Description

  The present invention relates to an automobile in which a roof panel attached to a vehicle body roof opening of an automobile is divided into a plurality of roof panels, at least one of which is a sliding roof panel that seals against the lower surface of the sliding roof panel. The present invention relates to a sliding roof weather strip.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a vehicle body roof opening of a vehicle body roof and a roof panel that opens and closes the vehicle body roof opening, a roof panel that is constituted by a single panel without being divided is often used.
However, there has been a demand to enlarge the vehicle body roof opening 2 in order to brighten the passenger compartment, improve the air flow, improve the open feeling, and improve the view.

  When the roof panel is a single panel, the roof panel that slides when the vehicle body roof opening is opened is also heavier and heavier, the distance to the rear of the roof panel is longer, and the drive mechanism is larger. Furthermore, there was also a risk that the sliding roof panel would protrude behind the vehicle body.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, it has been attempted to divide the roof panel 110 into a plurality of roof panels in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, but a seal between the divided roof panels 110 is necessary. .
When the number of divided roof panels 110 is three, there is a structure in which the front roof panel 111 or the rear roof panel 113 is fixed and the center sliding roof panel 112 is slidable (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

  In this case, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the seal between the sliding roof panel 112 and the front and rear roof panels 111 and 113 is used to attach the weather strip to the base member 3 of the vehicle body roof opening 2. It is conceivable to install it. The weather strip includes a front roof weather strip 120 formed on the front side, a rear roof weather strip 130 formed on the rear side, and a sliding roof weather strip 140 that seals the periphery of the vehicle body roof opening 2. Formed from.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the sliding roof panel 112 is slid and closed, both the sliding roof panel 112 and the position between the sliding roof panel 112 and the roof panel 111 on the front side of the sliding roof panel 112 are displayed. The upper part of the front roof weather strip 120 attached at a position below the lower surface of the roof panels 111 and 112 abuts against the ends of both roof panels 111 and 112, respectively, and seals.

At the same time, the upper portion of the hollow seal portion 143 of the sliding roof weather strip 140 provided on the rear side of the front roof weather strip 120 abuts against the lower surface of the sliding roof panel 112 and double seals.
Further, the seal between the sliding roof panel 112 and the rear roof panel 113 is similarly formed by the rear roof weather strip 130 and the sliding roof weather strip 140.

  However, as shown in FIG. 5, the sliding roof weather strip 140 uses a double-sided adhesive tape 145 and a clip 146 on the bottom wall 141 of the sliding roof weather strip 140 to be attached to the base member 3. For this reason, it takes a lot of time to install and the cost also increases. Moreover, when attaching to the base member 3 only with the double-sided adhesive tape 145, positioning of attachment was difficult and workability | operativity was not good.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the roof weather strip 240 having a hollow seal portion 260 on the vehicle outer side wall 251 of the trim portion 250 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is attached to the vehicle body roof opening 2. Some are attached to the flange portion 5 (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  However, in this case, since the hollow seal portion 260 is formed in an arc shape, when contacting the lower surface of the sliding roof panel 112, the contact area is large, the contact pressure is reduced, and the sealing performance is lowered. It becomes. Furthermore, when the deformation of the hollow seal portion 260 is not stable at the time of contact and deforms rearward, it interferes with the interior member attached to the vehicle body roof opening 2 or between the hollow seal portion 260 and the sliding roof panel 112. Rainwater, car wash water, etc. may easily enter from the outside of the vehicle.

In order to seal between the roof panel 12 and the third roof panel 13, a rear roof weather strip 30 is disposed on the rear side of the portion of the base member 3 to which the sliding roof weather strip 40 is attached. .
Instead of the front roof weather strip 20, a dam member or a seal lip that contacts the lower surface of the first roof panel 11 may be attached.

FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which the front roof weather strip 20 and the sliding roof weather strip 40 are attached between the first roof panel 11 and the sliding roof panel 12.
The front roof weather strip 20 has a mounting base 21 attached to the base member 3 with a double-sided adhesive tape 23, and a hollow seal portion 22 abutting against a gap between the first roof panel 11 and the sliding roof panel 12, is doing.

