Description

Operating device

The present invention relates to an operating device.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known an operating device that is used for a fader or the like and adjusts a volume or the like by moving a fader knob along a guide rail that is a slot (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2010-249529 A

By the way, operating devices (especially crossfaders) used in DJ equipment are used differently from operating devices for audio equipment such as faders used in mixing consoles, and are required to be able to slide the slide operator quickly. The
However, in the configuration of Patent Document 1, when the slide operator is operated violently, if the user releases the hand after the operation, the slide operator hits and hits the end of the slit where the slide operator slides, which is not intended. Operation may be performed.
In view of this, it is conceivable that an impact absorbing material or the like is arranged at the slit end portion to absorb the impact at the slit end portion and suppress the rebound of the slide operation element. However, in such a configuration, when the user does not release his / her hand from the slide operator during operation, the impact when the user hits the slit end is absorbed by the slit end, so the slide operator and the slit end There is a possibility that the operational feeling due to the contact with the part is impaired.

An object of the present invention is to provide an operating device and a crossfader capable of suppressing the rebound of the slide operator without impairing the operational feeling.

The invention according to claim 1 is a second base part having a slide operation element, a first base part holding the second base part, and a damper connecting the first base part and the second base part. And the second base part is swingable.

The invention according to claim 4 is a crossfader including the operating device according to any one of claims 1 to 3.

The perspective view of the operating device which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. The front view which notched a part of operating device. The top view of an operating device. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 3.

Hereinafter, an operating device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, a case where the operating device of the present invention is applied to a crossfader of a DJ device is illustrated. 1 to 4, the + X direction is forward, the -X direction is backward, the + Y direction is right, the -Y direction is left, the + Z direction is upward, and the -Z direction is downward. To tell.

[Configuration of operation device]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the operating device 1 includes a first base portion 2, a second base portion 3 having a movable portion 4 as a slider operator, two dampers 5, and a movement restricting portion 6. And.

The first base portion 2 is formed of, for example, plastic or metal that does not deform. The first base portion 2 includes a rectangular plate-like first main body portion 21 extending in the left-right direction, and a pair of side portions 22 extending upward from both left and right ends of the first main body portion 21. The second base portion 3 is disposed in a space 23 surrounded by the first main body portion 21 and the pair of side portions 22.

[Effect of the embodiment]
As described above, the controller device 1 includes the damper 5 that connects the first base portion 2 and the second base portion 3 provided with the movable portion 4.
For this reason, for example, an operation knob (not shown) attached to the attachment portion 43 of the movable portion 4 is operated from the position indicated by the solid line in FIG. 3 to the position indicated by the two-dot chain line by vigorous operation. Even if it collides with the end portion, the impact at this time is absorbed by the damper 5 as the entire second base portion 3 moves relative to the first base portion 2. For this reason, after the movable part 4 collides with the stopper 326, even if a user releases a hand from an operation element, the amount by which the movable part 4 bounces can be decreased.
In addition, since it is not necessary to provide a shock absorbing material with low hardness at the end of the slit 311, when the movable part 4 collides with the stopper 326, the operational feeling when the movable part 4 hits the stopper 326 is impaired. Can be suppressed.

Further, the movement restricting portion 6 restricts the movement of the second base portion 3 relative to the first base portion 2 only in the axial direction of the first movement restricting shaft 61 and the second movement restricting shaft 64, that is, the moving direction of the movable portion 4. Yes.
For this reason, it can suppress that the 2nd base part 3 shakes in the direction different from the operation direction (movement direction of the movable part 4) of an operation knob during a user's operation.

In addition, when the present invention is used in a DJ apparatus crossfader, the stopper 326 provided at the end of the slit 311 is required to have sound absorption, shock absorption, durability, and hardness. The reason why the sound absorbing property is required is to suppress noise due to collision sound. The reason why the shock absorbing property is required is to suppress the rebound of the movable part 4. The reason why the durability is required is to reduce the replacement frequency of the stopper 326 due to breakage or deterioration. The reason why the hardness is required is to prevent the positional accuracy at the end of the slit 311 from deteriorating.
However, it is difficult to select a material that can satisfy all of the above four performances, and one of the performances has to be compromised depending on the intention of the user or manufacturer.
According to the present embodiment, at least the shock absorption is satisfied by the damper 5 which is a separate member from the stopper 326, so that even if the shock absorption is somewhat inferior, at least one of sound absorption, durability and hardness is satisfied. The material can be selected, and the selection range of the material of the stopper 326 can be widened.
In particular, since a stopper 326 having sound absorption (particularly excellent sound absorption) is provided at the end of the slit 311, most of the sound when the movable part 4 collides with the stopper 326 is absorbed by the stopper 326. The Therefore, the occurrence of a collision sound is suppressed even during intense operation, and the user can perform DJ performance comfortably.

[Modification]
Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various improvements and design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

For example, although the structure which applied rubber | gum as the damper 5 was illustrated, a coil spring, a leaf | plate spring, and sponge may be applied, and the damper using hydraulic pressure, pneumatic pressure, or magnetism may be applied. Further, the damper 5 does not have to have the same configuration on the left and right. For example, the right damper 5 may be made of rubber and the left damper 5 may be made of a coil spring.
Furthermore, although the damper 5 that connects the first base portion 2 and the second base portion 3 is provided at the upper end of the side portion 22 of the first base portion 2, the opposing surfaces of the pair of side portions 22 (right side) You may provide in the left surface of the part 22, and the right surface of the left side part 22. The position where the damper 5 is provided may not be the same on the left and right. For example, one damper 5 may be provided on the left surface of the right side 22 and the other damper 5 may be provided on the upper end of the left side 22. Good.

Moreover, the movement restricting unit 6 may not be provided. Furthermore, the 1st movement control shaft 61, the 1st axis | shaft holding | maintenance part 62, and the 1st sliding contact part 63 which were provided in the front side of the operating device 1, and the 2nd movement control shaft 64 and 2nd axis | shaft holding which were provided in the back side are provided. One of the part 65 and the second sliding contact part 66 may be omitted.

Further, the stopper 326 may not be provided. Further, although a material giving priority to sound absorption is selected as the stopper 326, a material giving priority to at least one of shock absorption, durability, and hardness over sound absorption may be selected.

The operating device of the present invention may be applied to a DJ mixer, a DJ player, an audio effector, or may be applied to a product other than a DJ device such as a music player, a game device, or a home appliance.
