Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a remote vehicle door opening/closing device for remotely opening and closing vehicle doors, particularly rear doors.

Conventional remote vehicle door opening/closing devices include, for example, directly connecting a handle device provided near the driver's seat and an interlocking member for opening and closing the door, and operating the handle device to interlock the interlocking member. Some door lock devices latch off the meshing portion of the door lock device by actuation of a member, releasing the meshing with the striker and applying an opening/closing force to the door to open and close the door. (Utility Model Publication No. 50-38897, Utility Model Publication No. 53-93831
However, such conventional remote vehicle door opening/closing devices are structured so that the door can be opened and closed by operating the handle device under any conditions, such as when the vehicle is running or stopped. Save,
For example, in the event of an accident such as a collision or rollover, if the steering wheel device operates in the opening direction due to inertia due to its own weight, the door may open and the occupant may be thrown outside, or the occupant may accidentally be accidentally thrown while driving. There was a problem in that if the handle device was hooked or operated carelessly, the door could open and hit a pedestrian or other vehicle.

This invention was made by focusing on these conventional problems, and it is designed to prevent the steering wheel from being operated while driving, so that in the event of an accident such as a collision or rollover, the door opens and prevents pedestrians or other people from driving. The purpose is to prevent situations such as collisions with other vehicles or passengers being thrown out of the vehicle.

Specifically, this invention connects a handle device provided near the driver's seat and an interlocking member for opening and closing the door, and operates the interlocking member by operating the handle device to open and close the door. In the opening/closing device, the handle device includes: a handle body provided with a hook member and an engaging portion; an operating member connected to the interlocking member and formed with an engaging recess corresponding to the hook member; and an operation blocking member that engages with the engaging portion of the handle body and prevents the handle body from operating in the door opening direction, each of which is rotatably supported on a mounting bracket provided on the vehicle body side. The hook part of the handle body is
The actuation prevention member can be freely engaged with the engagement recess of the actuation member only when the handle body is operated, and the actuation prevention member is connected to the parking brake lever via a connecting member, so that the operation of the parking brake lever and the engagement portion of the handle body can be engaged with each other. Due to the structure in which the disengagement operation of the operation prevention member is linked to the brake lever, when the parking brake lever is in the brake release position, that is, when the vehicle is traveling, the handle body is locked and the door cannot be opened or closed. Further, when the parking brake lever is in the brake operating position, that is, when the vehicle is stopped, the operating member is unlocked and the door can be opened and closed.

The present invention will be explained below based on the drawings. 1 to 5 are diagrams showing an embodiment of the present invention. This remote door opening/closing device 1 for an automobile includes a handle device 4 disposed on a floor panel 3 near a driver's seat 2, and an interlocking member 5 that swings in conjunction with the handle device 4 disposed inside a rear door 6. There is. Specifically, this interlocking member 5 includes a swing plate 10 and a swing arm 11 that are pivotally supported on a base plate 8 fixed to the inner panel of the rear door 6, and an engagement hole 13 formed in the swing plate 10. and a bent portion 14 formed on the swing arm 11 are engaged with each other in a loosely fitted state. Note that a spring 15 biases the rocking plate 10 in the direction of arrow A so that the bent portion 14 is normally engaged with one side edge of the engagement hole 13.
The swing arm 11 is connected to a center pillar on the vehicle body side via a link 16. Further, on the base plate 8, there is a door lock operation member 19 connected via a control cable 18 to a member that latches off the engagement portion (not shown) of the door lock device 17 and releases the engagement with a striker (not shown) fixed to the vehicle body side. An engaging pin 20 that is pivotally supported and protrudes from the door lock operating member 19 and an engaging portion 21 formed on the swing plate 10 can freely come into contact with each other. still,
A spring 22 constantly biases the door lock operating member 19 in the direction of arrow B. The swing plate 10 and the handle device 4 are connected by control cables 23a and 23b. In this handle device 4, a handle body 25 and an operating member 26 are rotatably supported on a mounting bracket 24 fixed to a floor panel 3 via a shaft pin 35, and the control cable 23a, 23b is connected. Further, the handle body 25 and the actuating member 26 can be freely engaged and disengaged via an engagement recess 27 formed in the actuating member 26 and a hook member 28 pivotally supported on the handle body 25. The member 28 is biased in the direction of arrow C via a spring 29, and is normally disengaged from the engagement recess 27. The operating grip 3 includes the hook member 28 on the handle body 25.
It can be operated using an operating rod 31 with a 0 mark. Specifically, the operating rod 31 has a sliding member 3 inside a pipe portion 32 provided in the handle body 25.

