為了操作控制纜線C,操作裝置10還包含釋放桿件16。釋放桿件16是使用者操作桿件的一個範例。在所繪實施例中,釋放桿件16是被使用來從殼體14釋放控制纜線C之絲線釋放桿件。在此,操作裝置10還包含拉引桿件18。拉引桿件18是使用者操作桿件的一個範例。在所繪實施例中,拉引桿件18是被使用來控制纜線C拉引至殼體14中之絲線拉引桿件。雖然所繪實施例的操作裝置10使用兩個操作構件(例如,兩個桿件),操作裝置10不受限於此特別配置。例如,操作裝置10如果有需要及/或想要能被重新建構成使得釋放桿件16亦被使用作為拉引桿件。因此,內絲線C2回應於釋放桿件16的操作而被送出殼體14,內絲線C2回應於拉引桿件18的操作而被拉引至殼體14中。In order to operate the control cable C, the operating
在此,例如,殼體14包括上(第一)殼及下(第二)殼14b。上殼及下殼藉由緊固件而被耦接在一起。殼體14的上殼及下殼是由像是硬的塑膠的適合材料或像是鋁的輕量金屬所構成之硬的剛性構件。然而,殼體14依所需要及/或想要能具有各式各樣的組態。由於殼體14的形狀、尺寸及材料能實際地為任何適合的形狀、尺寸及材料,殼體14的構成在此將不會被更詳細地討論。Here, for example, the
在所繪實施例中,如圖1及圖2中所見,釋放桿件16能在第一操作方向D1上被從靜置位置(圖1)移動至第一操作位置(圖2),以施行內絲線C2的釋放操作。又,如圖1至圖3中所見,釋放桿件16能在第二操作方向D2上被從靜置位置(圖1)移動至第二操作位置(圖3),以施行內絲線C2的釋放操作。第二操作方向D2與第一操作方向D1不同。例如,如在所繪實施例中,第二操作方向D2與第一操作方向D1相反。在此所使用的用語「靜置位置」是指一部件(例如,釋放桿件16)維持靜止不動之狀態,而在此狀態下不需要使用者固持此部件。另一方面,在此所使用的用語「致動位置」是指一部件(例如,釋放桿件16)由於外力被輸入至操作裝置10中而被暫時地固持在一位置之暫時狀態。In the depicted embodiment, as seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the
如以下所解釋,操作裝置10能在單一個連續釋放操作中根據釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1上從靜置位置(圖1)的移動量而被操作來改變預定位置中的數者。特別地,當釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1或第二操作方向D2上被從靜置位置(圖1)操作時,預定位置中的一者、兩者或三者在釋放桿件16的單一個連續釋放操作中能被改變。所發生的段階或預定位置的數目取決於釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1或第二操作方向D2上被從靜置位置移動多遠。As explained below, the operating
在所繪實施例中,如圖1至圖4中所見,拉引桿件18能在第三操作方向D3上被從靜置位置(圖1)移動至操作位置(圖4),以施行內絲線C2的拉引操作。如以下所解釋,操作裝置10能在單一個連續拉引操作中根據拉引桿件18在第三操作方向D3上的移動量而被操作來改變預定位置中的多者。特別地,當拉引桿件18在第三操作方向D3上被從靜置位置(圖1)操作時,預定位置中的一者、兩者或三者在拉引桿件18的單一個連續釋放操作中能被改變。In the depicted embodiment, as seen in FIGS. 1 to 4 , the

