By the way, in recent years, for example, a vehicle having a shutter door at an opening at the rear of the body has been proposed. In this type of vehicle, a vehicle opening / closing structure in which a slide rail is provided on the body so as to sandwich the opening from the left and right and a shutter door that can be moved with respect to the slide rail is provided may be adopted. The shutter door is provided with a plurality of slat members, and the opening is opened and closed by moving the slide rail. Since it is necessary to prevent water from entering the passenger compartment and luggage compartment of a vehicle, it is necessary to provide a sealing member between the shutter door and the body. However, a part of the sealing member comes into contact with the slat member along the longitudinal direction of the slat member, but near the center of the slat member in the longitudinal direction, the load received from the sealing member of the rubber material and the weight of the slat member cause bending. .. The deflection of the slat member reduces the adhesion of the seal member and may lead to the ingress of water.

On the other hand, the shutter device disclosed in Patent Document 1 is a shutter device provided on a ground structure or the like. Although this shutter device is provided with a moving side engaging receiving portion and a fixed side engaging receiving portion capable of engaging with the moving side engaging receiving portion, it is merely a means for preventing deformation of the shutter at a high temperature. Absent.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is that even if a shutter door is adopted in a vehicle, reliable sealing by the shutter door can be realized without increasing the rigidity of the slat member. It is to provide the opening and closing structure of the vehicle.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has a pair of guide rails arranged so as to extend across an opening provided in the vehicle, and a plurality of slat members, and the pair of guide rails has a plurality of slat members. A shutter door that is guided to open and close the opening, a horizontal member provided so as to be located above the shutter door, and a seal member that seals between the horizontal member and the slat member. In the opening / closing structure of the vehicle provided, a protruding plate portion provided on the horizontal member and extending along the slat member toward the retracting side of the shutter door, and the shutter door among the plurality of slat members. It is characterized by having a hook-shaped locking portion which is provided on the slat member located on the most retracted side of the door, is opened toward the sending side of the shutter door, and can be locked to the protruding plate portion. To do.

In the present invention, when the shutter door is pulled out and the opening is closed, the locking portion provided on the slat member located on the most retracted side of the shutter door among the plurality of slat members is locked to the protruding plate portion. By locking the locking portion to the protruding plate portion, the distance between the protruding plate portion and the slat member is maintained at a distance at which the sealing member can apply an appropriate load to the slat member. As a result, the seal member can be brought into close contact with the slat member over the longitudinal direction of the slat member, and even if the shutter door is adopted, reliable sealing by the shutter door can be realized without increasing the rigidity of the slat member.

Further, in the opening / closing structure of the vehicle, the seal member may be provided on the lower surface of the protruding plate portion.
In this case, the seal member can be brought into close contact with the slat member over the longitudinal direction of the slat member, and further, when the seal member extends along the guide rail, the seal member is continuously moved from the slat member to the guide rail. Can be formed.

Further, in the opening / closing structure of the vehicle, the seal member may be provided on the upper surface of the slat member located on the most retractable side of the shutter door.
In this case, the seal member does not come into sliding contact with the slat member, and the slat member does not wear due to the sliding contact between the seal member and the slat member. Further, the seal member slides into the protruding plate portion only immediately before the shutter door completely closes the opening and only when the opening starts to open. Therefore, the durability of the seal member is improved as compared with the case where the seal member is in sliding contact with the slat member.

Further, in the opening / closing structure of the vehicle, the locking portion includes a first locking piece extending from a slat member located on the most retracted side of the shutter door to the retracted side of the shutter door, and the first engaging portion. It has a second locking piece that changes its direction from the tip of the stop piece to the sending side of the shutter door, and a third locking piece that extends from the second locking piece to the sending side of the shutter door. The tip end portion of the third locking piece may be formed so that the distance from the first locking piece increases toward the delivery side of the shutter door.
In this case, the tip of the third locking piece is formed so that the distance from the first locking piece increases toward the sending side of the shutter door. Therefore, when the shutter door closes the opening, the protruding plate The portion easily enters the opening of the locking portion.

Further, in the opening / closing structure of the vehicle, the tip end portion of the protruding plate portion may be formed so that the distance from the slat member decreases toward the retracting side of the shutter door.
In this case, the tip of the protruding plate portion is formed so that the distance from the slat member decreases toward the retracting side of the shutter door. Therefore, when the shutter door closes the opening, the protruding plate portion locks. It becomes easier to enter the opening of.

