Description

本発明は、自動車、二輪車若しくは産業機械等の車両や小型船舶、スノーモービル等の搭乗手段に配設され、タクトスイッチがオンすることにより所定の電気回路を形成し、搭乗手段又は搭乗手段が具備する装備を動作させ得る搭乗手段用操作装置に関するものである。   The present invention is arranged in a boarding means such as a vehicle such as an automobile, a two-wheeled vehicle or an industrial machine, a small ship, a snowmobile, etc., and forms a predetermined electric circuit by turning on a tact switch, and the boarding means or the boarding means is provided. The present invention relates to an operating device for boarding means capable of operating the equipment to be operated.

産業機械、一例として建設機械(建機)は、土木・建築の作業現場において使用されるもので、ブルドーザやパワーショベル、クレーン車が挙げられる。こうした産業機械の運転席には、一般に、揺動操作により当該産業機械又は産業機械が具備する装備(オプション)に対して所定の一の動作を行わせる操作レバーを具備しており、当該操作レバーの突端側には作業者が把持し得る把持部が形成されている。   An industrial machine, for example, a construction machine (construction machine) is used at a civil engineering / architecture work site, and includes a bulldozer, a power shovel, and a crane truck. The driver's seat of such an industrial machine is generally provided with an operation lever that causes the industrial machine or equipment (option) included in the industrial machine to perform a predetermined operation by a swinging operation. A grip portion that can be gripped by an operator is formed on the protruding end side.

そして、把持部を作業者が把持しつつ操作レバーを揺動操作することにより、例えば、産業機械の走行制御やスクレーパ等から成るオプションの所定動作を行わせ得るようになっている。然るに、近時においては、作業者が操作可能な操作ノブを把持部に形成したものが提案されるに至っており、作業者は把持部を把持して操作レバーを揺動操作しつつ把持した指を延ばして操作ノブを操作し、他の操作を行い得るようになっている。   Then, by swinging the operation lever while the operator holds the grip portion, an optional predetermined operation including, for example, traveling control of an industrial machine or a scraper can be performed. Recently, however, it has been proposed that an operation knob that can be operated by an operator is formed on the gripping part. The operator grasps the gripping part while holding the gripping part and swinging the operation lever. The operation knob can be operated by extending the length so that other operations can be performed.

かかる従来の操作装置においては、操作ノブの操作によりオンして所定の電気回路を形成し得るタクトスイッチを具備し、該タクトスイッチが所定の電気回路を形成することにより、産業機械の他の動作(例えば、装備したスクレーパの向きを変えたり或いは走行時の変速操作を行わせるなどの動作)を行わせるものがある。尚、かかる先行技術は、文献公知発明に係るものでないため、記載すべき先行技術文献情報はない。   Such a conventional operation device includes a tact switch that can be turned on by operating the operation knob to form a predetermined electric circuit, and the tact switch forms a predetermined electric circuit, thereby allowing other operations of the industrial machine to be performed. (For example, the operation of changing the direction of the equipped scraper or performing a shift operation during traveling). In addition, since this prior art does not relate to the literature known invention, there is no prior art document information to be described.

しかしながら、上記従来の操作装置においては、操作ノブの操作によりオンし得るタクトスイッチを具備しているため、当該操作ノブのストローク(変位量)を大きく設定することができず、ストロークが小さすぎて操作性が悪化してしまうという問題があった。即ち、タクトスイッチは、その作動部が操作ノブの操作により押圧されて変位し、オンするよう構成されているのであるが、当該作動部の変位量は極めて小さく設定されているため、これに対応させて操作ノブのストローク(変位量)も小さくせざるを得ないのである。操作ノブのストロークが小さいと、十分な操作感を得ることができず、操作性が悪化してしまう。   However, since the conventional operation device includes a tact switch that can be turned on by operating the operation knob, the stroke (displacement amount) of the operation knob cannot be set large, and the stroke is too small. There was a problem that the operability deteriorated. In other words, the tact switch is configured such that its operating part is pressed and displaced by the operation of the operation knob, and is turned on. However, the displacement amount of the operating part is set to be extremely small. Therefore, the stroke (displacement amount) of the operation knob must be reduced. If the stroke of the operation knob is small, a sufficient operational feeling cannot be obtained and the operability is deteriorated.

一方、操作ノブのストロークを作動部の設定変位量(変位限界)以上に設定すると、当該操作ノブを強く押圧操作等した場合、タクトスイッチを破壊してしまう虞がある。特に、産業機械などの搭乗手段に配設された搭乗手段用操作装置においては、他の操作を行いながら操作される操作ノブが多く、操作感が十分に得られないことは操作性に著しく影響を及ぼしてしまうとともに、操作ノブのストロークを作動部の設定変位量(変位限界)以上に設定した場合であっても当該作動部の変位限界以上で強く押圧操作してしまうケースが多いと考えられる。   On the other hand, if the stroke of the operation knob is set to be greater than or equal to the set displacement amount (displacement limit) of the operating unit, the tact switch may be destroyed when the operation knob is strongly pressed. In particular, in boarding means operating devices arranged on boarding means such as industrial machines, there are many operation knobs that are operated while performing other operations, and the lack of sufficient operational feeling significantly affects operability. In many cases, even if the stroke of the operation knob is set to be greater than or equal to the set displacement amount (displacement limit) of the operating part, the operation is strongly pressed beyond the displacement limit of the operating part. .

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、操作ノブの操作感を十分に得ることができるとともに、タクトスイッチの破壊を回避することができる搭乗手段用操作装置を提供することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides an operating device for riding means that can sufficiently obtain an operation feeling of an operation knob and can avoid destruction of a tact switch. is there.

