JPH05229342A - Actuator mounting structure for power door lock device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the mounting of a side door glass to a window regulator by rotatably mounting the actuator of a power door lock device on a door latch assembly. CONSTITUTION:When an actuator 10 is clockwise rotated, the mounting hole 18 to door glass of the glass bottom channel 17 of a window regulator can be seen through the service hole 19 of a door inner panel. Thus, the actuator 10 may be fixed with a bolt 16 after a door glass is mounted on the glass bottom channel 17 in this state. The reason why the actuator 10 can be rotated in this way is that an output lever 11 is laid in rotatable state by stroke quantity at the non-operation of the actuator 10.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an actuator mounting structure for a power door lock device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a side door of an automobile, when a door glass is attached, a glass bottom channel b of a window regulator a is lowered to a position where a service hole c can be seen, as shown in FIG. The door glass d is fixed to b. By the way, in the device provided with the power door lock device, the actuator f is arranged obliquely below the door latch assembly e. Conventionally, the actuator f has been welded to the door latch assembly e. Therefore, when the door glass d is fixed after the power door lock device is assembled, the fixing portion g of the glass bottom channel b is hidden behind the actuator f. It was difficult to do the work.

In view of such circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide an actuator mounting structure for a power door lock device which can easily mount a door glass.

[0004]

According to the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems, a fixed position of a window regulator and a door glass is arranged behind a power door lock device actuator so as to be hidden from a service hole. In a side door of an automobile, the actuator is rotatably attached to a door latch assembly.

1 shows a power door lock device of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a door latch assembly, to a base bracket 2 of which a locking control lever 3 and an inside locking lever 4 are pivotally connected by rivets 5 and 6, respectively. These levers 3, 4
Are linked to each other by connecting the protrusion 8 of the locking control lever 3 to the elongated hole 7 of the locking lever 4 (see FIG. 3). Further, a latch base bracket 9 is pivotally connected to the base bracket 2 of the door latch assembly 1 by a rivet 5 together with a locking control lever 3, and an actuator 10 is attached to the bracket 9. The output lever 11 of the actuator 10 is linked with the lever 3 by engaging the protrusion 12 thereof with the elongated hole 13 of the locking control lever 3. The locking control lever 3 is linked to the latch mechanism of the door latch assembly 1 via a connecting member 14, and the inside locking lever 4 is linked to the inside locking knob via a rod 15. The actuator 10 is fixed to the door panel with bolts 16.

Now, when the actuator 10 is operated, the output lever 11 rotates by θ about the point 0 to reach the position of the chain double-dashed line, the levers 3 and 4 rotate in the directions of arrows B and C, respectively, and the door The latch mechanism of the Larry assembly 1 is locked.

Since this embodiment is constructed in this way,
When the actuator 10 is rotated clockwise as shown in FIG. 2, the mounting hole 18 of the window bottom glass 17 of the window regulator for the door glass becomes visible through the service hole 19 of the door inner panel. Therefore, in this state, the glass bottom channel 17
After attaching the door glass with, the actuator 10 may be fixed with the bolt 16. By the way, the reason why the actuator 10 can be rotated in this manner is that the output lever 11 is rotatable by the stroke (angle θ) when the actuator 10 is not operated.

Since the actuator 10 is linked to the door latch assembly 1 via such a link mechanism, it cannot rotate beyond the range shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Therefore, there is no possibility that the actuator 10 largely fluctuates during the assembly process and the work is hindered. Also,
By rotating the actuator 10, there is also an effect that interference with the door trim clip can be avoided.

In this embodiment, the projection 12 is fixed to the output lever 11 of the actuator 10, but the projection 1
The output lever 11 may be attached to and detached from the output lever 11, and the protrusion 12 may be attached after the door glass is attached so that the output lever 11 is linked to the locking control lever 12.

[0010]

According to the present invention, the door glass can be attached by rotating the actuator so that the fixing portion of the window regulator and the door glass can be seen from the service hole, which facilitates the work.
