  By the way, if the lever portion can be arranged near a display device such as a display, an operation panel having excellent design and operability can be realized. However, in the above-described switch device, it is necessary to secure a movable space for the arm on both sides in the tilting direction when viewed from the lever. For this reason, even if an attempt is made to install a switch device adjacent to a device, if the device is located in one of the tilting directions, the device will interfere with the arm portion. Could not be placed.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and when a switch device is installed adjacent to a device located in a tilting direction of a lever portion, the lever portion is arranged near the device. It is an object of the present invention to provide a switch device capable of performing the following.

  A switch device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a wiring board, a first switch disposed on one surface of the wiring substrate, a second switch disposed on the other surface of the wiring substrate, and a neutral position. A lever portion that tilts in both directions of a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction, an arm portion that rotates in the forward or reverse direction according to the tilt direction of the lever portion, and a tip portion of the arm portion , A first drive unit provided on the support unit and facing the first switch, and a second drive unit provided on the support unit and facing the second switch, and the lever unit is provided with the first drive unit. When the lever is tilted in the forward direction, the arm rotates in the forward direction, the first driving unit presses the first switch or approaches the first switch, and when the lever is tilted in the second direction, the arm rotates in the reverse direction. The second drive unit presses the second switch or the second It is configured to approach the switch.

  In this switch device, both the first switch and the second switch can be pressed by rotating the arm, or both the first drive unit and the second drive unit are brought closer to the corresponding switches. Can be. Therefore, when the conventional switch device employing the seesaw structure has two arm portions, the switch device described above can have one arm portion. As a result, there is no need to secure a movable space for the arm on at least one tilt direction side. Therefore, according to the above-described switch device, when the switch device is installed adjacent to the device located in the tilting direction of the lever portion, the lever portion can be arranged near the device.

  In the above switch device, the first switch and the second switch may be arranged such that the distance from the rotation axis of the lever unit is equal when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the wiring board.

  According to this configuration, the force applied when the operator tilts the lever in the first direction and the force applied when tilting the lever in the second direction can be made substantially equal. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress a variation in operation feeling during the tilting operation.

  In the above switch device, the first switch and the second switch may be arranged so as to be symmetrical with respect to the wiring board.

  According to this configuration, the first switch and the second switch are arranged back to back, so that the installation space of the two switches as a whole can be reduced.

  In the switch device described above, the first drive unit and the second drive unit may be arranged so as to face each other with the wiring board interposed therebetween.

  According to this configuration, since the second drive unit is located near the first drive unit, the size of the support unit on which both the drive units are provided can be reduced, and thus the entire switch device can be reduced. Can be.

  In the switch device described above, the support unit includes a first horizontal frame provided with the first drive unit, a second horizontal frame provided with the second drive unit, one end of the first horizontal frame, and a second horizontal frame. A first vertical frame connecting one end of the first horizontal frame, and a second vertical frame connecting the other end of the first horizontal frame and the other end of the second horizontal frame. May be.

  According to this configuration, since the support portion is formed in a rectangular frame shape, the rigidity of the support portion can be increased. As a result, each switch can be stably pressed.

  In the above switch device, the support portion may be arranged such that the first vertical frame and the second vertical frame penetrate the wiring board.

  According to this configuration, since it is not necessary to arrange the first vertical frame and the second vertical frame outside the wiring board, the enlargement of the support portion can be suppressed, and the rigidity of the support portion can be further increased. .

  In the above switch device, the first switch has a first button pushed by the first drive unit, the second switch has a second button pushed by the second drive unit, and the first button faces the wiring board. The second button may be configured to be pressed in a direction toward the wiring board.

  According to this configuration, since each button is pressed in the direction toward the wiring board, a force in a direction perpendicular to the wiring board is applied to each switch. Therefore, the load resistance can be improved as compared with a switch device in which a force in a direction horizontal to the wiring board is applied to each switch. Therefore, according to the above configuration, the strength of the switch device can be improved.

  In the above switch device, the first button may be biased in a direction opposite to the direction toward the wiring board, and the second button may be biased in a direction opposite to the direction toward the wiring board.

  According to this configuration, each button can be quickly returned to the original position after each button is pressed. Along with this, it is possible to quickly return to the position before each drive unit is pushed in, and also quickly return the lever unit to the neutral position.

