Description

  When the operation member that reciprocates between the non-operation position and the maximum operation position across the intermediate stop position is located at the intermediate stop position during forward movement from the non-operation position to the maximum operation position. In particular, the present invention relates to a three-position switch device that makes a contact state different from other positions, and more particularly, to a switch device that is easy to mount and can be made compact.

  Conventionally, the operation member is sequentially stopped at the non-operation position, the intermediate stop position, and the maximum operation position in the pressing operation direction with the finger, and the contact mechanism is turned off when the operation member is in the non-operation position where the operation member is not operated. A three-position switch device that turns on the contact mechanism when the operation member is operated to the intermediate stop position and switches the contact mechanism to the off state again when the operation member is further operated to the maximum operation position. It has become. This switch device is provided, for example, in a portable operation panel used for teaching an industrial robot or the like to ensure the safety of the operator.

  That is, in the portable operation panel connected to the control device that controls the operation of the robot, this switch device is provided together with an operation switch that outputs an operation signal corresponding to each of the various operations of the robot. When the operation member is operated up to the intermediate stop position and the contact mechanism of the switch device is in the ON state, the operation signal of each operation switch or the like is validated. On the other hand, when the operation member of the switch device is in the non-operation position or the maximum operation position, that is, when the contact mechanism of the switch device is in the OFF state, the operation signal of each operation switch or the like is invalidated.

  As a result, while the operator operates the operation member of the switch device to the intermediate stop position and operates the other operation switch etc. to operate the robot, the robot may When the operation is not performed, the operator releases the finger from the operation member of the switch device, or further presses the finger from the intermediate stop position to the maximum operation position to turn off the contact mechanism of the switch device. In addition, the robot operation can be stopped immediately regardless of the operation state of the operation switch or the like.

  As such a switch device, the applicant has conventionally proposed various configurations (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

  However, since the switch device disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a configuration including only a single contact, when trying to cope with signal multiplexing in order to prevent immediate operation in the event of contact failure, There is a problem that a large space is required because a plurality of switch devices are arranged in the portable operation panel, and a complicated configuration is required for operating each operation member of the plurality of switch devices simultaneously. is there.

  In addition, the switch device disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes a large operation member that is assumed to be operated with four fingers, and requires a large installation space. There is a problem that a specially shaped mounting hole must be formed in the housing.

  Further, in the switch device disclosed in Patent Document 3, two contact points are simultaneously operated by a hinge operation, and a general circular mounting hole can be used, but a casing of a portable operation panel. There is a problem that a relatively large mounting space is required outside and the operation force varies depending on the operation position of the operation member, so that a constant operation feeling cannot be given.

Therefore, any of the switch devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 is difficult to apply to a small portable operation panel.
JP 2001-035300 A JP 2002-042606 A International Publication No. 02/061779 Pamphlet

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that there is no need for a large mounting space inside and outside the portable operation panel, and it can be mounted via a circular mounting hole that is easy to process. It can be easily attached to the operation panel, and the operation force of the operation member is increased substantially linearly between the non-operation position and the intermediate stop position and between the intermediate stop position and the maximum operation position. An object of the present invention is to provide a switching device that can perform the above.

As a means for solving the above-described problems, the present invention provides a substantially cylindrical main body and an operating member having a hollow shape opened on the lower surface, and a part of the main body is exposed to the outside from the upper end of the intermediate stop position. An operation member that is supported so as to be reciprocally movable in the axial direction of the main body between the non-operation position and the maximum operation position, with a plurality of contact mechanisms arranged in parallel at the lower end of the main body, and a plurality of contacts at the lower end A follower member that is locked to each movable contact of the mechanism and that is movable in the axial direction of the main body inside the main body, and an operation member that is disposed substantially coaxially in the main body along the axial direction of the main body. The first and second coil springs biased toward the non-operation position side, the transmission member disposed between the first coil spring and the second coil spring in the axial direction of the main body, and the upper end of the operation member are always operated. Abutted against the member A contact member that is movable in the radial direction of the main body and has a lower end that selectively contacts the upper end of the driven member and the upper surface of the transmission member; A third coil spring that urges the upper end and the upper surface of the transmission member in the direction of contact,
The contact member is in an initial position where the lower end is in contact with the upper end of the driven member and the upper surface of the transmission member while the operation member moves from the non-operation position to the intermediate stop position, and the operation member is intermediate from the maximum operation position. During the movement from the stop position to the non-operation position, the lower end moves to a retracted position that does not contact the upper end of the driven member and the upper surface of the transmission member.

