And the front end surface 44 of the linear part of this cable guide 4 is one end surface of the cable guide 4 which opposes the end control part 5 (refer FIG. 6).

[Configuration of brake cable]
FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a terminal on the passenger compartment side of the brake cable.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the brake cable B has an outer cable 101 and an inner cable 102.

  The outer cable 101 is a hollow resin pipe with one end 101a drawn into the vehicle compartment connected to the fitting 15a. The other end (not shown) is pulled out of the passenger compartment and connected to a brake unit (not shown) provided on the wheel. The outer cable 101 regulates the routing route of the brake cable B and protects the inner cable 102.

The inner cable 102 is inserted into the outer cable 101, and both end portions protrude from the outer cable 101. Then, the one end 102a drawn into the vehicle compartment passes through the fitting 15a and is drawn out to the inside of the pedal lever 2. One end portion 102 a of the inner cable 102 is guided inside the gap S between the one side surface 21 b of the pedal plate portion 21 of the pedal lever 2 and the longitudinal end portion 42 of the cable guide 4. Arranged along. At this time, the routing direction of the inner cable 102 is regulated by the claws 21c, 43a, 43b.
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a cylindrical cable end 103 is fixed to the terminal 102 b of the inner cable 102. The cable end 103 is accommodated in a space surrounded by the front end surface 44 of the cable guide 4, the end regulating portion 5, and the end presser 6. At this time, the back surface 103a of the cable end 103 (the surface facing the front end surface 44 of the cable guide 4 at the time of arrangement) contacts and engages the front end surface 44 of the cable guide 4. In other words, the outer diameter dimension of the cable end 103 is larger than the dimension of the gap S between the longitudinal end portion 42 of the cable guide 4 and the one side surface 21 b of the pedal plate portion 21.

[Composition of End Regulation Department]
FIG. 8 is an enlarged perspective view of a main part showing an end press in the parking brake device to which the cable fixing structure of the first embodiment is applied.

When the inner cable 102 is routed, the end regulating portion 5 faces the front end surface 103b of the cable end 103 (the end surface located on the opposite side of the back surface 103a in the axial direction of the inner cable 102), and the back surface of the cable end 103 103 a is a portion that regulates the separation of the cable guide 4 from the distal end surface 44 of the cable guide 4.
The end regulating portion 5 is formed by cutting and raising the pedal plate portion 21 of the pedal lever 2 toward the one side surface 21b. That is, a U-shaped cut is made in the pedal plate portion 21 and the end regulating portion 5 is formed by raising the inside of this cut to the side surface 21b side. As a result, the pedal plate portion 21 has a cut and raised opening 51 along the cut.
Here, in the end regulating portion 5, the area of the facing surface 5a facing the front end surface 103b of the cable end 103 is set so that the opening area of the cut-and-raised opening 51 can be fitted to the cable end 103. The

[Configuration of end presser]
9 is a diagram when viewed from the direction of arrow B shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the end restricting portion is omitted.

The end presser 6 faces the peripheral surface 103c of the cable end 103 (the surface extending in the axial direction of the inner cable 102) when the inner cable 102 is routed, and the cable end 103 is placed on one side surface 21b of the pedal plate portion 21. This is the part that is elastically biased toward.
The end presser 6 extends along the insertion direction of the cable end 103 (the direction indicated by the arrow Z in FIG. 8), and the lower side portion 6a of the insertion direction is cut and raised to the vicinity of the opening 51 (here, the rotation shaft). It is formed of a steel plate that is riveted to the side of the portion 21a. Further, the end presser 6 includes an elastic deformation portion 61 and a presser portion 62.

  The elastic deformation portion 61 is gently curved outward (in a direction away from the one side surface 21b of the pedal plate portion 21) from the lower side portion 6a in the insertion direction, and the presser portion 62 is separated from the pedal plate portion 21. It can be elastically deformed to move.

