Description

この発明は携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造に関する。   The present invention relates to a holding structure for a switch operating rubber key of a portable electronic device.

従来の携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造の例を図７に示す。図に示す樹脂パネル１は穴１ａと穴１ａの周囲に内部方向に延びる円筒形状部１ｂを備えている。 樹脂パネル１の内部で樹脂パネル１に対して固定されるプリント基板２はスイッチ作動用ゴムキー７を樹脂パネル１との間でスイッチ作動用ゴムキー７を挾持して保持する。すなわち、プリント基板２はスイッチ作動用ゴムキー７の円筒状の固定部７ｃの下面を押し、樹脂パネル１の円筒形状部１ｂは円筒状の固定部７ｃの上面に設けられた円形の溝７ｄに嵌まり込んで固定部７ｃを下に押す。   An example of a holding structure for a switch operating rubber key of a conventional portable electronic device is shown in FIG. The resin panel 1 shown in the figure includes a hole 1a and a cylindrical portion 1b extending in the inner direction around the hole 1a. The printed circuit board 2 fixed to the resin panel 1 inside the resin panel 1 holds the switch operation rubber key 7 between the resin panel 1 and the switch operation rubber key 7. That is, the printed circuit board 2 presses the lower surface of the cylindrical fixing portion 7c of the switch operating rubber key 7, and the cylindrical portion 1b of the resin panel 1 is fitted into a circular groove 7d provided on the upper surface of the cylindrical fixing portion 7c. It gets stuck and pushes the fixing part 7c downward.

この円筒形状部１ｂはスカート形状のヒンジ７ｂを介在した状態で棒状の作動杆７ａと一体となっており、作動杆７ａの上部を穴１ａから突出させ、また、作動杆７ａの下端をプリント基板２に実装されたタクトスイッチ３の作動部と近接または軽く接触する状態に保持している。作動杆７ａの上部を押し込むと、ヒンジ７ｂが変形して作動杆７ａが下動しタクトスイッチ３を作動させる。   This cylindrical portion 1b is integrated with a rod-shaped operating rod 7a with a skirt-shaped hinge 7b interposed, the upper portion of the operating rod 7a projects from the hole 1a, and the lower end of the operating rod 7a is the printed circuit board. 2 is held close to or lightly in contact with the actuating portion of the tact switch 3 mounted in 2. When the upper part of the operating rod 7a is pushed in, the hinge 7b is deformed and the operating rod 7a is moved downward to operate the tact switch 3.

上記したスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造では防水機能を得るために、樹脂パネル１の円筒形状部１ｂをスイッチ作動用ゴムキー７の固定部７ｃ上面の溝７ｄに押し込み固定部７ｃを下方向に加圧している。このため樹脂パネル１やプリント基板２が反ったりして円筒形状部１ｂのつぶし量が均一とならず、防水レベルをＩＰ−＊５レベル（ＪＩＳ保護等級５級）程度にしかできなかった。また、作動杆７ａの下部がガイドされていないため、作動杆７ａを偏って押したりすると、図８に示すように作動杆７ａが傾きタクトスイッチ３を押せないことがあった。   In order to obtain a waterproof function in the holding structure of the switch operating rubber key, the cylindrical portion 1b of the resin panel 1 is pushed into the groove 7d on the upper surface of the fixing portion 7c of the switch operating rubber key 7, and the fixing portion 7c is pressed downward. ing. For this reason, the resin panel 1 and the printed circuit board 2 are warped and the crushing amount of the cylindrical portion 1b is not uniform, and the waterproof level can only be about IP- * 5 level (JIS protection grade 5). In addition, since the lower portion of the operating rod 7a is not guided, when the operating rod 7a is biased and pushed, the operating rod 7a may not be able to press the tilt tact switch 3 as shown in FIG.

