VEHICLE DOOR STRUCTURE

A vehicle door structure that suppresses a situation in which the door window detaches from the above-mentioned guide rail includes a front guide rail that holds a door window while allowing a raising and lowering operation of the door window, and a guide rail support portion that fixes the front guide rail to a door inner panel, wherein the guide rail support portion includes a first section that is fixed to a front face portion of a door inner panel, a second section that extends rearward from a vehicle-width-direction inner side of the first section, and a third section that is provided at a rear end portion of the second section and that is fixed to the front guide rail, and the second section and the third section are configured to be supported in a cantilever manner with respect to the first section.

PULLEY, AND WINDOW REGULATOR COMPRISING PULLEY
20230279711 · 2023-09-07 ·

A pulley includes a main winding portion including an annular main winding groove, where a wire is windable, formed between a first flange and a second flange; and an auxiliary winding portion including an auxiliary winding groove, where the wire is windable, formed between the second flange and a third flange. The auxiliary winding groove includes a closest portion closest to the main winding groove in the radial direction thereof, and a curved portion curved toward the main winding groove in a portion adjacent to the closest portion so that the curved portion joins the main winding groove at the closest portion. The third flange includes an auxiliary guide portion extending in the radial direction of the auxiliary winding groove so that the groove depth of the curved portion becomes larger than that of the closest portion. This structure can provide a pulley allowing easy winding of a wire.

System and method for vehicle inspection

An automated vehicle inspection system includes a diagnostic terminal mounted in a vehicle and connected to an engine control unit (ECU) of the vehicle, sequentially operating individual electric components through the ECU based on stored electric component inspection items while the vehicle passes through a watertight booth and receiving individual operating currents measured to determine whether the electric components normally operate, a transceiver connecting to the diagnostic terminal and a wireless diagnostic communication network through an antenna disposed in the watertight booth process line, and an inspector recognizing a vehicle ID of a vehicle that enters the watertight booth, transmitting inspection items according to a vehicle type and specification of the vehicle ID to the diagnostic terminal through the diagnostic communication network, and recognizing a vehicle ID of a vehicle that leaves the watertight booth to collect inspection results determined in the diagnostic terminal.