Next, when stopping, apply the parking brake 4.
0 lever 41 is rotated in the direction of arrow L to operate the parking brake 40. Then, along with the operation of the lever 41, a tensile force is applied to the control cable 39, and the actuation prevention member 36 is pressed against the spring 3.
The handle main body 25 is rotated in a direction opposite to the arrow K direction against the biasing force 7, and the engagement with the engagement portion 38 of the handle body 25 is released. Therefore, the handle body 25 is
The lock is released and the device is ready for operation. To open the rear door 6 from this state, grasp the operating grip 30 of the handle device 4 and move it in the direction of arrow D, and the operating rod 31 integrated with the operating grip 30 will move in the same direction.
The hook member 28 resists the biasing force of the spring 29.
rotates in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow C and engages with the engagement recess 27 of the actuating member 26. Next, in this state, when the operating grip 30 is rotated in the direction of arrow F, the handle body 25 is interlocked in the same direction and the actuating member 26 is rotated in the direction of arrow G, causing the control cables 23a and 23b to move in the direction of arrow H, Move it in the I direction. Then, the rocking plate 10 swings in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow A against the biasing force of the spring 15, and the engaging portion 21 of the rocking plate 10 comes into contact with the engaging pin 20, thereby locking the door lock operating member 19. The door lock operating member 19 is rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow B direction against the biasing force of the spring 22, and the door lock operating member 19 is connected to the control cable 18.
The engaging portion of the door lock device 17 is latched off via the door lock device 17, and the engagement with the striker is released. When the operating grip 30 is further operated in the same direction as described above to the position shown in FIG. Swing in the J direction. Then, the link 16 connected to the swing arm 11 acts in conjunction to apply a pressing force to the center pillar, and the rear door 6 is opened by the reaction force. When you release your hand from the operating grip 30 in this state, the engagement of the hook member 28 with the engagement recess 27 is released by the biasing force of the spring 29, and the operating grip 30
The operating rod 31 is also moved in the E direction, and the handle body 25 rotates under its own weight in the direction opposite to the arrow F direction and returns to its original position. Therefore, even if the rear seat occupant directly closes the rear door 6 in this state, the operating member 26 and the handle body 25 are not engaged, so the handle body 25 will not move in conjunction with the closing of the rear door 6. It is safe. Next, in order to close the rear door 6 using the door remote opening/closing device 1 from this state, grasp the operating grip 30 and rotate the handle body 25 in the direction of arrow F, and move the operating grip 30 in the direction of arrow D. When the hook member 28 is rotated in the direction opposite to the direction of arrow C, the hook member 28 and the engaging recess 27 are reliably connected.
and are engaged. In this case, the position of the engagement recess 27 can be easily determined by the contact between the positioning abutment 34 and the hook member 28.
Further, by performing the operation opposite to the opening operation described above, the rear door 6 can be easily and reliably closed. Furthermore, in order to shift from a stopped state to a running state, the lever 41 of the parking brake 40 is operated to deactivate the parking brake 40, whereby the handle body 25 is locked and the rear door 6 cannot be opened or closed. .

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the control cable 3 in the above embodiment is
In place of 9, lever 4 of parking brake 40
1 and the actuation blocking member 36 are connected by a highly rigid link 42, even if an attempt is made to release the parking brake 40 by operating the lever 41 of the parking brake 40 when operating the handle body 25, the actuation blocking member 36 will not stop the handle. By contacting the same edge of the main body 25 and preventing return rotation in the direction of arrow K, the link 42 prevents the lever 41 from rotating and cannot be released. Therefore, a situation where the vehicle starts with the rear door 6 open is prevented. The other configurations and operations are the same as those of the above embodiment, and their explanations will be omitted.

As explained above, according to this invention,
Because of the configuration described above, in the event of an accident such as a collision or rollover, the handle body of the handle device will move in the opening direction due to inertia due to its own weight, causing the door to open and the occupant to be thrown outside, or the occupant to operate the vehicle incorrectly. It is possible to reliably prevent a situation where the door hits a pedestrian or another vehicle due to the door being opened while driving, and furthermore, the parking brake lever and the activation prevention member are connected by a link. This has the effect of preventing a situation where the vehicle starts off with the door open.
