Description

The present invention relates to a vehicle operating device and a steering wheel lock device.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-044365, filed on March 18, 2021, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

A handlebar lock device mounted on a motorcycle or the like is known that determines permission to unlock the motorcycle through communication between a portable device carried by the user and a control unit (ECU: Electronic Control Unit) mounted on the motorcycle. The handlebar lock device includes a lock mechanism that switches between a locked state in which rotation of a knob switch is restricted and an unlocked state in which rotation of the knob switch is permitted (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). The lock mechanism includes a solenoid and a locking claw that rotates in response to the operation of a plunger of the solenoid.

In the handlebar lock device described in Patent Document 1 below, in the locked state, the locking claw engages with the knob switch, restricting the rotation of the knob switch. In this state, pressing the knob switch causes communication between the portable device and the ECU. When authentication of ID information, etc. is established between the portable device and the ECU, electricity is passed through the solenoid coil and the plunger operates. The locking claw rotates in response to the movement of the plunger and disengages from the knob switch. This causes the knob switch to be unlocked, allowing the knob switch to be rotated. The knob switch is then rotated to the on position to turn on the motorcycle's power supply.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2005-112048

However, the conventional technology still has room for improvement in terms of improving anti-theft performance. Specifically, because the ECU is installed outside the steering wheel lock device, there is a possibility that the plunger will move unexpectedly if an operating signal is directly input to the solenoid coil via the wiring between the ECU and the steering wheel lock device. In this case, the movement of the plunger may cause the locking claw to come off the knob switch, causing the knob switch to transition to an unlocked state. In other words, there is a possibility that the knob switch will be rotated to the on position without communication between the portable device and the ECU.

An aspect of the present invention provides a vehicle operating device and a steering wheel lock device that can improve anti-theft capabilities.

The present disclosure employs the following aspects.
A vehicle operation device according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes an operation unit (11) movable between a first position that puts a vehicle in a predetermined first state and a second position that puts the vehicle in a predetermined second state different from the first state, an operation unit locking mechanism (13) that is engageable with and disengaged from the operation unit and switches between restricting and allowing movement of the operation unit from the first position to the second position, and a case (10) that houses the operation unit and the operation unit locking mechanism, wherein the operation unit locking mechanism includes an engagement portion (51, 53) that is movable between an engagement position that engages with the operation unit and a disengagement position that disengages from the operation unit, a movable member (52) that links to the engagement portion and allows the engagement portion to move between the engagement position and the disengagement position, and an anti-theft driver (54) that is electrically connected to the movable member via a movable member wiring (54c) and operates the movable member in response to a control signal received from a control unit provided outside the case.

According to this aspect, the validity of the control signal can be determined by the anti-theft driver provided in the case, so that even if an unauthorized control signal is output from the outside to the moving member, the moving member can be prevented from unexpectedly moving toward the disengagement position. This improves the anti-theft performance.

In the vehicle operation device of the above aspect, it is preferable that the moving member and the anti-theft driver are arranged at positions not overlapping each other when viewed from a radial direction intersecting with a rotation axis of the operation part.
According to this aspect, it is possible to suppress an increase in the radial size of the vehicle operating device.

In the vehicle operating device of the above aspect, a switch (41) is provided for initiating an authentication operation between the control unit and a portable device carried by the user, the operating unit is configured to be movable between an operating position for operating the switch and a retracted position retracted from the switch, and the switch is preferably arranged at a different position relative to the movable member and the anti-theft driver in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis.
According to this aspect, the radial size of the vehicle operating device can be prevented from increasing, and the switches, movable members, and anti-theft drivers can be efficiently laid out within the case.

In the vehicle operation device of the above aspect, it is preferable that the moving member, the anti-theft driver and the switch are arranged within a range of a central angle of 180° around the rotation axis.
According to this aspect, the movable member, the anti-theft driver, and the switch can be arranged in a concentrated manner within the case, which makes it easier to route the wiring (switch wiring, movable member wiring, and driver wiring).

In the vehicle operating device of the above aspect, the case comprises a case main body (21) that movably supports the operating unit, and a cover (22) that is assembled to the case main body and covers the movable member, the anti-theft driver, and the switch, and the cover is formed with a wiring outlet (22b) that pulls out the switch wiring connected to the switch and the driver wiring connected to the anti-theft driver to the outside of the cover, and it is preferable that the wiring outlet penetrates the cover in the thickness direction and is formed in a groove shape that is open on the edge of the cover, and the opening on the edge is blocked by the case main body.
According to this aspect, when the case body and the cover are assembled, the wiring is held between the opening edge of the wiring outlet and the case body, making it easier to route the wiring compared to when the wiring is led out to the outside of the case through a through hole.

In the vehicle operating device according to the above aspect, it is preferable that the wiring outlet port is open downward in the direction of gravity.
According to this aspect, it is possible to prevent dust, liquid, and the like from entering the case through the wiring outlet, thereby improving the durability of the vehicle operating device.

In the vehicle operation device of the above aspect, it is preferable that the movable member is provided on an opposite side of the anti-theft driver to the wiring outlet side.
According to this aspect, the driver wiring drawn from the anti-theft driver can be easily led to the wiring outlet without having to detour around moving members, etc. This simplifies the wiring layout within the case.

