Description

  The present invention relates to an electronic device capable of switching a control value of a function corresponding to an operation amount to an operation member.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, some electronic devices such as an imaging apparatus have a function of changing a focal length of a photographing optical system, that is, a so-called zoom function. In such an image pickup apparatus, a zoom operation member for performing a zoom function is provided in the image pickup apparatus exterior portion, and when operated in one direction from the initial position (non-operation position), the focal length of the photographing optical system is increased. It is possible to switch to the wide direction. Alternatively, when the operation is performed in the other direction from the initial position, the focal length of the photographing optical system can be switched to the tele direction.

  In recent years, imaging devices that can change the focal length changing speed (zoom speed) in the zoom function from low speed to high speed are also provided. In an imaging apparatus in which the zoom speed can be changed, the zoom speed is generally controlled stepwise from a low speed to a high speed by the amount of movement of the zoom operation member.

  In Patent Document 1, zoom speed switching means for switching the zoom speed according to the amount of movement of the operation member, and the time from when the zoom speed is switched to the time when the zoom speed is switched to another zoom speed. Proposed an image pickup apparatus provided with a load increasing means for increasing the load.

  In recent years, there have been provided imaging devices with enhanced moving image shooting functions as well as still images. Many of these imaging devices also have improved functions for voice recording.For example, in the past, monaural voice recording with a single microphone was the mainstream, but with a plurality of microphones and stereo voice recording, Some of them can record realistic sounds.

JP 2006-304002 A

  However, the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not take into consideration any operation sound generated when the operation member is operated in order to switch the zoom speed.

  For this reason, if an operation sound is generated when the operation member is operated to switch the zoom speed during moving image shooting, the operation sound is recorded as noise. Further, even when a moving image is not being photographed, the operation sound generated when the operation member is operated is an unintended sound for the user and is not preferable.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to reduce an operation sound caused by an operation on an operation member in an electronic device that can switch a control value of a function corresponding to the operation amount on the operation member.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, an electronic apparatus according to the present invention includes an operation member that is rotatable between a predetermined rotation angle from an initial position, and the operation member that is rotated in the initial position. An urging member that urges the operation member to return to the position, a switching unit that switches a control value of a function corresponding to the operation member according to whether the rotation angle of the operation member is equal to or greater than a first angle, and the operation An elastic member that comes into contact with the biasing member when the member is in the initial position, and a state in which the operation member is rotated without coming into contact with the elastic member when the operation member is in the initial position A contact portion that contacts the elastic member, and the contact portion contacts the elastic member before a rotation angle of the operation member exceeds the first angle. .

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, in the electronic device which can switch the control value of the function corresponding to the operation amount to an operation member, the operation sound accompanying the operation to an operation member can be reduced.

Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of an imaging apparatus that is an electronic apparatus according to the present embodiment. FIG. 1A is a perspective view as viewed from the front surface on the subject side, and FIG. It is the perspective view seen from.

  The release button 1 is for instructing the start of the shooting preparation operation and the shooting operation. The zoom lever 2 is for adjusting the zoom magnification in the optical zoom function or the digital zoom function, and switches the zoom magnification changing speed (zoom speed) according to the rotation angle of the zoom lever 2. be able to. That is, the control value of the corresponding function can be switched according to the operation amount to the zoom lever 2. The zoom lever 2 can be rotated from the initial position to a predetermined angle with the center of the release button 1 as the center of rotation. The power button 3 is for switching the power supply of the imaging apparatus between an ON state and an OFF state. The mode dial 4 is for selecting an arbitrary shooting mode from a plurality of shooting modes.

  The irradiation window 5 is for irradiating auxiliary light for automatic focus adjustment control (AF control) when the subject is dark. The light emitting unit 6 irradiates a subject at the time of shooting, and is movable between a use position and a storage position. The photographing lens 7 forms a subject image on an image sensor (not shown). The photographing lens 7 includes a plurality of lens groups including a zoom lens, and realizes an optical zoom function by driving the zoom lens in accordance with the operation of the zoom lever 2.

  The lid 8 covers an insertion port of a recording medium such as a memory card for recording image data obtained by photographing, and covers a battery housed in a battery chamber (not shown). The display unit 9 is for displaying various types of information such as confirmation / reproduction of captured images, imaging conditions, and the like, which are made of liquid crystal, organic EL, or the like. The connector cover 10 protects terminals mounted on the printed circuit board for connection to various external devices.

