Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Purpose of Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a hood type sunroof device for opening and closing a roof of a vehicle.

(Prior Art) A conventional hood-type sunroof device of this type in the related art has an opening formed in a roof of a vehicle along guide rails fixed on both sides of the opening, and a hood body serving as a link mechanism. By sliding it while folding it, the closed state is changed to the open state. The coupling between the hood body and the link mechanism is inserted into the notches provided in the hood body at both ends of the pipe connecting the link mechanisms. I was doing that.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the above-described hood type sunroof, the hood body is connected to the pipe only by inserting both ends of the pipe into the notches provided in the hood body, and therefore the high speed is achieved. Due to negative pressure and wind force during traveling, a force is applied to the hood body in the direction in which the pipe comes out, and this force causes the hood body to move. As a result, the hood may come off the pipe.

Therefore, the present invention has its technical problem to prevent the hood from coming off from the pipe.

[Constitution of device]

(Means for Solving the Problems) The technical means taken in the present invention for solving the above technical problems are provided on both end sides of the pipe separately from the both ends at a predetermined position from the center and separately from the pipe. A hook having a shape bent to the center side, and a turn-back portion having notches formed on both sides of the hood for engaging the hook and having both ends of the pipe locked. is there.

(Operation) The above technical means operates as follows. Even if a force is applied to the hood body in the pulling direction, the hood body is prevented from moving in all directions, and as a result, the hood body is more reliably prevented from coming off the pipe due to the engagement between the hook and the notch.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, a vehicle roof 1 having an opening 2 is covered with an opening 2 and a slide mechanism 10 operates to open and close the opening 2. It is slidably held by a slide mechanism 10 held by the vehicle roof 1 via a housing 3. Further, a deflector 4 is fixed to the front part of the vehicle roof 1 so as to cover the front part of the opening 2, and a garni cashmere 5 is fixed to the rear part.

As shown in FIG. 1, the guide rails 11 of the slide mechanism 10 are arranged on both sides of the opening 2, and the guide rails 11 extend in the longitudinal direction, that is, in the sliding direction of the hood body 20. Groove 12 is formed. Furthermore, the guide rail 11 has
A groove 13 rising to the left and a groove 14 descending to the left are formed so as to respectively communicate with the groove 12. This guide rail 11 has a shoe 15
Are held slidably via rollers 16. The shoe 15 is connected to the drive means 7 via a cable 6. Further, a triangular first link 17 and a triangular second link 18 are pivotally supported by the shoe 15 via a third link 19 respectively. One end of this first link 17
It is pivotally supported by the shoe 15, and the other end is slidably held in the groove 14 to the left in the state shown in FIG.
In addition, one end of the second link 18 has a roller 21 in the groove 13 rising to the left.
Is slidably supported via a roller 22 and the other end is slidably held in the groove 12 via a roller 22. Furthermore, the first
The tips of the second links 17 and 18 are connected to the hood body 30 via the brackets 23, respectively.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the hood body 30 includes a front hard panel 31, a lower hard panel 32, and a canvas roof 33 connecting the front hard panel 31 and the lower hard panel 32. Has been done. The bracket 23 is fixed to the front hard panel 31, and
It is slidably held on the guide rail 11 via the second links 17 and 18. The rear hard panel 32 is fixed to the housing 3, and the canvas roof 33 is slidably held by the guide rail 11 via a link mechanism 40. A glass 34 is attached to the front hard panel 31 so that light can be taken even when the opening 2 is closed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the link mechanism 40
Is composed of a vertical link 41 slidably held by the left and right guide rails 11 and a horizontal link 42 connected to the vertical link 41. The left and right vertical links 41 and 42 are Each of them is connected to the guide rail 11 by a pipe 43 arranged vertically. Both ends 43 of this pipe 43
A is processed into a flat plate shape, and a hook 44 bent toward the center of the pipe 43 is fixed to each. Further, notches 45 are formed in a straight line at the folded-back portions 33a on both sides of the canvas roof 33, respectively. This pipe
Both ends of 43 are provided with a canvas roof 33 and a folded portion 33a, respectively.
By inserting the hook 44 and the notch 45, the pipe 43 and the canvas roof 33 are joined together,
The canvas roof 33 and the link mechanism 40 are connected. By combining the above-mentioned CANPASS roof 33 and pipe 43,
Negative pressure or wind force during high-speed driving exerts a force on the hood body in the direction in which the pipe 43 is pulled out, and even if the canvas roof 33 attempts to move due to this force, the hook 44 and the notch 45 engage with the canvas roof 33. Therefore, the canvas roof 33 is prevented from coming off the pipe 43 in order to prevent the movement.

Next, the operation will be described.

In the state shown in FIG. 5 (fully closed state), when the drive means 7 is actuated, the cable 6 is pulled and the shoe 15 slides along the groove 12. As a result, the roller 20 ascends along the groove 34 and the roller 21 descends along the groove 36. As a result, the first link 17 and the second link 18 are rotated clockwise in the first illustrated direction, respectively. When the front hard panel 12 rotates counterclockwise, the front hard panel 31 shown in FIG. 6 is brought into the tilt-up state. After that, when the cable 6 is further pulled by the operation of the motor,
The shoe 15 slides further along the groove 12, resulting in the seventh
As shown in the figure, the front hard panel 31 slides in the tilt-up state and the canvas roof
33 is folded under the front hard panel 31 by the link mechanism 34, and finally, the front hard panel 31
Moves to the canvas roof 33 and enters the state shown in FIG. 8 (fully opened state). In this state, the front hard panel 31 is integrated with the garnish 5 to form a large spoiler, and the canvas roof 33 includes the front hard panel 31, the rear hard panel 32, and the garnish 5.
It is stored between and.

According to the present invention, even if a negative force or wind force at high speed is applied to the hood body in the pulling direction, the hood body is prevented from moving in all directions. It is possible to more reliably prevent the hood from coming off the pipe due to the engagement with the notch.
