Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle shift control device that is charged with external power.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various electric vehicles have become widespread due to concerns about environmental issues, and various vehicles that are charged with external electric power are known. As a vehicle to be charged with external power, for example, a vehicle that obtains a traveling driving force by a driving force of an electric motor or a vehicle that obtains a traveling driving force by combining a driving force of an engine and a driving force of an electric motor is known. .

  In a vehicle charged with external power, for example, an external power supply device (charging device) or a power supply plug extending from a power supply is inserted into a charging port, and power is supplied to the vehicle to perform charging. If the vehicle runs with the power plug inserted into the charging port, the power plug and the charging port may be damaged. As a technique for avoiding damage to the power supply plug and the charging port, a technique in which the operation of the shift lever is disabled while the power supply plug is inserted into the charging port has been conventionally known (for example, Patent Document 1).

  In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, even if the shift lever is shifted from the P position to the D position or the R position in a state where the power supply plug is inserted into the charging port during the power supply, the operation is invalidated. When the plug is inserted into the charging port, the vehicle can be prevented from moving. Therefore, the vehicle does not run unintentionally.

  However, even when the power supply plug is inserted into the charging port during power supply (even during charging), it may be necessary to carry out luggage, or to require occupants to enter and exit the passenger compartment. is there. Depending on the location of the vehicle being charged, luggage cannot be taken in or out of the occupants in some places.In this case, moving the vehicle within the allowable length of the power cord will allow You can get in and out. Further, even when the power supply plug is not actually inserted into the charging port, there is a possibility that the operation of the shift lever may be invalidated due to the erroneous determination of the charging determination that the charging is being determined. In this case, if the shift state of the shift lever can be changed to the neutral state (the operation can be validated), movement by a tow truck or the like becomes easy.

  In the technique disclosed in Patent Literature 1, the shift operation of the shift lever is invalidated when the power supply plug is inserted into the charging port, so that the vehicle cannot be moved during charging. For this reason, at present, it is not possible to move the vehicle a little during charging to take in / out luggage or to enter / exit occupants. Further, if the charge determination is erroneously determined, the shift operation of the shift lever is invalidated, so that it is difficult to move the vehicle.

Japanese Patent No. 5580132

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a shift control device that can enable a shift operation of a shift lever when a predetermined limit is satisfied even when a charge determination state is detected. Aim.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a shift control device for a vehicle in which electric power is supplied from an external source to perform charging, wherein the shift control device detects a charge determination state of the vehicle. Charging judgment detection means for performing, a shift lever maintained at a predetermined reference position, a restricting member for validating operation of the shift lever at the reference position when operated, and When the charge determination state is not detected, the operation amount of the limiting member is set to a first change condition amount to enable a shift operation of the shift lever from the reference position to the predetermined operation position. When the charging state of the vehicle is detected by the detecting means, the operation amount of the limiting member is a second change condition amount having a larger operation amount than the first change condition amount, and Control means for enabling a transition operation from the reference position to the predetermined operation position, wherein the limiting member is a shift lever, and an operation amount of the limiting member is a transition operation continuation time of the shift lever, When the charge determination state of the vehicle is not detected by the charge determination detection means, it is determined that the shift lever has transitioned to the operation position for a first transition operation duration time that is the first change condition amount. A second transition operation that is the second change condition amount longer than the first transition operation duration when the charge determination state of the vehicle is detected by the charge determination detection means. It is characterized in that it is determined that the shift lever has transitioned to the operation position during the continuation time, and the transition operation is validated.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the charge determination detecting means detects the charge determination state of the vehicle, the operation amount of the restricting member is the second change condition amount which is larger than the first change condition amount. Since the shift operation from the reference position of the shift lever to the predetermined operation position is enabled, even if the charge determination state is detected, when the operation amount of the limiting member increases, the predetermined operation from the reference position of the shift lever is performed. The transition operation to the position is enabled. For this reason, even if the charge determination state is detected, the shift operation of the shift lever can be made valid when the determined limit is satisfied. The shift lever that is maintained at the predetermined reference position is, for example, a shift lever that is biased to the predetermined reference position.
When the charge determination state of the vehicle is detected by the charge determination detection means, the shift lever is operated for a second transition operation duration longer than the first transition operation duration. Since the transition to the position is determined and the transition operation is validated, the transition operation of the shift lever is validated when the transition operation continuation time of the shift lever becomes long even if the charge determination state is detected. For this reason, even if the charge determination state is detected, when the shift operation continuation time of the shift lever is long, it is determined that the predetermined limit is satisfied, and the shift operation of the shift lever can be enabled. .

