Description

  The present invention relates to an operating device that reciprocates a moving member to switch an electrical signal, and more particularly to an operating device that can alleviate an impact force and an impact sound when the moving member returns with the biasing force of the biasing member.

The following Patent Documents 1 to 3 disclose push button type operation devices.
In the pushbutton device described in Patent Document 1, a support member is provided on the surface of a circuit board. A pressed portion and a resilient portion are integrally formed of a rubber material on the support member, and a conductor provided on the surface of the circuit board and a contact provided on the lower end surface of the resilient pressure portion are opposed to each other. A push button is supported by the support panel so as to be able to advance and retreat, and the push button is urged by the pressed portion in a direction away from the circuit board. When the push button is pressed, the pressed portion moves together with the push button toward the circuit board, and the conductor and the contact point come into contact and conduct.

  When the pressing operation force to the push button is removed, the push button is returned to the direction away from the circuit board by the bullet portion. The support member is provided with a plate-like tip portion integrally formed of a rubber material, and the tip portion is sandwiched between a stopper formed on a push button that returns and a support panel. Due to the compression deformation of the tip portion, the contact between the stopper and the tip portion becomes soft, and no harsh sound is generated.

  The operating device described in Patent Document 2 is provided with a membrane sheet for returning the push knob, and a plate-like portion is integrally formed on the membrane sheet. When the push operation force to the push knob is released and the push knob returns, a plate-like portion is sandwiched between the flange formed on the push knob and the panel, as in the invention described in Patent Document 1. . Thereby, no impact sound is generated.

  In the button device described in Patent Document 3, the button is urged in a direction away from the substrate by a skirt portion formed in a rubber switch formed of an elastic material. The button is integrally formed with a hook-shaped stopper portion, and this stopper portion is inserted into a through hole formed in the rubber switch. When the pressing operation force on the button is released and the button returns to the direction away from the substrate, the stopper part comes into contact with the rubber switch, thereby suppressing the generation of abnormal noise accompanying the button return. It is.

  In each of the inventions described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, an attempt is made to suppress a collision sound by abutting a push button that returns to the elastic member.

  In both of the inventions described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, when the push button returns, the plate-like elastic member is sandwiched between the push button and the panel and is compressed and deformed. The buffering capacity at this time is determined by the thickness of the plate-like elastic member, the hardness inherent to the elastic material, the compression characteristics, and the like.

  For example, if the mass of the push button is large or if the urging force for returning the push button is large, the thickness dimension of the plate-like elastic member must be increased in order to exert a sufficient cushioning effect. It becomes easy to hinder the thinning of the device. Further, if the hardness of the elastic member is lowered and the impact absorbing ability when the push button is restored is increased, the strength of the elastic member is lowered and the life is likely to be adversely affected. On the contrary, if the hardness is increased, the impact absorbing ability is lowered. Therefore, there is a drawback that it is difficult to select the material of the elastic member for buffering and to design the thickness dimension.

  In the invention described in Patent Document 3, when the button returns, the hook-shaped stopper portion formed integrally with the button hits the plate-shaped membrane sheet. At this time, the plate-like membrane sheet exhibits a buffering force by being slightly bent and deformed. However, bending deformation of a plate-shaped membrane sheet cannot provide sufficient buffering function unless the thickness of the membrane sheet is increased or the hardness is increased, and the membrane sheet becomes brittle and susceptible to damage. .

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an operating device capable of exhibiting a sufficient buffering function by an elastic member when the push button returns.

A braking force is applied by being deformed in the direction to be pressed and pressed against the moving member. Therefore, an effective braking force can be applied to the moving member, and there is no need to make the elastic member thicker than necessary or increase the hardness.

  In the present invention, the first direction and the second direction are directions opposite to each other in the linear direction. In addition, for example, the directions opposite to each other in the direction in which the first direction and the second direction are along the arc. It may be.

  In the present invention, the braking deformation portion is buckled and deformed in a direction intersecting the first direction when pressed in the first direction, and press-contacts the moving member.

