Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress slack and wrinkle of a sheet form member in a sheet type door for a vehicle which opens/closes a platform door of a vehicle.SOLUTION: When a supporting pole 31 is disposed at a side panel 20 side, a vehicle becomes a door opening state in which a person can get on and off from the platform door 21, by setting a sheet form member 41 aside at an opening edge part 22 of the platform door 21. When the supporting pole 31 is disposed at a front pillar 16 side, it becomes a door closing state, by expanding the sheet form member 41 to close an opening range of the platform door 21. Here, the supporting pole 31 has an energization function to a disposed position to be changed, by a turn over function by own elasticity. The sheet form member 41 that becomes the door closing state receives the energization force of the supporting pole 31 and is stretched by given tension. Thereby, tension is given evenly to the whole of sheet form member 41.

Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle seat-type door that is disposed at a vehicle entrance / exit for easy use and opens and closes the entrance / exit.

  In recent years, vehicles that are easily used for near-field delivery and near-field shopping, such as single-passenger electric vehicles, are known. Even in such a vehicle, it may be used on days when wind is strong or raining. For this reason, even in such a vehicle, a roof and a door for avoiding windbreak and avoiding rain are provided. That is, as a door provided in such a vehicle, a door formed in a sheet shape is known from the advantages such as light weight (for example, see Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2). Such a sheet-type door is in a state in which the door is closed when the sheet-like member is stretched, and an effect of avoiding windbreak and rain can be obtained. That is, fastener members such as slide fasteners and hook-and-loop fasteners are provided on the closed edge of the seat door for such a vehicle, and the door is secured by fastening the sheet-like member stretched by such fastener members. It is in a closed state.

By the way, in the above-described vehicle seat type door, the door is closed by fastening the stretched sheet-like member with the fastener member. For this reason, the tension applied to the fastener member at the time of fastening with the fastener member affects the sheet-like tension.
On the other hand, if the fastening force of the fastener member is set to a small value, sufficient tension is not applied to the sheet-like member because it can be easily closed. Then, slack and wrinkles are generated in the sheet-like member, and the appearance design as a sheet-type door is impaired. Further, the slack of the sheet-like member causes the sheet-like member to flutter upon receiving wind during traveling or the like, and it is desired to eliminate this. Moreover, in the sheet-like member provided with a transparent vinyl window, when the slack or wrinkle occurs, the external permeability is deteriorated.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and a problem to be solved by the present invention is that a seat-type member for a vehicle that opens and closes a vehicle entrance / exit is loosened or wrinkled. It is to suppress.

In order to solve the above problems, the vehicle seat door according to the present invention takes the following means. That is, the vehicle seat-type door according to the first aspect of the present invention is a vehicle-type door that opens and closes a vehicle entrance and exits so that both ends straddle the opening range of the entrance and exit. A support pole that is supported by the opening edge portion of the entrance and exit and can be changed in position by using its own elasticity; and an end of one side range that is formed into a flexible sheet shape A sheet-like member whose edge is fixedly supported at the opening edge portion of the entrance / exit and whose edge of the other side range which is opposite to the one side range is supported according to the support pole; Provided, and when the support pole is disposed close to the fixed support side of the sheet-like member, the door is capable of getting on and off from the entrance / exit with the sheet-like member shifted to the opening edge portion of the entrance / exit When the support pole is in the open state, If the fixed support side bets like member is spaced arrangement a door closed by deploying the sheet-like member so as to close the opening range of the door opening, characterized in that.
The above-mentioned opening edge portion according to the present invention means that the vicinity of the opening edge is included in addition to the substantial opening edge.