  The charging determination state of the vehicle is detected by the charging determination detecting means when the charging plug is inserted into the charging port, and the charging can be performed. Further, for example, when a non-contact charging device is applied, a charging determination state is detected when the vehicle is located in a predetermined chargeable range.

  The restricting member is a brake pedal, and the operation amount of the restricting member is the amount of depression of the brake pedal, and the amount of depression of the brake pedal is not detected by the charge determination detecting means in the charge determination state of the vehicle. In some cases, the shift operation of the shift lever from the reference position to the predetermined operation position is enabled by the first brake depression amount that is the first change condition amount, and the depression amount of the brake pedal is determined by the charge determination. When the charge determination state of the vehicle is detected by the detecting means, the shift lever is moved by the second brake depression amount that is the second change condition amount that is greater than the first brake depression amount. It is preferable to enable a transition operation from a reference position to the predetermined operation position.

  Thus, when the charge determination state of the vehicle is detected by the charge determination detecting means, the amount of depression of the brake pedal is the second brake depression amount larger than the first brake depression amount, and the reference of the shift lever is determined. Since the transition operation from the position to the predetermined operation position is enabled, the transition operation from the reference position of the shift lever to the predetermined operation position is performed when the amount of depression of the brake pedal increases even if the charge determination state is detected. Becomes effective. For this reason, even if the charge determination state is detected, when the depression amount of the brake pedal increases, it is determined that the predetermined limit has been satisfied, and the shift operation of the shift lever can be enabled.

  Further, the limiting member is a shift lever, the operation amount of the limiting member is a shift operation amount of the shift lever, and when the charge determination state of the vehicle is not detected by the charge determination detection means, the first operation is performed. In the operation of the first transition operation amount, which is the change condition amount of (i), it is determined that the shift lever has transitioned to the operation position to enable the transition operation, and the charging determination state of the vehicle is determined by the charging determination detecting means. When the shift lever is detected, it is determined that the shift lever has transitioned to the operation position by the operation of the second transition operation amount that is the second change condition amount of the operation amount larger than the first transition operation amount. It is preferable to make the transition operation effective.

  Thus, when the charging determination state of the vehicle is detected by the charging determination detecting means, the shift lever is shifted to the operating position by the second shift operation amount larger than the first shift operation amount. Since the transition operation is determined and the transition operation is validated, the transition operation of the shift lever becomes valid when the transition operation amount of the shift lever increases even if the charge determination state is detected. For this reason, even if the charge determination state is detected, when the shift operation amount of the shift lever increases, it is determined that the predetermined limit is satisfied, and the shift operation of the shift lever can be made valid.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the shift control device according to the first aspect, wherein the shift lever shifts from the reference position to the predetermined operation position at the second change condition amount. When the operation is validated, the operation condition of the limiting means for limiting the running of the vehicle is set as a condition.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the shift operation of the shift lever is validated with the second change condition amount, the condition of the operation of the restricting means for restricting the traveling of the vehicle is used as a condition. In association with this, an operation for intentionally enabling the shift operation of the shift lever can be performed.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the shift control device according to the second aspect, the limiting means is a parking brake, and the second change is performed when the parking brake is not operated. A transition operation from the reference position to the predetermined operation position of the shift lever is enabled by a condition amount.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the parking brake is not operated, the shift operation of the shift lever is enabled by the second change condition amount. An operation that effectively enables the shift operation of the shift lever can be performed.

  As the restricting means, a means for detecting the open / closed state of the door, a means for detecting the wearing of the seat belt, a means for detecting the inclination of the side mirror, and a seating sensor for detecting the seating of the occupant can be applied. In this case, in order to enable the shift lever transition operation with the second change condition amount, the door is opened, the seat belt is not fastened, the side mirror is folded down, the occupant is seated. Is applied, and a condition that normal driving is not performed can be used as a condition.