在所繪實施例中,釋放桿件16藉由界定第一桿件軸線A1的支撐銷34而被可移動地安裝於底座20的座板22(見圖11)。特別地,支撐銷34藉由在座板22中的開口22a(圖11)中對於支撐銷34的端部變形(鉚接)而被固定於座板22的底側。附接部分16a具有彎曲槽縫16a1,彎曲槽縫16a1具有位於第一桿件軸線A1上的曲率中心,且支撐銷34被可移動地設置在彎曲槽縫16a1中。以此方式,當釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1上被移動以施行釋放操作時,支撐銷34接觸彎曲槽縫16a1的一端部,以致釋放桿件16在第一軸桿樞轉軸線A1上樞轉。In the depicted embodiment, the
釋放桿件16亦能繞著由固定螺栓26的中心軸線所界定的第二桿件軸線A2樞轉。在此案例中,釋放桿件16在第二操作方向D2上被移動,以施行釋放操作。藉由在第二操作方向D2上移動釋放桿件16,釋放桿件16由於支撐銷34接合彎曲槽縫16a1而在第二桿件軸線A2上樞轉。因此,桿件部分16b被配置成使得使用者移動桿件部分16b,以將釋放桿件16相對於底座20在第一操作方向D1上或第二操作方向D2上樞轉。The
參照圖5及圖6,車把附接器12被耦接於座板22及頂板24。在此,車把附接器12藉由第一螺栓36而被耦接於座板22,且藉由第二螺栓38而被耦接於頂板24。在此,底座20亦設有被可調整地耦接於座板22的筒形調整器40,以相對於底座20可變化地固定外套C1的端部的接觸點。Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 , the

在此,定位構件46包括定位棘爪46a。如稍後更詳細地討論,定位棘爪46a以可相對於底座20在固持位置和釋放位置之間移動之方式被支撐。定位棘爪46a在定位棘爪46a位於固持位置之情形下接合定位棘輪44,以相對於底座20選擇性地建立定位棘輪44的預定位置。亦即,定位棘爪46a在定位棘爪46a位於固持位置之情形下與定位棘輪齒44a中的一者接合。定位棘爪46a在定位棘爪46a位於釋放位置之情形下從定位棘輪44脫離,以允許定位棘輪44相對於底座20在釋放方向上移動。亦即,定位棘爪46a在定位棘爪46a位於釋放位置之情形下脫離定位棘輪齒44a。在釋放操作期間,如以下所解釋,定位棘爪46a在定位棘爪46a位於釋放位置之情形下從釋放棘輪44脫離,以允許定位棘輪44相對於底座20在第二方向R2上移動。Here, the positioning
在此實施例中,操作裝置10還包含止動棘爪46b。如稍後更詳細地討論,止動棘爪46b以可相對於底座20在止動棘爪46b停止定位棘輪44的釋放移動之止動位置和止動棘爪46b允許定位棘輪44的釋放移動之非止動位置之間移動之方式被配置。止動棘爪46b被設置成確保定位棘輪44在釋放桿件16的某個移動範圍內僅移動預定位置中的一個預定位置。在所繪實施例中,操作裝置10能利用釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1上的單一個漸進移動而施行最多達三個釋放操作。在所繪實施例中,操作裝置10能利用釋放桿件16在第二操作方向D2上的單一個漸進移動而施行最多達一個釋放操作。無論在任何案例中,止動棘爪46b被建構成在使用釋放桿件16的釋放操作期間限制定位棘輪44的移動,如以下所討論。在此,止動棘爪46b被朝向非止動位置偏壓,如稍後所解釋。In this embodiment, the operating
亦即,如圖20至圖27中所見,止動棘爪46b回應於釋放桿件16的釋放操作而被從非止動位置(圖20、圖24及圖27)移動至止動位置(圖23及圖26)。在非止動位置(圖20、圖24及圖27),止動棘爪46b位於定位棘輪齒44a的移動路徑的外面,以致止動棘爪46b未接觸定位棘輪齒44a。在止動位置(圖23及圖26),止動棘爪46b被移動至定位棘輪齒44a的移動路徑中,以致止動棘爪46b接觸定位棘輪齒44a中的一者,以暫時地停止定位棘輪44的移動。然後,在暫時地停止定位棘輪44的移動以後,藉由定位棘輪44在第二方向R2上被偏壓,定位棘輪44將止動棘爪46b移動回去至非止動位置(圖24及圖27),如稍後所解釋。That is, as seen in FIGS. 20 to 27, the
