Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to a sunroof structure and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] A ceiling-mounted screen is a display device installed on the roof inside a vehicle, typically behind the front seats. Most ceiling-mounted screens are designed to be flip-up; when not in use, they can be flipped towards the sunroof to retract, and when in use, they can be flipped away from the sunroof to adjust to the optimal viewing angle. They provide passengers with a wealth of multimedia entertainment and information services and are widely used in various vehicles.

[0003] In existing technologies, installing a ceiling-mounted screen by adding a crossbeam to the roof is a common method. The ceiling-mounted screen is connected to the crossbeam via a bracket, and the structural strength of the crossbeam ensures the stability and safety of the screen. The crossbeam is usually located at a low position on the roof, and the combination of the crossbeam, bracket, and ceiling-mounted screen significantly reduces the interior height, making passengers feel cramped and severely reducing ride comfort.

A portion of the sunshade is also mounted on the mounting components.

[0012] The ceiling-mounted screen assembly also includes a drive motor, which is mounted on the mounting component and connected to the drive mechanism to drive the drive mechanism to rotate in the installation space in a direction away from or towards the skylight.

[0018] In one possible implementation of this application, the second guide rail includes a second connecting portion, which is detachably connected to the first guide rail.

[0019] In one possible implementation of this application, the ceiling-mounted screen assembly further includes a second connector. The first guide rail has a first mounting hole, and the second connecting part has a second mounting hole.

[0038] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0040] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0042] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, the words "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design solutions. Specifically, the use of the words "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0044] This application provides a sunroof structure and a vehicle. It should be noted that this application does not limit the vehicle type. For example, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles.

[0045] The automobile provided in this application embodiment includes a vehicle body frame, which includes a roof and a side panel 400. The side panel 400 is disposed on the side of the roof in the width direction and is connected to the roof.

[0046] For example, the roof includes a pair of parallel roof longitudinal beams and a roof crossbeam connecting the roof longitudinal beams. The roof longitudinal beams extend in the same direction as the length of the vehicle, and the roof crossbeams extend in the same direction as the width of the vehicle.

[0047] Side panel 400 can be welded to the roof longitudinal beams. Side panel 400 is typically a sheet metal part and is an important component of the vehicle body structure. Located on the side of the vehicle, it provides structural support and side protection. In the automotive industry, side panel 400 is often referred to as side panel sheet metal.

[0048] A ceiling-mounted screen 310 is typically installed between the front and rear seats of a car to provide passengers with a wealth of multimedia entertainment and information services. In the prior art, a common method for connecting the ceiling-mounted screen 310 is to add a crossbeam to the roof; that is, the ceiling-mounted screen assembly 300 is mounted on the crossbeam via a mounting bracket. However, the crossbeam is usually located at a low position on the roof, and its presence can somewhat obstruct the sunroof 100, especially the view of rear passengers, potentially making them feel cramped.

[0049] Therefore, how to install the ceiling screen 310 without a beam and avoid visual obstruction caused by adding a beam is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0050] To address the issue of rear passengers feeling cramped due to the beam, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In related technologies, the first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320 are integrally formed and connected to the side panel 400. However, the available mounting points of the side panel 400 are usually lower than the plane of the sunroof 100. The first guide rail 221 needs to be close to the sunroof 100, and the second guide rail 321 needs to be suspended. The two are connected to the side panel 400, which causes the overhead space 110 of the passengers to be squeezed in the car, making the passengers feel oppressed and greatly reducing the comfort of riding.

[0051] In view of this, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides a sunroof structure, which is separately configured with a first guide rail 221 and a second guide rail 320. The first guide rail 221 is connected to the second guide rail 320 and to the sunroof 100, thereby allowing the overall structure of the sunshade assembly 200 and the ceiling screen assembly 300 to be moved upward, increasing the overhead space for passengers 110 and improving passenger comfort. Furthermore, the second guide rail 320 is connected to the side panel 400, which bears the weight of the ceiling screen assembly 300, enabling the ceiling screen 310 to be installed without a crossbeam, ensuring the rigidity and stability of the sunroof structure.

