Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of folding roof, specifically, it is about a folding roof and vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous progress of automobile technology and the growth of consumer demand for personalization, as a characteristic vehicle model in the automobile market, the unique open driving experience of the convertible has been widely welcomed. In the design of the convertible, the folding roof, as its core component, not only affects the appearance aesthetics of the vehicle, but also directly relates to the comfort and safety of driving.

[0003] The folding roof is a key component for the convertible to realize the opening and closing of the roof. It allows the driver to open the roof when needed; when not needed, it can be folded and stored to restore the complete appearance of the vehicle. However, when the folding roof is opened, its center of gravity is located at the rear, and the folding roof and the vehicle body are seamless; when closed, the center of gravity of the folding roof shifts to the front, causing the convertible roof to tilt forward, resulting in a larger joint at the overlap of the folding roof and the vehicle body, affecting the appearance and sealing, so it is necessary to improve. SUMMARY

[0004] To solve the above problems of the prior art, the utility model provides a folding roof and vehicle, which is simple in structure and high in practicality.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] As an aspect of the utility model, a folding roof is provided, which comprises: a front roof, a rear roof and a middle roof, the front roof is detachably fixed on the vehicle body, the rear roof is detachably fixed on the vehicle body, the middle roof is connected between the front roof and the rear roof, and the front roof and the rear roof are relatively foldable through the middle roof;

[0007] The inner side of the rear cross beam of the rear roof is connected with a mounting piece, and there is a preset distance between the mounting surface of the mounting piece and the vehicle body;

[0008] A supporting unit is connected to the mounting surface of the mounting piece.

[0009] Further, the supporting unit comprises a supporting column, an upper end of the supporting column is formed with a connecting rod, and a lower end of the supporting column abuts against the upper surface of the vehicle body or the middle roof.

[0010] Further, an external thread is formed on the outer surface of the connecting rod; a threaded hole is formed on the mounting surface of the mounting piece, and the connecting rod is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0011] As another aspect of this utility model, a vehicle is proposed that includes a folding roof convertible as described above.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model of a folding convertible roof and vehicle are specifically reflected in: effectively solving the problem of seam at the junction of the folding convertible roof and the vehicle body, and having a simple structure, low cost, and strong practicality. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The accompanying drawings, which form part of this application, are used to provide a further understanding of the present invention. The illustrative embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention and do not constitute an improper limitation of the present invention.

[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the installation state of the folding roof convertible of this utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Partial schematic diagram at point A in the middle;

[0016] Figure 3 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of its breakdown. Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0018] One embodiment of this application provides a folding roof convertible, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, it includes a front top 1, a rear top 2, and a middle top 4. These tops are designed to function as shells and completely cover the passenger compartment of the vehicle when the convertible roof is closed. The front top 1 and the rear top 2 are detachably fixed to the vehicle body. The middle top 4 connects the front top 1 and the rear top 2, and the front top 1 and the rear top 2 can be folded together via the middle top 4. It should be noted that the front and rear are distinguished by the front and rear of the vehicle, with the part closer to the front being the front and the part closer to the rear being the rear. This is common knowledge in the art and will not be elaborated further. In addition, the structure of the front top 1, the middle top 4, and the rear top 2 is prior art, such as the structure of the front top, middle top, and rear top described in publication number CN221819849U, and will not be elaborated further here.
