Like this, in the related multi-directional inputting device 1 of present embodiment, make abutting part 421b(tapered portion 421d) the receiving portion 104a(tapered portion 104b set with respect to align member 10) carry out butt and can make the first linkage part 4 mobile to the side's side along its axis direction (being the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 sides in present embodiment), therefore, can make the position stability of control member 3 via the first linkage part 4.Thus, can improve the output accuracy via operated the second rotating type adjustable resistor 7 of the second linkage part 5.In addition, protrusion tab 423 and upper side body 22(rear surface portion 222 by the first linkage part 4) internal face connect, limited the movement of the first linkage part 4 to the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 sides.
Particularly, in the related multi-directional inputting device 1 of present embodiment, in plastic align member 10, be provided with receiving portion 104a, therefore, can make the first linkage part 4 to the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 side shiftings by a part for plastic align member 10.Thus, can suppress to be accompanied by the movement of the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 sides and the situation that the first linkage part 4 producing is ground, and, can make the first linkage part 4 move smoothly to the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 sides.
In addition, in the related multi-directional inputting device 1 of present embodiment, an end of the first linkage part 4 (linking sheet 422) engages with the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 on the one hand, and the other end (pressing tablet 421) configures opposed to each other with push-button switch 8 on the other hand, align member 10 is configured in the other end side of the first linkage part 4, so, can not interfere and configure align member 10 with the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6, therefore can realize multi-directional inputting device 1 miniaturization.
The link sheet 422 of the first linkage part 4 is inserted in the hole portion 624 that the axial region 622 of the sliding part receiving portion 62 that the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 has forms.At the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6, sliding part receiving portion 62 configures opposed to each other with insulated substrate 63.Sliding part 61 is fixed in the front surface of sliding part receiving portion 62, becomes its part and the resistance pattern 631 of insulated substrate 63, the state of collector body pattern 632 sliding contacts of making.In addition, sliding part receiving portion 62 becomes the state connecting by the rear surface portion 222 of jut 623 and upper side body 22.
At this, with reference to Figure 12, the connecting state of the first linkage part 4 and the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 is described.Figure 12 is the first linkage part 4 of having of the related multi-directional inputting device of present embodiment 1 and the cutaway view of the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6.In addition, in Figure 12, for convenience of description, only show the first linkage part 4 and the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6.In addition, Figure 12 shows the cross section that flatly pressing tablet 421 and the link Pian422 center from the first linkage part 4 passed.
As shown in figure 12, be inserted in the state that the link sheet 422 in the hole portion 624 of axial region 622 supports with the supported facial 624a of planar portions 422a, by flexure strip 625 and abutting part 422b Elastic Contact.That is, link sheet 422 in axial region 622, become the state that supported facial 624a and flexure strip 625 clamp.Like this by flexure strip 625 with support facial 624a side Elastic Contact, thus, link sheet 422 not press from both sides gapped state and sliding part receiving portion 62 links.Therefore,, in the case of being accompanied by with respect to the toppling over operation of control member 3, the first linkage part 4 rotates, this rotation action suitably can be transmitted to the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6.
Like this, in the related multi-directional inputting device 1 of present embodiment, by the flexure strip 625 of the hole portion 624 interior settings in sliding part receiving portion 62, make to allow the first linkage part 4 to move to its axis direction, and sliding part receiving portion 62 is held in the link sheet 422 arranging in an end of the first linkage part 4 by elasticity, so can make the first linkage part 4 not be separated with gap and engage with the sliding part receiving portion 62 of the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6, therefore, in the case of making to rotate with the first linkage part 4 of control member 3 interlocks drive button switch 8, also can improve the output accuracy via operated the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 of the first linkage part 4.
Next, use Figure 13～Figure 15 to describe the action of the related multi-directional inputting device 1 of present embodiment.Figure 13～Figure 15 is respectively the key diagram of the action of the related multi-directional inputting device of present embodiment 1.Figure 13～Figure 15 shows the operate condition that has carried out toppling over the multi-directional inputting device 1 in the situation of operation with respect to control member 3.Figure 13 and Figure 14 show to the right-hand side of multi-directional inputting device 1 and have carried out toppling over the operate condition in the situation of operation, and Figure 15 shows to the rear side of multi-directional inputting device 1 and carried out toppling over the operate condition in the situation of operation.In addition, in Figure 13 and Figure 15, for convenience of description, omitted upper side body 22.And, in Figure 13, for convenience of description, omit the second rotating type adjustable resistor 7.
