It is characterized.

  According to this, the multi-directional input device of the present invention operates the rotation detection member and the first press switch member without using the universal joint as in the conventional example when the operation member is rotated or pressed. be able to. Thereby, there is no backlash etc. in an operation member, and an operation feeling can be improved.

  In the multidirectional input device according to the present invention, the tilting member can rotate the first tilting body having a first tilting shaft that is orthogonal to the rotation shaft of the operation member, and the first rotation shaft. And a second tilting body having a second rotating shaft that is orthogonal to each of the rotating shaft and the first rotating shaft, and the support member is capable of rotating the second rotating shaft.

FIG. 10A is a perspective view of the support member 16, and FIG. 10B is a top view seen from the Z1 side shown in FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, the operation member 11 of the multidirectional input device 101 is integrally engaged with an operation body 11T having a bottomed cylindrical shape that can be grasped by a user's finger, and the operation body 11T. And a rotating shaft 11J interlocked with the operating body 11T.

  Although the operation body 11T of the operation member 11 is not shown in detail, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the engaging portion of the upper case 11a, the lower case 11c, and the upper case 11a and the lower case 11c. And a ring-shaped lateral case 11b that covers the surface. And each is produced by injection molding using a synthetic resin such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 6, the rotary electronic component K3 of the multidirectional input device 101 extends to the case 13 in which two steel plates are folded and combined, and above the case 13 (Z1 direction shown in FIG. 6). An outer shape is formed by the cylindrical guide portion 23 provided and is not illustrated in detail in the case 13, but a rotation detection for detecting the rotation of the operation member 11 is detected. A member K53 (see FIG. 5) and a first push switch member K73 (see FIG. 5) that is actuated by a pressing operation of the operation member 11 are accommodated.

  Further, the rotation shaft 11J of the operation member 11 is inserted into the hole 23h of the guide portion 23 shown in FIG. 6, and is engaged with the rotation detection member K53. Further, the outer edge of the guide portion 23 has a screw portion 23n shown in FIG. 6, and using the screw portion 23n and the nut NT shown in FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. The electronic component K3 and the tilting member 5 disposed on the upper surface side of the case 13 are fixed. At that time, a cover member 53 disposed so as to cover the rotary electronic component K3 is interposed between the rotary electronic component K3 and the tilting member 5, and tilts with the rotary electronic component K3. The fixing with the member 5 is ensured.

  Although not shown in detail, the guide portion 23 supports and engages the operating body 11T so as to be able to rotate and move in the vertical direction (Z direction shown in FIG. 3A). The mold electronic component K3 and the operation member 11 are integrally coupled. As a result, when the operation member 11 is rotated or pressed, the rotation detection member K53 and the first press switch member K73 can be operated without using the universal joint 906 as in the conventional example. As a result, there is no backlash or the like on the operation member 11, and the operation feeling can be improved.

  Further, the rotary electronic component K3 is mounted on one surface side PCp of the wiring board PC shown in FIG. 6, and a cable CN (not shown) connected to the connector CN provided on the other surface side PCr of the wiring board PC. And is connected to a control unit (not shown) mounted on the wiring board 19.

  The rotation detection member K53 of the rotation type electronic component K3 uses a so-called rotation type variable resistor composed of a substrate on which a resistor pattern is formed and a slider that slidably contacts the resistance pattern. As the rotary shaft 11J engaged with the rotation detection member K53 rotates, the slider slides, and a signal corresponding to the rotation is output from the rotation detection member K53.

  The first pressing switch member K73 of the rotary electronic component K3 uses a push switch of the same type as the second pressing switch member 57 so that the switch operation is performed in response to the pressing operation to the operation member 11. It has become. The details of the push switch will be described with the second pressing switch member 57.

  Next, the tilting member 5 of the multidirectional input device 101 includes a first tilting body 15 that rotates according to the tilting operation of the operation member 11 and an operation as shown in FIGS. 4A, 7, and 8. And a second tilting body 25 that rotates in accordance with the tilting operation of the member 11 and has an axial direction orthogonal to the axial direction of the first tilting body 15.

  The first tilting body 15 of the tilting member 5 is made by molding a synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIG. 7, a base portion 15b formed in a square plate shape and a first direction of the base portion 15b. A first rotation shaft 15j provided in D1 (Y direction shown in FIG. 7) and extending from the side wall, and a second direction D2 (X direction shown in FIG. 7) orthogonal to the first direction D1 and extending from the side wall. And two swinging pressing portions 15p provided. The first rotating shaft 15j is orthogonal to the rotating shaft 11J of the operating member 11 when the multidirectional input device 101 is assembled.

