Examples of embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each drawing used in the following description, the scale is appropriately changed to make each member recognizable.

FIG. 1 illustrates an input device 10 according to the first embodiment. The input device 10 is mounted on the steering device 20 . The steering device 20 is a device mounted on a vehicle 30 illustrated in FIG. 2 to change the direction of travel of the vehicle 30 . The steering device 20 is an example of an operation control device. Vehicle 30 is an example of a mobile object. The action of changing the traveling direction of the vehicle 30 is an example of the first controlled action.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, the steering device 20 includes a left grip portion 21 and a right grip portion 22. As shown in FIGS. The left gripping part 21 and the right gripping part 22 are movable along a movement path M, as exemplified by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1 . A movement path M viewed from a direction along the first axis A1 has a circular shape centered on the first axis A1.

The left grip part 21 has a shape that can be gripped by the driver's left hand 41 and that allows movement of the left hand 41 across the movement path M. The right grip part 22 has a shape that can be gripped by the driver's right hand 42 and allows movement of the right hand 42 across the movement path M. As shown in FIG. In this example, each of the left grip portion 21 and the right grip portion 22 has a spherical shape. That is, the steering device 20 has a non-annular grip portion. A driver is an example of a user.

The steering device 20 has a shaft portion 23 , a left arm portion 24 and a right arm portion 25 . The left arm portion 24 connects the left grip portion 21 and the shaft portion 23 . The right arm portion 25 connects the right grip portion 22 and the shaft portion 23 . The shaft portion 23 is rotatable about the first axis A1 according to the movement of the left grip portion 21 and the right grip portion 22 along the movement path M. As shown in FIG. The counterclockwise rotation of the shaft portion 23 about the first axis A1 is associated with the operation of changing the course of the vehicle 30 to the left. The clockwise rotation of the shaft portion 23 about the first axis A1 is associated with the operation of changing the course of the vehicle 30 to the right.

The input device 10 has a first input reception section 11 . The first input receiving section 11 is arranged on the right arm section 25 of the steering device 20 . That is, the first input receiving portion 11 is arranged between the right grip portion 22 and the shaft portion 23 when viewed from the direction along the first axis A1. The first input reception unit 11 is configured as a switch that receives a driver's operation input for turning on a lamp mounted on the vehicle 30 to notify the surroundings of the vehicle 30 of a change in the course of the vehicle 30 . The switch may be a mechanical switch that is pressed by the driver's finger, or an electrostatic switch that detects the contact or approach of the driver's finger as an operation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the first input reception unit 11 receives an operation input by the driver's right hand 42, the route change notification lamp lights up. Turning on the course change notification lamp is an example of the second controlled action.

The input device 10 has a second input reception section 12 . The second input reception section 12 is also arranged on the right arm section 25 of the steering device 20 . That is, the second input receiving portion 12 is also arranged between the right grip portion 22 and the shaft portion 23 when viewed from the direction along the first axis A1. The second input receiving unit 12 is configured as a switch for receiving a driver's operation input for switching the operation mode of the headlamps mounted on the vehicle 30 . The switch may be a mechanical switch that is pressed by the driver's finger, or an electrostatic switch that detects the contact or approach of the driver's finger as an operation.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, each time the second input reception unit 12 receives an operation input by the driver's right hand 42, the operation mode is switched in the order of high beam lighting mode and low beam lighting mode. Switching the operating mode of the headlamp is an example of a third controlled action.

When the vehicle 30 is running, it is assumed that the turn-on of the route change notification lamp is used more frequently than the switching of the operation mode of the headlamps. When the priority is set based on the frequency of use while the vehicle 30 is running, the priority of turning on the route change notification lamp is set higher than the priority of switching the operation mode of the headlamp. That is, the first input reception unit 11 for executing lighting of the route change notification lamp with high priority is more than the second input reception unit 12 for executing switching of the operation mode of the headlamp with low priority. It is arranged at a position close to the right grip part 22 .

When the right hand grip 22 has a shape that allows the driver's right hand 42 to move across the movement path M, the movement of the right hand grip 22 along the movement path M is more difficult than with a ring-shaped grip. The places where the driver can change the grip are limited. According to the configuration as described above, the driver can operate the first input receiving section 11 for executing a controlled action with a high priority without changing the grip of the right grip section 22 . Therefore, it is possible to improve the operability of the input device 10 mounted on the steering device 20 having a non-ring-shaped grip.

Next, the configuration of the input device 10 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. FIG. Elements that are substantially the same as those in the configuration described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 are given the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the second input reception section 12 includes an input reception section 121 and an input reception section 122 . The input receiving unit 121 is configured as a switch for receiving a driver's operation input for switching the operation mode of the fog lamps mounted on the vehicle 30 . For example, each time the input reception unit 121 receives an operation input by the driver's right hand 42, the operation mode is switched in the order of constant lighting mode, automatic lighting mode, and constant lighting off mode. In the automatic lighting mode, the fog lamps are automatically turned on and off according to the running environment of the vehicle 30 . Switching the operating mode of the fog lamps is an example of a third controlled action.

