(operation from " H " gear to " N " gear)

As shown in Fig. 8 (A), in " H " gear of gear level 20, as described above, magnet 170 (stent 160) is in first Configuration status, the 4th sensor S4 and the 5th the two sensors of sensor S5 export ON signals to control unit 80.In addition, stent 160 operating force input unit 164 is configured at the right part in the sliding eye 152A of sliding block 150.Moreover, " H " from gear level 20 Into the operation of " N " gear, gear level 20 operates gear to choice direction one side (right side).Therefore, the operating force of gear level 20 Transfer part 24 moves (displacement) to choice direction opposite side (the arrow D direction sides of Fig. 8 (A) are left side).

The operating force of the side to the left of gear level 20 is input to the operating force input unit 164 of stent 160 as a result, and operating force is defeated Enter portion 164 and move (displacement) with operating force transfer part 24 (bulb 24A) choice direction opposite side in the same direction.At this point, due to cunning The linear elongated hole-shape to extend in choice direction is formed as described above in the sliding eye 152A of block 150, and in shifting direction Do not extend, therefore long side direction of the operating force input unit 164 from the right-hand end of sliding eye 152A along sliding eye 152A is to the left It slides side end.As a result, maintain sliding block 150 position in the state of, operating force input unit 164 compared with support shaft 154 to Left side displacement.That is, operating force input unit 164 is spaced further apart compared with support shaft 154, so that operating force input unit 164 is with sliding Relative distance between the support shaft 154 of block 150 is elongated.

On the other hand, operating force input unit 164 in sliding eye 152A to left slide, so as to operating force input unit 164 Engage with the inner peripheral portion of the first slot hole 194 of connecting rod 190, the one end (front end) of connecting rod 190 is pressed to the left.As a result, Connecting rod 190 is rotated centered on support shaft 154 to (the arrow F direction sides of Fig. 8 (A)) counterclockwise.In addition, at this time due to such as above-mentioned Relative distance between such operating force input unit 164 and the support shaft 154 of sliding block 150 is elongated, therefore operating force input unit 164 Compared with one end relative displacement of first slot hole 194 to connecting rod 190.In addition, when connecting rod 190 rotates, the second of connecting rod 190 The inner peripheral portion of slot hole 196 engages with the bracket side connection shaft 166 of stent 160, and bracket side connection shaft 166 is another with connecting rod 190 End (rear end portion) rotates together.In addition, at this time due to operating as explained above power input unit 164 compared with the first slot hole 194 One end relative displacement to connecting rod 190, thus bracket side connection shaft 166 also relative to the second slot hole 196 to the one of connecting rod 190 End relative displacement.Stent 160 (magnet 170) is mobile to choice direction opposite side (left side) as a result, and with operating force input unit To rotating counterclockwise centered on 164 (the bulb 24A in the operating force transfer part 24 of gear level 20).As a result, stent 160 is protected The magnet 170 held is relatively rotated compared with substrate 140 and Slideslip, and be configured at the position shown in Fig. 8 (D) to the left.

As shown in Fig. 8 (D), in " N " gear, magnet 170 is changed to compared with the direction of substrate 140, overlooks lower magnet 170 The first magnet portion 170A extend along choice direction (it is following, which is known as compared with the configuration status of sliding block 150 to " the Two configuration statuses ").Moreover, in " N " gear, 3rd sensor S3, the 4th sensor S4 and the 6th sensor S6 are in vertical direction It is oppositely disposed with magnet 170, and ON signals is exported to control unit 80.Control unit 80 detects gear level 20 to " N " gear as a result, Operation.More specifically, from " H " gear into the operation of " N " gear, first sensor S1, second sensor S2 and the 4th The output signal of sensor S4 does not switch, the output letter of 3rd sensor S3, the 5th sensor S5 and the 6th sensor S6 It number switches.In other words, the output signal of three sensors in the sensor S6 of first sensor S1~the 6th switches.

