Claims

1. A motorized roof system, comprising an engine platform (1); roof panels (9) pivotally supported on the engine platform (1) for movement between a closed position of a roof and an open position of the roof; an upper rail profile (8) secured on the engine platform (1) for supporting the roof panels (9) for displacement between the closed and open positions; a linear motor (3) located in a mechanical processing area (10) for angularly displacing the roof panels (9) from a closed position to the open position; a linear motor arm (4) connecting the linear motor (3) with the roof panels (9); an upper rail motion arm (6) connecting the linear motor arm (4) with the upper rail profile (8); a locking rail (5) for securing the roof panels (9) in a selected position on the upper rail profile (8); a tubular motor (2) supported on the engine platform (1) for displacing the roof panels (9) to the closed position thereof; and an automation system (12) for controlling operation of the motorized roof system and including a modem (11).

2. A motorized roof system according to claim 1, wherein the locking rail (5) is formed as a notched rail for providing mechanical stability.

3. A motorized roof system according to claim 1, wherein the upper rail motion arm (6) comprises a locking rail movement arm (7) for applying a closing force to the locking rail (5).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(10) The engine platform (1) has a tube motor (2) inside. This engine is used to close and open the panels. The linear motor (3) with the movement of the upper rail, gives angle to the panels.

(11) In the position where the linear motor (3) is the shortest, the roof panels (9) are closed and where the linear motor (3) is the longest the roof panels (9) are in 110 open stage. In this position, the roof panels (9) are collected backwards by a movement of the tube motor (2) or are opened forwards by the movement in the other direction.

(12) The roof opening/closing movement of the roof system works in the form of a parallel edge. The parallel edge structure consisting of the mechanical processing area (10), the upper rail motion arm (6), the upper rail profile (8) and the linear motor arm (4). The parallel edge structure is used to control the roof panels (9) by 10 to 120 movement of the linear motor arm (4) and move the roof panels to 0 to 110.

(13) The inability to open after 90 of the known state of the art is overcome by the engagement of the upper wheels of the roof panels (9) with the upper rail profile (8) via the locking rail (5).

(14) During the movement of the roof panels (9) between 0 and 100, the lock rails (5) and the roof panel (9) wheels are locked in the upper rail profile (8).

(15) After 100, the locking rail movement arm (7) starts to be rotated by the upper rail motion arm (6). This movement allows the locking rail to be released from the upper wheels of the roof panel (9), and to release the roof panels (9) from the upper side.

(16) During the entire opening movement, the lower wheels of the roof panels (9) are forced to stay stationary with the chains between the belt and the lower wheels on which the tube motor (2) is being pulled. In this case, the formed parallel edge structure can be transferred to the roof panels (9). During closing of the roof panels (9), the spring connected to the locking rail movement arm (7) applies a force in the closing direction to the locking rail (5). The notches on the locking rail (5) again start to hold the top wheels of the roof panels (9). The rail completely locked at 100 eliminates the known mechanical instability of the resulting technique at 90. Since the roof panes (9) are provided with a linear motor (3) and this motor is locked even when the engine is not working, it is not necessary to install the whole roof system sloping.

(17) The product can be operated with the help of a single remote control. A special automation system is available for this function. The automation system (12) removes the additional costs such as erroneous use which can cause installation and service charges due to improper use. The motor platform (1) is assembled with the modem (11) and placed in front of the roof panel (9).

(18) Thanks to the software written in the integrated circuit, the opening and closing and retraction functions of the roof panels (9) can be performed automatically without mechanically moving the mechanical parts. The electronic software in the interior area sets the limit for how far backward the roof panel (9) should be pulled down. The sensor box functions in front of the panel for this purpose.
