[0010] Hereinafter, a side door and a moving body according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the side door and the moving body described below are examples of the side door and the moving body according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

[0011] [Embodiment 1] A side door 2 and a moving body 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a side view of a moving body 1 to which a side door 2 according to this embodiment is attached. An example of the moving body 1 is a passenger car as shown in FIG. 1. However, the moving body 1 is not limited to a passenger car. The moving body 1 may be various moving bodies equipped with a side door. Specifically, the moving body 1 may be a bus, a truck, a work vehicle, or the like.

[0013] Fig. 2 is a side view of the side door 2 according to this embodiment. Specifically, Fig. 2 is a side view of the side door 2 at the right front seat as seen from inside the vehicle 1. In the following, when describing the structures of the vehicle 1 and the side door 2, a Cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, Z) shown in each figure will be used.

[0014] The X direction corresponds to the front-to-back direction of the moving body 1. The positive side of the X direction corresponds to the front side of the moving body 1. The negative side of the X direction corresponds to the rear side of the moving body 1. The Y direction corresponds to the left-to-right direction of the moving body 1. The positive side of the Y direction corresponds to the left side when looking at the moving body 1 from behind. The negative side of the Y direction corresponds to the right side when looking at the moving body 1 from behind.

[0015] The Y direction is also the vehicle width direction of the moving body 1. The inward direction in the vehicle width direction is the direction approaching the center in the left-right direction of the moving body 1. The outward direction in the vehicle width direction is the direction away from the center in the left-right direction of the moving body 1. Hereinafter, unless otherwise specified, when referring to the inside and outside, it means the inside and outside in the vehicle width direction.

[0016] The Z direction corresponds to the up-down direction of the moving body 1. The positive side of the Z direction corresponds to the upper side of the moving body 1. The negative side of the Z direction corresponds to the lower side of the moving body 1. In this specification, the upper side refers to the upper side in the direction of gravity, and the lower side refers to the lower side in the direction of gravity. Furthermore, the height in this specification refers to the height in the Z direction. In other words, a high height in this specification means being located on the positive side of the Z direction. Furthermore, the X direction, Y direction, and Z direction refer to the directions when the side door 2 is assembled to the moving body 1.

[0017] Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the side door 2. Specifically, Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the side door 2 as seen from inside the vehicle. Also, Fig. 4 is a diagram schematically showing a cross section of the side door 2. Specifically, Fig. 4 is a cross section of the side door 2 taken along line C1-C1 in Fig. 2, viewed from above.

[0018] 5 is a diagram schematically illustrating a cross section of the side door 2. Specifically, Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the side door 2 taken along line C2-C2 in Fig. 2, viewed from the front with the Z direction facing upward.

[0019] The side door 2 is a door provided at the right front seat (specifically, the driver's seat) of the moving body 1. The side door 2 is rotatably supported by a vehicle body 10 of the moving body 1 (see FIG. 1).

[0020] The side door according to this embodiment is not limited to the side door of the right front seat of the vehicle 1. The side door according to this embodiment may be the side door of the left front seat or the side door of the rear seat. Furthermore, the side door according to this embodiment is not limited to the so-called pivoting side door. The side door according to this embodiment may be the so-called sliding side door.

[0021] The side door 2 has a door body 3, a window frame, and a window panel 5.

[0022] The door body 3 has an outer door member 6 and an inner door member 7 .

[0023] The outer door member 6 is a member provided outside the window panel 5, which will be described later. The outer door member 6 has an outer panel and an inner panel.

[0024] The outer panel is provided on the outermost side of the outer door member 6. The outer panel is a plate-like member made of metal or synthetic resin.

[0025] Examples of metals that form the outer panel include iron and aluminum. Examples of synthetic resins that form the outer panel include polypropylene (PP) and SMC (Sheet Molding Compound). SMC may contain carbon fiber.