  The shift control device of the present invention enables the shift operation of the shift lever to be enabled when a predetermined limit is satisfied even when the charge determination state is detected.

It is an outline view of a shift lever applied to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block configuration diagram of a shift control device according to a first embodiment (reference example) of the present invention. 4 is a flowchart of a shift control device according to a first embodiment (reference example) of the present invention. FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a shift control device according to a second embodiment of the present invention. 6 is a flowchart of a shift control device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

  The shift control device of the present invention is a shift control device of a vehicle to which electric power is supplied from the outside to perform charging, and is in a charging state or in a state where charging can be performed (when a charging determination state is detected). Also, when a predetermined limit is satisfied (under a predetermined limit by the restricting member), the shift lever is shifted from a reference position (for example, a parking position: P position) to a predetermined operation position (for example, a neutral position: N). To the position).

  As the predetermined restriction by the limiting member, the amount of depression of the brake pedal, the duration of the shift operation of the shift lever, and the operation amount of the shift operation of the shift lever are applied as preconditions for enabling the shift operation of the shift lever. When the brake pedal is depressed more than usual, the shift operation of the shift lever can be validated. Further, the shift operation of the shift lever can be made effective when the shift lever is operated longer than usual or operated with a larger operation amount than usual.

  By enabling the shift lever transition operation under a predetermined restriction by the restriction member, the vehicle can be moved even during charging or in a state where charging can be performed. For this reason, it is possible to move the vehicle that is being charged or in a state in which charging can be performed, slightly, to put in and out of luggage, and to get in and out of occupants, thereby improving usability.

  A shift lever applied to the shift control device of the present invention will be described based on FIG. FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a shift lever applied to the shift control device of the present invention.

  The shift lever 1 shown in the figure is operated to shift the shift lever 1 from a reference position X (from a state shown by a solid line in the figure) to a neutral position (N position), a drive position (D position), and a retreat position (R position). By doing so (by operating in the direction indicated by the dotted arrow in the figure), the transition operation is enabled by a predetermined operation continuation time, and the shift position is switched by the actuator. By releasing the shift lever 1 after the transition operation becomes effective, the shift lever 1 is returned to the reference position X (returned in the direction indicated by the solid arrow in the figure). When the parking button P is pressed when the shift lever 1 is at the reference position X, the reference position X is set to the parking position (P position).

  As the shift lever device, a device in which the lever is moved to the P position, the R position, the N position, and the D position and the lever is held at that position can be applied.

A vehicle provided with a shift control device according to one embodiment (reference example) of the present invention is a vehicle that is supplied with power from the outside and is charged, and has a power supply port to which a power supply plug is connected. When the power supply plug is connected to the power supply port, charging determination of the vehicle is detected (charging determination detecting means).

  It is also possible to detect the state of charge of the vehicle when the power supply plug is connected and the power supply is actually started as the charge determination detection means. When a non-contact charging device is applied, it is also possible to detect the charging state of the vehicle when the vehicle moves to a predetermined charging position range or when charging is actually started.

  In the shift control device according to the first embodiment (reference example) of the present invention, when the charge determination state is detected, the shift lever 1 is moved from the reference position X (P position) to a predetermined position when a predetermined limit is satisfied. The shift operation of the shift lever 1 is enabled when the shift operation to the N position which is the operation position of the shift lever 1 is performed. As the determined limit, a depression amount (operation amount of the restricting member) in depression of the brake pedal is applied as a premise for enabling a shift operation of the shift lever.

  A shift control device according to a first embodiment (reference example) of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 illustrates a block configuration of the shift control device according to the first embodiment (reference example) of the present invention, and FIG. 3 illustrates an operation state of the shift control device according to the first embodiment (reference example) of the present invention. The flowchart is shown.

  The block configuration of the shift control device will be specifically described based on FIG.

  As shown in the figure, the shift control device includes a control device 11 in which the amount of depression of a brake pedal when the shift operation of the shift lever 1 from the P position to the N position is enabled is set. The control device 11 is provided with shift position determining means 12 for determining the shift position of the shift lever 1.

