[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sunroofs, specifically a pulley structure for opening a sunroof valve plate and a sunroof assembly having the pulley structure. Background Technology

[0002] Skylight systems are widely used in various types of buildings for lighting, ventilation, and regulating the indoor environment.

[0003] In many large buildings (such as industrial plants, commercial centers and public facilities), the opening and closing of skylight valves is one of the important functions of skylight systems.

[0004] Traditional sunroof valve opening methods typically rely on pulley structures. These pulley structures are used to reduce frictional resistance during the opening and closing process of the valve, ensuring smooth operation.

[0005] The existing technology has the following main shortcomings:

[0006] 1. Complex installation:

[0007] Traditional pulley structures typically require complex installation steps, including welding or precision machining.

[0008] These installation methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also lead to inaccurate installation, affecting the operation of the pulley.

[0009] 2. Poor welding quality and high welding difficulty.

[0010] Welding can cause thermal deformation, which can affect the installation accuracy of the pulley.

[0011] At the same time, since skylight systems are generally located on the roof and are quite high, it is not only difficult to weld at high altitudes, but also troublesome to arrange the welding equipment at high altitudes.

[0012] Although the existing patent 201920346181.1 - a thin skylight for fire protection, lighting and smoke exhaust - discloses a pulley structure, the full text does not describe in detail the connection and installation method of the pulley structure on the skylight.

[0013] Therefore, in order to improve or solve at least one of the above technical problems, it is necessary to optimize the design of the existing sunroof assembly. Utility Model Content

[0036] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the description of the preferred embodiments.

[0037] A pulley structure 1-1 for opening a sunroof valve plate includes a mounting plate 1, on which a rotating support mechanism is provided; the rotating support mechanism includes a connector 3 connected to the mounting plate 1, and at least one valve plate pulley 2 is provided on the connector 3; the pulley structure 1-1 disclosed in this utility model can facilitate the opening of the sunroof valve plate 8 and reduce the opening resistance of the sunroof valve plate 8.

[0038] In addition, by using the mounting plate 1 in conjunction with the rotating support mechanism, this utility model can avoid the problems of troublesome or inaccurate installation of traditional pulleys.

[0039] In this utility model, the mounting plate 1 is the basic component of the entire pulley structure 1-1, which plays a supporting and fixing role.

[0040] It also serves as a good bridge, facilitating the installation and fixing of the valve plate pulley 2 on the sunroof side base 7.

[0041] The shape and size of the mounting plate 1 can be designed according to the specific structure of the skylight and the installation space.

[0042] The rotating support mechanism is the core part of the pulley structure 1-1, and it is connected to the mounting plate 1 through the connector 3.

[0043] The function of connector 3 is to connect valve plate pulley 2 to mounting plate 1 and allow pulley to rotate around its axis.

[0044] The valve plate pulley 2 is essentially a bearing structure, and is a component that directly contacts the sunroof valve plate 8. Its function is to reduce the frictional resistance of the valve plate during the opening and closing process by rolling.

[0045] The diameter and number of pulleys can be adjusted according to the size and weight of the sunroof valve plate 8 to ensure sufficient support and smooth movement.

[0046] Furthermore, the rotating support mechanism described in this utility model also includes a limiting unit. The limiting unit is essentially a limiting component set on the connecting member 3 to ensure the stability of the position of the sunroof valve plate 8 and prevent the sunroof valve plate 8 from detaching from the rotating support mechanism.

[0047] The limiting unit in this utility model includes a limiting plate 4 disposed on the connecting member 3. At least one of the limiting plates 4 is located at the end of the connecting member 3 away from the mounting plate 1. The limiting plate 4 can limit the movement range of the pulley, thereby preventing the pulley from deviating from the track due to external force or vibration, thus ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the sunroof valve opening process.

[0048] The presence of the limiting unit can effectively prevent the pulley from falling off due to accidental impact or overload during operation, thereby improving the safety of the entire sunroof system.

