Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a deflector structure for a sliding roof.

In vehicles equipped with a sliding roof that opens and closes an opening on the roof, when the sliding roof is opened, outside air intrudes into the passenger compartment through the opening, causing a slob phenomenon. The deflector plate is raised to prevent outside air from entering. (Refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 52-35042.) This invention uses the sliding roof opening/closing device to make the tilting device for the deflector plate extremely simple, and also allows the sliding roof to be fully opened even when it is half open. It is an object of the present invention to provide a deflector structure for a sliding roof, which is characterized in that it can be erected in the same way as in the normal state.

This invention will be explained in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

In Fig. 1, 1 is a roof, 2 is an opening made in the roof 1, 3 is a sliding roof that opens and closes the opening 2, and 4 is a deflector that stands up along the front edge of the opening 2 when the sliding roof 3 is opened. It is a board.

The deflector plate 4 is rotatably attached via a hinge pin 7 to a bracket 6 protruding from the center of the front side of a sliding roof frame 5 attached to the periphery of the opening 2. The bracket 6 has a pair of support parts 6a, 6 that protrude from the roof frame fixing part.
A pin hole is bored in a, and the center portion of a substantially shaped hinge pin 7 having both ends fixed to the center of the bent portion of the deflector plate 4 is rotatably inserted through the pin hole and attached. A return spring 8 is attached between the bracket supports 6a, 6a of the hinge pin 7, and biases the deflector plate 4 clockwise via the hinge pin 7, so that the deflector plate 4 is always in a horizontal state.

A conduit 1 is provided at the tip portion which becomes the front end portion when the deflector plate 4 is in a horizontal state (lower end portion when standing up).
3, and the end stop 9a of the deflector wire 9 is slidably fitted into the conduit 13, and the compression spring 1 is inserted between the stop 9a and the conduit wall 13a.
5 is interposed. A sliding member 10 is fixed to the other end of the deflector wire 9, and the sliding member 10 is connected to the sliding roof sliding wire 11.
It is slidably fitted. A stopper member 12 is fixed to the sliding roof driving wire 11 at a position forward of the sliding member fitting position.
The sliding roof driving wire 11 is
When the sliding roof 3 is opened, the stopper member 1 is pulled rearward as shown by the arrow in the figure.
2 comes into contact with the sliding member 10, moves the sliding member 10 backward, pulls the deflector wire 9 against the spring 8, and rotates the deflector plate 4 counterclockwise to stand up. That's what I do. At this time, when the wire 11 is pulled to a position where the sliding roof 3 is placed in a half-open position, the deflector plate 4 is brought into an upright state.
In addition, at this position, in order to prevent the deflector plate 4 from easily falling down due to wind pressure or the like, a compression spring 1 is provided which biases the wire 9 in a direction to pull it backward.
The spring force A of the spring 5 is returned to be greater than the sum of the spring force B of the spring 8 and the wind pressure C of the set vehicle speed. (That is, A>B+C) When operating the sliding roof 3 from the half-open position to the fully open position,
The deflector wire 9 is pulled while compressing the compression spring 15 in cooperation with the stopper member 12 fixed to the wire 11 that is pulled backward, and the deflector plate 4 is not rotated. Therefore, the deflector plate 4 stands up in the same state as when the sliding roof 3 is in the half-open position.

As described above, the deflector plate 4 is in an upright state as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, even when the sliding roof 3 is opened to either the half-open position or the fully open position. On the other hand, when the sliding roof 3 is closed, the sliding roof drive wire 11 is pulled forward, and the stopper member 12 moves forward and separates from the sliding member 10. When the stopper member 12 is released, the deflector wire 9 is pulled forward by the spring force of the return spring 8, and the sliding member 10 is pulled forward by the spring force of the return spring 8.
2, the deflector plate 4 becomes horizontal as shown by the solid line in FIG. 2, and is stored below the sliding roof 3.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and the deflector wire 9 may be used as a spring member to hold the deflector plate 4 in an upright state when the sliding roof is moved from the half-open position to the fully open position. A compression spring 1 is inserted between one end and a conduit 13 fixed to the deflector plate 4.
5, a spring member may be interposed between the other end of the deflector wire 9 and the sliding roof drive wire. That is, one end of the wire 9 may be fixed to the deflector plate 4 itself, and a tension spring may be interposed between the wire 9 and the sliding member 10 fixed to the other end.

When this tension spring is used, when the sliding roof 3 is opened, the sliding roof driving wire 1
1 is pulled rearward, the stopper member 12 comes into contact with the sliding member 10, causes the sliding member 10 to move backward, and the deflector wire 9 is pulled against the tension spring 8, and the deflector plate 4 Rotate counterclockwise to stand up. On the other hand, when the sliding roof 3 is closed, the sliding roof drive wire 11 is pulled forward, and the stopper member 12 moves forward and separates from the sliding member 10. When the stopper member 12 is released, the deflector wire 9 is pulled forward by the spring force of the return spring 8, and the sliding roof drive wire 1
1, the deflector plate 4 becomes horizontal and is stored below the sliding roof 3.

As described above, the spring member interposed between one end of the deflector wire and the deflector plate or the other end of the deflector wire and the sliding roof driving wire is a compression spring or a tension spring as described above. Either spring is fine. That is, the deflector wire 9 may be configured to be pulled against a compression or tension spring when the sliding roof 3 is opened.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the deflector structure according to the invention, the deflector wire is pulled in cooperation with the sliding roof drive wire, and the deflector plate is erected from when the sliding roof is partially opened. When the sliding roof is closed, the deflector plate is stored horizontally by the return spring, making the opening and closing mechanism of the deflector plate extremely simple. Therefore, it has the advantage that the deflector plate can be opened and closed reliably, does not take up much space, and can be provided at low cost.
