Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a roof assembly for a vehicle and the vehicle itself. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, structural holes are typically provided between the vehicle's roof body and the trim components. These holes are primarily used to guide airflow, optimize vehicle aerodynamic performance, or meet functional integration requirements. This type of structural design is widely used in some traditional vehicle models, facilitating functions such as ventilation, water drainage, or wiring harness arrangement within the roof assembly.

[0003] However, with the continuous optimization of styling, function, and manufacturing processes in new-generation models, some models no longer require the aforementioned structural holes in practical applications. For example, airflow guidance has been achieved through other concealed structures or active ventilation systems, thus replacing or making redundant the function of the original structural holes. In this case, retaining the structural holes not only has no practical significance but may even adversely affect the appearance or manufacturing consistency.

[0004] However, since the structural holes are already integrated into the mold structure of the roof body and decorative parts as a design element, their removal requires multiple modifications or replacements of existing molds, involving simultaneous adjustments to multiple part molds or injection molding processes. This leads to complex mold modifications, significantly increased manufacturing costs, and challenges to the rapid production and cost control of new models. Therefore, how to balance the universality of part design with the minimization of mold modifications without requiring structural holes has become a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of vehicle roof design.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] The top cover assembly 100 of this utility model embodiment is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a top cover assembly 100 includes: a top cover body 10, a decorative component 20, a sealing component 30, and a mating component 40.

[0034] Decorative element 20 is disposed on top cover body 10, and decorative element 20 and top cover body 10 together define a structural hole 21. A sealing element 30 and a mating element 40 are at least partially disposed within the structural hole 21, and the sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 respectively abut against opposite sides of the decorative element 20. The sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 are connected to position the sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 on the decorative element 20.

[0035] The roof body 10 is part of the vehicle's frame structure. Vehicles typically have a storage space, and the roof body 10 is constructed as a limiting structure for that storage space. The roof body 10, together with other components, defines the storage space, such as passenger space.

[0036] The decorative element 20 is installed on the top cover body 10. The decorative element 20 serves a decorative function. The decorative element 20 and the top cover body 10 together define a structural hole 21. When the vehicle is traveling at high speed or facing airflow impact, the structural hole 21 can guide the airflow to flow smoothly along the surface of the decorative element 20, reduce airflow separation in the area of ​​the decorative element 20, reduce the noise level in this area, and improve the passenger's driving experience.

[0037] In related technologies, structural holes are typically provided between the vehicle's roof body and the trim components. These holes are primarily used to guide airflow, optimize vehicle aerodynamic performance, or meet functional integration requirements. This type of structural design is widely used in some traditional vehicle models, facilitating functions such as ventilation, water drainage, or wiring harness arrangement within the roof assembly.

[0038] However, with the continuous optimization of styling, function, and manufacturing processes in new-generation models, some models no longer require the aforementioned structural holes in practical applications. For example, airflow guidance has been achieved through other concealed structures or active ventilation systems, thus replacing or making redundant the function of the original structural holes. In this case, retaining the structural holes not only has no practical significance but may even adversely affect the appearance or manufacturing consistency.

[0039] However, since the structural holes are already integrated into the mold structure of the roof body and decorative parts as a design element, their removal requires multiple modifications or replacements of existing molds, involving simultaneous adjustments to multiple part molds or injection molding processes. This leads to complex mold modifications, significantly increased manufacturing costs, and challenges to the rapid production and cost control of new models. Therefore, how to balance the universality of part design with the minimization of mold modifications without requiring structural holes has become a key issue that urgently needs to be addressed in the field of vehicle roof design.

[0040] In this embodiment of the utility model, the sealing part 30 and the mating part 40 are connected through the cooperation of the sealing part 30 and the mating part 40. The two parts abut against the opposite sides of the decorative part 20, and the sealing part 30 and the mating part 40 are positioned on the decorative part 20, so that the sealing part 30 and the mating part 40 are stuck in the structural hole 21. There is no need to modify the mold, which reduces the cost. Under the premise of not needing the structural hole 21, the universality of the part design and the minimization of mold modification are taken into account.

[0041] Meanwhile, it should be noted that in related technologies, the top cover body has an installation hole and the sealing component is fixed with screws, but there is a risk of water leakage. In this embodiment of the utility model, by cooperating with the sealing component 30 and the mating component 40, there is no need to open an installation hole, which reduces the risk of water leakage and improves the convenience of assembly. The sealing component 30 and the mating component 40 can be fixed in the structural hole 21 more conveniently.

