Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a side door and a vehicle. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there are known mobile objects such as vehicles that are equipped with side doors for opening and closing openings such as entrances and exits. For example, a known side door has a configuration in which an outer panel that forms the outer surface of the vehicle and an inner panel attached to the inside of the outer panel are provided (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The inner panel is provided with an engaged member (for example, a member to which an inner handle is fixed) that engages with a cable for unlocking the side door.

[0003] This cable is connected to a door lock device that locks the side door so that it cannot be moved. When a passenger operates the inner handle of the side door, the door lock device is unlocked via the cable, allowing the side door to be moved. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0012] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a vehicle 1 equipped with a sliding door 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the following description, a Cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, Z) is used. The same Cartesian coordinate system (X, Y, Z) is also used in the drawings described below. For example, the X direction indicates the left-right direction (vehicle width direction) of the vehicle 1, the Y direction indicates the front-rear direction (travel direction) of the vehicle 1, and the Z direction indicates the up-down direction (height direction) of the vehicle 1.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 1, the moving body according to this embodiment is a vehicle 1, and includes a vehicle body (moving body body). However, the moving body according to this embodiment is not limited to an automobile such as the vehicle 1, and may be various moving bodies (moving devices). Specifically, the moving body may be a ship, an aircraft, an air vehicle, a drone, a robot, etc. When the moving body is an automobile, the moving body may be a passenger car, a bus, a truck, a work vehicle, etc.

[0014] The vehicle 1 is equipped with a sliding door 10 that can open and close an entrance (opening) for passengers. The sliding door 10 is provided on the side of the vehicle 1, configured to be slidable in the Y direction, and has a structure that can prevent the sliding door 10 from opening due to a side collision. In the following description, the side door will be described as a sliding door, but this is not limiting. For example, the side door may be a swing door (hinge door) that is provided rotatably with respect to the mobile body via a hinge portion.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, the sliding door 10 includes an outer portion 11 (see FIG. 1), an inner portion 12, a module portion 13, a lock portion 14, a reinforcing portion 15, and a restricting portion 16. The sliding doors 10 are provided on both sides of the vehicle 1 in the X direction, and the sliding doors 10 on both sides in the X direction have the same structure. In the following description, only the sliding door 10 located on the positive side in the X direction will be described, and a description of the sliding door 10 located on the negative side in the X direction will be omitted. Furthermore, the relationship between the positive and negative sides in the X direction of the sliding door 10 located on the negative side in the X direction is reversed to the relationship between the positive and negative sides in the X direction of the sliding door 10 located on the positive side in the X direction.

[0016] The outer portion 11 is the outer panel of the sliding door 10 and, in this embodiment, is a plate-like member made of resin. Because the outer portion 11 constitutes the exterior surface of the automobile (mobile body), it is required to have a good surface appearance and high dimensional accuracy. The outer portion 11 is made of a material that can exhibit high dimensional accuracy, and in this embodiment, it is made of a material with a linear expansion coefficient lower than that of the material constituting the inner portion 12. For example, the outer portion 11 may be made of a low linear expansion material such as low linear expansion polypropylene. Furthermore, the material constituting the outer portion 11 is preferably a resin composition that is substantially free of fibrous reinforcing materials such as glass fiber, more preferably a thermoplastic resin composition that is substantially free of fibrous reinforcing materials. Constituting the outer portion 11 with a material that is substantially free of fibrous reinforcing materials can improve the surface appearance. Furthermore, by forming the outer portion 11 from low linear expansion polypropylene, the rigidity of the outer portion 11 can be increased compared to when the outer portion 11 is formed from ordinary polypropylene. Furthermore, the outer portion 11 may be configured to have a thickness greater than that of the inner portion 12, for example, by 3 mm.

[0017] The inner portion 12 is an inner panel of the sliding door 10, and in this embodiment is a plate-like member made of resin. The inner portion 12 is disposed inside the outer portion 11 and is attached to the outer portion 11 via a reinforcing member or the like. The inner portion 12 is made of a material with higher rigidity than the outer portion 11, for example, a resin composition containing a fibrous reinforcing material such as glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, more preferably a thermoplastic resin composition containing a fibrous reinforcing material. The thickness of the inner portion 12 may be, for example, 2.5 mm.

