The load carrier 20 that is used for front roof parts 5 is shown and comprises the motor that can be connected to one of two arms 22,23 that after this will more describe in detail drivingly.
Vehicle 1 is presented in Fig. 1 in the position that they raise fully has two roof parts 5,6, with generation hatchback power actuated vehicle form, but roof parts 5,6 can move to the optional form of each stowed position with further formation power actuated vehicle from their raised position.
The process that changes to open top or open formula from hatchback describes with reference to Fig. 2-13, but is appreciated that described process is reversible, and vehicle also can be transformed into the hatchback automobile from convertible like this.
In Fig. 2, the first step of change procedure is shown part and finishes with 13,14 in forward and backward side window mouth, and described forward and backward side window mouth 13,14 partly is reduced in the following body structure of vehicle 1.When finishing fully, forward and backward side window mouth 13,14 is retracted to down in the body structure fully.
In Fig. 3, next step of change procedure is shown, and wherein 6 the past of back roof parts roof parts 5 slip away backward and break away from the back of roof parts 5 with the front with back roof parts 6 in the past.In the process that this moves backward, when it crosses backward after roof 6 be arranged to move up a little to reduce to be placed in the load on any sealing member (not shown) between back roof 6 and the adjacent following body structure.Promptly in the process of this step, back roof 6 mainly moves along acclivitous plane backward.
In Fig. 4, shown next step of change procedure, wherein obtain wing flap 50 and be enhanced on each side of vehicle 1 from the position of closure to the position that raises.Obtain on the stringcourse 15 that wing flap 50 is placed in vehicle 1 substantially and need be raised to allow back roof parts 6 beginnings rotation forward.
Back roof parts 6 begin to rotate forward then, and fall under the height of back of front roof parts 5 in the front of back roof parts 6 like this.
In Fig. 5, shown next step of change procedure, wherein back roof parts 6 are further rotated forward.
Back roof parts 6 travel forward then.The motion of back roof parts 6 is by synchronous or arrangement, and the front of back roof parts 6 is by under the back of front roof parts 5 like this.In the process of this step, back roof parts 6 move forward and backward along downward-sloping plane.In this case, downward-sloping plane is placed on the acclivitous plane or is parallel with it, and along described acclivitous plane, back roof parts 6 are by initially along moving backward.But downward-sloping plane does not need to be placed and is parallel to acclivitous plane.
In Fig. 6, shown next step of change procedure.The rotation forward of back roof parts 6 is finished, and travelling forward of back roof parts 6 finished, and back roof parts 6 are placed in the orientation of vertical bank now like this, prepare to be used for being reduced to passenger accommodation 12.That is, the relative more flat first type surface of back roof parts 6 is positioned on the vertical angles less than 45 degree.
In Fig. 7, shown next step of change procedure, wherein back roof parts 6 change downwards along the vertical bank plane, and front roof parts 5 begin to move towards its stowed position from its raised position.Can notice that front roof parts 5 are at any time remained on the essentially identical orientation substantially, it keeps on level and the back roof parts 6 by the part harvesting substantially like this.
In Fig. 8, shown next step of change procedure, wherein the back roof changes continuously downwards, and front roof parts 5 are along two arms, 22,23 arcs that limited by being used to support it or crooked route continuous movement backward.Be appreciated that on the opposite flank of front roof parts 5 and have two other arm, two arms 22,23 shown in it moves in an identical manner.
In Fig. 9, next step of change procedure is the described continuation of relative Fig. 8.
In Figure 10, back roof parts arrive the position that it is received and kept fully, and are positioned within the front row passenger accommodation afterwards at seat.As can be seen in this position, it is placed under the stringcourse 15 of vehicle 1 and is appreciated that in this position it has hidden the back row at seat from the visual field.Roof parts 6 are favourable after this is near storage in the vertical orientation after dress circle; it has occupied less relatively space because when receiving and keeping like this; back row seats are protected from environment and; may of paramount importancely be; do not occupy any luggage zone of vehicle 1, the original luggage bearer cap of the vehicle under stringcourse 15 1 keeps identical basically like this.
