Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive window regulator technology, specifically a compact automotive window regulator structure. Background Technology

[0002] Throughout the history of automobile development, car windows, as an important component of vehicles, have continuously evolved in terms of function and ease of operation. Early car windows were mostly manually operated, relying on simple mechanical devices such as cranks or levers to raise and lower the glass. This method was not only laborious to operate, but also difficult to achieve precise window position control. With the advancement of automotive technology, electric windows gradually became more common, and car window actuators came into being.

[0003] The car window regulator contains a drive motor. The drive motor rotates the wheel inside the regulator, which in turn moves the steel cable on the wheel. The movement of the steel cable causes the car window to rise and fall.

[0004] However, this design has many problems in practical application. First, the rubber sealing strip between the front and rear covers of the car door is prone to aging after long-term use. After aging, it is difficult to prevent rainwater and moisture from entering the car door, which will have an adverse effect on the window regulator installed in the car door. The steel wire rope used to drive the window to raise and lower in the window regulator will rust due to long-term contact with rainwater and moisture. The rust layer on the surface of the steel wire rope will cause uneven diameter and easy jamming at the winding wheel. At the same time, its internal structural strength will be weakened. Under the continuous pulling and bending of the winding wheel, the rusted part is more likely to bend due to stress. As the corrosion intensifies, the toughness and fatigue resistance of the steel wire rope will be significantly reduced. The risk of wire breakage will increase sharply during repeated bending and stretching, which will seriously interfere with the normal operation of the window regulator and even cause the window to rise and fall, causing great inconvenience to the use of the vehicle.

[0005] Secondly, steel wire ropes will age and bend after long-term use and reaching their lifespan. Current actuators lack a monitoring structure for steel wire rope bending. Once the bent steel wire rope enters the reel, it will get stuck, causing the window to be unable to be raised or lowered. Subsequent maintenance requires disassembling the window regulator and removing the reel. However, the reel is mostly made of plastic, making it difficult to remove the stuck bent steel wire rope without damaging the reel. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the steel wire rope and the reel together, rather than replacing the damaged steel wire rope separately, which increases maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0018] 1. In the designed oiling and refilling component groups, the overall structural drive is generated by the rotation of the central shaft in the window regulator component group. This design eliminates the need for an additional motor drive. Furthermore, since it is driven by the central shaft, in actual use, the central shaft only rotates when the window is raised or lowered. This means that oiling and refilling operations are only performed synchronously during window raising and lowering, greatly saving energy consumption. Compared to setting separate motors for oiling and refilling for continuous operation, this effectively avoids unnecessary power waste and has a positive impact on the overall energy management of the vehicle, helping to improve the vehicle's range or reduce fuel consumption. The designed detection component group will promptly stop the operation of the oiling and refilling component groups when it detects a bending problem in the wire rope component and issue a warning through sensors, preventing the wire rope component from becoming entangled in the wheel component. When replacing the wire rope component, only the wire rope component needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance costs.

[0019] 2. This structure is equipped with an oiling component group and an oil replenishment component group, which can continuously apply anti-rust oil to the wire rope components. When the window cranking actuator is working, the rotation of the central shaft rod drives the transmission gear and brush component in the oiling component group to rotate. The brush component evenly applies anti-rust oil to the wire rope components, effectively isolating external moisture and reducing the risk of the wire rope rusting due to long-term exposure to a humid environment. This avoids problems such as uneven diameter, reduced strength, bending and broken wires caused by corrosion, and greatly extends the service life of the wire rope.

[0020] 3. The oil replenishment component group, through the unique cooperation of its one-fifth gear and horizontal rack, can achieve intermittent oil replenishment operation. When the one-fifth gear rotates, it will push the horizontal rack to move, which in turn drives the inner slider to move, so that the oil in the oil storage box can enter the oil dripping pipe through the upper oil hole, middle oil channel and lower oil hole, and drip into the brush component. This ensures that the brush component has enough oil to continuously provide lubrication and rust prevention protection for the wire rope component. This design not only ensures the continuous supply of lubricating oil, but also avoids the waste of oil caused by continuous oil supply, thus improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0021] 4. The detection wheel, wheel frame, and slat frame components in the detection assembly form an effective wire rope bending monitoring system. When the wire rope bends, the bent part will lift the detection wheel, causing the wheel frame, slat frame, and retainer to move towards the first transmission gear. The retainer engages with the internal gear of the first transmission gear, thereby locking the first transmission gear and stopping the entire oiling and replenishing assembly from working. This prevents further damage to the system that may be caused by continued use. At the same time, the contact between the slat frame and the contact sensor will trigger a signal to be sent to the vehicle's infotainment system, promptly alerting the user to the wire rope bending situation. This allows the user to be aware of the problem immediately and avoids continuing to use the window regulator when the wire rope is faulty, improving the safety and reliability of vehicle use and preventing window lifting function failure or other safety hazards caused by wire rope malfunction.

