Description

The control switch device

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of control switch device, its can be under " enabling " or " forbidding " state the operation of setting control switch, and relate to a kind of brake change over switch, its can switch in occur in the operation part of control switch hit sense of touch (click feeling).

Background technology

Up to now, vehicle mounting has the various control switch, and they are operated when the startup of the multiple vehicle mounting apparatus such as air conditioner, audio frequency apparatus and auto-navigation system.What be used as such control switch usually is rotary switch, it can select and specify multiple operating function by the rotation as the scale handle of element to be operated, for example vehicle mounting apparatus the selection of opening power switched between the position of (ON) position and pass (OFF), functional item and with the relevant operation of amount of operation control.The example of this rotary switch has been described in JP-A-2004-220957.The rotary switch that is used in the air conditioner comprises: for example, be used to set jet temperature temperature setting switch, be used to the wind direction configuration switch setting the air rate configuration switch of air output and be used to set the direction of wind.

In addition, in many cases, the rotary switch of air conditioner is the switch with rotary manipulation of limited range, and wherein the operation in predetermined Spin Control scope of scale handle is set and the selection function setting to carry out temperature.Therefore, such rotary switch has the rotation shut-down mechanism that is used for the rotary manipulation of scale handle is limited in the pre-position.Use according to these, have the rotary manipulation scope and be the rotary switch that 120 ° rotary switch, rotary switch that the rotary manipulation scope is 180 ° and rotary manipulation scope are 270 °.A kind of example rotation shut-down mechanism has: the scale handle, be used for rotatably supporting described scale handle housing, be arranged on handle or the housing the bonding part and with bonding part (" engaged the part ") engaging portion that is arranged on the residue element.When described bonding part contacted the bonding part in the process of scale handle rotation, being further rotated of scale handle was limited, thereby has limited the scope of rotary manipulation.

Yet the rotation shut-down mechanism of describing by background technology has following structure, and wherein said bonding part is arranged on one of them of scale handle or housing, and described engaged parts are arranged on the remaining element.Thus, scale handle and housing all must be processed to realize the rotation shut-down mechanism.When making rotary switch, scale handle and housing all require the course of processing, and therefore propose following demand: the shape product different with the homologue of their routine that promptly prepares its scale handle and housing.For this reason, there is following demand: promptly, intactly use the parts that use up to now by reducing the desired number that is used to process the course of processing of rotating shut-down mechanism as far as possible.

On the other hand, for the operation feeling that strengthens the scale handle and make that the operation of scale handle is reliable, such rotary switch is provided with stopper mechanism, and described stopper mechanism gives the required operating physical force of scale handle or contiguous sense as hitting sense of touch.In common stopper mechanism, a plurality of brakes top is arranged on along the direction of rotation of handle and treats by on the scale handle of operator's rotary manipulation or rotatably support on the housing of scale handle.Always drive the brake piece at brake top and be arranged on in scale handle and the housing remaining one by driving spring.The operating physical force that occurs when the piece of brake as a result of operating the scale handle as the operator is rotatably crossed the brake top gives the operator and hits sense of touch.

By way of parenthesis, for the quantity of the parts that reduce control switch, attempt a shared rotary switch between a plurality of selection functions recently.Under the situation of the sharing structure of such control switch, when determining that at switch the switch deterministic model enters function selecting setting pattern in the initial condition, and when the scale handle is operated at this moment, select by the switching signal that obtains from rotary switch and specify this moment operator that the vehicle mounting apparatus of its function need be set as the on-off controller of the control unit of input operation system.After selection and designated vehicle erection unit, on-off controller switches to details with the switch deterministic model and sets pattern.When operation scale handle, the details of the vehicle mounting apparatus of selection this moment and design is set to and the corresponding to state of switching manipulation by using obtain switching signal from rotary switch this moment.

Under the situation of the sharing structure of control switch, the sense of touch of hitting that causes by stopper mechanism in the rotary switch changes according to the function of selecting with meeting the requirements.Patent document 1 has been described for example a kind of brake switch technology, and it will hit the sharing structure of sense of touch by such control switch and switch to another kind of selection function from a kind of selection function.The technology of describing in the patent document 1 is used for: vertically locate a plurality of disks, leave with different pitch interval at the brake top of these disks; By the vertical mobile brake piece of starter, optionally making brake top of a brake piece and a described disk form Elastic Contact, thereby obtain when switching in the rotary manipulation of scale handle hit sense of touch.

According to the technology described in the JP-A-2002-189559, when sharing a rotary switch between a plurality of selection functions, what occur in the scale handle hits sense of touch and can switch to another selection function from a selection function.Yet,, therefore require the quantity of disk to equal the quantity of hitting sense of touch that remains to be produced because the sense of touch of respectively hitting to be produced requires a disk.Therefore, when the quantity of hitting sense of touch that occurs in a rotary switch increased, the quantity of the disk of requirement correspondingly increased.Therefore, the quantity that is arranged on the disk in the control switch device becomes more, and this causes worrying that the control switch device size increases.In addition, when the quantity of the parts of disk increases, correspondingly produce the cost of parts in the disk, and worry the increase that this causes component costs.

Cooperating with overhead 12 provides the piston component 16 that hits sense of touch to be arranged on the position of the below of the overhead 12 in the switch case 9 to scale handle 10.Piston component 16 has the piston shell 17 of shape approximation in cuboid, and described piston shell 17 is fixed to the inner wall surface of described switch case 9.The brake piece 18 (abbreviating " piece " hereinafter as) that is assumed to as sphere is attached to piston shell 17, with by constitute by wind spring etc. drive member 19 (referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) all the time with described recessed/convex pattern 13 flexibly keeps in touch, and can relatively move along the direction (that is the direction of arrow Rb among Fig. 3) of driving of driving member 19.Piece 18 is corresponding with module component.

As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, what be formed with that recessed/convex pattern 13 towards overhead 12 opens wide accommodates part 20, and it is similar to the indenture in the piston shell 17, and described 18 is housed in and accommodates in the part 20 relatively moving.Drive member 19 and also be housed in described accommodate in the part 20 and attached in the following manner, an end of promptly driving member 19 contacts with the lower surface of accommodating part 20 with described 18 another end of keeping in touch and driving member 19.Piece 18 can be carried out linear reciprocating in accommodating part 20.In the present embodiment, piece 18 can move along the direction of the operating axis of scale handle 10.

When scale handle 10 was rotatably operated, overhead 12 rotated relatively synchronously with rotatablely moving of described scale handle 10, and described thus overhead 12 is carried out rotatablely moving with respect to the piston component 16 that is positioned at described case side.At this moment, double dot dash line indication as shown in Figure 3, the piece 18 of piston component 16 moves with antagonism and drives the urge of member 19 and the top 14 of crossing overhead 12.The resistance that produces when each piece 18 is crossed top 14 is generated as the sense of touch of hitting of scale handle 10.By stopper mechanism 11 generate to hit sense of touch definite by multiple factor, for example size of the spacing between the height at top 14, the top 14, piece 18 and the urge of driving member 19.