If control member 3 has been carried out to pressing operation,, in the multi-directional inputting device 1 shown in Fig. 8, the first linkage part 4 being bonded by axial region 33 moves to the lower side in shell 2., the first linkage part 4 links an end of sheet 422 and the abutting part of support chip 214 and moves rotationally as fulcrum to be formed with.If follow therewith, pressing tablet 421 also moves to the lower side, and the switch portion 82 that is placed with the push-button switch 8 of this pressing tablet 421 is pressed to the lower side.Thus, from be housed in switching circuit in push-button switch 8 via portion of terminal 83, to outside output example as the connection signal of push-button switch 8.
In the situation that like this control member 3 having been carried out to pressing operation, the movement of control member 3 can not affect the state of the second linkage part 5.Therefore, the second linkage part 5 is supported on lower side body 21(more particularly, support chip 215,216) and become the state that has maintained initial position.In addition, because control member 3 is depressed in shell 2, so the first linkage part 4 also can not rotate centered by its axis direction.The sliding part 61 of the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 therefore, linking with the first linkage part 4 can not rotate and become the state that has maintained initial position.
In addition,, if control member 3 has been carried out toppling over operation towards the right-hand side of multi-directional inputting device 1, as shown in figure 14, the first linkage part 4 being bonded by axial region 33 is in the interior rotation of shell 2.In this situation, as shown in figure 13, the first linkage part 4 is being positioned in pressing tablet 421 under the state of switch portion 82 of push-button switch 8, below the part of recess 214a of support chip 214 of side body 21 be that rotating fulcrum rotates.Link sheet 422 if be accompanied by the rotation action of this first linkage part 4 and rotate, the sliding part receiving portion 62 linking with this link sheet 422 and the sliding part 61 that is fixed on this sliding part receiving portion 62 rotate.With the spinning movement of this sliding part 61 accordingly, elastic arm 612 and skate 613 slide respectively on resistance pattern 631 and collector body pattern 632.Thus, export the signal corresponding with the sliding contact position of elastic arm 612 and skate 613 to outside via terminal 634.
In the situation that like this control member 3 having been carried out toppling over operation, the movement of control member 3 can not affect the state of the second linkage part 5.Therefore, the second linkage part 5 is supported on lower side body 21(more particularly, support chip 215,216) and become the state that has maintained initial position.In addition,, because control member 3 is only that initial position in shell 2 is toppled over, therefore, the first linkage part 4 can not be depressed.Therefore, the switch portion 82 of push-button switch 8 is not depressed and becomes the state that has maintained initial position.
As shown in figure 14, if control member 3 has been carried out toppling over operation, drive member 92 also together with control member 3 in the interior rotation of shell 2.Now, the 921d of spherical shape portion that becomes the disc-shape portion 921 of drive member 92 climbs to the state on the inclination face of protuberance 211a of lower side body 21, the application of force of drive member 92 entirety opposing disc springs 91 and pushing away on upward.Now, the thin axial region 922c in the axial region 922 of drive member 92 is guided and is moved upward by the first guide portion 325.In addition, the thick axial region 922b in the axial region 922 of drive member 92 is guided and is moved upward by the second guide portion 326.
Like this, the movement along axis direction of the axial region 922 of drive member 92, the first guide portion 325 forming by a part for the internal face by for regulation hole portion 321 and the second guide portion 326 and directed.More particularly, thin axial region 922c(in axial region 922 more particularly, the fore-end that is not provided with butt sheet 922e in thin axial region 922c) guided by the first guide portion 325 forming for the internal face of regulation minor diameter part 321a, the second guide portion 326 that the thick axial region 922b in axial region 922 is formed by a part for the internal face by for regulation large-diameter portion 321b guides.In addition the butt sheet 922e that, is arranged at axial region 922 is moved upward between the rib 324 that is arranged at hole portion 321.
