Description

  The present invention relates to an operating device in which a sensor is mounted on a substrate.

  At present, a resistive film type or a capacitance type panel is mainly used for the touch panel, but there is a problem that the transmittance decreases when a conductive resistive film or the like is used. It is also difficult to make a free-form surface with design. In order to solve these problems, a touch panel using a strain sensor and a pressure sensor has attracted attention. The idea of realizing touch sensing by arranging pressure and strain detection type sensors at several locations outside the information display panel has also been proposed.

JP-A-5-215624 JP 2005-3494 A

Board mounted sensors generally have a low load resistance and little displacement. Also, when a large load is applied, it is difficult to install the stopper. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 10A, when the sensor 101 is placed on the substrate 100 and the touch panel 102 is placed on the sensor 101, the sensor is pressed when the user presses the touch panel 102. Although a load is applied to 101, if an excessive load is applied, there is a problem that the sensor easily deteriorates and breaks in the worst case as shown in FIG.
Therefore, an operating device is provided that can suppress deterioration of the sensor.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the strain or pressure detection sensor is engaged with the touch panel at the engaging portion which is a part of the touch panel, so that the operation on the operation surface can be performed at the strain or pressure at the engaging portion. Is detected. The support portion is provided at a position closer to the center of the operation surface than the engagement portion, and supports the operation surface of the touch panel in an upward direction and / or a downward direction.

When the user operates the operation surface of the touch panel, a pressing force is applied to the operation surface. The engaging portion where the touch panel engages with the sensor acts in a direction opposite to the pressing direction of the user with the support portion as a fulcrum. When the force in the reverse direction acts on the engaging portion, the load applied to the sensor is reduced, and the reduction amount of the load can be detected by the sensor. Thereby, the possibility that an excessive load is applied to the sensor is reduced, and the possibility that the sensor is deteriorated can be suppressed as much as possible. Further, it is preferable that the support shaft is sandwiched between the touch panel and the substrate.
In addition, since the pressing portion presses the touch panel downward on the touch panel and is disposed outside the touch panel operation surface and directly above the support shaft on the operation surface center side, The force in the reverse direction applied to the part is not pressed by the pressing part, and the engaging part and the corner part of the touch panel can be freely displaced, and the detection accuracy of the sensor can be improved.
Further, as in the third aspect of the present invention, the support portion is sandwiched between the touch panel and the substrate and is located closer to the operation surface center side than the arrangement position of the plurality of sensors, and has a fulcrum that is oblique to the side portion of the touch panel. May be.

  According to invention of Claim 2, a touch panel is arrange | positioned on the board | substrate through the information display panel, and is provided with the operation surface. The plurality of sensors are arranged on the substrate, and are arranged at positions corresponding to the corners of the touch panel to detect an operation on the operation surface as distortion or pressure at the positions corresponding to the corners. The support unit is located closer to the center of the operation surface than the positions where the plurality of sensors are arranged, and supports the touch panel in an upward direction and / or a downward direction with respect to the operation surface.

When the user operates the operation surface of the touch panel, a pressing force is applied to the center side of the touch panel. The corner of the touch panel acts in the direction opposite to the user's pressing direction with the support portion as a fulcrum. The sensors are respectively arranged at the corners of the touch panel. However, when the force in the reverse direction is applied to the corners of the touch panel, the load is reduced, and the reduction amount of the load can be detected by the sensor. Thereby, the possibility that an excessive load is applied to the sensor is reduced, and the possibility that the sensor is deteriorated can be suppressed as much as possible. Further, it is preferable that the support shaft is sandwiched between the touch panel and the substrate.
In addition, since the pressing portion presses the touch panel downward on the touch panel and is disposed outside the touch panel operation surface and directly above the support shaft on the operation surface center side, The force in the reverse direction applied to the part is not pressed by the pressing part, and the engaging part and the corner part of the touch panel can be freely displaced, and the detection accuracy of the sensor can be improved.
Further, as in the invention described in claim 4, the support portion is sandwiched between the touch panel and the substrate and is located closer to the center of the operation surface than the arrangement position of the plurality of sensors, and has a fulcrum oblique to the side portion of the touch panel. May be.

