BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. This example is an application example as a mounting structure of a drive device for an automobile slide door.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an automobile equipped with a slide door 1. The slide door 1 is located at an upper position of a vehicle body 2.
It is slidably guided by a total of three guide rails extending in the front-rear direction at each of the intermediate position and the lower position. The slide door 1 opens and closes in the front-rear direction by sliding along the guide rails. Three
Is a guide rail attached to an intermediate position of the vehicle body 2, and the first and second cables 10 and 11 are routed inside thereof. The drive device 4 for the slide door mounted on the vehicle body 2 side slides the slide door 1 via the first and second cables 10 and 11. The mounting structure of the guide rail 3 and the drive device 4 on the vehicle body 2 will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the drive unit 4, and FIG. 3 is a plan view of the drive unit 4. Reference numerals 10a and 11a are one end sides of the first and second cables 10 and 11 connected to the slide door 1. It is a cable end (one end). The reversible motor 6,
A gear box 7 and a drum 20 rotatable about an axis O are provided, and the driving force of the motor 6 causes the drum 20 to rotate in the arrow A1 direction or A2 direction via a gear train in the gear box 7. To be done. Reference numeral 19 is a drum case. An intermediate portion between the first and second cables 10 and 11 is a cable guide 3 provided at a fixed position in the front and rear of the vehicle body 2.
The other end side of the cables 10 and 11 is wound around the outer peripheral surface of the drum 20 in the opposite direction while being guided by the 0 and 40 guide pulleys 31 and 41. Then, when the drum 20 is rotated in the direction of the arrow A1, the second cable 11 is wound and the first cable 10 is paid out, so that the slide door 1 is opened rearward. Conversely, drum 2
When 0 is rotated in the direction of arrow A2, the first cable 1
When 0 is wound and the second cable 11 is paid out, the slide door 1 is closed forward.

In this example, the drum 20 rotates about a substantially horizontal axis O, and the guide pulleys 31,
41 rotates centering on the vertical axis O1, O2. In FIG. 2, for convenience of explanation, the axes O, O1, O
The drive unit 4 and the cable guides 30 and 40 are shown so that 2 is in the same direction.

The base plate 5 includes cables 10, 1
1, tensioners 15 and 16 are provided to apply tension. Outer tubes 17 and 18 are provided at the portions of the cables 10 and 11 between the tensioners 15 and 16 and the cable guides 30 and 40, and the tensioners 15 and 16 include the outer tubes 17 and 18.
Tension is applied to the cables 10 and 11 by urging the ends 17a and 18a of the cable 10 from the P0 position to the P1 position. The tensioners 15 and 16 of this example are the cable 1
Ends 17a and 18a so that tension is not applied to 0 and 11
Is provided at the P0 position, and the lock (not shown) is released by operating the claws 15a and 16a.
The cables 10 and 11 are biased in the direction of the position to apply tension to the cables 10 and 11.

On the upper part of the base plate 5, mounting arms 5A and 5B mounted inside the outer panel (panel) 2A of the vehicle body 2 are provided. Further, hook portions 5C and 5D that are hooked at fixed positions inside the vehicle body such as the outer panel 2A are provided on the side portions of the base plate 5. The drive device 4 is an arm 5 of the base plate 5.
A, 5B and hook portions 5C, 5D are attached to the inside of the outer panel 2A, and the guide rails 3 are attached to the outside of the outer panel 2A.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the guide rail 3
Has a plurality of male screw parts (screw members) 3A penetrating the outer panel 2A from the outer side to the inner side. The guide rail 3 is attached to the outer side of the outer panel 2A. The two male screw portions 3A on the right side in FIG. 4 penetrate the outer panel 2A,
Further, after passing through the mounting arms 5A and 5B of the base plate 5 in the drive device 4, a nut (not shown) is screwed. Therefore, the two male screw parts 3 on the right side in FIG.
A is commonly used as an attachment means for the guide rail 3 and the drive unit 4, and the guide rail 3 and the drive unit 4 are attached at the same time. Then, the guide rail 3 and the base plate 5 of the drive device 4 are attached at the same position with the outer panel 2A interposed therebetween. Therefore, the mounting portion of the drive device 4 on the outer panel 2A and the mounting portion of the guide rail 3 on the outer panel 2A are at the same position. As a result, the guide rail 3 functions as a reinforcing member for the mounting portion of the driving device 4, and the driving device 4 can be firmly mounted without adding a special reinforcing member or applying a bead or the like.

When mounting the drive unit 4, the left and right hook portions 5C and 5D are hooked at fixed positions inside the vehicle body to temporarily support the entire drive unit 4 on the vehicle body side, and then the mounting arms 5A and 5B. 2 on the right side in Fig. 4 in the mounting hole at the tip of
Pass the three male screw parts 3A. In this way, by temporarily supporting the drive device 4 using the left and right hook portions 5C and 5D, the workability of attaching the drive device 4 can be improved.

(Other Embodiments) The mounting means of the guide rail 3 and the drive device 4 is not limited to the combination of the male screw portion 3A and the nut, and is arbitrary, and the point is that the mounting positions are the same. .

[0017]

According to the mounting structure of the sliding door driving device of the present invention as set forth in claim 1, the portion of the panel to which the driving device is attached and the portion of the panel to which the guide rail is attached are set at the same position. As a result, the guide rail can function as a reinforcing member for the mounting portion of the drive device. As a result, the strength of the mounting portion of the sliding door driving device can be improved and the driving device can be firmly mounted without complicating the structure.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a structure for mounting a drive device for a slide door according to the present invention, in which the drive device and the guide rail are attached by the same screw member so that the drive device is attached at the same time as the guide rail. Workability can be improved.