  Further, the first tilting body 15 is provided with two restricting projection members 55 provided in the diagonal direction of the base portion 15b and extending downward (Z2 direction shown in FIG. 7) from the lower surface of the base portion 15b. . Further, an opening 15k is provided in the central portion of the base portion 15b, and the guide portion 23 of the rotary electronic component K3 is inserted into the opening 15k, and a rotary type is used using the nut NT shown in FIG. The electronic component K3 is fixed to the first tilting body 15.

  The second tilted body 25 of the tilting member 5 is made by molding a synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIG. 7, the outer wall portion 25a formed in a rectangular frame shape and the first direction of the outer wall portion 25a. A through-hole portion 25h provided in D1 and penetrating the outer wall portion 25a, and a second rotating shaft 25j provided in the second direction D2 and extending outward from the side wall are configured. The second rotation shaft 25j is orthogonal to the rotation shaft 11J and the first rotation shaft 15j of the operation member 11. When the multidirectional input device 101 is assembled, as shown in FIG. 8, the first tilting body 15 is opened in the opening 25k surrounded by the outer wall portion 25a of the second tilting body 25 (see FIG. 7). The first rotation shaft 15j is accommodated and inserted into the through-hole portions 25h of the pair of outer wall portions 25a. Thereby, since the through-hole part 25h of the 2nd tilting body 25 supports the 1st rotating shaft 15j so that rotation is possible, the 2nd tilting body 25 comes to support the 1st tilting body 15 so that tilting is possible.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the second tilting body 25 is housed in the support member 16 together with the first tilting body 15, and a through hole 16h of the support member 16 described later (see FIG. 10A). ) Is inserted through the second rotating shaft 25j. Thereby, since the through-hole 16h of the support member 16 supports the second rotation shaft 25j so as to be rotatable, the support member 16 supports the second tilting body 25 so as to be tiltable. Accordingly, it is possible to realize an accurate tilting operation around the axis with respect to multiple directions. As a result, the operational feeling of the multidirectional tilting operation can be improved.

  Next, the support member 16 of the multidirectional input device 101 is formed by molding a synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIG. 5, has a partition surface 16p, and has a box-like shape whose upper and lower sides are open. It is made into a shape. A first accommodating portion 16s is formed above the partition surface 16p, and as described above, the tilting member 5 (the first tilting body 15 and the second tilting body 25) is accommodated in the first accommodating portion 16s. . A second housing portion 16y is formed on the lower side of the partition surface 16p (see FIG. 5), and the second pressing switch member 57 and the wiring board 19 are housed in the second housing portion 16y.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10A, the support member 16 has two penetrations through the side walls that form the first housing portion 16s and that face each other in the second direction D2 (the X direction shown in FIG. 10). A hole 16h is provided. As described above, the second rotating shaft 25j of the second tilting body 25 is inserted into the two through holes 16h, so that the support member 16 supports the second tilting body 25 in a tiltable manner. Yes.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 10, the support member 16 is provided with two guide members 56 extending upward from the partition surface 16 p in correspondence with the restricting protrusion members 55. This guide member 56 has the shape of a prism (square prism or octagonal prism) having a cross-shaped hole 56h in the cross section, and the restricting projection member 55 shown in FIG. 7 is inserted into the hole 56h.

  Further, the hole 56h of the guide member 56 has a function of guiding the restricting projection member 55. In the first embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Since it has a cross shape, the movement of the restricting projection member 55 inserted into the hole 56h is restricted to only two directions of the cross direction. Therefore, the respective tilt directions in the first tilted body 15 provided with the restricting projection member 55 and the second tilted body 25 interlocked with the first tilted body 15 are directions corresponding to the second press switch member 57. Can be regulated. That is, in the first embodiment of the present invention, four second pressing switch members 57 are arranged in the cross direction (the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, or the Y direction and the X direction shown in FIG. 7). Therefore, the regulating projection member 55 and the guide member 56 are arranged so that the tilting operation is performed only in this direction. Thus, even if the biaxial structure has a degree of freedom in the tilting direction, the tilting operation is performed only in the direction corresponding to the regulated second pressing switch member 57, and therefore the second pressing switch member 57 does not exist. Tilt movement in the direction is stopped.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, a stopper member 76 extending upward from the partition surface 16p is disposed on the support member 16 so as to face the vicinity of the rotary electronic component K3 (see FIG. 5). . The stopper member 76 has a cylindrical shape, and the tip end portion is gradually narrowed upward. Then, when the tilting member 5 (first tilting body 15) tries to bend when a pressing operation is performed by the user, the tip of the stopper member 76 is the wiring board PC on which the rotary electronic component K3 is mounted. It comes into contact with the surface side PCr. For this reason, the tilting member 5 is bent because the operation member 11 is pushed too much, and the bending of the tilting member 5 can be restricted at a position where the second pressing switch member 57 is not pressed by mistake due to this bending. As a result, malfunction of the second push switch member 57 can be prevented. Further, since the tip is thin, the tilting operation of the rotary electronic component K3 is not hindered.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the support member 16 is provided with four cylindrical portions 96 extending upward from the partition surface 16 p, and includes a through hole in the partition surface 16 p and an inner hole in the cylindrical portion 96. A through hole 96h is formed. The actuators A8 are inserted into the through-hole portions 96h of the four cylindrical portions 96 so as to be vertically movable.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the actuator A8 of the multidirectional input device 101 has a cylindrical shape having a cylindrical portion A8e and a flange portion A8t, and corresponds to the four second press switch members 57. Four are provided. One end of the actuator A8 is in contact with the lower surface of the swing pressing portion 15p of the first tilting body 15 and the lower surface of the outer wall portion 25a of the second tilting body 25 (see FIG. 9B). The other end of the actuator A8 is disposed to face the four second pressing switch members 57, respectively. As a result, when the tilting member 5 tilts in response to the tilting operation of the operation member 11 by the user, the actuator A8 moves downward and presses the second pressing switch member 57.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the actuator A8 uses a coil spring C8 that is inserted into the cylindrical portion A8e of the actuator A8 and is in contact with the flange portion A8t. When the tilting operation of the operation member 11 by the user is released, the tilting member 5 is automatically returned to the original position by the coil spring C8 contracted by the downward movement of the actuator A8. Further, by selecting the spring constant of the coil spring C8, the magnitude of the operation load when the user operates can be adjusted.

