Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of canopy technology, specifically a vehicle side canopy locking structure for the unfolding and folding of a sliding base. Background Technology
[0002] A car sunroof refers to a sunshade or sunroof on the roof of the vehicle. Side sunroofs generally have opening and closing functions, and to ensure the safety of their use, they usually have a locking structure to prevent them from disengaging during driving or when encountering bumps, which would affect the normal safe use of the sunroof and the safety of driving.
[0003] Existing vehicle side sunroof locking structures generally use springs and buckles for locking. While this is convenient, during the sliding process, the spring-loaded buckles tend to stick to the slide rail or the inner wall of the housing due to the contraction when the limit is released. Furthermore, when the sunroof is pulled out, the buckles constantly rub against the surfaces of the slide rail and the housing, easily causing significant wear on the buckles and the housing. This, in turn, affects the service life of the vehicle side sunroof and the sealing performance when it is closed and locked. In view of this, we propose a vehicle side sunroof locking structure for the unfolding and retraction of the sliding base. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle side canopy locking structure for the unfolding and folding of a sliding base, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vehicle side canopy locking structure for unfolding and storing a sliding base, comprising a housing, a cover plate slidably mounted on the side of the housing, a handle fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the cover plate, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the inner side of the cover plate, the fixing plate being connected to a sleeve through a shaft hole, the sleeve being connected to a base through a shaft hole, the base having multiple shaft holes for mounting several support rods, the base being slidably connected to the housing, locking hooks being provided on the upper and lower sides of the base, a locking module being provided at the end of the housing corresponding to the locking hook position of the base, and an ejection module being provided on the inner wall of the other side of the same end of the housing to facilitate the ejection of the base.
[0006] Preferably, the locking module includes a mounting base, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the end of the housing. A button post is slidably installed on the outer wall of the mounting base through a through hole. A locking post is connected to the middle of the button post, and a return spring is sleeved on the rear side of the locking post. The other end of the return spring abuts against the bottom of the mounting base.
[0007] Preferably, the side of the lock hook is provided with an inclined surface, which corresponds to the position of the lock post. A limiting groove is connected to the rear side of the inclined surface. The opening of the limiting groove is located at the top of the inclined surface, and its depth and shape are adapted to the outer contour of the lock post.
[0008] Preferably, when the base transmits force through the handle and slides to lock on one side of the locking module, the locking pin slides into contact with the inclined surface. Under the action of the thrust, the locking pin slides inward along the vertical direction of the outer surface of the housing. When the locking pin reaches the rear end of the inclined surface, it will move outward under the action of the return spring and get stuck at the bottom of the limiting groove.
[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower inner walls of the mounting base are provided with straight grooves that are adapted to the outer contour of the locking pin, and the locking pin is limited to slide within the straight grooves.
[0010] Preferably, the pop-out module includes a base, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the end of the base away from the mounting seat. The inner wall of the base has a guide groove, and a spring is slidably installed on the inner wall of the base. A push-out spring is fixedly connected between the spring and the inner wall of the base. A guide rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the spring, and the guide rod is disposed in the guide groove.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a vehicle side sunroof locking structure for the unfolding and folding of the sliding base, which has the following advantages:
[0012] 1. The vehicle side sunroof locking structure used for the unfolding and storage of the sliding base, through the fixed setting of the locking pin inside the housing, prevents the base from sliding and rubbing against the inner wall of the housing after unlocking. Furthermore, by setting a pop-out module inside the base, it can pop out a certain distance after unlocking through the spring and return spring, avoiding the problem of still locking after the limit is released and being unable to open the sunroof smoothly. At the same time, because the locking pin is fixed, the end of the housing can maintain good sealing after the sunroof is locked.
[0013] 2. The vehicle side sunroof locking structure used for the unfolding and storage of the sliding base, by placing the handle externally, makes it easier and more convenient for users to use in relatively small spaces, thus improving the ease of use of the device. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a vehicle side canopy locking structure for unfolding and storing a sliding base. A cover plate 200 is slidably installed on the side of the housing 100. A handle 201 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cover plate 200. A fixing plate 205 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cover plate 200. The fixing plate 205 is connected to the sleeve 202 through a shaft hole. The sleeve 202 is connected to the base 203 through a shaft hole. The base 203 has multiple shaft holes for installing several support rods. The base 203 is slidably connected to the housing 100. Locking hooks 204 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the base 203. A locking module 300 is provided at the end of the housing 100 corresponding to the position of the base locking hook 204. An ejection module 400 is provided on the inner wall of the other side of the same end of the housing 100 to facilitate the ejection of the base 203.
[0021] Specifically, the latch module 300 includes a mounting base 304, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the end of the housing 100. A button post 301 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting base 304 through a through hole. A locking post 302 is connected to the middle of the button post 301. A return spring 303 is sleeved on the rear side of the locking post 302. The other end of the return spring 303 abuts against the bottom of the mounting base 304.
