  In this state, as clearly shown in FIGS. 10A and 26, the third linkage member 82 has a coupling groove portion 86a in the long groove 64 of the coupling groove portion 86 and the second linkage member 58b constituting the engagement groove 85. And the connecting pin 94 of the connecting member 91 in the state of the first rotation position is located at the end edge. Accordingly, the second linkage member 58b and the third linkage member 82 are connected to each other by the connecting member 91 so as to be integrally rotatable. This connected state is maintained by the urging of the elastic piece 65 and the urging member 96 of the second linkage member 58b.

Next, an operation for changing from the unlocked state to the locked state will be described.
When the inner lock knob is locked, the mounting member 38 of the operating tool 39 operates in the direction of arrow 117 in FIG. 9, and the connecting portion 84b is operated in the direction of arrow 118 in FIGS. The linking member 82 is rotated to the position shown in FIG. 27 (the position of the one-dot chain line in FIG. 9).
As a result, the second linking member 58b integrally connected via the connecting member 91 is rotated together to the position shown in FIG. 27 (the position of the one-dot chain line L in FIG. 9).
Then, as described above, the U-shaped groove 31a engaged with the link protrusion 61b of the second link member 58b is interlocked with the position of the first link member 30 indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. A) is rotated to the position of the one-dot chain line L).

When the lock operation is performed by the remote control operation, as described above, the driving means 55 is first driven to rotate the worm wheel 70 in the direction of the arrow 121 in FIGS. As shown, the worm wheel 70 rotates approximately 90 degrees.
Then, in the cam portion 74 of the worm wheel 70, the engagement convex portion 62 of the second linkage member 58 b located on the outer peripheral portion side as shown in FIG. 26 is the first cam wall surface 75 constituting the cam portion 74. Is pressed inward. As a result, the connected second linkage member 58b and third linkage member 82 are integrally rotated in the direction of arrow 118, and are rotated to the position shown in FIG.
Thereby, the 2nd linkage member 58b integrally connected via the connection member 91 rotates to the position shown in FIG. 28 (position of the dashed-dotted line L of FIG. 8) together.

Thereby, similarly to the above, the second linking member 58b is interlocked with the first linking member 30 including the U-shaped groove 31a engaged with the linking convex portion 61b, and the position indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. It is rotated to (the one-dot chain line L position in FIG. 6A).
The worm wheel 70 is rotated approximately 90 degrees by the driving means 55, and is then rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring to return to the neutral position shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of changing from the unlocked state or the locked state to the super locked state will be described.
When the super lock operation is performed by the remote control operation, the driving means 55 rotates the worm wheel 70 in the direction of the arrow 121 in FIG. 26 via the worm gear 69, and the worm wheel 70 is approximately 180 degrees as shown in FIG. Turn to.
When the worm wheel 70 is rotated 180 degrees from the unlocked state to the super locked state, the first 90 degrees performs the above-described locking operation and the subsequent 90 degrees performs the super locking operation. Further, when changing from the locked state to the superlocked state, the first 90 degrees does not perform any operation, and the only difference is that the superlock operation is performed at the later 90 degrees.

When the worm wheel 70 rotates and reaches a portion of 90 degrees later, in the cam portion 74, the engagement convex portion 62 of the second linkage member 58b is brought into a non-interference state by the first arc wall surface 77, and the second linkage. There is no effect on the member 58b.
Then, when the rotation of the worm wheel 70 continues, the super lock operation portion 79 contacts the contact piece 95 of the connecting member 91, and the connecting member 91 rotates in the direction of the arrow 122 by the rotation of the worm wheel 70. . As a result, the connecting pin 94 of the connecting member 91 slides in the connecting groove 86 in the long groove 64 of the second connecting member 58b and the engaging groove 85 of the third connecting member 82, and in the non-connecting grooves 64b, 87. It is located at a certain second rotational position.

  The worm wheel 70 is rotated approximately 180 degrees by the driving means 55 and then rotated counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 98, returns to the neutral position shown in FIG. 30, and enters a super locked state.

In the super lock state shown in FIG. 30, when the inner lock knob is unlocked, the second linkage member 58b is not linked and only the third linkage member 82 is arrowed as shown in FIG. Rotate in 123 direction.
Further, the connecting member 91 is rotated toward the first rotating position by the biasing force of the biasing member 96 disposed on the third linkage member 82.

Thus, even if the inner lock knob is unlocked, the second linkage member 58b that links the first linkage member 30 does not rotate.
When the operation of the inner lock knob is stopped, the third linkage member 82 is held at that position. When the inner lock knob is locked, the third linkage member 82 rotates in the direction of the arrow 124. The connecting member 91 urged toward the first rotating position by the rotation of the third linking member 82 is pressed by the guide surface 87a of the non-connecting groove 87, and the second connecting again. It rotates to a rotation position and returns to the state of FIG.
The operation of unlocking the inner lock knob in the unlocked state will be described in detail later.

Next, an operation for changing from the super lock state to the unlock state will be described.
When the unlocking operation is performed by the remote control operation, the driving means 55 first rotates the worm wheel 70 through the worm gear 69 in the direction of the arrow 125 in FIGS. 30, 32, and 33, and as shown in FIG. The wheel 70 is rotated approximately 180 degrees.

