Description

電池レスリモコン装置Batteryless remote control device
 本発明は電池レスリモコン装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a batteryless remote control device.
 電池交換を必要としない電池レスリモコン装置が、例えば、トイレの分野で提供されている(特許文献1参照)。
 この装置では、ケースと、ケースに収納され押圧されることで発電可能な発電装置と、ケースの表面に設けられる複数のボタンと、複数のボタンの何れか一つが押圧されると発電装置を押圧するように移動するリンク機構と、を有し、ケースに対して複数のボタンが弾性部材によって支持され、複数のボタンの何れか一つが押圧されリンク機構が移動するとき、押圧されていないボタンはリンク機構の動きに影響を受けないように構成されている。

特開2015-168959号公報JP, 2015-168959, A
 特許文献1に記載の電池レスリモコン装置では、ボタンの動きが連動していないため、ボタンを押す際に余計な押圧力が発生せず、使用者にとって使い勝手のよいものとなる。
 このような電池レスリモコン装置にも、製造コストを低減する要請があり、かかる観点からこの装置の実施例を眺めると、ボタンの押下動作を回転動作に変換する構造を要するため、部品点数の増大、ひいては製造コストの増大を否めない。
 特許文献1の図8に示される変形態様の例では、ボタンの下端をカム部として、リンクから突出させたカムフォロア部に対向させている。これにより、ボタンの押下移動をリンクの平行移動に直接変換している。しかしながら、カム部に対向するカムフォロア部の傾斜面には高さが必要なため、カムフォロア部をリンクから突出させる構造の装置には、当該高さを確保するために、全体として厚くなることが避けられない。
In the batteryless remote control device described in Patent Document 1, since the movement of the button is not interlocked, unnecessary pressing force is not generated when the button is pressed, which is convenient for the user.
Such a batteryless remote control device is also required to reduce the manufacturing cost, and looking at the embodiment of this device from this point of view, it is necessary to convert the button pressing operation into the rotation operation, thus increasing the number of parts. As a result, it can not deny the increase of the manufacturing cost.
In the example of the modification shown by FIG. 8 of patent document 1, it is made to oppose the cam follower part which made the lower end of the button be a cam part, and was made to project from a link. Thereby, the pressing movement of the button is directly converted to the parallel movement of the link. However, since the height is required for the inclined surface of the cam follower portion facing the cam portion, in a device having a structure in which the cam follower portion protrudes from the link, in order to secure the height, an increase in overall thickness is avoided. I can not.

The said main-body part is equipped with the through-hole in the part facing the said button, The battery-less remote control apparatus with which the said 1st connection part is couple | bonded with the surrounding surface of this through-hole.
 このように規定される第1の局面の電池レスリモコン装置によれば、本体部の貫通孔の周面に第1連結部が連結される。ボタン側のカム部と本体部側のカムフォロア部とで第1連結部を構成したとき、貫通孔の周面をカムフォロア部として利用することにより、本体部の厚みをカムフォロア部の斜面の高さとして利用できるので、本体部から突出したカムフォロア部は不要となる。
 第1連結部はボタンの移動(例えば、ケースに対する垂直方向移動)を本体部の横移動(例えば、ケースに沿った移動)に変換するものである。既述のカム機構の他にもリンク機構を採用することができる。リンク機構においてもこれを構成するリンクやジョイントを貫通孔内に配置できるので、ケースを何ら厚くする必要がない。
According to the batteryless remote control device of the first aspect defined as described above, the first connecting portion is connected to the circumferential surface of the through hole of the main body portion. When the first connecting portion is constituted by the cam portion on the button side and the cam follower portion on the main body side, the thickness of the main body portion is set as the height of the slope of the cam follower portion by utilizing the peripheral surface of the through hole as a cam follower portion. Since it can be used, the cam follower part which protrudes from the main body part becomes unnecessary.
The first connector converts the movement of the button (e.g., movement in the vertical direction with respect to the case) into the lateral movement of the main body (e.g., movement along the case). A link mechanism can be employed in addition to the cam mechanism described above. Also in the link mechanism, since the links and joints that constitute the link mechanism can be disposed in the through holes, there is no need to make the case thick.
