Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve reliability of the control of an opening and closing body by providing the first and the second detection means to detect the position of movement of the upper part cover body in sequence from the front side of the back side of a roof and by controlling the opening and closing states of the back part opening and closing body with the alteration of both detection outputs. CONSTITUTION:A roof opening and closing body controller of an automobile sequentially detects the movement of an upper part cover body which covers a roof opening part capable of opening and closing it by an upper part cover body moving means, with the first and the second detection means. Then, the alteration of detection outputs of both of the detection means is gained with an alteration means, and when the backward movement of the upper part cover body is judged, a back part opening and closing body control means controls the opening and closing state of the back part opening and closing body. That is, when either of the first and the second detection means generates detection output, it is judged as lift motion start or lift down state and the back part opening and closing body of a trunk lid and others is maintained in the locked state to smoothly practice the storage of the upper part cover body. Consequently, even if one of the detection means breaks down, it is possible to practice the opening and closing body control of high reliability.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a roof opening/closing body control device for an automobile.

(Prior art) For example, in a vehicle such as an automobile, a large opening formed from the front to the rear of the roof of the vehicle body can be opened and closed using a foldable hood member (upper cover) so that a wide open ceiling can be obtained. Roof opening/closing control devices, such as so-called canvas top systems, which allow flexible covering, are already well known. In such a roof opening/closing system, the rear end side of the hood member is usually fixed to the rear part of the roof, and the front end side is attached to a sliding body guided by guide rails provided on both sides of the roof opening. Many devices are configured to open and close the opening by moving the device back and forth. For example, in Utility Model Application Publication No. 61-30525,
The configuration of this type of device is specifically described.

By the way, in the conventional canvas top type roof opening/closing system described in the publication, when opening the roof, the sliding body is moved rearward and the hood member is sequentially slid and folded. It was stored in the designated storage position. Therefore, even when the roof side opening is opened fully, for example, the rear area of the roof where the hood member is housed cannot be opened, resulting in a problem in that a sufficient sense of openness cannot be obtained. . For this reason, recently, similar to the conventional canvas top type roof opening/closing system mentioned above, the hood member is folded to the rear of the roof and can be locked in that position, and then the hood member is moved using a moving means. Furthermore, a new type of canvas top type roof opening/closing system has been proposed that can be lowered to the rear and placed and stored (locked) in a storage position installed on the trunk lid at the rear of the vehicle body if necessary. It has become. However, in such a system, when the trunk lid is unlocked, the hood member may interfere with the trunk lid. Therefore, it is desirable that measures be taken to allow the hood member to be evacuated when it is in such a state, if necessary. This is of course necessary to improve safety, but also to prevent the top member from being damaged or damaged due to interference with the trunk lid.

Due to these circumstances, the canvas top type roof opening/closing system that allows the above-mentioned hood member to be moved and retracted further rearward from the roof of the vehicle body, and as described above, the trunk lid lock A configuration is being considered in which the hood member is automatically retracted to a position where it does not interfere with the trunk lid when the hood is released.

In this configuration, for example, the first detection means is provided at a lift position of the roof of a canvas top type vehicle, and the second hood member detection means is provided at a storage position further back than the first detection means. The general idea is that when the vehicle generates a detection signal, it is determined that a lift operation has started or that the lift is being lifted down, and the trunk lid is held in a locked state.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, according to the above configuration, if the first hood member detection means fails while in the ON state, the lift state (
There is a problem in that the trunk lid is determined to be lifted up or lifted down, making it impossible to open the trunk lid.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and therefore includes an upper cover body that opens and closes an upper opening formed in a roof portion of a vehicle, and A rear opening/closing body provided at a rear portion of a vehicle roof portion in which an opening is formed, and an upper cover moving means for arbitrarily moving the covering from the upper opening of the roof portion to a position of the rear opening/closing body. In the roof opening/closing body control device for an automobile, a first detection means and a second detection means sequentially detect the movement position of the upper cover from the front side to the rear side of the roof;
A logical sum means for calculating the logical sum of the detection outputs of the first and second detecting means, and a rear opening/closing body control means for controlling the opening/closing state of the rear opening/closing body according to the output of the logical sum means. It is characterized by this.

