FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a carrier plate as viewed from one side in the thickness direction. In the following description, the front view of the window regulator 1 will be described as a plan view of the window regulator 1. FIG. 1A depicts the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. The depth direction of the paper in FIG. 1A is referred to as the thickness direction or X-direction, the front side is referred to as one side in the thickness direction or "+X-direction," and the back side is referred to as the other side in the thickness direction or "-X-direction." Furthermore, the left-right direction in FIG. 1A is referred to as the width direction or Y-direction, the left side is referred to as one side in the width direction or "+Y-direction," and the right side is referred to as the other side in the width direction or "-Y-direction." 1A, the vertical direction is referred to as the length direction or Z direction, the upward direction is referred to as the upper side or "+Z direction," and the downward direction is referred to as the lower side or "-Z direction." Note that the direction in which the window glass rises and falls is sometimes referred to as the vertical direction (Z direction), and the upward direction of the window glass is sometimes referred to as the "+Z direction" and the downward direction of the window glass is sometimes referred to as the "-Z direction."

[0012] The window regulator 1 is supported on a door panel (not shown) of a vehicle and is a mechanism for moving a window glass (not shown), which is an object to be moved, up and down.

[0013] As shown in FIGS. 1A and 2, the window regulator 1 mainly includes a guide rail 31, a carrier plate 32, an ascending cable 33, a descending cable , and a drive unit .

[0014] The guide rail 31 is provided along the direction in which the window glass rises and falls (Z direction), and is a member that guides the carrier plate 32 in the direction in which the window glass rises and falls. The guide rail 31 extends generally in the vertical direction of the vehicle (Z direction), and more specifically, is inclined slightly obliquely with respect to the window glass to be installed.

[0015] 3 is a perspective view of the carrier plate 32 attached to the guide rail 31. The carrier plate 32 is a member that holds the lower end of the window glass and is engaged with the guide rail 31 to be slidably guided in the direction in which the window glass is raised and lowered. The carrier plate 32 rises and falls along the edge of the guide rail 31. The structure of the carrier plate 32 will be described in detail later.

[0016] At the upper end of the guide rail 31, an upper cable guide 45 (see FIG. 1A) is provided as a direction changing member for changing the moving direction of the ascending cable 33.

[0017] 1A and 2, a drive unit 35 for winding and unwinding the ascending cable 33 and the descending cable 34 is provided at the lower end of the guide rail 31. The drive unit 35 has a drum housing 51, a drum (not shown), and a drive motor 56. The drum housing 51 is attached to the lower end of the guide rail 31, and fixes the guide rail 31 to a door panel (not shown) of the vehicle.

[0018] The drum is rotatably supported by a drum housing 51. A drive motor 56 is attached integrally to the drum housing 51 and drives the drum to rotate in both forward and reverse directions.

[0019] The ascending cable 33 and the descending cable 34 pull the carrier plate 32 in the vertical direction (Z direction), and may be a known cable made of a plurality of metal wires or resin fiber wires twisted together. One end of the ascending cable 33 is connected to the carrier plate 32, is looped around the upper cable guide 45, and the other end is connected to the drum. One end of the descending cable 34 is connected to the carrier plate 32, and the other end is connected to the drum.

[0020] The drive motor 56 rotates the drum to wind and unwind the ascending cable 33 and the descending cable 34 .

[0021] 2, ends 33a and 34a are provided at one end of the ascending cable 33 or the descending cable 34. The ends 33a and 34a are formed, for example, by die-casting a metal material, and have a base end to which the end of the ascending cable 33 or the descending cable 34 is attached, and a flange portion with an outer diameter larger than that of the base end. The base end is formed in a cylindrical or truncated cone shape, and the end of the ascending cable 33 or the descending cable 34 is fixed by adhesive, welding, bolting, or other methods.

