Description

シフトレバー装置Shift lever device
 本発明は、自動変速機のシフトポジションを切替えるためのシフトレバー装置[shift lever device]に関する。 The present invention relates to a shift lever device [shift device] for switching a shift position of an automatic transmission.
 下記特許文献1は、自動車の自動変速機を操作するシフトレバー装置を開示している。なお、自動変速機のシフトレバーは、セレクタレバー[selector lever]とも呼ばれる。図7に示されるように、特許文献1に開示されたシフトレバー装置101では、シフトレバー103が、車体(図示せず)に固定されたケース本体[case main body]102に、前後に揺動可能に支持されている。シフトレバー103の基端には支持軸[support shaft]104が形成されており、支持軸104は、ケース本体102に形成された一対の軸受部[shaft receiving portions]105に軸支されている[pivotally mounted]。また、シフトレバー103のパーキングポジションからのシフト変更をロックするシフトロック機構106等の補助機構[supplemental mechanism(s)]が、ケース本体102内に配置されている。 The following Patent Document 1 discloses a shift lever device that operates an automatic transmission of an automobile. Note that the shift lever of the automatic transmission is also called a selector lever. As shown in FIG. 7, in the shift lever device 101 disclosed in Patent Document 1, the shift lever 103 swings back and forth on a case main body [case [main body] 102 fixed to a vehicle body (not shown). Supported as possible. A support shaft [support shaft] 104 is formed at the base end of the shift lever 103, and the support shaft 104 is pivotally supported by a pair of bearing portions [shaft receiving portions] 105 formed in the case body 102 [ pivotally mounted]. In addition, an auxiliary mechanism [supplemental mechanism (s)] such as a shift lock mechanism 106 that locks the shift change of the shift lever 103 from the parking position is disposed in the case main body 102.

 しかし、特許文献1に開示されたシフトレバー装置101では、補助機構をケース本体102内に配置するために、ケース本体102の一対の側壁107の間隔を広くしなければならず、装置全体が横方向に大きくなってしまう。また、一対の側壁107の中央が上方に開放されるので、補助機構を上方からケース本体102内に組付けることができるが、ケース本体102の強度が低下してしまう。 However, in the shift lever device 101 disclosed in Patent Document 1, in order to dispose the auxiliary mechanism in the case main body 102, the interval between the pair of side walls 107 of the case main body 102 must be widened, and the entire apparatus is lateral. It gets bigger in the direction. Further, since the centers of the pair of side walls 107 are opened upward, the auxiliary mechanism can be assembled into the case main body 102 from above, but the strength of the case main body 102 is reduced.
 本発明の目的は、補助機構がケース本体に組付けられた状態でも、小型化・軽量化を実現できるシフトレバー装置を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a shift lever device that can be reduced in size and weight even when an auxiliary mechanism is assembled to a case body.

A check member provided on the case main body, and a check guide on which the check ball of the check member that is swung together with the shift lever is pressed. A horizontal width of the shift hole is set to be equal to a width between the inner side surfaces of the pair of side walls, and the pair of side walls are spaced apart from a swing locus of the shift lever. A shift lever device is provided in which one of the side walls is formed with a block housing recess from one inner surface of the side wall toward the outer surface, and the check block is disposed in the block housing recess. To do.
 上記特徴によれば、ケース本体の横幅を極めて狭くすることができ、シフトレバー装置の小型化・軽量化を実現できる。 According to the above features, the lateral width of the case body can be made extremely narrow, and the shift lever device can be made smaller and lighter.
 ここで、前記シフトレバーと係合して、前記シフトレバーのパーキングポジションから他のシフトポジションへの移動を規制するシフトロック機構が、前記側壁の前記一方に設けられ、前記シフトロック機構が、前記側壁の前記一方の外側面よりも内方に配置されている、ことが好ましい。 Here, a shift lock mechanism that engages with the shift lever and restricts movement of the shift lever from a parking position to another shift position is provided on the one side wall, and the shift lock mechanism is It is preferable that it is arrange | positioned inward rather than said one outer surface of a side wall.
