Description

本発明は、複数の操作ボタンを有する、例えばデジタルカメラやデジタルビデオカメラ等の撮像装置を含む電子機器に関する。   The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus including a plurality of operation buttons and including an imaging device such as a digital camera or a digital video camera.

デジタルビデオカメラ等の電子機器、特に業務用の電子機器には、ユーザが各種設定を行うための操作ボタンが複数設けられている。これらの操作ボタンは、ユーザが所定の操作ボタンを押し操作することによって、機器本体内の対応するスイッチが押圧されてオン状態となる。   An electronic device such as a digital video camera, particularly a business electronic device, is provided with a plurality of operation buttons for the user to make various settings. These operation buttons are turned on when a corresponding switch in the device main body is pressed when the user presses a predetermined operation button.

スイッチは、一般に、ドーム状の導電板と、導電板から離間した位置に配置される内部電極と、ケース部材とで構成され、操作ボタンの押し操作に応じて導電板が押圧されて弾性変形することで、導電板と内部電極とが接触して導通し、オン状態になる。その後、操作ボタンの押し状態を解除することで、導電板が弾性復帰し、これにより、導電板が内部電極から離間して非導通となることでオフ状態になる。この導電板の弾性変形及び弾性復帰の際の反力により、ユーザは操作ボタンを介してクリック感を得ることができる。   The switch is generally composed of a dome-shaped conductive plate, an internal electrode disposed at a position away from the conductive plate, and a case member, and the conductive plate is pressed and elastically deformed in response to the pressing operation of the operation button. Thus, the conductive plate and the internal electrode come into contact with each other and are turned on. Thereafter, by releasing the operation button, the conductive plate is elastically restored. As a result, the conductive plate is separated from the internal electrode and becomes non-conductive, thereby turning off. By the reaction force at the time of elastic deformation and elastic recovery of the conductive plate, the user can obtain a click feeling through the operation buttons.

また、操作ボタンの操作性を改善すべく、操作ボタンに弾性部材を凹凸嵌合し、弾性部材と対向する位置に基板に実装されたスイッチを配置した操作ボタン構造が提案されている(特許文献1)。   In addition, in order to improve the operability of the operation button, an operation button structure in which an elastic member is concavo-convexly fitted to the operation button and a switch mounted on the substrate is arranged at a position facing the elastic member has been proposed (Patent Document). 1).

この操作ボタン構造では、組み立ての際に、弾性部材と操作ボタンとを一体に嵌合した状態で、外装カバーに組み込み、その後、スイッチが実装された基板を弾性部材と対向した位置に組み込む方法がある。また、スイッチが実装された基板に対して弾性部材を対向させて組み込み、その後、弾性部材に操作ボタンを嵌合した状態で外装カバーに組み込む方法などがある。   In this operation button structure, at the time of assembly, there is a method in which the elastic member and the operation button are integrally fitted into the exterior cover, and then the board on which the switch is mounted is assembled at a position facing the elastic member. is there. In addition, there is a method in which an elastic member is mounted opposite to a substrate on which a switch is mounted, and then incorporated in an exterior cover with an operation button fitted to the elastic member.

FIG. 6B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 6A in a state where the operation button 309 is fitted and incorporated into the elastic member 22.

図6(a)に示すように、弾性部材22の嵌合凸部209aには、外周部から径方向内側に向けて切り欠かれた切り欠き部209a1〜209a3が周方向に略等間隔で形成されている。一方、操作ボタン309の凹部309cの内周部には、径方向内側に突出するリブ部309c1〜309c3が周方向に略等間隔で形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 6A, the fitting protrusion 209a of the elastic member 22 is formed with notches 209a1 to 209a3 that are notched radially inward from the outer periphery at substantially equal intervals. Has been. On the other hand, rib portions 309c1 to 309c3 projecting radially inward are formed at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the inner circumferential portion of the concave portion 309c of the operation button 309.

操作ボタン309を弾性部材22に組み込む際には、操作ボタン309の凸部309b1と弾性部材22の凸部209b1の向きを合わせた状態で、操作ボタン309のリブ部309c1〜309c3を弾性部材22の切り欠き部209a1〜209a3に嵌合する。これにより、操作ボタン309が弾性部材22に対して回転が規制された状態で位置決め嵌合される。   When the operation button 309 is incorporated into the elastic member 22, the rib portions 309 c 1 to 309 c 3 of the operation button 309 are placed on the elastic member 22 in a state where the directions of the convex portion 309 b 1 of the operation button 309 and the convex portion 209 b 1 of the elastic member 22 are aligned. It fits into the notches 209a1 to 209a3. Thereby, the operation button 309 is positioned and fitted in a state where the rotation of the operation button 309 is restricted with respect to the elastic member 22.

