Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an apparatus for moving a movable panel provided for operation or display in a passenger compartment.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, in audio equipment and navigation equipment provided in vehicles, the operation or display panel can be opened and closed so that the disk can be stored in the back of the panel so that the disk can be inserted and removed when the panel is opened. Alternatively, a device for reversing the panel so that its operation unit and display unit can be hidden has been studied.
[0003]
For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-190786, both left and right ends of an operation panel are connected to a single chassis integrally having a bottom wall and side walls rising from the left and right ends of the bottom wall via a drive mechanism. There is disclosed an in-vehicle electronic device in which the operation panel can be turned face down by appropriately raising and lowering the rotation shaft while rotating the device around a predetermined axis.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the movable panel including the operation panel, it is desired to support the movable panel in a stable state at a closed position (position where the movable panel closes the opening). In particular, with respect to a movable panel in which a panel switch or the like is pressed at the closed position, it is difficult to perform a reliable operation when the movable panel rattles back and forth due to its operating force. It is very important to prevent rattling.
[0005]
As a means for preventing such rattling, a stopper is fixed at the rear position of the movable panel so that the stopper hits the back surface of the panel from the rear while the movable panel is moved to the closed position. Although it is conceivable, in such a structure, when the movable panel moves from the closed position, the panel and the stopper adjacent thereto are likely to interfere with each other, and the movement of the movable panel is significantly restricted to avoid the interference. Inconvenience occurs.
[0006]
In view of such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a panel driving device capable of supporting the panel in a stable state in the closed position without significantly restricting the movement of the movable panel.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an apparatus for moving a movable panel between a closed position for closing an opening provided in a vehicle compartment and a position different from the closed position, and a support member. And a drive mechanism attached to these support members and moving the movable panel while supporting the movable panel, and a regulation for supporting the movable panel at the closed position by contacting the movable panel at the closed position from the back side. A stopper that can move forward and backward between a position and a retracted position behind it, and at least when the movable panel is in the closed position, the stopper is located in the restricting position, and the movable panel is moving. Is configured to avoid interference between the stopper and the movable panel by advancing and retracting the stopper in conjunction with this.
[0008]
According to this configuration, when the movable panel is in the closed position, the stopper in the restricting position comes into contact with the panel from the back side to support the movable panel in a stable state, while the movable panel is moving. In this case, when the stopper is properly retracted from the restricting position to the rearward retracting position, interference between the movable panel and the stopper can be avoided. Therefore, the movable panel in the closed position can be supported in a stable state without particularly restricting the movement of the movable panel in order to prevent the interference.
[0009]
The position where the stopper actually comes into contact with the movable panel in the closed position can be set as appropriate. For example, in the case where the drive mechanism causes the movable panel to rotate at least about the axis in the left-right direction, the stopper comes into contact with the movable panel at a position deviated vertically from the center axis of rotation. By setting the restriction position, it is possible to effectively restrict the rotation of the movable panel at the closed position and support the panel more stably.
[0010]
Further, the drive mechanism causes the movable panel to rotate about a horizontal axis at one end in the vertical direction and moves the central axis of the movable panel in the vertical direction to move the movable panel. When the panel is to be reversed between a front-facing closed position that closes the opening in a face-up state and a back-facing closed position that closes the opening in a state where the movable panel is face-down, that is, the movable panel When moving between two types of closed positions, the front-facing stopper and the back-facing that abuts the movable panel at positions that deviate vertically from the pivot center axis at the front-facing closed position and the back-facing closed position, respectively. By providing the stopper, the movable panel can be supported in a stable state at any of the front-side closed position and the back-side closed position.
[0011]
In order to advance and retract the stopper in conjunction with the movement of the movable panel, for example, a means for providing an actuator for advancing and retracting the stopper and controlling its operation by a control signal from the controller may be used. Urging means for urging to the position side, and in a state where the movable panel is in the closed position, a part of the drive mechanism moves the stopper to the restriction position side against the urging force of the urging means. If configured to be pushed out, a stopper can be interlocked with the movement of the movable panel by effectively using a part of the drive mechanism without using a special actuator.
