  One end of the check link 12 is rotatably attached to the vehicle body via a bracket 14 coupled to the vehicle body. The check link 12 extends through the door check 11 and into the door D. A check stopper portion 13 is provided at the other end portion of the check link 12 extending inside the door D.

  The check link 12 rotates with respect to the vehicle body as the door D rotates. When the door D is opened and closed, the door D moves in a direction away from or closer to the vehicle body based on the rotation of the door D. Therefore, the check link 12 attached to the vehicle body is rotated based on the rotation of the door D, and when the door D is opened, the check link 12 is pulled out from the inside of the door D that moves away from the vehicle body. When the door D is closed, the check link 12 is inserted into the door D that moves in a direction approaching the vehicle body. Thereby, when the door D rotates, the check link 12 can move in the length direction of the check link 12 relative to the door check 11 attached to the door D.

  When the door D is opened, the check link 12 is pulled out from the door D as the door D rotates, and moves to the one end side attached to the vehicle body of the check link 12 with respect to the door check 11. The check stopper portion 13 moves toward the door check 11 by moving the check link 12 toward one end attached to the vehicle body. When the check stopper portion 13 comes into contact with the door check 11, the movement of the check link 12 toward the one end is restricted, and the check link 12 is further restricted from being pulled out from the door D. When the movement, that is, the rotation of the check link 12 is restricted, the rotation of the door D is also restricted. Therefore, the opening degree of the door D is restricted based on the restriction of the movement of the check link 12. Here, the opening degree of the door D when the check stopper portion 13 abuts on the door check 11 is the fully open opening degree of the door D.

Here, since the door D opens with the movement of the check link 12 toward the one end portion attached to the vehicle body B of the check link 12, the opening adjustment block 15 sets the opening of the door D according to the distance L2. The second opening degree can be limited.

  Note that, as described above, the opening degree adjustment block 15 has the distance L2 between the first contact portion 151 and the third contact portion 153 such that the first contact portion 151 and the second contact portion 152 are the same. The steps are configured to be shorter than the distance L1 between them. Therefore, when the opening degree of the door D is set to the second opening degree, the movement distance that the check link 12 is restricted is more than that when the opening degree of the door D is set to the first opening degree. short. That is, in this case, since the check link 12 can move longer to the one end portion attached to the vehicle body, the door D can be opened more widely. Therefore, the opening degree of the door D is configured by forming the opening degree adjustment block 15 in stages so as to have the second and third contact parts 152 and 153 having different distances from the first contact part 151. Can be limited in stages.

  Further, when the user operates the lever 22 and sets the opening degree of the door D so that the door D opens to the full opening degree, the opening degree adjustment block 15 is sandwiched between the door check 11 and the check stopper portion 13. Move to no position. At this time, when the door D is opened, as shown in FIG. 3D, the check link 12 and the check stopper portion 13 are attached to the vehicle body of the check link 12 until the check stopper portion 13 comes into contact with the door check 11. Move to one end. Since the check link 12 can move to a position where the check stopper portion 13 abuts on the door check 11, the door D can be opened to the fully open position. In the present embodiment, the position of the lever 22 corresponding to the fully open position of the door D is set to the position of the third recess 243.

  Next, the operation device 20 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 schematically shows the operating device 20 according to this embodiment. In FIG. 4, the lever 22 is at the position of the first recess 241 corresponding to the first opening of the door D, and the position of the lever 22 is indicated by a position P1. Moreover, the position of the lever 22 when it is in the position of the 2nd recessed part 242 corresponding to the 2nd opening degree of the door D is shown by the position P2. Similarly, the position of the lever 22 when it is at the position of the third recess 243 corresponding to the fully open position of the door D is indicated by a position P3. In FIG. 4, the lever 22 at the positions P2 and P3 is indicated by a two-dot chain line. Further, FIG. 4 shows the vehicle front and vehicle rear directions.

  As described above, when the opening adjustment device 10 restricts the opening of the door D, the opening of the door D to be restricted is set based on the position of the opening adjustment block 15. Therefore, the user can move the opening degree adjustment block 15 via the connection member 21 by moving the lever 22, and can set the opening degree of the door D to a desired opening degree. Hereinafter, the operation of the controller device 20 will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the lever 22 is in the first recess 241 of the lever holding portion 24, the lever 22 is held at the position P1. Similarly, the lever 22 is held at the position P2 when in the second recess 242, and is held at the position P3 when in the third recess 243.

  Here, when the lever 22 is at the position P <b> 1, the connecting portion 221 of the lever 22 is at a position close to the connecting member support portion 211. Therefore, when the lever 22 moves to the position P1, the connecting member 21 moves further toward the opening adjustment device 10. When the connecting member 21 moves to the opening adjusting device 10 side, the opening adjusting block 15 connected to the connecting member 21 moves closer to the check link 12. As a result, the opening adjustment block 15 moves to a position sandwiched between the door check 11 and the check stopper portion 13. In the present embodiment, when the lever 22 moves to the position P1, the opening adjustment block 15 is arranged so that the first contact portion 151 and the second contact portion 152 are between the door check 11 and the check stopper portion 13. Move to the position where it is pinched. Therefore, when the lever 22 is at the position P1, the opening degree adjusting device 10 sets the opening degree of the door D to the first distance L1 between the first contact portion 151 and the second contact portion 152. The opening degree can be limited.

  When the lever 22 is at the position P2, the connecting member 21 of the lever 22 is located slightly away from the connecting member support portion 211 as compared to when the lever 22 is at the position P1. Therefore, when the lever 22 moves to the position P2, the connecting member 21 moves to the operating device 20 side compared to when the lever 22 is at the position P1, and the opening adjustment block 15 connected to the connecting member 21 is checked. Move in a direction slightly away from the link 12. Here, in this embodiment, when the lever 22 moves to the position P2, the opening adjustment block 15 is connected to the door check 11 and the check stopper portion 13 by the first contact portion 151 and the third contact portion 153. Move to a position between them. Therefore, when the lever 22 is at the position P2, the opening degree adjusting device 10 sets the opening degree of the door D to the second distance L2 corresponding to the distance L2 between the first contact portion 151 and the third contact portion 153. The opening degree can be limited.

