Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial application]

 According to the present invention, a roof opening is formed in a roof panel of a vehicle, a molded ceiling is arranged under the roof panel, and a ceiling opening corresponding to the roof opening is formed in the molded ceiling. And a sunshade member capable of opening and closing the ceiling opening between the sunroof device and the vehicle sunroof device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a conventional vehicle sunroof device of this type, there is, for example, one shown in FIGS. 7 to 10.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the molded ceiling 1 and the sunshade member 2 that opens and closes the opening 1 a of the molded ceiling 1 have a common skin material 3 in view of the interior of the vehicle. 4 is used. A so-called raised tricot material with raised hair tips is used for the skin materials 3 and 4.

[0004] As shown in Fig. 10, the raw fabric (material woven fabric) 5 of the raised tricot material used for the skin materials 3 and 4 is usually wound in a roll, so that the tips of the raised tricot material are not wound. , The roll 5 has a habit of standing up diagonally along the longitudinal direction of the roll 5. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the width of the raw fabric 5 is set to be almost the width of the vehicle in consideration of the miniaturization of the production equipment, so that the brush tip of the raised tricot material attached to the surface of the molded ceiling 1 is set. The upright direction of the vehicle coincides with the vehicle front-rear direction.

Along with this, the raising direction of the hair tips of the skin material 4 attached to the surface of the sunshade member 2 is customarily the same as the raising direction of the hair tips of the skin material 3 on the surface of the molded ceiling 1. In addition, it is set so as to be along the vehicle front-rear direction. The sunshade member 2 opens and closes the opening 1a by sliding in the front-back direction on the upper surface of the molded ceiling 1 while contacting the skin material 3 which is folded back to the upper surface side from the peripheral edge of the opening 1a.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional vehicle sunroof device, as shown in FIG. 7, when the sunshade member 2 is slid in one of the front and rear directions, the sunshade member 2 that comes into contact with the peripheral edge of the opening 1a of the molding well 1 is moved. The raised hair of the skin material 4 is urged so as to fall in a direction opposite to the rising direction. As a result, the operating force of the sunshade member 2 differs between when the opening 1a is closed and when it is opened, and there is a problem in that operability is not good.

When the sunshade member 2 is slid in a direction opposite to the direction in which the raised bristles of the skin material 4 are raised, the bristles of the skin material 4 sequentially cover the periphery of the opening 1 a of the molded ceiling 1. There was a problem in that the raised sound of the material 3 was caught and disengaged, which caused continuous noises such as "cracking and crackling", impairing the high-class feel.

Conventionally, as one of the countermeasures, when the contact between the molded ceiling 1 and the sunshade member 2 of the skin materials 3 and 4 is set to be as small as possible, the variation in the assembly of each component As a result, a gap is created between the molded ceiling 1 and the sunshade member 2, which causes a problem that light outside the vehicle leaks from the gap.

As another countermeasure, there is a method in which the surface of the sunshade member 2 is recessed to the outside of the room except the surface which contacts the molded ceiling 1 when the sunshade member 2 is fully closed, and the sunshade member 2 is not contacted during operation. In this case, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the entire sunroof in order to secure a space for recessing the sunshade member 2, which causes a problem that the device becomes large.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to such conventional problems, and the operation force of the sunshade member becomes uniform when opening and closing the opening without causing any trouble, and the operability is improved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a vehicle sunroof device that is improved and prevents generation of abnormal noise during opening and closing operations to enhance a sense of luxury.

It is for inserting the car directly into the passenger compartment or for giving a feeling of liberation.

The slide mechanism 22 is arranged near the front edge of the roof opening 20 a, and has an electric motor 23, and a drive unit 24 that reduces the rotational force of the electric motor 23 and transmits it to the moon roof body 21. It comprises.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the molded ceiling 30 is arranged along the lower surface of the roof panel 20 with a gap therebetween, and the molded ceiling 30 has a sheet shape along the roof panel 20. The base member 33 is formed by laminating a pad member 34 and a skin material 35.

