Description

  The present invention relates to a slide operation device suitable for setting a parameter or the like by sliding a moving unit by operation of a slide operator or the like.

  Conventionally, mixing consoles are used in broadcasting stations, recording studios, concert venues, etc., and output various audio signals such as musical instruments and vocals as monitors for players and monitors for mixers. Various controls (signal processing) need to be performed. For this reason, a large number of various operators are arranged on the operation panel, but it is required to improve the operability of the operation panel and reduce the burden on the operator.

For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-198953 discloses a technique in which a plurality of fader knobs have different colors such as red, green, and yellow, and the positions of the fader knobs can be identified by identifying the colors. It is disclosed. In this way, if the operating elements can be visually identified by color, the burden on the operator can be reduced when operating a large number of operating elements.
JP-A-9-198953

  In a slide volume device that operates a slide operator such as the above-described fader knob, a certain amount of pressure is applied to the operator when the operator is operated. In particular, a strong pressure may be applied when operating quickly.

  However, since the slide volume device detects the movement position of the internal moving unit linked to the slide operation element with a sensor or the like, the pressure applied to the slide operation element may affect the detection accuracy of the sensor. . Furthermore, if the pressure is too strong, the slide volume device itself may be destroyed. Furthermore, if the applied pressure is too strong, the sensing action may not work well, and the sensing accuracy may decrease.

  The present invention provides a slide operation device that obtains a movement signal corresponding to the operation state by operating a slide operator or the like, and reduces the influence of the applied pressure on the sensor detection accuracy at the time of operation and measures against vertical load on the entire device. It is a problem to apply.

  In the slide operation device according to the first aspect, when the moving unit moves while being guided by the moving guide provided in the fixed unit, the sensing means senses the operation state. The sensing means includes a movement guide itself and a detection unit that is provided in the movement unit and senses the movement guide and outputs a movement signal. The detection unit is provided opposite to the direction in which the pressure is applied when the moving unit is moved. Thereby, even if the moving part is pressurized and the moving guide is bent, the distance between the moving guide and the detecting part is maintained, so that the detection accuracy of the detecting part of the sensor is ensured. In addition, the operational feeling (sliding feeling) is improved and a measure against a vertical load on the entire apparatus is provided. The “movement signal” is a pulse signal whose frequency is proportional to the movement speed of the moving unit (example of the embodiment), a signal (data) indicating the movement amount of the moving unit, a signal (data) indicating the moved position, Any signal such as a signal (data) indicating the speed during movement and a signal (data) indicating the acceleration during movement may be used, and various signals corresponding to the movement state of the moving unit. Further, the movement signal may be the pulse signal, and the movement amount of the moving unit, the moved position, the moving speed, and the moving acceleration may be obtained from the pulse signal.

As a result, even when the internal lead wire is bent due to the movement of the moving portion, it is not necessary to pull out the bent portion of the internal lead wire from the lead wire outlet, and the lead wire is removed from the lead wire outlet. Since it can be fixed (or temporarily fixed) at the portion, the lead wire is not bent outside the slide operating device.

  According to the third aspect, in addition to the effect of the first or second aspect, since the magnetic detection is performed, the sensing surface of the magnetic sensor and the portion where the magnetic pole is formed are dirty, or the sensing surface and the magnetic pole are formed. Even if dust enters the gap between the two parts, the detection accuracy does not decrease, and a slide operation device that is resistant to dirt and dust can be obtained.

  According to claim 4, the effect of claim 1 or 2 can be obtained in the optical sensor.

  According to the fifth aspect, in addition to the effect of the first, second, third, or fourth aspect, the function assigned to the slide operation device is identified in color by the light emission of the light emitter provided on the slide operation element.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 11 is an overall view of the panel surface 100 of the mixing console using the slide operation device of the embodiment (the slide volume device of first to fifth examples described later). In the description of the panel surface 100, directions are shown in the up, down, left, and right directions when the panel surface 100 is viewed from the front. The panel surface 100 includes a volume controller 50 for adjusting the input level of a monaural input channel such as a microphone input or a line input, a channel-on switch operation button 60, a liquid crystal display 70 for displaying input channel installation contents, and the like. A slide operation element group 80 including a plurality of slide operation elements 61 corresponding to each of the plurality of slide operation apparatuses is provided.

  For example, the slide operator group 80 operates as a graphic equalizer to set frequency characteristics of input signals and output signals, sets parameters corresponding to filter characteristics, and sets input and output levels. Used to set various parameters such as setting parameters as faders to be adjusted. That is, many parameters can be set by selecting and switching the functions of the slide operator group 80 from a plurality of functions.

  FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the main part of the slide volume device of the first embodiment as a slide operation device. In this slide volume device, a frame 31 as a “fixed portion” is formed by side plates 31A and 31B that form a right angle surface on the back side of the panel surface 100 and two frames 31Cu and 31Cd having a U-shaped cross section. ing. The frame 31Cd is attached so as to surround the upper ends and both ends of the side plates 31A and 31B from above, and the frame 31Cu is attached on the frame 31Cd. Then, while the motor 32 is attached to one end of the upper frame 31Cu, the entire frame 31 is attached to the back surface of the front panel 100 by the fasteners 31a and 31b on both sides of the upper frame 31Cu. A first movement guide 41 and a second movement guide 42 that are parallel to each other are attached between the end faces 31c and 31d at both ends of the lower frame 31Cd along the longitudinal direction of the side plate 31A. ing. The first movement guide 41 is a round bar-shaped metal member, and the second movement guide 42 is a square bar-shaped metal member. The first and second movement guides 41 and 42 are moved as “moving portions”. A block 51 is attached so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the movement guides 41 and 42. In the first embodiment, “both first and second movement guides” or “second movement guide” corresponds to “movement guide” in the claims.

  A drive pulley 32a is attached to the drive shaft of the motor 32 disposed on one side of the frame 31Cu, and a driven pulley 32b is disposed on the other end of the frame 31Cu. A timing belt 32c is wound around the driving pulley 32a and the driven pulley 32b, and an upper portion of the moving block 51 is attached to one position of the timing belt 32c. As a result, the moving block 51 reciprocates along the first and second moving guides 41 and 42 by forward and reverse rotation of the motor 32. This is, for example, an operation for automatically setting the position of the slide operation element 61 so as to correspond to the parameter when another channel is assigned to the slide volume device (fader) or another function is assigned. .

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a main part of the moving block 51, and shows a state seen from the direction of the arrow P in FIG. The movement block 51 is formed with a shaft hole 51 a into which the first movement guide 41 is inserted, and shaft holes 51 b and 51 b into which the second movement guide 42 is inserted, and further away from the second movement guide 42. Thus, the board | substrate accommodating part 51c is formed as a surface depressed rather than the shaft holes 51b and 51b. The board accommodating portion 51c is for fixing a board 52 to which a sensor to be described later is fixed. One end of a flat cable 91 is connected to the board 52, and conducting wires 52a1, 52b1, and 52c1 are connected. The conducting wires 52a1, 52b1, and 52c1 are connected to the multicolor LED element 54 attached to the lever 53 through the through hole 51d. As shown in FIG. 2, a slide operator 61 having a light guide 61 a facing the upper light emitting surface of the multicolor LED element 54 is attached to the lever 53. The multicolor LED element 54 and the light guide 61a correspond to a “light emitter”.

  As shown in the two-dot chain line blowing portion in FIG. 1, a groove 42a is formed on the lower surface of the second moving guide 42 over substantially the entire length in the longitudinal direction, and a rubber magnetic material is formed in the groove 42a. A member 421 is inserted. The magnetic member 421 is a member in which N poles and S poles are alternately finely polarized (for example, in a cycle of 400 μm) in the longitudinal direction to form magnetic poles (so-called “magnet scale”). Or the 2nd movement guide 42 itself which does not provide a groove | channel may form the ferrite magnet which consists of metal oxides. A pattern in which these magnetic poles are formed corresponds to a “marking processing portion”. A magnetic sensor 71 (or MR sensor) as a “detector” formed by an IC including a Hall element is mounted on the substrate 52, and the sensing surface of the magnetic sensor 71 is a magnetic member 421. A slight gap (interval) is provided to face the magnetic pole surface 421a. Further, the output line of the magnetic sensor 71 and the conducting wires 52 a 1, 52 b 1, 52 c 1 of the multicolor LED element 54 are connected to the outside via a flat cable 91 attached to the substrate 52. The multi-color LED 54 emits light by the current supplied from the flat cable 91. In addition, the magnetic sensor 71 is energized via the flat cable 91, and a detection signal (“movement signal”) of the magnetic sensor 71 is sent to a circuit (not shown) via the flat cable 91.

  That is, when the magnetic sensor 71 moves with respect to the magnetic pole surface 421a of the magnetic member 421 as the moving block 51 moves, the magnetic sensor 71 responds to the reversal of the polarity of the N pole and the S pole of the magnetic pole surface 421a. Output a pulse signal. The moving amount (length) of the moving block 51 can be detected from the number of pulse signals. The magnetic poles of the magnetic pole surface 421a are composed of, for example, two rows, and the magnetic pole pattern is shifted by 1 / 2π in the longitudinal direction of the second moving guide 42, and the magnetic sensor 71 has a phase shifted pulse. Since a signal is output, the moving direction of the moving block 51 is determined by the direction opposite to the phase shift. Alternatively, the magnetic pole pattern is composed of an NSNS... Pattern having no phase shift, and the detection pole portion of the sensor may be arranged with a shift corresponding to 1 / 2π. Further, since the position information of the position before the movement of the moving block 51 is always stored by a control circuit or the like (not shown), the position of the moving block 51 in the entire slide volume device is determined based on this position information and the movement amount and movement direction. The position, that is, the position of the slide operation element 61 is detected.

