Description

本発明は、少なくとも回転式電子部品の機能と押圧式電子部品の機能とを併せ持つ多機能型電子部品に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a multifunctional electronic component having at least the function of a rotary electronic component and the function of a pressing electronic component.

従来、車載用ナビゲーションシステム、コンピュータ、各種携帯機器、各種ＯＡ機器、ゲーム機などを操作するデバイスとして回転式電子部品や揺動式電子部品や押圧式電子部品などが用いられている。そしてこの種の電子部品の中には、特許文献１の図１に示す多機能型電子部品（１）のように、回転式電子部品の回転つまみ（２０）の中央に押圧式電子部品の押釦つまみ（１０）を設置することで回転式電子部品と押圧式電子部品の機能を併せ持たせ、さらに前記回転つまみ（２０）をその上面から押圧・揺動させて操作させることで揺動式電子部品の機能を併せ持たせた構造のものがある。 Conventionally, rotating electronic components, swinging electronic components, pressing electronic components, and the like have been used as devices for operating in-vehicle navigation systems, computers, various portable devices, various OA devices, game machines, and the like. Among these types of electronic components, like the multifunctional electronic component (1) shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, a push button for the pressing electronic component is provided at the center of the rotary knob (20) of the rotating electronic component. By installing the knob (10), the functions of the rotary electronic component and the pressing electronic component are provided, and the rotary knob (20) is operated by pressing and swinging from the upper surface thereof. There is a structure that combines the functions of parts.

しかしながら上記特許文献１に記載の多機能型電子部品（１）においては以下のような問題点があった。
〔１〕押圧式電子部品の操作性の向上やデザイン上の要求により、中央に設置する押釦つまみ（１０）の外径をより大きくしたい場合がある。そして特許文献１の多機能型電子部品（１）において回転つまみ（２０）の外径寸法を大きくしないで、押釦つまみ（１０）の外径寸法を大きくしようとすると、回転つまみ（２０）の開口部（２２）の内径を大きくする必要があり、これに伴って回転つまみ（２０）の内周突出部（２４）を回転自在に軸支しているケース（４０）の開口（４２）の内径も大きくしなければならないが、そうするとケース（４０）下面の外周近傍に形成したクリック係合部（４７）を設けるスペースがなくなってしまう。言い換えればケース（４０）の下面（内部）にクリック係合部（４７）を設けると、クリック係合部（４７）の寸法分、ケース（４０）の開口（４２）の内径寸法が小さくなり、このことから回転つまみ（２０）およびケース（４０）の外径寸法を拡大しないで押釦つまみ（１０）の外径寸法を大きくすることはできなかった。 However, the multifunctional electronic component (1) described in Patent Document 1 has the following problems.
[1] In some cases, it is desired to increase the outer diameter of the push button knob (10) installed in the center due to improvement in operability of the push-type electronic component and design requirements. In the multi-function electronic component (1) of Patent Document 1, if the outer diameter of the push button knob (10) is increased without increasing the outer diameter of the rotary knob (20), the opening of the rotary knob (20) is opened. The inner diameter of the opening (42) of the case (40) that rotatably supports the inner peripheral protrusion (24) of the rotary knob (20) needs to be increased. However, in this case, there is no space for providing the click engagement portion (47) formed near the outer periphery of the lower surface of the case (40). In other words, when the click engagement portion (47) is provided on the lower surface (inside) of the case (40), the inner diameter dimension of the opening (42) of the case (40) is reduced by the size of the click engagement portion (47). Therefore, the outer diameter of the push button knob (10) could not be increased without increasing the outer diameter of the rotary knob (20) and the case (40).

〔２〕多機能型電子部品（１）の取付台（９０）よりも上部の部分の高さ寸法（厚み）は、主として、回転体（６０）とケース（４０）と回転つまみ（２０）の厚みを加えたものであるが、ケース（４０）にはその下面にクリック係合部（４７）を設けなければならないので、その分ケース（４０）の厚みが厚くなり、多機能型電子部品（１）のさらなる厚みの薄型化が図れなかった。
特開２００７−３３５１９１号公報 [2] The height dimension (thickness) of the upper part of the mounting base (90) of the multifunctional electronic component (1) is mainly that of the rotating body (60), the case (40), and the rotating knob (20). Although the thickness is added, the case (40) must be provided with a click engaging portion (47) on the lower surface thereof, so that the thickness of the case (40) is increased accordingly, and the multi-function electronic component ( It was not possible to reduce the thickness of 1).

