Description

  The present invention relates to an electric component having a self-return function in which a rotation operation can be converted into a linear motion of a slider and an electric signal can be taken out and an operation member automatically returns to an initial position, and in particular, a rotation operation and a push operation. The present invention relates to a composite operation type electric component that can be selectively operated.

  A rotary operation type electrical component that can extract the electrical signal by converting the rotational movement of the operation member into the slide movement of the slider can rotate the operation member relatively large even if the slider slide movement amount is small. Therefore, there is an advantage that a small size and high-precision operation can be performed. In addition, if the operation member is equipped with a self-return function that automatically returns to the initial position after the operation, the operation member is always set to the initial position at the start of operation, so it is not necessary to check the setting state of the operation member It is convenient to operate.

Thus, as a conventional example of an electrical component that can convert the rotational operation into a linear motion of the slider and has a self-return function, a lever integrated with the operation knob is pivotally supported by a flange portion of the housing, and the lower end of the lever bulges And slidably engage the recess of the slider, which is housed in the housing so as to be slidable, and the arms of the torsion coil spring having the winding portion attached to the lever are hooked on the housing. The thing of a structure is known (for example, refer patent document 1). In such a conventional example, a substrate is installed in the housing along the direction of movement of the slider, and a movable contact (slider) held by the slider is provided on the surface of the substrate on which the fixed contact is disposed. It is in sliding contact. The lever is always elastically biased by the torsion coil spring. When the user rotates the operation knob in one direction against the biasing force, the lower end bulge of the lever rotates in the same direction to drive the slider. For this reason, the slider moves linearly along the substrate so that the movable contact comes in contact with and is separated from the fixed contact. Further, when the user removes the rotational operation force with respect to the operation knob, the lever in the rotational posture is pushed back to the initial position by the elastic force of both arms of the torsion coil spring that has been pushed and bent.

  By the way, in an electrical component that converts a rotary operation into a linear motion of a slider and takes out an electrical signal, it is convenient that a push operation can be performed in addition to the rotary operation because it can be multi-functional. However, as in the conventional example described above, in an electrical component in which a lever integral with the operation knob is pivotally supported by the housing and the operation knob and the lever cannot be moved in directions other than the rotation direction, they are orthogonal to the rotation axis. The push operation function of pushing the operation member in the direction could not be added.

  The present invention has been made in view of the actual situation of the prior art as described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a composite operation type electrical component that can perform a push operation in addition to a rotation operation that slides a slider.

  In order to achieve the above object, the composite operation type electrical component of the present invention has a housing, a slider slidably accommodated inside the housing, and a knob portion protruding outward of the housing. The operation member supported by the housing in a state where the forward / backward movement operation for increasing / decreasing the protruding amount of the knob portion and the rotation operation for swinging the knob portion are possible, and the rotational movement of the operation member is slidably moved by the slider. A link mechanism for converting to a torsion coil spring, a torsion coil spring for returning the operation member to an initial position, and a first signal generating means provided in the housing and capable of outputting an electrical signal corresponding to the slide position of the slider; Second signal generating means provided in the housing and capable of outputting an electrical signal corresponding to the forward / backward movement position of the operating member. A first restricting portion for restricting forward / backward movement of the operating member during operation; and a second restricting portion for restricting the rotational operation of the operating member during push operation; and the torsion coil The spring is provided with a winding portion attached to the operation member and a pair of arm portions extending from both ends of the winding portion, and both the arm portions are in the non-rotating operation of the operation member. The arm portion is elastically contacted with the housing, and one of the arm portions is urged by the operation member when the operation member is rotated, and is separated from the housing.