又,在此實施例中,定位構件46包括止動棘爪46b,使得定位棘爪46a及止動棘爪46b作為單一個單元被可樞轉地安裝於底座20。在此,止動棘爪46b及定位棘爪46a被形成為藉由樞轉銷48而被可樞轉地安裝於底座20之單件構件。換言之,在所繪實施例中,定位棘爪46a及止動棘爪46b是藉由樞轉銷48而被可樞轉地安裝於座板22和頂板24之間之單一個構件。因此,當止動棘爪46b在非止動位置(圖20、圖24及圖27)和止動位置(圖23及圖26)之間移動時,止動棘爪46b在樞轉軸線A3上樞轉。然而,定位棘爪46a及止動棘爪46b能被建構為在相同樞轉軸線上樞轉之分開的構件、或在不同樞轉軸線上樞轉之分開的構件。Also, in this embodiment, the positioning
如圖10、圖11及圖16至圖19中所見,偏壓元件50被支撐在樞轉銷48上,以用來將定位構件46偏壓抵頂座板22的凸緣或抵靠部22e,以建立定位構件46的靜置位置。因此,偏壓元件50將定位棘爪46a朝向與定位棘輪44的接合偏壓及將止動棘爪46b偏壓離開與定位棘輪44的接合。在此,偏壓元件50是具有被設置在樞轉銷48上線圈區段之彈簧。偏壓元件50具有被設置在定位構件46的孔中之第一自由端部50a及接觸底座20的一部分的第二端部50b。在此,作用在定位構件46上的偏壓力是可調整的。特別地,在所繪實施例中,底座20設有被可旋轉地安裝在座板22和頂板24之間之調整構件52。調整構件52具有第一抵靠部52a、第二抵靠部52b及第三抵靠部52c。藉由旋轉調整構件52,偏壓元件50的第二端部50b選擇性地接觸第一抵靠部52a、第二抵靠部52b及第三抵靠部52c中的一者。當調整構件52被旋轉成用第一抵靠部52a接觸偏壓元件50的第二端部50b時,偏壓元件50被預施負載,以產生低偏壓力。當調整構件52被旋轉成用第二抵靠部52b接觸偏壓元件50的第二端部50b時,偏壓元件50被預施負載,以產生中間偏壓力。當調整構件52被旋轉成用第三抵靠部52c接觸偏壓元件50的第二端部50b時,偏壓元件50被預施負載,以產生高偏壓力。As seen in FIGS. 10 , 11 and 16-19 , the biasing
如圖8至圖10中所見,操作裝置10還包含被設置於定位棘輪44之絲線捲繞器54。基本地,定位棘輪44被不可移動地耦接於絲線捲繞器54,使得絲線捲繞器54及定位棘輪44作為一個單元相對於底座20移動。因此,絲線捲繞器54相對於定位棘輪44在第一方向R1及第二方向R2上被固定。因此,絲線捲繞器54相對於底座20的位置藉由選擇性地接合及脫離定位棘爪46a之定位棘輪齒44a而被選擇性地建立。在此,絲線捲繞器54及定位棘輪44是被耦接在一起以作為一個單元移動之分開的部件。替代地,定位棘輪44能被一體地形成為絲線捲繞器54的一部分,以成為單件構件。As seen in FIGS. 8-10 , the operating

參照圖10及圖11,較佳地,絲線捲繞器54及定位棘輪44相對於底座20在釋放方向上被偏壓。偏壓元件56被設置在底座20的頂板24和絲線捲繞器54之間,以在第二方向R2上偏壓絲線捲繞器54。在此,偏壓元件56是線圈扭力彈簧,其具有接合於絲線捲繞器54的凹口中之第一自由端部及接合於底座20的頂板24的凹口中之第二自由端部。偏壓元件56較佳地被預施負載,以將絲線捲繞器54在第二方向R2上偏壓抵頂底座20的頂板24的抵靠部24a。10 and 11 , preferably, the
選項地,操作裝置10還能包含被操作性地耦接於絲線捲繞器54的檔位指示器,以指示絲線捲繞器54的目前檔位。由於檔位指示器經常在操作裝置中被使用,被操作性地耦接於絲線捲繞器54的檔位指示器將不會在此被詳細地繪示或討論。Optionally, the operating
