Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a switch apparatus improved in rotational operability even if provided with a coil spring, and enabling smooth rotation in a rotational operation member and a pressing operation member. <P>SOLUTION: A slide member 38 is disposed on the inner surface of a head 23 in the pressing operation member 17 positioned at the outer end of the coil spring 37 and slides the coil spring 37 in the rotational direction when the rotational operation member 18 is rotated. Even if the pressing operation member 17 rotated together with the rotational operation member 18 is biased by a spring force from the coil spring 37 in a direction for pushing the pressing operation member from the rotational operation member 18, the rotational operation member 18 can be smoothly rotated together with the pressing operation member 17 since the coil spring 37 is slid in the rotational direction when the rotational operation member 18 is rotatably operated. Even if the device is provided with the coil spring 37, the rotational operability is improved, so that the rotational operation member 18 and the pressing operation member 17 can be smoothly rotated. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

この発明は、電子腕時計などの電子時計に用いられるスイッチ装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a switch device used in an electronic timepiece such as an electronic wristwatch.

従来、電子腕時計においては、特許文献1に記載されているように、時刻を修正する際に、巻真を所定位置に引き出して回転させることにより、指針を運針させるスイッチ装置を備えた構成のものが知られている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as described in Patent Document 1, an electronic wristwatch includes a switch device that moves a pointer by pulling a winding stem to a predetermined position and rotating it when correcting the time. It has been known.

実開昭50−4765号公報Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 50-4765

この種のスイッチ装置は、腕時計ケースにその内部と外部とに貫通して設けられたガイドパイプ内に巻真をスライドおよび回転可能な状態で取り付け、この巻真の外端部に押圧操作部を一体的に設けると共に、この押圧操作部の外周に竜頭である円筒形状の回転操作部材をスライド可能で且つ回転可能に取り付けた構成になっている。   This type of switch device has a winding stem that is slidably mounted in a guide pipe that is provided in a wristwatch case so as to penetrate the inside and outside of the watch case, and a pressing operation portion is provided at the outer end of the winding stem. In addition to being provided integrally, a cylindrical rotation operation member, which is a crown, is slidably and rotatably mounted on the outer periphery of the pressing operation portion.

このようなスイッチ装置では、回転操作部材が押し込まれた通常運針状態で、押圧操作部が回転操作部材から外部に露出し、この露出した押圧操作部を押圧することにより、スイッチを動作させることができ、また時刻を修正する際に、回転操作部材を引き出すと、押圧操作部が回転操作部材内に沈み込み、この状態で回転操作部材を回転させることにより、指針を運針させることができる。   In such a switch device, in a normal hand movement state in which the rotation operation member is pushed in, the pressing operation unit is exposed to the outside from the rotation operation member, and the switch can be operated by pressing the exposed pressing operation unit. In addition, when the rotation operation member is pulled out when correcting the time, the pressing operation portion sinks into the rotation operation member, and the pointer can be moved by rotating the rotation operation member in this state.

しかしながら、このような従来のスイッチスイッチ装置では、回転操作部材が押し込まれた通常運針状態で、押圧操作部を押圧操作することができても、回転操作部材を引き出した際に、押圧操作部が回転操作部材の引出し操作に連動してスライドしないため、押圧操作部が回転操作部材内に沈み込んでしまい、スイッチ装置として、違和感が生じ、デザイン的に好ましくないという問題がある。   However, in such a conventional switch device, even if the pressing operation unit can be pressed in the normal hand movement state in which the rotation operating member is pushed in, the pressing operation unit does not move when the rotation operating member is pulled out. Since the sliding operation member does not slide in conjunction with the drawing operation of the rotation operation member, the pressing operation portion sinks into the rotation operation member, and there is a problem that the switch device is uncomfortable and is not preferable in design.

そこで、このような問題を解消するために、回転操作部材を引き出した際に、押圧操作部を回転操作部材の引出し操作に連動してスライドさせることにより、押圧操作部が回転操作部材内に沈み込まないようにしたスイッチ装置が開発されている。このようなスイッチ装置は、回転操作部材の引出し操作に応じて押圧操作部を回転操作部材と共に移動させるためのコイルばねを備えた構成になっている。   Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, when the rotation operation member is pulled out, the pressing operation unit sinks in the rotation operation member by sliding the pressing operation unit in conjunction with the drawing operation of the rotation operation member. A switch device has been developed that does not include the switch. Such a switch device has a configuration including a coil spring for moving the pressing operation portion together with the rotation operation member in accordance with the drawing operation of the rotation operation member.

すなわち、このスイッチ装置では、押圧操作部を巻真から切り離した状態で巻真と連動可能に連結すると共に、押圧操作部の外端部である頭部に回転操作部材からの抜け出しを阻止するためのストッパ部を設け、この押圧操作部の頭部の内面と腕時計ケース側に位置するガイドパイプの外端面との間にコイルばねを配置し、このコイルばねのばね力によって押圧操作部に安定した押圧荷重を付与して、押圧操作部が回転操作部材内に沈み込まないように構成されている。   That is, in this switch device, the pressing operation unit is connected to the winding stem in a state of being separated from the winding stem, and at the same time, the head part that is the outer end portion of the pressing operation unit is prevented from coming out of the rotary operation member. The coil spring is disposed between the inner surface of the head of the pressing operation portion and the outer end surface of the guide pipe located on the side of the watch case, and the pressing operation portion is stabilized by the spring force of the coil spring. A pressing load is applied so that the pressing operation portion does not sink into the rotation operation member.

しかしながら、このような構成のスイッチ装置では、押圧操作部の頭部の内面とガイドパイプの外端面との間にコイルばねを配置し、このコイルばねによって押圧操作部に安定した押圧荷重を付与して、押圧操作部が回転操作部材内に沈み込まないようにしているため、コイルばねの両端部が当接する押圧操作部の頭部の内面およびガイドパイプの外端面とにおける各当接面の摩擦抵抗が大きいと、回転操作部材を押圧操作部と共に回転させた際に、コイルばねのばね力によって回転操作部材および押圧操作部が円滑に回転しないという問題が生じる。   However, in such a switch device, a coil spring is disposed between the inner surface of the head of the pressing operation portion and the outer end surface of the guide pipe, and a stable pressing load is applied to the pressing operation portion by the coil spring. In addition, since the pressing operation unit is prevented from sinking into the rotation operation member, the friction between the contact surfaces of the inner surface of the head of the pressing operation unit and the outer end surface of the guide pipe with which both end portions of the coil spring abut. When the resistance is large, there is a problem that when the rotation operation member is rotated together with the pressing operation unit, the rotation operation member and the pressing operation unit are not smoothly rotated by the spring force of the coil spring.