 このようにすれば、ブロック収容凹部が形成されている側壁の一方に、シフトロック機構も配置することで、シフトロック機構を側壁の一方の外側面からの突出させることなくシフトレバー装置の横幅を極めて狭くできる。また、シフトロック機構を側壁の一方の外側面の外方からケース本体に取り付けることができるので、シフトレバー装置の組付性を向上させることができる。 In this way, by arranging the shift lock mechanism on one of the side walls where the block housing recess is formed, the width of the shift lever device can be increased without causing the shift lock mechanism to protrude from one outer surface of the side wall. Can be very narrow. In addition, since the shift lock mechanism can be attached to the case main body from the outside of the one outer surface of the side wall, the assembling property of the shift lever device can be improved.
 また、前記シフトレバーが、該シフトレバーの軸方向に往復動可能なポジションピンを有し、前記一対の側壁には、前記ポジションピンが係脱可能に形成されたディテントガイドを有するディテント孔が形成され、前記シフトレバーがパーキングポジションに位置しているときに前記ポジションピンを保持するパーキング凹部が前記ディテントガイド上に形成されており、前記シフトロック機構が、前記側壁の前記一方、前記ディテント孔を挟んだ前記チェックブロックの反対側に配置され、かつ、前記パーキング凹部内に保持された前記ポジションピンの移動を阻止するロック位置と前記パーキング凹部内に保持された前記ポジションピンの移動を許容するロック解除位置との間で移動可能なロック部材を備えている、ことがさらに好ましい。 In addition, the shift lever has a position pin that can reciprocate in the axial direction of the shift lever, and a detent hole having a detent guide in which the position pin is detachably formed is formed in the pair of side walls. A parking recess is formed on the detent guide to hold the position pin when the shift lever is in a parking position, and the shift lock mechanism is configured to move the detent hole on the one side of the side wall. A lock position that is disposed on the opposite side of the check block that is sandwiched and that prevents the movement of the position pin held in the parking recess and a lock that allows the position pin held in the parking recess to move It is further preferred to have a locking member movable between the release position. There.
 このようにすれば、ポジションピンの移動を、側壁の一方に設けられたロック部材によって、シフトレバーの基端側で規制するので、ポジションピンの倒れを防止できる。 In this way, the movement of the position pin is regulated on the base end side of the shift lever by the lock member provided on one side of the side wall, so that the position pin can be prevented from falling down.
 また、前記ロック部材を駆動するソレノイドを収容するソレノイド収容部が、前記側壁の前記一方に設けられ、前記ソレノイド収容部が、前記側壁の前記一方の外側面よりも内方に配置され、かつ、前記側壁の他方に向けて前記シフト孔内に突出されている、ことがさらに好ましい。 In addition, a solenoid housing portion that houses a solenoid that drives the lock member is provided on the one of the side walls, the solenoid housing portion is disposed inward of the one outer surface of the side wall, and More preferably, it protrudes into the shift hole toward the other side wall.
 このようにすれば、ソレノイド収容部が、側壁の他方に向けてシフト孔内に突出されるので、ソレノイドの横幅がチェックブロックの横幅よりも大きくてもソレノイドを側壁の一方の外側面から突出させることがない。 In this way, the solenoid housing portion projects into the shift hole toward the other side of the side wall, so that the solenoid projects from one outer surface of the side wall even if the lateral width of the solenoid is larger than the lateral width of the check block. There is nothing.
 また、前記シフトレバーがパーキングポジションに位置されていることを検知するパーキングスイッチと、前記ポジションピンが前記パーキング凹部に位置することを検出するポジションスイッチと、をさらに備えており、前記パーキングスイッチが、前記側壁の前記一方の前記外側面に向けて突設された弾性片からなる係止爪、及び、前記側壁の前記一方の前記外側面に向けて突設された嵌挿ピンの少なくとも一方によって、前記ケース本体に保持され、前記ポジションスイッチが、前記側壁の前記一方の前記外側面に向けて突設された弾性片からなる係止爪、及び、前記側壁の前記一方の前記外側面に向けて突設された嵌挿ピンの少なくとも一方によって、前記ケース本体に保持されている、ことがさらに好ましい。 The parking switch further includes a parking switch that detects that the shift lever is positioned at a parking position, and a position switch that detects that the position pin is positioned in the parking recess. By at least one of a locking claw made of an elastic piece projecting toward the one outer surface of the side wall, and an insertion pin projecting toward the one outer surface of the side wall, A locking claw made of an elastic piece that is held by the case body and protrudes toward the one outer surface of the side wall, and toward the one outer surface of the side wall. More preferably, the case body is held by at least one of the protruding insertion pins.
