Technical Field

The present invention relates to a roof assembly for a vehicle roof, in particular for a vehicle roof having a movable roof element. The invention also relates to a vehicle roof having such a roof opening.

Background

The roof of the motor vehicle can have a roof opening which is closed by a movable roof element and is selectively at least partially released. For example, a seal is provided for sealing the vehicle roof by means of the movable roof element. Such a seal should prevent incoming water from reaching the roof or the dry area of the vehicle.

Disclosure of Invention

It is desirable to provide a roof assembly that achieves a reliable seal. It is also desirable to provide a vehicle roof having such a roof assembly that can be reliably sealed.

According to one aspect, a roof assembly for a vehicle roof has a movable roof element. The roof has a top opening. The movable roof element is arranged to selectively close the roof opening or at least partially release the roof opening. The roof element is, for example, held by a frame of the roof assembly, which is first constructed separately from the vehicle roof. The top assembly has a rope seal profile. The sealing profile is arranged on the sealing side for sealing relative to the movable top element. The sealing profile can be fastened to the vehicle roof on the fastening side. The sealing profile has a sealing tube running longitudinally along a longitudinal axis. The sealing hose encloses an inner space, which is referred to as a cavity. The sealing profile has a recess which extends through the sealing tube transversely to the longitudinal axis, so that the fastening side is fluidically connected to the sealing side.

The sealing profile can be arranged for sealing relative to the movable roof element and can be fastened to the vehicle roof. In the ready state, the sealing profile is provided for sealing against the vehicle roof and is fastened to the vehicle roof. In particular, the sealing profile is arranged to be arranged between the vehicle roof and the movable roof element in its closed position and to seal between the vehicle roof and the movable roof element. The sealing profile is thus fastened or can be fastened in the ready state to the component which is also to be sealed relative to it.

For example, when a vehicle is manufactured, the seal profile building material is adhered to a roof or a vehicle body in white (Rohbau). The seal profile thus serves as an interface and seal between the roof module and the vehicle roof. In particular, no unattached blemishes occur during the application, in which, for example, the adhesive bond does not adhere completely to the vehicle roof. Accordingly, it may be that this connection region between the sealing profile and the vehicle roof is not sufficient to seal off water. In the event of water ingress, a water path can be created which can lead into the interior of the vehicle. This water can, for example, reach the dry region of the vehicle roof, as a rule. Thus, it is common for example for the roof module or the inner roof of the vehicle to be undesirably wetted by incoming water.

The roof module according to the invention has a recess through which the incoming water can be guided in a controlled manner. Water which enters the fastening side during operation due to insufficient fastening of the sealing profile on the vehicle roof is guided through the recess to the sealing side. On the sealing side, there is a water guide channel which can guide and guide the entering water in a controlled manner in the top assembly. Water which undesirably enters at the fastening side of the sealing profile is thus prevented by means of the recess from reaching the roof module or the dry region of the vehicle. For example, by means of a tube, into a recess in the sealing profile, thus establishing a connection or channel from the roof or body shell to the region of the roof module that conducts water.

By means of controlled, channeled drainage, the water which is brought about by the sealing profile fastening which is not carried out as intended is guided through the recess in a targeted manner into the water-guiding region. It is thus avoided that the water is led into the dry zone and reaches other water-sensitive areas without restriction. The overall robustness and reliability of the roof module is thus increased even when the fastening of the sealing profile is carried out incorrectly.

According to at least one embodiment, the cavity is fluidly connected with the cavity. The cavity is thus simultaneously vented by means of the recess, for example when the sealing profile or the sealing hose is pressed together. The volume reduction due to the squeezing together or the volume increase due to the loose sealing of the hose can thus be achieved simply fluidically by means of the recess. The hollow thus fulfils the dual function of, on the one hand, guiding the incoming water and, on the other hand, acting as an air channel, allowing air to be expelled from the interior of the cavity or to be introduced into the cavity.

According to at least one embodiment, the recess is designed to slope away from the cavity, starting from the fastening side. It is thus possible to avoid that the running water reaches the cavity. Furthermore, a steep inclination of the recess is achieved in the ready state. This ensures that the water flows in the direction of the sealing side. It is also possible to configure the inclination of the recess only partially, and according to an embodiment, the recess is configured differently in different regions. It is also possible for the recess to be formed with the same inclination as its entire length.