In this case, the braking deformation portion includes a wall surface along a first direction and a buckling deformation portion extending from the wall surface and having a distal end portion directed in the second direction. Is provided with a pressing projection facing the gap.
When the moving member reaches the moving end in the second direction, the pressing protrusion is separated from the tip, and when the moving member moves in the first direction, the tip protrudes at the pressing protrusion. Is preferably pressed toward the first direction.

  In the above configuration, when the elastic member is assembled in the first direction with respect to the moving member, or when the moving member is assembled in the second direction with respect to the elastic member, the buckling deformation portion is pressed against the wall surface. Even if it is deformed so as to be sandwiched between the first and second parts, the pressing member is moved away from the tip of the buckling deformation part by moving the moving member in the second direction thereafter, and the buckling deformation part Can be restored to a normal shape.

  Alternatively, in the present invention, the braking deformation portion includes an elastic arm extending in a direction intersecting the first direction, and a pressing portion provided at a tip portion of the elastic arm, The elastic arm may be bent and deformed in the first direction by a moving force in the direction 1, and the elastic portion may be elastically pressed against the moving member.

  In the present invention, the elastic member having the braking deformation portion may be formed integrally with the urging member that urges the moving member in the first direction. An operating body that is deformed by being pushed by the moving member when it moves in the direction of 2 and that conducts between the electrodes is provided, and an elastic member having the braking deformation portion is formed integrally with the operating body. It may be a thing.

In the present invention, when the moving member receives the urging force of the urging member and returns in the first direction, the braking deformation portion receives the force in the first direction of the moving member and intersects the first direction. It is deformed in the direction to be pressed and brought into pressure contact with the moving member to exert a braking force. Therefore, it becomes easy to relieve the impact force and impact sound when the moving member returns.
It is also possible to employ a structure that facilitates assembly work.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the elastic member 50 is integrally formed with support walls 54 and 54 that rise in the Y1 direction from the end portion on the X1 side and the end portion on the X2 side. Wall surfaces 54a and 54a are formed on the inner surface. The wall surfaces 54a and 54a are flat surfaces extending in the Y1-Y2 direction. As shown in FIG. 3B, a gap is provided in the X direction between the tip of the pressing protrusions 35, 35 provided at the end of the moving member 30 on the Y2 side and the wall surfaces 54a, 54a. δx is formed.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the elastic member 50 is integrally formed with two braking deformation portions 55 at the upper end of the support wall 54 on the X1 side, and the braking deformation portion 55 at two positions on the upper end of the support wall 54 on the X2 side. Are integrally formed. The four braking deformation portions 55 are all the same shape and have the same dimensions, and the braking deformation portions 55 face each other symmetrically on the X1 side and the X2 side. As shown in FIG. 3B, the braking deformation portion 55 includes a bending deformation portion 55a that extends from the upper end portion of the support wall 54 and curves in a range of approximately 180 degrees, and a wall surface from the bending deformation portion 55a toward the Y2 direction. 54a and a buckling deformed portion 55b extending substantially in parallel.

Further, the thickness dimension T of the buckling deformed portion 55b is the same as or slightly larger than the gap δx between the pressing protrusion 35 and the wall surface 54a.

  The base portion 51 of the elastic member 50 is provided with four openings 57 penetrating in the Y1-Y2 direction immediately inside each wall surface 54a. As shown in FIG. 3B, when the moving member 30 moves to the end of movement in the Y2 direction, the pressing protrusion 35 enters the inside of the opening 57, and at this time, the inner surface of the holding recess 35a of the pressing protrusion 35 and A gap δy spaced in the Y direction is formed between the tip 55c of the buckling deformed portion 55b.