In Figure 11, the front roof parts almost arrive the limit backward of its motion, and more or less motion downwards continuously now, although it is still along by two arms, 22,23 crooked routes that limited.
In Figure 12, obtain wing flap 50 and just begin to move downward in the front of the front roof parts 5 that reduce, before arriving its stowed position, continue front roof parts 5 their original make position like this.This is very important because originally be used for sealing member on the side of front roof parts 5 of top of sealed sides window 13,14 be arranged to respectively obtain wing flap 50 on cooresponding edge 55 cooperate.Edge 55 on one of wing flap 50 is displayed among Figure 30 a.
It is important respectively to obtain wing flap 50, because there is not such wing flap, back roof parts 6 can not move to its stowed position from its raised position, will contact down body structure because the side of back roof parts 6 supports.When after roof parts 6 be in fully in the position that raises, its part drops on each wing flap 50, and wing flap 50 can not be raised up to back roof parts 6 and moved backward but they raise then to allow back roof parts 6 to travel forward to be received and kept like this.Each wing flap 50 at one end connects by gooseneck pipe hinge 51, and described like this wing flap 50 not only raises but also outwards moves when it is raised.
It also is useful obtaining wing flap 50, because shown in Figure 30 a, when rear side window 14 was raised, they were used to support the inner seal liner 52 that is used for rear side window 14.Outside seal may 53 is passed through to support on the position of the stringcourse 15 of vehicle 1 or near described locational adjacent lower body panel 54.
Be appreciated that when obtaining wing flap 50 to be closed that they lie in the inside of adjacent rear side window 14, but when they raise, they were arranged to the outside of rear side window 14.
Figure 29 a-29c and Figure 30,30a have shown that right-hand side obtains the other view of wing flap 50.
On Figure 29 a-29c, shown that interior decorating and fitting panel 60 has the open-ended slot 61 that is formed on wherein.This open-ended slot 61 at first allows side to support and moves from the position of their rising especially for the plate 40 that back roof parts 6 is connected to harvesting mechanism, when postbrachium 23 parts that are used for allowing front roof mechanism 20 then are in its stowed position by the depression (not shown) within the body structure down with current roof parts 5, it is hidden from the visual angle.Therefore groove 61 is favourable, because it not only allows the harvesting of back roof parts 6 that the harvesting of front roof parts 5 takes place but also allows.
In Figure 13, roof parts 6 were stored in after the front row at seat 9 after change procedure was finished, and front roof parts 5 levels are stored in down on the rear portion of body structure to form the back plate in the luggage zone 11 that covers vehicle 1.Vehicle 1 changes to the convertible at two seats or the vehicle of open top form from traditional hatchback automobile.
When in pick up or convertible, go up back shield 7 if desired and can be opened after dress circle 9, to form air partition.Figure 33 has shown the power actuated vehicle of pick up pattern, and last back shield raises so that the passenger is separated from the object that is carried.In this case, can carry bicycle.
Even be appreciated that when vehicle to be in the convertible form, luggage zone 11 still can obtain by back shield 8 down, and have with the pattern that is in the hatchback power actuated vehicle when vehicle in the regional similar or identical bearer cap of luggage.
In the process of aforesaid variation, back roof parts 6 finish move in its storage location with minimize need time that vehicle 1 changes before, front roof parts 5 begin to move to its stowed position from the position of its rising, when taking place to change relatively, situation may not need like this before front roof parts 5 are got back to its raised position fully, and back roof parts 6 still are moved back into its raised position.
For example, vehicle may be arranged to original pattern of describing and wherein back roof parts 6 be reduced to its stowed position fully and front roof parts 5 do not operated from the other pattern that its raised position moves.This has such advantage: the power actuated vehicle that can form the 3rd pattern.When after roof parts 6 receive and keep fully, the luggage zone of vehicle 1 11 is opened towards air, and front roof parts 5 still are arranged in the position of its rising, vehicle has changed in the pick up pattern of vehicle.Extra if desired loading space, this changes and can comprise that also folding one leans against forward, but all seats preferably in the back row seats 10, to form flat big load-bearing zone.This favourable part that changes to the pick up form is: the larger volume object that its permission can not be engaged within the scope of vehicle of hatchback is carried.
