多方向输入装置100包含外壳110、框体120、FPC(Flexible printed circuits:柔性印刷电路)125、金属接触件130A、磁传感器130B、芯柱140、板150、促动器160A、160B、弹簧160C、磁铁170、罩180、杆190、以及盖部195。
多方向输入装置100是能够进行使杆190倾倒的操作和向下方向压入杆190的操作的输入装置。这种多方向输入装置100例如能够用于游戏机的操作部。
外壳110作为一例为树脂制,具有主体111以及圆顶部112。主体111为大致长方体状且无底的部件。主体111在被从下侧安装了框体120的状态下成为有底的部件。外壳110以及框体120为壳体的一例,主体111以及框体120为壳体主体的一例。
圆顶部112是从主体111的上表面的中央部向上方向呈圆顶状突出的部分,在顶部具有开口部112A。圆顶部112的上表面具有球面状的形状。
框体120作为一例为金属制,具有开口部121和卡合部122,开口部121供外壳110的从主体111的侧面突出的卡合部111A嵌入,卡合部122如图1所示那样在安装于主体111的状态下被弯折并与主体111卡合。
在框体120的中央的与XY平面平行的部分的上表面配置FPC 125。在由框体120和外壳110封闭的空间内收纳FPC 125、金属接触件130A、磁传感器130B、芯柱140、板150、促动器160A、促动器160B的一部分以及磁铁170的一部分。
框体120只要是被从下侧安装于外壳110的主体111并能够实现上述那样的收纳空间的部件即可,向外壳110安装的安装构造可以为任意的构造。
FPC 125作为一例为在聚酰亚胺等表面形成有布线图案的部件,具有布线部125A。在FPC 125安装有电子部件125B、金属接触件130A、以及磁传感器130B。
金属接触件130A安装于FPC 125的上表面的-X方向侧。金属接触件130A具有能够进行反转动作的金属制的圆顶,圆顶具有向上方向凸的形状,若被芯柱140向下方向按压,则由于反转动作而成为向下方向凸的状态,由此检测Z方向的压入操作。
磁传感器130B安装于FPC 125的上表面的大致中央。磁传感器130B内置有检测X方向上的磁场的变化的传感器、以及检测Y方向上的磁场的变化的传感器,检测磁铁170向X方向以及Y方向的位移。
芯柱140作为一例为树脂制的部件,为了向下方向按压金属接触件130A而设置。
板150作为一例为金属制,具有基部151、腿部152、以及延伸部153。基部151位于板150的中央,并载置促动器160B。在基部151的四方设有向下方延伸的腿部152。通过腿部152的下端抵接于FPC 125的上表面,从而基部151位于比FPC 125高出腿部152的高度的量的位置。构成为在基部151的下部配置磁传感器130B、电子部件125B中的一部分,即使向下方向按压促动器160B,也能够保护磁传感器130B等。板150通过俯视时从基部151向外侧延伸的延伸部153而固定于外壳110。
促动器160A作为一例为树脂制,是可动部的一例。促动器160A具有基部161A、开口部162A、轴部163A、164A、侧部165A、以及贯通孔166A。
促动器160A将杆190保持为能够沿X轴方向倾倒,并且促动器160A能够相对于外壳110沿Y轴方向倾倒。X轴为第一轴的一例,Y轴为第二轴的一例。能够沿X轴方向倾倒是指如图3所示的箭头那样,能够将Y轴作为旋转轴,使杆190沿X方向倾倒。能够沿Y方向倾倒是指,促动器160A如图4所示的箭头那样能够将X轴作为旋转轴,沿Y方向倾倒。
基部161A为促动器160A的主体,具有圆顶状的形状。基部161A的圆顶形状为与外壳110的圆顶部112的下表面侧的球面对应的形状。在基部161A的顶部设有开口部162A。开口部162A的图4所示的X方向的长度比图3所示的Y方向的长度长。
在基部161A的-X方向侧设有轴部163A,在+X方向侧设有轴部164A。此外,基部161A的±Y方向侧的侧面为与XZ平面平行的侧面,成为将圆顶形状切断那样的形状。在侧部165A设有贯通孔166A。