この発明が解決しようとする課題は、コイルばねを備えていても、回転操作性が良く、回転操作部材および押圧操作部材を円滑に回転させることができるスイッチ装置を提供することである。   The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a switch device that has a good rotating operability and can smoothly rotate the rotating operation member and the pressing operation member even if a coil spring is provided.

An internal thread portion 33 is provided.

また、この回転操作部材18の貫通孔30内には、図2に示すように、連動パイプ34が嵌め込まれている。この連動パイプ34は、回転操作部材18の回転を押圧操作部材17に伝達するためのものであり、回転操作部材18の貫通孔30内に固定されている。この連動パイプ34の内周面には、図6(a)および図6(b)に示すように、凹凸部34aが設けられている。これに伴って、押圧操作部材17の頭部23には、図3(b)に示すように、連動パイプ34の凹凸部34aに係合する凹凸部36aが設けられている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, an interlocking pipe 34 is fitted in the through hole 30 of the rotation operation member 18. The interlocking pipe 34 is for transmitting the rotation of the rotation operation member 18 to the pressing operation member 17 and is fixed in the through hole 30 of the rotation operation member 18. On the inner peripheral surface of the interlocking pipe 34, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), an uneven portion 34a is provided. Accordingly, the head portion 23 of the pressing operation member 17 is provided with an uneven portion 36a that engages with the uneven portion 34a of the interlocking pipe 34, as shown in FIG.

すなわち、押圧操作部材17の頭部23は、図2および図3に示すように、回転操作部材18の抜止め鍔部31内に挿入して外部に露出する操作部35と、抜止め鍔部31の内壁面に当接するストッパ部36とを有している。このストッパ部36は、その外周部に設けられた凹凸部36aが連動パイプ34の凹凸部34aに係合することにより、連動パイプ34内に軸方向に沿ってスライドすると共に、連動パイプ34と一体的に回転するように構成されている。   That is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the head portion 23 of the pressing operation member 17 is inserted into the retaining collar portion 31 of the rotation manipulation member 18 and exposed to the outside, and the retaining collar portion. And a stopper portion 36 that abuts against the inner wall surface of 31. The stopper portion 36 slides along the axial direction into the interlocking pipe 34 by engaging the unevenness portion 36a provided on the outer peripheral portion thereof with the unevenness portion 34a of the interlocking pipe 34, and is integrated with the interlocking pipe 34. It is constituted so that it may rotate.

これにより、押圧操作部材17は、図2に示すように、回転操作部材18の外部に露出した頭部23の操作部35が押圧操作されると、ストッパ部36の凹凸部36aが連動パイプ34の凹凸部34aに係合した状態で、連動パイプ34内を軸方向に沿ってスライドするように構成されている。また、この押圧操作部材17は、回転操作部材18の回転操作に伴って連動パイプ34が回転すると、この連動パイプ34の凹凸部34aにストッパ部36の凹凸部36aが係合していることにより、空転することなく、連動パイプ34と共に一体的に回転するように構成されている。   Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, when the operation portion 35 of the head 23 exposed to the outside of the rotation operation member 18 is pressed, the pressing operation member 17 causes the concavo-convex portion 36 a of the stopper portion 36 to move to the interlocking pipe 34. It is configured to slide in the interlocking pipe 34 along the axial direction while being engaged with the concavo-convex portion 34a. In addition, when the interlocking pipe 34 rotates in accordance with the rotation operation of the rotation operation member 18, the pressing operation member 17 is engaged with the uneven portion 34 a of the interlock pipe 34 by engaging the uneven portion 36 a of the stopper portion 36. It is configured to rotate together with the interlocking pipe 34 without idling.

また、この押圧操作部材17は、図2に示すように、コイルばね37によって回転操作部材18の貫通孔30における外端部側(図2では右側)の開口に向けて付勢されている。すなわち、このコイルばね37は、腕時計ケース1の外部に突出した押圧操作部材17の軸部22の外周に配置された状態で、押圧操作部材17の頭部23とガイドパイプ20との間に配置されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the pressing operation member 17 is urged toward the opening on the outer end side (right side in FIG. 2) in the through hole 30 of the rotation operation member 18 by a coil spring 37. That is, the coil spring 37 is disposed between the head 23 of the pressing operation member 17 and the guide pipe 20 in a state where the coil spring 37 is disposed on the outer periphery of the shaft portion 22 of the pressing operation member 17 protruding outside the watch case 1. Has been.

この場合、コイルばね37は、その内端部(図2では左端部)がガイドパイプ20の大径部内に挿入されてガイドパイプ20の大径部と中間径部との段差部に弾接し、外端部(図2では左端部)が押圧操作部材17の頭部23の内面に滑り部材38を介して弾接するように構成されている。この滑り部材38は、図2および図7に示すように、円板状のワッシャーであり、フッ素系、ポリエチレン系などの表面摩擦抵抗が小さい滑り性を有する合成樹脂によって形成されている。   In this case, the coil spring 37 has its inner end portion (left end portion in FIG. 2) inserted into the large diameter portion of the guide pipe 20 to elastically contact the stepped portion between the large diameter portion and the intermediate diameter portion of the guide pipe 20, The outer end portion (left end portion in FIG. 2) is configured to elastically contact the inner surface of the head portion 23 of the pressing operation member 17 via the sliding member 38. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, the sliding member 38 is a disk-shaped washer, and is formed of a synthetic resin having a sliding property such as a fluorine-based or polyethylene-based surface friction resistance.

これにより、押圧操作部材17は、図2に示すように、回転操作部材18の回転操作に伴って連動パイプ34が回転する際に、コイルばね37のばね力によって押圧操作部材17の頭部23が腕時計ケース1の外部側(図2では右側)に向けて付勢されていても、コイルばね37の外端部(図2では右端部)が滑り部材38に弾接した状態で、回転方向に沿って滑ることにより、連動パイプ34と共に円滑に回転するように構成されている。   Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, when the interlocking pipe 34 rotates in accordance with the rotation operation of the rotation operation member 18, the pressing operation member 17 has the head 23 of the pressing operation member 17 by the spring force of the coil spring 37. Is urged toward the outside of the wristwatch case 1 (right side in FIG. 2), but the outer end (right end in FIG. 2) of the coil spring 37 is in elastic contact with the sliding member 38, and the rotational direction It is configured to smoothly rotate together with the interlocking pipe 34 by sliding along.

ところで、巻真16は、図2に示すように、時計モジュール4のハウジング5内に配置された箇所の内部側(図2では左側)に磁石40が設けられ、この磁石40が巻真16と共に回転することにより、磁石40で発生した磁界の変化を磁気センサ41で検出するほか、図8に示すように、巻真16の軸方向のスライド位置が位置規制部材42によって規制されると共に、そのスライド位置に応じてスイッチが切り替わるように構成されている。   By the way, as shown in FIG. 2, the winding stem 16 is provided with a magnet 40 on the inner side (left side in FIG. 2) of the place arranged in the housing 5 of the timepiece module 4. By rotating, the magnetic sensor 41 detects the change in the magnetic field generated by the magnet 40, and as shown in FIG. 8, the axial slide position of the winding stem 16 is regulated by the position regulating member 42. The switch is configured to switch according to the slide position.