Control switch device 3 is provided with forbids the performance constraint mechanism 21 of scale handle 10 at the rotary manipulation of pre-position, to forbid the further rotary manipulation of handle from this position thus.In the description below, be shaped as rod and the stopper 22 operated with the motion of confinement block 18 is arranged in the piston component 16, driving that direction is linear to be moved along what drive member 19 about performance constraint mechanism 21.Stopper 22 is inserted in the bore portion 23 of the base wall that drills through piston shell 17, can carry out linear movement simultaneously.Stopper 22 is attached in the following manner: promptly another end of being arranged in piston shell 17 and stopper, stopper end is exposed to the outside of piston shell 17.In piston shell 17, stopper 22 attached being inserted into are simultaneously driven in the member 19.Stopper 22 constitutes stopper member (piston stopper member).

The linear-motion actuator of operating as the drive source of performance constraint mechanism 21 24 is contained in the switch case 9.Linear-motion actuator 24 is the actuator of actuating force of the reciprocating type linear movement of driving shaft 24a for output form.For example, the revolving force with o or motor (DC motor) converts the drive source that the linear movement of driving shaft 24a and the motor mechanism of output linear movement etc. are used as linear-motion actuator to.Linear-motion actuator 24 is with respect to the direction of driving of driving member 19, promptly the operating axis 10b with respect to scale handle 10 laterally installs in the following manner: promptly the driving shaft 24a of actuator carries out reciprocating type linear movement along the direction of driving direction (that is the direction of the arrow Rc among Fig. 3) of driving member 19 with right-angle crossing.Linear-motion actuator 24 is corresponding with the cross linear actuator.

As shown in Fig. 2 to Fig. 5, the supporting member 25 that is attached to the stopper 22 of piston component 16 from supported underneath is permanently attached to the end of the driving shaft 24a of described linear-motion actuator 24.Linear-motion actuator 24 is along activate the supporting member 25 that is attached to driving shaft 24a perpendicular to the direction of driving direction of driving member 19 reciprocating typely, thereby linear activated reciprocating typely supporting member 25 between two positions in the present embodiment, the unlocked position (state shown in Fig. 3) that described two positions in the present embodiment are stopper 22 releases and the lock position (state shown in Fig. 4) of stopper 22 lockings.

The removal that prevents to be retained in stopper 22 removals in the released state prevents that part 25a is formed on the position near the end of supporting member 25, is lower than other zones of supporting member 25 to become.When supporting member 25 raises the center position that is formed on supporting member 25 to the ramp portion 25b of lock position by linear-motion actuator 24 along the stopper 22 that its outstanding direction will be positioned at unlocked position when linear activated.Retaining part 25c is formed on the position near the basic end of supporting member 25, wherein said retaining part is removed the position prevent part 25a and is kept stopper 22 to hoist from unlocked position by ramp portion 25b pushing away being higher than, thereby stopper 22 is remained on the place, lock position.In addition, the end that supports described supporting member 25 is formed in the switch case 9 with the guide support platform 26 (referring to Fig. 2) that can carry out linear movement.Supporting member 25 is corresponding with transducer.

As shown in Figure 2, the encoder 27 of the rotation amount (revolution) of detection scale handle 10 is attached to the lower end of the operating axis 10b of scale handle 10.Encoder 27 is made of the pulse coder of the value of for example exporting the detection rotation with pulse signal form.When detecting the rotation of scale handle 10, encoder can be exported the detection signal of the corresponding umber of pulse of rotation amount of the scale handle 10 that obtains when having therewith.Determine that switch 7a, Returning switch 7b and encoder 27 constitute detector.

As shown in Figure 6, control switch device 3 is equipped with the on-off controller 28 as the control unit of control switch device 3.On-off controller 28 is used as the RAM 31 of working region etc. and constitutes by the ROM 30 of the CPU 29 that is used for control switch controller 28 in a concentrated manner, the multiple program of storage and data set, in program event.On-off controller 28 is by the operation of the control program among the ROM 30.On-off controller 28 calculates the rotary manipulation amount of scale handle 10 by using the detection signal that is detected by encoder 27; Provide information to another control unit of request rotary manipulation amount about operational ton; And the screen display on the switching display 4.

Further, on-off controller 28 is based on passing through the rotary manipulation amount of use from the scale handle 10 of the detection signal detection of encoder 27 acquisitions, and enabling and forbidding of the rotary manipulation of control scale handle 10 adopts linear-motion actuator 24 as drive source simultaneously.Promptly, when the scale handle is arranged in the scope (wherein the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 is activated) of rotary manipulation, on-off controller 28 drives linear-motion actuator 24 and is release, thereby makes stopper 22 enter released state and enable the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10.Simultaneously, when scale handle 10 reaches the lever operated stop position of scale (wherein the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 is disabled), on-off controller 28 drives linear-motion actuator 24 and is locking, thereby makes stopper 22 enter the operation that is further rotated of lockup state and forbidding scale handle 10.On-off controller 28 is corresponding with controller.

The operation of the control switch device 3 of present embodiment now will be described.

When the ignition switch (omitting from accompanying drawing) of vehicle 1 was operated to ACC position or IG position, described on-off controller 28 entered starting state, thereby its operator scheme is set at project button preference pattern; With the menu screen shown in Fig. 7 32 as the initial operation screen display on display 4; And identification is as the control switch 7 of project button selector switch.Will optionally a plurality of project buttons 5 of appointment, 5...... be presented on the menu screen 32 in the mode of appointment when setting is installed in the function of the multiple vehicle arrangement in the vehicle 1.The project button 5, the 5...... that are presented on the menu screen 32 comprise: for example, air conditioner function setting button 5a, it is selected when setting each function of air conditioner; Auto navigation button 5b, it is selected when setting each function of auto-navigation system; Sound equipment button 5c, it is selected when setting each function of stereo set; And other button.

The selectivity of the project button 5 on the menu screen 32 is specified by using the selection coordinate position Px on scale handle 10 mobile displays 4, button center 33 being arranged on the project button 5 of expection thus, and behind the navigation button center, pushing the definite switch 7a (referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 6) that troops in 2 at the center of being arranged on and carry out.After the selection operation of switch 7a is determined in identification, on-off controller 28 identifications are as the project button 5 of operation requests button, wherein said selection coordinate position Px was positioned rapidly before the operation of determining switch 7a, and made vehicle 1 carry out the processing operation in response to the function of operation requests button.

