[0043] 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.

[0044] Example 1:

[0045] Please see Figures 1-7 This embodiment provides a sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles, the specific concept of which is as follows:

[0046] The sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles includes a vehicle body 1, a first sunshade 2, and a second sunshade 3. The first sunshade 2 is located on the top of the vehicle body 1, and the second sunshade 3 is located on the left side of the first sunshade 2. The sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles also includes a top plate 6 installed on the top of the vehicle body 1, connecting plates 49, which are fixedly installed at the bottom of the left and right ends of the first sunshade 2. There are two connecting plates 49, and each connecting plate 49 is a cuboid. An extension component is located below the first sunshade 2 to quickly extend the first sunshade 2. The extension component of the sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles includes a motor 41, whose bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 6, and whose output end is fixedly connected to a first gear 42. The outer side of the first gear 42 is meshed with a double-sided gear 43, and the inner side of the rear end of the double-sided gear 43 is fixedly connected to a first swing frame 44.

[0047] In addition, it should be noted that the connection between the motor 41 and the top plate 6 is made by bolt fixing, which makes the use of the motor 41 more stable. The connection between the first gear 42 and the motor 41 is made by welding, which allows the motor 41 to stably drive the first gear 42 to rotate. The double-sided gear 43 is arc-shaped and set above the top plate 6.

[0048] The extension assembly of the sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles also includes a first support column 45, which is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 6 at the bottom and hinged to the middle of the first swing frame 44 at the top. The top of the first gear 42 is fixedly connected to the second gear 46, and the inner side of the second gear 46 is meshed with an arc-shaped gear 410.

[0049] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the connection between the first support column 45 and the top plate 6 is made by welding, which makes the first support column 45 more stable during use. The diameter of the second gear 46 is smaller than that of the first gear 42, and the connection between the first gear 42 and the second gear 46 is made by welding, which allows the second gear 46 to rotate more stably with the rotation of the first gear 42.

[0050] The extension assembly of the sunshade retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles also includes a second swing frame 47, which is fixedly connected to the left front end of the arc gear 410 on the right side and hinged at the bottom middle end to the top of the first support column 45; wherein, the first swing frame 44 and the top left side of the second swing frame 47 are fixedly connected to a connecting block 48, and the bottom of the connecting plate 49 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting block 48.

[0051] It should be noted that the second swing frame 47 is "L" shaped, and there are two connecting blocks 48. The connecting blocks 48 are cuboids, but they can also be cubes or cylinders. However, in this application, they are cuboids, so they will not be described in detail.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the motor 41 drives the first gear 42 to rotate clockwise, the double-sided gear 43 can synchronously drive the first swing frame 44 to move inward on the first support column 45. At the same time, the second gear 46 rotates clockwise, driving the second swing frame 47 on its inner arc gear 410 to swing inward at the top of the first support column 45. This causes the connecting block 48 at the top of the first swing frame 44 and the second swing frame 47 to move inward synchronously, causing the connecting block 48 to drive the first sunshade 2 at the top of the connecting plate 49 to retract inward.

[0053] Example 2:

[0054] like Figures 1-7 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles further includes a connecting rod 56, which is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the second sunshade 3. An auxiliary component is located below the second sunshade 3 and can push the second sunshade 3 to move back and forth. The auxiliary component on the sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles includes a third gear 51, with a double-sided gear 43 meshing on the right side on the left and a second support column 52 hinged to the bottom. The bottom of the second support column 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 6.

[0055] In addition, it should be noted that the bottom of the second support column 52 is connected to the top plate 6 by welding, so that the second support column 52 can provide more stable support for the use of the third gear 51, and the second support column 52 is a cylinder.

[0056] The auxiliary components of the sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles also include a rack 53, which meshes with the rear end of the third gear 51, and a limit frame 54 is fixedly connected to its bottom; wherein, the bottom of the limit frame 54 is slidably connected to a limit block 55, and the bottom of the limit block 55 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 6.

[0057] In this embodiment, the limiting frame 54 is U-shaped, the limiting block 55 is U-shaped, and the connection between the limiting frame 54 and the rack 53 is welded, so that the rack 53 can move stably along the limiting frame 54. The connection between the limiting block 55 and the top plate 6 is welded, so that the use of the limiting block 55 is more stable.

[0058] The auxiliary components of the sunshade canopy retraction device for low-speed autonomous vehicles also include a vertical plate 57, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the top left side of the top plate 6, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the second sunshade 3, the top of the connecting rod 56 being fixedly connected to the top left side of the rack 53, and the third gear 51 being located in the middle of the double-sided gear 43.

[0059] It should be noted that the connection between the top plate 6 and the vertical plate 57 is made by bolt fixing, so that the vertical plate 57 can be stably installed on the top of the top plate 6. There are two vertical plates 57, and the vertical plates 57 are cuboids. The vertical plates 57 can also be cubes or cylinders, but in this application they are cuboids, which will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the double-sided gear 43 rotates clockwise, the third gear 51 can rotate counterclockwise on the top of the second support column 52, so that the rack 53 can pull the limiting frame 54 to move forward on the limiting block 55, so that the rack 53 drives the connecting rod 56 to move inward, and then the connecting rod 56 can drive the second sunshade 3 to retract on the top of the vehicle body 1.

[0061] Working principle: When the first sunshade 2 and the second sunshade 3 on the top of the vehicle body 1 are needed, the starter motor 41 drives the first gear 42 to rotate counterclockwise. Then, the double-sided gear 43 can move outward. At the same time, the first swing bracket 44 on the outer side of the double-sided gear 43 can move outward above the first support column 45. While the first gear 42 rotates, the second gear 46 on its top can rotate counterclockwise synchronously. Then, the arc gear 410 can move outward synchronously. Then, the second swing bracket 47 on its outer side can move outward on the top of the first support column 45. At this time, the connecting block 48 on the top of the first swing bracket 44 and the second swing bracket 47 can move outward synchronously. As the connecting block 48 moves outward, the connecting plate 49 can also move outward simultaneously, allowing the first sunshade 2 on the top of the connecting plate 49 to quickly extend on the top of the vehicle body 1. When the double-sided gear 43 moves outward, the third gear 51 can rotate clockwise on the top of the second support column 52. While the third gear 51 rotates clockwise, the limiting bracket 54 on the rear rack 53 can move outward on the limiting block 55, allowing the rack 53 to move outward stably. Then, the rack 53 can drive the connecting rod 56 on its outer top to move outward on the top of the vehicle body 1, allowing the connecting rod 56 to drive the second sunshade 3 to quickly unfold on the top of the vehicle body 1.

[0062] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