  In this configuration, the contact member that is movable in the radial direction of the main body within the operation member contacts the upper end of the driven member and the upper surface of the transmission member at the initial position, and the first and first members sandwich the transmission member vertically. Two coil springs are disposed, and a third coil spring that biases the contact member toward the initial position is disposed in the operation member. For this reason, only when the operating member at the non-operating position moves to the intermediate stop position, the movable contacts of the plurality of contact mechanisms are moved, and after the operating member reaches the maximum operating position from the intermediate stop position, the intermediate stop position is passed. All the members necessary for moving the movable contacts of the plurality of contact mechanisms before returning to the non-operating position are arranged in the operating member on a plane orthogonal to the axial direction of the main body. Therefore, the switch device is configured in a small size, and is attached in a range substantially matching a round hole formed in the housing.

  In addition, while the operation member moves from the non-operation position to the intermediate stop position, the lower end of the contact member whose upper end is in contact with the operation member is in contact with the upper end of the driven member and the upper surface of the transmission member. Of the first and second coil springs, the second coil spring located above the transmission member is not deformed, and the first coil spring located below the transmission member is deformed in the axial direction of the main body, which is the moving direction of the operation member. To do. On the other hand, while the operation member moves from the intermediate stop position to the maximum operation position, the lower end of the contact member moves to a retracted position where it does not contact the upper end of the driven member and the upper surface of the transmission member. The second coil spring located is deformed in the operation direction of the operation member, and the third coil spring is deformed in the radial direction of the main body, which is a direction orthogonal to the movement direction of the operation member. Therefore, the elastic force acting on the operating member increases substantially linearly while the operating member is moved from the non-operating position to the intermediate stop position and while the operating member is moved from the intermediate stop position to the maximum operating position.

  According to the present invention, the movable contacts of the plurality of contact mechanisms are moved downward only when the operation member at the non-operation position moves to the intermediate stop position, and after the operation member reaches the maximum operation position from the intermediate stop position. All the members necessary for moving each movable contact of the plurality of contact mechanisms upward until the return to the non-operation position via the intermediate stop position is performed on the plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the main body. Can be placed in. As a result, the switch device can be configured in a small size, and can be mounted in a range that substantially matches a round hole formed in the housing, and can be applied to a small portable operation panel.

  Further, the elastic force acting on the operating member can be increased substantially linearly during each of moving the operating member from the non-operating position to the intermediate stop position and while moving the operating member from the intermediate stop position to the maximum operating position. It is possible to give a certain operational feeling to the operator.

  1A to 1C are a plan cross-sectional view, a front cross-sectional view, and a side cross-sectional view showing a configuration of a switch device according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing a state where an operation member is in a non-operation position. Yes. A switch device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an operation member 2, a transmission member 3, a contact member 4, a driven member 5, a guide member 6, a first coil spring 7, a first coil spring, and a main body 1 having a substantially cylindrical shape. The second coil spring 8, the third coil spring 9, and the microswitch (corresponding to the contact mechanism of the present invention) 11 and 12 are housed.

  The operation member 2 has a hollow shape that is open on the lower surface, and a part of the operation member 2 is exposed to the outside from the upper end of the main body 1 and extends in the axial direction of the main body 1 between the non-operation position and the maximum operation position across the intermediate stop position. It can be reciprocated freely. The microswitches 11 and 12 are juxtaposed in the radial direction of the main body 1 at the lower end portion of the main body 1. The microswitches 11 and 12 include a movable contact 11a (12a) that selectively contacts the first fixed contact 11b (12b) and the second fixed contact 11c (12c). The movable contact 11a (12a) is attached in a direction to contact the first fixed contact 11b (12b) which is the upward direction in the axial direction of the main body 1 by the elastic force of the return spring 11d (12d) via the lever 11e (12e). It is energized.

  The driven member 5 has a lower end locked to the movable contact 11a (12a) of the microswitches 11 and 12 via a lever 11e (12e), and is movable in the axial direction of the main body 1 inside the main body 1. Yes. The first coil spring 7 and the second coil spring 8 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the main body 1 substantially coaxially along the axial direction of the main body 1 with the transmission member 3 interposed therebetween. The second coil spring 8 located on the upper side of the transmission member 3 has an upper end held on the inner surface of the operation member 2 and a lower end held on the transmission member 3. The first coil spring 7 located below the transmission member 3 has an upper end portion held by the transmission member 3 and a lower end portion positioned in the main body 1.

