BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a webbing take-up device capable of instantaneously stopping the rotation of the take-up shaft in the webbing pull-out direction by actuating a locking means when the webbing is suddenly pulled out.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a webbing take-up device mounted on a vehicle, a lock wheel is delayed in rotation in response to a sudden withdrawal of webbing, and lock means is operated by relative rotation between a take-up shaft and a lock wheel. There is an apparatus that stops the rotation of the winding shaft in the webbing withdrawing direction and instantaneously prevents the webbing from being withdrawn (referred to as WSIR).

In this type of webbing retractor, when the operation of the locking means is released, the operation of the locking means is released by slightly rotating the winding shaft in the webbing retracting direction.

When the occupant releases the webbing, the take-up shaft is urged in the webbing winding direction by the urging means. Therefore, when the occupant releases the webbing, the webbing may be rapidly taken up. is there. When the winding of the webbing is completed in such a state, the rotation of the winding shaft is suddenly stopped, the state becomes the same as when the webbing is suddenly pulled out, and the locking means may be activated.

Therefore, a webbing take-up device which solves this problem has been proposed (Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 62-95058).
issue).

A webbing retractor of this type will be described with reference to FIG.

A take-up shaft 104 for taking up the webbing 102
A lock wheel 106 is pivotally supported at one end 104A. The lock wheel 106 is engaged with an internal gear wheel 110 fixed to a frame 108 to thereby take up the winding shaft 1.
A pair of lock plates 112 for stopping the rotation of the lock 04 are provided. Also, one end 104A of the winding shaft 104
The rotor 114 rotates integrally with the winding shaft 104.
Are connected. A boss 116 </ b> A of a cam 116 is fitted into the rotor 114, and the cam 116 is rotatable by frictional force with the rotor 114. The cam 116 is held by a friction spring 120 provided on the cover body 118 with a force stronger than the frictional force with the rotor 114.

A torsion coil spring 122 is disposed between the lock wheel 106 and the rotor 114. The torsion coil spring 122 biases the lock wheel 106 in the webbing pulling-out direction (the direction of arrow B in FIG. 5).

The lock ring 106 has a protrusion 12
4 is formed, and a pole 126 supported by a pin 114A of the rotor 114 can be brought into contact with the projection 124.

[0010] In the webbing take-up device having the above configuration,
At the time of webbing winding, when the winding shaft 104 rotates in the webbing winding direction (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 5), the rotor 114 also rotates integrally. In this case, the rotational force of the rotor 114 is transmitted to the cam 116 via a predetermined frictional force, but the cam 116 is not rotated because it is held by the friction spring 120.

Accordingly, one end 126A of the pawl 126 comes into contact with the notched surface 116B of the cam 116, and the pawl 126 is rotated in the direction of arrow F about the pin 114A. As a result, the pole 126 is moved to the protrusion 124 of the lock wheel 106.
To prevent the relative rotation between the lock wheel 106 and the winding shaft 104.

As a result, when the webbing is fully wound, the webbing shaft 104 is not locked by the lock plate 112, so that the webbing 102 can be easily pulled out.

By the way, when the webbing 102 pulled out in response to the change of the occupant's posture when the webbing is mounted is wound up, the lock wheel 106 and the winding shaft 104 are in the relative rotation preventing state in the same manner as described above. Is done.

Therefore, if the vehicle suddenly decelerates at this time, the take-up shaft 104 and the lock wheel 106 are not in a state in which the winding shaft 104 and the lock wheel 106 can rotate relative to each other. Since the webbing 102 is pulled out until the relative rotation is possible, the winding shaft 1
04 takes longer to stop drawing. In order to shorten the time until the webbing 102 stops being pulled out, it is necessary to improve the dimensional accuracy of the cam 116 and the pawl 126, which causes a cost increase.

[0015]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In consideration of the above facts, the present invention makes it possible to easily pull out the webbing from the entire winding state of the webbing, and also to prevent the webbing from being pulled out instantaneously when the vehicle is suddenly decelerated in a normal webbing mounted state. It is an object to provide a winding device.

[0016]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a webbing retractor including a webbing mounted on an occupant;
A winding shaft that winds the webbing, and a lock wheel having a ratchet tooth formed on the outer periphery with a ratchet tooth engaged with an acceleration sensor during rapid deceleration of the vehicle while a sudden delay of the webbing causes a rotation delay with respect to the winding shaft. A lock means for locking the rotation of the winding shaft due to a rotation delay of the lock wheel, and a lock means provided opposite to a side surface of the lock wheel, and moving along the axial direction of the lock wheel, thereby providing A lock pin that is engaged with a side surface of the take-up shaft to prevent a rotation delay of the lock wheel with respect to the take-up shaft or a release position that is separated from the side surface of the lock wheel to be a release position that allows the rotation delay; The webbing is provided coaxially and moves along the axis of the winding shaft via a feed screw portion. When the winding amount of the webbing reaches almost the entire winding, the following movement is performed by the following moving operation. By pressing the Kupyn and a, and a screw plate is moved to the blocking position from the release position.

