When the moving element 30 is turned upside down), the upper slider 30 is separated from the slider holding plate and dropped onto the click plate 10, and the protrusion 15 and the guide protrusion 19 of the click plate 10 are respectively slid. Caulking and mounting holes 33 for the child 30 and guy After inserting into the dual-purpose mounting hole 34 and overlaying, the positions are accurately aligned. In this state, the protrusions 15 are crimped to integrate the two, and then the click plate 10 is separated from the click plate holding plate. To manufacture. The click plate 10 may be separated first by reversing the upper and lower positions of the click plate holding plate and the slider holding plate. Thus, since the protrusion 15 of the click plate 10 is inserted into the caulking and mounting hole 33 of the slider 30 and aligned, the tip of the protrusion 15 is caulked to manufacture the integrated plate 50, so that the manufacture can be easily automated. Can be aimed at. Furthermore, if the small click plate 10 and the slider 30 are separately attached to the rotary knob 110 of the molded product described below as in the prior art, their attaching work is complicated and workability is poor. On the other hand, the work of integrating the click plate 10 made of a flat metal plate and the slider 30 in advance can be easily performed as described above even if they are small. Then, the mounting of the integrated plate 50 to the rotary knob 110 can be performed by a single mounting operation. Accordingly, the click plate 10 and the slider 30 can be easily attached to the rotary knob 110 described below.

  Next, a method for assembling the rotary electronic component 1 will be described. First, as described above, the click plate 10 and the slider 30 are integrated to assemble the integrated plate 50. Next, the main body 131 of the push button knob 130 is inserted from below the opening 113 of the rotary knob 110, and the operation part 135 is exposed from the opening 113 to the upper surface side of the rotary knob 110. Next, the case 150 is installed on the lower side of the rotary knob 110 and the push button knob 130, and at this time, the shaft portion 117 of the rotary knob 110 is inserted into the opening 153 of the case 150 from the upper side to thereby rotate the rotary knob on the upper portion of the case 150. 110 is rotatably installed.

  Next, the integrated plate 50 is installed on the lower surface side of the case 150. At this time, the pressing plate 133 and the rotation stopper 139 of the push button knob 130 are inserted into the central hole (the opening 12 and the opening 31) of the integrated plate 50, and the click plate. 10 mounting portions 11 are mounted on the mounting surface 119 of the rotary knob 110, and at the same time, the guide mounting holes 14 and the guides are also aligned with the openings 40 in the center of the projections 15 where the mounting projections 121 are caulked. Insert into the mounting hole 34. Then, the tip of each mounting projection 121 is crushed by heat caulking, thereby attaching the click plate 10 and the integral plate 50 of the slider 30 to the rotary knob 110. At this time, the attaching portion 11 of the click plate 10 is in contact with the integral plate abutting portion 163 of the case 150 at the outer peripheral portion, so that the rotary knob 110 and the integral plate 50 are positioned above and below the case 150, The case 150 can be rotated integrally therewith. Further, since the lower portion of the opening 113 is partially blocked by the integrated plate 50, the main body 131 including the collar portion 137 of the push button knob 130 does not come out of the opening 113.

  As described above, since the integrated plate 50 is attached to the rotary knob 110 using the opening 40 of the caulking / combining mounting hole 13 after caulking, the caulking / combining mounting hole 13 (caulking / combining mounting hole 33) It can be used not only for fixing between the click plate 10 and the slider 30 but also for fixing between the integrated plate 50 and the rotary knob 110. That is, the fixed portion between the slider 30 and the click plate 10 and the fixed portion between the integrated plate 50 and the rotary knob 110 become the same portion, and thereby the mounting surface 119 of the rotary knob 110 to which the integrated plate 50 and the integrated plate 50 are attached. It is possible to securely fix the gap, and it is possible to reduce the size of the integrated plate 50 and the rotary knob 110, and consequently the size of the rotary electronic component 1 using these. Also, the mounting work of the integrated plate 50 to the rotary knob 110 can be easily performed. That is, if it is not combined as described above, the attachment protrusion 121 cannot be provided in the portion where the protrusion 15 is provided, so that the attachment strength of the integrated plate 50 by the attachment protrusion 121 becomes weak, and the fixing between the two is not reliable. . On the other hand, when three mounting projections 121 are provided in consideration of strength, a guide / mounting hole 14 (guide / mounting mounting hole 34) must be separately provided at a position other than the portion where the projection 15 is provided. The board 10 and the like are increased in size, and as a result, the rotary electronic component 1 cannot be reduced in size.

