Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to an opener device for an automobile, and mainly relates to a trunk opener device or a back door opener device.

For example, a trunk opener device (as well as a back door opener device) has a cylinder lock near the locking mechanism and an opener handle near the driver's seat.

The cylinder lock can be unlocked by operating either a key inserted into the cylinder lock or an opener handle.

However, the locking mechanism of the trunk opener device is connected to a rod (operating cable) that connects to a cylinder lock that releases the locking mechanism, and a cable (operating cable) that connects to the opener handle.

That is, the locking mechanism is provided with both a part that is released by key operation and a part that is released by the dowel opener handle.

Therefore, if the locking mechanism is large and complicated, and the locking mechanism and cylinder lock are located relatively far apart in the vehicle width direction, the operating cable of the cylinder lock and the operating cable of the opener handle may Since they were lined up in two rows, the total length of the operating cable for transmitting the release of the lock mechanism was correspondingly longer.

The present invention was made in view of the above, and its purpose is to connect the other end of the operating cable connected to the opener handle to the key lever of the cylinder lock, and to make the cylinder lock part a common release operating body. In this way, the locking mechanism can be simplified and the opener operation cable can be shortened, thereby providing an automobile opener device that is highly durable, compact, and inexpensive.

This invention basically requires not only key operation but also opener operation.
In an automobile opener device in which a locking mechanism can be released by operating a handle, the locking lever of the locking mechanism and the key lever of a cylinder lock are connected by an operating cable, and the key lever of the cylinder lock and the opener handle are guided from each other. The key lever of the cylinder lock is used as a common operation part.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a trunk opener device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows its main parts.

In the figure, 1 is a trunk opening edge of a vehicle body, and 2 is a trunk lid. The trunk lid 2 is rotatably attached to the upper part of the trunk opening edge 1 via a hinge 3 so that it can be opened and closed.

4a is a latch plate that is pivotally supported 8 on a base plate (not shown) of a locking mechanism 4 provided at the center of the vehicle body 1 in the vehicle width direction, and 4b is a latch plate that is connected to and disengages from the latch plate 4a. The striker 15 of the locking mechanism 4 provided at the center in the direction is a cylinder lock, and this cylinder lock is disposed at a location slightly apart from the locking mechanism 4 in the vehicle width direction in relation to the license number plate and the like.

6 is an opener handle disposed near the driver's seat; 7a is a locking lever 4C that is pivoted on the base plate of the locking mechanism 4; a locking lever 4C that engages and disengages from the latch plate 4a; and a key lever 13 that is pivoted on the tip of the cylinder lock 5. 7b is a second operating cable that connects the key lever 13 of the cylinder lock 5 and the opener handle 6, and the inner wire is slid onto the outer cable. It can be inserted freely.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a tension coil spring 12 is installed between the latch play 1-43 of the locking mechanism 4 and the locking lever 4C, and the locking lever 4C tensions the first operating cable 7a. When the locking lever 4C and the latch plate 11a are disengaged, the latch plate 4a and the striker 4b are disengaged, and the locking mechanism 4 is released.

One end of the first operating cable 7a is connected to the key lever 1 of the cylinder lock 5.
Connected to 3.

A second operating cable 7b connected to the opener handle 6 is connected to this key lever 13.

Therefore, the key lever 13 is common, and by operating the opener handle 6, the operating cable 7b connected thereto is operated, and the key lever 13 is rotated in the direction of the arrow. The operating cable 7a connected thereto is pulled and the locking lever 4C is rotated in the same direction (in the direction of the arrow).

At this time, locking lever 4C and latch play h4a
At the same time, the latch plate 4a and the striker 4b are disengaged from each other, the locking mechanism 4 is released, and the lid 2 is opened.

On the other hand, when a key is inserted into the key hole 14 of the cylinder lock 5 and operated, only the key lever 13 rotates in the direction of the arrow to pull the operating cable 7a and actuate the locking lever 4c. The lid 2 can be opened by releasing the lock from the lid 4b, and unlocking can also be performed by a so-called normal key operation.

When unlocking with this key, the key lever 13 to which the operating cable 7b is connected is made into a vertically elongated hole 15, so that the operating cable 7b does not move.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 shows a play 1-13 that connects the key lever 13 of the cylinder lock 5 to the locking lever 4C via the operating cable 7a.
A and a plate 13b connected to the opener handle 6 via the operating cable 7b, each plate 13a,
13b are operatively connected by hooks 16.

The operation of this embodiment is similar to the previous embodiment.

In the above embodiment, the locking mechanism 4 is provided on the vehicle body side and the striker 4b is provided on the trunk lid 2 side.
Conversely, the present invention can be similarly applied to a case where the lock mechanism 4 is provided on the trunk lid 2 side and the striker 4b is provided on the vehicle body side.

In this case, a cylinder lock 5 is provided at a position spaced apart in the vehicle width direction from the lock mechanism 4 on the trunk lid 2 side, and the operating cables 7 a and 7 b are similarly connected thereto.

Further, although the above embodiment shows a trunk opener device, it can be similarly applied to a back door opener device.

As explained in the embodiments above, according to the present invention, the operating cable led from the opener handle is connected to the key lever of the cylinder lock, so the locking mechanism is simplified.

In other words, the operating cable connected to the opener handle is not directly connected to the locking mechanism, but is connected to the locking mechanism via the cylinder lock, and the locking mechanism and the cylinder lock are connected to the operating cable, and the cylinder lock is connected to the operating cable. 4 as a common operating part.

Therefore, the structure of the locking mechanism can be simplified, the length of the operating cable can be significantly shortened, and it is possible to provide an automobile opener device that is highly durable, has a compact locking mechanism, and is inexpensive. It is.