In particular, as in the fifth aspect of the invention, if the pressing portion is disposed immediately above the support shaft, the touch panel is gripped in the vertical direction by the support shaft and the pressing portion. Stabilizes in the vertical direction.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, since the support portion is provided along a tangent line in contact with the corner portion of the information display panel, the support portion can be arranged while improving the information display area of the information display panel. And since a support part is installed in the position far from the engaging part and corner | angular part of a touch panel, the displacement amount of the engaging part of a touch panel on a sensor and a corner | angular part can be increased, and the detection accuracy by a sensor can be improved.

As in the invention of claim 7, the support portion may when being arranged in a straight line inclined at a range of 30 to 60 degrees with respect to sides of the rectangular touch panel as in the invention according to claim 8 In particular, it is desirable to arrange them in a straight line inclined at 45 degrees. Then, the pressing force can be accurately transmitted to the sensor. In addition, as in the ninth aspect of the present invention, the support shaft may have a cross-sectional shape of any one of a semicircular shape, a wedge shape, and a square shape.

As in the inventions according to claims 10 and 11 , the support portion may be configured to support the touch panel in an upward direction by adsorbing or adhering from the upper side. Moreover, since the burden with respect to a delicate sensor is reduced, it is suitable also for the vehicle-mounted use which needs to endure excessive vibration like the invention of Claim 12 .

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the main part of the operating device, and FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the structure of the main part of the operating device. FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 3 after assembling various components.

  The operating device 1 is configured for a vehicle navigation device, and is mounted on a substrate (printed wiring substrate) 2 as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the characteristic part of the operating device 1 will be mainly described. As shown in FIG. 2, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display: equivalent to an information display panel) 3 is mounted on the center side of the substrate 2 by soldering. A flat touch panel 4 is mounted on the LCD 3, and a rectangular frame-shaped escutcheon (decorative board) 5 is mounted so as to cover the LCD 3 and the touch panel 4. Here, for example, an acrylic plate member is used for the touch panel 4. As long as the touch panel 4 is a flexible member, any plate-like member may be applied, and a sheet-like member may be applied.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the LCD 3 and the touch panel 4 each have a rectangular shape (including a square shape) in plan view, and the external dimensions (width and length) of the touch panel 4 are the external dimensions of the LCD 3. It is wider than (width, length). Pressure sensors (corresponding to sensors) 6 are mounted at the four corners of the periphery of the substrate 2, respectively, and are planarly mounted on the substrate 2 at positions corresponding to the corners 4 a (four corners) of the touch panel 4. Has been implemented.

  A support shaft 7 is fixed on the substrate 2 on the inner side (center side) of the pressure sensor 6. The support shaft 7 is made of thermoplastic resin such as ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) resin or polycarbonate, and is formed into a semicircular cross section. The semicircular outer peripheral surface faces up, and a substrate is formed by, for example, a screw (not shown). 2 is fixed.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the touch panel 4 has corners 4 a (four corner peripheral ends in this example) placed on the pressure sensor 6 and the support shaft 7. The angle θ intersecting the side portion 4b is an acute angle (for example, 30 to 60 degrees: desirably 45 degrees), and thereby the support shaft 7 is inclined with respect to the side portion 4b of the touch panel 4 (for example, an inclined straight line). Installed).

  As shown in FIG. 1, the LCD 3, the support shaft 7, and the pressure sensor 6 are arranged in this order on the substrate 2 from the inside (center side of the substrate 2) to the outside. A touch panel 4 is placed on the support shaft 7 and the pressure sensor 6, and the pressure sensor 6 and the support shaft 7 are held between the substrate 2 and the touch panel 4. The touch panel 4 is engaged (contacted) with the sensing part of the pressure sensor 6, and the engaging part (contact part) is a corner 4 a (the lower surface) of the touch panel 4.

