  Finally, the case K1, the cover K2, and the wiring board 19 of the vehicle shift device 500 will be described. First, the case K1 of the vehicle shift device 500 is manufactured by bending a steel plate, which is a soft magnetic material, and has an opening K1k with one side opened as shown in FIG. It is formed in a box shape. The case K1 houses the main part of the operating device 101, the wiring board 19, and the like.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the case K1 has four first holes provided on the ceiling surface with the first through hole K1a provided at the center of the ceiling surface and the shift knob 50N (operation shaft 11) interposed therebetween. 2 through-holes K1b and four third through-holes K1c (two third through-holes on the side surface on the Y1 direction shown in FIG. 1) provided on a pair of opposing side surfaces (surfaces on the Y-direction side shown in FIG. 1).

  Here, the shift operation of the vehicle shift device 500 using the operation device 101 in the first embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram for specifically explaining the operation of the vehicle shift device 500. FIG. 5 (a) is a plan view showing a vehicle shift arrangement (shift pattern), and FIG. ) Is a plan view showing the position of the shift knob 50N. The shift pattern shown in FIG. 5A is displayed on a display unit provided on the above-described instrument panel or the like. Further, the position position shown in FIG. 5B is a schematic view of the position where the operation member 1 is moved by operating the shift knob 50N (operation member 1).

  The vehicle shift device 500 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is applied to an electronically controlled vehicle, not a mechanically controlled vehicle in which the shift knob 50N is directly connected to the transmission. Therefore, the vehicle shift operation is performed using only the shift position information signal transmitted from the operation device 101. This shift position is shown in the shift pattern displayed on the display part provided in the instrument panel etc. which were mentioned above.

  For example, when the shift knob 50N (operation member 1) is located at the second position P2 shown in FIG. 5B and the shift position is located in the neutral mode “N” shown in FIG. 5A, the shift knob 50N is moved in the Y1 direction. 5B, the information signal that the shift position has moved to the reverse mode “R” shown in FIG. 5A is transmitted to the vehicle side. The shift operation is performed. Then, since the operator releases the shift knob 50N because the operation is completed, the shift knob 50N automatically returns and returns to the second position P2.

  In the subsequent operation, when the shift knob 50N located at the second position P2 is tilted in the Y2 direction and operated in order of the rear first position S23 and the rear second position S24 shown in FIG. The shift position in R ”is moved in order to the neutral mode“ N ”and the drive mode“ D ”shown in FIG. In response to this operation, an information signal indicating that the shift position has moved to the drive mode “D” shown in FIG. 5A is transmitted to the vehicle side, and the vehicle is shifted. Then, since the operator releases the shift knob 50N because the operation is completed, the shift knob 50N automatically returns and returns to the second position P2.

  In this way, the vehicle shift device 500 sets the automatic operation position, which is the reference position, to the operation device 101 for the automatic operation having the reverse mode “R”, the neutral mode “N”, and the drive mode “D”. The member 1 is used by being assigned to the second position P2. At this time, as described above, in order to switch from the reverse mode “R” to the drive mode “D”, the operating member 1 of the operating device 101 has two stages in the Y2 direction with the rear first stage position S23 and the rear second stage position S24. Can be tilted. Similarly, in order to switch from the drive mode “D” to the reverse mode “R”, the operating member 1 of the operating device 101 moves in the Y1 direction with the front one-stage position S21 and the front two-stage position S22 shown in FIG. It can be tilted in two steps. Note that the direction of movement of the operating member 1 of the operating device 101 in the Y direction, the so-called tilt direction, is assigned as the second direction D2 of the vehicle shift operation.

  On the other hand, for example, when the drive mode “D” shown in FIG. 5A has a shift position, the shift knob 50N positioned at the second position P2 is tilted in the X2 direction, and the operation member 1 shown in FIG. In the first position P1, the shift position in the drive mode “D” moves to the manual mode “M” shown in FIG. At this time, even if the operator releases his hand from the shift knob 50N, the operation member 1 (shift knob 50N) remains at the first position P1 and maintains the tilted state of the operation member 1 as it is.

