Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of golf cart accessories technology, and in particular to a curved injection-molded canopy. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, golf carts are widely used in golf courses, tourist attractions, and other venues due to their lightweight and maneuverability. The golf cart canopy is the covering on top of the cart, its main function being to provide shade and rain protection for passengers.
[0003] Most existing golf cart canopies are injection molded from ordinary plastic materials. Although plastic materials are low in cost, canopy designs often lack effective reinforcement measures, resulting in significant deficiencies in strength and durability. This leads to problems such as deformation and cracking in the central area of the canopy after prolonged use, seriously affecting the vehicle's safety and aesthetics. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to improve the strength and extend the service life of golf cart roofs, this application provides a curved injection-molded roof.
[0005] The technical solution for a curved injection-molded ceiling provided in this application is as follows:
[0006] A curved injection-molded ceiling includes a ceiling body and a raised edge. One side of the ceiling body is recessed inward to form a raised portion. The raised edge is arranged circumferentially around the raised portion and is located at the edge of the ceiling body. A plurality of reinforcing ribs are integrally formed on the ceiling body. The reinforcing ribs are arranged along the length direction of the ceiling body and are spaced apart on the raised portion.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a ring is set around the edge of the main body of the canopy, forming a frame that protects the edge of the main body of the canopy. The reinforcing ribs can significantly improve the longitudinal and transverse strength of the main body of the canopy. The design of the convex edge and the reinforcing ribs are cleverly combined to form an efficient and stable reinforcement system, reducing the risk of deformation and damage to the canopy caused by external factors and extending the service life of the canopy.
[0008] Preferably, a water groove is formed between the convex edge and the protrusion, and a relief groove is provided on the convex edge, which is connected to the water groove.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, rainwater falling on the main body of the roof will be collected in the water trough during rainy days, and then flow to the ground through the drainage channel.
[0010] Preferably, the main body of the canopy includes a first canopy body and a second canopy body, which are detachably connected.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the area to be covered on the top of the golf cart is relatively small, only the first or second canopy can be used for sun and rain protection; when the area to be covered on the top of the golf cart is relatively large, the first and second canopies can be connected to provide a larger coverage area.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting plate is provided on one side of the first shed, and a limiting groove is formed between the limiting plate and the first shed. A plurality of insert posts are provided on one side of the second shed, and the insert posts are inserted into the limiting groove and locked by fasteners.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, during installation, the insertion post is inserted into the limiting groove, and then locked with fasteners to complete the fixation of the first and second canopies. Simultaneously, the limiting plate acts as a barrier, preventing the second canopy from detaching from the first canopy.
[0014] Preferably, the fastener is a fastening bolt or a fastening screw, one end of which passes through the first housing and is screwed to the insert.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the fastening bolts or fastening screws are detachable objects, and the first and second sheds are detachably connected by a combination of screwing and plugging.
[0016] Preferably, the second canopy is provided with a positioning strip on the side near the insertion post, and the first canopy is provided with a positioning groove near the limiting groove. When the first canopy and the second canopy are connected to each other, the positioning strip is engaged in the positioning groove.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning strip is snapped into the positioning groove, which can further improve the firmness of the connection between the first and second canopies.
[0018] Preferably, it further includes a plurality of reinforcing plates, which are used to connect the raised edge and the canopy body, and the reinforcing plates are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the canopy body.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the reinforcing plate can improve the strength of the connection between the flange and the main body of the roof.
[0020] Preferably, the first and second sheds are formed by injection molding.
[0021] By adopting the above-mentioned technical solutions, injection molding is a highly efficient production process that can produce a large number of golf cart canopies in a short time. Using injection molding machines and molds enables automated production, improving efficiency and reducing labor costs. Simultaneously, injection molding allows for precise control of the canopy's size and shape, ensuring consistency and accuracy for each canopy. This is crucial for the overall appearance and performance of the golf cart, guaranteeing a good match between the canopy and the cart body, and improving assembly efficiency and quality.
[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0023] (1) By setting up a raised edge and a reinforcing rib, the design of the raised edge and the reinforcing rib are cleverly combined to form an efficient and stable reinforcement system, which reduces the risk of deformation and damage to the ceiling caused by external factors and extends the service life of the ceiling.
