Detailed Implementation
[0009] Hereinafter, a window regulator according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. This window regulator is a lifting device installed inside a vehicle door (e.g., an automobile) to raise and lower the window glass of the vehicle door. In particular, this window regulator is a window regulator in which a detachment suppression structure is provided in the cable guide groove through which the descending side cable is guided to the outside of the support plate, preventing the descending side cable from detaching from the cable guide groove. Furthermore, hereafter, the direction of raising and lowering the vehicle window glass will be simply referred to as the raising and lowering direction. Additionally, hereafter, left and right, front and back, and up and down will be defined as shown in the figures. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the raising and lowering direction is assumed to be consistent with the up and down direction of the window regulator, and the vehicle width direction is assumed to be consistent with the front and back direction of the window regulator. Furthermore, the direction orthogonal to the raising and lowering direction and the vehicle width direction is defined as the left and right direction of the window regulator.
[0010] (The components of a car window regulator) like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the window regulator 1 is mounted on a vehicle door D and includes: a support plate 11 that supports the window glass G; a guide rail 12 that supports the support plate 11 and allows it to slide freely in the lifting direction; an upward cable 13 and a downward cable 14 that pull the support plate 11; a drive unit 15 disposed at the center of the guide rail 12 in the vertical direction to drive the upward cable 13 and the downward cable 14; a pulley 16 disposed at the upper end of the guide rail 12 via a pulley bracket 17 to change the direction of the upward cable 13; and a cable guide 18 disposed at the lower end of the guide rail 12 to change the direction of the downward cable 14. That is, this window regulator 1 is a cable-driven window regulator that uses cables 13 and 14 to lift and lower the support plate 11, and it is a banjo-type window regulator with the drive unit 15 disposed at the center of the guide rail 12 in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the rising side cable 13 and the falling side cable 14 are examples of cables. In addition, the rising side cable 13, the falling side cable 14, and the drive unit 15 are examples of a lifting means that causes the pallet 11 to rise and fall along the guide rail 12.
[0011] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the window adjuster 1 includes: an upward sliding bushing 21 fixed to the end of the upward cable 13 on the support plate 11 side; an upward spring 22 that applies tension to the upward cable 13 via the upward sliding bushing 21; a downward sliding bushing 23 fixed to the end of the downward cable 14 on the support plate 11 side; and a downward spring 24 that applies tension to the downward cable 14 via the downward sliding bushing 23. The upward sliding bushing 21 and the downward sliding bushing 23 are an example of a cable fixing member.
[0012] like Figure 1As shown, the guide rail 12 is formed by bending a long, plate-shaped metal plate outwards from the carriage with a predetermined curvature, and is configured to tilt towards the rearward side relative to the vehicle door D in the forward-reverse direction. Additionally, as... Figure 2 As shown, the guide rail 12 integrally comprises: a plate-shaped base 31 having a width in the left-right direction and extending in the lifting direction; a right side plate and a left side plate (not shown) which are erected at both ends in the width direction of the base 31; a right flange 32 which is formed to extend to the right from the front end of the right side plate; and a left flange 33 which is formed to extend to the left from the front end of the left side plate.
[0013] One end of the ascending cable 13 is connected to the rotating drum of the drive unit 15 (not shown). The ascending cable 13 is released from the drive unit 15 to the upper right and reaches the pulley 16. After the direction is reversed by the pulley 16 to the downward, the other end is fitted into the ascending sliding bushing 21 in the tray 11. On the other hand, one end of the descending cable 14 is connected to the rotating drum of the drive unit 15. The descending cable 14 is released from the drive unit 15 to the lower right and reaches the cable guide 18. After the direction is reversed by the cable guide 18 to the upward, the other end is fitted into the descending sliding bushing 23 in the tray 11.