[0052] The skylight structure provided in the embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0053] refer to Figure 4 This application provides a skylight structure including a skylight 100, a sunshade assembly 200, and a ceiling screen assembly 300.

[0054] The sunshade assembly 200 includes a sunshade 210 and a sunshade mounting structure 220. The sunshade mounting structure 220 includes a first guide rail 221. Part of the sunshade 210 is installed in the first guide rail 221 and can move along the length of the first guide rail 221. The first guide rail 221 is connected to the skylight 100.

[0055] For example, in the width direction of the vehicle, the first guide rail 221 is installed at both ends of the sunroof 100, located at the edge of the sunroof 100. The groove opening of the first guide rail 221 faces the interior of the vehicle, and the length direction of the first guide rail 221 is the same as the length direction of the vehicle. The sunshade 210 is inserted into the groove of the first guide rail 221 on both sides of the sunroof 100 at its two side edges in the width direction of the vehicle, and can slide freely along the length direction of the first guide rail 221.

[0056] The sunshade curtain 210 can be manually pulled out or retracted. When the sunshade curtain 210 is fully extended, it can cover the entire skylight 100. When the sunshade curtain 210 is fully retracted, it can expose the entire skylight 100.

[0057] As one possible implementation, the first guide rail 221 can be bonded to the sunroof 100 using a special structural adhesive, such as polyurethane structural adhesive, modified epoxy adhesive, or UV-cured acrylic adhesive. In this embodiment, the type of structural adhesive is not limited, as long as it can make the first guide rail 221 and the sunroof 100 bond tightly.

[0058] As another possible implementation, the first guide rail 221 can also be connected to the sunroof 100 via a snap-on concealed bracket. For example, during the production of the sunroof 100, a slot is embedded in the interlayer, and the first guide rail 221 has a snap-on bracket that can be pressed and secured with the slot. In this embodiment, the connection method between the first guide rail 221 and the sunroof 100 is not limited, as long as the connection between the first guide rail 221 and the sunroof 100 is possible.

[0059] The ceiling-mounted screen assembly 300 includes a ceiling-mounted screen 310 and a second guide rail 320. A portion of the ceiling-mounted screen 310 is installed within the second guide rail 320. The ceiling-mounted screen 310 can rotate relative to the second guide rail 320 in a direction away from or closer to the sunroof 100. The second guide rail 320 is connected to the first guide rail 221 and is also connected to the side panel 400 of the vehicle.

[0060] The second guide rail 320 extends in the same direction as the first guide rail 221. In the width direction of the vehicle, the end of the ceiling-mounted screen 310 near the roof is connected to the second guide rail 320. The ceiling-mounted screen 310 is flipped relative to the second guide rail 320 in a direction away from or closer to the sunroof 100, so that the screen of the ceiling-mounted screen 310 faces the passenger and is located in a suitable viewing position.

[0061] In this embodiment, the first guide rail 221 is connected to the second guide rail 320, the first guide rail 221 is connected to the sunroof 100, and the second guide rail 320 is connected to the side panel 400. The weight of the second guide rail 320, i.e. the weight of the ceiling screen 310, is borne by the side panel 400, which realizes the installation of the ceiling screen 310 without the need for a crossbeam, and solves the problem of the crossbeam obstructing the passenger's view and causing a sense of oppression.

[0062] In addition, the side panel 400 is usually made of high-strength materials (such as sheet metal), which can effectively support the weight of the ceiling screen 310 and reduce the burden on the first guide rail 221. Furthermore, the weight of the ceiling screen 310 is directly transferred to the car side panel 400, which can reduce the vibration and shaking of the ceiling screen 310 during car operation and improve the viewing experience.

[0063] Meanwhile, by connecting the first guide rail 221 to the second guide rail 320, and connecting the first guide rail 221 to the sunroof 100, the first guide rail 221 is locked onto the sunroof 100. In the height direction of the car, the position of the first guide rail 221 relative to the sunroof 100 is moved upward, so that the overall position of the first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320 is moved upward. This solves the technical problem that the connection between the sunshade assembly 200 and the ceiling screen assembly 300 and the side panel 400 causes the overhead space 110 of the passengers to be compressed, thus creating a feeling of oppression.

