以降、図10を用いて、揺動スイッチユニット1の構成の詳細について説明する。図10は、図3において揺動スイッチノブ10が組み着けられたときのX−X断面を表したものである。   Hereinafter, the configuration of the swing switch unit 1 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 shows an XX cross section when the swing switch knob 10 is assembled in FIG.

揺動スイッチユニット1は、例えばABS樹脂製の筐体50と、筐体50に設けられた揺動支点となる係合凸部51が、その係合孔部12(図14参照)に双方向に揺動可能に取り付けられた揺動スイッチノブ10と、揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動端11a,11bに対応して設けられたプッシュ式スイッチ素子をなす1対のタクトスイッチ40a,40bと、揺動スイッチノブ10と連動する形で双方向に揺動可能に設けられ、揺動スイッチノブ10の一方の揺動端11a,11bが押圧付勢されるに伴い、当該押圧付勢力をタクトスイッチ40a,40bに伝達する付勢伝達体30a,30bと、を備えて構成されている。これにより、揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動長手方向における揺動端11a,11bに押圧操作が加わるに伴い、対応する付勢伝達体30a,30bが対応するタクトスイッチ40a,40bに向けて接近する向きに揺動変位する。   The swing switch unit 1 includes a housing 50 made of, for example, ABS resin, and an engagement convex portion 51 serving as a swing fulcrum provided in the housing 50 in both directions on the engagement hole 12 (see FIG. 14). And a pair of tact switches 40a and 40b that constitute push-type switch elements provided corresponding to the swinging ends 11a and 11b of the swinging switch knob 10; The swing switch knob 10 is provided so as to be swingable in both directions. As one swing end 11a, 11b of the swing switch knob 10 is pressed and biased, the pressing biasing force is applied to the tact switch. And urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b that transmit to 40a and 40b. Thus, as the pressing operation is applied to the swinging ends 11a and 11b in the swinging longitudinal direction of the swinging switch knob 10, the corresponding urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b approach toward the corresponding tact switches 40a and 40b. Oscillating displacement in the direction.

揺動スイッチノブ10は、図13,図14のように、押圧付勢操作方向の手前側の面に意匠面が形成され、かつ押圧付勢操作方向後方に開口する中空のフランジ形状を有するノブ本体13と、ノブ本体13の内側において、揺動長手方向に所定の間隔を隔てて該押圧付勢操作方向に突出形成された揺動端11a,11bと、ノブ本体13の揺動長手方向の側面の中間位置において筐体の係合凸部51に対し揺動可能に組み付けられる係合孔部12とを備えており、ABS樹脂による樹脂射出成形体として形成されている。また、揺動スイッチノブ10の一方の揺動端11a,11bが押圧付勢されたとき、筐体50に形成された揺動ガイド部52に当接しながら揺動変位する。また、揺動ガイド部52に当接する領域が、14a,14bで示されている。   As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the swing switch knob 10 is a knob having a hollow flange shape having a design surface formed on the front side in the pressing and biasing operation direction and opening rearward in the pressing and biasing operation direction. On the inside of the main body 13 and the knob main body 13, the rocking ends 11 a and 11 b formed to protrude in the pressing and biasing operation direction with a predetermined interval in the rocking longitudinal direction, and the knob body 13 in the rocking longitudinal direction An engagement hole portion 12 that is swingably assembled to the engagement convex portion 51 of the housing is provided at an intermediate position on the side surface, and is formed as a resin injection molded body made of ABS resin. Further, when one of the swinging ends 11 a and 11 b of the swinging switch knob 10 is pressed and urged, the swinging switch knob 10 is swingingly displaced while being in contact with the swinging guide portion 52 formed in the housing 50. Further, regions 14a and 14b are in contact with the swing guide portion 52.

