Tension roller of power slide device for vehicle sliding door
A power slide device includes a first cable connected to a wire drum and moving in a first direction when wound up by the wire drum, a second cable connected to the wire drum and moving in a second direction when wound up by the wire drum, a first tension roller having a first abutting surface abutting against the first cable, and a second tension roller having a second abutting surface abutting against the second cable. The first abutting surface is taken as an inclined surface becoming gradually shorter in diameter toward the first direction, and the second abutting surface is taken as an inclined surface becoming gradually shorter in diameter toward the second direction.
1. A power slide device for sliding door, comprising:
a wire drum rotated by a motor;
a first cable connected to the wire drum and moving in a first direction when wound up by the wire drum;
a second cable connected to the wire drum and moving in a second direction when wound up by the wire drum;
wherein, when the wire drum rotates in a door-opening direction, the first wire cable is wound up by the wire drum, and at the same time, the second wire cable is pulled out from the wire drum so as to allow the slide door to be slid in the door-opening direction, and when the wire drum rotates in a door-closing direction, the first cable is pulled out from the wire drum, and at the same time, the second cable is wound up by the wire drum so as to allow the slide door to be slid in the door-closing direction;
a first tension roller having a first abutting surface abutting against the first cable; and
a second tension roller having a second abutting surface abutting against the second cable;
wherein the first abutting surface has an inclined surface becoming gradually shorter in diameter toward the first direction along the entire height thereof, and the second abutting surface is made an inclined surface becoming gradually shorter in diameter toward the second direction along the entire heights thereof.
2. The power slide device for sliding door according to claim 1 , wherein the inclined angles of the first abutting surface and the second abutting surface are made three to seven degrees.
