Detection of displacement can be mechanical, electrical, optical, or magnetic using well-known configurations. The second sensor 132 is configured to output a second detection signal DS2 upon detecting displacement of the knob 11 in the first direction D1.
スイッチ装置10は、制御部14を備えている。制御部14は、第一検出信号DS1と第二検出信号DS2の双方を受け付けると、第一制御信号CS1を出力するように構成されている。第一制御信号CS1は、空調装置21に設定温度を下げる動作を実行させるように構成されている。設定温度を下げる動作は、第一動作の一例である。
The switch device 10 includes a control section 14 . The control unit 14 is configured to output the first control signal CS1 when both the first detection signal DS1 and the second detection signal DS2 are received. The first control signal CS1 is configured to cause the air conditioner 21 to lower the set temperature. The action of lowering the set temperature is an example of the first action.
すなわち、制御部14は、第一センサ131により検出領域12における静電容量の変化が検出され、かつ第二センサ132によりノブ11の第一方向D1への変位が検出された場合に、第一制御信号CS1を出力するように構成されている。したがって、乗員は、空調装置21に設定温度を下げる動作を実行させるために、手指Fで検出領域12に触れた状態でノブ11を第一方向D1へ変位させる必要がある。
That is, when the first sensor 131 detects a change in capacitance in the detection area 12 and the second sensor 132 detects a displacement of the knob 11 in the first direction D1, the control unit 14 detects the first It is configured to output a control signal CS1. Therefore, the occupant needs to move the knob 11 in the first direction D1 while touching the detection area 12 with the finger F in order to cause the air conditioner 21 to lower the set temperature.
検出領域12は、第一部分121と第二部分122を含んでいる。第二部分122は、第一方向D1に沿う向きにおける検出領域12の中央Cよりも第一方向D1に離れた位置に設けられている。第二部分122は、第一部分121よりも識別性の高い外観を呈している。
The detection area 12 includes a first portion 121 and a second portion 122. The second portion 122 is provided at a position away in the first direction D1 from the center C of the detection area 12 in the direction along the first direction D1. The second portion 122 has a more distinctive appearance than the first portion 121 .
本明細書で用いられる「X方向に沿う向き」という表現は、X方向に直交する向きよりもX方向に近い向きを意味する。
The expression "orientation along the X direction" used in this specification means an orientation closer to the X direction than an orientation orthogonal to the X direction.
具体的には、図3と図4に例示されるように、第二部分122は、第一部分121に対して高低差を提供する突条として形成されている。
Specifically, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second portion 122 is formed as a ridge that provides a height difference with respect to the first portion 121 .
検出領域12が設けられていないノブ11の表面に乗員の手指Fが触れた場合、第一センサ131は、第一検出信号DS1を出力しない。当該表面を、便宜上「非検出領域11a」と称する。図4において、符号Bは、非検出領域11aと検出領域12の境界を示している。したがって、乗員の手指Fが非検出領域11aに触れた状態でノブ11が第一方向D1へ変位されても、空調装置21に設定温度を下げる動作を行なわせることができない。
When the occupant's finger F touches the surface of the knob 11 where the detection area 12 is not provided, the first sensor 131 does not output the first detection signal DS1. This surface is referred to as "non-detection area 11a" for convenience. In FIG. 4, symbol B indicates the boundary between the non-detection area 11a and the detection area 12. In FIG. Therefore, even if the knob 11 is displaced in the first direction D1 while the occupant's finger F is in contact with the non-detection region 11a, the air conditioner 21 cannot be caused to lower the set temperature.
しかしながら、識別性の高い外観を呈する第二部分122が上記のような位置に設けられることにより、ノブ11の第一方向D1への変位が示唆され、同方向への変位操作を希望する乗員の注意を第二部分122へ導くことができる。すなわち、第二部分122を手指Fで触れる動作を乗員に促すことができるので、第一センサ131による検出に寄与する位置に手指Fが触れた状態でノブ11が第一方向D1へ変位される確実性を高めることができる。結果として、ノブ11に対する手指Fの接触にともなう静電容量の変化を操作入力の要件とするスイッチ装置10の操作性を高めることができる。
However, by providing the second portion 122 exhibiting a highly identifiable appearance at the position as described above, the displacement of the knob 11 in the first direction D1 is suggested, and the occupant who desires the displacement operation in the same direction is suggested. Attention can be directed to the second portion 122 . That is, since the occupant can be encouraged to touch the second portion 122 with the finger F, the knob 11 is displaced in the first direction D1 with the finger F touching a position that contributes to detection by the first sensor 131. It can increase certainty. As a result, it is possible to improve the operability of the switch device 10 that requires a change in capacitance due to contact of the finger F with the knob 11 as an operation input.
