Folding guide device for normal storage of fabric deflector of panoramic sunroof for vehicle

The present invention relates to a panoramic sunroof for a vehicle, and more particularly, by guiding the folding of the fabric deflector when the sunroof is blocked, folding induction for the normal storage of the fabric deflector of a panoramic sunroof for a vehicle that enables quick and accurate storage of the deflector It relates to the device.

In the panoramic sunroof, which provides light and a sense of openness by placing glass on the front of the ceiling of the vehicle, there are a partially open type that partially opens the glass and a fully open type that can completely open the glass. The glass that constitutes the sunroof has been subjected to various heat treatments and shading treatments to block ultraviolet and infrared rays as well as strong solar heat, and furthermore, it is made of high-strength material to prevent injuries to passengers by glass fragments in case of an accident.

Since the panoramic sunroof has a larger glass size than the general sunroof, the mechanical structure to drive it is relatively complex, and the structure in which rear rails to move the front glass when fully opened are arranged on both sides of the rear glass. Have.

Meanwhile, a deflector is installed in front of the opening of the roof panel on which the panoramic sunroof is mounted. The deflector functions to prevent the running wind when driving with the sunroof open from flowing directly into the vehicle through the opening. For example, it raises the stream line of the driving wind upward.

Such a deflector for a sunroof includes a power type that operates using a separate electric transmission device and a spring type that uses an elastic force of a spring. The spring-type deflector automatically rises when the front glass is opened, and when it is blocked, it is pressed against the front glass and descends.

Further, the deflector may be divided into an outer type positioned in front of the weather strip fixed to the front frame and an inner type positioned behind the weather strip. The outer type deflector rises quickly, is advantageous in blocking noise, and is also advantageous in terms of the open length of the glass compared to the inner type deflector.

1 and 2 are configuration diagrams for explaining the basic structure and problems of the conventional inner type deflector 21. Fig. 1 shows the deflector (21) in a fully deployed state, and Fig. 2 is a view when the deflector (21) is stored in the storage space (17).

Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that the lower fixing plate 15 is installed at the rear end of the front frame, and the deflector 21 is connected to the lower fixing plate 15.

The deflector seal 23 is coupled to the deflector 21 by a sewing method and is mounted on the lower fixing plate 15.

In addition, the deflector bar 25 is fixed to the upper end of the deflector 21. The deflector bar 25 maintains an elevated state by, for example, the above-described spring and supports the deflector 21 in tension.

By the way, in the conventional deflector 21 described above, when the sunroof is blocked, the deflector 21 is not easily accommodated in the storage space 17 in many cases. In other words, it is difficult to regulate the folding direction of the deflector.

For example, in a situation in which the deflector 21 loses elasticity while the deflector bar 25 is descending, when a headwind in the direction of arrow a is applied, the deflector 21 is folded forward as shown in FIG. 2 and the weather strip 19 ) May be overlapped on top of. Since the front glass (not shown) is lowered on the top of the weather strip 19, the deflector 21 is eventually interposed between the weather strip 19 and the front glass.

When such a situation occurs, the panoramic sunroof is not sealed, for example, noise or vibration is generated, and indoor air conditioning becomes impossible and fine dust or soot is introduced.

Hereinafter, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Basically, the folding guide device of the present invention is housed in the storage space provided in the front frame of the panoramic sunroof, and when the sunroof is opened, it rises and spreads tightly, and when the sunroof is closed, the fabric deflector descends toward the storage space. A holder that induces storage and is installed on the floor of the storage space and provides a supporting force; It consists of a rotation shaft portion supported to be axially rotatable to the holder, a first plate portion integrally formed with the rotation shaft portion and extending in a direction away from the rotation shaft portion, and a second plate portion bent at a predetermined angle with respect to the first plate portion. , A folding guide plate that is coupled to the deflector and rotates downward in a direction opposite to the vehicle traveling direction when the sunroof is closed, and folds the deflector to receive it in the storage space.

3 is a view showing the structure of a folding induction device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The folding guide device according to this embodiment is installed in the storage space 17 provided in the front frame 13, and serves to restrict the movement of the deflector 21 when the sunroof is closed, that is, when the glass is closed. Do it. The reason for restraining the movement is to more quickly and accurately accommodate the deflector 21 in the storage space 17.

The deflector 21 is a fabric member made of a fabric material. When the sunroof is opened, the deflector 21 spreads upward and becomes taut by the action of a separate spring (not shown), and descends when the sunroof is closed.

3 shows the deflector 21 unfolded in a taut state, and FIG. 5 shows the deflector 21 in the storage space 17 by the action of the folding guide plate 31 of the present embodiment (as the sunroof is closed). Shows the appearance of being accommodated in the interior.

Fig. 4 shows a state in which the sunroof is closed, and the deflector bar 25 descends in the direction of the arrow z, and accordingly, the deflector 21 is folded.

Anyway, the folding guide device according to the present embodiment includes a holder 15 installed on the floor of the storage space 17 and providing support, and a folding guide plate 31 that rotates while being supported by the holder 15 Includes. The rotational motion is a motion in which the holder 15 is used as a rotation axis and rotates in the vertical direction.

The folding guide plate 31 includes a rotating shaft portion 31a, a first flat plate portion 31b, and a second flat plate portion 31c. The rotation shaft part 31a is a part supported by being fitted to the holder 15 so as to be axially rotatable. The folding guide plate 31 rotates up and down with respect to the rotation shaft portion 31a.

The first flat plate portion 31b is integrally formed with the rotation shaft portion 31a, so to speak, and has a predetermined thickness as a portion extending in a direction away from the rotation shaft portion 31a. In addition, the second flat plate portion 31c is a plate-shaped portion of a predetermined thickness bent at a predetermined angle with respect to the first flat plate portion 31b. The angle between the first plate portion 31b and the second plate portion 31c is 100 degrees to 170 degrees. In addition, the extended length L2 of the second flat plate 31c is 2 to 4 times the extended length L2 of the first flat plate 31b.

