Description

  The present invention relates to an opener structure used when opening two types of lids such as a trunk lid and a fuel lid of an automobile.

  A plurality of lid openers are provided in the vicinity of the driver's seat as means for opening the hood, trunk lid, fuel lid, etc. of the automobile. For example, in passenger cars and the like, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-95413, the lower side of the driver's seat cushion, the floor in front of the door, the vehicle interior side under the front pillar, and the lower end of the dashboard In addition, for example, a plurality of opener handles such as a hood opener and a fuel lid opener are provided, and the handle of each opener can be operated with one hand. Then, for example, when the handle of the hood opener is operated, the hood for the hood is pulled, so that the lock mechanism of the hood hood is unlocked, and when the handle of the fuel lid opener is operated, the wire for the fuel lid is When pulled, the fuel lid opens.

  Such an opener handle generally has a structure in which the lid is opened by pulling the handle. Generally, since the fuel filler opening is located rearward, the cable of the fuel lid opener is bent in a U shape. In this state, it is necessary to fix to the mounting portion of the fuel lid opener.

  On the other hand, the structure which integrated the opener which operates two lids is proposed (refer patent document 1, 2 etc.).

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-760 JP-A-8-284507

  The structure of Patent Document 1 is a structure in which one lid is released by pulling up the handle, and the other lid is released by rotating the same handle. There was a risk of releasing the lid at the same time. In addition, when the positions of the two lids are the front and rear, the cable that releases one needs to be placed in a bent state, so the installation space is secured because the cable becomes longer and the cable is placed in a bent state. There was also a problem that it was necessary to do.

  Further, the structure of Patent Document 2 is one in which one lid is released by pulling up the handle of the case structure, and the other lid is released by opening the lid of the handle. However, there was a problem that it was disadvantageous in terms of cost. Also in this case, when the positions of the two lids are the front and the rear, there is a problem that the cable for releasing one of them needs to be arranged in a bent state.

  In view of the above-described circumstances, the present invention provides an opener structure in which two opening / closing members can be opened separately and an erroneous operation is unlikely to occur, and the two opener cables need not be arranged in an extremely bent state. For the purpose.

According to a first aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, there is provided an operation handle member provided to be swingable with respect to a fixing member provided in a vehicle interior, and a first opening / closing member provided in the vehicle. An opener structure comprising: a first cable connecting member to which a first cable to be opened is connected; and a second cable connecting member to which a second cable for opening a second opening / closing member disposed in the vehicle is connected. The operating handle member disposed between the first opening and closing member and the second opening and closing member swings in a direction opposite to the one direction and a first operating portion that can swing in one direction. A second operating portion that can be moved, and the first cable connecting member and the second cable connecting member are arranged from the back surface between the first operating portion and the second operating portion of the operating handle member. Provided on the projecting support member, One cable extends from the first cable connecting member in the longitudinal direction of the operation handle member and in the direction of the first opening / closing member, and the second cable extends from the second cable connection member to the longitudinal direction of the operation handle member. Extending in the direction of the second opening / closing member, which is the direction opposite to the extending direction of the first cable , and the first cable connecting member is operated to swing in one direction of the first operating portion. And the second cable connecting member is configured to swing in the other direction of the second operating portion. The opener structure is configured to swing in the other direction in conjunction with a moving operation to open the second opening / closing member via the second cable.

  In the first aspect, the first operation unit and the second operation unit are integrated, and the first operation unit and the second operation unit are independently operated and each of them is swung in one direction or the other direction.

A second guide portion that guides the swinging of the operation portion, and the first guide portion and the second guide portion are curved and extended in directions approaching each other. The opener structure described in the embodiment is provided.

  In the fifth aspect, the operation handle member can swing through the first and second pivot support portions and the first and second guide portions, but is curved so that the first and second guide portions approach each other. Therefore, it is supported in a state where the simultaneous separation of the first and second pivots is restricted. Furthermore, since the first operation unit and the second operation unit can be slidably operated with respect to the first axis or the second axis by the guide unit, the operational feeling can be improved.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect, the operation handle member is pivotally supported by the fixing member between the first operation portion and the second operation portion. In the opener structure described in 1.

  In the sixth aspect, since the operation handle member is supported by a single shaft, the structure is relatively simple, which can contribute to a reduction in the number of parts and an assembly man-hour.

