Description

  The present invention relates to a position confirmation device for a select lever that can reliably confirm the position of a select lever of a vehicle such as an automobile.

  Conventionally, various techniques for making a driver recognize the position of a select lever of an automobile or the like have been proposed.

  For example, when the select lever is operated to a specific position, an apparatus has been proposed that informs the driver of the current position of the select lever by pressing a switch provided on the select lever (Patent Document 1). ).

  Further, in order to prompt the driver to shift to the optimum gear when the vehicle is traveling, a device has been proposed that notifies the driver of the upshift point by vibrating the shift lever (Patent Document 2).

JP-A-9-20153 JP 2008-309184 A JP 2014-53087 A

  By the way, since the device of Patent Document 1 emits a sound based on the pressing of the switch, it cannot be confirmed by the sound unless the switch is pressed, and there is an engine sound and various other noises during traveling. In the vehicle, the position confirmation by voice may not be confirmed by the driver because the voice generated by the device is masked by other noise.

  In addition, since the device of Patent Document 2 is mainly for urging the driver to perform a shift operation by vibration in a vehicle with a manual transmission, it is difficult to apply it to confirming the position of the select lever in an automatic transmission.

  On the other hand, in an operation knob such as an automobile light switch, when the knob is at the auto light position, the movable member protrudes from the tip of the operation knob. When the knob is not at the auto light position, the movable member is at the tip of the operation knob. As a structure that does not protrude from the vehicle, there has been proposed a device that informs the driver of the auto light position of the operation knob in the sense of a finger (Patent Document 3).

  However, the apparatus of Patent Document 3 can only recognize whether or not the position of the operation knob is in the auto light position, and whether the position of the select lever is in the forward (drive) position, for example, or reverse (reverse). It is impossible to distinguish and recognize a plurality of positions as in

  The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-described conventional device, and it is possible to tell the driver whether the position of the select lever of the vehicle is in the forward (drive) position or the reverse (reverse) position.

Similarly, the first reverse interlocking rod switch 9a and the second reverse interlocking rod switch 9b are composed of one switch (reverse interlocking rod switch) having two input terminals and two output terminals. Even if the input terminal is connected to the battery 7, the other input terminal is connected to the unlock button-linked power switch 6, one output terminal is connected to the indicator lamp 21b, and the other output terminal is connected to the small motor 18b. good.

  In FIG. 5, reference numeral 15a denotes a forward diaphragm provided on the front side of the grip portion 2a of the select lever 1, and is loosely fitted in a square opening 2e provided on the front side of the grip portion 2a. (See FIG. 7).

  The forward vibration plate 15a is formed of a rectangular plate-like member having a slightly smaller area than the rectangular opening 2e, and is provided with retaining step portions 16 and 16 on both side surfaces on the back surface 17b side (see FIG. 6). ). A small forward motor 18a is fixed to the back surface 17b by a fixed angle 19 in contact. The small forward motor 18a has an eccentric weight attached to its rotating shaft, and is configured so that the motor 18a itself vibrates when rotated, and the vibration can be transmitted to the diaphragm 15a.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the advancing diaphragm 15a is mounted (freely fitted) from the inside of the grip portion 2a so that the surface 17a is located outside the opening 2e. It will be in a state where it is prevented from coming off. And it hold | maintains at the said opening 15a with the holding angles 20 and 20 provided in the both sides inside the said opening 2e.

  At this time, since a gap is provided between the holding angles 20 and 20 and the retaining step portions 16 and 16, when the forward small motor 18a rotates, the forward diaphragm 15a also vibrates, The vibration is configured such that it can be felt as a “front side” vibration of the gripping portion 2a in the palm of the driver's hand gripping the gripping portion 2a.

  Further, the small forward motor 18a is connected to the first forward interlocking rod switch 8a as described above. Accordingly, when the unlock button 4 is pressed and the select lever 1 is pulled forward to move to the “forward” position, the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned on and the first forward interlocking switch 8a is switched on. Since the ON state is established, power is supplied to the small motor 18a through the first forward interlocking switch 8a until the unlock button 4 is pressed and the select lever 1 is pulled forward. During this time, the forward small motor 18a rotates and the forward diaphragm 15a vibrates.

  Therefore, the driver who has operated the select lever 1 can feel in the palm of the hand that the “front side” of the grip portion 2a of the select lever 1 vibrates. Can be recognized as having moved to (position).