In addition, two rows of support protrusions 31e are formed at a portion where the first plate portion 31b and the second plate portion 31c meet and at the end portion of the second plate portion 31c, respectively. Each support protrusion (31e) is supported in a state that accommodates the compression band (32) therebetween. A description of the support protrusion 31e will be described later in a while.

The deflector 21 is tightly fixed to one side of the folding guide plate 31, that is, the opposite side of the surface on which the support protrusion 31e is formed. Fixing of the deflector 21 to the folding guide plate 31 may be implemented by an adhesive method. The fixing method of the deflector 21 to the folding guide plate 31 can be variously changed according to the situation.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a deflector bar. The deflector bar 25 is a member that is coupled to the upper end of the deflector 21 and extends in the horizontal direction, and when the sunroof is closed, it is pushed down in the direction of the arrow z, and when it is opened, it rises by receiving the elastic force of the spring (not shown). Thus, the deflector 21 is kept taut.

Meanwhile, the compression band 32 accommodates a folding guide plate 31 and a deflector 21 (in a laminated state) therein as a closed curved member. The deflector 21 is in close contact with the folding guide plate 31 by the action of the compression band 32. The compression band 32 prevents the deflector 21 from spreading from the folding guide plate 31. In addition, as described above, each compression band 32 is fitted between the support protrusions 31e. Since the crimping band 32 is supported by the support protrusion 31e, there is no fear that the position of the crimping band 32 will change even if the use is long.

The compression band may be a band made of a high elastic synthetic fiber, a rubber band, or a steel band.

4 and 5 are views for explaining an operating method of the folding induction device shown in FIG. 3.

First, when the in-vehicle sunroof closing switch is operated, the deflector bar 25, which was tightly supporting the deflector 21, descends in the direction of the arrow z. At this time, the folding guide plate 31 is at the rear of the vehicle by its own weight, That is, it rotates clockwise in the drawing. At the same time, the deflector 21 also descends.

In particular, the folding guide plate 31 folds the almost central portion of the deflector 21 while rotating downward in the rear direction, and descends together with the folded deflector 21. In particular, even if the deflector 21 is displaced forward due to a sudden blow of headwind in the direction of arrow a in the above-described storage process, the deflector 21 does not reach the weather strip 19. For reference, in the previous case, as described with reference to FIG. 2, the deflector 21 is completely folded forward and spans the top of the weather strip.

When the deflector bar 25 is completely lowered in the state of FIG. 4, the downward rotation of the folding guide plate 31 is completed, and the deflector bar 25, the deflector 21, and the folding guide plate 31 are stored in the storage space 17. ) It will be inserted inside the currency exchange. In this state, the storage space is covered by the front glass (not shown) of the sunroof.

6 and 7 are views for explaining the configuration and operation of another folding induction device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view showing the position adjustment screw and the deflector hanger shown in FIG. 6.

In the folding guide device shown in Fig. 6, a deflector hanger 37 and a position adjustment unit 34 are further provided. The deflector hanger 37 is a member fixed to the second flat plate 31c but protruding outside the rotation radius of the folding guide plate 31, and is applied to fold the deflector 21 at a higher point.

That is, it serves to fold the deflector 21 between the end of the second flat plate 31c and the deflector bar 25. In other words, when the folding guide plate 31 is rotated downwardly while extending to the outside of the free end of the second flat plate 31c, the deflector is pressed and folded downward. This deflector hanger 37 can be used when the storage space 17 has sufficient space.

The deflector hanger 37 is integrally formed at both ends of the horizontal extension 37a and the horizontal extension 37a, which are spaced parallel to the second flat plate 31c, and faces a through hole 31d to be described later. It includes a leg portion 37b and a friction coating 37c surrounding the horizontal extension portion 37a. The friction coating 37c prevents slipping of the deflector 21 with respect to the horizontal extension 37a, and surrounds the horizontal extension 37a and has a sawtooth pattern on its outer surface.

In addition, bearings 35c are provided on both leg portions 37b. The bearing 35c prevents the rotational force of the male screw rod 35b, which will be described later, from being transmitted to the leg portion 37b, and can be idle while supported by the leg portion 37b. In other words, it is in vain.

The position adjustment unit 34 is located on the opposite side of the deflector hanger 37 with the second flat plate 31c interposed therebetween, and is manipulated by the user to the deflector hanger 37 with respect to the second flat plate 31c. It plays a role in adjusting the spacing. In order to install the positioning part 34, a square through hole 31d is formed at the tip of the second flat plate part 31c.

The position adjusting part 34 includes a female screw bracket 33 and a position adjusting screw 35. The female screw bracket 33 is an iron piece that provides the female screw hole 33a and is fixed to the lower portion of the through hole 31d.

In addition, the positioning screw 35 is fitted in the female screw hole 33a and is fixed to the ends of the male screw rod 35b and the male screw rod 35b connected to the bearing 35c through the through hole 31d. It consists of a handle (35a). The angle θ between the male threaded rod 35b with respect to the second flat plate 31c is 30 degrees to 45 degrees. It goes without saying that the deflector hanger 37 can be positioned in the direction of the arrow m or the opposite direction by rotating the adjustment handle 35a left and right.

The deflector hanger 37 having the above configuration is a storage space 17 in a state where the deflector bar 25 is lowered together with the polling induction plate 31, while the deflector 21 is folded and folded, as shown in FIG. It completes the normal storage of the deflector by seating it.

In the above, the present invention has been described in detail through specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible by those of ordinary skill in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
