特許第３４８６０７０号公報Japanese Patent No. 3486070

ところが、上記特許文献１で開示されたものでは、ガイド腕部の当接面が、前記ハンドルの操作に伴う前記当接面の移動方向に直交する平面状に形成されているので、作動初期に必要とされるトルクが比較的大きいものであるのに対して、ハンドルの操作に応じて前記ガイド腕部の当接面から前記レバーに作用する回転分力が大きくはなく、しかもレバーの回動範囲を大きくするためにレバーの回動支点を前記ガイド腕部に近い位置に設定したときにはレバー比が小さくなるので、開閉扉を開放する側へのハンドルの操作初期には荷重が重いと感じることがある。 However, in the one disclosed in Patent Document 1, the contact surface of the guide arm portion is formed in a planar shape perpendicular to the moving direction of the contact surface in accordance with the operation of the handle. While the required torque is relatively large, the rotational component force acting on the lever from the contact surface of the guide arm portion in response to the operation of the handle is not large, and the lever rotates When the lever pivot is set to a position close to the guide arm to increase the range, the lever ratio will be small, so you will feel that the load is heavy at the beginning of the operation of the handle to the side that opens the door There is.

本発明は、かかる事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、少なくともハンドルの操作初期には小さな操作力で大きな回転トルクをレバーに付与し得るようにした車両用開閉扉の開閉操作装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides an opening / closing operation device for a vehicle opening / closing door that can apply a large rotational torque to a lever with a small operation force at least in the initial operation of a handle. With the goal.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明は、開閉扉に、回動操作によって前記開閉扉を開閉するためのハンドルと、前記開閉扉の閉鎖鎖錠状態を保持し得るようにして前記開閉扉に設けられるラッチ機構に解錠操作力を伝達するためのレバーとが回動可能に支承され、前記ハンドルの回動支点からずれた位置で該ハンドルに形成される当接面に、前記ハンドルの回動操作に応じて前記レバーが回動作動するようにして前記レバーの一端部が当接される車両用開閉扉の開閉操作装置において、前記当接面のうち少なくとも前記開閉扉の開放側への前記ハンドルの操作初期に前記レバーの一端部に当接する部分が、前記ハンドルの回動に伴う前記当接面の移動方向と直交する平面に沿う方向で前記レバーの回動支点に近づくにつれて前記移動方向の前方位置となるようにしつつ前記平面と交差するように傾斜もしくは湾曲して形成されることを第１の特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an opening / closing door with a handle for opening / closing the opening / closing door by a turning operation, and the opening / closing door so as to be able to maintain a closed locked state of the opening / closing door. A lever for transmitting the unlocking operation force to the provided latch mechanism is rotatably supported, and the handle is rotated on a contact surface formed on the handle at a position deviated from the rotation fulcrum of the handle. In an opening / closing operation device for a vehicle opening / closing door in which one end of the lever is brought into contact so that the lever is rotated according to a moving operation, at least the opening of the contact surface toward the opening side of the opening / closing door The portion of the lever that comes into contact with one end of the handle at the initial stage of operation of the handle moves as it approaches the pivot point of the lever in a direction along a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the contact surface as the handle rotates. Before direction While such a position that the first being formed by inclined or curved so as to intersect with the plane.

また本発明は、第１の特徴の構成に加えて、前記当接面が、前記当接面の移動方向と直交する平面に沿う方向で前記レバーの回動支点に近づくにつれて前記移動方向の前方位置となるようにしつつ前記平面と交差するように傾斜もしくは湾曲して形成されて前記ハンドルの操作初期に前記レバーの一端部に当接する初期当接部と、前記平面に沿うように形成されて前記ハンドルの操作後期に前記レバーの一端部に当接するようにして前記初期当接部に連なる後期当接部とから成ることを第２の特徴とする。 According to the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first feature, as the contact surface approaches the pivot fulcrum of the lever in a direction along a plane perpendicular to the movement direction of the contact surface, the front of the movement direction is increased. An initial abutting portion that is inclined or curved so as to intersect with the plane while being positioned and abuts against one end of the lever at the initial stage of operation of the handle, and is formed along the plane. A second feature is that it comprises a late contact portion connected to the initial contact portion so as to contact the one end portion of the lever at a later stage of operation of the handle.

