Vehicle Sliding Door Wire Holder Fine Adjustment Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing invisible sliding door guide structures for vehicles face challenges in adjusting the fixed position of wires used for opening and closing operations, leading to interlocked motor and vehicle body operations that affect the door's pop-up and sliding positions, making it difficult to achieve intended door movements and compromising the appearance and internal space of the vehicle.
Innovation Solution
A finely adjustable wire holder with a holder body fixed to the vehicle body, featuring nut parts and adjusting bolts that allow precise positioning of the wire end, enabling convenient adjustment of the wire's fixed position between nut parts, and a window for confirming the wire's position, facilitating fine adjustments without occupying additional space.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If wire fixing means from prior art is used to adjust the fixed position of the wire, then the door opening and closing operation can be adjusted, but it is significantly inconvenient to apply and adjust
Solution Approach 1:
The wire holder is divided into multiple functional segments: a holder body for mounting, adjusting bolts for position adjustment, nut parts for securing the wire, and a fixer for final fixation. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function efficiently, making the overall adjustment process convenient while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire holder is pre-configured with adjusting bolts and nut parts in specific positions on the holder body. The wire is preliminarily positioned between the two nut parts before final fixation. This preliminary arrangement simplifies the adjustment process by eliminating the need for complex prior preparations or specialized tools.
2Reliability
If the wire fixed position is not precisely adjusted, then the structure is simple, but the motor power is lost due to wire looseness and door operation is affected
Solution Approach 1:
The wire holder incorporates adjustable elements (adjusting bolts and nut parts) that allow the wire position to be dynamically adjusted to achieve optimal tension. This dynamic adjustment capability ensures reliable motor power transmission while maintaining a relatively simple structure that can be adapted to different installation conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention replaces complex mechanical wire fixing mechanisms with a simplified system using standard threaded components (bolts and nuts). This substitution maintains the ability to precisely control wire tension and position while significantly reducing structural complexity and ease of assembly.
3Ease of operation
If traditional rail structures are installed on ceiling surface and bottom surface, then the sliding door can be guided, but much space of ceiling portion and bottom portion is occupied
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts the wire from the traditional visible rail structure and integrates it into an invisible guide system. The wire is positioned within the vehicle body structure, eliminating the need for prominent external rails and maximizing internal space while maintaining sliding door guidance functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The wire holder is mounted on the vehicle body in a position that utilizes the vertical dimension effectively. By positioning the wire holder and wire in three-dimensional space within the vehicle structure rather than on external surfaces, the design guides the sliding door without occupying valuable ceiling or bottom space.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the wire position is adjusted to optimize door operation, then door open amount and speed can be controlled, but additional adjustment components are needed
Solution Approach 1:
The adjusting bolts serve multiple functions: they position the wire holder on the vehicle body, adjust the wire tension, and secure the assembly. The nut parts simultaneously guide the wire and provide adjustment reference points. This multi-functionality achieves door operation adaptability without requiring numerous separate adjustment components.