In the webbing take-up device according to the first aspect,
When the winding amount of the webbing is around the entire winding, the lock wheel and the winding shaft are connected via the lock pin, so that the locking wheel and the winding shaft do not rotate relative to each other. Thereby, the rotation delay of the lock wheel with respect to the winding shaft is prevented. As a result, the webbing can be easily pulled out.

When the webbing winding amount is less than a predetermined value,
The lock pin disconnects the lock wheel and the winding shaft. For this reason, if the vehicle falls into a remarkably rapid deceleration state when the webbing is mounted, the rotation of the lock wheel is delayed with respect to the winding shaft, and the rotation of the winding shaft is prevented by the locking means, and the webbing is immediately pulled out. You.

As shown in FIG. 1, the frame 10 has a pair of legs 12, 14 extending in parallel from both sides of the base. A winding shaft 20 is supported by these legs 12 and 14, and one end of a webbing 23 mounted on an occupant is locked to the winding shaft 20.

One end of the winding shaft 20 in the longitudinal direction protrudes outside the leg portion 12, and the inner end of the mainspring 27 is locked to this protruding portion. The outer end of the mainspring 27 is locked to a spring cover 29 which is fixed to the leg 12 and accommodates the mainspring 27, whereby the winding shaft 20 is wound in the webbing winding direction by the biasing force of the mainspring 27. The webbing 23 is urged and rotated (in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1) to wind up the webbing 23 in a layered manner.

The other end of the winding shaft 20 protrudes outside the leg portion 14, and a forked portion 20A is formed at this protruding portion.
A pair of lock plates 2 constituting a part of the lock means around the forked portion 20A as shown in FIGS.
4, 25 are arranged. These lock plates 2
Reference numerals 4 and 25 each have a substantially C-shape in which a substantially U-shaped notch 26 is formed in the center, and a forked portion 20A is located in the notch 26. As shown in FIG. 2, the notch 26 has a width dimension (length in the vertical direction in FIG. 2) slightly larger than the width dimension (length in the vertical direction in FIG. 2) of the forked portion 20 </ b> A. Is winding shaft 2
It can be rotated relative to 0 by a predetermined angle.

Claws 28, 30 are formed at one end of the lock plates 24, 25, respectively, and are fixed to the legs 14 to form an internal gear wheel 32 which forms lock means together with the lock plates 24, 25. Facing the internal teeth.

Further, a pair of pins 34, 36 project from the lock plates 24, 25, respectively, and are inserted into elongated holes 40 formed in the lock wheel 438. The lock wheel 438 is rotatably supported by a small-diameter shaft portion 20 </ b> B protruding from the shaft center of the winding shaft 20, and is relatively rotatable with the winding shaft 20.

As shown in FIG. 1, a disk-shaped rotor 440 is disposed in a direction opposite to the leg 14 of the lock wheel 438 which is supported by the small-diameter shaft 20B of the winding shaft 20. .

As shown in FIG. 4, a boss 442 protrudes from the axis of the rotor 440. This boss 44
2, a projection 442A is formed.
Reference numeral 42A is fitted into the small-diameter shaft portion 20B of the winding shaft 20. Thus, the rotor 440 is connected to the winding shaft 20 and is rotated integrally with the winding shaft 20.

A torsion coil spring 44 is provided between the lock wheel 438 and the rotor 440. The coil portion of the torsion coil spring 44 is externally fitted to the boss 438A of the lock wheel 438, and one end is locked to the lock wheel 438 and the other end is locked to the rotor 440, respectively. Thus, the lock wheel 438 is urged and rotated in the webbing pull-out direction (the direction of arrow B) by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 44.

Accordingly, the lock wheel 438 is pressed by the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 44 as shown in FIG.
4 and 25 pins 34 and 36 are accommodated in one end of the elongated hole 40 to separate the claw portions 28 and 30 from the internal gear wheel 32. Further, in this state, the lock wheel 438 is
When a rotation delay occurs with respect to the rotation of the webbing in the pulling-out direction, the lock plates 24 and 25 are engaged with the internal gear wheel 32 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, an elongate male screw 444 is formed on the shaft center of the rotor 440 in a direction opposite to the leg 14.
Are protruding. The male screw 444 has the rotor 4
Disc-shaped screw plate 446 having substantially the same diameter as 40
Is supported. A screw hole 448 is formed in the axial center of the screw plate 446 so that the male screw 444 is formed.
Is screwed.

