DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle door opening detection mechanism for detecting whether a window of a vehicle door opened and closed by a window glass is open.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, in a vehicle such as an automobile, for example, when the vehicle is parked, a vehicle occupant may get off with a window of a vehicle door open and may leave the vehicle. . Such forgetting to close the window is not preferable because it causes the articles in the vehicle to be stolen during parking.

As means for solving such a problem, for example, it is conceivable to employ means described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. Sho 61-152682 or Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-102313. That is, the means described in these publications are means applied to a slide door used in a so-called one-box vehicle, etc., and sense that when the window of the slide door is opened. When the opening of the window is detected by the window opening detecting mechanism by incorporating the window opening detecting mechanism into the sliding door, a predetermined stopper mechanism provided in the vehicle is operated to activate the sliding door. This is a means to prevent the door from being fully opened. According to such means,
If the vehicle occupant opens the slide door and gets off the vehicle, if the slide door cannot be fully opened, it is possible to detect that the window of the slide door is open, and to prevent forgetting to close the window. Useful.

Conventionally, an example of a window opening detection mechanism is as follows.
For example, there is a mechanism as shown in FIG. This conventional mechanism includes a sensing lever capable of swinging up and down in the vertical movement path of a lift arm bracket 20e of a window regulator (not shown) for supporting a window glass 2e for opening and closing a window of a vehicle door. 90 is arranged. In this mechanism, the lift arm bracket 20
When e moves down, the lower surface thereof comes into contact with the sensing lever 90 and pushes down the sensing lever 90 downward. Therefore, for example, if a cable 91 is connected to the sensing lever 90 or a member 92 interlocked with the sensing lever 90, the cable 91 is pulled in a predetermined direction with the descending operation of the sensing lever 90, By the pulling operation of the cable 91, the fact that the window portion is in the open state can be transmitted to another device, or the other device can perform a predetermined operation. The window opening detection mechanism having the above configuration is configured to detect the opening state of the window by mechanical contact between the lift arm bracket 20e and the detection lever 90, so that it is not necessary to use expensive precision equipment and the like.
It is possible to simplify the structure of the entire mechanism and reduce its manufacturing cost.

[0005]

However, in the above-described conventional window opening detection mechanism, the lift arm bracket 2 is provided.
The configuration is such that the sensing lever 90 is pushed down by the horizontal lower surface of 0e. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, when the window glass 2e descends and the lift arm bracket 20e and the sensing lever 90 come into contact with each other, a relatively large impact is generated. This impact causes vibration in the window glass 2e and also causes abnormal noise. Therefore, in the related art, the occurrence of such vibration and abnormal noise of the window glass 2e has caused a problem of giving an uncomfortable feeling to an automobile. Such a problem is caused, for example, by the influence of the pulling force of the cable 91 or the like, that the sensing lever 90 is hard to rotate downward, the resistance of the sensing lever 90 to the lift arm bracket 20e is large, or the window glass 2e is vigorously lowered. In such cases, it became more prominent.

The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and has a drawback in that when a window of a vehicle door is opened, vibration occurs in the window glass or abnormal noise occurs. It is an object of the present invention to appropriately detect whether or not a window portion of a vehicle door is open without causing the occurrence of a window.

[0007]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following technical means.

That is, the window opening detection mechanism for a vehicle door provided by the present invention is a predetermined elevating member which performs a lowering operation when a window of a vehicle door opened and closed by a window glass which can be raised and lowered is opened. A movable member for detecting the opening of the window is provided on the moving path of the vehicle, and the movable member is pressed down by the elevating member so that the opening state of the window can be detected. A door opening detection mechanism for a door, wherein the elevating member is provided with a guide surface having a flat or curved inclined surface inclined with respect to a descending direction of the elevating member, and When the elevating member is lowered, the inclined surface of the guide surface comes into contact with the movable member for detecting the opening of the window and pushes down the movable member. There.