轴部163A以及164A为了使促动器160A能够相对于外壳110沿Y方向倾倒而设置。轴部163A以及164A的上侧的面弯曲为以X轴为中心轴的圆筒的侧面。
如图4所示,轴部163A嵌入外壳110的主体111的内侧的凹部111B。凹部111B的Y轴方向的宽度与轴部163A的Y轴方向的宽度一致。轴部163A通过凹部111B保持为能够将X轴作为旋转轴在YZ平面内转动。
如图4所示,轴部164A嵌入外壳110的主体111的内侧的凹部111C。如图4所示,轴部164A与轴部163A相比在Z方向上较长。
轴部164A的上侧的面弯曲为以X轴为中心轴的圆筒的侧面。凹部111C的Y轴方向的宽度与轴部164A的Y轴方向的宽度一致。轴部164A通过凹部111C保持为能够将X轴作为旋转轴在YZ平面内转动。
在贯通孔166A中插入杆190的轴部193,并将杆190保持为能够将Y轴作为旋转轴沿X方向倾倒。
此外,若杆190被向下方向压入(按压),则促动器160A以图4中轴部163A向斜下方向偏移的方式移动,将芯柱140向下方向按压。其结果,金属接触件130A进行反转动作。
促动器160B是相对于外壳110的底部而言对杆190进行支承的部件。促动器160B具有圆筒部161B与基座部162B。圆筒部161B在内部具有能够插入磁铁170的贯通孔,并固定于杆190的内侧。在圆筒部161B的下侧设有基座部162B。
基座部162B是具有比圆筒部161B大的直径的圆盘状的部分,在中心部具有与圆筒部161B的贯通孔连通的贯通孔。基座部162B配置于板150之上,并抵接于板150的上表面。
弹簧160C以内部插入了磁铁170的状态设于杆190与促动器B之间。详细而言,在杆190的内部,设于促动器160B的上侧。弹簧160C相对于促动器160B将杆190向上方向施力。
磁铁170为棒状的永久磁铁,作为一例,上半部分为S极、下半部分为N极。磁铁170的上端插入杆190的操作部191并固定,下半部分插入促动器160B的贯通孔的内部。在插入杆190的上端与插入促动器160B的贯通孔的内部的区间之间,插入有弹簧160C。
罩180为罩部件的一例,构成为强度比杆190高。罩180具有基部181以及圆顶部182。基部181为圆筒状的部分,具有沿Z方向贯通的贯通孔181A。如图2所示,贯通孔181A具有沿X轴方向较短,沿Y方向较长的形状。
贯通孔181A被插通杆190的轴部192。在基部181的下侧设有圆顶部182。基部181与圆顶部182的顶部连续地设置。
基部181具有凸部181B,该凸部181B嵌入设于杆190的轴部192的上侧的±X方向侧的凹部194(参照图4)。凸部181B是在贯通孔181A的X方向侧向内侧突出的部分。由于具有凸部181B,因此贯通孔181A成为在X轴方向上较短、在Y轴方向上较长的形状。
罩180通过基部181的凸部181B嵌入杆190的轴部192的凹部194,从而安装于杆190的操作部191的下侧。
圆顶部182为抵接部的一例。圆顶部182的上表面(+Z方向侧的弯曲的面)、与下表面(-Z方向侧的弯曲的面)具有球面状的形状。圆顶部182、与外壳110的圆顶部112具有相当于两个同心球的一部分的形状。两个同心球是指彼此的中心相同的两个球。圆顶部182、外壳110的圆顶部112具有相当于这样的两个中空的球体的一部分的形状。
如图3以及图4所示,在杆190处于中立位置的情况下,在圆顶部182与外壳110的圆顶部112之间存在间隙。中立位置,是指杆190处于不向X方向以及Y方向中的任一方向倾倒并且未被向下方向压入的状态时的位置。
若杆190被向下方向压入,则罩180的圆顶部182的下表面抵接于外壳110的圆顶部112的上表面。由于罩180安装于杆190的操作部191的下表面,因此若杆190被向下方向压入,则罩180被夹在操作部191的下表面与外壳110的圆顶部112的上表面之间。此时,杆190向下方向按压促动器160A,芯柱140按压金属接触件130A,金属接触件130A反转。此外,此时,弹簧160C收缩,促动器160B保持为与板150的上表面抵接的状态。
