Description

  The present invention relates to a rectifying structure for an open / close roof car in which, for example, in an automobile having an openable / closable open / close roof, a deflector for rectifying running wind flowing in the upper part of the vehicle is developed when the open / close roof is opened.

  In an automobile having an openable openable / closable roof at the upper part of a passenger compartment in which an occupant rides, in a so-called open car, when the open / close roof is closed (closed state), traveling wind from the front of the vehicle follows the vehicle body surface to the rear of the vehicle To flow.

  On the other hand, in the state where the open / close roof is open (open state), the traveling wind does not flow stably to the rear of the vehicle due to the opening at the top of the vehicle. The flow changes.

For this reason, in a state where the open / close roof is opened, it is caused by noise (so-called entanglement sound) caused by the traveling wind flowing so as to be caught in the passenger compartment, or by collision between the window frame material supporting the windshield and the traveling wind. Noise (so-called wind noise) may be generated. Thus, the specific noise in the state in which the open / close roof is opened becomes a factor that causes discomfort to the occupant.
Therefore, various techniques for suppressing noise peculiar to a state in which the open / close roof is opened have been proposed.

  For example, in Patent Document 1, in an automobile having an open / close roof that opens and closes by removing a roof portion, an air deflector provided at a front edge of an opening that is closed by the open / close roof is provided above the vehicle when the open / close roof is opened. In addition, an air deflector device has been proposed that includes elevating support means that can move substantially inward in the vehicle width direction.

  The elevating support means disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a mounting bracket that is mounted on the vehicle body side, and a substantially flat link that has one end pivotally supported by the mounting bracket and the other end pivotally supported by the air deflector. A plurality are arranged at predetermined intervals in the width direction.

  Furthermore, the elevating type support means of Patent Document 1 moves the air deflector by the urging force of a torsion coil spring attached to one of the plurality of links. Thereby, patent document 1 is supposed that an air deflector can be raised / lowered with a simple structure, and the peculiar noise in the state which opened the opening-and-closing roof can be suppressed.

  By the way, patent document 1 stores an air deflector (henceforth a deflector) against the urging | biasing force of a coil spring because an opening / closing roof presses when installing an opening / closing roof. For this reason, in a state where the open / close roof is closed, the deflector of Patent Document 1 is stored in a state where the upper end of the deflector is in contact with the open / close roof due to the biasing force of the coil spring.

  In such a retracted state, when repeated input due to road surface unevenness is applied to the vehicle, in Patent Document 1, the deflector repeatedly swings in the vehicle vertical direction, and the deflector may come into strong contact with the open / close roof. For this reason, in the storage state of patent document 1, there existed a possibility that the coating of an opening-and-closing roof might peel off or the upper end of a deflector might be damaged, for example.

  In view of the above-described problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a deflector structure for an open / close roof vehicle that can prevent damage to the deflector and the open / close roof when the open / close roof is closed.

  According to the present invention, an openable / closable roof that covers an upper part of a vehicle in an openable / closable manner, a front frame end of the openable / closable roof abuts, a window frame member that supports a front window glass, and a support that can protrude upward and downward from the window frame member. And a rectifying structure for an open / close roof vehicle in which the deflector is raised by the urging means when the open / close roof is opened, and includes a front end of the open / close roof. Providing in the vicinity of at least one projecting member projecting forward of the vehicle, and providing a recess in the upper part of the window frame member toward the front of the vehicle and allowing insertion of the projecting member, An opening hole that allows the protruding member to be inserted is provided in a portion that faces the recess, and when the open / close roof is closed, The lower surface position of the projecting member facing the projecting member is the lower end of the projecting member, and the lower surface position of the opening / closing roof facing the projecting member lower end on the vehicle is the lower end of the opening / closing roof. The opening is formed so that the length in the vehicle vertical direction to the lower end of the opening hole is substantially equal to the length in the vehicle vertical direction from the lower end of the projecting member to the lower end of the opening / closing roof.

  The open / close roof is an open / close roof that can be folded to the rear of the vehicle, or an open / close roof from which the roof portion can be removed, and a soft top made of hood cloth or hood bone, or a hard top made of a metal roof. It can be.

The window frame material may be a frame material made of a steel plate or a frame material in which a trim or garnish is mounted on a frame material made of a steel plate.
When the open / close roof is opened, for example, in the open / close roof stored so as to be folded at the rear of the vehicle, the front end of the open / close roof starts to be separated from the window frame member.

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent damage to the deflector and the open / close roof when the open / close roof is closed.
Specifically, in a state where the open / close roof is closed, the protruding member is inserted into the recess of the window frame member through the opening hole of the deflector.

