Description

  The present invention is, for example, attached to an opening / closing body such as an automobile door or a vehicle body, and when the foreign body is sandwiched between the opening / closing body and the vehicle body or between the opening / closing body and the opening / closing body when closing the opening / closing body, The present invention relates to an automobile molded body provided with a pinching detection sensor for detecting this.

  An automobile may be provided with a power slide door device that opens and closes the slide door by the power of a motor, for example. In an automobile equipped with a power slide door device, a pinch detection sensor is arranged at the front end of the slide door, and when the slide door is closed, foreign matter is placed between the slide door and the vehicle body or between the front door and the rear slide door. Is detected between the two and the safety of the power sliding door device is improved.

  When this kind of pinch sensor is disposed on the slide door, a configuration is known in which the pinch sensor is incorporated into a molded article for automobile made of rubber or resin, and this molded article for automobile is attached to the front end of the slide door. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1). The pinching sensor includes a detection unit that detects a pressure that rises when contacting a foreign object, and a resistance box as a control unit to which the detection unit is connected. The molded article for automobile is provided with a detection part insertion part for inserting the detection part and a protective cover formed so as to accommodate the resistance box. And when attaching the molded object for motor vehicles to a slide door, the molded object for motor vehicles is inserted in the flange part of a slide door, and the molded object for motor vehicles clamps the flange part of a slide door with an elastic force.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the rear end portion of the inner wall portion 13a is curved so as to extend toward the outside of the passenger compartment, and an extension plate portion 15 is provided at the rear end portion. .

  A vertical plate portion 13d extending outward from the passenger compartment is formed at the rear end portion of the outer wall portion 13c. The vertical plate portion 13d is inclined so as to be positioned later toward the outside of the vehicle compartment, and the rear surface of the vertical plate portion 13d is in contact with the front end surface of the vehicle sliding door D. A lower arcuate portion 13e extending in a curved manner is provided at the end of the vertical plate portion 13d on the outside of the passenger compartment, similarly to the arcuate portion 12f (shown in FIG. 4). The lower arcuate part 13e is continuous with the lower end part of the arcuate part 12f and comes into contact with the pillar and the front door.

  A step portion 13g is formed on the inner surface of the outer side wall portion 13c. The step portion 13g is formed so that the rear side thereof is located on the outer side of the vehicle compartment with respect to the front side in the front-rear direction intermediate portion of the outer wall portion 13c. The front end of the flange portion D3 comes into contact with the stepped portion 13g. Further, the inner surface of the outer wall portion 13c is configured such that the rear side of the step portion 13g abuts on the side surface of the flange portion D3 on the outer side of the passenger compartment. Note that the rear upper end portion of the outer wall portion 13c is continuous with the lower end portion of the outer flat plate portion 12c of the elongated portion 12 shown in FIG. 4, and the step portion 13g is the outer flat plate portion 12c shown in FIG. And the step portion 12g connecting the tubular portion 12a.

  The protective cover 14 is integrally formed from the rear end portion of the inner wall portion 13a that forms the resistance box housing space portion R, and from the root side (rear side in FIG. 6) of the flange portion D3 to the front end direction of the flange portion D3. It is formed in a plate shape extending toward (front side). And the extending direction front-end | tip part (front-end part) of the protective cover 14 is located in the back side from the step part 13g of the outer side wall part 13c. That is, the extending direction front end portion of the protective cover 14 is formed so as to open the resistance box housing space R to the side thereof, and when the extending direction front end portion of the protective cover 14 is extended, the stepped portion 13g is formed. It is in a position to be connected. Further, the distance between the front end portion of the protective cover 14 to be opened and the step portion 13g of the outer wall portion 13c only needs to be narrower than the width in the vehicle front-rear direction of the resistance box 22 to be attached. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, there is a gap of a predetermined dimension A between the front end portion in the extending direction of the protective cover 14 and the rear end portion of the outer flat plate portion 12 c of the elongated portion 12. .

  At the front end side in the extending direction of the protective cover 14, a contact portion 14a extending along the side surface of the flange portion D3 on the vehicle interior side and contacting the side surface of the flange portion D3 is provided. The outer surface of the resistance box 22 is covered with the resistance box 22 accommodated in the resistance box accommodation space R and the flange portion D3. Since the contact portion 14a is interposed between the resistance box 22 and the flange portion D3, the resistance box 22 does not hit the flange portion D3, and the generation of abnormal noise is suppressed.

  A vertical wall portion 14b perpendicular to the contact portion 14a is provided on the protective cover 14 on the proximal side (rear side) in the extending direction from the contact portion 14a. That is, the vertical wall portion 14b extends from the rear end portion of the contact portion 14a toward the vehicle interior side, and faces the rear surface of the resistance box 22 accommodated in the resistance box accommodation space R. Therefore, when the resistance box 22 attempts to move rearward, the rear surface of the resistance box 22 is supported in contact with the vertical wall portion 14b and is prevented from moving further rearward. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the vertical wall portion 14 b has a shorter dimension in the vehicle interior / exterior direction as it goes downward.

