Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an ignition start switch whose state changes from on to start when a slide member that has been unlocked by inserting a key is pushed in.

[Prior art]

In the conventional ignition start switch used in automobiles, for example, when the key is inserted into the key cylinder and turned, the state changes from lock (off) to ACC on/on start, and at the start position, the key is turned off. When you release the hold, it automatically returns to the on position.

Recently, in order to increase the number of types of keys to prevent theft, it has been considered to use, for example, a thin flat card-shaped key, but such a shaped key is not suitable for rotational operation.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide an ignition start switch that does not require rotational operation and has a structure suitable for use with a key whose shape is unsuitable for rotational operation. be.

[Summary of the idea]

This device can be turned on and off from the lock position by pushing operation.
A slide member that can be changed to at least two starting positions is provided, and a lock device is provided that locks the slide member in the lock position and releases the lock by inserting a key to enable the slide member to be pushed in. A holding mechanism that holds the member in the on position and a restoring mechanism that releases the hold by the holding mechanism and restores the sliding member to the locked position by pushing the key in, eliminates the need for rotational operation by simply inserting the key. This is what was done.

Reference numeral 36 denotes a moderation pin as a stepped holding mechanism with a base 36a formed with a large diameter, which allows the base 36a to be inserted into the inner part of the guide groove 35 and to be movable up and down with respect to the guide groove 35, and to prevent it from falling out. It is inserted into the state,
The tip portion protrudes from the pin case 33 to the right by a predetermined length. A rectangular opening 37 is opened in the slide case 3 facing the moderation pin 36, and a moderation plate 38 is disposed therein. and,
At the bottom of this moderation plate 38 are shown figures 5 and 6.
As shown in the figure, two moderation convex portions 38a and 38b are arranged in a row, and a moderation convex portion 38b is provided above the moderation convex portion 38a with a predetermined gap, and the two moderation convex portions 38a , 38b has an inclined portion 38 on the front side.

Reference numeral 51 denotes a card sensor supported by the slide member 8 so as to be movable up and down.The upper end of the card sensor 51 enters the rear end of the key insertion hole 9 from below. Card sensor 51 by insertion
A lower end of the card sensor 51 is aligned with the front end of the locking lever 49 when the slide member 8 is in the locking position L. Reference numeral 52 designates a locking portion provided at the rear end of the locking lever 49, which is attached to the lower surface of the lock stopper 27 when the locking lever 49 is rotated in the opposite direction of arrow G against the biasing force of the compression coil spring 50. It is now coming into contact with And lock stopper 27
A lock stepped portion 53 is provided on the lower surface of the steering wheel, and when the lock stopper 27 is moved in the opposite direction of arrow D against the compression coil spring 28, the steering lock device 31 is locked as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11. When the lock is released, the lock portion 52 engages with the lock stepped portion 53, and the lock stopper 27 moves in the direction of arrow D.
This restricting action is performed by lowering the card sensor 51 when the slide member 8 is in the lock position L, and a detailed explanation will be given later. Note that 54 is a switch that is turned on when the locking lever 49 is rotated in the opposite direction of arrow G.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. When the slide member 8 is located at the lock position L and the card-shaped key 18 is not inserted into the key insertion hole 9, each lock pin 13 is moved in the direction of arrow B by the biasing force of the spring 14, as shown in FIG. The locking member 10 is prevented from moving in the direction opposite to the arrow A by fitting the tip ends into the stepped holes 16, and the inclined portion 10a of the locking member 10 and the inclined surface 7a of the stepped portion 7 are prevented from moving in the opposite direction of arrow A. Since they are engaged, pushing of the slide member 8 is restricted (locked). In this state, the switch 23 is off, and the through hole 29 of the lock stopper 27 is connected to the inclined surface 22 of the slide shaft 20.
The lock stopper 27 facing the rear part is moved in the direction of arrow D by the elastic force of the compression coil spring 28, and the lock bar 30 is moved in the same direction and fitted into a lock groove provided in a steering shaft (not shown). The rotation of the steering shaft is thereby restrained (locked), thereby placing the steering lock device 31 in a locked state. In addition, in this state, the moderation pin 36 is positioned forward of the moderation convex portion 38a of the moderation plate 38, as shown by "L" in FIG. The locking lever 49 is rotated in the direction of the arrow F by the force of the spring 43, and the locking lever 49 is further rotated in the direction of the arrow G by the biasing force of the compression coil spring 50, so that the card sensor 51 is rotated as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. As shown, the key has entered the key insertion hole 9, and the lock portion 52 is separated from the lock stopper 27.

Next, when the card type key 18 is inserted into the key insertion hole 9 as shown in FIGS.
7 is moved rearward, and along with this, the lock pin 13 is moved rearward (in the opposite direction of arrow B) against the spring 14, and each tip of the lock pin 13 is inserted into the stepped hole 1.
6 and becomes flush with the front surface of the lock member 10, the lock member 10 is allowed to move in the opposite direction of arrow A, and the lock on the slide member 8 is released. When the card-shaped key 18 is inserted into the key insertion hole 9 in this way, the card-shaped key 18 is guided by the inclined surface 51a of the card sensor 51 and pushes down the card sensor 51, so that the locking lever 49 is rotated in the opposite direction of arrow G against the compression coil spring 50, and the lock portion 52 at the rear end comes into contact with the lower surface of the lock stopper 27 (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 11).

