Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] The present invention is a drain hose that discharges rainwater collected in a housing of a sunroof, etc. The purpose is to prevent that. [Structure] By arranging the end of the sunroof drain hose 14 in the opening 6C of the drafter 6 and fixing it by the fixing means 9, the rainwater going out of the drain hose 14 is discharged through the opening 6C of the drafter 6. .

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an arrangement structure of a sunroof drain hose that discharges rainwater collected in a housing of a sunroof of an automobile to the outside of the car.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in Fig. 3, a sunroof drain hose (4,5) is arranged to discharge rainwater collected in the housing (3) of the sunroof (2) of the vehicle body (1) to the outside of the vehicle. Conventionally, the drain hose (4,5) is pulled out from the housing (3) of the sunroof (2) of the car body (1), and the end of the front drain hose (4) is shown in Fig. 4. As shown, it is located between the inner panel (7A) and the outer panel (7B) of the vehicle sill (7) behind the drafter (6) located in the front of the vehicle (1). The rainwater that has gone out of the drain hose (4) is at the joint between the flange (71A) of the inner panel (7A) of the sill (7) and the flange (71B) of the outer panel (7B) as shown by the arrow in Fig. 4. It is released to the outside of the vehicle through the gap (7C).

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above conventional configuration, rainwater that has gone out of the drain hose (4) contacts the inner panel (7A) and outer panel (7B) of the sill part (7), and dust and exhaust gas also come from the gap (7C) through the sill part (7C). ), It is not preferable for rust prevention, and if the drain hose (4) is not fixed securely, the drain hose (4) will be displaced and rainwater will enter and accumulate in the vehicle. There is.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a means for solving the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention positions the end of the sunroof drain hose (14) at the opening (6C) of the drafter (6) and fixes it with the fixing means (9). A drain hose arrangement structure is provided.

[0005]

[Action]

 The rainwater that goes out from the end of the sunroof drain hose (14) is discharged to the outside of the vehicle through the opening (6C) of the drafter (6), so it does not come into contact with the vehicle body panel or the like. Further, since the drain hose (14) is fixed in the drafter (6) by the fixing means (9), the drain hose (14) is not displaced and rainwater does not enter the vehicle. Also, it is not necessary to provide a clearance for discharge in the seal part (7).

[0006]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. As shown in FIG. 3, the sunroof drain hose (14) arranged at the front part of the vehicle body (1) has a sill end (14). It is inserted in the drafter (6) installed in the mounting hole (8) of 7).

The drafter (6) has a pair of upper and lower guide portions (6A, 6B), and the guide portions (6A, 6B) communicate with the openings (6C, 6D) of the drafter (6), One-way valves (6E, 6F) made of soft plastic, rubber or the like are attached to the openings (6C, 6D). The drain hose (14) is fixed in the guide (6A) of the drafter (6) by a clip (9) which is a fixing means, and its end is one valve (6E) of the opening (6C) of the drafter (6). Is in contact with the back of.

In the above structure, since the drain hose (14) is fixed by the clip (9) in the guide portion (6A) of the drafter (6), the drain hose (14) is not displaced even by a vibration while the vehicle is running, Rainwater from the end of the drain hose (14) is always discharged outside the vehicle through the opening (6C) of the drafter (6).

A ring or a bracket may be used to fix the drain hose (14) in the drafter (6) other than the above-mentioned embodiments, or an adhesive may be used.

[0010]

Therefore, in the present invention, the vehicle body panel is prevented from being corroded by rainwater that goes out from the sunroof drain hose, and the rainwater is surely prevented from entering the vehicle. Further, in the present invention, since it is not necessary to provide a drainage gap in the sill portion, the body panel is not further corroded by dust and exhaust gas, and the drain hose can be easily arranged using the mounting hole of the drafter. You can search.