[0026] The inner panel is a member provided inside the outer panel. The inner panel is a plate-shaped member made of metal or synthetic resin. The metal and synthetic resin constituting the inner panel are the same as those constituting the outer panel. The inner panel is fixed to the outer panel, for example, at its outer peripheral edge.

[0027] The line passing through the upper edge of the outer door member 6 along the front-to-rear direction is referred to as the belt line (see FIG. 1) of the outer door member 6 (in other words, the vehicle 1). The belt line of the outer door member 6 coincides with the lower end position of the window panel 5 as seen from the outside when the window panel 5 is in a fully closed state.

[0028] The inner door member 7 is a member provided inside the window panel 5 described below. Therefore, the inner door member 7 is provided inside the outer door member 6. The inner door member 7 has a door trim. The inner door member 7 also supports a detection unit, a drive unit, and a control unit. Note that the inner door member 7 may also include an inner panel.

[0029] The door trim is provided at the innermost part of the side door 2. The door trim is a plate-shaped member made of synthetic resin.

[0030] The door trim has a door lever and a door grip (see FIG. 2) on its inner surface. The door lever is operated by an occupant U (see FIG. 6) when opening the side door 2. The door grip is held by the occupant U when closing the side door 2.

[0031] Conventionally, in the case of a typical passenger vehicle, a physical operating unit such as a switch for inputting an operation input to command the raising and lowering operation of the window panel is provided on the inner door member (for example, the upper surface of the door grip). On the other hand, the side door 2 according to this embodiment does not have a physical operating unit on the inner door member 7.

[0032] The door trim has a notch in a first portion (hereinafter simply referred to as the "first portion of the door trim"), which is a part of the upper end portion. In this embodiment, the notch is provided in the front end portion of the upper end portion of the door trim.

[0033] The cutout portion is lower than a second portion (hereinafter simply referred to as "second portion of door trim") which is the portion other than the cutout portion at the upper end of the door trim.

[0034] The height of the second portion of the door trim is the same as or approximately the same as the belt line of the outer door member 6 (in other words, the moving object 1). Therefore, a line passing through the second portion of the door trim along the front-rear direction coincides with or approximately coincides with the belt line (see FIGS. 1 and 2) of the outer door member 6 (in other words, the moving object 1).

[0035] On the other hand, the height of the first portion of the door trim (i.e., the cutout) is lower than the belt line of the upper edge of the outer door member 6 (in other words, the moving body 1). Furthermore, the height of the first portion of the door trim (i.e., the cutout) is lower than the upper end of the window panel 5 in the open position (the open position of the window panel 5 will be described later).

[0036] The cutout has a bottom plate portion and a side wall portion. The cutout is open upward and inward. The upper surface of the bottom plate portion corresponds to an example of the bottom surface of the cutout. The bottom plate portion is lower than the belt line (in other words, the upper edge of the outer door member 6) and lower than the upper end of the window panel 5 in the open position.

[0037] The space surrounded by the cutout portion (specifically, the bottom plate portion and the side wall portion) is the input area (see FIGS. 4 and 5). The input area is an area where the passenger U performs an operation to operate the window panel 5.

[0038] The detection unit detects information related to an operation in the input area by the passenger (operator) U. The detection unit may include, for example, a sensor and / or a camera.

[0039] The detection unit is provided around the input area on the door trim. Specifically, the detection unit is provided behind a cutout (specifically, a side wall) on the door trim (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

[0040] As shown in FIG. 6, the detection unit sends the detected value (in other words, information regarding the operation of the passenger U) to the control unit.

[0041] The operation of the occupant U may be, for example, a movement of the hand or fingers of the occupant U. In other words, the information regarding the operation of the occupant U may be information regarding the movement of the occupant U.

[0042] The action of the occupant U may include an action to instruct the window panel 5 to be raised. The action of the occupant U may include an action to instruct the window panel 5 to be lowered. The action of the occupant U may include an action to instruct the window panel 5 to be stopped from moving. In addition, the information regarding the operation of the occupant U may include various information for operating the window panel 5.