また、操作ボタン309の凹部309cの内周部には、径方向内側に突出する凸部309c4〜309c6がリブ部309c1〜309c3と位相をずらして周方向に略等間隔で形成されている。凸部309c4〜309c6の先端は、弾性部材22の嵌合凸部209aの径よりも径方向内側に位置している。これにより、操作ボタン309が弾性部材22に圧入により組み込まれる。   In addition, convex portions 309c4 to 309c6 protruding radially inward are formed on the inner peripheral portion of the concave portion 309c of the operation button 309 at substantially equal intervals in the circumferential direction with a phase shifted from the rib portions 309c1 to 309c3. The tips of the convex portions 309c4 to 309c6 are located radially inward from the diameter of the fitting convex portion 209a of the elastic member 22. Accordingly, the operation button 309 is incorporated into the elastic member 22 by press-fitting.

弾性部材22の切り欠き部209a1〜209a3の溝幅は、操作ボタン309のリブ部309c1〜309c3の幅よりも若干大きく設定され、また、リブ部309c1〜309c3の先端は呼び込み形状となっている。このため、弾性部材22に操作ボタン309をスムーズに組み込めるようになっている。また、組み込み後は、前述したように、凸部309c4〜309c6によって操作ボタン309が弾性部材22に圧入されているため、弾性部材22に対して操作ボタン309が容易に外れることはない。   The groove widths of the cutout portions 209a1 to 209a3 of the elastic member 22 are set to be slightly larger than the widths of the rib portions 309c1 to 309c3 of the operation button 309, and the leading ends of the rib portions 309c1 to 309c3 have a calling shape. For this reason, the operation button 309 can be smoothly incorporated into the elastic member 22. Further, as described above, since the operation button 309 is press-fitted into the elastic member 22 by the convex portions 309c4 to 309c6 after the assembly, the operation button 309 is not easily detached from the elastic member 22.

図6(b)に示すように、弾性部材22の嵌合凸部209aと保持部209bとは、薄肉の腕部209dで接続されている。また、操作ボタン309の凹部309cに設けられた当接面309c0には、弾性部材22の嵌合凸部209aの上面209a0が当接して、操作ボタン309が軸方向に位置決めされている。   As shown in FIG. 6B, the fitting convex portion 209a and the holding portion 209b of the elastic member 22 are connected by a thin arm portion 209d. Further, the upper surface 209a0 of the fitting convex portion 209a of the elastic member 22 is in contact with the contact surface 309c0 provided in the concave portion 309c of the operation button 309, and the operation button 309 is positioned in the axial direction.

図4及び図5に示すように、その他の操作ボタン301〜308,310,311の凹部301c〜308c,310c,311cにも、凹部309cのリブ部309c1〜309c3と同様のリブ部が形成されている。また、弾性部材21,23の機能部201〜208,210,211の嵌合凸部201a〜208a,210a,211aにも、機能部209の嵌合凸部209aの切り欠き部209a1〜209a3と同様の切り欠き部が形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, rib portions similar to the rib portions 309c1 to 309c3 of the concave portion 309c are also formed in the concave portions 301c to 308c, 310c, and 311c of the other operation buttons 301 to 308, 310, and 311. Yes. Further, the fitting convex portions 201a to 208a, 210a, and 211a of the functional portions 201 to 208, 210, and 211 of the elastic members 21 and 23 are also similar to the cutout portions 209a1 to 209a3 of the fitting convex portion 209a of the functional portion 209. A notch is formed.

