Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to key interlock mechanisms for column automatic-transmission operating devices for motor vehicles, and more particularly, to a structural improvement in the key interlock mechanisms.
- A column automatic-transmission operating device includes a shift lever device mounted to a steering column so as to perform shift operation of an automatic transmission. The operating device is provided with a key lock mechanism which prevents a steering wheel from being rotated through disengagement of a lock pin from a key cylinder after removal of an ignition key in the parking (P) position of a shift or hand lever.
- Conventionally, according to one structure of the key interlock mechanism, a key lock lever of a key interlock part and a lock pin of a key lock unit are connected through a cable to allow interlocking motion. Specifically, as being mounted to the steering column at different sites distant from each other, the key lock lever and the key cylinder are linked through the cable. According to another structure of the key interlock mechanism, the key interlock part is directly coupled with the lock pin of the key lock unit without any cable.
- With the structure wherein the key interlock part and the lock pin of the key lock unit are connected through the cable, however, an inconvenience occurs that there is a need to provide cable space in a motor vehicle and carry out stringing and adjusting of the cable during its assemblage to the motor vehicle. On the other hand, with the structure wherein the key interlock part is directly coupled with the lock pin of the key lock unit, the key lock lever is directly rotated by the shift lever. This produces problems that a material of the key lock lever is limited to a metal due to required greater rigidity thereof, and that key interlock is difficult to achieve due to variations in parts with regard to their connection therebetween.
- It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide key interlock mechanisms for column automatic-transmission operating devices, which allow easy assemblage to motor vehicles and sure achievement of key interlock with a reduction in required space and manufacturing cost.
- Generally, the present invention provides a key interlock mechanism for a column automatic-transmission operating device with a shift lever with a detent arm, comprising:
- a bracket which rotatably supports the shift lever;
- a base secured to said bracket;
- a key lock unit secured to said bracket, said key lock unit comprising a key cylinder;
- a lock pin which can substantially orthogonally protrude into said key cylinder;
- a key lock lever having one end with a slot and another end, said key lock lever swingably supporting said lock pin through said slot, wherein the detent arm of the shift lever can abut on said key lock lever;
- a shank formed with one of said base and said another end of said key lock lever;
- a guide groove formed with another of said base and said another end of said key lock lever, said guide groove cooperating with said shank to rotatably support said key lock lever so as to bias said lock pin in a direction of protruding into said key cylinder; and
- a spring wound around said shank, said spring biasing said key lock lever so that said lock pin protrudes into said key cylinder, said spring returning to a given position said another end of said key lock lever which has moved along said guide groove.
- One aspect of the present invention is to provide an operating device for a column automatic transmission for a motor vehicle with a steering column, comprising:
- a shift lever with a detent arm;
- a bracket mounted to the steering column for rotatably supporting said shift lever;
- a base secured to said bracket;
- a key lock unit secured to said bracket, said key lock unit comprising a key cylinder;
- a lock pin which can substantially orthogonally protrude into said key cylinder;
- a key lock lever having one end with a slot and another end, said key lock lever swingably supporting said lock pin through said slot, wherein said detent arm of said shift lever can abut on said key lock lever;
- a shank formed with one of said base and said another end of said key lock lever;
- a guide groove formed with another of said base and said another end of said key lock lever, said guide groove cooperating with said shank to rotatably support said key lock lever so as to bias said lock pin in a direction of protruding into said key cylinder; and
- a spring wound around said shank, said spring biasing said key lock lever so that said lock pin protrudes into said key cylinder, said spring returning to a given position said another end of said key lock lever which has moved along said guide groove.

