Description

Multi-directional tact switch

The present invention relates to a multi-directional switch for outputting signals in all directions according to operations such as front, rear, left and right, and more specifically, a four-way signal for tilting the front, rear, left and right and a one-way signal according to the push operation. It relates to a multi-directional tact switch (output switch).

With the development of semiconductor technology, electronic products are becoming smaller and lighter, and mobile phones are the most reflecting this trend. Early models of the cell phone were large and heavy enough to be uncomfortable to carry in the pocket, but the current model is very small and very light enough to fit in the pocket. This is possible because each component of the mobile phone is integrated and miniaturized, and light weight material is used. The switch for moving the cursor in the mobile phone is also no exception, and the cursor operation switch is also miniaturized and lightweight.

In the early mobile phones, the cursor control switch consists of at least five individual tact switches including up key (↑), down key (↓), left hand key (←), right hand key (→), and enter key. It was. However, the five tact switches occupy much space in the mobile phone. Therefore, in order to miniaturize a mobile phone, the related industry has developed a multidirectional tact switch in which the five switches are integrated into one. 1 is a perspective view showing a conventional general multi-directional tact switch.

Referring to Fig. 1, the conventional multidirectional tact switch is largely composed of a knob 1 and a switch body 10. The switch body 10 includes a case 3 and a cover 5 covering the upper portion of the case 3 and supporting the knob 1 at the center thereof. Four fastening protrusions 7 are formed on the upper part of the case 3 to fix the cover 5 to the case 3. When assembling the switch body 10, other components are mounted in the case 3, and the cover 5 is finally inserted into the fastening protrusion 7 formed in the case 3 to complete the switch body.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the internal structure of the multi-directional tact switch of FIG. 1 in detail. FIG. Referring to FIG. 2, the inner bottom of the case 3 has fixed contacts 9 at the front, rear, right and left sides, and a small cylindrical fastening protrusion 7 is formed at the outer edge of the case 3. have. In the upper portion of the fixed contact 9, a dome-shaped movable contact 11 is configured for each fixed contact 9 separately. A cross (+) shaped piece extends in four directions at a lower portion of the knob 1, and a pressing protrusion 13 is formed at the bottom of each piece. In addition, a pressing protrusion 13 having a shape similar to that of the pressing protrusion 13 is formed directly under the knob 1. The cover 5 has a plate shape and a fastening groove 15 is configured to be fastened to the fastening protrusion 7 of the case 3 at the corners of the four corners.

3 is a front view briefly showing the state of the knob and the respective contacts 9 and 11 when the knob 1 is operated to the left. Referring to FIG. 3, when no external force is applied to the knob 1, the knob 1 is placed on the movable contact 11 in the center to maintain the vertical state as shown in FIG. 3A. However, when the force is applied to the knob 1 and operated to the left as shown in Fig. 3B, the knob 1 is inclined to the left at a predetermined angle. Accordingly, the left side of the pressing protrusion 13 which is perpendicular to the knob 1 is also inclined. The pressing protrusion 13 is inclined to the left side to press the movable contact 11 on the left side, and the movable contact 11 is pressed to come into contact with the center fixed contact 9a.

The movable contact 11 has a slight elasticity in a dome shape and is pressed and contracted when the pressing protrusion 13 presses the movable contact 11. When the external force disappears, the contraction of the movable contact 11 returns to the initial state, and a feeling of click occurs.

Since the movable contact 11 is a conductor, when the movable contact 11 comes into contact with the central fixed contact 9a, the external fixed contact 9b, 9c and the central fixed contact 9a are located at the movable contact 11. It is electrically connected through. Thus, the fixed contact 9 is turned on.

The pressing protrusion 13 and the movable contact 11 are operated in the same manner in the same manner as in the left side as well as the right and the front and rear directions as shown in FIG. 3 to turn on the fixed contact 9.