  At this time, since the vertical length from the lower end of the projecting member to the lower end of the open / close roof and the vertical length from the lower end of the opening hole to the lower end of the open / close roof are substantially equal, in the state where the open / close roof is closed, the deflector is The opening hole is stored in contact with the lower surface of the protruding member by the urging force of the urging means.

  Thereby, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can regulate the urging force of the urging means and the rise of the deflector due to the unevenness of the road surface. For this reason, for example, even when the open / close roof and the upper end of the deflector are in contact with each other, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle strongly presses the open / close roof with the upper end of the deflector due to the biasing force of the biasing means and the unevenness of the road surface. Can be prevented.

  Therefore, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can prevent the deflector and the open / close roof from being damaged by restricting the lift of the deflector with the open / close roof closed by the opening hole and the protruding member.

As an aspect of the present invention, the deflector can include an extending portion that extends from the lower end of the opening hole toward the rear of the vehicle.
According to the present invention, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can prevent the open / close roof from being damaged and can guide the deflector to the storage position.

  Specifically, when storing the deflector in the storage position, which is the position of the deflector when the open / close roof is closed, when the open / close roof presses the upper end of the deflector against the biasing force of the biasing means, the open / close roof There is a risk of damage to the open / close roof and the upper end of the deflector due to the contact between the deflector and the deflector.

  Therefore, by providing the extended portion at the lower end of the opening hole, the lower surface of the protruding member can come into contact with the extended portion of the deflector when the open / close roof moves toward the concave portion of the window frame member. Then, when the projecting member presses the extending portion, the open / close roof can store the deflector in the storage position against the urging force of the urging means. In other words, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can stabilize the deflector in the retracted position by the protruding member.

  Thereby, for example, even when the open / close roof is closed while being in contact with the upper end of the deflector, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can prevent the open / close roof from pressing the upper end of the deflector. For this reason, compared with the case where an open / close roof presses the upper end of a deflector, the rectification | straightening structure of an open / close roof vehicle can suppress damage to an open / close roof and a deflector.

Furthermore, since the contact area between the deflector and the projecting member can be secured more widely by the extended part, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof car more reliably regulates the urging force of the urging means and the rise of the deflector due to the unevenness of the road surface. can do.
Therefore, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can guide the deflector to the retracted position by the extending portion that contacts the protruding member, and can prevent the open / close roof and the deflector from being damaged.

Further, as an aspect of the present invention, the length of the deflector in the vehicle vertical direction from the lower end of the opening hole to the upper end of the deflector with respect to the length in the vehicle vertical direction from the lower end of the projecting member to the lower end of the opening / closing roof. Can be formed in a short shape.
According to the present invention, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can more reliably prevent damage to the deflector and the open / close roof.

  Specifically, for example, when storing in a state where the opening / closing roof and the upper end of the deflector are in contact with each other, even if the opening of the deflector is restricted by the opening hole and the protruding member, the opening / closing is performed by external input such as unevenness on the road surface. The roof and the upper end of the deflector may slide to cause damage to the open / close roof and the deflector.

  Therefore, by forming the deflector so that the length in the vehicle vertical direction from the lower end of the opening hole to the upper end of the deflector is shorter than the length in the vertical direction of the vehicle from the lower end of the protruding member to the lower end of the opening and closing roof, The rectifying structure of the roof vehicle can prevent the upper end of the deflector from coming into contact with the open / close roof.

Thereby, in a state where the open / close roof is closed, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can prevent the open / close roof and the deflector from being damaged due to external inputs such as road surface unevenness.
Further, for example, when an extension part is provided at the lower end of the opening hole, the upper end of the deflector and the open / close roof do not come into contact with each other. The protruding member can be contacted more reliably.

For this reason, the rectifying structure for the open / close roof vehicle can store the deflector without bringing the open / close roof and the upper end of the deflector into contact with each other.
Therefore, the rectifying structure of the open / close roof vehicle can prevent damage to the deflector and the open / close roof more reliably by adopting a configuration in which the upper end of the deflector does not contact the open / close roof.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a rectifying structure for an open / close roof vehicle capable of preventing damage to the deflector and the open / close roof when the open / close roof is closed.

Forming. The torsion spring 33 is configured to generate a biasing force in a direction opposite to the rotation direction when the deflector 32 rotates downward with the shaft portion 31 as the rotation center.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the torsion spring 33 has a portion extending from one end wound in a coil shape locked to the upper end of the deflector 32, and a portion extending from the other end wound in a coil shape is trimmed. The extension 126 is locked to the front wall 126c.

  Next, in the deflector device 30 having the above-described configuration, an operation when the deflector 32 moves from the deployment position to the storage position and an operation when the deflector 32 moves from the storage position to the deployment position will be described.