[0014] The drive unit 15 is mounted in the middle of the guide rail 12 in the vertical direction and includes a drive motor, a reducer, and a rotating drum, driving the ascending cable 13 and the descending cable 14. Specifically, when the drive motor of the drive unit 15 is driven in a forward direction, the rotating drum rotates forward, and simultaneously, the descending cable 14 is released from the rotating drum and the ascending cable 13 is wound onto the rotating drum. As a result, the support plate 11 is pulled upward in the lifting direction by the ascending cable 13. As a result, the window glass G mounted on the support plate 11 rises. On the other hand, when the drive motor of the drive unit 15 is driven in a reverse direction, the rotating drum reverses, and simultaneously, the ascending cable 13 is released from the rotating drum and the descending cable 14 is wound onto the rotating drum. As a result, the support plate 11 is pulled downward in the lifting direction by the descending cable 14. As a result, the window glass G mounted on the support plate 11 descends. In this way, the tray 11 and the window glass G are raised and lowered along the guide rail 12 (the raising and lowering action of the window glass G).
[0015] (The composition of the pallet) Next, refer to Figures 3 to 8 The pallet 11 will be described below. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the pallet 11 is formed from a resin and metal plate integrally molded by insert molding, and has: a plate-shaped main body 41; two mounting holes 42, 42 formed at the left and right ends of the main body 41; a rail mounting part 43 formed at the center-right of the main body 41; a descending side receiving part 44 formed on the left side of the rail mounting part 43, which receives the descending side sliding bushing 23 and the descending side spring 24; a descending side cable outlet part 45 formed on the lower side of the descending side receiving part 44, which receives the descending side cable 14; an ascending side receiving part 46 formed on the left side of the descending side cable outlet part 45, which receives the ascending side sliding bushing 21 and the ascending side spring 22; and an ascending side cable outlet part 47 formed on the upper side of the ascending side receiving part 46, which receives the ascending side cable 13. The descending side receiving part 44 and the ascending side receiving part 46 are examples of receiving parts.
[0016] The mounting holes 42, 42 are used to fasten the glass retainer (not shown) fixed to the window glass G with bolts. By fastening the glass retainer to the mounting holes 42, 42 with bolts, the window glass G is mounted to the support plate 11 via the glass retainer.
[0017] The rail assembly part 43 includes: a pair of upper and lower side plate sliding portions 51 and 52, formed at the upper and lower ends of the back side of the main body part 41, which slide on the right side plate portion of the guide rail 12; a rectangular opening 53, which is formed by opening between the pair of side plate sliding portions 51 and 52 in the main body part 41; and a plurality of sliding fins 54, 54, 54, disposed on the rectangular opening 53, which slide on the right flange portion 32 of the guide rail 12. The support plate 11 is supported by the rail assembly part 43 and can be raised and lowered freely relative to the guide rail 12.
[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, the rising-side receiving portion 46 is formed as an octagonal prism-shaped hollow portion with a bottom hole on the upper side, and has an inner surface and a bottom surface. The rising-side receiving portion 46 houses the rising-side sliding bushing 21 within this hollow portion, allowing it to move freely in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the rising-side receiving portion 46 houses the rising-side spring 22 in a compressed state between the flange of the rising-side sliding bushing 21 and the bottom surface. Within the rising-side receiving portion 46, the rising-side spring 22, supported by the bottom surface, presses the rising-side sliding bushing 21 downwards, thereby applying tension to the rising-side cable 13 via the rising-side sliding bushing 21.
[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, the rising side cable outlet 47 is formed in the shape of a groove with the rear side open, extending upward from the bottom surface of the rising side receiving section 46. The rising side cable 13 connected to the rising side sliding bushing 21 is pulled upward from the rising side receiving section 46 by the rising side cable outlet 47 and is led out to the outside of the tray 11.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the descending-side receiving portion 44 is formed as an octagonal prism-shaped hollow portion with a bottom hole on the lower side, having an inner surface and a bottom surface. The descending-side receiving portion 44 houses the descending-side sliding bushing 23 within this hollow portion, allowing it to move freely in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the descending-side receiving portion 44 houses the descending-side spring 24 in a compressed state between the flange of the descending-side sliding bushing 23 and the bottom surface. Within the descending-side receiving portion 44, the descending-side spring 24, supported by the bottom surface, presses the descending-side sliding bushing 23 upwards, thereby applying tension to the descending-side cable 14 via the descending-side sliding bushing 23.
