Next, use the manufacture method of the related variable resistance 1 of figure explanation the present patent application.
At first, utilize ester moulding, form rotating shaft 2 shown in Figure 4.Large-diameter portion 2a, protuberance 2c, caulking part 2d, recess 2e are integrally formed by this ester moulding.In addition,, except that PPS resin, LCP resin, can also exemplify PBT resin or polyamide etc., but preferably contain the raw-material grades of lubrification such as PTFE as the resin that is used to make.In addition, preferably eliminate or sneak into less as far as possible the material of glass fibre.This be because, when making rotating shaft 2 rotation, and outer packaging housing 3 or resin substrate 4 between have the part that produces friction, therefore reducing glass fibre can alleviate the wearing and tearing that this friction causes.
Then, metal plates and strips such as copper alloy are carried out punch process and form the hole of sliding part 2b, the caulking part 2d of rotating shaft 2 is carried out hot riveting by the hole of this sliding part 2b, thereby sliding part 2b is installed at the lower surface of the large-diameter portion 2a of rotating shaft 2.In addition, the shaping of caulking part 2d can also be used ultrasonic wave riveted joint etc. except that hot riveting.
In addition, also utilize ester moulding to form outer packaging housing 3 shown in Figure 3.Retaining hole 3a, opening 3b, groove 3c, the 3d of block base portion, rotation prevention portion 3e are integrally formed by this ester moulding.In addition, as the resin that is used to make, identical with rotating shaft 2, except that PPS resin, LCP resin, can also exemplify PBT resin or polyamide etc., but the reason for identical with rotating shaft 2 preferably contains the raw-material grades of lubrification such as PTFE, preferably eliminates or sneak into less as far as possible the material of glass fibre.
And, also utilize ester moulding to form resin substrate shown in Figure 24.Connector 4a, recess 4c, groove 4d, to prolong wall 4e, holding section 4f integrally formed by this ester moulding.In addition, as the resin that is used to make, preferred PPS resin, LCP resin.This is because to resin substrate 4, at aspects such as intensity or shaping easiness, thermal endurances requirement is arranged especially.
In addition, when resin substrate 4 carries out ester moulding, utilize the embedding mold to bury pin terminals 4b1 to 4b3 underground.Use Fig. 6 that this operation is described.The amplification view of connector portion 4 parts when Fig. 6 is the ester moulding of resin substrate 4.
As shown in Figure 6, between last metal pattern 80a and following metal pattern 80b, form the consistent space of shape with resin substrate 4, pin terminals 4b1 is inserted in advance the hole of the terminal maintenance usefulness that is formed at down metal pattern 80b, inject resin 90 in the space that makes progress under this state between metal pattern 80a and the following metal pattern 80b, by like this resin substrate 4 being carried out ester moulding.
The end face 4b1a of pin terminals 4b1 contacts with the lower surface of last metal pattern 80a, and resin 90 can not spread on the end face 4b1a when injecting resin 90.Therefore, on an interarea of the resin substrate of finishing 4, end face 4b1a exposes.
The mobile prevention 4b1c of portion of axle of pin terminals 4b1 has stipulated that pin terminals 4b1 keeps the outstanding length in hole of usefulness from the terminal that is formed at down metal pattern 80b.That is, be center and because the mobile prevention 4b1c of portion of axle is a axle with pin terminals 4b1 at radiation direction continuous protuberance, compare and will give prominence to the major part of pin terminals 4b1, therefore exceed the hole that can not insert down the terminal maintenance usefulness of metal pattern 80b with top.Therefore, by the end face 4b1a of suitable setting pin terminals 4b1 and the length between the mobile prevention 4b1c of portion of axle, the effect of the location in the time of can playing as configuration makes the end face 4b1a of pin terminals 4b1 contact with the lower surface of last metal pattern 80a.In addition because the mobile prevention 4b1c of portion of axle is a axle with pin terminals 4b1 is the center, at radiation direction continuous protuberance, therefore can cover down the hole of the terminal maintenance usefulness of metal pattern 80b fully.In view of the above, even keep at the terminal of the side of pin terminals 4b1 and following metal pattern 80b having plurality of gaps between the hole of usefulness, but upwards during the space injection resin 90 between metal pattern 80a and the following metal pattern 80b, also can stop resin 90 these gaps of inflow.Therefore, when pin terminals 4b1 is used as bonder terminal,, can reduce production costs because the resin that can prevent from not wish to want can prevent to make such substandard products, so rate of finished products is higher attached to the part that is used to be electrically connected.
Next, on an interarea of the resin substrate 4 of such ester moulding, conductive paste is printed on the precalculated position with predetermined shape,, forms collector body 42, the electrode 44,45 of ring-type with prolongation 42a by heat-treating.As conductive paste, preferably comprise the electroconductive resin of silver particles.In addition, form collector body 42, electrode 44,45 simultaneously, this is preferred scheme on the meaning that reduces process number, but at collector body 42, when electrode 44,45 is different materials, also printing process can be separated.The printing of this conducting paste, heat treated result be, the prolongation 42a, the pin terminals 4b3 that expose end face and collector body 42 that expose end face and electrode 44, pin terminals 4b2 of pin terminals 4b1 expose end face and electrode 45 is electrically connected respectively.
Next, to the resistor paste that contains carbon print, heat treatment, form circular-arc resistive element 41 with this, make on its coated electrode 44,45, and surround collector body 42.
In addition, on collector body 42, utilize printing, heat treatment to form lubricating film 43.This lubricating film 43 is used for protection collector body 42 when sliding part 2b slides, and need be the material with lubrification and conductivity.In addition, resistance value can slightly improve because of lubricating film 43, but because it constitutes collector body 42 is arranged under it, resistance value only can improve the thickness of lubricating film 43 to be measured accordingly, so the resistance value of the material of lubricating film can not brought too big problem.Therefore, can use the resistor paste that comprise carbon identical, when using same material,, therefore can reduce process number, can reduce production costs owing to can carry out simultaneously with printing formation, the heat treatment of resistive element 41 with resistive element 41.
By so above, prepare rotating shaft 2, outer packaging housing 3, resin substrate 4, and, can obtain the such variable resistance of Fig. 11 its assembling.
At first, insert rotating shaft 2, it can be kept with rotating freely to the retaining hole 3a of outside packaging shell 3.Next, resin substrate 4 is pressed into the opening 3b of outer packaging housing 3.At this moment, the opening 3b of outer packaging housing 3 is pressed into resin substrate 4 owing to the groove 3c of the opening 3b that is located at outer packaging housing 3 broadens easily.After being pressed into, the holding section 4f that is formed at the surface that prolongs wall 4e of resin substrate 4 embeds the 3d of block base portion of outer packaging housing 3.
On the other hand,, therefore have elasticity, apply the power that this elasticity produces to the direction of returning original form because outer packaging housing 3 is a resinousness.Though in groove 3c part, because the part desire that broadens of an end restores, so the result can utilize the chucking of holding section 4f and the 3d of block base portion to the directive effect of extrusion resin substrate 4, resin substrate 4 can not be extruded.Consequently, the chimeric reliably outer packaging housing 3 that is fixed on of resin substrate 4.
As mentioned above, because the variable resistance 1 of the present patent application can be made of rotating shaft 2, outer packaging housing 3, resin substrate 4, therefore constitute amount of parts and reduce, as mentioned above, assembling is also than being easier to.Therefore, miniaturization easily can significantly reduce production cost.
Industrial practicality
As mentioned above, the present invention is useful for variable resistance, particularly owing to reduce the formation amount of parts, reduces the number in man-hour of assembling, therefore can reduce production costs, and is in this respect more excellent.