すなわち、ハウジング5内に位置する箇所の巻真16には、図2に示すように、その内端部側(図2では左端部側)から順に、ガイド軸部43、スライド軸部44、係合溝部45が設けられている。ガイド軸部43は、ハウジング5内に設けられたガイド孔46内にスライド可能で、且つ回転可能な状態で配置されている。   That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the winding stem 16 at the location located in the housing 5 is arranged in order from the inner end side (left end side in FIG. 2), the guide shaft portion 43, the slide shaft portion 44, A groove portion 45 is provided. The guide shaft portion 43 is slidable and rotatable in a guide hole 46 provided in the housing 5.

スライド軸部44は、断面四角形状の角棒状に形成され、磁石40が軸方向に沿ってスライド可能に取り付けられていると共に、磁石40がスライド軸部44と共に一体的に回転するように構成されている。係合溝部45は、巻真16に設けられた環状の凹溝であり、位置規制部材42の後述するオシドリ47を巻真16のスライド動作に応じて回転させるように構成されている。   The slide shaft portion 44 is formed in a square bar shape having a quadrangular cross section, and the magnet 40 is slidably attached along the axial direction, and the magnet 40 rotates integrally with the slide shaft portion 44. ing. The engagement groove portion 45 is an annular concave groove provided in the winding stem 16 and is configured to rotate a mandarin dipper 47, which will be described later, of the position regulating member 42 according to the sliding operation of the winding stem 16.

磁石40は、図2に示すように、巻真16のスライド軸部44にスライド可能に取り付けられた状態で、ハウジング5によって軸方向への移動が規制されている。すなわち、この磁石40は、巻真16がスライドしても、スライド軸部44が磁石40に対してスライドすることにより、スライド軸部44の軸方向における位置がハウジング5によって規制されて常に所定位置で回転するように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the movement of the magnet 40 in the axial direction is restricted by the housing 5 in a state in which the magnet 40 is slidably attached to the slide shaft portion 44 of the winding stem 16. In other words, even if the winding stem 16 slides, the magnet 40 slides the slide shaft portion 44 with respect to the magnet 40, so that the position of the slide shaft portion 44 in the axial direction is regulated by the housing 5 and is always at a predetermined position. It is configured to rotate at.

磁気センサ41は、図2に示すように、ハウジング5の下面に設けられた回路基板14の上面に磁石40と対応して設けられている。この磁気センサ41は、2つの磁気検出素子、例えば磁気抵抗素子(MR素子:Magneto Resistance 素子)と、その出力をデジタル化するICとを1つのパッケジに収めたものであり、2つの磁気抵抗素子で磁石40の回転に伴う磁界の変化を検出して、高い(ハイ:H)、低い(ロウ:L)の2種類の検出信号を出力するように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 2, the magnetic sensor 41 is provided in correspondence with the magnet 40 on the upper surface of the circuit board 14 provided on the lower surface of the housing 5. The magnetic sensor 41 includes two magnetic detection elements, for example, a magnetoresistive element (MR element: Magneto Resistance element) and an IC for digitizing the output in one package. Thus, a change in the magnetic field associated with the rotation of the magnet 40 is detected, and two types of detection signals, high (high: H) and low (low: L), are output.

すなわち、この磁気センサ41は、2つの磁気抵抗素子の設置位置が異なっていることにより、磁石40の回転に伴う磁界の変化を検出した際に、出力に位相差が生じ、この位相差によって2種類の検出信号を出力することにより、磁石40の回転を検出するように構成されている。この場合、回路基板14に組み付けられたマイコン(図示せず)は、2種類の検出信号を解析して、磁石40の回転角度(回転量)を算出するように構成されている。   That is, the magnetic sensor 41 is different in the installation position of the two magnetoresistive elements, so that when the change in the magnetic field accompanying the rotation of the magnet 40 is detected, a phase difference is generated in the output. The rotation of the magnet 40 is detected by outputting a type of detection signal. In this case, the microcomputer (not shown) assembled on the circuit board 14 is configured to analyze two types of detection signals and calculate the rotation angle (rotation amount) of the magnet 40.

また、この磁気センサ41は、磁石40の回転方向(正回転であるか逆回転であるか)を検出すると共に、磁石40の正回転または逆回転が連続しているか否かをも検出する。これにより、回路基板14のマイコンは、磁気センサ41で検出された回転方向の検出信号により、指針6を正方向(時計回り)または逆方向(反時計回り)に回転させると共に、磁気センサ41で検出された磁石40の回転が連続しているか否かの検出信号により、回転が連続している場合に、指針6を早送りで正方向(時計回り)または逆方向(反時計回り)に回転させる。   The magnetic sensor 41 detects the rotation direction of the magnet 40 (whether forward rotation or reverse rotation), and also detects whether the forward rotation or reverse rotation of the magnet 40 is continuous. Thereby, the microcomputer of the circuit board 14 rotates the pointer 6 in the forward direction (clockwise) or the reverse direction (counterclockwise) based on the rotation direction detection signal detected by the magnetic sensor 41, and at the magnetic sensor 41. When the rotation of the detected magnet 40 is continued, the pointer 6 is rotated in the forward direction (clockwise) or the reverse direction (counterclockwise) when the rotation is continued. .

一方、巻真16を位置規制する位置規制部材42は、図8に示すように、オシドリ47、オシドリばね48、スイッチ板49、および押え板50を備えている。オシドリ47は、図8に示すように、平板状に形成され、ハウジング5に回転可能に取り付けられ、巻真16の軸方向への移動に応じて回転するように構成されている。すなわち、このオシドリ47は、ハウジング5に起立して設けられた支持軸52にハウジング5の面方向に回転可能に取り付けられている。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8, the position regulating member 42 that regulates the position of the winding stem 16 includes a mandarin dipper 47, a mandarin spring 48, a switch plate 49, and a presser plate 50. As shown in FIG. 8, the mandarin orange 47 is formed in a flat plate shape, is rotatably attached to the housing 5, and is configured to rotate in accordance with the movement of the winding stem 16 in the axial direction. That is, the mandarin dipper 47 is attached to a support shaft 52 provided upright on the housing 5 so as to be rotatable in the surface direction of the housing 5.

