[0002] With social development and technological progress, cars have become commonplace in every household and have become one of the main means of transportation for people's daily travel. While providing convenience for people's travel, the concentration of urban population has made it difficult for cities to meet the demand for parking spaces, which has also brought about the problem of parking difficulties. In particular, the limited number of underground garages has resulted in a large number of vehicles being left outdoors exposed to the elements.

[0003] Due to the intense summer sun, vehicles parked outdoors can experience excessively high interior temperatures when exposed to direct sunlight. This reduces comfort for passengers and accelerates the aging of interior materials, such as leather, plastic components, and wiring. Furthermore, high temperatures may cause interior trim, including plastic seats, to release harmful gases, posing a health risk to passengers.

[0004] To address this technical issue, various car sunshades have emerged on the market. However, a common problem with these sunshades is that they require manual opening and closing, which is inconvenient. Utility Model Content

The terms "including," "containing," "having," and their variations all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0053] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0054] The first aspect of this utility model provides a car sunshade, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, the car sunshade includes a housing 10, a telescopic opening 11, a shading assembly 20, and a drive assembly. In one optional embodiment, the receiving cavity and the telescopic opening 11 are distributed along the length direction of the housing 10.

[0055] The housing 10 includes a shell wall and a receiving cavity defined by the shell wall. A telescopic opening 11 communicates with the receiving cavity and is provided on at least one side wall of the housing 10. A drive assembly is used to drive the blocking assembly 20 to be retracted and extended from the telescopic opening 11, so as to house the blocking assembly 20 within the housing 10 or to make the blocking assembly 20 form a blocking barrier with a predetermined blocking range.

[0056] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 2As shown, the shielding assembly 20 includes a telescopic cap 21 and a shielding member 22. The telescopic cap 21 is adapted to the shape of the telescopic opening 11, that is, the telescopic cap 21 can just close the telescopic opening 11 and achieve a good seal. Optionally, a sealing strip can be provided on the edge of the telescopic cap 21 or the closed telescopic opening 11 to increase the sealing between the telescopic cap 21 and the closed telescopic opening 11. At the same time, the sealing strip can also act as a buffer, cushioning the collision between the telescopic cap 21 and the closed telescopic opening 11 when the shielding member 22 is retracted.

[0057] The shielding element 22 can be made of sunshade cloth. One end of the shielding element 22 is connected to the telescopic cover 21, and the other end is connected to the roller 32. Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly includes a spreading assembly 31, a roller 32, and a motor for driving the roller 32 to rotate. The spreading assembly 31 has a tendency to push the telescopic cover 21 away from the telescopic opening 11. The motor is capable of driving the roller 32 to rotate so that the blocking member 22 can be wound around the roller 32 or released from the roller 32.

[0058] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the spreading assembly 31 includes a first spreading arm 31a, a second spreading arm 31b, and an elastic element (not shown in the figures). The elastic element may be a tension spring. One end of the first spreading arm 31a is hinged to the housing 10, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second spreading arm 31b. The other end of the second spreading arm 31b is connected to the telescopic cover 21. One end of the elastic element is connected to the first spreading arm 31a, and the other end is connected to the second spreading arm 31b. The elastic element stretches the first spreading arm 31a and the second spreading arm 31b, tending to widen the angle between the first spreading arm 31a and the second spreading arm 31b. It should be emphasized that the elastic element is always in a stretched state.

[0059] Using the extended awning as the starting point (e.g.) Figure 3 and Figure 4 (As shown), briefly explain the working principle of the awning:

[0060] When the blocking component 22 needs to be retracted, the motor drives the roller 32 to rotate clockwise. Since one end of the blocking component 22 is connected to the roller 32 and the other end is connected to the telescopic cover 21, while the blocking component 22 is being wound around the roller 32, the telescopic cover 21 is gradually pulled towards the telescopic opening 11, that is, the telescopic cover 21 moves towards the telescopic opening 11. At the same time, the elastic element is further stretched and is in an energy storage state. The included angle between the first opening arm 31a and the second opening arm 31b gradually decreases, and the blocking component 22 is gradually wound around the roller 32 until the telescopic cover 21 is completely closed and pulled towards the telescopic opening 11, completing the storage of the blocking component 20.

[0061] When the blocking member 22 needs to be extended, the motor rotates counterclockwise, releasing the blocking member 22 wound on the roller 32. Under the action of the elastic element, the angle of the first spreading arm 31a and the second spreading arm 31b gradually increases, and the telescopic cover 21 gradually moves away from the telescopic opening 11 until the blocking member 22 is completely released. The maximum included angle between the first spreading arm 1a and the second spreading arm 31b should be less than 180°, that is, when the blocking member 22 is in the fully extended state, the included angle between the first spreading arm 31a and the second spreading arm 31b is less than 180°. Ensuring that the included angle between the first spreading arm 31a and the second spreading arm 31b is less than 180° when the blocking member 22 is in the fully extended state can be achieved by limiting the length of the blocking member 22.

[0062] The purpose of limiting the maximum angle between the first spreading arm 31a and the second spreading arm 31b is to prevent the first spreading arm 31a and the second spreading arm 31b from forming a negative angle.

[0063] It needs to be emphasized again that whether the awning is in the extension or retraction process, the elastic element is always in a stretched state, always stretching the first extension arm 31a and the second extension arm 31b. The deployment of the awning member 22 is achieved through the cooperation of the drive assembly and the extension assembly 31.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, both the first supporting arm 31a and the second supporting arm 31b are hollow structures, with one end of the elastic element extending into the first supporting arm 31a and the other end extending into the second supporting arm 31b. This allows the elastic element to be hidden within the first supporting arm 31a and the second supporting arm 31b, improving space utilization and aesthetics.

