  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, switch devices having various configurations such as a button type and a volume type are known as control devices for controlling electrical signals. Various types of switch devices are appropriately selected depending on the type of electric signal to be controlled, the contents of control, or the viewpoint of design, and are used in various electric devices.

  On the other hand, when playing music, a DJ performance method is known in which a player called a disc mug (DJ) is used to perform dance music or the like using a record player as a playback device. This DJ performance method is a method of effectively performing music information recorded on a record board as dance music. Specifically, the disc mug manually controls the rotation state of the turntable on which the record board of the record player is placed, and the music information recorded on the record board is played, stopped, or the same phrase of the music information is recorded. Repeat playback and cue playback to the position where playback is desired to start.

  By the way, in the conventional record player, the rotation drive from the electric motor is transmitted through the endless belt, the turntable rotates in one direction, and the record board placed on the turntable is reproduced. ing. As a result, depending on the output value of the electric motor used, the shape and material of the endless belt, different types of record players have different loads received by the DJ player during the operation of rotating the turntable using the DJ performance method. Therefore, a record player capable of obtaining a desired load is used from the DJ performance method or the preference of the DJ player.

  However, in the conventional configurations as described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 described above, since the jog table is simply disposed so as to be freely rotatable, the operational feeling due to the load generated during the rotation operation is substantially the same. It is difficult to obtain a feeling of operation corresponding to the method of DJ performance or the preference of the DJ player. In particular, with the recent diversification of DJ performances, there is a demand for a playback device that can provide a feeling of operation that better suits the taste.

  On the other hand, as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-64071, a signal adjustment device is known that can adjust the magnitude of a load applied to an operator in accordance with a user's preference. In the device described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-64071, a magnet is fixed to a knob-shaped moving member that is connected to an operating element and is movably supported by a supporting member, and extends in the moving direction of the moving member. A magnetic metal plate is disposed. The magnet is attracted by a magnetic force to apply a load to the movement of the moving member. Further, a rotation shaft that is formed at one end by which a driver or the like engages and is rotated by a user is provided.

It has become.

  It is conceivable to apply the configuration for adjusting the load with the magnet described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-64071 to the adjustment of the load generated when the jog table is rotated. However, it is necessary to use a tool such as a screwdriver when adjusting the load in response to the diversifying DJ performances in recent years, which is complicated. Moreover, the structure which adjusts load with the magnet connected with the linearly-moving operation element of Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2005-64071 and the metal plate extended along the moving direction of this magnet is rotationally operated. It is difficult to apply adjustment of the load on the operating element. On the other hand, in the configuration in which the load is adjusted by the facing distance between the magnet and the metal plate, a magnet having a relatively strong magnetic force is used in order to set a wide range for adjusting the magnitude of the load. It is necessary to set a large facing distance that can be adjusted, and it is difficult to simplify the configuration.

In this operation process, a case where an optical disc on which music data is recorded is used as a recording medium will be described. However, as described above, the recording medium to be processed is not limited to this. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the operation of the reproduction process in the information processing operation of the reproduction system. FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a playback status change process in the information processing operation of the playback system.

  First, when power is supplied to the reproduction system 100 in advance and a recording medium such as an optical disk is inserted into the insertion slot 120 (step S101), the information processing means 400 controls the operation of the drive 330. That is, for example, a recording medium is mounted at a predetermined position of the drive 330 in the main body case 110 by an auto loading mechanism. When the information processing unit 400 recognizes that the recording medium is loaded in the drive 330, the information acquisition unit 420 controls the operation of the drive 330 to read the recording information recorded on the recording medium. Further, the display control means 450 controls the first display device 310 to display the record information (step S102). Thereafter, the information processing unit 400 recognizes the operation signal output by the switch unit 340 when the user performs setting input operation (step S103), and sets the input processing state (step S104). ). Steps S103 and S104 are also performed in the subsequent processes, and the processing state is set based on the operation signal until the reproduction process is completed.

  Thereafter, a selection standby state for music data to be processed is entered (step S105). That is, it is determined which music data has been selected. When recognizing that the music data to be processed is selected, the information acquisition unit 420 controls the drive 330 and the storage unit 360 to read the selected music data (step S106). Further, the display control unit 450 displays information related to the music data such as the playback time of the selected music data, the track number, or the number registered in the playlist. Thereafter, the music data to be processed is put into a reproduction standby state (step S107). That is, it is determined whether or not the reproduction / stop button 348 has been input, and when a reproduction request by a setting input operation of the reproduction / stop button 348 is recognized, the processing means 440 processes the music data so that the output means 200 can output it. The reproduction process is performed, and the processed music data is sequentially output to the output unit, and is output from the sound generation unit 210 as a sound (step S108). During the reproduction process in step S108, the characteristic recognition unit 430 of the information processing unit 400 recognizes the characteristics of the music data, such as the tempo that is a rhythm and the volume of the low frequency range (step S109). Further, a process of displaying the playback processing status, such as the playback speed and the characteristics recognized in step S109, on the first display device 310 and the second display device 320 is performed (step S110).

