Description

本発明は、サンルーフ装置のドレン部材取付け構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a drain member mounting structure for a sunroof device.

現在、車両の室内の温度調整、或いはドライブ中の開放感などに供するために、車両の固定ルーフに開口を設け、その開口に開閉可能なパネルを設けたサンルーフ装置が広く用いられている。このようなサンルーフ装置では、サンルーフパネルに付着した水滴が固定ルーフの開口から室内へ落下することを防止するため、この水滴を受け止めて車外へ排出する排水溝が固定ルーフの下部に形成されている。そして排水溝の開放端には、排水溝から車外へ排水を導くドレンチューブを接続するためのドレン部材が設けられている。   2. Description of the Related Art Currently, a sunroof device is widely used in which an opening is provided in a fixed roof of a vehicle and a panel that can be opened and closed is provided in order to provide temperature adjustment in the vehicle interior or a feeling of opening during driving. In such a sunroof device, in order to prevent water droplets adhering to the sunroof panel from falling into the room from the opening of the fixed roof, a drainage groove for receiving the waterdrop and discharging it to the outside of the vehicle is formed in the lower portion of the fixed roof. . A drain member for connecting a drain tube that guides drainage from the drainage groove to the outside of the vehicle is provided at the open end of the drainage groove.

ドレン部材には、排水溝への取付けが容易な係止爪とドレンチューブを接続するドレンノズルとを有する樹脂成形品が多く使われている。また、排水溝とドレン部材の隙間のシールは、以前はペースト状のシール剤を塗付または注入することにより行なわれていたが、近年、新たなシール方法として、取り扱いの容易な半固体状態のブチルゴム等を予め紐状に加工してドレン部材に敷設しておき、排水溝とドレン部材の間に挟持させるシール方法が用いられ始めている。
係止爪とドレンノズルとを有するドレン部材の従来例として、特許文献１に開示されたものが挙げられる。特許文献１では、排水溝の内面に接する面にシール溝が形成されたドレンキャップを用いたドレンキャップの取付け構造が示されている。より詳しくは、排水溝に対してドレンキャップを上下方向成分を含んで接近させ、係合爪（フック）で係合させてドレンキャップの下面を排水溝の内面に接触させた後、前記したシール溝にシール剤を注入するドレンキャップの取付け構造が示されている。
特開２００４−９８８０５号公報（段落００２９〜００３３、図２、図４） As the drain member, a resin molded product having a locking claw that can be easily attached to the drain groove and a drain nozzle for connecting the drain tube is often used. In addition, the sealing of the gap between the drainage groove and the drain member was previously performed by applying or injecting a paste-like sealant. However, as a new sealing method, a semi-solid state that is easy to handle has recently been used. A sealing method in which butyl rubber or the like is processed in advance into a string shape and laid on a drain member and is sandwiched between a drain groove and the drain member has begun to be used.
As a conventional example of a drain member having a locking claw and a drain nozzle, one disclosed in Patent Document 1 can be cited. In Patent Document 1, a drain cap mounting structure using a drain cap in which a seal groove is formed on a surface in contact with an inner surface of a drain groove is shown. More specifically, the drain cap is brought close to the drain groove including the vertical component, and is engaged with an engaging claw (hook) so that the lower surface of the drain cap is in contact with the inner surface of the drain groove. A drain cap mounting structure for injecting a sealant into the groove is shown.
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2004-98805 (paragraphs 0029 to 0033, FIGS. 2 and 4)

しかし、特許文献1のように、ドレン部材を排水溝の上方から接近させて係合させて取り付ける場合、排水溝の排水路にドレン部材の一部が載置される構造となるため、ドレン部材の端部に水が滞留するという不具合が生じ得る。一方、ドレン部材を排水溝の下方から接近させて取り付ける構造にすると、サンルーフ装置を車両に取り付ける工程でドレン部材が比較的小さな衝撃でも容易に脱落することがあった。   However, as in Patent Document 1, when the drain member is attached by being approached from above the drain groove, the drain member has a structure in which a part of the drain member is placed in the drain channel of the drain groove. There may be a problem that water stays at the end of the. On the other hand, when the drain member is attached so as to be approached from below the drainage groove, the drain member may easily fall off even with a relatively small impact in the process of attaching the sunroof device to the vehicle.

