Description

The present invention relates to a vehicle stopper structure that includes a movable member that is movable relative to a base member, a sliding member that is disposed between the base member and the movable member, and a stopper mechanism that stops the sliding member at a predetermined position.

A related seat rotation mechanism is described in Patent Document 1. The seat rotation mechanism described in Patent Document 1 is configured so that a plate (moving member) supporting the seat body can be rotated on a front-rear slide table (base member) on the seat slide mechanism. Four slides (sliding members) are provided on the underside of the plate, separated into front, rear, left and right. A plurality of arc-shaped rail members are provided on the upper surface of the front-rear slide table at positions corresponding to each slide. When an occupant gets in, the seat body on which the occupant sits is rotated by using the seat rotation mechanism from a boarding/alighting position facing the door opening to a storage position facing the front of the vehicle. At this time, the plate and the front-rear slide table rotate relative to each other while sliding the slides arranged between them against the rail members. When the seat body reaches the storage position and the plate is locked by the locking mechanism, the seat body is held in the storage position.

JP 2001-206113 A

In the above configuration, it is desirable that the slide of the plate (the sliding member of the moving member) is in contact with the rail member of the front-rear slide table without any gap from the viewpoint of suppressing the generation of abnormal noise. In other words, if the slide rattles up and down against the rail member due to vibration during driving, etc., there is a risk of unintended abnormal noise being generated. Therefore, an elastic material protruding toward the front-rear slide table side can be provided in the vehicle seat device, and the slide can be pressed against the front-rear slide table side by the elastic force of this elastic material to stop it. However, in such a configuration, the vertical position of the slide to be pressed varies in relation to other slides, making it difficult to manage the gap between the front-rear slide table and the elastic material. In addition, if the slide is pressed strongly with the elastic material, a large operating force is required to rotate the plate in the storage position, and it may be difficult to ensure the operability of the plate. The present invention was devised in consideration of the above points, and the problem that the present invention aims to solve is to stop the sliding member without rattling as much as possible while ensuring the operability of the moving member by a stopper mechanism whose accuracy is relatively easy to manage.

As a means for solving the above problem, the vehicle stopper structure of the first invention includes a moving member movable relative to a base member, a sliding member disposed between the base member and the moving member, and a stopper mechanism for stopping the sliding member at a predetermined position. Here, the sliding member is configured to be slidable on either the base member or the moving member, which is different from the other member, while being fixed to either the base member or the moving member. In this type of configuration, it is desirable to stop the sliding member with as little rattling as possible while ensuring the operability of the moving member by a stopper mechanism that is relatively easy to control the accuracy. Therefore, the stopper mechanism of the present invention has an insertion portion that is inserted so as to come into contact with the sliding member from one member side, and an elastic support portion that elastically supports the insertion portion in the sliding direction of the sliding member. The insertion portion extends from a receiving portion that can receive the sliding member in a direction along the sliding direction of the sliding member, and is configured to gradually move from the other member side to the one member side as it approaches the receiving portion.

In the stopper mechanism of the present invention, the insertion portion is shaped (generally wedge-shaped) to approach one of the members as it approaches the receiving portion, and is elastically supported by the elastic support portion. The support force of the elastic support portion causes the roughly wedge-shaped insertion portion to be inserted from one of the members and abut against the sliding member, thereby stopping the sliding member. This eliminates the need for strict management of the gap between the sliding member and the insertion portion, and facilitates precision management of the stopper mechanism. The wedge effect of the insertion portion inserted so as to abut against the sliding member can, for example, reduce the gap between the sliding member and the other member, thereby suppressing rattling of the sliding member. In addition, in the stopper mechanism of the present invention, even if the support force of the elastic support portion is weak, the wedge effect of the insertion portion can suppress rattling of the sliding member. This prevents excessive pressing force from being applied to the sliding member, which contributes to ensuring the operability of the moving member.

The vehicle stopper structure of the first invention is provided with an adjustment mechanism that can adjust the support force of the elastic support part against the insertion part. In the present invention, by adjusting the support force of the elastic support part against the insertion part with the adjustment mechanism, it is possible to more reliably achieve both operability of the moving member and suppression of rattling of the sliding member.

The vehicle stopper structure of the second invention is the vehicle stopper structure of the first invention, in which the elastic support part has a shaft extending in the sliding direction of the sliding member and an elastic material fitted to the shaft, and is configured so that the tip of the elastic material can support the insertion part. The adjustment mechanism is a double nut consisting of a first nut screwed onto the shaft and a second nut screwed onto the shaft in the opposite direction to the first nut, and the double nut is screwed so that its position can be adjusted in the extension direction of the shaft while supporting the base end of the elastic material opposite to the tip. In this invention, the simple adjustment mechanism using the double nut makes it possible to adjust the support force of the insertion part by the elastic support part.