[0018] The inner part 12 is configured by cutting out the window glass frame 10A and a portion on the negative side of the window glass frame 10A in the Z direction. The module part 13 is fixed to the portion on the negative side of the window glass frame 10A in the Z direction. In addition, a lock part 14 (door lock part) is attached to the inner part 12 on the negative side of the position corresponding to the module part 13 in the Y direction.

[0019] The module portion 13 is a portion to which various components, such as the bracket 2 described below, are fixed. The module portion 13 is also called a module panel, and together with the inner portion 12, it constitutes part of the inner panel, and is disposed on the inner portion 12 on the negative side in the Z direction from the window glass frame 10A. In this embodiment, a cutout is provided in the inner portion 12, the module portion 13 is provided at a position corresponding to the cutout, and the inner portion 12 and the module portion 13 constitute the inner panel, but this is not limited to this. For example, the inner panel may be formed only by the inner portion 12 without using the module portion 13, and various components, such as the bracket 2 described below, may be fixed directly to the inner portion 12.

[0020] The module portion 13 is a plate-like member made of resin, and like the inner portion 12, is made of a material that is more rigid than the outer portion 11, for example, a resin composition containing a fibrous reinforcing material such as glass fiber reinforced polypropylene, more preferably a thermoplastic resin composition containing a fibrous reinforcing material. The thickness of the module portion 13 may be, for example, 1.6 mm.

[0021] In addition, a bracket 2 for fixing an inner handle 10B of the sliding door 10 is fixed to the module part 13. The bracket 2 is made of, for example, metal, and is provided at the end of the module part 13 on the positive side in the Y direction. That is, in this embodiment, the lock part 14 is provided on one side of the sliding door 10 in the traveling direction of the vehicle 1 (specifically, the rear side), and the bracket 2 is provided on the other side of the sliding door 10 in the traveling direction of the vehicle 1 (specifically, the front side).

[0022] 3, bracket 2 is configured such that the end portion on the negative side in the Y direction is bent toward the positive side in the X direction. The end portion on the negative side in the Y direction of bracket 2 is provided with an engaged portion 2A that is cut out so as to open toward the positive side in the X direction. Bracket 2 corresponds to the "engaged member" of the present disclosure.

[0023] An inner handle 10B for operating the locking unit 14 is fixed to the bracket 2. The bracket 2 supports a transmission mechanism (not shown) that transmits the operation of the inner handle 10B to the cable 3. In this embodiment, the bracket 2 and the inner handle 10B form an operating unit for operating the locking unit 14. The operation of the inner handle 10B is transmitted to the locking unit 14 by the cable 3, which has one end connected to the locking unit 14 and the other end connected to the operating unit, and which transmits the operation of the operating unit to the locking unit 14. This makes it possible to perform operations such as releasing the locking unit 14 by operating the inner handle 10B provided on the bracket 2.

[0024] An engaging portion 3A provided at the other end of the cable 3 is adapted to engage with the engaged portion 2A. In this embodiment, the cable 3 is composed of a cylindrical outer casing (not shown) having an internal cavity, and a wire (not shown) inserted into the internal cavity of the outer casing. One end of the wire is connected to a pole (described later) of the locking portion 14, and the other end of the wire is connected to the inner handle 10B. In this embodiment, the engaging portion 3A provided at the tip of the outer casing is adapted to engage with the engaged portion 2A. In addition, an engaging portion is also provided at the tip of the other end of the outer casing, and this engaging portion is engaged with and fixed to the locking portion 14. Note that the engaging portion of the cable 3 that engages with the engaged portion 2A may be located at a location other than the tip.

