Pressing mechanism of push switch and push switch
A pressing mechanism of a push switch including an operation member configured to be pressed, and a leaf spring member that includes a dome portion bulging in a dome shape and an opening portion provided in a central portion of the dome portion, the leaf spring member generating a tactile sensation on the operation member by an inverting operation of the dome portion in response to being pressed by the operation member, wherein the operation member includes a first pressing portion configured to press a movable contact point member against a fixed contact point member through the opening portion and a second pressing portion configured to press the dome portion.
1. A pressing mechanism of a push switch, the pressing mechanism comprising:
an operation member configured to be pressed; and
a leaf spring member that includes a dome portion bulging in a dome shape and an opening portion provided in a central portion of the dome portion, the leaf spring member generating a tactile sensation on the operation member by an inverting operation of the dome portion in response to being pressed by the operation member,
wherein the operation member includes
a first pressing portion configured to press a movable contact point member against a fixed contact point member through the opening portion,
a second pressing portion configured to press the dome portion, and
a base portion having a pressing surface,
wherein the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion are provided on the pressing surface of the base portion such that the first pressing portion is disposed at a center area and the second pressing portion is disposed outside the first pressing portion in a plan view, and
wherein the first pressing portion and the second pressing portion are spaced apart from each other on the pressing surface of the base portion.
2. The pressing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the movable contact point member and the fixed contact point member are made of a membrane sheet.
3. The pressing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the operation member includes a recessed portion provided in a portion where a pressing force of a pressing operation is applied.
4. The pressing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the second pressing portion is in a ring shape in the plan view, and
the first pressing portion is provided on an inner side of the second pressing portion in the ring shape in the plan view.
5. The pressing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the second pressing portion and the opening portion are of similar shapes in the plan view.
6. The pressing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein
the first pressing portion is smaller than the base portion in the plan view.
7. The pressing mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the first pressing portion protrudes toward the movable contact point member with respect to the second pressing portion.
