Description

この発明は、時計、携帯電話機、携帯端末機などの電子機器に用いられるスイッチ装置およびそれを備えた時計に関する。   The present invention relates to a switch device used in an electronic device such as a watch, a portable telephone, a portable terminal, and a watch including the same.

例えば、腕時計のスイッチ装置においては、特許文献1に記載されているように、腕時計ケースの取付孔に取付パイプを嵌め込み、この取付パイプに釦部材の軸部をスライド可能に挿入し、この取付パイプから外部に突出する釦部材の軸部およびこの軸部の外端部の頭部を防水シートで覆い、この防水シートを腕時計ケースの外面に固定部材によって取り付けることにより、防水性を図った構成のものが知られている。   For example, in a switch device of a watch, as described in Patent Document 1, a mounting pipe is fitted into a mounting hole of a watch case, and a shaft of a button member is slidably inserted into the mounting pipe. The shaft of the button member protruding from the outside and the head of the outer end of the shaft are covered with a waterproof sheet, and the waterproof sheet is attached to the outer surface of the watch case by a fixing member to achieve waterproofness. Things are known.

特開2009−133859号公報JP, 2009-133859, A

この種のスイッチ装置は、防水シートがウレタン樹脂やシリコーン樹脂などの軟質の合成樹脂で形成され、釦部材が押圧操作された際に、その押圧操作に応じて防水シートが弾性変形し、この防水シートの弾性変形に伴って釦部材がスライドすることにより、腕時計ケース内のスイッチ接点をスイッチ動作させるように構成されている。   In this type of switch device, the waterproof sheet is formed of a soft synthetic resin such as urethane resin or silicone resin, and when the button member is pressed, the waterproof sheet is elastically deformed according to the pressing operation, and the waterproofing is performed. By sliding the button member with the elastic deformation of the seat, the switch contact in the watch case is configured to switch.

しかしながら、このようなスイッチ装置では、防水シートの肉厚が厚いと、防水シートが弾性変形し難く、釦部材を押圧操作する際の押圧荷重が重くなるため、釦部材の操作性が低下するという問題がある。また、防水シートの肉厚が薄いと、防水シートが弾性変形し易くなるが、防水シートが破損し易くなるため、防水性を確保することが難しくなるという問題がある。さらに、防水シートが軟質の合成樹脂であるため、防水シートの肉厚が厚くても、また薄くても、劣化し易いという問題がある。   However, in such a switch device, when the thickness of the waterproof sheet is large, the waterproof sheet is difficult to elastically deform and the pressing load when pressing the button member becomes heavy, so that the operability of the button member is lowered. There's a problem. In addition, when the thickness of the waterproof sheet is thin, the waterproof sheet is easily elastically deformed, but the waterproof sheet is easily broken, so there is a problem that it is difficult to secure waterproofness. Furthermore, since the waterproof sheet is a soft synthetic resin, there is a problem that the waterproof sheet is easily deteriorated even if it is thick or thin.

この発明が解決しようとする課題は、防水性を確保し、かつ操作性の向上を図ることができるスイッチ装置およびそれを備えた時計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 capable of securing waterproofness and improving operability, and a timepiece provided with the same.

この発明は、小径孔部および大径孔部を有する貫通孔が設けられたケースと、このケースの前記大径孔部に配置された筒状のガイド部材と、前記ケースの前記小径孔部内にスライド可能に挿入する軸部および前記ガイド部材内にスライド可能に配置される頭部を有する操作部材と、この操作部材の前記頭部の外周面と前記ガイド部材の内周面との間に設けられた防水部材と、前記ガイド部材の内部と外部とを通気する通気部および前記ガイド部材の外周面と前記ケースの前記大径孔部の内周面との間に配置された通気フィルタを通して、前記ガイド部材内の空気と前記ケースの外部の空気とを通気させる通気路と、を備えていることを特徴とするスイッチ装置である。   According to the present invention, there is provided a case provided with a through hole having a small diameter hole portion and a large diameter hole portion, a cylindrical guide member disposed in the large diameter hole portion of the case, and the small diameter hole portion of the case. An operation member having a shaft portion slidably inserted and a head slidably disposed in the guide member, and provided between an outer peripheral surface of the head of the operation member and an inner peripheral surface of the guide member Through a vented portion for ventilating the inside and the outside of the guide member and a ventilation filter disposed between the outer peripheral surface of the guide member and the inner peripheral surface of the large diameter hole portion of the case; It is a switch device characterized by having an air passage which ventilates air in the above-mentioned guide member, and air of the exterior of the above-mentioned case.

この発明によれば、防水部材によってガイド部材の内周面と操作部材の頭部の外周面との間の防水性および気密性を確保することができる共に、通気路の通気部と通気フィルタとによって、ガイド部材内の空気とケースの外部の空気とを通気させることができるので、ガイド部材内の気圧をケースの外部の気圧とほぼ同じに保つことができる。このため、防水部材によって防水性および気密性を確保しても、操作部材の操作性を向上させることができる。   According to the present invention, the waterproofness and airtightness between the inner peripheral surface of the guide member and the outer peripheral surface of the head of the operation member can be secured by the waterproof member, and the ventilation portion of the ventilation passage and the ventilation filter Thus, the air in the guide member can be ventilated with the air outside the case, so that the air pressure in the guide member can be kept substantially the same as the air pressure outside the case. For this reason, even if waterproofness and airtightness are secured by the waterproofing member, the operability of the operation member can be improved.

