Description

本発明は、カップホルダ容器検出装置に関し、特に車両用カップホルダのカップ収容部にカップが入れられたか否かを検出する検出装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a cup holder container detection device, and more particularly to a detection device that detects whether or not a cup has been placed in a cup housing portion of a cup holder for a vehicle.

特開２００３−１８２４３８号公報は、カップホルダにカップが入ったことを検出し、モータによってホールド機構を駆動させることによりカップ径によらずカップをホールドする、カップホルダを開示している。カップホルダにカップが入ったことを検出する検出装置には、発光素子と受光素子を備える光電センサが用いられている。   Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-182438 discloses a cup holder that detects that a cup has entered the cup holder and holds the cup regardless of the cup diameter by driving a holding mechanism with a motor. A photoelectric sensor including a light emitting element and a light receiving element is used in a detection device that detects that a cup has entered the cup holder.

しかし、従来のカップホルダ容器検出装置には、つぎの問題点がある。
カップ収容部を２個有するカップホルダの場合、それぞれのカップ収容部に発光素子と受光素子が設けられている。そのため、素子数が多い。したがって、コストがかかり、また素子と接続する配線の取りまわしが煩雑になる。

The reflecting surface 13a of the reflecting member 13 is preferably mirror-finished.

ここで、本発明実施例１と本発明実施例２にわたって共通する部分の作用を説明する。
（ｉ） カップ収容部２２にカップが収容されていないとき
発光素子１１からの光が反射部材１３で反射し受光素子１２に達し、カップ収容部２２にカップが収容されていないことを検出できる。
（ｉｉ） ２つのカップ収容部２２のうちの一方のカップ収容部２２ａにカップが収容されたとき
カップ収容部２２ａにカップが入ると発光素子１１の光がカップによって遮断され受光素子に１２に光が達しない。そのため、カップ収容部２２ａにカップが入ったことを検出できる。
２個のカップ収容部２２のうちの他方のカップ収容部２２ｂについても同様に、カップ収容部２２ｂにカップが入ると発光素子１１からの光がカップによって遮断され受光素子１２に光が達しず、カップ収容部２２ｂにカップが入ったことを検出できる。 Here, an operation of a part common to the first embodiment of the present invention and the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
(I) When a cup is not accommodated in the cup accommodating portion 22 It is possible to detect that light from the light emitting element 11 is reflected by the reflecting member 13 and reaches the light receiving element 12, and no cup is accommodated in the cup accommodating portion 22.
(Ii) When a cup is accommodated in one cup accommodating portion 22a of the two cup accommodating portions 22, when a cup enters the cup accommodating portion 22a, light from the light emitting element 11 is blocked by the cup, and light is incident on the light receiving element 12 Does not reach. Therefore, it can be detected that a cup has entered the cup housing portion 22a.
Similarly, for the other cup housing portion 22b of the two cup housing portions 22, when a cup enters the cup housing portion 22b, the light from the light emitting element 11 is blocked by the cup and the light does not reach the light receiving element 12, It can be detected that a cup has entered the cup housing portion 22b.

本発明実施例では、導光部材２３が発光素子１１から受光素子１２への光路上に位置するので、カップ収容部２２の側面に発光素子から受光素子への光路用の穴を設けなくても発光素子１１からの光が受光素子１２に達する。そのため、光路用の穴をカップ収容部の側面に設ける場合に比べて、カップホルダ２０の見栄えが良い。
また、導光部材２３がカップ収容部２２の全周にわたって設けられているので、照明用光源２４からの光を導入して導光部材２３が光ることで、カップ収容部２２内を光らせることができる。そのため、意匠性が向上する。 In the embodiment of the present invention, since the light guide member 23 is located on the optical path from the light emitting element 11 to the light receiving element 12, it is not necessary to provide a hole for the optical path from the light emitting element to the light receiving element on the side surface of the cup housing portion 22. Light from the light emitting element 11 reaches the light receiving element 12. Therefore, the appearance of the cup holder 20 is better than when a hole for the optical path is provided on the side surface of the cup housing portion.
In addition, since the light guide member 23 is provided over the entire circumference of the cup housing portion 22, the light from the illumination light source 24 is introduced and the light guide member 23 shines, so that the inside of the cup housing portion 22 can be illuminated. it can. Therefore, the designability is improved.

つぎに、本発明各実施例に特有な部分を説明する。

発光素子１１は、２つのカップ収容部２２が並ぶ方向で、２つのカップ収容部２２の間に設けられる。発光素子１１は、２つのカップ収容部２２の間で、２つのカップ収容部２２の中心Ｏ１，Ｏ２を結ぶ直線からオフセットした位置に設けられている。
受光素子１２は、２つのカップ収容部２２のそれぞれに対応して１個づつ設けられている。受光素子１２は、中心Ｏ１，Ｏ２を結ぶ直線に対して、発光素子１１が設けられている側と同じ側に設けられている。
反射部材１３は、中心Ｏ１，Ｏ２を結ぶ直線に対して、発光素子１１が設けられている側と反対側に設けられている。
