Description

本発明はガススプリング装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a gas spring device.

一般に、椅子に着座したときの座り心地を良好にするためには、ガススプリング装置を介して座部を支持する構成のものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   In general, in order to improve the sitting comfort when seated on a chair, a configuration in which a seat portion is supported via a gas spring device is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

この種のガススプリング装置は、レバー操作により椅子の高さ調整を行えると共に、座部が回動可能に支持されており、座部に作用していた荷重(体重)が無くなると、座部を初期位置に復帰させる回動位置復帰機構(「オートリターン機構」とも呼ばれている)が設けられている。   This type of gas spring device can adjust the height of the chair by operating the lever, and the seat is rotatably supported. When the load (weight) acting on the seat disappears, the seat is A rotation position return mechanism (also referred to as an “auto return mechanism”) for returning to the initial position is provided.

従来のガススプリング装置では、回動位置復帰機構が、支持筒体内に固着された案内部材と、シリンダ機構の回動に応じて回動する軸方向の一側に傾斜面が形成された回動部材と、回動部材の傾斜面と当接、離間する傾斜面が一側に形成され、回動規制部材により回動を規制され、軸方向のみ移動可能な昇降部材と、昇降部材の傾斜面と回動部材の傾斜面とが当接する方向に付勢するばね部材とを備えている。そして、ガススプリング装置に支持された座部は、昇降部材の傾斜面と回動部材の傾斜面とが一致するように回動部材が軸回りに回動することで所定の向きとなる初期位置に復帰する。   In the conventional gas spring device, the rotation position return mechanism includes a guide member fixed in the support cylinder and a rotation in which an inclined surface is formed on one side in the axial direction that rotates according to the rotation of the cylinder mechanism. A member, an inclined surface that contacts and separates from the inclined surface of the rotating member, is formed on one side, and is controlled by the rotation restricting member, and is movable only in the axial direction. And a spring member that biases in a direction in which the inclined surface of the rotating member abuts. The seat portion supported by the gas spring device is in an initial position in which the rotating member rotates about the axis so that the inclined surface of the elevating member and the inclined surface of the rotating member coincide with each other.

しかしながら、従来のガススプリング装置では、昇降部材が軸方向に昇降移動すると共に回動規制部材により回動を規制される構成であるので、昇降部材の外周より半径方向に突出する凸部が回動規制部材の凹部に係合し、且つ昇降部材が高さ調整動作により昇降することを許容するように凹部が軸方向に延在形成されている。   However, in the conventional gas spring device, since the elevating member moves up and down in the axial direction and the rotation is restricted by the rotation restricting member, the convex portion protruding in the radial direction from the outer periphery of the elevating member rotates. The recess is formed to extend in the axial direction so as to engage with the recess of the restricting member and allow the elevating member to move up and down by the height adjusting operation.

昇降部材の凸部は、回動規制部材の凹部に嵌合して回動規制され、且つ座部の高さ調整時に回動規制部材の凹部に沿って昇降移動するため、凹部との間に隙間を設けて昇降移動をスムーズにしている。   The convex part of the elevating member is fitted into the concave part of the rotation restricting member to be restricted from rotation, and moves up and down along the concave part of the rotation restricting member when adjusting the height of the seat part. A gap is provided for smooth up and down movement.

そのため、従来は、昇降部材の凸部と回動規制部材の凹部との隙間(遊び)があるので、可動側の昇降部材が固定側の回動規制部材に対してがたつきのある状態に組立られており、回動位置復帰機構によってガススプリング装置に支持された座部を初期位置に復帰させる際に座部の位置が上記隙間(遊び)によってばらつくという問題がある。   Therefore, conventionally, since there is a gap (play) between the convex part of the elevating member and the concave part of the rotation restricting member, the movable elevating member is assembled in a state where the fixed side rotation restricting member is loose. However, when the seat supported by the gas spring device is returned to the initial position by the rotation position return mechanism, the position of the seat varies due to the gap (play).

そこで、本発明は上記課題を解決したガススプリング装置を提供することを目的とする。   Then, this invention aims at providing the gas spring apparatus which solved the said subject.

A cylinder that is inserted into the support cylinder, has one end projecting outward from the support cylinder in the axial direction, and is provided so as to be rotatable about an axis with respect to the support cylinder;
A piston slidably inserted into the cylinder;
A cylinder mechanism comprising a rod having one end connected to the piston and the other end extending from the other end of the cylinder and fixed to the other end of the support cylinder;
A rotation position return mechanism that is provided between the support cylinder and the cylinder mechanism and returns to a reference position with respect to rotation of the cylinder mechanism with respect to the support cylinder;
In the gas spring device for a chair in which a seat is attached to one end side of the cylinder mechanism,
The rotational position return mechanism is
An outer periphery is fixedly provided in the support cylinder, and a guide member into which the cylinder is inserted into the inner periphery ;
Housed in the guide member is engaged with the outer periphery of the cylinder da, a rotating member inclined surface on one side in the axial direction is formed to be rotated in accordance with the axis of rotation of the cylinder,
An inclined surface that contacts and separates from the inclined surface of the rotating member is formed on one side, the rotation is restricted by the rotation restricting member with respect to the guide member, and the cylinder is inserted and only in the axial direction. A movable lifting member;
The support cylinder is provided in the body, and a spring member for biasing the lifting member in the direction in which the inclined surface abuts the inclined surface and the rotating member of the elevating member,
The rotation restricting member is
Consists of a convex portion provided integrally with the lifting member, and a concave portion provided in the guide member corresponding to the convex portion,

