[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an operating device mounted on an on-vehicle audio equipment or the like, and prevents light for illumination from leaking from the outer periphery of an operating member for pressing a switch
Further, the present invention relates to an operating device capable of effectively illuminating the operating member.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 5 is a sectional view showing a conventional operating device provided in an on-vehicle audio equipment. A reference numeral 1 in the drawing is a circuit board, and the board 1 is fixed inside a nose portion (operation plate) 4 provided as a decorative portion on the front surface of the audio equipment body. Electronic components such as switches 2 and 2 for executing various operations of the audio equipment and a light source 5 for night illumination are mounted on the substrate 1. The switches 2 and 2 operate by pressing the movable parts 2a and 2a. The operation member 3 is inserted into the hole 4a of the nose portion 4. This operation member 3 is a fulcrum 3 at the center.
a is supported by the nose portion 4 and swings.
Pressing portions 3b, 3b are formed on the back surface of the operating member 3 at positions sandwiching the fulcrum 3a. The pressing portions 3b, 3b are formed.
As a result, the movable portions 2a, 2a of the switches 2, 2 are pressed.

A light guide member 6 made of a light guide material such as a transparent resin material is provided between the substrate 1 and the nose portion 4, and the light source 5 has a recess 6 formed in the light guide member 6.
It is inserted in a. The light emitted from the light source 5 is guided by the light guide member 6 and given to the back surface of the operation member 3. Although the light source 5 is located on the back side of the operation member 3 in FIG. 5, the light source 5 is usually provided at a position away from the operation member 3 and the light from the light source 5 is guided to the light guide member 6. Is given to the operation member 3. The operation member 3 is partially or entirely formed of a transparent or semitransparent resin material. As shown in FIG. 6, a display unit S is provided on the surface of the operation member 3 for displaying operation types such as characters and symbols. For example, white or other coating or plating appears on the display portion S (portions such as letters), and the surface of the operation member 3 other than the display portion S is coated with black or other coating or plating.
When the light from the light source 5 is guided to the light guide member 6 and applied to the back surface of the operation member 3, when viewed from the front of the nose portion 4,
The characters and symbols on the display section S are illuminated so that the type of the operation member 3 can be easily confirmed at night.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional operating device, since the light guide member 6 is disposed inside the operating member 3, a gap (a) between the periphery of the operating member 3 and the nose portion 4 is formed. There is a problem that light easily leaks to the outside. In particular, in the case of the operating member 3 that swings as shown in FIG. 5, the swinging operation of the operating member 3 is allowed between the outer periphery of the operating member 3 and the inner peripheral surface of the hole 4a of the nose portion 4. Since the gap (a) that is as wide as possible is formed, the light emitted from the light guide member 6 or the light emitted from the light source 5 leaks to the outside of the nose portion 4 through the gap (a), so that the nose portion 4 is exposed at night. When viewed from the outside, unnatural light is emitted from the outer circumference of the operation member 3 to impair the appearance. Therefore, conventionally, the operation member 3
A light-blocking cushion material 7 such as rubber or resin that covers the gap (a) is provided on the back side of the light-blocking cushion material 7, and the light-blocking cushion material 7 is bent when the operation member 3 swings.

However, since the light-shielding cushion material 7 is formed of a soft material such as rubber or a soft resin material, when the operating member 3 swings, the light-shielding cushion material 7 fits into the gap (a) or the operating member. 3 has a defect that it is broken by the back corners. Further, in the assembling work, it is necessary to bond the light-shielding cushion material 7 to the back surface of the nose portion 4, which has a drawback of increasing the number of work steps. Also, as shown in FIG.
When the switch 2 and the light guide member 6 are provided adjacent to each other inside the operation member 3, the space where the light guide member 6 can be arranged becomes narrow, and the area of the surface 6b of the light guide member 6 facing the operation member 3 becomes narrow. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the area of the facing surface 6b of the light guide member 3 becomes smaller than the area of the display portion S where the characters and symbols are formed, and the light given to the operation member 3 is L at the central portion. It is strong in the range shown and weakens as it goes around it. Therefore, it becomes impossible to uniformly illuminate the characters and symbols on the display unit S.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. It is possible to prevent light leakage from the outer periphery of the operating member without adding a new component, and to prevent the display portion formed on the operating member. It is an object of the present invention to provide an operating device capable of effectively illuminating.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an operating member is supported by an operating plate so that the operating member can be pressed, and a switch having a movable portion that is pressed by the operating member is provided inside the operating plate.
In an operating device in which a light guide member for giving light from a light source to an operating member is arranged, a light-shielding plate that integrally covers a gap between the operating member and the operating plate from the inside is formed on the operating plate. The plate is formed with a hole into which the movable portion is inserted.

