しかしながら、特許文献１の操作レバー装置では、操作レバーとして、アクチュエータを保持する作動部材と、操作レバーを回転可能に支持する回動軸と、各種のスイッチが設けられた把持部分とが、単一部材で一体的に形成されている。そのため、作動部材を変更して操作感を変更する場合、操作レバーの回動軸を変更する場合、操作レバーの把持部分の構成を変更する場合など、一部の変更が必要な場合でも全体を作り変える必要がある。それにより、操作レバーの金型費用が高額になり、操作レバー装置の評価工程が増加するという不利益がある。 However, in the operation lever device of Patent Document 1, as the operation lever, an operating member that holds the actuator, a rotation shaft that rotatably supports the operation lever, and a grip portion provided with various switches are single. It is integrally formed of members. Therefore, even if some changes are required, such as changing the operating member to change the operation feeling, changing the rotation axis of the operating lever, or changing the configuration of the gripping portion of the operating lever, the whole is It needs to be remade. As a result, the mold cost of the operating lever becomes high, and there is a disadvantage that the evaluation process of the operating lever device increases.

本発明はかかる事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、様々な変更に簡単に対応可能な操作レバー装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an operation lever device that can easily respond to various changes.

この構成によれば、操作レバーと回転体とが別部品であり、操作レバーと回転体とが結合部材により結合されているので、操作レバーと回転体とが単一部材である場合に比べて、様々な変更に簡単に対応可能である。操作レバーと回転体とを、各々に適した異なる材料から作ることが可能である。 According to this configuration, the operating lever and the rotating body are separate parts, and the operating lever and the rotating body are connected by a coupling member, so that the operation lever and the rotating body are a single member as compared with the case where the operating lever and the rotating body are a single member. , It is possible to easily respond to various changes. It is possible to make the operating lever and the rotating body from different materials suitable for each.

好適には本発明の操作レバー装置において、結合部材の外形が、略柱状であり、操作レバーが、結合部材の外形に沿った第１固定孔をもち、回転体が、結合部材の外形に沿った第２固定孔をもち、結合部材が、第２固定孔内に固定されており、結合部材が、第２固定孔から外側に延びた基部を含み、基部が、第１固定孔内において基部と操作レバーとの間の圧力により固定されている。 Preferably, in the operation lever device of the present invention, the outer shape of the coupling member is substantially columnar, the operation lever has a first fixing hole along the outer shape of the coupling member, and the rotating body follows the outer shape of the coupling member. The coupling member has a second fixing hole, the coupling member is fixed in the second fixing hole, the coupling member includes a base extending outward from the second fixing hole, and the base portion is a base portion in the first fixing hole. It is fixed by the pressure between the operating lever and the operating lever.

この構成によれば、結合部材の外形が、略柱状であり、操作レバーが、結合部材の外形に沿った第１固定孔をもち、回転体が、結合部材の外形に沿った第２固定孔をもち、結合部材が、第２固定孔内に固定されており、結合部材が、第２固定孔から外側に延びた基部を含み、基部が、第１固定孔内において基部と操作レバーとの間の圧力により固定されているので、第２固定孔に固定された結合部材を第１固定孔にはめ込むだけで操作レバーと回転体とを簡単に結合できる。 According to this configuration, the outer shape of the connecting member is substantially columnar, the operating lever has a first fixing hole along the outer shape of the connecting member, and the rotating body has a second fixing hole along the outer shape of the connecting member. The coupling member is fixed in the second fixing hole, the coupling member includes a base extending outward from the second fixing hole, and the base is the base and the operating lever in the first fixing hole. Since it is fixed by the pressure between them, the operating lever and the rotating body can be easily connected by simply fitting the connecting member fixed in the second fixing hole into the first fixing hole.

The base is projected from one opening of the second fixing hole, the coupling member further includes a transmitting portion protruding from the other opening of the second fixing hole, and the actuator can be moved by the transmitting portion. It is held.

この構成によれば、カム部とアクチュエータと弾性部材とをさらに備え、基部が第２固定孔の一方の開口から突出しており、結合部材が第２固定孔の他方の開口から突出した伝達部をさらに含み、アクチュエータが、伝達部により移動可能に保持されているので、アクチュエータを別の部材で保持する場合に比べて、部品点数が少なく、組み立てやすい。 According to this configuration, a cam portion, an actuator, and an elastic member are further provided, a base portion projects from one opening of the second fixing hole, and a connecting member projects from the other opening of the second fixing hole. Further included, since the actuator is movably held by the transmission unit, the number of parts is small and it is easy to assemble as compared with the case where the actuator is held by another member.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent rattling during operation of the actuator and enhance the operability.

好適には本発明の操作レバー装置において、回転体が、摺動性成形樹脂製であり、結合部材が、金属製である。 Preferably, in the operation lever device of the present invention, the rotating body is made of a slidable molding resin, and the coupling member is made of metal.

この構成によれば、回転体が摺動性成形樹脂製であり、結合部材が金属製であるので、回転体を滑らかに摺動させて操作性を高めると同時に、結合部材に必要な強度を確保することができる。 According to this configuration, since the rotating body is made of a slidable molding resin and the connecting member is made of metal, the rotating body is slid smoothly to improve operability, and at the same time, the strength required for the connecting member is increased. Can be secured.

好適には本発明の操作レバー装置において、回転体の動きに応じて動く１つ以上の駆動部をさらに備え、駆動部が、回転面に沿って窪んだ支持面をもつ支持部と、回転面に沿って窪んだ対向支持面をもつ対向支持部と、を含み、回転面が、支持面と対向支持面との間で回転可能に支持されている。 Preferably, the operation lever device of the present invention further includes one or more drive units that move in response to the movement of the rotating body, and the drive units include a support portion having a support surface recessed along the rotation surface and a rotation surface. A rotating surface is rotatably supported between the supporting surface and the opposing support surface, including an opposed support portion having an opposed support surface recessed along.

この構成によれば、駆動部の支持面と対向支持面とにより回転面を回転可能に支持される。これにより、従来のように回転面の表面に突起を設ける場合に比べて、回転面を支持する面積を広くとることが可能になるため、耐久性が向上する。また、従来のように駆動部以外の部材を使用して回転面を支持する場合に比べて部品点数を削減できるので、組み立てが容易になる。 According to this configuration, the rotating surface is rotatably supported by the support surface and the facing support surface of the drive unit. As a result, the area for supporting the rotating surface can be increased as compared with the case where the protrusion is provided on the surface of the rotating surface as in the conventional case, so that the durability is improved. Further, since the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the case where the rotating surface is supported by using a member other than the drive unit as in the conventional case, the assembly becomes easy.
