Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wire-type wind regulator for raising and lowering a wind panel of an automobile.

Prior Art Conventionally, the wire type wind regulator 1
As shown in the figure, a slider 4 equipped with a window glass 3 is movably attached to a guide rail 2 fixed to a door inner panel or a vehicle body inner panel as an inner panel, oriented in the vertical direction of the vehicle. Connect this slider 4 to wire 5
The window glass 3 is raised and lowered by moving it through the window. 6 is a drum that drives the wire 5. Therefore, in the conventional wire type wind regulator 1, the locus of the window glass 3 when it is raised and lowered coincides with the locus of the slider 4 moving on the guide rail 2. In other words, the window glass 3 is the guide rail 2.
is moved only along the pointing direction. For this reason,
When such a wire type window regulator 1 is used in a rear quarter window of a hard-top automobile, the amount by which the window glass 3 can be raised and lowered is significantly reduced. In other words, in the case of a hard-top vehicle, the tire house is located at the lower rear part of the rear quarter window, and the storage space of the wind panel in the vertical direction of the vehicle is narrowed by the protrusion of the tire house, and the window glass 3
The amount of vertical movement will be reduced.

Purpose of the Invention In view of the conventional situation, the present invention is designed to increase the amount of elevation of the window glass by tilting the lower side of the window glass while avoiding the protruding part of the tire house when the window glass is stored. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wire type wind regulator for a vehicle that has functions that cannot be performed by conventional wire type window regulators.

Composition of the Invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a main guide rail fixed to the inner panel so as to be oriented in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and a slider attached to the main guide rail moved via a wire. A wire type wind regulator for a vehicle that raises and lowers a windshield as the slider moves, comprising: a link rotatably attached to the slider; and a link fixed to the windshield so as to be oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. an elevating guide rail that movably supports the link, and a main guide rail that is fixed to the inner panel so as to be oriented in the vertical direction of the vehicle and that movably and rotatably supports the link; a tilting guide rail that tilts the link as the slider moves up and down; and a tilting guide rail that is fixed to an inner panel facing the vertical direction of the vehicle and movably and rotatably supports the lifting guide rail. It is constructed by providing a guide rail for longitudinal movement that restricts the movement of the vertical guide rail in the vehicle longitudinal direction.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

That is, FIG. 2 shows a wire type wind regulator 10 for a vehicle showing one embodiment of the present invention, which will be explained by taking an example where it is used for a rear quarter window of a hard top type vehicle. 11 is an inner panel 1 such as a door inner panel or a vehicle body inner panel.
This main guide rail 11 is oriented in the vertical direction of the vehicle (vertical direction in the figure) and is attached with the upper part inclined slightly toward the front of the vehicle. A slider 13 is slidably mounted on the main guide rail 11, and the slider 13 is fixed to a wire 14 disposed along the main guide rail 11. That is, the wire 14 is connected to pulleys 15 attached to both ends of the main guide rail 11.
15a, both ends of the wire 14 are connected to the drum 16.
It is wound up. By rotating this drum 16 manually via a handle 17 (shown in the figure) or electrically via a motor (not shown), one end of the wire 14 is wound around the drum 16 and the wire 14 is rotated. The wire 14 is moved by unwinding the other end, and the slider 13 is accordingly slid on the main guide rail 11. Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, an L-shaped link 18 is attached to the slider 13 via a pivot 18a, and is rotatable along a plane parallel to the inner panel 12. . A pair of first rollers 19, 19a are attached to the long side of the L-shape of the link 18, and a second roller 2 is attached to the tip of the short side of the L-shape.
0 is attached. On the other hand, reference numeral 21 denotes a window glass, and a lifting guide rail 22 having a U-shaped cross section is fixed to the lower side of the window glass 21 via a bracket 22a, oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. By the way, since the first rollers 19 and 19a are fitted to the lifting guide rail 22, the lifting guide rail 22 and the link 18 can move relative to each other along the lifting guide rail 22. However, by locking the rollers 19 and 19a, the relative rotation of both the lifting guide rail 22 and the link 18 is prevented. 23 is arranged on the vehicle rear side of the main guide rail 11, and is arranged on the inner panel 1
2 is a tilting guide rail having a U-shaped cross section and fixed to the vehicle vertically. Thus, the second roller 20 moves along the tilting guide rail 23. Further, the upper half of the slope guide rail 23 is arranged parallel to the main guide rail 11, and the lower half is bent toward the rear of the vehicle so that the distance between it and the main guide rail 11 gradually increases. ing. Reference numeral 24 denotes a longitudinal movement guide rail which is disposed on the vehicle front side of the main guide rail 11 and fixed to the inner panel 12 so as to be oriented in the vertical direction of the vehicle, and has a U-shaped cross section. , a third roller 25 attached to the lifting guide rail 22 via a bracket 22b is fitted, and the third roller 25 moves along the back-and-forth moving guide rail 24 as the lifting guide rail 22 moves up and down. It is becoming more common to move around. The upper half of the longitudinal movement guide rail 24 is connected to the main guide rail 11.
The guide rail 11 is bent toward the front of the vehicle so that the lower half thereof is substantially parallel to the main guide rail 11. A recessed portion 26 is formed at the lower rear portion of the inner panel 12 so as to avoid a tire house (not shown).

