Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multidirectional input device, and more particularly to a multidirectional input device that switches a transmission of a vehicle.
  • a multi-directional input device that switches a transmission of a vehicle by switching a shift position of an operation lever is known.
  • the multidirectional input device is provided with a lock unit to prevent the multidirectional input device from being switched by an unintended external force.
  • Patent Document 1 discloses a multidirectional input device in which an operation lever cannot be operated unless a lock is released using a knob button.
  • the multidirectional input device of Patent Document 1 includes an operation lever that extends linearly from a rotation shaft, a knob button that can move in a direction (lateral direction) orthogonal to the direction in which the operation lever extends (vertical direction), and the movement of the knob button And a rod that moves in the vertical direction in response to the unlocking of the operation lever.
  • the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a multidirectional input device that is easy to operate even when the hand of the operator is small or the grip strength of the operator is weak.
  • the present invention includes an operation lever that can be shifted to a plurality of shift positions, and a lock portion that can be switched between a locked state that restricts the shift operation and an unlocked state that enables the shift operation.

  • the lock unit is a multi-directional input device that can be rotated in a rotation direction approaching the knob and a direction opposite to the rotation direction, and is switched to an unlocked state in response to the switch rotating in the rotation direction.
  • the switch for switching the lock portion rotates with a small force around the rotation support portion based on the lever principle, so that the operator's hand is small compared to the conventional mechanism for starting the button in translation. Even if the operator's grip strength is weak, it is easy to operate.
  • the lock is not released unless the force is considerably large.
  • the lock is not released unless the force is applied with a large stroke. In other words, since the lever principle is used, it is difficult to release the lock by an unintended force and it is difficult to malfunction.

Furthermore, since the switch can rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction approaching the knob around the rotation support portion, the switch can be easily operated by the operation of grasping the knob.
  • the switch covers a part of the knob from the outside.
  • the switch since the switch covers a part of the outer surface of the knob, it can be operated with the palm of the operator. Therefore, it is easier to operate even when the operator's hand is small or when the operator's grip is weak, compared to a conventional mechanism that pushes the button into the knob.