  In the above switch device, when the lever portion is at the neutral position, the first drive portion may be in contact with the first button, and the second drive portion may be in contact with the second button.

  According to this configuration, when the lever portion is at the neutral position, the movement of the support portion is restricted, and the support portion is stabilized. As a result, the lever portion can be stabilized at the neutral position.

  In the above switch device, the first button is configured to change the pressing force required for pressing in the process of being pressed, and the second button is configured to change the pressing force required for pressing in the process of being pressed. The driving unit is configured to be located on the central axis of the first button when the pressing force for pressing the first button is maximum, and the second driving unit is configured to be positioned when the pressing force for pressing the second button is maximum. , May be configured to be located on the central axis of the second button.

  Each button is configured such that the pressing force required for the pressing changes in the process of being pressed so that the operator can obtain a so-called click feeling. Here, when the first drive unit and the second drive unit move so as to draw an arc, each drive unit is not always located on the center axis of the corresponding button. Therefore, the above switch device is configured such that when the pressing force of each drive unit pressing the corresponding button becomes the maximum, it is located on the central axis of the button. According to this configuration, there is no strange feeling in the operation feeling in each operation direction, and a good operation feeling can be realized.

  In the above switch device, the wiring board may be arranged perpendicular to the direction in which the lever portion extends.

  According to this configuration, it is possible to install another device on the wiring board of the switch device. Therefore, the distance from the switch device to another device can be reduced, and as a result, the lever portion can be arranged closer to the device.

  In the switch device described above, the arm may be located on the near side of the wiring board when viewed from the tip of the lever.

  According to this configuration, the distance from the tip of the lever portion to the arm portion can be reduced, so that the size of the switch device in the extending direction of the lever portion can be reduced.

  In the switch device described above, the arm may be located deeper than the wiring board when viewed from the tip of the lever.

  According to this configuration, there is no need to dispose the arm between the tip of the lever and the wiring board. Therefore, even when the distance from the tip of the lever portion to the wiring board is restricted, the switch device can be installed.

  In the above switch device, the wiring board may be arranged in parallel with the extending direction of the lever portion.

  According to this configuration, since the wiring board does not extend in the tilting direction, the size of the switch device in the tilting direction can be reduced.

  According to the above switch device, when the switch device is installed adjacent to the device located in the tilting direction of the lever portion, the lever portion can be arranged near the device.

(1st Embodiment)
First, the switch device 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a switch device 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the switch device 100 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the switch device 100 includes a case 10, a wiring board 20, a first switch 30, a second switch 40, and an operation body 50. Hereinafter, these components will be described in order.

  The case 10 is a member that holds the operation body 50. The case 10 has a case main body 11 that houses the operating body 50 and a cover plate 12 that covers the case main body 11. The case body 11 includes a bottom plate 13 located at a bottom portion, a side wall 14 provided on the bottom plate 13 and surrounding the operation body 50, and a shaft member 15 located inside the side wall 14 and rotatably supporting the operation body 50. (See FIG. 2). That is, the axis of the shaft member 15 is the rotation axis of the operating body 50 including the lever 51. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, an opening 16 is formed in the bottom plate 13 at a position corresponding to the first switch 30. Further, the cover plate 12 is formed with a lever window 17 through which a lever portion 51 of the operation body 50 described later passes.

  The wiring substrate 20 is a substrate on which wiring is formed. The wiring board 20 according to the present embodiment is a so-called printed board, and wiring is formed on both sides. Further, the wiring board 20 is disposed perpendicularly to an extending direction of a lever portion 51 to be described later (a vertical direction in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). Further, as shown in FIG. 1, two through holes 21 are formed in the wiring board 20 so as to sandwich the first switch 30 and the second switch 40.

  The first switch 30 is a push switch provided on one surface of the wiring board 20 (upper surface of FIGS. 1 and 2). The first switch 30 has a first main body 31 fixed to the wiring board 20 and a first button 32 pushed into the first main body 31. The first button 32 is configured so as to be able to be pushed in a direction toward the wiring board 20 (downward in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). When the first button 32 is pushed to a predetermined position, the movable contact connected to the first button 32 contacts a fixed contact fixed inside the first main body 31.

