This publication discloses a device in which a shade is clipped to the inner surface of the opening/closing body.

``Problem that the invention aims to solve'' However, in such conventional sunroof devices, the opening/closing body and the shade are integrally combined, so when the installation of the opening/closing body is adjusted, the shade also moves together. A difference in level occurs, making adjustment complicated.

In particular, sunroof devices equipped with an opening/closing body that can be opened and closed by either tilting or sliding have a more complex structure than sunroof devices that only slide or tilt, and the opening/closing body moves in a complicated manner. It is difficult to separately provide a shade, and there is a problem in that if the shade is easily provided, it becomes extremely difficult to assemble.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sunroof device for a vehicle having a shade that is simple in structure and easy to assemble.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The gist of the present invention to achieve this purpose is to provide an opening/closing body that can open and close the roof opening provided on the vehicle by either tilting or sliding, and to open and close the roof opening provided on the vehicle. In a sunroof device for a vehicle, the rear part of the shade opens and closes as the body tilts to open and close, and the shade also moves as the opening/closing body moves. The base base is fitted to the base base so as to be movable back and forth, and the base end of the opening/closing body is pivotally supported on the base base, so that the ceiling opening on the inside of the vehicle compartment can be covered, and the vehicle has shape retention and flexibility. and a front shade whose both edges are slidably fitted to the rails, and a rear shade which opens and closes as the opening and closing body is tilted, and which are foldably connected to each other. A locking member disposed below, pivoting the base of the shade support member to the end of a connecting link extending rearward from the base base, and having a resilient end for pressing the rear end of the rear shade against the shade support member. A locking spring is fixedly provided, a locking protrusion and a locking hole are provided on one and the other of the resilient end of the locking spring and the rear shade, and the rear shade is moved forward with respect to the shade supporting member. A sunroof device for a vehicle is characterized in that the two can be connected by connecting the two.

"Operation" The opening/closing body is slidably opened and closed by a base that moves along a rail provided at the side edge of the roof opening, and is also tilted to open and close about its base end.

The shade itself has shape retention and flexibility, and shields the ceiling opening on the inside of the vehicle compartment below the opening/closing body.

When the opening and closing body slides open and closed, the shade is pulled by the shade support member that moves together with the base and moves integrally with the opening and closing body.

When the opening/closing body tilts to open and close, the rear part of the shade is pulled to the rear end of the opening/closing body, the shade supporting member tilts around its base, the shade is broken at the middle part, and the rear part opens and closes integrally with the opening/closing body. do.

When installing the shade, the shade supporting member and the shade should not be solidified, and the shade should be in the sliding half-open position and the shade support member in the lid fully closed position, and the resilient end of the locking spring should be Press it against the surface of the shade.

When the shade is then moved forward to its normal position, the shade moves along the support surface, the locking protrusion and the locked hole engage with each other, and the shade and the shade support member are solidified. .

Even if the opening and closing body is moved up and down to adjust the installation, the height of the shade does not change as long as the base does not move, so there is no need to adjust the shade.

c is locked to the locking portion 69b and the locking protrusion 64
a and the locking hole 69a of the rear shade 60b are engaged with each other, and the rear shade 60b and the shade support member 65 are fixed together.

Even if the opening/closing body 20 is moved in the vertical direction to adjust the installation, the height of the shade 60 does not change unless the base 30 moves, so there is no need to adjust the shade 60.

FIG. 12 shows a state in which the opening/closing body 20 is tilted and fully opened, the drive base 50 is closest to the base base 30, and the cam follower 44 of the tilting member 14 is in the fully open guide portion 53a of the cam 53 of the drive base 50. It is located and stopped.

The brake engaging portion 47 of the connecting member 45 is connected to the roof opening 1.
The movement of the brake base 40 is restricted by engaging with the notch 14a of the first rail 14, and the raising/lowering member 41 restricts the opening degree of the opening/closing body 20 and restrains it from sliding. As can be seen in FIG. 15, the shade holding pin 56 of the drive base 50 is fitted into the fitting recess 68a of the shade supporting member 65, thereby suppressing the shaking of the shade 60 and rear shade 60b.

When the electric motor 12a of the drive section 12 is operated and the geared cable 13 is moved vertically by the drive gear 12b, the drive base 50 fixed to the geared cable 13 is driven to move rightward in FIG. The cam follower 44 of the raising/lowering member 41 is the fully open guide portion 5 of the cam 53 of the drive base 50.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the cam follower 44 of the raising/lowering member 41 reaches the fully closed guide portion 53c at the rear end of the cam 53 of the drive base 50, the sealing member 23 comes into close contact with the sealing surface 15 of the roof opening 11. Opening/closing body 20
tilts and closes completely.