  Further, when the user depresses the cue button 347 of the switch unit 340, the operation signal recognition unit 410 recognizes this operation signal and outputs a signal for setting the information processing state. The display control means 450 that recognizes this signal uses the reproduction position information at the time when the signal is recognized as cue point information, and uses the cue point position displayed on the second display device 320 as a reference at 12 o'clock. The light emitting element located in the clockwise direction corresponding to the information is turned on to display the cue point. The calculated cue point information is stored in the storage unit 360.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the rotator unit 600 has been pressed while music data is being played back by the processing means 440 (step S111). Specifically, the operation signal recognition unit 410 determines whether or not an operation signal is output from the pressure detection unit 820. If the pressing operation is not recognized in step S111, the process returns to step S108 to continue the reproduction process. When the pressing operation is recognized in step S111, the operation signal recognition unit 410 determines whether or not the quick return button 345 is in an ON state (step S112). That is, the operation signal recognizing unit 410 includes a change content that changes the reproduction status based on a detection signal of the pressing operation of the rotator unit 600 among the change content related to the stop or start of the process or the change content related to the change of the reproduction position. Determine which change was made. In this step S112, when it is determined that the quick return button 345 is pressed to be in the ON state, and the change in the playback state is a change related to the change in the playback position, the processing unit 440 sets the playback speed to 0%. To move the playback position to the cue point. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S112 that the quick return button 345 is not in the ON state, that is, in the OFF state, and the change content of the reproduction status is a change content related to the stop or start of the process, the processing means 440 In accordance with the deceleration speed in the reproduction stop process set by the speed adjustment unit 342B of 340 and recognized by the operation signal recognition unit 410, the reproduction speed is gradually set to 0% to stop the reproduction process (step) S114).

  After these step S113 or step S114, the operation signal recognition unit 410 determines whether or not the rotating body unit 600 has been rotated based on the detection signal from the rotational movement detecting unit 810 of the rotating body unit 600 (step). S115). If it is determined that the rotation is not performed in step S115, the operation signal recognition unit 410 determines whether or not the pressing state of the rotating body unit 600 is continued (step S116). On the other hand, if it is determined that the rotation has occurred in step S115, the operation signal recognition unit 410 determines whether or not the rotation direction is forward rotation (FWD), which is the rotation direction (step S117), based on the detection signal. If it is determined in step S117 that the rotation is forward, the rotational speed in the detection signal from the rotational movement detecting means 810 is recognized (step S118). Then, the processing means 440 performs the reproduction process so that the reproduction speed increases in the forward direction corresponding to the rotation speed (step S119).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S117 that the rotation is not forward rotation, that is, reverse rotation (REV), the rotational speed in the detection signal from the rotational movement detecting means 810 is recognized (step S121). Then, the processing means 440 performs the reproduction process so that the reproduction speed increases in the reverse direction corresponding to the rotation speed (step S122).

  After step S119 or step S122, the process proceeds to step S116. When it is determined in step S116 that the pressing state of the rotating body portion 600 is continued, the process returns to step S115 to continue so-called scratch processing. On the other hand, if it is determined in this step S116 that the pressing state of the rotating body portion 600 is not continued, the processing means 440 responds to the reproduction rising speed of the speed adjustment portion 342B set by the operation signal recognition means 410. Processing for setting the playback speed to 100% is performed (step S124).

  Thereafter, the information processing means 400 determines whether or not the operation signal recognition means 410 has recognized a reproduction process stop request, that is, a reproduction stop due to an input operation of the reproduction / stop button 348 (step S125). If it is determined in step S125 that the reproduction stop is not recognized, the process returns to step S108 and the reproduction process is continued. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S125 that the reproduction stop has been recognized, this reproduction is stopped and the reproduction process is terminated.

[Effect of playback system]
In the information processing apparatus 300 of the reproduction system 100 in the above-described embodiment as described above, a detection signal that is rotated by a user's setting input operation and is a predetermined operation signal by the rotation movement detection means 810 in response to the rotation movement. The magnitude of the load set by the load setting unit 910 and felt by the user as an operational feeling when the rotating body portion 600 that outputs the signal is changed according to the input operation by the user can be changed. For this reason, it is possible to set a load of operation feeling corresponding to the preference for each user during the rotation operation of the rotator unit 600, and it is possible to provide a DJ performance method with a good operation feeling even with the diversified DJ performance method in recent years. Therefore, the user can perform a DJ performance method with a delicate operation corresponding to the preference, and can perform a wider variety of DJ performance methods.

  Then, the load that is set to a predetermined size by restricting the rotational movement of the rotating body portion 600 by the load setting means 910, and the restricted state in which the rotational movement of the rotating body portion 600 is restricted by the load changing means 950. It is made to change by changing according to input operation by. For this reason, for example, the load is changed by changing the magnitude of a resistance such as a frictional resistance at the time of rotational movement, and the configuration can be changed according to the load setting and the input operation of the set load. Can be easily obtained, and load setting and change can be easily obtained with a simple configuration.

  Further, as a restriction on the rotational movement of the rotator unit 600, a state in which a load that is an operation feeling is generated by the magnitude of the resistance during the rotational movement, that is, the resistance of the rotational movement increases is changed according to the input operation. For this reason, the operational feeling according to a user's preference can be provided favorably with a simple configuration.

