Description

  The present invention relates to a rectifying structure for an open / close roof car in which, for example, in an automobile having an openable / closable open / close roof, a deflector for rectifying running wind flowing in the upper part of the vehicle is developed when the open / close roof is opened.

  In an automobile having an openable openable / closable roof at the upper part of a passenger compartment in which an occupant rides, in a so-called open car, when the open / close roof is closed (closed state), traveling wind from the front of the vehicle follows the vehicle body surface to the rear of the vehicle To flow.

  On the other hand, in the state where the open / close roof is open (open state), the traveling wind does not flow stably to the rear of the vehicle due to the opening at the top of the vehicle. The flow changes.

For this reason, in a state where the open / close roof is opened, it is caused by noise (so-called entanglement sound) caused by the traveling wind flowing so as to be caught in the passenger compartment, or by collision between the window frame material supporting the windshield and the traveling wind. Noise (so-called wind noise) may be generated. Thus, the specific noise in the state in which the open / close roof is opened becomes a factor that causes discomfort to the occupant.
Therefore, various techniques for suppressing noise peculiar to a state in which the open / close roof is opened have been proposed.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, in an automobile having an open / close roof that opens and closes by removing a roof portion, an air deflector provided at a front edge of an opening that is closed by the open / close roof is provided above the vehicle when the open / close roof is opened. In addition, an air deflector device has been proposed that includes elevating support means that can move substantially inward in the vehicle width direction. Thereby, patent document 1 is supposed that an air deflector can be raised / lowered with a simple structure, and the peculiar noise in the state which opened the opening-and-closing roof can be suppressed.

  By the way, in the window frame member constituted by a pair of left and right front pillars and a connecting member that connects the upper ends of the front pillars, the joint portion between the front pillar and the connecting member is tertiary from the vehicle width direction toward the vehicle front lower side. It is originally formed in a curved shape. For this reason, when the traveling wind from the front of the vehicle collides with the vicinity of the joint portion, the traveling wind may flow in an unintended direction or unintended turbulence may occur.

  At this time, if the running wind flowing in the vicinity of the joint portion is rectified with a deflector that is long in the vehicle width direction as in Patent Document 1, the running wind that flows outside the vicinity of the joint portion that is the desired rectifying location is also deflected by the deflector. There is a risk of new unintended noise.

  For example, in a vehicle in which a protruding object that protrudes upward from the vehicle, such as a roll bar or a radio antenna that protects the head of the occupant, is rectified by a deflector that is longer in the vehicle width direction than the occupant, There is a possibility that a new problem may occur that noise is generated due to a collision between the traveling wind that flows outside the rectifying point and the protrusion behind the vehicle.

JP 59-124432 A

  In view of the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a rectifying structure for an open / close roof car capable of projecting a deflector over a predetermined range where rectification of traveling wind is desired above a window frame member.

  According to the present invention, an openable / closable roof that covers an upper part of a vehicle in an openable / closable manner, a front frame end of the openable / closable roof abuts, a window frame member that supports a front window glass, and a support that can protrude upward and downward from the window frame member And a rectifying structure for an open / close roof vehicle in which the deflector is raised by the urging means when the open / close roof is opened, the rectifying structure for urging the deflector, and the window frame member A shaft portion that protrudes toward the rear of the vehicle and rotatably supports the vicinity of one end in the vehicle width direction of the deflector, and the open / close roof is opened in the vicinity of the other end of the deflector in the vehicle width direction. And a wind receiving portion facing a predetermined range above the window frame member.

The open / close roof is an open / close roof that can be folded to the rear of the vehicle, or an open / close roof from which the roof portion can be removed, and a soft top made of hood cloth or hood bone, or a hard top made of a metal roof. It can be.
The window frame material may be a frame material made of a steel plate or a frame material in which a trim or garnish is mounted on a frame material made of a steel plate.

