In the above lock device, when the key cylinder rotates the rotating body by a key operation from the unlocked state, the stopper is moved to the guide boss side of the operating member and is switched to the locked state in which the movement of the operating member is restricted. In such a structure, a space for laterally moving the stopper is required, which makes it difficult to reduce the size. Further, since the operating member is composed of two rotors interposed between the rod and the operating member, it is complicated and it is easy to make it compact. Further, as the key cylinder, for example, it is not easy to use because it is not possible to perceive sensibly whether the rotating body is rotated and the stopper is moved to the regulation position.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above problems and to simplify the switching structure between the locked state in which the movement of the operating member is restricted by the key cylinder and the unlocked state in which the operation is allowed, and to be excellent in space efficiency. To In addition, usability is improved by intuitively recognizing the completion of switching between the locked state and the unlocked state of the key cylinder. Other purposes will be made clear in the following description.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention is used when the opening / closing body is engaged with and disengaged from the fixed body, and the housing and the opening / closing body with respect to the opening of the fixed body slides in the retracted direction. A rod that can be switched between a locking position and a locking release position for maintaining a closed state, an operating member that can switch the rod from the locking position to the locking release position by sliding against an urging force, the rod and the operation. In a lock device including an actuating member interposed between members and a key cylinder capable of restricting the movement of the operating member at a locking position of the rod, the key cylinder is provided on a lower side (opposite to the key hole). A lock state in which a cam provided on the side) and integrally rotated is provided, and the operation member is made immovable by a stopper portion formed on the cam to restrict the movement of the operation member, and the operation member. It is characterized in that switching to the unlock state to permit movement.

Here, the "opening / closing body" and the "fixed body" are, for example, various casings in which the opening of the fixed body is opened or closed by the lids if the opening / closing body is a lid, and the opening / closing body is a patent. In the case of the glove boxes of Reference 1, the fixed main body is various panels in which the glove boxes are arranged. The above points are the same as the idea of Patent Document 1. It should be noted that the opening / closing body may be one that moves regularly with respect to the fixed body.

The present invention described above may be embodied as the following aspects (1) to (6).
(1) The cam forms a flexible claw together with the stopper portion, and when the key cylinder is rotated at the locking position of the rod, the stopper portion is provided on the operating member. The lock state is switched by engaging with the engaging portion, and at the time of the switching, the flexible claw is brought into sliding contact with the uneven portion provided on the housing to give a feeling of moderation. In addition, the said uneven | corrugated part is non-planar in principle, and it is used in a broad sense including the shape of an uneven | corrugated cross section, a wavy cross section, a sawtooth cross section, etc. concretely. Further, the moderation is a click sound generated by the flexible claw slidingly contacting the concavo-convex portion, or a feeling recognized by the click sound. According to this aspect, the cam has the flexible claw together with the stopper portion, and when the key cylinder is rotationally operated at the rod locking position, the stopper portion engages with the engaged portion of the operating member to operate. It is possible to switch to a locked state in which the movement of the member is restricted.

Therefore, it is possible to more reliably maintain a good rotation operation.

(5) The key cylinder is switched between a locked state in which the stopper portion is engaged with the engaged portion and an unlocked state in which the stopper portion is separated from the engaged portion by a predetermined angle, and the uneven portion is The flexible claws are provided at two places of the housing, and the flexible claws are brought into sliding contact with one of the concave and convex portions immediately before the key cylinder is rotated to reach the locked state, and immediately before the unlocked state is reached. This is a configuration in which the other of the concave and convex portions is brought into sliding contact with each other so as to have a moderation feeling. According to this aspect, the concavo-convex portion is provided at two places of the housing, and the flexible claw that slidably contacts one concavo-convex portion immediately before the key cylinder is rotationally operated to reach the locked state, and There is a moderation sensation even by the flexible claw that slidably contacts the other uneven portion immediately before reaching the unlocked state. Therefore, each moderation feeling improves usability and a high-class feeling is also obtained.
(6) The operating member includes a main vertical plate that forms a guide groove for controlling the movement of the rod, and a horizontal plate that is integrated with the main vertical plate and is urged in a rising direction by a spring member. In addition to the above, the engaged portion projects from the main vertical plate. According to this aspect, the operating member is simpler and more compact than the rotor structure of Patent Document 1. Further, it is possible to provide a simple structure in which the actuating member is provided with the engaged portion on the main vertical plate and the movement is restricted by the stopper portion of the cam.

Therefore, the inner peripheral wall portion of the inner step portion 17 that is in pressure contact with the projecting piece is formed as a rigid body portion.

The cam 63 includes a disc portion 64, two

stoppers

65 and 65 and a single swinging piece 67 that project around the disc portion 64 and face each other, and a convex portion 62 of the main body provided on the upper surface. The engaging recess 66 and the pair of leg pieces 68 projectingly provided on the lower surface are integrally formed. The disk portion 64 is formed to have substantially the same diameter as the outer diameter of the lower side of the main body 60. Each stopper 65 has a substantially rectangular shape having a size capable of receiving the engaged portion 38 of the link, and one stopper portion 65 is engaged with the lower surface of the engaged portion 38 as shown in FIG. 4C. When fitted together, the other stopper portion 65 abuts against the abutment surface 17d in the counterclockwise direction of the protrusion 17c provided on the inner stepped portion 17 as shown in FIG. The contact surface 17d has a small protrusion protruding toward the inner side, and the stopper portion 65 contacts the protrusion.

