However, the electrostatic capacity member in this type of electronic pen is required to be provided with a resonance circuit mechanism having a structure capable of responding to writing pressure with as high accuracy as possible in a narrow pen-shaped housing. Is still insufficient in that the frequency variable range cannot be adjusted with sufficient accuracy.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such points, and an object of the present invention is to propose an electronic pen capable of adjusting the writing pressure detection range with the simplest possible configuration.

In order to solve such a problem, in the present invention, an electronic pen 1 having a pen-shaped casing 2 that obtains electronic transmission information generated therein by pressing the pen tip member 3 against the pressing target Q1, When the pen tip member 3 is pressed against the pressing target Q1, the pressing shaft member 25 that slides along the central axis L1 from the front to the rear in the housing 2 together with the pen tip member 3, and the pressing shaft member on the central axis L1 25, and a writing pressure detection terminal member 35 disposed between the resonance operation dielectric 30, the pressing shaft member 25, and the front end face 30 A of the resonance operation dielectric 30. The writing pressure detection terminal member 35 has a spiral protrusion 35B spirally wound forward from an abutting surface portion 35A that abuts on the resonance operation dielectric 30, and the pressing shaft member 25 is the pen tip member 3. Against Q1 When the helical protrusion 35B is compressed and deformed by sliding backward based on the contact operation, the capacitance value changes between the writing pressure detection terminal member 35 and the resonance operation dielectric 30. Based on this, a writing pressure detection output is obtained.

According to the present invention, when the pen tip member is pressed against the pressing target, the writing pressure detecting terminal member that is compressed and changed by the pressing shaft member that slides backward is provided on the front end surface of the resonance operation dielectric. Thus, a change in writing pressure can be detected with high accuracy as a change in capacitance value between the writing pressure detecting terminal member and the resonant action dielectric.

FIG. 10 is a schematic block diagram illustrating an information processing system using the electronic pen of FIG. 9.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(1) First Embodiment In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an electronic pen as a whole. As shown in FIG. 1A, for example, a pen-shaped housing made of a nonmagnetic material such as a synthetic resin material. The pen tip member 3 made of a nonmagnetic material is projected from the tip of the body 2.

Thus, as shown in FIG. 1B, the electronic pen 1 is placed on the display surface Q5 of the tablet display board portion Q1 to which the user holds the pen tip member 3 while holding the housing 2 of the electronic pen 1 in his / her hand. By pressing, the coordinate position on the display surface Q5 can be designated.

In the case of this embodiment, the electronic pen 1 is configured such that the tablet display board unit Q1 exchanges exchange information Q3 with the central processing unit Q2, and the information processing system Q4 executes information processing. When the electronic pen 1 is pressed against the display surface Q5 of the display panel Q1, the X-axis loop coils X1, X2... XN representing the XY coordinates of the display surface Q5 and the Y-axis loop coils Y1, Y2. By designating the intersection position coordinates of YM, the XY coordinate designation information by the user can be supplied as exchange information Q3 from the X axis control unit Q6 and the Y axis control unit Q7 to the central processing unit Q2.

Thus, the central processing unit Q2 reads the coordinate position designated by the user and the writing pressure information on the display surface Q5 of the electronic pen 1, and executes information processing according to the user's designation.

As shown in FIG. 2, the pen tip member 3 is coupled via a pressing shaft 12 to a resonance circuit mechanism portion 11 disposed in the front end portion 2 A of the housing 2.

In the case of this embodiment, the pressing shaft 12 is a rod having a circular cross section made of a nonmagnetic material, and is formed in an opening hole 13 formed at the tip of the housing 2 along the central axis L1 of the housing 2. The advancing / retreating operation of the pen tip member 3 arranged is transmitted to the resonance circuit mechanism unit 11.

The housing 2 includes a cylindrical outer case 14 extending on the central axis L1 and an inner case 15 provided concentrically on the central axis L1 on the inner side. A resonant operation coil member 23 is provided as an inductive resonant element between

annular partition walls

21 and 22 provided so as to face each other in the front-rear direction while allowing the pressing shaft 12 to slidably pass between the tip portions. It is stuck.

A pressing slider 24 is fixed to the rear end portion of the pressing shaft 12 protruding rearward from the partition wall 22 of the inner case 15, and a pressing shaft member 25 protruding rearward from the pressing slider 24 is formed in the inner case 15. An annular support member 26 is supported so as to be slidable in the front-rear direction.