When the open / close roof is opened, for example, in the open / close roof stored so as to be folded at the rear of the vehicle, the front end of the open / close roof starts to be separated from the window frame member.
The predetermined range has a predetermined length in the vehicle width direction and is a range where rectification of traveling wind is desired. For example, the predetermined range may be above the vicinity of the outer edge of the window frame member in the vehicle width direction. it can.

According to the present invention, it is possible to project the deflector above the window frame member with respect to a predetermined range where rectification of the traveling wind is desired.
Specifically, since the shaft portion is rotatably supported by the shaft portion, the deflector can rotate upwardly around the shaft centering on the shaft portion by the urging force of the urging means when the opening / closing roof is opened. .

  That is, the deflector can rotate from the retracted position, which is the position of the deflector when the open / close roof is closed, toward the deployed position, which is the position of the deflector when the open / close roof is open.

  For this reason, when the wind-receiving part of a deflector protrudes above a window frame material, it can oppose the predetermined range reliably. Further, since the wind receiving portion protrudes above the window frame member by rotation, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof ensures that only the wind receiving portion is securely within the predetermined range even when the width of the predetermined range is narrow. And can be easily opposed.

  Thereby, for example, when the upper portion of the window frame member near the end on the vehicle width direction outside is a predetermined range and the shaft portion is provided on the vehicle frame direction inner side of the window frame member, the deflector is arranged in the vehicle frame direction of the window frame member. It is possible to rectify the traveling wind that flows above the vicinity of the end portion on the outside.

  Alternatively, when the upper portion of the window frame member substantially faces the occupant is within a predetermined range, and the shaft portion is provided outside the window frame member in the vehicle width direction, the deflector is above the portion of the window frame member substantially facing the occupant. It is possible to rectify the traveling wind flowing through.

In other words, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof car can easily rectify the traveling wind flowing in the space where rectification is desired by the deflector that rotates about the shaft portion as the rotation center.
Therefore, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can project the deflector with respect to a predetermined range above the window frame member, and can reliably rectify the traveling wind.

  As an aspect of the present invention, the front end of the open / close roof is provided with positioning means for aligning the relative position with respect to the upper portion of the window frame member, or engagement means for engaging with the upper portion of the window frame member, and the open / close roof is closed. In the state, a notch portion that is notched in a shape that opens at least on the vehicle lower side can be provided in a portion of the deflector that faces the positioning means or the engagement means.

  The positioning means may be, for example, a positioning member that is inserted into an opening provided in the window frame member, or an opening hole or a recess that allows insertion of the positioning member provided in the window member.

  The engaging means is, for example, a lock mechanism having a lock member that is locked to a striker provided on a window frame member, or a striker that is locked to a lock member of the lock mechanism provided on the window member. Can do.

According to the present invention, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can prevent interference between the positioning means or the engaging means and the deflector.
Specifically, for example, when the shape of the deflector is a substantially band-like shape when viewed from the front in the vehicle width direction, when the open / close roof is closed, the deflector is positioned in front of the positioning means or the engaging means. For this reason, there is a possibility that the opening / closing roof cannot be normally closed due to interference between the positioning means or the engaging means of the opening / closing roof and the deflector.

  Therefore, by providing the notch in the deflector, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle has the deflector interposed between the positioning means or the engaging means and the window frame member even when the open / close roof is closed. There is nothing.

Thereby, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can prevent interference between the positioning means or the engaging means and the deflector when the open / close roof is closed.
Therefore, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can prevent interference between the positioning means or the engaging means and the deflector when the open / close roof is closed by the notch portion of the deflector, and can normally close the open / close roof.

  Further, as an aspect of the present invention, at a position on the rear side of the vehicle at a predetermined interval with respect to the window frame member, substantially opposes the vicinity in the vehicle width direction outside of the upper portion of the window frame member and protrudes upward of the vehicle. Opposing protrusions can be arranged.