[0064] For example, before shipping, the manufacturer first detachably pre-connects the first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320, and then connects the first guide rail 221 to the sunroof 100.

[0065] The sunroof 100, the first guide rail 221 connected to the sunroof 100, and the second guide rail 320 connected to the first guide rail 221 are transported to the OEM.

[0066] The roof crossbeam and roof longitudinal beam are connected to form an opening, which serves as the installation position for the sunroof 100. Furthermore, the second guide rail 320, maintaining a pre-connected state, uses this pre-connection as a positioning reference to connect with the vehicle side panel 400, which then bears the weight of the ceiling-mounted screen assembly 300.

[0067] After the side plate 400 is connected, the second guide rail 320 can be selectively disconnected from the first guide rail 221 and supported only by the side plate 400. However, a better solution is to keep the first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320 connected to enhance the overall structural stability.

[0068] The detachable pre-connection of the first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320 simplifies the assembly process, improves assembly accuracy, provides a reliable positioning reference for the connection between the second guide rail 320 and the side plate 400, and the detachable connection improves the flexibility of the entire structure.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the ceiling-mounted screen assembly 300 further includes a drive mechanism. The second guide rail 320 has an installation space, and the drive mechanism is located within the installation space and connected to the ceiling-mounted screen 310. The drive mechanism can drive the ceiling-mounted screen 310 to rotate. The structure of the drive mechanism can be determined based on the structure of existing ceiling-mounted screen assemblies in automobiles, and is not further limited in this application.

[0070] Specifically, when the drive mechanism flips towards the sunroof 100, the drive mechanism also causes the ceiling-mounted screen 310 to flip towards the sunroof 100 at the same time. When the drive mechanism flips away from the sunroof 100, the drive mechanism also causes the ceiling-mounted screen 310 to flip away from the sunroof 100 at the same time.

[0071] By installing the drive mechanism in the mounting space of the second guide rail 320, the space inside the vehicle can be effectively utilized, avoiding additional encroachment on the interior space, making the interior space more spacious and improving the aesthetics of the interior space.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 5 The sunshade installation structure 220 also includes mounting members 222. The mounting members 222 are located on both sides of the first guide rail 221 in the length direction, forming a ring structure with the first guide rail 221, and the sunshade 210 is partially located on the mounting members 222.

[0073] For example, the mounting member 222 is typically made of high-strength engineering plastic or lightweight metal, and the extension direction of the mounting member 222 is the width direction of the vehicle. The first guide rail 221 is provided with mounting members 222 on both sides in the length direction.

[0074] Specifically, the mounting component 222 is connected to the first guide rails 221 on both sides at both ends in the width direction of the vehicle, forming a ring structure. The mounting component 222 has a receiving cavity, and the sunshade 210 is partially located on the mounting component 222. When the sunshade 210 is in the retracted state, the retracted sunshade 210 is stored in the mounting component 222.

[0075] The ceiling-mounted screen assembly 300 includes a drive motor. The drive motor is mounted on the mounting piece 222 and is connected to the drive mechanism to drive the drive mechanism to rotate in the installation space in a direction away from or towards the skylight 100.

[0076] For example, the ceiling screen assembly 300 includes two second guide rails 320. Along the width direction of the vehicle, the two second guide rails 320 can be distributed at both ends of the ceiling screen 310 near the roof, so that the two ends of the ceiling screen 310 near the roof can be connected to the corresponding side panel 400 through one second guide rail 320, thereby enhancing the stability of the ceiling screen 310 installed in the vehicle.

[0077] The ceiling-mounted screen assembly 300 includes two drive mechanisms, which are respectively installed in the installation space of two second guide rails 320.

[0078] The drive motor is housed within one of the mounting components 222. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a drive mechanism, the other end of which is connected to the ceiling-mounted screen 310. The other end of the ceiling-mounted screen 310 is connected to another drive mechanism, which serves to fix the ceiling-mounted screen 310 and assist in its rotation.