  In the subsequent operation, when the shift knob 50N located at the first position P1 is tilted in the Y1 direction to the forward position S11 shown in FIG. 5B, the upshift mode “+” shown in FIG. An information signal indicating that the shift position has been moved is transmitted to the vehicle side, and a vehicle upshift operation is performed. Similarly, when the shift knob 50N located at the first position P1 is tilted in the Y2 direction to the rear position S13 shown in FIG. 5B, the shift position is changed to the shift down mode “−” shown in FIG. An information signal indicating that the vehicle has moved is transmitted to the vehicle side, and a downshift operation of the vehicle is performed.

  In this manner, the vehicle shift device 500 sets the manual operation position as the reference position of the operation member 1 of the operation device 101 to the manual operation having the upshift mode “+” and the downshift mode “−”. It is assigned to 1 position P1. The movement direction in the X direction in which the operation member 1 of the operation device 101 moves between the first position P1 and the second position P2, that is, the so-called tilt direction, is assigned as the first direction D1 of the shift operation of the vehicle. . 3 and 4 also illustrate the first direction D1 and the second direction D2 of the tilting operation for easy understanding.

  Next, the operation device 101 will be described.

  Next, the stopper part 6 of the operating device 101 will be described. The stopper portion 6 has a function of stopping the tilting operation of the opposing magnetic body TM when the operation member 1 is tilted from the reference position (first position P1 or second position P2) and positioned at the next plurality of positions. doing. That is, in 1st Embodiment of this invention, it is provided in the fixing member 3 and the inclination member 23 which are clamping a part of opposing side magnetic body TM.

  Hereinafter, the movement of the operating device 101 in the second direction D2 and the details of the stopper portion 6 will be described with reference to the side view of FIG. 10A and the schematic diagrams shown in FIGS. 16 and 17. The movement in the second direction D2 is performed by the operator's tilting operation using the first position P1 or the second position P2 as a reference position (see FIG. 6B). The movement using the second position P2 as a reference position will be described in detail. 16A and 16B are schematic diagrams for explaining the operation of the controller device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 16A is a diagram of a reference position, and FIG. It is a figure of the state inclined in the direction (Y1 direction), and FIG.16 (c) is a figure of the state inclined in one direction (Y1 direction) further from FIG.16 (b). FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram for explaining the operation of the controller device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 17A is a diagram of the same reference position as FIG. 17 (b) is a diagram in a state of being tilted in the other direction (Y2 direction), and FIG. 17 (c) is a diagram in a state of being tilted in the other direction (Y2 direction) further than in FIG. 17 (b).

  First, when the operating member 1 is tilted in one direction (the Y1 direction shown in FIG. 15) from the reference position (second position P2) shown in FIG. 16A by the operator, the tilting shaft (first tilting axis). The operation member 1 is rotated about the rotation axis 21j, and the first pressing portion 1p of the base body portion 12 on the tilting operation side presses the first movable-side magnetic body MF14 on the one-direction side, thereby causing the first movable The side magnetic body MF14 moves downward. On the other hand, the stopper portion 6 (stopper portion 6a shown in FIG. 12) provided on the tilting member 23 sandwiching the convex portion HD4t of the first facing-side magnetic body TF14 on the tilting operation side is the first facing-side magnetic body TF14. As shown in FIG. 16B, the first movable-side magnetic body MF14 and the first opposing-side magnetic body TF14 are no longer attracted to each other. Then, the operation member 1 comes to be positioned from the reference position (second position P2) to the front one-stage position S21 (see FIG. 5B). Therefore, the change from the strong suction state to the weak suction state can provide a feeling of moderation (click feeling) when moving from the second position P2 to the previous one-stage position S21.

  Further, when the operator continues the tilting operation in one direction (Y1 direction), the operation member 1 is further rotated and is on the side opposite to the tilting operation side (Y2 direction side shown in FIG. 15). The second pressing portion 1q of the base body portion 12 presses the second movable side magnetic body MF24 on the opposite side, and the second movable side magnetic body MF24 moves upward. On the other hand, the stopper portion 6 (stopper portion 6b shown in FIG. 13B) provided on the fixing member 3 sandwiching the convex portion HD4t of the second opposite-side magnetic body TF24 on the opposite side is the second opposite-side magnetism. Since the tilting operation of the body TF24 is stopped, as shown in FIG. 16C, the adsorption of the second movable side magnetic body MF24 and the second opposing side magnetic body TF24 is released. Then, the operation member 1 comes to be positioned from the front one-stage position S21 to the front two-stage position S22 (see FIG. 5B). Accordingly, the change from the strong suction state to the weak suction state makes it possible to obtain a feeling of moderation (click feeling) when moving from the front one-stage position S21 to the front two-stage position S22.