The vehicle stopper structure of the third invention is the vehicle stopper structure of the first or second invention, and includes a moving member that supports the seat body, a rotation mechanism that rotates the moving member on the base member between a storage position facing the front of the vehicle and a boarding/disembarking position facing the door opening, and a plurality of sliding members arranged between the base member and the moving member. Any one of the plurality of sliding members is arranged farther from the rotation center of the seat body in the storage position than another sliding member, and the stopper mechanism is arranged at a position where the one sliding member can be stopped. In this invention, the moving member is rotated while supporting the seat body, thereby contributing to ensuring ease of boarding and disembarking. The stopper mechanism can stop the sliding member that is relatively far from the rotation center of the seat body in the storage position, i.e., the sliding member that is prone to large rattle.
The vehicle stopper structure of the fourth invention includes a moving member movable relative to a base member, a sliding member disposed between the base member and the moving member, and a stopper mechanism for stopping the sliding member at a predetermined position. Here, the sliding member is configured to be slidable on the other member, either the base member or the moving member, while being fixed to one of the base member and the moving member. In this type of configuration, it is desirable to stop the sliding member as much as possible without rattling while ensuring the operability of the moving member by a stopper mechanism whose accuracy is relatively easy to control. Therefore, the stopper mechanism of the present invention has an insertion portion that is inserted so as to come into contact with the sliding member from one member side, and an elastic support portion that elastically supports the insertion portion in the sliding direction of the sliding member. The insertion portion extends from a receiving portion that can receive the sliding member in a direction along the sliding direction of the sliding member, and is configured to gradually move from the other member side to the one member side as it approaches the receiving portion. The seat includes a moving member that supports the seat body, a rotation mechanism that rotates the moving member on the base member between a storage position facing the front of the vehicle and a boarding/alighting position facing the door opening, and a plurality of sliding members that are arranged between the base member and the moving member. Any one of the plurality of sliding members is arranged farther from the rotation center of the seat body in the storage position than the other sliding members, and the stopper mechanism is disposed at a position that allows the one sliding member to be stopped.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the sliding member can be stopped with as little rattling as possible while ensuring the operability of the moving member by using a stopper mechanism that is relatively easy to control the accuracy. According to the first aspect of the present invention, it is possible to more reliably achieve both the operability of the moving member and the suppression of rattling of the sliding member. According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is possible to more reliably achieve both the operability of the moving member and the suppression of rattling of the sliding member by using a relatively simple configuration. According to the third aspect of the present invention, it is possible to stop the sliding member with as little rattling as possible while ensuring the ease of getting on and off the seat body. According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to stop the sliding member with as little rattling as possible while ensuring the operability of the moving member and the ease of getting on and off the seat body by using a stopper mechanism that is relatively easy to control the accuracy.

For convenience, arrows indicating the front-rear, left-right, and up-down directions of the vehicle are appropriately shown in each figure. Also, for convenience, Figures 2 to 10 only show the four-bar link mechanism of the vehicle seat device, and the stopper mechanism and each sliding member are simplified or omitted. Also, Figures 11 to 14 and Figure 18 only show the stopper mechanism and sliding members, and the four-bar link mechanism is omitted. And in Figure 11, for convenience, the members on the moving member side are shown by two-dot dashed lines, and the members on the base member side are shown by solid lines.

[Example 1]
In the first embodiment, a stopper mechanism provided in a vehicle seat device 10 will be described. The vehicle seat device 10 is a seat device installed on the right side of the vehicle interior of a vehicle 2 as shown in FIG. 1, and has a seat body 20 constituting a front seat on the right side of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle seat device 10 includes a front-rear slide mechanism 30 for sliding the seat body 20 in the vehicle front-rear direction, a rotation mechanism 40 for rotating the seat body 20 above the front-rear slide mechanism 30, and a stopper mechanism 60 for stopping one of a plurality of sliding members 51 to 54. Here, the front-rear slide mechanism 30 includes a pair of left and right lower rails 32 fixed on a floor F in the vehicle interior and extending in the vehicle front-rear direction, and a pair of left and right upper rails 33 that slide forward and backward along the left and right lower rails 32. Each upper rail 33 is configured to be slide-locked in multiple stages relative to each lower rail 32 by the action of a multi-stage lock mechanism (not shown).

[Rotation mechanism]
1 and 2, the rotation mechanism 40 is configured to rotate the seat body 20 between a boarding/alighting position facing the door opening D on the right side and a storage position facing the front of the vehicle. As shown in FIG. 2, the rotation mechanism 40 includes a four-joint link mechanism 40r that rotatably supports a moving member 45 that supports the seat body 20 with respect to a base member 35 that cannot rotate, and a plurality of sliding members 51 to 54. The vehicle seat device 10 is provided with a rotation lock device (not shown) that locks the rotational movement of the rotation mechanism 40. The base member 35 is a plate-like member that is rectangular in an upward view and does not follow the rotational movement of the seat body 20, and is stretched between the left and right upper rails 33. The moving member 45 is a member that is rectangular in an upward view and supports the seat body 20, and is disposed above the base member 35 while being supported by the four-joint link mechanism 40r. As described below, each of the sliding members 51 to 54 is provided on either the base member 35 or the moving member 45 and is configured to be able to slide on the other of the base member 35 and the moving member 45.

When the seat body 20 is displaced, as described below, the base member 35 and the moving member 45 shown in FIG. 2 rotate relative to each other while sliding the sliding members 51 to 54 arranged between them. When the seat body 20 reaches the storage position, one of the sliding members (51) is stopped by a stopper mechanism 60 as described below so as not to rattle, in order to suppress the generation of abnormal noise. In this type of configuration, it is desirable that the accuracy of the stopper mechanism 60 is easy to control and that the operability of the moving member 45 is ensured. Therefore, in this embodiment, the stopper mechanism 60, which is relatively easy to control in accuracy, is used to stop one of the sliding members (51) so as to minimize rattling while ensuring the operability of the moving member 45, as described below. The configurations of the rotation mechanism 40 and the stopper mechanism 60 are described in detail below.

