Description

操作装置Operating device
　本発明は、操作装置に関し、特に、操作時に操作感を発生する操作レバーするものである。 The present invention relates to an operating device, and particularly to an operating lever that generates an operational feeling during operation.
　車両の運転席付近に、トランスミッションを切り替える操作装置が設けられる。例えば、特許文献１に開示されている操作装置は、２本の回転軸を中心として２方向に回転するシフトレバーを備える。操作装置は、シフトレバーの位置に応じた電気信号を車両に送ることにより、トランスミッションを切り替える。特許文献１のシフトレバーは、直線状に延びた棒状の形状をもち、筐体の外に位置する一端に固定されたノブを含む。 An operation device for switching the transmission is provided near the driver's seat of the vehicle. For example, the operating device disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a shift lever that rotates in two directions around two rotation axes. The operating device switches the transmission by sending an electric signal corresponding to the position of the shift lever to the vehicle. The shift lever of Patent Document 1 has a rod-like shape extending linearly, and includes a knob fixed to one end located outside the housing.
　また、操作装置は、筐体内にあるシフトレバーの他端に可動に取り付けられたプランジャを備える。プランジャは、シフトレバーの中の弾性部材によってシフトレバーの延びる方向に付勢されて、筐体内に固定された凹凸面に押しつけられている。操作者がノブを握ってシフトレバーを回転させると、プランジャが凹凸面に沿って移動する。プランジャと凹凸面との間の抵抗力により、操作者が操作感を感じる。２つの回転方向のいずれにおいても、共通の連続した凹凸面に１つのプランジャが押しつけられて、操作感が発生する。 Also, the operating device includes a plunger movably attached to the other end of the shift lever in the housing. The plunger is urged by the elastic member in the shift lever in the direction in which the shift lever extends, and is pressed against the uneven surface fixed in the housing. When the operator holds the knob and rotates the shift lever, the plunger moves along the uneven surface. The operator feels the operational feeling due to the resistance force between the plunger and the uneven surface. In either of the two rotation directions, one plunger is pressed against a common continuous uneven surface, and an operational feeling is generated.

　しかしながら、特許文献１のシフトレバーでは、回転軸からプランジャの先端までの距離が短いと抵抗力の変化が発生しにくいので、シフトレバーの延びる方向に沿って回転軸からプランジャの先端まである程度の長さが必要である。また、回転軸からプランジャの先端までの距離が短いと、プランジャの先端の移動距離が短くなり、プランジャの大きさを小さくする必要が生じて強度が弱くなる。そのため、シフトレバーの延びる方向に装置を薄型化することが困難であるという不利益がある。 However, in the shift lever of Patent Document 1, if the distance from the rotating shaft to the tip of the plunger is short, the resistance force hardly changes. Is necessary. Moreover, if the distance from the rotating shaft to the tip of the plunger is short, the moving distance of the tip of the plunger becomes short, and it becomes necessary to reduce the size of the plunger and the strength is weakened. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to reduce the thickness of the device in the extending direction of the shift lever.
