[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seesaw or a combined seesaw / slide operation switch capable of operating both a seesaw or a push-pull and a slide with a single knob, and more particularly, to push-pull operations in mutually opposite directions such as a vehicle sunroof. Alternatively, the present invention relates to a seesaw / slide combined operation switch that operates a sunroof operation drive device by a slide operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional device of this type is disclosed in German Patent Publication No. 3931722 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-244621. Such a conventional seesaw-slide combined operation switch 90 as shown in FIG.
It is built in the vehicle ceiling 91, and the opening / closing operation drive device of the vehicle sunroof 92 is operated by one operation element sliding operation in the opposite directions, and the vehicle sunroof 92 is operated by the operation elements swinging in the opposite directions. Operate the lifting operation drive device.

As shown in FIG. 13, when one knob 100 is operated in four directions (contact ON), pins 102 and 102 are provided on an operating element 101 to which the knob 100 is attached, and a holder 103 is provided to prevent simultaneous ON. The cross groove 104 is provided and the pin 102 of the operating element 101 traces the inside of the cross groove 104 to prevent simultaneous turning on. Here, simultaneous turning on means performing a swinging motion while the operating element 101 is sliding, or vice versa.

[0004]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional device, the operating element 101 is provided with the pin 102 and the holder 1
03 has a cross groove 104 for simultaneous ON prevention, and the pin 102 of the operating element 101 traces the inside of the cross groove 104 to prevent simultaneous ON. Therefore, there are the following problems. The pin 102 of the operating element 101 cannot be set too thick due to the restriction of the size of the switch, but if a large operating force is applied to the pin 102 when a driver operates the operating element and a large shearing force is generated, the pin 102 is damaged. There was a risk of doing it. Since the cross groove 104 is provided, a slide core is required for the mold, the mold shape is complicated, and the mold equipment cost is high. Moreover, since there is a risk of dust or other foreign matter entering through the cross groove 104, contact failure may occur at the contact portion, and the switch operation may not be performed reliably.

A first object of the present invention is to perform operations in four directions, both slide and swing directions, from a neutral position, and even if a strong force is applied, the force is dispersed to prevent deformation or damage as in the conventional case. It is an object of the present invention to provide a seesaw / slide combined operation switch that is not afraid, has a simple molding die structure, and can reduce the cost.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a seesaw capable of independently and stably operating in four directions from the neutral position in both the sliding direction and the swinging direction (venting direction) with a simple structure. A slide compound operation switch is provided.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described. First, the non-operation state will be described. FIGS. 3, 5, and 7 show the state of each mechanism in the non-operation state.
FIG. 3 mainly shows the mechanism relating to the sliding operation. When the sliding operation force is not applied to the knob 65, the spring force of the coil spring 68 causes the ball 61 to move.
Is pressed against the second cam portion 60, the ball 61
Tends to move to and be held at the deepest cut portion of the second cam portion 60. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the knob 65 and the slider 11 are returned to the neutral position of the sliding operation of the second cam portion 60.

Further, FIG. 5 mainly shows the mechanism relating to the swinging movement of the knob 65. When no operating force in the swinging direction is applied to the knob 65, the coil spring 67 is shown.
Since the ball 58 is pressed against the first cam portion 59 by the spring force of, the ball 58 tries to move and be held at the deepest cut portion of the first cam portion 59.
Therefore, since the spring force of the coil spring 67 acts on the knob 65 in the non-tilting direction, the knob 65 is returned to the neutral position of the swing motion of the first cam portion 59, as shown in FIG.

