Description

  The present invention relates to a trunk lid position adjusting structure for adjusting a closing position of a trunk lid of an automobile.

  In the case of a trunk lid that moves a relatively long distance when opening and closing, such as a trunk lid of a convertible car that opens and closes the roof, the arm of the hinge mechanism that rotatably supports the trunk lid becomes relatively long. It may end up. In such a case, the lateral displacement (the vehicle width direction or the vehicle longitudinal direction) of the closing position of the trunk lid may become large.

Therefore, conventionally, there is known a structure in which a position adjusting member is provided at a portion where the trunk lid side and the vehicle body side face each other when the trunk lid is in the closed position so that the closed position of the trunk lid can be adjusted. (Patent Document 1).
US Pat. No. 5,584,528

  However, since the position adjustment structure of the trunk lid disclosed in Patent Document 1 is configured to cut off a strip integrated with the position adjustment member after the position adjustment is completed, resource saving is achieved. And from the viewpoint of production cost.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a trunk lid position adjusting structure capable of further saving resources.

  In the present invention, a position adjustment member attached to the vehicle body side and abutting on an abutting member provided on the trunk lid side is provided with a hook portion for hooking a locking tool configured as a separate member from the position adjustment member, A retractable upright portion is provided below the hook portion so as to stand upright with respect to the side wall of the vertical wall on the vehicle body side, and the position is adjusted between the hook portion and the upright portion in the upright posture. The main feature is that the stopper can be held, and after the position adjustment, the upright portion can be brought down to the prone posture along the side surface of the vertical wall.

  According to the present invention, since the locking tool is a separate member from the position adjusting member, it can be used repeatedly, and resource saving can be achieved compared to the case where the strip is cut from the position adjusting member. Moreover, it can suppress that a latching tool remove | deviates from a hook part at the time of position adjustment, suppressing the aesthetic loss after position adjustment by the part which provided the standable part which can be tilted.

In each figure, FR indicates the front side of the vehicle, UP indicates the upper side of the vehicle, and LH indicates the left side in the vehicle width direction.

  The trunk lid position adjusting structure according to this embodiment is used to adjust the closing position of the trunk lid 3 that opens and closes the trunk room 2 of the automobile 1 in the vehicle width direction. The trunk lid 3 is supported on the vehicle body side so that the opening portion of the trunk room 2 can be opened and closed via a trunk hinge portion 4 configured by rotatably connecting a plurality of link arms or the like.

  The position adjustment structure of the trunk lid according to the present embodiment includes the vehicle body side position adjustment member 12 (see FIGS. 2 to 8) attached to the side panel 5 as the vehicle body side, and the trunk on the trunk lid 3 side. And an abutting member 11 (see FIG. 4) attached to the hinge portion 4.

  When the trunk lid 3 is closed, as shown in FIG. 4, the contact portion 111 of the contact member 11 on the trunk lid 3 side and the contacted portion 122a of the position adjusting member 12 on the vehicle body side contact each other. . Here, the contacted portion 122a protrudes from the base portion 121 toward the substantially normal direction (right direction in FIG. 4) of the side surface (surface in the vehicle width direction) of the side panel 5 as the vertical wall on the vehicle body side. The protruding portion 122 is formed as an inclined surface that is inclined in a direction away from the side surface of the side panel 5 (rightward in FIG. 4) as it goes downward on the protruding end side of the protruding portion 122. On the other hand, the contact portion 111 on the trunk lid 3 side is formed as an inclined surface that is inclined along the contacted portion 122a. A plurality of projecting pieces 111 a are projected on the contact portion 111.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, by changing the vertical position of the position adjustment member 12 on the vehicle body side, the contact portion 111 whose position is defined in the vertical direction is closed when the trunk lid 3 is closed. The position in contact with the contact portion 122a can be changed in the lateral direction (vehicle width direction in the present embodiment), so that the closing position of the trunk lid 3 can be adjusted along the lateral direction. In the present embodiment, only the configuration on the starboard side will be described. However, the contact member 11 and the position adjusting member 12 can be similarly applied to the starboard side, and both the starboard side and the starboard side (vehicle width) It can be easily understood that it can be provided on both sides.

  In this embodiment, the vertical position of the position adjusting member 12 is adjusted using the locking tool 13 shown in FIGS. 4, 9, and 10. A hooking portion 123 that hooks the mooring portion 131 of the locking tool 13 is formed. In the present embodiment, the hook portion 123 is formed as a hook-like portion in which the protruding end side of the protruding portion 122 protrudes downward at the lower end portion of the protruding portion 122.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a tiltable upright portion 124 is provided below the hooking portion 123 so as to be in a standing posture (standing posture) with a gap therebetween, and during position adjustment. As shown in FIGS. 4, 10, etc., the standing portion 124 is set in the standing posture, and the mooring portion 131 (the lower end portion) of the locking tool 13 is held between the standing portion 124 and the hooking portion 123 in the standing posture. I can do it. That is, in this embodiment, the release state of the locked state between the mooring portion 131 and the hooking portion 123 is suppressed using the standing portion 124 in the standing posture.

