The present invention relates to a method of opening and closing a sunshade in conjunction with a sunroof opening / closing drive system.

[Conventional technology]

In general, there is a method in which a transparent sunroof is mounted on a roof of a vehicle so as to slide and open and close. In this case, a sunshade is similarly provided inside the sunroof so as to slide and open and close. The sunroof and the sunshade are combined in a certain relationship. That is, it is premised that the sunshade is closed when the sunroof is opened, the sunshade is prevented from being closed, the sunshade is prevented from fluttering during running, and the sunshade can be opened and closed independently when the sunroof is closed. I have.

In view of the above, a related art of this type of interlocking mechanism between a sunroof and a sunshade is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-139219. Here, an engaging portion is provided on the cover member of the sunroof and an engaged portion engageable with the engaging portion is provided on the sunshade shading member. When the cover member is opened, the engaging portion engages with the engaged portion. As a result, the awning member opens in conjunction with it,
It is disclosed that the closing operation of the sunshade member is prevented, and the opening operation of the sunshade member is enabled when the cover member is closed.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the above-mentioned prior art, since the engaged portion of the sunshade member contacts and engages in the opening direction of the engaging portion of the cover member, when the cover member operates from open to closed. , The interlocking relationship is not established. Therefore, when the cover member is closed, the awning member must be particularly closed, and the operability is poor, and the awning member is easily forgotten to be closed. Further, even if the cover member is electrically opened and closed, there is a problem that the sunshade member is not completely electrified and the effect is small.

The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sliding sunroof and a sunshade arranged in parallel to a roof side of a vehicle, not only when the sunroof is opened but also when the sunroof is fully closed. It is another object of the present invention to provide a sunshade opening / closing and interlocking device for a sunroof capable of improving the operability by interlocking a sunshade and closing the sunshade in an efficient manner.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a sunroof is mounted on a roof window of a roof so as to be openable and closable by movement of a driving slider fitted to a rail of an opening / closing device, and a sunshade is mounted on the rail of the driving slider inside the sunroof. A sunshade opening / closing and interlocking device that opens and closes the sunshade in conjunction with the sunroof that is loosely fitted and slidably mounted on a sunshade rail arranged in parallel along and slides open and closed by movement of the drive slider. An operating pin provided on the driving slider, and a lever provided on the sunshade side and engaging with the operating pin, wherein the lever is provided with a projection at the center and moves forward with respect to the operating pin behind the projection. Locking part to prevent is formed, and the rear end can swing to sunshade side with pin Axle-mounted, and held horizontally with a spring force being urged to the opposite side of the protrusion, and in the fully closed position of the sunroof and the sunshade, the operating pin is positioned forward with respect to the protrusion of the lever. In response to the rearward movement of the drive slider, the operating pin pushes the projection to interlock the sunshade and simultaneously engage so as to allow the sunshade to open independently, and when the sunroof and the sunshade are fully open, the operating pin Is positioned rearward with respect to the protrusion of the lever, and the operating pin pushes the protrusion to engage the sunshade in conjunction with the forward movement of the drive slider, so that the drive slider slides by opening and closing the sunshade. When the sunshade is fully opened or fully closed, the lever The actuating pin against the stop by moving by swinging the lever against the spring force, and changes the engagement position of the actuating pin for the projection of the lever.

[Action]

Based on the above configuration, the projection of the lever provided on the sunshade side engages with the operating pin provided on the drive slider of the sunroof opening / closing device provided slidably on the roof window of the roof and interlocks. In the fully closed position of the sunroof and the sunshade, the operating pin is located in front of the protrusion, and in this engagement position, the sunshade is independently moved rearward without any obstacle against the rearward movement of only the sunshade. In addition, when the sunroof is opened, the operating pin moves by pushing the protrusion of the lever from the front to the rear, so that the sunshade is opened in conjunction therewith. In the fully opened position of the sunroof and the sunshade, the operating pin is located behind the projection, and the forward movement of the lever with respect to the operating pin is prevented by the locking portion provided behind the projection of the lever. The inconvenience of being unable to move the sunroof forward, preventing only the sunshade from being closed at the fully opened position of the sunroof, and being unable to confirm the open state of the sunroof from inside the vehicle is avoided. Also, in this state, when the sunroof is closed, the operating pin moves by pushing the protrusion of the lever from the rear to the front, so that the sunshade also closes in conjunction with it.

And, since the drive slider is made to overstroke with respect to the sunroof for opening and closing the sunshade, the operating pin swings the lever against the spring force even if the lever stops at the fully opened or fully closed position of the sunshade. Move over the protrusion. Thereby, the engagement position of the operating pin in the fully open or fully closed position is switched back and forth with respect to the projection.

