Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily locate a position of connecting both slide roof and tilt mechanism and a drive wire for preventing wear by connecting both slide roof and tilt mechanism to an end of the drive wire to contact the drive wire side only when a lock member is slided. CONSTITUTION:When an opening 10 is opened, a drive wire 80 is pulled to the drive source side, and a tilt mechanism 60 is driven to lift the rear portion of a slide. Thereafter, the tilt mechanism 60 is disconnected from an end of the drive wire 80. Thus, a slide roof 20 is slided after the completion of loose movement with the drive wire 80. When the opening 10 is closed, the drive wire 80 is pushed out of the drive source and the remaining operations are carried out according to the quite reverse procedures to the opening ones. Further, a tilt guide 90 can engage a release portion 37 of rear end of a tilt guide rail 33 in the drive of drive wire 80 in the closing direction and be disengaged from said portion 37 into the release condition in the drive of drive wire in the opening direction. And the released condition is released when a lock press member on an end of the drive wire 80 presses a lock member 39.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an outer slide roof device in which a slide roof slides on the outside of the roof.

(Prior Art) As a conventional outer slide roof device, for example, one described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-6131 is known.

This conventional device is equipped with a slide roof and a tilt-up device (tilt mechanism), and one end of a cable (drive wire) whose middle part is connected to a drive source is connected to the slide roof side and the other end is connected to the tilt-up device side. That's what I did.

Therefore, it was possible to operate both the slide roof and the tilt-up device with a single cable.

In addition, a tilt guide is provided between the tilt-up device and the cable, and the cable restricts the rotation of the triangular piece of the tilt guide to prevent the tilt guide from sliding during tilt-up. This was done by maintaining the engaged state.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional device as described above, since the slide roof and the tilt-up device are connected at both ends of the cable (drive wire), the following problems occur. There were problems described in .

The sliding of the sliding roof and the operation of the tilt-up device are as follows: The sliding roof is raised by the tilt-up device and then the slide roof is slid open, and the sliding roof is slid open and the tilt-up device is operated after the sliding roof has finished sliding closed. The timing of the operation must be accurate so that the lowering operation is performed.

Therefore, in order to obtain this timing of operation with conventional equipment, it is necessary to accurately position the connection of the cable with the slide roof and tilt-up device when assembling the equipment, and to ensure the assembly accuracy of the cable routing section. Since the reconnection positions are far apart, the positioning work is difficult and time-consuming, and the cost increases due to ensuring assembly accuracy.

Furthermore, since the triangular piece that regulates the slide of the tilt guide is suppressed by the cable and its rotation is restricted, and the cable slides, the triangular piece and the cable tend to wear out due to friction between them. There was a point.

(Means for Solving the Problems) Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the outer sliding roof device of the first invention, an opening is formed in the vehicle body roof, and the sliding roof is inserted into the opening. In an outer slide roof device, the outer slide roof device is provided so as to be slidable on the outside of the slide roof, and a tilt mechanism is provided between the slide roof and the vehicle body to move the rear part of the slide roof up and down,
During operation of the tilt mechanism in which driving force is transmitted to the tilt mechanism, the tip of the drive wire whose rear end side is connected to the drive source is
The drive wire moves freely with respect to the slide roof side, and the drive wire is connected to the slide roof side so that the connection between the tilt mechanism side and the drive wire is severed during sliding of the slide roof where driving force is transmitted to the slide roof side. In the 7-side sliding roof device of the second invention, an opening is formed in the vehicle roof, a sliding roof is provided in the opening so as to be slidable on the outside of the roof, and In an outer slide roof device in which a tilt mechanism is provided between the roof and the vehicle body to raise and lower the rear part of the slide roof, the tip of a drive wire whose rear end is connected to a drive source is connected to the slide roof side. A floating part is provided between the slide roof and the drive wire, which is connected to both sides of the tilt mechanism, and allows the drive wire to swing relative to the slide roof during operation of the tilt mechanism. The tilt guide is formed to be actuated via the slide of the tilt guide engaged with the tilt guide, and the tilt guide is slidably guided, and the tilt guide is engageable to drive the drive wire in the closing direction and engaged with the drive wire in the open direction. A tilt guide rail is provided, the rear end of which is formed with a release part for tilting to a released state, and a lock piece is disposed on the tilt guide rail at a position that abuts the tilt guide in the released state and restricts the slide of the tilt guide. A locking member is provided which allows the locking piece to withdraw from the inside of the tilt guide rail and supports the locking piece by urging it in the direction of entry, and the engaged tilt guide is attached to the tip of the drive wire to the locking piece. In order to be able to slide without being restricted by the slide, a lock suppressing member is provided which presses the lock member against the bias and moves the lock piece out of the tilt guide rail.