With the above configuration, in the wire type window regulator 10 according to the present invention, when the window is closed, the window glass 21 is raised and remains stationary, as shown by the solid line in FIG. From this state, when the handle 17 (or a motor not shown) is rotated to lower the window glass 21, the link 18 moves along with the slider 13.
And the lifting guide rail 22 moves downward.
Then, the third roller 25 moves downward along the longitudinal movement guide rail 24, but since the lower part of the longitudinal movement guide rail 24 is inclined rearward, the third roller 25 moves toward the rear of the vehicle. be done. Therefore, the lifting guide rail 22 equipped with the third roller 25 gradually moves rearward together with the window glass 21 while moving relative to the link 18. Further, the second roller 20 also
3, it descends along the inclining guide rail 23, but while the inclining guide rail 23 extends parallel to the main guide rail 11, the elevating guide rail 22 is not inclined. It descends while remaining parallel. and,
When the slider 13 further descends and the second roller 20 passes through the bent portion 23a of the tilting guide rail 23, and the distance between the tilting guide rail 23 and the main guide rail 11 increases, Since the second roller 20 is moved later than the slider 13, the rear portion of the link 18 is rotated upward.
Then, the lifting guide rail 22 moves to the link 18.
At the same time, the window glass 21 is rotated to tilt the window glass 21. Therefore, the window glass 21 is located in the storage section 12.
When the window glass 21 is completely stored in the storage part 12a, the lower end of the window glass 21 is tilted away from the recessed part 26, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 2, and the space inside the storage part 12a is effectively utilized. be done. Therefore, the amount of descent of the window glass 21 can be set to be large, so that the function as a rear quarter window can be sufficiently achieved.

Incidentally, when the window glass 21 is raised, the operation is opposite to the operation when the window glass 21 is lowered, and the window panel 21 is raised to the position shown by the solid line in the figure.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, the main guide rail 11 is shown as being installed with the upper part inclined toward the front of the vehicle, but the main guide rail 11 is not limited to this. It may be changed as appropriate. Of course, in this case, the amount of inclination of the inclining guide rail 23 is also changed along with the main guide rail 11. In addition, the main guide rail 11. The front-back relationship of the guide rail 23 for inclination and the guide rail 24 for longitudinal movement can be set arbitrarily.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, in the wire type wind regulator for a vehicle of the present invention, as the slider descends, the link is rotated by the inclining guide rail, so that the elevating guide rail The windshield is provided with a function in which the window glass is tilted through the link, and a function in which the window glass is moved back and forth by moving the elevating guide rail relative to the link by the back and forth moving guide rail. Therefore, when the lower rear part of the window glass storage section is recessed into the storage section, for example, even in the case of a rear quarter window of a hard-top automobile, the window panel can be effectively stored in the space inside the storage section, so that the windshield panel can be effectively stored in the space inside the storage section. This has excellent practical effects in that the panel can be raised and lowered by a large amount, and the function as the rear quarter window can be sufficiently performed.