図10に戻り、付勢伝達体30a,30bは、例えば、ABS樹脂による樹脂射出成形体として形成されている。図20のように、付勢伝達体30aは、断面が略櫛型形状となる、一方の垂直面が開放状態となった直方体で構成される本体部33aと、本体部33aから揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動端11aに向けて突出し、略円柱形状をなす上端部31aと、本体部33aからタクトスイッチ40aに向けて突出し、略円柱形状をなす下端部32aとにより構成される(30bについても同様)。図10では、図20におけるY−Y方向から見た断面図が示されている。   Returning to FIG. 10, the urging transmission bodies 30 a and 30 b are formed as, for example, resin injection molded bodies made of ABS resin. As shown in FIG. 20, the urging transmission body 30a includes a main body 33a having a substantially comb-shaped cross section and a rectangular parallelepiped with one vertical surface opened, and a swing switch knob from the main body 33a. The upper end portion 31a protrudes toward the rocking end 11a and has a substantially cylindrical shape, and the lower end portion 32a protrudes from the main body portion 33a toward the tact switch 40a and has a substantially cylindrical shape (also about 30b). The same). FIG. 10 shows a cross-sectional view seen from the YY direction in FIG.

なお、上端部31a,31bの先端の揺動端11a,11bと当接する部分も略円柱形状であるが、揺動端11a,11bの押圧付勢力を確実に伝達するために、(例えば、揺動端11a,11bの形状に合わせた)多角柱形状のような他の形状としてもよい。また、下端部32a,32bの先端は略テーパー形状となっているが、押圧付勢力を対応するタクトスイッチ40a,40bに確実に伝達するために、上端部31a,31bと同様の略円柱形状のような他の形状としてもよい。   The portions of the top ends 31a and 31b that are in contact with the rocking ends 11a and 11b are also substantially cylindrical, but in order to reliably transmit the pressing biasing force of the rocking ends 11a and 11b (for example, rocking) Other shapes such as a polygonal column shape (according to the shapes of the moving ends 11a and 11b) may be used. Moreover, although the front-end | tip of lower end part 32a, 32b becomes substantially taper shape, in order to transmit a pressing biasing force to corresponding tact switch 40a, 40b reliably, it is the substantially cylindrical shape similar to upper end part 31a, 31b. It is good also as such other shapes.

付勢伝達体30a,30bは、対応するタクトスイッチ40a,40bに向かって延出形成されて該タクトスイッチ40a,40bを付勢するものであり、上端部31a,31bは、揺動スイッチノブ10の対応する揺動端11a,11bと常に接触した状態、あるいは予め定められた間隙を設けて配置されている。また、下端部32a,32bは、タクトスイッチ40a,40bの先端部41a,41bと常に接触した状態、あるいは予め定められた間隙を設けて配置されている。   The urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b are formed to extend toward the corresponding tact switches 40a and 40b to urge the tact switches 40a and 40b, and the upper end portions 31a and 31b are provided with the swing switch knob 10. Are arranged in contact with the corresponding swinging ends 11a and 11b, or with a predetermined gap. Further, the lower end portions 32a and 32b are arranged so as to be always in contact with the tip portions 41a and 41b of the tact switches 40a and 40b, or provided with a predetermined gap.

タクトスイッチ40a,40bは、揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動端11a,11bに対応し、操作押圧方向の後端に設けられるものであり、基板60の予め定められた基準方向(図10の左右方向)に所定の間隔を隔てて配置され、揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動端11a,11bへの押圧付勢及び付勢解除により導通状態が切り替わるように構成されている。なお、タクトスイッチ40a,40bには、押圧操作面を有する先端部41a,41bが押圧付勢されるに伴い操作節度感(クリック感)を発生させるようになっている。   The tact switches 40a and 40b correspond to the swinging ends 11a and 11b of the swinging switch knob 10 and are provided at the rear end of the operation pressing direction. (Direction) at a predetermined interval, and the continuity state is switched by pressing and releasing the urging ends 11 a and 11 b of the oscillating switch knob 10. The tact switches 40a and 40b generate an operational moderation feeling (click feeling) as the tip portions 41a and 41b having pressing operation surfaces are pressed and urged.

