Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
The steering lock device according to the present embodiment is attached to a vehicle such as a two-wheeled vehicle to lock and release the steering wheel, and includes a lock bar R attached to a case member 2, as shown in FIG. Then, the lock bar R is advanced to a protruding state to lock the steering wheel of the vehicle, and as shown in FIG. 3, the lock bar R is moved back to a retracted state. This allows the steering to be unlocked and the steering lock to be released.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, the steering lock device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a solenoid S having a plunger P that can be displaced by energization, a case member 2 made of a box-shaped molded product, A cover member 3 that covers the opening of the case member 2, a link member 5 as a transmission member, a lock bar R, a case 7, a switching member 6 composed of a pressing part 8 and a rotor 9, and a contact case member. 10.

The solenoid S is an actuator that is attached to a predetermined position of the case member 2 and can displace the plunger P when energized.The solenoid S generates magnetism by energizing a coil (not shown) disposed inside the solenoid. It is configured so that the plunger P can be displaced. That is, unlike a self-holding solenoid, the solenoid S is not equipped with a holding means such as a permanent magnet, and therefore is configured to be able to displace the plunger P by the time the internal coil is energized.

Specifically, in the solenoid S according to the present embodiment, when the internal coil is not energized, the plunger P is maintained in a protruding state by the biasing force of the coil spring B1, and the internal When the coil is energized, the magnetism generated in the coil attracts the plunger P against the biasing force of the coil spring B1 and displaces it to the left in the figure, as shown in FIG. There is.

The case member 2 is made of a cup-shaped member that opens downward, and as shown in FIG. A notch 2b and an opening 2c through which the solenoid S is exposed are formed. As shown in FIG. 4, the case member 2 accommodates the solenoid S, the lock bar R, the link member 5, the switching member 6, etc., and also closes the accommodation space by attaching the cover member 3. It is now possible to Note that, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a fastening member 4 is attached to one end of the case member 2, and the steering lock device 1 is attached to a predetermined position of the vehicle by the fastening member 4.

The link member 5 (transmission member) is capable of transmitting the displacement operation of the solenoid S to the lock bar R via the switching member 6, and is composed of a long link member having one end 5a and the other end 5b. . The link member 5 according to this embodiment is rotatable around one end 5a, the other end 5b is connected to the pressing part 8 of the switching member 6, and the one end 5a and the other end 5b are connected to each other. A plunger P is connected between them.

More specifically, one end portion 5a of the link member 5 is rotatably attached to the case member 2 by inserting the shaft portion La projecting therethrough, and the other end portion 5b is attached to the pressing portion 8 of the switching member 6. It is rotatably attached by inserting the shaft portion Lb formed protrudingly from the base end of the shaft portion Lb. Further, a portion of the link member 5 between the one end portion 5a and the other end portion 5b is rotatably attached by inserting a shaft portion Lc formed protrudingly from the tip of the plunger P.

As a result, when the coil of the solenoid S is energized and the plunger P is displaced from the protruding state (see FIG. 12) to the sucked state (see FIG. 13), the link member 5 is centered around the end portion 5a as shown by the arrow in FIG. The switching member 6 can be operated by rotating in the direction and the other end portion 5b pressing the pressing portion 8 as the other end portion 5b rotates. Then, when the energization of the coil of the solenoid S ends, the force attracted by the coil disappears, so the plunger P is displaced by the urging force of the coil spring B1, and reaches the protruding state as shown in FIG. I will be returning.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the lock bar R is composed of a shaft-like member attached to the case member 2, and protrudes by moving forward or backward by the biasing force of the plunger P and the coil spring B2, which are displaced by the energization of the solenoid S. (see FIG. 1) or immersed state (see FIG. 5). When the lock bar R is in the protruding state, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the tip of the lock bar R is engaged with the recess K formed in the steering wheel W of the vehicle, and the steering is locked. When the bar R is in the retracted state, as shown in FIG. 14, the tip of the lock bar R separates from the recess K and the steering wheel W is released from the recess K, thereby releasing the steering lock. There is.

