With the automotive manufacturing industry's increasing demands for production efficiency and assembly precision, easily assembled front and rear beams for sunroofs have become a focus of industry attention. These beams not only shorten production cycles and reduce labor costs but also ensure the reliability of sunroof installation through precise assembly structures, thereby improving the overall vehicle safety and comfort.
[0003] Existing easy-to-assemble automotive sunroof front and rear beams use traditional bolt connections or snap-fit splicing methods for some beams. These methods often require multiple adjustments and tightenings with specialized tools, resulting in cumbersome procedures and low assembly efficiency. Therefore, a new easy-to-assemble automotive sunroof front and rear beam is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an easy-to-assemble front and rear beam for automotive sunroofs. It aims to improve the existing easy-to-assemble automotive sunroof front and rear beams in terms of assembly structure. Some of the front and rear beams use traditional bolt connections or snap-fit splicing methods. These methods often require multiple adjustments and tightenings with professional tools, which is cumbersome and leads to low assembly efficiency.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a front and rear beam for an easy-to-assemble car sunroof, comprising two side plates, a front beam installed between the front sides of the two side plates, and a rear beam installed between the rear sides of the two side plates.

Insertion components are installed on the outer walls of the side plates, and cable retractors are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the side plates. Fixing components are installed inside the cable retractors.
[0006] The fixing assembly includes multiple housings, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the take-up plate. Two guide rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housings. Slider blocks are slidably connected to the outer walls of the guide rods. A limit plate is fixedly connected between the outer walls of the two sliders. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the limit plate. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod away from the limit plate. A pressure spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The positioning component includes multiple spring plates, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The plug-in assembly includes four fixing rods, which are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the side plate. A ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod, and multiple fixing holes are opened on the outer wall of the ring.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The side of the spring sheet away from the fixing block is engaged with the fixing hole.

[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, the assembly process of the side plate with the front and rear beams is simplified to a quick plug-in operation by the cooperation of the plug-in component and the positioning component. The snap-fit structure of the fixing rod, the ring, the spring plate, and the fixing hole allows the fixing rod to be inserted into the corresponding position during assembly. The spring plate will automatically snap into the fixing hole after being compressed and deformed, eliminating the need for complicated tools and cumbersome steps, and greatly improving the assembly efficiency of the front and rear beams of the car sunroof.
[0023] 2. In this invention, when a cable is placed, the clamping plate automatically slides under the pressure of the cable, causing the slider to compress the pressure spring. After the external force disappears, the pressure spring releases its potential energy, pushing the clamping plate back to clamp the cable. This process eliminates the need for manual adjustment, achieving automatic cable fixation. This not only prevents cables from becoming tangled and messy, but also effectively prevents cables from shifting or moving while the vehicle is in motion, protecting them from wear and tear, ensuring the normal operation of the sunroof electrical system, and also improving the cleanliness and aesthetics of the vehicle interior.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a car sunroof front and rear beam that is easy to assemble, including two side plates 1. A front beam 2 is installed between the front sides of the two side plates 1, and a rear beam 3 is installed between the rear sides of the two side plates 1. The front beam 2, rear beam 3, and side plates 1 together form the basic frame structure of the car sunroof front and rear beams, providing a stable installation foundation for the car sunroof. Fixing blocks 4 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both the front beam 2 and the rear beam 3. The fixing blocks 4 are used to support positioning components, playing a role in positioning and fixing related parts, ensuring the accuracy and stability of assembly. The sunroof is equipped with a positioning component that precisely positions other components during assembly, ensuring accurate installation. A plug-in component is installed on the outer wall of side panel 1, enabling quick connection and assembly between side panel 1 and other components, simplifying the assembly process and improving efficiency. A cable management plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of side panel 1. The cable management plate 9 contains a fixing component, which works in conjunction with the fixing component to store and organize the sunroof-related cables, preventing tangled cables from affecting the sunroof's normal operation and the vehicle's interior aesthetics.
[0034] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fixing assembly includes multiple housings 10, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the take-up plate 9. The housings 10 serve as mounting carriers for other components of the fixing assembly, providing them with installation space and support structure. Two guide rods 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of each housing 10, guiding the sliding of the slider 12 and ensuring that the slider 12 moves in a specified direction, thus stabilizing the operation of the fixing assembly. A slider 12 is slidably connected to the outer wall of each guide rod 11, allowing the slider 12 to slide on the guide rod 11. This sliding motion drives the movement of related components, enabling the fixing and releasing of the cable. A limit plate 13 is fixedly connected between the outer walls of the two sliders 12, limiting the sliding motion. The sliding range of block 12 is limited to prevent excessive sliding of slider 12 from disengaging from guide rod 11. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of limiting plate 13. The connecting rod 15 connects limiting plate 13 and clamping plate 16, transmitting the movement of limiting plate 13 to clamping plate 16. A clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the side of connecting rod 15 away from limiting plate 13. Clamping plate 16 is used to clamp the cable, and its movement is used to fix the cable, preventing the cable from shaking or shifting during vehicle operation. A pressure spring 14 is sleeved on the outer wall of guide rod 11. The pressure spring 14 provides the elastic force for slider 12 to return. When the external force is removed, clamping plate 16 can automatically return, facilitating cable installation and removal.