The elevating member referred to in the present invention is a member that performs a descending operation when the window of the vehicle door is opened, and is a window glass itself. As a matter of course, various members such as a lift arm bracket of a window regulator for supporting a window glass or a member attached to the lift arm bracket can be applied.

In the present invention, when the window of the vehicle door is opened by lowering the window glass of the vehicle door, the guide surface provided on the predetermined elevating member is used to detect the opening of the window. The movable member can be pushed down by contacting the movable member, and it can be sensed that the window of the vehicle door has been opened based on the pushing operation of the movable member or the dimension value to be pushed down. In the present invention, when such a series of operations are performed, when the operation of bringing the guide surface into contact with the movable member and pressing down the movable member is started, the inclined surface portion provided on the guide surface is moved by the movable surface. By bringing the movable member into contact with the member, it is possible to reduce the impact generated at the start of the operation of pressing down the movable member. That is, since the inclined surface of the guide surface is inclined with respect to the descending direction of the elevating member, when the inclined surface and the movable member are brought into contact with each other, for example, a part of the movable member that contacts the inclined surface is used. By sliding or rolling in the vertical direction along the inclined surface portion, it is possible to reduce the impact when the guide surface comes into contact with the movable member. Therefore, according to the invention of the present application, it is possible to prevent or suppress the generation of vibration and abnormal noise of the window glass due to the collision between the movable member of the window opening detection mechanism and the elevating operation member, which makes the vehicle occupant feel uncomfortable. Is not given.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide surface is provided when the window of the vehicle door is fully closed and the elevating member is positioned above the movable member. A configuration may be adopted in which a lower region extends below the elevating member so that the lower region contacts a part of the movable member or is arranged to face the side of the movable member.

According to such a configuration, when the window opening detection mechanism is assembled to the vehicle door, the positioning of the movable member for window opening detection can be performed easily and accurately. That is, the work of assembling the window opening detection mechanism to the vehicle door is generally performed in a state in which the window of the vehicle door is fully closed. Since the entire guide surface is largely separated above the movable member for detecting the opening of the window, the work of aligning the movable member and the guide surface becomes difficult when assembling the movable member, In some cases, they cannot be accurately aligned. In addition, after assembling the movable member, it is necessary to check whether or not the guide surface is actually in contact with the movable member, and the operation becomes troublesome. However, according to the above configuration, when the movable member for detecting the opening of the window is assembled,
A part of this movable member is brought into contact with the lower area of the guide surface,
Alternatively, it is only necessary to dispose them opposite to each other, so that they can be easily and accurately aligned, and the necessity of performing an operation check after assembling the movable member can be eliminated.

In another preferred embodiment of the present invention,
The movable member is a movable arm having a roller at one end and capable of swinging vertically, and the elevating member includes a guide rail having a groove into which the roller can be fitted. In addition, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which each inner wall surface of a pair of wall surfaces facing each other across the groove of the guide rail is the guide surface.

According to such a configuration, when the window of the vehicle door is opened, the roller provided at one end of the movable arm is rolled in the groove of the guide rail, and the movable arm is pushed down. Therefore, the operation of pushing down the movable arm by the elevating member can be performed smoothly and reliably.

FIG. 2 is a partially cutaway side view showing a schematic structure inside. FIG.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory view of a main part showing the window opening detection mechanism A.
FIG. 7 is a side sectional view of FIG.

In the window opening detection mechanism A, a detection mechanism main body 3 is provided inside the slide door 1 and a guide member 6 is attached to a lift arm bracket 20 of a window regulator for raising and lowering the window glass 2. It has a configuration.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the sensing mechanism main body 3 includes two upper and lower impact beams 17 and 17.
It is attached to either one of. That is, two impact beams 17 made of a hard metal pipe are fixed in a horizontal state inside the slide door 1 as means for increasing the strength of the slide door 1, and one of them is mounted. The impact beam 17 is used to securely mount the main body 3 of the sensing mechanism. As shown in FIG. 7, a window regulator having a drive arm 16 (the whole of which is not shown) is provided near the inside of the slide door 1, and the impact beams 17, 17 are provided with the window regulator. On the other hand, the sensing mechanism main body 3 is efficiently provided by utilizing a space near the outside in the slide door 1 in which the window regulator is not provided. Have been.

