Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a door curtain assembly for a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Door glass is installed on the door for lighting and ventilation.

[0003] In addition, door curtains (hereinafter referred to as "curtains") are installed on vehicle doors to selectively cover door glass for light blocking and privacy protection.

[0004] When not in use, the curtain is stored in the vehicle door in a rolled-up state, and when in use, the curtain is pulled out of the vehicle door and unfolded parallel to the door glass.

[0005] A shade bar is provided at an upper end portion of the curtain to evenly open the curtain when the curtain is unfolded.

[0006] Usually, when the curtain is unfolded, the blackout strip is fixed to the door frame. For this reason, a hook is installed on the door frame to lock and fix the blackout strip when the curtain is unfolded. After the curtain is unfolded, the blackout strip is locked and fixed to the hook, thereby maintaining the unfolded state of the curtain.

[0007] Meanwhile, in recent years, the use of frameless doors, in which a door frame supporting the periphery of a door glass at an upper portion of the door is removed, is expanding.

[0008] The problem with frameless doors is that curtains cannot be applied to frameless doors as there is no door frame applied and the blackout strips cannot be secured to the door when the curtain is extended.

[0009] In addition, even when the door frame is applied, there are certain problems: the hook is exposed to the outside, which damages the appearance of the door; and a gap for combining the shading strip and the hook is inevitably present between the shading strip and the door frame, which allows light to pass through the gap.

[0051] Hereinafter, a pop-up deployment type door curtain assembly for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] A pop-up deployable door curtain assembly for a vehicle according to the present invention includes: a curtain 21, which is deployed to cover the door glass 11 when pulled out from the door; a rod 24, which is installed to be able to rise and fall on the door, includes an upper end portion fixed to the upper end portion of the curtain 21, and supports the curtain 21 in the deployed state; a slider 27, which is fixed to the lower end portion of the rod 24 and is configured to rise integrally with the rod 24; a first roller unit 42, which is configured to elastically support the slider 27 in the ascending direction to allow the curtain 21 to be deployed; a second roller unit 52, which is configured to move the slider 27 downward along with the descending operation of the door glass 11; and a button unit 30, which is configured to limit the deployment of the curtain 21 when the curtain 21 is stored in the door.

[0053] The curtain 21 can be made of fabric or the like, and can be stored in the vehicle door interior in a rolled-up state. In use, when the curtain 21 is pulled out from the vehicle door, the curtain 21 can be unfolded near the inner surface of the vehicle door glass 11.

[0054] The frame 12 may be installed inside the vehicle door. The frame 12 may be formed along the length direction of the vehicle, and the curtain 21 may be stored inside the frame 12 in a rolled state. The frame 12 may be formed in a tubular structure, and may be formed in a state where the upper surface is cut so as to pull out and store the curtain 21. A cover 12a for covering the cut portion and a guide 12b for guiding the pulling out and storing of the curtain 21 may be provided on the cut upper surface of the frame 12. Both ends of the frame 12 may be finished by inserting end caps 12c.

[0055] The shaft 22 is rotatably installed in the frame 12. The lower end of the curtain 21 can be fixed to the shaft 22. When the curtain 21 is stored, the shaft 22 can be rotated, and then the curtain 21 can be rolled on the shaft 22 and stored. In the process of pulling out the curtain 21, the curtain 21 can be pulled out to rotate the shaft 22.

[0056] A winding spring 22a for elastically supporting the shaft 22 may be installed on one side of the shaft 22 so that the curtain 21 can be wound around the shaft 22. The winding spring 22a may be formed in the form of a spring, may be connected to the shaft 22 and the frame 12, and elastically supports the shaft 22 to rotate in a direction in which the shaft 22 winds the curtain 21. The unrolled curtain 21 may be automatically wound around the shaft 22 by the winding spring 22a, so that the curtain 21 may be stored inside the vehicle door.

[0057] The shading strip 23 may be provided at an upper end portion of the curtain 21. The shading strip 23 may be arranged in a length direction of the vehicle and may be fixed to an upper end portion of the curtain 21 so as to enable the curtain 21 to be evenly opened when the curtain 21 is unfolded.

