Background
As an electric storage unit of a vehicle outside mirror device and a vehicle outside mirror device that can obtain a waterproof effect without a seal, a rubber gasket, a waterproof tape, or the like, there is a device shown in patent document 1, for example.
The door mirror device of patent document 1 includes a base, a driving mechanism, and a cover, and a wide portion is formed in an opposing wall of a peripheral wall of the base as a front end, and a gap in the portion is sufficiently larger than a gap in an engagement portion located below the wide portion. As a result, in the door mirror device of patent document 1, when the liquid such as water passing through the gap of the fitting portion reaches the wide portion due to the capillary phenomenon, the gap of the wide portion is sufficiently larger than the gap of the fitting portion, and therefore the resistance against the gravity of the liquid due to the surface tension becomes small, and it becomes difficult to pass through the gap of the wide portion by the capillary phenomenon. Thus, the door mirror device of patent document 1 can improve the waterproof performance of the driving mechanism mounted on the inner side of the base.

A connector 79 is electrically connected to the socket S. The substrate 78 and the socket S are mounted on the cover 6. The connector 79 is detachable from the cover 6.
(description of gearbox 5)
The gear case 5 is a member connecting the rotation shaft 20 mounted to the door D and the mirror housing 40 of the mirror assembly 4, and thus is required to be a material having high rigidity. Examples of the material with high rigidity include PA (nylon) to which glass fibers are added. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the gear case 5 has a standing wall 50 surrounding the motor M and the rotational force transmission mechanism 7. The upper portion 51 of the upright wall 50 is open.
As shown in fig. 5, 6, 12, and 13, a bearing 55 for pivotally supporting the lower end of the first worm wheel 71 is provided at the bottom of the gear case 5. In addition, two bearing portions 52 that pivotally support both ends of the shaft 730 of the second worm wheel 73 are provided at the bottom of the gear case 5. The rotation center line H of the shaft 730 of the second worm wheel 73 and the center line G (rotation center line G) of the rotation shaft 20 are in a mutually perpendicular state (orthogonal state). Further, two positioning convex portions 53 as positioning portions of the cover 6 are provided near the two bearing portions 52 at the bottom of the gear case 5.
(description of cover 6)
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the cover 6 includes: a fitting wall 60 fitted around the upper portion of the standing wall 50 from the outside; and a cover wall 61 that covers the upper opening 51 of the standing wall 50. The cover 6 need not be particularly rigid. In contrast, the cover 6 is provided with fitting pieces 81 and 810 of the fitting member 8 described later, and is therefore made of a resin material having elasticity.
As shown in fig. 12 and 13, two holding portions 62 that hold a gap in the direction of the center line G of the rotation shaft 20 with respect to both ends of the shaft 730 of the second worm wheel 73 are provided in the cover 6 so as to face the two bearing portions 52. In addition, two positioning abutment surfaces 63 as positioning portions of the cover 6 are provided on the cover 6 so as to face the two positioning projections 53 and so as to be adjacent to the two holding portions 62. The positioning abutment surface 63 of the cover 6 and the positioning convex portion 53 of the gear case 5 constitute a positioning portion that determines the position of the cover 6 with respect to the rotation shaft 20 of the gear case 5 in the direction of the center line G.
(description of the fitting Member 8)
As shown in fig. 3 to 6, a fitting member 8 for mutually assembling the gear case 5 and the cover 6 is provided in the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5 and the fitting wall 60 of the cover 6. The fitting member 8 has a fitting convex portion 80 and fitting sheet portions 81 and 810. The fitting convex portion 80 is provided below a lower narrow passage portion 90D described below in the gear case 5. The fitting piece portions 81 and 810 are provided below the lower narrow passage portion 90D in the cover 6.
Fitting openings 84, 840 for fitting the fitting convex portions 80 are provided in the fitting piece portions 81, 810. By fitting the fitting convex portion 80 into the fitting opening portions 84, 840, the fitting convex portion 80 and the fitting piece portions 81, 810 are fitted to each other. In this example, the fitting piece portion includes both an elastically deformable fitting piece portion 81 that is elastically deformed in the direction of the center line G (rotation center line G) of the rotation shaft 20 and is fitted to the fitting convex portion 80, and a general fitting piece portion 810 that is not elastically deformed in the direction of the center line G of the rotation shaft 20 and is fitted to the fitting convex portion 80.
