The left wall 56 of the engaging recess 48 is formed in an upward slope so as to have an inclination angle θ from the lower end toward the upper end, and a chamfer 56 a is formed on the opening side of the engaging recess 48.
By forming the chamfered portion 56 a on the opening side of the engaging recess 48, the engaging pin 45 can be smoothly engaged with the left wall 56, and the engaging pin 45 is smoothly removed from the left wall 56. Is possible.
The reason why the left wall 56 is formed in an upward gradient with the inclination angle θ will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The left wall 56 of the engagement recess 48 is formed so that the engagement pin 45 can be engaged when the push button 31 is not operated.
By engaging the engagement pin 45 with the left wall 56 of the engagement recess 48, it is possible to prevent the slide rod 22 from moving in the right direction (that is, the unlocking direction of the locking portion 21 shown in FIG. 3).

  In this state, the engaging pin 45 can be retracted from the lower opening 61 to the outside of the engaging recess 48 by depressing the push button 31 and rotating the connecting body 41 as indicated by the arrow D. By retracting the engagement pin 45 to the outside, the engagement between the engagement pin 45 and the left wall 56 is released.

When the pressing force is released from the push button 31 in the released state, the slide rod 22 is slid in the direction of the arrow J by a return spring member (not shown) of the locking portion 21.
Therefore, the connecting recess 47 of the slide rod 22 moves in the direction of arrow J, and the connecting pin 43 moves as shown by arrow K.
As a result, the connecting body 41 rotates as indicated by the arrow C, and the engaging pin 45 enters the engaging recess 48 from the lower opening 61.

Returning to FIG. 4, the key cylinder 25 is a member that can be locked and hold the push button 31 in the standby position by inserting a key (not shown) into the insertion port 63 and locking it. .
Further, the key cylinder 25 is a member that allows the push button 31 to be pushed down by inserting a key (not shown) into the insertion port 63 and unlocking it.

As shown in FIG. 5, the guide portion 65 includes a substantially rectangular protruding piece 66 protruding from the lid 17 toward the rear of the vehicle body, and reinforcement formed along the upper and lower sides 66 a of the protruding piece 66. And ribs 67.
A guide groove 68 that supports the slide rod 22 is formed in the projecting piece 66.

6 is a sectional view taken along line 6-6 in FIG. 4, and FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line 7-7 in FIG.
The guide groove 68 is formed in a groove that is slightly larger than the cross-sectional shape of the slide rod 22 (specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the left end portion 22b) at the upper and lower sides 68a and 68b, the front side 68c, and the rear upper and lower sides 68d and 68d. Has been.

The rear upper side 68d is a side formed by an upper protruding piece 66a protruding downward from the rear end portion of the upper side 68a.
The rear lower side 68e is a side formed by a lower protrusion piece 66b protruding upward from the rear end portion of the lower side 68b.
By providing the rear upper side 68d and the rear lower side 68e, it is possible to prevent the left end portion 22b from coming out of the opening 69 of the guide groove 68.

By forming the guide groove 68 slightly larger than the cross-sectional shape of the left end portion 22b, the slide rod 22 can be slidably supported in the longitudinal direction of the slide rod 22.
Furthermore, by providing the rear upper side 68d and the rear lower side 68e, it is possible to prevent the left end portion 22b of the slide rod 22 from moving (displaced) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body at the upper and lower sides 68d, 68e and the front side 68c. .
Further, the guide groove 68 can prevent the left end portion 22b of the slide rod 22 from moving in the vertical direction (displacement) at the upper side 68a and the lower side 68b.

By preventing the left end portion 22 b of the slide rod 22 from moving (displaced) in the vehicle body front-rear direction or the vertical direction, the engagement pin 45 can be prevented from coming out of the engagement recess 48.
That is, the guide portion 65 is a member that restricts the engagement pin 45 from being disengaged from the left wall 56 in a state where the engagement pin 45 is engaged with the left wall 56 of the engagement recess 48.

Next, the relationship between the engagement pin 45 of the connecting member 35 and the engagement recess 48 of the slide rod 22 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
8A and 8B are views for explaining the relationship between the engagement pin 45 of the connecting member 35 and the engagement recess 48 of the slide rod 22 according to the present invention.
In (a), the push rod 32 is lowered as shown by an arrow E by depressing the push button 31 with the pressing force F1. As the push rod 32 descends, the projecting portion 44 is pushed down.
Therefore, the connecting member 35 rotates in the clockwise direction around the pair of support shafts 42, and the engagement pin 45 moves as indicated by the arrow I and comes out of the engagement recess 48.
Thereby, the engagement of the engagement pin 45 with the left wall 56 of the engagement recess 48 is released.

Further, the connecting member 35 is rotated in the clockwise direction, whereby the connecting pin 43 is moved as indicated by an arrow F.
As the connecting pin 43 moves, it contacts the peripheral wall 53 of the connecting recess 47. As the connecting pin 43 continuously moves as indicated by the arrow F, the slide rod 22 moves as indicated by the arrow G.
As the slide rod 22 moves, the locking portion 21 (see FIG. 3) is unlocked.

