[0012] As a result, when viewing the vehicle's side from a level perspective, when the sliding door is closed, the door opening cable is hidden by the guide rail. When the sliding door is open, the door closing cable is exposed outside the rubber strip but is obscured by the sliding door itself, thus not affecting the vehicle's appearance. Furthermore, a simple structure such as a pair of limiting ribs effectively guides the movement of the door closing cable along the rubber strip. Furthermore, the hinge is located outside the rubber strip in the vehicle's width direction, avoiding direct contact with the strip, thus preventing deformation and excessive wear. Furthermore, the rubber strip also serves as a cable stop for the door closing cable, reducing the number of parts.

[0013] In the above technical solution, preferably, the rubber strip has a fixed portion and an extension portion, a recess is formed in the fixed portion, the rubber strip is fixed to the baffle by inserting the baffle into the recess, the extension portion extends from the lower end of the fixed portion to abut against the vehicle body sheet metal, and the door closing cable moves along the outer side surface of the fixed portion.

[0014] As a result, the rubber strip can be installed on the baffle in a simple manner, and since the rubber strip extends to abut the body sheet metal, when observing the side of the vehicle from a straight-ahead perspective, there is no gap between the rubber strip and the guide rail, and the internal sheet metal structure cannot be observed, which can improve the aesthetics.

[0015] In the above technical solution, preferably, a guide bracket is provided in front of the rubber strip, the guide bracket is fixed under the guide rail, and an opening for the door closing pull wire to enter and exit is provided on the guide bracket. After passing through the opening, the door closing pull wire moves along the rubber strip.

[0016] Therefore, since the guide bracket is arranged in front of the rubber strip, the door closing cable that bypasses the front pulley seat can be effectively guided to the rubber strip, and the front end of the rubber strip is protected from being worn by the door closing cable.

[0017] In the above technical solution, preferably, the guide bracket is provided with a locking portion, and the guide rail is provided with a locked portion, and the guide bracket is fixed to the guide rail by locking the locking portion and the locked portion.

[0018] Thus, the guide bracket is fixed to the guide rail by a snap-fit ​​method, which is simple to operate and saves work time. In addition, the guide bracket can be installed on the pull wire and delivered together during delivery.

[0019] In the above technical solution, preferably, a recessed portion is provided at a portion of the guide bracket that contacts the door closing wire, and lubricating grease is stored in the recessed portion.

[0020] Therefore, by arranging the recessed portion on the guide bracket, lubricating grease can be added to the recessed portion during maintenance, which is convenient to operate and can reduce the wear of the rubber strip.

[0021] In the above technical solution, preferably, a storage space is formed below the sliding surface of the guide rail and between the baffle, and a portion of the front pulley seat is disposed in the storage space.

[0022] In this way, the space below the guide rail can be effectively utilized to configure the front pulley seat, and the front pulley can be brought closer to the guide bracket, thereby reducing the possibility of interference between the door closing cable and other components.

[0023] In the above technical solution, preferably, the hinge is further provided with a guide wheel, which guides the movement of the hinge along the guide rail, and the end of the door opening cable is arranged below the guide wheel in a coaxial manner with the guide wheel.

[0024] Therefore, the door opening wire end can be installed by utilizing the shaft of the guide wheel, and the structure is simple. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In other words, the sliding door 4 of this embodiment is supported on the side 2s of the vehicle body 2 via these guide rails and hinges. Furthermore, the hinges move relative to the guide rails in the direction in which the guide rails extend, thereby allowing the sliding door 4 of this embodiment to move in the vehicle longitudinal direction X while remaining along the side 2s of the vehicle body 2.

[0081] That is, the sliding door 4 of this embodiment is opened toward the front side of the vehicle ( Figure 1 The door opening 3 is fully closed by moving toward the rear of the vehicle (the right side in the figure) and fully opened to allow passengers of the vehicle 1 to board and disembark through the door opening 3. Furthermore, the vehicle 1 of this embodiment is provided with a sliding door drive mechanism 10 that opens and closes the sliding door 4 based on a driving force generated by an actuator driven by a motor 7.