According to the vehicle seat-type door according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the support pole is disposed close to the fixed support side of the seat-like member, the seat-like member is shifted to the opening edge portion of the entrance / exit. When the door is in an open state that enables entry / exit from the entrance / exit and the support pole is spaced from the fixed support side of the sheet-like member, the door is opened by expanding the sheet-like member so as to close the opening range of the entrance / exit Closed. Here, the support pole has a function of biasing toward the changed arrangement position by a turnover function by its own elasticity. That is, when the support pole is disposed close to the fixed support side of the sheet-like member, or when the support pole is spaced apart from the fixed support side of the sheet-like member, the door is opened or the door is opened depending on the position of the support pole. It can be switched to the closed state.
Here, the sheet-like member that is in the door-closed state receives the urging force of the support pole in the direction in which the sheet-like member is spaced from the fixed support side of the sheet-like member. That is, the sheet-like member that is in the door closed state is tensioned by receiving the elasticity of the support pole. As a result, the entire sheet-like member can be uniformly tensioned by the elasticity of the support pole itself. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sheet-like member from being slackened or wrinkled. In other words, when the door is closed by deploying the sheet-like member, it is possible to eliminate the need to fasten the developed sheet-like member with a locking member such as a fastener member. That is, it is possible to prevent flutter when receiving wind during traveling or the like while improving the appearance design as a seat-type door. Further, in the case where a transparent vinyl window is provided on the sheet-type door, the vinyl window can be improved in permeability in order to prevent the vinyl window from being slackened or wrinkled.

  According to the vehicle seat door according to the first aspect of the invention, it is possible to prevent the sheet-like member from being slackened or wrinkled.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment for implementing a vehicle seat door according to the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a vehicle exterior perspective view showing a vehicle 10 on which a seat-type door 30 is disposed. In the following description, for convenience of explanation, the directions of “front / rear, up / down, left / right” with respect to the vehicle 10 and the seat-type door 30 are defined as illustrated.
A vehicle 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a vehicle that is easily used, and is a so-called single-person electric vehicle. That is, this vehicle 10 is designed so that one adult can ride in the vehicle compartment 10i. A seat 12 for one person is installed at the center of the floor panel 11 in the vehicle interior 10i. An instrument panel 13 is provided at a position opposite to the seat 12. A handle 14 is installed on the instrument panel 13. The instrument panel 13 is covered with a front cowl 15, and front pillars 16 are provided upright on both the left and right sides. A roof panel 17 is disposed above the vehicle interior 10i and covers the upper portion of the vehicle interior 10i. A wind glass 18 is attached between the left and right front pillars 16. A side mirror 19 is attached to each of the left and right front pillars 16. Reference numeral 20 denotes a side panel that forms a side wall of the vehicle 10.

  By the way, on both sides of the seat 12 of the vehicle 10, entrances 21 for entering and exiting the vehicle interior 10i are provided. In the entrance 21, the floor panel 11 forms an opening edge portion 22 on the lower side and partitions the opening shape, and the front cowl 15 and the front pillar 16 form the opening edge portion 22 on the front side to partition the opening shape. In addition, the entrance / exit 21 has an opening edge portion 22 on the upper side to partition the opening shape, and the rear panel has an opening edge portion 22 to partition the opening shape on the rear side. The entrance / exit 21 that is partitioned and thus has an opening shape allows an occupant to enter and exit the vehicle interior 10 i from the outside of the vehicle 10, so that the passenger can get on and off the vehicle 10. Side visors 27 are disposed at the opening edge portions 22 located on the front side and the upper side of the entrance 21. The side visor 27 is formed in a curved shape so as to be continuous along the shape of the opening edge portion 22 located on the front side and the upper side. The side visor 27 is designed to allow the occupant to avoid wind and rain when the occupant on the vehicle is driving the vehicle 10 in the same manner as a general side visor. The side visor 27 is formed using an appropriate synthetic resin as a molded part of a material and has a shape that is effective for windbreak and rain prevention. The side visor 27 is attached so as to be supported by the front cowl 15, the front pillar 16, and the roof panel 17.

