- the expansion and contraction mechanism 71 is connected with an air pipe 76a for supplying actuating air to the piston side air chamber 75a and an air pipe 76b for supplying actuating air to the rod side air chamber 75b.
- Each of the air pipe 76a and the air pipe 76b intervenes a speed controller 85 which controls the flow velocity of the air supplied to the expansion and contraction mechanism 71 at a constant level.
- symbol "76" in FIG.12 and FIG.13 is a cover which covers the air pipe 76a and the air pipe 76b on the door main body 4a.
- the gear mechanism 72 is provided at the upper portion of the door main body 4a, and is configured of, for example, a rack 77a and a pinion 77b.
- the rack 77 a extends in the vertical direction, and is disposed above the recess 60.
- the rack 77 a is attached to the upper end portion of the piston rod 74 b, and moves up and down with the expansion and contraction of the expansion and contraction mechanism 71.
- Guide rollers 83 are provided at both ends in the width direction of the rack 77a. The guide rollers 83 rotate along guide rails 61 provided at both widthwise end portions of the recess 60.
- the pinion 77b meshes with the rack 77a, and rotates as the rack 77a moves up or down.
- the pinion 77 b is attached to an end of the upper rotation shaft 20 c.
- a separate gear may be interposed between the pinion 77 b and the upper rotation shaft 20 c.
- the upper rotation shaft 20c rotates with the pinion 77b.
- a cover (not shown) is provided at the open end of the recess 60.
- the cover body covers the extension mechanism 71, the rack 77a and the pinion 77b.
- the control device 73 includes an electromagnetic switching valve 79 that switches the supply destination of the operating air from the air supply line 78.
- the electromagnetic switching valve 79 can switch three positions: a non-operating position (see (a) in FIG. 11), an extended position (see (b) in FIG. 11), and a retracted position (see (c) in FIG. 11) It has become.
- the electromagnetic switching valve 79 is composed of a double solenoid provided with two solenoids.
- a Japan mode electrical signal line 80a is connected to one solenoid of the electromagnetic switching valve 79, and a Chinese mode electrical signal line 80b is connected to the other solenoid.
- the electromagnetic switching valve 79 is normally in the non-operating position.
- a filter regulator unit 84 is provided in the air supply line 78 so that air can be stably supplied.
- the control device 73 is provided at or near the driver's seat, and can be operated from the driver's seat.
- the control device 73 is provided at the driver's seat with a Japan mode side terminal, a China mode side terminal, and an electrical coupling (connection portion) selectively connected to each of these terminals. Connecting the electrical coupling to the Japan mode side terminal enables the Japan mode electrical signal line 80a, and connecting the electrical coupling to the Chinese mode side terminal enables the Chinese mode electrical signal line 80b.
- the procedure for switching between the exposed state and the non-exposed state will be described below.
- an electric coupling (not shown) is connected to the Japanese mode terminal at the driver's seat, and the brake pedal is depressed for about 3 seconds.
- the brake pedal serves as a switch for operating the power source.
- the switch is not limited to the brake pedal, and it may be any other switch provided that the driver does not accidentally switch and does not switch (a position not touched during driving). Good.
- the rack 77 a ascends to the upper end portion of the recess 60, and the reflector 10 is hidden from the vehicle body side of the plate 30 and is in the non-exposed state.
- the electromagnetic switching valve 79 returns to the non-operating position.
- the timing at which the electromagnetic switching valve 79 returns to the non-operating position is controlled by the timer 81a provided on the Japan mode electrical signal line 80a. That is, by keeping the time that the electromagnetic switching valve 79 is in the extended position for a fixed time by the timer 81a, the amount of rise of the rack 77a becomes constant, and the rack 77a is at a predetermined position (position corresponding to the unexposed state).
- the electromagnetic switching valve 79 When rising, the electromagnetic switching valve 79 returns to the non-operating position. As a result, the rack 77a is fixed in the raised position, and the unexposed state is maintained.
- the timer 81a is used in the present embodiment, the timer can be omitted when an electromagnetic switching valve provided with a solenoid that does not require a timer is used.
- the extension mechanism 71 retracts and the rack 77a descends, and the pinion 77b, the rotating shaft 20 and the plate member 30 rotate.
- the rack 77 a is lowered to the telescopic mechanism 71 side of the recess 60, and the reflector 10 is positioned on the rear surface of the plate 30 to be exposed.
- the electromagnetic switching valve 79 returns to the inoperative position.
- the timing at which the electromagnetic switching valve 79 returns to the non-operating position is controlled by the timer 81b provided on the Chinese mode electrical signal line 80b.
- the amount of descent of the rack 77a becomes constant by keeping the time that the electromagnetic switching valve 79 is in the retracted position for a fixed time by the timer 81b, and the rack 77a descends to a predetermined position (position corresponding to the exposed state). At this point, the electromagnetic switching valve 79 returns to the non-operating position. As a result, the rack 77a is fixed at the lowered position, and the exposed state is maintained.
- the exposed state and the non-exposed state of the reflector 10 can be automatically switched easily. Since the switching device 70 can be operated from the driver's seat, the switching operation can be easily performed without leaving the vehicle. In addition, it can be confirmed from the driver's seat whether it is in the exposed state or the non-exposed state.
- the electrical coupling is connected to the Japanese mode side terminal or the Chinese mode side terminal to perform switching, the domestic legal position can be automatically and reliably held in each country. That is, when the electrical coupling is connected to one of the mode side terminals, the other mode side terminal is in a disconnected state reliably. Therefore, each mode does not switch unless the driver works with a clear intention of switching. Furthermore, since the Japan mode electrical signal line 80a is connected to one solenoid of the electromagnetic switching valve 79 and the Chinese mode electrical signal line 80b is connected to the other solenoid, the electromagnetic switching valve 79 has one in each mode. Move only in the direction. Therefore, the extension mechanism 71 does not move in the reverse direction due to a malfunction (the rotation shaft 20 does not rotate in the reverse direction). Furthermore, a person can not freely rotate the rotating shaft 20. Therefore, in the driving state of the vehicle, it has a structure which can not be changed to the mode of another country even in the circuit or artificially (manually).
- the white reflector 10a is in either the exposed state or the non-exposed state.
- a sensor for detecting the presence or absence and a display means for displaying the detected result on the driver's seat are not provided, a sensor and a display means may be further provided. If these mechanisms are provided, the actual rotational state of the rotary shaft 20 can be grasped, so that the certainty of the mode selection can be further enhanced.