　本発明はかかる事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら高い強度で薄型化できる操作装置を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an operating device that can be thinned with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
　本発明は、操作者の操作を受けて第１仮想回転軸と第２仮想回転軸との周りで回転可能な操作部材と、第１凹凸面をもつ第１カムと、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに操作部材と共に回転する第１ガイド部材と、第１ガイド部材に規定された第１経路で移動可能な第１アクチュエータと、第１アクチュエータを第１凹凸面に付勢する第１弾性部材と、第２凹凸面をもつ第２カムと、操作部材が第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに操作部材と共に回転する第２ガイド部材と、第２ガイド部材に規定された第２経路で移動可能な第２アクチュエータと、第２アクチュエータを第２凹凸面に付勢する第２弾性部材と、を備え、操作部材が、第１仮想回転軸と第２仮想回転軸とに略直交する軸方向に延びた操作軸を含み、第１仮想回転軸が、操作部材と共に第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転し、第１経路と第２経路との両方が、軸方向に略直交する方向に延びている、操作装置である。 The present invention provides an operation member that can rotate around a first virtual rotation axis and a second virtual rotation axis in response to an operator's operation, a first cam having a first uneven surface, and the operation member having a first virtual rotation axis. A first guide member that rotates together with the operation member when rotating around the rotation axis, a first actuator that is movable along a first path defined by the first guide member, and a first actuator that is attached to the first uneven surface. A second elastic member, a second cam having a second concavo-convex surface, a second guide member that rotates together with the operation member when the operation member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis, and a second guide member A second actuator that is movable along a prescribed second path; and a second elastic member that urges the second actuator against the second concavo-convex surface, wherein the operation member has a first virtual rotation axis and a second virtual rotation. An operating shaft extending in an axial direction substantially orthogonal to the shaft, Virtual rotational axis, rotates around the second virtual rotation axis together with the operation member, both of the first path and the second path extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction, an operation device.
　この構成によれば、第１アクチュエータの移動する第１経路と第２アクチュエータの移動する第２経路との両方が、軸方向に略直交する方向に延びているので、軸方向に第１アクチュエータと第２アクチュエータとの少なくとも一方が移動する場合に比べて、装置を軸方向に薄型化することができる。また、第１仮想回転軸から第１アクチュエータの先端までの距離を長くして抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら、第１アクチュエータを太くして強度を高くしても、操作装置が軸方向に大きくならない。すなわち、抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら高い強度で薄型化することができる。 According to this configuration, both the first path along which the first actuator moves and the second path along which the second actuator moves extend in a direction substantially orthogonal to the axial direction. The apparatus can be made thinner in the axial direction than when at least one of the second actuators moves. Even if the distance from the first virtual rotation axis to the tip of the first actuator is increased to maintain a large change in the resistance force, the operating device does not move in the axial direction even if the first actuator is thickened and the strength is increased. Does not grow. That is, the thickness can be reduced with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
　好適には本発明の操作装置において、第１仮想回転軸と第２仮想回転軸とが略直交している。 Preferably, in the operating device of the present invention, the first virtual rotation axis and the second virtual rotation axis are substantially orthogonal.
　この構成によれば、直交した２方向に回転する操作装置において、抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら高い強度で薄型化することができる。 According to this configuration, the operating device that rotates in two orthogonal directions can be thinned with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
　好適には本発明の操作装置において、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、１つの回転位置において第１経路が第２仮想回転軸に略平行であり、かつ、１つの回転位置において第１アクチュエータが第２仮想回転軸上に配置される。 Preferably, in the operating device of the present invention, when the operating member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis, the first path is substantially parallel to the second virtual rotation axis at one rotation position, and one The first actuator is disposed on the second virtual rotation axis at the rotational position.
　この構成によれば、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、１つの回転位置において第１経路が、第２仮想回転軸に略平行であり、かつ、その１つの回転位置において第１アクチュエータが、第２仮想回転軸上に配置されるので、その１つの回転位置を保ちながら操作部材が第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第１アクチュエータがその場で回転するだけで、第１アクチュエータと第１カムとの相対位置が大きく変わらない。そのため、操作部材が第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第２アクチュエータにより発生する抵抗力に、第１アクチュエータにより発生する抵抗力が大きく加わらない。従って、操作部材が第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときの抵抗力を制御しやすい。 According to this configuration, when the operation member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis, the first path is substantially parallel to the second virtual rotation axis at one rotation position, and the one rotation position. Since the first actuator is disposed on the second virtual rotation axis in FIG. 2, the first actuator rotates on the spot when the operating member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis while maintaining its one rotation position. Only by doing this, the relative position between the first actuator and the first cam does not change significantly. For this reason, when the operating member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis, the resistance force generated by the first actuator is not greatly added to the resistance force generated by the second actuator. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis.
