Abstract

In a shift device (10), a first rotor cam (26) is rotated, causing a moderating body (20) to move toward a lower side, and thus the action of an impelling force of the moderating body (20) on a knob (14) is released. Furthermore, a second rotor cam is rotated, causing the knob (14) to rotate, and thus the knob (14) is positioned in a "P" position. Consequently, the second rotor cam can be used to cause the knob (14) to rotate, separately from the movement of the moderating body (20) toward the lower side using the first rotor cam (26).

　ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置（所定シフト位置）以外に配置された状態（ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置以外に配置されることがシフトギヤ１８によって検出された状態）で車両のエンジンがＯＦＦにされた場合（所定の機会）には、駆動機構３０が逆駆動されて、駆動ギヤ３２（第１ギヤ３２Ａ及び第２ギヤ３２Ｂ）が逆方向に回転されることで、第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８がそれぞれ第１基準位置及び第２基準位置から他方向に回転される。 The engine of the vehicle is turned off in a state where the knob 14 is disposed at a position other than the “P” position (predetermined shift position) (a state where the shift gear 18 detects that the knob 14 is disposed at a position other than the “P” position) In the case (predetermined opportunity), the drive mechanism 30 is reversely driven, and the drive gear 32 (the first gear 32A and the second gear 32B) is rotated in the opposite direction, whereby the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28 are rotated in the other direction from the first and second reference positions, respectively.
　このため、第１ロータカム２６の駆動突起２６Ａが、節度体２０の動作面２０Ｂから傾斜面２０Ａを介して解除面２０Ｃの上側に移動されて、節度体２０をスプリング２４の付勢力に抗して下側に移動させることで、節度ピン２２の凹部１６Ａへの挿入が解除されて、スプリング２４の付勢力のノブ１４への作用が解除される。その後、第２ロータカム２８の回転柱２８Ａが、ノブ１４の回転突起１４Ａに当接されて、回転突起１４Ａを他方向に回転させることで、ノブ１４が、他方向に回転されて、「Ｐ」位置に配置される。このため、ノブ１４が第２ロータカム２８によって回転される際には、ノブ１４がスプリング２４の付勢力を作用されない状態で回転される。 Therefore, the drive projection 26A of the first rotor cam 26 is moved to the upper side of the release surface 20C from the operating surface 20B of the detent body 20 via the inclined surface 20A, and the detent body 20 resists the biasing force of the spring 24. By moving it downward, the insertion of the moderation pin 22 into the recess 16A is released, and the action of the biasing force of the spring 24 on the knob 14 is released. Thereafter, the rotation post 28A of the second rotor cam 28 is abutted against the rotation projection 14A of the knob 14 and the rotation projection 14A is rotated in the other direction, whereby the knob 14 is rotated in the other direction, "P". Placed in position. Therefore, when the knob 14 is rotated by the second rotor cam 28, the knob 14 is rotated in a state where the biasing force of the spring 24 is not applied.
　ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に配置された際（ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に配置されたことがシフトギヤ１８によって検出された際）には、駆動機構３０が正駆動されて、駆動ギヤ３２（第１ギヤ３２Ａ及び第２ギヤ３２Ｂ）が正方向に回転されることで、第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８が、一方向に回転されて、それぞれ第１基準位置及び第２基準位置に配置（復帰）される。第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８がそれぞれ第１基準位置及び第２基準位置に配置された際（第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８がそれぞれ第１基準位置及び第２基準位置に配置されたことが回転ギヤ３４によって検出された際）には、駆動機構３０の正駆動が停止される。 When the knob 14 is disposed at the “P” position (when the shift gear 18 detects that the knob 14 is disposed at the “P” position), the drive mechanism 30 is positively driven, and the drive gear 32 (the By rotating the first gear 32A and the second gear 32B in the positive direction, the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28 are rotated in one direction, and arranged at the first reference position and the second reference position, respectively. (Return). When the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28 are disposed at the first reference position and the second reference position, respectively (the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28 are disposed at the first reference position and the second reference position, respectively) Is detected by the rotary gear 34), the positive drive of the drive mechanism 30 is stopped.
