(control member is along the action of arrow A direction)
Then, if the action to multi-directional inputting device of the present invention with this structure describes, then as shown in Figure 3, if make the control member 23 that is in neutral condition overcome the ejection force of resetting-mechanism 26 and along arrow A direction fascinate (rotation), then as shown in Figure 5, by control member 23, second drive member 18 is rotated, consequently, by the rotation of rotary body 7, be rotated the operation of angular detection member 2, the output electric signal, in addition, if remove the action (rotational action) of fascinating of control member 23, then the control member 23 and second drive member 18 turn back to as shown in Figure 3 neutral condition by resetting-mechanism 26.When this was operated, in when action of fascinating, rotary body 7 overcame the ejection force of restoring component 9 and is rotated, but when turning back to neutral condition, the action of the restoring component 9 of rotary body 7 by being different from resetting-mechanism 26, and turn back to initial position reliably.
(operational forces of control member)
And, when control member 23 fascinates action (rotational action), ejection force (spring pressure) by resetting-mechanism 26, follow the variation of ejection force (spring pressure) of when action resetting-mechanism 26 that moves forwards that fascinates of working component 25, and flange shape 25b that will be from the center of rotation K of control member 23 to working component 25 is to the rotary torque of the length the application point of base plate 11a as arm (length of this arm increase along with the turning angle of control member 23 and reduce), control member 23 can obtain operational forces, then, if the operational forces to this control member 23 describes, then Figure 28 is the synoptic diagram that is used for the operational forces of description operation member 23, Figure 29 is the key diagram that is used for the operational forces of description operation member 23, Figure 30 is the turning angle (rotational angle) of expression control member 23 and the chart of the relation of operational forces, at first, as Figure 29 A, and it is shown in Figure 30, when control member 23 initially fascinates, based on the ejection force (spring pressure) of resetting-mechanism 26 and the bigger operational forces effect that produces forms the first rapid change curve H1.
Then, action continues to fascinate, perform region at control member 23, at Figure 29 A in Figure 29 B, the variation of the ejection force (spring pressure) by following working component 25 resetting-mechanism 26 that moves forwards and because of the length of the arm the application point of base plate 11a being reduced gradually the displacement of the rotary torque that causes from the center of rotation K of control member 23 to flange shape 25b forms the second certain change curve H2 of addendum modification (inclination of the chart in the perform region) as shown in figure 30.The volute spring as resetting-mechanism 26 among this second change curve H2 by working component 25 moving forwards, shrinks between the coiling portion that forms with different at interval pitches and form, with the compressed state of the immovable state of effective spring length degree.
And, if further continue to fascinate action, then as Figure 29 B to shown in Figure 29 C, turning angle from the regulation of control member 23, overlap successively to next coiling portion from the coiling portion that is positioned at topmost, on the direction that the addendum modification of as shown in figure 30 the second curve H2 increases variable (variation), form the 3rd change curve H3.Volute spring among the 3rd change curve H3 as resetting-mechanism 26, by working component 25 moving forwards, and to overlap successively between the coiling portion, and the mode that the effective spring length degree reduces gradually changes, thus, ejection force (spring pressure) increases, and forms the 3rd change curve H3.So, the operational forces of the perform region of control member 23 forms the second certain curve H2 of addendum modification, variable the 3rd curve H3 and the 3rd certain curve H3 of addendum modification on the direction that the addendum modification of this second change curve H2 increases, therefore, operational forces changes between second, third change curve H2, H3 significantly.Have, this volute spring also can make mounting means opposite again, from the coiling portion coincidence upward successively of lower side.
(control member is along the action of arrow B direction)
Then, as shown in Figure 2, if make the control member 23 that is in neutral condition overcome the ejection force of resetting-mechanism 26 and along arrow B direction fascinate (rotation), then as shown in Figure 4, by control member 23, first drive member 17 is rotated, consequently, rotation by rotary body 7, be rotated the operation of angular detection member 2, the output electric signal, in addition, if remove the action (rotational action) of fascinating of control member 23, then the control member 23 and first drive member 17 turn back to neutral condition by resetting-mechanism 26.When this was operated, in when action of fascinating, rotary body 7 overcame the ejection force of restoring component 9 and is rotated, but when turning back to neutral condition, and the action of the restoring component 9 of rotary body 7 by being different from resetting-mechanism 26 turns back to initial position reliably.In addition, in this operation, control member 23 also can be according to obtaining operational forces with described same principle, and the operational forces of control member 23 as shown in figure 30, can obtain first, second, third change curve H1, H2, H3.Have again, in the above description, the action of fascinating along arrow A direction and arrow B direction is set forth, but in all scopes of fascinating beyond arrow A direction and arrow B direction, also can carry out the action of fascinating of control member 23 certainly.
(control member is along the action of arrow C direction)
Then, if with as Fig. 2, or state shown in Figure 3 overcomes the ejection force of resetting-mechanism 26 and along arrow C direction pressing operation member 23, then second drive member 18 is pushed by axle support 24, second drive member 18 moves to the arrow C direction that with holding section 18b is fulcrum, consequently, press section 18c pressing lever 16, carry out the operation (ON or OFF) of pushbutton switch 13, in addition, if remove pushing of control member 23, then the control member 23 and second drive member 18 turn back to original state by resetting-mechanism 26, and the bar 16 of pushbutton switch 13 also turns back to original state by travelling contact etc.
(other embodiments of the operational forces of control member)
In addition, Figure 31 is the key diagram of first other embodiments of the expression operational forces that is used to obtain control member of the present invention, if these first other embodiments are described, then the volute spring as resetting-mechanism 26 is the structure of coniform coiling, other structure is identical with described embodiment, so omit its explanation at this.
In addition, Figure 32, Figure 33 is the key diagram of second other embodiments of the expression operational forces that is used to obtain control member of the present invention, if these second other embodiments are described, then resetting-mechanism 26 has first, the second elastic component 26a, 26b, this is first years old, the second elastic component 26a, 26b is made of the volute spring with the pitch between the equally spaced coiling portion, and, the first elastic component 26a is formed by first volute spring, the second elastic component 26b is formed by second volute spring, be configured in as the first helical spring first elastic component 26a between the leading section (upper end) of leading section (upper end) in the 23c of tube portion of control member 23 of chimeric working component 25 and working component 25, in addition, as the second helical spring second elastic component 26b, at the rear portion of the 23c of tube portion that is located at control member 23, between the rearward end of stage portion 23d and working component 25, dispose in the mode that leaves the interval of regulation with stage portion 23d, the first elastic component 26a is in the state of control member 23 ejection all the time to the top, but the second elastic component 26b with state configuration with play (state of not ejection control member 23) between control member 23 and working component 25.
