I have been reporting to you about the brands and products of the new forces. Compared with traditional brands, these new forces are often better at creating surprises for you in product details. Many models of New Power left a deep impression on me at the product launch. The "new gadgets" mentioned by technicians always catch the eye, such as the "transparent A-pillar" launched on Nezha U, the extended range mode of Li one and so on. Recently, the patent applied by Xpeng Automobile has surprised many people who eat melons. What do you know about liftable roofs?
Recently, Niuche.com obtained an invention patent from Guangzhou Xpeng Motors Technology Co., Ltd. from official website, China National Intellectual Property Administration, which is a lifting roof device. The patent points out: "The invention discloses a liftable roof device for vehicles, which comprises a vehicle body and a front windshield assembly, wherein the front windshield assembly is arranged at the top front side of the vehicle body, and the liftable roof device comprises a roof assembly pivotally arranged at the top of the vehicle body and located at the rear side of the front windshield assembly. When the roof assembly is in the closed position, the front windshield assembly and the roof assembly are closed at the top of the vehicle body. When the roof assembly is pivoted from the closed position to the open position,
Patents generally mean that the roof can be raised upward to improve the head space in the back row of the vehicle and increase certain comfort. After all, the slip back design is widely used and has become a very popular design. However, most models are directly affected by styling, which will directly lead to insufficient head space in the rear row. The purpose of this patent is also to solve this problem. To be honest, even if this configuration appears after mass production of new cars, is it possible to be used? After all, raising the roof will bring greater wind resistance, which is not conducive to energy saving. If it is to increase the riding and loading space, then I think we should learn from Honda's MM concept and bring surprises under the existing structure. I hope that mass production of this patent will not become a gimmick in new cars in the future.
In fact, last year Porsche applied for a patented technology with adjustable roof. This patent aims to improve driving comfort in automatic driving mode. This patented technology can change the interior space of the vehicle by adjusting the shape of the roof to ensure that both drivers and passengers can enjoy the riding environment comfortably. However, the follow-up official also said that the technology is still a long way from mass production. In contrast, Tucki's patent on lifting roof is better than Porsche's.
