Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an improvement of a door lock device for an automobile.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, in a door lock device for an automobile, a door lock mechanism and a lock controller that electrically switches between locking and unlocking the door lock mechanism are separately attached to the door, and after installation, the two are connected by a connecting member. I was trying to connect it with .

However, in recent years, in order to improve the ease of assembly,
A door lock device in which a lock controller is integrally attached to a base on which a door lock mechanism is assembled is being put into practical use.

By the way, when installing the lock controller on the base, the screw holes on the base and the screw holes on the lock controller are aligned, and the screws are inserted through both screw holes and fastened. There was a problem in that it was difficult to keep the screw hole of the lock controller aligned with the hole, and the assemblability was poor.

(Purpose of the invention) The object of the invention is to improve the mounting structure of the lock controller in the above-mentioned door lock device so that the lock controller can be mounted more easily and reliably.

(Structure of the invention) Therefore, the present invention is a door lock device in which a lock controller is integrally attached to a base on which a door lock mechanism is assembled, and the lock controller can be operated by raising one side of the base. A mounting portion is formed, a portion of the mounting portion is bent outward into a substantially L-shape, and the lock controller is held in a recess between the bent portion and the remainder of the mounting portion. , is characterized in that it is fastened and fixed to the bending part and the mounting part.

(Operations and Effects of the Invention) The present invention holds the lock controller by holding it in the recess between the bent part of the mounting part, which is an extension of the base of the door lock mechanism, and the rest of the mounting part, and fastens and fixes it with screws, etc. This is how it was done.

Therefore, since the lock controller is held by being inserted into the recess of the mounting part, it is easy to match the screw holes, and the work of tightening the screws can be performed easily, improving the ease of assembly. .

(Embodiments) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a door lock mechanism 3 is provided at the rear end of the side door 1 of the automobile, and is detachable from a striker (not shown) of the center pillar 2.
is provided.

Note that 4 is a window glass that can be raised and lowered, 5 is an outer panel of the side door 1, and 6 is an inner panel of the side door 1.

FIG. 1 shows the door lock mechanism 3 as seen from the direction of arrow A in FIG. There is.

The door lock mechanism 3 has almost the same structure as a known mechanism, and although a detailed explanation will be omitted, it has an open lever 8, a lock plate 9, etc., and a rod 10 that is linked to an outer handle and a rod 10 that is linked to an inner handle. A rod 11, a rod 12 that interlocks with the inner lock knob, a rod 13 that interlocks with the door key cylinder, etc. are connected, and the open lever 8 is operated by operating the outer handle or inner handle, and the door lock mechanism 3 is unlocked. On the other hand, the lock plate 9 is swung by the operation of the inner lock knob or the door key cylinder, and the door lock mechanism 3 is locked or unlocked so that it cannot be unlocked by the operation of the outer handle or the inner handle.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, on one side of the base 7, there is a rising portion (mounting portion) 7a that rises forward between the inner panel 6 of the door 1 and the window glass 4. are formed integrally, and approximately half of the rising portion 7a in the longitudinal direction is bent outward into a substantially L-shape to form a bent portion 7b, and the bent portion 7b and the remaining rising portion 7a are bent outwardly into a substantially L-shape. Between the plunger 15
A recess 7c is formed to hold and hold the lock controller 15 with the side a facing upward, and the lock controller 15 has a screw 1 in the rising part 7a and the bent part 7b.
It is fastened and fixed by 6 and 16.

The plunger 1 of the lock controller 15
5a and the lock plate 9 are connected to a connecting rod 19.
are connected.

With the above configuration, during assembly, the lock controller 15 is inserted and held in the recess 7c between the rising part 7a and the bent part 7b of the base 7 to which the door lock mechanism 3 is assembled. The lock controller 15 is connected to the rising portion 7a and the bent portion 7b.
The door lock mechanism 3 and the lock controller 15 are integrally assembled by fixing them with screws 16, 16 and connecting the plunger 15a and the lock plate 9 with a connecting rod 19.

Next, when the base 7 is attached to the inner surface of the rear end of the side door 1 with screws, the assembly of the door lock mechanism 3 to the side door 1 is completed.

By operating the lock controller 15 by operating a switch such as the driver's seat console box, the lock plate 9 is swung via the connecting rod 19, and the door lock mechanism 3 is prevented from being unlocked by operating the outer handle or inner handle. lock or unlock the lock.

In this way, the lock controller 15 can be inserted and held in the recess 7c between the rising part 7a, which is an extension of the side part of the base 7, and the bent part 7b, so it is easy to match the screw holes. This makes the work of tightening the screws 16 easier and improves the ease of assembly.

In addition, the rising portion 7a and the bent portion 7b of the base 7
Since the lock controller 15 is located between the inner panel 6 and the window glass 4, the lock controller 15 does not interfere with the inner panel 6 or the window glass 4.

In the above embodiment, about half of the longitudinal direction of the rising part 7a of the base 7 was bent part 7b, but as shown in FIG.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG.
b, 7b may be used.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the base 7 has a rising portion 7.
Although the rising portion 7a and the bent portion 7b are integrally formed, the rising portion 7a and the bent portion 7b may be formed as separate parts and integrally fixed to the base 7.