  An urging member (not shown) is provided inside the first switch 30, and the first button 32 is attached in a direction opposite to the direction toward the wiring board 20 (above the paper in FIGS. 1 and 2). It is being rushed. Further, the first button 32 is configured so that the pressing force required for the pressing changes in the process of being pressed. This is to enable the operator to obtain a so-called click feeling. The first button 32 of the present embodiment is configured such that when the pressing is started, the pressing force gradually increases, and when the pressing reaches a certain position, the pressing force becomes maximum, and thereafter the pressing force rapidly decreases. ing. When the pressing force drops rapidly, the operator can get a click feeling.

  The second switch 40 is a push switch provided on the other surface of the wiring board 20 (the lower surface in FIGS. 1 and 2). The second switch 40 has the same configuration as the first switch 30 described above. That is, the second switch 40 has the second main body 41 fixed to the wiring board 20 and the second button 42 pushed into the second main body 41. The second button 42 is configured so as to be able to be pushed in the direction toward the wiring board 20 (upper side in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). When the second button 42 is pushed to a predetermined position, the movable contact connected to the second button 42 comes into contact with a fixed contact fixed inside the second main body 41.

  A biasing member (not shown) is provided inside the second switch 40, and the second button 42 is attached in a direction opposite to the direction toward the wiring board 20 (downward in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). It is being rushed. Further, similarly to the first button 32, the second button 42 is configured such that the pressing force required for the pressing changes in the process of being pressed.

  The first switch 30 and the second switch 40 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the wiring board 20, and are arranged such that the central axes of the first button 32 and the second button 42 coincide. With this configuration, the first switch 30 and the second switch 40 are arranged back to back, and the installation space of the two switches 30 and 40 as a whole can be reduced. Further, both switches 30 and 40 are located on the first direction 101 side (right side in FIG. 2; also see FIG. 3) with respect to the tip of a lever portion 51 described later.

  Note that the central axis of the first button 32 of the first switch 30 and the central axis of the second button 42 of the second switch 40 do not necessarily have to match. However, the distance from the rotation axis of the lever 51 to the first switch 30 when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the surface of the wiring board 20 which is the extending direction of the lever 51 (the vertical direction of the paper in FIGS. 1 and 2). It is desirable that the distance from the rotation axis of the lever 51 to the second switch 40 be equal. With this configuration, the pressing force for pressing the first switch 30 and the pressing force for pressing the second switch 40 due to the tilting operation of the lever portion 51 become substantially equal. As a result, the operation feeling during the tilting operation can be improved.

  Although the first switch 30 and the second switch 40 of the present embodiment have a biasing member inside, the biasing member may be a rubber plate or a coil spring. Further, each of the switches 30 and 40 does not have to have an urging member. However, if each switch 30, 40 has a biasing member, each button 32, 42 can be quickly returned to the original position after each button 32, 42 is pressed.

  Further, the first switch 30 and the second switch 40 of the present embodiment may be switches other than the push switch. For example, the first switch 30 and the second switch 40 are optical or magnetic switches, and are configured to transmit a predetermined signal when a first drive unit 54 and a second drive unit 55 described later approach each other. May be. That is, instead of pressing the corresponding switches 30 and 40 by the first driving unit 54 and the second driving unit 55, the distance between the first driving unit 54 and the second driving unit 55 and the corresponding switches 30 and 40 changes. By doing so, the switch is turned on / off.

  The operating body 50 is a member operated by an operator. FIG. 3A is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating the switch device 100. FIG. 3B is a front view of the switch device 100 shown in FIG. 3A as viewed from the right side of the drawing. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the operating body 50 according to the present embodiment includes a lever 51, an arm 52, a support 53, a first drive 54, and a second drive 54. And a driving unit 55.

  The lever portion 51 is a portion that the operator's finger touches. The lever portion 51 extends in the vertical direction on the paper of FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the lever portion 51 passes through the lever window 17 formed in the cover plate 12, and has a tip portion located outside the cover plate 12. The operator performs the tilting operation by pinching the tip of the lever portion 51 with a finger. When the operator performs the tilting operation, the lever portion 51 tilts in the first direction 101 and the second direction 102 from the neutral position with the shaft member 15 pivotally supporting the base end portion of the lever portion 51 as a base point. . Note that the “neutral position” here is a position when the lever 51 is not tilted in any direction (that is, a non-operation position), and the first switch 30 when the lever 51 is in the neutral position. In the second switch 40, the movable contact is not in contact with the fixed contact.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B described above are views when the lever portion 51 is at the neutral position. 4 is a diagram when the lever 51 is tilted in the first direction 101, and FIG. 5 is a diagram when the lever 51 is tilted in the second direction 102. In the present embodiment, in FIG. 3A, the right side of the paper is referred to as a “first direction”, and the left side of the paper is referred to as a “second direction”. That is, the second direction 102 is opposite to the first direction 101.