図９に示す携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造の他の例では、プリント基板２に導体パターン２ａ、２ａが近接して配置されており、その上方に作動杆７ａの下面に形成された導体膜７ｅが位置している。他の構成は図７で説明したものと同様であり、図７で示す対応する部材には同じ符号を付してある。この例では、作動杆７ａを押すことにより導体パターン２ａ、２ａが導体膜７ｅにより導通される。   In another example of the switch operation rubber key holding structure of the portable electronic device shown in FIG. 9, the conductor patterns 2a and 2a are disposed close to the printed circuit board 2 and formed on the lower surface of the operating rod 7a above the conductive patterns 2a and 2a. The conductive film 7e is located. Other configurations are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 7, and the corresponding members shown in FIG. In this example, the conductor pattern 2a, 2a is conducted by the conductor film 7e by pushing the operating rod 7a.

この例でも、樹脂パネル１やプリント基板２が反ったりして円筒形状部１ｂのつぶし量が均一とならず、防水レベルをＩＰ−＊５レベル程度にしかできなかった。また、作動杆７ａの下部がガイドされていないため、作動杆７ａを偏って押したりすると、図１０に示すように作動杆７ａが傾き導体パターン２ａ、２ａを導通させることができないことがあった。   Also in this example, the resin panel 1 and the printed board 2 were warped, and the crushing amount of the cylindrical portion 1b was not uniform, and the waterproof level could only be about IP- * 5 level. In addition, since the lower portion of the operating rod 7a is not guided, when the operating rod 7a is biased and pushed, the operating rod 7a may not be able to conduct the inclined conductor patterns 2a and 2a as shown in FIG. .

特開２００６−１３０９６号公報に開示された電子機器ケースの防水構造では、ケース（パネル）に設けられた円筒形状リブの先端がエラストマー部材（スイッチ作動用ゴムキーの固定部）の傾斜面に圧接される。この構造では円筒形状リブの先端がエラストマー部材を押す力は水平方向と垂直方向の分力を有し、エラストマー部材をケースとプリンと基板とで圧縮する圧縮力は小さくなるが、やはり、エラストマー部材をケースとプリンと基板とで押すため、ケースやプリンと基板が反り図７や図８で説明した従来の例と同様の問題があった。また、作動杆の下部がガイドされていないため、作動杆を偏って押したりすると、図１０に示すように、作動杆が傾きタクトスイッチ等を押せないことがあった。
特開２００６−１３０９６号公報、段落００２７〜段落００４７、図１〜図７ In the waterproof structure for an electronic device case disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-13096, the tip of a cylindrical rib provided on the case (panel) is pressed against the inclined surface of the elastomer member (fixing portion of the switch operation rubber key). The In this structure, the force with which the tip of the cylindrical rib pushes the elastomer member has horizontal and vertical component forces, and the compression force that compresses the elastomer member between the case, the pudding, and the substrate is small. Since the case, the pudding, and the substrate are pressed, the case, the pudding, and the substrate are warped, and there is a problem similar to the conventional example described with reference to FIGS. In addition, since the lower part of the operating rod is not guided, when the operating rod is pushed biased, the operating rod may not be able to press the tilt tact switch or the like as shown in FIG.
Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2006-13096, paragraphs 0027 to 0047, FIGS. 1 to 7

この発明は上記した点に鑑みてなされたものであって、その目的とするところは、防水レベル高くすることができる携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a holding structure for a rubber key for operating a switch of a portable electronic device that can have a high waterproof level.

以下この発明を実施するための最良の形態を実施例に即して説明する。   The best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described below with reference to examples.

図１はこの発明の実施例１である携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造を示す断面図、図２は同携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造を図１における下方から見た部分斜視図である。   1 is a cross-sectional view showing a holding structure for a switch operating rubber key of a portable electronic device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the holding structure for a switch operating rubber key of the portable electronic device shown in FIG. It is a fragmentary perspective view.