  In the composite operation type electrical component configured as described above, when the operation member is rotated, the slider slides, so that the electric signal can be taken out from the first signal generating means, and when the operation member is moved forward and backward, the first operation is performed. The electric signal can be taken out from the two signal generating means. Then, one arm of the torsion coil spring rotates together with the operating member during the rotation operation and is detached from the housing, so that both arms of the torsion coil spring are elastically deformed in the closing direction, and the torsion coil spring is wound during the push operation. Since the part moves backward together with the operation member, both arms held by the housing are elastically deformed in the closing direction. Therefore, when the rotational operation force or the push operation force is removed, the operation member automatically returns to the initial position by the elastic force of both arms of the torsion coil spring, and the self-return function for different operations is provided by one torsion coil. It can be easily realized with a spring. Even in this initial position, since the operating member is kept elastically biased by the torsion coil spring, it is possible to stably hold the operating member that can rotate and move forward and backward relative to the housing. In addition, since the housing is provided with the first and second restricting portions, there is no possibility that the operating member moves forward and backward by mistake during a rotating operation, or the operating member rotates by mistake during a push operation.

  In the above configuration, the operation member is provided with a bearing recess, and a support shaft that is slidably inserted into the bearing recess is protruded inside the housing, and the push operation is performed in the bearing recess. A clearance space is sometimes formed for retracting the support shaft, and when the operation member is not operated, the operation member is rotated about the support shaft pressed against the peripheral wall of the bearing recess by the elastic force of the torsion coil spring. When the operation is performed, the operation member can be supported so that it can be rotated and moved back and forth without rattling, and the height of the entire electrical component along the protruding direction of the support shaft is reduced. Is easier to plan.

  In the above configuration, as the link mechanism, a concave portion is provided on one of the operation member and the slider, and a convex portion that is slidably engaged with the concave portion is provided on the other, and the concave portion If the relief space for retracting the convex portion during the push operation is formed, the rotation operation of the operation member can be smoothly converted into the slide movement of the slider, and the simple structure does not hinder the push operation. A link mechanism can be realized.

  In the above configuration, the resistance pattern and the current collection pattern are disposed as the first signal generating means in a region substantially orthogonal to the rotation plane of the operation member on the inner wall surface of the housing. When a conductive slider that can slide with respect to the pattern is held by the slider, it operates as a variable resistor that outputs different electrical signals depending on the amount and direction of rotation of the operating member. Can do.

  In the above configuration, the contact pattern is disposed as the second signal generating means in a region substantially parallel to the rotation plane of the operation member on the inner wall surface of the housing. When a conductive slider that can be contacted and separated is held by the operation member, the switch is turned on / off by the slider moving toward and away from the contact pattern as the operation member moves forward and backward. It can be operated.

  In the composite operation type electric component of the present invention, when the operation member is rotated, the slider slides and an electric signal is output from the first signal generating means. When the operation member is pushed, the second signal generating means outputs the electric signal. A signal is output, and when the rotational operation force or push operation force is removed, the operation member can be automatically returned to the initial position by the elastic force of the torsion coil spring. Even in this initial position, since the operating member is kept elastically biased by the torsion coil spring, it is possible to stably hold the operating member that can rotate and move forward and backward relative to the housing. In addition, since the housing is provided with the first and second restricting portions, there is no possibility that the operating member moves forward and backward by mistake during a rotating operation, or the operating member rotates by mistake during a push operation.

The operation member 7 and the slider 8 are each electrically conductive. The children 10 and 11 are attached.