[0058] A knob 23a may be provided on the shading bar 23. The passenger can move the shading bar 23 downward while holding the knob 23a, so that the curtain 21 is wound around the shaft 22, thereby storing the curtain 21. However, since the passenger can directly hold and move the shading bar 23 downward, the knob 23a may be omitted.

[0059] In addition, a lock hook 23b locked on the stopper 32 may be formed on the shading bar 23, which will be described below. When the shading bar 23 is lowered, the lock hook 23b passes the stopper 32, and when the shading bar 23 is raised, the rising operation of the lock hook 23b is limited by the stopper 32.

[0060] When the curtain 21 is stored, the shading strip 23 may be located below the waistline (LL line).

[0061] The rod 24 can support the shading strip 23 to maintain the unfolded state of the curtain 21. In the vehicle door curtain assembly of the embodiment of the present invention, since the shading strip 23 is not fixed to the door frame or the vehicle body, the rod 24 can support the shading strip 23 to maintain the unfolded state of the curtain 21. That is, when the curtain 21 is unfolded, the shading strip 23 and the rod 24 are both raised, and when the rising operation is completed, the rod 24 can support the shading strip 23 to maintain the curtain 21 in the unfolded state. In this way, since the shading strip 23 is not combined and fixed to the door frame or the vehicle body, the curtain 21 can be installed on the vehicle door regardless of whether the door frame is applied. Therefore, the curtain 21 can be applied even to a frameless vehicle door to which the shading strip 23 cannot be fixed. The rod 24 can rise or fall together with the shading strip 23. In the state where the curtain 21 is stored, the rod 24 can be located inside the vehicle door, and when the curtain 21 is unfolded, the rod 24 can rise together with the shading strip 23 to be exposed to the outside.

[0062] The guide rail 25 may guide the rising and falling operation of the rod 24. The guide rail 25 may be formed into a hollow tubular structure so that the rod 24 and the slider 27 may be installed therein to slide. Alternatively, the slider 27 may be assembled to one side of the guide rail 25 in a slidable state. The lower end of the guide rail 25 may be fixed to the vehicle door by a fixing bracket 26.

[0063] A guide housing 25 a for fixing the guide rail 25 to the vehicle door may be installed at an upper portion of the guide rail 25 , and a cable fixing part 25 b fixing one end portion of the first cable 41 may be formed on the guide housing 25 a .

[0064] The slider 27 may be assembled to the rod 24 and slidably mounted on the guide rail 25. The slider 27 may enable the rod 24 to smoothly rise or fall on the inner surface of the guide rail 25.

[0065] A cable groove 27 a may be formed on the slider 27 in the ascending and descending directions of the slider 27 .

[0066] The first pulley 28 may be disposed below the slider 27. The first pulley 28 may lock the first cable 41 to change the direction of the first cable 41.

[0067] The button unit 30 may be provided on the vehicle door, and when the curtain 21 is stored in the vehicle door, the button unit 30 may restrict the spreading of the curtain 21. In addition, when the curtain 21 stored in the vehicle door is spread, the button unit 30 may be operated by the passenger.

[0068] To this end, the button unit 30 may include a button 31 operated by the occupant and a stopper 32 for limiting the rise of the upper end of the curtain 21. Since the button unit 30 is installed at the upper end of the door trim 13, when the curtain 21 is stored inside the door, the stopper 32 can limit the rise of the upper end of the curtain 21, so that the curtain 21 remains in the stored state.

[0069] The button 31 and the stopper 32 are slidably mounted on the upper portion of the door trim 13 in a direction perpendicular to the ascending and descending direction of the shading strip 23. The button 31 and the stopper 32 may be combined with each other and slide in opposite directions. That is, the button 31 and the stopper 32 may be combined so that when the button 31 is pressed, the stopper 32 may slide in the opposite direction to the operating direction of the button 31. In order to enable the button 31 and the stopper 32 to slide in opposite directions, a direction-changing gear 33 may be installed between the button 31 and the stopper 32. The direction-changing gear 33 may be installed between the button 31 and the stopper 32, and the button 31 and the stopper 32 may be engaged with the direction-changing gear 33 so that the stopper 32 slides in the opposite direction to the operating direction of the button 31.