According to the present invention, even if a shutter door is adopted in a vehicle, it is possible to provide a vehicle opening / closing structure capable of realizing a reliable sealing by the shutter door without increasing the rigidity of the slat member.

The upper edge portion 17 of the side panel 12 is connected to the side edge portion 18 of the roof panel 13.

As shown in FIG. 2, an opening 19 communicating with the vehicle interior is formed at the rear portion of the vehicle body 11. The opening 19 is partitioned by a trailing edge 20 of the side panel 12, a trailing edge 21 of the spoiler 16, and an upper edge 22 of the bumper 15. Guide rails 23 are provided along the trailing edges 21 of the left and right side panels 12. The details of the guide rail 23 will be described later.

The automobile 10 is provided with a shutter door 25 that can open and close the opening 19. The shutter door 25 is opened and closed by the power of a motor (not shown). The shutter door 25 is guided by the guide rail 23 to open and close the opening 19. When the shutter door 25 closes the opening 19, the shutter door 25 is sent out rearward and downward from the roof panel 13 side, and conversely, when the shutter door 25 opens the opening 19, the front roof panel 13 side. The shutter door 25 is pulled in. As shown in FIG. 3, the direction in which the shutter door 25 is sent out is the direction on the sending side, and the direction in which the shutter door 25 is pulled in is the direction on the pulling side.

The shutter door 25 includes a plurality of slat members 26 and a connecting member 27 that connects adjacent slat members 26. The slat member 26 is a rectangular flat plate and is made of a resin having excellent impact resistance. A plurality of slat members 26 are arranged so that the longitudinal direction of the slat member 26 is the vehicle width direction. The connecting member 27 is made of a highly flexible resin that is more easily elastically deformed than the slat member 26. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, slide shoes 28 guided by the guide rails 23 are provided at both ends of the slat member 26 in the longitudinal direction.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the slat member 26 (26B) located on the most retractable side of the plurality of slat members 26 is retracted more than the spoiler 16 when the shutter door 25 closes the opening 19. It is located below the roof panel 13 on the side. For convenience of explanation, the slat member 26 located on the most sending side among the plurality of slat members 26 is referred to as the slat member 26A, and the slat member 26 located on the most retracting side is referred to as the slat member 26B to distinguish it from the other slat members 26.

Next, the guide rail 23 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the guide rail 23 has a first rail member 31 and a second rail member 32. The first rail member 31 is located inside the vehicle, and the second rail member 32 is located outside the vehicle. The first rail member 31 and the second rail member 32 are joined to each other. The first rail member 31 has a recess 33 recessed from the outside of the vehicle to the inside of the vehicle. The second rail member 32 has a wall surface 34 that is flush with the outer side surface in the width direction of the recess 33. The second rail member 32 includes an extending portion 35 extending from the upper portion of the wall surface 34 toward the center of the vehicle body in the width direction. The recess 33, the wall surface 34 and the extending portion 35 partition the guide groove 36. The slide shoe 28 provided on the slat member 26 is guided by the guide groove 36. When the shutter door 25 opens and closes along the guide rail 23, the slide shoe 28 slides in the guide groove 36.

As shown in FIG. 5, a seal member 37 formed of a rubber-based material is provided on the lower surface of the extending portion 35 of the guide rail 23. The seal member 37 seals between the extending portion 35 of the guide rail 23 and the slat member 26. The seal member 37 extends along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 23. The end of the guide rail 23 that guides the shutter door 25 on the sending side is located on the upper surface of the bumper 15, and the end on the pulling side is located near the center of the roof panel 13 in the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the guide rail 23 is located below the roof panel 13, and a lean forcement 38 for reinforcing the roof panel 13 is mounted on the guide rail 23. The lean forcement 38 is a member obtained by press-molding a metal plate, and corresponds to a horizontal member provided so as to be located above the shutter door 25. As shown in FIG. 6, the lean forcement 38 is formed from a main body portion 39 having an inverted U-shaped cross section, a rear plate portion 40 extending from the main body portion 39 toward the rear side on the delivery side, and a main body portion 39. It has a front plate portion 41 as a protruding plate portion extending forward toward the pull-in side.

