Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress generation of allophone when rotation means rotates a shift body to a specified shift position.SOLUTION: In a shifter 10, when a rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction and a knob 16 is rotated, the rotor cam 30 moves a click pin 20 via a communication block 24, whereby the click pin 20 is separated from a click surface 18 of the knob 16. Thus, generation of allophone can be suppressed. Next, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction, the rotor cam 30 releases movement of the click pin 20 via the communication block 24, whereby the click pin 20 is brought into contact with the click surface 18. Consequently, rotation of the knob 16 by the rotor cam 30 can be suppressed.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

The upper surface and the lower surface of the movement maintaining portion 24C are extended in the circumferential direction of the knob 16. Has been.

  A predetermined number (two in this embodiment) of connecting springs 26 (coil springs) serving as releasing biasing means constituting the releasing means is suspended between the base 12 and the connecting block 24. Supports the communication block 24 from below.

  The base 12 (which may be the support base 14 or the knob 16) is provided with a shift sensor (not shown) as a shift detection means. The shift sensor detects the rotational position of the knob 16 and shifts the knob 16. Detect position. The shift sensor is electrically connected to a vehicle control device (not shown), and an automatic transmission (not shown) of the vehicle is electrically connected to the control device. By being changed, the automatic transmission is controlled by the control device so that the automatic transmission corresponds to the shift position of the knob 16 (“P” range (parking range), “R” range (reverse range), “N” range (neutral)). Range) and “D” range (drive range)).

  An engine start / stop switch (not shown) as an operation unit is electrically connected to the control device, and a vehicle engine (not shown) is electrically connected. When the engine is stopped and the engine start / stop switch is operated by the occupant, the engine is started. On the other hand, when the engine is started and the engine start / stop switch is operated by a passenger, the engine is stopped.

  The base 12 is provided with an autocorrect mechanism 28 as rotating means.

  The autocorrect mechanism 28 is provided with a motor (not shown) as drive means. The motor is fixed to the base 12 and is electrically connected to the control device. The motor is mechanically connected to a transmission mechanism (deceleration mechanism, not shown), and the transmission mechanism is supported by the base 12.

  A substantially cylindrical rotor cam 30 as a rotating member is rotatably supported on the base 12 below the knob 16, and the rotor cam 30 is disposed coaxially with the knob 16 at a specified rotational position. . A transmission mechanism is mechanically connected to the rotor cam 30, and when the motor is driven, the rotor cam 30 is rotated at a reduced speed via the transmission mechanism.

  The rotor cam 30 is integrally provided with a rotating plate 30 </ b> A having a curved rectangular plate shape as a rotating portion. The rotating plate 30 </ b> A protrudes upward and is curved along the peripheral wall of the rotor cam 30. The rotary plate 30A is disposed in the knob 16, and the rotary plate 30A is unidirectional from the engagement protrusion of the knob 16 even when the knob 16 is rotated between the “P” position and the “D” position. In addition, the engagement protrusion of the knob 16 is made incapable of contacting with being spaced apart in the other direction.

  The rotor cam 30 is integrally provided with a release protrusion 32 having an L-shaped cross section as a release portion constituting a release means, and the release protrusion 32 protrudes radially inward of the rotor cam 30 and is connected to a communication block. 24 moving projections 24A are spaced apart in one direction. The other direction side and lower surface of the release protrusion 32 is a release inclined surface 32A as an inclined surface, and the release inclined surface 32A is inclined downward toward one direction.

  The base 12 (which may be the support base 14 or the knob 16) is provided with a rotation sensor 34 (for example, a Hall IC) as rotation detection means. The rotation sensor 34 detects the rotational position of the rotor cam 30 and controls it. Electrically connected to the device.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.

  In the shift device 10 having the above-described configuration, the knob 16 is rotated, whereby the shift position of the knob 16 is changed to the “P” position, the “R” position, the “N” position, and the “D” position. When the knob 16 is rotated, the moderation pin 20 is in contact with the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16 by the urging force of the spring 22 every time the shift position of the knob 16 is changed. The surface 18 is moved between the recesses 18 </ b> A while getting over the protrusion 18 </ b> B, and a sense of moderation is applied to the rotation operation of the knob 16.

  By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, the knob 16 is arranged at a shift position other than the “P” position (“R” position, “N” position or “D” position, “D” position in FIG. 2). When the engine is stopped by operating the engine start / stop switch (when the shift sensor detects that the shift position of the knob 16 is other than the “P” position), the automatic shift is controlled under the control of the control device. The machine's shift range is changed to the “P” range. Further, when the shift range of the automatic transmission is changed to the “P” range, the knob 16 is rotated to a shift position other than the “P” position after the engine start / stop switch is operated to start the engine. Until the shift sensor detects that the shift position of the knob 16 has been changed to a position other than the “P” position. For this reason, whenever the engine start / stop switch is operated, the shift range of the automatic transmission is set to the “P” range.