　このため、第１ロータカム２６の駆動突起２６Ａが節度体２０の解除面２０Ｃから傾斜面２０Ａを介して動作面２０Ｂの上側に移動されて、節度体２０がスプリング２４の付勢力により上側に移動されることで、節度ピン２２が凹部１６Ａに挿入されて、スプリング２４の付勢力によりノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に保持される。さらに、第２ロータカム２８の回転柱２８Ａがノブ１４の回転突起１４Ａに対し一方向側に離間されることで、ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置と「Ｄ」位置との間を回転されても回転突起１４Ａが回転柱２８Ａに当接不能にされる。 Therefore, the drive projection 26A of the first rotor cam 26 is moved from the release surface 20C of the detent body 20 to the upper side of the operating surface 20B via the inclined surface 20A, and the detent body 20 is moved upward by the biasing force of the spring 24. Thus, the moderation pin 22 is inserted into the recess 16A, and the biasing force of the spring 24 holds the knob 14 in the "P" position. Furthermore, the rotary column 28A of the second rotor cam 28 is separated in one direction with respect to the rotary projection 14A of the knob 14, whereby the knob 14 rotates even if it is rotated between the "P" position and the "D" position. The protrusion 14A can not abut on the rotary column 28A.
　ここで、第１ロータカム２６（駆動突起２６Ａ）が回転されて、節度体２０が下側に移動されると共に、第２ロータカム２８（回転柱２８Ａ）が回転されて、ノブ１４（回転突起１４Ａ）が回転される。このため、第１ロータカム２６による節度体２０の下側への移動とは別に第２ロータカム２８によってノブ１４を回転させることができる。 Here, the first rotor cam 26 (drive projection 26A) is rotated to move the detent body 20 downward, and the second rotor cam 28 (rotational column 28A) is rotated to move the knob 14 (rotational projection 14A). Is rotated. Therefore, the knob 14 can be rotated by the second rotor cam 28 separately from the downward movement of the clickable body 20 by the first rotor cam 26.
　さらに、第２ロータカム２８の回転角速度が第１ロータカム２６の回転角速度に比し大きくされる。このため、ノブ１４の「Ｐ」位置への回転角速度を大きくできて、ノブ１４を「Ｐ」位置に回転させる動作時間を短くできる。しかも、第１ロータカム２６の回転角速度が小さいことで、ノブ１４を「Ｐ」位置に回転させる際における第１ロータカム２６の他方向への回転量を小さくでき、節度体２０の解除面２０Ｃの周方向寸法を小さくできて、節度体２０の構成の自由度を向上できる。 Furthermore, the rotational angular velocity of the second rotor cam 28 is made larger than the rotational angular velocity of the first rotor cam 26. Therefore, the rotational angular velocity of the knob 14 to the “P” position can be increased, and the operation time for rotating the knob 14 to the “P” position can be shortened. Moreover, since the rotational angular velocity of the first rotor cam 26 is small, the amount of rotation of the first rotor cam 26 in the other direction when rotating the knob 14 to the “P” position can be reduced, and the circumference of the release surface 20C of the moderation body 20. The directional dimension can be reduced, and the degree of freedom of the configuration of the moderation body 20 can be improved.
　また、第１ロータカム２６の軸方向（回転軸方向）下側に第２ロータカム２８が配置されている。このため、シフト装置１０を第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８の径方向（回転径方向）において小型化できる。 In addition, the second rotor cam 28 is disposed below the first rotor cam 26 in the axial direction (rotational axis direction). Therefore, the shift device 10 can be miniaturized in the radial direction (rotational radial direction) of the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28.
　［第２実施形態］
　図３Ａには、本発明の第２実施形態に係るシフト装置５０の主要部が上方から見た平面図にて示されており、図３Ｂには、図３Ａの３Ｂ－３Ｂ線断面図が示されている。 Second Embodiment
FIG. 3A is a plan view of the main part of the shift device 50 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along line 3B-3B of FIG. 3A. It is done.
　本実施形態に係るシフト装置５０は、上記第１実施形態と、ほぼ同様の構成であるが、以下の点で異なる。 The shift device 50 according to the present embodiment has substantially the same configuration as the first embodiment but differs in the following points.