なお実施の形態の乗降用ドア２１が本発明の開閉扉に対応する。 In addition, the door 21 for boarding / alighting corresponds to the opening / closing door of the present invention.

本発明の第１の特徴によれば、少なくとも開閉扉の開放側へのハンドルの操作初期には、当接面の移動方向と直交する平面に沿う方向でレバーの回動支点に近づくにつれて前記移動方向の前方位置となるようにして傾斜もしくは湾曲した部分にレバーの一端部が当接しているので、当接面の移動方向と直交する平面状の当接面にレバーの一端部が当接しているのに比べて当接面からレバーに作用する回転分力を大きくすることが可能であり、レバーおよび当接面間で生じる摩擦抵抗力も比較的小さくなり、小さな操作力でレバーに大きな回転トルクを付与することが可能となる。而して初期作動時のハンドルの操作荷重を軽くすることによってハンドルを操作したときの引っかかり感を無くし、ハンドルの操作フィーリングを高めることができる。 According to the first feature of the present invention, at least in the initial stage of the operation of the handle to the opening side of the door, the movement as the lever fulcrum approaches in the direction along the plane perpendicular to the movement direction of the contact surface. Since one end of the lever is in contact with the inclined or curved portion so as to be the front position in the direction, one end of the lever is in contact with the flat contact surface perpendicular to the moving direction of the contact surface. Compared to this, it is possible to increase the rotational force acting on the lever from the contact surface, and the frictional resistance generated between the lever and the contact surface is relatively small. Can be given. Thus, by reducing the operation load of the handle at the time of initial operation, it is possible to eliminate the feeling of being caught when the handle is operated, and to enhance the operation feeling of the handle.

また本発明の第２の特徴によれば、ハンドルの初期操作後には、レバーの当接面への当接箇所の変位によってレバー比が大きくなり、初期操作時よりも大きな回転トルクをレバーに付与することが可能であり、当接面のうち当接面の移動方向と直交する平面に沿う後期当接部にレバーの一端部を当接させることでハンドルの操作力の変化を少なくし、滑らかな作動フィーリングを得ることができる。 Further, according to the second feature of the present invention, after the initial operation of the handle, the lever ratio increases due to the displacement of the contact portion with the contact surface of the lever, and a larger rotational torque is applied to the lever than during the initial operation. It is possible to reduce the change in the operating force of the handle by bringing one end of the lever into contact with the latter contact portion along the plane perpendicular to the moving direction of the contact surface. A good working feeling.

The plane 46 intersects the plane PL while being positioned forward of the moving direction 52 as it approaches the pivot fulcrum of the lever 46, that is, the support shaft 45 in a direction along the plane PL perpendicular to the moving direction 52 of the contact surface 47. Inclined or curved.

而して前記当接面４７は、前記ハンドル２３の操作初期に前記レバー４６の一端部のレバーカバー４８に当接する初期当接部４７ａと、前記ハンドル２３の操作後期に前記レバー４６の一端部のレバーカバー４８に当接するようにして前記初期当接部４７ａに連なる後期当接部４７ｂとから成り、初期当接部４７ａは、前記当接面４７の移動方向５２と直交する平面ＰＬに沿う方向で前記レバー４６の回動支点に近づくにつれて前記移動方向５２の前方位置となるようにしつつ前記平面ＰＬと交差するように湾曲して形成され、前記後期当接部４７ｂは前記平面ＰＬに沿うように形成される。 Thus, the contact surface 47 includes an initial contact portion 47 a that contacts the lever cover 48 at one end portion of the lever 46 at the initial stage of operation of the handle 23, and one end portion of the lever 46 at the later stage of operation of the handle 23. The latter contact portion 47b is connected to the initial contact portion 47a so as to contact the lever cover 48, and the initial contact portion 47a extends along a plane PL orthogonal to the moving direction 52 of the contact surface 47. As it approaches the pivot point of the lever 46 in the direction, it is curved so as to intersect with the plane PL while being positioned forward of the moving direction 52, and the late contact portion 47b extends along the plane PL. Formed as follows.

