Description

本発明は、防滴機能を有する回転式電子部品に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a rotary electronic component having a drip-proof function.

車載用ナビゲーションシステム、コンピュータ、各種携帯機器、各種OA機器、ゲーム機等を操作するデバイスとして、例えば特許文献1の図1に示す多機能型電子部品(1)がある。この多機能型電子部品(1)は、回転式電子部品の回転つまみ(100)の中央に、押圧式電子部品の押釦つまみ(70)を設置し、さらに回転つまみ(100)の上面を押圧して揺動することで操作する揺動式電子部品を具備して構成されている。この多機能型電子部品(1)によれば、回転式電子部品の機能と押圧式電子部品の機能と揺動式電子部品の機能とを兼ね備えた多機能型電子部品をコンパクトに構成できる。同時にこの多機能型電子部品(1)は、回転つまみ(100)の内側の表示部材(10)上に指標(15)を形成しているので、この多機能型電子部品(1)を装着する外装ケース(200)に指標を形成する必要はなく、実質的に多機能型電子部品(1)の外径の小型化が図れる。   As a device for operating an in-vehicle navigation system, a computer, various portable devices, various OA devices, a game machine, etc., there is a multifunctional electronic component (1) shown in FIG. In this multifunctional electronic component (1), a push button knob (70) of a pressing type electronic component is installed at the center of a rotating knob (100) of the rotating type electronic component, and further, the upper surface of the rotating knob (100) is pressed. And oscillating electronic parts that are operated by oscillating. According to the multi-function electronic component (1), a multi-function electronic component having both the function of a rotary electronic component, the function of a pressing electronic component, and the function of a swinging electronic component can be configured in a compact manner. At the same time, since this multifunctional electronic component (1) has the index (15) formed on the display member (10) inside the rotary knob (100), the multifunctional electronic component (1) is mounted. There is no need to form an index on the outer case (200), and the outer diameter of the multifunctional electronic component (1) can be substantially reduced.

しかしながら上記特許文献1に示す構造、即ち回転つまみ(100)の内側に表示部材(10)を設置する構造の多機能型電子部品においては、従来好適な防滴機能を備えるものはなかった。   However, none of the multi-functional electronic components having the structure shown in Patent Document 1, that is, the structure in which the display member (10) is installed inside the rotary knob (100) has a suitable drip-proof function.

一方、特許文献2に示す多機能型電子部品(1−1)には、その図1に示すように、回転つまみ(210)の張出し部(221)の下面と回転体(90)の上面との間に挟持される筒状の防滴挟持部(351)と、防滴挟持部(351)の内側の空間を覆って押釦つまみ(180)を載置する覆い板部(353)とを有する弾性部材からなる第1防滴部材(350)を設置し、同時にケース(150)と取付台(60)の間にリング形状の第2防滴部材(300)を挟持するように設置し、これによってそれぞれ部品の隙間の防滴を図る防滴構造が開示されている。   On the other hand, the multifunctional electronic component (1-1) shown in Patent Document 2 includes, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower surface of the overhang portion (221) of the rotary knob (210) and the upper surface of the rotating body (90). And a drip-proof pinching portion (351) having a cylindrical shape and a cover plate portion (353) for covering the space inside the drip-proof pinching portion (351) and mounting the push button knob (180). The first drip-proof member (350) made of an elastic member is installed, and at the same time, the ring-shaped second drip-proof member (300) is sandwiched between the case (150) and the mounting base (60). Discloses a drip-proof structure for preventing drip in a gap between components.

特許文献2に記載の防滴構造は、単に部品と部品の間に弾性部材(防滴部材)を挟持することで防滴を図る構造であり、しかも第1防滴部材(350)を挟持するのは相対的に静止している回転つまみ(210)と回転体(90)の間であり、第2防滴部材(300)を挟持するのも相対的に静止しているケース(150)と取付台(60)の間である。   The drip-proof structure described in Patent Document 2 is a structure that drip-proofs by simply holding an elastic member (drip-proof member) between components, and also holds the first drip-proof member (350). Is between the relatively stationary rotary knob (210) and the rotating body (90), and the second drip-proof member (300) is also relatively stationary with the case (150). Between the mounts (60).

一方、特許文献1に記載の多機能型電子部品のように、回転つまみ(100)の内側に表示部材(10)を設置する構造の多機能型電子部品においては、静止している表示部材(10)と、回転する回転つまみ(100)の間の隙間を防滴構造にする必要があるが、前記特許文献2に示す防滴構造と同様に、表示部材(10)と回転つまみ(100)の間に弾性部材からなる防滴部材を挟持する構成にすると、回転つまみ(100)の回転に必要以上の摩擦抵抗が働き、そのスムーズな回転が阻害される恐れがあった。また必ず防滴部材が必要なので、部品点数が増加し、コスト削減が図れなかった。   On the other hand, in the multifunctional electronic component having a structure in which the display member (10) is installed inside the rotary knob (100) as in the multifunctional electronic component described in Patent Document 1, the stationary display member ( 10) and the rotating rotary knob (100) need to have a drip-proof structure. Similar to the drip-proof structure shown in Patent Document 2, the display member (10) and the rotary knob (100) If a drip-proof member made of an elastic member is sandwiched between the two, a frictional resistance more than necessary acts on the rotation of the rotary knob (100), and the smooth rotation may be hindered. In addition, since a drip-proof member is always required, the number of parts increases and cost reduction cannot be achieved.

