せている。That is, the operation portion 9b is formed on the display sheet 9 in a substantially convex shape. The decorative plate 8 is integrally formed with a button 8a and an indicator light hole 8b. A printed board 11 is fixed to the back surface of the decorative board 8, and an indicator lamp 12 and a switch 13 are fixed to the printed board 11. The button 8a has one end 8c freely contactable with the cap 13a of the switch 13 and the other end contacted with the display sheet 9.
次に、化粧板８のボタン部の詳細を第９図〜第11図によ

しい。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, since the indicator light 12 and the switch 13 on the front operation panel of the washing machine are fixed on the printed board 11, the size of the button 8a and the length of the elastic support portion 8d are increased. Printed circuit board 11
Depends on the size of. The size of the button protrusion 9b of the display sheet 9 is appropriately the size of a human finger. Therefore, it is desirable that the operating portion 8a has a fingertip (about 1 cm 2 ). The shape of the elastic support portion 8d that supports the operation portion 8a is shown in FIGS.
As shown in the figure, cross-sectional area (width b × thickness h) and length = l = l 1
+ L 2 is provided. In this case, the thickness h is the button 8a.
It is desirable that the thickness be equal to the thickness of the decorative plate 8 in order to support it stably, and that the width b be smaller from the viewpoint of space saving.
また、一般にボタン操作力Ｆは ｂ；（弾性支持部の巾） ｈ；（ 〃 厚さ） ｌ；（ 〃 長さ） δ；（ストローク） Ｅ；（化粧板の縦弾性係数） となる。ボタン操作力Ｆは小さくし、軽い操作が望まれ
る。そのためには、弾性支持部の厚さｈを小さくする
か、ｌを大きくすれば操作力を小さくできるのである
が、ｌを大きく、厚さｈを小さくすればボタンの操作安
定性が損われるという問題点があった。Generally, the button operating force F is b; (width of elastic support portion) h; (〃 thickness) l; (〃 length) δ; (stroke) E; (longitudinal elastic modulus of decorative plate). It is desired that the button operation force F be small and the button operation be light. For that purpose, the operating force can be reduced by reducing the thickness h of the elastic support portion or by increasing l, but if l is increased and the thickness h is reduced, the operational stability of the button is impaired. There was a problem.
本考案は、このような問題点を解決すべく、操作安定性
を向上させるとともに軽い操作性を可能とすることを目
的とする。An object of the present invention is to improve operational stability and enable light operability in order to solve such problems.
問題点を解決するための手段 この問題点を解決するために本考案は、化粧板に一体成
形した弾性支持部をボタンに連結し、弾性支持部とボタ
ンまたは弾性支持部と化粧板の連結部近傍の板厚を化粧
板およびボタン板厚より薄くした構成である。Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve this problem, the present invention is to connect an elastic support part integrally formed with a decorative plate to a button, and to connect the elastic support part and the button or the elastic support part and the decorative plate. This is a configuration in which the plate thickness in the vicinity is thinner than the decorative plate and the button plate.
作用 この構成により、ボタンと弾性支持部の連結部及び化粧
板との連結部のみ板厚を薄くすることによりヒンジとし
ての効果が得られ、ボタンの移動は安定し、操作力も小
さくできる。Action With this configuration, the effect as a hinge can be obtained by reducing the plate thickness only at the connecting portion between the button and the elastic support portion and the connecting portion between the decorative plate, and the movement of the button can be stabilized and the operating force can be reduced.
この結果、ボタン支持部の曲げ応力も小さくなり、耐久
性も向上し、操作性の良好なボタンが得られる。As a result, the bending stress of the button support portion is also reduced, the durability is improved, and a button with good operability can be obtained.
実施例 以下、本考案の実施例について第１図〜第５図を参照し
て説明する。Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.
図において、８は化粧板、8aはボタン、8dは弾性支持体
で２本ある。化粧板は樹脂でスチロール系やポリプロピ
レンである。In the figure, 8 is a decorative plate, 8a is a button, and 8d is an elastic support member. The decorative board is a resin such as styrene or polypropylene.