前記当接面４７の初期当接部４７ａにレバーカバー４８を当接させた状態にあるレバー４６には、ハンドル２３の回動操作によって当接面４７の移動方向５２に沿う力Ｆが当接面４７から作用するのであるが、初期当接部４７ａが、当接面４７の移動方向５２と直交する平面ＰＬに沿う方向で前記レバー４６の回動支点に近づくにつれて前記移動方向５２の前方位置となるようにしつつ前記平面ＰＬと交差するように湾曲して形成されるものであるので、レバー４６を回動させる方向の分力Ｒが生じることになり、その分力Ｒによって前記レバー４６に作用する回転力Ｍ１は、当接面４７がその移動方向５２と直交する平面状のものであるときにレバー４６に作用する回転力Ｍ２よりも大きくなる。 The lever 46 in a state where the lever cover 48 is in contact with the initial contact portion 47 a of the contact surface 47 receives a force F along the moving direction 52 of the contact surface 47 by the turning operation of the handle 23. Although acting from the surface 47, as the initial contact portion 47a approaches the rotation fulcrum of the lever 46 in the direction along the plane PL orthogonal to the movement direction 52 of the contact surface 47, the forward position of the movement direction 52 is increased. Therefore, a component force R in the direction of rotating the lever 46 is generated, and the lever R causes the lever 46 to rotate. The rotational force M1 that acts is greater than the rotational force M2 that acts on the lever 46 when the abutment surface 47 has a planar shape perpendicular to the moving direction 52 thereof.

前記レバー４６におけるレバー主部４６ａの他端部にはジョイント部材４９が装着されており、このジョイント部材４９には、乗降用ドア２１に設けられたラッチ機構５３（図２参照）に開扉操作力を伝達するロッド（図示せず）の一端部が連結される。 A joint member 49 is attached to the other end of the lever main portion 46a of the lever 46.

前記シリンダ錠３８が解錠状態に在るときに、ハンドル２３を操作しない場合にはレバー４６は図３で示す非作動位置に在り、このとき前記ラッチ機構５３で乗降用ドア２１の閉状態が保持される。またハンドル２３を操作して第２ベース部材２５Ａの受け入れ凹部３５からハンドル２３の他端部が離れることに伴なうガイド腕部２３ｃの作動により、レバー４６が図３の位置から時計方向に回動したときに、前記ラッチ機構５３は、乗降用ドア２１の閉状態を解除することになり、ハンドル２３の操作により乗降用ドア２１を開放することが可能となる。 When the handle 23 is not operated when the cylinder lock 38 is in the unlocked state, the lever 46 is in the inoperative position shown in FIG. Retained. Further, the lever 46 is rotated clockwise from the position shown in FIG. 3 by the operation of the guide arm 23c when the handle 23 is operated to move the other end of the handle 23 away from the receiving recess 35 of the second base member 25A. When moved, the latch mechanism 53 releases the closed state of the entry / exit door 21, and the entry / exit door 21 can be opened by operating the handle 23.

前記レバー４６とレバー支持部４４との間には、前記レバー４６の支持筒部４６ｂを囲繞するねじりばねである戻しばね５４が設けられており、この戻しばね５４のばね力により、当接面４７にレバーカバー４８を当接させたレバー４６は非作動位置側に付勢されており、ハンドル２３が戻しばね５４で開位置側にばね付勢されることになる。 Between the lever 46 and the lever support portion 44, a return spring 54, which is a torsion spring surrounding the support tube portion 46b of the lever 46, is provided. The lever 46 in which the lever cover 48 is brought into contact with 47 is biased to the non-actuated position side, and the handle 23 is spring biased to the open position side by the return spring 54.

Thus, an assembly guide portion 59 for guiding the pressing between the side walls 57 and 58 is provided.