  Next, the second push switch member 57 of the multidirectional input device 101 uses a generally used push switch, and although not shown in detail, as shown in FIG. 7, a housing 57k having a storage portion. A central fixed contact portion and a peripheral fixed contact portion disposed in the storage portion, a movable contact that can be reversed by a pressing operation, a pressing portion 57p that presses the movable contact, a central fixed contact portion, and a peripheral fixed contact portion And lead terminals 57r electrically connected to each other. And this 2nd press switch member 57 act | operates by the tilting operation to the 4 directions of the operation member 11 by the mechanism mentioned above.

  Next, the wiring substrate 19 of the multidirectional input device 101 is a so-called double-sided printed wiring board (PWB) in which a metal foil such as copper (Cu) is patterned into a desired shape on both sides of an insulating substrate made of epoxy resin containing glass. , Printed wiring board). As shown in FIG. 5, the wiring board 19 is accommodated in the second accommodating portion 16 y of the support member 16 and is disposed below the tilting member 5. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, four second pressing switch members 57 are mounted on the wiring board 19, and are connected to various electronic components (not shown), a control unit of the rotary electronic component K 3, and a cable. Connectors and connectors for connecting to external devices.

  Finally, the upper cover C14 and the lower cover C54 of the multidirectional input device 101 are made by molding a synthetic resin material, and as shown in FIG. 1, have a box shape and are supported by the upper cover C14. The lower cover C54 is disposed so as to cover the lower surface of the support member 16 while covering the upper surface of the member 16. The upper cover C14 and the lower cover C54 prevent dust and the like from entering the multidirectional input device 101.

  The effects of the multidirectional input device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described below.

  In the multidirectional input device 101 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the operation member 11 and the rotary electronic component K3 are integrally coupled. Therefore, when the operation member 11 is rotated or pressed, the multi-directional input device 101 is similar to the conventional example. Without using the universal joint 906, the rotation detecting member K53 and the first pressing switch member K73 can be operated. As a result, there is no backlash or the like on the operation member 11, and the operation feeling can be improved.

  Further, since the first tilting body 15 and the second tilting body 25 that are the tilting members 5 can be tilted by the biaxial structure of the first rotating shaft 15j and the second rotating shaft 25j orthogonal to each other, the multi-directional On the other hand, it is possible to realize an accurate tilting operation around the axis. As a result, the operational feeling of the multidirectional tilting operation can be improved.

  Moreover, since the regulation protrusion member 55 and the guide member 56 are provided and the guide member 56 regulates the tilting direction of the first tilting body 15 and the second tilting body 25, even if the biaxial structure has a degree of freedom in the tilting direction. The tilting operation is performed only in the direction corresponding to the regulated second pressing switch member 57. Accordingly, the tilting operation in the direction in which the second pressing switch member 57 does not exist is prevented, and the second pressing switch member 57 can be pressed reliably.

  Further, since the stopper member 76 disposed in the vicinity of the rotary electronic component K3 is provided, the tilting member 5 is bent because the operation member 11 is pressed too much, and the second pressing switch member 57 is bent by this bending. The bending of the tilting member 5 can be restricted at a position where it is not accidentally pressed. As a result, malfunction of the second push switch member 57 can be prevented. Further, since the tip is thin, the tilting operation of the rotary electronic component K3 is not hindered.