The base 33 is made of, for example, thermosetting molded felt, and the pad member 34 is made of, for example, urethane foam. Further, on the surface side of the pad member 34 laminated on the base body 33 that faces the interior of the vehicle, a skin material 35 covered with raised hairs 35a that obliquely rise along the vehicle longitudinal direction is laminated. A raised tricot material is used for the skin material 35.

As shown in FIG. 5, the skin material 35 is formed by cutting a cloth 50 of a raised tricot material into the illustrated shape. As shown in FIG. 10, the cloth 50 is usually wound in a roll, so that the hair tips of the raised tricot material are inclined to stand up along the longitudinal direction of the rolled cloth 50. Is attached. As shown in FIG. 5, the width of the cloth 50 is set to approximately the width of the vehicle in consideration of the miniaturization of the production equipment, so that the hair tips 35a of the skin material 35 of the molded ceiling 30 are raised. The direction corresponds to the front-back direction of the vehicle.

The peripheral edge of the ceiling opening 30a of the molded ceiling 30 is slightly bent toward the roof panel 20 side, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the front and rear ends of the bent ceiling opening 30a. The edges are a front receiving portion 31 and a rear receiving portion 32 for receiving the sunshade member 40, respectively. On the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32, a skin material 35 folded back from the peripheral edge of the ceiling opening 30a to the back surface side of the base 33 is laminated.

As shown in FIG. 1, the sunshade member 40 is disposed between the roof panel 20 and the molded ceiling 30 so as to be movable back and forth, and the sunshade member 40 includes the front receiving portion 31 of the molded ceiling 30. It is mounted on the rear receiving portion 32 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. The sun shade member 40 is formed by laminating a pad member 44 and a skin material 45 on the lower surface side of a panel frame (opening / closing body) 41. The panel frame 41 is made of, for example, a mild steel plate, and the pad member 44 is made of, for example, urethane foam.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, reinforcing frames 42, 42 are fixed to the front and rear ends on the upper surface side of the panel frame 41 by grommets 43, respectively. A handle 46 for inserting a fingertip and manually sliding the sunshade member 40 forward and backward is provided in the front portion on the lower surface side.

As shown in FIG. 3, on the surface of the pad member 34 laminated on the lower surface side of the panel frame 41, the skin material 45 covered with the raised hairs 45 a that are obliquely raised along the both sides of the vehicle is laminated. There is. A raised tricot material is used for the skin material 45, as with the skin material 35 that covers the molded ceiling 30. The rising direction of the raised hair 35a of the skin material 35 covering the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 of the molded ceiling 30 and the rising direction of the raised hair 45a of the skin material 45 of the sunshade member 40 intersect at a substantially right angle.

As shown in FIG. 5, the skin material 45 is formed by cutting a cloth 50 of a raised tricot material into the illustrated rectangular shape. In this case, the front-back direction of the skin material 45 is cut so as to be substantially perpendicular to the front-back direction of the skin material 35 of the molded ceiling 30 so as to match the width direction of the cloth 50.

Next, the operation will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the sunshade member 40 is mounted on the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 of the ceiling opening 30a of the molded ceiling 30 so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction. By inserting a fingertip into 46 and sliding the sunshade member 40 rearward, the ceiling opening 30a opens, and sunlight can be inserted into the vehicle interior through the roof opening 20a of the roof panel 20 and a feeling of liberation can be obtained.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the skin material 35 that covers the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 of the molded ceiling 30 has a raised hair 35 a that obliquely rises along the front-rear direction. The skin member 45 that covers the lower surface side of the sunshade member 40 is in contact with the skin member 40 so as to fall along the front-rear direction due to the weight of the shield member 40.

As shown in FIG. 3, the naps 45 a of the skin material 45 that covers the lower surface side of the sunshade member 40 are made of naps 35 a of the skin material 35 that covers the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 of the molded ceiling 30. Since it stands up diagonally along both directions intersecting at a right angle with the standing direction, the skin material 35 covering the molding ceiling 30 and the skin material 45 covering the sunshade member 40 have hair tips of the respective raised hairs 35a, 45a. They do not come into contact with each other in the same direction as they face each other.

