Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sightseeing vehicle technology, specifically relating to a retractable canopy device for sightseeing vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Sightseeing vehicles are a type of shuttle bus that is generally powered by batteries. Using batteries to generate power is environmentally friendly and pollution-free, making effective use of resources. Sightseeing vehicles are also easy and convenient to drive, and the electric power is recyclable and has a long lifespan. They are widely used in hotels, scenic spots, real estate sales vehicles, factories, airports, train stations, bus stations, docks, stadiums, parks and other places.

[0003] Most sightseeing vehicles have roofs that can provide shade and rain protection. However, most existing sightseeing vehicle roofs are made as a single unit with the roof support frame. This makes it difficult to adjust the roof storage to meet the diverse needs of passengers, and also makes it difficult to disassemble and replace the roof after cleaning or damage. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model addresses the problem that most existing sightseeing vehicle roofs are made as a single unit with the roof support frame. This makes it difficult to adjust the roof for different needs to meet diverse passenger requirements, and also makes it difficult to disassemble and replace the roof after cleaning or damage. The invention provides a retractable roof device for sightseeing vehicles. By driving the roof panel to slide to the rear of the sightseeing vehicle, the roof panel is disengaged from the limiting mechanism, and a plug is inserted into the insertion hole. Then, a rotating rod is driven to rotate the roof panel, allowing it to be retracted at the rear of the sightseeing vehicle. Additionally, the plug can be pulled out or inserted into the rotating rod as needed to disassemble and assemble the roof panel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A retractable roof panel device for sightseeing vehicles includes two vertical rods fixedly mounted above the vehicle. A roof panel is slidably mounted on the upper side of the two vertical rods. A strip-shaped groove is formed on the upper side of each vertical rod. A slider is fixedly mounted on the lower front side of the roof panel, and the slider is slidably positioned within the corresponding strip-shaped groove. A first driving mechanism is provided within each strip-shaped groove to drive the slider to slide back and forth. A limiting mechanism is also provided on the vertical rods to limit the vertical movement of the roof panel. The distance between the limiting mechanism and the rear sidewall of the strip-shaped groove is greater than the length of the slider. A rotating rod is rotatably connected between the rear ends of the longitudinal rods. One end of the rotating rod is connected to a second driving mechanism for driving the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod has multiple insertion holes. An insertion rod is fixedly installed on the lower front side of the canopy panel. The insertion rod corresponds to the insertion hole. When the slider is behind the limiting mechanism, the insertion rod is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole. The first driving mechanism drives the canopy panel to slide backward until the insertion rod is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole, and the slider disengages from the limiting mechanism. Then, the second driving mechanism drives the rotating rod to rotate the canopy panel. At this time, the canopy panel is vertically hung on the rotating rod and stored behind the sightseeing vehicle.

[0006] Preferably, the first driving mechanism includes a first motor and a screw. The first motor is fixedly installed at the front end of the strip groove. One end of the screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rear side wall of the corresponding strip groove. A first groove is provided on the lower side of the slider. The first groove passes through the slider from front to back and is threadedly connected to the upper part of the screw. The first motor drives the screw to rotate, thereby moving the slider back and forth and moving the ceiling panel back and forth.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes limiting strips, and limiting strips are fixedly provided on both side walls of the strip groove. Limiting grooves matching the limiting strips are opened on both sides of the slider. The limiting strips pass through the corresponding limiting grooves front and back. The distance between the limiting strips and the rear side wall of the corresponding strip grooves is greater than the length of the slider. The limiting strips and limiting grooves cooperate to prevent the slider from moving up and down. When the slider moves to the rear of the limiting strips, the slider can disengage from the strip grooves.

[0008] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly installed on the lower front side of the ceiling panel, and an insertion rod is fixedly installed on the rear side of the baffle. The insertion rod is fixed by the baffle to ensure that it corresponds to the insertion hole.

[0009] Preferably, the second driving mechanism is a second motor, and the second motor is fixedly installed at the rear end of the longitudinal rod. The output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the rotating rod, and the second motor can drive the rotation.