In this non-operating state, as shown in FIG. 7, the swing permitting openings 56, 56 of the swing plate portions 52, 53 of the lever 26 have the first protrusions 35,
It faces 35. Strictly speaking, when the lever 26 is oscillated around the oscillating shaft 27 in the neutral position, the first part is formed in the locus of the oscillating allowing openings 56, 56 about the oscillating shaft 27. The protruding portions 35, 35 are arranged. Therefore, even if the lever 26 swings in the neutral position, the first
It is not regulated by the protruding portion 35.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5 (and FIGS. 3 and 7).
The swinging operation from the non-operation state of will be described with reference to FIG. When an operating force in the swinging direction (clockwise direction) is applied to the knob 65 from the state of FIG. 5, the knob 65 swings clockwise with the lever 26 integrated with the knob 65 around the swing shaft 27. Move. When this swing operation is performed, the first cam portion 59 of the lever 26 also moves in the clockwise direction around the swing shaft 27, so that the ball located at the center neutral position of the first cam portion 59. 58 slides on the inclined surface of the first cam portion 59, and the inclined surface of the first cam portion 59 gradually pushes the ball 58 downward and the coil spring 67.
Is contracted, and the state shown in FIG. 6 is obtained.

In the case of swinging motion at such a neutral position,
As shown in FIG. 7, the holder 12 is attached to the swing locus of the swing permitting openings 56, 56 of the swing plate portions 52, 53 of the lever 26.
The first protrusions 35, 35 are located. Therefore, as described above, the lever 2 is moved from the state of FIG. 5 (FIG. 7).
When 6 is swung clockwise around the swing shaft 27, the swing plate portion 52 on the left side of the lever 26 moves downward and the swing plate portion 53 on the right side moves upward. At this time, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (the same state as), since the first protrusion 35 enters into the swing allowance opening 56 of the swing plate portion 52, the knob 65 and the lever 26 are
The swinging operation is not restricted by the first protrusion 35. That is, the swing motion of the knob 65 and the lever 26 can be performed only at the neutral position of the slide motion.

Here, such a knob 65 and lever 2
The contact operation at the time of rocking operation of 6 will be described. As described above, when the lever 26 is swung in the clockwise direction about the swing shaft 27 from the non-operating state of FIGS. 5 and 7,
The swing plate portion 52 on the left side of the lever 26 moves downward, and the swing plate portion 53 on the right side moves upward. Then, the head 36b of the actuator 36, which is pressed by the spring force of the coil spring 50 against the lower surface of the oscillating plate portion 52, is pressed to lower the actuator 36. By this descending operation of the actuator 36, the movable contact slider 44 is slid while compressing the coil spring 50 via the inclined surface 47 of the movable contact slider 44, as shown in FIG.
As a result, the second movable contact 42 of the movable contact slider 44 and the fixed contact 7a are turned on. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the right side actuator 36 does not change from the state of FIG. 5 because the right side swing plate portion 53 is raised, and the movable contact slider 45 does not slide and remains off. is there.

Then, when the swinging operation force is released, the knob 65 and the lever 26 are raised by the returning force of the ball 58 pressed against the coil spring 67 to return to the neutral position of the first cam portion 59. It returns to the state of 5 (FIG. 7). At this time, the movable contact slider 44 is also returned to the off position by the spring force of the coil spring 50, and the spring force of the coil spring 50 also acts as a force to raise the actuator 36. Therefore, the knob 65 and the lever 26 are returned. It also acts as a force.

Next, in the process of swinging the knob 65 and the lever 26 from the state of FIG. 5 to the state of FIG. 6 or when the operating force for sliding the knob 65 and the lever 26 acts after the end. explain. Normally, the knob 65 and the lever 26 are provided with the second cam portion 60 and the ball 6.
By the action of 1 and the coil spring 68, a force for holding the neutral position of the sliding action is exerted. When an operating force in the sliding direction exceeding this force is applied, the sliding operation is also performed during the swinging operation, but this is prevented as follows.