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the contact case member 10 is a block-shaped member having an insertion hole 10a through which the lock bar R can be inserted, and the flange portion Ra of the lock bar R is in contact with the peripheral edge of the insertion hole 10a. It is said that they can be connected in contact with each other. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, a contact 11 made of conductive metal is attached to the bottom surface of the contact case member 10, and as the contact case member 10 moves, the contact 11 moves to the top surface of the case member 2. It is possible to slide the T.

The switching member 6 is installed interposed between the link member 5 and the lock bar R, and switches the lock bar R to a protruding state or a retracted state each time the plunger P is displaced, and is used for centering a so-called knock-type ballpoint pen. It has a structure similar to what is called a mechanism (a mechanism in which the core repeats the protruding and retracting states each time a pressing operation is performed). That is, the switching member 6 is configured so that the lock bar R repeats the protruding state and the retracted state each time the solenoid S is energized and the plunger P is operated to change from the protruding state to the suction state.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 18, the switching member 6 includes a case 7 in which an insertion hole 7b is formed, and a pressing portion 8 and a rotor 9 that are inserted into the insertion hole 7b of the case 7. The pressing portion 8 is integrally formed with a plurality of protrusions f at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the rotor 9 is integrally formed with a plurality of protrusions g at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. It is integrally formed in the interval. Note that the case 7 and the pressing part 8 are respectively formed with a notch 7a and a groove 8a for inserting the other end 5b of the link member 5 to avoid interference, and the base end of the pressing part 8 is provided with a notch 7a and a groove 8a. , a mounting hole 8b for fitting and mounting the shaft portion Lb is formed.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 16, a plurality of protrusions 7c are integrally formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 7b formed in the case 7. The convex portion f of the pressing portion 8 is fitted and assembled into the concave and convex shaped recess formed by the portion 7c. Thereby, the pressing part 8 is allowed to slide in the axial direction of the insertion hole 7b while being restricted from rotating relative to the case 7. Furthermore, the pressing part 8 is cylindrical with an insertion hole 8c that penetrates in the axial direction, and as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the protruding part 9a of the rotor 9 can be inserted into the insertion hole 8c. ing.

Note that a flange portion 9b is integrally formed at one end of the rotor 9, and as shown in FIGS. It is attached. Further, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the contact case member 10, the flange portion Ra of the lock bar R, and the flange portion 9b of the rotor 9 are assembled in a stacked manner, and the contact case member 10 is assembled with a coil spring B2. , the lock bar R and the rotor 9 are urged to the right in the figure.

The rotor 9 rotates by a predetermined angle for each displacement movement of the plunger P transmitted by the link member 5 (transmission member), and moves the lock bar R to a first locking position where the lock bar R is locked in a protruding state. The second locking position, which locks in the retracted state, is alternately switched. That is, when the lock bar R is in the protruding state (see FIG. 12), the rotor 9 is in the first locking position, and the protruding end surface g1 of the protruding strip g of the rotor 9 is aligned with the protruding end of the protruding strip 7c of the case 7. It comes into contact with the surface 7ca and locks the lock bar R in a protruding state. When the rotor 9 is in the first locking position as described above, as shown in FIG. g1 and the protruding end surface f1 of the protruding portion f are spaced apart by a predetermined distance.

When the solenoid S is energized from this state to displace the plunger P to the suction state, as shown in FIG. As shown in 18, the protruding end surface f1 of the protruding strip f comes into contact with and presses a part of the protruding end surface g1 of the protruding strip g. The protruding end surface f1 of the protruding portion f is formed to be deflected (gradient at a predetermined angle) with respect to the axial direction (the moving direction of the pressing portion 8), and presses the rotor 9 in the rotational direction. Note that, after the solenoid S is energized, the plunger P is brought into a protruding state (the state shown in FIG. 12) by the biasing force of the coil spring B1, so that the link member 5 also returns to its original state.

Then, when the rotor 9 rotates with respect to the case 7, the protruding portion g of the rotor 9 is disengaged from the protruding portion 7c of the case 7, and the lock is released, and the protruding end surface g1 of the protruding portion g is The rotor 9 is moved to the second locking position by the biasing force of the coil spring B2 while maintaining the locked state in contact with the protruding end surface f1 of the protruding strip f (see FIG. 14). At this time, at the same time as the rotor 9 moves, the lock bar R and the contact case member 10 also move in the same direction (to the right in FIG. 14) due to the urging force of the coil spring B1, so the lock bar R is locked in the retracted state. be able to.