  Here, when the slide block 61 is manually operated to move (slide) the moving block 51, the moving block 51 is generally pressurized in the direction indicated by the arrow Q in FIG. On the other hand, the upper portions of the shaft holes 51b and 51b of the moving block 51 are in contact with the upper end surface (surface opposite to the magnetic member 421) of the second moving guide 42 in the pressurizing direction. It has become. The moving block 51 is prevented from being lowered by the first and second moving guides 41 and 42 even if the pressure is applied with a slight force, but the moving block 51 is lowered by applying a strong force. However, since the second moving guide 42 is also lowered by the contact portion 51e, the gap (gap) between the magnetic pole surface 421a of the magnetic member 421 of the second moving guide 42 and the sensing surface of the magnetic sensor 71 is kept constant. Be drunk. Thereby, a stable signal can be obtained as the detection signal of the magnetic sensor 71, and the detection accuracy is ensured. When the gap varies, the detection signal level changes and the detection accuracy decreases, but this is not the case with the above embodiment.

  As described above, the magnetic sensor (detector) 71 senses the movement guide 42 that holds the movement block (movement unit) 51 provided with the magnetic sensor 71. The detection accuracy is significantly improved as compared with the case where the marking processing unit provided in 31A (or 31B) or the like is detected. That is, in the case where the marking processing unit provided on the side plate 31A (or 31B) or the like is detected in this way, if the moving block 51 is lowered by the applied pressure, the detection accuracy is directly affected. There is no such thing.

  In addition, since the detection is performed magnetically as in the above embodiment, the detection accuracy is reduced even if the sensing surface of the magnetic sensor 71 and the magnetic surface 421a of the magnetic member 421 become dirty or dust enters the gap. Thus, a slide volume device that is resistant to dirt and dust can be obtained.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the side plate 31B has a vertically long lead wire outlet 311 formed at the center in the moving direction of the moving block 51 (the center in the longitudinal direction of the side plate 31B). Then, the flat cable 91 (lead wire) connected to the magnetic sensor 71 and the multicolor LED element 54 is pulled out from the substrate 52, folded back 180 °, and further drawn out from the lead wire outlet 311 to the outside of the side plate 31B. Yes. That is, since the lead wire outlet 311 is in the center, the length of the portion inside the flat cable 91 from the lead wire outlet 311 may be approximately half of the entire sliding range of the moving block 51, and it is folded back. Since it is arranged, the flat cable 91 can be easily accommodated in the case 31. Accordingly, the flat cable 91 can be lightly fixed at the lead wire outlet 311. Even when the moving block 51 moves, the flat cable 91 is connected to the head of a normal printer as viewed from the outside of the side plate 31B. Since it does not dangle like a cable, the fit of the slide volume device in the device is improved.

  FIG. 12 is a circuit diagram of a parameter setting device using the slide volume device. This circuit is a circuit for switching and setting the slide volume device to a plurality of (three in this example) different functions, and includes switch circuits c1, c2, c3 and selector circuits d1, d2 interlocked with a function selection switch (not shown). Yes. Although FIG. 12 shows a circuit corresponding to one slide volume device, a similar circuit is also applied to a plurality of slide volume devices corresponding to the plurality of operators 61 of the slide operator group 80. The same function selected by the function selection switch is set in the other slide volume devices. Hereinafter, one slide volume device will be described.

  One ends of the switch circuits c1, c2, and c3 are grounded (earthed), and the other ends are connected to the selection terminals d11, d12, and d13 of the selector circuit d1, respectively. A volume circuit V1 is connected between the common contacts of the selector circuits d1 and d2. The volume circuit V1 is an electronic volume whose resistance is set according to a detection signal in the slide volume device. The selection terminals d21, d22, d23 of the selector circuit d2 are connected in parallel to the reference voltage and the utilization circuit 200. The signal lines d3, d4, and d5 connected in parallel to the utilization circuit 200 respectively send voltage signals to required locations in the utilization circuit 200 according to the functions (1), (2), and (3). It is supplied as a parameter. Further, one end of the red LED 54a and the green LED 54b of the multicolor LED element 54 is connected to a reference voltage, and the other end is grounded via resistors r1 and r2 and switch circuits c1 and c2, respectively, and resistors r3 and r4. Are commonly grounded via the switch circuit c3.

  When the function (1) is selected, the switch circuit c1 is turned on (closed), and the selection terminal d11 of the selector d1 and the selection terminal d21 of the selector d2 are connected to the volume circuit V1, respectively. When the function (2) is selected, the switch circuit c2 is turned on (closed), and the selection terminal d12 of the selector d1 and the selection terminal d22 of the selector d2 are connected to the volume circuit V1, respectively. Further, when the function (3) is selected, the switch circuit c3 is turned on (closed), and the selection terminal d13 of the selector d1 and the selection terminal d23 of the selector d2 are connected to the volume circuit V1, respectively. Accordingly, a voltage signal corresponding to the resistance value of the volume circuit V1 is generated by the operation of the slide volume device. This voltage signal is changed from the signal line d3 in the function (1) to the signal line d4 in the function (2). To the utilization circuit 200 from the signal line d5 at the time of function (3).

