  The present invention relates to a sunroof device that opens and closes a shade in conjunction with opening and closing operations of a movable panel.

  Conventionally, as such a sunroof device, for example, the one described in Patent Document 1 is known. This sunroof device includes an interlocking mechanism that mechanically interlocks with opening and closing of a movable panel (roof panel) to open and close a shade panel.

JP 2011-5960 A

  By the way, in Patent Document 1, for example, the shade panel is opened and closed manually by a fully closed state of the movable panel. That is, in the case of opening and closing only the shade panel, it cannot be operated electrically, and the user needs to perform a manual operation. On the other hand, it is conceivable that the movable panel and the shade panel are electrically operated independently of each other, but in this case, two electric drive sources (for example, motors) are used.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a sunroof device capable of opening and closing a shade independently with one electric drive source.

  A sunroof device that solves the above problems includes a guide rail that is provided at each of both edges in the vehicle width direction of an opening formed in a roof of the vehicle, and the opening that moves in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and moves to the opening. A movable panel that opens and closes, a shade that moves in the front-rear direction of the vehicle below the movable panel to open and close the opening, and an electric drive source that is movable in the front-rear direction of the vehicle along the guide rail. A driving shoe that is driven to move by the vehicle, a panel operating shoe that is connected to each of both ends of the movable panel in the width direction of the vehicle, and is movable along the guide rail in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, A shade operating shoe connected to each of both ends of the vehicle in the width direction and provided movably in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle along the guide rail; the drive shoe; A first engagement / disengagement switching mechanism for engaging / disengaging the channel operating shoe, and a second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism for engaging / disengaging the drive shoe and the shade operating shoe. The panel operating shoe, the driving shoe, and the shade operating shoe are arranged in this order, and the first engagement / disengagement switching mechanism is configured such that the driving shoe moves from the initial position to the front of the vehicle with respect to the movable panel in the fully closed state. The drive shoe and the panel actuating shoe are engaged with each other by moving rearward following the movement of the vehicle so that the movable panel can be moved rearward of the vehicle, and the first engagement / disengagement switching mechanism is in the open state. When the drive shoe moves forward of the vehicle with respect to the movable panel, the drive shoe and the panel operating shoe are engaged to allow the movable panel to move forward of the vehicle, and the fully closed state is achieved. Said drive shoe against serial movable panel to disengage the engagement by moving the rearward of the vehicle to the initial position.

  According to this configuration, when the driving shoe moves backward from the initial position to the front of the vehicle with respect to the movable panel in the fully closed state, the first engagement / disengagement switching mechanism is driven by the drive. The shoe and the panel operating shoe are engaged. Accordingly, when the drive shoe moves to the rear of the vehicle in this state, the panel operating shoe moves integrally to the rear of the vehicle and the movable panel opens. At this time, if the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism engages the drive shoe and the shade operation shoe, the shade moves integrally with the rear of the vehicle and the shade is opened. When the drive shoe moves forward of the vehicle with the movable panel (and shade) being opened, the panel operating shoe moves integrally to the front of the vehicle and the movable panel is closed. . At the same time, when the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism engages the drive shoe and the shade operating shoe, the shade moves integrally with the front of the vehicle and the shade is closed.

  When the drive shoe moves toward the initial position with respect to the movable panel that is in the fully closed state by moving the drive shoe forward of the vehicle, the first engagement / disengagement switching mechanism is driven by the drive The shoe and the panel operating shoe are disengaged from each other. Therefore, the drive shoe returns to the initial position while leaving the movable panel in the fully closed state.

As described above, the shade can be opened and closed in conjunction with the opening and closing operation of the movable panel by one electric drive source.
On the other hand, when the drive shoe moves directly from the initial position to the rear of the vehicle with respect to the movable panel in the fully closed state, the drive shoe and the panel operating shoe remain in the disengaged state. Thus, when the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism engages the drive shoe and the shade operation shoe, only the shade moves integrally to the rear of the vehicle and the shade opens. In addition, when the drive shoe moves forward of the vehicle in the open state of the shade accompanying this, if the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism engages the drive shoe and the shade operating shoe, only the shade is obtained. Move in front of the vehicle and the shade is closed.

