DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012] (Window regulator overview) A window regulator 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is mounted on, for example, a door of a vehicle, etc. The window regulator 100 transmits a driving force to a carrier plate via a cable by winding and unwinding a cable, thereby moving a window glass (window) attached to the carrier plate.
[0013] Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of a window regulator 100. Fig. 1 shows an example in which the window regulator 100 is attached to a back door of a vehicle, i.e., an inner panel of a door provided on the rear surface of the vehicle. That is, Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the window regulator 100 attached to the back door as viewed from the rear of the vehicle. In the following description, the directions shown in Fig. 1 will be used for explanation.
[0014] The up-down direction and the left-right direction shown in Fig. 1 correspond to the up-down direction and the left-right direction based on the vehicle on which the window regulator 100 is attached to the back door. The front direction of the paper in Fig. 1 corresponds to the rear direction of the vehicle, and the back direction of the paper in Fig. 1 corresponds to the front direction of the vehicle.
[0015] However, the directions shown in FIG. 1 are merely examples, and the window regulator of the present disclosure does not necessarily have to be installed in accordance with the directions exemplified in FIG.
[0016] 1, the window regulator 100 includes two guide rails 10, four pulley brackets 20, a cable 30, a drive unit 40, and two carrier plates 50. However, the window regulator 100 shown in FIG 1 is just one example, and the window regulator of the present disclosure may be, for example, a window regulator including one guide rail, two direction changing members, a cable, a drive unit, and one carrier plate, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a window regulator in which the carrier plate is moved by the drive unit via the cable.
[0017] (Configuration of guide rail 10) The two guide rails 10 each extend in the moving direction of the window glass and are disposed approximately parallel to each other. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the extending direction of the guide rails 10 and the moving direction of the window glass are different from the up-down direction in Fig. 1, but in the present disclosure, the moving direction of the window glass may coincide with the up-down direction of the window regulator. The guide rails 10 movably support the carrier plate 50 and guide the movement of the carrier plate 50. The guide rails 10 are an example of a guide member of the present disclosure.
[0018] (Configuration of pulley bracket 20) The pulley bracket 20 is a member that supports a rotation shaft of a pulley that changes the moving direction of the cable 30, and the pulley is rotatably supported on the rotation shaft. The pulley is one aspect of a direction changing member that changes the moving direction of the cable 30. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the pulley brackets 20 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the two guide rails 10, respectively.
[0019] (Cable 30 configuration) The cable 30, which is a power transmission member, is a member for transmitting the driving force of the drive unit 40 to the carrier plate 50. The cable 30 is, for example, a flexible wire formed by twisting together metal wires, resin fiber wires, etc. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the cable 30 is composed of three cables 30a, 30b, and 30c.
[0020] One end of the cable 30a is connected to the drive unit 40. The cable 30a extends from the drive unit 40 toward the pulley bracket 20 provided at the upper end of the left guide rail 10, and further extends toward the right carrier plate 50 engaged with the guide rail 10. The other end of the cable 30a is connected to the carrier plate 50.
[0021] One end of the cable 30b is connected to a carrier plate 50 provided on the left guide rail 10. The cable 30b extends from the carrier plate 50 toward a pulley bracket 20 provided at the lower end of the guide rail 10. The cable 30b further extends from the pulley bracket 20 toward a pulley bracket 20 provided at the upper end of the right guide rail 10. The other end of the cable 30b is connected to the carrier plate 50 provided on the guide rail 10.
[0022] One end of the cable 30c is connected to the drive unit 40. The cable 30c extends from the drive unit 40 toward the pulley bracket 20 provided at the lower end of the right guide rail 10, and further extends toward the right carrier plate 50 engaged with the guide rail 10. The other end of the cable 30c is connected to the right carrier plate 50.
[0023] In the example shown in FIG. 1, the entire cable 30, from the drive unit 40 to the pulley brackets 20 provided on the left and right guide rails 10, is covered with an outer casing 31 for protecting the cable 30.
[0024] (Configuration of driving unit 40) The drive unit 40 is a device that moves the carrier plate 50 by winding and unwinding the cable 30 .