  According to the present invention, an opener structure in which the openers of the two opening / closing members are relatively simple and integrated without increasing the number of parts can be realized, and the effect of reducing the mounting space for the opener and the cable can be achieved.

  In addition, since the cable can be extended without bending the cable with respect to the two opening / closing members arranged in the opposite direction to the opener, the length of the cable can be minimized and the connecting portion The cable layout is also easy. Furthermore, since the operation unit is independent and the operation swings in the opposite direction, there is no possibility of erroneous operation such as opening two lids at the same time, and the operation is easy.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail based on examples.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows a plan view of the opener structure according to the first embodiment, and FIGS. 2 and 3 schematically show cross-sectional views thereof.

  The two-way lid opener 1 that is the opener structure of the present embodiment as shown in these drawings is not shown, but the door side near the lower part of the front seat for the driver's seat of the automobile, the wall on the indoor side of the front pillar, It is provided on the floor (the side wall or floor under the driver's feet), the lower end of the dash panel, etc. In this embodiment, it is provided on the wall facing the driver on the indoor side below the front pillar, A description will be given assuming that the front hood and the rear fuel lid are opened independently.

  The two-way lid opener 1 is provided in a region facing the driver of the inner panel on the indoor side below the front pillar, and is a base member that is a fixing member provided in a recess of the inner panel and opening toward the driver. An operation handle member 10 is provided in 2. The operation handle member 10 has a first operation portion 11 for performing an operation for opening the hood and a second operation portion 12 for performing an operation for opening the fuel lid at both ends in the longitudinal direction, which are orthogonal to the vehicle width direction. Convex portions 13 and 14 serving as engaging portions for fingertips during operation are provided on the back side, which is the side opposite to the surface visible to the driver of the first and second operation portions 11 and 12, respectively. Yes.

  Further, the operation handle member 10 has a support portion 16 that is provided on the back surface between the first operation portion 11 and the second operation portion 12 and has a through hole 15 that penetrates in the width direction, and penetrates the support portion 16. Both ends of the shaft 17 are attached so as to be supported by the base member 2 which is a fixed member, and are rotatable about the shaft 17. As a result, the shaft 17 is attached to the base member 2 so as to extend substantially horizontally and in the vehicle width direction. Of course, the direction of the shaft 17 is not limited to the vehicle width direction or the horizontal direction, but may be a direction perpendicular to the vehicle width and the horizontal direction, or may be provided in a vertical direction or inclined.

  Two support members 18 and 19 project from the positions different in the width direction of the position where the support portion 16 on the back surface side of the operation handle member 10 is provided, that is, the right side and the left side toward the front of the vehicle body. ing. And the 1st cable connection member 22 and 2nd cable with which the front-end | tip part of the supporting members 18 and 19 is latched by the edge part of the 1st cable 20 and the 2nd cable 21 for operating each of a hood hood and a fuel lid. A connecting member 23 is provided.

  Here, the support portion 16 of the operation handle member 10 is provided in a portion closer to the second operation portion 12 than an intermediate position between the first operation portion 11 and the second operation portion 12, and the length of the support member 19. Is set shorter than the length of the support member 18. Accordingly, the swing stroke of the first operation unit 11 can be easily set larger than the swing stroke of the second operation unit 12 when operated, and the operation can be performed even when the operation force is small. This is because the operating force and stroke for opening the hood hood tend to be larger than those for opening the fuel lid, and this is absorbed. That is, even if a large force is required to open the hood, the hood can be opened with the same operating force as that for opening the fuel lid. In addition, the position of the support part 16 may be provided anywhere and is not limited to this.

  Here, the first cable 20 for opening the hood hood in front of the vehicle body is a so-called Bowden wire in which the inner wire 24 is passed inside the outer tube 25, and the end portion 26 of the outer tube 25 is fixed to the base member 2. The tube support member 27 is supported. Accordingly, the position of the outer tube 25 in the front-rear direction with respect to the base member 2 is fixed, but the inner wire 24 is movable in the front-rear direction with respect to the base member 2. On the other hand, a terminal member 28 is provided at the tip of the inner wire 24, and the terminal member 28 is locked to the first cable connecting member 22 as will be described in detail later. The other end of the first cable 20 is connected to a lock mechanism of a bonnet hood (not shown) so that the lock mechanism is unlocked when the inner wire 24 is pulled a predetermined length or more. Further, the inner wire 24 is urged in a direction to be always pulled toward the lock mechanism by a return spring built in the lock mechanism.