  Further, only the red LED 54a is lit when function (1), and only the green LED 54b is lit when function (2). In the case of function (3), both the red LED 54a and the green LED 54b are lit. As a result, the light guide 61a of the slide operation element 61 emits "red" when function (1), "green" when function (2), and "yellow (red + green)" when function (3). It is possible to easily confirm which function is currently selected by the light emission color of the light guide 61a.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the multi-color LED element 54 is two LEDs of the red LED 54a and the green LED 54b has been described. . In this case, by controlling the luminance of each LED, it is possible to develop colors with many colors, which is suitable for selecting a large number of functions. FIG. 13 is a circuit diagram of the parameter setting device when a large number of functions are selected. Switch circuits s1, s2,..., Sn corresponding to a plurality of operators (not shown) for selecting functions are connected in parallel to the reference voltage V. The ON signals of these switch circuits s1, s2,. The OFF signal becomes an L level signal, and these ON / OFF signals are input to the selector b1 and the table b2 as bit signals of a plurality of bits. The switch circuits s1, s2,..., Sn are alternatively turned on by the corresponding operators, and one bit of this bit signal is H level and the other bits are L level.

  The volume circuit V1 driven by the slide volume device is connected to the reference voltage V, and a voltage signal corresponding to the resistance value of the volume circuit V1 is input to the selector b1. The outputs e1, e2,..., En of the selector b1 correspond to the switch circuits s1, s2,..., Sn, respectively, and this selector b1 outputs e1, e.g. by the bit signals from the switch circuits s1, s2,. Alternatively, e2,..., en are selected, and the voltage signal of the volume circuit V1 corresponding to each function is supplied to the utilization circuit 200.

  On the other hand, the table b2 is a circuit that converts a bit signal input from the switch circuits s1, s2,..., Sn into, for example, three bit signals composed of 3 bits, and the three bit signals output are the switch circuit s1. , S2,..., Sn is a bit signal corresponding to the color assigned to the function selected. The three bit signals of 3 bits are supplied to electronic volume circuits va, vb, and vc that control supply currents to the red LED 54a, green LED 54b, and blue LED 54c, respectively. Thereby, the red LED 54a, the green LED 54b, and the blue LED 54c emit light with the luminance indicated by the corresponding bit signals. In this example, each bit signal is numeric data corresponding to the luminance of “0 to 7” in 3 bits, and is not lit (black) by combining the luminance of the three colors of the red LED 54a, the green LED 54b, and the blue LED 54c. Can emit light in 512 colors.

  A substrate 52 'is attached to the substrate holding part 51c', and a magnetic sensor 71 'as a "detector" is attached to the substrate 52'. In addition, one end of a flat cable 91 'is connected to the substrate 52' via a terminal portion 91a ', and conductive wires 52a1', 52b1 ', and 52c1' are connected. LED holding portions 5d1 and 5d2 are formed at the upper end of the lever 53 '. A multicolor LED element 54' is attached to the LED holding portions 5d1 and 5d2. Note that the LED holding portions 5d1 and 5d2 are formed in a semicircular arc shape with different upper and lower steps, as shown in the two-dot chain line blowing portion in FIG. 6 (third embodiment). The conducting wires 52a1 ', 52b1', 52c1 'are adhesively locked to the recesses 5a2, 5a3 provided in the opposing part for the frame 31A of the guide holding part 5a with a rubber adhesive (can be pulled off if pulled) to hold the LED It is led to the part 5d2 and connected to the multicolor LED element 54 '. The lever 53 'is attached with a slide operator 61' having a light guide 61a 'facing the upper light emitting surface of the multicolor LED element 54'. The multicolor LED element 54 'and the light guide 61a' correspond to "light emitters".

  The output line of the magnetic sensor 71 'and the conductive wires 52a1', 52b1 ', 52c1' of the multicolor LED element 54 'are connected to the outside via a flat cable 91' attached to the substrate 52 '. . This flat cable 91 'is also pulled out from the lead wire outlet 311 in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Similarly to the first embodiment, energization of the multicolor LED 54 'and the magnetic sensor 71' and extraction of the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 71 'are performed via the flat cable 91'. As will be described later, the first moving guide 41 'is formed with a magnetic pole as a marking processing unit, and the position of the moving block 51' (slide operation element 61 ') is detected by the detection signal of the magnetic sensor 71'. Is done.

  The first moving guide 41 'is manufactured from an alloy in which iron is used as a base material and nickel and cobalt are mixed. As a result, the first moving guide 41 ′ can retain the properties of the iron itself as it is, is not easily broken, and has a spring property that returns to its original state even if it is slightly bent. That is, the moving guide 41 'is less likely to be broken even when a pressing force is applied, and the apparatus can be prevented from being broken, rather than using a ferrite magnet itself that is easily broken.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the first moving guide 41 'is a magnet in which a large number of magnetic poles are alternately formed as N markings and S poles as a marking processing unit as in the first embodiment. . For example, the magnetic pole is a high-resolution magnet having a pitch of 100 μm between the N and N poles (50 μm between the N and S poles). The magnetic sensor 71 'is formed by an IC or the like including a Hall element (or MR sensor), and the sensing surface 71a' of the magnetic sensor 71 'is a magnetic pole surface of the first moving guide 41'. For example, a slight clearance CR (interval) of about 0.1 to 0.2 mm is provided to 41a '. And the magnetic field of this magnetic pole surface 41a 'is detected by the magnetic sensor 71', and a detection signal (movement signal) is obtained. That is, the first moving guide 41 'and the magnetic sensor 71' constitute sensing means.