 このようにすれば、側壁の一方の外側面の外方からパーキングスイッチ及びポジションスイッチをケース本体に取り付けることができ、組付性が向上する。 In this way, the parking switch and the position switch can be attached to the case body from the outside of one outer surface of the side wall, and the assembling property is improved.

 以下、実施形態に係るシフトレバー装置1を図1~図6を参照しつつ説明する。図2~図4の右側が車両前方であり、図2の上方及び図3下方が車両左側である。 Hereinafter, the shift lever device 1 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. The right side of FIGS. 2 to 4 is the front side of the vehicle, and the upper side of FIG. 2 and the lower side of FIG. 3 are the left side of the vehicle.
 シフトレバー装置1は、シフトレバー10によって、揺動範囲内に設定されたシフトポジション(パーキング[P]、リバース[R]、ニュートラル[N]、及び、ドライブ[D])の一つを選択することで、自動変速機(図示せず)の動作モードを、選択されたシフトポジションに対応する動作に切替える。 The shift lever device 1 selects one of the shift positions (parking [P], reverse [R], neutral [N], and drive [D]) set within the swing range by the shift lever 10. Thus, the operation mode of the automatic transmission (not shown) is switched to the operation corresponding to the selected shift position.
 シフトレバー装置1は、ケース本体20と、前後に揺動可能なシフトレバー10とを備えている。ケース本体20は、車両(図示せず)のセンターコンソールに配置されている。シフトレバー10の基端には支持軸12が形成されており、支持軸12は、ケース本体20の一対の側壁21R及び21Lに軸支されている。また、シフトレバー装置1は、チェック機構30を備えている。チェック機構[check mechanism]30は、ケース本体20とシフトレバー10との間に配置されており、シフトレバー10によるシフトポジションの変更時に抵抗感[resistive feeling]を付与する。さらに、シフトレバー装置1には、パーキングポジションからの意図しないシフトチェンジを防止するためのシフトロック機構40が設けられている。即ち、シフトロック機構40は、シフトレバー10のパーキングポジションから他のシフトポジションへの移動を規制する。 The shift lever device 1 includes a case body 20 and a shift lever 10 that can swing back and forth. The case main body 20 is disposed on a center console of a vehicle (not shown). A support shaft 12 is formed at the base end of the shift lever 10, and the support shaft 12 is supported by a pair of side walls 21 </ b> R and 21 </ b> L of the case body 20. Further, the shift lever device 1 includes a check mechanism 30. The check mechanism [check mechanism] 30 is disposed between the case main body 20 and the shift lever 10 and gives a resistance feeling when the shift position is changed by the shift lever 10. Further, the shift lever device 1 is provided with a shift lock mechanism 40 for preventing an unintended shift change from the parking position. That is, the shift lock mechanism 40 regulates the movement of the shift lever 10 from the parking position to another shift position.
 ケース本体20は、箱状の形状を有しており、その上面20aには、平行な一対の側壁21R及び21Lに沿って、シフト孔22が開口されている。シフト孔22の開口縁22aは、側壁21R及び21Lの内側面によって形成されている。即ち、シフト孔22の横幅は、一対の側壁21R及び21Lの内側面間の幅と同じに設定されている。側壁21R及び21Lの内側面(開口縁22a)は、シフトレバー10の揺動軌跡に対して所定間隔をあけてそれぞれ配置されている。なお、シフトレバー10の操作時にはシフトレバー10と側壁21R及び21Lとは接触せず、かつ、シフトレバー10への横方向荷重[lateral load]の作用時にはレバー本体11の上端に横方向にわずかに突出された係合部11a及び11bと開口縁22aとの接触によって開口縁22aがシフトレバー10を支えるように、シフトレバー10の揺動軌跡と開口縁22aとが配置されている。 The case body 20 has a box shape, and a shift hole 22 is opened on the upper surface 20a along a pair of parallel side walls 21R and 21L. The opening edge 22a of the shift hole 22 is formed by the inner side surfaces of the side walls 21R and 21L. That is, the lateral width of the shift hole 22 is set to be the same as the width between the inner side surfaces of the pair of side walls 21R and 21L. The inner side surfaces (opening edges 22a) of the side walls 21R and 21L are respectively arranged at predetermined intervals with respect to the swing locus of the shift lever 10. When the shift lever 10 is operated, the shift lever 10 and the side walls 21R and 21L do not come into contact with each other, and when the lateral load [lateral load] is applied to the shift lever 10, the lever body 11 slightly extends laterally. The swinging locus of the shift lever 10 and the opening edge 22a are arranged so that the opening edge 22a supports the shift lever 10 by the contact between the protruding engaging portions 11a and 11b and the opening edge 22a.
