Description

The present invention relates to a roof lining mounting structure.

As typified by the one-box type and station wagon type, in order to enhance the feeling of openness in the car and improve comfort, a panoramic roof consisting of a transparent roof panel (panoramic roof panel) is used for most of the roof. The equipped vehicle is known. In such vehicles, a sunshade unit equipped with, for example, a sliding sunshade is often mounted at the same time in order to block the sunlight from the panoramic roof. The sunshade unit is installed on the vehicle interior side of the panoramic roof panel, and a roof lining having an opening corresponding to the panoramic roof panel is attached to the housing of the sunshade unit as a roof lining (for example, Patent Document). 1).

Japanese Patent No. 5946214

The above-mentioned roof lining mounting structure is not preferable in terms of appearance because a gap is inevitably created between the roof lining opening and the panoramic roof panel because it is necessary to secure a space for inserting and removing the sunshade. On the other hand, in recent years, as a panoramic roof, a sunshade unit having a dimming function that changes the light transmittance has been adopted. Along with this, the sunshade unit described above is equipped with a panoramic roof in the future. It is expected that vehicles that are not equipped with will appear. In such a vehicle, it is not necessary to secure a space for putting in and out the sunshade when installing the roof lining, so it is expected that the combined appearance with the panoramic roof panel will be improved. At present, no mounting structure has been proposed.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a roof lining mounting structure capable of maintaining good design of the vehicle interior.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the mounting structure of the roof lining of the present invention is for mounting a roof lining having an opening on the vehicle interior side of a roof panel made of glass or resin constituting the roof of a vehicle. A roof lining mounting structure, a first engaging portion formed on the peripheral edge of the roof lining opening and a second engaging portion formed on a mounting member attached to the lower surface of the roof panel. By engaging the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, roof lining is applied to the roof panel at a position where the peripheral edge of the opening is in contact with or close to the lower surface of the roof panel. It is fixed.

According to such a roof lining mounting structure, the roof lining can be directly mounted to the roof panel via the mounting member, and the gap between the roof lining opening and the roof panel can be made as small as possible. can.

As described above, according to the present invention, the design of the vehicle interior can be maintained satisfactorily.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The roof lining mounting structure of the present invention is suitably used for a vehicle equipped with a panoramic roof in which most of the roof is composed of a transparent roof panel. In particular, a panoramic roof having a dimming function for changing the light transmittance (for example, dimming glass) is adopted, and thereby it is suitably used for a vehicle not equipped with a sunshade unit. In this specification, a glass panel is exemplified as a roof panel to which the present invention is applied, but the roof panel is made of glass as long as it has transparency, preferably as long as the light transmittance can be adjusted. It is not limited, and may be made of resin, for example.

FIG. 4B is an enlarged perspective view showing a region surrounded by a broken line in FIG. 4A.

The roof lining 10 is an interior material attached to the vehicle interior side of the transparent glass panel 2 constituting the roof of the vehicle, and is provided with a rectangular opening 11 for taking in outside light into the vehicle interior. Further, the roof lining 10 is provided with a reinforcing bracket (reinforcing member) 12 along the opening 11, and extends to the outside of the opening 11 at a position corresponding to the peripheral edge of the opening 11 in the reinforcing bracket 12. An engaging claw (first engaging portion) 13 is formed. A plurality of engaging claws 13 are integrally molded with a reinforcing bracket 12 made of resin or metal, and a plurality of engaging claws 13 are provided over the entire circumference of the opening 11. The reinforcing bracket 12 is joined to the base material of the roof lining 10 by, for example, an adhesive. The resins used for the reinforcing bracket 12 include polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyacetal (POM), polycarbonate (PC), and polyamide (PA). ), Etc., or may be modified by adding a filler such as talc to these resins. Examples of the metal used for the reinforcing bracket 12 include stainless steel and aluminum.

The glass panel 1 is fixed to the roof side rail 2 so as to cover the roof opening formed in the roof of the vehicle, and the lower surface 1a thereof is a mounting member 20 for fixing the roof flying 10 to the glass panel 1. Is pasted. The mounting member 20 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and has a sticking surface (first surface) 21 attached to the lower surface 1a of the glass panel 1, intersecting the sticking surface (first surface) 21, and facing the inside of the opening 11 of the roof lining 10. It has a mating surface (second surface) 22. An engaging hole (second engaging portion) 23 for receiving the engaging claw 13 of the roof lining 10 is formed at a position adjacent to the sticking surface 21 of the engaging surface 22. A plurality of mounting members 20 are attached to the lower surface 1a of the glass panel 1 according to the number of engaging claws 13 of the roof lining 10.

The material of the mounting member 20 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, a resin such as PP, PE, PBT, ABS, POM, PC, PA, a resin modified by adding a filler such as talc to these resins, and stainless steel. Or metal such as aluminum can be used. However, from the viewpoint of suppressing the generation of abnormal noise when the vehicle is running due to contact with the engaging claw 13, the mounting member 20 is preferably made of a material different from the material of the reinforcing bracket 12. Further, the sticking means of the mounting member 20 is not particularly limited, and a double-sided tape, an adhesive or the like can be used, but from the viewpoint of sticking strength and workability, it is preferable to use the double-sided tape.

In the present embodiment, the roof lining 10 is formed by engaging the engaging claw 13 provided on the roof lining 10 and the engaging hole 23 provided on the mounting member 20 attached to the glass panel 1 with each other. It can be fixed to the glass panel 1. In this way, the roof lining 10 can be directly attached to the glass panel 1 via the attachment member 20. Further, at this time, since the engaging hole 23 is formed close to the sticking surface 21 of the mounting member 20, the peripheral portion of the opening 11 of the roof lining 10 is in contact with or close to the lower surface 1a of the glass panel 1. Can be held at. As a result, the gap between the opening 11 of the roof lining 10 and the glass panel 1 can be made as small as possible, and the design of the vehicle interior can be well maintained.