　本実施形態に係るシフト装置５０では、節度体２０の傾斜面２０Ａが他方向側へ向かうに従い下側へ向かう方向に傾斜されており、節度体２０の動作面２０Ｂは、傾斜面２０Ａより他方向側に配置されると共に、節度体２０の解除面２０Ｃは、傾斜面２０Ａより一方向側に配置されている。 In the shift device 50 according to the present embodiment, the inclined surface 20A of the moderation body 20 is inclined in the downward direction toward the other direction side, and the operation surface 20B of the moderation body 20 is in the other direction from the inclined surface 20A. The release surface 20C of the moderation body 20 is disposed on one side of the inclined surface 20A.
　図３Ａ及び図３Ｂに示す如く、第２ロータカム２８の径寸法は、第１ロータカム２６の径寸法に比し大きくされており、第２ロータカム２８は、第１ロータカム２６の径方向外側に同軸上に配置されると共に、第１ロータカム２６の上下方向位置に配置されている。 As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the diameter dimension of the second rotor cam 28 is larger than the diameter dimension of the first rotor cam 26, and the second rotor cam 28 is coaxial with the radially outer side of the first rotor cam 26. And the first rotor cam 26 in the vertical direction.
　駆動機構３０の駆動ギヤ３２は、２つのギヤ（第１ギヤ３２Ａ及び第２ギヤ３２Ｂ）が設けられずに、１つのギヤにされており、駆動ギヤ３２は、第１ロータカム２６と第２ロータカム２８との間に配置されて、第１ロータカム２６の外周側と第２ロータカム２８の内周側とに噛合されている。駆動機構３０が駆動された際には、駆動ギヤ３２が正方向（図３Ａの矢印Ｃの方向）及び逆方向（図３Ａの矢印Ｄの方向）に回転されて、それぞれ、第１ロータカム２６が一方向及び他方向に回転されると共に、第２ロータカム２８が他方向及び一方向に回転される。また、第２ロータカム２８の回転角速度は、第１ロータカム２６の回転角速度に比し小さくされる。 The drive gear 32 of the drive mechanism 30 is one gear without providing two gears (the first gear 32A and the second gear 32B), and the drive gear 32 includes a first rotor cam 26 and a second rotor cam. 28 and is engaged with the outer peripheral side of the first rotor cam 26 and the inner peripheral side of the second rotor cam 28. When the drive mechanism 30 is driven, the drive gear 32 is rotated in the forward direction (direction of arrow C in FIG. 3A) and in the reverse direction (direction of arrow D in FIG. 3A), and the first rotor cam 26 is respectively rotated. The second rotor cam 28 is rotated in the other direction and in one direction while being rotated in one direction and the other direction. Further, the rotational angular velocity of the second rotor cam 28 is smaller than the rotational angular velocity of the first rotor cam 26.
　回転ギヤ３４は、駆動ギヤ３２の第１ロータカム２６とは反対側に配置されて、第２ロータカム２８の下側に配置されている。 The rotary gear 34 is disposed on the opposite side of the drive gear 32 to the first rotor cam 26, and is disposed below the second rotor cam 28.
　ところで、ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置（所定シフト位置）以外に配置された状態（ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置以外に配置されることがシフトギヤ１８によって検出された状態）で車両のエンジンがＯＦＦにされた場合（所定の機会）には、駆動機構３０が正駆動されて、駆動ギヤ３２が正方向に回転されることで、第１ロータカム２６が第１基準位置から一方向に回転されると共に、第２ロータカム２８が第２基準位置から他方向に回転される。 By the way, the engine of the vehicle is turned off in a state in which the knob 14 is disposed at a position other than the “P” position (predetermined shift position) (a state in which the knob 14 is disposed at a position other than the “P” position) When it is determined (predetermined opportunity), the drive mechanism 30 is positively driven to rotate the drive gear 32 in the positive direction, whereby the first rotor cam 26 is rotated in one direction from the first reference position. , And the second rotor cam 28 is rotated in the other direction from the second reference position.