  First, when the open / close roof 20 is opened and the open / close roof 20 is closed by an occupant's operation, the open / close roof 20 unfolds the roof front portion 21 and the roof rear portion 22 that have been folded, while the vehicle interior 8 Move up.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12, the opening / closing roof 20 moves from the upper side of the vehicle toward the lower side of the vehicle, up to the position where the front end thereof faces the window frame member 10 in the vehicle front-rear direction, as shown in FIG. At this time, the positioning member 25 of the opening / closing roof 20 comes into contact with the receiving portion 325 of the deflector tip 321 and presses the deflector 32 downward in the vehicle.

  When pressed downward by the positioning member 25, the deflector 32 moves downward in the vehicle while resisting the urging force of the torsion spring 33 with the axial direction of the shaft portion 31 as the center of rotation, as shown in FIGS. Start rotating toward.

  When the opening / closing roof 20 moves to a position facing the window frame member 10 in the vehicle front-rear direction, the opening / closing roof 20 moves forward of the vehicle and inserts the positioning member 25 into the recess 142 a of the positioning base 142. Thereby, the opening / closing roof 20 is restricted from moving in the vehicle width direction.

  At this time, the deflector 32 is moved to the retracted position in a state where the lower end of the opening hole 324 is in contact with the lower surface of the positioning member 25 due to the biasing force of the torsion spring 33 and the lower end position of the opening hole 324 in the deflector tip 321. To do.

  On the other hand, when the opening / closing roof 20 is opened, the pressure applied by the opening / closing roof 20 is released, so that the deflector 32 is moved upwardly of the vehicle around the shaft portion 31 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 8 by the urging force of the torsion spring 33. Start rotating to. Then, when the contact surface 323a of the stopper portion 323 of the deflector 32 contacts the extended bottom portion 126a of the trim extending portion 126 in the rotation direction, the deflector 32 is completely moved to the desired deployment position.

The rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 that realizes the operation as described above can prevent the deflector 32 and the opening / closing roof 20 from being damaged when the opening / closing roof 20 is closed.
Specifically, in a state where the open / close roof 20 is closed, the positioning member 25 is inserted into the recess 142 a of the window frame member 10 through the opening hole 324 of the deflector 32.

  At this time, since the vertical length H1 from the open / close roof 20 to the positioning member 25 and the vertical length H2 from the open / close roof 20 to the opening hole 324 are substantially equal, the deflector 32 is in a state where the open / close roof 20 is closed. The opening hole 324 is stored in contact with the lower surface of the positioning member 25 by the urging force of the torsion spring 33.

  Thereby, the rectification | straightening structure of the vehicle 1 can regulate the raise of the deflector 32 by the urging | biasing force of the torsion spring 33, or the unevenness | corrugation of a road surface. For this reason, for example, even when the opening / closing roof 20 and the upper end of the deflector 32 are in contact with each other, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 is such that the upper end of the deflector 32 is opened / closed by the urging force of the torsion spring 33 and the unevenness of the road surface. Can be prevented from being pressed strongly.

  Therefore, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 prevents the deflector 32 and the opening / closing roof 20 from being damaged by restricting the lift of the deflector 32 in the state where the opening / closing roof 20 is closed by the opening hole 324 and the positioning member 25. Can do.

  Further, by providing the deflector 32 with the receiving portion 325 extending from the lower end of the opening hole 324, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can prevent the opening / closing roof 20 from being damaged and can guide the deflector 32 to the retracted position. it can.

  Specifically, when retracting the deflector 32 in the retracted position, which is the position of the deflector 32 when the open / close roof 20 is closed, the open / close roof 20 presses the upper end of the deflector 32 against the urging force of the torsion spring 33. In such a case, the upper and lower roofs 20 and 32 may be damaged by the contact between the opening and closing roof 20 and the deflector 32.

  Therefore, by providing the receiving portion 325 at the lower end of the opening hole 324, when the open / close roof 20 moves toward the recess 142 a of the window frame member 10, the lower surface of the positioning member 25 contacts the receiving portion 325 of the deflector 32. You can touch.

  When the positioning member 25 presses the receiving portion 325, the opening / closing roof 20 can store the deflector 32 in the storage position against the urging force of the torsion spring 33. In other words, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can stabilize the deflector 32 in the retracted position by the positioning member 25.

  Thereby, for example, even when the open / close roof 20 is closed while being in contact with the upper end of the deflector 32, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can prevent the open / close roof 20 from pressing the upper end of the deflector 32. For this reason, compared with the case where the opening / closing roof 20 presses the upper end of the deflector 32, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can suppress damage to the opening / closing roof 20 and the deflector 32.