[0070] The stopper 32 can limit the rising operation of the lock hook 23b of the shading strip 23 to keep the curtain 21 in the state of being stored in the door. Since the lower surface of the stopper 32 and the upper surface of the lock hook 23b are each formed as a flat surface, when the lock hook 23b is located below the stopper 32, the stopper 32 can limit the rising operation of the lock hook 23b.

[0071] Meanwhile, the stopper 32 and the lock hook 23b may be configured so that when the lock hook 23b is located at a position higher than the stopper 32, the lock hook 23b may pass through the stopper 32. To this end, the end of the stopper 32 and the end of the lock hook 23b may each be formed in a round shape. Therefore, when the lock hook 23b is lowered while being located higher than the stopper 32, the lock hook 23b may push the stopper 32 to be lowered.

[0072] The return spring 34 may be installed between the button 31 and the door trim 13. The return spring 34 elastically supports the button 31 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the button 31 is pressed. Therefore, the return spring 34 may elastically support the stopper 32 toward the lock hook 23b.

[0073] The first roller unit 42 may be mounted inside the vehicle door to allow the curtain 21 to be deployed using the first cable 41 (see Figure 3 (Part A of the ).

[0074] One end of the first cable 41 may be fixed to one side of the door, the other end thereof may be wound around the first drum unit 42 , and a middle portion thereof may pass through the first pulley 28 .

[0075] One end portion of the first cable 41 may be fixed to an upper portion of the guide rail 25 or the guide housing 25 a .

[0076] The first reel unit 42 may wind up the other end portion of the first cable 41 and wind up the first cable 41 by a predetermined length from the other end portion thereof.

[0077] The first reel unit 42 may include a first shell 42a fixed to the vehicle door, a first reel 42b rotatably mounted inside the first shell 42a and around which the first cable 41 is wound, and a first cable spring 42c configured to elastically support the first reel 42b in the direction in which the first cable 41 is wound around the first reel 42b.

[0078] The first reel 42b and the first cable spring 42c are rotatably mounted inside the first housing 42a. The first cable spring 42c may be provided in the form of a clockwork spring, and the first cable spring 42c may elastically support the first reel 42b to allow the first cable 41 to be wound around the first reel 42b. Therefore, when the restriction of the shading strip 23 is released from the stopper 32, the first reel unit 42 may wind the first cable 41, the length of the first cable 41 may be shortened, and thus the first pulley 28 rises. When the first pulley 28 rises, the slider 27, the rod 24, and the shading strip 23 may rise, and the curtain 21 may be pulled out of the door.

[0079] The first cable 41 may pass through a first pulley 28 installed at a lower end portion of the slider 27 and a second pulley 43 installed at one side of the door. Since the first cable 41 passes through the first pulley 28, when the first cable 41 is wound around the first drum unit 42 and thus the length of the exposed first cable 41 is shortened, the first pulley 28 may rise to unfold the curtain 21. The second pulley 43 is used to change the direction of the first cable 41 passing through the first pulley 28 so that the first cable 41 is wound around the first drum unit 42.

[0080] The second drum unit 52 may be installed inside the door to interlock the lowering operation of the door glass 11 with the lowering operation of the slider 27 using the second cable 51 (see Fig. 9 Therefore, when the door glass 11 is lowered, the curtain 21 can be stored inside the door.

[0081] One end of the second cable 51 may be connected to the lower portion of the door glass 11. A cable bracket 11a may be fastened to the lower portion of the door glass 11, and one end of the second cable 51 may be connected to the cable bracket 11a (see Fig.12). Therefore, when the door glass 11 descends, one end of the second cable 51 may also descend along with the door glass 11. Preferably, a pad 11b is provided between the door glass 11 and the cable bracket 11a to improve the assemblability between the door glass 11 and the cable bracket 11a and prevent noise. The pad 11b may be made of non-woven fabric, foam pad, rubber, etc.

