　ノブ２８が「Ｂ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力により上側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して一方向側位置に配置される（図５Ａ参照）。このため、リンク２２のセレクトマグネット２４が上側位置に配置されることをセレクトセンサ３４が検出すると共に、ホルダ１４のシフトマグネット１６が一方向側位置に配置されることをシフトセンサ３２が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｂ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図５Ｂ及び図５Ｃ参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the "B" position, the link 22 is disposed at the upper position by the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 resist against the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is arranged at the direction side position (see FIG. 5A). Therefore, the select sensor 34 detects that the select magnet 24 of the link 22 is disposed at the upper position, and the shift sensor 32 detects that the shift magnet 16 of the holder 14 is disposed at the one-way side position. , The knob 28 is located at the "B" position (see FIGS. 5B and 5C).
　ノブ２８が「Ｎ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力により回転範囲中央位置に配置される（図６Ａ参照）。このため、リンク２２のセレクトマグネット２４が下側位置に配置されることをセレクトセンサ３４が検出すると共に、ホルダ１４のシフトマグネット１６が回転範囲中央位置に配置されることをシフトセンサ３２が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｎ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図６Ｂ及び図６Ｃ参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the "N" position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased by the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is disposed at the center position of the rotation range (see FIG. 6A). Therefore, the select sensor 34 detects that the select magnet 24 of the link 22 is disposed at the lower position, and the shift sensor 32 detects that the shift magnet 16 of the holder 14 is disposed at the central position of the rotation range. It is detected that the knob 28 is placed in the "N" position (see FIGS. 6B and 6C).
　ノブ２８が「Ｄ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して一方向側位置に配置される（図７Ａ参照）。このため、リンク２２のセレクトマグネット２４が下側位置に配置されることをセレクトセンサ３４が検出すると共に、ホルダ１４のシフトマグネット１６が一方向側位置に配置されることをシフトセンサ３２が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｄ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図７Ｂ及び図７Ｃ参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the “D” position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased to the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is disposed at one side position against the other (see FIG. 7A). Therefore, the select sensor 34 detects that the select magnet 24 of the link 22 is disposed at the lower position, and the shift sensor 32 detects that the shift magnet 16 of the holder 14 is disposed at the one-direction side position. It is detected that the knob 28 is placed at the "D" position (see FIGS. 7B and 7C).
　ノブ２８が「Ｒ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して他方向側位置に配置される（図８Ａ参照）。このため、リンク２２のセレクトマグネット２４が下側位置に配置されることをセレクトセンサ３４が検出すると共に、ホルダ１４のシフトマグネット１６が他方向側位置に配置されることをシフトセンサ３２が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｒ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図８Ｂ及び図８Ｃ参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the “R” position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased to the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is arranged in the other direction side position (see FIG. 8A). Therefore, the select sensor 34 detects that the select magnet 24 of the link 22 is disposed at the lower position, and the shift sensor 32 detects that the shift magnet 16 of the holder 14 is disposed at the other direction side position. It is detected that the knob 28 is placed in the "R" position (see FIGS. 8B and 8C).
　ここで、ノブ２８が周方向に回転されてリンク２２及びホルダ１４が回転されると共に、ノブ２８が上下方向に移動されてリンク２２が上下方向に移動される。このため、シフトスプリング２０がホルダ１４を付勢すると共に、セレクトスプリング２６がリンク２２を付勢することで、ホルダ１４及びリンク２２を介してノブ２８を周方向に付勢できると共に、リンク２２を介してノブ２８を上下方向に付勢できる。これにより、ノブ２８を周方向に回転させる付勢力とノブ２８を上下方向に移動させる付勢力とを容易に設定できる。 Here, the knob 28 is rotated in the circumferential direction to rotate the link 22 and the holder 14, and the knob 28 is moved in the vertical direction to move the link 22 in the vertical direction. Therefore, the shift spring 20 biases the holder 14 and the select spring 26 biases the link 22 so that the knob 28 can be biased in the circumferential direction via the holder 14 and the link 22, and the link 22 is biased. Thus, the knob 28 can be biased in the vertical direction. Thus, it is possible to easily set the urging force for rotating the knob 28 in the circumferential direction and the urging force for moving the knob 28 in the vertical direction.
　また、シフトセンサ３２がホルダ１４のシフトマグネット１６の位置を検出してノブ２８の周方向位置が検出されると共に、セレクトセンサ３４がリンク２２のセレクトマグネット２４の位置を検出してノブ２８の上下方向位置が検出されることで、ノブ２８の周方向及び上下方向における位置（特にシフト位置）が検出される。このため、ノブ２８の周方向位置とノブ２８の上下方向位置とを別々に検出することで、ノブ２８の周方向及び上下方向における位置（特にシフト位置）の検出精度を高くできる。 The shift sensor 32 detects the position of the shift magnet 16 of the holder 14 to detect the circumferential position of the knob 28, and the select sensor 34 detects the position of the select magnet 24 of the link 22 to move the knob 28 up and down. By detecting the directional position, the circumferential position and the vertical position (in particular, the shift position) of the knob 28 are detected. Therefore, by detecting the circumferential position of the knob 28 and the vertical position of the knob 28 separately, it is possible to increase the detection accuracy of the position (especially the shift position) in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction of the knob 28.