[0012]
For example, as the drive mechanism, a support slider attached to the support member so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, and a rear end portion supported by the support slider so as to be rotatable around a support shaft in the left-right direction, A pair of left and right rotating arms that respectively support the left and right ends of the movable panel, and a rotation conversion mechanism that converts the sliding motion of the support slider and the rear end of the rotating arm into the rotation of the rotating arm. If the movable slider is moved to the closed position while the support slider is slid to the foremost end position, and the front end of the support slider slid to the foremost end position pushes the stopper to the restriction position, While the rotating arm is rotated by the slide of the support slider, the stopper is pushed out to the restriction position using the front end of the support slider. , It can be interlocked and retreat of the pivot arm movement and thus of the movable panel movement and stop.
[0013]
Further, as the drive mechanism, a support slider attached to the support member so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction, and a rear end portion is supported by the support slider so as to be rotatable around a support shaft in the left-right direction. A pair of left and right rotating arms that respectively support the left and right ends of the movable panel; a rotation converting mechanism that converts the sliding motion of the support slider and the rear end of the rotating arm into rotation of the rotating arm; and the support A rack slider that is provided so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction relative to the member and the support slider and that extends in the front-rear direction; and a support for the rotating arm in mesh with the rack. A pinion that is rotatably mounted about an axis and that rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the movable panel, and is movable by sliding and stopping the rack slider. The rack slider is slid to the foremost position after being switched between a state in which only the rotational driving of the channel is performed and a state in which the rotational driving of the movable panel and the rotational driving of the rotational arm are performed simultaneously. Even if the movable panel is moved to the closed position and the front end of the rack slider slid to the frontmost position pushes the stopper to the restriction position, the movement of the rack slider and the movable arm The movement of the panel and the advance / retreat of the stopper can be linked.
[0014]
The specific shape and structure of the stopper can be set as appropriate. For example, the stopper has an axial shape extending in the front-rear direction, is supported by the support member so as to be movable in the axial direction, and a contact portion that contacts the movable panel from the back side at the front end thereof A stopper shaft having a larger diameter than the front portion thereof at the rear end and a large diameter portion contacting a part of the drive mechanism, and the stopper shaft between the large diameter portion and the support member. If a compression coil spring that biases the rear is provided, the stopper shaft can be biased with a simple structure in which the compression coil spring is inserted between the large diameter portion and the large diameter portion of the stopper shaft. .
[0015]
The stopper extends in a direction substantially parallel to the movable panel in the closed position, and has one end rotatably supported by the support member and the other end abuttable with a part of the drive mechanism. A stopper arm that has a contact portion that contacts the movable panel from the back side at a position deviating from the rotation center axis, and the contact portion moves in the front-rear direction along with the rotation. If the spring for biasing the rotation of the stopper arm is provided in the direction in which the contact portion moves backward in the vicinity of the rotation center axis, the contact portion of the stopper arm is separated from the support member. It becomes possible to set in a distant position. That is, since the degree of freedom in setting the position of the contact portion is increased, it is possible to easily set the position of the contact portion to a position preferable for supporting the movable panel.

Further, a tension coil spring 36 is interposed between the pin 41 of the panel driving large gear 28 and an appropriate portion of the drive transmission arm 40 on the front side thereof, and its elastic restoring force (tensile force). Thus, rattling between the pin 41 and the through-hole of the drive transmission arm 40 fitted to the pin 41 is eliminated.
[0054]
The drive converting mechanism 20 converts a part of the driving force of the rotational driving mechanism 18 into a rotating driving force of the rotating arm 16A, that is, a sliding driving force of the support slider 51 only for a specific period.