[0043] The drive unit (see FIG. 6) raises and lowers the window panel 5 under the control of the control unit (described later). The drive unit is a so-called window regulator. The drive unit is provided between the door trim and the inner panel. The configuration of the drive unit is similar to that of a general window regulator, so a detailed description will be omitted.

[0044] The control unit (see FIG. 6) controls the operation of the drive unit based on the detection value of the detection unit (specifically, information regarding the operation of the occupant U) acquired from the detection unit. The control unit is provided between the door trim and the inner panel.

[0045] The control unit may actually be configured such that a CPU, ROM, RAM, and HDD, etc. are connected via a bus, or may be configured such that it is made up of a one-chip LSI, etc. The control performed by the control unit will be described later.

[0046] The window frame (see FIG. 2) is provided above the door body 3. A window opening is provided in the area surrounded by the upper end of the door body 3 (in other words, the belt line of the outer door member 6) and the window frame. The window frame may be omitted.

[0047] The window panel 5 (see Figures 1 and 2) is made of glass. The window panel 5 is provided between an outer door member 6 and an inner door member 7. The window panel 5 moves up and down based on the power of a drive unit (see Figure 6).

[0048] The position where the window panel 5 is moved to the uppermost position is referred to as the closed position of the window panel 5 (sometimes simply referred to as the "closed position"). The position where the window panel 5 is moved to the lowermost position is referred to as the open position of the window panel 5 (sometimes simply referred to as the "open position").

[0049] The window panel 5 is disposed in the window opening in the closed position. The state in which the window panel 5 is disposed in the closed position is referred to as the closed state of the window panel 5.

[0050] Furthermore, the window panel 5 is housed in the door body 3 in the open position. The state in which the window panel 5 is in the open position is referred to as the open state of the window panel 5. In this state, the upper edge 52 of the window panel 5 is lower than the outer door member 6 (in other words, the belt line of the outer door member 6). In other words, in the open state of the window panel 5, the window panel 5 does not protrude above the outer door member 6, and is entirely covered by the outer door member 6. In other words, the window panel 5 in the open state cannot be seen when viewed horizontally from outside the vehicle 1.

[0051] When the window panel 5 is in the open position, at least a part of the upper end of the window panel 5 is exposed inside the vehicle. Specifically, when the window panel 5 is in the open position, an exposed portion 51 (see FIG. 2 ), which is a portion of the upper end of the window panel 5 that faces an area above the cutout portion (in other words, the first portion of the door trim) and lower than the upper edge of the outer door member 6 in the vehicle width direction, is exposed inside the vehicle. In other words, when the window panel 5 in the open state is viewed horizontally from inside (inside the vehicle 1), the exposed portion 51 of the window panel 5 can be seen. Note that the window panel 5 in FIG. 2 is in the open state.

[0052] When the window panel 5 is in the open position, the portion of the upper end of the window panel 5 that faces the second portion, i.e., the portion other than the notch, is covered from the inside by the second portion of the door trim. In other words, when the window panel 5 is in the open position, the portion of the upper end of the window panel 5 that faces the second portion of the door trim in the vehicle width direction is not exposed inside the vehicle.

[0053] In addition, a plate member (see Figure 2) is provided on the inner surface of the inner panel in a portion facing an area above the cutout portion (in other words, the first portion of the door trim) and lower than the upper edge of the outer door member 6.

[0054] The plate member functions as a display unit that displays information. Specifically, the plate member may be a projection plate. The plate member projects a video or image output by a projector (not shown) provided around the plate member.

[0055] The information projected by the plate member may be, for example, information indicating the movement direction of the window panel 5. By looking at the information displayed on the plate member, the occupant U can recognize that the window panel 5 can be raised and lowered around the plate member (i.e., in the input area). In this way, the information projected by the plate member may be information that makes the occupant U recognize that the window panel 5 can be raised and lowered.

