図１には、本発明の操舵装置が適用されて構成された実施の形態に係る操作部材としてのステアリングホイール１０が車両後側から見た正面図にて示されており、図２には、ステアリングホイール１０の主要部が車両後側から見た正面図にて示されている。   FIG. 1 is a front view of a steering wheel 10 as an operation member according to an embodiment configured by applying the steering device of the present invention, as viewed from the rear side of the vehicle. A main part of the steering wheel 10 is shown in a front view as seen from the rear side of the vehicle.

本実施の形態に係るステアリングホイール１０には、中央部としてのボス部１２が設けられており、ボス部１２は、ステアリングホイール１０の正面視中央部分に配置されている。ボス部１２には、操作軸としての円軸状のステアリングシャフト１４の車両後側端（上端）が固定されており、ステアリングホイール１０はステアリングシャフト１４を中心軸としてステアリングシャフト１４と一体に回転可能にされている。   The steering wheel 10 according to the present embodiment is provided with a boss portion 12 as a central portion, and the boss portion 12 is disposed at a central portion in front view of the steering wheel 10. The rear end (upper end) of a circular steering shaft 14 as an operation shaft is fixed to the boss portion 12, and the steering wheel 10 can rotate integrally with the steering shaft 14 with the steering shaft 14 as a central axis. Has been.

ボス部１２には、接続部としての所定数（本実施の形態では３つ）のスポーク部１６の基端が固定されており、スポーク部１６は、ボス部１２からステアリングホイール１０の径方向外側へ延伸されると共に、ボス部１２と一体に回転可能にされている。   A base end of a predetermined number (three in the present embodiment) of spoke portions 16 as connection portions is fixed to the boss portion 12, and the spoke portion 16 is radially outward of the steering wheel 10 from the boss portion 12. And can be rotated integrally with the boss portion 12.

所定数のスポーク部１６の先端には、把持部（外周部）としての円環状のリム部１８が固定されており、リム部１８は、ステアリングホイール１０の周方向（リム部１８の長手方向）に沿って配置されて中心軸がステアリングシャフト１４の中心軸と一致されると共に、ボス部１２及び所定数のスポーク部１６と一体に回転可能にされている。リム部１８は、操舵対象としての車両の乗員（運転手）の手が把持可能にされており、リム部１８を乗員の手が把持した状態で、ステアリングホイール１０が図１の矢印Ａの方向又は図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ回転操作されることで、ステアリングシャフト１４が回転されて、車両がそれぞれ右側又は左側へ操舵される。   An annular rim portion 18 as a grip portion (outer peripheral portion) is fixed to the tip of the predetermined number of spoke portions 16, and the rim portion 18 is in the circumferential direction of the steering wheel 10 (longitudinal direction of the rim portion 18). The central axis of the steering shaft 14 coincides with the central axis of the steering shaft 14, and the boss portion 12 and the predetermined number of spoke portions 16 are rotatable together. The rim portion 18 can be gripped by the hand of a vehicle occupant (driver) as a steering target, and the steering wheel 10 is in the direction of arrow A in FIG. Alternatively, the steering shaft 14 is rotated by being rotated in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 1, and the vehicle is steered to the right side or the left side, respectively.

リム部１８には、外周部材としてのウレタン製又は木製等で略円柱状のステアリング材２０（ステアリング基材）が複数設けられており、複数のステアリング材２０は、ステアリングホイール１０の周方向全体に亘って等間隔に配置されている。   The rim portion 18 is provided with a plurality of substantially cylindrical steering materials 20 (steering base materials) made of urethane or wood as an outer peripheral member, and the plurality of steering materials 20 are disposed on the entire circumferential direction of the steering wheel 10. They are arranged at equal intervals.

ステアリング材２０の内部には、刺激手段を構成する駆動手段としてのモータ２２が固定されており、モータ２２の出力軸２２Ａは、当該ステアリング材２０のステアリングホイール１０周方向一側から回転可能にされた状態で突出すると共に、当該ステアリング材２０のステアリングホイール１０周方向一側におけるステアリング材２０の内部にステアリングホイール１０周方向他側から離脱不能かつ回転可能に挿入（嵌入）されている。   A motor 22 as a driving unit constituting a stimulation unit is fixed inside the steering member 20, and an output shaft 22 </ b> A of the motor 22 is rotatable from one side in the circumferential direction of the steering wheel 10 of the steering member 20. The steering member 20 is inserted (inserted) into the steering member 20 on one side in the circumferential direction of the steering wheel 20 so as not to be disengageable and rotatable from the other side in the circumferential direction of the steering wheel 10.

