Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a lid/lock structure for a storage compartment such as a glove box provided in a vehicle.

[Conventional technology]

Generally, a glove box serving as a storage space is provided on the passenger side of an instrument panel of an automobile.

A conventional lid/lock structure for a glove box in an automobile is shown in FIG. 5, in which a lock mechanism L' is provided inside a lid 1 of the glove box. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lock mechanism L' includes a key cylinder 2 and a lock part 3, and a rod 4 which is driven by the operation of the key cylinder 2 to lock and unlock the lock part 3. It is composed of:

As shown in FIG. 8, the key cylinder 2 is rotatably provided with a rolling member 5, and the rolling member 5 has a protrusion 5a for engaging with a locking/unlocking clip 6. It is formed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a recess 6a for engaging with the projection 5a of the rolling member 5 is formed on the key cylinder 2 side of the clip 6. Then, the recess 6a of the clip 6 and the protrusion 5a of the rolling member 5 are engaged, and the clip 6 and the tip of the rod 4 are connected.

On the opposite side of the key cylinder 2 in the clip 6, a felt 7 for preventing rattling is pasted, and on the side of the lock part 3 in the key cylinder 2,
A stopper 8 for regulating the leftward position of the clip 6 is attached.

A hole cover (not shown) covering the clip 6 is attached so that its inner surface is brought into close contact with the felt 7 of the clip 6.

With the above configuration, the key can be inserted from the outside of the key cylinder 2 and the rolling member 5 of the key cylinder 2 can be inserted into the key cylinder 2 from the outside.
When rotated in one direction, the clip 6 is driven by the rolling member 5 and slides to the right in FIG. 6, resulting in the state shown in FIG. 7. At this time, the rod 4 connected to the clip 6 also moves at the same time.
The lid 1 is locked by the locking operation of the lock portion 3 connected to the lid 1.

Further, when the rolling member 5 of the key cylinder 2 is rotated in the opposite direction, the clip 6 slides in the opposite direction and comes into contact with the stopper 8 and stops as shown in FIG. At this time, the rod 4 also moves at the same time as the clip 6, and the lock portion 3 is unlocked again.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

By the way, in the conventional vehicle storage lid/lock structure as described above, only the elastic force of the felt 7 is used to prevent the clip 6 from rattling, so as the elastic force decreases, the clip 6 becomes looser. It's getting hotter easily. Further, since the felt 7 as a rattling member and the stopper 8 are separate bodies, the number of parts increases, leading to an increase in cost.

This invention attempts to solve these problems, and is a vehicle storage lid lock that reliably prevents the clip attached to the key cylinder from wobbling and reduces the number of parts. The purpose is to provide structure.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, the vehicle storage lid/lock structure of the present invention includes a key cylinder and a lock that can slide left and right by engaging with a protrusion on a rolling member of the key cylinder inside the storage lid of the vehicle. - A clip-retaining member is provided, which includes an unlocking clip and a hole cover that is attached to the storage compartment so as to cover the clip, and is provided with a spring that elastically presses the clip toward the protrusion. The present invention is characterized in that the clip retaining member is provided with a stopper for regulating the position of the clip in both left and right directions.

[Effect]

In the vehicle storage lid/lock structure of the present invention described above, the lock/unlock clip is elastically pressed toward the protrusion of the rolling member by the spring of the clip retaining member. Furthermore, the stopper of the retaining member restricts the position of the clip in both the left and right directions.

[Embodiment] A vehicle storage lid/lock structure as an embodiment of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing its main parts, Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the main parts thereof. The figure is the arrow direction view of Figure 1,
Figures a and b are front views showing the action of each stopper.

In this embodiment as well, a locking mechanism L is provided inside the lid 1 of the glove box serving as a storage compartment (see FIG. 5).

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lock mechanism L includes a key cylinder 2 and a lock portion 3, as well as a rod 4 that is driven by the operation of the key cylinder 2 to lock and unlock the lock portion 3. It is composed of

The key cylinder 2 is rotatably provided with a rolling member 5, and the rolling member 5 is formed with a protrusion 5a for engaging with a locking/unlocking clip 6 (see Fig. 8). reference).

Further, the clip 6 has a recess 6a on the key cylinder 2 side for engaging with the protrusion 5a of the rolling member 5.
is formed (see Figure 9). Then, the recess 6a of the clip 6 and the protrusion 5a of the rolling member 5 are engaged, and the clip 6 and the tip of the rod 4 are connected.

On the other hand, on the left and right overhangs of the key cylinder 2,
A through hole 10 through which the clip 9 is inserted is formed, and through holes 10 are formed at both left and right ends of the clip retaining member 11 so as to be aligned with the through hole 10.
2 is formed. Further, the clip retaining member 11 has a spring portion 11a formed therein, and a tongue portion 11b that comes into contact with the clip 6 is formed in the center of the spring portion 11a, as shown in FIG. Furthermore, the clip retaining member 1
Stoppers 11c for regulating the position of the clip 6 are formed on the left and right sides of the clip 1.

After the clip 6 is covered and the clip retaining member 11 is aligned with the key cylinder 2, the screw 9 is inserted into the through holes 10 and 12 and tightened to the lid 1.
A clip retaining member 11 is attached to the key cylinder 2.

Further, a hole cover 13 is provided to cover the clip 6 and the clip retaining member 11.

With the above-described structure, the clip 6 is elastically pressed against the protrusion 5a of the rolling member 5 by the tongue portion 11b of the clip retaining member 11. Then, the clip 6 is pressed by the tongue portion 11b by the elastic force of the spring portion 11a of the clip retaining member 11.
It is prevented from falling off from the key cylinder 2, and its rattling is also sufficiently prevented.

Further, when the clip 6 is slid left and right by the rotation of the rolling member 5, the position of the clip 6 in both the left and right directions is regulated by the stopper 11c, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b.

In this way, the clip retaining member 11 also functions as a stopper in the left and right direction, so that the number of parts can be reduced compared to the conventional one.

[Effect of idea]

As described in detail above, according to the vehicle storage compartment lid/lock structure of the present invention, the key cylinder and the key cylinder are engaged with the protrusions on the rolling members of the key cylinder and are attached to the left and right sides of the lid of the storage compartment in the vehicle. A clip ejector is provided with a locking/unlocking clip that can slide on the clip, a hole cover that is attached to the storage compartment so as to cover the clip, and a spring that elastically presses the clip toward the protrusion. With a simple structure in which a stopper is provided, and a stopper for regulating the position of the clip in both left and right directions is formed on the clip retainer, rattling of the locking/unlocking clip attached to the key cylinder can be prevented. This has the advantage of being definitely preventable.

There is also the advantage that the number of parts is reduced, resulting in lower costs.
