Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a glass canopy unit, canopy structure, and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Some vehicles are equipped with glass panoramic sunroofs; when the vehicle is large, it may be necessary to install both front and rear glass panoramic sunroofs on the roof. For example... Figure 7-9 As shown, some vehicles are equipped with a front sunroof 6 and a rear sunroof 7. The front sunroof 6 has a first main locating pin 603 and a first secondary locating pin 604, which are fixedly connected to the first glass 601 of the front sunroof 6 by adhesive. The rear sunroof 7 has a second main locating pin 703 and a second secondary locating pin 704, which are fixedly connected to the second glass 701 of the rear sunroof 7 by adhesive. The front sunroof 6 is bonded to the first frame structure formed by the front crossbeam 803, the middle crossbeam 804, the left side panel 801, and the right side panel 802 of the vehicle body 8 using a first glass adhesive 602. The first main locating pin 603 and the first secondary locating pin 604 respectively mate with the first main locating hole and the first secondary locating hole on the first frame structure. The rear panoramic sunroof 7 is bonded to the second frame structure formed by the rear crossbeam 805, middle crossbeam 804, left side panel 801, and right side panel 802 of the vehicle body 8 using a second type of adhesive 702. The second main positioning pin 703 and the second auxiliary positioning pin 704 respectively mate with the second main positioning hole and the second auxiliary positioning hole on the second frame structure. By setting the front panoramic sunroof 6 and the rear panoramic sunroof 7, the requirements for glass size can be reduced, making it easy to implement.

[0003] Existing glass canopies have the following technical problems:

[0004] The positioning pins for glass sunroofs are typically fixed to the glass using adhesive, but the positional accuracy of these pins is difficult to guarantee, which in turn makes it difficult to ensure the installation accuracy of the glass sunroof. For vehicles with both front and rear glass sunroofs, the low installation accuracy of the front and rear glass sunroofs can lead to uneven gaps between them.

[0005] If the glass sunroof is only attached to the roof area of ​​the vehicle using silicone sealant, there is a possibility that the glass sunroof may detach due to the poor adhesion of the sealant.

[0006] After the glass sunroof is installed, the locating pins of the glass sunroof mate with the locating holes in the vehicle's roof area. Friction noise can easily occur between the locating pins and the locating holes. This is especially true when the locating pins have low positional accuracy. Utility Model Content
