  As shown in FIG. 6 and the like, one end 62 </ b> A of the second torsion coil spring 62 is locked to the pole 45. The other end 62 </ b> B of the second torsion coil spring 62 is locked to the fork 41. The second torsion coil spring 62 exerts a second urging force F <b> 2 against the pole 45. The second urging force F2 urges the pole 45 to swing clockwise around the pole axis X45 toward the paper surface of FIG. Further, the second torsion coil spring 62 exerts a third biasing force F <b> 3 against the fork 41. The third urging force F3 urges the fork 41 to swing counterclockwise around the fork axis X41 toward the paper surface of FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a back plate 18 is assembled to the fork support shaft 16A and the pole support shaft 16B from the inside of the vehicle. The back plate 18 restricts the fork 41, the pole 45, and the second torsion coil spring 62 from being detached from the fork support shaft 16A and the pole support shaft 16B. Further, the first torsion coil spring 61 is also regulated by the back plate 18 so as not to be detached from the spring support portion 12T.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the damper 41D is a rubber block body. The damper 41D is attached to a damper holding recess 16D formed in the front and upper part of the latch mechanism housing recess 16G. When the fork 41 swinging around the fork axis X41 is displaced from the position shown in FIGS. 10, 12, and 13 to the position shown in FIG. 6, the fork 41 stops against the damper 41D to absorb the impact.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the portion of the fork 41 that protrudes below the fork support shaft 16 </ b> A is branched into a first convex portion 41 </ b> A on the front side and a second convex portion 41 </ b> B on the rear side. . And between the 1st convex part 41A and the 2nd convex part 41B, the notch part 41C dented upward in the shape of a groove | channel is formed. A latch surface 41R is formed at a portion of the fork 41 that protrudes upward from the fork support shaft 16A.

  When the fork 41 is in the position shown in FIG. 6, the first convex portion 41 </ b> A on the front side is located above the engaged portion 28 of the output rod 20. The rear second convex portion 41 </ b> B protrudes below the engaged portion 28 of the output rod 20. The position of the fork 41 shown in FIG. 6 is an unlatched position. When the fork 41 is in the unlatched position shown in FIG. 6, the engaged portion 28 that has entered the notch 41 </ b> C is displaced to the front without being restricted by the front first convex portion 41 </ b> A. It can be detached from the portion 41C. The fork 41 is biased toward the unlatched position by the third biasing force F3 of the second torsion coil spring 62.

  When the fork 41 is displaced from the position shown in FIG. 6 to the position shown in FIG. 10, the first convex portion 41 </ b> A on the front side and the second convex portion 41 </ b> B on the rear side are lower than the engaged portion 28 of the output rod 20. Protrude until. The position of the fork 41 shown in FIG. 10 is a latch position. When the fork 41 is in the latch position shown in FIG. 10, the engaged portion 28 in the state of entering the notch 41C is restricted by the first convex portion 41A on the front side, and is in the state of entering the notch 41C. The front cannot be displaced.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a stopper surface 45 </ b> R is formed at a portion of the pole 45 that protrudes forward from the pole support shaft 16 </ b> B. A release portion 48 is formed in a portion of the pole 45 that protrudes below the pole support shaft 16B. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 10, the release portion 48 is positioned on the front side with respect to the extending portion 37 </ b> B of the external operation mechanism 37 and can come into contact with the extending portion 37 </ b> B that swings forward.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a pole operating portion 49 is formed at a portion of the pole 45 that protrudes rearward from the pole support shaft 16 </ b> B. The pole operation part 49 protrudes toward the vehicle outer side. As shown in FIG. 1, the second housing 16 has an opening 16 </ b> H that is long in the vertical direction. The pole operation portion 49 passes through the opening 16H and is exposed to the outside of the second housing 16.