 貫通孔において移動方向下流側の周面が本体部の移動方向に対して直交することが好ましい(第2の局面)。これにより、第1連結部の連結が容易になる。
 更には、本体部は一対の縦木部と該縦木部に懸架された複数の横木部とを備えたラダー形状にして、貫通孔を矩形とし、横木部の側面に第1連結部が形成されることが好ましい(第3の局面)。ラダー形状にすることで本体部を可及的に軽量化できる。また、横木部を縦木部に対して両持ちはりとすることで、横木部を棒状ローラとすることも可能となる。棒状ローラもカムフォロア部として利用できる。
In the through hole, it is preferable that the circumferential surface on the downstream side in the moving direction be orthogonal to the moving direction of the main body (second aspect). This facilitates connection of the first connection part.
Furthermore, the main body portion is formed in a ladder shape including a pair of longitudinal members and a plurality of lateral members suspended on the longitudinal members, the through hole is rectangular, and the first connecting portion is formed on the side surface of the lateral members. Being preferred (third aspect). The ladder shape can reduce the weight of the main body as much as possible. In addition, it is possible to make the cross bar part a rod-like roller by making the cross bar part double-supported with respect to the cross bar part. A rod-like roller can also be used as a cam follower.

 この局面では、第1連結部がカム機構であることを規定する。カム機構はリンク機構に比べて部品点数が少なく、低コスト化の要請に適合する。
 ここに、各ボタンの第1カム部は同一方向の傾斜面とする。ここでいう同一方向とは、発電素子を発電させる方向をいい、必ずしも物理的に同一方向を指すものはない。例えば、先行特許文献1に例示されているように、第1のリンク部材と第2のリンク部材とがギアより反対方向に移動する構造においては、第1のリンク部材に対向するカム部の斜面と第2のリンク部材に対向するカム部のそれとは物理的には反対向きであるが、発電素子を発電させる方向という観点からは同一方向と定義できる。これらリンク部材が本願発明の本体部に対応する。
 ボタンの第1カム部の傾斜面に対して、貫通孔の周面にも傾斜面が形成される。即ち、各貫通孔において同一方向の周面に第1カムフォロア部としての傾斜面が形成される(第5の局面)。横木部は棒状ローラであってもよい(第6の局面)。棒状ローラのときは傾斜面は不要である。

The first connection portion includes a first cam portion formed on the button, and a first cam follower portion formed on a circumferential surface of the through hole of the main body portion so as to face the first cam portion. The operation of the button causes the first cam portion to press the first cam follower portion to move the main body portion.
In this aspect, it is defined that the first connecting portion is a cam mechanism. The cam mechanism has a smaller number of parts than the link mechanism, and meets the demand for cost reduction.
Here, the first cam portion of each button is an inclined surface in the same direction. The same direction as referred to herein means the direction in which the power generation element is caused to generate power, and does not necessarily point to the same direction physically. For example, as exemplified in Patent Document 1, in the structure in which the first link member and the second link member move in the opposite direction from the gear, the slope of the cam portion facing the first link member And the second link member are physically opposite to that of the cam portion facing the second link member, but can be defined as the same direction in terms of the direction of generating power from the power generation element. These link members correspond to the main body of the present invention.
An inclined surface is also formed on the peripheral surface of the through hole with respect to the inclined surface of the first cam portion of the button. That is, the inclined surface as a 1st cam follower part is formed in the surrounding surface of the same direction in each through-hole (5th aspect). The traverse part may be a rod-like roller (sixth aspect). In the case of a rod-shaped roller, the inclined surface is unnecessary.

According to the battery-less remote control device of the seventh aspect defined as described above, the button detection unit includes the first elastic member. The first elastic member elastically supports the button in a non-depressed state, and after the button is depressed, the button is pushed back to its original position when the depression is released. A compression coil spring can be used as such an elastic member. The compression coil spring has conventionally been disposed separately from a switch for detecting depression of a button. By adopting a push-button switch, the number of parts is reduced. Of course, in order to stabilize the button operation, a compression coil spring may be employed separately from the push button switch, that is, additionally. In addition, an elastic member having a spring elasticity that exhibits the same function, such as rubber, an elastomer, a tension coil spring, a spring plate or the like can be adopted.
