Definitions
- the present invention relates to a technique for improving an opening / closing device for a vehicle opening.
- the opening / closing device for an opening of a vehicle opens and closes various openings by an opening / closing body.
- an opening / closing device for opening for example, a device that opens and closes a trunk opening with a trunk lid is known from Patent Document 1.
- a vehicle opening / closing device known from Patent Document 1 is a trunk opening formed in a rear portion of a vehicle body, a trunk lid that opens and closes the trunk opening, and the trunk lid can swing to the vehicle body. And a torsion bar for urging the hinge arm in the opening direction of the trunk lid.
- one end of the torsion bar is connected to the vehicle body with its relative rotation restricted.
- the other end of the torsion bar is formed in a substantially crank shape that is bent outward in the radial direction of the bar, and a resin-made elastic pipe is rotatably fitted around the center of the pipe at the end of the crank portion.
- the biasing force of the torsion bar is transmitted to the hinge arm via the elastic pipe.
- the hinge arm opens the trunk lid by the biasing force.
- the crank part is also twisted in the same direction.
- the elastic pipe fitted in the crank portion can be inclined relative to the hinge arm. That is, the elastic pipe does not uniformly contact the hinge arm, and may be biased. Therefore, the biasing force of the torsion bar acts on the hinge arm in a direction slightly different from the opening direction of the trunk lid. Such a phenomenon is disadvantageous in achieving smooth swinging of the hinge arm and the trunk lid.
- the opening / closing speed of the trunk lid is an optimum speed.
- the swing speed of the hinge arm is required to be set to an optimum value.
- little sliding friction is generated between the elastic pipe that is rotatably fitted to the torsion bar and the hinge arm. Since the swing speed of the hinge arm depends only on the urging force of the torsion bar, it is not always an optimum value.
- the opening / closing body that opens and closes the opening formed in the vehicle body
- the hinge arm that supports the opening / closing body on the vehicle body so as to be swingable
- the hinge arm that opens the opening / closing body
- An opening / closing device for an opening of a vehicle including a torsion bar biased toward the slide rail portion provided on the surface of the hinge arm, and sliding in the longitudinal direction of the hinge arm guided by the slide rail portion
- a slider capable of being held in surface contact with the slide rail portion in the urging direction of the torsion bar.
- the torsion bar is connected to the slider.
- An opening / closing device for the opening is provided.
- the slider has a bar connection opening for connecting the torsion bar by fitting, and the bar connection opening biases the hinge arm by the torsion bar. It opens in the opposite direction to the direction to do.
- the opening is configured by a trunk opening provided at a rear portion of the vehicle body, and the opening / closing body is configured by a trunk lid that opens and closes the trunk opening,
- the slide rail portion is located in front of the arm base end portion of the hinge arm, and the support center of the torsion bar is located behind the swing center of the hinge arm.
- the slide rail portion has a stopper for defining a lower limit position where the slider can be lowered with respect to the slide rail portion, and the lower limit position is the arm base. It is set at the lowest descending operation position where the slider descends most according to the swing movement of the end portion, or a position where a certain allowance is added to the lowest descending operation position.
- the position of the slider relative to the slide rail portion in a state where the trunk lid is fully opened is set higher than the lowest-down operation position.
- the stopper is configured by a locking convex portion formed on the slide rail portion, and the slider can be locked to the locking convex portion.
- the part is formed.
- the slider is detachably attached to the slide rail portion from the side opposite to the stopper.
- the bar connection opening is constituted by a groove portion extending in a direction orthogonal to the slide direction of the slider with respect to the slide rail portion, and the groove portion is a center in the groove longitudinal direction.
- a central portion located at both ends of the central portion on both sides of the longitudinal direction of the groove, the central portion being formed as a straight groove parallel to the longitudinal direction of the groove, It is formed in the taper groove which spreads toward a groove longitudinal direction outer side from a part.
- the front surface of the arm base end portion includes a first mounting hole located near a swing center of the arm base end portion, and the swing center more than the first mounting hole.
- a second mounting hole located at a position away from the slide rail portion, and the slide rail portion is a member that is configured by a separate member with respect to the arm base end portion and is overlapped with the front surface of the arm base end portion, It has a substantially L-shaped hooking claw portion that hooks into the first mounting hole, and a clip portion that locks into the second mounting hole by a snap fit.