  When the fork 41 is displaced from the unlatched position shown in FIG. 6 to the latched position shown in FIG. 10, the pawl 45 is oscillated by the second urging force F2 of the second torsion coil spring 62, and the stopper surface 45R is moved. It abuts on the latch surface 41R of the fork 41 from the rear side. The position of the pole 45 shown in FIG. 10 is a block position. When the pawl 45 is in the block position shown in FIG. 10, the fork 41 blocks the change from the latch position shown in FIG. 10 to the unlatching position shown in FIG. The pole 45 is biased toward the block position by the second biasing force F <b> 2 of the second torsion coil spring 62.

  As shown in FIGS. 6 and 12, when the pole 45 swings against the second urging force F2 of the second torsion coil spring 62, the stopper surface 45R is separated from the latch surface 41R of the fork 41, and the fork 41 Is swung by the third urging force F3 of the second torsion coil spring 62. The position of the pole 45 shown in FIGS. 6 and 12 is an unblock position. When the pawl 45 is in the unblock position shown in FIGS. 6 and 12, the fork 41 is allowed to change from the latch position shown in FIG. 10 to the unlatch position shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the pole 45 is displaced to the unblocked position when the extending portion 37B of the external operating mechanism 37 swings forward and the releasing portion 48 is pushed by the extending portion 37B. When the pole 45 is in the block position, the portion exposed from the opening 16H of the pole operating portion 49 is at the position indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The pole 45 is also displaced to the unblocked position when the user manually pushes down the portion exposed from the opening 16H of the pole operating portion 49 to the position indicated by the solid line in FIG.

  In the lid lock device 1 of the embodiment having such a configuration, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 9, no operation is performed, and the electric motor M1 is not powered by the control unit C1. The electric motor M1 is stopped and can be driven. In this state, as shown in FIG. 6, the first torsion coil spring 61 exerts a first biasing force F1 that biases the output rod 20 toward the holding position on the front side. The operation mechanism 30 allows the output rod 20 to be displaced from the non-holding position to the holding position by bending to the first biasing force F1.

  More specifically, when the output rod 20 is displaced to the front side, the pressing portion 38 of the external operation mechanism 37 is pushed back by the passive portion 27 and is displaced to the front side, and the external operation mechanism 37 swings. Then, the swing of the external operation mechanism 37 is transmitted to the electric motor M1 via the transmission shaft 34 and the internal operation mechanism 31, and the electric motor M1 is driven.

  The latch mechanism 40 allows the output rod 20 to be displaced from the non-holding position to the holding position because the fork 41 is in the unlatched position and does not restrict the engaged portion 28.

  As a result, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 9, the output rod 20 is held at the holding position in a state where the electric motor M1 is not fed.

  In the lid lock device 1, when opening the lid 7 in the closed position shown in FIG. 1, the user turns on a lid lock release switch (not shown) provided in the vehicle. Then, as shown in the timing chart of FIG. 9, the control unit C1 feeds the electric motor M1 and rotates the electric motor M1 in a forward direction at the timing when the control unit C1 may open the lid 7.

  When the electric motor M1 rotates forward and the operation mechanism 30 is driven by the electric motor M1, the worm wheel 33 of the internal operation mechanism 31 moves from the position shown in FIG. 7 to the position shown in FIG. 11 around the swing axis X2. Swing. Then, as shown in FIG. 10, the external operating mechanism 37 is interlocked with the internal operating mechanism 31 by the transmission shaft 34. Then, the pressing portion 38 of the external operating mechanism 37 is displaced rearward, pressing the passive portion 27 of the output rod 20 against the first biasing force F1 of the first torsion coil spring 61, and Displace back. Thus, the operating mechanism 30 displaces the output rod 20 from the holding position to the non-holding position.

