Solution Overview

Problem

Panoramic roof assemblies obstruct rearward visibility and are difficult to install or service, posing safety and user experience issues.

Innovation Solution

A U-shaped panoramic sun blind assembly without rear-beam support, featuring a sunroof assembly with guide rails, fixing pieces, and a motor-driven sunshade, allowing easy installation and adjustment, and maintaining rearview visibility.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Strength

If a traditional panoramic roof assembly with rear-beam support is used, then structural strength and stability are improved, but rearward visibility is obstructed and safety is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural strengthVSAvoidrearward visibility obstruction
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the rear-beam support structure from the panoramic roof assembly, extracting the harmful element that obstructed rearward visibility while retaining the essential functions of the roof assembly through alternative support mechanisms at the front and sides

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The panoramic roof assembly is segmented into modular components including front guide rails, side guide rails, fixing pieces, and sunshade assemblies that can be independently positioned and installed, allowing the rear-beam structure to be eliminated while maintaining overall structural integrity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Strength

If a traditional panoramic roof assembly is used, then structural support is provided, but installation and servicing become difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural supportVSAvoidinstallation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The assembly is divided into separable modules with standardized fixing pieces and guide rails that can be independently installed and removed, dramatically simplifying installation and servicing operations while maintaining structural support through the distributed fixing piece configuration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The fixing pieces are pre-positioned at the front and sides of the roof assembly, and the guide rails are pre-assembled with the sunshade components, allowing for rapid installation without complex on-site structural assembly operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Object-affected harmful factors

If a U-shaped panoramic sun blind assembly without rear-beam support is used, then rearward visibility is maintained and safety is improved, but structural complexity may increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverearward visibilityVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fixing pieces and guide rails serve multiple functions simultaneously - providing structural support, enabling sunshade movement, facilitating installation, and maintaining aesthetic appearance - thereby reducing overall structural complexity despite the elimination of the rear-beam

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A U-shaped panoramic sun blind assembly is disclosed, which includes a sunroof assembly, and a roof with a second guide rail at one end thereof and a first guide rail at another end thereof for a movement of a sunshade. A plurality of fixing pieces are fixed at each of two sides of front ends of the roof and the sunroof assembly respectively for mounting. A motor is positioned at an inside of the front end of the sunroof assembly for driving the sunshade. A plurality of fixing clamp seats are secured to an edge of each of the first and second guide rail respectively. A switch is positioned at a center of the front end of the roof for controlling the sunshade. A sunshade assembly is movably mounted between the first and second guide rail. A crossbeam bracket is mounted to a surface of the front end of the roof.