また前記両側壁５７，５８間で第２ベース部材２５Ａには、たとえば両側壁５７，５８間で相互間に間隔をあけて配置される３つのストッパ６１，６２，６３が設けられるものであり、前記両側壁５７，５８間に押し込まれた前記レバー４６がそれらのストッパ６１〜６３に当接して押し込み移動が規制されたときに、前記レバー４６が、その軸孔５０を前記両側壁５７，５８の前記支持孔５５，５６に対応させた位置となる。而して３つのストッパ６１〜６３のうち１つのストッパ６１は、前記レバー４６におけるレバー主部４６ａに当接するように円弧状に突出して形成され、残余の２つのストッパ６２，６３は、前記戻しばね５４のうち前記レバー４６の支持筒部４６ｂを囲繞する部分に当接するように円弧状に突出して形成される。 The second base member 25A between the side walls 57 and 58 is provided with, for example, three stoppers 61, 62, and 63 that are spaced from each other between the side walls 57 and 58. When the lever 46 pushed between the side walls 57 and 58 abuts against the stoppers 61 to 63 and the pushing movement is restricted, the lever 46 pushes the shaft hole 50 into the side walls 57 and 58. The positions correspond to the support holes 55 and 56. Thus, of the three stoppers 61 to 63, one stopper 61 is formed to project in an arc shape so as to contact the lever main portion 46a of the lever 46, and the remaining two stoppers 62 and 63 are the return stoppers. The spring 54 is formed so as to protrude in an arc shape so as to contact a portion surrounding the support cylinder portion 46 b of the lever 46.

前記支軸４５は、前記レバー４６の押し込みがストッパ６１〜６３で規制された状態で、両側壁５７，５８のうちシリンダ錠３８に連設されるようにして第２ベース部材２５Ａに設けられる筒部２５ｄ寄りにある一方の側壁５７から当該側壁５７の支持孔５５、前記レバー４６の軸孔５０および他方の側壁５８の支持孔５６に順次挿入せしめられるものであり、該支軸４５の一端部には、周方向に分離した複数個たとえば３個の係合片４５ａ…が一体に設けられる。而して前記軸孔５０および両支持孔５５，５６に支軸４５が挿通される際には挿通操作を容易とするために前記係合片４５ａ…は縮径することが可能であるが他方の側壁５８から突出した状態では拡径して他方の側壁５８の外側面に係合することになる。また前記支軸４５の他端には、一方の前記側壁５７の外側面に係合する係合鍔部４５ｂが半径方向外方に張り出すようにして一体に設けられる。 The support shaft 45 is a cylinder provided on the second base member 25A so as to be connected to the cylinder lock 38 of both side walls 57 and 58 in a state where the pushing of the lever 46 is restricted by the stoppers 61 to 63.

しかも係合溝７１に係合突部６８ｅを係合させた状態で、第２ベース部材２５Ａに対する取付け部材６８の上下方向相対位置は規制されるものであり、その上下方向相対位置を規制するために、第２ベース部材２５Ａおよび前記取付け部材６８の一方に、水平方向一方に開放した位置規制凹部７４が設けられ、前記取付け部材６８の前記係合溝７１への係合時に前記位置規制凹部７４に係合して第２ベース部材２５Ａに対する前記取付け部材６８の上下方向の位置を規制する位置規制突部７５が、第２ベース部材２５Ａおよび前記取付け部材６８の他方に設けられる。 In addition, in the state where the engaging protrusion 68e is engaged with the engaging groove 71, the vertical relative position of the mounting member 68 with respect to the second base member 25A is restricted, and the vertical relative position is restricted. Further, one of the second base member 25A and the attachment member 68 is provided with a position restriction recess 74 that is open in one horizontal direction. When the attachment member 68 is engaged with the engagement groove 71, the position restriction recess 74 is provided. A position restricting protrusion 75 is provided on the other of the second base member 25 A and the attachment member 68 to engage with the second base member 25 A to restrict the vertical position of the attachment member 68 with respect to the second base member 25 A.

この実施の形態では、取付け部材６８の平面部６８ａにおいて第２ベース部材２５Ａのガイド部２５ｂ側の側面に前記位置規制凹部７４が設けられ、第２ベース部材２５Ａのガイド部２５ｂに前記位置規制突部７５が設けられる。しかも位置規制凹部７４の上方で前記平面部６８ａの前記ガイド部２５ｂに臨む側面には、係合溝７１に係合突部６８ｅを係合させるようにして取付け部材６８をスライドさせる際に、前記位置規制突部７５の先端を摺接させて該規制突部７５を位置規制凹部７４側に案内する傾斜面７６が形成される。 In this embodiment, the position restricting recess 74 is provided on the side surface of the second base member 25A on the guide portion 25b side in the flat surface portion 68a of the mounting member 68, and the position restricting protrusion is formed on the guide portion 25b of the second base member 25A. A portion 75 is provided. In addition, when the mounting member 68 is slid on the side surface of the flat surface portion 68a that faces the guide portion 25b above the position restricting concave portion 74 so that the engaging protrusion 68e is engaged with the engaging groove 71, An inclined surface 76 is formed that slides the tip of the position restricting protrusion 75 to guide the restricting protrusion 75 toward the position restricting recess 74.