  When the knob 16 is arranged at a shift position other than the “P” position, when the engine start / stop switch is operated (a predetermined opportunity when the engine is stopped and / or started), In the autocorrect mechanism 28, the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction (one side) through the transmission mechanism when the motor is reversely driven by the control of the control device. For this reason, after the rotating plate 30A of the rotor cam 30 is brought into contact with the engaging protrusion of the knob 16, the knob 16 is rotated in the other direction by pressing the engaging protrusion of the knob 16 in the other direction. Knob 16 is rotated to the “P” position. Thereby, when the engine start / stop switch is operated, the knob 16 can be arranged (returned) to the “P” position, and the shift position of the knob 16 can be matched with the shift range of the automatic transmission.

  When the knob 16 is rotated to the “P” position (when the shift sensor detects that the shift position of the knob 16 is the “P” position), the motor is positively driven by the control of the control device. Thus, the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction (the other side) via the transmission mechanism. Further, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated to the specified rotation position (when the rotation sensor 34 detects that the rotation position of the rotor cam 30 is the specified rotation position), the positive drive of the motor is stopped under the control of the control device. Thus, the rotation of the rotor cam 30 in one direction is stopped. For this reason, even if the knob 16 is rotated from the “P” position to the “D” position because the rotary plate 30A of the rotor cam 30 is separated from the engagement protrusion of the knob 16 in one direction, the knob 16 is engaged. The protrusions are prevented from coming into contact with the rotating plate 30A of the rotor cam 30.

  Further, as described above, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction, the release protrusion 32 of the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction.

  For this reason, before the rotating plate 30A of the rotor cam 30 presses the engaging protrusion of the knob 16 in the other direction, the releasing inclined surface 32A of the releasing protrusion 32 is formed on the moving protrusion 24A of the connecting block 24 as shown in FIG. It abuts on the upper surface of the moving inclined portion 24B. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the release inclined surface 32A presses the upper surface of the moving inclined portion 24B downward, and the communication block 24 is moved downward against the urging force of the communication spring 26. The communication block 24 presses the communication protrusion 20 </ b> A of the moderation pin 20 downward, and the moderation pin 20 is moved downward against the urging force of the spring 22. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, when the release protrusion 32 reaches the upper side of the movement maintaining portion 24 </ b> C of the moving protrusion 24 </ b> A, the moderation pin 20 is separated from the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16 so as not to contact (moderation pin). 20 contact with the moderation surface 18 is released).

  Thereafter, when the rotary plate 30A of the rotor cam 30 presses the engagement protrusion of the knob 16 in the other direction, and the knob 16 is rotated from the shift position other than the “P” position to the “P” position, FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the release protrusion 32 is moved above the movement maintaining portion 24C, so that the state in which the movement maintaining portion 24C is pressed downward by the release protrusion 32 is maintained and the communication block 20A is connected by the communication block 24. Is maintained in a state in which the moderation pin 20 is separated from the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16 so as not to be in contact with the moderation surface 18.

  When the knob 16 is rotated to the “P” position, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the release protrusion 32 is moved to the other direction side of the movement maintaining part 24 </ b> C. The downward pressing of 24C is released, and the downward pressing of the connecting projection 20A by the connecting block 24 is released. For this reason, the communication block 24 is moved upward by the urging force of the communication spring 26, the moderation pin 20 is moved upward by the urging force of the spring 22, and the moderation pin 20 is recessed 18 </ b> A of the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16. Touched.

  Next, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction, as shown in FIG. 9, the release protrusion 32 is moved below the movement maintaining portion 24C and the moving inclined portion 24B of the moving protrusion 24A, and the structure shown in FIG. As shown, the release protrusion 32 is in contact with the lower surface of the moving inclined portion 24B. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11, the release protrusion 32 presses the lower surface of the moving inclined portion 24B upward, and the communication block 24 is moved upward. Then, when the release protrusion 32 passes through the moving inclined portion 24B, the upward pressing of the moving inclined portion 24B by the release protrusion 32 is released, and the communication block 24 is moved downward.

  Here, as described above, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction and the knob 16 is rotated from the shift position other than the “P” position to the “P” position, the release protrusion 32 of the rotor cam 30 is connected to the communication block. When the connecting block 24 moves the connecting projection 20A of the moderation pin 20 to the lower side by moving the moving projection 24A of 24 to the lower side, the moderation pin 20 is separated from the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16 so as to be inaccessible. The For this reason, it is suppressed that abnormal noise (passing noise) due to getting over the convex portion 18B between the concave portions 18A in the moderation surface 18 in a state where the moderation pin 20 is in contact with the moderation surface 18 by the urging force of the spring 22 is suppressed. it can.