モータ２２の出力軸２２Ａは、刺激手段を構成する刺激部材としての円柱状の接触材２４の中心に貫通されており、接触材２４は、モータ２２の出力軸２２Ａに固定されて、モータ２２の出力軸２２Ａと一体に回転可能にされている。接触材２４は、周面がステアリング材２０の周面と面一にされると共に、好ましくはステアリング材２０とステアリング材２０との間に隙間なく挟まれている。接触材２４は、例えば密閉された袋体又は弾性体にされており、接触材２４は、モータ２２が駆動されてモータ２２の出力軸２２Ａと一体に回転されることで、遠心力によって径方向外側へ膨張されて（作動されて）、ステアリング材２０の周面位置よりも径方向外側へ突出可能にされている。これにより、接触材２４が、リム部１８を把持する乗員の手に刺激（振動）を付与可能にされている。また、モータ２２が停止されて、モータ２２の出力軸２２Ａと一体の接触材２４の回転が停止された際には、接触材２４の径方向外側への膨張が解除されて、接触材２４の周面がステアリング材２０の周面と面一にされた状態に復帰される。   The output shaft 22 </ b> A of the motor 22 is penetrated through the center of a cylindrical contact member 24 as a stimulating member constituting the stimulating means. The contact member 24 is fixed to the output shaft 22 </ b> A of the motor 22 and The output shaft 22A and the output shaft 22A are rotatable. The contact member 24 has a peripheral surface flush with the peripheral surface of the steering member 20 and is preferably sandwiched between the steering member 20 and the steering member 20 without a gap. The contact material 24 is, for example, a sealed bag or an elastic body. The contact material 24 is driven by the motor 22 and rotated integrally with the output shaft 22 </ b> A of the motor 22, so that the contact material 24 is radial by centrifugal force. It is expanded outward (actuated), and can project outward in the radial direction from the circumferential surface position of the steering member 20. As a result, the contact member 24 can apply a stimulus (vibration) to the hand of the occupant holding the rim portion 18. Further, when the motor 22 is stopped and the rotation of the contact member 24 integral with the output shaft 22A of the motor 22 is stopped, the expansion of the contact member 24 radially outward is released, and the contact member 24 The peripheral surface is returned to a state where it is flush with the peripheral surface of the steering member 20.

複数のモータ２２は、それぞれ変更手段（制御手段）としての制御ＥＣＵ２６に接続されており、制御ＥＣＵ２６は、モータ２２の駆動及び停止を制御する。制御ＥＣＵ２６は、検出手段としてのミリ波レーダ２８に接続されており、ミリ波レーダ２８は、車両の前方（後方又は側方でもよい）における障害物の位置（車両と障害物との距離及び車両に対する障害物の方向）等の車両周辺情報を検出可能にされている。制御ＥＣＵ２６は、ミリ波レーダ２８が検出した車両周辺情報及び車両の速度等に基づき、特に車両の障害物との衝突を回避するために、車両を右側又は左側へ操舵する必要があることを判断可能にされている。   The plurality of motors 22 are respectively connected to a control ECU 26 serving as changing means (control means), and the control ECU 26 controls driving and stopping of the motor 22. The control ECU 26 is connected to a millimeter wave radar 28 as detection means, and the millimeter wave radar 28 is positioned in front of the vehicle (may be rearward or sideward) (the distance between the vehicle and the obstacle and the vehicle). The vehicle surrounding information such as the direction of the obstacle with respect to the vehicle can be detected. The control ECU 26 determines that it is necessary to steer the vehicle to the right side or the left side in order to avoid a collision with an obstacle of the vehicle based on the vehicle periphery information detected by the millimeter wave radar 28, the vehicle speed, and the like. Has been made possible.