 この局面において、プッシュボタンスイッチが本体部の貫通孔の内に配置されることを規定した。これは、本体部に貫通孔を設けたことにより得られる構造であり、これにより装置を小型化できる。
 プッシュボタンスイッチの代わりに、汎用的な接触式スイッチ、非接触式スイッチをボタン操作検出部として採用することができる。これらの場合、圧縮コイルばねをボタンとケースとの間に介在させる。勿論、プッシュボタンスイッチを採用するときにも、別途圧縮コイルばねを介在させることができる。
 発信回路には汎用的な回路を採用できる。なお、トイレ等では発信回路は無線の発信機の役割を果たしている。発信回路から発信される信号を有線で制御対象となる装置へ送信してもよい。
In this aspect, it is defined that the push button switch is disposed in the through hole of the main body. This is a structure obtained by providing a through hole in the main body, which allows the device to be miniaturized.
Instead of the push button switch, a general-purpose contact switch or non-contact switch can be employed as a button operation detection unit. In these cases, a compression coil spring is interposed between the button and the case. Of course, also when a push button switch is adopted, a compression coil spring can be separately interposed.
A general-purpose circuit can be adopted as the transmission circuit. In the toilet and the like, the transmission circuit plays the role of a radio transmitter. The signal transmitted from the transmission circuit may be transmitted by wire to the device to be controlled.
 この発明の第8の局面は次のように規定される。即ち、第7の局面に規定の電池レスリモコン装置において、前記本体部と前記ケースとの間に第2弾性部材が備えられ、該第2弾性部材は前記ボタンの操作により移動した前記本体部を移動前の位置側へ付勢する。
 このように規定される第8の局面に規定の電池レスリモコン装置によれば、ボタンの押下が解放されたとき、第2弾性部材により本体部自体が元の位置に戻される。このとき、当該本体部の移動にともない第1連結部を介してボタンも押し戻される。ここに、プッシュボタンスイッチによるボタンの戻し作用と相まって、ボタンをニュートラルにする作用が確実に実行される。
 第2弾性部材にも圧縮コイルばねを採用できる。その他、同様の作用を奏するばね弾性を有する弾性部材、例えばゴム、エラストマー、引っ張りコイルばね、バネ板等を採用できる。
The eighth aspect of the present invention is defined as follows. That is, in the batteryless remote control device according to the seventh aspect, a second elastic member is provided between the main body and the case, and the second elastic member moves the main body moved by the operation of the button. Bias toward the position before movement.
According to the batteryless remote control device defined in the eighth aspect defined as described above, when the pressing of the button is released, the main body itself is returned to the original position by the second elastic member. At this time, the button is also pushed back through the first connecting portion as the main body moves. Here, in conjunction with the return action of the button by the push button switch, the action of making the button neutral is reliably performed.
The compression coil spring can be adopted as the second elastic member. In addition, an elastic member having a spring elasticity that exhibits the same function, such as rubber, an elastomer, a tension coil spring, a spring plate or the like can be adopted.
 この発明の第9の局面は次のように規定される。即ち、第3の局面に規定の電池レスリモコン装置において、前記本体部の縦木部に形成された第2カム部と前記発電素子に形成されて前記第2カム部に対向する第2カムフォロア部とから前記第2連結部が形成される。
 このように規定される第9の局面に規定の電池レスリモコン装置によれば、第2連結部にカム機構を採用したので、構造がシンプルになる。また、縦木に第2カム部を設けることで、発電素子の配置の自由度が増大する。

According to the batteryless remote control device defined in the ninth aspect defined in this manner, the cam mechanism is adopted in the second connecting portion, so that the structure becomes simple. Further, by providing the second cam portion in the warp, the degree of freedom in the arrangement of the power generation element is increased.