上記の問題は、ドレン部材を排水溝と同一平面内で摺動させて排水溝に係合させることで解決できる。しかしこの場合、前述した取り扱いの容易な半固体状態のシール剤で排水溝とドレン部材の隙間をシールしようとすると、シール剤が摺動方向に引きずられて位置ズレが生じたり、シール剤の厚みが不均一になったりするため、シール性能にバラツキが生じる。   The above problem can be solved by sliding the drain member in the same plane as the drainage groove and engaging the drainage groove. However, in this case, if the semi-solid sealing agent that is easy to handle is used to seal the gap between the drain groove and the drain member, the sealing agent may be dragged in the sliding direction, resulting in misalignment or the thickness of the sealing agent. Becomes uneven, resulting in variations in sealing performance.

本発明は、このような課題を解決することを目的とし、ドレン部材を排水溝と同一平面内で摺動させて排水溝に容易に取付けることができ、また、シール剤のシール性能にバラツキが生じないサンルーフ装置のドレン部材取付け構造を提供することを目的とする。   An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and the drain member can be easily attached to the drainage groove by sliding in the same plane as the drainage groove, and there is a variation in the sealing performance of the sealant. An object of the present invention is to provide a drain member mounting structure for a sunroof device that does not occur.

本発明のサンルーフ装置のドレン部材取付け構造は、サンルーフパネルを車両前後方向にガイドするガイド溝と、ガイド溝の外側に形成される排水溝と、排水溝の外側端から外向きに形成される外側フランジとを有するサイドフレームにおいて前記排水溝に取付けられて車外へ排水を導くドレン部材の取付け構造であって、ドレン部材はサイドフレームと係合する係合部と、排水溝の裏面に対向する面に設けられ、かつ、排水溝を横断する方向に延在してシール剤が敷設されるシール溝とを備え、ドレン部材をシール剤の延在方向に摺動させてサイドフレームに係合させることを特徴とする構成とした。   The drain roof mounting structure of the sunroof device according to the present invention includes a guide groove for guiding the sunroof panel in the vehicle front-rear direction, a drainage groove formed outside the guide groove, and an outer side formed outward from the outer end of the drainage groove. A drain member mounting structure that is attached to the drainage groove and guides drainage to the outside of the vehicle in a side frame having a flange, the drain member engaging with the side frame, and a surface facing the back surface of the drainage groove And a seal groove extending in a direction crossing the drainage groove and provided with a sealant, and sliding the drain member in the extension direction of the sealant to engage the side frame. The feature is as follows.

本発明のドレン部材取付け構造は、ドレン部材がサイドフレームに係合する係合部を備えているので、サイドフレームを構成するガイド溝、排水溝、および外側フランジのいずれかにドレン部材を係合させることにより、ドレン部材を排水溝に対して容易に取り付けることができる。
また、本発明ではドレン部材を排水溝に対して取り付けるとき、シール剤を排水溝の裏面に接触させながらシール剤の延在方向に摺動させることになる。このとき、ドレン部材をシール剤の延在方向に摺動させるので、シール剤が摺動方向に引きずられてもシール剤の位置がずれることはなく、またシール剤の厚みのバラツキを最小限に抑えられる結果、シール剤のシール性能のバラツキを防止することができる。さらに、ドレン部材を排水溝と同一平面内で摺動させて取付けることができる。 Since the drain member mounting structure of the present invention includes an engaging portion that engages the side frame with the drain member, the drain member is engaged with any of the guide groove, the drainage groove, and the outer flange constituting the side frame. By doing so, the drain member can be easily attached to the drain groove.
In the present invention, when the drain member is attached to the drainage groove, the sealant is slid in the extending direction of the sealant while being in contact with the back surface of the drainage groove. At this time, since the drain member is slid in the extending direction of the sealing agent, the position of the sealing agent is not shifted even if the sealing agent is dragged in the sliding direction, and the variation in the thickness of the sealing agent is minimized. As a result, it is possible to prevent variations in the sealing performance of the sealing agent. Furthermore, the drain member can be slid and mounted in the same plane as the drainage groove.