請求項1記載の発明は、搭乗手段に配設され、操作可能な操作ノブと、該操作ノブの操作で押圧されて変位する作動部を有し、該作動部の変位によりオンし得るタクトスイッチと、該タクトスイッチがオンすることにより所定の電気回路を形成し、搭乗手段又は搭乗手段が具備する装備を動作させ得る電気回路基板とを具備した搭乗手段用操作装置において、前記操作ノブの操作力を前記タクトスイッチの作動部に伝達して変位させるとともに、当該作動部がその変位限界を超えると、前記操作ノブの変位量を吸収し得る伝達手段を具備し、当該伝達手段は、前記タクトスイッチの作動部を押圧し得る第1操作部材と、前記操作ノブに形成されたフランジ部と当接して当該操作ノブの操作力を受け得る第2操作部材と、前記第1操作部材及び第2操作部材の間に介装された弾性部材とを有し、前記作動部がその変位限界を超えると前記弾性部材が圧縮して前記第2操作部材が第1操作部材に対して相対的に変位し、前記操作ノブの変位量を吸収するよう構成され、且つ、前記フランジ部には、前記操作ノブの周囲を覆って防水するための防水用ブーツが取り付けられたことを特徴とする。 The invention according to claim 1 is provided in the boarding means, and includes an operable operation knob, and an actuating portion that is pressed and displaced by operation of the operating knob, and can be turned on by displacement of the actuating portion. And an electric circuit board that forms a predetermined electric circuit when the tact switch is turned on and can operate the boarding means or the equipment included in the boarding means. with displacing and transmit force to the working portion of the tact switch and the actuating portion exceeds the displacement limit, comprising a transmission means capable of absorbing an amount of displacement of the operation knob, the transmission means, the tact A first operating member that can press the operating portion of the switch; a second operating member that abuts on a flange portion formed on the operating knob to receive operating force of the operating knob; the first operating member; An elastic member interposed between the two operating members, and when the operating portion exceeds a displacement limit, the elastic member compresses and the second operating member is relatively relative to the first operating member. It is configured to displace and absorb the displacement amount of the operation knob, and the flange portion is provided with a waterproof boot for covering the periphery of the operation knob and waterproofing .

請求項記載の発明は、請求項記載の搭乗手段用操作装置において、前記弾性部材は、一端が前記第1操作部材と当接しつつ他端が前記第2操作部材と当接したコイルスプリングから成り、当該コイルスプリングのバネ荷重が前記タクトスイッチの作動部に対する操作荷重より高く設定されたことを特徴とする。 According to a second aspect of the invention, the boarding unit operating device according to claim 1, wherein the elastic member has one end the first operating member abuts the other end while the second operating member and contact with the coil spring The spring load of the coil spring is set higher than the operation load on the operating part of the tact switch.

請求項記載の発明は、請求項1又は請求項2記載の搭乗手段用操作装置において、前記搭乗手段は、揺動操作により当該産業機械又は産業機械が具備する装備に対して所定の一の動作を行わせる操作レバーと、該操作レバーの突端側に形成されて作業者が把持して当該操作レバーを揺動操作させ得る把持部とを具備し、前記操作ノブが当該把持部に形成されてその操作により当該産業機械又は産業機械が具備する装備に対して所定の他の動作を行わせるものであることを特徴とする。 According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the riding means operating device according to the first or second aspect , the riding means has a predetermined one with respect to the industrial machine or equipment included in the industrial machine by a swinging operation. An operation lever for performing an operation, and a grip portion formed on a protruding end side of the operation lever that can be gripped by an operator to swing the operation lever, and the operation knob is formed in the grip portion. The operation is to cause the industrial machine or equipment included in the industrial machine to perform other predetermined operations.

請求項1の発明によれば、操作ノブの操作力を前記タクトスイッチの作動部に伝達して変位させるとともに、当該作動部がその変位限界を超えると、前記操作ノブの変位量を吸収し得る伝達手段を具備したので、操作ノブの操作感を十分に得ることができるとともに、タクトスイッチの破壊を回避することができる。即ち、伝達手段により、操作ノブの変位量をタクトスイッチにおける作動部の変位限界より大きく設定することができ、操作ノブの操作感を十分に得ることができるとともに、タクトスイッチの作動部の変位限界を超えると、当該操作ノブの変位を吸収してその操作力がタクトスイッチに伝達されないので、タクトスイッチの破壊が回避されるのである。   According to the first aspect of the present invention, the operating force of the operating knob is transmitted to the operating part of the tact switch and displaced, and when the operating part exceeds the displacement limit, the displacement amount of the operating knob can be absorbed. Since the transmission means is provided, it is possible to sufficiently obtain the operation feeling of the operation knob and to avoid the destruction of the tact switch. That is, the displacement of the operation knob can be set larger than the displacement limit of the operating portion of the tact switch by the transmission means, and the operation feeling of the operating knob can be sufficiently obtained, and the displacement limit of the operating portion of the tact switch can be obtained. Exceeding this causes the displacement of the operation knob to be absorbed, and the operation force is not transmitted to the tact switch, so that destruction of the tact switch is avoided.

さらに、タクトスイッチの作動部がその変位限界を超えると弾性部材が圧縮して第2操作部材が第1操作部材に対して相対的に変位し、操作ノブの変位量を吸収するので、当該第1操作部材、第2操作部材及び弾性部材を操作ノブとタクトスイッチとの間に介在させるという簡易な構成にて、操作ノブの操作感を十分に得ることができるとともに、タクトスイッチの破壊を回避することができる。 Furthermore , when the actuating portion of the tact switch exceeds the displacement limit, the elastic member is compressed and the second operating member is displaced relative to the first operating member and absorbs the displacement amount of the operating knob. With a simple configuration in which one operation member, second operation member, and elastic member are interposed between the operation knob and the tact switch, it is possible to obtain a sufficient feeling of operation of the operation knob and avoid destruction of the tact switch. can do.

請求項の発明によれば、コイルスプリングのバネ荷重がタクトスイッチの作動部に対する操作荷重より高く設定されたので、作動部の変位限界を超えるまで(操作荷重より小さい荷重による操作過程)は、コイルスプリングが圧縮されず、操作ノブの操作力をタクトスイッチの作動部に伝達して変位させるとともに、当該作動部がその変位限界を超えると、コイルスプリングが圧縮して操作ノブの変位量を吸収し得る。従って、タクトスイッチの作動部には、コイルスプリングのバネ荷重以上は付与されず、当該タクトスイッチの破壊を確実に回避することができる。 According to the invention of claim 2 , since the spring load of the coil spring is set higher than the operation load on the operating part of the tact switch, until the displacement limit of the operating part is exceeded (the operation process with a load smaller than the operating load) The coil spring is not compressed, and the operating force of the operating knob is transmitted to the operating part of the tact switch to displace it. When the operating part exceeds its displacement limit, the coil spring compresses and absorbs the displacement of the operating knob. Can do. Therefore, the actuating portion of the tact switch is not given more than the spring load of the coil spring, and destruction of the tact switch can be avoided reliably.

