[Figure 8] This diagram shows the relative positions of the guide rail, drive unit, and carrier plate when the carrier plate is located near the top of the guide rail. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] The embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0012] (Overview of window regulators) The window regulator 100 according to the embodiment of this disclosure is mounted, for example, on the door of a vehicle. The window regulator 100 transmits driving force to a carrier plate via a cable by winding and unwinding the cable, thereby moving the window glass (window) attached to the carrier plate.

[0013] Figure 1 shows an example of the configuration of the window regulator 100. Figure 1 shows an example where the window regulator 100 is attached to the inner panel of the vehicle's back door, that is, the door located on the rear of the vehicle. In other words, Figure 1 is a view of the window regulator 100 attached to the back door, as seen from the rear of the vehicle. The following explanation will use the directions shown in Figure 1.

[0014] The vertical and horizontal directions shown in Figure 1 correspond to the vertical and horizontal directions, respectively, relative to a vehicle on which the window regulator 100 is attached to the back door. In Figure 1, the direction towards the viewer corresponds to the rear of the vehicle, and the direction towards the back of the page corresponds to the front of the vehicle.

[0015] However, the directions shown in Figure 1 are examples only, and the window regulator of this disclosure does not necessarily have to be installed in a direction corresponding to the directions illustrated in Figure 1.

[0016] In the example shown in FIG. 1, the window regulator 100 includes two guide rails 10, four pulley brackets 20, a cable 30, a drive unit 40, and two carrier plates 50. However, the window regulator 100 shown in FIG. 1 is an example, and the window regulator of the present disclosure may be, for example, a window regulator including one guide rail, two direction-changing members, a cable, a drive unit, and one carrier plate, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a window regulator that moves the carrier plate by the drive unit via the cable.

[0017] (Configuration of the guide rail 10) The two guide rails 10 each extend in the moving direction of the window glass and are arranged substantially parallel to each other. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the extending direction of the guide rail 10 and the moving direction of the window glass are different from the vertical direction in FIG. 1, but in the present disclosure, the moving direction of the window glass and the vertical direction of the window regulator may coincide. The guide rail 10 supports the carrier plate 50 so as to be movable and guides the movement of the carrier plate 50. The guide rail 10 is an example of the guide member of the present disclosure.

[0018] (Configuration of the pulley bracket 2)0) The pulley bracket 20 is a member that supports the rotation axis of the pulley that changes the moving direction of the cable 30, and a pulley is rotatably supported on the rotation axis. The pulley is an aspect of the direction-changing member that changes the moving direction of the cable 30. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the pulley brackets 20 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the two guide rails 10, respectively.

[0019] (Configuration of the cable 30) The cable 30, which is a power transmission member, is a member for transmitting the driving force of the drive unit 40 to the carrier plate 5o. The cable 30 is, for example, a flexible wire formed by twisting metal strands, resin fiber strands, etc. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the cable 30 is composed of three cables 30a, 30b, and 30c.

[0020] One end of the cable 30a is connected to the drive unit 40. The cable 30a extends from the drive unit 40 toward the pulley bracket 20 provided on the upper end of the left guide rail 10, and further toward the right carrier plate 50 which engages with the guide rail 10. The other end of the cable 30a is connected to the carrier plate 50.

[0021] One end of cable 30b is connected to a carrier plate 50 provided on the left guide rail 10. This cable 30b extends from the carrier plate 50 toward a pulley bracket 20 provided on the lower end of the guide rail 10. Furthermore, the cable 30b extends from the pulley bracket 20 toward a pulley bracket 20 provided on the upper end of the right guide rail 10. The other end of cable 30b is connected to a carrier plate 50 provided on the guide rail 10.

[0022] One end of the cable 30c is connected to the drive unit 40. This cable 30c extends from the drive unit 40 toward the pulley bracket 20 provided at the lower end of the right-side guide rail 10, and further toward the right-side carrier plate 50 which engages with the guide rail 10. The other end of the cable 30c is connected to the right-side carrier plate 50.

