Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an object moving device.
  • a window regulator which lifts a window glass up and down, is used to open and close a window of a vehicle (for example, see Patent Literature (hereinafter, referred to as "PTL”) 1).
  • the window regulator indicated in PTL 1 includes a pair of carrier plates, a pair of guide rails, a cable, a direction-changing member, and a driving source.
  • a driving force of the driving source causes the cable to be wound and unwound, thereby moving the pair of carrier plates via the cable, and lifting a window fixed to the carrier plates up and down.
  • the driving source is fixed to the guide rails, and thus it is difficult to perform position adjustment of the guide rails and the driving source when the window regulator described above is attached to a vehicle body.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an object moving device, whereby adjustment of the attachment position of the object moving device is made easy.
  • An object moving device includes: at least one movement member; at least one guide member; a cable; a driving section; and a holding structure.
  • the movement member is attached to an object to be moved (hereinafter, referred to as "moving object").
  • the guide member guides the movement member.
  • the cable is connected to the movement member.
  • the driving section winds and unwinds the cable connected to the driving section.
  • the holding structure holds the driving section to the guide member.
  • the holding structure holds the driving section in a state in which relative movement of the driving section relative to the guide member is allowed within a predetermined range along a thickness direction of the guide member.
  • the driving section is temporarily fixed to the guide member so as to be relatively movable relative to the guide member within the predetermined range along the thickness direction of the guide member.
  • the guide member can be moved in the thickness direction thereof in a state in which the driving section is fixed to the vehicle body. Accordingly, the position of the window, which is attached to the movement member, can be adjusted to a position which sufficiently ensures that the window is sealed with a weather strip.
  • the holding structure may regulate movement of the driving section in a width direction of the guide member in a state in which relative movement of the driving section relative to the guide member is allowed within a predetermined range in a direction along the guide member.
  • a relative position of the driving section relative to the guide member in the width direction of the guide member is substantially fixed, whereas a relative position of the driving section relative to the guide member in the direction along the guide member can be adjusted within the predetermined range. Accordingly, position adjustment can be made easier.
  • two of the movement members may be provided apart from each other.
  • Two of the guide members may be provided apart from each other such that relative positions of the two guide members relative to each other are changeable.
  • the driving section may be held to one of the two guide members by the holding structure.
  • the object moving device can be applied as a window regulator for a sashless vehicle.
  • a holding member to which the drive section is attached may be fixed to the guide member.
  • the holding member may include a holding member-side holding element that forms one part of the holding structure.
  • the driving section may include a driving section-side holding element that forms another part of the holding structure.
  • One of the holding member-side holding element and the driving section-side holding element may be provided with a through-hole.
  • Another of the holding member-side holding element and the driving section-side holding element may be provided with at least one insertion part that is inserted into the through-hole.
  • the insertion part may include a locking part and an intermediate part, where the locking part is provided in a leading end part of the insertion part and is insertable into the through-hole, and the intermediate part is provided on a rear end side of the insertion part than the leading end part of the insertion part.
  • the holding member-side holding element may be restrained from being separated from the driving section-side holding element by engagement of the locking part with an edge part of the through-hole.
  • the driving section may be temporarily held in a state in which relative movement of the driving section relative to the holding member is allowed by sliding of the intermediate part with the through-hole.
  • the driving section can be temporarily fixed to the guide member only by inserting the locking part into the through-hole, and it is therefore possible to hold the driving section to the guide member easily. Further, since the relative movement of the driving section relative to the holding member is allowed by the sliding of the intermediate part with the through-hole, position adjustment of the driving section and the guide member can be made easy.
  • a plurality of the insertion parts may be provided, and relative movement of the driving section relative to the guide member may be restrained by a difference between a direction in which one of the plurality of insertion parts slides with the edge part of the through-hole and a direction in which another one of the plurality of insertion parts slides with the edge part of the through-hole.

Further, since the relative movement of driving section 60 or 60' relative to support member 52b or 52d' (an example of the holding member) is allowed by the sliding of intermediate part 92 with through-hole 81 or 81', position adjustment of driving section 60 or 60' and guide member 30 can be made easy.
  • the object moving device of the present invention exhibits an effect of making adjustment of the attachment position of the object moving device easy, and is useful as, for example, a window regulator or the like.