車両を右側へ操舵する必要があると制御ＥＣＵ２６が判断した際には、制御ＥＣＵ２６の制御によって図１の矢印Ａの方向へ向かう順番でモータ２２が順次一時的に駆動されることで、図１の矢印Ａの方向へ向かう順番で接触材２４が順次一時的に径方向外側へ膨張される。一方、車両を左側へ操舵する必要があると制御ＥＣＵ２６が判断した際には、制御ＥＣＵ２６の制御によって図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ向かう順番でモータ２２が順次一時的に駆動されることで、図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ向かう順番で接触材２４が順次一時的に径方向外側へ膨張される。   When the control ECU 26 determines that it is necessary to steer the vehicle to the right side, the motor 22 is temporarily driven in the order of the direction of the arrow A in FIG. The contact material 24 is temporarily expanded radially outward in order in the direction of the arrow A. On the other hand, when the control ECU 26 determines that the vehicle needs to be steered to the left side, the motor 22 is sequentially temporarily driven in the order of the direction of the arrow B in FIG. The contact members 24 are temporarily expanded radially outward in order in the direction of the arrow B in FIG.

次に、本実施の形態の作用を説明する。   Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

以上の構成のステアリングホイール１０では、リム部１８を乗員の手が把持した状態で、図１の矢印Ａの方向又は図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ回転操作されることで、ステアリングシャフト１４が回転されて、車両がそれぞれ右側又は左側へ操舵される。   In the steering wheel 10 having the above configuration, the steering shaft 14 is rotated by being rotated in the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 1 or the direction of the arrow B in FIG. Then, the vehicle is steered to the right side or the left side, respectively.

また、ミリ波レーダ２８が検出した車両周辺情報及び車両の速度等に基づき車両を右側へ操舵する必要があると制御ＥＣＵ２６が判断した際には、図１の矢印Ａの方向へ向かう順番でモータ２２が順次一時的に駆動されることで、図１の矢印Ａの方向へ向かう順番で接触材２４が順次一時的に径方向外側へ膨張されて、リム部１８を把持する乗員の手に車両を右側へ操舵する必要があることの情報（刺激）が伝達される。これにより、乗員が、容易にステアリングホイール１０を図１の矢印Ａの方向へ回転操作することができて、車両を右側へ操舵することができる。   Further, when the control ECU 26 determines that the vehicle needs to be steered to the right based on the vehicle periphery information detected by the millimeter wave radar 28, the vehicle speed, etc., the motors are moved in the order of the arrow A in FIG. 22 is sequentially driven temporarily, so that the contact member 24 is temporarily temporarily expanded radially outward in the order of the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 1, and the vehicle is placed in the hand of the occupant holding the rim portion 18. Information (stimulation) is transmitted that it is necessary to steer to the right. As a result, the occupant can easily rotate the steering wheel 10 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 and can steer the vehicle to the right.

一方、ミリ波レーダ２８が検出した車両周辺情報及び車両の速度等に基づき車両を左側へ操舵する必要があると制御ＥＣＵ２６が判断した際には、図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ向かう順番でモータ２２が順次一時的に駆動されることで、図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ向かう順番で接触材２４が順次一時的に径方向外側へ膨張されて、リム部１８を把持する乗員の手に車両を左側へ操舵する必要があることの情報（刺激）が伝達される。これにより、乗員が、容易にステアリングホイール１０を図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ回転操作することができて、車両を左側へ操舵することができる。   On the other hand, when the control ECU 26 determines that the vehicle needs to be steered to the left based on the vehicle periphery information detected by the millimeter wave radar 28, the vehicle speed, etc., the motors are moved in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 22 is sequentially driven temporarily so that the contact material 24 is temporarily temporarily expanded radially outward in the order of the direction of the arrow B in FIG. The information (stimulation) that it is necessary to steer to the left is transmitted. As a result, the occupant can easily rotate the steering wheel 10 in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 1 and can steer the vehicle to the left.

ここで、制御ＥＣＵ２６が接触材２４の膨張位置（接触材２４による刺激付与位置）をステアリングホイール１０周方向において変更する。このため、乗員の手に刺激を付与する態様を多くすることができ、乗員に伝達できる情報の種類を多くすることを可能にできる。   Here, the control ECU 26 changes the expansion position of the contact member 24 (stimulation applying position by the contact member 24) in the circumferential direction of the steering wheel 10. For this reason, the aspect which gives irritation | stimulation to a passenger | crew's hand can be increased, and the kind of information which can be transmitted to a passenger | crew can be increased.