A pressing adjustment nut 26A is screwed onto the pressing shaft member 25, a pressing spring 27 is held between the pressing adjustment nut 26A and the support member 26, and the pressing spring 27 is adjusted by the screwing position of the pressing adjustment nut 26A. Due to the elastic force, the pressure adjusting nut 26 A, and hence the pressure slider 24, is positioned so as to be pressed against the partition wall 22.

Thus, the pressing shaft 12 is pressed against the display surface Q5 of the tablet display plate part Q1 to which the pen tip member 3 is pressed, by the elastic force of the pressing spring 27, whereby the user presses the pen tip member 3. When pressed against the object to be pressed with an arbitrary writing pressure, the pressing shaft member 25 slides backward against the pressing spring 27 through the pressing shaft 12 by a sliding amount corresponding to the writing pressure. Has been made.

A dielectric support member 28 is fitted into the outer case 14 from the rear at a rear position facing the support member 26, and a resonant operation dielectric 30 is held between the support member 26 and the derivative support member 28 as a capacitive resonance element. Has been.

The resonance operation dielectric 30 generates resonance energy in the electronic pen 1 together with the resonance operation coil member 23. As shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the resonance operation dielectric 30 is made of a disk-shaped dielectric material. Then, the capacitance adjusting electrode 32 shown in FIG. 6 is disposed on the dielectric portion supporting member 28 side of the resonance operation dielectric 30 so that the front end surface 32A faces the rear end surface 30B of the resonance operation dielectric 30. The capacitance adjusting electrode 32 is electrically led out behind the dielectric support member 28 by the output terminal member 34 via the output lead-out electrode 33 provided so as to be in contact with the rear end face 32C. .

On the other hand, a pen pressure detection terminal member 35 is provided between the front end face 30A of the resonance operation dielectric 30 and the rear end face of the pressing shaft member 25. When the pen tip member 3, the pressing shaft 12, and the pressing slider 24 slide backward, the rear end surface of the pressing shaft member 25 presses the writing pressure detection terminal member 35 against the front end surface 30 A of the resonance operation dielectric 30. Behaves properly.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the writing pressure detection terminal member 35 is led out electrically behind the dielectric support member 28 via the output terminal member 36, and thus the output terminal member. 36, together with the output terminal member 34 of the output derivation electrode 33, the electrical output corresponding to the electrostatic capacitance value formed by the dielectric 30 for resonance operation is used as the output signal of the resonance circuit mechanism section 11, and the rear end of the housing 2 2B is supplied to the electric signal processing unit 40 formed inside 2B.

The electric signal processing unit 40 is constituted by an electric signal processing substrate, and a central processing unit 41 having a microcomputer configuration having a signal processing function is provided on the processing substrate.

The pen pressure detection terminal member 35 (FIGS. 3A and 3B) abuts a flexible wire made of an elastic conductive metal material having a square cross section on the resonance operation dielectric 30 on the rear end side. A spiral projecting portion 35B is formed by bending the contact surface portion 35A into a spiral shape so as to project forward from the center axis L1 of the housing 2 as a center.

The front projecting end 35C of the spiral projecting portion 35B faces the rear end surface of the pressing shaft member 25, whereby the pressing shaft member 25 slides rearward on the central axis L1, and the rear end surface is a front projecting end. When the portion 35C is pressed rearward, the helical protrusion 35B is compressed and deformed rearward against its elastic force with reference to the contact surface portion 35A contacting the front end surface 30A of the resonant operation dielectric 30. Go.

At this time, the contact area of each part of the spiral projecting portion 35B with the front end face 30A of the resonance operation dielectric 30 gradually increases so that the spiral projecting portion 35B made of the conductive material and the resonance operation use for the resonance operation. The capacitance of the dielectric 30 changes so as to increase in accordance with the deformation of the spiral protrusion 35B.

Here, the capacitance in the case of a configuration such as the spiral protrusion 35B and the resonant operation dielectric 30 is generally expressed by the following equation:

...... (1)

Can be expressed as

As a result, the capacitance changes in proportion to the change in the contact area with respect to the front end face 30A of the resonance operation dielectric 30 caused by the deformation of the spiral protrusion 35B (this is referred to as “capacitance of the capacitance by the spiral electrode”). Called "change").