The first small diameter hole 12 a is formed on the inner side of the main body case 2. The second small diameter hole portion 12 b is formed on the outer side of the main body case 2. An inner diameter of the second small diameter hole 12 b is larger than an inner diameter of the first small diameter hole 12 a and smaller than an inner diameter of the large diameter hole 13. The small-diameter hole 12 is formed such that its axial length is about half the thickness of the side wall of the main case 2.

また、貫通孔10の大径孔部13は、図2および図5に示すように、小径孔部12の第2小径孔部12bの内径よりも大きく形成されている。この大径孔部13は、その軸方向の長さが小径孔部12の軸方向の長さとほぼ同じか、それよりも少し短く形成されている。これにより、貫通孔10は、小径孔部12の第2小径孔部12bと大径孔部13との境界部に段差部15が設けられた構成になっている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the large diameter hole portion 13 of the through hole 10 is formed larger than the inner diameter of the second small diameter hole portion 12 b of the small diameter hole portion 12. The large diameter hole portion 13 is formed such that the axial length thereof is substantially the same as or slightly shorter than the axial length of the small diameter hole portion 12. Thus, the through hole 10 is configured such that the stepped portion 15 is provided at the boundary between the second small diameter hole portion 12 b of the small diameter hole portion 12 and the large diameter hole portion 13.

さらに、貫通孔10の外装孔部14は、図2および図5に示すように、その内径が大径孔部13の内径よりも少し小さく形成されている。この外装孔部14の周囲における円周方向の両側部に位置する外装ケース3の外面には、後述する操作部材11の頭部18を保護する保護突起部16が、腕時計ケース1の外部に向けて突出して設けられている。   Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the exterior diameter 14 of the through hole 10 is formed such that the inside diameter thereof is slightly smaller than the inside diameter of the large diameter diameter portion 13. On the outer surface of the exterior case 3 located on both sides in the circumferential direction around the exterior hole portion 14, a protection projection 16 for protecting the head 18 of the operation member 11 described later faces the outside of the watch case 1. It is provided protruding.

一方、操作部材11は、図2〜図5に示すように、本体ケース2の貫通孔10の小径孔部12にスライド可能に挿入される軸部17と、この軸部17の外端部に設けられて貫通孔10の大径孔部13および外装孔部14の両方の内部に跨った状態でスライド可能に配置される頭部18と、を有している。   On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the operation member 11 has a shaft portion 17 slidably inserted in the small diameter hole portion 12 of the through hole 10 of the main body case 2, and the outer end portion of the shaft portion 17. A head 18 is provided and slidably disposed in a state of straddling the inside of both the large diameter hole portion 13 of the through hole 10 and the exterior hole portion 14.

軸部17は、図2および図5に示すように、その外径が小径孔部12の第1小径孔部12aの内径とほぼ同じ大きさで、軸方向の長さが小径孔部12と大径孔部13との両方の軸方向の長さよりも少し長く形成されている。これにより、軸部17は、貫通孔10の小径孔部12に挿入された際に、その内端部が本体ケース2の内部に突出し、外端部が大径孔部13の外端部に位置するように構成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the shaft portion 17 has an outer diameter substantially the same as the inner diameter of the first small diameter hole portion 12 a of the small diameter hole portion 12 and has an axial length of the small diameter hole portion 12 It is formed to be slightly longer than both axial lengths of the large diameter hole portion 13. Thereby, when the shaft portion 17 is inserted into the small diameter hole portion 12 of the through hole 10, the inner end portion thereof protrudes inside the main body case 2, and the outer end portion is at the outer end portion of the large diameter hole portion 13.

Thereby, the shaft portion 17 contacts the inner peripheral surface of the main body case 2 where the retaining member 19 is located around the inner end of the first small diameter hole 12a in the small diameter hole 12 of the through hole 10 By contacting, it is comprised so that it may not get out to the exterior of main body case 2. As shown in FIG.

また、この軸部17は、図2および図5に示すように、その内端部が本体ケース2内の時計モジュール6に設けられたスイッチ接点部6aに接離可能に対応するように構成されている。これにより、軸部17は、頭部18の押圧操作に応じて、内端部が本体ケース2内に突出してスイッチ接点部6aを押圧することにより、スイッチ接点部6aをスイッチ動作させるように構成されている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the shaft portion 17 is configured such that the inner end portion thereof can be brought into contact with and separated from the switch contact portion 6 a provided on the watch module 6 in the main body case 2. ing. Thus, the shaft portion 17 is configured to cause the switch contact portion 6a to switch as the inner end portion projects into the main body case 2 and presses the switch contact portion 6a in response to the pressing operation of the head portion 18. It is done.