このオシドリ47には、図8に示すように、巻真16の係合溝部45内に配置される連動アーム部47aと、オシドリばね48によって弾力的に位置規制される連動ピン47bと、スイッチ板49をオシドリ47と共に回転させる連結ピン47cとが設けられている。これにより、オシドリ47は、図8に示すように、巻真16が軸方向に移動すると、巻真16の係合溝部45の移動に伴って連動アーム部47aが揺動することにより、支持軸52を中心に回転するように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 8, the mandarin dipper 47 includes a linking arm portion 47 a disposed in the engagement groove 45 of the winding stem 16, a linking pin 47 b that is elastically regulated by a shore spring 48, and a switch plate. A connecting pin 47 c that rotates 49 together with the shoreline 47 is provided. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 8, when the winding stem 16 moves in the axial direction, the shorebird 47 swings the interlocking arm portion 47 a along with the movement of the engaging groove portion 45 of the winding stem 16, so that the supporting shaft 52 is configured to rotate around 52.

オシドリばね48は、図8に示すように、板ばねであり、オシドリ47の近傍に位置する箇所のハウジング5に固定され、オシドリ47の連動ピン47bを弾力的に保持して位置規制することにより、オシドリ47の回動位置を弾力的に規制して巻真16の軸方向の移動位置を規制するように構成されている。すなわち、このオシドリばね48は、図8に示すように、その先端部にオシドリ47の連動ピン47bを弾力的に保持する位置規制部51が設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 8, the mandarin spring 48 is a leaf spring, is fixed to the housing 5 at a location located in the vicinity of the mandarin dipper 47, and elastically holds the interlocking pin 47 b of the mandarin dipper 47 to restrict the position. The rotation position of the mandarin dipper 47 is elastically restricted so that the axial movement position of the winding stem 16 is restricted. That is, as shown in FIG. 8, the shore spring 48 is provided with a position restricting portion 51 that elastically holds the interlocking pin 47 b of the shorebird 47 at its tip.

この位置規制部51には、図8に示すように、連動ピン47bを弾力的に係止する複数の係止凹部51aが設けられている。これにより、オシドリばね48は、図8に示すように、巻真16が押し込まれた第1の位置(通常運針状態)のときに、オシドリ47の連動ピン47bを位置規制部51のいずれかの係止凹部51aで弾力的に係止することにより、巻真16を第1の位置に規制するように構成されている。   As shown in FIG. 8, the position restricting portion 51 is provided with a plurality of locking recesses 51a for elastically locking the interlocking pin 47b. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the mandarin spring 48 moves the interlocking pin 47 b of the mandarin dipper 47 to any one of the position restricting portions 51 when the winding stem 16 is in the first position where the winding stem 16 is pushed in (normal hand movement state). The winding stem 16 is configured to be restricted to the first position by being elastically locked by the locking recess 51a.

また、このオシドリばね48は、図12に示すように、巻真16が軸方向に引き出された第2の位置(時刻修正状態の位置)に移動するときに、オシドリ47が回転し、その回転に伴って連動ピン47bが回転移動して位置規制部51を弾性変形させ、この弾性変形した位置規制部51のいずれかの係止凹部51aがオシドリ47の連動ピン47bを弾力的に係止することにより、巻真16を第2の位置に規制するように構成されている。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, when the winding stem 16 moves to the second position where the winding stem 16 is pulled out in the axial direction (position in the time correction state), the mandarin spring 47 rotates, Along with this, the interlocking pin 47b rotates and elastically deforms the position restricting portion 51, and any of the locking recesses 51a of the elastically deformed position restricting portion 51 elastically locks the interlocking pin 47b of the duck 47. Thus, the winding stem 16 is configured to be restricted to the second position.

さらに、このオシドリばね48は、図8に示すように、巻真16が押し込まれた第1の位置(通常運針状態)から、図13に示すように、巻真16が更に押し込まれた第3の位置(他の機能状態)に移動する際に、オシドリ47の回転に伴って連動ピン47bが回転移動して位置規制部51を弾性変形させ、この弾性変形した位置規制部51がオシドリ47の連動ピン47bを弾力的に係止することにより、巻真16を第3の位置に規制するように構成されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the horseshoe spring 48 has a third position where the winding stem 16 is further pressed as shown in FIG. 13 from the first position where the winding stem 16 is pressed (normally in the state of hand movement). When moving to the position (other functional states), the interlocking pin 47 b rotates and moves with the rotation of the duck 47 to elastically deform the position restricting portion 51, and the elastically deformed position restricting portion 51 is The winding stem 16 is configured to be restricted to the third position by elastically locking the interlocking pin 47b.

スイッチ板49は、金属板からなり、図8に示すように、オシドリ47と共に支持軸52に回転可能に取り付けられている。このスイッチ板49には、図8に示すように、回路基板14の上面に接触して摺動する接触ばね部49aが、オシドリ47の連動アーム部47aと反対側に向けて延設されている。このスイッチ板49の所定箇所には、図8に示すように、オシドリ47の連結ピン47cが挿入されている。   The switch plate 49 is made of a metal plate and is rotatably attached to the support shaft 52 together with the shoreline 47 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, a contact spring portion 49 a that contacts and slides on the upper surface of the circuit board 14 extends on the switch plate 49 toward the side opposite to the interlocking arm portion 47 a of the duck 47. . As shown in FIG. 8, a connecting pin 47 c of the mandarin duck 47 is inserted into a predetermined portion of the switch plate 49.

これにより、スイッチ板49は、図8に示すように、接触ばね部49aの先端部が回路基板14の上面に接触した状態で、オシドリ47と共に回転移動し、この接触ばね部49aの先端部が回路基板14の上面に設けられた接点部14a、14bのいずれかに接触することにより、接触位置が切り替わるように構成されている。   As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the switch plate 49 rotates and moves together with the shoreline 47 in a state where the tip of the contact spring portion 49 a is in contact with the upper surface of the circuit board 14, and the tip of the contact spring portion 49 a The contact position is switched by contacting one of the contact portions 14 a and 14 b provided on the upper surface of the circuit board 14.

In this normal hand movement state, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotation operation member 18 is pushed toward the wristwatch case 1, and the female screw portion 33 of the rotation operation member 18 is screwed to the male screw portion 32 of the large diameter portion of the guide pipe 20. And is locked.

このため、押圧操作部材17は、図2に示すように、その頭部23に設けられたストッパ部36が、回転操作部材18の抜止め鍔部31に当接することにより、この回転操作部材18の抜止め鍔部31によって押圧操作部材17の頭部23が、滑り部材38を介してコイルばね37を圧縮させた状態で、腕時計ケース1の内部側に向けて押し込まれている。このため、押圧操作部材17は、その軸部22がガイドパイプ20内における腕時計ケース1の内部側に向けて押し込まれている。   For this reason, as shown in FIG. 2, the pressing operation member 17 is configured such that the stopper portion 36 provided on the head portion 23 abuts against the retaining collar portion 31 of the rotation operation member 18, whereby the rotation operation member 18. The head 23 of the pressing operation member 17 is pushed toward the inner side of the wristwatch case 1 with the coil spring 37 compressed through the sliding member 38 by the retaining collar 31. Therefore, the shaft portion 22 of the pressing operation member 17 is pressed toward the inside of the watch case 1 in the guide pipe 20.