[0025] Furthermore, a fixing portion (not shown) for fixing the bracket 2 is provided at the end of the module portion 13 on the positive side in the Y direction. Furthermore, the non-fixed portion other than the fixing portion in the range where the bracket 2 of the module portion 13 is arranged is configured to be spaced apart from the bracket 2. In other words, the module portion 13 is arranged in a position partially facing the bracket 2 in the X direction.

[0026] The non-fixed portion of the module part 13 includes a portion corresponding to the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 (in other words, a portion facing the engaged portion 2A in the X direction). For example, parts related to the inner handle 10B, parts such as the transmission mechanism, etc. may be arranged in the non-fixed portion of the module part 13. In addition, other parts may be arranged on surfaces of the module part 13 other than the surface facing the bracket 2.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 2 , the locking unit 14 is part of a locking mechanism for locking the movement of the sliding door 10, and is disposed at the end of the inner part 12 on the negative side in the Y direction. The locking unit 14 restricts the movement of the sliding door 10 relative to the vehicle 1 by restraining the sliding door 10 to the vehicle 1. The locking mechanism may be a known mechanism, such as a mechanism composed of a striker and a latch. The locking unit 14 is provided with either a striker or a latch, and the vehicle 1 is provided with the other of either a striker or a latch.

[0028] The locking mechanism is also provided with a pole or the like for rotating the latch. One end of a cable 3 is connected to the bracket 2, and the other end of the cable 3 is connected to the pole. More specifically, one end of a wire in the cable 3 is connected to the inner handle 10B of the operating unit, and the other end of the wire is connected to the pole. When an unlocking operation is performed using the inner handle 10B, the operation is transmitted to the pole of the locking unit 14 by the cable 3. Then, the pole rotates to rotate the latch, thereby disengaging the latch from the striker and unlocking the sliding door 10.

[0029] As described above, in this embodiment, the locking unit 14 is provided on one side (specifically, the rear side) of the sliding door 10 in the traveling direction of the vehicle 1, and the bracket 2 (operating unit) is provided on the other side (specifically, the front side) of the sliding door 10 in the traveling direction of the vehicle 1, i.e., at positions spaced apart in the traveling direction of the vehicle 1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 , the cable 3 is arranged so that at least a portion thereof extends along the traveling direction of the vehicle 1 so as to connect the locking unit 14 and the operating unit, which are provided at positions spaced apart in the traveling direction. Also, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , the cable 3 is arranged so as to extend along the traveling direction of the vehicle 1 from an engagement portion between the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 and the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3. Note that the cable 3 may or may not be fixed to the module portion 13 or the inner portion 12 at a portion other than the engagement portion with the bracket 2 or the engagement portion with the locking unit 14.

[0030] The reinforcing portion 15 is intended to reinforce the module portion 13 and is made of a material (for example, metal) that is more rigid than the module portion 13. The reinforcing portion 15 has a thickness of 0.6 mm or more and a tensile strength of 440 N / mm 2 The above materials may also be used. The reinforcing portion 15 may be a plate-like member. The reinforcing portion 15 is provided on the surface of the module portion 13 opposite to the side to which the bracket 2 is fixed. Note that in a configuration in which the bracket 2 is directly fixed to the inner portion 12 without using the module portion 13, the reinforcing portion 15 may be for reinforcing the inner portion 12. In other words, the reinforcing portion 15 may be for reinforcing a resin plate-like member that is disposed opposite the bracket 2.

[0031] Specifically, reinforcing portion 15 is disposed so as to be located at least in a range overlapping with a position facing the portion of cable 3 that engages with engaged portion 2A when viewed from the X direction (side of vehicle 1). For example, reinforcing portion 15 is disposed in a range from near the end of module portion 13 on the positive side in the Y direction to a portion on the negative side in the Y direction of the range overlapping with the portion of cable 3 that engages with engaged portion 2A. In other words, the negative end (rear end) of reinforcing portion 15 in the Y direction is located on the negative side (rearward) in the Y direction of the position where the engaging portion of cable 3 engages with engaged portion 2A.