[0049] In addition, as an optimization, corresponding protrusions are provided on the valve plate, so that the sunroof valve plate 8 forms an inverted U-shaped structure. The limiting plate 4 can be arranged on the inner wall of the sunroof valve plate 8, thereby preventing the sunroof valve plate 8 from detaching from the rotating support mechanism.

[0050] In actual implementation, the connector 3 is provided with two limiting plates 4, which are distributed at both ends of the connector 3, thereby playing a better lateral limiting and guiding role.

[0051] Furthermore, in this utility model, the connecting member 3 is a fastening bolt; the end of the fastening bolt away from the nut is connected to the mounting plate 1; the fastening bolt is generally connected to the mounting plate 1 by welding. The fastening bolt is chosen for the connecting member 3 in this utility model mainly because it has threads, which can be used in conjunction with the adjusting nut 5 in subsequent use.

[0052] Furthermore, in this utility model, the connecting member 3 is provided with an adjustment unit, which includes an adjustment nut 5 disposed on the connecting member 3; the adjustment nut 5 mainly serves as a lateral limiting function to prevent the valve plate pulley 2 from moving along the axial direction of the connecting member 3.

[0053] The adjusting nut 5 can rotate on the connecting piece 3 and can be suspended at the corresponding position as needed, thereby limiting the axial position of the valve plate pulley 2.

[0054] The adjustment unit described in this utility model includes at least two adjusting nuts 5; each valve plate pulley 2 has at least one adjusting nut 5 at each end; based on this arrangement, the axial position stability of the corresponding valve plate pulley 2 can be ensured by the mutual cooperation of the two adjusting nuts 5.

[0055] Each valve plate pulley 2 has an adjusting nut 5 at both ends, which can achieve precise adjustment of the pulley position.

[0056] The axial position of the pulley can be finely adjusted by tightening or loosening the nut.

[0057] Setting adjusting nuts 5 at both ends of the valve plate pulley 2 can provide better stability and prevent the pulley from axial displacement or shaking during operation.

[0058] This two-way adjustment design can effectively reduce the risk of the pulleys deviating from their predetermined positions due to external forces or vibrations, thereby improving the reliability of the entire sunroof system.

[0059] The design of adjusting nut 5 makes the installation and adjustment of the pulley more intuitive and convenient.

[0060] Installers can make adjustments using simple tools such as wrenches, without the need for complex equipment or operations.

[0061] Each valve plate pulley 2 has at least one adjusting nut 5 at each end. This design provides bidirectional adjustment capability, ensuring that the pulley can be effectively fixed and adjusted at both ends.

[0062] The number of adjusting nuts 5 can be further increased according to actual needs.

[0063] Furthermore, in this utility model, an adjusting shim 6 is provided between the adjusting nut 5 and the valve plate pulley 2; by increasing or decreasing the number or thickness of the shims, the position of the pulley can be precisely adjusted so that it can better adapt to different installation conditions and operating requirements.

[0064] The adjusting shim 6 can act as a buffer and shock absorber, reducing wear on the pulley caused by vibration or impact during operation.

[0065] Especially when the sunroof valve plate is opened and closed, the gasket can absorb some of the impact force and extend the service life of the valve plate pulley 2.

[0066] The adjusting shim 6 can increase the friction between the adjusting nut 5 and the pulley, preventing the nut from loosening due to vibration during operation.

[0067] The adjusting shim 6 can be adjusted according to the actual size of the valve plate pulley 2, which improves the versatility of the structure.

[0068] Furthermore, the adjusting shim 6 in this invention is provided with an assembly notch; the assembly notch facilitates the subsequent installation of the adjusting shim 6 on the connector 3.

[0069] The assembly notch provides a clear guide for the installation of the adjusting shim 6, allowing the shim to be placed quickly and accurately between the adjusting nut 5 and the valve plate pulley 2.

[0070] In actual implementation, whether or not an assembly notch needs to be made on the adjusting shim 6 can be selected as needed.

[0071] Furthermore, in this utility model, the mounting plate includes a longitudinal plate 11 and a transverse plate 12, with the transverse plate 12 being perpendicular to the longitudinal plate 11; the rotating support mechanism is mounted on the longitudinal plate 11; based on this design, the vertical cross-section of the mounting plate is inverted L-shaped. This arrangement allows the mounting plate to be hung on the sunroof side base 7 during installation, providing excellent installation positioning and ensuring the consistency of the installation height of the rotating support mechanism.