また、この状態では、図8に示すように、巻真16が位置規制部材42のオシドリ47によって第1の位置(通常運針状態)に位置規制されていると共に、この位置規制部材42のスイッチ板49が回路基板14の接点部14a、14b間に位置して、そのいずれも接触しないオフ状態になっている。   Further, in this state, as shown in FIG. 8, the winding stem 16 is position-restricted to the first position (normal hand movement state) by the urchin 47 of the position-restricting member 42, and the switch plate of the position-restricting member 42 49 is located between the contact portions 14a and 14b of the circuit board 14 and is in an off state in which neither of them contacts.

このため、巻真16に連結された連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26は、押圧操作部材17の軸部22に設けられた断面円形状の第2ガイド孔22b内の補助コイルばね29を圧縮させた状態で、押圧操作部材17の軸部22に設けられた断面四角形状の第1ガイド孔22a内における外端部側(図2では右端部側)に位置する内面に当接している。   For this reason, the rectangular guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21 connected to the winding stem 16 has the auxiliary coil spring 29 in the second guide hole 22 b having a circular cross section provided in the shaft portion 22 of the pressing operation member 17. In the compressed state, the pressure operation member 17 is in contact with the inner surface located on the outer end side (right end side in FIG. 2) in the first guide hole 22a having a quadrangular cross section provided in the shaft portion 22 of the pressing operation member 17. .

すなわち、巻真16が位置規制部材42によって第1の位置(通常運針状態)に位置規制されていることにより、この巻真16に連結された連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26は、押圧操作部材17の軸部22に設けられた断面四角形状の第1ガイド孔22a内を補助コイルばね29のばね力に抗して相対的にスライドし、連結部材21のガイド軸27が押圧操作部材17の第2ガイド孔22b内を相対的にスライドすることにより、巻真16および連結部材21がスライドせずに、補助コイルばね29を圧縮させる。   That is, when the winding stem 16 is regulated to the first position (normal movement state) by the position regulating member 42, the rectangular guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21 coupled to the winding stem 16 is pressed. The guide member 27 slides relatively against the spring force of the auxiliary coil spring 29 in the first guide hole 22a having a quadrangular cross section provided in the shaft portion 22 of the operation member 17, and the guide shaft 27 of the connecting member 21 is pressed. By relatively sliding in the second guide hole 22 b of the 17, the auxiliary coil spring 29 is compressed without sliding the winding stem 16 and the connecting member 21.

次に、巻真16を回転させて時刻を修正する場合について説明する。
この場合には、まず、図9に示すように、回転操作部材18を回転させて、ガイドパイプ20の大径部の雄ねじ部32に対する回転操作部材18の雌ねじ部33の螺着を解除する。このときには、回転操作部材18がそのロックを解除する回転操作に伴って腕時計ケース1から離れる方向(図9では右側)に移動するので、この回転操作部材18の移動に伴って押圧操作部材17がコイルばね37のばね力によって押し出されることにより、回転操作部材18と同じ方向にスライドする。
Next, the case where the winding stem 16 is rotated to correct the time will be described.
In this case, first, as shown in FIG. 9, the rotation operation member 18 is rotated, and the screwing of the female screw portion 33 of the rotation operation member 18 to the male screw portion 32 of the large diameter portion of the guide pipe 20 is released. At this time, the rotation operation member 18 moves in a direction away from the wristwatch case 1 (right side in FIG. 9) in accordance with the rotation operation for releasing the lock, so that the pressing operation member 17 is moved along with the movement of the rotation operation member 18. By being pushed out by the spring force of the coil spring 37, it slides in the same direction as the rotary operation member 18.

また、このときには、押圧操作部材17の第2ガイド孔22b内に配置された補助コイルばね29が押圧操作部材17のスライドに応じて伸びるので、連動部材21は押圧操作部材17と共にスライドしない。すなわち、押圧操作部材17が回転操作部材18の移動に伴って押し出される方向にスライドするときには、連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26が押圧操作部材17の軸部22に設けられた断面四角形状の第1ガイド孔22a内を相対的にスライドする。   At this time, since the auxiliary coil spring 29 disposed in the second guide hole 22 b of the pressing operation member 17 extends in accordance with the sliding of the pressing operation member 17, the interlocking member 21 does not slide with the pressing operation member 17. That is, when the pressing operation member 17 slides in a direction in which the pressing operation member 17 is pushed out along with the movement of the rotation operation member 18, the rectangular guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21 has a rectangular cross section provided on the shaft portion 22 of the pressing operation member 17. The first guide hole 22a is relatively slid.

このため、押圧操作部材17は、その軸部22に設けられた抜止め突起17aが連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26にワッシャー28を介して接近する。これにより、連結部材21はスライドせず、巻真16もスライドすることがない。このため、巻真16は位置規制部材42によって第1の位置(通常運針状態)に位置規制され、この位置規制部材42のスイッチ板49が回路基板14の接点部14a、14b間に位置して、そのいずれも接触しないオフ状態を維持する。   For this reason, in the pressing operation member 17, the retaining protrusion 17 a provided on the shaft portion 22 approaches the rectangular guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21 via the washer 28. Thereby, the connecting member 21 does not slide, and the winding stem 16 does not slide. For this reason, the winding stem 16 is regulated to the first position (normal hand movement state) by the position regulating member 42, and the switch plate 49 of the position regulating member 42 is located between the contact portions 14 a and 14 b of the circuit board 14. , None of which is in contact and maintains an off state.

また、このときには、回転操作部材18が回転すると、その回転に伴って押圧操作部材17が回転すると共に、連動部材21が回転するので、巻真16も回転する。このため、巻真16に設けられた磁石40が回転する。しかし、このときには、スイッチ板49がオフ状態であるから、磁気センサ41は磁石40の磁界を検出することはない。   At this time, when the rotation operation member 18 rotates, the pressing operation member 17 rotates along with the rotation, and the interlocking member 21 rotates, so that the winding stem 16 also rotates. For this reason, the magnet 40 provided in the winding stem 16 rotates. However, at this time, since the switch plate 49 is in the OFF state, the magnetic sensor 41 does not detect the magnetic field of the magnet 40.

この状態で、図10に示すように、回転操作部材18を腕時計ケース1から離れる方向(図10では右側)に更に引き出すと、この回転操作部材18の移動に伴って押圧操作部材17がコイルばね37のばね力によって押し出されることにより、回転操作部材18と共に同じ方向にスライドする。   In this state, as shown in FIG. 10, when the rotation operation member 18 is further pulled out in the direction away from the wristwatch case 1 (right side in FIG. 10), the pressing operation member 17 is moved to the coil spring as the rotation operation member 18 moves. By being pushed out by the spring force of 37, it slides in the same direction together with the rotary operation member 18.