When project button 5 is selectively operated on menu screen 32, under the situation of control switch 7 this moment as the not limited no limited rotary control switch of its rotary manipulation scope, even when handle is positioned at any position, on-off controller 28 also drives linear-motion actuator 24 and is released state, and with the location independent of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, thereby the supporting member 25 that will be attached to described driving shaft 24a remains on unlocked position (state shown in Fig. 3).As a result, even stopper 22 reaches the released state that wherein scale handle 10 also reduces when handle is positioned at any position of rotary manipulation.Thus, enable on the whole rotary manipulation scope of piece with the relative linear movement of driving the piece 18 that direction aims at of driving member 19, and the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 allows to be implemented on the not limited scope of rotary manipulation.Therefore, control switch 7 is as not limited rotary control switch.When scale handle 10 was rotatably operated, maintenance moved up and down with the piece 18 of recessed/convex pattern 13 Elastic Contact of overhead 12, occurs hitting sense of touch thus in scale handle 10.

When air conditioner function setting button 5a be subjected on the menu screen 32 optionally determine operation the time, on-off controller 28 becomes himself mode transitions the function setting pattern of air conditioner; On display 4, show air conditioning function setting screen 34 shown in Figure 8 details function setting screen as air conditioner; And identification control switch 7 is as the air conditioner functional switch.The air blast button of when switching air outlet slit, selecting 35, the air rate of selecting when the setting air flow rate is set button 36; And the wind pushing temperature of selecting when setting the temperature of air-supply setting button 37 is assigned to air conditioner function setting screen 34.In the present embodiment, even control switch 7 supposition are used as rotary control switch also not limited when the selectivity of button 35 to 37 is determined operation.

When air blast button 35 was optionally specified on the air conditioner function setting screen 34, test button selected definite on-off controller of operating 28 that the mode transitions of himself is become air blast function setting pattern; Air blast setting screen 38 shown in Fig. 8 is presented on the display 4; And identification control switch 7 is as air blast function setting switch.Be presented on the air blast setting screen 38 with separately the corresponding air blast function image of air blast function 38a, 38a......, and the air blast function of selecting this moment is by being illustrated by the air blast function image 38a on the screen of arrow 38b indication and demonstration.When the selection mode of air blast function when this moment, scale handle 10 rotary manipulation switched, the display position of the arrow 38b on the air blast setting screen 38 is also according to selecting thus and the position of the air blast function of appointment is switched and shown.

In many cases, ordinary blower function setting switch is a rotary manipulation scope limit switch, and the scale handle of described rotary manipulation scope limit switch can only operation rotatably in given scope.When the control switch 7 of present embodiment is used for the purpose of air blast function setting, even preferably under the situation of common use pattern, also control switch 7 is rotated performance constraint.Therefore, on-off controller 28 is determined respectively to be positioned at the air blast function (preceding outlet) at place, an end of scale handle 10 and another air blast function (dehumidification function position) at another place, end of being positioned at the scale handle along the direction of its rotary manipulation as scale handle stop position along the direction of its rotary manipulation.When scale handle 10 was positioned at any of scale handle stop position, on-off controller was forbidden the further rotary manipulation of scale handle 10.

That is, when scale handle 10 arrived scale handle stop position, it was that lockup state and the supporting member 25 that will be attached to driving shaft 24a are arranged on lock position (state shown in Fig. 4) that on-off controller 28 drives linear-motion actuator 24.In lockup state, when the end, result basis of rising by ramp portion 25b as stopper 22 was supported by retaining part 25c, stopper 22 entered the wherein fixing lockup state of vertical motion of piece 18.At this moment, piece 18 is fixed in the state of these piece paddy portion 15 joints, and described thus scale handle 10 can not be carried out any further rotary manipulation.Thus, control switch 7 is as rotary manipulation scope limit switch.

As shown in Figure 9, actual scale handle stop position is set at the Xa place, position at any some place on the slope at top 14, and piece 18 rises to the top at described top 14.Its reason is, after stopper 22 enters lockup state, piece 18 is on the slope of the effect downslide caving portion 14 of the urge of driving member 19, returning certain amount of scale handle 10 and the position of departing from scale handle 10 thus, thereby stopper 22 is returned to described released state from centre position Xa as scale handle stop position.By this structure, even as reaching the result of scale handle stop position, scale handle 10 enters after the lockup state, and scale handle 10 also can discharge from lockup state undoubtedly, thereby can carry out the continuous rotary manipulation of scale handle 10.

When air rate setting button 36 was optionally specified on the air conditioner function setting screen 34, the on-off controller 28 that the selectivity of test button is determined became air rate to set pattern the mode transitions of himself; Air rate setting screen 39 shown in Figure 8 is presented on the display 4; And identification control switch 7 is as the flow rate configuration switch.The flow rate image 39a that describes flow rate is presented on the flow rate setting screen 39, and is illustrated as the air mass flow of selecting at this moment by the result of the flow rate image 39a of arrow 39b appointment and demonstration in setting flow rate position.At this moment, when the selection mode of air rate passed through the rotary manipulation switching of scale handle 10, the display position of the arrow 39b on the flow rate setting screen 39 also was shown, and specified the flow rate of back realization to switch according to selectivity simultaneously.

Because such flow rate configuration switch also is rotary manipulation scope limit switch usually, so on-off controller 28 also is set at control switch 7 rotary manipulation scope limit switch at this moment.When scale handle 10 reached scale handle rest position at this moment, linear-motion actuator 24 was driven into locking, thereby made stopper 22 enter any further rotary manipulation of lockup state and restriction handle.The scope of the rotary manipulation of the scale handle 10 that also can realize when being used as air blast function setting switch when control switch 7 when the scope of the rotary manipulation of the scale handle 10 that control switch 7 is realized during as the flow rate configuration switch is identical or different.

When wind pushing temperature setting button 37 was optionally specified on the air conditioner function setting screen 34, the on-off controller 28 that the selectivity of test button is determined became wind pushing temperature to set pattern the mode transitions of himself; On display 4, show wind pushing temperature setting screen 40 shown in Figure 8; And identification control switch 7 is as the wind pushing temperature configuration switch.The wind pushing temperature image 40a of the temperature of description air-supply is presented on the wind pushing temperature setting screen 40, and arrow 40b specifies and the result of the wind pushing temperature image 40a of demonstration as passing through at the wind pushing temperature setting position, and the temperature of the air-supply that select this moment is illustrated.At this moment, when selected wind pushing temperature state passes through the rotary manipulation switching of scale handle 10, the temperature switching and the demonstration of the air-supply that the display position of the arrow 40b on the wind pushing temperature setting screen 40 is realized after also specifying according to selectivity.

Because such wind pushing temperature configuration switch is generally rotary manipulation scope limit switch, therefore on-off controller 28 also is set at control switch 7 rotary manipulation scope configuration switch simultaneously.When this moment, scale handle 10 arrived scale handle stop positions, linear-motion actuator 24 was driven to locking, thereby made stopper 22 enter any further rotary manipulation of lockup state and restriction handle.The scope of the rotary manipulation of the scale handle of realizing when using control switch 7 as the wind pushing temperature configuration switch 10 can be identical or different with the scope of the rotary manipulation of the scale handle of realizing in the situation of air blast function setting switch or wind pushing temperature configuration switch 10.

