Description

本発明は、車体に固定されて変速操作可能な車両用変速操作装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a vehicle speed change operation device that is fixed to a vehicle body and capable of speed change operation.

車両用変速操作装置は、一般に、運転者が把持して操作し得るシフトレバー（セレクトレバー）を有しており、該シフトレバーを操作することにより車両の変速操作が可能とされている。かかる車両用変速操作装置は、車体に固定され得るブラケットと、シフトレバーを回動自在に挿通させるカバー部材とから主に構成されており、ブラケット上にカバー部材を組み付けて構成されていた。   BACKGROUND ART A vehicle shift operation device generally has a shift lever (select lever) that can be gripped and operated by a driver. By operating the shift lever, a vehicle shift operation can be performed. Such a vehicle speed change operation device is mainly composed of a bracket that can be fixed to the vehicle body and a cover member through which the shift lever is rotatably inserted, and is constructed by assembling the cover member on the bracket.

然るに、従来、強度維持の観点からブラケットを金属製のものとし、成形性の観点からカバー部材を樹脂製のものとした車両用変速操作装置が多く提供されている。かかる従来の車両用変速操作装置においては、金属製のブラケットに対して樹脂製のカバー部材をネジ止めにて固定させ、両者を組み付け得るようになっていた。尚、かかる先行技術は、文献公知発明に係るものでないため、記載すべき先行技術文献情報はない。   However, conventionally, many vehicle speed change operation devices have been provided in which the bracket is made of metal from the viewpoint of maintaining strength and the cover member is made of resin from the viewpoint of formability. In such a conventional vehicle speed change operation device, a resin cover member is fixed to a metal bracket by screwing, and both can be assembled. In addition, since this prior art does not relate to the literature known invention, there is no prior art document information to be described.

しかしながら、上記従来の車両用変速操作装置においては、金属製のブラケットに樹脂製のカバー部材をネジ止めにて固定させていたため、以下の如き問題があった。即ち、一般に樹脂成形品は、型のプロフィル面に沿って寸法通りに成形され得る一方、プレス加工や折り曲げ加工が施される金属製部品は、寸法誤差が樹脂成形品に比べ比較的大きくなってしまう。   However, the conventional vehicle speed change operation device has the following problems because the resin cover member is fixed to the metal bracket by screws. That is, in general, a resin molded product can be molded according to dimensions along the profile surface of the mold, while a metal part subjected to press working or bending processing has a relatively large dimensional error compared to the resin molded product. End up.

このため、寸法誤差が比較的大きな金属製のブラケットに樹脂製のブラケットを組み付けようとした場合、両者の組み付け部位の寸法誤差が大きくなってしまい、ネジ止めして組み付けないと、ガタが生じてしまう虞があった。このようなガタが生じてしまうと、特に車両の振動によるびびり音が発生してしまうという不具合があった。然るに、ネジ止めするには、上記した比較的大きな寸法誤差により、ネジ孔の正確な位置を保証できないとともに、ネジの螺合作業が必要となり、作業性が悪化してしまうという不具合がある。   For this reason, when trying to assemble a resin bracket to a metal bracket with a relatively large dimensional error, the dimensional error of both assembly parts will be large, and if it is not assembled with screws, it will be loose. There was a risk of it. When such backlash occurs, there is a problem that chatter noise particularly occurs due to vibration of the vehicle. However, in order to fix the screw, there is a problem that due to the relatively large dimensional error described above, the exact position of the screw hole cannot be guaranteed and screwing work of the screw is required, so that workability is deteriorated.

