The tilt guide 90 transmits the driving force input from the drive wire 80 to the tilt frame 50 to slide the tilt frame 50.
As shown in FIG. 10, two tilt guide rollers 921, 921 rolling within the tilt guide rail 33 of the main frame 30 are provided on the negative side, and transmission rollers 922, 922 are provided on the other side. provided roller link 92
and an L-shaped tilt guide link 93 having one end pivotally attached to the roller link 92 and the other end pivotally attached to the mounting bracket 52 of the tilt frame 50.

Further, the tilt guide link 93 has one end attached to the bent portion thereof, and the other end is fixed to the spring locking hole 47 of the guide frame 40 by a spring 94, so that the tilt guide link 93 is tilted upward rearward, that is, toward the guide frame 40 side. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, the rear tilt guide roller 921 of the roller link 92 is pulled and rotationally biased, and as shown in FIGS.
When the tilt guide link 93 reaches this point, the tilt guide link 93 is pulled upward by the spring 94 and rotated.

The tilt mechanism 60 is provided on both sides of the rear part of the slide roof 20, and is used to tilt up the slide roof 20 by raising and lowering the rear part of the slide roof 20, or to tilt it down from the tilt-up position. is the tilt link 61. tilt bracket 6
2. A main frame side bracket 63 is provided.

The tilt link 61 is rotatably provided between the slide roof 20 and the tip of the arm frame portion 35 of the main frame 30, and is rotatable from a substantially horizontal state to the upright side and from the upright state to the horizontal side. This tilt link 61 raises and lowers the rear part of the slide roof 20.
As shown in the cross-sectional views of FIGS. 4 and 8, an intermediate portion is rotatably pivoted to the tilt link coupling bin 48 of the guide frame 40 and is slidably supported by the tilt bracket 62; And the lower end is the lower bin 61
1 is slidably supported by the main frame side bracket 63, and its upper end is slidably supported by the tilt bracket 62 by an upper pin 612.

The main frame side bracket 63 is fixed to the lower end of the arm frame portion 35 of the main frame 30, and has a lower bin slide hole 631 formed therein, through which the bracket 6 can be inserted as described above.
3, the lower bin 611 is slidable.

The tilt bracket 62 is fixed to the tilt frame 50 by the support bins 54,54, and
A combination bin slide hole 621 and an upper bin slide hole 622 are formed for rotating the tilt link 61 as the tilt frame 50 slides.

This combined bottle slide hole 621 and the upper pin slide hole 6
22 is formed such that the distance between the two holes 621 and 622 becomes greater toward the front side.

Here, the operation of the tilt mechanism 60 will be further explained.

In the tilt link 61, when the slide roof 20 is closed, the upper bin 612 and the tilt link coupling pin 48 are located at the rear end portions of the upper pin slide hole 622 and the coupling pin slide hole 621, respectively, as shown in FIG. , the lower bin 611 is located at the rear end of the lower bin slide hole 631.

Therefore, when the tilt frame 50 is slid backward and the tilt bracket 62 is moved backward, the upper pin 612
．． The tilt link coupling pin 48 is connected to both holes 622 and 6, respectively.
21, and the upper pin slide hole 622 is formed so as to face upward and away from the coupling bottle slide hole 621, so the tilt link 61
is rotated so that the upper pin 612 is moved upward about the tilt link coupling pin 48 fixed to the guide frame 40, thereby lifting the tilt bracket 62 and, at the same time, lifting the rear part of the sliding roof 20.

Note that the tilt link coupling pin 48 is connected to the guide frame 40.
The lower bin 611 is rotated in accordance with the upward rotation of the rear part, and the lower bin 611 is slid forward through the lower bin slide hole 631.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lower bin 611 and the upper pin 612 reach the front ends of both slide holes 631 and 622, the rotation of the tilt link 61 is stopped, and the rise of the slide roof 20 is also stopped. It is something that will be done.

As described above, the tilt link 61 is connected to the lower bin 611. Each of the upper bins 612 slides back and forth and rotates around the tilt link coupling bin 48, which is different from simply swinging around the lower end, so the operating space is small, and as shown in FIG. As can be seen by comparing FIG. 4, the tilt link 61 that takes the upright position shown in FIG. Since the lower bin 611 can be slid under the rear fixed roof lO3 by the amount by which the lower bin 611 is slid rearward, the amount of protrusion toward the indoor side is reduced.

The electric motor 70 serves as a drive source for the outer slide roof device A. The electric motor 70 is disposed below the rear fixed roof 103 at the rear end of the main frame 30, and connects drive wires 80 and 80. It is provided so that it can be pulled and pushed out.

The drive wire 80 transmits the drive force of the electric motor 70 to the slide roof 20, the tilt frame 50, etc. The drive wire 80 has a wire wound around the outer periphery in a spiral shape to form a gear. The drive wire guide rail 32 of the main frame 30 is slidable within the drive wire guide rail 32, and a slider 81 is provided at the tip.