(Function) In the above-mentioned automobile roof opening/closing body control device of the present invention, the first
The logical sum output of the detection output of the first detection means and the detection output of the second detection means is taken, and the rear opening/closing body control means controls the opening/closing state such as the locking state of the rear opening/closing body based on the logical sum output. There is.

In other words, when either the first detection means or the second detection means generates a detection output, it is determined that the lift operation has started or is being lifted down, and for example, the trunk lid, etc. Hold the rear opening/closing body in a locked state.

(Effects of the Invention) Therefore, according to the automobile roof opening/closing body control device of the present invention, even if the detection means on one side malfunctions, the opening/closing body control with high probability is achieved due to the normal operation of the detection means on the other side. becomes possible.

28, and is swingably connected to a bracket 89 attached to the second panel 82. Then, the slide body 12 is inserted into the second guide groove 124 of the first link 128.
The first engagement pin 129 provided on the second side and the second engagement pin +30 provided on the slide body 122 side are engaged with the third guide #I25 of the third link 128, respectively. , the same as in the case of the front side moving device Q.

As a structure specific to this rear side moving device R, the inclined portion of the third link 12B is connected to the third guide groove 10 of the front side moving device Q.
The locking pin 131 connecting the third link 128 and the second link 127 is shorter than that of the second link 127 when the top member 3 is in the closed position, as shown in FIG.
The locking pin 13 is inserted into the third notch 74 formed in the upper flange 28d of the slider 122, and the locking pin 13 is inserted into the front end 122b of the slide body 122 via the fulcrum pin 132.
3 and an arm 135 equipped with a slide pin 134. Note that the locking pin 133 of this arm 135 is locked when the top member 3 is in the closed position.
A second rail formed on the lower flange 28e of the first rail 28
It engages in the notch 73, and in any position other than the closed position, it engages in the recess 1N28f of the second rule 28, as shown in FIG. Further, the slide pin l 3 lI is always disposed on the upper surface 2Bc of the first rule 28 so as to straddle the second rule 28 in the width direction. When the locking pin +33 is in the concave groove 2Br of the first rule 28, it can engage in the locking portion 107 of the front moving device Q.

Note that when the top member 3 is in the closed position, the locking pins 131 of the rear moving device R engage in the second notches 73, thereby restricting movement in the front-rear direction. Further, unlike the front moving device Q, this rear moving device R is restricted from moving in the front-rear direction. This rear moving device R is different from the front moving device Q described above and does not have a driving means itself.

The front moving device Q and the rear moving device R configured in this way
Accordingly, the hood member 3 connected to the guide rail 34 is opened and closed as follows. That is, first, when the canopy member 3 is in the closed position (see FIGS. 16 and 19), the front side moving device Q moves to the first position as shown in FIG.
The first panel 81 is located at the front end 2Bg of the rule 28, and is disposed approximately parallel to and close to the first rule 28, and is sealed with the base frame 23 at its outer periphery (the first (See Figure 25). Further, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 19, the rear moving device R is located near the rear end 28a of the first rule 28, and the second panel 82 is connected to the first
Like the panel 81, it is arranged substantially parallel to and close to the first rule 28. Note that in the closed position of the hood member 3, the front moving device Q and the rear moving device R
are engaged with the guide rails 34 in the vertical direction, so that even if the suction action moves on the top member 3 during traveling, the flap is effectively suppressed.