A roller 54 ′ is rotatably provided so as to be relatively rotatable, and a roller 58 projects downward through a through hole 51 h provided in the support slider 51, and the roller 58 and the roller 54 ′ are The rack slider 53 is accurately guided in the front-rear direction with respect to the chassis 13 by being fitted into the through long holes 53e and 53c, respectively.
[0059]
The rack slider 53 is elastically held at a specific position shown in FIG. 14 by the following configuration.
[0060]
A front regulating arm (front regulating member) 60A and a rear regulating arm (rear regulating member) 60B that extend substantially in the left-right direction are disposed at a position between the support slider 51 and the chassis 13. The ends of the restricting arms 60A and 60B near the rotating arm 16B are attached to the top wall 13a of the chassis 13 so as to be rotatable about the vertical axes 62A and 62B, respectively, and the ends near the rotating arm 16A Projections 60a and 60b projecting downward (frontward in FIG. 2) are formed on the (rotating end).
[0061]
On the other hand, a notch 53f extending rearward from the front end and a notch 53g extending forward from the rear end are formed in the top wall 53a of the rack slider 53, and the protruding piece 60a of the front regulating arm 60A is formed in the front notch 53f. While fitting from the front, the protruding piece 60b of the rear regulating arm 60B is fitted from the rear in the rear cutout 53g.
[0062]
A pair of front and rear restricting pins 64A and 64B project downward from the lower surface of the top wall 13a of the chassis 13, and the front end of the front restricting arm 60A abuts against the front restricting pin 64A from the front. Further, the movement of the rotation end portion of the front side regulation arm 60A to the rear side is restricted, while the rotation end portion of the rear side regulation arm 60B comes into contact with the rear side regulation pin 64B from the rear side. Further, the movement of the rotation end portion of the rear side regulation arm 60B to the front side is restricted.
[0063]
Further, the projecting pieces 60a, 60b of the restricting arms 60A, 60B are connected to each other via a tension spring 62, and the elastic force of the tension spring 62 causes the front-side restricting arm 60A to contact the front-side restricting pin 64A. At the same time as being urged in the direction (backward), the rear side regulation arm 60B is urged in a direction (forward) in which the rear side regulation pin 64B abuts.
[0064]
Here, the depths of the notches 53f and 53g of the rack slider 53 are such that the protrusions 60a and 60b are in a state where the restriction arms 60A and 60B are in contact with the restriction pins 64A and 64B, respectively, as shown in FIG. Each is set so as to abut against the inner ends of the notches 53f and 53g. Therefore, the rack slider 53 is elastically held at the specific position shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 by the elastic force of the tension spring 62. It is designed to receive elastic resistance due to tensile force.
[0065]
As with the notches 53f and 53g, the support slider 51 is also formed with notches 51f and 51g into which the protrusions 60a and 60b are fitted. These notches 51f and 51g protrude from the mere support slider 51. This is for avoiding interference with the pieces 60a and 60b, and the depths of the notches 51f and 51g are set to be sufficiently large so that the projecting pieces 60a and 60b do not hit the inner ends of the notches 51f and 51g.
[0066]
Further, a position detection device 66 for detecting the relative positions of the sliders 51 and 53 is provided immediately below the support slider 51 and the rack slider 53. The position detection device 66 includes a sensor arm 70 and a linear sensor 76 for detecting the rotation angle position.
[0067]
One end of the sensor arm 70 is rotatably connected to the top wall 51 a of the support slider 51 via a pin 68, while the other end (rotation end) is connected to the top wall 53 a of the rack slider 53. . Specifically, a penetrating elongated hole 72 extending in the longitudinal direction (rotating radial direction) is provided at the pivot end of the sensor arm 70, and the pivot end of the sensor arm 70 and the rack are provided by a pin 74 that passes through the penetrating elongated hole 72. The slider ceiling wall 53a is connected. Therefore, the rotation angle of the sensor arm 70 corresponds to the relative position between the support slider 51 and the rack slider 53.