そして、操作ボタン301〜308の凸部301b1〜308b1と弾性部材21の凸部201b1〜208b1の向きを合わせた状態で、操作ボタン301〜308のリブ部を弾性部材21の切り欠き部に嵌合する。これにより、操作ボタン301〜308が弾性部材21に対して回転が規制された状態で位置決め嵌合される。また、操作ボタン310,311の凸部310b1,311b1と弾性部材23の凸部210b1,211b1の向きを合わせた状態で、操作ボタン310,311のリブ部を弾性部材23の切り欠き部に嵌合する。これにより、操作ボタン310,311が弾性部材23に対して回転が規制された状態で位置決め嵌合される。   Then, the ribs of the operation buttons 301 to 308 are fitted to the notches of the elastic member 21 in a state where the directions of the protrusions 301b1 to 308b1 of the operation buttons 301 to 308 and the protrusions 201b1 to 208b1 of the elastic member 21 are aligned. To do. Accordingly, the operation buttons 301 to 308 are positioned and fitted in a state where the rotation of the operation buttons 301 to 308 is restricted with respect to the elastic member 21. Further, the ribs of the operation buttons 310 and 311 are fitted to the notches of the elastic member 23 in a state where the directions of the protrusions 310b1 and 311b1 of the operation buttons 310 and 311 and the protrusions 210b1 and 211b1 of the elastic member 23 are aligned. To do. Thereby, the operation buttons 310 and 311 are positioned and fitted in a state in which the rotation is restricted with respect to the elastic member 23.

ここで、本実施形態では、操作ボタン301〜311を弾性部材21〜23に嵌合して組み込む際に、弾性部材21〜23の切り欠き部に対応しない操作ボタンについては組み込めないようになっている。   Here, in the present embodiment, when the operation buttons 301 to 311 are fitted into the elastic members 21 to 23 and incorporated, operation buttons that do not correspond to the notches of the elastic members 21 to 23 cannot be incorporated. Yes.

例えば、図4(a)に示すように、弾性部材21の機能部201,202の嵌合凸部201a,202aに形成された複数の切り欠き部は、凸部201b1,202b1に対する位相が互いに異なる。一方、図5(b)に示すように、操作ボタン301,302の凹部301c,302cにおける複数のリブ部の凸部301b1,302b1に対する位相は、凸部201b1,202b1に対する嵌合凸部201a,202aの複数の切り欠き部と同じである。   For example, as shown to Fig.4 (a), the some notch part formed in fitting convex part 201a, 202a of the functional part 201,202 of the elastic member 21 mutually differs in the phase with respect to convex part 201b1,202b1. . On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5B, the phases of the plurality of rib portions in the concave portions 301c and 302c of the operation buttons 301 and 302 with respect to the convex portions 301b1 and 302b1 are the fitting convex portions 201a and 202a with respect to the convex portions 201b1 and 202b1. It is the same as a plurality of notches.

したがって、操作ボタン301〜311を、外観側に印字されている8〜14、又は背面側に形成されている1〜4の数字を見て弾性部材21〜23に組み込む際に、組み込む操作ボタンを間違えた場合は、弾性部材に嵌合できないようになっている。このため、操作ボタン301〜311を弾性部材21〜23に間違って組み込むことはない。また、弾性部材21〜23の凸部に対して操作ボタン301〜311の凸部の向きを合わせた状態で組み込めない場合は、間違った操作ボタンを組み込んでいることがすぐに分かるため、結果として組み立て作業性が向上する。   Therefore, when the operation buttons 301 to 311 are incorporated into the elastic members 21 to 23 by looking at the numbers 8 to 14 printed on the external side or the numbers 1 to 4 formed on the back side, If a mistake is made, the elastic member cannot be fitted. For this reason, the operation buttons 301 to 311 are not mistakenly incorporated into the elastic members 21 to 23. In addition, when it is impossible to incorporate the operation buttons 301 to 311 with the convex portions of the elastic members 21 to 23 in a state in which the convex portions are aligned, it is immediately understood that the wrong operation button is incorporated. Assembly workability is improved.

次に、図7を参照して、フレキシブル回路基板40、及び固定板金50について説明する。図7(a)はフレキシブル回路基板40を図1の矢印A方向から見た正面図、図7(b)は固定板金50を図1の矢印A方向から見た正面図である。   Next, the flexible circuit board 40 and the fixed sheet metal 50 will be described with reference to FIG. 7A is a front view of the flexible circuit board 40 viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1, and FIG. 7B is a front view of the fixed metal plate 50 viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG.

図7(a)に示すように、フレキシブル回路基板40には、電気スイッチ401〜411が操作ボタン301〜311に対応して実装されている。また、フレキシブル回路基板40には、固定板金50に位置決めするための位置決め穴40a〜40e、及び固定板金50にねじで固定するための固定用穴41〜46が形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 7A, electrical switches 401 to 411 are mounted on the flexible circuit board 40 corresponding to the operation buttons 301 to 311. The flexible circuit board 40 is formed with positioning holes 40 a to 40 e for positioning on the fixing sheet metal 50 and fixing holes 41 to 46 for fixing to the fixing sheet metal 50 with screws.

