[Figure 2] This is an example of a perspective view of the first carrier plate of this embodiment. [Figure 3] This is an example of a rear view of the first carrier plate of this embodiment.

[Figure 5] This diagram shows a first modified example of the arrangement of the first carrier plate, the lifting cable, the intermediate cable, and the contact member, and is a schematic view from the rear. [Figure 6]This diagram shows a second modified example of the arrangement of the first carrier plate, the lifting cable, the intermediate cable, and the contact member, and is a schematic view from the rear. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the object moving device 100 according to this embodiment. In this specification, the object moving device 100 shown in Figure 1 is defined as being viewed from the front. The definition of the front view is the same for Figures 2 to 6 described later. Figure 1 shows the object moving device 100 when it is attached to the inner panel of a vehicle door.

[0011] The object moving device 100 shown in Figure 1 is applied, for example, to a railless type window regulator that is attached to the inner panel of a vehicle door and raises and lowers the vehicle's window glass. In this embodiment, the object to be moved is, for example, the window glass of a vehicle.

[0012] The object moving device 100 comprises two moving bodies (first carrier plate 10, second carrier plate 12) to which the object to be moved is attached, two cable guides (first cable guide 20, second cable guide 22), two pulley sections (first pulley section 30, second pulley section 32), a drive unit 40, and a cable 50.

[0013] The two moving bodies are, for example, the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 12. On these carrier plates 10 and 12, for example, a window glass of a vehicle (not shown) is attached as an object to be moved. When an application example of the object moving device 100 is a window regulator, the moving directions of the two carrier plates 10 and 12 are the raising and lowering directions (raising direction, lowering direction) of the window glass of the automobile, which is the object to be moved. In FIG. 1, the upward direction on the paper surface is the raising direction, and the downward direction on the paper surface is the lowering direction. When the object moving device 100 is attached to the inner panel of the vehicle, when the two carrier plates 10 and 12 rise, the object to be moved rises, and when the two carrier plates 10 and 12 descend, the object to be moved descends. Details of the carrier plates 10 and 12 will be described later.

[0014] Note that the above-mentioned "raising direction" corresponds to the "first direction" of the present invention, and the above-mentioned "lowering direction" corresponds to the "second direction" of the present invention.

[0015] The cable guides 20 and 22 are an example of a direction-changing member that changes the moving direction of the cable 50. The cable guides 20 and 22 have, for example, a semi-circular member that passes the cable 50 and changes the moving direction, and are arranged below the pulley parts 30 and 32 at a certain distance from the pulley parts 30 and 32.

[0016] The pulley parts 30 and 32 are members that support the rotation axis of the pulley. The pulley changes the moving direction of the cable 50. The pulley parts 30 and 32 are also an example of a direction-changing member that changes the moving direction of the cable 50.

[0017] The drive unit 40 moves the two carrier plates 10 and 12 in the raising and lowering directions by winding and unwinding the cable 50. The drive unit 40 includes, for example, a drum (not shown) around which the cable 50 is wound, a motor 46, and a power transmission unit (not shown) that transmits the rotation of the motor to the drum. The power transmission unit is, for example, a worm gear.

[0018] The cable 50 transmits the driving force of the driving unit 40 to the carrier plates 10 and 12, and moves the carrier plates 10 and 12 in the vertical direction. The cable 50 is, for example, a flexible wire obtained by twisting metal strands, resin fiber strands, etc.

[0019] The cable 50 includes a lifting cable 52 for lifting the two carrier plates 10 and 12, a lowering cable 54 for lowering the two carrier plates 10 and 12, and an intermediate cable 56 provided between the lifting cable 52 and the lowering cable 54.

[0020] More specifically, the lifting cable 52 lifts the first carrier plate 10 and, via the intermediate cable 56, also lifts the second carrier plate 12. That is, for the second carrier plate 12, the intermediate cable 56 also functions as a lifting cable. The lowering cable 54 lowers the second carrier plate 12 and, via the intermediate cable 56, also lowers the first carrier plate 10. That is, for the first carrier plate 10, the intermediate cable 56 also functions as a lowering cable.

