[0034] figure 1 An exploded perspective view showing an embodiment of a rotary switch to which the bearing structure of the present invention is applied, figure 2 Indicates its axial section view.

[0035] The rotary switch includes: a cylindrical rotary operation shaft 10 , a bearing 20 passing through the rotary operation shaft 10 , a rotor 7 installed and fixed on the rotary operation shaft 10 for rotation, and a holder 6 .

[0036] The rotation operation shaft 10 is formed of resin or metal, and coaxially includes: a cylindrical operation part 11 having an outer peripheral surface forming a surface parallel to the axial direction; a cylindrical holding part 12 extending from the operation part 11 One end of which is reduced in diameter and extended in the axial direction; the cylindrical driving part 13 is further reduced in diameter from one end of the holding part 12 and extended in the axial direction. The end surface of the operation part 11 on the side of the holdi...

[0045] figure 1 , 2 , 3 represents the first embodiment in which the bearing structure of the present invention is applied to a rotary switch, Figure 4 shows an exploded perspective view of an embodiment suitable for a variable resistor, Figure 5 Indicates its axial section. The variable resistor comprises: a rotating operation shaft 10, a bearing 20, a rotor 7', a holder 6', an elastic ring 3, a fixed ring 4, a fixed pin 8, and figure 1 , 2 , 3, the difference is only in the rotor 7' and the holder 6'. Therefore, the following description will focus on the different parts, and the description of the common parts will be omitted as much as possible.

[0046] rotor 7' with figure 1 The rotor 7 similarly includes a rotating shaft 7A and a disk portion 7B, but instead of figure 1 The sliding contact piece 7C, the sliding contact piece 7'C is mounted on the plate surface of the disc portion 7B. The sliding contact piece 7'C is formed by pressing an elastic metal plate, a...

[0052] In the second embodiment, as Figure 6A As shown, a resistor body 6R and a common conductor ring 6C are provided on the bottom surface 6B of the housing recess 6A of the holder 6', and a sliding contact piece 7 with contact pieces 7'C1 and 7'C2 is provided on the disk portion 7B of the rotor 7'. 'C. As a variant, conversely as Figure 7 As shown, an arc-shaped resistor body 7R is set on the plate surface of the disc portion 7B of the rotor 7', and a common conductor ring 7Cc is set inside the resistor body 7R, which is used as a holder figure 2 The holder 6 makes the resistor body 7R and the common conductor ring 7Cc in sliding contact with the elastic contact pieces 6C1 and 6C3, respectively. However, the elastic contact 6C2 and the terminal 6T2 are not provided. In this case, in the rotor 7', one end of the resistor body 7R is connected to the common conductor ring 7Cc.

Abstract

A bearing structure containing: a rotary control shaft (100) having a retention part (120) extending in the axial direction from one end of a control part (110) and having a small outer diameter so as to form a step part (100S), and a drive part (130) extending further in the axial direction from the retention part (120); and a bearing (200) into which the retention part (120) is inserted, and which faces the step part (100S) at one end and has a shaft hole (230) for holding the retention part (120) in a rotatable manner. An electric machine signal control unit (600) for controlling signals by means of the rotation of a rotor (700) secured to the drive part (130) is disposed on the other end of the bearing (200). A tapered surface (200T) of which the inner diameter becomes larger towards the outside is formed on the one end of the bearing (200) at the inner circumferential edge of the shaft hole (230). An elastic ring (300) is attached to the retention part (120) by being elastically sandwiched between the tapered surface (200T) and the step part (100S).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a bearing structure of a rotary operation type electronic component, which is mainly used for a rotary switch and a variable resistor of a portable electronic device such as a wireless device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, the bearing structure employed in rotary switches, variable resistors, and the like is, for example, a structure in which a shaft is inserted into a bearing as described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 . Therefore, there is no structure to reduce the axial and radial looseness of the shaft, and the looseness is determined by the dimensional accuracy of the bearing and the shaft. [0003] In addition, Patent Document 3 discloses a rotary switch having a bearing structure sandwiching an O-ring for waterproofing between the inner wall surface of the cover and the outer peripheral surface of the rotor. This bearing structure can suppress looseness in the radial direction, but c...
