Description

本発明は、自動車用のステアリング・ホイール側に備えられるコンビネーション・スイッチのレバー等に適用される操作力伝達構造に関する。 The present invention relates to an operating force transmission structure applied to a lever or the like of a combination switch provided on a steering wheel side for an automobile.

従来の操作力伝達構造としては、例えば自動車のステアリング・ホイール側に備えられるコンビネーション・スイッチのレバーに適用された図５〜図７に示すようなものがある。図５は、コンビネーション・スイッチの要部断面図、図６は、レバー，伝達体，可動部の関係を概略的に示す要部側面図、図７は同平面図である。 As a conventional operating force transmission structure, there is a structure as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 applied to a lever of a combination switch provided on the steering wheel side of an automobile, for example. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the combination switch, FIG. 6 is a side view of the main part schematically showing the relationship between the lever, the transmission body and the movable part, and FIG. 7 is a plan view of the same.

図５〜図７のように、レバー１０１は、可動盤１０２に対して軸１０３によりＸ−Ｘ方向へ回動操作可能に支持されている。可動盤１０２は、軸１０３と交差する可動盤１０２の軸によりスイッチ・ケース１０５側にＹ−Ｙ方向へ回転可能に支持され、レバー１０１が可動盤１０２と共に可動盤１０２の軸を中心にＹ−Ｙ方向へ回動操作可能となっている。 As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the lever 101 is supported by the movable plate 102 so as to be rotatable in the XX direction by the shaft 103. The movable platen 102 is supported by the axis of the movable platen 102 intersecting the shaft 103 so as to be rotatable in the YY direction on the switch case 105 side, and the lever 101 together with the movable platen 102 is centered on the axis of the movable platen 102. It can be turned in the Y direction.

前記レバー１０１の軸１０３を中心にしたＸ−Ｘ方向への回動操作は、伝達体１０７に伝達されるようになっている。伝達体１０７は、長短のアーム部１０９，１１１を有し、中間部１１３がレバー１０１に当接し、一端１１５がスイッチ・ケース１０５側に当接支持され、他端１１７が可動子１１９に当接している。中間部１１３には、図７のように係合軸部１２１が設けられている。 A rotation operation in the XX direction around the shaft 103 of the lever 101 is transmitted to the transmission body 107. The transmission body 107 has long and short arm portions 109 and 111, an intermediate portion 113 abuts on the lever 101, one end 115 abuts and is supported on the switch case 105 side, and the other end 117 abuts on the mover 119. ing. The intermediate portion 113 is provided with an engaging shaft portion 121 as shown in FIG.

前記可動子１１９には、可動接点１２３が設けられ、可動子１１９の下降移動により可動接点１２３が固定接点に接触する。可動子１１９の復帰は、スプリング１２５の付勢力で行われる。 The movable element 119 is provided with a movable contact 123, and the movable contact 123 comes into contact with the fixed contact as the movable element 119 moves downward. The mover 119 is returned by the urging force of the spring 125.

従って、レバー１０１の先端側を、軸１０３を中心にＸ−Ｘ方向へ下降移動させると、伝達体１０７の中間部１１３が下方へ押圧されて移動する。この移動により、伝達体１０７は、一端１１５がスイッチ・ケース１０５に支持されながら他端１１７が下降移動し、可動子１１９を押圧する。この押圧により可動子１１９がスプリング１２５の付勢力に抗して下降移動し、可動接点１２３が固定接点に接触する。 Therefore, when the distal end side of the lever 101 is moved downward in the XX direction around the shaft 103, the intermediate portion 113 of the transmission body 107 is pressed downward and moved. By this movement, the other end 117 of the transmitting body 107 is moved downward while the one end 115 is supported by the switch case 105, and the movable element 119 is pressed. By this pressing, the mover 119 moves downward against the urging force of the spring 125, and the movable contact 123 comes into contact with the fixed contact.

前記伝達体１０７によりレバー１０１の操作が可動子１１９へ伝達されるときは、伝達体１０７のアーム部１０９，１１１のアーム比によりレバー１０１の操作量が可動子１１９へ増幅して伝達することができる。 When the operation of the lever 101 is transmitted to the movable element 119 by the transmission body 107, the operation amount of the lever 101 may be amplified and transmitted to the movable element 119 by the arm ratio of the arm portions 109 and 111 of the transmission body 107. it can.

