Description

  The present invention relates to a sun visor control device, and more particularly to a sun visor control device that controls storage of a light shielding member for shielding sunlight incident on an automobile from a side window glass side.

  A sun visor is disposed in the vicinity of the ceiling of the passenger compartment such as a driver's seat and a passenger seat of an automobile in order to protect the eyes of the occupant from light from the sun and ensure a safe field of view while the vehicle is running. In addition, such a sun visor can be considered to block sunlight incident from the front windshield glass side and to block sunlight incident from the side windshield side. The light-shielding member can be rotated around the side window glass, so that the sunlight incident from the front windshield glass side and the sunlight incident from the side window glass side can be exclusively blocked. There is.

  However, in such a sun visor, light can be shielded only from the incidence of sunlight from either one.

Therefore, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, slide type sun visors (light shielding members) that can be stored in the roof trim are provided on the front windshield glass side and the side window glass side, respectively, and the passenger slides the light shielding member manually. It has been proposed to move to a light blocking position and a storage position to block sunlight. Accordingly, it is possible to shield the sunlight from the front side and the sunlight from the side by the respective light shielding members.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-278463

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, since the occupant manually operates the sliding to the side window glass side and the storing in the roof trim, when the light shielding member is located at the light shielding position when getting on and off, the door opening Since the light-shielding member protrudes from the part and hinders getting on and off, it is necessary to move the sun visor to the storage position.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above facts, and an object thereof is to improve the boarding / alighting property by controlling the movement of the light shielding member.

  In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 moves a light shielding member provided at a ceiling portion of a vehicle interior so as to be movable to a light shielding position and a storage position for shielding sunlight incident from the side window glass side. And a control means for controlling the moving means so as to store the light shielding member in the storage position when it is determined that the occupant gets off by the determining means for determining whether the occupant gets on or off. It is a feature.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, in the moving means, the light shielding member provided on the ceiling of the vehicle interior is moved to the light shielding position and the storage position for shielding sunlight incident from the side window glass side.

  The control means controls the moving means so as to store the light shielding member in the storage position when the determination means determines that the passenger is getting off.

  That is, when the light shielding member is moved to the light shielding position, the sunlight from the side window glass side is shielded, so that the light shielding member protrudes from the door opening, which hinders passengers from getting on and off. However, when the occupant gets off and the occupant gets off, the light shielding member is controlled by the control means so as to be stored in the storage position, so that the light shielding member prevents the occupant from getting off. Can be prevented. And since the light shielding member is stored at the time of getting off when getting on, the light shielding member can be prevented from becoming an obstacle when the passenger gets on. Therefore, boarding / exiting performance can be improved.

  For example, the determination means may determine that the occupant is getting off when detecting the stop of the power source of the vehicle, as in the invention according to claim 2, or as in the invention according to claim 3, When the stop of the power source of the vehicle is detected and the contact of the passenger's hand with the door inside handle is detected, it may be determined that the passenger is getting out of the vehicle. When the stop of the power source of the vehicle is detected and the opening of the door is detected, it may be determined that the occupant gets out of the vehicle, the shift position detects the parking range as in the invention of claim 5, and When the contact of the passenger's hand with the door inside handle is detected, it may be determined that the passenger gets out of the vehicle, and the shift position detects the parking range as in the invention according to claim 6, and the door When opening is detected, As in the seventh aspect of the present invention, at least one of the parking range is set to stop the power source of the vehicle, contact the door inside handle of the passenger's hand, open the door, and shift position. When the state is detected, it may be determined that the passenger is getting off.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when it is determined that the occupant is getting off, the light shielding member that shields sunlight incident from the side window glass side is controlled so as to move to the storage position. Since it is possible to prevent the member from hindering the passenger from getting on and off, there is an effect that the movement of the light shielding member can be controlled to improve the boarding / exiting performance.

  Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The roof head lining 16 is provided with an opening 16A for projecting the light shielding plate 12 along the side window glass 14, and the light shielding plate 12 passes through the opening 16A and is stored in the roof head lining 16. The position moves to the light shielding position protruding from the roof head lining 16.

  Between the roof head lining 16 and the side roof rail panel 18, a plurality of rollers 20, 22, and 24 that support the light shielding plate 12 are provided, and the rollers 20 to 22 rotate as the light shielding plate 12 moves. Thus, the sliding movement of the light shielding plate 12 is supported. The light shielding plate 12 is provided with a convex portion 12A for restricting it from protruding from the roof head lining 16 by a predetermined amount or more, and the rotation of the rollers 20 and 22 is restricted by the convex portion 12A. Movement is restricted.

  Further, the roller 20 is provided with a motor 34 (see FIG. 3) for rotationally driving the roller 20, and the roller 20 is rotationally driven by the motor 34. That is, when the roller 20 is rotationally driven by the motor 34, the roller 20 rotates and the light shielding plate 12 is slid to the storage position and the light shielding position.

Thus, when the occupant gets off, the shading plate 12 is moved to the storage position, so that it can be prevented from getting in the way, and the shading plate 12 is stored at the time of getting off. It is possible to prevent the light shielding plate 12 from being obstructed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the P range of the shift position is detected and the opening of the door is detected, it is determined that the passenger is getting off, and the light shielding plate 12 of the sun visor device 10 is set to the storage position. Since it controls so that it may move, it can prevent that the light shielding plate 12 obstruct | occludes a passenger | crew's getting on / off like 1st-4th embodiment, and boarding / alighting property can be improved.

  In the above-described embodiment, the detection of the passenger's getting off is determined by appropriately combining engine stop detection, hand contact detection to the door inside handle, door opening detection, shift position detection, etc. This determination is not limited to the above, and the passenger getting off determination may be performed by at least one detection described above, or another method may be applied.