  The abutting member 4 is movable between the initial position and the retracted position in the radial direction of the main body 1 with the upper surface always in contact with the operating member 2 inside the operating member 2. The third coil spring 9 is biased toward the initial position by the elastic force. The lower end portion of the contact member 4 selectively contacts the upper end of the driven member 5 and the upper surface of the transmission member 3. That is, when the contact member 4 is in the initial position (the state shown in FIG. 1B), the lower end is in contact with the upper end of the driven member 5 and the upper surface of the transmission member 3, and is positioned at the retracted position. In this state, the lower end portion does not contact the upper end of the driven member 5 and the upper surface of the transmission member 3. The mutual contact surfaces of the transmission member 3 and the contact member 4 and the upper end of the driven member 5 are configured by inclined surfaces inclined downward from the initial position of the contact member 4 toward the retracted position. In a state where no pressing force is applied to the operation member 2, a gap is provided between the lower surface of the contact member 4 and the upper end of the driven member 5.

  The guide member 6 is fixed to the operation member 2 at the upper end and includes a shaft portion (corresponding to a part of the guide member of the present invention) that fits into a guide hole 1a formed in the main body 1 in the axial direction. ing. The shaft portion of the guide member 6 is slidable in the guide hole 1 a along the axial direction of the main body 1. Further, ribs 1d protruding in the radial direction are formed at four circumferential positions on the inner peripheral surface of the main body 1, and groove portions 2a recessed in the radial direction are formed at four circumferential positions on the outer peripheral surface of the operation member 2. Is formed. Each rib 1d is fitted in each groove 2a. The longitudinal direction of each rib 1d and the groove 2a coincides with the axial direction of the main body 1. By the insertion of the shaft portion of the guide member 6 into the guide hole 1a and the insertion of the ribs 1d into the groove portions 2a, the operation member 2 is guided so that the moving direction thereof coincides with the axial direction of the main body 1. The operation member 2 can be operated in a stable state without causing an inclination in the direction of movement of the operation. In particular, with respect to the rib 1d and the groove portion 2a, as the pushing amount of the operation member 2 increases, the fitting amount of both increases, and the effect of preventing the inclination of the operation member 2 is increased.

  As shown in FIG. 1 (A), the third coil spring 9 has a longitudinal direction (stretching direction) at two locations sandwiching the second coil spring 8 in the single diameter direction of the main body 1 inside the operation member 2. They are arranged perpendicular to this diameter. For this reason, an elastic force can be applied to the contact member 4 so that the contact member 4 can move stably from the two third coil springs 9.

  The second coil spring 8 and the third coil spring 9 are covered on the upper surface side by the operation member 2, and when the operation member 2 is removed from the main body 1, the upper surfaces of the second coil spring 8 and the third coil spring 9. Is exposed to the outside. Therefore, the second coil spring 8 and the third coil spring 9 can be detached from the inside of the main body 1 by removing the operation member 2 from the main body 1.

  Two second coil springs 8 are provided in a state in which the central axes coincide with each other, and one or three or more may be provided. One or more third coil springs 9 can also be provided. Thus, by providing each of the second coil spring 8 and the third coil spring 9 in a state where each one can be easily attached and detached, the operation force when moving the operation member 2 from the intermediate stop position to the maximum operation position is obtained. It can be easily adjusted to the condition of the operator's preference.

  For example, the operating force of the operating member 2 changes as shown in FIG. 5A according to the position of the operating member 2 in a state in which one second coil spring 8 and one third coil spring 9 are provided. In this case, if only the second coil spring 8 is added, it can be strengthened between the intermediate stop position and the maximum operation position as shown in FIG. 5B, and if only the third coil spring 9 is added, FIG. As shown in C), only the click feeling when moving from the intermediate stop position to the maximum operation position can be emphasized. Further, when both the second coil spring 8 and the third coil spring 9 are added, the operating force of the operating member 2 changes as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an internal state at each position while the operation member moves from the non-operation position to the maximum operation position through the intermediate stop position in the switch device. In a state where no pressing operation force is applied to the operation member 2, the transmission member 3 moves in the axial direction of the main body 1 by the elastic force of the first coil spring 7 as shown in FIGS. The abutting member 4 is located at an initial position where it abuts at least the upper end of the transmission member 3. Accordingly, the operation member 2 is located at the non-operation position that is most exposed to the outside from the upper end of the main body 1.