[0068]
The linear sensor 76 is provided at a position immediately below the intermediate portion of the sensor arm 70, and an input shaft 77 that can slide in the front-rear direction protrudes upward from the sensor body. The input shaft 77 is formed at the intermediate portion of the sensor arm 70. It is fitted in the provided through long hole 78. Therefore, as the sensor arm 70 rotates, the input shaft 77 slides in the front-rear direction, and the slide position is detected by the linear sensor 76, whereby the rotation angle of the sensor arm 70, and the support slider 51. A relative position in the front-rear direction with respect to the rack slider 53 is detected.
[0069]
Further, as a feature of this panel drive device, the movable panel 10 is accurately stopped at the two closed positions (the front facing closed position as shown in FIG. 1 and the back facing closed position as shown in FIG. 17). A stopper arm 80 and a stopper shaft 90 are provided for supporting in a stable state.
[0070]
The stopper arm 80 extends in the vertical direction, and is supported by the lower end portion of the side wall 13b of the chassis 13 so that the lower end portion thereof can be rotated around the shaft 82 in the left-right direction, and the elastic recovery of the torsion coil spring 86 is performed. The force is biased counterclockwise in FIG. 1, that is, the arm upper end portion 80a is retracted.
[0071]
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the shaft 82 projects inward from the chassis side wall 13b, and the lower end portion of the stopper arm 80 is fitted on the tip portion of the shaft 82 so as to be relatively rotatable. The torsion coil spring 86 is disposed around the shaft 82 between the stopper arm 80 and the chassis side wall 13b, and one end 86a of the torsion coil spring 86 is hooked on the lower end portion of the stopper arm 80 from the front side, The other end 86b is fixed to a fixed piece 13k protruding from the chassis side wall 13b. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, in the state where the rack slider 53 has advanced to the frontmost end position, the front end 53j abuts against the upper end portion 80a of the stopper arm 80 from behind, so that the stopper arm 80 is twisted. The rack slider 53 is forcibly rotated to the front restriction position (position shown in FIG. 1) against the elastic restoring force of the coil spring 86, while the rack slider 53 is moved from the foremost position as shown in FIG. In the state of being retracted to the position, the stopper arm 80 is rotated to the rearward retracted position (position shown in FIG. 13) by the elastic restoring force of the torsion coil spring 86.
[0072]
A restricting projection 84 projects forward from an intermediate portion of the stopper arm 80, and a contact portion 85 having a substantially spherical front end surface is formed at the front end of the restricting projection 84. In the state in which the stopper arm 80 is in the restriction position, as shown in FIG. 1, the intermediate position in the vertical direction with respect to the back surface of the movable panel 10 that has moved to the closed position facing upward (displaced downward from the rotation center shafts 11A and 11B). In the state where the abutting portion 85 abuts from the rear at the position) while the stopper arm 80 is in the retracted position, the abutting portion 85 is sufficiently retracted rearward and moved, for example, as shown in FIG. 10 and the contact portion 85 can be prevented from interfering with each other.
[0073]
Here, since the stopper arm 80 extends in the vertical direction, the position of the contact portion 85, that is, the position for supporting the movable panel 10 can be freely set in the vertical direction.
[0074]
The stopper arm 80 may be configured to extend in the left-right direction depending on the structure of the apparatus and to rotate about the vertical axis.
[0075]
The stopper shaft 90 is supported by the frame 12 so as to be movable in the front-rear direction while penetrating the frame 12 in the front-rear direction. A substantially spherical abutting portion 92 is formed at the front end of the stopper shaft 90, and a large diameter portion 94 is formed at the rear end, and a compression coil spring 96 is provided between the large diameter portion 94 and the frame 12. The stopper shaft 90 is urged rearward by the elastic force of the compression coil spring 96.