- the slide surface of the slider is preferably held by the urging force of the torsion bar in a state in which the slide surface of the slider is slidably in contact with the slide surface of the slide rail portion.
- the part has a frictional force increasing part having a large frictional force with the slider in a part of the slidable region of the slider.
- the frictional force increasing portion is formed by a raised surface in which a part of the slide surface of the slide rail portion is raised in a direction opposite to a biasing direction of the torsion bar. It is configured.
- the slide rail portion is configured by a substantially flat plate-like member, and the slider has an edge of the slide rail portion from an edge on both sides along the slide direction of the slide surface.
- a pair of arm portions formed in a substantially L shape so as to wrap, the pair of arm portions passing from the slide surface of the slider through the vicinity of the edge of the slide rail portion, the slide rail portion A pair of extending portions extending to the back surface side of the slider, and a pair of folded portions extending in a direction facing each other along the back surface of the slide rail portion from the front ends of the pair of extending portions.
- the size of the interval from the slide surface to the pair of folded portions is set to be larger than the thickness of the slide rail portion.
- the size of the interval is set when the slide surface of the slider slides over the raised surface by sliding with respect to the slide surface of the slide rail portion.
- the pair of folded-back portions is set to a size capable of temporarily contacting the back surface of the slide rail portion.
- the bar position corresponding to the portion to which the torsion bar is connected in the slide surface of the slider is such that the pair of folded portions is the back surface of the slide rail portion. Is set so as to be located at a position immediately before reaching the top of the raised surface.
- a flat surface on which the slide surface of the slider can slide at a height is continuous with the top of the raised surface, and the flat surface is It is parallel to a surface other than the raised surface in the slide surface.
- the raised surface is adjacent to a stop position of the slider when the opening / closing body is fully closed.
- the slider is always kept in surface contact with the slide rail portion in the urging direction of the torsion bar. For this reason, even when the torsion bar is twisted and connected to the slider while being inclined, the state where the slider is in surface contact with the slide rail portion can be sufficiently maintained. Therefore, even when the biasing force of the torsion bar acts on the hinge arm in a direction slightly different from the opening direction of the opening / closing body, the swinging operation of the hinge arm and the opening / closing body can be performed smoothly. In addition, the occurrence of so-called uneven wear, in which the contact surface between the slide rail portion and the slider wears unevenly, can be suppressed as much as possible. As a result, it is possible to improve the durability of the opening / closing device.
- a sliding frictional force is generated between the slide rail portion and the slider.
- the swing speed of the hinge arm can be set to an optimum value.
- the opening / closing speed of the opening / closing body can be easily set to an optimum speed.
- the slider has a bar connecting opening for connecting the torsion bar by fitting.
- the torsion bar can be easily assembled to the slider only by fitting the torsion bar into the bar connecting opening of the slider.
- the bar connection opening is opened in the opposite direction to the direction in which the hinge arm is urged by the torsion bar.
- the torsion bar automatically fits into the bar connecting opening by its own biasing force. Therefore, the torsion bar can be easily assembled to the slider assembled to the hinge arm.
- the hinge arm can be urged in the opening direction of the opening / closing body as it is by the torsion bar fitted into the bar connection opening.
- the opening / closing direction of the trunk lid for opening / closing the trunk opening of the vehicle is the vertical direction.
- the arm base end portion of the hinge arm that supports the trunk lid on the vehicle body is attached to the vehicle body so as to be able to swing back and forth.
- the support center of the torsion bar is located behind the swinging center of the hinge arm.
- the slide rail part is located in front of the arm base end part. The slider is guided by the slide rail portion and is slidable in the arm longitudinal direction of the hinge arm. When the trunk lid is opened, the slider is positioned below the hinge arm.
- the following may be done.
- the slider assembled to the slide rail portion automatically moves downward by opening the trunk lid to the fully open position.
- the position of the bar connecting opening that has moved downward may be set to a position where the torsion bar can be fitted.
- the torsion bar twisted in the counter-biasing direction automatically fits into the bar connecting opening by its own biasing force. Therefore, the torsion bar can be more easily assembled to the slider assembled to the hinge arm.
- the torsion bar can be brought closer to the hinge arm, the effective space in the trunk room is increased.
- the slide rail portion has a stopper for defining the lowest lower limit position where the slider can be lowered.