図7(b)に示すように、固定板金50には、フレキシブル回路基板40を位置決めするための位置決め用ボス50a〜50e、フレキシブル回路基板40をねじで固定するためのバーリング51〜56が形成されている。また、固定板金50には、弾性部材21に形成されたパネル受け部212,213を外装カバー10側に押圧して固定する押圧部512,513が形成されている。   As shown in FIG. 7B, the fixing metal plate 50 is formed with positioning bosses 50a to 50e for positioning the flexible circuit board 40 and burrings 51 to 56 for fixing the flexible circuit board 40 with screws. ing. The fixing sheet metal 50 is formed with pressing portions 512 and 513 for pressing and fixing the panel receiving portions 212 and 213 formed on the elastic member 21 to the exterior cover 10 side.

そして、図2に示すように、フレキシブル回路基板40を固定板金50に重ね、位置決め穴40a〜40eを固定板金50の位置決め用ボス50a〜50eに嵌合し、固定用穴41〜46を固定板金50のバーリング51〜56にねじ61〜66を用いて固定する。   Then, as shown in FIG. 2, the flexible circuit board 40 is overlaid on the fixed sheet metal 50, the positioning holes 40 a to 40 e are fitted into the positioning bosses 50 a to 50 e of the fixed sheet metal 50, and the fixing holes 41 to 46 are fixed to the fixed sheet metal. It fixes to 50 burrings 51-56 using the screws 61-66.

図8は、操作ボタン301〜311が嵌合された弾性部材21〜23を外装カバー10に組み込んだ状態を外装カバー10の裏面側から見た図である。   FIG. 8 is a view of the state in which the elastic members 21 to 23 into which the operation buttons 301 to 311 are fitted are incorporated in the exterior cover 10 as viewed from the back side of the exterior cover 10.

図8に示すように、弾性部材21の位置決め穴21a〜21dが外装カバー10の位置決めリブ10a〜10dに嵌合され、弾性部材23の位置決め穴23eが外装カバー10の位置決めリブ10eに嵌合されている。弾性部材22は、機能部209の保持部209bに接するように外装カバー10に形成されたリブ109aによって位置決めされている。弾性部材21,23についても、外装カバー10に位置決めされているが、機能部201〜208,210,211の保持部201b〜208b,210b,211bに接するように外装カバー10に形成されたリブにより位置決めされている。   As shown in FIG. 8, the positioning holes 21 a to 21 d of the elastic member 21 are fitted into the positioning ribs 10 a to 10 d of the outer cover 10, and the positioning holes 23 e of the elastic member 23 are fitted to the positioning rib 10 e of the outer cover 10. ing. The elastic member 22 is positioned by a rib 109a formed on the exterior cover 10 so as to contact the holding portion 209b of the functional portion 209. The elastic members 21 and 23 are also positioned on the exterior cover 10, but are formed by ribs formed on the exterior cover 10 so as to be in contact with the holding portions 201b to 208b, 210b, and 211b of the functional units 201 to 208, 210, and 211. It is positioned.

外装カバー10に弾性部材21を組み込む際は、誤組防止リブ214を外装カバー10に形成された誤組防止リブ214の収納部114に合わせて組み込み、位置決め部10a〜10dに位置決め穴21a〜21dを嵌合して組み立てる。外装カバー10に弾性部材22を組み込む際は、弾性部材22を外装カバー10のリブ109aに外形を合わせるようにして組み立てる。外装カバー10に弾性部材23を組み込む際は、位置決め部10eに位置決め穴23eを嵌めこむようにして組み立てる。これにより、操作ボタン301〜311は、外装カバー10に対して回転が規制された状態で位置決めされる。   When assembling the elastic member 21 into the exterior cover 10, the misassembly prevention rib 214 is incorporated in accordance with the storage portion 114 of the misassembly prevention rib 214 formed on the exterior cover 10, and the positioning holes 21 a to 21 d are located in the positioning portions 10 a to 10 d. Assemble and assemble. When the elastic member 22 is incorporated into the exterior cover 10, the elastic member 22 is assembled so that the outer shape matches the rib 109 a of the exterior cover 10. When assembling the elastic member 23 into the exterior cover 10, the assembly is performed by fitting the positioning hole 23e into the positioning portion 10e. Thereby, the operation buttons 301 to 311 are positioned in a state where the rotation is restricted with respect to the exterior cover 10.

