Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a switch operating device for operating a switch attached to a circuit board.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, a technology such as Utility Model Application Publication No. 103421/1983 has been proposed as a switch operating device for operating a switch (for example, a tact switch) attached to a circuit board, and the switch operation is shown in Fig. 2. A side view of the device is shown.

To explain the figure number and structure of Figure 2, 1
4 is a press button provided on the front surface of the movable part 3 disposed on the back side of the panel 2 to project the panel 2; 4 is a regulation provided on the front surface of the movable part 3 to regulate the protrusion length of the press button 1; A piece 5 is provided on the back surface of the movable part 3 and faces a switch 7 attached to a printed circuit board 6. An operation piece 8 is a hinge part, 9 is a support part, and 10 is connected to the panel 2 through the support part 9.
This is a screw that is screwed into the threaded part 11 on the back side of the . Generally, the above-mentioned switch operating device is integrally molded from resin, and when the press button 1 is pressed, the hinge portion 8
The switch 7 was operated using the operating piece 5 using the elastic force of the switch 7.

(c) Problems that the invention aims to solve Generally, the front of the panel is an important element that gives aesthetic appearance to the user, and if a design that gives aesthetic appearance is given priority over functionality, there will be restrictions on the placement position of the press button with respect to the panel. As a result, it became impossible to place a push button near a switch attached to a printed circuit board.

Therefore, as an example, if a certain distance is provided between the push button 1 and the operation piece 5 of the switch operating device shown in FIG. As a result, the elasticity of the hinge portion 8 may be lost or the hinge portion 8 may be destroyed, resulting in a problem that the switch cannot be operated normally.

(d) Means for solving the problem The purpose of the present invention is to provide a switch operation device that allows normal switch operation even if a certain distance is provided between the push button and the switch. A switch operating device for operating a switch operating device comprising: a movable part arranged on the back side of a panel; a push button provided on the front side of the movable part and inserted into a window of the panel; and a push button provided on the back side of the movable part an operating piece that faces the switch at a certain distance from the press button; and a pivot that is provided at one end of the movable part and held by a holding part on the back side of the panel, and rotates when the press button is pressed. and an elastic section that is provided at the other end of the movable section and engages with a regulating section on the back surface of the panel to release the operation piece from the switch operation state.

(E) Function According to the switch operation device of the present invention, when the push button is pressed, the movable part is pressed by the pressing force, and the rotating part held by the holding part rotates and engages with the regulating part. The combined elastic parts move against the elastic force, and the switch is operated by the operating piece. Further, when the pressure on the push button is released, the rotating part rotates in the opposite direction to that described above, and the elastic part moves by its elastic force, so that the operation of the switch by the operating piece is released.

(f) Examples The details of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to illustrated examples.

FIG. 1 is a side view showing an example of the switch operating device of the present invention. To explain its figure number and structure, 12 is a movable part arranged on the back side of the panel 13, 14 is a movable part arranged on the front side of the movable part 12. A press button 16 is provided and inserted into the window 15 of the panel 13, and is provided on the back surface of the movable part 12 and is at a certain distance from the press button 14, and is connected to the substrate 1.
an operating piece facing the switch 18 attached to 7;
19 is provided at one end of the movable part 12 and is held by the holding part 20 on the back surface of the panel 13,
a rotating part 2 that rotates when the press button 14 is pressed;
Reference numeral 1 designates an elastic portion that is provided at the other end of the movable portion 12 and engages with a regulating portion 22 on the back surface of the panel 13 to release the operating piece 16 from the operating state of the switch 18. The switch operating device constructed as described above may be integrally molded from resin or may be formed by combining separate parts.

First, when the press button 14 is pressed, the movable part 12 is pressed by the pressing force, and as a result, the rotating part 19 slightly rotates counterclockwise about the holding part 20, and the elastic part 21 is restrained. The switch 18 is moved against the elastic force while being engaged with the portion 22, and the switch 18 is pressed and operated by the operation piece 16. Further, when the press button 14 is released, the rotating part 19 moves to the holding part 2.
0 as a pivot axis, the elastic part 21 is moved by its elastic force while being engaged with the regulating part 22, and the operation of the switch 18 by the operating piece 16 is released.

Here, if the configuration shown in FIG. 1 is adopted, the press button 14
When the pressure is released, the movable part 12 moves to the elastic part 21
Due to the elastic force of the push button 14, the push button 14 comes into contact with the back surface of the panel 13, and this restricts the amount of push button 14 inserted into the window section 15. Press button 14 to 15
The amount of insertion becomes uniform, and the beauty of the panel 13 is maintained.

(G) Effects of the invention According to the switch operation device of the invention, even if the push button cannot be placed near the switch, it is possible to operate the switch normally with a simple configuration without spoiling the beauty of the front panel. This also provides advantages such as ease of mounting on the panel and improved workability. Furthermore, since the movable part, the push button, the operating piece, the rotating part, and the thin elastic part are all integrally formed, the structure is simple.
