- the shift lever of Patent Document 1 has a rod-like shape extending linearly, and includes a knob fixed to one end located outside the housing.
- the operating device includes a plunger movably attached to the other end of the shift lever in the housing.
- the plunger is urged by the elastic member in the shift lever in the direction in which the shift lever extends, and is pressed against the uneven surface fixed in the housing.
- the plunger moves along the uneven surface. The operator feels the operational feeling due to the resistance force between the plunger and the uneven surface. In either of the two rotation directions, one plunger is pressed against a common continuous uneven surface, and an operational feeling is generated.

- both the first path along which the first actuator moves and the second path along which the second actuator moves extend in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axial direction.
- the apparatus can be made thinner in the axial direction than when at least one of the second actuators moves. Even if the distance from the first virtual rotation axis to the tip of the first actuator is increased to maintain a large change in the resistance force, the operating device does not move in the axial direction even if the first actuator is thickened and the strength is increased. Does not grow. That is, the thickness can be reduced with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
- the first virtual rotation axis and the second virtual rotation axis are substantially orthogonal.
- the operating device that rotates in two orthogonal directions can be thinned with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
- the first path is substantially parallel to the second virtual rotation axis at one rotation position, and one The first actuator is disposed on the second virtual rotation axis at the rotational position.

Since the first actuator is disposed on the second virtual rotation axis in FIG. 2, the first actuator rotates on the spot when the operating member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis while maintaining its one rotation position. Only by doing this, the relative position between the first actuator and the first cam does not change significantly. For this reason, when the operating member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis, the resistance force generated by the first actuator is not greatly added to the resistance force generated by the second actuator. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis.
- the first actuator has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the center of symmetry of the first actuator substantially coincides with the second virtual rotational axis at one rotational position.
- the first actuator has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the symmetry center of the first actuator substantially coincides with the second virtual rotational axis at one rotational position, so that the operation member is the second virtual rotational axis.
- the relative position between the first actuator and the first cam can be kept constant.
- the first uneven surface has a locally recessed first trough, and the operating member is located at a first stable position around the first virtual rotation axis.
- the first actuator fits in the first valley.
- the first actuator fits in the first trough, so that the operation member is around the second virtual rotation axis.
- unintended rotation around the first virtual rotation axis of the operating member can be prevented.
- an intermediate support that supports the operation member rotatably around the first virtual rotation axis, and a support that supports the intermediate support rotatably around the second virtual rotation axis.
- the first guide member is fixed to the operation member, and the second guide member is configured as an integral member with the intermediate support.
- the second guide member is configured as an integral member with the intermediate support, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with a case where the second guide member is separate.
- the first cam is fixed to the support.
- the region on the first uneven surface through which the first actuator passes when the operating member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis is the second It differs depending on the rotational position of the operation member around the virtual rotation axis. Therefore, various operational feelings can be given to the operator as compared with the case where the first cam is fixed to the intermediate support.

- the second path is substantially parallel to the first virtual rotation axis, and the second actuator is on the first virtual rotation axis. Therefore, when the operating member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis, the relative position between the second actuator and the second cam does not change greatly only by the second actuator rotating on the spot. For this reason, when the operating member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis, the resistance force generated by the second actuator is not significantly added to the resistance force generated by the first actuator. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis.
- the second actuator has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the symmetry center of the second actuator substantially coincides with the first virtual rotation axis.
- the operation member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis.