本発明によれば、回動規制部材を構成する凸部及び凹部が回動部材と昇降部材とが当接する方向に移動するに従い周方向の幅寸法が狭くなるテーパ状に形成されるため、昇降部材がばね部材の付勢力により復帰方向に移動した際、凸部のテーパ部と凹部のテーパ部とが軸方向に移動して嵌合することで昇降部材と案内部材との間のがたつきを無くして初期位置に復帰した際に周方向のがたつきが無い状態となり、座部を初期位置に復帰させた際の座部の位置を所定位置に位置決めすることができる。   According to the present invention, the convex and concave portions constituting the rotation restricting member are formed in a tapered shape whose width dimension in the circumferential direction becomes narrower as the rotation member and the elevating member come in contact with each other. When the member moves in the return direction due to the urging force of the spring member, the taper portion of the convex portion and the taper portion of the concave portion move in the axial direction and fit to each other, thereby rattling between the elevating member and the guide member. When the seat portion is returned to the initial position without any wobbling, there is no backlash in the circumferential direction, and the seat portion when the seat portion is returned to the initial position can be positioned at a predetermined position.

以下、図面を参照して本発明を実施するための形態について説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1は本発明によるガススプリング装置の一実施例を示す縦断面図である。図1に示されるように、ガススプリング装置10は、高さ調整機構として作用する弁機構20と、回動位置復帰機構30とを有する。ガススプリング装置10は、外観的には筒状体からロッドが突出したものであり、その下端には椅子12の脚部13が嵌合される。また、ガススプリング装置10の上端には座部14を支持するブラケット16が嵌合している。   FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an embodiment of a gas spring device according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the gas spring device 10 includes a valve mechanism 20 that acts as a height adjustment mechanism, and a rotational position return mechanism 30. In appearance, the gas spring device 10 has a rod protruding from a cylindrical body, and a leg portion 13 of the chair 12 is fitted to the lower end thereof. A bracket 16 that supports the seat portion 14 is fitted to the upper end of the gas spring device 10.

ガススプリング装置10の外周側に設けられた支持筒体40は、底部開口が底板50に閉塞された有底円筒状に形成されている。支持筒体40の内部に挿通された外筒60は、支持筒体40の上端開口から軸方向に移動可能に突出している。   The support cylinder 40 provided on the outer peripheral side of the gas spring device 10 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape in which a bottom opening is closed by a bottom plate 50. The outer cylinder 60 inserted into the support cylinder 40 protrudes from the upper end opening of the support cylinder 40 so as to be movable in the axial direction.

支持筒体40の内周と外筒60の外周との間に形成された筒状空間には、椅子12の回動方向の向きを初期位置に復帰させる回動位置復帰機構30が設けられている。回動位置復帰機構30は、人が立ちあがった離席状態になると座部14の向きを所定の向き(初期位置)に自動的に復帰させる機構であり、案内部材70、昇降部材80、回動部材90、ばね部材100等から大略構成されている。   The cylindrical space formed between the inner periphery of the support cylinder 40 and the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 60 is provided with a rotation position return mechanism 30 that returns the direction of the rotation direction of the chair 12 to the initial position. Yes. The rotation position return mechanism 30 is a mechanism that automatically returns the seat portion 14 to a predetermined orientation (initial position) when a person stands up and leaves the seat. The member 90, the spring member 100, etc. are generally configured.

案内部材70は、支持筒体40の内周側にかしめ等により固定されており、外筒60を軸方向と回動方向に案内する。また、案内部材70の内周側には、ばね部材100が収容される凹部が設けられている。ばね部材100は、上端が昇降部材80の底部に当接し、下端が支持筒体40にかしめ加工により固定されたばね受け110に当接している。   The guide member 70 is fixed to the inner peripheral side of the support cylinder 40 by caulking or the like, and guides the outer cylinder 60 in the axial direction and the rotation direction. Further, a concave portion in which the spring member 100 is accommodated is provided on the inner peripheral side of the guide member 70. The spring member 100 has an upper end in contact with the bottom of the elevating member 80 and a lower end in contact with the spring receiver 110 fixed to the support cylinder 40 by caulking.

