[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sliding window for a vehicle.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a conventional sliding window for a vehicle, for example, one described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-223 is known. This sliding window for vehicles has a structure in which two glass doors (opening and closing bodies) are slidably mounted on the sash of the vehicle body, and when one glass door is closed, the other glass door is pushed outward. ing.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, since the structure is provided with the sash, it is difficult to make the glass door (opening / closing body) flush with the sash and the vehicle body (so-called flash surface), and wind noise is generated. There was a problem that it occurred and it looked bad. In addition, since one glass door pushes the other glass door, there is a large driving resistance and there is a difficulty in smooth opening and closing.

By the way, a sliding roof device described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 62-16020 is known as a means for opening and closing an opening in a vehicle, which is different from a sliding window. In this device, a rail is installed on a frame provided on the indoor side of the opening at a position where the two lids overlap with the indoor side, and a link for moving the lid up and down between the rail and the lid. It has a structure with a mechanism. Therefore, according to this device, the lid and the vehicle body can be made flush with each other, but since the rail is provided on the frame on the indoor side so as to overlap with the lid, the rail is inevitably in the chamber of the lid. Since it protrudes inward, there is a problem that the amount of protrusion to the interior side becomes large and the cabin space is narrowed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems. A sliding window for a vehicle that can achieve a flash surface when closed and can reduce the amount of indoor projection when opened. Is intended to provide.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the sliding window for a vehicle of the present invention has an opening formed in a side wall of a vehicle body and slides on a first guide rail and a second guide rail provided along side edges of the opening. A first opening / closing body and a second opening / closing body for opening and closing the opening by being guided are provided, and both the opening / closing bodies are arranged on the substantially same plane when closed and between both guide rails and the opening / closing body. A tilt mechanism is provided to support the opening / closing bodies so that they can be moved in the room so that the opening / closing bodies are not overlapped with each other in the sliding direction, and the slide mechanism is slidably supported by both guide rails. The rail and the second guide rail are attached to the side wall of the vehicle body on the side edge of the opening.

[0007]

[Action]

 When closed, the first and second opening / closing bodies are arranged on substantially the same plane. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the generation of wind noise and improve the appearance.

When opening one or both of the two opening / closing bodies, the tilt mechanism moves one of the opening / closing bodies to a position where it does not overlap the other opening / closing body in the sliding direction, and the first and second guide rails are moved. Slide guide along.

Further, in the present invention, since the first and second guide rails are provided on the side wall of the vehicle body on the side edge of the opening, both guide rails are arranged so as to largely project to the indoor side with respect to the opening / closing body. It is possible to reduce the amount of protrusion of the device toward the passenger compartment.

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 are perspective views showing a schematic structure of a sliding window for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention provided on a side surface of a vehicle. FIG. 1 is a closed state and FIG. 2 is an open state. It shows the state. As shown in these drawings, a windshield (first opening / closing body) FG and a rear glass (second opening / closing body) RG are provided to cover the opening 1 opened in the side panel (vehicle body side wall) S. Has been. Plate-like brackets 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b are attached above and below the two glasses FG, RG, respectively. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3 (corresponding to the S3-S3 cross section of FIG. 1), this bracket 2a is for attaching the weather strip 4 formed of an elastic material to the outer peripheral edge of the front glass FG. The retainer 5 is attached to the retainer 5 with the end edge of the windshield FG sandwiched therebetween by bolts 6 and nuts 7. The other brackets 2b, 3a, 3b also have the same mounting structure. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the side panel S is formed by joining the panel inner si and the panel outer so so as to form a space portion ss therebetween, and the side panel S of the opening 1 is formed. A joint sw of both panels si and so is formed at a portion which becomes an edge.

Further, around the opening 1, a substantially U-shaped front rail (first guide rail) 8 and a rear rail (second guide rail) 9 for slidingly guiding both glasses FG and RG back and forth. Is provided. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, both guide rails 8 and 9 include slide guide portions 8a and 9a extending in the front-rear direction (FR direction in the figure) and a connecting portion 8b extending vertically. 9b and. As shown in FIG. 4, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line S4-S4 of FIG. 2, the rails 8 and 9 are side edges of the opening 1 and face the interior IN side of the panel inner si. In addition, the rail opening is installed toward the passenger compartment IN side, and the slide guide portion 8a of the front rail 8 and the slide guide portion 9a of the rear rail 9 are vertically adjacent to each other. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the slide guide portions 8a and 9a of both rails 8 and 9 are provided with slider grooves 8d and 9d each having a substantially T-shaped cross section. Wire grooves 8e and 9e are formed on both sides of the slider grooves 8d and 9d. The wire grooves 8e and 9e are pushed and pulled by the motors Mf and Mr provided at the centers of the connecting portions 8b and 9b. The wire 10 is arranged slidably.