  The housing 1 will be described. The case 2 is an insert-molded product in which conductive metal plates 12 to 16 are embedded, and the cover 3 is made of sheet metal. A support shaft 17 projects from the inner bottom surface 2b of the case 2, and a guide rail 18 that projects across the inner bottom surface 2b is formed linearly. A contact pattern 4 is disposed in the vicinity of the support shaft 17 on the inner bottom surface 2 b of the case 2. The contact pattern 4 includes a common contact 4 a formed at one end of the conductive metal plate 12 and a pair of fixed contacts 4 b formed at one end of the conductive metal plate 13. FIG. 6 shows the positions of elastic pieces 10a and 10b described later when not operated. The common contact 4a has a step for causing a click feeling. The other end portions of the conductive metal plates 12 and 13 are exposed on the outer surface of the case 2 as external connection terminals 19 and 20, respectively. In this case 2, the front wall portion, the pair of side wall portions, and the back wall portion stand up with respect to the inner bottom surface 2b, and the engaging convex portion 7d of the operation member 7 slides on the front wall portion during the push operation. A guide recess 2c that can be inserted is provided, and a pair of inclined walls 2d that restrict the position of the engaging projection 7d during a rotation operation are provided. A pair of spring receiving portions 2e that can be hooked by elastically contacting both end portions of the torsion coil spring 9 are provided on the side wall portion of the case 2. Conductive metal plates 14 to 16 are embedded in the back wall portion of the case 2, and the resistance pattern 5 and the current collection pattern 6 are disposed on the printed pattern forming surface 2 f that is the inner wall surface of the back wall portion. Yes. Both patterns 5 and 6 are printed on a flat surface of a flat molded product formed by inserting conductive metal plates 14 to 16, and the flat plate is formed when a portion other than the back wall portion of the case 2 is formed. The case 2 in which the back wall portion and the remaining portion are integrated is obtained by inserting the molded product into the mold.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the resistance pattern 5 and the current collection pattern 6 are printed and formed on the printed pattern forming surface 2f of the case 2 as a belt-like pattern having substantially the same size and arranged in a straight line at a predetermined interval. Has been. Both ends of the resistance pattern 5 are connected to the conductive metal plates 14 and 15, and part of the conductive metal plates 14 and 15 are exposed as external connection terminals 21 and 22 on the outer surface of the case 2. The current collection pattern 6 is connected to the conductive metal plate 16, and a part of the conductive metal plate 16 is exposed as an external connection terminal 23 on the outer surface of the case 2. The composite operation type electrical component according to this embodiment is used by being surface-mounted on a wiring board (not shown). At this time, the external connection terminals 19 to 23 exposed on the outer surface of the case 2 are used. Is soldered to the land of the wiring board.

  The operation member 7 is made of a synthetic resin, and is provided on the housing 1 so that a forward / backward movement operation for increasing or decreasing the protrusion amount of the knob portion 7a protruding outward of the housing 1 and a rotation operation for swinging the knob portion 7a can be performed. It is supported. The operation member 7 is provided with a bearing recess 7 b on the side facing the inner bottom surface 2 b of the case 2 inside the housing 1 and a spring mounting portion 7 c on the side facing the cover 3. Further, the engaging convex portion 7d is provided between the knob portion 7a of the operation member 7 and the bearing recess 7b. The bearing recess 7b has a U-shaped peripheral wall, and the support shaft 17 of the case 2 is slidably fitted in the bearing recess 7b. The spring mounting portion 7c is formed in a columnar shape, and the winding portion 9a of the torsion coil spring 9 is fitted on the spring mounting portion 7c. Since this torsion coil spring 9 is incorporated with both ends elastically contacting the spring receiving portion 2e of the case 2, the winding portion 9a elastically biases the spring mounting portion 7c of the operating member 7 by the reaction force. It has become. Therefore, when not operated, as shown in FIG. 1, the support shaft 17 of the case 2 is pressed against the peripheral wall of the bearing recess 7 b by the elastic force of the torsion coil spring 9, and the operation member 7 is locked to the support shaft 17. It is held in a stable posture. The operation member 7 can be rotated about the support shaft 17 as a rotation center, and the rotation plane thereof is a plane parallel to the inner bottom surface 2b of the case 2 and orthogonal to the print pattern forming surface 2f. Further, the operation member 7 can be pushed into the housing 1 against the urging force of the torsion coil spring 9, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the support shaft 17 is retracted during the push operation. A relief space S1 is formed in the bearing recess 7b. Further, the operation member 7 is provided with a pair of spring engaging portions 7e that protrude to the side and engage with the pair of arm portions 9b of the torsion coil spring 9, respectively. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, during the rotation operation, one spring engaging portion 7e maintains an engaged state with one arm portion 9b of the torsion coil spring 9, and the other spring engaging portion 7e is in the other arm. It is designed to be separated from the portion 9b. Further, a driving convex portion 7f having a tip portion formed in an arc shape in plan view protrudes from an end portion of the operation member 7 opposite to the knob portion 7a side. The drive convex portion 7f is slidably inserted into the engagement concave portion 8a of the slider 8, and is connected so that the slider 8 slides with the rotation of the operation member 7. A link mechanism having a simple structure that converts rotational motion into linear motion is realized by 7f and the engaging recess 8a.