回動部材90は、上側に設けられたスラスト軸受120によって回動可能に支持されている。また、回動部材90は、外筒60に対し回動方向に一体的に回動するように固定され、外筒60を軸方向にのみ移動可能に支持している。さらに、回動部材90の下面には、昇降部材80の傾斜面(カム面)に当接、離間する傾斜面(カム面)が形成されている。ばね部材100は、昇降部材80を上方に付勢しており、昇降部材80と回動部材90との傾斜面同士を当接する初期位置の方向に付勢している。   The rotating member 90 is rotatably supported by a thrust bearing 120 provided on the upper side. The rotating member 90 is fixed so as to rotate integrally with the outer cylinder 60 in the rotating direction, and supports the outer cylinder 60 so as to be movable only in the axial direction. Further, an inclined surface (cam surface) that contacts and separates from the inclined surface (cam surface) of the elevating member 80 is formed on the lower surface of the rotating member 90. The spring member 100 urges the elevating member 80 upward, and urges the inclined surfaces of the elevating member 80 and the rotating member 90 toward the initial position.

さらに、スラスト軸受120の上端と案内部材70の内周側との間には、ウェーブワッシャ122を設けている。ウェーブワッシャ122は、環状に形成された上下面が軸方向に湾曲する凹部と凸部とを周方向に交互に形成された板バネ作用を有する波ワッシャであり、回動部材90とスラスト軸受120に軸力を与えるためのものである。   Further, a wave washer 122 is provided between the upper end of the thrust bearing 120 and the inner peripheral side of the guide member 70. The wave washer 122 is a wave washer having a leaf spring action in which a concave portion and a convex portion whose upper and lower surfaces formed in an annular shape are curved in the axial direction are alternately formed in the circumferential direction, and the rotating member 90 and the thrust bearing 120. It is for giving axial force to.

ここで、シリンダ機構130の構成について説明する。外筒60の上端開口には、プランジャ140が摺動可能に挿嵌されている。このプランジャ140は、例えば、操作レバー150の外部操作により下方に押圧操作させると、外筒60の内部に降下して高さ調整を可能とする。 Here, the configuration of the sheet cylinder mechanism 130. A plunger 140 is slidably fitted into the upper end opening of the outer cylinder 60. For example, when the plunger 140 is pressed downward by an external operation of the operation lever 150, the plunger 140 is lowered to the inside of the outer cylinder 60 to enable height adjustment.

また、外筒60の内側には、金属チューブからなるシリンダ160が挿入されている。また、シリンダ160の内部底部には、ピストン170、ピストンロッド180が軸方向に摺動可能に挿入されており、シリンダ160の上端には、ガスの流通をオンまたはオフとする弁機構20が設けられている。弁機構20は、人が座部14に座った着席状態で加圧ガスの流れを流通することにより座部14の高さ調整操作を行う高さ調整機構を構成しており、シリンダ160の上室160Aとシリンダ160の外周に形成された連通路とを連通するガス流通路(図1では隠れて見えない)と、上下方向に貫通するプランジャ140のロッド142に設けられたスプール弁144とから構成されている。スプール弁144は、プランジャ140が押圧操作されないときは、弁機構20のガス流通路を遮断する閉位置にある。   A cylinder 160 made of a metal tube is inserted inside the outer cylinder 60. In addition, a piston 170 and a piston rod 180 are slidably inserted in the inner bottom portion of the cylinder 160 in an axial direction, and a valve mechanism 20 that turns gas flow on or off is provided at the upper end of the cylinder 160. It has been. The valve mechanism 20 constitutes a height adjustment mechanism that performs a height adjustment operation of the seat portion 14 by circulating a flow of pressurized gas while a person is seated on the seat portion 14. A gas flow passage (not visible in FIG. 1) that communicates between the chamber 160A and the communication passage formed on the outer periphery of the cylinder 160, and a spool valve 144 provided on the rod 142 of the plunger 140 penetrating vertically. It is configured. The spool valve 144 is in a closed position where the gas flow passage of the valve mechanism 20 is blocked when the plunger 140 is not pressed.

ロッド142の上端は、プランジャ140の下端に当接しており、着座状態でプランジャ140が操作レバー150によって押圧操作されると、ロッド142が下方に変位して、スプール弁144の括れ部分が弁機構20のガス流通路を遮断する閉位置からガス流通路を連通する開位置に変位する。   The upper end of the rod 142 is in contact with the lower end of the plunger 140. When the plunger 140 is pressed by the operation lever 150 in the seated state, the rod 142 is displaced downward, and the constricted portion of the spool valve 144 is moved to the valve mechanism. The position is shifted from the closed position where the 20 gas flow passages are blocked to the open position where the gas flow passages are communicated.

