Description

  The present invention allows the door opening movement of the vehicle main body by operating the door opening actuator by operating the door opening switch and releasing the door holding means provided between the vehicle main body and the door. This is related to the vehicle.

  In recent vehicles, there is a vehicle in which the door closing holding means provided between the vehicle main body and the door is released by the operation of the door opening actuator. In other words, instead of mechanically transmitting the opening operation by the opening handle to the closing holding means, the opening operation is electrically detected, and the detected opening operation is used as a trigger to operate the opening actuator. The holding means can be released to move the door open.

  According to such a vehicle, since there is no mechanism for mechanically transmitting the operation force, the operation force when opening the door can be significantly reduced, and the operability of opening the door can be improved (for example, patents). Reference 1).

  FIG. 12 is a block diagram showing a control system related to the opening and closing of the door D in the vehicle described above. The acceleration sensor 101 shown in the figure detects acceleration generated in the vehicle and gives the detection result to the opening / closing control unit 100. For example, the authentication processing unit 102 performs authentication by wireless communication with the portable device 103 possessed by the user of the four-wheeled vehicle, and gives the authentication result to the opening / closing control unit 100. The door opening switch 104 is a switch operated when the door D is opened. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a door opening switch 104 is provided on a portion located near the rear side of the door D outside the vehicle body B and on the vehicle compartment side of the door D. The lock switch 105 is a switch for invalidating the door opening switch 104, and is provided on the vehicle compartment side of the door D. The fuel filler switch 106 is a switch for opening the lid FC of the space F described above, and is provided at an appropriate location on the vehicle compartment side. The lock display unit 107 is for displaying whether or not the lock switch 105 is operated, and is adjacent to the lock switch 105. The lock display unit 107 may be anything as long as it can visually display the state of the lock switch 105. For example, the lock display unit 107 can be lit and displayed by a lamp or LED. The opening / closing control unit 100 opens based on programs and data given in advance when various information is given from the acceleration sensor 101, the authentication processing unit 102, the door opening switch 104, the lock switch 105, and the filler switch 106. This is for performing overall control of the door actuator unit 20, the lid actuator FCA, the lock display unit 107, and the like.

  Hereinafter, operations when the door D is opened and closed in the vehicle described above will be sequentially described. First, when the door D is in an open state with respect to the vehicle main body B, the latch unit 10 has the latch 12 disposed at the open position as shown in FIG. When the door D is closed from this state, the striker S provided on the door D enters the cutout groove 11a of the latch housing 11, and the striker S eventually comes into contact with the locking portion 12c of the latch 12. As a result, the latch 12 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 4 against the elastic force of the latch spring. During this time, the ratchet 13 has the protruding end surface of the engaging portion 13a in sliding contact with the outer peripheral surface of the latch 12 due to the elastic force of the ratchet spring. Rotate.

  When the door D is further closed from the above state, the amount of the striker S entering the notch groove 11a gradually increases, so that the latch 12 further rotates counterclockwise, as shown in FIG. 4B. Eventually, the engaging portion 13a of the ratchet 13 reaches the engaging groove 12a of the latch 12. In this state, the locking portion 12c of the latch 12 comes into contact with the engaging portion 13a of the ratchet 13, so that the clockwise rotation of the latch 12 is prevented against the elastic restoring force of the latch spring. Become. Moreover, since the hook portion 12b of the latch 12 is disposed so as to cross the notch groove 11a, the situation in which the striker S moves away from the notch groove 11a by the hook portion 12b, that is, the door D is opened with respect to the vehicle body B. The movement is prevented (half latch state).

