  • Publication number: 20240166149
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a sunroof device having a window frame assembly, a pair of linkage assemblies, a panel assembly, a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector. The window frame assembly has a pair of rails. The linkage assemblies are disposed on the rails respectively. The panel assembly is disposed on the pair of linkage assemblies. The first electrical connector on the window frame assembly has a plugging slot and an opening, the opening is located at a side of the first electrical connector and extended to a top of the first electrical connector. The second electrical connector on the panel assembly has a conductive terminal. When the panel assembly rotates, the conductive terminal is plugged in the plugging slot through the opening and movable with the panel assembly in the opening.

  • Publication number: 20240116335
    Abstract: An anti-lift sunroof structure is provided, which can be opened and closed on an opening of a vehicle roof. The anti-lift sunroof structure includes a glass panel, a window frame, and a support element. The window frame includes a front frame bar, two side frame bars, and a rear frame bar. Two ends of each side frame bar are respectively connected to the front frame bar and the rear frame bar to form a mounting groove for installation of the glass panel. The support element is arranged corresponding to the front frame bar and includes a stop plate extended away from the rear frame bar. When the anti-lift sunroof structure is in a close position, the stop plate is located under the vehicle roof. Accordingly, sealing capability is prevented from being affected by excessive outward suction from a pressure difference when the vehicle is running at high speed.

  • Publication number: 20240116343
    Abstract: A window panel assembly includes a glass panel, a window frame and a sealing strip. The window frame is installed on the glass panel, the window frame includes an abutment seat extended therefrom. The abutment seat includes a connecting portion and an elastic arm portion. The connecting portion is connected to the window frame and the elastic arm portion. The elastic arm portion includes an abutment surface. The abutment seat includes blocking surfaces at two sides of the abutment surface. A buffer space is formed between the elastic portion and the window frame. The sealing strip is arranged at the window frame, and the sealing strip abuts against the blocking surfaces. Accordingly, the sealing effect of the window panel assembly during closing is improved without gaps.

  • Publication number: 20240116338
    Abstract: A sunroof device includes a glass panel, a window frame and a waterproof strip. The window frame is disposed on a periphery of the glass panel. A periphery of the window frame is outward extended with an end seat. The end seat is disposed with an end plug. The end plug projects from the end seat. A projecting direction of the end plug is parallel with an outer edge of the window frame. The waterproof strip is attached on the outer edge of the window frame and is in a hollow manner to form a receiving space therein. The receiving space is in a tubular manner. The end plug is extended along a longitudinal direction of the waterproof strip to be embedded in the receiving space of the waterproof strip.
