Description

Technical Field

[0001] The technology disclosed in this specification relates to cable modules, vehicles including the cable modules, and methods for producing the vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2017-212133 (JP 2017-212133 A) discloses a connection mechanism for connecting a charging connector to a charging port installed on a vehicle. The connection mechanism has an electronic locking device that locks the charging connector to the port. The electronic locking device typically performs locking and unlocking using the driving force of a motor. Furthermore, the electronic locking device has a release part. When the operator pulls the release part, the lock established by the electronic locking device is released, and the charging connector can be detached from the port. Therefore, in the electronic locking device, the lock can be manually released. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In an electronic lock device where the lock is released when the operator pulls the release part, the release part can be in the form of a cable. When the release part is in the form of a cable, the slack of the cable needs to be reduced. This is because if the cable slack is large, the lock may not be properly released. On the other hand, when installing an electronic lock device, if the cable slack is small, it is difficult to connect the cable to the electronic lock device. The specification presents a cable module capable of connecting a cable to an electronic lock device while suppressing cable slack, a vehicle including the cable module, and a method for manufacturing the vehicle.

[0004] One aspect of this disclosure is a cable module connected to a manual release section of an electronic lock device. The cable module includes a retaining member and a cable member. The retaining member includes a base, a guide, and an attachment. The cable member is placed on the base. The cable member includes a gripping portion and a cable connected to the gripping portion. The guide is disposed on the upper surface of the base and configured to guide the cable member such that it slides relative to the base along the longitudinal direction of the cable. The attachment protrudes from the base. The retaining member is configured to hold the cable member in a first position and a second position. When the cable member is in the second position, the length of the intermediate portion of the cable between the guide and the gripping portion is longer than the length of the intermediate portion when the cable member is in the first position. When the cable member is in the second position, the gripping portion is attached to the attachment portion with the intermediate portion bent.

[0005] In the first position, the length of the middle part can be zero.

[0006] When the cable module is connected to the electronic lock device, the retaining member can be initially fixed in place. For example, when the cable module is connected to the electronic lock device installed on a vehicle, the retaining member can be fixed to the vehicle body. Then, with the retaining member holding the cable member in a first position, the cable can be connected to the manual release part of the electronic lock device. When the cable member is in the first position, the length of the middle portion of the cable between the guide and the gripper is short; therefore, the cable length from the guide to the distal end is long. This makes it easy to connect the cable to the manual release part of the electronic lock device. At this stage, the cable connected to the manual release part is slack. Then, the slack of the cable can be reduced by pulling the gripper. When the gripper is pulled, the length of the middle portion of the cable increases. Then, the middle portion with the increased length can be bent, and the gripper can be attached to the attachment part. In this way, the cable member can be held in a second position. With the cable member thus held in the second position, the cable member can be fixed with a small degree of cable slack. Furthermore, in the second position, the cable member can remain in a bent state; therefore, the cable member occupies little lateral space. Consequently, the cable member is unlikely or impossible to interfere with another member. Therefore, the cable module is easy to use even when installation space is limited in the lateral direction.

[0021] In one example of a cable module disclosed in the specification, the guide may include a protrusion disposed on the upper surface of the base at a location on the opposite side of the cable.

[0022] In an example cable module disclosed in the specification, when the cable member is in the first position, the gripping portion of the cable member can contact the side of the attachment portion of the retaining member.

[0023] In one example cable module disclosed in the specification, a pair of protrusions may be provided on the upper surface of the base. When the cable member is in the second position, the middle portion in a bent state may be located between the pair of protrusions.

[0024] With this arrangement, the positional relationship between the curved middle section and the pair of protrusions makes it easier to determine whether the cable member is in the correct position.

[0025] In one example of the cable module disclosed in the specification, each of the protrusions may include an inclined surface that is angled towards the upper surface of the base in the direction toward the guide. When the cable member is in a first position, the cable member can be held by the holding member with the gripping portion in contact with the inclined surface of each of the protrusions.

[0026] With this arrangement, when the cable component is in the first position, the gripping part can be kept in an inclined state relative to the upper surface of the base. This makes it easy to pull the gripping part.

