Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a remote vehicle door opening/closing device for remotely opening and closing vehicle doors, particularly rear doors.

Conventional remote vehicle door opening/closing devices include, for example, directly connecting a handle device provided near the driver's seat and an interlocking member for opening and closing the door, and operating the handle device to interlock the interlocking member. Some devices open and close the door by latching off the engaging portion of the door lock device and applying an opening/closing force to the door by operating a member. In addition, the above-mentioned handle device requires a large operating force to open and close a heavy door, so the operating force has been reduced by making the handle body a certain length and increasing the lever ratio.

However, in such conventional remote door opening/closing devices for automobiles, the handle body is long to some extent, so the handle body protrudes significantly into the vehicle interior and becomes a hindrance when the handle device is not in use. Become,
Particularly when installed in parallel with devices such as a handbrake, a trunk opener, or a seat reclining device, the device interferes with the arm and becomes a nuisance when operating these devices. In addition, since the handle device and the interlocking member were in a state in which they were interlocked, even if a rear seat passenger directly opened or closed the door regardless of the handle device, the handle device would be linked and the handle body would operate. As a result, there is a problem in that the steering wheel body may operate unexpectedly and hit the driver, or catch clothing, causing damage or staining.

This invention was made by focusing on these conventional problems, and while maintaining the reduction of the force required to open and close the door, the handle body does not get in the way when the handle device is not in use, and moreover, it allows the door to be opened and closed directly. The purpose is to prevent the steering wheel body from hitting the driver or damaging or staining the driver's clothing even in the event of an accident.

Specifically, this invention connects a handle device provided near the driver's seat to a moving member for opening and closing the door, and operates an interlocking member by operating the handle device to open and close the door. In the opening/closing device, the above-mentioned handle device has a handle body formed to be extendable and retractable, and an actuation member connected to an interlocking member, rotatably supported on mounting brackets provided on the vehicle body side, and the above-mentioned actuation member An engaging recess is formed in the handle body, and a hook member provided on the handle body is attached to and detachable from the engaging recess in conjunction with the expansion and contraction of the handle body, so that the handle body can be moved to a certain extent during operation. When not in use, the handle body is shortened and shortened, and the handle body of the handle device does not operate even if the door is opened or closed directly.

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings.

1 to 7 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the present invention. This automobile door remote opening/closing device 1 has a handle device 4 disposed on a floor panel 3 near the driver's seat 2, and an interlocking member 5 that swings in conjunction with the handle device 14 on a rear door 6.
It is located inside. Specifically, this interlocking member 5 includes a swing plate 10 and a swing arm 11 that are pivotally supported on a base plate 8 fixed to the inner panel of the rear door 6, and an engagement hole 13 formed in the swing plate 10. and a bent portion 14 formed on the swing arm 11 are engaged with each other in a loosely fitted state. 15 is a spring, and the rocking plate 10 is moved by the arrow A.
The bent portion 14 is normally formed on one side edge of the engagement hole 13.
is engaged. Swing arm 11 is link 1
6 to the center pillar on the vehicle body side. Further, a door lock operation member is connected to the base plate 8 via a control cable 18 to latch off an engaging portion (not shown) of the door lock device 17 and release the engaging portion from a striker (not shown) fixed to the vehicle body side. 19
is pivotally supported, and an engagement pin 20 protruding from the door lock operation member 19 and an engagement portion 21 formed on the swing plate 10 can freely come into contact with each other. Note that 22 is a spring that constantly urges the door lock operating member 19 in the direction of arrow B. The swing plate 10 and the handle device 4 are connected by control cables 23a and 23b. This handle device 4 has a handle body 25 and an operating member 26 rotatably supported on a mounting bracket 24 fixed to a floor panel 3 via an axis pin 36, and the control cables 23a, 23b are connected to the operating member 26.
I am trying to connect. Specifically, the handle body 25 includes a pipe-shaped first member 25a that is pivotally supported on the mounting bracket 24, a second member 25b that is slidably fitted into the first member 25a, and a second member 25b that is slidably fitted into the first member 25a. Member 25b
a third member 25c with an operation grip 30 slidably fitted therein;
The entire handle body 25 is made telescopic by sliding the member 25c. Moreover, the first member 25a and the second member 2
5b is a slider 32a mounted inside the first member 25a.
The second member 25b and the third member 25c are prevented from coming off by contact with a slider 32b attached to the outside of the second member 25b, and the second member 25b and the third member 25c are arranged in a flange shape provided at the end of the second member 25b. The slider 32c and the slider 32d attached to the outside of the third member 25c are prevented from coming off by contacting each other. Further, the handle main body 25 and the operating member 26 are connected to each other by an engagement recess 27 formed in the operating member 26 and the handle main body 25. Specifically, it is made detachable via a hook member 28 pivotally supported by the first member 25a, but here the hook member 28 is biased in the direction of arrow C via a spring 29, and is not normally engaged. The engagement recess 27 is in a disengaged state. Then, the hook member 28 and the third member 25c of the handle body 25 are connected by a connecting rod 35.
When the handle body 25 is extended, the hook member 28 can be engaged with the engagement recess 27.

