Description

本発明は、例えばオーディオ機器等の電気機器に用いられる押ボタン装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a push button device used in an electric device such as an audio device.

オーディオ機器等の電気機器のパネルには諸操作をするための押ボタン装置が用いられることがある。このような押ボタン装置として、特許文献１に示すように、ＬＥＤ(Light Emitting Diode)等の光が漏洩することを防止するために押ボタンの周りに囲み部材である光遮蔽部材を設けたものがある。この光遮蔽部材により、光の漏洩を防止することにより、押ボタンの視認性、操作性、デザイン性等を保持することができる。   A push button device for performing various operations may be used on a panel of an electric device such as an audio device. As such a push button device, as shown in Patent Document 1, a light shielding member that is a surrounding member is provided around the push button in order to prevent light such as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) from leaking. There is. By preventing the light leakage by this light shielding member, the visibility, operability, design and the like of the push button can be maintained.

また、光遮蔽部材は、複数の押ボタンが連結されている場合には、隣接する押ボタン間に配置されることにより、隣接する押ボタンへの光の漏洩を防止するとともに、押ボタン間の連動を防止する連動防止部材の役割も果たす。   In addition, when a plurality of push buttons are connected, the light shielding member is disposed between the adjacent push buttons to prevent light from leaking to the adjacent push buttons and between the push buttons. It also serves as an interlock prevention member that prevents interlocking.

このような光遮蔽防止部材(兼連動防止部材)を有する押ボタン装置の一例を図５に示す。なお、図５においては、一方のパネル１０３の開口部１０３ａについては省略している。この押ボタン装置１００では、複数の押ボタン１０１が光遮蔽防止部材１０２を介して連結されている。押ボタン１０１は、弾性を有するヒンジ１０１ａを介して基板１０４側へと押圧される。押ボタン１０１が指で押圧されることにより、基板１０４に設けられた図示しないタクトスイッチを押圧して、タクトスイッチが閉じられる。   An example of a push button device having such a light shielding preventing member (also serving as an interlocking preventing member) is shown in FIG. In FIG. 5, the opening 103a of one panel 103 is omitted. In this push button device 100, a plurality of push buttons 101 are connected via a light shielding prevention member 102. The push button 101 is pressed toward the substrate 104 through an elastic hinge 101a. When the push button 101 is pressed with a finger, a tact switch (not shown) provided on the substrate 104 is pressed to close the tact switch.

光遮蔽防止部材１０２は、それぞれの押ボタン１０１を三方から囲むコ字状の板状部材が連続した部材である。光遮蔽防止部材１０２は、押ボタン１０１の上方側(天板側)が開口されている。光遮蔽防止部材１０２の上方が開口されているのは、他部材の設置や押ボタン１０１の構造等による制約のためである。   The light shielding prevention member 102 is a member in which a U-shaped plate-like member surrounding each push button 101 from three sides is continuous. The light shielding preventing member 102 is opened on the upper side (top plate side) of the push button 101. The reason why the upper part of the light shielding prevention member 102 is opened is because of restrictions due to the installation of other members, the structure of the push button 101, and the like.

各押ボタン１０１の操作表示側部分が、パネル１０３の開口部１０３ａから突出するように配置され、光遮蔽防止部材１０２が、パネル１０３と基板１０４との間に挟持されることにより、押ボタン装置１００は電気機器に組み付けられる。
特開２００２−２７９８５９号公報 The operation display side portion of each push button 101 is disposed so as to protrude from the opening 103 a of the panel 103, and the light shielding preventing member 102 is sandwiched between the panel 103 and the substrate 104, thereby pushing the push button device. 100 is assembled to an electrical device.
JP 2002-279859 A

しかしながら、図５に示した押ボタン装置１００では、リブ部材である光遮蔽防止部材１０２が成形時に変形したり、組み付け後に傾いたりした場合に、押ボタン１０１が押圧されると光遮蔽防止部材１０２と擦れて異音が発生してしまう場合があった。   However, in the pushbutton device 100 shown in FIG. 5, when the light shielding prevention member 102 which is a rib member is deformed at the time of molding or is tilted after assembly, the light shielding prevention member 102 is pressed. There was a case where abnormal noise was generated by rubbing.