[0032] By arranging this reinforcing portion 15, it is possible to prevent the module portion 13 and the inner portion 12 from cracking at the portion corresponding to the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 when the vehicle 1 is hit from the side by some object.

[0033] The restricting portion 16 restricts the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 from coming off the engaged portion 2A, and is formed of, for example, a plate-shaped member. The restricting portion 16 may be made of a resin or a metal. The restricting portion 16 is disposed between the bracket 2 and the module portion 13, and is fixed, for example, to an appropriate location on the module portion 13. The restricting portion 16 is attached by welding or mechanical fastening using screws or the like.

[0034] The restricting portion 16 is disposed at a position facing the engaging portion between the engaged portion 2A and the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 in the X direction, and at a position that prevents the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 from releasing the engagement with the engaged portion 2A. Specifically, the distance between the restricting portion 16 and the engaging portion is shorter than the length of the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3.

[0035] The distance between the restricting portion 16 and the engaging portion may be the distance between the restricting portion 16 and the edge portion of the engaged portion 2A on the restricting portion 16 side. Furthermore, the length of the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 may be the length of the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 in the X direction (the opposing direction between the restricting portion 16 and the engaged portion 2A). In this embodiment, the diameter of the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 corresponds to the length of the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3.

[0036] This makes it possible for the regulating portion 16 to regulate the movement of the cable 3 even if a force acts on the module portion 13 or the bracket 2 to move the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 in a direction (specifically, in the X direction) that causes it to come out of the engaged portion 2A.

[0037] The distance between the restricting portion 16 and the engaging portion may be such that the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 does not come off the engaged portion 2A, and may be, for example, less than half the length of the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3.

[0038] The effects of the present embodiment configured as above will now be described.

[0039] The vehicle 1 may be hit from the side by some object (for example, a moving object such as another vehicle). If the sliding door 10 is opened after the side collision, passengers and cargo inside the vehicle 1 may be thrown out of the vehicle 1. Therefore, in a collision test of the vehicle 1, it is required that the sliding door 10 not be opened during the test.

[0040] In this embodiment, the plate-like members constituting the inner panels such as the inner portion 12 and the module portion 13 are made of resin material, so when the sliding door 10 is hit from the side, there is a risk that the inner panel will be damaged (cracked) due to the impact of the side collision.

[0041] When the module part 13 is broken due to a side collision, the first part 13A (see FIG. 4) including the fixing part of the bracket 2 is displaced so as to rotate toward the inside of the vehicle 1 (for example, the negative side in the X direction). FIG. 4 and other figures show an example in which the ratio of the first part 13A to the entire module part 13 is smaller than that of the second part 13B on the side of the module part 13 to which the bracket 2 is not fixed.

[0042] If this happens, the engagement between the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 and the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 will be released, and there is a possibility that the cable 3 will come off from the engaged portion 2A.

[0043] More specifically, for example, as shown in Fig. 4, when a force toward the - side in the X direction is input to the sliding door 10 due to a side collision of a moving object 4 moving from the + side in the X direction of the vehicle 1, a force toward the - side in the X direction is also input to the module unit 13. At this time, since the bracket 2 is fixed to the - side in the X direction of the module unit 13, the module unit 13 is likely to crack near the position facing the bracket 2, for example, near the position facing the end of the bracket 2. This is particularly likely to occur when the bracket 2 fixed to the module unit 13 is made of a material (for example, a metal material) that is more rigid than the module unit 13.

[0044] 4, it is assumed that the module unit 13 is cracked at position P1 (near the position facing the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 with the cable 3) corresponding to the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 with the cable 3. In this case, the crack causes displacement of the module unit 13 such that the first portion 13A, to which the bracket 2 is fixed, rotates toward the negative side in the X direction. Then, due to the displacement of the first portion 13A, the position of the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 is also displaced, and the cable 3 engaged with the engaged portion 2A is pulled by the locking portion 14. Note that, for simplicity of explanation, other members such as the outer portion 11 are omitted from FIG. 4.

