[Name of invention]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automatic opening / closing device for a glove box installed in front of a passenger seat in an automobile compartment. A conventional glove box is opened by releasing a latch caught on a striker on the crash pad side by pressing a button attached to the glove box with a finger. The glove box was closed by hand and locked when the striker was latched. As a result, the product value was increased due to ease of use and convenience.

An object of the present invention is to enable the glove box to be opened and closed automatically by the pushbutton operation.

The present invention provides an operation switch that can be selectively operated by the button to achieve the above object, a relay capable of exciting the electromagnet by the operation number position, a first cam that can be rotated by the excitation force, and A second cam rotated in a reverse direction by the rotation of the first cam, a rod elastically moved by the rotation of the second cam, and a rotation guide groove for inducing opening and closing of the glove box by the movement of the rod. .

According to the present invention, when the operating switch is pressed once, the first cam and the second cam rotate in reverse with each other, and when the rod releases the restraining force applied to the rotation guide groove, the glove box is opened by its own weight. When the first cam and the second cam are reversely rotated against each other, and the rod exerts a restraining force on the rotation guide groove, the glove box is closed by this restraining force.

A description with reference to the following drawings.

1 is an overall configuration diagram of the present invention, 1 is an operation switch, 2 is a relay, 3 is a first cam, 4 is a second cam, 5 is a rod, 6 is a rotation guide groove.

The operation switch 1 and the relay 2 are connected to the battery 7 and the relay 2 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 8 again to supply power to the electromagnet 8 by the operation of the operation switch 1. Can be supplied selectively.

The operation switch 1 may be mounted on the glove box 9, but is preferably mounted on a crash pad (not shown) on one side of the glove box 9, and the relay 2, the first cam 3, The second cam 4, the rod 5 and the electromagnet 8 are likewise preferably mounted on the crash pad, and the rotation guide groove 6 should be formed in the glove box 9.

The first cam 3 is rotatable about the hinge 10. On the hinge 10, a return spring 11 for allowing the first cam 3 to always be applied with a spring force counterclockwise is provided. The steel 12 is attached to one side and the tension spring 13 is installed between the electromagnet 8 and the steel 12.

The second cam 4 is in contact with the other side of the first cam 3 so as to be able to rotate about the hinge 14.

The rod 5 has a restraining force such that the hinge 15 on one side prevents the glove box 9 from rotating or rotating about the hinge 16 toward the wall of the rotation guide groove 6 in the rotation guide groove 6. The spring force is always applied to the left side of FIG. 1 by the spring 17 and the other side is controlled by the second cam 4.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the operation switch 1 has a button 21 in which a movement guide 19 and a contactor 20 are formed at an end of which is elastically extended by a spring 24 in the case 18. As shown in FIG. And a contact terminal 23 that can selectively open and close an electrical contact with the contactor 20 by the movement of the movement guide hole 22 and the movement guide 19 in which the movement guide 19 moves in stages. It is equipped with, and is attached to the crash pad 25 side.

As shown in FIG. 3, the contact terminal 23 is configured to allow one of the negative terminal 26 and two terminals 27 and 27 'to contact the contactor 20. The contactor 20 ) Has the negative terminal 26 and both terminals 27 and 27 'and two contacts 28 and 28' which are in an ON or OFF state.

The dashed line in FIG. 3 exemplifies the contacts 28 and 28 'of the contactor 20. When the contacts 26 and the two terminals 27 on one side are positioned (down), the operation switch 1 is turned off. If it is connected in the ON state and positioned (upper) in the contactless space with the other terminals 27 'on the other side, the operation switch 1 is turned OFF.

The movement guide hole 22 is formed by forming five stairway planes A, B, C, D, and E as a fourth row, and successively stepping around the two projections 29 and 29 'like the fourth row. In FIG. 4, the dotted line is an example of displaying the position of the movement guide 19. When the operation switch 1 is pressed once, the movement guide 19 is located at the point P1 of the ruled surface A and moves in the direction of the arrow. After going to the point P2 of the ruled plane B and moving back to the point P3 of the ruled plane C, it is caught by the projection 29 to achieve the ON state.

In this case, the contacts 28 and 28 'of the contactor 20 are connected to the negative terminal 26 of the contact terminal 23 and both terminals 27 on one side as shown by the dotted line in FIG.

In addition, when the operation switch 1 is pressed again in the above ON state, the movement guide 19 moves in the direction of the arrow from the point P3 of the ruled plane C to the point P4 of the ruled plane D, and then passes through the ruled plane E again. The OFF state is achieved by returning to point P1 on plane A.

At this time, the contacts 28 and 28 'of the contactor 20 are connected only to the other terminals 27' of the other side of the contact terminal 23 as shown by the dotted line in FIG.

Therefore, in order to open the glove box 9, press the operation switch 1 once to turn it on, and the relay 2 operates to excite the electromagnet 8 to push the steel 12 by the excitation force. This causes the first cam 3 to rotate clockwise about the hinge 10 so that the second cam 4 rotates counterclockwise around the hinge by the force of the spring 17 and the rod 5 ) Moves to the left in FIG. 1 to release the restraining force on the rotation guide groove 6 while the glove box 9 rotates counterclockwise around the hinge 16 by its own weight to achieve opening.

In this case, the hinge 15 of the rod 5 rotates along the rotation guide groove 6 so that the rotation guide groove 6 rotates in the same direction as the glove box 9 to the lower portion of the rotation guide groove 6. Located. In other words, the hinge 15 is not moved but the rotation guide groove 6 is moved.

When the operation switch 1 is pressed again to close the glove box 9 while the glove box 9 is open as described above, the operation switch 1 is turned off as described above, and thus the electromagnet 8 Since the first cam 3 is turned counterclockwise about the hinge 10 by the return spring 11, the first cam 3 is rotated by pushing the second cam 4 clockwise and rotated. As the rod 5 moves toward the right side of FIG. 1 by the rotation of 4), the glove box 9 moves clockwise about the hinge 16 while pushing the right side of the rotation guide groove 6 to the hinge 15. The hinge 15 is moved to the upper portion of the rotation guide groove 6 along the rotation guide groove 6 and the glove box 9 is closed when the movement is stopped.

The hinge 15 in the above is not moving the rotation guide groove 6 substantially, but the rotation guide groove 6 is moved.

Such the present invention is to open and close the glove box spontaneously by a light touch of the operation switch is to maximize the convenience of use and thereby improve the merchandise.