[0022] Coil springs 85 and 87 are attached to the ends 33a and 34a, respectively. The coil springs 85 and 87 are biasing members that bias the ends 33a and 34a in the direction of removing slack in the ascending cable 33 and the descending cable 34.

[0023] (2) Guide rail The guide rail 31 is a member that slidably engages with the carrier plate 32 to guide the rising and falling of the carrier plate 32, and extends in the direction of movement of the window glass, gently curved to match the curvature of the automobile window glass. The material of the guide rail 31 can be, for example, a metal such as galvanized steel plate, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy, or a hard resin, but is not particularly limited as long as it is a material with a predetermined rigidity that can guide the carrier plate 32.

[0024] (3) Drum housing The drum housing 51 has a main body 51a (see FIG. 1A) having a fitting portion for the guide rail 31 and a cylindrical drum accommodating portion. A cylindrical recess for accommodating the drum is formed in the main body 51a. An ascending-side cable guide groove 57 and a descending-side cable guide groove 59 are formed in the main body 51a to pass the ascending-side cable 33 and the descending-side cable 34 through the recesses and lead them out to the outside.

[0025] (4) Carrier plate structure Next, the structure of the carrier plate 32 in this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2 to Fig. 5. Fig. 4 is a partial perspective view of the other parts of the carrier plate as seen from one side in the thickness direction. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the carrier plate as seen from one side in the thickness direction.

[0026] 2 and 5, the carrier plate 32 has a main body 32a. The main body 32a is a base and may be a portion on which other structures are formed.

[0027] The main body 32a has a surface 32b (corresponding to the "second surface" of the present invention), a surface 32c (corresponding to the "first surface" of the present invention), an upper edge 32d, a lower edge 32e, one side edge 32f, and the other side edge 32g.

[0028] The surface 32b is a surface on one side (+X direction) in the thickness direction of the main body 32a, and the surface 32c is a surface on the other side (-X direction) in the thickness direction of the outer body 32a.

[0029] The upper edge 32d is located on the upper side (+Z direction) of the outer peripheral edge of the main body 32a, and is an edge that extends from an end located on one side in the width direction (+Y direction) to the other side in the width direction (-Y direction).

[0030] The lower edge 32e is located on the lower side (-Z direction) of the outer peripheral edge of the main body 32a, and is an edge that extends from an end located on one side in the width direction (+Y direction) to the other side in the width direction (-Y direction).

[0031] The one-side edge portion 32f is an edge that is located on one side in the width direction (+Y direction) of the outer peripheral edge of the main body 32a, and extends diagonally from the end located on the upper side (+Z direction) downward (-Z direction) to one side in the width direction (+Y direction).

[0032] The other side edge 32g is an edge that is located on the other side in the width direction (-Y direction) of the outer peripheral edge of the main body 32a, and extends diagonally from the end located on the upper side (+Z direction) downward (-Z direction) to one side in the width direction (+Y direction).

[0033] 2 and 5, the surface 32b is provided with an ascending-side end holder 79, a descending-side end holder 81 (corresponding to the "accommodating portion" of the present invention), and mounting portions 71 and 73. The ascending-side end holder 79 and the descending-side end holder 81 are provided on a surface 32b1 that is recessed toward the other side in the thickness direction (-X direction) than the surface 32b.

[0034] 2 and 5, a holder (not shown) for holding a window glass (not shown) is attached to the attachment portions 71 and 73. The holder is in the form of a plate having a predetermined thickness and a predetermined outer shape.

[0035] The mounting portion 71 is disposed at an end of one widthwise side (+Y direction) of the surface 32b, and has a wall 711 extending along the YZ plane at a position recessed by a predetermined length from the position in the thicknesswise direction (X direction) where the surface 32b is disposed to the other thicknesswise side (-X direction). The wall 711 has a wall surface formed into a predetermined outer shape when viewed from above in the thicknesswise direction (X direction). A hole 711a is disposed in the center of the wall surface for passing a bolt that fastens the holder. An edge 711b located on the lower side (-Z direction) of the periphery of the wall surface extends from one widthwise side (+Y direction) to the other widthwise side (-Y direction) along an arc equivalent to a semicircle (a semicircle having a predetermined radius from the center of the hole 711a).

