Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a shift mechanism, and in particular, to a shift operation lever of a transmission that is attached to a retainer fixed to a floor so as to be swingable in the front and rear and left and right directions. The control lever is provided with a shift connecting portion connected to the transmission and a select arm connected to the select operation lever of the transmission, and when the control lever is swung back and forth, the shift operation is performed. The present invention relates to a shift mechanism in which a lever swings, and the select operation lever swings when the control lever is swinged from side to side.

[Prior art]

When controlling a transmission in the above type of shift mechanism, the transmission has a different selection direction, that is, when the select operating lever is swung in one direction, it is selected to the high side, and when it is swung to the other side, it is selected to the low side. If there is a transmission that is selected to the low side when the select operation lever is swung to one side and a transmission that is selected to the high side when the select operation lever is swung to the other side, the corresponding transmission is selected accordingly. Two types of shift mechanisms are also required. Note that unless two types of shift mechanisms are manufactured, the selection direction of the control lever must be operated in accordance with the transmission, which is not practical.

Therefore, it is extremely unreasonable to manufacture two types of parts when manufacturing two types of shift mechanisms.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention has been devised to address this problem, and its purpose is to standardize the components of the shift mechanism.

[Structure of the idea]

In order to achieve such an object, in the present invention, in the shift mechanism of the above type, the control lever is provided with a lever body and a select arm member integrally connected to the lever body, extending in the left-right direction and having a ball portion at the tip. The retainer has a first structure connected to the select operation lever.
A shaft integrally having a lever and extending in the left-right direction is rotatably assembled, and a second shaft is mounted on the shaft and is spherically connected to the tip ball portion of the select arm member.
The levers are integrally connected.

[Functions and effects of the idea]

As a result, the present invention can be applied to transmissions with different selection directions by connecting the select arm member to the lever body in different left and right directions and by connecting the second lever to the shaft in different left and right directions. Two types of shift mechanisms can be configured, and the components of the shift mechanisms can be made common.

〔Example〕

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. 1 to 3 show a shift mechanism according to the present invention, in which a control lever 20 and a shaft 30 are respectively assembled to a retainer 10 that is fixed to a vehicle floor (not shown). The control lever 20 is attached to the holder 11 by the retainer 10 at its lower end ball portion 20a.
It is supported spherically through the lower end spherical portion 20a, and is swingable in the longitudinal direction (left-right direction in FIG. 1) and left-right direction (left-right direction in FIG. 2) of the vehicle using the lower end spherical portion 20a as a fulcrum. A shift connecting portion 20b is provided in the middle portion of the control lever 20, and a ball portion 20b is provided at the lower end portion of the control lever 20, extending left and right when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
A select arm portion 20c having c1 is provided. The shift connection portion 20b is connected to the shift operation lever 41 of the transmission 40 via a push-pull cable or link 51, as is known.

The shaft 30 is rotatably supported by the retainer 10 via the holder 12 at its intermediate portion and both ends, and a first lever 3 is located at the left side in FIG.
1 is integrally fixed. Note that the tip end 31a of the first lever 31 is connected to the select operation lever 42 of the transmission 40 via a push-pull cable or link 52, as is known.

In this embodiment, the control lever 20 includes a lever main body 21 having a shift connecting portion 20b, and a select arm member integrally coupled to the lower end of the lever main body 21 by press fitting and having a ball portion 20c1 at the tip. 22 and lever body 2
It consists of an operation knob 23 screwed onto the upper end of the device. Further, on the left side of the shaft 30 in FIG. 3, a second lever 32 which is substantially orthogonal to the first lever 31 and which is spherically connected to the tip spherical portion 20c1 of the select arm member 22 at the tip 32a is integrally formed by press fitting. is combined with

In this embodiment configured in this manner, when the operation knob 23 is swung toward the front of the vehicle (to the left in FIG. 1), the shift operation lever 41 of the transmission 40 is swung toward the front of the vehicle; When the vehicle swings toward the rear, the shift operation lever 41 swings toward the rear of the vehicle. On the other hand, when the operation knob 23 is swung to the left of the vehicle (to the right in FIG. 2), the select operation lever 42 of the transmission 40 is swung to the rear of the vehicle, and when it is swung to the right of the vehicle, The select operation lever 42 swings toward the front of the vehicle. In addition,
When the select operation lever 42 swings toward the rear of the vehicle, the transmission 40 selects the low side, and when the select operation lever 42 swings toward the front of the vehicle, the transmission 40 selects the high side.

By the way, in the above embodiment, the select arm member 22 is configured as a separate member from the lever main body 21 and is integrally coupled to the lever main body 21,
In addition, since the second lever 32 is constructed as a separate member from the shaft 30 and is integrally connected to the shaft 30, the select arm member 22 and the second lever 32 can be seen along the imaginary line in FIGS. 2 and 3. As shown in FIG. 2, when coupled to the lever body 21 and the shaft 30, the select operation lever 42 can be swung toward the front of the vehicle by swinging the operation knob 23 to the left of the vehicle. By swinging to the right, the select operation lever 42 can be swung toward the rear of the vehicle, and the shift mechanism can be changed to another type, that is, when the select operation lever 42 is swung toward the rear of the vehicle, the transmission The shift mechanism may be a shift mechanism for a transmission of a type in which the transmission is selected to the high side in the transmission, and the transmission is selected to the low side when the select operation lever 42 swings forward of the vehicle.
