In this way, rainwater and the like flowing inward from a gap between the weather strip 13 and the opening hole 6 is let flow toward the wall part, 7 side along the lip part 14, while rainwater in the front part, and in the side part of the sunroof glass 10 is dropped into a drip channel frame 17. Subsequently, the rainwater and the like flows inside the drip channel frame 17 and collected in a drain port so as to be discharged to the vehicle body outside via a drain hose.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sunroof sealing structure capable of preventing rainwater or the like that has flowed into the interior of a passenger compartment around a sunroof glass in an automobile with a sunroof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 shows a conventional sunroof sealing structure, in which a sunroof device 102 is assembled into an opening hole 101 formed in a roof panel 100, and the opening hole 101 is opened and closed by a sunroof glass 103. ing.

7 to 9 show a sunroof device 102.
The roof part to which is attached is shown. An opening hole 101 is formed on the upper surface of the roof panel 100, and the opening hole 101 is formed by bending the peripheral edge inward.

On both sides of the roof panel 100, a side body panel 106 composed of a side body outer panel 104 and a quarter inner panel (also referred to as a side body inner panel) 105 is provided. The side body panel 106 has a sunroof device. A sunroof mount bracket 107 for assembling 102 is fastened via bolts 108. A sunroof bracket 109 for supporting the sunroof device 102 is attached to the sunroof mount bracket 107 by bolts 1.
10 and the nut 111 are assembled.
A sun shade 112 is provided on the indoor side of the sunroof glass 103 of the sunroof device 102.

Reference numeral 113 is a sunroof-type thick plate reinforcement for reinforcing the roof panel 100. The lean reinforcement 113 has a bent portion 114 provided on the inner side thereof, and is provided with an opening hole 1 of the roof panel 100.
It is joined to the outer peripheral side of the wall surface provided inside 01.
A ceiling trim 115 is provided on the indoor side of the roof panel 100.

In this type of vehicle with a sunroof, it is necessary to prevent the entry of rainwater or the like from the sunroof device 102 mounted in the opening 101 of the roof panel 100 in case of rain. Therefore, conventionally, a weather strip 116 is mounted around the sunroof glass 103.

The weather strip 116 comes into contact with the wall surface 117 of the roof panel 100 to obtain watertightness.
Rainwater or the like may enter the inside of the sunroof glass 103 through the gap between the weather strip 116 and the wall surface 117. Such rainwater is transmitted through the weather strip 116 and dropped into the drip channel 118 provided around the sunroof device 102 to be received.

[0008]

However, in this case, when the inflowing rainwater or the like has a strong momentum, the water drops that have fallen into the drip channel 118 are as shown by the arrows in the figure.
There was a risk of jumping up into the room and entering the room.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above problems and to provide a sunroof sealing structure capable of preventing inflow of rainwater and the like from entering the passenger compartment around the sunroof glass in an automobile with a sunroof. To do.

[0010]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a lip portion along a peripheral edge of a lower end portion of a weather strip provided around a sunroof glass which opens and closes an opening formed in a roof portion. And the lip portion is formed so as to face the wall portion side of the opening hole.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing an automobile with a sunroof, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 showing a seal structure of a sunroof of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a view showing a seal structure of a sunroof of the present invention. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 1, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. 1 showing the seal structure of the sunroof of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a sunroof device 3 is provided on a roof portion 2 of a vehicle body 1 of an automobile with a sunroof.
Is provided. As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the roof portion 2 is composed of a roof panel 4 and a ceiling trim 5 arranged on the indoor side of the roof panel 4, and an opening hole 6 is formed in the upper surface of the roof panel 4. Are formed. A wall portion 7 bent downward is provided at a peripheral portion of the opening hole 6, and the sunroof device 3 is disposed on a lower side of the wall portion 7. Side body panels 8 are joined to both left and right sides of the roof panel 4.

The sunroof device 3, as shown in FIG.
It is composed of a sliding roof frame 9, a sliding type sunroof glass (also referred to as sliding roof glass) 10, and a sliding roof sunshed (hereinafter referred to as a sunshed) 11. The sliding roof frame 9 is arranged below the opening hole 6, and is a pair of left and right frames 9a, 9a.
And a pair of left and right frames 9a, a frame 9b connecting the frames to each other, and a drip channel frame 17 which also serves as a frame connecting the water channels to each other. The sliding roof frame 9 is provided with a drip channel (water channel) 12 formed in a concave groove on the lower rear side of the sunroof glass 10.

The sunroof glass 10 opens and closes the opening hole 6 and is opened and closed by a link mechanism (not shown). A weather strip 13 is attached to a peripheral edge portion of the sunroof glass 10, and a lip portion 14 is vertically provided on a lower side of the weather strip 13 along the periphery. This lip part 1
Numeral 4 is provided toward the wall portion side of the opening hole 6 so that rainwater and the like that infiltrate from the periphery of the sunroof glass 10 can flow toward the wall portion 7 along the lip portion 14. The drip channel frame 17 is provided with drainage ports 15 at the four corners.
As shown by the broken line, each is connected to the outside of the vehicle body via a drain hose 16. The drain hose 16 is installed inside the pillar portion of the vehicle body 1 and is guided to the outside of the vehicle body 1.

According to the above structure, the sunroof glass 10
Weather strip 13 and opening hole 6 attached around the
Rainwater and the like flowing in from the gap of the above flows toward the wall portion 7 side along the lip portion 14, and the rainwater in the front and side portions of the sunroof glass 10 falls on the drip channel frame 17 and behind the sunroof glass 10. Part of the rainwater drops into the drip channel 12, and then drops into the drip channel frames 17 located at both ends of the drip channel 12, and the rainwater and the like flow in the drip channel frame 17 and are collected in the drain port 15 to be drained. It is discharged to the outside of the vehicle body through the hose 16.

Thus, according to the present invention, the lip portion 1
Since the rainwater flows along the wall 4 toward the wall 7 side, there is no fear that the rainwater or the like will splash to the indoor side.

[0016]

As described above, according to the sunroof sealing structure of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. In Claim 1, a lip part is hung vertically along the lower edge part periphery of the weather strip provided around the sunroof glass which opens and closes the opening hole formed in the roof part, and the direction of this lip part is an opening hole. Since it is formed toward the wall portion side, it is possible to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the room.