As shown in fig. 4, the fitting convex portion 80 is fitted into the fitting opening 84 of the elastically deformable fitting piece portion 81, and the elastically deformable fitting piece portion 81 is fitted into the fitting convex portion 80 in a state of being elastically deformed in the direction of the center line G of the rotation shaft 20. The fitting convex portion 80 is fitted into the fitting opening 840 of the general fitting piece 810, and the general fitting piece 810 is fitted into the fitting convex portion 80 in this state (in an inelastic deformed state).
As described above, the cover 6 is assembled to the gear case 5 by fitting the fitting convex portion 80 of the fitting member 8 with the elastically deformable fitting piece portion 81 and the general fitting piece portion 810. As a result, water and dust can be prevented from entering the electric storage unit 3, and the motor M and the gears 71 to 74 can be prevented from floating.
(description of waterproof Structure between gearbox 5 and cover 6)
As shown in fig. 5 to 7 and 9 to 11, an upper narrow passage portion 90U, a lower wide space portion 9D, and a lower narrow passage portion 90D are provided between an outer surface of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5 (an outer surface of an upper end portion above the fitting member 8 in this example) and an inner surface of the fitting wall 60 of the cover 6 (an inner surface above the fitting member 8 in this example) in the circumferential direction and in the upper and lower directions, respectively. An upper wide space 9U is provided between the upper end surface of the standing wall 50 and the surface (lower surface in this example) of the covering wall 61 in the circumferential direction. A water receiving groove 91 is provided in the circumferential direction on the upper end surface of the standing wall 50. A drain notch 92 is provided on a surface (lower surface in this example) of the cover wall 61, and is provided vertically in the circumferential direction so as to face the water receiving groove 91.
The upper wide space 9U is provided by forming a gap 93 between the upper end surface of the standing wall 50 and the lower surface of the cover wall 61. The gap 93 is formed and maintained by a positioning convex portion 53 and a positioning contact surface 63 which are positioning portions provided in the gear case 5 and the cover 6. As shown in fig. 13, the positioning convex portion 53 and the positioning contact surface 63, which are positioning portions, are provided in the electric storage unit 3 in which the rotational force transmitting mechanism 7 is housed.
The bottom of the water receiving groove 91 is inclined at an upward gradient from the outside (the outside surface side of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5) to the inside (the inside surface side of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5). That is, the wall surface of the outer side of the water receiving tank 91 is vertical, and the wall surface of the inner side of the water receiving tank 91 is inclined upward from the outside to the inside. As a result, as shown in fig. 11 (B), the water W in the water receiving tank 91 is stored so as to be biased to the outside of the water receiving tank 91. The vertical wall surface on the outer side of the water receiving groove 91 is located further outside than the vertical wall surface on the outer side of the drain cutout 92 (the fitting wall 60 side of the cover 6).
The lower wide space 9D is provided by forming a recess 94 in a portion between the upper narrow passage portion 90U and the lower narrow passage portion 90D in the outer surface of the upper end portion of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5. The width between the outer side surface of the vertical wall 50 of the gear case 5, i.e., the bottom surface of the recess 94, and the inner side surface of the fitting wall 60 of the cover 6 in the lower wide space 9D is wide.
The upper narrow passage portion 90U and the lower narrow passage portion 90D are provided by forming convex portions 95 in an upper portion and a lower portion of the concave portion 94 in an outer surface of the upper end portion of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5, respectively. The upper narrow passage portion 90U and the lower narrow passage portion 90D protrude further outward than the outer side surface of the vertical wall 50 of the gear case 5, that is, the top surface of the convex portion 95. The top surface of the protruding portion 95 abuts against the inner side surface of the fitting wall 60 of the cover 6, and the width therebetween is narrow.
A plurality of upper water penetration speed reducing grooves 99U are provided in the upper narrow passage portion 90U in the circumferential direction and up and down, on the outer side surface of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5, that is, on the top surface of the protruding portion 95. A plurality of lower water penetration speed reducing grooves 96D are provided in the lower narrow passage portion 90D in the circumferential direction and up and down, on the outer side surface of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5, that is, on the top surface of the protruding portion 95.
A plurality of upper drain grooves 97U for draining the water W in the water receiving groove 91 toward the lower wide space 9D are provided at the upper end of the vertical wall 50 of the gear case 5. The upper drain 97U may be one.
As shown in fig. 7, the upper drain tank 97U is provided at a position different from a lower drain tank 97D described later in the vertical direction, and is provided at a position other than the inner side (left side in this example) and the outer side (right side in this example) of the vehicle of the gear case 5. The upper drain groove 97U is provided at a portion other than a portion facing the gap 42 between the edge of the opening of the mirror housing 40 and the edge of the mirror 41 of the mirror unit 4. This prevents water W entering the mirror assembly 4 (inside the mirror housing 40 and the mirror 41) from the gap 42 from entering the electric storage unit 3 through the upper drain groove 97U.
