The operation of the warning lamp 99 and the tonneau cover driving motor 72 is controlled.

As shown in FIG. 8 and the like, the intermediate member 64 is provided along the width direction D3 of the tonneau cover. The intermediate member 64 can be moved along the pair of guide portions 14A and 14B, and can be detached from the rear portions of the guide portions 14A and 14B when the rear door 6 is opened. The intermediate member 64 is a long member whose longitudinal direction is in the width direction D3 of the tonneau cover, and end holders are provided at both end portions 64a and 64b. Therefore, the end holders 64a and 64b projecting from both edges 20c and 20d of the tonneau cover are inserted into the grooves 15 and 15 of the support member and moved back and forth.
A groove 65 is formed in the main body portion of the intermediate member 64 in the width direction D3. The runner member attached to the hinges 68 and 68 is inserted into the groove 65 so as to be slidable in the width direction D3 so as not to come off.

  The rear end member 66 is a long member whose longitudinal direction is directed to the width direction D3 of the tonneau cover, is provided along the width direction D3 of the tonneau cover, and is located below the tonneau cover 20 in the vicinity of the winding device 30. And fixed to the rear door 6. The rear end member 66 has a motor 72 fixed thereto, and arm members 67 and 67 are coupled to both end portions 66 a and 66 b so as to be rotatable along the tonneau cover 20.

  For the main body portion of the front end member 22, the main body portion of the intermediate member 64, and the rear end member 66, a molded product made of a metal such as an aluminum alloy by extrusion molding or the like to have a substantially rod shape or a long plate shape is used. be able to. For the end holders 22a, 22b, 64a, 64b, members formed by injection molding or the like of a resin molding material such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin or polypropylene (PP) can be used.

  The first arm member 67 has an end portion 67a on the distal end side that is movable in the width direction D3 along the intermediate member 64, and is rotatable about a portion 67d on the winding device 30 side. The distal ends of the left and right arm members 67, 67 have connection portions 67b, 67b that are rotatably connected to the hinges 68, 68. Link members 74 and 74 are rotatably connected to end portions 67c and 67c on the winding device 30 side. Sites 67d and 67d closer to the drawing direction D1 than these end portions 67c and 67c are connected to the rear end member 66 so as to be rotatable. Of course, the connection part to the link member provided in the first arm member may be closer to the drawing direction D1 side than the connection part to the rear end member.

  The hinge 68 connects both arm members 67 and 69 along the tonneau cover 20 so as to be rotatable. Further, the hinge 68 does not bend in a direction that protrudes upward, and connects both arm members 67 and 69 so as to be bent in a direction that protrudes downward. Therefore, the second arm member 69 can be bent in a direction in which the end portion 69c on the winding device 30 side is rotatable with respect to the end portion 67a on the distal end side of the first arm member and protrudes downward. It is connected. Further, the hinges 68, 68 are provided with latching portions 68c, 68c for hooking one ends of the springs 61, 61 outside the width direction D3.

The second arm member 69 has a connecting portion 69b attached to the distal end member 22 so as to be rotatable, and has a connecting portion 69d attached to the hinge 68 so as to be rotatable. It is provided at the end portion 69c on the winding device 30 side. As shown in FIG. 10, the distal ends of the left and right arm members 69, 69 are centered on the axial direction of the rivet RI1 by the rivet RI1 between the end portions 69a, 69a of the arm member and the distal end member 22 via the washer WA1. It is connected so that it can rotate. On the other hand, the ends 69c and 69c of the arm members 69 and 69 on the winding device 30 side and the hinges 68 and 68 are connected so as to be rotatable about the axial direction of a rivet (not shown).
When the tonneau cover 20 is put in and out of the winding device 30 only when the rear door 6 is closed, the hinge 68 is omitted, and the connecting portions of both arm members 67 and 69 move along the intermediate member 64. Thus, both arm members 67 and 69 may be coupled so as to be rotatable.

  The left and right tension coil springs 61 are attached to the end holder latching portions 64c and 64c and the hinge latching portions 68c and 68c, respectively. Accordingly, the first arm members 67 and 67 are biased in the direction in which the end portions 67a and 67a on the front end side are separated from each other, and the second arm members 69 and 69 are biased in the direction D1 in which the tonneau cover 20 is pulled out.