The upper surface of the main body 39 is formed so as to follow the shape of the roof panel 13 and supports the roof panel 13. In the present embodiment, the upper surface of the main body 39 is formed so as to decrease from the center of the roof panel 13 in the width direction toward both ends in the width direction. Therefore, the upper surface of the main body 39 is the lowest at both ends in the width direction and the highest at the center in the width direction. The rear plate portion 40 extends along the guide rail 23 to the vicinity of the spoiler 16. Both ends of the rear plate portion 40 in the width direction are fixed on the guide rail 23. The rear plate portion 40 and the slat member 26 are in a positional relationship that does not interfere with each other.

The front plate portion 41 extends forward from the front end portion of the main body portion 39 in the width direction and is along the guide rail 23. A plate-side guide piece 42 is formed at the tip of the front plate portion 41 so that the distance from the slat member 26 decreases toward the retracting side of the shutter door 25. When the shutter door 25 closes the opening 19, the slat member 26B located on the most retracted side is locked to the front plate portion 41, but the plate side guide piece 42 is for facilitating the locking of the slat member 26B. It is a thing.

As shown in FIG. 7, a seal member 43 formed of a rubber-based material is provided near the main body 39 on the lower surface of the front plate 41. The sealing member 43 is provided on the lower surface of the front plate portion 41 over the width direction, and seals between the lean forcement 38 and the slat member 26. Both ends of the seal member 43 are integrally connected to the seal member 37 provided along the guide rail 23. The end portion of the seal member 37 on the bumper 15 side is integrally connected to the seal member (not shown) provided on the upper surface of the bumper 15 over the width direction. The seal member included in the bumper 15 seals between the bumper 15 and the front surface of the slat member 26A located closest to the delivery side when the shutter door 25 closes the opening 19.

By the way, the slat member 26B located on the most retracted side has a hook-shaped locking portion 45 that locks to the front plate portion 41 of the lean forcement 38. As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 6, the locking portions 45 are provided at three positions at intervals in the width direction of the slat member 26B. All three locking portions 45 are formed of the same resin as the slat member 26B, and are integrally formed with the slat member 26B.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the locking portion 45 includes a first locking piece 46, a second locking piece 47, and a third locking piece 48. The first locking piece 46 is a portion extending from the slat member 26B located on the most retractable side of the shutter door 25 toward the retractable side of the shutter door 25. The second locking piece 47 is a portion that changes its direction from the tip of the first locking piece 46 to the sending side of the shutter door 25. The third locking piece 48 is a portion extending from the second locking piece 47 toward the delivery side.

A locking side guide piece 49 is formed at the tip of the third locking piece 48 so that the distance from the first locking piece 46 increases toward the sending side of the shutter door 25. The locking portion 45 is formed with an opening 50 facing the sending side by the first locking piece 46, the second locking piece 47, the third locking piece 48, and the locking side guide piece 49. The locking side guide piece 49 facilitates guiding the front plate portion 41 to the opening 50.

The position of the third locking piece 48 is set so as to be above the front plate portion 41 and in contact with the front plate portion 41 when the shutter door 25 closes the opening 19. When the third locking piece 48 abuts on the front plate portion 41 with the shutter door 25 closing the opening 19, the positional relationship between the front plate portion 41 and the slat member 26B is determined, and the seal member 43 becomes the slat member 26B. The load to be applied is appropriate. That is, the lean forcement 38 and the slat member 26 are appropriately sealed by the seal member 43.

As described above, the vehicle opening / closing structure of the present embodiment includes a pair of guide rails 23, a shutter door 25, a lean forcement 38, a seal member 43 provided on the front plate member, and a front plate as a protruding plate portion. It has a portion 41 and a locking portion 45.

Next, the operation of the opening / closing structure of the vehicle of the present embodiment will be described. A case where the shutter door 25 closes the opening 19 from the state where the opening 19 is opened will be described. When the opening 19 is open, the slat member 26A located on the most feeding side of the shutter door 25 is located near the spoiler 16 (see FIG. 2). At this time, the slat member 26B located on the most retracted side of the shutter door 25 is located in front of the lean force 38, although it is not shown.

By sending out the shutter door 25, the shutter door 25 is guided by the guide rail 23, and the slat member 26 of the shutter door 25 moves toward the bumper 15. As the shutter door 25 moves, the slat member 26A located on the most feeding side of the shutter door 25 approaches the bumper 15. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the slat member 26B located on the most retracted side of the shutter door 25 approaches the lean forcement 38. At this time, the slat member 26B is located below the seal member 43 of the lean forcement 38, but is separated from the seal member 43.