The gear case 5 in the lower narrow passage portion 90D is provided with a lower drain 97D for draining the water W in the lower wide space portion 9D to the outside (outside) of the electric storage unit 3. As shown in fig. 9, the lower drain grooves 97D are provided on the inner side and the outer side (the vicinity of the inner side and the outer side in the vehicle width direction) of the gear case 5, respectively. The inner and outer sides of the gear case 5 in the vehicle width direction are portions other than the portions facing the gap 42 between the edge of the opening of the mirror housing 40 and the edge of the mirror 41 of the mirror assembly 4. Thus, the lower drain groove 97D is provided in the gear case 5 at a position other than the position facing the gap 42.
An extended drain groove 98 is provided in the front-rear direction from the lower drain groove 97D to a lower portion of the outer surface of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5. The extended drain groove 98 is provided on the inner and outer sides of the gear case 5 in the vehicle width direction so that water (W) is communicated from the rear E side of the vehicle to the front F side of the vehicle.
(description of the effects of the embodiment)
The electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment have the above-described configuration, and the operation thereof will be described below.
(description of electric storage)
First, as shown in fig. 1, in a state where the mirror assembly 4 is located at the use position a (use state), a switch (not shown) in the vehicle interior is operated, and power is supplied to the motor M via the connector 79, the socket S, and the substrate 78, so that the motor M is driven. Then, the rotational force of the motor M is transmitted to the clutch gear 74 fixed to the rotation shaft 20 via the output shaft, the first worm gear 71, the helical gear 72, and the second worm gear 73 of the reduction mechanism. At this time, since the clutch gear 74 is in a state of being unable to rotate with respect to the rotating shaft 20 together with the clutch seat 75, the second worm wheel 73 of the speed reduction mechanism is rotated about the center line G (rotation center line G) of the rotating shaft 20 with the clutch gear 74 as a fixed gear by the rotation transmitted from the motor M. As shown in fig. 1, by this rotational movement, the mirror assembly 4 incorporating the electric storage unit 3 is rotationally moved in a clockwise direction from the use position a to the rear storage position B about the center line G of the rotation shaft 20 when viewed from above.
(description of electric recovery)
Next, as shown in fig. 1, in a state (storage state) in which the mirror assembly 4 is located at the rear storage position B, a switch (not shown) in the vehicle interior is operated to drive the motor M. Then, the rotational force of the motor M is transmitted to the clutch gear 74 in a non-rotatable state via the reduction mechanism. Thereby, the method is used for the treatment of the heart disease. As shown in fig. 1, the mirror assembly 4 incorporating the electric storage unit 3 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction from the rear storage position B to the use position a about the center line G of the rotation shaft 20 when viewed from above.
(description of buffer rotation)
As shown in fig. 1, a clockwise or counterclockwise force, that is, a force greater than the electric rotational force (a manually generated force, a force when the mirror assembly 4 is touched arbitrarily) is applied to the mirror assembly 4 located at the use position a when viewed from above. Then, the gear case 5 attached to the mirror assembly 4 is rotationally moved in a clockwise direction or in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from above. At this time, the clutch seat 75 is non-rotatably fitted to the rotation shaft 20, and therefore the clutch gear 74 pushes up the clutch seat 75, and the fitted state of the clutch gear 74 and the clutch seat 75 is released. At this time, the clutch seat 75 moves (lifts) against the spring force of the spring 76.
As a result, the gear case 5 (including the cover 6, the motor M, and the rotational force transmitting mechanism 7) is rotated clockwise when viewed from above. Thereby, the method is used for the treatment of the heart disease. As shown in fig. 1, the mirror assembly 4 rotates clockwise from the use position a to the rear storage position B due to the buffer action when viewed from above, or the mirror assembly 4 rotates counterclockwise from the use position a to the front dumping position C due to the buffer action when viewed from above.
(description of restoration of buffer rotation)
Next, as shown in fig. 1, a counterclockwise or clockwise force is applied to the mirror assembly 4, which is positioned at the rear storage position B or the front tilting position C by the buffer rotational movement, when viewed from above. Then, the mirror assembly 4 is rotationally moved in the counterclockwise direction or the clockwise direction from the rear storage position B or the front dumping position C to the use position a when viewed from above. At this time, the clutch seat 75 in the disengaged state with the clutch gear 74 moves (descends) due to the spring force of the spring 76, and the clutch gear 74 and the clutch seat 75 are in the continuous state.