The link member 74 transmits the driving force of the motor 72 to the first arm member 67 when the tonneau cover 20 is driven. The left and right link members 74, 74 are rotatably attached to the rear end portions 67c, 67c of the first arm members 67, 67, and when driven to the outside in the width direction D3 by the motor 72, the arm members 67, 69 is bent at the connecting portion to move the tonneau cover 20 in the accommodating direction D2, and when driven by the motor 72 in the width direction D3, the tonneau cover 20 is moved in the pulling direction D1 so as to extend the arm members 67 and 69.
The arm members 67 and 69, the hinge 68, and the link member 74 can be formed by molding a metal such as an aluminum alloy by extrusion or the like into a substantially rod shape or a long plate shape.

The tonneau cover driving motor 72 has a rotating plate, and the rotating plate rotates to drive the link members 74 and 74 to the outside in the width direction D3 or to the inside in the width direction D3.
As described above, the driving means 70 including the motor 72 and the link member 74 rotates the first arm member 67 and rotates the second arm member 69 when the tonneau cover 20 is driven, thereby causing the winding device 30 to rotate. On the other hand, the tonneau cover 20 is taken in and out.

(2) Operation, operation and effect of the cargo compartment shielding structure and cargo compartment shielding device of the automobile:
Hereinafter, operation | movement, an effect | action, and effect of the luggage compartment shielding structure 2a and the luggage compartment shielding apparatus 2 of this embodiment are demonstrated.
FIG. 15 shows an example of drive processing of the tonneau cover 20 performed by the ECU 80. The driving process shown in FIG.

  When the processing is started, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the cover accommodation switch 82a has been pressed for a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) (step S102; hereinafter, description of “step” is omitted). When the cover accommodating switch 82a is pressed for a predetermined period, the first operation for accommodating the cover 20 is accepted from the user of the automobile. In this case, the ECU determines whether or not the rear door 6 is closed in S104 in order to ensure safety (for example, whether or not a signal for detecting that the rear door 6 is in the fully closed position is input from the angle sensor 94). to decide. When the winding device is not attached to the rear door, the process of S104 can be omitted. The ECU performs a process (not shown) when the rear door is not closed and ends the driving process. When the rear door is closed, the ECU starts to rotate the motor 72 in a direction to move the tonneau cover 20 in the accommodation direction D2. (S106). At this time, the link members 74 and 74 move to the outside in the width direction D3, the arm members 67 and 69 are rotated in a bending direction at the connection portion by the movement of the link member, and the first arm member 67 is rotated. The hinges 68 and 68 move along the intermediate member 64 in the width direction D3. As the arm members 67 and 69 rotate, the intermediate member 64 moves in the accommodation direction D2 along the guide portions 14A and 14B of the deck side trim, and the tip member 22 moves from the guide portions 42 and 42 of the closing member to the deck side trim. Move in the accommodating direction D2 along the guide portions 14A and 14B. Then, the tonneau cover 20 is wound around the winding device 30 by the biasing force of the spring 32. Then, the tonneau cover 20 is accommodated toward the accommodation position LO1 from the drawing position LO2 shown in FIG. When the closing member 40 is pulled out from the deck side trim 10 as shown in FIG. 11B, the closing position of the closing member 40 within the closing member receiving portion 16 from the pull-out position LO4 by the biasing force F1 of the spring 50. It is housed towards LO3. After the closing member 40 is accommodated in the closing member accommodation portion 16 as shown in FIG. 11A, only the tonneau cover 20 moves in the accommodation direction D2.

The ECU determines whether or not the accommodation of the tonneau cover 20 is completed in S108, and repeats the process of S108 until the accommodation of the tonneau cover 20 is completed. This process can be a moving time T _re processing the ECU determines whether or not elapsed in the accommodating direction from the start of receiving of the tonneau cover, the winding completion from the sensor for detecting the winding completion tonneau cover Processing in which the ECU determines whether a detection signal has been input may be performed.
When the winding of the tonneau cover 20 is completed, the ECU stops the rotational driving of the tonneau cover driving motor 72 in S110 and ends the driving process.

