Description

The present invention is, for example, activates the mover of the vehicle engine or motor or the like, or relates to a starter switch for stopping.

  A so-called “ignition switch” is often used as a switch for starting and stopping a motor of a vehicle such as an engine or a motor. The ignition switch includes, for example, a key cylinder provided in the vicinity of the steering wheel of the vehicle. An ignition key that is also used as a key for locking the vehicle door from the outside of the vehicle can be inserted into the key cylinder, and the ignition key is inserted into the key cylinder so that a certain angle around the axis of the key cylinder By rotating the ignition key as described above, for example, the cell motor is driven and the engine is started.

  On the other hand, in recent years, a so-called keyless entry system that can unlock a door without inserting an ignition key into a key cylinder provided in the door has been adopted, and an example thereof is disclosed in Patent Document 1 below. .

  In a keyless entry system, when a controller capable of transmitting and receiving radio waves approaches the vehicle, the radio wave including a unique ID code transmitted from the controller is received by a transceiver provided in the vehicle, and the radio wave transmitted from the controller is received. When it is determined that the radio wave corresponds to the vehicle (that is, the radio wave transmitted from the vehicle controller), the door is unlocked.

  In vehicles using such a keyless entry system, if you have a controller, you can open and close the door smoothly without having to remove the controller and ignition key from the bag or clothing pocket. There is.

  When such a keyless entry system is further developed and the vehicle is boarded with the controller, the vehicle transceiver that receives the radio wave from the controller makes the vehicle engine startable, and in the engine startable state, A system has also been devised in which the engine can be started simply by pressing a switch provided in the vehicle compartment.

In such a system, it is not necessary to take out the controller or the ignition key from the bag or the pocket of clothes until the user gets on the vehicle, starts the engine and runs, and further stops the engine and gets off.

  Thus, in order to insert the ignition key into the key cylinder or to activate the motor of the vehicle without operating the controller, it is provided in the interior of the vehicle, for example, in the instrument panel in front of the driver's seat as described above. The starter switch is pressed.

  Various operation switches provided on the instrument panel of the vehicle including such a starter switch are provided with indicators and the like, and the switch itself and the vicinity of the switch emit light, and the location of the switch is occupant. It has a structure to guide to.

  However, when the starter switch is simply configured to emit light in the system as described above, the starter switch is caused to emit light when the occupant gets on the vehicle, or the starter switch is activated when the starter is allowed to start. It is possible to emit light.

  As described above, when the occupant gets on the vehicle, the control device on the vehicle side receives the radio wave transmitted from the controller, and the control means determines that the occupant having the controller may activate the engine. The engine can be started by pressing the starter switch. Therefore, in the configuration in which the starter switch emits light when the occupant gets on, the starter switch emits light when the occupant gets on, so it is not known whether or not the engine can be activated.

  On the other hand, even when the starter switch is configured to emit light in the startable state of the engine, for example, when the operation switch other than the starter switch is configured to emit light in the passenger's boarding state, the starter switch Even if the light is emitted, there is a possibility that the starter switch emits light because the occupant got on.

An object of the present invention is to obtain a starter switch that can easily determine a change in the state of a vehicle.

The starter switch according to the first aspect of the present invention is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape having a bottom portion through which light can be transmitted and a predetermined mark is provided at an end portion on the vehicle interior side, and is energized.

Further, when the lock of the door is released as light emission means you emitting light emitting means is energized by the control means.

  Thus, an occupant who has entered the vehicle with the door opened can easily confirm the position of the switch body and can easily operate the switch body.

On the other hand, when the radio signal output from the operation means possessed by the occupant who has entered the vehicle is input (received) to the control means, the control means changes the vehicle to the motor start permitting state. Further, when the vehicle changes to the starter permitted state of the motor in this way, a current larger than the current that flows to the light emitting means when the door is unlocked is caused to flow to the light emitting means by the control means. As a result, the light emitting means emits light brighter than when the door is unlocked.

  As a result, an occupant who has entered the vehicle can easily recognize that the state of the vehicle is in the motor start allowable state, can easily check the position of the switch body, and can easily operate the switch body to operate the vehicle. You can start the mover.