[0036] Among the peripheries of the wall surface, edge 711c located on the other widthwise side (-Y direction) is an edge that extends diagonally from the end of edge 711b on the other widthwise side (-Y direction) toward the other widthwise side (-Y direction) with respect to the upward direction (+Z direction). Among the peripheries of the wall surface, edge 711d located on the upper side (+Z direction) is an edge that extends from the end of edge 711c on the upward direction (+Z direction) toward one widthwise side (+Y direction) and further extends upward (+Z direction). Edge 711e located on one widthwise side (+Y direction) of the wall surface is an edge that extends diagonally from the end of edge 711d on the upward direction (+Z direction) toward one widthwise side (+Y direction) with respect to the downward direction (-X direction) to the end of edge 711b on one widthwise side (+Y direction).

[0037] The mounting portion 73 is disposed at the end of the surface 32b on the other side in the width direction (-Y direction), and has a wall 731 extending along the YZ plane at a position recessed a predetermined length from the position in the thickness direction (X direction) where the surface 32b is disposed toward the other side in the thickness direction (-X direction). The wall 731 has a wall surface formed into a predetermined outer shape when viewed from above in the thickness direction (X direction). A hole 731a is disposed in the center of the wall surface for passing a bolt that fastens the holder. An edge 731b located on the lower side (-Z direction) of the periphery of the wall surface begins at an end located on one side in the width direction (+Y direction), and extends from that starting end to the other side in the width direction (-Y direction) along a semicircular shape having a predetermined radius centered at the position where the hole 731a is disposed.

[0038] Among the peripheries of the wall surface, edge 731c located on the other widthwise side (-Y direction) is an edge that extends obliquely from the end of 731b on the other widthwise side (-Y direction) upward (+Z direction) toward the other widthwise side (-Y direction). Among the peripheries of the wall surface, edge 731d located on the upper side (+Z direction) is an edge that extends from the end of edge 731c on the upper side (+Z direction) toward one widthwise side (+Y direction) and then extends further upward (+Z direction). The end of edge 731d on the upper side (+Z direction) is located at the same position as the end of upper edge portion 32d on the other widthwise side (-Y direction). Edge 731e on one widthwise side (+Y direction) of the wall surface is an edge that extends from the upper (+Z direction) end of edge 731d to the lower (-X direction) end of edge 731b on one widthwise side (+Y direction).

[0039] The rising end holder 79 accommodates the coil spring 85 and holds the end 33a.

[0040] The downward end holder 81 accommodates the coil spring 87 and holds the end 34a.

[0041] (Details of the lower edge 32e) Next, details of the lower edge portion 32e will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 6. FIG. 6 is a partial perspective view of a portion of the carrier plate as viewed from the other side in the thickness direction. As shown in FIG. 2, the lower edge portion 32e has a guide portion 74, a flow path portion 75, a communication portion 76, a drainage portion 77, and a protrusion portion 78. In the following description, the upstream end in the water flow direction may be referred to as the "upstream end" or "start end." Furthermore, the downstream end in the water flow direction may be referred to as the "downstream end" or "end end."

[0042] 2 to 4, guide portion 74 is provided on surface 32b and is a flange rising from a lower edge portion of surface 32b toward one side in the thickness direction (+X direction). When guide portion 74 guides the flow of water, the flange serves as the bottom of guide portion 74 that guides the water, and lower edge portion 32e of surface 32b serves as the wall portion of guide portion 74. Guide portion 74 has a first guide portion 741 and a second guide portion 742.