 この発明の第10の局面は次のように規定される。即ち、第3の局面に規定の電池レスリモコン装置において、前記本体部において一対の横木部が第1カムフォロア部を構成し、前記ボタンには該一対の横木部に対向するように傾斜面が形成され、

 このように規定される第10の局面に規定の電池レスリモコン装置によれば、一対の横木部をカムフォロア部としそれに対向する一対のカム部をボタンに設けたので、ボタンと横木部との接触点が増大する。これによりボタンの押下動作が安定する。即ち、ボタンの押下方向においてボタンの投影面内に複数のカム-カムフォロアからなるカム機構を配置できる。よって、中心からずれた位置でボタンが押下されても、その押下動作が本体部に確実に伝達され、本体部の移動が安定する。
 この局面では、横木部の間にプッシュブタンスイッチが配置される。このプッシュブタンスイッチは一対のカム部の間に配置されるので、ボタンの支持がより安定する。

That is, in the batteryless remote control device as defined in the third aspect, the pair of traverse members in the main body constitutes a first cam follower, and the button has an inclined surface formed to face the pair of traverse members. And
The push button switch type button detection unit is disposed between the pair of crossbars.
According to the batteryless remote control device defined in the tenth aspect defined in this manner, since the pair of cross bar portions are cam follower portions and the pair of cam portions opposed thereto are provided on the button, the contact between the button and the cross bar portion The point increases. This stabilizes the button pressing operation. That is, a cam mechanism consisting of a plurality of cam-cam followers can be arranged in the projection plane of the button in the pressing direction of the button. Therefore, even if the button is pressed at a position deviated from the center, the pressing operation is reliably transmitted to the main body, and the movement of the main body is stabilized.
In this aspect, the push butane switch is disposed between the rungs. Since the push butane switch is disposed between the pair of cams, the support of the button is more stable.

 図1はこの発明の実施の形態の電池レスリモコン装置(以下「装置」と略することがある)1の分解斜視図である。
 この装置1は、ケース10、ボタン20(図3参照)、発電素子操作部100を備えている。
 ケース10は上蓋部11と下蓋部30とに分割され、上蓋部11にはボタン孔12があけられる。図2、3に示されるように、ボタン孔12にはボタン20がその軸方向、即ち上蓋部11の厚さ方向へ移動可能に挿着される。ボタン孔12の周りには筒状の補強部14が形成されている。
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a battery-less remote control device (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “device”) 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
The device 1 includes a case 10, a button 20 (see FIG. 3), and a power generation element operation unit 100.
The case 10 is divided into an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 30, and a button hole 12 is opened in the upper cover 11. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the button 20 is inserted into the button hole 12 so as to be movable in the axial direction, that is, in the thickness direction of the upper cover 11. A tubular reinforcing portion 14 is formed around the button hole 12.
 ボタン20は、被押圧部21、スイッチ押圧部25及びカム部26を備えている。被押圧部21は例えば円板状であってその表面にはボタンの作用を把握できるように、文字や記号が印刷されている。
 被押圧部21の周縁からはその意匠面と反対側(図2で下側)へ縁取り部23が垂れ下がっている。この縁取り部23は筒状であり、その外径寸法は上蓋部11の補強部14の内径寸法に略等しく、両者は摺動状態となる。縁取り部23の下端は外方へ折れ曲がってフランジ24を構成する。このフランジ24は補強部14の下端に当接して、ボタン20が上蓋部11から外れないようにしている。
The button 20 includes a pressed portion 21, a switch pressing portion 25 and a cam portion 26. The pressed portion 21 has, for example, a disk shape, and characters and symbols are printed on the surface of the pressed portion 21 so that the action of the button can be grasped.
From the peripheral edge of the pressed portion 21, the edged portion 23 hangs down to the side opposite to the design surface (the lower side in FIG. 2). The rim portion 23 has a cylindrical shape, and the outer diameter thereof is substantially equal to the inner diameter of the reinforcing portion 14 of the upper lid portion 11, and both are in a sliding state. The lower end of the rim 23 is bent outward to form a flange 24. The flange 24 abuts on the lower end of the reinforcing portion 14 so that the button 20 does not come off the upper cover 11.