図１または図２に示すように、樹脂パネル１は穴１ａと穴１ａの周囲に内部方向に延びる円筒形状部１ｂを備えている。樹脂パネル１のボス１ｃ、１ｃのねじ穴にねじ込まれるねじ４、４により樹脂パネル１に締着されるガイド部５はスイッチ作動用ゴムキー６の固定部６ｃを樹脂パネル１との間で挾持してスイッチ作動用ゴムキー６を保持する。   As shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the resin panel 1 includes a hole 1a and a cylindrical portion 1b extending in the inner direction around the hole 1a. The guide portion 5 fastened to the resin panel 1 by screws 4 and 4 screwed into the screw holes of the bosses 1c and 1c of the resin panel 1 holds the fixing portion 6c of the switch operating rubber key 6 with the resin panel 1. Holding the rubber key 6 for operating the switch.

スイッチ作動用ゴムキー６は作動杆６ａがヒンジ６ｂを介して固定部６ｃと一体に形成され、固定部６ｃの外周部には円筒形状部６ｄが形成されている。円筒形状部６ｄの外周面にはリブ６ｅがリング状に形成されている。スイッチ作動用ゴムキー６が上記のように保持された状態でリブ６ｅが樹脂パネル１の円筒形状部１ｂの内周面に圧接されて防水機能が得られる。   The switch operating rubber key 6 has an operating rod 6a formed integrally with a fixed portion 6c via a hinge 6b, and a cylindrical portion 6d is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the fixed portion 6c. A rib 6e is formed in a ring shape on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 6d. With the switch operating rubber key 6 held as described above, the rib 6e is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 1b of the resin panel 1 to obtain a waterproof function.

そして、スイッチ作動用ゴムキー６の作動杆６ａの上部は樹脂パネル１の穴１ａから突出し、作動杆６ａの下部はガイド部５の穴５ａを挿通しその下端がプリント基板２に実装されたタクトスイッチ３の作動部と近接している。作動杆６ａの上部を押し込むと、ヒンジ７ｂが変形して作動杆６ａが下動しタクトスイッチ３を作動させる。   The upper part of the operating rod 6a of the switch operating rubber key 6 protrudes from the hole 1a of the resin panel 1, and the lower part of the operating rod 6a is inserted into the hole 5a of the guide portion 5 and its lower end is mounted on the printed circuit board 2. 3 working parts are close to each other. When the upper part of the operating rod 6a is pushed in, the hinge 7b is deformed and the operating rod 6a is moved downward to operate the tact switch 3.

上記したスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造では防水機能を得るために、樹脂パネル１とプリント基板２とでスイッチ作動用ゴムキー６を強く押すことがないので、樹脂パネル１やプリント基板２が反ってリブ６ｅのつぶし量が不均一となることがなく、ＩＰ−＊７レベル（ＪＩＳ保護等級７級）程度の防水機能が得られた。また、作動杆６ａの下部がガイドされているため、作動杆６ａを偏って押したりしても、作動杆６ａが傾くことがなく、確実にタクトスイッチ３を作動させることができる。   In order to obtain a waterproof function, the switch operation rubber key holding structure described above does not force the switch operation rubber key 6 between the resin panel 1 and the printed circuit board 2, so that the resin panel 1 or the printed circuit board 2 is warped and ribbed. The crushing amount of 6e was not uneven, and a waterproof function of IP- * 7 level (JIS protection class 7) was obtained. Further, since the lower portion of the operating rod 6a is guided, even if the operating rod 6a is biased and pushed, the operating rod 6a does not tilt and the tact switch 3 can be operated reliably.

図３はこの発明の実施例２である携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造を示す断面図である。この例では、樹脂パネル１に形成され先端にフックを有する樹脂ばね１ｄ、１ｄがガイド部５の穴に入り込むようにガイド部５を押し込むことによりガイド部５が樹脂パネル１に固定される。他の構成は実施例１と同様であり、実施例１と同様の機能を有する部材に同一の符号を付して詳細な説明を省略する。この例ではガイド部５を押し込むだけでガイド部５が樹脂パネル１に固定されるので組み立て工数が削減される。そして実施例１と同様の効果が得られる。   3 is a cross-sectional view showing a holding structure for a switch operating rubber key of a portable electronic device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. In this example, the guide part 5 is fixed to the resin panel 1 by pushing the guide part 5 so that the resin springs 1 d and 1 d formed on the resin panel 1 and having hooks at the tips enter the holes of the guide part 5. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and members having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted. In this example, since the guide part 5 is fixed to the resin panel 1 only by pushing in the guide part 5, the number of assembling steps is reduced. And the same effect as Example 1 is acquired.