さらに、この軸部17は、図2および図5に示すように、その外周面に複数の防水リング20が圧接した状態で摺動するように構成されている。すなわち、複数の防水リング20は、貫通孔10の小径孔部12における第2小径孔部12b内にそれぞれ環状に設けられている。これにより、複数の防水リング20は、軸部17の外周面に摺動可能に圧接し、この状態で軸部17のスライド動作に伴って軸部17の外周面が摺動するように構成されている。   Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the shaft portion 17 is configured to slide in a state in which a plurality of waterproof rings 20 are in pressure contact with the outer peripheral surface thereof. That is, the plurality of waterproof rings 20 are annularly provided in the second small diameter hole 12 b of the small diameter hole 12 of the through hole 10. Thereby, the plurality of waterproof rings 20 are slidably press-contacted to the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 17, and in this state, the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 17 slides along with the sliding operation of the shaft portion 17. ing.

また、この軸部17の外端部には、図2〜図4に示すように、頭部18が一体に設けられている。この頭部18は、全体がほぼ円筒状に形成され、貫通孔10の大径孔部13と外装孔部14との両方に跨って配置されるように構成されている。すなわち、この頭部18は、その軸方向の長さが大径孔部13の軸方向の長さと外装孔部14の軸方向の長さとの両方の長さとほぼ同じ長さに形成されている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a head 18 is integrally provided at the outer end of the shaft 17. The head 18 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape as a whole, and is configured to be disposed across both the large diameter hole portion 13 of the through hole 10 and the exterior hole portion 14. That is, the length in the axial direction of the head portion 18 is formed to be substantially the same as the length in the axial direction of the large diameter hole 13 and the length in the axial direction of the exterior hole 14. .

これにより、頭部18は、図2および図5に示すように、軸部17の抜止め部材19が本体ケース2の内周面に当接した際に、大径孔部13内から外装孔部14内に向けて押し出されることにより、頭部18の内端部18aが貫通孔10の段差部15から離れた状態で配置されると共に、頭部18の外端部18bが外装孔部14から腕時計ケース1の外部に向けて押し出されて腕時計ケース1の外部に突出するように構成されている。   Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, when the retaining member 19 of the shaft portion 17 abuts on the inner peripheral surface of the main body case 2, the head portion 18 is an exterior hole from inside the large diameter hole portion 13. By being pushed out into the portion 14, the inner end 18 a of the head 18 is disposed in a state of being separated from the step 15 of the through hole 10, and the outer end 18 b of the head 18 is the exterior hole 14. , And is pushed out to the outside of the watch case 1 so as to protrude to the outside of the watch case 1.

また、この頭部18は、図2および図5に示すように、腕時計ケース1の外部から押し込まれて軸部17の抜止め部材19が本体ケース2の内周面から離れて、軸部17の内端部が時計モジュール6のスイッチ接点部6aを押圧した際に、頭部18の内端部18aが大径孔部13内に押し込まれて段差部15に接近した位置に配置されると共に、頭部18の外端部18bが外装孔部14内に押し込まれた位置に配置されるように構成されている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the head portion 18 is pushed from the outside of the watch case 1 and the retaining member 19 of the shaft portion 17 is separated from the inner circumferential surface of the main body case 2. The inner end 18a of the head 18 is pushed into the large diameter hole 13 and disposed at a position close to the step 15 when the inner end of the head presses the switch contact 6a of the watch module 6. The outer end 18 b of the head 18 is configured to be disposed at a position where it is pressed into the exterior hole 14.

この場合、腕時計ケース1の貫通孔10の大径孔部13内には、図2〜図5に示すように、円筒状のガイド部材21が円筒状の通気フィルタ22を介して装着されている。このガイド部材21は、その内径が頭部18の外径よりも少し大きく、かつ外装孔部14の内径よりも少し小さく形成されている。また、このガイド部材21は、その外径が外装孔部14の内径よりも少し大きく、かつ大径孔部13の内径よりも小さく形成されている。さらに、このガイド部材21は、その軸方向の長さが大径孔部13の軸方向の長さとほぼ同じ長さに形成されている。   In this case, a cylindrical guide member 21 is mounted in the large diameter hole 13 of the through hole 10 of the watch case 1 via a cylindrical ventilation filter 22 as shown in FIGS. . The guide member 21 is formed so that its inner diameter is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the head portion 18 and slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the exterior hole portion 14. Further, the guide member 21 is formed so that the outer diameter thereof is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the exterior hole portion 14 and smaller than the inner diameter of the large diameter hole portion 13. Furthermore, the length in the axial direction of the guide member 21 is formed to be substantially the same as the length in the axial direction of the large diameter hole portion 13.

また、このガイド部材21は、図2および図5に示すように、位置規制部によって貫通孔10の大径孔部13内に位置規制されるように構成されている。この位置規制部は、貫通孔10の小径孔部12と大径孔部13との境界部に位置してガイド部材21の内端部が当接する段差部15と、貫通孔10の大径孔部13の外端部に位置してガイド部材21の外端部が当接する腕時計ケース1の外装ケース3と、を備えている。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the guide member 21 is configured to be position-regulated in the large diameter hole portion 13 of the through hole 10 by the position restricting portion. The position restricting portion is located at the boundary between the small diameter hole portion 12 and the large diameter hole portion 13 of the through hole 10, and the step portion 15 with which the inner end of the guide member 21 abuts. And an outer case 3 of the watch case 1 positioned at the outer end of the portion 13 and in contact with the outer end of the guide member 21.