在如圖11及圖12中所見的所繪實施例中,為了實現絲線捲繞器54的釋放操作,操作裝置10還包含釋放棘爪58及支撐件60。如以下更詳細地解釋,釋放棘爪58被建構成移動定位構件46,使得定位棘爪46a回應於使用釋放桿件16的釋放操作而從固持位置移動至釋放位置。較佳地,如在所繪示實施例中,操作裝置10還包含第一釋放構件61。如以下所解釋,第一釋放構件61被操作性地耦接於定位棘爪46a,以將定位棘爪46a回應於從第一位置移動至第二位置之第一釋放構件61而從固持位置移動至釋放位置。換言之,定位棘爪46a藉由從第一位置移動至第二位置之第一釋放構件61而脫離。更確切地,回應於釋放桿件16的釋放操作,第一釋放構件61被從第一位置移動至第二位置,使得定位棘爪46a從定位棘輪44的定位棘輪齒44a中的一者脫離。因此,絲線捲繞器54及定位棘輪44能回應於在施行釋放操作時於第一操作方向D1或第二操作方向D2上被操作之釋放桿件16而在第二方向R2上移動。In the depicted embodiment as seen in FIGS. 11 and 12 , in order to realize the release operation of the
更佳地,如所繪實施例中,操作裝置10還包含第二釋放構件62。在此,第一釋放構件61藉由釋放棘爪58而被操作性地耦接於第二釋放構件62。以此方式,釋放桿件16的移動經由第一釋放構件61及釋放棘爪58而被傳遞至第二釋放構件62。釋放棘爪58是與第一釋放構件61及第二釋放構件62不同之分開的部件,第一釋放構件61及第二釋放構件62亦為分開的部件。操作裝置10能以第一釋放構件61及釋放棘爪58中的一者或兩者被省略之方式被重新建構。More preferably, as in the depicted embodiment, the operating
基本地,第一釋放構件61以可相對於底座20在第一位置和第二位置之間移動之方式被支撐。在此,第一釋放構件61以可回應於釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1上從靜置位置至操作位置之移動而相對於底座20繞著樞轉軸線(在此,第二桿件軸線A2)在第一位置和第二位置之間樞轉之方式被配置。以此方式,釋放桿件16以可相對於底座20移動之方式被配置,以將第一釋放構件61從第一位置移動至第二位置。換言之,第一釋放構件61回應於在第二操作方向D2上被從靜置位置移動釋放之釋放桿件16而被從第一位置移動至第二位置。在所繪實施例中,第一釋放構件61被建構成在釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1或第二操作方向D2上被操作之情形下繞著第二桿件軸線A2樞轉。因此,第一釋放構件61回應於在第一操作方向D1或第二操作方向D2上被操作之釋放桿件16而被移動,以施行釋放操作。Basically, the
第一釋放構件61被偏壓元件(例如,偏壓元件42)朝向第一位置偏壓。在所繪實施例中,偏壓元件42被使用來將第一釋放構件61朝向第一位置偏壓,且將釋放桿件16及拉引桿件18朝向他們各別的靜置位置中的每一者偏壓。偏壓元件42將偏壓力繞著第二桿件軸線A2在第二方向R2上直接地施加在拉引桿件18上。The
在此,例如,偏壓元件42例如是被安裝在固定螺栓26上之扭力彈簧,其中扭力彈簧的第一自由端部被勾在拉引桿件18上,且扭力彈簧的第二自由端部被勾在第一釋放構件61的臂上。偏壓元件42將偏壓力繞著第二桿件軸線A2在第二方向R2上直接地施加於拉引桿件18上,且將偏壓力繞著第二桿件軸線A2在第一方向R1上直接地施加於第一釋放構件61上。因此,拉引桿件18及第一釋放構件61繞著第二桿件軸線A2在相反兩方向上被偏壓。Here, the biasing