The direction in which the raised hairs 45 a of the skin material 45 covering the sunshade member 40 stand up is substantially at right angles to the vehicle front rear direction in which the sunshade member 40 slides on the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32. Therefore, when the sunshade member 40 is slid in the front-back direction, the raised hairs 45a of the outer skin material 45 of the sunshade member 40, which come into contact with the outer skin material 35 that covers the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32, are opposite to the rising direction. It is not biased to fall in the direction.

Specifically, when sliding the sun shade member 40 on the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 of the molded ceiling 30 rearward to open the ceiling opening 30a, the sun shade member 40 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. As described above, the raised hairs 45a of the skin material 45 covering the sunshade member 40 are slightly inclined forward (to the left in the figure) while the hair material 35 covering the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 is covered. The raised hairs 35a fall backward (rightward in the figure) where the tips of the hairs stand up as they are, so that the sunshade member 40 can be slid backward with a small resistance.

On the other hand, when the sunshade member 40 on the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 of the molded ceiling 30 is slid from the rear to the front in order to close the ceiling opening 30a, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. The nap 35a of the skin material 35 that covers the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 is applied with a forward force (leftward in the figure) opposite to the direction in which the tips of the hairs are raised. Do not come into contact with each other because they intersect at substantially right angles to the raising direction of the raised hairs 45a of the skin material 45 covering the sunshade member 40 in contact with each other.

Thereby, the sunshade member 40 can be slid forward with a small resistance, as in the case of sliding the sunshade member 40 rearward. This reduces the resistance between the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 with which the sunshade member 40 abuts, and eliminates the difference in the operating force of the sunshade member 40 between when the ceiling opening 30a is closed and when the ceiling opening 30a is opened. Operability is improved.

Further, the naps 35 a and 45 a of the skin material 45 of the sunshade member 40 and the skin material 35 which covers the front receiving portion 31 and the rear receiving portion 32 of the molded ceiling 30 with which the skin material 45 is in contact, When the sunshade member 40 slides, the sunshade member 40 does not get caught and then comes off in sequence, and it is possible to prevent the occurrence of abnormal noise such as "cracking".

In addition to the opening / closing operation of the sunshade member 40, as shown in FIG. 1, the sliding mechanism 22 is electrically driven, and the rear end of the moonroof body 21 arranged on the sunshade member 40. If the vehicle is tilted upward and is moved rearward to open the roof opening 20a, sunlight can be directly inserted into the vehicle compartment and a feeling of liberation can be obtained.

Further, since the skin material 35 of the molded ceiling 30 and the skin material 45 of the sunshade member 40 are cut from the same cloth 50 by changing their front-rear directions at substantially right angles to each other, they are simple and inexpensive. Can be formed. In this case, the design of the molded ceiling 30 in the interior of the vehicle 11 and the sunshade member 40 can be unified.

In the present embodiment, the skin material covered with the raised fabric that obliquely stands up along the vehicle front-rear direction is laminated on the molded ceiling side, while the sunshade member side is slanted along both vehicle direction. The skin material covered with the raised hair is laminated on the sunshade member side, while the skin material covered with the raised hair is raised on the molded ceiling side diagonally along both sides of the vehicle. It is also possible to stack a skin material covered with a raised fabric that stands up obliquely along the vehicle front-rear direction.

[0043]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the vehicle sunroof device of the present invention, the opening / closing body that forms the sunshade member that can open and close the ceiling opening of the molded ceiling is configured to intersect with the raising direction of the nap of the skin material that covers the molded ceiling side. Since the skin material covering the raised ceiling is laminated, the skin material covering the molded ceiling and the skin material covering the sunshade member are in contact with each other so that the hair tips of the respective brushes face each other in the same direction. In addition, since the brushing of the skin material covering the sunshade member is not biased so as to fall in the direction opposite to the rising direction, the operation force of the sunshade member during opening and closing operation of the ceiling opening becomes uniform and the operability is improved. It is possible to prevent the generation of abnormal noise during the opening and closing operation, and to enhance the sense of quality.
