Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an improvement in a glue oven device for opening the lids of automobile trunks, bonnets, fuel filler caps, etc.

Conventionally, this type of lid opener device, as shown in Fig. 1, has a plurality of levers L with predetermined signs (symbol marks) attached to the knobs N arranged in parallel on the driver's seat, and is opened by pushing the levers. The lid can be opened from the driver's seat, but these operating levers have similar functions and are mounted close together, and the operating direction of these levers is usually the same in the downward direction. There was a risk that this would lead to erroneous operation.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and aims to prevent erroneous operation, reduce the number of man-hours required for assembling the device, and provide a rad opener device.

According to the present invention, there are two locking mechanisms capable of independently locking two corresponding lids in the locking position, and each locking mechanism is connected via an operating force transmission mechanism corresponding to the locking mechanism. In the lid opener device, the release operation part is swingably supported substantially in the center and selectively rotated toward both ends. The seesaw set lever is configured to be able to apply force, and one of the operating force transmission mechanisms is placed on one side of the seesaw set lever, and the other operating force transmission mechanism is placed on one side of the seesaw set lever. A one-way transmission mechanism that transmits only the operating force in the unlocking direction is provided in the middle of these operating force transmitting mechanisms or at the connection part between these operating force transmitting mechanisms and the seesaw set lever or locking mechanism. In addition to preventing erroneous operation, by providing two operating functions to one lever, the number of assembly steps and number of parts can be reduced.

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

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing essential parts of an embodiment of the lid opener device according to the present invention.

As shown in this figure, the release operation section 1 has operation knobs 4 and 5 attached to both ends of a seesaw lever 3 that is swingably supported by a swing shaft 2 at the center.

Elongated holes 6 and 7 are formed on both sides of the seesaw set lever 3 via the swing shaft 2 in a vertical direction and perpendicular to the axis of the seesaw set lever 3.

Guide tubes 8 and 9 are inserted into these long holes 6 and 7.
Sliding pins 12 and 13 at one end of operating force transmission wires 10 and 11 guided by are slidably fitted together.

The operating force transmission wires 10 and 11 are provided with sliding pins 12A and 13A at their other ends.
A and 13A are slidably fitted into elongated holes 16 and 17 of lock levers 14 and 15.

The lock levers 14 and 15 are connected to swing shafts 18 and 1.
It is swingably supported by 9 and biased by springs 20 and 21 in a direction to lock the bonnet 22 and fuel inlet cap 23.

The length of the operating force transmission wires 10 and 11 and the elongated hole 6,
7. The relationship between the lengths and positions of 16 and 17 and the unlocking and locking positions of the lock levers 14 and 15 is such that when the operation knob 4 is pushed in, the sliding pin 13 is inserted into the elongated hole 7.
The sliding pin 13A is pulled against the lower end of the sliding pin 13A.
slides toward the lower end in the elongated hole 17 via the operating force transmission wire 11 and comes into contact with it, and the lock lever 15 is pulled and rotated clockwise in the figure to release the lock, and at this time the operating force is transmitted. The sliding pins 12 and 12A of the wire 10 are allowed to escape within the slots 6 and 17.

Furthermore, when the operating knob 5 is pushed in, the operation is reversed to the above.

A connecting portion between the operating force transmission wires 10 and 11, which are the operating force transmitting mechanism in the above embodiment, and the seesaw set lever 3;
A sliding pin and an elongated hole into which the sliding pin is slidably fitted are formed in the connecting portion with the lock levers 14 and 15, so that only the operating force in the unlocking direction is transmitted to the lock levers 14 and 15. Although a one-way transmission mechanism is formed, this is not limited to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, and substantially transmits only the operating force of the seesaw type lever in the unlocking direction to the locking mechanism. Any one-way transmission mechanism may be used, for example, as shown in FIG. 3.

The one-way transmission mechanism shown in FIG.
A one-way transmission lever 25 is provided coaxially with the two levers, and these two levers are relatively rotatable around a swing shaft 26. The lock lever 26 is provided with a one-way pawl 27 that engages only when rotated counterclockwise in the figure, and the operating force transmission lever 25 is engaged with the end of the one-way transmission lever 25 opposite to the one-way pawl 27. Only when the wire 28 is pulled, the lock lever 24 is engaged and rotated in the unlocking direction (counterclockwise).

Reference numeral 29 is a spring that biases the lid 30 in the opening direction.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 will be described.

FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram including a partial side view showing an embodiment in which the operating force transmission mechanism and one-way transmission mechanism of the lid opener device according to the present invention are electrically operated.

As shown in FIG. 4, a pair of movable contacts 31 and 32 are provided on both sides of the swing shaft 2 of the seesaw set lever 3, and these movable contacts 31 and 32 are fixed by rotating the seesaw set bar 30. The fixed contacts 33 and 34 are connected to solenoids 35 and 36, respectively, and when the movable contact 31 and the fixed contact 33 are connected, the battery 37
When the solenoid 35 is energized, a solenoid-type locking mechanism (not shown) is unlocked, and when the movable contact 32 and the fixed contact 34 are connected, the solenoid 36 is energized, thereby unlocking other locking mechanisms. It was designed so that

Each of the contacts serves as an operating force transmission mechanism and a one-way transmission mechanism.

Although the seesaw set levers in each of the above embodiments are arranged horizontally in the drawings, they may be arranged vertically, longitudinally, or laterally with the operation knob facing the front.

It should be noted that if you are skilled in operating the lid opener device according to the present invention, it has the advantage that it is very convenient because by operating only one of the operation knobs, you can also operate the other.

As described above, the present invention includes two locking mechanisms that are capable of independently locking two corresponding lids in the locking position, and two locking mechanisms that are connected to each other via operating force transmission mechanisms corresponding to each locking mechanism. , a lid opener device comprising a release operation section that applies a lock release operation force to a corresponding lock mechanism, wherein the release operation section is swingably supported substantially in the center and selectively rotated to both ends. The seesaw set lever is configured to be able to apply an operating force, and one of the operating force transmission mechanisms is placed on one side of the seesaw set lever, and the other operating force transmission mechanism is attached to the same seesaw set lever. A one-way transmission mechanism that transmits only the operating force in the unlocking direction is provided in the middle of these operating force transmitting mechanisms or at the connection part between these operating force transmitting mechanisms and the seesaw set lever or locking mechanism. The seesaw set lever can be equipped with two functions, thereby reducing the number of parts, assembly man-hours, and costs.In addition, since both ends of the seesaw set lever are separated, there is no possibility of pressing the wrong lever during operation. This has the excellent effect of preventing erroneous operations.