[Four-bar link mechanism]
Before describing each of the sliding members 51 to 54 and the stopper mechanism 60, an outline of the four-joint link mechanism 40r of the rotation mechanism 40 and its action (rotational operation of the rotation mechanism) will be described first. The four-joint link mechanism 40r shown in Figs. 2 to 4 supports the moving member 45 on the base member 35 so that it can rotate while tilting forward. This four-joint link mechanism 40r is composed of a front link 41 and a rear link 42. The front link 41 and the rear link 42 are connected to the base member 35 and the moving member 45 in a state in which the door opening D side, i.e., the right side, is inclined lower. The front link 41 and the rear link 42 are set so that the height dimension difference between the rotation center side and the free rotation end side, which will be described later, is equal to the gap dimension between the base member 35 and the moving member 45 (see the part indicated by the symbol D1 in Fig. 2).

The pivot center side of the front link 41 is connected to the right side of the front part of the base member 35 in the width direction via the lower connecting shaft 41d in a rotatable state, as shown in FIG. 5. Here, the base member 35 has an inclined portion 35k at the part to which the front link 41 is connected, as shown in FIG. 4, and the inclined portion 35k is inclined so that it is lower on the right side (door opening D side). The lower connecting shaft 41d is connected to the base member 35 at a right angle to the inclined portion 35k. That is, the lower connecting shaft 41d is erected on the base member 35 in a state inclined to the right side. The tip side of the front link 41, i.e., the free pivot end side, is connected to the approximate center of the moving member 45 in a rotatable state via the upper connecting shaft 41u, as shown in FIG. 5. Here, the moving member 45 has an inclined portion 45k at the part to which the front link 41 is connected, as shown in FIG. 4, and the inclined portion 45k is inclined so that the right side is lower at an angle equal to the inclined portion 35k of the base member 35. The upper connecting shaft 41u is connected to the moving member 45 at a right angle to the inclined portion 45k. In other words, the upper connecting shaft 41u is provided below the moving member 45 at the same inclination angle as the lower connecting shaft 41d.

The pivot center side of the rear link 42 is pivotally connected to the rear width direction center of the base member 35 via the lower connecting shaft 42d, as shown in FIG. 5. Here, the base member 35 has an inclined portion 35k at the portion to which the rear link 42 is connected, as shown in FIG. 3. The lower connecting shaft 42d is connected to the base member 35 at a right angle to the inclined portion 35k. That is, the lower connecting shaft 42d is erected on the base member 35 at an inclination angle equal to that of the lower connecting shaft 41d of the front link 41. The tip side of the rear link 42, i.e., the free pivot end side, is pivotally connected to the rear right corner of the moving member 45 via the upper connecting shaft 42u, as shown in FIG. 5. Here, the moving member 45 has an inclined portion 45k at the portion to which the rear link 42 is connected, as shown in FIG. 3. The upper connecting shaft 42u is connected to the moving member 45 at a right angle to the inclined portion 45k. That is, the upper connecting shaft 42u is provided below the moving member 45 at an inclination angle equal to that of the upper connecting shaft 41u of the front link 41.

[Outline of rotational operation of the rotation mechanism]
Next, the rotational operation of the rotation mechanism 40 when the position of the seat body 20 is displaced will be described (the behavior of each sliding member will be described later). With the above-mentioned configuration, when an external force is applied in the rightward rotation direction to the seat body 20 in the storage position (see FIG. 5), the tip end side (the free rotation end side) of the front link 41 of the four-joint link mechanism 40r receives the external force in the rightward direction via the moving member 45. As a result, the front link 41 rotates leftward (counterclockwise when viewed from above) from the position shown in FIG. 5 around the lower connecting shaft 41d. That is, the upper connecting shaft 41u connected to the tip end side of the front link 41 moves in an arc so as to approach the door opening D.

And at the beginning of the arcuate movement, that is, until the front link 41 rotates θ1° to the left from the storage position (see FIG. 5), as shown in FIG. 6, the upper connecting shaft 41u and the moving member 45 connected to this upper connecting shaft 41u move backward while moving toward the door opening D (right side). Also, as the upper connecting shaft 41u connected to the front link 41 moves backward, the upper connecting shaft 42u connected to the tip side of the rear link 42 receives a force in the rear direction via the moving member 45. As a result, the rear link 42 rotates slightly to the right (rotates clockwise when viewed from above) around the lower connecting shaft 42d. As a result, the seat body 20 and the moving member 45 (seat body 20, etc.) move backward while moving toward the door opening D (right side) as shown in FIG. 6 (see white arrow).

When an external force is applied to the seat body 20 in the right rotation direction after the front link 41 has rotated left by θ1° from the storage position (see FIG. 6), the seat body 20 and the like rotate rightward while moving to the right, and the front link 41 rotates left from the position at angle θ1, as shown in FIG. 7. Then, with the front link 41 rotated left by angle θ2 from the position at angle θ1, the lower connecting shaft 41d and upper connecting shaft 41u of the front link 41 and the upper connecting shaft 42u of the rear link 42 are held in a straight line in a plan view. In this state, the moving member 45 faces rightward by approximately angle θ2, and the rear right corner of the moving member 45 protrudes rearward from the rear end edge of the base member 35. This position is the rearmost position of the moving member 45.

Next, when an external force is applied to the seat body 20 in the right rotation direction at the rearmost rear position, as shown in FIG. 8, the front link 41 and the rear link 42 both rotate left, and the seat body 20, etc., rotates right while moving forward. That is, the seat body 20, etc., rotates rightward while moving the center of rotation forward. Then, with the front link 41 rotated by an angle θ3 from the rearmost rear position (see FIG. 8), the seat body 20, etc., reaches the boarding and disembarking position.

