Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sunroof accessory structures, specifically a universal bracket for a rear-mounted sunroof motor. Background Technology

[0002] A sunroof is a supporting device for controlling the opening and closing of a car's sunroof. A sunroof is a large glass panel covering the entire roof of the vehicle. This design primarily aims to increase interior lighting and improve the driving experience, as its larger area allows more sunlight to enter the cabin, increasing brightness. Currently, some car manufacturers do not include sunroofs in the factory, requiring them to be added as an option or aftermarket installation. Electric sunroofs are driven by a motor and a flexible shaft; the motor moves the flexible shaft to open and close the sunroof.

[0003] Currently, sunroof motors on the market are installed on the roof using motor brackets. Sunroof drive motor brackets for both OEMs and the aftermarket can be categorized into two types: 1. One-piece stamped steel brackets; 2. Injection-molded crossbeam structures that integrate the motor locking structure. For the automotive aftermarket, space constraints necessitate the development of new motor brackets for different models equipped with electric sunroofs. Developing new motor bracket molds presents challenges due to long development cycles and high costs. Utility Model Content

[0011] The first connecting hole is a round hole or a strip hole.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: High versatility and adaptability: The system employs a split design with a first and second bracket. The first bracket is specifically designed for connecting the motor, and its first mounting boss can be standardized to accommodate the mounting hole positions of different motors, achieving universal compatibility with various motor models. The second bracket serves as a transition piece connecting to the vehicle's roof; its angle is adjustable, and its position can be fine-tuned through designs such as slotted holes. This allows the entire bracket system to flexibly adapt to the installation environment of different vehicle roofs, greatly improving the product's versatility and adaptability.

[0013] Easy installation and accurate positioning: The first bracket is equipped with a special first mounting boss that corresponds to the mounting holes on the motor, which plays a role in pre-positioning. This allows for quick and accurate alignment during motor installation, effectively improving installation efficiency and ensuring stability after installation.

[0014] The structure is flexible and easy to adjust: a notch is provided at the connection between the first and second mounting plates of the second bracket, which facilitates manual adjustment according to the actual installation space and angle requirements, simplifying the adjustment process. Meanwhile, the first connecting hole on the second mounting plate can be designed as a strip hole, which, in conjunction with the second connecting hole on the first bracket, provides fine-tuning capability for the installation position, further enhancing the bracket's adaptability to different installation conditions.

[0015] Cost-effective and widely applicable: The standardized design reduces the mold-making and production costs associated with specific brackets required for different vehicle models or motors, facilitating mass production and management. Its simple and practical structure makes it suitable for installing rear-mounted sunroof motors.

[0016] In summary, this universal bracket, through its split-adjustable and universally compatible design, successfully solves the installation difficulties of sunroof motors in the aftermarket caused by differences in models and vehicle types, and has significant advantages such as convenient installation, strong adaptability, and reliable connection.