[0079] When the drive motor starts, the drive mechanism drives the ceiling screen 310 from its retracted position near the skylight 100 to flip down in the direction away from the skylight 100 until it reaches the preset viewing angle. When it is time to retract the ceiling screen 310, the drive motor reverses, and the drive mechanism reverses its movement, causing the ceiling screen 310 to flip up in the direction near the skylight 100, returning to its initial retracted position.

[0080] In addition, each of the two mounting components 222 can be equipped with a drive motor, and the two drive motors are respectively connected to two drive mechanisms. Both drive mechanisms can drive the ceiling screen 310 to rotate, further improving the rotation efficiency of the ceiling screen 310.

[0081] In some embodiments of this application, the sunshade assembly 200 further includes a rotating member, with the sunshade 210 partially connected to the rotating member. The rotating member is movably mounted on the mounting member 222. When the rotating member rotates relative to the mounting member 222, it can drive the sunshade 210 to move along the first guide rail 221, and roll the sunshade 210 onto the rotating member, or release the rolled-up sunshade 210.

[0082] For example, the rotating component can be a roller, which is a long shaft extending in the width direction of the vehicle. Both ends of the roller are connected to the mounting member 222, and the roller can rotate relative to the mounting member 222. In the length direction of the vehicle, the end of the sunshade 210 near the roller is connected to the roller, and the sunshade 210 can be rolled up on the roller and stored in the mounting member 222.

[0083] When the sunshade curtain 210 is unfolded, it is pulled out from the roller and moves along the first guide rail 221 as the roller rotates, covering the skylight 100; when it is retracted, the roller reverses and the sunshade curtain 210 moves along the first guide rail 221 and rolls back onto the roller, revealing the skylight 100.

[0084] The roller can be manually driven, and the sunshade curtain 210 can be manually pulled out or retracted; the roller can also be electrically driven, with the drive motor of the sunshade curtain 210 connected to the end of the roller to drive the roller to rotate, and the motor housing of the drive motor of the sunshade curtain 210 is installed in the mounting part 222.

[0085] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 4 The sunshade assembly 200 also includes a bracket 230, and the first guide rail 221 is connected to the skylight 100 through the bracket 230.

[0086] For example, each first guide rail 221 may have a bracket 230 installed at its midpoint along its length for connecting the first guide rail 221 to the sunroof 100. Alternatively, each first guide rail 221 may have brackets 230 installed at both ends along its length for connecting the first guide rail 221 to the sunroof 100, resulting in a more stable connection. The embodiments of this application do not limit the number of brackets 230, as long as they are sufficient to connect the first guide rail 221 to the sunroof 100.

[0087] When the sunshade assembly 200 needs maintenance or replacement, it can be done by disassembling the connection point between the bracket 230 and the first guide rail 221, without touching the sunroof 100 glass, greatly reducing the difficulty and risk of maintenance. Furthermore, using the bracket 230 to connect the first guide rail 221 distributes the weight of the first guide rail 221 to multiple connection points, reducing the burden on the sunroof 100 glass and improving the reliability of the sunroof 100 structure.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first guide rail 221 includes a first connecting part 2211, and a bracket 230 is disposed on the side of the first connecting part 2211 facing the skylight 100. The bracket 230 is connected to the skylight 100, and the bracket 230 is connected to the first connecting part 2211.

[0089] In one possible implementation, the first connecting part 2211 can be a connecting plate located on the side opposite to the groove of the first guide rail 221. The bracket 230 is located on the side of the connecting plate facing the sunroof 100. One end of the bracket 230 is connected to the connecting plate, and the other end is connected to the sunroof 100. The bracket 230 can be connected to the sunroof 100 by adhesive bonding. The end of the bracket 230 connected to the sunroof 100 can be designed as a large and flat adhesive surface to provide sufficient adhesive area to distribute the stress.

[0090] As another possible implementation, during the production of the sunroof 100, mounting holes are pre-installed on the sunroof 100, and the bracket 230 can be connected to the sunroof 100 by means of bolting or riveting.