The swinging piece 67 is provided between the stoppers 65, is thinner than the stopper 65, and is elastically displaceable, and has a flexible claw 67a protruding toward the tip side of the lower surface. That is, the key cylinder 6 is in a locked state in which the stopper portion 65 is engaged with the engaged portion 38 as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C (in this state, one stopper portion 65 contacts the contact surface 17d, When the other stopper portion 65 comes into contact with the abutment surface 17k of the protrusion 17f to prevent rotation, the stopper portion 65 is separated from the engaged portion 38 by a predetermined angle as shown in FIGS. It is switched to the unlocked state (at this time, the stopper portion 65 contacts the contact surface 17e to prevent rotation). At that time, the flexible claw 67a slides along one of the uneven portions 18b provided on the step 18c immediately before the key cylinder 6 is rotated by a key operation to reach the locked state. Further, the flexible claw 37a slides along the other side of the uneven portion 18b immediately before reaching the unlocked state. As a result, in this structure, a click sound is generated when the flexible claw 67a is brought into sliding contact with the concave-convex portion 18b, which improves the usability due to a moderation feeling.

The cam 63 alone or in the form of the key cylinder 6 connected to the main body 60 can prevent each leg piece 68 from slipping out into the corresponding guide groove 18a provided on the cam receiving surface 18, and has a predetermined angle, that is, 90 in this example. It is fitted so that it can rotate only once. For this reason, in this structure, the cam 63 and the key cylinder 6 are stably held with respect to the housing 1, and good pivoting operation is maintained. Further, in this structure, the key cylinder arranging portion 15 is assembled with the key cylinder 6 and the cover 7. The cover 7 is a member that is attached to the key cylinder arranging portion 15 as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B and covers between the upper step portion 16 and the main body 60 invisible. In this example, a circular hole 71 into which the main body 10 is inserted is formed on the upper surface, and there are pieces 74 protruding on both sides to form engaging holes 74a. Then, in the cover 7, for example, from the state in which the key cylinder 6 is positioned on the cam receiving surface 18 together with the inside step portion 17 to the upper step portion 16 side, the engaging holes 74a are provided to the corresponding locking claws 17b. It is attached by engaging.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 75 indicates a cover similar to the cover 7. That is, the cover 75 lacks the circular hole 71 as compared with the cover 7, but is otherwise the same. Such a cover 75 is used as a locking device in a structure in which, for example, the key cylinder 6 is omitted.

(Operation) The main operation characteristics of the lock device 9 manufactured as described above will be described below.
(1), FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b), FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), and FIGS. 3 (a) to 3 (c), in the lock device 9 described above, the key cylinder 6 allows the operation of the button 2. The unlocked state shows the closed state of the open / close body in which the open / close body covers the opening of the fixed body. In this closed state, the button 2 and the link 3 are lifted by the urging force of the spring member S1 to cover the button placement portion 10 with the button 2. Of the rod 4, the rod 4A is slid in a direction projecting from the housing 1 by the urging force of the spring member S2, and the tip portion 41 is engaged with the locking hole 81 of the fixed body side mounting portion 80. The rod 4B is slid in a direction projecting from the housing 1 by the urging force of the spring member S3, and the tip portion 44 is engaged with the locking hole 81 of the fixed main body side mounting portion 80.

(2), FIG. 1 (b) shows an operation of switching the opening / closing body from the closed state in which the opening of the fixed body is closed to the open state in which the opening is opened. That is, in this case, the operator presses the button 2 with the finger F, for example, against the biasing force of the spring member S1. Then, in this structure, the link 3 is pushed down in the direction of the inner bottom surface of the housing 1 together with the button 2, and in conjunction with this, the

rods

4A and 4B are actuated by the

guide grooves

35 and 36 of the link 3 and the

shafts

47 and 48 to act as springs. The members S2, S3 move in the retracting direction in the housing 1 against the biasing force, and the

tip portions

41, 44 are disengaged from the corresponding locking holes 81. Therefore, the operator can rotate the opening / closing body in the fully opening direction from the state of FIG.

(3) By the way, in this structure, when the pressure on the button 2 is released, the link 3 and the button 2 are raised to the original state by the urging force of the spring member S1. Then, in this ascending process, the moving speed of the button 2 is braked by the damper 8 (meshing of the rack 26 of the link and the gear 8b) and moves slowly, so that operability is excellent and a high-grade feeling is obtained. Of course, the braking by the damper 8 also works when the link 3 and the button 2 are pressed against the biasing force of the spring member S1.