[0023] In the example shown in Figure 1, the portion of the cable 30 from the drive unit 40 to the pulley brackets 20 provided on the left and right guide rails 10 is covered by an outer casing 31 to protect the cable 30.

[0024] (Configuration of the drive unit 40) The drive unit 40 is a device that moves the carrier plate 50 by winding and unwinding the cable 30.

[0025] The drive unit 40 includes, for example, a drum around which the cable 30 is wound, a drum housing that houses the drum, a motor, and a power transmission unit such as a worm gear that transmits the rotation of the motor to the drum. In the example shown in Figure 1, the drive unit 40 is fixed to the right-hand guide rail 10.

[0026] When the motor rotates in the forward direction, the rotational motion of the motor is transmitted to the drum via the power transmission unit, causing the drum to rotate in the forward direction. In this case, cable 30a is wound onto the drum and cable 30c is unwound from the drum. As a result, the two carrier plates 50 rise along each of the two guide rails 10.

[0027] On the other hand, when the motor rotates in the opposite direction, the drum rotates in the opposite direction. In this case, cable 30c is wound onto the drum and cable 30a is unwound from the drum. As a result, the two carrier plates 50 descend along each of the two guide rails 10.

[0028] (Configuration of carrier plate 50) The carrier plate 50 is a component that moves up and down along the guide rail 10 while holding the window glass. Note that the window glass is not shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows the carrier plate 50 positioned near the longitudinal center of the guide rail 10.

[0029] The carrier plate 50 is equipped with multiple discharge structures for discharging liquids that may seep in from the outside when the vehicle is exposed to a liquid such as water, after the window regulator 100 has been attached to the vehicle door. Furthermore, the multiple discharge structures on the carrier plate 50 are arranged on the carrier plate 50 to prevent liquids from entering the gaps between the multiple discharge structures. The structure of the carrier plate 50, including the multiple discharge structures according to the embodiment of this disclosure, will be described in detail below.

[0030] Figures 2 and 3 are diagrams illustrating the first surface 51 and the second surface 52 of the carrier plate 50, respectively. The first surface 51 shown in Figure 2 is the outer surface of the carrier plate in Figure 1, and the second surface 52 shown in Figure 3 is the inner surface in Figure 1.

[0031] In Figures 2 and 3, similar to Figure 1, the first surface 51 or the second surface 52 is shown to be approximately parallel to the vertical and horizontal directions when the window regulator 100 is mounted on the vehicle.

[0032] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the first surface 51 of the carrier plate 50, seen from diagonally above.

[0033] Figures 2 to 4 show the structure of the left carrier plate 50 in the window regulator 100 shown in Figure 1. In the example shown in Figure 1, the structure of the right carrier plate 50 in the window regulator 100 is formed symmetrically to the structure of the left carrier plate 50 illustrated in Figures 2 to 4. However, this disclosure is not limited to this example, and if the window regulator of this disclosure has multiple carrier plates, each carrier plate may have the same structure.

[0034] In the examples shown in Figures 2 to 4, the carrier plate 50 has a main body portion 53, a first mounting portion 54, a second mounting portion 55, and a support member 56.

[0035] The main body portion 53 is the part that constitutes the main body of the carrier plate 50. The main body portion 53 is formed of, for example, a metal material. The first mounting portion 54, the second mounting portion 55, and the support member 56 are attached to the main body portion 53 from the first surface 51 side.

[0036] The first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 are made of, for example, resin. At least a part of the discharge structure provided by the carrier plate 50 is formed on the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55.

[0037] The first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 each have a convex structure (such as a projection) formed on them for attachment to the main body portion 53. On the other hand, the main body portion 53 has a concave structure (such as a hole) formed on it, along with the aforementioned structure, for fixing the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 to the main body portion 53. The first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 are attached to and fixed to the main body portion 53 by fitting the structures formed on the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 into the holes formed on the main body portion 53.

[0038] The support member 56 is a member for supporting the window glass. The support member 56 has a base structure for supporting the window glass. In this embodiment, the support member 56 is made of resin or the like.