[0045] Since the proportion of first portion 13A to the entire module portion 13 is relatively small, the amount of displacement caused by a side collision is relatively large. As a result, the force acting to pull cable 3 out of engaged portion 2A increases, and thus cable 3 becomes more likely to come out of engaged portion 2A.

[0046] If the inner panel is made of a highly rigid material such as a metal material, damage such as cracking of the resin material is unlikely to occur in the event of a side collision, and the entire inner panel will displace. Therefore, only the part where bracket 2 is fixed will not be displaced so as to rotate significantly, and the cable is unlikely to come loose as described above.

[0047] When the cable 3 comes off from the engaged portion 2A, the cable 3 becomes loose and behaves in the same manner as when the locking portion 14 is released, which may result in the opening of the sliding door 10. More specifically, if the engaged portion 2A provided on the outer casing of the cable 3 comes off from the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 while the wire of the cable 3 remains connected to both the operating portion (inner handle 10B) and the locking portion 14, the wire will be pulled by the displacement caused by the rotation of the first portion 13A described above, which may result in the locking portion 14 being released and the sliding door 10 being opened.

[0048] In this embodiment, since the reinforcing portion 15 is provided in a range overlapping with the bracket 2, it is possible to prevent the module portion 13 and the inner portion 12 from cracking in the range where the reinforcing portion 15 is located.

[0049] 5, even if a side collision occurs with a moving object 4 moving from the negative side in the X direction of the vehicle 1, the portion at position P1 corresponding to the engaged portion 2A is protected by the reinforcing portion 15. Then, the module portion 13 breaks at position P2 on the negative side in the Y direction of the reinforcing portion 15.

[0050] More specifically, the proportion of first portion 13A to the entire module portion 13 is larger than in the configuration without reinforcing portion 15 as shown in Fig. 4, and therefore the amount of displacement of first portion 13A is reduced. As a result, the force that tries to pull cable 3 out of engaged portion 2A is reduced, and in turn, cable 3 becomes less likely to pull out of engaged portion 2A.

[0051] In other words, it is possible to prevent the module part 13 from cracking at the engaged part 2A of the bracket 2 of the module part 13 where the cable 3 is likely to come loose, and thus it is possible to prevent the cable 3 from coming loose from the engaged part 2A.

[0052] In this embodiment, the cable 3 is prevented from coming off the engaged portion 2A by the restricting portion 16. In this embodiment, the restricting portion 16 is disposed on the inner side (negative side in the X direction) of the module portion 13.

[0053] 6, when a side collision occurs, the first portion including the fixing portion of the bracket 2 of the module portion 13 rotates inward (toward the negative side in the X direction), and the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 tries to move relatively outward from the engaged portion 2A (toward the positive side in the X direction). However, even if the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3 tries to move outward from the engaged portion 2A, the restricting portion 16 is positioned opposite the engaged portion 2A, so the movement of the cable 3 is restricted.

[0054] That is, the restricting portion 16 can prevent the cable 3 from coming off the engaged portion 2A.

[0055] As described above, in this embodiment, the cable 3 can be prevented from coming off the engaged portion 2A, and therefore the sliding door 10 can be prevented from being opened due to a side collision.

[0056] Furthermore, by providing both the reinforcing portion 15 and the restricting portion 16, it is possible to further prevent the cable 3 from coming off the engaged portion 2A.

[0057] Furthermore, since the end portion on the negative side in the Y direction of the reinforcing portion 15 is located on the negative side in the Y direction of the position where the engaging portion of the cable 3 engages with the engaged portion 2A, the starting point of a crack in the module portion 13 can be located on the negative side in the Y direction of the position corresponding to the engaged portion 2A. As a result, it is possible to easily prevent the module portion 13 from cracking at the position corresponding to the engaged portion 2A.

[0058] Furthermore, since the reinforcing portion 15 is made of a material having higher rigidity than the module portion 13, it is possible to easily prevent the module portion 13 from cracking at the position corresponding to the engaged portion 2A.