また、図７のように、レバー１０１が、前記軸１０３と交差する上述の軸を中心にＹ−Ｙ方向の左右へ操作されているときでも、レバー１０１を軸１０３中心に下降回動させると、レバー１０１の先端側は、係合軸部１２１を含めて中間部１１３に干渉可能であるため、前記同様にレバー１０１から中間部１１３を介して伝達体１０７へ操作力が伝達され、可動子１１９を動作させることができる。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, even when the lever 101 is operated to the left and right in the YY direction around the above-mentioned axis that intersects with the axis 103, if the lever 101 is rotated downward about the axis 103. Since the distal end side of the lever 101 can interfere with the intermediate portion 113 including the engaging shaft portion 121, the operating force is transmitted from the lever 101 to the transmitting body 107 via the intermediate portion 113 in the same manner as described above. 119 can be operated.

前記レバー１０１を軸１０３を中心に元の上昇位置へ戻すと、スプリング１２５の付勢力により可動子１１９が元の位置へリターンし、伝達体１０７の他端１１７が押し上げられて伝達体１０７が図６の状態に復帰する。 When the lever 101 is returned to the original raised position about the shaft 103, the movable element 119 returns to the original position by the biasing force of the spring 125, the other end 117 of the transmission body 107 is pushed up, and the transmission body 107 is shown in FIG. Return to the state of 6.

しかし、上記構成では、復帰用のスプリング１２５が必要となり、少部品点数化に限界を招いていた。 However, in the above configuration, the return spring 125 is necessary, and this has limited the number of parts.

特開平１１−１６２３００号公報JP-A-11-162300

解決しようとする問題点は、少部品点数化に限界を招いていた点である。 The problem to be solved is that the number of parts has been limited.

本発明は、さらなる少部品点数化を可能とするため、操作体及び伝達体間に、操作体の他方への回動操作を許容し且つ一方への回動操作につき反操作方向での係合を維持可能な第１の係合部を設け、伝達体及び被操作部間に、操作量の伝達につき反伝達方向で伝達体に対する被操作部の係合を維持可能な第２の係合部を設けたことを最も主要な特徴とする。 In order to further reduce the number of parts, the present invention allows the rotation of the operation body to the other between the operation body and the transmission body and engages in the opposite operation direction with respect to the rotation operation to one side. A second engagement portion that can maintain the engagement of the operated portion with respect to the transmission body in a direction opposite to the transmission direction of the operation amount between the transmission body and the operated portion. The most important feature is that

本発明の操作力伝達構造は、操作体及び伝達体間に、操作体の他方への回動操作を許容し且つ一方への回動操作につき反操作方向での係合を維持可能な第１の係合部を設け、伝達体及び被操作部間に、前記操作量の伝達につき反伝達方向で伝達体に対する被操作部の係合を維持可能な第２の係合部を設けたため、操作体の操作によりその操作量を伝達体により被操作部へ増幅して伝達した後、操作体の回動操作を戻すと第１の係合部が反操作方向で操作体及び伝達体間を係合させ、伝達体に復帰力を伝達することができる。この伝達により第２の係合部が反伝達方向で伝達体及び被操作部間を係合させ、被操作部に復帰力を伝達することができる。従って、操作体の一方への回動操作を戻すことで、伝達体及び被操作部を復帰させることができる。 The operating force transmission structure according to the present invention is a first device that allows a rotating operation of the operating body to the other between the operating body and the transmitting body, and maintains engagement in a counter-operating direction with respect to the rotating operation of the operating body. Since the second engaging portion that can maintain the engagement of the operated portion with the transmitting body in the opposite direction to the transmission of the operation amount is provided between the transmitting body and the operated portion. After the operation amount is amplified and transmitted to the operated part by the transmission body, the first engaging part is engaged between the operation body and the transmission body in the counter-operation direction when the rotation operation of the operation body is returned. The return force can be transmitted to the transmission body. By this transmission, the second engaging portion can be engaged between the transmitting body and the operated portion in the opposite transmission direction, and the return force can be transmitted to the operated portion. Therefore, the transmission body and the operated portion can be returned by returning the operation of rotating the operating body to one side.