In the present embodiment, provide performance constraint mechanism 21, described performance constraint mechanism 21 makes the stoppers that can vertically move 22 that are attached on the described piston component 16 vertically move by linear-motion actuator 24, thus between described lockup state and released state the mode of operation of the described stopper 22 of switching.Therefore, the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 can switch between initiate mode and disabled status by using performance constraint mechanism 21.As a result, the control switch that can operate in unrestriced mode usually 7 is disabled realizing rotation in position arbitrarily, thereby described control switch 7 can be used as rotary manipulation scope limit switch.

The performance constraint mechanism 21 of present embodiment by from as the rear side of the piece 18 of the component parts of stopper mechanism 11 with the paddy portion 15 of stopper 22 by indentation/convex pattern 13, operate thereby the motion of fixed block 18 limits the restriction of scale handle 10.Therefore, the paddy portion 15 of stopper mechanism 11 is providing the stopper mechanism 11 that hits sense of touch and is locating to stop between the performance constraint mechanism 21 of rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 shared at an arbitrary position to scale handle 10.Therefore, even when performance constraint mechanism 21 incorporates in the such control switch device 3 with stopper mechanism 11, when making switch, overhead 12 also needs not be subjected to be used for the special processing of performance constraint mechanism.The brake overhead that uses up to now can be continued to serve as overhead 12.

The structure of present embodiment can produce following advantage:

(1) the performance constraint mechanism 21 of present embodiment is a kind of like this mechanism: promptly when control switch 7 is used as rotary manipulation scope limit switch, by utilizing the rotary manipulation that limits overhead 12 as the paddy portion 15 of the component parts of stopper mechanism 11, thereby stop scale handle 10 in rest position arbitrarily.Therefore, because when making switch, the special processing that overhead 12 needs not be subjected to be used for performance constraint mechanism is to stop the rotation of overhead, therefore the brake overhead that uses up to now can continue to use as overhead 12.

(2) in the present embodiment, direction of operating (direction of arrow Rb among Fig. 3) quadrature of direction of operating of linear-motion actuator 24 (direction of arrow Rc among Fig. 3) and stopper 22.Thus, even as the result when stopper 22 unsuitable rotation of scale handle 10 during at lockup state, external force is applied on the stopper 22 along moving direction, and the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24 takes to be used for supporting securely the position of described stopper 22.Therefore, though when external force when removing direction and be applied to that stopper 22 is retained in lockup state simultaneously on the stopper 22, linear-motion actuator 24 can promote stopper 22 and can not fail, thereby is difficult to make stopper 22 undesirably to discharge from lockup state.

(3) stopper 22 of present embodiment is the parts that separate with piece 18.Therefore, may be implemented as for the component parts such as stopper 22 and actuator 24 of component parts of operation rotating mechanism 21 and the irrelevant universal component of size of piece 18; Can think piston component 16 types.Correspondingly, eliminate the demand that is used for according to dissimilar piston element preparation manipulation limiting mechanisms 21, and can reduce the cost of the required parts of such performance constraint mechanism 21.

(4) the control switch device 3 to present embodiment uses GUI, and described GUI shows multiple project button 5 on display 4, and as selecting to determine operation by the executive button as a result that uses scale handle 10 selectivity action buttons.Therefore, even when the structure of using one of them scale handle 10 to share between a plurality of switch selection functions, the operator can obtain selectable option by the opereating specification of circular scale handle 10 and by the selection function of operating this moment in this case.As a result, the operator can determine the operable position that control switch 7 can activate in operating process, thereby can guarantee the high operability of control switch 7.

Second execution mode

With reference to Figure 10 and Figure 11 second execution mode is described.Because second execution mode and first execution mode have essentially identical structure, its difference is the variation of structure of the performance constraint mechanism 21 of first execution mode.Therefore, similar elements represents with similar Reference numeral, and omits the detailed description to them, and only provides the explanation of the difference between these execution modes.

As shown in Figure 10, control switch device 3 is provided with as the o 41 that is used for the driver part (drive source) of performance constraint mechanism 21.O 41 is provided with the solenoid shell 42 that is used for ccontaining polytype actuator member, and described solenoid shell 42 is fixed to the inner wall surface of described switch case 9.Electromagnet (coil) 43 with the source that acts on the power that produces o 41 is arranged in the solenoid shell 42.The similar movable axle 43a of shape and bar is attached to described electromagnet 43, carrying out reciprocating type linear movement along the direction of operating of aiming at the direct of travel of piece 18 (direction of arrow Rd among Figure 10).Push with respect to the end of movable axle 43a from the rear of piece 18 and fixing stopper 22 integrally is fastened to described end.O 41 is corresponding with the parallel lines actuator.

Always along between the inner wall surface of base portion 43b that drives member 44 insertion movable axle 43a that drives movable axle 43a away from the direction of piece 18 and solenoid shell 42.For example, shape approximation is that the hardware 45 of disk is fixed to the position near the bottom of described movable axle 43a, with jointly removable with described movable axle 43a.O 41 is taked two states: i.e. lockup state, and wherein electromagnet 43 attracts hardwares 45 when energising, thereby pushes described 18 by stopper 22; And released state, wherein when the energising of electromagnet 43 disconnected, movable axle 43a descended under the urge of driving member 44, thereby discharged the piece 18 of its position by stopper 22 restrictions.Electromagnet 43 is corresponding with magnet exciting coil, and hardware 45 is with movably metalwork is corresponding.

When using control switch 7 as limited rotary control switch not, on-off controller 28 always disconnects the energising of the electromagnet 43 of o 41, and with the location independent of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, thereby movable axle 43a presses down in the effect lower edge of the urge of driving member 44 direction relative with piece in o 41.At this moment, stopper 22 separates with piece 18, enters released state thus.Therefore, piece 18 motion actuated, and scale handle 10 starts to carry out rotary manipulation along its direction of rotation on gamut.

Be used as at control switch 7 under the situation of rotary manipulation scope limit switch, when the position of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 reaches scale handle stop position, on-off controller makes the electromagnet 43 of o 41 switch on 28 this moments, as shown in Figure 11, thereby electromagnet 43 is by the electromagnetic attracting force hardware 45 of electromagnet 43, to drive the urge rising movable axle 43a of member 44 thus towards piece 18 antagonism.Thus, stopper 22 briquettings 18 are to remain on stationary state with piece 18 thus.Scale handle 10 can not be carried out any further rotary manipulation, thereby control switch 7 is as rotary manipulation scope limit switch.

