Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Purpose of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention relates to a shift lever with a switch, for example, and more specifically relates to a shift lever with a switch that has an improved support structure for a harness connected to the switch. .

(Prior Art) Examples of conventional shift levers include those shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, for example. In FIG. 4, the shift lever 101 includes an operating knob 103 and an operating lever 105 that connects the knob 103 to an automatic transmission (not shown). knob 103
For example, in a four-wheel drive vehicle, two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive
A switch 107 is provided for switching between wheel drive and wheel drive. Harness 109 for switch 107
One end of the harness 109 is connected, and the harness 109 is disposed, for example, in the axial direction around the outer circumference of the operating lever 105, and the other end is connected to an external connector 111. A decorative outer cover 1 is provided on the outside of the operating lever 105.
13 are provided.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a holder guide 115 made of resin, for example, is provided between the operating lever 105 and the outer cover 113. A recess 117 is formed in the holder guide 115, and the harness 109 is located within this recess 117. In addition, a harness 109 is attached to the automatic transmission side of the holder guide 115 (lower end in the figure).
A clamper 119 is provided for pressing the holder against the holder guide 115 side.

For example, when assembling the shift lever 101, the harness 109 is attached to the outer cover 113.
Then, after connecting one end of the harness 109 to the switch 107 by soldering or the like, the knob 103 is fitted to the operating lever 105 via the outer cover 113. It is being said.

Therefore, during the above-mentioned assembly work, the harness 10 is
9 prevents the harness 109 from being caught between the operating lever 105 and the outer cover 113 without causing any slack within the outer cover 113, and prevents the harness 109 from being disconnected.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a conventional switch type shift lever, the holder guide 115 and clamper 119 for preventing the harness 109 from breaking are configured separately from the outer cover 113. Therefore, the number of parts is large and the assembly work is complicated, and the number of management steps also increases, which is disadvantageous to cost reduction.

This invention was made in view of the above problem, and aims to provide a shift lever with a switch that can reduce the number of parts, facilitate work, and reduce costs.

[Structure of the invention] (Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above object, the shift lever with a switch of this invention connects an operating knob with a switch and this knob to an automatic transmission. A shift lever with a switch, comprising a harness disposed outside an operating lever and connected to the switch, and an outer cover covering the harness and the outer cover of the operating lever, the shift lever having a shaft on an inner wall of the outer cover. A recess is formed for inserting the harness in the direction, and a pair of elastically deformable lip parts are integrally formed on both sides of the inner wall where the recess is formed to press the harness along the recess. It is characterized by

(Function) In the above configuration, in order to assemble the switch type shift lever, first, the harness is pressed down by the lip portion along the recess formed in the inner wall of the outer cover. Next, one end of the harness is connected to a switch provided on the knob, and then the knob is fitted to the operating lever via the outer cover.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

1 to 3 show a shift lever with a switch according to an embodiment of this invention.

First, to explain the configuration, the shift lever 1 includes a knob 3 for operation, a cylindrical operation lever 5 that connects the knob 3 and an automatic transmission (not shown), and an outer cover 7 that covers the outside of the operation lever 5. We are prepared. The knob 3 is provided with a switch 9 for switching between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive in a four-wheel drive vehicle, for example. Harness 1 for switch 9
The harness 11 is inserted between the outer cover 7 and the operating lever 5, and the other end is connected to the external connector 13.

The outer cover 7 is formed into a square column shape.
A fitting hole 15 for fitting the operating lever 5 is formed in the outer cover 7. A recess 17 for inserting the harness 11 is formed in the inner wall of one side of the outer cover 7. The recess 17 is formed to communicate with the fitting hole 15 and extends in the axial direction of the operating lever 5 .

Elastically deformable lip portions 19 for pressing the harness 11 along the inner wall of the outer cover 7 are integrally formed on both sides of the inner wall of one side of the outer cover 7. Such a shape of the outer cover 7 can be easily manufactured by molding it with rubber, resin, etc., for example.

Next, the action will be explained.

In the above configuration, the shift lever 1 is assembled in the following manner, for example. First, the harness 11 is fitted into the recess 17 of the outer cover 7 while the lip portion 19 is elastically deformed, and then one end of the harness 11 is connected to the switch 9 provided on the knob 3 by soldering or the like. Next, the shift lever 1 is obtained by fitting the knob 3 to the operating lever 5 via the outer cover 7.

As a result, the harness 1 inside the outer cover 7
1 is guided into the recess 17 and arranged along the inner wall without loosening, and even when the operating lever 5 is fitted, the harness 11 can be prevented from being bitten and disconnected. In this way, in this embodiment, the harness 11 can be protected by the integrally formed outer cover 7, so the number of parts can be reduced without using the three parts of the outer cover, holder guide, and clamper as in the conventional case. This not only makes the work easier, but also reduces management man-hours and reduces costs.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, according to this invention, an elastically deformable lip part that presses the harness along the recess is integrally formed in the recess formed on the inner wall of the outer cover, which reduces the number of parts. It is a configuration that facilitates assembly work, reduces management man-hours, and reduces costs. It also suppresses slack in the harness and prevents wire breakage when fitting the operating lever to the outer cover. can.
