The motor 14 has a rotating shaft 14a meshed with a double gear 16, which is geared with a cam gear 17, and the cam gear 17 has a rod 18 for the lock mechanism 4 and a gear 18. Rods 19 for seat lock are arranged so as to be engageable with each other. The double gear 16 and the cam gear 17 are connected to shafts 20, 2 supported by the frame 13.
1 rotatably supported.

The rod 18 has, at one end thereof, an engaging portion 18a which can be engaged with the cam portion 17a of the cam gear 17, and a long hole 18b with which the lock pin 22 is engaged along the longitudinal direction. ing. The rod 18
A lock spring 23 is locked to a spring pin 18c provided so as to protrude outside the frame 13, and is constantly urged by the lock spring 23 in the direction of arrow B in FIG. When the rod 18 moves in the direction of arrow B by the rotation of the cam gear 17, the locked state of the lock mechanism 4 is released as described later.

The rod 19 is rotatably supported by a shaft 24 provided on the frame 13, and a wire pulley 26 is coaxially supported below the rod 19. The wire pulley 26 is formed in a substantially fan shape in a plan view, and a sheet lock wire 27 (see FIG.
) Is formed, and a locking hole for locking the main switch wire 28 is formed. And the rod 19 is the rod spring 2
9 and the wire pulley 26 is connected to the pulley spring 3
By 0, it is always urged in the direction of arrow C in FIG. 5 (the initial position direction). The rod 19 is engaged with the wire pulley 26 only in the direction of arrow C. This rod 19
Engages with the cam portion 17a of the cam gear 17 and rotates in a predetermined direction, whereby the locked state of the seat lock mechanism is released as described later.

The motor 14 of the lock mechanism 4 is drawn out of the frame 13 through the cord 31, and a connector 32 is connected to the tip of the cord 31 as shown in FIG. Then, the connector 32 is
Connected to the control panel 34 that receives the signal of
The motor 14 is configured to rotate in a predetermined direction by a remote control operation.

The frame 13 of the electric drive unit 5
A switch 3 for detecting the rotational position of the cam gear 17 is provided inside.
5 (see FIG. 6), and each terminal of the switch 35 is also connected to the connector 32 via the cord 31. Further, the code 31 includes the lock mechanism 4.
Code 37 for turning on an illumination lamp (not shown) in the interior
2 (see FIG. 2), and a connector 36 is also connected to the tip of the cord 37.

Next, the operation of the ignition switch 1 will be described. First, the lock mechanism 4 is set to the locked state by operating the lever 10 to set the wheel lock to the lock position and turning the shutter inside the main body 9 to close the key hole 6 a of the rotor 6. . The lock state of the lock mechanism 4 can be released by a manual operation and a remote control operation, and the manual operation is performed by a rotation operation of the ignition key 7.

That is, when the ignition key 7 is inserted into the key hole 12a of the key insertion portion 12 and rotated in a predetermined direction, a lock bar (not shown) engaged with the shutter of the lock mechanism 4 retracts and engages with the lock bar. The shutter that has been pulled is pulled by the cable 11 and returns to the original position. As a result, the key hole 6a of the rotor 6 is opened, and when the wire 11 connected to the shutter returns to the original position, the wheel lock is set to the unlock position, and the lock mechanism 4 is unlocked. The vehicle is ready to run.

On the other hand, the remote control operation is performed as follows. That is, when an operation button for unlocking the lock mechanism of the remote controller 33 is pressed, a corresponding signal is input to the control panel 34, and a normal rotation signal is output from the control panel 34 to the motor 14. The motor 14 rotates forward by the forward rotation signal, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 14a also rotates the double gear 16 meshed with each other, and the rotation of the double gear 16 causes the cam gear 17 meshed with each other. Also rotates forward. By the forward rotation of the cam gear 17, FIG.
The cam portion 17a at the initial position shown in FIG. 7A rotates counterclockwise to the position shown in FIG. 7B, and the engagement portion 18a follows the rotation of the cam portion 17a, and The rod 18 engaged with the portion 17a moves in the direction of arrow B (rightward in the figure).

When the rod 18 moves, the lock pin 22 engaged with the end (the left end in the figure) of the long hole 18b is pulled in the same direction and moves, and the lock pin 2 moves.
When the lock bar engaged with the lock bar 2 is retracted in the same manner as in the manual operation, and the lock bar and the shutter are released from engagement, the key hole 6a is opened and the wheel lock is set to the unlock position. Lock mechanism 4
Is released.