[0021] The lifting cable 52 is laid between the first carrier plate 10 and a drum (not shown). One end of the lifting cable 52 is connected to the first carrier plate 10, and the other end is connected to the drum. A first pulley portion 30 is arranged between the first carrier plate 10 and the driving unit 40.

[0022] The lowering cable 54 is laid between the second carrier plate 12 and a drum (not shown). One end of the lowering cable 54 is connected to the second carrier plate 12, and the other end is connected to the drum. A second cable guide 22 is arranged between the second carrier plate 12 and the driving unit 40.

[0023] The intermediate cable 56 is laid between the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 12. One end of the intermediate cable 56 is connected to the first carrier plate 10, and the other end is connected to the second carrier plate 12. A first cable guide 20 and a second pulley section 32 are positioned between the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 12.

[0024] In the section where the ascending cable 52 is laid, the section between the drum (not shown) and the first pulley section 30 is covered by an outer casing 58 to protect the ascending cable 52. In the section where the descending cable 54 is laid, the section between the drum and the second cable guide 22 is covered by an outer casing 58 to protect the descending cable 54. In the section where the intermediate cable 56 is laid, the section between the first cable guide 20 and the second pulley section 32 is covered by an outer casing 58 to protect the intermediate cable 56.

[0025] Next, the operation of the object moving device 100 will be explained with reference to Figure 1.

[0026] For example, when the motor 46 rotates in the forward direction, the rotational motion of the motor 46 is transmitted to the drum (not shown) via the power transmission unit (not shown), causing the drum to rotate in the forward direction. In this case, the lifting cable 52 is wound onto the drum, and the lowering cable 54 is unwound from the drum. When the lifting cable 52 is wound onto the drum and the lowering cable 54 is unwound from the drum, the first carrier plate 10 is raised by the lifting cable 52, and the second carrier plate 12 is raised by the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56.

[0027] On the other hand, when the motor 46 rotates in the reverse direction, the rotational motion of the motor 46 is transmitted to the drum (not shown) via the power transmission unit (not shown), causing the drum to rotate in the reverse direction. In this case, the lowering cable 54 is wound onto the drum, and the raising cable 52 is unwound from the drum. When the lowering cable 54 is wound onto the drum and the raising cable 52 is unwound from the drum, the second carrier plate 12 is lowered by the lowering cable 54, and the first carrier plate 10 is lowered by the lowering cable 54 and the intermediate cable 56.

[0028] Next, the detailed structure of the carrier plates 10 and 12 will be described with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Figure 2 is an example of a perspective view of the first carrier plate 10. Figure 3 is an example of a rear view of the first carrier plate 10. However, for convenience, the lifting cable 52 and intermediate cable 56 are also shown in Figures 2 and 3.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 12 have similar functions despite some differences in shape. Therefore, the first carrier plate 10 will be used as an example for explanation, and the second carrier plate 12 will not be described. However, the first carrier plate 10 is connected to an end member 116 at one end of the ascending cable 52, which functions as an ascending cable, and an end member 118 at one end of the intermediate cable 56. In contrast, the second carrier plate 12 differs from the first carrier plate 10 in that it is connected to an end member at the other end of the intermediate cable 56 and an end member at one end of the descending cable 54, which functions as a descending cable.

[0030] The first carrier plate 10 is made of resin, for example, and has at least a main body portion 110 that supports the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56, a contact member support portion 120 that supports the contact member 122 described later, and an extension portion 130.

[0031] The main body 110 has a first connection part 115 to which the end member 116 of one end of the lifting cable 52 is connected, and a second connection part 117 to which the end member 118 of one end of the intermediate cable 56 is connected. The main body 110 also has a first cable groove 111 (see Figure 2) and a second cable groove 113 (see Figure 2).

[0032] The first cable groove 111 (see Figure 2) is a groove into which the lifting cable 52 engages. The second cable groove 113 (see Figure 2) is a groove into which the intermediate cable 56 engages. As shown in Figure 2, the first cable groove 111 and the second cable groove 113 are parallel in the front-to-back direction when viewed from the front. Details of the first cable groove 111 and the second cable groove 113 will be described later.

