Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, however, the present invention may have other embodiments in addition to these detailed descriptions.

The invention provides a vehicle. The vehicle comprises a shielding device. The shielding device may be mounted on top of the body 110 of the vehicle for shielding sunlight (sunlight in the direction a in fig. 1) from the front row seat 111 of the vehicle irradiated from the upper front of the vehicle. The shielding device can also be used for shielding rain and snow, is favorable for a driver to drive comfortably, improves driving safety, and effectively prevents traffic accidents.

Referring to fig. 1, the shielding device includes a baffle 120. Baffle 120 is attached to the top end of body 110. The shutter 120 is movable in the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle. In this way, the shutter 120 is movable between the shielding position (the position of the shutter 120 in fig. 1) and the storage position.

When the barrier 120 is located at the blocking position, at least part of the barrier 120 is located forward of the upper end of the front windshield 114 of the vehicle (laterally of the upper end of the front windshield 114 in the forward direction of the vehicle). In this way, the baffle 120 can block sunlight, reducing sunlight to a person (e.g., a driver) sitting in the front seat 111.

When the barrier 120 is located at the storage position, the barrier 120 is separated from the front windshield 114 in the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle.

Preferably, in the case where the barrier 120 is located at the storage position, the projection of the barrier 120 on the horizontal plane does not protrude from the projection of the top of the vehicle body on the horizontal plane. Thereby, wind resistance can be reduced.

The shielding device further comprises a drive assembly 170. Drive assembly 170 is adapted to be coupled to baffle 120 and body 110. The drive assembly 170 is capable of driving the bezel 120 between the shielding position and the stowed position.

In particular, the drive assembly 170 may be a rack and pinion arrangement. The rack and pinion structure comprises a motor, a gear and a rack. The motor mount of the motor is fixedly connected to the baffle 120. The gear is connected to the motor shaft of the motor. The rack extends in the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle. The rack is fixedly coupled to the top of the body 110. The gear is meshed with the rack. In this way, the motor can drive the shutter 120 to move between the shielding position and the storage position.

It will be appreciated that in embodiments not shown, the drive assembly 170 may be other structures known in the art. Such as a lead screw nut arrangement, an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or a pulley arrangement. As long as the shutter can be driven to move between the shielding position and the storage position.

The shielding means further comprise a light sensitive element 130. The photosensor 130 is disposed within the body 110. Thus, when sunlight directed in the direction a described above is irradiated into the vehicle body 110, the photosensor 130 can sense the sunlight and thus collect an irradiation signal.

Referring to fig. 3, the shielding apparatus further includes a controller 160. The controller 160 may be an in-vehicle central control system. The controller 160 is electrically connected to the photosensitive element 130 and the driving assembly 170. The controller 160 can receive illumination signals acquired by the photosensor 130.

When the controller 160 receives the irradiation signal, the controller 160 controls the driving assembly 170 to move the shutter 120 to the shielding position according to the irradiation signal.

When the controller 160 does not receive the irradiation signal, the controller 160 controls the driving unit 170 to move the shutter 120 to the storage position.

In the present embodiment, when the sunlight in the front of the vehicle irradiates the vehicle body, the controller 160 automatically controls the driving unit 170 to operate so as to drive the barrier 120 to move to the shielding position, thereby preventing the sunlight from irradiating the eyes of the person sitting in the front seat 111 and reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.

Preferably, the photosensitive elements 130 are at least two (e.g., four). Of the at least two photosensors 130, any two photosensors 130 are spaced apart. Such that the positions of any two photosensors 130 are different. Thus, sunlight can be sensed more effectively.

The shutter 120 has at least two intermediate shutter positions between the shutter position and the storage position. Along the shielding direction of the shutter 120 from the storage position toward the shielding position, at least two intermediate shielding positions are sequentially provided. The position of the shutter 120 at any one of the intermediate blocking positions is different.

The controller 160 controls the driving assembly 170 to drive the shutter 120 to move to any one of at least two intermediate blocking positions according to the irradiation signal so as to block all the photosensitive elements 130 capable of acquiring the irradiation signal. In this way, sunlight can be blocked more effectively.

Preferably, the photosensitive element 130 is a photoresistor. Thereby facilitating the selection of the photosensitive element 130.

Preferably, the photosensitive element 130 is disposed in the front row seat 111. In this way, when sunlight is irradiated to the front seat 111 of the vehicle, the photosensor 130 can sense the sunlight to collect an irradiation signal.

Further preferably, the photosensor 130 is provided on the side of the front seat 111 (on the side of the front seat 111 in the vehicle width direction D2). Thus, it is possible to avoid a person sitting in the front seat 111 from blocking sunlight, thereby disabling the photosensor 130 from sensing sunlight.

Preferably, at least two photosensors 130 are disposed in sequence along the longitudinal direction D1 of the vehicle. Thus, sunlight can be sensed more effectively.