  In the operating device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, when the operating member 1 is tilted in one direction by the operator, the first opposing magnetic body TF14 stopped by the stopper portion 6a. And the first movable-side magnetic body MF14 are desorbed, and the second opposing-side magnetic body TF24 and the second movable-side magnetic body MF24, which are stopped by the stopper 6b, are desorbed. Thereby, the movable side magnetic body MM and the opposing side magnetic body TM can be easily separated from each other (front one-stage position S21, front two-stage position S22). Therefore, it is possible to easily manufacture the operating device 101 having a moderation feeling.

  Further, in the first embodiment of the present invention, the operating member 1 is tilted in the Y1 direction, and the movable side magnetic body MM (first movable side) as shown in the examples of FIGS. 16 (b) and 16 (c). When the magnetic body MF14 and the second movable side magnetic body MF24) and the opposed side magnetic body TM (the first opposed side magnetic body TF14 and the second opposed side magnetic body TF24) are separated from each other, the movable side magnetic body MM is opposed to the opposite side magnetic body MM. The movable-side magnetic body MM and the opposing-side magnetic body TM are disposed at positions where the attractive force acting between the magnetic bodies TM does not disappear. Thereby, in each position (front 1 step position S21, front 2 step position S22), when the force of the tilting operation by the operator is removed, the movable side magnetic body MM and the opposing side magnetic body TM that have been peeled off are removed. Are sucked again by the mutual suction force. Accordingly, the operation member 1 can be automatically returned to the reference position without using an urging member for automatic return.

  In addition to the arrangement positional relationship between the plurality of movable side magnetic bodies MM and the plurality of opposed side magnetic bodies TM described above, the plurality of movable side magnetic bodies MM are opposed to the plurality of opposed positions in the following arrangement positional relationship. A side magnetic body TM may be provided. That is, after the first pair of first magnetic bodies MT14 and the second magnetic body MT24 are separated from each other, the first pair of first magnetic bodies MT14 and the second magnetic body MT24 are separated from each other. When the first magnetic body MT14 and the second magnetic body MT24 are separated from each other by arranging the first magnetic body MT14 and the second magnetic body MT24 so that the attractive force acting between them is not lost. Even if the attractive force acting between the first pair of the first magnetic body MT14 and the second magnetic body MT24 disappears, the next pair of the first magnetic body MT14 and the second magnetic body MT24 are placed between them. It may be arranged at a position where the working suction force does not disappear. Thus, when the force of the tilting operation by the operator is removed, first, the next pair of first magnetic body MT14 and second magnetic body MT24 are attracted, and then the first pair of first first body MT14. Since the magnetic body MT14 and the second magnetic body MT24 are attracted, the operation member 1 can be automatically returned to the reference position without using an urging member or the like for automatic return.

  In the first embodiment of the present invention, since another set of the first movable side magnetic body MF14 and the second movable side magnetic body MF24 is provided, the movement in the Y1 direction as described above is performed by the operator in the Y2 direction. Also in the case of the tilting operation in the direction, the same operation is performed as follows.

  First, when the operating member 1 is tilted in the other direction (Y2 direction shown in FIG. 15) from the reference position (second position P2) shown in FIG. 17A by the operator, the tilting axis (first tilting axis). The operation member 1 is rotated about the rotation axis 21j, and the first pressing portion 1p of the base body portion 12 on the tilting operation side presses the first movable-side magnetic body MF14 on the other direction side, and the first movable The side magnetic body MF14 moves downward. On the other hand, the stopper portion 6 (stopper portion 6c shown in FIG. 12) provided on the tilting member 23 sandwiching the convex portion HD4t of the second facing side magnetic body TF24 on the tilting operation side is the second facing side magnetic body TF24. As shown in FIG. 17B, the first movable-side magnetic body MF14 and the second opposing-side magnetic body TF24 are no longer attracted to each other. Then, the operation member 1 comes to be positioned at the rear first position S23 (see FIG. 5B) from the reference position (second position P2). Accordingly, the change from the strong suction state to the weak suction state provides a moderation feeling (click feeling) when moving from the second position P2 to the subsequent one-stage position S23.

