【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 9, reference numeral 1 denotes a sunroof device provided on a roof of a two-box three-door hatch bag vehicle having left and right front doors 2 and a rear door, and a front frame 5 for attaching a windshield 4 fixed to a vehicle body 3 and a front door. An opening 7 corresponding to the front seats is formed between the fixed roof 6 fixed to the vehicle body 3 on the rear side of 2 and the opening 7 reaches the glass of the left and right front doors 2, and It is continuous with the open / close doors.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a rear frame that constitutes a rear portion of the vehicle body 3, and has left and right side pillars 10, a rear pillar 11, a roof frame 13 connected to them, and the like, and between the side pillar 10 and the rear pillar 11. A side glass 14 is provided in the. The roof frame 13 has a substantially rectangular frame shape in plan view with an opening at the center, and the fixed roof 6 is attached via a bracket 15.

A movable roof 18 is supported by the rear frame 9 so as to be movable back and forth. From the fully closed position α where the front end abuts the front frame 5 to close the opening 7, substantially the entire length is fixed roof 6. And the roof frame 13 are moved to the fully open position β. The movable roof 18 (or the movable rail 20) is connected to the front frame 5 at a fully closed position α via a connecting mechanism (not shown).

Fixed rails 19 which are long in the front-rear direction are fixed on the left and right sides of the roof frame 13 by bolts. The fixed rails 19 are fitted so as to cover a long movable rail 20 having a gate-shaped cross section. I am fit. A large number of rollers 21 pivotally supported on the front of the fixed rail 19 engage with guide grooves 22 of the movable rail 20, and a large number of rollers 23 pivotally supported on the rear of the movable rail 20 guide the fixed rail 19. The movable rail 20 is engaged with the groove 24 and supports the movable rail 20 so as to slide straight forward and backward without tilting. The lateral lower surface of the movable roof 18 is placed and connected to the left and right movable rails 20 via brackets 40 and cushioning materials.

A drive shaft 30 is arranged inside the left and right fixed rails 19 on the roof frame 13 in parallel therewith. The drive shaft 30 is formed of a screw shaft, and a slider 32 is screwed into the drive shaft 30, and the slider 32 is moved back and forth by rotating. The slider 32 is connected to the rear portion of the movable rail 20 via a connecting body 33, and the movable rail 20 and the movable roof 18 are moved by the forward / backward movement of the slider 32.

A front end of each of the left and right drive shafts 30 is supported by a bearing 31 fixed to the roof frame 13, and a rear end thereof is supported by a gear case 34. The gear case 34 accommodates a worm gear and a worm wheel, and a worm wheel. The drive shaft 30 is connected to the. A motor 35 is fixed to each of the left and right gear cases 34, and an output shaft of the left and right motors 35 is connected to a worm gear and a flexible shaft 36. The left and right flexible shafts 36 are manually driven by an emergency means 37. The left and right drive shafts 30 are set to rotate at a constant speed.

The drive shaft 30, the slider 32, the gear case 34, the motor 35 and the like constitute a drive mechanism 38 that moves the movable roof 18 forward and backward at high speed and reliably, and the left and right drive shafts 30 are rotated by the rotation of the motor 35. At the same time, it is possible to drive at a constant speed. When the sunroof device 1 is opened / closed by operating the fully open operation switch to operate the drive mechanism 38 from the fully closed position α shown in FIG. 3 to rotate the drive shaft 30 in the same direction, the slider 32 moves backward to move the movable rail. 20 and the movable roof 18 are moved backward, and the opening 7 is opened until the fully opened position β shown in FIG. 4 is reached. When the movable rail 20 comes into contact with the stopper at the rear end of the fixed rail 19, a decrease in the rotation speed of the motor 35 is detected by a photo sensor or a limit switch is operated to stop the drive mechanism 38.

The closing operation is the operation of the fully open operation switch, and when the drive mechanism 38 is reversely operated from the fully open position β in FIG. 4, the slider 32 moves forward to move the movable rail 20 and the movable roof 18 forward, and the opening 7 The movable roof 18 is moved forward until it is closed. When the movable roof 18 comes into contact with the front frame 5 and the resistance becomes excessive, the photo sensor detects this and stops the drive mechanism 38.

The fixed rail 19 and the movable rail 20 are formed, for example, by extruding an aluminum alloy, and a guide groove 24 is formed on the lower left and right side surfaces of the fixed rail 19 over the entire length thereof. A group of rollers in which a large number of rollers 21 are arranged is provided in the front part of the upper part. On the other hand, the movable rail 20 is of a cross-section gate type that covers the fixed rail 19, a guide groove 22 that engages with a group of rollers 21 of the fixed rail 19 is formed on the upper side of each of the left and right inner surfaces, and a fixed rear portion is fixed on the lower side. A roller group is provided in which a large number of rollers 23 that engage with the guide grooves 24 of the rail 19 are arranged.

Each of the rollers 21 and 23 of the fixed rail 19 and the movable rail 20 is rotatably supported by a support pin 43, and its outer diameter is set to be smaller than the vertical gap between the guide grooves 22 and 24 with which it engages. Therefore, the rollers of each set are in contact with only one of the upper and lower surfaces of the guide groove 22 and roll instead of sliding. A fixed head lining (not shown) that covers the lower surface of the roof frame 13 is fixed, and a movable head lining 28 that covers the lower surface of the movable roof 18 is attached to the movable roof 18, as shown in FIGS. ing. In the movable head lining 28, both sides of the central lining 28A are connected to the movable rail 20, one side of the left and right side linings 28B is connected to the movable rail 20, and the other side is connected to the movable roof 18.

That is, a plurality of brackets 26 each having an elongated hole 26a are attached to the left and right side surfaces of the movable rail 20 to form a mounting portion 27, and the elongated holes 26a of the mounting portion 27 are formed on the side portions of the headlinings 28A and 28B. A long hole 28a is formed at a position corresponding to the above, and a grip 29a corresponding to the long hole 26a is provided in a mounting member 29 having substantially the same length as the mounting portion 27.

Then, the side portions of the headlinings 28A and 28B are applied to the lower surface of the mounting portion 27 from below, and the mounting member 29 is further applied to the lower side of the mounting portion 27 to attach the grip 29a to the headlinings 28A and 28B. It is inserted through the hole 28a and engages with the elongated hole 26a of the mounting portion 27. As a result, the side portions of the head linings 28A and 28B are sandwiched between the mounting portion 27 and the mounting member 29, and the mounting portions of the grip 29a and the head linings 28A and 28B are covered by the mounting member 29.

The bracket 26 forming the mounting portion 27 may be a long member having a plurality of long holes 26a formed therein. FIG. 10 shows a modified example of the headlining mounting structure. The mounting portion 27 is formed by forming a long hole 26a in a flange portion integrally formed from the movable rail 20 in a laterally protruding shape. The mounting member 29 and the grip 29a provided on the mounting member 29 are the same as those in the above-described embodiment.

In the case of this modified example, the bracket and the screw for fixing the bracket to the movable rail 20 are not required, and the processing and assembly are further facilitated.

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention described in detail above, the head lining mounting portion 27 is formed on the side portion of the movable rail 20, and the head lining 28 is applied to the head lining mounting portion 27 from below and the mounting member 29 is formed. Since the mounting is performed by sandwiching, the mounting portion 27 can be provided by using the movable rail 20, and the headlining 28 can be easily mounted to the mounting portion 27 via the mounting member 29. It is simple and can absorb manufacturing errors.
