Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, since the above-mentioned structure is provided with a slide drive mechanism and a tilt drive mechanism, multiple drive sources and these drive sources can be adjusted in accordance with the tilt operation and slide operation of the opening/closing body. A control unit is required to drive and stop the vehicle, and the structure becomes complicated due to the multiple drive sources, control units, and wiring that electrically connects them, and the weight of the vehicle increases.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned tilt/slide device, when the center of rotation during tilt operation cannot be set at the end of the opening/closing body due to the arrangement around the vehicle body opening, but is set at the middle part of the opening/closing body in the longitudinal direction. In this case, there is a risk that a part of the vehicle body opening/closing body may interfere with the vehicle body opening during the tilt operation.

Therefore, the present invention is capable of tilting and sliding the opening/closing body with less driving force, and even when the center of rotation during the tilting operation is set at the middle part of the opening/closing body in the longitudinal direction, the vehicle body opening of the opening/closing body is To provide a tilt/slide device for an opening/closing body for an automobile that can prevent interference with parts of the vehicle.

Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention, a vehicle body side slide rail is fixed to the vehicle body opening, and the front part of a rear tilt channel arranged along the vehicle body side slide rail is rotatable. The drive shoe mechanism and the driven shoe mechanism are attached to the slide rail on the vehicle body side so that the drive shoe mechanism and the driven shoe mechanism can slide into and engage with each other in the front-rear direction, and an engagement/disengagement mechanism guide section is provided. connected by a bendable engaging/disengaging mechanism, and guiding the engaging/disengaging mechanism to bend and extend at the boundary between the tilting operation and the sliding operation of the opening/closing body at the engaging/disengaging mechanism guide section by driving a drive shoe mechanism;
The driving shoe mechanism and the driven shoe mechanism are configured to move toward and away from each other, a rear tilt lever is connected across the driven shoe mechanism and the rear channel, and an opening/closing side slide channel is fixed to the opening/closing body. A front tilt bracket is fixed to the front part of the opening/closing body, and the front tilt bracket is assembled so as to be slidable and engageable in the longitudinal direction of the rear tilt channel, and the front tilt bracket is formed with an inclined front tilt guide part. , the drive shoe mechanism is rotatably provided with an actuation arm, the distal end of the actuation arm is slidably connected to the front tilt guide hole so as to be freely engaged, and the rear tilt channel includes: A sliding member is provided in a protruding manner and serves as a rotational fulcrum when the opening/closing body is tilted, and this sliding member is attached to the sliding channel on the opening/closing body side so as to be able to slide in and engage with the opening/closing body in the front and rear directions.

Function: To open a closed door, the drive shoe mechanism is driven rearward along the slide rail on the vehicle body side. Then, since the locking/unlocking mechanism is extended,
The driven shoe mechanism moves backward along the slide rail on the vehicle body side together with the driving shoe mechanism, and the tip of the operating arm slides into the front tilt guide hole of the front tilt bracket and hits the rear end of the front tilt guide hole. The front tilt bracket moves rearward along the rear tilt channel while the rear tilt lever rotates rearward around the connection point with the rear tilt channel, causing the rear tilt channel to move around its front rotation point. The rear tilt channel tilts forward, and the front tilt bracket rises by the height of the tilt between the front tilt guide hole and the rear tilt channel. As the front tilt bracket rises, the front part of the opening/closing body rises around the sliding engagement point between the rear tilt channel and the sliding channel on the opening/closing body side, that is, performs a front tilt operation, and at the same time, the rear tilt channel rotates upward. As a result, the rear part of the opening/closing body rises around the rotation point of the rear tilt channel, that is, performs a rear tilt operation. As the front tilt operation and the rear tilt operation occur substantially simultaneously at the beginning of rotation of the opening/closing body, the entire opening/closing body rises diagonally rearward, and the vehicle body opening opens slightly. As the driving shoe mechanism continues to be driven, the locking/disengaging mechanism is guided to bend at the locking/disengaging mechanism guide portion, and the driven shoe mechanism is separated from the driving shoe mechanism and left behind.
The operating arm moves the front tilt bracket rearward along the forward tilted rear tilt channel while rising up around the connection point with the drive shoe mechanism, and the opening/closing body side slide channel moves the front tilt bracket through the opening/closing body. The entire opening/closing body moves rearward along the rear tilt channel, that is, slides, and the vehicle body opening is fully opened.