That is, as described above, when the knob 65 and the lever 26 are oscillated in the clockwise direction from the state of FIG. 5, the end portion of the oscillating plate portion 52 of the lever 26 causes the second protruding portion 38 on the right side. Move along the inner slope of the. Therefore, the knob 65 and the lever 26 slide in the right direction.
When the slider 11 tries to slide to the right due to the operating force of, the end portion of the swing plate portion 52 of the lever 26 abuts on the inner inclined portion of the second protrusion 38 on the right side and the right side of the slider 11 moves. Regulates the sliding movement in the direction. When the knob 65 and the lever 26 are oscillated in the clockwise direction from the state of FIG. 5, the end of the oscillating plate portion 53 of the lever 26 is inclined inside the second protrusion 38 on the right side. When the slider 11 hits a portion, the slider 11 is restricted from sliding to the right.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (and FIGS. 5 and 7).
The slide operation from the non-operation state will be described with reference to FIG. When an operating force in the sliding direction (to the left) is applied to the knob 65 from the state of FIG. 5, the knob 65 is moved to the lever 26 integrated with the knob 65 and the slider 1 connected thereto.
Slide left with 1. When this sliding operation is performed, the ball of the slider 11 and the ball 61 accommodated in the coil spring accommodating portion 18 also slide to the left, so that the ball at the center of the second cam portion 60 of the holder 12 is in the neutral position. 61 slides on the inclined surface of the second cam portion 60, and the inclined surface gradually pushes the ball 61 downward to compress the coil spring 68, resulting in the state of FIG.

In this sliding operation, the lever 26
When the slide slides to the left from the neutral position, the first protrusions 35, 35 of the holder 12 move the lever 2
Rocking allowance opening portions 56, 56 of the rocking plate portions 52, 53
And is located on the lower surface of the swing plate portions 52 and 53. Then, when the lever 26 tries to swing,
The first protrusion 35 abuts on the lower surface of the swing plate portion 52 to restrict the swing motion of the lever 26. Further, the swing plate portion 52
The second protrusion 38 on the right side also enters into the lower surface near the end of the lever 26 and comes into contact with the lower surface of the swing plate portion 52, so that the lever 26
Regulates the swinging motion of. In this way, it is slid to the state of FIG. Therefore, since the lever 26 is not oscillated while the lever 26 is sliding, the actuators 36, 36 are not operated and the second movable contacts 42, 43 are not switched as shown in FIG. . In addition, since the swinging motion is not performed in this sliding motion, the first cam portion 59, the ball 58, etc. involved in the swinging motion move leftward in the neutral position of the swinging motion shown in FIG. is doing.

Here, such a knob 65 and lever 2
The contact operation during the sliding operation of 6 will be described. As described above, when the knob 65 and the lever 26 are slid to the left from the non-operated state of FIG. 7, the slider 11 connected to the knob 65 and the lever 26 is also slid to the left. Then, the first movable contact 15 housed in the slider 11 is also slid on the printed circuit board 4 and the fixed contact 8 is turned on.

Then, when the operating force in the sliding direction is released from the on state of FIG. 8, the ball 61 pressed against the coil spring 68 returns to the neutral position of the second cam portion 60 by the returning force and the knob 65 and The lever 26 is slid rightward, returns to the state of FIG. 7, and is turned off.

Also, it can be operated in four directions of both swinging directions, and even if a strong force is applied, the force is dispersed, there is no fear of deformation or damage as in the conventional case, and the molding die structure is simple and the cost can be reduced. . Further, unlike the conventional case, since the case is not provided with the cross groove, dust does not enter the apparatus and a failure such as a contact failure does not occur.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the lever 26 is provided with the substantially V-shaped first cam portion 59, and the holder 12 (or the case 57 and the cover 1) is provided.
The second cam portion 60 having a substantially V shape is provided on the slider 11
The balls 58 and 61 which are elastically contacted with the first cam portion 59 or the second cam portion 60, respectively, are arranged in the non-operating state, and the lever 26 in the non-operated state is the ball 58 which is elastically contacted with the first cam portion 59. Since the slider 11 is returned to the neutral position by means of the ball 61 elastically contacted with the second cam portion 60, the slider 11 in the non-operated state is returned to the neutral position with a simple structure. It is possible to independently and stably perform operations in four directions, both swinging directions.

[0044]