[0056] Furthermore, since the inner surface of the inner panel is covered by the plate member, the inner surface of the inner panel is not visible to the occupant U. This improves the design. The plate member may have various designs on its inner surface. This configuration further improves the design.

[0057] Next, the operation by the passenger U and the control by the control unit when raising and lowering the window panel 5 will be briefly described.

[0058] First, the passenger U brings his / her hand U1 close to the input area or the exposed portion 51, as shown in FIG. 4. At this time, the passenger U may place his / her hand U1 in the input area. Then, the passenger U performs an action to instruct the operation of the window panel 5 near the input area or the exposed portion 51. The action to instruct the operation of the window panel 5 may include an action to raise the window panel 5 or an action to lower the window panel 5. Furthermore, the action to instruct the operation of the window panel 5 may include an action to stop the movement of the window panel 5.

[0059] An example of an action for raising the window panel 5 is to move a finger from bottom to top, while an example of an action for lowering the window panel 5 is to move a finger from top to bottom.

[0060] Next, the detection unit detects an operation (motion, in this embodiment) by the occupant U near the input area or the exposed portion 51. Then, the detection unit sends information about the detected operation by the occupant U (information about the motion of the occupant U, in this embodiment) to the control unit.

[0061] The control unit analyzes information regarding the operation of the occupant U (in this embodiment, information regarding the movement of the occupant U) acquired from the detection unit, and acquires information regarding the instructions of the occupant U. Then, the control unit controls the drive unit based on the acquired information regarding the instructions of the occupant U.

[0062] The drive unit raises and lowers the window panel 5 under the control of the control unit. In this embodiment, the passenger U inputs an instruction to raise and lower the window panel 5 by operating the input area or the vicinity of the exposed portion 51. However, the passenger U may also input an instruction to raise and lower the window panel 5 by operating an input unit (for example, a mechanical switch or a touch sensor) provided in the input area or the vicinity of the exposed portion 51.

[0063] Such an input unit may be provided on the bottom plate or side wall of the cutout in the door trim. An input unit provided on the bottom plate or side wall of the door trim corresponds to an example of a first input unit. When the input unit is provided on the bottom plate or side wall of the door trim, the occupant U can input instructions at a position close to the window panel 5, which is the object of operation. Such a configuration contributes to improved usability and operability.

[0064] The input unit may also be provided on the window panel 5. Specifically, the input unit may be provided in a position on the window panel 5 facing the input area. Such an input unit corresponds to an example of a second input unit. When the input unit is provided on the window panel 5, the passenger U can directly input instructions to the window panel 5, which is the object of operation. Such a configuration contributes to improving usability and operability.

[0065] In the case where an input unit (for example, a mechanical switch or a touch sensor) is provided in the input area, the control unit controls the raising and lowering operation of the window panel 5 based on the operation input received by the input unit.

[0066] (Actions and Effects of This Embodiment) According to the side door 2 according to this embodiment having the above-described configuration, a side door having a novel configuration can be provided.

[0067] In particular, the side door 2 according to this embodiment has the above-mentioned cutout portion in the door trim. The side door 2 has an input area in the space surrounded by the cutout portion. The input area is an area where the occupant U performs an operation to operate the window panel 5.

[0068] Furthermore, as described above, in this embodiment, the door grip 712 of the inner door member 7 does not have a physical operating unit. Therefore, the occupant U operates the window panel 5 by reaching out toward the window panel 5, which is the target of operation. This allows the occupant U to operate the window panel 5 more directly. As a result, usability and operability are improved. If a conventional side door were not provided with a physical operating unit on the door grip 712 and instead had a configuration in which information about the occupant U's movement was detected to operate the window panel 5, the window panel 5 would be entirely covered by the inner door member when the window panel 5 is in the open state. In this state, the occupant U inside the vehicle 1 would not be able to see the window panel 5. This makes it difficult for the occupant U to intuitively know where to reach to operate the window panel 5.