As described above, the shade can be opened and closed independently by one electric drive source.
In the sunroof device, the first engagement / disengagement switching mechanism includes an engagement protrusion provided on the drive shoe, a check block provided with an engagement recess and provided on the guide rail, the guide rail, A guide member provided on the check block, an engagement groove and an insertion recess are formed, and are rotatably connected to the panel operating shoe around an axis extending in the width direction of the vehicle, and are fitted into the engagement recess. Energized in the moving direction and energized in the width direction of the vehicle away from the engaging projection within a moving range restricted by the guide member, and is fitted into the engaging recess in the fully closed state of the movable panel. When the driving shoe moves from the initial position to the front of the vehicle with respect to the movable panel in the fully closed state, the engagement is restricted. When the engagement groove is pressed against the protrusion, the movement guide of the panel operating shoe is released so as to be released from the engagement recess, and subsequently, the drive shoe is released to the rear of the vehicle. The engagement protrusion is inserted into the insertion recess while being guided in the width direction of the vehicle approaching the engagement protrusion by the guide member while the engagement groove is pressed by the engagement protrusion when moving. As a result, the vehicle moves together with the drive shoe together with the panel operating shoe, and moves away from the engaging protrusion by the guide member as the drive shoe moves forward relative to the movable panel in the open state. The engagement protrusion is removed from the insertion recess while being guided in the width direction of the vehicle, and the engagement groove is pressed against the engagement protrusion as the drive shoe further moves forward of the vehicle. The movable panel While moving to the front of the vehicle while being in the fully closed state, the drive shoe is moved to the initial position with respect to the movable panel that is in the fully closed state so as to fit into the engagement recess. A rotation check in which the engagement groove is removed from the engagement protrusion.

  According to this configuration, the rotation check is performed when the engagement groove is formed in the engagement protrusion when the drive shoe moves forward from the initial position with respect to the movable panel in the fully closed state. By being pressed, it is guided to rotate so as to be disengaged from the engaging recess, and the movement restriction of the panel operating shoe is released. Then, in the rotation check, when the driving shoe moves rearward of the vehicle, the engagement groove is pressed against the engagement protrusion, and the vehicle approaches the engagement protrusion by the guide member. The engaging projections are inserted into the insertion recesses while being guided in the width direction, and move together with the drive shoe together with the panel operating shoe. Therefore, when the drive shoe moves to the rear of the vehicle in this state, the panel operating shoe moves together with the rotation check to the rear of the vehicle to open the movable panel. In addition, when the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism engages the drive shoe and the shade operation shoe, the shade moves integrally to the rear of the vehicle and the shade opens. In addition, when the drive shoe moves forward of the vehicle with the movable panel (and shade) open, the panel operation shoe moves together with the rotation check to the front of the vehicle. Is closed. In addition, when the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism engages the drive shoe and the shade actuation shoe, the shade moves integrally with the front of the vehicle and the shade is closed.

  In particular, the drive shoe and the rotation check are guided and held by the guide member in a state of approaching the width direction of the vehicle when the engagement protrusion is inserted into the insertion recess. Therefore, it is possible to suppress displacement of the drive shoe and the rotation check in the width direction of the vehicle, and in turn suppress rattling in the vehicle width direction of the movable panel that supports the rotation check via the panel operating shoe. it can.

  Further, the rotation check is performed while the engagement protrusion is guided in the width direction of the vehicle away from the engagement protrusion by the guide member as the drive shoe moves forward of the vehicle with respect to the movable panel in the open state. The vehicle is disengaged from the insertion recess, and the engagement groove is pressed against the engagement protrusion as the drive shoe further moves forward of the vehicle, thereby bringing the movable panel into the fully closed state. Move forward. The rotation check is performed so that the engagement groove is inserted into the engagement recess while the drive shoe moves toward the initial position with respect to the movable panel that is in the fully closed state, and the engagement groove is inserted into the engagement recess. It is removed from the engaging protrusion. Therefore, the drive shoe returns to the initial position while leaving the movable panel in the fully closed state.

  On the other hand, the rotation check restricts the movement of the panel operating shoe in a fully closed state of the movable panel in a state where the movable panel is fitted into the engagement recess. Therefore, when the drive shoe moves directly from the initial position to the rear of the vehicle with respect to the movable panel in the fully closed state, the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism engages the drive shoe and the shade operating shoe. In this case, only the shade moves as a unit to the rear of the vehicle, and the shade is opened. In addition, when the drive shoe moves forward of the vehicle in the open state of the shade accompanying this, if the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism engages the drive shoe and the shade operating shoe, only the shade is obtained. Move in front of the vehicle and the shade is closed.

  In the sunroof device, the second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism includes a second engagement protrusion provided on the drive shoe and a bottom wall provided on the guide rail with a second engagement recess. A second engagement groove is formed, is rotatably connected to the shade operating shoe, is urged in a rotation direction to be fitted into the second engagement recess, and the shade is in the fully closed state. And the movement of the shade operating shoe is restricted by being fitted in the second engagement recess, and the drive shoe is moved from the initial position to the shade in the fully closed state. When the second engaging protrusion is pressed against the second engaging projection when moving backward, the second engaging groove is pivotally guided so as to be disengaged from the second engaging recess, and the shade operating shoe moves. The restriction is released and the shade operation It is preferable to provide a second rotation check that moves integrally with the drive shoe with over.