In the vehicle operating device of the above-mentioned aspect, the engagement portion comprises a first slider (51) movable in a radial direction intersecting the rotation axis of the operating portion between the engagement position and the disengagement position, and a second slider (53) movable in an axial direction along the rotation axis between a restricting position that restricts movement of the first slider from the engagement position toward the disengagement position, and a release position that allows movement of the first slider from the engagement position toward the disengagement position, and it is preferable that the movable member is connected to the second slider and is movable in the axial direction.
According to this aspect, since the moving member is operated to move the second slider forward and backward relative to the movement trajectory of the first slider, the radial size of the vehicle operation device can be suppressed compared to, for example, a case in which the moving member is moved in the radial direction. Also, the stroke amount of the moving member can be suppressed compared to a case in which a claw or the like that rotates relative to the operation unit is operated by the moving member.

The handlebar lock device of this embodiment comprises the vehicle operating device of the above embodiment and a handlebar lock mechanism (14) housed in the case, wherein the handlebar lock mechanism is configured to be movable to a locked position that restricts steering by the steering system of the vehicle and an unlocked position that allows steering by the steering system, and the operating unit sets the handlebar lock mechanism to the locked position in the first position and sets the handlebar lock mechanism to the unlocked position in the second position.
According to this aspect, by preventing the movable member from being unexpectedly moved to the disengaged position by the anti-theft driver as described above, when the vehicle operation device according to the above aspect is used in a steering wheel lock device, it is possible to prevent the steering wheel lock mechanism from being unexpectedly moved from the locked position to the unlocked position, thereby providing a steering wheel lock device with excellent anti-theft properties.

In the handle lock device of the above aspect, the handle lock mechanism is configured to be movable in a radial direction intersecting the rotation axis of the operating unit between the locked position and the unlocked position in response to a rotation operation of the operating unit between the first position and the second position, and it is preferable that the handle lock mechanism and the moving member at least partially overlap each other when viewed from the radial direction.
According to this aspect, the handle lock device can be made smaller in size in the axial direction than when the handle lock mechanism and the moving member are arranged offset in the axial direction.

In the handle lock device of the above aspect, it is preferable that the device is provided with a switch that initiates an authentication operation between the control unit and a portable device carried by the user, the operating unit is provided with a lock cam (31c) that is arranged eccentrically with respect to the rotation axis of the operating unit, the lock cam rotates eccentrically with respect to the rotation axis as the operating unit rotates about the rotation axis, thereby moving the handle lock mechanism in the radial direction of the rotation axis, and the switch is at least partially overlapping with the lock cam when viewed in the circumferential direction about the rotation axis, and is arranged in a position that is off the circumferential movement trajectory of the lock cam as the operating unit moves between the first position and the second position.
According to this aspect, the switch can be disposed around the operating portion while avoiding interference with the lock cam, thereby making it possible to prevent the vehicle operating device from becoming large in size.

According to the above aspect, theft prevention can be improved.

In this embodiment, in the following description, expressions of relative or absolute arrangement such as "parallel," "orthogonal," "center," and "coaxial" not only strictly indicate such an arrangement, but also indicate a state in which there is a relative displacement with a tolerance or an angle or distance to the extent that the same function is obtained.

[Handle lock device 1]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a handlebar lock device 1 shown through a cover 22. FIG.
The handlebar lock device (vehicle operating device) 1 shown in Fig. 1 is mounted on, for example, a sports type motorcycle. However, the handlebar lock device 1 may be mounted on various types of motorcycles other than sports types (for example, naked types, scooter types, etc.). The handlebar lock device 1 can be mounted on various vehicles, not limited to motorcycles. In the following description, the front-rear, up-down, left-right directions are the same as those on a motorcycle unless otherwise specified.

The steering lock device 1 is attached near a steering wheel (not shown) at the front of a vehicle body. The steering lock device 1 realizes the following functions, for example, by rotating or pushing an operation unit 11, which will be described later.
(1) Operation to start communication with the ECU.
(2) Handle locking and unlocking operations.
(3) Turning the motorcycle power on and off.
In (1), the "operation to start communication with the ECU" refers to an operation for starting communication between the ECU mounted on the vehicle body and a portable device (smart key) carried by the user.

Fig. 2 is a top view of the handlebar lock device 1. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to the line III-III in Fig. 1.
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the handle lock device 1 includes a case 10, an operation unit 11, an authentication mechanism 12 (see Figure 1), an operation unit lock mechanism 13 (see Figure 3), a handle lock mechanism 14 (see Figure 3), and a rotary switch 15. In the following description, the handle lock device 1 will be described using an XYZ orthogonal coordinate system. In this case, the direction along the rotation axis O1 of the operation unit 11 is defined as the X direction (axial direction), and the directions perpendicular to the X direction are defined as the Y direction and the Z direction (radial direction), respectively.

<Case 10>
The case 10 includes a case body 21, a cover 22, and a knob cover 23 (see FIG. 2).
The case body 21 is formed in a block shape and is fixed at the -X side end to a handle (steering system) via protruding parts 21a that protrude on both sides in the Y direction.