  On the other hand, the LCD 3 is mounted on the substrate 2 and installed between the touch panel 4 and the substrate 2, but a gap (clearance) is provided between the LCD 3 and the touch panel 4. When this gap is provided, the touch panel 4 is bent downward when the user operates the operation surface 4c, and the corner 4a of the touch panel 4 is easily displaced upward. The escutcheon 5 is positioned outside the LCD 3, the touch panel 4, the support shaft 7, and the pressure sensor 6 and is fixed to the substrate 2 by screws (not shown). In the cross section shown in FIG. 1, the escutcheon 5 is located on the outer side of the side portion 4b of the touch panel 4 and extends upward from the substrate 2, and the upper end of the touch panel 4 from the upper end of the extension (the substrate 2). The extended end portion 5 a is positioned above the peripheral edge of the touch panel 4 and extends downward from the extended end portion.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a cushion material 8 is fixed to the lower portion of the end portion 5 a of the escutcheon 5. For example, a nonwoven fabric having a compression rate of 40% and a thickness of 3 mm is used for the cushion material 8 and is mounted on the touch panel 4 so as to be engaged therewith. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the cushion material 8 is disposed immediately above the contact area between the support shaft 7 and the touch panel 4.

  The cushion material 8 is in contact with the upper surface of the touch panel 4, acts as a pressing portion that presses the touch panel 4 downward, and stabilizes the position of the touch panel 4 held by the support shaft 7 and the cushion material 8 in the vertical direction. Yes. The cushion material 8 is preferably selected and the compression rate is set so that the pressing force is 0.1 MPa or more. In the present embodiment, the cushion material 8 and the support shaft 7 constitute a support portion.

  Since the escutcheon 5, the cushion material 8, and the like are not disposed on the corner 4 a of the touch panel 4, the corner 4 a of the touch panel 4 on the pressure sensor 6 can be displaced upward. The touch panel 4 is adjusted in advance so that the load on each pressure sensor 6 becomes an initial load amount within a predetermined range by adjusting the degree of engagement with each pressure sensor 6 and the support shaft 7 in advance during manufacturing or the like. . Therefore, the touch panel 4 is placed on each pressure sensor 6 and the support shaft 7 in a state where an appropriate initial load is applied in advance to the sensing portion of each pressure sensor 6.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram showing an example of the electrical configuration of the vehicle navigation apparatus. The control device 9 is composed mainly of a microcomputer, for example, and electrically connects an LCD 3 serving as a display device, a pressure sensor 6, a position detector 10, a map data input device 11, a sound processing device 12, and the like. It is configured.

  The control device 9 performs map display processing of a user-desired area on the LCD 3 using the map data input device 11, and notifies various notification information or inputs external sound information through the sound processing device 12. Further, the control device 9 performs a current position specifying process using the position detector 10, performs a display process on the map display screen, and performs various route guidance processes. The touch panel type operation device 1 is used as a user interface for a user to input desired instructions (for example, information input such as waypoints and destinations) while confirming various information displayed in the information display area of the LCD 3. Is provided.

The operation of the above configuration will be described.
The operating device 1 according to the present embodiment is based on a touch sensor technology called a so-called pressure panel system. When the user operates the operation surface 4c on the center side of the touch panel 4, a pressing force is applied to the center side of the touch panel 4 to bend downward. As shown in FIG. 1, since the support shaft 7 supports the inner lower surface of the corner portion 4 a of the touch panel 4, the corner portion 4 a of the touch panel 4 has the upper end of the support shaft 7 as the fulcrum 7 a and is opposite to the user pressing direction. A force is applied (upward in FIG. 1), and the corner 4a of the touch panel 4 is displaced upward in FIG.

