Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sun protection technology for sightseeing vehicles, and in particular to a sunshade and sun protection structure for electric sightseeing vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of new energy technologies, electric sightseeing vehicles are widely used in short-distance shuttle scenarios such as scenic spots and parks due to their environmental friendliness, low noise, and flexibility. Traditional electric sightseeing vehicles are usually equipped with a fixed roof structure, mainly for sun and rain protection, but there are still many shortcomings in actual use.
[0003] First, traditional roof structures are simple and can only meet basic sunshade needs. They cannot effectively utilize the space on the top of the vehicle for energy conversion. As the demand for long-term outdoor operation increases, the contradiction between vehicle range and energy supply efficiency becomes increasingly prominent.
[0004] Secondly, most existing sunshade devices are fixed or manually adjustable, which cannot quickly adjust the sunshade range according to weather changes. For example, in the event of a sudden downpour or strong wind, insufficient lateral protection can easily cause passengers to get wet or be disturbed by strong light, affecting the riding experience.
[0005] In addition, the selection of traditional sunshade materials is relatively limited, making it difficult to meet the needs of multiple scenarios such as shading, ventilation, and rain protection. For example, fixed hard roofs can block rain but hinder ventilation, while gauze materials are breathable but lack the ability to protect against wind and rain.
[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies have attempted improvements by adding side curtains or foldable sunshades. However, such structures often suffer from drawbacks such as cumbersome operation and poor stability. For example, manual roller blinds require frequent operation by passengers or drivers and are difficult to adjust in real time while the vehicle is in motion. Some electric lifting structures, lacking precise guiding design, are prone to jamming or misalignment, leading to decreased reliability over long-term use. Furthermore, the cost of disassembling and maintaining sunshade components is high. For instance, a one-piece side panel requires complete replacement when partially damaged, increasing operating costs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a sunshade structure that features intelligent adjustment, quick disassembly and assembly, multi-scenario adaptability, and energy reuse capabilities to improve the practicality, economy, and environmental adaptability of electric sightseeing vehicles. Utility Model Content
[0007] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a sunshade and sun protection structure for electric sightseeing vehicles, solving the technical problem of insufficient lateral protection.
[0009] (II) Technical Solution
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0011] A sunshade and sun protection structure for an electric sightseeing vehicle, including
[0012] The sightseeing vehicle is an electric vehicle, primarily powered by electricity. It features a frame around its perimeter for structural protection, and a roof with photovoltaic panels on top. These panels convert solar energy into shading, providing both sun protection and energy reuse.
[0013] The vehicle frame is equipped with four sets of lifting components, which are vertically distributed and symmetrically positioned above the sightseeing vehicle to enhance the stability of the load. A connecting rod is installed at the bottom of the lower end of the lifting components, and connecting blocks are installed on the outside of the connecting rod and at the top of the canopy. The two sets of connecting blocks are used to fix the sunshade blocks at both ends.
[0014] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a fixing block, one side of which is fixedly mounted on the outside of the frame by bolts, a cylinder is provided below the fixing block, a connector is provided at the end of the cylinder, a slide rod is fixedly mounted on the connector by bolts, and two sets of slide rails are provided on the other side of the fixing block, with a slide rod slidably mounted in the middle of the slide rails.
[0015] Preferably, a sunshade block is installed at the end of the slide rod via a connecting rod, and the movement of the slide rod is guided by a slide rail to guide the lifting, lowering, and retracting displacement of the sunshade block. The cylinder is connected to an external control switch. When retraction is required, the cylinder pushes the connecting head and the slide rod outward, and the slide rod drives the entire sunshade block to move and be controlled.
[0016] Preferably, the sunshade block is made of different materials depending on the needs of the usage scenario. When sunshade is needed, dark gauze material can be used to achieve both sun protection and ventilation. When wind protection is needed, acrylic pleated windows can be used to ensure sightseeing.
[0017] Preferably, the connecting block includes a mother block and a daughter block. The mother block has a snap-fit groove in the middle. The snap-fit groove is a U-shaped groove. The daughter block is snapped and installed through the U-shaped groove of the snap-fit groove, so as to achieve the initial positioning of the daughter block installation.
[0018] Preferably, the snap-fit groove and the corresponding mother block are provided with threaded holes. The mother block and the daughter block are installed and fixed by passing a locking bolt through the mother block and the daughter block, which can realize quick disassembly and quick assembly, and facilitate the replacement of different parts according to the requirements of use.
[0019] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0020] 1. By integrating photovoltaic panels into the roof, the system not only provides basic sunshade and sun protection functions, but also innovatively converts solar energy into electrical energy. It adopts four independently controlled lifting components, which drive the slide rods to slide within the slide rails via cylinders, achieving precise lifting and lowering control of the sun protection blocks. The double guide rail design of the slide rails effectively prevents movement deviation and ensures the stability of the four sun protection blocks when lifting and lowering synchronously. The rigid connection structure between the connecting rod and the slide rod can withstand dynamic loads and is particularly suitable for the vibration environment during vehicle operation.