In this case, the operating member includes a member that swings and presses the movable portion of one switch, and a member that linearly slides by the pressing operation. Further, the light shielding plate is provided outside the region where the light guide member faces the operation member, and the light shielding plate covers the gap between the operation member and the operation plate from the inside of the operation plate.

Alternatively, according to the present invention, a pair of operating members are provided on the operating plate, the operating members swinging about a center of the operating plate, and a movable portion that is pressed by a portion of the operating member sandwiching the supporting point. Of the switch and a light guide member for applying light from a light source to the operation member, the light guide member faces the operation member in the middle of both switches, and the operation plate has an operation member. And a switch are integrally formed with a light shielding plate, and a hole into which the movable portion is inserted is formed in the light shielding plate.

In this case, the light-shielding plate is operated with the operation member at least at both ends of the operation member on the rocking side (both ends in the arrangement direction of the pair of switches) except the region where the light guide member faces the operation member. The light shielding plate covers the gap between the plate and the inside of the operation plate.

In both of the above means, the movable portion of the switch has a shape having a step on the outer circumference thereof, and an uneven portion along the step is formed on the inner circumference of the hole formed in the light shielding plate. it can.

In each of the above means, the hole formed in the light shielding plate surrounds the entire circumference of the movable portion of the switch, or surrounds at least a part of the periphery of the movable portion. That is, at least a part of the movable portion of the switch is inserted into the hole formed in the light shielding plate.

Further, in each of the above means, it is preferable that the light guide member has a concave or convex lens surface facing the operation member.

[0014]

In the above-mentioned means, the light guide member is provided at a position adjacent to the switch pressed by the operation member,
The light from the light guide member easily leaks to the outside through the gap between the outer periphery of the operation member and the operation plate through the switch arrangement area. However, since the operation plate is provided with the light-shielding plate and the movable part of the switch is inserted into the hole formed in the light-shielding plate, light is less likely to leak from the periphery of the movable part of the switch toward the operation plate, and the outer periphery of the operation member is reduced. It becomes difficult for light to leak to the outside through the gap between the and operation plate. Further, since the light shield plate is formed integrally with the operation plate, it is not necessary to provide a separate component for light shield, and the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced.

In particular, the operating member swings around the central portion as a fulcrum, the movable portions of the pair of switches are pushed by the portions sandwiching the fulcrum of the operating member, and the light guide member is provided between both switches. Then, the gap between the operation member and the operation plate at both ends of the operation member on the rocking side (both ends in the arrangement direction of the pair of switches) becomes a little larger and light is apt to leak, but it opposes both right ends of the operation member. Since the movable portion of each switch is inserted into the hole of the light shielding plate, it becomes difficult for light to reach the gap portion, and light leakage can be effectively prevented.

Further, when the movable portion of the switch has a shape having a step around the periphery, if the shape of the hole of the light shielding plate is an uneven shape along the step, the movable portion and the light shielding plate at the stepped portion are formed. It becomes possible to prevent light leakage from the gap.

Further, since the light guide member and the switch are provided adjacent to each other inside the operation member, the area of the facing surface of the light guide member facing the operation member is limited, and the operation member is controlled from the opposite surface. You cannot effectively give light. Therefore, if the facing surface of the light guide member having the limited area is a concave (concave spherical surface or concave cylindrical shape) lens surface, the light given from the light guide member to the operating member is diffused to illuminate the operating member. Thus, the display section provided on the operation member can be uniformly illuminated.

On the contrary, if the facing surface is a convex (convex spherical surface or convex cylindrical surface) lens surface, the light given to the operating member can be focused and the display portion formed on the operating member can be focused. When the area is small, this small display section can be effectively illuminated. That is, when the light guide member and the switch are adjacent to each other inside the operating member, the switch takes up space to reduce the cross-sectional area of the light guiding member to the portion facing the operating member, and the light guiding member is provided to the operating member. The amount of light decreases. Therefore, by converging and giving light to the operating member by the convex lens surface, the display portion of the operating member can be effectively illuminated with a small amount of light.