  Here, the magnetic sensor 71 ′ senses the moving guide 41 ′ itself that holds the moving block 51 ′ provided with the magnetic sensor 71 ′. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, even if the moving guide 41 'is slightly bent by the applied pressure and the moving block 51' is lowered, the clearance CR is always constant, so that the detection accuracy by the applied pressure is improved. The influence can be eliminated.

  Further, as indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 4, the magnetic pole of the moving guide 41 ′ is formed such that the magnetic pole surface 41a ′ exhibits stronger magnetization than the inside of the moving guide 41 ′. The size may be small. That is, since the clearance CR is constant, the clearance CR itself can be reduced. Therefore, if the sensitivity of the magnetic sensor 71 ′ is set to the same sensitivity as when the clearance is increased, the magnetization itself may be weaker than when the clearance is increased. That is, the magnetization intensity of the magnetic pole surface 41a ′ may be small. The strength of this magnetization is only required to be magnetized to a minimum magnetic force such that there is no dead zone or non-operating zone of sensing by the magnetic sensor 71 'and the magnetic pole surface 41a' during normal pressure or normal operation. In addition, stable sensing can be obtained even when a strong pressure is applied. In this way, the clearance CR is made small to improve sensitivity and detection accuracy. Note that even if the clearance between the second moving guide 42 'and the moving block 51' is large, the sensitivity and accuracy are not affected. Therefore, the clearance may be designed somewhat rough and the cost can be reduced.

  FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a modification of the movement guide. The moving guide 41 'of the second embodiment described above has a round bar shape shown in (I). (II) is an oval bar shape with a flat cross section, (III) is a square bar shape with a square cross section, (IV) is a long plate shape with a vertical cross section, (V ) Shows a long plate shape whose cross section is a horizontal rectangle. The moving block is provided with a holding hole that matches the cross-sectional shape of these moving guides, but in the case of (IV) and (V), only one moving guide may be provided. In other words, the second movement guide 42 'plays an auxiliary role to prevent the movement block 51' from rotating laterally about the first movement guide 41 '. However, in the case of the above (IV) and (V), the rotation of the moving block can be suppressed by only one moving guide, and the second moving guide 42 'and the like are not required.

  The first moving guide 41 'is made of an alloy in which iron is used as a base material and nickel and cobalt are mixed, so it is also a moving guide that is not easily broken. You may make it form. In this way, any of (II) to (V) shown in FIG. 5 can be easily made. For example, since the magnetization method only needs to magnetize only the surface facing the magnetic sensor, the lower farite magnet does not decrease in magnetic force due to bonding. For example, the moving guide 41 'is magnetized only in the lower 3%, and the upper surface has almost no magnetic force. Further, the first moving guide 41 'may be insert-molded with a highly rigid stainless steel shaft and a magnetic member, as in the embodiments described later, to make the moving guide 41' robust. Thereby, the brittleness of ferrite or the like can be compensated and the magnetic strength can be ensured.

  In the second embodiment, the lower guide holding part 5b and the holding wheel 51b 'of the moving block 51' are fitted to the entire circumference of the second moving guide 42 '. Even if either one of the left and right sides of the guide holding part 5b (and the holding wheel 51b ') is open with respect to the guide 42', the moving guide 42 'is not detached from the guide holding part 5b because of the side plate. . Moreover, the lower part of the guide holding | maintenance part 5b (and holding wheel 51b ') may be open | released. This facilitates assembly. Further, the holding guide 51b ′ may not be provided in the lower guide holding portion 5b.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the slide volume device of the third embodiment as a slide operation device, and corresponds to a cross-section taken along arrow A in FIG. The elements corresponding to the elements of the first and second embodiments are denoted by “″” in the same numerical symbols as those of the first and second embodiments. Further, in FIG. 6, a cross-sectional view according to an embodiment to be described later is also illustrated in a two-dot chain line blowing portion. In the third embodiment, like the first movement guide 41 'in the second embodiment, the moving guide 41 "is manufactured from an alloy in which iron is used as a base material and nickel and cobalt are mixed, and is magnetized to be magnetic poles. A surface 41a ″ is formed. The moving guide 41 ″ passes through a shaft hole 51a ″ formed in the guide holding portion 5a ″ of the moving block 51 ″, and the moving block 51 ″ is slidably held in a direction orthogonal to FIG. Further, a protrusion 51b "is formed below the moving block 51", and side walls 42 "and 42" facing the protrusion 51b "are formed below the side plates 31A" and 31B ", respectively. . The side walls 42 "and 42" guide the protruding strips 51b "of the moving block 51" in the direction orthogonal to FIG. 6, and play the same role as the second moving guide 42 'of the second embodiment.

  A substrate 52 ″ is attached to the moving block 51 ″, and a magnetic sensor 71 ″ is attached to the substrate 52 ″. Conductive wires 52a1 ″, 52b1 ″, 52c1 ″ connected to the substrate 52 ″ are wired along the lever 53 ″ and connected to the multicolor LED elements 54 ″ attached to the LED holding portions 5d1, 5d2 at the upper end of the lever 53 ″. Connected to the lever 53 ″ is a slide operator 61 ″ having a light guide 61a ″ opposed to the upper light emitting surface of the multicolor LED element 54 ″. The light guide 61a ″ corresponds to a “light emitter”.