釋放桿件16與第一釋放構件61接合,使得由偏壓元件42所施加於第一釋放構件61上之偏壓力被傳遞至釋放桿件16,且被施加於釋放桿件16上的使用者操作力被傳遞至釋放桿件16。以此方式,釋放桿件16被偏壓元件42操作性地偏壓抵頂支撐銷34,以建立釋放桿件16的靜置位置及第一釋放構件61的靜置位置。The
較佳地,如在所繪實施例中,第一釋放構件61以可相對於底座20移動之方式被支撐,以在釋放桿件16從第一釋放構件61的第一位置(初始位置)之單一個漸進移動中實現預定位置的一個、兩個或三個釋放段階。因此,在所繪實施例中,第一釋放構件61以可相對於底座20在對應於初始或靜置位置的第一位置、對應於第一釋放段階的第二位置、對應於第二釋放段階的第三位置、和對應於第三釋放段階的第四位置之間移動之方式被支撐。當然,操作裝置10如果有需要及/或想要能被建構成在釋放桿件16從第一釋放構件61的第一位置(初始位置)之單一個漸進移動中僅施行單一個釋放操作。Preferably, as in the depicted embodiment, the

釋放棘爪58被建構成藉由第二釋放構件62而從定位構件46脫離。如圖11至圖14中所見,第二釋放構件62包括脫離部分62a,脫離部分62a被配置成在釋放操作期間於定位棘輪44從預定位置中的一者移動至預定位置中的另一者以後將釋放棘爪58從定位構件46脫離。支撐件60被建構成在第二釋放構件62的脫離部分62a將釋放棘爪58從定位構件46脫離以後支撐釋放棘爪58。因此,當釋放棘爪58藉由第二釋放構件62而從定位構件46脫離時,釋放棘爪58接觸支撐件60,以控制釋放棘爪58的移動。在此,釋放棘爪58具有階狀表面58b,階狀表面58b在釋放棘爪58正朝向靜置位置返回時接觸支撐件60。特別地,支撐件60被可樞轉地安裝於底座20。又,支撐件60在朝向與釋放棘爪58接觸之方向上被偏壓。以此方式,支撐件60被配置成,當釋放棘爪58在釋放棘爪58朝向靜置位置返回之情形下接觸支撐件60時,將反作用力施加於釋放棘爪58,如稍後所解釋。The
在此,在所繪實施例中,釋放棘爪58被可樞轉地安裝於第一釋放構件61。特別地,釋放棘爪58藉由界定樞轉軸線A4的樞轉銷64而被可樞轉地安裝於第一釋放構件61。較佳地,偏壓元件66被設置在樞轉銷64上,以將釋放棘爪58相對於第一釋放構件61偏壓至靜置位置。在此,釋放棘爪58具有抵靠部58c,抵靠部58c在釋放棘爪58位於靜置位置時抵靠第一釋放構件61的抵靠部61c。更確切地,偏壓元件66是被操作性地設置在釋放棘爪58和第一釋放構件61之間的扭力彈簧,以將釋放棘爪58的抵靠部58c偏壓抵頂第一釋放構件61的抵靠部61c。Here, in the depicted embodiment, the
又,在所繪實施例中,支撐件60被可樞轉地安裝於底座20的座板22。特別地,支撐件60是藉由叉部60a而被扣合(snap fitted)於底座20的座板22之單件構件,如圖11及圖15中所見。在此,如圖11、圖14及圖15中所見,支撐件60包括接觸底座20的抵靠部60b,以在操作裝置10處於非操作狀態(圖14及圖15)之情形下避免與釋放棘爪58接觸。基本地,支撐件60還被建構成回應於由第二釋放構件62所作之釋放棘爪58離開定位構件46的移動而將反作用力施加於釋放棘爪58。Again, in the depicted embodiment, the
第二釋放構件62以可相對於底座20在初始位置(圖20)和操作位置(圖21)之間移動之方式被支撐。特別地,第二釋放構件62以可繞著偏位於且平行於第一釋放構件61的第二桿件軸線A2之樞轉軸線A3樞轉之方式被附接於定位構件46。更確切地,第二釋放構件62藉由樞轉銷48而被可樞轉地安裝於底座20,樞轉銷48亦可樞轉地支撐定位構件46。在此,第二釋放構件62藉由接合定位構件46及將定位構件46繞著樞轉軸線A3樞轉之釋放棘爪58而被從初始位置移動至操作位置。此外,當釋放構件62位於操作位置時,釋放構件62被定位棘輪44移動至釋放棘爪58從定位構件46脫離之致動位置(圖23)。特別地,第二釋放構件62包括接觸部分62b。接觸部分62b被配置成在定位棘輪44被從定位棘爪46a釋放之情形下被定位棘輪44接觸及移動。The