[0022] Additionally, the pop-out module 400 includes a base 401, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the end of the base 203 on the side away from the mounting base 304. The inner wall of the base 401 is provided with a guide groove 402, and a spring 403 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the base 401. A push-out spring 404 is fixedly connected between the spring 403 and the inner wall of the base 401. A guide rod 405 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the spring 403, and the guide rod 405 is disposed in the guide groove 402.
[0023] In one embodiment of this utility model, the handle 201 is located on the side away from the center of the housing 100, so that the exposed handle 201 is more convenient for people to use and bear force, thereby making it easier to open and close the car side sunroof. At the same time, the end of the housing 100 and the end of the mounting base 304 are kept flush, and the end of the housing 100 is provided with a sealing strip so that when the sunroof is completely closed, the end of the housing 100 can be well sealed to prevent water or other objects in the external environment from entering the interior of the housing 100 and thus damaging the equipment. Specifically, the interior of the housing 100 is hollow to facilitate the installation of the base 203, the locking module 300 and the pop-out module 400, as well as the installation of the sleeve 202 for connecting with the sunroof. By driving the handle 201, the sleeve 202 can slide inside the housing 100 in conjunction with the cover plate 200.
[0024] In addition, the side of the locking hook 204 is provided with a bevel, which corresponds to the position of the locking pin 302. A limiting groove is connected to the rear side of the bevel. The opening of the limiting groove is at the top of the bevel, and its depth and shape are adapted to the outer contour of the locking pin 302. Furthermore, there are two sets of locking hooks 204, which are mirror images of each other on the upper and lower sides of the end of the base 203. When the base 203 transmits force to the handle 201 and slides to lock to the side of the locking module 300, the locking pin 302 slides into contact with the bevel. Under the action of the thrust, the locking pin 302 slides inward along the vertical direction of the outer surface of the housing 100. When the locking pin 302 reaches the rear end of the bevel, it will move outward under the action of the return spring 303 and be stuck at the bottom of the limiting groove. At the same time, the button pin... The surface of the end of 301 away from the locking pin 302 is flush with the outer wall of the mounting base 304 in the initial state, and the end of the return spring 303 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting base 304. Thus, in the initial state of the return spring 303, the elastic force of the return spring 303 causes the locking pin 302 and the button pin 301 to always tend to move toward the side away from the inner wall of the housing 100. Only when subjected to external force, i.e., manual pressing, the button pin 301 drives the locking pin 302 to move toward the inside of the housing 100, so as to release the limiting effect of the locking pin 302 on the lock hook 204. At the same time, the upper and lower inner walls of the mounting base 304 are provided with straight grooves that are adapted to the outer contour of the locking pin 302, and the locking pin 302 slides in the straight grooves.
[0025] Meanwhile, the inner wall of the base 401 has a cylindrical groove with a diameter that matches the outer diameter of the spring 403, and the spring 403 is disposed in the cylindrical groove. The end of the spring 404 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the end of the cylindrical groove, and the end surface of the base 401 is flush with the outer wall of the end of the base 203. Therefore, when the base 203 is in the locked position (i.e., the canopy is closed), the end of the spring 403 retracts into the cylindrical groove, and the end of the spring 403 remains in close contact with the inner wall of the end of the housing 100. Specifically, through the guidance and restraint of the guide groove 402 and the guide rod 405, the spring 403 will not... Completely disengaging from the cylindrical groove ensures the stability of the device during use. After the locking module 300 is released from its limit, the spring 403 fully retracts and exerts a squeezing force on the push-out spring 404 when the canopy is closed. At this time, under the elastic force of the push-out spring 404, the spring 403, whose end is attached to the inner wall of the end of the housing 100, causes the base 401 to push the base 203 away from the end of the housing 100 and slide a certain distance, thereby causing the locking hook 204 to disengage from the locking post 302. This makes it convenient for the user to push the handle 201 to fully open the canopy, avoiding the problem that the canopy may still be locked after the limit is released and cannot be opened smoothly.
[0026] In this utility model, when opening the vehicle side sunroof, the user first presses the button post 301 to compress the reset spring 303, thereby causing the locking post 302 to disengage from the latch in the locking hook 204. At this time, under the elastic force of the push spring 404, the spring tongue 403 pops out and generates a reverse force on the base 401, so as to drive the base 203 to pop out a distance away from the end of the housing 100. Then, the staff continues to push the handle 201 to cooperate with the sleeve 202 sliding in the housing 100 to fully open the vehicle side sunroof.
[0027] When closing the sunroof, the user holds the handle 201 and pushes it toward the end of the housing 100 to cause the locking hook 204 to abut against the locking pin 302 and eventually drive the locking pin 302 into the slot opened in the locking hook 204. Since the locking process needs to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 303 and the push-out spring 404 at the end of the latch 403, the base 203 will not impact the end of the housing 100 when the sunroof is closed, ensuring the safety of the device.
[0028] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