  As the above-mentioned opposing projection, for example, in a deck cover that covers an open / close roof stored in the rear part of the vehicle, a protruding part that protrudes above the vehicle and protects the head of the passenger, a roll disposed behind the driver seat It can be a bar, an antenna arranged at the rear of the vehicle, a quarter glass, a center pillar, a driver seat, a passenger seat, or a driver.

According to the present invention, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can further suppress the generation of noise due to the traveling wind flowing toward the rear of the vehicle.
Specifically, when the open / close roof is closed, the traveling wind flows toward the rear of the vehicle along the surface of the vehicle. However, when the open / close roof is open, the traveling wind flows due to the pressure difference between the opening at the top of the vehicle and the vehicle interior. Is not smoothly guided to the rear of the vehicle, and the flow of the traveling wind tends to be disturbed as compared with the case where the open / close roof is closed.

  For this reason, for example, the deck cover disposed at the rear of the vehicle protrudes above the vehicle so as to protect the head of the occupant, and the open / close roof opens in the case of a substantially portal shape substantially opposite to the window frame member. In the state, the traveling wind that has flowed to the rear of the vehicle so as to jump over the opening at the top of the vehicle may collide with the deck cover and generate noise such as wind noise.

  Therefore, when the opening / closing roof is opened, the rectifying structure of the opening / closing roof vehicle can deflect the traveling wind and flow more backward in the vehicle by providing a deflector that protrudes in a predetermined range above the window frame member. .

  As a result, the rectifying structure for the open / close roof vehicle can prevent the traveling wind that flows to the rear of the vehicle beyond the opening at the top of the vehicle from colliding with the opposing protrusion. For this reason, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof car can easily arrange a deck cover, a roll bar, and the like having a shape that protects the occupant at the rear of the vehicle, thereby improving design and safety. it can.

  Therefore, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can further suppress the generation of noise due to the traveling wind flowing to the rear of the vehicle even when the opposed protrusions that are substantially opposed to the window frame member are disposed on the rear of the vehicle. it can.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION By this invention, the rectification | straightening structure of the open / close roof vehicle which can protrude a deflector with respect to the predetermined range where the rectification | straightening of driving | running | working wind is desired above a window frame material can be provided.

  Next, in the deflector device 30 having the above-described configuration, an operation when the deflector 32 moves from the deployment position to the storage position and an operation when the deflector 32 moves from the storage position to the deployment position will be described.

  First, when the open / close roof 20 is opened and the open / close roof 20 is closed by an occupant's operation, the open / close roof 20 unfolds the roof front portion 21 and the roof rear portion 22 that have been folded, while the vehicle interior 8 Move up.

  After that, as shown in FIG. 11, the opening / closing roof 20 is moved from the upper side of the vehicle toward the lower side of the vehicle to the position where the front end of the opening / closing roof 20 faces the window frame member 10 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Then, it comes into contact with the upper end of the deflector 32 and presses the deflector 32 downward in the vehicle.

  At this time, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the deflector 32 starts to rotate downward with respect to the vehicle while resisting the urging force of the torsion spring 33 with the axial direction of the shaft portion 31 as the center of rotation. When the opening / closing roof 20 moves to a position facing the window frame member 10 in the vehicle front-rear direction, the deflector 32 is completely moved to the storage position.

  On the other hand, when the opening / closing roof 20 is opened, the pressure applied by the opening / closing roof 20 is released, so that the deflector 32 is moved upwardly of the vehicle around the shaft 31 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 by the urging force of the torsion spring 33. Start rotating to. Then, when the contact surface 323a of the stopper portion 323 of the deflector 32 contacts the extended bottom portion 126a of the trim extending portion 126 in the rotation direction, the deflector 32 is completely moved to the desired deployment position.

In the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 that realizes the above operation, the deflector 32 can protrude from the rectifying range W in which the rectification of the traveling wind is desired above the window frame member 10.
Specifically, since the shaft portion 31 is rotatably supported by the shaft portion 31, the deflector 32 rotates upward about the shaft portion 31 about the shaft portion 31 by the urging force of the torsion spring 33 when the opening / closing roof 20 is opened. can do.

