Next, the board member 24 is moved to the rear storage position H together with the hood member 3 via the swing mechanism S by the motor unit 10, which is a driving means provided on the vehicle body I side. When the canopy member 3 on the board member 24 is slid and returned to the open position K forward by a predetermined distance by the motor unit 8, the board member 24 is locked onto the support base 7 by the locking mechanism 9b. This locked state is released by the motor unit 8 sliding the canopy member 3 backward by the predetermined distance from the open position K, and the board member 24 is moved to the storage position C on the roof 4, The canopy member 3 can be moved to close.

When the hood rotation state detecting means 14 detects that the hood member 3 is within the trunk opening movement region T, the trunk opening movement inhibiting means 15 is activated to in-lock the trunk locking means 13. ing. The hood rotation state detection means 14 detects the motor unit 1 as described later.

As described above, this limit switch 32 also functions as the top rotation state detection means 14, and detects that the top member 3 is within the trunk opening movement range. In this storage position H, the hood member 3 is attached to the board member 24.
When the board member 24 returns to the open position K from the state where it has been slid backward a predetermined distance from the upper open position K, the board member 24 is locked to the support base 7 by the locking mechanism 9b, and this is confirmed by the limit switch 30. When the hood member 3 retreats to a position a predetermined distance backward from the open position K on the board member 24, the lock is released, the position is confirmed by the riminotoss C edge 31, and the board member 24 is moved to the storage position C of the roof 4. You will be able to move. On the other hand, a limit switch 3 is mounted on the base frame 23 of the vehicle body 1.
3 is provided so that it can be detected that the board member 24 has been moved from the storage position 11 to the storage position C.

Further, the instrument panel (not shown) includes a trunk opener switch 6 that is selectively operated by the driver, and main switches 12a and 12b that operate the opening/closing and up/down movement of the top member 3.

12c is provided. The main switch 12a has
The main switch 12b has an OPN contact for opening the top member 3, a CLS contact for closing the top member 3, a DOWN contact for moving the top member 3 to the storage position I, and a DOWN contact for moving the top member 3 to the storage position [I]. The main switch 12c is provided with a tJP contact for moving the canopy member 3 from the closed state to the storage position C, and an AUT contact for storing the top member 3 from the closed state and continuously moving it to the storage position H.

The control unit 11 is composed of a microcomputer, and controls and drives the motor units 8 and 10 according to instructions from the driver according to a pre-stored program, thereby controlling the overall operation of the canvas top system as described above. . The input side of the control unit 2 includes an ignition contact IG2 for receiving power supply, and main switches 12a, 12b, and 12c.

and limit switches 30, 31, 32, and 33 are connected. On the other hand, on the output side, trunk lock means 1

reference).

When the trunk ink lock circuit lid detects that the top member 3 is within the trunk opening movement region T by the motor normal rotation detection circuit lie and the limit switch 32 that constitute the top rotation state detection means 14, it sends out an ink lock command. Then, the relay switch 17b is opened to demagnetize the solenoid 17, and the trunk lock means 13 is interlocked. The trunk locking means 13 in the in-lock state is activated by the trunk opener switch 6 as will be described later.
Alternatively, the trunk lid 5 cannot be opened even with the key. On the other hand, the hood member 3
is not within the trunk opening movement range T, the relay switch 17b is closed and the solenoid 17 is energized by an uninterlock command from the trunk ink lock circuit 11d, the ink lock of the trunk locking means 13 is released, and the trunk opener switch is 6 or the trunk key, the trunk lid 5 can be opened freely.

As shown in FIG. 6(a), the trunk locking means 13 consists of a solenoid 16 and a trunk locking mechanism 18, which are energized when the trunk opener switch 6 is turned on, and return to the normal locked state when the trunk lid 5 is closed. The lock is released by turning on the trunk opener switch 6 or by unlocking the key. In particular, in this embodiment, when the hood member 3 is moved within the trunk opening region T, the relay is activated by an in-lock command from the trunk in-lock circuit 11d so that the in-lock means 13 is in-in-locked. A solenoid 17 that demagnetizes when the switch 17b is opened is arranged corresponding to the trunk lock mechanism 18. The ink lock by this trunk ink lock circuit 11d is different from the normal locked state, and as described above, it is not released by the trunk opener switch 6 or the key, and is sent out when the hood member 3 moves from the trunk opening area 1. It is released only by an uninterlock command from the trunk in clock circuit lid.

In the trunk lock mechanism 18, a lock lever 21, which is provided on the trunk lid 5 side and pivoted by a support shaft 20, is urged to rotate clockwise by a spring 19, and a lock recess formed in the lower part of the lock lever 21 is rotated clockwise by a spring 19. 21
a engages with the hinge 1a on the vehicle body 1 side to maintain the locked state as shown in the figure, and is configured to be unlocked when rotated counterclockwise from the shown state.

