Description

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

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 through packing, and a sliding roof is slidably attached to the guide rail, and a flocked weather strip is provided on the rear edge of the opening. A gap between the rear edge of the opening and the lower surface of the sliding roof is closed to prevent rainwater from entering from the rear edge of the opening.

However, for example, when washing a car or parking the car in the open on a slope on a rainy day, car wash water or rainwater accumulates in the space surrounded by the flocked weather strip and the guide rail behind the weather strip, causing the car wash water and rainwater to accumulate on the rail. There is a problem in that a large amount of water flows into the weather strip, or this water overflows the weather strip and enters the vehicle interior through the opening, potentially staining the vehicle interior.

The present invention was devised in view of these circumstances, and its purpose is to smoothly drain water accumulated in the space surrounded by the weather strip and the guide rail behind the weather strip. It is an object of the present invention to provide a drainage structure for an automobile equipped with a sliding roof that can be used as a sliding roof.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A drainage structure for an automobile equipped with a sliding roof according to the present invention will be described below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes the roof of a wagon-type automobile, and the roof 1 has a constant slope toward both sides in the vehicle width direction, 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 this opening 10.

2 is viewed from a plane consisting of a cross rail 2a along the front edge of the opening 10 of the roof 1, and side rails 2b, 2b extending toward the rear of the vehicle body from both ends of the cross rail 2a along the left and right edges of the opening 10. The guide rail is approximately U-shaped, and the support wall 21 of the sliding roof 3 and the peripheral edge of the sliding roof 3 fit into the inner surface of the guide rail 2 facing the opening 10. A section 22 is provided.

The guide rail 2 is fixed at a position separated from the flange 11 by a predetermined distance via packing 4 by fixing means such as bolts.

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 flocked weather strip 5a attached to a rail 50a having a substantially C-shaped cross section is attached to a bolt 51 through a packing 6a.
Furthermore, a flocked weather strip 5b provided around the rail 50b in the same manner as above is also installed near the rear edge side corner of the opening 10.
is attached via packing 6b.

Moreover, the opening 1 in the packing 6a
A lip 61 rising toward the sliding roof 3 is integrally formed on the side portion of the sliding roof 3.
A water receiving groove 62 is provided between the weather strip 1 and the rail 50a, and the water passing through the weather strip 5a is received by the lip 61 and the water passing through the weather strip 5a is received by the water receiving groove 62.
It is intended to be accommodated in

Therefore, the present invention provides the weather strip 5a.
A drainage hole 41 extending in the vehicle width direction is formed in the lower surface of the packing 4 located near the intersection where the weather strip 5a intersects with the weather strip 5a and the rear side of the vehicle body than the weather strip 5a, The weather strip 5a and both side rails 2 on the rear side of the vehicle body than the weather strip 5a.
The water accumulated in the space S surrounded by the side rails 2b and 2b is discharged outward in the vehicle width direction of the side rails 2b and 2b through the drainage hole 41.

In addition, in the embodiment shown in the figure, a water drain passage 42 is provided in the front part of the packing 4 from the weather strip 5a, which is open on both sides in the width direction of the packing 4 and has a middle path bent in the length direction of the packing. , so that the water in the water receiving groove 62 can be discharged from the water drain passage 42 to the outside of the vehicle.

In the figure, 7 is a reinforcing member provided around the lower surface of the periphery of the opening 10 in the roof 1, 8 is a gutter formed between the guide rail 4 and the flocked weather strip 5a, and the flange 11, and 23 Reference numeral 40 indicates a water drain hole drilled in the guide rail 2, and 40 indicates a weather strip attached to the support wall 21 of the guide rail 2.

The present invention has the above-described structure, and for example, when washing a car, the flocked weather strip 5a provided at the rear edge of the opening 10 and the side rails 2a, 2a located behind the weather strip 5a are The car wash water that flows into the enclosed space S and tends to collect therein is immediately drained to the side of the car through the drainage hole 41 provided in the packing 4 along the slope of the roof 1, as shown by the arrow in FIG. It is.

On the other hand, the car wash water is directly blown onto the weather strip 5a, and a part of it passes through the weather strip 5a and enters the opening 10 side. P5
The water is caught by the lip 61 of the packing 6a interposed between the roof 1 and the roof 1, flows down into the water receiving groove 62, and further flows through the water receiving groove 62 from the end on the guide rail 2 side to the gutter 8. After being once discharged, the water passes through a drain passage 42 provided in the packing 4 on the guide rail 2 side and is discharged outside the vehicle.

As explained above, according to the present invention, water flows into the space surrounded by the weather strip provided at the rear edge of the roof opening and the side rail located behind the weather strip. The car wash water and rainwater that tend to accumulate in the space can be reliably and effectively drained outward in the vehicle width direction of the side rail through the drainage hole located in the inner corner of the space. Therefore, the risk of car wash water, rainwater, etc. overflowing the weather strip and entering the passenger compartment or flowing into the guide rail has been completely eliminated.

Further, according to the present invention, since the drainage hole is formed in the packing, the drainage hole can be formed very easily.