請求項の発明によれば、操作ノブが操作レバーの把持部に形成されてその操作により当該産業機械又は産業機械が具備する装備に対して所定の他の動作を行わせるものであるので、より請求項1〜請求項の発明の効果を顕著とすることができる。即ち、産業機械における操作レバーの把持部に操作ノブを形成した場合、当該操作レバーに対する揺動操作に加えて操作ノブの操作を行わせることから操作感を十分に持たせる必要があり、且つ、把持部に対する把持力を維持するため操作ノブをより強く操作することが多く、タクトスイッチの破壊を回避する必要があるため、これら必要性を十分に満たすことができるのである。 According to the invention of claim 3 , the operation knob is formed in the grip portion of the operation lever, and the operation causes the industrial machine or the equipment included in the industrial machine to perform a predetermined other operation. The effects of the inventions of claims 1 and 2 can be made more remarkable. That is, when the operation knob is formed in the grip portion of the operation lever in the industrial machine, it is necessary to give the operation feeling sufficiently because the operation knob is operated in addition to the swinging operation with respect to the operation lever, and In many cases, the operation knob is operated more strongly in order to maintain the gripping force with respect to the gripping portion, and it is necessary to avoid the destruction of the tact switch. Therefore, these needs can be sufficiently satisfied.

以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照しながら具体的に説明する。
本実施形態に係る搭乗手段用操作装置は、土木・建築の作業現場において使用されるブルドーザやパワーショベル、クレーン車などの産業機械(建機)に配設されたものであり、図1〜3に示すように、当該産業機械の運転席に配設された操作レバー1における突端側の把持部2に形成された操作ノブ4、18を有している。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.
The boarding means operating device according to the present embodiment is disposed in an industrial machine (construction machine) such as a bulldozer, a power shovel, or a crane truck used in a civil engineering / architecture work site. As shown in FIG. 2, the operation knobs 4 and 18 are formed on the grip portion 2 on the protruding end side of the operation lever 1 disposed in the driver's seat of the industrial machine.

操作レバー1は、基端(図中下端側)の揺動軸(不図示)を中心に揺動可能な管状部材2aと、該管状部材2aの外周を覆って形成されたコルゲートチューブ2bとから構成され、作業者が前後又は左右に揺動操作することにより当該産業機械又は産業機械が具備する装備に対して所定の一の動作(例えば、産業機械を走行或いは停止させ、旋回動作させ、又は装備したクレーンやショベルを動作させる等)を行わせ得るよう構成されている。   The operating lever 1 includes a tubular member 2a that can swing around a swing shaft (not shown) at the base end (lower end side in the figure), and a corrugated tube 2b that is formed to cover the outer periphery of the tubular member 2a. Configured, and when the operator swings back and forth or from side to side, the industrial machine or equipment included in the industrial machine has a predetermined operation (for example, the industrial machine travels or stops, swivels, or It is configured to be able to operate an installed crane or excavator.

把持部2は、内部に後述する電気回路基板5、12等を収容させ得る例えば樹脂成形品から成るもので、作業者が把持して操作レバー1を揺動操作し得るよう構成されたものである。かかる把持部2の正面側(運転席に着座する作業者に望んだ面側)、及びその反対面(背面側)には、把持部2を把持した作業者が指を延ばして操作し得る操作ノブ4、18(スイッチノブ)が形成されている。   The grip portion 2 is made of, for example, a resin molded product that can accommodate electric circuit boards 5, 12 and the like to be described later, and is configured so that an operator can grip and operate the operation lever 1 to swing. is there. On the front side (the side desired by the operator seated in the driver's seat) and the opposite side (back side) of the grip part 2, an operation that allows the operator holding the grip part 2 to operate by extending his / her finger Knobs 4 and 18 (switch knobs) are formed.

このうち、操作ノブ4は、作業者の親指を延ばして左右に揺動操作可能とされた所謂シーソー型のスイッチノブから成るものであり、図4、5に示すように、その周囲がブーツB1にて覆われて防水が図られつつケースC1に形成されている。また、操作ノブ4には、図6、7に示すように、左右それぞれにフランジ部4a、4bが形成されており、当該操作ノブ4の左右何れかの面を押圧操作することによりケースC1に形成された揺動軸Lを中心に揺動させると、フランジ部4a又は4bがケースC1内の伝達手段としての操作部Fa、Fbを選択的押圧するよう構成されている。   Of these, the operation knob 4 is a so-called seesaw type switch knob that can be swung left and right by extending the operator's thumb. As shown in FIGS. It is formed in the case C1 while being covered and waterproofed. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the operation knob 4 is formed with flange portions 4a and 4b on the left and right sides, respectively. By pressing the left or right surface of the operation knob 4, the case C1 is attached to the case C1. When the formed swing shaft L is swung around, the flange portion 4a or 4b is configured to selectively press the operation portions Fa and Fb as transmission means in the case C1.

操作部Faは、タクトスイッチ6aの作動部6aaを押圧し得る第1操作部材8aと、操作ノブ4(具体的には、そのフランジ部4a)と当接して当該操作ノブ4の操作力を受け得る第2操作部材9aと、これら第1操作部材8a及び第2操作部材9aの間に介装されたコイルスプリング10a(弾性部材)とから構成されており、図10に示すように、操作ノブ4が左側に揺動操作されてフランジ部4aが第2操作部材9aの頂部を押圧すると、その押圧力がコイルスプリング10aを介して第1操作部材8aに伝わり、タクトスイッチ6aのパッキン7aにおける被操作部7aaを押圧し得るようになっている。   The operation portion Fa is in contact with the first operation member 8a capable of pressing the operation portion 6aa of the tact switch 6a and the operation knob 4 (specifically, the flange portion 4a) and receives the operation force of the operation knob 4. And a coil spring 10a (elastic member) interposed between the first operation member 8a and the second operation member 9a. As shown in FIG. 4 is swung to the left and the flange portion 4a presses the top of the second operating member 9a, the pressing force is transmitted to the first operating member 8a via the coil spring 10a, and the tact switch 6a is covered with the packing 7a. The operation unit 7aa can be pressed.