一方、上記特許文献1に示す従来の多機能型の電子部品は、表示部材(10)の中央に設けた軸部(31)を、回転つまみ(100)の中央に設けた開口(103)に挿入して回転つまみ(100)を軸支しているので、軸部(31)の外径寸法(即ち開口(103)の内径寸法)に対して回転つまみ(100)の外周寸法が相対的に大きくなると、前記軸部(31)における回転つまみ(100)の傾き方向への僅かながたつき(傾き)に対して回転つまみ(100)の外周近傍部分における傾き方向(上下方向)へのがたつきが大きくなってしまう恐れがあった。また軸部(31)の外径寸法が小さいと、回転つまみ(100)の外周近傍部分を上下方向にがたつかせた際に開口(103)と軸部(31)間に強い力が働き、回転つまみ(100)の軸支に支障(回転トルクが大きくなる等)が生じる恐れもあった。   On the other hand, in the conventional multifunctional electronic component shown in Patent Document 1, the shaft portion (31) provided in the center of the display member (10) is provided in the opening (103) provided in the center of the rotary knob (100). Since the rotary knob (100) is inserted and pivotally supported, the outer peripheral dimension of the rotary knob (100) is relative to the outer diameter dimension of the shaft portion (31) (that is, the inner diameter dimension of the opening (103)). When it becomes larger, a slight backlash (inclination) in the tilt direction of the rotary knob (100) at the shaft portion (31) may cause an inclination direction (vertical direction) in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the rotary knob (100). There was a risk that the tackiness would increase. If the outer diameter of the shaft portion (31) is small, a strong force acts between the opening (103) and the shaft portion (31) when the vicinity of the outer periphery of the rotary knob (100) is rattled up and down. There is also a risk that the shaft support of the rotary knob (100) may be hindered (for example, the rotational torque increases).

本発明は上述の点に鑑みてなされたものでありその目的は、回転する回転体(回転つまみ)の中央に静止している表示部材を配置する構造の回転式電子部品において、前記回転体と表示部材の間の隙間を防滴するのに好適な回転式電子部品を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a rotary electronic component having a structure in which a stationary display member is disposed at the center of a rotating rotating body (rotating knob). An object of the present invention is to provide a rotary electronic component suitable for drip-proofing a gap between display members.

本発明は、取付台と、前記取付台上に固定される軸部と、軸部から半径方向外方に張り出す表示部とを有する表示部材と、前記取付台と前記表示部材の表示部の間に回動自在に設置される回転体と、前記回転体の回転によって出力信号を変化する検出手段と、を具備する回転式電子部品において、前記回転体には、前記表示部材の軸部を挿通する開口部を設け、この開口部の内径寸法を前記軸部の外径寸法よりも大きく形成することで、この開口部の内部に前記軸部を挿入し、前記回転体と前記表示部の対向する両面の何れか一方の面に凹部を設け、他方の面に前記凹部に挿入される凸部を設け、これによって回転体と表示部の間の隙間にその外周側から液体が浸入することを防止する防滴機構を構成すると共に、この防滴機構を構成する凹部と凸部を前記軸部の径よりも大きい径の位置で前記回転体を回転自在に軸支する回転係合部として兼用させている
以上のように、凹凸の組合せで回転体と表示部の間の隙間に防滴機構を構成したので、この隙間にその外側から浸入した液体が内部側(中心方向)に向かって浸入していくのを防止することができる。同時に回転体の回転に対する摩擦抵抗は生じず(又は小さく)、回転体のスムーズな回転が行える。
The present invention relates to a display member having a mounting base, a shaft portion fixed on the mounting base, a display portion projecting radially outward from the shaft portion, and the display portion of the mounting base and the display member. In a rotary electronic component comprising a rotating body that is rotatably disposed between and a detecting means that changes an output signal by the rotation of the rotating body, the rotating body includes a shaft portion of the display member. By providing an opening to be inserted, and forming the inner diameter of the opening larger than the outer diameter of the shaft, the shaft is inserted into the opening, and the rotating body and the display unit A concave portion is provided on one of the opposing surfaces, and a convex portion to be inserted into the concave portion is provided on the other surface, so that liquid enters the gap between the rotating body and the display portion from the outer peripheral side. together constituting the drip-proof mechanism for preventing, concave constituting the drip-proof mechanism And it is also used a convex portion as a rotation engaging portion for rotatably supporting the rotating body at the position of larger diameter than the diameter of the shaft portion and.
As described above, since the drip-proof mechanism is configured in the gap between the rotating body and the display unit by the combination of the unevenness, the liquid that has entered from the outside enters the gap toward the inner side (center direction). Can be prevented. At the same time, frictional resistance against the rotation of the rotating body does not occur (or is small), and the rotating body can rotate smoothly.

たこのように防滴機構として用いる凹部と凸部を回転係合部としても利用(兼用)するので、構造の簡素化が図れるばかりか、回転体の軸支の径を、表示部材の中央に設ける軸部の径よりも容易に大きく構成することができる。これによって回転体の傾き方向(上下方向)へのがたつきをより小さくすることができる。また回転体の外周近傍部分を上下方向にがたつかせようとする力が働いた場合でも回転係合部に印加される力は小さくて済み、回転体のスムーズな回転が維持できる。 Since also used (shared) with recesses and projections as the rotary engaging portion to be used or a drip-proof mechanism as octopus, not only can be simplified in structure, the diameter of the shaft supporting the rotating body, the central display members It can be easily configured larger than the diameter of the shaft portion provided in. As a result, rattling in the tilt direction (vertical direction) of the rotating body can be further reduced. Further, even when a force that tries to rattle the vicinity of the outer periphery of the rotating body in the vertical direction is applied, the force applied to the rotation engaging portion is small, and smooth rotation of the rotating body can be maintained.