With the card-shaped key 18 inserted into the key insertion hole 9, push the card-shaped key 18 further backward to move the slide member 8 backward (in the direction opposite to arrow C) against the spring force of the compression coil spring 21. When you move it,
While the inclined surface 10a of the locking member 10 is guided by the inclined surface 7a of the stepped portion 7, the locking member 10 is rotated by the spring 11.
At the same time, the stopper member 19 is also moved downward, and the stopper convex portion 19a is fitted into the stopper recess 18b of the card-shaped key 18. key 1
8 is pulled out from the key insertion hole 9 and held in place. Then, when the slide member 8 is pushed to the ACC position as shown in _FIG . The pin case 33 moves in the opposite direction of the arrow E against the spring force of the compression coil spring 34 and raises its moderation convex portion 38a, so that the moderation pin 3
6 is engaged with the moderation convex portion 38a as shown by "ACC" in FIG. 6, and the slide member 8 is held at the "ACC" position against the spring force of the compression coil spring 21. When the slide member 8 is held at the "ACC" position in this way, the slide shaft 20 and contact holder 24 are also moved in the opposite direction of arrow C, and the switch 23 is turned ACC ON.
(accessories on) state. Also,
As the slide shaft 20 moves in the direction opposite to the arrow C, the inclined surface 22 becomes inserted into the through hole 29, and the lock stopper 27 is moved in the direction opposite to the arrow D against the compression coil spring 28. As the lock bar 30 is also moved in the opposite direction of arrow D, the steering lock device 31 becomes unlocked. At this time, the front end of the locking lever 49 comes off the card sensor 51 and comes into contact with the lower surface of the slide member 8;
continues to be rotated in the opposite direction of arrow G against the spring force of the compression coil spring 50, as shown by the solid line in FIG.
The lock stopper 27 is brought into contact with the lower surface of the lock stopper 27 at a position to the left of the lock stopper 27 (see solid line in FIG. 11).

Next, when the slide member 8 is pushed further backward from the "ACC" position and moved to the ON position as shown in FIG.
The tip of the moderation pin 36 is guided by the inclined surface _38b1 of the moderation convex portion 38b and comes to ride over the moderation convex portion 38b. engaged with the protrusion 38b,
Similarly to the above, the slide member 8 is the compression coil spring 2.
It is now held in the "ON" position against the spring force of 1. At this time, the slide shaft 20 and contact holder 24 are also moved in the opposite direction of arrow C in conjunction with the slide member 8, so the switch 23 is
The state is changed to ON, and the ignition circuit (ignition coil) of the vehicle is energized. At this time, the steering lock device 31
The unlocked state is maintained as in the ACC position, and the state of the locking lever 49 remains unchanged as in the ACC position.

Then, when the slide member 8 is pushed further backward and moved to the START position as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 10, the slide shaft 20 and the contact holder 24 are
is further moved in the opposite direction of arrow C, and the switch 23 is
The state is changed to START, the starter motor circuit of the car is energized, and the starter motor is started. When the engine is started in this manner, when the pushing operation on the slide member 8 is released, the slide member 8 is returned forward (in the direction of arrow C) by the spring force of the compression coil spring 21, and the moderation pin 3
6 is restored to the ON state (solid line in FIG. 10) where it is engaged and held by the moderation convex portion 38b, and the engine continues to operate in this state.

For example, when the car reaches its destination and you want to stop the engine, press the push button 46 downward with a stroke S, and the restoring lever 4 will move accordingly.
1 is rotated about the fulcrum shaft 42 in the opposite direction of the arrow F against the compression coil spring 43, and as a result, the moderation pin 36 is guided by the guide groove 35 of the pin case 33 and rotated upward (see FIGS. 6 and 7). In the figure, arrow H
direction), the moderation pin 36 is moved by a stroke S ₁
is removed from the moderation convex portion 38b, and the hold on the slide member 8 is released. Then, the slide member 8 is moved back in the direction of arrow C by the spring force of the compression coil spring 21, and the moderation pin 36 is also moved together with the slide member 8 as shown by the arrow r in FIG. When the pin 36 comes into contact with the moderation convex portion 38c as shown by X in FIG. 6, the movement of the slide member 8 is stopped. At this time,
When the push button 46 is released, the restoring lever 41 moves in the direction of arrow F due to the spring force of the compression coil spring 43.
Since the moderation pin 36 is rotated in the direction, the moderation pin 36 is guided by the guide groove 33 of the pin case 33 and moved downward by a stroke S ₁ , contrary to the above description, and the moderation pin 36
is removed from the moderation convex portion 38c, moved as shown by the arrow P in FIG. Then, the slide member 8 is returned to the ACC position shown in FIG. and,
When the slide member 8 is restored in this way, the switch 23 is changed from the ON state to the ACC ON state,
The engine is stopped by cutting off the power to the ignition circuit.

Next, when the push button 46 is pushed downward again by a stroke S, the moderation pin 36 is moved upward by a stroke S ₁ via the restoring lever 41 in the same manner as described above.
The moderation pin 36 is removed from the moderation protrusion 38a and released from being held against the slide member 8, and the slide member 8 is returned to the direction of arrow C, and at the same time the moderation pin 36 is moved in the direction shown by arrow q in FIG. The slide member 8 is then returned to the locked position L shown in FIG. After this, press button 4
6 is released, the tip of the moderation pin 36 is at the 6th position.
The first “L” is moved as shown by arrow q ₁ in the figure.
Return to position. Then, when the push button 46 is operated twice with _each stroke S, the slide member 8 in the "ON" position is held at the "ACC" position and then restored to the "L" position, and the switch 2
The switching state 3 changes between "ACC ON" and OFF depending on the position of the slide member 8.

On the other hand, when the push button 46 is pushed downward by a stroke t with the slide member 8 in the "ON" position as shown in FIG _. Since the moderation pin 36 is moved, the tip of the moderation pin 36 becomes the moderation convex portion 38.
When the slide member 8 is moved back in the direction of arrow C after being removed from b, the moderation pin 36 moves in the sixth direction.
As shown by arrow y in the figure, this moderation pin 36
The tip end of the button no longer engages with the moderation convex portion 38c. Therefore, the slide member 8 is returned directly from the "ON" position to the "L" position.

In this way, when the slide member 8 is returned from the "ON" position to the "L" position, the slide shaft 20 is also returned to the position shown in FIG. 8, the card sensor 51 is moved downward and the locking lever 49 is rotated in the opposite direction of arrow G, so that the inclination of the slide shaft 20 is Even if the surface 22 escapes from the through hole 29, the lock portion 52 now engages with the lock stepped portion 53, and the lock stopper 27 and lock bar 30 are restrained in the position shown by solid lines in FIG. is kept unlocked. As a result, even if the slide member 8 is returned to the "L" position due to the push button 46 being pushed in by mistake while the vehicle is running, the steering lock device 31 will immediately operate and the steering wheel will become impossible to operate. We are trying to prevent the situation from happening.

When the operating member 8 is returned to the "L" position as described above through normal operation and the card-shaped key 18 is removed from the key insertion hole 9, the card sensor 51 rises and the locking lever 49 is moved. The spring force of the compression coil spring 50 causes the lock to rotate back in the direction of arrow G, resulting in the state shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. The lock bar 30 is moved by arrow D by the spring force of the compression coil spring 28.
The steering wheel is allowed to move in the same direction, and the steering lock device 31 becomes locked as shown in FIG.

According to the above configuration, by inserting the card-shaped key 18 and operating the slide member 8 in the same direction as the insertion direction, the switch 23 is turned on and off.
The state is changed to "ON" and "START", and even after the operation is completed, it is maintained in the "ACC ON" or "ON" state, and by pressing the push button 46, the slide member 8 is moved to the "L" position. Since it can be restored to its original state, it is not necessary to rotate the key after inserting it as in the case of a conventional key, making it very suitable for use with a relatively wide card-shaped key 18. Furthermore, if such a card-shaped key 18 is used, the width dimension can be set relatively large, so the number of key grooves 18a can be increased compared to conventional conventional keys, and the maximum depth of the key grooves 18a can also be increased. Therefore, it is possible to greatly increase the number of types of keys and reduce the occurrence of theft etc. using the same key.

Note that the key is the card type key 18 having the above configuration.
Instead, various shapes such as rod, block, and plate shapes can be used. Furthermore, a magnetic card can also be used. If a magnetic card is used, a magnetic signal reading device is provided in the key insertion hole. Furthermore, instead of the lock pin 13 and the lock release pin 17 that lock and unlock the lock member 10, an electromagnetic solenoid or the like that locks and unlocks the lock member 10 according to the reading result from the magnetic signal reading device may be provided. For example, it is possible to further prevent theft by increasing the conditions for unlocking, and it is also possible to prevent theft and the like from being copied without permission of the so-called spare key (card).

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above description, the present invention includes a slide member that can be changed from a lock position to at least two positions, ie, an on-start position, by a pushing operation;
A locking device is provided that locks the slide member in the lock position and releases the lock by inserting a key to enable the slide member to be pushed in. Furthermore, there is a holding mechanism that holds the slide member in the on position and a lock device that allows the slide member to be pushed in. A restoring mechanism is provided to release the holding by the holding mechanism and return the slide member to the locked position, so that no rotation operation is required by simply inserting the key. This has the practical effect of providing an ignition start switch with a structure suitable for use with a key having a shape unsuitable for rotational operation.