  The magnetic sensor 71 ″ faces the magnetic pole surface 41a ″ of the moving guide 41 ″ through an opening (not shown) of the moving block 51 ″. A metal frame 31Cu ″ is attached to the upper portions of the side plates 31A ″ and 31B ″, and is fixed to the back surface of the front panel 100 by the fasteners 31a ″ and 31b ″ of the frame 31Cu ″. Further, one end of a flat cable 91 ″ is connected to the substrate 52 ″. The flat cable 91 ″ is also drawn out from a lead wire outlet 311 ″ formed at the center in the moving direction of the moving block 51 ″ of the side plate 31B ″, as in the first embodiment, and is the same as in the first embodiment. Effects can be obtained. Similarly to the second embodiment, energization of the multi-color LED 54 "and the magnetic sensor 71" and extraction of the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 71 "are performed via the flat cable 91".

  Also in the third embodiment, since the magnetic sensor 71 ″ senses the movement guide 41 ″ itself that holds the movement block 51 ″, the movement guide 41 ″ is slightly caused by the applied pressure as in the second embodiment. Even if it is bent, the clearance between the magnetic sensor 71 ″ and the magnetic pole surface 41a ″ is always constant, so that it is possible to eliminate the influence of the applied pressure on the detection accuracy.

  In the third embodiment, the side plates 31A ″ and 31B ″ are made of resin, so that the weight can be reduced. Further, even if the clearance between the side walls 42 ", 42" serving as the second movement guide and the protrusion 51b "of the movement block 51" is large, the sensitivity and accuracy are not affected. The cost may be reduced. Further, since the resin side plates 31A ″ and 31B ″ can be fitted together and fixed with a single screw, the structure is simple and the manufacture is easy.

  In the above third embodiment, instead of the second movement guide in the second embodiment, the side walls 42 ", 42" and the protrusions 51b "are provided. For example, both side plates are formed of metal plates, By this metal drawing process, protrusions projecting inward may be formed on both side plates, and the protrusions may be brought into sliding contact with the side surfaces of the movement block to guide the movement block.

  Even in the slide volume devices of the second and third embodiments described above, the light emission colors of the multicolor LED elements 54 'and 54 "are controlled by the circuit of FIG. 12 or FIG. As in the first embodiment, it is possible to easily confirm the function set in (1).

  FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a main part of a slide volume device of a fourth embodiment as a slide operation device. In the following embodiments, the auxiliary movement guide body 12 is “any one movement guide body”, and the main movement guide body 11 is “the other movement guide body”. Further, the sub guide hole 22 is a “first guide hole”, and the main guide hole 21 is a “second guide hole”. In this slide volume device, a frame 31 ′ as a “main body” is formed by a side plate 31 A ′ that forms a right angle surface on the back side with respect to the panel surface 100 and an upper frame 31 U ′ having a U-shaped cross section. . Note that the mixing console whose panel surface 100 is shown in FIG. 11 corresponds to an “electronic device”. A motor 32 'is attached to one end of the upper frame 31U'. Further, main guide body claws 33 and 33 and sub guide body claws 34 and 34 are erected at both ends of the side plate 31A ′ by bending, and the main moving guide body is interposed between the main guide body claws 33 and 33. 11, the sub moving guide body 12 is attached between the sub guide body claws 34. The main movement guide body 11 and the sub movement guide body 12 constitute a “movement guide portion” composed of two strips parallel to each other along the longitudinal direction of the side plate 31A ′.

  The main moving guide body 11 is a round bar-shaped stainless steel shaft, and the sub-moving guide body 12 is constituted by a round bar-like member in which a magnetic member is insert-molded on a non-magnetic stainless steel shaft, as will be described later. The main moving guide body 11 and the sub moving guide body 12 are attached so that the moving block 2 as a “moving portion” is slidable in the longitudinal direction of the main moving guide body 11 and the sub moving guide body 12. . The moving block 2 is provided with a lever 29 for inserting an operator (not shown). As in the above embodiment, the motor 32 'reciprocates the moving block 2 in order to automatically set the position of the slide operation element of the slide volume device.

  8 is a perspective view of the main part of the moving block 2 (FIG. 8A) and a sectional view of the auxiliary moving guide body 12 (FIG. 8B). FIG. 9 is a partial side view of the moving block 2 and the main moving guide body. 11 is a diagram illustrating the clearance between the auxiliary movement guide body 12 and the auxiliary movement guide body 12. FIG. In FIG. 9, the dimensions of the clearance are exaggerated. The moving block 2 is resin-molded, and is composed of a square-shaped frame 2a and a board mounting portion 2b. The opposing portions 2a1 and 2a1 of the frame 2a of the moving block 2 are arranged on the upper side. Main guide holes 21 and 21 into which the main movement guide body 11 is inserted and sub guide holes 22 and 22 into which the sub movement guide body 12 is inserted are formed on the lower side, respectively. A substrate 24 to which a magnetic sensor 23 as a detection unit is fixed is attached to the substrate attachment portion 2b, and a flat cable 25 is connected to the substrate 24.

