The second motor M12 rotates (reverses) and the right mirror surface tilts rightward.

In particular, in this electric circuit, the push plate 3 is provided on the diagonal line 4 in addition to the regular 4 directions.
Even if the location is pushed, there is no risk that the mirror surface will malfunction. For example, push plate 3
When the upper right is pushed, as shown in Fig. 13,
The second set of switches (the third one-pole single-throw contact switch 53
And, even if the fourth switch 54) of the 1-pole single throw contact is turned on, the circuit is the switch 51 and the fifth switch of the first 1-pole single throw contact.
Since it is cut off by the 1 pole single throw contact switch 55 of
No current flows, the motors M11 to M22 are not driven, and the mirror surface does not malfunction.

When the lower left portion of the push plate 3 is pushed, as shown in FIG. 14, the fourth set of switches (the switch 57 of the seventh 1-pole single throw contact and the eighth switch of the 1-pole single throw contact) is used. Even if the switch 58) is turned on, the circuit is cut off by the first one-pole single-throw contact switch 51 and the fifth one-pole single-throw contact switch 55, so that no current flows, and the motors M11 to M22. Does not drive and the mirror surface does not malfunction.

Further, when the lower right portion of the push plate 3 is pushed, as shown in FIG. 15, a third set of switches (a fifth one-pole single throw contact switch 55 and a sixth one switch) is provided.
Even if the pole single throw contact switch 56) is turned on, the circuit remains the first
1 pole single throw contact switch 51, third 1 pole single throw contact switch 53 and fourth 1 pole single throw contact switch 54
Since the switch 57 is cut off by the seventh single-pole single throw contact switch 57, no current flows, the motors M11 to M22 are not driven, and the mirror surface does not malfunction.

Furthermore, when the upper left portion of the push plate 3 is pushed, as shown in FIG. 16, the first set of switches (the first one-pole single throw contact switch 51 and the second switch
Even if the switch 52) of the one-pole single-throw contact is turned on, the circuit is the switch 53 of the third one-pole single-throw contact, the switch 55 of the fifth one-pole single-throw contact, and the eighth one-pole single-throw contact. Since it is cut off by the switch 58 of, the current does not flow and the motor M1
1 to M22 are not driven, and the mirror surface does not malfunction.

As described above, when one actuator is pushed in and one set of switches is turned on, the motors M11 to M22 are not driven without a current flowing, and therefore two push plates 3 are pushed. There is no possibility that the mirror surface will malfunction during the period in which the timing of the pushing operation of the actuator is deviated and one set of switches is first turned on until the other set of switches is turned on.

In the above-described embodiment, the two 1-pole single-throw contact switches of each set of switches are replaced by the electric circuit board 6.
There is no problem even if they are interchanged with each other in the electric circuit.
For example, the first one-pole single throw contact switch 51 and the second one-pole switch 51
The switch 52 of the single pole single throw contact, the switch 53 of the third single pole single throw contact, the switch 54 of the fourth single pole single throw contact, the switch 55 of the fifth single pole single throw contact and the sixth of The single pole single throw contact switch 56 may be replaced with the seventh single pole single throw contact switch 57 and the eighth single pole single throw contact switch 58.

In FIGS. 2 and 5 and FIGS. 17 to 21, reference numeral 7 is a rotating body of the interlock mechanism. This interlock mechanism restricts the push operation of the push plate 3 at two or more locations at the same time. The rotating body 7 is made of, for example, synthetic resin and has a ring shape. The rotating body 7 is formed by a rotation guide portion 101 provided on the partition plate 12 of the upper case 1 between the upper surface of the electric circuit board 6 in the cases 1 and 2 and the lower surface of the partition plate 12 of the upper case 1. , Is rotatably arranged around the central axis.

A small hemispherical convex portion 75 is integrally provided on the lower surface of the rotating body 7, and by this convex portion 75,
The rotating body 7 smoothly rotates on the electric circuit board 6. Further, on the upper surface of the rotating body 7, two sets of substantially V-shaped inclined surfaces 71 and 72 of the interlock mechanism are provided.
And simply two sets of recesses 73 and 74 having a substantially U shape.
And are provided respectively.

As described above, the rotating body 7 is arranged so as to be rotatable about an axis substantially perpendicular to the push plate 3. The two sets of inclined surfaces 71 and 72 are provided in the rotation direction of the rotating body 7. Further, the convex portions 410 and 410 of the first actuator 41 and the third actuator 43 on the diagonal direction (the diagonal line from the upper left to the lower right) of one of the four actuators are the two inclined surfaces 71 and 72. Are located in each.