  When the movement of the select lever 1 to the “advance position” is completed and the driver releases his hand from the grip portion 2a, the select lever 1 is locked at the position, and the unlock button 4 is released by the return of the movable mechanism. Since it returns, the unlock button interlocking electric switch 6 is turned off. Therefore, since the power supply to the forward small motor 18a is stopped, the vibration of the forward diaphragm 15a is stopped in the locked state of the select lever 1 at the “forward” position.

  However, at the “advance position” of the select lever 1, when the driver grasps the grip portion 2a and slightly presses the unlock button 4 in the direction of arrow I (the select lever 1 does not move, the “advance position” ”), The unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned on, and power is supplied to the first forward interlocking switch 8a. Therefore, the forward small motor 18a is driven and the unlock button 4 is driven. While pressing, the forward diaphragm 15a on the “front side” of the grip portion 2a can be vibrated.

  As a result, the driver can recognize that the select lever 1 is in the “forward” position by vibrations applied to the palm at any time.

  In FIG. 5, reference numeral 15b denotes a retreat diaphragm provided on the rear side of the grip portion 2a of the select lever 1, and is provided in a rectangular opening 2f provided on the "rear side" of the grip portion 2a. ing.

  The configuration of the backward diaphragm 15b is the same as that of the forward diaphragm 15a shown in FIG. That is, the retreating diaphragm 15b is formed of a rectangular plate-like member having a slightly smaller area than the rectangular opening 2f, and the removal step portions 16 are provided on both side surfaces on the back surface 17b side. A small retraction motor 18b is fixed to the back surface 17b in contact with a fixed angle 19. By rotating the small motor 18b, the motor 18 itself vibrates, and the vibration can be transmitted to the retreating diaphragm 15b.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the retreating diaphragm 15b is mounted (freely fitted) from the inside of the gripping portion 2a in the opening 2f on the rear side of the gripping portion so that the surface 17a is located on the outside. The stepped portions 16 and 16 are in a state of being prevented from being detached. And it hold | maintains at the said opening 2f with the holding angles 20 and 20 provided in the both sides inside the said opening 2f.

  At this time, since a gap is provided between the holding angles 20 and 20 and the retaining step portions 16 and 16, when the retreating small motor 18b rotates, the retreating diaphragm 15b also vibrates, The vibration is configured so as to be felt by the palm of the hand holding the grip portion 2a.

  The small reverse motor 18b is connected to the first reverse interlocking switch 9a. Accordingly, when the unlock button 4 is pressed and the select lever 1 is pushed forward to move to the “retreat” position, the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned on and the first retracting interlocking switch 9a is switched on. Since the ON state is established, power is supplied to the small reversing motor 18b via the first reciprocating interlocking switch 9a until the unlock button 4 is pressed and the select lever 1 is pushed (moved) forward. Since it is supplied, the small motor 18b rotates during the above period, and the retreat diaphragm 15b vibrates.

  Therefore, the driver who operates the select lever 1 can feel with his palm that the “rear side” of the grip 2a of the select lever 1 vibrates, and the select lever 1 has moved to the retracted position. I can recognize that.

  When the movement of the select lever 1 to the “retracted position” is completed and the driver releases his hand from the grip portion 2a, the select lever 1 is locked at the position, and the unlock button 4 is released by the return of the movable mechanism. Since it returns, the unlock button interlocking electric switch 6 is turned off. Therefore, since the power supply to the small reverse motor 18b is stopped, the vibration of the reverse vibration plate 15b is stopped in the locked state of the select lever 1 at the “reverse position”.

  However, at the “retracted position” of the select lever 1, when the driver grips the grip portion 2a and presses only the unlock switch 4 slightly in the direction of the arrow I (the select lever 1 does not move, In the “position” state), the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned on and power is supplied to the first retracting interlocking switch 9a, so that the retracting small motor 18 is driven and the gripping part 2a The backward diaphragm 15b on the “rear side” can be vibrated.

  As a result, the driver can recognize that the select lever 1 is in the “retracted position” by the vibration received by the palm.

  The forward vibration plate 15a and the reverse vibration plate 15b are respectively provided with a flexible forward elastic portion and a backward elastic portion made of elastic plates such as rubber on the front side and the rear side of the grip portion 2a. The forward small motor 18a and the backward small motor 18b may be fixed to the back side of the forward elastic portion and the backward elastic portion, respectively.

  In FIG. 8, a forward indicator lamp 21a emitting blue light is fixed on a dashboard (driver's seat panel) 25 between the handle 26 and the windshield 27 as shown in FIG. The forward indicator lamp 21a is connected to the second forward interlocking switch 8b (see FIG. 9).