Such “change in electrostatic capacitance due to the spiral electrode” can be confirmed by the method described below.

The spiral protrusion 35B generally has a characteristic as a conical coil spring, and the deflection δ due to the load F (“writing pressure” in this embodiment) has an F-δ characteristic as shown in FIG. .

That is, as shown in FIG. 4 (A), the load F with respect to the forward projecting end portion 35C of the spiral projecting portion 35B as a conical coil spring is normalized, as shown in FIG. ,..., 1 is changed, the deflection δ changes like a log waveform as 0.447214, 0.632456,.

If the contact area S is obtained from the deflection δ exhibiting such a change, as shown in FIG. 4B, when the deflection δ is changed from 0 to 0.2, 0.4,. The contact area S changes, such as 0, 0.447214, 0.632456,..., Such that the same change as the change in the load F-deflection δ in FIG.

Therefore, if the relationship of deflection δ−contact area S shown in FIG. 4 (B) is applied to the change in load F−deflection δ in FIG. 4 (A), the change in load F−contact area S is shown in FIG. ), When the load F is changed from 0 to 0.1, 0.2,..., The contact area S is 0, 0.562341, 0.66874,. As shown in FIG. 4C, the change in the log waveform shown in FIG. 4B is overlapped with the change in the log waveform shown in FIG. The curve C1 showing the change of the contact area S with respect to the change of the contact area S when the load F is a small value (about 0 to 0.1) when compared with the straight line C2 showing the case of assuming the linear change. Shows a large change, while the load F shows a large change thereafter (from 0.1 to 1). In the range), the amount of change is significantly reduced.

This relationship is found in the electronic pen 1 described above with reference to FIG. 2 when the pen pressure is increased after the pen tip member 3 is pressed against the object to be pressed (when a so-called pen-down operation is performed). The change in the contact area of the detection terminal member 35 with respect to the resonance operation dielectric 30 is large in the contact area in a range where the writing pressure at the start of pressing of the pen tip member 3 is weak, whereas the writing pressure is large. This means that the change in the contact area becomes smaller.

The value of the capacitance C obtained based on the change in the contact area S can be obtained by the above-described equation (1). As a result, the change in the capacitance C pushes the pen tip member 3 against the object to be pressed. This means that the capacitance C changes with high sensitivity when started, and as a result, the resonance circuit mechanism unit 11 of the electronic pen 1 in FIG. 2 starts to press the pen tip member 3 against the object to be pressed. A variable-capacitance electrical device shown as a writing pressure detection element 50A in FIG. 7 that can detect the change in electrostatic capacitance of the writing pressure detection terminal member 35 and the resonant operation dielectric 30 with high accuracy in a range where the writing pressure is small. This function is added to the front end face side of the resonant operation dielectric 30.

In the case of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, a capacitance adjusting conductive material layer 30C is fan-shaped in a semicircular region on the rear end surface 30B of the resonance operation dielectric 30. Deposited in layers.

In contrast, the front end surface 32A of the capacitance adjusting electrode 32 facing the rear end surface 30B of the resonance operation dielectric 30 protrudes forward in a fan shape in the semicircular region, as shown in FIG. A step surface 32B is formed.

The protruding step surface 32B of the capacitance adjustment electrode 32 faces the capacitance adjustment conductive material layer 30C of the resonance operation dielectric 30 so that the capacitance corresponding to the facing area is used for the resonance operation. It is formed between the dielectric 30.

The capacitance formed between the capacitance adjusting electrode 32 and the resonance operation dielectric 30 is changed by the user from the capacitance adjustment electrode 32 to the resonance operation dielectric 30 about the central axis L1. On the other hand, when the rotation position is changed, the capacitance between the protruding step surface 32B and the capacitance adjusting conductive material layer 30C is adjusted by the user according to the rotation amount of the capacitance adjusting electrode 32. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, an electric function as a capacitance adjusting element 50B that changes semi-fixedly is added to the rear end face side of the resonance operation dielectric 30. The

As shown by an equivalent circuit of an electric circuit element in FIG. 7, the electric signal processing unit 40 is a pen pressure composed of a parallel circuit of a pen pressure detecting element 50 A and a capacitance adjusting element 50 B via

output terminal members

34 and 36. A parallel resonance circuit is formed by connecting the capacitance converter 50 in parallel to the resonance operation coil member 23.