すなわち、この位置規制部は、図2および図5に示すように、ガイド部材21が大径孔部13内に通気フィルタ22と共に嵌め込まれた際に、ガイド部材21の内端部が貫通孔10の段差部15に当接し、ガイド部材21の外端部が外装ケース3の外装孔部14の内側縁部に当接することにより、ガイド部材21を大径孔部13内に位置規制するように構成されている。   That is, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, when the guide member 21 is fitted into the large diameter hole portion 13 together with the ventilation filter 22, the inner end portion of the guide member 21 passes through the through hole 10. So that the outer end of the guide member 21 abuts on the inner edge of the exterior hole 14 of the exterior case 3, thereby restricting the position of the guide member 21 in the large diameter hole 13.

It is formed of Thereby, the ventilation filter 22 is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the guide member 21 and inserted into the large diameter hole portion 13 together with the guide member 21 in this state, so that the space between the guide member 21 and the large diameter hole portion 13 It is comprised so that it may be fitted in.

この場合、腕時計ケース1の外部側に位置するガイド部材21の外周部には、図2〜図5に示すように、複数の係止突起部21aが円周方向に沿って所定間隔で設けられている。これら複数の係止突起部21aは、その各外周面が大径孔部13の内周面にそれぞれ圧接するように構成されている。これに伴って、腕時計ケース1の外部側に位置する通気フィルタ22には、ガイド部材21の複数の係止突起部21aがそれぞれ係合して外周側に露出する複数の係合溝22aが通気フィルタ22の中間部から外端部に亘って設けられている。   In this case, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, a plurality of locking projections 21 a are provided at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction on the outer peripheral portion of the guide member 21 positioned on the outside of the watch case 1. ing. The plurality of locking projections 21 a are configured such that their respective outer peripheral surfaces are in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the large diameter hole 13. Along with this, in the ventilation filter 22 located on the outside of the watch case 1, the plurality of engagement grooves 22a exposed on the outer peripheral side are engaged with the engagement projections 21a of the guide member 21 respectively. The filter 22 is provided from the middle to the outer end.

このため、ガイド部材21は、図2〜図5に示すように、その複数の係止突起部21aが通気フィルタ22の複数の係合溝22aに嵌合した状態で、ガイド部材21の外周面に通気フィルタ22が装着されることにより、通気フィルタ22の円周方向への回転を規制するように構成されている。   For this reason, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, in the guide member 21, the outer peripheral surface of the guide member 21 with the plurality of locking projections 21 a fitted in the plurality of engaging grooves 22 a of the ventilation filter 22.

これにより、通気路27は、図2および図5に示すように、操作部材11の頭部18が本体ケース2内に向けて押し込まれる際に、ガイド部材21内の空気が、ガイド部材21の内端部に設けられた通気部28を通して通気フィルタ22に送り込まれ、この送り込まれた空気が、通気フィルタ22を通して、ガイド部材21の外端部と外装ケース3の内周面との間から外装孔部14内に送り込まれ、この外装孔部14内に送り込まれた空気が外装孔部14の内周面と頭部18の外周面との間を通して腕時計ケース1の外部に排出されるように構成されている。   As a result, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, when the head 18 of the operation member 11 is pushed into the main body case 2, the air in the guide member 21 of the air passage 27 is the same as that of the guide member 21. The air is fed into the ventilation filter 22 through the ventilation section 28 provided at the inner end, and the introduced air is passed through the ventilation filter 22, and between the outer end of the guide member 21 and the inner peripheral surface of the exterior case 3 The air sent into the hole 14 is discharged to the outside of the watch case 1 through the space between the inner peripheral surface of the outer hole 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the head 18. It is configured.

また、この通気路27は、図2および図5に示すように、操作部材11の頭部18がコイルばね25のばね力によって本体ケース2の外部に向けて押し出される際に、腕時計ケース1の外部の空気が、外装孔部14の内周面と頭部18の外周面との間を通してガイド部材21の外端部と外装ケース3の内周面との間に送り込まれ、この送り込まれた空気が通気フィルタ22を通してガイド部材21の内端部に設けられた通気部28からガイド部材21内に送り込まれるように構成されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, when the head 18 of the operation member 11 is pushed out of the main body case 2 by the spring force of the coil spring 25, The outside air is sent between the outer end of the guide member 21 and the inner peripheral surface of the outer case 3 through the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the exterior hole portion 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the head 18 Air is fed into the guide member 21 from the ventilation portion 28 provided at the inner end of the guide member 21 through the ventilation filter 22.

次に、このような腕時計におけるスイッチ装置8の作用について説明する。
このスイッチ装置8は、通常の状態で、ガイド部材21内に位置する操作部材11の軸部17の外周に沿って配置されたコイルばね25のばね力によって、頭部18が腕時計ケース1の外部に向けて押し出されている。
Next, the operation of the switch device 8 in such a wristwatch will be described.
In the switch device 8, under normal conditions, the head 18 is outside the watch case 1 by the spring force of the coil spring 25 disposed along the outer periphery of the shaft 17 of the operation member 11 located in the guide member 21. It is pushed out towards.