[0072] During actual installation, the mounting plate is attached to the upper edge of the sunroof side base 7 via the horizontal plate 12. Subsequently, the mounting plate and the sunroof side base 7 are fixedly connected by the movement of fasteners, usually bolts, screws or rivets.

[0073] In this utility model, the longitudinal plate 11 and / or the transverse plate 12 are connected to the sunroof side base 7 by fasteners; generally, in order to ensure strength, the transverse plate 12 and the longitudinal plate 11 are respectively attached to the two sides of the sunroof side base 7, and then both are connected to the sunroof side base 7 by fasteners.

[0074] The mounting plate serves as a support component for the pulley structure 1-1, providing a stable mounting platform for the rotating support mechanism and the valve plate pulley 2.

[0075] Its function is to firmly fix the pulley structure 1-1 to the sunroof side base 7, ensuring that the pulley will not loosen or shift during operation.

[0076] By designing the mounting plate as a combination of longitudinal plate 11 and transverse plate 12, the stability of the entire pulley structure 1-1 can be enhanced.

[0077] The vertical arrangement of the longitudinal plate 11 and the transverse plate 12 can effectively disperse and bear various forces from the pulley during operation, thereby improving the structure's resistance to deformation.

[0078] The shape and size of the mounting plate can be adjusted according to the specific structure of the skylight and the installation space, offering high flexibility.

[0079] The longitudinal plate 11 and the transverse plate 12 are arranged perpendicularly to form an "L" or "T" shaped structure. The specific shape depends on the layout and installation requirements of the pulley structure 1-1.

[0080] The longitudinal plate 11 is typically used to install the rotating support mechanism, while the transverse plate 12 is used to connect with the sunroof side base 7, providing additional support and stability; and it can also ensure that the various rotating support mechanisms are arranged at the same height.

[0081] A sunroof assembly includes a sunroof side base 7, on which a plurality of sunroof valve plate opening pulley structures 1-1 are provided; the sunroof side base 7 is the basic component of the sunroof assembly, used to support and fix the entire sunroof system.

[0082] The sunroof side base 7 is typically a rigid structure with sufficient strength and stability to withstand the various forces generated during the use of the sunroof.

[0083] Both ends of the sunroof valve plate 8 are respectively connected to a sunroof side base 7 via a sunroof valve plate opening pulley structure 1-1; multiple sunroof valve plate opening pulley structures 1-1 are installed on each sunroof side base 7, and these pulley structures 1-1 are used to assist in opening and closing the sunroof valve plate 8.

[0084] The arrangement of multiple pulley structures 1-1 can distribute the weight of the sunroof valve plate 8 and reduce the load on a single pulley structure 1-1, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the entire system.

[0085] The number and layout of the pulley structure 1-1 can be adjusted according to the size, shape and usage requirements of the skylight to ensure optimal operation.

[0086] The pulley structure 1-1 is fixed to the sunroof side base 7 by mounting plate 1 and fastening bolts.

[0087] This installation method is simple, reliable, and easy to install and maintain.

[0088] The mounting plate 1 and the sunroof side base 7 can be fixed by bolts, welding or other mechanical connections to ensure that the pulley structure 1-1 will not loosen during operation.

[0089] The pulley structure 1-1 is usually evenly distributed along the movement trajectory of the sunroof valve plate 8 to ensure that the valve plate remains stable during opening and closing.

[0090] The position and spacing of the pulley structure 1-1 can be optimized according to the size and weight of the valve plate to reduce opening resistance and improve operating efficiency.

[0091] Multiple pulleys work together in a 1-1 configuration to share the weight and resistance of the valve plate. This design effectively reduces wear on individual pulleys and extends their service life.

[0092] The fit between the pulley structure 1-1 and the valve plate needs to be precisely adjusted to ensure that the valve plate does not jam with the pulley during operation.

[0093] Obviously, the specific implementation of this utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned methods. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