  A deformation portion 14c that is elastically deformed is provided on the base end side (rear side) in the extending direction from the vertical wall portion 14b of the protective cover 14. The deformable portion 14c extends from the end of the vertical wall portion 14b on the vehicle interior side to the rear end portion of the inner wall portion 13a, and as a result, a small space portion RS is formed between the deformable portion 14c and the inner wall portion 13a as shown in FIG. For example, when the vertical wall portion 14b is pushed in the vehicle interior / exterior direction or the front / rear direction, the vertical wall portion 14b can be easily deformed by bending and deforming.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the extension plate portion 15 extends to the rear side, and thus extends to the side opposite to the extension direction (front side) of the protective cover 14. The extension plate portion 15 is provided with a fixing portion 16 that is fixed to the vehicle sliding door D. Further, the extension plate portion 15 also has a flap portion 17 for closing the drain hole D4 of the vehicle slide door D.

  The fixing portion 16 is provided at a position farther rearward than the protective cover 14 and is positioned between the flap portion 17 and the protective cover 14 in the front-rear direction. The fixed portion 16 is composed of two convex portions 16 a and 16 b that protrude from the surface of the extended plate portion 15 on the outside of the passenger compartment. A gap is formed between the convex portion 16a and the convex portion 16b, and the convex portions 16a and 16b can be deformed in a direction approaching each other. As shown in FIG. 3, the front ends of the protrusions 16a and 16b inserted into the fixing hole D5 are locked to the peripheral edge of the fixing hole D5.

  Moreover, the flap part 17 is comprised so that the drain hole D4 may be covered from a vehicle interior side. A gap is formed between the flap portion 17 and the front edge portion and the rear edge portion of the drain hole D4, and water can be discharged even when the drain hole D4 is closed by the flap portion 17.

  A hook portion 18 is provided on the outer surface of the flap portion 17 in the passenger compartment. The hook portion 18 protrudes upward and engages with the upper edge portion of the drain hole D4 in a state of being inserted into the drain hole D4.

  Next, a description will be given of how to attach the automobile molded body 10 configured as described above to the vehicle sliding door D. First, the pinching detection sensor 20 is assembled to the molded article 10 for an automobile. In this case, the detection unit 21 is inserted into the tubular portion 12a from within the resistance box housing space R. The harness 23 is inserted from the resistance box housing space R into the bending portion 12d. Further, since the front end of the protective cover 14 in the extending direction opens the resistance box housing space R to the side, the resistance box 22 starts from the open portion of the resistance box housing space R. It accommodates in the accommodation space R. Thereby, the resistance box 22 can be easily assembled | attached to the molded object 10 for motor vehicles. The outer surface of the resistance box 22 is covered with the protective cover 14.

  Thereafter, when the automobile molded body 10 is assembled to the vehicle slide door D, the automobile molded body 10 is inserted into the flange portion D3 of the vehicle slide door D. At this time, since the protective cover 14 extends from the root side of the flange portion D3 located on the rear side of the resistance box 22 in the front end direction (front side) of the flange portion D3, the flange portion D3 is connected to the protective cover 14. Will move along the outside of the passenger compartment and will not be accidentally inserted into the resistance box housing space R. And since the flange part D3 is inserted so that the extension direction of the protective cover 14 may be followed, when the molded object 10 for motor vehicles is assembled | attached to the slide door D for vehicles, an assembly | attachment malfunction becomes difficult to occur.

  Further, it is conceivable that the front end of the flange portion D3 hits the vertical wall portion 14b during the insertion into the flange portion D3. In this case, the vertical wall portion 14b is pushed forward, but the vertical wall portion 14b is continuous with the deformable portion 14c, so that the front end side (outside of the passenger compartment) of the vertical wall portion 14b is displaced forward. The deforming portion 14c is deformed so as to rotate toward the vehicle interior side. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the fact that the front end portion of the flange portion D3 is caught by the vertical wall portion 14b and cannot be attached, and can be inserted to a predetermined position. When the flange portion D3 is inserted to a predetermined position, the shape of the deformable portion 14c is restored, and the vertical wall portion 14b and the contact portion 14a return to the predetermined position.

  Next, the fixing portion 16 of the extension plate portion 15 is fixed to the fixing hole D5 of the vehicle sliding door D. At this time, when the convex portions 16a and 16b of the fixing portion 16 are inserted into the fixing hole D5 of the vehicle sliding door D, the convex portions 16a and 16b are elastically deformed in a direction approaching each other, and the convex portions 16a and 16b are deformed. The distal end side passes through the fixing hole D5, and then the shapes of the convex portions 16a and 16b are restored, so that the distal end side of the convex portions 16a and 16b is locked to the peripheral portion of the fixing hole D5. Thereby, since the fixing | fixed part 16 is fixed to the vehicle slide door D, the position shift of the protective cover 14 is suppressed, and the resistance box 22 accommodated in the resistance box accommodating space R is reliably protected by the protective cover 14. The Therefore, it is possible to prevent the resistance box 22 from hitting the flange portion D3 and prevent the generation of abnormal noise.