また、光遮蔽防止部材(兼連動防止部材)１０２がうまく機能せずに、近接する押ボタン１０１が連動してしまったり、隣接する押ボタン１０１への光漏れが生じてしまったりする場合があった。さらに、光遮蔽防止部材１０２の変形を抑制することができないために、パネル１０３の開口部１０３ａから突出する押ボタン１０１の操作表示側部分が傾いてしまい、押ボタン１０１が操作しづらくなる場合があった。   In addition, the light shielding prevention member (also serving as an interlocking prevention member) 102 does not function well, so that the adjacent push buttons 101 may be interlocked or light leakage to the adjacent push buttons 101 may occur. It was. Further, since the deformation of the light shielding preventing member 102 cannot be suppressed, the operation display side portion of the push button 101 protruding from the opening 103a of the panel 103 is inclined, and the push button 101 may be difficult to operate. there were.

本発明は、上記実情に鑑みてなされたもので、押ボタンが押圧される際に囲み部材と擦れて異音が発生することを防止することができ、また、囲み部材本来の機能を発揮することができる押ボタン装置を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and can prevent the generation of noise due to rubbing against the surrounding member when the push button is pressed, and also exhibits the original function of the surrounding member.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

［第１の実施の形態］
本発明の第１の実施の形態に係る押ボタン装置１０は、図１に示すように、電気機器のパネル２０の背面側に配置される。押ボタン装置１０は、複数の押ボタン１１と、それぞれの押ボタン１１を三方から囲む連続した囲み部材１２と、基板１３と、押ボタン１１により押圧可能なタクトスイッチ１４とを備えている。 [First Embodiment]
As shown in FIG. 1, the push button device 10 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is arranged on the back side of the panel 20 of the electrical device. The push button device 10 includes a plurality of push buttons 11, a continuous surrounding member 12 surrounding each push button 11 from three sides, a substrate 13, and a tact switch 14 that can be pressed by the push button 11.

押ボタン１１は、押圧されることによって、電気機器に所定の操作を行わせるためのものである。それぞれの押ボタン１１は、一体的に形成され、押圧部１１ａと、押ボタン１１の破壊防止のためのストッパー１１ｂと、ヒンジ１１ｃとから構成されている。   The push button 11 is for causing the electric device to perform a predetermined operation when pressed. Each push button 11 is integrally formed, and includes a pressing portion 11a, a stopper 11b for preventing the push button 11 from being broken, and a hinge 11c.

押圧部１１ａには、オペレータに指で押圧される表面に操作の説明記号等が印字されており、裏面には２つのストッパー１１ｂが形成されている。ヒンジ１１ｃは、押ボタン１１を弾性的に支持する一対の弾性部材から構成されている。ヒンジ１１ｃにより弾性支持により押ボタン１１は押圧されることや、もとの状態に戻ることが可能となっている。   On the pressing portion 11a, operation explanation symbols and the like are printed on the surface pressed by the operator with a finger, and two stoppers 11b are formed on the back surface. The hinge 11c is composed of a pair of elastic members that elastically support the push button 11. The push button 11 can be pressed or returned to its original state by elastic support by the hinge 11c.

囲み部材１２は、押ボタン１１と一体的に形成されており、また、連続して形成されている。囲み部材１２は、隣接する押ボタン１１へＬＥＤ等の光が漏洩することを防止する光遮蔽部材であるとともに、隣接する押ボタン１１間に配置されることにより押ボタン１１間の連動を防止する連動防止部材である。   The surrounding member 12 is formed integrally with the push button 11 and is formed continuously. The surrounding member 12 is a light shielding member for preventing light such as LED from leaking to the adjacent push buttons 11, and prevents the interlocking between the push buttons 11 by being disposed between the adjacent push buttons 11. Interlocking prevention member.