Further, the mounting member 20 has a guide recess 24 formed on the lower side of the engaging hole 23 (opposite side of the sticking surface 21 with the engaging hole 23 interposed therebetween) of the engaging surface 22. The guide recess 24 is composed of an inclined surface 24a that inclines so as to move away from the engaging surface 22 as it goes downward, and two side surfaces 24b that connect the inclined surface 24a and the engaging surface 22. It has a function of guiding the engaging claw 13 of the roof flying 10 to the engaging hole 21 when it is attached to 1. Here, the operation of attaching the roof lining 10 to the glass panel 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 5 (a) to 5 (c) are views for explaining the mounting operation of the roof lining of the present embodiment, and are sectional views corresponding to FIG. 4 (a).

First, as shown in FIG. 5A, the roof lining 10 is positioned at a position where the engaging claw 13 faces the engaging hole 23 of the mounting member 20. Here, when the roof lining 10 is pressed upward against the glass panel 1, the engaging claw 13 comes into contact with the mounting member 20 and then, as shown in FIG. 5B, by the inclined surface 24a of the guide recess 24. Guided inward and upward. Then, when the roof lining 10 is further pressed, the engaging claw 13 gets over the guide recess 24 while the opening 11 bends inward, and the engaging claw 13 gets into the engaging hole 23 as shown in FIG. 5 (c). Accepted and engaged. As a result, the roof lining 10 is attached to the glass panel 2.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the mounting member 20 is provided with the guide recess 24, which facilitates the alignment of the engaging claw 13 and the engaging hole 23. Therefore, poor engagement between the two is suppressed, and the roof lining 10 can be reliably attached to the glass panel 2. Further, by guiding the engaging claw 13 by the guide recess 24, the engaging claw 13 and the engaging hole 23 can be engaged by simply pressing the roof lining 10 upward, so that the mounting workability of the roof lining 10 is greatly improved. Can be improved. On the other hand, even when it is necessary to remove the roof lining 10 at an automobile dealer or the like, the engagement between the engaging claw 13 and the engaging hole 23 can be disengaged by bending the opening 11 inward, and the roof can be disengaged. The lining 10 can also be easily removed. The width of the engaging claw 13 is larger than the width of the corresponding engaging hole 23 in that it can absorb variations in the dimensions of the engaging claw 13 and the mounting member 20 and variations in the attachment position of the mounting member 20. It is preferably narrow.

The angle of the inclined surface 24a of the guide recess 24 with respect to the glass panel 1, that is, the angle between the attachment surface 21 of the mounting member 20 and the inclined surface 24a is 20 to 80 ° (more preferably 30 to 60 °). Is preferable. If it is larger than 80 °, the stroke (the length of the inclined surface 24a) until the engaging claw 13 is inserted into the engaging hole 23 becomes long, and the stroke in a state where the opening 11 is bent inward. This is because the operability (workability) deteriorates due to the lengthening of the length, and if it is smaller than 20 °, it becomes difficult for the engaging claw 13 to be guided by the inclined surface 24a, and the mountability deteriorates.

The roof lining 10 may be attached to the glass panel 2 at the same time on the four sides of the rectangular opening 11, or may be attached in order from a specific side (for example, from the rear side of the vehicle to the front side of the vehicle). good. Accordingly, the installation positions of the engaging claws 13 and the mounting members 20 can be arbitrarily set. For example, the distance between the engaging claws 13, that is, the distance between the mounting members 20 is equal. It does not have to be evenly spaced, and may be different for each side of the opening 11. However, if the distance is too wide, there is a concern that the roof lining 10 may hang down due to its own weight, so the distance between the engaging claws 13 is preferably 400 mm or less. Further, the sizes and shapes of the engaging claws 13 may all be the same, or may be different for each engaging claw 13 or for each side of the opening 11. Similarly, the size and shape of the guide recesses 24 may all be the same, and may be different for each mounting member 20 or for each side of the opening 11. When the roof lining 10 is attached from a specific side of the opening 11, the engaging claw 13 can be directly inserted into the engaging hole 23 without bending the opening 11 at that side. The mounting member 20 installed on the side may not be provided with the guide recess 24.

Considering the appearance from the outside of the vehicle, it is preferable that the mounting member 20 attached to the glass panel 1 is difficult to see from the outside of the vehicle. Therefore, in the glass panel 1, the region outside the opening 11 of the roof lining 10 (the region to which the mounting member 20 is attached) has better visibility from the outside of the vehicle interior than the inner region (other regions). It is preferable that, for example, a surface treatment is applied so as to reduce the temperature. Specifically, it is preferable that the light transmittance is low or the glass panel 2 is translucent or opaque.

The specific structure for fixing the roof lining 10 to the glass panel 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned fixing by the engaging claw 13 and the engaging hole 23, and may be fixed by, for example, a hook-and-loop fastener, or these. May be used together. However, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the region including the peripheral edge of the opening 11 is inclined rather than parallel to the glass panel 1 in the mounting posture of the roof lining 10, a hook-and-loop fastener is formed in that region. Is installed, the engaging surface of the hook-and-loop fastener becomes slanted with respect to the pressing direction of the roof lining 10. Therefore, not only the mounting workability of the roof lining 10 deteriorates, but also the pressing against the glass panel 2 tends to be insufficient, which may cause a defective mounting of the roof lining 10. From such a point, particularly when the region including the peripheral portion of the opening 11 in the roof lining 10 is inclined with respect to the glass panel 1, the present implementation is performed as a method for fixing the roof lining 10 to the glass panel 2. It is preferable to use one having an engaging claw 13 and an engaging hole 23 as in the form.