  Here, in order to assemble the automobile molded body 10 to the vehicle slide door D, the fixing portion 16 in the extension plate portion 15 of the lower molded body 13 is first fixed to the vehicle interior side of the vehicle slide door D. You may fix and position to the hole D5. In this case, after positioning, the outer wall portion 13c of the lower molding portion 13 left on the vehicle interior side of the vehicle slide door D is extended outside the front end in the extending direction of the flange portion D3, and the step portion It can also be brought into contact with 13g. Even in this case, since the protective cover 14 extends from the base side (rear side) of the flange portion D3 toward the front end direction (front side) of the flange portion D3, the front end in the extending direction of the flange portion D3 is vertical when attached. It does not get caught on the wall 14b. Further, the protective cover 14 is made of a rubber-like elastic body, and the contact portion 14a, the vertical wall portion 14b, and the deformable portion 14c are connected to each other at an angle. The protective cover 14 is greatly bent and deformed in the front-rear direction and the vehicle interior / exterior direction, and can be guided to the stepped portion 13g as a desired fixed position without hindering the insertion of the flange portion D3. The remaining portion above the lower molding portion 13 can be sequentially inserted into the flange portion D3.

  For example, when the fixing portion 16 is fixed, the hook portion 18 is bent to the vehicle interior side below the fixing portion 16 of the extension plate portion 15 due to the presence of the hook portion 18 as shown by an imaginary line in FIG. In some cases, the hook portion 18 can be inserted into the drain hole D4 while the extension plate portion 15 is pulled downward, and can be hooked and engaged with the upper edge portion of the drain hole D4. Thereby, since the drain hole D4 is covered with the flap part 17, the noise which penetrate | invades directly into a vehicle interior from the drain hole D4 can be reduced. Moreover, since the flap part 17 is integrally molded in the molded article 10 for automobiles, the number of parts can be reduced and the assembly process can be reduced.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, since the distal end portion in the extending direction of the protective cover 14 is formed so as to open the resistance box housing space R to the side, the resistance box 22 is molded for automobiles. It can be easily assembled to the body 10. And since the protective cover 14 is extended from the base side of the flange part D3 located in the back side rather than the resistance box 22 to the front-end | tip direction (front side) of this flange part D3, this flange part D3 is resistance box accommodation space part It is not erroneously inserted into R, and an assembly failure is less likely to occur when the automobile molded body 10 is assembled to the vehicle slide door D.

  Further, since the contact portion 14a of the protective cover 14 extends along the side surface of the flange portion D3 of the vehicle sliding door D, the contact portion 14a of the protective cover 14 is brought into surface contact with the flange portion D3 and stably. It is easy to be fixed and can secure sufficient sealing performance.

  Further, since the vertical wall portion 14b perpendicular to the contact portion 14a is provided on the base end side of the protective cover 14 in the extending direction, the displacement of the resistance box 22 can be suppressed by the vertical wall portion 14b.

  Further, since the deformable portion 14c is provided on the base end side in the extending direction from the vertical wall portion 14b in the protective cover 14, when the flange portion D3 is caught by the vertical wall portion 14b, the catch can be eliminated. The part D3 can be reliably inserted to a predetermined position.

  Further, since the fixing portion 16 fixed to the vehicle slide door D is provided on the extending plate portion 15 extending in the opposite direction to the extending direction of the protective cover 14, the displacement of the protective cover 14 is suppressed and resistance is increased. The box 22 can be reliably protected by the protective cover 14, and the resistance box 22 can be prevented from hitting the flange portion D <b> 3 to prevent the generation of abnormal noise.

  Further, the extending plate portion 15 has a flap portion 17 for closing the drain hole D4 of the vehicle slide door D, and the fixing portion 16 is positioned between the flap portion 17 and the protective cover 14. Therefore, the function of the flap part 17 and the function of the protective cover 14 can be surely exhibited without moving the flap part 17 and the protective cover 14 by the fixing part 16.

  In addition, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the molded object 10 for motor vehicles was attached to the slide door D for vehicles, not only this but not illustrated, For example, the back door (opening-closing body) attached via the hinge, for example You may make it attach to the flange part, the flange part of a pillar, and the flange part of a front door. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the structure which clamps the front-end | tip of a flange part was shown as a fixing method to the flange part of the molded object for motor vehicles, it is not limited to this, For example, either one or both walls inside and outside a vehicle interior There may be a structure fixed by a tape or the like. When attaching to the flange part of a pillar, the fixing | fixed part 16 can also be fixed to the fixing hole formed in the pillar.

  The above-described embodiment is merely an example in all respects and should not be interpreted in a limited manner. Further, all modifications and changes belonging to the equivalent scope of the claims are within the scope of the present invention.

  As described above, the automobile molded body provided with the pinching detection sensor according to the present invention can be attached to, for example, a slide door, a back door, a pillar, or the like.