As shown in FIG. 3, the case body 21 is formed with a knob receiving hole 21b, a bar insertion hole 21c, an assembly hole 21d, and a switch receiving portion 21f.
The knob accommodating hole 21b extends in the X direction in the case body 21. The knob accommodating hole 21b opens in the case body 21 toward the -X side.
The bar emergence hole 21c extends from the knob accommodating hole 21b toward the -Z side in the case body 21.

The assembly hole 21d extends from the knob accommodating hole 21b toward the +Z side in the case body 21. The bar emergence hole 21c and the assembly hole 21d face each other in the Z direction with the knob accommodating hole 21b therebetween.
The switch accommodating portion 21f is open toward the +X side in the case body 21. A communication hole 21h is formed in a first partition wall 21g that separates the switch accommodating portion 21f and the knob accommodating hole 21b of the case body 21. The communication hole 21h allows the switch accommodating portion 21f and the knob accommodating hole 21b to communicate with each other.

The cover 22 is formed in a box shape that opens toward the -Z side. The cover 22, together with the case body 21, constitutes the exterior surface of the handle lock device 1. The cover 22 is assembled to the case body 21 from the +Z side. The cover 22 closes the assembly hole 21d.

A wiring outlet 22b is formed in the wall portion 22a located on the +X side of the cover 22. The wiring outlet 22b is a U-shaped groove when viewed from above in the X direction. That is, the wiring outlet 22b penetrates the wall portion 22a in the X direction and opens on the edge of the wall portion 22a. The opening of the wiring outlet 22b on the edge of the wall portion 22a is blocked by the case body 21 (the third partition wall 21k described later). The wiring outlet 22b communicates the inside and outside of the case 10. In this embodiment, the handle lock device 1 is attached to the vehicle body with the wiring outlet 22b facing downward. In this case, the handle lock device 1 may be fixed to the vehicle body so that the opening direction of the wiring outlet 22b (the direction facing the outside of the case 10 among the directions perpendicular to the opening surface) has at least a downward component of the gravity direction. That is, the handle lock device 1 may be disposed with the opening direction coinciding with a downward direction of gravity, or may be disposed with the opening direction inclined with respect to the direction of gravity.

As shown in Figure 2, the knob cover 23 covers the case body 21 and the cover 22 from the -X side. A through hole 23a is formed in the knob cover 23 at a position overlapping with the knob accommodating hole 21b when viewed from the X direction. The portion of the knob cover 23 located around the through hole 23a forms the display ring portion 23b. The display ring portion 23b is provided with display portions 25A-25C that indicate the state of the handlebar lock device 1. The display portions 25A-25C are provided with marks indicating, for example, the handlebar lock position 25A, the power off position 25B and the power on position 25C, which are provided in sequence in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis O1.

<Operation Unit 11>
3, the operation unit 11 is provided on the case body 21 so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction and movable in the X direction. The operation unit 11 includes a first inner knob 31, a second inner knob 32, and an outer knob 33.
The first inner knob 31 is formed in a rod shape extending in the X direction. The first inner knob 31 is accommodated in the knob accommodating hole 21b so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction and movable in the X direction. The first inner knob 31 is formed with a switch engaging portion 31a (see FIG. 4), a slider engaging portion 31b, a lock cam 31c, and a knob connecting portion 31d, which are connected in the X direction.

FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a portion corresponding to line IV-IV in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the switch engagement portion 31 a is the +X side end portion of the first inner valve 31 .
The slider engagement portion 31b is a portion of the first inner valve 31 located on the -X side with respect to the switch engagement portion 31a. In top view, the slider engagement portion 31b is formed in a circular shape centered on the rotation axis O1. The slider engagement portion 31b is formed with a lock position recess 35 and an off position recess 36 that open on the outer circumferential surface. In top view, each recess 35, 36 is formed in a trapezoid shape whose circumferential width gradually increases as it moves toward the outside in the radial direction intersecting with the rotation axis O1. That is, on the inner surface of the lock position recess 35, the inner side surfaces 35a that face each other in the circumferential direction are formed as inclined surfaces that extend in a direction away from each other in the circumferential direction as they move toward the outside in the radial direction. On the inner surface of the off position recess 36, the inner side surfaces 36a that face each other in the circumferential direction are formed as inclined surfaces that extend in a direction away from each other in the circumferential direction as they move toward the outside in the radial direction. Each recess 35, 36 penetrates the slider engagement portion 31b in the X direction.

As shown in Fig. 3, the lock cam 31c is connected to the slider engagement portion 31b via a connection shaft 31f. The lock cam 31c extends in the X direction at a position eccentric to the rotation axis O1. The lock cam 31c rotates eccentrically about the rotation axis O1 with the rotation of the first inner knob 31. In this embodiment, the lock cam 31c moves in the -Y side area with respect to the rotation axis O1 during the process in which the operation portion 11 rotates between the handle lock position 25A and the power on position 25C.
The knob connecting portion 31d is connected to the lock cam 31c via a connecting shaft 31g. The knob connecting portion 31d is formed in a cylindrical shape extending coaxially with the rotation axis O1.

The second inner knob 32 connects the first inner knob 31 and the outer knob 33. The second inner knob 32 has a knob connection portion 31d attached to it from the +X side.