[0033] The contact member support portion 120 is integrally formed with the main body portion 110 and supports the contact member 122. The contact member 122 is a member that can come into contact with the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56, but details will be described later.

[0034] The extension portion 130 is integrally formed with the main body portion 110 and extends in a direction intersecting the upward direction of the first carrier plate 10 (to the left in the plane of Figure 3). A first connecting portion 115 is formed on this extension portion 130, and an elastic member 132 is provided on this first connecting portion 115. By providing the elastic member 132 on the first connecting portion 115, it is possible to mitigate the impact that may occur on the first carrier plate 10 when the force that raises the first carrier plate 10 acts on the lifting cable 52. In this embodiment, the end member 116 is, for example, a cylindrical member made of resin, and the elastic member 132 is, for example, a coil spring that is fitted onto the cylindrical end member 116.

[0035] Next, with reference to Figure 4, the details of the first cable groove 111, the second cable groove 113, and the contact member 122 will be described. Figure 4 shows an example of the arrangement of the first carrier plate 10, the lifting cable 52, the intermediate cable 56, and the contact member 122, and is a schematic diagram viewed from the rear.

[0036] The first cable groove 111 (see Figure 2) has a curved portion 111A that curves in an arc shape with respect to the upward direction of the first carrier plate 10 (upward direction in Figure 4). The lifting cable 52 is engaged with the first cable groove 111 so as to be arc-shaped in the curved portion 111A. More specifically, in the curved portion 111A, the lifting cable 52 changes direction from the upward direction of the first carrier plate 10 (upward direction in Figure 4) to a direction intersecting this upward direction (leftward direction in Figure 4), and one end is connected to the first connection portion 115. In this way, the first cable groove 111 can be miniaturized by having a curved portion 111A. Note that the first cable groove 111 has an opening on the convex side of the curved portion 111A, that is, the side opposite the bottom of the groove (the direction in which the lifting cable 52 falls out), more specifically, the radially outer side of the arc. Furthermore, the first cable groove 111 also has a straight section in addition to the curved section 111A, but this is not essential. The "curved section 111A" described above corresponds to the "first curved section" of the present invention.

[0037] The second cable groove 113 (see Figure 2) has a curved portion 113A that curves in an arc shape relative to the downward direction of the first carrier plate 10 (downward direction in Figure 4). The intermediate cable 56 is engaged with the second cable groove 113 so as to be arc-shaped in the curved portion 113A. In the curved portion 113A, the direction of the intermediate cable 56 is changed from the downward direction of the first carrier plate 10 (downward direction in Figures 2 and 3) to a direction intersecting this downward direction (leftward direction in Figure 3), and one end is connected to the second connection portion 117. In this way, the second cable groove 113 can be miniaturized by having a curved portion 113A. Note that the second cable groove 113 has an opening on the convex side of the curved portion 113A, that is, the side opposite the bottom of the groove (the direction in which the intermediate cable 56 falls out), more specifically, the radially outer side of the arc. Furthermore, the second cable groove 113 also has a straight section in addition to the curved section 113A, but this is not essential. The "curved section 113A" described above corresponds to the "second curved section" of the present invention.

[0038] The contact member 122 is a member having a flat portion 122A, and this flat portion 122A is provided so as to be aligned with the vertical direction (up and down direction in the plane of the paper in Figure 4) of the first carrier plate 10 (see Figures 1 to 3).

[0039] In this embodiment, the first cable groove 111 is formed, for example, between position B and position G shown in Figure 4, and the curved portion 111A is formed between position B and position F. The second cable groove 113 is formed, for example, between position E and position A shown in Figure 4. That is, the space between position B and position E shown in Figure 4 is formed so that both the first cable groove 111 and the second cable groove 113 are in parallel.