Except the middle advantage that limits in (1), (3) and (4) that is created in first execution mode, the structure of present embodiment can also produce following advantage:

(5) in the present embodiment, the direction of operating (direction of arrow Rb among Figure 10) of direction of operating of o 41 (direction of arrow Rd among Figure 10) and stopper 22 concentrically with respect to one another.Therefore, even as the result of the unsuitable rotation of scale handle 10 when stopper 22 is positioned at lockup state and make external force be applied on the stopper 22 along moving direction, result as the external force of the attraction that applies electromagnet 43d or more power, o 41 discharges, thereby stopper 22 moves to become release.Therefore, even when external force is applied on the stopper 22 that stopper 22 remains on lockup state simultaneously, this moment, stopper 22 also moved.As a result, stopper 22 and recessed/convex pattern 13 become and damage because of overload not too easily, thereby stopper 22 and overhead 12 are not vulnerable to the influence of breaking.

The 3rd execution mode

Now the 3rd execution mode is described by reference Figure 12 and Figure 13.Because the 3rd execution mode and first execution mode have essentially identical structure, its difference is the variation of structure of the performance constraint mechanism 21 of first execution mode.Therefore, in the present embodiment, only provide the explanation of the difference between these execution modes.

As shown in Figure 12, the piece 18 of present embodiment and stopper 22 are constructed to be equipped with the brake piece 18a (be called for short hereinafter and do " being equipped with the piece of stopper ") of stopper, and wherein piece 18 and stopper 22 are integrally fitted together.The piece 18a that is equipped with stopper of present embodiment is attached to described piston shell 17 can drive the direction reciprocating along what drive member 19 simultaneously.The piece 18a that is equipped with stopper when scale handle 10 rotary manipulations the time is not under the situation of locking, the piece 18a motion that is equipped with stopper of the type of integrated stopper is driven the urge of member 19 and is crossed top 14 with antagonism, as shown in Figure 12 shown in the double dot dash line.The resistance that produces when the piece 18 that at every turn is equipped with stopper is crossed top 14 is generated as the sense of touch of hitting to the operator of scale handle 10.

Be used as at control switch 7 under the situation of limited rotary control switch not, the driving shaft 24a that on-off controller 28 remains on actuator with straight line brake 24 is withdrawn in the state in the actuator, and with the location independent of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, thereby the supporting member 25 that will be arranged on the end of driving shaft 24a is arranged on the unlocked position of separating with the described piece 18a that is equipped with stopper.At this moment, the piece 18a that is equipped with stopper forms the wherein released state that moves the restriction that is not subjected to supporting member 25 of piece.Therefore, be equipped with stopper piece 18a mobile startup and with the location independent of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, thereby scale handle 10 can be carried out rotary manipulation on the gamut along its direction of rotation.

Simultaneously, be used as at control switch 7 under the situation of rotary manipulation scope limit switch, when the position of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 arrives scale handle stop position, on-off controller 28 this moment linear-motion actuator 24 is driven to driving shaft 24a wherein and extend in the state away from actuator, as shown in Figure 13, thereby the supporting member 25 towards the piece 18a that is equipped with stopper moves the end that is positioned at driving shaft 24a is positioned at the lock position thus.At this moment, piece 1 8a that is equipped with stopper enters lockup state, and wherein the supporting member 25 that moves through of piece limits, thereby scale handle 10 can not be carried out any further rotary manipulation.Correspondingly, control switch 7 is as rotary manipulation scope limit switch.

Except the middle advantage that limits in (1), (2) and (4) that is created in first execution mode, the structure of present embodiment can also produce following advantage:

(6) present embodiment is used the piece 18a that is equipped with stopper, and wherein piece 18 and stopper 22 fit together integratedly.Therefore, when the object of assembled block and one group of stopper member, parts are assembled by single assembly operation.Therefore, the assembling easiness along with the minimizing parts of program quantity can improve relatively.

(7) in the present embodiment, when piece 18 reached stationary state, the stopper 22 that keeps during for separating component with stopper 22 when piece 18 did not rise to form with piece 18 and contacts.When piece 18 and stopper 22 are separated from one another, there are the potential risks that stopper 22 contacts with piece 18 formation when piece 18 enters lockup state, thus the generation strike note.Yet, under the situation of the Construction integration described in present embodiment, do not need stopper 22 to move, and can eliminate the possibility that produces such strike note thus.

With reference to Figure 14 and Figure 15 the 4th execution mode is described.Because the 4th execution mode and second execution mode have essentially identical structure, its difference is the variation of structure of the o 41 of second execution mode.Therefore, in the present embodiment, only provide the explanation of the difference between these execution modes.

As shown in Figure 14, the piston component 16 of present embodiment is constructed to single parts, in described single parts, by described solenoid mechanism 46 is incorporated in the described piston shell 17, the o 41 and the piston component 16 of second execution mode are assembled together.In this piston component 16, electromagnet 43, movable axle 43a and hardware 45 are placed in the piston shell 17 and are attached in the following manner: promptly the end of movable axle 43a is as stopper 22, forms with piece 18 thus to contact.In piston component 16, the member 19 of driving that is used to make piece 18 and recessed/convex pattern 13 to form Elastic Contact is inserted between the lower surface of the inner wall surface of piston shell 17 and hardware 45.Realize this moment drives member 19 and solenoid side to drive member corresponding, and solenoid mechanism 46 formation solenoids.

In the process of scale handle 10 rotary manipulations, top 14 pushing blocks 18 are as shown in Figure 14 shown in the double dot dash line.Movable axle 43a (also comprising hardware 45) depresses by the urge that member 19 is driven in the push operation antagonism, thereby piece 18 motions are to cross top 14.When the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, the resistance that produces when each piece 18 is crossed top 14 is generated as the sense of touch of hitting to operator's scale handle 10.

Be used as at control switch 7 under the situation of not limited rotary control switch, on-off controller 28 always disconnects the energising of the electromagnet 43 of solenoid mechanism 46, and with the location independent of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, thereby electromagnet 43 and hardware 45 remained on non-attraction state and always enable the vertical motion of movable axle 43a.At this moment, with the vertical motion that starts described movable axle 43a explicitly, reach released state as the stopper 22 of the end of movable axle 43a.Therefore, piece 18 motion actuated and with the location independent of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, and scale handle 10 is activated to carry out rotary manipulation along its direction of rotation on gamut.

Simultaneously, be used as at control switch 7 under the situation of rotary manipulation scope limit switch, when the position of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 reaches scale handle stop position, described on-off controller 28 makes electromagnet 43 energisings of o 41 this moment, as shown in Figure 15, thus make electromagnet 43 electromagnetic attracting force hardware 45 by electromagnet 43.As a result, movable axle 43a enters stationary state, and its vertical motion is limited.Piece 18 fixing joints simultaneously have paddy portion 15.Therefore, scale handle 10 is disabled from the further rotary manipulation of stop position, and control switch 7 can be used as rotary manipulation scope limit switch.

