Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rain shelter technology, and in particular to a rotary adjustment device for electric vehicle rain shelters. Background Technology

[0002] To adapt to different weather conditions, electric vehicles are generally equipped with protective canopies. The canopies usually have a rotating and opening front window structure to maintain ventilation or adjust the visibility as needed.

[0003] Currently, the front window of an electric vehicle canopy, after being opened to the desired angle, typically needs to be locked in place by rotating a threaded knob. This locking method relies on the friction generated by the engagement of the threaded knob with the corresponding threaded hole to press and fix the support rod or connector of the front window.

[0004] However, this method of fixing via a threaded knob has significant shortcomings in practical use. Firstly, the operation is cumbersome, requiring users to rotate it multiple times to achieve effective locking, which is particularly inconvenient in scenarios requiring frequent adjustments to the window opening angle. Secondly, the threaded structure is prone to wear and tear over long-term use, leading to a decrease in locking force and loosening, thus affecting the reliability of the fixation. Therefore, a more convenient and reliable adjustment device is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is: how to improve the convenience and reliability of locking the front-opening window.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a rotation adjustment device for an electric vehicle canopy, comprising:

[0007] A fixing seat is used to fix the support rod sleeved on the canopy. The inner side wall of the fixing seat is provided with multiple circumferentially distributed grooves.

[0008] A rotating seat is used to rotatably mount a support rod on a canopy. The rotating seat is also used to connect to a front-opening window. The rotating seat has a through groove that passes through the side wall of the rotating seat. The fixed seat is mounted on the rotating seat.

[0009] A switching seat is used to rotatably mount a support rod to the canopy. The rotating seat is mounted on the switching seat, and the side wall of the switching seat has a recess.

[0010] The first rolling element is located between the fixed seat and the switching seat, and the first rolling element is located in the through groove;

[0011] The switching seat is rotatable relative to the rotating seat between a locked position and an unlocked position. When the switching seat is in the unlocked position, the recess corresponds to the through groove, allowing the rotating seat to rotate relative to the fixed seat. When the switching seat is in the locked position, the recess is misaligned with the through groove, and the switching seat presses the first rolling element against the recess to lock the rotating seat in the current position.

[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned rotating adjustment device for electric vehicle canopies also includes a limiting ring, which is used to fix the support rod sleeved on the canopy, and the limiting ring abuts against the end of the switching seat opposite to the fixed seat.

[0013] Furthermore, the aforementioned rotating adjustment device for electric vehicle canopies also includes a second rolling element and an elastic element. The rotating seat is provided with a receiving groove, and the second rolling element and the elastic element are both located in the receiving groove. The elastic element exerts a force on the second rolling element that can press the second rolling element against the groove.

[0014] Furthermore, a limiting structure is provided between the switching seat and the rotating seat. The limiting structure includes a protrusion on the switching seat and a limiting groove on the rotating seat. The movement range of the protrusion within the limiting groove corresponds to the rotation range of the switching seat between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0015] Furthermore, an operating handle is provided on the outer periphery of the switching seat.

[0016] Furthermore, a connecting rod is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating seat.

[0017] The above-described technical solution provides a rotating adjustment device for electric vehicle canopies. Compared with existing technologies, its advantages are as follows: By setting a switching seat that can rotate relative to the rotating seat and a first rolling element located between the fixed seat and the switching seat, when the switching seat rotates to the unlocked position, its recess corresponds to the through groove of the rotating seat, allowing the rolling element to move into the recess. The rotating seat can then rotate relative to the fixed seat, thus enabling the front window to rotate and adjust its angle flexibly. When the switching seat rotates to the locked position, its recess and the through groove are misaligned, and the switching seat presses the first rolling element against the groove of the fixed seat. The first rolling element limits the rotation seat through the through groove, preventing the rotating seat from rotating and forming a stable and reliable mechanical lock. This device only requires a simple rotation of the switching seat to quickly complete the unlocking or locking operation, which is more time-saving and labor-saving than the traditional threaded tightening method. At the same time, the locking mechanism using the cooperation between the first rolling element and the groove avoids the loosening problem caused by thread wear, ensuring a durable and reliable locking force, and significantly improving the convenience and reliability of the front window angle adjustment.

[0022] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., used to indicate orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" 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.

[0025] To address the issues of cumbersome operation and loosening over time associated with the threaded knob locking method used in existing electric vehicle canopy front windows, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a rotating adjustment device for electric vehicle canopies, including a fixed base 1, a rotating base 2, a switching base 3, and a first rolling element 4.

[0026] The fixing seat 1 is used to fix the support rod 9 of the canopy, and its inner side wall is machined with a plurality of grooves 11 evenly distributed along the circumference. The rotating seat 2 is rotatably fitted onto the support rod 9 and is connected to the front opening of the canopy. The side wall of the rotating seat 2 has a through groove 21. During installation, the fixing seat 1 is fitted onto the outside of the rotating seat 2, and a part of the rotating seat 2 is located outside the fixing seat 1 and fixedly connected to the front opening.

