この図１（ｂ）に示す状態においては、図１（ａ）の状態ではエアコンパネル操作部１１に覆われるようにエアコンパネル操作部１１の背後に隠されていた、小物入れ左側壁１５、小物入れ上面壁１６、仕切り壁１７、ＥＴＣ車載器１８等の、本体部１０の一部が前方から見え、ドライバから手が届くようになる。以下、図１（ａ）の状態を閉状態（第１の状態に相当する）、図１（ｂ）の状態を開状態（第２の状態に相当する）と記す。   In the state shown in FIG. 1B, the accessory case left side wall 15 hidden behind the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 so as to be covered by the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 in the state of FIG. A part of the main body 10 such as the top wall 16, the partition wall 17, and the ETC vehicle-mounted device 18 can be seen from the front and can be reached from the driver. Hereinafter, the state of FIG. 1A is referred to as a closed state (corresponding to the first state), and the state of FIG. 1B is referred to as an open state (corresponding to the second state).

エアコンパネル操作部１１の、閉状態において前方側を向いている部分（以下エアコンパネル操作部１１の前面と記す）には、エアコン等の車内機器の状態を視覚的に表示し、さらにドライバの操作を直接受け付ける表示操作面がある。図２に、この表示操作面に配される表示パネルＰ１およびタッチボタンＰ２〜Ｐ１４を例示する。この図に示す通り、表示操作面には、現在時刻、エアコンの空気吹き出し量、吹き出し位置、車室内温度等を示す液晶表示部Ｐ１が設けられている。また表示操作面には、エアコンの作動態様の設定（外気導入モードと内気モードの切り替え、温度調節、自動調整モードのオン・オフ、デフロスタのオン・オフ等）、ＥＴＣ車載器１８の通信履歴表示要求、時間表示形式の切り替え等、車内機器の作動を制御するためのタッチボタンが配置されている。   The portion of the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 facing forward in the closed state (hereinafter referred to as the front surface of the air conditioner panel operation unit 11) visually displays the state of the in-vehicle device such as an air conditioner, and further operates the driver. There is a display operation surface that accepts directly. FIG. 2 illustrates a display panel P1 and touch buttons P2 to P14 arranged on the display operation surface. As shown in this figure, the display operation surface is provided with a liquid crystal display portion P1 indicating the current time, the air blowing amount of the air conditioner, the blowing position, the passenger compartment temperature, and the like.

図３に、開状態における車載用操作装置１の正面図を示す。この図および図１（ｂ）に示す通り、開状態においては、小物を入れることができる空間と、仕切り壁１７によってその小物入れ用の空間から区切られた右上の空間に収められたＥＴＣ車載器１８が見える。また、小物入れ用の空間は、上述の仕切り壁１７に加え、本体部１０の一部としての小物入れ左側壁１５、小物入れ上面壁１６、小物入れ右側壁１９、小物入れ奥壁２０、小物入れ下面壁２１によって囲まれ、前方に向かって開いている。また、ＥＴＣ車載器１８は、ＥＴＣ車載器１８の下面および左側面を囲む仕切り壁１７、および本体部１０の一部としてのＥＴＣ車載器用上面壁２４、およびＥＴＣ車載器用右面壁２７に固定されている。   In FIG. 3, the front view of the vehicle-mounted operating device 1 in an open state is shown. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 1B, in the open state, an ETC on-board unit that is housed in a space in which an accessory can be placed and an upper right space that is separated from the space for the accessory by the partition wall 17. 18 is visible. In addition to the partition wall 17 described above, the accessory compartment space includes an accessory compartment left side wall 15, an accessory compartment upper surface wall 16, an accessory compartment right side wall 19, an accessory compartment rear wall 20, an accessory as part of the main body 10. It is surrounded by the bottom wall 21 and opened forward. The ETC vehicle-mounted device 18 is fixed to the partition wall 17 surrounding the lower surface and the left side surface of the ETC vehicle-mounted device 18, the ETC vehicle-mounted device upper surface wall 24 as a part of the main body 10, and the ETC vehicle-mounted device right-side wall 27. Yes.

