  In this embodiment, the rotary member 30, the magnetic path forming member 40, and the power generation coil 47 constitute a power generation unit.

Next, the operation of the power generation input device 1 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3A, when no operating force is applied to any of the plurality of operating members 27, the switching member 20 is moved to the left (X1 side) by the elastic force of the compression coil spring 25. It is in the initial position. At this time, all the operation members 27 are lifted upward (Z1 direction) by the respective operation cams 22.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, when a downward operation force F is applied to the operation pressing portion 27a of the right operation member 27, a downward sliding force is applied to the operation cam 22 from the follower projection 27c of the right operation member 27. And the switching member 20 is moved in the right direction (X2 direction) to reach the switching position.

  Similarly, when the downward operation force F is applied to the operation pressing portion 27a of the operation member 27 disposed on the left side without operating the right operation member 27, the switching member 20 is moved in the right direction. It is moved in the (X2 direction).

  When the switching member 20 is in the initial position, as shown in FIG. 4A, the follower protrusion 36 is moved downward by the switching cam 23 provided on the switching member 20, and the rotating member 30 is moved clockwise. It is in the rotated initial position. When any one of the plurality of operation members 27 is pushed downward and the switching member 20 is moved to the switching position, the follower protrusion 36 is lifted by the switching cam 23 as shown in FIG. The member 30 is turned counterclockwise to the switching posture. When the operating force F applied to the operating member 27 is released, the switching member 20 is returned to the initial position by the urging force of the compression coil spring 25, and the rotating member 30 returns to the initial posture shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the magnetic flux path when the rotating member 30 is in the initial posture is as follows: magnet 31 → second magnetizing member 33 → lower end surface 33a of second magnetizing member 33 → lower facing end surface 42 → The magnetic path forming member 40 → the upper facing end face 41 → the upper end face 32 a of the first magnetizing member 32 → the first magnetizing member 32. When the rotating member 30 is in the switching posture shown in FIG. 4B, the magnetic flux path is changed from the magnet 31 to the second magnetizing member 33 to the upper end surface 33b of the second magnetizing member 33 to the upper facing end surface 41 to the magnetic path formation. The member 40 → the lower facing end face 42 → the lower end face 32 b of the first magnetizing member 32 → the first magnetizing member 32.

  While any one of the operation members 27 is pushed and the rotating member 30 rotates from the initial posture shown in FIG. 4A to the switching posture shown in FIG. 4B, the magnetic flux inside the magnetic path forming member 40 6 changes rapidly, the first electromotive force V1 shown in FIG. 6 is generated in the power generation coil 47, and the first induced current flows through the coil winding. Even when the operating force F applied to the operating member 27 is released and the rotating member 30 rotates from the switching position shown in FIG. 4A to the initial position shown in FIG. 4B, the direction of the magnetic flux inside the magnetic path forming member 40 Changes abruptly, the second electromotive force V2 shown in FIG. 6 is generated in the power generation coil 47, and the second induced current flows through the coil winding.

FIG. 5 shows a control circuit 50 attached to the power generation input device 1 shown in FIGS.
When the rotating member 30 rotates from the initial posture shown in FIG. 4 (A) to the switching posture shown in FIG. 4 (B), the first electromotive force V1 (first induced current) generated in the power generation coil 47 causes The capacitor 54 is charged and discharged through the diode group 53, and the wavelength of the current based on the first electromotive force V1 applied to the electromotive force line 55 is slightly increased. The current whose wavelength has been increased is supplied from the power line 56 to the rectifier circuit 57 and converted into direct current, and direct current power is supplied to the power input portions of the signal processing circuit 58 and the transmission circuit 59. At the same time, DC power is also supplied to the detection member 45 provided with a magnetic sensor or the like.

  An ON signal line 64 is drawn out from one end 51 of the winding of the power generation coil 47. A diode 61 is provided on the ON signal line 64 to pass a current based on the first electromotive force V1. When any one of the operation members 27 is operated to generate the first electromotive force V1, the current passing through the diode 61 flows to the resistor R1, and an ON signal based on the voltage value set by the resistor R1 is generated by the signal processing device 58. To the ON input section 58a.

  The signal processing circuit 58 recognizes that the operation member 27 has been operated when an ON signal is given to the ON input section 58a. Furthermore, since the detection signal from the detection member 45 activated by the first electromotive force V1 is given, it is possible to recognize which operation member 27 has been operated.

  When the operating force F to the operating member 27 is removed and the rotating member 30 returns from the switching posture shown in FIG. 4B to the initial posture shown in FIG. 4A, the diode group 53 is generated by the second electromotive force V2. Then, the capacitor 54 is charged and further discharged, the wavelength of the current is increased, and this current is supplied from the power line 56 to the rectifier circuit 57 to generate a direct current. Then, as in the case of the first electromotive force V1, DC power is supplied to the power input portions of the signal processing circuit 58 and the transmission circuit 59.

  However, when the rotating member 30 returns from the posture shown in FIG. 4B to the initial posture shown in FIG. 4A, the current based on the second electromotive force V2 is supplied from the other end 52 of the winding of the power generating coil 47. Is applied to the diode 63 via the OFF signal line 62. Then, an OFF signal having a voltage value determined by the resistor R <b> 2 is input to the OFF input unit 58 b of the signal processing circuit 58. As a result, the signal processing circuit 58 recognizes that the operating force F applied to the operating member 27 has been released.