第二釋放構件62藉由被操作性地設置在定位構件46和第二釋放構件62之間之偏壓元件68而相對於定位構件46被偏壓至初始位置。在此,偏壓元件68是線圈壓縮彈簧。偏壓元件68將第二釋放構件62繞著樞轉銷48偏壓,使得抵靠部62c抵靠抵頂定位構件46,以建立亦為靜置位置之初始位置。以此方式,第二釋放構件62能與定位構件46作為一個單元一起繞著樞轉軸線A3樞轉,及藉由將偏壓元件68壓縮而相對於定位構件46繞著樞轉軸線A3樞轉。The
第二釋放構件62藉由從第一位置朝向第二位置移動之第一釋放構件61而被從初始位置朝向操作位置移動。特別地,回應於在第一操作方向D1或第二操作方向D2上被從靜置位置移動至第一操作位置之釋放桿件16,第二釋放構件62經由第一釋放構件61、釋放棘爪58及定位構件46而從初始位置移動至操作位置。更確切地,釋放棘爪58及第一釋放構件61回應於釋放桿件16的操作而一起被移動。因此,釋放棘爪58的釋放部分58a中的一者接合定位構件46的接觸部件46c,以將定位構件46及第二釋放構件62作為一個單元一起繞著樞轉軸線A3樞轉。當定位構件46經由釋放棘爪58而被第一釋放構件61樞轉時,定位棘爪46a藉由從第一位置朝向第二位置移動之第一釋放構件62而被從固持位置移動至釋放位置。然後,利用位在操作位置的第二釋放構件62,接觸部分62b位在定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44的路徑中。當定位棘輪44由於定位棘爪46a位於釋放位置而在第二方向R2上旋轉時,定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44中的一者將會接觸第二釋放構件62,如圖22及圖23中所見。定位棘輪44的此旋轉然後將會將第二釋放構件62樞轉至致動位置,以將釋放棘爪58從定位構件46脫離。亦即,第二釋放構件62的脫離部分62a將會把釋放棘爪58以抵頂偏壓元件66的偏壓力之方式樞轉成未與定位構件46接觸。釋放棘爪58離開定位構件46的此移動造成釋放棘爪58接觸支撐件60。較佳地,支撐件60被可樞轉地安裝於底座20,且被朝向與釋放棘爪58的接觸偏壓。在此,偏壓元件70被操作性地設置在座板22和支撐件60之間。例如,偏壓元件70是扭力彈簧。在所繪實施例中,偏壓元件70具有被安裝於支撐件60的第一柱60c之線圈部分、與支撐件60的第二柱60c接合之第一腳、及與座板22接合之第二腳。The
如圖20至圖29中所見,當釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1上被移動時,釋放桿件16在第一桿件軸線A1上樞轉,且第一釋放構件61繞著第二桿件軸線A2在第二方向R2上被移動。又,取決於釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1上的移動量,預定位置的一個、兩個或三個釋放段階被施行。此外,當釋放桿件16在第二操作方向D2上被移動時,釋放桿件16及第一釋放構件61在第二桿件軸線A2上一起樞轉,使得第一釋放構件61繞著第二桿件軸線A2在第二方向R2上移動。As seen in FIGS. 20 to 29 , when the
基本地,當施行釋放操作時,使用者將操作力在第一操作方向D1或第二操作方向D2上施加於釋放桿件16。釋放桿件16的此操作力然後被傳遞至第一釋放構件61,使得第一釋放構件61繞著第二桿件軸線A2在第二方向R2上樞轉。釋放棘爪58的釋放部分58a中的第一者然後接合定位構件46的接觸部件46c,以將定位構件46及第二釋放構件62兩者繞著樞轉軸線A3一起樞轉。亦即,當定位構件46及第二釋放構件62繞著樞轉軸線A3一起樞轉時,第二釋放構件62的接觸部分62b移動至定位棘輪44的定位棘輪齒44a的路徑中。