[0021] (The structure of the cable exit section on the descent side) like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the descending-side cable guide portion 45 includes: a cable guide groove 61 forming a cable guide path R; a first claw portion 62 protruding from the left inner edge of the cable guide groove 61 at a midpoint of the cable guide path R; a second claw portion 63 protruding from the right inner edge of the cable guide groove 61 at an end point of the cable guide path R; and a limiting protrusion 64 protruding from the left side wall of the cable guide groove 61 near the end point of the cable guide path R. The first claw portion 62 and the second claw portion 63 are examples of protrusions.
[0022] like Figure 5 As shown, the cable guide slot 61 forms an arched cable guide path R that curves to the right as its top, serving as the path for guiding the descending-side cable 14 from the descending-side receiving portion 44 to the outside of the tray 11 (below the tray 11). Specifically, the cable guide path R extends downward from the descending-side receiving portion 44, then curves to the lower right, then bends to the lower left in a folding-back manner, and finally bends downward. Hereinafter, the portion bending to the lower right is referred to as the first bend R1, the portion bending to the lower left in a folding-back manner is referred to as the second bend R2, and the portion bending downward is referred to as the third bend R3. Furthermore, the first bend R1, the second bend R2, and the third bend R3 are examples of bends.
[0023] In addition, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the cable guide channel 61 is formed in the shape of a channel with its rear side open, and is provided along the cable guide path R from the bottom surface of the descending receiving portion 44. Furthermore, the cable guide channel 61 has an increased channel width at the positions of the first bend R1 and the third bend R3. Moreover, at the position of the second bend R2, the cable guide channel 61 is positioned facing the rectangular opening 53, and the bottom and right side wall of the channel are omitted. Furthermore, the left side wall of the cable guide channel 61 is omitted at the end of the cable guide path R.
[0024] Furthermore, at the right inner edge (upper end of the right side wall) of the first bend R1, the left inner edge (upper end of the left side wall) of the lower half of the second bend R2, and the right inner edge (upper end of the right side wall) of the third bend R3 in the cable guide groove 61, inclined surfaces 61a, 61a, 61a are formed that slope downward toward the front (bottom side of the groove of the cable guide groove 61) in the groove width direction of the cable guide groove 61. Using these inclined surfaces, the descending side cable 14 can be easily guided into the cable guide groove 61 at the positions of the first bend R1, the second bend R2, and the third bend R3.
[0025] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the first claw portion 62 is disposed at the position of the second bend R2, spanning the cable guide path R, and protrudes inward from the left inner edge (upper end of the left side wall) of the cable guide groove 61 in the groove width direction on the opening side of the cable guide groove 61. Furthermore, the front surface 62a of the first claw portion 62 is a locking surface that locks the descending cable 14 from the rear side. This front surface 62a contacts the rear side of the descending cable 14 inserted into the cable guide groove 61, locking the descending cable 14 in the front-rear direction. Thus, at the position of the second bend R2, the descending cable 14 is prevented from disengaging from the cable guide groove 61 rearward (near the front side in the groove depth direction of the cable guide groove 61).
[0026] Furthermore, at the upper end of the rear surface of the first claw portion 62 (the surface near the front side in the groove depth direction of the cable guide groove 61), an induction ramp 62b is formed that slopes downward toward the top side (groove width direction) of the first claw portion 62 and forward (groove bottom side of the cable guide groove 61). When the descending cable 14 is introduced into the cable guide groove 61, the descending cable 14 contacts the induction ramp 62b, thereby guiding the descending cable 14 to the top side of the first claw portion 62, bypassing the first claw portion 62, and being introduced into the cable guide groove 61.
[0027] Furthermore, at the upper end of the front surface of the first claw 62, a slope 62c is formed that slopes upward toward the base end side of the first claw 62. Using this slope 62c, the descending side cable 14, which is guided by the guiding slope 62b to the top side of the first claw 62, can be easily moved to the cable output path R located on the base side of the first claw 62.
[0028] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8As shown, the second claw portion 63 is disposed at the end of the cable output path R, spanning the cable output path R, and protrudes from the right inner edge (upper end of the right side wall) of the cable output groove 61 in the groove width direction (leftward direction) on the opening side of the cable output groove 61. Furthermore, the front surface 63a of the second claw portion 63 is a locking surface that locks the descending cable 14 from the rear. This front surface 63a contacts the rear side of the descending cable 14 inserted into the cable output groove 61, locking the descending cable 14 in the front-rear direction. Thus, at the end of the cable output groove 61, the descending cable 14 is prevented from detaching from the cable output groove 61 rearward (near the front side in the groove depth direction of the cable output groove 61).