The two convex portions 410, 410 and the two
The inclined surfaces 71, 72 of the set have the push plate 3 1
When two sets of switches are operated by pushing at a position, one convex portion slides on one set of inclined surfaces, the rotating body 7 rotates, and another one set of inclined surfaces changes to another. By abutting against one convex portion, there is a relative positional relationship that restricts push operation of the push plate 3 at other places. That is, as shown in FIG. 17, the two sets of inclined surfaces 71 and 72 are arranged at positions deviated from an equal interval of 180 ° (the center of the bottom of the first inclined surface 71 and the second set). The angle θ1 on the side of the first recess 73 with the center of the bottom of the inclined surface 72 is 180
Is larger than 180 °, and the angle θ2 on the second recess 74 side between the center of the bottom of the first inclined surface 71 and the center of the bottom of the second set of inclined surfaces 72 is smaller than 180 °. It is arranged so that the sum of θ1 and θ2 is 360 °). On the other hand, the two convex portions 410, 410 are arranged at equal intervals of 180 ° (one diagonal line from the upper left to the lower right), as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19. The rotating body 7, the two convex portions 410, 410 and the two sets of inclined surfaces 71, 72 constitute an interlock mechanism.

The above-mentioned two sets of recesses 73 and 74 are each
They are arranged at equal intervals of 80 ° (on another diagonal line from the upper right to the lower left). On the other hand, the convex portions 410 and 410 of the second actuator 42 and the fourth actuator 44 on the other diagonal direction from the upper right to the lower left of the four actuators are the above-mentioned two sets of concave portions 73 and 74.
Are located in each. The two sets of recesses 73 and 7
The fitting between the four convex portions 410 and the two convex portions 410 does not prevent the rotation of the rotating body 7 described later.

The operation of the interlock mechanism constructed as above will be described below. First, the push plate 3 is pushed at a certain position, for example, the "upper" position. Then, the two adjacent actuators (the first actuator 41 and the second actuator 4) corresponding to the position where the push operation of the push plate 3 is performed are performed.
2) is pushed and descends, and these two actuators (first actuator 41 and second actuator 4)
The actuating parts 400, 400 of 2) push down the movable contacts 510 and 520 and 530 and 540 of the rubber contact 5 against the elastic force of the flexible part 501, and the movable contacts 510 and 520 and 530 and 540 of the rubber contact 5 are pushed down.
Are fixed contacts 511, 512 and 52 of the electric circuit board 6.
1, 522 and 531, 532 and 541, 542 are electrically contacted, and the first set of switches 51, 52 and the second set of switches 53, 54 are turned on (see FIG. 21A).

At this time, the first actuator 41 located at the upper left of the two lowered actuators described above.
Convex portion 410 slides on the right-side inclined surface of the first set of inclined surfaces 71 (see FIG. 20 (B) and FIG. 21 (B)),
The rotating body 7 moves clockwise in FIG. 17 (see FIGS. 19 and 21).
(B), the convex portion 410 of the first actuator 41 is located at the valley of the first inclined surface 71. With the rotation of the rotating body 7, the left-side inclined surface of the second inclined surface 72 of the rotating body 7 and the convex portion 410 of the third actuator 43 located diagonally below and to the right of the first actuator 41.
(See FIG. 21 (B)). For this reason, during the push operation at the "upper" portion of the push plate 3, the push operation at the "right" and "lower" portions of the push plate 3 becomes impossible. Further, the push plate 3 is composed of one plate (integrated plate), and
Since the convex portion 410 of the actuator 41 is in contact with the first inclined surface 71 of the rotating body 7, during the push operation at the “up” portion of the push plate 3, at the “left” portion of the push plate 3. For the push operation, either the "upper" location or the "left" location is pushed with the contact point as the fulcrum, and the "upper" location and the "left" location are pushed simultaneously. It can not be operated.

As a result, the push plate 3 is restricted from being pushed at the other three positions "right", "down", and "left", and the other two sets of switches in the OFF state (third set).
Switches 55, 56 of the set and switches 57, 5 of the fourth set
It can be regulated that 8) turns on.

When the "right" portion of the push plate 3 is pushed, the convex portion 410 of the third actuator 43 located at the lower right slides on the second inclined surface 72, is located at the valley thereof, and rotates. The body 7 is shown in FIGS. 19 and 21 (B).
Rotate in the direction opposite to the arrow inside (counterclockwise)
The first inclined surface 71 of the above contacts the above-mentioned third actuator 43 and the convex portion 410 of the first actuator 41 located diagonally on the upper left, and the other three positions of the push plate 3 “up”, “down”, “ Push operations on the "left" are restricted. Further, even in the push operation at the “lower” position or the “left” position of the push plate 3, the push operation at the other three positions of the push plate 3 is restricted as described above. Moreover, even when the entire push plate 3 is pushed, the four lock switches 51 to 58 are prevented from being turned on by the interlock mechanism. When the push operation of the push plate 3 is stopped, the flexible portion 501, which is elastically deformed by being pushed down by the operating portion 400 of the actuator on the push operating side, returns to its original state due to the elastic return force. The actuator on the operating side rises and the push plate 3 returns to the original state (normal state or neutral state).