シリンダ160の内部は、加圧ガスが充填されており、ピストン170の上側に形成された上室160Aと、ピストン170の下側に形成されたに連通される下室160Bとを有する。また、上室160Aと下室160Bとの間は、弁機構20のガス流通路を介して連通されており、スプール弁144の作動位置によりガス流通路が連通または遮断される。   The inside of the cylinder 160 is filled with pressurized gas and has an upper chamber 160A formed on the upper side of the piston 170 and a lower chamber 160B formed on the lower side of the piston 170 and communicated with the upper chamber 160A. The upper chamber 160A and the lower chamber 160B communicate with each other via a gas flow passage of the valve mechanism 20, and the gas flow passage is communicated or blocked depending on the operating position of the spool valve 144.

ピストン170は、シリンダ160内を上室160Aと下室160Bとに仕切っており、ピストン170の中央には、ピストンロッド180が結合されている。そのため、ピストンロッド180はピストン170と共に軸方向(上下方向)に移動可能に設けられている。   The piston 170 partitions the inside of the cylinder 160 into an upper chamber 160A and a lower chamber 160B, and a piston rod 180 is coupled to the center of the piston 170. Therefore, the piston rod 180 is provided so as to be movable in the axial direction (vertical direction) together with the piston 170.

着座状態で上記操作レバー150によってプランジャ140が押圧されてスプール弁144が下方に変位してガス流通路を開放したときは、シリンダ160の上室160Aと下室160Bとの間が連通状態に切り替わり、ピストン170が上面と下面との受圧面積の差によりガス圧によって押し下げられる。これにより、ピストンロッド180がシリンダ160の下方に押し出され、座部14の高さ位置を上昇させることが可能になる。   When the plunger 140 is pressed by the operation lever 150 in the seated state and the spool valve 144 is displaced downward to open the gas flow passage, the upper chamber 160A and the lower chamber 160B of the cylinder 160 are switched to the communication state. The piston 170 is pushed down by the gas pressure due to the difference in pressure receiving area between the upper surface and the lower surface. Thereby, the piston rod 180 is pushed out below the cylinder 160, and the height position of the seat part 14 can be raised.

図2Aはガススプリング装置の回動位置復帰機構の初期位置を示す側面図である。図2Bは図2A中A−A線に沿うガススプリング装置の回動位置復帰機構の初期位置を示す縦断面図である。図2Cはガススプリング装置の回動位置復帰機構を示す底面図である。尚、図2A乃至図2Cにおいて、ばね部材100、スラスト軸受120、ウェーブワッシャ122を省略してある。   FIG. 2A is a side view showing an initial position of the rotation position return mechanism of the gas spring device. FIG. 2B is a longitudinal sectional view showing an initial position of the rotation position return mechanism of the gas spring device along the line AA in FIG. 2A. FIG. 2C is a bottom view showing the rotation position return mechanism of the gas spring device. 2A to 2C, the spring member 100, the thrust bearing 120, and the wave washer 122 are omitted.

図2A乃至図2Cに示されるように、案内部材70は、下部が円筒形状に形成されており、内部に昇降部材80と回動部材90とが同軸上に配されている。昇降部材80は、案内部材70の円筒部外周側に設けられた回止め用凹部72、73に係合する一対の凸部82、83を有する。回止め用凹部72、73及び凸部82、83は、周方向上180度の間隔で設けられ、軸方向への昇降動作をガイドすると共に、昇降部材80の周方向への回動を規制する規制部材である。   As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, the guide member 70 has a cylindrical lower portion, and an elevating member 80 and a rotating member 90 are coaxially arranged inside. The elevating member 80 has a pair of convex portions 82 and 83 that engage with the concave portions 72 and 73 for rotation prevention provided on the outer peripheral side of the cylindrical portion of the guide member 70. The recesses 72 and 73 for rotation prevention and the protrusions 82 and 83 are provided at intervals of 180 degrees in the circumferential direction, guide the lifting operation in the axial direction, and restrict the rotation of the lifting member 80 in the circumferential direction. It is a regulating member.

回動部材90は、案内部材70の円筒部の内側で軸回りに回動可能に設けられ、且つ軸方向に移動しないように昇降動作を規制されている。また、案内部材70、昇降部材80、回動部材90は、それぞれ外筒60が挿通される挿通孔74、84、94が軸方向に貫通している。   The rotating member 90 is provided so as to be rotatable around the axis inside the cylindrical portion of the guide member 70, and the lifting operation is restricted so as not to move in the axial direction. The guide member 70, the elevating member 80, and the rotating member 90 have through holes 74, 84, and 94 through which the outer cylinder 60 is inserted, respectively, in the axial direction.

図3Aは回動位置復帰機構の回動状態を示す側面図である。図3Bは図3A中B−B線に沿う縦断面図である。   FIG. 3A is a side view showing a turning state of the turning position return mechanism. 3B is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line BB in FIG. 3A.