[0042] Specifically, the sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 are connected by screws. After the sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 are placed in the structural hole 21, they are fixed with screws; or, the sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 are snapped together. The sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 are inserted from both ends of the structural hole 21, and the sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 come into contact. Pressing the sealing element 30 and the mating element 40 makes them close to each other and snap together.

[0043] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the top cover assembly 100, through the cooperation of the sealing member 30 and the mating member 40, allows the sealing member 30 and the mating member 40 to be locked in the structural hole 21 without modifying the mold, thus reducing costs. Under the premise of not needing the structural hole 21, it takes into account the universality of the part design and the minimization of mold modification, and there is no need to open the mounting hole, which reduces the risk of water leakage and improves the convenience of assembly. The sealing member 30 and the mating member 40 can be easily fixed in the structural hole 21.

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the blocking member 30 is provided with a connecting structure 31, which is located at one end of the blocking member 30 facing the mating member 40 and is connected to the mating member 40.

[0045] The sealing component 30 is provided with a connecting structure 31, which connects to the mating component 40, so that the sealing component 30 and the mating component 40 are relatively fixed, and the sealing component 30 and the mating component 40 are fixed in the structural hole 21.

[0046] In the above scheme, by setting a connecting structure 31 on the sealing component 30, the sealing component 30 is connected to the mating component 40, the sealing component 30 and the mating component 40 can be easily combined, and the sealing component 30 and the mating component 40 are stably connected, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0047] For example, the sealing component 30 is provided with a screw, which is a connecting structure 31, and the screw connects to the mating component 40; or, the sealing component 30 is provided with a threaded hole, which is a connecting structure 31, and a screw is provided in the threaded hole, which connects to the mating component 40; of course, the connecting structure 31 can also be other, which will not be elaborated here.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the sealing member 30 has a decorative outer plate 32 at one end, and a protrusion 33 at the end of the sealing member 30 away from the decorative outer plate 32. A connector 331 is provided on the protrusion 33. The connector 331 is constructed as a connecting structure 31 and connects to the mating member 40.

[0049] The sealing component 30 has a decorative outer plate 32 and a protrusion 33 at opposite ends. A connector 331 is provided on the protrusion 33 to connect the mating component 40. The other end of the sealing component 30 has a decorative outer plate 32. The protrusion 33 is located inside the structural hole 21, and the decorative outer plate 32 is located at or outside the opening of the structural hole 21. The decorative outer plate 32 matches the decorative component 20 and decorates the appearance, making the overall consistency stronger.

[0050] In the above solution, by providing a protrusion 33 at one end of the sealing member 30, and a connector 331 on the protrusion 33, the fitting member 40 is connected by the connector 331. The protrusion 33 is suitable for installing the connector 331, which makes the overall volume of the sealing member 30 smaller. A decorative outer panel 32 is provided at the other end of the sealing member 30 opposite to the protrusion 33. The decorative outer panel 32 is used to decorate the appearance and improve the overall consistency of the appearance.

[0051] Specifically, the connector 331 is a bolt, screw, or rivet, etc., and the mating part 40 is connected by the connector 331. The specific connection will not be described in detail here.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the sealing element 30 includes: a sealing body 34 and a decorative mounting part 35.

[0053] The sealing body 34 is inserted into the structural hole 21, and the protrusion 33 is located at one end of the sealing body 34. The decorative mounting part 35 is located at the other end of the sealing body 34 away from the protrusion 33. The decorative mounting part 35 is inclined relative to the sealing body 34, and the decorative outer panel 32 is located on the decorative mounting part 35.

[0054] The protrusion 33 and the decorative mounting part 35 are respectively provided at opposite ends of the sealing body 34. The sealing body 34 is located inside the structural hole 21. The decorative mounting part 35 is used to install the decorative outer panel 32. The decorative outer panel 32 is fixed on the outward side of the decorative mounting part 35. The decorative outer panel 32 has the same appearance as the decorative part 20. The decorative mounting part 35 is inclined relative to the sealing body 34 and provides a larger installation area.

[0055] In the above solution, by setting a decorative mounting part 35 and a protrusion 33 on the sealing body 34, and setting the decorative mounting part 35 and the protrusion 33 on opposite sides of the sealing body 34, the decorative outer panel 32 is installed using the inclined decorative mounting part 35, which provides a larger installation space for the decorative outer panel 32 and facilitates installation. The protrusion 33 is set at the other end away from the decorative mounting part 35, and the connector 331 on the protrusion 33 connects to the mating part 40, making the sealing body 34 more reasonably stressed and more stable overall.