As described above, the front link 41 and rear link 42 of the four-bar link mechanism 40r are connected to the base member 35 and the moving member 45 in a state in which they are inclined so that the door opening D side (right side) is lower. Therefore, when the front link 41 and rear link 42 rotate left from the rearmost position and the seat body 20 etc. rotate rightward while moving the center of rotation forward, the seat body 20 etc. inclines so that the front side is lower, as shown in Figures 9 and 10. Thus, in this embodiment, the seat body 20 in the storage position can be rotated by the rotation mechanism 40 to a boarding/disembarking position facing the door opening D, which contributes to ensuring excellent boarding/disembarking ease.

[Sliding member]
Next, the sliding members 51 to 54 shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 11 will be described. In the vehicle seat device 10, sliding members are provided at approximately four corners, and each of the sliding members 51 to 54 can be provided on either the base member 35 or the moving member 45. For example, referring to Fig. 11, the first sliding member 51 located on the front left side and the second sliding member 52 located on the rear left side are provided on the moving member 45. On the other hand, the third sliding member 53 located on the front right side of the vehicle seat device 10 and the fourth sliding member 54 located on the rear right side are provided on the base member 35. And, each of the sliding members 51 to 54 is configured to be slidable on the guide rails (510 to 540) of the other of the base member 35 and the moving member 45 when the seat body 20 is displaced, as described later.

11 and 12, the first sliding member 51 is a vertical roller-shaped member and is rotatably supported by a receiving plate 46 that is substantially rectangular in side view. The receiving plate 46 is fixed to the rear end of a support bracket 47 that extends downward and rearward from the left front corner of the moving member 45. In the storage position shown in FIG. 11, the first sliding member 51 on the left front side is disposed at a position farther from the rotation center RC during the rotational movement of the seat body 20 than the other sliding members (52 to 54). The first sliding member 51 is configured to be slidable on a first guide rail 510 provided on the upper surface of the base member 35. The first guide rail 510 extends linearly toward the front right side in an upward view, and gradually inclines forward as it moves to the right. In the vehicle seat device 10 of this embodiment, the first sliding member 51 corresponds to one sliding member of the present invention, and is configured to be stopped by a stopper mechanism 60 described later.

The second sliding member 52 located on the rear left side in FIG. 11 is configured to be slidable on a second guide rail 520 provided on the upper surface of the base member 35. This second guide rail 520 extends linearly toward the front right side when viewed from above. The third sliding member 53 located on the front right side is configured to be slidable on a third guide rail 530 provided on the moving member 45. This third guide rail 530 is formed in an arc shape that follows the relative movement trajectory of the third sliding member 53 when the moving member 45 rotates. The fourth sliding member 54 located on the rear right side is configured to be slidable on a fourth guide rail 540 provided on the lower surface of the moving member 45. This fourth guide rail 540 is also formed in an arc shape so as to follow the relative movement trajectory of the fourth sliding member 54.

[Stopper mechanism]
Next, the stopper mechanism 60 shown in Figures 11 and 13 will be described. This stopper mechanism 60 is a mechanism that stops the first sliding member 51 at a predetermined position when the seat body 20 reaches the storage position. That is, the stopper mechanism 60 is arranged at the left position of the first guide rail 510 on the base member 35 side, so that the first sliding member 51 can be stopped at that position. The stopper mechanism 60 extends generally in the left-right direction along the first guide rail 510, and has a main body portion 600, an insertion portion 70, an elastic support portion 80, and an adjustment mechanism 90, which will be described later.

Here, the main body 600 of the stopper mechanism 60 shown in FIG. 13 has a first base portion 61 extending along the first guide rail 510, a second base portion 62, and a third base portion 63. With reference to FIGS. 14 and 15, the first base portion 61 has a rear wall portion 611, an upper wall portion 612 extending forward along the upper end of the rear wall portion 611, and a first flange portion 613 extending rearward from the lower end of the rear wall portion 611. The right end of the upper wall portion 612 of the first base portion 61 is inclined upward, and a stopper portion 614 extending forward is formed on the left part of the upper wall portion 612. The first base portion 61 is disposed on the first guide rail 510 of the base member 35 by fixing the first flange portion 613 to the base member 35. The second base portion 62 is attached so as to cover the upper wall portion 612 and the rear wall portion 611 of the first base portion 61. The right end of the first base portion 61 is exposed from the right end of the second base portion 62, and the stopper portion 614 of the first base portion 61 is exposed from the left portion of the second base portion 62. The left side of the second base portion 62 is provided with an attachment flange portion 621 that protrudes downward from its front edge. The second base portion 62 has a second flange portion 622 that protrudes rearward and downward from its rear edge, and this second flange portion 622 is overlapped and fixed to the first flange portion 613 of the first base portion 61.

Referring to Figures 13 to 15, the third base portion 63 of the main body portion 600 is disposed on the left side of the first base portion 61 while being fixed to the second base portion 62. As shown in Figures 14 and 15, the third base portion 63 has a bottom plate portion 631 forming the bottom surface and a front plate portion 632 protruding upward from the front edge of the bottom plate portion 631, and this front plate portion 632 is placed against the outer surface (front surface) of the mounting flange portion 621 of the second base portion 62 and fixed with a bolt BM. The third base portion 63 is provided with a right plate portion 633 that protrudes upward along the right edge of the bottom plate portion 631, and an insertion portion 70 and an elastic support portion 80, which will be described later, are disposed on this right plate portion 633.