(Function) In the outer slide roof device of the first invention, when opening the opening, when the drive wire is pulled toward the drive source, the drive force is transmitted from the tip of the drive wire to the tilt mechanism and the tilt mechanism is activated. , First, the rear part of the sliding roof is raised.

Thereafter, when the operation of the tilt mechanism is completed, the connection between the tilt mechanism and the tip of the drive wire is severed, and the movement of the tip of the drive wire with respect to the slide roof ends, and the slide roof is pulled and slid in the opening direction.

Next, when closing the opening, when the drive wire is pushed out from the drive source, the slide roof is first slid in the closing direction, and when the front end of the slide roof reaches the front end of the opening and is in a tilted up state, the drive wire is pushed out from the drive source. The tip of the slider begins to move relative to the slide roof. At the same time, the tip of the drive wire is connected to the tilt mechanism and operated, and the rear part of the slide roof is lowered to close the opening.

:52 In the outer slide roof device of the invention, the tilt mechanism is operated via the slide of the tilt guide,
When the tilt guide reaches the release portion provided at the rear end of the tilt guide rail, the tilt guide enters a released state in which it can be engaged with the driving wire in the closing direction and disengaged with the driving wire in the opening direction.

The released state of the tilt guide is maintained by the lock piece of the lock member coming into contact with the tilt guide within the tilt guide rail and regulating the slide of the tilt guide.

In addition, when the drive wire tip reaches the release part and engages with the tilt guide, the lock suppressing member at the drive wire tip presses the lock member to release the lock piece. It is canceled by exiting from the tilt guide rail.

When the tilt guide slides toward the release part, when the tip of the drive wire approaches the release part, the lock piece is pushed out of the tilt guide rail by the lock suppressing member, and the tilt guide is slid.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 12, the main body 391 extends until the lock release pressure receiving part 393 approaches the drive wire guide rail 32, and tilts from the side of the four parts 301 formed on the main frame 30. It is formed to be bendable so that it can be restored into the guide rail by its own spring force.

Moreover, the lock piece 392 is withdrawn from the lock hole 331 formed in the tilt guide rail 33 when the main body 391 is in the bent state shown in FIG.

The tilt mechanism 60 is provided on both sides of the rear part of the slide roof 20, and is used to tilt up the slide roof 20 by raising and lowering the rear part of the slide roof 20, or to tilt it down from the tilt-up position. is equipped with a tilt link 61.

The tilt link 61 is rotatably provided between the slide roof 20 and the tip of the arm frame portion 35 of the main frame 30, and is rotatable from a substantially horizontal state to the upright side and from the upright state to the horizontal side. This tilt link 61 raises and lowers the rear part of the slide roof 20.
As shown in the cross-sectional views of FIGS. 4 and 8, the intermediate portion is rotatably pivoted to the tilt link coupling pin 48 of the guide frame 40, and is attached to the tip of the arm portion 51 of the tilt frame 50. It is slidably supported by a tilt bracket 62 provided, and its lower end is slidably supported by a main frame side bracket 63 fixed to the tip of the arm frame part 35 by a lower pin 611,
Further, the upper end portion is slidably supported by the tilt bracket 62 by an upper pin 612.

The main frame side bracket 63 is formed with a lower pin slide hole 631 that slides and guides the tilt link 61 in the front-back direction.

The tilt bracket 62 is fixed to the tilt frame 50 by the support pins 54,54, and
A coupling pin slide hole 621 for rotating the tilt link 61 by movement accompanying the slide of the tilt frame 50, and an upper pin slide hole 6 as a guide elongated hole.
22 is formed.

This upper pin slide hole 622 is formed facing upward on the front side, and is formed so as to be further away from the coupling pin slide hole 621 as it goes toward the front side.

Here, the operation of the tilt mechanism 60 will be further explained.

In the tilt link 61, when the slide roof 20 is closed, the upper pin 612 and the tilt link coupling pin 48 are located at the rear end portions of the upper pin slide hole 622 and the coupling pin slide hole 621, respectively, as shown in FIG. , the lower pin 611 is located at the rear end of the lower pin slide hole 631.

