Description

  The present invention relates to a rainproof device for an automobile that causes an umbrella to appear and disappear above an open door of a passenger car.

  Conventionally, an umbrella is opened above the open door of a passenger car such as a taxi to prevent wetness due to rain at the passenger entrance.

  However, there is a problem that the umbrella opens on the head of the passenger regardless of the rain and the position of the umbrella is relatively low (for example, Patent Document 1).

  Moreover, although the thing using standing the pattern of a circular folding umbrella was developed, there existed a problem that the level of the opened umbrella was too high (for example, patent document 2).

JP-A-2-216317 JP 2004-34899 A

  An object of the present invention is to advance an umbrella-like object above the open door of a passenger car only during rain and to adjust the advancement level appropriately.

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a machine frame is first provided on a ceiling surface of an automobile, and a lower end portion of a substantially parallel link is pivotally supported on the machine frame. A rainproof device for an automobile, which is pivotally supported by a frame and provided with a peristaltic adjustment mechanism for the parallel link on the machine frame;
Secondly, the rainproof device for automobiles according to the first invention, wherein the rainproof coating is formed so as to be capable of peristaltic adjustment by the parallel link above the side door opening entrance from the ceiling surface,
Third, a downwardly moving rod is provided on a shaft rod installed on one pivot of the parallel link, the lower end of the rod is connected to a side surface of the screw, and the screw is pivoted on the machine frame. A rainproof device for an automobile according to the first or second invention, comprising a peristaltic adjustment mechanism that is slidably engaged with a supported left and right screw and the screw is rotated forward and backward by a drive motor;
Consists of.

Therefore, by operating the switch at the driver's seat during rain, the peristaltic adjustment mechanism provided on the ceiling frame is operated,
By tilting the parallel link toward the side door at an appropriate angle, the rainproof coating on the ceiling surface can be moved forward to an appropriate level above the opened side door and the entrance.

  In that state, it gets on from the entrance which opened the side door, and it can prevent the wet loss of clothes etc. by rain at the time of boarding.

  Thereafter, the door is closed, the switch is operated, and the peristaltic adjustment mechanism is reversely operated to return the advanced rainproof coating to the original ceiling surface.

  In this state, the parallel link, the swing adjustment mechanism, and the machine frame are accommodated in the rainproof coating.

  The mechanism swings the parallel link forward and backward in the left-right direction by sliding the screw in the left-right direction by forward / reverse rotation of the screw by a drive motor.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, when it rains, a rainproof coating is advanced from the ceiling side to an appropriate upper level position between the open side door and the side entrance of the passenger car,
Not only can it prevent the head and clothes of people riding from the side entrance of passenger cars from getting wet,
There is no risk of the side entrance becoming narrow due to the rainproof coating,
In addition, there is an effect that the rainproof coating can be made to appear and disappear above the entrance from the ceiling surface.

  A top-opened box-shaped machine frame 3 is fixedly provided on the ceiling surface 2 of a taxi or private car 1.

  A longitudinal shaft 9 is pivotally supported between the bearings 9 'and 9' on the left side of the front and rear side plates 3 'and 3' of the machine frame 3, and the pin bearing 9 is disposed on the left side of the bearings 9 'and 9'. "9" is provided (FIGS. 2 and 3).

The front and rear portions of the shaft rod 9 and the front and rear pin bearings 9 ″ and 9 ″ are pivotally supported at the lower end portions 4 ′ and 4 ′ of the parallel rods 4 and 4, respectively, and are installed on the pivot portion of the parallel rod 4 on the right side. A downward movement rod 10 is provided at the center of the shaft rod 9
A horizontal screw 13 that can be rotated forward and backward is disposed at the center of the machine casing 3, and both left and right ends thereof are pivotally supported by bearing plates 13 'and 13', and are driven and controlled by one pivotal support end 13 ". A vehicle 15 is provided, and an endless cord 15 ″ is hung between the drive train 15 ′ provided on the deceleration drive shaft 14 ′ of the forward / reverse drive reduction motor 14 provided in the machine frame 3 and the driven train 15. .

  A ball bearing screw 11 (hereinafter referred to as a ball nut) is screwed into the left and right screw 13, and the side surface of the ball nut 11 and the downward operation rod 10 are connected by two link linkages 12 and 12 ′. The ball 12 on the side of the ball nut 11 is guided in the horizontal direction by a horizontal guide 12 ″.

  By rotating the motor 14 forward and backward in this state, the ball nut 11 can be slid left and right along the screw 13 and the position in the left-right direction can be adjusted.

  When the ball nut 11 slides in the left-right direction, the parallel links 4 and 4 swing, and the rainproof coating 5 pivotally supported by the inner frame 5 ′ on the upper ends of the links 4 and 4 is positioned at the phantom line position in FIG. From the position (FIGS. 2 and 3) that touches the lower edge 5 ″ and covers the machine frame 3 to the solid line position in FIG. 4, the solid line position in FIG. 1 or the virtual line position, as shown in FIG. Rain from above between 8 and 8 can be avoided.

  Further, the machine moves backward from the advanced position onto the original ceiling surface 2 and covers the machine casing 3 and the swing adjusting mechanism 6 in the machine casing 3.

  The limit operation of the electric motor 14 can be operated and adjusted from the driver's seat.

  When the rainproof coating 5 advances to the open door 7 side when it rains, the screw 13, ball nut 11, electric motor 14, etc. are wetted. The linkage 12 is advanced into the machine frame 3 from a long hole 17 (FIG. 2B) drilled in the left end plate 16 ′.

  The rainproof coating 5 is a spherical or substantially rectangular dome shape, umbrella shape or downward box shape, and a rubber or synthetic resin flexible outer peripheral plate can be attached to the outer peripheral lower edge 5 ″.

  Further, by forming the left side plate 3 ″ of the machine frame 3 low, the tilt angle of the parallel links 4, 4 to the left is adjusted to be large, and the advancement of the cover 5 to the left is increased. be able to.

  Instead of the linkages 12 and 12 ', the screw 13, the ball nut 11 and the electric motor 14, a horizontal sliding guide meshed with a drive pinion (small gear) and a lateral sliding worm meshed with a worm gear are guided horizontally. And connect the tip of them or the tip of an electric cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, etc. (not shown) to the lower end of the downward moving rod 10 and connect the base end of the cylinder to the machine frame 3 side. And a sliding adjustment mechanism 6 that operates the parallel links 4 and 4 by operating an electric or hydraulic motor from the driver's seat. be able to.

  By adjusting the sliding position of the ball nut 11 in the left-right direction by operating a switch or the like from the driver's seat, the tilt angle of the parallel links 4 and 4 is adjusted, and the degree of advancement and height of the rainproof coating 5 to the left is adjusted. Can be adjusted.

  In addition, what is shown by 18 in a figure is a rainwater drainage hole.

It is a rear view which shows the rainproof apparatus of the motor vehicle of this invention. (A) is a longitudinal sectional view of a rainproof coating and peristaltic adjustment mechanism, and (B) is a left side view taken along line (A) AA. FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional plan view taken along line BB. It is a rocking state vertical side view of the said parallel link.