 シフトレバー10のレバー本体11の基端には、レバー本体11と直交する支持軸12が設けられている。支持軸12は、ケース本体20を構成する側壁21R及び21Lの下部に形成された軸受部[shaft receiving portions]23にカラー[collars]23aを介して軸支されている[pivotally mounted]。また、レバー本体11からは、パイプ部材13が支持軸12の径方向に延設されている。パイプ部材13の先端には、シフトノブ14が取り付けられ、パイプ部材13の筒内には、ロッド15がパイプ部材13の軸方向に往復動可能に配置されている。 At the base end of the lever main body 11 of the shift lever 10, a support shaft 12 orthogonal to the lever main body 11 is provided. The support shaft 12 is [pivotally 軸 受 mounted] supported by bearings [shaft receiving 下部 portions] 23 formed under the side walls 21R and 21L constituting the case body 20 via collars 23a. A pipe member 13 extends from the lever body 11 in the radial direction of the support shaft 12. A shift knob 14 is attached to the tip of the pipe member 13, and a rod 15 is disposed in the cylinder of the pipe member 13 so as to be able to reciprocate in the axial direction of the pipe member 13.
 シフトノブ14には、ロッド15の上端と連係される[interlinked with]ボタン14aが設けられている。ロッド15は、レバー本体11内に配置されたスプリング16によって、スプリング16との間に介在されたポジションピン17と共に、パイプ部材13の基端から先端の方向に付勢されている。 The shift knob 14 is provided with an [interlinked with] button 14 a linked to the upper end of the rod 15. The rod 15 is urged in the direction from the proximal end to the distal end of the pipe member 13 by a spring 16 disposed in the lever body 11 together with a position pin 17 interposed between the rod 15 and the spring 16.
 ポジションピン17は、レバー本体11を横方向に貫通し、かつ、側壁21R及び21Lに開口されたディテント孔[detent holes]24に挿通されている。また、ポジションピン17は、パイプ部材13の先端側に設定された係合位置[engaged position]と、パイプ部材13の基端側に設定された解除位置[disengaged position]との間で、ロッド15と共にシフトレバー10の軸方向に往復動可能である。即ち、通常は、ポジションピン17は、スプリング16によって付勢されて係合位置に保持されている。運転者がボタン14aを押すと、ロッド15を介して、ポジションピン17は解除位置に移動される。運転者がボタン14aを押すのを止めると、スプリング16の付勢力によって、ポジションピン17は係合位置に復帰され、ボタン14aも初期位置に戻される。 The position pin 17 penetrates the lever main body 11 in the lateral direction and is inserted into detent holes 24 opened in the side walls 21R and 21L. Further, the position pin 17 has a rod 15 between an engagement position [engaged position] set on the distal end side of the pipe member 13 and a release position [disengaged position] set on the proximal end side of the pipe member 13. At the same time, the shift lever 10 can reciprocate in the axial direction. That is, normally, the position pin 17 is urged by the spring 16 and held in the engaged position. When the driver presses the button 14a, the position pin 17 is moved to the release position via the rod 15. When the driver stops pressing the button 14a, the urging force of the spring 16 returns the position pin 17 to the engaged position, and the button 14a is also returned to the initial position.
 ディテント孔24は、側壁21R及び21Lの対向する位置に、同一形状の貫通孔として、それぞれ開口されている。ディテント孔24の上縁には、ディテントガイド25がそれぞれ形成されている。各ディテントガイド25上には、シフトレバー10の揺動軌跡に沿って、シフトポジション毎に凹凸部[cutout or protruded gap]が形成されている。ディテントガイド25上の凹凸部は、軸方向に動くポジションピン17と、シフトレバー10の揺動方向で係合又は脱離する[latched-with or unlatched-from]。 The detent hole 24 is opened as a through hole of the same shape at a position where the side walls 21R and 21L face each other. Detent guides 25 are respectively formed on the upper edges of the detent holes 24. On each detent guide 25, an uneven part [cutout or protruded gap] is formed for each shift position along the swinging locus of the shift lever 10. The concave and convex portions on the detent guide 25 are engaged with or detached from the position pin 17 moving in the axial direction in the swinging direction of the shift lever 10 [latched-with or unlatched-from].
