In addition, if terms such as "first" or "second" appear, they are also used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "connector" 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 between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in light of the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0030] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0031] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a vehicle roof structure that improves the overall quality of the vehicle.

[0032] In related technologies, the rear trim panel 200 is a part used to decorate and protect the rear of a car. It is usually set on the outer panel 100 of the roof. Specifically, the upper part of the rear trim panel 200 is connected to the outer panel 100 of the roof, and the lower part of the rear trim panel 200 is connected to a downwardly extending mounting plate 102 located at the rear edge of the outer panel 100 of the roof.

[0033] However, due to the obstruction of the internal structure of the vehicle body, the outer roof panel 100 cannot meet the requirement of using installation tools from the inside of the vehicle to install the lower part of the rear trim panel 200 onto the mounting plate 102. This makes it difficult to install the lower part of the rear trim panel 200, affecting the assembly efficiency and accuracy of the vehicle body's top structure. This is not conducive to ensuring the overall assembly efficiency and aesthetic appearance of the vehicle, and thus is not conducive to improving the overall quality of the vehicle.

[0034] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the related technology, the vehicle roof structure of this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 17 As shown, the overall design includes a top cover outer panel 100 and a rear trim panel 200, as well as a mounting bracket 300 disposed between the top cover outer panel 100 and the rear trim panel 200.

[0035] The top cover outer panel 100 has an outer panel body 101 and a mounting plate 102 extending downward from the rear edge of the outer panel body 101. The mounting bracket 300 is connected to the mounting plate 102, and the lower part of the rear trim panel 200 is snapped together with the mounting bracket 300.

[0036] Therefore, by setting a downwardly extending mounting plate 102 on the rear edge of the outer panel body 101 in the roof outer panel 100, and setting a mounting bracket 300 on the mounting plate 102 to engage with the lower part of the rear trim panel 200, the lower part of the rear trim panel 200 can be installed in a snap-fit ​​manner. This allows for convenient installation and removal of the lower part of the rear trim panel 200 without the need for installation tools. This solves the problem in traditional technology that the lower part of the rear trim panel 200 cannot be installed on the mounting plate 102 from the inside of the vehicle using installation tools. This helps to ensure the overall assembly efficiency and accuracy of the vehicle body roof structure, maintain the aesthetic appearance, and thus improve the overall quality of the vehicle.

[0037] Based on the above overview, specifically, let's continue to combine... Figure 1 , Figures 6 to 8 ,as well as Figure 14 , Figure 15 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the rear of the outer panel body 101 is formed with a recessed portion that is connected to the upper part of the rear trim panel 200. This recessed portion is mainly used to reduce the height of the upper part of the rear trim panel 200 so that the rear trim panel 200 can be adapted to the roof of the vehicle body, thus avoiding uneven height of the vehicle body roof.

[0038] Since there are conditions for installing the upper part of the rear trim panel 200 using installation tools on the roof of the vehicle, considering the need for convenient disassembly and assembly and reliable connection, in some exemplary embodiments, the recessed part of the outer panel body 101 is screwed to the upper part of the rear trim panel 200. That is, a first screw hole 1011 is provided on the recessed part, and a screw hole is provided on the rear trim panel 200. At this time, the connection between the recessed part and the upper part of the rear trim panel 200 can be achieved by screwing the screw member 800 through the first screw hole 1011 into the screw hole.

[0039] Continue to combine Figure 1 , Figures 6 to 8 ,as well as Figure 14 , Figure 15 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the vehicle body in which the roof structure of this embodiment is located includes a tailgate located below the rear trim panel 200, a rear windshield glass assembly 500 disposed on the tailgate, and D-pillar exterior trim panels 400 disposed on both sides of the rear windshield glass assembly 500 along the left and right directions of the vehicle, and the top of the window frame sealing strip 600 in the rear windshield glass assembly 500 is sealed to the bottom of the rear trim panel 200.

[0040] Meanwhile, other related structural parts in the vehicle body not mentioned can refer to the vehicle body structure known to those skilled in the art. For example, it also includes a tailgate stop sealing strip 700 installed on the bottom of the outer panel 100 of the roof (that is, the bottom of the mounting plate 102), that is, a stop is formed at the bottom of the outer panel 100 of the roof to install the top of the tailgate stop sealing strip 700.

[0041] It should be mentioned here that if the mounting bracket 300 is not configured in this embodiment, then while meeting the design requirements of good sealing by minimizing interference with the window frame sealing strip 600, the rear trim panel 200 would need to extend towards the mounting plate 102 and have a downward tilting tendency to meet the demolding requirements of the rear trim panel 200. This would cause the stop of the mounting back door stop sealing strip 700 to shift downwards to meet the assembly requirements of the rear trim panel 200, affecting the size of the back door opening. Therefore, the setting of the mounting bracket 300 in this embodiment not only helps to solve the problem of the lower part of the rear trim panel 200 being difficult to disassemble and assemble, but also avoids the problem of the back door opening shrinking.