  The rotary operation dial 11 includes a group of four operation buttons around it, and is used to make various settings before shooting or during image reproduction. The movie button 14 is used to instruct the start of movie shooting and the end of movie shooting. Two holes 12 arranged on the upper surface of the imaging device are holes for stereo microphones, and hole 13 is a hole for speakers.

  2 is an exploded perspective view of the vicinity of the zoom lever 2 of the image pickup apparatus shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from above. FIG. 3 is a view of the vicinity of the zoom lever 2 of the image pickup apparatus shown in FIG. It is a disassembled perspective view.

  First, components that are assembled from above the top cover 18 that is a holding member that holds the zoom lever 2 will be described. A metallic cap 15 such as stainless steel is fixed to the outer surface of the release button 1 by adhesion or the like. A coil spring 16 is disposed on the inner surface side (top cover side) of the release button 1. The coil spring 16 is assembled so as to be sandwiched between the release button 1 and the zoom lever 2, and is assembled in a state where the claw portion of the release button 1 is hooked in the hole of the zoom lever 2. A shaft 2c provided on the inner surface side (zoom lever side) of the zoom lever 2 is inserted into the hollow elastic member 17. The elastic member 17 is provided with a cylindrical portion 17a, which will be described later, and extending portions 17b and 17c having openings.

  Next, components assembled from below the top cover 18 will be described. A biasing spring 19, which is a biasing member that biases the zoom lever 2 so as to return the rotated zoom lever 2 to the initial position, is pressed by a pressing plate 20 and screwed to the top cover 18.

  The retaining member 22 that plays the role of retaining the zoom lever 2 in the rotation axis direction is fixed to the zoom lever 2 by heat caulking with the top cover 18 interposed therebetween. The contact brush 23 is also fixed to the retaining member 22 by heat caulking.

  Therefore, when the zoom lever 2 is rotated, the elastic member 17, the retaining member 22, and the contact brush 23 are also rotated integrally with the zoom lever 2.

  The flexible substrate 24 is provided with a pattern for contacting the contact brush 23 and transmitting a signal, and a switch for transmitting a signal indicating that the power button 3 or the release button 1 is operated is also mounted. The flexible substrate 24 is positioned on the holder 25 and fixed to the holder 25 with a double-sided tape or the like. The holder 25 is positioned on the top cover 18 and fixed to the top cover 18 with screws.

  Various parts as described above are assembled to the top cover 18 to form a top cover unit.

  FIG. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the top cover unit. As described above, the zoom lever 2 and the retaining member 22 are fixed with a gap for the zoom lever 2 to rotate with the top cover 18 interposed therebetween. Further, the elastic member 17 into which the shaft 2c of the zoom lever 2 is inserted is also blocked by the retaining member 22, so that it does not come out of the zoom lever 2.

  FIG. 5 is a view showing a state in which the zoom lever 2, the urging spring 19, and the elastic member 17 are assembled to the top cover 18. In FIG. 5, the zoom lever 2 is in the initial position, and the tip portions 19 a and 19 b of the urging spring 19 are in contact with and sandwiched with the cylindrical portion 17 a of the elastic member 17. Further, the intermediate portions 19 c and 19 d of the urging spring 19 are in contact with and sandwiched with the shaft portion 18 a of the top cover 18. Thus, regardless of which direction the zoom lever 2 rotates, one arm of the biasing spring 19 abuts against the elastic member 17 and the other abuts against the shaft portion 18a. It is urged to return to the position.

  When the zoom lever 2 is rotated in the direction B or C in the figure, the opening ends 18d, 18e of the top cover 18 and the protrusions 2a, 2b of the zoom lever 2 come into contact with each other, and the zoom lever 2 rotates. The movement range (maximum rotation angle) is restricted. That is, the open ends 18d and 18e function as a restricting portion that restricts the rotation range of the zoom lever 2, and the zoom lever 2 can be rotated between predetermined rotation angles from the initial position. The top cover 18 has an opening end 18b which is a contact portion that contacts the extended portions 17b and 17c of the elastic member 17 before the opening ends 18d and 18e contact the protruding portions 2a and 2b. , 18c are provided. Open ends 18b and 18c, which are abutting portions that abut against the extending portions 17b and 17c of the elastic member 17, respectively, are provided. As will be described later, the extending portions 17b and 17c and the open ends 18b and 18c do not contact each other when the zoom lever 2 is in the initial position, but contact each other when the zoom lever 2 is rotated.