  The sub-moving guide body 12 includes a substantially round bar-shaped shaft (main part) 12a formed by deforming nonmagnetic stainless steel and a magnetic member (sub-part) embedded in a groove 12c formed in the longitudinal direction of the shaft 12a. 12b. As shown in FIG. 8B, the depth of the groove 12c is about a quarter of the diameter of the shaft 12a, and the outer peripheral edge portion 12c1 of the groove 12c is rounded. This prevents a gap from being formed between the magnetic member 12b and the shaft 12a due to sink marks or the like after the insert molding of the magnetic member 12b. The shaft 12a is non-magnetic, but the magnetic member 12b is a mixture (kneaded) of PPS resin (polyphenylene sulfide resin) and ferrite particles. The magnetic member 12b is subjected to marking processing by magnetization from the facing surface 12A facing the magnetic sensor 23 of the auxiliary moving guide body 12. That is, magnetic poles are formed on the magnetic member 12b by alternately polarizing N poles and S poles in the longitudinal direction at a period (pitch) of 330 μm, for example. This is a so-called “magnescale (magnetization scale)” similar to the above embodiment. Since the magnetic member 12b is formed by mixing PPS and ferrite resin, it has a high coercive force and is inexpensive.

  The magnetic sensor 23 includes two magnetoresistive elements (MR elements). For example, as shown by a broken line in FIG. 9, the magnetic sensor 23 has a guide body facing portion 23 a at a predetermined distance from the sub guide hole 22. It is provided so as to separate DD. When the moving block 2 moves along the main moving guide body 11 and the sub moving guide body 12, the magnetic sensor 23 detects the magnetic pole of the magnetic member 12b and outputs a signal. Note that the magnetic poles of the magnetic member 12b are composed of two rows having a phase difference, and the detection principle by the magnetic sensor 23 is the same as that in the embodiment by the magnetic sensor 7 and the like.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the cross sections of the main moving guide body 11, the main guide hole 21, and the sub moving guide 12 are perfect circles, but the sub guide holes 22 have cross sections of the main guide hole 21 and the sub guide hole 22. The shape of the ellipse is slightly elongated in the direction of the line L1 connecting the centers of the two. In this embodiment, the direction of the line L1 is referred to as “vertical direction”, and the direction of the line L2 perpendicular to the line L1 is referred to as “horizontal direction”.

  The dimensions in the fourth embodiment are as follows. Both the main moving guide body 11 and the sub moving guide body 12 have a diameter of 4.0 mm, the main guide hole 21 has a diameter of 4.1 mm, and the sub guide hole 22 has a horizontal diameter (short diameter) of 4.1 mm. The diameter (major axis) of the hole 22 in the vertical direction is 4.3 mm.

  That is, the pressurizing direction applied when moving the moving block 2 is the direction of the arrow Q in FIG. 9, and the clearance (D1 + D2) in the pressurizing direction Q between the sub guide hole 22 and the sub moving guide body 12 is more. The clearance in the pressing direction Q between the main guide hole 21 and the main moving guide body 11 (D3 + D4) is larger. Therefore, for example, when the applied pressure is strong, the main moving guide body 11 may bend. However, even if this bending occurs, the edge 22A on the sub guide hole 22 does not contact the magnetic member 12b. Wear of the magnetic member 12b can be prevented.

  Further, since the guide body facing portion 23a of the magnetic sensor 23 is also separated from the edge 22A of the auxiliary guide hole 22 by the distance DD, it does not come into contact with the magnetic member 12b. In this case, however, the magnetic sensor 23 approaches the magnetic member 12b and acts so that the magnetic sensor 23 can detect the magnetic field of the magnetic member 12b. Therefore, if the sensing ability of the magnetic sensor 23 is set to the rated value in a normal state where the main moving guide body 11 is not bent, if the bending occurs, the sensitivity of the magnetic sensor 23 is increased. There is no effect on detection accuracy.

  Further, the clearance relationship described above is such that the clearance (D3 + D4) in the pressing direction Q between the main guide hole 21 and the main moving guide body 11 is the pressing direction between the sub guide hole 22 and the sub moving guide body 12. The clearance is smaller than the clearance (D1 + D2) of Q, and the main guide hole 21 and the main moving guide body 11 eliminate the play in the pressing direction with respect to the moving block 2 and improve the operability of the slide operation. . Further, the clearance (D5 + D6) in the left-right direction L2 between the sub guide hole 22 and the sub movement guide body 12 is the same (may be the same level) as the clearance (D3 + D4) between the main guide hole 21 and the main movement guide body 11. The horizontal shaking (arrow W) of the moving block 2 as shown in FIG. 10 can be prevented. As described above, since the two moving guide portions of the main moving guide body 11 and the sub moving guide body 12 which are parallel to each other are provided, the sliding operation of the moving block 2 is stable, and the magnetic type is based on the applied pressure during the operation. The influence on the sensor detection accuracy of the sensor 23 can be further reduced. In the fourth embodiment, since the guide body facing portion 23a of the magnetic sensor 23 faces downward, the influence of dust or the like on the guide body facing portion 23a can be prevented.

