Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sunshade curtain technology, and in particular to a bottom-mounted canopy sunshade curtain system. Background Technology
[0002] Panoramic sunshade systems typically refer to sunshade devices installed on the roof of a car to block sunlight and improve interior comfort. Sunshades are generally made of UV-resistant fabric and can effectively block strong direct sunlight. Currently, with the rise of new energy vehicles, panoramic sunroofs are becoming increasingly widely used in car roofs due to their large field of vision and relatively small headroom.
[0003] Existing sunshade systems are typically installed from top to bottom. This installation method is not only complex, but also requires customization based on the unique styling of each vehicle model. Each model's sunshade system must be developed and manufactured separately. Therefore, this customized development model leads to a significant increase in development costs. Without stable sales, it is difficult for companies to recover these high development costs through sales. In addition, it prolongs the entire production cycle, reduces production efficiency, and further increases costs and production difficulty. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a bottom-mounted skylight sunshade system. By using the bottom-mounted skylight, the appearance and vision are greatly improved compared with the traditional panoramic skylight, which is more conducive to the customer's space arrangement. At the same time, the bottom-mounted skylight system can realize platform application, which greatly reduces development costs.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bottom-mounted sunshade system, including a car roof and a frame assembly mounted on the car roof. The frame assembly has a fixed panel, and a sunshade assembly is located below the fixed panel. The frame assembly includes an outer frame and an inner frame below the outer frame. The fixed panel is mounted on the inner frame, and a sealing component is provided between the inner frame and the outer frame. The front end of the inner frame has a front beam, and the rear end of the inner frame has a rear beam. Guide rails are provided on both sides of the inner frame, and the guide rails are fixed between the front beam and the rear beam. The sunshade assembly is mounted on the guide rails, and a motor assembly for driving the sunshade assembly to unfold and retract is provided on the front beam.
[0006] The inner side of the outer frame is provided with a mounting protrusion, which abuts against the car roof. The car roof is provided with a first sealing side extending downward.
[0007] The inner frame includes a mounting plate, the fixed panel is mounted on the mounting plate, one end of the mounting plate is provided with a downwardly extending second sealing side, the second sealing side is provided with a bottom edge, the end of the bottom edge away from the second sealing side is provided with an upwardly extending outer side, a U-shaped mounting groove is formed between the second sealing side, the bottom edge, and the outer side, and the sealing assembly and the first sealing side are disposed in the U-shaped mounting groove.
[0008] The sealing assembly includes a support rib, and an elastic sealing tape is provided on the side of the support rib near the inner frame. The elastic sealing tape has an arc-shaped structure.
[0009] The bottom end of the first sealing side is provided with a sealing flange extending into the inner frame, and the supporting rib is provided with a corresponding slot, and the sealing flange is inserted into the slot.
[0010] The bottom end of the support rib is also provided with a sealing protrusion.
[0011] The supporting rib is provided with sealing tape on the side near the outer frame.
[0012] A slider is slidably mounted on the guide rail, and a movable crossbeam is provided on the slider. The movable end of the sunshade assembly is fixed on the movable crossbeam.

Next, the inner frame is installed from below at the bottom of the outer frame, ensuring that the first sealing side and the sealing assembly are installed in the U-shaped mounting groove. Because the elastic sealing tape of the sealing assembly is arc-shaped, the outer edge will squeeze the elastic sealing tape, causing it to move outwards. This allows the support rib to press the sealing tape tightly against the first sealing side, while the elastic sealing tape firmly abuts against the outer edge, completing the seal between the outer and inner frames. Finally, the front beam, rear beam, and guide rail are installed on the frame assembly. In use, the motor assembly drives the rope, which in turn drives the flexible shaft to stretch, thereby driving the slider and movable crossbeam to move along the guide rail, realizing the unfolding or retraction of the sunshade.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] according to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model discloses a bottom-mounted sunshade system, including a car roof 1 and a frame assembly mounted on the car roof 1. A fixed panel 2 is provided on the frame assembly, and a sunshade assembly 3 is installed below the fixed panel 2. The entire sunshade system effectively blocks sunlight, reduces interior temperature, and improves passenger comfort. The frame assembly mainly consists of an outer frame 4 and an inner frame 5. The inner frame 5 has a front beam 7 at its front end and a rear beam 8 at its rear end. Guide rails 9 are provided on both sides of the inner frame 5, fixed between the front beam 7 and the rear beam 8, forming a guide channel for the sunshade's opening and closing. The sunshade assembly 3 is mounted on the guide rails 9 and moves smoothly along them with the operation of the motor drive mechanism. The motor assembly 10 is mounted on the front beam 7 and is responsible for driving the sunshade's opening and closing, allowing the driver to control the automatic opening and closing of the sunshade. The motor assembly 10 does not directly contact the fixed panel 2 to prevent breakage of the fixed panel 2. A sealing component 6 is provided between the inner frame 5 and the outer frame 4 to provide waterproofing and dustproofing, ensuring the service life and stability of the system in various environments.