[0025] The driving unit 40 includes, for example, a drum around which the cable 30 is wound, a drum housing in which the drum is housed, a motor, and a power transmission unit such as a worm gear that transmits the rotation of the motor to the drum. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the driving unit 40 is fixed to the right-side guide rail 10.
[0026] When the motor rotates in the forward direction, the rotational motion of the motor is transmitted to the drum via the power transmission unit, causing the drum to rotate in the forward direction. In this case, the cable 30a is wound on the drum, and the cable 30c is unwound from the drum. As a result, the two carrier plates 50 rise along the two guide rails 10, respectively.
[0027] On the other hand, when the motor rotates in the reverse direction, the drum rotates in the reverse direction. In this case, the cable 30c is wound on the drum and the cable 30a is unwound from the drum. As a result, the two carrier plates 50 descend along the two guide rails 10, respectively.
[0028] (Configuration of carrier plate 50) The carrier plate 50 is a member that holds the window glass and moves up and down together with the window glass on the guide rail 10. Note that the window glass is not shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 1 shows a state in which the carrier plate 50 is located near the center of the guide rail 10 in the longitudinal direction.
[0029] The carrier plate 50 includes a plurality of exhaust structures for exhausting liquid entering from the outside when the vehicle is placed in an environment exposed to liquid such as water, such as a rainy environment, after the window regulator 100 is attached to the door of the vehicle. The plurality of exhaust structures included in the carrier plate 50 are arranged on the carrier plate 50 so as to prevent liquid from entering gaps between the plurality of exhaust structures. The structure of the carrier plate 50 including the plurality of exhaust structures according to the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.
[0030] 2 and 3 are diagrams for explaining a first surface 51 and a second surface 52, respectively, of the carrier plate 50. The first surface 51 shown in Fig. 2 is the surface on the outer side of the carrier plate in Fig. 1, and the second surface 52 shown in Fig. 3 is the surface on the inner side in Fig. 1.
[0031] 2 and 3, similarly to FIG. 1, the first surface 51 or the second surface 52 is shown to be substantially parallel to the up-down direction and the left-right direction when the window regulator 100 is attached to the vehicle.
[0032] FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the first surface 51 side of the carrier plate 50 as viewed obliquely from above.
[0033] Figures 2 to 4 show the structure of the left carrier plate 50 in the window regulator 100 shown in Figure 1. In the example shown in Figure 1, the structure of the right carrier plate 50 in the window regulator 100 is formed symmetrically to the structure of the left carrier plate 50 illustrated in Figures 2 to 4. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this example, and when the window regulator of the present disclosure includes multiple carrier plates, each carrier plate may have the same structure.
[0034] In the example shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the carrier plate 50 has a main body portion 53, a first attachment portion 54, a second attachment portion 55, and a support member 56.
[0035] The main body portion 53 is a portion that constitutes the main body of the carrier plate 50. The main body portion 53 is formed of, for example, a metal member. A first attachment portion 54, a second attachment portion 55, and a support member 56 are attached to the main body portion 53 from the first surface 51 side.
[0036] The first attachment portion 54 and the second attachment portion 55 are members formed of, for example, resin. At least a part of the discharge structure of the carrier plate 50 is formed in the first attachment portion 54 and the second attachment portion 55.
[0037] The first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 are each formed with a convex structure (such as a protrusion) for mounting to the main body portion 53. Meanwhile, the main body portion 53 is formed with a concave structure (such as a hole) for fixing the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 to the main body portion 53 together with the convex structure. The first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 are attached and fixed to the main body portion 53 by fitting the structures formed in the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 into holes formed in the main body portion 53.
[0038] The support member 56 is a member for supporting the window glass. The support member 56 has a base structure for supporting the window glass. In this embodiment, the support member 56 is made of resin or the like.