When the hood member 3 is released from this state, that is, when the cable 100 is pulled rearward by the motor unit 8, the front moving device move relative to the third
The engagement pin Ill moves within the first guide groove 99 from the front end side toward the rear end side. In the first half of the movement, the second engagement pin 102 moves into the third guide groove 109.
By moving the inclined part toward the rear end side,
The third link 94 rotates upward around the third engagement pin Ill, and the guide roller 112 comes off the first notch 72 (see FIG. 2) of the first rule 29, and the upper surface 28c

This state is the state shown in FIG. In this state, the first panel 8I is entirely lifted up and is no longer in contact with the peripheral edge of the base frame 23.

Further, in this embodiment, the height difference of the third guide groove 109 of the third link 94 is set larger than the height difference of the second guide groove 10B of the first link 92 before and after rotation, so that the bracket 88 It is intended to be tilted forward.

When the cable 100 is pulled further backward, the front 011j
The moving device Q moves toward the rear of the vehicle while folding the first campus 84 while keeping the posture shown in FIG. 14. When the rear moving device R reaches the front position, first, the slide pin 135 provided on the arm 135 of the rear moving device R
is engaged in the locking portion 107 of the front moving device Q, and as the front moving device Q moves, its first arm 135
It is guided by the lock 105 and rotated upward. As a result, the locking bottle 133 is attached to the second notch 7 of the second rule 28.
3 and moves into the concave groove 28'', thereby integrally connecting the front side moving device Q and the rear side moving device +7.

When the front moving device Q moves further rearward from this state, the rear moving device R moves as shown in FIG.
The slide body +22 moves rearward with respect to the bracket 89, and the second panel 82 moves upward in the same manner as in the case of the front moving device Q, and is separated from the sealing surface of the base frame 23.

At this time, the first link 126 in the front moving device Q
The height difference before and after the rotation of the first engagement pin 129 and the third guide i? of the third link 128. 4125 is appropriately set, the second panel 82 is made to be substantially parallel to the second rule 28. Therefore, in the connected state of the front moving device Q and the rear moving device R, since the first panel 8I and the second panel 82 have different inclination angles, the first panel 8! and the second panel 82 are stored in an overlapping state in the vertical direction, and a gap sufficient to accommodate the first campus 84 is secured between them.

Then, when the cable 100 is pulled further rearward, the front side moving device Q and the rear side moving device R move to the second campus 8.
While folding 5, move backward as one unit, and follow Rule 28.
Then move to the second rail 29 side, as shown in FIG.
The hood member 3 and the board member 24 are housed on the board member 24. In this state, the first panel 81, the second panel 82, and the third panel 83 are sequentially folded in an overlapping state, and the second canvas 84 is 4, the first panel 81 and the second panel 8
The second canvas 85 is housed between the second panel 82 and the third panel 83, respectively. Note that, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, a first canvas 8 is provided at the rear end portions of the first panel 81 and the second panel 82.
4 and the second canvas 85 are provided with a folding guide member 50 to prevent them from being bent at a sharp angle.

On the other hand, when the top member 3 is closed from its open state, the front side moving device Q and the rear side moving device R are moved in series until the rear side moving device R reaches a predetermined position in the closed position of the top member 3. The locking pin 1 in the rear moving device R
33 moves forward in the connected state until it reaches the position of the second notch 73 (see FIG. 14) of the second rule 28.

When the locking pin 133 engages in the second notch 73 of the second rule 28, the arm la5 rotates downward,
Accordingly, the slide bin 134 comes off from the locking portion +07 of the front moving device Q, and the front moving device Q and the arm 1
The connection with 35 is released.

Therefore, from then on, only the front moving device Q moves forward to its original position, leaving the rear moving device R behind.
The canopy member 3 is positioned in the closed position. That is, during the closing operation, the top member 3 is extended in order from the rear side of the vehicle body 1.

This takes place by means of a motor unit 8.10 which is controlled and driven via the control unit 11 accordingly. Therefore, as mentioned above, the driver no longer needs to get out of the vehicle and lock or unlock the hood member 3, unlike in the past, which improves comfort and safety. I will do it.

