<Overall configuration of sunshade device>
The sunshade device 1 according to the present embodiment is a type in which a rear sunshade panel is positioned upward and a front sunshade panel is stored under the sunshade panel, and three sunshade panels are configured.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a rectangular glass panel 3 indicated by a virtual line is attached to a roof outer plate 2 of a vehicle, and a sunshade that performs daylighting and light shielding from the glass panel 3 is provided in the ceiling of the passenger compartment. The device 1 is internally provided. The sunshade device 1 is attached to the inner opening 4 of the roof so that the vehicle front-rear direction can be freely opened and closed, and in a closed state, the sunshade device 5A to 5C are arranged in parallel in the vehicle front-rear direction, and the sunshade panels 5A to 5A. Front sliders 6A to 6C and rear sliders 7A to 7C provided on the side of 5C, guide rails 8 for guiding the front and rear movements of the front sliders 6A to 6C and the rear sliders 7A to 7C, and the sunshade located in the forefront The drive source 9 connected to the panel 5A and the adjacent sunshade panels (referring to the relationship between 5A and 5B and between 5B and 5C) are detachably connected so that the sunshade panels 5A to 5C are interlockedly opened and closed. And a connecting mechanism 10.

  Referring also to FIG. 2, support brackets 11 </ b> A to 11 </ b> C that extend in the vehicle front-rear direction are attached to the left and right edges of the sunshade panels 5 </ b> A to 5 </ b> C. On the outer surface side, the front sliders 6A to 6C and the rear sliders 7A to 7C are formed so as to project. The sunshade panels 5A to 5C slide open and close in the vehicle front-rear direction when the front sliders 6A to 6C and the rear sliders 7A to 7C are guided by the left and right guide rails 8 and linearly move.

  The guide frame 12 constituting the guide rail 8 will be described. The guide frame 12 is a member having a constant cross-sectional shape extending in the vehicle front-rear direction, and is made of, for example, an extruded shape member made of an aluminum alloy. The guide frame 12 constitutes a guide rail 8 that opens toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction. In this embodiment, the guide rail 8 is composed of two upper and lower stages of an upper rail 8A and a lower rail 8B. Yes. Both the upper rail 8A and the lower rail 8B exhibit a rectangular cross-sectional space opened toward the inner side in the vehicle width direction. Each of the rear sliders 7A to 7C is guided by the lower rail 8B, and the front sliders 6B and 6C are guided by the upper rail 8A. The front slider 6A is guided by the lower rail 8B.

  In the guide frame 12, a cable groove 8C for inserting the push-pull cable 16 is formed below the lower rail 8B. The push-pull cable 16 is push-pull operated by the drive source 9 (electric motor or the like) shown in FIG. 1, and its tip is connected to the support bracket 11A of the sunshade panel 5A. The driving force applied to the sunshade panel 5A is transmitted to the remaining sunshade panels 5B and 5C via the coupling mechanism 10.

  A cross-sectional structure of the guide frame 12 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The guide frame 12 constituting the guide rail 8 is located above the interior ceiling plate 13 around the inner opening 4, and one end side in the vehicle width direction is a trim attached to the edge of the interior ceiling plate 13. The other end side is fixed to a vehicle body side frame (not shown).

  A blindfold 15 for shielding the structure of the guide frame 12 is disposed between the upper surface of the guide frame 12 and the glass panel 3 of the sunroof device. This blinding material 15 shields at least a part of the side of the opening 4 provided with the guide rail 8 in the same manner as a shielding member to be described later, thereby improving the appearance from the inside of the vehicle interior.

  In the guide frame 12, cable grooves 8C and 8D for inserting the push-pull cable 16 are formed below the lower rail 8B. The cable groove 8C is a drive path groove through which the distal end side of the push-pull cable 16 is inserted, and the cable groove 8D is an idle path groove through which the end side of the push-pull cable 16 for the guide frame 12 is inserted. .