On the other hand, if the ECU 80 determines in S102 that the cover accommodation switch has not been pressed for a long time, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the cover withdrawal switch 82b has been pressed for a predetermined period (for example, 1 second) (S122). When the cover pull-out switch 82b is pressed for a predetermined period, the second operation for pulling out the cover 20 is accepted from the user of the automobile. In this case, the ECU determines whether or not the rear door 6 is closed in S124 in order to ensure safety. When the winding device is not attached to the rear door, the process of S124 can be omitted. When the rear door is not closed, the ECU performs a process (not shown) to finish the driving process, and when the rear door is closed, acquires the position of the second seat back 4a (S126). For example, the detection value θ _B2 corresponding to the reclining angle of the seat back 4a of the second seat detected by the reclining sensor 84a, the detection value P _S2 corresponding to the slide position of the second seat 4 detected by the slide position sensor 84b, A detection value θ _B3 corresponding to the reclining angle of the seat back 5a of the third seat detected by the reclining sensor 84c is acquired. In S128, the stop position P _T of the tonneau cover 20 to be pulled out is acquired based on the detected values θ _B2 , P _S2 , θ _B3 .

When the third seat 5 is not used, the reclining angle detection value θ _B3 of the seat back 5a is a detection value corresponding to the fact that the seat back 5a is tilted _forward . In this case, the position LO11 of the seat back 4a is determined according to the reclining position LO12 and the slide position LO13 of the second seat 4. Further, the tonneau cover stop position LO14 is determined according to the position LO11 of the seat back 4a, such as a position separated by a very small predetermined distance to the position of the rearmost portion of the seat back 4a on the surface from which the tonneau cover 20 is pulled out. Therefore, when the seat back 5a is tilted forward, for example, if an information table in which the combination of the detected values θ _B2 and P _S2 is associated with the stop position P _{T of the} tonneau cover 20 is stored in the ROM 80b or the like, the ECU Can obtain the stop position P _T corresponding to the detected values θ _B2 and P _S2 by referring to this information table.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14, when the third seat 5 is used, the position of the seat back 5a is determined according to the reclining position of the seat back 5a of the third seat. The stop position of the tonneau cover is determined according to the position of the seat back 5a, such as a position separated by a very small predetermined distance to the position of the rearmost part of the seat back 5a on the surface from which the tonneau cover 20 is pulled out. Therefore, when the third seat 5 is used, for example, if an information table in which the detected value θ _{B3 is associated} with the stop position _{PT of the} tonneau cover 20 is stored in the ROM 80b or the like, the ECU refers to this information table. By doing so, the stop position _PT corresponding to the detected value θ _B3 can be acquired.
Of course, instead of the various information tables described above, a calculation formula for obtaining the stop position P _T from the detected values θ _B2 , P _S2 , θ _B3 may be used.

When the stop position _PT is acquired, the ECU causes the motor 72 to start rotational driving in a direction in which the tonneau cover 20 is moved in the pull-out direction D1 (S130). At this time, the link members 74 and 74 move inward in the width direction D3, the arm members 67 and 69 rotate in a direction extending at the connection portion by the movement of the link member, and the first arm member 67 rotates by the rotation of the first arm member 67. The hinges 68, 68 move along the intermediate member 64 to the outside in the width direction D3. As the arm members 67 and 69 rotate, the intermediate member 64 moves in the pull-out direction D1 along the guide portions 14A and 14B of the deck side trim, and the tip member 22 moves to the guide portions 14A and 14B of the deck side trim and the closing member. Move along the guide portions 42, 42 in the pull-out direction D1. Then, the tonneau cover 20 is pulled out from the winding device 30 against the urging force of the spring 32 by the advancement of the tip member 22. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 and the like, the tonneau cover 20 advances from the housing position LO1 toward the drawing position LO2.

Thereafter, ECU determines whether the tonneau cover 20 is pulled out to the stop position P _T in S132, and repeats the processing of S132 until the tonneau cover 20 is pulled out to the stop position P _T. When the tonneau cover 20 reaches the stop position _PT , the ECU stops the driving of the tonneau cover 20 in S134 and ends the driving process.