  At this time, the engaged portion 28 of the output rod 20 is also displaced rearward. The engaged portion 28 enters the notch portion 41 </ b> C while pressing the second convex portion 41 </ b> B of the fork 41 of the latch mechanism 40 against the third biasing force F <b> 3 of the second torsion coil spring 62. Then, the fork 41 is displaced from the unlatched position shown in FIG. 6 to the latched position shown in FIG. The pole 45 is biased by the second biasing force F2 of the second torsion coil spring 62 and displaced to the block position shown in FIG. 10, and the fork 41 changes from the latch position shown in FIG. 10 to the unlatching position shown in FIG. To block. Thus, the latch mechanism 40 holds the output rod 20 displaced to the non-holding position at the non-holding position against the first biasing force F1 of the first torsion coil spring 61.

  As shown in the timing chart of FIG. 9, the control unit C1 waits for the timing at which the output rod 20 is displaced to the non-holding position, makes the electric motor M1 non-powered, and stops the electric motor M1. The latch mechanism 40 holds the output rod 20 in the non-holding position regardless of whether or not the power supply to the electric motor M1 is continued.

  As a result, the holding convex portion 21 displaced rearward is not engaged with the lid body 7, so that the lid body 7 is not held in the closed position shown in FIG. As a result, the lid 7 can open the opening in which the fuel filler port or the charging connector is disposed. At this time, the lid body 7 may be automatically opened by being biased by a biasing means (not shown).

  Further, in this lid lock device 1, the user may manually open the lid body 7 in the closed position shown in FIG. 1 in case of emergency such as battery exhaustion or maintenance work. In this case, the user manually pulls the output rod operation portion 29 of the output rod 20 in the holding position shown in FIG. 6 to the rear side. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, the output rod 20 is displaced to the non-holding position without operating the electric motor M <b> 1 and the operating mechanism 30, and the output rod 20 is held by the latch mechanism 40. At this time, the user only has to displace the output rod 20 to the non-holding position against the first biasing force F <b> 1 of the first torsion coil spring 61.

  In the lid lock device 1, the output rod 20 held in the non-holding position by the latch mechanism 40 is returned to the holding position by a release operation described below.

  The release operation includes an automatic release operation and a manual release operation. In the automatic release operation, after the electric motor M1 that drives the operating mechanism 30 to displace the output rod 20 to the non-holding position is not supplied with power, the electric motor M1 is then supplied with power, so that the operating mechanism 30 is latched. For mechanism 40. The manual release operation is manually performed on the latch mechanism 40 by the user.

  More specifically, the control unit C1 performs an automatic release operation when, for example, refueling or charging ends and the user turns on a lid lock operation switch (not shown) provided in the vehicle. Further, for example, when the control unit C1 determines that the vehicle has started operation based on a signal from a sensor S1 such as a speedometer shown in FIG.

  As shown in the timing chart of FIG. 9, the control unit C <b> 1 supplies electric power to the electric motor M <b> 1 and reversely rotates in the automatic release operation. When the electric motor M1 rotates in the reverse direction and the operation mechanism 30 is driven by the electric motor M1, the worm wheel 33 of the internal operation mechanism 31 moves from the position shown in FIG. 11 to the position shown in FIG. 7 around the swing axis X2. Swing. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the external operating mechanism 37 is interlocked with the internal operating mechanism 31 by the transmission shaft 34. Then, the extending portion 37 </ b> B of the external operation mechanism 37 swings forward, and presses the release portion 48 of the pole 45 against the second urging force F <b> 2 of the second torsion coil spring 62. As a result, the pole 45 is displaced to the unblocked position, and the fork 41 is displaced to the unlatched position by the third urging force F3 of the second torsion coil spring 62.

  As shown in the timing chart of FIG. 9, the control unit C1 sets the electric motor M1 to be unpowered and the electric motor M1 to the electric motor M1 in response to the timing when the pole 45 is displaced to the unblocked position and the fork 41 is displaced to the unlatched position. Stop.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the fork 41 displaced to the unlatched position does not restrict the engaged portion 28, and thus allows the output rod 20 to be displaced from the non-holding position to the holding position. The first torsion coil spring 61 exerts a first biasing force F1 to bias the output rod 20 toward the front holding position. Thus, the operation mechanism 30 returns the output rod 20 to the holding position in cooperation with the first torsion coil spring 61 and the latch mechanism 40.

