[0067] Figure 1 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a sliding door driving device 100 for an automobile according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the enlarged structure of part A. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the enlarged structure of part B.

[0068] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the vehicle sliding door driving device 100 of the present disclosure may include components such as a middle guide rail 110 , a roller bracket unit 120 , a driving assembly 130 , and a connecting plate 140 .

[0069] When the sliding door driving device 100 for a vehicle disclosed in the present invention is in use, the middle guide rail 110 can be fixed to the body of the vehicle. Specifically, the body includes a C-pillar and a D-pillar. Accordingly, in terms of the length direction of the middle guide rail 110, the middle guide rail 110 has a first portion 111 and a second portion 112, wherein the first portion 111 may be a curved portion, and the second portion 112 may be a straight portion; or in other words, the first portion 111 is a curve with a larger curvature, and the second portion 112 is a curve (or straight portion) with a smaller curvature. Specifically, one end of the first portion 111 is a free end, the other end of the first portion 111 is connected to one end of the second portion 112, and the other end of the second portion 112 is a free end, and one end (free end) of the first portion 111 is disposed close to the C-pillar of the vehicle body, and the other end (free end) of the second portion 112 is disposed close to the D-pillar of the vehicle body.

[0070] The roller bracket unit 120 of the present disclosure is configured to be able to slide along the middle rail 110; that is, the roller bracket unit 120 can slide from one end of the middle rail 110 to the other end of the middle rail 110. Specifically, when the sliding door driving device for a vehicle of the present disclosure is in use, a door of the vehicle can be directly or indirectly fixed to the roller bracket unit 120, so that the door can be driven and moved by the roller bracket unit 120, so that the door can close or open the passenger compartment.

[0071] Figure 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of a connecting plate according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of the use state of the sliding door driving device for an automobile according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0072] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in the present disclosure, the driving assembly 130 is used to drive the roller bracket unit 120 to slide along the middle guide rail 110 . Specifically, the driving assembly 130 drives the roller bracket unit 120 to move through the connecting plate 140 .

[0073] In a specific embodiment, the driving assembly 130 may include components such as a driving unit 131 , a driving cable 132 , a first driving connection portion 133 , and a second driving connection portion 134 .

[0074] The driving unit 131 may be a turntable driven by a motor, and the driving cable 132 may be wound around the turntable, so that when the motor drives the turntable to rotate, one end of the driving cable 132 is retracted and the other end is released accordingly.

[0075] More specifically, a first drive connection portion 133 is provided at one end of the drive cable 132, and a second drive connection portion 134 is provided at the other end of the drive cable 132. The first drive connection portion 133 and the second drive connection portion 134 may be plugs fixed to both ends of the drive cable 132. In other words, the first drive connection portion 133 and the second drive connection portion 134 may be formed as two ends of the drive cable 132.

[0076] The connecting plate 140 is arranged on the roller bracket unit 120, and at least a portion of the connecting plate 140 is located above the middle guide rail 110, and the first driving connection part 133 and the second driving connection part 134 of the driving assembly 130 are both connected to the portion of the connecting plate 140 located above the middle guide rail 110.

[0077] At this time, in one case, when the motor rotates along the first direction, a pulling force is applied to the second drive connection part 134, and accordingly, the second drive connection part 134 can drive the connecting plate 140 from a position close to one end of the middle guide rail 110 to a position close to the other end of the middle guide rail 110, and the door is opened; in the opposite working process, when the motor rotates along the second direction, a pulling force is applied to the first drive connection part 133, and accordingly, the first drive connection part 133 can drive the connecting plate 140 from a position close to the other end of the middle guide rail 110 to a position close to one end of the middle guide rail 110, and the door is closed.

[0078] At the same time, the driving assembly 130 may also include a tensioning device, which can tension the driving cable so that the vehicle door will not have any free movement margin.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, in the present disclosure, the connecting plate 140 may include a first connecting plate portion 141, a second connecting plate portion 142 and a third connecting plate portion 143; wherein the first connecting plate portion 141 is arranged approximately vertically, and, along the length direction of the middle guide rail 110, the first connecting plate portion 141 and the bracket portion 121 are staggered, so that the terminal position of the bracket portion 121 can be adjusted so that the vehicle door meets the position requirements of the door opening and closing operations.

[0080] The lower end of the first connecting plate portion 141 is connected to one end of the second connecting plate portion 142, and the second connecting plate portion 142 is horizontal or substantially horizontal. In a preferred embodiment, the second connecting plate portion 142 and the bracket portion 121 of the roller bracket unit 120 have an overlapping area, so that the second connecting plate portion 142 and the bracket portion 121 can be fixedly connected by fastening means such as anchors or screws, so that the connecting plate 140 and the roller bracket unit 120 are fixedly connected and move synchronously.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment, the first connecting plate portion 141 and the second connecting plate portion 142 may be connected with a rounded corner. In the present disclosure, the first connecting plate portion 141 is spaced apart from the middle guide rail 110 in the horizontal direction, so that the connecting plate 140 will not collide or rub against the middle guide rail 110 during movement.

[0082] The third connecting plate portion 143 is U-shaped and includes an upper arm portion 143A and a lower arm portion 143B, wherein the lower arm portion 143B is connected to the upper end of the first connecting plate portion 141. Preferably, the third connecting plate portion 143 can be connected to the first connecting plate portion 141 through a rounded corner portion, thereby the third connecting plate portion 143 of the present disclosure can be located above the middle guide rail 110 as a whole. In other words, along the height direction, there is a preset gap between the lower surface of the lower arm portion 143B of the third connecting plate portion 143 and the upper surface of the middle guide rail 110, so that the connecting plate 140 will not collide or rub against the middle guide rail 110.