In (b), when the pressing force F1 (see FIG. 8a) is released from the push button 31, the slide rod 22 slides in the direction of the arrow J by the return spring member (not shown) of the locking portion 21 shown in FIG. Moving.
As the slide rod 22 slides, the connecting recess 47 of the slide rod 22 moves in the direction of arrow J, and the connecting pin 43 moves as shown by arrow K.

Therefore, the connecting member 35 rotates counterclockwise about the pair of support shafts 42, and the engagement pin 45 enters the engagement recess 48 from the lower opening 61.
Thereby, the engagement pin 45 can be engaged with the left wall 56 of the engagement recess 48.

Next, an example in which the locking part 21 is prevented from being unlocked in a state unintended by the occupant when the lid locking device 18 is not operated will be described with reference to FIG.
FIGS. 9A and 9B are diagrams for explaining an example of preventing the locking portion from being unlocked when the lid locking device according to the present invention is not operated.
In (a), when the push button 31 (see FIG. 8) is not operated, it is conceivable that an impact acts on the instrument panel 12 (see FIG. 1) and a load F2 acts on the slide rod 22.

Here, when the push button 31 is not operated, the engagement pin 45 is engaged with the left wall 56 of the engagement recess 48.
Therefore, when the load F2 is applied to the slide rod 22, the left wall 56 presses the engagement pin 45 to the right side with the pressing force F3.

The engagement pin 45 is disposed slightly below the line extending from the pair of support shafts 42 in parallel to the longitudinal direction of the slide rod 22.
In addition, the left wall 56 of the engagement recess 48 is formed in an upward slope so as to have an inclination angle θ from the lower end toward the upper end. The inclination angle θ is a slight inclination angle.
Therefore, when the left wall 56 presses the engagement pin 45 to the right side with the pressing force F3, the engagement pin 45 is kept stationary without moving up and down.

By keeping the engagement pin 45 stationary, the engagement wall 45 can prevent the left wall 56 from moving in the right direction.
Thereby, it can control that slide rod 22 moves rightward (namely, direction which unlocks locking part 21 shown in Drawing 3).
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the locking portion 21 from being unlocked by vibration of impact in a state that is not intended by the occupant.

  On the other hand, when the engagement pin 45 is not provided in the lid locking device, when the load F2 acts on the slide rod 22, the slide rod 22 is moved to the right even though the push button 31 is not operated. It is possible to move in the direction (that is, the direction in which the locking part 21 shown in FIG. 3 is unlocked).

When the push button 31 is not operated, the stopper piece 71 of the connecting member 35 is in contact with the stopper portion 72 of the lid 17.
Therefore, in the state of FIG. 9A, it is possible to prevent the connecting member 35 from rotating counterclockwise by the stopper piece 71 and the stopper portion 72.
Thereby, when the load opposite to the load F <b> 2 acts on the slide rod 22, the slide pin 22 can be prevented from moving in the left direction by the connecting pin 43.

In (b), when the push button 31 (see FIG. 8) is not operated, an impact is applied to the instrument panel 12 (see FIG. 1), and the slide rod 22 moves (shifts) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body or in the vertical direction. It is possible.
Here, the left end portion 22 b of the slide rod 22 is supported by the guide groove 68 of the guide portion 65.

The guide groove 68 can prevent the left end 22b of the slide rod 22 from moving (displaced) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body at the front side 68c and the rear upper and lower sides 68d and 68e shown in FIG.
Furthermore, the guide groove 68 can prevent the left end portion 22b of the slide rod 22 from moving (displaced) in the vertical direction at the upper side 68a and the lower side 68b shown in FIG.

In this way, the left end portion 22b of the slide rod 22 is prevented from moving (displaced) in the vehicle body front-rear direction or the vertical direction, so that the engagement pin 45 can be prevented from coming out of the engagement recess 48.
Therefore, the engagement pin 45 can be kept engaged with the left wall 56 of the engagement recess 48.

Thereby, it is possible to prevent the slide rod 22 from moving in the right direction (that is, the direction in which the locking portion 21 shown in FIG. 3 is unlocked).
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the locking part 21 from being unlocked by shock vibration in a state that is not intended by the occupant.

Thus, by supporting the left end portion 22b of the slide rod 22 with the guide groove 68 of the guide portion 65, the slide rod 22 moves in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body or in the vertical direction when the push button 31 (see FIG. 8) is not operated. This can be regulated more reliably.
Thereby, when the push button 31 is not operated, it is possible to more reliably prevent the slide rod 22 from moving and unlocking the locking portion 21 (see FIG. 3).

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the slide rod 22 is moved in a direction substantially orthogonal to the operation direction of the push button 31 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the slide rod 22 is moved in an intersecting direction other than orthogonal. Is also possible.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the engagement pin 45 was illustrated as an engaging part, it is not restricted to this, It is also possible to make an engaging part into an engaging recessed part.
In this case, the engagement concave portion 48 of the slide rod 22 is replaced with the engagement convex portion (engagement pin), and the engagement convex portion (engagement pin) is engaged with the engagement concave portion.

  Furthermore, the shapes of the glove box 16, the lid 17, the slide rod 22, the push button 31, the connecting member 35, the engagement pin 45, and the guide portion 65 described in the above embodiment are not limited to those illustrated, Changes can be made as appropriate.