A torque limiter (not shown) is provided between the second inner nob 32 and the knob connecting portion 31d. The torque limiter switches between a torque transmission state and a torque non-transmission state between the first inner nob 31 and the second inner nob 32. That is, when the circumferential torque acting between the second inner nob 32 and the knob connecting portion 31d is less than a predetermined value, the torque limiter maintains the first inner nob 31 and the second inner nob 32 in a transmission state and rotates the first inner nob 31 and the second inner nob 32 together. On the other hand, when the circumferential torque acting between the second inner nob 32 and the knob connecting portion 31d is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, the torque limiter puts the first inner nob 31 and the second inner nob 32 in a transmission release state and rotates the first inner nob 31 and the second inner nob 32 relative to each other.

The outer knob 33 is a part that is operated by a user in the operation unit 11. The outer knob 33 includes an attachment cap 33a and a knob portion 33b.
The mounting cap 33a is mounted in the knob accommodating hole 21b from the -X side of the second inner knob 32. The mounting cap 33a is attached to the second inner knob 32 so as not to be rotatable relative to the second inner knob 32.
2, the knob 33b protrudes from the mounting cap 33a to the -X side. The knob 33b is exposed to the outside of the case 10 through the through hole 23a. The knob 33b extends linearly along the radial direction in a top view. An indicator 33c indicating the rotational position of the operating unit 11 is formed on a first radial end of the knob 33b.

<Authentication Mechanism 12>
1, the authentication mechanism 12 is provided in the second partition wall 21j that defines the mounting hole 21d of the case body 21. Specifically, the authentication mechanism 12 is disposed along the wall surface of the second partition wall 21j that faces the +Y side. That is, the authentication mechanism 12 is disposed on the +Y side and the +Z side with respect to the rotation axis O1. The authentication mechanism 12 includes a switch 41 and a switch linking unit 42.

The switch 41 is attached to the wall surface of the second partition wall 21j with the pressing portion 41a, which can be pressed in the X direction, facing the -X side. The switch 41 is arranged in a position where at least a portion of the switch 41 overlaps with the lock cam 31c when viewed from the circumferential direction and is off the path of movement of the lock cam 31c. Note that "overlapping when viewed from the circumferential direction" means that the switch 41 is arranged on the same circumference centered on the rotation axis O1 at any position in the X direction.

The switch wiring 41b drawn from the switch 41 is routed along the outer circumferential surface of the case body 21 on the +X side inside the cover 22, and then drawn to the outside of the case 10 through the wiring outlet 22b. The switch wiring 41b is connected to the ECU outside the case 10. The switch 41 may be a rotary switch or the like.

The switch linkage 42 is disposed on the -X side relative to the switch 41. The switch linkage 42 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 21m formed in the second partition wall 21j so as to be movable in the X direction. The switch linkage 42 extends in the X direction while being bent in a crank shape in the Y direction. The +X side end of the switch linkage 42 is adjacent to or in contact with the pressing portion 41a. The -X side end of the switch linkage 42 is adjacent to or in contact with the first inner knob 31 (knob connection portion 31d). The switch linkage 42 is configured to be movable to the +X side together with the operation unit 11 as the operation unit 11 moves to the +X side. That is, the operation unit 11 moves in the X direction between an operation position (see FIG. 6) in which the pressing portion 41a is pressed through the switch linkage 42, and a retreat position (see FIG. 5, etc.) in which the pressing operation of the pressing portion 41a by the switch linkage 42 is released. A biasing member (not shown) that biases the switch linking portion 42 in a direction to move the switch linking portion 42 away from the pressing portion 41a (toward the retracted position of the operation portion 11) is disposed between the switch linking portion 42 and the case 10. The switch linking portion 42 may be linked to the second inner valve 32 as long as it is configured to be movable integrally with the operation portion 11.

<Operation Unit Lock Mechanism 13>
The operation unit lock mechanism 13 is disposed on the +Z side with respect to the rotation axis O1, and is covered from the +Z side by a cover 22. The operation unit lock mechanism 13 switches between restricting and permitting the rotation operation of the operation unit 11.
As shown in FIG. 3, the operation unit locking mechanism 13 includes a first slider 51, a solenoid (moving member) 52, a second slider 53, and an anti-theft driver 54.

The first slider 51 is provided in the mounting hole 21d so as to be movable in the Z direction. The first slider 51 is formed in a plate shape with a thickness direction in the X direction. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the first slider 51 includes a body portion 51a, an entrance portion 51b, and a spring support portion 51c.
The body portion 51a is a base portion of the first slider 51 that is rectangular in top view, and the edge facing the +Z side is formed into a flat surface.

The entry portion 51b protrudes from the body portion 51a to the -Z side. When the entry portion 51b enters one of the recesses 35, 36, it engages (abuts) with the inner surfaces 35a, 36a of the recesses 35, 36, thereby restricting the rotation of the operating unit 11 relative to the first slider 51 (engaged position). On the other hand, when the entry portion 51b retreats from one of the recesses 35, 36, it is disengaged from the inner surfaces 35a, 36a of the recesses 35, 36, allowing the rotation of the operating unit 11 relative to the first slider 51 (unlocked position shown in FIG. 10, etc.). In the disengaged position, the entry portion 51b abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the slider engagement portion 31b, thereby restricting the return of the first slider 51 to the engaged position.

