Description

本発明は、回転式電子部品の機能と押釦式電子部品の機能を併せ持つ電子部品に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an electronic component having both the function of a rotary electronic component and the function of a push button electronic component.

従来、回転式電子部品の中には、操作つまみを回転することでクリック感触を生じながら電気的出力を変化させ、一方操作つまみの中央に設置した押釦を押圧することで押圧スイッチを操作する構造の電子部品がある。 Conventionally, some rotary electronic components change the electrical output while producing a click feeling by rotating the operation knob, and operate the push switch by pressing the push button installed at the center of the operation knob. There are electronic parts.

例えば特許文献１に示す電子部品は、ケース５０の表面側に回転つまみ１０を設置し、ケース５０の裏面側にクリック板７０と摺動子１１０を重ね合わせて設置し、さらに回転つまみ１０の中央に設けた開口部１３内に押釦つまみ３０を設置し、前記回転つまみ１０を回転することでクリック板７０と摺動子１１０を回転してクリック感触を生じさせると同時に摺動子１１０が摺接パターン１７９上を摺動してその電気的出力を変化し、一方押釦つまみ３０を押圧することで中央スイッチ１８３をオンする構成となっている。そして前記クリック板７０のクリック弾接部７９とこのクリック弾接部７９が弾接してクリック感触を生じさせるクリック係合部１６５を開口部１３の押釦つまみ３０の下側の空き空間Ｃに設置している。このように構成すれば電子部品の外径の小型化が図れる。 For example, in the electronic component shown in Patent Document 1, the rotary knob 10 is installed on the front side of the case 50, the click plate 70 and the slider 110 are installed on the back side of the case 50, and the center of the rotary knob 10 is further arranged. The push button knob 30 is installed in the opening 13 provided in the door, and when the rotary knob 10 is rotated, the click plate 70 and the slider 110 are rotated to produce a click feeling, and at the same time, the slider 110 is in sliding contact. The central switch 183 is turned on by sliding on the pattern 179 to change its electrical output and pressing the push button knob 30. Then, a click elastic contact portion 79 of the click plate 70 and a click engagement portion 165 that causes the click elastic contact portion 79 to elastically generate a click feeling are installed in the empty space C below the push button knob 30 of the opening portion 13. ing. With this configuration, the outer diameter of the electronic component can be reduced.

しかしながら上記電子部品の場合、中央の狭い空間Ｃにクリック弾接部７９等を設置しなければならないので、クリック弾接部７９及びこれを支持する弾接アーム部７５が小さくなり、そのバネ性が阻害されて良好なクリック感触が得られなくなるばかりか、その耐久性に悪影響を及ぼす恐れがあった。この問題は特に電子部品を小型化すればするほど大きくなる。 However, in the case of the electronic component, the click elastic contact portion 79 and the like must be installed in the narrow space C at the center. In addition to being hindered from obtaining a good click feeling, the durability could be adversely affected. This problem becomes more serious as electronic components are made smaller.

上記問題を解決するには、例えば特許文献２に示すように、操作つまみ２１０と一体に回転する回転体９０を設置し、この回転体９０の上下面にそれぞれクリックバネ１２０と摺動子１００とを設置し、クリックバネ１２０の基部１２１の外周側に設けたアーム部１２３の弾接部１３１をケース１５０に設けたクリック係合部１５９に弾接する構成とすればよい。このように構成すれば弾接部１３１及びアーム部１２３の大きさ（長さ寸法や幅寸法や厚み寸法）を大きくでき、そのバネ性が良好になり、またその耐久性が向上する。 In order to solve the above problem, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2, a rotating body 90 that rotates integrally with an operation knob 210 is installed, and a click spring 120 and a slider 100 are respectively provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating body 90. And the elastic contact portion 131 of the arm portion 123 provided on the outer peripheral side of the base portion 121 of the click spring 120 may be configured to elastically contact the click engagement portion 159 provided in the case 150. If comprised in this way, the magnitude | size (length dimension, width dimension, thickness dimension) of the elastic contact part 131 and the arm part 123 can be enlarged, the spring property will become favorable, and the durability will improve.