図5〜図9を用いて、シール部材20の構成について説明する。図5にシール部材20の斜視図(符号は一部省略)を、図6にシール部材20の揺動スイッチノブ10側に相当する上面図および側面図を、図7にシール部材20の正面図を、図8に図6におけるA−A断面図を、図9に図6にシール部材20のタクトスイッチ40a,40b側に相当する下面図およびそのB−B断面図を示す。   The configuration of the seal member 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the seal member 20 (the reference numerals are partially omitted), FIG. 6 is a top view and a side view corresponding to the swing switch knob 10 side of the seal member 20, and FIG. 7 is a front view of the seal member 20 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 6, and FIG. 9 is a bottom view corresponding to the tact switch 40a, 40b side of the seal member 20 and a cross-sectional view taken along line BB.

シール部材20には、付勢伝達体30a,30bの上端部31a,31bを挿通する、略円形状の貫通孔21a,21bが形成され、これら上端部31a,31bとはシール部材20の弾性力にて当接している。   The seal member 20 is formed with substantially circular through holes 21a and 21b through which the upper end portions 31a and 31b of the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b are inserted, and the upper end portions 31a and 31b are the elastic force of the seal member 20. Is in contact.

貫通孔21a,21bが含まれる領域25は、それ以外の領域24a,24bよりも厚みが薄くなっている。すなわち、貫通孔21a,21bに近づくにつれて断続的に薄くなっている。領域24a,24bから領域25(あるいは貫通孔21a,21b)までの厚みの変化を斜面形状として連続的に薄くする構成としてもよい。これにより、シール部材20の強度を十分なものとするとともに、貫通孔の周縁部29a,29bの弾性変形をより容易なものとしている(詳細は後述)。   The region 25 including the through holes 21a and 21b is thinner than the other regions 24a and 24b. That is, it becomes thinner intermittently as it approaches the through holes 21a and 21b. A change in thickness from the regions 24a and 24b to the region 25 (or the through holes 21a and 21b) may be continuously thinned as a slope shape. As a result, the strength of the seal member 20 is sufficient, and the elastic deformation of the peripheral portions 29a and 29b of the through holes is made easier (details will be described later).

また、シール部材20の上面には、揺動スイッチノブ10の突起部13a、13b(図13,図14参照)により押圧付勢される上面凸部22a,22bが設けられている(動作および作用については後述)。また、上面凸部22a,22bを接続する上面接続凸部23も形成されて、略H型形状をなしている。これにより、シール部材20の強度を十分なものとするとともに、上面凸部22a,22bの筐体50の開口部55の周縁(例えば揺動ガイド部52)方向への弾性付勢力をより大きくし、シール部材20の筐体50への装着を確実なものとしている。   Further, on the upper surface of the seal member 20, there are provided upper surface convex portions 22a and 22b which are pressed and urged by the protrusion portions 13a and 13b (see FIGS. 13 and 14) of the swing switch knob 10 (operation and action). Will be described later). Moreover, the upper surface connection convex part 23 which connects the upper surface convex parts 22a and 22b is also formed, and has comprised the substantially H shape. As a result, the strength of the seal member 20 becomes sufficient, and the elastic urging force in the direction of the periphery (for example, the swinging guide portion 52) of the opening 55 of the housing 50 of the upper surface convex portions 22a and 22b is further increased. The mounting of the seal member 20 to the housing 50 is ensured.