As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 9, the slider 81 includes a plate portion 82 connected to a drive wire 80;
a link portion 83 provided on the outside of the plate portion 82;
A roller 821 is installed at the bottom of the plate portion 82.
, 822 are provided.

A tilt drive transmission piece 84 that can engage with the transmission rollers 922 of the tilt guide 90 is provided upright on the center side of the vehicle body of the plate portion 82 . The transmission piece 84 is connected to a pair of transmission rollers 92 provided on the roller link 92 described above.
2.922 so that it can be moved in and out, and an inclined surface is provided so that the upper part goes down as it goes rearward. The transmission piece 84 is between the rollers 922 and 922 during the period from closing to tilting up and from tilting up to closing, and during sliding, the rear roller 922 located in the release section 37 is pushed by the inclined surface and the roller 922 is pushed down. ．．
922, the link portion 83 is connected to the slider bracket 831, which is integrally connected to the link portion 82, and the slider link 83.
2,833, the slider bracket 831
A long hole 834 is formed in the long hole 834, into which a bottle provided at the lower end of the slider link 832 is slidably inserted, and the roller 821 is provided at the tip of the bottle.

A slider link 83 is attached to the tip of the slider bracket 831.
3 is pivotally supported, and the tip of the slider link 833 is pivotally supported in the middle of the slider link 832.

A slide transmission member is provided at the tip of the slider link 832 with a roller 836 that is inserted into the long floating hole 26 formed in the roof bracket 23 and inserted into the roof guide rail 44 of the guide frame 40. A slide transmission bin 835 is provided.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained.

First, the case where the slide roof 20 is opened will be explained.

When the electric motor 70 is driven open, the drive wire 80 is pulled, and the slider 81 is slid toward the rear of the vehicle from the state shown in FIG.

As the slider 81 slides backward, the slide transmission bin 835 slides within the roof guide rail 44 and the floating elongated hole 26, and at the same time, the tilt guide 9 engaged with the tilt drive transmission piece 84 of the slider 81 by the transmission roller 922.
0 is also slid backwards.

As the slide transmission bin 835 slides, the position where both the roof guide rail 44 and the floating elongated hole 26 overlap moves rearward, and thereby the roof bracket 23 on the floating elongated hole 26 side is raised.

Further, by the backward sliding of the tilt guide 90, the tilt frame 50 to which the tilt guide 90 is connected is slid backward along the guide frame 40, and by the backward sliding of the tilt frame 50, the tilt mechanism 60 is activated as described above. A tilt-up operation is performed, and the tilt link 61 is rotated in the upright direction.

Tilt mechanism 6 that involves lifting of the roof bracket 23 described above
By the tilt-up operation of 0, the slide roof 20 rotates around the front end position and the rear part is raised.

Then, when the tilt link 61 has completely rotated and the tilt-up operation of the tilt mechanism 60 has been completed, the rear end of the roller link 92 of the tilt guide 90 has reached the release part 37, as shown in FIG. The release part 37 is guided by the bent shape and rotated upward, and the rear roller 922 is further pushed up against the upper slope of the tilt drive transmission piece 84, and is engaged with the transmission piece 84. When the slide transmission pin 835 reaches the rear end of the floating elongated hole 26 and ends the floating relationship, the roof bracket 23 stops rising. Further, the guide roller 25 is located at the upper end of the bending portion 49.

Note that by maintaining the posture of the tilt guide 90 by the spring 94, forward sliding of the tilt frame 50 that is not caused by the tilt drive transmission piece 84 is restricted.

When the electric motor 70 is stopped when the tilt-up operation of the tilt ha mechanism 60 is completed, the outer slide roof device A is maintained in the tilt-up state.

Therefore, as the rear part of the slide roof 20 rises, the front part of the slide roof 20 also rises so that the center of rotation when the slide roof 20 is tilted up is located near the outer seal 21 at its front end. , if the outer seal 21 or inner seal 106 is pressed with excessive force,
This prevents the tilt mechanism 60 from being overloaded, and also prevents a gap from forming between the front end of the slide roof 20 and the front fixed roof 102.

When the electric motor 70 is further driven from the above-mentioned tilt-up state, the slider links 832 and 8 of the slider 81
33 is being erected, the slide transmission pin 835 is moved rearward within the roof guide rail 44, and the sliding roof 20 starts sliding backwards.

In addition, when the slide roof 20 slides, the central front part of the slide roof 20 is slid and guided by the guide roller 25 provided on the roof bracket 23 and the roof guide rail 44 of the guide frame 40.
The left and right sides are slide-guided by a side guide rail 24 provided on the roof site rail portion 22 and rollers 53, 53 provided on the tilt frame 50.

Then, when the slider 81 comes into contact with the stopper 38 provided at the rear end of the slider guide rail 31, the sliding of the slide roof 20 is stopped and the driving of the electric motor 70 is stopped.