Description
本発明は、操作装置に関し、特に、操作時に操作感を発生する操作レバーするものである。
The present invention relates to an operating device, and particularly to an operating lever that generates an operational feeling during operation.
車両の運転席付近に、トランスミッションを切り替える操作装置が設けられる。例えば、特許文献1に開示されている操作装置は、2本の回転軸を中心として2方向に回転するシフトレバーを備える。操作装置は、シフトレバーの位置に応じた電気信号を車両に送ることにより、トランスミッションを切り替える。特許文献1のシフトレバーは、直線状に延びた棒状の形状をもち、筐体の外に位置する一端に固定されたノブを含む。
An operation device for switching the transmission is provided near the driver's seat of the vehicle. For example, the operating device disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a shift lever that rotates in two directions around two rotation axes. The operating device switches the transmission by sending an electric signal corresponding to the position of the shift lever to the vehicle. The shift lever of Patent Document 1 has a rod-like shape extending linearly, and includes a knob fixed to one end located outside the housing.
また、操作装置は、筐体内にあるシフトレバーの他端に可動に取り付けられたプランジャを備える。プランジャは、シフトレバーの中の弾性部材によってシフトレバーの延びる方向に付勢されて、筐体内に固定された凹凸面に押しつけられている。操作者がノブを握ってシフトレバーを回転させると、プランジャが凹凸面に沿って移動する。プランジャと凹凸面との間の抵抗力により、操作者が操作感を感じる。2つの回転方向のいずれにおいても、共通の連続した凹凸面に1つのプランジャが押しつけられて、操作感が発生する。
Also, the operating device includes a plunger movably attached to the other end of the shift lever in the housing. The plunger is urged by the elastic member in the shift lever in the direction in which the shift lever extends, and is pressed against the uneven surface fixed in the housing. When the operator holds the knob and rotates the shift lever, the plunger moves along the uneven surface. The operator feels the operational feeling due to the resistance force between the plunger and the uneven surface. In either of the two rotation directions, one plunger is pressed against a common continuous uneven surface, and an operational feeling is generated.
しかしながら、特許文献1のシフトレバーでは、回転軸からプランジャの先端までの距離が短いと抵抗力の変化が発生しにくいので、シフトレバーの延びる方向に沿って回転軸からプランジャの先端まである程度の長さが必要である。また、回転軸からプランジャの先端までの距離が短いと、プランジャの先端の移動距離が短くなり、プランジャの大きさを小さくする必要が生じて強度が弱くなる。そのため、シフトレバーの延びる方向に装置を薄型化することが困難であるという不利益がある。
However, in the shift lever of Patent Document 1, if the distance from the rotating shaft to the tip of the plunger is short, the resistance force hardly changes. Is necessary. Moreover, if the distance from the rotating shaft to the tip of the plunger is short, the moving distance of the tip of the plunger becomes short, and it becomes necessary to reduce the size of the plunger and the strength is weakened. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to reduce the thickness of the device in the extending direction of the shift lever.
本発明はかかる事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら高い強度で薄型化できる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 an object thereof is to provide an operating device that can be thinned with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
本発明は、操作者の操作を受けて第1仮想回転軸と第2仮想回転軸との周りで回転可能な操作部材と、第1凹凸面をもつ第1カムと、操作部材が第1仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに操作部材と共に回転する第1ガイド部材と、第1ガイド部材に規定された第1経路で移動可能な第1アクチュエータと、第1アクチュエータを第1凹凸面に付勢する第1弾性部材と、第2凹凸面をもつ第2カムと、操作部材が第2仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに操作部材と共に回転する第2ガイド部材と、第2ガイド部材に規定された第2経路で移動可能な第2アクチュエータと、第2アクチュエータを第2凹凸面に付勢する第2弾性部材と、を備え、操作部材が、第1仮想回転軸と第2仮想回転軸とに略直交する軸方向に延びた操作軸を含み、第1仮想回転軸が、操作部材と共に第2仮想回転軸の周りで回転し、第1経路と第2経路との両方が、軸方向に略直交する方向に延びている、操作装置である。

A first guide member that rotates together with the operation member when rotating around the rotation axis, a first actuator that is movable along a first path defined by the first guide member, and a first actuator that is attached to the first uneven surface. A second elastic member, a second cam having a second concavo-convex surface, a second guide member that rotates together with the operation member when the operation member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis, and a second guide member A second actuator that is movable along a prescribed second path; and a second elastic member that urges the second actuator against the second concavo-convex surface, wherein the operation member has a first virtual rotation axis and a second virtual rotation. An operating shaft extending in an axial direction substantially orthogonal to the shaft, Virtual rotational axis, rotates around the second virtual rotation axis together with the operation member, both of the first path and the second path extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction, an operation device.
この構成によれば、第1アクチュエータの移動する第1経路と第2アクチュエータの移動する第2経路との両方が、軸方向に略直交する方向に延びているので、軸方向に第1アクチュエータと第2アクチュエータとの少なくとも一方が移動する場合に比べて、装置を軸方向に薄型化することができる。また、第1仮想回転軸から第1アクチュエータの先端までの距離を長くして抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら、第1アクチュエータを太くして強度を高くしても、操作装置が軸方向に大きくならない。すなわち、抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら高い強度で薄型化することができる。
According to this configuration, both the first path along which the first actuator moves and the second path along which the second actuator moves extend in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axial direction. The apparatus can be made thinner in the axial direction than when at least one of the second actuators moves. Even if the distance from the first virtual rotation axis to the tip of the first actuator is increased to maintain a large change in the resistance force, the operating device does not move in the axial direction even if the first actuator is thickened and the strength is increased. Does not grow. That is, the thickness can be reduced with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.

