Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive sunshade technology, and in particular to a hidden side sunshade structure and vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] To avoid driver discomfort caused by light entering through car windows, more and more vehicles are equipped with driver's side window sunshades. However, traditional sunshades are fixed by self-tapping screws on the outside of the side window trim, leaving the roll-up assembly at the top of the sunshade exposed, which disrupts the overall aesthetic of the vehicle's interior.
[0003] Therefore, Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN217994078U discloses a hidden side sunshade for trucks. The hidden side sunshade includes a door frame decorative component, a sunshade roller blind (equivalent to a curtain), a pull-down crossbar assembly, a pull-down handle (equivalent to a handle), and a rolling and installation accessory (equivalent to a rolling assembly). The door frame decorative component includes a decorative main board, a decorative panel, and a decorative strip. The decorative main board forms an installation space with the inner side panel (i.e., the panel installed on the side frame of the vehicle body) and is threadedly connected to the bracket. The decorative main board has a curtain clearance opening (equivalent to a clearance hole). The decorative panel is snapped onto the decorative main board and hides the threaded installation point. The decorative strip is snapped onto the decorative main board and together with the decorative panel, meets the overall shape and color requirements of this area.
[0004] As can be seen from the attached drawings and text description in the above technical solution, the retractable and installation accessories are installed on the side of the inner side panel. In this case, the sunshade roller blind is relatively close to the driver. Especially when driving on bumpy roads, the sunshade roller blind is prone to swaying with the vehicle when unfolded, making it easy for the driver to bump into it, affecting safe driving and potentially damaging the side sunshade. Furthermore, to accommodate the proper installation of the side sunshade, the decorative panel needs to extend towards the driver, reducing headroom in the driver's seat and also affecting normal driving to some extent.

[0025] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, the basic technical concept of this utility model is: to install the side sunshade at the bottom of the corresponding longitudinal beam at the top of the side frame, so as to increase the distance between the side sunshade and the driver, while saving the lateral space occupied by the installation of the side sunshade, and facilitating the driver's normal driving.
[0026] Based on the above concept, the present invention will be further described below with reference to different embodiments.
[0027] Specific embodiments of the concealed side sunshade structure in this utility model:
[0028] As a basic embodiment, a concealed side shading structure, such as Figure 3 As shown, the system includes a side frame 1 (only a partial structure of the side sunshade 3 is shown in the figure), a side window decorative assembly, and a side sunshade 3. The side sunshade 3 includes a curtain 3-2 and a retractable assembly 3-1. The side frame 1 and the side window decorative assembly form an installation space of a certain volume. The top of the retractable assembly 3-1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding longitudinal beam at the top of the side frame 1, and the entire retractable assembly 3-1 is located within the installation space. The side window decorative assembly has a clearance hole 2-1 located directly below the retractable assembly 3-1 for the curtain 3-2 to pass through.
[0029] Specifically, the side sunshade 3 is fixed to the driver's left side and is an assembly used to block sunlight. The corresponding longitudinal beam at the top of the side frame 1 refers to the longitudinal beam above the driver's side window. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagrams shown depict the side sunshade 3 in its unfolded and retracted states, respectively. The side sunshade 3 is connected to the bottom of the corresponding longitudinal beam at the top of the side frame 1 via screws 5 using the top of the retraction assembly 3-1. The side window decorative assembly is also installed on the side frame 1, which can be either snap-fitted or bolted. The retraction assembly 3-1 is used to unfold or retract the curtain fabric 3-2. The clearance hole 2-1 allows the curtain fabric 3-2 to pass through, and its direction, aligned with the direction of the curtain fabric 3-2, facilitates its extension and retraction.
[0030] The side sunshade 3 can adopt the existing pull-down strut type sunshade, including a retractable assembly 3-1, a curtain fabric 3-2, and a pull-down crossbar assembly 3-4 located at one end of the curtain fabric 3-2. A handle 3-5 for the driver to grip is connected to the middle of the pull-down crossbar assembly 3-4. When the side sunshade 3 is retracted, both ends of the pull-down crossbar assembly 3-4 abut against the bottom of the clearance hole 2-1 to limit the highest retractable position of the curtain fabric 3-2. In the direction perpendicular to the direction of the curtain fabric 3-2, the length of the clearance hole 2-1 should be greater than the width of the curtain fabric 3-2 so that when there is a deviation in the installation position of the retractable assembly 3-1, the clearance hole 2-1 can have a certain tolerance for the curtain fabric 3-2, preventing interference between the curtain fabric 3-2 and the clearance hole 2-1. Both the retractable assembly 3-1 and the handle 3-5 can use the retractable structure described in the prior art patent publication number CN217994078U.
[0031] To further prevent the side sunshade 3 from interfering with the driver's operation due to its swinging motion, the side sunshade 3 includes a support rod 3-3 spaced apart from the curtain 3-2, and the width of the clearance hole 2-1 is greater than the distance from the support rod 3-3 to the curtain 3-2. In this embodiment, the side sunshade 3 is a pull-down support rod type sunshade. In other embodiments, to prevent the curtain 3-2 from interfering with the driver's operation due to its swinging motion, uprights with sliding rails can be installed on both sides of the side window, so that the two sides of the curtain 3-2 are engaged in the uprights, allowing the curtain 3-2 to unfold and retract along the sliding rails.
