A first embodiment of the present utility model provides a connection device for a sliding door for sliding connection between the sliding door of a vehicle and a side wall of the vehicle body, where the sliding door is generally used on a vehicle requiring side sliding opening of the door, for example, on a utility vehicle, where the utility vehicle MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicles) is evolved from a traveling car, a vehicle integrating a wide passenger space of the traveling car, comfort of the car and functions of a van, and generally has a sliding door structure. The present embodiment is applicable to a sliding door structure without a window frame or with similar design, and the sliding door cannot realize sliding connection between the upper part of the sliding door and the side wall of the vehicle body due to the fact that the window frame structure is not arranged on the window.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the sliding door 10 located at the side of the vehicle body can reciprocally slide with respect to the side wall 20 of the vehicle body to effect opening or closing of the sliding door 10. In order to realize the relative sliding of the sliding door 10, the connecting device according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes the guide rail 1 and the hinge 2, where the guide rail 1 is disposed at a middle position of the sheet metal part of the sliding door 10 in the vertical direction, so that it is not necessary to realize the connection between the upper part of the sliding door 10 and the upper edge beam of the side wall 20, thereby being convenient for being applied to the sliding door structure such as the windowless frame structure. Wherein the guide rail 1 is mounted on the sliding door 10, for example by means of fasteners.

Further, the guide rail 1 is arranged to extend along the width direction of the sliding door 10, where the length of the guide rail 1 may be set according to the width of the sliding door 10, so that the guide rail 1 can be hidden inside the sliding door 10, thereby realizing the movement of the sliding door 10.

Further, the hinge member enables connection between the sliding door 10 and the edge of the side wall 20, wherein the hinge member 2 here takes the shape of a rod, and wherein the length of the hinge member 2 is related to the position where the sliding door 10 moves. The first end 2a of the hinge 2 is movable in the guide rail 1, and the second end 2b of the hinge 2 is hinged to the edge of the side wall 20, so that the sliding door 10 can be moved in the guide rail 1 by the hinge 2, thereby achieving a reciprocating movement of the sliding door 10 with respect to the side wall 20. Wherein, here, the hinge member 2 is adopted between the sliding door 10 and the side wall 20, and the hinge member 2 and the side wall 20 are connected in a hinged manner, so that tolerance generated along the width direction of the sliding door 10 when the sliding door 10 moves can be absorbed, and the sliding door 10 is matched with the side wall 20 more tightly in use.

Further, the sliding door 10 is provided with a window 10a, the window 10a is arranged on a main body 10b of the sliding door 10, and the window 10a can be, for example, a borderless window without a windowframe structure, so that the guide rail 1 is preferably arranged on the main body 10b and is not more than the lower edge position of the window 10a on the sliding door 10, so that the arrangement position of the guide rail 1 does not influence the normal use of the window 10a by a user, and the guide rail 1 can be hidden below the window 10a to improve the overall aesthetic degree of the sliding door 10.

In order to realize that the sliding door 10 can move relative to the side wall 20, the first end 2a of the hinge 2 moves in the guide rail 1, further, the first end 2a of the hinge 2 is provided with a roller 3, the roller 3 can roll in the guide rail 1, and the friction force of relative movement can be reduced by adopting a rolling mode, so that the sliding door 10 can move more conveniently and does not generate noise. It is of course also possible here to use a construction of the slide so that it slides in the guide rail 1.

In order to facilitate the rolling wheels 3 to roll stably in the guide rail and not to affect the overall aesthetic appearance of the vehicle, the guide rail 1 is improved in structure so that the rolling wheels 3 can be hidden in the guide rail 1, in particular, the guide rail 1 is provided with a sliding groove 11, the sliding groove 11 adopts an extruded aluminum profile structure, the opening direction of the sliding groove 11 is vertically downward, the rolling wheels 3 are vertically upwards embedded in the sliding groove 11, thus the aesthetic appearance can be improved on the basis of not affecting the function by hiding the rolling wheels 3,

further, in order to facilitate the insertion of the roller 3 into the chute 11, the first end 2a of the hinge 2 is provided with a fixing portion 21, the fixing portion 21 is disposed perpendicular to the rod-shaped body of the hinge 2, and the roller 3 is disposed on the fixing portion 21, so that the roller 3 can be inserted upward into the chute 11.

Further, in order to allow the roller 3 to roll in the chute 11 without falling, as shown in fig. 3, the cross-sectional shape of the chute 11 includes two V-shaped cross-sections, each of which matches with the corresponding end surface of the roller 3, for example, the end surface of the roller 3 contacting with the chute 11 may be configured according to the V-shaped cross-section, so that the friction force of the roller 3 rolling in the chute 11 can be reduced by the roller 3 matching with the V-shaped cross-section, while the rolling path 3 can be prevented from falling from the chute 11.

Further, considering that the second end 2b of the hinge member 2 is hinged to the edge of the side wall 20, for this purpose, the edge of the side wall 20 is provided with a connecting member 22, and the connecting member 22 may be mounted with the edge of the side wall 20 through the cooperation of a through hole and a fastener, for example, and the second end 2b of the hinge member 2 is hinged to the connecting member 22, so that the hinge member 2 is movably connected to the connecting member 22, thereby maintaining a stable connection with the side wall 20 when the sliding door 10 moves to any position.

Further, as shown in fig. 4, the first end of the connecting piece 22 is connected with the edge of the side wall 20, the second end of the connecting piece 22 is provided with a protruding portion 221, the second end 2b of the hinge 2 is provided with a concave portion 23, the protruding portion 221 and the concave portion 22 are provided with connecting holes, and the concave portion 23 is sleeved on the outer side of the protruding portion 221 and penetrates through the connecting holes through a rotating shaft 24 so as to realize the hinge connection between the second end of the hinge 2 and the second end of the connecting piece 22. Here, elastic members may be disposed on the rotation shaft, and the elastic members respectively abut against the hinge member 2 and the connection member 22, so that the hinge between the hinge member 2 and the connection member 22 can be better controlled.

Preferably, the second end of the link 22 is provided to protrude from the end surface of the edge of the side wall 20, which enables a larger range of rotation of the hinge 2, thereby facilitating the range of movement of the sliding door 10.

Further, in order to facilitate the stable connection of the hinge 2 to the sliding door 10 and the side wall 20, the connection member 22 on the side wall 20 and the guide rail 1 provided on the sliding door 10 may be located in the same horizontal plane, so that the hinge 2 can be rotated in the same horizontal plane during the movement of the sliding door 10 without large torsion or deflection, thereby ensuring the stability of connection and improving the service life of the hinge 2.

The connecting device of the above embodiment is used for retaining other connecting devices positioned in the middle and/or lower parts of the side wall at the same time, that is, the connecting device positioned at the upper part is replaced by the connecting device related to the above embodiment, which is equivalent to moving the position of the upper guide rail from the upper edge beam of the side wall to the middle position of the sheet metal part of the sliding door, for example, so that the defect of insufficient head space caused by the protrusion of the guide rail can be overcome by changing the position of the upper guide rail, thereby being suitable for wider sliding door structure requirements, such as sliding door structures without window frames and the like.