[0076]
15 to 18, when the support slider 51 is advanced to the foremost end position, the front end 51j abuts against the large diameter portion 94 of the stopper shaft 90 from behind, so that the stopper shaft 90 is A movable panel that is forcibly pushed out to the front restriction position (position shown in FIGS. 15 to 18) against the elastic restoring force of the compression coil spring 96, and the abutment portion 92 has moved to the closed position facing backward. 10, at the upper position (the position deviated upward from the rotation center shafts 11 </ b> A and 11 </ b> B) from behind, while the support slider 51 is more than a predetermined amount from the foremost position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example. In the retracted state, the stopper shaft 90 is retracted to the rearward retracted position (position shown in FIG. 13) by the elastic restoring force of the compression coil spring 96, and the movable panel that moves with the abutment portion 92 is moved. Interference with the 10 is adapted to be avoided.
[0077]
Next, the operation of this apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 and FIGS. These drawings show a state in which the width dimensions of the chassis 13 and 14 are adjusted to the maximum width W1 as shown in FIG.
[0078]
1) Initial state
1 to 3 and 5 show a state (initial state) in which the movable panel 16 is closed face up. In this state, the front ends of the rotating arms 16A and 16B are at the uppermost position (that is, the roller 22 is pressed against the upper end of the groove 24), and the movable panel 10 is moved from the front ends of the rotating arms 16A and 16B. The opening of the frame 12 is closed in a suspended posture.
[0079]
On the other hand, the support slider 51 and the support shaft 49 at the rear end portion of the rotating arms 16A and 16B supported by the support slider 51 are at the rearmost end position, and the rack 50 meshes with the pinion 48 attached to the support shaft 49 and the rack 50. The rack slider 53 to which is fixed is in a position advanced to the frontmost end position in front of the specific position shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 against the tensile force of the tension spring 62.
[0080]
That is, in this initial state, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotating end portion of the rear side regulation arm 60B abuts against the rear side regulation pin 64B from the rear side, while the rack slider contacts the projection piece 60a of the front side regulation arm 60A. 53, the rear end of the notch 53f abuts from the rear, and the tension spring 62 connected to the front regulation arm 60A and the rear regulation arm 60B is pulled forward so that the front regulation arm 60A is separated from the front regulation pin 64A. The rack slider 53 has advanced to a position away from the front. The rack slider 53 is urged in the backward direction by the tensile elastic force of the tension spring 62, so that the backlash between the rack 50 and the pinion 48 and between the other gears is eliminated, and the movable due to the backlash is eliminated. Shaking of the panel 10 is prevented.
[0081]
Further, the front end 53j of the rack slider 53 advanced to the frontmost end position pushes the upper end portion 80a of the stopper arm 80 from the rear, so that the contact portion 85 of the restriction projection 84 on the stopper arm 80 is moved to the movable panel 10 from the rear. While the panel 10 is supported in the face-up closed position, the support slider 51 is retracted, so that the stopper shaft 90 is retracted to the retracted position by the elastic force of the compression coil spring 96.
[0082]
2) Start of rotational driving of movable panel 10
When the motor 26 is started from the initial state, the rotation output is transmitted to the movable panel 10 by the gear train 30, the panel driving large gear 28, and the drive transmission arm 40, and the lower end portion of the movable panel 10 is moved forward. The movable panel 10 starts to rotate around the rotation center axes 11A and 11B in the approaching direction (FIG. 13).
[0083]
On the other hand, the pinion 48 rotates with the rotation of the panel driving large gear 28. The rack 50 meshing with the pinion 48 and the rack slider 53 to which the rack 50 is fixed are caused by the tensile elastic force of the tension spring 62. The pinion 48 slides in the front-rear direction because it slides (i.e., moves backward) back to the specific position shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 (the position where the rotational end of the front side regulation arm 60A contacts the front side regulation pin 64A). It only rotates at that position. Therefore, the rotation arms 16A and 16B are not rotated, and only the relative rotation of the movable panel 10 with respect to the rotation arms 16A and 16B is advanced. Further, as the rack slider 53 is retracted, the stopper shaft 90 is retracted to the retracted position by the resilient force of the compression coil spring 96 (FIGS. 13 and 14), and the contact portion 92 of the movable panel 10 is moving. Interference can be avoided.