[0039] In this way, by forming the first mounting portion 54, the second mounting portion 55, and the support member 56 using resin and attaching them to the main body portion 53 which is made of metal, the overall weight of the carrier plate 50 can be reduced compared to when the entire carrier plate 50 is made of metal. Furthermore, although various protrusions such as the discharge structure described later are formed on the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55, forming the first mounting portion 54 and the second mounting portion 55 separately from the main body portion 53 simplifies the manufacturing process compared to when the entire carrier plate 50 is integrally formed. In addition, it is possible to prevent cracks in the resin that may occur when the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62, which have complex shapes, are integrally formed.

[0040] Furthermore, the carrier plate 50 includes a first discharge structure 61 and a second discharge structure 62.

[0041] The first discharge structure 61 is a structure for discharging liquid that has entered from above to the first side. In the examples shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first side is the left side of the vehicle. Accordingly, the first discharge structure 61 is located to the left of the second discharge structure 62.

[0042] The first discharge structure 61 is a plate-shaped structure that protrudes by a predetermined width from a first mounting portion 54 attached to the main body portion 53 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface constituting the main body portion 53. The plate-shaped structure of the first discharge structure 61 includes a plurality of curved portions.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2, the plate-like structure of the first discharge structure 61 comprises a first upper end portion 611, a first curved portion 612, a first guide portion 613, and a first discharge portion 614.

[0044] The first upper end portion 611 is a structure provided near the upper and right end of the first discharge structure 61. The first upper end portion 611 is positioned vertically apart from the second upper end portion 621 (details to be described later) of the second discharge structure 62, and they overlap each other such that the second upper end portion 621 is below it in the direction of liquid fall.

[0045] The right end of the first upper end portion 611 is provided with a first curved portion 612 that curves toward the direction of fall (i.e., downward). The first curved portion 612 is formed in such a way that some of the liquid that enters from above and hits the first discharge structure 61, and falls from the first upper end portion 611, falls downward rather than to the right.

[0046] The first guide section 613 is a structure for guiding most of the liquid that enters from above and reaches the first discharge structure 61 to the left. The first guide section 613 has a structure that slopes downward as it moves to the left. Furthermore, the first guide section 613 is formed to have a steeper slope than other structures included in the first discharge structure 61. As a result, the first guide section 613 can suitably guide the liquid to the left.

[0047] The first discharge section 614 is a structure formed at the left end of the first discharge structure 61. The first discharge section 614 discharges the liquid guided by the first guide section 613 to the left. For this reason, the first discharge section 614 is inclined downwards as it moves to the left, similar to the first guide section 613, but the inclination is gentler than that of the first guide section 613. As a result, the liquid is forcefully discharged to the left from the first discharge section 614. Therefore, the liquid discharged from the first discharge section 614 is discharged to the left of the entire window regulator 100, for example, inside the door of a vehicle. This makes it difficult for the liquid to reach at least one of the components of the window regulator 100 located below the first discharge structure 61, such as the guide rail 10 and the cable 30.

[0048] The second discharge structure 62 is designed to discharge liquid that has entered from above to the second side, which is opposite to the first side. In the examples shown in Figures 2 and 3, the second side is the right side of the vehicle. Accordingly, the second discharge structure 62 is positioned to the right of the first discharge structure 61.

[0049] The second discharge structure 62 is a plate-shaped structure that protrudes by a predetermined width from a second mounting portion 55 attached to the main body portion 53 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface constituting the main body portion 53. The plate-shaped structure of the second discharge structure 62 includes a plurality of curved sections. The width of the plate-shaped structure of the second discharge structure 62 that protrudes from the first mounting portion 54 may be the same as, for example, the width of the plate-shaped structure of the first discharge structure 61 that protrudes from the second mounting portion 55, or it may be different. As will be described later, since a part of the second discharge structure 62 is located below a part of the first discharge structure 61, it is more desirable for the width of the second discharge structure 62 to be wider than the width of the first discharge structure 61 from the viewpoint of preventing liquid that has entered from above from being directed toward the components of the window regulator 100 located below the second discharge structure 62.