[0010] Preferably, a crossbar is fixedly connected between the front ends of the two longitudinal bars, and the crossbar is located on the upper side of the vehicle's windshield.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are as follows: 1. This utility model uses a first driving mechanism to drive the canopy panel to slide back and forth. After sliding until it is out of the limit mechanism, the insert rod is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole. The second driving mechanism drives the rotating rod to rotate the canopy panel to a vertical position. At this time, the canopy panel is located behind the sightseeing vehicle and is hung on the rotating rod by the insert rod, thus realizing the storage of the canopy panel.

[0012] 2. When the ceiling panel of this utility model is in the storage state, it is hung on the rotating rod by the insertion rod. If it needs to be disassembled for cleaning or replacement, simply lift the ceiling panel upwards to disengage the insertion rod from the insertion hole. During installation, simply insert the insertion rod on the ceiling panel into the corresponding insertion hole on the rotating rod. Disassembly and assembly are convenient and quick.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figures 1-12 As shown, this embodiment provides a retractable roof panel device for sightseeing vehicles, including two vertical rods 1 fixedly mounted above the vehicle. The vertical rods 1 are mounted on the sightseeing vehicle via support rods fixedly connected below (not shown in the figure). A roof panel 2 is slidably mounted on top of the two vertical rods 1. A strip groove 3 is formed on the upper side of each vertical rod 1. A slider 4 is fixedly mounted on the lower front end of the roof panel 2. The slider 4 is slidably mounted within the corresponding strip groove 3. A first driving mechanism is provided within the strip groove 3. The first driving mechanism drives the slider 4 to slide back and forth. A driving mechanism includes a first motor 8 and a screw 9. The first motor 8 is fixedly installed at the front end of the strip groove 3. One end of the screw 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 8, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rear side wall of the corresponding strip groove 3. A first groove 10 is provided on the lower side of the slider 4. The first groove 10 passes through the slider 4 from front to back and is threadedly connected to the upper part of the screw 9. The first motor 8 drives the screw 9 to rotate, causing the slider 4 to slide back and forth in the strip groove 3. The lower end of the first groove 10 passes through the bottom of the slider 4, so the slider 4 can be moved upward to separate it from the screw 9.

[0027] The longitudinal rod 1 is also provided with a limiting mechanism to limit the vertical movement of the ceiling panel 2. The distance between the limiting mechanism and the rear side wall of the strip groove 3 is greater than the length of the slider 4. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting strip 11. The limiting strip 11 is fixedly provided on both side walls of the strip groove 3. The slider 4 has limiting grooves 12 on both sides that match the limiting strip 11. The limiting strip 11 passes through the corresponding limiting groove 12 from front to back. Through the sliding cooperation between the limiting strip 11 and the limiting groove 12, the slider 4 is guided to slide back and forth on the one hand, and the vertical movement of the slider 4 is limited on the other hand, so as to prevent the slider 4 from disengaging from the screw 9 when the slider 4 drives the ceiling panel 2 to move back and forth, thus ensuring the threaded connection between the slider 4 and the screw 9. The distance between the limiting strip 11 and the rear side wall of the corresponding strip groove 3 is greater than the length of the slider 4. When the slider 4 moves to the rear of the limiting strip 11, the slider 4 can move up and down to disengage from the screw 9.

