BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The above and other features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle sunroof operation switch of the present invention has a horizontal operation in which the fixed terminal 12 is contacted to the fixed terminal 12 while being horizontally moved back and forth inside the fixed terminal portion 10 formed by coupling the lower surface. A terminal 21 is coupled to form an operating terminal portion 20, and surrounds the operating terminal portion 20 to form a housing 30 is fixed to the fixed terminal portion 10, the lower portion of the operating terminal portion 20 Combined to move forward and backward is related to a vehicle sunroof operation switch for opening and closing the sunroof installed in the vehicle consisting of the knob 40, the knob support 23 of the operation terminal 20 is exposed to penetrate the vehicle The knob cover 50, which is fixed to the ceiling, rotates to the knob support 23, and is coupled to the knob 40, which is restored by the elastic member 24b after the rotation, thereby closing the knob of the open sunroof ( The closing operation only works when 40) moves horizontally. The sunroof switch 100 is configured to function.

The fixed terminal portion 10 is formed by a plurality of fixed terminals 12 is fixed to the fixed terminal body 13 by insert injection.

Such, the fixed terminal 12 is composed of four in the present invention, the fixed terminal 12 is formed in a pin shape but in the fixed terminal body 13 is configured in an array spread in a thin plate form spaced apart from each other.

The knob support 23 protrudingly coupled to the operation terminal body 22 of the operation terminal unit 20 is exposed through and recessed inward so that the knob 40 is not protruded by being fixed to the ceiling of the vehicle. A knob cover 50 having a space 51 is formed, and an upper end of the knob support 23 is caught by the operating terminal body 22, and a lower end passes through a ceiling of the knob cover 50 to allow the knob ( 40) is configured to be fixed to the insertion hook on the upper surface.

The knob 40 is coupled to the end of the knob support 23 so as to return by an elastic force after the eccentric rotation.

Here, the locking jaw 53 is formed in the direction in which the knob 40 moves forward to close the sunroof on the rear ceiling surface 52 of the knob cover 50 in which the knob support 23 is located.

That is, when the rear end 41 of the knob 40 is pressurized, the locking protrusion 42 is caught by the locking jaw 53 to block the movement of the operation terminal 20 coupled to the knob support 23 to cut the sun. Configure the loop to not close.

In addition, hinge pins 24a protruding outward are formed on both front sides of the coupling tool 24 formed at the ends of the knob support 23 so that the knob 40 is eccentrically rotated based on the hinge pins 24a. It fits together.

On the other hand, the inner end of the knob 40 is supported by the elastic member 24b on the opposite end where the hinge pin 24a is formed and presses the rear end 41 of the knob 40 to reference the hinge pin 24a. After the eccentric rotation to remove the pressing force is configured to return by the elastic force of the elastic member (24b).

Here, the hinge pin 24a is eccentrically positioned on one side of the knob support 23 so that the rotation distance is increased when the rear end 41 of the knob 40 is pressed.

Thus, when the knob 40 does not move horizontally in the operation direction for closing the sunroof and the rear end 41 is pressed, the locking protrusion 42 of the knob 40 is caught by the knob cover 50. It is configured to prevent the sunroof from being closed by being locked by the 53 and restricting the forward movement of the operation terminal 20.

Hereinafter, the operation and operation of the present invention will be described.

First, the sunroof switch 100 is connected to receive the power of the vehicle, while the housing 30 is connected to the ceiling of the vehicle so that the fixed terminal 12 of the fixed terminal unit 10 is a terminal contact to the drive unit of the sunroof. Install while fixing the landfill.

In addition, the knob cover 50 is coupled to the knob support 23 of the operation terminal unit 20 so that the knob cover 50 is fixed to the ceiling of the vehicle.

In addition, the hinge pin 24a of the coupling tool 24 formed at the end of the knob support 23 is inserted into and coupled to a hinge hole (not shown in the drawing) formed at both inner sides of the knob 40 to adjust the knob ( 40 is coupled to rotate.

At this time, the inner surface of the opposite knob 40 coupled with the hinge pin 24a is in contact with the elastic member 24b and completes installation.

Here, looking at the installation position of the sunroof switch 100, the rear end 41 of the knob 40 is located toward the rear of the vehicle, and in the present invention, the knob 40 is pushed toward the front of the vehicle for explanation. It is assumed that the sunroof is closed in a forward direction, and the rear side of the vehicle is assumed to be in a rearward direction in which the sunroof is pulled.

First, when the sunroof is closed, when the knob 40 of the sunroof switch 100 is pushed backward, the pushing force is applied to the knob 40-> the coupling hole 24-> knob support 23-> operating terminal part. It is transmitted to the operation terminal body 22 of (20).

At this time, when the horizontal operation terminal 21 coupled to the operation terminal body 22 is in contact with the sunroof open terminal arrangement of the fixed terminal 12, the sunroof is opened while being pushed backwards.

On the contrary, when the knob 40 is pushed forward to close the sunroof, the pushing force is applied to the operating terminal body of the knob 40-> coupler 24-> knob support 23-> operating terminal portion 20 ( 22), when the horizontal operating terminal 21 coupled to the operating terminal body 22 is in contact with the sunroof closed terminal array of the fixed terminal 12, the sunroof is closed by pushing forward.

In this way, children can often see their surroundings by exposing their heads and necks to the outside through an open sunroof while the vehicle is running or stationary. It will stay on.

However, when the child moves the leg while standing on the seat, there occurs a case in which the knob 40 is pushed forward so that a protruding portion such as a knee presses the rear end 41 of the knob 40. This often happens.

At this time, when the knee presses the rear end 41 of the knob 40, the knob 40 is eccentrically rotated upward based on the hinge pin 23a.

In this way, the knob 40 is rotated, the locking protrusion 42 is caught on the locking jaw 53 of the knob cover 50.

Accordingly, even if the knob 40 is locked to the locking jaw 53 by the knob cover 50 fixed to the ceiling of the vehicle, the knob 40 may be operated by the knob cover 50 even if a continuous pressing force or a sliding force acting forward is applied. ) So that the movable terminal unit 20 does not move forward to generate a closed operation signal of the sunroof.

That is, when the pressing force acting in the upper direction to the knob 40 is applied to the sunroof can not generate a signal that the sunroof is closed, the open sunroof will not be closed to prevent the safety accident that the body is narrowed in the sunroof There is this.

On the other hand, when the knob 40 is pressed, the elastic member 24b is pressed by the knob 40 which is pressed. When the pressing force is removed, the knob 40 is first released by the restoring force of the elastic member 24b. It will return to the horizontal position of.

In addition, the knob 40 is eccentrically coupled by the hinge pin 24a, so that the front end of the knob 40 is close to the hinge pin 24a, and the rear end is formed at a distance so that the rear end 41 is small. When the pressing force acts, the locking projection 42 is caught by the engaging jaw 53 of the knob cover 50 within a short time while being rotated at a large rotation radius and distance so that the operation terminal 20 is not operable.