  Accordingly, when the unlock button 4 is pressed and the select lever 1 is pulled toward the “forward position”, the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 and the second forward interlocking switch 8b are turned on. Therefore, during the process of moving the select lever 1, the power from the battery 7 is supplied to the forward indicator lamp 21a and emits blue light.

  Further, when the select lever 1 is locked in the forward position and the driver releases the hand from the select lever 1, the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned off, and thus the forward indicator lamp 21a is turned off. However, since the forward indicator lamp 21a emits blue light during the process of moving the select lever 1 to the forward position, the driver can recognize that the select lever 1 is now moved to the forward position. it can.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the forward indicator lamp 21a is fixed at a position that enters the driver's field of view when the driver faces forward. Therefore, when the driver moves the select lever 1 to the “advance position”, the indicator light 21a that emits blue light enters the field of view when facing the front side, so that the driver does not have to look at the display plate 24 of the select lever. The position of the select lever 1 can be recognized.

  At this time, the adjacent red reverse indicator lamp 21b indicating the reverse position is not lit, and only the blue forward indicator lamp 21a is lit. Therefore, there is no mistake in forward and reverse.

  Further, when the driver select lever 6 is in the forward position (D), when the unlock button 4 is pressed a little to turn on the unlock button interlocking power switch 6, the forward indicator lamp 21a lights in blue. At any time, the position of the select lever 1 can be confirmed. Thus, while traveling, the forward indicator lamp 21a is turned off. However, the driver can always turn on the forward indicator lamp 21a by pressing the unlock button 4 a little to check the state of the select lever 1. it can.

  21b is a backward indicator lamp that emits red light, and is adjacent to the forward indicator lamp 21a on a dashboard (driver's seat panel) 25 between the handle 26 and the windshield 27 as shown in FIG. It is fixed. The indicator lamp 21b is connected to the second reverse interlocking switch 9b (see FIG. 9).

  Accordingly, when the unlock button 4 is pushed and the select lever 1 is moved forward to be positioned at the “retreat” position, the second reciprocal interlocking switch 9b is turned on regardless of whether the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned on or off. Therefore, the power from the battery 7 is supplied, and the backward indicator lamp 21b emits red light. At this time, since the forward indicator lamp 21a is turned off, the backward indicator lamp 21b can be reliably confirmed.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the reverse indicator lamp 21b is fixed at a position where the driver enters the field of view when the driver faces forward. Therefore, when the select lever 1 is in the “reverse” position, the driver enters the field of view with the indicator light 21b that is issued in red when the select lever 1 is facing forward. The position of the lever 1 can be recognized.

  Further, when the select lever 1 is locked at the reverse position (R), the reverse indicator lamp 21b is always lit regardless of whether the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned on or off. It can be confirmed with certainty that the lever 1 is in the retracted position.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, its operation will be described next.
When driving normally, the driver first pulls the select lever 1 forward and moves to the forward (D) position (position shown in FIG. 1C).

  At this time, the driver holds the grip portion 2a of the select lever 1 in the parking position or the neutral position with the left hand, presses the unlock button 4 with the thumb to release the lock of the select lever 1, and pulls it forward as it is. Move to the forward position (D) of 1 (c).

  In the forward movement position, the forward interlocking rod 10 moves in the direction of arrow G, and its one end 10a projects from the opening 2c on the front side of the grip 2a. Therefore, the driver recognizes that the one end portion 10a protrudes from the “front side” of the grip portion 2a, with a feeling of palm (feeling that the one end portion 10a hits a position closer to the front of the palm). By feeling it, it is possible to recognize that the select lever 1 is located at the forward movement position even when facing forward.

  When the unlock button 4 is pressed, the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned on, and the first forward interlocking switch 8a and the second forward interlocking switch 8b are moved by the movement of the forward interlocking rod 10. Turns on. Therefore, while the power is supplied from the battery 7 to the small forward motor 18a and the select lever 1 is moved, the "front side" forward diaphragm 15a of the grip portion 2a vibrates. Therefore, the driver senses the vibration of the forward diaphragm 15a on the “front side” of the grip portion 2a with the feeling of the palm (the feeling that the position closer to the front of the palm vibrates) Even when facing forward, it can be recognized that the select lever 1 is in the forward position.

  When the driver releases the select lever 1, the unlock button 4 returns in the direction of arrow C, and the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned off. Therefore, when the hand is released from the select lever 1, the power supply to the forward small motor 18a is stopped, and the vibration of the forward diaphragm 15a is stopped.

  However, when the driver grips the select lever 1 and slightly presses the unlock button 4 of the grip portion 2a in the direction of the arrow I to turn on the unlock button interlock power switch 6, the first forward interlock key switch Since 8a is in an on state, power is supplied to the forward small motor 18a via the interlocking rod switch 8a, and the "front side" forward diaphragm 15a can be vibrated.

