Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the roof structure 100 allows for the installation of the lifting chamber 2 by setting the roof shell 1. The lifting chamber 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the roof shell 1, so that the vehicle can adapt to the height of most underground parking garages and facilitate users to walk upright in the interior space of the vehicle. Furthermore, by setting the first sealing member 3 and the second sealing member 4, the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 can be sealed together after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered and raised, respectively, so as to effectively prevent rainwater and other substances from entering the interior space of the vehicle through the gap between the two, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a vehicle roof structure 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a roof shell 1, a lifting chamber 2, a first sealing member 3, and a second sealing member 4.

[0040] The roof shell 1 is adapted to be connected to the vehicle body, and the roof shell 1 is provided with a lifting space 11; the lifting chamber 2 is installed in the lifting space 11 in a lifting manner, and the lifting chamber 2 forms a downward open receiving space 21, the receiving space 21 is used to communicate with the interior space of the vehicle body; the first sealing member 3 is used to seal the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered, and the second sealing member 4 is used to seal the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 is raised.

[0041] Specifically, the interior of the roof structure 100 has a certain space, and the roof structure 100 can be added to the top of the vehicle body as an extension of the vehicle body to increase the height of the interior space of the vehicle body so that users can walk upright inside. The roof structure 100 can also be constructed to adapt to the shape of the vehicle to avoid changing the shape of the vehicle due to the installation of the roof structure 100. Alternatively, the roof shell 1 can be embedded in the top of the vehicle body so that the vehicle can adapt to the height of most underground parking garages to solve the parking problem. The roof structure 100 can also be made to be harmonious and unified with the shape of the vehicle.

[0042] The roof structure 100 includes a roof shell 1 and a lifting compartment 2. The roof shell 1 serves as the outer shell of the roof structure 100 and is used to connect with the vehicle body to achieve the installation and fixation of the roof structure 100. The interior of the roof shell 1 forms a lifting space 11, and the lifting compartment 2 is installed in the lifting space 11 in a height-adjustable manner. That is, the lifting space 11 can be used to accommodate the lifting compartment 2 to achieve the installation of the lifting compartment 2, and the roof shell 1 can protect the lifting compartment 2 from the outside to avoid damage to the lifting compartment 2 due to collisions or other situations. Furthermore, the lifting compartment 2 can rise and fall relative to the roof shell 1 within the lifting space 11, that is, the lifting compartment 2 can rise or fall relative to the roof shell 1 to change the overall height of the vehicle body.

[0043] It should be noted that, in actual design, the lifting chamber 2 can be a one-piece molded structure, or the lifting chamber 2 can be constructed as multiple structural components, so that the multiple structural components are connected together to form the lifting chamber 2, so that the multiple structural components can be molded separately, reducing the molding difficulty.

[0044] Furthermore, when the lift cabin 2 is raised, it can serve as an extension of the vehicle's interior space, thereby increasing the height of the vehicle's interior space and making it easier for users to walk upright inside. When the lift cabin 2 is lowered, it can be stored in the lifting space 11, so that the vehicle can adapt to the height of most underground parking garages, making it easier for users to park.

[0045] It should be noted that the lifting chamber 2 can be made of a material with a certain strength to reduce the possibility of deformation and damage caused by collisions and other factors, thereby extending the service life of the lifting chamber 2.

[0046] Meanwhile, the lifting cabin 2 forms a downward-opening accommodating space 21, which can be opened towards the interior space of the vehicle body so that the accommodating space 21 can be connected with the interior space of the vehicle body. Thus, when the lifting cabin 2 is raised, the accommodating space 21 can serve as an extension of the interior space of the vehicle body, thereby increasing the height of the interior space of the vehicle body and making it easier for users to stand upright inside.