When viewed from above, the entry portion 51b is formed in a trapezoid shape whose width in the Z direction gradually decreases as it approaches the -Y side. That is, on the outer surface of the entry portion 51b, the outer side surfaces 57 facing each other in the Y direction are formed as inclined surfaces that extend in a direction approaching each other as it approaches the -Z side. The outer side surface 57 of the entry portion 51b has the same inclination angle as the inner side surfaces 35a, 36a of the recesses 35, 36. Therefore, the outer side surface 57 of the entry portion 51b and the inner side surfaces 35a, 36a of the recesses 35, 36 are configured to be able to slide against each other as the operating unit 11 rotates relative to the first slider 51. However, the outer side surface 57 of the entry portion 51b and the inner side surfaces 35a, 36a of the recesses 35, 36 may have different inclination angles.

The spring support portions 51c protrude from the body portion 51a on both sides in the Y direction. A first biasing member 55 is interposed between each spring support portion 51c and the case body 21. The first biasing member 55 biases the first slider 51 toward the engagement position.

FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main portion of FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the solenoid 52 includes a frame 52a, a coil 52b, and a plunger 52c.
The coil 52b is disposed with its coil axis aligned in the X-direction. The coil 52b is fixed to the case body 21 via a frame 52a. In this embodiment, the frame 52a is fixed on an edge of the second partition wall 21j so as to cover a portion of the assembly hole 21d from the +Z side.
The plunger 52c is inserted inside the coil 52b and is configured to be movable to the -X side by an electromagnetic force acting between the plunger 52c and the coil 52b.

The second slider 53 is connected to the -X side end of the plunger 52c. The second slider 53 is configured to be movable in the X direction integrally with the plunger 52c. The second slider 53 switches between restricting and allowing the movement of the first slider 51 from the engaged position to the disengaged position. Specifically, the second slider 53 has a restricting portion 53a that moves forward and backward along the movement trajectory of the first slider 51. When no current is applied to the coil 52b, the second slider 53 protrudes to the +X side together with the plunger 52c (restricted position). In the restricted position, the restricting portion 53a is located on the movement trajectory of the first slider 51 and is close to or in contact with the body portion 51a in the Y direction. On the other hand, when current is applied to the coil 52b, the second slider 53 moves to the -X side together with the plunger 52c (restricted position shown in Figures 10 and 11). At the restriction release position, the restriction portion 53 a is retracted to the −X side with respect to the movement trajectory of the first slider 51 .

The second slider 53 has a spring support portion 53b at a portion located on the opposite side of the solenoid 52 with the restricting portion 53a in between. A second biasing member 58 is interposed between the spring support portion 53b and the case body 21. The second biasing member 58 biases the second slider 53 toward the restricting position (+X side).

In this way, the operation unit locking mechanism 13 switches between restricting and releasing the rotation operation of the operation unit 11 using two sliders that can move in intersecting directions: a first slider 51 that can move in the Z direction and a second slider 53 that can move in the X direction.

The anti-theft driver 54 is a solenoid driver that operates the solenoid 52 in response to the frequency of a control signal received from the ECU. The anti-theft driver 54 is disposed on the +X side of the solenoid 52 within the cover 22. Specifically, the anti-theft driver 54 is disposed in a position that overlaps the solenoid 52 when viewed from above, but does not overlap the solenoid 52 when viewed from the side in the Y direction.

The anti-theft driver 54 includes a driver housing 54a and a circuit board 54b.
The driver housing 54a is formed in a box shape that opens on the +X side. The driver housing 54a is fixed to a portion of the case body 21 that is located on the +Z side of the third partition wall 21k that partitions the switch accommodating section 21f. That is, the anti-theft driver 54 is disposed between the solenoid 52 and the wiring outlet 22b in the X direction. In a top view, the solenoid 52, the anti-theft driver 54, and the switch 41 are disposed within a range of a central angle of 180° centered on the rotation axis O1.

As shown in FIG. 1, a wiring guide 54f is formed in the portion of the driver housing 54a located on the +Y side. The wiring guide 54f is a groove that opens toward the +Y side and extends in the X direction. The switch wiring 41b is housed within the wiring guide 54f. The switch wiring 41b is guided in the X direction within the wiring guide 54f, and then routed toward the wiring outlet 22b.

The circuit board 54b is disposed in the driver housing 54a with its thickness direction aligned in the Z direction. As shown in Fig. 1, the circuit board 54b has a solenoid wiring (moving member wiring) 54c and a driver wiring 54d mounted thereon.
The solenoid wiring 54c connects the solenoid 52 (coil 52b) and the circuit board 54b. The solenoid wiring 54c drawn from the coil 52b passes through a wiring guide 54f, wraps around to the +X side of the driver housing 54a, and is then connected to the circuit board 54b.
The driver wiring 54d is drawn from the circuit board 54b toward the +X side. The driver wiring 54d is drawn to the outside of the case 10 through the wiring outlet 22b while being bound to the switch wiring 41b inside the case 10. The driver wiring 54d is connected to the ECU outside the case 10.

