Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention provides a sunroof installed on the roof of the atsupa body in a vehicle that has an atsupa body that is removably attached to the vehicle body and a window frame that is installed so that it can be raised and folded. Regarding drainage equipment.

Conventionally, in general vehicles equipped with a sunroof, the first
As shown in the figure, four drain pipes H to H are piped along the pillars from the corners of the drain groove provided around the opening K of the sunroof S to the vicinity of each wheel house. However, in this case, not only does the installation work of bending and installing each drain pipe H become complicated, but also it requires a window frame that can be raised. In the case of vehicles, there was a drawback that the window frame could not be tilted.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, an object of the present invention is to provide a drainage system for a vehicle sunroof that can cope with the raising and lowering of a window frame and is easy to install piping.

Next, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawing, 1 is a sunroof installed horizontally on the roof of the Atsupa body A, which is removably attached to the upper part of the body B. Near the center thereof, there is a rectangular opening 2 that can be opened and closed by a sliding door (not shown), and a water receiving groove 3 is provided around the opening 2 in a concave shape, and it serves as a low water level part. A water collection port 4 is provided near the corner of the front end of the water receiving groove 3 to allow drainage.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a window frame that is attached to the body B below the front edge of the sunroof 1 so as to be able to be raised and lowered, and a projecting edge 6
The upper frame part 5a has a through hole 7 in its rear side, and a projecting edge 6 is slightly formed near the upper part of the side frame part 5b. A discharge port 9 is opened in front of the water receiving portion 8 formed in a bulging manner.

Reference numeral 10 denotes an upper drainage pipe which is installed along the lower surface near the front of the sunroof 1. In this example, a rubber hose is used. 3 is supported in a penetrating state by a bracket 11 attached to the front side of the water receiving groove 3, and is connected to the water receiving groove 3 through the water collecting port 4 so as to be able to collect water, while its front end 10b is connected to the upper frame portion 5a through the water receiving groove 3. It is fitted into the hole 7. Reference numeral 12 denotes a lower drain pipe installed inside the frame of the window frame 5 in order to drain the water in the water receiving groove 3 to the outside of the vehicle in cooperation with the upper drain pipe 5. Eel pipe is used,
It is installed internally from the right side of the upper frame part 5a in the drawing along the upper part of the side frame part 5b, and its outer end 12a extends to the right side of the side frame part 5b in the drawing to discharge water to the outside of the vehicle through the discharge port 9. While the opening is open for communication, the vicinity of the inner end 12b is fixed to the inner surface of the upper frame portion 5a via a stopper 13.

The inner end 12b of the lower drain pipe 12 and the front end 10b of the upper drain pipe 10 are removably fitted with a ring clip 14 to connect the upper and lower drain pipes 10, 12 so that they can be separated. When 10 and 12 are connected, a drainage pipe D is formed from the water collection port 4 of the water receiving groove 3 to the outside of the vehicle on the side of the window frame 5.

In addition, the said drain pipe D is installed symmetrically with respect to the left and right sides of a vehicle, if necessary.

Next, the operation and effects of the first embodiment having the above configuration will be explained.

Now, in this example, in order to drain the water in the water receiving groove 3 provided around the opening 2 of the sunroof 1 to the outside of the vehicle,
The upper drain pipe 10 on the sunroof 1 side is connected to the water receiving groove 3 so as to collect water, and the window frame 5 is installed inside the window frame 5 so as to be able to communicate with the outside of the vehicle.
A drain pipe D is formed by connecting the side lower drain pipe 12 in a divisible manner near the upper frame portion 5a of the window frame 5.

Therefore, when the ring clip 14 is expanded to separate the connection between the upper and lower drain pipes 10 and 12, the drain pipe D is not exposed and is divided into the sunroof 1 side and the window frame 5 side, and the window frame 5 Tilting is allowed, and when the window frame 5 is raised, the water receiving groove 3 of the sunroof 1
Rainwater, etc. stored inside the vehicle can be reliably discharged to the outside of the vehicle through the drainage pipe D.

In particular, since the drain pipe D is connected so that it can be divided in the middle of the pipe, if the upper and lower drain pipes 10 and 12 are installed separately and then connected using the ring clip 14, both pipes 10 and 12 are connected to the sunroof 1. It can be easily assembled to the window frame 5, and even if foreign matter flows into the drain pipe D and blocks the pipe, the foreign matter can be easily removed by dividing the upper and lower drain pipes 10 and 12. It has a soothing effect.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be explained according to FIG. 5. In this embodiment, the sunroof 1A includes a synthetic resin foam 15 such as polyurethane.
It is made of a molded FRP body, and the upper drain pipe 1
0A is buried in the sunroof 1A, while a funnel 16 that opens upward and is fitted into the inner end 12bA of the lower drain pipe 12A passes through the through hole 7A in the upper frame part 5aA of the window frame 5A. The front end portion 10bA of the upper drain pipe 10A is loosely fitted in a removable manner.

Therefore, in this example, it is no longer necessary to connect and disconnect the upper and lower drain pipes 10A and 12A in response to the raising and lowering of the window frame 5A. This has the effect of automatically connecting and dividing 10A and 12A. Note that other functions and effects are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment, and therefore their explanations will be omitted.

That is, the present invention provides a water receptacle that is provided around the opening of a sunroof provided on the roof of an upper body that is removably attached to the body in a vehicle having a window frame that is attached to the body so that it can be raised and folded. In order to discharge water in the groove to the outside of the vehicle, an upper drain pipe on the sunroof side is connected to the water receiving groove so that water can be collected, and a lower drain pipe is installed inside the window frame so that water can be drained to the outside of the vehicle. By forming a conduit in which the pipe is divisibly connected near the upper frame of the window frame, the drain conduit can be communicated and divided in response to the up and down movement of the window frame. Since the piping is easy, it is an excellent idea that is extremely practical as a drainage device for a vehicle sunroof.