 被押圧部21の裏面(意匠面と反対側面)のほぼ中央に棒状のスイッチ押圧部25が突設される。このスイッチ押圧部25はプッシュボタンスイッチ(以下、単に「スイッチ」と略することがある)200に対向して、ボタン20が押下されたときこのスイッチ200を押圧してオンとする。スイッチ押圧部25の形状は、スイッチ200を押圧できるように任意に設計変更できる。
 被押圧部21の裏面において、スイッチ押圧部25を挟むように一対のカム部26が突設される。カム部26は板状である。板の自由端(図3の下端)の両角に傾斜面が形成される。この傾斜面が第1カム部27となる。
 この例では、被押圧部21の裏面において中心から対象の位置に同一板状のカム部26が設けられ、各板の自由端の両角に第1カム部27が形成される。その結果、4つの第1のカム部27は、平面視において、被押圧部21の中心から放射状の位置にかつ点対称に配置される。よって、被押圧部21の中心以外の部分が押された場合に、傾いた部分がその下方のカム機構で支持される。よって、被押圧部21は殆どかしがずにその水平状態を維持し、横木部130を安定して押圧する。
 勿論、カム部26の構造は、その第1カム部27で横木部(即ち、第1カムフォロア部)を押圧可能であれば、任意に設計可能である。
 第1カム部27として、この例では、平面状の傾斜面を採用したが、曲面であってもよい。曲面を採用した場合、ボタンに対する押圧力のフィーリングを変更できる。傾斜面の形成方向は同方向とし、本体部101の移動方向を向いている。第1カム部27として棒状ローラを採用することができる。即ち、一対のカム部26の自由端の両角に棒状ローラを懸架する。この場合、横木部130が傾斜面となる。この横木部の傾斜面は本体部101の移動方向と反対向きである。即ち、図示の傾斜面の第1カム部と対向する方向である。
A bar-like switch pressing portion 25 is provided in a substantially central position on the back surface (a side opposite to the design surface) of the pressed portion 21. The switch pressing portion 25 faces the push button switch (which may be simply referred to as a "switch" hereinafter) 200, and presses the switch 200 to turn on when the button 20 is pressed. The shape of the switch pressing portion 25 can be arbitrarily changed in design so that the switch 200 can be pressed.
A pair of cam portions 26 are provided on the back surface of the pressed portion 21 so as to sandwich the switch pressing portion 25. The cam portion 26 is plate-shaped. Inclined surfaces are formed at both corners of the free end of the plate (lower end in FIG. 3). This inclined surface is the first cam portion 27.
In this example, the same plate-like cam portion 26 is provided at the target position from the center on the back surface of the pressed portion 21 and the first cam portion 27 is formed at both corners of the free end of each plate. As a result, the four first cam portions 27 are arranged at positions radially from the center of the pressed portion 21 and in point symmetry in plan view. Therefore, when a portion other than the center of the pressed portion 21 is pressed, the inclined portion is supported by the lower cam mechanism. Therefore, the pressed portion 21 maintains its horizontal state with almost no sagging, and presses the cross bar portion 130 stably.
Of course, the structure of the cam portion 26 can be arbitrarily designed as long as the cross cam portion (that is, the first cam follower portion) can be pressed by the first cam portion 27.
Although a flat inclined surface is employed as the first cam portion 27 in this example, it may be a curved surface. When a curved surface is adopted, the feeling of pressure on the button can be changed. The forming direction of the inclined surface is the same direction, and is directed to the moving direction of the main body portion 101. A rod-shaped roller can be employed as the first cam portion 27. That is, rod-like rollers are suspended at both corners of the free end of the pair of cam portions 26. In this case, the cross timber portion 130 is an inclined surface. The sloped surface of the cross section is opposite to the moving direction of the main body 101. That is, it is a direction facing the first cam portion of the inclined surface shown.
 本体部101は、図6に示すように、ラダー形状である。即ち、一対の縦木部110に複数の横木部130が懸架されている。この例では、この横木部130はボタン20の第1カム部27に対向する棒状ローラである。図6に示す通り、この棒状ローラの他に、第2の横木部として補強梁133が架設されている。
 この例では横木部130を棒状ローラとしてこれを第1カム部27に対向する第1カムフォロア部としたが、横木部130を、非回転体、即ち棒体としてその第1カム部27に対向する側面を傾斜面としてもよい。この傾斜面が第1カムフォロア部となる。
As shown in FIG. 6, the main body portion 101 has a ladder shape. That is, the plurality of cross-leaves 130 are suspended on the pair of warps 110. In this example, the cross bar portion 130 is a rod-shaped roller facing the first cam portion 27 of the button 20. As shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the rod-like roller, a reinforcing beam 133 is installed as a second cross bar.