このときには、押圧操作部材17の軸部22に設けられた抜止め突起17aに、巻真16に連結された連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26が当接することにより、押圧操作部材17のスライド動作に伴って連結部材21が引き出される方向(図10では右側)に向けてスライドして巻真16を引き出す方向にスライドさせる。   At this time, the rectangular guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21 connected to the winding stem 16 is brought into contact with the retaining protrusion 17a provided on the shaft portion 22 of the pressing operation member 17, whereby the slide of the pressing operation member 17 is performed. In accordance with the operation, the connecting member 21 is slid in the direction in which the connecting member 21 is pulled out (right side in FIG. 10) and slid in the direction in which the winding stem 16 is pulled out.

すると、図12に示すように、巻真16の係合溝部45に係合している位置規制部材42のオシドリ47が、巻真16のスライドに伴って回転し、スイッチ板49を回転させて、スイッチ板49の接触ばね部49aを1つの接点部14aに接触させる。これにより、スイッチがオン状態になり、モードが通常運針モードから時刻修正モードに切り替わる。このため、磁気センサ41がオンして巻真16に設けられた磁石40の磁界を検出可能な状態になる。   Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the shoreline 47 of the position restricting member 42 engaged with the engaging groove portion 45 of the winding stem 16 rotates with the slide of the winding stem 16, and rotates the switch plate 49. The contact spring portion 49a of the switch plate 49 is brought into contact with one contact portion 14a. As a result, the switch is turned on, and the mode is switched from the normal hand movement mode to the time adjustment mode. For this reason, the magnetic sensor 41 is turned on and the magnetic field of the magnet 40 provided in the winding stem 16 can be detected.

この状態で、回転操作部材18を回転させると、これに伴って押圧操作部材17が回転し、この押圧操作部材17の回転が連結部材21のガイド板26に伝わり、この連結部材21が押圧操作部材17と共に回転し、この連結部材21の回転によって巻真16が回転する。すると、巻真16と共に磁石40が回転するので、この磁石40の回転に伴う磁界の変化を磁気センサ41で検出し、その検出結果に基づいて指針6を運針させて時刻を修正する。   When the rotation operating member 18 is rotated in this state, the pressing operation member 17 is rotated accordingly, and the rotation of the pressing operation member 17 is transmitted to the guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21, and the connecting member 21 is pressed. The winding stem 16 rotates together with the member 17 and the connecting member 21 rotates. Then, since the magnet 40 rotates together with the winding stem 16, a change in the magnetic field accompanying the rotation of the magnet 40 is detected by the magnetic sensor 41, and the pointer 6 is moved based on the detection result to correct the time.

この状態のときに、押圧操作部材17を外部から押圧操作しても、スイッチ板49は動作せず、スイッチが切り替わることはない。すなわち、回転操作部材18の回転操作中に誤って押圧操作部材17を外部から押圧操作した際には、巻真16に連結された連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26が、押圧操作部材17の軸部22に設けられた断面四角形状の第1ガイド孔22a内を相対的にスライドして、押圧操作部材17の軸部22に設けられた抜止め突起17aが連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26から離れる。   In this state, even if the pressing member 17 is pressed from the outside, the switch plate 49 does not operate and the switch is not switched. That is, when the pressing operation member 17 is accidentally pressed from the outside during the rotation operation of the rotation operating member 18, the rectangular guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21 connected to the winding stem 16 is pressed against the pressing operation member 17. The retaining projection 17a provided on the shaft portion 22 of the pressing operation member 17 is relatively slid in the first guide hole 22a having a rectangular cross section provided on the shaft portion 22 of the connecting member 21. The guide plate 26 is separated.

このため、連結部材21はスライドせず、巻真16もスライドすることがないので、図12に示すように、巻真16は位置規制部材42によって第2の位置(時刻修正状態)に規制された状態を維持すると共に、スイッチ板49の接触ばね部49aが回路基板14の1つの接点部14aに接触したオン状態を維持する。   For this reason, since the connecting member 21 does not slide and the winding stem 16 does not slide, the winding stem 16 is regulated to the second position (time correction state) by the position regulating member 42 as shown in FIG. In addition, the contact spring portion 49a of the switch plate 49 is maintained in an on state in which the contact spring portion 49a of the switch board 49 is in contact with one contact portion 14a of the circuit board 14.

次に、このスイッチ装置7の押圧操作部材17を押圧操作して他の機能に切り替え、指針6の機能針6dを運針させる場合について説明する。
この場合には、図2に示したように、スイッチ装置7の回転操作部材18が操作できない通常運針状態にロックする。すなわち、回転操作部材18を腕時計ケース1側に押し込んで、回転操作部材18の雌ねじ部33をガイドパイプ20の大径部の雄ねじ部32に螺着させてロックする。
Next, a case where the pressing operation member 17 of the switch device 7 is pressed to switch to another function and the function hand 6d of the pointer 6 is moved will be described.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 2, the rotation operation member 18 of the switch device 7 is locked in a normal hand movement state in which it cannot be operated. That is, the rotation operation member 18 is pushed into the wristwatch case 1 side, and the female screw portion 33 of the rotation operation member 18 is screwed to the male screw portion 32 of the large diameter portion of the guide pipe 20 to be locked.

この状態では、巻真16が位置規制部材42のオシドリ47によって第1の位置(通常運針状態)に位置規制され、この位置規制部材42のスイッチ板49が回路基板14の接点部14a、14b間に位置して、そのいずれも接触しないオフ状態になる。また、このときには、押圧操作部材17の頭部23に設けられたストッパ部36がコイルばね37のばね力によって回転操作部材18の抜止め鍔部31に当接すると共に、巻真16に連結された連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26が、押圧操作部材17の軸部22に設けられた断面四角形状の第1ガイド孔22a内における内面に当接した状態になる。   In this state, the winding stem 16 is regulated to the first position (normal movement state) by the shoreline 47 of the position regulating member 42, and the switch plate 49 of the position regulating member 42 is between the contact portions 14 a and 14 b of the circuit board 14. In the off state where none of them touch. At this time, the stopper portion 36 provided on the head portion 23 of the pressing operation member 17 abuts against the retaining collar portion 31 of the rotation operation member 18 by the spring force of the coil spring 37 and is connected to the winding stem 16. The rectangular guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21 is in contact with the inner surface of the first guide hole 22 a having a rectangular cross section provided in the shaft portion 22 of the pressing operation member 17.

