Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of application of the invention] This invention is a separation door locking device that locks or unlocks a separation door that partitions the driver's seat side and the luggage compartment side in a walk-through type vehicle by operating a handle. Regarding.

[Background of the idea]

In the conventional separation door locking device of this type, the door locking mechanism of the separation door is provided with a dedicated actuation rod for actuating it from the cargo compartment side, and the locking mechanism is mounted on the upper part of the separation door on the cargo compartment side. It was configured so that it could be operated.

Conventional devices like this have the disadvantage of requiring a dedicated operating rod and mounting an operating camera on the top of the separation door, which increases the thickness of the separation door and reduces the cargo area. The drawback was that the door lock mechanism was complicated. Furthermore, when the handle for operating the actuating rod was attached to the side wall of the separation door on the side of the luggage compartment, the cargo would get caught and the handle would not operate, making it impossible to operate the handle from the driver's cab.

[Purpose of invention]

An object of the present invention is to provide a separation door locking device that does not require increasing the thickness of the separation door and has a simple structure.

[Summary of the idea]

The present invention is a separation door locking device for locking or unlocking a separation door that partitions a driver's seat side and a luggage compartment side in a walk-through type vehicle by operating a handle provided on the driver's seat side. Inside the separation door,
A lever is fixed to the handle, and the lever is connected to a door lock for locking or unlocking the separation door via an actuation rod, and an operating lever is fixed to the actuation rod, and the separation door is fixed to the handle. The present invention is characterized in that an opening is provided in a wall surface on the cargo compartment side facing the operating lever.

[Example of idea]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. FIG. 1 shows the configuration of a walk-through type vehicle. In the figure, a vehicle 1 has a driver's seat side and a luggage compartment side separated by a separation door 2. As shown in FIG. Reference numeral 7 denotes an opening for manually operating a control lever, which will be described later, from the cargo compartment side.

Next, FIGS. 2 and 3 show the structure of a separation lock device according to the present invention. In these figures, 3 is a handle rotatably attached to the driver's seat side of the separation door 2, and a lever 4 is fixed to the handle 3 inside the separation door 2. The tip of the lever 4 is connected to the separation door 2 via an actuating rod 5.
The door lock 8 is connected to one end of the door lock 8 for locking or unlocking the door. Further, the actuating rod 5 is provided with an operating lever 6 for operating the actuating rod 5 in the vertical direction (upper part of FIG. 2), and the operating lever 6 is attached to the wall surface of the separation door 2 that the lever 6 faces. It is configured such that it can be manually operated through an opening 7 provided in the. The operating lever 6 is provided inside the separation door 2 parallel to the opening/closing direction A of the separation door 2, and is configured so as not to be exposed from the door 2.

Further, a protective member 9 is attached to the opening 7 so that the operation of the operating lever 6 is not hindered.

Furthermore, Figures 2 and 3 show the separation door 2.
is shown in a locked state, and the door lock 8 is engaged with the receiving metal fitting 10.

Next, the operation of the separation lock device when unlocking will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
In these figures, when the handle 3 is operated from the driver's seat side in the direction A, the lever 4 fixed to the handle 3 rotates in the direction B, and the actuating rod 5 attached to the lever 4 moves upward (see Fig. 4). (in direction C). As a result, the engagement between the door lock 8 and the receiving metal fitting 10 is released, and the locked state of the separation door 2 is released.

On the other hand, to unlock the separation door 2 from the cargo compartment side, insert your finger into the opening 7 provided on the cargo compartment side of the separation door 2, and move the operating lever 6 upwards (direction D in Figure 4). This is done through manipulation.

In this embodiment, the actuation rod for operating the door lock is shared between the driver's seat side and the luggage compartment side, and the operating lever for operating the actuation rod is housed inside the separation door. According to (1) there is no need to increase the thickness of the separation door, so the cargo area can be increased. In addition, (2) the control lever does not protrude on the cargo compartment side, eliminating the problem of the loaded cargo hitting the control lever and preventing the steering wheel from being operated from the driver's seat side. Furthermore, (3) since the control lever does not protrude from the cargo compartment side, there is no possibility of damage to the cargo caused by the control lever or damage to the control lever caused by the cargo.

Furthermore, (4) since the operating rod is shared between the driver's seat side and the passenger compartment side, the structure of the lock mechanism is simplified and adjustment of the lock mechanism is also facilitated.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, a large luggage space can be secured and the structure of the lock mechanism can be simplified.