That is, the protrusion 2 protruding from the upper end of the lock lever 21
1b is loosely fitted into the long hole 16b formed in the plunger 16a of the solenoid 16, and when the solenoid 16 is energized by turning on the trunk opener switch 6, the plunger 16a moves in the direction of the arrow p. The lock lever 21 is rotated counterclockwise to release the locked state. Although not shown, by inserting a key into a trunk key cylinder arranged perpendicularly to the plane of the paper and operating the lock, the lock lever 21 can be directly rotated counterclockwise to release the locked state. You can also do it.

On the other hand, the plunger 17a of the solenoid 17 provided on the vehicle body l side engages the lock lever 21 in the interlock state in a demagnetized state in response to the interlock recess 21c formed in the back of the lock lever 21. It is arranged like this. As described above, this demagnetized state is caused by the fact that the hood member 3 is within the inter-trunk movement region T, the relay switch 17b is opened in response to an interlock command from the trunk-in clock circuit 11d, and the solenoid 17 is demagnetized. As a result, the plunger 17a moves upward, and the trunk locking means 13 is in an interlocked state, which will not be released even by the unlocking operation of the trunk opener switch 6 or the trunk key. When the hood member 3 is moved out of the trunk opening region T and an uninterlock command is sent from the trunk ink lock circuit lid, the relay switch 17b is closed, the solenoid 17 is energized, and the plunger 17a is moved downward. The lock lever 21 is released from the locked state, and the ink lock is released. When this ink lock is released, the normal lock state is achieved.

Therefore, when the driver exits the vehicle with the hood member 3 stored in the storage position H, the trunk lid 5 remains locked, and the driver may then inadvertently open the trunk lid 5 with the key from outside the vehicle. However, it won't open. In that case, all you have to do is get back in the car, move the top member 3 to the storage position C outside the trunk opening movement area T, release the ink lock of the trunk locking means 13, and then open the trunk using the trunk opener switch 6 or the key. , In addition, even when the driver removes the key and exits the vehicle, the trunk lid 5 is surrounded by a broken line so that the trunk lid lock system can be activated without interfering with opening and closing the trunk lid 5 and without wasting battery B. An auxiliary circuit 11fl is provided. The auxiliary circuit 11fl includes a switch 5a that closes when the key is inserted into the trunk key cylinder, a switch 5b that turns on just before the trunk lid 5 closes, and a timer TM that is connected to the switch 5a. , switch 5b, and timer TM are connected in parallel to connect the normally closed contact of relay switch 17b and battery B. With this auxiliary circuit 11 "1, if you get off the vehicle while the top member 3 is in the storage position C,
Although the relay switch 17b is closed due to the uninterlock command from the trunk in-clock circuit lid,
IO2 is turned off, the solenoid 17 is turned off, the plunger 17a moves upward, and the ink lock state is established.

However, when the driver opens the trunk lid 5 with the key, the switch 5a turns on and the solenoid 1
Immediately after power is supplied from the battery B, the plunger 17a moves downward, and the ink lock of the trunk locking means 13 is released. In addition, when closing the opened trunk lid 5 with the key removed, the solenoid 17 is demagnetized and the plunger 17a moves upward, but just before the trunk lid 5 is closed, the switch 5b is turned on and the plan is turned on. The jar 17a moves downward, and the lock lever 21 comes into contact with the hinge 1a, so that counterclockwise rotation is not hindered. Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the timer TM turns off, and the power from battery B is cut off. Therefore, the trunk lock means 13 and the ink lock system operate normally without wasting the power of the Panteri B while the vehicle is stopped.

Incidentally, the auxiliary circuit 11f2 provided in the trunk ink clock circuit lid may be configured as shown in FIG. 6(b). That is, the relay switch 170b is normally open, the plunger 170a of the solenoid 170 is in the lower position in a demagnetized state, and is energized in the upper position, and the relay switch 1
70b is closed and the plunger 170a is moved upward so that the trunk locking means 13 is locked.

In this case, when the hood member 3 is in the retracted position 1■ with the key removed, the relay switch 170b is closed by the interlock command from the trunk in clock circuit lid;
IO2 and switch 5a are turned off, solenoid 1
70 is demagnetized and the plunger 170a is in the lower position shown by the solid line, so the trunk locking means 13 is in an uninterlocked state. However, when attempting to directly open the trunk lid 5 with the key, the switch 5a turns on, the solenoid 170 receives power from the battery B and is energized, the plunger 170a moves upward, and the trunk locking means 13 is locked. state, and opening of the trunk lid 5 is prohibited.

The control operation of the trunk-in lock system is basically shown in the flowchart of FIG.

That is, first, it is asked whether the motor unit 10 is rotating in the normal direction (step 1, hereinafter referred to as 51, etc.), and if it is rotating in the normal direction, it is detected by the motor normal rotation detection circuit 11e, and the hood member 3 is activated to open the trunk. It is determined that it is within area T,
Trunk in clock circuit lid to relay switch 1
An ink lock command signal is sent to the trunk lock means 17b (S3), and the opening operation of the relay switch 17b demagnetizes the solenoid 17 (S5).
3 is ink locked. In step 1, if the motor unit) 10 is not rotating normally, limit switch 3
2 is on (S2), and if it is on, the hood member 3 is within the trunk opening movement area T, so step 3
Shifting to the following operation, similarly, the trunk locking means 13
is ink-locked (S5).