[0050] As shown in Figure 2, the plate-like structure of the second discharge structure 62 comprises a second upper end portion 621, a second curved portion 622, a second guide portion 623, a flat portion 624, a third guide portion 625, and a second discharge portion 626.

[0051] The second upper end portion 621 is a structure provided near the upper and left end of the second discharge structure 62. As described above, the second upper end portion 621 and the first upper end portion 611 are positioned apart from each other in the vertical direction, and they overlap each other such that the second upper end portion 621 is below in the direction of liquid fall.

[0052] The left end of the second upper end portion 621 is provided with a second curved portion 622 that curves in the opposite direction to the direction of fall (i.e., upward). Because the first upper end portion 611 and the second upper end portion 621 overlap each other in the direction of liquid fall, and because the upward-curving second curved portion 622 is provided, liquid falling from the first upper end portion 611 (first curved portion 612) of the first discharge structure 61 does not penetrate to the left of the second upper end portion 621.

[0053] The second guide section 623 and the third guide section 625 are structures designed to guide liquids that have entered from above and directly hit the second discharge structure 62, as well as liquids that have fallen from the first discharge structure 61, further to the right. The second guide section 623 and the third guide section 625 have a structure that slopes downward as they move to the right. In the example shown in Figure 2, the third guide section 625 is formed to have a steeper slope than the second guide section 623.

[0054] A flat section 624 is provided to the right of the second guide section 623, between the second guide section 623 and the third guide section 625. The flat section 624 is a portion with a gentler slope than the second guide section 623 and the third guide section 625. In the examples shown in Figures 2 and 3, the flat section 624 is hardly sloped when the window regulator 100 is mounted on the vehicle. However, this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the flat section 624 may be slightly sloped downwards as it moves to the right, as long as its slope is gentler than the second guide section 623 and the third guide section 625 described later.

[0055] The flat section 624 is a structure designed to collect tiny droplets of liquid that have entered from above the second discharge structure 62, and to combine them into droplets of a certain size or larger, allowing them to flow to the right. For example, if the liquid that enters from above the window regulator 100 is in the form of tiny droplets, the droplets may not gather together but instead stick to the inclined surfaces of the second guide section 623 and the third guide section 625 due to intermolecular forces, preventing them from flowing to the right.

[0056] The flat section 624 is intentionally formed with a gentle slope, which allows it to collect minute droplets and form droplets larger than a certain size. When the larger droplets generated by the flat section 624 reach the third guide section 625, which is located to the right of the flat section 624 and has a steep slope, they are more likely to flow to the right along the slope of the second guide section 623 than if they remained as minute droplets. This improves the efficiency of the second discharge structure 62 as a whole in discharging droplets to the right.

[0057] The flat portion 624 is formed to overlap with the weight-reducing portion 551 of the second mounting portion 55 that constitutes the carrier plate 50. The weight-reducing portion 551 is a portion formed so that the resin forming the second mounting portion 55 is thinner than other parts. By forming the flat portion 624 to overlap with the weight-reducing portion 551, the reduction in strength of the second mounting portion 55 at the weight-reducing portion 551 can be mitigated.

[0058] The second discharge section 626 is a structure formed at the right end of the second discharge structure 62. The second discharge section 626 discharges the liquid guided by the third guide section 625 to the right. For this reason, the second discharge section 626 is inclined downward as it moves to the right, similar to the second guide section 623 and the third guide section 625, but the inclination is gentler than that of the second guide section 623 and the third guide section 625. As a result, the liquid is forcefully discharged to the right from the second discharge section 626. Therefore, the liquid discharged from the second discharge section 626 is discharged to the right of the carrier plate 50, for example, inside the door of a vehicle. This makes it difficult for the liquid to reach at least one of the components of the window regulator 100 located below the second discharge structure 62, such as the guide rail 10 and the cable 30.