前記操作体を他方へ回動操作したときでも、第１の係合部は、操作体の他方への回動操作を許容し且つ一方への回動操作につき反操作方向での係合を維持可能にするから、操作体の他方への回動操作位置において操作体を一方へ回動操作し且つ操作を戻すと、第１の係合部により操作体から伝達体に復帰力を伝達することができる。従って、同様に操作体の一方への回動操作を戻すことで、伝達体及び被操作部を復帰させることができる。 Even when the operating body is rotated to the other side, the first engagement portion allows the operating body to rotate to the other side and maintains the engagement in the counter-operation direction for the rotating operation to one side. Therefore, when the operating body is rotated to one side and the operation is returned at the position where the operating body is rotated to the other side, the return force is transmitted from the operating body to the transmitting body by the first engaging portion. Can do. Therefore, similarly, the transmission body and the operated portion can be returned by returning the rotation operation to one side of the operation body.

従って、被操作部を復帰させるためのスプリングを必要とせず、部品点数を削減することができる。 Therefore, a spring for returning the operated portion is not required, and the number of parts can be reduced.

さらなる少部品点数化を可能とするという目的を、簡単な構造で実現した。 The objective of further reducing the number of parts was realized with a simple structure.

前記レバー１及び伝達体９間には、第１の係合部２７が設けられている。第１の係合部２７は、レバー１のＹ−Ｙ方向への回動操作を許容し且つＸ−Ｘ方向への回動操作につき反操作方向での係合を維持可能としている。 A first engagement portion 27 is provided between the lever 1 and the transmission body 9. The first engaging portion 27 allows the rotation operation of the lever 1 in the Y-Y direction and can maintain the engagement in the counter-operation direction with respect to the rotation operation in the XX direction.

前記第１の係合部は、前記レバー１に設けられた前記第１の係合軸部２３及び該第１の係合軸部２３に係合する第１のフック部２９で構成されている。第１のフック部２９は、レバー１の先端側においてＹ−Ｙ方向の両側に設けられ、レバー１に対称に設けられた突部３１にそれぞれ配置されている。各第１のフック部２９は、レバー１の先端側に開いた溝状の遊動部３３を有し、第１の係合軸部２３が遊動状態で係合している。 The first engagement portion includes a first engagement shaft portion 23 provided on the lever 1 and a first hook portion 29 that engages with the first engagement shaft portion 23. . The first hook portions 29 are provided on both sides in the Y-Y direction on the distal end side of the lever 1, and are respectively disposed on protrusions 31 provided symmetrically with the lever 1. Each first hook portion 29 has a groove-like floating portion 33 opened on the tip end side of the lever 1, and the first engagement shaft portion 23 is engaged in a floating state.

前記伝達体９及び可動子３間には、第２の係合部３５が設けられている。第２の係合部３５は、レバー１の操作量の伝達につき反伝達方向で伝達体９に対する可動子３の係合を維持可能としている。 A second engaging portion 35 is provided between the transmission body 9 and the mover 3.

［操作力伝達作用］
前記レバー１の先端側を、軸５を中心にＸ−Ｘ方向へ下降移動させると、伝達体９の中間部１５が一端１７を中心に下方へ押圧されて移動する。この移動により、伝達体９は、一端１７がスイッチ・ケース７側に支持されながら他端１９が下降移動し、可動子３を押圧する。この押圧により可動子３が下降移動し、可動接点２５が固定接点に接触する。可動子３が下降移動すると伝達体９の他端１９と可動子３との相対位置は変化するが、他端１９の第２の係合軸部２４が第２のフック部３７の遊動部３７内を遊動して相対動が許容される。 [Operation force transmission]
When the distal end side of the lever 1 is moved downward in the XX direction around the shaft 5, the intermediate portion 15 of the transmission body 9 is pressed downward and moved around the one end 17. By this movement, the other end 19 of the transmission body 9 is moved downward while the one end 17 is supported on the switch case 7 side, and the movable element 3 is pressed. By this pressing, the mover 3 moves downward, and the movable contact 25 comes into contact with the fixed contact. When the mover 3 moves downward, the relative position between the other end 19 of the transmission body 9 and the mover 3 changes. However, the second engagement shaft portion 24 of the other end 19 is connected to the floating portion 37 of the second hook portion 37. Relative movement is allowed by moving inside.