A rectangular cutout 446A is formed on the outer periphery of the screw plate 446. The rectangular plate-shaped rib 456 fixed inside the sensor cover 454 enters the cutout 446A, so that the screw plate 446 is prevented from rotating.

The rotor 440 has a pair of through holes 450 formed in the axial direction with the male screw 444 interposed therebetween. Lock pins 460 are inserted into the through holes 450, respectively. A compression coil spring 462 is wound around a shaft 460A of the lock pin 460.

As shown in FIG. 4, one end of the compression coil spring 462 abuts against the rotor 440, and the other end abuts the head 460B of the lock pin 460, and pushes the lock pin 460 toward the opposite leg (rightward in FIG. 4). ).

The tip of the lock pin 460 is inserted into a pair of pin insertion holes 439 formed in the lock ring 438. Therefore, the lock pin 46
By inserting 0 into the pin insertion hole 439 of the lock wheel 438, the rotor 440 and the lock wheel 438 are connected, and the rotor 440 and the lock wheel 438 are integrally rotated.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

In the webbing take-up device of the present embodiment configured as described above, the frame 10 is attached to the vehicle body via bolts. When this winding device is used in a three-point seat belt device of a continuous webbing type, the webbing 23 pulled out from the winding shaft 20 is locked at the end to the vehicle body via an anchor member, and The portion is folded back by a slip joint fixed to the vehicle body, and a tongue plate is slidably mounted in a longitudinal direction at an intermediate portion between the anchor member and the slip joint. Then, the occupant seated on the seat takes up the webbing 23 on the winding shaft 2.
By pulling out the tongue plate from 0 and engaging the tongue plate with a buckle device attached to the vehicle body, the occupant is in a webbing mounted state.

When the occupant gets off the vehicle, first, the engagement between the tongue plate and the buckle device is released. This allows
The winding shaft 20 is rotated in the webbing winding direction (the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 1) by the urging force of the mainspring spring 27, and the webbing 23 is rotated.
Is wound on a winding shaft 20. With the rotation of the winding shaft 20 in the webbing winding direction, the rotor 440 also rotates in the webbing winding direction (the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 1).

By the rotation of the rotor 440, the screw plate 446 is guided by the rib 456 and the leg 14
Move linearly in the direction. This makes the lock pin 4
60 is pressed by the screw plate 446, and moves in the direction of the leg 14 against the urging force of the compression coil spring 462 to move the pin insertion hole 43 formed in the lock wheel 438.
Insert into 9. As a result, since the lock wheel 438 is connected to the rotor 440 via the lock pin 460, the winding shaft 20 and the lock wheel 438 rotate integrally.

Therefore, the lock wheel 438 and the winding shaft 20 cannot rotate relative to each other, and the lock wheel 438 does not cause a rotation delay with respect to the winding shaft 20. As a result, the lock plate 2
4 and 25 do not mesh with the internal gear wheel 32. Therefore, when the webbing 23 is mounted from the fully wound state of the webbing 23, the webbing 23 can be easily pulled out only by pulling the webbing 23.

When the occupant pulls out the webbing 23 to mount the webbing 23, the take-up shaft 20 and the rotor 340 are pulled out.
Rotates in the webbing pull-out direction (the direction of arrow B in FIG. 1).
For this reason, the screw plate 446 is guided by the rib 456 and linearly moves in the direction opposite to the leg portion 14, so that the pressing of the screw plate 446 against the lock pin 460 is released. Thereby, the lock pin 460
Is the lock wheel 438 by the urging force of the compression coil spring 462.
From the pin insertion hole 439. Therefore, the lock wheel 4
38 and the winding shaft 20 can be rotated relative to each other.

The webbing 2 thus drawn out
3, when the vehicle falls into a sharply decelerating state while the webbing 23 is being wound in accordance with the change in the posture of the occupant, the lock wheel 438 is caused by the inertia force of the lock wheel 438. And the winding shaft 20 have a relative rotation.

As shown in FIG. 3, the lock plates 24 and 25, which rotate together with the winding shaft 20 by this relative rotation, have the pins 34 and 36 guided by the long holes 40 of the lock ring 438, and the claw portions 28 and 30 The rotation of the winding shaft 20 in the webbing pull-out direction is prevented by meshing with the internal gear wheel 32.

As a result, the occupant is reliably restrained by the webbing 23. Moreover, since the lock wheel 438 and the winding shaft 20 are already in a rotatable state when the occupant wears the webbing, the webbing 23 can be instantaneously prevented from being pulled out.

In order to insert the lock pin 460 into the pin insertion hole 439 of the lock wheel 438 in the above embodiment, the rotation speed of the winding shaft 20 in the webbing winding direction is, for example, a child (6 years old). It is conceivable to set the rotation speed of the webbing 23 to a length at which the webbing 23 cannot be mounted.