- the slider is restricted from descending from the lowest position relative to the slide rail portion. In other words, the slider descends according to the swing motion of the arm base end portion, but is held on the lowermost limit position by the stopper. For this reason, the assembly property of the slide rail part, the slider, and the other end of the torsion bar can be further enhanced.
- the position of the slider with respect to the slide rail portion is set higher than the lowest operation position. For this reason, even if a so-called overstroke operation is performed in which the trunk lid is opened more than fully open, the slider does not hit the stopper strongly. As a result, the durability of the stopper can be increased.
- the stopper is constituted by a locking convex portion formed on the slide rail portion.
- the slider is formed with a locking portion that can be locked to the locking projection. The slider can be held on the slide rail portion by locking the locking portion to the locking convex portion. For this reason, after the slider is temporarily assembled on the slide rail portion, it can be transported to the next process, thereby improving transportability.
- the slider is detachably provided from the side opposite to the stopper with respect to the slide rail portion located at the arm base end portion. For this reason, a slider can be easily replaced
- the bar connection opening is constituted by a groove extending in a direction orthogonal to the sliding direction of the slider.
- the groove portion is composed of a straight groove located at the center in the groove longitudinal direction and a taper groove extending outward from the both ends of the straight groove in the groove longitudinal direction.
- the slide rail portion is formed of a separate member with respect to the arm base end portion. For this reason, a slide rail part can be easily produced compared with the case where it forms integrally in a large sized arm base end part. Furthermore, the slide rail part has a latching claw part and a clip part. The latching claw is hooked in a first mounting hole located at a position near the swing center of the arm base end portion. The clip portion is locked to the second attachment hole located at a position farther from the swing center than the first attachment hole with respect to the arm base end portion by a snap fit.
- the invention according to claim 9 has a latching claw portion on the upper portion of the slide rail portion.
- the latching claw portion has a relatively stable locking performance than the clip portion. For this reason, the attachment state of the slide rail part with respect to an arm base end part can fully be maintained.
- the sliding surface of the slider is held by the urging force of the torsion bar in a slidable contact with the sliding surface of the slide rail portion. For this reason, a sliding frictional force is generated between the sliding surface and the sliding surface.
- the swing speed of the hinge arm can be set to an optimum value.
- the opening / closing speed of the opening / closing body can be easily set to an optimum speed.
- the slide rail portion has a frictional force increasing portion having a large frictional force with the slider in a part of the slidable region of the slider. For this reason, the sliding friction force between the slide rail portion and the slider when the slider slides in the friction force increasing portion in the slidable region (sliding friction force at the increased portion) is other than the friction force increasing portion. It is larger than the sliding frictional force when the slider slides on the other part (sliding frictional force of the general part).
- the frictional force increasing portion can be easily set as appropriate so that the sliding frictional force at the increased portion exceeds the urging force of the torsion bar.
- the size, shape, surface roughness, and presence / absence of the protrusion of the frictional force increasing portion can be easily set.
- the configuration of the frictional force increasing portion is simple, and it is not necessary to provide a separate component from the slide rail portion, and the cost does not increase.
- the hinge arm and the opening / closing body during the opening / closing movement can be artificially stopped at an arbitrary opening simply by making the sliding frictional force of the increased portion exceed the sliding load due to the urging force of the torsion bar. Moreover, when the sliding frictional force at the increased portion exceeds the sliding load due to the urging force of the torsion bar, it is possible to suppress so-called pop-up that is fully opened at a time when the opening / closing body starts to open. Moreover, it is not necessary to provide a separate member for suppressing pop-up.
- the frictional force increasing portion is constituted by a raised surface in which a part of the slide surface of the slide rail portion is raised in the opposite direction to the biasing direction of the torsion bar.
- the sliding frictional force increases as the sliding surface of the slider rides on the raised surface against the urging force of the torsion bar.
- the frictional force increasing portion can be configured with a simple configuration.
- the slide rail portion is constituted by a substantially flat member.
- the slider has a pair of arm portions formed in a substantially L shape so as to wrap around the edge of the slide rail portion from both edges along the sliding direction of the slide surface.
- the pair of arm portions includes a pair of extending portions extending to the back surface side of the slide rail portion, and a pair of folded portions extending in directions facing each other from the tips of the pair of extending portions.
- a pair of slide grooves which are opened to face each other are formed on both side edges along the slide direction on the slide surface of the slider.
