Opening and closing device for vehicle sliding door
An opening and closing device for a vehicle sliding door, including: a latch; a ratchet; a power closer; a closing lever configured to rotate the latch in a closing direction from a half latched position to a fully latched position, by being rotated by motor power of the power closer; a cancel lever configured to shift between: a coupling position where rotation of the closing lever is transmitted to the latch; and a cancel position where rotation of the closing lever is not transmitted to the latch; and a first lever and a second lever configured to move the cancel lever from the coupling position to the cancel position by operation of an operating handle of a sliding door, wherein the cancel lever includes a non-flat reinforced contacting part to which the first lever and the second lever are independently configured to brought into contact.
1. An opening and closing device for a vehicle sliding door, comprising:
a latch configured to engage with a striker provided on a vehicle body;
a ratchet configured to engage with the latch so as to maintain engagement of the latch with the striker;
a power closer including a motor;
a closing lever configured to rotate the latch in a closing direction from a half latched position to a fully latched position, by being rotated by motor power of the power closer;
a cancel lever configured to shift between:
a coupling position where rotation of the closing lever is transmitted to the latch; and
a cancel position where rotation of the closing lever is not transmitted to the latch; and
a first lever and a second lever, each of the first lever and the second lever being configured to move the cancel lever from the coupling position to the cancel position by operation of an operating handle of a sliding door, the operating handle comprising at least one of an outer handle or an inner handle, wherein
the cancel lever includes a non-flat reinforced contacting part with which the first lever and the second lever are independently configured to be brought into contact,
the first lever and the second lever are pivotally supported on a common shaft,
the cancel lever is pivotally supported on a cancel shaft different from the common shaft, and
the common shaft and the cancel shaft are in parallel with each other.
2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein
the closing lever is pivotally supported on a closing shaft different from the common shaft, and
a first line segment that connects the reinforced contacting part with the common shaft and a second line segment that connects the reinforced contacting part with the closing shaft are provided so as to form a V-shape.
3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein
the operating handle includes the outer handle and the inner handle,
the first lever is coupled to one of the outer handle or the inner handle via a safety lock, and the ratchet is rotated in a latch disengaging direction by operation of the operating handle, and
the second lever is coupled to one of the outer handle or the inner handle not via the safety lock.
4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein
the operating handle includes the outer handle and the inner handle,
the first lever is coupled to the outer handle,
the second lever is coupled to the inner handle, and
the first lever is configured to rotate the ratchet in a latch disengaging direction via a safety lock.
5. The device according to claim 4 , wherein the inner handle and the outer handle are operatively coupled to each other via a child safety lock.
6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein
the operating handle includes the outer handle and the inner handle,
the first lever is coupled to one of the outer handle or the inner handle via a safety lock, and the ratchet is rotated in a latch disengaging direction by operation of the operating handle, and
the second lever is coupled to one of the outer handle or the inner handle not via the safety lock.
7. The device according to claim 1 , wherein
the operating handle includes the outer handle and the inner handle,
the first lever is coupled to the outer handle,
the second lever is coupled to the inner handle, and
the first lever is configured to rotate the ratchet in a latch disengaging direction via a safety lock.
8. The device according to claim 7 , wherein the inner handle and the outer handle are operatively coupled to each other via a child safety lock.