  Further, as a resistance at the time of rotational movement of the rotator unit 600, a frictional resistance is generated to appropriately generate a load that gives an operational feeling. For this reason, the structure which can set an operation feeling according to a user preference with a simple structure is easily obtained, and the improvement of manufacturability is easily obtained.

  Further, as a restriction on the rotational movement of the rotating body portion 600, a frictional resistance is appropriately generated when a rotating member whose outer peripheral surface is in contact with the rotating body portion 600, for example, a restriction gear 911 with which the outer peripheral surface is engaged, is rotated. For this reason, since no frictional resistance is generated in the rotating body 600 itself, even if the restriction gear 911 is worn due to friction, it is only necessary to replace the restriction gear 911 which is a separate member, or a structure where a separate member is replaced. Can be easily obtained, and maintenance management can be easily performed.

  Then, as the frictional resistance during rotation of the restriction gear 911, a biasing force that presses the biasing plate 914 against the restriction gear 911 via the washer 913 is generated in the restriction gear 911 by a restoring force due to elastic deformation of the biasing coil spring 915. To generate frictional resistance. For this reason, it is possible to easily obtain a configuration in which a load due to frictional resistance is generated with a simple configuration, and the generated load can be changed to a load size that provides an operational feeling according to the user's preference.

  Further, the urging plate 914 is pressed by the urging coil spring 915 through washers 913 disposed at both ends of the restriction gear 911. For this reason, for example, it is possible to prevent inconvenience such as the end of the biasing coil spring 915 being caught by the rotating restriction gear 911, and the frictional resistance is appropriately generated by the biasing force of the biasing coil spring 915 not rotating on the rotating restriction gear 911. This is easily obtained by interposing the urging plate 914, and setting of noise due to catching or generation of unstable load does not occur, and the load can be generated satisfactorily and can be changed with a simple configuration.

  Further, the rotation of the restriction gear 911 which is a pinion engaged with the first gear 623 which is a rack provided in the rotating body portion 600 is restricted. For this reason, the structure which produces | generates the frictional resistance which becomes load as an operation feeling by the control gear 911 of another member which is easy to replace | exchange without generating frictional resistance in the rotary body part 600 itself is easily obtained. Furthermore, the 1st gear 623 with which the detection gear 812 for detecting the rotation condition of the rotary body part 600 in the rotational movement detection means 810 engages can be utilized. Therefore, simplification and improvement of manufacturability by sharing the configuration can be easily obtained.

  Then, as load changing means 950 for changing the magnitude of the load set by the load setting means 910 in accordance with the input operation, an operation linked with the rotating input operation in the operation shaft portion 951 having the operation knob portion 953. An input operation is transmitted to the load setting means 910 by the transmission collar 961. For this reason, the magnitude of the load is changed with a simple configuration, such as changing the state of occurrence of generating a load such as a frictional resistance by changing the crushing state corresponding to the input operation of the biasing coil spring 915. Configuration is easily obtained.

  In addition, a step setting portion 955 having an engaging recess 956 is provided integrally with the operation shaft portion 951, and a locking piece portion 957 having a bulging locking portion 958 is pivotally supported by the operation shaft portion 951. An operation position holding means 959 configured to be provided on one piece 952 is arranged, and the position of the operation shaft portion 951 having an operation knob portion 953 that is rotated by an input operation in the load changing means 950 is held. For this reason, for example, it is possible to prevent the set load from being changed due to vibration at the time of a setting input operation of the rotating body 600 or an impact from the outside, and resetting the load.

  In addition, the bulging engagement portion 958 is engaged and disengaged by the engagement recess 956 by a restoring force due to elastic deformation. For this reason, a click-like operation feeling can be obtained during an input operation which is an operation for changing the magnitude of the load, and the usability can be improved. Furthermore, one is provided in the operation shaft portion 951 that is operated for input, and the other is provided in the shaft support piece portion 952 that supports the operation shaft portion 951 so as to be engaged and disengaged. For this reason, the structure which hold | maintains the magnitude | size of the load set by input operation, providing a click feeling-like operation feeling with a simpler structure is easily obtained.

  In addition, an operation knob portion 953 for performing an input operation, which is an operation for changing the magnitude of the load, is disposed on the same upper surface facing the rotating body portion 600 for performing the setting input operation. For this reason, when adjusting the magnitude of the load generated during the setting input operation, the position where the operation knob unit 953 is operated while performing the setting input operation is the same, the operability is good, and the load corresponding to the user's preference is large. It can be easily set.

  Then, a turntable in a record player for reproducing a record board is simulated, and the present invention is applied to a configuration that regulates rotational movement in the rotator unit 600 in which the reproduction state is changed depending on the rotation state due to the rotation operation. For this reason, especially in music and video playback, the DJ player uses the switch device 500 that is used in the DJ performance method of a disc jug in which the playback status varies in accordance with the input operation, and the sense of input operation is more important. A more appropriate and good DJ performance according to the user's preference is obtained. Further, the information processing means 400 that performs information processing and the switch device 500 that sets the processing status of the information processing are integrally configured. For this reason, it is not necessary to perform a connection operation during information processing, information processing can be executed immediately, and the rotating body 600 is designed in a shape simulating a turntable in a record player, so that the design can be improved.