The entrance / exit 21 is provided with a seat-type door 30 for opening and closing the entrance / exit 21. FIG. 2 is an external perspective view showing the seat-type door 30 in the closed state that closes the entrance 21. FIG. 3 is an external perspective view showing the seat-type door 30 in the door open state that opens the entrance 21. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the seat-type door 30 taken along the line IV-IV in FIG. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the seat-type door 30 taken along the line VV in FIG.
The seat-type door 30 is provided to prevent wind and avoid rain during traveling or the like when an occupant gets on the vehicle 10. For this reason, when the seat-type door 30 closes the entrance 21, the door is closed. Conversely, when the seat door 30 is folded and the entrance 21 is opened, the door is opened. When the door is in the closed state, the seat-type door 30 acts to block the entry of wind and rain from the outside into the vehicle interior 10i. 10 can get on and off.

The seat door 30 generally includes a support pole 31 and a sheet-like member 41. The support pole 31 is a rod-shaped molded product made of a synthetic resin having elasticity. For this reason, this support pole 31 itself also has the property as an elastic member. Specifically, the support pole 31 can be bent and can be restored to a rod shape by its own elasticity. As a result, the support pole 31 can change its own arrangement position by a turnover function using its own elasticity, as will be described in detail later. When the arrangement position of the support pole 31 is changed, the support pole 31 is urged by its own elasticity so as to be held at the arrangement position.
Both ends 33 and 35 of the support pole 31 are supported by the opening edge portion 22 of the entrance 21. Specifically, the lower end 33 of the support pole 31 is supported by a lower diagonal portion 23 that is a front end portion of the opening edge portion 22 of the entrance 21 that is partitioned by the floor panel 11. Further, the upper end 35 of the support pole 31 is supported by an upper diagonal portion 25 that is a rear end portion of the opening edge portion 22 of the entrance 21 that is partitioned by the roof panel 17.

The lower diagonal portion 23 and the upper diagonal portion 25 are set at diagonal positions facing each other in the opening edge portion 22 forming the entrance 21. Here, the support pole 31 is supported so as to be bent between the lower diagonal portion 23 and the upper diagonal portion 25. That is, the length of the support pole 31 supported by the lower diagonal portion 23 and the upper diagonal portion 25 is longer than the length of the diagonal line between the lower diagonal portion 23 and the upper diagonal portion 25. Is set. For this reason, when the central portion of the support pole 31 is located on the diagonal line between the lower diagonal portion 23 and the upper diagonal portion 25, the central portion of the support pole 31 is the lower diagonal portion. It is urged in a direction orthogonal to the diagonal line between 23 and the upper diagonal portion 25. That is, when the central portion of the support pole 31 is brought closer to the lower diagonal portion 23 from the diagonal position between the lower diagonal portion 23 and the upper diagonal portion 25, the lower diagonal portion. It is urged toward 23. Conversely, when the central portion of the support pole 31 is brought closer to the upper diagonal portion 25 from the diagonal position between the lower diagonal portion 23 and the upper diagonal portion 25, the upper diagonal portion. It is urged toward 25.
In addition, as a support structure of the lower diagonal part 23 and the upper diagonal part 25 which support the lower end 33 and the upper end 35 of the support pole 31, although a specific illustration is abbreviate | omitted, the well-known shaft support structure utilized widely Can be selected.

  The sheet-like member 41 is formed into a flexible sheet shape. As the material of the sheet-like member 41, a material that is advantageous for escaping wind, for example, used for windsurfing sails is selected. The sheet-like member 41 is formed in a shape along the opening shape of the entrance / exit 21. In the sheet-like member 41, the edge of the rear side range is supported by the opening edge portion 22 of the entrance / exit 21, and the edge of the front side range is supported by the support pole 31. Specifically, the edge 43 in the rear side range of the sheet-like member 41 is attached to the opening edge portion 22 of the entrance 21 that is partitioned by the side panel 20 via a rivet 44. That is, the end edge 43 in the rear side range of the sheet-like member 41 is fixedly supported by the opening edge portion 22 of the entrance 21 that is partitioned by the side panel 20. Further, the edge 45 in the front side range of the sheet-like member 41 is attached to the support pole 31 by sewing. The rear range is a one-side range according to the present invention, and the front-side range is another side range according to the present invention.