この構成によれば、操作部材が第1仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、1つの回転位置において第1経路が、第2仮想回転軸に略平行であり、かつ、その1つの回転位置において第1アクチュエータが、第2仮想回転軸上に配置されるので、その1つの回転位置を保ちながら操作部材が第2仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第1アクチュエータがその場で回転するだけで、第1アクチュエータと第1カムとの相対位置が大きく変わらない。そのため、操作部材が第2仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第2アクチュエータにより発生する抵抗力に、第1アクチュエータにより発生する抵抗力が大きく加わらない。従って、操作部材が第2仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときの抵抗力を制御しやすい。
According to this configuration, when the operation member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis, the first path is substantially parallel to the second virtual rotation axis at one rotation position, and the one rotation position. Since the first actuator is disposed on the second virtual rotation axis in FIG. 2, the first actuator rotates on the spot when the operating member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis while maintaining its one rotation position. Only by doing this, the relative position between the first actuator and the first cam does not change significantly. For this reason, when the operating member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis, the resistance force generated by the first actuator is not greatly added to the resistance force generated by the second actuator. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis.

Preferably, in the operating device of the present invention, the first actuator has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the center of symmetry of the first actuator substantially coincides with the second virtual rotational axis at one rotational position.
この構成によれば、第1アクチュエータが、回転対称な形状であり、第1アクチュエータの対称中心が、1つの回転位置において第2仮想回転軸に略一致するので、操作部材が第2仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第1アクチュエータと第1カムとの相対位置を一定に保つことができる。

図11に示すように、操作部材120を第3回転方向183(図7)に回転させるとき、図6に示すように、第1アクチュエータ160が第1谷部133内にはまったまま維持される。そのため、図11に示すように、操作部材120は、中間支持体140に対して回転しない。図12に示すように、第2アクチュエータ170が第2凹凸面137に沿って移動するときに発生する抵抗力が、操作者に操作感として伝わる。図12に示す第2回転位置にあるとき、第2ガイド部材155に沿った第2アクチュエータ170の第2経路は、第1仮想回転軸101に平行である。
As shown in FIG. 11, when the operation member 120 is rotated in the third rotation direction 183 (FIG. 7), the first actuator 160 is maintained in the first valley 133 as shown in FIG. 6. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the operation member 120 does not rotate with respect to the intermediate support 140. As shown in FIG. 12, the resistance force generated when the second actuator 170 moves along the second uneven surface 137 is transmitted to the operator as an operational feeling.

According to the present embodiment, both the first path along which thefirst actuator 160 moves and the second path along which the second actuator 170 moves extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction. Compared to the case where at least one of the first actuator 160 and the second actuator 170 moves, the apparatus can be made thinner in the axial direction. Even if the first actuator 160 is thickened and the strength is increased while the distance from the first virtual rotating shaft 101 to the tip of the first actuator 160 is increased to maintain a large change in the resistance force, the operating device 100 is increased. Does not increase in the axial direction. That is, the thickness can be reduced with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
本実施形態によれば、第1アクチュエータ160の移動する第1経路と第2アクチュエータ170の移動する第2経路との両方が、軸方向に略直交する方向に延びているので、軸方向に第1アクチュエータ160と第2アクチュエータ170との少なくとも一方が移動する場合に比べて、装置を軸方向に薄型化することができる。また、第1仮想回転軸101から第1アクチュエータ160の先端までの距離を長くして抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら、第1アクチュエータ160を太くして強度を高くしても、操作装置100が軸方向に大きくならない。すなわち、抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら高い強度で薄型化することができる。 (Summary)
According to the present embodiment, both the first path along which the