[0029] Furthermore, a guiding slope 63b is formed on the entire area of the rear surface of the second claw portion 63 (the surface near the front side in the groove depth direction of the cable guide groove 61), which slopes downward toward the top side of the second claw portion 63 (in the groove width direction) and forward (towards the bottom side of the groove of the cable guide groove 61). When the descending cable 14 is introduced into the cable guide groove 61, the descending cable 14 contacts the guiding slope 63b, thereby guiding the descending cable 14 to the top side of the second claw portion 63, bypassing the second claw portion 63, and being introduced into the cable guide groove 61.
[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a limiting protrusion 64 is formed protruding to the right from the left side wall of the cable guide groove 61 near the end of the cable guide groove 61, contacting the left side of the descending cable 14 and limiting the leftward movement of the descending cable 14. By using this limiting protrusion 64 to restrict the movement of the descending cable 14 inserted into the cable guide groove 61 toward the top of the second claw 63, the descending cable 14 inserted into the cable guide groove 61 is prevented from bypassing the top side of the second claw 63 and exiting the cable guide groove 61. In particular, in the state before tension is applied to the descending cable 14 during the assembly of the window adjuster 1, the descending cable 14 is prevented from bypassing the top side of the second claw 63 and exiting the cable guide groove 61.
[0031] (Instructions for assembling the descent cable) Here, refer to Figures 9 to 11 The assembly operation of the descending side cable 14 on the opposing support plate 11 will be described. This descending side cable assembly operation is performed by housing the descending side sliding bushing 23 and the descending side spring 24 into the descending side housing part 44 and guiding the descending side cable 14 into the cable outlet slot 61.
[0032] In the assembly of the descending side cable, firstly, as Figure 9As shown in (b), the lowering-side sliding bushing 23 and the lowering-side spring 24 are housed in the lowering-side housing 44. After the lowering-side sliding bushing 23 and the lowering-side spring 24 are housed in the lowering-side housing 44, as... Figure 10 As shown in (a), in the first bend R1, the descending side cable 14 is wound along the right side wall of the cable guide groove 61, and then as shown in (a). Figure 10 As shown in (b), the top side of the descending cable 14 is held, and the descending cable 14 is pulled downwards and to the right while pressing it against the cable guide slot 61, thereby guiding the descending cable 14 into the cable guide slot 61. At this time, the descending cable 14 contacts the guiding ramp 62b of the first claw 62, thereby guiding the descending cable 14 to the top side of the first claw 62, bypassing the first claw 62 and being guided into the cable guide slot 61. Thus, the descending cable 14 is guided under the first claw 62, at the position of the second bend R2, and the detachment of the descending cable 14 from the cable guide slot 61 is suppressed.
[0033] Then, as Figure 11 As shown in (a), in the second bend R2, the descending side cable 14 is wound along the left side wall of the cable guide groove 61, and in the third bend R3, the descending side cable 14 is wound along the right side wall of the cable guide groove 61, and then as shown in (a). Figure 11 As shown in (b), the top side of the descending cable 14 is held, and the descending cable 14 is pulled downwards while pressing it against the cable guide slot 61, thereby guiding the descending cable 14 into the cable guide slot 61. At this time, the descending cable 14 contacts the guiding inclined surface 63b of the second claw 63, thereby guiding the descending cable 14 to the top side of the second claw 63, bypassing the second claw 63 and being guided into the cable guide slot 61. Thus, the descending cable 14 is guided under the second claw 63, and at the end of the cable guide path R, the detachment of the descending cable 14 from the cable guide slot 61 is suppressed. Thus, the descending cable assembly operation ends.
