 また、上記遠隔制御装置100では、動力伝達手段4として、操作ボタン2の押圧によって直線移動するように設けられた移動部材5と、該移動部材5に連結されて該ラック5の直線移動を回転動作に変換して発電機10のロータ軸11に伝達する複数の歯車群8とを具備している。したがって、操作ボタン2の押圧による移動部材5の直線移動により歯車群8が回転するとともに、該歯車群8の回転力が発電機10にロータ軸11に伝達され、これによって発電機10での発電が行われることになる。すなわち、動力伝達手段4により、操作ボタン2から発電機10への安定した動力伝達を行うことができる。 In the remote control device 100, as the power transmission means 4, a moving member 5 provided to move linearly by pressing the operation button 2 and a linear movement of the rack 5 connected to the moving member 5 are rotated. A plurality of gear groups 8 that convert to operation and transmit to the rotor shaft 11 of the generator 10 are provided. Accordingly, the gear group 8 is rotated by the linear movement of the moving member 5 due to the pressing of the operation button 2, and the rotational force of the gear group 8 is transmitted to the rotor shaft 11 to the generator 10, thereby generating power in the generator 10. Will be done. That is, stable power transmission from the operation button 2 to the generator 10 can be performed by the power transmission means 4.
 また、上記遠隔制御装置100では、動力伝達手段4の移動部材5として、歯車群8の一部として設けられたピニオン7に噛合するラック5Aを設けることで、操作ボタン2の押圧による移動部材5の直線移動を、歯車6A~6Dの回転運動に円滑に転換することが可能となる。 In the remote control device 100, the moving member 5 of the power transmission unit 4 is provided with a rack 5 </ b> A that meshes with the pinion 7 provided as a part of the gear group 8, thereby moving the moving member 5 by pressing the operation button 2. It is possible to smoothly convert the linear movement to the rotational movement of the gears 6A to 6D.
 また、上記遠隔制御装置100では、動力伝達手段4は、移動部材5の直線移動により、発電機10のロータ軸11を高速回転させるように歯車6A~6D及びピニオン7のギア比が設定されているので、該発電機10のロータ軸11が高速回転することで、該発電機10にて所望の電力を発生させることができる。その結果、該発電機10で発生した電力により、信号出力回路12から被操作対象への円滑な制御信号Sの発信が可能である。 In the remote control device 100, the gear ratio of the gears 6A to 6D and the pinion 7 is set so that the power transmission means 4 rotates the rotor shaft 11 of the generator 10 at a high speed by the linear movement of the moving member 5. Therefore, desired power can be generated by the generator 10 by rotating the rotor shaft 11 of the generator 10 at a high speed. As a result, the control signal S can be smoothly transmitted from the signal output circuit 12 to the operation target by the electric power generated by the generator 10.
 なお、上記実施の形態に示される遠隔制御装置100では、操作ボタン2毎に、動力伝達手段4、発電機10、信号出力回路12を設けても良いし、また、操作ボタン2毎に動力伝達手段4、発電機10、信号出力回路12を設けることなく、全操作ボタン2に対して、動力伝達手段4、発電機10、信号出力回路12を共用しても良い。この場合、各操作ボタン2に対して、動力伝達手段4のラック5A、ピニオン7をそれぞれ設け、かつこれら各ラック5A、ピニオン7に伝達された動力を、発電機10にそれぞれ伝達するための歯車群を設けることで、発電機10を作動させ、信号出力手段12から制御信号Sを発信させるようにする。その際、いずれの操作ボタン2から押されたかを信号出力手段12に認識させ、かつ該操作ボタン2に対応した制御信号Sが出力できるように、別途、操作ボタン12の検知手段を設けるようにすると良い。 In the remote control device 100 shown in the above embodiment, the power transmission means 4, the generator 10, and the signal output circuit 12 may be provided for each operation button 2, and the power transmission is performed for each operation button 2. The power transmission means 4, the generator 10, and the signal output circuit 12 may be shared for all the operation buttons 2 without providing the means 4, the generator 10, and the signal output circuit 12. In this case, a rack 5A and a pinion 7 of the power transmission means 4 are provided for each operation button 2, and gears for transmitting the power transmitted to the rack 5A and the pinion 7 to the generator 10 respectively. By providing the group, the generator 10 is operated, and the control signal S is transmitted from the signal output means 12. At this time, a detection means for the operation button 12 is separately provided so that the signal output means 12 can recognize which operation button 2 has been pressed and a control signal S corresponding to the operation button 2 can be output. Good.