  The torsion coil spring 9 has arm portions 9b extending from both ends of a winding portion 9a attached to the spring attachment portion 7c of the operation member 7, and is elastically deformed in a direction in which both arm portions 9b are closed. An elastic force is generated to return 7 to the initial position. When the operation member 7 is not rotating, the torsion coil spring 9 has its both arm portions 9b hooked to the spring receiving portion 2e of the case 2 in an elastic contact state. Further, when the operation member 7 is rotating, one arm portion 9 b is detached from the spring receiving portion 2 e of the case 2 and is engaged with the spring engaging portion 7 e of the operation member 7.

  The slider 10 is for detecting a push operation, and is made of a conductive thin metal plate. As shown in FIG. 5, the slider 10 is caulked and fixed to the surface of the operating member 7 on the bearing recess 7b side. The elastic piece 10a is always elastically contacted with the common contact 4a, and is fixed to the fixed contact 4b during a push operation. And an elastic piece 10b that contacts and separates.

  The slider 8 is made of synthetic resin, and is housed in the inner space of the housing 1 near the print pattern forming surface 2 f so as to be slidable while being guided by the guide rail 18. The slider 8 is provided with an engagement recess 8a into which the drive projection 7f of the operation member 7 is slidably inserted, and a guide groove 8b into which the guide rail 18 is slidably inserted. The longitudinal direction of the rail 18 (longitudinal direction of the resistance pattern 5) is the sliding movement direction of the slider 8. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, a clearance space S <b> 2 is formed in the engagement recess 8 a for retracting the drive protrusion 7 f during a push operation. A slider 11 is attached to the slider 8 on the surface facing the print pattern forming surface 2f. As the slider 8 slides, the curved elastic pieces 11a and 11b of the slider 11 have resistance patterns 5 respectively. And slide with respect to the current collecting pattern 6.

  The slider 11 is made of a conductive thin metal plate, and has a flat plate portion 11c and a pair of curved elastic pieces 11a and 11b as shown in FIGS. The flat plate portion 11c is caulked and fixed to the slider 8 so as to oppose the print pattern forming surface 2f with a predetermined interval, and a pair of curved elastic pieces are substantially symmetrical from the flat plate portion 11c toward the print pattern forming surface 2f. 11a and 11b are extended in the direction away from each other. Since one curved elastic piece 11a is elastically contacted with the resistance pattern 5 and the other curved elastic piece 11b is elastically contacted with the current collecting pattern 6, when the slider 8 slides, the curved elastic piece 11a with respect to the resistance pattern 5 The contact position changes so that the resistance value between the external connection terminals 21 and 23 and the resistance value between the external connection terminals 22 and 23 change.

  Next, the operation at the time of the push operation and the operation at the time of the rotation operation of the composite operation type electrical component configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the operation member 7 is elastically biased upward by the torsion coil spring 9 and is locked to the support shaft 17 of the case 2 when not operated. In this state, when the user performs a push operation of pushing the operating member 7 into the housing 1 through the knob portion 7a, the operating member 7 moves back into the housing 1 against the biasing force of the torsion coil spring 9. As shown in FIG. 3, both arms 9 b of the torsion coil spring 9 are elastically deformed in the closing direction, and the engaging projection 7 d of the operating member 7 is slidably inserted into the guide recess 2 c of the case 2. Is done. Since the engagement convex portion 7d thus inserted into the guide recess 2c is regulated by the wall surface of the guide recess 2c, the operation member 7 can be smoothly moved back and forth with respect to the housing 1, and There is no risk of accidentally rotating the operating member 7 during the push operation. Further, at the time of the push operation, the support shaft 17 is relatively retracted to the clearance space S1 in the bearing recess 7b, and the driving convex portion 7f is retracted to the clearance space S2 in the engagement concave portion 8a. As the operating member 7 is retracted into the housing 1 during the push operation, the elastic piece 10b of the slider 10 contacts the fixed contact 4b. Therefore, the common contact 4a and the fixed contact 4b are connected via the slider 10. And the switch-on signal is output. Since the elastic piece 10a of the slider 10 gets over the step of the common contact 4a immediately before the switch is turned on, a click feeling is generated. When the operating force is removed after the push operation, the torsion coil spring 9 that has been pushed and bent returns to the position shown in FIG. 1 by its own elasticity, so that the operation member 7 automatically returns to the initial position.