Thus, when the external magnetic field crosses the resonance operation coil member 23 and inductive energy is generated at both ends thereof, the electric signal processing unit 40 has the electrostatic capacitance of the writing pressure detection element 50A and the capacitance adjustment element 50B. Resonance electric energy is generated by the electric signal processing unit 40 in the housing 2.

The resonance current energy generated in the electronic pen 1 is held inside the electronic pen 1 even if the magnetic field crossed from the outside disappears in the resonance operation coil member 23. Therefore, the resonance current is used for the resonance operation. By continuing to flow through the coil member 23, a magnetic field based on the resonance current obtained by the writing pressure-capacitance conversion unit 50 is sent to the outside.

The frequency of the magnetic field transmitted to the outside is a value corresponding to the pressing pressure strength of the pressing shaft member 25 against the pressing target, and thus the writing pressure applied to the pen tip member 3 of the electronic pen 1.

Thus, in the electronic pen 1, the magnetic energy transmitted from the pressing target surface is applied by the resonance operation coil member 23 in a state in which the user makes the pen tip member 3 abut on the tablet display plate part Q 1 to be pressed. It is received and stored as the resonance energy of the coil member for resonance operation 23 and the writing pressure-capacitance conversion unit 50, and this is sent out from the electronic pen 1 to the outside as a magnetic field output with the resonance frequency varied according to the writing pressure. .

At this time, the output of the magnetic field to the outside can be configured by a passive component that does not require a power source in the electric signal processing unit 40.

Here, the resonance current energy received by the resonance operation coil member 23 of the electric signal processing unit 40 is the frequency of the magnetic field applied from the outside with a resonance frequency determined by the resonance operation coil member 23 and the writing pressure-capacitance conversion unit 50. Can be taken into the electronic pen 1 with the highest efficiency.

In the case of this embodiment, the resonance frequency matching condition is adjusted such that the protruding step portion 32B of the capacitance adjusting electrode 32 faces the capacitance adjusting conductive material layer 30C of the resonance operation dielectric 30. The area can be realized only by performing a simple adjustment operation by simply rotating the capacitance adjusting electrode 32 about the central axis L1.

(2) Second Embodiment FIG. 8 shows a second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, parts corresponding to those in FIG. In addition to the inductive resonance element formed by the coil member 23 and the capacitive resonance element formed by the writing pressure-capacitance conversion unit 50, the resonance adjustment circuit unit 55 and the resonance frequency switching circuit unit 56 are provided in parallel therewith. And connect.

The resonance capacitance circuit unit 55 includes a fixed capacitance element 60A and a semi-fixed capacitance element 60B as an increase capacitance element 60 that increases the capacitance value of the writing pressure-capacitance conversion unit 50. Are combined as many as needed.

Thus, by increasing the capacitance value by the increased capacitance element 60, the resonance frequency can be changed as necessary.

In addition, in the case of FIG. 8, in the resonance frequency switching circuit unit 56, the fixed capacitance element 56B and the semi-fixed capacitance element 56C are connected in parallel via the resonance frequency switching switch 56A.

In this case, the electrostatic values of the fixed capacitance element 56B and the semi-fixed capacitance element 56C are selected to be large enough to greatly change the resonance frequency. The frequency band of the frequency can be switched by the resonance frequency changeover switch 56A.

8, the electronic pen 1 can be applied to a case where the resonance frequency is variously changed according to the application, and an effective electronic pen can be realized.

The output is crossed from the coil member for resonance operation 23 to the X-axis loop coil of the tablet display board part Q1, and thereby, the writing pressure signal is given as the exchange information Q3 together with the designated position detection signal from the X-axis loop coil. Yes.

On the other hand, in the case of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the designated position detection operation executed in the resonance operation coil member 23 and the writing pressure detection operation for the tablet display board part Q1 are executed separately. .

As a result, the pressing shaft member 25 slides according to the writing pressure received by the pen tip member 3, whereby the electrostatic capacity of the writing pressure detection element 50 A changes according to the writing pressure, and this is applied to the electric signal processing unit 40. It is detected by the provided electrostatic capacitance detection circuit 76 and input to the central processing unit 77 as a writing pressure detection signal value S1.

On the other hand, the central processing unit 77 gives the position specifying operation signal S2 including the writing pressure detection value from the transmission / reception circuit 78 to the resonance operation coil member 23 via the resonance output transmission member 79.