At this time, the click plate pressing portion 95 of the rotating body 90 is inserted into the concave click plate setting portion 19 in the shaft support portion 17 of the rotary knob 10 (at this time, the click plate locking portion 21 of the rotary knob 10 is rotated. The tip 90 of the body 90 is inserted / engaged into the engaging portion insertion portion 97 of the body 90 and the attachment portion 31 of the click plate 30 is pressed against the click plate setting portion 19 to fix the click plate 30 to the rotary knob 10. Yes.

次にフレキシブル回路基板１５０の第１回路基板部１５１をその下面（摺接パターン１６１を設けた側の面）を上向きとした状態で取付台１３０の上面に載置し、その際その開口部１５７に取付台１３０の筒状突出部１３１を挿通する。このとき取付台１３０の各ケース係止部１４５と第１回路基板部１５１の各挿通部１５９の位置を一致させておく。そして第１回路基板部１５１を設置した取付台１３０を前記ケース７０の下側に設置する。このとき回転体９０の開口部９１内に筒状突出部１３１を挿入し、同時に押釦つまみ５０の押圧部５３をその回り止め係合部５７を回り止め１３５に係合させながら開口部１３３内に挿入し、押圧部５３の下端を取付台１３０の下面側に突出させる。同時にケース７０の各第１回路基板部係止部８１を第１回路基板部１５１の各挿通部１５９と取付台１３０の各ケース係止部１４５とに挿通し、同時に取付台１３０の各取付固定部１３９にケース７０の各係止部８０を挿入し、各係止部８０の先端を取付台１３０の下面で熱かしめし、これによってケース７０の各取付部７７と取付台１３０の各ケース取付部１３７間を取り付けて固定する。このとき回転体９０に取り付けた摺動子１１０の接点部１１７は第１回路基板部１５１上の摺接パターン１６１に弾接している。 Next, the first circuit board portion 151 of the flexible circuit board 150 is placed on the upper surface of the mounting base 130 with its lower surface (the surface on which the sliding contact pattern 161 is provided) facing upward, and at that time, the opening 157 thereof. The cylindrical protrusion 131 of the mounting base 130 is inserted through. At this time, the positions of the case locking portions 145 of the mounting base 130 and the insertion portions 159 of the first circuit board portion 151 are matched. Then, the mounting base 130 on which the first circuit board portion 151 is installed is installed below the case 70. At this time, the cylindrical protruding portion 131 is inserted into the opening 91 of the rotating body 90, and at the same time, the pressing portion 53 of the push button knob 50 is engaged with the anti-rotation engaging portion 57 with the anti-rotation 135 while entering the opening 133. The lower end of the pressing portion 53 is protruded to the lower surface side of the mounting base 130. At the same time, the first circuit board portion locking portions 81 of the case 70 are inserted into the insertion portions 159 of the first circuit board portion 151 and the case locking portions 145 of the mounting base 130, respectively. Each locking portion 80 of the case 70 is inserted into the portion 139, and the tip of each locking portion 80 is heat caulked on the lower surface of the mounting base 130, whereby each mounting portion 77 of the case 70 and each case mounting of the mounting base 130 are attached. The parts 137 are attached and fixed. At this time, the contact portion 117 of the slider 110 attached to the rotating body 90 is in elastic contact with the sliding contact pattern 161 on the first circuit board portion 151.