The lower side part (part corresponding with the bottom of cylindrical portion 312) of the fore-end of thin axial region 922c and thick axial region 922b, be in axial region 922 away from 2 positions, place, guided by the first guide portion 325 or the second guide portion 326 respectively, therefore, can lengthen directed distance, can reduce and rock.Particularly, by a part for the internal face for regulation hole portion 321 guide axial region 922 away from 2 positions, place, therefore, compared with the situation that guides axial region 922 entirety with logical via portion 321, can make the movement of axial region 922 more smooth, and the angle of inclination that can reduce to be caused by gap.
And, if control member 3 has been carried out toppling over operation towards the rear side of multi-directional inputting device 1, as shown in figure 15, in slit pore 51b protuberance 32 connect with the frame shape 51a of portion and the second linkage part 5 in the interior rotation of shell 2.In this situation, a part of recess 215a, the 216a of the support chip 215,216 of the following side body 21 of the second linkage part 5 is that rotating fulcrum rotates.Link sheet 522 if be accompanied by the rotation action of this second linkage part 5 and rotate, the sliding part receiving portion 72 linking with this link sheet 522 and the sliding part 71 that is fixed on this sliding part receiving portion 72 rotate.With the spinning movement of this sliding part 71 accordingly, elastic arm 712 and skate 713 slide respectively on resistance pattern 731 and collector body pattern 732.Thus, the letter warp number corresponding with the sliding contact position of elastic arm 712 and skate 713 exported to outside by terminal 734.
In the situation that like this control member 3 having been carried out toppling over operation, only the axial region 33 of control member 3 rotates in the inserting hole 41a of the first linkage part 4, and the first linkage part 4 does not rotate.Therefore, the first linkage part 4 by lower side body 21(more particularly, support chip 214) support and become the state that has maintained initial position.In addition,, owing to being that the initial position of control member 3 in shell 2 toppled over, therefore the first linkage part 4 is not depressed.Therefore, the switch portion 82 of push-button switch 8 is not depressed and push-button switch 8 becomes the state that has maintained initial position.
In any situation of the state shown in Figure 13～Figure 15, all, if the operation to control member 3 (pressing operation, topple over operation) is disengaged, control member 3 is because the application of force of disc spring 91 is restored to initial position (state shown in Fig. 8).That is, in the case of from the pressed state of control member 3 has been removed pressing operation, due to the application of force of disc spring 91, control member 3 is returned by thruster upward, be restored to initial position.On the other hand, under the state shown in Figure 13 and Figure 15, a part that becomes the set 921d of spherical shape portion of the disc-shape portion 921 of drive member 92 is climbed to the state on the inclination face of protuberance 211a of lower side body 21.In the case of from the state shown in Figure 13 and Figure 15 by control member 3 topple over operation removed, the application of force of disc spring 91 acts on a part of the 921d of spherical shape portion on the inclination face of climbing to protuberance 211a, makes the inclination face sliding direction slip downwards of protuberance 211a.Thus, control member 3, to falling with an inclination of toppling over direction of action, is restored to initial position.In addition, can be also the structure that protuberance 211a is not set in the bottom surface sections 211 of lower side body 21.By protuberance 211a being set in bottom surface sections 211, the operation thoughts and feelings can make to topple over operation time is good, even if but bottom surface sections 211 is tabular surfaces, control member 3 also can be restored to initial condition.
As described above, in the related multi-directional inputting device 1 of present embodiment, the movement along axis direction of the axial region 922 of drive member 92, directed between the bottom of the cylindrical portion 312 forming highlightedly downwards the hole of control member 3 portion 321 and in Yu resettlement section, position 311 corresponding to axial region 922 upper end, so, the directed distance of the axial region 922 of drive member 92, the i.e. distance that supported by hole portion 321 can be set more longways, can reduce rocking of the drive member 92 that causes due to the gap between hole portion 321 and axial region 922.Thus, the position stability of the control member 3 can make initial condition and operation time, therefore, can suppress for detection of with the i.e. deviation of the output of the first rotating type adjustable resistor 6 and the second rotating type adjustable resistor 7 of the detecting unit of the rotation action of toppling over corresponding the first linkage part 4 of operation and the second linkage part 5 to control member 3.