コイルスプリング10aは、一端が第1操作部材8aと当接しつつ他端が第2操作部材9aと当接しており、当該コイルスプリング10aのバネ荷重がタクトスイッチ6aの作動部6aaに対する操作荷重(即ち、タクトスイッチ6a内に配設され、作動部6aaを元の位置まで戻すバネなどの付勢力)より高く設定されている。これにより、操作ノブ4による操作力が作動部6aaの操作荷重以下(限界変位量以下)であれば、コイルスプリング10aは圧縮されず、当該操作力でパッキン7aの被操作部7aaが押圧されることとなる。   The coil spring 10a has one end in contact with the first operation member 8a and the other end in contact with the second operation member 9a, and the spring load of the coil spring 10a is the operation load on the operating portion 6aa of the tact switch 6a (that is, The biasing force of a spring or the like disposed in the tact switch 6a and returning the operating portion 6aa to its original position is set higher. Thereby, if the operation force by the operation knob 4 is less than or equal to the operation load of the operating portion 6aa (less than the limit displacement amount), the coil spring 10a is not compressed, and the operated portion 7aa of the packing 7a is pressed by the operation force. It will be.

同様に、操作部Fbは、タクトスイッチ6bの作動部6baを押圧し得る第1操作部材8bと、操作ノブ4(具体的には、そのフランジ部4b)と当接して当該操作ノブ4の操作力を受け得る第2操作部材9bと、これら第1操作部材8b及び第2操作部材9bの間に介装されたコイルスプリング10b(弾性部材)とから構成されており、操作ノブ4が右側に揺動操作されてフランジ部4bが第2操作部材9bの頂部を押圧すると、その押圧力がコイルスプリング10bを介して第1操作部材8bに伝わり、タクトスイッチ6bのパッキン7bにおける被操作部7baを押圧し得るようになっている。   Similarly, the operation portion Fb abuts on the first operation member 8b that can press the operation portion 6ba of the tact switch 6b and the operation knob 4 (specifically, the flange portion 4b) to operate the operation knob 4. It comprises a second operating member 9b capable of receiving force, and a coil spring 10b (elastic member) interposed between the first operating member 8b and the second operating member 9b, and the operation knob 4 is on the right side. When the swinging operation is performed and the flange portion 4b presses the top of the second operating member 9b, the pressing force is transmitted to the first operating member 8b via the coil spring 10b, and the operated portion 7ba in the packing 7b of the tact switch 6b is transmitted. It can be pressed.

コイルスプリング10bは、コイルスプリング10aと同様、一端が第1操作部材8bと当接しつつ他端が第2操作部材9bと当接しており、当該コイルスプリング10bのバネ荷重がタクトスイッチ6bの作動部6baに対する操作荷重(即ち、タクトスイッチ6b内に配設され、作動部6baを元の位置まで戻すバネなどの付勢力)より高く設定されている。これにより、操作ノブ4による操作力が作動部6baの操作荷重以下(限界変位量以下)であれば、コイルスプリング10bは圧縮されず、当該操作力でパッキン7bの被操作部7baが押圧されることとなる。   Similarly to the coil spring 10a, the coil spring 10b has one end in contact with the first operating member 8b and the other end in contact with the second operating member 9b. The spring load of the coil spring 10b is the operating portion of the tact switch 6b. It is set higher than the operation load on 6ba (that is, an urging force such as a spring disposed in the tact switch 6b and returning the operating portion 6ba to its original position). Thereby, if the operation force by the operation knob 4 is less than or equal to the operation load of the operating portion 6ba (less than the limit displacement amount), the coil spring 10b is not compressed, and the operated portion 7ba of the packing 7b is pressed by the operation force. It will be.

パッキン7a、7bは、軟質樹脂又は合成ゴム等から成るもので、それぞれがタクトスイッチ6a、6bを覆って防水し得るよう構成されたものであり、上述したように各頂部中央に形成された被操作部7aa、7baが第1操作部材8a、8bにて押圧されると弾性変形し、内部のタクトスイッチ6a、6bの作動部6aa、6baを押圧操作して当該タクトスイッチ6a、6bをオンし得るようになっている。即ち、操作ノブ4が左右何れに揺動操作されたのかは、タクトスイッチ6a、6bの何れがオンしたのかにより把握可能とされているのである。   The packings 7a and 7b are made of soft resin or synthetic rubber, and are configured so as to cover the tact switches 6a and 6b and be waterproof, respectively. When the operating portions 7aa and 7ba are pressed by the first operating members 8a and 8b, they are elastically deformed, and the operating portions 6aa and 6ba of the internal tact switches 6a and 6b are pressed to turn on the tact switches 6a and 6b. To get. That is, it can be grasped which of the tact switches 6a and 6b is turned on whether the operation knob 4 is swung to the left or right.

ここで、本実施形態においては、伝達手段としての操作部Fa、Fbが操作ノブ4の操作力をタクトスイッチ6a、6bの作動部6aa、6baに伝達して変位させるとともに、当該作動部6aa、6baがその変位限界を超えると(即ち、操作ノブ4による操作力が作動部6baの操作荷重以上となると)、操作ノブ4の変位量を吸収し得るようになっている。   Here, in the present embodiment, the operation portions Fa and Fb as transmission means transmit the operation force of the operation knob 4 to the operation portions 6aa and 6ba of the tact switches 6a and 6b to displace them, and the operation portions 6aa and 6aa, When 6ba exceeds the displacement limit (that is, when the operation force by the operation knob 4 exceeds the operation load of the operating portion 6ba), the displacement amount of the operation knob 4 can be absorbed.

すなわち、操作ノブ4が図10で示す状態から更に揺動操作されることにより、作動部6aaがその変位限界を超えると(操作ノブ4による操作力が作動部6baの操作荷重以上となると)、図11で示すように、コイルスプリング10aが圧縮して第2操作部材9aが第1操作部材8aに対して相対的に変位し、操作ノブ4の変位量を吸収することにより、タクトスイッチ6aの作動部6aaに操作ノブ4の操作力が伝達されないよう構成されているのである。尚、コイルスプリング10bの作用についても同様である。   That is, when the operating knob 4 is further swung from the state shown in FIG. 10 and the operating portion 6aa exceeds the displacement limit (when the operating force by the operating knob 4 exceeds the operating load of the operating portion 6ba). As shown in FIG. 11, the coil spring 10 a is compressed and the second operation member 9 a is displaced relative to the first operation member 8 a to absorb the displacement amount of the operation knob 4. The operation force of the operation knob 4 is not transmitted to the operation part 6aa. The same applies to the action of the coil spring 10b.