[Insertion section]
15 and 16, the insertion portion 70 is a member that is inserted from the moving member 45 side (the upper side of each figure) so as to come into contact with the first sliding member 51, and is provided on the right side of the third base portion 63 (the right plate portion 633). The insertion portion 70 has a generally cubic mounting portion 71 with an open lower side, and an insertion portion 72 provided on the mounting portion 71. The mounting portion 71 is attached to the right side of the third base portion 63 by inserting the right plate portion 633 of the third base portion 63 from the lower side. The left wall 712 of the mounting portion 71 is notched at approximately its center to allow the insertion of the elastic support portion 80 (shaft material 81) described later. The right wall 711 of the mounting portion 71 is integrally provided with an insertion portion 72 that protrudes rightward and upward from its upper position.

15 and 16, the insertion portion 72 extends from the mounting portion 71 in the left-right direction along the third guide rail 530, i.e., along the sliding direction of the first sliding member 51. The right end E1 of the insertion portion 72 is located at the uppermost position, and the right end E1 side serves as a receiving portion 73 for receiving the first sliding member 51. The left end E2 of the insertion portion 72 is located at the lowermost position, and is disposed at a position lower than the upper end position E3 of the first sliding member 51 on the first guide rail 510. In this way, the insertion portion 72 is inclined to the right and upward from the mounting portion 71 (generally wedge-shaped), and is configured to gradually move from the base member 35 side to the moving member 45 side as it moves from the mounting portion 71 to the receiving portion 73. The upper wall portion 612 of the first base portion 61 is located on the movable member 45 side (upper side) of the insertion portion 72, and the right end portion E1 of the insertion portion 72 contacts this upper wall portion 612.

[Elastic support part]
15 and 16, the elastic support 80 is a member that elastically supports the insertion portion 70 in the sliding direction of the sliding member (the left-right direction in each figure), and is provided on the left side of the third base portion 63 (right plate portion 633). This elastic support 80 has a generally cylindrical shaft member 81 and a compression coil spring-like elastic member 82 fitted to this shaft member 81. The shaft member 81 is formed so as to extend in the sliding direction of the first sliding member 51, and its right end side is inserted into the right plate portion 633 of the third base portion 63. The elastic member 82 is fitted to the shaft member 81 while facing in the left-right direction. A tip portion 821 on the right side of this elastic member 82 abuts against the left wall 712 of the mounting portion 71 of the insertion portion 70. A base end portion 822 of the elastic member 82 on the opposite side (left side) to the tip portion 821 is supported by an adjustment mechanism 90 described later. Therefore, the elastic support part 80 can elastically support the insertion part 70 in the sliding direction (left-right direction) of the first sliding member 51 by the elastic force of the elastic material 82. Moreover, the elastic support part 80 is configured to move the insertion part 70 to the left by compression of the elastic material 82, and to move the insertion part 70 to the right by expansion of the elastic material 82.

[Adjustment mechanism]
15 to 17, the adjustment mechanism 90 is a mechanism capable of adjusting the support force of the elastic support part 80 against the insertion part 70, and is attached to the shaft member 81 of the elastic support part 80. The adjustment mechanism 90 is a double nut consisting of a first nut 91 screwed onto the shaft member 81 and a second nut 92 screwed onto the shaft member 81 in the opposite direction to the first nut 91. The first nut 91 is screwed onto a first threaded part 811 on the left side of the shaft member 81, and the second nut 92 is screwed onto a small-diameter second threaded part 812 formed to the left of the first threaded part 811 in the opposite direction. In this way, both nuts 91 and 92 as a double nut are screwed onto the shaft member 81 in a state where they are in contact with each other (in a state where there is no loosening) so as to be able to support the base end part 822 of the elastic member 82.

In the adjustment mechanism 90, the double nuts (91, 92) shown in FIG. 16 are screwed in such a way that their positions can be adjusted in the direction in which the shaft 81 extends, thereby allowing the support force against the insertion portion 70 to be adjusted. For example, in this embodiment, the position of the double nuts (91, 92) can be adjusted within the range in which the first nut 91 can move relative to the first screw portion 811. Therefore, by shifting the position of the double nuts (91, 92) to the right of the shaft 81 and compressing the elastic material 82, the support force of the elastic support portion 80 against the insertion portion 70 can be strengthened. Conversely, by shifting the position of the double nuts (91, 92) to the left of the shaft 81 and stretching the elastic material 82, the support force of the elastic support portion 80 against the insertion portion 70 can be weakened.

[Behavior of each sliding member accompanying rotational movement of the rotation mechanism]
18, when the seat body 20 at the boarding/alighting position rotates to the storage position, the base member 35 and the moving member 45 rotate relative to each other while sliding the sliding members 51 to 54 on the guide rails 510 to 540. Hereinafter, the behavior of each sliding member will be described using the first sliding member 51 provided on the front left side of the moving member 45 as an example. This first sliding member 51 rotates left (rotates counterclockwise when viewed from above) together with the moving member 45 near the storage position and is supported by the first guide rail 510. Then, when the moving member 45 supporting the seat body 20 reaches the storage position, the first sliding member 51 provided on the moving member 45 is stopped by the stopper mechanism 60. In the vehicle seat device 10 at this storage position, the first sliding member 51 is stopped by the stopper mechanism 60 so as not to rattle, and it is desirable that the accuracy of the stopper mechanism 60 at this time be easily controlled. That is, referring to FIG. 16, it is desirable to easily manage the gap between the insertion portion 70 and the first sliding member 51 (the gap indicated by the reference symbol D2 in the figure).