  At this time, the driven member 5 is also located at the uppermost portion in the axial movement range of the main body 1 and does not press the levers 11e and 12e downward. Therefore, in the microswitches 11 and 12, the movable contacts 11a and 12a are The first fixed contacts 11b and 12b are in contact with each other.

  When the operation member 2 is pressed downward from the state shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the first coil spring 7 is elastically deformed, and the operation member 2, the transmission member 3, the contact member 4, and the guide The member 6 and the second coil spring 8 integrally move downward in the main body 1. At this time, the driven member 5 is also integrated with the operation member 2, the transmission member 3, the contact member 4, the guide member 6, and the second coil spring 8 after the lower end of the contact member 4 contacts the upper end of the driven member 5. The levers 11e and 12e engaged with the lower end of the driven member 5 in the microswitches 11 and 12 are pushed downward against the elastic force of the return springs 11d and 12d. Thereby, the movable contacts 11a and 12a are separated downward from the first fixed contacts 11b and 12b.

  The operation member 2, the transmission member 3, the contact member 4, the driven member 5, the guide member 6, and the second coil spring 8 continue to move downward, and as shown in FIGS. 2 (C) and 2 (D), the transmission member When the operating member 2 reaches the intermediate stop position, the movable contacts 11a and 12a are the second fixed contacts at the microswitches 11 and 12, respectively. 11c and 12c. As described above, in order to move the operation member 2 from the non-operation position to the intermediate stop position, the pushing force larger than the sum of the elastic force of the first coil spring 7, the elastic force of the return spring 11d, and the elastic force of the return spring 12d is used. It is necessary to apply pressure to the operation member 2.

  Since the return springs 11d and 12d that urge the driven member 5 upward via the levers 11e and 12e rotate as the driven member 5 moves, the operating member 2 moves from the non-operating position to the intermediate stop position. The elastic force acting from the return springs 11d and 12d during the movement does not increase linearly. On the other hand, the first coil spring 7 is linearly deformed in the contraction direction while the operation member 2 moves from the non-operation position to the intermediate stop position. Accordingly, the elastic force of the first coil spring 7 should be applied to the operating member 2 in order to move from the non-operating position to the intermediate stop position by making the elastic force of the first coil spring 7 sufficiently stronger than that of the return springs 11d and 12d. The pressing force can be increased substantially linearly, and a good operational feeling can be given to the operator.

  2C and 2D, in addition to the pressing force against the elastic force of the first coil spring 7 and the elastic force of the return springs 11d and 12d on the operating member 2, the second coil spring 8 is further applied. When the pressing force against the elastic force of the second coil spring 9 and the elastic force of the third coil spring 9 acts, the second coil spring 8 contracts and the operating member 2 moves downward, and the third coil spring 9 contracts and the The contact member 4 moves rightward in the drawing toward the retracted position.

  As shown in FIGS. 2E and 2F, when the operation member 2 moves to the lowest maximum operation position and the contact member 4 reaches the retracted position, the contact member 4 reaches the upper end of the driven member 5. The driven member 5 moves upward by the elastic force of the return springs 11d and 12d. At this time, in the microswitches 11 and 12, the movable contacts 11a and 12a are separated from the second fixed contacts 11c and 12c and come into contact with the first fixed contacts 11b and 12b.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an internal state at each position while the operation member moves from the maximum operation position to the non-operation position through the intermediate stop position in the switch device. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when the pressing operation force on the operating member 2 is released from the state where the operating member 2 has moved to the maximum operating position, first, the second coil spring 8 is moved. The operation member 2 is separated upward from the transmission member 3 by the elastic force, and reaches the intermediate stop position shown in FIGS.

  Further, after the operation member 2 reaches the intermediate stop position shown in FIGS. 3C and 3D, the operation member 2, the transmission member 3, the contact member 4, the guide are guided by the elastic force of the first coil spring 7. The member 6 and the second coil spring 8 are integrally moved upward. Thereby, when the lower end of the contact member 4 reaches above the upper end of the driven member 5, the contact member 4 moves to the left in the figure toward the initial position by the elastic force of the third coil spring 9, As shown in FIGS. 3E and 3F, the operation member 2 returns to the state where it is located at the non-operation position.