  When the door D is further closed from the half latch state described above, the striker S entering the notch groove 11a further rotates the latch 12 counterclockwise via the locking portion 12c, and the striker S is moved to the notch groove 11a. It reaches the back (inside the vehicle). During this time, the ratchet 13 rotates clockwise in FIG. 4 against the elastic force of the ratchet spring by the hook portion 12b of the latch 12 coming into contact with the upper surface of the engaging portion 13a, and the hook portion 12b of the latch 12 passes. At that time, it immediately rotates counterclockwise by the elastic restoring force of the ratchet spring. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4C, the hook portion 12b of the latch 12 comes into contact with the engaging portion 13a of the ratchet 13, so that the latch 12 rotates clockwise against the elastic restoring force of the latch spring. Rotation will be prevented. Even in this state, since the hook portion 12b of the latch 12 is arranged so as to cross the notch groove 11a, the hook portion 12b prevents the striker S from moving away from the back of the notch groove 11a (inside the vehicle). Eventually, the door D is maintained in a closed state with respect to the vehicle body B (full latch state).

  In the fully latched state, as shown in FIG. 9, the driven pin 22 b of the output lever 22 in the door opening actuator unit 20 is in contact with the smallest diameter portion of the circumferential cam 28, and the open lever 23 The pressing operation piece 23c is located at a position separated from the pressing relay portion 14c at a position slightly inward of the vehicle from the pressing relay portion 14c of the ratchet lever 14 and the pressing relay piece 14d of the ratchet lever 14 Is located at a position separated from the pressing pin 30, and the pressing pin 30 is in a position most retracted to the inside of the vehicle by the pressing force of the return spring 33.

  In the fully latched state, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), a small gap is secured between the door D and the vehicle body B so that a hand cannot be inserted. It is difficult to insert a hand into the recess 111 of the member 110. Moreover, the recess 111 of the handle member 110 is open toward the inside of the vehicle and is covered by the vehicle body B. Therefore, according to this vehicle, there is no possibility that dirt due to mud splash adheres to the concave portion 111 of the handle member 110 regardless of whether the vehicle is parked or running. However, even in this fully latched state, a part of the grip portion 112 is exposed to the outside through the notch D2, and it is easy to check the position of the handle member 110 from the outside.

  When the person holding the portable device 103 approaches the vehicle from the above-described full latch state, an authentication process is performed between the portable device 103 and the authentication processing unit 102. When it is determined that the portable device 103 is authentic as a result of the authentication process, the opening / closing control unit 100 described above enables the door opening switch 104 and monitors the door opening switch 104 (unlocking). Status).

  When the activated door opening switch 104 is turned ON, the opening / closing control unit 100 drives the drive motor 27 of the door opening actuator unit 20 to rotate the cam gear 24 as shown in FIGS. As a result, the output lever 22 and the open lever 23 are rotated clockwise. As a result, the rotation of the open lever 23 is transmitted to the ratchet lever 14 via the pressing operation piece 23c and the pressing relay piece 14d, and the ratchet lever 14 and the ratchet 13 rotate counterclockwise. When the ratchet 13 rotates counterclockwise, the contact engagement state between the hook portion 12b of the latch 12 and the engagement portion 13a of the ratchet 13 is released, and the latch 12 rotates clockwise in FIG. 4 by the elastic restoring force of the latch spring. Rotate. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4A, the notch groove 11a is opened, the striker S can move in a direction to detach from the notch groove 11a, and the door D can be moved to open relative to the vehicle body B. It becomes like this.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, the press relay piece 14 d moves the press pin 30 forward with the rotation of the ratchet lever 14, so that the head of the press pin 30 as shown in FIG. 32 presses the rear edge side inward surface of the door D, and the door D is pushed out of the vehicle main body B to the outside of the vehicle. As a result, even if the door D and the vehicle body B are stuck via the weather strip WS during freezing, the door D can be opened reliably by the release operation of the door holding means DS. Become.