　このため、第１ロータカム２６の駆動突起２６Ａが、節度体２０の動作面２０Ｂから傾斜面２０Ａを介して解除面２０Ｃの上側に移動されて、節度体２０をスプリング２４の付勢力に抗して下側に移動させることで、節度ピン２２の凹部１６Ａへの挿入が解除されて、スプリング２４の付勢力のノブ１４への作用が解除される。その後、第２ロータカム２８の回転柱２８Ａが、ノブ１４の回転突起１４Ａに当接されて、回転突起１４Ａを他方向に回転させることで、ノブ１４が、他方向に回転されて、「Ｐ」位置に配置される。このため、ノブ１４が第２ロータカム２８によって回転される際には、ノブ１４がスプリング２４の付勢力を作用されない状態で回転される。 Therefore, the drive projection 26A of the first rotor cam 26 is moved to the upper side of the release surface 20C from the operating surface 20B of the detent body 20 via the inclined surface 20A, and the detent body 20 resists the biasing force of the spring 24. By moving it downward, the insertion of the moderation pin 22 into the recess 16A is released, and the action of the biasing force of the spring 24 on the knob 14 is released. Thereafter, the rotation post 28A of the second rotor cam 28 is abutted against the rotation projection 14A of the knob 14 and the rotation projection 14A is rotated in the other direction, whereby the knob 14 is rotated in the other direction, "P". Placed in position. Therefore, when the knob 14 is rotated by the second rotor cam 28, the knob 14 is rotated in a state where the biasing force of the spring 24 is not applied.
　ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に配置された際（ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に配置されたことがシフトギヤ１８によって検出された際）には、駆動機構３０が逆駆動されて、駆動ギヤ３２が逆方向に回転されることで、第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８が、それぞれ、他方向及び一方向に回転されて、第１基準位置及び第２基準位置に配置（復帰）される。第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８がそれぞれ第１基準位置及び第２基準位置に配置された際（第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８がそれぞれ第１基準位置及び第２基準位置に配置されたことが回転ギヤ３４によって検出された際）には、駆動機構３０の正駆動が停止される。 When the knob 14 is disposed at the “P” position (when the shift gear 18 detects that the knob 14 is disposed at the “P” position), the drive mechanism 30 is reversely driven to drive the drive gear 32. By rotating in the reverse direction, the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28 are respectively rotated in the other direction and in one direction, and arranged (returned) to the first reference position and the second reference position. When the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28 are disposed at the first reference position and the second reference position, respectively (the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28 are disposed at the first reference position and the second reference position, respectively) Is detected by the rotary gear 34), the positive drive of the drive mechanism 30 is stopped.
　このため、第１ロータカム２６の駆動突起２６Ａが節度体２０の解除面２０Ｃから傾斜面２０Ａを介して動作面２０Ｂの上側に移動されて、節度体２０がスプリング２４の付勢力により上側に移動されることで、節度ピン２２が凹部１６Ａに挿入されて、スプリング２４の付勢力によりノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に保持される。さらに、第２ロータカム２８の回転柱２８Ａがノブ１４の回転突起１４Ａに対し一方向側に離間されることで、ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置と「Ｄ」位置との間を回転されても回転突起１４Ａが回転柱２８Ａに当接不能にされる。 Therefore, the drive projection 26A of the first rotor cam 26 is moved from the release surface 20C of the detent body 20 to the upper side of the operating surface 20B via the inclined surface 20A, and the detent body 20 is moved upward by the biasing force of the spring 24. Thus, the moderation pin 22 is inserted into the recess 16A, and the biasing force of the spring 24 holds the knob 14 in the "P" position. Furthermore, the rotary column 28A of the second rotor cam 28 is separated in one direction with respect to the rotary projection 14A of the knob 14, whereby the knob 14 rotates even if it is rotated between the "P" position and the "D" position. The protrusion 14A can not abut on the rotary column 28A.
　ここで、第１ロータカム２６（駆動突起２６Ａ）が回転されて、節度体２０が下側に移動されると共に、第２ロータカム２８（回転柱２８Ａ）が回転されて、ノブ１４（回転突起１４Ａ）が回転される。このため、第１ロータカム２６による節度体２０の下側への移動とは別に第２ロータカム２８によってノブ１４を回転させることができる。 Here, the first rotor cam 26 (drive projection 26A) is rotated to move the detent body 20 downward, and the second rotor cam 28 (rotational column 28A) is rotated to move the knob 14 (rotational projection 14A). Is rotated. Therefore, the knob 14 can be rotated by the second rotor cam 28 separately from the downward movement of the clickable body 20 by the first rotor cam 26.
