　次にこの回転式電子部品を組み立てるには、まず操作型物５０上にクリック用板バネ６５を載置してその際各固定部５３を挿入部７１に挿入してその先端を熱カシメして固定する。また操作型物５０の下面には摺動子６１を固定しておく。 Next, in order to assemble the rotary electronic component, first, a leaf spring 65 for click is placed on the operation type object 50, and at this time, each fixing portion 53 is inserted into the insertion portion 71, and the tip thereof is thermally caulked. Fix it. A slider 61 is fixed to the lower surface of the operation type object 50.

　一方ケース８０の下面にはクリック板７５を取り付けておく。その際仕切り部材８５を開口７６に挿入し、２本の係止部７９を係止部８３，８３に挿入してその先端をケース８０の上面側で折り曲げることで固定する。 ク リ ッ ク A click plate 75 is attached to the lower surface of the one case 80. At that time, the partition member 85 is inserted into the opening 76, the two locking portions 79 are inserted into the locking portions 83, 83, and the ends thereof are bent and fixed on the upper surface side of the case 80.

　そしてつまみ１１０の開口１１１に押釦１００を収納し、その際押釦１００の各係止部１０３を挿入部１１７に挿入してガイドせしめ、次にその下側にクリック板７５を取り付けたケース８０を取り付け、その際押釦１００の押圧部１０１を挿通孔８１に挿通する。 Then, the push button 100 is stored in the opening 111 of the knob 110, and at this time, each locking portion 103 of the push button 100 is inserted into the insertion portion 117 to guide, and then the case 80 to which the click plate 75 is attached is attached to the lower side. At this time, the pressing portion 101 of the push button 100 is inserted into the insertion hole 81.

　次に摺動子６１とクリック用板バネ６５とを取り付けた操作型物５０を取り付ける。その際ケース８０の仕切り部材８５を、操作型物５０の開口５１内に挿入し、操作型物５０を仕切り部材８５の外周で回動自在に軸支する。同時につまみ１１０外周の各係止部１１５(図５参照)を操作型物５０の各係止部５５に係合して両者を一体に固定する。 Next, the operation type object 50 to which the slider 61 and the click leaf spring 65 are attached is attached. At this time, the partition member 85 of the case 80 is inserted into the opening 51 of the operation member 50, and the operation member 50 is rotatably supported on the outer periphery of the partition member 85. At the same time, each locking portion 115 (see FIG. 5) on the outer periphery of the knob 110 is engaged with each locking portion 55 of the operation type object 50 to fix them together.

　そしてその下にフレキシブル基板２０と基台１０とを取り付け、フレキシブル基板２０に設けた各係止用孔２５と基台１０に設けた係止孔１１とに、ケース８０に設けた係止片９１を貫通し、その先端を基台１０の下面で熱カシメして固定する。 The flexible board 20 and the base 10 are attached thereunder. The locking pieces 25 provided in the case 80 are provided in the locking holes 25 provided in the flexible board 20 and the locking holes 11 provided in the base 10. , And the tip is fixed by heat caulking on the lower surface of the base 10.

　図６は以上のようにして組み立てられた回転式電子部品の概略側断面図である。同図は説明の都合上、各部の切断面が異なっている。 FIG. 6 is a schematic side sectional view of the rotary electronic component assembled as described above. In the figure, the cut surface of each part is different for convenience of explanation.

　同図に示すように操作型物５０とつまみ１１０とは、両者の外周に設けた係止部１１５，５５を係合・一体化することで、一体に回転するように構成されている。 操作 As shown in the figure, the operation type object 50 and the knob 110 are configured to rotate integrally by engaging and integrating locking portions 115 and 55 provided on the outer periphery of the both.

　また操作型物５０とつまみ１１０のそれぞれの中央にはそれぞれ開口５１，１１１が設けられ、これら開口５１，１１１の内部に押釦１００と二重押圧スイッチ機構部３０からなるスイッチ機構が収納されている。 Further, openings 51 and 111 are provided at the centers of the operation type object 50 and the knob 110, respectively, and a switch mechanism including the push button 100 and the double press switch mechanism unit 30 is housed inside the openings 51 and 111. .

　つまりこの回転式電子部品は、フレキシブル基板２０上に操作型物５０を回動自在に配置し、さらに操作型物５０の上部に操作型物５０の外周を覆うとともに操作型物５０と一体に回転するつまみ１１０を両者の外周で係合することで取り付け、操作型物５０とつまみ１１０のそれぞれの中央に設けた開口５１，１１１内にスイッチ機構(他の部材)を収納し、操作型物５０の開口５１とその内側のスイッチ機構を収納する空間の間を仕切る仕切り部材８５によって操作型物５０を回動自在に軸支するように構成されている。 In other words, the rotary electronic component has the operation-type object 50 rotatably disposed on the flexible substrate 20, and further covers the outer periphery of the operation-type object 50 above the operation-type object 50 and rotates integrally with the operation-type object 50. A knob 110 is attached by engaging the outer periphery of the two, and a switch mechanism (other member) is housed in openings 51 and 111 provided at the center of the operation type object 50 and the knob 110, respectively. The operation type object 50 is rotatably supported by a partition member 85 that partitions between the opening 51 and the space for housing the switch mechanism inside the opening 51.

