In this specification, the lateral direction refers to the width direction or the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the longitudinal direction refers to the longitudinal direction or the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

Referring to fig. 1, a roll screen tray 10 is an integrated roll screen tray for mounting a roll screen device of a sunroof assembly of a vehicle, and as shown in connection with fig. 3, the roll screen tray 10 is mounted to a sunroof frame 20, and generally, a winding shaft of the roll screen device is located between the sunroof frame 20 and the roll screen tray 10. The sunroof frame 20, to which the roll blind tray 10 is mounted, is fixed to the vehicle body, specifically, to the roof structure of the vehicle body, such that the sunroof frame 20 is located between the roof structure and the roll blind tray 10 in the area where the roll blind apparatus is located.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the roll screen tray 10 includes a main tray body 101 and side tray bodies 102, wherein the side tray bodies 102 are integrally provided with the main tray body 101, and the side tray bodies 102 are respectively extended from both sides of the main tray body 101 at an angle to form corner regions S of the roll screen tray, and therefore, the roll screen tray 10 forms the corner regions S of both sides through the side tray bodies 102 extended from both sides, and each corner region S includes a part of the main tray body 101 and the side tray body 102. Optionally, side tray bodies 102 extend from both sides of the main tray body 101, forming a substantially L-shaped corner region S. Preferably, the rolling shutter tray 10 has a symmetrical structure. As shown in connection with fig. 3, the main tray body 101 is arranged in the lateral direction of the vehicle, and a part of the side tray body 102 extends in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

More specifically, each corner region S is provided with a connection 11, and the connection 11 is used to fix the roller shutter tray 10 to the sunroof frame 20 of the vehicle sunroof assembly. Alternatively, the connecting portion 11 includes at least three connecting holes arranged in a triangle, and a connecting member (e.g., a bolt, a tapping screw, etc.) passes through the connecting holes and reaches a corresponding connecting structure on the sunroof frame 20, so that each side of the roll blind tray 10 is stably mounted on the sunroof frame 20. Further alternatively, the connecting portion 11 of each side corner region may also be provided with only one or two connecting holes. In order to facilitate the fixing of the roll screen tray 10 to the skylight frame 20, the roll screen tray 10 is optionally provided with a positioning portion (not shown) for pre-positioning the roll screen tray 10 to the skylight frame 20, for example, a positioning pin is provided on the skylight frame 20, and the positioning portion, such as the positioning hole, is engaged on the positioning pin to achieve the pre-positioning of the roll screen tray 10 on the skylight frame 20.

As shown in fig. 1, each corner region S is further provided with a mounting portion 12, the mounting portion 12 being for connection with the vehicle body via the sunroof frame 20, each mounting portion 12 including at least a first mounting portion 121 and a second mounting portion 122 located at different sides of the corner region S to improve the torsional rigidity of the corner position of the sunroof frame 20. The inventive roll screen tray 10 integrates the functions of a corner bracket, and simultaneously achieves the functions of supporting a roll screen device and enhancing torsional rigidity, compared to the roll screen tray in the prior art which only functions to support a roll screen device, and compared to the sunroof assembly which is complicated to install by a separately provided corner bracket.

Alternatively, the mounting portion 12 is a hole structure for attaching a fastener (e.g., a bolt, a tapping screw, etc.) which is fixed to the roof structure of the vehicle body through the mounting portion 12 of the roll blind tray 10, the sunroof frame 20, and the like in this order, wherein a through structure for passing the fastener is provided on the sunroof frame 20. Therefore, the mounting portions 12 of both sides of the roll blind tray 10 further attach the corner portions of the sunroof frame 20 to the roof structure of the vehicle body in addition to the sunroof frame 20 being connected to the roof structure of the vehicle body by its own attachment structure, thereby improving the torsional rigidity of the corner portions of the sunroof frame 20.

Preferably, the first mounting portion 121 is disposed on the main tray body 101, and the second mounting portion 122 is disposed at a position of the side tray body 102 away from the main tray body 101. Therefore, the first and second mounting

portions

121 and 122 are located at both sides of the rolling shutter tray 10, respectively, in the front-rear longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Taking the roller blind tray 10 shown in fig. 3 mounted to the rear portion (refer to the front-rear direction of the vehicle) of the sunroof frame 20 as an example, the first mounting portion 121 is located on the rear side of the main tray body 101, and the second mounting portion 122 is located on the front side of the side tray body 102.

In an alternative embodiment, the first mounting portion 121 is disposed on a lug extending from the main tray body 101, and/or the second mounting portion 122 is optionally disposed on a lug extending from the side tray body 102 to facilitate providing a reinforced mounting portion.

Further, as shown in fig. 1, each corner region S is further provided with a reinforcing portion 13, the reinforcing portion 13 extends at least between the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 122, and preferably, the extending direction of the reinforcing portion 13 substantially coincides with the extending direction of the connecting line between the first mounting portion 121 and the second mounting portion 122. After the sunroof frame 20 is fixed to the roof structure of the vehicle body by the fasteners passing through the first and second mounting

portions

121 and 122, the reinforcement portion 13 provides enhanced torsional rigidity between the first and

second mounting portions

121 and 122, thereby improving the torsional rigidity of the corner portion of the sunroof frame 20 between the first and second mounting

portions

121 and 122. In addition, referring to fig. 1, it can be seen that the connection part 11 is located between the first and

second mounting parts

121 and 122, which helps to reinforce the connection strength of the connection part 11 with the reinforcement part 13.

The material of the rolling shutter tray 10 may be selected to be metal, so that the reinforcing portion 13 may be formed by press forming, for example, by punching concave/convex portions on a metal sheet member to form the reinforcing portion 13. In addition, the metallic roller shutter tray 10 also has a function of conducting static electricity, and static electricity accumulated during the repeated winding or unwinding of the roller shutter fabric of the roller shutter device can be conducted to the sunroof frame or the vehicle body by the contact of the metallic roller shutter tray 10 with the sunroof frame 20 or the direct contact with the vehicle body.

As shown in fig. 2, the roll blind tray 10 has a non-planar three-dimensional structure, and the main tray body 101 is provided with a roll blind fabric support rib 1011, a roller receiving groove 1012, and a jig mounting groove 1013 for mounting a roof lining.