In the fully closed position, the pin 31 overstrokes from the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 3 (b) to the position indicated by the solid line in accordance with the distance l before and after the projection 35a and fully opens. In the position, the pin 31 reversely overstrokes from the solid line to the position indicated by the chain line. Therefore, the sunshade-side stopper 39a is provided to be shorter than the sunroof-side stopper 19a by the above-described distance l, and the other stopper 39b is also provided to be shorter than the stopper 19b by the distance l.

Next, the operation of this configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (d).

First, in the fully closed position of the sunroof 4, in the opening and closing device 10 of the sunroof 4, the driving slider 16 moves to the foremost, and the rollers 14 and 22 move to the front inclined portions of the front rail 11 and the rear rail 12 as shown in FIG. Fall position. This allows
The sunroof 4 descends horizontally at the forefront, and is completely closed on the same surface as the roof 2 in conformity with the roof window 3. At this time, the fifth
In the sunshade opening / closing and interlocking device 30 as shown in FIG. 9A, the operating pin 31 first engages with the rear portion of the projection 35a of the lever 35, and the sunshade 4 closes when the sunroof 4 closes.
Also moves forward to reach the fully closed position and is regulated by the stopper 39a. Next, the drive slider 16 further overstrokes to the fully closed position of the sunshade 5 so that the operating pin 31 swings the lever 35 upward and projects.
After moving over 35a, it moves forward and reaches the fully closed position of the sunroof 4 described above. Thus, in the fully closed position, the engagement of the operating pin 31 changes from the rear part to the front part of the projection 35a of the lever 35, whereby the sunshade 5 can be independently moved backward and opened, and The sunshade 5 can be opened in conjunction therewith.

Next, pull the drive cable 18 with the motor to
When the sun 16 is moved rearward, the sunroof 4 is lifted while being moved rearward by the link 17 and the bracket 13, and is guided to the upper rear portion of the roof 2 by the bracket 21. Thus, the sunroof 4 slides backward to open the roof window 3, and at this time, as shown in FIG. 5B, the sunshade 5 is also opened by the engagement between the operating pin 31 and the projection 35a. In this case, it is possible to manually open only the sunshade 5 with the sunroof 4 half-open.

Immediately before the sunroof 4 is fully opened, the sunshade 5 reaches the fully opened position again and is regulated by the stopper 39b.
Then, the drive slider 16 further overstrokes and the fifth
As shown in FIG. 3C, the operating pin 31 moves behind the protrusion 35a while swinging the lever 35, and reaches the fully open position of the sunroof 4. Thus, at the fully open position, the engagement of the operating pin 31 changes from the front to the rear of the projection 35a, and the projection 35a
The independent closing operation of the sunshade 5 is prevented by the locking portion formed at the rear. On the other hand, the sunshade 5 can be closed in conjunction with the sunroof 4.

Further, when the drive slider 16 is moved forward by pushing the drive cable 18, the sunroof 4 is also moved forward to close the roof window 3, contrary to the above, and at this time, as shown in FIG. The sunshade 5 also closes in conjunction with the engagement relationship between the sunshade 5 and the projection 35a. In this case, when the sunroof 4 is in the semi-closed state, further closing or opening of the sunshade 5 alone is prevented. Then, by bringing the sunroof 4 to the fully closed position, it returns to the state of FIG. 5 (a).

The opening and closing operation of the sunroof 4 and the sunshade 5 has been described above. When the sunroof 4 is fully closed from the half-open state, the sunroof 4 is temporarily moved to the fully open position to establish the interlocking relationship with the sunshade 5. The sunshade 5 is linked and closed.

 In addition, this invention is not limited only to the above-mentioned embodiment.

[Effect of the invention]

As described above, according to the present invention, in a configuration in which the sunshade is arranged parallel to the sliding sunroof of the vehicle roof, the sunshade is connected to the driving slider of the sunroof via the opening / closing / interlocking device, and The operability is improved because the sunshade is linked even when the shutter is closed only when it is opened. Further, when the sunroof is electrically driven, the sunshade can be completely electrically driven.

Furthermore, since the opening / closing / interlocking device changes the engagement relationship between the operating pin and the protrusion of the lever between the fully closed position and the fully open position, the operation is ensured, and the interlocking operation is performed even when opening and closing from a half open or half closed state. Can do.

In addition, when the sunroof is opened from fully closed, the sunshade is linked to the sunroof, and the sunshade only can be opened independently.When the sunroof is closed from fully closed, the sunshade is linked to the sunroof, but only the sunshade is prohibited. Therefore, forgetting to close the sunroof caused by closing the sunshade with the sunroof open can be prevented.

Further, since the change of the engagement relationship is automatically performed based on a stroke difference between the sunshade and the sunroof, the structure is simplified and the driving of the cable is facilitated.