Further, when the shutter door 25 moves to the drawer side, as shown in FIG. 9, the locking side guide piece 49 of the locking portion 45 comes into contact with the upper side of the plate side guide piece 42 of the lean forcement 38, and the plate side guide Guided by piece 42. When the locking side guide piece 49 is guided by the plate side guide piece 42, the locking portion 45 is lifted away from the extending direction of the guide rail 23 so that the front plate portion 41 is guided to the opening 50. When the locking portion 45 is lifted with respect to the guide rail 23, the pull-in side of the slat member 26B is lifted so as to be separated from the extending direction of the guide rail 23. Therefore, the slat member 26B comes into contact with the seal member 43.

Further, when the shutter door 25 moves to the drawer side, as shown in FIG. 7, the front plate portion 41 enters the opening 50, and the third locking piece 48 rides on the front plate portion 41 to form the main body portion. Approach 39. Since the slat member 26B and the locking portion 45 are made of resin, at least one of the slat member 26B and the locking portion 45 is elastically deformed, and the locking portion 45 guides the front plate portion 41 without difficulty. At this time, the distance between the slat member 26B and the front plate portion 41 is the narrowest as compared with the states of FIGS. 8 and 9, and the distance does not fluctuate. Therefore, the seal member 43 presses the slat member 26B so that an appropriate load is applied to the slat member 26B. By applying an appropriate load to the slat member 26B by the sealing member 43, the airtightness between the lean forcement 38 and the slat member 26B is maintained. Since the slat member 26A located on the most feeding side of the shutter door 25 is in contact with the bumper 15, the shutter door 25 completely closes the opening 19.

When the opening 19 is opened from the state where the shutter door 25 is closed, the shutter door 25 is pulled toward the roof panel 13. The shutter door 25 is guided by the guide rail 23, most of the slat member 26 including the slat member 26A of the shutter door 25 moves toward the roof panel 13, and the slat member 26B locked to the front plate portion 41 moves forward. Move to.

Since the slat member 26B moves forward due to the movement of the shutter door 25, the locking portion 45 moves in the direction away from the lean forcement 38 (pull-in side). As the shutter door 25 continues to move, the locking portion 45 disengages from the lean forcement 38. When the slat member 26A moves to the vicinity of the spoiler 16, the opening 19 is completely opened.

Although not shown, a comparative example in which the slat member 26B does not include the locking portion 45 will be described. When the slat member 26B does not include the locking portion 45, the position of the slat member 26B with respect to the lean force 38 is not stable when the shutter door 25 closes the opening 19. For example, the position of the slat member 26B changes with respect to the lean force 38 due to bending due to its own weight, a load received from the seal member 43, vibration during traveling of the automobile 10, and the like. Therefore, the airtightness between the slat member 26B and the lean forcement 38 cannot be maintained. In order to secure the airtightness between the slat member 26B and the lean forcement 38 without providing the locking portion 45, the rigidity of the slat member 26B may be increased, but a means for increasing the rigidity of the slat member 26B. And members are required, which causes problems such as increased weight.

The opening / closing structure of the vehicle of the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) When the shutter door 25 is pulled out and closed with the opening 19, the locking portion 45 provided on the slat member 26B located on the most retracted side of the shutter door 25 among the plurality of slat members 26 is the front plate portion 41. Locked to. By locking the locking portion 45 to the front plate portion 41, the distance between the front plate portion 41 and the slat member 26B allows the sealing member 43 to apply an appropriate load to the slat member 26B. Keep in distance. As a result, the seal member 43 can be brought into close contact with the slat member 26B over the longitudinal direction of the slat member 26B, and even if the shutter door 25 is adopted, the slat member 26B is securely sealed by the shutter door 25 without increasing the rigidity. Can realize sex. Further, since the sealing member 43 is maintained to be hermetically sealed by the locking portion 45, it is possible to contribute to the weight reduction of the opening / closing structure of the vehicle without the need for means or members for increasing the rigidity of the slat member 26B. Further, the sealing member 43 is secured by locking the locking portion 45 to the front plate portion 41 without increasing the rigidity of the slat member 26B. Therefore, even if a high-pressure water pressure acts on the shutter door 25, it is possible to prevent water from entering the vehicle interior and the luggage compartment, and the vehicle can be opened and closed with high robustness.