According to at least one embodiment, the sealing profile has a drip lip (abtrplip) on the sealing side. The drip lip is configured, for example, to project longitudinally outward in order to configure a reliable transition to the water guide channel. The recessed configuration is between the drip lip and the cavity. Water entering at the fastening side is conducted through the recess onto the upper side of the drip lip. The drip lip is provided to reliably guide water entering at the sealing side into the water guide channel. Additionally, the drip lip is also suitable for reliably guiding water from the recess to the water guiding channel, based on the arrangement of the recess above the drip lip.

According to at least one embodiment, the sealing profile has a plug region on the fastening side. The plug region serves to fasten the sealing profile to the vehicle roof by means of a plug connection. A hollow formation extends between the plug region and the sealing side and between the plug region and the sealing side. The plug region is in particular prestressed so strongly that in operation the incoming water is guided along the plug connection in the region without recesses. The water is thus guided along the plug region into the recess and there is a controlled flow guidance.

According to at least one embodiment, the sealing profile has an adhesive surface. On the adhesive surface, the first sealing profile can be fastened to the vehicle roof by means of an adhesive. The recess extends between the adhesive side and the sealing side. In particular, both the plug-in area and the adhesive surface are provided. The sealing profile can be fastened to the roof module during operation both by means of the plug connection and by means of the adhesive. For example, the sealing profile is first pre-fixed to the roof by means of a plug connection and then applied by means of an adhesive, for example by means of a double-sided adhesive tape or other adhesive. The plug connection additionally serves, for example, for conducting water along the longitudinal extent of the sealing tube to the recess.

According to at least one embodiment, the sealing profile has a plurality of recesses. The recesses are in particular all configured according to at least one embodiment described herein. For example, the recesses are all of the same type. It is also possible to configure the individual recesses differently from one another, for example depending on the arrangement along the sealing profile or the arrangement provided with respect to the vehicle roof. For example, the recesses have a spacing of 300mm from each other. Different spacings between the individual recesses are also possible, and in particular also spacings of more or less than, for example, 100 mm. For example, the sealing tube can then be drilled into the recess in accordance with the production of the sealing tube by means of an extrusion process. It is also possible that the recesses are already introduced during extrusion, for example by means of extrusion tool technology (for example, a Flie β kanals perschereber).

According to at least one embodiment, the vehicle roof has a roof assembly according to at least one embodiment described herein. The cable-type sealing profile is fastened to the vehicle roof, in particular is glued to the vehicle roof, and separates the dry region from the wet region of the vehicle roof. The recess extends between the dry zone and the wet zone. It is thus possible to achieve a guidance of the water into the wet zone by means of the recesses before it diffuses uncontrolled into the dry zone.

According to at least one embodiment, the sealing profile is fastened to the vehicle roof by means of an adhesive. The bond is, for example, a physical separation between the dry and wet areas. The adhesive portion forms a fastening of the sealing profile on the vehicle roof or the body in white.

Alternatively or additionally, the sealing profile according to at least one embodiment is fastened to the vehicle roof by means of a plug connection. The plug connection also serves for sealing between the dry and wet regions and for the controlled introduction of water from the dry region into the wet region.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 shows a roof 101 of a motor vehicle 200. The vehicle roof 101 is in particular a vehicle-mounted roof, which is also referred to as a roof shell (dachhout) and is, for example, part of the body shell of the motor vehicle 200. The roof 101 surrounds a roof opening 102. The top opening 102 is selectively closed or at least partially releasable by means of a movable top element 103 which can be moved along the x direction.

The movable top element 103 (also called cover) is held by a frame 104. The frame 104 has, for example, guide rails fastened on both sides of the top opening 102 in the vehicle roof 101. The frame has, in particular, further elements which are arranged, for example, transversely to the x direction along the front side of the top opening 102. The frame 104 serves, inter alia, to guide the movement of the top element 103 and to hold other elements, such as a drive motor and/or cables. The roof element 103 and the frame 104 are in particular part of a roof assembly 100 which can be used as a separate assembly from the vehicle roof 101.