  As described above, since an initial load is applied to each pressure sensor 6 in the downward direction in FIG. 1, when the corner 4a of the touch panel 4 is displaced in the upward direction in FIG. Reduced load. Then, the pressure sensor 6 can detect the amount of decrease in the initial load. Since the information on the detected load amount of each pressure sensor 6 is given to the control device 9, the control device 9 detects the touch position of the operation surface 4 c of the user touch panel 4 based on the detected load amount information of each pressure sensor 6. it can. Since the method for specifying the touch position is substantially the same as the conventional method, detailed description thereof is omitted. Moreover, since the upward displacement amount of the corner 4a of the touch panel 4 in FIG. 1 can be detected, not only the touch position of the touch panel 4 but also the pressing force of the user can be detected.

<Simulation analysis results>
The inventors created an optimum structural model of an 8-inch display device and performed a stress analysis simulation. As shown in FIG. 5A, the analysis model includes rectangular pressure sensors 6 mounted on the corners 2a of the four corners of the flat plate-like substrate 2, and a plane slant on the inner upper surface of the corners 2a. A model in which the support shaft 7 is provided in the shape is adopted. A model with a semicircular cross section was used for the support shaft 7.

  As shown in FIG. 5B, the external dimensions of the substrate 2 are L1 × W1 = 270 mm × 200 mm, the distance between the corner 2a of the substrate 2 and the center of the support shaft 7 is L2 = W2 = 25 mm, The diameter of the semicircular cross section of No. 7 was φ = 10 mm. In addition, the inclination angle θ in the axial direction of the support shaft 7 with respect to the side 2b of the substrate 2 (the same as the side surface of the side 4b of the touch panel 4) was set to 45 degrees.

  In this structure, the stress analysis simulation was performed separately for (1) when the support shaft 7 was not provided and (2) when the support shaft 7 was provided. The pressing condition in the stress analysis assumed that a force capable of pressing the center portion of the touch panel 4 with a user's finger is applied in actual use. Under this assumption, an analysis simulation was performed under a pressing condition that the center of the touch panel 4 was pressed with a force of 50N.

  (1) In the case where the support shaft 7 is not provided, it has been clarified by simulation that a stress of 67.9 MPa is applied to the pressure sensor 6 when the center portion of the touch panel 4 is pressed with a force of 50 N. (2) In the case where the support shaft 7 is provided, when the center portion of the touch panel 4 is pressed with a force of 50 N, the maximum stress is in the vicinity of the pressing portion, and this stress value is 22.2 MPa. Further, the maximum stress on the fulcrum 7a of the support shaft 7 was 2.6 MPa. This is presumably because the fulcrum 7 a is scattered linearly inside the corner 2 a of the substrate 2, so that the applied pressure is dispersed throughout the support shaft 7.

  When the touch panel 4 is made of acrylic resin, the acrylic bending strength is 110 MPa, and the breaking strength of the pressure sensor 6 is 45 MPa, (1) when the support shaft 7 is not provided, the breaking strength of the pressure sensor 6 is exceeded. On the other hand, (2) when the support shaft 7 is provided, the stress value is sufficiently lower than the breaking strength of the pressure sensor 6, and the touch panel 4 can be disposed while the pressure is dispersed. Recognize.

<About the optimum installation range of the fulcrum of the support shaft 7>
FIG. 6 shows the optimum installation range of the fulcrum in a plan view. As shown in FIG. 6, tangent lines with θ = 45 degrees are drawn at the four corner portions 3a of the LCD 3, respectively, and the corner portion 2a side of the substrate 2 is set as the optimum installation range R of the fulcrum 7a. The support shaft 7 is preferably arranged so that the fulcrum 7a is provided in the installation optimum range R in an oblique shape at θ = 45 degrees. Then, the pressing force can be accurately transmitted to the pressure sensor 6.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the fulcrum 7a may be provided so as to partially deviate from the installation optimum range R, and the fulcrum 7a only needs to be provided outside the operation surface 4c. In addition, it has been confirmed that the sensing sensitivity of the pressure sensor 6 is good when the support shaft 7 is arranged so that the fulcrum 7a has a tilt angle θ of 30 ° to 60 °.