  When the third seat 5 is not used and the seat back 4a of the second seat is at the rearmost portion as shown in FIG. 4, the advancement of the tonneau cover 20 stops without the closing member 40 being pulled out from the deck side trim 10. When the third seat 5 is not used and the seat back 4a is in front of the position shown in FIG. 4 as shown in FIG. 5, the deck side trim guide portions 14A and 14B move to the closing member guide portions 42 and 42. The end holders 22a and 22b, which are the tip members, are hooked on the hook portions 44 and 44, and the closing members 40A and 40B are pulled out in the pull-out direction D4 against the urging force of the springs 50 and 50. Thereby, the closing member 40 in the accommodation position LO3 shown in FIG. 11A is pulled out toward the drawing position LO4 shown in FIG. As a result, at least a part of the gaps CL1 and CL1 between the edge portion in the width direction D3 of the tonneau cover 20 to be pulled out and the retracting portions 12 and 12 of the deck side trim is closed by the closing members 40A and 40B. At this time, there is no need to perform an operation of pulling out only the closing member. Therefore, the luggage compartment shielding structure and the luggage compartment shielding apparatus according to the present embodiment can easily improve the degree of shielding of the luggage compartment in which the width of the reclining range of the seat is widened.

  In addition, the stop positions of the tonneau cover 20 and the closing member 40 that are pulled out are positions corresponding to the position of the seat back 4a of the second seat. This eliminates the need to provide a sub-cover other than the tonneau cover behind the second seat back and to change the position of the winding device in accordance with the position of the second seat back. Thus, the user of the luggage compartment shielding device does not need to perform a special operation for the stop position of the tonneau cover that is pulled out.

  Furthermore, when the third seat 5 is used, the advance of the tonneau cover 20 stops immediately after the seat back 5a of the third seat, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the user of the luggage compartment shielding device does not need to change the position of the winding device according to whether or not the third sheet is used. Moreover, since it is not necessary to provide the receiver of a winding device behind the seat back of a 3rd sheet | seat, the manufacturing cost of a motor vehicle can be reduced and the appearance of a luggage compartment can be improved.

As described above, in the cargo compartment shielding structure, the tonneau cover and the closing member cooperate to shield the cargo compartment. Therefore, the degree of shielding of the luggage compartment can be easily improved.
Further, since it is not necessary to bend the guide portion of the tonneau cover provided on the side wall portion of the cargo compartment in order to increase the degree of shielding of the cargo compartment, the tonneau cover can be smoothly pulled out from the take-up device, and the tonneau cover can be smoothly put on the take-up device. Can be rolled up.
Furthermore, since the closing member is accommodated in the side wall portion of the cargo compartment, there is no need to store it in the cargo compartment or take it out of the vehicle when the closure member is not used.

(3) Modification:
The present invention can be modified in various ways.
The present luggage compartment shielding device may be provided immediately after the front seat or may be provided only behind the third seat.
A side wall part may exist only in one side of the both sides of the width direction of a cover.
The side wall portion may be a vehicle body panel or the like in addition to the interior material. That is, the closing member may be housed so as to be drawable with respect to the vehicle body panel or the like .
The support part of the side wall part and the second support part of the closing member have a groove shape over the entire longitudinal direction, and the tip member can be detached upward without the upper side of the groove shape over the entire longitudinal direction. You may be made the shape.

The direction in which the cover is pulled out and the accommodation direction may be opposite to those in the above-described embodiment, or may be a direction that extends vertically, such as a direction along the window of the luggage compartment. The cover pull-out direction and storage direction may be the left-right direction of the automobile. In this case, the side wall portion of the cargo compartment may be present on at least one of the front side of the cover and the rear side of the cover.
The cover accommodating device may be a device that accommodates the bellows-like cover so that it can be pulled out.
The closing member may be capable of being pulled out from the side wall portion in a direction other than the seat to a position that closes the gap between the cover and the side wall portion.
The cover driving means may be a means for driving the cover without using the arm member. Further, even with a luggage compartment shielding structure without cover driving means, an effect of easily improving the degree of shielding of the luggage compartment can be obtained. Furthermore, even with a cargo compartment shielding structure without an urging means, the effect of easily improving the degree of shielding of the cargo compartment can be obtained.