本実施形態によれば、操作部材120が第1仮想回転軸101の周りで回転するときに、1つの回転位置において第1経路が、第2仮想回転軸102に略平行であり、かつ、その1つの回転位置において第1アクチュエータ160が、第2仮想回転軸102上に配置されるので、その1つの回転位置を保ちながら操作部材120が第2仮想回転軸102の周りで回転するときに、第1アクチュエータ160がその場で回転するだけで、第1アクチュエータ160と第1カム130との相対位置が大きく変わらない。そのため、操作部材120が第2仮想回転軸102の周りで回転するときに、第2アクチュエータ170により発生する抵抗力に、第1アクチュエータ160により発生する抵抗力が大きく加わらない。従って、操作部材120が第2仮想回転軸102の周りで回転するときの抵抗力を制御しやすい。
According to the present embodiment, when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotation axis 101, the first path is substantially parallel to the second virtual rotation axis 102 at one rotation position, and Since the first actuator 160 is disposed on the second virtual rotation shaft 102 at one rotation position, when the operation member 120 rotates around the second virtual rotation shaft 102 while maintaining the one rotation position, The relative position between the first actuator 160 and the first cam 130 does not change greatly only by the first actuator 160 rotating on the spot. Therefore, the resistance force generated by the first actuator 160 is not greatly added to the resistance force generated by the second actuator 170 when the operation member 120 rotates around the second virtual rotation axis 102. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member 120 rotates around the second virtual rotation axis 102.
本実施形態によれば、第1アクチュエータ160が、回転対称な形状であり、第1アクチュエータ160の対称中心が、1つの回転位置において第2仮想回転軸102に略一致するので、操作部材120が第2仮想回転軸102の周りで回転するときに、第1アクチュエータ160と第1カム130との相対位置を一定に保つことができる。
According to the present embodiment, the first actuator 160 has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the center of symmetry of the first actuator 160 substantially coincides with the second virtual rotation axis 102 at one rotational position. When rotating around the second virtual rotation axis 102, the relative position between the first actuator 160 and the first cam 130 can be kept constant.
本実施形態によれば、操作部材120が第1仮想回転軸101の周りの第1安定位置に位置しているときに第1アクチュエータ160が第1谷部133にはまるので、操作部材120が第2仮想回転軸102の周りで回転するとき、操作部材120の第1仮想回転軸101の周りにおける意図しない回転を防ぐことができる。
According to the present embodiment, when the operation member 120 is located at the first stable position around the first virtual rotation axis 101, the first actuator 160 is fitted into the first valley portion 133, so that the operation member 120 is When rotating around the two virtual rotation axes 102, unintentional rotation of the operation member 120 around the first virtual rotation axis 101 can be prevented.
本実施形態によれば、第2ガイド部材155が中間支持体140と一体的な部材として構成されているので、別体である場合に比べて部品点数を減らすことができる。
According to the present embodiment, since the second guide member 155 is configured as an integral member with the intermediate support 140, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with a case where the second guide member 155 is a separate member.
本実施形態によれば、第1カム130が支持体110に固定されているので、操作部材120が第1仮想回転軸101の周りで回転するときに第1アクチュエータ160が通る第1凹凸面132上の領域は、第2仮想回転軸102の周りでの操作部材120の回転位置に応じて異なる。従って、第1カム130を中間支持体140に固定する場合に比べて、多様な操作感を操作者に与えることができる。
According to the present embodiment, since the first cam 130 is fixed to the support 110, the first uneven surface 132 through which the first actuator 160 passes when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotation axis 101. The upper region differs depending on the rotation position of the operation member 120 around the second virtual rotation axis 102. Therefore, compared to the case where the first cam 130 is fixed to the intermediate support 140, various operational feelings can be given to the operator.
変形例において、第2ガイド部材155は、中間支持体140に固定されず、操作部材120に固定されてもよい。
In a modification, the second guide member 155 may be fixed to the operation member 120 without being fixed to the intermediate support 140.
変形例によれば、操作部材120が第2仮想回転軸102の周りで回転するときに、第2経路が第1仮想回転軸101に略平行であり、かつ、第2アクチュエータ170が第1仮想回転軸101上に配置されるので、操作部材120が第1仮想回転軸101の周りで回転するときに、第2アクチュエータ170がその場で回転するだけで、第2アクチュエータ170と第2カム135との相対位置が大きく変わらない。そのため、操作部材120が第1仮想回転軸101の周りで回転するときに、第1アクチュエータ160により発生する抵抗力に、第2アクチュエータ170により発生する抵抗力が大きく加わらない。従って、操作部材120が第1仮想回転軸101の周りで回転するときの抵抗力を制御しやすい。
According to the modification, when the operation member 120 rotates around the second virtual rotation axis 102, the second path is substantially parallel to the first virtual rotation axis 101 and the second actuator 170 is the first virtual rotation axis. Since it is disposed on the rotating shaft 101, when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotating shaft 101, the second actuator 170 and the second cam 135 only rotate on the spot. The relative position of and does not change significantly. Therefore, the resistance force generated by the second actuator 170 is not significantly added to the resistance force generated by the first actuator 160 when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotation axis 101. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotation axis 101.
変形例によれば、第2アクチュエータ170が、回転対称な形状であり、第2アクチュエータ170の対称中心が、第1仮想回転軸101に略一致するので、操作部材120が第1仮想回転軸101の周りで回転するときに、第2アクチュエータ170と第2カム135との相対位置を一定に保つことができる。
According to the modified example, the second actuator 170 has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the center of symmetry of the second actuator 170 substantially coincides with the first virtual rotation axis 101, so that the operation member 120 is the first virtual rotation axis 101. , The relative position of the second actuator 170 and the second cam 135 can be kept constant.
なお、第1カム130は中間支持体140に固定してもよい。この場合、上述とは逆に、第1アクチュエータ160が通る第1凹凸面132上の領域が、第2仮想回転軸102の周りでの操作部材120の回転位置によらず一定になるため、操作者に一定の操作感を与えることができる。また、第1アクチュエータ160が通る第1凹凸面132上の領域が限定されるため、第1カム130のサイズを小型にすることができる。
Note that the first cam 130 may be fixed to the intermediate support 140. In this case, contrary to the above, the region on the first uneven surface 132 through which the first actuator 160 passes is constant regardless of the rotation position of the operation member 120 around the second virtual rotation axis 102. A certain operational feeling can be given to the person. In addition, since the region on the first uneven surface 132 through which the first actuator 160 passes is limited, the size of the first cam 130 can be reduced.
