Description

本発明は二段押圧スイッチ及び回転式電子部品付き押圧スイッチに関するものである。   The present invention relates to a two-stage press switch and a press switch with a rotary electronic component.

従来、スイッチの中には、キートップを押圧するとまず一段目のスイッチがオンし、さらにキートップを押し込むと二段目のスイッチもオンする構造の二段押圧スイッチがある。   Conventionally, among switches, there is a two-stage press switch having a structure in which a first-stage switch is turned on when a key top is pressed, and a second-stage switch is also turned on when the key top is further pressed.

そして従来の二段押圧スイッチは基板に設けたスイッチ接点上にクリック板（又は可動接点板）を取り付け、その上に押圧型物を載せ、押圧型物の上にさらにスイッチ接点を配置してその上にもクリック板（又は可動接点板）を取り付け、該クリック板の上にキートップを配置して構成されていた。そのとき何れのスイッチ接点を先にオンさせるかを確定するために、クリック板の弾性力を異ならせておく。   In the conventional two-stage press switch, a click plate (or a movable contact plate) is mounted on a switch contact provided on a substrate, a pressing mold is placed thereon, and a switch contact is further arranged on the pressing mold. A click plate (or movable contact plate) is also attached to the top, and a key top is arranged on the click plate. At that time, in order to determine which switch contact is to be turned on first, the elastic force of the click plate is varied.

そしてキートップを押圧すれば上側又は下側のクリック板の何れか一方が反転してクリック感覚を生じるとともにそのスイッチ接点がオンし、さらにキートップを押し込めばもう一方のクリック板が反転してクリック感覚を生じると共にそのスイッチ接点がオンする。   When the key top is pressed, either the upper or lower click plate is inverted to cause a click sensation and the switch contact is turned on. When the key top is further pressed, the other click plate is inverted and clicked. A sensation is generated and the switch contact is turned on.

しかしながらこのような構造の二段押圧スイッチにおいては、スイッチ接点をそれぞれ別の基板上に設置しなければならず、その厚みの薄型化が図れないという問題点があった。   However, in the two-stage press switch having such a structure, the switch contacts must be installed on different substrates, and the thickness cannot be reduced.

また電子機器の中には、押圧スイッチの周囲を囲むように回転式スイッチを設置する構造のものもあるが、その場合は押圧スイッチの周囲を囲むようにリング状の回転つまみを設置し、その下面に摺動子を取り付け、摺動子に対向する位置にスイッチパターンを設けた基板を配置する必要がある。しかしながらこのように構成するとスイッチ全体の外径寸法が大きくなってしまうという問題点があった。
実開平４−５２３３０号公報 特開平１０−１９９３７４号公報 In addition, some electronic devices have a structure in which a rotary switch is installed so as to surround the press switch. In that case, a ring-shaped rotary knob is installed so as to surround the press switch. It is necessary to attach a slider to the lower surface and arrange a substrate provided with a switch pattern at a position facing the slider. However, this configuration has a problem that the outer diameter of the entire switch is increased.
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-52330 JP-A-10-199374

本発明は上述の点に鑑みてなされたものでありその目的は、二段押圧スイッチの薄型化が図れ、またその外周に回転式電子部品の回転つまみを設置したときの外径寸法の小型化が図れる二段押圧スイッチ及び回転式電子部品付き押圧スイッチを提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to reduce the thickness of the two-stage press switch and to reduce the outer diameter when a rotary knob of a rotary electronic component is installed on the outer periphery thereof. Is to provide a two-stage press switch and a press switch with a rotary electronic component.

上記問題点を解決するため本発明にかかる二段押圧スイッチは、基台の上下面にそれぞれスイッチ接点を設け、基台をその面に垂直な方向にスライド自在に支持し、一方のスイッチ接点の上にキートップを配置し、他方のスイッチ接点の下に載置部材を配置し、キートップを押圧することで前記二つのスイッチ接点を順番にオンせしめることを特徴とする。   In order to solve the above problems, the two-stage press switch according to the present invention is provided with switch contacts on the upper and lower surfaces of the base, and supports the base slidably in a direction perpendicular to the surface. A key top is arranged above, a mounting member is arranged under the other switch contact, and the two switch contacts are sequentially turned on by pressing the key top.

ここで前記二段押圧スイッチは、一枚のフレキシブル基板を基台を挟んでその上下に位置するように折り曲げることでフレキシブル基板に設けた２つのスイッチ接点を基台の上下面にそれぞれ配置して構成することが好ましい。   Here, the two-stage pressing switch is arranged such that two switch contacts provided on the flexible substrate are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the base by bending a single flexible substrate so that it is positioned above and below the base. It is preferable to configure.