(2) The seal member 43 can be brought into close contact with the slat member 26B over the longitudinal direction of the slat member 26B, and further, when the seal member 37 extends along the guide rail 23, the seal members 37 and 43 are slatted. It can be continuously formed from the member 26B to the guide rail 23. Therefore, the opening / closing structure of the vehicle becomes easy to assemble.

(3) A plate-side guide piece 42 is formed at the tip of the third locking piece 48 so that the distance from the first locking piece 46 increases toward the sending side of the shutter door 25. When the shutter door 25 closes the opening 19, the front plate portion 41 easily enters the opening 50 of the locking portion 45.

(4) Since the locking side guide piece 49 is formed at the tip of the front plate portion 41 so that the distance from the slat member 26B decreases toward the retracting side of the shutter door 25, the shutter door 25 is formed. When the opening 19 is closed, the front plate portion 41 easily enters the opening 50 of the locking portion 45.

(5) Since the locking portion 45 is integrally formed with the slat member 26B, it is not necessary to prepare the locking portion 45 as a separate member, and the locking portion 45 can be easily provided on the slat member 26B. Further, even if the shape of the roof panel 13 limits the space in the vicinity of the lean force 38, the slat member is provided by dispersing the locking portions 45 at a plurality of locations in the width direction of the slat member 26B. A locking portion 45 can be provided on 26B.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, the opening / closing structure of the vehicle according to the second embodiment will be described. This embodiment is different from the previous embodiment in that the seal member is not provided in the lean force and the slat member is provided with the seal member. In the present embodiment, the description of the first embodiment is incorporated for the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, and a common reference numeral is used.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the vehicle opening / closing structure of the present embodiment, the shutter door 61 includes a plurality of slat members 26, connecting members 27, and slide shoes 28. The shutter door 61 includes a slat member 26A located on the most sending side of the plurality of slat members 26 and a slat member 26B located on the most retracting side.

In the present embodiment, a seal member 62 formed of a rubber-based material is provided on the upper surface of the slat member 26B located on the most retracted side. When the shutter door 61 closes the opening 19, as shown in FIG. 10, the front plate portion 41 enters the opening 50, and the third locking piece 48 rides on the front plate portion 41 to form the main body portion 39. Is approaching. Then, the distance between the slat member 26B and the front plate portion 41 becomes the narrowest. Therefore, the seal member 62 presses the slat member 26B so that an appropriate load is applied to the slat member 26B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the locking portion 45 of the slat member 26B located on the most retracted side of the shutter door 61 is separated from the front plate portion 41, the slat member 26B is a seal member 62 of the lean forcement 38. Although it is located below, it is separated from the seal member 62.

The present embodiment exhibits the same effects as those of the first embodiment (1), (3) to (5). Further, since the seal member 62 is provided on the upper surface of the slat member 26B located on the most retracted side, the seal member 62 is in sliding contact with the front plate portion 41, but is not in sliding contact with the slat member 26. In the present embodiment, as compared with the case where the seal member 43 is provided on the lean forcement 38, the slat member 26 is not worn due to the sliding contact between the seal member 62 and the slat member 26. Further, the seal member 62 is in sliding contact with the front plate portion 41 only immediately before the shutter door 61 completely closes the opening 19 and when the opening 19 starts to open. Therefore, the durability of the seal member 62 is improved as compared with the case where the seal member 62 is in sliding contact with the plurality of slat members 26.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the gist of the invention. For example, the present invention may be modified as follows.

○ In the above embodiment, the opening / closing structure of the vehicle provided with the shutter door for opening / closing the rear opening of the automobile has been described, but the opening / closing structure is not limited to the rear opening. For example, the opening / closing structure of the vehicle may be provided with a shutter door for opening / closing an opening provided on the side of the vehicle.
○ In the above embodiment, the locking portion is formed integrally with the slat member, but this is not the case. For example, the locking portion may be configured by a member different from the slat member, and in this case, another member for forming the locking portion may be fixed to the slat member. If the separate member is made of the same material as the slat member, the separate member may be fixed to the slat member by adhesion. By forming the locking portion with a member different from the slat member, the material of the locking portion can be different from that of the slat member.
