Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the longitudinal length of the opening of an externally sliding type roof and reduce the height thereof when the opening and closing lid is opened by disposing a powered type tilt-up mechanism in the vicinity of the rear part of the opening and linking the mechanism with an opening and closing guide by a swing type coinciding means. CONSTITUTION:The end part of a tilt-up lever 25 having U-shaped plane view and the rear end part of a frame-side sub-guide rail 16 are pivotally engaged with each other via a supporting shaft 62, whereby making up a swing type coincident means between a tilt-up mechanism 21 and the frame-side sub-guide rail 16. By the rear motion of the tilt-up mechanism 21, the front end of a tilt-up lever 25 is swung downward to close the opening with an opening and closing lid 2 via a frame-side sub guide rail 16 and a rear slide stay 17. By the forward procedure of the lid, the rear part 4 thereof is swung upward. The length of the guide rail and the longitudinal length of the opening can be increased.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Application field of production i:1) The present invention relates to a sliding roof structure for a vehicle.

(Prior Art) For example, an external sliding roof structure is known as one of the sliding roof structures for vehicles. The external sliding roof structure has a tilt-up mechanism that allows the rear part of the body to open and close from the roof opening.
JP-A-56-57516 is a known device for this type of device.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 56-57516 lifts the rear part of the opening/closing body above the roof using a screw telescope that constitutes a tilt-up mechanism. Due to the positioning, the guide that guides the opening and closing body interferes with the tilt-up mechanism, and the length of the guide has to be reduced.However, by ensuring a large longitudinal stroke of the opening and closing body, the longitudinal length of the roof opening when the opening and closing body is opened is reduced. I can't make it big.

In addition, if the rear part of the opening/closing body is lifted up using a means that simply moves linearly in the vertical direction, such as a screw telescope or a piston type, the screw telescope, etc. can be used to maintain a certain length under one arm when contracted. However, the height of the sliding roof structure has to be increased accordingly, resulting in a problem of narrowing the space inside the vehicle.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the object of the present invention is to: 1) ensure a large longitudinal stroke of the closing body so that the roof opening can move forward and backward when the opening and closing body is opened; To provide a sliding roof structure for a vehicle whose length can be increased and the height of the roof can be made as small as possible.

(Another Means to Solve the Problem) In order to achieve the object of +iii.1, the present invention
-1, an opening/closing body that can freely open and close the space [■], a guide for guiding the opening/closing movement of the opening/closing body, a powered tilt-up mechanism arranged around the rear part of the opening, It is characterized by providing a swing type interlocking means between the mechanism and the guide.

) The tip portion is configured to swing downward to close the roof opening (3) with the opening/closing body (2) via the frame side sub-guide rail (16) and rear slide stay (17).

When the drive lever (20) is advanced from the rear limit position, the guide pin (51) is inserted into the elongated hole (36) and the sub guide pin (
54) are slidably guided by the elongated holes (44), and the intermediate link (52) moves forward without rotating.
The tilt pin (55), which moves forward together with the movement of the frame side sub-guide rail (16), gradually swings the tilt-up lever (25) upward while sliding in the long hole (63), and moves the rear end of the frame-side sub-guide rail (16). I- Raise rear slide stay (17)

Also, when the drive lever (24) moves from the front limit position to the rear limit position, the intermediate link (52) operates in the opposite manner to the above, swinging the tilt amplifier lever (25) downward.

This embodiment is constructed as described above, and the tilt-up mechanism (21) is arranged around the rear part of the roof opening (3), so that
Guide rails (12), (14) that guide the opening/closing body (2)
), (18) can be made sufficiently large without interfering with the tilt-up mechanism (21). Therefore, the length of the opening/closing body (2) can be made large, and the length of the opening/closing body (2) can be made large.
2) The front and rear open length of the roof opening (3) when opened can be widened, and in the embodiment, the tilt-up mechanism (21) is arranged on the F side of the rear roof (5), so this is even more so. be.

In addition, - vertically swingable tilt / prepper (21)
Since the opening/closing body (2) is tilted up, the tilt amplifier lever (25) can be disposed in a space which is extremely narrow compared to conventional means such as screw telescope type or piston type. 1- The lower height of the sliding roof structure can be reduced, and the space in the east room can be secured.

Furthermore, since the tilt-up mechanism (21) is configured to convert the longitudinal linear motion of the drive lever (24) into the rotational pressure motion of the chill door lever (25), the tilt-up mechanism (21)

(16), various stays (11), 11 occupied by (17)
can be accommodated within the nid space, and therefore the tilt-up mechanism (
The installation 11 of 21) has no effect on the room space of 11.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the following explanation, according to the present invention, a large longitudinal stroke of the opening/closing body is ensured to increase the longitudinal length of the roof opening 1■ when the opening/closing body is opened. The 1-bottom height of the movable roof structure can be reduced by +1, and a large space inside the vehicle can be secured.
