Vehicle roof module
View Patent ↗A vehicle roof module has a glass roof part extending at least over a portion of a vehicle roof surface, the lower face of which overlaps in some regions with a vehicle roof lining. A sunshade unit having a textile is provided, which, in order to shade a vehicle interior, can be arranged so as to be detachable by means of a magnetic connection unit between the lower face of the glass roof part and the vehicle interior. The connection unit has at least one groove extending in the transverse direction or in the longitudinal direction of the glass roof part, which groove is formed so as to be open on a side of the vehicle roof lining facing away from the vehicle interior. A molded part which is adapted to the shape of the groove can be hooked into the groove from above and is rigidly connected to the textile. The connection unit is formed with at least one magnet in the region of the groove, and the molded part consists at least in some regions of ferromagnetic metal. Alternatively, the connection unit may be formed with a ferromagnetic metal in the region of the groove, whereas the molded part has at least one magnet.
1 . A vehicle roof module, comprising:
a glass roof part extending at least over a portion of a vehicle roof surface, a lower face of which overlaps in some regions with a vehicle roof lining;
a sunshade unit having a textile which, in order to shade a vehicle interior, is arranged so as to be detachable via a magnetic connection unit between the lower face of the glass roof part and a vehicle interior,
wherein
the magnetic connection unit has at least one groove extending in a transverse direction or in a longitudinal direction of the glass roof part, at least one groove is provided in a region of the vehicle roof lining which adjoins the glass roof part,
the at least one groove is formed so as to be open on a side of the vehicle roof lining facing away from the vehicle interior, into which at least one molded part of the magnetic connection unit is hooked from above, a shape of which is adapted to the shape of the at least one groove,
the at least one molded part is rigidly connected to the textile of the sunshade unit, and
(i) the at least one groove is formed with at least one magnet or as a magnet, and the at least one molded part is made of ferromagnetic metal at least in some regions, or
(ii) the at least one groove is formed with a ferromagnetic metal, and the at least one molded part is formed with at least one magnet.
2 . The vehicle roof module according to claim 1 , wherein
the vehicle roof lining and the glass roof part are at a distance from one another in a vertical direction in the region of the at least one groove and delimit at least one gap, through which the at least one molded part is hookable into the groove and is removable therefrom.
3 . The vehicle roof module according to claim 1 , wherein
at least one guide element is arranged on the vehicle roof lining and/or on the glass roof part, along the at least one guide element the at least one molded part is hooked into the at least one groove or is removed therefrom while being guided in a defined manner.
4 . The vehicle roof module according to claim 1 , wherein
the magnetic connection unit comprises at least one additional groove extending in the transverse direction or in the longitudinal direction of the glass roof part, at least one additional groove is arranged at a distance from the at least one groove in the longitudinal direction of the glass roof part and is positioned on a side of the vehicle roof lining facing away from the vehicle interior,
at least one additional molded part is connected to the textile, which can be hooked into the at least one additional groove or can be removed therefrom through an additional gap between the glass roof part and the vehicle roof lining,
the at least one additional groove or the at least one additional molded part having a magnet, whereas the at least one additional molded part or the at least one additional groove is formed at least in some regions with a ferromagnetic metal.
5 . The vehicle roof module according to claim 4 , wherein
a length of the textile and a distance between the groove and additional groove in the longitudinal direction or in the transverse direction of the glass roof part are coordinated with one another such that, when the at least one molded part and the at least one additional molded part are hooked in, the textile has a defined fabric tension, relative to which the textile has a substantially planar progression between the at least one groove and the at least one additional groove.
6 . The vehicle roof module according to claim 4 , wherein
the textile is connected in a region between the at least one groove and the at least one additional groove to tensioning elements extending in the transverse direction, in the longitudinal direction, and/or in the diagonal direction of the glass roof part, which tensioning elements attach the textile at least in some regions to the lower face of the glass roof part when the at least one molded part and the at least one additional molded part are hooked in.
7 . The vehicle roof module according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one molded part and/or the at least one groove comprises a plurality of magnets at a distance from one another in the transverse direction or in the longitudinal direction of the glass roof part.