Be appreciated that, the electric controller (not shown) that moves through of forward and backward roof parts 5,6 is controlled, different operation alternative modes can be provided, such as the full automaticity from hatchback to the convertible formula change, such as the part of pick up pattern be changed to intermediateness and from the pick up modal shift to one of other two kinds of patterns.
Although the present invention is illustrated with reference to the vehicle with hatchback of two arrange seatses, it can be applied to the wing-rooms on either side of a one-story house power actuated vehicle of other type, such as MPV or cargo cab pattern.In these cases, back roof parts will still be stored within the passenger accommodation, if but vehicle has three rows, can be stored in after the second series at seat, and the front roof parts can comprise a unnecessary panel, one of panel is received and kept on the rear portion of vehicle as mentioned above like this, and other panel is received and kept in other mode or be removable from vehicle.
Therefore, for example, the vehicle with MPV pattern of three arrange seatses can use the present invention to change to the convertible with two arrange seatses or have the pick up pattern of two arrange seatses.
In Figure 31,32, most of aspects power actuated vehicle 101 as hereinbefore is shown.Be that with the unique significant difference of aforesaid power actuated vehicle this power actuated vehicle has the device that is used to carry the object 144 that is coupled on the front roof parts 105.As previously mentioned, vehicle has upper and lower back shield 107,108, and back roof parts 106, the traverse rod 104 by horizontal expansion are bundled in wind screen 103, two arrange seatses on the top, have only front-seat 109 to be shown, and have stringcourse 115.
The front that operates in preceding and back roof 105,106 is illustrated.
The device that is used for loaded object is that the form loaded object that is used for box 145 can be the device that is used for firmly object being fixed to the roof of power actuated vehicle 101 of ski rack, bicycle rack, rack for canoe, sail frame, ladder or any other type still in the case.
Because front roof parts 105 can move to raised position or conversely from stowed position, heavier object such as box 145 can be fixed to baggage rack 144 when front roof parts 105 are in the stowed position (Figure 31), front roof parts 105 can move to raised position (Figure 32) then, when front roof parts 105 were raised, eliminating needed heavier object is elevated on the baggage rack of power actuated vehicle 101 thus.
This is significantly favourable, because it has reduced harvesting dangerous and allow the be short of physical strength people that still object can be elevated to the stringcourse 115 of power actuated vehicle 101 injured than the people rear portion of heavy object is elevated to described rising roof parts 105 with object, descending with object 145 usefulness roof parts 105 that will be heavier raises roof parts 105 then and successfully loads and fix on the throne, and the inner space of power actuated vehicle can make full use of like this.
Be appreciated that if desired object 145 also can allow roof parts 105 be in the stowed position to transmit.
With reference to Figure 14-29, shown the harvesting mechanism 20,30 that is used for forward and backward roof parts 5,6 in more detail especially.
The harvesting mechanism 20 that is used for front roof 5 comprises forward and backward serpentine arm 22,23 and electrical motor 21 (only being presented at Fig. 1).In this case, forearm 22 is connected to electrical motor 21.But, be appreciated that rear wall 23 can be a slave arm alternatively, perhaps if desired, two arms 22,23 can be driven.Be appreciated that on each side of vehicle 1 it is a pair of arm and the motor that is used for moving described arm.
Forearm 22 is pivotally connected to front roof parts 5 in the top, and on its lower end, be pivotally connected to the part of the following body structure of vehicle 1, postbrachium 23 is gone up and similarly be connected to front roof parts 5 in the top, and is pivotally connected to the part of the following body structure of vehicle 1 on its lower end.
The head lamp brush guard pivot bonded assembly position that is used for two arms 22,23 is placed near the balance in roll shaft position, and described balance in roll shaft position is the way between the forward and backward limit of the front roof parts 5 of the center of gravity by front roof parts 5 substantially.The pivot location of the position that is connected to front roof parts 5 of two arms 22,23 is to be used for guaranteeing front roof parts 5 balance effectively on two arms 22,23, and not have bigger masterpiece to be used in to attempt to allow front roof parts 5 rotate around the horizontal expansion axle on the arm 22,23.If front roof parts 5 are connected to two arms on such as the position near the back of front roof parts 5, be appreciated that so because the out-of-position cause between the center of gravity of connection location and front roof parts 5 has the cooresponding rotation momentum that is applied on two arms 22,23.This will need to use stronger arm and more high-performance motor, all be disadvantageous in both cases.