　好適には本発明の操作装置において、第１アクチュエータが、回転対称な形状であり、第１アクチュエータの対称中心が、１つの回転位置において第２仮想回転軸に略一致する。 Preferably, in the operating device of the present invention, the first actuator has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the center of symmetry of the first actuator substantially coincides with the second virtual rotational axis at one rotational position.
　この構成によれば、第１アクチュエータが、回転対称な形状であり、第１アクチュエータの対称中心が、１つの回転位置において第２仮想回転軸に略一致するので、操作部材が第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第１アクチュエータと第１カムとの相対位置を一定に保つことができる。 According to this configuration, the first actuator has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the symmetry center of the first actuator substantially coincides with the second virtual rotational axis at one rotational position, so that the operation member is the second virtual rotational axis. When rotating around, the relative position between the first actuator and the first cam can be kept constant.
　好適には本発明の操作装置において、第１凹凸面は、局所的に窪んだ第１谷部をもち、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りの第１安定位置に位置しているときに第１アクチュエータが第１谷部にはまる。 Preferably, in the operating device according to the present invention, the first uneven surface has a locally recessed first trough, and the operating member is located at a first stable position around the first virtual rotation axis. The first actuator fits in the first valley.
　この構成によれば、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りの第１安定位置に位置しているときに第１アクチュエータが第１谷部にはまるので、操作部材が第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転するとき、操作部材の第１仮想回転軸の周りにおける意図しない回転を防ぐことができる。 According to this configuration, when the operation member is located at the first stable position around the first virtual rotation axis, the first actuator fits in the first trough, so that the operation member is around the second virtual rotation axis. When rotating at the position, unintended rotation around the first virtual rotation axis of the operating member can be prevented.
　好適には本発明の操作装置において、操作部材を第１仮想回転軸の周りに回転可能に支持する中間支持体と、中間支持体を第２仮想回転軸の周りに回転可能に支持する支持体と、をさらに備え、第１ガイド部材が、操作部材に固定されており、第２ガイド部材が、中間支持体と一体的な部材として構成されている。 Preferably, in the operation device of the present invention, an intermediate support that supports the operation member rotatably around the first virtual rotation axis, and a support that supports the intermediate support rotatably around the second virtual rotation axis. The first guide member is fixed to the operation member, and the second guide member is configured as an integral member with the intermediate support.
　この構成によれば、第２ガイド部材が中間支持体と一体的な部材として構成されているので、別体である場合に比べて部品点数を減らすことができる。 According to this configuration, since the second guide member is configured as an integral member with the intermediate support, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with a case where the second guide member is separate.
　好適には本発明の操作装置において、第１カムが、支持体に固定されている。 Preferably, in the operating device of the present invention, the first cam is fixed to the support.
　この構成によれば、第１カムが支持体に固定されているので、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに第１アクチュエータが通る第１凹凸面上の領域は、第２仮想回転軸の周りでの操作部材の回転位置に応じて異なる。従って、第１カムを中間支持体に固定する場合に比べて、多様な操作感を操作者に与えることができる。 According to this configuration, since the first cam is fixed to the support, the region on the first uneven surface through which the first actuator passes when the operating member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis is the second It differs depending on the rotational position of the operation member around the virtual rotation axis. Therefore, various operational feelings can be given to the operator as compared with the case where the first cam is fixed to the intermediate support.
　好適には本発明の操作装置において、操作部材が第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第２経路が第１仮想回転軸に略平行であり、かつ、第２アクチュエータが第１仮想回転軸上に配置される。 Preferably, in the operating device according to the present invention, when the operating member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis, the second path is substantially parallel to the first virtual rotation axis, and the second actuator is the first virtual rotation axis. Arranged on the rotation axis.