　さらに、ノブ２８の周方向への回転量及び上下方向への移動量の少なくとも一方を増幅させるリンク機構の作動位置を検出してノブ２８の位置を検出しなくても、ノブ２８の周方向及び上下方向における位置（特にシフト位置）の検出精度を高くできる。このため、リンク機構を不要にでき、部品数を低減できて、金型費及び部品費を低減できる。さらに、リンク機構の配置スペース及び作動スペースを不要にでき、シフト装置１０を小型化できる。しかも、ノブ２８の動作抵抗がリンク機構によって増加されることを防止でき、ノブ２８の操作フィーリングを良好にできると共に、ノブ２８がシフトスプリング２０及びセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力により「Ｈ」位置に良好に復帰できる。 Furthermore, the circumferential direction of the knob 28 can be detected without detecting the position of the knob 28 by detecting the operating position of the link mechanism that amplifies at least one of the amount of rotation of the knob 28 in the circumferential direction and the amount of movement in the vertical direction. The detection accuracy of the position in the vertical direction (in particular, the shift position) can be increased. Therefore, the link mechanism can be eliminated, the number of parts can be reduced, and the mold cost and the parts cost can be reduced. Furthermore, the arrangement space and the operation space of the link mechanism can be eliminated, and the shift device 10 can be miniaturized. Moreover, the operating resistance of the knob 28 can be prevented from being increased by the link mechanism, and the operation feeling of the knob 28 can be made favorable, and the knob 28 is in the "H" position by the biasing force of the shift spring 20 and the select spring 26. You can recover well.
　なお、本実施形態では、セレクトセンサ３４を１個設けた。しかしながら、セレクトセンサ３４を冗長性確保のため複数設けてもよい。この場合、複数のセレクトセンサ３４をセンサ基板３０の上面又は下面に配置してもよく、複数のセレクトセンサ３４をセンサ基板３０の上面と下面とに分けて配置してもよい。 In the present embodiment, one select sensor 34 is provided. However, a plurality of select sensors 34 may be provided to ensure redundancy. In this case, the plurality of select sensors 34 may be disposed on the upper surface or the lower surface of the sensor substrate 30, or the plurality of select sensors 34 may be separately disposed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the sensor substrate 30.

However, the shift sensor 32 may be configured by five or more or three or less Hall ICs. Further, if the shift sensor 32 is configured by at least two or more Hall ICs, it can be detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “H” position, the “D” position and the “R” position.
　［第２実施形態］
　図９（１）には、本発明の第２実施形態に係るシフト装置４０の主要部が平面図及び側面図にて示されている。 Second Embodiment
In FIG. 9A, the main part of the shift device 40 according to the second embodiment of the present invention is shown in a plan view and a side view.
　本実施形態に係るシフト装置４０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 40 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４０では、ホルダ１４にシフトマグネット１６が設けられていないと共に、リンク２２にセレクトマグネット２４が設けられていない。 In the shift device 40 according to the present embodiment, the shift magnet 16 is not provided on the holder 14, and the select magnet 24 is not provided on the link 22.
　図９（１）に示す如く、リンク２２の周壁には、移動部としての略矩形柱状のマグネット４２が固定されており、マグネット４２は、リンク２２の周方向に沿って湾曲されている。 As shown in FIG. 9 (1), a substantially rectangular columnar magnet 42 as a moving portion is fixed to the peripheral wall of the link 22, and the magnet 42 is curved along the circumferential direction of the link 22.
　センサ基板３０は、プレート１２内に同軸上に固定されており、センサ基板３０は、ホルダ１４内に同軸上に配置されている。センサ基板３０の上面中央には、変化部としてのセンサ４４が設置されており、センサ４４は、例えば３ＤホールＩＣにより構成されている。センサ基板３０の周囲には、リンク２２のマグネット４２が配置されており、センサ４４は、マグネット４２が発生する磁場を検出して、マグネット４２の回転位置及び上下方向位置を検出する。 The sensor substrate 30 is coaxially fixed in the plate 12, and the sensor substrate 30 is coaxially disposed in the holder 14. A sensor 44 as a change unit is installed at the center of the upper surface of the sensor substrate 30, and the sensor 44 is configured of, for example, a 3D Hall IC. The magnet 42 of the link 22 is disposed around the sensor substrate 30, and the sensor 44 detects the magnetic field generated by the magnet 42 to detect the rotational position and the vertical position of the magnet 42.
