Lever device
A clutch lever device ( 50 ) includes a clutch lever ( 60 ) rotatably provided and operated by a user, an elastic deformation portion ( 81 ) which is a generation source of an operation reaction force of the clutch lever ( 60 ), and a rotary body ( 91 ) which is configured to rotate around a first axis (O) in accordance with rotation of the clutch lever ( 60 ) and elastically deform the elastic deformation portion ( 81 ). The rotary body ( 91 ) is configured to change an elastic deformation amount of the elastic deformation portion ( 81 ) per unit rotation angle of the clutch lever ( 60 ) in accordance with a rotation angle from a pre-operation position of the clutch lever ( 60 ).
1. A lever device comprising:
a lever rotatably provided and operated by a user;
a single elastic deformation portion which is a generation source of an operation reaction force of the lever; and
a rotary body which is configured to rotate around a first axis in accordance with rotation of the lever and elastically deforms the elastic deformation portion,
wherein the rotary body is configured to change an elastic deformation amount of the elastic deformation portion per unit rotation angle of the lever in accordance with a rotation angle from a pre-operation position of the lever, and
as the operation amount of the lever increases, the elastic deformation amount of the elastic deformation portion per unit rotation angle of the lever decreases, and
wherein a roller which is rotatable around a second axis parallel to the first axis is disposed at a contact portion of the rotary body with respect to the elastic deformation Portion.
2. The lever device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic deformation portion is formed to be elastically deformable in a first direction,
the rotary body is provided to be engageable with the elastic deformation portion, and
a line segment passing through the first axis and a contact point between the rotary body and the elastic deformation portion is inclined with respect to the first direction when seen in a direction of the first axis.
3. The lever device according to claim 2 , wherein an angle between the first direction and the line segment is equal to or more than 95° and equal to or less than 135° in a state in which the lever is located at the pre-operation position and increases as an operation amount of the lever increases.
4. The lever device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic deformation portion is disposed on a side opposite to a side in which the lever extends with respect to a rotation center of the lever.
5. The lever device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic deformation portion comprises a coil spring.
6. The lever device according to claim 1 , further comprising a rotation sensor which detects the rotation angle of the lever,
wherein the rotation sensor is disposed coaxially with a rotation center of the lever.
7. The lever device according to claim 6 , wherein the rotation sensor is disposed below the lever.