[0059] Furthermore, since the reinforcing portion 15 is disposed on the opposite side of the module portion 13 from the engaged portion 2A, the reinforcing portion 15 can easily protect the portion of the module portion 13 that corresponds to the reinforcing portion 15.

[0060] Furthermore, since the restricting portion 16 is disposed at a position facing the engaged portion 2A, it is possible to easily prevent the cable 3 from coming off the engaged portion 2A.

[0061] Furthermore, since the distance between the regulating portion 16 and the engaged portion between the engaged portion 2A and the cable 3 is shorter than the length of the engaging portion 3A of the cable 3, it is possible to reliably prevent the cable 3 from coming loose from the engaged portion 2A.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the module portion 13 did not have any reinforcing structure other than the reinforcing portion 15, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the module portion 13 or the inner portion 12 may have a reinforcing structure for reinforcing the position corresponding to the engaged portion 2A.

[0063] 7, the module part 13 may have a break point 13C located on the negative side in the Y direction (the other end side of the cable 3) of the engaged part 2A. The break point 13C may be, for example, a convex part formed by bead processing or the like, or a part where the plate thickness is partially thinned.

[0064] By doing so, module part 13 is more likely to break at break point part 13C, and therefore it is possible to more easily prevent module part 13 from breaking at the position corresponding to engaged part 2A.

[0065] Furthermore, the module part 13 may have a rib 13D at a position corresponding to the engaged part 2A. Furthermore, the thickness of the part of the module part 13 corresponding to the engaged part 2A may be configured to be thicker than the thickness of the part of the module part 13 on the negative side in the Y direction relative to the part corresponding to the engaged part 2A.

[0066] This increases the rigidity of the module part 13 at the position corresponding to the engaged part 2A, making it possible to make the module part 13 more likely to crack at a part other than the part corresponding to the engaged part 2A. In other words, it is possible to prevent the module part 13 from cracking at the position corresponding to the engaged part 2A.

[0067] The above-described reinforcing structure may also function as the reinforcing portion of the present disclosure. In this case, the reinforcing portion 15 of the module portion 13 may not be provided. However, it is preferable that the reinforcing portion 15 is provided from the viewpoint of positioning the crack position of the module portion 13 at a position other than the portion corresponding to the engaged portion 2A.

[0068] Furthermore, the shape of a non-fixed portion, which is a portion other than the fixed portion of the bracket 2 among the portions of the module unit 13 corresponding to the bracket 2 in the above embodiment, may be a shape that functions as a reinforcing structure other than the reinforcing portion 15. For example, as shown in Fig. 8, the non-fixed portion 13E of the module unit 13 is configured to be recessed more toward the + side in the X direction than the other portions.

[0069] The non-fixed portion 13E is configured in an arc shape. The arc portion of the non-fixed portion 13E has a shape that, for example, draws an arc that moves away from the bracket 2 toward the negative Y direction from positions corresponding to the positive Z-direction end and the negative Y-direction end of the bracket 2. The distance in the Y direction between the arc portion of the non-fixed portion 13E and the negative Y-direction end of the reinforcing portion 15 is smallest at position E1 of the non-fixed portion 13E closest to the negative Y direction.

[0070] This makes it possible, for example, when module part 13 is cracked at a position corresponding to the end of reinforcing part 15 on the negative side in the Y direction due to a side collision, to make it easier for the crack in module part 13 on the negative side in the Z direction of position E1 to follow the shape of non-fixed part 13E. As a result, stress concentration is alleviated, making it easier to protect the part of engaged part 2A located on the positive side in the Z direction of position E1.

[0071] Furthermore, the module portion 13 may be provided with a bead portion 13F that is beaded at a portion closer to the negative Y-direction side than the negative Y-direction end of the reinforcing portion 15, for example.

[0072] This makes it possible to reduce the rigidity of the area between the reinforcing portion 15 and the bead portion 13F compared to other areas, so that cracks in the module portion 13 caused by a side collision can be located in the area between the reinforcing portion 15 and the bead portion 13F. As a result, it is possible to more easily prevent cracks from occurring in the area corresponding to the engaged portion 2A.