 即ち、シフトレバー10がパーキングポジションに位置されている状態では、ポジションピン17は、スプリング16によって付勢されて係合位置にあり、ディテントガイド25上のパーキング凹部25a内に保持されている(図1及び図5参照)。そして、この状態から、ボタン14aを押さずにシフトレバー10を操作すると、ポジションピン17は、解除位置に移動されずに係合位置にあるので、ディテントガイド25上の凸部25b(図5参照)と係止し、シフトレバー10の揺動が阻止される。一方、ボタン14aを押してシフトレバー10を操作すると、ポジションピン17は、解除位置に移動され凸部25bを乗り越え、シフトレバー10のシフトチェンジが許容される。 That is, in a state where the shift lever 10 is positioned at the parking position, the position pin 17 is biased by the spring 16 and is in the engagement position, and is held in the parking recess 25a on the detent guide 25 (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 5). In this state, when the shift lever 10 is operated without pressing the button 14a, the position pin 17 is not moved to the release position but is in the engagement position, so that the convex portion 25b on the detent guide 25 (see FIG. 5). And the shift lever 10 is prevented from swinging. On the other hand, when the button 14a is pressed and the shift lever 10 is operated, the position pin 17 is moved to the release position, gets over the convex portion 25b, and the shift change of the shift lever 10 is allowed.
 図1に示されるように、チェック機構30は、シフトレバー10と一体的に設けられたチェック部材31と、ケース本体20に設けられたチェックブロック32とを備えている。チェック部材31は、チェックボール31aと、チェックカラー31bと、チェックスプリング31cと、チェックシリンダ31dとを有している。チェックボール31aは、チェックシリンダ31d内のチェックスプリング31cによって支持軸12の径方向に外側に付勢されており、チェックシリンダ31dの先端に取り付けられたチェックカラー31bによってチェックシリンダ31dからの脱落が抑止されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the check mechanism 30 includes a check member 31 provided integrally with the shift lever 10 and a check block 32 provided on the case main body 20. The check member 31 includes a check ball 31a, a check collar 31b, a check spring 31c, and a check cylinder 31d. The check ball 31a is urged outward in the radial direction of the support shaft 12 by a check spring 31c in the check cylinder 31d, and the check collar 31b attached to the tip of the check cylinder 31d is prevented from falling off the check cylinder 31d. Has been.
 図5に示されるように、右側壁(側壁の一方)21Rの内面には、右側壁21Rの外面側に向かって、ブロック収容凹部[block accommodation recess]26が形成されている。ブロック収容凹部26内には、チェックブロック32が配置されている。チェックブロック32は、ブロック収容凹部26の底部(上面20aの裏面)に接して配置されている。また、チェックブロック32は、シフトレバー10とともに揺動される上述したチェック部材31と対向配置される。チェックブロック32上には、チェックボール31aと摺設する溝状やレール状のチェックガイド32aが形成されている。また、波型のチェックガイド32a上の、各シフトポジションでのチェック部材31の位置に対応する位置には、チェックボール31aと係合するチェック凹部[check concave portion]32bが形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, a block accommodation recess 26 is formed on the inner surface of the right side wall (one of the side walls) 21 </ b> R toward the outer side of the right side wall 21 </ b> R. A check block 32 is disposed in the block housing recess 26. The check block 32 is disposed in contact with the bottom of the block housing recess 26 (the back surface of the upper surface 20a). Further, the check block 32 is disposed to face the above-described check member 31 that is swung together with the shift lever 10. On the check block 32, a check guide 32a having a groove shape or a rail shape that slides with the check ball 31a is formed. In addition, a check concave portion 32b that engages with the check ball 31a is formed at a position corresponding to the position of the check member 31 at each shift position on the wave check guide 32a.
 上述したチェック機構30によれば、シフトレバー10の操作時にはチェック部材31がシフトレバー10と共に揺動され、チェックボール31aはチェックブロック32に押し付けられつつチェックブロック32上を摺動する。そして、チェックボール31aが、チェックガイド32aのチェック凹部32bの間のチェック凸部[concave portion]を乗り越えるたびに、チェック機構30によってシフトチェンジ時の抵抗感が付与される。 According to the check mechanism 30 described above, when the shift lever 10 is operated, the check member 31 is swung together with the shift lever 10, and the check ball 31a slides on the check block 32 while being pressed against the check block 32. Then, every time the check ball 31a gets over the check convex portion [concaveionportion] between the check concave portions 32b of the check guide 32a, the check mechanism 30 gives a sense of resistance at the time of shift change.