The input reception unit 122 is configured as a switch for receiving a driver's operation input for switching the operation mode of the headlamps mounted on the vehicle 30 . For example, each time the second input receiving unit 12 receives an operation input by the driver's right hand 42, the operation mode is switched in the order of high beam lighting mode and low beam lighting mode. Switching the operating mode of the headlamp is an example of a third controlled action.

The input device 10 has a support portion 13 . Support portion 13 supports input reception portion 121 and input reception portion 122 . The support portion 13 is fixed to the right arm portion 25 . That is, the support portion 13 is immovable with respect to the right arm portion 25 .

The input device 10 has a cover portion 14 . Cover portion 14 is provided on right arm portion 25 so as to cover input reception portion 121 and input reception portion 122 . The cover portion 14 has an opening 141 that exposes one of the input reception portion 121 and the input reception portion 122 .

The cover part 14 is configured to be rotatable about a second axis A2 extending in a direction intersecting the first axis A1 when viewed from the direction along the first axis A1. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the cover portion 14 is rotated clockwise or counterclockwise around the second axis A2 by a predetermined angle as viewed from the right by the right hand 42 of the driver. Each time, the input reception part exposed from the opening 141 is changed. Rotation of the cover portion 14 is an example of displacement of the cover portion 14 . A direction intersecting the first axis A1 is an example of a direction non-parallel to the first axis A1.

According to such a configuration, only the operable input receiving portion in the second input receiving portion 12 is exposed from the opening 141 of the cover portion 14, so that the driver can easily select the operable input receiving portion. recognizable. Further, in the second input reception section 12, the input reception sections other than the operable input reception section are hidden behind the cover section 14, so that erroneous operations can be prevented.

In this embodiment, as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the input device 10 can include a return mechanism 15 that returns the displaced cover portion 14 to its initial state. FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the return mechanism 15 viewed from the direction of arrow VII in FIG.

The cover part 14 has an operating lever 142 . As the driver's right hand 42 rotates the operation lever 142, the cover portion 14 is rotated.

For example, the return mechanism 15 has a torsion spring 151, as illustrated in FIG. One end 151 a of the torsion spring 151 is connected to the operating lever 142 and the other end 151 b of the torsion spring 151 is connected to the support portion 13 . When the operating lever 142 is rotated by the driver's right hand 42 as illustrated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. When the driver's right hand 42 is released from the operating lever 142 and the load applied to the operating lever 142 is released, the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 151 returns the operating lever 142 to its initial state.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the input receiving section 122 is exposed from the opening 141 of the cover section 14 in the initial state.

For example, when the vehicle 30 is running, it is assumed that the switching of the operating mode of the headlamps is used more frequently than the switching of the operating modes of the fog lamps. That is, when the priority is set based on the frequency of use while the vehicle 30 is running, the priority of switching the operation mode of the headlamps is set higher than the priority of switching the operation mode of the fog lamps. . That is, the input device 10 is configured such that the input reception section 122 associated with one controlled operation with the highest priority in the second input reception section 12 is exposed from the opening 141 of the cover section 14 in the initial state. It is

That is, the initial position of the cover portion 14 is determined such that the input reception portion 122 is exposed from the opening 141 of the cover portion 14 . According to such a configuration, the driver can operate the input reception unit 122 for executing the controlled operation with high priority without displacing the cover unit 14 .

It should be noted that the cover portion 14 is returned to its initial state when the load applied to the operating lever 142 is released. However, for example, when the input receiving portion 121 exposed from the opening 141 is operated by turning the operation lever 142, the cover portion 14 may be returned to the initial state. Specifically, as exemplified by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 7, the operation lever 142 is rotated by the driver's right hand 42, and the operation lever 142 moves to a position where the input receiving portion 121 is exposed through the opening 141. In this case, the operating lever 142 is temporarily locked at that position. Further, when the input reception unit 121 is operated, the lock of the operation lever 142 is released and the operation lever 142 is returned to the initial state by the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 151 .

In addition, the cover portion 14 has an operating lever 142, and one end 151a of the torsion spring 151 is attached to the operating lever 142. However, for example, one end 151a of the torsion spring 151 can be attached to the cover portion 14 when the cover portion 14 has the configuration illustrated in FIG.

Further, in this embodiment, the support portion 13 is fixed to the right arm portion 25, and the cover portion 14 is configured to be displaceable. However, a configuration in which the cover portion 14 is fixed to the right arm portion 25 and the support portion 13 is displaceable may also be adopted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, an operation knob 131 connected to the support portion 13 can be arranged on the right arm portion 25 . The right arm portion 25 has an opening 251 through which the operation knob 131 is exposed. The operation knob 131 is rotated within the opening 251 about a second axis A2 extending in a direction intersecting the first axis A1 when viewed from the direction along the first axis A1. Each time the operation knob 131 is rotated by the driver's right hand 42 by a predetermined angle, the support portion 13 is rotated about the second axis A2, and the input reception portion exposed from the opening 141 is changed. be.