　この構成によれば、操作部材が第２仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第２経路が第１仮想回転軸に略平行であり、かつ、第２アクチュエータが第１仮想回転軸上に配置されるので、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第２アクチュエータがその場で回転するだけで、第２アクチュエータと第２カムとの相対位置が大きく変わらない。そのため、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときに、第１アクチュエータにより発生する抵抗力に、第２アクチュエータにより発生する抵抗力が大きく加わらない。従って、操作部材が第１仮想回転軸の周りで回転するときの抵抗力を制御しやすい。 According to this configuration, when the operation member rotates around the second virtual rotation axis, the second path is substantially parallel to the first virtual rotation axis, and the second actuator is on the first virtual rotation axis. Therefore, when the operating member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis, the relative position between the second actuator and the second cam does not change greatly only by the second actuator rotating on the spot. For this reason, when the operating member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis, the resistance force generated by the second actuator is not significantly added to the resistance force generated by the first actuator. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member rotates around the first virtual rotation axis.

（動作）
　図１から図８は、操作部材１２０をどの方向にも回転させていない初期位置における操作装置１００の図である。初期位置において、操作装置１００は、図８に示す第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りの回転という観点から、初期状態の第１安定位置にある。初期位置において、操作装置１００は、図８に示す第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りの回転という観点から、初期状態の第２安定位置にある。 (Operation)
1 to 8 are views of the operating device 100 in an initial position where the operating member 120 is not rotated in any direction. In the initial position, the controller device 100 is in the first stable position in the initial state from the viewpoint of rotation around the first virtual rotation axis 101 shown in FIG. In the initial position, the controller device 100 is in the second stable position in the initial state from the viewpoint of rotation around the second virtual rotation axis 102 shown in FIG.
　操作装置１００は、図８に示す第１仮想回転軸１０１を中心として、図６に示す第１回転方向１８１と第２回転方向１８２とに回転させることができる。第１回転方向１８１は、操作部材１２０のｚ１側端部がｘ１方向に動く方向である。第２回転方向１８２は、操作部材１２０のｚ１側端部がｘ２方向に動く方向である。さらに、操作装置１００は、図８に示す第２仮想回転軸１０２を中心として、図７に示す第３回転方向１８３と第４回転方向１８４とに回転させることができる。第３回転方向１８３は、操作部材１２０のｚ１側端部がｙ１方向に動く方向である。第４回転方向１８４は、操作部材１２０のｚ１側端部がｙ２方向に動く方向である。 The operating device 100 can be rotated around the first virtual rotation axis 101 shown in FIG. 8 in the first rotation direction 181 and the second rotation direction 182 shown in FIG. The first rotation direction 181 is a direction in which the z1 side end portion of the operation member 120 moves in the x1 direction. The second rotation direction 182 is a direction in which the z1 side end portion of the operation member 120 moves in the x2 direction. Further, the controller device 100 can be rotated about the second virtual rotation shaft 102 shown in FIG. 8 in the third rotation direction 183 and the fourth rotation direction 184 shown in FIG.

　図６に示す第１安定位置において、第１アクチュエータ１６０の移動可能な第１経路は、第２仮想回転軸１０２に略平行であり、第１アクチュエータ１６０の回転対称の中心は第２仮想回転軸１０２に略一致している。操作部材１２０が図６に示す第１安定位置に位置しているとき、第１アクチュエータ１６０の第１ヘッド１６３のｘ１側端部が第１谷部１３３にはまる。そのため、操作部材１２０は、ある程度の力を受けないと第１仮想回転軸１０１（図８）の周りで回転しない。 In the first stable position shown in FIG. 6, the movable first path of the first actuator 160 is substantially parallel to the second virtual rotation axis 102, and the rotationally symmetric center of the first actuator 160 is the second virtual rotation axis. 102 substantially matches. When the operation member 120 is located at the first stable position shown in FIG. 6, the x1 side end portion of the first head 163 of the first actuator 160 fits into the first valley portion 133. Therefore, the operation member 120 does not rotate around the first virtual rotation axis 101 (FIG. 8) unless receiving a certain amount of force.