この状態では、本体ケース2の内部に突出している操作部材11の軸部17における内端部に設けられた抜止め部材19が、貫通孔10の第1小径孔部12aにおける内端部の周囲に位置する本体ケース2の内周面に当接する。また、この状態では、操作部材11の頭部18の内端部18aが貫通孔10の段差部15から腕時計ケース1の外部側に離れて、頭部18の外端部18bが第2筒部18から腕時計ケース1の外部に突出している。   In this state, the retaining member 19 provided at the inner end of the shaft portion 17 of the operation member 11 protruding inside the main body case 2 is the periphery of the inner end of the first small diameter hole 12 a of the through hole 10. The inner peripheral surface of the main body case 2 located in Further, in this state, the inner end 18a of the head 18 of the operation member 11 is separated from the stepped portion 15 of the through hole 10 to the outside of the watch case 1, and the outer end 18b of the head 18 is the second cylindrical portion. It projects from 18 to the outside of the watch case 1.

これにより、操作部材11の軸部17の内端部が、時計モジュール6に設けられたスイッチ接点部6aから離れ、このスイッチ接点部6aがオフ状態になっている。この状態で、操作部材11の頭部18をコイルばね25のばね力に抗して押圧操作すると、操作部材11の頭部18がガイド部材21内に押し込まれると共に、軸部17が貫通孔10の小径孔部12内を本体ケース2の内部に向けてスライドする。   As a result, the inner end of the shaft 17 of the operation member 11 is separated from the switch contact 6a provided on the timepiece module 6, and the switch contact 6a is in the OFF state. In this state, when the head portion 18 of the operation member 11 is pressed against the spring force of the coil spring 25, the head portion 18 of the operation member 11 is pushed into the guide member 21 and the shaft portion 17 is the through hole 10. The inside of the small diameter hole portion 12 is slid toward the inside of the main body case 2.

このときには、軸部17の外周面が貫通孔10の第2小径孔部12b内に設けられた複数の防水リング20に圧接した状態で摺動する。同様に、頭部18の外周面に設けられた防水部材24がガイド部材21の内周面に圧接した状態で摺動する。このため、防水部材24によって頭部18の外周面とガイド部材21の内周面との間からガイド部材21内に、腕時計ケース1の外部の水や泥などの異物が浸入することがなく、ガイド部材21内の防水性および気密性が図られる。   At this time, the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 17 slides in a state of being in pressure contact with the plurality of waterproof rings 20 provided in the second small diameter hole portion 12 b of the through hole 10. Similarly, the waterproof member 24 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the head 18 slides in a state of being in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the guide member 21. Therefore, foreign matter such as water or mud outside the watch case 1 does not infiltrate into the guide member 21 from between the outer peripheral surface of the head 18 and the inner peripheral surface of the guide member 21 by the waterproof member 24. Waterproofness and airtightness in the guide member 21 are achieved.

また、このときには、貫通孔10内におけるガイド部材21と操作部材11の頭部18と小径孔部12内の複数の防水リング20とで囲われた領域であるガイド部材21内の空気が、本体ケース2の内部に向けてスライドする頭部18のスライドに応じて、徐々に圧縮されて、空気圧が高くなる。この圧縮された空気は、通気路27を通して腕時計ケース1の外部に排出される。   At this time, the air in the guide member 21 which is an area surrounded by the guide member 21 in the through hole 10, the head 18 of the operation member 11, and the plurality of waterproof rings 20 in the small diameter hole 12 In response to the slide of the head 18 sliding toward the inside of the case 2, the pressure is gradually compressed to increase the air pressure. The compressed air is discharged to the outside of the watch case 1 through the air passage 27.

すなわち、圧縮された空気は、ガイド部材21の内端部に設けられた複数の通気溝である通気部28からガイド部材21の外周面と大径孔部13の内周面との間に配置された通気フィルタ22に送り込まれる。この送り込まれた空気は、通気フィルタ22を通してガイド部材21の外端部と外装ケース3の内面との間から外装孔部14内に送り込まれる。   That is, the compressed air is disposed between the outer circumferential surface of the guide member 21 and the inner circumferential surface of the large diameter hole portion 13 from the ventilation portion 28 which is a plurality of ventilation grooves provided at the inner end portion of the guide member 21 Is fed into the ventilated filter 22. The fed air is fed into the exterior hole portion 14 from between the outer end of the guide member 21 and the inner surface of the exterior case 3 through the ventilation filter 22.

この外装孔部14内に送り込まれた空気は、外装孔部14の内周面と頭部18の外周面との間から腕時計ケース1の外部に排出される。このため、貫通孔10内におけるガイド部材21と操作部材11の頭部18と小径孔部12内の複数の防水リング20とで囲われた領域であるガイド部材21内の空気圧は、頭部18がスライド動作しても、腕時計ケース1の外部の気圧とほぼ同じに保たれる。   The air sent into the exterior hole portion 14 is discharged to the outside of the watch case 1 from between the inner peripheral surface of the exterior hole portion 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the head 18. Therefore, the air pressure in the guide member 21 which is a region surrounded by the guide member 21 in the through hole 10, the head 18 of the operation member 11 and the plurality of waterproof rings 20 in the small diameter hole 12 is the head 18. Even when the sliding movement is performed, the air pressure outside the watch case 1 is kept substantially the same.

