It is positioned up and down and can rotate integrally with the case 50. Further, since the push button knob housing portion 15 is partially blocked by the elastic arm portion 75 of the click plate 70, the main body portion 31 of the push button knob 30 does not come out of the push button knob housing portion 15.

次に図４に示すフレキシブル回路基板１７０の第１回路基板部１７１をその下面を上に向けた状態で取付台１５０上に載置し、その際第１回路基板部１７１の開口部１７７に取付台１５０の軸部１５３及びクリック係合部１６５を挿通し、これらを前記回転つまみ１０等を取り付けたケース５０の下側に設置する。その際ケース５０の各取付台取付部５７を第１回路基板部１７１の各挿通部１８１と取付台１５０の各取付部１５７に挿入し、取付台１５０の下面から突出する各取付台取付部５７の先端を熱かしめして固定する。このとき押釦つまみ３０の押圧部３３は取付台１５０の軸部１５３の内部（開口部１５１内）に挿入され押圧部３３の下端は取付台１５０の下面に露出する。次に連結部１７３を折り曲げることで第２回路基板部１７５を取付台１５０の下面側に設置し、さらに第２回路基板部１７５の下面側に保持板１９０を設置した上で、回転つまみ１０の上部から被せるように支持部材１３０を第２回路基板部１７５上に設置する。このとき支持部材１３０の開口１３１内に前記ケース５０や取付台１５０等が設置され、また支持部材１３０の各係合部１３５内に取付台１５０の各係合片１５９が所定の短い寸法上下動自在に挿入され、さらに支持部材１３０の各取付部１３７が第２回路基板部１７５の各挿通部１８７と保持板１９０の各挿通部１９１に挿入される。またこのとき折り曲げた連結部１７３は支持部材１３０の基板挿入部１３９に位置する。そして保持板１９０の下面から突出する各取付部１３７の先端を熱かしめすれば、クリック機能付き電子部品１の組立が完了する。なお上記組立手順はその一例であり、他の各種異なる組立手順を用いて組み立てても良いことはいうまでもない。 Next, the first circuit board portion 171 of the flexible circuit board 170 shown in FIG. 4 is placed on the mounting base 150 with its lower surface facing upward, and then attached to the opening 177 of the first circuit board portion 171. The shaft portion 153 and the click engagement portion 165 of the base 150 are inserted, and these are installed below the case 50 to which the rotary knob 10 or the like is attached. At that time, each mounting base mounting portion 57 of the case 50 is inserted into each insertion portion 181 of the first circuit board portion 171 and each mounting portion 157 of the mounting base 150, and each mounting base mounting portion 57 protruding from the lower surface of the mounting base 150. Fix the tip of the tube by heat. At this time, the pressing portion 33 of the push button knob 30 is inserted into the shaft portion 153 of the mounting base 150 (inside the opening 151), and the lower end of the pressing portion 33 is exposed on the lower surface of the mounting base 150. Next, the second circuit board part 175 is installed on the lower surface side of the mounting base 150 by bending the connecting part 173, and the holding plate 190 is installed on the lower surface side of the second circuit board part 175. The support member 130 is installed on the second circuit board portion 175 so as to be covered from above. At this time, the case 50, the mounting base 150, etc. are installed in the opening 131 of the support member 130, and each engagement piece 159 of the mounting base 150 moves up and down by a predetermined short dimension in each engagement portion 135 of the support member 130. Further, each attachment portion 137 of the support member 130 is inserted into each insertion portion 187 of the second circuit board portion 175 and each insertion portion 191 of the holding plate 190. Further, at this time, the bent connection portion 173 is located at the board insertion portion 139 of the support member 130. And if the front-end | tip of each attaching part 137 which protrudes from the lower surface of the holding | maintenance board 190 is heat caulked, the assembly of the electronic component 1 with a click function will be completed. The above assembling procedure is an example, and it goes without saying that the assembly may be performed using other various assembling procedures.

これによりケース５０の上部に設置した回転つまみ１０と、ケース５０の下部に設置したクリック板７０及び摺動子１１０が、ケース５０の上下でケース５０に対して一体に回転自在に設置される。またこのときクリック板７０のクリック弾接部７９は取付台１５０のクリック係合部１６５に弾接係合した状態となり、また摺動子１１０の接点部１１７は第１回路基板部１７１の摺接パターン１７９に当接した状態となっている。また押釦つまみ３０の押圧部３３の下面は中央スイッチ１８３の反転板１８３ａに当接して上方向に押し上げられ、つば部３７の上面が回転つまみ１０の下面に接近又は当接している。また取付台１５０は各押圧部１６３が各押圧スイッチ１８５の反転板１８５ａに当接して水平状態を保っている。 As a result, the rotary knob 10 installed at the upper part of the case 50 and the click plate 70 and the slider 110 installed at the lower part of the case 50 are installed so as to be rotatable integrally with the case 50 above and below the case 50. At this time, the click elastic contact portion 79 of the click plate 70 is elastically engaged with the click engagement portion 165 of the mounting base 150, and the contact portion 117 of the slider 110 is in sliding contact with the first circuit board portion 171. The pattern is in contact with the pattern 179. Further, the lower surface of the pressing portion 33 of the push button knob 30 abuts against the reversing plate 183 a of the central switch 183 and is pushed upward, and the upper surface of the collar portion 37 approaches or contacts the lower surface of the rotary knob 10. Further, the mounting base 150 maintains a horizontal state with each pressing portion 163 abutting against the reversing plate 185 a of each pressing switch 185.