(operation from " N " gear to " D " gear)

As shown in Fig. 8 (D), in " N " gear of gear level 20, as described above, magnet 170 is in the second configuration status, 3rd sensor S3, the 4th sensor S4 and the 6th these three sensors of sensor S6 export ON signals to control unit 80.Moreover, Gear level 20 from " N " gear into the operation of " D " gear, gear level 20 to shifting direction opposite side (rear side) operate.Therefore, The operating force transfer part 24 of gear level 20 moves (displacement) to shifting direction one side (the arrow A direction sides of Fig. 8 (D) are front side).

Therefore, the operating force of the side forwards of gear level 20 is input to the operating force input unit 164 of stent 160.In addition, at this time Since the sliding eye 152A of sliding block 150 is formed as the linear elongated hole-shape in choice direction extension, and in shifting direction not Extension, therefore the operating force input unit 164 of stent 160 engages with the inner peripheral portion of sliding eye 152A, the side forwards of gear level 20 Operating force is input to sliding block 150.Connecting rod 190 can be rotatably supported at the support shaft 154 of sliding block 150, but since operating force is defeated Enter portion 164 and do not act on the first slot hole 194, therefore in the state for the relative position for maintaining sliding block 150, stent 160 and connecting rod 190 Under, make their Slideslips forwards.The magnet 170 that stent 160 is kept as a result, maintains the second configuration status, and compared with base Slideslip (relative movement) forwards of plate 140, is configured at the position shown in Fig. 8 (E).

As shown in Fig. 8 (E), in " D " gear, first sensor S1, second sensor S2 and the 4th sensor S4 are upper and lower Direction is oppositely disposed with magnet 170, and exports ON signals to control unit 80.Control unit 80 detects gear level 20 to " D " as a result, Gear operates.More specifically, from " N " gear into the operation of " D " gear, the 4th sensor S4 and the 5th sensor S5's Output signal does not switch, the output of first sensor S1, second sensor S2,3rd sensor S3 and the 6th sensor S6 Signal switches.In other words, the output signal of four sensors in the sensor S6 of first sensor S1~the 6th is cut It changes.

(operation from " N " gear to " R " gear)

As shown in Fig. 8 (D), in " N " gear of gear level 20, as described above, magnet 170 is in the second configuration shape State, 3rd sensor S3, the 4th sensor S4 and the 6th these three sensors of sensor S6 export ON signals to control unit 80.And And gear level 20 from " N " gear into the operation of " R " gear, gear level 20 to shifting direction one side (front side) operate.Cause This, the operating force transfer part 24 of gear level 20 moves (position to shifting direction opposite side (the arrow B direction sides of Fig. 8 (D) are rear side) It moves).

Therefore, the operating force of gear level 20 rearward is input to the operating force input unit 164 of stent 160.In addition, at this time Since the sliding eye 152A of sliding block 150 is formed as the linear elongated hole-shape in choice direction extension, and do not prolong in shifting direction It stretches, therefore the operating force input unit 164 of stent 160 engages with the inner peripheral portion of sliding eye 152A, the behaviour of gear level 20 rearward Sliding block 150 is input to as power.Connecting rod 190 is linked to sliding block 150 in support shaft 154, but since operating force input unit 164 does not act on In the first slot hole 194, therefore in the state of the relative position of sliding block 150, stent 160 and connecting rod 190 is maintained, make them backward Square Slideslip.Stent 160 is kept as a result, magnet 170 maintains the second configuration status, and compared with the side forwards of substrate 140 It slides (relative movement), is configured at the position shown in Fig. 8 (C).

As shown in Fig. 8 (C), in " R " gear, second sensor S2, the 5th sensor S5 and the 6th sensor S6 are upper and lower Direction is oppositely disposed with magnet 170, and exports ON signals to control unit 80.Control unit 80 detects gear level 20 to " R " as a result, Gear operates.More specifically, from " N " gear into the operation of " R " gear, first sensor S1 and the 6th sensor S6's is defeated Go out signal not switch, second sensor S2,3rd sensor S3, the output letter of the 4th sensor S4 and the 5th sensor S5 It number switches.In other words, the output signal of four sensors in the sensor S6 of first sensor S1~the 6th switches.