The main body 3 of the sensing mechanism has a bracket 30 fixedly attached to the impact beam 17 and a first bracket 30 attached to a lower portion of the bracket 30 via a shaft 35.
Movable arm 31, second movable arm 32, roller 31 rotatably attached to the tip of first movable arm 31
a and a spring body 33.

The first movable arm 31 can swing up and down around a shaft 35, and is provided such that the roller 31a is located in the middle of the vertical movement path of the lift arm bracket 20. Of course, wind glass 2
Is raised and the window 19 of the slide door 1 is closed, so that the roller 31a is disposed below the lift arm bracket 20. As shown in FIG. 7, the roller 31a has a plurality of triangular or mountain-shaped protrusions 34 on one side surface, as is clearly shown in FIG. The plurality of projections 34 are
This is to prevent the position 1a from being displaced from the position facing the guide member 6. More specifically,
When the first movable arm 31 sways in the vehicle width direction due to, for example, an impact generated when the slide door 1 is vigorously closed, the plurality of protrusions 34 are disposed laterally of the roller 31a. This is to prevent the roller 31a from swinging more than a certain amount in the vehicle width direction by contacting a member located on the right side in FIG.
If such a plurality of protrusions 34 are provided on the roller 31a, it is possible to prevent the roller 31a from being displaced in the vehicle width direction and to reliably contact the roller 31a with the guide member 6.

Like the first movable arm 31, the second movable arm 32 is provided so as to be able to swing up and down around a shaft 35. The ends are connected. As mentioned,
The connection cable C is constantly pulled toward the stopper mechanism 4 by the spring force of the stopper mechanism 4. Therefore, the second movable arm 32 is constantly urged in the direction of arrow N5 by the tensile force. Bracket 30
Is provided with a stopper (not shown) for preventing the second movable arm 32 from rotating more than a predetermined angle in the direction of arrow N5.

The spring body 33 includes the first movable arm 3
1 exerts a resilient force in a direction of approaching the second movable arm 32, and both ends 33 a and 33 b are locked by the first movable arm 31 and the second movable arm 32. . Therefore, in the normal state shown in FIG. 6 (when the window glass 2 is at its highest level and the window 19 is fully closed), the first movable arm 31 is in the attitude angle close to the second movable arm 32. Is maintained. However, the first movable arm 31 can independently rotate in a direction away from the second movable arm 32 against the elastic force of the spring body 33.

The guide member 6 is formed of a metal member or a synthetic resin member having a predetermined length, and a substantially entire lower surface thereof has a guide surface for contacting the roller 31a of the sensing mechanism main body 3. 60. One end region of the guide surface 60 is a flat or curved inclined surface portion 60a that is inclined with respect to the lifting / lowering direction (vertical direction) of the lift arm bracket 20, and the other region is a substantially horizontal flat surface portion. 60b. The inclined surface portion 60 a of the guide surface 60 is connected to the sensing mechanism main body 3.
Of the roller 31a.

Next, the operation of the window opening detection mechanism A having the above configuration will be described.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, the window glass 2 is arranged at the highest position, and the window 19 of the slide door 1 is opened.
When the window 19 is opened by lowering the window glass 2 from the state in which is fully closed, as shown in FIG. 8, the inclined surface 60a of the guide member 6 is attached to the roller 31a of the sensing mechanism main body 3 as shown in FIG. Will come into contact. Such an inclined surface portion 6
According to the contact between the roller 31a and the roller 31a, the roller 31a can be rolled or slid along the inclined surface portion 60a, and a large impact force can be prevented from being generated. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately prevent the window glass 2 from vibrating greatly or generating a loud collision sound due to the collision between the two.