  Further, as described above, when the knob 16 is rotated to the “P” position, the downward pressing of the moving protrusion 24A by the releasing protrusion 32 is released and the lower side of the moderation pin 20 by the communication block 24 is released. By releasing the pressure, the connecting block 24 is moved upward by the biasing force of the connecting spring 26, and the moderation pin 20 is brought into contact with the recess 18 </ b> A of the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16 by the biasing force of the spring 22. Thus, the rotation of the knob 16 is limited. Therefore, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction next, the knob 16 can be prevented from being rotated in one direction from the “P” position by the rotor cam 30.

  Moreover, as described above, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction, the release protrusion 32 presses the moving inclined portion 24B of the moving protrusion 24A of the connecting block 24 upward, and the connecting block 24 is moved upward. Thus, the release protrusion 32 is passed through the moving inclined portion 24B. For this reason, it can suppress that rotation to the one direction of the cancellation | release protrusion 32 is restrict | limited to the movement inclination part 24B, and the rotor cam 30 can rotate to a regular rotation position.

  Further, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction, the release protrusion 32 on the rotor cam 30 side moves the movement protrusion 24A on the moderation pin 20 side downward, so that the moderation pin 20 moves from the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16. Spaced apart. For this reason, the moderation pin 20 can be easily separated from the moderation surface 18. On the other hand, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction, the release protrusion 32 on the rotor cam 30 side releases the downward pressing of the moving protrusion 24 </ b> A on the moderation pin 20 side, and the moderation pin 20 reduces the moderation of the knob 16. The surface 18 is contacted. For this reason, the moderation pin 20 can be easily brought into contact with the moderation surface 18.

  Further, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction, the release protrusion 32 of the rotor cam 30 moves the moving protrusion 24A of the communication block 24 downward, and moves the communication protrusion 20A of the moderation pin 20 downward. Let For this reason, the rotor cam 30 can easily move the moderation pin 20 downward via the communication block 24. On the other hand, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction, the release protrusion 32 of the rotor cam 30 releases the downward pressing of the moving protrusion 24A of the connecting block 24, and the lower part of the connecting protrusion 20A of the moderation pin 20 Release the pressure to the side. For this reason, the movement of the rotor cam 30 to the lower side of the moderation pin 20 via the communication block 24 can be easily released.

  A release protrusion 32 is provided on the rotor cam 30. For this reason, the release protrusion 32 can be easily rotated by the rotation of the rotor cam 30, and the release protrusion 32 can be easily installed.

  Further, the release inclined surface 32A on the rotor cam 30 side (release protrusion 32) and the upper surface of the moving inclined portion 24B on the moderation pin 20 side (moving protrusion 24A) are inclined upward in the direction toward the other direction. Therefore, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction, the release inclined surface 32A can easily move the moving inclined portion 24B downward, and the moderation pin 20 can be easily moved from the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16. Can be separated.

  Moreover, the lower surface of the moving inclined portion 24B on the moderation pin 20 side (moving protrusion 24A) is inclined in a direction toward the lower side as it goes toward one direction. Therefore, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction, the release protrusion 32 on the rotor cam 30 side can easily move the moving inclined portion 24B upward, and the release protrusion 32 easily moves the moving inclined portion 24B. I can pass.

  Further, the communication block 24 communicates the communication protrusions 20 </ b> A of the plurality of moderation pins 20. For this reason, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction, the release protrusion 32 of the rotor cam 30 can move the plurality of moderation pins 20 downward via the communication block 24, and the plurality of moderation pins 20 can be easily separated from the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16. On the other hand, when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction, the release protrusion 32 of the rotor cam 30 can release the downward pressing of the plurality of moderation pins 20 via the communication block 24, and the plurality of moderation pins 20. Can be easily brought into contact with the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16.

  Moreover, even if the number of release protrusions 32 and moving protrusions 24A is smaller than the number of moderation pins 20 (one each in this embodiment), the release protrusions 32 and moving protrusions 24A are rotated when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in the other direction. The plurality of moderation pins 20 can be separated from the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16, and when the rotor cam 30 is rotated in one direction, the release protrusion 32 and the moving protrusion 24 </ b> A cause the plurality of moderation pins 20 to adjust the moderation of the knob 16. The surface 18 can be contacted. For this reason, the installation range of the release protrusion 32 and the moving protrusion 24A in the circumferential direction of the rotor cam 30 can be reduced, and the space around the rotor cam 30 necessary for separating and contacting the plurality of moderation pins 20 with respect to the moderation surface 18 can be reduced.

  In addition, a release protrusion 32 is provided on the rotor cam 30 side, and a movement protrusion 24A is provided on the moderation pin 20 side (connecting block 24), and the movement protrusion 24A has a dimension in the circumferential direction of the rotor cam 30 compared to the release protrusion 32. It has been enlarged. For this reason, since the moving projection 24A is not rotated integrally with the rotor cam 30, the space around the rotor cam 30 necessary for rotating the rotor cam 30 (including the release projection 32) can be reduced.

  Further, the moderation pin 20 is brought into contact with the moderation surface 18 of the knob 16 in the axial direction of the knob 16. For this reason, the shift device 10 can be reduced in size in the radial direction of the knob 16.