Further, an acceleration sensor for detecting sudden deceleration of the vehicle is provided in the above-described embodiment, and a pole (not shown) is locked to the ratchet teeth of the lock wheel 438 by operating the acceleration sensor, and the lock wheel 438 is attached to the winding shaft 20. Needless to say, a mechanism for causing a rotation delay may be provided.

A reference example relating to the above embodiment will be described below. First Reference Example FIGS. 6 to 9 show a webbing take-up device according to a first reference example. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the basically same components as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the small-diameter shaft portion 2 of the winding shaft 20
A lock wheel 38 is pivotally supported by OB, and is rotatable relative to the winding shaft 20.

A cam 52 is supported at the tip of the small diameter shaft portion 20B. A torsion coil spring 44 is provided between the lock wheel 38 and the cam 52. The coil portion of the torsion coil spring 44 is externally fitted to the boss 38A of the locking wheel 38, and one end is locked to the locking wheel 38 and the other end is locked to the cam 52, respectively. As a result, the locking wheel 38 is urged and rotated in the webbing pull-out direction (the direction of arrow B) by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 44.

A through hole 52B is formed in the axial center of the disc portion 52A of the cam 52, and the tip of the small diameter shaft portion 20B is inserted into the through hole 52B. An engagement projection 52C is provided on the disc portion 52A so as to project in the radial direction. The engaging projection 52C is disposed so as to be located between the convex portion 62A and the convex portion 62B formed on the inner peripheral wall of the concave portion 38B of the locking wheel 38. Further, the disk portion 52 of the cam 52
A is formed with a substantially C-shaped arc groove 53.

The locking plates 24, 25 of the cam 52
In the opposite direction, a disk-shaped spiral plate 70 is fixed to the winding shaft 20 and rotates with the winding shaft 20. A return spring 74 is disposed between the spiral plate 70 and the rocking wheel 38 as an urging means to move the cam 52 in the webbing winding direction (direction of arrow A).
It is energizing.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the cam 52 rotates the locking wheel 38 in the webbing winding direction. In this case, the rotation of the lock wheel 38 is, as shown in FIG. 2, until the lock plates 24, 24 hit the forked portion 20A. Therefore, in this state, the locking wheel 38
When a rotation delay occurs with respect to the rotation of the winding shaft 20 in the webbing withdrawing direction, as shown in FIG.
4 and 25 mesh with the internal gear wheel 32.

At the center of the spiral plate 70, bosses 71A and 71B are provided to project in the axial direction. The boss 71B is inserted into a boss receiving hole 56 provided inside the sensor cover 54 and is rotatably supported. The tip of the boss 71A is fitted into the small diameter shaft portion 20B of the winding shaft 20 and is connected to the winding shaft 20. For this reason, the spiral plate 70 is configured to rotate integrally with the winding shaft 20. A spiral groove 72 is formed in the spiral plate 70 so as to center on the boss portions 71A and 71B.

As shown in FIG. 7, the spiral plate 70
Is arranged such that the vicinity of one end 72A of the spiral groove 72 is slightly shifted from the arc groove 53 formed on the cam 52 with respect to the cam 52 in which the engaging projection 52C is in contact with the projection 62A. ing. However, as shown in FIG. 9, the spiral groove 72 matches the arc groove 53 when the engaging projection 52C comes into contact with the projection 62B.

As shown in FIG. 6, a guide pin 78 projecting from one end of a long elongated lever 76 is inserted into the spiral groove 72 and the arc groove 53. The diameter of the guide pin 78 is slightly smaller than the groove width of the spiral groove 72 and the arc groove 53. A circular hole 80 is formed at the other end of the long lever 76, and a support pin 82 projecting inside the sensor cover 54 is inserted into the circular hole 80. As a result, the long lever 76 is connected to the support pin 8.
2 can be swung.

Therefore, when the guide pin 78 of the long lever 76 advances to the vicinity of one end 72A of the spiral groove 72 by the rotation of the spiral plate 70 in the webbing winding direction, the long lever 76 swings clockwise in FIG. Move. And
When the webbing 23 is wound on the winding shaft 20 until the webbing 23 is almost fully wound, the guide pin 78 is moved to one end 72 of the spiral groove 72.
You will be guided near A. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the cam 52 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the circular arc groove 53 of the cam 52.
Is moved in the clockwise direction. When the engaging projection 52C comes into contact with the projection 62B, the locking wheel 38 and the winding shaft 20 do not rotate relative to each other.

On the other hand, rotation of the spiral plate 70 in the webbing pull-out direction causes one end 72A of the spiral groove 72 to rotate.
The guide pin 7 of the long lever 76 located near
Reference numeral 8 is located in the middle of the spiral groove 72. Therefore, the cam 52 is urged by the return spring 74, and the engaging projection 52C of the cam 52 is separated from the projection 62B of the locking wheel 38, comes into contact with the projection 62A, and stops. As a result, the lock wheel 38 and the winding shaft 20 can be relatively rotated.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described.