図４はこの発明の実施例３である携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造を示す断面図である。この例では、樹脂パネル１の円筒形状部１ｂにガイド部５が超音波溶着で固定される。他の構成は実施例１と同様であり、実施例１と同様の機能を有する部材に同一の符号を付して詳細な説明を省略する。この例ではガイド部５超音波溶着で固定されるので組み立て工数が削減される。そして実施例１と同様の効果が得られる。   4 is a cross-sectional view showing a holding structure for a switch operating rubber key of a portable electronic device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. In this example, the guide part 5 is fixed to the cylindrical part 1b of the resin panel 1 by ultrasonic welding. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and members having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted. In this example, since the guide portion 5 is fixed by ultrasonic welding, the number of assembling steps is reduced. And the same effect as Example 1 is acquired.

図５はこの発明の実施例４である携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造を示す断面図である。この例では、樹脂パネル１の円筒形状部１ｂにガイド部５がボンド８で固定される。他の構成は実施例１と同様であり、実施例１と同様の機能を有する部材に同一の符号を付して詳細な説明を省略する。この例ではガイド部５をねじで固定する必要がないので組み立て工数が削減される。そして実施例１と同様の効果が得られる。   FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a holding structure for a switch operating rubber key of a portable electronic device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. In this example, the guide portion 5 is fixed to the cylindrical portion 1 b of the resin panel 1 with a bond 8. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and members having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted. In this example, since it is not necessary to fix the guide part 5 with a screw, the number of assembling steps is reduced. And the same effect as Example 1 is acquired.

図６はこの発明の実施例５である携帯電子機器のスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの保持構造を示す断面図である。この例では、スイッチ作動用ゴムキー６の円筒形状部６ｄの内側にリング状の空間が設けられており、この空間に樹脂パネル１の円筒形状部１ｂが圧入される。   6 is a cross-sectional view showing a holding structure for a switch operating rubber key of a portable electronic device according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention. In this example, a ring-shaped space is provided inside the cylindrical portion 6d of the switch operating rubber key 6, and the cylindrical portion 1b of the resin panel 1 is press-fitted into this space.

そして、円筒形状部６ｄの内面に設けられたリブ６ｅが樹脂パネル１の円筒形状部１ｂの外周面に圧接される。他の構成は実施例１と同様であり、実施例１と同様の機能を有する部材に同一の符号を付して詳細な説明を省略する。   The rib 6e provided on the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 6d is pressed against the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 1b of the resin panel 1. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment, and members having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof is omitted.

この例では樹脂パネル１の円筒形状部１ｂの厚さとスイッチ作動用ゴムキー６の円筒形状部６ｄの内側のリング状の空間間隔の寸法との差でリブ６ｅのつぶし量が決まるが、小さい寸法の差であるためリブ６ｅのつぶし量のばらつきが小さくなり、スイッチ作動用ゴムキー６の硬度および寸法を適切に設定することにより、防水性能をより高めることができる。   In this example, the crushing amount of the rib 6e is determined by the difference between the thickness of the cylindrical portion 1b of the resin panel 1 and the size of the ring-shaped space interval inside the cylindrical portion 6d of the switch operating rubber key 6. Because of the difference, the variation in the crushing amount of the rib 6e is reduced, and the waterproof performance can be further improved by appropriately setting the hardness and dimensions of the switch operating rubber key 6.

実施例は以上のように構成されているが発明はこれに限られず、例えば、タクトスイッチを用いることなく、プリント基板に設けた導体パターンをスイッチ作動用ゴムキーの作動杆に設けた導体膜で導通させるようにしてもよい。   The embodiment is configured as described above, but the invention is not limited to this. For example, without using a tact switch, the conductor pattern provided on the printed circuit board is electrically connected by the conductor film provided on the operating key of the switch operating rubber key. You may make it make it.
