Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a vehicle window opening/closing device, and in particular to a vehicle window opening/closing device in which one end is pivoted to the opening edge of a window opening and the other end can be rotated to open/close. Regarding equipment.

[Prior Art] An example of such a switching device is shown in FIG. In the figure, the vehicle window W has an unillustrated upper end pivotally connected to the upper edge of the window opening, and the lower end can be opened by pushing outward. As shown in the figure, the opening/closing device has an operating lever 1 that can be grasped and pulled up by hand.The upper end of the lever 1 is pivoted to the window W, and the lower end is connected to one end of a link arm 2. The other end of the link arm 2 is connected to the upper end of a bracket 3' erected at the lower edge of the window opening.

When the lever 1 is pulled forward and then pulled up (arrow in the figure), the link arm 2 rotates outward and the window W is pushed open. In the illustrated state in which the window W is closed, the operating lever 1 and the link arm 2, which have slightly different rotation trajectories, are in a locked state.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, with the conventional opening/closing device described above, the operating lever must be operated in a relatively complicated trajectory especially when opening, so quick operation cannot be performed, and it is difficult for children etc. to operate it. was difficult.

Another problem was that it took time to assemble and adjust the operating lever and link arm so that they would be securely locked when closed.

The present invention is an attempt to solve these problems, and aims to provide a vehicle window opening/closing device that has excellent operability and can be reliably locked without requiring much time and effort in adjustment.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The configuration of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The vehicle window W has one end W1 pivoted to the window opening and the other end W2 pivoted toward the outside of the vehicle. Can be opened. The opening/closing device includes a link arm 2 whose base end 21 is pivoted to the edge of the opening near the other end W2 of the vehicle window W, and whose tip 22 is rotatable in and out of the opening, and the link arm 2 is rotated outside the opening. The main body is pivotally attached to the spring member 3 that provides dynamic bias and the tip 22 (FIG. 3) of the link arm 2, and the tip 11 is attached to the vehicle window W.
The operating lever 1 is pivoted to the other end W2 of the link arm 2, and the operating lever 1 is locked and fixed at the inner end rotation position of the link arm 2 in the protruding state, and the operating lever 1 is locked by the retracting operation. It is equipped with a locking member 4 that eliminates the problem.

[Operation] In the opening/closing device of the present invention, when the locking member 4 is moved in and out, the operation lever 1, which is locked and fixed thereto, is unlocked. Since the link arm 2 to which the main body of the operating lever 1 is pivoted is urged to rotate out of the opening by the spring member 3, when the locked state is released, the operating lever 1 is moved to the link arm 2. They are moved out of the opening in one piece. As a result, the vehicle window W is pushed open (FIG. 6).

When closing the vehicle window W, the operating lever 1 is rotated to the inner end. At the inner end rotation position, the operating lever 1 is locked and fixed to the locking member 4 in the protruding state, and is in a locked state.

[Effects] According to the present invention, the operation lever is automatically rotated by the biasing force of the spring member by simply retracting and retracting the locking member, and the vehicle window is opened. Therefore, even a child or the like can easily and quickly open the vehicle window. Further, since the conventional operation of gripping the operating lever, pulling it toward you, and then pulling it up can be omitted, the operating lever can be buried within the trim, and the sense of unity between the opening/closing device and the trim can be improved.

Furthermore, when the operating lever is rotated to the inward rotational end when the window is closed, the operating lever is reliably locked by the locking member at the inward rotational end. Therefore, there is no need to make adjustments to ensure reliable locking as in the prior art, and the window can be closed simply and quickly.

[Example] In FIGS. 1 to 3, the vehicle window W
The upper end W1 is connected to the upper edge of the window opening by a spring hinge 61, and the lower end W2 can be rotated and opened toward the outside of the vehicle (to the right in the figure). Inner panel P at the lower edge of the window opening
A base plate 5 is provided which is fixed to this at two places, upper and lower. The base plate 5 has a case shape with standing walls 51 at both side edges and a lower end, and the base end 21 of the link arm 2 is pivotally attached to the upper end of the base plate 5 by a pin 52. The link arm 2 consists of a pair of parallel legs connected by a pin 23 between the distal ends 22 (Fig. 4), and has a mounting hole 2 at the base end 21.
A coil spring 3 is disposed around the outer periphery of the pin 52 mounted on the pin 11, and the link arm 2 is biased upward around the pin 52 by the coil spring 3.

The tip of the vertical wall 51 of the base plate 5 is bent outward, and the trim M is held down at the bent portion.

An operating lever 1 is disposed within the upper half of the base plate 5. The operating lever 1 has a peripheral edge bent downward, and a bracket portion 12 protruding from the lower surface of the intermediate portion is rotatably connected to the pin 23 of the link arm 2. The front surface of the operating lever 1 is substantially flush with the end surface of the vertical wall 51 of the base plate 5, and a shallow recess 14 (second
Figure) is formed. The upper end of the operating lever 1 is pivoted to a bracket 62 provided at the lower end W2 of the vehicle window.

A locking member 4 is provided in the lower half of the base plate 5. The locking member 4 has a concave portion 41 on the front surface.
It is a molded plate body made of resin etc. formed with
As shown in the figure, the claw portions 42 protruding from the bent portions on both sides are pushed and fixed into oval locking holes 511 formed vertically in the vertical walls 51 on both sides of the base plate 5. The locking member 4 has a protruding claw portion 43 on the top surface opposite to the lower end surface of the operating lever 1. The operating lever 1 is fixed by fitting into a locking hole 13 formed on the lower end surface. The claw portion 43 has an inclined front surface.

The entire locking member 4 has spring properties, and a leg portion 44 formed at its lower end is brought into contact with the lower edge of the base plate 5.

In the switchgear with the above structure, as shown in Fig. 2,
When you put your hand on the concave part 41 of the locking member 4 and pull it downward, the locking member 4 deforms and moves downward, and the claw part 4
3 comes off from the locking hole 13. When the locked state is released, the link arm 2 biased by the coil spring 3 rotates upward around the pin 52 (Fig. 6),
Along with this, the operating lever 1 is rotated out of the window opening and pushes open the lower end W2 of the vehicle window W.

When closing the vehicle window W, the user puts his/her hand on the concave portion 14 of the operating lever 1 and rotates it inward. During this rotation, the operating lever 1 pushes down the claw portion 43 of the locking member 4 with its lower end surface, and the claw portion 43 inserts the leg portion 44 into the locking hole 13 of the operating lever 1 that has reached the inner end position. It is inserted again by the spring force. In this way, the operating lever can be locked reliably and easily.

In the above embodiment, the operating lever and the locking member are arranged to cover the base plate to hide the screw fixing part, and the operating lever and the locking member are arranged almost on the same plane as the end surface of the vertical wall to provide integrity. By doing this, the design quality has been greatly improved.

Furthermore, since the trim is held down by the vertical wall formed on the base plate, the design can be improved without providing a separate garnish.

The opening/closing device of the present invention can be suitably used for opening/closing a tilting sunroof, for example.

The installation position of the coil spring is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it may be provided so as to bias the operating lever to rotate out of the window opening.