  Accordingly, the driver always presses the unlock button 4 to vibrate the forward diaphragm 15a, so that the select lever 1 is positioned at the forward position while facing forward with a palm feeling. I can recognize that.

  Further, since the second forward interlocking rod switch 8b is on, the power of the battery 7 is supplied to the forward indicator lamp 21a during the movement of the select lever 1, and the indicator lamp 21a lights up in blue. Accordingly, the driver can recognize that the select lever 1 has moved to the forward position while facing forward.

  When the select lever 1 is moved to the forward movement position and the driver releases the select lever 1, the unlock button 4 returns in the direction of arrow C, and the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned off. Therefore, when the select lever 1 is released, the power supply to the forward indicator lamp 21a is stopped and the forward indicator lamp 21a is turned off, like the small forward motor 18a.

  However, when the driver grips the select lever 1 and presses the unlock button 4 of the grip portion 2a slightly in the direction of arrow I to turn on the unlock button interlock power switch 6, the second forward interlock switch Since 8b is in an on state, power is supplied to the forward indicator lamp 21a via the interlocking switch 8b, and the forward indicator lamp 21a can be lit in blue.

  Therefore, when the select lever 1 is in the forward position, the driver always presses the unlock button 4 so that the forward indicator lamp 21a is lit in blue, so that the select lever 1 remains in the forward position while facing forward. Can be recognized.

  In this way, the driver confirms that the select lever 1 is in the forward movement position by projecting the one end portion 10a of the interlocking rod 10 on the “front side” of the grip portion 2a and the diaphragm 15a on the “front side” of the grip portion 2a. By receiving the vibration as if it were “front side” of the palm, it is possible to reliably recognize that the select lever 1 is in the forward position while looking forward without looking at the display board 24.

  In addition, since the forward indicator lamp 21a on the dashboard lights up in blue, the driver can recognize that the select lever 1 is in the forward position while facing forward. The forward indicator lamp 21a is turned off during forward travel unless the unlock button 4 is pressed, so that the normal travel visual field is not hindered.

  Since the one end 10a of the interlocking rod 10 always protrudes when the select lever 1 is located at the forward movement position, even if it is in operation, the grip portion 2a of the select lever 1 is touched and the "front side" By confirming the one end portion 10a that protrudes toward the front, it can be confirmed at any time that the select lever 1 is in the forward movement position while facing forward.

The vibration of the advancing diaphragm 15a stops when the hand is released from the grip 2a. However, when the driver presses the unlock button 4 when the select lever 1 is in the forward position, the front of the grip 2a is moved forward. Since the forward diaphragm 15a on the “side” can be vibrated, the driver confirms that the select lever 1 is in the forward position at any time while pressing forward by pressing the unlock button 4. be able to.

  When the unlock button 4 is pressed when the select lever 1 is in the forward position, the forward indicator lamp 21a lights in blue, so that the driver can move forward without looking at the display plate 24 in the lower position. The position of the select lever 1 can be confirmed at any time during operation by looking at the indicator lamp 21a that is lit.

  In the case of backing, the driver pushes the select lever 1 forward and moves to the backward (R) position (position shown in FIG. 1A). At this time, the driver holds the grip portion 2a of the select lever 1 in the parking position or the neutral position, presses the unlock button 4 with the thumb to unlock the select lever 1, and pushes it forward as it is. ) To the reverse position (R).

  In the retreat position, the retreat interlocking rod 11 moves in the arrow G direction, and its one end 11a protrudes from the “rear side” opening 2d of the grip 2a. Therefore, the driver turns to the front based on the feeling of the palm that the one end portion 11a protrudes from the rear side of the grip portion 2a (feeling that the one end portion 11a hits a position closer to the rear of the palm). Even if it remains, it can be recognized that the select lever 1 is in the retracted position.

  When the unlock button 4 is pressed, the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned on, and the first reverse interlocking switch 9a and the second reverse interlocking switch 9b are moved by the movement of the reverse interlocking rod 11. Turn on. Therefore, while the power is supplied from the battery 7 to the small reversing motor 18b and the select lever 1 is moved, the “rear side” reversing diaphragm 15b of the grip portion 2a vibrates. Accordingly, the driver keeps the vibration of the backward diaphragm 15b on the “rear side” of the grip portion 2a facing forward based on the feeling of the palm (the feeling that the position near the back of the palm vibrates). Even if it exists, it can recognize that the select lever 1 is located in the retreat position.