しかしながらこの電子部品の場合、クリックバネ１２０の操作つまみ２１０への取り付けと、摺動子１００の回転体９０への取り付けとをそれぞれ別工程で行わなければならず、組立工程が煩雑であった。また操作つまみ２１０の中央には押釦つまみ１８０を上下動自在に収納する開口部２１２を設けているので、操作つまみ２１０とクリックバネ１２０間を連結するためのクリックバネ固定部２１９は開口部２１２の外側位置に設置しなければならず、その分クリックバネ１２０の基部１２１の外径寸法が大きくなり、アーム部１２３の外径寸法も大きくなり、回転式電子部品の小型化が阻害される恐れがあった。またクリックバネ１２０はケース１５０と回転体９０の間に設置されるので、弾接部１３１の上下動できるスペースはケース１５０と回転体９０の間の狭い空間となり、このため弾接部１３１の上下動を大きく取ることができず、良好なクリック感触が阻害される恐れがあった。 However, in the case of this electronic component, the attachment of the click spring 120 to the operation knob 210 and the attachment of the slider 100 to the rotating body 90 must be performed in separate processes, and the assembly process is complicated. In addition, since an opening 212 for accommodating the push button knob 180 is provided in the center of the operation knob 210 so as to be movable up and down, a click spring fixing portion 219 for connecting the operation knob 210 and the click spring 120 is provided at the opening 212. Accordingly, the outer diameter of the base 121 of the click spring 120 is increased, and the outer diameter of the arm 123 is also increased, which may hinder downsizing of the rotary electronic component. there were. In addition, since the click spring 120 is installed between the case 150 and the rotating body 90, the space in which the elastic contact portion 131 can move up and down is a narrow space between the case 150 and the rotating body 90. There was a risk that a large click could not be taken and a good click feeling could be hindered.

一方押釦１８０の押釦部１８１を押圧すれば、その押圧部１８３が中央スイッチ３３の反転板を押圧してこれを反転し、中央スイッチ３３がオンする。押釦１８０への押圧を解除すれば反転板の弾性復帰力によって中央スイッチ３３はオフし、押釦１８０は元の位置に自動復帰する。また操作つまみ２１０の上面の取付台６０の４か所の押圧部６９の何れかに対応する部分を押圧すれば、ケース１５０や押釦１８０等、取付台６０上に設置されている各構成部品が取付台６０と一体に押圧された方向に傾いて揺動し、下降した側の押圧部６９が対向する押圧スイッチ３５の反転板を押圧してこれを反転し、押圧スイッチ３５がオンする。操作つまみ２１０への押圧を解除すれば、反転している反転板の弾性復帰力によって操作つまみ２１０及び取付台６０等の各構成部品が一体に元の水平位置に自動復帰し、押圧スイッチ３５はオフする。 On the other hand, when the push button portion 181 of the push button 180 is pressed, the press portion 183 presses the reverse plate of the central switch 33 to reverse it, and the central switch 33 is turned on. When the push on the push button 180 is released, the central switch 33 is turned off by the elastic restoring force of the reversing plate, and the push button 180 automatically returns to the original position. Further, if a portion corresponding to any of the four pressing portions 69 of the mounting base 60 on the upper surface of the operation knob 210 is pressed, each component such as the case 150 and the push button 180 installed on the mounting base 60 can be obtained. The pressure switch 69 on the lower side presses the reversal plate of the pressure switch 35 facing and reverses, and the pressure switch 35 is turned on. When the pressure on the operation knob 210 is released, the components such as the operation knob 210 and the mounting base 60 are automatically returned to the original horizontal position by the elastic return force of the inverted reversing plate, and the push switch 35 is Turn off.

以上説明したように、クリック機能付き多機能型電子部品１は、ケース１５０と、ケース１５０の表面側に回転自在に設置される操作つまみ２１０と、ケース１５０の操作つまみ２１０を設置した反対面側に設置されて操作つまみ２１０と一体に回転してクリック感触を生じさせるクリック弾接体１２０と、ケース１５０の操作つまみ２１０を設置した反対面側に設置され操作つまみ２１０と一体に回転して電気的出力を変化させる摺動子板１１０と、操作つまみ２１０の中央に設けた開口２１２内に上下動自在に露出する押釦部１８１を有しこの押釦部１８１を下降させることでその下方に設置した中央スイッチ３３を押圧操作する押釦１８０とを具備して構成されている。 As described above, the multi-function electronic component 1 with a click function includes the case 150, the operation knob 210 that is rotatably installed on the surface side of the case 150, and the opposite surface side on which the operation knob 210 of the case 150 is installed. The click elastic contact body 120 that rotates integrally with the operation knob 210 and generates a click feeling, and is installed on the opposite side of the case 150 where the operation knob 210 is installed, rotates together with the operation knob 210 to be electrically connected. The slider plate 110 for changing the output power and the push button portion 181 exposed in the opening 212 provided in the center of the operation knob 210 so as to be freely movable up and down are installed by lowering the push button portion 181. A push button 180 for pressing the central switch 33 is provided.