　図７に示すように、第２アクチュエータ１７０の移動可能な第２経路は、回転位置にかかわらず第１仮想回転軸１０１に略平行であり、第２アクチュエータ１７０の回転対称の中心は回転位置にかかわらず第１仮想回転軸１０１に略一致している。図７に示す第２安定位置において、第１仮想回転軸１０１は、ｙ方向に略平行である。操作部材１２０が図７に示す第２安定位置に位置しているとき、第２アクチュエータ１７０の第２ヘッド１７３のｙ１側端部が第２谷部１３８にはまる。そのため、操作部材１２０は、ある程度の力を受けないと第２仮想回転軸１０２（図８）の周りで回転しない。 As shown in FIG. 7, the movable second path of the second actuator 170 is substantially parallel to the first virtual rotation axis 101 regardless of the rotational position, and the center of rotational symmetry of the second actuator 170 is the rotational position. Regardless, it substantially coincides with the first virtual rotation axis 101. In the second stable position shown in FIG. 7, the first virtual rotation axis 101 is substantially parallel to the y direction. When the operation member 120 is located at the second stable position shown in FIG. 7, the y1 side end portion of the second head 173 of the second actuator 170 fits into the second valley portion 138. Therefore, the operation member 120 does not rotate around the second virtual rotation shaft 102 (FIG. 8) unless receiving a certain amount of force.

　図９に示すように、操作部材１２０を第１回転方向１８１（図６）に回転させるとき、図７に示すように、第２アクチュエータ１７０は、第２谷部１３８内にはまったまま維持される。そのため、図９に示すように、中間支持体１４０は、支持体１１０に対して回転しない。図１０に示すように、第１アクチュエータ１６０が第１凹凸面１３２に沿って移動するときに発生する抵抗力が、操作者に操作感として伝わる。図１０に示す第１回転位置にあるとき、第１ガイド部材１５０に沿った第１アクチュエータ１６０の第１経路は、第２仮想回転軸１０２に対して傾く。 As shown in FIG. 9, when the operation member 120 is rotated in the first rotation direction 181 (FIG. 6), the second actuator 170 is maintained in the second valley 138 as shown in FIG. 7. The Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the intermediate support 140 does not rotate with respect to the support 110. As shown in FIG. 10, the resistance generated when the first actuator 160 moves along the first uneven surface 132 is transmitted to the operator as an operational feeling.

　図１１に示すように、操作部材１２０を第３回転方向１８３（図７）に回転させるとき、図６に示すように、第１アクチュエータ１６０が第１谷部１３３内にはまったまま維持される。そのため、図１１に示すように、操作部材１２０は、中間支持体１４０に対して回転しない。図１２に示すように、第２アクチュエータ１７０が第２凹凸面１３７に沿って移動するときに発生する抵抗力が、操作者に操作感として伝わる。図１２に示す第２回転位置にあるとき、第２ガイド部材１５５に沿った第２アクチュエータ１７０の第２経路は、第１仮想回転軸１０１に平行である。 As shown in FIG. 11, when the operation member 120 is rotated in the third rotation direction 183 (FIG. 7), the first actuator 160 is maintained in the first valley 133 as shown in FIG. 6. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the operation member 120 does not rotate with respect to the intermediate support 140. As shown in FIG. 12, the resistance force generated when the second actuator 170 moves along the second uneven surface 137 is transmitted to the operator as an operational feeling. When in the second rotation position shown in FIG. 12, the second path of the second actuator 170 along the second guide member 155 is parallel to the first virtual rotation axis 101.
　図７に示す操作部材１２０が第４回転方向１８４に回転するときの動作は、第３回転方向１８３に回転するときの動作と対称的であるので説明を省略する。 Since the operation when the operation member 120 shown in FIG. 7 rotates in the fourth rotation direction 184 is symmetrical with the operation when the operation member 120 rotates in the third rotation direction 183, the description thereof is omitted.