Here, when the support pole 31 is disposed close to the fixed support side of the sheet-like member 41 (on the side panel 20 side), the support pole 31 is attached so as to be closer to the fixed support side by its own elastic force. Be forced. Then, the support pole 31 causes the sheet-like member 41 to be shifted to the opening edge portion 22 (the side panel 20 side serving as the fixed support side) of the entrance 21. If it does so, the entrance 21 will be in the open state, and will be in the door open state which a passenger | crew can board / alight.
On the other hand, when the support pole 31 is arranged away from the fixed support side of the sheet-like member 41 (front pillar 16 side), the support pole 31 is further separated from the fixed support side by its own elastic force. Be energized by. If it does so, the support pole 31 will expand | deploy the sheet-like member 41 so that the entrance / exit 21 may be covered. When the sheet-like member 41 is deployed in this way, the sheet-like member 41 closes the opening range of the entrance 21 and enters a door closed state that separates the vehicle interior 10i from the outside. The support pole 31 that closes the door 21 by the sheet-like member 41 closing the door 21 as described above is engaged with a stopper 37 attached to the front pillar 16 as shown in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the support pole 31 that is locked to the stopper 37 to close the entrance / exit 21 is arranged so as to be hidden in the side visor 27. Here, a gap S is formed between the support pole 31 and the side visor 27. This gap S, as a so-called ventilator, exhibits a ventilation function that can exchange air in the vehicle interior 10i and air outside the vehicle.

According to the vehicle seat door 30 described above, when the support pole 31 is disposed close to the fixed support side of the sheet-like member 41 (on the side panel 20 side), the seat is provided at the opening edge portion 22 of the entrance 21. When the support member 31 is placed away from the fixed support side of the sheet-like member 41 (on the front pillar 16 side), the entrance / exit is opened. The sheet-like member 41 is developed so as to close the opening range of the door 21, and the door is closed. Here, the support pole 31 has a function of urging toward the arrangement position to be changed by a turnover function by its own elasticity. That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, when the support pole 31 is disposed close to the fixed support side of the sheet-like member 41 (on the side panel 20 side), or the support pole 31 is fixed to the fixed support side of the sheet-like member 41. Can be switched to the door open state or the door closed state depending on the position of the support pole 31.
Here, the sheet-like member 41 that is in the door-closed state receives the urging force of the support pole 31 in the direction in which the sheet-like member 41 is spaced from the fixed support side. That is, the sheet-like member 41 that is in the door-closed state is tensioned under the elasticity of the support pole 31. Accordingly, the entire sheet-like member 41 can be uniformly tensioned by the elasticity of the support pole 31 itself. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sheet-like member 41 from being slackened or wrinkled. More specifically, when the door is closed by deploying on the sheet-like member 41, it is possible to eliminate the need to hold the developed sheet-like member 41 with a locking member such as a fastener member. That is, it is possible to prevent flutter when receiving wind during traveling or the like while enhancing the appearance design as the seat-type door 30. Further, in the case where a transparent vinyl window is provided on the sheet-type door 30, the vinyl window can be improved in permeability in order to prevent the vinyl window from being slackened or wrinkled. In addition, the configuration of the support pole 31 and the side visor 27 is set so that a gap S is generated between the support pole 31 and the side visor 27. Accordingly, the gap S can function as a ventilator, can ventilate the air in the vehicle interior 10i, and can prevent the wind glass 18 from being fogged when the door is closed.

Note that the vehicle seat-type door according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be configured by appropriately changing the location.
That is, in the above-described embodiment, an electric vehicle for single passenger is illustrated as the vehicle 10 on which the seat type door 30 is installed.