In this example, the cross bar 130 is a rod-like roller and this is the first cam follower facing the first cam 27. However, the cross bar 130 is a non-rotating member, that is, a bar. The side surface may be an inclined surface. This inclined surface is the first cam follower portion.
 本体部101の縦木部110は長板状の部材であり、その下面にはスライド部111と被ガイド部113が形成されている。スライド部111は下蓋部30に接触しこれに対し摺動可能である。スライド部111はボタン20に対向する位置に形成することが好ましく、これにより、ボタン20が押圧されて横木部130に下向きの力が加えられたときにも縦木部110は変形しない。
 縦木部110の下面を全面的に下蓋部13に接触させると、接触抵抗が大きくなるので、スライド部111の接触面積は限定される。換言すれば、縦板部110においてスライド部111以外の下面は下蓋部30から離隔していることが好ましい。
 この例では、離隔した下面の一部に板状の被ガイド部113が設けられている。下蓋部30には被ガイド部113を挟むようにガイドレール31が形成されている。ボタン20が押圧されてその押圧力が第1カム部27から縦木部130に伝達されると、縦木部110、即ち本体部101はこのガイドレール31に沿って移動する。縦木部110の自由端には圧縮コイルばね115が下蓋部30との間に設けられる。この圧縮コイルばね115は、ボタンの押下に従い移動してきた縦木部110をその移動と反対方向に付勢する。ここれにより、ボタンの押下操作が解放されたとき、縦木部110を元の位置に戻す。この戻し動作において、横木部130が第1カム部27を押圧してボタン20を持ち上げる。
The longitudinal timber portion 110 of the main body portion 101 is a long plate-like member, and a slide portion 111 and a guided portion 113 are formed on the lower surface thereof. The slide portion 111 is in contact with the lower lid portion 30 and can slide relative thereto. The slide portion 111 is preferably formed at a position opposed to the button 20, whereby the barb portion 110 is not deformed even when the button 20 is pressed and a downward force is applied to the cross bar portion 130.
When the lower surface of the barbed portion 110 is entirely brought into contact with the lower lid portion 13, the contact resistance increases, so the contact area of the slide portion 111 is limited. In other words, it is preferable that the lower surface of the vertical plate portion 110 other than the slide portion 111 be separated from the lower lid portion 30.
In this example, a plate-like guided portion 113 is provided on a part of the lower surface separated. A guide rail 31 is formed in the lower cover 30 so as to sandwich the guided portion 113. When the button 20 is pressed and the pressing force is transmitted from the first cam portion 27 to the flute portion 130, the flute portion 110, that is, the main body portion 101 moves along the guide rails 31. A compression coil spring 115 is provided between the lower cover 30 and the free end of the cross bar 110. The compression coil spring 115 biases the barbed portion 110, which has been moved according to the depression of the button, in the direction opposite to the movement. By this, when the pressing operation of the button is released, the barbed portion 110 is returned to the original position. In this return operation, the cross beam portion 130 presses the first cam portion 27 and lifts the button 20.
 一方の縦木部110の外方側面に第2カム部120が形成されている。
 この第2カム部120は発電素子300の可動部に対向している。即ち、縦木部110の移動に伴い第2カム部120が移動すると、これに対向するように配置された発電素子300の可動部(第2カムフォロア部)が操作されて発電素子300が発電する。
 この例では発電素子300として電磁誘導型のものを用いた。圧電素子型の発電素子を用いることもできる。発電素子300は縦木部110の外方側面に対向するように配置されているが、発電素子300の配設位置は特に限定されるものではなく、縦木部110の内方側面、上面、又は端面(圧縮コイルばね115側の面)に対向するように設けることができる。更には、横木部130に第2カム部を設けることも可能である。これらの場合、発電素子300に対向するように第2カム部が設けられていることは言うまでもない。
A second cam portion 120 is formed on the outer side surface of one of the warps 110.
The second cam portion 120 faces the movable portion of the power generation element 300. That is, when the second cam portion 120 moves along with the movement of the vertical stem portion 110, the movable portion (second cam follower portion) of the power generating element 300 disposed to face the second cam portion is operated and the power generating element 300 generates power. .