　さらに、第２ロータカム２８の回転角速度が第１ロータカム２６の回転角速度に比し小さくされる。このため、第２ロータカム２８の回転柱２８Ａがノブ１４の回転突起１４Ａに当接する当接音を小さくできて、ノブ１４を「Ｐ」位置に回転させる動作の静音性を向上できる。 Furthermore, the rotational angular velocity of the second rotor cam 28 is smaller than the rotational angular velocity of the first rotor cam 26. For this reason, the contact noise with which the rotary column 28A of the second rotor cam 28 contacts the rotary projection 14A of the knob 14 can be reduced, and the noise reduction of the operation of rotating the knob 14 to the "P" position can be improved.
　また、第１ロータカム２６の径方向（回転径方向）外側に第２ロータカム２８が配置されている。このため、シフト装置５０を第１ロータカム２６及び第２ロータカム２８の軸方向（回転軸方向）において小型化できる。 Further, the second rotor cam 28 is disposed on the outer side in the radial direction (rotational radial direction) of the first rotor cam 26. Therefore, the shift device 50 can be miniaturized in the axial direction (rotational axis direction) of the first rotor cam 26 and the second rotor cam 28.
　［第３実施形態］
　図４には、本発明の第３実施形態に係るシフト装置６０の主要部が上方から見た平面図にて示されている。 Third Embodiment
FIG. 4 shows a main part of a shift device 60 according to a third embodiment of the present invention in a plan view seen from above.
　本実施形態に係るシフト装置６０は、上記第１実施形態と、ほぼ同様の構成であるが、以下の点で異なる。 The shift device 60 according to the present embodiment has substantially the same configuration as that of the first embodiment but differs in the following points.
　本実施形態に係るシフト装置６０では、上記第１実施形態の第２ロータカム２８が設けられておらず、シフトギヤ１８が第２回転体として機能する。シフトギヤ１８の外周には、被回転部としての移動突起１８Ａが一体に設けられており、移動突起１８Ａは、シフトギヤ１８の径方向（回転径方向）外側に突出されている。シフトギヤ１８は、ノブ１４が一方向に回転されて第１方向（図４の矢印Ｅの方向）に回転されると共に、ノブ１４が他方向に回転されて第２方向（図４の矢印Ｆの方向）に回転される。 In the shift device 60 according to the present embodiment, the second rotor cam 28 of the first embodiment is not provided, and the shift gear 18 functions as a second rotating body. A moving projection 18A as a portion to be rotated is integrally provided on the outer periphery of the shift gear 18, and the moving projection 18A protrudes outward in the radial direction (rotational radial direction) of the shift gear 18. The shift gear 18 is rotated in one direction (the direction of arrow E in FIG. 4) while the knob 14 is rotated in one direction, and is rotated in the other direction while the knob 14 is rotated in the other direction (arrow F of FIG. Direction) is rotated.
　駆動機構３０の駆動ギヤ３２は、２つのギヤ（第１ギヤ３２Ａ及び第２ギヤ３２Ｂ）が設けられずに、１つのギヤにされており、駆動ギヤ３２は、第１ロータカム２６の外周側及び回転ギヤ３４に噛合されている。また、回転ギヤ３４は、駆動機構３０を構成している。 The drive gear 32 of the drive mechanism 30 is a single gear without providing two gears (the first gear 32A and the second gear 32B), and the drive gear 32 has an outer peripheral side of the first rotor cam 26 and It is meshed with the rotating gear 34. The rotary gear 34 also constitutes a drive mechanism 30.