- the pair of slide grooves are slidably fitted to edges on both sides of the slide rail portion. For this reason, the slider does not slip out in the front-back direction with respect to the substantially flat slide rail portion, that is, in the biasing direction or the counter-biasing direction of the torsion bar.
- the groove width of the pair of slide grooves that is, the distance between the slide surface of the slider and the pair of folded portions is set to be larger than the thickness of the slide rail portion.
- the slider is held in a state in which the slider is always in contact with the slide rail portion in the urging direction of the torsion bar. For this reason, when the slide surface of the slider does not ride on the raised surface, the folded portions of the pair of arm portions do not contact the back surface of the slide rail portion. Accordingly, the frictional resistance can be suppressed because the contact area is small.
- the pair of folded portions of the slider when the slide surface of the slider slides over the raised surface with respect to the slide surface of the slide rail portion, the pair of folded portions of the slider have a size.
- the size is set so that the back surface of the slide rail portion can be temporarily brought into contact. For this reason, when a slide surface gets over a raised surface, each folding
- the bar position corresponding to the portion to which the torsion bar is connected in the slide surface of the slider is when the pair of folded portions are temporarily in contact with the back surface of the slide rail portion. It is set so as to be located at a position immediately before reaching the top of the raised surface. For this reason, the frictional resistance temporarily increases immediately before the slide surface gets over the top of the raised surface. Immediately after that, when the slide surface gets over the top of the raised surface, the folded portions of the pair of arm portions do not contact the back surface of the slide rail portion, so the frictional resistance decreases again. As a result, the opening / closing body can be opened with a light force.
- a flat surface on which the slide surface of the slider can slide at the same height is continuous at the top of the raised surface, and the flat surface is other than the raised surface in the sliding surface. It is parallel to the plane. For this reason, after a slide surface gets over the top part of a raised surface, each folding
- the raised surface is adjacent to the stop position of the slider when the open / close body is fully closed. For this reason, for example, when the latch mechanism of the opening / closing body is unlatched, the slider can be temporarily stopped by the raised surface when the opening / closing body is slightly opened from the fully closed state. Since the slider pauses, the opening / closing body also pauses. Therefore, an unnecessary opening operation of the opening / closing body can be suppressed. For example, after an unlatch operation, in order to open and close the opening / closing body, the opening / closing body is temporarily stopped in a state where an opening space is secured between the opening and the opening / closing body. be able to.

- the pair of slopes 57, 57 are formed on the edges 51a, 51a on both sides of the slide rail portion 51 so that the width between the normal slide portion 59 and the wide portion 56 changes gradually.
- the points 57a and 57a at which the pair of slopes 57 and 57 starts to tilt from the edges 51a and 51a on both sides of the normal slide portion 59 are referred to as slope start points 57a and 57a.

- the positions of the pair of stoppers 57a and 57a correspond to the lowest limit position P24 shown in FIG. That is, the slider 61 descends according to the swing motion of the arm base end portion 32, but is held on the lowermost limit position P24 by the stoppers 57a and 57a. For this reason, the assembly property with the slide rail part 51, the slider 61, and the other end part 42 of the torsion bar 40L can further be improved.
- the slider 61 located at the slope start points 57a and 57a is further pressed down, the slider 61 is guided to the slide rail portion 51 and further slides downward. Since the slide rail portion 51 has the pair of slopes 57, the slider 61 can smoothly move between the normal slide portion 59 and the wide portion 56. Since the slider 61 is a resin product, the pair of extending portions 63 and 63 can be slightly elastically deformed in directions away from each other. When the slider 61 moves from the normal slide portion 59 to the wide portion 56, the pair of locking portions 79 and 79 ride on the wide portion 56, and are further locked to the pair of locking concave portions 55 and 55. In this case, the pair of extending portions 63 and 63 can be relatively strongly locked by the self-returning force.
- FIG. 12C shows a state in which the pair of locking portions 79 and 79 are locked to the pair of locking concave portions 55 and 55 by the slider 61 being positioned below the slide rail portion 51.
- the slider 61 can be held on the slide rail portion 51 by locking the locking portions 79, 79 in the locking recesses 55, 55. For this reason, after the slider 61 is temporarily assembled on the slide rail portion 51 and can be transported to the next process, the transportability is improved.