これにより、操作部材11の頭部18を押圧操作した際に、貫通孔10内におけるガイド部材21と操作部材11の頭部18と小径孔部12内の複数の防水リング20とで囲われた領域であるガイド部材21内の空気が圧縮されても、操作部材11を円滑にかつ良好にスライドさせることができる。このときには、操作部材11のスライドに伴って軸部17の内端部が本体ケース2内に押し込まれ、この軸部17の内端部によって時計モジュール6のスイッチ接点部6aが押されてオン動作する。   As a result, when the head 18 of the operation member 11 is pressed, the guide member 21 in the through hole 10, the head 18 of the operation member 11, and the plurality of waterproof rings 20 in the small diameter hole 12 are enclosed. Even if the air in the guide member 21 which is a region is compressed, the operation member 11 can be smoothly and favorably slid. At this time, the inner end portion of the shaft portion 17 is pushed into the main body case 2 along with the slide of the operation member 11, and the switch contact portion 6a of the timepiece module 6 is pushed by the inner end portion of the shaft portion 17 Do.

一方、スイッチ接点部6aが押されてオン動作した後は、ガイド部材21内に位置する操作部材11の軸部17の外周に沿って配置されたコイルばね25のばね力によって、頭部18が腕時計ケース1の外部に向けて押し出される。このときには、操作部材11の軸部17が、貫通孔10の小径孔部12内を腕時計ケース1の外部に向けてスライドする。このときにも、軸部17の外周面が小径孔部12の第2小径孔部12bに設けられた複数の防水リング20に圧接した状態で摺動する。   On the other hand, after the switch contact portion 6a is pressed and turned on, the head portion 18 is moved by the spring force of the coil spring 25 disposed along the outer periphery of the shaft portion 17 of the operation member 11 located in the guide member 21. It is pushed out of the watch case 1. At this time, the shaft portion 17 of the operation member 11 slides inside the small diameter hole portion 12 of the through hole 10 toward the outside of the watch case 1. Also at this time, the outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion 17 slides in a state of being in pressure contact with the plurality of waterproof rings 20 provided in the second small diameter hole 12 b of the small diameter hole 12.

また、このときにも、操作部材11の頭部18の外周面に設けられた防水部材24がガイド部材21の内周面に圧接した状態で摺動する。このため、防水部材24によって頭部18の外周面とガイド部材21の内周面との間からガイド部材21内に、腕時計ケース1の外部の水や泥などの異物が浸入することがなく、ガイド部材21内の防水性および気密性が図られる。   Also at this time, the waterproof member 24 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the head 18 of the operation member 11 slides in a state of being in pressure contact with the inner peripheral surface of the guide member 21. Therefore, foreign matter such as water or mud outside the watch case 1 does not infiltrate into the guide member 21 from between the outer peripheral surface of the head 18 and the inner peripheral surface of the guide member 21 by the waterproof member 24. Waterproofness and airtightness in the guide member 21 are achieved.

このときには、貫通孔10内におけるガイド部材21と操作部材11の頭部18と小径孔部12内の複数の防水リング20とで囲われた領域であるガイド部材21内の空気が、腕時計ケース1の外部に向けてスライドする頭部18のスライドに応じて、徐々に膨張して、空気圧が下がる。このように空気圧が徐々に下がる際には、腕時計ケース1の外部の空気が通気路27を通してガイド部材21内に送り込まれる。   At this time, the air in the guide member 21, which is an area surrounded by the guide member 21 in the through hole 10, the head 18 of the operation member 11, and the plurality of waterproof rings 20 in the small diameter hole 12, is the watch case 1. In response to the slide of the head 18 sliding towards the outside, the air pressure gradually decreases and the air pressure drops. Thus, when the air pressure gradually decreases, the air outside the watch case 1 is fed into the guide member 21 through the air passage 27.

すなわち、腕時計ケース1の外部の空気は、外装孔部14の内周面と頭部18の外周面との間からガイド部材21の外端部と外装ケース3の内面との間に取り込まれ、この取り込まれた空気は、通気フィルタ22に送り込まれる。この通気フィルタ22に送り込まれた空気は、通気フィルタ22を通してガイド部材21の内端部に設けられた複数の通気溝である通気部28からガイド部材21内に送り込まれる。   That is, the air outside the watch case 1 is taken in between the outer end portion of the guide member 21 and the inner surface of the outer case 3 from between the inner circumferential surface of the exterior hole 14 and the outer circumferential surface of the head 18. The taken-in air is sent to the ventilation filter 22. The air fed into the ventilation filter 22 is fed through the ventilation filter 22 into the guide member 21 from the ventilation portion 28 which is a plurality of ventilation grooves provided at the inner end of the guide member 21.