[0042] It should be noted that, taking the vehicle containing the roof structure described in this application as an example, the directional terms used in the embodiments, such as "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," and "rear," are defined based on the vehicle's vertical direction (also known as the height direction, or the vehicle's Z-direction), horizontal direction (also known as the width direction, or the vehicle's Y-direction), and front-back direction (also known as the length direction, or the vehicle's X-direction). "Inner" and "outer" are defined based on the outline of the corresponding component. For example, "inner" and "outer" are defined based on the vehicle's outline, with the side of the vehicle outline closer to the middle of the vehicle being "inner," and vice versa.

[0043] In some exemplary embodiments, the outer panel body 101 and the mounting plate 102 are integrally formed. The main advantage of this arrangement is that it can improve the overall molding quality of the top cover outer panel 100 and ensure its good structural strength, while also reducing manufacturing costs.

[0044] In addition, continue to combine Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the rear trim panel 200 includes a trim panel body 201 and a trim panel frame 202. The lower part of the trim panel frame 202 is connected to the mounting bracket 300 via a snap-fit ​​assembly. Meanwhile, in some exemplary embodiments, the upper part of the trim panel frame 202 is connected to the outer panel body 101 via a screw-on structure.

[0045] The rear trim panel 200 includes a trim panel body 201 and a trim panel frame 202, which ensures that the rear trim panel 200 has good overall structural strength. At the same time, the lower part of the trim panel frame 202 is connected to the mounting bracket 300 through a snap-fit ​​assembly, and the upper part of the trim panel frame 202 is connected to the outer panel body 101 through a screw connection structure. This allows for convenient installation and removal of the lower part of the rear trim panel 200 on the mounting bracket 300, and ensures the overall installation stability of the rear trim panel 200. It also avoids the need to open an installation structure on the trim panel body 201, thereby ensuring that the rear trim panel 200 has a good appearance.

[0046] In specific implementation, we will continue to combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 15 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the recessed portion of the outer panel body 101 is screwed to the upper portion of the rear trim panel 200, that is, the upper portion of the trim panel frame 202 and the outer panel body 101 are connected by a screwed structure, which includes the screw member 800, the first screw through hole 1011 and the screw hole matching the first screw through hole 1011. The screw hole can be formed on the nut 2027 of the trim panel frame 202, and the nut 2027 can be mounted on the mounting base 2026 provided on the trim panel frame 202.

[0047] The advantage of this design is that it not only facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the outer panel body 101 and the trim frame 202, but also avoids drilling holes or setting screw structures on the trim body 201, thereby avoiding affecting the overall exquisite appearance of the rear trim 200.

[0048] Of course, the number of screw connections between the upper part of the trim frame 202 and the outer panel body 101 can be set and adjusted according to the actual connection requirements of the two. For example, the screw connections can be arranged at intervals of four or five along the left and right direction of the vehicle. At the same time, in this embodiment, it is not limited that the upper part of the trim frame 202 and the outer panel body 101 can only be connected by a screw connection structure. If necessary, a connection form such as snap-fit ​​can also be used.

[0049] Meanwhile, in some exemplary embodiments, the trim panel body 201 and the trim panel frame 202 can be connected by a combination of screwing and adhesive bonding to ensure the stability of the connection. When using a screwing connection, for example, a third screw post 2015 can be provided on the trim panel body 201, and a fourth screw through hole can be provided on the trim panel frame 202. Thus, the screwing operation is completed by the screwing member 800 passing through the fourth screw through hole and screwing onto the third screw post 2015.

[0050] Continue to combine Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 16 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a snap fastener 2021 located at the lower part of the trim panel frame 202 and a snap-fit ​​hole 3011 located on the mounting bracket 300, the snap fastener 2021 snapping into the snap-fit ​​hole 3011. Here, the combination of the snap fastener 2021 and the snap-fit ​​hole 3011 results in a simple structure, facilitating the fabrication and implementation of the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0051] At the same time, continue to combine Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the lower part of the decorative panel frame 202 is provided with a first positioning post 2022, and the mounting bracket 300 is provided with a first positioning hole 3012, and the first positioning post 2022 is inserted into the first positioning hole 3012.

[0052] The first positioning post 2022 and the first positioning hole 3012 are designed to facilitate the positioning and assembly of the decorative panel frame 202 onto the mounting bracket 300, which helps to ensure installation accuracy and improve installation convenience.