このような通常運針状態において、押圧操作部材17が外部から押圧操作されると、図11に示すように、押圧操作部材17がコイルばね37のばね力に抗して腕時計ケース1の内部側(図11では左側)に向けてスライドする。すると、押圧操作部材17の第1ガイド孔22a内における内面が連結部材21の四角形状のガイド板26を押圧するので、押圧操作部材17のスライドに伴って連結部材21が腕時計ケース1の内部側に向けてスライドし、この連結部材21によって巻真16が押し込まれる。   In such a normal hand movement state, when the pressing operation member 17 is pressed from the outside, the pressing operation member 17 resists the spring force of the coil spring 37 as shown in FIG. Slide toward the left side in FIG. Then, since the inner surface in the first guide hole 22a of the pressing operation member 17 presses the rectangular guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21, the connecting member 21 is moved to the inner side of the watch case 1 as the pressing operation member 17 slides. The winding stem 16 is pushed in by the connecting member 21.

すると、巻真16の係合溝部45に係合している位置規制部材42のオシドリ47が、巻真16のスライドに伴って回転し、スイッチ板49を回転させる。このため、図13に示すように、スイッチ板49の接触ばね部49aが他の接点部14bに接触してオン状態になり、スイッチが通常運針モードから他の機能モードに切り替わる。このため、磁気センサ41がオンして巻真16に設けられた磁石40の磁界を検出可能な状態になる。   Then, the urine drip 47 of the position restricting member 42 engaged with the engaging groove portion 45 of the winding stem 16 rotates as the winding stem 16 slides to rotate the switch plate 49. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 13, the contact spring portion 49a of the switch plate 49 comes into contact with the other contact portion 14b to be turned on, and the switch is switched from the normal hand movement mode to another function mode. For this reason, the magnetic sensor 41 is turned on and the magnetic field of the magnet 40 provided in the winding stem 16 can be detected.

この状態で、回転操作部材18を回転させると、これに伴って押圧操作部材17が回転し、この押圧操作部材17の回転が連結部材21のガイド板26に伝わり、この連結部材21が押圧操作部材17と共に回転し、この連結部材21の回転によって巻真16が回転する。すると、巻真16と共に磁石40が回転するので、この磁石40の回転に伴う磁界の変化を磁気センサ41で検出する。このときには、その検出結果に基づいて他の機能モードである指針6の機能針6dを運針させる。   When the rotation operating member 18 is rotated in this state, the pressing operation member 17 is rotated accordingly, and the rotation of the pressing operation member 17 is transmitted to the guide plate 26 of the connecting member 21, and the connecting member 21 is pressed. The winding stem 16 rotates together with the member 17 and the connecting member 21 rotates. Then, since the magnet 40 rotates together with the winding stem 16, the magnetic sensor 41 detects a change in the magnetic field accompanying the rotation of the magnet 40. At this time, the function hand 6d of the pointer 6 which is another function mode is moved based on the detection result.

このように、この電子腕時計のスイッチ装置7によれば、軸方向に貫通孔30が形成された回転操作部材18と、この回転操作部材18の貫通孔30内に移動可能で、貫通孔30の一方の開口である外端部側から押圧操作可能で、且つ貫通孔30の外端部側から抜け出さないように設けられていると共に、回転操作部材18を回転させた際に回転操作部材18と共に一体的に回転する押圧操作部材17と、回転操作部材18の貫通孔30内に配置され、押圧操作部材17を外端部側に向けて付勢するコイルばね37と、を備えているので、回転操作部材18のスライド動作に応じて押圧操作部材17を間欠的に連動させてスライドさせることができる。   As described above, according to the switch device 7 of the electronic wristwatch, the rotation operation member 18 having the through hole 30 formed in the axial direction and the movement member 18 can be moved into the through hole 30 of the rotation operation member 18. It is provided so that it can be pressed from the outer end side that is one of the openings and does not come out from the outer end side of the through-hole 30, and together with the rotation operation member 18 when the rotation operation member 18 is rotated. Since it includes a pressing operation member 17 that rotates integrally, and a coil spring 37 that is disposed in the through hole 30 of the rotation operation member 18 and biases the pressing operation member 17 toward the outer end side, The pressing operation member 17 can be intermittently interlocked and slid according to the sliding operation of the rotation operation member 18.

すなわち、このスイッチ装置7では、回転操作部材18を引き出した際に、コイルばね37のばね力によって押圧操作部材17を回転操作部材18の引出し操作に連動させてスライドさせることができるので、押圧操作部17が回転操作部材18内に沈み込まないようにすることができ、これによりスイッチ装置7として、違和感が生じることがなく、デザイン的に好ましいものを得ることができる。   That is, in this switch device 7, when the rotation operation member 18 is pulled out, the pressing operation member 17 can be slid in conjunction with the drawing operation of the rotation operation member 18 by the spring force of the coil spring 37. It is possible to prevent the portion 17 from sinking into the rotary operation member 18, and as a result, an uncomfortable feeling is not generated as the switch device 7, and a favorable design can be obtained.

また、このスイッチ装置7によれば、滑り部材38が、コイルばね37における外端部側に位置する端部および内端部側に位置する端部のうち、外端部側に位置する端部が当接する箇所である押圧操作部材17の頭部23における内面に設けられ、回転操作部材18を回転させた際に、滑り部材38がコイルばね37を回転方向に滑らせる構成であるから、回転操作部材18と共に回転する押圧操作部材17がコイルばね37のばね力によって回転操作部材18の外端部側に向けて付勢されていても、コイルばね37が滑り部材38によって回転方向に沿って滑ることにより、回転操作部材18を回転操作する際に、回転操作部材18を押圧操作部材17と共に円滑に回転させることができる。このため、コイルばね37を備えていても、回転操作性が良く、回転操作部材18および押圧操作部材17を円滑に回転させることができる。   Further, according to the switch device 7, the sliding member 38 is an end portion located on the outer end side among the end portion located on the outer end side and the end portion located on the inner end side of the coil spring 37. Is provided on the inner surface of the head 23 of the pressing operation member 17 that is a contact point, and when the rotation operation member 18 is rotated, the sliding member 38 is configured to slide the coil spring 37 in the rotation direction. Even when the pressing operation member 17 that rotates together with the operation member 18 is biased toward the outer end side of the rotation operation member 18 by the spring force of the coil spring 37, the coil spring 37 is moved along the rotation direction by the sliding member 38. By sliding, the rotation operation member 18 can be smoothly rotated together with the pressing operation member 17 when the rotation operation member 18 is rotated. For this reason, even if the coil spring 37 is provided, the rotation operability is good and the rotation operation member 18 and the pressing operation member 17 can be smoothly rotated.