[0065] In one optional embodiment, one end of the elastic element is fixedly connected to the first spreading arm 31a or the second spreading arm 31b, and the other end is provided with a cable. Figure 6As shown, the first spreading arm 31a and the second spreading arm 31b are hinged together by a hinge structure 40. The hinge structure 40 is pivotally connected to the first spreading arm 31a or the second spreading arm 31b, and the cable is slidably guided by a guide groove 41 provided on the hinge structure 40.

[0066] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the housing 10 is provided with a slide rail 12 arranged along the length of the housing 10, and at least two mounting seats 13 are provided at the slide rail 12 that can be slidably connected to the slide rail 12. The mounting seats 13 can be fixedly connected to the slide rail 12 or slidably connected to the slide rail 12. The above connection method can be achieved by using T-shaped or round-headed bolts and corresponding nuts. This arrangement is to allow adjustment of the distance between the mounting seats 13 to accommodate installation objects of different widths.

[0067] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, the slide rail 12 is a groove formed at the bottom of the housing 10. The mounting base 13 includes a body 13a, a through hole or threaded hole 13b provided on the body 13a, a bolt 13c adapted to the through hole or threaded hole 13b, and a nut 13d adapted to the bolt 13c. The head of the bolt 13c is located inside the housing 10, and the shank extends out of the housing 10 from the groove and into the through hole or threaded hole 13b, partially exposed outside the through hole or threaded hole 13b. With the nut 13d not tightened, the mounting base 13 can slide along the slide rail 12. Thus, after adjusting the distance between the two mounting bases 13, tightening the nut 13d achieves fixation.

[0068] The mounting bases 13 can share the same slide rail 12, or they can each have a corresponding slide rail 12. Considering that the car sunshade of this invention is mostly used on vehicles (SUVs and sedans), different types of vehicles will not have significant differences in width. Therefore, in a preferred embodiment, two mounting bases 13 are provided, respectively located at two ends near the length of the housing 10. Slide rails 12 are also provided for the two mounting bases 13, symmetrically arranged about the centerline of the housing 10's length. The length of the slide rails 12 should conform to the width range of most vehicles. This reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the housing 10.

[0069] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 3As shown, telescopic openings 11 are provided on both sides of the housing 10, and two blocking members 22 are provided, both of which are connected to the roller 32. One of the blocking members 22 is connected to the telescopic opening cover 21 on one side of the housing 10 and can extend into or out of the housing 10 from the telescopic opening 11 on that side. The other blocking member 22 is connected to the telescopic opening cover 21 on the other side of the housing 10 and can extend into or out of the housing 10 from the telescopic opening 11 on that side. This allows the formation of a barrier at both ends. Of course, both blocking members 22 need to be equipped with independent opening components (31). In other words, in this specific embodiment, except for the roller and the motor which are shared, the other components are independently equipped (specifically, the first opening arm 31a, the second opening arm 31b, the telescopic opening, the blocking member 22, and the telescopic opening cover 21). With this arrangement, a barrier can be formed on both sides of the housing 10, and this can be achieved with just one set of rollers and a motor.

[0070] In one optional embodiment, a photovoltaic panel 14 is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 10. The photovoltaic panel 14 can provide electrical energy to the built-in battery of the awning. Charging the battery with the photovoltaic panel 14 is prior art, and corresponding technical teachings exist in the prior art. Specifically, in a photovoltaic power generation system, the photovoltaic panel and the battery are connected through a controller. The controller's function is to adjust the voltage and current output by the photovoltaic panel to match the charging requirements of the battery. When there is sufficient sunlight, the current generated by the photovoltaic panel, after being regulated by the controller, charges the battery. When the battery is fully charged, the controller automatically cuts off the charging circuit to prevent overcharging from damaging the battery.

[0071] This utility model's car sunshade can automatically unfold and retract its shielding components via a drive assembly, forming a shielding barrier within a predetermined range at a predetermined location. This reduces direct sunlight exposure to the vehicle when outdoors, lowers the interior temperature, extends the lifespan of interior leather and plastic products and wiring, and prevents harmful gases released from interior trim such as plastic seats at high temperatures, thus protecting the health of passengers. Simultaneously, it solves the problem of existing car sunshades requiring manual opening and closing, which is inconvenient.

[0072] The second aspect of this utility model provides a car roof rack, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the car roof rack includes a car sunshade and a roof rack body 50. The car sunshade is located at least on one side of the roof rack body 50. In a preferred embodiment, the car sunshade is located on the front and / or rear side of the roof rack body 50. When the car roof rack is applied to a vehicle, the telescopic opening 11 of the car sunshade faces the front and / or rear end of the vehicle.

[0073] The third aspect of this utility model provides an automobile, such as Figure 9As shown, the vehicle includes a vehicle body 60 and the aforementioned roof rack. The roof rack is mounted on top of the vehicle body 60.

[0074] This utility model also provides an outdoor canopy, such as Figure 10 As shown, the outdoor canopy includes the aforementioned car awning and a support member 70. The support member 70 is used to support the car awning. When the car awning is deployed, it can be used as an outdoor canopy under the support of the support member 70.

[0075] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other, and any combination of features from different embodiments is also within the scope of protection of this application. In other words, the multiple embodiments described above can also be arbitrarily combined according to actual needs. All the above figures are exemplary illustrations of this application and do not represent the actual size of the product, and the dimensional ratio between the components in the figures is not intended to limit the actual product of this application.

[0076] The above are merely some embodiments and implementation methods of this application. The scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
