The rotating mechanism 28 is provided with a rotor cam 30 having an L-shaped cross section as a moving member, and the rotor cam 30 extends along the rotating circumferential direction of the lever 16. The rotor cam 30 can be rotated (moved) in the rotation circumferential direction of the lever 16, and the rotor cam 30 is disposed at the reference position. The rear end surface as the operating portion of the rotor cam 30 is disposed on the front side of the rotation protrusion 16B of the lever 16, and can rotate even if the lever 16 is rotated between the "P" position and the "D" position. The protrusion 16B cannot be brought into contact with the rear end surface of the rotor cam 30.

The upper surface of the upper side wall of the rotor cam 30 is formed as an arrangement surface 30A at the rear, and the arrangement surface 30A extends along the rotation circumferential direction of the lever 16 and is below the displacement protrusion 18A of the moderation piece 18.

A drive mechanism 32 is mechanically connected to the rotor cam 30, and the drive mechanism 32 is electrically connected to the control device 24, and the drive mechanism 32 is driven under the control of the control device 24 to drive the rotor cam 30. The rotor cam 30 is rotated by the driving force of the mechanism 32.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

In the shift device 10 configured as described above, when the lever 16 is disposed at each shift position, the moderation pin 14 is inserted into the recess 18B on the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 by the urging force of the displacement spring 20, and the lever 16 is shifted to each position. Held in position. When the lever 16 is pivoted back and forth to change the shift position of the lever 16, the convex portion 18 C on the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 gets over the moderation pin 14 against the urging force of the displacement spring 20. Thus, a sense of moderation is applied to the turning operation of the lever 16.

By the way, at a predetermined opportunity (for example, when the engine of the vehicle is stopped) when the lever 16 is arranged at a shift position (for example, “D” position) other than the “P” position, The shift range of the automatic transmission 26 is automatically changed to the “P” range.

Here, at a predetermined opportunity when the lever 16 is disposed at a shift position (for example, “D” position) other than the “P” position, the drive mechanism 32 is controlled by the control device 24 in the rotation mechanism 28. The rotor cam 30 is rotated rearward by being driven forward. Therefore, the inclined surface 30B of the rotor cam 30 abuts on the displacement protrusion 18A of the moderation piece 18 and displaces the displacement protrusion 18A upward, so that the moderation piece 18 resists the biasing force of the displacement spring 20 and moves upward. By being displaced, the engagement of the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 with the moderation pin 14 is released. Then, the release surface 30C of the rotor cam 30 maintains the upward displacement of the displacement protrusion 18A, and the upward displacement of the moderation piece 18 is maintained, whereby the engagement of the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 to the moderation pin 14 is released. Is maintained, so that the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 cannot be brought into contact with the moderation pin 14.

Further, the rear end surface of the rotor cam 30 is brought into contact with the rotation protrusion 16B of the lever 16, and the rotation protrusion 16B is rotated rearward, whereby the lever 16 is moved from the shift position other than the “P” position to “P”. To the "" position. For this reason, the shift position of the lever 16 matches the shift range of the automatic transmission 26.

Further, when the lever 16 is rotated to the “P” position, the drive mechanism 32 is reversely driven by the control of the control device 24, and the rotor cam 30 is rotated forward. Therefore, the inclined surface 30B of the rotor cam 30 reaches the displacement projection 18A of the moderation piece 18 and allows the displacement projection 18A to be displaced downward, so that the moderation piece 18 is lowered by the biasing force of the displacement spring 20. The lower surface (recessed portion 18 B) of the moderation piece 18 is engaged with the moderation pin 14. Further, the rotor cam 30 is rotated (returned) to the reference position.

As described above, when the lever 16 is rotated from the shift position other than the “P” position to the “P” position by the rotation mechanism 28, the engagement with the moderation pin 14 on the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 is released. The lower surface of the moderation piece 18 cannot be brought into contact with the moderation pin 14. For this reason, it can restrict | limit that the lower surface (recessed part 18B and convex part 18C) of the moderation piece 18 engages the moderation pin 14, and the rotation speed of the lever 16 can be fluctuate | varied, and the rotation speed of the lever 16 can be stabilized. The lever 16 can be smoothly rotated. Furthermore, the generation of sound due to the engagement of the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 (the concave portion 18B and the convex portion 18C) with the moderation pin 14 can be restricted, and the operating noise when the lever 16 is rotated can be reduced.

Further, in the rotation mechanism 28, the rotor cam 30 displaces the moderation piece 18 and the engagement of the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 with the moderation pin 14 is released. For this reason, unlike the case where the rotor cam 30 displaces the moderation pin 14, the displacement of the moderation piece 18 causes rattling with respect to the guide hole of the lever 16 by displacing the moderation piece 18 which is enlarged with respect to the moderation pin 14. Therefore, the engagement between the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 and the moderation pin 14 can be easily released.

Furthermore, a moderation piece 18 is provided in the guide hole of the lever 16 so as to be displaceable. For this reason, the displacement space of the moderation piece 18 can be provided in the lever 16, the displacement space of the moderation piece 18 outside the lever 16 can be reduced, and the shift device 10 can be miniaturized.