前記伝達体９によりレバー１の操作が可動子３へ伝達されるときは、伝達体９のアーム部１１，１３のアーム比によりレバー１の操作量を可動子３へ増幅して伝達することができる。 When the operation of the lever 1 is transmitted to the mover 3 by the transmission body 9, the operation amount of the lever 1 can be amplified and transmitted to the mover 3 by the arm ratio of the arm portions 11 and 13 of the transmission body 9. it can.

また、図４のように、レバー１が、前記軸５と交差する上述の軸を中心にＹ−Ｙ方向へ操作されると、第１の係合軸部２３が第１のフック部２９の遊動部３３内で相対的に遊動することができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, when the lever 1 is operated in the YY direction around the above-mentioned axis that intersects the axis 5, the first engagement shaft part 23 is connected to the first hook part 29. It can move relatively within the idler 33.

そして、レバー１を軸５中心に前記同様下降回動させると、レバー１の先端側は、第１の係合軸部２３を含めて中間部１５に干渉可能であるため、前記同様にレバー１から中間部１５を介して伝達体９へ操作力が伝達され、可動子３を動作させることができる。 When the lever 1 is pivoted downward about the shaft 5 in the same manner as described above, the distal end side of the lever 1 can interfere with the intermediate portion 15 including the first engagement shaft portion 23. Therefore, the operating force is transmitted to the transmission body 9 through the intermediate portion 15, and the mover 3 can be operated.

前記レバー１を軸５を中心に元の上昇位置へ戻すと、第１のフック部２９が第１の係合軸部２３に係合して同方向へ引き上げる。この引き上げにより伝達体９の他端１９の第２の係合軸部２４が第２のフック部３７に係合して引き上げ、可動子３を元の位置へ復帰させることができる。 When the lever 1 is returned to the original raised position with the shaft 5 as the center, the first hook portion 29 engages with the first engagement shaft portion 23 and pulls up in the same direction. By this lifting, the second engagement shaft portion 24 of the other end 19 of the transmission body 9 is engaged with the second hook portion 37 and pulled up, and the movable element 3 can be returned to the original position.

また、図４のように、レバー１が、前記軸５と交差する軸を中心にＹ−Ｙ方向の左右へ操作されているときでも、レバー１の軸５を中心とした回動操作を戻すと、レバー１の第１のフック部２９が第１の係合軸部２３に係合するため、前記同様にレバー１から中間部１５を介して伝達体９へ引き上げ力が伝達され、可動子３を元の位置へ復帰させることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4, even when the lever 1 is operated to the left and right in the YY direction around the axis intersecting with the axis 5, the turning operation about the axis 5 of the lever 1 is returned. Since the first hook portion 29 of the lever 1 is engaged with the first engagement shaft portion 23, the lifting force is transmitted from the lever 1 to the transmission body 9 via the intermediate portion 15 in the same manner as described above. 3 can be returned to its original position.

［実施例の効果］
以上、本発明の実施例では、レバー１及び伝達体９に、レバー１のＹ−Ｙ方向への回動操作を許容し且つＸ−Ｘ方向への回動操作につき反操作方向での係合を維持可能な第１の係合部２７である第１の係合軸部２３及び第１のフック部２９を設け、伝達体９及び可動子３間に、操作量の伝達につき反伝達方向で伝達体９に対する可動子３の係合を維持可能な第２の係合部３５として第２の係合軸部２４及び第２のフック部３７を設けたため、レバー１の操作によりその操作量を伝達体９により可動子３へ増幅して伝達した後、レバー１の回動操作を戻すと第１のフック部２９を第１の係合軸部２３に係合させることができる。 [Effect of Example]
As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the lever 1 and the transmission body 9 are allowed to rotate in the YY direction of the lever 1 and are engaged in the counter-operation direction with respect to the rotation operation in the XX direction. The first engaging shaft portion 23 and the first hook portion 29 which are the first engaging portions 27 capable of maintaining the above are provided, and the transmission of the operation amount between the transmission body 9 and the movable element 3 is performed in the opposite transmission direction. Since the second engagement shaft portion 24 and the second hook portion 37 are provided as the second engagement portion 35 capable of maintaining the engagement of the movable element 3 with the transmission body 9, the operation amount is controlled by the operation of the lever 1. After being amplified and transmitted to the mover 3 by the transmission body 9, when the turning operation of the lever 1 is returned, the first hook portion 29 can be engaged with the first engagement shaft portion 23.