  When the driver releases the select lever 1, the unlock button 4 returns in the direction of arrow C, and the unlock button interlocking power switch 6 is turned off. Therefore, when the hand is released from the select lever 1, the power supply to the small reverse motor 18b is stopped, and the vibration of the reverse diaphragm 15b is stopped.

  However, when the select lever 1 is in the retracted position, the driver grips the select lever 1 and slightly presses the unlock button 4 of the grip portion 2a in the direction of arrow I to turn on the unlock button interlocking power switch 6. Then, since the first reverse interlocking switch 9a is in the on state, power is supplied to the small reverse motor 18b via the interlocking switch 9a, and the "rear side" reverse diaphragm 15b can be vibrated. it can.

  Therefore, when the driver presses the unlock button 4, the “rear side” retreat diaphragm 15 b vibrates, so that the select lever 1 is positioned at the retreat position while facing forward or rear with the feeling of a palm. You can always check that

  Further, since the second reverse interlocking switch 9b is on, the power of the battery 7 is supplied to the reverse indicator lamp 21b, and when the select lever 1 is in the reverse position (R), the select lever Even when 1 is locked in the retracted position, the indicator lamp 21b is always lit red. Thus, the driver can recognize that the select lever 1 is in the retracted position while facing forward.

  In this way, the driver confirms that the select lever 1 is in the retracted position by projecting the one end portion 11a of the interlocking rod 11 on the “rear side” of the grip portion 2a, and the reverse diaphragm on the “rear side” of the grip portion 2a. By receiving the vibration of 15b with the sensation of the back side of the palm, it is possible to recognize that the select lever 1 is in the retracted position without looking at the display board 24 while facing forward.

  Moreover, since the reverse indicator lamp 21b on the dashboard is always lit red, the driver can recognize that the select lever 1 is in the reverse position while facing forward.

  Since the one end 11a of the interlocking rod 11 always protrudes when the select lever 1 is in the retracted position, even if it is in operation, the grip portion 2a of the select lever 1 is touched and "rear side" By confirming the one end portion 11a that protrudes toward the rear, it can be confirmed at any time that the select lever 1 is in the retracted position while facing forward or rearward.

  The vibration of the diaphragm 15b stops when the hand is released from the grip 2a. However, when the driver presses the unlock button 4 when the select lever 1 is in the retracted position, the "rear side" of the grip 2a. Thus, the driver can confirm that the select lever 1 is in the retracted position at any time while facing forward by pressing the unlock button 4. it can.

  In addition, when the select lever 1 is in the reverse position, the reverse indicator lamp 21b is always lit in red, so that the driver can view the indicator lamp 21b that illuminates forward without looking at the display panel. The position of the select lever 1 can be confirmed at any time during operation.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the select lever is moved to the forward movement position or the backward movement position, one end portion of the forward movement interlocking rod or the backward movement interlocking rod projects to the “front side” or “rear side” of the grip portion. Therefore, the driver can recognize that the select lever is in the “advance position” or the “retreat position” while facing forward with the feel of the palm. Therefore, the driver does not need to look at the display plate of the select lever on the lower side, and can perform the driving operation safely.

  When the select lever is moved to the forward position or the backward position, the forward interlock 杆 switch or the reverse interlock 杆 switch is turned on, so that the forward indicator lamp or the backward indicator installed at an intermediate position between the handle and the windshield. Therefore, the driver can easily recognize whether the select lever is in the forward position or the reverse position by looking at the indicator lights while facing forward.

  When the unlock button is pressed and the select lever is moved to the “forward position” or “reverse position”, the “front side” or “rear side” forward vibration part or the reverse vibration part of the gripper vibrates. Therefore, the driver can recognize that the select lever has been moved to the forward position or the backward position by the vibration on the “front side” or “rear side” of the grip portion. Therefore, the driver can surely recognize that the select lever has been moved to the “advance position” or “retreat position” by the vibration of the grip portion.

  As described above, in the present invention, in the gripping portion 2a, not only the palm feeling based on the protrusion of one end of the interlocking hook but also whether the select lever is in the forward position or the backward position due to the vibration of the gripping portion 2a. The driver can confirm the position of the select lever with two types of palm feel (protrusions and vibrations) while facing forward.

  In addition, by turning on the forward and reverse indicator lights, it is possible to inform the driver of the position of the select lever, eliminate mistakes in the operation of the select lever, and effectively prevent sudden start accidents, etc. It is.

  Further, a character such as “D” may be displayed on the forward indicator lamp 21a, and a character such as “R” may be displayed on the backward indicator lamp 21b.
