DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Application 1 The present invention relates to a locking/unlocking control device, particularly to a locking/unlocking control device for a vehicle.

[Description of Prior Art 1] In recent years, as the number of theft accidents of vehicles such as automobiles has increased, various anti-theft measures have been taken. Examples of ideas for preventing theft of vehicles such as automobiles include the following. 1 hour When a passenger such as a driver performs a predetermined action (for example, operating a specific switch in a procedure) when attempting to get into the vehicle, a radio transmitter installed in the vehicle transmits a message. A lift stop signal is output. The signal to the transmitting unit 1 is given to a small cell phone, such as a card, which is located around the passenger's 11 area, and the cell phone receives the signal and transmits it as a 1 card signal. Starts driving and sends a unique [1] drive signal to the vehicle using the key.

On the other hand, the ID identification device (provided in the vehicle) is provided via the radio receiver on the vehicle side. When the received code matches the 0 record code, a drive command signal is output to the lock/unlock drive RF/(motor or solenoid valve, etc.) to unlock the door. be.

In the above-mentioned invention, the switch for outputting the transmission request signal from the wireless transmitter on the vehicle side was installed near the lock hole of the door or trunk for convenience of operation, so the switch hole was installed in the door, etc. There are problems in that not only does the number of man-hours for installation and the number of man-hours for mounting the switch in the switch hole increase, but also the aesthetic appearance is impaired. In order to improve these problems, the applicant of the present application has made a new proposal as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 (Japanese Patent Application No. 59-55323).

The outline of the above proposal is as follows: In other words, an opening 107 is provided in the vehicle body panel 103, and the push button 119, cover 113, key cylinder case 131, link 149, and contact portion 133 are integrated into the opening 107. The unit 111 configured as shown in FIG.
Attach via. t'l'l' j-1j When the small button 119 is locked and unlocked by key operation, 1-
J! The keyhole (as shown) is RQ IJ. Then, press the °C pushbutton 119 in the direction of the arrow in Figure 5 and contact t', i part 1: N3 is closed, the radio transmitter (not shown) is driven, and the key is inserted into the keyhole. In order to lock/unlock the lock by key operation, the key cylinder 139 and shaft 1 in the key cylinder case 131 are used.
47 rotates in a predetermined direction to operate the link 149.

However, in the above proposal, the push button 119 itself is small, so the pressing surface is small, and the suppressing surface is in a retracted position than the cover 113, so it is difficult to search for the push button 119, especially at night. It's not easy, but you have to judge it well and hit the target. Furthermore, since a keyhole (not shown) is provided on the pressing surface of the pushbutton 119, it is unattractive to have the keyhole visible on the exterior of a device that locks/unlocks the lock by itself without a key. Moreover, Maei! 1i As a waterproofing measure for the unit 111,
Since only the cover 113 is provided, there are problems such as, for example, raindrops seeping into the push button 119 and the case 131 through the gap therebetween.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art.The purpose of the present invention is to enlarge the pressing surface of the push button to reduce the improvement in operability. Another object of the present invention is to provide a locking/unlocking control device capable of increasing the appearance λ of a vehicle or the like and improving waterproof performance.

[Structure 1 of the Invention The features of the present invention for achieving the above object include a key cylinder which is provided around the opening/closing body or an opening having the opening/closing body and is movable in the axial direction during a suppression operation; The key cylinder has a contact part that opens/closes as the key cylinder moves in the axial direction, and an escutcheon part is rotatably mounted at a position that covers at least the head of the key cylinder, and the escutcheon part presses the cylinder. It is a locking/unlocking control device that also doubles as a pressing part.

In the above configuration, under normal conditions, the escutcheon part is kept in a position covering the head of the key cylinder, and when the code recognition device is used to automatically lock and unlock doors, trunks, etc. While remaining at the above position, the escutcheon section, which also serves as a suppression section, is pressed 1F. Also, when you want to manually lock/unlock the lock by operating a key, rotate the escutcheon part to expose the head of the key cylinder, insert the key into the keyhole provided in the head of the key cylinder, and then open the key cylinder. By rotating the link, the link is prevented from operating. Therefore, the escutcheon part also serves as a suppressing part, which improves operability. Also, the head of the key cylinder can be locked and unlocked by key operation. Since the keyhole is always covered by the escutcheon except when the keyhole is exposed, it is possible to not only improve the unsightly appearance caused by the keyhole being exposed, but also to greatly improve the waterproof performance.