When the occupant gets off the vehicle, first, the engagement between the tongue plate and the buckle device is released. This allows
The winding shaft 20 is rotated in the webbing winding direction by the urging force of the mainspring spring 27, and the webbing 23 is wound on the winding shaft 20. At this time, the spiral plate 70 rotates integrally with the winding shaft 20 in the webbing winding direction. For this reason, the guide pin 78 of the long lever 76 is guided by the spiral groove 72 and is located near the one end 72A from the middle part of the spiral groove 72. When the webbing 23 is almost fully wound, the guide pin 78 also comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the circular arc groove 53 of the cam 52. As a result, the cam 52 is pressed by the guide pin 78, and the cam 52 rotates clockwise against the urging force of the return spring 74. As a result, the engagement projection 52C of the cam 52 comes into contact with the projection 62B of the locking wheel 38.

Therefore, the locking wheel 38 and the winding shaft 20 cannot rotate relative to each other, and the locking wheel 38 does not cause a rotation delay with respect to the winding shaft 20. As a result, the lock plates 24, 2
Since the webbing 5 does not mesh with the internal gear wheel 32, the webbing 23 can be easily pulled out only by pulling the webbing 23 when the webbing 23 is mounted.

When the occupant mounts the webbing 23, the webbing 23 is pulled and the winding shaft 20 and the spiral plate 70 rotate in the webbing pull-out direction. Therefore, the guide pin 78 of the long lever 76 is connected to one end 72 of the spiral groove 72.
When the cam 52 moves from the vicinity of A and the arc groove 53 toward the intermediate portion of the spiral groove 72, the cam 52 rotates counterclockwise by the urging force of the return spring 74. As a result, the engaging projection 52C of the cam 52 comes into contact with the projection 62A of the locking wheel 38.
Therefore, the lock wheel 38 and the winding shaft 20 can be relatively rotated.

The webbing 2 thus drawn out
If the vehicle is in a sharply decelerating state while the webbing 23 is being wound in accordance with a change in the posture of the occupant, the relative position between the rocking wheel 38 and the winding shaft 20 is increased. Rotation occurs.

As shown in FIG. 3, the pins 34, 36 of the lock plates 24, 25, which are rotated together with the winding shaft 20 by this relative rotation, are guided by the elongated holes 40 of the lock ring 38, and the claw portions 28, 30 The rotation of the winding shaft 20 in the webbing pull-out direction is prevented by meshing with the internal gear wheel 32.

As a result, the occupant is securely restrained by the webbing 23. In addition, when the occupant wears the webbing, the locking wheel 38 and the winding shaft 20 are already in a rotatable state, so that the webbing 23 can be instantly prevented from being pulled out. Second Embodiment FIGS. 10 to 12 show a webbing take-up device according to a second embodiment. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the basically same components as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 10, ratchet teeth 238A are formed on the outer peripheral surface of a locking wheel 238 that is supported by the small diameter shaft portion 20B of the winding shaft 20. Further, a spur gear 238B is formed coaxially with the ratchet teeth 238A and in a direction opposite to the legs 14. A stop plate 241 formed of a spur gear is disposed in a direction opposite to the legs 14 of the lock wheel 238. A circular hole 241A in which a key groove is formed is formed in the axial center portion of the stop plate 241 and the small-diameter shaft portion 20B is inserted, so that the stop plate 241 rotates integrally with the winding shaft 20.

Thus, the locking wheel 238 is urged and rotated in the webbing pull-out direction (the direction of the arrow B) by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 243.

Accordingly, the locking wheel 238 is driven by the urging force of the torsion coil spring 43 so that the pin 3 of the locking plates 24 and 25
4 and 36 are accommodated in one end of a long hole 40 of a lock wheel 238 to separate the claw portions 28 and 30 from the internal gear wheel 32.

The pitch of the spur gear 241B formed on the outer peripheral surface of the stopper plate 241 is
The pitch is set to the same pitch as the spur gear 238B formed in FIG. Also, the pitch circle diameter of the stopper plate 241 is set to be the same as the pitch circle diameter of the spur gear 238B of the locking wheel 238.

A cam plate 242 is disposed coaxially with the small diameter shaft portion 20 B of the winding shaft 20 in a direction opposite to the leg portion 14 of the stopper plate 241. On the outer peripheral surface of the cam plate 242, a protruding piece 244 having a constant length along the circumferential direction is provided so as to protrude in the radial direction.

Are in mesh with the pinion 250 and the internal teeth 246A, respectively. For this reason, the cam plate 242 is
The rotation of the take-up shaft 20 is transmitted at a reduced speed while being rotated in the direction opposite to zero.