通过罩180的圆顶部182的下表面抵接于外壳110的圆顶部112的上表面,罩180被夹在操作部191的下表面与外壳110的圆顶部112的上表面之间,从而不能将杆190向下方向压入金属接触件130A反转以上的程度。因此,能够抑制磁传感器130B、电子部件125B等的破损。
此外,由于罩180与杆190相比强度较高,因此能够使圆顶部182的厚度变薄。这种罩180作为一例只要用硬度较高的合成树脂制作即可。
由于操作部191的直径比轴部192的直径大,因此不能通过成形加工将杆190与罩180一体制作,而是独立制作。若使杆190与罩180独立,则能够通过不同的材料制作,因此通过用强度比杆190高的材料制作罩180,与一体制作的情况相比,能够不降低罩180的强度地轻薄地制作。
杆190为操作部件的一例,具有操作部191以及轴部192。操作部191为圆盘状的部件,与轴部192相比具有较大的直径。在操作部191的上表面安装盖部195。
轴部192是从操作部191的下表面的中央向下方向延伸的圆筒状的部分。如图3所示,轴部192具有从下侧的Y方向的两侧突出的突出部192A。在突出部192A设有呈圆筒状向Y方向突出的轴部193。此外,如图4所示,在轴部192的上侧的X方向的两侧设有凹部194。
如图2所示,轴部192使突出部192A位于罩180的贯通孔181A的Y方向侧,并从上侧插入贯通孔181A。由此,凸部181B嵌入凹部194,罩180与杆190被固定。
此外,轴部193插入促动器160A的贯通孔166A,并被贯通孔166A保持为以Y轴为旋转轴而转动自如。由此,杆190安装于促动器160A,并且能够相对于促动器160A向X方向(图3所示的箭头的方向)倾倒。
此外,由于将磁铁170安装于杆190,因此在不将杆190向下方向压入而使其向X方向以及Y方向倾倒的情况下,磁传感器130B与磁铁170之间的距离不变化,能够通过磁传感器130B准确地检测磁铁170倾倒的方向。磁铁170倾倒的方向与杆190的轴部192倾倒的方向相同。
通过磁传感器130B准确地检测磁铁170倾倒的方向的原因如以下所述。在杆190为中立状态时,磁铁170的磁场朝向Z轴方向,不存在X轴与Y轴分量的磁场。若使杆190倾倒,则根据倾倒角度,X轴分量或者Y轴分量的磁场变大,因此能够通过磁传感器130B准确地检测倾倒角度。
例如在杆190倾倒时磁铁170与磁传感器130B的距离发生变化的情况下,由于倾倒角度与距离这两方的变化,X轴分量或者Y轴分量的磁场的强度发生变化,因此不能准确地检测倾倒角度。
根据这样的理由,在实施方式中,将磁铁170安装于杆190。
此外,开口部162A的图3所示的Y方向的长度比图4所示的X方向的长度短,轴部192的突出部192A向Y方向侧突出,因此轴部192不能从促动器160A向上方向脱出。
盖部195作为一例为圆盘状的部件,为树脂制。盖部195安装于杆190的操作部191。
接下来,使用图5至图7,对操作多方向输入装置100时的动作进行说明。图5至图7是说明多方向输入装置100的动作的图。在图5中,用XZ截面示出不向下方向压入杆190地使其向-X方向倾倒的状态。
若使杆190向-X方向倾倒,则轴部192抵接于外壳110的圆顶部112的开口部112A,从而限制杆190的动作。这在使杆190向+X方向倾倒时也相同。
此外,根据图3可知,若使杆190向±Y方向倾倒,则轴部192抵接于外壳110的圆顶部112的开口部112A,从而限制杆190的动作。
在图6中示出向下方向压入杆190的状态。在图6中示出XZ截面。作为一例,若从中立位置向下方向将杆190压入一定量,则弹簧160C被压缩、杆190向下方向移动,并且促动器160A以在XZ截面中向斜下方向偏移的方式移动,向下方向按压芯柱140。其结果,金属接触件130A进行反转动作。