また第２シール部材３４の下部の裏面には、前記前記係合溝７１に係合突部６８ｅを係合する側への前記取付け部材６８のスライド方向の移動を規制するための規制突部７７が突設されており、前記延出腕部６８ｆの先端部には、その規制突部７７を係合させる規制溝７８が設けられる。 Further, a regulating projection 77 for regulating the movement of the mounting member 68 in the sliding direction toward the side where the engagement projection 68e is engaged with the engagement groove 71 is provided on the back surface of the lower portion of the second seal member 34. And a restricting groove 78 for engaging the restricting protrusion 77 is provided at the tip of the extending arm portion 68f.

而してベース部材主部２５ａとの間に第２シール部材３４およびアウターパネル２２を挟んだ状態の前記係合突部６８ｅを前記係合溝７１に係合させるべく前記取付け部材６８をスライドさせることによって、前記延出腕部６８ｆの前端部が前記規制突部７７を乗り越え、該規制突部７７が規制溝７８に収納、係合されることになり、その際、カチッと嵌まり込む感覚が得られるので、取付け部材６８のスライドが完了したか否かを感覚的に知ることができる。しかも弾性材から成る第２シール部材３４に前記規制突部７７が設けられるので、規制突部７７自体が撓み易くなり、規制突部７７を大きくして規制力を大きくしたり、取付け部材６８のスライドが完了したか否かの感覚を感じ易くすることができる。 Thus, the attachment member 68 is slid so that the engagement protrusion 68e with the second seal member 34 and the outer panel 22 sandwiched between the base member main portion 25a and the engagement groove 71 is engaged. As a result, the front end portion of the extending arm portion 68f gets over the restricting protrusion 77, and the restricting protrusion 77 is received and engaged in the restricting groove 78. Therefore, it is possible to know sensuously whether or not the slide of the mounting member 68 has been completed. In addition, since the restriction protrusion 77 is provided on the second seal member 34 made of an elastic material, the restriction protrusion 77 itself is easily bent, and the restriction protrusion 77 is enlarged to increase the restriction force. A feeling of whether or not the slide has been completed can be easily felt.

前記取付け部材６８のシリンダ錠取付け部６８ｂに挿入されるようにして該シリンダ錠取付け部６８ｂに取付けられるシリンダ錠３８のロータ７９には、伝動軸８０の一端部が相対回転不能に取付けられており、この伝動軸８０の他端部は、シリンダ錠８０の操作による施・解錠操作力を伝達するようにして、図２で示すように前記ラッチ機構５３に連結される。 One end portion of the transmission shaft 80 is attached to the rotor 79 of the cylinder lock 38 so as to be inserted into the cylinder lock attachment portion 68b of the attachment member 68 so as not to be relatively rotatable. The other end portion of the transmission shaft 80 is connected to the latch mechanism 53 as shown in FIG. 2 so as to transmit the applying / unlocking operation force due to the operation of the cylinder lock 80.