また本発明は、前記防滴機構を、前記回転体に設けた連続する凹部及び凸部を、前記表示部材の表示部に設けた連続する凸部及び凹部にそれぞれ挿入することで構成している。このように連続する凹部及び凸部を、連続する凸部及び凹部に挿入するので、より確実に防滴作用を発揮させることができる。   Moreover, this invention comprises the said drip-proof mechanism by inserting the continuous recessed part and convex part which were provided in the said rotary body in the continuous convex part and recessed part which were provided in the display part of the said display member, respectively. . Thus, since the continuous recessed part and convex part are inserted in a continuous convex part and recessed part, a drip-proof effect | action can be exhibited more reliably.

また本発明は、前記表示部材の表示部に設けた凹部とこの凹部内に挿入される前記回転体に設けた凸部とによって、前記凹部内に挿入した弾性防水部材を挟持することで防滴機能を高めている。このように弾性防水部材を挟持したので、凹部と凸部による防滴作用をさらに高めることができる。なお弾性防水部材は、凹部と凸部による防滴作用を高める(補助する)ために設置されており、従って強い力で挟持する必要はなく、このため回転体の回転に必要以上の摩擦抵抗が働くことはなく、そのスムーズな回転が維持される。   Further, the present invention provides a drip-proof structure by sandwiching the elastic waterproof member inserted into the concave portion between the concave portion provided in the display portion of the display member and the convex portion provided in the rotating body inserted into the concave portion. The function is enhanced. Since the elastic waterproof member is sandwiched in this way, the drip-proofing action by the concave and convex portions can be further enhanced. The elastic waterproofing member is installed in order to enhance (supplement) the drip-proofing action by the concave and convex portions, and therefore it is not necessary to sandwich the elastic waterproofing member with a strong force. It does not work and its smooth rotation is maintained.

また本発明は、前記回転式電子部品が、前記表示部材の中央に設けた押圧用キートップ収納部内に上下動自在に収納した押圧用キートップによって押圧スイッチを押圧操作する押圧式電子部品部を有する構造であり、前記押圧用キートップが、前記表示部材の押圧用キートップ収納部内に収納される押圧操作部と、前記押圧操作部の下面から突出して前記表示部材を貫通しその下に設置した前記押圧スイッチを押圧するスイッチ押圧部とを具備し、さらに前記押圧用キートップの押圧操作部と前記表示部材の押圧用キートップ収納部の間に第2弾性防水部材を挟持している。これによって押圧用キートップの押圧操作部と押圧用キートップ収納部との間の隙間から浸入した液体が内部側に向かって浸入していくのを防止することができる。   According to the present invention, there is provided a press-type electronic component portion in which the rotary electronic component is operated to press a press switch by a press key top that is housed in a press key top storage portion provided in the center of the display member so as to be movable up and down. The pressing key top includes a pressing operation portion that is housed in the pressing key top housing portion of the display member, and protrudes from a lower surface of the pressing operation portion so as to pass through the display member and to be installed therebelow. A switch pressing portion for pressing the pressing switch, and a second elastic waterproof member is sandwiched between the pressing operation portion of the pressing key top and the pressing key top storage portion of the display member. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the liquid that has entered from the gap between the pressing operation portion of the pressing key top and the pressing key top storage portion from entering the inside.

本発明によれば、回転する回転体(回転つまみ)の中央に静止している表示部材を配置する構造の回転式電子部品において、回転体のスムーズな回転を維持したまま、回転体と表示部材の間の隙間からの液体の浸入を効果的に防止することができる。   According to the present invention, in a rotary electronic component having a structure in which a stationary display member is arranged in the center of a rotating rotating body (rotating knob), the rotating body and the display member are maintained while maintaining smooth rotation of the rotating body. It is possible to effectively prevent the liquid from entering from the gap between the two.

次に上記押釦つまみ10を装着した表示部材30下面の凹部33c内に第1弾性防水部材300を収納する。次にこの表示部材30を、上記摺動子110を取り付けた回転つまみ80の表示部収納部81内に挿入し、その際表示部材30の軸部51の先端側を回転つまみ80の開口部83に挿通する。このとき同時に、表示部材30の凸部33aは回転つまみ80の凹部87aに略ぴったり挿入され、また回転つまみ80の凸部87bは表示部材30の凹部33c内に挿入され前記凹部33c内に予め挿入しておいた第1弾性防水部材300を挟持する。   Next, the first elastic waterproofing member 300 is housed in the recess 33c on the lower surface of the display member 30 to which the push button knob 10 is attached. Next, the display member 30 is inserted into the display portion storage portion 81 of the rotary knob 80 to which the slider 110 is attached, and at this time, the distal end side of the shaft portion 51 of the display member 30 is connected to the opening portion 83 of the rotary knob 80. Insert through. At the same time, the convex portion 33a of the display member 30 is inserted almost exactly into the concave portion 87a of the rotary knob 80, and the convex portion 87b of the rotary knob 80 is inserted into the concave portion 33c of the display member 30 and inserted into the concave portion 33c in advance. The first elastic waterproofing member 300 that has been previously held is sandwiched.