(description of Water-blocking action)
Hereinafter, the water blocking effect will be described with reference to fig. 7 to 11. In fig. 9 and 10, in order to clarify the path of immersion of the water W and the water vapor W, in the case of normal rain indicated by the thick solid line arrow and the thick broken line arrow, the water W flows downward from above with respect to the mirror assembly 4, and therefore the water W does not infiltrate into the electric storage unit 3 disposed inside the mirror assembly 4. However, in the case of washing the vehicle, as shown in fig. 8, the high-pressure water W may be sprayed to the mirror assembly 4 from the rear E side of the vehicle to the front F side of the vehicle, that is, from the mirror 41 side. In this case, there is a possibility that the water W enters the inside of the mirror assembly 4 from the gap 42 between the edge of the opening portion of the mirror housing 40 of the mirror assembly 4 and the edge of the mirror 41, and contacts the electric storage unit 3 to be immersed in the electric storage unit 3.
Here, as shown in fig. 9, most of the water W entering the mirror assembly 4 from the gap 42 does not enter the electric storage unit 3, but passes through the extended drain grooves 98 on the lower side of the lower drain grooves 97D on the inner and outer sides in the vehicle width direction of the electric storage unit 3, and goes from the rear E side of the vehicle toward the front F side of the vehicle, that is, the front F side (depth side) of the vehicle of the mirror housing 40. On the other hand, as shown in fig. 7 and 10 (B), a part of the water W entering the inside of the mirror assembly 4 from the gap 42 may enter the lower wide space portion 9D through the lower narrow passage portion 90D. In this case, the plurality of lower water immersion rate reducing grooves 96D reduce (reduce) the immersion rate of the water W.
As shown in fig. 10 (C), the water W that has entered the lower wide space 9D further decreases (lowers) the entering speed in the lower wide space 9D in the wide space, and does not rise upward from the lower wide space 9D and accumulate. As shown in fig. 7 and 10 (E), the water W accumulated in the lower wide space portion 9D flows along the lower wide space portion 9D, and is discharged to the outside of the electric storage unit 3 from the lower drain grooves 97D provided on the inner and outer sides in the vehicle width direction.
Here, as shown in fig. 10D, there is a possibility that a part of the water W (water droplets) remains in the lower wide space 9D. As indicated by the broken-line arrows and the thick-broken-line arrows in fig. 7 and 10 (D), water W remaining in the lower wide space 9D may become water vapor W due to an increase in air temperature, and may enter the upper wide space 9U through the upper narrow passage 90U. In this case, the upper water immersion rate of the plurality of the upper water immersion rate reducing grooves 99U reduces (lowers) the water vapor W immersion rate.
As shown in fig. 11 a, the water W (moisture) that has been immersed in the upper wide space 9U as the water vapor W is liquefied again on the vertical wall surface outside the drain cutout 92. When the re-liquefied water W increases to some extent, it falls from the drain cutout 92 to the water receiving tank 91 as shown in fig. 11 (B). As shown in fig. 11 (C), the water W falling down to the water receiving tank 91 flows along the water receiving tank 91 or is discharged from the upper drainage tank 97U to the lower wide space 9D along the water receiving tank 91. As described above, the water W discharged to the lower wide space 9D flows along the lower wide space 9D and is discharged from the lower drain tank 97D to the outside of the electric storage unit 3 as shown in fig. 7 and 10 (E).
Here, since the bottom of the water receiving groove 91 is inclined at an upward gradient from the outside to the inside, as shown in fig. 11 (B), water W is stored outside the water receiving groove 91. Therefore, as shown in fig. 11 (C), the water W accumulated outside the water receiving tank 91 is easily discharged from the upper drain tank 97U to the lower wide space 9D. On the other hand, the outer vertical wall surface of the water receiving groove 91 is located further outside than the outer vertical wall surface of the drain cutout 92. Therefore, even if the water W remaining without being drained from the upper drain tank 97U becomes water vapor again, as described above, the water W (moisture) is again liquefied on the vertical wall surface outside the drain cutout 92 as shown in fig. 11 (a) and falls down to the water receiving tank 91. As a result, the water W (moisture) does not enter the electric storage unit 3 in which the motor M and the rotational force transmission mechanism 7 are housed from the upper wide space portion 9U.