  According to this configuration, the second rotation check is performed when the drive shoe moves from the initial position (or after the initial position) to the rear of the vehicle with respect to the shade in the fully closed state. The second engaging groove is pressed by the engaging projection of the second member, and is pivotally guided so as to be disengaged from the second engaging recess to release the movement restriction of the shade operating shoe and for the shade operating. It moves together with the drive shoe together with the shoe. Therefore, when the drive shoe moves to the rear of the vehicle in this state, the shade operation shoe moves integrally to the rear of the vehicle together with the second rotation check to open the shade. In addition, when the drive shoe moves forward of the vehicle in the open state of the shade, the shade operation shoe integrally moves forward of the vehicle together with the second rotation check, and the shade is closed. To do. When the drive shoe moves forward of the vehicle and the shade is in the fully closed state, the second rotation check is fitted into the second engagement recess, and the second engagement groove is 2 is removed from the engaging protrusion. Thus, the drive shoe moves to the front of the vehicle to the initial position while leaving the shade in the fully closed state. Therefore, the drive shoe moves from the initial position to the front of the vehicle with respect to the movable panel in the fully closed state so that the drive shoe and the panel operation shoe are engaged by the first engagement / disengagement switching mechanism. In doing so, the shade remains stationary. For this reason, for example, it is not necessary to secure a space for moving the shade in the fully closed state together with the drive shoe to the front of the vehicle, and the space can be further reduced.

  The present invention has an effect that the shade can be opened and closed independently by one electric drive source.

The check member 70 forms a second engagement / disengagement switching mechanism M2 together with the second engagement protrusion 45 and the bottom wall portion 14a in which the engagement hole 14i is formed. Hereinafter, the rotation position of the check member 70 when the movement of the shade actuation shoe 30 is restricted is also referred to as a “regulation position”.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the restricting portion 73 of the check member 70 that is rotationally biased by the coil spring SP2 is released from the engagement hole 14i of the guide rail 14 and contacts the bottom wall portion 14a, the check member 70 The movement restriction 30 in the front-rear direction with respect to the guide rail 14 together with the shade panel 13 is released in the shade operating shoe 30 connected to the. Hereinafter, the rotation position of the check member 70 when the movement restriction of the shade operating shoe 30 is released is also referred to as a “release position”.

  Here, it is assumed that both the movable panel 12 and the shade panel 13 are in a fully closed state. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the rotation check 60 that is urged to rotate by the coil spring SP <b> 1 is a restriction position in which the head 62 is inserted into the engagement recess 51 a of the check block 50. The movement of the panel operating shoe 20 connected to the rotation check 60 with respect to the guide rail 14 along with the movable panel 12 is restricted. Similarly, the check member 70 that is rotationally biased by the coil spring SP <b> 2 is in a restricting position where the restricting portion 73 is fitted into the engagement hole 14 i of the guide rail 14, and the shade operating shoe connected to the check member 70. 30 is restricted from moving back and forth with respect to the guide rail 14 together with the shade panel 13.

  On the other hand, the drive shoe 40 is disposed at an initial position sandwiched between the panel actuation shoe 20 and the shade actuation shoe 30 in the front-rear direction. That is, the drive shoe 40 is in a state where the engagement with the panel actuation shoe 20 and the shade actuation shoe 30 are both disengaged. And the 1st groove part 63a of the rotation check 60 is opened to the back facing the movement locus | trajectory of the front-back direction along the guide rail 14 of the 1st engagement protrusion 43, The regulation groove | channel 72 of the check member 70 is The second engaging protrusion 45 is opened forward facing the forward and backward movement trajectory along the guide rail 14.

  In this state, when the drive shoe 40 moves along the guide rail 14 to the front of the vehicle, the first engagement protrusion 43 enters the first groove 63a of the engagement groove 63 as shown in FIG. Then, it contacts the front end (the upper end of the second groove 63b).

  In this state, when the drive shoe 40 further moves forward of the vehicle along the guide rail 14, the rotation check 60 in which the engagement groove 63 is pressed by the first engagement protrusion 43 is inclined by the second groove 63b. 4 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 4 against the urging force of the coil spring SP1 by the pressing force of the first engaging protrusion 43 received in step S2. Thereby, the head 62 of the rotation check 60 is disengaged from the engagement recess 51a of the check block 50, and the vehicle can move forward together with the first engagement protrusion 43 (drive shoe 40).