また、シール部材20には、凹部27a,27bが形成され、筐体50に形成された揺動ガイド部52に、シール部材20(例えば、上面凸部22a,22b,上面接続凸部23)の有する弾性付勢力をもって装着される。これにより、揺動ガイド部52の三方を囲むようにシール部材20を装着することで、シール部材20がガタついたりすることもなく、筐体50に確実に装着することができる。   Further, the seal member 20 is formed with recesses 27a and 27b, and the swing guide portion 52 formed in the housing 50 is connected to the seal member 20 (for example, the upper surface protrusions 22a and 22b and the upper surface connection protrusion 23). It is mounted with an elastic biasing force. Thus, by mounting the seal member 20 so as to surround the three sides of the swing guide portion 52, the seal member 20 can be securely mounted to the housing 50 without being loose.

なお、略矩形状をなすシール部材20の各頂点には、切り欠き部26が形成されているが、これら切り欠き部のない構成としてもよい。また、切り欠き部26が形成されていることで、揺動スイッチノブ10とシール部材20との干渉を少なくし、揺動スイッチノブ10の可動範囲を広くすることもできる。   In addition, although the notch part 26 is formed in each vertex of the substantially rectangular seal member 20, it is good also as a structure without these notch parts. Further, since the notch 26 is formed, interference between the swing switch knob 10 and the seal member 20 can be reduced, and the movable range of the swing switch knob 10 can be widened.

特に図7〜図9において、シール部材20の下面には、筐体50への装着を確実に行うための下面凸部61a,61b,62a,62bが形成されている。また、下面凸部62a,62bを接続する下面接続凸部63も形成されて、略H型形状をなしている。これにより、シール部材20の強度を十分なものとするとともに、下面凸部62a,62bの筐体50の開口部55の周縁方向への弾性付勢力をより大きくしている。そして、これら下面凸部61a,61bが、支持部53と筐体50の周縁とが形成する空間55a,55c(図4参照)に挿入され、また、下面凸部62a,62bが、2つの支持部53の間の空間55b,55d(図4参照)に挿入されることで、それぞれの部材の有する弾性付勢力をもってシール部材20は筐体50に確実に装着される。   In particular, in FIGS. 7 to 9, lower surface convex portions 61 a, 61 b, 62 a, and 62 b are formed on the lower surface of the seal member 20 for surely mounting on the housing 50. Further, a lower surface connection convex portion 63 that connects the lower surface convex portions 62a and 62b is also formed, and has a substantially H shape. Thereby, the strength of the seal member 20 is made sufficient, and the elastic urging force in the peripheral direction of the opening 55 of the casing 50 of the lower surface convex portions 62a and 62b is further increased. And these lower surface convex parts 61a and 61b are inserted in the space 55a and 55c (refer FIG. 4) which the support part 53 and the periphery of the housing | casing 50 form, and the lower surface convex parts 62a and 62b are two support. By being inserted into the spaces 55b and 55d (see FIG. 4) between the portions 53, the seal member 20 is securely attached to the housing 50 with the elastic biasing force of each member.

図11,図12を用いて、シール部材20の貫通孔21a,21bの詳細について、貫通孔21aの断面図を例に挙げて説明する。図11のように(図9の断面図にもあるように)、貫通孔21aの周縁部29aは、シール部材20の他の部分に比べて、操作スイッチノブ10に向かって(すなわち、押圧付勢力の伝達方向とは逆方向)、孔径が連続的あるいは断続的に縮小する形態で、貫通孔21aの周方向に向かって連続的あるいは断続的に突出する突出部を形成している(あるいは突出部を含んでいる)。この周縁部29aは、貫通孔21aに挿通される付勢伝達体30aの上端部31aに弾性力をもって当接している。これにより、付勢伝達体30aのガタつきを抑えることもできる。   The details of the through holes 21a and 21b of the seal member 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12 by taking a sectional view of the through hole 21a as an example. As shown in FIG. 11 (as in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 9), the peripheral edge 29a of the through hole 21a is directed toward the operation switch knob 10 (that is, pressed) compared to the other parts of the seal member 20. A projecting portion that projects continuously or intermittently toward the circumferential direction of the through hole 21a in a form in which the diameter of the hole continuously or intermittently shrinks (or the direction opposite to the direction in which the force is transmitted) is formed. Part). The peripheral edge portion 29a is in contact with the upper end portion 31a of the urging transmission body 30a inserted through the through hole 21a with elasticity. Thereby, the play of the urging | biasing transmission body 30a can also be suppressed.