　ところで、ノブ２８が「Ｈ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力により上側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力により回転範囲中央位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２のマグネット４２が上側位置かつ回転範囲中央位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｈ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図９（１）参照）。 By the way, when the knob 28 is disposed at the “H” position, the link 22 is disposed at the upper position by the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are rotated by the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is placed at the center position. Therefore, the sensor 44 detects that the magnet 42 of the link 22 is disposed at the upper position and the center position of the rotation range, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “H” position (FIG. )reference).
　ノブ２８が「Ｂ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力により上側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して一方向側位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２のマグネット４２が上側位置かつ一方向側位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｂ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図９（２）参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the "B" position, the link 22 is disposed at the upper position by the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 resist against the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is arranged at the direction side position. For this reason, the sensor 44 detects that the magnet 42 of the link 22 is disposed at the upper position and one side position, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “B” position (FIG. )reference).
　ノブ２８が「Ｎ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力により回転範囲中央位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２のマグネット４２が下側位置かつ回転範囲中央位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｎ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図９（３）参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the "N" position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased by the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is arranged at the center position of the rotation range. Therefore, the sensor 44 detects that the magnet 42 of the link 22 is disposed at the lower position and the central position of the rotation range, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “N” position (FIG. See 3).
　ノブ２８が「Ｄ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して一方向側位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２のマグネット４２が下側位置かつ一方向側位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｄ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図９（４）参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the “D” position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased to the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is arranged in the one side position against. For this reason, the sensor 44 detects that the magnet 42 of the link 22 is disposed at the lower position and the one side position, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “D” position (FIG. See 4).
　ノブ２８が「Ｒ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して他方向側位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２のマグネット４２が下側位置かつ他方向側位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｒ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図９（５）参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the “R” position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased to the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is placed at the other direction side position. Therefore, the sensor 44 detects that the magnet 42 of the link 22 is disposed at the lower position and the other direction side position, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “R” position (FIG. See 5).
　ここで、本実施形態でも、上記第１実施形態と同様の作用及び効果を奏することができる。 Here, also in the present embodiment, the same operation and effect as the first embodiment can be exhibited.
　特に、リンク２２が上側位置に配置される際には、マグネット４２がセンサ４４より上側に配置されると共に、リンク２２が下側位置に配置される際には、マグネット４２がセンサ４４より下側に配置される。このため、リンク２２が上側位置に配置される際とリンク２２が下側位置に配置される際とでマグネット４２のセンサ４４に対する位置を大きく変化させることができ、リンク２２が上側位置に配置される際にセンサ４４が検出するマグネット４２による磁場と、リンク２２が下側位置に配置される際にセンサ４４が検出するマグネット４２による磁場と、を大きく変化させることができる。これにより、センサ４４がマグネット４２の回転位置及び上下方向位置を検出する精度を高くでき、ノブ２８の周方向及び上下方向における位置（特にシフト位置）の検出精度を高くできる。 In particular, when the link 22 is disposed at the upper position, the magnet 42 is disposed above the sensor 44, and when the link 22 is disposed at the lower position, the magnet 42 is disposed below the sensor 44. Will be placed. Therefore, the position of the magnet 42 with respect to the sensor 44 can be largely changed between when the link 22 is disposed at the upper position and when the link 22 is disposed at the lower position, and the link 22 is disposed at the upper position. When the link 22 is disposed at the lower position, the magnetic field by the magnet 42 detected by the sensor 44 can be largely changed. As a result, the accuracy with which the sensor 44 detects the rotational position and the vertical position of the magnet 42 can be enhanced, and the detection accuracy of the position (especially the shift position) in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction of the knob 28 can be enhanced.
　また、マグネット４２が１個のみ設けられている。このため、部品費を低減できる。しかも、マグネット４２の配置スペース及び作動スペースを小さくでき、シフト装置４０を小型化できる。 Also, only one magnet 42 is provided. For this reason, parts cost can be reduced. Moreover, the arrangement space and operation space of the magnet 42 can be reduced, and the shift device 40 can be miniaturized.
　［第３実施形態］
　図１０（１）には、本発明の第３実施形態に係るシフト装置５０の主要部が平面図及び側面図にて示されている。 Third Embodiment
FIG. 10 (1) shows a main part of a shift device 50 according to a third embodiment of the present invention in a plan view and a side view.
　本実施形態に係るシフト装置５０は、上記第２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 relating to the present embodiment is substantially the same configuration as the second embodiment described above, but differs in the following points.