Thereafter, when the solenoid S is energized again to displace the plunger P to the suction state (see FIG. 13), the other end 5b of the link member 5 presses the pressing portion 8 to the left in FIG. The rotor 9 is moved together with the pressing part 8 while maintaining the state in which the protruding end surface f1 is in contact with a part of the protruding end surface g1 of the convex strip g. Note that, after the solenoid S is energized, the plunger P is brought into a protruding state (the state shown in FIG. 12) by the biasing force of the coil spring B1, so that the link member 5 also returns to its original state.

When the rotor 9 moves to the protruding end surface 7ca of the protruding part 7c in the case 7 against the biasing force of the coil spring B2, it rotates relative to the case 7 and reaches the second locking position, and the protruding part The protruding end surface g1 of g is engaged with the protruding end surface 7ca of the protruding strip portion 7c. At this time, at the same time as the rotor 9 moves, the lock bar R and the contact case member 10 also move in the same direction (to the left in FIG. 14) against the biasing force of the coil spring B1. Can be locked.

In this way, each time the solenoid S is energized, the rotor 9 moves between the first position and the second position, so each time the solenoid S is energized, the lock bar R is moved between the extended state and the retracted state. It can be moved. Therefore, it is not necessary to continuously energize the solenoid S in order to hold the lock bar R in the protruding state or in the retracted state, and it is possible to prevent battery consumption and overheating of the solenoid S. There is no need to use a type solenoid, and manufacturing costs can be reduced.

Further, as described above, the contact case member 10 connected to the proximal end side of the lock bar R according to the present embodiment is attached with the contact 11, so that the lock bar R can be moved between the protruding state and the retracted state. When moving between the two, the contact 11 can slide on the top surface T of the case member 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a contact plate 12 is formed on the top surface T of the case member. The contact plate 12 is made of a metal member (conductive member) that is insert-molded on the top surface T of the case member 2, and as shown in FIGS. It has three contact plates 12c, a fourth contact plate 12d, and a fifth contact plate 12e.

The first contact plate 12a and the second contact plate 12b are connected to the wiring h extending from the positive terminal and the negative terminal of the solenoid S, and can be connected to the control means 14 via the terminal portions a and b. ing. The control means 14 is made up of a microcomputer or the like installed on the vehicle body side, and is electrically connected to the solenoid S via terminals a, b and wiring h, so that the solenoid S can be energized at any timing. .

The third contact plate 12c, the fourth contact plate 12d, and the fifth contact plate 12e form an electric circuit according to the contact position with the contact 11 when the contact 11 moves together with the contact case member 10. It is connected to the detection means 15 via parts c to e. The detection means 15, like the control means 14, is composed of a microcomputer or the like installed on the vehicle body side, and is connected to the third contact plate 12c, the fourth contact plate 12d, and the fifth contact plate 12e, respectively.

However, when the lock bar R is in the protruding state and the contact 11 is in the position H1 (see FIGS. 8 and 9), electrical continuity is formed between the third contact plate 12c and the fifth contact plate 12e, and an electric circuit is formed. At the same time, when the lock bar R is in the retracted state and the contact 11 is in the position H2 (see FIGS. 8 and 9), the fourth contact plate 12d and the fifth contact plate 12e are electrically connected to form an electric circuit. It is now possible to do so.

Therefore, since the detection means 15 is connected to the third contact plate 12c, the fourth contact plate 12d, and the fifth contact plate 12e, respectively, the contact point 11 and the contact plate 12 (the third contact plate 12c, the fourth contact plate 12d The position of the lock bar R can be detected based on the electric circuit formed between the contact plate 12e) and the fifth contact plate 12e), and the position of the lock bar R can be detected without providing a separate sensor such as a non-contact sensor. A protruding or recessed state can be detected.

