Description

  The present invention relates to a window regulator for raising and lowering a window glass of a vehicle door.

  Conventionally, a window regulator that raises and lowers a window glass by a driving force of a motor is used for a vehicle door (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The window regulator described in Patent Document 1 includes a motor that generates a driving force, a drum that is rotationally driven by the driving force of the motor, a drum case that houses the drum, and a wire (cable) that is partially wound around the drum. And a carrier plate (slider base) that is connected to one end of the wire and moves together with the window glass, and a guide rail that guides the carrier plate so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.

  The wire is disposed between the drum and the carrier plate via pulleys provided at the upper and lower ends of the guide rail, and is a hollow outer tube (conduit) in a range disposed between the pulley and the drum. Is housed inside.

  The drum case has a cylindrical wire lead-out portion for leading the wire wound around the drum to the outside. The wire lead-out portion has a substantially cylindrical shape in which one end is slidably accommodated in the wire lead-out portion. The guide member is arranged. In addition, inside the guide member, an accommodation hole for accommodating the end portion of the outer tube and an insertion hole for inserting the wire are formed in communication in the axial direction.

  The guide member is always urged in a direction away from the drum case by a coil spring disposed in a compressed state between the guide member and the drum case. Therefore, for example, when the wire becomes slack due to long-term use, the guide member slides in the direction away from the drum case by the biasing force of the coil spring, and the outer tube is pushed out in the axial direction. Thereby, the slack of a wire is absorbed and appropriate tension | tensile_strength is provided to a wire.

JP-A-9-144424

  By the way, in this kind of window regulator, there is one in which the end portion of the outer tube is covered with a cylindrical end cap, and this end cap is slidably accommodated in the accommodation hole of the guide member. Therefore, when the outer tube is attached to the guide member when the window regulator is assembled, the end cap is caused to enter the accommodation hole of the guide member.

  At this time, for example, when the end cap is inclined with respect to the axial direction of the guide member, a notch or the like is formed on the end cap end surface due to friction between the end cap end surface and the coil spring end portion. Scratches may occur. When a window regulator equipped with an end cap with such a flaw is used, the end of the coil spring is repelled by a flaw on the end face of the end cap due to the expansion and contraction movement and vibration of the coil spring accompanying the operation. An unusual noise sometimes occurred.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a window regulator that can suppress noise generated between a coil spring and an end cap.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is a window regulator that is provided on a vehicle door and moves up and down the window glass of the door, the guide rail being disposed along the moving direction of the window glass, and the guide A carrier plate guided by a rail and moving together with the window glass; a drum which is rotationally driven by an operation of a motor generating a driving force; and the drum via wire guides provided at an upper end and a lower end of the guide rail; A wire that is routed between the carrier plate and partially wound around the drum; a guide portion that guides the wire to the drum; and a housing that holds the drum and the motor; A hollow outer tube covering an outer periphery of the wire disposed between a wire guide and the drum; and An end cap fixed to an end portion on the drum side and slidably disposed on an inner surface of an accommodation hole provided in the guide portion of the housing; and the end cap accommodated in the accommodation hole and the end cap And an urging member that expands and contracts when the window regulator is operated, and suppresses noise generated between the urging member and the end cap accompanying the expansion and contraction movement. Provided is a window regulator provided with an abnormal noise suppressing structure.

  The window regulator according to the present invention can suppress abnormal noise generated between the coil spring and the end cap.

  Next, the configuration of the first guide member 61 and its peripheral part will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. The first guide member 61 and the second guide member 62 are different in arrangement in the window regulator 100, Since the configuration is the same, only the first guide member 61 and its periphery will be described in FIGS. 2 to 4.

  2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the outer appearance of the end face of the first end cap 71 and the spacer 8, and FIG. 4 (a) is the first end cap. FIG. 71 is an exploded view of 71 and other members, and (b) is an assembly view of the first end cap 71 and other members. In FIG. 4, the first guide member 61 is not shown for convenience of explanation.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the first guide member 61 has a first cylindrical portion 610 formed in a cylindrical shape and a diameter smaller than that of the first cylindrical portion 610, and the drum 31 in the axial direction of the first cylindrical portion 610. A second cylindrical portion 611 extending in the axial direction from the end face on the side (shown in FIG. 1) is integrally provided.

  Inside the first guide member 61, a bottomed housing hole 61a for slidably housing the first end cap 71 and a guide hole 61b for guiding the first wire 5a inserted through the housing hole 61a to the outside. And a communication hole 61c formed through the bottom 612 of the accommodation hole 61a in the axial direction and communicating with the accommodation hole 61a and the guide hole 61b.

  The guide hole 61b is formed so that the inner diameter gradually increases as it goes downward (in the direction approaching the drum 31 in FIG. 1). Thereby, the first wire 5a can be guided to the drum 31 side corresponding to the positional deviation of the first wire 5a generated as the first wire 5a is wound around the drum 31.

  The receiving hole 61a includes an end 51a of the first outer tube 51, a first end cap 71 that covers the end 51a, a spacer 8 as an intermediate member that contacts the end surface of the first end cap 71, and a spacer 8; A receiving member 74 disposed at a position facing the axial direction and supported by the bottom portion 612 and a coil spring 73 serving as an urging member disposed between the spacer 8 and the receiving member 74 are accommodated.