定位構件46繞著樞轉軸線A3的樞轉移動造成定位棘爪46a從定位棘輪44的定位棘輪齒44a中的一者脫離。以此方式,定位棘輪44及絲線捲繞器54在第二方向R2上一起移動。當定位棘輪44在第二方向R2上移動時,定位棘輪44接觸第二釋放構件62的接觸部分62b,以將第二釋放構件62相對於定位構件46繞著樞轉軸線A3朝向致動位置樞轉,然後將定位構件46及第二釋放構件62繞著樞轉軸線A3一起樞轉。Basically, when performing the release operation, the user applies an operation force to the
特別地,定位棘輪44的定位棘輪齒44a中的一者接觸第二釋放構件62的接觸部分62b,以將第二釋放構件62繞著樞轉軸線A3朝向致動位置樞轉。第二釋放構件62繞著樞轉軸線A3朝向致動位置的此移動造成第二釋放構件62的脫離部分62a將釋放棘爪58的釋放部分58a從定位構件46的接觸部件46c脫離。藉由使用者在未將釋放桿件16朝向靜置位置移動回去之情形下進一步操作釋放桿件16,釋放棘爪58的釋放部分58a的第二者及第三者能以如以上所討論的相同方式依序地與定位構件46的接觸部件46c接合,以施行定位棘輪44的預定位置的兩個附加釋放段階。當釋放桿件16被釋放且返回至靜置位置時,第一釋放構件61繞著第二桿件軸線A2在第一方向R1上樞轉回去至第一位置,且釋放棘爪58與第一釋放構件61移動回去至其靜置位置。In particular, one of the
如圖28中所見,釋放桿件16具有第一止動件16a4及第二止動件16a5。第一止動件16a4可與底座20接觸,以限制釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1上的旋轉。特別地,座板22設有向下延伸凸緣22d,其形成用來限制釋放桿件16在第一操作方向D1的上旋轉之抵靠部。第二止動件16a5在釋放桿件16於第一操作方向D1被移動時可與底座20接觸,以限制釋放桿件16和桿件軸線(第二桿件軸線A2)之間的相對移動。換言之,在釋放桿件16於第一操作方向D1上移動之期間,有可能的是,釋放桿件16可能相對於被設置在彎曲槽縫16a1中的支撐銷34移動。如果釋放桿件16可能相對於支撐銷34移動,則第二止動件16a5將接觸座板22的向下延伸凸緣22d,以限制釋放桿件16相對於界定第二桿件軸線A2的支撐銷34之移動量。As seen in FIG. 28, the
操作裝置10被建構成藉由使用拉引桿件18而施行絲線捲繞器54及定位棘輪44的拉引操作。如以上所提及如圖15中所見,拉引桿件18藉由偏壓元件42的偏壓力而被偏壓成與座板22的抵靠部22b接觸。以此方式,以致拉引桿件18位於準備好拉引操作的位置。使用者能施行如圖30至圖34中所見之絲線捲繞器54及定位棘輪44的單一個段階操作、或藉由將拉引桿件18在第三操作方向D3上旋轉更遠而施行絲線捲繞器54及定位棘輪44的多段階操作。The operating
為了實現絲線捲繞器54及定位棘輪44的拉引操作,操作裝置10還包含拉引棘爪80。在此,拉引棘爪80以可相對於底座20繞著樞轉軸線A5樞轉之方式被安裝,如圖30中所見。更確切地,拉引棘爪80被可樞轉地安裝於拉引桿件18上,以回應於拉引桿件18從靜置位置至操作位置之移動而選擇性地接合定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a。以此方式,拉引棘爪80利用拉引桿件18的移動而被移動,且在拉引桿件18上樞轉,以與定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a選擇性地接合及脫離。因此,定位棘輪44回應於被從靜置位置移動至操作位置之拉引桿件18而被從預定位置中的一者移動至預定位置中的一不同者。更確切地,拉引棘爪80選擇性地接合定位棘輪44的定位棘輪齒44a中的一者,以在拉引操作期間於第一方向R1上移動絲線捲繞器54。