　そしてつまみ１１０を回動すれば、これと一体に操作型物５０及び摺動子６１が回動してフレキシブル基板２０上の摺接パターン２１，２３から所望の電気的出力(この実施形態の場合はオンオフ信号であるが、抵抗値変化などの出力が得られるようにしてもよい)が出力される。つまみ１１０を回動するときは、クリック用板バネ６５のクリック部６９がクリック板７５のクリック係合部７７に係合離脱することでクリック感触が得られる。なおつまみ１１０の回動は、つまみ１１０の下面に設けたストッパー部１１９がケース８０に設けた当接面９５，９５に当接することでその回転が規制される。 When the knob 110 is rotated, the operation type object 50 and the slider 61 are integrally rotated with the knob 110, and a desired electrical output is obtained from the sliding contact patterns 21 and 23 on the flexible substrate 20 (in the case of this embodiment). Is an on / off signal, but an output such as a change in resistance may be obtained. When the knob 110 is rotated, the click portion 69 of the click leaf spring 65 is disengaged from the click engagement portion 77 of the click plate 75 to obtain a click feeling. Note that the rotation of the knob 110 is restricted by the stopper portion 119 provided on the lower surface of the knob 110 abutting against the abutting surfaces 95 provided on the case 80.

　一方押釦１００を押圧すると、まず上側のクリック板４７が反転して上側のスイッチがオンし、さらに押釦１００を押し込むと作動型物４３が下降してその押圧部４５が下側のクリック板３７を押圧してこれを反転し下側のスイッチもオンする。押釦１００の押圧を解除すると下側のスイッチから順にオフされる。 On the other hand, when the push button 100 is pressed, the upper click plate 47 is first turned upside down and the upper switch is turned on. When pressed, the switch is reversed and the lower switch is turned on. When the pressing of the push button 100 is released, the switches are sequentially turned off from the lower switch.

　以上のように本実施形態によれば、つまみ１１０と操作型物５０の結合を両者の外周において行ったので、つまみ１１０の下面側の内部において両者結合のための結合部分を設ける必要がなく、その分その外径の小型化が図れる。特にこの実施形態の場合は、内部に他の部材（スイッチ機構など）挿入用の空間を設ける構造のためにつまみ１１０の下面側の内部において両者結合のための結合部を設けるスペースが制限されているので、効果的である。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the knob 110 and the operation type object 50 are connected at the outer periphery of both, there is no need to provide a connecting portion for the connection between the knob 110 and the inside of the lower surface side of the knob 110. The outer diameter can be reduced accordingly. In particular, in the case of this embodiment, the space for inserting the other members (such as a switch mechanism) is provided inside the knob 110, so that the space for providing the coupling portion for coupling the two is limited inside the lower surface of the knob 110. So it is effective.

　以上本発明の実施形態を詳細に説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく特許請求の範囲に記載された技術的思想の範囲内で種々の変更が可能であることは言うまでもない。即ち各部材の形状・構造は種々の変形が可能である。 Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various changes can be made within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims. Needless to say. That is, the shape and structure of each member can be variously modified.

This rotary electronic component is configured by mounting a key top 390 for a push button and a rotary knob 400 on a case 395 mounted on a substrate 380. The pressing portion 391 of the key top 390 is held by a case 395 so as to be vertically movable, and the pressing portion 391 is in contact with a click plate 381 provided on the upper surface of the substrate 380. Further, the rotary knob 400 is attached to the operation type object 410 inside the case 395 so as to rotate integrally with the operation type object 410, and the slider 420 attached to the lower surface of the operation type object 410 has a sliding contact provided on the substrate 380. It is configured to contact the pattern 383. When the key top 390 is pressed, the click plate 381 is inverted and the switch on the substrate 380 provided immediately below is turned on. When the rotary knob 400 is rotated, the slider 420 slides on the sliding contact pattern 383. Change its output. This rotary electronic component also has a structure used by the rotary knob 400 to rotate it to the outer peripheral side surface 401, and is configured so that the rotary knob 400 completely covers the outer circumference of the case 395.

　ところで中央の空間内に収納するのは上記各実施形態のような押釦スイッチ機構に限定されない。即ち一段式の押釦スイッチ機構や回転式電子部品等、他の種々の部材(電子部品)を収納するように構成してもよい。またフレキシブル基板２０は硬質基板で構成してもよい。 By the way, what is stored in the central space is not limited to the push-button switch mechanism as in the above embodiments. That is, it may be configured to house various other members (electronic components) such as a one-stage push button switch mechanism and a rotary electronic component. Further, the flexible substrate 20 may be constituted by a hard substrate.