On the other hand, when the knob 1 is pressed in the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 3C, the pressing protrusion 13 at the lower portion of the knob 1 presses the movable contact 11 at the center thereof, and thus the movable contact 11. As it is pressed, it comes into contact with the central contact 9a of the fixed contact 9. Since the movable contact 11 is conductive, the external fixed contacts 9b and 9c and the central fixed contact 9a are electrically connected through the movable contact 11 so that the central fixed contact 9a is turned on. do.

When the knob 1 is operated in five directions in this manner, the corresponding fixed contact 9 can be turned on, thereby serving as a multidirectional tact switch.

However, the conventional multi-directional tact switch described above has a movable contact 11 in all directions, and thus there is a problem in that the user feels distrust in operation because the click feeling is different for each direction.

The multi-directional tact switch of Fig. 1 is a five-way tact switch and thus has five movable contacts 11. The five movable contacts 11 cannot be identical in characteristics even if they are molded from the same material in the same factory. In other words, the elasticity is different. Therefore, the feeling of click cannot be the same in all five directions, and thus, the user may be in doubt about whether the operation is surely performed in the direction in which the feeling of click is different, thereby causing anxiety of the operation.

In addition, the conventional multi-directional tact switch has a problem that the movable contact 11 is configured in each direction to occupy a lot of space.

The multi-directional tact switch of FIG. 1 supports five directions of operation and thus has five movable contacts 11. Therefore, the case 3 should be large enough to accommodate all the five movable contacts 11, and the assembly process is difficult due to the large number of parts, which takes a long assembly time, which is a factor of cost increase.

Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a multi-directional tact switch that provides the same click feeling in each direction when operating the knob and improves the structure of the movable contact and the fixed contact so as to minimize the space occupied when mounting the knob. The purpose.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of a multi-directional tact switch according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 is an exploded perspective view of the multi-directional tact switch of FIG. 6 is a plan view of the multidirectional tact switch of FIG.

Referring to Fig. 4, the multi-directional tact switch is composed of a knob 31 and a switch main body 30, and the switch main body 30 has a signal for tilt operation of the knob 31 to the outside. A case 37 having a tilt terminal 33 to be output and a push terminal 35 to which a signal of a push operation of the knob 31 is output is coupled to the case 37, and the knob 31 is coupled to an upper portion of the case 37. The cover 39 etc. which are supported in the center are comprised. The case 37 and the cover 39 are coupled by fastening protrusions 41 protruding on both sides of the case 37, and a common terminal 43 is formed at one side of the cover 39.

Referring to FIG. 5, the switch body 30 includes a rectangular parallelepiped case 37 having an upper portion, six terminals 33 and 35 formed at both sides of an outer bottom surface of the case 37, and the case. Tilt fixed contact 45 of a right triangle located at four inner corners of the upper side of 37 and located at the bottom of the case 37 lower than the tilt fixed contact 45 and having a central circular contact 47a and the circular shape. Push fixed contact point 47 is composed of a rectangular contact point (47b, 47c) formed on both sides of the contact (47a), and fastening protrusions (41) which are protruded on both sides of the case 37 and coupled to the cover 39, An edge portion of the plate spring-shaped movable contact 49 formed on the circular contact 47a of the push-fixed contact, and the upper portion of the tilt-fixed contact 45 with an edge contacting the rectangular contact 47b, 47c of the push-fixed contact. It is composed of a tilt movable contact 51 and the like. In addition, the knob 31 has a rectangular pillar shape, and four tilt movable contacts 51 are formed below the knob 31 at right angles to the knob 31. The tilt movable contact 51 is formed by bending the V-shape by vertically extending the end of the piece in the mandrel shape in four directions with the knob 31 as the center. In addition, a pressing protrusion 53 for pressing the movable contact 49 is formed directly below the knob 31.