When the drive base 50 is moved to the left in FIG. 5 and returned from the state where the opening/closing body 20 is tilted and fully closed, the opening/closing body 20 and the cover plate 21 are tilted and fully opened in the opposite operation to the above. I can do it.

As the opening/closing body 20 is tilted and opened/closed, the rear part of the shade 60 is pulled up to the free end of the opening/closing body 20 via the spring 66, the shade support member 65 swings around its base, and the shade 60 is bent to release the opening/closing body. 20
Opens and closes with.

When the drive base 50 is moved to the right in FIG. 5 from the fully closed state where the opening/closing body 20 is tilted,
As the drive base 50 moves, the holding pin 55 enters from the front and fits into the fitting groove 26 of the holding member 27 fixed to the support frame 24 of the opening/closing body 20,
The free end portion of the opening/closing body 20 is held so as to suppress displacement in the vertical direction. This state is a completely closed state.

When the braking base 40 is further moved to the right from the completely closed state, the cam follower 44 of the raising member 41
moves within the retractable guide portion 53d of the groove-shaped cam 53 of the drive base 50, and the tilting member 41 further collapses.
The rear end of the cover plate 21 and the seal member 23 are recessed inward from the rear roof 10. As seen in FIG. 14, the shade retaining pin 56 of the drive base 50
slips out of the fitting recess 68a of the shade support member 65.

When the drive base 50 moves until the cam follower 44 of the raising/lowering member 41 reaches the rear end of the retractable guide portion 53d of the groove-shaped cam 53, the engagement pin 51 enters the engagement groove 46 of the connecting member 45 from the entry opening. , the push-down inclined portion is pushed down, and the connecting member 45 is reversed in a seesaw motion against the biasing force of the biasing spring 48.

When the distal end of the connecting member 45 is lowered, the brake engaging portion 47 rises and disengages from the notch 14a of the rail 14, releasing the restricted state with the rail 14. The engagement pin 51 of the drive base 50 is in a position where it can engage with the locking jaw of the engagement groove 46, and the brake base 40 is in the state shown in FIG. 13 in which it can move rearward. 1st
As can be seen in FIG. 6, the shade holding pin 56 of the drive base 50 is fitted into the fitting recess 68b of the shade support member 65 to suppress rattling of the rear shade 60b.

When the drive base 50 is moved rearward, the brake base 40 is pushed by the drive base 50, slides rearward, and is housed under the roof 10 of the opening/closing body 20, opening the front part of the roof opening 11.

When the opening/closing body 20 slides and moves considerably and opens the front part of the roof opening 11, the pressing surface 29 of the pushing part 28 of the opening/closing body 20 is removed from the upper part of the support arm 72, and the spring 74 is attached. The support arm 72 stands up due to the force. The blade 71 protrudes above the roof and rectifies the flow near the opening opened at the front of the roof opening 11.

When the drive base 50 is returned from the open state and the opening/closing body 20 is closed, the brake engaging portion 47 rides on the surface of the rail 14, so the connecting member 45 cannot be reversed and the drive base 50 is not engaged. pin 5
1 hooks the locking jaws of the engagement groove 46 of the connecting member 45 and pulls the brake base 40 forward.

In this way, the movement of the brake base 40 causes the opening/closing body 20 to slide and open/close. As the opening/closing body 20 slides, the shade support member 65 moves, and thereby the shade 60 also moves.

When the fully closed state is reached, the brake engaging portion 47 of the connecting member 45 falls into engagement with the rail 14 of the roof opening 11, and becomes in a state to restrict the forward movement of the opening/closing body 20, and then the opening/closing body 20 is fully closed. At this time, the pressing surface 2 of the pressing portion 28 of the opening/closing body 20
9 rides on the support arm 72, the support arm 72 falls down against the biasing force of the spring 74, and the blade 71 is retracted and stored under the roof.

When the brake base 40 is further moved to the left, the opening/closing body 20 is tilted to the above-mentioned state where it can be opened and closed.

"Effect of the invention" According to the vehicle sunroof device according to the invention,
The sunroof system for vehicles has a shade that operates differently from the opening/closing body, and has a simple structure and easy assembly, so adjusting the opening/closing body does not disrupt the installation of the shade, and it is easy to assemble. It is simple and can be a functional device.