The connecting rod 35 is rotatably connected to the hook member 28, and the third member 25c includes a slider 32e provided at the end of the connecting rod 35 and a slider 32f attached to the inside of the third member 25c. The sliders 32e and 32f are connected to each other by contact with each other. Further, the actuating member 26 has an engaging recess 27.
A contact portion 34 for engagement positioning is formed adjacent to the engagement recess 27, so that the hook member 28 can be easily and reliably engaged with the engagement recess 27.

Next, the effect will be explained. First, assume that when the rear door 6 is closed, the handle device 4 is in a state where the handle body 25 is retracted as shown in FIG. In this case, the handle body 25 is short and does not protrude too far into the vehicle interior, so it does not get in the way of the driver. Further, since no tensile force is acting on the connecting rod 35, the hook member 28 is urged in the direction of arrow C by the spring 29 and is disengaged from the engagement recess 27, so that the rear seat occupant can open the rear door 6. Even if the handle body 25 is opened directly, the handle body 25 will not operate in conjunction with the handle body 25, so it is safe. In order to open the rear door 6 using the door remote opening/closing device 1 from the state shown in FIG. When slid in the direction, the sliders 32d and 32c come into contact with each other and the second member 2
5b slides, the sliders 32b and 32a abut, and a handle body 25 of a predetermined length is obtained. Therefore, sufficient levers 26 are obtained. Further, when the operation clip 30 is slightly slid in the D direction from this state, the slider 3
2e and 32f come into contact with each other, and the connecting rod 35 is pulled in the same direction, and this tension causes the hook member 28 to release the spring 29.
It rotates in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow C against the biasing force of , and engages with the engagement recess 27 of the actuating member 26 . Next, when the operating grip 30 is rotated in the direction of the arrow F in this state, the handle body 25 is interlocked in the same direction with a relatively light operating force, and the actuating member 26 is rotated in the direction of the arrow G, so that the control cables 23a, 23b in the directions of arrows H and I.

Then, the swing plate 10 swings in the direction opposite to the arrow A direction against the biasing force of the spring 15, and the engaging portion 2 of the swing plate 10 swings in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow A.
1 contacts the engagement pin 20 and rotates the door lock operating member 19 in the direction opposite to the arrow B direction against the biasing force of the tin ring 22, and the door lock operating member 19 closes the door via the control cable 18. The engagement portion of the locking device 17 is latched off to release the engagement with the striker. When the operation grip 30 is further operated in the same direction as above, the other side edge of the engagement hole 13 of the swing plate 10 comes into contact with the bent part 14, causing the swing arm 11 to interlock and swing in the direction of arrow 3. let Then, the link 16 connected to the swing arm 11 operates in conjunction to apply a pressing force to the center door, and the reaction force opens the rear door 6. Then, when you release your hand from the operating grip 30 in this state, the engagement of the hook member 28 with the engagement recess 27 is released by the biasing force of the spring 29.
The handle body 25 will return to its original position under its own weight, and if you slide the operating grip 30 in the direction of arrow E and retract it, it will not get in the way, and the rear seat passenger can directly block the rear door 6. Even if the handle body 25 is operated in conjunction with the handle body 25, it is safe. Next, in order to close the rear door 6 using the door remote opening/closing device 1 from the above state, grasp the operation grip 30 and hold the handle body 2.
5 to a predetermined length and rotate it in the direction of arrow F, slide the operating grip 30 in the direction of arrow C, and rotate the hook member 28 in the opposite direction to arrow C to ensure that it engages with the hook member 28. The recessed portion 27 is engaged with the recessed portion 27 . In this case, the position of the engagement recess 27 can be easily determined by the contact between the positioning abutment 34 and the hook member 28. Further, by performing the operation opposite to the opening operation described above, the rear door 6 can be easily and reliably closed.

As explained above, according to the present invention, since the above structure is adopted, the force for opening and closing the door can be reduced by extending the handle body to a predetermined length.
In addition, if the handle body is shortened and shortened, the handle body will not protrude into the vehicle interior more than necessary when not in use and will not get in the way, especially if the handle device is used with devices such as a handbrake, trunk opener, or seat reclining device. Even if they are installed side by side, they do not interfere with the operation of other devices, and even if a rear seat passenger opens or closes the door directly, the handle body can be prevented from operating in conjunction with each other, making it safer. be.
