Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention provides a joystick control mechanism with a joystick control mechanism. A joystick configured so that a signal can be output by pressing the key. It concerns a tick-type control mechanism.

0002

[Conventional technology]

For example, a joystick used to operate a personal computer A mold control mechanism has a structure as shown in FIG. In other words, 1 is the joyste This is a rectangular case for a block type control mechanism. A swinging pestle 2 that protrudes from the top surface and is supported so as to be movable in front, back, left and right directions is maintained. A push switch 3 is incorporated in one corner of the rectangular case 1. Ru.

0003 In this way, the operation of the joystick type control mechanism rotates the swinging pestle 2. A perforated plate that is incorporated into the case 1 and located between the light emitter and the light receiver. rotates and generates appropriate pulses to move the cursor on the computer screen to a desired location, for example. menu, and then the cursor is positioned over this desired menu. A menu selection signal is output by pressing the push switch 3 when the menu is placed. The menu is then finalized.

0004

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

In this way, with the conventional joystick control mechanism, it is difficult to move the cursor. An oscillating pestle 2 for tightening and a pressing switch for confirming the menu at a different position from the oscillating pestle 2 position. A switch 3 is provided, and the swinging punch 2 position and the press switch 3 position are Because it is far away, it is difficult to press the push switch 3 quickly after operating the swinging pestle. It was difficult and the workability was poor.

[0005] In addition, in the above structure, the swinging pestle 2 and the press switch 3 can be moved by hand while looking at the screen etc. When trying to operate the press switch, the position of the push switch may be difficult to locate, resulting in poor work efficiency. There was a problem.

[0006]

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention was developed by focusing on such conventional problems, and it is In the istic type control mechanism, a spherical cover is placed over the swinging punch and , a press switch is interposed between the tip of the swinging pestle and the cover, and the cover is rotated. For example, by moving the cursor on a computer, you can also use a spherical cover. For example, by pressing , you can confirm the menu, and Joystick type that makes control work easier with joystick The purpose is to provide a control mechanism.

[0007]

【Example】

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.

[0008] 11 is a box-shaped case having an opening 12 only on the top surface; An output controller 13 is installed inside. This output controller 13 has an oscillating A punch 14 is provided, and the lower end of this swing punch 14 is fitted with a universal bearing 15. The swinging punch 14 is supported by a conventional joystick type control mechanism. It is constructed so that it can be tilted freely in any direction, front, back, left, or right. Ru. 16 is brought into close contact with the circumferential surface of the opening 12 of the case 11, and the top thereof is A hemispherical cover whose size is set to protrude outward from the opening 12. A push switch 17 is fixed on the back side of the top of the cover 16. The operating piece 18 of the press switch 17 is in contact with the tip of the swinging punch 14 . 1 9 makes the actuating piece 18 of the push switch 17 double, and the front side of the cover 16. This is a spring for holding the surface in pressure contact with the circumferential surface of the opening.

[0009] The above is the configuration of this embodiment.Next, we will discuss its function.The semicircular shape Since the bar 16 is integrated with the swinging punch 14 via the press switch 17, , by rotating the cover 16, the swinging punch 14 is rotated by rotating the cover 16. As a result, for example, the cursor in a microcontroller moves as desired on the display screen. It can be moved to the position of

0010 Next, the cover 16 is applied with the elastic force of the spring 19, and as shown in FIG. 6 from the radial direction (direction A), the tip of the swinging punch 14 activates the switch 17. When the moving piece 18 is pressed, the switch 17 is operated, and as a result, for example, the image on the microcomputer is You can choose from a side menu.

[0011] In this way, according to the joystick type control mechanism of this embodiment, the spherical cover 16 By rotating the , you can move the cursor on a microcontroller, for example, and By pressing the spherical cover 16 in the direction of the ball core, the press switch can be pressed and operated. This joystick-type control mechanism can be used, for example, in a car computer. It is ideal for installing in the car as a computer and operating it by hand while driving. In particular, it is easy to operate by hand, and in the case of automobiles, it is useful for safety. Ru.

0012

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, the present invention is based on a swinging pestle that is supported so as to be able to swing vertically and horizontally around a single point. 14, and a joystick type control mechanism that emits a signal in accordance with the rocking displacement. Then, a spherical cover 16 having a center point that coincides with the fulcrum of the swinging punch 14 is attached to the spherical cover 16. A press switch is placed around the oscillating pestle 14 and is placed between the tip of the oscillating pestle and the spherical cover. Since it is a joystick type control mechanism with 17 interposed, according to this, the above Each operation can be easily performed by rotating and pushing the spherical cover 16. This makes it especially suitable for operating this joystick-type control mechanism by hand. It has excellent operability.