  Further, when the door holding means DS is released, the gap between the door D and the vehicle main body B is enlarged as shown in FIG. Since the grip portion 112 can be gripped, the door D can be opened and closed without gripping the window glass WG. Therefore, the operation load accompanying opening and closing of the door D is not applied to the window glass WG and the regulator mechanism (not shown), and there is no possibility of causing a problem in strength due to the operation load to these portions. In addition, as described above, the recess 111 of the handle member 110 is open toward the inside of the vehicle and is covered with the vehicle body B, so that there is no possibility of dirt due to mud splashing. Accordingly, the hands are not soiled when the door D is opened and closed. Conversely, when the door D is opened / closed with a dirty hand, the window glass WG will not be contaminated.

  When it is determined that the portable device 103 is not authentic as a result of the authentication process described above, the opening / closing control unit 100 maintains the door opening switch 104 in a disabled state (locked state). Accordingly, any operation of turning on the door opening switch 104 by a person who does not have the proper portable device 103 or operation of turning on the door opening switch 104 by a person who does not have the portable device 103 is ignored. become. In addition, when the user who has the authorized portable device 103 moves away from the vehicle after performing the opening operation or without performing the opening operation, the opening / closing control unit 100 The door opening switch 104 is restored to the invalidated state again. Therefore, it is possible to ensure a desired anti-theft property for the vehicle.

  On the other hand, when the lock switch 105 is turned on after entering the vehicle compartment from the opened state, the opening / closing control unit 100 maintains the door opening switch 104 in a disabled state and opens the door through the lock display unit 107. The state where the switch 104 is invalidated is displayed. As a result, the occupant can be prompted to turn on the lock switch 105, and after the lock switch 105 is turned on, the door 104 is inadvertently accidentally turned on. It is possible to prevent the situation where D is in the open state.

  If the lock switch 105 is turned off, the opening / closing control unit 100 activates the opening switch 104 again. Therefore, if the opening switch 104 on the passenger compartment side is turned on, the door D is opened. be able to.

  When the fuel supply port switch 106 is turned on after entering the vehicle compartment from the open state, the opening / closing control pin P is retracted by the lid actuator FCA, and the fuel supply port FO is opened. Therefore, fuel can be supplied by performing the above-described operation at the gas station.

  Furthermore, when the vehicle acceleration measured based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor 101 exceeds a predetermined threshold, the opening / closing control unit 100 immediately drives the lid actuator FCA to set the opening / closing control pin P. Performs degenerate movement. The threshold value for acceleration may be set to a value when the vehicle collides, for example. As a result, even if a trouble occurs in the electric system due to an accident such as a collision and the actuator unit 20 for opening the door cannot be driven, if the external operation lever 50 is operated from the opened fuel supply port FO, Since the ratchet lever 14 rotates counterclockwise from the state shown in FIG. 13 through the first wire cable W1, the contact engagement state between the hook portion 12b of the latch 12 and the engagement portion 13a of the ratchet 13 is released to open the door. D can be moved to open the door. Of course, if the occupant can operate the internal operation lever 40, the operation causes the open lever 23 to rotate clockwise from the state shown in FIG. 13 through the second wire cable W2. And the engagement portion 13a of the ratchet 13 is released and the door D can be moved to open. Therefore, even when a trouble occurs in the electric system due to an accident such as a collision, it is possible to prevent a situation where the occupant is trapped inside the vehicle.

  Thus, according to the vehicle described above, the recess 111 of the handle member 110 is covered by the vehicle body B when the door D is in the closed state, and can be operated from the outside only when the door D is in the open state. Therefore, there is no possibility that the concave portion 111 is soiled by mud splashing, etc., and the door D can be opened without soiling the hand by placing a finger on the concave portion 111 and opening the door. become. Therefore, even when the door opening handle is not provided on the outer panel of the door D in order to remarkably increase the degree of freedom in vehicle design, there is no problem of contamination when the door D is opened.

  In Embodiment 1 described above, the handle member 110 is provided in such a manner that a part of the door D is exposed to the outside when the door D is in the closed state. Therefore, the exposed portion is the edge of the door D. Although it functions also as a member which protects, it is not necessary to expose a part to the exterior. For example, as in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, the handle member 210 may be provided so as to be completely covered by the vehicle body B when the door D is in the closed state.