When the lock mechanism 4 is released by operating the remote controller, when the motor 14 rotates forward,
As shown in (c), the cam portion 17a of the cam gear 17 is engaged with the tip of the
To rotate in the direction of arrow d. However, since the rod 19 engages only with the wire pulley 26 in the direction indicated by the arrow C (in the direction opposite to the arrow D), the rod 19 idles and becomes a clutch, and is returned to the initial position by the rod spring 29. The release of the mechanism 4 has no effect on the state of the seat lock mechanism. Also, the motor 14
Is controlled by detecting the rotational position of the cam gear 17 with the switch 35.

The operation of the lock mechanism 4 has been described above. next,
The operation of the seat lock mechanism will be described. The release of the locked state of the seat lock mechanism can be performed by a manual operation of rotating the rotor 6 counterclockwise without pushing the rotor 6 with the ignition key 7. On the other hand, when releasing the locked state of the seat lock mechanism by remote control operation, the following is performed.

That is, when the operation button for opening the seat lock of the remote controller 33 is pressed, a corresponding signal is sent to the control panel 34.
And the control panel 34 outputs a reverse rotation signal to the motor 14, and the motor 14 rotates reversely with the reverse rotation signal, and the double gear 16 and the cam gear 17 also reversely rotate following the reverse rotation signal. When the cam gear 17 rotates in the reverse direction (clockwise in FIG. 8) from the position shown in FIG. Also rotate in the same direction.

By the rotation of the wire pulley 26, FIG.
As shown in (b), the seat lock wire 27 is pulled in the direction of arrow E, and the seat lock mechanism is opened (released). Note that when the motor 14 rotates in the reverse direction when the seat lock mechanism is released, the cam portion 17a of the cam gear 17 engages with the engaging portion 18a of the rod 18 of the lock device 4, and as shown in FIG. Is moved in the direction of the arrow by a predetermined distance, but this movement is a movement within the range of the long hole 18b provided in the rod 18, and becomes idle.
The reverse rotation of the motor 14 does not affect the lock state of the lock mechanism 4 at all. The release of the locked state of the seat lock mechanism can also be performed by pulling the main switch wire 28 by manual operation of the ignition key 7 and rotating the wire pulley 26.

That is, the above-described ignition switch 1
In the case of, the lock state of the lock mechanism 4 and the lock state of the seat lock mechanism can be released by both the remote operation by the remote controller 33 and the manual operation similar to the conventional operation. The setting of the set state and the locked state of the seat lock mechanism is also performed by the same manual operation as in the related art.

As described above, according to the ignition switch 1 of the above embodiment, the lock state of the lock mechanism 4 for closing the key hole 6a of the rotor 6 and locking the wheel is released, and the lock state of the seat lock mechanism is released. Can be automatically performed by operating the electric drive unit 5 by remote control of the remote control 33, so that the ignition key 7
This eliminates the need for the insertion and rotation operation, thereby improving the operability such as the release operation of both mechanisms as a theft prevention measure. Further, since the lock state of the lock mechanism 4 and the seat lock mechanism can be released by the same manual operation as in the related art, the operability can be further improved.

The frame 13 of the electric drive unit 5
A forward / reverse motor 14 is disposed in the
, The lock state of the lock mechanism 4 is released, and the motor 1
Since the lock state of the seat lock mechanism is released by reversing the rotation of the motor 4, the two mechanisms can be operated by one motor 14, so that the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts and the electric drive unit 5 can be operated. It is possible to reduce the size and weight of the ignition switch, and as a result, it is possible to obtain an inexpensive and compact ignition switch 1.

Further, the shapes of the cam gear 17 and the rods 18 and 19 are set so that the normal rotation and the reverse rotation of the motor 14 do not affect the releasing operation of the other mechanisms, and the rotational position of the cam gear 17 is controlled by the switch 35. Detected motor 1
Since the rotation range of the lock mechanism 4 is controlled, the lock states of the lock mechanism 4 and the seat lock mechanism can be reliably and stably released. Further, since the electric drive unit 5 is unitized, the electric drive unit 5 can be easily attached to the body 2 of the existing ignition switch 1 without making a large change, and the electric drive unit 5 excellent in versatility is obtained. be able to.

In the above embodiments, the mounting position of the electric drive unit 5 to the body 2, the structure of the electric drive unit 5 itself, the rotation direction of the motor 14, the structure of the lock mechanism 4 and the seat lock mechanism, etc. are merely examples. Therefore, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of each invention according to the present invention.