 図1及び図6に示されるように、右側壁21Rには、シフトロック機構40が設けられている。シフトロック機構40は、車両前後方向において、ディテント孔24を挟んでチェックブロック32の反対側に配置されている。即ち、右側壁21Rには、シフトロック機構40、ディテント孔24及びチェック機構30が、前方からこの順番に配置されている。また、シフトロック機構40は、ポジションピン17の移動を規制するロック部材41と、ロック部材41を駆動するソレノイド42とを備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, a shift lock mechanism 40 is provided on the right side wall 21R. The shift lock mechanism 40 is disposed on the opposite side of the check block 32 across the detent hole 24 in the vehicle longitudinal direction. That is, the shift lock mechanism 40, the detent hole 24, and the check mechanism 30 are arranged in this order from the front on the right side wall 21R. The shift lock mechanism 40 includes a lock member 41 that restricts the movement of the position pin 17 and a solenoid 42 that drives the lock member 41.
 ロック部材41は、ディテント孔24の下方近傍のロック軸61(図4参照)に回動自在に軸支されており、ロック位置[lock position]とロック解除位置[unlock position]との間を揺動される。ロック部材41がロック位置に位置されていると、パーキング凹部25a内のポジションピン17の下方移動がロック部材41によって阻止される。一方、ロック部材41がロック解除位置に位置されていると、パーキング凹部25aからのポジションピン17の下方移動はロック部材41によって阻止されない。即ち、ロック部材41がロック解除位置に位置されていると、パーキング凹部25aからのポジションピン17の下方移動が許容される(シフトチェンジが許可される)。 The lock member 41 is pivotally supported by a lock shaft 61 (see FIG. 4) near the lower portion of the detent hole 24 so as to swing between a lock position [lock position] and an unlock position [unlock position]. Moved. When the lock member 41 is positioned at the lock position, the lock member 41 prevents the position pin 17 from moving downward in the parking recess 25a. On the other hand, when the lock member 41 is located at the unlock position, the downward movement of the position pin 17 from the parking recess 25a is not blocked by the lock member 41. That is, when the lock member 41 is positioned at the unlock position, the position pin 17 is allowed to move downward from the parking recess 25a (shift change is permitted).
 ソレノイド42は、ロック部材41に連結されており、ロック部材41の位置をロック位置又はロック解除位置に変位させる。ソレノイド42は、右側壁21Rに形成されたソレノイド収容部27内に配置されている。ソレノイド収容部27に設けられた係止爪がソレノイド42の外周面に係止されて、ソレノイド42がソレノイド収容部27内に保持されている。 The solenoid 42 is connected to the lock member 41, and displaces the position of the lock member 41 to the lock position or the lock release position. The solenoid 42 is disposed in a solenoid housing portion 27 formed on the right side wall 21R. Locking claws provided in the solenoid housing portion 27 are locked to the outer peripheral surface of the solenoid 42, and the solenoid 42 is held in the solenoid housing portion 27.
 ソレノイド収容部27は、ディテント孔24の前方のシフトレバー10の揺動範囲外に形成されている。また、ソレノイド収容部27は、ソレノイド42を収容した状態で、ソレノイド42の横幅は、右側壁21Rの外側面から外方に突出されないように設定されている。なお、本実施形態では、ソレノイド42の横幅がチェックブロック32の横幅より大きいので、ソレノイド収容部27は、左側壁(対向する側壁の他方)21Lに向けてシフト孔22内に突出されている。 The solenoid housing portion 27 is formed outside the swing range of the shift lever 10 in front of the detent hole 24. Further, the solenoid housing portion 27 is set so that the lateral width of the solenoid 42 does not protrude outward from the outer surface of the right side wall 21R in a state where the solenoid 42 is housed. In the present embodiment, since the lateral width of the solenoid 42 is larger than the lateral width of the check block 32, the solenoid housing portion 27 protrudes into the shift hole 22 toward the left side wall (the other of the opposing side walls) 21L.
