Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a sealing structure for a sliding roof of an automobile.

In order to enjoy a feeling of freedom when driving, a car has an opening in a part of the roof and a sliding roof that can be opened and closed in this opening. A guide rail is laid on the rear extension line of the left and right edges via packing, and the sliding roof is slidably attached to the guide rail, while a weather strip made of, for example, rubber is installed near the rear edge of the opening. A flocked weather strip is attached to close the gap between the rear edge of the opening and the lower surface of the sliding roof.

By the way, in the case where the rubber weather strip is attached, since the weather strip contacts the lower surface of the sliding roof over the entire widthwise direction of the roof, when the sliding roof slides, There is a problem that the weather strip causes a large sliding resistance.

In addition, when the flocked weather strip is attached, the sliding resistance described above is reduced, but on the other hand, when high-pressure water is directly sprayed onto the flocked weather strip, for example when washing a car, some of the There is a problem in that the water passes through the weather strip and enters the vehicle interior through the opening, contaminating the vehicle interior.

This invention was developed in view of the above circumstances.
The purpose is to be able to slide the sliding roof against the guide rail with little sliding resistance, and to reliably prevent water from entering the vehicle interior from the rear edge of the opening. It is intended to provide a seal structure.

Therefore, the present invention provides a support frame that is disposed at the rear edge of an opening provided in the roof of an automobile through packing, and a flocked weather cloth whose upper end contacts the lower surface of the sliding roof. While laying the lip, a lip that is higher than the support frame and whose upper end is located near the lower surface of the sliding roof and is not in contact with the lower surface is installed in the packing to connect the flocked weather strip and the This feature is characterized in that a water receiving groove is provided between the lip and the flocked weather strip, and is erected between the lip and the rear edge of the opening.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The sealing structure of a sliding roof according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes the roof of a wagon type automobile, and an opening 10 is formed approximately in the center of the roof 1, and an upwardly bent flange 11 is integrally formed around the periphery of the opening 10.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a guide rail provided around the front edge, left and right side edges, and a rear extension line of the left and right side edges of the opening 10 of the roof 1, and an inner surface of the guide rail 2 facing the opening 10. A fitting part 22 into which the support wall 2 of the sliding roof 3 and the peripheral edge of the sliding roof 3 fit is provided.

The guide rail 2 is fixed to the roof separated by a predetermined distance from the flange 11 via a packing 4 by fixing means such as bolts, and the lower surface of the packing 4 has openings on both sides in the width direction of the packing 4. In addition, a drainage passage 41 is formed by bending an intermediate path in the length direction of the packing.

On the other hand, near the rear edge of the opening 10, that is, at a position separated from the flange 11 by a predetermined distance, a support frame 50 is fixed to the support frame 50 by means of a bolt 51 through the packing 6, and the upper end is attached to the support frame 50. A flocked weather strip 5 is laid in contact with the lower surface of the sliding roof 3, and a flocked weather strip 5 is also placed near the rear corner of the opening 10, that is, at the position shown by the dashed line in FIG. (not shown) is attached via packing (not shown).

Furthermore, the packing 6 interposed between the support frame 50 and the roof 1 has a lip 6 that catches water passing through the flocked weather strip 5.
1 and a water-receiving groove 60, specifically, a water receiving groove 60 is provided at a side portion of the packing 6 on the side of the opening 10, the upper end of which is higher than the support frame 50 and near the lower surface of the sliding roof 3. The lip 61, which is positioned so as not to be in contact with the lower surface, is erected between the flocked weather strip 5 and the rear edge of the opening 10, and the lip 61 and the flocked weather strip 5, the water passing through the flocked weather strip 5 is received by the lip 61 and stored in the water receiving groove 60. The water is to be drained out of the vehicle through a drainage passage 41 formed in the packing 4 on the second side.

In the figure, 7 is a gutter provided between the guide rail 2 and the flocked weather strip 5 and the flange 11, and 8 is the opening 1 in the roof 1.
0 indicates a reinforcing member provided around the lower surface of the periphery, and 9 indicates a ceiling lining material.

The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, and the sliding roof 3
Since the gap between the lower surface and the rear edge of the opening 10 is closed by the flocked weather strip 5 which has extremely low frictional resistance and has good followability to the contact surface, the sliding roof 3 It slides smoothly on the rail 2, and the gap between the lower surface of the sliding roof 3 and the rear edge of the opening 10 is always closed.

On the other hand, when washing a car, for example, since the gap between the lower surface of the sliding roof 3 and the rear edge of the opening 10 is closed by the flocked weather strip 5, the car wash water is absorbed into the flocked weather strip. If the car wash water is sprayed directly onto the weather strip 5, there is a risk that a portion of the car wash water may pass between the flocked weather strips. The water receiving groove 6 is received by the lip 61 as shown by the arrow X in FIGS. 2 and 3.
0, and is further transmitted through this water receiving groove 60 and once discharged into the gutter 7 from the side end of the guide rail 2, and then is discharged outside the vehicle through a drainage passage 41 formed in the packing 4 of the guide rail 2. It is.

As described above, the present invention provides a support frame that is disposed at the rear edge of an opening provided in the roof of an automobile through packing, and a flocked weather coat whose upper end contacts the lower surface of the sliding roof. While laying the strip, a lip is placed in the packing, the upper end of which is higher than the support frame and is located near the lower surface of the sliding roof and is not in contact with the lower surface.
By erecting between the flocked weather strip and the rear edge of the opening, and by providing a water receiving groove between the lip and the flocked weather strip, the lower surface of the sliding roof and Since the gap between the rear edge of the opening and the rear edge of the opening is closed by the flocked weather strip, which has extremely low frictional resistance and has good followability to the contact surface, the sliding roof can slide smoothly on the guide rail. In addition, the gap between the lower surface of the sliding roof and the rear edge of the opening is always reliably closed, and at the same time, the flocked weather strip passes through the flocked weather strip and scatters toward the opening side. Since water is reliably received by the lip and accommodated in the water receiving groove, it is possible to reliably prevent water that has passed through the flocked weather strip from entering the vehicle interior through the opening. I was able to do it.
