DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rod connecting device for a vehicle locking device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 1, a rod connecting device in a conventional vehicle locking device includes a rotating shaft a such as an output shaft, and a rotating lever formed by injection molding of a synthetic resin attached to the rotating shaft a. b, a mounting round hole c having a small diameter step formed at the tip of the rotary lever b, and a synthetic resin rod connecting tool d which is pushed into and mounted in the mounting round hole c. The tool d has a holding portion f for holding the rod e and an insertion portion h having a notch g so as to engage with the mounting round hole c.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned known example, the direction of the rod e and the direction of the holding portion f for holding the rod e are different and do not match, so that the rod e is held with one hand and the other hand is held. Since the work of adjusting the direction of the holding portion f by hand was required, the assembling was difficult and time-consuming.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a rotary lever 2 mounted on a rotary shaft 1, a mounting round hole 3 formed at the tip of the rotary lever 2, and a press into the mounting round hole 3. And a rod connecting member 5 made of synthetic resin, which is rotatably mounted on the rod connecting member 5.

And a connecting rod 5 made of synthetic resin which is inserted into the mounting round hole 3 by being pushed into the mounting round hole 3. The rod connecting part 5 has a holding portion 7 for holding the rod 6 and a connecting portion 7 for holding the rod 6. The holding portion 7 has an insertion portion 9 to be inserted into the mounting round hole 3, and a base portion of the insertion portion 9 is formed in a small diameter portion 10 that engages with the step portion 4. The insertion portion 9 has a notch 11 so as to pass through the step portion 4 and engage with the mounting hole 3. The holding portion 7 has a tapered portion so that the rod 6 can be inserted in a bifurcated shape. 12 and an engagement hole 13, and the lid 8 has a thin connecting cord 1 with respect to the holding portion 7.
4, the lid 8 is connected to the tapered portion 1
A rod pressing portion 15 which engages between the rods 2 and presses the rod 6; an engaging portion 17 which engages with key portions 16 and 16 formed outside the tapered portion 12 to prevent disengagement;
17, and the lid 8 has an engagement groove 18 that engages with a projection 19 protruding from the rotation lever 2 side.
In the open state before the cover is closed, the rotation lever 2
This is a rod connector in a vehicle lock device in which the engagement groove 18 on the lid 8 side engages with the projection 19 on the side to prevent rotation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a rotary shaft such as an output shaft (this can be implemented with a shaft other than the output shaft). Reference numeral 2 denotes a rotary lever such as an output lever attached to the rotary shaft 1, which is usually formed by injection molding of synthetic resin. I have. Reference numeral 3 denotes a round mounting hole formed in the rotary lever 2, which has a step portion 4 having a small diameter and a wide lower portion.
A rod connector 5 made of synthetic resin is pushed into the mounting round hole 3 and mounted. The rod connector 5 is formed of a holding portion 7 for holding the rod 6 and a cover 8 covering the holding portion 7. The holding portion 7 has an insertion portion 9 that is inserted into the mounting round hole 3, and a base portion of the insertion portion 9 is formed in a small diameter portion 10 that engages with the step portion 4. Has a slit 11 so as to pass through and engage with the mounting round hole 3. The holding portion 7 has a two-pronged shape, and has a tapered portion 12 and an engagement hole portion 13 so that the rod 6 can be inserted. The lid 8 is connected to the holding portion 7 by a thin connecting cord portion 14, and is formed on a rod holding portion 15 which engages with the tapered portion 12 to hold down the rod 6, and is formed outside the tapered portion 12. It has engaging portions 17 and 17 that engage with the hook portions 16 and 16.

[0006] Since the lid 8 is integrally connected to the holding portion 7 via the connecting cord portion 14, the lid 8 is constantly urged by the elasticity of the connecting cord portion 14 so as to be kept horizontal. The rotation lever 2 has a projection 19 protruding so as to be inserted into the engagement groove 18 of the lid 8. The engagement groove 18 of the lid 8 before engagement is inserted into the projection 19. ing. Reference numeral 20 denotes a set screw.

[0007]

Next, the operation will be described. The rotating lever 2 is attached to the rotating shaft 1 and fixed by tightening with the set screw 20. Then, the tip of the insertion portion 9 of the holding portion 7 of the rod connector 5 is applied to the mounting round hole 3 of the rotating lever 2, and when the insertion portion 9 is strongly pressed, the insertion portion 9 has a crevice 11, so that it is narrowed by the narrow step 4. It is inserted, and the small diameter portion 10 of the insertion portion 9 engages with the step portion 4 and is attached.
At this time, when the cover 8 of the rod connector 5 is turned in the horizontal direction so that the engagement groove 18 of the cover 8 matches the projection 19 of the rotary lever 2, the cover 8 is elastically The projection 19 of the rotary lever 2 is engaged with the engagement groove 18 of the lid 8 because of the horizontal state.
Does not rotate horizontally as a whole, and the direction of the tapered portion 12 is constant. If the direction of the tapered portion 12 becomes a fixed direction, the rod 6 can be engaged with the engagement hole portion 13 through the tapered portion 12 without any effort, and when the lid 8 is rotated and closed in this state, the lid 8 is pressed into the space between the tapered portions 12 to hold down the rod 6, and
The hook portions 16, 16 of the engaging portions 17, 17 are engaged to complete the mounting. In this state, the projections 19 are engaged with the engagement grooves 18.
Since it comes out more, the restriction is released and it becomes pivotable,
It acts as a rod.

[0008]

In the above-mentioned known example, since the direction of the rod e and the direction of the holding portion f for holding the rod e are different and do not match, the rod e is held with one hand and the rod is held with the other hand. Since the work of adjusting the direction of the part f was necessary, the assembling was difficult and time-consuming. However, according to the present invention, the rotating shaft 1
A rotary lever 2 attached to the rotary lever 2, a mounting round hole 3 formed at the tip of the rotary lever 2, and a synthetic resin rod connector 5 which is rotatably mounted by being pushed into the mounting round hole 3. The rod connector 5 has a holding portion 7 for fitting and holding the rod 6 and a lid 8 integrally connected to the holding portion 7 with a thin connecting cord portion 14. It has an engagement groove 18 that engages with a projection 19 protruding from the rotation lever 2 side, and in an open state before the lid 8 is closed, the projection 19 on the rotation lever 2 side is attached to the lid 8 side. Engagement groove 1
8 is a rod connector in a vehicle locking device in which the cover 8 is engaged so as to prevent rotation. When the cover 8 is open, the cover 8 is attached to the projection 19 on the rotation lever 2 side.
Since the engagement groove 18 on the side engages to prevent rotation, the engagement of the rod 6 can be facilitated.
