Abstract
A sunroof assembly includes a panel supporting part to support a movable panel in a vehicle width direction; a slider supported on a guide rail; and a link. One end of the link is rotatably connected to the panel supporting part, and the other end has a first guided part. The first guided part movable in a first guide groove of the slider. The link includes a first rotating shaft part between one end and the other end, which is supported on the guide rail in a way that is movable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The link rotating around the first rotating shaft part when the link rotates around the first rotating shaft part, and an end of the panel supporting part connected to the link is displaced in an up-down direction of the vehicle.
Claims7
A sunroof mechanical assembly for moving a movable panel of a sunroof device, comprising:
- a panel supporting part that extends in a front-rear direction of a vehicle to support an edge of the movable panel in a vehicle width direction;
- a slider that is supported on a guide rail of the sunroof device movably along the front-rear direction of the vehicle;
- and
- a link, one end of which in the front-rear direction is rotatably connected to the panel supporting part, and the other end of which in the front-rear direction of the vehicle has a first guided part, the first guided part being embedded in a first guide groove of the slider and being movable relatively in the first guide groove,
- the link further has a first rotating shaft part between one end and the other end thereof, which is directly supported on the guide rail in a way that is movable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the link can rotate around the first rotating shaft part,
- when the link rotates around the first rotating shaft part, an end of the panel supporting part connected to the link is displaced in an up-down direction of the vehicle.
A sunroof mechanical assembly for moving a movable panel of a sunroof device, comprising:
- a panel supporting part that extends in a front-rear direction of a vehicle to support an edge of the movable panel in a vehicle width direction;
- a slider that is supported on a guide rail of the sunroof device movably along the front-rear direction of the vehicle;
- and
- a link, one end of which in the front-rear direction is rotatably connected to the panel supporting part, and the other end of which in the front-rear direction of the vehicle has a first guided part, the first guided part being embedded in a first guide groove of the slider and being movable relatively in the first guide groove,
- the link further has a first rotating shaft part between one end and the other end thereof, which is supported on the guide rail in a way that is movable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the link can rotate around the first rotating shaft part,
- when the link rotates around the first rotating shaft part, an end of the panel supporting part connected to the link is displaced in an up-down direction of the vehicle, wherein,
- the first guide groove has a horizontal portion extending along the front-rear direction of the vehicle and a descending portion extending downwards from the horizontal portion at one end of the slider near the link,
- when the first guided part moves downwards in the descending portion, the link rotates around the first rotating shaft part to lift one end of the panel supporting part.
A sunroof mechanical assembly for moving a movable panel of a sunroof device, comprising:
- a panel supporting part that extends in a front-rear direction of a vehicle to support an edge of the movable panel in a vehicle width direction;
- a slider that is supported on a guide rail of the sunroof device movably along the front-rear direction of the vehicle:
- a link, one end of which in the front-rear direction is rotatably connected to the panel supporting part, and the other end of which in the front-rear direction of the vehicle has a first guided part, the first guided part being embedded in a first guide groove of the slider and being movable relatively in the first guide groove,
- the link further has a first rotating shaft part between one end and the other end thereof, which is supported on the guide rail in a way that is movable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the link can rotate around the first rotating shaft part,
- when the link rotates around the first rotating shaft part, an end of the panel supporting part connected to the link is displaced in an up-down direction of the vehicle;
- a fixed block, which is fixed to the guide rail and is located on an opposite side to the slider relative to the link in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a limiting part being disposed on the fixed block,
- the link further has a limited part at one end thereof, which is configured to limit further movement of the link towards the fixed block by engaging with the limiting part.