[0043] The first guide portion 741 is provided near the mounting portion 71, closer to one side in the width direction (+Y direction) than the second guide portion 742. The first guide portion 741 extends from an upstream end (starting end) whose position on the YZ plane is substantially the same as the end of the edge 711b on one side in the width direction (+Y direction) along the arc of the edge 711b to a position below (in the -Z direction) the center of the hole 711a, and further extends in a substantially linear manner from that position toward a downstream end (ending end) that is the center of the main body 32a in the width direction (Y direction). The first guide portion 741 is inclined obliquely downward with respect to the other side in the width direction (-Y direction). The downstream end (ending end) of the first guide portion 741 is connected to the upstream end (starting end) of the second guide portion 742. Furthermore, first guide portion 741 is connected so that water guided to guide portion 74 is guided to second guide portion 742. This makes it possible to prevent water from accumulating at the connection portion connecting first guide portion 741 and second guide portion 742.

[0044] In the range from the upstream end to the downstream end of the first guide portion 741, the height in the up-down direction (Z direction) of the wall portion 7411, which is the lower edge portion of the surface 32b, is approximately constant.

[0045] The region of surface 32b located at the center in the width direction (Y direction) is located closer to one side in the thickness direction (+X direction) than the region of surface 32b located on one side in the width direction (-Y direction). In other words, the region of surface 32b located at the center in the width direction (Y direction) protrudes more toward one side in the thickness direction (+X direction) than the region located on one side in the width direction. Due to the amount by which surface 32b protrudes toward one side in the thickness direction, the flange width at the downstream end (terminal end) of first guide portion 741 is narrower than the flange width at the upstream end (starting end) of first guide portion 741.

[0046] The second guide portion 742 has its upstream end (starting end) connected to the downstream end (terminal end) of the first guide portion 741, and extends from the upstream end to a position (terminal end position) near the descending end holder 81. The second guide portion 742 is inclined diagonally downward with respect to the other side in the width direction (-Y direction). The flange width of the second guide portion 742 is approximately the same as the flange width of the first guide portion 741 on the terminal end side.

[0047] In the second guide portion 742, the height of a wall portion 7421, which is the lower edge portion of the surface 32b, gradually decreases from the upstream end (starting end) to the downstream end (terminating end). A second wall portion 7422 is disposed between the wall portion 7421 and the descending-side end holder 81. The second wall portion 7422 is positioned a predetermined height above the wall portion 7421 (in the +Z direction). The second wall portion 7422 makes it possible to limit the amount of water guided by the second guide portion 742, and by preventing water from entering the descending-side end holder 81, it is possible to prevent the guide rail 31 and the like from being wet.

[0048] The flow path section 75 is a flange that rises from the lower edge of the surface 32b1 toward one side in the thickness direction (+X direction). The upstream end of the flow path section 75 is connected to the downstream end of the second guide section 742. The downstream end of the flow path section 75 is located on the other side in the width direction (-Y direction) from the upstream end. The downstream end of the flow path section 75 is connected to the upstream end of the communicating section 76. As a result, the flow path section 75 is connected such that the position of the end of the guide section 74 on the flow path section 75 side (the position of the upstream end of the flow path section 75) and the position of the communicating section 76 on the surface 32b1 side (the position of the downstream end of the flow path section 75) are offset in the direction in which the second guide section 742 extends (Y direction).

[0049] The flow path section 75 causes the water guided by the guide section 74 to flow from the surface 32b side to the surface 32c side. The direction in which the flow path section 75 guides the water only needs to have a directional component toward the other side in the thickness direction (-X direction), and may have an inclination angle with respect to the other side in the thickness direction (-X direction). The size of the inclination angle does not matter. The flow path section 75 is inclined downward (-Z direction) from the upstream end toward the downstream end. The flow path section 75 has a flange that rises from the lower edge of the surface 32b toward one side in the thickness direction (+X direction) to form a bottom, and the surface 32b1 forms a wall section 751.