  The arm part 52 is a part connected to the lever part 51. The arm 52 of the present embodiment extends from the lever 51 in the first direction 101. Further, the arm 52 rotates about the axis of the shaft member 15 as a rotation axis in the tilting direction of the lever 51. In the present embodiment, the clockwise direction in FIG. 3A is referred to as “forward direction”, and the counterclockwise direction is referred to as “reverse direction”. As shown in FIG. 4, when the lever 51 is tilted in the first direction 101, the arm 52 rotates in the normal rotation direction 103. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, when the lever 51 is tilted in the second direction 102, the arm 52 rotates in the reverse rotation direction 104.

  The support portion 53 is a portion provided at a tip portion of the arm portion 52 and supports the first drive portion 54 and the second drive portion 55. As shown in FIG. 3B, the support portion 53 is formed in a rectangular frame shape. More specifically, the support portion 53 is parallel to the wiring board 20 and connected to the distal end portion of the arm portion 52. A second horizontal frame 57 parallel to the substrate 20, a first vertical frame 58 connecting one end of the first horizontal frame 56 and one end of the second horizontal frame 57 and perpendicular to the wiring board 20, There is a second vertical frame 59 which connects the other end of the one horizontal frame 56 and the other end of the second horizontal frame 57 and is perpendicular to the wiring board 20. The first horizontal frame 56 and the second horizontal frame 57 extend in a direction perpendicular to both the extending direction of the lever portion 51 and the extending direction of the arm portion 52 (a direction perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 3A). Extending. As described above, the support portion 53 of the present embodiment has a high rigidity because it is formed in a rectangular frame shape.

  Further, the first vertical frame 58 and the second vertical frame 59 penetrate the wiring board 20 through the through holes 21 formed in the wiring board 20 respectively. As described above, in the present embodiment, since the first vertical frame 58 and the second vertical frame 59 penetrate the wiring board 20, the first vertical frame 58 and the second vertical frame 59 are arranged outside the wiring board 20. It is not necessary, and the entire support portion 53 can be reduced. Therefore, the rigidity of the support portion 53 can be further increased.

  The first drive unit 54 is a part that faces the first switch 30 and presses the first switch 30. As shown in FIG. 3B, the first drive unit 54 is provided inside the first horizontal frame 56 of the support unit 53. The first drive section 54 has a plate-like shape perpendicular to the wiring board 20, and a portion in contact with the first button 32 is formed in a semicircular shape in cross-sectional view. Since the first drive unit 54 is configured as described above, even if the position of the first button 32 is changed by pressing and the angle of the first drive unit 54 with respect to the first button 32 is changed, the first drive unit 54 A large change in the contact area of the first button 32 can be suppressed.

  Further, as described above, the first button 32 is configured such that the pressing force required for pressing the first button 32 changes in the process of being pressed. On the other hand, since the first drive unit 54 moves so as to draw an arc around the axis of the shaft member 15, the first drive unit 54 is not always located on the center axis of the first button 32. . Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the pressing force of the first button 32 is maximized, the first driving unit 54 is configured to be located on the center axis of the first button 32. Thereby, the first drive unit 54 can efficiently press the first button 32. For the above-described reason, as shown in FIG. 3A, the first driving unit 54 and the second driving unit 55 are arranged to face each other with the wiring board 20 interposed therebetween, but the position in the first direction 101 Is slightly off. Specifically, the distance from the shaft member 15 in the first direction 101 is smaller in the first drive unit 54 than in the second drive unit 55, where the distance from the shaft member 15 in the extending direction of the lever unit 51 is smaller. short.

