Detailed Description

Fig. 1 (a) shows a rear view of a shift lever device 10 as a shift device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 1 (B) shows a right side view of the shift lever device 10. In the drawings, the front of the shift lever device 10 is indicated by an arrow FR, the right of the shift lever device 10 is indicated by an arrow RH, and the upper of the shift lever device 10 is indicated by an arrow UP.

The shift lever device 10 according to the present embodiment is provided on the inside of a seat (driver's seat) of a vehicle in the vehicle width direction, and the left-right direction of the shift lever device 10 is arranged parallel to the vehicle width direction.

As shown in fig. 1 (a) and (B), the shift lever device 10 includes a substantially rod-shaped shift lever 12 as a shift body. The shift lever 12 is provided with a substantially cylindrical lever 14 as a shift body, and the lever 14 extends in the vertical direction. The lever 14 is supported by a support (not shown) on the vehicle body side at a lower portion (base end portion) so as to be rotatable (movable) in the front-rear direction, and the shift lever 12 is rotated in the front-rear direction to rotate the lever 14 in the front-rear direction, thereby changing the shift positions (for example, "P" position (parking position), "R" position (reverse position), "N" position (neutral position), "D" position (forward position)) of the shift lever 12.

A handle 16 as a grip is fixed to an upper end (distal end) of the lever 14. The handle 16 is designed to be held by an occupant (driver) of the vehicle, and rotates the operating handle 16 in the front-rear direction while holding the operating handle 16, thereby rotating the shift lever 12 in the front-rear direction.

The handle 16 is provided with a handle body 18 as a grip portion, and the occupant can grip the handle 16 with the handle body 18. Most of the outer peripheral surface of the handle body 18 is formed as a gripping surface 18A (see fig. 1C), and the gripping surface 18A is made of a soft resin (e.g., polyvinyl chloride) and is formed around the hard resin of the handle body 18 by overmolding.

A guide hole 20 is formed in the handle body 18, and the guide hole 20 extends in the left-right direction and opens to the right side (seat side, occupant side). A rectangular plate-shaped stopper 22 (see fig. 1C and 2 a) as an abutting portion and a stopping portion is provided on the left side of the guide hole 20, and the stopper 22 constitutes the left surface of the guide hole 20 and is disposed perpendicular to the left-right direction. The stopper 22 is formed integrally with the grip surface 18A of the handle body 18, and the stopper 22 is made of the same material as the grip surface 18A and made of a soft resin.

A substantially columnar push button 24 (see fig. 2 a) as a movable body and an operation body is provided in the guide hole 20, and the push button 24 is guided by the guide hole 20 and can slide (move) within a predetermined range in the left-right direction. A substantially bottomed cylindrical cover button 24A is provided on the right side portion of the button 24, and the right side of the cover button 24A is closed and exposed to the right side from the guide hole 20. A button body 24B (see fig. 3) having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape is provided on the left side portion of the button 24, and the button body 24B is made of a hard resin (e.g., made of polybutylene terephthalate). A cover button 24A is fixed to the button body 24B, and the button body 24B is slidable in the left-right direction integrally with the cover button 24A.

The push button 24 is biased rightward, and the push button 24 (cover button 24A) protrudes rightward from the guide hole 20 of the handle main body 18. The push button 24 (cover button 24A) is designed to be pressed leftward by the occupant, and the push button 24 is pressed leftward and slides leftward against an urging force (see fig. 1 (a) and (B) and fig. 2 (a)).

A substantially rectangular columnar protruding portion 26 (see fig. 2 a and 3) is integrally formed on the left surface of the button body 24B of the button 24, and the protruding portion 26 protrudes leftward. A plurality of (15 in the present embodiment) protrusions 28 are formed at the left end (projecting end) of the projecting portion 26, and the plurality of protrusions 28 are arranged in a grid pattern in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction. The projection 28 has a truncated quadrangular pyramid shape, and the cross section of the projection 28 decreases toward the left. The left surface (projecting end surface) of the projection 28 is formed as an abutment surface 28A, and the abutment surface 28A is rectangular planar and arranged perpendicular to the left-right direction. A groove portion 30 is formed between the protrusions 28 at the left end of the protruding portion 26, and the groove portion 30 is open to the left. The groove 30 extends in the front-rear direction or the vertical direction, and the groove 30 opens to the outer periphery of the protruding portion 26.

When the push button 24 is slid leftward, the contact surfaces 28A of the plurality of projections 28 of the projection 26 contact the stopper 22 of the handle main body 18, and the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped. When the sliding of the push button 24 to the left is stopped, the stopper 22 made of soft resin is elastically deformed by the protrusion 26 made of hard resin, and thereby generation of contact sound (hitting sound) of the protrusion 26 against the stopper 22 is suppressed. When the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped, even if the plurality of projections 28 and the groove portions 30 enter the stopper 22 due to the elastic deformation of the stopper 22, the groove portions 30 are opened to the outer peripheral side of the protruding portion 26 (the outer side of the contact portion between the plurality of projections 28 and the stopper 22) (see fig. 2B).

The push button 24 is connected to a click mechanism (not shown) as a restricting mechanism that restricts a predetermined rotation of the shift lever 12 (e.g., a rotation from the "P" position to the "R" position). The detent mechanism allows a defined rotation of the shift lever 12 after the push button 24 has been slid to the left.

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be explained.

In the grip 16 of the shift lever device 10 of the above configuration, the push button 24 is pressed leftward by the occupant, and the push button 24 slides leftward. Then, the contact surfaces 28A of the plurality of projections 28 in the projection 26 of the push button 24 (push button main body 24B) contact the stopper 22 of the handle main body 18, and the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped.

Here, a groove portion 30 is formed between the protrusions 28 of the protruding portion 26. Therefore, when the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped, the contact area between the stopper 22 and the projection 26 can be reduced by the groove 30. Thus, for example, even when a liquid (water, grease (lubricant), or the like) is interposed between the stopper 22 and the projecting portion 26 and an adsorption force due to the surface tension of the liquid acts between the stopper 22 and the projecting portion 26, the adsorption force can be reduced, and the button 24 (projecting portion 26) can be prevented from being adsorbed to the handle main body 18 (stopper 22).

When the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped, even if the protruding portion 26 (the plurality of protrusions 28 and the groove portions 30) enters the stopper 22 due to the elastic deformation of the stopper 22, the groove portions 30 are opened outward of the outer periphery of the protruding portion 26. Therefore, the groove portion 30 can be prevented from being sealed by the stopper 22, and an inflow path of gas (air) to the groove portion 30 can be ensured. This makes it easy to change the volume of the interposed object (liquid and gas) between the stopper 22 and the protruding portion 26, and effectively reduces the suction force acting between the stopper 22 and the protruding portion 26, thereby effectively suppressing the suction of the push button 24 (protruding portion 26) to the handle main body 18 (stopper 22).

The stopper 22 is made of a soft resin, the protruding portion 26 is made of a hard resin, and the protruding portion 26 is harder than the stopper 22. Therefore, when the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped, the groove 30 between the projections 28 can be prevented from being closed by the compression of the projections 28 of the projection 26. This can appropriately reduce the suction force acting between the stopper 22 and the projection 26, and can appropriately suppress suction of the push button 24 (projection 26) to the handle main body 18 (stopper 22).

Further, since the push button 24 is slid leftward, when the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped, the contact surface 28A of the projection 28 of the projection 26 and the right surface of the stopper 22 are in contact with each other in a parallel state. Therefore, even when the contact surface 28A of the projection 28 and the right surface of the stopper 22 are in contact in a parallel state when the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped, the push button 24 (the projection 26) can be prevented from being attracted to the handle body 18 (the stopper 22) as described above.

As described above, the protruding portion 26 is harder than the stopper 22. Therefore, when the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped, the projection 28 of the projection 26 can be suppressed from being compressed, and the accuracy of the stop position of the leftward sliding of the push button 24 can be improved.

The contact surface 28A of the projection 28 is planar. Therefore, when the leftward sliding of the push button 24 is stopped, the projection 28 of the projection 26 can be further suppressed from being compressed, and the accuracy of the stop position of the leftward sliding of the push button 24 can be further improved.