そして回転つまみ１０の本体部１１を指などで回転すれば、クリック板７０と摺動子１１０とが回転つまみ１０と一体に回転し、摺動子１１０の接点部１１７が摺接パターン１７９上を摺動して摺接パターン１７９の電気的出力が変化する。同時に、クリック板７０のクリック弾接部７９が取付台１５０のクリック係合部１６５に弾接係合してクリック感覚が生じる。 When the main body 11 of the rotary knob 10 is rotated with a finger or the like, the click plate 70 and the slider 110 rotate together with the rotary knob 10, and the contact part 117 of the slider 110 moves on the sliding contact pattern 179. By sliding, the electrical output of the sliding contact pattern 179 changes. At the same time, the click elastic contact portion 79 of the click plate 70 is elastically engaged with the click engagement portion 165 of the mounting base 150, and a click feeling is generated.

一方押釦つまみ３０の操作部３５を押圧すれば、押釦つまみ３０が下降してその押圧部３３が中央スイッチ１８３の反転板１８３ａを押圧して反転し、中央スイッチ１８３がオンする。押釦つまみ３０への押圧を解除すれば反転板１８３ａの弾性復帰力によって中央スイッチ１８３はオフする。また回転つまみ１０の本体部１１上面の前記取付台１５０の４か所の押圧部１６３の何れかに対応する部分を押圧すれば、ケース５０や押釦つまみ３０等、取付台１５０上に設置されている構成部品が取付台１５０と一体に押圧された方向に傾いて揺動し、下降した側の押圧部１６３が対向する押圧スイッチ１８５の反転板１８３ａを押圧して反転し、押圧スイッチ１８５がオンする。回転つまみ１０への押圧を解除すれば、反転している反転板１８５ａの弾性復帰力によって回転つまみ１０及び取付台１５０等の各構成部品が一体に元の位置に自動復帰し、押圧スイッチ１８５がオフする。 On the other hand, when the operation part 35 of the push button knob 30 is pressed, the push button knob 30 is lowered, the pressing part 33 presses the reverse plate 183a of the central switch 183, and the central switch 183 is turned on. If the push on the push button knob 30 is released, the central switch 183 is turned off by the elastic restoring force of the reversing plate 183a. If the portion corresponding to any of the four pressing portions 163 of the mounting base 150 on the upper surface of the main body 11 of the rotary knob 10 is pressed, the case 50, the push button knob 30 and the like are installed on the mounting base 150. The component parts that have been tilted and swung in the direction of being pressed together with the mounting base 150, the pressing part 163 on the lowered side presses the reverse plate 183a of the pressing switch 185 facing and reverses, and the pressing switch 185 is turned on. To do. When the pressure on the rotary knob 10 is released, the components such as the rotary knob 10 and the mounting base 150 are automatically returned to their original positions by the elastic return force of the inverted reversing plate 185a, and the pressure switch 185 is turned on. Turn off.

A push button knob 30 installed in an opening 13 provided in the center of the rotary knob 10, and a central switch 183 that is turned on / off by the push button knob 30, and the push button knob 30 of the opening 13 of the rotary knob 10 In the lower space C, the click ball contact portion 79 that rotates integrally with the rotary knob 10 and the click ball contact portion 79 elastically touches while rotating, giving a click feeling. The click mechanism comprising and a click engagement portion 165 to the time difference is configured by installing. In this way, the click mechanism having the click elastic contact portion 79 and the click engagement portion 165 is used to move the space C below the push button knob 30 of the opening 13 at the center of the rotary knob 10 (the push button knob 30 is moved up and down. Therefore, it is not necessary to install a click mechanism in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the case 50, and the outer diameter of the electronic component 1 with a click function can be reduced.

またこのクリック機能付き電子部品１においては、回転体をクリック板７０で構成するとともに、摺動子１１０をこのクリック板７０に取り付けたので、従来設置していた成形樹脂製の回転体が不要になり、クリック機能付き電子部品１の厚みの薄型化が図れる。 In addition, in the electronic component 1 with a click function, the rotating body is constituted by the click plate 70, and the slider 110 is attached to the click plate 70, so that a conventionally formed molded resin rotating body is unnecessary. Thus, the thickness of the electronic component 1 with a click function can be reduced.

またこのクリック機能付き電子部品１は、ケース５０を載置する取付台１５０と、この取付台１５０を揺動自在に支持する支持部材１３０と、取付台１５０の揺動によって押圧される押圧スイッチ１８５とを具備して構成されており、これによって回転式電子部品と押圧式電子部品と揺動式電子部品の機能を一体化した多機能型のクリック機能付き電子部品１がコンパクト（外径の小型化と厚みの薄型化）に構成されている。 The electronic component 1 with a click function includes a mounting base 150 on which the case 50 is placed, a support member 130 that swingably supports the mounting base 150, and a press switch 185 that is pressed by the swinging of the mounting base 150. The multi-functional click function electronic component 1 that integrates the functions of the rotary electronic component, the pressing electronic component, and the swinging electronic component is compact (the outer diameter is small). And reduction in thickness).
