Switch device
View Patent ↗A switch device includes an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed, a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob, a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion, and a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged. The detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction.
1. A switch device, comprising:
an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed;
a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob;
a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion; and
a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged,
wherein the detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction, and
wherein the operating knob is arranged on a front surface side of the substrate, and the detection portion is arranged on a back surface side of the substrate.
2. The switch device according to claim 1 , wherein the detected portion protrudes on a back surface side of the substrate.
3. The switch device according to claim 1 , wherein a detent portion is provided on the front surface of the substrate so that the operating knob provides an operational feeling.
4. The switch device according to claim 1 , wherein the detected portion is integrally formed with the operating knob.
5. The switch device according to claim 1 , wherein the detected portion is formed separately from the operating knob.
6. The switch device according to claim 1 , wherein a detent portion covers an entirety of the substrate to provide a waterproof function to the substrate.
7. The switch device according to claim 6 , wherein the detent portion comprises a through-hole to allow the detected portion to protrude on a back surface side of the substrate.
8. The switch device according to claim 6 , wherein the substrate comprises a through-hole to allow the detected portion to protrude on a back surface side of the substrate.
9. A switch device, comprising:
an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed;
a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob;
a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion; and
a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged,
wherein the detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction, and
wherein the detected portion protrudes on a back surface side of the substrate.
10. A switch device, comprising:
an operating knob on which a tilting operation is performed;
a detected portion that tilts with the tilting operation of the operating knob;
a detection portion that detects movement of the detected portion; and
a substrate on which the detection portion is arranged,
wherein a detent portion is provided on the front surface of the substrate so that the operating knob provides an operational feeling,
wherein the detection portion is aligned in an in-plane direction of the substrate and performs a switching operation upon detection of movement of the detected portion in the in-plane direction, and
wherein the detent portion covers an entirety of the substrate to provide a waterproof function to the substrate.