In the example shown, forearm 22 is pivotally connected to a little the locational front roof parts 5 in the front portion of balance shaft in the top, and postbrachium 23 is pivotally connected to a little the locational front roof parts 5 at the rear portion of balance shaft in the top.
Be appreciated that if each arm is more straight so owing to locate near the last pivot bonded assembly of the balance shaft of front roof parts 5, when current roof parts 5 are in the position of rising, they will give cooresponding obstruction to entering and leave from passenger accommodation.For this reason, they all are provided with double crank, like this when observing from the side, they are serpentine substantially, because when being shaped like this, when a part of extending their length substantially vertically upward owing to them when front roof was raised, they influenced indistinctively from the entering and leaving of passenger accommodation 12, and they cross to front roof parts 5 from body structure down.Top curved guarantees to enter and/or to leave not to be subjected to negative effect, and bending guarantees that arm extends substantially vertically and do not cross on the rear side window 14 down.
Electrical motor 21 can be connected to forearm 22 drivingly, and has rotatable output shaft (not shown), and the turbo-shaft (not shown) is connected to described rotatable output shaft, and the big gear wheel (not shown) is connected to forearm 22.The rotation of turbine will cause forearm 22 according to the hand of rotation of turbine and accordingly or forward or rotation backward.
Be appreciated that, two arms 22,23 and front roof parts 5 and lower body textural association form four bar connecting rod mechanisms, and it is arranged to guarantee that being oriented in of front roof parts 5 changes to from raised position as shown in Figure 1 keeps identical substantially the process of stowed position as shown in figure 13.But be appreciated that the orientation of front roof parts can be changed if desired when it changes, like this when in stowed position, its on correct angle, be orientated with the lower body structure alignment that rests on it.
The operation of front roof harvesting mechanism 20 is direct, when current roof parts 5 need be lowered, motor is opened, intermeshing turbine and big gear wheel cause the first arm 22 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction, cause front roof to move backward, move down along each the path or the arc of the bending that length limited then by described location and two arms 22,23.Current roof parts 5 arrive its stowed position, and the sensor under being positioned on one of body structure, front roof structure, arm 22,23 or the motor 21 is used to disable motor 21 to prevent the harvesting damage that mechanism was taken place.Corresponding sensor is provided to disable motor when front roof parts 5 are moved back into its raised position and move with disable motor 21 with the traverse rod 4 in the contact horizontal expansion of the front of front roof parts 5 backward from stowed position.Described sensor can be to be used to detect when the electric current to motor be elevated to the current sensor form on the predetermined level or can be contact or proximity transducer.
With reference to Figure 14-23, shown the harvesting structure 30 that is used for back roof parts 6 especially.
Power actuated vehicle 1 has a pair of back harvesting mechanism 30, each is arranged on each sides of back roof parts 6 stowed position that is exposed to ambient air with a part that will back roof parts 6 moves to wherein originally the passenger accommodation 12 that is covered by back roof parts 6 from its raised position of a part of lid that is formed for the passenger accommodation 12 of power actuated vehicle 1 wherein.
For simplicity and understand, have only the back roof harvesting mechanism 30 on the right-hand side of power actuated vehicle 1 to describe, but be appreciated that roof on the left-hand side receives and keeps mechanism and similarly constructed.
Harvesting mechanism 30 comprises the annular driver train of chain drive form, described chain drive has the form of chain 31 that can be connected to the part of back roof parts 6 by the passive element from the form of untie-sell 38 drivingly, described be used to replace from untie-sell 38 be generally used for one of chain pin that the contiguous links on the chain 31 is linked together.Be fixed to the link of plate 40 forms from untie-sell 38, described plate 40 is being fixed on the relative end on the back roof parts 6.The guide member of directing pin 39 forms also is fixed on the plate 40, so at any time is maintained fixed distance between untie-sell 38 and directing pin 39.