16 and 19, the stopper mechanism 60 of this embodiment has an insertion portion 70 that is inserted so as to come into contact with the first sliding member 51 from the moving member 45 side, and an elastic support portion 80 that elastically supports the insertion portion 70 in the sliding direction of the first sliding member 51. The insertion portion 70 extends from the receiving portion 73 that can receive the first sliding member 51 in the direction along the sliding direction of the first sliding member 51, and is configured to gradually move from the base member 35 (the other member) side to the moving member 45 (the one member) side as it approaches the receiving portion 73. In this stopper mechanism 60, the support force of the elastic support portion 80 causes the insertion portion 70 to be inserted from the moving member 45 side and come into contact with the first sliding member 51, thereby stopping the first sliding member 51. The operation of the stopper mechanism 60 configured as described above will be described in detail below.

When the moving member 45 rotates relative to the base member 35 to the storage position, as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 19, the first sliding member 51 provided on the moving member 45 slides on the first guide rail 510 and is guided to the stopper mechanism 60. The first sliding member 51 then moves along the first base portion 61 of the stopper mechanism 60 and is received by the receiving portion 73 of the insertion portion 72 of the insertion portion 70. As described above, this insertion portion 72 has a shape (roughly wedge-shaped) that gradually approaches the upper side from the lower side as it moves from the mounting portion 71 to the receiving portion 73. Therefore, as the first sliding member 51 slides further, the insertion portion 72 is inserted into the moving member 45 side, that is, the gap between the upper wall portion 612 of the first base portion 61 and the first sliding member 51. The elastic force of the elastic support 80 causes the insertion portion 72 of the insertion portion 70 to come into contact with the first sliding member 51 from the moving member 45 side, stopping the first sliding member 51. By allowing the roughly wedge-shaped insertion portion 72 to be elastically inserted in this way, the gap between the first sliding member 51 and the insertion portion 70 (the gap indicated by symbol D2 in FIG. 16) can be absorbed by the insertion of the insertion portion 72. Therefore, with the above configuration, it becomes easy to manage the gap (D2) between the insertion portion 70 and the first sliding member 51 shown in FIG. 16, that is, to manage the accuracy of the stopper mechanism 60.

In addition, in the elastic support part 80 of the above configuration, the insertion part 70 shown in FIG. 19 is moved to the left by compression of the elastic material 82, and the insertion part 70 is moved to the right by expansion of the elastic material 82. Therefore, in the stopper mechanism 60, when the first sliding member 51 abuts against the insertion part 72, the load of the first sliding member 51 can be absorbed by moving the insertion part 70 to the left by compression of the elastic material 82. Also, when the first sliding member 51 moves to the right in reaction to abutment with the insertion part 72, the insertion part 70 can be moved to the right by expansion of the elastic material 82 to follow. In addition, in the stopper mechanism 60, a stopper part 614 is provided on the left part of the first base part 61, and this stopper part 614 is located to the right of the elastic support part 80 (shaft material 81). Therefore, if the force of the first sliding member 51 cannot be fully absorbed by compression of the elastic material 82, as shown in FIG. 20, the receiving plate portion 46 on which the first sliding member 51 is supported is received by the stopper portion 614, thereby preventing unintended load input to the elastic support portion 80.

19, the insertion portion 72 is inserted between the stopped first sliding member 51 and the upper wall portion 612 of the first base portion 61 by the elastic force of the elastic support portion 80. The insertion portion 72 in this state exerts a wedge effect that tries to push the first sliding member 51 downward by its repulsive force, and this wedge effect is exerted even when the support force of the elastic support portion 80 is weak. Therefore, the wedge effect of the insertion portion 72 can reduce the gap between the first sliding member 51 and the first guide rail 510 (base member 35), thereby suppressing the vertical rattle of the first sliding member 51. In particular, the first sliding member 51 is relatively far from the rotation center RC of the seat body 20 in the storage position, as shown in FIG. 11, and is therefore prone to large rattle due to the vertical movement of the seat body 20. Therefore, in the stopper mechanism 60, the wedge effect of the insertion portion 72 shown in FIG. 19 suppresses the up and down movement of the first sliding member 51 (the action of the thrusting force), making it possible to minimize the generation of abnormal noise caused by the rattle of the first sliding member 51.

In addition, in the vehicle seat device 10, when the seat body 20 in the storage position shown in FIG. 11 is rotated to the boarding/alighting position by human force or the like, it is desirable that the operating load of the moving member 45 at that time is small. Therefore, in the stopper mechanism 60 configured as described above, even if the support force of the elastic support portion 80 shown in FIG. 19 is weak, the wedge effect of the insertion portion 70 can suppress the rattle of the first sliding member 51. Therefore, the insertion of the insertion portion 72 into the first sliding member 51 is suppressed, and excessive downward pressing force is not applied to the first sliding member 51. Therefore, when the seat body 20 is moved to the boarding/alighting position, the first sliding member 51 can be moved with a relatively small operating force, which contributes to ensuring the operability of the moving member 45.