  The reason why the main movement guide body 11 is “main” is to ensure the directionality in the sliding direction, and the reason why the sub movement guide body 12 is “sub” is that the movement block 2 is shaken. It is in prevention. And since these are two strips, for example, there is less contact area with the moving block than when guiding with a guide having a width corresponding to the top and bottom between the two strips, that is, there is less friction and smooth sliding operation is possible. It is possible. In addition, the guide member is lightened, and the entire apparatus is also lightened.

  Here, in the fourth embodiment, the auxiliary movement guide 12 is an example constituted by a stainless steel shaft 12a as a main portion and a magnetic member 12b as a sub portion, but as in the following fifth embodiment. The upper main movement guide 11 may be composed of a stainless steel shaft and a magnetic member as main parts. As an example of this, a cross section is shown in a two-dot chain line blowing portion in FIG. That is, the main moving guide 411 passing through the shaft hole (guide hole) 51a ″ formed in the guide holding portion 5a ″ of the moving block 51 ″ in FIG. 6 is constituted by the stainless steel shaft 411a and the magnetic member 411b. This configuration is the same as that of the shaft 12a and the magnetic member 12b in the fourth embodiment, and the magnetic member 411b is disposed on the lower side, and the magnetic sensor 23 (fourth) is disposed on the opposing surface 411A of the magnetic member 411b. In this case, the gap G1 increases when a pressing force is applied during operation, but the clearance between the main movement guide 411 and the shaft hole 51a ″ is accurately created. The change in the gap G1 can be reduced so as not to affect the detection accuracy. Further, in this fifth embodiment, although not shown, the relationship between the lower side secondary movement guide and the secondary guide hole through which the secondary movement guide passes can be as follows. That is, the auxiliary guide hole is made longitudinally long (a hole whose longitudinal direction is the direction of the line L1 in FIG. 9), and the auxiliary guide hole and the auxiliary movement guide need only have the function of preventing the roll shown in FIG. Can be a design.

  In the fourth and fifth embodiments as well, a light emitting body such as an LED may be provided on the slide operation element in the same manner as in the above embodiment. Even in the slide volume device of the fourth embodiment, the light emission color of the multicolor LED element is controlled by the circuit of FIG. 12 or FIG. 13, and the function set in each slide volume device can be easily confirmed. What can be done is the same as in the first embodiment. That is, the slide volume device constituted by the magnetic sensor 23 of the fourth embodiment, the magnetic member 12b (sub-moving guide body 12), and the circuit that processes the output signal of the magnetic sensor 23 is the volume circuit shown in FIGS. Corresponds to V1. Further, the light emitters such as LEDs used in the fourth embodiment correspond to the multicolor LED element 54 of FIG. 12 or the red LED 54a, green LED 54b, and blue LED 54c of FIG. 13, and the drive current to these LEDs is connected to the substrate 24. Supplied from the flat cable 25. Further, the flat detection 25 in the fourth embodiment is also configured to be pulled out from the same outlet as the lead wire outlet 311 and can be lightly fixed at this outlet, and the moving block 2 moves. However, since the flat cable 25 does not dangle like a cable connected to a normal printer head when viewed from the outside of the side plate, the slide volume device fits in the apparatus better.

  Each of the above embodiments is an example in which a non-contact type is realized by a magnetic method, but may be a non-contact type by an optical method. In this case, for example, the lower surface (surface corresponding to the magnetic surface 43a) of the second moving guide 42 in the example of FIG. 1, and the lower surfaces (magnetic surfaces 41a 'and 41a of the moving guides 41' and 41 "in the examples of FIGS. For example, a black bar code-like pattern with a fixed period is formed in two rows on the “corresponding surface”, and a photo sensor constituted by a light emitting diode and a photodiode is used instead of the magnetic sensors 71, 71 ′, 71 ″ and 23. The pulse signal having the phase difference corresponding to the two rows by the black and white pattern is obtained as a detection signal. In the case of this optical type as well, energization to the multi-color LED elements 54, 54 ', 54 "is performed. Energization of the photo sensor is performed by the flat cables 91, 91 ', 91 ". Also in this case, the second moving guide 42 and the first moving guide 41', 41 by the photo sensor even if pressure is applied. Since sensing itself, it can be kept clearance between the photo sensor and the pattern surface (gap) constant, as well as the detection accuracy and the magnetic is ensured.

  In either case of the magnetic type or the optical type, the contact portion 51e or the guide holding portions 5a, 5a ″ is operated during operation, and in the fourth embodiment, the main guide hole 21 is in the pressurizing direction (arrow Q direction). Acting as a stopper, the position of the moving block 51 in the pressing direction with respect to the second moving guide 42 and the position of the moving blocks 51 ′ and 51 ″ in the pressing direction with respect to the moving guides 41 ′ and 41 ″ are respectively regulated to be constant. As a result, the operational feeling (sliding feeling) is improved, and measures against vertical loads on the entire apparatus are also taken.