[0050] The flange and wall 751, which are the bottom portions, are each inclined obliquely toward the other thickness direction side (-X direction) with respect to the other width direction side (-Y direction). As a result, the flow path portion 75 is inclined obliquely toward the other thickness direction side (-X direction) with respect to the other width direction side (-Y direction). The region (flange and wall 751) located on the other width direction side (-Y direction) of the flow path portion 75 is recessed toward the other thickness direction side (-X direction) from the wall 7421 of the second guide portion 742. It is sufficient that the flange and wall 751, which are the bottom portions, are each inclined obliquely toward the other thickness direction side (-X direction) with respect to the other width direction side (-Y direction), at least when the window is closed with the windowpane.

[0051] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the communicating portion 76 is provided on the surface 32c. The position of the surface 32c corresponds to the downstream end of the communicating portion 76. The communicating portion 76 penetrates the main body 32a in the thickness direction (X direction). The position of the surface 32b1 corresponds to the upstream end of the communicating portion 76. The upstream end of the communicating portion 76 is connected to the downstream end of the flow path portion 75. The communicating portion 76 is inclined downward (-Z direction) from the upstream end toward the downstream end. As a result, water flowing through the flow path portion 75 passes through the communicating portion 76 to the other side in the thickness direction (-X direction).

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the drainage portion 77 is provided on the surface 32c. The drainage portion 77 is connected to the downstream end (terminal end) of the communication portion 75. The drainage portion 77 has a protruding portion 78. The protruding portion 78 is located at the tip of the drainage portion 77, on the drainage side where water flows. Note that the protruding portion 78 only needs to be located at at least the tip of the drainage portion 77. The protruding portion 78 has a predetermined thickness and protrudes from the surface 32c toward the other side in the thickness direction (−Y direction). The drainage portion 77 extends diagonally downward from the downstream end (terminal end) of the communication portion 75 toward one side in the width direction (−Y direction). As a result, water that passes through the communication portion 76 is discharged via the drainage portion 77 along the protruding portion 78 to a position away from the guide rail 31, which is located on the one side in the width direction (−Y direction), thereby making it difficult for the guide rail 31 to become wet.

[0053] The carrier plate 32 in the above-described embodiment is a carrier plate to which a window glass is attached and which moves the window glass up and down, and has a surface 32c and a surface 32b opposite to surface 32c, and has a guide portion 74 provided on surface 32b that guides the flow of water toward surface 32b, and a flow path portion 75 that flows the water guided by the guide portion 74 from the surface 32b side to the surface 32c side, and the guide portion 74 has a first guide portion 741 and a second guide portion 742, and the first guide portion 741 is connected to the second guide portion 742 so that the water guided to the guide portion 74 is guided to the second guide portion 742.

[0054] With the above configuration, the flow of water is guided by the guide portion 74, etc., so that water does not accumulate. In turn, accumulated water does not spill out, so that components provided below the carrier plate can be prevented from being wet.

[0055] Furthermore, in the carrier plate 32 in the above embodiment, the surface 32c is provided with a communication portion 76 through which water passing through the flow path portion 75 passes. The water passes through the communication portion 76 and flows toward the surface 32c. Furthermore, water dropping from the surface 32c side is more likely to hit the back side of the door panel, etc., which can enhance the effect of preventing water from getting on components provided below the carrier plate 32.

[0056] Furthermore, the carrier plate 32 in the above embodiment further includes a drainage portion 77 that slides along the guide rail 31 and discharges water that has passed through the communication portion 76 at a position farther from the guide rail 31 than the communication portion 76. This makes it possible to prevent water flowing from the drainage portion 77 from splashing onto the guide rail 31. Furthermore, when the window is closed with the window glass, the carrier plate 32 tilts toward the surface 32c as shown in FIG. 1B, which makes it possible to actively splash water flowing from the drainage portion 77 onto the back side of the door panel. This further enhances the effect of preventing water from splashing onto components provided below the carrier plate 32.