As described above, the interlock mechanism equipped in the four-way switch device of the present invention in this embodiment is different depending on the descending operation of the convex portion 410 of the actuators 41 to 44 and the rotating operation of the rotating body 7. Since the two sets of switches in the OFF state are each restricted from being turned on, it can be made compact as compared with the conventional four-way switch device in which the restriction member slides in four directions.

Further, since the four-way switch device of the present invention in this embodiment uses the rotating body 7 of the ring member, the central circular through hole 76 of the rotating body 7 can be utilized. For example, as in this embodiment, since the two-way switch device 8 can be arranged at the center of the four-way switch device of the present invention through the central circular through hole 76 of the rotating body 7, it can be made more compact. You can

In the above embodiment, the first inclined surface 71 and the second inclined surface 72 of the rotating body 7 are substantially V-shaped, but the first actuator 41 and the third actuator 4
The one side slope may be used as long as it contributes to the abutment slide of the third protrusion 410. For example, in FIGS. 20 and 21, the first inclined surface 71 is the right inclined surface,
The second inclined surface 72 is the left inclined surface. In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the first recess 73 and the second recess 7 of the rotating body 7 are provided.
4 is not always necessary. In this case, the convex portions 410 of the second actuator 42 and the fourth actuator 44 are unnecessary. Further, although the rotary type is used as the interlock mechanism in the above-mentioned embodiment, the interlock mechanism is a slide type in which the regulating member slides in four directions (e.g.
No. 41141).

Particularly, in the four-way switch device of the present invention in this embodiment, the four actuators 41 to 44 are located at four positions on two diagonal directions with respect to the four operation directions of the push plate 3, that is, on the push plate 3. Since it is arranged at each of the four corners, push plate 3
When the push operation is performed in one of the operation directions, for example, the “up” direction, as shown in FIGS. 22A and 22B, the elastic engagement claw 30 on the side opposite to the push operation side of the push plate 3 is provided. The distance L2 from the fulcrum S, which is the engagement point between the engagement hole 17 of the case 1 and the two actuators (third actuator 43 and fourth actuator 44) on the opposite side of the push operation side, from the fulcrum S to the push operation. Since it is extremely smaller than the distance L1 to the two actuators on the side (first actuator 41 and the second actuator 42), the two actuators on the side opposite to the push operation side (the third actuator 43 and the fourth actuator 44). ) Of the two actuators (first actuator 41 and second actuator 42) on the push operation side. It is extremely smaller than the penetration depth of T1. As a result, two sets of switches (third set of switches 55 and 56 and fourth set of switches 57 and 58) are provided via the two actuators (third actuator 43 and fourth actuator 44) on the side opposite to the push operation side. ) Is false ON
In order to prevent this, in the OFF state (state in which the push plate 3 is not pushed in any direction) shown in FIG. Depression amount T of the third actuator 43 and the fourth actuator 44)
The switch is erroneous if you secure a small gap of 2
It is possible to reliably prevent N.

Further, the push plate 3 is pushed at a certain place (one direction), and the protrusion 410 of one of the actuators on the diagonal line and the inclined surface of the rotor 7 are brought into contact with each other so that the rotor 7 is rotated. In order to rotate, the gap between the convex portion of the other actuator and the other inclined surface of the rotating body 7 corresponding to the pushing amount T2 of the two actuators on the side opposite to the push operation side is required. is there. That is, if there is no gap corresponding to the pushing amount T2, even if the push plate 3 is pushed at a certain location (one direction), the projections 410 of the two actuators on the diagonal line form two sets of the rotating body 7. This is because the rotating body 7 cannot rotate by coming into contact with the inclined surface of. As a result, the pushing amount (T1−T2) corresponding to the pushing amount T1 of the push operation side actuator minus this gap T2 contributes to the rotation of the rotating body 7. Since the gap T2 is small as described above, the pushing amount (T1-T2) that contributes to the rotation of the rotating body 7 is large, and the rotating amount of the rotating body 7 is large. When the rotation amount of the rotating body 7 becomes large, the contact area between the convex portion 410 of the actuator on the side opposite to the push operation side and the inclined surface of the rotating body 7 becomes large, and the other portion (direction) of the push plate 3 Since the restriction range of the push operation is large, the actuators 41 to 44 and the rotating body 7 do not require high dimensional accuracy, and the push plate 3 is
It is possible to sufficiently restrict simultaneous push operations at more than one place.