これにより、貫通孔10内におけるガイド部材21と操作部材11の頭部18と小径孔部12内の複数の防水リング20とで囲われた領域であるガイド部材21内の空気圧は、腕時計ケース1の外部の空気が頭部18がスライド動作に伴ってガイド部材21内に取り込まれることにより、頭部18がスライド動作しても、腕時計ケース1の外部の気圧とほぼ同じに保たれる。   As a result, the air pressure in the guide member 21, which is an area surrounded by the guide member 21 in the through hole 10, the head 18 of the operation member 11 and the plurality of waterproof rings 20 in the small diameter hole 12, The air outside is taken into the guide member 21 as the head 18 slides, so that even if the head 18 slides, it is kept substantially the same as the air pressure outside the watch case 1.

このため、コイルばね25のばね力によって操作部材11が元の位置に戻る際には、貫通孔10内におけるガイド部材21と操作部材11の頭部18と小径孔部12内の複数の防水リング20とで囲われた領域であるガイド部材21内の空気が膨張して空気圧が下っても、操作部材11を円滑にかつ良好にスライドさせることができる。このときには、操作部材11のスライドに伴って軸部17の内端部が時計モジュール6のスイッチ接点部6aから離れ、スイッチ接点部6aがオフ状態になる。   For this reason, when the operating member 11 returns to the original position by the spring force of the coil spring 25, the plurality of waterproof rings in the guide member 21 and the head 18 of the operating member 11 in the through hole 10 and the small diameter hole 12 Even if the air in the guide member 21 which is the area enclosed by 20 expands and the air pressure decreases, the operation member 11 can be smoothly and favorably slid. At this time, the inner end of the shaft 17 separates from the switch contact 6a of the timepiece module 6 as the operation member 11 slides, and the switch contact 6a is turned off.

このように、この腕時計のスイッチ装置8によれば、小径孔部12と大径孔部13とを有する貫通孔10が設けられた腕時計ケース1と、大径孔部13に配置された筒状のガイド部材21と、小径孔部12内にスライド可能に挿入する軸部17およびガイド部材21内にスライド可能に配置される頭部18を有する操作部材11と、頭部18の外周面とガイド部材21の内周面との間に設けられた防水部材24と、ガイド部材21の通気部28およびガイド部材21と大径孔部13との間の通気フィルタ22を通して、ガイド部材21内の空気と腕時計ケース1の外部の空気とを通気させる通気路27と、を備えているので、防水性を確保し、かつ操作性の向上を図ることができる。   Thus, according to the switch device 8 of this wristwatch, the watch case 1 provided with the through hole 10 having the small diameter hole 12 and the large diameter hole 13 and the cylindrical shape disposed in the large diameter hole 13 The guide member 21, the shaft portion 17 slidably inserted in the small diameter hole portion 12, the operation member 11 having the head 18 slidably disposed in the guide member 21, the outer peripheral surface of the head 18 and the guide The air in the guide member 21 passes through the waterproof member 24 provided between the inner circumferential surface of the member 21 and the ventilation portion 28 of the guide member 21 and the ventilation filter 22 between the guide member 21 and the large diameter hole portion 13. And the air passage 27 for ventilating the air outside the watch case 1, the waterproofness can be ensured and the operability can be improved.

すなわち、この腕時計のスイッチ装置8では、防水部材24によってガイド部材21の内周面と操作部材11の頭部18の外周面との間の防水性および気密性を確保することができる共に、通気部28と通気フィルタ22とで構成された通気路27によって、ガイド部材21内の空気と腕時計ケース1の外部の空気とを通気させることができるので、ガイド部材21内の空気圧を腕時計ケース1の外部の気圧とほぼ同じに保つことができる。このため、防水部材24によって防水性および気密性を確保しても、操作部材11の操作性を向上させることができる。   That is, in the switch device 8 of this wristwatch, waterproofness and airtightness between the inner peripheral surface of the guide member 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the head 18 of the operation member 11 can be ensured by the waterproof member 24 Since the air in the guide member 21 and the air outside the watch case 1 can be ventilated by the air passage 27 constituted by the portion 28 and the air filter 22, the air pressure in the guide member 21 can be reduced to that of the watch case 1. It can be kept almost the same as the external pressure. For this reason, even if waterproofness and airtightness are ensured by the waterproof member 24, the operability of the operation member 11 can be improved.

また、このスイッチ装置8では、ガイド部材21内に仮に水などの液体が浸入しても、その浸入した水などの液体を通気フィルタ22の毛細管現象によって腕時計ケース1の外部に排出することができる。このため、ガイド部材21内に水などの液体が溜まることがないので、防錆効果があるほか、操作部材11の操作性を、より一層、確保することができ、これにより操作部材11を良好にかつ円滑に操作させることができる。   Further, in the switch device 8, even if liquid such as water infiltrates into the guide member 21 temporarily, the liquid such as water which has penetrated can be discharged to the outside of the watch case 1 by the capillary phenomenon of the ventilation filter 22. . For this reason, since a liquid such as water does not accumulate in the guide member 21, there is an antirust effect, and the operability of the operation member 11 can be further secured, whereby the operation member 11 is excellent. Operation smoothly.