さらに、このスイッチ装置7によれば、押圧操作部材17と機能操作部材である巻真16とを間欠的に連結する連結部材21を備えており、この連結部材21は、押圧操作部材17が回転操作部材18と共に外端部側に向けてスライドする際に、押圧操作部材17のスライド距離が予め定められた距離に到達するまでは連動せず、スライド距離が予め定められた距離に到達した後に連動して巻真16をスライドさせ、この状態で押圧操作部材17が押圧操作された際に、この押圧操作部材17と連動してスライドしない構成であるから、回転操作部材18を引き出した時刻修正状態で回転操作させて時刻を修正している際に、誤って押圧操作部材17を押圧操作しても、連結部材21が巻真16をスライドさせることがなく、スイッチを不用意に切り替えてしまうのを防ぐことができる。   Furthermore, according to this switch device 7, the connecting member 21 which intermittently connects the pressing operation member 17 and the winding stem 16 which is a function operating member is provided, and the connecting member 21 is rotated by the pressing operation member 17. When sliding toward the outer end side together with the operation member 18, it does not interlock until the slide distance of the pressing operation member 17 reaches a predetermined distance, and after the slide distance reaches a predetermined distance. The winding stem 16 is slid in conjunction with this, and when the pressing operation member 17 is pressed in this state, it does not slide in conjunction with the pressing operation member 17, so the time correction when the rotation operation member 18 is pulled out Even when the pressing operation member 17 is accidentally pressed when the time is corrected by rotating the operation in the state, the connecting member 21 does not slide the winding stem 16 and the switch is unnecessary. It can be prevented from being switched on.

また、この連結部材21は、押圧操作部材17が回転操作部材18によって内端部側に向けて押し込まれた通常運針状態のときに、押圧操作部材17の押圧操作に連動して巻真16をスライドさせる構成であるから、押圧操作部材17が回転操作部材18によって内端部側に向けて押し込まれた通常運針状態で、押圧操作部材17を押圧操作すると、巻真16がスライドして、通常運針モードから他の機能モードに確実に且つ良好に切り替えることができる。   In addition, the connecting member 21 is configured to move the winding stem 16 in conjunction with the pressing operation of the pressing operation member 17 when the pressing operation member 17 is in a normal hand movement state when the pressing operation member 17 is pressed toward the inner end side by the rotation operation member 18. Since the structure is made to slide, when the pressing operation member 17 is pressed in a normal hand movement state in which the pressing operation member 17 is pushed toward the inner end side by the rotation operation member 18, the winding stem 16 slides, It is possible to reliably and satisfactorily switch from the hand movement mode to another function mode.

なお、上述した実施形態では、コイルばね37の外端部側が対応する押圧操作部材17における頭部23の内面に滑り部材38を配置した場合について述べたが、これに限らず、コイルばね37の内端部側が対応するガイドパイプ20における大径部と中間径部との段差部に滑り部材38を配置しても良い。また、これに限らず、滑り部材38は、コイルばね37の外端部側が対応する押圧操作部材17における頭部23の内面と、コイルばね37の内端部側が対応するガイドパイプ20の段差部との両方に配置しても良い。   In the above-described embodiment, the case where the sliding member 38 is disposed on the inner surface of the head 23 of the pressing operation member 17 corresponding to the outer end side of the coil spring 37 is described. The sliding member 38 may be disposed at a step portion between the large diameter portion and the intermediate diameter portion of the guide pipe 20 corresponding to the inner end side. In addition, the sliding member 38 is not limited to this, and the step portion of the guide pipe 20 corresponding to the inner surface of the head 23 in the pressing operation member 17 corresponding to the outer end side of the coil spring 37 and the inner end side of the coil spring 37 corresponds. It may be arranged in both.

また、上述した実施形態では、コイルばね37の外端部側が対応する押圧操作部材17における頭部23の内面にワッシャー形状の滑り部材38を配置した場合について述べたが、滑り部材38は必ずしもワッシャー形状である必要はなく、例えば、コイルばね37の外端部側が対応する押圧操作部材17における頭部23の内面に設けられたテフロン(登録商標)層やめっき層などの摩擦抵抗の小さい表面処理層であっても良い。   In the above-described embodiment, the case where the washer-shaped sliding member 38 is disposed on the inner surface of the head portion 23 of the pressing operation member 17 corresponding to the outer end side of the coil spring 37 has been described. However, the sliding member 38 is not necessarily a washer. For example, a surface treatment with a small frictional resistance such as a Teflon (registered trademark) layer or a plating layer provided on the inner surface of the head portion 23 of the pressing operation member 17 corresponding to the outer end portion side of the coil spring 37 does not need to have a shape. It may be a layer.

この場合にも、表面処理層は、コイルばね37の内端部側が対応するガイドパイプ20における大径部と中間径部との段差部に設けた構成でも良く、またコイルばね37の外端部側が対応する押圧操作部材17の頭部23の内面と、コイルばね37の内端部側が対応するガイドパイプ20の段差部との両方に設けた構成であっても良い。   Also in this case, the surface treatment layer may be provided at the step portion between the large diameter portion and the intermediate diameter portion of the guide pipe 20 corresponding to the inner end portion side of the coil spring 37, or the outer end portion of the coil spring 37. The structure provided in both the inner surface of the head 23 of the pressing operation member 17 to which the side corresponds and the step portion of the guide pipe 20 to which the inner end side of the coil spring 37 corresponds may be used.

さらに、上述した実施形態では、コイルばね37の外端部側が対応する押圧操作部材17における頭部23の内面に滑り部材38を配置した場合について述べたが、必ずしも滑り部材38を設ける必要はなく、例えばコイルばね37の内端部側が対応する受け部材であるガイドパイプ20を、コイルばね37の外端部側が対応する押圧操作部材17の摩擦係数よりも小さい摩擦係数を有するフッ素系やポリエチレン系などの滑り性を有する合成樹脂で形成しても良い。また、これに限らず、コイルばね37の外端部側が対応する押圧操作部材17も、摩擦係数の小さいフッ素系やポリエチレン系などの滑り性を有する合成樹脂で形成しても良い。   Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the sliding member 38 is disposed on the inner surface of the head portion 23 of the pressing operation member 17 corresponding to the outer end side of the coil spring 37 has been described, but the sliding member 38 is not necessarily provided. For example, the guide pipe 20 which is a receiving member corresponding to the inner end side of the coil spring 37 is a fluorine-based or polyethylene-based one having a friction coefficient smaller than the friction coefficient of the pressing operation member 17 corresponding to the outer end side of the coil spring 37. You may form with the synthetic resin which has slipperiness, such as. In addition, the pressing operation member 17 corresponding to the outer end side of the coil spring 37 is not limited to this, and may be formed of a synthetic resin having slipperiness such as fluorine or polyethylene having a small friction coefficient.

なおまた、上述した実施形態およびその各変形例では、指針式の電子腕時計に適用した場合について述べたが、必ずしも電子腕時計である必要はなく、例えばトラベルウオッチ、目覚まし時計、置き時計、掛け時計などの各種の指針式の電子時計に広く適用することができる。   In addition, in the above-described embodiment and each modification thereof, the case where it is applied to a pointer-type electronic wristwatch has been described, but it is not necessarily an electronic wristwatch. It can be widely applied to the pointer type electronic timepiece.
