By the way, the two left and right switch portions 15 provided on the rubber sheet 8 are arranged in parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 16 of the hinge bar 7, and the hinge bar with which the operation portion 7 c comes into contact with these switch portions 15. 7 is urged counterclockwise in FIG. 2 about the rotation shaft 16 by the urging force of the switch portion 15, and the pressed portion 7 b comes into contact with the end surface of the pressing portion 5 C of the operating knob 5 to push the operating knob 5. It is energizing forward.
図2及び図3はスイッチ装置1の非操作状態を示すが、この状態では操作ノブ5は、これに形成された係合孔5aにホルダ2側の係合爪2aが係合することによって図示位置に保持されており、ヒンジバー7は略垂直状態に起立している。そして、この状態ではスイッチ部15はヒンジバー7の操作部7cによって押圧されておらず、これらのスイッチ部15の可動接点はプリント基板9側の固定接点14に接触していないために両者は非導通状態にあり、各スイッチ部15はOFF状態にある。
2 and 3 show the non-operating state of the switch device 1. In this state, the operating knob 5 is illustrated by engaging the engaging claw 2a on the holder 2 side with the engaging hole 5a formed therein. The hinge bar 7 is held in a substantially vertical state. In this state, the switch portion 15 is not pressed by the operation portion 7c of the hinge bar 7, and the movable contact of these switch portions 15 is not in contact with the fixed contact 14 on the printed circuit board 9 side. Each switch unit 15 is in an OFF state.
而して、エンジンスタート・ストップスイッチである本実施の形態に係るスイッチ装置1において、運転者が操作ノブ5の操作部5Bを操作して該操作ノブ5を押し込むと、該操作ノブ5の押圧部5Cがヒンジバー7の幅方向中央上部に突設された被押圧部7bを押圧するため、ヒンジバー7は回転軸16を中心として図2の時計方向に回動する。このようにヒンジバー7が回転軸16を中心として回動すると、該ヒンジバー7に設けられた左右2つの操作部7cがこれらに当接する左右2つのスイッチ部15をその付勢力に抗して同時に押し込むため、各スイッチ部15の可動接点がプリント基板9側の固定接点14に接触して両者が導通し、2つのスイッチ部15が同時にONされる。尚、夜間等においては、プリント基板9に実装されたLED13が駆動されると、該LED13から出射される照明光はヒンジバー7の開口部7aとホルダ2の保持筒2Aの内部及びアンテナホルダ6の貫通部6bを通過して操作ノブ5方向に向かい、操作ノブ5の操作部5Bに設けられた不図示の透光性の照明部を照明する。
Thus, in the switch device 1 according to the present embodiment which is an engine start / stop switch, when the driver operates the operation portion 5B of the operation knob 5 and pushes in the operation knob 5, the operation knob 5 is pressed. Since the portion 5C presses the pressed portion 7b that protrudes from the center of the hinge bar 7 in the width direction, the hinge bar 7 rotates in the clockwise direction in FIG. When the hinge bar 7 rotates about the rotation shaft 16 in this way, the two left and right operation portions 7c provided on the hinge bar 7 simultaneously push in the two left and right switch portions 15 against the urging force. For this reason, the movable contact of each switch unit 15 comes into contact with the fixed contact 14 on the printed circuit board 9 side, and the two switch units 15 are turned on simultaneously. At night, when the LED 13 mounted on the printed circuit board 9 is driven, the illumination light emitted from the LED 13 is transmitted through the opening 7a of the hinge bar 7, the inside of the holding cylinder 2A of the holder 2, and the antenna holder 6. It passes through the penetrating part 6b and faces the operation knob 5, and illuminates a light-transmitting illumination part (not shown) provided in the operation part 5B of the operation knob 5.
上述のように2つのスイッチ部15が同時にONされると、車両の認証装置は、エンジンが停止している場合には、コイルアンテナ10より起動電波を発信する。すると、運転者が所持する携帯機に設けられたトランスポンダ内のコイル部によって起電力が発生し、その電力によって車両の認証装置に向けてID信号が送信される。
When the two switch sections 15 are simultaneously turned on as described above, the vehicle authentication device transmits a starting radio wave from the coil antenna 10 when the engine is stopped. Then, an electromotive force is generated by a coil portion in a transponder provided in a portable device possessed by the driver, and an ID signal is transmitted to the authentication device of the vehicle by the power.
次に、車両の認証装置は、コイルアンテナ10から受信したID信号に含まれるIDコードと予め記憶されているIDコードとを照合し、両者が一致する場合には認証OKとし、エンジンを始動可能状態としてエンジンを始動させる。又、エンジンが始動している場合には、スイッチ装置1の2つのスイッチ部15が同時にONされるとエンジンを停止させる。
Next, the vehicle authentication device collates the ID code included in the ID signal received from the coil antenna 10 with the ID code stored in advance, and if both match, the authentication is OK and the engine can be started. Start the engine as a condition. When the engine is started, the engine is stopped when the two switch portions 15 of the switch device 1 are simultaneously turned on.
その後、運転者がスイッチ装置1の操作ノブ5から手を離すと、スイッチ部15の弾性復元力によってヒンジバー7が回転軸16を中心として図2の反時計方向に回動し、該ヒンジバー7と操作ノブ5が図2及び図3に示す非操作状態に復帰する。
Thereafter, when the driver releases his / her hand from the operation knob 5 of the switch device 1, the hinge bar 7 rotates about the rotation shaft 16 in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. The operation knob 5 returns to the non-operation state shown in FIGS.
以上において、本実施の形態に係るスイッチ装置1によれば、アンテナホルダ6とこれに保持されるコイルアンテナ10を操作ノブ5の内側に配置したため、図6に示す従来のスイッチ装置101のようにコイルアンテナ110を操作ノブ105の外周縁に沿って配置する構成に比べてスイッチ装置1を小型化することができる。又、コイルアンテナ10は操作ノブ5によって覆われて外部からは見えないため、スイッチ装置1の外観性が高められる。