[0082] The second reel unit 52 can maintain a constant tension on the second cable 51. The second reel unit 52 can wind the other end of the second cable 51 by a predetermined length. Similar to the first reel unit 42, the second reel unit 52 may include: a second housing 52a fixed to the door; a second reel 52b rotatably mounted inside the second housing 52a and on which the second cable 51 is wound; and a second cable spring 52c configured to elastically support the second reel 52b in a direction in which the second cable 51 is wound around the second reel 52b.

[0083] When the door glass 11 rises, the second cable 51 is wound around the second drum unit 52 so that the second cable 51 can maintain proper tension. The second cable 51 can be supported by the third pulley 53, the fourth pulley 54, and the fifth pulley 55, which are provided between the lower portion of the door glass 11 and the second drum unit 52, and the direction of the second cable 51 can be changed.

[0084] Meanwhile, a lock block 51a may be provided at the middle of the second cable 51 to allow the slider 27 to be lowered together when the second cable 51 moves due to the lowering of the door glass 11. A cable groove 27a may be formed at a separate position in the slider 27 to allow the first cable 41 and the second cable 51 to pass through the slider 27. The second cable 51 may be installed to pass through one cable groove 27a. The lock block 51a may be formed to have a cross-sectional area greater than that of the cable groove 27a and may be installed on the second cable 51 to be located above the slider 27 (see FIG. 2 ). Fig.11 ). Therefore, when the second cable 51 moves downward in a state where the locking block 51a is located on the upper surface of the slider 27, the slider 27 can also move downward. However, when the second cable 51 moves upward, the locking block 51a cannot move the slider 27. In addition, when the slider 27 descends, the locking block 51a can maintain its position, and the slider 27 can be spaced apart from the locking block 51a.

[0085] The operation of the pop-up deployment type door curtain assembly for a vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described as follows.

[0086] When the occupant operates the button unit 30 to deploy the curtain 21 , the curtain 21 may pop up, and the first roller unit 42 may move the shading strip 23 upward so that the curtain 21 is deployed.

[0087] When the occupant presses the button 31 of the button unit 30, the stopper 32 may move in the opposite direction to the operation direction of the button 31 to separate from the lock hook 23b. When the stopper 32 separates from the lock hook 23b, the shade bar 23 becomes able to rise.

[0088] In this case, the curtain 21 can be ejected and unfolded by the first cable 41 and the first roller unit 42. Since the elastic force acts in the direction in which the first cable 41 is pulled by the first cable spring 42c, the first cable 41 can move the first pulley 28 upward. When the first pulley 28 rises, the slider 27, the rod 24 and the shading strip 23 can rise (see Figure 8 ). Since the curtain 21 is connected to the shading strip 23, the curtain 21 can be unfolded. That is, when the first cable spring 42c rotates the first drum 42b, the first drum 42b can wind the first cable 41, so the length of the exposed first cable 41 can be shortened. Therefore, the first pulley 28 can rise. When the first pulley 28 rises, the slider 27, the rod 24, and the shading strip 23 can rise, and the curtain 21 can be pulled out of the door and unfolded.

[0089] Since the shading strip 23 is not connected to the door frame or the vehicle body structure and is supported by the rod 24, the upper surface of the shading strip 23 can be arranged without a gap between the door frame and the roof, so that the unshielded area in the upward direction of the shading strip 23 disappears, thereby reducing the amount of shielding. In addition, since the shading strip 23 is not locked and fixed to the door frame or the roof, the shading strip 23 can be applied to a frameless door without a door frame.

[0090] When the curtain 21 is unfolded, the second roller unit 52 can wind the second cable 51 so that the second cable 51 is tightened (see Fig.10 ).

[0091] Meanwhile, when the passenger wants to store the curtain 21, and when the shading strip 23 is lowered using the handle 23a, the curtain 21 can be rolled up and stored inside the door (see FIG. Fig.13 ). When the handle 23a is not applied, the occupant can directly press the shading bar 23 to move the shading bar 23 downward.