上記構成により、操作ノブ4の揺動操作による変位量をタクトスイッチにおける作動部の変位限界より大きく設定することができ、操作ノブ4の操作感を十分に得ることができるとともに、タクトスイッチ6a、6bの作動部6aa、6baの変位限界を超えると、操作部Fa、Fbが当該操作ノブ4の変位を吸収してその操作力がタクトスイッチ6a、6bに伝達されないので、タクトスイッチ6a、6bの破壊を回避することができる。   With the above configuration, the amount of displacement due to the swinging operation of the operation knob 4 can be set larger than the displacement limit of the operating portion of the tact switch, and the operation feeling of the operation knob 4 can be sufficiently obtained, and the tact switch 6a, When the displacement limit of the operation portions 6aa and 6ba of 6b is exceeded, the operation portions Fa and Fb absorb the displacement of the operation knob 4 and the operation force is not transmitted to the tact switches 6a and 6b. Destruction can be avoided.

また、コイルスプリング10a、10bが圧縮して第2操作部材9a、9bが第1操作部材8a、8bに対して相対的に変位した後、当該第2操作部材9a、9bは、図11に示すように、ケースC1に形成された段部に当接するようになっている。これにより、コイルスプリング10a、10bの圧縮限界を超えて更に操作ノブ4が変位し、タクトスイッチ6a、6bの作動部6aa、6baを押圧してしまうのを回避できる。   Further, after the coil springs 10a and 10b are compressed and the second operation members 9a and 9b are displaced relative to the first operation members 8a and 8b, the second operation members 9a and 9b are shown in FIG. Thus, it contacts the step formed in the case C1. Thereby, it can avoid that the operation knob 4 further displaces exceeding the compression limit of the coil springs 10a and 10b, and presses the operation parts 6aa and 6ba of the tact switches 6a and 6b.

然るに、操作ノブ4に対する押圧操作を止めて作業者が当該操作ノブ4から指を離すと、コイルスプリング10a又は10bが復元して第2操作部材9a、9bが第1操作部材8aaに対して相対的に移動し、元の位置まで戻るとともに、タクトスイッチ6a、6b内に配設されて作動部6aa、6baを元の位置まで戻すバネなどの復元手段(不図示)による付勢力、及び弾性変形されたパッキン7a、7bの復元力により操作ノブ4が初期位置(左右何れにも揺動していない状態)まで戻されることとなる。   However, when the pressing operation on the operation knob 4 is stopped and the operator releases the finger from the operation knob 4, the coil spring 10a or 10b is restored, and the second operation members 9a and 9b are relative to the first operation member 8aa. Urging force by a restoring means (not shown) such as a spring disposed in the tact switch 6a, 6b and returning the operating portion 6aa, 6ba to the original position, and elastic deformation The operating knob 4 is returned to the initial position (the state where it is not swung to the left or right) by the restoring force of the packings 7a and 7b.

尚、第1操作部材8aには、図7に示すように、その周面から側方向に一対の鍔部8aaが延設されており、かかる鍔部8aaをケースC1側で支持させることにより操作部Fa全体の抜け止めを図っている。また、第2操作部材9aの胴部は、図8で示すように、異形状(一方向に突出形状を有したもの)とされており、ケースC1に形成されてこの胴部と対応した形状の挿通孔C1a(図6参照)に当該第2操作部材9aを挿通させることにより、操作部Fa全体の回転止めが図られている。かかる構成については、操作部Fbについても同様であり、更には後述する操作部Fcについても同様である。   As shown in FIG. 7, the first operating member 8a is provided with a pair of flanges 8aa extending in the lateral direction from the circumferential surface thereof, and the first operating member 8a is operated by supporting the flanges 8aa on the case C1 side. The whole part Fa is prevented from coming off. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the body portion of the second operation member 9a has a different shape (having a protruding shape in one direction), and is formed in the case C1 and has a shape corresponding to this body portion. By rotating the second operation member 9a through the insertion hole C1a (see FIG. 6), rotation of the entire operation portion Fa is stopped. About this structure, it is the same also about the operation part Fb, Furthermore, it is the same also about the operation part Fc mentioned later.

更に、把持部3内に形成されたケースC1内には、電気回路基板5が配設されている。かかる電気回路基板5には、図9に示すように、電気回路を構成する配線Kがプリントされるとともにタクトスイッチ6a、6bが配設されており、産業機械本体側に配設された制御手段(例えばECUなど)とハーネスHを介して電気的に接続可能とされている。しかして、かかる電機回路基板5は、操作ノブ4の揺動操作に対応して所定の電気回路を形成し、産業機械又は産業機械が具備する装備に対して所定の他の動作(操作レバー1に対する揺動操作による動作とは異なるもので、例えば産業機械が具備するスクレーパの向きを変更させる動作等)を行わせ得るよう構成されている。   Further, an electric circuit board 5 is disposed in the case C1 formed in the grip portion 3. As shown in FIG. 9, wiring K constituting the electric circuit is printed on the electric circuit board 5 and tact switches 6a and 6b are arranged. Control means arranged on the industrial machine main body side. (For example, ECU etc.) and the harness H can be electrically connected. Thus, the electric circuit board 5 forms a predetermined electric circuit corresponding to the swinging operation of the operation knob 4 and performs other predetermined operations (operation lever 1) with respect to the industrial machine or the equipment included in the industrial machine. For example, an operation for changing the direction of the scraper included in the industrial machine).

具体的には、電気回路基板5の表面(上面)には、配線K及びタクトスイッチ6a、6bが形成されており、図15で示す如き電気回路を構成している。即ち、産業機械が搭載するバッテリ等から成る電源から延設された配線L1と、該配線L1から分岐してタクトスイッチ6a、6bが接続された配線L2、L3とを有し、タクトスイッチ6aがオンすると、配線L1、L2を電流が流れる所定の回路が形成されて、例えば産業機械が具備するスクレーパを左側へ向ける一方、タクトスイッチ6bがオンすると、配線L1、L3を電流が流れる所定の回路が形成されて、例えば同スクレーパを右側へ向けるようになっている。   Specifically, wiring K and tact switches 6a and 6b are formed on the surface (upper surface) of the electric circuit board 5 to constitute an electric circuit as shown in FIG. That is, it has a wiring L1 extending from a power source composed of a battery or the like mounted on an industrial machine, and wirings L2 and L3 branched from the wiring L1 and connected to tact switches 6a and 6b. When turned on, a predetermined circuit through which current flows through the wirings L1 and L2 is formed. For example, a scraper provided in an industrial machine is turned to the left side, and when the tact switch 6b is turned on, a predetermined circuit through which current flows through the wirings L1 and L3. For example, the scraper is directed to the right side.