  In addition, as the information processing unit 400 in the information processing apparatus 300, various configurations are constructed by a program. For this reason, for example, by incorporating a program into a personal computer or CPU, or using a recording medium on which the program is recorded, the above-described processing configuration can be easily obtained, and improvement in productivity and expansion of use can be facilitated.

  Further, the switch device 500 is provided with a rotational movement detection means 810 and a pressure detection means 820 as a configuration for outputting an operation signal corresponding to the rotation operation, pressing, or contact operation of the rotating body portion 600 of the switch device 500. Therefore, it is possible to easily obtain the switch device 500 that can change the playback position, pause the playback position, and the like in the same manner as operating the record player as a DJ performance as described above. Furthermore, as an operation of moving the pickup to a predetermined position during DJ performance, a process of moving the playback position to the cue point by a pressing operation by setting the cue point can be obtained. Therefore, the usability can be further improved, and the music data and video data can be moved to the cue point position more easily and quickly than the conventional DJ performance method by digital processing.

  The rotational movement detection means 810 is configured to detect a rotational operation by the rotation detection sensor 814 including the optical sensor 814A as described above. For this reason, a rotation operation can be easily detected with a simple configuration. Particularly, since the rotation state of the rotation detection plate 813 provided integrally with the detection gear 812 engaged with the first gear 623 is detected, there is a light resistance as a load that does not become heavy during the rotation operation. In addition to providing a good feeling of operation, it is possible to reliably detect an input operation that changes abruptly due to DJ performance, such as inversion. Since a light resistance feeling generated by the rotational movement detection unit 810 is provided, a resistance feeling is added to the resistance feeling by the rotational movement detection unit 810 as a load that can be changed according to the input operation by the regulation unit 900. What is necessary is just to be a structure, the range of the magnitude | size of the load to be set can be set larger, and it also becomes possible to make it respond | correspond to a user preference more.

  Further, the rotational movement detection unit 810 of the movement status detection unit 800 is engaged with the first gear 623 and rotates in accordance with the rotation of the jog table 610, and is substantially coaxial with the detection gear 812. A rotation detection plate 813 that is integrally attached, and a rotation detection sensor 814 that detects a rotation speed and a rotation direction of the rotation detection plate 813 and outputs a detection signal as a movement state of the rotating body portion 600 are provided. Therefore, the detection gear 812 and the rotation detection plate 813 rotate corresponding to the rotation of the jog table unit 610, and the rotation detection sensor 814 detects the rotation state of the rotation detection plate, so that the rotation direction of the rotating body unit 600 can be easily performed. And rotation speed can be detected with a simple configuration. Further, since the rotation of the jog table unit 610 is directly transmitted to the detection gear 812 and the rotation detection plate 813, the rotation of the rotating body unit 600 can be accurately detected.

  In addition, the reproduction system 100 having a system configuration in which the output unit 200 is connected to the information processing apparatus 300 to reproduce and output the processed information is constructed. For this reason, since various apparatus configurations can be selectively used as the configuration of the output means 200, it can be played back corresponding to the output environment such as outdoors, indoors, wide spaces, narrow spaces, etc., and versatility can be improved.

[Modification of Embodiment]
The present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various improvements and design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Is possible.

  That is, the switch device 500 has been described with a shape simulating a turntable in a record player for playing a record board, but any shape can be used. For example, the jog table unit 610 is not limited to a disk shape, but may be any shape such as a prismatic shape or a shape having a star shape or a motif of various characters in plan view.

  For example, the configuration of processing music information as the information processing apparatus 300 suitable for DJ performance has been described, but the information to be processed is not limited to music information, and any information such as image information and character information is processed. Can also be configured. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to a device used by a DJ player, and can be applied as a playback device that plays back any information.

  Further, although the reproduction system 100 having a system configuration in which the output unit 200 is connected to the information processing apparatus 300 has been described, an apparatus configuration in which the output unit 200 is integrally provided in the information processing apparatus 300 may be employed.

  Further, for example, a predetermined program is installed in a computer to form information processing means and processing control means, and a switch device 500 is connected to the computer to process information by the computer, or a game machine in which the switch device 500 is assembled, The present invention can also be applied to a configuration in which the switch device 500 is connected as a controller of a game machine. That is, the present invention can be applied not only to a configuration for processing music data and video data but also to a configuration for processing application software, game software, and the like.

  In addition, the configuration in which both the sound generation unit 210 and the display unit 220 are provided as the output unit 200 for reproducing or outputting information has been described, but only one of them may be used.