図9(a)は図8に示す組立体に対してフレキシブル回路基板40と固定板金50を組み込んだ状態を外装カバー10の裏面側から見た図、図9(b)は図9(a)のC−C線断面図である。なお、ここでは操作ボタン309についてのみ説明するが、その他の操作ボタン301〜308,310〜311についても同様の構成であるため、説明を省略する。   FIG. 9A is a view of the assembly shown in FIG. 8 in which the flexible circuit board 40 and the fixed sheet metal 50 are assembled as seen from the back side of the exterior cover 10, and FIG. 9B is FIG. 9A. It is a CC sectional view taken on the line. Note that only the operation button 309 is described here, but the other operation buttons 301 to 308 and 310 to 311 have the same configuration, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

図9(b)に示すように、外装カバー10の穴109から操作ボタン309の外観部309aが突出し、フランジ部309bによって操作ボタン309が外観側に飛び出さないよう規制されている。操作ボタン309の凹部309cの当接面309c0に弾性部材22の嵌合凸部209aの上面209a0が当接して一体となっており、嵌合凸部209aの反対側には、押し軸209cが電気スイッチ409に対向して配置されている。   As shown in FIG. 9B, the external portion 309a of the operation button 309 protrudes from the hole 109 of the exterior cover 10, and the operation button 309 is restricted from protruding to the external side by the flange portion 309b. The upper surface 209a0 of the fitting convex portion 209a of the elastic member 22 is in contact with the contact surface 309c0 of the concave portion 309c of the operation button 309, and the push shaft 209c is electrically connected to the opposite side of the fitting convex portion 209a. The switch 409 is disposed opposite to the switch 409.

弾性部材22の保持部209bは、固定板金50によって固定されたフレキシブル回路基板40と外装カバー10に形成されたリブ109bとの間に挟まれ、図9(b)の上下方向に移動できないよう配置されている。外装カバー10のリブ109bは、弾性部材22の保持部209bの全周に密着しているため、操作ボタン309と外装カバー10の穴109の隙間から雨水などが侵入してきても、弾性部材22によって侵入が阻止され、それ以上内部に侵入することはない。   The holding portion 209b of the elastic member 22 is sandwiched between the flexible circuit board 40 fixed by the fixing metal plate 50 and the rib 109b formed on the exterior cover 10, and is arranged so as not to move in the vertical direction in FIG. 9B. Has been. Since the rib 109b of the outer cover 10 is in close contact with the entire circumference of the holding portion 209b of the elastic member 22, even if rainwater or the like enters from the gap between the operation button 309 and the hole 109 of the outer cover 10, the elastic member 22 Intrusion is blocked and no further intrusion occurs.

ここで、ユーザによって操作ボタン309が押し操作されると、操作ボタン309が弾性部材22の嵌合凸部209aを押し、弾性部材22の薄肉の腕部209dが変形して押し軸209cが電気スイッチ409を押圧する。このとき、押し軸209cが弾性部材で形成されているため、押し軸209cが弾性変形する分ストロークが増えることになり、ユーザが感じるクリック力が増幅される。   Here, when the operation button 309 is pushed by the user, the operation button 309 pushes the fitting convex portion 209a of the elastic member 22, the thin arm portion 209d of the elastic member 22 is deformed, and the push shaft 209c is an electric switch. 409 is pressed. At this time, since the push shaft 209c is formed of an elastic member, the stroke increases as the push shaft 209c is elastically deformed, and the click force felt by the user is amplified.

また、操作ボタン309のフランジ部309bと弾性部材22の薄肉の腕部209dとの間には、一定の隙間Dが設けられている。この隙間Dは、例えば操作ボタン309がユーザによって斜めに押し操作されたときに、押し軸209cが電気スイッチ409を押圧するよりも先に、フランジ部309bが薄肉の腕部209dを押圧して電気スイッチ409を押せなくなることを防いでいる。つまり、隙間Dは、押し軸209cが電気スイッチ409を押圧するために必要なストローク分の量となる。   In addition, a certain gap D is provided between the flange portion 309 b of the operation button 309 and the thin arm portion 209 d of the elastic member 22. For example, when the operation button 309 is pushed obliquely by the user, the gap D is generated by the flange portion 309b pressing the thin arm portion 209d before the push shaft 209c presses the electric switch 409. This prevents the switch 409 from being pressed. That is, the gap D is an amount corresponding to a stroke necessary for the push shaft 209c to press the electric switch 409.