次に前記フレキシブル回路基板１５０の連結部１５５の部分を下方に折り返すことで、第２回路基板部１５３を取付台１３０の下側に配置し、さらに第２回路基板部１５３の下面側に第２回路基板部１５３と重なるように支持部材１７０を設置する。このとき支持部材１７０の各係合片取付部１７３を第２回路基板部１５３の貫通挿通部１６９または第２回路基板部１５３の外周辺の外側を通して第２回路基板部１５３の上面側に突出させ、同時にこれら各係合片取付部１７３に設けた係合片挿入部１７５内に取付台１３０の各係合片１４１をスナップイン係合によって挿入して取り付ける。このとき取付台１３０の各押圧部１４３はそれぞれ各押圧スイッチ１６５の反転板１６５ａ上に当接し、この状態で各係止片１４１が各係合片挿入部１７５の内周上辺に当接することで、取付台１３０が支持部材１７０によって揺動自在に支持された状態となる。同時に押釦つまみ５０の押圧部５３の下端面も中央スイッチ１６３の反転板１６３ａ上に当接する。またこのとき図３，図８に示すように、前記熱かしめしたケース７０の係止部８０の下部は、支持部材１７０の挿通部１７７の部分に露出している。以上により図１に示す多機能型電子部品１が完成する。なお上記組立手順はその一例であり、他の各種異なる組立手順を用いて組み立てても良いことはいうまでもない。たとえば前記ケース７０の係止部８０先端の熱かしめは、ケース７０の下面に取付台１３０を設置したときではなく、さらに取付台１３０の下面側に第２回路基板部１５３と支持部材１７０を設置した後に、前記第２回路基板部１５３の挿通部１６７と支持部材１７０の挿通部１７７の部分に露出している係止部８０の先端に対して行ってもよい。 Next, the second circuit board part 153 is disposed below the mounting base 130 by folding back the connecting part 155 of the flexible circuit board 150, and the second circuit board part 153 is further moved to the lower surface side of the second circuit board part 153. The support member 170 is installed so as to overlap the circuit board unit 153. At this time, each engagement piece mounting portion 173 of the support member 170 is protruded to the upper surface side of the second circuit board portion 153 through the penetration insertion portion 169 of the second circuit board portion 153 or the outer periphery of the second circuit board portion 153. At the same time, the respective engagement pieces 141 of the mounting base 130 are inserted into the engagement piece insertion portions 175 provided in the respective engagement piece attachment portions 173 by snap-in engagement and attached. At this time, each pressing portion 143 of the mounting base 130 abuts on the reversing plate 165a of each pressing switch 165, and in this state, each locking piece 141 abuts on the inner peripheral upper side of each engaging piece insertion portion 175. Thus, the mounting base 130 is supported by the support member 170 in a swingable manner. At the same time, the lower end surface of the pressing portion 53 of the push button knob 50 also comes into contact with the reverse plate 163 a of the central switch 163. Further, at this time, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the lower portion of the locking portion 80 of the heat-caulked case 70 is exposed to the insertion portion 177 of the support member 170. Thus, the multifunctional electronic component 1 shown in FIG. 1 is completed. The above assembling procedure is an example, and it goes without saying that the assembly may be performed using other various assembling procedures. For example, the heat caulking at the tip of the locking portion 80 of the case 70 is not performed when the mounting base 130 is installed on the lower surface of the case 70, but the second circuit board portion 153 and the support member 170 are further installed on the lower surface side of the mounting base 130. After that, the end of the locking portion 80 exposed at the insertion portion 167 of the second circuit board portion 153 and the insertion portion 177 of the support member 170 may be performed.

ところでこの多機能型電子部品１のようにケース７０と取付台１３０間の取り付けを、ケース７０の外周から半径方向外方に突出する取付部７７と、この取付部７７に対向する位置に設けた取付台１３０のケース取付部１３７との間で行ったのは、以下の理由による。すなわちたとえば特許文献１の図１に示す従来の構造の多機能型電子部品（１）の場合は、クリック機構がケース（４０）の内部に収納されているので、ケース（４０）と取付台（９０）間を固定するためにケース（４０）の外周側壁（４３）の下端辺から突出する取付台固定部（４５）（特許文献１の図２参照）の先端を取付台（９０）に貫通させてその下面で熱かしめする方法をとっており、この場合は回転つまみ（２０）の上面を受け面として取付台（９０）の下面で前記取付台固定部（４５）先端を押しつぶして熱かしめしている。しかしながら本発明にかかる多機能型電子部品１の場合は、図１に示すように回転つまみ１０の下面とケース７０の上面の外周縁近傍部分との間にクリック機構を設置しているので、回転つまみ１０とケース７０の間に空隙があり、このため特許文献１のように外周側壁７６下部において取付台１３０との取り付けを行うために回転つまみ１０の上面を受け面とすると、熱かしめ時にケース７０がぐらつきやすくなり、安定した熱かしめができなくなる恐れがある。そこで本発明にかかる多機能型電子部品１においては上述のように、ケース７０と取付台１３０間の取り付けを、図８に示すようにケース７０の外周から半径方向外方に突出する取付部７７と、この取付部７７に対向する位置に設けた取付台１３０のケース取付部１３７との間で行うこととし（この実施形態の場合は取付部７７の上面が受け面になる）、これによって取付台１３０とケース７０間の取り付けを、クリック機構によって阻害されることなく、容易且つ確実に行うこととしたのである。 By the way, the mounting between the case 70 and the mounting base 130 is provided at a position facing the mounting portion 77 and a mounting portion 77 protruding outward in the radial direction from the outer periphery of the case 70 as in the multifunctional electronic component 1. The reason for carrying out between the case mounting portion 137 of the mounting base 130 is as follows. That is, for example, in the case of the multifunctional electronic component (1) having the conventional structure shown in FIG. 1 of Patent Document 1, since the click mechanism is housed inside the case (40), the case (40) and the mounting base ( 90) The tip of the mounting base fixing portion (45) (see FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1) protruding from the lower end side of the outer peripheral side wall (43) of the case (40) is passed through the mounting base (90) in order to fix the gap between them. In this case, heat is applied by crushing the tip of the mounting base fixing portion (45) with the lower surface of the mounting base (90) as the receiving surface of the rotary knob (20). It is tightening. However, in the case of the multi-function electronic component 1 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the click mechanism is installed between the lower surface of the rotary knob 10 and the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge of the upper surface of the case 70. If there is a gap between the knob 10 and the case 70, and the upper surface of the rotary knob 10 is used as a receiving surface for attaching to the mounting base 130 at the lower part of the outer peripheral side wall 76 as in Patent Document 1, the case will be used during heat caulking. 70 tends to wobble and there is a risk that stable heat caulking cannot be performed. Therefore, in the multi-function electronic component 1 according to the present invention, as described above, the mounting between the case 70 and the mounting base 130 is performed by a mounting portion 77 that protrudes radially outward from the outer periphery of the case 70 as shown in FIG. And the case mounting portion 137 of the mounting base 130 provided at a position opposite to the mounting portion 77 (in this embodiment, the upper surface of the mounting portion 77 serves as a receiving surface). The mounting between the base 130 and the case 70 is easily and reliably performed without being obstructed by the click mechanism.

