As described above, according to the sunroof device of the present invention, in the fully closed state in which the slide panel closes the opening of the roof panel, the tilting cam is provided along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. When the flap cam moves forward along with the tilt cam along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail to the front of the vehicle body, the front end of the tilt cam comes into contact with the rear end of the guide body, and at the same time, the flap cam moves. Since the rear end of the cam is separated from the front end of the guide body, the guide body can be moved forward of the vehicle body along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail by the tilt cam, and the first tilt link of the second tilt link can be moved. At the same time as the engagement pin is driven downward while engaging with the tilt cam, the second tilt link rotates with respect to one end of the first tilt link, and the second engagement of the first tilt link occurs. Since the pin is disengaged upward from the cam flap in accordance with the rotation of the second tilt link,
The first tilt link can be raised while rotating with respect to the guide body, and the rear end of the support body moves upward with respect to the guide rail in accordance with the rotation of the first tilt link. The rear end of the panel is lifted together with the support, and the slide panel can be tilted up with respect to the guide rail by the first tilt link.

Further, when the tilt cam is moved rearward of the vehicle body along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail, the flap cam moves rearwardly of the vehicle body along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail together with the tilt cam so that the flap cam is moved. At the same time that the rear end of the cam comes into contact with the front end of the guide body, the front end of the tilting cam is separated from the rear end of the guide body, so that the guide body is moved by the flap cam along the longitudinal direction of the guide rail. The first engaging pin of the second tilt link is disengaged from the tilt cam, and at the same time, the second engaging pin of the first tilt link is engaged with the flap cam. Since the first tilt link is driven downward along the guide hole of the second tilt link, the first tilt link can be tilted down while rotating with respect to the guide body, and the rear end of the support body can move down to the first tilt link. With rotation Since it moves downward, the rear end of the slide panel can be lowered together with the support from the opening of the roof panel toward the guide rail, and further, when the rear end of the slide panel is lowered by the first tilt link, Since the second tilt link does not rotate with respect to one end of the first tilt link, one end of the second tilt link does not move upward, and the width of the second tilt link is adjusted to the guide body. Since it is not necessary to make the width larger than the vertical width, the distance between the guide rail and the support is narrowed to about the width of the second tilt link, and the vertical size of the entire device can be reduced, so that the vehicle ceiling can be reduced. Since it does not decrease, it is possible to improve the habitability in the passenger compartment.

Furthermore, since the tilt cam and the flap cam are separate from the guide body, it is not necessary to form a tilt cam surface and a flap cam groove in the guide body as in the conventional case, and the guide body is not required. , The tilt cam and the flap cam do not have complicated shapes, and the guide body, the tilt cam and the flap cam can be easily manufactured, and the slide panel closes the roof panel opening. Since the free running distance for maintaining the guide hole is not determined by the length of the long hole of the guide, the length of the long hole of the guide can be changed only by changing the distance between the tilt cam and the flap cam. It is not necessary to prepare a large number of slide panels according to the free running distance of the slide panel, and the free running distance when the slide panel is fully closed can be freely set according to the distance between the tilt cam and the flap cam.