  And the extension parts 17b and 17c have the opening parts 17d and 17e for reducing the collision sound when contacting the opening ends 18b and 18c, respectively.

  FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along a dotted line (AA) in FIG. As described above, in the state where the zoom lever 2 is in the initial position, the tip end portions 19a and 19b of the biasing spring 19 sandwich the cylindrical portion 17a of the elastic member 17.

  The extending portions 17 b and 17 c of the elastic member 17 extend in the rotation direction of the zoom lever 2 with the center of the elastic member 17 interposed therebetween. That is, the extending direction of the extending portions 17b and 17c and the rotating direction of the zoom lever 2 are substantially the same. Therefore, the ends of the extending portions 17b and 17c and the center of the elastic member 17 are not aligned on a straight line.

  Furthermore, the extending portions 17b and 17c have a slope shape in which the thickness in the rotation axis direction decreases toward the tip in the extending direction. Therefore, a space can be provided between the zoom lever 2 and the zoom lever 2. When the zoom lever 2 is rotated to the limit of the rotation range (maximum rotation angle), the extension portions 17b and 17c are compressed, but if there is no escape portion of the extension portions 17b and 17c, the rotation range. There is a possibility that a state where it cannot be rotated to the limit of the above will occur. However, since the extending portions 17b and 17c have a slope shape, a space that becomes a relief portion can be secured when the extending portions 17b and 17c are compressed, and the rotating portion cannot be rotated to the limit of the rotating range. The state will not occur.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the contact brush 23 and the flexible substrate 24 that are involved in changing the zoom speed. There are two contact brushes 23, one pair of brushes (23a, 23b) at the tip, and when the zoom lever 2 is in the initial position, the tips 23a and 23b of the contact brush 23 are both patterns 24a on the flexible substrate 24. In contact with. When the contact brush 23 moves with the rotation of the zoom lever 2 and the tip portions 23a, 23b come into contact with the patterns 24a, 24c or 24a, 24d, the control unit (not shown) zooms at the first speed. Change the magnification. Note that the zoom magnification change direction (change to the wide direction or change to the tele direction) when the tip portions 23a and 23b are in contact with the patterns 24a and 24c and when the tip portions 23a and 23b are in contact with the patterns 24a and 24d. Is different).

  When the zoom lever 2 is further rotated and the tip portions 23a, 23b come into contact with the patterns 24a, 24b or 24a, 24e, the control unit (not shown) changes the zoom magnification by setting the zoom speed to the second speed. That is, the control unit can switch the zoom speed according to the rotation angle of the zoom lever 2. Note that the second speed is preferably higher than the first speed so that the larger the rotation angle of the zoom lever 2 is, the faster the zoom speed becomes.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a state change when the zoom lever 2 is rotated. In FIG. 8, the states of the zoom lever 2, the elastic member 17, and the biasing spring 19 when the zoom lever 2 is rotated in the B direction in the drawing are indicated by B-0 to B-3. The state of the contact brush 23 at the same rotation angle as B-0 to B-3 is indicated by B′-0 to B′-3, respectively.

  In FIG. 8, B-0 indicates a state in which the zoom lever 2 is at the initial position, and B-1 rotates the zoom lever 2 in the B direction to a position where the zoom magnification is changed at the first speed. Indicates the state.

  B-2 shows a state in which the zoom lever 2 is further rotated in the B direction from the state of B-1. In the state B-2, the extended portion 17b of the elastic member 17 abuts against the opening end 18b of the top cover 18 and is compressed so that the opening 17d of the extended portion 17b is crushed. 2a is not in contact with the open end 18d. At this rotation angle (first angle), the contact brush 23 starts to contact the patterns 24a and 24e of the flexible substrate 24, and the zoom magnification is switched from the first speed to the second speed. That is, before the rotation angle of the zoom lever 2 exceeds the first angle, the opening end 18b and the extending portion 17b contact each other, and depending on whether the rotation angle of the zoom lever 2 is equal to or greater than the first angle. The zoom speed is switched.

  In this way, when the zoom lever 2 is rotated, the extension portion 17b contacts the opening end 18b before the protruding portion 2a contacts the opening end 18d. Therefore, the zoom lever 2 is moved to the limit of the rotation range. It is possible to reduce the collision sound between the protruding portion 2a and the opening end 18d when it is rotated. Further, since the extension 17b has an opening 17d, and the opening 17d is crushed even if the extension 17b contacts the opening end 18b, the extension 17b and the opening end 18b contact each other. The impact noise between the extension 17b and the opening end 18b can be reduced while suppressing a significant increase in the load.