次に多機能型電子部品１の動作を説明する。まず回転つまみ１０を回転すると、これと一体にクリック板３０及び回転体９０及び摺動子１１０が回転し、これによってクリック板３０のクリック弾接部３７がケース７０のクリック係合部７９に弾接係合してクリック感触が生じるとともに、摺動子１１０の接点部１１７が第１回路基板部１５１の摺接パターン１６１上を摺動して摺接パターン１６１の電気的出力が変化する。なおクリック板３０のクリック弾接部３７がクリック係合部７９の凸の部分に乗り上げた際、そのクリック弾接部３７及びその両側のアーム部３５は弾接部挿入部２５に入り込む。 Next, the operation of the multifunctional electronic component 1 will be described. First, when the rotary knob 10 is rotated, the click plate 30, the rotating body 90, and the slider 110 are rotated integrally therewith, whereby the click elastic contact portion 37 of the click plate 30 is elastically applied to the click engagement portion 79 of the case 70. A click feeling is produced by contact engagement, and the contact portion 117 of the slider 110 slides on the sliding contact pattern 161 of the first circuit board portion 151, and the electrical output of the sliding contact pattern 161 changes. When the click elastic contact portion 37 of the click plate 30 rides on the convex portion of the click engaging portion 79, the click elastic contact portion 37 and the arm portions 35 on both sides thereof enter the elastic contact portion insertion portion 25.

一方押釦つまみ５０の本体部５１の上面を押圧すると、押釦つまみ５０が下降してその押圧部５３が中央スイッチ１６３の反転板１６３ａを押圧して反転させ、これによって中央スイッチ１６３がオンする。押釦つまみ５０への押圧を解除すれば、反転板１６３ａは元の形状に自動復帰し、押釦つまみ５０は押し上げられ、中央スイッチ１６３はオフする。一方回転つまみ１０の本体部１１上面の、前記取付台１３０の何れかの押圧部１４３に対応する部分を下方向に押圧すると、取付台１３０上に設置している各構成部品（ケース７０や回転体９０や回転つまみ１０など）が取付台１３０と一体に押圧された方向に傾いて揺動し、下降した側の押圧部１４３がこれに対向する押圧スイッチ１６５の反転板１６５ａを押圧して反転させてその押圧スイッチ１６５がオンする。前記回転つまみ１０への押圧を解除すれば、反転板１６５ａの自動復帰力によって取付台１３０上の回転つまみ１０を含む各構成部品が一体に元の位置に自動復帰し、押圧スイッチ１６５はオフする。 On the other hand, when the upper surface of the main body 51 of the pushbutton knob 50 is pressed, the pushbutton knob 50 is lowered and the pressing portion 53 presses the reverse plate 163a of the central switch 163 to invert it, thereby turning on the central switch 163. When the push on the push button knob 50 is released, the reverse plate 163a automatically returns to its original shape, the push button knob 50 is pushed up, and the central switch 163 is turned off. On the other hand, when a portion of the upper surface of the main body 11 of the rotary knob 10 corresponding to any one of the pressing portions 143 of the mounting base 130 is pressed downward, each component (case 70 and rotation) installed on the mounting base 130 is pressed. The body 90, the rotary knob 10 and the like) incline and swing in the direction of being pressed together with the mounting base 130, and the pressing portion 143 on the lowered side presses the reversing plate 165a of the pressing switch 165 facing it, and reverses. Then, the push switch 165 is turned on. When the pressing of the rotary knob 10 is released, the components including the rotary knob 10 on the mounting base 130 are automatically returned to their original positions by the automatic return force of the reversing plate 165a, and the press switch 165 is turned off. .