 また、右側壁21Rには、パーキングスイッチ51及びポジションスイッチ52も設けられている(図1、図4及び図6参照)。パーキングスイッチ51は、シフトレバー10がパーキングポジションに位置されていることを検知する。パーキングスイッチ51は、ブレーキスイッチ(図示せず)と協働して、シフトレバー10のパーキングポジションからの操作を許容するか否かを決定する制御に用いられる。また、パーキングスイッチ51は、右側壁21Rの軸受部23の前方に形成されたパーキングスイッチ収容部28(図4参照)内に保持されている。 Also, a parking switch 51 and a position switch 52 are provided on the right side wall 21R (see FIGS. 1, 4 and 6). The parking switch 51 detects that the shift lever 10 is located at the parking position. The parking switch 51 is used for control to determine whether or not to allow the operation of the shift lever 10 from the parking position in cooperation with a brake switch (not shown). The parking switch 51 is held in a parking switch housing portion 28 (see FIG. 4) formed in front of the bearing portion 23 of the right side wall 21R.
 パーキングスイッチ収容部28の横幅は、収容されたパーキングスイッチ51が右側壁21Rの外側面から突出しないように設定されている。図4及び図6に示されるように、外方に向けてパーキングスイッチ収容部28内に突設された一対の嵌挿ピン63がパーキングスイッチ51に挿通され、かつ、外方に向けて(右側壁21Rの外側面に向けて)パーキングスイッチ収容部28に突設された弾性片からなる係止爪62がパーキングスイッチ51の外周面に係止されて、パーキングスイッチ51がパーキングスイッチ収容部28内にガタツキなくしっかりと保持されている。 The lateral width of the parking switch accommodating portion 28 is set so that the accommodated parking switch 51 does not protrude from the outer surface of the right side wall 21R. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, a pair of fitting insertion pins 63 projecting into the parking switch housing portion 28 toward the outside are inserted into the parking switch 51 and directed outward (on the right side). A locking claw 62 made of an elastic piece protruding from the parking switch housing portion 28 is locked to the outer peripheral surface of the parking switch 51 (toward the outer surface of the wall 21R). It is firmly held without rattling.
 ポジションスイッチ52は、パーキング凹部25a内の(係合位置に)ポジションピン17が位置していることを検知する。ポジションスイッチ52は、シフトレバー10がパーキングポジションに位置しているときにイグニッションスイッチのONからOFFへの切り替えを許容するか否かを決定する制御に用いられる。また、ポジションスイッチ52は、右側壁21Rのディテント孔24の上方に形成されたポジションスイッチ収容部29(図4参照)内に保持されている。 The position switch 52 detects that the position pin 17 is located (in the engagement position) in the parking recess 25a. The position switch 52 is used for control to determine whether or not to allow the ignition switch to be switched from ON to OFF when the shift lever 10 is in the parking position. The position switch 52 is held in a position switch housing portion 29 (see FIG. 4) formed above the detent hole 24 of the right side wall 21R.
 ポジションスイッチ収容部29の横幅は、収容されたポジションスイッチ52が右側壁21Rの外側面から突出しないように設定されている。図4及び図6に示されるように、ポジションスイッチ52は、外方に向けてポジションスイッチ収容部29内に延設された一対の嵌挿ピン63がポジションスイッチ52に挿通され、かつ、外方に向けて(右側壁21Rの外側面に向けて)ポジションスイッチ収容部29に突設された弾性片からなる係止爪62がポジションスイッチ52の外周面に係止されて、ポジションスイッチ収容部29内にガタツキなくしっかりと保持されている。 The lateral width of the position switch accommodating portion 29 is set so that the accommodated position switch 52 does not protrude from the outer surface of the right side wall 21R. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the position switch 52 has a pair of fitting insertion pins 63 extending in the position switch accommodating portion 29 facing outward, and is inserted into the position switch 52, and the position switch 52 is outward. A locking claw 62 made of an elastic piece projecting from the position switch housing portion 29 is locked to the outer peripheral surface of the position switch 52 toward the outer surface of the right side wall 21R. It is firmly held inside without rattling.
 なお、ソレノイド42、パーキングスイッチ51及びポジションスイッチ52から延びる電線(図示せず)は、配索片[wire routing tab]64、配索突起[wire routing protrusion]65、配索切欠[wire routing slots]66及び配索対突起[wire routing paired-protrusions]67(図4及び図6参照)によって、右側壁21Rの外側面側で配索される。配索された電線は、ケース本体20後方でまとめられ[bundled]、コネクタ70を介して外部機器に接続される。 In addition, the electric wire (not shown) extended from the solenoid 42, the parking switch 51, and the position switch 52 includes a routing piece [wire 、 routing tab] 64, a routing protrusion [wire routing protrusion] 65, a routing notch [wire routing slots]. 66 and a routing pair protrusion [wire routing paired-protrusions] 67 (see Fig. 4 and Fig. 6) are routed on the outer side of the right side wall 21R. The wired wires are bundled behind the case body 20 and connected to an external device via the connector 70.