The guide rail that is formed on groove 32 forms in the elongated member is set for along the predetermined described guide member 39 of route guidance.Directing pin 39 cooperates with groove 32, and it moves through path that groove 32 complied with and guides and control like this.The guide rail that is appreciated that other form can be used, but simple groove is preferred, because its simple manufacturing cost is more effective.
The actuating device of electrical motor 35a form is used to cause chain 31 to move the primary importance that is positioned at the position of raised position with roof parts 6 after causing from untie-sell 38 from correspondence wherein alternatively and moves to the second place that corresponding wherein back roof parts 6 are in the position of stowed position.
Chain drive mechanism further comprises big gear wheel 35, and described big gear wheel 35 cooperates with chain 31 and drives by electrical motor 53a; Lower sprocket 37, described lower sprocket 37 cooperates with chain 31; Idle pulley gear 36, described idle pulley gear 36 cooperate with chain 31 and move to regulate the tension force in the chain 31 by chain condition apparatus (not shown); Last back sprocket wheel 33, the described back sprocket wheel 33 of going up cooperates with chain 31; And the sprocket wheel 34 of going forward that cooperates with chain 31.
With reference to Figure 27 best image, go forward and back sprocket wheel 34,33 has the S. A. that the basic horizontal of being placed in is settled respectively, but the diameter of preceding sprocket wheel 34 is less than last back sprocket wheel 33, and the path of chain 31 is tilted to down when going forward sprocket wheel 34 if the point like this on the chain 31 moves to from last sprocket wheel 33 afterwards.
Similarly, motor driven sprocket 35 is placed, and moves to the back during sprocket wheel 33 from motor driven sprocket 35, the path of point on being tilted on the chain 31 when the point on the chain 31 like this.
Lower sprocket 37 is positioned in all other sprocket wheel 33,34,35 and following and the place ahead of 36, like this when described when the sprocket wheel 34 of going forward moves to lower sprocket 37 point on the chain 31 along the downward path of vertical bank.The term vertical bank means that the path is relatively vertically to tilt less than 45 degree.
In the reality, need to settle the angle of this vertical bank identical with the vertical bank of the backrest that is coupled to front row 9, if and preferably the inclination of dress circle 9 limits or described position Be Controlled by the end brake component, automatically move to the predetermined vertical bank when vehicle 1 backrest when hatchback changes beginning like this.In a preferred embodiment, the inclination of backrest and dress circle 9 vertical (fore-aft) within passenger accommodation 12 is positioned to change to when the open formula begins and is provided with automatically.
But groove 32 along similar out-of-position path to chain 31, described chain 31 slopes downwardly into knee or the corner location of settling forward from the relative motor driven sprocket 35 of an end position near last back sprocket wheel 33, from described motor driven sprocket 35, it is along downward vertically slant path, be parallel in this case from go forward sprocket wheel 34 to 31 on the chain of lower sprocket 37 along the path.
Chain guide 41,42 be configured to guarantee chain 31 along at least from the sprocket wheel 33 of last back to sprocket wheel 34 and the predefined paths of going forward from there to lower sprocket 37.
Be appreciated that motor 35a can be fixed to other sprocket wheel 33,34,36 or one of 37, and sprocket wheel 35 can be simple idle pulley or band, chain idler wheel under these circumstances.
Chain 31 from the part that the end near the groove 32 of last back sprocket wheel 33 extends to the distance of the groove 32 of the sprocket wheel 34 of going forward must be less than from the distance between untie-sell 38 and the directing pin 39, because be fixed from the distance between untie-sell and the directing pin 38,39.Compare with the distance between driven and the directing pin 38,39 between chain 31 and the groove 32 distance with determine naturally when the drive pin 38 that is connected to chain 31 be positioned in back sprocket wheel 33 and go forward between the sprocket wheel 34 and directing pin 39 when being arranged in the counterpart of groove 32 after roof parts 6 angle that will be in.Preferably, the distance between the driven and directing pin 38,39 will be significantly greater than the distance between chain 31 and the groove 32, because this effect that has increased the angle of back roof parts 6 and reduced may cause the tolerance in the system that roof rocks when it is moved.