Next, the roller 31 is placed on the inclined surface 60a.
When the window glass 2 still descends after the contact with the roller a, the roller 31a is pushed down by the guide member 6, and as shown in FIG.
The first movable arm 31 rotates downward in the direction of arrow N6. Further, the second movable arm 32 connected to the first movable arm 31 by the spring body 33 also rotates in the above direction.
Therefore, the connection cable C is connected to the second movable arm 32
4 in the direction of the arrow N7.
As shown in FIG.
Move in four directions. As shown in FIG. 10, when the window glass 2 further descends, the first movable arm 31 rotates downward accordingly, but the second movable arm 32 connected to the connection cable C has a connection cable. C
Is restricted at a constant angle θ, and the first movable arm 3
Only 1 is the window glass 2 against the elasticity of the spring body 33.
Will be lowered along with.

As described above, according to the window opening detection mechanism A, when the window 19 of the slide door 1 is opened by a certain amount or more, as shown in FIG. It can be shifted inward in the width direction. Accordingly, when the slide door 1 is slid rearward of the vehicle in such a state, the roller 41A comes into contact with the wall portion 55 of the vehicle body from a substantially right angle direction. For this reason, the slide door 1 cannot be moved further to the rear of the vehicle, and the slide door 1 cannot be fully opened. As a result, the user who has opened the sliding door 1 can not fully open the sliding door 1 and notices that the window 19 is open, so that it is possible to prevent the user from forgetting to close the window 19.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory view of a main part showing another example of the window opening detection mechanism Aa of the vehicle door according to the present invention.
FIG. 12 is a sectional view taken along line X2-X2 of FIG. In the drawings after FIG. 11, the same parts as those in the embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The window opening detection mechanism Aa is different from the detection mechanism main body 3A of the previous embodiment in regard to the detection mechanism main body 3A.
And its basic configuration is common. However, the roller 31b attached to the first movable arm 31 can be fitted into a groove 62 of a guide rail 6A described later, and the shape thereof is the same as that of the roller 31a of the sensing mechanism body 3 described above.
Is different.

On the other hand, a lift arm bracket 20 of a window regulator for raising and lowering the window glass 2
Is provided with a guide rail 6A. The guide rail 6A is formed by pressing a flat metal plate or the like, and a flat plate portion 61 extending in the vertical direction is continuously provided on one side of the guide rail 6A. This flat plate portion 61 helps to increase the rigidity of the guide rail 6A. The guide rail 6 </ b> A has a substantially U-shaped cross section that forms the groove 62, and a pair of wall surfaces 63 a and 63 facing each other with the groove 62 interposed therebetween.
Each inner wall surface of b is a pair of guide surfaces 64a and 64b for guiding the roller 31b therebetween. In the guide rail 6A, a horizontal area S1 in which a groove 62 is formed in a substantially horizontal direction, a curved area S2 extending from one end of the horizontal area S1 while curving downward, and further extending downward connected to the curved area S2. A vertical area S3 is provided. Among the guide surfaces 64a and 6b provided in series, a curved portion located in the curved region S2 is an inclined surface portion of the guide surface in the present invention. The vertical region S3 of the guide rail 6A is provided with a roller of the sensing mechanism main body 3A in a lower region of the groove 62 of the vertical region S3 when the window glass 19 is fully raised and the window portion 19 is fully closed. The guide surface 64a, 64b is arranged so as to face or contact the outer peripheral surface of the roller 31b. The guide rail 6A is provided with a slit 68 along its longitudinal direction, and a shaft portion 67 for supporting the roller 31b is inserted through the slit 68 to prevent the shaft portion 67 from being removed. With such a configuration, the roller 31b can be securely fitted and held in the groove portion 62.