The advantage that limits in the advantage that limits in (1) that is created in first execution mode, (3) and (4) and (5) of second execution mode, the structure of present embodiment also may produce following advantage:

(8) in the present embodiment, piston component 16 and o 41 are constructed to single parts.Therefore, attempt between these two parts, to use one group of parts, for example housing sharedly.Therefore, the quantity as the component parts of the results operation limiting mechanism 21 that uses parts sharedly reduces.Thus, piston component 16 is set in switch case 9 and o 41 required parts receiving spaces diminish, and control switch device 3 can be minimized.

(9) attract by electromagnet 43 to be positioned at same position, and whether be switched on or switched off irrelevant with the energising of electromagnet 43 so that stopper 22 reaches the hardware 45 of lockup state when electromagnet 43 energisings.Therefore, avoided being attracted to move towards electromagnet 43 thus by electromagnet 43 as the hardware 45 when electromagnet 43 is switched in second execution mode.To when hardware 45 contacts electromagnets 43, causing the concern of the generation of strike note to eliminate.

(10) when the stopper as a result 22 that is energized as electromagnet 43 enters lockup state, and the stopper as a result 22 that is disconnected when the energising as electromagnet 43 is when entering released state, and hardware 45 is positioned at identical position.Because hardware 45 does not move when stopper 22 switches between lockup state and released state, so stopper 22 can switch between lockup state and released state at once.

The 5th execution mode

Now the 5th execution mode is described by reference Figure 16 and Figure 17.Because the 5th execution mode and first execution mode have essentially identical structure, its difference is the variation of structure of the performance constraint mechanism 21 of first execution mode.Therefore, in the present embodiment, only provide the explanation of the difference between these execution modes.

As shown in Figure 16, the performance constraint mechanism 21 of present embodiment is constructed to and piston component 16 separated components.Performance constraint mechanism is set at wherein its position relative with the recessed/convex pattern 13 of overhead 12.Performance constraint mechanism 21 can be reciprocally, mobile driving shaft 24a linearly, adopt linear-motion actuator 24 as drive source simultaneously, and the end of driving shaft 24a is as stopper 22.The linear-motion actuator 24 of present embodiment is along following direction setting: promptly make stopper 22 (being driving shaft 24a) linear movement direction and piston component 16 drive member 19 to drive direction (direction of arrow Rb among Figure 16) parallel.The paddy portion 15 that realize this moment is corresponding with the indenture part, and stopper 22 constitutes stopper member (straight stopper member).

When control switch 7 is used as not limited rotary control switch, on-off controller 28 remains on the position of recalling in the actuator with the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24, and with the location independent of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, and reach the released state that stopper does not wherein engage with the paddy portion 15 of overhead 12 as the stopper 22 of the end of driving shaft 24a.At this moment, with the location independent ground of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, the motion of piece 18 is activated, and scale handle 10 starts to carry out the rotary manipulation on gamut along its direction of rotation.

Be used as at control switch 7 under the situation of rotary manipulation scope limit switch, when the position of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 reaches scale handle stop position, on-off controller 28 this moment drives the state of recalling for driving shaft 24a wherein with linear-motion actuator 24, as shown in Figure 17.At this moment, stopper 22 enters the lockup state that stopper wherein engages with the paddy portion 15 of overhead 12, thus the rotary manipulation of restriction scale handle 10.Therefore, scale handle 10 can not be carried out from any further rotary manipulation of scale handle stop position, and control switch 7 can be used as rotary manipulation scope limit switch thus.

Except the middle advantage that limits in (1), (3) and (4) that is created in first execution mode, the structure of present embodiment can also produce following advantage:

(11) the performance constraint mechanism 21 of present embodiment is and piston component 6 separated components.Thus, performance constraint mechanism can be by being attached to existing control switch 7 with performance constraint mechanism 21 when of the present invention and specifically implementing putting into practice.Significant variation in putting into practice the design that does not relate to control switch 7 when of the present invention.

Present embodiment is not limited to above-mentioned structure and also can carries out following modification:

In first to the 5th execution mode, when stopper 22 is switched into lockup state or released state, need not be limited to the actuator that the driving shaft 24a of actuator wherein carries out the line-type of reciprocating type linear movement as the actuator of drive source.For example, also can adopting wherein, driving shaft 24a carries out the rotatable actuator that rotatablely moves.

In first to the 5th execution mode, solenoid or motor can perhaps also can use other drive source as the drive source as the lockup state that is used to switch stopper 22.

In first to the 5th execution mode, the direction of the setting of actuator (solenoid) also can be oriented as along following direction: promptly make the direction of operating of driving shaft become and intersect with the direction of operating quadrature of stopper 22 or with the direction of operating of stopper 22.

In first to the 5th execution mode, the invention is not restricted to following structure: promptly wherein overhead 12 is attached to scale handle 10, and wherein piston component 16 is attached to switch case 9.Relation between the sub-assembly also can be put upside down.

In first to the 5th execution mode, the layout of piston component 16 and position need not be limited in the position that is lower than overhead 12.Particularly, overhead 12 is recessed like this/and convex pattern 13 is formed on the upper surface of board-like material, and piston component 16 also can be arranged on the position of the top of overhead 12.Optionally, as long as the recessed/convex pattern 13 of overhead 12 is formed on the side surface of board-like material, piston component 16 also can be arranged on the cross side of overhead 12.

In the first and the 3rd execution mode, be used for horizontal linear movement conversion with linear-motion actuator 24 and become the switching mechanism of the vertical linearity motion of stopper 22 to be not limited to be attached to the supporting member 25 of the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24.For example, as shown in Figure 18, can also adopt a kind of like this structure: wherein ramp portion 51 is arranged on the lower end of stopper 22, and wherein when the end of supporting member 25 inserts described stopper 22 rise along ramp portion 51.At this, ramp portion 51 constitutes transducer.

In the first and the 3rd execution mode, the stopper 22 of the motion of stop piece 18 is not limited to following structure: wherein when in released state, stopper always supports by supporting member 25.For example, as shown in Figure 19, also can adopt a kind of like this structure: wherein when being positioned at released state, stopper 22 supports by the inner wall surface of switch case 9.

In second execution mode, the member 44 of driving that is used for driving along the direction relative with overhead movable axle 43a (stopper 22) is not always necessary but omissible yet.Be used for driving driving between the inner surface and the hardware 45 in the solenoid shell 42 that member also can insert housing of hardware 45 towards overhead 12.

In the 4th execution mode, the member 19 of driving that is used to make the recessed/convex pattern 13 of piece 18 and overhead 12 to form Elastic Contact is not the position that always is limited between the lower surface of the inner wall surface that is clipped in piston shell 17 and hardware 45.For example, as shown in Figure 20, drive member 19 and also can be inserted between the inner wall surface of the rear surface of piece 18 and piston shell 17.In addition, between the position between the inner wall surface of such rear surface of driving position between the lower surface that member 19 also can be inserted in the inner wall surface of piston shell 17 and hardware 45 and piece 18 and piston shell 17.