  The second cable 21 for opening the fuel lid at the rear of the vehicle body is also a Bowden wire composed of an inner wire 29 and an outer tube 30, and an end portion 31 of the outer tube 30 is supported by a tube support member 32 fixed to the base member 2. Has been. Thereby, the position of the outer tube 30 in the front-rear direction with respect to the base member 2 is fixed, but the inner wire 29 is movable in the front-rear direction with respect to the base member 2. On the other hand, a terminal member 33 is provided at the tip of the inner wire 29, and the terminal member 33 is locked to the second cable connecting member 23 as will be described in detail later. The other end of the second cable 21 is connected to a fuel lid locking mechanism (not shown) so that the locking mechanism is unlocked when the inner wire 29 is pulled a predetermined length or more. Further, the inner wire 29 is always urged in a direction to be pulled toward the lock mechanism by a return spring built in the lock mechanism.

  Next, the operation of the 2-way lid opener 1 having the above configuration will be described. At the normal time when the hood and the fuel lid are not opened, the operation handle member 10 is in an initial position which is a horizontal state in FIG.

  When it is necessary to open the hood, the operation handle member 10 is drawn around the shaft 17 by pulling the first operation portion 11 against the convex portion 13 on the back as shown by the wavy line in FIG. The terminal member 28, which is rocked (turned) in the clockwise direction (one direction) and is locked to the first cable connecting member 22, is moved therewith, and the inner wire 24 of the first cable 20 is moved by a predetermined stroke. It is pulled and the hood lock mechanism is released. Here, in order to ensure a predetermined stroke, the length of the support member 18 and the attachment position of the terminal member 28 by this are set. Further, when the hand is released from the first operation unit 11, the inner wire 24 is pulled to the original position by the return spring built in the lock mechanism, and the operation handle member 10 returns to the initial position.

  On the other hand, when the fuel lid is opened at the time of refueling or the like, the operation handle member is pulled by pulling the second operation portion 12 of the operation handle member 10 against the convex portion 14 on the back surface thereof as shown by the wavy line in FIG. 10 pivots (rotates) in the counterclockwise direction (the other direction) in the figure around the shaft 17, and the terminal member 33 locked to the second cable connecting member 23 moves together with the second cable. The inner wire 29 is pulled by a predetermined stroke, and the fuel lid locking mechanism is released. Further, when the hand is released from the second operation portion 12, the inner wire 29 is pulled to the original position by the return spring built in the lock mechanism, and the operation handle member 10 returns to the initial position. The predetermined stroke required for releasing the fuel lid locking mechanism may be smaller than the predetermined stroke for releasing the hood, so that the length of the support member 19 is made shorter than that of the support member 18 to The attachment position is set to a predetermined position.

  Here, a specific example of the locking structure of the inner wires 24 and 29 to the first and second cable connecting members 22 and 23 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. 4 and 5 will be described using the first cable connecting member 22 as an example.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of a locking structure when the inner wire 24 is a hard wire having high rigidity. As shown in FIG. 4, the end portion of the first cable connecting member 22 has a bent portion 101 bent in the direction opposite to the direction in which the inner wire 24 extends, and the slit portion 102 that divides the bent portion 101 in the width direction. Is provided. The slit portion 102 has a width through which the inner wire 24 can be inserted, and the terminal member 28 of the inner wire 24 is locked to the bent portion 101 with the inner wire 24 inserted into the slit portion 102. Further, since the bent portion 101 merely locks the terminal member 28, when the bent portion 101 moves in the direction of pulling the inner wire 24, as shown in FIG. When the inner wire 24 is pulled but moved in the opposite direction, the terminal member 28 is separated from the bent portion 101 and the inner wire 24 does not move as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a locking structure in the case where the inner wire 24 is a flexible soft wire. As shown in FIG. 5, the end portion of the first cable connecting member 22 is provided with a bent portion 103 that is bent in a direction opposite to the direction in which the inner wire 24 extends. It has a structure in which it forms an arc shape of a semicircle or more and encloses the terminal member 28 of the inner wire 24, and the terminal member 28 is inserted from the side. At this time, a slit 104 allowing insertion of the inner wire 24 is provided at a position away from the tip of the bent portion 103, and further, the bent portion 103 extends in the width direction from the position of the slit 104 to the extending direction of the inner wire 24. A slit 105 to be divided is provided. Thus, the terminal member 28 is inserted into the bent portion 103 from the side in a state where the inner wire 24 is inserted into the slit 104, and then the inner wire 24 is inserted from the slit 104 into the slit 105, whereby the terminal member 28 is bent into the bent portion. 103 can be locked. As a result, when the bent portion 103 moves in the direction in which the inner wire 24 is pulled, the inner wire 24 is pulled together with the terminal member 28 as shown in FIG. As shown, the terminal member 28 moves in the opposite direction together with the bent portion 103, but the inner wire 24 is bent and only absorbs slack and does not move.