[0084]
3) Driving the rotating arm 16A
When the support slider 51 reaches the specific position shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 (that is, the position where the restriction springs 60A and 60B hit the restriction pins 64A and 64B, respectively, and the tension spring 62 connecting the restriction arms 60A and 60B is shortest). Since the rearward pulling force by the tension spring 62 is eliminated, the rack slider 53 and the rack 50 fixed thereto are stopped. On the other hand, the pinion 48 that meshes with the rack 50 continues to rotate, so that the pinion 48 and the support shaft 49 to which the pinion 48 is attached are arranged so that the pinion 48 rolls forward on the rack 50. The supporting slider 51 to which the shaft 49 is attached and the rear end portion of the rotating arm 16A supported by the supporting shaft 49 begin to slide integrally forward. As a result, the rollers 24 of the rotating arms 16A and 16B Both the rotating arms 16A and 16B start to rotate in a direction in which their front end portions descend while being lowered along the groove 22. That is, the rotation drive for rotating the movable panel 10 about the rotation center axes 11A and 11B and the drive for the rotation arms 16A and 16B for lowering the rotation center axes 11A and 11B are performed simultaneously.
[0085]
At this time, the supporting slider 51 is given a backward biasing force (that is, a force to rotate the rotary arms 16A and 16B upward) by the tensile elastic force of the tension spring 56. Stable rotation of the rotation arms 16A and 16B is realized by canceling out the downward turning force due to the weight of the rotation arms 16A and 16B and the movable panel 10.
[0086]
Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the movable panel 10 is substantially horizontal with the rotation center shafts 11A and 11B reaching the lowermost position (that is, the opening of the frame 12 is opened forward). The gears and the like are designed as described above, and in this state, the audio equipment and the like incorporated inside the chassis 13 and 14 can be operated (for example, loading and unloading a disk).
[0087]
Further, in this panel open state, a jig having a flat convex portion 102 corresponding to the shape of the slit 21 at the tip portion of the slit 21 formed between the main body of the rotating arm 16A and the gripping claw 15A. The convex portion 102 of 100 (FIG. 19) is inserted from the side, and the jig 100 is rotated by gripping the handle portion of the jig 100, so that the tensile force of the tension coil spring 23 is increased. Accordingly, the gripping claws 15A can be easily opened upward, and similarly, the gripping claws 15B can be easily opened (FIG. 20). In addition, in this state, the groove 44 of the movable panel 10 is in a direction opened to the rear, and the pin 42 is detachable rearward from the groove 44. 16B and the drive transmission arm 40 can be easily removed forward. Conversely, the gripping claws 15A and 15B are opened, and the rotation center shafts 11A and 11B are inserted from the front between these and the rotation arms 16A and 16B, and then the gripping claws 15A and 15B are released and closed. Thus, the operation of connecting the movable panel 10 to the rotating arms 16A and 16B can be easily performed.
[0088]
4) End of rotation of movable panel 10
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the movable panel 10 reaches the open position when the front ends of the rotating arms 16A and 16B and the rotation center shafts 11A and 11B reach the lowest position (that is, the roller 22 It means that the position has been reached against the lower end of the groove 24). At this point, the rotating arms 16A and 16B can no longer rotate, so that the rotation center shafts 11A and 11B are stationary at the lowermost position, the pinion 48, the support shaft 49 at the rear end of the rotating arm 16A, and The forward sliding of the support slider 51 stops at the foremost end position shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, and the front end 51 j of the support slider 51 opposes the stopper shaft 90 against the elastic force of the compression coil spring 96 to the front side. Push out to the regulated position.