In first to fourth execution mode, piece and stopper 22 are taked the form of separated components, and piece 18 and stopper 22 are taked the form of single-piece.These forms can be according to using pattern freely to change with the need.

In first to the 5th execution mode, piece 18 always is not limited to sphere.For example, piece 18 also can be taked for example to have and is used for preventing that the removal that stops is removed from piston shell 17 prevents shape partly.

In first to the 5th execution mode, the switching of the operation of the control switch 7 between initiate mode and the disabled status is not limited to be used for carry out the switching processing process according to the position of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10.For example, in the time of can also adopting the display screen that is used for when display 4 to become to be used to the attendant exclusion screen of the operation of forbidding scale handle 10, be used to forbid the processing procedure of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10.In addition for example, when display 4 was the touch panel type, the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 also can switch according to operating between starting state and the illegal state of touch panel.

In first to the 5th execution mode, control switch 7 is not limited to the switch of rotary manipulation type, and wherein the scale handle 10 as element to be operated rotates along direction of rotation.Control switch also can be for example switch of slide type, and element wherein to be operated is along laterally sliding.

In first to the 5th execution mode, the control switch device 3 of present embodiment always is not limited to the switch that is mounted on the vehicle.For example, as long as switch has as having for example operating system of electrical equipment, to be installed on it have the object of switch not do concrete qualification.

The 6th execution mode

Next, the 6th execution mode of the present invention will be described.The 6th execution mode has identical structure with first execution mode, and therefore, represents with identical Reference numeral corresponding to the member of those members of first execution mode, and will omit its detailed description.

Make the ccontaining part 20 and the hole 21 of the mutual UNICOM in the outside of housing pass the base wall boring of piston shell 17.Support the movable member 22 of driving member 19 from an end and be attached to hole 21, relatively moving along the direction of driving of driving member 19.In order to prevent movable member 22 from piston shell 17 removals, its diameter prevents that greater than the removal of reserve area part 22a is formed on the part place of the movable member 22 that is positioned at ccontaining part 20 inside.

As Fig. 2, Figure 21 and shown in Figure 22, control switch device 3 is provided with brake switching mechanism 23, and the intensity of hitting sense of touch that appears in the scale handle 10 is switched in described brake switching mechanism 23 when the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10.In following explanation, be contained in the switch case 9 as the linear-motion actuator 24 of the drive source of brake switching mechanism 23 about brake switching mechanism 23.Linear-motion actuator 24 is actuators that output has the actuating force of driving shaft 24a linear reciprocating motion form.For example, the revolving force of o or motor (DC motor) is converted to the rectilinear motion of driving shaft 24a and exports the drive source as linear-motion actuator such as described straight-line motor mechanism.Linear-motion actuator 24 drive relatively member 19 drive direction, be that the operating axis 10b of relative scale handle 10 laterally installs in the following manner, promptly make the driving shaft 24a of actuator carry out linear reciprocating motion along the direction of driving direction (that is the direction of arrow Rc among Figure 21) of driving member 19 with right-angle crossing.Linear-motion actuator 24 constitutes actuator and cross linear actuator.

As Fig. 2, Fig. 5, Figure 21 and shown in Figure 22, be permanently attached to the end of the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24 from the supporting member 25 of movable member 22 supported underneath that are attached to piston component 16.Linear-motion actuator 24 is along reciprocally activating the supporting member 25 that is attached to driving shaft 24a with the direction of driving the direction quadrature of driving member 19, activate supporting member 25 back and forth, linearly between two positions in the 6th execution mode thus, described two positions are promptly: the gentle sense of touch position (state shown in Figure 21) of hitting, wherein the sense of touch of hitting that occurs in scale handle 10 is set to become gentle; With the violent sense of touch position (state shown in Figure 22) of hitting, wherein the sense of touch of hitting that occurs in scale handle 10 is set to become violent.Supporting member 25 constitutes actuator and transducer.

Supporting movable member 22 at lower position sets with the low-level part 25a that becomes gentle and is formed on position near the end of supporting member 25 with the sense of touch of hitting that occurs in thus with scale handle 10.When supporting member 25 along its outstanding direction during by linear-motion actuator 24 linear actuation, ramp portion 25b promotes to be positioned at the movable member 22 at low-level part 25a place, described ramp portion 25b is formed on the medium position of supporting member 25.High level part 25c is formed on the position near the basic end of supporting member 25, wherein said part will remain on the position that is higher than low-level part 25a by the movable member 22 that ramp portion 25b promotes, be set in thus occur in the scale handle 10 hit sense of touch to become violent.

When the low-level part 25a by supporting member 25 supported, movable member 22 arrived lower position, drove member 19 thus and launched.Therefore, the urge of driving member 19 of compression blocks 18 is set at lower grade, and piece 18 forms Elastic Contact with recessed/convex pattern 13 under more weak active force, so gentleness is hit sense of touch and appeared in the scale handle 10.Simultaneously, when movable member 22 is supported by the high-level part 25c of supporting member 25, drive member 19 by movable member 22 extruding and shrink.Therefore, the urge of driving member 19 of compression blocks 18 is set at higher grade, and piece 18 forms Elastic Contact with recessed/convex pattern 13 under stronger active force.Therefore, the violent sense of touch of hitting appears in the scale handle 10.

As shown in Figure 2, the encoder 27 of the rotation amount (revolution) of detection scale handle 10 is attached to the lower end of the operating axis 10b of scale handle 10.Encoder 27 is made of for example pulse coder, and described pulse coder is exported the value with pulse signal form of detected rotation.When detecting the rotation of scale handle 10, encoder can output detection signal, and described detection signal has the umber of pulse of scale handle 10 rotation amounts that obtain corresponding to this moment.Determine that switch 7a, Returning switch 7b and encoder 26 constitute detector.

According to the multiple operation of when scale handle 10 is operated, carrying out by the operator, on-off controller 28 controls also drive linear-motion actuator 24, therefore by the mobile vertically movable member 22 of supporting member 25, with setting that changes the urge F that drives member 19 thus and the switching of hitting sense of touch of controlling appearance in the scale handle 10.Promptly enter in a kind of state when the position of the rotary manipulation of the display screen of finding display 4 and scale handle 10, wherein making gentleness hit sense of touch appears in the scale handle 10, on-off controller 28 is recalled the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24, is set to gentle grade to reduce movable member 22 thus and will hit sense of touch.Simultaneously, when find obtaining wherein to make that acutely hitting sense of touch appears at state in the scale handle 10, on-off controller 27 is recalled the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24, to raise movable member 22 and will hit sense of touch and be set to violent grade thus.On-off controller 28 is corresponding to controller.