[0047] Furthermore, the roof structure 100 also includes a first sealing element 3 and a second sealing element 4. Both the first sealing element 3 and the second sealing element 4 serve a sealing function. The first sealing element 3 is used to seal the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered, that is, after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered, the first sealing element 3 can be used to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 to prevent rainwater and other substances from entering the interior space of the vehicle body through the gap between the two. The second sealing element 4 is used to seal the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 is raised, that is, after the lifting chamber 2 is raised, the second sealing element 4 can be used to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 to prevent rainwater and other substances from entering the interior space of the vehicle body through the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1. Thus, by sealing the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 with the first sealing element 3 and the second sealing element 4 after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered and raised respectively, rainwater and other substances can be effectively prevented from entering the interior space of the vehicle body through the gap between the two, thereby avoiding inconvenience to users and improving user satisfaction.

[0048] Both the first sealing element 3 and the second sealing element 4 can be made of rubber material to utilize the good elasticity and plasticity of rubber material to ensure the sealing effect.

[0049] According to the vehicle roof structure 100 of this utility model embodiment, the lifting compartment 2 can be installed by setting the roof shell 1, and the lifting compartment 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the roof shell 1, so that the vehicle can adapt to the height of most underground parking lots, and it is also convenient for users to walk upright in the interior space of the vehicle body. In addition, by setting the first sealing member 3 and the second sealing member 4, the lifting compartment 2 and the roof shell 1 can be sealed together after the lifting compartment 2 is lowered and raised, respectively, so as to effectively prevent rainwater and other substances from entering the interior space of the vehicle body from the gap between the two, which helps to improve user satisfaction.

[0050] In some embodiments, the lifting chamber 2 is provided with a first boss 22 and a second boss 23, and the roof shell 1 is provided with a mating boss 12. After the lifting chamber 2 is lowered, the first sealing member 3 is sandwiched between the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12, and after the lifting chamber 2 is raised, the second sealing member 4 is sandwiched between the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12.

[0051] Specifically, the first sealing member 3 is used to seal the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 descends. The lifting chamber 2 is provided with a first boss 22, and the roof shell 1 is provided with a mating boss 12. After the lifting chamber 2 descends, the first sealing member 3 is sandwiched between the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12. The first boss 22 and the mating boss 12 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. By placing the first sealing member 3 between the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12, the first boss 22 can move closer to the mating boss 12 when the lifting chamber 2 descends, and together with the mating boss 12, they can clamp the first sealing member 3, so that the first sealing member 3 can seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1.

[0052] Meanwhile, the second sealing element 4 is used to seal the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 is raised. The lifting chamber 2 is provided with a second boss 23, and the roof shell 1 is provided with a mating boss 12. After the lifting chamber 2 is raised, the second sealing element 4 is sandwiched between the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12. The second boss 23 and the mating boss 12 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. By placing the second sealing element 4 between the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12, the second boss 23 can move closer to the mating boss 12 when the lifting chamber 2 is raised, and can clamp the second sealing element 4 together with the mating boss 12, so that the second sealing element 4 can seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first boss 22 and the second boss 23 are distributed at intervals along the vertical direction on the outer peripheral wall of the lifting chamber 2, and the mating boss 12 is provided on the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11, and the mating boss 12 is located between the first boss 22 and the second boss 23.

[0054] Specifically, the first boss 22 and the second boss 23 can respectively mate with the mating boss 12 to clamp the first sealing element 3 or the second sealing element 4 after the lifting chamber 2 descends or rises. The first boss 22 and the second boss 23 are distributed at intervals along the vertical direction on the outer peripheral wall of the lifting chamber 2, so that the first boss 22 and the second boss 23 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, so that there is a certain distance between them, thereby avoiding interference between them and preventing the first boss 22 or the second boss 23 from failing to mate with the mating boss 12. The mating boss 12 is located on the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11. This allows the first boss 22 and the second boss 23 to extend from the outer peripheral wall of the lifting chamber 2 toward the mating boss 12. The mating boss 12 extends from the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11 toward the first boss 22 and the second boss 23, so that the first boss 22, the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12 can all have a certain length. This allows the mating boss 12 to reliably engage with the first boss 22 and the second boss 23 respectively after the lifting chamber 2 descends or rises.

[0055] Furthermore, by placing the mating boss 12 between the first boss 22 and the second boss 23, the upper and lower surfaces of the mating boss 12 can be directly opposite the first boss 22 and the second boss 23, respectively. This facilitates the mating boss 12 to mate with the first boss 22 and the second boss 23, and reduces the number of mating bosses 12 required, thus lowering the processing difficulty.

