[0032] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1 to 11, this utility model discloses a car window sunshade installation structure, including a connector 1, wherein the connector 1 can be used to install onto the car door window frame 3, and the connector 1 can also be used to install a curtain 2.

[0036] Importantly, the connector 1 includes a fastening part 11, a main body 12, a bending part 13, and a curtain mounting part 14. The main body 12 is a long strip extending along the outline of the door window frame 3. One side of the main body 12 is bent to form a bending part 13 for fitting against the door window frame 3. The fastening part 11 is connected to the main body 12 and is used to fasten against the inner frame 31 of the door window frame 3. The bending part 13 is arranged opposite to the fastening part 11. The curtain mounting part 14 is connected to the main body 12, the bending part 13, or the fastening part 11. The curtain mounting part 14 can be used to install the curtain 2.

[0037] Preferably, the fastening part 11, the main body part 12, the bending part 13, and the curtain mounting part 14 are integrally molded, making the connector 1 more aesthetically pleasing and easier to manufacture as a single piece. Of course, the fastening part 11, the main body part 12, the bending part 13, and the curtain mounting part 14 can also be connected to each other by methods such as welding, screwing, or riveting.

[0038] Preferably, the main body 12 may also be at least partially attached to the door and window frame 3, that is, the main body 12 may have an attachment surface that can be used to attach to the door and window frame 3, so as to improve stability.

[0039] It should be noted that, taking the window opening position of the door window frame 3 as a reference, the outer periphery of the door window frame 3 refers to the outer circumferential side of the door window frame 3 away from the window opening, and the inner frame 31 of the door window frame 3 refers to the inner edge of the sheet metal surrounding the window opening in the door window frame 3; in addition, the inner frame 31 is also located on the inner side of the window glass 5, that is, when the door is closed, the inner frame 31 is located on the side of the window glass 5 facing the inside of the car.

[0040] Furthermore, considering the orientation of the inner frame 31 and the window glass 5, the inner side of the door window frame 3 refers to the side of the inner frame 31 away from the window glass 5, while the outer side of the door window frame 3 refers to the side of the inner frame 31 facing the window glass 5. In other words, when the connector 1 is installed on the inner or outer side of the door window frame 3, the connector 1 is always located on the side of the window glass 5 facing the inside of the vehicle, so as not to affect the normal raising and lowering of the window glass 5.

[0041] In practical application, the connector 1 provided by this utility model allows the bent portion 13 to fit against the door window frame 3 to form a support point, while the fastening portion 11 fastens against the inner frame 31 of the door window frame 3 to form another support point. These two support points, one relatively outward and the other relatively inward, enable the connector 1 to be detachably connected to the door window frame 3 without affecting the normal raising and lowering of the window glass. There is no need to worry about it being blown off or shifted by the wind when opening the window at high speed, nor is it necessary to damage the original vehicle structure. It offers good stability and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Furthermore, compared to existing technologies, the installation of this connector 1 does not rely on the groove structure on the outer periphery of the door window frame 3, but utilizes the inner... The inner frame 31 (i.e., the inner edge of the sheet metal of the door and window frame 3) is used to fasten the connector 1. The inner frame 31 is rigid and has high strength. It is not easy to deform or loosen when subjected to the force of the connector 1. It is applicable to a wide range of car models and does not damage the parts of the door and window frame 3. It has high durability. Since most car models generally have an inner edge rubber strip 4 installed on the inner frame 31, after the fastening part 11 is fastened to the inner frame 31, the inner edge rubber strip 4 can be reinstalled. The inner edge rubber strip 4 covers the fastening part 11 and provides a certain pre-tightening force, thereby ensuring that the appearance of the door and window frame 3 remains beautiful after the connector 1 is installed and the connector 1 can be installed more securely.

[0042] On the other hand, the connector 1 of the above solution, which uses at least part of the main body 12 and the bent part 13 to fit the shape of the car window frame, also has the following effects: in order not to affect the closing of the car door and not to affect the sealing of the rubber strip; when the car door is closed, the fastening part 11, the bent part 13 and at least part of the main body 12 are not visible from inside the car, making it more aesthetically pleasing; and it occupies as little space as possible inside the car, resulting in a better user experience.

[0043] To achieve the connection between the fastening part 11 and the inner frame 31, this embodiment provides the following two preferred solutions:

[0044] Option 1: Referring to Figures 1 to 4, the fastening part 11 includes a connecting piece 111. One end of the connecting piece 111 is connected to the main body 12, and the other end of the connecting piece 111 is bent to form a barb 112 for hooking and fastening with the inner edge of the inner frame 31. Specifically, there are three fastening parts 11, which are arranged along the extension direction of the main body 12, that is, there are three barbs 112 that can be used to hook and fasten with the inner edge of the inner frame 31. Among them, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the connector 1 of Option 1 installed on the inner side of the door window frame 3, and Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the connector 1 of Option 1 installed on the outer side of the door window frame 3 after the shape is adapted.