  Further, when the zoom lever 2 is further rotated in a state where the opening portion 17d is crushed, the zoom lever 2 is biased in a direction to return to the initial position by the restoring force of the elastic member 17. That is, since the urging force by the elastic member 17 is generated in addition to the urging force by the urging spring 19, the load when the zoom lever 2 is rotated increases. Therefore, by changing the zoom speed with the state shown in B-2 as a boundary, the user can easily grasp the rotation angle at which the zoom speed is changed, and the zoom lever 2 so that the desired zoom speed can be easily obtained. Can be operated.

  In B-3, the zoom lever 2 is further rotated in the B direction from the state B-2, the extending portion 17b of the elastic member 17 contacts the opening end 18b, and the opening 17d of the extending portion 17b is crushed, In addition, the projection 2a of the zoom lever 2 is in contact with the open end 18d. That is, the state shown in B-3 is a state in which the zoom lever 2 is rotated to the maximum rotation angle (second angle) that is the limit of the rotation range.

  Here, the shape of the elastic member 17 in the state of B-3 will be described using a cross-sectional view of the dotted line portion (DD) shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the extending portion 17 b of the elastic member 17 has a slope shape in which the thickness in the rotation axis direction decreases toward the distal end in the extending direction. A space is generated between the retaining member 22 and the zoom lever 2. In the state of B-3, as shown by the dotted line E in FIG. 9, the extension portion 17 b is compressed, and the tip portion escapes into the space formed between the zoom lever 2 retaining member 22 and the zoom lever 2. Yes. Therefore, even when the elastic member 17 is compressed, the zoom lever 2 can be rotated to a rotation angle at which the protrusion 2a of the zoom lever 2 contacts the opening end 18d.

  In FIG. 8, when the rotation operation of the zoom lever 2 is stopped from the state of B-3, the zoom lever 2 is immediately returned to the state of B-0 by the urging force of the urging spring 19. At this time, before the intermediate portion 19c of the urging spring 19 contacts the shaft portion 18a of the top cover 18, the tip 19b of the urging spring 19 contacts the cylindrical portion 17a of the elastic member 17, so that the intermediate portion 19c The collision sound with the shaft portion 18a can also be reduced.

  Although FIG. 8 shows only the state change when the zoom lever 2 is rotated in the B direction, the state change when the zoom lever 2 is rotated in the direction opposite to the B direction is the same. Description is omitted.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the elastic member 17 that increases the load when operating the zoom lever 2 suppresses the impact at the time of collision of each part associated with the operation of the zoom lever 2, thereby moving the zoom lever 2. The operation sound generated by the operation can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the elastic member 17 increases the load when operating the zoom lever 2 in accordance with the change of the zoom speed, and reduces the operation sound generated by the operation of the zoom lever 2. Therefore, there is no need to provide a member for increasing the load when operating the zoom lever 2 and a member for reducing the operation sound caused by the operation of the zoom lever 2, and to suppress an increase in the number of parts. Can do.

(Second Embodiment)
In the first embodiment, the elastic member 17 that rotates along with the rotation of the zoom lever 2 increases the load when operating the zoom lever 2 and reduces the operation sound that occurs due to the operation of the zoom lever 2. The configuration to be explained was explained. In the present embodiment, the elastic member 112 that does not rotate with the rotation of the zoom lever 2 increases the load when operating the zoom lever 2 and reduces the operation sound caused by the operation of the zoom lever 2. Will be described.

  FIG. 10 is an external perspective view of an imaging apparatus that is an electronic apparatus according to the present embodiment. Although the shape of the imaging apparatus according to the present embodiment is different from that of the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment, in FIG. 10, a portion that performs the same function as the imaging apparatus according to the first embodiment is illustrated in FIGS. The same reference numerals as those in FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a structure in the vicinity of the zoom lever 2 of the imaging apparatus according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 11A is a diagram of the vicinity of the zoom lever 2 as viewed from below, and FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view taken along a dotted line (BB) shown in FIG. An axis n shown in FIG. 11B is a rotation axis that is a rotation center of the zoom lever 2.