[0073] In addition, in the above embodiment, the module portion 13 and the restricting portion 16 are separate bodies, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the module portion 13 and the restricting portion may be integrated.

[0074] For example, as shown in FIG. 9, a protrusion 13G protruding from the module portion 13 may be the restricting portion.

[0075] The restricting portion may also be provided on the bracket 2 (engaged member). For example, as shown in Fig. 10, assume that the engaged portion 2A of the bracket 2 has a structure in which it extends toward the negative side in the X direction and then extends toward the negative side in the Z direction. In this case, the cable 3 engages with the portion of the engaged portion 2A that extends toward the negative side in the Z direction (engaged portion). Of the walls that make up the engaged portion, a wall portion 2B located on the positive side in the X direction functions as the restricting portion.

[0076] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the module portion 13 is a plate-like member made of resin according to the present disclosure, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the inner portion 12 may also be a plate-like member made of resin according to the present disclosure.

[0077] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the outer portion 11 is made of a resin material, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the outer portion 11 may be made of metal or the like.

[0078] In addition, in the above embodiment, the engaged portion 2A is cut out so as to open toward the outside of the vehicle 1, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the engaged portion 2A may be cut out so as to open toward the inside of the vehicle 1. In this case, it is sufficient that the restricting portion 16 is disposed in a position opposite the engaged portion 2A.

[0079] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the reinforcing portion 15 was positioned in a range that overlaps with the position corresponding to the engaged member (bracket 2) of the module portion 13 (a plate-shaped member made of resin), but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the reinforcing portion 15 may be positioned in a range that covers the entire Y direction of the plate-shaped member made of resin.

[0080] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the reinforcing portion 15 was positioned on the opposite side of the resin plate-shaped member from the engaged member (bracket 2), but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the reinforcing portion 15 may also be positioned opposite the engaged member (bracket 2).

[0081] In the above embodiment, the bracket 2 (engaged member) is fixed to the module part 13 (a resin plate-like member), but the present disclosure is not limited to this and the bracket 2 may be fixed to a part other than the resin plate-like member. In this case, the resin plate-like member is disposed in a position facing the entire engaged member (bracket 2).

[0082] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the reinforcing portion 15 is provided, but the present disclosure is not limited to this, and the reinforcing portion 15 does not have to be provided.

[0083] In the above embodiment, the Z-direction position of the arrangement region of the reinforcement portion 15 overlaps with the Z-direction position of the region of the bracket 2. However, the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the Z-direction position of the arrangement region of the reinforcement portion 15 may be different from the Z-direction position of the bracket 2. That is, the Z-direction position of the arrangement region of the reinforcement portion 15 does not have to overlap with the Z-direction position of the bracket 2. In other words, as long as the arrangement region of the reinforcement portion 15 overlaps with the region where the bracket 2 and the module portion 13 face each other in the fore-and-aft direction (Y direction) of the vehicle 1 when viewed from the X direction, the Z-direction positions of the arrangement region of the reinforcement portion 15 and the region of the bracket 2 may be misaligned. For example, when the vehicle 1 is subjected to a side collision, the module portion 13 tends to crack along the Z direction. In this case, even if the Z-direction positions of the arrangement region of the reinforcement portion 15 and the region of the bracket 2 are misaligned, the module portion 13 will crack along the negative edge of the reinforcement portion 15 in the Y direction. This prevents the module portion 13 from cracking at the position corresponding to the bracket 2. This configuration can be applied when the module part 13 (plate-shaped member) is made of a material that is easily cracked along the Z direction, or when the module part 13 (plate-shaped member) is easily cracked along the Z direction due to its shape or usage form.

[0084] Furthermore, the above-described embodiments are merely examples of specific embodiments for carrying out the present disclosure, and the technical scope of the present disclosure should not be interpreted as being limited by these embodiments. In other words, the present disclosure can be carried out in various forms without departing from its gist or main features. [Industrial Applicability]