　図１０（１）に示す如く、本実施形態に係るシフト装置５０では、リンク２２の周壁にマグネット４２が２個固定されており、２個のマグネット４２は、リンク２２の径方向において互いに対向されている。一方のマグネット４２のリンク２２中心軸側の面は、Ｎ極にされており、他方のマグネット４２のリンク２２中心軸側の面は、Ｓ極にされている。センサ基板３０の周囲には、２個のマグネット４２に配置されており、センサ基板３０のセンサ４４は、２個のマグネット４２が発生する磁場を検出して、２個のマグネット４２の回転位置及び上下方向位置を検出する。 As shown in FIG. 10 (1), in the shift device 50 according to the present embodiment, two magnets 42 are fixed to the peripheral wall of the link 22, and the two magnets 42 are opposed to each other in the radial direction of the link 22. ing. The surface on the side of the central axis of the link 22 of one magnet 42 is an N pole, and the surface on the side of the central axis of the link 22 of the other magnet 42 is an S pole. The two magnets 42 are arranged around the sensor substrate 30, and the sensor 44 of the sensor substrate 30 detects the magnetic field generated by the two magnets 42, and detects the rotational position of the two magnets 42 and Detect the vertical position.
　ところで、ノブ２８が「Ｈ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力により上側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力により回転範囲中央位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２の２個のマグネット４２が上側位置かつ回転範囲中央位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｈ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図１０（１）参照）。 By the way, when the knob 28 is disposed at the “H” position, the link 22 is disposed at the upper position by the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are rotated by the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is placed at the center position. Therefore, the sensor 44 detects that the two magnets 42 of the link 22 are disposed at the upper position and the central position of the rotation range, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “H” position (see FIG. 10 (1)).
　ノブ２８が「Ｂ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力により上側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して一方向側位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２の２個のマグネット４２が上側位置かつ一方向側位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｂ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図１０（２）参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the "B" position, the link 22 is disposed at the upper position by the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 resist against the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is arranged at the direction side position. Therefore, the sensor 44 detects that the two magnets 42 of the link 22 are disposed at the upper position and the one-direction side position, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the "B" position (see FIG. 10 (2)).
　ノブ２８が「Ｎ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力により回転範囲中央位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２の２個のマグネット４２が下側位置かつ回転範囲中央位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｎ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図１０（３）参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the "N" position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased by the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is arranged at the center position of the rotation range. For this reason, the sensor 44 detects that the two magnets 42 of the link 22 are disposed at the lower position and the rotation range central position, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “N” position ( See FIG. 10 (3)).
　ノブ２８が「Ｄ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して一方向側位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２の２個のマグネット４２が下側位置かつ一方向側位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｄ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図１０（４）参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the “D” position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased to the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is arranged in the one side position against. For this reason, the sensor 44 detects that the two magnets 42 of the link 22 are disposed at the lower position and the one direction side position, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “D” position ( See FIG. 10 (4)).
　ノブ２８が「Ｒ」位置に配置される際には、リンク２２がセレクトスプリング２６の付勢力に抗して下側位置に配置されると共に、リンク２２及びホルダ１４がシフトスプリング２０の付勢力に抗して他方向側位置に配置される。このため、リンク２２の２個のマグネット４２が下側位置かつ他方向側位置に配置されることをセンサ４４が検出して、ノブ２８が「Ｒ」位置に配置されることが検出される（図１０（５）参照）。 When the knob 28 is disposed at the “R” position, the link 22 is disposed at the lower position against the biasing force of the select spring 26, and the link 22 and the holder 14 are biased to the biasing force of the shift spring 20. It is placed at the other direction side position. Therefore, the sensor 44 detects that the two magnets 42 of the link 22 are disposed at the lower position and the other direction side position, and it is detected that the knob 28 is disposed at the “R” position ( See FIG. 10 (5)).
　ここで、本実施形態でも、マグネット４２が１個設けられることによる作用及び効果を除き、上記第２実施形態と同様の作用及び効果を奏することができる。 Here, also in the present embodiment, the same operations and effects as those of the second embodiment can be obtained except for the operations and effects obtained by providing one magnet 42.
　さらに、マグネット４２が２個設けられている。このため、２個のマグネット４２が発生する磁場を安定させることができ、センサ４４が検出する２個のマグネット４２による磁場を安定させることができる。これにより、センサ４４が２個のマグネット４２の回転位置及び上下方向位置を検出する精度を一層高くでき、ノブ２８の周方向及び上下方向における位置（特にシフト位置）の検出精度を一層高くできる。しかも、部品の製造バラツキによるガタツキに対してロバストな設計を可能にできる。 Furthermore, two magnets 42 are provided. For this reason, the magnetic field which two magnets 42 generate can be stabilized, and the magnetic field by two magnets 42 which sensor 44 detects can be stabilized. As a result, the accuracy with which the sensor 44 detects the rotational position and the vertical position of the two magnets 42 can be further enhanced, and the detection accuracy of the position (particularly the shift position) in the circumferential direction and the vertical direction of the knob 28 can be further enhanced.