Six terminals configured on the outside of the case 37 are configured on three sides of the case 37 as shown in FIG. 6, and two terminals 35a and 35b at the center of the six terminals are connected to the knob 31. The push terminal 35 outputs a signal during push operation, and the remaining four terminals 33a, 33b, 33c, 33d are tilt terminals 33 for outputting a signal during tilt operation of the knob 31. 7 shows a mechanical connection structure between the terminals 33 and 35 and the fixed contacts 45 on a plane. Referring to FIG. 7, four tilt fixed contacts 45a, 45b, 45c, and 45d respectively formed at the square corners of the case 37 are connected to an adjacent tilt terminal 33 by a conductor, and a circle of the center push fixed contacts is used. The contact 47a is connected to one push terminal 35a by a conductor, and the quadrangular contacts 47b and 47c of the push fixed contact point are connected to the other push terminal 35b by a conductor.

8 shows a state in which the knob 31 and the switch body 30 are assembled. In a state where no external force is applied to the knob, as shown in FIG. 8A, the edge portion of the movable contact 49 is in contact with the square fixed contacts 47b and 47c at the bottom of the case 37, and the center portion of the movable contact 49 is the case ( 37) It is located in the upper part of the circular fixed contact point 47a of the bottom center. The tilt movable contact 51 is spaced apart from the tilt fixed contact 45 located at a lower portion of the tilt movable contact 51 and spaced apart from the cover 39 at an upper portion thereof.

The movable contact 49 is configured to energize the push fixed contact point 47 formed at the center of the case 37 when the knob 31 is pushed, and is configured in a leaf spring shape to have elastic force. In addition, the movable contact 49 has a size considerably larger than that of the pressurizing protrusion 53 configured at the lower portion of the knob 31, and thus, the pressurizing protrusion 53 is operated every time the knob 31 is operated. When the contact 49 is pressed and the movable contact 49 is pressed, the pressurized portion is contracted.

The conventional movable contact 11 is configured in five in each direction as shown in FIG. However, the movable contact 49 according to the present embodiment is configured with only one movable contact for the push direction operation to provide a click feeling for the operation in all directions. The movable contact 51 for the front, rear, left and right operation except for the push direction will be described later in detail, and is composed of a V-bending piece.

When the knob 31 is pushed downward in the state as shown in FIG. 8A, the movable contact 49 is contracted by the pressurizing protrusion 53 as shown in FIG. 8B, and the contracted pressurized portion is a circular fixed contact ( 47a). Since the movable contact 49 is conductive, the pressing portions contact the circular fixed contacts 47a to electrically connect the rectangular fixed contacts 47b and 47c to the circular fixed contacts 47a. That is, the rectangular fixed contacts 47b and 47c are energized with the circular fixed contact 47a through the movable contact 49. Accordingly, the first push terminal 35a connected to the circular fixed contact 47a and the second push terminal 35b connected to the rectangular fixed contacts 47b and 47c are energized with each other. When the external force acting during the push operation of the knob 31 is removed, the movable contact 49 is returned to the initial state as shown in FIG. 8A because of its elastic force, and a click feeling is generated accordingly. Again, it returns slightly to the initial state as shown in FIG. 8A.

The movable contact 49 conducts the fixed contact 47 at the center so that both push terminals 35a and 35b formed on the outside of the case 37 are turned on so that the knob 31 switches once for the downward operation. As a result, the multi-directional tact switch performs the role of switch for the user's downward operation.

Next, the tilt fixed contact point 45 is configured at four corners of the case 37 as a fixed contact point that can be energized when the knob 31 is tilted. Unlike the conventional fixed contact 9 of the multi-directional tact switch, which is composed of two rectangular contact points and a circular contact point in each direction, and eight four directions are configured in all directions, the tilt fixed contact point 45 is 1 for each direction. Only three contacts are configured. The tilt fixed contact 45 is supported by the lower jaw and is configured to be slightly higher than the push fixed contact 47. The jaw supporting the tilt fixed contact 45 seats the movable spring 49 of the leaf spring type located at the center of the case 37.