  Referring to FIG. 2, the coupling mechanism 10 is a cam mechanism in which the cam pin 18 is detachably inserted into the cam groove 19, and the sunshade panels (5A and 5B, 5B and 5C) can be freely engaged and disengaged. It is a mechanism. In the cam mechanism for connecting the sunshade panel 5B and the sunshade panel 5C, the cam pin 18 is formed on the front sunshade panel 5B side, and the cam groove 19 is formed on the rear sunshade panel side, that is, the sunshade panel 5C side. This structure is the same in the relationship between the sunshade panel 5A and the sunshade panel 5B.

  A rear slider accommodating portion 20 is attached to the rear end of the lower rail 8B and extends obliquely upward to the rear. At the time of storage, the rear slider storage portion 20 is configured such that the rear sliders 7C and 7B of the sunshade panel 5C and the sunshade panel 5B enter in order. When the rear sliders 7C and 7B move up the rear slider accommodating portion 20, respectively, the front sliders 6C and 6B can rise through the front slider rising opening 30 formed at the rear of the rear end of the upper rail 8A. Thereby, the sunshade panels 5C and 5B can move upward. The connection state by the connection mechanism 10 is configured to be released when the rear sliders 7C and 7B are raised to a predetermined position of the rear slider accommodating portion 20.

<About the operating procedure of the sunshade device>
Next, the operation procedure of the device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. When the sunshade is fully opened, the sunshade panels 5A, 5B, and 5C are stored so as to overlap each other as shown in FIGS. In this state, both the front slider 6A and the rear slider 7A of the support bracket 11A are slid onto the lower rail 8B. Further, the front sliders 6B and 6C of the support brackets 11B and 11C are stored in a state regulated with respect to the sliding direction in the front slider accommodating portion 30 integrally coupled to the rear end of the upper rail 8A. Both the rear sliders 7B and 7C are stored in a state of being engaged in the sliding direction in the rear slider accommodating portion 20 joined to the rear end of the lower rail 8B.

  4 and 5, when the sunshade is closed from the fully open position, when the push / pull cable coupled to the front end of the support bracket 11A is driven forward, the front slider 6A and the rear slider 7A are slid onto the lower rail 8B. The supported support bracket 11A advances, and the sunshade panel 5A supported by the support bracket 11A advances.

  When the support bracket 11A continues to advance and the cam pin 18 projecting outward at the rear end engages with the cam groove 19 provided at the front end of the support bracket 11B (see FIG. 6), the cam pin of the support bracket 11A 18 moves in the horizontal direction along the lower rail 8B, but the cam groove 19 of the support bracket 11B is inclined upward, and in this state, the front slider 6B integrated with the cam groove 19 is Since the vertical front wall of the front slider accommodating portion 30 restricts the movement in the front-rear direction, the front end portion of the support bracket 11B is pulled down as the cam pin 18 of the support bracket 11A advances. Accordingly, the front slider 6B of the support bracket 11B moves downward in the front slider accommodating portion 30.

  Since the lower end of the front slider accommodating portion 30 is connected to the upper rail 8A, the front slider 6B of the support bracket 11B moves downward in the front slider accommodating portion 30 and reaches the upper rail 8A. When the support bracket 11A continues to advance with the engagement state between the cam 18 and the cam groove 19, it advances along the upper rail 8A. In conjunction with the forward movement of the support bracket 11B, the rear slider 7B of the support bracket 11B slides down the front lower inclined surface of the rear slider accommodating portion 20 and enters the lower rail 8B as it is, and is supported by the support bracket 11B and this. The sunshade panel 5B continues to move forward together with the support bracket 11A and the sunshade panel 5A.

  When the advancement of the support bracket 11A and the sunshade panel 5A is continued, the cam pin 18 provided at the rear end portion of the support bracket 11B enters the cam groove 19 provided at the front end portion of the support bracket 11B, and in the same manner as described above. The support brackets 11B and 11C are integrated to advance the sunshade panel 5B. Then, the sunshade panel 5B becomes the preceding panel and the sunshade panel 5C becomes the succeeding panel, and the sunshade panels 5B and 5C move forward in a connected state.