當定位棘輪44在拉引操作期間於第一方向R1上移動時,絲線捲繞器54相對於底座20在對應於纜線拉引方向的第一方向R1上樞轉。取決於拉引桿件18繞著第二桿件軸線A2的移動量,絲線捲繞器54能被移動預定位置中的一者或更多者。因此,定位棘輪44回應於被從靜置位置移動至操作位置之拉引桿件18而被從預定位置中的一者移動至預定位置中的一不同者。又,所變化的段階或預定位置的數目取決於使用者將拉引桿件18從靜置位置樞轉多遠。In order to realize the pulling operation of the
在此,拉引棘爪80包括凸部81及凸部82,凸部81及凸部82被建構成在拉引操作期間選擇性地接合定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a。拉引棘爪80藉由樞轉銷84而被可樞轉地安裝在拉引桿件18上。以此方式,凸部81及凸部82被選擇性地樞轉朝向及離開定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a。Here, the pulling
較佳地,如在所繪實施例中,拉引棘爪80被朝向與定位棘輪44的接合偏壓。在此,如圖14及圖15中所見,偏壓元件86被設置在拉引桿件18和拉引棘爪80之間,以用來將拉引棘爪80朝向與定位棘輪44的接合偏壓。例如,如在所繪實施例中,偏壓元件86能為扭力彈簧,此扭力彈簧具有安裝在樞轉銷84上的其線圈部分且具有分別與拉引桿件18及拉引棘爪80接合之相反自由端部。Preferably, as in the depicted embodiment, the
如圖30中所見,拉引桿件18位於靜置位置處,且定位棘輪44位於預定位置中的一者。在定位棘輪44的靜置位置,拉引棘爪80的凸部81被偏壓成與定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a中的一者接觸。以此方式,拉引棘爪80的凸部82被維持成未與定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a接觸。As seen in Fig. 30, the
由於偏壓元件86在所繪實施例中將拉引棘爪80朝向與定位棘輪44的接合偏壓,拉引棘爪80較佳地在釋放操作期間被移出定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a的路徑。在所繪實施例中,定位棘爪46a被建構成將拉引棘爪80從定位棘輪44脫離。特別地,定位棘爪46a被建構成回應於從固持位置朝向釋放位置移動之定位棘爪46a而將拉引棘爪80從定位棘輪44脫離。定位棘爪46a被建構成回應於定位棘爪46a從定位棘輪44的脫離移動而接觸拉引棘爪80的脫離部件88,以移動拉引棘爪80。以此方式,拉引棘爪80在釋放操作期間未干涉定位棘輪44於第二方向上的移動。Since the biasing
現在參照圖30至圖34,使用拉引桿件18的纜線拉引操作現在將被討論。在此,當拉引桿件18在第三操作方向D3被從靜置位置(圖30)朝向操作位置移動時,定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a中的一者接觸凸部82。特別地,拉引棘爪80接合定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a中的一者,以用來在第一方向R1上旋轉定位棘輪44。如圖34中所見,當拉引桿件18已經被釋放及返回至靜置位置時,凸部81接觸定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a,以致拉引棘爪80能卡住定位棘輪44的棘輪齒44a。Referring now to Figures 30-34, the cable pulling operation using the pulling
