Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability of detection of caught material and durability of a pressure- sensitive sensor, and make it easier to mount and detach the pressure-sensitive sensor by forming the pressure detecting portion of an elastic material so that the outer pressure can be transmitted to the pressure-sensitive sensor and the pressure-sensitive sensor can be inserted and removed from outside in the radial direction at fixing portions in moving farther or nearer from where they are at both ends. SOLUTION: A sensor-mounting device 1A has a storage detection portion 3 which, having a substantially C-shaped section, houses a pressure-sensitive sensor 2 and can be elastically deformed. The sensor-mounting device 1A also has fixing portions 4A, 4B integrally formed with the storage detection portion 3 at both ends thereof. The storage detection portion 3 is formed of foam rubber and the fixing portions 4A, 4B at both ends are formed with rubber harder than one for the storage detection portion 3. By moving the fixing portions 4A, 4B nearer or farther from where they are, the storage detection portion 3 is opened or closed. When it is opened, the pressure-sensitive sensor 2 is enabled to be inserted and removed from outside in the radial direction. When closed, the storage detection portion 3 closely contacts with an outer face of the pressure-sensitive sensor 2, so that the storage detection portion 3 can transmit external power applied thereon to the pressure-sensitive sensor 2. With this configuration, reliability and durability in detecting a caught material can be improved and mounting and dismounting the pressure-sensitive sensor can be easily performed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sensor mounting device and a pressure-sensitive sensor device for detecting pinch, which can be mainly used for a sunroof of a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a sunroof of an automobile, an opening of a fixed roof can be opened and closed by a movable panel, and when the movable panel is closed, a hand, a finger or other objects are interposed between the movable roof and the fixed roof. A pinching detection pressure sensor device is provided to detect the pinching and stop the closing operation of the movable panel by detecting the pinching. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 10-331518 discloses an example of this kind of pinch detection pressure-sensitive sensor device. A wedge detection device preferably used for a closure element, wherein apart from the actual sealing function, said sealing element comprises an element with the function of covering, protecting and activating the switch element; The switch element is formed in the polyurethane foam cladding of the closure element, and the sealing element has two power transmission areas arranged to fit over each switch element.

[0003] In this first prior art, the base region activates the switch element by deformation of the sealing element at the time of pinching, but the base region and the switch element are injection molded into the sealing element. Must-have. That is, a plurality of constituent members constituting the pressure-sensitive sensor must be inserted and arranged inside the weather strip. Such forming is very difficult, and involves various problems such as a narrow external force reaction direction region (elastic deformation region) in which pinching can be sensed and low sensing accuracy.

To overcome some of these problems,
Although it is for power windows, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-209651
Is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. HEI 9-203 (1995). This second prior art is:
"A window body that moves back and forth within the window opening formed by the window frame,
A power source provided at a periphery of the window frame on the indoor side and configured to sense external force, and an advancing / retreating stop means for stopping the advancing / retreating of the window body when the external force sensed by the sensing means exceeds a predetermined value. In the fenestration opening and closing device, the sensing means has an elastically deformable tube, and two conductive parts extending in the longitudinal direction of the tube with an insulating part interposed in the tube, and the sensing means has an external force. The tube is deformed to sense an external force when the two conductive portions come into contact with each other, and a sensing center, which is a center direction of an external force direction range in which the two conductive portions can come into contact, is moved forward and backward when the window body advances and retreats. And a portion inclined at a predetermined angle to the surface is provided. "

[0005]

In the second prior art, a tube and two conductive portions are integrally formed by extrusion molding to form a pressure-sensitive tube sensor, and the pressure-sensitive tube sensor is formed in a weather strip. Since the sensor is inserted and installed in the sensor, the external force reaction direction area is wide and the sensing accuracy can be increased, but it is difficult to insert the pressure-sensitive tube sensor, especially at the corners, and the sunroof weather strip is protected from wind and rain. When exposed to the sunroof and always open and closed, stress is always exerted.When used in such a sunroof, the sensor is often damaged, and it is difficult to replace it if it is damaged. Cost performance is getting worse.

It can also be used to detect pinching of train doors. In addition, as a mode of attaching the sensor mounting device 1, including those shown in the above-described embodiment,
One of the two end mounting portions 4A, 4B is connected to the first and second mounting members 8
A, 8B, while adhering the other to the first and second mounting members 8A, 8B while holding the other, first and second mounting members 8A, 8B.
B, at least one of the first and second attachment members 8A and 8B, or only the one of the first and second attachment members 8A and 8B. And also, both end mounting parts 4A, 4
B are both locked by at least one of the first and second mounting members 8A and 8B while being held by the first and second mounting members 8A and 8B, or are only held by the first and second mounting members 8A and 8B? Alternatively, it may be possible to simply engage with at least one of the first and second attachment members 8A and 8B. Further, a mounting structure may be employed in which both end mounting portions 4A and 4B are bonded to each other while being bonded to at least one of the first and second mounting members 8A and 8B.