[0082] The sliding door drive mechanism 10 of this embodiment is applied to the middle guide rail 12 (an example of the guide rail claimed in the present invention). Figures 2 to 9The sliding door driving mechanism 10 will be described in detail.

[0083] The sliding door driving mechanism 10 for driving the sliding door 4 to open and close includes a guide rail 12 , a hinge 22 , a door closing cable 8 , a door opening cable 9 and a motor 7 .

[0084] A front pulley seat 5 is provided in front of the guide rail 12.

For more details, see Figure 7 The extension portion 181 extends downward from the lower end of the fixing portion 180, slanting outward in the vehicle width direction Y, and ultimately abuts the upper surface of the body sheet metal 2a. Because the rubber strip 18 abuts the body sheet metal 2a in this manner, when viewed from the outside of the vehicle, there is no gap between the rubber strip 18 and the body sheet metal 2a due to the abutment, and the body sheet metal 2a on the inside of the vehicle is not exposed.

[0087] The rubber strip 18 is provided with a pair of limiting ribs 18a and 18b extending along its length. The door closing cable 8, described below, moves between the limiting ribs 18a and 18b along the rubber strip 18. Since the door closing cable 8 moves along the outer side of the fixing portion 180, the rubber strip 18 covers the fixing portion 180 in its length direction, corresponding to the entire travel of the door closing cable 8.

[0088] One end of the hinge 22 is connected to the sliding door 4. More specifically, one end of the hinge 22 is pivotally connected to the sliding door 4. A load-bearing wheel 24 is provided at the other end of the hinge 22, and a guide wheel 25 is provided at the hinge 22 to guide the movement of the hinge 22 along the guide rail 12.

[0090] In addition, a door opening pull wire terminal mounting component for mounting the door opening pull wire terminal 91 is provided on the hinge 22. The door opening pull wire terminal mounting component is, for example, an axis provided in a manner protruding from the hinge 22 (as described above, in this embodiment, the axis of the door opening pull wire terminal mounting component is coaxial with the axis 25s of the guide wheel 25). The door opening pull wire 9 is mounted on the door opening pull wire terminal 91, and the door opening pull wire terminal 91 is mounted on the door opening pull wire terminal mounting component and connected to the hinge 22.

[0091] The door closing wire end 81 is arranged in the vehicle up-down direction Z at a position where the door closing wire 8 moves along the baffle 16 when driven by the door closing wire 8, and the door opening wire end 91 is arranged in the vehicle up-down direction Z at a position where the door opening wire 9 slides in the space above the sliding surface 15 in the guide rail 12 when driven by the door opening wire 9.

[0092] Specifically, see Figure 7 One end of the hinge 22 extends to the outside of the guide rail cover 17 (which may also be a window glass) and is connected to the sliding door 4 via a connecting mechanism (not shown). A load-bearing wheel 24 is provided at the other end of the hinge 22, and a guide wheel 25 is provided above the load-bearing wheel 24. The guide wheel 25 slides in a guide groove in the guide rail 12, ensuring that the load-bearing wheel 24 slides along the sliding surface 15 without deviating from the guide rail 12.

[0093] The door opening wire 9 drives the door opening wire end 91 which is coaxially arranged below the guide wheel 25 to pull the hinge 22 to move, and the door opening wire 9 slides along the inner side surface of the guide rail 12 in the vehicle width direction Y.

[0094] The door closing cable 8 drives the door closing cable end 81 which is arranged below the load-bearing wheel 24 in the vehicle vertical direction Z and outside in the vehicle width direction Y to pull the hinge 22 to move, and the door closing cable 8 moves along the rubber strip 18.