In this example, an electromagnetic induction type was used as the power generation element 300. A piezoelectric element type power generation element can also be used. The power generation element 300 is disposed to face the outer side surface of the vertical bar portion 110, but the arrangement position of the power generation element 300 is not particularly limited, and the inner side surface and the upper surface of the vertical bar portion 110, Alternatively, it can be provided to face the end surface (surface on the side of the compression coil spring 115). Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a cross cam portion 130 with a second cam portion. In these cases, it is needless to say that the second cam portion is provided to face the power generation element 300.
 ボタン20の第1カム部27が当接する一対の横木部130の間にスイッチ200が配置される。このスイッチはプッシュボタン式であり、圧縮コイルばねを内蔵していて、ボタン20が押下されるとこれを反対方向に付勢する。これにより、本体部101の縦木部110の端面に設けられた圧縮コイルばね115と協働して、ボタン20を元の位置に戻す。
 このスイッチ200はボタンの押下に伴いオンとなる。即ち、ボタン20の操作が検出される。このオンの状態が図示しない発信回路へ反映されて、当該オン状態に対応した信号が外部へ送信される。スイッチ200のオンと同時に、発電素子300もオンとなる。発電素子300が発電した電力は発信回路へ供給され、もって、スイッチ200のオン状態に対応した信号が外部へ発信される。ボタン操作の検出、発信回路及びこの発信回路へ発電素子から電力を供給するシステムは汎用的なものを利用できる。
 このボタン20はこのプッシュボタンスイッチに支えらえた状態である。
The switch 200 is disposed between the pair of cross bar portions 130 with which the first cam portion 27 of the button 20 abuts. This switch is a push button type and incorporates a compression coil spring, and when the button 20 is depressed, it is biased in the opposite direction. Thereby, the button 20 is returned to the original position in cooperation with the compression coil spring 115 provided on the end face of the cross section 110 of the main body portion 101.
The switch 200 is turned on when the button is pressed. That is, the operation of the button 20 is detected. The on state is reflected to a transmission circuit (not shown), and a signal corresponding to the on state is transmitted to the outside. At the same time as the switch 200 is turned on, the power generation element 300 is also turned on. The power generated by the power generation element 300 is supplied to a transmission circuit, whereby a signal corresponding to the on state of the switch 200 is transmitted to the outside. A button operation detection, a transmission circuit, and a system for supplying power from the power generation element to the transmission circuit can be a versatile one.
The button 20 is supported by the push button switch.
 この例では、横木部110の間にスイッチ200を配置したので、装置全体を、ケースの幅方向に対して、コンパクトにできる。また、横木部110の側面を第1フォロア部として利用するので、第1フォロア部を上方へ何ら突設する必要がなくなり、ケースの厚さ方向に対して、コンパクトにできる。
 装置のコンパクト化の見地から上記の例を眺めると次のことが敷衍される。ケースの厚さ方向のコンパクト化において、ボタンの操作に連動して発電素子に作用して発電をさせる発電素子操作部の本体部(リンク機構)に貫通孔を形成して、その貫通孔の周面を第1カムフォロア部として利用すればよいことがわかる。また、この貫通孔内へスイッチを配設することで、ケースの幅方向のコンパクト化を達成できる。
In this example, since the switch 200 is disposed between the cross beam portions 110, the entire device can be made compact in the width direction of the case. Further, since the side surface of the cross bar portion 110 is used as the first follower portion, it is not necessary to project the first follower portion upward, and the case can be made compact in the thickness direction of the case.
Looking at the above example from the standpoint of equipment compactness, the following is extended. In compacting in the thickness direction of the case, a through hole is formed in the main body (link mechanism) of the power generating element operation unit that causes the power generating element to generate power in conjunction with the operation of the button. It is understood that the surface may be used as the first cam follower. Further, by disposing the switch in the through hole, it is possible to achieve compactness in the width direction of the case.