[0027] The switching seat 3 is also rotatably mounted on the support rod 9 and is located inside the rotating seat 2, that is, the rotating seat 2 is mounted outside the switching seat 3. The side wall of the switching seat 3 is provided with a recess 31, which is an inwardly recessed groove 11 structure. The first rolling element 4 is disposed between the fixed seat 1 and the switching seat 3 and is located in the through groove 21 of the rotating seat 2.

[0028] The switching seat 3 can rotate relative to the rotating seat 2 between the locked and unlocked positions. When the switching seat 3 rotates to the unlocked position relative to the rotating seat 2, the recess 31 on its side wall corresponds exactly to the through groove 21 of the rotating seat 2. At this time, the first rolling element 4 can fall into the space of the recess 31, allowing the rotating seat 2 to rotate freely relative to the fixed seat 1. Rotating the front window can realize the angle adjustment of the front window. When the switching seat 3 rotates to the locked position, its recess 31 is misaligned with the through groove 21. The outer side wall of the switching seat 3 presses the first rolling element 4 outward, making it tightly press against the groove 11 of the fixed seat 1. The first rolling element 4 is located in the through groove 21, thus restricting the rotation of the rotating seat 2 and locking the rotating seat 2 in the current position, thereby fixing the front window at a certain angle.

[0029] The rotary adjustment device described above allows for quick switching between the unlocked and locked states simply by rotating the switching seat 3. In the locked state, reliable fixation is achieved through the mechanical interlock between the first rolling element 4 and the groove 11, completely avoiding the defects of easy loosening and cumbersome operation of traditional threaded connections, and significantly improving the convenience of adjustment and the long-term reliability of locking.

[0030] To further improve the stability of the device installed on the support rod 9 and prevent axial movement of the components, a limiting ring 5 is provided at the end of the switching seat 3 away from the fixed seat 1 in this embodiment. The limiting ring 5 is fixedly sleeved on the support rod 9 of the canopy, and its end face abuts against the corresponding end face of the switching seat 3.

[0031] Both the limiting ring 5 and the fixed seat 1 can be fixedly connected to the support rod 9 by bolts. The two can restrict the axial movement of the rotating seat 2 and the switching seat 3 on the support rod 9, ensuring that each component always maintains the correct relative position during operation.

[0032] To provide a clear tactile feedback and aid positioning during rotation adjustment, the rotation adjustment device in this embodiment also includes a second rolling element 6 and an elastic element (not shown in the figure). A dedicated receiving groove 22 is machined on the rotating base 2, and both the second rolling element 6 and the elastic element are installed within this receiving groove 22. The elastic element can typically be a compression spring, which consistently applies a force to the second rolling element 6, causing the second rolling element 6 to protrude outward and press against the groove 11 on the inner sidewall of the fixed base 1.

[0033] When the rotating seat 2 rotates relative to the fixed seat 1, the second rolling element 6, under the action of the elastic element, slides into and out of the corresponding grooves 11 on the inner wall of the fixed seat 1 in sequence. This process produces a slight clicking sound and a change in feel, providing the user with clear tactile and auditory feedback. This tactile feedback not only enhances the feel of operation but, more importantly, helps the user perceive the rotation angle, enabling more precise adjustments. Simultaneously, it provides a certain degree of damping to the rotating seat 2 in the unlocked state, preventing it from sliding freely.

[0034] To facilitate the operator in rotating the switching seat 3 back and forth between the set locking and unlocking positions, thereby quickly switching between the locking and unlocking states, this embodiment provides a limiting structure between the switching seat 3 and the rotating seat 2. The limiting structure includes a protrusion 32 on the switching seat 3 and a limiting groove (not shown in the figure) on the rotating seat 2. The movement range of the protrusion 32 within the limiting groove corresponds to the rotation range of the switching seat 3 between the locking and unlocking positions.

[0035] The protrusion 32 is embedded in the limiting groove and can slide within it. The arc length of the limiting groove is precisely designed so that its two ends correspond exactly to the locking and unlocking positions of the switching seat 3. When the user rotates the switching seat 3, the protrusion 32 moves within the limiting groove and is blocked once it reaches the end of the groove, thus strictly limiting the rotation range of the switching seat 3 to the angle required for the function. This structure is simple and reliable, effectively preventing misoperation and improving the service life and safety of the device.

[0036] To facilitate user operation of the switching base 3 for state switching, this embodiment provides an operating handle 7 on the outer periphery of the switching base 3. The operating handle 7 extends radially outward from the outer surface of the switching base 3, forming a force-applying part that is easy to pinch or flick with the fingers.

[0037] To achieve an effective connection between the rotating base 2 and the front opening window of the canopy, a connecting rod 8 is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating base 2 in this embodiment. One end of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 2, and the other end is connected to the support tube of the front opening window. Specifically, the connecting rod 8 can extend into the support tube of the front opening window, and the two are fixed together by bolts.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