[0039] In this way, the first mounting portion 54, the second mounting portion 55, and the support member 56 are formed using resin and attached to the main body portion 53 formed from metal, thereby making it possible to reduce the weight of the entire carrier plate 50 compared to when the entire carrier plate 50 is formed from metal. In addition, the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 are formed with various protrusions such as an ejection structure described later, but by forming the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 separately from the main body portion 53, the forming process becomes easier compared to when the entire carrier plate 50 is integrally formed. In addition, it is possible to prevent cracks in the resin that may occur when the first ejection structure 61 and the second ejection structure 62, which have complex shapes, are integrally formed.
[0040] The carrier plate 50 also includes a first ejection structure 61 and a second ejection structure 62 .
[0041] The first exhaust structure 61 is a structure for exhausting liquid that has entered from above to a first side. The first side is the left side of the vehicle in the example shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. Accordingly, the first exhaust structure 61 is disposed to the left of the second exhaust structure 62.
[0042] The first discharge structure 61 is a plate-like structure that protrudes a predetermined width from the first mounting portion 54 attached to the main body portion 53 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface that constitutes the main body portion 53. The plate-like structure of the first discharge structure 61 includes a plurality of curved portions.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 2, the plate-like structure of the first ejection structure 61 includes a first upper end portion 611, a first curved portion 612, a first guiding portion 613, and a first ejection portion 614.
[0044] The first upper end 611 is a structure provided near the upper end and right end of the first discharge structure 61. The first upper end 611 is disposed apart from a second upper end 621 (described in detail later) of the second discharge structure 62 in the up-down direction, and overlaps with each other such that the second upper end 621 is on the bottom in the falling direction of the liquid.
[0045] A first curved portion 612 curved toward the falling direction (i.e., downward) is provided at the right end of the first upper end portion 611. The first curved portion 612 is curved in such a direction that, of the liquid that has infiltrated from above and hits the first exhaust structure 61, a portion of the liquid that falls from the first upper end portion 611 falls downward rather than to the right.
[0046] The first guide portion 613 is a structure for guiding most of the liquid that has entered from above and hits the first exhaust structure 61 to the left side. The first guide portion 613 has a structure that slopes downward as it approaches the left side. The first guide portion 613 is also formed to have a steeper slope than the other structures included in the first exhaust structure 61. This allows the first guide portion 613 to suitably guide the liquid to the left side.
[0047] The first discharge portion 614 is a structure formed at the left end of the first discharge structure 61. The first discharge portion 614 discharges the liquid guided by the first guide portion 613 to the left. For this reason, the first discharge portion 614 is inclined downward toward the left side like the first guide portion 613, but is formed so that the inclination is gentler than that of the first guide portion 613. As a result, the liquid is forcefully discharged to the left side from the first discharge portion 614. For this reason, the liquid discharged from the first discharge portion 614 is discharged to the left side of the entire window regulator 100, for example, inside the door of the vehicle. This makes it difficult for the liquid to reach at least one of the components of the window regulator 100 arranged below the first discharge structure 61, such as the guide rail 10 and the cable 30.
[0048] The second exhaust structure 62 is a structure for exhausting liquid that has entered from above to a second side opposite to the first side. The second side is the right side of the vehicle in the example shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. Accordingly, the second exhaust structure 62 is disposed to the right of the first exhaust structure 61.
[0049] The second exhaust structure 62 is a plate-shaped structure protruding from the second mounting portion 55 attached to the main body portion 53 by a predetermined width in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface constituting the main body portion 53. The plate-shaped structure of the second exhaust structure 62 includes a plurality of bent portions. The width of the plate-shaped structure of the second exhaust structure 62 protruding from the first mounting portion 54 may be the same as or different from the width of the plate-shaped structure of the first exhaust structure 61 protruding from the second mounting portion 55, for example. As described later, a part of the second exhaust structure 62 is disposed below a part of the first exhaust structure 61. From the viewpoint of preventing liquid that has entered from above from being directed toward the structure of the window regulator 100 disposed below the second exhaust structure 62, it is more desirable that the width of the second exhaust structure 62 is formed wider than the width of the first exhaust structure 61.