  Further, when the operator continues the tilting operation in the other direction (Y2 direction), the operation member 1 is further rotated and is on the side opposite to the tilting operation side (Y1 direction side shown in FIG. 15). The second pressing portion 1q of the base body portion 12 presses the second movable side magnetic body MF24 on the opposite side, and the second movable side magnetic body MF24 moves upward. On the other hand, the stopper portion 6 (the stopper portion 6d shown in FIG. 13B) provided on the fixing member 3 that holds the convex portion HD4t of the first opposite-side magnetic body TF14 on the opposite side is the first opposite-side magnetism. Since the tilting operation of the body TF14 is stopped, the second movable-side magnetic body MF24 and the first opposing-side magnetic body TF14 are separated from each other as shown in FIG. Then, the operation member 1 is positioned from the first rear position S23 to the second rear position S24 (see FIG. 5B). Accordingly, the change from the strong suction state to the weak suction state makes it possible to obtain a feeling of moderation (click feeling) when moving from the rear first position S23 to the rear second position S24.

  In the operating device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above, when the operating member 1 is tilted in the other direction by the operator, the second opposing-side magnetic body TF24 stopped by the stopper portion 6c. And the first movable-side magnetic body MF14 are separated from each other, and then the first opposed-side magnetic body TF14 and the second movable-side magnetic body MF24, which are stopped by the stopper portion 6d, are separated from each other. Accordingly, the movable side magnetic body MM and the opposing side magnetic body TM can be easily separated from each other (rear first stage position S23 to rear second stage position S24). In this way, the operating device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can cope with tilting operations in other directions without increasing the number of opposing magnetic bodies TM, and has a moderation feeling. The device 101 can be easily manufactured.

  As described above, the stopper portion 6 of the operating device 101 is provided corresponding to each of the plurality of positions where the operating member 1 is positioned in response to the tilting operation from the reference position by the operator. That is, the front position S11 and the front first stage position S21 shown in FIG. 5B are the stopper part 6a, the front two stage position S22 is the stopper part 6b, the rear position S13 and the rear first stage position S23 are the stopper part 6c, A stopper portion 6d is provided corresponding to the rear two-stage position S24.

  As described above, the controller device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can perform a tilting operation in the second direction D2. That is, when the operation member 1 is tilted from the reference position and is positioned at a plurality of positions, the operation member 1 has the stopper portions 6 (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) corresponding to the plurality of positions, respectively. From the reference position (second position P2) to the next position (front 1st position S21 or rear 1st position S23), from the next position (front 1st position S21 or rear 1st position S23) to the next position (front 2) When switching to the stage position S22 or the rear two stage position S24), the opposing side magnetic body TM (first opposing side) is provided by the stopper part 6 (stopper part 6a or stopper part 6c, stopper part 6b or stopper part 6d) provided respectively. The tilting operation of the side magnetic body TF14 and the second opposing side magnetic body TF24) is stopped. For example, when the operation member 1 is located at the first position P1 (reference position), the operation member 1 is provided for switching from the reference position (first position P1) to the next position (front position S11 or rear position S13). The tilting operation of the opposing magnetic body TM (first opposing magnetic body TF14, second opposing magnetic body TF24) is stopped by the stopper 6 (stopper 6a or stopper 6c).

  Thus, at each position (front one-stage position S21 or front position S11, front two-stage position S22, rear one-stage position S23 or rear position S13, rear two-stage position S24), the movable side magnetic body MM and the opposite side magnetic body The TM is peeled off and separated from each other, and a moderation feeling can be obtained by changing from a strong suction state to a weak suction state at that time. As a result, compared with the conventional example, since there is no sliding mechanism in the portion that generates a sense of moderation, the durability of the controller device 101 is excellent.