  As a result, when the three sunshade panels 5A, 5B, and 5C move forward in a line in the vehicle front-rear direction and reach the fully closed position, the driving force of the push / pull cable is separately generated by the action of a limit switch or the like. Is stopped, and the three sunshade panels 5A, 5B, 5C are connected to each other and stopped at the fully closed position. In this state, the lower surfaces of the three sunshade panels 5A, 5B, and 5C extend on the same continuous surface.

  When opening the sunshade, if the push / pull cable is driven backward, the cam pin 18 at the rear end of the support bracket 11A hits the vehicle rear side surface of the cam groove 19 at the front end of the support bracket 11B. . Although the force of the direction in which the pin 18 is pulled out from the cam groove 19 also acts due to the inclined shape of the cam groove 19, the movement direction of the front sliders 6A, 6B, 6C and the rear sliders 7A, 7B, 7C is changed by the upper rail 8A and the lower rail 8B. Since it is regulated to be in the vehicle front-rear direction, the cam pin 18 pushes the vehicle rear side surface of the cam groove 19 toward the vehicle rear side. Similarly, the cam pin 18 at the rear end portion of the support bracket 11B is supported by the support bracket 11C. Push the cam groove 19 at the front end of. As a result, the three sunshade panels 5A, 5B, 5C are retracted in a line.

  When the rear slider 7C of the support bracket 11C reaches the rear slider accommodating portion 20 that is continuous with the rear end portion of the lower rail 8B, it rises up the inclined surface and reaches almost the end of the inclined surface. Accordingly, the front slider 6C of the support bracket 11C is restricted from moving backward by the rear wall of the front slider accommodating portion 30 that forms the rear end of the upper rail 8A, and in the restricted state, the front slider 6C passes through the cam groove 19 of the support bracket 11C. By moving the pin 18 of the support bracket 11B, the front slider 6C of the support bracket 11C is pushed up in the front slider accommodating portion 30. As a result, the support bracket 11C and the sunshade panel 5C rise. Then, the cam pin 18 at the rear end portion of the support bracket 11B is detached from the cam groove 19 at the front end portion of the support bracket 11C, and the rear slider 7B of the support bracket 11B retracts from the lower rail 8B. In this way, the sunshade panel 5B overlaps the lower surface of the sunshade panel 5C (returns to the state of FIG. 5 through the state of FIG. 7).

  When the sunshade panel 5A is further retracted, the sunshade panel 5B is pushed up in conjunction with the cam pin 18 at the rear end of the support bracket 11A moving in the cam groove 19 at the front end of the support bracket 11B. In this manner, the rear slider 7B at the rear end of the support bracket 11B is stored in the rear slider accommodating portion 20, and the front slider 6B at the front end of the support bracket 11B is accommodated in the front slider accommodating portion 30 so that the sunshade panel 5B is raised. Then, the sunshade panel 5A is retracted to the position where it overlaps the lower surface, and is fully opened.

  Thus, when fully opened, the front and rear movements of the front sliders 6B and 6C of the sunshade panel 5B and the sunshade panel 5C are restricted by the vertical wall of the front slider accommodating portion 30. Does not occur. Also, the engagement and disengagement of the pins 18 and 18 with respect to the cam grooves 19 and 19 can achieve and release the mutual connection of the front and rear sunshade panels 5A, 5B and 5C.・ Since they are disengaged, no noise is generated when the panels are engaged and disengaged, and a smooth and quiet opening / closing operation is realized. In particular, it is preferable to provide an urging means that applies a downward pressing force to the rear sunshade panels 5B and 5C in the storage position, and thereby the backlash in the vertical direction between the panels that overlap in the storage position. It can be surely prevented.

  In the above-described embodiment, the front slider accommodating portion 30 is coupled to the rear end of the upper rail 8A. However, since the rearward limit of the support brackets 11B and 11C is defined by the rear slider accommodating portion 20, The upper slider accommodating portion 30 does not necessarily have to be coupled to the rear end of the upper rail 8 </ b> A, and the upper rail 8 </ b> A may extend to the rear of the front slider accommodating portion 30.
