Opening/closing apparatus for vehicle
Provided is an opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle capable of protecting a cable configured to open and close an opening/closing body even when a large external force is applied to the opening/closing body. A cross-sectional shape of a cable holding groove in a direction crossing a longitudinal direction of a cable guide is an arc shape configured to be in surface contact with a closing-side cable and an opening-side cable. Accordingly, a pressing force applied to the closing-side cable and the opening-side cable can be dispersed in a wide range of the closing-side cable and the opening-side cable rather than only in one part.
1. An opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle configured to open and close an opening/closing body, the opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle comprising:
a guide rail configured to movably support the opening/closing body;
a driving apparatus installed on the opening/closing body;
a cable guide installed along the guide rail;
a first cable wound or let out by the driving apparatus and having a tip fixed to one side of the cable guide in a longitudinal direction of the cable guide;
a second cable wound or let out by the driving apparatus and having a tip fixed to the other side of the cable guide in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide; and
a cable holding groove configured in the cable guide and configured to hold the first cable and the second cable,
wherein a cross-sectional shape of the cable holding groove in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the cable guide is an arc shape configured to be in surface contact with the first cable and the second cable.
2. The opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the cable holding groove is recessed toward an inside of a passenger compartment.
3. The opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the cable guide is formed of a resin.
4. The opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the cable guide is formed of a resin.
5. The opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the cable guide comprises at least two split bodies divided in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide, and a movement allowing section configured to allow approaching movement and separating movement of the split bodies is installed therebetween.
6. The opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein, among the split bodies that form the cable guide, the split bodies on both sides of the cable guide in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide are respectively fixed to the vehicle body.
7. The opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 5 , wherein an elastic member is installed between the split bodies that adjacent to each other.
8. The opening/closing apparatus for a vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein an elastic member is installed between the split bodies that adjacent to each other.