[0022] 5. The entire compact automotive window regulator structure organically combines the window regulator component group, oiling component group, oil replenishment component group, and detection component group. Using the main mounting plate and external metal frame as the main mounting and support structure, the various components are compactly installed in a limited space, which improves the integration of the structure and the space utilization rate. It meets the requirements of modern automotive design for the compactness of parts, which helps the lightweight and miniaturization design of automobiles, while reducing the occupation of the limited space inside the car door.

[0040] refer to Figure 8 A detection component assembly 04 is installed on the outside of the wire rope component 16. The detection component assembly 04 is used to perform bending detection on the wire rope component 16. The detection component assembly 04 includes a contact frame assembly 41, which includes a detection wheel component 411 and a wheel frame component 412.

The wheel frame 412 slides in contact with the main mounting plate 11 through the through groove. A spring is installed between the plate frame 42 and the main mounting plate 11.

[0041] Working principle: When controlling the raising and lowering of the car window, the drive motor connected to one end of the central shaft 13 in the window actuator component group 01 will start and drive the central shaft 13 and the worm gear on the central shaft 13 to rotate. The worm gear drives the main worm wheel 14 to rotate, and then the main worm wheel 14 drives the rotating wheel 15 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating wheel 15 drives the steel wire rope 16 wound on it to move, thereby raising and lowering the car window.

[0042] During the rotation of the central shaft member 13, the small worm gear member 22 in the oiling component assembly 02 will rotate. The rotation of the small worm gear member 22 will drive the small turbine member 23 and the upper shaft member 24 to rotate. The rotation of the upper shaft member 24 will drive the transmission gear 1 25, transmission gear 26 and transmission gear 3 27 to rotate, which in turn will drive the small gear member 291 in the two oiling components 29 to rotate. The rotation of the small gear member 291 will drive the large gear member 292. The large gear member 292 will drive the central rotating member 293 and the brush member 294 to rotate. The rotation of the brush member 294 will continuously contact the wire rope member 16, thereby evenly applying the anti-rust oil to the wire rope member 16, achieving the purpose of maintaining the wire rope. When the wire rope has anti-rust oil, it can effectively isolate moisture and thus prevent rusting.

[0043] During the rotation of the central rotating component 293, it also drives the fifth gear 32 to rotate. The structural feature of the fifth gear 32 is that it drives the horizontal rack 33 to move during rotation, and the direction of movement is left or right (e.g., Figure 11 As shown), the horizontal rack 33 will move on the positioning frame 34. The movement of the positioning frame 34 will drive the end plate 35 and the inner slider 36 to move. When the inner slider 36 moves, the inner spring 310 on one side will store force and contract, and the inner spring 310 on the other side will store force and extend. As the inner slider 36 moves, the middle oil channel 392, the upper oil hole 391 and the lower oil hole 393 in the inner slider 36 will be in a straight line (as shown). Figure 13 As shown), at this time, the maintenance oil in the oil storage box 31 will enter the oil dripping pipe 38 through the upper oil hole 391, the middle oil channel 392, and the lower oil hole 393, and drip the maintenance oil into the brush part 294 through the oil dripping pipe 38. The brush part 294 will absorb the maintenance oil, and then the maintenance oil can be applied to the wire rope part 16 to complete the maintenance. Due to the structural characteristics of the one-fifth gear 32, the tooth structure of the one-fifth gear 32 is only a part. Therefore, during the rotation, it can only drive the horizontal rack 33 to move left and right intermittently. When the one-fifth gear 32 disengages from the horizontal rack 33, the springs on both sides of the inner slider 36 will release the stored force to pull the inner slider 36 back to its original position. Then the inner slider 36 will block the upper oil hole 391 and the lower oil hole 393 to form a blockage. At this time, the maintenance oil in the oil storage box 31 cannot leak out.

[0044] As the wire rope 16 is wound around the wheel 15, the rotation of the wheel 15 will cause the wire rope 16 wound around it to rotate. If the wire rope 16 is bent when it passes the detection component group 04, the detection wheel 411 will be lifted by the bent part when it passes the detection wheel 411. The lifted detection wheel 411 will pull the wheel frame 412, the slat frame 42 and the retaining ring 44 towards the transmission gear 25. The movement of the retaining ring 44 will engage with the transmission gear 25 through the internal gear ring, thereby locking the transmission gear 25 and preventing it from rotating. Since the transmission gear 25 is locked, the entire oiling component group 02 and the oil replenishing component group 03 will not be driven to work. At this time, the slat frame 42 will contact the contact sensor. The contact sensor will trigger a signal to be sent to the vehicle system, indicating that a bend in the wire rope has been detected and the window sway actuator component group 01 should no longer be used.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
