[First embodiment]
First, an operating device used as a controller of a game machine or the like will be described. This operation device is also called a joystick or the like, and inputs information on the operation direction by tilting a lever. Specifically, when the lever is tilted, a movable electrode is provided that moves in conjunction with the tilting of the lever, and the movable electrode moves in contact with the resistive layer provided on the substrate. A voltage is applied to the movable electrode and the resistive layer in contact with the movable electrode, and the movement of the movable electrode in contact with the resistive layer changes the length of the region in which the current flows in the resistive layer. changes. Information on the operation direction can be input by detecting such a change in resistance value. In order to input operation information in two-dimensional directions, two movable electrodes and two resistive layers are provided corresponding to each of the X direction and the Y direction.

By the way, the movable electrode is made of a conductive metal material, and the resistance layer is made of a material having a predetermined resistivity, such as carbon (C). Therefore, in a game or the like, when the operation of tilting the lever is frequently performed for a long period of time, the resistance layer in contact with the movable electrode is scraped by the movement of the movable electrode, and the scraped shavings are transferred to the movable electrode. It deposits on both sides of the part that becomes the actual trajectory. If the trajectory of the movable electrode moving in the resistance layer is always the same, there is no problem. It may run on top of the shavings. In this case, the contact resistance becomes extremely high, or the electricity does not flow, making it impossible to accurately input information in the operating direction of the lever.

Therefore, there is a demand for a highly reliable operating device that allows the movable electrode to always follow the same trajectory even when used for a long period of time, and that enables accurate input of information in the operating direction of the lever. there is

(First sliding portion 120, second sliding portion 130)
Next, the relationship between the first actuator 20 and the first sliding portion 120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. FIG. 11 and 12 are perspective views of the first actuator 20 and the first sliding portion 120 viewed from different directions.

In the present embodiment, the protrusion 121 of the first sliding portion 120 is inserted into the opening 26 at the end of the drive transmission portion 25 of the first actuator 20 on the Z2 side. When the lever 40 is tilted toward the X1 direction side or the X2 direction side from the state shown in FIG. The first actuator 20 comes into contact with the contact portion 22 of one actuator 20, rotates about the shaft portions 23 and 24, and the drive transmission portion 25 moves.

A movable electrode 125 is provided on the Z2 side of the first sliding portion 120 , and the movable electrode 125 is in contact with the first resistance layer 71 . By moving the first sliding portion 120 in the X1-X2 direction, the position of the first resistance layer 71 in contact with the movable electrode 125 changes, and the resistance value changes.

Next, the relationship between the second actuator 30 and the second sliding portion 130 will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. FIG. 13 and 14 are perspective views of the second actuator 30 and the second sliding portion 130 viewed from different directions.

In the present embodiment, the protrusion 131 of the second sliding portion 130 is inserted into the opening 36 at the end of the drive transmission portion 35 of the second actuator 30 on the Z2 side. When the lever 40 is tilted toward the Y1 direction side or the Y2 direction side from the state shown in FIG. 2 contacts the contact portion 32 of the actuator 30, the second actuator 30 rotates about the shaft portions 33 and 34, and the drive transmission portion 35 moves. The projection 131 of the second sliding portion 130 is inserted into the opening 36 at the end of the drive transmission portion 35 on the Z2 side. Moved in the Y1-Y2 direction. A movable electrode 135 is provided on the Z2 side of the second sliding portion 130 , and the movable electrode 135 is in contact with the second resistance layer 72 . As the second sliding portion 130 moves in the Y1-Y2 direction, the position of the second resistance layer 72 in contact with the movable electrode 135 changes, and the resistance value changes.

In the above description, the case where the lever 40 is tilted in the X1-X2 direction and the Y1-Y2 direction has been described. It can also be tilted, and can be tilted in 360° directions.

In addition, when the lever 40 is tilted in the X1 direction side or the X2 direction side, the third actuator 60 is also tilted, and the bottom portion 62 of the third actuator 60 on the Z2 side touches the bottom portion 81 of the frame 80. The coil spring 50 is compressed by being pushed, and a restoring force is generated in the direction in which the coil spring 50 extends. Therefore, when the force tilting the lever 40 in the X1 direction or the X2 direction disappears, the restoring force generated in the coil spring 50 restores the tilted state of the lever 40 to its original state.

In addition, when the lever 40 is tilted in the Y1 direction side or the Y2 direction side, the third actuator 60 is also tilted, and the bottom portion 62 of the third actuator 60 on the Z2 side touches the bottom portion 81 of the frame 80. The coil spring 50 is compressed by being pushed, and a restoring force is generated in the direction in which the coil spring 50 extends. Therefore, when the force tilting the lever 40 in the Y1 direction or the Y2 direction is removed, the restoring force generated in the coil spring 50 restores the tilted state of the lever 40 to its original state.

Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the inside of the case 10 is provided with a groove portion 16 along the X1-X2 direction, which is the moving direction of the first sliding portion 120. A top surface 16a on the Z1 side of the groove 16 is inclined with respect to the XY plane, and a side surface 16b on the Y1 side, which is the outside, is formed parallel to the ZX plane. Further, a groove portion 17 is provided along the Y1-Y2 direction, which is the movement direction of the second sliding portion 130, and the top surface 17a of the groove portion 17 on the Z1 side is inclined with respect to the XY plane, The side surface 17b on the X2 side, which becomes , is formed parallel to the YZ plane. Since the substrate 70 is parallel to the XY plane, the top surface 16a of the groove portion 16 and the top surface 17a of the groove portion 17 are inclined with respect to the substrate 70 plane.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 16, part of the first sliding portion 120 is inside the groove portion 16 inside the case 10 . The movable electrode 125 attached to the Z2 side of the first sliding portion 120 is made of a metallic material such as phosphor bronze and has elasticity. Therefore, when the case 10 is attached, the movable electrode 125 is contracted in the Z1-Z2 direction, and a restoring force extending in the Z1-Z2 direction is generated. The restoring force generated in the movable electrode 125 pushes the entire first sliding portion 120 toward the Z1 side, but the upper surface 123 of the first sliding portion 120 is higher on the Y1 side than on the Y2 side. The top surface 16a of the groove 16 inside the case 10 is inclined so that the Y1 side is deeper than the Y2 side. Therefore, when a force pushing the first sliding portion 120 in the Z1 direction is applied, the inclination of the upper surface 123 of the first sliding portion 120 and the inclination of the top surface 16a of the groove portion 16 of the case 10 cause the first The sliding portion 120 is pushed toward the Y1 side, and the contact side surface 122 of the first sliding portion 120 contacts the side surface 16b of the groove portion 16 on the Y1 side. Accordingly, even if the first sliding portion 120 moves within the groove portion 16 by operating the lever 40, the contact side surface 122 of the first sliding portion 120 and the side surface 16b of the groove portion 16 are in contact with each other. The movable electrode 125 of the first slider 120 follows the same trajectory on the first resistive layer 71 as the state is maintained and the first slider 120 moves in the X1-X2 direction. Therefore, even when used for a long period of time, it is possible to input information in the correct operating direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, part of the second sliding portion 130 is inside the groove portion 17 inside the case 10 . The movable electrode 135 attached to the Z2 side of the second sliding portion 130 is made of a metallic material such as phosphor bronze and has elasticity. Therefore, when the case 10 is attached, the movable electrode 135 is contracted in the Z1-Z2 direction, and a restoring force extending in the Z1-Z2 direction is generated. The restoring force generated in the movable electrode 135 pushes the entire second sliding portion 130 toward the Z1 side, but the upper surface 133 of the second sliding portion 130 is higher on the X2 side than on the X1 side. The top surface 17a of the groove 17 inside the case 10 is inclined so that the X2 side is deeper than the X1 side. Therefore, when a force is applied to push the second sliding portion 130 in the Z1 direction, the inclination of the upper surface 133 of the second sliding portion 130 and the inclination of the top surface 17a of the groove portion 17 of the case 10 cause the second The sliding portion 130 is pushed to the X2 side, and the contact side surface 132 of the second sliding portion 130 contacts the side surface 17b of the groove portion 17 on the X2 side. Accordingly, even if the second sliding portion 130 moves in the groove portion 17 by operating the lever 40, the contact side surface 132 of the second sliding portion 130 and the side surface 17b of the groove portion 17 are in contact with each other. The movable electrode 135 of the second slider 130 follows the same trajectory on the second resistive layer 72 as the state is maintained and the second slider 130 moves in the Y1-Y2 direction. Therefore, even if it is used for a long period of time, it is possible to input information in the correct operation direction.

When the lever 40 is pushed down in the Z2 direction, the drive transmission section 35 also swings along with the swinging of the shaft section 33 described above. At this time, the U-shaped opening 36 of the drive transmission portion 35 moves relative to the protrusion 131 of the second sliding portion 130 . At this time, assuming that the upper surface 133 of the second sliding portion 130 and the top surface 17a of the groove portion 17 of the case 10 are not inclined, the second actuator 30 does not move with respect to the protrusion 131 of the second sliding portion 130. When the opening 36 of the drive transmission portion 35 moves, they may come into contact with each other and the second sliding portion 130 may move in the X1-X2 direction. However, in the present embodiment, the upper surface 133 of the second sliding portion 130 and the top surface 17a of the groove portion 17 of the case 10 are inclined, and the contact side surface 132 of the second sliding portion 130 , the second sliding portion 130 does not move in the X1-X2 direction, and the second sliding portion 130 moves in the Y1-Y2 direction. follows the same trajectory to

The other protrusion 224 is on the Z2 side, and the extending directions of the two protrusions 224 are formed parallel to each other. When there is only one protrusion 224, the first sliding portion 220 may be inclined with respect to the ZX plane. It is preferable to provide two protrusions 224 on the side surface 222 .

Also, as shown in FIG. 20, the side surfaces 232 of the second sliding portion 230 are provided at two locations on the Y1 side and the Y2 side, and each side surface 232 has a projection 234 on one side of the Z1 side. The other protrusion 234 is on the Z2 side, and the extending directions of the two protrusions 234 are formed parallel to each other. If there is only one protrusion 234, the second sliding portion 230 may be inclined with respect to the YZ plane. It is preferable to provide two protrusions 234 on the side surface 232 .

In the present embodiment, by providing projection 224 on first sliding portion 220, as shown in FIG. The moving portion 220 is brought into contact with the protrusion 224 and the side surface 16b of the groove portion 16 inside the case 10 . As a result, the contact area between the first sliding portion 220 and the case 10 can be reduced. In this way, by reducing the contact area between the first sliding portion 220 and the side surface 16b of the groove portion 16, the contact between the first sliding portion 220 and the side surface 16b of the groove portion 16 inside the case 10 is reduced. Since the generated friction is reduced, the movement of the first sliding portion 220 in the X1-X2 direction becomes smoother.

Moreover, by providing the projection 234 on the second sliding portion 230, as shown in FIG. The portion 234 and the side surface 17b of the groove portion 17 inside the case 10 are in contact with each other. Thereby, the contact area between the second sliding portion 230 and the case 10 can be reduced. In this way, by reducing the contact area between the second sliding portion 230 and the side surface 17b of the groove portion 17, the contact between the second sliding portion 230 and the side surface 17b of the groove portion 17 inside the case 10 is reduced.