[0040] The lifting cable 52 engages with the first cable groove 111 between positions C and G shown in Figure 4. The intermediate cable 56 engages with the second cable groove 113 between positions D and A shown in Figure 4. That is, between positions C and D, the lifting cable 52 is engaged with the first cable groove 111, and the intermediate cable 56 is engaged with the second cable groove 113.

[0041] The contact member 122 is a single contact member 122, and is provided such that its flat portion 122A can contact both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 between positions C and D shown in Figure 4. In this embodiment, more specifically, the single contact member 122 is provided to contact both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56.

[0042] However, the object moving device 100 of this embodiment is a railless type, and there is a risk that the orientation of the first carrier plate 10 may not be stable. Also, since the first cable groove 111 has a curved portion 111A and the second cable groove 113 has a curved portion 113A, the first carrier plate 10 is prone to tilting due to the rotational moment acting on it (a rotational moment acting counterclockwise in the plane of Figure 4). Furthermore, because the first carrier plate 10 of this embodiment is relatively compact, it is difficult to change the structure to suppress the tilting of the first carrier plate 10.

[0043] In this embodiment, the flat portion 122A of the contact member 122, which is provided along the vertical direction of the first carrier plate 10, is brought into contact with the lifting cable 52 that engages with the first cable groove 111 and the intermediate cable 56 that engages with the second cable groove 113. By doing so, in the railless object moving device 100, it is possible to stabilize the posture of the first carrier plate 10, and consequently the posture of the object to be moved (for example, a vehicle window) attached to the first carrier plate 10. Furthermore, even if the first carrier plate 10 has a structure that is prone to tilting, having curved portions 111A and 113A that open on the convex side, it is possible to suppress the tilting of the first carrier plate 10 and prevent the cables (lifting cable 52, intermediate cable 56) from falling off.

[0044] In this embodiment, the contact member 122 is a plate-shaped member, but it is not limited to this, and it is sufficient that it has a surface that can contact the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56. Therefore, the surface that contacts the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 does not need to be flat, and may, for example, be a surface that follows the shape of the cables (lifting cable 52, intermediate cable 56).

[0045] Furthermore, the contact member 122 may contact the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 so as to include the entire area between position C and position D, or it may contact the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 in part between position C and position D.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a single contact member 122 is brought into contact with both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 between positions C and D. That is, a single contact member 122 is in contact with both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 at the same location in the vertical direction of the first carrier plate 10. As a result, the number of parts is reduced, and the tilt of the first carrier plate 10 is suppressed and the posture of the first carrier plate 10 is stabilized with a simple configuration.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the flat portion 122A of the contact member 122, which contacts both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56, is aligned with the vertical direction of the first carrier plate 10. As a result, the first carrier plate 10 is supported along the vertical direction, and it is possible to suppress tilting of the first carrier plate 10 with respect to the vertical direction.

[0048] Furthermore, it is not essential that the flat portion 122A of the contact member 122 is always in contact with both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56. For example, the flat portion 122A of the contact member 122 may not always be in contact with the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56, but may only make contact when the orientation of the first carrier plate 10 is tilted. Alternatively, the contact member may make contact before the window glass is attached to the first carrier plate 10, and the contact may be released after the window glass is attached to the first carrier plate 10.

[0049] Furthermore, it is preferable to provide the contact member 122 on both the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 12, as this makes it less likely for both the first carrier plate 10 and the second carrier plate 12 to tilt. However, this is not limited to this, and the contact member 122 may be provided on either the first carrier plate 10 or the second carrier plate 12. In addition, an extension portion extending toward the contact member 122 may be provided on the portion of the main body 110 that faces the contact member 122, so that the contact portion 122 and the extension portion are always in contact. This prevents the contact member and 110 from coming into contact and generating abnormal noise due to vehicle vibrations, etc.

[0050] (modified version) Although the above-described embodiments are presented as examples of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible as long as they are within the scope of the claims. For example, the above-described contact member 122 can be changed to the modified contact member 124 shown in Figure 5 or Figure 6.

[0051] (First variation) Figure 5 shows a first modified example of the arrangement of the first carrier plate 10, the lifting cable 52, the intermediate cable 56, and the contact member 124, and is a schematic diagram as viewed from the rear. In Figure 5, components common to Figure 4 are given the same reference numerals as in Figure 4 and their descriptions are omitted.

