[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a sunshade mechanism for a vehicle sunroof, including a handle component 100, a connector 200, a moving component 300, and a sunshade 400. One end of the sunshade 400 is connected to the handle component 100, and the other end is connected to a roller (not shown in the figure). The roller is connected to a winding machine, which can wind the sunshade 400 onto the roller and drive the handle component 100 to move, thereby opening the sunroof. The connector 200 and the moving component 300 are provided on both sides of the handle component 100. The moving component 300 is connected to the handle component 100 and the connecting component 200 on both sides. The connector 200 is connected to the side of the sunshade 400 to form a connecting part. The connecting part extends a certain distance along the length of the sunshade 400. This distance can be set according to the actual situation. The extended connecting part ensures the fixing effect on the side of the sunshade 400. The end of the sunshade 400 is fixed by the handle component 100, and the two sides of the sunshade 400 are fixed by the connector 200, so as to form a U-shaped positioning for the end and two sides of the sunshade 400, ensuring the overall flatness of the sunshade 400 and ensuring that the sunshade 400 can be rolled up or opened normally.

[0020] The handle component 100 includes a handle 101 and an elastic shaft 102. The elastic shaft 102 is made of elastic steel wire, which can better adapt to the shape of the handle 101. The handle 101 is provided with a first positioning groove 1011, and the elastic shaft 102 is located in the first positioning groove 1011. The first positioning groove 1011 is an arc shape with an opening on one side to ensure the locking effect of the elastic shaft 102. The length of the elastic shaft 102 corresponds to the width of the sunshade 400. The sunshade 400 covers the elastic shaft 102 to ensure the fixed support effect of the sunshade 400 and solve the problem of wrinkles in the sunshade 400. Furthermore, the first positioning groove 1011 is located at the upper end of the handle 101. After the end of the sunshade 400 is fixed in the first positioning groove 1011 by the elastic shaft 102, the sunshade 400 wraps around from the upper end of the handle 101 to the lower end of the handle 101, and then connects to the roller after wrapping the handle 101. See [reference needed]. Figure 3 As shown, since the visible area below the handle 101 is covered by the sunshade 400, the handle 101 itself is not exposed, which further reduces the process and appearance requirements of the handle 101 and can further reduce the production and manufacturing costs.

[0021] Furthermore, the handle 101 is provided with a second positioning groove 1012, and the support block 302 of the moving component 300 is provided with a second locking block 3021, which is engaged in the second positioning groove 1012. Furthermore, the second positioning groove 1012 is arranged adjacent to the first positioning groove 1011, and the second locking block 3021 presses against the top of the first positioning groove 1011, further ensuring that the elastic shaft 102 is stably limited within the first positioning groove 1011, preventing it from dislodging, and ensuring that the sunshade 400 is always in a taut state, thus ensuring the flatness of the sunshade 400.

[0022] The handle 101 is made of aluminum and is a double-curved handle. The handle 101 is curved in both the X and Z directions, which further keeps the sunshade 400 taut, ensuring the overall flatness of the sunshade 400, increasing the view of the skylight, making the skylight more aesthetically pleasing, and improving user satisfaction.

[0023] Specifically, the connector 200 includes a connecting block with multiple pre-drilled pinholes 202. These pre-drilled pinholes 202 are spaced apart along the length of the sunshade 400, and the sunshade 400 is connected to the pre-drilled pinholes 202 via stitching. The stitching secures the sunshade 400 to both sides, ensuring a firm fixation while reducing space requirements and creating a more compact overall structure. The connector 200 is made of plastic, providing support for the sunshade 400 and facilitating the drilling of holes to stitch it to the sunshade 400, thus reducing operational difficulty.

[0024] The connector 200 includes a first locking block 201, and the moving component 300 includes a support block 302. The support block 302 has a slot 3022, and the first locking block 201 is engaged in the slot 3022. This design prevents loosening or slippage, ensures a secure connection, and simplifies operation.

[0025] The movable component 300 includes a guide slider 301 located outside the support block 302. The guide slider 301 is slidably mounted within the sunroof track, which uses an existing structure. The guide slider 301 is connected to the flexible shaft 500 of the sunroof, which is connected to the sunroof motor. When the sunroof motor moves the flexible shaft 500, it moves the guide slider 301 and the connector 200, thereby causing the sunshade 400 to unfold from the roller, thus closing the sunshade 400 on the sunroof. The sunroof motor uses existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0026] In this embodiment, the guide slider 301 is tubular and has multiple viewing ports arranged along its length. The flexible shaft 500 is inserted into the guide slider 301 within the tubular body, facilitating installation. The viewing ports reduce the weight of the guide slider 301, making it easier to move, and allow observation of the flexible shaft 500's installation, ensuring it is properly positioned and preventing separation between the flexible shaft 500 and the guide slider 301.

[0027] Furthermore, an elastic zone 303 is provided between the guide slider 301 and the support block 302, and the elastic zone 303 is an upwardly convex arch. When the moving component 300 is squeezed from both ends, the arched structure of the elastic zone 303 will automatically flatten; when the moving component 300 is not squeezed, the arched structure will automatically arch back. By setting the elastic zone 303, the sliding force of the moving component 300 when sliding in the sunroof track can be adjusted, ensuring that the moving component 300 can move normally, thereby ensuring that the sunshade 400 can be opened or closed normally.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