ボタン8aと弾性支持体の連結部ロ、化粧板８と弾性支持
体連結部イの板厚をそれぞれ薄くし、元も板厚ｔに対し
ｈとしｈ＜ｔとする。また、この板厚の薄くした形状の
巾ｂは、第３図および第４図のように、弾性支持体の巾
b1ボタン、化粧板の巾b2とすると、b1＜b2とし第２図
（Ｂ），第３図のように、板厚の薄い部分から厚い部分
へのつながりにはＲを設けなめらかに接続させる。The plate thickness of the button 8a and the elastic support member connecting portion (b) and the decorative plate 8 and the elastic support member connecting portion (b) are respectively thinned so that the original thickness is h and h <t. In addition, the width b of the thin plate has a width of the elastic support as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
If b 1 button and the width of the decorative plate are b 2 , then b 1 <b 2 and as shown in FIGS. 2 (B) and 3, R is provided smoothly in the connection from the thin part to the thick part. Connect to.
第５図には、弾性支持体のボタンと化粧板の両連結部の
板厚を薄くした構成を示す。板厚の薄い部分の長さＣ
は、Ｃ≒２・b2とし、曲げ応力の集中応力をかけるのを
防止するものである。FIG. 5 shows a structure in which the plate thickness of both the button of the elastic support and the decorative plate is reduced. Length C of thin plate
Is to set C≈2 · b 2 to prevent the concentrated stress of bending stress from being applied.
上記構成において、ボタン8aを上下に押し圧すると第２
図のように移動する。ボタン8aのストロークをδボタン
押し圧荷重Ｆ（操作力）とすると、弾性支持体の曲げ応
力σは次式により表わされる。In the above configuration, when the button 8a is pressed up and down, the second
Move as shown. Assuming that the stroke of the button 8a is the δ button pressing load F (operating force), the bending stress σ of the elastic support is expressed by the following equation.
よって、板厚を薄くすることにより曲げ応力σは小さく
なり、操作力も軽くなる。繰り返し曲げ耐久寿命も長く
なる。 Therefore, by reducing the plate thickness, the bending stress σ becomes smaller and the operating force also becomes lighter. Repeated bending endurance life is also extended.
弾性支持体の巾b1は、ボタン8aのストロークδが大きい
場合、不安定になりやすいので、ボタンの上下の移動を
安定させるためには、大きくとれば良い。If the stroke δ of the button 8a is large, the width b 1 of the elastic support is likely to be unstable. Therefore, the width b 1 may be set large in order to stabilize the vertical movement of the button.
b2の巾は、巾b1よりも大きくする。連結部イ，ロの角部
にはＲをつけ集中応力を防止する。これはボタン8aのス
トロークδが大きい場合、上下の移動のとき、ボタンが
ねじれたり、左右，前後に動きやすいため連結部イ，ロ
に曲げ応力以外の応力がかかる。この応力を緩和するた
めＲをつけると効果的である。The width of b 2 should be greater than the width of b 1 . R is attached to the corners of the connecting portions a and b to prevent concentrated stress. This is because when the stroke δ of the button 8a is large, the button is twisted when it is moved up and down, and it is easy to move from side to side and back and forth, so that stress other than bending stress is applied to the connecting portions a and b. It is effective to add R to alleviate this stress.
長さＣは、連結部イ，ロの曲げ部の長さであるが、曲げ
の集中応力を防止するためにはヒンジ巾の倍程度が望ま
しい。これは、ボタン8aの上下動に対し、安定に動かす
ために求められる。The length C is the length of the bent portion of the connecting portions a and b, but is preferably about twice the hinge width in order to prevent concentrated stress in bending. This is required for stable movement of the button 8a with respect to vertical movement.
第５図は、弾性支持体のボタン側と化粧板側の両ヒンジ
部に板厚を薄くしたもので、ボタン操作力を、さらに軽
くし、大きなストロークδが得られるようにしたもの
で、同様の効果が得られる。Fig. 5 shows the hinges of the elastic support on both the button side and the decorative plate side that are made thinner so that the button operating force can be further reduced and a large stroke δ can be obtained. The effect of is obtained.
考案の効果 以上のように本考案によれば、小型の操作スイッチ盤の
ボタン形状を化粧板に一体に成形したもので、ボタンの
操作力を軽く、ストロークを大きくとり、ボタンの移動
方向性も安定させることができるものである。As described above, according to the present invention, the button shape of the small operation switch board is integrally formed on the decorative plate, which makes the button operation force light, the stroke large, and the movement direction of the button also. It can be stabilized.
また、弾性支持部のヒンジ部を薄くすることにより繰り
返し曲げ耐久は、著しく向上し、さらに連結部の巾を大
きくとることにより、ボタンの移動方向性を向上させる
ことができるものである。Further, by making the hinge portion of the elastic support portion thin, the repeated bending durability is remarkably improved, and by making the width of the connecting portion large, the moving directionality of the button can be improved.