The starter switch according to a second aspect of the present invention is the starter switch according to the first aspect of the present invention, wherein the starter switch is formed in a cylindrical shape that opens toward the vehicle interior side of the vehicle and is directed toward the opening end side of the vehicle interior side. A housing provided with the light emitting means for emitting light and closing an opening end side of the housing inside the vehicle interior, and light emitted by the light emitting means is incident on the inside of the housing And a projecting surface that refracts the incident light radially inward of the cylindrical portion is formed, and further, the light reflected from the predetermined mark and the slope is refracted in the vehicle compartment in the casing. The switch body includes a reflection film that reflects to the inner opening end side and a bottom portion provided on the inner bottom surface inside the housing .

In the starter switch according to the second aspect of the present invention, when the light emitting means provided inside the casing emits light toward the opening end of the casing on the vehicle interior side, Light is incident on the inside of the bottom portion from the incident surface set at the bottom portion that closes the open end, and the light is refracted radially inward of the cylindrical portion inside the bottom portion. The refracted light is further reflected toward the opening end side of the casing on the vehicle interior side by a reflective film applied together with a predetermined mark on the inner bottom surface (the inner surface of the casing at the bottom). This shines the entire bottom.

As described above, in the starter switch according to the present invention, since the light emission pattern changes when the vehicle state is switched, the change in the vehicle state can be easily determined by visually recognizing the change in the light emission pattern.

As described above, the housing 14 is slidable within a certain range along the opening direction of the housing 42 with respect to the connector 42, and the housing 14 is directed toward the back surface side of the instrument panel 18 (that is, the connector 42 side). When the fixed amount slides, the movable contact 50 comes into contact with the fixed contact 48 and becomes conductive.

  Furthermore, although illustration in FIG. 2 is omitted, instead, as shown in FIG. 1, the casing 14 or the connector 42 (that is, the switch body 12) is provided with a transmission circuit 52 and a reception circuit 54. The transmission circuit 52 and the reception circuit 54 are electrically connected to a control unit 56 as control means provided in the switch body 12.

  The transmission circuit 52 outputs predetermined radio waves (radio signals) such as a door opening request signal and an engine activation permission request signal from the transmission antenna 58 based on a control signal from the control unit 56. Further, the receiving circuit 54 receives predetermined radio waves (wireless signals) such as a door opening ID code signal and an engine activation permission ID code signal output from a transmission circuit 62 provided in a controller 60 as an operation means via a transmission antenna 64. ) Is received by the receiving antenna 66, and electric signals corresponding to these radio waves are input to the control unit 56.

  The controller 60 is, for example, a size that can be held by a passenger of the vehicle 16 with one hand and can be stored in a pocket of the clothes of the passenger, and the controller 60 includes a receiving circuit 68 and a control unit in addition to the transmitting circuit 62. 70.

  The controller 70 of the controller 60 outputs an ID output control signal to the transmission circuit 62. The transmission circuit 62 to which the ID output control signal is input outputs a predetermined radio wave (radio signal) such as the door opening ID code signal or the engine activation permission ID code signal from the transmission antenna 64.

  The receiving circuit 68 receives a predetermined radio wave (radio signal) such as a door opening request signal or an engine start permission request signal output from the transmitting circuit 52 by the receiving antenna 72 and controls an electric signal corresponding to the received radio wave. Input to the unit 70.

Further, the controller 60 has the transponder 74 are mounted on the switch body 12 in correspondence with the transponder 74, receiving circuit 76 is found provided that is electrically connected to the control unit 56.

Further, the control unit 56 is electrically connected to the current control circuit 78. The current control circuit 78 is electrically connected to a battery (not shown) and is also electrically connected to the LED 32 described above. The current control circuit 78 has a size (based on different light emission control signals output from the control unit 56). to flow one of two levels of current of the current value) different currents I1, I2 to LED 32.

  The magnitudes of these currents I1 and I2 are larger than the current I1. Therefore, the LED 32 shines brighter when the current I2 is supplied than when the current I1 is supplied.

  Further, the control unit 56 is electrically connected to an engine control device 80 provided in the vehicle 16. The engine control device 80 is electrically or mechanically connected to a driver or the like (both not shown) for driving the engine of the vehicle 16 and a cell motor for starting the engine. For example, a drive signal is sent to the driver for the cell motor. When output, the cell motor is driven to start the engine.

  The control unit 56 is electrically connected to a door lock device 82 provided in the vehicle 16. The door lock device 82 includes a drive unit such as a motor and a solenoid for driving a latch provided in the vehicle 16 corresponding to a part of the outer periphery of the door panel 84 of the vehicle 16. When output, the door lock device 82 operates the drive unit to unlock the door panel 84.