また、エアコンパネル操作部１１の裏面（すなわちエアコンパネル操作部１１前面の裏側）の中央手前側には、エアコンパネル操作部１１と一体に設けられた突起部１１ａがある。また、操作スイッチ１２の直下には、開口部２２がある。この開口部２２が囲む穴の大きさは、突起部１１ａがちょうど嵌まる程度である。   In addition, a projection 11 a provided integrally with the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 is provided on the front side of the rear surface of the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 (that is, the back side of the front surface of the air conditioner panel operation unit 11). Further, an opening 22 is provided directly below the operation switch 12. The size of the hole surrounded by the opening 22 is such that the protrusion 11a is just fitted.

次に、図４に、図３のＡ−Ａ断面図（ただし切り口のみ）を示す。この図に示す通り、開状態においては、エアコンパネル操作部１１の前面が、本体部１０と当たることで、エアコンパネル操作部１１の倒れ角がほぼ９０度に保たれている。また、操作スイッチ１２は、金属等から成る棒２５の一端に固定されており、この棒２５の他端は、ロック機構２６内にまで続いている。このロック機構２６は、閉状態においてエアコンパネル操作部１１の閉状態を保持し、かつ操作スイッチ１２が押されたときにその保持を解除するための装置である。   Next, FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view along the line AA in FIG. As shown in this figure, in the open state, the front surface of the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 is in contact with the main body unit 10 so that the tilt angle of the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 is maintained at approximately 90 degrees. The operation switch 12 is fixed to one end of a rod 25 made of metal or the like, and the other end of the rod 25 continues into the lock mechanism 26. The lock mechanism 26 is a device for holding the closed state of the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 in the closed state and releasing the hold when the operation switch 12 is pressed.

図５に、このＡ−Ａ断面におけるロック機構２６およびその周辺部分の拡大図を示す。この図に示す通り、ロック機構２６は、ケース２６ａ、および、ケース２６ａ内に取り付けられたばね２６ｂ、留め具２６ｃ、棒状軸２６ｄを有している。ばね２６ｂは、棒２５の縦方向の延長線上に、その伸縮方向を棒２５の縦方向に平行に設けられ、その自然長から縮んだ状態で、その一端がケース２６ａに固定されている。また、ばね２６ｂのケース２６ａに固定された側と反対の端部（以下上端部と記す）と、棒２５の先端との間には、板状の留め具２６ｃが挟まっている。また、この留め具は、ケース２６ａに固定された金属製の棒状軸２６ｄに、その棒状軸２６ｄの回りに回転自在に、固定されている。また、留め具２６ｃの、棒２５に接触する部分から見て棒状軸２６ｄの反対側にある部分は、ケース２６ａから突出し、かぎ爪状に曲がっている。   FIG. 5 shows an enlarged view of the lock mechanism 26 and its peripheral portion in the AA cross section. As shown in this figure, the lock mechanism 26 includes a case 26a, a spring 26b attached to the case 26a, a fastener 26c, and a rod-shaped shaft 26d. The spring 26b is provided on the extension line in the vertical direction of the rod 25 so that its expansion / contraction direction is parallel to the vertical direction of the rod 25, and one end of the spring 26b is fixed to the case 26a in a contracted state from its natural length. Further, a plate-like fastener 26 c is sandwiched between an end portion (hereinafter referred to as an upper end portion) opposite to the side fixed to the case 26 a of the spring 26 b and the tip end of the rod 25. The fastener is fixed to a metal rod-shaped shaft 26d fixed to the case 26a so as to be rotatable around the rod-shaped shaft 26d. Further, the portion of the fastener 26c that is on the opposite side of the rod-shaped shaft 26d when viewed from the portion that contacts the rod 25 protrudes from the case 26a and is bent in a claw shape.

図５のような閉状態で、操作スイッチ１２が押下されないような状態においては、留め具２６ｃは、ばね２６ｂとケース２６ａの後端部Ｘとに押されることで、図５のような位置に留まっている。そしてこのとき、突起部１１ａ中の一部窪んだ（または穴が開いた）部分１１ｂに、このかぎ爪状の部分の先端部２６ｅが嵌まるようになっている。このような状態では、窪み部１１ｂが先端部２６ｅに引っかかるので、エアコンパネル操作部１１が開くことがない。   When the operation switch 12 is not pressed in the closed state as shown in FIG. 5, the fastener 26c is pushed by the spring 26b and the rear end portion X of the case 26a, so that the position shown in FIG. Stays. At this time, the tip end portion 26e of the claw-like portion is fitted into a partially depressed (or perforated) portion 11b in the protruding portion 11a. In such a state, since the hollow portion 11b is caught by the tip end portion 26e, the air conditioner panel operation portion 11 does not open.