Furthermore, since the contact area between the deflector 32 and the positioning member 25 can be secured more widely by the receiving portion 325, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 more reliably raises the deflector 32 due to the urging force of the torsion spring 33 and road surface unevenness. Can be regulated.
Therefore, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can guide the deflector 32 to the retracted position by the receiving portion 325 in contact with the positioning member 25 and can prevent the opening / closing roof 20 and the deflector 32 from being damaged.

  Further, since the deflector 32 is formed in a shape in which the vertical length H3 from the opening hole 324 to the upper end of the deflector tip 321 is shorter than the vertical length H1 from the opening / closing roof 20 to the positioning member 25, the rectification of the vehicle 1 is performed. The structure can more reliably prevent damage to the deflector 32 and the open / close roof 20.

  Specifically, for example, when storing with the opening / closing roof 20 and the upper end of the deflector 32 being in contact with each other, even if the opening of the deflector 32 is restricted by the opening hole 324 and the positioning member 25, the outer surface of the road surface such as unevenness The open / close roof 20 and the upper end of the deflector 32 may slide due to the target input, and the open / close roof 20 and the deflector 32 may be damaged.

  Therefore, by forming the deflector 32 so that the vertical length H3 from the opening hole 324 to the upper end of the deflector tip 321 is shorter than the vertical length H1 from the opening / closing roof 20 to the positioning member 25, the vehicle 1 The rectifying structure can prevent the upper end of the deflector 32 from coming into contact with the open / close roof 20.

Thereby, in the state where the opening / closing roof 20 is closed, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can prevent the opening / closing roof 20 and the deflector 32 from being damaged due to external inputs such as road surface unevenness.
Further, for example, when the receiving portion 325 is provided at the lower end of the opening hole 324, the upper end of the deflector 32 and the opening / closing roof 20 do not come into contact with each other, so that the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 is connected to the receiving portion 325 of the deflector 32. The positioning member 25 of the opening / closing roof 20 can be brought into contact more reliably.

For this reason, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can move the deflector 32 to the retracted position without bringing the opening / closing roof 20 and the upper end of the deflector 32 into contact with each other.
Therefore, the rectifying structure of the vehicle 1 can prevent damage to the deflector 32 and the open / close roof 20 more reliably by adopting a configuration in which the upper end of the deflector 32 does not contact the open / close roof 20.

In the above-described embodiment, the hard top type vehicle 1 configured by the roof front portion 21 and the roof rear portion 22 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the soft top type configured by a hood cloth or a hood bone. The vehicle 1 may be used.
In addition, although the opening / closing roof 20 is stored so as to be folded toward the storage space toward the rear of the vehicle, the opening / closing roof is not limited thereto, and an opening / closing roof in which the roof portion at the top of the vehicle can be removed may be used.

  Further, although the deflector 32 avoids the collision of the traveling wind to the deck cover 23 protruding upward of the vehicle, the present invention is not limited to this, and a roll bar disposed behind the driver seat, an antenna disposed in the vehicle rear portion 7, It is good also as the deflector 32 which avoids a collision with quarter glass, a center pillar, a driver seat, or a driver, and driving | running | working wind. At this time, the cross-sectional shape of the deflector 32 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle may be formed in an appropriate shape according to a desired deflection direction of the traveling wind.

  The deflector 32 protrudes above the window frame member 10 with the shaft portion 31 provided in the window frame member 10 as the rotation center. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the deflector has an opening hole 324 that allows the positioning member 25 to be inserted. Any appropriate operation and configuration may be used.

For example, it may be a deflector that translates from the storage position to the upper side of the vehicle and outward in the vehicle width direction, or a deflector that translates from the storage position to the upper side of the vehicle and inward in the vehicle width direction.
Further, the torsion spring 33 has been described as the urging means for urging the deflector 32. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any suitable urging means such as a torsion bar spring can be used as long as the deflector 32 can be raised and lowered. There may be.

Moreover, although the recessed part 142a was provided in the positioning base 142 comprised separately from the header panel 123 and the header trim 125, as long as it is a structure which accept | permits the insertion of the positioning member 25 as an appropriate structure, it is not limited to this. Also good.
For example, a recess formed integrally with the header panel 123 or a recess formed in the header trim 125 may be used. Or it is good also as a recessed part formed in the header panel 123 and the header trim 125. FIG.

  In addition, the positioning pedestals 142 are disposed at both ends of the window frame member 10 in the vehicle width direction. However, the positioning pedestals 142 may be disposed at appropriate positions in the vehicle width direction without being limited thereto. In this case, the positioning member 25 of the open / close roof 20 and the opening hole 324 of the deflector 32 are configured to face the positioning base 142 in the vehicle front-rear direction.
