- the bar 172 is unlocked.
- the lock bar 172 moves by being pushed toward the inside of the buckle 100 by the opening-side surface of the operation recess 186.
- the cantilever 160 and the ejector 150 are also moved inward of the buckle 100. Thereby, the ejector spring 170 is compressed.
- the lock bar 172 comes into contact with the curved edge of the guide hole 132 as illustrated in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 5C, the lock bar 172 rises along the curved edge of the guide hole 132 while being pushed by the opening-side surface of the operation recess 186.
- the cantilever 160 is rotated clockwise around the shaft portion 162 and tilted.
- the height position of the spring holding protrusion 166 is positioned closer to the bottom wall of the frame 120 than the height position of the spring latching protrusion 148 of the latch member 140. Therefore, the ejector spring 170 has a shape curved in an S shape.
- the end surface S2 of the ejector spring 170 rotates the latch member 140 clockwise about the support arm 144 (see FIG. 2) via the spring latching convex portion 148. Thereby, the latch protrusion 142 of the latch member 140 is lifted from the latch hole 104 of the tongue plate 102, and the latch of the tongue plate 102 is released.
- the end surface S1 of the ejector spring 170 presses the cantilever 160 toward the opening. Therefore, when the latch of the tongue plate 102 is released, as shown in FIG. 5D, the cantilever 160 and the ejector spring 170 are vigorously slid toward the opening by the ejector spring 170. As a result, the tongue plate 102 is pushed out from the tongue insertion port 114. When the occupant releases the release button 180, the opening side surface of the operation recess 186 is pushed to the opening side by the lock bar 172 that receives the repulsive force of the ejector spring 170, and the release button 180 is moved to the opening side. And the buckle 100 returns to the initial state illustrated in FIG.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram comparing the seat belt buckle device according to the present embodiment and the seat belt buckle device of the comparative example.
- the buckle 100 according to the present embodiment includes a counterweight 200 having a first notch 208 on the second rotating shaft 204.
- the second rotating shaft 14 of the counterweight 10 of the comparative example has a circular cross section.
- the second rotation shaft 204 of this embodiment is in contact with the substantially vertical plane of the bearing groove 192 of the release button 180 by the first cutout portion 208.
- the second rotation shaft 204 of the present embodiment has the same sliding distance of the release button 180, but has the first cutout portion 208, so that the second rotation shaft 204 moves to the right in FIG. The moving distance is short.
- the amount by which the counterweight 200 of this embodiment rotates about the first rotation shaft 202 is smaller than the amount by which the counterweight 10 of the comparative example rotates about the first rotation shaft 12. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the jumping height of the counterweight 200 is lower than the jumping height of the counterweight 10 by the height h.
- the counterweight 200 is also provided with the second notch portion 210, when the first rotation shaft 202 and the second rotation shaft 204 are positioned substantially perpendicularly, the counterweight 200 is substantially perpendicular to the center of the second rotation shaft 204.
- the distance from one point on the lower second notch 210 is the distance between the center of the second rotating shaft 14 and one point on the substantially lower circumference (distance D4 in FIG. 3). It is shorter.
- a gap is provided between the bearing groove 192 and interference with the bearing groove 192 is reduced. Thereby, the release button 180 can be smoothly slid.
- the buckle 100 needs only a narrow space for allowing the counterweight 200 to rotate, and the thickness of the exterior case 110 (the thickness in the Z1 direction and the Z2 direction in FIG. 1). It is possible to design a smaller device by reducing the thickness of the device.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the contact between the counterweight 200 and the release button 180 in the latched state.
- FIG. 7 shows an enlarged view of the counterweight 200 in the buckle 100 in the latched state of FIG.
- the counterweight 200 functions as a weight that rotates and resists sliding of the release button 180.
- the second rotating shaft 204 of the counterweight 200 contacts the bearing groove 192 of the release button 180 on the outer peripheral surface other than the missing portions (respective cutout portions 208 and 210).
- the second rotation shaft 204 illustrated in FIG. 7 can contact the bearing groove 192 at the contact points P1 and P2 schematically illustrated.
- the contact point P1 comes into contact with the bearing groove 192 when the release button 180 slides in the Y1 direction (internal direction of the buckle 100).
- the slide of the release button 180 in this direction occurs when acceleration in the Y1 direction shown in the figure is applied to the buckle 100 due to, for example, inertia that occurs during an accident or the like.
- the slide of the release button 180 in the Y1 direction shown in the figure is caused by the resistance of the second rotary shaft 204 that is loaded clockwise around the first rotary shaft 202 due to the acceleration in the Y1 direction shown above. And will be prevented. Therefore, the latch of the tongue plate 102 is maintained.
- the contact point P2 comes into contact with the bearing groove 192 when the release button 180 slides in the Y2 direction (direction of the tongue insertion port 114) or when the counterweight 200 rotates counterclockwise in FIG.
- the sliding of the release button 180 in these directions and the rotation of the counterweight 200 occur when acceleration in the Y2 direction is applied to the buckle 100 due to inertia, for example.
- the counterweight 200 is designed to have a mass, a center of gravity, and the like so as not to rotate counterclockwise and slide the release button 180 in the Y1 direction in the figure. That is, counterclockwise rotation of the counterweight 200 is prevented by the release button 180 sliding in the Y2 direction as a resistance. Therefore, the latch of the tongue plate 102 is maintained.
- the part (particularly the first notch 208) of the second rotating shaft 204 that is missing does not come into contact with the release button 180 when the buckle 100 is in a latched state, that is, when the counterweight 200 functions as a weight.
- the first cutout 208 is formed in consideration of not contacting the bearing groove 192 in the latched state of the buckle 100.
- the second rotating shaft 204 comes into contact with the bearing groove 192 on the outer peripheral surface (portion other than the first cutout portion 208) other than the missing portion.
- the first notch 208 does not contact the bearing groove 192 in the latched state. Therefore, even if the first notch 208 is provided on the second rotation shaft 204, the function of the counterweight 200 described above is not affected.
- the first cutout 208 of the second rotating shaft 204 contacts the bearing groove 192 when the release button 180 slides most into the exterior case 110.
- the missing part of the second rotation shaft 204 can keep the jumping height low without affecting the function of the counterweight 200 described above.
- the present invention can be used for a seat belt buckle device for fixing a tongue plate provided on a seat belt of a vehicle.