  The zoom lever 2 is inserted into the through hole of the main body member 113 and is fixed to the rotating body 111 with a screw 114 so as to be rotatable with respect to the main body member 113. That is, the rotating body 111 rotates integrally with the zoom lever 2 when the zoom lever 2 is rotated. The urging spring 110 is held by the rotating body 111 so as to be rotatable and slidable by a spring hooking claw portion 111 b of the rotating body 111. The cylindrical elastic member 112 is sandwiched between a pair of arms of the biasing spring 110 when the stopper 113b provided on the main body member 113 is inserted and the zoom lever 2 is in the initial position. The rotating body 111 is provided with a stopper abutting portion 111a. When the zoom lever 2 is rotated, the stopper abutting portion 111a abuts against the stopper 113b via the elastic member 112. The movement range is regulated.

  The elastic member 112 includes a spring contact portion 112a that contacts the biasing spring 110 and a rotating body contact portion 112b that has a space between the stopper 113b and contacts the stopper contact portion 111a.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the zoom lever 2 of the imaging apparatus according to the present embodiment is rotated, and FIG. 12A illustrates the vicinity of the zoom lever 2 in a state in which the zoom lever 2 is rotated. It is the figure seen from. 12 (b) is a cross-sectional view of the dotted line portion (CC) shown in FIG. 12 (a), and FIG. 12 (c) is an enlarged view of the vicinity of the elastic member 112 in FIG. 12 (b). FIG.12 (d) is sectional drawing of the dotted-line part (DD) shown to Fig.12 (a).

  As shown in FIG. 12A, when the zoom lever 2 is rotated, the stopper contact portion 111a of the rotating body 111 and the rotating body contact portion 112b of the elastic member 112 are in contact. When the zoom lever 2 is further rotated from this state, the rotating member abutting portion 112b is compressed by being pushed by the stopper abutting portion 111a, and the urging spring 110 is deformed by the spring hooking portion 111c of the rotating body 111. In addition to the urging force, the urging force by the elastic member 112 is generated. At this time, the space between the rotating body contact portion 112b and the stopper 113b performs the same function as the openings 17d and 17e of the extending portions 17b and 17c in the first embodiment. Moreover, as shown in FIG.12 (d), the elastic member 112 has the notch-shaped buffer part 112c.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the zoom lever 2 is rotated to the limit of the rotation range. 13A is a view of the vicinity of the zoom lever 2 as viewed from below, and FIG. 13B is a cross-sectional view taken along the dotted line (EE) shown in FIG. 13A. (C) is sectional drawing of the dotted-line part (FF) shown to Fig.13 (a).

  In a state in which the zoom lever 2 is rotated to the limit of the rotation range, as shown in FIG. 13B, the space between the rotating body contact portion 112b and the stopper 113b is crushed and the stopper contact portion 111a. Abuts against the stopper 113b via the elastic member 112. At this time, as shown in FIG. 13C, the structure is such that the rotating body abutting portion 112b bent due to the collapse of the space between the rotating body abutting portion 112b and the stopper 113b is released to the buffer portion 112c. ing. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of such a problem that the rotating body abutting portion 112b is bent in an unexpected direction and is sandwiched between the rotating bodies 111.

  It should be noted that the rotating member abutting portion 112b is bent to the rotating body 111 by moving the position of the buffer portion 112c away from the rotation center of the zoom lever 2 than the position of the rotating member contacting portion 112b with which the stopper contacting portion 111a contacts. It is possible to further prevent a problem such as being caught.

  Further, by making the thickness of the elastic member 112 near the zoom lever 2 thicker than the other portions of the elastic member 112, the rotating member abutting portion 112b is hardly bent in the direction of the zoom lever 2. Can do.

  With the structure of the elastic member 112 as described above, the elastic member 112 can be made difficult to bend in the direction of the zoom lever 2, and the elastic member 112 can be disposed closer to the rotating body 111.

  In addition, since the effect obtained by the elastic member 112 is the same as the effect obtained by the elastic member 17 of the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the buffer portion 112c is notched, but may be any shape as long as the bent rotating body contact portion 112b is allowed to escape in a predetermined direction, for example, a thin shape.

  In the above-described two embodiments, the case where the present invention is applied to a zoom lever used for a zoom operation in the imaging apparatus has been described. However, the present invention may be applied to an operation member used for operation of other functions. For example, in a playback mode in which one of a plurality of images recorded on a recording medium is displayed on the image display unit, the present invention may be applied to an operation member that performs an image feed operation for changing the image to be displayed to the next image. Absent.

  In addition, since it can be applied to an operation member used for an operation of a function that can be executed by an electronic device other than the imaging apparatus, such as the image feed operation described above, control of a function corresponding to an operation amount to the operation member. The present invention can be applied to any electronic device whose value can be switched.
