Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a power window switch structure in which a window glass is opened and closed by operating a manual switch provided in a vehicle interior.

Window glass, for example, a door window glass installed on a car door so that it can be opened and closed, is a manual type in which the door window glass is opened and closed by operating a regillator handle attached to the door panel and moving the door window glass vertically. There is also a power window type in which the door window glass is opened and closed by operating a forward/reverse motor by operating a manual switch installed inside the vehicle.

However, in the former case, you cannot open or close the door window glass unless you consciously operate the regillata handle, but in the latter case, even if you accidentally press the manual switch, the forward/reverse motor will operate. The door window glass opens and closes. Therefore, when opening the door window glass, the manual switch may be accidentally turned off.
There is a problem in that when the UP switch is pressed, the door window glass rises and objects are caught between the door window glass and the window opening.

Therefore, the present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and prevents the window glass from closing by preventing only the UP switch from being pressed even if the manual switch is accidentally touched. This prevents objects from being caught between the window glass and the window opening.

To this end, the present invention includes a power window manual switch circuit in which, when turned ON, the UP switch is turned OFF via a relay, and the forward/reverse motor is reversed to move the window glass in the opening direction. A safety switch is provided, and the safety switch is located close to the UP switch and closer to the operator than the UP switch, and is longer than the UP switch on the operator side. The intended purpose is achieved by providing a switch structure that is similar to the above.

The present invention will be described below with reference to illustrative embodiments.

Reference numeral a denotes a door of a doorless type that is attached to the side of the automobile A so as to be openable and closable, and a door window glass 11 that can be raised and lowered to open and close is attached to the door a. The door window glass 11 is raised and lowered by operating a forward/reverse motor 13 built into the door panel 12.
The forward/reverse motor 13 is connected to an armrest 15 provided on the inner panel 14 of the door a shown in FIG.
It is operated by operating a manual switch 16 attached to the.

Note that a circuit breaker (not shown) is incorporated in the forward/reverse motor 13, and when the door window glass 11 is fully opened or closed, or when a foreign object is caught during operation and stops moving up and down, the current is cut off. is automatically blocked.

As shown in FIG. 3, a mounting recess 17 is formed in the upper surface 15a of the armrest 15, in which a manual switch 16 is mounted.

The manual switch is UP switch 18 and
It consists of a DOWN switch 19 and a safety switch 20.The UP switch 18 and the DOWN switch 19 are installed in parallel in the approximate center of the mounting recess 17 of the armrest 15, and the safety switch 20 is connected to the UP switch 18 and the DOWN switch. 19 and are attached close to each other so as to surround it. Therefore, unless you actively press the UP switch 18 or DOWN switch 19 with your fingertip, etc.
You can't just turn it on.

When the UP switch 18 is turned on, the forward/reverse rotation motor 13 is rotated in the normal direction to raise the door window glass 11, and when the DOWN switch 19 is turned on, the forward/reverse rotation motor 13 is reversed and the door window glass 1 is raised.
1 is lowered, and when the safety switch 20 is turned ON, the UP switch 18 is turned on via the relay 21.
It is wired so that when it is turned off, the forward/reverse motor 13 is reversed and the door window glass 11 is lowered. (See Fig. 4) In the circuit diagram of the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, a timer 22 is provided in the circuit of the safety switch 20, and when the safety switch 20 is turned on, the forward/reverse motor 13 is activated for a certain period of time. Although the timer 22 is activated, it is not necessarily necessary and may be omitted. 23 is an ignition switch.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the safety switch 20 is set to UP.
Although the switch 18 and the DOWN switch 19 are installed so as to surround them, the UP switch 18 and the UP switch 19 are not limited to this as shown in FIGS.
The DOWN switch 19 may be provided close to the inner panel 14 (or the side wall of the mounting recess 17), or the UP switch 18 and the DOWN switch 19 may be connected to the side wall 17 of the mounting recess 17 of the inner panel 14.
If it is close to a, it may be possible to surround it on three sides or to install it only on the front side.In short, even if you press the manual switch 16 by mistake, you will not be able to turn on the UP switch 18 alone. It is fine as long as it does so.

7 to 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a safety switch 20
Combination switch 2 that combines DOWN and DOWN switches in one
4. In this embodiment, if the combination switch 24 and the UP switch 18 are pressed at the same time as shown in the circuit diagram of FIG. As shown, the top surface 18 of the UP switch 18
a lower than the upper surface 24a of the combination switch 24, or the contact points P,
It is desirable that the distance between P' be wider than the distance between contacts Q and Q' of the combination switch 24.

With the configuration described above, even if an object accidentally hits the manual switch 16, only the UP switch 18 will not be pressed, and the combination switch will also be pressed.
UP switch 18 is turned OFF, and forward/reverse motor 1
3 reverses and lowers the window glass 11.

In the above embodiment, the safety switch is provided in a power window of a door of a satsileless type, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to a power window of a door, a panel door, a sliding sunroof, etc. . or,
In the above embodiment, the manual switch is attached to the armrest provided on the inner panel of the door, but the manual switch may be attached to the inner center pillar or place inner panel, and the mounting position is not limited. .

As described above, according to the present invention, the UP switch of the manual switch is placed close to the UP switch.
Since a safety switch is provided to turn it off, the window glass cannot be moved in the direction of closing the door unless the UP switch is operated consciously. Therefore, it is possible to prevent objects from being accidentally caught, which has the effect of improving safety.