Fig. 2 illustrates a schematic cross-sectional view of a roof assembly 100 according to one embodiment. In addition to the top element 103 and the frame 104, the top assembly 100 also has a rope seal profile 110. The sealing profile 110 has a main direction of extent which extends longitudinally and along which the sealing profile 110 is significantly longer than in the two directions transverse thereto. For example, the longitudinally running sealing profile 110 runs significantly longer along the front side of the top opening 102 in the y direction than in the z direction and the x direction. The x, y and z directions are in particular perpendicular to each other.

The first seal profile 110 serves for sealing the movable roof element 113 relative to the vehicle roof 101. In the case of a closed vehicle roof 101, i.e. when the roof element 103 is arranged completely in the roof opening 102, the seal profile 110 will seal to the greatest extent at the transition between the vehicle roof 101 and the roof element 103.

The sealing profile 110 has a sealing hose 113. The sealing hose 113 encloses a cavity 115. The cavity 115 is filled with, for example, air or another fluid. The sealing hose 113 is in contact with the roof element 103 and the vehicle roof 101, for example, in the closed position of the roof element 113. The sealing hose has a fastening side 111, which faces the roof 101. The sealing hose 113 has a sealing side 114 facing the top element 103. The fastening side 111 and the sealing side 114 are arranged opposite and opposite to each other. The sealing side 114 is formed on a side 140 of the sealing tube 113 facing away from the fastening side 111. The region of the sealing profile 110 on the fastening side 111 is formed, for example, by the solid body 105. Exemplary materials are EPDM, sponge rubber, NBR or silicone rubber. The sealing profile is made of a softer material, for example of a sponge rubber 106, on the sealing side 114. Other rubber materials, rubber-like or rubber-like materials, such as foamed materials, can also be used.

The sealing profile 110 is fastened to the vehicle roof 101 on the fastening side 111 by means of an adhesive 120. The adhesive is formed in particular on an adhesive surface 119 of the weatherstrip 110 and on an opposite, corresponding contact surface of the vehicle roof 101. The adhesive portion is formed, for example, by an adhesive tape or another adhesive portion. The adhesive 120 is formed in particular in a plane having its main extension in the z direction.

The seal profile 110 has a plug region 117. By means of the plug region 117, a plug connection 118 to the vehicle roof 101 can be formed. The sealing profile can therefore be fastened to the vehicle roof 101 not only by means of the plug connection 118 but also by means of the adhesive 120. For example, the plug connection 118 is used for pre-fixing until the seal profile 110 is glued on. In the normal operating position of vehicle 101, adhesive 120 is configured above plug connection 118 in the z-direction.

Along the x-direction or the y-direction, depending on whether the sealing profile 110 is arranged along the front side or along the x-direction on the side of the top opening 102, a recess 116 is introduced into the sealing profile 110 and in particular into the sealing hose 113. According to an embodiment, a plurality of identically designed recesses 116 are introduced, which are spaced apart from one another (see also fig. 3).

The recess 116 is produced, for example, by means of drilling or is already formed repeatedly during the extrusion of the sealing tube 113. The recess is surrounded by the sealing tube 113, so that it extends from the sealing side 114 up to the plug region 117 and also up to the adhesive 120. The recess constitutes a channel between the adhesive surface 119 and the sealing side 114, which channel is configured for fluid communication between the adhesive surface 119 and the sealing side 114. The recess 116 is configured such that liquid and gas can pass through said recess 16 to reach, in particular from the roof 101 and the fastening side 111 to the sealing side 114 and the water guide channel 130. The recess 116 is configured such that water can pass through it from the adhesive surface 119 or the fastening side 111 to the sealing side 114. The recess has, for example, a diameter of more than 0.1mm up to 5mm, in particular a diameter of 1mm, 1.5mm or 2 mm.

The recess 116 is at least sectionally inclined with respect to a horizontal plane. The side of the recess 116 facing the fastening side 111 is arranged higher in the z-direction than the side of the recess 116 facing the sealing side 114. The recess 116 is therefore formed so as to be inclined downward toward the sealing side 114.

The adhesive part 120 is first arranged as seen from above in the z-direction. Plug connection 118 is then arranged and recess 116 is then arranged. The recess 116 is arranged below the cavity 115 along the z-direction.