このようなサンルーフ装置のドレン部材取付け構造によれば、ドレン部材を排水溝と同一平面内で摺動させて排水溝に容易に取付けることができ、また、シール剤のシール性能にバラツキが生じないサンルーフ装置のドレン部材取付け構造を提供することができる。   According to the drain member mounting structure of such a sunroof device, the drain member can be easily mounted in the drainage groove by sliding in the same plane as the drainage groove, and there is no variation in the sealing performance of the sealant. A drain member mounting structure for a sunroof device can be provided.

The engagement hole 7 is formed on the bottom surface of the guide groove 4 at a position and size where the substantially vertical portion of the engagement claw 14 is engaged.

本実施形態では、第２の接触面１５はガイド溝４の上面に沿ってシール剤２５の延在方向に摺動させ易いよう、先端に傾斜部を有する形状となっている。
なお、第２の接触面１５とガイド溝４の上面とが係合するよう、係合爪と係合孔を設けることもできる。 In the present embodiment, the second contact surface 15 has a shape having an inclined portion at the tip so that the second contact surface 15 can easily slide along the upper surface of the guide groove 4 in the extending direction of the sealant 25.
In addition, an engagement claw and an engagement hole can also be provided so that the 2nd contact surface 15 and the upper surface of the guide groove 4 may engage.

さらに、図２において角型漏斗状の集水部１１の外側フランジ６に近い側の上部から延出して、外側フランジ６の下面に面接触する第３の接触面１７と、第３の接触面１７から上方に延出する支柱１９の先端からガイド溝４の方向に延出して外側フランジ６の上面に面接触する第４の接触面１８ａ，１８ｂとが形成されている。
なお、第３の接触面１７および第４の接触面１８ａ，１８ｂと支柱１９が前記した挟持部１６を構成するものであり、シール剤２５の延在方向に摺動可能に設けられる。 Further, in FIG. 2, a third contact surface 17 that extends from an upper portion of the square funnel-shaped water collecting portion 11 near the outer flange 6 and that makes surface contact with the lower surface of the outer flange 6, and a third contact surface Fourth contact surfaces 18 a and 18 b are formed which extend in the direction of the guide groove 4 from the tip of the support column 19 extending upward from 17 and make surface contact with the upper surface of the outer flange 6.
The third contact surface 17 and the fourth contact surfaces 18a and 18b and the support column 19 constitute the above-described sandwiching portion 16, and are provided to be slidable in the extending direction of the sealant 25.

シール溝２０は、ドレン部材１０の第３の接触面１７から接続面１３ａを経由して、底部接触面１３ｂを車両の前後方向に直交する方向で横断し、側部接触面１３ｃを通過する略半円形の溝として形成されている。そして、このシール溝２０にシール剤２５が敷設される。ここで、シール剤２５は排水溝５の裏面とドレン部材１０との隙間をシールして、止水するためのものであり、ブチルゴム等公知の物を用いることができる。   The seal groove 20 crosses the bottom contact surface 13b from the third contact surface 17 of the drain member 10 via the connection surface 13a in a direction perpendicular to the vehicle front-rear direction and passes through the side contact surface 13c. It is formed as a semicircular groove. A sealing agent 25 is laid in the sealing groove 20. Here, the sealing agent 25 is for sealing the gap between the back surface of the drain groove 5 and the drain member 10 to stop water, and a known material such as butyl rubber can be used.

次に、本実施形態に係るドレン部材１０を排水溝５に取付ける手順について図４を参照して説明する。なお、図４は取り付けの初期段階を表している。
まず、シール溝２０に、紐状のシール剤２５の両端がシール溝２０の両端２１ａ、２１ｂから若干突出するように敷設する。次いで、第４の接触面１８ａ、１８ｂが切欠き８ａ、８ｂを通過するように、ドレン部材１０を若干傾けた状態で左サイドフレーム３の下方から持ち上げて行く。第４の接触面１８ａ、１８ｂが切欠き８ａ、８ｂを通過したら、ドレン部材１０を水平に保ちつつ、シール剤２５を排水溝５の裏面に接触させながらシール剤２５の延在方向、図４上ではＰ方向へ摺動させて、挟持部１６に外側フランジ６の上面および下面を挟持させると共に、係合爪１４を係合孔７に係合させる。 Next, a procedure for attaching the drain member 10 according to the present embodiment to the drain groove 5 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 shows the initial stage of attachment.
First, the seal groove 20 is laid so that both ends of the string-like sealant 25 protrude slightly from both ends 21 a and 21 b of the seal groove 20. Next, the drain member 10 is slightly lifted from below the left side frame 3 so that the fourth contact surfaces 18a and 18b pass through the notches 8a and 8b. When the fourth contact surfaces 18a and 18b pass through the notches 8a and 8b, the extending direction of the sealant 25 while keeping the drain member 10 horizontal and contacting the sealant 25 with the back surface of the drainage groove 5, FIG. The upper part and the lower face of the outer flange 6 are held by the holding part 16 by sliding in the P direction, and the engaging claw 14 is engaged with the engaging hole 7.