特に本例のように、第一部分121に対する高低差を提供する突条として第二部分122が形成されている場合、操作時における手指Fと検出領域12の間の摩擦を大きくできるので、ノブ11の第一方向D1への変位に要する操作力を小さくできる。よって、スイッチ装置10の操作性をさらに高めることができる。
Especially when the second portion 122 is formed as a ridge that provides a height difference with respect to the first portion 121 as in this example, the friction between the finger F and the detection area 12 during operation can be increased. can reduce the operating force required for displacement in the first direction D1. Therefore, the operability of the switch device 10 can be further improved.
第一部分121に対する高低差を提供できるのであれば、第二部分122の形状は突条に限られない。第二部分122の形状は、少なくとも一つの突起、凹溝、少なくとも一つの孔などの態様をとりうる。
The shape of the second portion 122 is not limited to a ridge as long as it can provide a height difference with respect to the first portion 121 . The shape of the second portion 122 can take the form of at least one protrusion, groove, at least one hole, or the like.
第一部分121よりも高い識別性を提供できるのであれば、第二部分122は、第一部分121と異なる色を呈する部分や、第一部分121と異なる材料で形成された部分でありうる。
The second part 122 can be a part with a color different from that of the first part 121 or a part made of a material different from that of the first part 121, as long as it can provide higher identifiability than the first part 121.
図1に例示されるように、スイッチ装置10は、第三センサ133を備えている。第三センサ133は、ノブ11の第二方向D2への変位を検出するように構成されている。変位の検出は、周知の構成を用いて、機械的、電気的、光学的、あるいは磁気的になされうる。第三センサ133は、ノブ11の第二方向D2への変位を検出すると、第三検出信号DS3を出力するように構成されている。
The switch device 10 includes a third sensor 133 as illustrated in FIG. The third sensor 133 is configured to detect displacement of the knob 11 in the second direction D2. Detection of displacement can be mechanical, electrical, optical, or magnetic using well-known configurations. The third sensor 133 is configured to output a third detection signal DS3 upon detecting displacement of the knob 11 in the second direction D2.
制御部14は、第一検出信号DS1と第三検出信号DS3の双方を受け付けると、第二制御信号CS2を出力するように構成されている。第二制御信号CS2は、空調装置21に設定温度を上げる動作を実行させるように構成されている。設定温度を上げる動作は、第二動作の一例である。
The control unit 14 is configured to output a second control signal CS2 when both the first detection signal DS1 and the third detection signal DS3 are received. The second control signal CS2 is configured to cause the air conditioner 21 to increase the set temperature. The action of increasing the set temperature is an example of the second action.
すなわち、制御部14は、第一センサ131により検出領域12における静電容量の変化が検出され、かつ第三センサ133によりノブ11の第二方向D2への変位が検出された場合に、第二制御信号CS2を出力するように構成されている。したがって、乗員は、空調装置21に設定温度を上げる動作を実行させるために、手指Fで検出領域12に触れた状態でノブ11を第二方向D2へ変位させる必要がある。
That is, when the first sensor 131 detects a change in capacitance in the detection area 12 and the third sensor 133 detects a displacement of the knob 11 in the second direction D2, the control unit 14 detects the second It is configured to output a control signal CS2. Therefore, the occupant needs to displace the knob 11 in the second direction D2 while touching the detection area 12 with the finger F in order to cause the air conditioner 21 to raise the set temperature.
検出領域12は、第三部分123を含んでいる。第三部分123は、第二方向D2に沿う向きにおける検出領域12の中央Cよりも第二方向D2に離れた位置に設けられている。第三部分123は、第一部分121よりも識別性の高い外観を呈している。
The detection area 12 includes a third portion 123. The third portion 123 is provided at a position away from the center C of the detection region 12 in the second direction D2 in the second direction D2. The third portion 123 has a more distinctive appearance than the first portion 121 .
具体的には、図3と図4に例示されるように、第三部分123は、第一部分121に対して高低差を提供する突条として形成されている。
Specifically, as exemplified in FIGS. 3 and 4, the third portion 123 is formed as a ridge that provides a height difference with respect to the first portion 121 .
前述したように、乗員の手指Fが非検出領域11aに触れた状態でノブ11が第二方向D2へ変位されても、空調装置21に設定温度を上げる動作を行なわせることができない。しかしながら、識別性の高い外観を呈する第三部分123が上記のような位置に設けられることにより、ノブ11の第二方向D2への変位が示唆され、同方向への変位操作を希望する乗員の注意を第三部分123へ導くことができる。すなわち、第三部分123を手指Fで触れる動作を乗員に促すことができるので、第一センサ131による検出に寄与する位置に手指Fが触れた状態でノブ11が第二方向D2へ変位される確実性を高めることができる。結果として、ノブ11に対する手指Fの接触にともなう静電容量の変化を操作入力の要件とするスイッチ装置10の操作性を高めることができる。
As described above, even if the knob 11 is displaced in the second direction D2 while the occupant's finger F is touching the non-detection region 11a, the air conditioner 21 cannot be made to raise the set temperature. However, by providing the third portion 123 exhibiting a highly identifiable appearance at the position as described above, the displacement of the knob 11 in the second direction D2 is suggested, and the occupant who desires the displacement operation in the same direction is suggested.
