When the multi-way input device that assembling constitutes like this, if ring-type disc spring 14 directly is wound on the large-diameter portion 13a of operating body 13, then assembling operation distortion or loss accident loaded down with trivial details, ring-type disc spring 14 also takes place easily.Therefore, the present embodiment example, as Figure 19 and shown in Figure 20, adopt following assemble method, that is: the assembling fixture 30 that the time will sell shape in the assembling anchor clamps that run through host body 10 run through jack 10c, ring-type disc spring 14 is wound on the interim state that keeps on this assembling fixture 30, successively groups such as operating body 13, lower casing 12 are gone in the upper casing 11.Like this, can be not the large-diameter portion 13a of operating body 13 be housed in the 1st blank part 21 by ring-type disc spring 14 with hindering, then, extract assembling fixture 30 if run through jack 10c from anchor clamps, then ring-type disc spring 14 can utilize the elasticity of self to be wound on the large-diameter portion 13a.Thereby, can carry out the group of ring-type disc spring 14 and operating body 13 swimmingly and go into operation, can obtain the good multi-way input device of assembleability.
And, in the present embodiment example, on host body 10, surround the jetty 10f of portion, 4 anchor clamps be set 10g and run through jack 10c with equally spaced configuration roughly, therefore, even it is closer apart from the 10f of jetty portion, 10g that each anchor clamps runs through jack 10c, by inserting coiling ring-type disc spring 14 on the assembling fixture 30 that these anchor clamps run through jack 10c, as shown in figure 19, can in advance ring-type disc spring 14 be remained on temporarily not the position of disturbing mutually with the large-diameter portion 13a of operating body 13.Thereby, do not worry hindering the miniaturization of multi-way input device by improving assembleability.
Below, mainly the action of the multi-way input device of present embodiment example is described based on Figure 13～Figure 18.This multi-way input device via not shown operating knob to any direction plane earth slide operating body 13, but when not giving the inoperation of operating physical force, be circular maintenance ring-type disc spring 14, therefore, as Fig. 2, Figure 13 and shown in Figure 14, the jut 13b of operating body 13 and drive division 13c lay respectively at the central part of outside opening 10b and the central part of open communication 10e.At this moment, owing to drive division 13c matches with each central portion of mating holes 15a, 16a, so the 1st and the 2nd slide block 15,16 all is maintained at the neutral position.
Under the state of Figure 13 and Figure 14, via the aforesaid operations button during along the long side direction slide operating body 13 of mating holes 15a, on the 1st slide block 15, do not act on operating physical force, but the 2nd slide block 16 drives to the direction of operating slippage because of being driven the 13c of portion, for example move on to Figure 15, state shown in Figure 16.In this case, the 1st sliding members 17 does not change with respect to the contact position of above-mentioned the 1st conductive pattern 25, but the 2nd sliding members 18 is with respect to the contact position variation of above-mentioned the 2nd conductive pattern 26.In addition since with the large-diameter portion 13a slippage of jut 13b and drive division 13c one, so as shown in figure 15, a side ring shape disc spring 14 elongations of moving at large-diameter portion 13a.
Equally, under the state of Figure 13 and Figure 14, during along the long side direction slide operating body 13 of mating holes 16a, on the 2nd slide block 16, do not act on operating physical force, thereby, the 2nd sliding members 18 does not change with respect to the contact position of the 2nd conductive pattern 26, but the 1st slide block 15 drives to the direction of operating slippage because of being driven the 13c of portion, and the 1st sliding members 17 changes with respect to the contact position of above-mentioned the 1st conductive pattern 25.In addition, though not shown, in this case, ring-type disc spring 14 is to the left and right directions elongation of Figure 13.
In addition, under Figure 13 and state shown in Figure 14, via the aforesaid operations button during to the diagonal slide operating body 13 of host body 10, the the 1st and the 2nd slide block 15,16 is corresponding with its direction of operating and slippage respectively to mutually orthogonal direction slippage ormal weight, for example move to Figure 17 and state shown in Figure 180, a side ring shape disc spring 14 that moves at large-diameter portion 13a extends.Thereby, to external circuit output and the 1st sliding members 17 detection signal corresponding, utilize not shown control part to carry out computing again, and can detect the glide direction and the slippage of operating body 13 by terminal 24 with the 2nd sliding members 18 detection signal corresponding with respect to the contact position of the 2nd conductive pattern 26 with respect to the contact position of the 1st conductive pattern 25.