[0035] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The positioning component includes multiple spring plates 5, which are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 4. The spring plates 5 have a certain elastic deformation capability. During the assembly process, when other parts come into contact with the spring plates 5, the spring plates 5 can undergo elastic deformation, cooperate with the corresponding structure, and achieve precise positioning and firm connection.
[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The plug-in assembly includes four fixing rods 6, which are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the front and rear sides of the side plate 1. The fixing rods 6 provide a support structure for the plug-in assembly and are used to fix the rings 7. The outer walls of the fixing rods 6 are fixedly connected to the rings 7, which are used to cooperate with other components to achieve plug-in connection, ensuring the accuracy and firmness of the plug-in. The outer walls of the rings 7 are provided with multiple fixing holes 8. Through the snap-fit of the spring plates 5 with the fixing holes 8, the side plate 1 can be quickly positioned and stably connected with other components, improving assembly efficiency and structural stability.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-3 The side of the spring plate 5 away from the fixing block 4 is engaged with the fixing hole 8. When the ring 7 moves in a certain direction, the spring plate 5 undergoes elastic deformation, enters the fixing hole 8 and returns to its original shape, achieving a tight engagement, thereby firmly connecting the side plate 1 with other components.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer wall of the ring 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rear beam 3. The ring 7 and the spring plate 5 abut against each other. During the process of sliding connection between the ring 7 and the inner wall of the rear beam 3, the ring 7 can guide the side plate 1 and the rear beam 3 to be accurately assembled. At the same time, the ring 7 abuts against the spring plate 5. When the ring 7 moves to the appropriate position, the spring plate 5 can be smoothly inserted into the fixing hole 8 on the ring 7, realizing a stable connection between the side plate 1 and the rear beam 3.
[0039] Reference Figure 6 One end of the pressure spring 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 12, and the other end of the pressure spring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. When an external force is applied to the clamping plate 16 to make the slider 12 slide on the guide rod 11, the pressure spring 14 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the external force is removed, the pressure spring 14 releases the elastic potential energy, pushes the slider 12 to reset, and drives the clamping plate 16 to return to its original position, thereby realizing the automatic clamping or loosening of the cable.
[0040] Reference Figure 6 The outer wall of the limiting plate 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. The cooperation between the limiting plate 13 and the inner wall of the housing 10 can limit the sliding range of the slider 12 and prevent the slider 12 from sliding out of the guide rod 11.
[0041] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The clamp 16 is arc-shaped, which allows it to better fit the outer surface of the cable and increase the contact area with the cable.
[0042] Working principle: When the front and rear beams of the sunroof need to be assembled, the fixing rods 6 on the two front beams 2 are inserted into the positioning holes on the front beam 2 and the rear beam 3 respectively, and fully inserted into the fixing block 4. When the fixing rods 6 enter the fixing block 4, they will squeeze the spring sheet 5 under the action of the ring 7, causing the spring sheet 5 to bend and generate potential energy. When the fixing rods 6 are fully inserted into the fixing block 4 and the ring 7 is on the back of the spring sheet 5, the spring sheet 5 will release the stored potential energy, so that the bottom of the spring sheet 5 is stuck in the fixing hole 8 on the outer wall of the ring 7, realizing the rapid assembly of the side plate 1, the front beam 2 and the rear beam 3.
[0043] When the assembly is complete and the wires need to be arranged, the wires are placed between the two clamping plates 16. At this time, the two clamping plates 16 are squeezed by the diameter of the wires, which causes them to slide. The connecting rod 15 drives the limiting plate 13 to slide. When the limiting plate 13 slides, it drives the slider 12 to slide on the outer wall of the guide rod 11, and at the same time, it compresses the pressure spring 14, causing the pressure spring 14 to store potential energy. When the wires are completely inside the two clamping plates 16, the external force disappears, and the pressure spring 14 releases the stored potential energy, thereby pushing the limiting plate 13 to slide. The connecting rod 15 then drives the clamping plates 16 to slide, clamping and fixing the wires.
[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present 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 or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