  Finally, the changing unit S8 of the controller device 101 will be described. FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram for explaining the operation of the changing unit S8 in the operating device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The changing means S8 is a means for changing the relative position between the movable side magnetic body MM and the opposing side magnetic body TM, and is configured using a screw mechanism with a simple structure. That is, as the screw mechanism of the changing means S8, the first bolt 81 (male screw) provided in the Y direction shown in FIG. 9 and the hole HD4h (see FIG. 14) of the holder HD4 of the opposing magnetic body TM were cut. The screw groove (female screw) and the screw groove (female screw) cut in the hole MMh (see FIG. 14) of the second bolt 82 (male screw) provided in the Z direction and the movable side magnetic body MM shown in FIG. ) Is used. As shown in FIG. 15, the changing means S8 is disposed in the vicinity of the opposing magnetic body TM, and the first bolt 81 of the changing means S8 is engaged with (screwed into) the holder HD4 of the opposing magnetic body TM. In addition, the second bolt 82 of the changing means S8 is engaged with (screwed into) the hole MMh of the movable-side magnetic body MM and is in contact with or can contact the opposing-side magnetic body TM. It is arranged. Although not shown, the first bolt 81 is rotatable, but is restrained by, for example, the case K1, and movement in the horizontal direction (Y direction) is restricted.

  The changing means S8 configured in this way first moves the holder HD4 containing the permanent magnet EM4 in the horizontal direction (Y1 direction and Y2 direction shown in FIG. 18) by rotating the first bolt 81. The horizontal position of the opposing magnetic body TM can be easily moved. Thereby, the distance (L1 shown in FIG. 18) between the tilting shaft 21j and the facing side magnetic body TM can be changed by changing the position of the facing side magnetic body TM with respect to the tilting shaft 21j. As a result, the distance (interval distance, L1) between the position (action point) at which the attractive force between the opposing magnetic body TM and the movable magnetic body MM acts and the position (fulcrum) of the tilt shaft 21j changes. From the relationship (L1 / L2 Labor ratio) between the position (power point) operated by and the distance (L2 shown in FIG. 18) between the position of the tilting shaft 21j and the force received by the operator Will change. Specifically, when the interval distance (L1) is increased, the force applied to the operator can be increased, and when the interval distance (L1) is decreased, the force applied to the operator can be decreased.

  On the other hand, the changing means S8 rotates the second bolt 82 to move the permanent magnet EM4 in the vertical direction (the Z1 direction and the Z2 direction shown in FIG. 18), so that the opposing side magnetic body TM is positioned in the vertical direction. Can be moved easily. Thereby, the distance between the movable side magnetic body MM and the opposing side magnetic body TM can be changed, and the attractive force acting between the movable side magnetic body MM and the opposing side magnetic body TM can be changed. For example, when the first opposing magnetic body TF14 is moved upward (Z1 direction side shown in FIG. 18), the attractive force between the first opposing magnetic body TF14 and the first movable magnetic body MF14 is reduced, and The attractive force between the first opposing magnetic body TF14 and the second movable magnetic body MF24 can be improved. For this reason, when the operator performs a tilting operation in one direction (Y1 direction), the force received by the operator with respect to the tilting operation to the first position (first tilting operation) can be weakened. At the same time, when the tilting operation is performed in the other direction (Y2 direction side), the force received by the operator with respect to the second-stage tilting operation can be increased. In this way, the force received by the operator can be easily changed.

  In this way, the position of the opposing magnetic body TM can be easily moved by a simple operation of turning the screws (the first bolt 81 and the second bolt 82). The operation feeling can be easily changed. Further, since the changing unit S8 is configured by using a screw mechanism having a simple structure, the operating device 101 can be easily manufactured.

  As described above, since the operating device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can suitably perform the tilting operation in the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, it is shown in FIG. The present invention can be suitably applied to a vehicle shift device 500 having a shift arrangement (shift pattern). That is, in the tilting operation of the operating device 101 in the first direction D1, the tilting operation between the first position P1 and the second position P2 of the operating member 1 can be performed, and the vehicle shift device 500 has the manual mode “M”. And a drive mode “D” can be performed with a modest shift operation. Further, in the tilting operation of the controller device 101 in the second direction D2, each position (front first stage position S21 or front position S11, front two stage position S22, second position P2 or first position P1, rear first stage position S23). Alternatively, the tilting operation between the rear position S13 and the rear two-stage position S24) can be performed, and the vehicle shift device 500 can perform a shifting operation with a sense of moderation in the reverse mode “R”, the neutral mode “N”, and the drive mode “D”. It can be performed. Moreover, since there is no sliding mechanism at the portion where the moderation feeling is generated as compared with the conventional example, the vehicle shift device 500 having excellent durability can be provided.