  Moreover, the position adjustment member 12 is provided with the substantially square plate-shaped base part 121 as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. The base portion 121 corresponds to the side surface contact portion of the present invention that contacts the side panel 5 and can be moved up and down along the side panel 5, and is a substantially rectangular flat plate portion having a predetermined thickness. 121a, a seat part 121b projecting with a predetermined height h1 at the central part on the back side of the flat plate part 121a, and a hook-like hook part 121d projecting while being bent downward on the back side of the seat part 121b It is equipped with.

  In the present embodiment, two protrusions 122 are provided on the surface side of the base portion 121 so as to protrude in the vehicle front-rear direction so as to be substantially parallel to each other. A long hole 121c that is long in the vertical direction is formed at a substantially central position of the base 121. Screws and bolts (both not shown) as fixtures for fixing the position adjusting member 12 to the side panel 5 are inserted into the long holes 121c from the surface side (side from which the protruding portion 122 protrudes). And the bolt are screwed into a female screw hole formed in the side panel 5 (for example, a female screw hole of a weld nut fixed to the back side of the side panel 5), so that the position adjusting member 12 is connected to the side panel 5 on the vehicle body side. It is designed to be attached to. That is, the long hole 121c corresponds to the mounting fixing portion of the present invention. It should be noted that during position adjustment work, it is preferable that these screws and bolts are loosely attached to the female screw holes so that the position adjustment member 12 is temporarily fixed along the side surface of the side panel 5 so as to be slidable up and down. It is. Then, after determining the vertical position of the position adjusting member 12 while looking at the closed position of the trunk lid 3, the fixing tool is consolidated.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, at a position below each protrusion 122, a notch 124 a extending a predetermined length upward from the lower end edge of the base portion 121 is spaced apart by a width W. A pair is formed, and a portion between the notches 124a forming the pair is an upstanding portion 124. And this standing part 124 is connected with the base part 121 by the thin part by the side of the surface 121S between the upper ends of the notch 124a which makes a pair, and the said thin connection part is used as the hinge part 124b.

  Further, the standing portion 124 has substantially the same thickness as the flat plate portion 121a of the base portion 121. As shown in FIG. 6, in the prone posture (storage posture) substantially along the side surface of the side panel 5, the upright portion 124 of the flat plate portion 121a. The surface 121S and the surface 124S of the upright portion 124 are substantially flush with each other. Therefore, by pulling out the lower end portion of the standing portion 124 with fingers or the like, the standing portion 124 can be rotated around the hinge portion 124b, and the standing posture as shown in FIGS. 4, 5, and 7 can be obtained. As shown in FIG. 7, the standing portion 124 is formed in a hook shape by bending the tip portion, and in the standing state, it has a substantially C shape together with the hook portion 123 (see FIG. 4). And the standing part 124 can be made into a prone posture as shown in FIG. 6 by pushing down the standing part 124 which stood up with fingers.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, on both sides in the width direction near the hinge portion 124 b of the standing portion 124, as elastically deformable regulating portions that regulate the change of the standing portion 124 from the standing posture to the prone posture, A locking projection 126 is provided. As shown in FIG. 4, the locking projection 126 protrudes from the position near the hinge portion 124 b toward the outer side in the width direction of the standing portion 124 on the back surface 124 </ b> B side of the standing portion 124. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, in the standing posture, it is locked to the surface 121S of the flat plate portion 121a, and as shown in FIG. 8, it is locked to the back surface 121B of the flat plate portion 121a. And this latching convex part 126 is comprised so that it may elastically deform by the load input of the pull-out or pushing down applied to the standing part 124 with fingers etc., and each latching state is cancelled | released. At this time, the degree of elastic deformation with respect to the input load of the locking convex portion 126, that is, the threshold load for changing the posture of the standing portion 124 can be appropriately adjusted depending on the material, shape, etc. of the locking convex portion 126. .

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the locking tool 13 is connected to a mooring portion 131 having a substantially home base shape surrounding the two projecting portions 122 of the position adjusting member 12 and a sharp end portion serving as an upper end of the mooring portion 131. A string portion 133 and a handle portion 132 provided at the end of the string portion 133 opposite to the anchoring portion 131 are provided. Among these, the mooring part 131 is spanned between the two hooking parts 123 and 123 and at least the side of the two projecting parts 122 and 122 as shown in FIG. (In this embodiment, the front-rear direction) and the lower part is surrounded.