The assembly of the operating device 1 will be described.
In the operating device 1, after the support 20 is fixed to the panel 2, the moving main body 31 of the moving member 30 is inserted in the Y1 direction toward the inside of the support hole 24 of the support 20. The operation unit 40 is mounted from the Y1 side of the moving member 30, and the connection holes 43 provided at the four locations of the operation unit 40 are latched by the latching protrusions 37 provided at the four locations of the moving body 31, The moving member 30 and the operation unit 40 are integrally connected. The rail portions 32a, 32b, 32c, and 32d provided on the moving member 30 are guided by the guide grooves 25a, 25b, 25c, and 25d of the support 20, and the moving member 30 and the operation portion 40 reciprocate in the Y1-Y2 direction. It becomes movable.

  Next, the elastic member 50 is incorporated in the Y1 direction, and the substrate 60 is incorporated. Alternatively, the elastic member 50 and the substrate 60 are assembled together in a state where the elastic member 50 is fixed to the surface 61 of the substrate 60. The pressing protrusions 35 formed at the four locations of the moving member 30 enter between the support wall 54 formed on the X1 side of the elastic member 50 and the support wall 54 formed on the X2 side. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3A, the pressing protrusion 35 may enter the Y2 side with respect to the tip end portion 55c of the buckling deformation portion 55b of the elastic member 50, but as shown in FIG. The buckling deformation part 55b may be assembled in a state of being sandwiched between the pressing protrusion 35 and the wall surface 54a.

  In this case, when the push button 41 is pressed and the moving member 30 is moved to the end of movement in the Y2 direction, the pressing protrusion 35 is moved from the tip 55c of the buckling deformed portion 55b as shown in FIG. The brake deforming portion 55 is restored to the normal shape. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 3B, the gap δy from the tip 55c of the buckling deformed portion 55b to the pressing protrusion 35 when the moving member 30 reaches the end of movement in the Y2 direction is buckled. It is necessary to set the distance so that the deformable portion 55b can be restored to a normal posture.

  As described above, after the elastic member 50 is assembled, the brake deforming portion 55 can be restored to a normal shape only by pushing the push button 41 once or several times, so that the assembling work is very simple.

  Further, in some products, after the elastic member 50 is fixed to the substrate 60, the moving member 30 is incorporated in the Y2 direction. In this case as well, the moving member 30 is moved in the Y2 direction, so that FIG. Can be resolved.

When operating the operating device 1, the push button 41 is pushed in the Y2 direction.
When the push button 41 is pushed, the operation unit 40 and the moving member 30 move together in the Y2 direction, and the operating body 52 of the elastic member 50 is pushed by the bottom plate portion 36 of the moving member 30 as shown in FIG. Then, the lower end surfaces of the operation protrusions 52 a and 52 a come into contact with the surface 61 of the substrate 60. Then, the electrodes provided on the operation protrusions 52 a and 52 a come into contact with the electrodes provided on the substrate 60.

  When the moving member 30 is pushed in the Y2 direction, the elastic deformation portion 53 is greatly deformed, and a restoring force in the Y1 direction is applied to the moving member 30 and the operation portion 40. When the pressing force in the Y2 direction applied to the push button 41 is removed, the moving member 30 and the operation unit 40 are moved in the Y1 direction by the restoring force of the elastic deformation portion 53. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the stopper portion 33 comes into contact with the abutting portion 26 at the lower end portion of the support body 20, the moving member 30 reaches the end of movement in the Y1 direction. At this time, the operation protrusions 52a and 52a of the elastic member 50 are separated from the surface 61 of the substrate 60, and the electrodes are separated from each other.

  When the moving member 30 moves in the Y1 direction, the pressing protrusion 35 hits the distal end portion 55c of the buckling deformed portion 55b before the stopper portion 33 hits the abutting portion 26, and the restoring force of the moving member 30 in the Y1 direction. Thus, the buckling deformation portion 55b and the bending deformation portion 55a are deformed toward the Y1 direction. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3A, the buckling deformation portion 55b is buckled and deformed so as to swell in the X1 direction, so that the buckling deformation portion 55b is formed on the moving member 30. Pressure contacted.

