Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

To clarify the content, we will first explain the terminology and background.

Automobile doors are provided with door lock devices. The basic function of a door lock device is to lock the door closed, and by operating the lock operation handle to release the lock, the locking lock can be released and the door can be opened.

Locking is to prevent the door from opening even if the lock is released, and unlocking is to prevent the door from opening even if the door is released from the locked state. It is called locking and unlocking.

As mentioned above, in the past, door lock devices were generally equipped with a locking/unlocking mechanism, and the lock operating handle device was not involved in locking/unlocking, but merely in the unlocking operation. .

The lock operating handle device described below is capable of operating itself in an unlocked state and an inoperable locked state. That is, if the lock operation handle device is made inoperable to release the lock, the door cannot be opened, so this is called "locking", and the state in which the lock release operation is possible is called "unlocking".

Further, it is possible to equip the door lock device with another mechanism for locking and unlocking, as is conventionally common, and if equipped, double locking and unlocking can be performed.

FIGS. 1 to 7 show a first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. A lock operating handle device 3 is connected via a connecting cable 21 to a lock/unlock operating mechanism 2, 23 consisting of an operating lever 2 near the driver's seat, which is a key cylinder, and a relay section 23 near the lock operating handle device 3. installed.

It consists of a push-out mechanism 8 consisting of two push-out members 7, and a locking/unlocking member 9 constituting the locking/unlocking mechanism, and each figure shows the locked state with the handle body 5 in the closed position.

The base member 4 has a storage portion 41 that is open outward and recessed inward, and a flange 43 that is attached to the surface of the backdoor 1 is formed surrounding the outer periphery of the opening 42 .

The handle body 5, which can close the opening 42 of the base member 4, is pivotally supported by the base member 4 via a pivot 51, and its swinging end forms a hand grip portion 52, and in the illustrated closed position, the handle body 5 is The gap between the periphery and the opening 42 of the base member 4 is extremely small and substantially closes the opening 42, and an actuation arm 53 is provided protruding from the back side, and the actuation arm 53 has a door lock (not shown). Members 31 are connected.

The first extrusion member 6 constituting the extrusion mechanism 8 is loosely fitted to the pivot shaft 51 of the handle body 5, and
The first pushing member 6 has a pushing end 61 that abuts and engages with the back side of the pushing member 6 , and an engaging end 62 that engages with the second pushing member 7 .
and the handle body 5 is a spring that has one end locked with the push-out member 6 and the other end locked with the actuating arm 53 to urge the handle body 5 toward the closed position (clockwise in FIGS. 3 and 4). 54 is stretched, and the second push-out member 7 is pivotally supported by a pivot 71 on the back surface of the storage portion 41 of the base member 4, and is engaged with the engaging end 62 so as to operate integrally with the first push-out member 6. The second extrusion member 7 is in the locking position and the unlocking position.
It has an engaging end 74 to which a turnover spring 73 is engaged, which reversely urges the 2 and the push-out member 7 constitute a push-out mechanism 8 that pushes out and holds the handle body 5 from the closed position to the operation standby position when it is reversed between the locked position and the unlocked position and is reversed from the locked position to the unlocked position.

The locking/unlocking member 9 has a shape bent approximately at the center, and the approximately central portion is pivotally supported by the base member 4 via a pivot pin 91, and is one end of the locking/unlocking member 9. The operated end 92 has an engaging pin 93 and an elongated hole 9.
4, and is engaged with the swinging arm portion 75 so as to operate integrally with the second push-out member 7, and the other end portion is engaged with a block protrusion 55 protruding from the back side of the handle body 5. It forms a locking end 95 that engages and disengages.

Further, the operating member 11 is coaxially and loosely supported by the pivot pin 91, and the operating member 11 has an input end 12 and an operating end 13, with both ends being the operating end 1.
3 and the circular arc groove 4 of the base member 4.

A connecting rod 22 provided at the end of a connecting cable 21 to the lock/unlock operating mechanism 2, 23 is connected to the input end 12. The operating end portion 13 includes a locking engagement portion 15 and an unlocking engagement portion 1.
A loose fit engagement portion 18 is provided with a loose fit gap 17 formed between the loose fit gap 17 and the loose fit engagement portion 18. The engagement pin 93 is disposed so that it engages with the locking engagement portion 15 during the unlocking operation, and the engagement pin 93 engages with the unlocking engagement portion 16 during the unlocking operation. The width of the loose fitting gap 17 is set to be approximately the same as the amount of movement of the engagement pin 93 accompanying the locking and unlocking operations of the second push-out member 7.

In the lock operating handle device 3 having the above configuration, the handle body 5 is normally held in the closed position as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, and the push-out mechanism 8 and the locking/unlocking member 9 are held in the locked position. has been done. At this time, if you try to pull up the handle body 5 and turn it, the locking end 95 will lock onto the handle body 5.
Since it is engaged in a locking position that interferes with the block protrusion 55 of the back door 1, it cannot be rotated and is locked by a so-called block method, so that the back door 1 cannot be opened.

When you want to release the lock, use the lock/unlock operation mechanism 2,
23 in a predetermined direction from the neutral position, the input end 12 of the operating member 11 is moved to the second position by the connecting rod 22.
If you turn it clockwise in the figure, the operating end 1
3 also rotates clockwise, the unlocking engagement part 16 of the loose fit engagement part 18 pushes the engagement pin 93, and the second push-out member 7 and the locking/unlocking member 9 are reversed to the unlocked position shown by the two-dot chain line. Then, when the connecting rod 22 is released, the operating end 13
returns to the neutral position due to the biasing force of the biasing spring 14,
The second pushing member 7 and the locking/unlocking member 9 are held in the unlocked position by the biasing force of the turnover spring 73. When the second push-out member 7 is reversed from the locked position to the unlocked position, the engaging end 62 of the first push-out member 6 is pushed down in FIGS. 2 and 5, and the first push-out member 6 is reversed in FIG. Since it is rotated clockwise, the pushing end 61 of the first pushing member 6 pushes the back surface of the handle body 5, and as shown in FIG. The handle body 5 is pushed out to an operation standby position where a hand or fingers can be inserted between the handle body 5 and the end edge of the handle body 5. When the locking/unlocking member 9 is in the unlocked position, the locking end 9
5 is in a position where it does not interfere with the block protrusion 55 of the handle body 5, so if the handle body 5 is rotated in the unlocking direction against the biasing force of the spring 54 as shown in FIG. This movement is transmitted to the lock via the transmission member 31, and the lock is released, allowing the back door 1 to be opened.

To lock, the handle body 5 is rotated clockwise in the figure from the operation standby position shown in FIG. working end 72 of
is pushed upward and the second push-out member 7 is rotated clockwise in FIG. , turnover spring 7
3. Then, the locking/unlocking member 9 is also reversed to the locked position via the swinging arm portion 75, and the locking end 95 is in a position where it interferes with the block protrusion 55 of the handle body 5, so that the handle body 5 cannot be rotated. It is locked and becomes the state shown in FIGS. 2 to 5. During the locking operation using the handle body 5, the engagement pin 93 is connected to the operating member 11.
The operating member 1 can be moved by simply moving freely within the loose fitting gap 17.
1. Connection cable 21, lock/unlock operation mechanism 2, 23
etc. are structured so that they are not linked. Therefore, the locking operation using the handle body 5 is performed using the connecting cable 2.
This can be done smoothly and reliably without receiving any sliding resistance or other loads. The lock can also be locked by operating the lock/unlock operating mechanisms 2, 23. In that case, the lock/unlock operating mechanisms 2, 23 are operated from the neutral position in the opposite direction to the unlocking direction, and the connecting rod 22 is operated. The input end 12 of the member 11 is rotated counterclockwise. Then, the loose fitting engagement portion 18
The locking engagement part 15 pushes the engagement pin 93 and reverses the second push-out member 7 and the lock-unlock member 9 to the locked position, and the second push-out member 7 and the lock-unlock member 9 are moved by the biasing force of the turnover spring 73. It is held in the locked position. When the connecting rod 22 is released, the operating member 11 returns to the neutral position by the biasing force of the biasing spring 14.

Note that the loose fitting engagement portion 18 of the operating member 11 is connected to the second
It goes without saying that a similar structure can be formed by engaging a swinging portion of the push-out member 7 or the locking/unlocking member 9.

8 and 9 show a second embodiment of the invention.

In this second embodiment, the locking/unlocking member 9 in the first embodiment is omitted, and instead, the second push-out member and the locking/unlocking member are constructed of a single member.

The other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals as those used in the first embodiment are used to illustrate them, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

That is, in this embodiment, a locking/unlocking mechanism is provided which has a locking end 95a bent toward the base member 4 on the right side (in FIG. 8) of the second push-out member 7a that is pivotally supported on the base member 4. The member 9a is integrally formed to constitute a locking/unlocking mechanism. The locking end 95a of the locking/unlocking member 9a can be engaged with and detached from a block protrusion 55a formed on the handle body 5 and protruding from the upper rear side of the base member 4, and is positioned on the movement trajectory of the block protrusion 55a when the lock is locked. Then, the block protrusion 55a engages and the handle body 5
The block protrusion 55a prevents the rocking when unlocking.
The handle body 5 is located outside the movement locus so as not to impede the swinging of the handle body 5.

As described above, in the second embodiment, since the second extrusion member 7a and the locking/unlocking member 9a are formed into a single member, the number of parts is reduced and the configuration is simplified. has advantages.

According to the lock operation handle device according to the present invention, the opening of the storage portion of the base member is normally closed by the handle body, and when necessary, the handle body is protruded to the operation standby position so that the door lock can be operated. Since it is equipped with a locking/unlocking mechanism that can be locked and unlocked in conjunction with the steering wheel body and the locking/unlocking operation mechanism, it is possible to smooth the surface of the vehicle, improve the appearance quality and aerodynamic performance, and improve the appearance quality and aerodynamic performance of the steering wheel body. Since it can be locked by operation, the locked/unlocked state can be confirmed at a glance, and operations can be performed smoothly and reliably.