<About the cross-sectional shape of the support shaft 7>
Fig.8 (a)-FIG.8 (c) have shown the variation of the cross-sectional shape of a spindle. As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) to 8 (c), the support shaft 7 has a semicircular shape (for example, FIG. 8 (a)) whose upper surface is curved, a wedge shape (pointed shape) having a pointed tip. : For example, FIG. 8 (b) having a triangular cross section, a square shape having a plurality of supporting points 7a in the cross section (for example, the square shape of FIG. 8 (c)), or another shape that is a combination thereof. May be.

<About the position of the cushion material 8 (pressing portion)>
FIG. 9 shows an appropriate range of the cushion material placement position. As shown in FIG. 9, it is preferable that a cushion material 8 serving as a pressing portion is arranged in a range Rz from the side end portion of the LCD 3 (side end portion of the operation surface 4c) to the fulcrum 7a.

<Summary of this embodiment>
According to the present embodiment, the support shaft 7 is provided with the fulcrum 7 a obliquely with respect to the side portion 4 b of the touch panel 4 while being sandwiched between the touch panel 4 and the substrate 2, and is disposed inside the pressure sensor 6. . The pressure sensors 6 are respectively arranged at positions corresponding to the corners 4a of the touch panel 4, and are installed in a state where an appropriate initial load is applied to the pressure sensors 6 in advance.

  When the user touches the operation surface 4 c of the touch panel 4, a force is applied to the center side of the touch panel 4 inside the support shaft 7. A force acts on the corner 4 a of the touch panel 4 in the direction opposite to the pressing direction of the user (upward in FIG. 1) by the action of the support shaft 7. Then, the initial load amount applied in advance to the pressure sensor 6 decreases, and the decrease amount of this load can be detected by the pressure sensor 6. Thereby, the possibility that an excessive load exceeding the initial load is applied to the pressure sensor 6 is reduced, and the possibility that the pressure sensor 6 is deteriorated can be suppressed as much as possible.

Further, since the support shaft 7 is disposed on the center side of the operation surface 4c, it is difficult for a load to be applied to the pressure sensor 6, and the pressure sensor 6 can be easily protected from an excessive load.
The cushion material 8 presses the touch panel 4 from above, but the cushion material 8 is disposed outside the operation surface 4c of the touch panel 4 and from directly above the support shaft 7 to the inside (center side). The force applied to the four corners 4a is not pressed down by the cushion material 8, and the corners 4a of the touch panel 4 can be freely displaced, and the detection accuracy of the pressure sensor 6 can be improved.

  Further, when the cushion material 8 is disposed immediately above the support shaft 7, the touch panel 4 is gripped in the vertical direction by the support shaft 7 and the cushion material 8. Stabilize in the direction.

  If the fulcrum 7a is provided along a tangent line that is in contact with the corner 3a of the LCD 3, the support shaft 7 can be disposed while improving the information display area of the LCD 3. In this case, since the support shaft 7 is installed at a position far from the corner 4 a of the touch panel 4, the amount of displacement of the corner 4 a of the touch panel 4 on the pressure sensor 6 can be increased. Accuracy can be improved.

  Instead of the cushion material 8, a support portion that supports the touch panel 4 in the upward direction by adsorbing or adhering the touch panel 4 may be provided at the installation position of the cushion material 8. In this case, since the support portion supports upward by adsorption or adhesion, it is not necessary to provide the support shaft 7 below the touch panel 4.

  Such an operating device 1 is suitable for an in-vehicle device that is expected to have excessive vibration and load, and can improve the durability of the operating device 1. Although the embodiment to which the pressure sensor 6 is applied is used, various strain sensors may be used instead. The number of installed pressure sensors 6 is not limited.
