Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive roof technology, and in particular to an automotive roof. Background Technology
[0002] A car roof is a decorative covering installed inside the vehicle's roof, serving to protect the roof, provide sound insulation, heat insulation, and enhance the interior environment. The technology behind car roofs involves multiple fields, including materials science, manufacturing processes, structural design, and functional integration, and its development is profoundly influenced by trends such as lightweighting, environmental friendliness, and intelligentization in the automotive industry. Currently, car roofs themselves lack reinforced structures; for safety reasons, their structural strength needs further improvement. Furthermore, the assembly of the car roof with the sunroof frame lacks a supportive and snug fit, resulting in a loose installation structure that can easily lead to rattling or creaking noises after prolonged use.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0029] It should be understood that in the description of this application, the terms "upper," "lower," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. These terms are used solely for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. That is, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0030] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0031] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the car roof of this utility model embodiment includes a panel 1, bosses 2, a first rib 3, and a second rib 4. The panel 1 has an opening 11, which allows light from the car sunroof to pass through. Multiple bosses 2 are integrally formed on the upper surface of the panel 1, and are circumferentially distributed around the outer periphery of the opening 11. The first rib 3 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the panel 1, surrounding the outer periphery of the opening 11. The second rib 4 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the panel 1, and intersects with the first rib 3.
[0032] Based on the above structural configuration, multiple bosses 2 are integrally formed on the upper surface of panel 1. The multiple bosses 2 are circumferentially distributed around the outer periphery of opening 11. When panel 1 is installed, the bosses 2 can fit against the sunroof frame to achieve compact installation and avoid abnormal noise. The first rib 3 is integrally formed on the upper surface of panel 1 and surrounds the outer periphery of opening 11. The second rib 4 is integrally formed on the upper surface of panel 1 and intersects with the first rib 3. The first rib 3 and the second rib 4 enhance the structural strength of panel 1 and make panel 1 less prone to deformation.
[0033] In some embodiments, panel 1 includes an EPP layer, an adhesive layer, and a fabric layer connected sequentially from top to bottom. The fabric layer is a composite of knitted fabric and non-woven fabric, and the EPP layer is made of foamed polypropylene. It should be noted that panel 1, boss 2, first rib 3, and second rib 4 are all made of foamed EPP material.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the opening 11 extends upward to form a first folded edge 12, and the outer edge of the panel 1 bends upward to form a second folded edge 13. Thus, the first folded edge 12 can enhance the structural strength of the outer peripheral wall of the opening 11, and the second folded edge 13 can enhance the structural strength of the outer edge of the panel 1.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the first rib 3 has multiple ribs, with one first rib 3 connected in series with multiple bosses 2. This makes the structure of the multiple bosses 2 more stable and facilitates a compact installation with the sunroof frame.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, multiple second ribs 4 are provided, and all of the multiple second ribs 4 are arranged perpendicular to the first rib 3. In this way, the structural strength of the panel 1 can be further improved.
[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the panel 1 is provided with a sun visor mounting groove 14, and the sun visor mounting groove 14 has a first mounting hole 141. The sun visor mounting groove 14 is used to accommodate the sun visor, and the first mounting hole 141 is used to allow screws to pass through and fix the sun visor to the vehicle body, while also allowing the panel 1 in this part to be fixed to the vehicle body.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, panel 1 is provided with a front reading light mounting slot 15, and the front reading light mounting slot 15 has a second mounting hole 151. The front reading light mounting slot 15 is used to accommodate the front reading light, and the second mounting hole 151 is used to allow screws to pass through and fix the front reading light to the vehicle body, while also allowing panel 1 in this part to be fixed to the vehicle body.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, panel 1 is provided with a rear reading light mounting slot 16, and the rear reading light mounting slot 16 has a third mounting hole 161. The rear reading light mounting slot 16 is used to accommodate the rear reading light, and the third mounting hole 161 is used to allow screws to pass through and fix the rear reading light to the vehicle body, while also allowing panel 1 in this location to be fixed to the vehicle body.
[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, panel 1 is provided with a handle mounting groove 17, and the handle mounting groove 17 has a fourth mounting hole 171. The handle mounting groove 17 is used for mounting the handle, and the fourth mounting hole 171 is used for screws to pass through and fix the handle to the vehicle body, while also allowing panel 1 in this part to be fixed to the vehicle body.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer edges of both sides of the panel 1 have B-pillar clearance grooves 18. In this way, the B-pillar clearance grooves 18 allow the B-pillar of the vehicle body to pass through, which is beneficial for the entire panel 1 to be installed to cover the top of the vehicle body.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