  The pressing portion 62 extends from the elastic deformation portion 61 along the insertion direction of the end presser 6, and the distal end portion 62 a is bent toward the pedal plate portion 21. The presser portion 62 faces the cut-and-raised opening 51. In addition, an inclined surface 63 that is inclined from the bent portion toward the inner side of the end presser 6 (on the side surface 21b side of the pedal plate portion 21) and the lower side in the insertion direction is formed at the distal end portion 62a. The tip 63a of the inclined surface 63 protrudes closer to the pedal plate portion 21 than the center portion (axial center position of the inner cable 102) O of the cable end 103 when the inner cable 102 is routed (see FIG. 9).

Next, the operation will be described.
The “fixing action of the cable end” in the cable fixing structure of the parking brake device of the first embodiment will be described.

[Cable end fixing]
FIGS. 10A and 10B are explanatory diagrams showing cable fixing work in the cable fixing structure of the first embodiment, where FIG. 10A shows a state before cable insertion, FIG. 10B shows a state during cable insertion, and FIG. Indicates completion status.

  In order to fix the brake cable B to the pedal unit P of the first embodiment, first, the one end 102a of the inner cable 102 drawn into the vehicle interior is passed through the fitting 15a. Subsequently, one end 101a of the outer cable 101 is fixed to the fitting 15a.

Then, one end portion 102a of the inner cable 102 drawn out to the inside of the pedal lever 2 by penetrating the fitting 15a is connected to the cable guide 4 on the one side surface 21b side of the pedal plate portion 21 with the rotation shaft portion 21a as the center. Circulate along. Then, the one end portion 102 a is guided inside the gap S between the one side surface 21 b of the pedal plate portion 21 and the longitudinal end portion 42 of the cable guide 4.
At this time, the inner cable 102 is rotated while being appropriately bent so that the inner cable 102 enters inside the claws 21c, 43a, 43b. As a result, the routing direction of the inner cable 102 is restricted, and the inner cable 102 is in a state along the cable guide 4.

  When the inner cable 102 is disposed inside each claw 21c, 43a, 43b, as shown in FIG. 10 (a), only the vicinity of the terminal 102b of the inner cable 102 provided with the cable end 103 is the pedal plate portion. 21 protrudes from the gap S between the one side surface 21b of the cable 21 and the longitudinal end portion 42 of the cable guide 4. At this time, the pull-out length of the inner cable 102 is adjusted so that the cable end 103 is disposed above the end presser 6.

  In this state, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), the cable end 103 is pushed with the finger toward the inclined surface 63 of the end presser 6. Thereby, the peripheral surface 103c of the cable end 103 comes into contact with the inclined surface 63, and the presser portion 62 is pushed outward (in a direction away from the pedal plate portion 21) against the elastic force of the elastically deformable portion 61. The elastic deformation part 61 of the end presser 6 is elastically deformed outward. The gap between the tip 63 a of the inclined surface 63 and the one side surface 21 b of the pedal plate portion 21 is widened, and the cable end 103 is inserted between the pedal plate portion 21 and the end presser 6.

  When the cable end 103 is inserted between the pedal plate portion 21 and the end presser 6, the finger that has pushed the cable end 103 is released. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the elastically deforming portion 61 is elastically deformed and returned toward the inside (the direction close to the pedal plate portion 21), and the distal end portion 62a of the pressing portion 62, that is, the inclined surface. The inner side of 63 is pressed in a state where it abuts on the peripheral surface 103 c of the cable end 103. That is, the elastic deformation portion 61 constantly urges the peripheral surface 103 c of the cable end 103 toward the pedal plate portion 21 with an elastic force that attempts to return to a normal state in which the cable end 103 is not inserted.

  Further, since the presser portion 62 of the end presser 6 is cut and raised and faces the opening 51, the cable end 103 inserted between the pedal plate portion 21 and the end presser 6 is fitted into the cut and raised opening 51.