[0056] It should be noted that, for example Figure 1 and Figure 10 As shown, the first boss 22 is located above the second boss 23, so that the first boss 22 can cooperate with the upper surface of the mating boss 12 to clamp the first seal 3 after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered, and the second boss 23 can cooperate with the lower surface of the mating boss 12 to clamp the second seal 4 after the lifting chamber 2 is raised.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first seal 3 is fixed to one of the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12, and is adapted to press against the other of the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12; and / or, the second seal 4 is fixed to one of the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12, and is adapted to press against the other of the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12.

[0058] Specifically, after the lifting chamber 2 descends, the first sealing element 3 is sandwiched between the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12. That is, the first sealing element 3 is located between the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12. The first sealing element 3 can be fixed to one of the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12, that is, the first sealing element 3 can be fixed to the first boss 22 or the mating boss 12 to achieve the fixation of the first sealing element 3 and improve the reliability of the operation of the first sealing element 3. When the first sealing element 3 is fixed to the first boss 22, the first sealing element 3 can descend with the first boss 22 when the lifting chamber 2 descends. Then, after the lifting chamber 2 descends, it can press against the mating boss 12 to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1. When the first sealing element 3 is fixed to the mating boss 12, the first sealing element 3 can press against the first boss 22 after the first boss 22 descends to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1.

[0059] In other words, whether the first seal 3 is fixed to the first boss 22 or cooperates with the boss 12, the first seal 3 can seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered, which can improve the flexibility of the setup.

[0060] Furthermore, after the lifting chamber 2 is raised, the second seal 4 is sandwiched between the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12. That is, the second seal 4 is located between the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12, and the second seal 4 can be fixed to one of the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12. This fixes the second seal 4 to either the second boss 23 or the mating boss 12, thereby improving the reliability of the second seal 4's operation. When the second seal 4 is fixed to the second boss 23, it can rise together with the second boss 23 when the lifting chamber 2 is raised, and then press against the mating boss 12 after the lifting chamber 2 is raised to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1. When the second seal 4 is fixed to the mating boss 12, it can press against the second boss 23 after the second boss 23 is raised to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1.

[0061] In other words, whether the second seal 4 is fixed to the second boss 23 or cooperates with the boss 12, the second seal 4 can seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 is raised, which can improve the flexibility of the setup.

[0062] It should be noted that the first sealing element 3 and the second sealing element 4 can be fixed by adhesive bonding, which is a simple, reliable and easy-to-operate connection method.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first seal 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the mating boss 12; and / or, the second seal 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the second boss 23.

[0064] Specifically, the first sealing element 3 is disposed between the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12, and is used to clamp between the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12 after the lifting chamber 2 descends, so as to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1. By fixing the first sealing element 3 to the upper surface of the mating boss 12, the first sealing element 3 can be fixed to the lower one of the first boss 22 and the mating boss 12, which can ensure that the first sealing element 3 will not be displaced or fall off due to vibration, impact or pressure change during use, thereby improving the reliability of the first sealing element 3.

[0065] Furthermore, the second seal 4 is disposed between the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12, and is used to clamp between the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12 after the lifting chamber 2 is raised, so as to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1. By fixing the second seal 4 to the upper surface of the second boss 23, the second seal 4 can be fixed to the lower one of the second boss 23 and the mating boss 12, which can ensure that the second seal 4 will not be displaced or fall off due to vibration, impact or pressure change during use, thereby improving the reliability of the second seal 4.

[0066] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first boss 22 or the thickness of the second boss 23 is less than the thickness of the mating boss 12.