この状態において操作スイッチ１２が押されると、棒２５がロック機構２６の内部に深く押し込まれ、留め具２６ｃが棒状軸２６ｄを支点として図中時計回りに回転し、図６に示す様に、先端部２６ｅが、窪み部１１ｂから離れる方向に移動する。これによって、エアコンパネル操作部１１が移動可能となる。なお、操作スイッチ１２の押下が終了すると、留め具２６ｃがばね２６ｂに押されることで、先端部２６ｅは図５の位置に戻る。   When the operation switch 12 is pressed in this state, the rod 25 is pushed deeply into the lock mechanism 26, and the fastener 26c rotates clockwise with the rod-shaped shaft 26d as a fulcrum, as shown in FIG. The part 26e moves in a direction away from the hollow part 11b. Thereby, the air-conditioner panel operation part 11 becomes movable. When the pressing of the operation switch 12 is completed, the distal end portion 26e returns to the position shown in FIG. 5 by the fastener 26c being pushed by the spring 26b.

次に、図７に、図３のＢ−Ｂ断面を図３中右側から見た図を示す。この断面においては、エアコンパネル操作部１１は、その下端部に、本体部１０内に入り込むアーム部１１ｃを有している。また、この本体部１０の側壁の一点３１には、ばね３３の一端が固定され、このばね３３の他端はアーム部１１ｃの下端部３２に固定されている。このばね３３は、図７の状態において自然長より２倍以上長く伸びている。このようになっていることで、エアコンパネル操作部１１は、ばね３３から、ヒンジ部１３、１４と同一線上に並ぶ部分１１ｄを支点とし図７中反時計回りに回転する力を受ける。   Next, FIG. 7 shows a view of the BB cross section of FIG. 3 as viewed from the right side in FIG. In this cross section, the air-conditioner panel operation part 11 has an arm part 11c that enters the main body part 10 at its lower end. One end 31 of the spring 33 is fixed to one point 31 on the side wall of the main body 10, and the other end of the spring 33 is fixed to the lower end 32 of the arm portion 11 c. The spring 33 extends at least twice as long as the natural length in the state of FIG. In this manner, the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 receives a force from the spring 33 that rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 7 with a portion 11d aligned with the hinges 13 and 14 as a fulcrum.

したがって、操作スイッチ１２が押下されてエアコンパネル操作部１１とロック機構２６によって保持されなくなると、エアコンパネル操作部１１は、ばね３３の力によって開き、図８に示すような状態、すなわち開状態となるまで移動する。なお、このようなアーム部１１ｃおよびばね３３は、ヒンジ部１４の近くのみならず、ヒンジ部１３の近くにも設けられている。   Therefore, when the operation switch 12 is pressed and is no longer held by the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 and the lock mechanism 26, the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 is opened by the force of the spring 33, and is in the state shown in FIG. Move until Such an arm portion 11 c and the spring 33 are provided not only near the hinge portion 14 but also near the hinge portion 13.

また、ヒンジ部１３および１４は、ダンパとして機能する。図９に、ヒンジ部１４の内部構造を示す。ヒンジ部１４は、樹脂製の軸１４ａ、ばね１４ｂ、および軸１４ａとコイルばね１４ｂとを囲むケース１４ｃを有している。コイルばね１４ｂの一端は軸１４ａに固定され、他端はケース１４ｃに固定されている。また、ケース１４ｃは、本体部１０と一体に設けられている。また軸１４ａは、ケース１４ｃの外部に突出する突起部１４ｄを有しており、この突起部１４ｄは、エアコンパネル操作部１１にかしめ結合されている。したがって、エアコンパネル操作部１１がこのヒンジ部１４を支点として開閉するに伴って、軸１４ａも回転する。すると、この軸１４ａの回転に伴って、コイルばね１４ｂが捻れる。   Moreover, the hinge parts 13 and 14 function as a damper. FIG. 9 shows the internal structure of the hinge portion 14. The hinge portion 14 has a resin shaft 14a, a spring 14b, and a case 14c surrounding the shaft 14a and the coil spring 14b. One end of the coil spring 14b is fixed to the shaft 14a, and the other end is fixed to the case 14c. The case 14 c is provided integrally with the main body 10. The shaft 14a has a protrusion 14d that protrudes to the outside of the case 14c, and the protrusion 14d is caulked to the air conditioner panel operation section 11. Therefore, as the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 opens and closes with the hinge portion 14 as a fulcrum, the shaft 14a also rotates. Then, the coil spring 14b is twisted with the rotation of the shaft 14a.