As described above, in the stopper mechanism 60 of this embodiment, the insertion portion 70 has a shape (roughly wedge-shaped) that approaches the moving member 45 side as it approaches the receiving portion 73, and is elastically supported by the elastic support portion 80. Therefore, the roughly wedge-shaped insertion portion 70 is inserted from the moving member 45 side by the support force of the elastic support portion 80 and abuts against the first sliding member 51, thereby stopping the first sliding member 51. Therefore, there is no need to strictly manage the gap between the first sliding member 51 and the insertion portion 70, and the accuracy management of the stopper mechanism 60 can be easily performed. And, by the wedge effect of the insertion portion 70 inserted so as to abut against the first sliding member 51, the gap between the first sliding member 51 and the base member 35 is narrowed, thereby suppressing the rattling of the first sliding member 51. In addition, in the stopper mechanism 60 of this embodiment, even if the support force of the elastic support portion 80 is weak, the wobbling of the first sliding member 51 can be suppressed by the wedge effect of the insertion portion 70. Therefore, excessive pressing force is not applied to the first sliding member 51, which contributes to ensuring the operability of the moving member 45. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the stopper mechanism 60, which is relatively easy to control in accuracy, can stop the sliding member 45 while ensuring the operability of the moving member 45 and preventing it from wobbling as much as possible. Therefore, the vehicle stopper structure of this embodiment does not require severe part assembly and inspection work (gap adjustment), and by omitting a member that presses the first sliding member 51 excessively downward, it is a configuration that contributes to reducing assembly costs and part costs. Furthermore, by adjusting the support force of the elastic support portion 80 and reducing the operating force of the moving member 45, it is a configuration that contributes to ensuring an excellent operating feeling.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, the support force of the insertion portion 70 by the elastic support portion 80 is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism 90, so that it is possible to more reliably achieve both the operability of the moving member 45 and the suppression of rattling of the first sliding member 51. In particular, the simple adjustment mechanism 90 using a double nut makes it possible to adjust the support force of the insertion portion 70 by the elastic support portion 80. In addition, in this embodiment, the moving member 45 is rotated while supporting the seat body 20, which contributes to ensuring ease of getting in and out. And the first sliding member 51 that is relatively far from the rotation center RC of the seat body 20 in the storage position, i.e., the first sliding member 51 that is prone to rattling, can be stopped by the stopper mechanism 60.

[Modification 1]
Here, the stopper mechanism may have various configurations in addition to the above configuration. For example, the stopper mechanism 60X of the modified example 1 shown in FIG. 21 is provided with an adjuster adjustment mechanism AD (modified adjustment mechanism) that adjusts the vertical position of the insertion part 70, and is configured to be able to change the distance H1 between the insertion part 72 and the base member 35 (first guide rail 510). This adjuster adjustment mechanism AD has an adjuster plate 68 fixed to the upper side of the insertion part 70, and an adjustment screw 69 inserted into the adjuster plate 68 and the moving member 45. The vertical position of the adjuster plate 68 relative to the moving member 45 can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment screw 69. According to the above configuration, it is possible to adjust the support force of the elastic support part 80, i.e., the degree of expansion and contraction of the elastic material 82, by changing the distance H1 between the insertion part 72 and the base member 35 by moving the adjuster plate 68 up and down. For example, the closer the insertion portion 72 is to the base member 35, the less the insertion portion 72 is inserted into the first sliding member 51, and the elastic material 82 of the elastic support portion 80 can be compressed (the support force can be strengthened).

[Modification 2]
22, the stopper mechanism 60Y of the insertion portion 70Y can have an insertion portion 72Y with a triangular cross section, i.e., the insertion portion 72Y can be inclined to the tip (a modification of the adjustment mechanism). By making the insertion portion 72Y inclined to the tip in this way and changing the distance H1 from the base member 35, it becomes possible to adjust the support force of the elastic support portion 80.

[Modification 3]
The stopper mechanism 60Z of the modified example 3 shown in FIG. 23 is configured to be able to select and install an appropriate insert part or elastic support part from among a plurality of insert parts or a plurality of elastic materials (modified adjustment mechanism). For example, the insert part of the first embodiment and the insert part 70Z having an insert part 72Z with an inclination angle θ different from that of the first embodiment may be prepared, and one of them may be selected and used. Alternatively, the elastic support part of the first embodiment and the elastic support part 80Z having an elastic material 82 with a spring constant different from that of the first embodiment may be prepared, and one of them may be used. As the elastic material, various spring materials and rubber materials (including elastomers) may be appropriately selected and used. Alternatively, a spring material whose spring constant changes in multiple stages, such as an unequal pitch spring, may be used, and the spring constant may be increased as the insert part that receives the sliding member approaches the shaft material 81.

[Example 2]
In the second embodiment, the components having the same basic configuration as those in the first embodiment are denoted by corresponding reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted. The welfare vehicle C shown in FIG. 24 is provided with a rear lifter 10C for lifting and lowering a wheelchair (not shown) inside the door opening H. The rear lifter 10C is provided with a horizontal platform 20C for placing a wheelchair or the like, and a pair of left and right lifting link mechanisms 40C for lifting and lowering the platform 20C in a horizontal state. The lower end of the lifting link mechanism 40C is provided with a platform holder 30C for supporting the platform 20C from the left and right in a state in which the platform 20C can slide forward and backward. This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the welfare vehicle C having the rear lifter 10C is provided with stopper mechanisms (61C, 62C).

24, the lifting link mechanism 40C is composed of fixed brackets 41C provided on the left and right rear parts of the vehicle interior floor 15C, a four-joint link mechanism 43C connected to the left and right fixed brackets 41C in a vertically rotatable state, a lifting arm 44C in an upright state connected to the tip of the four-joint link mechanism 43C in a vertically rotatable state, and a hydraulic cylinder (not shown) that lifts and lowers the lifting arm 44C by rotating the four-joint link mechanism 43C up and down. The four-joint link mechanism 43C is a link mechanism with relatively rotatable connection points (fulcrums) at the four corners, and is composed of a link support part 411C of the fixed bracket 41C, an upper link 433C, a lower link 434C, and a link support part 445C of the lifting arm 44C. The hydraulic cylinder then rotates the four-joint link mechanism 43C up and down, causing the lift arm 44C to rise and fall while remaining in an upright position, as shown by the solid and dashed lines in FIG. 24.

