That is, the rocking body 170 and the rocking knob 280 are separated, and the rotating body 130 and the rotating knob 300 are separated, and then the rocking body 170 and the rotating body 130 are respectively separated from the upper surface side of the rocking knob 280 and the rotating knob 300. Since the structure is attached by snap-in engagement or press-fitting, the multifunctional electronic component 1 can be easily downsized while keeping the size of the swing knob 280 and the rotary knob 300 large. Specifically, in the above embodiment, if the swinging body 170 and the swinging knob 280 are formed as an integral molded product, the hinge member 210 to which the integrated swinging body 170 and the swinging knob 280 are attached is used as the lower case. 10, because of the downsized hinge member 210, the position of the locking portion 23 on the side wall 15 attached to the hinge member 210 is hidden on the lower surface side of the swing knob 280. The locking part 23 cannot be caulked with heat. In this embodiment, since the swing knob 280 is a separate member from the swing body 170, the above attachment can be performed easily. Further, since the upper case 260 is interposed between the rotary body 130 and the rotary knob 300, it is difficult to integrally form the rotary body 130 and the rotary knob 300. In the present embodiment, since the rotating body 130 and the rotary knob 300 are separate components, both can be easily installed on the upper and lower sides of the upper case 260. At that time, since the rotary knob 300 is only installed on the rotary body 130, the outer diameter thereof can be increased freely. The snap-in engagement refers to the snap engagement portion provided in the other member while the elastic portion having the claw portion provided in the one member is bent when the one member and the other member approach each other. When the claw portion approaches the snap engagement portion, the elastic portion is released from the flexure (or partially released), and thereby the two members cannot be pulled apart.

またこの多機能型電子部品１は、フレキシブル回路基板４０のスイッチ５１の周囲に側壁１５を立設すると共に、この側壁１５にヒンジ部材２１０を介して揺動体１７０を取り付け、この揺動体１７０の上面側に揺動つまみ２８０を前記スナップイン係合によって取り付けて構成されている。これによって、フレキシブル回路基板４０上への揺動体１７０の設置及び揺動体１７０への揺動つまみ２８０の取り付けが、容易且つ確実に行なえる。 The multifunctional electronic component 1 has a side wall 15 standing around the switch 51 of the flexible circuit board 40, and a swinging body 170 is attached to the side wall 15 via a hinge member 210. A swing knob 280 is attached to the side by the snap-in engagement. As a result, installation of the rocking body 170 on the flexible circuit board 40 and attachment of the rocking knob 280 to the rocking body 170 can be performed easily and reliably.

またこの多機能型電子部品１は、中央に開口２６７を有する上ケース２６０を回転体１３０の上部に設置し、上ケース２６０の上面側に回転つまみ３００を設置すると共に、この回転つまみ３００を上ケース２６０の下面側の回転体１３０に前記圧入によって取り付けて構成されている。これによって回転体１３０上への上ケース２６０の設置、及び回転体１３０への上ケース２６０を介した回転つまみ３００の取り付けが容易且つ確実に行なえる。 In the multi-function electronic component 1, an upper case 260 having an opening 267 in the center is installed on the upper part of the rotating body 130, and a rotary knob 300 is installed on the upper surface side of the upper case 260. The case 260 is configured to be attached to the rotating body 130 on the lower surface side by press-fitting. Thereby, the installation of the upper case 260 on the rotating body 130 and the attachment of the rotary knob 300 to the rotating body 130 via the upper case 260 can be easily and reliably performed.

またこの多機能型電子部品１は、回転つまみ３００にこの回転つまみ３００を上ケース２６０の上面側に設置した際に上ケース２６０下面の開口２６７の周囲に係合する抜け防止用の係合部３１５を設けて構成されている。これによって回転つまみ３００の抜け防止を容易且つ確実に行うことができる。 In addition, the multifunctional electronic component 1 includes an engaging portion for preventing slipping that engages the periphery of the opening 267 on the lower surface of the upper case 260 when the rotating knob 300 is installed on the upper surface of the upper case 260. 315 is provided. Accordingly, it is possible to easily and reliably prevent the rotary knob 300 from coming off.

