Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is a vehicle in which a window glass, which is vertically movable and is interposed between an outer panel and an inner panel constituting a vehicle door, is raised and lowered as necessary. This invention relates to improvements in the structure of wind regulators.

(Prior Art) Vehicle doors, particularly automobile doors, are equipped with a window glass that can be raised and lowered between an outer panel and an inner panel that constitute the door, and the window glass can be raised and lowered as necessary. A so-called wind regulator device is known as the device.

One example of this is a wind regulator described in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 17473/1983. This includes a bracket that slides along a guide rail arranged in the vertical direction and to which a window glass is fixed, and a bracket that is stretched between the upper and lower ends of the guide rail via a guide member and a cable guide.
and a cable member connected to the bracket, and a drive device having both ends thereof fixed to each other to drive the cable member,
By rotating the drive shaft of the drive device using a control lever and moving the cable member, the window glass is raised and lowered up and down via the bracket connected to the cable member.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) By the way, in cable-type wind regulator devices such as the above-mentioned conventional example, compared to when the regulator device was first assembled to the vehicle body,
As the cable is used, the cable member connected to the window glass for raising and lowering the window glass will stretch, and the tensioned state of the cable member will be impaired. In this case, the cable member will vibrate when the vehicle equipped with the window regulator device is running, and in such a situation, the drive device that drives the cable member to raise and lower the window glass will vibrate. If you operate the control lever in
Due to the vibration of the cable member, the operating feel of the operating lever becomes heavy, resulting in a significant deterioration in operability. On the other hand, when assembling the above-mentioned wind regulator device to the vehicle body, usually
After the guide rail, cable member, and drive device for driving the cable member are assembled to the vehicle body side, for example, to the inner panel side of the door, the window glass is assembled to the bracket fixed to the cable member. However, before the window glass is assembled, the bracket is only fixed to the cable member, so the bracket can move relatively freely. The sway caused the assembly work to get in the way, reducing work efficiency.

The present invention addresses the above-mentioned problems and improves operability even when the cable member connected to the window glass and used to raise and lower the window glass stretches. It is an object of the present invention to enable a window glass to be raised and lowered smoothly without causing deterioration, and to improve assembly work efficiency when assembling the window regulator device to a vehicle body side.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized by the following configuration.

That is, in a vehicle window regulator structure in which a window glass interposed between an outer panel and an inner panel constituting a door is raised and lowered along a guide member disposed in the vertical direction, the lower end of the window glass A carrier plate to which is attached, a cable member connected to the carrier plate, and a driving means for moving the carrier plate in the vertical direction along the guide member by driving the cable member to raise and lower the window glass. A cable holding member that slidably holds the cable member is fixed to the guide member, and is attached to the cable holding member so as to come into contact with the carrier plate when the wind regulator device is assembled to the vehicle body. It is characterized by forming a temporary fixing convex portion for fixing the carrier plate in a temporarily fixed state.

(Function) According to the above configuration, when the cable member connected to the window glass and driven by the drive means to raise and lower the window glass in the vertical direction along the guide member is stretched; Also, since the cable holding member that slidably holds the cable member is fixed to the guide member, vibration of the cable member can be reliably prevented. This makes it possible to smoothly raise and lower the window glass without deteriorating the operability when the cable member is driven by the driving means to raise and lower the window glass as necessary.

By the way, when assembling the guide member etc. to the vehicle body, the cable member to which the guide member or carrier plate is fixed and the driving means for driving the cable member are usually installed on the vehicle body side, for example, inside the door. After being attached to the panel side, the window glass is assembled to the carrier plate fixed to the cable member.
Before the window glass is assembled, the carrier plate is only fixed to the cable member, so the carrier plate can move relatively freely. When the guide member, etc. is attached to the inner panel, it becomes unstable and becomes a hindrance to the assembly work, reducing work efficiency. However, according to the present invention, the cable holding member is attached to the carrier plate. Since a temporary fixing convex part is formed which abuts and fixes the carrier plate in a temporarily fixed state, the carrier plate is temporarily fixed by the temporary fixing convex part and the carrier plate does not move inadvertently. This can further improve the ease of assembly when assembling the guide member and the like to the vehicle body. Moreover, since the temporary fixing convex part is provided on the cable holding member, there is no need for a special member to provide the temporary fixing convex part, and the carrier plate can be temporarily fixed with a simple structure. Become.

(Example) Examples of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 shows a partially cutaway view of an automobile door to which a vehicle window regulator structure according to the present invention is applied. A storage section 5 for storing a window glass 4 is provided between the two panels 2 and 3. Further, within this storage section 5, guide rails 7, 7 are provided for guiding the window glass 4 in the vertical direction when the window glass 4 is raised and lowered by a window regulator device 6, which will be described in detail later. Each of the guide rails 7, 7 is vertically fixed to the inner surface of both sides of the inner panel 3 via a plurality of fixing means 8, such as bolts. Guide rollers 9, 9 are rotatably supported below both sides of the window glass 4, and these guide rollers 9, 9 are respectively engaged in the guide rails 7, 7. As a result, a state in which the window glass 4 is guided in the vertical direction as shown by a solid line as shown in the figure, and
As shown by the chain line, it can be moved up and down between the state where it is stored in the storage section 5 and the state where it is stored.