32 of chain 31 and grooves along the path determine the motion of back roof parts 6.Is to have relatively short almost horizontal upper part path and reverse " L " shape longer than vertical-path length from last back sprocket wheel 33 by sprocket wheel 34 to the path form of the chain 31 of lower sprocket 37 of going forward.The path of groove 32 is similar to reverse " L ".
The operation of harvesting mechanism 30 is as follows, and roof parts 6 are in raised position when the back, chain 31, is settled as Figure 14 from untie-sell 38 and directing pin 39 quilts.These positions separately are called as driven and primary importance directing pin 38,39.In primary importance, from untie-sell 38 motor driven sprocket 35 and on the part of the chain 31 of back between the sprocket wheel 33, directing pin 39 is positioned in tilting in the part of top than short in the groove 32.
When motor 35a be activated with will back roof parts 6 when raised position moves, motor driven sprocket 35 will begin to rotate in the counterclockwise direction.This rotation will initially cause driven and directing pin 38,39 to move towards each the 3rd position as shown in figure 15 backward and upwards from their primary importance separately, and back roof parts 6 also will move up backward and a little to reduce to be placed in the pressure on any sealing member of settling between the following body structure of back roof parts 6 and vehicle 1.Can be as seen from Figure 15, in the process of this operation cycle part, driven and directing pin 38,39 is along substantially parallel path.When it is in the 3rd position, be positioned in from untie-sell 38 in the bottom of back sprocket wheel 33, it just begins to cooperate by last back sprocket wheel 33 like this.
In Figure 16-18, next stage operation beginning, driven and directing pin 38,39 moves to the 4th position from their the 3rd position.When its in the 4th position the time, be positioned in from untie-sell 38 on the top of sprocket wheel 33, it just breaks away from from last back sprocket wheel 33 and cooperates like this.
In the process in this stage, driven and directing pin 38,39 are along different paths, because the girth from untie-sell 38 around last back sprocket wheel 33 moves, like this its motion mainly be upwards but directing pin this by the groove process in 32 determined stages in a little backward and move up.
Difference on the sense of motion causes back roof parts 6 rotation forward, and fall under the back of front roof parts 5 in the front of back roof parts 6 like this, and the back of front roof parts 5 is passed through in the front that allows back roof parts 6 thus in the operation in after a while stage.
Continuously on identical direction when mobile, driven and guide member 38,39 continues to move forward to Figure 20 each the 5th position of indication substantially from their each the 4th positions (as shown in Figure 19) at chain 31.In the 5th position, be positioned in from untie-sell 38 on the top of the sprocket wheel 34 of going forward, it just cooperates by last back sprocket wheel 34 like this.
In the process of this orbit period, driven and directing pin 38,39 mainly moves forward, although because the path of chain 31 and groove 32 is downward-sloping, also have some downward motions.Described motion is thus along each downward-sloping plane.This operational phase is that back roof parts 6 are had good positioning to prepare to be reduced to its storage location, and back roof parts 6 are by under the back of front roof parts 5.
Next stage is the rotation forward of roof parts 6 after finishing, and this realizes to move to the 6th position as shown in figure 21 from the 5th position shown in Figure 20 when centering on front gear 34 motions from untie-sell 38.Just break away from when it is in the 6th position from untie-sell 38 from the sprocket wheel 34 of going forward.
In the process of this operational phase, but static permission plate 40 rotations of directing pin 39 basic maintenances.In this position, directing pin 39 is on the knee in the groove 32 or near described knee.
The final step of described operation to be driven and guide member 38,39 from their each the 6th position move to their each second place is shown in Figure 22,23.In a second embodiment, be placed near still not cooperating from untie-sell 38 with lower gear 37.The storage location of roof parts 6 after the second place correspondence, and this motion mainly is downward.But, since chain 31 from the sprocket wheel 34 of going forward to path that lower sprocket 37 is complied with and the cause of the respective path of groove 32, the driven and motion of guide member 38 from each the 4th position to their each second place is actually along each vertical bank plane.