次に上記各部品を搭載した回転つまみ80を、取付台本体151上に取り付けた第1回路基板部131上に載置し、その際表示部材30の軸部51を取付台本体151の軸部当接面159上に載置する。このとき軸部51下面の各取付部53を取付台150の各被取付部163に挿入し、その先端を取付台本体151の下面において熱かしめする。そしてこの取付台150を、支持部材200上に載置した第2回路基板部135上に載置し、その際取付台150の各固定部173を第2回路基板部135の被取付部148と支持部材200の被取付部201に挿入し、その先端を支持部材200の下面で熱かしめする。これによって回転式電子部品1−1が完成する。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 rotary knob 80 on which the above-described components are mounted is placed on the first circuit board portion 131 attached on the mounting base body 151, and the shaft portion 51 of the display member 30 is then placed on the shaft portion of the mounting base body 151. Place on the contact surface 159. At this time, each mounting portion 53 on the lower surface of the shaft portion 51 is inserted into each mounted portion 163 of the mounting base 150, and the tip thereof is heat staked on the lower surface of the mounting base body 151. The mounting base 150 is placed on the second circuit board portion 135 placed on the support member 200, and each fixing portion 173 of the mounting base 150 is attached to the attached portion 148 of the second circuit board portion 135. The support member 200 is inserted into the attached portion 201, and the tip thereof is heat squeezed by the lower surface of the support member 200. Thereby, the rotary electronic component 1-1 is completed. The above assembling procedure is an example, and it goes without saying that the assembly may be performed using other various assembling procedures.

以上のように構成された回転式電子部品1−1において、回転つまみ80を回転すると、回転つまみ80に取り付けた摺動子110が回転つまみ80と一体に回転し、その接点部117が摺接パターン137上を摺動することで摺接パターン137からの検出出力が変化する。同時にクリック板120に対して回転つまみ80が回転することでそのクリック弾接部125が回転つまみ80のクリック係合部95の凹凸を乗り越えてゆき、クリック感覚が生じる。   In the rotary electronic component 1-1 configured as described above, when the rotary knob 80 is rotated, the slider 110 attached to the rotary knob 80 rotates integrally with the rotary knob 80, and the contact portion 117 is in sliding contact. By sliding on the pattern 137, the detection output from the sliding contact pattern 137 changes. At the same time, when the rotary knob 80 rotates with respect to the click plate 120, the click elastic contact portion 125 gets over the unevenness of the click engaging portion 95 of the rotary knob 80, and a click feeling is generated.

次に押圧用キートップ10の押圧操作面15を押圧すれば、押圧用キートップ10が下降してそのスイッチ押圧部13が中央の押圧スイッチ145の反転板を押圧して反転し、押圧スイッチ145がオンする。押圧用キートップ10への押圧を解除すれば反転板の弾性復帰力によって押圧用キートップ10は元の位置に戻り、押圧スイッチ145はオフする。このように表示部材30の中央に設けた押圧用キートップ収納部35内に上下動自在に収納した押圧用キートップ10によって押圧スイッチ145を押圧操作する構造を押圧式電子部品部ということとする。   Next, when the pressing operation surface 15 of the pressing key top 10 is pressed, the pressing key top 10 is lowered, and the switch pressing portion 13 presses the reverse plate of the central pressing switch 145 to invert the pressing switch 145. Turns on. When the pressing to the pressing key top 10 is released, the pressing key top 10 returns to the original position by the elastic return force of the reversing plate, and the pressing switch 145 is turned off. The structure in which the pressing switch 145 is pressed by the pressing key top 10 that is housed in the pressing key top housing part 35 provided in the center of the display member 30 in this manner is referred to as a pressing electronic component part. .

次に回転つまみ80のつまみ操作部89の前記各指標37の何れかに対応する部分(その指標37の半径方向外側の上面部分)を下方向に向けて押圧すれば、回転つまみ80や表示部材30や押圧用キートップ10など、取付台本体151上に設置されている各構成部品全体が取付台本体151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167が対向する押圧スイッチ147の反転板を押圧して反転し、押圧スイッチ147がオンする。取付台本体151は、連結部171及び取付台保持部153が撓むことで傾く。回転つまみ80への押圧を解除すれば、撓んだ連結部171及び取付台保持部153の元の形状への弾性復帰力と、反転している反転板の弾性復帰力とによって、回転つまみ80及び取付台本体151などの揺動していた全構成部品が一体に元の位置に自動復帰し、押圧スイッチ147はオフする。   Next, if a portion corresponding to any of the indicators 37 of the knob operation portion 89 of the rotary knob 80 (the upper surface portion on the radially outer side of the indicator 37) is pressed downward, the rotary knob 80 or the display member 30 and the key top 10 for pressing, etc., all the components installed on the mounting base body 151 are tilted and swung in the direction of being pressed integrally with the mounting base body 151, and the pressing portion 167 on the lowered side is provided. The reversing plate of the opposing pressure switch 147 is pressed and reversed, and the pressure switch 147 is turned on. The mounting base body 151 is tilted by the bending of the connecting part 171 and the mounting base holding part 153. When the pressure on the rotary knob 80 is released, the rotary knob 80 is restored by the elastic return force to the original shape of the bent connecting portion 171 and the mounting base holding portion 153 and the elastic return force of the inverted reversing plate. In addition, all the swinging components such as the mount main body 151 are automatically returned to the original positions, and the pressing switch 147 is turned off.