Accordingly, the projection piece 244 is not moved until the winding shaft 20 rotates in the webbing winding direction from the state where the webbing 23 is pulled out in a large amount as in the state where the webbing is mounted and the webbing 23 is fully wound. It only moves clockwise from the position shown in FIG. 12 to the position shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 10, a support pin 256 protrudes from the leg 14 of the frame 10. An arm 260 as a locking means is pivotally supported by the support pin 256. The arm body 260 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and a pair of brackets 260B are formed at regular intervals at the tip of one of the rectangular protrusions 260A.

The stop gear 262 is connected to the lock wheel 2
When the lock wheel 238 and the stop plate 241 are engaged with each other, the lock wheel 238 and the stop plate 241 are connected to each other, so that the rotation of the lock wheel 238 with respect to the winding shaft 20 does not occur. On the contrary, if the stop gear 262 does not mesh with the spur gear 238B and the spur gear 241B, the lock wheel 238 and the stop plate 241 do not rotate integrally, and the lock wheel 238 causes a rotation delay with respect to the winding shaft 20. be able to.

The other protruding portion 260 C of the arm 260 extends in the direction opposite to the leg plate 14, and serves as a contact portion of the projection 244 of the cam plate 242. The tip of the protrusion 260C is formed in a substantially semicircular shape, and when the protrusion 244 abuts and presses, the arm 260
11 and 12 in the counterclockwise direction (the direction of arrow D in FIGS. 11 and 12).

As shown in FIG. 10, a torsion coil spring 264 is disposed between the leg portion 14 and the arm body 260 so as to be fitted over the support pin 256. One end of the torsion coil spring 264 is locked to the leg 14, and the other end is locked to the arm 260, so that the stop gear 262 is connected to the spur gear 238B and the stop plate 241.
In the direction away from (the direction of arrow C in FIG. 10).

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be described.

When the occupant gets off the vehicle, first, the engagement between the tongue plate and the buckle device is released. This allows
The winding shaft 20 is rotated in the webbing winding direction (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 10) by the urging force of the mainspring spring 27, and
3 is wound around a winding shaft 20. As the winding shaft 20 rotates in the webbing winding direction, the stopper plate 241 and the pinion 250 also move in the webbing winding direction (arrow A in FIG. 10).
Direction). By the rotation of the pinion 250, the cam plate 242 rotates at a low speed in the webbing pull-out direction (the direction of arrow B in FIG. 10) via the spur gear 254. Then, when the webbing 23 is close to the fully wound state, the protrusion 244 of the cam plate 242 comes into contact with the other protrusion 260 </ b> C of the arm 260. Therefore, the arm 260 is swung in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 11 (the direction of the arrow D in FIG. 11) against the urging force of the return spring 264. As a result, the stop gear 262 meshes with the spur gear 238B of the locking wheel 238 and the spur gear 241B of the stop plate 241.

Accordingly, since the rotation of the lock wheel 238 is not delayed with respect to the winding shaft 20, the winding shaft 20 and the lock wheel 238 do not rotate relative to each other. As a result, the lock plates 24 and 25 do not engage with the internal gear wheel 32. Therefore, the webbing 23 is removed from the fully wound state of the webbing 23.
The webbing 23 can be easily pulled out only by pulling the webbing 23 when mounting.

When the occupant mounts the webbing 23, the webbing 23 is pulled out and the take-up shaft 20 and the pinion 25 are pulled out.
0 rotates in the webbing pull-out direction (the direction of arrow B in FIG. 10). For this reason, the cam plate 24 via the spur gear 254
2 also rotates in the webbing take-up direction (counterclockwise direction in FIG. 11), so that the protrusions 24 of the cam plate 242 are rotated.
4 and the other protruding portion 260C of the arm body 260 are separated from each other. For this reason, the arm body 260 is turned clockwise in FIG. 12 (direction of arrow C in FIG. 12) by the urging force of the return spring 264.
It is urged to. As a result, the stop gear 262, the spur teeth 238B of the locking wheel 238, and the stop plate 2
The engagement of the 41 with the spur teeth 241B is released. Therefore, the lock wheel 238 and the winding shaft 20 can be relatively rotated.

The other operation is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, and the description is omitted. Third Embodiment FIGS. 13 to 15 show a webbing take-up device according to a third embodiment. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the basically same components as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description is omitted.

FIG. 13 is an exploded perspective view of the webbing take-up device. An adapter 384 is fixed to the leading end of the small diameter shaft portion 20B of the winding shaft 20. That is, the large-diameter portion 384A of the adapter 384 is externally fitted and fixed to the small-diameter shaft portion 20B.