一方、ブラケット及びカバー部材の両方を樹脂製のものとすれば、組み付け部位の寸法誤差を小さくすることができるため、組み付け作業を良好に行わせることができ、ネジ止めに代えて、例えばカバー部材に爪部を設け、ブラケットに形成した孔や切欠に当該爪部を係止させて組み付けることができる。爪部を孔や切欠に係止させるものにおいては、ワンタッチにて組み付けが行えて、作業性を良好とすることができる。しかしながら、金属製のブラケットを用いた場合においては、上記した比較的大きな寸法誤差により、孔又は切欠に対する爪部の正確な位置を保証できず、組み付けが困難となる虞があった。   On the other hand, if both the bracket and the cover member are made of resin, the dimensional error of the assembling part can be reduced, so that the assembling work can be performed satisfactorily. A claw portion can be provided on the bracket, and the claw portion can be locked and assembled in a hole or notch formed in the bracket. In the case where the claw portion is locked to the hole or the notch, the claw portion can be assembled with one touch, and workability can be improved. However, in the case where a metal bracket is used, there is a possibility that the accurate position of the claw portion with respect to the hole or the notch cannot be guaranteed due to the relatively large dimensional error described above, which makes it difficult to assemble.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、金属製のブラケットに樹脂製のカバー部材を組み付けるものであっても、両者の組み付け部に生じた寸法誤差を吸収し、ガタを抑制することができるとともに、組み付け時の作業性を良好とし得る車両用変速操作装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and even when a resin cover member is assembled to a metal bracket, it absorbs a dimensional error occurring in the assembly portion of both and suppresses backlash. Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular speed change operation device that can improve the workability during assembly.

以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照しながら具体的に説明する。
本実施形態に係る車両用変速操作装置は、自動車等の車体に取り付けられて変速操作を行わせるためのもので、図１及び図２に示すように、車体に固定され得る金属製のブラケット１と、該ブラケット１上に取り付けられ、図示しないシフトレバーを回動可能に挿通させる挿通孔２ａを有した樹脂製のカバー部材２とから主に構成されている。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
A vehicle speed change operation device according to the present embodiment is for attaching a vehicle to a vehicle body such as an automobile to perform a speed change operation, and as shown in FIGS. And a cover member 2 made of resin having a through hole 2a that is mounted on the bracket 1 and allows a shift lever (not shown) to be rotatably inserted.

ブラケット１は、金属板をプレス加工又は折り曲げ加工して、同図の如き所定形状とされたものから成り、その下部には車体との間で取付ボルト（不図示）を挿通させ得る取付部１ａが形成されている。かかるブラケット１には、図２に示すように、該ブラケット１から一体的に延設され、カバー部材２と前側で係合し得る前側被係合部５及び後側で係合し得る後側被係合部６がそれぞれ突出形成されている。   The bracket 1 is formed by pressing or bending a metal plate to have a predetermined shape as shown in the figure, and a mounting portion 1a through which a mounting bolt (not shown) can be inserted between the bracket 1 and the vehicle body. Is formed. As shown in FIG. 2, the bracket 1 has a front engaged portion 5 that extends integrally from the bracket 1 and can be engaged with the cover member 2 on the front side, and a rear side that can be engaged on the rear side. The engaged portions 6 are formed to protrude.

カバー部材２は、樹脂成形品から成り、図２に示すように、その上部に介装板材４及び化粧パネル３が取り付けられるよう構成されている。かかる化粧パネル３は、車両用変速操作装置の上面側を覆って、不図示のシフトレバーの操作位置等を示す表示がなされているとともに、カバー部材２の挿通孔２ａと対応した挿通孔３ａ、及びカバー部材２を係止する複数の係止孔３ｂが形成されたものである。   The cover member 2 is made of a resin molded product, and is configured such that the interposed plate material 4 and the decorative panel 3 are attached to the upper portion thereof as shown in FIG. The decorative panel 3 covers the upper surface side of the vehicle speed change operation device, has an indication of an operation position of a shift lever (not shown), and the like, and has an insertion hole 3a corresponding to the insertion hole 2a of the cover member 2, A plurality of locking holes 3b for locking the cover member 2 are formed.