次にこの第１の実施の形態の作用について説明すると、乗降用ドア２１に、回動操作によって該乗降用ドア２１を開閉するためのハンドル２３と、乗降用ドア２１に設けられるラッチ機構５３に解錠操作力を伝達するためのレバー４６とが回動可能に支承され、ハンドル２３の回動支点からずれた位置で該ハンドル２３に形成される当接面４７に、ハンドル２３の回動操作に応じて前記レバー４６が回動作動するようにして前記レバー４６の一端部が当接されるのであるが、当接面４７のうち少なくとも前記乗降用ドア２１の開放側への前記ハンドル２３の操作初期に前記レバー４６の一端部のレバーカバー４８に当接する部分が、ハンドル２３の回動に伴う前記当接面４７の移動方向５２と直交する平面ＰＬに沿う方向で前記レバー４６の回動支点に近づくにつれて前記移動方向５２の前方位置となるようにしつつ前記平面ＰＬと交差するように傾斜もしくは湾曲して形成される。 Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. The entrance door 21 is provided with a handle 23 for opening and closing the entrance door 21 by a turning operation, and a latch mechanism 53 provided on the entrance door 21. The lever 46 for transmitting the unlocking operation force is rotatably supported, and the handle 23 is rotated on the contact surface 47 formed on the handle 23 at a position shifted from the rotation fulcrum of the handle 23. Accordingly, the lever 46 is pivotally operated so that one end of the lever 46 is brought into contact with the lever 46. The part of the lever 46 that contacts one end of the lever cover 48 at the initial stage of operation of the lever 46 is in a direction along a plane PL that is orthogonal to the moving direction 52 of the contact surface 47 as the handle 23 rotates. Inclined or curved to be formed so as to intersect with the plane PL with so as to be forward position of the moving direction 52 toward the moving fulcrum.

したがって当接面４７の移動方向５２と直交する平面状の当接面にレバー４６の一端部が当接しているのに比べて当接面４７からレバー４６に作用する回転分力Ｒを大きくすることが可能であり、レバー４６および当接面４７間で生じる摩擦抵抗力も比較的小さくなり、小さな操作力でレバー４６に大きな回転トルクを付与することが可能となる。而して初期作動時のハンドル２３の操作荷重を軽くすることによってハンドル２３を操作したときの引っかかり感を無くし、ハンドル２３の操作フィーリングを高めることができる。 Therefore, the rotational component force R acting on the lever 46 from the contact surface 47 is increased as compared with the case where one end of the lever 46 is in contact with the flat contact surface orthogonal to the moving direction 52 of the contact surface 47. The frictional resistance generated between the lever 46 and the contact surface 47 is also relatively small, and a large rotational torque can be applied to the lever 46 with a small operating force. Thus, by reducing the operation load of the handle 23 during the initial operation, it is possible to eliminate the feeling of being caught when the handle 23 is operated, and to enhance the operation feeling of the handle 23.

また当接面４７が、当接面４７の移動方向５２と直交する平面ＰＬに沿う方向で前記レバー４６の回動支点に近づくにつれて前記移動方向５２の前方位置となるようにしつつ前記平面ＰＬと交差するように傾斜もしくは湾曲して形成されて前記ハンドル２３の操作初期に前記レバー４６の一端部に当接する初期当接部４７ａと、前記平面に沿うように形成されて前記ハンドル２３の操作後期に前記レバー４６の一端部に当接するようにして前記初期当接部４７ａに連なる後期当接部４７ｂとから成るので、ハンドル２３の初期操作後には、レバー４６の当接面４７への当接箇所の変位によってレバー比が大きくなり、初期操作時よりも大きな回転トルクをレバー４６に付与することが可能であり、当接面４７のうち当接面４７の移動方向５２と直交する平面ＰＬに沿う後期当接部４７ｂにレバー４６の一端部を当接させることでハンドル２３の操作力の変化を少なくし、滑らかな作動フィーリングを得ることができる。 Further, the abutment surface 47 is positioned in front of the moving direction 52 as it approaches the pivot point of the lever 46 in a direction along the plane PL perpendicular to the moving direction 52 of the abutting surface 47. An initial abutment portion 47a that is inclined or curved so as to intersect and abuts on one end of the lever 46 at the initial stage of operation of the handle 23, and is formed so as to be along the plane and later in the operation of the handle 23 And the latter contact portion 47b connected to the initial contact portion 47a so as to contact one end portion of the lever 46, so that the lever 46 contacts the contact surface 47 after the initial operation of the handle 23. The lever ratio is increased by the displacement of the location, and it is possible to apply a larger rotational torque to the lever 46 than in the initial operation, and the moving direction 52 of the contact surface 47 of the contact surface 47. One end of the lever 46 in the late contact portion 47b along a plane PL orthogonal to reduce the change in the operation force of the handle 23 by causing contact, it is possible to obtain a smooth operation feeling.
