[0027] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a flip-up skylight is provided. In this embodiment, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the skylight includes a window body 1, a screen, a drive assembly, and a self-cleaning assembly. The window body 1 and the screen are designed as separate units. The drive assembly can control the window body 1 to rise and fall independently or to rise and fall synchronously with the screen. When the window body 1 rises and falls, the cleaning part of the self-cleaning assembly moves synchronously along the window body 1 to achieve automatic cleaning. The specific structure of each of the above-mentioned parts of the flip-up skylight according to this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0028] In this embodiment, the window 1 is formed as a conventional cuboid structure, with its first end along its length rotatably connected to the vehicle body via a pivot. This structure is a standard feature of existing sunroofs, so its specific fit will not be described in detail. Furthermore, the screen in this embodiment includes a window frame 21 and a mesh screen 22. The window frame 21 is correspondingly positioned around the side of the window 1, so that when the screen and window 1 are raised and lowered synchronously, the screen can achieve all-around protection.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the window frame 21 has a first side bar 211, a second side bar 212, and a third side bar 213 connected in sequence. The first side bar 211 and the third side bar 213 are located at the two ends of the width direction of the window body 1 and are parallel to the length direction of the window body 1. The second side bar 212 is located at the second end of the length direction of the window body 1 and is perpendicular to the length direction of the window body 1. In addition, the ends of the first side bar 211 and the third side bar 213 away from the second side bar 212 (i.e., the two ends of the window frame 21) are provided with buckles 23. The buckles 23 are formed into a C-shaped structure and are correspondingly fastened to the outer side of the pivot. Along the axial direction of the pivot, the window body 1 is positioned between the two buckles 23 to realize the enclosure of the window frame 21 around the window body 1. That is to say, the window frame 21 is engaged with the pivot through the buckles 23, realizing the detachable connection between the screen and the vehicle body, which facilitates the cleaning or maintenance of the screen.

[0030] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the stability of the connection between the window frame 21 and the pivot, the opening of the buckle 23 should be smaller than the outer diameter of the pivot to prevent the window frame 21 from coming off. In addition, a gap must be formed between the buckle 23 and the pivot so that the pivot can rotate relative to the window frame 21, that is, the pivot can only drive the window body 1 to rotate. However, there are no restrictions on the specific specifications of the buckle 23, as long as the above technical effects can be achieved.

[0031] In this embodiment, the drive component is located at the second end of the length direction of the window 1 and connected to the vehicle body. Specifically, it includes a telescopic member 31 connected to the vehicle body (in this embodiment, the telescopic member 31 is formed as a hydraulic cylinder, or it can also be formed as a pneumatic lever, etc.). The retracted end of the telescopic member 31 (i.e., the free end of the telescopic rod of the hydraulic rod) is provided with a swing member. By controlling the position of the swing member, the window 1 can be controlled to rise or fall independently. More specifically, the swing member includes a motor 32 and a swing block 33 fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the motor 32. The motor 32 is (fixedly) connected to the telescopic rod. The motor 32 can drive the swing block 33 to rotate (the rotation of the swing is actually a swing in the horizontal plane, and the drive shaft of the motor 32 is perpendicular to the aforementioned shaft), so that the swing block 33 contacts the window frame 21 and the window 1 simultaneously, or contacts the window 1 independently. In addition, although not shown in the figure, an extension platform is formed at the top opening of the vehicle body to support the window frame 21. When the window 1 rotates alone, a part of each side bar of the window frame 21 is supported by the extension platform, and the other part of each side bar is suspended in the air so that the swing block 33 can contact it and drive the window frame 21 to rotate.

[0032] It should be noted that there are no specific restrictions on the specifications of the window frame 21 and the swing block 33, as long as the aforementioned technical effects can be achieved. When the window 1 is in the closed state, the window 1 and the window frame 21 together provide a sealing effect for the vehicle body. Furthermore, the structure of the roof of existing automobiles is not fixed; for example, it can be set as an inclined structure, a horizontal structure, or a curved structure. Correspondingly, the structures of the window 1 and the window frame 21 are also not fixed. In this case, the corresponding structures of the window 1 and the window frame 21 can be flexibly adjusted according to the state of the vehicle's roof. In addition, since the actual thickness of the window 1 and the window frame 21 is relatively small, the gap at the connection between the two can be ignored when the window 1 and the window frame 21 are opened simultaneously.