また、介装板材４は、その中央に不図示のシフトレバーを挿通させる挿通孔４ａが形成された板状樹脂部材から成るもので、カバー部材２と化粧パネル３との間に介装され、シフトレバーと共に摺動して、化粧パネル３の挿通孔３ａからカバー部材２内に異物等が侵入しないよう配設されたものである。一方、カバー部材２の側面には、凸状の爪２ｂが複数形成されており、当該爪２ｂを係止孔３ｂに係止させることにより、介装部材４を介装させつつ、化粧パネル３をカバー部材２の上部に固定し得るよう構成されている。   The intervening plate material 4 is composed of a plate-like resin member having an insertion hole 4a through which a shift lever (not shown) is inserted at the center thereof, and is interposed between the cover member 2 and the decorative panel 3, It slides with the shift lever and is arranged so that foreign matter or the like does not enter the cover member 2 from the insertion hole 3a of the decorative panel 3. On the other hand, a plurality of convex claws 2b are formed on the side surface of the cover member 2, and the decorative panel 3 is interposed while the interposition member 4 is interposed by engaging the claws 2b with the engagement holes 3b. Is configured to be fixed to the upper part of the cover member 2.

ここで、本実施形態に係る車両用変速操作装置におけるカバー部材２の裏面側には、図３に示すように、前側係合部７、後側係合部８、補助係合部９、挟持部１０及び当接部１１がそれぞれ一体的に形成されている。前側係合部７は、カバー部材２の前側（図１における右側）から下方へ垂下して、ブラケット１の前側被係合部５に係合し得るもので、図４（係合過程）及び図５（係合時）に示すように、脚部７ａと、付勢部７ｃとを有している。尚、前側被係合部５の下面５ａは、その中央が下方へ突出して中央凸部５ｂを形成しており、該中央凸部５ｂの両側に後述する一対の爪部７ｂがそれぞれ係合するようになっている。   Here, on the back surface side of the cover member 2 in the vehicle speed change operation device according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the front engagement portion 7, the rear engagement portion 8, the auxiliary engagement portion 9, and the clamping The part 10 and the contact part 11 are each formed integrally. The front engaging portion 7 hangs downward from the front side (right side in FIG. 1) of the cover member 2 and can engage with the front engaged portion 5 of the bracket 1. As shown in FIG. 5 (during engagement), the leg portion 7a and the urging portion 7c are provided. In addition, the lower surface 5a of the front side engaged portion 5 protrudes downward in the center to form a central convex portion 5b, and a pair of claws 7b described later engage with both sides of the central convex portion 5b. It is like that.

前側被係合部５に前側係合部７が係合した状態において、脚部７ａは、図５に示すように、前側被係合部５の一方の側面５ｃ（内側の面）に沿って垂下し、先端に左右一対の爪部７ｂが形成されたものである。かかる爪部７ｂは、前側被係合部５の下面５ａと当接して係合しており、前側被係合部５に対する前側係合部７の抜け止めが図られている。尚、脚部７ａ及び爪部７ｂは、カバー部材２と一体成形された部位である。   In a state where the front engaging portion 7 is engaged with the front engaged portion 5, the leg portion 7a is along one side surface 5c (inner surface) of the front engaged portion 5, as shown in FIG. It hangs down and has a pair of left and right claw portions 7b formed at its tip. The claw portion 7b is in contact with and engaged with the lower surface 5a of the front engaged portion 5 so that the front engaging portion 7 is prevented from coming off from the front engaged portion 5. The leg portion 7a and the claw portion 7b are portions formed integrally with the cover member 2.

また、同図に示すように、脚部７ａの前側被係合部５と対向する面には、段部７ｄが形成されており、当該脚部７ａの先端側（同図下側であって爪部７ｂ近傍側）が厚肉及び基端側（同図上側）が薄肉状となっている。しかして、脚部７ａの基端側と前側被係合部５との間に所定寸法ｔのクリアランスが形成されるとともに、脚部７ａの先端側及び爪部７ｂが前側被係合部５の一方の側面５ｃ及び下面５ａと当接した状態とされている。   Further, as shown in the figure, a step 7d is formed on the surface of the leg 7a facing the front-side engaged part 5, and the leg 7a has a tip side (the lower side in the figure). The claw portion 7b vicinity side) is thick and the base end side (upper side in the figure) is thin. Thus, a clearance of a predetermined dimension t is formed between the base end side of the leg portion 7 a and the front engaged portion 5, and the distal end side of the leg portion 7 a and the claw portion 7 b are formed on the front engaged portion 5. The side surface 5c and the lower surface 5a are in contact with each other.

