Rotating type electric component

Abstract

The invention provides a rotating type electric component, which is difficult to generate imperfect movement during push operations, has high reliability, will not generate click feeling repeatedly and has good operation touch. The rotating type electric component has a housing (box body), which has a hollow shape bearing part and an annular first and second containing parts; a hollow shape operation shaft, which is externally inserted in the bearing part to be supported to be able to rotate and reciprocate toward the shaft direction; a rotary detection mechanism, which is provided in the second containing part, to detect the rotary movement of the operations shaft; a drive body, which has a sloped movement fulcrum part and an application point part, is provided in the first containing part, and performs sloped movement at the push operating force action of the operation shaft; a button switch, provided in the first containing part, and is driven by the pressing of the application point part of the drive body in sloped movement, wherein a force point part for applying push operating force is provided at a specified position between the sloped movement fulcrum part and the application point in contraposition partitioned with a rotating center line of the operation shaft of the drive body.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a rotary electric component provided with a push button switch, and more particularly to a rotary electric component with a push button switch in which a storage space for other components is ensured in the center. Background technique [0002] As a rotary electric component with a push button switch, a component with the following structure is well known: an operating shaft capable of rotating and reciprocating in the axial direction is incorporated into the central part, a push button switch is provided behind the operating shaft, and A rotation detection mechanism (encoder or variable resistor) including a rotating body spline-coupled to the operation shaft and the like is arranged around it. When the operation shaft is pressed in the axial direction, the button switch is pressed and driven to output a switch ON signal, and when the operation shaft is rotated, the rotation detection mechanism detects the rotation of ...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, in the conventional rotary electric component disclosed in Patent Document 1, the push-button switch can be reliably pushed and driven even if the operation shaft is pushed in in an inclined state during the push operation, so that the push-button switch is arranged at substantially equal intervals. However, when the above-mentioned plurality of push-button switches are continuously pressed and driven with a time difference, there is a problem that the click feeling generated by each push-button switch is continuously transmitted to the operator's fingers.

That is, each push button switch has a built-in dome-shaped metal contact that produces a click feeling when it is reversely bent. Therefore, unless a plurality of push button switches are simultaneously pressed and driven, the timing of the reverse bend of each metal contact is limited. Deviation occurs, and the clicking feeling is repeatedly generated when pressing, which tends to impair the tactile feel of the operation
