Abstract

A door opening and closing device includes: a resin-made base attached to an inner panel of a door; and a transfer mechanism provided on an interior side of the base, and transferring power to a locking device via a power transfer cable, wherein the base includes first and second parts in which the transfer mechanism and the cable are disposed respectively, and a fixing portion fixing an outer casing end portion of the cable, and wherein the first and second parts are configured to locate at different levels so that the second part is positioned closer to an inner side than the first part in a width direction, a step portion is provided between the first and second parts, and the fixing portion is provided in the step portion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A door opening and closing device comprising:
a resin-made base which is configured to be attached to an inner panel of a vehicle door; and
a transfer mechanism which is provided on a vehicle interior surface side of the base, and transfers power to a locking device of the vehicle door via a power transfer cable by an operation of at least an inner handle,
wherein the base includes a first part in which the transfer mechanism is disposed, a second part in which the power transfer cable is disposed, and a fixing portion including an engagement portion which engages with an outer casing end portion of the power transfer cable, and
wherein the first part and the second part are configured to locate at different levels from each other so that the second part is positioned closer to an inner side than the first part in a vehicle width direction and the fixing portion protrudes from a surface of the second part.

2. The door opening and closing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein, at the second part, one pair of side walls is provided along an extending direction of the power transfer cable, and end portions on the transfer mechanism side of the one pair of side walls are connected to each other by a connection portion.

3. The door opening and closing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the connection portion is the fixing portion.

4. A vehicle door module comprising:
a door opening and closing device including:
a resin-made base which is configured to be attached to an inner panel of a vehicle door; and
a transfer mechanism which is provided on a vehicle interior surface side of the base, and transfers power to a locking device of the vehicle door via a power transfer cable by an operation of at least the inner handle,
wherein the base includes a first part in which the transfer mechanism is disposed, a second part in which the power transfer cable is disposed, and a fixing portion including an engagement portion which engages with an outer casing end portion of the power transfer cable, and
wherein the first part and the second part are configured to locate at different levels from each other so that the second part is positioned closer to an inner side than the first part in a vehicle width direction and the fixing portion protrudes from a surface of the second part; and
a window glass raising and lowering device which raises and lowers a window glass,
wherein the window glass raising and lowering device and the door opening and closing device are disposed on the base.

5. The door opening and closing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the one pair of side walls extend along the power transfer cable.

6. The door opening and closing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein an intermediate part is interposed between the first part and the second part, the first part, the second part, and the intermediate part are configured to locate at different levels from one another to be oriented toward an inner side in the vehicle width direction in an order of the first part, the intermediate part, and the second part.

7. The door opening and closing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of the fixing portions are provided on the base,
wherein the step portion includes a first step portion in which at least one of the fixing portions is disposed and a second step portion in which a fixing portion different from the fixing portion disposed in the first step portion is disposed, and a bent wall is configured by connecting the first step portion and the second step portion to each other.

8. The door opening and closing device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the connection portion includes an engagement recessed portion to which the outer casing end portion is fit.

9. The door opening and closing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the fixing portion forms a tapered portion in a protrusion direction.