The illumination section 23 has a cross-sectional area that gradually expands. The front end surface of the illumination section 23 is an opposed surface 23a that faces the operation member 40 from the inner surface side. Since the illuminating part 23 is located in the middle of the movable parts 13 and 13 above the main body 12a of the switch 12, the facing surface 23a has the movable part 13a.

When the operating member 40 is inserted into the hole 31a from the front surface side of the first support arm 34, 34, the supporting arms 34, 34 are once flexed by elastic deformation, and the fulcrum projections 34a, 34a are fulcrum holes 4 of the operating member 40.
1, 41 is fitted. Therefore, the operating member 40 is the fulcrum protrusion 3
4A and 34a and the fitting portions of the fulcrum holes 41 and 41 can be swung about the center as a fulcrum, and the operation member 40 is supported by the operation plate 31 so as to be freely pushed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, between the both side surfaces in the direction orthogonal to the swinging direction of the operation member 40 (both side surfaces in the direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the switches 12, 12) and the side walls 32, 32. A slight gap (b) (b) is formed in the space, but the inside of the gap (b) (b) is covered with the light shielding plates 33, 33.

On the back surface of the operating member 40, a pair of pressing portions 42, 42 are formed so as to project at positions sandwiching the swing fulcrum.
At the time when the operation member 40 is swingably attached to the operation plate 31, the pressing portions 42 and 42 are respectively connected to the switches 12 and 1.
The second movable portions 13, 13 come into contact with the tip surfaces of the movable portions 13, 13. Pressing part 4
The reference numerals 2 and 42 make contact with the tip surfaces of the movable portions 13 and 13 without any gap. The movable parts 13, 13 are the switch body 12a,
Since the spring provided in 12a biases the movable portions 13 and 13 in the protruding direction, the movable portions 13 and 13 are in close contact with the pressing portions 42 and 42 of the operating member 40 at the positions sandwiching the fulcrum. Member 40 is maintained in the neutral position shown in solid lines in FIG.

The light shielding plates 36, 36 extending in the horizontal direction in the figure are integrally formed. Both ends of the operating member 40 on the swing side and the operating plate 3
The light shielding plates 36 and 36 cover the gap (C) from the inside from the inside. Holes (or notches) 37, 37 are formed in the edges of the light shielding plates 36, 36,
The movable parts 13, 13 of the switches 12, 12 have the holes 3
It is inserted in 7, 37. As shown in FIG. 4, hole 3
The inner peripheral portions of 7, 37 have a shape that is the same as or similar to the outer peripheral shape of the movable portion 13. That is, on the inner circumference of the hole 37, a concave portion 37a corresponding to the convex portion 13a of the movable portion 13 is formed.
And convex portions 37b corresponding to the concave portions 13b of the movable portion 13 are formed alternately. That is, the inner circumferences of the holes 37, 37 have an uneven shape along the steps of the outer circumference of the movable portion 13. Therefore, the gap between the movable portion 13 and the light shielding plate 36 is minimized.

The operation member 40 is partially or entirely formed of a transparent or semitransparent resin material. As shown in FIG. 4, a display unit S is provided on the surface of the operation member 40 to display operation types such as characters and symbols. For example, white or other coating or plating appears on the display portion S (portions such as letters), and the surface of the operation member 40 other than the display portion S is coated with black or other coating or plating. Figure 2
The facing surface 23a of the light guide member 20 shown in FIG. 2 faces the back surface of the operation member 40 in the portion where the display portion S is formed.

Next, the operation of the operating device having the above structure will be described. In this operating device, when one end of the surface of the operating member 40 is pressed by a finger, the operating member 40 swings with the fitting portion between the fulcrum protrusion 34a and the fulcrum hole 41 as a fulcrum, as shown by a broken line in FIG. . At this time, the movable portion 13 is pushed by the one pushing portion 42, and the switch 12 is operated. Gaps (b) and (c) between the operation member 40 and the operation plate 31 are formed on the outer periphery of the operation member 40. As shown in FIG. 2, a gap (c) is relatively wide between the both ends of the operating member 40 on the rocking side and the operating plate 31 to allow the rocking motion of the operating member 40. Further, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the bottom portions 40a at both ends of the operating member 40 in the swinging direction are lifted and moved to the vicinity of the surface of the operating plate 31 during the swinging operation. Light easily leaks through the gap (C).