そして上記回転式電子部品1−1において、表示部材30の外周と回転つまみ80の表示部収納部81の間の隙間から液体が侵入しても、表示部材30の凸部33a及び凹部33cと、回転つまみ80の凹部87a及び凸部87bとが噛み合うことで防滴機構が構成されているので、前記隙間から浸入した液体が内部側(中心方向)に向かって浸入していくことは効果的に防止される。同時に回転つまみ80の回転に対する摩擦抵抗は生じず(又は小さく)、回転つまみ80のスムーズな回転が行える。さらにこの回転式電子部品1−1の場合、回転つまみ80の凸部87bと表示部材30の凹部33cの間において第1弾性防水部材300が挟持されているので、凹部33cと凸部87bによる防滴機能を高めることができる。なお第1弾性防水部材300はスポンジ製であって弱い力で容易に圧縮でき、従って弱い力で挟持するので、回転つまみ80の回転時に生じる第1弾性防水部材300との摩擦による回転抵抗は小さく、そのスムーズな回転が維持される。なお、高い防滴機能を求めないのであれば、第1弾性防水部材300はその設置を省略しても良い。   In the rotary electronic component 1-1, even if liquid enters from the gap between the outer periphery of the display member 30 and the display unit storage portion 81 of the rotary knob 80, the convex portion 33a and the concave portion 33c of the display member 30; Since the drip-proof mechanism is configured by engaging the concave portion 87a and the convex portion 87b of the rotary knob 80, it is effective that the liquid that has entered from the gap enters the inner side (center direction). Is prevented. At the same time, frictional resistance against rotation of the rotary knob 80 does not occur (or is small), and the rotary knob 80 can be smoothly rotated. Further, in the case of the rotary electronic component 1-1, since the first elastic waterproofing member 300 is sandwiched between the convex portion 87b of the rotary knob 80 and the concave portion 33c of the display member 30, the prevention by the concave portion 33c and the convex portion 87b. Drop function can be enhanced. The first elastic waterproofing member 300 is made of sponge and can be easily compressed with a weak force. Therefore, the first elastic waterproofing member 300 is sandwiched with a weak force, so that the rotational resistance due to friction with the first elastic waterproofing member 300 generated when the rotary knob 80 rotates is small. That smooth rotation is maintained. If the high drip-proof function is not required, the first elastic waterproof member 300 may be omitted.

一方押圧用キートップ10の押圧操作部11の外周と表示部材30の押圧用キートップ収納部35の間の隙間から液体が浸入しても、第2弾性防水部材350がその浸入を効果的に防止する。第2弾性防水部材350もスポンジ製であって弱い力で容易に圧縮できるので、押圧用キートップ10を押し下げる際の抵抗にはあまりならず、押圧用キートップ10のスムーズな動作が維持できる。   On the other hand, even if liquid enters from the gap between the outer periphery of the pressing operation portion 11 of the pressing key top 10 and the pressing key top storage portion 35 of the display member 30, the second elastic waterproofing member 350 effectively prevents the penetration. To prevent. Since the second elastic waterproofing member 350 is also made of sponge and can be easily compressed with a weak force, the resistance when pressing down the pressing key top 10 is not so much, and the smooth operation of the pressing key top 10 can be maintained.

なお上記回転式電子部品1−1では、表示部材30の凸部33a及び凹部33cと、回転つまみ80の凹部87a及び凸部87bとを噛み合わせることで防滴機構を構成したが、表示部材30と回転つまみ80の何れか一方に凹部を設け、他方に凸部を設け、これらを噛み合わせることで防滴機構を構成しても良い。もちろん凹部と凸部の噛み合わせの数が多いほど防滴機能は向上する。   In the rotary electronic component 1-1, the drip-proof mechanism is configured by engaging the convex portions 33a and the concave portions 33c of the display member 30 with the concave portions 87a and the convex portions 87b of the rotary knob 80. A drip-proof mechanism may be configured by providing a concave portion on one of the rotary knob 80 and a convex portion on the other and engaging them. Of course, the greater the number of meshes between the concave and convex portions, the better the drip-proof function.

ところでこの回転式電子部品1−1においては、回転つまみ80の回転時の軸支を、表示部材30の表示部31の下面に設けた回転係合部90において行うので、表示部材30の中央に設ける軸部51の径よりもその径を容易に大きく構成することができる。これによって回転つまみ80の傾き方向(上下方向、図1の矢印B方向)へのがたつきをより小さくすることができる。また回転つまみ80の外周近傍部分を上下方向(矢印B方向)にがたつかせようとする力が働いた場合でも回転係合部90に印加される力は小さくて済み、回転つまみ80のスムーズな回転が維持できる。つまりこの回転式電子部品1−1においては、防滴機構として用いる凹部87aと凸部33aを回転係合部90としても利用(兼用)している。なおこの例では凹部87aの外側の内周面と凸部33aの外周面とを摺動面として回転係合部90を構成したが、凸部87bの外周面と凸部33aの内周面とを摺動面として回転係合部90を構成したり、凸部87bの内周面と凸部33bの外周面とを摺動面として回転係合部90を構成しても良い。   By the way, in this rotary electronic component 1-1, since the axial support at the time of rotation of the rotary knob 80 is performed in the rotation engaging part 90 provided in the lower surface of the display part 31 of the display member 30, it is in the center of the display member 30. The diameter can be easily made larger than the diameter of the shaft 51 to be provided. As a result, the backlash of the rotary knob 80 in the tilt direction (vertical direction, arrow B direction in FIG. 1) can be further reduced. Further, even when a force is exerted to rattle the vicinity of the outer periphery of the rotary knob 80 in the vertical direction (arrow B direction), the force applied to the rotary engagement portion 90 can be small, and the rotary knob 80 can be made smooth. Rotation can be maintained. That is, in the rotary electronic component 1-1, the concave portion 87a and the convex portion 33a used as the drip-proof mechanism are also used (also used) as the rotary engagement portion 90. In this example, the rotation engaging portion 90 is configured with the inner peripheral surface outside the concave portion 87a and the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 33a as sliding surfaces. However, the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 87b and the inner peripheral surface of the convex portion 33a The rotational engagement portion 90 may be configured with the sliding surface as the sliding surface, or the rotational engagement portion 90 may be configured with the inner peripheral surface of the convex portion 87b and the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 33b as the sliding surface.

