Equally, under the state of Figure 13 and Figure 14, during along the long side direction slide operating body 13 of mating holes 16a, on the 2nd slide block 16, do not act on operating physical force, thereby, the 2nd sliding members 18 does not change with respect to the contact position of above-mentioned the 2nd conductive pattern 26, but the 1st slide block 15 drives to the direction of operating slippage because of being driven the 13c of portion, and the 1st sliding members 17 changes with respect to the contact position of above-mentioned the 1st conductive pattern 25.In addition, though not shown, in this case, ring-type disc spring 14 is to the left and right directions elongation of Figure 13.
In addition, under Figure 13 and state shown in Figure 14, via the aforesaid operations button during to the diagonal slide operating body 13 of basket 10, the the 1st and the 2nd slide block 15,16 is corresponding with its direction of operating and slippage respectively to mutually orthogonal direction slippage ormal weight, for example move to Figure 17 and state shown in Figure 180, a side ring shape disc spring 14 that moves at large-diameter portion 13a extends.Thereby, again utilize not shown control part to carry out computing to external circuit output and the 1st sliding members 17 with respect to the corresponding detection signal of the contact position of the 1st conductive pattern 25 with the 2nd sliding members 18 detection signal corresponding by terminal 24, and can detect the glide direction and the slippage of operating body 13 with respect to the contact position of the 2nd conductive pattern 26.
And, behind such slide operating body 13, remove its operating physical force, then owing to the ring-type disc spring 14 that is pushed elongation by large-diameter portion 13a can utilize the original shape of returning elastically of self, so utilize the recuperability of this ring disc spring 14 that large-diameter portion 13a is pushed back, operating body 13 can automatically reset to Figure 13 and primary position shown in Figure 14.
The multi-way input device of aforesaid present embodiment example, when slide operating body 13, because the disc spring 14 in the ring-type of the outer peripheral face Elastic Contact of the complete discoideus large-diameter portion 13a of Zhou Shangyu is pushed to the glide direction elongation by this large-diameter portion 13a, even therefore make the operating body slippage that ring-type disc spring 14 is exceedingly extended.In addition owing to utilize the position of the interior perimembranous of the circular 10f of jetty portion, the 10g restriction ring-type disc spring 14 on the outstanding inwall that is formed on the 1st blank part 21, therefore, can be on full week with the position of equal condition restriction ring-type disc spring 14.Therefore, can adopt broad operating body 13 slidably the operation zone (operating area) time, even the deviation of glide direction difference, operating physical force does not almost have yet.In addition, when removing operating physical force, utilize the recuperability of the ring-type disc spring 14 of elongation to push back large-diameter portion 13a, therefore, can make operating body 13 automatically reset to primary position.Thereby the operability of this multi-way input device is extremely good.
In addition, 14 of employed ring-type disc springs need both ends 23a, the 23b of the disc spring 23 of buckle specific length to form simply in this multi-way input device, therefore, can suppress component costs.And ring-type disc spring 14 only temporarily increases and decreases its internal diameter ground strain, though can be repeatedly the slide living plastic deformation of also having difficult labour, therefore, can the good operability of long term maintenance.
And, in this multi-way input device, at least seal outside opening 10b, the open communication 10e of basket 10 at the primary position of operating body 13 by discoideus large-diameter portion 13a, therefore, foreign matter is few via the danger that these openings 10b, 10e enter the 1st blank part 21 or the 2nd blank part 22 when transporting multi-way input device etc.Thereby it is bad with the action of slide block 15,16 to be difficult to take place the ring-type disc spring 14 that brings because of entering of foreign matter, and foreign matter reduces attached to causing detecting bad danger on sliding members 17,18 or the conductive pattern 25,26, improves reliability.
In addition, this multi-way input device brings harmful effect for the detection action of this testing agency owing to the 1st blank part 21 of accommodating ring-type disc spring 14 is separated by next door 10d with the 2nd blank part 22 of accommodating testing agencies such as sliding members 17,18 and conductive pattern 25,26 so worry annular resilient parts (ring-type disc spring) 14.
In addition, when this multi-way input device of assembling, run through on the assembling fixture 30 among the jack 10c by in advance ring-type disc spring 14 being wound on the anchor clamps that run through basket 10, and the position that the large-diameter portion 13a that ring-type disc spring 14 can be remained on temporarily not the operating body 13 of going into group disturbs mutually, therefore, do not worry by ring-type disc spring 14 infringement assembleabilities yet.
Institute it should be noted that, in above-mentioned execution mode example, be provided with and make the basket 10 of the 1st blank part 21 towards outside opening 10b, but configuration relation that also can the 1st and the 2nd blank part is opposite, makes the 2nd blank part 22 of accommodating testing agency towards outside opening 10b.In this case, can only be wholely set from the large-diameter portion 13a that is housed in the operating body 13 in the 1st blank part and prolong jut 13b to the outside opening side by open communication, the part that is positioned at this jut 13b of the 2nd blank part plays a role as the drive division that drives a pair of slide block 15,16.
In addition, can only use also that any carries out the position limit of the interior perimembranous of ring-type disc spring 14 among the 10f of jetty portion, the 10g.And, except making sliding members 17,18 the detection mode of sliding on the conductive pattern 25,26, can also adopt light detection mode or magnetic detection mode, the electrostatic capacitance detection mode etc. of having utilized acceptance to send optical element.
In addition, can the substituted cyclic disc spring use the rubber components of ring-type or elastomer etc. as resetting device, also can use the silk spring etc. that is not ring-type, but, when as above-mentioned execution mode example, using the ring-type disc spring as resetting device, though be not easy for a long time deterioration repeatedly slide also be difficult for plastic deformation, therefore, can expect high reliability, so preferred.
