[0032] To address the problems in the background technology, the core inventive concept of this utility model is to provide a sunshade installation groove at the front top for concealing the roller mechanism, thereby achieving concealed installation of the sunshade.
[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.
[0034] Specific embodiments of the front roof provided by this utility model:
[0035] In existing technologies, the front top is generally a light color such as white.
[0036] In reference Figure 3 On the basis of, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, in this utility model, the front top is divided into a dark part 1 and a light part 2 from front to back. The dark part 1 includes a sunshade mounting groove 3 for the roller mechanism 10 for installing the sunshade. The opening of the sunshade mounting groove 3 faces downward, and the groove depth of the sunshade mounting groove 3 is not less than the height of the roller mechanism 10.
[0037] It should be noted that this utility model does not improve the sunshade curtain. The sunshade curtain can be a purchased pull-down support type sunshade curtain, electric sunshade curtain, etc. The roller mechanism 10 is used to provide a roller for the curtain fabric so that the curtain fabric can be wound on the roller as much as possible when sunshade is not needed. It will not be described in detail here.
[0038] The light-colored portion can be a light color such as white; the dark-colored portion can be a dark color such as black or dark blue, to reduce the contrast between the roller mechanism 10 and the dark-colored portion 1. When the roller mechanism 10 is installed in the sunshade mounting groove 3 using a conventional bolt mounting method (the bottom of the sunshade mounting groove 3 has threaded holes, and the bolt passes through the bolt holes on the roller mechanism 10 and is threaded into the threaded holes), the contrast between the dark-colored portion 1 and the bolt is also relatively small. Of course, the roller mechanism 10 can also be fixed in the sunshade mounting groove 3 by means of adhesive bonding or other methods.
[0039] After the roller mechanism 10 of the sunshade is installed in the sunshade mounting groove 3, from one perspective: since the roller mechanism 10 is hidden in the sunshade mounting groove 3, the sunshade can be installed in a concealed manner. At the same time, since the area where the sunshade mounting groove 3 is located is the dark part 1 of the front top, the color difference between the roller mechanism 10 and the dark part 1 is small, which is aesthetically pleasing. From another perspective: under the premise of satisfying aesthetics (ensuring aesthetics through the dark part 1 of the front top), the mechanism used to hide the sunshade is only the sunshade mounting groove 3, which is simple in structure.
[0040] Of course, in other specific embodiments, similar to the prior art, the front top can also be a light color such as white. In this case, the sunshade mounting groove 3 is located on the light-colored front top (equivalent to the light-colored part 2). The sunshade mounting groove 3 can achieve the hidden installation of the sunshade, and the aesthetics are better than the prior art.
[0041] As a preferred embodiment, the opening of the sunshade mounting groove 3 faces downward and forward. In this case, the curtain of the sunshade will gradually tilt forward as it is gradually opened, which can increase the space in the driver's cab.
[0042] Of course, in other specific embodiments, the opening of the sunshade mounting groove 3 can also face directly downwards.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, the front top is integrally molded using a PU (Polyurethane) foaming process. The PU foaming process is an existing and mature process, and will not be described further here.
[0044] The PU foaming process allows for the creation of two colors on a one-piece molded front top (the front top is foamed with different colored skins in one step to achieve a color separation effect), namely the color of the dark part 1 and the color of the light part 2. The process is simple and low-cost, and because the front top is molded in one piece, the structural strength of the front top is high.
[0045] Of course, in other specific embodiments, the front top can also be divided into two parts, front and rear, with the two parts processed into dark and light colors respectively, and then the two parts are welded together.
[0046] Due to the limitations of the PU foaming process, a seam exists at the junction of the dark part 1 and the light part 2, resulting in poor aesthetics. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment, the front top also includes a downward-facing color-separation decorative panel mounting groove. The seam between the dark part 1 and the light part 2 is located at the bottom of the groove, and a color-separation decorative panel 5 is installed inside the groove to cover the seam. The color-separation decorative panel 5 can be carved from ABS (Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrened) board.
[0047] Preferably, the color-separated decorative panel 5 is bonded to the color-separated decorative panel mounting groove, which improves the aesthetics. Alternatively, threaded holes can be machined in the color-separated decorative panel mounting groove, and through holes can be machined in the color-separated decorative panel 5, so that the bolts can pass through the through holes and be threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded holes to achieve the installation of the color-separated decorative panel 5.
[0048] The color of the color-separated decorative panel 5 can be the same as or different from the color of the dark part 1 to increase the richness of the colors.
[0049] Preferably, the color-separated decorative panel 5 is also dark-colored, and the color-separated decorative panel 5 is provided with an air conditioning outlet 51 for connecting with the air conditioning duct. The color difference between the air conditioning outlet 51 and the color-separated decorative panel 5 is small, resulting in better aesthetics.
[0050] Of course, in other specific embodiments, the color-separated decorative panel 5 is light-colored. In this case, when the air conditioner vent 51 is located on the color-separated decorative panel 5, the aesthetics are poor, but it does not affect normal use.
[0051] Of course, in other specific implementations, the color-separated decorative panel 5 may not be arranged, and the poor aesthetics will not affect the normal use of the front top.