  As described above, when the pressing protrusion 35 hits the tip 55c of the buckling deformation portion 55b, the buckling deformation portion 55b and the bending deformation portion 55a are first deformed in the Y1 direction, and the elastic repulsive force causes the moving member 30 to move. A braking force is applied, and in addition, the braking force is further applied by the buckling deformation portion 55 b being pressed against the braking contact portion 34. The two-stage braking action reduces the moving speed of the moving member 30 in the Y1 direction.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a holding recess 35a is formed in the pressing projection 35, and when the pressing projection 35 moves in the Y1 direction, the tip 55c of the buckling deformed portion 55b is placed inside the holding recess 35a. It is held and held. Therefore, when the moving member 30 moves in the Y1 direction, the distal end portion 55c is unlikely to come off from the pressing projection 35, and the buckling deformation portion 55b is likely to buckle and deform as shown in FIG. Thus, the brake contact portion 34 can be reliably pressed against.

  In this way, since the impact when the stopper portion 33 hits the abutting portion 26 can be reduced, generation of unnecessary operation vibration can be suppressed, and furthermore, the impact sound when the stopper portion 33 hits the abutting portion 26 can be reduced. . Further, even when the mass of the moving member 30 and the operation portion 40 is large and the elastic restoring force of the elastic deformation portion 53 of the elastic member 50 is large, the impact can be effectively reduced.

  Since the brake deforming portion 55 provides a two-stage braking force by compressive deformation in the Y1 direction and bending deformation in the X1 direction (buckling deformation), it is not necessary to make the brake deforming portion 55 larger than necessary. It is not necessary to use an elastic material with high hardness.

FIG. 5 shows a part of the operating device 101 according to the second embodiment.
In the operation device 101, the elastic member 150 is fixed to the substrate 160. Similar to the first embodiment, the elastic member 150 is made of a rubber material, and has an operating body 52 having electrodes. A braking deformation portion 151 is integrally formed on the side portion of the elastic member 150. The brake deformation portion 151 is integrally formed so as to extend upward from the movable portion 151b, an elastic arm 151a extending laterally from the elastic member 150, a movable portion 151b integrally formed at the tip of the elastic arm 151a. The repressing portion 151c is provided. The elastic arm 151a and the elastic pressure portion 151c are formed to have a thickness that can be bent and deformed. A through hole 151d is formed in the elastic arm 151a.

  The moving member 130 is formed with a stopper portion 133 and a braking contact portion 134. A hook-shaped pressing projection 135 extends integrally below the braking contact portion 134. The pressing protrusion 135 is inserted into a through hole 151 d formed in the braking deformation portion 151.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, when the moving member 130 is pushed in the Y2 direction, the operating body 52 provided on the elastic member 150 comes into contact with the surface 161 of the substrate 160 and the electrodes come into contact with each other. Further, the pressing protrusion 135 moves in the Y2 direction with respect to the braking deformation portion 151 and enters the opening 162 formed in the substrate 160.

  When the pressing operation force in the Y2 direction on the moving member 130 is released, the moving member 130 is moved in the Y1 direction by the elastic return force of the elastic member 150. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the stopper portion 133 hits the abutting portion 126, the moving member 130 reaches the moving end in the Y1 direction.

  Before the moving member 130 reaches the end of movement, the hook-shaped pressing projection 135 hits the movable portion 151b of the braking deformation portion 151, the elastic arm 151a is bent and deformed, the movable portion 151b moves counterclockwise, and the elastic pressure is applied. The portion 151c is repressed by the braking contact portion 134. Until the stopper 133 hits the abutting portion 126, the elastic arm 151a is moved by the elastic function of both bending and deformation, and the elastic function of the elastic pressure portion 151c sliding on the braking contact portion 134. A braking force is applied to the moving force of the member 130 in the Y1 direction.

  Therefore, it is possible to alleviate the impact when the stopper portion 133 hits the abutting portion 126 and to easily suppress the impact sound.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the push-type operation device having the push button as in the above embodiment, and may be a slide-type operation device or a rotation-type operation device. In the case of the rotation type, the arc trajectory is in the first direction and the second direction, and is biased in any one direction.