The small-diameter portion 384B of the adapter 384 is fixed by fixing means (not shown) formed at the axis of the disk-shaped rotor 386. As a result, the rotor 386 is fixed to the winding shaft 20 via the adapter 384, and rotates integrally with the winding shaft 20.

A pair of block-shaped projections 388 and 388 are integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface of the concave portion 338B of the locking wheel 338 at regular intervals. Also, the rotor 38
A pair of block-shaped guides 390, 390 are also fixed to the surface on the side opposite to the leg plate 14 with the same dimension as the space between the projections 388, 388.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the diameter dimension of the rotor 386 is the same as that of the recess 338 of the locking wheel 338.
B is smaller than the diameter of B, so that the rotor 386 is accommodated in the recess 338B. When the rotor 386 is accommodated in the recess 338B, the protrusions 388, 388 and the guides 390, 39
0 can be opposed to each other.

As shown in FIG. 13, a rectangular cam 394 is provided between the rotor 386 and the sensor cover 354. The cam 394 is provided between the guides 390 and 390 of the rotor 386 and the projection 3 of the locking wheel 338.
It can be moved between 88 and 388. This cam 39
A guide pin 396 protrudes from the surface of the fourth leg plate 14 on the side opposite to the leg plate 14. The guide pin 396 is inserted into a spiral groove 392 formed inside the sensor cover 354.

As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the guide pin 396 is moved from the vicinity of one end 392A in the longitudinal direction of the spiral groove 392 to the vicinity of the other end 392B.

The other structure is the same as that of the above embodiment.

Next, the operation of the third embodiment will be described.

When the occupant gets off the vehicle, first, the engagement between the tongue plate and the buckle device is released. This allows
The winding shaft 20 is rotated in the webbing winding direction by the urging force of the mainspring spring 27, and the webbing 23 is wound on the winding shaft 20. At this time, the rotor 86 rotates integrally with the winding shaft 20 in the webbing winding direction (the direction of arrow A in FIG. 14). For this reason, the guide pin 396 of the cam 394 is guided by the spiral groove 392 so that the guide pin 396 is moved from the vicinity of one end 392A of the spiral groove 392 in FIG.
Is guided in the direction of the other end 392B. Accordingly, the cam 394 is guided between the guides 390 and 390 of the rotor 386, and moves straight in the outer peripheral direction of the rotor 386.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, when the webbing 23 is almost fully wound, the protrusion 396 is located near the other end 392 B of the spiral groove 392, and the cam 394 is formed.
End enters between the projections 388, 388. In addition, since the cam 394 moves straight and enters between the projections 388 and 388, the cam 394 does not come into contact with the projections 388 and 388, and can reliably enter between the projections 388 and 388. .

Therefore, since the locking wheel 338 and the rotor 386 are connected via the cam 394, the locking wheel 338 and the winding shaft 20 cannot rotate relative to each other, and the rotation of the locking wheel 338 with respect to the winding shaft 20 is delayed. Do not cause. As a result, since the lock plates 24 and 25 do not mesh with the internal gear wheel 32, the webbing 23 can be easily pulled out only by pulling the webbing 23 when the webbing 23 is mounted.

When the occupant mounts the webbing 23, the webbing 23 is pulled out and the winding shaft 20 and the rotor 386 are pulled out.
Rotates in the webbing pull-out direction (the direction of arrow B in FIG. 15). For this reason, the guide pin 396 of the cam 394 is
2 and is moved in the direction of one end 392A of the spiral groove 392. This causes one end of the cam 394 to retreat from between the guides 388 and 388. Therefore, the lock wheel 33
8 and the rotor 386 are disconnected, so that the locking wheel 3
38 and the winding shaft 20 can be rotated relative to each other.

In this embodiment, the sensor cover 354
And a guide pin 396 of the cam 394.
However, instead of the spiral groove 392, a spiral rib may be formed on the sensor cover 354 to project and guide the guide pin 396.

The other operation is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, and will not be described.

The third embodiment eliminates the need for the return spring 74 (see FIG. 6) and the spiral plate 70 (see FIG. 6) used in the first embodiment, so that the number of parts can be reduced. Have. Fourth Embodiment FIGS. 16 to 18 show a webbing winding device according to a fourth embodiment. Note that the same reference numerals are used for the basically same components as those in the above-described embodiment, and the description is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 16, a circular rotor 640 is disposed in a direction opposite to the legs 14 of the locking wheel 638 supported by the small diameter shaft portion 20B of the winding shaft 20. A concave portion 640A is formed on a surface of the rotor 640 opposite to the leg portion 14. A through-hole 640B is formed in the axial center of the rotor 640, and the small-diameter shaft 20B of the winding shaft 20 is fitted into the through-hole 640B.
Reference numeral 40 is configured to rotate integrally with the winding shaft 20.