  The load changing unit 950 that changes the magnitude of the load caused by the input operation has been described as a rotating operation. However, the load changing unit 950 is not limited to the rotating operation, but can be unidirectionally or bidirectionally such as a slide movement as shown in FIG. It is good also as a structure to move, etc. It is good also as a structure of moving to a circular arc shape besides moving to a linear form. In the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIG. 22, the operation knob portion 953 is slidably disposed on the upper surface of the main body case 301 like the tempo adjustment knob 343A in the embodiment shown in FIGS. In addition, an operation arm portion 953A is integrally formed to project from the operation knob portion 953 in a direction intersecting the slide movement direction. For example, the operation arm portion 953A is provided with a bulging engagement portion 958 formed in a spherical shape, for example. Further, an operation arm as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 is provided on the other end side in the longitudinal direction of the motion transmission flange 961 pivotally supported so that one end side is in contact with the biasing plate 914 of the load setting means 910. The lower end of the portion 953A is slidably slidably provided, and a plurality of engaging recesses 956 are provided along the sliding movement direction of the operation knob portion 953. That is, the operating arm portion 953A is an urging plate positioned below from a state in which one end side of the operation transmitting flange portion 961 contacts the urging coil spring 915 so as not to be elastically deformed in the sliding movement range of the operation knob portion 953. The length dimension is set so as to slide in a rotating state until the 914 is moved in a direction approaching the urging plate 914 positioned above to elastically deform the urging coil spring 915. . Then, by sliding the operation knob portion 953, the top end portion of the bulge locking portion 958 of the operation arm portion 953 A is engaged with and disengaged from the engagement recess 956 on the upper surface, which is the opposite surface of the motion transmission flange 961. While sliding, the motion transmission collar 961 is rotated to change the magnitude of the load. Even with the configuration as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, it is possible to achieve the same effects as the above-described embodiment.

  In addition, the configuration in which the operation knob portion 953 protrudes from the upper surface of the main body case 301 has been described. However, for example, as illustrated in FIGS. As shown, the operation knob 953 protrudes from the outer surface of the main body case 301. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 25, the operation knob portion 953 may be inserted into the outer surface of the main body case 301 so that the input operation cannot be performed in order to maintain the state after the load magnitude changing operation is completed. . Such a configuration can be implemented by providing a cam mechanism that rotates by the push-down operation so that the protruding state and the depressed state are switched every time the push-down operation is performed, such as a so-called knock-type ballpoint pen. According to the configuration shown in FIGS. 24 and 25, it is only necessary to project the load by changing the magnitude of the load, and the operation knob portion 953 does not get in the way during normal DJ performance or transport. , Improve usability. Furthermore, since the input operation cannot be performed by being immersed, the set load can be easily maintained.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 26, the operation knob portion 953 may be disposed in a state in which it is difficult to perform an input operation in a normal state other than a configuration in which the operation knob portion 953 can be protruded / immersed. For example, as shown in FIG. 26, an operation recess 301A is provided on the outer surface of the main body case 301, and the operation knob portion 953 does not protrude from the outer surface of the main body case 301 into the operation recess 301A. A finger is inserted into 301A and the operation knob 953 is arranged in a state where it can be rotated. Even in such a configuration, the operation knob portion 953 can improve the usability without being in the way during normal DJ performance or transport, and the user is proactive when changing the size of the load. In addition, since it is necessary to insert a finger into the operation recess 301A, the operation knob portion 953 becomes difficult to operate, and the set load magnitude can be kept simple.

  Further, for example, the operation knob portion 953 for performing an input operation may not be provided, and the rotation movement and the slide movement may be made possible by using a tool such as a screwdriver or a wrench. According to such a configuration, the operation knob portion 953 does not protrude, and it is only necessary to make the portion that can be engaged with the tool face the outer surface of the main body case 301. It is possible to reliably prevent the load from being changed due to inadvertent touching.

  In addition, the load changing means 950 is described so that the operation knob portion 953 faces the upper surface of the main body case 301, that is, the same surface as the surface of the rotating body portion 600. You may arrange | position in the state which faces a front surface or a bottom face. As described above, by disposing the rotating body unit 600 on a surface different from the surface on which the rotating body unit 600 faces, there is no inconvenience such as an obstacle to the operation of the rotating unit unit 600, and at the time of operating the rotating unit unit 600 and various buttons. It is possible to prevent inconveniences such as touching by mistake and changing the size of the load. In the case of the side surface, it is easy to operate the operation knob portion 953 while performing the setting input operation of the rotating body portion 600, and the load size is adjusted while confirming the operational feeling of the rotating body portion 600. Can be easily done. In addition, when provided on the back side, it is possible to adjust the magnitude of the load in the arrangement state during normal use, and it is relatively difficult to operate the operation knob portion 953, and it is difficult to accidentally touch it, The size of the load is less likely to be changed carelessly. And, when it is provided on the bottom, it is difficult to adjust the magnitude of the load, for example by laying the main body case 301, for setting operation, and it can be prevented from being touched accidentally during normal use. Thus, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the size of the load is changed more carelessly.

