Abstract

An assembling determination method and an assembling determination device for a vehicular opening-closing body driving device can determine a normal/abnormal winding of a drive wire around a spiral groove to ensure a quick and accurate action. The assembling determination method includes winding a drive wire around the spiral groove on the peripheral surface of a drive drum, wherein the drive wire drives a vehicular opening-closing body, arranging an inspection jig to face the drive drum surface via a clearance, determining that the drive wire is wound around the spiral groove in an abnormal manner when the inspection jig contacts the drive wire, and determining that the drive wire to be wound around the spiral groove in a normal manner when the inspection jig and the drive wire are contactless.

Claims (16)

1. An assembling determination method for a vehicular opening-closing body driving device, comprising:

a step of winding a drive wire around a spiral groove, the drive wire driving a vehicular opening-closing body, the spiral groove being formed on a peripheral surface of a drive drum;

a step of arranging an inspection jig so as to face the peripheral surface of the drive drum via a clearance; and

a step of determining normal or abnormal winding of the drive wire around the spiral groove corresponding to a contact or a non-contact of the inspection jig with the drive wire, wherein

the step of determining determines the drive wire to be wound around the spiral groove in an abnormal manner when the inspection jig contacts the drive wire, and determines the drive wire to be wound around the spiral groove in a normal manner when the inspection jig and the drive wire are contactless.

2. The assembling determination method for the vehicular opening-closing body driving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the step of determining is executed while rotatably driving the drive drum.

3. The assembling determination method for the vehicular opening-closing body driving device according to claim 1 , wherein

the vehicular opening-closing body driving device includes a drum housing that rotatably houses and supports the drive drum, and the drum housing includes an inspection jig arranging portion for arranging the inspection jig.

4. The assembling determination method for the vehicular opening-closing body driving device according to claim 3 , wherein

the drum housing includes a large-diameter bottomed cylindrical portion and a small-diameter cylindrical portion, the large-diameter bottomed cylindrical portion rotatably houses and supports the drive drum, the small-diameter cylindrical portion is bulged from a part in a circumferential direction of the large-diameter bottomed cylindrical portion to an outer peripheral side, and the small-diameter cylindrical portion constitutes the inspection jig arranging portion.

5. An assembling determination device for a vehicular opening-closing body driving device, comprising:

a drive drum that includes a spiral groove on a peripheral surface of the drive drum, a drive wire being wound around the spiral groove, the drive wire driving a vehicular opening-closing body;

an inspection jig arranged so as to face the peripheral surface of the drive drum via a clearance; and

a determination unit that determines normal or abnormal winding of the drive wire around the spiral groove corresponding to a contact or a non-contact of the inspection jig with the drive wire, wherein

the determination unit determines the drive wire to be wound around the spiral groove in an abnormal manner when the inspection jig contacts the drive wire, and determines the drive wire to be wound around the spiral groove in a normal manner when the inspection jig and the drive wire are contactless.