As shown in FIG. 25, platform holders 30C are provided at the lower ends of the left and right lifting arms 44C, and the platform 20C is supported by the left and right platform holders 30C in a state where it can slide back and forth (for convenience, the same members on the right and left sides are given the same reference numerals in FIG. 25). Front sliding members 51C are provided at the left and right positions of the front of the platform holder 30C, and rear sliding members 52C are provided at the left and right positions of the rear of the platform holder 30C. These front and rear sliding members 51C, 52C are supported by upper flanges 200C that extend forward and backward at the upper edge of the platform 20C. The platform holder 30C is provided with an electric slide device (not shown) that slides the platform 20C forward and backward relative to the platform holder 30C. The platform 20C is provided with wheel-shaped front end sliding members 53C at the left and right positions of its front end.

In addition, at the rear of the vehicle compartment floor 15C of the welfare vehicle C, a recess 17C is formed in which the platform 20C is stored horizontally, as shown in Figure 24. The platform 20C is then slid forward to the forward limit position, i.e., the recess 17C, by the operation of the electric slide device of the platform holder 30C, as shown by the solid line in Figure 24, so that the platform 20C is stored in the recess 17C of the vehicle compartment floor 15C. In this state, the wheelchair placed on the platform 20C can be guided to the floor surface at the front of the vehicle compartment floor 15C.

In the above configuration, the platform 20C as a moving member shown in FIG. 24 moves in the vehicle front-rear direction relative to the vehicle floor 15C as a base member. The recess 17C provided at the rear of the vehicle floor 15C is in the storage position. The platform 20C moves toward the front of the vehicle relative to the platform holder 30C and is placed in the recess 17C, which is the storage position. In the platform 20C in this storage position, the front end sliding member 53C at its front end is stopped at the front end position of the recess 17C. That is, the front end sliding member 53C is stopped by the first stopper mechanism 61C provided at the front end position of the recess 17C via an L-shaped bracket. In this first stopper mechanism 61C, the insertion portion 71C is configured to move gradually from the lower side to the upper side as it moves toward the rear end (receiving port), that is, from the recess 17C (the other member) side to the platform 20C (one member) side. Therefore, the wedge effect of the insertion portion 71C reduces the gap between the front end sliding member 53C and the recess 17C, making it possible to suppress rattling of the front end sliding member 53C.

Referring to FIG. 24, the platform 20C as a moving member moves toward the front of the vehicle relative to the platform holder 30C as a base member, so that the rear sliding member 52C of the platform holder 30C moves relative to the rear end of the platform 20C. At this time, the platform holder 30C equipped with the rear sliding member 52C is disposed above the platform 20C equipped with the front end sliding member 53C. The rear sliding member 52C is stopped by a second stopper mechanism 62C provided at the rear end position of the platform 20C. In this second stopper mechanism 62C, the insertion portion 72C is configured to move gradually from the lower side to the upper side as it moves toward the front end (receiving port), that is, from the platform 20C (the other member) side to the platform holder 30C (one member) side. Therefore, the wedge effect of the insertion portion 72C pushes the rear sliding member 52C downward to suppress up and down movement, thereby suppressing wobbling of the rear sliding member 52C. Thus, in this embodiment as well, the stopper mechanism (61C, 62C), which is relatively easy to control for accuracy, can be used to stop the sliding members (52C, 53C) with as little wobbling as possible while ensuring operability of the moving members (platform 20C, etc.).

The vehicle stopper structure of this embodiment is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can take various other embodiments. In Example 1, the configuration of each sliding member 51 to 54 is exemplified, but the configuration of each sliding member is not limited. For example, a plurality of sliding members can be provided independently on either the base member or the moving member, and at least one of them can be stopped by the stopper mechanism. In a configuration in which the seat body is rotated and moved, the sliding member to be stopped can be selected regardless of the center of rotation, but it is desirable to select a sliding member that is relatively far from the center of rotation (especially the farthest). The number of sliding members can be set appropriately, and the arrangement position of each sliding member does not need to be limited to the four corners or ends of the moving member (base member). Various sliding members can be used as the sliding members, for example, roller-shaped, wheel-shaped, or spherical members can be used.

In this embodiment, the configuration of the stopper mechanism is exemplified, but the configuration of the stopper mechanism is not limited. The stopper mechanism requires an insertion portion and an elastic support portion, and may or may not have an adjustment mechanism. The insertion portion (insertion portion) may be configured to linearly move toward one of the members as it approaches the receiving opening (inclined surface shape), or may be configured to change the inclination angle in multiple stages, or may be curved or stepped. The insertion portion may have a plate-shaped or block-shaped (dense) insertion portion. A reinforcing material may be integrally provided on one of the members of the insertion portion, or a reinforcing structure may be provided to reinforce the one of the members of the insertion portion. The reinforcing material or reinforcing structure may replace the upper wall of the first base portion in Example 1.

In this embodiment, the configuration in which the moving member is rotated on the base member in Example 1 is exemplified. The moving member can be rotated by a rotating mechanism having a four-joint link mechanism or a rotating mechanism having a driven gear, and it is not necessary to tilt the seat body at the boarding and disembarking position forward (tilt). The moving member can be moved in the vehicle front-rear direction, vehicle width direction, vehicle height direction, etc., relative to the base member, and in this case, the sliding member provided on the moving member, etc. can be stopped by a stopper mechanism. The moving member and the base member may be arranged so as to overlap from the vehicle height direction (up-down direction) or from the vehicle width direction. The configuration of Example 2 can be applied to welfare vehicles such as slope vehicles, and for example, the wheels (sliding members) of a wheelchair or the like as the moving member can be stopped by a stopper mechanism provided on the vehicle floor as the base member. The configurations of each example and each modified example can be used in appropriate combination.