[0057] Furthermore, in the carrier plate 32 according to the above embodiment, the guide portion 74, the flow path portion 75, and the communication portion 76 guide water in a vertically downward diagonal direction. This prevents water from pooling in the guide portion 74, etc. This in turn prevents water from getting on components provided below the carrier plate.

[0058] Furthermore, in the carrier plate 32 in the above embodiment, the drainage portion 77 has a protrusion 78 at the tip on the drainage side, and as water flows through the protrusion 78, the water that has passed through the communication portion 76 is discharged at a position farther from the guide rail 31 in the width direction of the guide rail 31 than the communication portion 76. This causes the tip of the protrusion 78 to be significantly separated from the guide rail 31, thereby enhancing the effect of making it difficult for water from the drainage portion 77 to splash on the guide rail 31.

[0059] Furthermore, the carrier plate 32 in the above embodiment further includes a second wall portion 7422 between the guide portion 74 and the descending-side end holder 81, which houses the end 34a of the descending-side cable 34 that pulls the carrier plate 32 downward, to limit the flow rate of water guided by the guide portion 74. This makes it possible to protect the end 34a and the like inside the descending-side end holder 81 from water.

[0060] Furthermore, in the carrier plate 32 according to the above embodiment, the carrier plate 32 has an attachment portion 71 for attaching a window glass, and the first guide portion 741 has one end provided near the attachment portion 71 and the other end connected to the second guide portion 742. The second guide portion 742 is provided near the descending-side end holder 81, has one end connected to the other end of the first guide portion 741, and the other end connected to the flow path portion 75. The first guide portion 741 is provided so as to extend in a substantially straight line from one end of the first guide portion 741 to the other end of the first guide portion 741. This allows the flow of water from the attachment portion 71 to be guided by the first guide portion 741, etc., thereby preventing water from accumulating. This in turn prevents water from getting on components provided below the carrier plate.

[0061] Furthermore, in the carrier plate 32 in the above embodiment, the region of the flow path portion 75 opposite to the guide portion 74 is recessed from the surface 32b toward the surface 32c. By recessing the opposite region from the surface 32b toward the surface 32c, the flow of water in the flow path portion 75 can be diverted from the surface 32b toward the surface 32c, and an increase in the thickness of the main body 32a in the thickness direction can be suppressed compared to when a flow path is provided that simply divertes the flow of water from the surface 32b toward the surface 32c.

[0062] Furthermore, in the carrier plate 32 of the above embodiment, the flow path portion 75 is connected so that the position of the end of the guide portion 74 on the flow path portion 75 side and the position of the end of the communication portion 76 on the surface 32b side are offset in the direction in which the second guide portion 742 extends. This allows water to be guided to the end of the main body 32a in the flow path portion 75. This in turn makes it possible to prevent water from getting on components provided below the carrier plate.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the communicating portion 76 is shown as a communicating hole that penetrates the main body 32a in the thickness direction (X direction), but the present invention is not limited to this, and it may also be a water channel that guides water from the surface 32b side to the surface 32c side.

[0064] Furthermore, the carrier plate 32 in the above embodiment prevents rainwater from splashing on the components provided below the carrier plate, but it also prevents washing water from splashing on the components when washing a vehicle.

[0065] In addition, the carrier plate 32 in the above embodiment is designed to prevent water from getting on the components located below the carrier plate, but the amount of water expected is the amount that would seep down from the holder that holds the window glass.

[0066] Furthermore, in the carrier plate 32 in the above embodiment, water guided by the guide portions 74 on the surface 32b side is discharged at the surface 32c, but it may be discharged at the surface 32b.

[0067] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the invention. In particular, the multiple embodiments and modifications described in this specification can be arbitrarily combined as necessary. [Industrial Applicability]

[0068] The present invention can be applied to a window regulator for driving the window glass of an automobile to move up and down. [Explanation of symbols]
