Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a latch releasing system for a vehicle door, comprising: a latch mechanism having an electric actuator and being capable of switching between an unlocked state enabling latch releasing of a door and a locked state disabling the latch releasing of the door, and capable of actuating the electric actuator in the unlocked state and the latch releasing in accordance with a mechanical input of a latch-releasing operation force; an emergency operation member capable of being operated from outside of the door in such a manner as to mechanically input the latch-releasing operation force to the latch mechanism; and a cylinder lock configured to switch the unlocked state and the locked state of the latch mechanism in accordance with an operation through a mechanical key.
  • the following latch releasing system for a vehicle door has been already known by Patent Document 1, in which when a latch mechanism is in an unlocked state, a latch is released by actuating an electric motor of the latch mechanism through an operation of a door switch provided to a door.
  • the latch releasing system for a vehicle door includes an emergency operation member, which is provided to the door and can be operated from the outside of the vehicle.
  • the emergency operation member is capable to mechanically input a latch-releasing operation force to the latch mechanism in a case where electrical latch releasing of the latch mechanism is impossible due to a dead battery or the like.
  • Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent No. 4598668
  • Patent Document 1 discloses that a link mechanism configured to transmit a mechanical latch-releasing operation force to the latch mechanism in accordance with an operation on the emergency operation member is provided between the emergency operation member and the latch mechanism. Not only is the number of components increased, but also the assembling work for assembling the link mechanism is cumbersome. In addition, it is necessary to secure a space for disposing the link mechanism within a narrow space in a door, and this may consequently increase the size of the door.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a latch releasing system for a vehicle door, enabling a reduction in the number of components, an improvement in the assembling work, and a reduction in the size of a door.
  • a latch releasing system for a vehicle door comprising: a latch mechanism having an electric actuator and being capable of switching between an unlocked state enabling latch releasing of a door and a locked state disabling the latch releasing of the door, and capable of actuating the electric actuator in the unlocked state and the latch releasing in accordance with a mechanical input of a latch-releasing operation force; an emergency operation member capable of being operated from outside of the door in such a manner as to mechanically input the latch-releasing operation force to the latch mechanism; and a cylinder lock configured to switch the unlocked state and the locked state of the latch mechanism in accordance with an operation through a mechanical key, so that, in use, the cylinder lock is first operable through the mechanical key for switching the locked state of the latch mechanism to the unlocked state, and then the emergency operation member is operable from outside the door in such manner as to mechanically input the latch-releasing operation force to the latch mechanism, wherein the emergency operation member is assembled to the cylinder lock which in
  • the emergency operation member is rotatably supported by the cylinder lock.
  • the cylinder lock and the emergency operation member are covered by a cover member which in use is detachably mounted to an outer panel of the door in such a manner that a key hole of the cylinder lock is exposed to the outside.
  • the single relay member is directly connected to the input member of the latch mechanism, the single relay member being integrally connected to the emergency operation member or being connected thereto as a separate body and operating together. Furthermore, the emergency operation member is assembled to the cylinder lock. Accordingly, this enables a reduction in the number of components and eliminates the need for securing a large space within the door. Thus, it is made possible to reduce the size of the door and to improve the assembling workability.
  • the emergency operation member is rotatably supported by the cylinder lock, a dedicated member for operably supporting the emergency operation member is no longer necessary. A further reduction in the number of components is possible.
  • the cover member covers the cylinder lock and the emergency operation member. Accordingly, undesirable operations on the emergency operation member by mischief or the like can be suppressed.
  • a latch mechanism 5 is provided to a vehicle door, for example, a front side door D of a passenger vehicle.
  • the latch mechanism 5 is capable of switching between a latched state where the front side door D in a closed state is engaged with and held to a vehicle body B side and an unlatched state where an opening operation on the front side door D is possible.
  • an outer handle 7 for a vehicle user to grip in opening or closing the front side door D is attached to an outer surface of an outer panel 6 of the front side door D.
  • a recessed insertion section 8 for inserting a hand to grip the outer handle 7 is formed. Further, a touch sensor 9 is additionally provided to the outer handle 7 to verify that the vehicle user has gripped the outer handle 7 to open the front side door D.
  • the latch mechanism 5 has an electric motor 10, which is an electric actuator.
  • the latch mechanism 5 is capable of switching between an unlocked state enabling latch releasing of the front side door D and a locked state disabling the latch releasing of the front side door D.
  • the latch mechanism 5 is capable of actuating the electric motor 10 in the unlocked state and latch releasing in accordance with a mechanical input of a latch-releasing operation force.
  • an ID signal is wirelessly transferred between the vehicle and a legitimate portable device possessed by the vehicle user.
  • the latch mechanism 5 switches the locked state to an unlocked state. Then, the electric motor 10 is actuated, and the latch mechanism 5 releases the latched state of the front side door D.