Attach, in the control switch device 3 of the 6th execution mode, one of them control switch 7 is shared in a plurality of selection functions, and the purpose of selection and option change to another (comprising display screen and handle position of rotation) from a selection function.Therefore, preferably provide this species diversity by changing the intensity of hitting sense of touch that occurs in the scale handle 10 according to selection function.Thereby the control switch 7 of the 6th execution mode is provided with and can produces the stopper mechanism 11 that hits sense of touch in scale handle 10.Yet such stopper mechanism 11 has following feature, and promptly the intensity of hitting sense of touch that occurs at scale handle 10 degree of Elastic Contact that forms the piece 18 of Elastic Contact according to the recessed/convex pattern 13 with brake overhead 12 changes.For this reason, described feature provides by the degree that changes Elastic Contact.

For example, make when menu screen 31 is presented on the display 4 setting, gentleness is hit sense of touch and is appeared under the situation in the scale handle 10, and on-off controller 28 is recalled together with screen display the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24 when menu screen 32 is presented on the display 4 to actuator; Driving shaft is arranged on gentleness to be hit and touches desired location (state shown in Figure 21); And movable member 22 is arranged on lower position.At this moment, drive member 19 and launch, hit the sense of touch set condition to enter gentleness thus.Thus, the urge that obtains when piece 18 is driven at the rear when brake overhead 12 is set to little grade.As a result, piece 18 forms Elastic Contact with recessed/convex pattern 13 under more weak active force, thereby the gentle sense of touch of hitting appears in the scale handle 10 and scale handle 10 can be operated under more weak active force rotatably.

For example, make when air conditioner function setting screen 34 is presented on the display 4 setting, acutely hit sense of touch and appear under the situation in the scale handle 10, on-off controller 28 is recalled together with screen display the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24 when air conditioner function setting screen 34 is presented on the display 4 to the position away from actuator; Driving shaft is arranged on acutely to hit touches desired location (state shown in Figure 22); And with movable member 22 risings.At this moment, drive member 19 and shrink, acutely hit the sense of touch set condition to enter thus.Thus, the urge that obtains when piece 18 is driven at the rear when brake overhead 12 is set paramount grade.As a result, piece 18 forms Elastic Contact, appears in the scale handle 10 thereby acutely hit sense of touch with recessed/convex pattern 13 under stronger active force.Thus, the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 needs stronger active force.

And, even when air blast setting screen 38 owing to air blast button 35 optionally being operated on air conditioner function setting screen 34 when showing; When air rate setting screen 39 is optionally operated when showing owing to air rate being set button 36; Or optionally operate when showing owing to wind pushing temperature being set button 37 when wind pushing temperature setting screen 40, the sense of touch of hitting that occurs in 27 pairs of scale handles 10 of on-off controller is switched, and appears in the scale handle 10 thereby intensity meets the sense of touch of hitting of each display screen.By example, hit sense of touch and be set at high intensity, to guarantee scale handle 10 operation reliably on air blast setting screen 38 with minority setting screen project (project button number).On the contrary, sense of touch is set at low strength grade, is operating smoothly on the air rate setting screen 39 with most setting screen projects (setting reference numerals) or on the wind pushing temperature setting screen 40 to guarantee scale handle 10.

Thereby, in the 6th execution mode, switch vertically by linear-motion actuator 24 position of the movable member of driving member 19 22 of support piston 16, to regulate thus by driving the urge that member 19 is applied to piece 18, change is at piece 18 state with recessed/Elastic Contact that convex pattern 13 obtains when forming Elastic Contact, and switches in the sense of touch of hitting that occurs in the scale handle 10.What therefore, occur in scale handle 10 hits sense of touch and can freely switch a plurality of hitting in the sense of touch grade.Even as in the 6th execution mode, when a scale handle 10 was shared in a plurality of selection functions, control switch 7 also will be as the control switch that meets corresponding selection function, if from a function during to another generation different hit sense of touch.This is very effective for the sensation that strengthens switching manipulation.

The brake switching mechanism 23 of the 6th execution mode is that wherein said urge switches by using movable member 22 and linear-motion actuator 24 owing to switch the mechanism of hitting sense of touch intensity that occurs in the scale handle 10 by driving the urge that member 19 is applied to piece 18.Therefore, when the intensity of hitting sense of touch is switched in multiple grade, can switch the intensity of hitting sense of touch that occurs in the scale handle 10, and not need to prepare for example stopper mechanism parts respectively hitting the sense of touch grade.Thereby even when the switching mechanism of such many grade brakings device is combined in the control switch device 3, component count can correspondingly not increase significantly yet.This is effective for the increase that prevents the control switch plant bulk.

(1) the brake switching mechanism 23 of present embodiment produces following advantage, needn't prepare to be used for respectively hitting the stopper mechanism parts of sense of touch grade when promptly the intensity of hitting sense of touch that occurs in to scale handle 10 is switched.Therefore, even when stopper mechanism 23 is combined in the control switch device 3, component count can't correspondingly significantly increase.Even when the intensity of hitting sense of touch that occurs in the scale handle 10 can be switched, also can prevent the increase of the size of control switch device 3.

(2) because linear-motion actuator 24 usefulness act on the drive source of brake switching mechanism 23, so linear movement appears in all parts groups that are used to switch the intensity of hitting sense of touch of scale handle 10.Thereby, can simplify the structure of brake switching mechanism 23.

(3) in the 6th execution mode, the direction of operating of linear-motion actuator 24 (direction of arrow Rc among Figure 21) is oriented to direction of operating (direction of arrow Rb among Figure 21) quadrature with movable member 22.Even when external force since scale handle 10 movable member 22 during at lockup state the brute force rotation and when shifting out direction and put on movable member 22, the driving shaft 24a of linear-motion actuator 24 will support movable member 22 powerfully.Therefore, even when external force along shifting out directive effect in movable member 22 and movable member 22 during at lockup state, linear-motion actuator 24 can be pushed movable member 22 reliably, is difficult for producing the wherein situation of movable member 22 easy release from the lock position thus.

When the position of the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10 arrives handle rotation stop position, wherein limit the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, when the rotary manipulation of scale handle 10, the sensation of impact walls can be applied to the scale handle 10 at this handle rotation stop position, as long as switch to change into high grade so far being set to than the sense of touch of hitting of low-intensity grade.Therefore, this control switch 7 with the type that does not limit rotating range can also be as the rotary manipulation scope limit switch of the rotary manipulation scope with restriction.

The control switch device 3 use GUI of the 6th execution mode, described GUI is showing a plurality of project buttons 5 and the definite operation of executive button selection when any project button is optionally operated by using scale handle 10 on the display 4.Even when adopting one of them scale handle 10 in a plurality of switch selection functions during shared structure, at this moment the operator can be apprised of the opereating specification of scale handle 10 and by selectable option that this moment, selection function in operation obtained.As a result, the operator can determine the operating position that in operating process control switch 7 is actuated to, thereby can guarantee the operability that control switch 7 is higher.
