Description

A kind of split type coulisse assembly and external sliding type skylight machinery group
Technical field
The present invention relates to vehicle dormer window manufacture fields, are a kind of split type coulisses of vehicle dormer window more specifically Assembly and the external sliding type skylight machinery group for having the split type coulisse assembly.
Background technique
The deep favor by vast automotive hobbyist of the configuration of skylight on automobile.Skylight have increase automobile in brightness, The advantages that taking a breath in the case that noise is relatively small in startup procedure.But in the prior art, skylight federation when switching use Appearance slide it is obstructed, there is the problem of abnormal sound.
Skylight is mainly made of glass, skylight song guide rail and skylight machinery group etc..Skylight machinery group includes one again Formula coulisse assembly 11 and mechanism rack assembly 12, as shown in Figure 1.
As shown in Fig. 2, the integral type coulisse assembly 11 of large-sized mechanical group is single part in the prior art, i.e., before Pass through the integrated injection molding of thin connecting rod 113 between coulisse 111 and rear coulisse 112.Pass through the elasticity of connecting rod 113 Deformation makes the guide rail of integral type coulisse assembly adaptation different curvature.But the curvature of single part entirety is limited, so that setting Four shoes 114 on integral type coulisse assembly 11 are set to be difficult to be well matched with the skylight guide rail A of different curvature or right It is difficult to keep identical compression with skylight guide rail A in entire taxiing procedures in the same skylight guide rail with different curvature section Amount, and then the resistance born of different skylights or same skylight during whole service is caused to have biggish fluctuation, It is unable to ensure the smooth operation of skylight.
In addition, existing external sliding type skylight machinery group is to ensure in vibration processes, lesser vibrating noise is obtained, skylight is needed The front and back of movement mechanism, which is lifted, possesses certain amount of interference between arm and skylight guide rail, as shown in Figure 3.But excessive amount of interference is deposited So that skylight bears additional running resistance when running again.
Summary of the invention
Since the prior art is there is the above problem, the present invention proposes a kind of split type coulisse assembly, its object is to Split type coulisse assembly is decomposed into three parts, newly-designed company by the Element Design structure for changing existing monoblock type The both ends of socket part can be rotated relative to the rear portion interconnecting piece and the front interconnecting piece respectively, enable split type coulisse assembly It is enough to realize bigger curvature, it allows the guide rail of the different curvature of four shoes and skylight to keep identical decrement, reduces skylight institute The resistance of receiving fluctuates, it is ensured that the smooth operation of skylight.
The present invention solves the above problems by the following technical programs:
Split type coulisse assembly includes: preceding coulisse, interconnecting piece before one end is equipped with one;Coulisse afterwards, one end Interconnecting piece after portion is equipped with one;And sliding slot connecting rod, both ends connect with the preceding interconnecting piece and the rear interconnecting piece activity respectively It connects, the both ends of the sliding slot connecting rod can be rotated rotating around the preceding interconnecting piece and rear interconnecting piece, to adapt to the day of different curvature The different curvature section of window guide rail or same skylight guide rail.
A kind of external sliding type skylight machinery group is also disclosed in another the application comprising: split type coulisse as described above is total At;Mechanism rack assembly is connected to split type coulisse assembly and the skylight guide rail, and then the company of realization by sliding pin thereon The opening for the skylight glass being connected on the mechanism rack assembly, the movement needs for warping and closing;Mechanism drives inhaul cable assembly, Split type coulisse assembly is fixed on by a screw drag-line substrate in one end, and the other end is nibbled by a drag-line rack gear with motor gear It closes, drives the split type coulisse assembly to realize under the driving of drive motor and move back and forth.
It is preferred that the mechanism rack assembly includes glass connecting bracket, preceding lift arm and rear lift arm, in which: The glass connecting bracket is connect by screw with skylight glass assembly, and the rear and front end of bracket passes through pin shaft and preceding lifting Arm, the connection of rear lift arm;The preceding lift arm, one end are connected to the front end of the glass connecting bracket by a pin shaft, The other end acts on the preceding coulisse and the guide rail by sliding pin;Lift arm after described, one end are connected by a pin shaft In the rear end of the glass connecting bracket, the other end acts on the rear coulisse and the drag-line substrate by sliding pin.
It is preferred that the side of the preceding lift arm is equipped with one first sliding pin, before first sliding pin is embedded in coulisse; The other side is equipped with one second sliding pin, and second sliding pin is embedded in the guide rail, and second sliding pin follows the preceding coulisse The swing of lift arm before relative motion with the guide rail is realized.
It is preferred that lift arm side is equipped with third sliding pin and the 4th sliding pin after described, the third sliding pin and the 4th are slided Coulisse after pin insertion is described, the third sliding pin and the 4th sliding pin lift after following the relative motion of the rear coulisse to realize The swing of arm;The lift arm other side is contacted with the drag-line substrates into intimate after described, and the drag-line substrate gives the mechanism rack Assembly provides additional stability and supports to eliminate vibrating noise, and eliminates and closely connect because of the rear lift arm with guide rail side Mechanism skylight caused by touching is in the big resistance problem for opening sliding process.