It should be noted that the opening 141 is formed in the right arm portion 25 in this example. That is, the operation knob 131 is provided in a structure in which a portion of the right arm portion 25 constitutes the cover portion. However, a structure in which the operation knob 131 is arranged in the structure in which the cover portion 14 is provided on the right arm portion 25 illustrated in FIGS. 5 and 6 can also be adopted.

Next, the configuration of the input device 10 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG. Elements that are substantially the same as those in the configuration described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8 are given the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

The support section 13 supports the input reception section 121 and the input reception section 122 . The support portion 13 is configured to be rotatable about a second axis A2 extending in a direction intersecting the first axis A1 when viewed from the direction along the first axis A1. The support portion 13 has an operating lever 132 . The supporting portion 13 is rotated by rotating the operation lever 132 with the driver's right hand 42 . Rotation of the support portion 13 is an example of displacement of the support portion 13 .

The return mechanism 15 is configured to return the displaced support portion 13 to its initial state. As illustrated in FIG. 10 , the return mechanism 15 has a torsion spring 151 . One end 151 a of the torsion spring 151 is connected to the operating lever 132 and the other end 151 b of the torsion spring 151 is connected to the right arm 25 . When the operating lever 132 is rotated by the driver's right hand 42 as exemplified by the two-dot chain line in FIG. When the driver's right hand 42 is released from the operating lever 132 and the load applied to the operating lever 132 is released, the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 151 returns the operating lever 132 to its initial state.

As illustrated in FIG. 9, in the initial state, the input reception section 122 is arranged at the position closest to the first input reception section 11 . That is, in the input device 10, the input reception section 122 associated with one controlled action with the highest priority in the second input reception section 12 is arranged closest to the first input reception section 11 in the initial state. is configured as

That is, the initial position of the support portion 13 is determined such that the input reception portion 122 is arranged closest to the first input reception portion 11 . According to such a configuration, the driver can operate the input reception unit 122 for executing the controlled operation with high priority without displacing the support unit 13 .

It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the support portion 13 returns to its initial state when the load applied to the operating lever 132 is released. However, for example, when the input reception portion 121 arranged closest to the first input reception portion 11 is operated by turning the operation lever 132, the support portion 13 may be returned to the initial state. Specifically, as illustrated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 10, the operation lever 132 is rotated by the right hand 42 of the driver, and the input receiving section 121 is arranged closest to the first input receiving section 11. When the operating lever 132 moves to the position, the operating lever 132 is temporarily locked. Further, when the input reception unit 121 is operated, the lock of the operation lever 132 is released, and the operation lever 132 is returned to the initial state by the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 151 .

Further, in this embodiment, the support portion 13 has an operation lever 132, and one end 151a of the torsion spring 151 is attached to the operation lever 132. However, one end 151 a of the torsion spring 151 can be attached to the support portion 13 if, for example, the operating lever 132 is not provided on the support portion 13 .

Next, the configuration of the input device 10 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Elements that are substantially the same as those in the configuration described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 are given the same reference numerals, and repeated descriptions are omitted.

In this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 11 , the first input reception section 11 includes a left turn input reception section 111 and a right turn input reception section 112 . The left turn input reception unit 111 is configured as a switch that receives an operation input from the driver for turning on a lamp that notifies the surroundings of the vehicle 30 that the vehicle 30 is changing course to the left. The right-turn input reception unit 112 is configured as a switch that receives an operation input from the driver for turning on a lamp that notifies the surroundings of the vehicle 30 that the vehicle 30 is changing course to the right.

In each of the above embodiments, the first input reception section 11 has one or two input reception sections. However, the first input reception unit 11 can include three or more input reception units. Similarly, the second input reception section 12 has one or two input reception sections. However, the second input reception unit 12 can include three or more input reception units.

In each of the above embodiments, the priority of controlled actions is set in terms of frequency of use. However, in addition to or instead of the frequency of use, the priority of controlled actions can be set from the viewpoint of the integrity of the driving environment. For example, the second controlled operation includes, in addition to the operation of notifying the change of course of the vehicle 30, the operation of activating the wiper mounted on the vehicle 30, and the washing liquid from the washing tank mounted on the vehicle 30 to the windshield. can include the operation of injecting the For example, the third controlled operation can include, in addition to the operation of turning on/off the headlamps and fog lamps, the operation of turning on/off the emergency flashing indicator lamps mounted on the vehicle 30 and the operation of clearing the windshield.

In the second and third embodiments described above, the second axis A2 of the support portion 13 extends in a direction that intersects the first axis A1 of the shaft portion 23 of the steering device 20 . However, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, the support portion 13 can be rotatable around a third axis A3 extending in a direction intersecting the right arm portion 25. As shown in FIG. A direction intersecting the right arm portion 25 is an example of a direction non-parallel to the first axis A1.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the first input reception unit 11 and the second input reception unit 12 are arranged at positions where they can receive an operation with the right hand 42 of the driver holding the right grip 22 of the steering device 20. there is However, the first input reception unit 11 and the second input reception unit 12 may be arranged at a position capable of receiving an operation by the left hand 41 of the driver holding the left grip 21 of the steering device 20 .