[0067] Specifically, the first boss 22 and the second boss 23 can engage with the mating boss 12 after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered and raised, respectively. That is, after the lifting chamber 2 is lowered or raised, the first boss 22 or the second boss 23 will squeeze the mating boss 12. After the lifting chamber 2 is lowered, the mating boss 12 can be used to bear part of the weight of the lifting chamber 2. The thickness of the first boss 22 or the second boss 23 can be made smaller than the thickness of the mating boss 12. The thickness of the mating boss 12 can be made larger than the thickness of the first boss 22 or the second boss 23. This makes the thickness of the mating boss 12 large enough to improve the structural strength of the mating boss 12 and prevent the mating boss 12 from breaking and failing during long-term use, thus extending the service life of the mating boss 12.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first seal 3 and / or the second seal 4 are configured as sealing rings, which are distributed around the lifting chamber 2.

[0069] Specifically, the first sealing element 3 is used to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 descends. The first sealing element 3 can be constructed as a sealing ring, and the sealing ring is distributed around the lifting chamber 2. That is, the sealing ring is constructed to extend along the circumference of the lifting chamber 2, so that the first sealing element 3 can seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 at any position in the circumference of the lifting chamber 2, which can effectively improve the reliability of the first sealing element 3 in sealing the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1.

[0070] Furthermore, the second seal 4 is used to seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 after the lifting chamber 2 is raised. The second seal 4 can be constructed as a sealing ring, and the sealing ring is distributed around the lifting chamber 2. The sealing ring can be constructed to extend along the circumference of the lifting chamber 2, so that the second seal 4 can seal the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 at any position in the circumference of the lifting chamber 2. This can effectively improve the reliability of the second seal 4 in sealing the gap between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1.

[0071] In some embodiments, one of the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 is provided with a slider 24 and the other is provided with a slide rail 13, and the slider 24 and the slide rail 13 are slidably engaged.

[0072] Specifically, the lifting chamber 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the roof shell 1. A slider 24 can be provided on one of the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1, and a slide rail 13 can be provided on the other. That is, the slider 24 can be provided on the lifting chamber 2 and the slide rail 13 can be provided on the roof shell 1, or the slide rail 13 can be provided on the lifting chamber 2 and the slider 24 can be provided on the roof shell 1. The lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 can be slidably engaged by the slider 24 and the slide rail 13. The slide rail 13 is used to guide the movement of the slider 24. The slide rail 13 can be constructed to extend in the vertical direction so that the lifting chamber 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the roof shell 1 by the sliding of the slider 24 relative to the slide rail 13. Moreover, the sliding engagement method has a low coefficient of friction, which helps to extend the service life of the slider 24 and the slide rail 13.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 10 As shown, a slider 24 is provided on the lifting chamber 2. The slider 24 can be fixed to the lifting chamber 2 by setting a slider fixing seat 25 on the lifting chamber 2. At the same time, a slide rail 13 is provided on the roof shell 1. The slide rail 13 can be fixed to the roof shell 1 by setting a slide rail embedding groove 14 on the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11. Thus, the slider 24 and the slide rail 13 can be reliably installed, and the slider 24 and the slide rail 13 can slide together so that the lifting chamber 2 can be raised and lowered relative to the roof shell 1 with the cooperation of the slider 24 and the slide rail 13.

[0074] Specifically, the slide rail 13 is embedded into the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11 through the slide rail embedding groove 14, so that the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11 can be kept flat and clean. Furthermore, there are four sliders 24 and four slide rails 13. The four sliders 24 and four slide rails 13 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the lifting chamber 2, and the four sliders 24 and four slide rails 13 are matched one-to-one. Thus, the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 can be matched at four positions in the circumference of the lifting chamber 2 through the corresponding matching of the four sliders 24 and four slide rails 13, which can improve the reliability and stability of the lifting chamber 2 relative to the roof shell 1.

[0075] It should also be noted that in actual design, the slider 24 can be placed on the roof shell 1 and the slide rail 13 can be placed on the lifting chamber 2, which can also realize the lifting of the lifting chamber 2 relative to the roof shell 1. The number of sliders 24 and slide rails 13 is not limited to that described in this embodiment, and can be flexibly set according to specific needs and space size.

[0076] In some embodiments, one of the roof shell 1 and the lifting chamber 2 is provided with a drive member 26, the output end of the drive member 26 is provided with a drive gear 28, and the other of the roof shell 1 and the lifting chamber 2 is provided with a driven rack 15, the drive gear 28 meshing with the driven rack 15.

