Detailed Description

The deflector device provided in the sunroof device according to the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to fig. 1 to 5.

In the present embodiment, the sunroof apparatus 1 is mounted on the roof 3 of the vehicle. The sunroof device 1 includes: a pair of guide rails 12 provided oppositely in the vehicle width direction; a front housing 13 extending in the vehicle width direction and connecting front end portions of the pair of guide rails 12; a movable panel 11; and a baffle means 2.

When a guide member (not shown) supporting the movable panel 11 moves rearward in the vehicle longitudinal direction (hereinafter simply referred to as "rearward") along the pair of guide rails 12, the movable panel 11 moves rearward to expose the sunroof opening 10, thereby opening the sunroof apparatus 1.

The baffle device 2 includes: an upper frame 20; a pair of deflector arms 21; a lower frame 22 and a mesh member 23.

The upper side frame 20 extends in the vehicle width direction, and a pair of deflector arms 21 extends in the vehicle front-rear direction from both ends of the upper side frame 20 in the vehicle width direction, respectively. One ends of the pair of deflector arms 21 remote from the upper side frame 20 are respectively pivoted to both side edge portions in the vehicle width direction of the sunroof apparatus 1 of the roof 3, and more specifically, the pair of deflector arms 21 are pivoted to front end portions of the pair of guide rails 12 by shaft portions 26 extending in the vehicle width direction.

The upper frame 20 moves up and down in accordance with the rotation of the pair of deflector arms 21. More specifically, the upper frame 20 swings about the shaft 26 between a storage position located at a lower position and a deployed position located obliquely rearward and upward. The deflector arm 21 is always biased toward the deployed position by a biasing member, not shown. When the sunroof apparatus 1 is closed, the upper frame 20 is in the storage position and stored below the movable panel 11, see the upper frame 20 shown by the solid lines in fig. 1. When the movable panel 11 moves rearward to open the sunroof apparatus 1, the deflector arm 21 is rotated by the biasing force of a biasing member not shown to move the upper frame 20 to the deployed position, and the upper frame 20 shown by a chain line in fig. 2 is located at the fully deployed position.

The lower frame 22 is attached to the sunroof apparatus 1 and extends in the vehicle width direction. More specifically, the lower frame 22 is fixedly attached to the front case 13 and is located below the top surface of the roof 3 in the vehicle vertical direction.

The mesh member 23 (skin) is, for example, a cloth with mesh holes. The upper end of the mesh member 23 is connected to the upper frame 20. The lower end of the mesh member 23 is connected to the lower frame 22. The connection here may be direct connection or indirect connection via another member. The upper end of the mesh member 23 herein means an end located above when the mesh member 23 is completely unfolded, and the lower end of the mesh member 23 herein means an end located below when the mesh member 23 is completely unfolded.

The mesh member 23 shown by a solid line in fig. 2 is in a stored state, and as the upper frame 20 moves from the stored position to the expanded position, the mesh member 23 is gradually expanded and stretched between the upper frame 20 and the lower frame 22 in a planar manner so as to be inclined rearward and upward, and the mesh member 23 shown by a chain line in fig. 2 is in a fully expanded state. The mesh member 23 has a width dimension substantially corresponding to the sunroof opening 10, and when the sunroof apparatus 1 is opened, air blown into the vehicle interior from the front of the vehicle through the sunroof opening 10 is rectified, thereby preventing air vibration caused by wind being caught in the vehicle interior.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the mesh member 23 is formed with wrinkles 5 extending in the vehicle width direction. However, the pleats 5 may extend in the vehicle width direction as long as the pleats 5 extend substantially in the vehicle width direction, and the extending direction of the pleats 5 is not necessarily parallel to the vehicle width direction.

The pleats 5 are formed in the mesh member 23 by ironing the mesh member 23, for example. The ironing temperature is preferably 150 ℃ or higher and 250 ℃ or lower, and more preferably about 200 ℃.

In the present embodiment, the wrinkles 5 are formed in the center and both sides of the mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction. Wherein the formation of wrinkles 5 in the center of mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction means that wrinkles 5 straddle the central symmetry line C of mesh member 23 and are located at positions closer to central symmetry line C of mesh member 23 with respect to both ends of mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction; the formation of wrinkles 5 on both sides of mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction means that wrinkles 5 are formed respectively in the vicinity of both ends of mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction, and that wrinkles 5 are located at positions closer to both ends of mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction with respect to central symmetry line C of mesh member 23.

Further, the length of the pleats 5 in the vehicle width direction is 1/5 or more and 1/4 or less of the length of the mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction (the proportional relationship between the mesh member 23 and the pleats 5 in fig. 4 and 5 is only schematic, and does not represent an actual proportional relationship).

The pleats 5 are configured such that, when the mesh member 23 moves from the deployed position to the housed position as the upper frame 20 moves downward, the pleats 5 fold the mesh member 23 in a direction toward the vehicle interior.

Specifically, from the fully expanded state of the mesh member 23 shown by the chain line in fig. 2, the tension applied to the mesh member 23 gradually disappears as the upper frame 20 moves toward the storage position, and the mesh member 23 gradually becomes the relaxed state shown in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 3, the folding direction of the mesh member 23 is restricted by the presence of the wrinkles 5 and is folded obliquely downward with respect to the mesh member 23 in the tensioned state shown in fig. 2, that is, in the vehicle interior direction in the opposite direction with respect to the direction of the sunroof opening 10 between the seal member 4 and the movable panel 11 which is obliquely upward. Thus, when the mesh member 23 is stored as the upper frame 20 moves downward from the expanded state, the folding direction of the mesh member 23 is regulated by the pleats 5 so that the mesh member 23 is not sandwiched between the sealing member 4 and the movable panel 11 when the mesh member 23 is completely stored.

As shown in fig. 2, when the mesh member 23 is completely deployed, the wrinkle 5 is located at a position that is hidden by the vehicle interior panel 6 and is not visible to the occupant P in the front seat in the vehicle interior. This prevents the presence of the wrinkle 5 from attracting the attention of the occupant P, which would affect the appearance of the sunroof apparatus 1 and the safety of the vehicle during traveling.

While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example was described in which the wrinkles 5 were formed in the center and both sides of the mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the formation position and shape of the wrinkle 5 are not limited to the above-described manner, and the wrinkle 5 may be formed only in the center of the mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction. Further, the wrinkles 5 may be formed only on both sides of the mesh member 23 in the vehicle width direction. The pleats 5 may be formed at any other position of the mesh member 23. The pleats 5 may not be straight-line structures extending in the vehicle width direction as shown in the figure, and for example, the pleats 5 may be corrugated or may be obliquely extending structures having any shapes.

For example, in the above embodiment, an example in which the wrinkles 5 are formed by ironing is described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the formation method of the wrinkle 5 is not limited to the above, and the wrinkle 5 may be formed by, for example, a weaving method of the mesh member 23, and the wrinkle 5 may be formed by, for example, a special weaving method at a local portion.

In short, the structure and formation of the pleats 5 of the present invention may be any structure and formation that allows the mesh member 23 to be folded toward the vehicle interior side when the baffle device 2 is stored by the pleats 5, so that the mesh member 23 is not pinched by the seal member 4 and the movable panel 11.

The present invention has been described above with reference to specific examples. However, the present invention is not limited to this specific example. A design obtained by appropriately modifying the specific example by a person skilled in the art is also included in the scope of the present invention as long as the characteristics of the present invention are provided.