さらにこのクリック機能付き多機能型電子部品１においては、ケース１５０の操作つまみ２１０を設置した反対面側（下面側）に回転体９０を配置し、この回転体９０と操作つまみ２１０とを一体に回転するように連結し、さらにこの回転体９０の操作つまみ２１０側の中央に押釦１８０の押釦部１８１を配置し、回転体９０の操作つまみ２１０を設置した反対面側にクリック弾接体１２０と摺動子板１１０を設置し、さらに回転体９０のクリック弾接体１２０と摺動子板１１０を設置した面（取付面９９）の押釦１８０の押釦部１８１の真下に少なくとも一部が対向する位置から突出する固定突起１０１によってクリック弾接体１２０と摺動子板１１０を回転体９０に取り付けている。 Further, in this multi-function electronic component 1 with a click function, a rotating body 90 is disposed on the opposite surface side (lower surface side) of the case 150 where the operation knob 210 is installed, and the rotating body 90 and the operation knob 210 are integrated. Further, the push button portion 181 of the push button 180 is arranged at the center of the rotary body 90 on the operation knob 210 side, and the click ball contact body 120 and the click elastic contact body 120 are arranged on the opposite surface side where the operation knob 210 of the rotary body 90 is installed. The slider plate 110 is installed, and at least a part of the click ball contact body 120 of the rotating body 90 and the push button portion 181 of the push button 180 on the surface (mounting surface 99) on which the slider plate 110 is installed are opposed to each other. The click ball contact body 120 and the slider plate 110 are attached to the rotating body 90 by a fixed protrusion 101 protruding from the position.

以上のように、回転体９０の操作つまみ２１０を取り付けた反対面側にクリック弾接体１２０と摺動子板１１０の両者を取り付けたので、クリック弾接体１２０と摺動子板１１０の両者を回転体９０に同一工程にて取り付けることができ、これによって組立工程の簡素化が図れる。またクリック弾接体１２０と摺動子板１１０を取り付ける回転体９０の固定突起１０１の位置を、押釦１８０の押釦部１８１の真下にかかる位置としたので、押釦部１８１の外径寸法に影響されることなく、固定突起１０１の位置を回転体９０の回転中心に近い位置に設置でき、その分クリック弾接体１２０と摺動子板１１０の外径寸法を小さくでき、クリック機能付き多機能型電子部品１の小型化を図ることができる。 As described above, since both the click ball contact body 120 and the slider plate 110 are attached to the opposite side of the rotating body 90 to which the operation knob 210 is attached, both the click ball contact body 120 and the slider plate 110 are used. Can be attached to the rotating body 90 in the same process, thereby simplifying the assembly process. Further, since the position of the fixed protrusion 101 of the rotating body 90 to which the click ball contact body 120 and the slider plate 110 are attached is set to a position directly below the push button portion 181 of the push button 180, it is influenced by the outer diameter of the push button portion 181. The fixed projection 101 can be installed at a position close to the rotation center of the rotating body 90, and the outer diameter of the click elastic contact body 120 and the slider plate 110 can be reduced correspondingly. The electronic component 1 can be downsized.

またこのクリック機能付き多機能型電子部品１のクリック弾接体１２０は、回転体９０に取り付ける弾接体基部１２１と、弾接体基部１２１の外周から突出するアーム部１２７とを具備して構成されており、アーム部１２７中に設けた弾接部１３３は、回転体９０の外周の外側を越えてケース１５０に設けたクリック係合部１６１に弾接させる構成となっている。 The click ball contact body 120 of the multi-function electronic component 1 with a click function includes a ball contact base 121 attached to the rotating body 90 and an arm 127 that protrudes from the outer periphery of the ball contact base 121. The elastic contact portion 133 provided in the arm portion 127 is configured to elastically contact the click engagement portion 161 provided in the case 150 beyond the outer periphery of the rotating body 90.