  When the lever 22 is at the position P3, the connecting member 21 of the lever 22 is further away from the connecting member support portion 211 than when the lever 22 is at the position P2. Therefore, when the lever 22 moves to the position P3, the connecting member 21 moves further to the operating device 20 side than when the lever 22 is at the position P2, and the opening adjustment block 15 connected to the connecting member 21 Move in a direction slightly away from the check link 12. Here, in the present embodiment, when the lever 22 moves to the position P <b> 3, the opening degree adjustment block 15 moves to a position that is not sandwiched between the door check 11 and the check stopper portion 13. Therefore, when the lever 22 is at the position P3, the opening adjustment device 10 can set the opening of the door D to the fully open opening of the door D.

  Thus, the positions P1, P2, and P3 of the lever 22 are the opening adjustment devices 10 for setting the opening of the door D to the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening, respectively. Corresponds to the operating position. Therefore, each recessed part 241,242,243 of the lever holding | maintenance part 24 hold | maintains the lever 22 in position P1, P2, P3, respectively, and the opening degree of the door D is 1st opening degree, 2nd opening degree, and Each operation state of the opening adjustment device 10 set to the fully open opening can be maintained.

  Here, the lever holding portion 24 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 6. FIG. 5A shows a top view of the lever holding portion 24. FIG. 5B shows a top view of the operating device 20 when the lever 22 is moved into the first recess 241. FIG. 5C is a top view of the operating device 20 when the lever 22 is moved in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 222 to a position where the lever 22 is pulled out from the first recess 241. FIG. 6 is a side view of the operating device 20, and shows the lever 22 moved by being tilted in the direction away from the lever holding portion 24 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 222 with a two-dot chain line. In FIG. 5A thru | or 6, the connection member 21 is abbreviate | omitted for the simplification of description.

  The recesses 241, 242, and 243 are formed in the rotation direction of the lever 22. Moreover, as shown to FIG. 5A, wall part (contact part) 2411, 2421, 431 is provided in each recessed part 241,242,243.

  Here, in the opening adjustment device 10, since the urging member 16 urges the opening adjustment block 15 toward the check link 12, the opening adjustment device 10 includes the urged opening adjustment block. The tension is always applied to the lever 22 via the connection member 21 connected to the lever 15. Therefore, the lever 22 always moves in the direction of the tension based on the tension applied from the connection member 21, that is, in the extending direction of the connection member 21 (the direction toward the connection member support portion 211 in FIG. 5A). Try to rotate.

  On the other hand, the wall portions 2411, 2421, and 2431 of each concave portion come into contact with the lever 22 that rotates based on the tension from the connecting member 21 when the lever 22 is present in each of the concave portions 241, 242, and 243. Thus, the rotation of the lever 22 based on the tension is restricted. Therefore, the wall portions 2411, 2421 and 2431 can hold the lever 22 at the positions of the concave portions 241, 242, and 243 corresponding to the respective wall portions. Here, as described above, since the positions of the recesses 241, 242, and 243 are provided in association with the operating positions of the opening adjustment device 10, the walls 2411, 2421, and 2431 of the recesses are opened. The lever 22 can be held at a position corresponding to each operation position of the degree adjusting device 10. Therefore, the user can operate the opening adjustment operation of the door D by the opening adjustment device 10 by moving the lever 22 to a position in each of the recesses 241, 242, and 243.

  As an example of the operation, an operation of the operating device 20 when the opening degree of the door D is set to the first opening degree will be described. FIG. 5B is referred to as a top view of the operating device 20 when the opening degree of the door D is set to the first opening degree.

  In FIG. 5B, the lever 22 exists in the first recess 241, and the lever 22 is in contact with the wall portion 2411 of the first recess 241. The wall portion 2411 abuts on the lever 22 to restrict the rotation of the lever 22 based on the tension from the connecting member 21, and the lever 22 is positioned at the first recess 241 corresponding to the first opening of the door D. Is holding in.

  Here, the lever urging portion 23 is directed to the lever holding portion 24 in the direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lever 22 with respect to the lever 22, in the present embodiment, in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 222 orthogonal to the rotation direction. Apply external force. Therefore, the lever 22 is biased so as to enter the first recess 241 toward the lever holding portion 24 based on the external force from the lever biasing portion 23. That is, the lever urging portion 23 causes the lever 22 to abut on the lever holding portion 24 in the direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lever 22 and maintains the abutment between the lever 22 and the wall portion 2411 of the first recess 241. The lever 22 is urged to do so. In this way, even if the lever urging portion 23 urges the lever 22 toward the lever holding portion 24 to transmit vibration or the like based on the traveling of the vehicle, the lever 22 is based on the vibration. Thus, it is held at the position P1 without coming out of the first recess 241. Similarly, even when the lever 22 is present in the second recess 242 or the third recess 243, the external force from the lever urging portion 23 can be applied even when vibration based on vehicle travel is transmitted. Based on the position P2 or the position P3. Therefore, in the operating device 20, rattling of the lever 22 due to vibration during traveling of the vehicle is suppressed based on the urging by the lever urging unit 23, and the operation state of the opening adjustment device 10 can be appropriately maintained. Similarly, the operation device 20 suppresses the movement of the lever 22 when the user unintentionally touches the lever 22 based on the urging of the lever 22 by the lever urging unit 23, and opens the unintended opening by the user. A change in the operating state of the degree adjusting device 10 can be prevented.

  When the user operates the operating device 20 so as to set the opening degree of the door D set to the first opening degree to another opening degree (second opening degree or full opening degree), FIG. 6, first, the lever 22 is moved in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 222 indicated by the arrow A <b> 3, and is taken out from the first recess 241. In this case, the user can move the lever 22 by applying an external force to the lever 22 against the urging of the lever 22 by the lever urging unit 23. When the user stops applying the external force to the lever 22, the lever 22 moves again toward the lever holding portion 24 based on the urging by the lever urging portion 23.

  As shown in FIG. 5C, the user can rotate the lever 22 in the rotation direction indicated by the arrow A <b> 4 about the rotation shaft 222 by moving the lever 22 so as to protrude from the first recess 241. Become. Therefore, the user can move the lever 22 between the recesses 241, 242, and 243, and can move the lever 22 to positions P1, P2, and P3 corresponding to the recesses. Here, the positions P1, P2, and P3 of the lever 22 correspond to the operating position of the opening adjustment device 10 as described above. Therefore, the user rotates the lever 22 around the rotation shaft 222 while applying an external force to the lever 22 in the direction away from the lever holding portion 24 in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 222. The position of the lever 22 corresponding to the operating position can be changed.

  The operation for moving the lever 22 in the first recess 241 has been described above, but the user can move the lever in the second recess 242 or the third recess 243 by the same operation. Thus, the user can change the operating state of the opening degree adjusting device 10 by operating the lever 22 of the operating device 20.

  As described above, the operating device 20 according to the present embodiment includes the connecting member 21 connected to the opening adjustment device 10 and the lever 22 to which the connecting member 21 is connected. The operating device 20 further includes a lever holding portion 24 that holds the lever 22 at a plurality of predetermined positions P1, P2, and P3, and a lever urging portion 23 that urges the lever 22 in a predetermined direction. The lever 22 rotates about a rotation axis 222 that passes through the rotation center point. The opening adjustment device 10 applies tension to the lever 22 via the connecting member 21 and adjusts the opening of the vehicle door D based on the movement of the connecting member 21 accompanying the movement of the lever 22. The lever holding portion 24 includes a plurality of wall portions 2411, 2421, and 2431 that contact the lever 22 at a plurality of predetermined positions in the rotation direction of the lever 22, respectively. Each of the wall portions 2411, 421, and 2431 is in contact with the lever 22 and restricts the movement of the lever 22 based on the tension applied from the connection member 21. As a result, the wall portions 2411, 2421, 2331 are held at predetermined positions P1, P2, P3 corresponding to the wall portions 2411, 2421, 2331 with which the lever 22 is in contact, respectively. The lever urging portion 23 applies an external force to the lever 22 so as to be directed to the lever holding portion 24 in the direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lever 22, particularly in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 222. Energize towards 24.

  In the operating device 20, the lever 22 connected to the opening degree adjusting device 10 via the connection member 21 is a plurality of positions P 1, P 2, P 3 in the rotation direction of the lever 22, and the wall portions 2411, 2421 of the lever holding portion 24. , 2431. When the lever 22 abuts against the wall portions 2411, 2421, and 2431, rotation based on the tension applied from the opening adjustment device 10 via the connecting member 21 is restricted, and the wall portions 2411, 241, It is held at a position where it abuts against 241, 2431. Here, the opening adjustment device 10 operates at each operation position for adjusting the opening of the vehicle door D based on the position of the lever 22 to which the connecting member 21 is connected. Therefore, the operating device 20 can hold the operating state of the opening adjusting device 10 with a simple configuration that does not require electrical control by holding the lever 22 based on the tension from the opening adjusting device 10.

  In the operating device 20, the lever urging portion 23 applies an external force to the lever 22 in a direction toward the lever holding portion 24 in a direction intersecting with the rotation direction of the lever 22, so that the lever 22 contacts the lever holding portion 24. Let Thereby, unless operated by the user, the lever 22 is urged so as to contact the lever holding portion 24 in a direction crossing the rotation direction. Therefore, in the operating device 20, the movement in the direction crossing the rotation direction of the lever 22 based on vibrations or the like during traveling of the vehicle is suppressed. Therefore, the operation device 20 can suppress the movement of the lever 22 due to vibration or the like when the vehicle travels, and can prevent a change in the operating state of the opening adjustment device 10 that is not intended by the user.

  In the operating device 20 according to the present embodiment, the lever 22 includes a knob 223 operated by the user. Further, the connecting portion 221 of the lever 22 to which the connecting member 21 is connected is provided on the same side as the portion where the knob 223 is provided in the lever 22 with respect to the rotation center point. Therefore, when the lever 22 moves, the lever 22 and the connecting member 21 move to the same side with respect to the rotation center point of the lever 22.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 4, when the connecting member 21 is connected to the connecting portion 221 of the lever 22 from the front side of the vehicle, when the lever 22 is moved to the front side of the vehicle, the connecting member 21 is also moved to the front side of the vehicle. Move to the opening adjustment device 10 side. Therefore, the opening adjustment device 10 operates so as to set the opening of the door D to a narrower opening. Further, when the lever 22 is moved to the rear side of the vehicle, the connecting member 21 is also moved to the rear side of the vehicle and further moved to the operating device 20 side, so that the opening degree adjusting device 10 opens the door D more widely. Works to set the degree. Accordingly, when the user pushes the lever 22 in the forward direction of the vehicle, the opening degree of the door D is set to a narrower opening degree, and when the lever 22 is pulled rearward, the opening degree of the door D is set to a wider opening degree. Can do. For this reason, the operation of the operation device 20 with respect to the operation of the opening adjustment device 10 can be made more ergonomic.

  Since the opening adjustment device 10 includes the door check 11, it is assumed that the opening adjustment device 10 is provided in the vicinity of the side portion on the vehicle front side. Therefore, it is assumed that the operating device 20 is provided on the vehicle rear side with respect to the opening degree adjusting device 10, and the connecting member 21 is connected to the connecting portion 221 from the vehicle front side. Therefore, when the connecting portion 221 is provided on the same side as the portion where the knob 223 is provided with respect to the rotation center point in the lever 22, the operation of the operation device 20 with respect to the operation of the opening adjustment device 10 is performed. It can be more ergonomic.

  On the other hand, when the connecting portion of the lever is provided on the opposite side of the lever from the portion where the knob is provided with respect to the rotation center point, when the lever moves, the lever and the connecting member are Move to the opposite side of the center of rotation. Therefore, when the connecting member is connected to the connecting portion of the lever from the front side of the vehicle, when the lever is moved to the front side of the vehicle, the connecting member moves to the operating device side, and the lever is moved to the rear side of the vehicle. Then, a connection member moves to the opening degree adjusting device 10 side more. Therefore, the operation direction of the operation device with respect to the operation of the opening adjustment device 10 is reversed.

  In this case, the operation of the operating device can be ergonomically configured by connecting the connecting member to the connecting portion of the lever from the rear side of the vehicle. As described above, since the operation device is assumed to be provided on the vehicle rear side with respect to the opening adjustment device 10, for example, the connection member is routed so as to bypass the operation device using an arbitrary connection member support portion. Thus, the connecting member can be connected to the connecting portion of the lever from the vehicle rear side.

  On the other hand, when the connection part 221 is provided on the same side as the part where the knob 223 is provided with respect to the rotation center point, as described above, the drawing space of the connection member 21 and the member therefor are not required. . Therefore, in the operating device 20 according to the present embodiment, the space for routing the connecting member 21 is reduced, and the number of members for routing is reduced, so that the operation of the operating device 20 with respect to the operation of the opening adjustment device 10 can be performed more ergonomically. Can be.

  Moreover, in the operating device 20 according to the present embodiment, the connecting member 21 is directly connected to the lever 22, but the configuration in which the connecting member 21 is connected to the lever 22 is not limited thereto. For example, the connecting member 21 may be connected to the lever 22 via an arbitrary arm member provided on the lever 22. Further, when the lever 22 is coupled to the rotating shaft 222 and configured to rotate integrally, the arm member is coupled to the rotating shaft 222 and rotated integrally, and the arm member coupled to the rotating shaft 222 is configured to rotate. The connecting member 21 may be connected to the lever 22 via the via. In this case, the rotating shaft 222 is connected to the base 25 so as to be rotatable. When the lever 22 is coupled to the rotating shaft 222 to rotate integrally, the lever 22 is configured to bend to a predetermined angle in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 222, so that the lever 22 is rotated. It can be configured to move in the axial direction of 222.

  In the operating device 20, the lever urging portion 23 is provided coaxially with the rotation shaft 222, but the configuration of the lever urging portion 23 is not limited to this. The lever urging portion 23 only needs to be able to apply an external force to the lever 22 in a direction toward the lever holding portion 24 in a direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lever 22. Therefore, for example, a lever urging portion is provided between the lever 22 and the base 25, and the lever 22 faces the lever holding portion 24 connected to the base 25 in a direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lever 22. The lever biasing unit may be configured to apply an external force in the direction.

  When the lever urging portion is provided between the lever 22 and the base 25, the movable member connected to the connecting member 21 is slid in the extending direction of the connecting member 21 instead of the rotatable lever 22. Possible levers can also be used. In this case, the lever that can slide in the extending direction of the connecting member 21 moves the connecting member 21 to the opening degree adjusting device 10 side or the operating device 20 side by sliding in the extending direction of the connecting member 21. It is possible to change the operating state of the opening adjustment device 10 based on the sliding of the lever. Further, by holding the lever by the lever holding portion 24, the operating state of the opening degree adjusting device 10 can be held based on the tension from the connecting member 21. Further, the lever urging portion can urge the lever by applying an external force in a direction toward the lever holding portion 24 in a direction intersecting the sliding direction. For this reason, even when the lever is used, movement in a direction intersecting the sliding direction of the lever based on vibration or the like when the vehicle travels is suppressed similarly to the rotatable lever 22, and the lever that is not intended by the user is suppressed. It is possible to prevent a change in the operating state of the opening adjustment device 10 based on movement. Note that the lever is also configured to move, tilt, or bend in a direction that intersects the sliding direction of the lever so that the contact with the contact portion of the lever holding portion 24 can be released. The Further, any existing configuration can be used as the configuration of the slidable lever. For example, the lever is configured so that a protrusion that engages with the groove provided in the base 25 is provided on the lever, and the protrusion is slidable in the extending direction of the connecting member 21 according to the groove by engaging the groove. be able to.

  Further, in the operating device 20, the lever holding portion 24 is provided with the concave portions 241, 242, and 243 including the wall portions 2411, 2421, and 2431. However, the configuration of the lever holding portion 24 is not limited thereto. The lever holding portion 24 has a contact portion that restricts the movement of the lever 22 based on the tension from the connection member 21 at a plurality of positions in the movement direction of the lever 22, and the lever urging portion 23 urges the lever 22. It is only necessary that the lever 22 can be brought into contact with the lever 22 in a direction intersecting the moving direction of the lever 22.

  For example, the lever holding portion may have a convex portion at a position corresponding to the operating position of the opening degree adjusting device 10 instead of the concave portions 241, 242, and 243. In this case, the lever 22 is in contact with the wall portion of the convex portion, so that the rotation is restricted, and the lever 22 can be in contact with the lever holding portion having the convex portion based on the biasing by the lever biasing portion 23.

  Further, for example, the lever holding portion is configured to include a groove portion or a protrusion portion provided at a position corresponding to the operating position of the opening degree adjusting device 10 that engages with the protrusion portion or the groove portion provided in the lever. Also good. In this case, the lever is engaged with the groove portion or the protruding portion of the lever holding portion and the protrusion portion or the groove portion of the lever so that the rotation is restricted, and the lever is attached to the lever holding portion based on the urging force by the lever urging portion 23. Can abut.

  Further, the lever holding portion 24 may be formed in a stepped shape having a step in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 222. When the lever holding portion is formed in a stepped shape, the lever holding portion is arranged so that the lever holding portion is stepped away from the base 25 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft in the direction of the tension from the connection member 21. It can be formed in steps. Thereby, the rotation of the lever 22 is restricted by coming into contact with the lever 22 at the wall portion of each step portion, and the lever and the lever holding portion in the axial direction of the rotation shaft are based on the biasing by the lever biasing portion 23. Contact can be maintained.

  Further, the number of contact portions of the lever holding portion 24 that contact the lever 22 is not limited to three. The contact portion of the lever holding portion can be provided in accordance with the opening degree of the door D that can be set by the opening adjustment device 10. For example, when the opening adjustment device 10 can set the opening degree of the door D in four stages, four contact portions corresponding to the four-stage operation positions of the opening adjustment device 10 are provided in the lever holding portion. Can do. Similarly, when the opening degree adjusting device 10 can set the opening degree of the door D in two steps, the lever holding portion is provided with two contact portions corresponding to the two-step operation positions of the opening adjusting device 10. be able to. Moreover, according to the number of contact parts, an arbitrary number of concave parts and convex parts can be provided.

  In the operating device 20, the lever holding portion 24 is connected to the base 25, but the lever holding portion 24 may be formed integrally with the base 25.

  In the operating device 20 according to the first embodiment, the rod-shaped lever 22 is used as the moving member to which the connecting member 21 is connected. However, the configuration of the moving member is not limited thereto. For example, a fan-shaped lever can be used as the moving member to which the connecting member 21 is connected. In the operating device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, a fan-shaped dial lever is used instead of the rod-shaped lever 22.

  An operating device 30 having a fan-shaped dial lever 32 is shown in FIG. Note that the opening adjustment device 10 connected to the operation device 30 is the same as the opening adjustment device 10 connected to the operation device 20, and thus the description thereof is omitted. Further, in the operation device 30, the operations of the connection member 31, the lever urging portion 33, etc. are the same as the operations of the connection member 21, the lever urging portion 23, etc. of the operation device 20. .

  As shown in FIG. 7, the operating device 30 includes a connection member 31, a fan-shaped dial lever 32, a lever urging portion 33, and a base 35. The connection member 31 connected to the opening degree adjusting device 10 is oriented in the extending direction by the connection member support portion 311 and is connected to the connection portion 321 of the dial lever 32. The base 35 is connected to the door D using a fixing member (not shown), and the base 35 is provided with a lever restricting portion 351 that defines the movable range of the dial lever 32.

  The fan-shaped dial lever 32 has a connection portion 321 to which the connection member 31 is connected, a rotating shaft 322 that passes through the rotation center point, a peripheral surface 323 that is an operation portion for operating the dial lever 32, and a base 35. A projecting portion 324 is provided. The dial lever 32 is connected to the base 35 so as to be rotatable about the rotation shaft 322. In the operating device 30, the user can change the operating position of the opening degree adjusting device 10 connected to the connecting member 31 by rotating the fan-shaped dial lever 32. The dial lever 32 is configured to move, tilt, or bend up to a predetermined angle in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 322.

  In the operating device 30, holes 352, 353, and 354 are provided in the base 35 instead of the lever holding part 24, and protrusions that engage with the holes 352, 353, and 354 of the base 35 on the dial lever 32. 324 is provided. When the protrusion 324 of the dial lever 32 is engaged with the holes 352, 353, and 354 of the base 35, the base 35 functions as a lever holding portion as follows.

  In the operating device 30, the protrusion 324 of the dial lever 32 engages with the holes 352, 353, 354 of the base 35, and the protrusion 324 contacts the wall of each hole. Thereby, the rotation of the dial lever 32 based on the tension applied from the connection member 31 is restricted at a position corresponding to the position of each hole. The dial lever 32 is held at the positions of the holes 352, 353, and 354 by the protrusions 324 coming into contact with the walls of the holes 352, 353, and 354 based on the tension applied from the connection member 31.

The positions of the holes 352, 353, and 354 correspond to the operating positions of the opening degree adjusting device 10, similarly to the recesses 241, 242, and 243 of the lever holding unit 24. Therefore, the user can set the opening degree of the door D by moving the dial lever 32 between the positions where the protruding portion 324 engages with the holes 352, 353, and 354.

  As described above, even in the operation device 30, the dial lever 32 is held at a position corresponding to the operation position of the opening adjustment device 10, so that the operation state of the opening adjustment device 10 with a simple configuration that does not require electrical control. Can be held.

  The lever urging portion 33 applies an external force to the dial lever 32 in a direction toward the base 35 in a direction intersecting the rotation direction of the dial lever 32, particularly in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 322. Therefore, the dial lever 32 contacts the base 35 in the direction in which the protrusion 324 engages with the holes 352, 353, and 354 based on the biasing by the lever biasing unit 23. As a result, the dial lever 32 comes into contact with the base 35 while engaging the protruding portion 324 and the holes 352, 353, and 354 unless the user operates the direction away from the base in the direction intersecting the rotation direction. Be energized by. Therefore, in the operating device 30, movement in a direction intersecting with the rotation direction of the dial lever 32 based on vibration or the like during vehicle travel is suppressed. Therefore, the operating device 30 can also prevent a change in the operating state of the opening adjustment device 10 based on the movement of the dial lever 32 that is not intended by the user.

  In the operating device 20 according to the first embodiment, the lever urging portion 23 is used to urge the lever 22 in the direction intersecting the rotation direction. However, the configuration for urging the lever 22 in the direction intersecting the rotation direction is as follows. Not limited to. In the operating device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, instead of the lever urging portion 23, the lever is formed by a leaf spring, and the lever is urged in the direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lever by the elastic force of the leaf spring.

  An operating device 40 according to this embodiment is shown in FIG. Note that the opening degree adjusting device 10 connected to the operating device 40 is the same as the opening degree adjusting device 10 connected to the operating device 20, and thus the description thereof is omitted. Further, in the operation device 40, the operations of the connection member 41, the lever holding portion 44, and the like are the same as the operations of the connection member 21, the lever holding portion 24, and the like of the operation device 20, and therefore, differences will be mainly described.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the operating device 40 is provided with a connection member 41, a lever 42, a lever holding portion 44, and a base 45.