さらに、制御ＥＣＵ２６が接触材２４の膨張位置をステアリングホイール１０周方向に沿って変更する。このため、接触材２４が図１の矢印Ａの方向へ向かう順番で順次一時的に径方向外側へ膨張される際と接触材２４が図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ向かう順番で順次一時的に径方向外側へ膨張される際とで乗員の手に付与される刺激の違いを乗員が容易に認識することができる。   Further, the control ECU 26 changes the expansion position of the contact member 24 along the circumferential direction of the steering wheel 10. For this reason, when the contact material 24 is temporarily expanded radially outward in the order of the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 1 and the contact material 24 is temporarily temporarily sequentially in the order of the direction of the arrow B in FIG. The occupant can easily recognize the difference in stimulation applied to the occupant's hand when inflated radially outward.

また、制御ＥＣＵ２６が接触材２４の膨張位置をリム部１８のステアリングホイール周方向における全体において変更する。このため、車両の運転中に乗員の手のリム部１８に対する把持位置がリム部１８の何れの周方向位置にあっても、乗員の手に刺激を付与することができる。   Further, the control ECU 26 changes the expansion position of the contact member 24 in the entire circumferential direction of the steering wheel of the rim portion 18. For this reason, it is possible to give a stimulus to the occupant's hand regardless of the circumferential position of the rim portion 18 when the grip position of the occupant's hand with respect to the rim portion 18 is in operation.

なお、本実施の形態では、制御ＥＣＵ２６を検出手段としてのミリ波レーダ２８に接続した構成としたが、制御ＥＣＵ２６を検出手段としてのナビゲーションシステムに接続した構成としてもよい。この場合、制御ＥＣＵ２６は、ナビゲーションシステムが検出した車両進路情報に基づき車両を右側又は左側へ操舵する必要があることを判断して、それぞれ図１の矢印Ａの方向又は図１の矢印Ｂの方向へ向かう順番でモータ２２を順次一時的に駆動させることができる。   In the present embodiment, the control ECU 26 is connected to the millimeter wave radar 28 as detection means. However, the control ECU 26 may be connected to a navigation system as detection means. In this case, the control ECU 26 determines that it is necessary to steer the vehicle to the right side or the left side based on the vehicle route information detected by the navigation system, and the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 1 or the direction of the arrow B in FIG. The motors 22 can be temporarily driven sequentially in the order of going to.

さらに、本実施の形態では、接触材２４の膨張位置を変更することで車両が操舵される必要がある方向を伝達する構成としたが、接触材２４の膨張位置を変更することで車両が加速又は減速する必要があることを伝達する構成としてもよい。   Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration is such that the direction in which the vehicle needs to be steered is transmitted by changing the expansion position of the contact material 24, but the vehicle is accelerated by changing the expansion position of the contact material 24. Or it is good also as a structure which transmits that it needs to decelerate.

また、本実施の形態では、本発明の操作部材を、円環状のリム部１８（把持部）を有するステアリングホイール１０とした構成としたが、本発明の操作部材を、楕円環状のリム部（把持部）を有するステアリングホイールとした構成としてもよい。さらに、本発明の操作部材を、棒状の把持部を一対有する正面視Ｈ字状の回転操作可能なもの（飛行機の操縦桿等）とした構成、本発明の操作部材を、棒状の把持部を一対有する正面視又は平面視が横Ｉ字状又は逆Ｕ字状の回動操作可能なもの（二輪車のハンドル等）とした構成、又は、本発明の操作部材を、棒状の把持部を有する側面視Ｉ字状の傾動操作可能なもの（所謂ジョイスティック等）とした構成としてもよい。   In the present embodiment, the operation member of the present invention is configured as the steering wheel 10 having the annular rim portion 18 (gripping portion). However, the operation member of the present invention is replaced with an elliptical rim portion ( It is good also as a structure made into the steering wheel which has a holding part. Furthermore, the operation member of the present invention has a configuration in which the operation member of the present invention has a H-shaped rotational operation (aircraft control stick etc.) having a pair of rod-shaped gripping portions, and the operation member of the present invention has a rod-shaped gripping portion.