図3A及び図3Bに示されるように、外筒60の上端に結合された座部14が着座状態のまま軸回りに回動されると、外筒60とともに回動部材90が回動し、回動部材90の回動に伴って回動規制された昇降部材80がばね部材100のばね力に抗して軸方向下方に移動する。   As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the seat 14 coupled to the upper end of the outer cylinder 60 is rotated around the axis while being seated, the rotating member 90 rotates with the outer cylinder 60, The raising / lowering member 80, which is restricted by the rotation of the rotation member 90, moves downward in the axial direction against the spring force of the spring member 100.

また、着座状態のときは、座部14を介して外筒60に体重が作用しており、外筒60の外周に嵌合された回動部材90も座部14と同じ方向に回動している。そして、昇降部材80は、回動部材90の傾斜面がカム面として作用することで下方に降下してばね部材100を圧縮する。そのため、ばね部材100のばね力が増大して昇降部材80をより強く上方に付勢する。   In the seated state, the weight acts on the outer cylinder 60 via the seat portion 14, and the rotating member 90 fitted to the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 60 also rotates in the same direction as the seat portion 14. ing. And the raising / lowering member 80 descend | falls below and compresses the spring member 100 because the inclined surface of the rotation member 90 acts as a cam surface. Therefore, the spring force of the spring member 100 is increased, and the elevating member 80 is more strongly biased upward.

回動部材90の傾斜面91は、座部14が初期位置にあるときは、昇降部材80の傾斜面81と傾斜方向が一致し、傾斜面81全体に対向する位置にある(図2B参照)。また、座部14を回動させた状態では、回動部材90の傾斜面91が昇降部材80の傾斜面81と相対的に回動しており、傾斜面91の一部が傾斜面81に接触している。   When the seat portion 14 is in the initial position, the inclined surface 91 of the rotating member 90 is in a position where the inclined surface 81 of the elevating member 80 coincides with the inclined direction and faces the entire inclined surface 81 (see FIG. 2B). . Further, in a state where the seat portion 14 is rotated, the inclined surface 91 of the rotating member 90 is rotated relative to the inclined surface 81 of the elevating member 80, and a part of the inclined surface 91 is changed to the inclined surface 81. In contact.

上記のように座部14に体重が作用された着座状態では、外筒60の上端に体重が作用しているので、回動部材90の負荷が増大しており、ばね部材100のばね力によって回動部材90を初期位置に復帰させることができない。そして、座部14を回動させた状態で離席した場合、座部14に作用する体重が除去され、回動部材90に作用する負荷が軽減されるため、昇降部材80を上方に付勢するばね部材100のばね力により回動部材90の傾斜面91が昇降部材80の傾斜面81と一致する方向に回動する。   In the seated state in which the weight is applied to the seat portion 14 as described above, the weight is applied to the upper end of the outer cylinder 60, so that the load on the rotating member 90 is increased and the spring force of the spring member 100 is increased. The rotating member 90 cannot be returned to the initial position. When the seat 14 is left with the seat 14 rotated, the weight acting on the seat 14 is removed, and the load acting on the turning member 90 is reduced. The inclined surface 91 of the rotating member 90 is rotated in a direction coinciding with the inclined surface 81 of the elevating member 80 by the spring force of the spring member 100 that performs.

ここで、案内部材70、昇降部材80、回動部材90の構成について詳細に説明する。   Here, the structure of the guide member 70, the raising / lowering member 80, and the rotation member 90 is demonstrated in detail.

図4Aは回動位置復帰機構の案内部材を示す側面図である。図4Bは図4A中C−C線に沿う縦断面図である。図4Cは回動位置復帰機構の案内部材を示す底面図である。   FIG. 4A is a side view showing a guide member of the rotation position return mechanism. 4B is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line CC in FIG. 4A. FIG. 4C is a bottom view showing the guide member of the rotation position return mechanism.

図4A乃至図4Cに示されるように、案内部材70は、円筒形状の上部中央に外筒60が挿通される挿通孔74が軸方向に貫通しており、且つ下部に昇降部材80、回動部材90を収納する収納凹部75が形成されている。また、収納凹部75を囲むように形成された筒状の壁部76には、前述した回止め用凹部72、73が下端から上方に延在形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C, the guide member 70 has an insertion hole 74 through which the outer cylinder 60 is inserted in the center of the upper part of the cylindrical shape in the axial direction. A storage recess 75 for storing the member 90 is formed. Further, in the cylindrical wall portion 76 formed so as to surround the housing concave portion 75, the above-described concave portions for rotation 72 and 73 are formed to extend upward from the lower end.

回止め用凹部72、73は、軸方向に延在形成された直線部72a、73aと、上方の位置になるに従い周方向の幅寸法が狭くなるテーパ部72b、73bとを有する。また、テーパ部72b、73bの両側に形成された壁面の軸線に対する傾斜角度θは、それぞれ同一角度に形成され、左右対称である。   The locking recesses 72 and 73 include linear portions 72a and 73a formed to extend in the axial direction, and tapered portions 72b and 73b whose width in the circumferential direction becomes narrower toward the upper position. In addition, the inclination angles θ of the wall surfaces formed on both sides of the taper portions 72b and 73b with respect to the axis are formed at the same angle and are bilaterally symmetric.