[0033] It should be further explained that, in this embodiment, one end of the mesh 22 is fixed to the window frame 21, and the other end of the mesh 22 can be fixed to the vehicle body (the fixing position to the vehicle body is not limited, for example, it can be fixed to the inner side of the top of the vehicle body). Based on the soft material properties of the mesh 22, when the window frame 21 rises, it can drive the mesh 22 to automatically unfold, and when the window frame 21 falls back to its original position, it can drive the mesh 22 to automatically stack. The material of the mesh 22 can be determined according to the degree to which the window 1 can unfold. In this embodiment, a ball head 34 is also welded to the retractable end of the telescopic component 31, and the motor 32 mentioned above is connected to the ball head 34. In addition, the specific setting position of the drive component and its connection method with the vehicle body can adopt a similar structure and assembly method to existing automotive sunroofs, and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] Thus, when the motor 32 drives the swing block 33 to rotate to the first state position (i.e., when the swing block 33 is only in contact with the window 1), the telescopic member 31 can extend or retract to drive the window 1 to unfold or reset independently (e.g., Figures 1 to 2 As shown); when the motor 32 drives the swing block 33 to rotate to the second state position (that is, when the swing block 33 is in contact with both the window 1 and the window frame 21 at the same time), the telescopic member 31 can extend and retract to drive the window 1 and the screen to open or reset synchronously (as shown). Figures 3 to 4 (As shown in the figure). It should be noted that, although not shown in the figure, the fixed end of the telescopic component 31 can also be connected to the vehicle body through a rotating shaft, that is, the entire drive assembly can rotate synchronously, so that the extension angle of the telescopic component 31 can be flexibly adjusted, so that when the swing block 33 rotates to the first state position, it can always be in contact with the window 1 alone, and when the swing block 33 rotates to the second state position, it can always be in contact with the window 1 and the window frame 21 simultaneously.

[0035] It should be noted that the operation of the above-mentioned components, such as the rotation angle of the telescopic component 31, the extension and retraction of the telescopic component 31, and the swing of the swing block 33, are all controlled and adjusted by the control system. The above-mentioned technical effects can be achieved using the existing program, and the control process of the specific program will not be described in detail.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, a self-cleaning assembly is provided on the top of window 1 away from the vehicle body (i.e., on the side of window 1 located outside the vehicle). This self-cleaning assembly includes two limiting members 41 located at the top of window 1, distributed at both ends of window 1 in the width direction. Each limiting member 41 is formed in a cuboid shape and extends along the length direction of window 1. Furthermore, a cavity is formed inside each limiting member 41, and openings are formed on the facing sides of the two limiting members 41. The self-cleaning assembly also includes a spring 43 and a cleaning rod 42. Both ends of the cleaning rod 42 extend through corresponding openings into corresponding cavities. The spring 43 is provided in each cavity, and both ends of the spring 43 are fixed to the end of the cleaning rod 42 and the first end of the cavity in the length direction, respectively.

[0037] The aforementioned limiting member 41 can be fixed to the window 1 with adhesive, and the spring 43 can also be fixed to the cleaning rod 42 and the limiting member 41 by bonding. Furthermore, a cleaning strip is provided on the end face of the cleaning rod 42 facing the window 1, which adheres to the window 1 to form a cleaning section, thereby facilitating its cleaning function on the window 1. It should be noted that the opening of the limiting member 41 should be as close as possible to the window 1 to facilitate cleaning of the cleaning section. In addition, after the various components in the self-cleaning assembly are assembled, it should be ensured that the cleaning rod 42 only has freedom along the length of the window 1 to prevent the cleaning rod 42 from detaching from the opening.

[0038] When the window 1 is closed to the vehicle body, the spring 43 is in its natural state, and the cleaning rod 42 is located at the first end of the window 1 along its length. When the window 1 is opened, the cleaning rod 42 moves along the extension direction of the limiting member 41 under the action of gravity to compress the spring 43. The movement of the cleaning rod 42 enables the cleaning of the window 1. When the window 1 is reset, the cleaning rod 42 returns to the first end of the window 1 along its length under the elastic force of the spring 43. The weight of the cleaning rod 42 and the specifications of the spring 43 are not limited, as long as the above technical effects are achieved.

[0039] According to this utility model, the flip-up sunroof has a screen frame 21 correspondingly surrounding the side of the window body 1. This allows the screen to provide all-around protection for the opening of the window body 1 when it rotates and rises (or falls) synchronously with the window body 1. Furthermore, the screen frame 21 and the window body 1 are designed as separate units. The end of the screen frame 21 is rotatably connected to a pivot. By controlling the position of the swing component in the drive assembly, the window body 1 can be flexibly raised and lowered independently or synchronously with the screen. Additionally, the screen is detachably connected to the vehicle body, facilitating its removal and maintenance. Moreover, this sunroof also features a cleaning section that fits against the window body 1. This section moves synchronously along the window body 1 as it rotates, achieving a cleaning effect without additional power.

[0040] According to a second aspect of the present invention, an automobile is provided, wherein the automobile includes a tilting sunroof as described above.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them.