  The manual release operation is performed by the user in case of emergency such as battery exhaustion or maintenance work. In this case, the user pushes down the portion exposed from the opening 16H of the pole operation portion 49 shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 to the position shown by the solid line in FIG. As shown, the pole 45 is displaced to the unblock position. Thereafter, the operation until the output rod 20 returns to the holding position is the same as in the case of the automatic release operation.

  Therefore, in the lid lock device 1 of the embodiment, the output rod 20 is displaced to the holding position or the non-holding position according to various usage situations, and the lid body 7 is held in the closed position shown in FIG. The degree of freedom of operability for enabling displacement from the closed position 7 can be increased. In particular, in the lid lock device 1, the output rod 20 can be reliably returned from the non-holding position to the holding position by the automatic release operation and the manual release operation.

  Furthermore, in the lid lock device 1, the operating mechanism 30 driven by the electric motor M1 that is fed and reversely rotated acts on the release portion 48, against the second urging force F2 of the second torsion coil spring 62. The automatic release operation can be easily performed by displacing the pole 45 to the unblock position.

  Further, in the lid lock device 1, the user manually operates the pole operation unit 49 or the output rod operation unit 29 in an emergency such as battery exhaustion or during maintenance work, and the output rod 20 is held or not held. It can be displaced to a position. For this reason, in the lid lock device 1, the operability of the lid body 7 in an emergency such as battery exhaustion or maintenance work is improved. Further, when the user manually operates the pole operation unit 49, the user only has to resist the second urging force F2 of the second torsion coil spring 62, and can operate the pole operation unit 49 with a light force. Further, the electric motor M <b> 1 and the operation mechanism 30 are not directly connected to the output rod 20. For this reason, when the user manually operates the output rod operation unit 29, the electric motor M <b> 1 and the actuation mechanism 30 are unlikely to act as a resistance against the output rod 20. For this reason, the user only needs to displace the output rod 20 against the first biasing force F1 of the first torsion coil spring 61, and can operate the output rod operation unit 29 with a light force.

  Further, in the lid lock device 1, the output rod 20, the first torsion coil spring 61, and the latch mechanism 40 are disposed outside the first housing 11. Thereby, in this lid lock apparatus 1, compared with the case where the output rod 20, the 1st torsion coil spring 61, the electric motor M1, the operation mechanism 30, and the latch mechanism 40 are accommodated inside the housing 10, The housing 10 can be reduced in size. As a result, in the lid lock device 1, manufacturing costs such as material costs and mold manufacturing costs can be reduced. In this case, another type of lid lock device can be manufactured only by making a small change in which the latch mechanism 40 is eliminated and the external operation mechanism 37 and the output rod 20 are directly connected to the lid lock device 1 of the embodiment. Can do. For this reason, in a plurality of types of lid lock devices including the lid lock device 1 of the embodiment, it is possible to realize common parts.

  In the lid lock device 1, the second housing 16 that accommodates the latch mechanism 40 is disposed on the opposite side of the first housing 11 with the main body portion 22 of the output rod 20 interposed therebetween. Thereby, in this lid lock apparatus 1, size reduction in the front-back direction is realizable.

  While the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be appropriately modified and applied without departing from the spirit thereof.

  For example, as the latch mechanism, a latch mechanism can be employed so as to be employed in a knock type ballpoint pen that is held in a state in which the pen tip protrudes by the first knock operation and retracted by the second knock operation. In this case, the electric motor is only supplied with power and rotates in the forward direction, and does not have to rotate in the reverse direction.

  The housing includes a non-box body such as a base plate.

  The first biasing unit may bias the output rod toward the non-holding position, and the latch mechanism may be configured to hold the output rod in the holding position when the output rod is displaced to the holding position. .

  The present invention is applicable to vehicles such as automobiles, buses, and industrial vehicles.