  Next, the assembly method of the rotary electronic component 1 will be described. The first flexible circuit board 180 is placed on the mount 190, and the shaft portion 193 of the mount 190 is attached to the opening 181 of the first flexible circuit board 180. These are inserted and installed below the case 150 to which the rotary knob 110 or the like is attached. At that time, each mounting base mounting part 161 of the case 150 is inserted into each insertion part 185 of the first flexible circuit board 180 and each mounting part 195 of the mounting base 190, and each mounting base mounting part 161 protruding from the lower surface of the mounting base 190. Fix the tip of the tube by heat. At this time, the pressing portion 133 and the rotation stopper 139 of the push button knob 130 are inserted into the opening 191 of the mounting base 190, and the lower end of the pressing portion 133 is exposed on the lower surface of the mounting base 190. Next, the second flexible circuit board 210 is installed on the lower surface side of the mounting base 190, and the holding plate 230 is installed on the lower surface side of the second flexible circuit board 210. 170 is installed on the second flexible circuit board 210. At this time, the case 150, the mounting base 190, and the like are installed in the opening 171 of the support member 170, and each engagement piece 197 of the mounting base 190 is vertically moved in a predetermined short dimension in each engagement portion 173 of the support member 170. Further, each attachment portion 175 of the support member 170 is inserted into each insertion portion 215 of the second flexible circuit board 210 and each insertion attachment portion 231 of the holding plate 230. And if the front-end | tip of each attaching part 175 which protrudes from the lower surface of the holding | maintenance board 230 is heat caulked, the assembly of the rotary electronic component 1 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.

  When the rotary knob 110 is rotated with a finger or the like, the integrated plate 50 of the click plate 10 and the slider 30 rotates integrally with the rotary knob 110, and the contact portion 37 of the slider 30 slides on the sliding contact pattern 183. The electrical output of the sliding contact pattern 183 changes by moving. At the same time, the click elastic contact portion 23 of the click plate 10 is elastically engaged with the click engagement portion 155 of the case 150 to produce a click feeling.

To do. When the pressure on the rotary knob 110 is released, the components such as the rotary knob 110 and the mounting base 190 are automatically returned to their original positions by the elastic return force of the inverted reverse plate 213a, and the press switch 213 is Turn off.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims and the specification and drawings. Is possible. Note that any shape, structure, or material not directly described in the specification and drawings is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention as long as the effects and advantages of the present invention are exhibited. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the click plate 10 and the slider 30 are integrated to form the integrated plate 50. Instead of using the click plate 10, the click elastic contact portion 23 is used as an elastic contact portion, which elastically contacts. The click engagement portion 155 of the case 150 may be used as a sliding plate for generating a sliding torque when the rotary knob 110 is rotated by using a flat elastic contact surface without unevenness. Further, by omitting the click ball contact portion 23 and the ball contact arm portion 21 of the click plate 10 and only the mounting portion 11, it has a function of only a slip prevention plate that prevents the rotation knob 110 from coming off from the case 150. It may be used as In short, as long as it is a plate material to which the slider 30 is attached, various slider attachment plates having functions other than the click plate 10 may be used.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the projection 15 facing the slider 30 is provided in the caulking and mounting hole 13 of the click plate 10, but conversely, the caulking and mounting hole 33 of the slider 30 is slid from the inner periphery thereof. A substantially cylindrical projection bent to stand upward with respect to the plate surface of the moving element 30 (in the direction of the click plate 10) is provided, and this projection is inserted into the caulking and mounting hole 13 of the click plate 10 You may comprise so that it may caulk. In this case, the mounting protrusion 121 is inserted into the opening of the caulking / combining mounting hole 33 after caulking.

  Further, the projection 15 does not necessarily have to be formed in a cylindrical shape. For example, the protrusion 15 is erected with respect to the plate surface of the click plate 10 (slider 30) from the inner periphery of the caulking / mounting hole 13 (caulking / mounting hole 33). As long as the protrusion is bent in this way, the shape may be only a part of the cylinder, may be a tongue-like shape, or may be various other shapes such as a rod shape.

  Further, in the click plate 10, the elastic contact arm portion 21 is installed at a position surrounding the outer periphery of the attachment portion 11, but instead, a click having a structure in which the elastic contact arm portion 21 is installed inside the attachment portion 11 (in the opening 12). It may be a plate. Similarly, the shape and structure of the slider 30 can be variously modified. The number of the caulking / combination mounting holes 13 and the caulking / combination mounting holes 33 may be one or more, and is not limited to the embodiment. Accordingly, the number of the protrusions 15 may be plural.

  Moreover, although the example which used this invention for the rotary electronic component 1 was shown in the said embodiment, this invention is applicable also to other various electronic components, such as a slide type electronic component. For example, when used for a slide-type electronic component, a slider and a click plate integrated as in the present invention are attached to a slide moving body that slides, and the slide moving body is provided in a case with a linear concave shape. A structure in which the contact portion of the slider and the click elastic contact portion of the click plate are elastically contacted with a click engaging portion that is housed in the portion and exposed to the linear sliding contact pattern and the linear unevenness exposed on the inner surface of the storage portion. Etc. are considered. The slide movement direction is a concept including various directions other than the linear direction, such as an arc direction and other curved directions.

Further, a guide projection 19 is provided in the guide / mounting hole 14 of the click plate 10 so that the guide plate 19 can be automatically aligned with the guide / mounting hole 34 of the slider 30 . The guide protrusion 19 may be provided not on the guide / mounting hole 14 but on the guide / mounting hole 34 side.

  In the above example, the mounting protrusion 121 of the rotary knob 110 inserted into the opening 40 of the caulking / mounting hole 13 (or caulking / mounting hole 33) after caulking is heat caulked. It may be attached.