此外,在像上述这样将杆190压入一定量时,罩180的圆顶部182的下表面抵接于外壳110的圆顶部112的上表面,由此不能将杆190向下方向压入一定量以上。因此,能够抑制磁传感器130B、电子部件125B等的破损。
另外,像上述这样向下方向压入杆190的操作能够从使杆190向两轴方向倾倒的任意的状态起进行。即使杆190倾倒,也与位于中立位置的情况相同,若将杆190向下方向压入一定量,则弹簧160C被压缩,杆190向下方向移动,并且促动器160A以在XZ截面中向斜下方向偏移的方式移动,将芯柱140向下方向按压。其结果,金属接触件130A进行反转动作。
此外,在罩180的圆顶部182的下表面抵接于外壳110的圆顶部112的上表面时,如图7所示,半径比圆顶部112大的圆顶部182的下表面182A抵接于圆顶部112的上表面112B。通过这种构成,即使杆190被从中立位置向下方向压入,或者从向两轴方向中的任一方向倾倒的状态起被向下方向压入,圆顶部182的下表面都与圆顶112的上表面抵接。
因此,在杆190被向下方向压入时,能够使杆190的操作量为一定量,并且能够稳定地限制操作量。此外,能够有效地抑制杆190被压入一定量以上的情况。
如以上那样,在向下方向压入杆190时,通过罩180的圆顶部182的下表面182A抵接于外壳110的圆顶部112的上表面112B,从而不能将杆190向下方向压入金属接触件130A反转以上的程度。因此,能够抑制磁传感器130B、电子部件125B等的破损。
因此,能够提供能够抑制压入操作引起的部件的破损的多方向输入装置100。
另外,以上说明了在杆190安装磁铁170,通过磁传感器130B检测杆190的倾倒的方式,但也可以利用电阻式的传感器,该电阻式的传感器利用在杆190倾倒时杆190的下端等与FPC 125上的电阻器接触的位置发生变化而引起的电阻值的变化。
此外,也可以代替多方向输入装置100而采用图8以及图9所示的多方向输入装置100M那样的构成。图8以及图9是表示实施方式的变形例的多方向输入装置100M的图。在图8中示出未进行压入操作的状态的截面,在图9中示出进行了压入操作的状态的截面。
在多方向输入装置100M中,在操作部191的下表面的中央部设置向下突出的凸部191A,多方向输入装置100M的杆190的凹部194与多方向输入装置100的杆190的凹部194相比,向Z方向的下方较长地形成。在多方向输入装置100M中,凹部194的Z方向的长度比凸部181B的Z方向的长度长,并且凹部194的下端的位置较低。此外,在罩180的上表面的中央部设有与凸部191A对应的凹部181C。
根据这种构成,在未进行压入操作的状态下,如图8所示,相对于促动器160B,杆190被弹簧160C向上方向施力,凸部181B位于凹部194的下端,在凸部191A的下表面与凹部181C的上表面之间存在间隙。
此外,在进行了压入操作的状态下,如图9所示,弹簧160C收缩,凸部181B位于凹部194的上端,凸部191A的下表面抵接于凹部181C的上表面,杆190向下方向按压罩180。换言之,在该状态下,罩180被夹在外壳110的圆顶部112与杆190之间。
在这种构成的多方向输入装置100M中,若向下方向压入杆190,则也通过罩180的圆顶部182的下表面182A抵接于外壳110的圆顶部112的上表面112B,并且凸部191A的下表面抵接于凹部181C的上表面,从而不能将杆190向下方向压入金属接触件130A反转以上的程度。因此,能够抑制磁传感器130B、电子部件125B等的破损。
因此,能够提供能够抑制压入操作引起的部件的破损的多方向输入装置100M。另外,在本构成中,图8以及图9的凸部181B以及凹部194的形状不限于此,只要是在凸部191A的下表面与凹部181C的上表面之间存在间隙,通过压入操作使该间隙减少而相互抵接,从而同样发挥作用的构成即可,凸部181B以及凹部194的形状也可以是图6所示那样的形状。
以上,说明了本发明的例示性的实施方式的多方向输入装置,但本发明不限于具体公开的实施方式、用途,能够不脱离权利要求书地进行各种变形和变更,作为一例,本发明的多方向输入装置可以用于游戏控制器。