  That is, the deflector 32 can rotate from the retracted position toward the deployed position. For this reason, the deflector tip 321 of the deflector 32 can reliably face the rectifying range W when protruding above the window frame member 10.

  Further, since the deflector tip 321 protrudes above the window frame member 10 due to the rotation, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 allows only the deflector tip 321 to be in the rectifying range even when the rectifying range W is narrow. It is possible to reliably and easily face W.

Thereby, the deflector 32 can rectify the traveling wind flowing above the vicinity of the end of the window frame member 10 on the outer side in the vehicle width direction. That is, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can easily rectify the traveling wind flowing in the space where rectification is desired by the deflector 32 that rotates about the shaft portion 31 as the rotation center.
Therefore, the rectification structure of the vehicle 1 can project the deflector 32 with respect to the rectification range W above the window frame member 10, and can reliably rectify the traveling wind.

  Further, when the opening / closing roof 20 is closed, a notch portion 321a is provided in the deflector 32 at a portion facing the positioning member 25 in the deflector 32, so that the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 has the positioning member 25, the deflector 32, and the like. Interference can be prevented.

  Specifically, for example, when the shape of the deflector 32 is a substantially belt-like shape when viewed from the front in the vehicle width direction, when the open / close roof 20 is closed, the deflector 32 is positioned in front of the positioning member 25 in the vehicle. For this reason, the positioning member 25 of the open / close roof 20 and the deflector 32 interfere with each other, and the open / close roof 20 may not be normally closed.

  Therefore, by providing the notch portion 321a in the deflector 32, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 allows the deflector 32 to be interposed between the positioning member 25 and the window frame member 10 even when the open / close roof 20 is closed. There is nothing to do.

Thereby, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can prevent interference between the positioning member 25 and the deflector 32 when the open / close roof 20 is closed.
Therefore, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can prevent the positioning member 25 and the deflector 32 from interfering with each other when the opening / closing roof 20 is closed by the notched portion 321a of the deflector 32, and can normally close the opening / closing roof 20.

  Moreover, even when the deck cover 23 having a shape substantially opposite to the window frame member 10 is disposed, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can further suppress the generation of noise due to the traveling wind flowing toward the rear of the vehicle.

  Specifically, when the open / close roof 20 is closed, the traveling wind flows toward the rear of the vehicle along the surface of the vehicle. However, when the open / close roof 20 is open, it is caused by a pressure difference between the opening at the top of the vehicle and the vehicle interior. The traveling wind is not smoothly guided to the rear of the vehicle, and the flow of the traveling wind is likely to be disturbed as compared with the case where the opening / closing roof 20 is closed.

  For this reason, when the substantially portal-shaped deck cover 23 is disposed at the rear of the vehicle, the traveling wind that has flowed toward the rear of the vehicle so as to jump over the opening at the top of the vehicle in the state where the opening / closing roof 20 is opened It may collide with the outer part in the vehicle width direction and generate noise such as wind noise.

  Therefore, when the opening / closing roof 20 is opened, the deflector 32 that protrudes into the rectification range W above the window frame member 10 is provided, so that the rectification structure of the vehicle 1 deflects the traveling wind and further flows backward. be able to.

  Thereby, the rectification | straightening structure of the vehicle 1 can prevent the driving | running | working wind which flows to the vehicle back beyond the opening of a vehicle upper part colliding with the deck cover 23. FIG. For this reason, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can easily dispose a deck cover, a roll bar, or the like having a shape that protects the occupant at the rear of the vehicle, and can improve design and safety. .

  Therefore, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can further suppress the generation of noise due to the traveling wind flowing toward the rear of the vehicle even when the deck cover 23 that is substantially opposite to the window frame member 10 is disposed at the rear of the vehicle. it can.