尚、電気回路基板5の裏面(下面)には過電流保護素子11が形成されている。かかる過電流保護素子11は、所謂ポリスイッチ(ポリマ系のPTCサ−ミスタ)から成るデバイスを指し、過電流による温度の上昇により抵抗値が増大し回路電流を制限して過電流を抑制し得るとともに、当該抵抗値変化が可逆性とされて当該温度の低下により元の抵抗値に戻り回路電流の制限が解除され得る(自己復帰し得る)よう構成されたものである。   An overcurrent protection element 11 is formed on the back surface (lower surface) of the electric circuit board 5. The overcurrent protection element 11 refers to a device composed of a so-called polyswitch (polymer PTC thermistor), and the resistance value increases due to a temperature rise due to overcurrent, and the circuit current can be limited to suppress the overcurrent. At the same time, the change in the resistance value is made reversible so that the original resistance value can be returned to the original resistance value due to the decrease in temperature, and the circuit current limitation can be released (self-recovery can be performed).

一方、操作ノブ18は、図3に示すように、作業者の人差し指又は中指を延ばして押圧操作可能とされた所謂プッシュ型のスイッチノブから成るものであり、操作ノブ4と同様、その周囲がブーツB2にて覆われて防水が図られつつケースC2に形成されている。また、操作ノブ18には、図12に示すように、フランジ部18aが形成されており、当該操作ノブ18の表面を押圧操作することによりケースC側へ没入動作し、当該ケースC2内の伝達手段としての操作部Fcを押圧するよう構成されている。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the operation knob 18 is a so-called push-type switch knob that can be pressed by extending the index finger or middle finger of the operator. It is formed in the case C2 while being covered with the boot B2 and being waterproofed. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the operation knob 18 is formed with a flange portion 18a. By pressing the surface of the operation knob 18, the operation knob 18 is immersed in the case C, and the transmission in the case C2 is performed. It is comprised so that the operation part Fc as a means may be pressed.

操作部Fcは、タクトスイッチ13の作動部13aを押圧し得る第1操作部材15と、操作ノブ18(具体的には、そのフランジ部18a)と当接して当該操作ノブ18の操作力を受け得る第2操作部材16と、これら第1操作部材15及び第2操作部材16の間に介装された弾性部材としてのコイルスプリング17とから構成されており、図13に示すように、操作ノブ18が没入動作してフランジ部18aが第2操作部材16の頂部を押圧すると、その押圧力がコイルスプリング17を介して第1操作部材15に伝わり、タクトスイッチ13のパッキン14における被操作部14aを押圧し得るようになっている。   The operation portion Fc contacts the first operation member 15 that can press the operation portion 13a of the tact switch 13 and the operation knob 18 (specifically, the flange portion 18a) and receives the operation force of the operation knob 18. And a coil spring 17 as an elastic member interposed between the first operation member 15 and the second operation member 16, and an operation knob as shown in FIG. When the flange 18 a presses the top of the second operation member 16 by the immersion operation 18, the pressing force is transmitted to the first operation member 15 via the coil spring 17, and the operated portion 14 a in the packing 14 of the tact switch 13. Can be pressed.

コイルスプリング17は、一端が第1操作部材15と当接しつつ他端が第2操作部材16と当接しており、当該コイルスプリング17のバネ荷重がタクトスイッチ13の作動部13aに対する操作荷重(即ち、タクトスイッチ13内に配設され、作動部13aを元の位置まで戻すバネなどの付勢力)より高く設定されている。これにより、操作ノブ18による操作力が作動部13aの操作荷重以下(限界変位量以下)であれば、コイルスプリング17は圧縮されず、当該操作力でパッキン14の被操作部14aが押圧されることとなる。   The coil spring 17 has one end in contact with the first operation member 15 and the other end in contact with the second operation member 16, and the spring load of the coil spring 17 is an operation load on the operating portion 13 a of the tact switch 13 (that is, The biasing force of a spring or the like disposed in the tact switch 13 and returning the operating portion 13a to the original position is set higher. Thereby, if the operation force by the operation knob 18 is less than or equal to the operation load of the operating portion 13a (less than the limit displacement amount), the coil spring 17 is not compressed, and the operated portion 14a of the packing 14 is pressed by the operation force. It will be.

パッキン14は、軟質樹脂又は合成ゴム等から成るもので、タクトスイッチ13を覆って防水し得るよう構成されたものであり、上述したように頂部中央に形成された被操作部14aが第1操作部材15にて押圧されると弾性変形し、内部のタクトスイッチ13の作動部13aを押圧操作して当該タクトスイッチ13をオンし得るようになっている。即ち、操作ノブ18が押圧操作されたか否かは、タクトスイッチ13がオンしたことにより把握可能とされているのである。   The packing 14 is made of soft resin, synthetic rubber, or the like, and is configured to cover the tact switch 13 so as to be waterproof. As described above, the operated portion 14a formed at the center of the top is the first operation. When pressed by the member 15, it is elastically deformed, and the tact switch 13 can be turned on by pressing the operating portion 13 a of the internal tact switch 13. That is, whether or not the operation knob 18 has been pressed can be grasped by turning on the tact switch 13.

ここで、操作部Fa、Fbと同様、伝達手段としての操作部Fcが操作ノブ18の操作力をタクトスイッチ13の作動部13aに伝達して変位させるとともに、当該作動部13aがその変位限界を超えると(即ち、操作ノブ18による操作力が作動部13aの操作荷重以上となると)、操作ノブ4の変位量を吸収し得るようになっている。すなわち、操作ノブ18が図13で示す状態から更に押圧操作されることにより、作動部13aがその変位限界を超えると、図14で示すように、コイルスプリング17が圧縮して第2操作部材16が第1操作部材15に対して相対的に変位し、操作ノブ18の変位量を吸収することにより、タクトスイッチ13の作動部13aに操作ノブ18の操作力が伝達されないよう構成されているのである。   Here, as with the operation units Fa and Fb, the operation unit Fc serving as a transmission means transmits the operation force of the operation knob 18 to the operation unit 13a of the tact switch 13 and displaces the operation unit 13a. If it exceeds (that is, if the operating force by the operating knob 18 becomes greater than or equal to the operating load of the operating portion 13a), the displacement amount of the operating knob 4 can be absorbed. That is, when the operation knob 18 is further pressed from the state shown in FIG. 13 and the operating portion 13a exceeds the displacement limit, the coil spring 17 is compressed and the second operation member 16 is compressed as shown in FIG. Is displaced relative to the first operating member 15 and absorbs the amount of displacement of the operating knob 18, so that the operating force of the operating knob 18 is not transmitted to the actuating portion 13 a of the tact switch 13. is there.