And, behind such slide operating body 13, remove its operating physical force, then owing to the ring-type disc spring 14 that is pushed elongation by large-diameter portion 13a can utilize the original shape of returning elastically of self, so utilize the recuperability of this ring disc spring 14 that large-diameter portion 13a is pushed back, operating body 13 can automatically reset to Figure 13 and primary position shown in Figure 14.
The multi-way input device of aforesaid present embodiment example, when slide operating body 13, because the disc spring 14 in the ring-type of the outer peripheral face Elastic Contact of the complete discoideus large-diameter portion 13a of Zhou Shangyu is pushed to the glide direction elongation by this large-diameter portion 13a, even therefore make the operating body slippage that ring-type disc spring 14 is exceedingly extended.In addition owing to utilize the position of the interior perimembranous of the circular 10f of jetty portion, the 10g restriction ring-type disc spring 14 on the outstanding inwall that is formed on the 1st blank part 21, therefore, can be on full week with the position of equal condition restriction ring-type disc spring 14.Therefore, can adopt broad operating body 13 slidably the operation zone (operating area) time, even the deviation of glide direction difference, operating physical force does not almost have yet.In addition, when removing operating physical force, utilize the recuperability of the ring-type disc spring 14 of elongation to push back large-diameter portion 13a, therefore, can make operating body 13 automatically reset to primary position.Thereby the operability of this multi-way input device is extremely good.
In addition, 14 of employed ring-type disc springs need both ends 23a, the 23b of the disc spring 23 of buckle specific length to form simply in this multi-way input device, therefore, can suppress component costs.And ring-type disc spring 14 only temporarily increases and decreases its internal diameter ground strain, though can be repeatedly the slide living plastic deformation of also having difficult labour, therefore, can the good operability of long term maintenance.
And, in this multi-way input device, at least seal outside opening 10b, the open communication 10e of host body 10 at the primary position of operating body 13 by discoideus large-diameter portion 13a, therefore, foreign matter is few via the danger that these openings 10b, 10e enter the 1st blank part 21 or the 2nd blank part 22 when transporting multi-way input device etc.Thereby it is bad with the action of slide block 15,16 to be difficult to take place the ring-type disc spring 14 that brings because of entering of foreign matter, and foreign matter reduces attached to causing detecting bad danger on sliding members 17,18 or the conductive pattern 25,26, improves reliability.
In addition, this multi-way input device brings harmful effect for the detection action of this testing agency owing to the 1st blank part 21 of accommodating ring-type disc spring 14 is separated by next door 10d with the 2nd blank part 22 of accommodating testing agencies such as sliding members 17,18 and conductive pattern 25,26 so worry annular resilient parts (ring-type disc spring) 14.
In addition, when this multi-way input device of assembling, run through on the assembling fixture 30 among the jack 10c by in advance ring-type disc spring 14 being wound on the anchor clamps that run through host body 10, and the position that the large-diameter portion 13a that ring-type disc spring 14 can be remained on temporarily not the operating body 13 of going into group disturbs mutually, therefore, do not worry by ring-type disc spring 14 infringement assembleabilities yet.
Institute it should be noted that, in above-mentioned execution mode example, be illustrated on the top plate portion 10a of host body 10, being provided with the situation that anchor clamps run through jack 10c, but, also can be substituted in top plate portion 10a and anchor clamps are set run through jack, run through jack and same anchor clamps are set in other wall portions (for example every the 10d of portion) towards the space that has disposed ring-type disc spring 14 and large-diameter portion 13.In addition, also can only use among the 10f of jetty portion, the 10g any or use parts beyond the jetty 10f of portion, the 10g to carry out the position limit of the interior perimembranous of ring-type disc spring 14.In addition, except making sliding members 17,18 the detection mode of sliding on the conductive pattern 25,26, can also adopt light detection mode or magnetic detection mode, the electrostatic capacitance detection mode etc. of having utilized acceptance to send optical element.And operating mechanism also can only detect the glide direction of operating body 13.In addition, also can be used as resetting device substituted cyclic disc spring and use the rubber components of ring-type or elastomer etc.
