Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle door drainage structure, and more particularly to a drainage structure for water drops adhering to the windshield of an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the conventional drainage structure of this type, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the lower edge 3a of the window glass 3 which can be raised and lowered is horizontally formed between the door panels 2 of the door body 1 and is in contact with the window glass 3. A waist molding (sealing material) 4 is attached to the waist line of the door panel 2 so as to sandwich the window glass. The waist molding 4 prevents water droplets W attached to and flowing down from the windshield 3 from entering the interior of the vehicle compartment, or wipes the waterdrops when the windshield 3 is lowered. Has been done.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, a vehicle door disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-83113 has a drainage groove 2 provided outside the inner door panel 1a along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, so that it can be used outdoors. A water guide plate 4 made of rubber is attached to the inside of the panel 1b by a supporting member 3. The water guide plate 4 is in the form of a strip plate, and an arc-shaped water stop wall 5 is projectingly provided on the upper surfaces at the front and rear ends in the longitudinal direction, and one side edge of the water guide plate 4 is fixed to the support member 3 and the like. The side edge extends upward from the drain groove 2. Then, when the window glass 6 is raised, that is, when the window glass 6 is closed, water droplets are made to flow from the water guide plate 4 to the drain groove 2.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the waist molding 4 as shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, as shown in FIG. 9, waterproofing is incomplete regardless of whether or not the window glass 3 is moved up and down, and the water W adhering to the surface of the window glass 3 remains. As shown in FIG. 10, the gap between the windshield 3 and the waist molding 4, or the gap between the front and rear ends of the waist molding 4 and the door sash 5 enters downward to flow down the windshield surface and become horizontal. Water drops from the lower edge 3a of the window glass 3 drop on the door components M such as the window glass lifting device, door check arm, key cylinder, and door lock, causing the door components to rust and malfunction. There was a fear. Therefore, it is not preferable to increase the contact pressure of the waist glass in order to eliminate the gap between the window glass 3 and the waist molding 4 because the operating force for raising and lowering the wind glass is increased.

Further, in the latter conventional example shown in FIG. 11, part of the water accumulated in the drainage groove 2 may be scattered inside the door due to the vibration of the vehicle. Further, the water guide plate 4 is configured so that water droplets flow from the water guide plate 4 to the drainage channel 2 only when the wind glass 6 is closed. , When the window glass 6 is opened for ventilation after washing the car, the water guide plate 4 is pushed down so as to be separated from the drainage groove 2, so that the water that has infiltrated from the waist line into the door component M. There are various problems such as taking up.

[0006]

[Means for solving problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and can guide and drain water that has entered the interior of the waistline of the door body so that it does not come into contact with the door structure. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lower end portion of a window glass that can be lifted and lowered between a pair of door panels in an inclined or arcuate shape in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. A gutter is provided in the door panel, and a drainage guide rail connected to the lower end of the window glass and sandwiching the front and rear ends of the window glass and extending to the vicinity of the lower part of the door panel is provided inside the door panel. It is in the drainage structure of automobile doors.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 is a front view of an automobile door to which the drainage structure according to the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part of the door, FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view of another embodiment different from FIG. 3, FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line III-III of FIG. 1, FIG. 6 is a front view of another embodiment of the vehicle door according to the present invention, and FIG. It is a front view of other examples which differ in a door.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a door body, and a window glass 3 is vertically movable between door panels 2 and 2. A lower end portion 3a, that is, a lower end surface of the window glass 3 is arranged in a front-rear direction of a vehicle. It is formed to be inclined. The lower end surface is preferably flat. Reference numeral 4 is a gutter which is fitted and fixed to the lower end portion 3a of the window glass 3 and is made of a corrosion-resistant material such as resin or stainless steel. And a water receiving plate 4b that extends obliquely outward from the upper ends of the left and right side walls of the fixing portion 4a in order to improve the receiving of water. The water receiving plate 4b may be provided only on the outside of the vehicle as shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a groove-shaped drainage rail, which is installed at the front and rear ends of the window glass 3 in the door panel 2 so as to sandwich the end portion of the window glass 3 with a sealing material 6 interposed therein. And is fixed upright, and its lower end reaches near the bottom of the door body 1. That is, a drainage channel is formed by the lower end portion 3a of the window glass and the drainage guide rail 5. Reference numeral 7 denotes a door component installed in the door panel 2, which includes a door glass lifting device, a door check arm, a key cylinder, a door lock and the like.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment, in which the lower end portion 3a of the window glass 3 is formed in an arc shape, and other points are the same as those of the above embodiment.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a further embodiment is similar to the above embodiment, in which the lower end portion 3a of the window glass 3 is formed in an arc shape, but the door structure 7 is the layout. When the front and rear guide rails 5 are short and located near the lower end thereof, the lower end of the drainage guide rail 5 is extended to the bottom of the door body 1.

Therefore, irrespective of the open / closed state of the windshield 3, when water droplets W adhering to the windshield surface enter the interior of the door panel 2 through the waistline, the gutter 4 attached to the lower end portion 3a of the windshield 3 causes the windshield 3 to move. After flowing down toward the front and rear ends of the glass 3, it is guided through the drainage guide rail 5 to the bottom of the door body 1 without scattering.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the drainage structure for an automobile door according to the present invention is constructed such that the lower end portion of the window glass that can be raised and lowered between a pair of door panels is formed in a slanted or arcuate shape in the vehicle front-rear direction. Since a gutter is provided in the portion, and a drainage guide rail that is connected to the lower end of the window glass and that sandwiches the front and rear ends of the wind glass and extends to the vicinity of the lower part of the door panel is provided in the door panel, Regardless of whether the windshield is open or closed, water droplets that have adhered to the windshield surface and have entered the inside of the door panel from the waistline flow down toward the front and rear edges of the windshield by the gutter at the lower edge of the windshield, and then drain. It will be guided through the guide rail to the bottom of the door body without scattering, and moisture will impair the door components inside the door panel, causing malfunction. There is advantage of the ability to prevent the that.
