Vehicle door lock device
A vehicle door lock device includes: a remote control device that is provided in the middle of an operation transmitting system between a lock device, which binds a door of a vehicle such that the door becomes not able to move, and a door handle, in which a connection member that absorbs an excessive operation force by being elastically deformed in a direction in which the operation force is transmitted is interposed between a transmitting member that transmits an operation force input to the door handle and an input lever on the remote control device side to which the operation force is input via the transmitting member.
1. A vehicle door lock device comprising:
a remote control device that is provided in the middle of an operation transmitting system between a lock device, which binds a door of a vehicle such that the door becomes not able to move, and a door handle, and
a connection member that is interposed between a transmitting member that transmits an operation force inputted to the door handle and an input lever of the remote control device to which the operation force is inputted via the transmitting member,
wherein the connection member has a curved plate shape that extends in a direction in which the operation force is transmitted, is configured to absorb a predetermined operation force by being elastically deformed in the direction in which the operation force is transmitted, and a transmitting member side of the connection member and an input lever side of the connection member are offset such that a center of each side, in a thickness direction of the connection member, are not in line with each other.
2. The vehicle door lock device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the connection member is formed of resin.
3. The vehicle door lock device according to claim 2 ,
wherein the connection member includes a rib-shaped portion that extends in the direction in which the operation force is transmitted.
4. The vehicle door lock device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the connection member includes a rib-shaped portion that extends in the direction in which the operation force is transmitted.
5. The vehicle door lock device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the connection member includes a hole on the transmitting member side of the connection member configured for connecting with the transmitting member, and a rib which surrounds the hole.