In this embodiment, the window regulator device 6 for raising and lowering the window glass 4 is configured as follows. That is, in this regulator device 6, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG.
The guide member 1 is fixedly installed on the inner surface side of the inner panel 3 (see FIG. 1) through the guide member 13.

22, and as shown in the figure, a guide roller 23 is rotatably pivotally connected to the carrier plate 20 and the glass bracket 21, and the guide roller 23 is engaged with the guide member 10. By being
It is designed to be able to move up and down along the guide member 10. As a result, by rotating the operating lever 24, which is integrally attached to the drive shaft 18a of the drive means 18 and disposed inside the vehicle interior, in a predetermined direction, the cable member 15 is moved to the second position.
As shown in the figure, the glass bracket 21 is moved in the direction of the arrow A or the direction of the arrow B depending on the rotational direction of the operating lever 24, and accordingly, the glass bracket 21 is integrally attached to the carrier plate 20 fixed to the cable member 15. The window glass 4 is configured to be raised and lowered up and down through.

However, in this embodiment, the cable holding member 25 that slidably supports the cable member 15 is
is fixed at a predetermined position on the guide member 10, and this cable holding member 25 is fixed to the guide member 10 by, for example, welding, and as shown enlarged in FIG. The locking portion 25a formed in the outer member 16
By locking the outer member 16a, the cable portion 15 inserted into the outer member 16a is slidably held. By the way, when assembling the wind regulator device 6 of this embodiment to a vehicle body, first, the mounting members 11 and 12 fixedly attached to the upper and lower ends of the guide member 10, respectively, and these mounting members 11, After the cable member 15 stretched between the cable members 12 and the driving means 18 for driving the cable member 15 are attached to the inner panel 3 (see FIG. 1), the carrier plate 20 fixed to the cable member 15 is attached. The window glass 4 is assembled via the glass bracket 21, but the carrier plate 20 is only fixed to the cable member 15 before the window glass 4 is assembled. 20 is in a state where it can move relatively freely, and for this reason, the carrier plate 2
0, when the mounting members 11, 12, etc. are mounted on the inner panel 3, the mounting members 11, 12, etc. are unsteady and become a hindrance to the mounting work, resulting in a decrease in work efficiency. Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. A temporary fixing convex portion 25b that comes into contact with the surface of the carrier plate 20 and restrains the movement of the carrier plate 20 is formed.

According to the above configuration, the mounting members 11, 1
Even if the cable member 15 stretched between the cable members 15 and 2 is stretched, the outer member 16a through which the cable member 15 is slidably inserted is reliably held by the locking portion 25a of the cable holding member 25. Therefore, the cable member 1 while traveling
This means that the vibration of No. 5 can be reliably prevented. Therefore, even if the cable member 15 is stretched, the cable member 15 can be driven by operating the operating lever 23 in the drive means 18 to raise and lower the window glass 4 as necessary. Therefore, the window glass 4 can be smoothly raised and lowered as required.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, there are mounting members 11 and 12 fixedly installed at both upper and lower ends of the guide member constituting the wind regulator device 6 of this embodiment, and tension between these mounting members 11 and 12. When attaching the installed cable member 15 and the driving means 18 for driving the cable member 15 to the inner panel 3 (see FIG. 1), as shown in the figure,

The carrier plate 20 is pressed against the temporary fixing convex portion 25b formed on the back surface of the cable holding member 25 and on the back surface side of the cable holding member 25, so that movement of the carrier plate 20 is restrained and the carrier plate 20 can be fixed in a temporarily fixed state. Thereby, unnecessary movement of the carrier plate 20 can be reliably prevented, and the ease of assembly when assembling the wind regulator device 6 to the inner panel 3 side can be further improved.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the invention, in the cable-type wind regulator device, the cable member connected to the window glass and driven by the driving means to raise and lower the window glass has an elongation. Even in such cases, the vibration of the cable member is reliably suppressed, and as a result, when the cable member is driven by the driving means to raise and lower the window glass as necessary, the operability is not deteriorated and the window glass can be moved. In addition to being able to move up and down reliably and smoothly, the cable holding member is formed with a temporary fixing convex part for temporarily fixing the carrier plate, so that the carrier plate is temporarily fixed by the temporary fixing convex part. hand,
This prevents the carrier plate from moving unintentionally, thereby further improving the ease of assembly when the wind regulator device is attached to the vehicle body. Moreover, since the temporary fixing convex part is provided on the cable holding member, there is no need for a special member for providing the temporary fixing convex part, and the carrier plate can be temporarily fixed with a simple structure. .