<Operation and effect of the present embodiment>
Next, the operation and effect of the switch 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

  In this switch 10, the occupant is getting off from the vehicle 16, and further, a control signal is output from the control unit 56 to the transmission circuit 52 in a state where the door panel 84 is locked. Is generated and output from the transmission antenna 58.

  In this state, for example, when an occupant carrying the controller 60 approaches the vehicle 16 within a predetermined range outside the vehicle 16, a door opening request signal is received by the receiving antenna 72 of the controller 60. When the receiving antenna 72 receives the door opening request signal, the receiving circuit 68 outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the door opening request signal.

  When this electrical signal is input to the control unit 70, the control unit 70 outputs a control signal to the transmission circuit 62. When this control signal is input, the transmission circuit 62 generates a door opening ID code signal and outputs it from the transmission antenna 64.

  The door opening ID code signal output from the transmitting antenna 64 is received by the receiving antenna 66, and further, an electric signal corresponding to the door opening ID code signal is output from the receiving circuit 54. This electric signal is input to the control unit 56, and the door opening ID unique to the vehicle 16 set in advance in the control unit 56 and the unique door opening ID preset in the control unit 70 of the controller 60 are input to the control unit 56. Are collated.

  If the door opening ID on the controller 60 side matches the door opening ID of the control unit 56, the control unit 56 outputs an opening signal to the door lock device 82, unlocks the door panel 84 and releases it. Put it in a locked state.

  As described above, if the door opening ID on the controller 60 side matches the door opening ID of the control unit 56, a control signal corresponding to the unlocked state is output to the current control circuit 78. The current control circuit 78 to which this control signal is input causes the current I1 to flow through the LED 32.

  As a result, the LED 32 emits light, and the light emitted from the LED 32 enters the slope 34 of the bottom portion 26. The light incident on the slope 34 is refracted. The light refracted in this way travels toward the center of the bottom portion 26 while being reflected by the outer surface 28, the inner bottom surface 36, and the reflection film 38. Thereby, the whole bottom part 26 shines.

  In the unlocked state as described above, the door panel 84 can be rotated to open the entrance / exit of the vehicle 16, and an occupant can get into the vehicle 16 through the opened entrance / exit.

  Even if the door opening ID code signal output from the transmission circuit 62 of the controller 60 via the transmission antenna 64 is received by the reception antenna 66, the door opening specific to the vehicle 16 set in the control unit 56 in advance is set. When the ID and the unique door opening ID preset in the control unit 70 of the controller 60 do not match, the control unit 56 does not output an opening signal for unlocking the door panel 84.

  Therefore, for example, even if the vehicle type of the vehicle 16 is the same, but the owner of the vehicle 16 is different, the door panel 84 is locked even if the person who owns the controller 60 approaches the vehicle 16. Is maintained.

  Here, when the door panel 84 is unlocked and the entrance / exit is opened and an occupant gets into the vehicle 16, the bottom portion 26 of the switch body 12 shines as described above, and further, the bottom portion 26 shines. The characters and design on the marking 40 can be easily visually confirmed. Thereby, the occupant who got into the vehicle 16 can easily recognize the position of the switch 10 for starting the engine.

  Next, when the occupant enters the vehicle 16 as described above and the receiving antenna 66 is located within a certain range with respect to the transmitting antenna 64, the transmission circuit 52 generates the signal based on the control signal output from the control unit 56. Then, the engine activation permission request signal output from the transmission antenna 58 is received by the reception antenna 72, and an electric signal corresponding to the engine activation permission request signal is input from the reception circuit 68 to the control unit 70.

  The control unit 70 to which this electric signal is input outputs a predetermined control signal. The transmission circuit 62 to which this control signal is input generates an engine start permission ID code signal and outputs it from the transmission antenna 64.

  The reception circuit 54 that has received the engine activation permission ID code signal by the receiving antenna 66 outputs an electrical signal corresponding to the engine activation permission ID code signal. In the control unit 56 to which the electric signal is input, the engine start permission ID unique to the vehicle 16 set in advance in the control unit 56 and the unique engine start permission ID set in advance in the control unit 70 of the controller 60 are controlled. The unit 56 collates.

  If the engine start permission ID on the controller 60 side matches the engine start permission ID of the control unit 56, the control unit 56 enters the engine start permission state. In this engine start permission state, the occupant presses the bottom portion 26 to move the housing 14, and when the movable contact 50 comes into contact with the fixed contact 48 and becomes conductive, a drive signal is output from the control unit 56.

