Description

The present invention relates to an object moving device.

A window regulator that raises and lowers the window glass is used to open and close the window of the vehicle (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
The wind regulator shown in Patent Document 1 includes a set of carrier plates, a set of guide rails, a cable, a direction changing member, and a drive source. By winding and unwinding the cable by the driving force of the drive source, a set of carrier plates move through the cable, and the window fixed to the carrier plate moves up and down.

JP-A-2018-71235

However, in the conventional configuration, since the drive source is fixed to the guide rail, it is difficult to adjust the positions of the guide rail and the drive source when the wind regulator is attached to the vehicle body.

An object of the present invention is to provide an object moving device that can easily adjust the mounting position.

Hereinafter, a plurality of aspects will be described as means for solving the problem. These aspects can be arbitrarily combined as needed.
The seemingly object moving device of the present invention includes a moving member, a guide member, a cable, a driving unit, and a holding structure. The moving member is attached to the moving object. The guide member guides the moving member. The cable is connected to the moving member. A cable is connected to the drive unit, and the cable is wound and unwound. The holding structure holds the drive unit on the guide member. The holding structure holds the drive unit in a state in which the relative movement of the drive unit with respect to the guide member is possible within a predetermined range along the thickness direction of the guide member.

In this way, the drive unit is temporarily fixed to the guide member so as to be relatively movable with respect to the guide member within a predetermined range along the thickness direction of the guide member. As a result, the position of the guide member can be adjusted in the thickness direction even when the drive unit is fixed, so that the mounting position can be easily adjusted.

For example, when an object moving device is attached to a vehicle body for use in raising and lowering a window of a vehicle, the guide member can be moved in the thickness direction of the vehicle body with the drive unit fixed to the vehicle body. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the position of the window attached to the moving member to a position where the seal with the weather strip is sufficiently secured.
As described above, the mounting position can be easily adjusted.

Further, the holding structure may restrict the movement of the drive unit in the width direction in a state where the drive unit can move relative to the guide member within a predetermined range in the direction along the guide member.
As a result, the position in the width direction of the relative positions of the drive unit with respect to the guide member is generally fixed, but the position along the guide member can be adjusted within a predetermined range. Therefore, the position can be adjusted more easily.

Further, two moving members may be provided so as to be separated from each other. Two guide members may be provided so as to be separated from each other so that their relative positions can be changed. The drive unit may be held by one of the two guide members by a holding structure.
As a result, the object moving device can be applied as a wind regulator for a sashless vehicle.

Further, a holding member to which the drive unit is attached may be fixed to the guide member. The holding member may have a holding member-side holding element that constitutes one of the holding structures, and the driving unit may have a driving unit-side holding element that constitutes the other of the holding structures. Through holes may be provided in either the holding element side holding element or the driving unit side holding element. An insertion portion to be inserted into the through hole may be provided on either one of the holding member side holding element and the driving portion side holding element. The insertion portion may have a locking portion that can be inserted into a through hole provided at the tip portion and an intermediate portion provided at the rear end side of the tip portion. By engaging the locking portion with the edge portion of the through hole, it may be possible to prevent the holding member side holding element and the driving portion side holding element from being separated from each other. The drive unit may be temporarily held in a state where it can move relative to the holding member by sliding the intermediate portion and the through hole.
As a result, the drive unit can be temporarily fixed to the guide member simply by inserting the locking portion into the through hole, so that the drive unit can be easily held by the guide member. Further, since the drive unit can move relative to the holding member by sliding the intermediate portion and the through hole, it is possible to easily adjust the positions of the drive unit and the guide member.

Further, a plurality of insertion portions may be provided, and the direction in which the insertion portion of one of the insertion portions slides with the edge of the through hole and the insertion portion of the other one of the insertion portions are the edges of the through hole. The relative movement of the drive unit with respect to the guide member may be suppressed by the direction of sliding with the unit.
As a result, the relative movement of the drive unit with respect to the guide member in the width direction is suppressed, so that the relative position in the width direction can be fixed when the object moving device is attached to a vehicle or the like.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an object moving device that can easily adjust the mounting position.

In the object moving device 10'of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, since the distance between the guide members 30 is narrow, the drive unit 60 is fixed below the guide member 30. An example of the object moving device 10'of the second embodiment is a window regulator, which can be used for a rear window because of its narrow width. On the other hand, the object moving device 10 of the first embodiment can be used for the front window because the distance between the guide members 30 is wide.
In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof will be omitted.