  And as a structure which provides the operation knob part 953 in the surface which adjoins the state substantially orthogonal to the surface which the rotary body part 600 faces, such as a side surface and a back surface, the structure as shown in FIG. 27 can be illustrated, for example. That is, in the configuration shown in FIG. 27, the rotation shaft is set in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction in which the operation shaft portion 951 provided with one end of the operation knob portion 953 is caused to generate frictional resistance by the urging force of the load setting means 910. It is arranged so as to be rotatable. Then, a motion transmission piece portion 970 as a motion portion is provided in a tongue shape outwardly on the outer peripheral surface of the operation shaft portion 951. In FIG. 27, a dropout prevention member 971 provided at the lower end, which is the tip of the shaft support shaft portion 912, is prevented from falling off and is attached between an urging plate 914 supported by the shaft support shaft portion 912 and a washer 913. A force coil spring 915 is disposed, and the motion transmission piece 970 comes into contact with the shaft 912 so that the shaft shaft 912 does not rattle with the motion transmission piece 970 that rotates together with the rotation of the operation shaft 951. An urging member 972 corresponding to the urging plate 914 set to a certain thickness is provided so as to be movable in the direction. Then, by rotating the operation transmitting piece 970 together with the operation shaft 951 rotated by the rotation operation of the operation knob 953, the urging member 972 appropriately crushes the urging coil spring 915 to generate the urging force. Cause frictional resistance. Similar effects can be obtained with the configuration shown in FIG.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 27, even if the operation transmitting piece 970 is rotated in a direction away from the urging member 972, the magnitude of the load is not changed. You may set the range in which rotation is possible. For example, as shown in FIG. 28, a configuration in which, for example, a rotation operation that is an input operation of the operation knob portion 953 is limited to a predetermined range, such as various output adjustment knobs, may be employed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28, a position display 953A1 indicating the position is provided on the operation knob portion 953 so that the position rotated by the rotation operation of the operation knob portion 953 can be visually recognized by the user. Is provided with a movement range display 953A2 that can be rotated at the position of the position display 953A1. By providing such a position display 953A1 and a movement range display 953A2, the magnitude of the load caused by the input operation, the range that can be operated by the user, etc. can be easily recognized, and the usability can be improved particularly in the configuration in which the movable range is set. . Note that any of the display forms of the position display 953A1 and the movement range display 953A2 can be used. Then, as the moving range display 953A2, for example, as the load size increases, the width of the band-like display indicating the range gradually becomes wider. It is good also as a display form corresponding to this. As a result, the user can recognize the state of the load caused by the input operation even by visual observation, and the usability can be further improved.

It is provided in a state protruding toward the biasing coil spring 915 in the state. These urging generation ribs 973 are formed so that the end surfaces on the side protruding so as to gradually increase in the protruding direction in the circumferential direction are inclined. Further, as shown in FIG. 30, the urging plate 914 that constitutes the operating portion located on the side from which the urging generation rib 973 of the urging generation member 972 protrudes is a shaft support shaft portion 912 that supports the load setting means 910. A rotation restricting groove portion 914A engaged with a rotation restricting rib 912A provided in a wall shape along the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft supporting shaft portion 912 is formed in a concave groove shape along the axial direction. And is supported so as to be slidable in the axial direction of the shaft support shaft portion 912 and non-rotatable. Further, on the outer peripheral surface of the urging plate 914, as shown in FIG. 31, a plurality of sliding pins 914B projecting outward, for example, three correspondingly to the urging generating ribs 973 at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Is provided. These sliding pins 914B are provided so as to be slidable on the inclined end surface of the urging generation rib 973.

The end plate is moved to a relatively sliding state, and the urging plate 914 is moved in the axial direction of the support shaft portion 912 so as to be close to or separated from the restriction gear 911. By moving the biasing plate 914, the biasing coil spring 915 is crushed or expanded to a restored state, thereby pressing the washer 913 against the restriction gear 911 according to the biasing force to generate a frictional resistance. Set to the size of the load. Similar effects can be obtained with the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIGS. Even in this configuration, for example, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 28, the rotation range of the operation knob portion 953 is restricted, or a click-like operation feeling is provided as in the embodiment shown in FIG. The operation position holding means 959 that holds the magnitude of the load set by the input operation while providing the information may be configured.

  Further, for example, as a configuration in which the operation knob portion 953 is provided on the surface located on the opposite side to the upper surface facing the rotating body portion 600 that becomes the bottom surface of the main body case 301, for example, a configuration as shown in FIG. .

The operation shaft portion 951 is integrally provided with a retaining collar portion 951C that protrudes like a collar and is supported by the retaining regulation portion 711B. Further, an urging coil spring 915 is disposed between the retaining collar 951 </ b> C and the urging plate 914 that is fitted and supported by the shaft support shaft 912 so as to be stacked on the washer 913.

  When the operation shaft portion 951 is rotated by the rotation operation of the operation knob portion 953, the operation male screw portion 951A moves relative to the axially supported female screw portion 912B to be screwed, and the retaining rod portion 951C is biased. The urging coil spring 915 moves relative to the state close to or away from the plate 914, and extends to a state where it is crushed or restored. As a result, the urging plate 914 presses the washer 913 against the restriction gear 911 in accordance with the urging force of the urging coil spring 915 to generate a frictional resistance, which is set to a predetermined load. Similar effects can be achieved with the configuration shown in FIG. In this configuration as well, as in the configuration shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 of the above-described embodiment, the engagement recess 956 is provided in the retaining collar portion 951C, and the locking piece portion 957 is provided in the retention regulating portion 711B. The operation position holding means 959 that holds the magnitude of the load set by the input operation while providing a click-like operation feeling may be configured.