[0050] As shown in FIG. 2, the plate-like structure of the second discharge structure 62 includes a second upper end portion 621, a second curved portion 622, a second guide portion 623, a flat portion 624, a third guide portion 625, and a second discharge portion 626.
[0051] The second upper end portion 621 is a structure provided near the upper end and left end portion of the second discharge structure 62. As described above, the second upper end portion 621 is disposed apart from the first upper end portion 611 in the up-down direction, and overlaps with the first upper end portion 611 such that the second upper end portion 621 is on the bottom in the falling direction of the liquid.
[0052] A second curved portion 622 curved in the opposite direction to the falling direction (i.e., upward) is provided at the left end of the second upper end portion 621. Since the first upper end portion 611 and the second upper end portion 621 overlap each other in the falling direction of the liquid, and the second curved portion 622 curved upward is provided, the liquid that has fallen from the first upper end portion 611 (first curved portion 612) of the first discharge structure 61 does not penetrate to the left of the second upper end portion 621.
[0053] The second guide portion 623 and the third guide portion 625 are structures for guiding, to the right, the liquid that has entered from above and directly hits the second discharge structure 62 and the liquid that has fallen from the first discharge structure 61. The second guide portion 623 and the third guide portion 625 have a structure that slopes downward toward the right. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the third guide portion 625 is formed to have a steeper slope than the second guide portion 623.
[0054] A flat portion 624 is provided on the right side of the second guide portion 623 between the second guide portion 623 and the third guide portion 625. The flat portion 624 is a portion that is more gently inclined than the second guide portion 623 and the third guide portion 625. In the example shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the flat portion 624 is hardly inclined when the window regulator 100 is attached to the vehicle. Note that the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the flat portion 624 may be inclined slightly downward toward the right side as long as the inclination is more gentle than the second guide portion 623 and the third guide portion 625 described later.
[0055] Flat portion 624 is a structure for collecting minute droplets of the liquid that has infiltrated from above second discharge structure 62, gathering them into droplets of a certain size or larger, and allowing them to flow to the right. For example, if the liquid that has infiltrated from above window regulator 100 is minute droplets, the droplets may not gather together and may stick to the inclined surfaces of second guide portion 623 and third guide portion 625 due to intermolecular forces or the like, preventing them from flowing to the right.
[0056] Flat portion 624 is purposely formed to have a gentle slope, so that minute droplets can be gathered together to form droplets larger than a certain degree. When the large droplets generated by flat portion 624 reach third guide portion 625, which is disposed to the right of flat portion 624 and has a steep slope, they tend to flow to the right along the slope of second guide portion 623, rather than remaining as minute droplets. This allows second discharge structure 62 to improve its overall efficiency in discharging droplets to the right.
[0057] The flat portion 624 is formed so as to overlap with a lightening portion 551 of the second mounting portion 55 constituting the carrier plate 50. The lightening portion 551 is a portion formed so that the resin forming the second mounting portion 55 is thinner than other portions. By forming the flat portion 624 so as to overlap with the lightening portion 551, it is possible to reduce a decrease in strength of the second mounting portion 55 at the lightening portion 551.
[0058] The second discharge portion 626 is a structure formed at the right end of the second discharge structure 62. The second discharge portion 626 discharges the liquid guided by the third guide portion 625 to the right. For this reason, the second discharge portion 626 is inclined downward toward the right side like the second guide portion 623 and the third guide portion 625, but is formed so that the inclination is gentler than that of the second guide portion 623 and the third guide portion 625. As a result, the liquid is forcefully discharged to the right side from the second discharge portion 626. For this reason, the liquid discharged from the second discharge portion 626 is discharged to the right side of the carrier plate 50, for example, inside the door of the vehicle. This makes it difficult for the liquid to reach at least one of the components of the window regulator 100 arranged below the second discharge structure 62, such as the guide rail 10 and the cable 30.
[0059] The first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 of the carrier plate 50 have been described above. The first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 are provided on the first surface 51 side of the carrier plate 50, that is, on the surface that faces the outside of the vehicle when the window regulator 100 is attached to the vehicle. Liquid that has infiltrated from the upper side of the window regulator 100 is discharged in separate directions along the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62. For this reason, the liquid can be suitably discharged toward a location where there are no guide rails 10 or cables 30 that may rust when exposed to liquids such as water.