（まとめ）
　本実施形態によれば、第１アクチュエータ１６０の移動する第１経路と第２アクチュエータ１７０の移動する第２経路との両方が、軸方向に略直交する方向に延びているので、軸方向に第１アクチュエータ１６０と第２アクチュエータ１７０との少なくとも一方が移動する場合に比べて、装置を軸方向に薄型化することができる。また、第１仮想回転軸１０１から第１アクチュエータ１６０の先端までの距離を長くして抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら、第１アクチュエータ１６０を太くして強度を高くしても、操作装置１００が軸方向に大きくならない。すなわち、抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら高い強度で薄型化することができる。 (Summary)
According to the present embodiment, both the first path along which the first actuator 160 moves and the second path along which the second actuator 170 moves extend in a direction substantially perpendicular to the axial direction. Compared to the case where at least one of the first actuator 160 and the second actuator 170 moves, the apparatus can be made thinner in the axial direction. Even if the first actuator 160 is thickened and the strength is increased while the distance from the first virtual rotating shaft 101 to the tip of the first actuator 160 is increased to maintain a large change in the resistance force, the operating device 100 is increased. Does not increase in the axial direction. That is, the thickness can be reduced with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
　本実施形態によれば、直交した２方向に回転する操作装置１００において、抵抗力の変化を大きく維持しながら高い強度で薄型化することができる。 According to the present embodiment, the operating device 100 that rotates in two orthogonal directions can be thinned with high strength while maintaining a large change in resistance.
　本実施形態によれば、操作部材１２０が第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りで回転するときに、１つの回転位置において第１経路が、第２仮想回転軸１０２に略平行であり、かつ、その１つの回転位置において第１アクチュエータ１６０が、第２仮想回転軸１０２上に配置されるので、その１つの回転位置を保ちながら操作部材１２０が第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りで回転するときに、第１アクチュエータ１６０がその場で回転するだけで、第１アクチュエータ１６０と第１カム１３０との相対位置が大きく変わらない。そのため、操作部材１２０が第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りで回転するときに、第２アクチュエータ１７０により発生する抵抗力に、第１アクチュエータ１６０により発生する抵抗力が大きく加わらない。従って、操作部材１２０が第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りで回転するときの抵抗力を制御しやすい。 According to the present embodiment, when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotation axis 101, the first path is substantially parallel to the second virtual rotation axis 102 at one rotation position, and Since the first actuator 160 is disposed on the second virtual rotation shaft 102 at one rotation position, when the operation member 120 rotates around the second virtual rotation shaft 102 while maintaining the one rotation position, The relative position between the first actuator 160 and the first cam 130 does not change greatly only by the first actuator 160 rotating on the spot. Therefore, the resistance force generated by the first actuator 160 is not greatly added to the resistance force generated by the second actuator 170 when the operation member 120 rotates around the second virtual rotation axis 102. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member 120 rotates around the second virtual rotation axis 102.
　本実施形態によれば、第１アクチュエータ１６０が、回転対称な形状であり、第１アクチュエータ１６０の対称中心が、１つの回転位置において第２仮想回転軸１０２に略一致するので、操作部材１２０が第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りで回転するときに、第１アクチュエータ１６０と第１カム１３０との相対位置を一定に保つことができる。 According to the present embodiment, the first actuator 160 has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the center of symmetry of the first actuator 160 substantially coincides with the second virtual rotation axis 102 at one rotational position. When rotating around the second virtual rotation axis 102, the relative position between the first actuator 160 and the first cam 130 can be kept constant.
　本実施形態によれば、操作部材１２０が第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りの第１安定位置に位置しているときに第１アクチュエータ１６０が第１谷部１３３にはまるので、操作部材１２０が第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りで回転するとき、操作部材１２０の第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りにおける意図しない回転を防ぐことができる。 According to the present embodiment, when the operation member 120 is located at the first stable position around the first virtual rotation axis 101, the first actuator 160 is fitted into the first valley portion 133, so that the operation member 120 is When rotating around the two virtual rotation axes 102, unintentional rotation of the operation member 120 around the first virtual rotation axis 101 can be prevented.