この場合、通気部28は、操作部材11の頭部18がガイド部材21内に押し込まれた際に、頭部18の内端部18aよりも腕時計ケース1の内部側に位置するガイド部材21の箇所、つまりガイド部材21の内端部に設けられていることにより、操作部材11の頭部18がガイド部材21内をスライドしても、頭部18によって通気部28が塞がれることがない。このため、操作部材11の頭部18のスライド動作に応じて、ガイド部材21内の空気と腕時計ケース1の外部の空気とを確実にかつ良好に通気することができる。   In this case, when the head portion 18 of the operation member 11 is pushed into the guide member 21, the ventilation portion 28 is located at the inner side of the watch case 1 with respect to the inner end 18 a of the head portion 18.

また、この通気路27は、図6に示すように、操作部材11の頭部37がコイルばね25のばね力によって本体ケース2の外部に向けて押し出される際に、腕時計ケース1の外部の空気が、外装孔部14の内周面と頭部37の外周面との間を通して外装孔部14内に送り込まれ、この送り込まれた空気がガイド部材35の外端部と外装ケース3の内周面との間を経てフランジ部40の複数の切欠き部40aから通気フィルタ36に送り込まれ、この通気フィルタ36を通してガイド部材35の内端部に設けられた通気部28からガイド部材35内に送り込まれるように構成されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 6, when the head portion 37 of the operation member 11 is pushed out to the outside of the main body case 2 by the spring force of the coil spring 25, the air passage 27 is air outside the watch case 1. The air is sent into the exterior hole 14 through the gap between the inner peripheral surface of the exterior hole 14 and the outer peripheral surface of the head 37, and the sent-in air is sent to the outer end of the guide member 35 and the inner periphery of the outer case 3 The air is fed into the ventilation filter 36 from a plurality of notches 40a of the flange portion 40 through the gap with the surface, and is fed into the guide member 35 from the ventilation portion 28 provided at the inner end of the guide member 35 through the ventilation filter 36. It is configured to be

また、このガイド部材35は、第1実施形態と同様、その軸方向の位置が位置規制部によって位置規制されている。すなわち、この位置規制部も、ガイド部材21の内端部が当接する貫通孔10の段差部15と、ガイド部材35のフランジ部40の外端面が当接する外装孔部14の周囲に位置する外装ケース3の内面と、で構成されている。   Further, as in the first embodiment, the position of the guide member 35 in the axial direction is position regulated by the position regulating portion. That is, the position restricting portion is also located at the periphery of the step portion 15 of the through hole 10 in contact with the inner end portion of the guide member 21 and the exterior hole portion 14 in contact with the outer end surface of the flange portion 40 of the guide member 35. And an inner surface of the case 3.

これにより、この位置規制部も、図6および図9に示すように、ガイド部材35の外端部に設けられたフランジ部40が貫通孔10の大径孔部13内に嵌め込まれて、ガイド部材35の内端部が貫通孔10の段差部15に当接し、フランジ部40の外端面が外装孔部14の周囲に位置する外装ケース3の内面に当接することにより、軸方向に移動しないように構成されている。   As a result, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, in this position restricting portion, the flange portion 40 provided at the outer end of the guide member 35 is fitted into the large diameter hole portion 13 of the through hole 10, The inner end portion of the member 35 abuts on the step portion 15 of the through hole 10, and the outer end face of the flange portion 40 abuts on the inner surface of the exterior case 3 located around the exterior hole portion 14, thereby not moving in the axial direction Is configured as.

このような腕時計のスイッチ装置34によれば、第1実施形態と同様、防水部材38によってガイド部材35の内周面と操作部材11の頭部37の外周面との間の防水性および気密性を確保することができる共に、通気部28と通気フィルタ36とフランジ部40の複数の切欠き部40aとで構成された通気路27によって、ガイド部材35内の空気と腕時計ケース1の外部の空気とを通気させることができるので、ガイド部材35内の空気圧を腕時計ケース1の外部の気圧とほぼ同じに保つことができる。このため、防水部材38によって防水性および気密性を確保しても、操作部材11の操作性を向上させることができる。   According to the switch device 34 of such a watch, as in the first embodiment, the waterproofness and airtightness between the inner peripheral surface of the guide member 35 and the outer peripheral surface of the head 37 of the operation member 11 by the waterproof member 38 The air in the guide member 35 and the air outside the watch case 1 can be secured by the air passage 27 constituted by the air vent 28, the air filter 36 and the plurality of notches 40 a of the flange 40. Since the air pressure in the guide member 35 can be kept substantially the same as the air pressure outside the watch case 1. For this reason, even if waterproofness and airtightness are ensured by the waterproofing member 38, the operability of the operation member 11 can be improved.

また、このスイッチ装置34においても、第1実施形態と同様、ガイド部材35内に仮に水などの液体が浸入しても、その浸入した水などの液体を通気フィルタ36の毛細管現象によって腕時計ケース1の外部に排出することができる。このため、ガイド部材35内に水などの液体が溜まることがないので、防錆効果があるほか、操作部材11の操作性を、より一層、確保することができ、これにより操作部材11を良好にかつ円滑に操作させることができる。   Also in the switch device 34, even if liquid such as water infiltrates into the guide member 35 as in the first embodiment, the liquid such as water infiltrated into the watch case 1 by the capillary phenomenon of the ventilation filter 36.