According to the present embodiment, a solenoid S having a plunger P that can be displaced by energizing a coil, a link member 5 that can transmit the displacement operation of the solenoid S to a lock bar R, and a link member 5 and a lock bar R are connected to each other. Since it is equipped with a switching member 6 that is installed interposed therebetween and switches the lock bar R between the protruding state and the retracted state every time the plunger P is displaced, the lock bar R is moved by the solenoid S and the response of the lock bar R is controlled. The speed can be improved and the required moving distance of the lock bar R can be secured.

Further, the switching member 6 according to the present embodiment rotates by a predetermined angle every time the plunger P is displaced by the link member 5, and is locked to a first locking position where the lock bar R is locked in a protruding state. Since it has the rotor 9 that alternately switches between the second locking position and the second locking position where the bar R is locked in the retracted state, the lock bar R can be held in the protruding state or the retracted state with a simple configuration.

Furthermore, since the transmission member capable of transmitting the displacement operation of the solenoid S to the lock bar R is composed of an elongated link member 5 having one end 5a and the other end 5b, the necessary movement distance of the lock bar R can be reduced. Can be easily secured. Furthermore, the link member 5 according to the present embodiment is rotatable around one end 5a, the other end 5b is connected to the switching member 6, and the one end 5a and the other end 5b are connected to each other. Since the plunger P is connected between them, the displacement operation of the plunger P can be transmitted to the switching member 6 while the link member 5 rotates around the one end portion 5a.

According to the steering lock device 1 according to the present embodiment, the contacts 11 attached to the lock bar R and the contact plate 12 (third contact plate 12c) in which an electric circuit is formed according to the contact position of the contacts 11 , a fourth contact plate 12d and a fifth contact plate 12e), and a detection means 15 capable of detecting the position of the lock bar R based on an electric circuit formed between the contact 11 and the contact plate 12. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the need for a sensor for confirming the positioning of the lock bar R, and it is possible to suppress manufacturing costs.

In addition, since the contact plate 12 according to the present embodiment is made of a metal member that is insert-molded in the case member 2, it is possible to prevent the contact plate 12 from shifting relative to the case member 2, and it is possible to prevent the position of the lock bar R from shifting. It can be detected with high accuracy. In particular, since the contact plate 12 is formed on the top surface T of the cup-shaped case member 2 that opens downward, it is possible to prevent it from being soaked in rainwater, etc., and to avoid electrical malfunctions. Can be done.

Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in FIGS. 19 to 22, one end 5a is connected to the plunger P, and the other end 5b is switched. A link member 5 (transmission member) connected to the member 6 and rotatable about a predetermined position between one end 5a and the other end 5b may be used.

In this case, one end portion 5a of the link member 5 is rotatably attached to the plunger P by inserting the shaft portion La projecting therethrough, and the other end portion 5b is attached to the base end of the pressing portion 8 of the switching member 6. It is rotatably attached through the protruding shaft portion Lb. Further, a portion of the link member 5 between the one end portion 5a and the other end portion 5b is rotatably attached to the case member 2 by inserting the shaft portion Lc projecting therethrough.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 22, when the coil of the solenoid S is energized and the plunger P is displaced from the protruding state to the attracted state, the link member 5 is positioned between the one end 5a and the other end 5b. The switching member 6 can be actuated by rotating around the center and by causing the other end 5b to press the pressing portion 8 as the other end 5b rotates. Then, when the energization of the coil of the solenoid S ends, the force attracted by the coil disappears, so that the plunger P is displaced by the biasing force of the coil spring B1 and returns to the protruding state.

According to this other embodiment, the link member 5 has one end 5a connected to the plunger P, the other end 5b connected to the switching member 6, and the one end 5a and the other end 5b connected to each other. Since the link member 5 is rotatable around a predetermined position between the one end portion 5a and the other end portion 5b, the displacement operation of the plunger P is transmitted to the switching member 6 while rotating around the predetermined position between the one end portion 5a and the other end portion 5b. be able to.

Note that in this embodiment, the link member 5 is used as a transmission member capable of transmitting the displacement operation of the plunger P to the lock bar R, but other types of transmission members may be used. Note that although this embodiment is applied to a two-wheeled vehicle, it may be applied to other types of vehicles.