  The control device 11 includes a first brake depression amount setting means 13. The first brake depression amount setting means 13 sets the first brake depression amount when the charging judgment detection means detects that the power supply plug is not connected. That is, the amount of depression of the brake pedal that enables the shift operation of the shift lever 1 from the P position to the N position is set as the first brake depression amount (first change condition amount).

Further, the control device 11 includes second brake depression amount setting means 14. The second brake depression amount setting means 14 sets the second brake depression amount when the charging judgment detection means detects that the power supply plug is connected. That is, the amount of depression of the brake pedal for enabling the shift operation of the shift lever 1 from the P position to the N position is the second brake depression amount (the second change condition) that is greater than the first brake depression amount. amount)
Is set as

  Further, the control device 11 is provided with a brake depression amount determining means 15 for selecting and determining a brake depression amount for making the shift operation of the shift lever 1 effective based on the input information. That is, the brake depression amount determination means 15 sets the first brake depression amount set by the first brake depression amount setting means 13 or the second brake depression amount setting means 14 based on the input information. The second brake depression amount is selected. Then, the brake depression amount determining means 15 determines whether or not the actual brake depression amount has reached the selected depression amount.

  The operation information of the shift lever 1, the connection information of the power supply plug, the information of the amount of depression of the brake pedal (information of the amount of depression of the brake), and the information of the operation of the parking brake as the limiting means are input to the control device 11. The control device 11 outputs a command for validating the shift operation of the shift lever 1, that is, a command of an operation instruction to an actuator that operates the shift position.

  The control operation will be specifically described based on FIG.

  As shown in the figure, it is determined whether or not the power supply plug is connected in step S1, and if it is determined in step S1 that the power supply plug is connected, whether or not the parking brake is off in step S2 (not Operation) is determined. If it is determined in step S1 that the power supply plug is not connected, it is determined that the charge determination state has not been detected, and the first brake depression amount B is set in step S3 (first brake depression amount setting means). 13).

  In step S2, if it is determined that the parking brake is not off, that is, it is on and the parking brake is operating, even if the power plug is connected, the intention to not move the vehicle is working. In step S3, the first brake depression amount B is set (second brake depression amount setting means 14).

  After the first brake depression amount B is set in step S3, it is determined in step S4 whether the depression amount of the brake pedal is equal to or greater than the depression amount B, and in step S4, the depression amount of the brake pedal is determined to be the depression amount B. If it is determined that this is the case, the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is validated in step S5, and the process returns.

  That is, when the power supply plug is not connected, the shift operation of the shift lever 1 can be validated in a state where the determined limit is not satisfied (in a state where the depression amount of the brake pedal is not less than B or more). Further, even if the power supply plug is connected, if the parking brake is operating, the shift operation of the shift lever 1 is performed in a state where the determined limit is not satisfied (in a state where the amount of depression of the brake pedal is not more than B or more). Can be enabled.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S2 that the parking brake is off, the parking brake is inactive with the power supply plug connected, and the second brake depression amount A (A> A) is determined in step S6. B) is set.

  After the second brake depression amount A is set in step S6, it is determined in step S7 whether the depression amount of the brake pedal is equal to or greater than the depression amount A. In step S7, the depression amount of the brake pedal is determined to be the depression amount A. If it is determined that this is the case, the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is validated in step S5, and the process returns.

  That is, when the parking brake is inactive and the power supply plug is connected, when the predetermined limit is satisfied (when the depression amount of the brake pedal is equal to or greater than the depression amount A that is greater than the depression amount B), the shift lever is shifted. One transition operation can be validated.

  Therefore, when the power supply plug is connected, the amount of depression of the brake pedal is the second amount of brake depression A, which is greater than the amount of first brake depression B (when the brake pedal is depressed more than usual). At this time, the shift operation of the shift lever 1 from the P position to the N position is enabled, so that the shift operation of the shift lever 1 is effectively performed when the amount of depression of the brake pedal increases even when the power supply plug is connected. Become.

  For this reason, even when the power supply plug is connected, when the amount of depression of the brake pedal increases, it is determined that the predetermined limit has been satisfied, and the shift operation of the shift lever 1 can be enabled, and the vehicle can be activated. Can be moved. As a result, even if the vehicle is being charged, it is possible to move the vehicle a little and put in / out the luggage or enter / exit the occupant, thereby improving usability.