On the sealing side, a drip lip 112 is provided below the recess 116. The drip lip 112 serves to controllably drip water into the water guide channel 130. The water guide channel 130 is formed, for example, on the cover frame 112 of the roof element 113, for example, a cover foam cushion. The water guide channel 130 can also be formed on the frame 104.

In operation, the free end 122 of the sealing hose 113 seals the sealing profile 110 on the upper side with respect to the vehicle roof 101. Here, a correct adhesion of the sealing profile 110 to the vehicle roof 101 is necessary. If the seal at the free end 122 is not a percent seal, water 107 may reach between the roof 101 and the seal profile 110. The water reaches the plug connection 118 along the fastening side 111 and the adhesive surface 119. Where the water is then directed toward the hollow 116.

Water passes from plug connection 118 through recess 116 to drip lip 112. From there, the water then passes in a controlled manner into the water guide channel 130 and can continue to be guided in a controlled manner. The water 107 which undesirably reaches the dry region 108 is thus guided in a controlled manner into the wet region 109 by means of the recess 116. In particular, the seal at the plug connection 118 is so strong that water cannot pass through the plug connection 118, but is guided along the plug connection 118 to the recess 116. The seal profile 110 is firmly pressed onto the vehicle roof 101 at the plug connection 118. At the recess 116, water can also be conducted through the plug connection 118. The incoming water 107 is diverted above the drip lip 112 and directed in line toward the conventional water management system of the roof assembly 100.

The recess 116 is formed in the z-direction between the drip lip 112 of the sealing hose 113 and the cavity 115. The recess 116 is for example arranged such that there is a connection between the cavity 115 and the recess 116. Thus, fluid (e.g., air) can be expelled from cavity 115 or blown into cavity 115 through recess 116. This can be advantageous in particular when the sealing hose 113 is squeezed together with the closed top element 103.

According to an embodiment, the sealing profile 110 can have a further sealing hose or a sealing element, for example a further sealing hose 125. The further sealing hose is also made of soft sponge rubber, for example, and serves for sealing against the frame 104 below the vehicle roof 101. A nose 126 is formed at the further sealing hose 125, which nose is part of the plug connection 118. In the illustrated embodiment, the nose 126 is constructed of a solid body 105 and is constructed more rigidly than the sponge rubber 106. In contrast, a further nose 124 is formed on the first sealing tube 113 in the plug region 117. The noses 124, 126 are each part of the plug connection 118. In the illustrated embodiment, the nose 124 is constructed of a harder solid body 105 and is harder than the sponge rubber 106.

Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the top assembly 100. The sealing tube 113 is fastened to the vehicle roof 101 by means of an adhesive connection 120 and a plug connection 118. The recess 116 is arranged along the longitudinal extent of the sealing tube 113 and connects the fastening side 111 with the sealing side 114, so that water 107 reaching the adhesive 120 can be guided in a controlled manner through the sealing tube 113 to the drip lip 112. Between the recesses 116, in each case, a through-region 123 is arranged in which no recess 116 is formed. In the through-opening 123, the sealing tube 113 completely surrounds the cavity 115 in cross section and no connection is formed between the fastening side 111 and the sealing side 114 through the sealing tube 113.

The respective spacing between the hollows 116 is for example in the region of 300mm (or more or less, for example 500mm, 400mm, 300mm, 200mm or 100 mm). The spacing can also be different, so that each recess 116 is arranged more relative to the immediately adjacent recess 116 than to the others.

Fig. 4 illustrates a roof assembly 100 according to another embodiment. The embodiment according to fig. 4 is basically based on the roof module explained in connection with fig. 2. In contrast, the nose 126 on the second sealing hose 125 is constructed of the softer sponge rubber 106. This is useful, for example, for a higher seal with respect to the vehicle roof 101.

Fig. 5 illustrates a roof assembly 100 according to another embodiment. The top assembly 100 according to fig. 5 substantially corresponds to the embodiment described in connection with fig. 2. However, the second airtight hose 125 is not provided. The drip lip 112 is longer in length for this purpose and extends in particular in the z direction from the recess 116 up to at least the upper edge of the frame 104. Thus, water is reliably guided from the recess 116 through the drip lip 112 into the water guide channel 113 and can also be prevented from entering the dry zone 108 on the frame 104 without the second sealing hose 125. The two noses 124, 126 of the plug connection 118 are formed from a hard solid body 105.