Further, a front tilt mechanism 11 and a rear tilt mechanism 12 are provided between the brackets 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b of the both glasses FG, RG and the rails 8, 9. Next, the both tilt mechanisms 11 and 12 will be described, but since both have substantially the same configuration, the configuration of the front tilt mechanism 11 will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. That is, the front tilt mechanism 11 has a slider 11a slidably accommodated in a slide guide portion 8a of a front rail 8, one end rotatably attached to the slider 11a by a shaft 11d, and the other end bracket 2a. It has a tilt link 11b rotatably attached by a shaft 11e, and supports a front glass FG movably in the vehicle width direction. As shown in FIG. 3, the front tilt mechanism 11 (rear tilt mechanism 12) arranges the windshield FG (rear glass RG) at a position where the edge thereof abuts on the joint sw and both glass FG, In the case of the front tilt mechanism 11, the front glass FG does not overlap the rear glass RG in the closed position, as shown in FIG. However, the rear tilt mechanism 12 does not overlap the rear glass RG with the windshield FG (FIG. 4) in the front open position from the closed position. It is set to the amount of movement to move to the rear open position. In FIG. 4, reference numerals 12a and 12b denote a slide and a tilt link that form the rear tilt mechanism 12, respectively.

Further, the front tilt mechanism 11 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 7, a guide roller 11c is provided at an intermediate portion of the tilt link 11b. The guide roller 11c is rollable along a roller guide groove 8f formed in a part of a side portion of the slider groove 8d of the front guide rail 8 as shown in the drawing, and A spring (not shown) is provided between the tilt link 11b and the slider 11a to bias the tilt link 11b in a direction in which the roller 11c is in pressure contact with the roller guide groove 8f. Further, as shown by a dotted line in FIGS. 7 and 8, a curved tilt guide portion 8g having a gradually changing depth in the indoor / outdoor direction is provided at the end of the roller guide groove 8f.

Therefore, when the slider 11a slides in the slider groove 8d, in the tilt guide portion 8g, the guide roller 11c is displaced in the indoor IN direction and the tilt link 11b rotates about the shaft 11d, whereby the windshield. FG moves in the room IN direction. Therefore, this amount of movement is the amount of change in the depth of the tilt guide portion 8g of the roller guide groove 8f and the lever ratio of the tilt link 11b (the distance between the shaft 11d and the guide roller 11c and the distance between the shaft 11e and the guide roller 11c. The distance can be set according to the distance, and the amount of movement is set as described above. Further, while the slider 11a and the tilt link 11b slide in the open slide direction when moving in the room IN direction as described above, at the same time, when the tilt link 11b rotates, the shaft 11e at the tip of the tilt link 11b moves. , The vehicle interior IN side and the closed slide direction are displaced. Therefore, in this embodiment, the amount of displacement of the tilt link 11b in the opening slide direction and the amount of displacement of the shaft 11e at the tip of the tilt link 11b in the closing slide direction are set to match, and the windshield FG is set. It is designed so that it will not be displaced in the open-sliding direction while it is being moved toward the passenger compartment IN.

Further, the rear glass RG has the same configuration, and as described above, only the movement amount in the room IN direction is set to be different.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described.

(A) Closed When both the front and rear glasses FG and RG are closed, both the glasses FG and RG are arranged in contact with the joint sw of the side panel S as shown in FIG. The surfaces of the glass FG and RG are arranged on the same plane. In addition, since no sash or the like is provided around both the glasses FG and RG, it is possible to prevent the generation of wind noise and improve the appearance.

(B) Opening When opening the windshield FG, the motor Mf is driven. Then, the slider 11 a is pulled by the wire 10 and slides on the front rail 8. Then, in the initial stage of this slide, the tilt link 11b is rotated by the guide roller 11c of the tilt link 11b being guided by the tilt guide portion 8g, whereby the windshield FG moves in the indoor IN direction to the front open position. Move and then slide backwards. Therefore, the windshield FG slides open without colliding with the rear glass RG.

The same applies when the rear glass RG is opened, and the motor Mr is driven. In this case, the amount of movement of the rear glass RG in the room IN direction is set to a large amount, and when the rear glass RG moves to the rear open position as shown in FIG. 4, it is more than the front windshield FG in the front open position. Located on the IN side of the room. Therefore, the rear glass RG slides open regardless of whether the windshield FG is located at the closed position or the front open position. When the windshield FG is sliding in the opening direction from the front open position, the rear glass RG cannot be opened because the windshield FG exists on the movement path of the rear glass RG. On the other hand, since the rear glass RG does not exist on the movement path of the windshield FG regardless of the closed position, the rear open position, and the open slide position, the windshield FG can be opened regardless of the position of the rear glass RG. Wear.

As described above, in the present embodiment, both the front and rear glasses FG and RG are arranged on substantially the same plane in the closed position so that the flash surface can be achieved. Since the front and rear guide rails 8 and 9 are provided at the side edge portion of the side panel S so as not to overlap the front and rear glasses FG and RG in the indoor IN direction, both guide rails 8 and 9 are As shown in FIG. 4, the front and rear windows FG and RG moved to the front open position and the rear open position are not arranged closer to the room IN side than the front and rear glasses FG and RG, so that the amount of projection into the room IN can be reduced. The effect is obtained.

Further, since the windshield FG and the rear glass RG slide independently, they can be driven smoothly.