これにより、ドレン部材１０の底部接触面１３ｂと排水溝５の隙間がシール剤２５でシールされ、また挟持部１６と係合爪１４によりドレン部材１０が左サイドフレーム３に対して係止される。
また、ドレン部材１０をシール剤２５の延在方向へ摺動させて行き、接続面１３ａおよび側部接触面１３ｃに敷設されたシール剤２５が排水溝５の裏面に当接したとき、接続面１３ａおよび側部接触面１３ｃと排水溝５の裏面との隙間がシールされる。 As a result, the gap between the bottom contact surface 13 b of the drain member 10 and the drainage groove 5 is sealed with the sealing agent 25, and the drain member 10 is locked to the left side frame 3 by the sandwiching portion 16 and the engaging claw 14. .
Further, when the drain member 10 is slid in the extending direction of the sealing agent 25 and the sealing agent 25 laid on the connecting surface 13a and the side contact surface 13c contacts the back surface of the drainage groove 5, the connecting surface 13a and the clearance between the side contact surface 13c and the back surface of the drainage groove 5 are sealed.

このようにドレン部材１０をシール剤２５の延在方向と同一方向に摺動させて排水溝５に対して取付けるので、シール剤２５が排水溝５の裏面に接触して変形する場合でもシール剤２５の延在方向と異なる方向に変形することは無いため、最終的なシール剤２５の位置がずれることはなく、またシール剤２５の厚みのバラツキも最小限に抑えられる結果、最大の止水効果が得られる。
また、接続面１３ａおよび側部接触面１３ｃに敷設されたシール剤２５は、排水溝５の裏面に当接するまでは他の部材に接触して変形することは無いため、接続面１３ａおよび側部接触面１３ｃと排水溝５の裏面との隙間を確実にシールすることができる。
また、ドレン部材１０を排水溝５の裏面に取付ける構造のため、排水溝５の排水路にドレン部材１０の一部が載置されることは無く、ドレン部材１０の端部に水が滞留することは無い。 Thus, since the drain member 10 is slid in the same direction as the extending direction of the sealing agent 25 and attached to the drainage groove 5, the sealing agent 25 even when the sealing agent 25 comes into contact with the back surface of the drainage groove 5 and is deformed. Since the sealant 25 is not deformed in a direction different from the extending direction of the sealant 25, the position of the final sealant 25 is not shifted, and the variation in the thickness of the sealant 25 is minimized. An effect is obtained.
Further, since the sealant 25 laid on the connection surface 13a and the side contact surface 13c does not contact and deform other members until it contacts the back surface of the drainage groove 5, the connection surface 13a and the side portion The gap between the contact surface 13c and the back surface of the drainage groove 5 can be reliably sealed.
Further, since the drain member 10 is attached to the back surface of the drain groove 5, a part of the drain member 10 is not placed in the drain channel of the drain groove 5, and water stays at the end of the drain member 10. There is nothing.

以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明は前記実施形態には限定されない。例えば、シール剤２５の延在方向を車両の前後方向に直交する方向として説明したが、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない限り、シール剤２５の延在方向を排水溝５の裏面を斜めに横断する方向とすることもできる。
また、ドレン部材１０がサイドフレーム３と係合する係合部が係合爪１４および挟持部１６で構成される場合を例に説明したが、本発明の係合部はこの構成に限定されない。 As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. For example, although the extending direction of the sealing agent 25 has been described as a direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the extending direction of the sealing agent 25 crosses the back surface of the drain groove 5 obliquely unless departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can also be a direction.
Moreover, although the case where the engaging part with which the drain member 10 engages with the side frame 3 was comprised by the engaging claw 14 and the clamping part 16 was demonstrated to the example, the engaging part of this invention is not limited to this structure.