Specifically, first, when the worm wheel 70 starts rotating from the neutral position, the unlocking operation unit 80 comes into contact with the contact piece 95 of the connecting member 91 as shown in FIG.
Then, the connecting member 91 is rotated in the direction of the arrow 126 by the rotation of the worm wheel 70 and becomes the first rotation position. Thereby, the 2nd linkage member 58b and the 3rd linkage member 82 are connected together again, and will be in the state of rotating coaxially in response to mutual rotation.

Subsequently, when the worm wheel 70 is rotated, the unlocking operation portion 80 passes over the protruding end of the contact portion of the connecting member 91, and the second cam wall surface 76 that constitutes the cam portion 74 is next moved as shown in FIG. It abuts on the engaging projection 62 of the second linking member 58b. The engaging portion of the second linkage member 58 b is pressed outward by the second cam wall surface 76.
As a result, the connected second linkage member 58b and the third linkage member 82 are integrally rotated in the arrow 127 direction. When the worm wheel 70 is rotated by approximately 180 degrees, the second linkage member 58b is rotated to the position shown in FIG. 34 (the position indicated by the one-dot chain line UL in FIG. 8).
Then, the second linking member 58b is interlocked with the first linking member 30 including the U-shaped groove 31a engaged with the linking protrusion 61b, and the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 8 as described above (FIG. 6). (A) It is rotated to the alternate long and short dash line UL position) to reach the unlock position.
The worm wheel 70 is rotated approximately 180 degrees by the driving means 55 and then rotated clockwise by the urging force of the spring 98, returns to the neutral position shown in FIG. 26, and becomes unlocked.

  Further, in the super lock state, as shown in FIG. 31, when the inner lock knob is unlocked for some reason, and in this state, as shown in FIG. Similarly, the driving means 55 rotates the worm wheel 70 through the worm gear 69 approximately 180 degrees in the direction of the arrow 125 in FIG.

At this time, the connecting member 91 is biased toward the first rotation position by the rotation of the third linkage member 82 as described above. Therefore, the unlocking operation portion 80 of the worm wheel 70 does not come into contact with the contact portion of the connecting member 91 but passes as it is.
Then, when the worm wheel 70 continues to rotate, the second cam wall surface 76 constituting the cam portion 74 comes into contact with the engagement convex portion 62 of the second linkage member 58b. As a result, the engaging portion of the second linkage member 58b is pressed outward by the second cam wall surface 76, and rotates in the direction of the arrow 127.
Further, the connecting member 91 that is axially attached according to the rotation of the second linking member 58 b causes the urging member 96 to follow the guide surface 87 a of the non-connecting groove 87 that forms the engaging groove 85 of the third linking member 82. It rotates in the direction of arrow 128 against the urging force.

  Then, when the long groove 64 coincides with the connecting groove portion 86 of the engaging groove 85 of the third linkage member 82 by the rotation of the second linkage member 58 b, the connecting member 91 is engaged by the biasing force of the biasing member 96. The groove 85 is engaged with the end edge of the connecting groove 86 and the connecting groove 64 a of the long groove 64. As a result, the second linkage member 58b and the third linkage member 82 are connected together again.

When the worm wheel 70 is rotated by approximately 180 degrees, the second linkage member 58b is interlocked with the first linkage member 30 including the U-shaped groove 31a engaged with the linkage projection 61b as described above. Thus, it rotates to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. 9 (the one-dot chain line UL position in FIG. 6A) and reaches the unlock position.
Further, the worm wheel 70 is rotated approximately 180 degrees by the driving means 55, and is then rotated clockwise by the urging force of the spring 98 to return to the neutral position shown in FIG.
In the above embodiment, the connecting member 91 that is a connecting member is rotatably disposed on the second connecting member 58b that is the first rotating member, but the third connecting member 82 that is the second rotating member. It may be arranged so as to be pivotable on this side, and various modifications are possible.

In addition, the super-lock actuator 50b is prepared.
The actuator 50b is connected to the housing 11 in a state where the driving means 55, the second linkage member 58, the second link 4, the third linkage member 82, and the linkage member 5 maintain the linkage described above. A first case 51b is provided that can be attached to the separate storage compartment 20 described above.

In the mounting operation of the housing 11 and the actuator 50a or the actuator 50b, the first case 51a or the first case 51b is mounted in the storage compartment 20 provided in advance on the substrate 12a of the housing 11.
As the mounting means, the actuator 50a or the actuator 50b can be selectively mounted on the housing 11 or the actuator 50a or the actuator 50b can be detached from the housing 11 after mounting to enable replacement mounting. Good.

In the state where the first case 51a or the second case 51b is mounted in the storage compartment 20, as described above, the operation of each driving means 55 of the first case 51a or the second case 51b causes the above engagement. The engagement state between the latch 26 and the striker by the stop member 27 can be maintained or released, and the second interlocking member 58 is operated by a manual operation attached to the attachment place 23. The engagement state between the latch 26 and the striker by the locking member 27 can be maintained or released via the two linkage members 58, and when the second case 51b is selectively attached, the linkage member 5 is By blocking, the transmission of the third linkage member 82 and the second linkage member 58 is lost, and the operation from the operation tool is not transmitted to the locking member 27.

  When there is an order for a door lock device for a car with a power lock function or a door lock device for a car with a super lock function, in a production line for assembling the actuator 50 to the door lock body 10, If the actuator 50a and the super-lock actuator 50b are selectively replaced to manufacture an automotive door lock device, the automotive door lock device can be provided in response to an order.