また本発明にかかる回転式電子部品付き押圧スイッチは、前記二段押圧スイッチと、前記二段押圧スイッチの下側に回転式電子部品の機能部を設置し前記機能部を回動せしめる回転つまみを前記二段押圧スイッチの外周を囲む位置に設けてなる構造の回転式電子部品と、を具備してなることを特徴とする。   Further, the press switch with a rotary electronic component according to the present invention includes the two-stage press switch and a rotary knob for rotating the function portion by installing a function portion of the rotary electronic component below the two-step press switch. And a rotary electronic component having a structure provided at a position surrounding the outer periphery of the two-stage press switch.

ここで前記載置部材は前記基台をスライド自在に支持するガイド部材であり、さらに前記ガイド部材には、前記回転式電子部品を回動自在に軸支する軸支部を設けることが好ましい。   Here, the mounting member is a guide member that slidably supports the base, and the guide member is preferably provided with a shaft support portion that pivotally supports the rotary electronic component.

１つの基台の上下面にスイッチ接点を設けるだけで二段押圧スイッチを構成したので、その薄型化が図れる。   Since the two-stage press switch is configured only by providing switch contacts on the upper and lower surfaces of one base, the thickness can be reduced.

一枚のフレキシブル基板に設けた２つのスイッチ接点をフレキシブル基板を折り曲げることで基台の上下面にそれぞれ配置したので、基台上下面へのスイッチ接点の設置が容易に行なえる。   Since the two switch contacts provided on one flexible board are arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the base by bending the flexible board, the switch contacts can be easily installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the base.

押圧スイッチの下側に回転式電子部品の機能部を設置したので、押圧スイッチと回転式電子部品とを一体化して回転つまみを押圧スイッチの外周を囲む位置に設けても、その外径寸法を小さくすることができる。   Since the functional part of the rotary electronic component is installed on the lower side of the press switch, even if the press switch and the rotary electronic component are integrated and the rotary knob is provided at a position surrounding the outer periphery of the press switch, the outer diameter dimension thereof can be reduced. Can be small.

特に基台をスライド自在に支持するガイド部材に、回転式電子部品を回動自在に軸支する軸支部を設ければ、部品点数の削減が図れ、且つ薄型化が図れる。   In particular, if the guide member that slidably supports the base is provided with a shaft support portion that rotatably supports the rotary electronic component, the number of components can be reduced and the thickness can be reduced.

次にこの回転式電子部品付き二段押圧スイッチの動作を主として図１を用いて説明する。まずキートップ１１０を押圧すると、押圧部１１３によってクリック板ｋ１が反転しクリック感覚を生じると同時に第１スイッチ基板９０のスイッチ接点がオンする。さらにキートップ１１０を押圧すると基台８０が平行にスライド下降し、押圧部７１によってクリック板ｋ２が反転しクリック感覚を生じると同時に第２スイッチ基板１００のスイッチ接点がオンする。キートップ１１０の押圧を解除すると、下側のクリック板ｋ２が元の状態に自動復帰してそのスイッチ接点がオフし、次に上側のクリック板ｋ１が元の状態に自動復帰してそのスイッチ接点がオフする。なおクリック板ｋ１，ｋ２の反転時の押圧力を逆にすれば、クリック板ｋ２が先にオンすることは言うまでもない。   Next, the operation of the two-stage press switch with a rotary electronic component will be described mainly with reference to FIG. First, when the key top 110 is pressed, the click plate k1 is reversed by the pressing portion 113 to generate a click feeling, and at the same time, the switch contact of the first switch board 90 is turned on. When the key top 110 is further pressed, the base 80 slides down in parallel, and the click plate k2 is reversed by the pressing portion 71 to generate a click feeling, and at the same time, the switch contact of the second switch board 100 is turned on. When the key top 110 is released, the lower click plate k2 automatically returns to its original state and its switch contact is turned off, and then the upper click plate k1 automatically returns to its original state and its switch contact. Turns off. Needless to say, if the pressing force when the click plates k1 and k2 are reversed is reversed, the click plate k2 is turned on first.

一方回転つまみ１２０を回動すれば、これと一体に回転型物４０が回転し、摺動子５０（図２参照）が回転式電子部品用基板３０のスイッチパターン３１，３１上を摺動し、そのオンオフ状態を切りかえる。同時にクリック板バネ６０の弾接部６３が取付板２０のクリック係合穴２５に係合・離脱してクリック感覚を生じる。回転つまみ１２０の回動はストッパー１２９がストッパー挿入部１１，２１内を移動する範囲（又はストッパー７５がストッパー挿入部４５内を移動する範囲）に限られる。   On the other hand, when the rotary knob 120 is rotated, the rotary mold 40 rotates integrally therewith, and the slider 50 (see FIG. 2) slides on the switch patterns 31 and 31 of the rotary electronic component substrate 30. , Switch its on / off state. At the same time, the elastic contact portion 63 of the click plate spring 60 engages and disengages from the click engagement hole 25 of the mounting plate 20 to generate a click feeling. The rotation of the rotary knob 120 is limited to the range in which the stopper 129 moves in the stopper insertion portions 11 and 21 (or the range in which the stopper 75 moves in the stopper insertion portion 45).