In particular, since the unlocking operation is performed smoothly by simply and reliably reversing the canopy member 3 by a predetermined distance from the open position K by the motor unit 8, there is no need to provide a separate member for unlocking the lock. This makes it easier to control. Therefore, troubles are less likely to occur, and the operability of the canvas top system is improved. By providing such a canvas top system with the above-mentioned hood retraction system, when the trunk locking means I3 is unlocked, the hood member 3 is retracted to a position where it does not interfere with the trunk lid 5. , safety is improved, and the hood member 3, board member 24, and trunk lid 5
Damage and scratches on the vehicle will be reliably prevented, and the commercial value of the vehicle will be further increased. In addition, in this example,

The detection signal of this trunk unlock limit switch 15 is the hood evacuation circuit 11d.
(See Figure 2) When the trunk locking means 13 is unlocked, the top retraction circuit 11d is activated as described above.

The operation of the hood retraction system is basically shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4(a). That is, first, it is determined whether or not the trunk unlock limit switch 15 is on (step S), and the result is YES (step S).
on), that is, the trunk lid 5 is unlocked, the next step is to ask whether the motor unit 10 is rotating in the normal direction (step S), and if YES is the case, the answer is YES if the motor unit 10 is rotating in the normal direction. In other words, when the hood member 3 is moving downward, the hood retraction circuit 1111 is activated (step S3).
The motor unit 10 starts reverse rotation (step S,)
, the hood member 3 moves upward and retreats, and the fourth limit switch 33
When it is detected that the storage position C1,:m has been moved on the roof 4, the motor unit IO stops (step S, 1). Next, the motor unit 8 is rotated in the reverse direction in step S1. ), when the hood NS material 3 advances a predetermined distance Mm on the board member 24 and is detected by the first limit switch 30 (step S1.), the motor unit 8 stops. is folded onto the board member 24 and locked in the storage position C.

On the other hand, in the case of No in step S, where the motor unit IO is not in normal rotation, it is determined whether or not the third limit switch 32 is on (step S
), if the result is YES (on), that is, if the top member 3 is stored in the storage position H, the top retraction circuit +1d is activated (step Ss), and the motor unit 8 rotates in the forward direction. 1, the hood member 3 retreats from the open position wlK on the board member 24, and the second limit switch 3
1 is turned on (step S, . . . ), the lock is released and the device stops (step S8). Then step 88
Moving to the following operation, the canopy member 3 moves upward and is locked in the storage position C. If the third limit switch 32 is not on in step S, the control flow ends.

The basic opening/closing state control operation of the canvas top control system incorporating such a hood retraction system will be explained in more detail based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4(b) and 4(c).

(1) When the canopy member 3 in the closed state is opened and retracted, as shown in FIG. 4(b), when the OPN contact of the first main switch 12a is turned on (
Step 521), a normal rotation signal is output from the opening/closing control section 11a of the control unit 11 to the motor unit 8, and due to the normal rotation operation of the motor unit 8 (step 5
22), the hood member 3 is moved backward and opened. When the first limit switch 30 is turned on (step 523), the upper motor unit 8 stops (step 524), and the canopy member 3 is folded and stored in the open position I on the board member 24. Ru. At this time, the canopy member 33 is locked in the storage/lock position C together with the board member 24 by the locking mechanism 9a.

Next, when the DOWN contact of the second main switch +2b is turned on (step 525), it is determined whether the trunk unlock limit switch I5 is on (STELLA, 526), and if it is not on, the above A normal rotation signal is output from the lock release control section 11b to the motor unit 8. Then, in response to the normal rotation signal of the motor unit 8 (step S7), the hood member 3 further retreats by a predetermined distance and stops at the position where the second limit switch 31 is turned on (step 828) (step 529). . At this time, the locking of the board member 24 by the locking means 9a is released. Next, a forward rotation signal is output from the hood upward movement control section lie to the motor unit IO, and the motor unit ! 0, the board member 24 housing the hood member 3 is moved downwardly backward via the swing mechanism S (step 530). During this time, it is determined whether the trunk unlock limit switch I5 is ON (step S3), and if it is not ON, the normal rotation operation of the motor unit 10 is maintained (step 532).