[0021] 2. The innovative modular sunshade block design allows for switching between sunshade and ventilation as well as wind protection and sightseeing through the optional configuration of dark gauze and acrylic pleated windows. The designed mother block and daughter block combination structure uses U-shaped snap-fit grooves to achieve pre-positioning of daughter blocks and locking bolts for quick locking. This structure reduces the replacement time of sunshade blocks to within minutes. The assembly gap design of the snap-fit grooves ensures smooth assembly and avoids shaking and abnormal noise. The reinforcing rib structure of the mother block reduces weight while ensuring strength. Attached Figure Description

[0028] This application provides a sunshade and sun protection structure for an electric sightseeing vehicle, which solves the problem of insufficient lateral protection in the prior art. It uses four independently controlled lifting components, which drive the slide rods to slide in the slide rails via cylinders, to achieve precise lifting and lowering control of the sunshade blocks. The double guide rail design of the slide rails effectively prevents movement deviation and ensures the stability of the four sunshade blocks when they are lifted and lowered synchronously.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problem of insufficient lateral protection mentioned above, and the overall idea is as follows:
[0031] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a sunshade and sun protection structure for an electric sightseeing vehicle, including...
[0032] The sightseeing vehicle 1 is an electric vehicle, primarily driven by electricity. A frame 3 is installed around the perimeter of the sightseeing vehicle 1, providing structural protection on the outside. A roof 4 is installed on top of the frame 3, and photovoltaic panels are installed on the roof 4. These photovoltaic panels convert solar energy, providing shade and sun protection while simultaneously enabling energy conversion and reuse.
[0033] The frame 3 is equipped with four sets of lifting components 2. The four sets of lifting components 2 are vertically distributed and symmetrically distributed above the sightseeing vehicle 1 to improve the stability of the load. The bottom of the lower end of the lifting component 2 is provided with a connecting rod 5. The outer side of the connecting rod 5 and the top of the canopy 4 are provided with connecting blocks 7. The two sets of connecting blocks 7 are used to fix the two ends of the sunshade block 6.
[0034] By integrating photovoltaic panels into the roof 4, the system not only provides basic sunshade and sun protection but also innovatively converts solar energy into electricity. This structure cleverly utilizes the space on the top of the vehicle body to achieve self-sufficiency in energy without affecting the overall shape of the vehicle, thus reducing the vehicle's dependence on charging stations. The tilt angle design of the photovoltaic panels can be combined with the drainage slope of the roof 4 to ensure energy conversion efficiency.
[0035] like Figure 3As shown, the lifting assembly 2 includes a fixing block 21. One side of the fixing block 21 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the frame 3 by bolts. A cylinder 22 is provided below the fixing block 21. A connector 23 is provided at the end of the cylinder 22. A slide rod 25 is fixedly mounted on the connector 23 by bolts. Two sets of slide rails 24 are provided on the other side of the fixing block 21. A slide rod 25 is slidably mounted in the middle of the slide rails 24. A sunshade block 6 is mounted at the end of the slide rod 25 through a connecting rod 5. The slide rails 24 guide the movement of the slide rod 25, thereby guiding the lifting and retraction displacement of the sunshade block 6. The cylinder 22 is connected to an external control switch. When retraction is required, the cylinder 22 pushes the connector 23 and the slide rod 25 outward, and the slide rod 25 drives the sunshade block 6 to move as a whole.
[0036] The system employs four independently controlled lifting components 2, which drive the slide rod 25 to slide within the slide rail 24 via the cylinder 22, thereby achieving precise lifting control of the sunshade block 6. The double guide rail design of the slide rail 24 effectively prevents movement deviation and ensures stability when the four sunshade blocks 6 are lifted and lowered synchronously. The rigid connection structure between the connecting rod 5 and the slide rod 25 can withstand dynamic loads and is particularly suitable for the vibration environment during vehicle operation.
[0037] The sun protection block 6 can be made of different materials depending on the needs of the usage scenario. When sunshade is required, dark gauze material can be used to achieve both sun protection and ventilation. When wind protection is required, acrylic pleated windows can be used to ensure sightseeing.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the connecting block 7 includes a mother block 71 and a daughter block 72. The mother block 71 has a snap-fit groove 73 in the middle. The snap-fit groove 73 is a U-shaped groove. The daughter block 72 is snapped and installed through the U-shaped groove of the snap-fit groove 73, realizing the initial positioning of the daughter block 72. The snap-fit groove 73 and the corresponding mother block 71 are provided with threaded holes. The mother block 71 and the daughter block 72 are installed and fixed by passing a locking bolt 74 through the mother block 71 and the daughter block 72. It can realize quick disassembly and quick assembly, and is convenient to replace different ones according to the requirements of use.
[0039] The modular sunshade block 6 design allows for switching between sunshade and ventilation, as well as wind protection and sightseeing, by offering two optional materials: dark gauze and acrylic pleated windows. The dark gauze material achieves a light transmittance of 30-50% through controlled weaving density, while the acrylic pleated windows maintain over 80% visibility when blocking the wind. Material replacement requires no special tools; simply loosen the locking bolts 74 on the connecting block 7.
[0040] The designed combination structure of the mother block 71 and the daughter block 72 uses a U-shaped snap-fit groove 73 to pre-position the daughter block 72, and a locking bolt 74 to quickly lock it in place. This structure reduces the replacement time of the sunscreen block 6 to within 2 minutes. The 1.5mm assembly gap design of the snap-fit groove 73 ensures smooth assembly and avoids shaking and abnormal noise. The reinforcing rib structure of the mother block 71 reduces weight by 30% while maintaining strength.
[0041] Effectiveness: This solution constructs an expandable modular platform through a three-level structural system of frame 3-roof 4-lifting component 2. The innovative design of photovoltaic panel integration with mechanical structure (integration of roof 4), the guiding precision control of slide rail 24 (0.1mm level fit tolerance), and the quick-release mechanism of connecting block 7 (standardized interface of mother block 71 / child block 72) form a complete intelligent protection system solution.
[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