(description of effects of the embodiment)
The electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment have the above-described structure and operation, and the effects thereof will be described below.

As a result, the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 according to this embodiment can prevent the water W remaining in the lower wide space 9D from becoming water vapor W due to an increase in air temperature, and from entering the electric storage unit 3 through the upper narrow passage 90U.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of the present embodiment, the upper wide space 9U is provided between the upper end surface of the standing wall 50 and the lower surface of the cover wall 61, so that the water vapor W passing through the upper narrow passage 90U can be prevented from entering the electric storage unit 3 further forward than the upper wide space 9U due to capillary phenomenon.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage type door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, a plurality of lower water penetration speed reducing grooves 96D are provided in the circumferential direction on the outer side surface of the standing wall 50 in the lower narrow passage portion 90D. As a result, in the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, the water W passing through the lower narrow passage portion 90D is lowered at a plurality of lower water penetration rate lowering grooves 96D. As a result, the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage type door mirror device 1 according to this embodiment can reduce the speed of the water W entering the lower wide space 9D through the lower narrow passage portion 90D, and accordingly can prevent the water W from entering the electric storage unit 3.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, a plurality of upper water penetration speed reducing grooves 99U are provided in the circumferential direction on the outer side surface of the standing wall 50 in the upper narrow passage portion 90U. As a result, in the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 according to this embodiment, even if the water W in the lower wide space portion 9D becomes water vapor W due to an increase in air temperature, the penetration rate of the water vapor W passing through the upper narrow passage portion 90U is reduced by the plurality of upper water penetration rate reducing grooves 99U. As a result, the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage type door mirror device 1 according to this embodiment can reduce the water vapor W entering the upper wide space 9U through the upper narrow passage portion 90U, and accordingly can prevent the water W from entering the electric storage unit 3.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage type door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, the bottom of the water receiving groove 91 is inclined at an upward gradient from the outside to the inside. As a result, in the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 according to the embodiment, the water W falling from the drain cutout 92 to the water receiving tank 91 is easily accumulated outside the water receiving tank 91, so that the water W accumulated in the water receiving tank 91 is prevented from easily accumulating and from entering the electric storage unit 3 from outside via inside.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, the vertical wall surface on the outer side of the water receiving groove 91 is located further to the outer side than the vertical wall surface on the outer side of the drain cutout 92. As a result, in the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 according to the embodiment, even if the water W accumulated outside the water receiving groove 91 becomes water vapor again, the water vapor W is liquefied again on the vertical wall surface outside the drain cutout 92 and falls down to the water receiving groove 91, so that the water W accumulated outside the water receiving groove 91 can be prevented from being immersed in the electric storage unit 3 as water vapor W.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, an upper drain tank 97U for draining water W in the water receiving tank 91 toward the lower wide space 9D is provided at the upper end of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5. As a result, the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment can drain the water W stored in the water receiving tank 91 to the lower wide space 9D side via the upper drain tank 97U, and thus can prevent the water W from entering the electric storage unit 3 via the water receiving tank 91.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, a lower drain groove 97D for draining the water W in the lower wide space portion 9D to the outside of the electric storage unit 3 is provided in the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5 in the lower narrow passage portion 90D. As a result, the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment can drain the water W stored in the lower wide space portion 9D to the outside of the electric storage unit 3 via the lower drain groove 97D, and thus can prevent the water W from entering the electric storage unit 3 via the lower wide space portion 9D.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, the lower drain grooves 97D are provided on the inner side and the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the gear case 5, and are located at positions other than the positions facing the gap 42 between the edge of the opening of the mirror housing 40 of the mirror assembly 4 and the edge of the mirror 41. As a result, the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 according to this embodiment can prevent the water W that has entered the mirror assembly 4 from the gap 42 from easily entering the lower wide space 9D through the lower drain groove 97D.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, the upper drain tank 97U and the lower drain tank 97D are provided at positions different from each other in the vertical direction, and therefore the upper drain tank 97U and the lower drain tank 97D are in a labyrinth shape. As a result, the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 according to this embodiment can prevent the water W having entered the mirror assembly 4 from the gap 42 from entering the lower wide space 9D through the lower drain groove 97D having a labyrinth shape and from entering the upper wide space 9U through the upper drain groove 97U.
In the electric storage unit 3 and the electric storage door mirror device 1 of this embodiment, an extended drain groove 98 is provided in the front-rear direction from the lower drain groove 97D to a lower portion of the outer surface of the standing wall 50 of the gear case 5.