[0052] To further enhance the aesthetics of the front roof, as a specific implementation, a mounting hole 4 for installing a central interior mirror is provided on the lower end face of the dark-colored portion 1. The sunshade mounting groove 3 is located above the central interior mirror; specifically, the mounting hole 4 is located between the color-blocking decorative panel mounting groove and the sunshade mounting groove 3. The central interior mirror is existing technology, specifically the interior mirror located on the front roof and in the middle of the vehicle in a bus. If necessary, the mounting hole 4 can be a threaded hole, and the central interior mirror is bolted to the front roof (the bolt passes through the corresponding through hole on the central interior mirror and is threaded into the mounting hole 4). Because the mounting hole 4 is located on the dark-colored portion 1, the color difference between the bolt, the lower part of the central interior mirror, and the dark-colored portion 1 is minimal, resulting in a better aesthetic appearance.
[0053] Of course, in other specific embodiments, the mounting hole 4 can also be located on the light-colored part 2. It should be noted that the position of the mounting hole 4 relative to the front top has not changed, and the front-to-back length of the dark-colored part 1 is shorter. In this case, the aesthetics are worse, but it does not affect normal use.
[0054] Those skilled in the art will recognize that, in the prior art, it is often necessary to install an electronic clock on the front roof of vehicles such as buses to display the time. The electronic clock is generally dark-colored and can be installed on the front roof by means of adhesive or bolt connection.
[0055] In one specific embodiment, the electronic clock is directly mounted on the light-colored portion 2. The color difference between the electronic clock and the light-colored portion 2 is significant, resulting in poor aesthetics. When bolts are used for connection, the color difference between the bolts and the light-colored portion 2 is also significant, resulting in poor aesthetics.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the light-colored portion 2 includes a dark decorative panel mounting groove with the opening facing downwards. A dark decorative panel 6 is installed within the dark decorative panel mounting groove, and the dark decorative panel 6 has a mounting surface for mounting an electronic clock. The mounting surface for the electronic clock is provided on the dark decorative panel 6, allowing the user to choose whether to install an electronic clock according to their actual needs.
[0057] When needed, the electronic clock can be glued to the mounting surface, or the mounting surface has a mounting interface, which can be a threaded hole, allowing the electronic clock to be mounted on the mounting surface using bolts. Of course, other conventional mounting interfaces can also be used. In this case, the color difference between the dark decorative panel 6 and the electronic clock (or the electronic clock and the bolts) is minimal, resulting in a better aesthetic appearance.
[0058] Of course, depending on actual needs, the electronic clock may not be installed on the dark decorative panel 6. In this case, the dark decorative panel 6 serves to enrich the color and enhance the aesthetics.
[0059] The color of the dark decorative panel 6 can be the same as or different from the color of the dark part 1 to increase the color richness.
[0060] In the above specific embodiment, no ambient light 9 for illuminating the interior ceiling is provided on the front roof.
[0061] To further enhance aesthetics, as one specific implementation, the front roof includes a front roof body and a ceiling component connected to the rear end of the front roof body. The ceiling component is installed above the front roof body and has a set distance from the rear edge of the front roof body to form a ceiling effect. The ceiling component and the front roof body behind the ceiling component are used to form a ceiling edge. An ambient light mounting slope is provided on the corresponding part of the front roof body and the ceiling edge to direct the ambient light 9 toward the middle position of the vehicle roof.
[0062] The ceiling assembly includes a vertical plate 71 and a mounting plate 72. The mounting plate 72 is connected to the front roof body by bolts. Specifically, the front roof body has threaded holes, and the bolts pass through these holes and are threaded into the corresponding threaded holes to securely connect the mounting plate 72 to the front roof body. The front roof body has a groove, one wall of which is an inclined groove wall. The ambient light 9 is adhered to the inclined groove wall and faces the center of the roof to enhance the aesthetics of the ambient light 9 when it is turned on. The surface of the inclined groove wall forms an inclined surface for mounting the ambient light.
[0063] When the ceiling fixtures are applied to the interior of a vehicle, the ambient lights on the roof (including the ambient lights 9 on the inclined surface of the ambient light installation) can be turned on to achieve a ring-shaped ambient light effect around the roof (similar to the ring-shaped ambient effect of a ceiling in a family living room), enhancing the overall aesthetics.
[0064] If necessary, a front roof trim piece 8 can also be pressed and installed on the front roof. The shape of the front roof trim piece 8 changes with the shape of the front roof. The front roof trim piece 8 can be sculpted from PC (polycarbonate) board to enhance the aesthetics.
[0065] Specific embodiments of the vehicle provided by this utility model:
[0066] Reference Figures 1-3As shown, the vehicle includes a front roof and a sunshade. The front roof is divided into a dark part 1 and a light part 2 from front to back. The dark part 1 includes a sunshade mounting groove 3 with the opening facing downward. The sunshade roller mechanism 10 is installed in the sunshade mounting groove 3.
[0067] Specifically, the front top refers to any one of the specific embodiments of the front top of this utility model, which will not be described in detail here.
[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some technical features, or organically combine different specific implementation methods to create the specific implementation methods shown in the accompanying drawings.