図8は本発明の第2実施形態に係る回転式電子部品1−2の概略側断面図(図1と同一部分の断面図)である。同図に示す回転式電子部品1−2において、前記図1〜図7に示す回転式電子部品1−1と同一又は相当部分には同一符号を付す。なお以下で説明する事項以外の事項については、前記図1〜図7に示す実施形態と同じである。   FIG. 8 is a schematic sectional side view (sectional view of the same part as FIG. 1) of the rotary electronic component 1-2 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the rotary electronic component 1-2 shown in the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those of the rotary electronic component 1-1 shown in FIGS. Note that matters other than those described below are the same as those in the embodiment shown in FIGS.

この回転式電子部品1−2において前記回転式電子部品1−1と相違する点は、第1弾性防水部材300を省略し、その代りに凸部33bの外周側の下端角部に設けた矩形状に凹むリング状の凹部331にOリングからなる弾性防水部材400を取り付け、この弾性防水部材400を凹部331と凸部87bとによって挟持している点である。このように構成した場合、回転つまみ80の回転時の回転トルクは大きくなるが、凹部と凸部の噛み合いだけの場合に比べて防滴効果は増大する。   The difference between the rotary electronic component 1-2 and the rotary electronic component 1-1 is that the first elastic waterproofing member 300 is omitted and, instead, a rectangular provided at the lower end corner on the outer peripheral side of the convex portion 33b. An elastic waterproof member 400 made of an O-ring is attached to a ring-shaped concave portion 331 that is recessed in the shape, and the elastic waterproof member 400 is sandwiched between the concave portion 331 and the convex portion 87b. When configured in this manner, the rotational torque during rotation of the rotary knob 80 is increased, but the drip-proof effect is increased as compared with the case where only the concave portion and the convex portion are engaged.

図9は本発明の第3実施形態に係る回転式電子部品1−3の概略側断面図(図1と同一部分の断面図)である。同図に示す回転式電子部品1−3において、前記図1〜図7に示す回転式電子部品1−1と同一又は相当部分には同一符号を付す。なお以下で説明する事項以外の事項については、前記図1〜図7に示す実施形態と同じである。   FIG. 9 is a schematic sectional side view (sectional view of the same part as FIG. 1) of the rotary electronic component 1-3 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In the rotary electronic component 1-3 shown in the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those of the rotary electronic component 1-1 shown in FIGS. Note that matters other than those described below are the same as those in the embodiment shown in FIGS.

この回転式電子部品1−3において前記回転式電子部品1−1と相違する点は、第1弾性防水部材300を省略し、その代りに回転つまみ80の凹部87aの中にグリスGを溜め、これに表示部材30の凸部33aの先端を浸漬させている点である。このように構成した場合も、凹部と凸部の噛み合いだけの場合に比べて防滴効果を増大させることができる。   The difference between the rotary electronic component 1-3 and the rotary electronic component 1-1 is that the first elastic waterproofing member 300 is omitted, and instead the grease G is accumulated in the recess 87a of the rotary knob 80, This is the point in which the tip of the convex portion 33a of the display member 30 is immersed. Even when configured in this manner, the drip-proof effect can be increased as compared with the case where only the concave portion and the convex portion are engaged.

図10は本発明の第4実施形態に係る回転式電子部品1−4の概略側断面図(図1と同一部分の断面図)である。同図に示す回転式電子部品1−4において、前記図1〜図7に示す回転式電子部品1−1と同一又は相当部分には同一符号を付す。なお以下で説明する事項以外の事項については、前記図1〜図7に示す実施形態と同じである。   FIG. 10 is a schematic sectional side view (sectional view of the same part as FIG. 1) of the rotary electronic component 1-4 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the rotary electronic component 1-4 shown in the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those of the rotary electronic component 1-1 shown in FIGS. Note that matters other than those described below are the same as those in the embodiment shown in FIGS.

この回転式電子部品1−4において前記回転式電子部品1−1と相違する点は、第1弾性防水部材300と第2弾性防水部材350の両者を省略し、その代りに回転つまみ80の凸部87bの長さを長くして表示部材30の凹部33cの底面近傍に至らせ、これによって凹凸による防滴効果を増大させている点と、表示部材30の押圧用キートップ収納部35の底面中央から筒状の凸部36aを突出し、一方押圧用キートップ10の押圧操作部11の下面の外周近傍部分から筒状であって前記凸部36aよりも径の大きい筒状の凸部12を突出し、凸部36aの外側に凸部12を挿入することで防滴機構を形成している点とである。このように構成した場合、弾性防水部材を全く使用しないので、部品点数が削減できる。なおこの例では凸部87bの内周面と凸部33bの外周面とを摺動面として回転係合部90を構成している。   The difference between the rotary electronic component 1-4 and the rotary electronic component 1-1 is that both the first elastic waterproof member 300 and the second elastic waterproof member 350 are omitted, and the convexity of the rotary knob 80 is used instead. The length of the portion 87b is increased to reach the vicinity of the bottom surface of the recess 33c of the display member 30, thereby increasing the drip-proof effect due to the unevenness, and the bottom surface of the pressing key top storage portion 35 of the display member 30. A cylindrical convex portion 36a protrudes from the center, while a cylindrical convex portion 12 that is cylindrical from the vicinity of the outer periphery of the lower surface of the pressing operation portion 11 of the pressing key top 10 and has a larger diameter than the convex portion 36a. It protrudes and the drip-proof mechanism is formed by inserting the convex part 12 outside the convex part 36a. When configured in this manner, the elastic waterproof member is not used at all, so the number of parts can be reduced. In this example, the rotation engaging portion 90 is configured with the inner peripheral surface of the convex portion 87b and the outer peripheral surface of the convex portion 33b as sliding surfaces.