　駆動機構３０には、作動体としての略円環状の作動ギヤ６２が設けられており、作動ギヤ６２は、プレート１２の上側に回転可能に支持されている。作動ギヤ６２は、回転ギヤ３４に噛合されており、回転ギヤ３４の回転位置が検出されることで、作動ギヤ６２の回転位置が検出される。作動ギヤ６２の径寸法は、シフトギヤ１８の径寸法に比し大きくされており、作動ギヤ６２は、シフトギヤ１８の径方向外側に同軸上に配置されると共に、シフトギヤ１８の上下方向位置に配置されている。作動ギヤ６２の径寸法及び回転ギヤ３４の径寸法は、第１ロータカム２６の径寸法に比し小さくされており、作動ギヤ６２の回転角速度は、第１ロータカム２６の回転角速度に比し大きくされる。 The drive mechanism 30 is provided with a substantially annular operating gear 62 as an operating body, and the operating gear 62 is rotatably supported on the upper side of the plate 12. The operating gear 62 is engaged with the rotating gear 34, and the rotational position of the operating gear 62 is detected by detecting the rotational position of the rotating gear 34. The diametrical dimension of the actuating gear 62 is larger than the diametrical dimension of the shift gear 18, and the actuating gear 62 is coaxially disposed radially outward of the shift gear 18 and disposed at the vertical position of the shift gear 18. ing. The diameter of the operating gear 62 and the diameter of the rotating gear 34 are smaller than the diameter of the first rotor cam 26, and the rotational angular velocity of the operating gear 62 is larger than the rotational angular velocity of the first rotor cam 26. Ru.
　作動ギヤ６２の内周には、回転部としての作動突起６２Ａが一体に設けられており、作動突起６２Ａは、作動ギヤ６２の径方向（回転径方向）内側に突出されている。作動ギヤ６２の回転位置は、第３基準位置（第３スタート位置）に配置されており、作動突起６２Ａは、シフトギヤ１８の移動突起１８Ａに対し第１方向側に離間されて、ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置と「Ｄ」位置との間を回転されてシフトギヤ１８が回転されても移動突起１８Ａが当接不能にされている。 An actuating protrusion 62A as a rotating portion is integrally provided on the inner periphery of the actuating gear 62, and the actuating protrusion 62A protrudes inward in the radial direction (rotational radial direction) of the actuating gear 62. The rotational position of the actuating gear 62 is disposed at a third reference position (third start position), and the actuating projection 62A is separated in the first direction side with respect to the moving projection 18A of the shift gear 18 so that the knob 14 Even if the shift gear 18 is rotated by being rotated between the P "position and the" D "position, the moving projection 18A can not abut.
　ところで、ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置（所定シフト位置）以外に配置された状態（ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置以外に配置されることがシフトギヤ１８によって検出された状態）で車両のエンジンがＯＦＦにされた場合（所定の機会）には、駆動機構３０が逆駆動されて、駆動ギヤ３２が逆方向に回転されることで、第１ロータカム２６が第１基準位置から他方向に回転されると共に、回転ギヤ３４を介して作動ギヤ６２が第３基準位置から第２方向に回転される。 By the way, the engine of the vehicle is turned off in a state in which the knob 14 is disposed at a position other than the “P” position (predetermined shift position) (a state in which the knob 14 is disposed at a position other than the “P” position) In the case where the first rotor cam 26 is rotated in the other direction from the first reference position, the drive mechanism 30 is reversely driven and the drive gear 32 is rotated in the opposite direction (predetermined opportunity). The operating gear 62 is rotated in the second direction from the third reference position via the rotating gear 34.
　このため、第１ロータカム２６の駆動突起２６Ａが、節度体２０の動作面２０Ｂから傾斜面２０Ａを介して解除面２０Ｃの上側に移動されて、節度体２０をスプリング２４の付勢力に抗して下側に移動させることで、節度ピン２２の凹部１６Ａへの挿入が解除されて、スプリング２４の付勢力のノブ１４への作用が解除される。その後、作動ギヤ６２の作動突起６２Ａが、シフトギヤ１８の移動突起１８Ａに当接されて、移動突起１８Ａを第２方向に回転させることで、ノブ１４が、シフトギヤ１８によって他方向に回転されて、「Ｐ」位置に配置される。このため、ノブ１４がシフトギヤ１８によって回転される際には、ノブ１４がスプリング２４の付勢力を作用されない状態で回転される。 Therefore, the drive projection 26A of the first rotor cam 26 is moved to the upper side of the release surface 20C from the operating surface 20B of the detent body 20 via the inclined surface 20A, and the detent body 20 resists the biasing force of the spring 24. By moving it downward, the insertion of the moderation pin 22 into the recess 16A is released, and the action of the biasing force of the spring 24 on the knob 14 is released. Thereafter, the actuating protrusion 62A of the actuating gear 62 abuts on the moving protrusion 18A of the shift gear 18 to rotate the moving protrusion 18A in the second direction, whereby the knob 14 is rotated in the other direction by the shift gear 18 It is placed in the "P" position. Therefore, when the knob 14 is rotated by the shift gear 18, the knob 14 is rotated in a state where the biasing force of the spring 24 is not applied.
　ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に配置された際（ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に配置されたことがシフトギヤ１８によって検出された際）には、駆動機構３０が正駆動されて、駆動ギヤ３２が正方向に回転されることで、第１ロータカム２６が一方向に回転されて第１基準位置に配置（復帰）されると共に、回転ギヤ３４を介して作動ギヤ６２が第１方向に回転されて第３基準位置に配置（復帰）される。第１ロータカム２６及び作動ギヤ６２がそれぞれ第１基準位置及び第３基準位置に配置された際（第１ロータカム２６及び作動ギヤ６２がそれぞれ第１基準位置及び第３基準位置に配置されたことが回転ギヤ３４によって検出された際）には、駆動機構３０の正駆動が停止される。 When the knob 14 is disposed at the “P” position (when the shift gear 18 detects that the knob 14 is disposed at the “P” position), the drive mechanism 30 is positively driven to drive the drive gear 32. By being rotated in the forward direction, the first rotor cam 26 is rotated in one direction to be placed (returned) to the first reference position, and the operating gear 62 is rotated in the first direction via the rotating gear 34. It is arranged (returned) at the third reference position. When the first rotor cam 26 and the operating gear 62 are disposed at the first reference position and the third reference position, respectively (the first rotor cam 26 and the operating gear 62 are disposed at the first reference position and the third reference position, respectively) When detected by the rotating gear 34), the positive drive of the drive mechanism 30 is stopped.
　このため、第１ロータカム２６の駆動突起２６Ａが節度体２０の解除面２０Ｃから傾斜面２０Ａを介して動作面２０Ｂの上側に移動されて、節度体２０がスプリング２４の付勢力により上側に移動されることで、節度ピン２２が凹部１６Ａに挿入されて、スプリング２４の付勢力によりノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に保持される。さらに、作動ギヤ６２の作動突起６２Ａがシフトギヤ１８の移動突起１８Ａに対し第１方向側に離間されることで、ノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置と「Ｄ」位置との間を回転されてシフトギヤ１８が回転されても移動突起１８Ａが作動突起６２Ａに当接不能にされる。 Therefore, the drive projection 26A of the first rotor cam 26 is moved from the release surface 20C of the detent body 20 to the upper side of the operating surface 20B via the inclined surface 20A, and the detent body 20 is moved upward by the biasing force of the spring 24. Thus, the moderation pin 22 is inserted into the recess 16A, and the biasing force of the spring 24 holds the knob 14 in the "P" position. Furthermore, the actuating protrusion 62A of the actuating gear 62 is separated in the first direction side with respect to the moving protrusion 18A of the shift gear 18, so that the knob 14 is rotated between the “P” position and the “D” position. The movable projection 18A can not abut on the actuating projection 62A even when it is rotated.
　ここで、第１ロータカム２６（駆動突起２６Ａ）が回転されて、節度体２０が下側に移動されると共に、シフトギヤ１８が回転されて、ノブ１４が回転される。このため、第１ロータカム２６による節度体２０の下側への移動とは別にシフトギヤ１８によってノブ１４を回転させることができる。 Here, the first rotor cam 26 (drive projection 26A) is rotated to move the moderator 20 downward, and the shift gear 18 is rotated to rotate the knob 14. Therefore, the knob 14 can be rotated by the shift gear 18 separately from the downward movement of the moderator 20 by the first rotor cam 26.
　さらに、シフトギヤ１８の回転角速度が第１ロータカム２６の回転角速度に比し大きくされる。このため、ノブ１４の「Ｐ」位置への回転角速度を大きくできて、ノブ１４を「Ｐ」位置に回転させる動作時間を短くできる。しかも、第１ロータカム２６の回転角速度が小さいことで、ノブ１４を「Ｐ」位置に回転させる際における第１ロータカム２６の他方向への回転量を小さくでき、節度体２０の解除面２０Ｃの周方向寸法を小さくできて、節度体２０の構成の自由度を向上できる。 Furthermore, the rotational angular velocity of the shift gear 18 is made larger than the rotational angular velocity of the first rotor cam 26. Therefore, the rotational angular velocity of the knob 14 to the “P” position can be increased, and the operation time for rotating the knob 14 to the “P” position can be shortened. Moreover, since the rotational angular velocity of the first rotor cam 26 is small, the amount of rotation of the first rotor cam 26 in the other direction when rotating the knob 14 to the “P” position can be reduced, and the circumference of the release surface 20C of the moderation body 20. The directional dimension can be reduced, and the degree of freedom of the configuration of the moderation body 20 can be improved.