[0024] (2) By setting up water troughs, rainwater is collected in the water troughs and then flows to the ground through the relief troughs, thus preventing rainwater from accumulating on the main body of the roof.
[0025] (3) By setting up reinforcing plates, the strength of the connection between the flange and the main body of the ceiling can be improved, making the entire ceiling less prone to breakage and damage. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection; a detachable connection; an integral part; or a mechanical connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0035] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples shown in this application, as well as the features of those embodiments or examples.
[0036] This application discloses an arc-shaped injection-molded ceiling. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ceiling includes a ceiling body 1 and a raised edge 2. One side of the ceiling body 1 has a recessed protrusion 3. The raised edge 2 is arranged circumferentially around the protrusion 3 and is located at the edge of the ceiling body 1. Several reinforcing ribs 4 are integrally formed on the ceiling body 1, arranged along the length of the ceiling body 1, and spaced apart on the protrusion 3. A reinforcing plate 5 is also fixedly connected between the raised edge 2 and the ceiling body 1. Several reinforcing plates 5 are provided, and are located on the same side as the reinforcing ribs 4, spaced apart along the circumference of the ceiling body 1.
[0037] The annular convex edge 2 forms a frame that protects the edge of the main body 1 of the ceiling, while the reinforcing rib 4 significantly improves the longitudinal and transverse strength of the main body 1 of the ceiling. The design of the convex edge 2 and the reinforcing rib 4 are cleverly combined to form a stable reinforcement system, which reduces the risk of deformation and damage to the ceiling caused by external factors and extends the service life of the ceiling.
[0038] Specifically, an annular water trough 6 is formed between the raised edge 2 and the raised part 3, and a clearance groove 7 is provided through the raised edge 2, which is connected to the water trough 6. On rainy days, rainwater falling on the main body of the roof will collect in the water trough 6 and then flow to the ground through the clearance groove 7, thus preventing rainwater from accumulating on the main body of the roof 1.
[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the canopy body 1 is a split structure, comprising a detachably connected first canopy 11 and a second canopy 12, both of which are injection molded. When the area to be covered on the top of the golf cart is relatively small, only the first canopy 11 or the second canopy 12 can be used for sun and rain protection; when the area to be covered on the top of the golf cart is relatively large, the first canopy 11 and the second canopy 12 can be connected to provide a larger coverage area.
[0040] A limiting plate 8 is integrally connected to one side of the first shed 11. The limiting plate 8 is set along the width direction of the first shed 11, and a limiting groove 9 is formed between the limiting plate 8 and the first shed 11. A number of inserts 10 are fixedly connected to one side of the second shed 12. Each insert 10 is spaced apart along the width direction of the second shed 12. The inserts 10 are inserted into the first shed 11 and locked by fasteners. The fasteners are fastening bolts or fastening screws. One end of the fastening bolt or fastening screw passes through the first shed 11 and is screwed onto the insert 10.
[0041] During installation, the insert pins 10 are inserted into the limiting grooves 9 and then locked with fasteners to fix the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are connected to each other, each insert pin 10 is located within the limiting groove 9. At the same time, the presence of the limiting plate 8 can act as a barrier, preventing the second housing 12 from detaching from the first housing 11.
[0042] The second canopy 12 is fixedly connected to a positioning strip 13 on the side near the insertion post 10. The first canopy 11 has a positioning groove 14, which is close to the limiting groove 9, so that the limiting groove 9 is located between the positioning groove 14 and the limiting plate 8. When the first canopy 11 and the second canopy 12 are connected to each other, the positioning strip 13 is engaged in the positioning groove 14, and the static friction further improves the firmness of the connection between the first canopy 11 and the second canopy 12, making it difficult for the first canopy 11 and the second canopy 12 to separate.
[0043] The implementation principle of an arc-shaped injection-molded ceiling according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: the annularly arranged protruding edge 2 can construct a protective frame for the edge of the ceiling body 1. At the same time, the reinforcing rib 4 can significantly improve the longitudinal and transverse strength of the ceiling body 1. The protruding edge 2 and the reinforcing rib 4 are ingeniously integrated to form a stable reinforcement system. This system reduces the risk of ceiling deformation and damage caused by external factors, thereby extending the service life of the ceiling.
[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