On the contrary, in order to close the opening/closing body that is currently open, the drive shoe mechanism is driven forward along the vehicle body side slide rail. Then, since the engagement/disengagement mechanism is bent, the driven shoe mechanism remains stopped.
The actuation arm moves forward. At this time, the weight of the opening/closing body is acting on the front tilt bracket, so the tip of the actuating arm collides with the rear end of the front tilt guide hole, and the front tilt bracket moves forward along the forward tilting rear tilt channel. As the opening/closing body moves, the opening/closing body side slide channel moves along the rear tilt channel via the opening/closing body as the front tilt bracket moves, and the entire opening/closing body moves forward along the rear tilt channel, that is, slides. , the vehicle body opening is closed to a slightly open position. By the subsequent driving of the driving shoe mechanism, the locking/disengaging mechanism is guided to extend at the locking/disengaging mechanism guide section, the driven shoe mechanism is connected to the driving shoe mechanism and tailgated along the vehicle body side slide rail, and the rear tilt lever is moved to the rear tilt position. The rear tilt channel rotates forward around the connection point with the channel and rotates downward around the rotation point of the rear tilt channel and its front part, and the rear tilt channel changes from a forward tilted state to a laid down state, while the front tilt The bracket stops sliding forward along the rear tilt channel, the tip of the actuating arm slides into the front tilt guide hole and moves to the front end of the front tilt guide hole, and the front tilt bracket moves forward. It descends by the tilt height of the tilt guide hole and the lodging height of the rear tilt channel. As the front tilt bracket lowers, the front part of the opening/closing body descends around the sliding engagement point between the rear tilt channel and the sliding channel on the opening/closing body side, that is, performs a front tilt operation, and the downward rotation of the rear tilt channel causes , the rear part of the opening/closing body descends around the rotation point of the rear tilt channel, that is, performs a rear tilt operation. By performing the front tilt operation and the rear tilt operation substantially simultaneously just before the end of the closing movement of the opening/closing body, the vehicle body opening is fully closed while the opening/closing body is lowered diagonally forward.

Pull it out to the front guide groove 2l, and press this wedge claw 5.
Due to the connection between a and the connecting roller 5e, the driven shoe mechanism 4 is brought along with the driving shoe mechanism 3, and as the driven shoe mechanism 4 moves forward in the direction of arrow _Z2 , the slide pin 4g is moved by the weight of the rear deck F. While in contact with the front end of the long groove 4e, the rear tilt lever 7 rotates forward and upward about the support shaft 7b, and the rear tilt channel 6 engages the pin 6 of the pin bracket 6a.
After swinging downward around b as the rotation center, the slide pin 4g collides with the front end 8g of the stopper guide groove 8h and moves forward together with the driven shoe mechanism 4 while running idle in the long groove 4e from the front end to the rear end. The latch pin 8b collides with the rear inclined surface 8e of the rear regulating mechanism 8, and the latch pin 8b is pulled into the receiving groove 8f, while the front carriage roller 9c of the front tilt bracket 9 guides the rear tilt channel 6. Groove 6c
At the same time, the slide pin 3l at the tip of the operating arm 3f of the drive shoe mechanism 3 slides through the front tilt guide hole 9d of the front tilt bracket 9 from the rear end to the front end. Then, the rear deck F is in the trunk room opening B.
The door is closed against the sealing reaction force caused by a weather strip (not shown) attached to the periphery of the door.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, at the boundary between the tilt operation and the slide operation by bending and extending the locking/disengaging mechanism,
The drive shoe mechanism and the driven shoe mechanism can be brought into contact and separated, and the driven shoe mechanism can be left behind or tailgated, so the tilt and slide operations of the opening/closing body can be performed using a single drive source without causing any problems in reducing the weight of the vehicle body. In addition, by tailgating the driven shoe mechanism, the rear tilt channel can be vertically swung around its front rotation point, and the front tilt bracket can be moved between the front tilt guide hole and the rear tilt channel. The front part of the opening/closing body is tilted forward around the sliding engagement point between the sliding channel on the opening/closing body side and the rear tilt channel, and the rear part of the opening/closing body is tilted backward. The rear tilt operation is performed around the rotation point of the channel, and the front and rear tilt operations of the opening and closing body proceed almost simultaneously, so that the entire opening and closing body rises diagonally rearward at the beginning of rotation.
Immediately before the end of the closing movement, the entire opening/closing body descends diagonally forward, allowing the opening/closing body to not only be opened/closed with a smaller driving force without interfering with the area around the vehicle body opening, but also to move the opening/closing body against the rear tilt channel. ,
When the opening/closing body is in the closed state, it is supported at at least two points by the sliding contact and engagement member of the rear tilt channel with the front tilt bracket and the rotation fulcrum that slides and engages with the rear tilt channel of the vehicle body side slide channel. In addition, when the opening/closing body is in the open state, at least the rear tilt channel slides into sliding contact with the front tilt bracket and the engaging member, and the rotation fulcrum that slides into and engages with the rear tilt channel of the vehicle body side slide channel and the rear thereof. Since it can be supported at three points with the rollers, the opening degree of the opening/closing body can be set to be larger than the length of the rear tilt channel, and it has a great practical effect of preventing the opening/closing body from wobbling during opening/closing movements.