  The second drive unit 55 is a part that faces the second switch 40 and presses the second switch 40. As shown in FIG. 3B, the second drive section 55 is provided inside the second horizontal frame 57 of the support section 53. The second drive unit 55 has a plate-like shape perpendicular to the wiring board 20, similarly to the first drive unit 54, and a portion in contact with the second button 42 is formed in a semicircular shape in a cross-sectional view. Have been. Further, in the present embodiment, when the pressing force of the second button 42 is maximized, the second driving unit 55 is configured to be located on the central axis of the second button 42.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, when the lever 51 is in the neutral position, the first drive unit 54 is in contact with the first button 32, and the second drive unit 55 is in contact with the second button 42. I have. At this time, since the first button 32 is urged in the direction opposite to the direction toward the wiring board 20, the first driving unit 54 applies the direction opposite to the direction from the first button 32 toward the wiring board 20. The power of increases. Similarly, since the second button 42 is urged in the direction opposite to the direction toward the wiring board 20, the second drive unit 55 also applies a force in the direction opposite to the direction toward the wiring board 20 from the second button 42. Power is added. Accordingly, when the lever portion 51 is at the neutral position, the movement of the support portion 53 is restricted and the support portion 53 is stabilized. As a result, the lever portion 51 can be stabilized at the neutral position.

  As shown in FIG. 1, in the operating body 50 of the present embodiment, the lever 51, the arm 52, the first drive 54, the first horizontal frame 56, the first vertical frame 58, and the second vertical frame 59 are integrally formed, and these constitute a first operating body 61. Further, the second drive section 55 and the second horizontal frame 57 are formed integrally, and these constitute a second operation body 62. The first operating body 61 and the second operating body 62 are connected to each other by a connecting member 63. However, the operating body 50 does not have to be configured as described above. For example, the lever part 51 and the arm part 52 may be separate bodies.

  Since the switch device 100 according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, when the lever portion 51 is tilted in the first direction 101, the arm portion 52 rotates in the normal rotation direction 103 and the first driving portion 54 One switch 30 is pressed. When the lever 51 is tilted in the second direction 102, the arm 52 rotates in the reverse rotation direction 104 and the second drive unit 55 presses the second switch 40. As described above, in the switch device 100 according to the present embodiment, both the first switch 30 and the second switch 40 can be pressed by rotating one arm 52.

  Therefore, according to the switch device 100 according to the present embodiment, the number of the arm portions 52 can be reduced as compared with a switch device employing a conventional seesaw structure. Since the arm 52 of the present embodiment extends from the lever 51 in the first direction 101, there is no need to provide a movable space for the arm on the second direction 102 side when viewed from the arm 52. Further, the first switch 30 and the second switch 40 are also located closer to the first direction 101 than the tip of the lever portion 51. Therefore, according to the switch device 100 according to the present embodiment, when the switch device 100 is installed adjacent to the device located on the second direction 102, the lever portion 51 can be arranged near the device.

(2nd Embodiment)
Subsequently, a switch device 200 according to the second embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a sectional view schematically showing a switch device 200 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the switch device 200 according to the present embodiment differs from the switch device 100 according to the first embodiment in the position of the arm 52. Otherwise, the configuration is the same as that of the switch device 100 according to the first embodiment.

  In the operating body 50 of the present embodiment, the lever 51 penetrates the wiring board 20. In the switch device 100 according to the first embodiment, the arm portion 52 is located on the near side of the wiring board 20 when viewed from the tip of the lever portion 51, whereas in the switch device 200 according to the present embodiment, the lever portion The arm 52 is located on the back side of the wiring board 20 when viewed from the tip of the 51. Even in such a configuration, similarly to the case of the first embodiment, when the switch device 200 is installed adjacent to the device located on the second direction 102, the lever unit 51 is arranged near the device. can do.

  The switch device 100 according to the first embodiment and the switch device 200 according to the present embodiment can be selected according to installation conditions. In the switch device 100 according to the first embodiment, since the arm portion 52 is located on the near side of the wiring board 20 when viewed from the tip of the lever portion 51, if the dimension in the extending direction of the lever portion 51 is to be reduced, It is valid. On the other hand, in the switch device 200 according to the present embodiment, there is no need to arrange the arm 52 between the tip of the lever 51 and the wiring board 20. Therefore, even when the distance from the tip of the lever portion 51 to the wiring board 20 is limited, the switch device 200 can be installed.

(Third embodiment)
Subsequently, a switch device 300 according to the third embodiment will be described. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a switch device 300 according to the third embodiment.