Next, a case in which the slide roof 20 is closed will be described.

When the electric motor 70 is driven to close, the drive wire 80 is pushed out, and the slider 81 is slid forward within the slider guide rail 31.

As the slider 81 slides forward, driving force is transmitted from the slide transmission pin 835 to the roof bracket 23, and the slide roof 20 begins to slide forward. At this time, the position of the floating elongated hole 26 is set to the roof guide rail 44.
When the slide transmission pin 835 moves downward relative to the guide roller 25, the slide transmission pin 835 moves freely within the floating elongated hole 26.
The roof bracket 23 is connected to the roof guide rail 4 by
4, the slide transmission pin 835 transmits the driving force without any movement.

After that, the front end of the sliding roof 20 is connected to the front fixed roof 1.
When it reaches the step part 02 and becomes tilted up at 7g, the guide roller 25 of the roof bracket 23 reaches the upper end of the bent part 49 of the roof guide rail 44, and
The tilt drive transmission piece 84 comes into contact with the transmission roller 922 on the front side of the roller link 92.

Then, when the tilt drive transmission piece 84 presses the transmission roller 922, the roller link 92 and the tilt guide link 93
is rotated and moved forward against the biasing force of the spring 94, and as a result, when the tilt guide roller 921 separates from the release part 37, the position regulating force on the tilt frame 50 disappears, and the tilt guide 90 and the tilt frame 50 move forward. The tilt mechanism 60 starts tilting down, and the rear part of the slide roof 20 lowers.

Moreover, at the front part of the slide roof 20.

When the guide roller 25 reaches the bending part 49, the forward sliding of the roof bracket 23 is restricted, and it becomes possible to move downward, and the slide transmission pin 835 moves into the floating elongated hole 2.
6, the transmitted driving force is applied to lower the front part of the sliding roof 20.

Thereafter, when the tilt guide 90 reaches the front end of the tilt guide rail 33 and the slide transmission pin 835 reaches the front end of the floating elongated hole 26, the slide roof 20 is completely closed and the drive of the electric motor 70 is stopped. be done.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and the present invention may be modified even if there are design changes within the scope of the gist of the present invention. included.

For example, the opening may not be formed over the entire width of the roof, but may be surrounded by a fixed roof on its outer periphery.In addition, the guide frame and tilt frame may not be formed in the center of the opening, but on both left and right sides. Alternatively, openings may be provided at two locations on the left and right sides of the roof, sandwiching the central fixed roof, and each of the openings may be provided with a sliding roof device so that they can be opened and closed separately.

In addition, in the embodiment, the main frame was provided as the slide guide portion of the drive wire and the tilt guide, but as described above, when the guide frame and the tilt frame are provided on the left and right sides of the opening, the main frame is provided as the slide guide portion. A fixed roof may be used without using a fixed roof, or a drive device may be provided in front of the opening.

Further, in the embodiment, an electric motor is used as the drive device, but a drive source other than electricity or a device with a manual handle or the like may be used.

Furthermore, as long as the tilt mechanism lifts the rear part of the sliding roof, it is not limited to one that is operated by sliding the tilt frame, but may be one that is operated by a drive wire, and is not limited to one that uses links. A pantograph-like structure or the like may be used, or a structure using links or a structure supported by a plurality of links to prevent rattling while driving may be used.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, in the outer slide roof device of the present invention, since the slide roof is rotated around the front end when tilting up, the following effects can be obtained.

(a) The front end of the sliding roof can be brought into close contact with the bottom without any gaps, improving the sealing performance of the vehicle interior.

(b) Even if an inner seal is provided that contacts the back surface near the front end of the slide roof, the inner seal will not be pressed during tilt-up, and conversely, the reaction force will not cause an excessive load on the drive device.

(c) There is no gap between the front end of the slide roof and the vehicle body during the tilt-up state and during the tilt-up, and wind does not blow into the vehicle interior from between the two.

Additionally, the roof bracket that supports the front part of the sliding roof is provided behind the front end of the sliding roof and is not housed within the front fixed roof, resulting in the effect that the opening can be made wider. .

Furthermore, in the embodiment, since the tilt mechanism is operated by sliding the tilt frame, there is no need for wiring of drive wires for operating the tilt mechanism, resulting in a simple structure.

Furthermore, since the opening is formed over the entire width of the roof, there is nothing that obstructs the view to the outside of the vehicle body, providing a sufficient sense of openness, and at the same time, the main frame maintains the strength of the vehicle body.

Further, since all the mechanisms for sliding the sliding roof are provided on the inside of the vehicle rather than the inner seal, there is no need to take measures for waterproofing, and the degree of freedom in arrangement is increased.

In addition, since the tilt mechanism rotates by sliding the lower end of the tilt link back and forth, the operating space is small and the amount of protrusion toward the inside of the vehicle is small.
