Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sunroof guide rail technology, specifically to a vehicle sunroof guide rail with a waterproof sealing structure. Background Technology

[0002] Sunroofs are increasingly being incorporated into vehicles to enhance driving comfort. Sunroofs are typically mounted on the vehicle roof using rails for opening and closing. Most vehicle structures primarily design rails for single sun visors or single-roller sunshades, with fewer designs specifically for double-roller sunshades. In existing double-roller sunshade rail structures, to avoid complex and bulky designs that could lead to manufacturing and installation problems, the support surface for the sunshade slider is usually designed to be narrow due to overall motion mechanism design considerations, resulting in poor stability during sunshade operation. Furthermore, the overall structural strength and reliability of the rail are also factors that need to be comprehensively considered during the design process. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a vehicle sunroof guide rail with a waterproof and sealing structure. The guide rail features multiple slots integrating a slider or other carrier / fabric folding and storage structure for the sunroof system and a structure for the opening and closing of the glass sunroof. The guide rail has functionally different slots in the middle to integrate the sunroof's mechanical components. A planar structure on the left side of the guide rail facilitates the fabrication and installation of a matching structure with the vehicle body panel. The large-angle overlap between the waterproof elastic layer guide rail and the front and rear beams effectively prevents water from entering the guide rail, significantly improving its sealing performance. The guide rail can be made of aluminum alloy, formed through an extrusion process, making the cross-section easier to achieve and allowing for structural reinforcement.

[0004] To achieve the objective of this utility model, the technical solution adopted is as follows:
