  In the vehicle operation device, when the operation angle (rotation angle) of the operation side pulley is increased in one direction, a part of the cable is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the operation side pulley in the vicinity of the cable fixing portion of the operation side pulley. there is a possibility. When the operation side pulley is rotated in the reverse direction in this state, the operation side pulley is idled (hereinafter, this state is referred to as hysteresis) until the part where the cable is separated contacts the outer peripheral surface. That is, there is room for improvement in order to increase the operation angle of the operation side pulley while suppressing the occurrence of hysteresis in the operation side pulley.

  In consideration of the above fact, an object of the present invention is to obtain a vehicular operating device capable of expanding the operating angle of the operating pulley while suppressing the occurrence of hysteresis in the operating pulley.

  In the vehicular operating device according to the first aspect of the present invention, the holding member disposed between the operated pulley and the operating pulley is configured such that the pulling side cable and the pushing side cable are viewed from the direction of the rotation axis. The pull-side cable and the push-side cable are held so that they intersect or overlap each other. Here, when the operation angle of the operation side pulley is expanded in one direction from a preset rotation angle, the cable wrap angle on the wound surface of the operation side pulley is larger than that of the conventional holding member. It is increasing. For this reason, when the operation side pulley is operated from one direction to the opposite direction, the contact state between the wound surface of the operation side pulley and the cable is maintained, so that the idle rotation state of the operation side pulley is suppressed. Thereby, the operation angle of the operation side pulley can be expanded while suppressing the occurrence of hysteresis in the operation side pulley.

  The vehicle operating device 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 includes a cable 12, a pair of pulleys 11, and a holding member 18. The pair of pulleys 11 includes an operated pulley 14 and an operating pulley 16. In the following description, a direction in which a rotation axis K2 of the operation side pulley 16 to be described later extends is referred to as an X direction, and a direction in which the operated side pulley 14 and the operation side pulley 16 are aligned is referred to as a Y direction. The X direction and the Y direction are orthogonal to each other as an example. A direction orthogonal to the X direction and the Y direction is referred to as a Z direction.

<Cable>
The cable 12 is composed of two steel wires 12A and 12B each having one end and another end in the axial direction. For example, the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the axial direction of the cable 12 is substantially circular. Moreover, the cable 12 is formed in an endless shape (annular) as a whole by connecting one end and the other end in the axial direction of the two steel wires 12A and 12B by connecting members 22 and 23 (fixing tools). Has been. The connecting members 22 and 23 are configured to sandwich and hold one end and the other end of the steel wires 12A and 12B. The cable 12 is wound around the operated pulley 14 and the operating pulley 16 by fixing the connecting member 22 to the operating pulley 16 and fixing the connecting member 23 to the operated pulley 14 ( Is being handed over). Thereby, the rotational force (operation force) of the operation side pulley 16 is transmitted to the operated pulley 14.

  Of the cable 12, a portion wound around a wound surface 16 </ b> C of an outer peripheral surface 16 </ b> A of an operation side pulley 16 described later is a first contact portion 13 </ b> A, and a wound surface 14 </ b> C of an outer peripheral surface 14 </ b> A of the operated side pulley 14. The part wound around is referred to as a second contact portion 13B and divided. Further, a portion of the cable 12 excluding the first contact portion 13A and the second contact portion 13B (a portion disposed between the operation side pulley 16 and the operated side pulley 14) is referred to as a non-contact portion 13C. Note that the names of the first contact portion 13A, the second contact portion 13B, and the non-contact portion 13C are names used to distinguish the portions of the cable 12 at a certain point of the circular movement of the cable 12, and specify the cable 12 It is not a name that represents the part.

  In the following description, the pulling side steel wire 12A or the steel wire 12B pulled by the operation of the operation side pulley 16 in the non-contact portion 13C of the cable 12 may be referred to as a pulling side cable 15A. Further, the push-side steel wire 12A or the steel wire 12B pushed out by the operation of the operation-side pulley 16 may be referred to as a push-side cable 15B. When the rotation direction of the operation side pulley 16 changes, the pull side cable 15A and the push side cable 15B are interchanged.

<Operated pulley>
The operated pulley 14 is provided (supported) so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis K1 by a base member (not shown). In addition, the axial direction of the rotating shaft K1 is along the X direction as an example. Specifically, the operated pulley 14 is formed in a disc shape, and is circular when viewed from the X direction. As shown in FIG. 2B, the operated pulley 14 has an outer peripheral surface 14A that is a side surface along the circumferential direction. The outer circumferential surface 14A is formed with a groove 14B that is recessed inward in the radial direction over the entire circumference of the outer circumferential surface 14A. The bottom surface of the groove 14B is a wound surface 14C around which the cable 12 is wound. The wound surface 14C constitutes a part of the outer peripheral surface 14A.

  The width of the groove 14 </ b> B in the X direction shown in FIG. 1 is wider than the width of the cable 12. And the 2nd contact part 13B of the cable 12 is wound around the groove part 14B (covered surface 14C). In other words, the second contact portion 13B of the cable 12 is in contact with the groove portion 14B. As an example, a door member that opens and closes a flow path of an air conditioner (not shown) is connected to the operated pulley 14. Specifically, as an example, the door member is formed in a quadrangular plate shape, and a cylindrical shaft portion extends from a side surface serving as one side of the quadrilateral. The tip of the shaft is connected (fixed) along the axial direction to the rotation center of the operated pulley 14. Thereby, when the operated pulley 14 rotates (turns), the door member rotates (turns).

In the following description, the clockwise direction (forward direction) with respect to the rotation axes K1 and K2 in FIG. 1 is referred to as + R direction, and the counterclockwise direction (reverse direction) is referred to as −R direction.

  As an example, the operation side pulley 16 is arranged with an interval in the Y direction with respect to the operated side pulley 14. Specifically, the operation-side pulley 16 is formed in a disc shape, and is circular when viewed from the X direction. As shown in FIG. 2A, the operation side pulley 16 has an outer peripheral surface 16A which is a side surface along the circumferential direction. The outer peripheral surface 16A is formed with a groove 16B that is recessed inward in the radial direction over the entire periphery of the outer peripheral surface 16A. The bottom surface of the groove portion 16B is a winding surface 16C around which the cable 12 is wound. The wound surface 16C constitutes a part of the outer peripheral surface 16A. The arrangement position and the arrangement direction of the operation side pulley 16 with respect to the operated side pulley 14 shown in FIG. 1 can be freely set.

  The width of the groove 16 </ b> B in the X direction shown in FIG. 1 is wider than the width (outer diameter) of the cable 12. The first contact portion 13A of the cable 12 is wound around the groove portion 16B (the winding surface 16C). In other words, the first contact portion 13A of the cable 12 is in contact with the groove portion 16B. As an example, an operation dial (not shown) that is operated by an operator is attached to the operation side pulley 16. Specifically, the operation dial is formed in a columnar shape as an example, and a columnar shaft portion extends from the center portion of the circular end surface to the outside in the axial direction. This shaft portion is inserted into a through hole of a side plate (not shown). Further, the tip end portion of the shaft portion is attached (fixed) along the axial direction to the rotation center of the operation side pulley 16 on the side opposite to the operation dial side of the side plate. Thereby, when the operation dial is rotated, the operation-side pulley 16 is rotated (turned).

  As shown in FIG. 3A, a fixing portion 32 that is recessed from the wound surface 16C toward the inside in the radial direction is formed on a part of the circumferential surface of the wound surface 16C. As an example, the fixed portion 32 includes a bottomed, slit-shaped (or square-shaped) hole portion that has the radial direction of the operation-side pulley 16 as an axial direction and is open on the outside. The size and shape of the fixing part 32 are such that the connecting member 22 is fixed to the fixing part 32 by press-fitting. That is, when the connecting member 22 is press-fitted into the fixing portion 32, a part of the cable 12 is fixed to the outer peripheral portion of the operation side pulley 16 and is wound around the winding surface 16 </ b> C.

<Holding member>
As shown in FIG. 1, the holding member 18 is disposed between the operated pulley 14 and the operating pulley 16 in the Y direction. As shown in FIG. 2A, the holding member 18 includes a holder 24 and holding plates 26 and 28 as an example.

(holder)

  The first cylindrical portion 24A and the second cylindrical portion 24B have substantially the same length in the Y direction, and the heights on one end side and the other end side in the Y direction are aligned. Here, the first cylinder part 24A and the second cylinder part 24B are arranged such that the second cylinder part 24B is arranged in the X direction and the Z direction with respect to the first cylinder part 24A so that the cables 12 are not arranged in the X direction and the Z direction. The arrangement is shifted in the direction (shifted obliquely in the XZ plane).

  The column portion 24C is disposed between the first tube portion 24A and the second tube portion 24B in the XZ plane, and the first tube portion 24A and the second tube portion 24B are connected in the oblique direction described above. Are connected. Moreover, the support | pillar part 24C is formed in the prismatic shape which makes a Y direction a longitudinal direction as an example. Further, the support column 24C is attached to a mounted portion (not shown) of the vehicle, and supports the first cylindrical portion 24A and the second cylindrical portion 24B.

(Holding plate)
The holding plate 26 shown in FIG. 3A extends from one end (the end on the operation side pulley 16 side) of the first cylindrical portion 24A toward a part of the outer peripheral surface 16A when viewed from the X direction. Be present. Specifically, the vertical line along the Y direction passing through the rotation axis K2 is V, and the horizontal line along the Z direction passing through the rotation axis K2 is H. The holding plate 26 is more than the vertical line V in the second cylindrical portion 24B. It extends toward the outer peripheral surface 16A on the side and closer to the second cylindrical portion 24B than the horizontal line H. Further, as an example, when viewed from the X direction, the holding plate 26 has a curved portion 26A that is curved in an arc shape in the vicinity of the first cylindrical portion 24A, and a linear shape from the curved portion 26A toward the outer peripheral surface 16A. It is comprised with the linear part 26B extended in this.

  Further, a groove portion (not shown) that is recessed in the thickness direction of the holding plate 26 is formed in a portion of the holding plate 26 that contacts the cable 12. When the cable 12 is fitted in the groove, movement of the cable 12 in the X direction is restricted. The holding plate 26 is in contact with the cable 12 from the lower side in the Y direction. That is, the holding plate 26 functions as a guide member that guides the cable 12 in the setting direction, and holds the cable 12 slidably.

  When viewed from the X direction, the holding plate 28 extends from one end portion (the end portion on the operation side pulley 16 side) of the second cylindrical portion 24B toward a part of the outer peripheral surface 16A. Specifically, the holding plate 28 extends toward the outer peripheral surface 16A closer to the first cylindrical portion 24A than the vertical line V and closer to the first cylindrical portion 24A than the horizontal line H. Further, as an example, the holding plate 28, when viewed from the X direction, is a curved portion 28A that is curved in an arc shape in the vicinity of the second cylindrical portion 24B, and a linear shape from the curved portion 28A toward the outer peripheral surface 16A. It is comprised by the linear part 28B extended in this.

  Furthermore, a groove portion (not shown) that is recessed in the thickness direction of the holding plate 28 is formed at a portion of the holding plate 28 that contacts the cable 12. When the cable 12 is fitted in the groove, movement of the cable 12 in the X direction is restricted. The holding plate 28 is in contact with the cable 12 from the lower side in the Y direction. That is, the holding plate 28 functions as a guide member for guiding the cable 12 in the setting direction and holds the cable 12 slidably.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the longitudinal section of the operation side pulley 16 is viewed from the X direction, the opening end of the fixed portion 32 is a curved surface. A part of the cable 12 drawn from the connecting member 22 is wound around the curved surface. Here, the winding start position of the cable 12 on the side close to the holding member 18 at the opening end of the fixed portion 32 is defined as a point A. Further, a position where the cable 12 on the side close to the holding member 18 is separated from the operation side pulley 16 is a point B. Furthermore, the distance from the point A to the point B in the circumferential direction of the groove 16B of the operation side pulley 16 is defined as d1. In other words, the cable 12 closer to the holding member 18 than the fixing portion 32 is wound around the outer peripheral surface 16A (the wound surface 16C) of the operation side pulley 16 with a length corresponding to the distance d1.

  Further, the holding member 18 holds and guides the pull-side cable 15A and the push-side cable 15B so that the pull-side cable 15A and the push-side cable 15B intersect (partially overlap) when viewed from the X direction. Yes. Note that the overlap width in the Y direction between the pull-side cable 15A and the push-side cable 15B when viewed from the X direction is W1. Further, the overlap width in the Y direction between the holding plate 26 and the holding plate 28 when viewed from the X direction is defined as W2.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cable 12 guided by the holding member 18 is wound around the wound surface 16 </ b> C of the operation side pulley 16 while being fitted in the groove 16 </ b> B. Here, for example, when the operator rotates an operation dial (not shown) about the rotation axis K2 in the −R direction, the operation side pulley 16 is operated (rotated) in the −R direction. The pull-side cable 15A of the cable 12 is pulled toward the fixing portion 32, and the push-side cable 15B is pushed toward the holding member 18, whereby the operated pulley 14 is operated (rotated) in the + R direction. It is like that.

  When the operation dial is rotated in the + R direction, the operation side pulley 16 is rotated in the + R direction, and the operated side pulley 14 is rotated in the −R direction. Note that even if the operator operates (rotates) the operation dial in the + R direction or the −R direction, the operation of the operation dial is driven by the operated pulley 14 because the cable 12 is pulled. Transmitted as power.

<Comparative example>
FIG. 6A shows a vehicle operation device 200 of a comparative example. The vehicle operating device 200 is provided with a holding member 202 in place of the holding member 18 (see FIG. 1) in the vehicle operating device 10 (see FIG. 1) of the present embodiment. Since the configuration other than the holding member 202 is the same as that of the vehicle operation device 10, the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof is omitted.

  The holding member 202 includes a holder 204 and holding plates 206 and 208. The holder 204 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape that is long in the Y direction. Further, the holder 204 is formed with a first insertion hole 25A and a second insertion hole 25B along the Y direction side by side in the Z direction. The holding plates 206 and 208 extend from the end portion of the holder 204 near the operation side pulley 16 toward the outer peripheral surface 16 </ b> A of the operation side pulley 16. The holding member 202 guides the pull-side cable 15A and the push-side cable 15B so that the pull-side cable 15A and the push-side cable 15B do not overlap when viewed from the X direction. Specifically, the holding plates 206 and 208 are arranged apart from each other in the Z direction without overlapping when viewed from the X direction.

  In the vehicle operating device 200 of the comparative example, it is assumed that the operation angle in the operation side pulley 16 is increased in one direction (+ R direction) in order to reduce the operation force necessary for the operation of the operation side pulley 16. At this time, as shown in FIG. 6B, there is no means for pressing the cable 12 against the operation side pulley 16 more than the holding plate 208. For this reason, in the vicinity of the fixing portion of the cable 12 of the operation side pulley 16, a part of the cable 12 is separated from the groove portion 16 </ b> B (the wound surface 16 </ b> C) of the operation side pulley 16. When the operation side pulley 16 is rotated in the reverse direction (−R direction) in this state, the operation side pulley is kept until a portion away from the point B of the cable 12 comes into contact with the groove portion 16B (wound surface 16C). Sixteen idle states (hereinafter referred to as hysteresis) will occur.

[Action]
Next, the operation and effect of the vehicle operating device 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

  In the vehicle operating device 10 shown in FIG. 1, the pulling cable 15 </ b> A and the push cable 15 </ b> B are held and guided by the holding member 18. Thereby, when viewed from the X direction, a part of the pull-side cable 15A and a part of the push-side cable 15B are overlapped (intersected) in the X direction.

  Here, in the vehicle operating device 10, when the operation angle of the operation side pulley 16 is increased in the + R direction from the preset rotation angle, the winding of the push-side cable 15B on the wound surface 16C of the operation side pulley 16 is increased. The hanging range is increased as compared with the comparative example described above. Specifically, the distance d1 increases (see FIG. 4). For this reason, when the operation side pulley 16 is reversed from the + R direction to the −R direction, the contact state between the wound surface 16C of the operation side pulley 16 and the cable 12 is maintained. As a result, a so-called idle rotation state in which the cable does not follow even when the operation side pulley 16 is operated is suppressed, so that the operation angle of the operation side pulley 16 is expanded while suppressing the occurrence of hysteresis in the operation side pulley 16. Can do.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the operation angle by the vehicle operation device 200 of the comparative example described above (see FIG. 6A) is represented by θ, the vehicle operation device of the present embodiment. 10, the operation angle can be increased by an angle α in the + R direction and the −R direction, respectively, as compared with the comparative example. That is, in the present embodiment, the operation range is expanded to the operation angle θ + 2α with respect to the operation range of the operation angle θ of the comparative example. The angle 2α is about 10 degrees as an example.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

Further, when viewed from the X direction, the entire holding plate 46 is curved in an arc shape, and extends from the vicinity of the first cylindrical portion 24A to a position facing a part of the outer peripheral surface 16A.

  Further, a groove portion (not shown) that is recessed in the thickness direction of the holding plate 46 is formed at a portion of the holding plate 46 that contacts the cable 12. When the cable 12 is fitted in the groove, movement of the cable 12 in the X direction is restricted. The holding plate 46 is in contact with the cable 12 from the lower side in the Y direction, functions as a guide member that guides the cable 12 in the setting direction, and holds the cable 12 slidably.

Yes. When viewed from the X direction, the holding plate 46 and the holding plate 48 do not overlap in the X direction.

  Here, in the vehicle operating device 40, when the operation angle of the operation side pulley 16 is expanded in the + R direction from the preset rotation angle, the winding of the push side cable 15B on the wound surface 16C of the operation side pulley 16 is increased. The hanging range is increased as compared with the comparative example described above. For this reason, when the operation side pulley 16 is reversed from the + R direction to the −R direction, the contact state between the wound surface 16C of the operation side pulley 16 and the cable 12 is maintained. Thereby, since the idling state of the operation side pulley 16 is suppressed, the operation angle of the operation side pulley 16 can be expanded while suppressing the occurrence of hysteresis in the operation side pulley 16.

[Other variations]
The holding member 18 has a configuration in which the first cylindrical portion 24A and the second cylindrical portion 24B are extended in place of the holding plates 26 and 28 if the sliding resistance during the movement of the cable 12 does not cause a problem. May be. Similarly, the holding member 42 may be configured by extending the first cylindrical portion 24A and the second cylindrical portion 24B in place of the holding plates 46 and 48.

  In addition, the holding plates 26, 28, 46, and 48 are fixed members, but instead of these, for example, a pulley that rotates with the X direction as the rotation axis direction may be provided. That is, a part of the cable 12 may be wound around a part of the outer peripheral surface (the surface to be wound) of the pulley, and the cable 12 may be guided to the operation side pulley 16 by the pulley.

  Further, an urging member such as a spring is provided so that the holding plates 26, 28, 46, 48 can be moved in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the cable 12 when viewed from the X direction, and an urging force is applied to the cable 12. You may let them. Thereby, the amount of wrapping of the cable 12 near the fixed portion 32 of the operation side pulley 16 can be increased.

  In addition, the holding plates 26, 28, 46, 48 may be provided on the operated pulley 14 side of the holders 24, 44. In addition, the holding plates 26 and 28 may not have a linear portion and may have a curved shape as a whole. The holding plates 46 and 48 may have a linear portion.

  The vehicular operating devices 10 and 40 are not limited to those that operate a vehicle air conditioner, but can be used in other devices that operate members using cables in a vehicle. For example, it may be one that operates a hood or door opening / closing device, or one that operates a fuel filler lid opening / closing device.

  As mentioned above, although the operation device for vehicles concerning the embodiment of the present invention and each modification was explained, these embodiments and each modification may be combined suitably, and in the range which does not deviate from the gist of the present invention, Of course, it can be implemented in various modes.