  That is, in the second embodiment, the attachment portion D1b is formed on the inclined surface D1 of the panel constituting the end surface portion on the vehicle rear side, and the handle member 210 is attached to the attachment portion D1b. The inclined surface D1 extends in a manner that gradually inclines toward the outer edge of the door D toward the outer edge of the door D, and is provided at a portion that is at the vehicle outer side than the weather strip WS at least in the upper part of the rear end of the door D. The attachment portion D1b is configured such that a notch hole is provided in the inclined surface D1 in a manner in which a screw hole D1c is provided inside the door D. The handle member 210 is a block-shaped member made of, for example, a synthetic resin, and has a recess 211 at the center. The concave portion 211 is configured to have a size allowing a hand to be inserted, and an opening edge 211a located on the vehicle outer side is gradually inclined inward toward the upper side. The handle member 210 is disposed on the inclined surface D1 in a manner that matches the attachment portion D1b, and the screw BN is screwed into the screw hole D1c of the attachment portion D1b from the screw insertion hole 211b of the concave portion 211, thereby being brought into contact with the inclined surface D1. It is hold | maintained at the door D in the state along. The screw insertion hole 211b of the recess 211 is closed by attaching the lid member 213 after screwing the screw BN. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  Also in the second embodiment, when in the fully latched state, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), a small gap is secured between the door D and the vehicle body B so that a hand cannot be inserted. Therefore, it is difficult to insert a hand into the recess 211 of the handle member 210. Moreover, the recess 211 of the handle member 210 is open toward the inside of the vehicle and is covered by the vehicle body B. Therefore, there is no possibility that dirt due to mud splashing adheres to the concave portion 211 of the handle member 210 in any state during parking or running.

  On the other hand, when the door holding means DS is released, the gap between the door D and the vehicle main body B is enlarged as shown in FIG. 19B, and the recessed portion 211 of the handle member 210 is handed from the enlarged gap. Can be opened and closed without opening the window glass WG. Therefore, the operation load accompanying opening and closing of the door D is not applied to the window glass WG and the regulator mechanism (not shown), and there is no possibility of causing a problem in strength due to the operation load to these portions. In addition, as described above, the concave portion 211 of the handle member 210 is not likely to be contaminated by mud splashing, so that the hand is not soiled when the door D is opened and closed. Conversely, when the door D is opened / closed with a dirty hand, the window glass WG will not be contaminated.

  Thus, according to the vehicle of the second embodiment, the concave portion 211 of the handle member 210 is covered by the vehicle body B when the door D is in the closed state, while only from the outside when the door D is in the open state. Since it is provided at a position where it can be operated, there is no possibility that the recess 211 is soiled by mud splashing or the like, and if the door is opened by placing a finger on the recess 211, the door D is opened without soiling the hand. It becomes possible. Therefore, even when the door opening handle is not provided on the outer panel of the door D in order to remarkably increase the degree of freedom in vehicle design, there is no problem of contamination when the door D is opened.

  In the first and second embodiments described above, the finger hanging recesses 111 and 211 are provided on the panel of the door D that is on the vehicle outer side than the weather strip WS that serves as a seal member with the vehicle body B. However, as shown in the modified example of FIG. 20, recesses 111 ′ and 211 ′ for hooking fingers may be provided in a portion on the vehicle inner side than the weather strip WS. When the recessed portions 111 'and 211' for finger hooking are provided in a portion on the vehicle inner side than the weather strip WS as in the modified example shown in FIG. 20, when the door D is in the closed state, the recessed portion 111 ' , 211 'are located on the vehicle compartment side, so that there is no possibility of rainwater or dust adhering.

  In the above-described embodiment, a two-seat type four-wheeled vehicle is exemplified as the vehicle, but the present invention can of course be applied to other types of vehicles.