- Referring to the drawings, a description will be made with regard to a preferred embodiment of a key interlock mechanism for a column automatic-transmission operating device. Referring to FIGS.1-4, the key interlock mechanism for a column automatic-transmission operating device comprises a
key lock unit 1, abracket 2 to which thekey lock unit 1 is secured, and abase 3 which cooperates with thebracket 2 to hold ajacket tube 4 throughbolts 5. Thebracket 2 is secured to a steering column, not shown, in a well-known way. Anauxiliary bracket 2 a is disposed on and secured to thebracket 2. Thus, thejacket tube 4 and akey cylinder 1 a are arranged crosswise. - The
base 3 comprises a roughly sector-shaped plate 6, ahollow shank 6 a parallel to thejacket tube 4, and asolid shank 6 b orthogonal to thehollow shank 6 a, which are integrally formed with each other by casting. Ashaft 8 a of afree rotation part 8 is rotatably arranged through thehollow shank 6 a, whereas acrank lever 10 is rotatably engaged with thesolid shank 6 b through ahole 10 g. Thefree rotation part 8 serves to support a shift orhand lever 14 to be rotatable in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle body by receiving ahollow shank 14 c of thehand lever 14 in anopening 8 d, and arranging ashaft 15 through thefree rotation part 8 and thehand lever 14. - The
free rotation part 8 comprises aball portion 8 b protruding sideward and astopper 8 c which are integrated with each other. Theball portion 8 b engages with anengagement 10 c of thecrank lever 10, whereas thestopper 8 c abuts on abottom 6 e of theplate 6 obtained by bending its lower end backward to serve as a rotation stop. - A moderating
member 12 with a corrugated surface is integrally coupled with thecrank lever 10 through amounting portion 10 e. When shifting thehand lever 14, themoderating member 12 provides a feeling of moderation by slide contact with an end of aplate spring 13 secured to amounting portion 6 c of theplate 6. Aprotrusion 10 a is arranged with thecrank lever 10 to engage with an end of a shift cable, not shown, introduced via a cable guide 11. - The
hand lever 14 comprises adetent pin 14 b protruding frontward of thehollow shank 14 c and adetent arm 14 a arranged at the back of the hollow shank to extend downward. Thedetent pin 14 b engages with and releases from aposition plate 6 d secured to the rear face of theplate 6 so as to establish a shift stage of an automatic transmission. Thedetent arm 14 a abuts on akey lock lever 16 supported by aunit base 7 to rotate thekey lock lever 16. Theunit base 7 is secured to a unit-base mounting bracket 6 f formed in a lower portion of theplate 6. - As seen in FIG. 4, the
key lock lever 16 is in the form of a resin molding, having one end with which ashank 16 a is integrated and another end bifurcated into upper and lower portions withrespective slots 16 b. Upper and lower ends of theshank 16 a are supported inguide grooves 7 a formed with theunit base 7. In the illustrative embodiment, theguide groove 7 a is in the form of a closed slot with an end closed. Optionally, theguide groove 7 a may be in the form of a slot without closing an end. A keylock lever spring 18 is wound around theshank 16 a, and has two crossed ends, one of which engaging with anengagement 7 c formed with theunit base 7 and another of which abutting on aprotrusion 16 c integrated with thekey lock lever 16. Referring also to FIG. 5,pins 19 a protrude from the outer peripheral surface of alock pin 19 to face each other in the diametral direction. Thepins 19 a engage with therespective slots 16 b to allow thelock pin 19 to move along theslots 16 b. - Thus, referring to FIGS. 5 and 7A, since the
key lock lever 16 is always biased counterclockwise as viewed in FIG. 5, i.e. in the direction of arrow A about theshank 16 a, thelock pin 19 is always fitted in a key cylinder la as shown in FIG. 7A, wherein arotator 21 which rotates together with a key 20 is prevented by thelock pin 19 from rotating from an OFF position to a LOCK position. As a result, the key 20 cannot be removed from thekey cylinder 1 a. - This state corresponds to the state where the
hand lever 14 is operated to have thedetent pin 14 b shifted in any range of theposition plate 6 d other than P range. When operating thehand lever 14 to have thedetent pin 14 b shifted to the P range of theposition plate 6 d, thedetent arm 14 a abuts on thekey lock lever 16 as shown by two-dot chain line in FIG. 5 to rotate the key lock lever clockwise as viewed in FIG. 5 about theshank 16 a. Thus, referring also to FIG. 7B, thelock pin 19 is moved to separate from thekey cylinder 1 a, i.e. in the direction of arrow B in FIG. 5, thelock pin 19 which has prevented rotation of therotator 21 goes out of the rotation range of therotator 21. This allows the key 20 to rotate to the LOCK position where the key 20 can be removed from thekey cylinder 1 a. - Referring to FIG. 6, upon shift operation of the
hand lever 14, if thedetent arm 14 a strongly abuts on thekey lock lever 16 to inattentively provide an excessive force to thekey lock lever 16, theshank 16 a of thekey lock lever 16 can move along theguide grooves 7 a in the direction of arrow C in FIG. 6. Here, both ends of the keylock lever spring 18 engage with or abut on theengagement 7 c and theprotrusion 16 c, respectively, so that key lock lever spring undergoes a winding force to absorb energy of the force. And the energized keylock lever spring 18 can return theshank 16 a to a given position along theguide grooves 7 a. - Thus, even if an excessive force is applied to the
key lock lever 16 when the key lock lever rotates as thedetent arm 14 a is swung by shift operation of thehand lever 14, the ends of theshank 16 a of thekey lock lever 16 movably supported in therespective guide grooves 7 a can move in the range of therespective guide grooves 7 a. This can involve winding of the keylock lever spring 18 to absorb energy of the force, enabling absorption of an impact on thedetent arm 14 a. Therefore, there is no potential of fracture or breakage of thekey lock lever 16. - Having described the present invention with regard to the preferred embodiment, it is noted that the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. By way of example, in the illustrative embodiment, the
guide grooves 7 a are formed with theunit base 7, and theshank 16 a of thekey lock lever 16 is constructed to be movable in theguide grooves 7 a. Optionally, the guide groove(s) may be formed with another end of thekey lock lever 16, and a shank may be formed with theunit base 7 to engage with the guide groove(s). In this case, the keylock lever spring 18 is wound around the shank of theunit base 7. - The entire contents of Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-37393 are incorporated hereby by reference.
