[0029] Additionally, the operating part (140) is operated to fold or unfold the sunshade (130).

[0030] In addition, the driving unit (150) is automatically driven by an external signal to open and close the open upper side of the housing (110) of the cover (120).

[0031] In addition, the control unit (160) controls the operation of the operating unit (140) so that the sunshade (130) unfolds after the drive unit (150) is driven and the cover (120) completely opens the open side of the housing (110), or in conjunction with the opening operation of the cover (120) by the drive unit (150).

[0032] That is, the control unit (160) plays the role of mutually controlling the individual or interconnected operation of the operating unit (140) and the driving unit (150).

[0033] Meanwhile, as an example, the driving unit (150) may include a rack gear member (152), a pinion gear member (154), and a driving motor (156).

[0034] A rack gear member (152) is provided on both opposing sides inside the open side of the housing (110), or on the outside of the open side of the housing (110).

[0035] That is, the rack gear member (152) is formed as a pair of parallel members, and each is provided on the inner or outer surface of the corresponding housing (110).

[0036] And, the pinion gear member (154) is gear-coupled to the corresponding rack gear member (152) and is rotatably provided on the cover (120).

[0037] In other words, the housing (110) is fixedly installed on the roof (12), the rack gear member (152) is fixed to the housing (110), and the pinion gear member (154), which is rotatably installed on the cover (120), is provided to be externally engaged with the corresponding rack gear member (152).

[0038] The drive motor (156) is driven to move the cover (120) in the direction of opening and closing the housing (110) by forcibly rotating at least one of the plurality of pinion gear members (154) that are gear-coupled to each of the rack gear members (152) that are parallel to each other. At this time, the drive motor (156) can be fixedly installed on the cover (120) and can be driven by receiving control from the control unit (160).

[0041] At this time, the stopper (158) can be applied in various ways, such as a proximity sensor or a detachment prevention block.

[0042] Additionally, the operating part (140) may include a first forward / backward vibration operating member (141), a support rib (142), a second forward / backward vibration operating member (143), a first driving source (144), and a second driving source (145).

[0043] The first forward / backward vibration operating member (141) is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the housing (110) and is configured to move in a straight forward / backward direction. At this time, one or more of the first forward / backward vibration operating members (141) are fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the housing (110) and can be applied in various ways, such as a cylinder.

[0044] In addition, the first forward / backward vibration operating member (141) can be detachably coupled to the housing (110), and the housing (110) can be detachably coupled to the vehicle body (10).

[0045] And, the support rib (142) is hinge-connected to the end of the first forward-backward movement member (141), particularly to the end or edge of the part of the first forward-backward movement member (141) that moves forward and backward.

[0046] In particular, support ribs (142) are provided in such a way that multiple support ribs are arranged radially to support the sunshade (130).

[0047] In addition, each support rib (142) is linked so that it can be folded or unfolded, and is provided to be foldable so as to reduce storage space.

[0048] Of course, the support rib (142) can be modified into various shapes and can be applied to various hard materials. Also, the number of support ribs (142) connected to the corresponding first forward / backward vibration member (141) is not limited.

[0049] And, the second forward-backward vibration member (143) is hinge-connected at one end to the support rib (142) and hinge-connected at the other end to the forward-backward movement portion of the first forward-backward vibration member (141), and is configured to be movable forward and backward.

[0050] That is, the second forward / backward vibration operating member (143) is provided in the same number as the support ribs (142) and is applied as a cylinder that operates forward and backward.

[0051] Of course, each of the second forward and backward vibration members (143) may be simultaneously connected to a plurality of support ribs (142) and may be applied to various driving means other than cylinders.

[0052] And, the first driving source (144) is connected to the first forward / backward vibration operating member (141) and is driven to advance or retract the first forward / backward vibration operating member (141) upon an external signal or by control of the control unit (160).