  In the two-way lid opener 1 described above, the operation stroke determined by the movement amount of the end members 28 and 33 of the inner wires 24 and 29 is the first and second cable connecting members 22 and 22 associated with the swinging of the operation handle member 10. 23, and in the above-described example, it is mainly determined by the mounting position and length of the support members 18 and 19 on the operation handle member 10. The operation force (operation feeling) when operating the first and second operation units 11 and 12 is the distance from the shaft 17 to the first and second operation units 11 and 12, and the first and second operation units 11. , 12 and the first and second cable connecting members 22, 23, the force necessary to release the locking mechanism of the lid connected to the first and second cables 20, 21 and the like. Therefore, there is an advantage that the operation stroke and the operation force can be freely set by changing the positional relationship between the first operation units 11 and 12 and the first and second cable connection members 22 and 23.

  Further, the first and second operation portions 11 and 12 are provided at the longitudinal ends of the operation handle member 10, and the swing directions are set in opposite directions. When the provided first and second cable connection members 22 and 23 are moved in the opposite direction along the longitudinal direction of the operation handle member 10 because the swinging direction of the first and second cable connection members 22 and 23 is the front and rear of the vehicle body. In addition, the first and second cables 20 and 21 which are cables for operating each of the cables can be extended without being bent, the length of the cable can be minimized, and the layout of the cable can be achieved. There is an effect that it is not necessary to secure a large space for the. Here, the term “without bending the cable” means that the cable is not bent near a right angle or more than that, and does not exclude the case where the cable is gently bent and extended.

  Further, the above-described two-way lid opener 1 according to the first embodiment is an integrated opener that releases two lids, but has a very simple configuration and a small number of parts, and has a small installation space. The size can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

  FIG. 6 schematically shows a plan view of the opener structure according to the second embodiment, and FIGS. 7 and 8 schematically show a cross-sectional view thereof.

  The two-way lid opener 1A as shown in these figures is not shown, but is provided on the wall facing the driver on the indoor side below the front pillar, as in the first embodiment. In the following description, the fuel lid on the rear side of the vehicle is opened independently.

  The 2-way lid opener 1A is provided in a region facing the driver of the inner panel on the indoor side below the front pillar, and is operated in a base member 2A provided in the recess of the inner panel and opening toward the driver. A handle member 10A is provided. The operation handle member 10A includes a first operation portion 11A for performing an operation for opening a hood hood and a second operation portion 12A for performing an operation for opening a fuel lid at both ends in a longitudinal direction which is a direction orthogonal to the vehicle width direction. Convex portions 13A and 14A are provided on the back surfaces of the first and second operation portions 11A and 12A, respectively, which serve as engaging portions for fingertips during operation.

  Here, the first through hole 35 and the second through hole 36 that penetrate in the width direction are respectively provided in the convex portions 13A and 14A, and the first through hole 35 and the second through hole 36 have the first and The second shafts 37 and 38 pass through, and both end portions thereof are detachably supported by the upper end portion of the base member 2A, which is a fixing member, and each constitutes a first pivot portion and a second pivot portion. doing. On the other hand, a spring support portion 39 is provided at the middle in the width direction between the first operation portion 11A and the second operation portion 12A of the operation handle member 10A, and one end is locked to the spring support portion 39. In addition, a spring member 40 is provided, the other end of which is locked to the bottom of the base member 2A, which is a fixing member, and biases the operation handle member 10A toward the fixing member. The spring member 40 serves as a fall prevention means for restricting the free movement of the operation handle member 10A in which the first operation unit 11A and the second operation unit 12A are simultaneously separated to prevent the operation handle member 10A from dropping.

  Accordingly, the operation handle member 10A is supported on the base member 2A via the first and second shafts 37 and 38, and these become the first and second pivot portions. The first and second shafts 37 and 38 are supported by the base member 2A so as to extend substantially horizontally and in the vehicle width direction, but are not limited thereto.