  When the drive shoe 40 further moves forward of the vehicle, the engagement groove 63 (second groove portion 63b) is pressed by the first engagement protrusion 43 as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). The rotation check 60 moves together with the panel actuation shoe 20 to the front of the vehicle. At this time, the head 62 of the rotation check 60 that has passed over the engaging recess 51 a is urged by the coil spring SP <b> 1 and is in contact with the bottom wall 51, and the first engaging protrusion in the engaging groove 63. 43 contacts the lower end of the second groove 63b (the front end of the third groove 63c). As the driving shoe 40 moves forward of the vehicle at this time, the movable panel 12 moves forward of the vehicle together with the rotation check 60 and the panel operating shoe 20. However, since the amount of movement of the drive shoe 40 forward of the vehicle is small, the movable panel 12 remains substantially fully closed.

  After the driving shoe 40 stops, when the driving shoe 40 reverses and moves rearward of the vehicle, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the first engaging projection 43 has the third groove 63c. It abuts against its rear end while running idle. At this time, the rotation check 60 is restricted from moving in the vehicle height direction, that is, turning around the support pin 61 by the first engagement protrusion 43 being received in the third groove 63c. During the period in which the first engagement protrusion 43 runs idle in the third groove 63c, the drive shoe 40 moves to the rear of the vehicle while leaving the rotation check 60 and the like.

  In this state, when the drive shoe 40 further moves rearward of the vehicle along the guide rail 14, as shown in FIG. 7, the rotation restricted by the first engagement protrusion 43 that fits in the third groove 63c. The check 60 is pressed by the first engagement protrusion 43. For this reason, the rotation check 60 passes through the head 62 without fitting into the engagement recess 51a, and moves to the rear of the vehicle together with the panel operating shoe 20. Then, the movable panel 12 that moves to the rear of the vehicle together with the panel operating shoe 20 starts to open.

  In this state, when the drive shoe 40 further moves to the rear of the vehicle along the guide rail 14, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, a rotation check that is pressed by the first engagement protrusion 43. 60 passes the check block 50 and reaches the guide rail 14 (bottom wall portion 14a) behind the vehicle.

  In addition, the rotation check 60 is guided to the inclined rear end portion of the block-side regulating wall portion 52 when passing through the check block 50, thereby resisting the biasing force of the coil spring SP1. (And drive shoe 40) moves in the width direction of the vehicle. In addition, the rotation check 60 that has passed through the check block 50 is brought into contact with the regulation wall portion 14g of the guide rail 14 so that the position in the vehicle width direction approaching the panel operating shoe 20 (and the drive shoe 40) is maintained. . At this time, the first engagement protrusion 43 positioned at the rear end (insertion recess 64) of the third groove 63c is inserted into the insertion recess 64 as the rotation check 60 moves in the vehicle width direction. As a result, the rotation check 60 is also restricted from moving in the front-rear direction with respect to the drive shoe 40.

  That is, when the rotation check 60 together with the drive shoe 40 is located behind the check block 50, the rotation check 60 (and the panel operation shoe 20) are integrated in the front-rear direction as the drive shoe 40 moves in the front-rear direction. Move to. Accordingly, the movable panel 12 moves in the direction along with the movement of the drive shoe 40 toward the rear of the vehicle, that is, opens, and shifts to the fully open state. On the other hand, the movable panel 12 moves in that direction as the drive shoe 40 moves forward of the vehicle, that is, closes.

  It is assumed that the rotation check 60 moves together with the drive shoe 40 along the guide rail 14 to the front of the vehicle and reaches the check block 50 when the movable panel 12 is fully opened. At this time, the rotation check 60 urged in the vehicle width direction by the coil spring SP1 is in the vehicle width direction away from the panel actuation shoe 20 (and the drive shoe 40) within a range regulated by the block side regulating wall 52. Move to. At this time, the first engaging protrusion 43 inserted into the insertion recess 64 is detached from the insertion recess 64 as the rotation check 60 moves in the width direction of the vehicle. Thereby, the first engagement protrusion 43 (drive shoe 40) can move forward with respect to the rotation check 60. At the same time, the head 62 of the rotation check 60 is disposed on the engagement recess 51 a of the check block 50. However, at this stage, the first engagement protrusion 43 is located at the rear end of the third groove 63c, and the rotation check 60 moves in the height direction of the vehicle in the above-described manner, that is, the support pin. The rotation around 61 remains restricted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, in this state, when the drive shoe 40 further moves forward of the vehicle, the first engaging projection 43 runs idle in the third groove 63c and its front end (the lower end of the second groove 63b). ). Even at this stage, the rotation check 60 is still restricted from rotating around the support pin 61 because the first engagement protrusion 43 is positioned at the lower end of the inclined second groove 63b.