  When the user rotates the operation member 7 via the knob portion 7a in the non-operating state, as shown in FIG. 4, the spring engagement portion 7e of the operation member 7 that rotates about the support shaft 17 is one side. In order to bias the arm portion 9b, the arm portion 9b is detached from the spring receiving portion 2e of the case 2 and elastically deformed so that both the arm portions 9b are closed. Further, since the engaging projection 7d of the operation member 7 overlaps with the inclined wall 2d adjacent to the guide recess 2c, the position of the operation member 7 is regulated by the inclined wall 2d so that the operation member 7 can be smoothly rotated with respect to the housing 1. In addition, there is no possibility that the operation member 7 is moved forward and backward by mistake during the rotation operation. Then, as the operating member 7 rotates, the driving convex portion 7f drives and slides the slider 8, so that the contact position of the curved elastic piece 11a with respect to the resistance pattern 5 changes, and the rotation operation amount of the operating member 7 changes. In addition, an electrical signal corresponding to the rotation operation direction is output. Further, when the operation force is removed after the rotation operation, the torsion coil spring 9 which has been pushed and bent returns to the position shown in FIG. 1 by its own elasticity, so that the operation member 7 automatically returns to the initial position.

  As described above, the composite operation type electrical component according to the present embodiment is small in size because the slider 8 slides and the slider 11 slides on the resistance pattern 5 when the operation member 7 is rotated. However, it can be operated as a variable resistor capable of high-precision operation. Further, when the operation member 7 is pushed, the slider 10 comes into contact with the fixed contact 4b, so that it can be operated as a switch. During rotation operation, one arm portion 9b of the torsion coil spring 9 rotates together with the operation member 7 and is detached from the housing 1, so that both arm portions 9b of the torsion coil spring 9 are elastically deformed in the closing direction, and during push operation. Since the winding portion 9a of the torsion coil spring 9 moves backward together with the operation member 7, both arms 9b of the torsion coil spring 9 latched on the spring receiving portion 2e are elastically deformed in the closing direction. Therefore, when the rotational operation force and the push operation force are removed, the operation member 7 is automatically returned to the initial position by the elastic force of both arms 9b of the torsion coil spring 9, and one self-return function for different operations is provided. The torsion coil spring 9 can easily be realized. In addition, the case 2 of the housing 1 is provided with a guide recess 2c (second restricting portion) and an inclined wall 2d (first restricting portion) for restricting the position of the engaging protrusion 7d of the operation member 7. Therefore, there is no possibility that the operation member 7 moves forward and backward by mistake during the rotation operation, or the operation member 7 rotates by mistake during the push operation.

  Further, in the composite operation type electrical component according to this embodiment, the support shaft 17 of the case 2 is fitted into the bearing recess 7b of the operation member 7, and the bearing recess 7b is caused by the elastic force of the torsion coil spring 19 when not operated. Since the peripheral wall is pressed against the support shaft 17, the operation member 7 can be rotated or moved forward and backward without rattling, and the height dimension of the entire electrical component along the protruding direction of the support shaft 17 is suppressed. Thinning is easy to achieve. However, a configuration may be adopted in which a convex portion projecting from the operation member 7 is fitted into a concave portion carved in the inner bottom surface 2 b of the case 2. Similarly, the concavo-convex relationship between the driving convex portion 7f of the operating member 7 and the engaging concave portion 8a of the slider 8 can be reversed.

  In the above embodiment, the contact pattern 4 is disposed on the inner bottom surface 2b of the case 2 and the resistance pattern 5 and the current collecting pattern 6 are disposed on the printed pattern forming surface 2f on the back wall. In the case of a composite operation type electrical component that operates as a switch not only during operation but also during rotation operation, another contact pattern that can be brought into and out of contact with the slider held by the slider 8 is arranged on the inner bottom surface 2b of the case 2. You may make it the structure of installing.