  An end portion 51 a of the first outer tube 51 is covered with a bottomed cylindrical first end cap 71, and the first end cap 71 is slidably disposed in the accommodation hole 61 a of the first guide member 61. Yes. The first end cap 71 is fixed to the first outer tube 51 by, for example, crimping from the outer peripheral side thereof.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the first end cap 71 is a cylindrical member having an insertion hole 71 a through which the first wire 5 a is inserted at the center thereof. Further, the front end surface 710 of the first end cap 71 is a disk-shaped flat surface that is in axial contact with an axial end surface (second contact surface 81b described later) of the spacer 8 that faces the first end cap 71 side. 710a and an inclined surface 710b inclined with respect to the axial direction are formed.

  The spacer 8 is a member made of, for example, synthetic resin, and has an insertion hole 8a through which the first wire 5a is inserted, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4A. The spacer 8 integrally includes a small diameter portion 80 and a large diameter portion 81 having different outer diameters, and the large diameter portion 81 is formed closer to the first end cap 71 in the axial direction than the small diameter portion 80.

  The large-diameter portion 81 is formed as a first contact surface 81a in which the end surface on the receiving member 74 side in the axial direction is in contact with the end portion 73a of the coil spring 73, and the shaft on the opposite side of the first contact surface 81a A direction end surface is formed as a second contact surface 81 b that contacts the flat surface 710 a of the first end cap 71.

  The outer diameter of the small diameter portion 80 is smaller than the inner diameter of the coil spring 73. With this dimensional configuration, the small-diameter portion 80 is disposed in the coil spring 73 in the assembled state, as shown in FIG.

  The outer diameter of the large diameter portion 81 is formed smaller than the inner diameter of the accommodation hole 61a, and is formed larger than or equal to the outer diameter of the coil spring 73. With this dimensional configuration, the large-diameter portion 81 can slide in the accommodation hole 61a by receiving the urging force of the coil spring 73 at the first contact surface 81a.

  The coil spring 73 has an end 73 b opposite to the spacer 8 in contact with the receiving surface 74 a of the receiving member 74 and the other end in contact with the first contact surface 81 a of the spacer 8, and is compressed in the axial direction. . As a result, the first end cap 71 is always urged in the direction away from the drum 31 (shown in FIG. 1) via the spacer 8.

  Since the drum 31 rotates in the forward direction when the carrier plate 2 is raised, the first wire 5a wound around the drum 31 is pivoted in the accommodation hole 61a of the first guide member 61 as shown in FIG. It moves downward (in the direction of arrow A shown in FIG. 2) along the direction. When the carrier plate 2 moves to the uppermost end (top dead center) of the guide rail 1, the window glass 90 is fully closed. At this time, the wiring path between the first wire guide 11 and the first guide member 61 is shortened by the tension applied to the first wire 5 a, so that the first end cap 71 and the spacer 8 are connected to the coil spring 73. It moves in the direction (arrow A direction) approaching the drum 31 against the urging force. As a result, the coil spring 73 is compressed in the axial direction.

  On the other hand, since the drum 31 rotates in the reverse direction when the carrier plate 2 is lowered, the wire 5 fed to the drum 31 moves upward in the housing hole 61a of the first guide member 61 along the axial direction (see FIG. 2). Move in the direction indicated by arrow B). And if the carrier plate 2 moves to the lowest end (bottom dead center) of the guide rail 1, the window glass 90 will be in a full open state. At this time, the routing route between the first wire guide 11 and the first guide member 61 becomes longer, and the first wire 5a becomes slack. As a result, the coil spring 73 urges the first end cap 71 and the spacer 8 in the direction away from the drum 31 (arrow B direction) to extend in the axial direction, and the slack of the first wire 5a is removed. The

  Therefore, when the operation of the carrier plate 2 changes from ascending to descending or from descending to ascending, the coil spring 73 expands and contracts in the accommodation hole 61a of the first guide member 61 according to the principle described above. The window regulator 100 according to the present embodiment is provided with an abnormal noise suppressing structure that suppresses abnormal noise generated between the coil spring 73 and the first end cap 71 due to the expansion and contraction motion. Here, the abnormal noise is, for example, a sound generated by rubbing a scratch generated during assembly work on the end face of the first end cap 71 and the end 73a of the coil spring 73.

  This noise suppression structure is a structure in which the spacer 8 is disposed between the coil spring 73 and the first end cap 71. Specifically, the spacer 8 is interposed between the coil spring 73 and the first end cap 71 to prevent the coil spring 73 and the first end cap 71 from contacting each other. Thereby, the abnormal noise which generate | occur | produces between the coil spring 73 and the 1st end cap 71 is suppressed.

  According to the first embodiment described above, since the spacer 8 is interposed between the coil spring 73 and the first end cap 71, contact between the coil spring 73 and the first end cap 71 is prevented. Thus, abnormal noise generated between the coil spring 73 and the first end cap 71 can be suppressed.