そして、カバー部材２をブラケット１に組み付けるべく、前側係合部７を前側被係合部５に押圧すると、図４に示すように、薄肉とされた脚部７ａの基端側が弾性変形し、脚部７ａが同図中矢印方向に撓むようになっており、そのまま押圧して図６に示す組付状態としている。従って、爪部７ｂを前側被係合部５の下面５ａに係合させる際、脚部７ａを外側（図４矢印方向）に撓ませて係合作業をよりスムーズに行わせることができる。   Then, when the front engaging portion 7 is pressed against the front engaged portion 5 in order to assemble the cover member 2 to the bracket 1, the base end side of the thin leg portion 7a is elastically deformed as shown in FIG. The leg portion 7a is bent in the direction of the arrow in the figure, and is pressed as it is in the assembled state shown in FIG. Therefore, when engaging the claw portion 7b with the lower surface 5a of the front engaged portion 5, the leg portion 7a can be bent outward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4) so that the engaging operation can be performed more smoothly.

一方、前側被係合部５に前側係合部７が係合した状態において、付勢部７ｃは、図５に示すように、前側被係合部５の他方の側面５ｄ（外側の面）に沿って垂下するようにカバー部材２から一体的に延設され、当該他方の側面５ｄに対して常時付勢した状態とされたものである。即ち、付勢部７ｃは、その突端が設定された前側被係合部５の他方の側面５ｄの位置（設計図通りの位置）よりも内側（脚部７ａ側）まで延びており、前側被係合部５に前側係合部７が係合した状態において、付勢部７ｃを微少寸法外側に撓ませた状態とし、当該他方の側面５ｄに対して常時付勢しつつ当接した状態としているのである。   On the other hand, in a state where the front engagement portion 7 is engaged with the front engaged portion 5, the biasing portion 7c is, as shown in FIG. 5, the other side surface 5d (outer surface) of the front engaged portion 5. Is integrally extended from the cover member 2 so as to hang down along the other side, and is always biased to the other side surface 5d. That is, the urging portion 7c extends to the inner side (the leg 7a side) from the position (position as shown in the design drawing) of the other side surface 5d of the front side engaged portion 5 where the protruding end is set. In a state where the front side engaging portion 7 is engaged with the engaging portion 5, the urging portion 7 c is bent to the outside of a minute dimension, and the urging portion 7 c is in a state of being in constant contact with the other side surface 5 d. It is.

従って、前側被係合部５の一方の側面５ｃに対して爪部７ｂを係合させる際、付勢部７ｃによる付勢力を当該前側被係合部５の他方の側面５ｄに付与させるので、金属製のブラケット１に樹脂製のカバー部材２を組み付けるものであっても、両者の組み付け部に生じた寸法誤差を吸収し、ガタを抑制することができるとともに、組み付け時の作業性を良好とすることができる。即ち、前側被係合部５が寸法誤差により設定位置よりも外側（図４及び図５における右側）となった場合でも、付勢部７ｃによる付勢力の付与が維持されるので、両部材間のガタが抑制されるのである。   Accordingly, when the claw portion 7b is engaged with the one side surface 5c of the front engaged portion 5, the urging force by the urging portion 7c is applied to the other side surface 5d of the front engaged portion 5, Even if the resin cover member 2 is assembled to the metal bracket 1, it is possible to absorb the dimensional error generated in the assembly portion of both and suppress the play and to improve the workability at the time of assembly. can do. That is, even when the front engaged portion 5 is outside the set position due to a dimensional error (right side in FIGS. 4 and 5), the application of the urging force by the urging portion 7c is maintained. The backlash is suppressed.

また、脚部７ａの基端側が薄肉状とされ撓み易くなっているので、付勢部７ｃによる付勢力に加え、当該脚部７ａの撓みによっても、金属製のブラケット１に樹脂製のカバー部材２を組み付ける際の寸法誤差を吸収させることができる。即ち、前側被係合部５が寸法誤差により設定位置よりも内側（図４及び図５における左側）となった場合でも、脚部７ａが撓んだ状態となって、爪部７ｂによる係合を維持することができるのである。   Further, since the base end side of the leg portion 7a is thin and easy to bend, in addition to the urging force by the urging portion 7c, the metal bracket 1 is also covered with a resin cover member by the bending of the leg portion 7a. The dimensional error at the time of assembling 2 can be absorbed. That is, even when the front-side engaged portion 5 is inward of the set position (left side in FIGS. 4 and 5) due to a dimensional error, the leg portion 7a is bent and engaged by the claw portion 7b. Can be maintained.