In the window opening detection mechanism Aa of the vehicle door having the above structure, the window glass 2 is moved down to
When the roller 9 is opened, the roller 31b
A moves relative to A in the groove 62.
Then, the roller 31b is positioned in the vertical area S of the guide rail 6A.
3 and reaches the curved region S2, the curved region S2
The roller 31b is pushed down by the curved surface guide surfaces 64a and 64b, especially the guide surface 64a located on the upper side, and as long as the window glass 2 is lowered thereafter, the pressing operation is continued. Will be executed. Therefore, also in this window opening detection mechanism Aa, when the window 19 is opened to a certain degree or more, the first movable arm 31 having the roller 31b is rotated downward, and the second movable arm 32 is connected to the connection cable. C is pulled, and a predetermined stopper mechanism 4
Can be operated. Needless to say, since the roller 31b smoothly rolls in the groove 62 of the guide rail 6A, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of large vibration or abnormal noise caused by the contact between the roller 31b and the guide rail 6A. .

Further, in the window opening detection mechanism Aa,
Even when the window glass 2 is raised to the uppermost position, since the roller 31b is fitted into the groove 62 of the guide rail 6A, when the sensing mechanism main body 3A is assembled in the slide door 1, In this case, the sensing mechanism main body 3A may be positioned so that the roller 31b fits into the groove 62 of the guide rail 6A. Therefore,
The positioning of the sensing mechanism main body 3A with respect to the guide rail 6A can be easily performed. Further, if the roller 31b is fitted in the groove 62, the sensing mechanism main body 3A can be reliably moved to a predetermined state when the window glass 2 is lowered, so that the sensing mechanism main body 3A is assembled. After attaching, it is not necessary to lower the window glass 2 to check the operation of the window opening detection mechanism Aa.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory view of a main part showing another example of the window opening detection mechanism Ab of the vehicle door according to the present invention.
FIG. 14 is a sectional view taken along line X3-X3 of FIG.

In this window opening detection mechanism Ab, the guide rail 6B attached to the lift arm bracket 20 of the window regulator is formed using a so-called C-shaped steel material. That is, the guide rail 6B has the bent pieces 65a and 65b connected to the pair of wall surfaces 63a and 63b facing each other with the groove 62B interposed therebetween. Guide rail 6B
Is provided with a horizontal area S1, a curved area S2, and a vertical area S3. When the window glass 2 is raised to the highest position, the sensing mechanism main body 3B is located in a lower area of the groove 62B of the vertical area S3. The point that the roller 31c is provided so as to be fitted is the same as that of the window opening detection mechanism Aa. The roller 31c of the sensing mechanism main body 3B
Is shaped to fit the groove 62B.

The same effect as the above-described window opening detection mechanism Aa can be expected in the window opening detection mechanism Ab. Further, the bent pieces 65a, 65 of the guide rail 6B are provided.
b also exerts an effect of preventing the roller 31c from coming out of the groove 62B. Therefore, the groove 62B of the guide rail 6B
The roller 31c can be more stably fitted and held therein.

The specific configuration of each part of the window opening detection mechanism for a vehicle door according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various design changes can be made. In each of the above embodiments, the separate member (the guide member 6 and the guide rails 6A and 6B) having the guide surface on the lift arm bracket 20.
However, in the present invention, it goes without saying that the specific configuration of the separate member having the guide surface does not matter, and for example, a predetermined guide surface having an inclined surface portion is integrally formed on the lift arm bracket itself. Such means may be employed. Further, in the present invention, the elevating member provided with the guide surface is not limited to the lift arm bracket of the window regulator, and may be provided on another elevating member. The specific inclination angle and the dimensional length of the inclined surface portion referred to in the present invention are items that can be appropriately selected in consideration of the configuration of the movable member for detecting window opening detection, and the like.
The specific numerical value is not specified. Further, the movable member for detecting the opening of the window in the present invention is not necessarily an arm member having a roller, and may be a member having no roller.

Further, the window opening detection mechanism of each of the above embodiments is used for preventing a slide door of a vehicle from being fully opened when a predetermined stopper mechanism is operated when a window of a slide door is opened. Is used for
Again, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be used for various other uses. Needless to say, the vehicle door according to the present invention is not limited to the sliding door, and the present invention can be applied to various types of vehicle doors.
