Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a non-self-luminous switch structure, and in particular, allows a push button to move freely in a through-hole of a lighting panel, and when the push button is pushed in, light is irradiated on the surface of the push button, thereby pushing the push button in. It relates to a new improvement so that it can be confirmed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a non-self-luminous switch structure used in the field of aircraft and the like that has been used, since it is manufactured in-house, patent literature and non-patent literature are not disclosed, but non-self-luminous and self-luminous type Those that have the same function and can clear the standards such as the MIL standard have not been developed yet.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the conventional switch structure, a self-luminous switch structure has been developed. However, there has been no development of a non-self-luminous type, and its development has been eagerly desired.
[0004]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. In particular, the push button can be freely moved into the through hole of the lighting panel, and when the push button is pushed, the surface of the push button is irradiated with light. It is an object of the present invention to provide a non-self-luminous switch structure that can confirm the push-in operation of the push button.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Non-self-luminous switch structure according to the present invention, the aircraft instrument panel to a fixed plate-shaped lighting panel for guiding light has a through hole, and the both sides disposed the emitters of the lighting panel , a push button having a tapered portion of the looped periphery of the surface along with the whole seen from the front side shape forms a disc-shaped with positioned freely pushed into the through-hole, Ru is connected via a shaft to said push button And a switching function unit comprising a switch or a breaker that is fixed to the instrument panel and operates in conjunction with the push-in operation of the push button, and the light from the light emitter is in a state parallel to the surface of the lighting panel. It is guided, an inner periphery of the through hole is configured such that the light without applying the paint or the like is incident to the through hole, when pushed the push button, the tapered portion is the other writing Is pushed from the front surface of the panel inwardly, light within said lighting panel by reflecting is irradiated to the tapered portion, the structure can be recognized in that the push button is pushed by a change in the light of the push button is there.
[0006]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a non-self light emitting switch structure according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 is a plate-like lighting panel made of a transparent light-guiding member such as acrylic, and this lighting panel is fixed to a dashboard of a cockpit of an aircraft or the like.
[0007]
On a side position of the lighting panel 1, the light emitting element 2 on both sides of that is disposed, light 2a from the light emitting element 2 is guided through the lighting panel 1 in parallel with its plane It is configured as follows.
[0008]
The lighting panel 1 is formed with a through-hole 3 formed so as to penetrate in the thickness direction, and the push button 4 can be pushed in or moved along the position indicated by a solid line and a dotted line in the through-hole 3. Arranged freely.
The inner periphery of the through hole 3 is configured such that the light 2a enters the through hole 3 without applying paint or the like.
[0009]
The push button 4 has a disc shape, that is, a round shape as viewed from the front side, and a tapered portion 5 formed in a ring shape is provided on the periphery of the surface 4a.
[0010]
A switching function unit 7 is connected to the push button 4 via a shaft 6, and this switching function unit 7 is fixed to the instrument panel side.
The switching function unit 7 has a switching function such as a known switch or breaker, and is configured to switch the switch or breaker by pressing the push button 4 from a solid line to a dotted line. Yes.
[0011]
When the push button 4 is pushed from the position of the solid line to the position of the dotted line, the tapered portion 5 is pushed inward from the front surface 1a of the lighting panel 1, and light in the lighting panel 1 is irradiated to the tapered portion 5. By being reflected, it is possible to recognize that the push button 4 has been pushed in by a change in the light of the push button 4.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
Since the non-self light emitting switch structure according to the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
In other words, the push button of the switching function section is freely inserted into the through hole formed in the light guide lighting panel, and the switch operating state is utilized by utilizing the change in the light emitted to the push button when the push button is pressed. Can be recognized.
In addition, a non-self-lighting pushbutton switch that is not a conventional illuminated (self-lighting) pushbutton can be used, and the range of selection of adopting the switch can be widened. The cost can be greatly reduced and the power consumption can be reduced.