(4) When the opening / closing body is changed from the open state to the closed state again, normally, even when the

rods

4A and 4B project from the inside of the housing 1, the

rod tip portions

41 and 44 have the attachment portions 80 of the fixed main body. Or, due to the stress received when sliding while hitting the mounting portion of the opening / closing body, the

rods

4A, 4B move in the housing 1 against the urging force of the spring members S2, S3 in the retracting direction and the corresponding locking holes 81 are formed. It can be engaged again.

(5), FIGS. 4 (a) to 4 (c) show the lock device 9 in which the key cylinder 6 is rotated by 90 degrees by a key operation to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state and the pressing operation of the button 2 is restricted. Shows. With this structure, in the unlocked state of the key cylinder 6 shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, the key cylinder 6 is prevented from rotating with one of the two stoppers 65 in contact with the contact surface 17e. Moreover, the flexible claw 67a is fitted to the uneven portion 18b of the two uneven portions 18b on the side closer to the protrusion 17j.

In this structure, the flexible claw 67a slides along the uneven portion 18b on the side closer to the protrusion 17f immediately before the key cylinder 6 is rotated in the clockwise direction by the key operation to reach the locked state. Along with the sound, one stopper portion, that is, the stopper portion 65 on the side closer to the swing piece 67 hits the contact surface 17d to prevent rotation. At the same time, the stopper portion 65 on the side largely separated from the swing piece 67 of FIG. 4C engages with the lower surface of the engaged portion 38. As a result, the engaged portion 38 of the link 3 and the button 2 is restricted by the stopper portion 65, and thus the link 3 and the button 2 are lowered, that is, cannot be moved. When the flexible claw 37a is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state, the flexible claw 37a slides along the uneven portion 18b on the side closer to the protrusion 17j immediately before reaching the unlocked state. The usability can be improved.

(Modification) FIG. 10A is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 1A, and FIGS. 11A and 11B are diagrams in which the unlocked state of FIGS. 10A and 10B is switched to the locked state. 12 (a) and (b) are diagrams corresponding to FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), and FIG. 13 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 8 (a). This modified example is an example suitable for rotating the key cylinder 6 by a key operation to bring it into a locked state or to switch to an unlocked state when the key cylinder 6 is rotated in the opposite direction of the key operation. In this description, the same members and parts as those in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, duplicate description is omitted, and only the changed points will be described in detail.

First, in the housing 1, the shape of the key cylinder arranging portion 15 is changed as follows. As can be seen from the comparison between FIGS. 6 (a) and (b) and FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b), the key cylinder arranging portion 15 of the modified example is a state in which the form is reversed horizontally. That is, the disposing portion 15 is provided on the upper step portion 16, the substantially cylindrical inner step portion 17 in which the central portion of the upper step portion 16 is deeply recessed, and the left and right sides of the inner step portion 17 so as to cover each part of the cover. It has a hole 17a for receiving the stop piece 74, a locking claw 17b projectingly provided in the hole 17a, and

stopper projections

17c, 17j projectingly provided on the inner peripheral surface of the inner step portion 17, and also has a projection part. The stopper contact surfaces 17d and 17e, which are both end surfaces in the circumferential direction of 17c, the stopper contact surface 17k, which is the counterclockwise end surface in the circumferential direction of the protrusion 17j, and the protrusion 17c are provided with a space therebetween. Similarly to the protrusion 17c, the protrusions 17f and 17g for receiving the main body 60 of the key cylinder on the upper surface, the cam receiving surface 18 in which the bottom center portion of the inner step portion 17 is shallowly recessed, and the cam receiving surface 18 penetrating in an arc shape. For a pair of formed cams The contact hole 18a and the sliding contact surface 18c in an arc shape formed on the bottom surface of the inner step portion 17 along the outer periphery of the cam receiving surface 18 to be slightly shallow, and two concavities and convexities at both ends of the sliding contact surface 18c. And a portion 18b.

The key cylinder 6 of the modified example has the same main body 60 as the form example, and the shape of the cam 65 is reversed left and right. That is, in the cam 63 of FIGS. 9A to 9C, the stopper portion 65 of the two stopper portions 65, which is closer to the elastic piece 67, is positioned clockwise. On the other hand, in the cam 63 of FIG. 13, of the two stopper portions 65, the stopper portion 65 closer to the elastic piece 67 is located in the counterclockwise direction.

Due to the above changes, in this modified example, for example, the key cylinder 6 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction by the key operation from the unlocked state of FIGS. Immediately before reaching the locked state, the flexible claw 67a slides along the concave-convex portion 18b on the side closer to the protrusion 17f, which causes a click sound, and one stopper portion, that is, the stopper portion on the side closer to the swing piece 67. 65 abuts against the contact surface 17d to prevent rotation. At the same time, the stopper portion 65 on the side largely separated from the swing piece 67 of FIG. 10B engages with the lower surface of the engaged portion 38. As a result, the engaged portion 38 of the link 3 and the button 2 is restricted by the stopper portion 65 so that the link 3 and the button 2 cannot descend or move.

The locking device of the present invention only needs to have the configuration specified in claim 1, and the details can be changed or expanded with reference to the above description. For example, the cam may be formed integrally with the key cylinder, or a damper may be omitted to simplify the cam.