In the above-described embodiment, the hard top type vehicle 1 configured by the roof front portion 21 and the roof rear portion 22 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the soft top type configured by a hood cloth or a hood bone. The vehicle 1 may be used.
In addition, although the opening / closing roof 20 is stored so as to be folded toward the storage space toward the rear of the vehicle, the opening / closing roof is not limited thereto, and an opening / closing roof in which the roof portion at the top of the vehicle can be removed may be used.

  Further, although the deflector 32 avoids the collision of the traveling wind to the deck cover 23 protruding upward of the vehicle, the present invention is not limited to this, and a roll bar disposed behind the driver seat, an antenna disposed in the vehicle rear portion 7, It is good also as the deflector 32 which avoids a collision with quarter glass, a center pillar, a driver seat, or a driver, and driving | running | working wind. At this time, the cross-sectional shape of the deflector 32 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle may be formed in an appropriate shape according to a desired deflection direction of the traveling wind.

  Further, although the space above the positioning pedestal 142 is the rectification range W, the present invention is not limited to this, and an appropriate range may be used as the rectification range as long as it is above the window frame member 10. For example, it is good also considering the upper part of the part facing the passenger | crew in the window frame material 10 as a rectification | straightening range.

  Further, although the shaft portion 31 is disposed in the vehicle frame direction substantially in the vicinity of the center of the window frame member 10, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shaft portion may be disposed at an appropriate position as long as the deflector tip 321 projects into the rectifying range W. 31 may be provided. For example, the shaft portion 31 is provided in a portion of the window frame member 10 facing the occupant, and the rectification range W that is the space above the vehicle width direction outer side or the vehicle width direction inner side of the window frame material 10 is The deflector 32 may protrude.

  In addition, the positioning members 25 are disposed at both ends of the open / close roof 20 in the vehicle width direction. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, lock receiving portions 141 are disposed at both ends of the window frame member 10 in the vehicle width direction. You may arrange | position a locking mechanism part in the vehicle width direction outer both ends. Even in this case, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can achieve the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment.

In addition, the positioning pedestal 142 is mounted and fixed on the window frame member 10 and the positioning member 25 is mounted and fixed on the opening and closing roof 20, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the positioning member is mounted and fixed on the window frame member 10 to open and close it. A configuration may be adopted in which a positioning pedestal is mounted and fixed on the roof 20.
Further, the torsion spring 33 is used as the urging means for urging the deflector 32. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any suitable urging means may be used as long as the deflector 32 can be raised and lowered.

  Moreover, although the notch part 321a was provided in the deflector front-end | tip part 321, it is not limited to this, You may provide the notch part which the vehicle downward side opened at least according to positions, such as the positioning member 25 of the opening-and-closing roof 20. . For example, when the positioning member 25 is provided at a position facing the deflector intermediate portion 322 in the open / close roof 20 in a state where the deflector 32 is located at the retracted position, the notch portion 321a may be provided in the deflector intermediate portion 322. .

  Further, although the deflector device 30 is arranged in the trim extending portion 126, the configuration is not limited to this, and any configuration may be adopted as long as it is arranged on the window frame member 10. For example, an attachment member configured separately from the header panel 123 may be attached to the header panel 123, and the shaft portion 31, the deflector 32, and the torsion spring 33 may be attached to the attachment member. Or it is good also as a structure which attaches the deflector 32 and the torsion spring 33 to the attachment member which integrally formed the axial part.

  Moreover, although the stopper part 323 was provided in the vehicle width direction inner side in the deflector 32, it is not limited to this, It is good also as an appropriate structure, if the rotation of the deflector 32 can be controlled. For example, it may be formed by bulging from the header trim 125 or the trim extending portion 126 and as a stopper portion that comes into contact with the deflector 32.

  Further, as the shaft portion 31, for example, it has a screw thread in the vicinity of one end and a bolt portion having a head at the other end and a nut screwed into the screw thread, or a flange at one end, The shaft portion is composed of a columnar member having a through hole in the radial direction at the other end and a retaining pin inserted into the through hole.