[0027] In one example cable module disclosed in the specification, the guide may include an opposing portion opposite to the upper surface of the cable. The upper surface of the cable may include a first protrusion configured to pass through the guide.

[0028] With this arrangement, vibrations are transmitted to the operator when the gripper pulls the first protrusion past the guide. This makes it easy for the operator to confirm that appropriate operation is being performed.

[0029] In one example cable module disclosed in the specification, the upper part of the cable may include a second protrusion configured to bypass the guide portion. The second protrusion may be positioned closer to the distal end of the cable than the first protrusion.

[0030] With this arrangement, the gripper is unlikely or impossible to be pulled beyond the required extent.

[0031] In one example cable module disclosed in the specification, the amount by which the second protrusion protrudes from the cable can be greater than the amount by which the first protrusion protrudes from the cable.

[0032] The specification also proposes a vehicle including a cable module. The vehicle may include a body, an entrance, a cover covering the entrance, and an electronic lock device for a power supply unit configured to lock the entrance or cover. A retaining member can be fixed to the body. The cable can be connected to the manual release part of the electronic lock device for the power supply unit. The retaining member can hold the cable component in a second position.

[0033] In this vehicle, with minimal slack in the manual release mechanism, the cable is connected to the manual release mechanism of the electronic lock device at the power supply port. This makes it easy to pull the cable and release the lock established by the electronic lock device of the power supply unit.

[0034] The specification also provides a method for manufacturing a vehicle. The method may include: securing a retaining member to the vehicle body; connecting a cable to a manual release part of an electronic lock device for a power supply unit while the retaining member holds the cable member in a first position; and after connecting the cable to the manual release part of the electronic lock device for the power supply unit, moving the cable member from the first position to a second position by pulling a gripping part.

[0035] According to the method for producing this vehicle, the cable can be connected to the electronic locking device of the power supply unit under slack conditions. Furthermore, after connecting the cable, the cable member moves to a second position, thereby reducing the slack of the cable.

[0036] Figures 1 to 3The cable module 10 of one embodiment shown includes a retaining member 20 and a cable member 30. The cable member 30 is formed entirely of resin. The cable member 30 is held by the retaining member 20. The cable member 30 is movable relative to the retaining member 20. Figures 1 to 3 The first position of the cable member 30 is shown. Figure 8 The second position of the cable member 30 is shown. The cable member 30 can move between the first position and the second position.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cable member 30 includes a gripping portion 32, a connecting portion 33, and a cable 34. The gripping portion 32 is ring-shaped, into which a human finger can be inserted. The connecting portion 33 consists of a pair of protrusions extending from the gripping portion 32. A hook is provided at the distal end of each of the protrusions constituting the connecting portion 33. When the cable member 30 is in a first position, each of the protrusions constituting the connecting portion 33 protrudes upward from the gripping portion 32. The connecting portion 33 is shaped such that it can engage with the attachment portion 25, which will be described later. The cable 34 is connected to the gripping portion 32. The cable 34 is flexible. The cable 34 has a connecting portion 34c at its distal end 34t (the end of the cable 34 opposite to the gripping portion 32), to which another member can be connected.

[0038] The retaining member 20 includes a base 24, a first guide 21, a second guide 22, and an attachment 25.

[0039] The upper surface of the base 24 includes a generally horizontally extending horizontal surface 24a and an inclined surface 24b. The inclined surface 24b extends obliquely downward from the horizontal surface 24a. A cable member 30 is placed on the base 24. When the cable member 30 is in a first position, a gripping part 32 is placed on the horizontal surface 24a, and a cable 34 extending from the gripping part 32 extends from above the horizontal surface 24a to above the inclined surface 24b. The cable 34 extends outward beyond the lower end 24x of the inclined surface 24b. Figure 1 As shown, when the cable member 30 is in the first position, the length L of the portion of the cable 34 located on the outer side of the lower end 24x is long.

[0040] A first guide portion 21 is disposed on a horizontal surface 24a. The first guide portion 21 includes a protrusion disposed on the opposite side of the cable 34. That is, the cable 34 is inserted between a pair of protrusions included in the first guide portion 21. The distal portion of each protrusion of the first guide portion 21 is bent toward the center of the cable 34 and faces the upper surface of the cable 34. A second guide portion 22 is disposed on an inclined surface 24b. The second guide portion 22 includes a protrusion disposed on the opposite side of the cable 34. That is, the cable 34 is inserted between a pair of protrusions included in the second guide portion 22. The distal portion of each protrusion of the second guide portion 22 is bent toward the center of the cable 34 and faces the upper surface of the cable 34. The first guide portion 21 and the second guide portion 22 allow the cable 34 to slide in the longitudinal direction and restrict the lateral and vertical movement of the cable 34.

[0041] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a first protrusion 38a and a second protrusion 38b are disposed on the top of the cable 34. The first protrusion 38a is located closer to the gripping part 32 than the second protrusion 38b. The second protrusion 38b protrudes from the top of the cable 34 by a greater amount than the first protrusion 38a. When the cable member 30 is in the first position, the first protrusion 38a and the second protrusion 38b are located between the first guide part 21 and the second guide part 22.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an attachment portion 25 is disposed on a horizontal surface 24a. The attachment portion 25 includes a protrusion disposed on the opposite side of the cable 34 and protruding from the horizontal surface 24a. Each of the protrusions included in the attachment portion 25 is located adjacent to the first guide portion 21. Each protrusion of the attachment portion 25 extends from the horizontal surface 24a to a height higher than the first guide portion 21. A hook portion is disposed at the upper end of each protrusion of the attachment portion 25. The attachment portion 25 is shaped such that it can engage with the engagement portion 33 of the cable member 30. When the cable member 30 is in the first position, the gripping portion 32 contacts the side surface 25a of the protrusion of the attachment portion 25. In other words, the gripping portion 32 contacts the side surface 25a of the attachment portion 25, thereby positioning the cable member 30 in the first position. Therefore, because the gripping portion 32 contacts the side surface 25a of the attachment portion 25, the cable member 30 is stably held in the first position.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown, a pair of walls 26 are mounted on a horizontal surface 24a. The walls 26 in this embodiment can be considered as protrusions of the present invention. The walls 26 are disposed on the horizontal surface 24a and positioned closer to the gripping portion 32 (more specifically, the gripping portion 32 in the first position) than to the distance from the first guide portion 21 and the attachment portion 25. The walls 26 are disposed on the opposite side of the gap portion 28, which is disposed on an extension of the cable 34. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each of the walls 26 includes an inclined surface 26a, which is inclined closer to the horizontal surface 24a in the direction toward the first guide 21. When the cable member 30 is in the first position, the underside of the gripping part 32 contacts the inclined surface 26a of the corresponding wall 26. Therefore, the gripping part 32 is held inclined on the horizontal surface 24a. As a result, a gap is ensured between the gripping part 32 and the horizontal surface 24a.

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the cable member 30 is in the first position, the portion of the cable 34 located between the gripping part 32 and the first guide part 21 (hereinafter referred to as the "middle portion 35") is quite short.

[0045] As described above, the cable member 30 can move between a first position and a second position. The operation of moving the cable member 30 from the first position to the second position will be described. To move the cable member 30 from the first position, the operator first hooks his / her fingers onto the annular gripper 32. At this time, the gripper 32 is inclined relative to the horizontal surface 24a, and there is a gap between the gripper 32 and the horizontal surface 24a; therefore, the operator can easily engage his / her fingers with the gripper 32. Next, the operator moves along... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The gripping part 32 is pulled in the direction indicated by the middle arrow 100. Then, the cable member 30, guided by the first guide part 21 and the second guide part 22, moves along the longitudinal direction of the cable 34. As a result, the cable member 30 moves as a whole toward the gripping part 32, as... Figure 6 As shown. Since the gap portion 28 between the walls 26 is located on the extension line of the cable 34, when the cable member 30 is as shown... Figure 6 When the cable 34 moves as shown, interference between the cable 34 and the wall 26 is prevented. Therefore, the cable member 30 can move easily. When the cable member 30 moves as shown... Figure 6 During the movement shown, the length of the middle portion 35 of the cable 34 between the gripping portion 32 and the first guide portion 21 increases compared to before the cable member 30 moves.

[0046] In this respect, because the first protrusion 38a protrudes only a small amount from the upper surface of the cable 34, it can pass through the first guide 21. When the first protrusion 38a passes through the first guide 21, vibration is transmitted to the operator. In this way, the operator can confirm that the operation of moving the cable member 30 is being performed appropriately. Furthermore, because the second protrusion 38b protrudes a large amount from the upper surface of the cable 34, it cannot pass through the first guide 21. In this way, excessive movement of the cable member 30 is prevented.

[0047] Next, the operator moves the gripping part 32 above the attachment part 25, while simultaneously bending the middle part 35 into an arc shape, as shown. Figure 6 As indicated by arrow 102. More specifically, the operator moves the gripping part 32 above the attachment part 25, so that the engaging part 33 protruding from the gripping part 32 faces downward. Next, the gripping part 32 is pressed against the attachment part 25. Then, the engaging part 33 engages with the attachment part 25, as shown by arrow 102. Figure 7 As shown. More specifically, each of the hooks in the engagement portion 33 engages with a corresponding hook in the attachment portion 25. Therefore, the gripping portion 32 is secured to the attachment portion 25. The gripping portion 32 is secured directly above the first guide portion 21. With the gripping portion 32 thus secured to the attachment portion 25, the cable member 30 is held... Figure 8 The second position is shown. With the cable member 30 in the second position, the length L of the portion of the cable 34 located outside the lower end 24x of the inclined surface 24b is shorter. That is, in Figure 8 In the middle, the length L is compared to Figure 1 The length L is short. Therefore, as the cable member 30 moves from the first position to the second position, the length L decreases. In addition, as the cable member 30 moves from the first position to the second position, the length of the middle portion 35 of the cable 34 between the gripping part 32 and the first guide part 21 increases.

[0048] In the second position, the loop of the middle portion 35 of cable 34 is located between walls 26. (As...) Figure 9 As shown, the appropriate position of the cable member 30 at the second position is set such that the loop of the middle portion 35 of the cable 34 does not extend beyond the wall 26. Therefore, when the loop of the middle portion 35 extends beyond the wall 26, as... Figure 9 As shown by dashed line 106, the cable member 30 is not positioned appropriately in the second position. The operator can determine whether the cable member 30 is positioned appropriately in the second position by visually inspecting the positional relationship between the wall 26 and the loop of the intermediate portion 35. When the loop of the intermediate portion 35 extends beyond the wall 26, as shown by dashed line 106, the operator can push the loop of the intermediate portion 35 from the outside with his / her fingers, as shown by arrow 108, so that the cable member 30 can be moved to the appropriate position.

[0049] Next, a vehicle equipped with the cable module 10 will be described. The cable module 10 is installed in a vehicle that includes a battery and operates using the battery's power. This vehicle can be an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle. Figure 10 As shown, a power supply port 54 is located in the front fender 50 of the vehicle. A power inlet is located within the power supply port 54. The power supply port 54 is covered by a cover 60. The cover 60 is pivotally attached to the front fender 50. The power supply port 54 can be opened and closed using the cover 60. When the cover 60 is open and the charging connector is connected to the inlet from the outside, the vehicle's battery can be charged.

[0050] Figure 11 A cover 60 is shown as viewed from the rear. An electronic locking device 62 is mounted on the cover 60. The electronic locking device 62 locks and unlocks the cover 60 by operating an actuator (such as a motor) contained therein. When the cover 60 is closed, the electronic locking device 62 is automatically operated, thereby locking the cover 60. That is, the cover 60 is prevented from being opened. When a specific operation is performed in the vehicle, the lock established by the electronic locking device 62 is released, and the cover 60 is opened. The electronic locking device 62 includes a wire 64. When the wire 64 is pulled while the electronic locking device 62 is in the locked state, the lock of the electronic locking device 62 can be released without operating the actuator. That is, the wire 64 is a manual release part for manually releasing the lock of the electronic locking device 62. Even if, for some reason, the cover 60 cannot be unlocked by the actuator of the electronic locking device 62, the lock of the electronic locking device 62 can be released when the wire 64 is pulled.

[0051] Next, the method of attaching the cable module 10 to the vehicle body will be described. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the front inner panel 70, included in the vehicle body, exists inside the front fender 50. (As...) Figure 11 As shown, two protrusions 29 are provided on the lower surface of the base 24 of the cable module 10. Each of the protrusions 29 includes a snap-fit ​​mechanism. During the attachment of the cable module 10 to the vehicle body, the protrusions 29 are inserted into holes provided in the front inner panel 70, thereby securing the retaining member 20 to the front inner panel 70. At this stage, the cable member 30 is held in a first position.

[0052] Next, with the cable member 30 positioned in the first position, the line 64 is connected to the cable 34. For example... Figure 12 As shown, a spherical portion 64a is disposed at the distal end of the line 64. The spherical portion 64a is inserted into the connecting portion 34c of the cable 34, so that the line 64 can be connected to the cable 34. Since the cable member 30 is disposed in the first position as described above, the length L of the portion of the cable 34 extending outward from the lower end 24x of the base 24 (see...) Figure 1The cable 34 is long enough to allow the operator to easily connect the line 64 to the cable 34.

[0053] Next, the cable member 30 moves to the second position, reducing the slack of the cable 34. That is, by the method described above, the cable member 30 moves from the first position (i.e., Figure 1 Move from the position shown to the second position (i.e., Figure 8 (as shown in the image). Then, the length L of the portion of cable 34 extending outward from the lower end 24x of base 24 (see...). Figure 8 The slack was reduced. As a result, the slack of cable 34 and line 64 was reduced.

[0054] As described above, according to the aforementioned production method, cable 34 can be connected to line 64 with sufficient length, allowing the operator to easily perform the connection operation. Then, cable member 30 moves to a second position, thereby reducing the slack of cable 34. Therefore, the vehicle can be shipped with reduced slack in cable 34.

[0055] When the lock established by the electronic lock device 62 cannot be electrically released due to some abnormality during vehicle use, an emergency release of the lock can be performed manually. When the lock of the electronic lock device 62 (i.e., the lock of the cover 60) is released manually, the operator performing the manual operation can separate the gripping part 32 of the cable member 30 from the attachment part 25 and pull the gripping part 32. As the gripping part 32 is pulled, the line 64 is pulled via the cable 34, and the lock of the electronic lock device 62 is released. At this time, if the slack of the cable 34 and the line 64 is large, the operator performing the manual operation will not feel the tension when pulling the gripping part 32, and it will be difficult for the operator to determine whether the operation is performed correctly. On the other hand, in vehicles produced by the production method described above, the slack of the cable 34 and the line 64 is small, and the operator performing the manual operation can feel the tension when pulling the gripping part 32. Furthermore, because the slack of the cable 34 and the line 64 is small, the lock is released when the gripping part 32 is pulled slightly. Therefore, it prevents the operator from becoming uncertain about their own decisions. Thus, the operator can appropriately release the lock established by the electronic locking device 62.

[0056] Figure 13 The cable module 10, attached to the vehicle body, is shown. (Example) Figure 13 As shown, vehicle components including wiring 80 are located around the front inner panel 70, and the cable module 10 has very little installation space. However, in the cable module 10, the cable member 30 is fixed under the condition of bending in the middle portion 35; therefore, the cable module 10 occupies little space in the lateral direction. Therefore, the cable module 10 can be attached to the vehicle body without interfering with other vehicle components.

[0057] In the illustrated embodiment, cable 34 is connected to the manual release part of the electronic lock device, which locks the cover 60. However, when the electronic lock device that locks the connection between the inlet and the charging connector is installed on the vehicle, cable 34 can be connected to the manual release part of the electronic lock device, which locks the connection between the inlet and the charging connector.

[0058] While embodiments have been described in detail, these are merely exemplary embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims. The technology described in the claims includes various variations of the specific examples described above. The technical elements described in the specification or drawings exhibit technical utility when used alone or in various combinations, and are not limited to the combinations described in the filed claims. Furthermore, the technology shown in the specification or drawings should achieve two or more objectives simultaneously and be technically useful when achieving one of the objectives.