- the center of the pressing portion 43 of the torsion bar 40L is indicated by an imaginary line and a fully closed position P21 indicated by a solid line with respect to the swing center P2 (support center P2 of the torsion bar 40L).
- a swinging motion is performed on the swing trajectory R1 between the fully open position P22 below. That is, when the arm base end portion 32 is located at the lid fully closed position P11, the center of the pressing portion 43 is located at the fully closed position P21.
- the center of the pressing portion 43 is located at the fully open position P22.
- the swing locus R1 of the pressing portion 43 is a perfect circle locus with reference to the support center P2 of the other end portion 42 of the torsion bar 40L (support center P2 of the torsion bar 40L).

- the two swing trajectories R1 and R2 are downward arc-shaped trajectories based on the swing centers P1 and P2.
- the upper and lower swing centers P1 and P2 do not match. That is, the center P2 is located below the center P1. Therefore, the swing angle at which the pressing portion 43 swings from the fully closed position P21 to the fully open position P22 is larger than the swing angle at which the arm base end portion 32 swings from the lid fully closed position P11 to the lid fully open position P12 ( There is an angle difference). As a result, the swing trajectory R1 of the match point P23 based on the center P2 does not match the swing trajectory R2 of the match point P23 based on the center P1.
- the first embodiment has the slide mechanism 50, so that each part can move smoothly. That is, the angle conversion is performed by the slide mechanism 50. Specifically, the slider 61 can slide up and down only on the slide rail portion 51 along the arm base end portion 32. As a result, the slider 61 performs angle conversion according to the swing motion of the pressing portion 43.
- the coincidence point P23 corresponds to the pressing portion 43 and the slider 61. This is the lowest operation position.
- the coincidence point P23 is hereinafter referred to as a “lowermost operation position P23”.

That is, the lowest movement position P23 is a lower limit position in the movable range of the slider 61 in a state where the torsion bar 40L is coupled to the slider 61.
- the slider 61 receiving the urging force of the torsion bar 40L swings backward while descending from the fully closed position P21 to the most lowered operation position P23. After that, it swings backward while ascending from the lowest-down operation position P23 to the fully open position P22.

That is, the lowest limit position P24 is set to the lowest descending operation position P23 or a position obtained by adding a certain allowance ⁇ that can be further lowered to the lowest descending operation position P23.
- the value of the allowance ⁇ is a value not less than 0 ( ⁇ ⁇ 0).
- the position of the slider 61 with respect to the slide rail portion 51 in a state where the trunk lid 14 is fully opened is set to a fully open position P22 higher than the lowest-down operation position P23. Therefore, even when the so-called overstroke operation is performed in which the trunk lid 14 (see FIG. 1) is opened more than fully opened, the slider 61 does not hit the stoppers 57a and 57a, for example. That is, the slider 61 does not hit the stoppers 57a and 57a strongly. As a result, the durability of the stoppers 57a and 57a can be enhanced.
- the retaining portion 58 is formed on the slide rail portion 51 so that the slider 61 does not fall off from the lower end of the slide rail portion 51.

For this reason, the slider 61 can be easily exchanged for the slide rail portion 51 in the state provided in the arm base end portion 32. The exchanging workability of the slider 61 is improved.
- Example 1 The description of Example 1 is summarized as follows. As shown in FIG. 4, the slider 61 is always kept in surface contact with the slide rail portion 51 in the urging direction Rt of the torsion bar 40 ⁇ / b> L. For this reason, even when the other end portion 42 of the torsion bar 40L is twisted and tilted and connected to the slider 61, the state where the slider 61 is in surface contact with the slide rail portion 51 can be sufficiently maintained. . Therefore, even if the biasing force of the torsion bar 40L (see FIG. 2) acts on the hinge arm 31L in a direction slightly different from the opening direction Ro of the trunk lid 14, the swing of the hinge arm 31L and the trunk lid 14 is performed. The operation can be performed smoothly. In addition, the occurrence of so-called uneven wear, in which the contact surface between the slide rail portion 51 and the slider 61 is worn unevenly, can be suppressed as much as possible. As a result, the durability of the opening / closing device 11 can be increased.
- a sliding frictional force is generated between the slide rail portion 51 and the slider 61.
- the swing speed of the hinge arm 31L can be set to an optimum value.
- the opening / closing speed of the trunk lid 14 can be easily set to an optimum speed.