[0045] Option 2: Referring to Figures 5 to 8, the fastening part 11 includes a connecting piece 111. One end of the connecting piece 111 is connected to the main body 12, and the other end of the connecting piece 111 is provided with a protrusion 113 for insertion and fastening with the hole 311 of the inner frame 31. Specifically, there are three fastening parts 11, which are arranged along the extension direction of the main body 12, that is, there are three protrusions 113 that can be used to insert and fasten with the hole 311 of the inner frame 31. Among them, Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view of the connector 1 of Option 2 installed on the inner side of the door window frame 3, and Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of the connector 1 of Option 2 installed on the outer side of the door window frame 3 after the shape is adapted.

[0046] As can be seen from Figures 3 and 4, as well as Figures 7 and 8, depending on the structure and needs of the vehicle model, connector 1 can be installed either internally or externally.

[0047] Understandably, Scheme 1 and Scheme 2 can be used individually or in combination. When used in combination, some of the fastening parts 11 adopt Scheme 1, while other fastening parts 11 adopt Scheme 2. Of course, in Scheme 1, Scheme 2, or a combination of Scheme 1 and Scheme 2, there may be two, four, five, etc., fastening parts 11. This utility model does not limit the number of fastening parts 11.

[0048] In other preferred embodiments, only one fastening part 11 may be provided. In this case, the fastening part 11 preferably extends along the extension direction of the main body 12. Specifically, the connecting piece 111 extends along the extension direction of the main body 12, and the other end of the connecting piece 111 may be bent to form a barb 112 or have a protrusion 113. Alternatively, the other end of the connecting piece may be partially bent to form a barb 112, and a protrusion 113 may be provided at a position where there is no barb 112. Of course, the barb 112 may also be a long barb extending along the extension direction of the connecting piece 111.

[0049] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, in the above-mentioned Scheme 1, preferably, the fastening part 11, at least part of the main body part 12 and the bending part 13 together form a clamping cavity 15 for clamping the car door window frame 3, so that the clamping force can be used to better install and fix the connector 1 to the car door window frame 3.

[0050] Of course, in the second scheme above, the fastening part 11, at least part of the main body part 12, and the bending part 13 can also jointly form a clamping cavity 15 for clamping the door and window frame 3. The connector 1 structure shown in Figures 6 and 7 does not form a clamping cavity 15 in a strict sense due to the vehicle models it is adapted to, but this does not mean that a clamping cavity 15 cannot be formed; as shown in Figure 8, the connector 1 used for external mounting has a clamping cavity 15 formed. Specifically, the connecting piece 111, at least part of the main body part 12, and the bending part 13 jointly form the clamping cavity 15.

[0051] Referring to Figures 2 to 4 and Figures 6 to 8, in the above-mentioned Scheme 1, Scheme 2, or a combination of Scheme 1 and Scheme 2, preferably, the connecting piece 111 is elastically deformable, and the connecting piece 111 can provide elastic tension so that the connecting piece 1 can fit into the door window frame 3, further improving stability; in addition, in order to facilitate the reinstallation of the inner edge rubber strip 4, a gap 16 is maintained between the side wall of the connecting piece 111 facing away from the inner frame 31 and the side wall of the main body 12 facing the door window frame 3.

[0052] In this embodiment, there may be only one bending portion 13 or several bending portions 13. Taking the illustration in Figure 1 or Figure 5 as an example, there is one bending portion 13, which extends along the extension direction of the main body portion 12. In this case, preferably, the bending portion 13 is integrally formed with the main body portion 12. Of course, in other examples, there may be two, three, four, etc., bending portions 13, and several bending portions 13 are arranged sequentially at intervals along one side of the main body portion 12.

[0053] To facilitate the installation of the curtain 2 on the curtain mounting part 14, preferably, the main body 12 includes a first section 121 and a second section 122. The fastening part 11 and the bending part 13 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the first section 121. One side of the second section 122 is connected to the side of the first section 121 used to connect the fastening part 11, and the other side of the second section 122 is connected to the curtain mounting part 14. In this way, the second section 122 can be used to extend the curtain mounting part 14, avoiding the curtain mounting part 14 or the curtain 2 from being caught after the car door is closed.

[0054] Furthermore, the curtain mounting part is connected to one end of the main body along its length, and the extension direction of the curtain mounting part is set at an angle to the extension direction of the main body.

[0055] The vehicle window sunshade installation structure provided by this utility model can be used in at least the following three application scenarios:
