Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] In consideration of the above facts, an object of the present invention is to obtain a shift device capable of improving the detection accuracy of the moving position of a shift body.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The shift device according to the first aspect of the present invention includes an assembly provided on the vehicle body side, a shift body assembled to the assembly and moved to change a shift position, a moving part assembled to the assembly and moved when the shift body is moved, and a detection mechanism assembled to the assembly and configured to detect the moving position of the shift body by detecting the relative position with the moving part.

[0007] A second aspect of the present invention is a shift device in which the shift body and the moving part are separate components, in the shift device of the first aspect of the present invention.

[0008] A third aspect of the present invention is a shift device in which, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the shift body, the moving part, and the detection mechanism are assembled to the assembly from the same direction.

[0009] A shift device according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is a shift device according to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention, comprising a biasing body that is attached to the assembly and biases the shift body toward the shift position. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] In the shift device according to the first aspect of the present invention, an assembly is provided on the vehicle body side. Furthermore, the shift body is moved, changing the shift position, and the moving part is also moved. In addition, the relative position between the moving part and the detection mechanism is detected, and the moved position of the shift body is detected.

[0011] Here, the shift body, moving part, and detection mechanism are assembled into the assembly. As a result, the relative positional accuracy between the shift body, moving part, and detection mechanism can be increased, and the detection accuracy of the shift body's movement position can be increased.

[0012] In the shift device of the second aspect of the present invention, the shift body and the moving part are separate components. Therefore, the amount of movement of the shift body and the amount of movement of the moving part can be adjusted.

[0013] In the shift device according to the third aspect of the present invention, the shift body, the moving part, and the detection mechanism are assembled to the assembly from the same direction. Therefore, the shift body, the moving part, and the detection mechanism can be easily assembled to the assembly.

[0014] In the shift device according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the biasing member biases the shift body toward the shift position.

[0015] Here, the biasing element is attached to the assembly. This allows for high relative positional accuracy between the shift element and the biasing element, and thus high accuracy in the biased position of the shift element by the biasing element. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0017] [First Embodiment] Figure 1(A) shows a perspective view of the entire shift device 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the right rear. In the drawing, the front of the shift device 10 is indicated by the arrow FR, the left side of the shift device 10 is indicated by the arrow LH, and the top of the shift device 10 is indicated by the arrow UP.

[0018] The shift device 10 according to this embodiment is attached to a console (not shown) on the vehicle body side of a vehicle (automobile). The front, left, and upper sides of the shift device 10 are directed toward the front, left, and upper sides of the vehicle, respectively.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1(A), the shift device 10 is provided with a resin-made, substantially rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped plate 12 as an installation body. The plate 12 is attached inside the console, and the shift device 10 is installed on the vehicle. Also, the upper wall of the plate 12 is exposed into the vehicle interior through the console.

[0020] A substantially rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped main plate 12A as an assembly is provided on the left side portion of the plate 12, and the inside of the main plate 12A is open on the right side. A substantially rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped sub-plate 12B as a covering body is provided on the right side portion of the plate 12, and the inside of the sub-plate 12B is open on the left side. The plate 12 is configured by assembling the main plate 12A and the sub-plate 12B in the left-right direction. The front end portion, rear end portion, and lower end portion of the sub-plate 12B are fastened to the front wall, rear wall, and lower wall of the main plate 12A by assembly screws 14, respectively.

[0021] On the left surface inside the main plate 12A (see FIGS. 2(A) and (B)), a substantially columnar support shaft 16 as a support portion is integrally provided at a lower and central portion in the front-rear direction. The support shaft 16 protrudes to the right. On the left surface inside the main plate 12A, a substantially columnar assembly shaft 18 as an assembly portion is integrally provided at a front and middle portion in the up-down direction. The assembly shaft 18 protrudes to the right. On the left surface inside the main plate 12A, at the front side of the assembly shaft 18, a substantially rectangular plate-shaped assembly claw 20 as a locking portion is integrally provided. The assembly claw 20 protrudes to the right and is arranged perpendicular to the front-rear direction. The tip portion of the assembly claw 2 is formed in a right-angled triangular cross-sectional shape and protrudes to the rear side. The left surface of the tip portion of the assembly claw 20 is perpendicular to the left-right direction.

[0022] On the front wall of the main plate 12A, a roughly rectangular column-shaped front restrictor column 22A is integrally provided in the middle of the vertical direction as a restrictor, and the front restrictor column 22A protrudes to the right and extends in the front-rear direction. On the rear wall of the main plate 12A, a roughly rectangular column-shaped rear restrictor column 22B is integrally provided in the middle of the vertical direction as a restrictor, and the rear restrictor column 22B protrudes to the right and extends in the front-rear direction. On the lower wall of the main plate 12A, a roughly rectangular column-shaped lower restrictor column 22C is integrally provided at the front, and the lower restrictor column 22C protrudes to the right and extends in the vertical direction.

[0023] A block-shaped nodal block 24, which serves as a biasing body constituting the biasing mechanism, is fixed to the upper part of the inner left wall of the main plate 12A, and a nodal surface 24A, which serves as a biasing surface, is formed on the lower surface of the nodal block 24. The nodal surface 24A has a roughly inverted V-shape in cross-section, and the interior of the nodal surface 24A is open to the lower and right sides, and is inclined upwards as it moves from the front and rear ends toward the center in the front-rear direction.

[0024] A roughly rectangular columnar lever 26 (see Figure 2(A)) is assembled inside the main plate 12A as a shift mechanism. The lower end of the lever 26 is fitted through and through the support shaft 16 of the main plate 12A, and the lever 26 is rotatable (movable) in the front-rear direction around the support shaft 16. The lever 26 is rotatably inserted through the upper wall of the main plate 12A, and a roughly rectangular parallelepiped knob 26A is provided on the upper part of the lever 26 as an operating part. The lever 26 can be rotated by the vehicle occupant (especially the driver) at the knob 26A, and when the lever 26 is rotated, the shift position of the lever 26 is changed from the front to the rear to the R position (reverse position), H position (home position), and D position (drive position).

[0025] A roughly bottomed cylindrical stopper cylinder 28 (see Figure 6), which serves as a guide member constituting the biasing mechanism, is integrally provided on the lower left side of the lever 26. The stopper cylinder 28 is oriented vertically and its interior is open upwards. A roughly cylindrical stopper pin 30 (see Figure 6), which serves as a biasing member constituting the biasing mechanism, is coaxially inserted and fitted inside the stopper cylinder 28. The stopper pin 30 is guided by the stopper cylinder 28 and is movable vertically, with its tip surface (upper end surface) protruding in a roughly hemispherical shape. A spring (not shown) is inserted inside the stopper cylinder 28 as a biasing part constituting the biasing mechanism, and the spring is a compression coil spring. The spring is stretched between the bottom wall (lower wall) of the damping cylinder 28 and the base end surface (lower end surface) of the damping pin 30, biasing the damping pin 30 toward the tip. The tip surface of the damping pin 30 is in contact with the center in the front-rear direction of the damping surface 24A of the damping block 24 due to the biasing force of the spring. As a result, the lever 26 is biased toward the H position and held in the H position. When the rotational force applied to the lever 26 is released while the lever 26 has been rotated to a position other than the H position against the biasing force of the spring, the lever 26 is rotated (returned) to the H position due to the biasing force of the spring.

[0026] A roughly fan-shaped gear plate 32 is integrally provided at the lower part of the lever 26 as a connecting part, and the gear plate 32 protrudes forward. Gear teeth 32A (see Figure 6) are formed on the upper part of the gear plate 32, and the gear teeth 32A constitute a gear centered on the pivot point of the main plate 12A.

[0027] A roughly cylindrical magnet body 34 (see Figure 2(A)) is assembled inside the main plate 12A as a movable part. The mounting shaft 18 of the main plate 12A is inserted and fitted coaxially into the magnet body 34, and the magnet body 34 is made rotatable (movable) around the mounting shaft 18.

[0028] A ring-shaped locking plate 34A is integrally provided on the outer circumference of the magnet body 34 at the midpoint in the left-right direction, and the locking plate 34A protrudes coaxially radially outward from the magnet body 34. When the assembly shaft 18 is inserted into the magnet body 34, the locking plate 34A comes into contact with the tip of the assembly claw 20 of the main plate 12A, causing the assembly claw 20 to elastically deform forward. After that, the locking plate 34A passes over the tip of the assembly claw 20, and the assembly claw 20 elastically returns to its rearward position. As a result, the left side of the tip of the assembly claw 20 locks the movement of the locking plate 34A to the right, and the left side of the main plate 12A locks the movement of the magnet body 34 to the left, thereby locking the movement of the magnet body 34 in the left-right direction.

[0029] A rotating gear 34B (see Figure 6), which serves as the contacted part, is formed coaxially on the left side of the magnet body 34, and the gear teeth 32A of the lever 26 (gear plate 32) mesh with the rotating gear 34B. Therefore, when the lever 26 is rotated, the gear plate 32 rotates together with the lever 26, causing the rotating gear 34B to rotate by the gear teeth 32A, and thus the magnet body 34 rotates. A disc-shaped magnet 34C, which serves as the detected part, is fixed coaxially inside the right side of the magnet body 34, and when the magnet body 34 rotates, the magnet 34C rotates together with the magnet body 34, changing the direction of the magnetic field generated by the magnet 34C.

[0030] A roughly rectangular circuit board 36 (see Figures 1(B) and 2(C)) serving as a detection mechanism is assembled to the right side of the main plate 12A, and the circuit board 36 is positioned vertically in the left-right direction. At the front end of the circuit board 36, a roughly rectangular front regulating hole 36A is formed through the middle of the vertical direction, serving as a restricted area. The front regulating hole 36A extends in the front-rear direction and is open to the front. At the rear end of the circuit board 36, a roughly rectangular rear regulating hole 36B is formed through the middle of the vertical direction, serving as a restricted area. The rear regulating hole 36B extends in the front-rear direction and is open to the rear. At the lower end of the circuit board 36, a roughly rectangular lower regulating hole 36C is formed through the front, serving as a restricted area. The lower regulating hole 36C extends in the vertical direction and is open to the downward.

[0031] The front restricting hole 36A and the rear restricting hole 36B are fitted together vertically with the front restricting column 22A and the rear restricting column 22B of the main plate 12A, respectively. This restricts the vertical movement of the circuit board 36 relative to the front restricting column 22A of the front restricting hole 36A and the rear restricting column 22B of the rear restricting hole 36B, thereby restricting the vertical movement of the circuit board 36. The lower restricting column 22C of the main plate 12A is inserted into the lower restricting hole 36C and fitted together vertically. This restricts the vertical movement of the circuit board 36 relative to the lower restricting column 22C of the lower restricting hole 36C, thereby restricting the vertical movement of the circuit board 36.

[0032] A restricting screw 38, acting as a restricting member, penetrates the front and lower portion of the circuit board 36 from the right side. The restricting screw 38 is screwed into the front wall of the main plate 12A, thereby fastening the circuit board 36 to the main plate 12A. The head of the restricting screw 38 abuts against the front, rear, and lower walls of the main plate 12A, thereby restricting the lateral movement of the circuit board 36.

[0033] A magnetic sensor (not shown) is provided on the front and upper part of the circuit board 36 as a detection unit. The magnetic sensor is positioned opposite the magnet 34C of the magnet body 34 in the left-right direction and detects the direction of the magnetic field generated by the magnet 34C. As a result, the magnetic sensor detects the rotational position of the magnet 34C, which in turn detects the rotational position of the magnet body 34, thereby detecting the rotational position of the lever 26 and the shift position of the lever 26.

[0034] Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

[0035] When the shift device 10 with the above configuration is assembled, the detent block 24 is attached from the right to the upper part of the left inner wall of the main plate 12A on the plate 12. The support shaft 16 of the main plate 12A is then passed from the right to the lower end of the lever 26 (including the detent pin 30 and spring), and the tip surface of the detent pin 30 comes into contact with the detent surface 24A of the detent block 24 due to the biasing force of the spring.

[0036] Subsequently, the assembly shaft 18 of the main plate 12A is inserted into the magnet body 34 (including the magnet 34C) from the right, and the rotating gear 34B of the magnet body 34 meshes with the gear teeth 32A of the lever 26 (gear plate 32), while the left side of the tip of the assembly claw 20 abuts against the right side of the locking plate 34A of the magnet body 34. Then, the front regulating column 22A, rear regulating column 22B, and lower regulating column 22C of the main plate 12A are inserted into the front regulating hole 36A, rear regulating hole 36B, and lower regulating hole 36C of the circuit board 36 (including the magnetic sensor) from the right, respectively, and the circuit board 36 is fastened to the main plate 12A from the right by the regulating screw 38.

[0037] Finally, the subplate 12B is fastened to the main plate 12A from the right side by the assembly screws 14.

[0038] Here, the lever 26, the magnet body 34, and the circuit board 36 are assembled on the same main plate 12A. As a result, the relative positional accuracy between the lever 26, the magnet body 34 (magnet 34C), and the circuit board 36 (magnetic sensor) can be increased, the detection accuracy of the rotational position of the lever 26 can be increased, and the detection accuracy of the shift position of the lever 26 can be increased.

[0039] Furthermore, the lever 26 and the magnet body 34 (magnet 34C) are separate components. This allows for adjustment of the amount of rotation of the lever 26 and the amount of rotation of the magnet body 34 (magnet 34C). In particular, in this embodiment, the amount of rotation of the magnet body 34 (magnet 34C) is amplified relative to the amount of rotation of the lever 26. As a result, the detection accuracy of the rotation position of the lever 26 can be increased by the magnetic sensor detecting the rotation position of the magnet 34C, the detection accuracy of the shift position of the lever 26 can be increased, and the rotation range of the lever 26 (amount of rotation between shift positions) can be reduced. Moreover, since the diameter of the magnet body 34 is reduced, the diameter of the magnet 34C can be reduced, which reduces costs and allows for miniaturization of the plate 12.

[0040] Furthermore, the joint block 24 (including the joint surface 24A) and the lever 26 (including the joint pin 30 and spring) are assembled on the same main plate 12A. As a result, the relative positional accuracy between the lever 26 (including the joint pin 30 and spring) and the joint block 24 (including the joint surface 24A) can be increased, the accuracy of the biasing position (H position) of the lever 26 by the joint surface 24A, the joint pin 30 and spring can be increased, and the accuracy of the holding position (H position) of the lever 26 can be increased.

[0041] Furthermore, the detent block 24, lever 26, magnet body 34, and circuit board 36 are assembled to the main plate 12A from the right (same direction). This allows for easy assembly of the detent block 24, lever 26, magnet body 34, and circuit board 36 to the main plate 12A. Moreover, the sub-plate 12B is assembled to the main plate 12A from the right. This allows for easy assembly of the shift device 10.

[0042] [Second Embodiment] Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the shift device 50 according to the second embodiment of the present invention, viewed from the right rear.

[0043] The shift device 50 according to this embodiment has substantially the same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, but differs in the following respects.

[0044] As shown in Figure 3, in the shift device 50 according to this embodiment, a roughly rectangular box-shaped main plate 12A is provided on the lower part of the plate 12, and the inside of the main plate 12A is open to the top. A roughly rectangular box-shaped sub-plate 12B is provided on the upper part of the plate 12, and the inside of the sub-plate 12B is open to the bottom. The plate 12 is constructed by assembling the main plate 12A and the sub-plate 12B in the vertical direction.

[0045] On the lower surface of the main plate 12A (see Figures 5(A) and (B)), a roughly rectangular columnar support hole 52 is formed in the middle of the front-to-back direction, serving as a support part, and the support hole 52 is open upward. On the lower surface of the main plate 12A, at the front, a pair of roughly U-shaped plate-shaped assembly plates 54 (see Figures 4(A) and (B)) are integrally provided, serving as assembly parts. The assembly plates 54 protrude upward and are arranged vertically in the left-to-right direction. The pair of assembly plates 54 are spaced apart from each other in the left-to-right direction and face each other. The left assembly plate 54 is integral with the front wall and left wall of the main plate 12A, and the right assembly plate 54 is integral with the front wall of the main plate 12A. The inside of the assembly plates 54 is open upward, and the lower surface inside the assembly plates 54 is recessed downward in a roughly arc-shaped cross-section.

[0046] A rectangular cross-sectional regulating groove 56 is formed on the front, rear, and bottom surfaces of the main plate 12A at its rightmost end, and the regulating groove 56 is located to the right of the support hole 52 and the pair of assembly plates 54. The front and rear portions of the regulating groove 56 extend in the vertical direction and are open upward, while the lower portion of the regulating groove 56 extends in the front-rear direction and is in communication with the front and rear portions of the regulating groove 56.

[0047] The lower end of the lever 26 (see Figures 4(A) and 4(B), and Figure 6) is approximately cylindrical, and is inserted into the support hole 52 of the main plate 12A and fitted in the front-rear and left-right directions. As a result, the lever 26 is rotatable in the front-rear direction around its lower end, and the lever 26 rotatably penetrates the upper wall of the subplate 12B.

[0048] A joint cylinder 28 is integrally provided on the front and rear sides of the lower part of the lever 26. The front joint cylinder 28 is positioned parallel to the front and diagonally upward in its axial direction, with its interior open to the front and diagonally upward, while the rear joint cylinder 28 is positioned parallel to the rear and diagonally upward in its axial direction, with its interior open to the rear and diagonally upward. A joint pin 30 and a spring are inserted inside the joint cylinder 28. The front joint pin 30 is biased diagonally upward and forward by the front spring, and the rear joint pin 30 is biased diagonally upward and rear by the rear spring.

[0049] Detachment blocks 24 are fixed to the front and rear of the subplate 12B. The front detachment pin 30 is opposed to the detachment surface 24A of the front detachment block 24, and the rear detachment pin 30 is opposed to the detachment surface 24A of the rear detachment block 24. The tip surface of the front detachment pin 30 is in contact with the center of the front detachment surface 24A in the front-rear direction due to the biasing force of the front spring, and the tip surface of the rear detachment pin 30 is in contact with the center of the rear detachment surface 24A in the front-rear direction due to the biasing force of the rear spring. As a result, the lever 26 is biased toward the H position and held in the H position.

[0050] A gear plate 32 is integrally provided on the front side of the front detent cylinder 28 of the lever 26. The gear plate 32 protrudes forward and has gear teeth 32A formed on its upper side.

[0051] The left and right ends of the magnet body 34 (see Figures 4(A) and 4(B), and Figure 6) are inserted into the left and right assembly plates 54 of the main plate 12A, respectively. The left and right ends of the magnet body 34 abut against the lower surfaces of the left and right assembly plates 54, respectively, and the left and right ends of the magnet body 34 are fitted into the left and right assembly plates 54 in the front-to-back direction. The locking projections (not shown) of the subplate 12B abut against the left and right ends of the magnet body 34, respectively, thereby preventing the magnet body 34 from moving upward. The locking plate 34A of the magnet body 34 abuts against the right assembly plate 54, preventing it from moving to the right, and the left end face of the magnet body 34 abuts against the left wall of the main plate 12A, preventing it from moving to the left, thereby preventing the magnet body 34 from moving left-to-right.

[0052] The front, rear, and lower ends of the circuit board 36 (see Figures 4(A) and 4(B), and Figure 6) are inserted into the front, rear, and lower parts of the restricting groove 56 of the main plate 12A, respectively, and the circuit board 36 is fitted into the restricting groove 56 in the left-right direction. The lower end surface of the circuit board 36 is in contact with the lower surface of the restricting groove 56, and the front and rear end surfaces of the circuit board 36 are in contact with the front and rear surfaces of the restricting groove 56, respectively. The subplate 12B is in contact with the upper end surface of the circuit board 36, thereby preventing the circuit board 36 from moving upward.

[0053] Incidentally, when the shift device 50 with the above configuration is assembled, the lower end of the lever 26 (including the detent pin 30 and spring) is inserted from above into the support hole 52 of the main plate 12A in the plate 12. Also, the left end and right end of the magnet body 34 (including the magnet 34C) are inserted from above into the left and right mounting plates 54 of the main plate 12A, respectively, so that the right side of the locking plate 34A of the magnet body 34 abuts against the left side of the right mounting plate 54, the left end surface of the magnet body 34 abuts against the left wall of the main plate 12A, and the rotating gear 34B of the magnet body 34 meshes with the gear teeth 32A of the lever 26 (gear plate 32). Furthermore, the circuit board 36 (including the magnetic sensor) is inserted from above into the regulating groove 56 of the main plate 12A.

[0054] Finally, the subplate 12B is assembled onto the main plate 12A from above. As a result, the tip surface of the stopper pin 30 comes into contact with the stopper surface 24A of the stopper block 24 of the subplate 12B due to the biasing force of the spring, the locking projection of the subplate 12B comes into contact with the left and right ends of the magnet body 34, and the subplate 12B comes into contact with the upper end surface of the circuit board 36.

[0055] In this embodiment, the same functions and effects as in the first embodiment can be achieved, except for the functions and effects resulting from the assembly of the restraint block 24 onto the main plate 12A.

[0056] In particular, the lever 26, magnet body 34, and circuit board 36 are assembled to the main plate 12A from above (same direction). Therefore, the lever 26, magnet body 34, and circuit board 36 can be easily assembled to the main plate 12A. Furthermore, the sub-plate 12B is assembled to the main plate 12A from above. Therefore, the shift device 50 can be easily assembled.

[0057] In the first and second embodiments described above, the lever 26 and the magnet 34C are separate components. However, the magnet 34C (movable part) may be integrated with the lever 26.

[0058] Furthermore, in the first and second embodiments described above, the lever 26 is rotated. However, the lever 26 may slide or rotate (move) around its central axis.

[0059] Furthermore, in the first and second embodiments described above, the shift devices 10 and 50 are installed on the vehicle's console. However, the shift devices 10 and 50 may also be installed on other parts of the vehicle (such as the instrument panel or steering column on the vehicle body side). [Explanation of Symbols]