[0028] A rotating rod 5 is rotatably mounted between the rear ends of the two longitudinal rods 1. One end of the rotating rod 5 is connected to a second driving mechanism for driving the rotating rod 5 to rotate. The second driving mechanism is a second motor. The second motor is fixedly mounted at the rear end of the longitudinal rod 1, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5. The second motor drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate. The rotating rod 5 has multiple insertion holes 6. An insertion rod 7 is fixedly mounted on the lower front side of the ceiling panel 2. Specifically, a baffle 13 is fixedly mounted on the lower front side of the ceiling panel 2, and the insertion rod 7 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the baffle 13. The insertion rod 7 is connected to the insertion hole 6. The holes 6 are corresponding front and back, that is, each of the inserted rods 7 corresponds to one of the inserted holes 6. When the slider 4 drives the canopy plate 2 to move backward, it drives the baffle 13 and the inserted rods 7 to move backward. When the slider 4 is behind the limiting mechanism, the inserted rods 7 are inserted into the corresponding inserted holes 6. That is, when the slider 4 is behind the limiting strip 11 and the limiting groove 12 is separated from the limiting strip 11, the inserted rods 7 are inserted into the corresponding inserted holes 6. At this time, the second motor drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate, driving the canopy plate 2 to rotate, rotating the canopy plate 2 to a vertical state and storing it behind the sightseeing vehicle, realizing the switching of the canopy plate 2 to the storage state.

[0029] As one possible implementation, in the folded state, the rear end of the sightseeing vehicle is fixedly engaged with the roof panel 2 to prevent vibrations caused by the roof panel 2 moving up and down due to bumps during the sightseeing vehicle's operation.

[0030] As one possible implementation, the free end of the insertion rod 7 extends to the rear end below the canopy panel 2, ensuring that the insertion rod 7 passes through the corresponding insertion hole 6 during the sliding process of the canopy panel 2, thus ensuring the stability of the canopy panel 2 when it is in a horizontal state above the sightseeing vehicle 2.

[0031] A crossbar 14 is fixedly connected between the front ends of the two longitudinal bars 1. The crossbar 14 is located on the upper side of the windshield of the vehicle. The rectangular frame formed by the crossbar 14, the two longitudinal bars 1, and the rotating bar 5 ensures the stability of the roof panel 2 during installation and the supporting structure below. At the same time, the lower part of the crossbar 14 is slotted to limit the upper end of the windshield of the sightseeing vehicle.

[0032] In normal use, the canopy panel 2 is located on the vertical rod 1 above the sightseeing vehicle. Its front end is limited by the limiting grooves 12 at both ends of the slider 4 and the limiting strip 11. Its rear end is limited by the insertion rod 7 inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 7, ensuring the installation stability of the canopy panel 2 under normal conditions.

[0033] Switching from normal state to storage state: When the ceiling panel 2 needs to be stored to obtain better lighting or view, the first motor 8 drives the screw 9 to rotate, causing the slider 4 to slide backward, which in turn causes the ceiling panel 2 to slide backward. When the slider 4 disengages from the limiting strip 11 (e.g., Figure 11As shown), the first motor 8 stops working, the second motor starts, driving the rotating rod 5 to rotate (the insertion rod 7 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 6), causing the canopy panel 2 to rotate around the rotating rod 5 until the canopy panel 2 is vertically stored at the rear of the sightseeing vehicle (the stored state is as shown). Figure 12 (As shown in the diagram, the sightseeing vehicle is not shown.)

[0034] When it is necessary to remove the ceiling panel 2 for cleaning or replacement, retract the cable to adjust the ceiling panel 2 to its unretracted state (e.g., ...). Figure 12 (As shown), then lift the ceiling panel 2 upwards, pull the insert rod 7 out of the insertion hole 6 and disengage it from the rotating rod 5 to remove the ceiling panel 2. When installing, align the insert rod 7 on the cleaned or new ceiling panel 2 with the insertion hole 6, and then insert the insert rod 7 into the corresponding insertion hole 6 to install the ceiling panel 2.

[0035] Switching from storage state to normal state: Start the second motor, drive the rotating rod 5 to rotate the canopy panel 2 in the opposite direction until the canopy panel 2 is horizontal. At this time, the slider 4 enters the corresponding strip groove 3 and connects with the corresponding screw 9 (that is, the inner side of the first groove 10 is in contact with the screw 9). Then the first motor 8 drives the screw 9 to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the slider 4, the canopy panel 2 and the baffle 13 to move forward until the canopy panel 2 is directly above the sightseeing vehicle.

Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the patent claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