尚、案内部材70は、同一形状に形成された回止め用凹部72、73が周方向に180度の間隔で設けられているので、回止め用凹部72、73の位置を気にせずに取り付けることができる。   The guide member 70 is attached without worrying about the positions of the rotation-stopping recesses 72 and 73 because the rotation-stopping recesses 72 and 73 formed in the same shape are provided at intervals of 180 degrees in the circumferential direction. be able to.

図5Aは回動位置復帰機構の昇降部材を示す正面図である。図5Bは回動位置復帰機構の昇降部材を示す背面図である。図5Cは回動位置復帰機構の摺動部材を示す平面図である。図5Dは図5A中D−D線に沿う縦断面図である。   FIG. 5A is a front view showing an elevating member of the rotation position return mechanism. FIG. 5B is a rear view showing the elevating member of the rotation position return mechanism. FIG. 5C is a plan view showing a sliding member of the rotational position return mechanism. FIG. 5D is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line DD in FIG. 5A.

図5A乃至図5Dに示されるように、昇降部材80の上面には、回動部材90の傾斜面91と対向する傾斜面81が形成されている。また、昇降部材80の外周側には、案内部材70の回止め用凹部72、73に係合する第1、第2凸部82、83が設けられている。   As shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D, an inclined surface 81 that faces the inclined surface 91 of the rotating member 90 is formed on the upper surface of the elevating member 80. Further, on the outer peripheral side of the elevating member 80, first and second convex portions 82 and 83 that engage with the rotation-preventing concave portions 72 and 73 of the guide member 70 are provided.

傾斜面81は、一方の第1凸部82の突出側が最も低い最低位置PAとなり、他方の第2凸部83の突出側が最も高い最高位置PBとなるように形成されている。上方からみると、最低位置PAと最高位置PBとの間に一対の傾斜面81が左右対称に配置される。   The inclined surface 81 is formed such that the protruding side of one first convex portion 82 is the lowest lowest position PA and the protruding side of the other second convex portion 83 is the highest highest position PB. When viewed from above, the pair of inclined surfaces 81 are arranged symmetrically between the lowest position PA and the highest position PB.

一方の第1凸部82は、側方からみると四角形状に形成され、横幅が回止め用凹部72、73の直線部72a、73aの周方向の溝幅よりも若干小さい寸法に形成されている。他方の第2凸部83は、両側面が軸方向に延在形成された直線部83aと、両側面が軸方向に対して傾斜するテーパ部83bとを有する。テーパ部83bの軸線に対する傾斜角αは、回止め用凹部72、73のテーパ部72b、73bの傾斜角θとほぼ同じ角度に設定されている(θ≒α)。   One first convex portion 82 is formed in a square shape when viewed from the side, and has a width slightly smaller than the circumferential groove width of the straight portions 72a and 73a of the concave portions 72 and 73 for rotation prevention. Yes. The other second convex portion 83 includes a straight portion 83a having both side surfaces extending in the axial direction and a tapered portion 83b having both side surfaces inclined with respect to the axial direction. The inclination angle α with respect to the axis of the taper portion 83b is set to be substantially the same as the inclination angle θ of the taper portions 72b and 73b of the anti-rotation concave portions 72 and 73 (θ≈α).

尚、本実施の形態では、第1凸部82と第2凸部83とが異なる形状に形成されているが、第1凸部82の形状も第2凸部83と同様にテーパ部を有する形状としても良い。   In the present embodiment, the first convex portion 82 and the second convex portion 83 are formed in different shapes. However, the first convex portion 82 has a tapered portion as in the second convex portion 83. It is good also as a shape.

座部14を回動させて離席した場合には、昇降部材80がばね部材100のばね力によって上昇しながら傾斜面81の最高位置PBが回動部材90の傾斜面91を押圧して回動部材90を回動させて座部14を初期位置に復帰させる。その動作過程において、昇降部材80の第1、第2凸部82、83は、案内部材70の回止め用凹部72、73に沿って上方に移動するため、第2凸部83のテーパ部83bが回止め用凹部73のテーパ部73bに嵌合することにより、座部14を支持するシリンダ機構130の軸方向及び周方向の動きが拘束される。   When the seat portion 14 is rotated to leave the seat, the highest position PB of the inclined surface 81 presses the inclined surface 91 of the rotating member 90 while the elevating member 80 is raised by the spring force of the spring member 100. The moving member 90 is rotated to return the seat portion 14 to the initial position. In the operation process, the first and second convex portions 82 and 83 of the elevating member 80 move upward along the anti-rotation concave portions 72 and 73 of the guide member 70, and therefore the tapered portion 83 b of the second convex portion 83. Is engaged with the tapered portion 73 b of the rotation-preventing recess 73, so that the axial and circumferential movements of the cylinder mechanism 130 that supports the seat portion 14 are restrained.