However, the inside of each gap (c) is covered with the light shielding plates 36, 36.
Surrounds the movable part 13 of the switch 12 and
Of the main body 12a. Therefore,
The light leaking from the body portion 21 of the light guide member 20 to the outside and the light leaking from the light guide portion 22 of the light guide member 20 to the outside are protected by the light shielding plate 36.
The light is blocked in a wider range by the operation member 40 and the operation plate 31.
It is difficult for the light to reach the gap (c) between and. Therefore,
Light leakage to the outside of the operation plate 31 from the gap (c) is almost eliminated.

This is the same as in FIG. 3, and since the gap (b) between the operating member 40 and the operation plate 31 is covered by the light shielding plate 33 inward, the operation plate 31 is exposed from this gap (b). Almost no light leaks outside. Further, the light from the light source 14 passes from the inside of the main body portion 21 of the light guide member 20 to the inside of the light guide portion 22, and is reflected by the reflecting surface 22 a to be illuminated by the illumination portion 23.
It is guided inward and given to the back surface of the operating member 40 from the facing surface 23a. Since the facing surface 23a facing the operating member 40 is a concave lens surface, light is given from the facing surface 23a to the operating member 40 in a divergent or diffused manner, as indicated by an arrow in FIG. By the light given from the facing surface 23a, the display portion S such as characters and symbols provided on the surface of the operation member 40 is displayed.
Is illuminated.

As shown in FIG. 2, the facing surface 23a of the light guide member 20 has as large an area as possible. However, since the movable portions 13, 13 of the switches 12, 12 are provided on both sides, the area of the facing surface 23a is large. Is limited, and as shown in FIG.
It is inevitable that the area 3a is smaller than the area of the entire display portion S of the operation member 40. However, since light diverges and is emitted from the facing surface 23a, it is possible to illuminate the display portion S such as the characters and symbols shown in FIG. 4 with a uniform brightness in a wide range. The facing surface 23a of the light guide member 20
However, it may be a concave cylindrical surface having an axis that does not deform in the direction (Y direction) orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the characters of the display section S shown in FIG. In this case, since the bending direction of the cylindrical surface is the X direction, light is diverged in the X direction and given, and it becomes possible to illuminate the characters of the display section S arranged in the Y direction with uniform brightness.

Further, the display section S shown in FIG.
In the case of a symbol or the like existing only in the vicinity of the central portion of the surface, the facing surface 23a is formed into a convex spherical surface or a convex cylindrical surface, so that light can be focused on the display portion S and effectively illuminated. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG.
When the light guide portion 22 of the light guide member 20 is adjacent to the switches 12 and 12 and extends between the switches 12 and 12, the width dimension W of the light guide portion 22 and the height dimension of the base portion thereof. It is unavoidable that H becomes small and the cross-sectional area (H × W) of the light guide portion 22 becomes small. Therefore, the amount of light guided from the light source 14 to the facing surface 23a is reduced. Therefore, by converging the opposing surface 23a as a convex lens surface on the display portion of the operation member 40, it is possible to effectively capture light and illuminate the display portion with sufficient brightness.

In the illustrated embodiment, the operating member 40 having a fulcrum at the center and swinging is illustrated, but the operating member oscillates with one end as a fulcrum, and the other end allows movement of one switch. It may be one that operates a unit. Alternatively, the operation member may linearly slide in a direction orthogonal to the operation plate. Also in these cases, it is possible to effectively prevent light leakage from the gap between the operation member and the operation plate when the light guide member adjacent to the switch is provided. Further, since the light blocking plate 36 is formed integrally with the operation plate 31, it is not necessary to provide a separate member for light blocking. Further, the operating device of the present invention is not limited to being mounted on a vehicle, but may be implemented in other fields as long as it requires illumination of the display section.

[0034]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to effectively prevent light from leaking to the outside through the gap between the operating plate that swings or the operating member that linearly moves and the operating plate. Further, since the shading plate is formed integrally with the operation plate, it is not necessary to provide a separate part for shading, and the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced.

When the movable portion of the switch has a stepped shape on the periphery, the periphery of the hole formed in the light shielding plate is made into an uneven shape along the stepped portion of the movable portion, whereby the movable portion and the light shielding plate are separated from each other. Light leakage from the gap can be effectively prevented.

Further, by making the surface of the light guide member facing the operating member a lens surface, it is effective for the operating member even if the cross-sectional area of the light guide plate adjacent to the switch or the area facing the operating member is small. Lighting can be done.