[0030] The inner side of the outer frame 4 is provided with a mounting protrusion 11, which abuts against the car roof 1. The car roof 1 is provided with a downwardly extending first sealing side 12. The inner frame 5 includes a mounting plate 13, and the fixing panel 2 is mounted on the mounting plate 13. One end of the mounting plate 13 is provided with a downwardly extending second sealing side 14. The second sealing side 14 is provided with a bottom edge 15, and the end of the bottom edge 15 away from the second sealing side 14 is provided with an upwardly extending outer side 16. The outer side 16 cooperates with the first sealing side 12 to form a good sealing effect, thereby improving the protective performance of the system. A U-shaped mounting groove is formed between the second sealing side 14, the bottom edge 15, and the outer side 16. The sealing component 6 cooperates with the first sealing side 12 and is installed in the U-shaped mounting groove to ensure that the sealing component 6 can be firmly fixed.
[0031] The sealing assembly 6 includes a support rib 17. On the side of the support rib 17 closest to the inner frame 5, an elastic sealing tape 18 is provided. The elastic sealing tape 18 has an arc-shaped structure and can automatically adjust with slight displacement between the inner and outer frames 4. The bottom end of the first sealing side 12 has a sealing flange 19 extending towards the inner frame 5. The support rib 17 has a corresponding slot 20, into which the sealing flange 19 is inserted. Furthermore, the bottom end of the support rib 17 also has a sealing protrusion 21, which forms a tighter contact with the sealing flange 19, improving the sealing effect. On the side of the support rib 17 closest to the outer frame 4, a sealing tape 22 is provided. The sealing tape 22 can fill tiny gaps in the contact surface, further improving the sealing performance.
[0032] A slider 23 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 9, enabling the smooth movement of the sunshade curtain. A movable crossbeam 24 on the slider 23 connects to and drives the movable end of the sunshade curtain assembly 3, allowing the sunshade curtain to be unfolded or retracted as needed, ensuring flexible adjustment of the shading effect. A drive shaft 25 is connected to the slider 23, providing power through a flexible connection, allowing the sunshade curtain to slide smoothly on the guide rail 9. The motor assembly 10 electrically drives the unfolding and retraction of the sunshade curtain. A rope 26 is connected to its drive unit, serving as a transmission medium to transmit the motor's power to the drive shaft 25. The drive shaft 25 is connected to the rope 26; the rope 26 pulls on the shaft, causing it to rotate, thereby driving the slider 23 to unfold or retract the sunshade curtain.
[0033] The outer frame 4 is provided with a first water inlet 27 and a second water inlet 28. The first water inlet 27 corresponds to the first water collection trough 29 on the front beam 7. A first drain outlet 31 is connected to the first water collection trough 29. The first drain outlet 31 is used to guide the water collected in the first water collection trough 29 out to ensure that the water can be discharged in time and to avoid water accumulation causing corrosion or other damage to the frame or the sunshade body. Similarly, the rear beam 8 is provided with a second water collection trough 30 corresponding to the second water inlet 28. The function of the second water collection trough 30 is similar to that of the first water collection trough 29, which is responsible for collecting the water entering through the second water inlet 28. A second drain outlet 32 is also connected to the second water collection trough 30.
[0034] During assembly, the outer frame 4 is first installed on the car roof 1, and the sealing component 6 is installed on the outer frame 4, ensuring that the installation is fully inserted into the slot 20. Then, the inner frame 5 is installed from below at the bottom of the outer frame 4, ensuring that the first sealing side 12 and the sealing component 6 are installed in the U-shaped mounting groove. Because the elastic sealing tape 18 of the sealing component 6 is arc-shaped, the outer side 16 will squeeze the elastic sealing tape 18, causing it to move outwards. This allows the support rib 17 to press the sealing tape 22 tightly onto the first sealing side 12, while the elastic sealing tape 18 tightly abuts against the outer side 16, thus completing the seal between the outer frame 4 and the inner frame 5. Finally, the front beam 7, rear beam 8, and guide rail 9 are installed on the frame assembly. In use, the motor assembly 10 drives the rope 26, which in turn drives the drive shaft 25 to stretch, thereby driving the slider 23 and the movable crossbeam 24 to move along the guide rail 9, realizing the unfolding or retraction of the sunshade.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0036] This utility model, through the form of a bottom-mounted skylight, offers a significantly improved field of vision compared to traditional panoramic skylights, while taking up less space and being more conducive to the customer's spatial arrangement.
[0037] This invention effectively solves the problem of cracking that easily occurs in traditional sunroofs during use, as well as the problem of abnormal noise that may occur in sunroof systems during driving.
[0038] This effectively solves the leakage problem that is common in traditional sunroof systems. The optimized drainage area design can quickly and accurately divert water away from the system, preventing rainwater from accumulating or leaking into the vehicle interior.
[0039] The frame assembly no longer requires sealant, which not only simplifies the production and installation process but also reduces maintenance issues caused by aging or damaged sealant strips.
