Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a door locking device for a vehicle, and is designed to eliminate erroneous operation and also to automatically lock the door by closing a side window.

FIG. 1 shows a side view of a vehicle to which the present invention is applied. This vehicle 1 includes a door 3 supported by a hinge (not shown) at the front of the vehicle body 2, and a side window 4 (made of a transparent synthetic resin plate) located at the top of the door 3. are manufactured separately, the door 3 opens outward, and the side window 4 is supported by the vehicle body 2.
It is a type that opens and closes by sliding vertically.

Vehicles of this type include those disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-4005 and Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-85364. Here, this Uchichi Tokko 1986-
The device disclosed in Publication No. 4005 will be explained using FIGS. 5 and 6. The vehicle 1 has a door 3 attached to the rear by a hinge (not shown), and a side window (window glass) 4.
is manufactured separately from this door 3.
The side window 4 is configured to open upward from the illustrated closed state. That is, the side window 4 is provided with a handle 21, and the handle 21 is opened by pulling upward from outside the vehicle or from inside the vehicle interior. The raised portion of the side window 4 is stored in a storage portion 23 formed in the roof 22, as shown in FIG.
For this reason, the side window 4 has an inwardly curved cross-sectional shape. The vehicle to which the present invention is applied is also of this type, and when the side window is pulled up, it is stored in a storage section formed in the roof.

Generally speaking, the opening and closing parts of a vehicle are designed to prevent car wash water and rainwater from entering the interior of the vehicle. Therefore, in the above-mentioned type of vehicle, the portion of the door 3 that receives the side window 4 is made thicker (width) so that the lower end of the side window comes into contact with that portion when the door is lowered. The inner part of the upper edge of the door 3 is made to protrude slightly from the other parts and overlap slightly with the lower end of the side window 4 in the closed state to prevent water from entering the room due to conduction.

When the door 3 and the side window 4 are arranged in this way, if the door 3 is opened without the lower end of the side window 4 rising above the upper end of the protrusion of the door 3, the protrusion of the door 3 will touch the protrusion of the side window 4. Since it acts in the direction of pushing out the lower end from the inside, there is a risk of damaging the side window 4. For this reason,
In a vehicle with such a structure, when opening or closing the door 3, first open the side window 4 upward, and then
It is necessary to operate door 3.

The present invention was developed in view of this point.
Therefore, in the vehicle having the above-described structure, when the side window is lowered and closed, the lower end of the side window locks the lock button provided at the upper end of the door, either directly or through a member attached to the lower end. It is configured to press downward.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. Reference numeral 5 represents a lock button, and door 3
It is attached to the upper end of a locking rod 8 provided between an outer panel 6 and an inner panel 7 (inside the door 3) that constitute the door. This lock button 5 protrudes from the door 3 via a bush 9. The lower end of the lock rod 8 is pivotally connected to the tip of a lock plate 12 whose base end is pivotally connected to a bracket 10 integral with the door 3 through a shaft 11.

The lock plate 12 has a recess 13 in the center as shown in FIG.
is engaged with the upper end of the door handle 14 when locked, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, to prevent the door handle 14 from rotating. door handle 14
The lower end is bifurcated, and the axis 1 is near the fork.
5, which is pivotally attached to the bracket 10. One of the lower ends is adapted to engage with one end of a lock plate 16 that engages with a lock fitting (not shown) on the vehicle body. Lock plate 16
When the lower end of the door handle 14 is engaged, the rotation is restricted and the opening and closing of the door 3 is locked.

As shown in FIG. 2, the upper part of the outer panel 6 is bent toward the inner panel 7, and the upper end is directed upward to the vehicle body 2. Lock button 5 is
In the locked position shown by the solid line in the figure, it is lower than the upper end of the outer panel 6 thus formed, and in the unlocked position it protrudes from the upper end of the outer panel 6, as shown by the broken line in the figure. A projecting piece 17 is fixed with a screw 18 near the lower end of the side window 4, and is adapted to press the lock button 5 downward when the side window 4 is lowered and closed. A weather strip 20 having a lip portion 19 inside is attached to the lower end of the side window 4. The lip part 19 is the lock button 5
It faces the inside of the head.

This door lock device configured in this way is
It works as follows. First, when you get on the vehicle, close the door 3, and lower the side window 4, the lip 19 of the weather strip 20 will hit the head of the lock button 5, and push it down to the solid line position shown in the figure, locking the door 3. do. The lip portion 19 is made flexible so that when it is temporarily deformed and the side window 4 is closed securely as shown in FIG. let When the lock button 5 cannot be pushed completely by the lip portion 19, the protrusion 17 will push it.

Next, when opening the door 3 to exit the vehicle, pull the lock button 5 upward to the position shown by the broken line.
This operation can be performed by opening the side window 4 upward and lifting the lock button 5 of the lip portion 19 of the weather strip 20 (see FIG. 4). When the lock button 5 is pulled upward, the lock plate 12 is locked via the lock rod 8.
3, the door handle 14 can be rotated freely and the door 3 can be opened and closed. When the side window 4 is open, the lock button 5 must be operated manually.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

By closing the side window, the door can be automatically locked. Also,
If the embodiment is implemented, unlocking can be automated.

Since erroneous operation when opening and closing the door can be prevented, the side window will not be damaged.

It can have both the safety lock function of a general vehicle door and the automatic lock function.

Since it has a simple structure, it is advantageous in terms of cost.