[0053] In practice, the number and arrangement of the first positioning post 2022 and the first positioning hole 3012 can be set and adjusted according to the actual connection requirements between the lower part of the trim frame 202 and the mounting bracket 300. For example, the first positioning post 2022 and the first positioning hole 3012 can be arranged in three or four sets at intervals along the left and right directions of the whole vehicle.

[0054] Furthermore, the number and arrangement of the aforementioned snap-fit ​​components can be set and adjusted according to the actual positioning requirements between the lower part of the trim frame 202 and the mounting bracket 300. For example, five or six snap-fit ​​components can be arranged at intervals along the left and right directions of the vehicle.

[0055] Continue to combine Figure 2 , Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the mounting bracket 300 includes a bracket body 301 disposed on the mounting plate 102, and a mounting flange 302 is provided on the top of the bracket body 301. Furthermore, the bracket body 301 is connected to the mounting plate 102, and the mounting flange 302 is connected to the outer plate body 101.

[0056] It can be understood that by setting the mounting flange 302, the mounting bracket 300 and the outer plate body 101 can be connected. Based on the connection between the mounting bracket 300 and the mounting plate 102, the installation stability of the mounting bracket 300 can be improved.

[0057] Continue to combine Figures 9 to 12 ,as well as Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the trim frame 202 is provided with a guide groove 2025, and the mounting flange 302 is provided with a guide plate 3023. The guide plate 3023 is located at the connection position between the mounting flange 302 and the outer panel body 101, and the guide plate 3023 is inserted into the guide groove 2025.

[0058] By setting a guide groove 2025 on the trim frame 202 and a guide plate 3023 on the mounting flange 302, the guide plate 3023 is inserted into the guide groove 2025, which can realize the guiding installation of the trim frame 202 and facilitate the alignment of the upper part of the trim frame 202 and the screw connection point between the outer panel body 101, so as to realize quick screw connection, thereby improving the installation convenience of the rear trim 200. In addition, the guide plate 3023 is located at the connection position between the mounting flange 302 and the outer panel body 101, and can also play the role of supporting the trim frame 202, which helps to ensure the overall assembly accuracy of the rear trim 200.

[0059] In addition, continue to combine Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the trim panel body 201 and the bracket body 301 are provided with snap-fit ​​structures adapted to snap-fit ​​the D-pillar exterior trim panel 400.

[0060] By providing snap-fit ​​structures on the trim panel body 201 and the bracket body 301 to be suitable for snapping the D-pillar outer trim panel 400, the functions of the trim panel body 201 and the bracket body 301 can be enriched, and the assembly accuracy between the rear trim panel 200 and the D-pillar outer trim panel 400 can also be guaranteed.

[0061] In specific implementations, in some exemplary embodiments, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a trim panel snap-fit ​​hole 2011 on the trim panel body 201 and a bracket snap-fit ​​hole 3015 on the bracket body 301. A first clip 401 and a second clip 402 are provided on the outer trim panel 400 of the D-pillar. The first clip 401 snaps into the trim panel snap-fit ​​hole 2011 and the second clip 402 snaps into the bracket snap-fit ​​hole 3015.

[0062] Continue to combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 14 to 16 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the bracket body 301 and the mounting plate 102, as well as the mounting flange 302 and the outer panel body 101, are all screwed together. This ensures the installation reliability of the mounting bracket 300, thereby facilitating the installation reliability of the rear trim panel 200.

[0063] In specific implementation, the bracket body 301 is provided with a second screw hole 3013, and the mounting plate 102 is provided with a first screw post 1021. The screw connector 800 passes through the second screw hole 3013 and is screwed onto the first screw post 1021, thereby realizing the connection between the bracket body 301 and the mounting plate 102.

[0064] In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting flange 302 includes a base plate 3021 that follows the contour of the rear of the top cover outer panel 100. The top of the base plate 3021 and the recessed portion of the outer panel body 101 can be connected by a screw connection. Specifically, a third screw hole 3024 can be provided on the base plate 3021, and a second screw post can be provided on the inner side of the outer panel body 101. The screw member 800 passes through the third screw hole 3024 and is screwed onto the second screw post of the outer panel body 101, thereby forming a screw connection between the base plate 3021 and the outer panel body 101.

[0065] Meanwhile, a support plate 3022 is provided at the screw connection point between the base plate 3021 and the outer plate body 101. The support plate 3022 extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. In the left-right direction of the vehicle, the support plate 3022 is located on the side of the screw connection point facing the middle of the bracket body 301. The guide plate 3023 is provided on the top of the support plate 3022 and extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0066] Continue to combine Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, an "L-shaped" fixing plate 2023 is provided on the trim frame 202 at the position corresponding to the guide plate 3023. The aforementioned guide groove 2025 is formed between the fixing plate 2023 and the trim frame 202.