[0089]
Therefore, if the driving of the movable panel 10 is continued from the time when the opening position is reached, only the rotational driving of the movable panel 10 using the rotation center shafts 11A and 11B as a fulcrum is continued from that time. When such rotational driving is continued for 90 °, the movable panel 10 returns to the upright posture in a state facing away from the initial state (that is, reaches the backward closed position), and is moved relative to the movable panel 10. Then, the abutting portion 92 of the stopper shaft 90 abuts from the back, so that the movable panel 10 can no longer rotate (FIG. 17). At this time, the operation of the motor 26 is stopped, the movable panel 10 is stopped, and the panel 10 is accurately positioned in the back-facing closed position by the contact of the contact portion 92 and is stabilized at the same position. Supported in condition.
[0090]
On the other hand, the slide of the pinion 48 and the support slider 51 stops, but the rotation of the pinion 48 continues. Therefore, the rack 50 and the rack slider 53 meshed with the pinion 48 are moved against the tensile elastic force of the tension spring 62. The side regulating arm 60B starts to move backward from the specific position while rotating backward, and stops simultaneously with the stop of the motor 26 (FIG. 18). In this stopped state, the rack 50 and the rack slider 53 are given a forward biasing force due to the tensile elastic force of the tension spring 62, so that backlash between the gears is eliminated as in the initial state. Shaking of the movable panel 10 due to rush is prevented.
[0091]
Further, if the motor 26 is reversed from this reverse state, the movable panel 10 returns to the front side state (the initial state) by the operation completely opposite to the above. At that time, the front end 53j of the rack slider 53 advanced to the foremost end position pushes the upper end portion 80a of the stopper arm 80 from the rear (FIG. 1), so that the contact portion 85 of the restriction projection 84 on the stopper arm 80 is movable. 10, the panel 10 is accurately positioned in the face-up closed position and supported in a stable state at the same position.
[0092]
In addition, this invention is not limited to the above embodiment, For example, it can also take the following forms.
[0093]
In the above embodiment, the device for reversing the movable panel 10 is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the movable panel 10 is opened and closed between the closed position shown in FIG. 1 and the open position shown in FIG. Even in a device that only allows the device to be used, the closed position can be applied. Further, even when the front and back sides are reversed, the stopper according to the present invention may be provided for only one of the front side closed position and the back side closed position.
[0094]
In the present invention, the support sliders 51 and 52 according to the above embodiment are omitted, and the rotating arms 16A and 16B are supported on the chassis 13 and 14 side, and these rotating arms 16A and 16B are separated from the motor 26. You may make it rotationally drive with a motor. Furthermore, in this invention, what is necessary is just to be able to support a movable panel so that rotation is possible irrespective of the specific shape and structure of a supporting member.
[0095]
In the present invention, regardless of the specific application of the movable panel 10, for example, switches with switches disposed on the front and back surfaces may be used. The apparatus according to the present invention can also be effectively applied to a case where a movable panel with nothing on the back side is turned face down for the purpose of preventing theft. In this case, a stopper may be provided only for the front facing closed position.
[0096]
In the above embodiment, the support slider 51 and the rack slider 53 that slide back and forth are used to push the stopper, such as the stopper arm 80 and the stopper shaft 90, to the restriction position so that the stopper is advanced and retracted in conjunction with the panel drive. However, the movable panel is supported in the closed position while avoiding interference between the stopper and the movable panel by appropriately driving the stopper between the restricting position and the retracted position by, for example, a valve combination of an actuator such as a solenoid and a controller. It is also possible.
[0097]
【The invention's effect】

It has a stopper that can be moved back and forth between the restriction position supported by and the rearward retracted position, and the stopper moves forward and backward in conjunction with the movement of the movable panel. Without giving, there is an effect that the panel can be supported in a stable state in the closed position.