The anti-theft driver 54 outputs an operation signal to the solenoid 52 when it determines that the frequency of the control signal received from the ECU is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. The operation signal may be an electrical signal related to the current to be passed through the solenoid 52 or the voltage to be generated in the solenoid 52, or may be a signal indicating a control method defined in a map. The anti-theft driver 54 may also be configured to output an operation signal to the solenoid 52 when it determines that the amplitude of the control signal is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.

<Handle lock mechanism 14>
3, the handle lock mechanism 14 is disposed on the -Z side with respect to the operation unit lock mechanism 13. In the illustrated example, the handle lock mechanism 14 overlaps with the solenoid 52 when viewed from the Z direction. Note that it is sufficient that the handle lock mechanism 14 and the solenoid 52 at least partially overlap with each other when viewed from the Z direction.

The handle lock mechanism 14 is provided from the knob receiving hole 21b to the bar inlet hole 21c. The handle lock mechanism 14 switches between locking and unlocking the handle based on the rotation operation of the operating unit 11. The handle lock mechanism 14 includes a cam plate 61, a lock bar 62, and a biasing member 63.

The cam plate 61 is disposed in the knob accommodating hole 21b with the thickness direction being the X direction. A through hole 61a is formed in the cam plate 61. A lock cam 31c is disposed in the through hole 61a. The inner peripheral edge of the through hole 61a is configured so that the lock cam 31c can slide as the operating unit 11 rotates. As the operating unit 11 rotates, the cam plate 61 is pressed in the Z direction via the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 61a, and moves in the Z direction within the knob accommodating hole 21b.

The lock bar 62 is formed in a columnar shape extending in the Y direction. The +Z side end of the lock bar 62 is engaged with the cam plate 61. The lock bar 62 moves in the Z direction inside the bar hole 21c as the cam plate 61 moves in the Z direction. Specifically, the lock bar 62 moves between a locked position where it engages with the steering wheel and an unlocked position where it is disengaged from the steering wheel. In the locked position, the -Z side end of the lock bar 62 protrudes from the case 10 through the bar hole 21c. In the locked position, the lock bar 62 restricts steering by the steering wheel. In the unlocked position, the lock bar 62 protrudes less from the case 10 than in the locked position. That is, in the unlocked position, the lock bar 62 retreats from the steering wheel to allow steering by the steering wheel. The state in which steering by the steering wheel is restricted is an example of the "vehicle being in a predetermined first state".

The biasing member 63 surrounds the lock bar 62. The biasing member 63 is disposed between the cam plate 61 and the case body 21, and biases the handle lock mechanism 14 toward the locked position (-Z side).

<Rotary switch 15>
4, the rotary switch 15 is connected to the case body 21 from the +X side. The rotary switch 15 outputs a power-on signal to an ECU mounted on the motorcycle in response to a rotational operation of the operating unit 11. Specifically, the rotary switch 15 is configured such that a rotor (not shown) and fixed contacts (not shown) are housed in a switch housing 15a.

The switch housing 15a is formed with a socket 15b. The switch engagement portion 31a of the first inner valve 31 is inserted into the socket 15b.

The rotor is housed in the switch housing 15a so as to be rotatable in the circumferential direction. A switch engagement portion 31a is fitted to the rotor. This allows the rotor to rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the first inner valve 31. A rotary contact (not shown) is provided on the rotor. The rotary contact moves in the circumferential direction around the rotation axis O1 as the rotor rotates.
The fixed contact is disposed on the switch housing 15a at a position facing the rotor and spaced apart from the path of movement of the rotary contact. The fixed contact is configured to be able to come into contact with the rotary contact as the rotor rotates. That is, when the rotary contact and the fixed contact come into contact with each other as the first inner valve 31 rotates, the rotary switch 15 outputs a power ON signal to the ECU.

[Action]
Next, the operation of the above-mentioned handle lock device 1 will be described. In the following, the operation of the operation unit 11 (instruction unit 33c) from the handle lock position P1 (first position) to the power on position P3 (second position) will be sequentially described. Note that, in the handle lock position P1, the first slider 51 is in the engagement position and the second slider 53 is in the restriction position, so that the operation unit 11 is permitted to move in the X direction while the rotation operation is restricted.

<Authentication Operation>
Fig. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the authentication operation, and is a cross-sectional view corresponding to Fig. 5. As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, to start authentication of the handle lock device 1, the user pushes the outer knob 33 in the +X direction while holding the portable device. Then, the entire operation unit 11 (the inner knobs 31, 32 and the outer knob 33) moves in the +X direction with respect to the case 10. At this time, the operation unit 11 moves in the X direction relative to the first slider 51, so that the entry portion 51b moves in the X direction within the lock position recess 35.

When the operation unit 11 moves to the +X side, the switch linkage unit 42 is pushed to the +X side via the second inner valve 32. This causes the switch linkage unit 42 to move to the +X side within the accommodation groove 21m. When the operation unit 11 moves to the operation position, the switch 41 is pressed via the switch linkage unit 42. When the switch 41 is pressed, the authentication operation between the ECU and the portable device begins. Specifically, a request signal is transmitted from the antenna of the ECU. When the portable device receives the request signal, it transmits a response signal. The antenna of the ECU receives the response signal transmitted from the portable device. The ECU then performs ID authentication of the portable device based on the response signal of the portable device received by the antenna. When the authentication is completed successfully, the ECU outputs a control signal to the operation unit lock mechanism 13 (anti-theft driver 54).