以上説明したように、本発明に係る回転式電子部品は、取付台150と、取付台150上に固定される軸部51及びこの軸部51から半径方向外方に張り出す表示部31とを有する表示部材30と、取付台150と表示部材30の表示部31の間に回動自在に設置される回転つまみ80と、回転つまみ80の回転によって出力信号を変化する摺動子110及び摺接パターン137からなる検出手段とを具備する構造であって、さらに回転つまみ80と表示部31の対向する両面の何れか一方の面に凹部を設け、他方の面に前記凹部に挿入される凸部を設け、これによって回転つまみ80と表示部31の間の隙間に外側から液体が浸入するのを防止する防滴機構を設けている。   As described above, the rotary electronic component according to the present invention includes the mounting base 150, the shaft portion 51 fixed on the mounting base 150, and the display portion 31 projecting radially outward from the shaft portion 51. The display member 30, the rotary knob 80 that is rotatably installed between the mount 150 and the display unit 31 of the display member 30, the slider 110 that changes the output signal by the rotation of the rotary knob 80, and the sliding contact And a convex portion that is provided with a concave portion on one of the opposing surfaces of the rotary knob 80 and the display unit 31 and is inserted into the concave portion on the other surface. Thus, a drip-proof mechanism is provided to prevent liquid from entering the gap between the rotary knob 80 and the display unit 31 from the outside.

このように凹凸の組合せで回転つまみ80と表示部31の間の隙間に防滴機構を構成したので、この隙間にその外側から浸入した液体が内部側(中心方向)に向かって浸入していくのを防止することができる。同時に回転つまみ80の回転に対する摩擦抵抗は生じず(又は小さく)、回転つまみ80のスムーズな回転が行えるようになる。   As described above, since the drip-proof mechanism is configured in the gap between the rotary knob 80 and the display unit 31 by the combination of projections and depressions, the liquid that has entered from the outside enters the gap toward the inner side (center direction). Can be prevented. At the same time, frictional resistance against rotation of the rotary knob 80 does not occur (or is small), and the rotary knob 80 can be smoothly rotated.

同時に本発明においては、前記防滴機構を構成する凹部と凸部を、回転つまみ80を回転自在に軸支する回転係合部90として兼用している。このように防滴機構として用いる凹部と凸部を回転係合部90として兼用するので、構造の簡素化が図れるばかりか、回転つまみ80の軸支の径を、表示部材30の中央に設ける軸部51の径よりも容易に大きく構成することができる。これによって回転つまみ80の傾き方向(上下方向)へのがたつきをより小さくすることができる。また回転つまみ80の外周近傍部分を上下方向にがたつかせようとする力が働いた場合でも回転係合部90に印加される力は小さくて済み、回転つまみ80のスムーズな回転が維持できる。   At the same time, in the present invention, the concave portion and the convex portion constituting the drip-proof mechanism are also used as the rotation engagement portion 90 that rotatably supports the rotary knob 80. As described above, since the concave and convex portions used as the drip-proof mechanism are also used as the rotation engaging portion 90, not only the structure can be simplified, but also the shaft support diameter of the rotary knob 80 is provided at the center of the display member 30. The diameter of the portion 51 can be easily increased. As a result, rattling of the rotary knob 80 in the tilt direction (vertical direction) can be further reduced. In addition, even when a force that causes the vicinity of the outer periphery of the rotary knob 80 to bend in the vertical direction is applied, the force applied to the rotary engaging portion 90 can be small, and the smooth rotation of the rotary knob 80 can be maintained.

また本発明に係る防滴機構は、回転つまみ80に設けた連続する凹部及び凸部を、表示部材30の表示部31に設けた連続する凸部及び凹部にそれぞれ挿入することで構成している。このように連続する凹部及び凸部を、連続する凸部及び凹部に挿入するので、より確実に防滴作用を発揮させることができる。   In addition, the drip-proof mechanism according to the present invention is configured by inserting continuous concave portions and convex portions provided on the rotary knob 80 into continuous convex portions and concave portions provided on the display portion 31 of the display member 30, respectively. . Thus, since the continuous recessed part and convex part are inserted in a continuous convex part and recessed part, a drip-proof effect | action can be exhibited more reliably.