[0077] Specifically, the drive component 26 provides driving force to the connected components to drive their movement. The drive component 26 can be installed in either the roof shell 1 or the lifting chamber 2, thus fixing the drive component 26 to either the roof shell 1 or the lifting chamber 2 to achieve installation and fixation. A drive gear 28 is provided at the output end of the drive component 26, which can be sleeved on the output shaft of the drive component 26 so that the drive component 26 can drive the drive gear 28 to rotate. At the same time, a driven rack 15 is provided in the other of the roof shell 1 and the lifting chamber 2. When the drive component 26 is fixed to the roof shell 1, a driven rack 15 is provided on the lifting chamber 2, and when the drive component 26 is fixed to the lifting chamber 2, a driven rack 15 is provided on the roof shell 1. The drive gear 28 meshes with the driven rack 15, so that the engagement between the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 can be achieved through the engagement between the drive gear 28 and the driven rack 15.

[0078] Meanwhile, the driven rack 15 can be configured to extend in the vertical direction, so that the drive gear 28 can move up and down along the driven rack 15 under the action of the drive member 26, thereby enabling the lifting chamber 2 to rise and fall relative to the roof shell 1. The gear and rack transmission method is simple, reliable and has good stability. The drive member 26 can be a drive motor.

[0079] For example, such as Figures 10-11As shown, a drive component 26 is provided on the lifting chamber 2. The drive component 26 can be fixed to the lifting chamber 2 by setting a drive component fixing seat 27 on the lifting chamber 2. At the same time, a driven rack 15 is provided on the roof shell 1. The driven rack 15 can be fixed to the roof shell 1 by setting a rack embedding groove 16 on the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11. Thus, the drive component 26 and the driven rack 15 can be reliably installed. A drive gear 28 is connected to the output end of the drive component 26. The drive gear 28 meshes with the driven rack 15, so that the drive gear 28 can roll along the driven rack 15 under the action of the drive component 26, so as to realize the lifting of the lifting chamber 2 relative to the roof shell 1.

[0080] Specifically, the driven rack 15 is embedded into the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11 through the rack embedding groove 16, so that the inner peripheral wall of the lifting space 11 can be kept flat and clean. Furthermore, there are four driving components 26 and four driven racks 15, that is, there are also four driving gears 28. The four driving gears 28 and the four driven racks 15 are distributed circumferentially along the lifting chamber 2, and the four driving gears 28 and the four driven racks 15 are matched one-to-one. Thus, the lifting chamber 2 and the roof shell 1 can be matched simultaneously at four positions in the circumference of the lifting chamber 2 through the corresponding matching of the four driving gears 28 and the four driven racks 15, which can improve the reliability and stability of the lifting chamber 2 relative to the roof shell 1.

[0081] Furthermore, it should be noted that in actual design, the driving component 26 can also be located on the roof shell 1, and the driven rack 15 can be located on the lifting chamber 2. The lifting chamber 2 can also be raised and lowered relative to the roof shell 1. Moreover, the number of driving components 26, driving gears 28 and driven racks 15 is not limited to that described in this embodiment, and can be flexibly set according to specific needs and space size.

[0082] And, such as Figures 1-4 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, a storage cabinet 29 is provided within the accommodating space 21. The storage cabinet 29 has a certain amount of space, providing a certain accommodating space 21 for users to store their belongings. The storage cabinet 29 is fixed relative to the lifting platform 2, so that the storage cabinet 29 can be fixed within the accommodating space 21. When the lifting platform 2 is raised, it can drive the storage cabinet 29 to rise together, thereby improving the utilization rate of space. The storage cabinet 29 can also be constructed as furniture for other purposes. At the same time, a decorative baffle 30 is provided at the bottom of the storage cabinet 29. The decorative baffle 30 can serve as the base plate of the storage cabinet 29, supporting the items inside the storage cabinet 29. The decorative baffle 30 can also be extended to the outer side of the outer peripheral wall of the lifting platform 2, so that the decorative baffle 30 can also cover the drive component 26, drive gear 28, etc., to prevent them from being exposed to the interior space of the vehicle body.
