Abstract
Proposed is an operation apparatus for a vehicle that improves visibility and interior aesthetics by appearing/disappearing mechanism of a button. The operation apparatus includes a panel, an operation module capable of moving, through an opening of the panel, between a first position and a second position spaced apart from each other in a front-back direction, a button placed on the operation module, a rotary link rotatably provided on an axis orthogonal to the front-back direction, a drive source for rotating the rotary link, and a cam mechanism having a guide path for inducing an angular motion of the rotary link and, thereby, moving the operation module to the first position or the second position.
Claims11
An operation apparatus for a vehicle, the operation apparatus comprising:
- a panel provided in the vehicle and having an opening;
- an operation module capable of moving, through the opening, between a first position and a second position spaced apart from each other in a first direction and having a button disposed at a front end;
- a rotary link rotatably provided, at a rear of the operation module, on an axis extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;
- a drive source providing a driving force for rotating the rotary link;
- a cam pin provided on one of the operation module and the rotary link;
- and
- a cam pin guide provided on the other one of the operation module and the rotary link, connected to the cam pin to induce an angular motion in which the rotary link is rotated within a predetermined angular range, and having a guide path for moving the operation module to the first position or the second position according to a direction of the angular motion.