Due to the elastic force of the leaf spring, the lever 42 is applied with a force toward the lever holding portion 44 in the direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lever 42, particularly in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 422, by the elastic force of the leaf spring. Has been. Therefore, the lever 42 contacts the lever holding portion 44 based on the biasing. Therefore, similarly to the operation device 20, the operation device 40 also suppresses the movement in the direction intersecting the rotation direction of the lever 42 based on vibrations or the like during traveling of the vehicle, and opens based on the movement of the lever 42 that is not intended by the user. A change in the operating state of the degree adjusting device 10 can be prevented. In the operating device 40, since the lever 42 is formed of a leaf spring, there is no need to provide a separate lever urging portion, so the number of members constituting the operating device can be reduced, and the operating device can be simplified. It can be set as a simple structure.

  In the operating device 40 according to the present embodiment, the lever 42 is formed by a leaf spring, but the configuration in which the lever 42 is biased toward the lever holding portion 44 by the elastic force of the leaf spring is limited to this.

For example, a lever is formed by using a biasing member such as a leaf spring in a part of the lever, and a force is applied and biased by the biasing member toward the lever holding portion 44. You can also.

  The shape of the moving member formed by the leaf spring is not limited to a rod shape. For example, the moving member can have an arbitrary shape such as a fan like the dial lever 32 in the operating device 30 according to the second embodiment.

  Further, when the lever 42 is formed of a leaf spring, a lever that can slide in the extending direction of the connecting member 41 is used instead of the rotatable lever 42 as the moving member to which the connecting member 41 is connected. You can also. In this case, the lever slidable in the extending direction of the connecting member 41 moves the connecting member 41 to the opening degree adjusting device 10 side or the operating device 40 side by sliding in the extending direction of the connecting member 41. It is possible to change the operating state of the opening adjustment device 10 based on the sliding of the lever. Further, by holding the lever with the lever holding portion 44, the operating state of the opening degree adjusting device 10 can be held based on the tension from the connection member 41. Furthermore, the lever can be biased in a direction toward the lever holding portion 24 in a direction intersecting the sliding direction by the elastic force of the leaf spring. Therefore, even if the lever is used, the movement in the direction intersecting the sliding direction of the lever based on the vibration during the traveling of the vehicle is suppressed as in the case of the pivotable lever 42, and the lever is not intended by the user. It is possible to prevent a change in the operating state of the opening adjustment device 10 based on movement. Note that the lever is also configured to move, tilt, or bend in a direction that intersects the sliding direction of the lever so that the contact with the contact portion of the lever holding portion 44 can be released. The Further, any existing configuration can be used as the configuration of the slidable lever. For example, the lever is configured such that a protrusion that engages with the groove provided on the base 45 is provided on the lever, and the protrusion is slidable in the extending direction of the connection member 41 according to the groove by engaging the groove. be able to.

  In the operating device 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the lever holding portion 24 restricts the rotation of the lever 22 and holds the lever 22 at a desired position. However, the structure which hold | maintains the lever to which the connection member was connected in a desired position in the movement direction of a lever is not restricted to this.

  The operating device 50 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A to 10C. FIG. 9A schematically shows the operating device 50 when the door D is set to the first opening. FIG. 9B schematically shows the operating device 50 when the door D is set to the second opening. 10A to 10C show the operation of the operating device 50 when the operating state of the opening degree adjusting device 10 is changed using the operating device 50. Note that the opening adjustment device 10 connected to the operation device 50 is the same as the opening adjustment device 10 connected to the operation device 20, and thus the description thereof is omitted. Further, in the operation device 50, the operation of the connection member 51, the connection portion 521, and the like is the same as the operation of the connection member 21, the connection portion 221 and the like of the operation device 20, and therefore, the description will focus on the differences.

  As shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the operating device 50 is provided with a connecting member 51, a fan-shaped dial lever 52, an urging portion 53, and a base 55. The connection member 51 connected to the opening degree adjusting device 10 is oriented in the extending direction by the connection member support portion 511 and is connected to the connection portion 521 of the dial lever 52. The base 55 is connected to the door D using a fixing member (not shown).

  The dial lever 52 is provided with a connection portion 521 connected to the connection member 51, a rotation shaft 522 passing through the rotation center point, a peripheral surface 523 serving as an operation portion, and a storage portion 54. The dial lever 52 can rotate around the rotation shaft 522, and the rotation shaft 522 is connected to the base 55. The housing portion 54 includes a first groove portion 541 that engages with the pair of pressing elements 531 of the urging portion 53, a pair of the second groove portion 542 and the third groove portion 543, and a first peak portion 544 between the groove portions. And a pair of second peak portions 545 is provided. The accommodating portion 54 accommodates the urging portion 53. The groove portions (engagement portions) 541, 542, and 543 form a groove portion pair with the groove portions provided at positions symmetrical to the rotation shaft 522. Similarly, the peak portions 544 and 545 between the groove portions form a pair of peak portions between the peak portions provided at positions symmetrical with respect to the rotation axis 522. Each pair of groove portions 541, 542, and 543 is provided at a predetermined position in the circumference direction of the circle around the rotation axis, that is, around the rotation axis, around the rotation shaft 522. When each pair of the groove portions 541, 542, 543 engages with the pair of pressing elements 531 of the urging portion 53 accommodated in the accommodating portion 54, each operation of the opening degree adjusting device 10 connected via the connecting member 51. It is provided at a predetermined position so as to hold the dial lever 52 at a position corresponding to the position.