  In performing the position adjustment using the position adjusting member 12 and the locking tool 13 having the above-described configuration, first, in a state where the base portion 121 is temporarily fixed to the side panel 5 using a fixing tool, as shown in FIG. The anchoring part 131 of the locking tool 13 is hooked on the hooking part 123 and the standing part 124 is raised. In this state, the trunk lid 3 is closed in a state in which the string portion 133 of the locking tool 13 is drawn upward from the gap between the opening periphery of the trunk room 2 and the trunk lid 3. Then, the position adjustment member 12 is moved up and down while pulling the string portion 133 pulled out outward, and the closing position of the trunk lid 3 is set in the horizontal direction (this embodiment) while visually checking the size of the gap. Adjust in the vehicle width direction). Then, the trunk lid 3 is opened while maintaining the position of the locking tool 13 at the right closing position, and a fixing tool such as a screw or a bolt is passed through the elongated hole 121c to form it on the side panel 5 side. The position adjusting member 12 is fixed to the side panel 5 by being screwed into the formed female screw hole. Thereafter, the standing portion 124 is tilted and the anchoring portion 131 of the locking tool 13 is removed from the hooking portion 123, thereby completing the position adjustment process.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the position adjustment member 12 is provided with the hook portion 123 for hooking the locking tool 13 configured as a separate member from the position adjustment member 12, and below the hook portion 123. In addition, a retractable upright portion 124 that is in an upright posture with respect to the side surface of the side panel 5 is provided, and the locking tool 13 is placed between the hook portion 123 and the upright portion 124 in the upright posture during position adjustment. The upright portion 124 is configured to be able to fall to a prone posture along the side surface of the side panel 5 after the position adjustment.

  For this reason, it is not necessary to cut out the strip from the position adjusting member 12 as in the prior art, and the locking tool 13 can be used repeatedly, thereby saving resources. In addition, the position adjustment is performed while the erection part 124 is provided in the standing posture after the position adjustment, and the aesthetic appearance is not deteriorated or the article or the like is caught on the standing part 124 by the amount of the provisional rising part 124 provided. It can suppress that the latching tool 13 remove | deviates from the hook part 123 sometimes.

  In the present embodiment, the position adjusting member 12 is provided with the locking convex portion 126 as an elastically deformable restricting portion that restricts the standing portion 124 from changing from the standing posture to the prone posture. Therefore, it becomes easy to maintain the state in which the locking tool 13 is hooked on the hook portion 123, and the position adjustment work can be executed more reliably and smoothly.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the locking projection 126 restricts the standing portion 124 from changing from the prone posture to the standing posture. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the standing portion 124 from standing up unintentionally before and after performing the position adjustment work (a state in which the position adjustment work is not performed), and causing a problem associated therewith.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the upright portion 124 is supported by the flat plate portion 121a so as to be rotatable between the upright posture and the prone posture, and the locking convex portion 126 as the restricting portion is raised on the upright portion 124. In the posture, it is provided as a protrusion that engages with the back surface 121B of the flat plate portion 121a in the prone posture, which is engaged with the front surface 121S of the flat plate portion 121a, and the posture change between the standing posture and the prone posture is regulated by the engaging convex portion 126. I tried to do it. That is, according to such a configuration, both the standing posture and the prone posture can be maintained by the locking convex portion 126, and the configuration can be simplified as compared with the case where a configuration for maintaining each posture is provided separately. There is.

  In the present embodiment, the position adjusting member 12 is provided with two protrusions 122 side by side with an interval between them, and the position adjusting member 12 is fixed between the two protrusions 122 for fixing to the vehicle body side. A long hole 121c as a fixing portion was formed. In the present embodiment, a load is input from the trunk lid 3 to the position adjustment member 12 through the contacted portion 122a of the protruding portion 122. Therefore, in this way, by setting the attachment point on the vehicle body side between the two protrusions 122, the trunk lid 3 moves from the trunk lid 3 to the position adjustment member 12 in the side-by-side direction of the protrusion 122 with respect to the attachment point. It becomes easy to secure the balance of the acting load, and the position of the position adjusting member 12 after being fixed (inclination, rotation, etc.) can be suppressed by suppressing the load from acting on the attachment point. it can.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the position adjusting member 12 is provided with two protruding portions 122 side by side with a space therebetween, and the hook portions 123 are formed at the lower ends of the two protruding portions 122, respectively. As described above, by providing the hooking portion 123 at the lower end portion of the protruding portion 122, it is possible to obtain a simpler configuration than when the hooking portion 123 is provided separately from the protruding portion 122. Further, the mooring part 131 of the locking tool 13 can be bridged between the two hooking parts 123 and the two projecting parts 122 can be surrounded at least from the side and from below, and the mooring part 131 is hooked on the hooking part 123. In this state, there is an advantage that the position adjustment member 12 can be easily balanced in the side-by-side direction of the protrusions 122, and the position adjustment operation can be performed more reliably and smoothly. Furthermore, as in the present embodiment, when the elongated hole 121c as the attachment fixing portion is formed between the two projecting portions 122, it becomes easy to secure a relatively wide space inside the mooring portion 131, and the mooring portion There is an advantage that the work of fixing screws, bolts, etc. with the 131 hooked on the hooking portion 123 can be performed more easily and smoothly.