[0034] (The role and effects of the implementation method) According to the above-described embodiment, by providing claws 62 and 63 protruding from the inner edge of the cable guide groove 61, the descending side cable 14 inserted into the cable guide groove 61 is stopped in the front-to-back direction (groove depth direction) by means of the claws 62 and 63. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the descending side cable 14 inserted into the cable guide groove 61 from coming out of the cable guide groove 61. In particular, in the state before tension is applied to the descending side cable 14 during the assembly of the window regulator 1, it is possible to suppress the descending side cable 14 inserted into the cable guide groove 61 from coming out of the cable guide groove 61. Therefore, the assembly operation of the window regulator 1 can be performed easily. In addition, by providing a second claw 63 at the end position of the cable guide path R (the end position of the cable guide groove 61), it is possible to prevent the descending side cable 14 inserted into the cable guide groove 61 from coming out of the cable guide groove 61 during the raising and lowering operation of the window glass G. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of malfunctions in the raising and lowering operation caused by the descending side cable 14 coming out of the cable guide groove 61.
[0035] Furthermore, by employing a cable guide groove 61 that forms a curved cable guide path R, sliding resistance is generated between the cable guide groove 61 and the descending cable 14 at the curved portions R1, R2, and R3. Therefore, the sliding resistance between the cable guide groove 61 and the descending cable 14 can be appropriately increased. This helps to suppress the shaking (abnormal vibration) of the window glass G during its raising and lowering operation. Moreover, to suppress the shaking of the window glass G, it is preferable that the sliding resistance value between the cable guide groove 61 and the descending cable 14 is 3.1 N or more. That is, in this embodiment, the cable guide groove 61 is configured such that the sliding resistance value between it and the descending cable 14 is 3.1 N or more during the raising and lowering operation of the window glass G.
[0036] Furthermore, in the configuration of the cable guide groove 61 that forms a curved cable guide path R, by providing a second claw 63 at the end of the cable guide path R, the lowering side cable 14 introduced into the cable guide groove 61 can be prevented from coming off the cable guide groove 61 during the lifting and lowering of the window glass G. Therefore, the situation where the cable 14 comes off the cable guide groove 61 during the lifting and lowering of the window glass G can be avoided as much as possible, and the vibration suppression effect caused by the sliding between the cable guide groove 61 and the lowering side cable 14 can be suppressed. During the lifting and lowering of the window glass G, vibration can be suppressed.
[0037] In addition, by forming an inclined surface 61a at the inner edge of the bends R1, R2, and R3 in the cable outlet groove 61, the descending side cable 14 can be easily introduced into the cable outlet groove 61 at the bends R1, R2, and R3.
[0038] In addition, by providing guiding ramps 62b and 63b on the rear surfaces of the claws 62 and 63, the descending side cable 14 can be easily guided under the claws 62 and 63.
[0039] (Regarding other implementation methods) The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but these embodiments do not limit the invention as defined in the claims. Furthermore, it should be noted that not all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are essential for solving the problems of the invention. The present invention can be implemented with appropriate modifications without departing from its spirit.
[0040] For example, in the above embodiment, it is configured to have a first claw portion 62 and a second claw portion 63, but it may also be configured to have only one of the first claw portion 62 and the second claw portion 63. Alternatively, it may be configured to have claw portions 62 and 63 positioned at the positions of the first curved portion R1 and the third curved portion R3.
[0041] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the cable guide groove 61 is configured to form a curved cable guide path R, but it can also be configured to form a straight cable guide path R. That is, the present invention can also be applied to the descending side cable guide portion 45 of the cable guide groove 61 that forms a straight cable guide path R.
[0042] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to the descending side cable outlet 45, but the present invention can also be applied to the ascending side cable outlet 47. That is, the ascending side cable outlet 47 may also have a configuration with claw portions 62 and 63.
[0043] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a banjo-type window regulator 1 in which the drive unit 15 is disposed at the center of the guide rail 12 in the vertical direction, but it is not limited thereto; any cable-driven window regulator is acceptable. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a lower end rail type window regulator in which the drive unit 15 is disposed at the lower end of the guide rail 12, or to a window regulator (such as a delta type window regulator) in which the drive unit 15 is directly fixed to the door panel of the vehicle door D.
[0044] (Summary of implementation methods) Next, the technical ideas grasped from the embodiments described above will be described using the reference numerals in the embodiments. However, the reference numerals in the following description are not intended to limit the constituent elements in the claims to the components specifically shown in the embodiments.