Thereafter, the brake cable B is also fixed in a brake unit (not shown) provided on the wheel. Then, the length of the inner cable 102 is adjusted so that the back surface 103a of the cable end 103 is brought into contact with the front end surface 44 of the cable guide 4 on the brake unit side (not shown).
At this time, the end restricting portion 5 faces the cable end 103 inserted between the pedal plate portion 21 and the end presser 6. Therefore, the position of the cable end 103 in the cable length direction is regulated, and the cable end 103 protrudes in the cable tip direction (the direction indicated by the arrow C in FIG. 10C) while adjusting the length of the inner cable 102, and the pedal plate It is possible to prevent falling off between the portion 21 and the end presser 6.

  When the length adjustment of the inner cable 102 is completed and the back surface 103a of the cable end 103 is brought into contact with the front end surface 44 of the cable guide 4, the brake cable B is fixed to the pedal unit P of the first embodiment. It becomes.

  Thus, in order to temporarily fix the brake cable B on the pedal unit P side, the cable end 103 provided at the terminal 102 b of the inner cable 102 is inserted between the pedal plate portion 21 and the end presser 1. It can be performed in the process. Therefore, the cable temporary fixing work is simplified compared to the cable temporary fixing work in the conventional cable fixing structure in which the adjuster nut is screwed into the adjuster bolt, and the work time can be shortened.

Since the length of the inner cable 102 is adjusted on the side of the brake unit provided on the wheel, the work place for adjusting the length of the inner cable 102 is outside the vehicle, and the work efficiency can be improved.
That is, in the conventional cable fixing structure in which the adjuster nut is screwed into the adjuster bolt, the length of the inner cable is adjusted on the vehicle interior side. On the other hand, in a so-called hand-drawn type (side brake type) parking brake device, the length of the inner cable is generally adjusted on the brake unit side outside the vehicle. For this reason, the place where the length adjustment is performed differs between the hand-drawn type and the step-on type, and the operator is easily confused.
On the other hand, in the cable fixing structure of the first embodiment, the length of the inner cable 102 is adjusted on the brake unit side even with the foot pedal unit P. It can be adapted to the parking brake device.

  Further, in the conventional cable fixing structure, if the length of the inner cable 102 is adjusted on the brake unit (not shown) side without forgetting to tighten the adjuster nut, the brake cable B is detached from the pedal unit P. In the cable fixing structure of the first embodiment, the cable end 103 is elastically biased toward the pedal plate portion 21 by the end presser 6 to prevent the brake cable B from coming off. There is no disconnection, and the working efficiency can be further improved.

  Further, in contrast to the conventional cable fixing structure in which the adjuster nut is screwed into the adjuster bolt, in the cable fixing structure of the first embodiment, only the cable end 103 needs to be set for the inner cable 102, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Can be achieved. Moreover, in the cable fixing structure of Example 1, since an adjuster bolt is not provided, the inner cable 102 can be shortened with respect to the conventional cable fixing structure. As a result, the pedal lever 2 can be miniaturized, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, the degree of freedom of the vehicle interior layout is improved, and the comfort of the vehicle interior is improved.

  Note that an inclined surface 63 is formed on the presser portion 62 of the end presser 6 so as to incline from the bent portion toward the inside of the end presser 6 (the one side surface 21b side of the pedal plate portion 21) and the lower side in the insertion direction. Therefore, when the cable end 103 is inserted, the cable end 103 can be pushed along the inclined surface 63, and the insertion operation of the cable end 103 can be performed smoothly. Moreover, if the cable end 103 is inserted, the inclined surface 63 will extend in the direction which obstructs with respect to the drop-off direction of the cable end 103 (direction opposite to the insertion direction). Therefore, it is possible to improve the pressing function of the cable end 103 by the end pressing 6.

  Furthermore, in the cable fixing structure of the first embodiment, the end restricting portion 5 that prevents the cable from falling off when adjusting the length of the inner cable 102 is formed by cutting and raising the pedal plate portion 21 toward the one side surface 21b. The end regulation part 5 can be formed easily. In addition, since the cable end 103 is fitted into the cut-and-raised opening 51 generated when the end restricting portion 5 is cut and raised, the function of holding the cable end 103 by the end press 6 can be further improved.

Next, the effect will be described.