As shown in Fig. 6, when the anti-theft driver 54 determines that the input control signal is a regular control signal, it outputs an operation signal to the solenoid 52. This causes a current to flow through the coil 52b. When a current flows through the coil 52b, the plunger 52c moves to the -X side due to an electromagnetic force acting between the coil 52b and the plunger 52c. The movement of the plunger 52c to the -X side causes the second slider 53 to move to the -X side. As a result, the second slider 53 moves from the restricted position to the unrestricted position, and the movement of the first slider 51 to the +Z side by the second slider 53 is permitted.
This completes the authentication operation.

<Unlocking action>
7 to 11 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the unlocking operation, where FIG. 7 is a top view corresponding to FIG. 2, FIGS. 8 and 9 are cross-sectional views corresponding to FIG. 4, and FIGS. 10 and 11 are cross-sectional views corresponding to FIG. 5.
As shown in FIG. 7, after the authentication operation is completed, the operation unit 11 is moved to the power off position P2 to release the handle lock. Specifically, the operation unit 11 is rotated clockwise as shown in FIG. 7. Then, the entire operation unit 11 rotates in the circumferential direction. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, the lock position recess 35 moves in the circumferential direction with the rotation of the operation unit 11, so that the entry portion 51b of the first slider 51 slides on the inner surface 35a of the lock position recess 35. As a result, the first slider 51 moves to the +Z side (radial direction of the rotation axis O1) against the biasing force of the first biasing member 55 with the rotation of the operation unit 11. After the entry portion 51b is released from the lock position recess 35, when the operation unit 11 is further rotated, the first slider 51 rides on the outer circumferential surface of the slider engagement portion 31b. As a result, the first slider 51 is in the disengagement position.

8 and 9, when the operating unit 11 is further rotated with the first slider 51 moved to the disengaged position, the entry portion 51b slides on the outer circumferential surface of the slider engagement portion 31b, causing the operating unit 11 to rotate. When the operating unit 11 subsequently rotates to a position where the first slider 51 and the off-position recess 36 face each other in the Z direction, the first slider 51 moves again toward the engaged position. That is, the first slider 51 moves to the -Z side due to the biasing force of the second biasing member 58. As a result, the entry portion 51b enters the off-position recess 36, and the operating unit 11 is held in the power off position (second position) P2.

As shown in Figures 10 and 11, when the operating unit 11 moves from the handle lock position P1 to the power off position P2, the lock cam 31c rotates eccentrically around the rotation axis O1. Then, the outer peripheral surface of the lock cam 31c slides on the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 61a in the cam plate 61. As a result, the lock cam 31c presses the cam plate 61 to the +Z side as the operating unit 11 rotates. This causes the lock bar 62 to move to the +Z side together with the cam plate 61. As a result, the lock bar 62 retracts from the handle, allowing steering with the handle (unlocked position).

<Transition from power-off position P2 to power-on position P3>
12 to 14 are explanatory diagrams for explaining the power-on operation, in which FIG. 12 is a top view corresponding to FIG. 2, FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 4, and FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view corresponding to FIG. 5. Next, as shown in FIG. 12, the operation unit 11 is rotated clockwise from the power-off position P2 to the power-on position P3 as shown in FIG. 12. As the operation unit 11 rotates, the off-position recess 36 moves in the circumferential direction, and the entry portion 51b of the first slider 51 slides on the inner surface 36a of the off-position recess 36. As a result, the first slider 51 moves to the +Z side (radial direction of the rotation axis O1) against the biasing force of the first biasing member 55 as the operation unit 11 rotates. After the entry portion 51b is released from the off-position recess 36, when the operation unit 11 is further rotated, the first slider 51 rides on the outer circumferential surface of the slider engagement portion 31b. This moves the first slider 51 to the disengagement position. When the operation unit 11 is further rotated with the first slider 51 moved to the disengagement position, the entry portion 51b slides on the outer circumferential surface of the slider engagement portion 31b while the operation unit 11 rotates. This moves the operation unit 11 to the power-on position P3.

When the operating unit 11 is in the power-on position P3, the first slider 51 abuts against the outer circumferential surface of the slider engagement portion 31b. Therefore, when the operating unit 11 is in the power-on position P3, the first slider 51 does not return to the engagement position.

In the process of the operating unit 11 moving to the power-on position P3, the rotor of the rotary switch 15 rotates via the switch engagement portion 31a, causing the fixed contact and rotating contact of the rotary switch 15 to come into contact. As a result, an ON signal is sent from the rotary switch 15 to the ECU. This completes preparations for starting the motorcycle. In this state, the engine is ignited by operating a starter or the like disposed on the motorcycle. Note that the state in which preparations for starting the motorcycle are complete is an example of "the vehicle being in a specified second state different from the first state".