  The urging portion 53 is fixed to the base 55. The urging portion 53 includes a pair of pressing member urging members 532 extending in directions opposite to each other in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 522, and a pressing member urging force. A pair of pressing elements 531 connected to the member 532 is provided. The pair of pressing elements (contact portions) 531 is provided at the end of each pressing element urging member 532 apart from the pair of pressing element urging members 532. The pair of pressing element urging members 532 can be formed by using an arbitrary elastic member such as a spring or rubber, and are opposite to each other in the radial direction of the rotation shaft 522 with respect to the pair of pressing elements 531. In other words, an external force is applied in a direction away from the rotating shaft 522 and urged. When the urging portion 53 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 54, the pair of pressing elements 531 is based on the urging force of the pair of pressing element urging members 532. It abuts against the pair of portions 544 and 545.

  Here, with reference to FIGS. 9A and 9B, the holding of the dial lever 52 and the holding of the operation state of the opening adjustment device 10 by the biasing portion 53 and the housing portion 54 will be described.

  In FIG. 9A, the pair of pressing elements 531 are in contact with and engaged with the pair of first groove portions 541. Here, since the pair of pressing element urging members 532 urges the pair of pressing elements 531 in a direction away from each other, the engagement state between the pair of pressing elements 531 and the pair of the first groove portions 541 is maintained. To do. When the pair of pressing elements 531 are engaged with the pair of first groove portions 541, relative movement between the pair of pressing elements 531 and the first groove portion 541 is restricted based on the engagement. Therefore, the urging portion 53 restricts the rotation of the housing portion 54 provided with the first groove portion 541 and thus the dial lever 52 by engaging the pair of the pair of pressing elements 531 and the first groove portion 541. Can do. Therefore, the urging portion 53 applies an external force to the dial lever 52 in a direction away from the rotation shaft 522 in the radial direction of the rotation shaft 522, so that the presser 531 and the first groove portion 541 are engaged with the dial lever 52. Can be held in position. Here, the first groove portion 541 sets the opening degree of the door D to the first opening degree by engaging the dial lever 52 to which the connecting member 51 is connected with the first groove portion 541 and the pressing element 531. It is provided so that it can be held at a position corresponding to the operating position of the opening adjustment device 10. Therefore, by holding the dial lever 52 at a position where the pressing element 531 and the first groove portion 541 are engaged, the opening degree is adjusted by the operating position and the operating state in which the opening degree of the door D is set to the first opening degree. The device 10 can be held.

  When a predetermined external force is applied to the dial lever 52 in the rotational direction by the user and the engagement between the pressing element 531 and the first groove portion 541 is released, the dial lever 52 can rotate according to the external force. Here, the magnitude of the external force necessary for releasing the engagement between the pressing element 531 and the grooves 541, 542, 543 is set to a value larger than the tension applied to the dial lever 52 from the opening adjustment device 10. can do. In this case, the dial lever 52 can be prevented from unintentionally moving due to the tension. Further, by setting the magnitude of the external force necessary for releasing the engagement between the pressing element 531 and the groove portions 541, 542, 543 to a value sufficiently larger than the tension, the vibration of the vehicle during traveling, etc. It is possible to prevent the dial lever from moving unintentionally. When setting the magnitude of the external force necessary to release the engagement between the pressing element 531 and the groove parts 541, 542, 543, for example, the elastic coefficient of the pressing element urging member 532 or the pressing element 531 and the groove part. The relative position in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 522 with respect to 541, 542, and 543 can be considered.

  In the operating device 50 shown in FIG. 9B, a pair of pressing elements 531 is engaged with a pair of second groove portions 542 to hold the position of the dial lever 52. Here, when the dial lever 52 is rotated to the position shown in FIG. 9B, the connecting member 51 is connected to the connecting member 51 as compared to the position of the dial lever 52 that sets the opening degree of the door D shown in FIG. 9A to the first opening degree. It moves to the direction away from the support part 511, ie, the operating device 50 side. Therefore, the movement position of the opening adjustment device 10 can be changed and the operation state of the opening adjustment device 10 can be changed as the connecting member 51 moves toward the operation device 50. Here, the second groove part 542 sets the opening degree of the door D to the second opening degree by engaging the dial lever 52 to which the connecting member 51 is connected with the second groove part 542 and the pressing element 531. It is provided so that it can be held at a position corresponding to the operating position of the opening adjustment device 10. Therefore, the dial lever 52 is held at a position where the presser 531 and the second groove portion 542 are engaged, so that the opening adjustment device 10 sets the opening degree of the door D to the second opening degree, It can be held in the operating state.

  Similarly, the operating state of the opening adjustment device 10 can be changed by rotating the dial lever 52 to a position where the pair of pressing elements 531 are engaged with the pair of third grooves 543. Further, the position of the dial lever 52 can be held by the pair of the pair of pressing elements 531 and the third groove portion 543 engaging with each other. Here, the third groove portion 543 is configured to set the opening degree of the door D to a fully open position by engaging the dial lever 52 connected to the connecting member 51 with the third groove portion 543 and the pressing element 531. It is provided so that it can be held at a position corresponding to the operating position of the adjusting device 10. Therefore, by holding the dial lever 52 at a position where the presser 531 and the third groove portion 543 are engaged, the opening adjustment device 10 sets the opening degree of the door D to the fully open opening position, the operating state. Can be held in.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 10A thru | or C, between the energizing part 53 and the accommodating part 54 at the time of setting the opening degree of the door D from a 1st opening degree to a 2nd opening degree using the operating device 50 The operation will be described. 10A to 10C are enlarged views of the urging portion 53 and the accommodating portion 54 of the dial lever 52, respectively. FIG. 10A shows the dial lever 52 when the opening degree of the door D is set to the first opening degree. FIG. 10B shows the dial lever 52 that moves to set the opening degree of the door D from the first opening degree to the second opening degree. FIG. 10C shows the dial lever 52 when the opening degree of the door D is set to the second opening degree.