[0091] The first connecting part 2211 provides precise positioning and guidance for the connection between the first guide rail 221 and the bracket 230, ensuring that the first guide rail 221 can be quickly and accurately connected to the bracket 230 each time it is installed, and can disperse local stress to prevent the first guide rail 221 from deforming due to stress concentration.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, the sunshade assembly 200 further includes a first connector, a bracket 230 having a first connection hole, a first connection portion 2211 having a second connection hole, the first connector passing through the second connection hole and screwed into the first connection hole.

[0093] For example, the first connector may be a bolt, which passes through a first connecting hole on the bracket 230 and a second connecting hole on the first connecting part 2211. The bolt is tightened in the first connecting hole to connect the first guide rail 221 and the bracket 230, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the first guide rail 221 and the bracket 230.

[0094] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 7 The second guide rail 320 includes a second connecting part 321, which is detachably connected to the first guide rail 221.

[0095] In one possible implementation, the second connecting part 321 is located on the side opposite to the groove of the second guide rail 320. The second connecting part 321 and the first connecting part 2211 are parallel and aligned. The second connecting part 321 and the first connecting part 2211 can be connected together by a clamp.

[0096] As another possible implementation, the second connecting portion 321 can also be detachably connected to the first guide rail 221 via an intermediate connecting member. (See reference...) Figure 7 The intermediate connecting member can be an arc-shaped connecting member. One end of the arc-shaped connecting member is connected to the first connecting part 2211 through a second connecting member, and the other end is connected to the second connecting part 321 through another second connecting member.

[0097] Specifically, the first guide rail 221 has a first mounting hole 2212, the second connecting part 321 has a second mounting hole 3211, and the bow-shaped connector has a third mounting hole and a fourth mounting hole at each end. The third mounting hole corresponds to the first mounting hole 2212, and the fourth mounting hole corresponds to the second mounting hole 3211. The second connector connects the third mounting hole and the first mounting hole 2212, and similarly, another second connector connects the fourth mounting hole and the second mounting hole 3211, so that the first mounting part and the second mounting part are connected by the bow-shaped connector.

[0098] For example, the second connector may be a bolt and fastened by a nut, such that the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are connected by an arc-shaped connector.

[0099] By using the bow-shaped connector, the first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320 can be seamlessly and securely connected. When under stress, the bow-shaped connector can effectively resist bending deformation and prevent relative displacement between the first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320.

[0100] For example, the second guide rail 320 is connected to the side plate 400, and the connection method can be fastener connection, welding, bonding, or fixing by a clamp. For example, the fastener can be a bolt, screw, etc. Taking fastener connection as an example, the second connecting part 321 can have a mounting hole for connection with the side plate 400. Similarly, the side plate 400 can also have a mounting hole, and the fastener passes through the mounting hole to achieve connection.

[0101] On the other hand, this application also provides a car body frame and a sunroof structure provided in the embodiments of this application. The structures of the car body frame and the sunroof structure have been described above and will not be repeated here.

[0102] For example, the roof includes a pair of parallel roof longitudinal beams and a roof crossbeam connecting the roof longitudinal beams, and the side panel 400 can be connected to the roof longitudinal beams by welding.

[0103] The car also includes a roof 500, which is located below the roof in the height direction of the car and covers the roof inside the car.

[0104] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The opening formed by the roof longitudinal beams and roof cross beams is the installation position. The roof 500 has an opening corresponding to the installation position, through which the sunshade 210 is exposed. The first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320 are located between the roof and the roof 500.

[0105] The sunroof 100 of the sunroof structure is installed in the installation position. The second guide rail 320 in the sunroof structure is connected to the first guide rail 221. The first guide rail 221 is connected to the sunroof 100, so that the overall structure of the first guide rail 221 and the second guide rail 320 moves upward. In addition, the canopy 500 also moves upward, increasing the overhead space 110 for passengers.

[0106] Meanwhile, the second guide rail 320 is connected to the side panel 400, which bears the weight of the ceiling screen assembly 300, ensuring the stability of the entire skylight structure.

[0107] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