上記構成により、操作ノブ18の押圧操作による変位量をタクトスイッチにおける作動部の変位限界より大きく設定することができ、操作ノブ18の操作感を十分に得ることができるとともに、タクトスイッチ13の作動部13aの変位限界を超えると、操作部Fcが当該操作ノブ18の変位を吸収してその操作力がタクトスイッチ13に伝達されないので、タクトスイッチ13の破壊を回避することができる。   With the above configuration, the displacement amount due to the pressing operation of the operation knob 18 can be set to be larger than the displacement limit of the operating portion in the tact switch, and the operation feeling of the operation knob 18 can be sufficiently obtained, and the operation of the tact switch 13 can be obtained. When the displacement limit of the portion 13a is exceeded, the operation portion Fc absorbs the displacement of the operation knob 18 and the operation force is not transmitted to the tact switch 13, so that the tact switch 13 can be prevented from being broken.

また、コイルスプリング17が圧縮して第2操作部材16が第1操作部材15に対して相対的に変位した後、操作ノブ18のフランジ部18aは、図14に示すように、ケースC1に形成された段部に当接するようになっている。これにより、コイルスプリング17の圧縮限界を超えて更に操作ノブ18が変位してしまうのを防止し、タクトスイッチ13の作動部13aを押圧してしまうのを回避できる。 Further, after the coil spring 17 is compressed and the second operation member 16 is displaced relative to the first operation member 15, the flange portion 18a of the operation knob 18 is formed in the case C1, as shown in FIG. It contacts the stepped portion. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the operation knob 18 from being further displaced beyond the compression limit of the coil spring 17 and to avoid pressing the operating portion 13a of the tact switch 13.

然るに、操作ノブ18に対する押圧操作を止めて作業者が当該操作ノブ18から指を離すと、コイルスプリング17が復元して第2操作部材16が第1操作部材15に対して相対的に移動し、元の位置まで戻るとともに、タクトスイッチ13内に配設されて作動部13aを元の位置まで戻すバネなどの復元手段(不図示)による付勢力、及び弾性変形されたパッキン14の復元力により操作ノブ18が初期位置(ケースC2に対して突出し、押圧操作が可能とされた状態)まで戻されることとなる。   However, when the pressing operation on the operation knob 18 is stopped and the operator releases the finger from the operation knob 18, the coil spring 17 is restored and the second operation member 16 moves relative to the first operation member 15. By the biasing force by a restoring means (not shown) such as a spring which is disposed in the tact switch 13 and returns the operating portion 13a to the original position, and the restoring force of the elastically deformed packing 14 is returned to the original position. The operation knob 18 is returned to the initial position (a state where the operation knob 18 protrudes from the case C2 and can be pressed).

更に、把持部3内に形成されたケースC2内には、電気回路基板12が配設されている。かかる電気回路基板12には、ケースC1内の電気回路基板5と同様、電気回路を構成する配線がプリントされるとともにタクトスイッチ13が配設されており、産業機械本体側に配設された制御手段(例えばECUなど)とハーネスHを介して電気的に接続可能とされている。しかして、かかる電気回路基板12は、操作ノブ18の押圧操作に対応して所定の電気回路を形成し、産業機械又は産業機械が具備する装備に対して所定の他の動作(操作レバー1及び操作ノブ4に対する操作による動作とは異なるもので、例えば産業機械の走行時の変速等)を行わせ得るよう構成されている。   Further, an electric circuit board 12 is disposed in the case C2 formed in the grip portion 3. Similar to the electric circuit board 5 in the case C1, the electric circuit board 12 is printed with wiring constituting the electric circuit and provided with a tact switch 13, and is disposed on the industrial machine main body side. It can be electrically connected to the means (for example, ECU) via the harness H. Thus, the electric circuit board 12 forms a predetermined electric circuit in response to the pressing operation of the operation knob 18, and performs other predetermined operations (the operation lever 1 and the operation lever 1 and the equipment included in the industrial machine). This is different from the operation by operating the operation knob 4, and is configured to allow, for example, shifting during traveling of an industrial machine.

具体的には、電気回路基板12には、図15に示すように、ケースC1内の電気回路基板5に形成された配線L3から分岐させた配線L4が形成されており、タクトスイッチ13がオンすると、配線L1、L4を流れる所定の回路が形成されて、例えば産業機械が具備する変速装置を制御してシフトアップ又はシフトダウンさせ得るようになっている。しかして、タクトスイッチ13がオンすることにより形成される所定の回路には、過電流保護素子11が直列に接続されており、当該過電流保護素子11を共用させている。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the electric circuit board 12 is provided with a wiring L4 branched from the wiring L3 formed on the electric circuit board 5 in the case C1, and the tact switch 13 is turned on. Then, a predetermined circuit flowing through the wirings L1 and L4 is formed, and, for example, a transmission provided in the industrial machine can be controlled to shift up or down. Thus, an overcurrent protection element 11 is connected in series to a predetermined circuit formed when the tact switch 13 is turned on, and the overcurrent protection element 11 is shared.

本実施形態によれば、タクトスイッチの作動部がその変位限界を超えると弾性部材が圧縮して第2操作部材が第1操作部材に対して相対的に変位し、操作ノブの変位量を吸収するので、当該第1操作部材、第2操作部材及び弾性部材を操作ノブとタクトスイッチとの間に介在させるという簡易な構成にて、操作ノブの操作感を十分に得ることができるとともに、タクトスイッチの破壊を回避することができる。   According to this embodiment, when the operating portion of the tact switch exceeds the displacement limit, the elastic member is compressed and the second operation member is displaced relative to the first operation member, and the displacement amount of the operation knob is absorbed. Therefore, with a simple configuration in which the first operation member, the second operation member, and the elastic member are interposed between the operation knob and the tact switch, the operation feeling of the operation knob can be sufficiently obtained. The destruction of the switch can be avoided.