  After the drive shoe 40 stops, when the drive shoe 40 reverses and moves rearward of the vehicle, as shown in FIG. 10, the rotation check 60 urged by the coil spring SP1 is rotated along the second groove 63b. Then, the first engaging protrusion 43 is removed and the supporting pin 61 is rotated clockwise in the figure to fit the head 62 into the engaging recess 51 a of the check block 50. Accordingly, the rotation check 60 is restricted from moving in the front-rear direction with respect to the guide rail 14 together with the panel operation shoe 20 (and the movable panel 12). Then, the movable panel 12 shifts (returns) to the fully closed state. At the same time, the first groove 63 a of the rotation check 60 opens the rear of the vehicle along the guide rail 14 of the first engagement protrusion 43.

  In this state, when the drive shoe 40 further moves to the rear of the vehicle along the guide rail 14, the drive shoe 40 moves away from the rotation check 60 and moves to the movable panel 12 that is restricted from moving back and forth by the rotation check 60. In contrast, the vehicle moves backward. And the drive shoe 40 stops with the return to the above-mentioned initial position.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when both the movable panel 12 and the shade panel 13 are fully closed, the drive shoe 40 moves from the initial position along the guide rail 14 to the rear of the vehicle. Then, the second engagement protrusion 45 reaches the restriction groove 72 of the check member 70 at the restriction position. When the drive shoe 40 further moves rearward of the vehicle along the guide rail 14, as shown in FIG. 11, the check member 70 pressed by the restriction groove 72 against the second engagement protrusion 45 is With the pressing force of the second engaging projection 45 received at the inclination of 72, the coil spring SP2 rotates counterclockwise against the urging force of the coil spring SP2. As a result, the restriction member 73 of the check member 70 is disengaged from the engagement hole 14i of the guide rail 14, and the check member 70 can be moved rearward of the vehicle together with the second engagement protrusion 45 (drive shoe 40). At the same time, the second engagement protrusion 45 reaches the rear lower end of the restriction groove 72.

  Then, when the drive shoe 40 further moves rearward of the vehicle along the guide rail 14, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 11, the check member 70 in which the restriction groove 72 is pressed by the second engagement protrusion 45. As a result, the restricting portion 73 passes through the engagement hole 14i. At this time, the check member 70 that is rotationally biased by the coil spring SP2 is rotationally restricted by the restriction portion 73 coming into contact with the bottom wall portion 14a. Accordingly, the check member 70 that arranges the second engagement protrusion 45 at the rear lower end of the restriction groove 72 is restricted from moving in the height direction and the front-rear direction of the vehicle relative to the drive shoe 40.

  In this state, when the drive shoe 40 further moves to the rear of the vehicle along the guide rail 14, the check member 70 is pressed by the second engagement protrusion 45, thereby being integrated with the shade operating shoe 30. Move to the rear of the vehicle. In other words, when the check member 70 is positioned behind the engagement hole 14i together with the drive shoe 40, the check member 70 (and the shade operating shoe 30) are integrated back and forth as the drive shoe 40 moves in the front-rear direction. Move in the direction. Thereby, the shade panel 13 moves in the direction along with the movement of the drive shoe 40 toward the rear of the vehicle, that is, opens, and shifts to the fully open state. On the contrary, the shade panel 13 moves in the direction, that is, closes as the drive shoe 40 moves forward of the vehicle.

  When the check member 70 moves together with the drive shoe 40 along the guide rail 14 to the front of the vehicle in the fully opened state of the shade panel 13 and the restricting portion 73 reaches the engagement hole 14i, the coil spring SP2 urges the rotation. The check member 70 is inserted into the engagement hole 14 i while removing the second engagement protrusion 45 from the restriction groove 72. Accordingly, the movement of the check member 70 toward the front of the vehicle is stopped together with the shade actuation shoe 30, and the shade panel 13 is shifted (returned) to the fully closed state.

  In this state, when the drive shoe 40 further moves forward of the vehicle along the guide rail 14, the drive shoe 40 is moved away from the check member 70 to the shade panel 13 whose movement in the front-rear direction is restricted by the check member 70. In contrast, the vehicle moves forward. And the drive shoe 40 stops with the return to the above-mentioned initial position.

The opening / closing operation of the shade panel 13 is the same when the drive shoe 40 that moves in the front-rear direction to open / close the movable panel 12 passes through the initial position.
Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described.