Therefore, when the tilt frame 50 is slid backward and the tilt bracket 62 is moved backward, the upper pin 612
．． The tilt link coupling pin 48 is connected to both holes 622 and 6, respectively.
The tilt link 61 is slid forward with respect to the guide frame 40 and the upper pin slide hole 622 is upwardly forward and away from the coupling pin slide hole 621. The upper pin 612 is rotated about 48 to move upward, lifting the tilt bracket 62 and with it the rear part of the sliding roof 20.

Note that the tilt link coupling pin 48 is connected to the guide frame 40.
The lower pin 611 is slid forward through the lower pin slide hole 631.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lower pin 611 and the upper pin 612 reach the front ends of both slide holes 631 and 622, the rotation of the tilt link 61 is stopped and the rise of the slide roof 20 is also stopped. It is something that will be done.

As described above, the tilt link 61 rotates around the tilt link coupling pin 48 with the lower pin 611 sliding back and forth, unlike simply rotating around the lower end, as shown in FIG. , as can be seen by comparing FIG. 4, compared to a link that simply swings around its lower end position, the lower pin 61 as shown in FIG.
Since the rear fixed roof 103 can be slid under the rear fixed roof 103 by the rear sliding amount of 1, the amount of protrusion toward the indoor side is reduced. It is smaller because the rotation radius is smaller than the rotation space.

The electric motor 70 serves as a drive source for the outer slide roof device A. The electric motor 70 is disposed below the rear fixed roof 103 at the rear end of the main frame 30, and connects drive wires 80 and 80. Tension: Provided to be extrudable.

The drive wire 80 transmits the drive force of the electric motor 70 to the slide roof 20, the tilt frame 50, etc. The drive wire 80 is a wire wound around the outer circumference in a spiral shape to form a gear. and is provided so as to be slidable within the drive wire guide rail 32 of the main frame 30, and a slider 81 is provided at the tip.

As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 9, the slider 81 is composed of a plate portion 82 connected to the drive wire 80, and a link portion 83 provided on the outside of the plate portion 82. A roller 82 is provided at the bottom of the plate portion 82.
1,821 are provided.

A tilt drive transmission piece 84 that can engage with the transmission rollers 922 of the tilt guide 90 is provided upright on the vehicle body center side of the plate portion 82, and the lock member 39
Lock pressing piece 8 that can press the lock release pressure receiving part 393 of
5 is formed.

The tilt drive transmission piece 84 is provided so as to be able to move in and out between the pair of transmission rollers 922, 922 provided on the roller link 92, and is provided with an inclined surface such that its upper part descends as it goes rearward. There is. When the slide roof 20 in which the drive wire 80 is in a floating state is tilted up from closed and from tilted up to closed, the transmission piece 84
is located between the rollers 922 and 922, and during sliding when the drive wire 80 is engaged with the slide roof 20, the rear transmission roller 922 located in the release portion 37 is pushed up by the inclined surface to bring the tilt guide 90 into the released state. and has come off from between the transmission rollers 922, 922.

The lock pressing piece 85 prevents the slide of the tilt guide 90 for operating the tilt mechanism 60 from the lock member 3.
9 so that the tilt drive transmission piece 8 is not obstructed.
When the tilt guide 90 engaged with the tilt guide 4 passes, the lock piece 392 is moved out of the tilt guide rail 33. Part of the car body 1
00 is formed to extend toward the center and is bent downward to form a pressing surface 851.

Further, the row 2 pressing piece 85 is connected to the tilt drive transmission piece 8.
When sliding the lock piece 4 backward, the tilt guide roller 921 on the rear side of the tilt guide 90 in the engaged state
92, and when sliding the tilt drive transmission piece 84 forward, the tilt drive transmission piece 84 moves toward the front tilt guide roller 92.
The lock piece is formed in such a positional relationship that the lock piece finishes retracting at the same time as it comes into contact with 1.

Further, the link portion 83 includes a slider bracket 831
, slider links 832 and 833, a long hole 834 is formed in the slider bracket 831, and a pin provided at the lower end of the slider link 832 is slidably inserted into the long hole 834. The roller 821 is provided at.

Further, a slider link 833 is pivotally supported at the tip of the slider bracket 831, and the tip of the slider link 833 is pivotally supported in the middle of the slider link 832.

A slide transmission pin is provided at the tip of the slider link 832, and a roller 836 is inserted into the floating long hole 26 formed in the roof bracket 23 and inserted into the roof guide rail 44 of the guide frame 40. 835 is provided.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained.

First, the case where the slide roof 20 is opened will be explained.