Then, when the board member 24 is placed on the support base 7 of the trunk lid 5 and the third limit switch 32 is turned on (step 533), the motor unit 1
0 is stopped (step g34).

Next, a reverse rotation signal is output from the lock release control section 11b to the motor unit 8, and as a result of the reverse operation of the motor unit 8 (step 535), the hood member 3 moves forward, and the limit switch is activated at the open position K on the board member 24. 30
is turned on (step 836), and when it is detected that the board member 24 is stored and locked on the support base 7 by the locking mechanism 9b, the motor unit 8 stops. Return to step St of a).

On the other hand, if the trunk unlock limit switch 15 is on in step S26, the hood member 3 is not moved to the storage position H, and the flow ends. If the trunk unlock limit switch 15 is on in step S31, the process moves to step S3 in the flowchart of FIG. 4(a).

(2) When opening the canopy member 3 in the closed state and continuously retracting it to the retracting/locking position 1-1, as shown in Fig. 4(b), the third main switch When the A U 'r contact of 12c is turned on (step 541), the motor unit 8 starts normal rotation (step 542), and the second limit switch 31 is turned on for the hood member 3 which is in the fully open state. The motor unit 8 is then retracted until it is stored on the board member 24 (step 543), and the motor unit 8 is stopped (step 544). At this time, the board member 24 is not locked in the storage/lock position C and is in a state where it can be moved down immediately. Then, it is determined whether or not the trunk limit switch 15 is on (step 545), and if it is not on, the motor unit 10 starts normal rotation (step 84).
6) The board member 24 is moved down together with the hood member 3.

In the meantime, a question is asked as to whether or not the trunk unlock limit switch I5 is on (step 547).
, otherwise the normal rotation of the motor unit 10 is maintained (step 548). When it is confirmed by the limit switch 32 that the board member 24 has been moved onto the support stand 7 (step 550). Next, the motor unit 8 is reversed (step 851), the hood member 3 is moved forward on the board member 24, and when the first limit switch 30 is turned on (step 552), the motor unit 8 is stopped (step 553). , the canopy member 3 is stored and locked on the support base 7 together with the board member 24, and the process returns to step S1 in FIG. 4(a).

In step S45, if the trunk unlock limit switch 15 is on, that is, if the trunk lid 5 is in a state where it can be opened, the fourth
Proceeding to step S12 in Figure (a), the hood member 3 is locked together with the board member 24 in the storage position C on the roof 4. Further, if the trunk unlock limit switch 1.5 is on in step S47, in order to avoid contact interference with the trunk lid 5, the switch shown in FIG.
), the process moves to step S3, and the hood member 3 is attached to the board member 24.
At the same time, it is moved upward and retracted, and locked in the storage lock position C. Note that while the AUT contact of the third main switch 12c is turned on, the first main switch 12
When the CLS contact a or the UP contact of the main switch 12b of the roof opening 2 is turned on, the motor unit 8 or the motor unit IO starts reverse rotation, and the hood member 3 closes or moves upward. It has become.

Although not shown, in order to operate the hood evacuation system even when the trunk lid 5 is opened directly with the key, for example, when the trunk unlock limit switch 15 is turned on, The control unit 11 and the motor unit 8. It is sufficient to provide a circuit that connects the IO directly to the battery power source.

In this way, when the hood evacuation system is incorporated into the canvas top control system and the trunk locking means 13 is unlocked, the hood member 3 is moved to the trunk lid 5.
The trunk lid 5 can be opened without interfering with the trunk lid 5. Therefore, safety is improved and damage and damage to the hood member 3 and trunk lid 5 are prevented.