囲み部材１２は、押ボタン１１の上方側が開口されており、側板１２ａ，１２ａと底板１２ｂとから構成されている。囲み部材１２が開口されているのは、他部材の設置や押ボタン１１の構造等による制約のためである。側板１２ａ，１２ａには、押ボタン１１の上方側、かつ、基板１３側に凸部１２１ａ，１２１ａが形成されている。なお、底板１２ｂにはヒンジ１１ｃが立設されている。   The surrounding member 12 is opened on the upper side of the push button 11 and is composed of side plates 12a and 12a and a bottom plate 12b. The reason why the surrounding member 12 is opened is because of limitations due to the installation of other members, the structure of the push button 11, and the like. On the side plates 12a and 12a, convex portions 121a and 121a are formed on the upper side of the push button 11 and on the substrate 13 side. A hinge 11c is erected on the bottom plate 12b.

基板１３には、複数のタクトスイッチ１４が設けられている。タクトスイッチ１４は、押ボタン１１の裏面により押圧可能な位置に設けられている。また、基板１３には操作対象に接続されたハーネス等が接続されている。   A plurality of tact switches 14 are provided on the substrate 13. The tact switch 14 is provided at a position where it can be pressed by the back surface of the push button 11. In addition, a harness or the like connected to the operation target is connected to the substrate 13.

基板１３には、囲み部材１２の凸部１２１ａ，１２１ａを嵌合させるための嵌合溝１３ａが端縁から切り欠き状に形成されている。囲み部材１２の凸部１２１ａ，１２１ａを基板１３の嵌合溝１３ａに嵌合することにより、囲み部材１２の幅Ｌ(一対の側板１２ａ，１２ａ間の間隔)が規制される。   A fitting groove 13 a for fitting the convex portions 121 a and 121 a of the surrounding member 12 is formed in the substrate 13 in a cutout shape from the edge. By fitting the convex portions 121a and 121a of the enclosing member 12 into the fitting groove 13a of the substrate 13, the width L (interval between the pair of side plates 12a and 12a) of the enclosing member 12 is regulated.

押ボタン装置１０をパネル２０の裏面に組み付けるには、囲み部材１２の凸部１２１ａ，１２１ａを嵌合溝１３ａに嵌合させるとともに、押ボタン１１の押圧部１１ａの表面側の操作表示部分をパネル２０の開口部２０ａから突出させて、囲み部材１２をパネル２０の裏面と基板１３との間に挟持させる。なお、図１においては、わかりやすくするために２つの押ボタン１１のうち一方についてのみ開口部２０ａを表しており、他方の押ボタン１１の開口部については省略している。   In order to assemble the push button device 10 on the back surface of the panel 20, the convex portions 121a and 121a of the surrounding member 12 are fitted into the fitting groove 13a, and the operation display portion on the front surface side of the push portion 11a of the push button 11 is placed on the panel. The surrounding member 12 is sandwiched between the back surface of the panel 20 and the substrate 13 so as to protrude from the opening 20a. In FIG. 1, for the sake of clarity, only one of the two push buttons 11 is represented by the opening 20 a, and the other push button 11 is omitted.

このように本実施の形態の押ボタン装置１０では、囲み部材１２の凸部１２１ａ，１２１ａを基板１３の凹部である嵌合溝１３ａに嵌合させて、一対の側板１２ａ，１２ａを基板１３に取り付けるようにしたので、囲み部材１２の幅Ｌが一定に保たれ、規制される。よって、囲み部材１２の成型時に変形やソリ等が生じていたり、囲み部材１２が組立後にストレスを受けて変形、ソリ等を生じても、一対の側板１２ａ，１２ａ間の間隔である囲み部材１２の幅Ｌは一定に保たれる。   As described above, in the pushbutton device 10 of the present embodiment, the convex portions 121a and 121a of the surrounding member 12 are fitted into the fitting grooves 13a that are the concave portions of the substrate 13, and the pair of side plates 12a and 12a are attached to the substrate 13. Since it is attached, the width L of the enclosing member 12 is kept constant and regulated. Therefore, even when deformation or warping occurs during molding of the surrounding member 12, or even when the surrounding member 12 is subjected to stress after assembly and undergoes deformation, warping or the like, the surrounding member 12 is the distance between the pair of side plates 12a and 12a. The width L is kept constant.