In the object moving device 10'of the second embodiment, the position and structure of the holding structure 70' are different from those of the first embodiment.
The holding structure 70'holds the drive unit 60'on the guide member 30. The holding structure 70'is provided on the support member 52 (52d') and the drive unit 60'. The holding structure 70'has a driving unit side holding element 71'and a holding member side holding element 72'. The drive unit side holding element 71'is provided in the drive unit 60'. The drive unit 60'is formed substantially symmetrically with the drive unit 60. Like the drive unit 60, the drive unit 60'has a motor housing 61, a first insertion unit 62, a second insertion unit 63, a first member 64, and a second member 65. In the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the drive unit 60'is held by the guide member 30b, so that the cable 40 is arranged differently from the first embodiment.

The drive unit side holding element 71'is provided in the drive unit 60'. The drive unit side holding element 71'has two insertion portions 82 similar to those in the first embodiment.
The holding member side holding element 72'is provided on the support member 52d'. The support member 52d'is provided on the direction changing portion 50'(50d'). FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the support member 52d'. Unlike the support member 52d of the first embodiment, the support member 52d ′ extends downward from the lower part of the guide member 30b along the direction G along the guide member 30b, as shown in FIG. The support member 52d ′ has a mounting portion 101, a shaft hole 103, and a holding portion 102. The mounting portion 101 is mounted on the lower part of the guide member 30b. The shaft hole 103 is arranged inside between the guide members 30 of the mounting portion 101, and the rotation shaft of the direction changing member 51a is inserted to rotatably support the direction changing member 51a. The holding portion 102 is a lower portion of the support member 52d ′ and a portion protruding inward between the guide members 30.

The holding member side holding element 72'has two through holes 81' formed in the holding portion 102 of the support member 52d'. The two through holes 81'are formed in an elongated shape along the length direction G of the guide member 30, and are parallel to each other. The width of the through hole 81'is substantially the same as the diameter of the insertion portion 82. In the present embodiment, the two through holes 81'are not arranged in a straight line along the length direction G but are arranged in a staggered manner, but they may be arranged in a straight line. ..

FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of the V portion of FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the two insertion portions 82 are inserted into the two through holes 81', respectively. By locking the locking portion 91 of the insertion portion 82 to the edge portion 81a'of the through hole 81', the insertion portion 82 is prevented from coming off from the through hole 81'.
By inserting the insertion portion 82 into each of the two through holes 81'in this way, the movement of the drive portion 60'with respect to the guide member 30 along the width direction of the guide member 30 is restricted.
Further, since the through hole 81'is formed so that the length of the guide member 30 in the length direction G is longer than that of the insertion portion 82, the drive portion 60' is in the direction of the support member 52d'by the distance L4. You can move along the G. Further, although not shown, as shown in FIG. 7C, the length from the root of the insertion portion 82 to the locking portion 91 is formed to be longer than the thickness of the through hole 81', so that the support is supported. The drive unit 60'can move with respect to the member 52d' along the thickness direction of the through hole 81'.

As described in the above-described embodiment, the drive units 60 and 60'are temporarily fixed to the guide member 30 so as to be relatively movable with respect to the guide member 30 within a predetermined range along the thickness direction of the guide member 30. As a result, the position of the guide member 30 can be adjusted in the thickness direction even when the drive units 60 and 60'are fixed, so that the mounting position can be easily adjusted.
For example, when the object moving device 10 is attached to the vehicle body for use in raising and lowering the window of a vehicle, the guide member 30 is moved in the thickness direction (inside / outside direction) with the drive units 60, 60'fixed to the vehicle body. be able to. Therefore, the position of the window attached to the moving member 20 can be adjusted to a position where the seal with the weather strip 203 is sufficiently secured. In this way, the mounting position can be easily adjusted.

Further, the position in the width direction of the relative positions of the drive units 60 and 60'with respect to the guide member 30 is generally fixed, but the direction G along the guide member 30 can be adjusted within a predetermined range. it can. Therefore, the position can be adjusted more easily.

Further, as shown in the above embodiment, the object moving devices 10 and 10'can be applied as a wind regulator for a sashless vehicle.

Further, since the drive units 60 and 60'can be temporarily fixed to the guide member 30 simply by inserting the locking portions 91 into the through holes 81 and 81', the drive units 60 and 60'can be easily attached to the guide member 30. Can be held in. Further, since the drive units 60 and 60'can move relative to the support members 52b and 52d'(an example of the holding member) by sliding the intermediate portion 92 and the through holes 81 and 81', the drive units 60 and 60' ´ and the position of the guide member 30 can be easily adjusted.

Further, since the relative movement of the drive units 60 and 60'with respect to the guide member 30 in the width direction is suppressed, the relative position in the width direction is fixed when the object moving devices 10 and 10'are attached to a vehicle or the like. Can be done.

The object moving device of the present invention has an effect of easily adjusting the mounting position, and is useful as, for example, a wind regulator.