The trunk locking means 13 is in the ink lock state (
After S5), it is asked whether the limit switch 32 is on (S6), and if it is not on, it is asked whether the motor unit 10 is rotating in the forward direction (S7), and if it is not in the forward rotation, the trunk in clock circuit is An uninterlock command is sent from 11d to relay switch 17b (S8), and by closing relay switch 1"7b (S9), solenoid 1
7 is excited (510), the ink lock of the trunk locking means 13 is released, and the trunk locking means 13 enters the normal locking state.

In steps 1 and 2, if the motor unit 10 is not rotating normally and the limit switch 32 is not on, the flow ends and the trunk lid 5 is not brought into the interlock state but remains in the normal locked state. The trunk lid 5 can be opened by operating the trunk opener switch 6 or trunk key. Further, in steps 6 and 7, the motor unit 10 is rotating in the forward direction, and the limit switch 32 is
is on, the ink lock state (S5) is maintained.

In this way, when the hood member 3 is within the trunk opening movement region T, the I/lunk lid 5 is automatically put into the in-lock state, so even if the driver inadvertently performs the opening operation, the trunk lid 5 is not opened, and troubles such as abutting or interfering with the hood member 3 or the board member 24 can be avoided.

The basic operation of a canvas top control system incorporating such a trunk interlock system will be explained based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

(1) When the canopy member 3 in the closed state is opened and retracted, as shown in FIG. 4, when the OPN contact of the main switch 12a is turned on (Sll), the control unit 11 opens and closes. A normal rotation signal is output from the control section 11a to the motor unit 8, and the hood member 3 slides backward due to the normal rotation operation of the motor unit 8 (S12). Limiter]・When the switch 30 is turned on (S13
), the motor unit 8 is stopped (514), the top member 3 is folded to the open position K of the board member 24-1, and the roof opening 2 is fully opened.

Next, when the DOWN contact of the main switch 12b is turned on (S15), a forward rotation signal is output from the lock release control section 11b to the motor unit 8, and the motor unit 8 starts forward rotation (S16). The forward rotation operation is detected by the motor forward rotation detection circuit lie, and the flow from step 3 onward in FIG. 3 is executed, and the trunk lid 5 is brought into an in-lock state (S5). On the other hand, due to the forward rotation of the motor unit 8, the hood member 3 is further retreated by a predetermined distance, and the limit switch 31 is turned on (
The motor unit 8 stops at the S17) position (31B)
. At this time, the locking of the board member 24 by the locking mechanism 9a is released. Next, a normal rotation signal is output from the top upward movement control section 11c to the motor unit 10, and the normal rotation of the motor unit 10 causes the board member 24 storing the top member 3 to move through the swing mechanism S. Then, the board member 24 is placed on the support base 7 of the trunk lid 5. When the limit switch 32 is turned on (S20), the motor unit IO stops (S21
). Next, a reverse rotation signal is output from the lock release control section Llb to the motor unit 8, and the reversal operation of the motor unit 8 causes the hood member 3 to move forward, and at the opening value iK on the board member 24, the limit switch 30 is activated. is turned on (
S23), it is detected that the board member 24 is stored and locked on the support base 7 by the locking mechanism 9b, and the motor unit 8 is stopped (324).

(2) When the operation of opening the canopy member 3 in the closed state and retracting it to the retracted position) is performed continuously, as shown in Fig. 5, the main switch 12c AUT
When the contact is turned on (S31), the motor unit 8
begins to rotate forward (532), the canopy member 3 in the fully closed state retreats, is folded onto the board member 24 in the storage position C, and then retreats further from the open position K until the limit switch 31 is turned on. 533), and the motor unit 8 is stopped (S34). At this time, the board member 24 is unlocked by the locking mechanism 9a, and the motor unit IO immediately starts rotating in the normal direction (S35), and the normal rotation operation is detected by the motor normal rotation detection circuit 11e.
The flow from step 3 onward in FIG. 3 is executed, and the trunk lid 5 is brought into an in-lock state (S5). on the other hand,
Due to the forward rotation of the motor unit) 10, the board member 24
is moved down together with the hood member 3, and when it is confirmed by the limit switch 32 that the board member 24 has been moved onto the support stand 7 (S36), the motor unit 10 stops (337). Next, the motor unit 8 rotates in the reverse direction.
38), when the canopy member 3 moves forward on the board member 24 to the open position K and the limit switch 30 is turned on (339)
), the motor unit 8 is stopped (540), and the top member 3 is stored and locked on the support base 7 together with the board member 24.

Note that if the CLS contact of the main switch 12a or the main switch 12bOU P tff point is turned on while the AUT contact of the main switch 12c is turned on, the motor unit 8 or the motor unit 10
starts reversing, and the top member 3 closes or moves upward.

In this way, by incorporating the trunk interlock system into the canvas top control system, the trunk lid 5 is brought into the in-lock state when the hood member 3 is within the trunk opening movement region T, as described above. The hood member 3 or the board member 24 does not come into contact with or interfere with the trunk lid 5, improving safety and preventing damage and scratches thereon.