　また、第１ロータカム２６の径方向（回転径方向）外側にシフトギヤ１８が配置されている。このため、シフト装置６０を第１ロータカム２６及びシフトギヤ１８の軸方向（回転軸方向）において小型化できる。 Further, the shift gear 18 is disposed on the outer side in the radial direction (rotational radial direction) of the first rotor cam 26. Therefore, the shift device 60 can be miniaturized in the axial direction (rotational axis direction) of the first rotor cam 26 and the shift gear 18.
　さらに、シフトギヤ１８が、ノブ１４の回転位置を検出すると共に、ノブ１４を回転させる。このため、ノブ１４の回転位置を検出する部材とノブ１４を回転させる部材とが同一のシフトギヤ１８にされることで、シフトギヤ１８によるノブ１４の回転位置の精度を高くできる。 Furthermore, the shift gear 18 detects the rotational position of the knob 14 and rotates the knob 14. Therefore, by using the same shift gear 18 as the member for detecting the rotational position of the knob 14 and the member for rotating the knob 14, the accuracy of the rotational position of the knob 14 by the shift gear 18 can be increased.
　なお、上記第１実施形態～第３実施形態では、駆動機構３０が駆動されてノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置に回転される。しかしながら、駆動機構３０が駆動されてノブ１４が「Ｐ」位置以外のシフト位置に回転されてもよい。 In the first to third embodiments, the drive mechanism 30 is driven to rotate the knob 14 to the “P” position. However, the drive mechanism 30 may be driven to rotate the knob 14 to a shift position other than the "P" position.
　さらに、上記第１実施形態～第３実施形態では、ノブ１４の軸方向（回転軸方向）において節度ピン２２が凹部１６Ａに挿入される。しかしながら、例えばノブ１４の径方向（回転径方向）において節度ピン２２が凹部１６Ａに挿入されてもよい。 Furthermore, in the first to third embodiments, the moderation pin 22 is inserted into the recess 16A in the axial direction (rotational axis direction) of the knob 14. However, for example, the moderation pin 22 may be inserted into the recess 16A in the radial direction (rotational radial direction) of the knob 14.
　また、上記第１実施形態～第３実施形態では、ノブ１４に節度面１６（凹部１６Ａ）を設けると共に、プレート１２（車体側）に節度体２０（節度ピン２２）を設けた。しかしながら、ノブ１４に節度体２０（節度ピン２２）を設けると共に、プレート１２（車体側）に節度面１６（凹部１６Ａ）を設けてもよい。 In the first to third embodiments, the moderation surface 16 (recess portion 16A) is provided on the knob 14 and the moderation body 20 (moderation pin 22) is provided on the plate 12 (vehicle body side). However, while providing the moderation body 20 (the moderation pin 22) in the knob 14, you may provide the moderation surface 16 (recessed part 16A) in the plate 12 (vehicle body side).
　さらに、上記第１実施形態～第３実施形態では、ノブ１４が回転操作される。しかしながら、ノブ１４に径方向に延出させて操作部を一体回転可能に設けることで、操作部が回動操作されて、ノブ１４が回転されてもよい。 Furthermore, in the first to third embodiments, the knob 14 is rotated. However, the operating portion may be rotated and the knob 14 may be rotated by extending the knob 14 in the radial direction so as to integrally rotate the operating portion.
　また、上記第１実施形態～第３実施形態では、シフト装置１０、５０、６０をコンソールに設置した。しかしながら、シフト装置１０、５０、６０をインストルメントパネルやコラムカバーに設置してもよい。 In the first to third embodiments, the shift devices 10, 50, 60 are installed on the console. However, the shift devices 10, 50, 60 may be installed on the instrument panel or the column cover.