以上のようにクリック弾接体１２０は、回転体９０に取り付ける弾接体基部１２１の外周側にアーム部１２７を配置する構成なので、回転体９０に取り付ける弾接体基部１２１の部分を小さく形成しても、その外側のアーム部１２７の長さ寸法や幅寸法や厚み寸法を大きくすることができ、そのバネ性が損なわれず良好なクリック感触が得られるばかりか、その耐久性が向上する。またクリック弾接体１２０の弾接体基部１２１を回転体９０の操作つまみ２１０を取り付けた反対面側に取り付けた上で、クリック弾接体１２０のアーム部１２７中に設けた弾接部１３３を回転体９０の外周の外側を越えてケース１５０に設けたクリック係合部１６１に弾接させるので、弾接部１３３は回転体９０の厚み寸法分を含む十分な上下動が行える。このため弾接部１３３の上下動を大きく取ることができ、この点からも良好なクリック感触が得られる。 As described above, the click ball contact body 120 has a configuration in which the arm portion 127 is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the ball contact base 121 attached to the rotating body 90. Therefore, the portion of the ball contact base 121 attached to the rotating body 90 is formed to be small. However, the length dimension, width dimension, and thickness dimension of the outer arm portion 127 can be increased, the spring property is not impaired, and a good click feeling is obtained, and the durability is improved. In addition, after attaching the elastic contact base portion 121 of the click elastic contact body 120 to the opposite surface side to which the operation knob 210 of the rotating body 90 is attached, the elastic contact portion 133 provided in the arm portion 127 of the click elastic contact body 120 is provided. Since the outer periphery of the rotator 90 is moved beyond the outer periphery of the rotating body 90 and is elastically contacted with the click engagement portion 161 provided on the case 150, the elastic contact portion 133 can sufficiently move up and down including the thickness of the rotating body 90. For this reason, the vertical movement of the elastic contact portion 133 can be greatly increased, and a good click feeling can be obtained from this point.

またこのクリック機能付き多機能型電子部品１のクリック弾接体１２０は、弾接体基部１２１の外周からアーム基部１２５を突出して設け、このアーム基部１２５にアーム部１２７を連結して構成されており、さらにアーム基部１２５には、操作つまみ２１０の押釦１８０の押釦部１８１の外周よりも外側位置から突出する回転体固定突起２１７を係止する係止部１３１を設けている。このように弾接体基部１２１の外周からアーム基部１２５を突出して設け、このアーム基部１２５に、アーム部１２７の連結機能と、操作つまみ２１０の回転体固定突起２１７の係止機能とを持たせたので、アーム部１２７の根元部分を確実に固定でき、弾接部１３３の上下動に伴うアーム部１２７の湾曲動作が安定し、より良好なクリック感触を得ることができる。 The click elastic contact body 120 of the multi-function electronic component 1 with a click function is configured by projecting an arm base 125 from the outer periphery of the elastic contact base 121 and connecting the arm 127 to the arm base 125. Further, the arm base 125 is provided with a locking portion 131 that locks the rotating body fixing projection 217 that protrudes from a position outside the outer periphery of the push button portion 181 of the push button 180 of the operation knob 210. As described above, the arm base 125 is provided so as to protrude from the outer periphery of the elastic contact base 121, and the arm base 125 has a function of connecting the arm 127 and a function of locking the rotating body fixing protrusion 217 of the operation knob 210. Therefore, the base portion of the arm portion 127 can be securely fixed, the bending operation of the arm portion 127 accompanying the vertical movement of the elastic contact portion 133 is stabilized, and a better click feeling can be obtained.

またこのクリック機能付き多機能型電子部品１は、摺動子板１１０を摺接することで変化する電気的出力を取り出す摺接パターン４５を設けた回路基板（第１回路基板部４１）と、ケース１５０を載置する取付台６０と、取付台６０を揺動自在に支持する支持部材（保持板１１と保持カバー２０）と、取付台６０の揺動によって押圧される押圧スイッチ３５とをさらに具備しているので、回転式電子部品と押圧式電子部品の機能を有する電子部品に、さらに揺動式電子部品の機能を一体化した多機能型の電子部品を構成することができる。 The multi-function electronic component 1 with a click function includes a circuit board (first circuit board portion 41) provided with a sliding contact pattern 45 for extracting an electrical output that changes by sliding contact with the slider plate 110, and a case. 150 further includes a mounting base 60 on which 150 is mounted, a support member (holding plate 11 and holding cover 20) that supports the mounting base 60 in a swingable manner, and a pressure switch 35 that is pressed by the swinging of the mounting base 60. Therefore, a multifunctional electronic component in which the function of the swing electronic component is further integrated with the electronic component having the functions of the rotary electronic component and the pressing electronic component can be configured.