  Further, when the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is validated with the second brake depression amount A, the operation condition (non-operation condition) of the parking brake for restricting the traveling of the vehicle is a condition, and therefore the operation of the parking brake is performed. , An operation for intentionally enabling the shift operation of the shift lever 1 can be performed.

  In addition, although the condition of the operation of the parking brake is used as a condition for limiting the traveling of the vehicle, the process of determining that the parking brake is off (step S2) may be omitted.

  Further, as the limiting means, any of a means for detecting a door open / closed state, a means for detecting seat belt wearing, a means for detecting tilt of a side mirror, a seating sensor for detecting seating of an occupant, or a plurality of seating sensors. Combinations can be applied. In this case, the state in which the door is open, the state in which the seat belt is not fastened, the state in which the side mirror is folded down, and the state in which the occupant is not seated is detected is defined as a state in which normal traveling is not performed. A condition for enabling the shift operation of the shift lever 1 with the brake depression amount A of.

  The above-described shift control device can enable the transition operation of the shift lever 1 when the depression amount of the brake pedal is increased (when a predetermined limit is satisfied) even when the power supply plug is connected. become.

  A second embodiment of the present invention, that is, a shift control device according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a shift control device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation state of the shift control device according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The same components as those of the first embodiment (reference example) shown in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  In the shift control device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, when the charge determination state is detected, as in the first embodiment (reference example), when the predetermined limit is satisfied, the shift lever 1 is used as a reference. When the shift operation from the position X (P position) to the N position which is a predetermined operation position, the shift operation of the shift lever 1 is made valid. As the determined restriction, the duration of the transition operation of the shift lever 1 (the operation amount of the restriction member) is applied.

  The block configuration of the shift control device will be specifically described based on FIG.

  As shown in the figure, the shift control device includes a control device 21 in which a transition operation continuation time of the shift lever 1 when the transition operation from the P position to the N position of the shift lever 1 is validated. I have. The control device 21 includes a shift position determination unit 12 that determines the shift position of the shift lever 1.

  The control device 21 includes a first transition operation duration setting unit 23. The first transition operation duration setting unit 23 sets the first transition operation duration of the shift lever 1 when the charging determination detection unit detects that the power supply plug is not connected. That is, the continuation time of the operation of the shift lever 1 toward the N position that enables the transition operation from the P position to the N position of the shift lever 1 is the first transition operation continuation time (first change condition amount). Is set as

  Further, the control device 21 includes a second transition operation continuation time setting unit 24. The second transition operation duration setting unit 24 sets the second transition operation duration of the shift lever 1 when the charging determination detection unit detects that the power supply plug is connected. That is, the duration of the operation of the shift lever 1 toward the N position that enables the transition operation from the P position to the N position of the shift lever 1 is longer than the second transition operation continuation time. It is set as the transition operation duration (second change condition amount).

  Further, the control device 21 is provided with a duration determination unit 25 for selecting and determining a transition operation duration for validating the transition operation of the shift lever 1 based on the input information. That is, the duration determination unit 25 determines whether the first transition operation duration set by the first transition operation duration setting unit 23 or the second transition operation duration setting unit 24 based on the input information. The set second transition operation duration is selected. Then, the duration determination unit 25 determines whether or not the actual duration of the shift operation of the shift lever 1 has reached the selected duration.

  The operation information of the shift lever 1, the connection information of the power supply plug, and the information of the operation of the parking brake as the restricting means are input to the control device 21. The control device 21 outputs a command for enabling the shift operation of the shift lever 1, that is, a command of an operation instruction to an actuator that operates the shift position.

  The control operation will be specifically described based on FIG.

  As shown in the figure, it is determined whether or not the power supply plug is connected in step S11, and if it is determined in step S11 that the power supply plug is connected, whether or not the parking brake is off in step S12 (not Operation) is determined. If it is determined in step S11 that the power supply plug is not connected, it is determined that the charge determination state has not been detected, and the first transition operation duration T1 is set in step S13 (the first transition operation duration). Setting means 23).

  In step S12, if it is determined that the parking brake is not off, that is, it is on and the parking brake is operating, even if the power plug is connected, the intention to not move the vehicle is working. In step S13, a first transition operation duration time T1 is set.