[0032] In this embodiment, the retractable assembly 3-1 is installed at the bottom of the side frame 1. Compared with the prior art method of installing it on the inner side of the side frame in the lateral direction, at least part of the retractable assembly 3-1 overlaps with the side frame 1 in the lateral direction. This makes the side sunshade 3 closer to the side window and also increases the distance between the side sunshade 3 and the driver, minimizing the contact between the curtain 3-2 and the driver, thus not affecting the driver's normal driving and extending the service life of the side sunshade 3. At the same time, the side window trim assembly is closer to the side frame 1, which also saves the lateral space occupied by the retractable assembly 3-1, thereby increasing the lateral distance between the side window trim assembly and the driver. While ensuring the overall styling effect of the vehicle interior, it increases the available lateral space of the vehicle, making it more convenient for the driver to drive normally.
[0033] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, to simplify the structure of the side window trim assembly and ensure the connection strength between the side window trim assembly and the side frame, the side window trim assembly includes a mounting bracket 6 fixed to the side frame 1 and a side window trim panel 2 fixed to the mounting bracket 6. The mounting bracket 6 is located above the retractable assembly 3-1, and a clearance hole 2-1 is provided on the side window trim panel 2. Specifically, to ensure the connection strength between the side window trim assembly and the side frame, the mounting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side frame 1 by screws 5. To maintain the overall interior styling, the side window trim panel 2 is connected to the mounting bracket 6, which is located above the retractable assembly 3-1 and serves as a transition connection between the side window trim panel 2 and the side frame 1. This allows space below the side frame 1 for easy installation of the side sunshade 3. At the same time, the mounting bracket 6 simplifies the structure of the side window trim panel 2 and reduces the processing difficulty of the side window trim panel 2. In other embodiments, the side window trim component may be directly snapped onto the side frame 1 through its own laterally extending transition structure, or may adopt the upper trim structure described in authorization announcement number CN217994078U.
[0034] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment, such as... Figure 3As shown, to improve the overall integrity of the side window trim panel 2, the side window trim panel 2 is a one-piece molded structure, which includes a side trim part located on the inner side of the side frame and a bottom trim part located on the bottom side of the corresponding longitudinal beam. A clearance hole 2-1 is provided in the bottom trim part. Specifically, the side window trim panel 2 is connected to the side frame 1, and the retractable assembly 3-1 is connected to the bottom of the corresponding longitudinal beam at the top of the side frame 1. When the side window trim panel 2 is a one-piece structure, its overall strength is high, ensuring the shape and positional accuracy of the clearance hole 2-1 and preventing displacement during installation and normal use. Preferably, the side window trim panel 2 is made of ABS. Of course, those skilled in the art will understand that in other embodiments, a split side window trim panel 2 structure may also be used, but the positional accuracy of each part should be ensured.
[0035] Based on the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment, both the side and bottom decorative panels of the side window trim panel 2 are flat structures to facilitate manufacturing. Compared to curved structures, flat structures are easier to form. This also avoids localized bulges occupying space above the driver's seat, making driving more convenient. In other embodiments, the side decorative panels of the side window trim panel 2 can adopt the arc-shaped decorative panel structure described in authorization publication number CN217994078U, and the bottom decorative panel should be a flat structure to facilitate the opening of the clearance hole 2-1.
[0036] Furthermore, to reduce the manufacturing cost of the side window decorative panel 2, it can be manufactured using vacuum forming. The side window decorative panel 2 primarily serves a decorative function. Given its simple structure, the dimensional accuracy requirements for the bottom clearance hole 2-1 are not high; it only needs to ensure it does not interfere with the curtain fabric 3-2 and forms abutment with the pull-down crossbar assembly 3-4. Therefore, vacuum forming can be used to reduce the production cost of the side window decorative panel 2. In other embodiments, if the side window decorative panel 2 is composed of multiple panels spliced together, it can also be manufactured using injection molding or compression molding to improve the dimensional accuracy of the side window decorative panel 2.
[0037] Based on any of the above embodiments, as a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, to simplify the installation structure of the side sunshade 3, the side window trim panel 2 is bonded and fixed to the mounting bracket 6 via an adhesive structure. Specifically, the side window trim panel 2 and the mounting bracket 6 are connected by screws 5, and then the mounting bracket 6 is connected by hooks and loops 4. This ensures the connection strength between the mounting bracket 6 and the side window trim panel 2 while also facilitating the disassembly of the side window trim panel 2. Furthermore, the hooks and loops 4 are existing technologies that can be used to replace screws 5 and pins. In other embodiments, the side window trim panel 2 and the mounting bracket 6 may be connected by screws 5 or by snap-fit.

[0039] A vehicle includes a body, and a hidden side sunshade structure is provided at the position of the driver's seat on the body. The hidden side sunshade structure is the same as the hidden side sunshade structure in the above embodiment, and will not be described again.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