  The signal processing circuit 58 can be operated by being supplied with the first electromotive force V1 or the second electromotive force V2. In the signal processing circuit 58, an operation signal is obtained when an ON signal with the operation member 27 pressed is obtained. Is generated. Further, it is possible to identify which operation member 27 is operated by referring to the detection output from the detection member 45 activated by the first electromotive force V1. Therefore, different operation signals are generated when the right operation member 27 is pressed and when the left operation member 27 is pressed. However, when the operation force F is released, the same release signal is generated regardless of which operation member has been pressed.

  The two types of operation signals and one type of release signal are given to the data input unit of the transmission circuit 59 that operates with the first electromotive force V1 or the second electromotive force V2, and are externally transmitted by RF transmission or infrared transmission. A signal is transmitted to the circuit.

It moves to the upper end part of the switching cam 23 formed in 20. At this time, in the power generation unit 120, the rotating member 30 is in the initial posture shown in FIG.

  FIG. 9 shows an operation state in which the first operation member 127 a located at the center of the support base 111 is pushed downward by the operation force F. At this time, the unit case 121 and the power generation unit 120 are lowered together with the first operation member 127a. Since the switching member 20 is pressed against the inner end 131a of the swing transmission mechanism 131 together with the second operation member 127b, the power generation unit 120 is lowered without the switching member 20 moving. At this time, the follower projection 36 provided on the rotating member 30 moves downward in the switching cam 23 formed on the switching member 20, and the rotating member 30 is counterclockwise from the initial posture shown in FIG. To turn.

  When the operating force F on the first operating member 127 a is released, the unit case 121 and the power generation unit 120 are moved together by the biasing force of the compression coil spring provided between the ceiling inner surface 121 b of the unit case 121 and the switching member 20. The first operating member 127a returns to its original position, and the rotating member 30 also returns to the initial posture shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the first operating member 127a is in the initial posture, the first magnetizing member 32 of the rotating member 30 faces the opposing end face 42 of the magnetic path forming member 40, and the second magnetizing member 33 is It faces the other facing end face 41. When the first operating member 127a is pushed and the rotating member 30 rotates counterclockwise to the switching position, the first magnetizing member 32 faces the facing end surface 41 and the second magnetizing member 33 faces the facing end surface. 42. The first electromotive force V1 shown in FIG. 6 is generated by the change in the magnetic flux flowing in the magnetic path forming member 40 at this time.

  When the operating force F applied to the first operating member 127 a is released, the rotating member 30 returns to the initial posture shown in FIG. 12, and at this time, the second electromotive force V <b> 2 is generated by the power generation coil 47.

  FIG. 10 shows a state in which the operating force F is obtained in one of the six other operating members 127c. The operating force F is applied to the swing transmission mechanism 131 via the detection member 45, the swing transmission mechanism 131 swings, and the switching member 20 is lifted upward via the second operation member 127b. Since the switching member 20 is lifted without the power generation unit 120 moving, the rotation member 30 is rotated counterclockwise from the initial posture shown in FIG. Therefore, the first electromotive force V1 shown in FIG.

  Since the swing transmission mechanism 131 is provided with the return spring 132, when the operation force F with respect to the other operation member 127c is removed, the swing transmission mechanism 131 returns to the initial state shown in FIGS. Return to position. At this time, since the switching member 20 is lowered, the rotation member 30 is returned to the initial posture shown in FIG. 12 by the switching cam 23, and the second electromotive force V2 shown in FIG.

  As described above, the power generation operation of the power generation unit 120 is the same when the first operation member 127a is pressed and when any of the other operation members 127c is pressed. In the circuit shown in FIG. 5, an ON signal is supplied to the ON input portion 58a of the signal processing circuit 58 both when the first operating member 127a is pressed and when any of the other operating members 127c is pressed. Is given. Further, when the operating force F applied to the first operating member 127a and the other operating member 127c is released, an OFF signal is given to the OFF input unit 58b of the signal processing circuit 58 in any case.

  In the power generation input device 101 shown in FIG. 7 and subsequent figures, since a detection member 45 such as a tactile switch is provided below all other operation members 127c, a plurality of other operation members are detected by a detection signal of the detection member 45. It can be identified which of the 127c has been operated. The first operation member 127a is not provided with the detection member 45. Therefore, the signal processing circuit 58 activated by the first electromotive force V1 can know which of the other operation members 127c has been operated by receiving the signal of the detection member 45. Furthermore, when the signal of the detection member 45 is not detected when the ON signal is received, it can be recognized that the first operation member 127a has been operated. Therefore, the signal processing circuit 58 can generate an operation signal corresponding to the operated operation member.

  Further, when the operating force F applied to the first operating member 127a is released and the operating force F applied to the other operating member 127c is released, a second electromotive force V2 is generated, and the signal processing circuit 58 is turned off. When a signal is input, the same release signal is always generated.

  In the second embodiment, the second operation member 127b located on the lower side may be configured to be pushed upward with a finger.