なお、コイルばね１４ｂは、エアコンパネル操作部１１が閉状態にあるときにねじれがないようになっているので、エアコンパネル操作部１１が開く方向に移動すると、その移動量にほぼ比例した強さで、エアコンパネル操作部１１を閉状態に戻す方向の力を、軸１４ａを介してエアコンパネル操作部１１に及ぼす。なお、ヒンジ部１３もヒンジ部１４と同等の構造を有する。このようなヒンジ部１３およびヒンジ部１４のダンパ構造により、エアコンパネル操作部１１は操作スイッチ１２が押されるとゆっくり開くようになる。   The coil spring 14b is not twisted when the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 is in the closed state. Therefore, when the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 moves in the opening direction, the coil spring 14b has a strength substantially proportional to the amount of movement. Thus, a force in a direction to return the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 to the closed state is applied to the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 via the shaft 14a. The hinge portion 13 has a structure equivalent to the hinge portion 14. Due to such a damper structure of the hinge part 13 and the hinge part 14, the air conditioner panel operation part 11 opens slowly when the operation switch 12 is pressed.

以上示したように、車載用操作装置１が、操作スイッチ１２と、エアコンパネル操作部１１と、ＥＴＣ車載器１８と、ＥＴＣ車載器１８用の空間および小物入れ用の一方が開いた空間を囲む壁１５、１６、１９、２０、２１、２３、２４を有し、ヒンジ部１３、ヒンジ部１４、ロック機構２６、およびばね３３の有する機構により、操作スイッチ１２の押下に基づいて、エアコンパネル操作部１１が閉状態から開状態にゆっくり開くようになる。   As described above, the on-vehicle operation device 1 surrounds the operation switch 12, the air-conditioner panel operation unit 11, the ETC on-vehicle device 18, the space for the ETC on-vehicle device 18, and the space where one of the accessory cases is opened. The air conditioner panel is operated based on the depression of the operation switch 12 by the mechanism having the walls 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24 and having the hinge part 13, the hinge part 14, the lock mechanism 26, and the spring 33. The part 11 opens slowly from the closed state to the open state.

このように、エアコンパネル操作部１１、ＥＴＣ車載器１８、および小物入れが、インストゥルメントパネル２前面のスペースを共有することがでるので、車載装置の配置におけるスペース取りの困難を軽減することができる。そして、ドライバがＥＴＣ車載器１８の操作または小物入れの利用を望む場合は、操作スイッチ１２を操作すれば、エアコンパネル１２が開き、ＥＴＣ車載器１８および小物入れにドライバの手が届くようになる。また、ドライバがエアコンパネル操作部１１を持って閉状態の位置まで戻すことにより、先端部２６ｅと窪み部１１ｂとが再び引っかかり、エアコンパネル操作部１１が閉状態の位置で保持される。   Thus, since the air-conditioner panel operation unit 11, the ETC vehicle-mounted device 18, and the accessory case can share the space on the front surface of the instrument panel 2, it is possible to reduce the difficulty of taking up space in the arrangement of the vehicle-mounted device. it can. When the driver wants to operate the ETC on-vehicle device 18 or use the accessory case, if the operation switch 12 is operated, the air conditioner panel 12 is opened, and the driver's hand can reach the ETC on-vehicle device 18 and the accessory case. . In addition, when the driver holds the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 and returns it to the closed position, the tip end portion 26e and the recess 11b are caught again, and the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 is held in the closed position.

（他の実施形態）
なお、上記の実施形態において、エアコンパネル操作部１１はヒンジ部１３およびヒンジ部１４を支点として開閉するようになっているが、必ずしもこのようになっておらずともよく、例えば操作スイッチ１２の操作によって電磁的駆動力等によってスライドするようになっていてもよい。すなわち、エアコンパネル操作部１１の移動によって、ＥＴＣ車載器１８および小物入れ用の空間の開いた側を背後に隠すと共にそのエアコンパネル操作部１１の表示操作面が前方に向いた第１の状態から、ＥＴＣ車載器１８および小物入れ用の空間の開いた側に、前方から手が届くようになる第２の状態へ、変化すれば足りる。 (Other embodiments)
In the above embodiment, the air conditioner panel operation unit 11 opens and closes with the hinge portion 13 and the hinge portion 14 as fulcrums.