図12のように、揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動端11aに押圧操作が加わると、付勢伝達体30aの上端部31aが、タクトスイッチ40aの方向へ移動する。このとき、付勢伝達体30a(端部31a)と周縁部29aとの当接面Pにおいて生ずる摩擦力が、付勢伝達体30aに印加される押圧付勢力よりも大きくなるように、シール部材20および付勢伝達体30aの材質を選定することで、周縁部29aは上端部31a上を滑ることなく当接した状態を保って弾性変形する。これにより、周縁部29aと上端部31aとの間に空隙が生じ防水性を損なうことを防止できる。   As shown in FIG. 12, when a pressing operation is applied to the swing end 11a of the swing switch knob 10, the upper end portion 31a of the urging transmission body 30a moves in the direction of the tact switch 40a. At this time, the seal member is configured so that the frictional force generated on the contact surface P between the urging transmission body 30a (end portion 31a) and the peripheral edge portion 29a is larger than the pressing urging force applied to the urging transmission body 30a. By selecting the material of 20 and the urging transmission body 30a, the peripheral edge portion 29a is elastically deformed while maintaining a contact state without sliding on the upper end portion 31a. Thereby, it can prevent that a space | gap arises between the peripheral part 29a and the upper end part 31a, and impairs waterproofness.

図13に、揺動スイッチノブ10の内側(下側)の模式図を示す。また、図14に揺動スイッチノブ10の側面図を示す。揺動スイッチノブ10の内側(下側)には、シール部材20の上面凸部22a,22bを押圧付勢するための突起部13a,13bが設けられている。図15に突起部13a周辺における揺動スイッチノブ10の長手方向の断面図を示す。図15においては、筐体50は省いてある。このように、揺動スイッチノブ10からシール部材20に押圧付勢力が常時印加されていることで、シール部材20の筐体への装着を確実なものとしている。無論、この押圧付勢力は、揺動スイッチノブ10の動作に影響を及ぼさないものとなっている。   FIG. 13 shows a schematic diagram of the inside (lower side) of the swing switch knob 10. FIG. 14 shows a side view of the swing switch knob 10. On the inner side (lower side) of the swing switch knob 10, projections 13a and 13b for pressing and urging the upper surface convex portions 22a and 22b of the seal member 20 are provided. FIG. 15 shows a longitudinal sectional view of the swing switch knob 10 around the protrusion 13a. In FIG. 15, the housing 50 is omitted. As described above, the pressing biasing force is constantly applied from the swing switch knob 10 to the seal member 20, so that the mounting of the seal member 20 to the housing is ensured. Of course, this pressing biasing force does not affect the operation of the swing switch knob 10.

揺動スイッチノブ10の一方の揺動端11a,11bが押圧付勢されたとき、対応する上面凸部22a,22bは、突起部13a,13bにより押圧された方向にさらに弾性変形する(図16は揺動端11aを押圧した場合)。そして、揺動端(11a,11b)が押圧付勢されなくなると、上面凸部22a,22bの弾性変形時の復元力により、揺動スイッチノブ10は元の位置(中立位置)に戻る。   When one of the oscillating ends 11a and 11b of the oscillating switch knob 10 is pressed and biased, the corresponding upper surface convex portions 22a and 22b are further elastically deformed in the direction pressed by the projecting portions 13a and 13b (FIG. 16). (When the rocking end 11a is pressed). When the rocking ends (11a, 11b) are no longer pressed and biased, the rocking switch knob 10 returns to the original position (neutral position) by the restoring force at the time of elastic deformation of the upper surface convex portions 22a, 22b.