またこの多機能型電子部品１において、各スイッチ５１上にはそれぞれ揺動体１７０の押圧部１７７と押釦つまみ１９０の押圧部１９５とが位置しており、一方クリック部材２４０はその取付部２４１が下ケース１０の外壁１３と上ケース２６０とに挟持されて固定され且つその弾接部２４５が回転体１３０のクリック係合部１３３の面に弾接しており、各摺動子６０，６１，６３の摺接部６０ｂ，６０ｃ，６１ｂ，６３ｂはスイッチパターン形成体１１０の摺接パターン１１２を設けた面に弾接している。 Further, in the multi-function electronic component 1, the pressing portion 177 of the swinging body 170 and the pressing portion 195 of the push button knob 190 are positioned on each switch 51, while the mounting portion 241 of the click member 240 is positioned below. The outer wall 13 of the case 10 and the upper case 260 are clamped and fixed, and the elastic contact portion 245 is elastically in contact with the surface of the click engagement portion 133 of the rotating body 130, and each of the sliders 60, 61, 63 is The sliding contact portions 60b, 60c, 61b, and 63b are in elastic contact with the surface of the switch pattern forming body 110 on which the sliding contact pattern 112 is provided.

そして揺動つまみ２８０の上面の所定部分（特に記号部２８７の部分）を押圧すると、ヒンジ部材２１０のヒンジ部２１５がたわむことで、揺動つまみ２８０及びこれに一体に取り付けた揺動体１７０が揺動し、押圧して下降した位置にある押圧部１７７がこれに対向するスイッチ５１を押圧してオンする。前記押圧を解除すると、ヒンジ部２１５及びスイッチ５１を構成する反転板の弾性復帰力によって揺動つまみ２８０は元の位置に戻り、反転板の反転も解除されてスイッチ５１はオフする。 When a predetermined portion (especially the portion of the symbol portion 287) on the upper surface of the swing knob 280 is pressed, the hinge portion 215 of the hinge member 210 bends, so that the swing knob 280 and the swing body 170 attached integrally thereto swing. The pressing portion 177 that is moved and pressed and moved down presses the switch 51 that faces the pressing portion 177 to turn it on. When the pressing is released, the swing knob 280 is returned to the original position by the elastic restoring force of the hinge plate 215 and the reverse plate constituting the switch 51, the reverse of the reverse plate is also released, and the switch 51 is turned off.

次に押釦つまみ１９０のつまみ本体１９１を押圧すると、ヒンジ部材２１０のヒンジ部２１５がたわむことで押釦つまみ１９０が下降し、下降した押圧部１９５がこれに対向するスイッチ５１を押圧してオンする。前記押圧を解除すると、ヒンジ部２１５及びスイッチ５１を構成する反転板の弾性復帰力によって押釦つまみ１９０は元の位置に戻り、反転板の反転も解除されてスイッチ５１はオフする。 Next, when the knob main body 191 of the push button knob 190 is pressed, the push button knob 190 is lowered by the deflection of the hinge portion 215 of the hinge member 210, and the lowered pressing portion 195 presses the switch 51 opposite to the switch 51 to turn it on. When the pressing is released, the push button knob 190 is returned to the original position by the elastic return force of the hinge 215 and the reversing plate constituting the switch 51, the reversing of the reversing plate is also released, and the switch 51 is turned off.