[0060] The ejection structure of the carrier plate 50 is divided into a first ejection structure 61 and a second ejection structure 62, and a first attachment portion 54 provided with the first ejection structure 61 and a second attachment portion 55 provided with the second ejection structure 62 are formed separately. This makes the forming process easier than when the entire carrier plate 50 is integrally formed. In addition, even if the first ejection structure 61 and the second ejection structure 62 have a complex shape as shown in FIG. 2, they can be easily formed, and problems such as a decrease in strength or cracking of parts that may occur when complex shapes are formed by integral molding can be avoided.
[0061] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the first exhaust structure 61 and the second exhaust structure 62 are disposed so as to avoid the region R on the first surface 51.
[0062] Although not shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, an engagement member for attaching the carrier plate 50 to the guide rail 10 is attached to the second surface 52 side of the carrier plate 50 corresponding to this region R.
[0063] 5 is a diagram showing a state in which the engagement member 70 is fixed to the second surface 52 side of the carrier plate 50. The engagement member 70 has, for example, a protrusion (not shown), and is fixed to the main body 53 by fitting the protrusion into a hole formed in the region R shown in FIG.
[0064] Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining a state in which the carrier plate 50 is engaged with the guide rail 10 by the engagement member 70. Fig. 6 shows the carrier plate 50 and the guide rail 10 viewed from above in a state in which the carrier plate 50 is located at almost the uppermost part of the guide rail 10. As shown in Fig. 6, the engagement member 70 is housed inside the guide rail 10, so that the carrier plate 50 is engaged with the guide rail 10. The engagement member 70 is movable along the guide rail 10 inside the guide rail 10, and accordingly the carrier plate 50 is also movable along the guide rail 10.
[0065] 7 and 8 are diagrams showing the positional relationship between the guide rail 10, the driving unit 40, and the carrier plate 50 when the carrier plate 50 is located almost at the top of the guide rail 10. The carrier plate 50 shown in Figs. 7 and 8 is the right-hand carrier plate in Fig. 1.
[0066] FIG. 7 shows the guide rail 10, the drive unit 40, and the carrier plate 50 of the window regulator 100, viewed from diagonally above. As shown in FIG. 7, parts that may rust due to exposure to liquid, such as the guide rail 10 and the cable 30, are located directly below the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 provided on the carrier plate 50. Therefore, the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 of the carrier plate 50 can suitably discharge the liquid that has infiltrated from the upper side of the window regulator 100 so that the liquid does not splash on parts that may rust due to the liquid. Although not shown, the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 can also suitably discharge the liquid from the left carrier plate 50 shown in FIG. 1 so that the liquid does not splash on parts that may rust due to the liquid.
[0067] 8 shows the driving unit 40 and the carrier plate 50 viewed from above. As shown in FIG. 8, the above-mentioned first discharge structure 61 and second discharge structure 62 are formed on the first surface 51 side of the carrier plate 50. On the other hand, the driving unit 40 is disposed on the second surface 52 side of the carrier plate 50. In this manner, the discharge structure of the carrier plate 50 and the driving unit 40 are disposed so that their positions in the front-rear direction do not overlap each other. For this reason, the liquid discharged from the first discharge portion 614 of the first discharge structure 61 passes behind the driving unit 40 and does not splash on the driving unit 40.
[0068] The above describes the carrier plate 50 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the window regulator 100 including the carrier plate 50. The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims.
[0069] In the above-described embodiment, the window regulator 100 is attached to the back door of the vehicle. The window regulator of the present disclosure may be provided, for example, in a side door of the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle on which the window regulator of the present disclosure is mounted may include various vehicles such as passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles. [Industrial Applicability]
[0070] The present invention is applicable to a carrier plate that supports a window glass of a vehicle and a window regulator having the carrier plate. [Explanation of symbols]