In addition, when the operation unit 11 is in the handle lock position P1 or the power off position P2, if a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of communication between the portable device and the ECU, or if the portable device has moved outside the communication area with the ECU after the authentication operation is completed, the second slider 53 returns to the restricted position again. That is, the output of the operation signal from the anti-theft driver 54 to the coil 52b is stopped, and the current to the coil 52b is stopped. Then, the second slider 53 is pushed back to the +X side by the biasing force of the second biasing member 58, and the plunger 52c and the second slider 53 move together to the +X side. As a result, the movement of the first slider 51 to the +Z side by the second slider 53 is restricted. In such a case, the above-mentioned authentication operation can be performed again to move the second slider 53 to the unrestricted position again. In other words, in the above explanation, the handle lock position P1 is described as the first position, and the power off position P2 or the power on position P3 is described as the second position, but the power off position P2 may be the first position, and the handle lock position P1 or the power on position P3 may be the second position.

The steering wheel lock device 1 of this embodiment is configured to include an anti-theft driver 54 that is connected to the solenoid 52 via a driver wiring 54d and operates the solenoid 52 in response to the frequency of a control signal received from the outside.
According to this configuration, the validity of the control signal can be determined by the anti-theft driver 54 provided in the case 10, so that even if an illegal control signal is output from the outside to the solenoid 52, the plunger 52c can be prevented from moving unexpectedly. This improves the anti-theft performance.

The steering wheel lock device 1 of this embodiment is configured such that the solenoid 52 and the anti-theft driver 54 are disposed at positions that do not overlap when viewed from the Y direction.
According to this configuration, the handlebar lock device 1 can be prevented from becoming large in size in the Y direction.

In this embodiment, the switches 41 are arranged at different positions in the circumferential direction relative to the solenoid 52 and the anti-theft driver 54 .
According to this configuration, the switch 41, the solenoid 52, and the anti-theft driver 54 can be efficiently laid out within the case 10 while preventing the steering wheel lock device 1 from becoming too large in the radial direction.

In the steering wheel lock device 1 of this embodiment, the solenoid 52, the anti-theft driver 54, and the switch 41 are arranged within a range of a central angle of 180° about the rotation axis O1.
According to this configuration, the solenoid 52, the anti-theft driver 54, and the switch 41 can be disposed in a concentrated manner within the case 10, which facilitates the routing of the wiring (the switch wiring 41b, the internal case wiring 54c, and the driver wiring 54d).

In the handlebar lock device 1 of this embodiment, an open groove is formed on the edge of the cover 22, and the opening of the wiring outlet 22b on the edge of the cover 22 is blocked by the case body.
According to this configuration, when the case body 21 and the cover 22 are assembled, the wiring is held between the opening edge of the wiring outlet 22b and the case body 21. Therefore, compared to the case where the wiring is pulled out to the outside of the case 10 through a through hole, it is easier to route the wiring.

In the handlebar lock device 1 of this embodiment, the wiring outlet 22b is open downward in the direction of gravity.
This configuration can prevent dust, liquid, and the like from entering the case 10 through the wiring outlet 22b, thereby improving the durability of the handlebar lock device 1.

In the steering wheel lock device 1 of this embodiment, the solenoid 52 is disposed on the opposite side of the anti-theft driver 54 from the wiring outlet 22b.
According to this configuration, the driver wire 54d drawn from the anti-theft driver 54 can be easily guided to the wire outlet 22b without detouring the solenoid 52, etc. Therefore, the wiring layout within the case 10 can be simplified.

The handle lock device 1 of this embodiment is configured to include a first slider 51 that moves in the Z direction to engage and disengage with the operating portion 11, and a second slider 53 that moves in the X direction to restrict and allow the movement of the first slider 51.
According to this configuration, the plunger 52c is operated to move the second slider 53 forward and backward relative to the movement trajectory of the first slider 51, so that the handle lock device 1 can be prevented from becoming larger in the radial direction compared to, for example, a case in which the plunger 52c is moved in the radial direction. Also, the stroke amount of the plunger 52c can be reduced compared to a case in which a claw or the like that rotates relative to the operating unit 11 is operated by the plunger 52c.

In the handlebar lock device 1 of this embodiment, the handlebar lock mechanism 14 and the solenoid 52 are configured to at least partially overlap each other when viewed from the Y direction.
According to this configuration, the handlebar lock device 1 can be made smaller in size in the X direction than when the handlebar lock mechanism 14 and the solenoid 52 are arranged offset in the X direction.

In the handlebar lock device 1 of this embodiment, the handlebar lock mechanism 14 is configured to be movable between a locked position that restricts steering of the motorcycle using the handlebar and an unlocked position that allows steering using the handlebar. The operation unit 11 is configured to set the handlebar lock mechanism 14 to the locked position in the handlebar lock position P1, and to set the handlebar lock mechanism 14 to the unlocked position in the power off position P2 or the power on position P3.
According to this configuration, the solenoid 52 is prevented from unexpectedly moving to the disengaged position by the anti-theft driver 54, and therefore the handlebar lock mechanism 14 is prevented from unexpectedly moving from the locked position to the unlocked position. This makes it possible to provide a handlebar lock device 1 with excellent anti-theft properties.

In the handle lock device 1 of this embodiment, the switch 41 is configured so that at least a portion of it overlaps with the lock cam 31c when viewed circumferentially, and is positioned away from the movement trajectory of the lock cam 31c that accompanies the rotation of the operating unit 11.
According to this configuration, the switch 41 can be disposed around the operating portion 11 while avoiding interference with the lock cam 31c. This makes it possible to prevent the handlebar lock device 1 from becoming large.
