Description

Rotary switch

Technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of rotary switch, particularly a kind of rotatable and depressible rotary switch.

Background technology

Being seen in the market image capture unit is constantly weeded out the old and bring forth the new, and is example with the digital camera, because of it can significantly replace the traditional camera that uses film, and become one of popular indispensable electronic product now with clapping the facilitating functions of promptly seeing.

For in response to the various shooting demand of user, making present digital camera all possess has multiple camera function, functions such as for example static shooting, dynamically video recording, shooting at night, image editing are all gathered on same camera, to satisfy every requirement of user.Yet, if with every camera function give respectively one independently press key component control, too much key switch will occupy the space that is provided with of digital camera major part, so will cause the overall volume of camera too huge, and Fu Za control interface too, to be not easy to understand the execution function of each button representative to the user, and be difficult to control use more.Therefore, satisfy installing pattern rotary disk shutter (mode dial button) on digital camera, so that multiple camera function is designed together on a turntable structure, and by the rotation of pattern rotary disk shutter, and adjust the camera function of selecting the user actual required, so can significantly reduce the occupied space of key switch commonly used.

Though the above-mentioned common pattern rotary disk shutter person of being easy to use Fast transforms is to different image pickup modes, but expose to the pattern rotating disk on the camera case, be easy to because of the user when gripping camera, careless mistake touches rotary disk shutter, and rotation is adjusted to the image pickup mode that non-user needs, if the situation of false touch takes place in shooting process, will cause the user in operational inconvenience and puzzlement.

In order to solve the problem of the easy false touch rotary disk shutter of above-mentioned user, the rotary torsion that manufacturer satisfies rotary disk shutter strengthens, and causes the probability of dial rotation to reduce user's mistake to touch.Yet, increased the torsion of rotary disk shutter, the user relatively must apply just rotary mode rotary disk shutter successfully of bigger power, to be adjusted to required steer mode, user for can't accurately controlling the strength size causes the inconvenience of controlling on the contrary.

The utility model content

Technical problem to be solved in the utility model is, a kind of rotary switch is provided, and is easy to generate false touch with the rotary disk shutter that improves prior art, and in order to improve the false touch problem, and increase the weight of the rotary torsion of rotary disk shutter, cause the user to control the shortcoming of inconvenience.

In order to realize above-mentioned purpose, the rotary switch that the utility model provides includes a pedestal, an operating key, a flexible member, a connecting piece and a fixture, wherein pedestal has the sidewall that a base and is erected in the base periphery, with around forming an accommodation space, organizing the first electrically connect portions on the sidewall and be provided with more, and base is provided with one second electrically connect portion, in second electrically connect portion top one metal clips is set, and is provided with a retaining wall around the second electrically connect portion in base.And operating key can rotate in accommodation space and move, and operating key electrically contacts arbitrary first electrically connect portion via rotation, to export at least one first preset signals, or primary importance that can be outside protruding from accommodation space via pushing, and displacement between the second place in accommodation space of submerging, and when operating key is pressed into the second place, operating key electrically contacts with the second electrically connect portion, and export one second preset signals, and operating key is provided with a fastening groove with first positioning end and second positioning end, and second positioning end is a recess shape.

Flexible member is arranged between base and the operating key, and provide an elastic force, make operating key when pushing, can between the primary importance and the second place, move, and the two ends of connecting piece difference hook is in retaining wall and fastening groove, and connecting piece can rotate in pedestal along with operating key and move together, when connecting piece hook during in first positioning end of fastening groove, operating key will protrude from by the pushing and pressing of flexible member outside the accommodation space; Move to the second place in the accommodation space that submerges when pushing operating key, connecting piece is with displacement and hook to the second positioning end, so that operating key compression elastic element and being fixed in the accommodation space, and fixture is sheathed on operating key and be fixed on the pedestal, with the scope of activities of restriction operating key in accommodation space.

The utlity model has following useful effect: rotary switch combines rotation and pushes two kinds of different control modes, and can carry out different preset functions respectively, and when submerge through pushing the second place in accommodation space of operating key, and be fixedly arranged in the electronics by the hook of connecting piece, change steer mode to avoid user's false touch operating key.