A disc-shaped cam 642 is provided in the direction opposite to the leg 14 of the rotor 640 so that the small-diameter shaft 20
B is pivotally supported. A concave portion 642A is formed on the surface of the cam 642 opposite to the leg portion 14, and the concave portion 62A is formed.
Internal teeth 642B are formed on the inner peripheral surface of 42A. A projection 644 protrudes from the cam 642 on the leg 14 side.

The projection 644 has a predetermined length along the circumferential direction of the cam 642. An inclined portion 644 </ b> A is formed at one circumferential end of the protrusion 644.

A spur gear 646 is provided in the recess 642A of the cam 642. The shaft portion 64 of the spur gear 646
6A is a through hole 64 formed in the axial center of the cam 642.
2C and is fixed to the small-diameter shaft portion 20B.
Thus, the spur gear 646 is also connected to the winding shaft 20 so as to be integrally rotated.

As shown in FIG. 17, a planetary gear 650 is provided between the spur gear 646 and the internal teeth 642B of the cam 642. This planetary gear 650 is attached to the sensor cover 6.
The shaft 52 is supported by a pin 654 (see FIG. 16) protruding from the inside of the shaft 52.

A cylindrical lock pin 658 is provided between the rotor 640 and the cam 642. A compression coil spring 660 is wound around the lock pin 658.

As shown in FIG. 18, one end of the compression coil spring 660 is in contact with the rotor 640, and the other end is in contact with a flange 658A formed on the lock pin 658. As a result, the lock pin 658 is
0 urges the leg 14 in the opposite direction (rightward in FIG. 18).

The locking pin 658 is inserted into a through hole 640C formed in the rotor 640, and
38 can be inserted into a pin insertion hole 638D.

Next, the operation of the fourth embodiment will be described.

When the occupant gets off the vehicle, first, the engagement between the tongue plate and the buckle device is released. This allows
The winding shaft 20 rotates in the webbing winding direction (the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 16) by the urging force of the mainspring spring 27, and
3 is wound around a winding shaft 20. With the rotation of the winding shaft 20 in the webbing winding direction, the spur gear 646 also rotates in the webbing winding direction (the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 17).

The rotation of the spur gear 646 causes the spur gear 64 to rotate.
The planetary gear 650 meshing with the gear 6 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. 17 (the arrow K direction in FIG. 17) to transmit the rotational force of the spur gear 646 to the cam 642, whereby the cam 642 rotates clockwise in FIG. Rotate in the direction.

For this reason, the inclined portion 644 of the projection 644
A comes into contact with the other end of the lock pin 658. As a result,
The lock pin 658 moves in the direction of the lock wheel 638 against the urging force of the compression coil spring 660, and the lock pin 658 is inserted into the pin insertion hole 638D of the lock wheel 638.
As a result, the locking wheel 638 is connected to the rotor 640 via the locking pin 658, so that the winding shaft 20 and the locking wheel 638 rotate integrally.

Therefore, since the rotation of the lock wheel 638 is not delayed with respect to the winding shaft 20, the winding shaft 20 and the lock wheel 638 do not rotate relative to each other. As a result, the lock plates 24 and 25 do not engage with the internal gear wheel 32. Therefore, the webbing 23 is removed from the fully wound state of the webbing 23.
The webbing 23 can be easily pulled out only by pulling the webbing 23 when mounting.

In order for the occupant to mount the webbing 23, the webbing 23 is pulled out and the winding shaft 20 and the spur gear 646 are pulled out.
Rotates in the webbing withdrawing direction (the direction of arrow B in FIG. 17). For this reason, the planetary gear 650 rotates in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. 17 (the direction of the arrow J in FIG. 17) and transmits the rotational force of the spur gear 646 to the cam 642.
7 Rotate counterclockwise.

Therefore, the lock pin 658 is moved from the cam 642
Since the inclined portions 644A of the projections 644 are separated from each other, the locking pin 658 comes out of the pin insertion hole 638D of the locking wheel 638 by the urging force of the compression coil spring 660.

As a result, the lock wheel 638 and the winding shaft 20 can be relatively rotated.

The other operation is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, and the description is omitted.

An acceleration sensor for detecting sudden deceleration of the vehicle is provided in each of the above reference examples, and the operation of the acceleration sensor causes a pole (not shown) to be engaged with the ratchet teeth of the locking wheel to rotate the locking wheel with respect to the winding shaft. Needless to say, a mechanism for causing a delay may be provided.

[0112]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, the rotation delay of the lock wheel with respect to the winding shaft is prevented only near the time of full winding of the webbing, so that the webbing can be easily pulled out from the time of full winding of the webbing. This has an excellent effect that the webbing can be instantaneously prevented from being pulled out when the vehicle suddenly decelerates during webbing winding during normal running of the vehicle.