[0092] When the passenger holds the handle 23 a to move the shading strip 23 downward or directly holds and moves the shading strip 23 downward, the lower end of the curtain 21 may be wound around the shaft 22 and stored inside the frame 12 in a wound state.

[0093] In addition, the rod 24 and the slider 27 can be lowered together with the shading strip 23. In addition, as the slider 27 is lowered, the first cable 41 can be released from the first drum unit 42 (see Fig.14 ).

[0094] When the occupant continues to move the shading strip 23 downward, the lock hook 23b may pass over the stopper 32. Since the ends of the lock hook 23b and the stopper 32 are each formed in a round shape, the lock hook 23b is lowered to pass over the stopper 32 in a state where the lock hook 23b is located at a position higher than the stopper 32. Then, when the stopper 32 is located at a position lower than the lock hook 23b, the stopper 32 restricts the rising operation of the lock hook 23b. Therefore, even when the occupant releases the handle 23a or the shading strip 23, the shading strip 23 does not rise, and the curtain 21 remains in the stored state.

[0095] In addition, as described above, when the shading bar 23 is lowered alone, the second cable 51 is not released or wound (see Fig.15 In this case, as the sliding member 27 descends, the sliding member 27 may be spaced apart from the locking block 51a.

[0096] At the same time, when the passenger moves the door glass 11 downward while both the door glass 11 and the curtain 21 are raised, the curtain 21 can also be lowered along with the lowering operation of the door glass 11 (see Fig.17 ).

[0097] When the door glass 11 is lowered, the door glass 11 may pull one end of the second cable 51, so the second cable 51 may be released from the second drum unit 52. When the door glass 11 is lowered, the second cable 51 may move to pass through the third pulley 53, the fourth pulley 54, and the fifth pulley 55. In this case, the lock block 51a fixed to the second cable 51 may be lowered between the third pulley 53 and the fourth pulley 54 to move the slider 27 downward. When the lock block 51a being lowered is locked on the upper surface of the slider 27, the slider 27 may be locked on the lock block 51a to be lowered. When the slider 27 is lowered, the shading strip 23 and the rod 24 are lowered, and the curtain 21 may be wound on the shaft 22 and stored.

[0098] When the door glass 11 continues to descend, the lock hook 23b of the shading strip 23 can pass over the stopper 32. Thereafter, when the descending operation of the door glass 11 is completed, since the lock hook 23b is locked to the stopper 32 and is restricted from ascending, the curtain 21 can be kept in a state of being inserted into the frame 12 (see FIG. Fig.18 ).

[0099] When the slider 27 is lowered along with the lowering operation of the door glass 11 , the first cable 41 may be released from the first reel unit 42 according to the lowering operation of the slider 27 .

[0100] Meanwhile, when the curtain 21 is lowered, the door glass 11 is raised regardless of the curtain 21. When the curtain 21 is lowered, the lock hook 23b of the shading strip 23 can be locked to the stopper 32, so the rising operation of the lock hook 23b is restricted (see Fig.19 ). Therefore, the curtain 21 does not rise or fall with the rising and falling operation of the door glass 11. However, the second cable 51 can be wound around or released from the second reel unit 52 according to the rising and falling operation of the door glass 11, but the lock block 51a moves within the range in which the lock block 51a is not locked on the upper surface of the slider 27.

[0101] According to the pop-up unfolding type vehicle door curtain assembly for a vehicle of the embodiment of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, since the upper end of the curtain is not fixed to the door frame, the curtain can be applied regardless of whether the door frame exists. Therefore, the semi-automatic curtain can be applied even to a frameless vehicle door.

[0102] The curtain can be manually retracted by the passenger, and during deployment, the curtain can be automatically deployed by the elastic force of the spring, so that the curtain can be conveniently used. In addition, since electrical components for deploying or retracting the curtain and electronic components for controlling the electrical components are not used, the structure can be simplified. In addition, since expensive electrical components and electronic components are not used, the production cost can be reduced.

[0103] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and are not limited to the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein. Therefore, it should be noted that such alternatives or modifications fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention should be interpreted based on the appended claims.