尚、図３及び図７に示すように、カバー部材２の後側端における裏面には、上記した前側係合部７とほぼ同様の機能を有する後側係合部８が形成されている。かかる後側係合部８は、脚部７ａと付勢部７ｃとから主に構成されており、当該脚部７ａ先端に形成された爪部７ｂ’は、上記した爪部７ｂの如く一対に分離されていないが、ブラケット１の後側被係合部６の下面と係合して（図８及び図１０参照）抜け止めを図るものである。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, a rear engagement portion 8 having substantially the same function as the above-described front engagement portion 7 is formed on the back surface at the rear end of the cover member 2. The rear engagement portion 8 is mainly composed of a leg portion 7a and a biasing portion 7c, and a claw portion 7b ′ formed at the tip of the leg portion 7a is paired like the claw portion 7b described above. Although not separated, it engages with the lower surface of the rear engaged portion 6 of the bracket 1 (see FIGS. 8 and 10) to prevent it from coming off.

また、カバー部材２の後側端における裏面であって、前側係合部７と対応した位置には、挟持部１０が一体成形されている。この挟持部１０は、図３に示すように、ブラケット１の延設方向（前後方向）に延びた一対のリブ１０ａ、１０ｂから成り、その離間部にブラケット１の被挟持部１２を挿通させて挟持し得るものである。これにより、カバー部材２をブラケット１に組み付ける過程において、当該ブラケット１に対するカバー部材２の前後方向の摺動を許容しつつ挟持させることができ、前後方向の寸法誤差を吸収させつつ、両者のガタを一層抑制することができるとともに、組み付け時の作業性を更に良好とすることができる。   In addition, a sandwiching portion 10 is integrally formed at a position corresponding to the front engagement portion 7 on the back surface at the rear end of the cover member 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the sandwiching portion 10 is composed of a pair of ribs 10 a and 10 b extending in the extending direction (front-rear direction) of the bracket 1, and the sandwiched portion 12 of the bracket 1 is inserted into the separated portion. It can be pinched. Thereby, in the process of assembling the cover member 2 to the bracket 1, the cover member 2 can be held while allowing the slide of the cover member 2 in the front-rear direction with respect to the bracket 1. Can be further suppressed, and the workability during assembly can be further improved.

また更に、カバー部材２の後側端における裏面には、当接部１１が形成されている。この当接部１１は、図３に示すように、スリット１１ａにより形成された梁部１１ｂと、該梁部１１ｂの略中央から下方に突出した凸部１１ｃとから主に構成され、図８及び図９に示すように、カバー部材２がブラケット１に組み付けられた状態で、凸部１１ｃがブラケット１上面と付勢しつつ当接するようになっている。   Furthermore, a contact portion 11 is formed on the back surface at the rear end of the cover member 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the contact portion 11 is mainly composed of a beam portion 11b formed by the slit 11a and a convex portion 11c protruding downward from the approximate center of the beam portion 11b. As shown in FIG. 9, in a state where the cover member 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the convex portion 11 c comes into contact with the upper surface of the bracket 1 while being urged.

即ち、カバー部材２がブラケット１に組み付けられた状態において、梁部１１ｂが上方へ撓んだ状態となるよう凸部１１ｃが形成されており、当該梁部１１ｂの復元力により凸部１１ｃが常時ブラケット１の上面を押圧するようになっているのである。これにより、カバー部材２のブラケット１に対する上下方向の寸法誤差をも吸収させることができ、ガタの抑制を一層向上させることができる。   That is, in the state in which the cover member 2 is assembled to the bracket 1, the convex portion 11c is formed so that the beam portion 11b is bent upward, and the convex portion 11c is always formed by the restoring force of the beam portion 11b.