  Here, an example of a support structure on the base member 2A of the first and second shafts 37 and 38, which are the first and second pivots, is shown in FIG. FIG. 9 shows a support state of the first shaft 37. The first shaft 37 is supported on a substantially U-shaped guide groove 41 that is released upward so as to be rotatable and detachable. . The structure of the guide groove 41 is not limited to this, and may be V-shaped or other shapes as long as the structure is supported so as to be rotatable and detachable.

  With such a structure, by pulling the first operating portion 11A against the spring force of the spring member 40, the operating handle member 10A swings with the second shaft 38 as the central axis, and the second operating portion 12A. Is pulled while resisting the spring force of the spring member 40, so that the operation handle member 10A swings with the first shaft 37 as the central axis. Moreover, since the spring member 40 is provided between the 1st operation part 11 and the 2nd operation part 12, the spring member 40 can provide the operation reaction force of 1st and 2nd operation part 11A, 12A with sufficient balance. It can be done.

  Two support members 18A and 19A are projected from both sides in the width direction of the position where the spring support portion 39 on the back side of the operation handle member 10A is provided, that is, on the right side and the left side toward the front of the vehicle body. . Then, the first cable connecting member 22A and the second cable, in which the end portions of the first cable 20 and the second cable 21 for operating the front ends of the support members 18A and 19A and the hood and the fuel lid, respectively, are locked. It is a connecting member 23A.

  Here, the structure of the first cable 20 for opening the hood hood in front of the vehicle body and the second cable 21 for opening the fuel lid at the rear of the vehicle body is the same as in the first embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted. An end portion 26 of the outer tube 25 of the first cable 20 is supported by a tube support member 27A fixed to the base member 2A, and a terminal member 28 is locked to the tip of the inner wire 24 by the first cable connection member 22A. ing. On the other hand, the end portion 31 of the outer tube 30 of the second cable 21 is supported by a tube support member 32A fixed to the base member 2A, and the terminal member 33 of the inner wire 29 is locked to the second cable connection member 23A. .

  Next, the operation of the 2-way lid opener 1A having the above configuration will be described. At the normal time when the hood and the fuel lid are not opened, the operation handle member 10A is in an initial position which is a horizontal state in FIG.

  When it is necessary to open the hood, as shown by a wavy line in FIG. 7, the operation handle member 10 </ b> A is rotated around the second shaft 38 in the clockwise direction (one direction) by pulling the first operation portion 11 </ b> A by hand. ) And the terminal member 28 locked to the first cable connecting member 22A is moved therewith, and the inner wire 24 of the first cable 20 is pulled by a predetermined stroke to lock the hood hood. The mechanism is released. Here, in order to ensure a predetermined stroke, the length of the support member 18A and the attachment position of the terminal member 28 by this are set. Further, when the hand is released from the first operation portion 11A, the inner wire 24 is pulled to the original position by the return spring built in the lock mechanism, and the operation handle member 10A returns to the initial position.

  On the other hand, when the fuel lid is opened at the time of refueling or the like, the operation handle member 10A is moved to the first position by pulling the second operation portion 12A of the operation handle member 10A by hand as indicated by a wavy line in FIG. The terminal member 33 that is rocked (rotated) in the counterclockwise direction (the other direction) in the drawing around the one axis 37 moves together with the terminal member 33 that is locked to the second cable connecting member 23A, and moves to the second cable 21. The inner wire 29 is pulled by a predetermined stroke, and the fuel lid locking mechanism is released. When the hand is released from the second operation portion 12A, the inner wire 29 is pulled to the original position by the return spring built in the lock mechanism, and the operation handle member 10A returns to the initial position. Since the predetermined stroke required for releasing the fuel lid locking mechanism may be smaller than the predetermined stroke for releasing the bonnet hood, the length of the support member 19A is made shorter than the support member 18A, and The attachment position is set to a predetermined position.

  The effect of the two-way lid opener 1A described above is the same as that of the first embodiment. However, the difference from the first embodiment is that the first and second shafts 37 and 38 are supported by the upper end portion of the base member 2A. Therefore, even if a force that pushes the first operation unit 11A or the second operation unit 12A by mistake is applied, there is an advantage that it is not pushed in and the malfunction can be prevented.

  10 and 11 schematically show a cross-sectional view of the opener structure according to the third embodiment.