　本実施形態によれば、第２ガイド部材１５５が中間支持体１４０と一体的な部材として構成されているので、別体である場合に比べて部品点数を減らすことができる。 According to the present embodiment, since the second guide member 155 is configured as an integral member with the intermediate support 140, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with a case where the second guide member 155 is a separate member.
　本実施形態によれば、第１カム１３０が支持体１１０に固定されているので、操作部材１２０が第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りで回転するときに第１アクチュエータ１６０が通る第１凹凸面１３２上の領域は、第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りでの操作部材１２０の回転位置に応じて異なる。従って、第１カム１３０を中間支持体１４０に固定する場合に比べて、多様な操作感を操作者に与えることができる。 According to the present embodiment, since the first cam 130 is fixed to the support 110, the first uneven surface 132 through which the first actuator 160 passes when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotation axis 101. The upper region differs depending on the rotation position of the operation member 120 around the second virtual rotation axis 102. Therefore, compared to the case where the first cam 130 is fixed to the intermediate support 140, various operational feelings can be given to the operator.
　変形例において、第２ガイド部材１５５は、中間支持体１４０に固定されず、操作部材１２０に固定されてもよい。 In a modification, the second guide member 155 may be fixed to the operation member 120 without being fixed to the intermediate support 140.
　変形例によれば、操作部材１２０が第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りで回転するときに、第２経路が第１仮想回転軸１０１に略平行であり、かつ、第２アクチュエータ１７０が第１仮想回転軸１０１上に配置されるので、操作部材１２０が第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りで回転するときに、第２アクチュエータ１７０がその場で回転するだけで、第２アクチュエータ１７０と第２カム１３５との相対位置が大きく変わらない。そのため、操作部材１２０が第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りで回転するときに、第１アクチュエータ１６０により発生する抵抗力に、第２アクチュエータ１７０により発生する抵抗力が大きく加わらない。従って、操作部材１２０が第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りで回転するときの抵抗力を制御しやすい。 According to the modification, when the operation member 120 rotates around the second virtual rotation axis 102, the second path is substantially parallel to the first virtual rotation axis 101 and the second actuator 170 is the first virtual rotation axis. Since it is disposed on the rotating shaft 101, when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotating shaft 101, the second actuator 170 and the second cam 135 only rotate on the spot. The relative position of and does not change significantly. Therefore, the resistance force generated by the second actuator 170 is not significantly added to the resistance force generated by the first actuator 160 when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotation axis 101. Therefore, it is easy to control the resistance force when the operation member 120 rotates around the first virtual rotation axis 101.
　変形例によれば、第２アクチュエータ１７０が、回転対称な形状であり、第２アクチュエータ１７０の対称中心が、第１仮想回転軸１０１に略一致するので、操作部材１２０が第１仮想回転軸１０１の周りで回転するときに、第２アクチュエータ１７０と第２カム１３５との相対位置を一定に保つことができる。 According to the modified example, the second actuator 170 has a rotationally symmetric shape, and the center of symmetry of the second actuator 170 substantially coincides with the first virtual rotation axis 101, so that the operation member 120 is the first virtual rotation axis 101. , The relative position of the second actuator 170 and the second cam 135 can be kept constant.
　なお、第１カム１３０は中間支持体１４０に固定してもよい。この場合、上述とは逆に、第１アクチュエータ１６０が通る第１凹凸面１３２上の領域が、第２仮想回転軸１０２の周りでの操作部材１２０の回転位置によらず一定になるため、操作者に一定の操作感を与えることができる。また、第１アクチュエータ１６０が通る第１凹凸面１３２上の領域が限定されるため、第１カム１３０のサイズを小型にすることができる。 Note that the first cam 130 may be fixed to the intermediate support 140. In this case, contrary to the above, the region on the first uneven surface 132 through which the first actuator 160 passes is constant regardless of the rotation position of the operation member 120 around the second virtual rotation axis 102. A certain operational feeling can be given to the person. In addition, since the region on the first uneven surface 132 through which the first actuator 160 passes is limited, the size of the first cam 130 can be reduced.