Further, a moderation pin 14 is provided in the plate 12 so as not to be displaced. For this reason, the moderation pin 14 can be easily provided in the plate 12.

Furthermore, the moderation pin 14 is made rotatable. For this reason, when the lever 16 is rotated, the resistance that the convex portion 18C on the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 gets over the moderation pin 14 can be reduced, and the feeling of the rotation operation of the lever 16 can be improved.

In this embodiment, a separate moderation pin 14 is provided in the plate 12. However, the moderation pin 14 may be integrally formed in the plate 12. Thereby, the number of parts can be reduced and the cost of the shift device 10 can be reduced.

Retained. When the lever 16 is rotated in the front-rear direction and the shift position of the lever 16 is changed, the rotating rod 52 is rotated downward against the urging force of the torsion spring 54, and the moderation piece When the convex portion 18 C on the lower surface of the 18 moves over the moderation pin 14 of the rotation rod 52, a moderation feeling is applied to the rotation operation of the lever 16.

At a predetermined opportunity when the lever 16 is disposed at a shift position other than the “P” position, the moderation piece 18 is biased by the displacement spring 20 by the rotor cam 30 of the rotation mechanism 28 as in the first embodiment. It is displaced upward against Further, the upward rotation of the rotating rod 52 by the urging force of the torsion spring 54 is restricted in the plate 12. For this reason, the moderation pin 14 is disengaged from the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 so that the lower surface of the moderation piece 18 cannot be brought into contact with the moderation pin 14.

Here, also in this embodiment, the same operations and effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained except for the operations and effects due to the moderation pins 14 being provided in the plate 12 so as not to be displaced.

The front surface and the rear surface of the lower portion of the lever 16 are arranged along the rotational radial direction of the lever 16, and the front surface of the lower portion of the lever 16 is a rotating surface 16C as a moving portion. A substantially curved rectangular columnar guide hole 16D as a guide portion is formed in the lower portion of the lever 16, and the guide hole 16D is curved along the rotation circumferential direction of the lever 16 and is also provided in the left-right direction (lever 16 (rotating shaft direction) and open to the left.

A substantially curved rectangular columnar moderation piece 18 is fitted in the guide hole 16D, and the moderation piece 18 is curved along the rotational circumferential direction of the lever 16 and is guided by the guide hole 16D to a predetermined range. It is possible to displace (slide) in the left-right direction. A substantially rectangular parallelepiped displacement projection 18A is integrally provided on the rear side of the upper portion of the left surface of the moderation piece 18, and the displacement projection 18A protrudes to the left side, and to the left side as the front surface moves toward the rear side. It is inclined in the direction of heading. A plurality of recesses 18B are formed in the lower part of the left surface of the moderation piece 18, and the recesses 18B are open on the left side. A convex portion 18C is formed between the concave portions 18B, and the convex portion 18C protrudes to the left side.

A predetermined number of displacement springs 20 (not shown in FIGS. 5 to 7) are provided in the lower part of the lever 16 on the right side of the moderation piece 18. The side portion is urged to the left and protrudes to the left of the lever 16.

The lower part of the left surface of the moderation piece 18 is engaged with the moderation pin 14 in the plate 12 in the left-right direction (moving width direction of the lever 16) by the urging force of the displacement spring 20, and the lever 16 is disposed at each shift position. In doing so, the moderation pin 14 is inserted into the recess 18B in the lower left portion of the moderation piece 18 by the urging force of the displacement spring 20, and the lever 16 is acted upon by the rotational force toward each shift position. When the lever 16 is rotated in the front-rear direction to change the shift position of the lever 16, the convex portion 18 C of the lower portion of the left side of the moderation piece 18 resists the urging force of the displacement spring 20.

The operating protrusion 30D is disposed on the front side of the rotating surface 16C of the lever 16, and even if the lever 16 is rotated between the “P” position and the “D” position, the rotating surface 16C is operated by the operating protrusion 30D. (See FIG. 6).

The rear end surface of the rotor cam 30 is an inclined surface 30B, and the inclined surface 30B is inclined in a direction toward the right side toward the front side. The inclined surface 30B is disposed on the front side of the displacement protrusion 18A of the moderation piece 18, and even if the lever 16 is rotated between the “P” position and the “D” position, the displacement protrusion 18A is formed on the inclined surface 30B. The contact is impossible (see FIG. 6). Further, the right surface of the rotor cam 30 is a release surface 30C on the front side of the inclined surface 30B (the rear side of the operating projection 30D).

By the way, if the rotor cam 30 is rotated rearward at a predetermined opportunity (see FIG. 6) when the lever 16 is disposed at a shift position (for example, “D” position) other than the “P” position, The inclined surface 30B comes into contact with the front surface of the displacement projection 18A of the moderation piece 18 and displaces the displacement projection 18A to the right side, so that the moderation piece 18 is displaced to the right side against the urging force of the displacement spring 20 and moderation is performed.