Next, the shape of the sliding roof weather strip 40 will be described.
The sliding roof weather strip 40 includes a trim portion 50 fixed to the base member 3 of the vehicle body roof opening 2, and a hollow seal portion that is formed integrally with the trim portion 50 and abuts against the lower surface of the sliding roof panel 12 to seal it. 60, and a seal lip 70 portion that contacts and seals against the base member 3.

First, the structure of the trim part 50 is demonstrated.
The trim portion 50 includes a vehicle outer side wall 51, a vehicle inner side wall 52, and a bottom wall 53, and has a substantially U-shaped cross section. An insert member 56 is embedded in the trim portion 50 in order to increase the strength for gripping the flange portion 5. The insert member 56 is formed of a sheet metal or a hard resin, and is formed in a ladder shape, a fish bone shape, a zigzag shape or the like in order to ensure flexibility when attached to the corner portion. The trim part 50 is formed of a solid material or a fine foam material.

  The trim part 50 is attached to the flange part 5 formed at the tip of the base member 3. For this reason, the trim part 50 can be attached simply by inserting the flange part 5 into the inside of the substantially U-shaped cross section, and the attachment work is easy and can be reliably attached to a predetermined position of the base member 3.

  A vehicle outer side holding lip 54 and a vehicle inner side holding lip 55 are formed on the inner surfaces of the vehicle outer side wall 51 and the vehicle inner side wall 52 so as to extend in the longitudinal direction and sandwich the flange portion 5. For this reason, each front-end | tip of the vehicle outer side holding lip 54 and the vehicle inner side holding lip 55 is contact | abutted to the side surface of the both sides of the flange part 5, respectively, and the flange part 5 is hold | maintained firmly. For this reason, the trim part 50 does not fall down, and the hollow seal part 60 can be surely brought into contact with the lower surface of the sliding roof panel 12 to ensure sealing performance.

  In the present embodiment, the vehicle outer side holding lip 54 is formed to be three shorter, and the vehicle inner side holding lip 55 is formed to be one long and projecting in an oblique direction inside a substantially U-shaped cross section. For this reason, the flange portion 5 is positioned on the inner surface side of the vehicle outer side wall 51 and is stably held by the three vehicle outer side holding lips 54. Furthermore, even if the flange portion 5 is uneven due to the vehicle inner side holding lip 55, the flange portion 5 is pressed toward the vehicle outer side wall 51, and the flange portion 5 can be stably held.

  A sealer 57 can be attached to the inner surface of the bottom wall 53 of the trim portion 50. In this case, when the flange portion 5 is inserted inside the trim portion 50 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, the tip of the flange portion 5 can enter the sealer 57. For this reason, the sealing performance between the flange part 5 and the trim part 50 improves.

  A step portion 6 can be formed near the base of the flange portion 5 at the tip of the base member 3. Even when a space is provided between the base member 3 and the sliding roof panel 12 when the flange portion 5 is inserted into the trim portion 50 with a substantially U-shaped cross section, the flange portion 5 is slid by the step portion 6. 12, the hollow seal portion 60 can be positioned close to the lower surface of the sliding roof panel 12, sealing performance can be ensured, and the hollow seal portion 60 can be made small.

Next, the hollow seal portion 60 will be described.
The hollow seal portion 60 has a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape and is formed integrally with the vehicle outer side wall 51 of the trim portion 50. The hollow seal portion 60 includes a hollow seal portion first side wall 61 that extends from a portion on the bottom wall 53 side of the vehicle outer side wall 51 and forms a side wall on the front end side of the flange portion 5, and the vicinity of the front end of the vehicle outer side wall 51. And a hollow seal portion second side wall 62 that extends from one end and constitutes a side wall on the base side of the flange portion 5.

The tip of the hollow seal portion first side wall 61 and the tip of the hollow seal portion second side wall 62 are connected to form a hollow shape, and the tip constitutes a hollow seal portion tip portion 63.
In the vicinity of the root of the second side wall 62 of the hollow seal portion, a front end portion 58 of the outer side wall made of a sponge material extends slightly from the front end of the outer side wall 51, and the hollow seal portion second portion 58 extends from the front end portion 58 of the outer side wall. A side wall 62 and a seal lip 70 described later are extended.