Instead of the reclining sensor and the slide position sensor described above, a stop position detection sensor that detects that the tonneau cover to be pulled out has reached the stop position may be provided in the luggage compartment shielding device.
FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a driving process of the tonneau cover 20 performed by the ECU 80 in the modified example. In the luggage compartment shielding device of this modification, the stop position detection sensor 84d shown in FIG. 15 is attached to the tip member 22 of the tonneau cover. For example, when a proximity switch that detects proximity to the seat back 4a or the seat back 5a is used as the stop position detection sensor 84d, the position at which proximity to the seat back is detected becomes the stop position. When a contact operation type switch that detects contact with the seat back 4a or the seat back 5a is used as the stop position detection sensor 84d, the position at which contact with the seat back is detected becomes the stop position. In the drive process shown in FIG. 17, the process of S142 is performed instead of S126 to S132 of the drive process shown in FIG.

That is, when the ECU 80 determines that the cover pull-out switch 82b has been pressed for a predetermined period in S122 and determines that the rear door 6 is closed in S124, the ECU 80 performs rotational driving in a direction to move the tonneau cover 20 in the pull-out direction D1 in S130. The motor 72 is started. Thereafter, in S142, it is determined whether or not the stop position detection sensor detects the stop position of the tonneau cover 20, and the process of S142 is repeated until the stop position is detected. When the stop position is detected, the ECU stops the driving of the tonneau cover 20 in S134 and ends the driving process. Here, when the gap CL1 is generated between the tonneau cover 20 and the deck side trim 10, the closing member 40 is pulled out to the gap CL1.
With the above processing, the tonneau cover can be pulled out to an appropriate position without the reclining sensor and the slide position sensor. And since a closure member is pulled out by the clearance gap between the edge part of the width direction of a tonneau cover, and a side wall part, the shielding degree of a luggage compartment can be improved easily.
The stop position detection sensor may be attached to the seat backs 4a and 5a instead of being attached to the tip member of the tonneau cover.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, the tonneau cover 20 may be taken in and out in conjunction with the opening and closing of the rear door 6. When starting the driving process, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the rear door opening switch 82c has been pressed for a predetermined period (S202). When the condition is satisfied, it is determined in S204 whether or not the rear door 6 is closed. The ECU performs a process (not shown) when the condition is not satisfied and ends the driving process, and starts a warning process such as outputting a warning sound from the warning buzzer 98 to the vehicle compartment when the condition is satisfied (S206). After that, the motor 72 starts the rotational drive for housing the tonneau cover 20 (S208), and after waiting for T ₁ = 1 second (S210), the door opening / closing device 90 is started to drive to open the rear door 6 after finishing the warning process. (S212) Wait until the accommodation of the tonneau cover 20 is completed (S214), stop the rotational driving of the motor 72 (S216), and wait until the rear door 6 reaches the fully open position (S218). In S220, the driving of the door opening / closing device 90 is stopped, and the driving process is terminated.

If the ECU 80 determines that the condition is not satisfied in S202, the ECU 80 determines whether or not the rear door closing switches 82d and 82e are pressed for a predetermined period (S222). When the condition is not satisfied, the ECU performs a process (not shown) and ends the drive process. When the condition is satisfied, the ECU determines whether or not the rear door 6 is open in S224. The ECU performs a process (not shown) when the condition is not satisfied, ends the driving process, and starts the warning process described above when the condition is satisfied (S226). Thereafter, when waiting for T ₂ = 1 second (S228), the door opening / closing device 90 is started to end the warning process and close the rear door 6 (S230), and waits until the rear door 6 reaches the fully closed position (S230). In step S232, the driving of the door opening / closing device 90 is stopped (S234), the rotational drive for pulling out the tonneau cover 20 is started by the motor 72 (S236), and the process waits until the tonneau cover 20 is completely pulled out (S238). In S240, the driving of the tonneau cover 20 is stopped and the driving process is terminated. Here, when the gap CL1 is generated between the tonneau cover 20 and the deck side trim 10, the closing member 40 is pulled out to the gap CL1.

  With the above processing, the tonneau cover is put in and out according to the opening and closing of the rear door, so the convenience of the luggage compartment shielding device is improved. And since a closure member is pulled out by the clearance gap between the edge part of the width direction of a tonneau cover, and a side wall part, the shielding degree of a luggage compartment can be improved easily.
