Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle lock device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally known vehicle locking devices are unlocked by rotating an open lever via a rod when an outer handle of a door is operated to open and rotating a ratchet by the rotation of the open lever. , So that the door can be opened.

[0003]

The known one has a structure in which the outer handle and the open lever are connected by a rod. However, the distance between the outer handle and the open lever is slightly different for each vehicle body and is not constant. It has to be adjusted somewhere, and conventionally, various inventions have been devised for its adjusting mechanism. The present invention is one of them, in which the rod has a constant length and is adjusted by an open lever.

[0004]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the open lever that is axially fixed to the shaft 8 is composed of a plurality of first open levers 21 and second open levers 22, and the first open lever 21 and the first open lever 21 are provided. The 2 open lever 22 is provided with a fixing mechanism capable of fixing the both after shifting the mutual positions around the shaft 8, and the first open lever 21 is provided with an end portion of a rod 25 which is connected to the outer handle of the door. The combined vehicle locking device and, in the above, the first open lever 21 is provided with an adjustment slot 57 centered on the shaft 8, and the fastening screw 24 inserted through the adjustment slot 57.
Is a vehicle lock device in which the tip end of is locked to the second open lever 22.

[0005]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a synthetic resin body attached to a door. A metal plate cover plate 2 is attached to the front surface side of the synthetic resin body 1, and a metal plate back plate 3 is attached to the rear surface side of the synthetic resin body 1. Secure with screws 4. Synthetic resin body 1
A concave portion is formed on the surface side of the latch 5, and the latch 5 is provided in the concave portion.
The ratchet 6 is stopped by the shaft 8. 9 is a striker fixed to the vehicle body side, 10 is a latch 5
The engagement groove of the striker 9 formed on the outer periphery of the striker 11, 11 the half engagement stepped portion, 12 the full engagement stepped portion, 13 the entry groove of the striker 9 formed in the synthetic resin body 1 and the cover plate 2. . As shown in FIG. 3, a space 14 for accommodating each lever is formed between the synthetic resin body 1 and the back plate 3.

The synthetic resin body 1 is passed through the rear ends of the shafts 7 and 8 and screw cylinders 15 and 1 formed on the back plate 3 are formed.
Screw it into 6. In the portion of the shaft 7 facing the space 14,
A lock lever 17 pivotally displaced between a locked position and an unlocked position by operating a key or a sill knob is pivotally mounted, and the lock lever 17 has a rotating piece 19 having an engaging protrusion 18 at an upper end thereof.
Axes the lower end of the. A rotary lever 20, a first open lever 21, and a second open lever 22 are pivotally attached to a portion of the shaft 8 facing the space 14. The rotary lever 20 rotates the ratchet 6, and the ratchet 6 and the rotary lever 20 are connected by a pin 23.

An arcuate slot 57 centered on the shaft 8 is formed in the first open lever 21, and is screwed into the second open lever 22 through the arcuate slot 57 of the first open lever 21. The fastening position of both is adjusted by the fastening screw 24. That is, the end of the rod from the outer handle or the inner handle is coupled to the open lever, but the position of the end of the rod deviates by about 10 mm due to the difference in size due to the difference in solids.
Two open levers, a first open lever 21 and a second open lever 22, are used to adjust the tightening positions of the two open levers by screws 24 so that the above-mentioned deviation can be absorbed. Reference numeral 25 is a rod extending from the first open lever 21 to the outer handle of the door, and this configuration is the gist of the present invention. The second open lever 22 is provided with a long hole 26 extending in the radial direction from the shaft 8, and the rotating piece 1
The engagement protrusion 18 of 9 is engaged.

When the lock lever 17 is rotated to the solid line position in FIG. 5, the lock lever 17 is in the unlocked position. In this state, the handle is opened to operate the first open lever 21 and the second open lever 22 together in the counterclockwise direction. When rotated, the engagement protrusion 18 engaged with the elongated hole 26 of the second open lever 22 moves, and the engagement protrusion 18 engages with the engagement portion 27 of the rotation lever 20 to reverse the rotation lever 20. The ratchet 6 is rotated clockwise to rotate the ratchet 6 through the pin 23 to open the door. Also, FIG.
When it is rotated to the tentative line position, it is in the lock position, and in this state, the handle is opened to operate the first open lever 21 and the second open lever 21.
When the open lever 22 is rotated counterclockwise together, the second
The engaging projection 18 engaged with the elongated hole 26 of the open lever 22 moves, but the engaging projection 18 does not engage with the engaging portion 27 of the rotating lever 20 and thus is an idling vibration, and the ratchet 6 does not rotate. Do not open the door.

In the figure, 28 is a rising piece formed on one side of the back plate 3, 29 is an inner lever axially fixed to the rising piece 28, 30 is a third projecting piece of the inner lever 29, and 31 is an inner lever 29. The second protrusion 32 is the inner lever 29.
The third protrusion 33, 33 is a rod from the inner handle connected to the third protrusion 30. The second projecting piece 31 contacts the tip 34 of the rotary lever 20. Further, 36 is a housing portion of the actuator, 40 is a motor, 41, 42, 4
3 and 44 are gears, 50 is a lid, 51 is a rotating shaft, 52 is a switching lever, 53 is one end, 54 is a protrusion, 55 is a convex portion, and 56 is a spring.

[0010]

[Operation] Next, the operation will be described. When the outer handle frame and the lock device are attached to the door and the rod 25 is attached between the outer handle of the outer handle frame and the engaging hole 58 of the first open lever 21 of the lock device, the rod 2
The tip of 5 and the engagement hole 58 are usually displaced by several to several points. At that time, the fastening screw 24 is loosened by a desired tool, the first open lever 21 is rotated about the shaft 8 to align the tip of the rod 25 with the engagement hole 58, and both are engaged. After tightening the fastening screw 24,
The work is completed by fixing the first open lever 21 and the second open lever 22.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the open levers fixed to the shaft 8 are the first open lever 21 and the second open lever 2.
A plurality of two sheets, and the first open lever 21 and the second open lever 22 are provided with a fixing mechanism capable of fixing the two after shifting the mutual positions around the shaft 8.
A vehicle locking device in which an end portion of a rod 25 that is coupled to an outer handle of a door is coupled to the first open lever 21, and in the above, the first open lever 2
1 is provided with an adjusting long hole 57 centered on the shaft 8, and the tip of a fastening screw 24 inserted into the adjusting long hole 57 is screwed into the second open lever 22 to form a vehicle locking device. Therefore, the misalignment between the outer handle attached to the door and the engagement hole 58 of the first open lever 21 of the locking device is several to several points, and the first open lever 21 is centered around the shaft 8. It has a feature that it can be easily corrected by rotating it.