また、弾性部材としてのコイルスプリングのバネ荷重がタクトスイッチの作動部に対する操作荷重より高く設定されたので、作動部の変位限界を超えるまで(操作荷重より小さい荷重による操作過程)は、コイルスプリングが圧縮されず、操作ノブの操作力をタクトスイッチの作動部に伝達して変位させるとともに、当該作動部がその変位限界を超えると、コイルスプリングが圧縮して操作ノブの変位量を吸収し得る。従って、タクトスイッチの作動部には、コイルスプリングのバネ荷重以上は付与されず、当該タクトスイッチの破壊を確実に回避することができる。   Further, since the spring load of the coil spring as the elastic member is set higher than the operation load on the actuating part of the tact switch, the coil spring is not operated until the displacement limit of the actuating part is exceeded (the operation process with a load smaller than the operation load). Without being compressed, the operating force of the operating knob is transmitted to the actuating portion of the tact switch to be displaced, and when the operating portion exceeds the displacement limit, the coil spring can be compressed to absorb the displacement amount of the operating knob. Therefore, the actuating portion of the tact switch is not given more than the spring load of the coil spring, and destruction of the tact switch can be avoided reliably.

更に、操作ノブが操作レバーの把持部に形成されてその操作により当該産業機械又は産業機械が具備する装備に対して所定の他の動作を行わせるものであるので、より上記効果を顕著とすることができる。即ち、産業機械における操作レバー1の把持部3に操作ノブを形成した場合、当該操作レバー1に対する揺動操作に加えて操作ノブの操作を行わせることから操作感を十分に持たせる必要があり、且つ、把持部3に対する把持力を維持するため操作ノブをより強く操作することが多く、タクトスイッチの破壊を回避する必要があるため、これら必要性を十分に満たすことができるのである。   Furthermore, the operation knob is formed in the grip portion of the operation lever, and the operation causes the industrial machine or the equipment included in the industrial machine to perform a predetermined other operation. be able to. That is, when the operation knob is formed on the grip portion 3 of the operation lever 1 in the industrial machine, the operation knob is operated in addition to the swinging operation with respect to the operation lever 1, so that it is necessary to have a sufficient operational feeling. In addition, the operation knob is often operated more strongly in order to maintain the gripping force with respect to the gripping portion 3, and it is necessary to avoid the destruction of the tact switch, so that these needs can be satisfied sufficiently.

以上、本実施形態について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されず、例えば産業機械に代えて他の搭乗手段(自動車、二輪車等の車両や小型船舶、スノーモービル等)の操作装置に適用してもよい。また、操作ノブの操作力をタクトスイッチの作動部に伝達して変位させるとともに、当該作動部がその変位限界を超えると、操作ノブの変位量を吸収し得る伝達手段は、本実施形態の操作部Fa、Fbの如きものに限定されず、種々形態のものとすることができる。 Although the present embodiment has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention is applied to an operation device for other boarding means (vehicles such as automobiles, motorcycles, small ships, snowmobiles, etc.) instead of industrial machines. May be. Further, the transmission means that transmits the operating force of the operating knob to the actuating portion of the tact switch and displaces it and can absorb the displacement amount of the operating knob when the operating portion exceeds the displacement limit is the operating means of this embodiment. The present invention is not limited to the parts Fa and Fb, and various forms can be adopted.

また、本実施形態の如く揺動操作可能な操作レバーに適用した場合、当該操作レバーの把持部に操作ノブが1つ形成されたもの、或いは3つ以上形成されたものに適用してもよい。操作ノブの形態は、本実施形態の如くシーソー型或いはプッシュ型のものに限らず、変位により操作可能なもの(例えばスライド型等のスイッチノブ)としてもよい。更に、操作ノブによる操作に基づいて行われる動作は、本実施形態の如き動作に限定されず、搭乗手段又は搭乗手段が具備する装備の動作であれば他の動作であってもよい。本実施形態の如く産業機械に適用する場合、例えばブルドーザ、スクレープドーザ、油圧ショベル(バックホー、パワーショベルなど)、クレーン装置付トラックなど種々のものに適用可能である。   Further, when applied to an operation lever that can be swung as in the present embodiment, the present invention may be applied to one in which one operation knob is formed on the gripping portion of the operation lever, or three or more formed. . The form of the operation knob is not limited to the seesaw type or the push type as in the present embodiment, but may be one that can be operated by displacement (for example, a switch knob such as a slide type). Furthermore, the operation performed based on the operation by the operation knob is not limited to the operation as in the present embodiment, and may be other operations as long as the operation is performed by the boarding means or the equipment included in the boarding means. When applied to an industrial machine as in the present embodiment, it can be applied to various types such as a bulldozer, a scrape dozer, a hydraulic excavator (backhoe, power excavator, etc.), a truck with a crane device, and the like.

操作ノブの操作力を前記タクトスイッチの作動部に伝達して変位させるとともに、当該作動部がその変位限界を超えると、操作ノブの変位量を吸収し得る伝達手段を具備し、当該伝達手段は、タクトスイッチの作動部を押圧し得る第1操作部材と、操作ノブに形成されたフランジ部と当接して当該操作ノブの操作力を受け得る第2操作部材と、第1操作部材及び第2操作部材の間に介装された弾性部材とを有し、作動部がその変位限界を超えると弾性部材が圧縮して第2操作部材が第1操作部材に対して相対的に変位し、操作ノブの変位量を吸収するよう構成され、且つ、フランジ部には、操作ノブの周囲を覆って防水するための防水用ブーツが取り付けられた搭乗手段用操作装置であれば、外観形状が異なるもの或いは他の機能が付加されたもの等にも適用することができる。 The operating force of the operating knob causes displacement is transmitted to the working portion of the tact switch and the actuating portion exceeds the displacement limit, comprising a transmission means capable of absorbing the displacement of the operation knob, the transmission means The first operating member that can press the operating part of the tact switch, the second operating member that can contact the flange formed on the operating knob and receive the operating force of the operating knob, the first operating member and the second An elastic member interposed between the operation members, and when the operating portion exceeds the displacement limit, the elastic member compresses and the second operation member is displaced relative to the first operation member, If it is configured to absorb the amount of displacement of the knob, and the operating device for the riding means is provided with a waterproof boot for covering the periphery of the operating knob and waterproofing the flange , the appearance shape is different. Or other functions are added It can be applied to things like.