一方回転つまみ３００を回転すると、回転つまみ３００と一体に回転体１３０及びスイッチパターン形成体１１０が回転し、スイッチパターン形成体１１０に設けた摺接パターン１１２が下ケース１０に固定した摺動子６０，６１，６３の摺接部６０ｂ，６０ｃ，６１ｂ，６３ｂ上を摺動する。このとき同時にクリック部材２４０の弾接部２４５が回転体１３０のクリック係合部１３３に弾接しながら摺動することで、所望のクリック感覚が生じる。摺動子６０はその一対の接点部６０ｂ，６０ｃの少なくとも何れか一方が常に摺接パターン１１２の何れかに接触しているコモンの摺動子である。また摺動子６１と摺動子６３はそれらの摺接部６１ｂ，６３ｂが位相差をもって（接触位置に一定のずれを有して）何れかの摺接パターン１１２に接触するものである。図７は摺動子６０，６１，６３と摺接パターン１１２とのオンオフ状態を示す図である。同図に示すように摺動子６０はコモンであって常にオン状態にあり、また摺動子６１と摺動子６３は一定の位相差をもって繰返しオンオフされるものである。この電気的機能部は、ロータリーエンコーダとして利用される。この実施形態のように１つのトラック上に全ての摺動子６０，６１，６３を設置すれば、トラックを複数とした場合に比べてその設置面積を小さくでき、小型化に有効である。この実施形態では回転側の部材である回転体１３０に摺接パターン１１２、固定側の部材である下ケース１０に摺動子６０，６１，６３を取り付けたが、逆に回転体１３０に摺動子、下ケース１０に摺接パターンを設けても良い。 On the other hand, when the rotary knob 300 is rotated, the rotary body 130 and the switch pattern forming body 110 rotate integrally with the rotary knob 300, and the slider 60 in which the sliding contact pattern 112 provided on the switch pattern forming body 110 is fixed to the lower case 10. , 61, 63 slide on the sliding contact portions 60b, 60c, 61b, 63b. At this time, the elastic contact portion 245 of the click member 240 slides while elastically contacting the click engagement portion 133 of the rotating body 130, so that a desired click feeling is generated. The slider 60 is a common slider in which at least one of the pair of contact portions 60 b and 60 c is always in contact with any one of the sliding contact patterns 112. Further, the sliding element 61 and the sliding element 63 are such that their sliding contact portions 61b and 63b are in contact with any sliding contact pattern 112 with a phase difference (with a certain deviation in the contact position). FIG. 7 is a view showing an on / off state of the sliders 60, 61, 63 and the sliding contact pattern 112. As shown in the figure, the slider 60 is common and is always on, and the slider 61 and the slider 63 are repeatedly turned on and off with a certain phase difference. This electrical function unit is used as a rotary encoder. If all the sliders 60, 61, 63 are installed on one track as in this embodiment, the installation area can be reduced as compared with the case where a plurality of tracks are provided, which is effective for miniaturization. In this embodiment, the sliding contact pattern 112 is attached to the rotating body 130 that is the rotating member, and the sliders 60, 61, and 63 are attached to the lower case 10 that is the fixed member. The child and lower case 10 may be provided with a sliding contact pattern.

なお多機能型電子部品１の金属製の上ケース２６０及びアース部材７０はアースされる（アース部材７０は下ケース１０の下面に露出するアース部８１先端がアースされる）。従って回転つまみ３００の外周と上ケース２６０の間から侵入しようとする静電気は上ケース２６０に取り込まれ、また揺動つまみ２８０と回転つまみ３００の隙間及び揺動つまみ２８０と押釦つまみ１９０の隙間から侵入しようとする静電気はアース部材７０に取り込まれる。従って押釦つまみ１９０，揺動つまみ２８０，回転つまみ３００を帯電した指等によって操作した場合でも、静電気がスイッチ５１や導電パターン５５ａ，ｂ，ｃ等の電気回路部分に侵入することはない。 The metallic upper case 260 and the ground member 70 of the multifunctional electronic component 1 are grounded (the ground member 70 is grounded at the tip of the ground portion 81 exposed on the lower surface of the lower case 10). Accordingly, static electricity that enters from between the outer periphery of the rotary knob 300 and the upper case 260 is taken into the upper case 260 and enters from the gap between the swing knob 280 and the rotary knob 300 and the gap between the swing knob 280 and the push button knob 190. The static electricity to be taken in is taken into the ground member 70. Therefore, even when the push button knob 190, the swing knob 280, and the rotary knob 300 are operated with a charged finger or the like, static electricity does not enter the electric circuit portions such as the switch 51 and the conductive patterns 55a, 55b, and 55c.

In that case, the circuit board may also be used as the lower case 10. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the switch pattern was used as the sliding pattern of an electrical function part, you may use other various sliding patterns, such as a resistor pattern. In short, the electrical function unit may be a structure that changes its electrical output by rotating the rotating body 130.