これにより、支持部材40に固定された案内部材70と昇降部材80とは、互いに第2凸部83のテーパ部83bと回止め用凹部73のテーパ部73bとががたつきの無い状態に嵌合することで座部14を支持する外筒60のがたつきを抑制することが可能になる。従って、座部14が初期位置に復帰した際には、第2凸部83のテーパ部83bが軸方向に移動して回止め用凹部73のテーパ部73bと嵌合することで昇降部材80と案内部材70との間の軸方向及び周方向のがたつきが無い状態となり、座部14を初期位置に復帰させた際の座部14の周方向上の停止位置を所定位置に位置決めすることができる。   Thus, the guide member 70 and the elevating member 80 fixed to the support member 40 are fitted in a state where the taper portion 83b of the second convex portion 83 and the taper portion 73b of the concave portion 73 for rotation prevention are not rattling. By doing so, it becomes possible to suppress rattling of the outer cylinder 60 that supports the seat portion 14. Therefore, when the seat portion 14 returns to the initial position, the taper portion 83b of the second convex portion 83 moves in the axial direction and engages with the taper portion 73b of the concave portion for rotation 73, thereby Positioning the stop position of the seat portion 14 in the circumferential direction at a predetermined position when the seat portion 14 is returned to the initial position without any shakiness between the guide member 70 and the axial direction and the circumferential direction. Can do.

そのため、座部14を支持する外筒60と回動部材90との間のがたつきによる座部14の初期位置のずれが解消され、座部14を回動させて離席した場合に、座部14を所定の初期位置に正確に復帰させることが可能になる。また、ウェーブワッシャ122により案内部材70の内周側では、スラスト軸受120、回動部材90、昇降部材80に軸力を与えることができ、それらの間の遊びを抑えることができるので、さらに座部14の初期位置のずれが解消される。   Therefore, the deviation of the initial position of the seat portion 14 due to the rattling between the outer cylinder 60 that supports the seat portion 14 and the rotating member 90 is eliminated, and when the seat portion 14 is turned away, It is possible to accurately return the seat portion 14 to a predetermined initial position. Further, on the inner peripheral side of the guide member 70 by the wave washer 122, axial force can be applied to the thrust bearing 120, the rotating member 90, and the elevating member 80, and play between them can be suppressed. The deviation of the initial position of the part 14 is eliminated.

また、昇降部材80は、円筒形状の内周に軸線方向に貫通する挿通孔84を有する。挿通孔84には、外筒60が挿通され、且つ外筒60に対して軸方向(昇降方向)にのみ移動可能に設けられる。さらに、昇降部材80の底部には、ばね部材100の上端が当接するばね受け用の凹部85が形成されている。   The elevating member 80 has an insertion hole 84 penetrating in the axial direction on the inner periphery of the cylindrical shape. The outer cylinder 60 is inserted into the insertion hole 84 and is provided so as to be movable only in the axial direction (up and down direction) with respect to the outer cylinder 60. Furthermore, a spring receiving recess 85 with which the upper end of the spring member 100 abuts is formed at the bottom of the elevating member 80.

図6Aは回動位置復帰機構の回動部材を示す平面図である。図6Bは図6A中E−E線に沿う縦断面図である。図6Cは図6A中F−F線に沿う縦断面図である。   FIG. 6A is a plan view showing a rotation member of the rotation position return mechanism. 6B is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line EE in FIG. 6A. 6C is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line FF in FIG. 6A.

図6A乃至図6Cに示されるように、回動部材90は、円筒形状の上面に傾斜面91が形成されている。傾斜面91は、前述した昇降部材80の傾斜面81と同様に、最低位置PAと最高位置PBとの間に左右対称に配置される。また、傾斜面91の水平方向(または軸方向)に対する傾斜角度は、昇降部材81の傾斜面81の傾斜角度とほぼ同一角度となるように形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 6A to 6C, the rotating member 90 has an inclined surface 91 formed on a cylindrical upper surface. The inclined surface 91 is disposed symmetrically between the lowest position PA and the highest position PB, similarly to the inclined surface 81 of the elevating member 80 described above. Further, the inclination angle of the inclined surface 91 with respect to the horizontal direction (or the axial direction) is formed to be substantially the same as the inclination angle of the inclined surface 81 of the elevating member 81.

回動部材90の挿通孔94は、軸方向からみると、外筒60の外周形状に対応する長円形に形成されており、内周側の平面部分には、シリンダ機構130の外筒60を挟持するシリンダ挟持機構190が設けられている。シリンダ挟持機構190は、一対の可変係合部材200と、一対の板バネ210とから構成されている。   The insertion hole 94 of the rotating member 90 is formed in an oval shape corresponding to the outer peripheral shape of the outer cylinder 60 when viewed from the axial direction, and the outer cylinder 60 of the cylinder mechanism 130 is formed on a flat portion on the inner peripheral side. A cylinder clamping mechanism 190 for clamping is provided. The cylinder clamping mechanism 190 includes a pair of variable engagement members 200 and a pair of leaf springs 210.