When each second place that arrives them from untie-sell 38 and directing pin 39, as indicated among Figure 23, motor 35a is closed, and back roof parts 6 are positioned in its installation site.Motor 35a when driven and directing pin 38,39 arrives their each second place by one or more sensor (not shown) by SELF CL.
Sensor can sensing supply among the motor 35a electric current or alternatively near or contact pickup can be used for disable motor 35a.
The position of the driven and directing pin 38,39 shown in Figure 24-26 identical with shown in Figure 23 because the motion of back roof 6 stops, has only the motion of front roof parts 5 to continue.
Be appreciated that by to electrical motor 35a excitation again, like this motor driven sprocket 35 beginnings rotation in the clockwise direction, the motion of back roof parts 6 will be oppositely, and it is got back to it and begins or raised position, and driven and directing pin 38,39 is retracted their primary importance, as shown in figure 14.
In the process of this inverse change, the back roof parts 6 at first stowed position from the passenger accommodation of vehicle 1 rise, and move backward before it is finally retracted forward and downwards then and also rotate backward to push the sealing member position between back roof parts 6 and the following body structure.
One of remarkable advantage of annular driver train is that the width or the thickness of annular drive element is very little.This can be from Figure 28 best image.
The narrow degree of the mechanism of this type means that chain or tape drive mechanism can be easy to encapsulate or be placed in the power actuated vehicle 1 and possible actuating unit such as the pressure head (rams) of some other forms is not to be easy to encapsulation.Be appreciated that when it is arranged in the position of rising back roof parts are seated in down in the body structure, therefore body structure is wide down, and it is placed in down on the body structure, but it is stored in down within the body structure when reducing.This part is realized by making vehicle be tapered by using wing flap and part, its position of putting than having a rest when raising at it on the when harvesting institute position of putting of having a rest is wide like this, and back roof parts are also wide on than its flat substantially position on the position of body structure under its adjacency.Back roof parts be tapered be back roof parts can be not allowing wing flap extend up to dress circle dress circle after harvesting and when it is received and kept after roof parts 6 can move under the front roof parts 5 with within method.
But harvesting back roof parts also are very problematic by this way, use very compact harvesting mechanism to use advantageous particularly for this kind.
In addition, disclosed chain drive mechanism provides a kind of back roof parts 6 that not only allow rotate by at least 45 degree but also with the back roof parts 6 downward devices that reduce with simple, cost effective and efficient manner, it is stored within the passenger accommodation easily like this, it occupies less space in described passenger accommodation, because it has the orientation of vertical bank.
Although the present invention uses simple chain drive to be described with reference to preferred embodiment, be appreciated that similar advantage can realize by the annular driver train that chain drive is replaced with other form, drive or the cingulum driving such as band.
Can further understand motor 35a can drive the power transmission that each chain drive on each side of power actuated vehicle is connected to identical motor by hydraulic electric motor is replaced and/or chain drive mechanism can be by having one or more axle drive shaft same motor or other.
Although the present invention with reference to have two roof parts roof structure be illustrated, be appreciated that it also can be applied in the roof structure that has more than two parts.For example, when all roof parts were in their position of rising, roof structure can have front roof parts, back roof parts and be arranged on middle roof parts between the forward and backward roof parts.In this case, middle roof parts can be independent parts, and one of the roof parts that perhaps are pivotably connected to other are with removable with those roof parts.
Be appreciated that, under the situation of described power actuated vehicle, back roof parts must move backward, rotate, move forward and be lowered to move to from its rising and dip, but it is not necessarily such, it can only need move forward, rotate and reduce, this depends on the structure of the sealing arrangement between back roof parts and other the roof parts, and when in the position that is raising, it is cooperated with described sealing arrangement.
Therefore, generally speaking, disclose a kind of simple chain drive mechanism, compact conformation is made economy, but more complicated rotation and moving movement can be provided, and described motion need be used to the roof parts are moved between rising and storage location.
Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative, those of ordinary skill are appreciated that and can make amendment to the present invention under the situation that does not deviate from spirit of the present invention and essence, its scope is by claims and be equal to and limit.