また、揺動スイッチノブ10(突起部13a,13b)が、シール部材の凸部22a,22bに押圧付勢された状態で、筐体50に取り付けられていることにより、揺動スイッチノブ10の押圧時のガタつき、車両走行時の揺動スイッチノブ10の振動およびその振動によって発生する騒音を抑えることができる。さらに、ユーザに対し適度な押し応えを感じさせることもできる。   Further, the swing switch knob 10 (projections 13a and 13b) is attached to the housing 50 in a state of being pressed and urged by the convex portions 22a and 22b of the seal member. It is possible to suppress rattling at the time of pressing, vibration of the swing switch knob 10 during traveling of the vehicle, and noise generated by the vibration. Further, it is possible to make the user feel a moderate response.

図17を用いて、本発明に係る揺動スイッチユニット1の実施例の別例について説明する。なお、本実施例は、上述の実施例1の変形例であるため、同一の構成のものについては同一の符号を付与し、ここでの詳細な説明は割愛する。   Another example of the embodiment of the swing switch unit 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, since a present Example is a modification of the above-mentioned Example 1, it attaches | subjects the same code | symbol about the thing of the same structure, and omits detailed description here.

図21の上面図のように、開口部55を覆うシール部材201は、上述の実施例のシール部材20とほぼ同じ構成で、相違点は貫通孔(21a,21b)がないことである。つまり、シール部材201は、開口部55の全面を覆って、水などの液体の浸入を防止している。   As shown in the top view of FIG. 21, the seal member 201 covering the opening 55 has substantially the same configuration as the seal member 20 of the above-described embodiment, and the difference is that there are no through holes (21a, 21b). That is, the seal member 201 covers the entire surface of the opening 55 and prevents the intrusion of a liquid such as water.

また、付勢伝達体30a,30bの上端部31a,31bの形状は、円柱形状でなくてもよく、多角柱形状でもよい。   Moreover, the shape of the upper end portions 31a and 31b of the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b may not be a columnar shape but may be a polygonal column shape.

図17のように、揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動端11a,11bは、シール部材201の上面と常に接触した状態、あるいは予め定められた間隙を設けて配置されている。また、付勢伝達体30a,30bの上端部31a,31bも、シール部材201の下面と常に接触した状態、あるいは予め定められた間隙を設けて配置されている。また、シール部材201の厚みは、揺動端11a,11bおよび上端部31a,31bが当接する部分(図21の25)を、他の部分(図21の24a,24b)よりも薄くすれば(すなわち、図6で貫通孔21a,21bに相当する箇所も周囲と同じ厚さとしたとき)、揺動端11a,11bからの押圧付勢力を、効率よく付勢伝達体30a,30bへ伝達することができる。   As shown in FIG. 17, the swinging ends 11 a and 11 b of the swinging switch knob 10 are arranged so as to be always in contact with the upper surface of the seal member 201 or with a predetermined gap. Further, the upper end portions 31a and 31b of the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b are also arranged in a state in which they are always in contact with the lower surface of the seal member 201 or provided with a predetermined gap. Further, the thickness of the seal member 201 is such that the portion (25 in FIG. 21) where the swinging ends 11a and 11b and the upper end portions 31a and 31b abut is thinner than the other portions (24a and 24b in FIG. 21) ( That is, when the portions corresponding to the through holes 21a and 21b in FIG. 6 have the same thickness as the surroundings), the pressing biasing force from the swinging ends 11a and 11b is efficiently transmitted to the biasing transmission bodies 30a and 30b. Can do.

揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動端11a,11bが、シール部材201の上面と常に接触した状態で配置されていれば、図13,図15の揺動スイッチノブ10の構造と合わせて、防振・防音の効果を期待できる。また、付勢伝達体30a,30bの上端部31a,31bが、シール部材201の下面と常に接触した状態配置されていれば、同様の効果を期待できる。   If the rocking ends 11a and 11b of the rocking switch knob 10 are always in contact with the upper surface of the seal member 201, the vibration isolating is combined with the structure of the rocking switch knob 10 shown in FIGS.・ We can expect soundproofing effect. Further, if the upper end portions 31a and 31b of the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b are arranged in a state where they are always in contact with the lower surface of the seal member 201, the same effect can be expected.

上記構成において、揺動スイッチノブ10の一方の揺動端11a,11bが押圧付勢されたとき、その押圧付勢力がシール部材201を介して、対応する付勢伝達体30a,30bに伝達され、付勢伝達体30a,30bの下端部32a,32bが、対応するタクトスイッチ40a,40bの先端部41a,41bを押圧付勢する。   In the above configuration, when one of the swinging ends 11a and 11b of the swing switch knob 10 is pressed and biased, the pressing biasing force is transmitted to the corresponding biasing transmission bodies 30a and 30b via the seal member 201. The lower end portions 32a and 32b of the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b press and urge the tip portions 41a and 41b of the corresponding tact switches 40a and 40b.

図18を用いて、本発明に係る揺動スイッチユニット1の実施例の別例について説明する。なお、本実施例は、上述の実施例2の変形例であるため、同一の構成のものについては同一の符号を付与し、ここでの詳細な説明は割愛する。   With reference to FIG. 18, another example of the embodiment of the swing switch unit 1 according to the present invention will be described. In addition, since a present Example is a modification of the above-mentioned Example 2, it attaches | subjects the same code | symbol about the thing of the same structure, and omits detailed description here.

実施例2と異なるのは、シール部材202は、筐体50の上端の開口部55ではなく、付勢伝達体30a,30bとタクトスイッチ40a,40bの先端部41a,41bとの間の開口面54に、その弾性力により装着されていることである。そして、シール部材202は、開口面54の全面を覆って、水などの液体の浸入を防止している。   The difference from the second embodiment is that the seal member 202 is not the opening 55 at the upper end of the casing 50, but the opening surface between the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b and the tip portions 41a and 41b of the tact switches 40a and 40b. It is attached to 54 by the elastic force. The seal member 202 covers the entire opening surface 54 and prevents the intrusion of a liquid such as water.

また、付勢伝達体30a,30bはシール部材201に挿通されないため、上端部31a,31bはなく、揺動スイッチノブ10の揺動端11a,11bは、付勢伝達体30a,30bの本体部33a,33bと常に接触した状態、あるいは予め定められた間隙を設けて配置されている。   Further, since the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b are not inserted into the seal member 201, there are no upper end portions 31a and 31b, and the oscillating ends 11a and 11b of the oscillating switch knob 10 are the main body portions of the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b. 33a and 33b are always in contact with each other, or are provided with a predetermined gap.

また、付勢伝達体30a,30bの下端部32a,32bは、シール部材202の上面と常に接触した状態、あるいは予め定められた間隙を設けて配置されている。また、タクトスイッチ40a,40bの先端部41a,41bは、シール部材202の下面と常に接触した状態、あるいは予め定められた間隙を設けて配置されている。   Further, the lower end portions 32a and 32b of the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b are arranged in a state where they are always in contact with the upper surface of the seal member 202, or provided with a predetermined gap. Further, the tip portions 41a and 41b of the tact switches 40a and 40b are arranged in a state in which they are always in contact with the lower surface of the seal member 202 or provided with a predetermined gap.