次に、図10を参照して、パネル受け部212,213について説明する。図10(a)は、図9(a)のE−E線断面図であり、表示パネル3が閉位置から270°開方向に回転した状態での表示パネル3とパネル受け部212,213との関係を示す図である。図10(b)は、図10(a)のパネル受け部212の部分拡大図である。   Next, the panel receiving parts 212 and 213 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10A is a cross-sectional view taken along line EE of FIG. 9A, and shows the display panel 3 and the panel receiving portions 212 and 213 in a state where the display panel 3 is rotated in the opening direction by 270 ° from the closed position. It is a figure which shows the relationship. FIG.10 (b) is the elements on larger scale of the panel receiving part 212 of Fig.10 (a).

パネル受け部212,213は、図4に示すように、弾性部材21と一体に形成されており、先端部212a,213aと、固定部212b,213bとを有する。パネル受け部212,213の先端部212a,213aは、外装カバー10に形成された穴112,113に外装カバー10の裏面側から圧入されて外装カバー10から外観側に一定量突出して配置されている。表示パネル3に外力Fがかかったときに、表示パネル3をパネル受け部212,213の先端部212a,213aで受け止めて衝撃を吸収すると共に、表示パネル3の表示面に過大な力がかからないようにする。   As shown in FIG. 4, the panel receiving portions 212 and 213 are formed integrally with the elastic member 21 and have tip portions 212a and 213a and fixing portions 212b and 213b. The front end portions 212 a and 213 a of the panel receiving portions 212 and 213 are press-fitted into the holes 112 and 113 formed in the exterior cover 10 from the back surface side of the exterior cover 10 and protrude by a certain amount from the exterior cover 10 to the exterior side. Yes. When an external force F is applied to the display panel 3, the display panel 3 is received by the tip portions 212 a and 213 a of the panel receiving portions 212 and 213 to absorb the impact, and an excessive force is not applied to the display surface of the display panel 3. To.

固定部212b,213bは、外装カバー10の裏面と固定板金50に形成された押圧部512,513との間に挟まれた状態で固定されている。パネル受け部212,213の先端部212a,213aに外力が加わった際には、パネル受け部212,213全体で外力を吸収しながら押圧部512,513でも受ける構造となっている。   The fixing portions 212b and 213b are fixed in a state of being sandwiched between the back surface of the exterior cover 10 and the pressing portions 512 and 513 formed on the fixing metal plate 50. When an external force is applied to the front end portions 212a and 213a of the panel receiving portions 212 and 213, the panel receiving portions 212 and 213 receive the external force and the pressing portions 512 and 513 also receive the external force.

表示パネル3が270°回転していない状態では、パネル受け部212,213の先端部212a,213aは外観から最も突出した部分となる。このため、例えばビデオカメラ100をユーザが落としてしまったとき等は、先端部212a,213aが最初に地面に当たるため、衝撃を軽減することができる。   When the display panel 3 is not rotated by 270 °, the front end portions 212a and 213a of the panel receiving portions 212 and 213 are the most protruding portions from the appearance. For this reason, for example, when the user drops the video camera 100, the tip portions 212a and 213a first hit the ground, so that the impact can be reduced.

また、図10(b)に示すように、パネル受け部212の先端部212aに接する外装カバー10の穴112の外観側の周囲には、R形状部112cが形成されている。このため、例えば指でパネル受け部212の先端部212aを横から押すなどせん断方向の力が働いても、R形状部112cがせん断方向の力を吸収するため、先端部212aが破損等しにくくなっている。なお、図示は省略するが、パネル受け部213の先端部213aに接する外装カバー10の穴113の外観側の周囲にも、同様に、R形状部が形成されている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, an R-shaped portion 112c is formed around the outer side of the hole 112 of the exterior cover 10 in contact with the tip end portion 212a of the panel receiving portion 212. For this reason, even if a force in the shearing direction is applied, for example, by pushing the front end 212a of the panel receiving part 212 from the side with a finger, the R-shaped part 112c absorbs the force in the shearing direction, so that the front end 212a is not easily damaged. It has become. In addition, although illustration is omitted, an R-shaped portion is similarly formed around the outer side of the hole 113 of the exterior cover 10 in contact with the front end portion 213a of the panel receiving portion 213.

以上説明したように、本発明によれば、外観の異なる複数の操作ボタン301〜311を弾性部材21〜23の誤った位置に組み込むことができないようにしているので、組み立て作業性を向上させることができる。   As described above, according to the present invention, since a plurality of operation buttons 301 to 311 having different appearances cannot be incorporated at the wrong positions of the elastic members 21 to 23, the assembly workability is improved. Can do.
