Vehicle door lock device
A vehicle door lock device includes a lock/unlock unit including a lock/unlock mechanism switching whether to transmit a door opening operation to a latch mechanism; and a transmission unit transmitting a lock/unlock operation to the lock/unlock unit. Further, the lock/unlock unit includes a main case housing the lock/unlock mechanism and supporting the latch mechanism, an input member having a rotation shaft passing through the main case, being coupled to the lock/unlock mechanism in the main case, and having an external coupling part outside the main case; and a cover closing an opening of the main case, the transmission unit includes a coupling member coupling a turned member to the external coupling part, and a sub case housing the coupling member, and the external coupling part protrudes from the main case in a vehicle outside direction in a state where the main case is attached to the door.
1. A vehicle door lock device comprising:
a lock/unlock unit including a lock/unlock mechanism that switches whether to transmit a door opening operation on a door to a latch mechanism; and
a transmission unit that transmits a lock/unlock operation with a key to the lock/unlock unit, wherein
the lock/unlock unit includes
a main case that houses therein the lock/unlock mechanism and supports the latch mechanism;
an input member having a rotation shaft passing through the main case, being coupled to the lock/unlock mechanism in the main case, and having an external coupling part outside the main case; and
a cover that closes an opening of the main case,
the transmission unit includes
a coupling member that couples a turned member to the external coupling part, the turned member rotating integrally with a rotor of a key cylinder, and
a sub case that houses therein the coupling member, and
the external coupling part protrudes from the main case in a vehicle outside direction in a state where the main case is attached to the door, and
the sub case has an adjustment unit that is capable of adjusting a relative position in a vehicle upper/lower direction with respect to the main case.
2. The vehicle door lock device according to claim 1 , further comprising a water immersion prevention body that integrally covers the main case and the cover from a vehicle upper side, and prevents water immersion into the main case.
3. The vehicle door lock device according to claim 2 , wherein
the water immersion prevention body further covers the sub case and prevents water immersion into the sub case.
4. The vehicle door lock device according to claim 2 , wherein
the water immersion prevention body has a first water immersion prevention body that integrally covers the main case and the cover from a vehicle upper side, and a second water immersion prevention body that covers the sub case, and
the sub case and the second water immersion prevention body have an adjustment unit that is capable of adjusting a relative position in a vehicle upper/lower direction with respect to the main case.
5. The vehicle door lock device according to claim 1 , wherein
the sub case is fixed to the main case with an undetachable fixing unit.