[0095] See also Figure 4 、 8 A guide bracket 88 is provided in front of the rubber strip 18 and is fixed below the guide rail 12. An opening 88a is provided in the guide bracket 88 for the door closing cable 8 to enter and exit. After passing through the opening 88a, the door closing cable 8 moves along the rubber strip 18. Thus, the guide bracket 88 smoothly guides the door closing cable 8 to the moving surface between the limiting ribs 18a and 18b on the rubber strip 18.

[0096] The guide bracket 88 is provided with a locking portion 88b, and the guide rail 12 is provided with a locked portion 12b. The locking portion 88b and the locked portion 12b are locked to fix the guide bracket 88 to the guide rail 12.

[0097] A recessed portion 88c is provided at the portion of the guide bracket 88 that contacts the door closing cable 8, and lubricating grease is stored in the recessed portion 88c. Figure 4 The recessed portion 88 c is a structure that is recessed from the outside to the inside in the vehicle width direction Y. By storing lubricating grease in the recessed portion 88 c, the door closing cable 8 can be effectively lubricated.

[0098] See also Figure 9 A storage space S is formed below the sliding surface 15 of the guide rail 12 and between the baffle 16, and a portion of the front pulley seat 5 is arranged in the storage space S. In this embodiment, the storage space S is close to the opening 88a of the guide bracket 88, and the door closing cable 8 led out from the front pulley 51 can be directly introduced into the guide bracket 88 without interfering with other components, and then guided to the rubber strip 18 after further lubrication.

[0099] The door closing cable 8 is led out through the door closing cable sleeve 80 and is led to the front pulley 51 . After being guided by the front pulley 51 , it continues to pass through the guide bracket 88 and is connected to the door closing cable end 81 to be installed on the hinge 22 .

[0100] The door opening wire 9 is led out through the door opening wire sleeve 90 and is led to the rear pulley 61 . After being guided by the rear pulley 61 , it is connected to the door opening wire end 91 and is installed on the hinge 22 .

[0101] The motor 7 is connected to the door opening cable 9 and the door closing cable 8. The motor 7 drives the actuator, which drives the door closing cable 8 or the door opening cable 9, thereby driving the bearing wheel 24 of the hinge 22 connected to the door closing cable 8 and the door opening cable 9 to slide back and forth along the sliding surface 15 of the guide rail 12, thereby driving the sliding door 4 to open and close. Figure 6 2 shows the front and rear range in which the hinge 22 can move along the guide rail 12 .

[0102] When observing the side of the vehicle from a level perspective, when the sliding door 4 is closed, the door opening cable 9 is located in the guide rail 12 and is blocked by the guide rail cover 17. When the sliding door 4 is opened, the door closing cable 8 is exposed on the outside of the rubber strip 18, but will be blocked by the sliding door 4 itself, so the appearance of the vehicle is good.

[0103] In addition, since the door closing cable end 81 is located on the outside of the rubber strip 18 in the vehicle width direction Y, the door closing cable end 81 can be easily designed so that the door closing cable end 81 will not be in direct contact with the rubber strip 18 during movement, and will not cause deformation and excessive wear of the rubber strip 18.

[0105] For example, in the above embodiment, the sliding door driving mechanism is shown as being used in a vehicle, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the sliding door driving mechanism can be applied to any sliding door.

[0106] For example, in the above embodiment, the sliding door 4 that opens rearward is shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the sliding door 4 may also be a sliding door that opens forward.

[0107] For example, in the above embodiment, a recess 182 is formed in the fixing portion 180 of the rubber strip 18, and the baffle 16 is inserted into the recess 182 to fix the rubber strip 18 to the baffle 16. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The fixing portion 180 and the extending portion 181 of the rubber strip 18 may be a whole sheet-type rubber strip, and the fixing portion 180 may be bonded and fixed to the outer surface of the vehicle side of the baffle 16 by an adhesive.

[0108] For example, in the above embodiment, a structure is shown in which a locking portion 88b is provided on the guide bracket 88 and a locked portion 12b is provided on the guide rail 12, but the present invention is not limited to this. It can also be a structure in which a locked portion is provided on the guide bracket and a locking portion is provided on the guide rail.