このため、レバー１及び伝達体９間を反操作方向で係合させ、伝達体９に復帰力を伝達することができる。この伝達により第２の係合部３５の第２の係合軸部２４及び第２のフック部３７により伝達体９及び可動子３間が係合し、伝達体９に伝達された復帰力を可動子３に伝達することができる。 For this reason, the lever 1 and the transmission body 9 can be engaged with each other in the counter-operation direction, and the return force can be transmitted to the transmission body 9. By this transmission, the transmission body 9 and the mover 3 are engaged by the second engagement shaft portion 24 and the second hook portion 37 of the second engagement portion 35, and the return force transmitted to the transmission body 9 is obtained. It can be transmitted to the mover 3.

従って、レバー１のＸ−Ｘ方向への回動操作を戻すことで、伝達体９及び可動子３を容易に復帰させることができる。 Therefore, the transmission body 9 and the mover 3 can be easily returned by returning the rotation operation of the lever 1 in the XX direction.

前記レバー１をＹ−Ｙ方向へ回動操作したときでも、第１の係合部２７の第１のフック部２９及び第１の係合軸部２３は、レバー１のＹ−Ｙ方向への回動操作を許容し且つＸ−Ｘ方向への回動操作につき反操作方向での係合を維持可能にするから、レバー１のＹ−Ｙ方向への回動操作位置においてレバー１をＸ−Ｘ方向へ回動操作し且つ操作を戻すと、第１の係合部２７の第１のフック部２９及び第１の係合軸部２３によりレバー１から伝達体９に復帰力を伝達することができる。従って、同様にレバー１のＸ−Ｘ方向への回動操作を戻すことで、伝達体９及び可動子３を復帰させることができる。 Even when the lever 1 is rotated in the YY direction, the first hook portion 29 and the first engagement shaft portion 23 of the first engagement portion 27 are moved in the YY direction of the lever 1. Since the rotation operation is permitted and the engagement in the counter-operation direction can be maintained for the rotation operation in the XX direction, the lever 1 is moved to the X-Y position at the rotation operation position in the Y-Y direction. When the rotation operation is performed in the X direction and the operation is returned, the return force is transmitted from the lever 1 to the transmission body 9 by the first hook portion 29 and the first engagement shaft portion 23 of the first engagement portion 27. Can do. Therefore, similarly, the transmission body 9 and the mover 3 can be returned by returning the rotation operation of the lever 1 in the XX direction.

このため、可動子を復帰させるためのスプリングを必要とせず、部品点数を削減することができる。また、スプリングを設けるスペースを必要とせず、装置の小型化が可能となる。
前記第１の係合部２７は、前記伝達体９に設けられた第１の係合軸部２３及びレバー１に設けられ前記第１の係合軸部２３に遊動状態で係合する第１のフック部２９であるため、第１の係合軸部２３及びフック部によりレバー１のＹ−Ｙ方向への回動操作を許容し且つＸ−Ｘ方向への回動操作につき反操作方向での係合を確実に維持可能にすることができる。
［その他］
前記第１の係合軸部２３を、レバー１側に設け、第１のフック部２９を伝達体９側に設けることもできる。 For this reason, a spring for returning the mover is not required, and the number of parts can be reduced. Further, a space for providing a spring is not required, and the apparatus can be miniaturized.
The first engagement portion 27 is a first engagement shaft portion 23 provided on the transmission body 9 and a first engagement shaft portion 23 provided on the lever 1 and engaged with the first engagement shaft portion 23 in a floating state.