  When the opening degree of the door D is set to the first opening degree, as shown in FIG. 10A, the pair of pressing element urging members 532 urges the pair of pressing elements 531 in a direction away from each other, The pair of first grooves 541 are brought into contact with and engaged with each other. Since the pressing element urging member 532 urges the pressing element 531 in the direction away from the rotation shaft 522, the pressing element 531 and the first groove portion 541 can be kept in contact with and engaged with each other. When the engagement state between the pressing element 531 and the first groove portion 541 is maintained, the rotation of the dial lever 52 is restricted. Therefore, the dial lever 52 is located at a position where the pressing member 531 and the first groove portion 541 are engaged. , Held at the rotation angle.

  Here, when an external force is applied to the dial lever 52 so that the user touches the peripheral surface 523 of the dial lever 52 and rotates the dial lever 52, as shown in FIG. The dial lever 52 rotates while contacting the pair of portions 544. Here, since the pressing element 531 and the first peak part 544 are formed in a shape such as a convex shape that does not engage with each other, the pressing element 531 and the first peak part 544 do not engage even if they abut. When the pressing element 531 and the first peak portion 544 come into contact with each other, the pair of pressing elements 531 are moved in a direction approaching each other along the shape of the pair of the first peak portions 544. Therefore, the pair of pressing elements The biasing member 532 is compressed and accumulates an external force applied to the pair of connected pressing elements 531.

  When an external force is applied to the dial lever 52 so that the user further rotates the dial lever 52, the pressing element 531 moves beyond the first peak portion 544, so that the pressing element urging member 532 is applied to the pressing element 531. The accumulated external force is applied and biased toward the second groove 542. The pair of pressing member urging members 532 urges the pair of pressing members 531 toward the pair of second groove portions 542, thereby bringing the pair of pressing members 531 into contact with the second groove portions 542 and engaging them. Let Since the pressing element urging member 532 urges the pressing element 531 in the direction away from the rotation shaft 522, the abutting and engaging state between the pressing element 531 and the second groove 542 can be maintained. When the engagement state between the pressing element 531 and the second groove portion 542 is maintained, the rotation of the dial lever 52 is restricted, so that the dial lever 52 is located at a position where the pressing member 531 and the second groove portion 542 are engaged. , Held at the rotation angle.

  The operation of the urging portion 53 and the accommodating portion 54 when the opening degree of the door D is set from the second opening degree to the fully open opening degree using the operating device 50 is the same. In this case, the dial lever 52 , The pressing element 531 passes over the second peak portion 545 and comes into contact with and engages with the third groove portion 543. Therefore, the pressing member urging member 532 maintains the engagement state between the pressing member 531 and the third groove portion 543, restricts the rotation of the dial lever, and the dial lever 52 is engaged with the pressing member 531 and the third groove portion 543. Hold at the matching position and rotation angle.

  As described above, in the operation device 50, the dial lever 52 is held at a predetermined position by the engagement between the pressing element 531 of the urging portion 53 and the grooves 541, 542, and 543 of the accommodating portion 54, so that the dial lever 52 is held. The operating state of the opening degree adjusting device 10 connected to can be maintained.

And an urging portion 53 that urges and applies a force in a predetermined direction. The dial lever 52 rotates around a rotation axis 522 that passes through the rotation center point. The opening adjustment device 10 adjusts the opening of the vehicle door D based on the movement of the connection member 51 accompanying the movement of the dial lever 52. The dial lever 52 includes grooves 541, 542, and 543 that engage with the pressing elements 531 at a plurality of predetermined positions along the rotation direction in the dial lever 52. The presser 531 restricts the movement of the dial lever 52 by engaging with the grooves 541, 542, 543 based on the force applied by the urging portion 53, and corresponds to the engaged grooves 541, 542, 543. The dial lever 52 is held at a predetermined rotational position.

  The opening adjustment device 10 operates at each operation position for adjusting the opening of the vehicle door D based on the position of the dial lever 52 connected via the connection member 51. Accordingly, the operation device 50 has a simple configuration that does not require electrical control by holding the dial lever 52 based on the engagement between the pressing element 531 biased by the biasing portion 53 and the grooves 541, 542, and 543. The operating state of the opening adjustment device 10 can be maintained.

  In the operating device 50 according to the present embodiment, the groove portions 541, 542, 543, the pressing element 531 and the pressing element urging member 532 are provided so as to have pairs, but these are not configured as a pair. May be. Therefore, only one groove part, pressing element, and pressing element urging member may be provided.

  In the operation device 50, the urging portion 53 includes a pressing element 531 that abuts against the grooves 541, 542, and 543 of the dial lever 52 and a pressing element urging member 532 that urges the pressing element 531. However, the configuration of the urging unit 53 is not limited to this. For example, the urging portion includes a leaf spring, and a part of the leaf spring extends in the radial direction of the rotation shaft 522 and moves away from the rotation shaft 522 in the radial direction of the rotation shaft 522 by the elastic force of the leaf spring. The urging unit may be configured to be urged. In this case, a part of the leaf spring extending in the radial direction of the rotation shaft 522 functions as a contact portion that contacts the groove portions 541, 542, and 543.

  Furthermore, although the dial lever 52 is formed as a fan-shaped lever, the shape of the lever is not limited to this. The shape of the lever may be, for example, an arbitrary shape such as a rod like the lever 22 of the operating device 20.

  In addition, the number of groove parts can be provided in an arbitrary number corresponding to the number of operating states of the opening adjustment device 10. That is, when the opening adjustment device 10 can set the opening of the door D in four stages, the groove portions can be provided at four positions corresponding to the operating positions of the opening adjustment device 10. In addition, when the opening adjustment device 10 can set the opening of the door D in two stages, the groove portion can be provided at two positions corresponding to the respective operation positions of the opening adjustment device 10.

  In the operating device 50 according to the fourth embodiment, the pair of pressing elements 531 is urged by the pair of pressing element urging members 532 and engaged with the pair of grooves 541, 542, and 543, so that the rotational position of the dial lever 52 is adjusted. Retained. On the other hand, the rotational position of the dial lever can also be held by bringing one contact portion formed using a leaf spring into contact with and engaging with a groove provided in the dial lever.
