Abstract

PURPOSE:To make easier taking and leaving a car even during the tilt steering period by a method in which the steering is automatically tilted to given lowering and rising positions in an interlocking manner with the taking and leaving actions of a driver. CONSTITUTION:Under the condition that no driver is on a car, a rocking part 4 is turned toward the left around the point 4b on a position where a limit switch 9 goes off. A steering shaft 8 is turned toward the left around the point 6c through a connector 5, and wheel 8a is pushed up. Under the condition, a driver rides on the car, an ignition key is set, the switch turns on, the door is closed, and the switch turns on. Whereupon, output of AND circuit becomes ''1'', the relay coil is excited, and current flows in the direction of full line arrow in DC motor 1. The rocking part 4 is turned to the position where a limit switch 10 goes off, and the wheel 8a is lowered.

Prior Art and Problems One of the reasons why drivers are unable to get in and out of a car smoothly is that the steering wheel is so close to the driver's seat that they have to bend their body into a large "<" shape to get in and out of the car. The reason is that it is looming large towards the enemy. In such a case, getting in and out of the vehicle will be easier if the steering wheel can be moved upward to widen the distance between the steering wheel and the seat. Conventionally,
A so-called tilt mechanism is known as a mechanism that can move the steering wheel in the vertical direction. However, the main purpose of this tilt mechanism was to adjust the steering position so that it would be optimal for the driver during driving, and was not devised to facilitate starting, getting on, and off the vehicle. For that reason,
Even in cars with a tilt mechanism, it is easier to get in and out of the car by raising the steering wheel all the way up when getting out of the car, but you have to move the steering wheel manually each time you get out of the car, and each time you get in It was a hassle to have to manually move and adjust the steering wheel to the correct position.

Purpose of the Invention The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances.
Its purpose is a steering tilt control device that automatically pushes the steering wheel upwards when the driver is about to get out of the car, and automatically lowers the steering wheel to a predetermined position when the driver gets in the car and is about to drive. Our goal is to provide the following.

Composition of the Invention The steering tilt control device of the present invention has a motor and a power transmission mechanism for vertically moving a steering wheel whose position can be adjusted by a steering position adjustment mechanism, and which can be used to open a door, turn off an ibunirashiron switch, etc. When a predetermined operation associated with getting out of the car is performed, the motor is activated and the steering wheel is moved upward, making it easier to get out of the car. Further, when the driver performs a predetermined operation such as turning on the ignition switch or closing the door, the motor is activated and the steering wheel is lowered to a predetermined position. There is no need to adjust the position again since it will be lowered to a predetermined position.

When the outputs of the switches 20 and 21 are both '0', the swinging member 4 rotates counterclockwise around the point 46, and the limit switch 9 is in the OFF state (open) and the output of 1L is 0. At this time, the limit switch 10 is in the ON state (closed) and the connecting member 5 is pushed down, so that the steering shaft 8 rotates counterclockwise around the point 6c and the wheel 8G is pushed upward. In other words, the distance between the steering wheel and the seat has become larger.

In the above state, when the driver inserts the seat ignition key into the seat and turns on the switch 21, and closes the driver's side door and also turns on the switch 20, the output of the AND circuit 25 becomes 1''. limit switch 10
Since the relay coil 29 is closed, the relay coil 29 is excited, and current flows through the DC motor 1 in the direction of the solid arrow. As a result, the swinging member 4 rotates clockwise around the point 46,
The steering shaft 8 is rotated clockwise about a point 6c by the connecting member 5. Seven seconds later, when the swinging member 4 contacts the limit switch 10 and opens it, the relay coil 29 is de-energized and the DC motor 1 is turned off.
rotation stops. In this state, the steering position adjustment lever 6'f! : Push down to disengage the gears between the connecting member 5 and the steering shaft 6, making the steering shaft 6 rotatable, and then return the steering position adjustment lever 6'f to an appropriate position to set the steering position. It's possible. Once set in this way, it will automatically return to this position from now on.

In addition, in the above state, if the ignition key is removed and the switch 21 is turned off, and the switch 20 is also turned off by opening the door on the driver's side, the output of the AND circuit 24 becomes "1" and the limit switch is turned off. 9 is closed at this point, the relay coil 28 is excited, and current flows through the DC motor 1 in the direction of the dashed arrow. As a result,
The swinging member 4 rotates counterclockwise about a point 4b, and the steering shaft 8 is rotated counterclockwise by the connecting member 5 about a point 6G. Then, when the swinging member 4 contacts the limit switch 9 and closes it, the relay coil 28 is deenergized: the rotation of the DC motor 1 is stopped. This stopped state is the same as the first described state, and the steering wheel 8G has been moved upward, making it easier to get on and off the vehicle.

In the above embodiment, the AND condition and NAND condition signals of the switches 20 and 21 are used to control the raising and lowering of the wheel 8a when the driver gets on and off the vehicle, but this is generally the case when the driver gets off the car. , the door can be opened by removing the ignition key. Therefore, it is of course possible to perform control using only the opening/closing signal of the driver side door or the insertion/removal signal of the ignition key, or to perform control in conjunction with other predetermined operations associated with exiting the vehicle.