 図7及び図8には、他の発電素子操作部の本体部400の例を示す。この本体部400は板状の部材に貫通孔401が穿設されている。貫通孔401の形状は任意であるが、その周面において本体部400の移動方向下流側の面が斜面、即ち第1カムフォロア面403とされる。
 かかる本体部400に対して、ボタン420はその中央部にカム部426が配置され、カム部426の下面が傾斜面(第1カム部427)とされる。符号430はプッシュボタンスイッチである。
 上記において、貫通孔の周面は連続していなくてもよい。換言すれば、本体部の側面から切り欠きを設けてそれを貫通孔としてもよい。この場合、本体部の剛性を確保するため、材料、厚さ、切り欠きの大きさなど装置の用途に応じて適宜設計する。
 本体部は直線状の板材に限定されず、二次元的にまた三次元的に屈曲していてもよい。また、特許文献1に示されるように複数の本体部をギアで連結することもできる。
7 and 8 show an example of the main body 400 of another power generation element operating unit. In the main body 400, a through hole 401 is formed in a plate-like member. The shape of the through hole 401 is arbitrary, but the surface on the downstream side in the moving direction of the main body 400 in the circumferential surface thereof is a slope, that is, the first cam follower surface 403.
With respect to the main body 400, the cam portion 426 is disposed at the central portion of the button 420, and the lower surface of the cam portion 426 is an inclined surface (first cam portion 427). Reference numeral 430 is a push button switch.
In the above, the circumferential surface of the through hole may not be continuous. In other words, a notch may be provided from the side surface of the main body to be a through hole. In this case, in order to secure the rigidity of the main body, the material, thickness, size of the notch, and the like are appropriately designed according to the application of the device.
The main body portion is not limited to a linear plate, and may be bent in two dimensions and three dimensions. Further, as shown in Patent Document 1, a plurality of main body portions can be connected by gears.
 図1~6に示した電池レスリモコン装置1は次のように動作する。
 ボタン20を押下すると、カム部26の自由端に形成された傾斜面又は曲面(第1カム部27)がラダー形状の本体部101の横木部130を押圧する。これより、本体部101はケース10の下蓋部30の面に沿って移動する。移動方向を制御するためにガイドレール31が用いられる。ボタンの押下によりスイッチ200がオンとなり、当該ボタンが操作されたことが検出される。この検出結果に伴い、発信回路は当該ボタンに応じた信号を発信可能となる。また、ボタンの押下により、プッシュボタンスイッチに内蔵された圧縮コイルばねが、ボタンをその押下方向と反対側方向へ付勢する。
The batteryless remote control device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 operates as follows.
When the button 20 is pressed, an inclined surface or a curved surface (first cam portion 27) formed at the free end of the cam portion 26 presses the cross bar portion 130 of the ladder-shaped main body portion 101. As a result, the main body portion 101 moves along the surface of the lower cover 30 of the case 10. Guide rails 31 are used to control the direction of movement. When the button is pressed, the switch 200 is turned on, and it is detected that the button is operated. According to the detection result, the transmission circuit can transmit a signal corresponding to the button. Further, when the button is pressed, a compression coil spring incorporated in the push button switch biases the button in the direction opposite to the pressing direction.
 本体部101の移動に伴い、縦木部110の外方側面に設けられた第2カム部120が発電素子300に作用して、即ちその可動部を変位させ電力を発生させる。この電力は発信回路に供給される。電力の供給を受けた発信回路は、押下されたボタンに応じた信号を外部の制御対象に向けて発信する。
 なお、ボタンの種類によっては、引っ張りやスライドにより操作される場合がある。この場合においてもボタンの移動方向に第1カム部を設け、この第1カム部に対向する第1カムフォロア部を備えた発電素子操作部を設ける。そして、その本体部に貫通孔を設けて周縁部を第1カムフォロア部とする。
 これらの部品はスイッチや発電素子等の機能部品を除いて、樹脂で型成形可能である。よって、工業製品として安価に製造可能となる。
With the movement of the main body portion 101, the second cam portion 120 provided on the outer side surface of the longitudinal portion 110 acts on the power generation element 300, that is, the movable portion is displaced to generate electric power. This power is supplied to the transmitter circuit. The transmitting circuit receiving the supply of power transmits a signal corresponding to the pressed button to an external control target.
Depending on the type of button, it may be operated by pulling or sliding. Also in this case, the first cam portion is provided in the moving direction of the button, and the power generation element operating portion provided with the first cam follower portion facing the first cam portion is provided. And a through-hole is provided in the main-body part, and let a peripheral part be a 1st cam follower part.
These parts can be molded with resin except for functional parts such as switches and power generation elements. Therefore, it can be manufactured inexpensively as an industrial product.