  After the first transition operation duration T1 is set in step S13, it is determined in step S14 whether or not the duration T of the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is equal to or longer than the first transition operation duration T1. If it is determined in S14 that the duration T of the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is equal to or longer than the first transition operation duration T1, the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is validated in Step S15, and the process returns.

  That is, when the power supply plug is not connected, the transition operation of the shift lever 1 can be enabled in a state where the determined restriction is not satisfied (in a state where the transition operation duration of the shift lever 1 is not longer than T1). it can. Further, even if the power supply plug is connected, if the parking brake is operating, the shift lever 1 is not in a state of satisfying the determined limit (in a state of T1 or more where the transition operation continuation time of the shift lever 1 is not long). Transition operation can be enabled.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S12 that the parking brake is off, the parking brake is inactive while the power supply plug is connected, and the second transition operation continuation time T2 (T2 > T1) is set.

  After the second transition operation duration T2 is set in step S16, it is determined in step S17 whether the duration T of the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is equal to or longer than the second transition operation duration T2. If it is determined in S17 that the duration T of the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is equal to or longer than the second transition operation duration T2, the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is validated in Step S15, and the process returns.

  That is, when the parking brake is not operated and the power supply plug is connected, when the predetermined limit is satisfied (when the transition operation continuation time of the shift lever 1 is equal to or longer than T2 longer than T1), the shift lever 1 Transition operation can be enabled.

  Therefore, when the power supply plug is connected, the duration T of the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is set to be longer than the first transition operation duration T1 by the second transition operation duration T2 (the transition movement is longer). (When the shift lever 1 is continued), the shift operation from the P position to the N position of the shift lever 1 is enabled. Therefore, when the shift movement of the shift lever 1 is continued for a long time even when the power supply plug is connected, the shift lever 1 Transition operation is enabled.

  For this reason, even if the power supply plug is connected, when the transition movement of the shift lever 1 is continued for a long time, it is determined that the predetermined limit is satisfied, and the transition operation of the shift lever 1 can be enabled. , The vehicle can be moved. As a result, even if the vehicle is being charged, it is possible to move the vehicle a little and put in / out the luggage or enter / exit the occupant, thereby improving usability.

In addition, when the transition operation of the shift lever 1 is enabled in the second transition operation duration T2, the operation condition (non-operation condition) of the parking brake that restricts the traveling of the vehicle is used as a condition. An operation for intentionally enabling the shift operation of the shift lever 1 can be performed in association with the operation.

  In the second embodiment, the transition operation duration of the shift lever 1 is set as the operation amount of the limiting member. However, the first transition operation duration and the second transition operation duration are replaced by the first transition operation duration. It is possible to apply the operation amount and the second transition operation amount. That is, when the power supply plug is not connected, it is determined that the shift lever 1 has transitioned from the P position to the N position by the operation of the first transition operation amount, and the transition operation is enabled, and the power supply plug is connected. When there is no shift operation amount, it is also possible to determine that the shift lever 1 has transitioned from the P position to the N position with the second transition operation amount larger than the first transition operation amount and validate the transition operation. . The transition operation amount can be easily determined by detecting the value of the voltage.

  Further, as the limiting means for limiting the traveling of the vehicle, the condition of the operation of the parking brake is used as a condition. However, as in the case of the first embodiment (reference example), it is determined that the parking brake is off (step S12). Can be omitted.

  Further, as in the first embodiment (reference example), the limiting means includes a means for detecting the open / closed state of the door, a means for detecting the wearing of the seat belt, a means for detecting the inclination of the side mirror, and the seating of the occupant. Any of the seating sensors to be detected or a combination of a plurality of seating sensors can be applied. In this case, the state in which the door is open, the state in which the seat belt is not fastened, the state in which the side mirror is folded down, and the state in which the occupant is not seated is detected is defined as a state in which normal traveling is not performed. The condition for making the transition operation of the shift lever 1 valid in the transition operation continuation time T2 of.

  The shift control device described above enables the shift operation of the shift lever 1 when the shift operation continuation time of the shift lever 1 is long (when a predetermined limit is satisfied) even when the power supply plug is connected. It becomes possible.
