Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an opener device for an opening/closing body such as a trunk lid or a fuel filler lid.

Conventional trunk lids and fuel filler lids have independent opener mechanisms with individual control cables and opener bundles.

This resulted in the following drawbacks.

1 2 each of opener bundle and control cable
Since there are books, it is very disadvantageous in terms of cost, weight, opener bundle installation space, and wiring space.

The fact that the 22 opener bundles have similar shapes and operate in the same direction increases the risk of erroneous operation.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and includes connecting a control cable consisting of a push-pull cable with a single core wire to a single opener bundle having a neutral position, and connecting the push-pull control cable with its bush and To provide an opener device for an opening/closing body which solves the above-mentioned drawbacks by engaging locking devices of different opening/closing bodies that operate in response to a pull operation.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a single L-shaped opener bundle 1 has an operating part 1a at the tip and a cable connecting part 1b at the base, and the bending part is fixed to the vehicle body 3 by a bolt or the like using a pivot pin 2. The two opposite brackets are
It can be swung in any direction, and is returned to a neutral position by a return spring 5 when not operated.

Control cable 6 consisting of a so-called push-pull cable capable of transmitting loads both in tension and in push
The front end of the single core wire 6a is connected to the connecting portion 1 of the bundle 1.
b, and the front end of the outer casing 6b is fixed to the bracket 4.

Further, the outer casing 6b is divided into a front portion 6b1 and a rear portion 6b2 at a location where a fuel filler lid lock device to be described later is installed, and the rear portion 6b2 extends to a trunk lid lock device to be described later.

An exposed portion 6a1 of the core wire 6a is provided between the front portion 6b1 and the rear portion 6b2 of the outer casing 6b, a locking piece 6d is fixed to the portion 6a1 by caulking etc. 6, and a fuel When the operating end of the operating lever 8b fixed to the locking rod 8a of the fuel filler lid locking device 8 for locking the filler lid 7 is positioned so that it can be engaged, and the cable core wire 6a moves in the direction of the bushing (moves backward). , the locking piece 6a engages with the lever 8b, presses the lever 8b, moves the locking rod 8a against the spring 8c, and engages the locking piece 9 integrated with the fuel filler lid 7. I try to remove it.

As shown in FIG. 2, the operating lever 8b is not directly fixed to the locking rod 8a, but its base is rotatably supported on the housing 8d of the fuel filler lid locking device 8, and the locking rod is attached to the middle of the lever 8b. The tip of the shaft 8a protruding from the shaft 8a in the axial direction may be rotatably connected to prevent it from being distorted by the input from the core wire 6a.

On the other hand, a locking piece 6e is fixed to the rear end of the cable core 6a by caulking or the like, and a latch lever 11a for operating the trunk lid locking device 11 for locking the trunk lid 10 is provided at the front of the locking piece 6e. The locking upright piece 11a1, which is the operating end of the cable core wire 6a, is located so that it can be engaged with the
When the locking piece 6e moves in the pull direction (moves forward), the locking piece 6e
is engaged with the latch lever 11a, and the latch lever 11
A is rotated against the spring 12 to disengage the striker 13 of the trunk lid 10.

The locking pieces 6d and 6e are separated from the operating lever 8b and the latch lever 11a when the cape core wire 6a is pulled and the bush moves in the non-operating direction, so that they become so-called idle swings. ing.

The present invention has such a configuration that when the handle 1 is rotated from the neutral position in the direction of arrow A by grasping the operating portion 1a, the core wire 6a of the control cable 6 moves in the bushing direction (direction of arrow a). The locking piece 6d fixed to the locking piece 6a presses the operating lever 8b, and the locking rod 8a moves against the spring 8c, disengaging from the locking piece 9 and unlocking the fuel filler lid 7. As a result, the fuel filler lid 7 is opened by a spring mechanism or cylinder mechanism (not shown).

In this case, the locking piece 6e moves independently of the latch lever 11a and does not operate the trunk lid lock 11.

On the other hand, when the handle 1 is rotated in the direction of arrow B, the core wire 6a of the control cable 6 moves in the pull direction (arrow direction), and the locking piece 6e fixed to the core wire 6a causes the latch lever 11a to engage the spring 12. As a result, the latch lever 11a and the striker 13 are disengaged and the trunk lid 10 is unlocked.As a result, the trunk lid 10 is rotated by a spring mechanism (not shown) (weather strip reaction force). It's easier to open.

In this case, the locking piece 6d does not act on the operating lever 8b and does not operate the trunk lid lock.

Note that the installation positions of the fuel filler lid lock device 8 and the trunk lid lock device 11 with respect to the control cable 6 may be reversed.

Further, each of the locking devices 8 and 11 may be operated by push and pull operations that are opposite to those of the above-described embodiments.

As described above, the opening/closing body opener device of the present invention has the following advantages.

(1) By integrating the opener handle and control cable, a significant cost reduction can be achieved.

(2) Since the opener handle and control cable are integrated into one, it becomes possible to downsize the device and allow it to be placed in a narrow space.

(3) Since different locking devices are operated by a single opener handle, the operating force can be made equal, and the drawback of the conventional two-handle type in which the operating force is large on one side can be overcome.

(4) Since the operating direction of the opener handle differs depending on the different opening/closing bodies, the possibility of erroneous operation is reduced compared to the conventional operation of two similar handles.

(5) Since the control cable has a single core wire,
The structure is extremely simple.