[0069] On the other hand, the side door 2 according to this embodiment is configured so that at least a portion of the upper end of the window panel 5 in the open state is exposed inside the vehicle 1 (inside the vehicle). Therefore, even when the window panel 5 is in the open position, the passenger U present inside the vehicle 1 can see the window panel 5. In other words, regardless of the state of the window panel 5 (even when it is in the open state), the passenger U can always see the window panel 5 that is the object of operation. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the passenger U can easily intuitively grasp where to reach to operate the window panel 5 that is the object of operation. As a result, usability and operability can be further improved.

[0070] Furthermore, since the input area as described above is provided in a position close to the window panel 5, the passenger U can operate the window panel 5 from a position close to the window panel 5 that is the object of operation. This significantly improves usability and operability.

[0071] Furthermore, the input area is located lower than the outer door member 6. This makes it difficult for sunlight to irradiate the input area from outside the vehicle. This reduces the heat resistance of the detection unit located around the input area. As a result, the cost of the detection unit can be reduced. Other functions and effects obtained from the side door 2 according to this embodiment are as described above.

[0072] [Embodiment 2] A side door 2B according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a side view of a side door 2B according to a modified example. Specifically, Fig. 7 is a side view of the right side door 2B as seen from inside the vehicle.

[0073] The side door 2B according to this embodiment has a door main body 3B having a different configuration from the door main body 3 in the above-described embodiment 1. Specifically, the configuration of the door trim B of the inner door member 7B is different from the configuration of the door trim in the above-described embodiment 1. Furthermore, the side door 2B according to this embodiment also has a plate member B having a different configuration from the plate member in the above-described embodiment 1.

[0074] The other configurations of the side door 2B are almost the same as the configurations of the side door 2 in the above-described embodiment 1. Therefore, among the configurations of the side door 2B, the same configurations as the configurations of the side door 2 in the above-described embodiment 1 are assigned the same reference numerals as used for the side door 2 in the embodiment 1.

[0075] The door trim B is provided at the innermost position of the side door 2B and is a plate-shaped member made of synthetic resin.

[0076] In this embodiment, at least the portion of the upper end of the door trim that faces the window panel 5 in the vehicle width direction, from the front end to the rear end, is lower than the belt line of the outer door member 6 (i.e., the upper edge of the outer door member 6).

[0077] Specifically, in this embodiment, the entire upper end of the door trim (in other words, the portion from the front end to the rear end) is lower than the belt line of the outer door member 6 (that is, the upper edge of the outer door member 6).

[0078] The window panel 5 in Fig. 7 is in an open state. The portion with diagonal grid in Fig. 7 indicates the portion of the window panel 5 (exposed portion 51B) that is exposed to the interior of the vehicle when the window panel 5 is in the open position.

[0079] 7, when the window panel 5 is in the open position, the entire upper end portion of the window panel 5 is exposed inside the vehicle. Also, when the window panel 5 is in the open position, it is lower than the belt line of the outer door member 6 (in other words, the upper edge of the outer door member 6).

[0080] Furthermore, a plate member B is provided at the upper end of the inner surface of the inner panel. The plate member B is provided in a position facing the exposed portion 51B. Therefore, the inner surface of the inner panel is not visible from inside the vehicle, thereby improving the design.

[0081] In the case of the present embodiment as described above, a predetermined area above the upper surface of the door trim B and below the belt line (in other words, the upper edge of the outer door member 6) may be set as the input area.

[0082] Furthermore, an input unit (for example, a mechanical switch or a touch sensor) for inputting an operation input for raising and lowering the window panel 5 may be provided at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the door trim B. Such an input unit corresponds to an example of a first input unit. The other configurations, actions, and effects are the same as those of the first embodiment described above.