[0059] The first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 of the carrier plate 50 have been described above. The first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 are provided on the first surface 51 side of the carrier plate 50, that is, on the surface that faces the outside of the vehicle when the window regulator 100 is attached to the vehicle. Liquid that has entered from above the window regulator 100 is discharged in a divided left-right direction along the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62. As a result, the liquid can be suitably discharged toward areas where there are no guide rails 10 or cables 30 that may rust when exposed to liquids such as water.

[0060] The discharge structure of the carrier plate 50 is divided into a first discharge structure 61 and a second discharge structure 62, and the first mounting portion 54 on which the first discharge structure 61 is provided and the second mounting portion 55 on which the second discharge structure 62 is provided are formed separately. This makes the manufacturing process easier compared to when the entire carrier plate 50 is formed as a single unit. Furthermore, even if the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 have complex shapes as shown in Figure 2, they can be easily formed, and problems such as reduced strength and cracking of the parts that may occur when complex shapes are formed as a single unit can be avoided.

[0061] As shown in Figures 2 and 4, the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 are arranged to avoid region R on the first surface 51.

[0062] Although not shown in Figures 2 to 4, an engaging member for attaching the carrier plate 50 to the guide rail 10 is attached to the second surface 52 side of the carrier plate 50 corresponding to this region R.

[0063] Figure 5 shows how the engaging member 70 is fixed to the second surface 52 side of the carrier plate 50. The engaging member 70 has, for example, a projection (not shown), and is fixed to the main body 53 by fitting the projection into a hole formed in the region R shown in Figure 2.

[0064] Figure 6 illustrates the state in which the carrier plate 50 is engaged with the guide rail 10 by the engaging member 70. Figure 6 shows a view of the carrier plate 50 and the guide rail 10 from above, with the carrier plate 50 located near the top of the guide rail 10. As shown in Figure 6, the carrier plate 50 is engaged with the guide rail 10 by housing the engaging member 70 inside the guide rail 10. The engaging member 70 is movable inside the guide rail 10 along the guide rail 10, and consequently, the carrier plate 50 is also movable along the guide rail 10.

[0065] Figures 7 and 8 show the positional relationship between the guide rail 10, the drive unit 40, and the carrier plate 50 when the carrier plate 50 is located at approximately the top of the guide rail 10. The carrier plate 50 shown in Figures 7 and 8 is the right-hand carrier plate in Figure 1.

[0066] Figure 7 shows the components of the window regulator 100, specifically the guide rail 10, the drive unit 40, and the carrier plate 50, viewed from an oblique angle above. As shown in Figure 7, directly below the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 provided on the carrier plate 50 are parts that may rust when exposed to liquid, such as the guide rail 10 and the cable 30. Therefore, the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 of the carrier plate 50 allow for the appropriate discharge of liquid that has entered the window regulator 100 from coming into contact with parts that may rust due to the liquid. Although not shown in the illustration, the left carrier plate 50 shown in Figure 1 can also be similarly discharged using the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62, preventing it from coming into contact with parts that may rust due to the liquid.

[0067] Figure 8 shows the drive unit 40 and the carrier plate 50 viewed from above. As shown in Figure 8, the first discharge structure 61 and the second discharge structure 62 described above are formed on the first surface 51 side of the carrier plate 50. On the other hand, the drive unit 40 is positioned on the second surface 52 side of the carrier plate 50. In this way, the discharge structures of the carrier plate 50 and the drive unit 40 are positioned so that their front-to-back positions do not overlap. Therefore, the liquid discharged from the first discharge section 614 of the first discharge structure 61 passes behind the drive unit 40 and does not come into contact with the drive unit 40.

[0068] The carrier plate 50 and the window regulator 100 equipped with the carrier plate 50 according to the embodiments of this disclosure have been described above. This disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the claims.

[0069] In the embodiments described above, the window regulator 100 was described in a manner in which it is attached to the back door of a vehicle. The window regulator of this disclosure may be provided, for example, on the side door of a vehicle. Furthermore, the vehicles on which the window regulator of this disclosure is installed may include various types of vehicles, such as passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