Next, the tilt movable contact 51 is a configuration for conducting the tilt fixed contact 45 for each direction during the tilting operation of the knob 31 in the front, rear, left and right four directions, the V bending bent vertically continuous It consists of sides. The V-bending piece is formed in a jagged piece is connected to the knob 31, the V-bending piece is configured in four directions with different directions.

The tilt movable contact 51 is located above the tilt fixed contact 45 as shown in FIG. 8A. In this state, when the knob 31 is operated to the left as shown in Fig. 8C, the knob 31 is inclined to the left and the one side 51a, 51d of the tilt movable contact assembled to the knob 31 is inclined to the left. . Then, the pressing protrusion 53 under the knob 31 presses the dome-shaped movable contact 49 so that the movable contact 49 is contracted. As one side 51a, 51d of the tilt movable contact is inclined to the left side, one side 51a, 51d of the tilt movable contact is lowered and the other side 51b, 51c of the tilt movable contact is raised. The first tilt movable contact 51a of the lowered tilt movable contact comes into contact with the first tilt fixed contact 45a, and the fourth tilt movable contact 51d of the lowered tilt movable contact 45d is the fourth tilt fixed contact 45d. Contact with On the other hand, the second tilt movable contact 51b and the third tilt movable contact 51c which are raised tilt movable contacts come into contact with the lower surface of the cover 39, and are fixed in the center at the center of the movable contact 49 by pressing. The contact 47a and the square fixed contacts 47b and 47c are electrically connected through the movable contact 49.

Since the four tilt movable contacts 51a, 51b, 51c, and 51d are composed of a single conductor, they can be connected to each other. That is, the first tilt movable contact 51a is connected to not only the fourth tilt movable contact 51d but also the second tilt movable contact 51b and the third tilt movable contact 51c. The first tilt movable contact 51a and the fourth tilt movable contact 51d are electrically connected to each other, the first tilt movable contact 51a is connected to the first tilt fixed contact 45a, and a fourth Since the tilt movable contact 51d is connected to the fourth tilt fixed contact 45d, the first tilt fixed contact 45a and the fourth tilt fixed contact 45d are conductive. Since the first tilt fixed contact 45a is connected to the first tilt terminal 33a and the fourth tilt fixed contact 45d is connected to the fourth tilt terminal 33d, as a result, the first tilt terminal 33a and the fourth tilt terminal 33d are electrically connected to each other. In addition, since the movable contact 49 connects the circular fixed contact 47a and the square fixed contact 47b and 47c with each other, the first push terminal 35a and the second push terminal 35b are electrically connected to each other.

Meanwhile, the first tilt movable contact 51a and the second tilt movable contact 51b are connected, and the second tilt movable contact 51b is connected to the cover 39, and one side of the cover 39 is provided. The common terminal 43 is connected to the first tilt movable contact 51a and the common terminal 43. Since the first tilt movable contact 51a is connected to the first tilt terminal 33a and the fourth tilt terminal 33d, the common terminal 43, the first tilt terminal 33a, and the fourth tilt terminal are thus connected. 33d is electrically connected.

In summary, as the knob 31 is operated to the left side, the first tilt terminal 33a, the fourth tilt terminal 33d, and the common terminal 43 are electrically connected to each other, and the first push terminal 35a and the second terminal 33 are electrically connected to each other. The push terminal 35b is electrically connected.

On the other hand, when the knob 31 is tilted to the right as shown in Fig. 8D, the first tilt movable contact 51a and the fourth tilt movable contact 51d positioned on the left side of the knob 31 are raised to raise the cover 39. In contact with the lower surface, the second tilt movable contact 51b and the third tilt movable contact 51c located on the right side of the knob 31 are lowered so that the second tilt movable contact 51b is the second tilt fixed contact 45b. ), The third tilt movable contact 51c is in contact with the third tilt fixed contact 45c. In addition, the movable contact 49 in the center is pressurized by the pressing protrusion 53 so that the pressurized portion contacts the circular fixed contact 47a to connect the central fixed contacts 47b and 47c to the circular fixed contact 47a. . Accordingly, the second tilt terminal 33b connected to the second tilt fixed contact 45b and the third tilt terminal 33c connected to the third tilt fixed contact 45c are electrically connected to each other, and the first tilt movable contact 51a is connected thereto. And the common terminal 43 through the cover 39. The first push terminal 35a and the second push terminal 35b are connected to each other.