  When the trim portion 50 is attached to the flange portion 5, the distal end portion 63 of the hollow seal portion comes into contact with the lower surface of the sliding roof panel 12. The hollow seal portion 60 is formed in a triangular shape in cross section, and the tip portion 63 of the hollow seal portion at the apex has a small contact area with the sliding roof panel 12 and can contact (contact in line contact), The contact pressure is large, and the space between the lower surface of the sliding roof panel 12 can be surely sealed.

  The hollow seal portion first side wall 61 is inclined with respect to the vehicle outer side wall 51 so as to be inclined toward the opening side of the trim portion 50, and the hollow seal portion second side wall 62 is substantially perpendicular to the vehicle outer side wall 51. Since it is formed, the hollow seal portion 60 is formed in a substantially triangular cross section. For this reason, when the sliding roof panel 12 comes into contact with the front end portion 63 of the hollow seal portion, the hollow seal portion 60 bends in the direction of the vehicle body roof opening 2, and therefore interferes with an interior member attached to the vehicle interior side. There is no.

  The hollow seal portion second side wall 62 can be formed to be slightly curved outward from the hollow seal portion 60, that is, toward the vehicle body roof opening 2. In this case, when the sliding roof panel 12 comes into contact with the hollow seal portion 60, the hollow seal portion second side wall 62 can bend more reliably in the direction of the vehicle body roof opening 2. Does not interfere with the interior member attached to the inside of the vehicle.

  When high-pressure water enters from the vehicle body roof opening 2 in the direction of the hollow seal portion 60, the direction is directed by the seal lip portion 70 to the direction of the hollow seal portion second side wall 62 as shown by an arrow A in FIG. Since it acts on the second side wall 62 of the hollow seal portion and presses the second side wall 62 of the hollow seal portion against the sliding roof panel 12, it prevents further intrusion of high-pressure water into the interior or weakens the water force. It is possible to improve the sealing performance.

  The seal lip portion 70 is integrally formed obliquely in a direction away from the trim portion 50 continuously from the vehicle outer side wall front end portion 58 to the root of the hollow seal portion second side wall 62. Thereby, the seal lip portion 70 and the hollow seal portion second side wall 62 are continuously formed. The distal end portion 71 of the seal lip portion 70 contacts the base member 3.

For this reason, when the sliding roof panel 12 abuts against the distal end portion 63 of the hollow seal portion, the pressing force of the sliding roof panel 12 is transmitted to the seal lip portion 70 via the hollow seal portion second side wall 62, and the seal The force with which the tip 71 of the lip 70 presses the base member 3 is increased, and the sealing performance between the seal lip 70 and the base member 3 can be improved.
For this reason, the seal lip portion 70 can abut against the base member 3 to prevent rain water, car wash water, noise and the like from entering the trim portion 50.

  Since the hollow seal portion 60 and the seal lip portion 70 are formed of a sponge material, the hollow seal portion 60 and the seal lip portion 70 can be flexibly bent when contacting the sliding roof panel 12, and the base member 3 Even if there is a dimensional variation between the sliding roof panel 12, the sealing can be surely performed. Moreover, since it is a sponge material, a weight can be reduced and it can contribute to weight reduction of a vehicle.

  The seal portion holding lip 80 can be formed obliquely in the direction of the vehicle body roof opening 2 from the vicinity of the base of the seal lip portion 70. In this case, when the flange portion 5 is inserted into the interior of the trim portion 50 having a substantially U-shaped cross section, the seal portion holding lip 80 can abut on the base step portion 6 of the flange portion 5. The sealing performance between the trim portions 50 can be improved, and the insertion dimension accuracy of the trim portion 50 can be improved.

Although the present invention has been described with respect to the sliding roof weather strip 40 that seals the front side of the lower surface of the sliding roof panel 12, the present invention can also be used on the rear side and both sides of the sliding roof panel 12.
The sliding roof weather strip 40 can be manufactured with one extruded product on the front side, the rear side, and the side side. However, the sliding roof weather strip 40 should be used by extruding each separately and connecting the corners by molding. You can also.

  The sliding roof weather strip 40 uses a foam material of EPDM rubber or olefin thermoplastic elastomer as a sponge material, and similarly uses a solid material or fine foam material of EPDM rubber or olefin thermoplastic elastomer as a solid material. can do.