上記構成において、揺動スイッチノブ10の一方の揺動端11a,11bが押圧付勢されたとき、その押圧付勢力が対応する付勢伝達体30a,30b(本体部33a,33b)に伝達され、下端部32a,32bが、シール部材202を介して、押圧付勢力を対応するタクトスイッチ40a,40bの先端部41a,41bに伝達する。シール部材202の厚みは、下端部32a,32bおよび先端部41a,41bが当接する部分を、他の部分よりも薄くすれば、付勢伝達体30a,30bからの押圧付勢力を、効率よくタクトスイッチ40a,40bへ伝達することができる。   In the above configuration, when one of the swinging ends 11a and 11b of the swing switch knob 10 is pressed and biased, the pressing biasing force is transmitted to the corresponding biasing transmission bodies 30a and 30b (main body portions 33a and 33b). The lower end portions 32a and 32b transmit the pressing biasing force to the corresponding tip portions 41a and 41b of the tact switches 40a and 40b via the seal member 202. The thickness of the seal member 202 is such that if the portions where the lower end portions 32a, 32b and the tip portions 41a, 41b abut are made thinner than the other portions, the pressing urging force from the urging transmission bodies 30a, 30b can be efficiently tacted. It can be transmitted to the switches 40a and 40b.

また、シール部材202の上部と付勢伝達体30a,30b(本体部33a,33b)との間に、弾性部材70を配置してもよい。弾性部材70は、揺動スイッチノブ10一方の揺動端11a,11bが押圧付勢されて付勢伝達体30a,30bのいずれかが移動したときに、その付勢伝達体により押圧されて弾性変形する。そして、揺動端(11a,11b)が押圧付勢されなくなると、弾性変形時の復元力により付勢伝達体30a,30bを押し上げ、揺動スイッチノブ10を元の位置(中立位置)に戻す。   Further, the elastic member 70 may be disposed between the upper portion of the seal member 202 and the urging transmission bodies 30a and 30b (main body portions 33a and 33b). The elastic member 70 is elastically pressed by the urging transmission body 30 when one of the oscillating ends 11a, 11b of the oscillating switch knob 10 is pressed and urged to move either of the urging transmission bodies 30a, 30b. Deform. When the rocking ends (11a, 11b) are no longer pressed and biased, the biasing transmission bodies 30a, 30b are pushed up by the restoring force at the time of elastic deformation, and the rocking switch knob 10 is returned to the original position (neutral position). .

本実施例との比較のために、図19に、従来技術による揺動スイッチユニット1の構成例について示す。図18の例と異なるのは、シール部材202のない点のみである(同一の構成については一部の符号を省略)。図19の構成では、揺動スイッチユニット1の上部(すなわち揺動スイッチノブ10の近辺)から水などの液体が筐体50内に浸入すると、タクトスイッチ40a,40bの取り付けられた基板60まで容易に到達してしまう。一方、図18の例では、水などの液体が筐体50内に浸入しても、シール部材202によって基板60の到達を防止できる。   For comparison with the present embodiment, FIG. 19 shows a configuration example of the swing switch unit 1 according to the prior art. 18 is different from the example in FIG. 18 only in that the seal member 202 is not provided (some symbols are omitted for the same configuration). In the configuration of FIG. 19, when a liquid such as water enters the casing 50 from the upper part of the swing switch unit 1 (that is, near the swing switch knob 10), it is easy to reach the substrate 60 to which the tact switches 40a and 40b are attached. Will reach. On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 18, even when a liquid such as water enters the housing 50, the sealing member 202 can prevent the substrate 60 from reaching.

また、図18の例では、シール部材202が付勢伝達体30a,30bの振動を吸収する効果もあるので、付勢伝達体30a,30bあるいは揺動スイッチノブ10のガタつきやそれに伴う騒音の発生を防止することもできる。   In the example of FIG. 18, the seal member 202 also has an effect of absorbing vibrations of the urging transmission bodies 30 a and 30 b. Occurrence can also be prevented.

以上、本発明の実施の形態を説明したが、これらはあくまで例示にすぎず、本発明はこれらに限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲の趣旨を逸脱しない限りにおいて、当業者の知識に基づく種々の変更が可能である。   Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, these are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the knowledge of those skilled in the art can be used without departing from the spirit of the claims. Various modifications based on this are possible.