  And, as a configuration for maintaining the magnitude of the load set by the input operation while providing a click-like operation feeling, it has a stage setting portion 955 having an engagement recess 956 and a bulging engagement portion 958. The operation position holding means 959 provided with the locking piece 957 and the configuration using the operation position holding means 959 as shown in FIG. 29 are not limited, and for example, there is a concavo-convex relationship between the engaging recess 956 and the bulging locking portion 958.

  In addition, the urging plate 914 as a washer is pressed by the urging coil spring 915 via the washer 913 disposed at both ends of the restriction gear 911. If the urging plate 914 functions as a washer, the urging plate 914 may be pressed against the end surface of the restriction gear 911.

  In addition, although one restricting means 900 has been described, for example, a pair may be provided in the diameter direction of the rotating body portion 600, or a plurality may be provided so as to be approximately equally divided in the circumferential direction of the rotating body portion 600. In addition, when providing with two or more, you may be set as the structure which can set a load interlockingly, or can set a load each independently. According to the configuration in which a plurality of such restricting means 900 are provided, resistance is generated in the rotating body portion 600 at a plurality of locations in the circumferential direction, and the rotating body portion 600 can be stably operated at any position. A load during a rotating operation can be generated, a better operational feeling can be obtained, a stable rotation of the rotating body portion 600 can be obtained, and a better DJ performance can be provided.

  In addition, the restriction gear 911 has been described as the configuration for changing the magnitude of the load. For example, the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the guide rib portion 621 of the jog table portion 610 in the embodiment shown in FIGS. Or it is good also as a structure which regulates rotation of this rotation member using the tire-shaped rotation member which an outer peripheral surface contacts the inner surface etc. which become the lower surface of the table board 611. Furthermore, without using a rotating member, for example, a leaf spring or a brush-like member is slidably contacted with the rotating body portion 600, and the magnitude of the frictional resistance generated is changed by changing the pressure-bonding strength at the time of the sliding contact. The magnitude of the load may be changed accordingly.

  Furthermore, the configuration is not limited to the configuration in which the magnitude of the load is set by the frictional resistance. For example, a magnetic force such as a linear motor may be used. Specifically, on the back surface of the table plate 611, a plurality of magnets are arranged in a state in which the magnetic poles are alternately different in a circumferential shape concentric with the rotation center of the rotating body portion 600, and at the positions where these magnets are arranged. An electromagnet is provided as a magnetism generating means for generating a magnetic force in a state where the magnetic poles are appropriately different from each other. You may do it.

  Moreover, as a structure using magnetic force, it is good also as a structure as shown, for example in FIG. That is, in the configuration shown in FIG. 35, for example, instead of the load setting means 910 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 22, a configuration in which a load is generated by a magnetic force is applied. In FIG. 35, the load setting means 910 has a metal plate portion 981 as a magnetic member formed in a substantially cylindrical shape attached to the lower surface of the table plate 611 in the jog table portion 610 of the rotating body portion 600. The metal plate portion 981 is attached in a state of being located on the inner peripheral side of a guide rib portion (not shown) in a state where the central axis is positioned substantially coaxially with the central axis of the table plate 611. Further, in the vicinity of the lower end edge of the metal plate portion 981, an action convex portion 981A is provided that protrudes along the circumferential direction so as to bulge toward the outer peripheral surface. The top plate portion 711 of the pedestal portion 710 is provided with a groove 711B on the circumference at a position corresponding to the metal plate portion 981.

  The load setting means 980 has an annular support shaft portion 912 that is provided on the lower surface of the top plate portion 711 so as to protrude downward substantially parallel to the central axis of the cylindrical portion 712. The mover 982 is provided. Note that an unillustrated drop-off preventing member (not shown) is provided at the lower end of the pivot shaft portion 912. The drop-out preventing member protrudes outward and is positioned and supported so that the mover 982 does not drop off. Further, similarly to the embodiment shown in FIG. 30, a rotation restricting rib (not shown) provided in a wall shape along the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft support shaft portion 912 is engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the moving element 982. The rotation restricting groove portion to be joined is formed in a concave groove shape along the axial direction. The mover 982 has a lower surface on which the pushing convex portion 963 of the motion transmission collar 961 of the load changing means 950 is abutted, and the motion transmission collar 961 that is swung by the rotation operation of the operation knob 953 is The support shaft portion 912 is supported by the support shaft portion 912 so as to be slidable in the axial direction and not rotatable. A magnet 983 is integrally provided on the outer peripheral surface of the moving element 982 at a position substantially facing the metal plate portion 981, that is, a position facing the center side of the top plate portion 711.