[0052] The first modified example of the contact member 124 includes a first contact member 126 and a second contact member 128. The first contact member 126 and the second contact member 128 are separate components, but both are supported by a contact member support portion 120 (see Figures 2 and 3).

[0053] The first contact member 126 has a flat portion 126A, which is positioned along the vertical direction of the first carrier plate 10 (the vertical direction in the plane of Figure 5). At position C shown in Figure 5, the first contact member 126 is positioned such that the flat portion 126A contacts both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56.

[0054] The second contact member 128 has a flat portion 128A, and is positioned vertically such that the flat portion 128A is aligned with the vertical direction of the first carrier plate 10 (the vertical direction in the plane of Figure 5), and more specifically, the flat portion 126A and the flat portion 128A are on the same plane. The second contact member 128 is positioned at position D shown in Figure 5 so as to contact both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56.

[0055] In this way, by making contact with both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 at two points toward the first cable groove 111 and the second cable groove 113, respectively, it is possible to suppress the tilt of the first carrier plate 10 and stabilize the posture of the first carrier plate 10.

[0056] The first contact member 126 and the second contact member 128 are provided to contact both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 at positions C and D, respectively, but the contact points are not limited to positions C and D. For example, the first contact member 126 and the second contact member 128 may be made to contact the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 at any two points between positions C and D.

[0057] Furthermore, although the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 are in contact at two points, C and D, the contact points are not limited to two. For example, an additional contact member may be provided between C and D that contacts the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56. In other words, it is not limited to contacting both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56 at two points, but may be made to contact at three or more points.

[0058] (Second variation) Figure 6 shows a second modified example of the arrangement of the first carrier plate 10, the lifting cable 52, the intermediate cable 56, and the contact member 124, and is a schematic diagram viewed from the rear. In the second modified example, the position of the contact member 124 differs from that of the first modified example. Note that in Figure 6, all components, including the contact member 124 with a different position, are denoted by the same reference numerals as in Figure 5. In the second modified example, only the contact member 124 with a different position from that of the first modified example will be described, and the descriptions of the other components will be omitted.

[0059] The abutment member 124 of the second modified example includes a first abutment member 126 and a second abutment member 128, which are supported by a abutment member support portion 120 (see Figures 2 and 3), similar to the abutment member 124 of the first modified example. The first abutment member 126 and the second abutment member 128 are separate components.

[0060] Similar to the first modified example, the first contact member 126 is provided such that its flat portion 126A is aligned with the vertical direction of the first carrier plate 10 (the vertical direction in the plane of Figure 6). However, the first contact member 126 is provided at a position above position C shown in Figure 6. Therefore, the flat portion 126A of the first contact member 126 contacts only the upward cable 52 of the upward cable 52 and not the intermediate cable 56.

[0061] Similar to the first modified example, the second contact member 128 is provided vertically such that its planar portion 128A is aligned with the vertical direction of the first carrier plate 10 (the vertical direction in the plane of Figure 6). However, the second contact member 128 is provided at a position lower than position D shown in Figure 6. Therefore, the planar portion 128A of the second contact member 128 contacts only the intermediate cable 56 of the two lifting cables 52 and does not contact the lifting cable 52. In this second modified example, it is not essential that the planar portion 126A and the planar portion 128A are on the same plane.

[0062] Thus, even when the first contact member 126 is brought into contact with the lifting cable 52 and the second contact member 128 is brought into contact with the intermediate cable 56, it is possible to suppress the tilting of the first carrier plate 10 and stabilize the posture of the first carrier plate 10.

[0063] In addition to the first contact member 126 located above position C and the second contact member 128 located below position D, a contact member may also be provided between position C and position D to contact both the lifting cable 52 and the intermediate cable 56.

[0064] Although embodiments and modifications have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and modifications described above, and various modifications are possible as long as they are within the scope of the claims. The embodiments and modifications described above mainly describe the invention having the following configuration.
