Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a door lock remote control rod for an automobile, and more particularly to a drain structure for a door lock remote control rod that is hung vertically inside a door.

Conventional technology The door outside handle for unlatching the automobile door lock device from the outside of the vehicle and the cylinder key for locking and unlocking from the outside of the vehicle are both located near the waist section of the upper side of the door. A door lock remote control rod that transmits operating force from operating parts such as a handle and a cylinder key to a door lock device is vertically installed inside the door.

Figure 1), @ indicates the arrangement structure of the conventional remote control rod for the door door handle, and Figure 2), (81 indicates the arrangement structure of the remote control rod for the cylinder key). The remote control rod l for the outside handle is formed into a straight line, and its upper end is connected to the arm part 5iK of the door outside handle 4, and its lower end is connected to the free end of the unlatch operating lever 3 of the door lock device 2. Then, the pulling force of the door outside handle 4 is activated to unlatch it, but -3
The door lock device 2 is unlatched by transmitting the signal to the door lock device 2. Moreover, the remote control rod IA for the cylinder key shown in FIG.
Bend the lower end of the rod IA into a crank shape so that the rods are offset in the front and back direction, insert the lower end floor into the U-shaped protector 8, and lock and unlock the door lock device 2 within this protector 8. The upper end of the rod IA is connected to a lever 7'b fixed to the end of the cylinder body 7a of the cylinder key 7, and the operating force of the cylinder key 7 is transmitted to the key lever 6 to lock the door. The device is designed to lock and unlock the device 2. These are service bulletins issued by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. in November 1972.
A similar structure can be seen in the J910 model, E-P910 model, and E-Y910 model maintenance manual, page 344. However, with this conventional structure, rainwater and car wash water that entered from the door waist opening of the door body (not shown) , or cylinder key 7
Rainwater or car wash water that enters through the key plate insertion hole (not shown in the figure) may cause damage to these remote control rods (1). As it flows down the IA, these rods 1. Flowing water easily accumulates in the connecting part of the lower floor of the IA with the levers 3 and 6, causing the connecting part to rust, and in the winter of 1941, the connecting part freezes and becomes inoperable.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned conventional situation, the present invention has been devised so that even if water flows down a remote control rod, water can be reliably drained before reaching the connection part between the rod and the lever, and the connection part can be completely drained. The object of the present invention is to provide a drain structure for a door lock remote control rod that can prevent rusting and freezing due to water accumulation.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a door lock whose upper end is connected to an operating part disposed on the upper side of the door, and whose lower end is connected to the free end of a lever that operates a door lock device. A folded part is formed in the middle part of the remote control rod so that the water flowing down from above the rod can be drained off by this folded part.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, with the same reference numerals assigned to the same parts as in the conventional structure.

Figure 3 (8) @ shows the present invention applied to a remote control rod for a door outside handle.The remote control rod 1 has its upper end connected to the arm 5 end of the door outside handle 4, and its lower end is connected to the free end of the unlatching lever 3 of the door lock device 2, and a folded part 10 is formed in the middle part of the remote control rod l, specifically, slightly above the part of the rod 1 connected to the lever 3. It is.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, even if water that has entered from the door waist opening (not shown) flows down the remote control rod 1, it will not reach the folding part 10 before reaching the connecting part with the reno <-3. There is no possibility that the water will drain and drip onto the bottom of the door and reach the connecting part of the lever 3. In particular, since the folded portion 10 is set as close as possible to the connecting portion with the lever 3, it is possible to reliably drain water that adheres to or flows down from the middle of the rod 1, and the lever 3 The connecting part can be protected from intruding water.

FIG. 4 (~, @ shows the case where the present invention is applied to a remote control rod for a cylinder key, and the intermediate part of this remote control rod IA, specifically, the crank-shaped fold slightly above the connection part with the key lever 6. A folded portion 10A is formed at a part of the bent corner of the bent portion.

Therefore, in this embodiment as well, water that entered from the door waist opening (not shown) adheres to the rod IA.

Water that has flowed down or entered through the key plate insertion hole (not shown) of the cylinder key 7 may cause damage to the cylinder body 7a.

Even if water flows down to the rod IA via the water pipe 7b, the water can be reliably drained at the folded part 10A on the lower side of the rod IA, and the flowing water can be dripped to the bottom of the folded part 10A. This prevents water from reaching the connection part with the key lever 6.

In addition, although not shown, the present invention can also be applied to a remote control rod for a door inside lock knob that locks and unlocks the door lock device from the inside of the vehicle to obtain the same effect as described above.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the BAK of the present invention, water flowing down the door lock remote control rod can be reliably drained before it reaches the connecting portion between the rod and the operating lever of the door lock device. This prevents water from accumulating in the connecting parts and causing early rusting, or freezing the connecting parts and rendering them inoperable, further improving quality and reliability. It has a great effect.