When the electric motor 70 is driven open, the drive wire 80 is pulled, and the slider 81 is slid toward the rear of the vehicle from the state shown in FIG.

As the slider 81 slides backward, the slide transmission pin 835 slides within the roof guide rail 44 and the floating elongated hole 26, and at the same time, the tilt guide 9 engaged with the tilt drive transmission piece 84 of the slider 81 by the transmission roller 922.
0 is also slid backwards.

As the slide transmission pin 835 slides, the position where both the roof guide rail 44 and the floating elongated hole 26 overlap moves rearward, and thereby the roof bracket 23 on the floating elongated hole 26 side is raised.

Further, as the tilt guide 90 slides rearward, the tilt frame 50 to which the tilt guide 90 is connected is slid rearward along the guide frame 40, and as described above, the tilt frame 50 is slid rearward along the guide frame 40. performs a tilt-up operation, and the tilt link 61 is rotated in the upright direction.

Tilt mechanism 6 that involves lifting of the roof bracket 23 described above
By the tilt-up operation of 0, the slide roof 20 rotates around the front end position and the rear part is raised.

Then, when the roller link 9z of the tilt guide 90 approaches the release part 37 of the tilt guide rail 33, the eleventh
As shown in the figure, the lock pressing piece 85 of the slider 81 contacts and presses the lock release pressure receiving part 393 of the locking member 39 and bends the main body 391, so that the locking piece 392 is withdrawn from the tilt guide rail 33.

The tilt guide 90 passes when the lock piece 392 is in the retracted state, and the rear tilt guide roller 921 reaches the release part 37 and is guided to its upward bent shape, and the tilt guide 90 transmits the tilt drive. The rear transmission roller 922 is pushed up on the upper slope of the piece 84,
The roller link 92 tilts and enters the released state shown in FIG. 4 in which it is disengaged from the tilt drive transmission piece 84.

When this tilt guide 90 is in the released state,
The tilt link 61 is completely rotated and the tilt-up operation of the tilt mechanism 60 is completed.

At the same time, the lock pressing piece 85 of the slider 81 also passes through the locking member 39, and the pressing force on the lock release pressure receiving part 393 is removed, and as shown in FIG. 12, the locking piece 392 enters again and guides the tilt guide. The tilt guide 90 comes into contact with the front side of the tilt guide roller 921 on the front side of the tilt guide 90.
The sliding roof 20 is held in a tilt-up position.

If the electric motor 70 is stopped when the tilt-up operation of the tilt mechanism 60 is completed, the outer slide roof device A is maintained in the tilt-up state.

In addition, as the rear part of the slide roof 20 is raised, the front part of the slide roof 20 is also raised so that the center of rotation of the slide roof 20 when it is tilted up is located near the outer seal 21 at its front end. Therefore, outer seal 21
This prevents the inner seal 106 from being pressed with excessive force, the tilt mechanism 60 from being overloaded, and a gap from forming between the front end of the slide roof 20 and the front fixed roof 102.

When the electric motor 70 is further driven from the above-mentioned tilt-up state, the slider links 832 and 8 of the slider 81
33 is being erected, the slide transmission pin 835 is moved rearward within the roof guide rail 44, and the sliding roof 20 starts sliding backwards.

In addition, when the slide roof 20 slides, the central front part of the slide roof 20 is slid and guided by the guide roller 25 provided on the roof bracket 23 and the roof guide rail 44 of the guide frame 40.
The left and right sides are slide-guided by a side guide rail 24 provided on the roof site rail portion 22 and rollers 53, 53 provided on the tilt frame 50.

Then, when the slider 81 comes into contact with the stopper 38 provided at the rear end of the slider guide rail 31, the sliding of the slide roof 20 is stopped and the driving of the electric motor 70 is stopped.

Next, a case in which the slide roof 20 is closed will be described.

When the electric motor 70 is driven to close, the drive wire 80 is pushed out, and the slider 81 is slid forward within the slider guide rail 31.

As the slider 81 slides forward, driving force is transmitted from the slide transmission pin 835 to the roof bracket 23, and the slide roof 20 begins to slide forward. At this time, the position of the floating elongated hole 26 is set to the roof guide rail 44.
When the slide transmission pin 835 moves downward relative to the guide roller 25, the slide transmission pin 835 moves freely within the floating elongated hole 26.
The roof bracket 23 is connected to the roof guide rail 4 by
4, the slide transmission pin 835 transmits the driving force without any movement.

After that, the front end of the slide lou 220 is connected to the front fixed roof 1.