可変係合部材200は、縦断面形状がL字状に形成されており、取付孔95の寸法形状に対応している。すなわち、可変係合部材200は、内周開口93より挿通孔94に突出する突部202と、底部開口92の側壁に対向するように突部202より下方に延在するストッパ部204とを有する。また、可変係合部材200は、回動部材90の底部開口92に挿入された板バネ210により内周側に押圧されている。   The variable engagement member 200 has an L-shaped longitudinal cross-section and corresponds to the dimensional shape of the mounting hole 95. That is, the variable engagement member 200 includes a protrusion 202 that protrudes from the inner peripheral opening 93 into the insertion hole 94 and a stopper portion 204 that extends downward from the protrusion 202 so as to face the side wall of the bottom opening 92. . The variable engagement member 200 is pressed to the inner peripheral side by a leaf spring 210 inserted into the bottom opening 92 of the rotating member 90.

さらに、回動部材90の挿通孔94の内壁には、可変係合部材200の突部202が内側に突出するための内周開口93が設けられている。内周開口93と底部開口92とは、L字状の取付孔95により連通されている。取付孔95には、可変係合部材200と、板バネ210とが挿入されている。   Furthermore, the inner wall of the insertion hole 94 of the rotation member 90 is provided with an inner peripheral opening 93 for the protrusion 202 of the variable engagement member 200 to protrude inward. The inner peripheral opening 93 and the bottom opening 92 are communicated with each other through an L-shaped attachment hole 95. A variable engagement member 200 and a leaf spring 210 are inserted into the attachment hole 95.

従って、回動部材90の挿通孔94にシリンダ機構130の外筒60が挿通されると、可変係合部材200の突部202が外筒60の外周に当接する。なお、外筒60の外周形状を多角形とし、可変係合部材200の突部202が当接する位置を平坦面とすることにより回動部材90とシリンダ130の外筒60の間の隙間をさらに抑えることができる。これにより、可変係合部材200の突部202は、外側に変位すると共に、板ばね210を圧縮し、板ばね210のバネ力を増大させる。この板ばね210のバネ力が可変係合部材200の突部202を介して外筒60の外周に対して180度の方向から同時に作用する。   Therefore, when the outer cylinder 60 of the cylinder mechanism 130 is inserted into the insertion hole 94 of the rotating member 90, the protrusion 202 of the variable engagement member 200 comes into contact with the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 60. In addition, the outer peripheral shape of the outer cylinder 60 is a polygon, and the gap between the rotating member 90 and the outer cylinder 60 of the cylinder 130 is further increased by making the position where the protrusion 202 of the variable engagement member 200 abuts a flat surface. Can be suppressed. As a result, the protrusion 202 of the variable engagement member 200 is displaced outward, compresses the leaf spring 210, and increases the spring force of the leaf spring 210. The spring force of the leaf spring 210 acts simultaneously from the direction of 180 degrees on the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 60 via the protrusion 202 of the variable engagement member 200.

これにより、外筒60は、回動部材90に対してがたつきの無い安定した状態に保持される。よって、回動部材90とシリンダ機構130の外筒60との間の隙間によるがたつきを無くして座部14を初期位置に復帰させる際の座部14の復帰位置のずれを抑制することができる。そのため、座部14を支持する外筒60と回動部材90との間のがたつきによる座部14の初期位置のずれが解消され、座部14を回動させて離席した場合に、座部14を所定の初期位置に正確に復帰させることが可能になる。   As a result, the outer cylinder 60 is held in a stable state without rattling with respect to the rotating member 90. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the shift of the return position of the seat portion 14 when the seat portion 14 is returned to the initial position by eliminating the backlash due to the gap between the rotating member 90 and the outer cylinder 60 of the cylinder mechanism 130. it can. Therefore, the deviation of the initial position of the seat portion 14 due to the rattling between the outer cylinder 60 that supports the seat portion 14 and the rotating member 90 is eliminated, and when the seat portion 14 is turned away, It is possible to accurately return the seat portion 14 to a predetermined initial position.

尚、挟持機構190は、外筒60の外周を少なくとも2箇所以上で挟持する構成であれば良いので、例えば、可変係合部材200及び板ばね210を3箇所または4箇所に配置しても良い。また、板ばね210の代わりに可変係合部材200を内側に押圧する弾性部材(例えば、ゴム部材)を用いても良い。   Note that the clamping mechanism 190 only needs to be configured to clamp the outer periphery of the outer cylinder 60 at least at two or more locations. For example, the variable engagement member 200 and the leaf spring 210 may be arranged at three or four locations. . Moreover, you may use the elastic member (for example, rubber member) which presses the variable engagement member 200 inside instead of the leaf | plate spring 210. FIG.