Preferably, at least two photosensors 130 are disposed in sequence in the height direction of the vehicle. Thus, sunlight can be sensed more effectively.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the shielding apparatus further includes a control assembly 140 disposed within the body 110. The control assembly 140 is electrically connected to the controller 160. In this way, a person within the vehicle may operate the control assembly 140 to send occlusion signals and stow signals to the controller 160.

Upon receiving the occlusion signal, the controller 160 controls the drive assembly 170 to drive the shutter 120 to move to the occluding position. When the controller 160 receives the storage signal, the driving assembly 170 is controlled to drive the shutter 120 to move to the storage position. Thus, the in-vehicle person can manually control the shutter 120 to move between the storage position and the shielding position.

It will be appreciated that the priority of the controller 160 for automatically controlling the movement of the shutter 120, and controlling the movement of the shutter 120 by the control assembly 140, may be set as desired.

Further preferably, the control assembly 140 is also configured to send a gear control signal to the controller 160 to control the drive assembly 170 to drive the shutter 120 to move to any one of the at least two intermediate blocking positions.

Preferably, the control assembly 140 is provided to the steering wheel 113 of the vehicle. Thus, the vehicle is simple in structure, and the driver can control the position of the barrier 120 as desired.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, a control button 141, a blocking gear button 142, and a storage gear button 143 are provided on the control panel.

The control button 141, the shielding gear button 142, and the storage gear button 143 are electrically connected to the controller 160 through wires.

The control button 141 is used to control the shutter 120 to move between the storage position and the shielding position. Specifically, pressing control button 141 once for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 s) indicates that control component 140 sends an occlusion signal to controller 160. Pressing the control button 141 at least twice (e.g., twice) for a predetermined period of time indicates that the control assembly 140 sends a stow signal to the controller 160.

It will be appreciated that in one embodiment, not shown, pressing the control button once for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 s) indicates that the control assembly sends a stow signal to the controller 160. Pressing the control button at least twice (e.g., twice) for a predetermined period of time indicates that the control assembly sends an occlusion signal to the controller 160.

In another embodiment, not shown, pressing the control button to house for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 2 s) indicates that the control assembly sends a house signal to the controller 160. Pressing the control button to block for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 2 s) indicates that the control component sends a blocking signal to the controller 160.

The shielding gear button 142 is used for controlling the baffle 120 to move to any one of the middle shielding positions along the shielding direction from the storage position to the shielding position. Each time the occlusion gear button 142 is pressed within a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 s), it is indicated that the control flap 120 needs to be moved forward in the occlusion direction from the current position to the predetermined occlusion position. The predetermined blocking position may be an intermediate blocking position adjacent to the current position of the barrier in the blocking direction, or an intermediate blocking position spaced apart from the current position of the barrier by at least one intermediate blocking position in the blocking direction.

The storage shift button 143 is used to control the shutter 120 to move to any one of the intermediate shielding positions in the storage direction from the shielding position toward the storage position. Each time the storage shift button 143 is pressed within a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1 s), it indicates that the barrier 120 needs to be controlled to move forward in the storage direction from the current position to a predetermined storage position. The predetermined storage position may be an intermediate shielding position adjacent to the current position of the barrier in the storage direction, or an intermediate shielding position spaced apart from the current position of the barrier by at least one intermediate shielding position in the storage direction.

It will be appreciated that in an embodiment not shown, the control buttons of the control assembly, the blocking gear buttons, and the receiving gear buttons may be replaced with voice capture means to control movement of the bezel by voice.

The shielding device further includes a setting portion 150. The setting part 150 is electrically connected to the controller 160. The driver may send a setting signal to the setting part 150 through the control assembly and the controller 160 to set the predetermined shielding position and the predetermined storage position at the setting part 150.

Preferably, the baffle 120 is an arcuate plate. The front end of the shutter 120 at the shielding position is positioned lower than the rear end. With the baffle 120 attached to the vehicle body 110, the front end of the baffle 120 is farther from the vehicle tail than the rear end. Thus, the person (for example, the driver) sitting in the front seat 111 can be shielded from sunlight more effectively.

Preferably, the top of body 110 has an upper surface 112. During movement of the barrier 120 between the blocking position and the stowed position, the barrier 120 moves in the direction of extension of the portion of the upper surface 112 proximate the front windshield 114. Thereby, the wind resistance can be reduced as much as possible.

Preferably, the barrier 120 in the storage position is stacked to the upper surface 112 of the vehicle body 110. Thereby, the wind resistance can be reduced as much as possible. In addition, the appearance of the vehicle is beautiful.

Preferably, a portion of the drive assembly 170 is located at the rear end of the baffle 120. Thus, the structure of the vehicle is simple.

Optionally, the upper surface of the baffle 120 is provided with a reflective material. Such as aluminum foil. Thereby, the sunshade performance of the barrier 120 can be increased.