  The drive signal output from the control unit 56 is input to the driver of the engine control device 80. The driver to which the drive signal has been input drives the cell motor for starting the engine, thereby starting the engine.

  Even if the engine activation permission ID code signal output from the transmission circuit 62 of the controller 60 via the transmission antenna 64 is received by the reception antenna 66, the engine unique to the vehicle 16 set in the control unit 56 in advance. When the activation permission ID and the unique engine activation permission ID preset in the control unit 70 of the controller 60 do not match, the casing 14 slides and the movable contact 50 comes into contact with the fixed contact 48 and becomes conductive. However, no drive signal is output from the control unit 56.

  Accordingly, as described above, the controller 60 in which the engine start permission ID unique to the vehicle 16 set in the control unit 56 in advance matches the unique engine start permission ID preset in the control unit 70 of the controller 60, That is, if the controller 60 having a function as a conventional ignition key is possessed, the vehicle 16 can be started by starting the engine as described above.

  On the other hand, the engine 60 permission ID unique to the vehicle 16 set in advance in the control unit 56 and the unique engine start permission ID set in advance in the control unit 70 of the controller 60 do not match, for example, driving If the vehicle has a dedicated controller 60 for a passenger other than the hand, the vehicle 16 can be boarded, but the engine cannot be started.

  Thereby, for example, by having the boarding-dedicated controller 60, an occupant carrying the boarding-only controller 60 can get on the vehicle 16 even if the driver is away from the vehicle 16. In addition, since the engine cannot be started by the boarding controller 60, even if the person who has the boarding controller 60 gets on the vehicle 16, the engine does not start even if the bottom portion 26 is pressed. .

  As described above, when the engine start permission ID on the controller 60 side matches the engine start permission ID of the control unit 56, a control signal corresponding to the engine start permission state is sent to the current control circuit 78. Output. The current control circuit 78 to which this control signal is input causes the current I2 to flow through the LED 32.

  Thereby, the LED 32 emits light more brightly than the state where the current I1 is flowing. The light emitted from the LED 32 is incident on the slope 34 of the bottom portion 26. As a result, the light whose entire bottom portion 26 is incident on the inclined surface 34 is refracted and travels toward the center of the bottom portion 26 as described above. As a result, the entire bottom portion 26 shines brighter than the state in which the current I1 is supplied to the LED 32.

  Thus, the bottom portion 26 shines brighter in the engine start permitting state than in the unlocked state. That is, the state of the vehicle 16 is switched from the unlocked state to the engine start allowable state, and the light emission pattern changes from the light emission pattern in the unlocked state accordingly. Thereby, the passenger | crew of the vehicle 16 can recognize easily that it became the engine starting permission state.

  Furthermore, even if the occupant who got into the vehicle 16 does not notice that the bottom 26 shines when the door is opened, the occupant can shine brighter than the unlocked state when the engine is allowed to start. Can be easily confirmed, and the pressing operation of the bottom portion 26, that is, the engine starting operation can be smoothly performed.

  Further, for example, the present embodiment has a configuration in which the bottom portion 26 that is a pressing portion shines, as compared with a configuration in which only a light emitter or the like provided in the vicinity of a conventional pressing portion shines. For this reason, the pressing position when starting the engine can be recognized more easily, and in this sense, the engine can be started smoothly.

As described above, the present embodiment has a configuration in which the two-stage currents I1 and I2 flow through the LED 32 in the unlocked state and the engine start allowable state. However, the current value of the current flowing through the LED 32 is not limited to two stages. For example, when it is detected by a sensor or the like that the interior of the vehicle 16 is dark at night or the like (that is, it is less than a certain brightness), the indoor lamp is turned on, or the headlamp switch is operated, etc. In addition, a current I3 larger than the current I2 is supplied to the LED 32 in the locked state, and a current I4 larger than the current I3 is supplied to the LED 32 in the engine start allowable state. May be set.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the light emission pattern is merely changed between the unlocked state and the engine start allowable state as described above. However, for example, when a voice guidance system is connected to the control unit 56 and the unlocked state is changed to the engine start allowable state, the light emission pattern is changed and the change to the engine start allowable state is guided by voice. A guide system other than the light emission pattern may be combined.

  Furthermore, although this Embodiment was the structure which used the switch for vehicles which concerns on this invention as the starter switch 10 of an engine, this invention is not limited to the starter switch 10 of an engine, As other switches The present invention may be applied.