 配索片64は、電線の直径よりも僅かに大きく隙間を形成するように右側壁21Rの外側面から離間されており、電線が壁面から離れるのを規制している。配索突起65は、配索片64の先端近傍で、右側壁21Rの外側面から外方に突設されており、配索片64と協働して電線の外側面に沿った移動を規制する。配索切欠66は、右側壁21Rの補強フランジ68に形成されており、電線を挟持することで電線の移動を規制している。配索対突起67は、それらの間の隙間が電線の直径よりも僅かに狭くなるように、右側壁21Rの外側面から外方に向けて突設されており、それらの間に電線を挟持することで電線の移動を規制している。 The wiring piece 64 is separated from the outer surface of the right side wall 21R so as to form a gap slightly larger than the diameter of the electric wire, and restricts the electric wire from separating from the wall surface. The routing protrusion 65 protrudes outward from the outer surface of the right side wall 21 </ b> R near the tip of the routing piece 64, and regulates movement along the outer side surface of the electric wire in cooperation with the routing piece 64. To do. The wiring notch 66 is formed in the reinforcing flange 68 of the right side wall 21R, and restricts the movement of the electric wire by sandwiching the electric wire. The wiring pair protrusions 67 project outward from the outer surface of the right side wall 21R so that the gap between them is slightly narrower than the diameter of the electric wire, and the electric wire is sandwiched between them. By doing so, the movement of the electric wire is regulated.
 上述した配索構造によって、電線の配索のための別部品が必要なく、電線を配索片64、配索突起65、配索切欠66及び配索対突起67に引っ掛けるだけで、電線を配索するとともに移動を規制することができる。 The wiring structure described above eliminates the need for separate parts for wiring of the electric wires, and the electric wires can be arranged simply by hooking the electric wires to the wiring pieces 64, the wiring protrusions 65, the wiring notches 66, and the wiring pair protrusions 67. It is possible to restrict movement while searching.

Further, the check block 32 is disposed in a block accommodating recess 26 formed on the inner surface of the right side wall 21R toward the outer surface side of the right side wall 21R. For this reason, the protrusion part from the outer side surface of the right side wall 21R of the case main body 20 can be eliminated, the lateral width of the case main body 20 can be extremely narrowed, and the shift lever device 1 can be reduced in size and weight.
 また、シフトロック機構40が、ブロック収容凹部26が形成された右側壁21Rの外側面よりも内方に配置されているので、シフトロック機構40を右側壁21Rから突出させることなく、シフトレバー装置1の横幅さらに狭くすることができる。 Further, since the shift lock mechanism 40 is disposed inward of the outer side surface of the right side wall 21R in which the block accommodating recess 26 is formed, the shift lever device is not protruded from the right side wall 21R. The width of 1 can be further reduced.
 さらに、上記構成によれば、シフトロック機構40、ポジションスイッチ52及びパーキングスイッチ51を右側壁21Rの外方からケース本体20に取り付けることができるので、シフトレバー装置1の組付性を向上させることができる。 Furthermore, according to the above configuration, the shift lock mechanism 40, the position switch 52, and the parking switch 51 can be attached to the case body 20 from the outside of the right side wall 21R, so that the assembly of the shift lever device 1 is improved. Can do.
 さらに、ポジションピン17の移動を右側壁21Rに設けられたロック部材41によってシフトレバー10の基端側で規制するので、ポジションピン17の倒れを防止できる。また、ソレノイド収容部27が、対向する左側壁21Lに向けてシフト孔22内に突出されているので、ソレノイド42の横幅がチェックブロック32の横幅よりも大きくてもソレノイド42を右側壁21Rの外側面から突出させることがない。 Furthermore, since the movement of the position pin 17 is restricted on the base end side of the shift lever 10 by the lock member 41 provided on the right side wall 21R, the position pin 17 can be prevented from falling. Further, since the solenoid accommodating portion 27 protrudes into the shift hole 22 toward the opposing left side wall 21L, even if the lateral width of the solenoid 42 is larger than the lateral width of the check block 32, the solenoid 42 is placed outside the right side wall 21R. It does not protrude from the side.