As shown in fig. 6, in the exemplary embodiment according to fig. 5, the nose 126, which is pressed in the z direction from below toward the vehicle roof 101, can also be formed from the softer sponge rubber 106.

In the embodiment according to fig. 7, the nose 126 made of sponge rubber 106, which is additional to that of fig. 6, is configured with an additional sealing region 127. The additional sealing region 127 is also formed by the sponge rubber 106. An additional sealing area 127 is configured between the nose 126 and the drip lip 112. The additional sealing region 127 is also sealed from below against the vehicle roof 101.

According to the embodiment of fig. 8, the sponge rubber seal 106 in addition to fig. 7 also makes it possible to construct the nose 124 from a softer sponge rubber 106, which presses onto the roof 101 from above. Thus, the plug connection 108 is entirely made of the sponge rubber 106. This results in a higher seal against the body-in-white of the vehicle roof 101. The water is thus reliably guided along the plug connection and in particular along the nose 124 up to the recess 116. According to another embodiment, the nose 127 is omitted and the plug connection 118 is configured with noses 124 and 126.

Fig. 8 illustrates a roof assembly 100 according to another embodiment. The embodiment according to fig. 8 is basically based on the roof module explained in connection with fig. 2. In contrast, the recess 116 is formed in the plug region 116. The recess 116 is drilled vertically in the z-direction into the sealing hose 113. The cavity 116 is not fluidly connected to the cavity 115. The risk of backflow of water 107 into the cavity 115 can be reduced. The recess 116 is for example arranged between the second sealing hose 125 and the drip lip 112. The recess 116 is for example arranged between the bonding portion 120 and the drip lip 112. The recess 116 is disposed, for example, between the nose 126 and the drip lip 112. The recess 116 is arranged in the x-direction or y-direction on the side of the drip lip 112 facing away from the sealing side 114. The drip lip 112 is disposed between the recess 116 and the sealing side 114.

The recess 116 extends vertically in the region of the nose 124 along the vertical direction z. The recess extends vertically between the top frame 101 and the cover frame 121 in the position shown. The recess 116 is configured below the nose 124. The recess 116 is formed below the adhesive surface 119 of the sealing profile 110. The recess 116 is formed below the adhesive portion 120. The hollow configuration seals the fluid connection between the fastening side 111 and the underside 141 of the hose 113. The underside 141 faces away from the roof 101 and, in the illustrated position, faces the cover frame 121. The underside 141 is formed on the side 140 of the sealing tube 113 facing away from the fastening side 111. The recess 116 is formed in the region of the sealing tube 113 formed by the solid body 105.

The sealing profiles 110 according to the different embodiments each have at least one recess 116 for channeled drainage. The water 107 entering along the adhesive surface 119 up to the plug region 117 due to the irregularly formed adhesive 120 is therefore guided in a targeted manner into the water discharge region, for example into the water guide channel 130. Thus, water that undesirably reaches plug region 117 avoids reaching dry zone 108 and spreading unrestricted there. The error-susceptibility of the overall system of the top part 100 is therefore reduced, since the incoming water is conducted away in a controlled manner even in the case of an incorrect application of the adhesive 120.

The invention is not limited thereto by the description according to the embodiments. Rather, the invention encompasses all novel features and all combinations of features, in particular all combinations of features in the claims, even if this feature or this combination is not specified in detail in the claims or exemplary embodiments. For example, it is possible to combine different configurations of the plug connection 118 with different noses from the individual figures with features from the other figures. Additionally or alternatively, for example, different configurations of the recesses 116 can be combined with one another and with other features (for example different plug connections 118). For example, the sealing profile 110 has not only at least one obliquely extending recess 116 (as shown in fig. 2 to 8) but also at least one vertically extending recess 116 (as shown in fig. 9). It is also possible for the sealing profile 110 to have only obliquely running recesses 116, as shown in fig. 2 to 8. It is also possible for the sealing profile 110 to have only vertically extending recesses 116, as shown in fig. 9.