In summary, when the knob 31 is operated to the right, the second tilt terminal 33b, the third tilt terminal 33c, and the common terminal 43 are connected, and the first push terminal 35a and the second push terminal are connected. 35b is connected.

When the knob 31 is operated to the front in this manner, the first tilt terminal 33a, the second tilt terminal 33b, and the common terminal 43 are connected, and the first push terminal 35a and the second push are connected. The terminal 35b is connected. When the knob 31 is operated to the rear side, the third tilt terminal 33c, the fourth tilt terminal 33d, and the common terminal 43 are connected, and the first push terminal 35a and the second push terminal 35b are connected to each other. Is connected.

This multi-directional tact switch is represented by an electric symbol as shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is for better understanding of FIG. 9 and shows each operation direction of the tact switch in the state as shown in FIG. 6.

In FIG. 9, a denotes a first tilt terminal 33a, b denotes a first push terminal 35a, c denotes a second tilt terminal 33b, and d denotes a third tilt terminal ( 33c), e denotes the second push terminal 35b, and f denotes the fourth tilt terminal 33d. And FIG. 9A is when the knob 31 is operated to the left as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 9B is when the knob is operated to the right as shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 9C is when the front is operated, and FIG. 9D is when it is operated to the rear, Fig. 9E shows the time of push operation. By operating in this manner, the multi-directional tact switch also performs a switch role in the front, rear, left and right directions.

Referring to FIG. 9, when a signal is input to the common terminal 43 using the common terminal 43 as an input terminal, two output signals can be obtained for one input signal. When the two output signals are ANDed and the output is used as an output signal for the one input signal, there is an advantage of minimizing malfunction of the switch.

As can be seen from Figs. 8 and 9, in this embodiment, the movable contact 49 gives a feeling of clicking for all directions of the knob 31 and connects the two push terminals 35a and 35b for each operation. It is composed. Therefore, compared with the multidirectional tact switch composed of five conventional movable contacts 11, there is an advantage that the space is reduced and the same click feeling is given. When the movable contact 49 is configured, it is preferable that the movable contact 49 be configured to be considerably larger than the pressurizing protrusion 53 so as to give a feeling of clicking for all directions of the knob 31.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the tilt movable contact 51 is formed in four directions in a four-way direction, unlike the conventional one, and is formed in a stripe shape that is similar to the shape of a dome, and the end of the stripe piece is formed by v-bending. . The reason why the shape is formed in the shape of a flat stripe is to improve the workability of the tilt movable contact 51 and give elasticity to secure the contact with the tilt fixed contact 45. Therefore, it is also possible to comprise the tiltable movable contact 51 in the shape of the elongate shape of the X-shape (X) shape rather than a full-body without following this embodiment.

The reason why the end portion is formed in the shape of the V-bending piece is to protrude the contact portion in contact with the tilt fixed contact point 45 to secure the contact and improve the workability. Therefore, it is also possible not to follow this embodiment, but to make the end of the said jagged piece into a shape other than a V shape. For example, it is also possible to configure the projections like the pressing projections 53 at the lower side of the pyeonyok jil.

As described above, the multi-directional tact switch according to the present invention constitutes a single dome-shaped movable contact 39 under the knob 31 and the tilt movable contact 51 in four directions perpendicular to the knob 31. It was configured. Therefore, this multi-directional tact switch can give the same click feeling to all operations of the knob 31 and has the advantage of being smaller in size than in the prior art. This multi-directional tact switch is very useful for use in all electric and electronic devices as well as portable devices that are in urgent need for miniaturization.