また本発明に係る回転式電子部品は、表示部材30の表示部31に設けた凹部とこの凹部内に挿入される回転つまみ80に設けた凸部とによって、前記凹部内に挿入した第1弾性防水部材300を挟持することで防滴機能を高めるように構成している。このように第1弾性防水部材300を挟持すれば、凹部と凸部による防滴作用をさらに高めることができる。なお第1弾性防水部材300は、凹部と凸部による防滴作用を高める(補助する)ために設置されており、従って強い力で挟持する必要はなく、このため回転つまみ80の回転に必要以上の摩擦抵抗が働くことはなく、そのスムーズな回転が維持される。特にこの第1弾性防水部材300として防水性を有するスポンジによって構成した場合は柔軟性があり、摩擦抵抗が少なく、好適である。   Further, the rotary electronic component according to the present invention includes a first elastic member inserted into the concave portion by the concave portion provided in the display portion 31 of the display member 30 and the convex portion provided in the rotary knob 80 inserted into the concave portion. The waterproof member 300 is sandwiched so that the drip-proof function is enhanced. Thus, if the 1st elastic waterproofing member 300 is clamped, the drip-proof effect | action by a recessed part and a convex part can further be improved. The first elastic waterproofing member 300 is installed in order to enhance (supplement) the drip-proofing action by the concave and convex portions, and therefore does not need to be clamped with a strong force. This friction resistance does not work, and its smooth rotation is maintained. In particular, when the first elastic waterproofing member 300 is constituted by a waterproof sponge, the first elastic waterproofing member 300 is suitable because of its flexibility and low frictional resistance.

また本発明に係る回転式電子部品は、表示部材30の中央に設けた押圧用キートップ収納部35内に上下動自在に収納した押圧用キートップ10によって押圧スイッチ145を押圧操作する押圧式電子部品部を有する構造であり、押圧用キートップ10は、前記表示部材30の押圧用キートップ収納部35内に収納される押圧操作部11と、押圧操作部11の下面から突出して表示部材30を貫通しその下に設置した押圧スイッチ145を押圧するスイッチ押圧部13とを具備し、さらに押圧用キートップ10の押圧操作部11と表示部材30の押圧用キートップ収納部35の間に第2弾性防水部材350を挟持して構成されている。これによって表示部材30の押圧用キートップ収納部35と押圧用キートップ10の間の隙間から浸入した液体が回転式電子部品の内部側に向かって浸入していくのを防止することができる。   Further, the rotary electronic component according to the present invention is a press-type electronic device in which the press switch 145 is pressed by the press key top 10 that is housed in the press key top storage portion 35 provided in the center of the display member 30 so as to be movable up and down. The pressing key top 10 has a structure having a part portion, and the pressing key top 10 projects from the pressing operation portion 11 housed in the pressing key top housing portion 35 of the display member 30 and the lower surface of the pressing operation portion 11. And a switch pressing portion 13 that presses the pressing switch 145 installed thereunder, and further between the pressing operation portion 11 of the pressing key top 10 and the pressing key top storage portion 35 of the display member 30. Two elastic waterproofing members 350 are sandwiched. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the liquid that has entered from the gap between the pressing key top storage portion 35 and the pressing key top 10 of the display member 30 from entering the inside of the rotary electronic component.

以上本発明の実施形態を説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、特許請求の範囲、及び明細書と図面に記載された技術的思想の範囲内において種々の変形が可能である。なお直接明細書及び図面に記載がない何れの形状や構造や材質であっても、本願発明の作用・効果を奏する以上、本願発明の技術的思想の範囲内である。例えば、表示部材30の表示部31に設ける指標37の形状や位置や数、押圧スイッチ147の設置位置や数などは種々の変更が可能である。また上記実施形態では摺動子110と摺接パターン137とによって検出手段を構成したが、検出手段は回転つまみ80の回転によってその検出出力が変化する構成であれば他の構成であっても良い。検出手段による検出出力は電気的出力に限られず、磁気的出力や光学的出力などであっても良い。   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, the shape, position, and number of the indicators 37 provided on the display unit 31 of the display member 30 and the installation position and number of the push switch 147 can be variously changed. In the above-described embodiment, the detection unit is configured by the slider 110 and the sliding contact pattern 137. However, the detection unit may have another configuration as long as the detection output is changed by the rotation of the rotary knob 80. . The detection output by the detection means is not limited to electrical output, but may be magnetic output or optical output.

また場合によっては、中央の押圧用キートップ10と押圧用キートップ10によって押圧操作される中央スイッチ145、すなわち押圧式電子部品部の部分を省略しても良い。同様に場合によっては、支持部材200と第2回路基板部135と取付台保持部153及び連結部171、すなわち揺動式電子部品の部分を省略しても良い。また上記実施形態では回転つまみ80のみによって回転体を構成したが、例えば摺動子110を取り付ける回転体と、つまみ操作部89を有するつまみ部分とを別部品で構成しても良いなど、その構造には種々の変更が可能である。また取付台保持部153は可撓性のない剛体で構成しても良い。その場合でも連結部171に可撓性があれば取付台150は揺動可能となる。さらに取付台150の連結部171を省略し、その代わりに例えば別途可撓性を有するフイルム状部材(合成樹脂フイルム等)を用意し、このフイルム状部材によって取付台本体151と取付台保持部153間を連結するなどしても良い。   In some cases, the central pressing key top 10 and the central switch 145 that is pressed by the pressing key top 10, that is, the portion of the pressing-type electronic component portion may be omitted. Similarly, in some cases, the support member 200, the second circuit board portion 135, the mounting base holding portion 153, and the connecting portion 171, that is, the swinging electronic component portion may be omitted. In the above embodiment, the rotating body is constituted only by the rotary knob 80. However, for example, the rotating body to which the slider 110 is attached and the knob portion having the knob operation portion 89 may be constituted by different parts. Various modifications are possible. Further, the mounting base holding part 153 may be formed of a rigid body having no flexibility. Even in this case, if the connecting portion 171 is flexible, the mounting base 150 can swing. Further, the connecting portion 171 of the mounting base 150 is omitted, and instead, for example, a flexible film-like member (synthetic resin film or the like) is prepared, and the mounting base body 151 and the mounting base holding portion 153 are prepared by this film-like member. You may connect between.