[0083] Moreover, the upper arm portion 143A of the third part 143 of the connecting plate is located above the lower arm portion 143B, and two upper mounting holes are provided on the upper arm portion 143A, and two lower mounting holes are provided on the lower arm portion 143B. The upper mounting holes and the lower mounting holes are arranged correspondingly in the height direction, and an opening is formed on each upper mounting hole, and the size of the opening (that is, the width of the opening in the circumferential direction) is larger than the size of the drive cable 132 and smaller than the size of the first drive connection portion 133 or the second drive connection portion 134, thereby, the upper end of the first drive connection portion 133 is located in one of the upper mounting holes, and the lower end is located in one of the lower mounting holes, and the drive cable 132 is located between the upper arm portion 143A and the lower arm portion 143B. Similarly, the upper end of the second drive connection part 134 is located in another upper mounting hole, the lower end is located in another lower mounting hole, and the drive cable 132 is located between the upper arm 143A and the lower arm 143B, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the drive cable 132 and the connecting plate 140.

[0084] The positions of the various components will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0085] Specifically, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the present disclosure, the automobile sliding door driving device 100 may further include components such as a front pulley 150 and a rear pulley 160. The first driving connection portion 133 bypasses the front pulley 150 and is connected to the connecting plate 140, thereby changing the transmission direction of one end of the driving cable 132 through the front pulley 150. Correspondingly, the second driving connection portion 134 bypasses the rear pulley 160 and is connected to the connecting plate 140, thereby changing the transmission direction of the other end of the driving pull rod 132 through the rear pulley 160.

[0086] In the present disclosure, the front of the car is taken as the front, and the front pulley 150 is located in front of the rear pulley 160. Specifically, the front pulley 150 is arranged near the C-pillar of the car, preferably at the rear side of the C-pillar of the car. Therefore, compared with the prior art in which the front pulley 150 is located on the C-pillar of the car, the automobile sliding door driving device 100 of the present disclosure occupies less space in the car and has a high riding comfort.

[0087] In addition, the rear pulley 160 is arranged near the D-pillar of the car, and the drive unit 131 can be arranged in the interior panel between the C-pillar and the D-pillar, so that the rear pulley 160 and the drive unit 131 will not occupy the interior space of the car.

[0088] In the present disclosure, at least a portion of the front pulley 150 is located above the middle guide rail 110, whereby the drive cable 132 guided by the front pulley 150 is located above the middle guide rail 110; at least a portion of the rear pulley 160 is located above the middle guide rail 110, whereby the drive cable 132 guided by the rear pulley 160 is located above the middle guide rail 110.

[0089] In the present disclosure, the drive cable 132 guided by the front pulley 150 and the drive cable 132 guided by the rear pulley 150 can be located on the same horizontal plane, so that the drive cable 132 only has the force to pull the connecting plate 140, so that the drive assembly 130 has a higher driving efficiency.

[0090] Figure 7 is a schematic structural diagram of an auxiliary guide rail 170 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0091] like Figure 7 As shown, in the present disclosure, the sliding door drive device 100 for an automobile further includes: an auxiliary guide rail 170, at least a portion of which is located above the middle guide rail 110, wherein at least a portion of the drive cable 132 of the drive assembly 130 is capable of sliding contact with the auxiliary guide rail 170, thereby allowing the drive cable 132 to have a stable transmission path.

[0092] Specifically, the auxiliary guide rail 170 of the present invention is curved and has approximately the same curvature as the first portion 111, and the auxiliary guide rail 170 is disposed near the first portion 111. When the connecting plate 140 is located at one end of the middle guide rail 110, the driving cable 132 near the second driving connection portion 132 will contact the auxiliary guide rail 170 and be guided by the auxiliary guide rail 170, thereby making it easier for the second driving connection portion 132 to pull the connecting plate 140 to move.

[0093] On the other hand, when the connecting plate 140 leaves one end of the middle guide rail 110 and moves to a position close to the other end of the middle guide rail 110 , the driving cable 132 near the first driving connection part 133 will be guided by the auxiliary guide rail 170 and slide along the surface of the auxiliary guide rail 170 .

[0094] In a specific embodiment, the auxiliary guide rail 170 is U-shaped, and at least a portion of the connecting plate third portion 143 of the connecting plate 140 can be located in the space formed by the auxiliary guide rail 170. Accordingly, at least a portion of the driving cable 132 is also located in the space formed by the auxiliary guide rail 170.

[0095] In the automobile sliding door driving device disclosed in the present invention, since the front pulley 150, the rear pulley 160 and the driving cable 132 between the front pulley 150 and the rear pulley 160 are all located above the middle guide rail 110, there is no need to set a component for fixing the driving cable 132 on the roller bracket unit 120. Based on this, there is no avoidance structure for the component for fixing the driving cable 132 of the roller bracket unit 120 on the body of the automobile. Therefore, the automobile sliding door driving device disclosed in the present invention can be set as a hidden middle guide rail solution.

[0096] On the other hand, due to the existence of the connecting plate 140, and the front pulley 150, the rear pulley 160 and the driving cable 132 between the front pulley 150 and the rear pulley 160 are all located above the middle guide rail 110, that is, the sliding door driving device for an automobile disclosed in the present invention has a plurality of components arranged above the middle guide rail 110, and these components can be shielded by the side glass trim. At the same time, the side glass trim can also shield at least part of the middle guide rail, so that the side appearance of the vehicle body can be made into a hidden middle guide rail solution.
