【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、種々の電子機器等に使用して好適な回転型可変抵抗器に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の回転型可変抵抗器を図7、図8に基づいて説明すると、合成樹脂の成型品からなる基板31は、中央部に設けられた円形の孔31aと、外表面に設けられた凸部31bとを有している。
また、複数個の端子32、33は金属材からなり、この端子32、33は基板31に埋設されて取り付けられ、一端部は、基板31の側面部から外方に突出して端子部32a、33aが形成され、また、他端部は、基板31の表面から露出して露出部32b、33bが形成されている。
【0003】
また、銀等の良導電材を含むペーストを焼成して得られる集電体34は、基板31の表面に形成され、孔31aの周囲に円環状に設けられて構成されており、端子32の露出部32bと接続されている。
また、抵抗体35は、基板31の表面に形成され、円環状の集電体34の外周に設けられた円弧状で構成されている。
また、銀等の良導電材を含むペーストを焼成して得られる二つの引き出し部36は、基板31の表面に形成され、一端が抵抗体35に接続されると共に、他端が端子33の露出部33bに接続されている。
【0004】
また、射出成型にて形成された合成樹脂からなる回転体37は、円筒状をなす軸部37aと、この軸部37aの中央部に設けられた孔37bを有し、この回転体37には、金属板からなり、接片38a、38bを有する摺動子38が固着されている。
そして、回転体37は、軸部37aが基板31の孔31aに挿入されて回転可能に取り付けられ、摺動子38の一方の接片38aは集電体34に、また、他方の接片38bは抵抗体35に摺動するようになっている。
【0005】
また、合成樹脂の成型品からなるカバー39は、コップ状をなし、摺動子38、抵抗体35、及び集電体34を覆うように、基板31にスナップ止め等の適宜手段により取り付けられている。
そして、このような構成を有する従来の回転型可変抵抗器は、プリント基板(図示せず)上に、基板31の凸部31b、及び端子32、33の端子部32a、33aを載置して、プリント基板に面実装されて取り付けられるものである。
【0006】
そして、このような従来の回転型可変抵抗器の操作は、軸部37aの孔37bに操作部材(図示せず)を挿入して回転体37を回転すると、摺動子38が回転し、接片38aは、集電体34上を摺動し、また、接片38bは、抵抗体35上を摺動して、端子32と33との間で抵抗値の可変を行うようになっている。

【0007】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の回転型可変抵抗器は、合成樹脂からなる回転体37の軸部37aが合成樹脂からなる基板31の孔31aにガイドされて回転するため、両者が合成樹脂同士で摺動する状態となって、摩耗が早く、長寿命化が図れないばかりか、スムーズな回転ができないという問題がある。
また、合成樹脂からなる孔31aをガイドにして軸部37aが回転されるが、ヒケ等によって孔31aの精度が悪く、このため、回転時、摺動子38が抵抗体35上で同じ軌跡を通らず、性能が悪くなるという問題がある。
【0008】
そこで、本発明は、長寿命で、長期にわたってスムーズな回転ができると共に、性能の良好な回転型可変抵抗器を提供することを目的とする。

【発明の効果】
本発明の回転型可変抵抗器において、端子2には、これと一体に形成された円筒状の軸受け部2cを有し、この軸受け部2cは、基板1の孔1aの内面に露出した状態で設けられ、その先端部が集電体4及び抵抗体5が形成された基板1の表面側と反対側に向けて突出しており、回転体7の軸部7aが、集電体4及び抵抗体5が形成された基板1の表面側から基板1の孔1aに挿入されて、回転体7の軸部7aが軸受け部2c内に挿入され、軸部7aと軸受け部2cとの間で面摺動を行わしめて、回転体7が回転するようにしたため、合成樹脂の軸部7aと金属の軸受け部2cとの間で面摺動し、従って、従来に比して、摩耗が少なくなって、長寿命となると共に、長期わたってスムーズな回転ができる回転型可変抵抗器を提供できる。
また、金属で軸受け部2cを形成しているので、従来に比して、回転中心を精度良く形成できて、回転時、摺動子8が抵抗体5上の同じ軌跡を摺動して、性能の良好な回転型可変抵抗器を提供できる。
また、軸受け部2cは、その先端部が集電体4及び抵抗体5が形成された基板1の表面側と反対側に向けて突出したため、軸部7aの軸受け部2cへの挿入時、先端部が軸部7aにぶつかることが無く、組立性の良好なものが得られる。
【0024】
また、端子2と一体の軸受け部2cが回転体7の回転ガイドとなっているため、部品点数を増やさなくても良い。
また、軸受け部2cを設けることによって、その軸受け部2c内に挿入される形成金型によって軸受け部2cを正確に位置決めできて、精度の良い孔1aを形成することができる。
【0025】
また、軸受け部2cの外周面が基板1に密着して支持されたため、軸受け部2cの支持が強固となり、回転体8の回転支持の確実なものが得られる。
【0027】
また、軸受け部2cの先端部が孔1aの端部から外方に突出したため、軸部7aの支持が安定すると共に、突出した先端部を形成金型で保持できて、孔1aの精度の良いものが得られる。

The tip portion of the rotating body 7 protrudes toward the opposite side of the surface of the substrate 1 on which the current collector 4 and the resistor 5 are formed. 5 is inserted into the hole 1a of the substrate 1 from the surface side of the substrate 1, the shaft portion 7a of the rotating body 7 is inserted into the bearing portion 2c, and the surface slide between the shaft portion 7a and the bearing portion 2c. Since the rotating body 7 is rotated by the movement, the surface slides between the shaft portion 7a of the synthetic resin and the metal bearing portion 2c . with a long life can be provided a rotary variable resistor capable of smooth rotation for a long time.
Further, since the bearing portion 2c is formed of metal, the center of rotation can be formed more accurately than in the prior art, and during rotation, the slider 8 slides on the same locus on the resistor 5, A rotary variable resistor having good performance can be provided.
Further, since the tip of the bearing 2c protrudes toward the opposite side of the surface of the substrate 1 on which the current collector 4 and the resistor 5 are formed, the tip of the bearing 2c is inserted when the shaft 7a is inserted into the bearing 2c. The part does not collide with the shaft part 7a, and a product with good assemblability can be obtained.
[0024]
Further, since the bearing portion 2c integrated with the terminal 2 serves as a rotation guide for the rotating body 7, the number of parts does not have to be increased.
Further, by providing the bearing portion 2c, the bearing portion 2c can be accurately positioned by the forming mold inserted into the bearing portion 2c, and the hole 1a with high accuracy can be formed.
[0025]
Further, since the outer peripheral surface of the bearing portion 2c is supported in close contact with the substrate 1, the support of the bearing portion 2c is strengthened, and a reliable rotation support of the rotating body 8 is obtained.
[0027]
Further, since the tip end of the bearing portion 2c protrudes outward from the end of the hole 1a, the support of the shaft portion 7a is stabilized, and the protruding tip portion can be held by the forming mold, and the accuracy of the hole 1a is high. Things are obtained.