  Further, an urging coil spring 915 is disposed between the moving element 982 and the lower surface of the top plate portion 711. Then, the movement transmitting flange 961 that is swung by the rotation operation of the operation knob 953 is elastically deformed so that the urging coil spring 915 is crushed in the axial direction so that the moving element 982 is placed on the lower surface of the top plate 711. By moving in the direction, the gap between the magnet 983 of the moving element 982 and the metal plate portion 981 is narrowed, the attractive force with the metal plate portion 981 is increased by the magnetic force of the magnet 983, and the load increases. On the contrary, when the moving element 982 is moved downwardly away from the lower surface of the top plate portion 711 by the restoring force of the biasing coil spring 915, the gap between the magnet 983 and the metal plate portion 981 widens, and the magnetic force of the magnet 983 is increased. Thus, the attractive force with the metal plate portion 981 is weakened, and the load is reduced. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 35, the same operational effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be obtained. In addition, since the operation convex part 981A which protrudes along the circumferential direction is provided in the state which bulges to the outer peripheral surface side near the lower end edge of the metal plate part 981, by setting the magnet 983 to the closest position, The magnetic force acts on the use and a strong attractive force is generated, and the range of load adjustment can be set large with a simple configuration. Furthermore, even if the magnet 983 and the metal plate portion 981 come into contact with each other, a point contact state on a substantially convex curved surface is brought about, and inconveniences such as being caught during the rotation operation of the rotating body portion 600 can be prevented. The magnetic member is not limited to a configuration formed of a metal plate, but may be a magnet magnetized, that is, a magnet. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which has arrange | positioned the magnet in the rotary body part 600 side, and has arrange | positioned the magnetic member in the base part 710 side.

  Furthermore, in addition to the configuration that mechanically generates a load, a configuration that uses the above-described magnetic force or a configuration that appropriately changes the pressure of the friction member by electrical control may be used. Specifically, a configuration as shown in FIG. 36 can be exemplified as a configuration for changing the load by changing the magnitude of the frictional resistance by electrical control. In the configuration shown in FIG. 36, an endless belt 992 is stretched around the restriction gear 911 and the output shaft 991 of the electric motor 990, and the transmission gear portion 993 that rotates by driving of the electric motor 990 is engaged. Further, for example, the information processing unit 400 performs electric driving in response to an input operation detection signal that is a setting operation signal of a different current value generated by an input operation of a variable resistor as a setting signal output unit connected to an operation knob unit (not shown). The driving state of the motor 990 is controlled. In such a configuration, the rotational speed of the outer periphery of the restriction gear 911 that rotates through the endless belt 992 and the transmission gear portion 993 by the driving force of the electric motor 990 and the rotational speed of the first gear of the rotating body (not shown). The difference is the load as the operational feeling.

  Then, for example, the rotational movement detecting means 810 detects the rotational direction and rotational speed of the rotating body portion 600, and the information processing means 400 appropriately drives the electric motor 990 according to the input operation detection signal to rotate the restriction gear 911. Control the speed to change appropriately. In addition, due to the rotational speed difference, frictional resistance is generated between the endless belt 992 and the transmission gear portion 993 and the output shaft 991, or rotational load is generated on the output shaft 991 of the electric motor 990 due to the rotational speed difference. The rotation load of the output shaft is generated as a load as an operational feeling. Similarly, in the configuration using the above-described magnetic force, the information processing unit 400 controls the rotation direction and the rotation speed of the rotating body 600 that detects the timing of the magnetic pole generated by the electromagnet, and the input operation detection signal. Based on the above, the magnitude of the magnetic force may be changed to control the repulsion or attractive magnetic force. Further, by using a non-contact type utilizing this magnetic force, resistance during smooth rotation can be obtained, and generation of noise can be prevented.

  In a configuration in which the friction resistance is changed by such electrical control to change the load, or the load due to the magnetic force described above is changed, the set state is stored by storing the set state in a memory or the like. Can hold. In addition, the electrical control is not limited to a configuration in which the load is increased. As described above, for example, the load is reduced by assisting or assisting the rotational movement in the rotational operation direction. A configuration for changing or changing to an increasing / decreasing state can be easily obtained, and the load can be adjusted to a magnitude corresponding to the user's preference. In addition, in the structure which changes to the state which reduces the magnitude | size of the load by assisting rotational movement, generation | occurrence | production of a feeling of fatigue can be suppressed, for example also by long-term DJ performance, and a favorable usability | use_condition is obtained.

  Furthermore, it is possible to easily display the magnitude of the load, for example, numerically by electrical control, and it is easier to adjust or change the magnitude of the load. Furthermore, by making use of electrical control, it is possible to set the size of a plurality of loads, so that it is possible to set the size of the load for each content of the DJ performance, which further improves usability. . Furthermore, by using electrical control, for example, as with a conventional turntable of a record player, during the setting input operation on the opposite side of the magnitude of the load during the setting input operation in the direction in which the turntable rotates. It is also possible to easily set different load sizes. By adopting such a configuration, a feeling of operation as if a conventional turntable of a record player is rotated can be further obtained with a simple configuration. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a DJ performance method that reproduces music data and the like with an operational feeling similar to that of a conventional record player.

  Further, not limited to the rotating body unit 600, the movement may be restricted depending on the movement state by the setting input operation of another switch unit 340. Further, the present invention is not limited to the information processing apparatus 300 described above, and can be applied to a switch apparatus that performs setting input operation of any other apparatus.

  As described above, the configuration of the pressure detection unit 820 is not limited to the configuration using the tape-like switch 821, and any configuration capable of detecting pressure or contact such as using a pressure sensor or a piezoelectric element. May be used. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure arrange | positioned not only in the case where it arrange | positions in the collar part 713 but in any position which can detect press and a contact, such as the top-plate part 711.

  In addition, the specific structure and procedure for carrying out the present invention can be appropriately changed to other structures and the like within a range in which the object of the present invention can be achieved.