  While the operating member 2 returns from the maximum operating position to the non-operating position via the intermediate stop position, the driven member 5 is always located at the uppermost position in the moving range, and the movable contact 11a is connected to the microswitches 11 and 12. , 12a are kept in contact with the first fixed contacts 11b, 12b. Therefore, while the operation member 2 returns from the maximum operation position to the non-operation position via the intermediate stop position, the output signals of the micro switches 11 and 12 are not reversed.

  As described above, when the operation member 2 is pressed from the non-operation position to the maximum operation position, the displacement of the operation member 2 is applied to the micro switches 11 and 12 via the contact member 4 and the driven member 5. When the operating member 2 reaches the intermediate stop position, the output signals of the microswitches 11 and 12 are reversed, and when the operating member 2 reaches the maximum operating position, the contact of the contact member 4 with the driven member 5 Is released, and the output signals of the microswitches 11 and 12 are restored to the non-operating state. On the other hand, when the pressing operation force of the operation member 2 is released and the maximum operation position is returned to the non-operation position, the non-contact state between the contact member 4 and the driven member 5 is continuously maintained. 12 output signals are left in a non-operating state.

  As a result, when the switch device 10 is attached to the portable operation panel, the operator operates the operation member 2 of the switch device 10 to the intermediate stop position, and other operations provided in the portable operation panel. When an operation signal such as a switch is validated and the operator operates the operation member 2 to the maximum operation position, the portable operation panel is provided until the operation member 2 returns to the non-operation position next time. It is possible to invalidate operation signals from other operation switches.

  In addition, since the switch device 10 includes two micro switches 11 and 12 that operate in the same manner according to the operation state of the operation member 2, when one of the micro switches 11 and 12 has failed. In addition, a signal corresponding to the operation state of the operation member 2 can be output. For this reason, signal multiplexing can be handled only by the single switch device 10.

  Further, since the contact surfaces of the transmission member 3 and the contact member 4 are formed by inclined surfaces that are inclined downward from the initial position of the contact member 4 toward the retracted position, the operation member for the transmission member 3 is configured. With the displacement of 2, the contact member 4 can be accurately moved between the initial position and the retracted position.

  FIG. 4 is a front sectional view showing a configuration of a switch device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The switch device 20 shown in FIG. 4A includes a monitor switch 14 (corresponding to the monitor contact mechanism of the present invention) in addition to the microswitches 11 and 12 at the lower end of the main body 1. A monitoring driven member 15 whose lower end is locked to the movable contact 14a of the monitor switch 14 is disposed below the main switch 1 so as to be movable in the axial direction. The guide member 6 presses the monitor driven member 15 downward when the operation member 2 is lowered to the intermediate stop position, and causes the movable contact 14a to be separated from the fixed contact 14b in the monitor switch 14.

  The switch device 20 is turned on in a state where the operation member 2 is positioned between the non-operation position and the intermediate stop position, and the operation member 2 is positioned between the intermediate stop position and the maximum operation position. A monitoring signal that is turned off in a state of being present is output.

  The switch device 30 shown in FIG. 4B includes a monitor switch 14 (corresponding to the monitor contact mechanism of the present invention) in addition to the microswitches 11 and 12 at the lower end of the main body 1. A monitor driven member 16 whose lower end is locked to the movable contact 14a of the monitor switch 14 is disposed below the main switch 1 so as to be movable in the axial direction. The guide member 6 presses the monitor follower member 16 downward when the operation member 2 is lowered to the maximum operation position, and causes the movable contact 14a to be separated from the fixed contact 14b in the monitor switch 14.

  The switch device 30 is turned on when the operation member 2 is positioned between the non-operation position and the maximum operation position, and is turned off when the operation member 2 is positioned at the maximum operation position. A signal is output.

  With the above configuration, the switch device 20 and 30 can output an inverted enable signal only when the operation member 2 is at the intermediate stop position when the operation member 2 is being lowered, and for monitoring to identify the operation position of the operation member 2 A signal can be output.

  In addition, the peripheral edge 41 of the opening in the bag-shaped waterproof cover 40 is sandwiched between the peripheral edge 50 of the attachment hole in the housing and the step 1b formed on the outer periphery of the main body 1 and the attachment screw 1c. Thus, the switch devices 20 and 30 can be easily waterproofed. The same applies to the switch device 10.