[0056] Specifically, a third sponge component 341 is provided on the sealing body 34, which abuts against the decorative component 20, reducing the probability of wear.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the sealing member 30 further includes a first reinforcing part 36 and a second reinforcing part 37. The first reinforcing part 36 is disposed on the sealing body 34, and the second reinforcing part 37 is connected to the sealing body 34 and the decorative mounting part 35 respectively. At least a portion of the second reinforcing part 37 and the first reinforcing part 36 are arranged intersectingly.

[0058] The first reinforcing part 36 is provided on the sealing body 34, and the first reinforcing part 36 strengthens the structural strength of the sealing body 34. The second reinforcing part 37 is connected to the sealing body 34 and the decorative installation part 35 respectively, and the second reinforcing part 37 strengthens the strength of the sealing body 34 and the decorative installation part 35. Some of the second reinforcing parts 37 are arranged crosswise with the first reinforcing part 36, and the first reinforcing part 36 and the second reinforcing part 37 work together to strengthen each other.

[0059] In the above scheme, by setting a first reinforcing part 36 on the sealing body 34 and using a second reinforcing part 37 to connect the sealing body 34 and the decorative installation part 35 respectively, some of the second reinforcing parts 37 intersect with the first reinforcing part 36, and some of the second reinforcing parts 37 and the first reinforcing part 36 work together to strengthen the strength of the sealing part 30, making the structure of the sealing part 30 more stable and reducing the probability of deformation of the sealing part 30.

[0060] Specifically, the first reinforcing part 36 extends along the width direction of the sealing body 34, and the second reinforcing part 37 extends along the length direction of the sealing body 34, with the first reinforcing part 36 and the second reinforcing part 37 intersecting.

[0061] More specifically, the second reinforcing part 37 is provided with a flexible element 371. By wrapping the second reinforcing part 37 with the flexible element 371, the probability of the second reinforcing part 37 scratching the top cover body 10 is reduced, thus protecting the paint surface of the top cover body 10. For example, the flexible element 371 is non-woven fabric, flexible sponge, etc.

[0062] More specifically, the first reinforcing part 36 is a first reinforcing rib, and the second reinforcing part 37 is a second reinforcing rib, which improves the strength.

[0063] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 In some embodiments, the decorative element 20 is provided with a groove 22, and the inner wall of the groove 22 is provided with a first abutting surface 221. In the direction of the decorative outer plate 32 toward the protrusion 33, the distance between the first abutting surfaces 221 on opposite sides gradually decreases to stop the decorative mounting part 35.

[0064] The decorative part 20 is provided with a groove 22. The decorative part 20 is installed on the top cover body 10. The inner wall of the groove 22 and the surface of the top cover body 10 together define the structural hole 21. The decorative mounting part 35 abuts against the inner wall of the groove 22. The part of the inner wall that abuts against the decorative mounting part 35 is the first abutting surface 221. The opposite inner walls of the groove 22 abut against the decorative mounting part 35. In the direction of the decorative outer plate 32 toward the protrusion 33, the distance between the first abutting surfaces 221 on opposite sides gradually decreases. During the insertion of the decorative mounting part 35, the decorative mounting part 35 automatically adapts to abut against the inner wall of the groove 22.

[0065] In the above scheme, by setting the distance between the first abutting surfaces 221 on opposite sides to gradually decrease, when the decorative mounting part 35 is inserted into the structural hole 21, the decorative mounting part 35 automatically moves to a suitable position in the structural hole 21, and the decorative mounting part 35 automatically abuts against the first abutting surface 221, which improves the ease of assembly, facilitates operation, and reduces the workload.

[0066] Specifically, the surface of the decorative outer panel 32 conforms to the surface of the decorative part 20, improving uniformity.

[0067] Specifically, the first contact surface 221 abuts against the decorative mounting part 35, thereby restricting the sealing part 30 in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions of the vehicle.

The same side of the mating part 40 plays different roles. During the assembly process, the parts of the mating part 40 that need to be mated are located on the same side, which facilitates the operation of the mating part 40, facilitates assembly, and improves convenience.

[0071] Specifically, the bottom part of the mating part 40 is constructed as a connecting surface 41, and the other part is constructed as a second abutting surface 42, so that the mating part 40 is restricted in the vertical direction of the vehicle.

[0072] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the mating part 40 includes: a mating body 43, a connecting part 44, and a mating abutment part 45.
