Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bedienelement mit einem Bedienknopf, in dem der Bedienknopf um zwei Raumachsen verschwenkbar gelagert ist und mit einer dem Bedienknopf zugeordneten Kontaktmatte, wobei der Bedienknopf kardanisch gelagert ist.The The invention relates to an operating element with a control knob, in which the control knob is pivotally mounted about two spatial axes and with a control button associated contact mat, wherein the control knob gimbal is stored.
Bedienelemente mit einem um zwei Raumachsen verschwenkbaren Bedienknopf werden auch als Toggle-Taste bezeichnet und werden zumeist dort eingesetzt, wo eine Vielzahl von Auswahlmöglichkeiten oder Einstellungen mittels eines Bedienelementes ausgeführt werden können. Toggle-Tasten werden zum Beispiel eingesetzt für die Verstellung eines Außenspiegels oder eines Sitzes in einem Kraftfahrzeug. Vielfach werden derartige Bedienelemente auch in das Lenkrad oder zur Auswahl von Menüs oder der Steuerung der Lautstärke in Kraftfahrzeugen eingesetzt. Ein Vorteil derartiger Bedienelemente ist der, dass die Bedienelemente sehr leicht und zumeist mit einem Finger bedient werden können. Zur Bestätigung der ausgewählten Funktion wird häufig in das Bedienelement ein Druckknopf als Taster integriert.controls be with a pivotable about two spatial axes control knob also known as toggle button and are mostly used there, where a variety of choices or settings can be performed by means of a control element. Toggle keys are used, for example, for the adjustment an outside mirror or a seat in a motor vehicle. In many cases, such controls are also in the steering wheel or for selecting menus or controlling the volume used in motor vehicles. An advantage of such controls is that the controls are very light and mostly with a Fingers can be operated. For confirmation The selected function is frequently used in the control a push button integrated as a button.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht nun darin, ein Kardanelement in einen sehr flachen Bauraum eines Multifunktionsschalters zu integrieren, wobei gleichzeitig vier Tastfunktionen bei einem sehr geringen Hub auszuführen sind. Darüber hinaus besteht die Aufgabe darin, eine konstruktiv einfache und kostengünstige Lösung eines kardanisch gelagerten Bedienknopfes bereitzustellen.The The object of the invention is now a cardan element in a to integrate very flat space of a multi-function switch, at the same time four tactile functions at a very small stroke are to be executed. In addition, there is the task therein, a structurally simple and cost-effective solution to provide a gimbaled control knob.
Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass das Kardanelement in einem separaten Führungsrahmen gelagert ist. Durch den erfindungsgemäßen Aufbau des Bedienelementes ist nun die Möglichkeit geschaffen, ein sehr flaches Bedienelement bereitzustellen, das mit minimalstem Bauraum sämtliche Funktionen einer Toggle-Taste oder eines Multifunktionstasters beinhaltet und das gleichzeitig vier Tastfunktionen mit geringem Hub ausführen kann. Durch die Zuhilfenahme eines separaten Führungsrahmens wird hierbei der konstruktive Aufbau des Gehäuses des Bedienelementes wesentlich vereinfacht, da der Führungsrahmen als separates Bauteil einerseits großen konstruktiven Spielraum ermöglicht und gleichzeitig kostengünstig herzustellen ist.The inventive object is achieved by that the gimbals in a separate guide frame is stored. By the construction according to the invention the control element is now created the opportunity To provide a very flat control, with minimal space all the functions of a toggle button or a multifunction button includes and simultaneously four tactile functions with low Hub can perform. By using a separate Guide frame is here the structural design of the Housing of the control much easier since the guide frame as a separate component on the one hand large allows constructive scope and at the same time cost is to produce.
Das Kardanelement oder der Kardanrahmen ist hierbei im Führungsrahmen gelagert. Diese erste Lagerung des Kardanrahmens im Führungsrahmen bildet die erste Schwenkachse für die Toggle-Taste. Hierbei ist die Lagerung an gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Führungsrahmens vorgesehen. An den um 90° versetzt gelegenen Seiten des Kardanelements befinden sich die Lagerstellen zur Aufnahme der Betätigungs- oder Toggle-Scheibe für den Bediener des Bedienelements.The Cardan or the gimbal is here in the guide frame stored. This first storage of the gimbal in the guide frame forms the first swivel axis for the toggle button. Here is the storage on opposite sides of the guide frame intended. At the 90 ° offset sides of the Cardan element are the bearing points for receiving the actuating or toggle disc for the operator of the control element.
Die Aufnahmepunkte im Kardanelement für die Toggle-Scheibe bilden die zweite Schwenkachse. Es ist somit mit minimalsten konstruktiven Mitteln möglich, ein Kardanelement in einen Multifunktionsschalter – sprich Toggle-Taster – zu integrieren und somit einen Multifunktionsschalter zu realisieren.The Pick-up points in the cardan element for the toggle disc form the second pivot axis. It is thus of minimal constructive Means possible, a gimbal in a multi-function switch - speak Toggle push-button - to integrate and thus a multi-function switch to realize.
Ein weiterer erfindungsgemäßer Vorteil ergibt sich dann, wenn die Toggle-Scheibe als Tastscheibe für den Bediener mit Stößeln zusammenwirkt, wobei die Stößel auf Taster oder Schaltkontakte einer Schaltmatte wirken. Erfindungsgemäß ist es dann vorstellbar, den Führungsrahmen gleichzeitig als Führungsrahmen für die Schaltstößel auszubilden. Der Führungsrahmen bildet dann nicht nur die Lagerung für das Kardanelement, sondern gleichzeitig Linearführungen für die Schaltstößel zur Betätigung der Taster oder Schaltkontakte. Hierdurch werden der konstruktive Aufbau sowie die Anzahl der benötigten Bauteile zur Realisierung des erfindungsgemäßen Bedienelementes wesentlich reduziert und somit kostengünstig herstellbar.One further inventive advantage results then, if the toggle disc as a touch disk for the operator interacts with plungers, with the plungers act on buttons or switch contacts of a safety mat. According to the invention it then conceivable to use the guide frame simultaneously Guide frame for the switch plunger train. The guide frame then forms not only the storage for the gimbal element, but at the same time linear guides for the switch plunger for actuation the button or switch contacts. As a result, the constructive Structure as well as the number of required components for realization the control element according to the invention essential reduced and thus inexpensive to produce.
Ein weiterer erfindungsgemäßer Vorteil ist dann realisierbar, wenn das Bedienelement mit einem zusätzlichen, zumeist mittig angeordneten Taster oder linear betätigbaren Druckknopf versehen ist. Es ist dann erfindungsgemäß vorstellbar, dass der Führungsrahmen gleichzeitig zur Linearführung eines Tasters des Bedienelementes dient. Der Führungsrahmen dient in diesem Fall erstens zur Lagerung des Kardanrahmens, zweitens zur Führung der Schaltstößel für die Toggle-Scheibe und drittens als Linearführung für die separat zu betätigende Taste.Another advantage according to the invention can be realized if the control element is provided with an additional, usually centrally arranged pushbutton or linearly actuable pushbutton. It is then conceivable according to the invention that the Guide frame simultaneously serves for linear guidance of a button of the control element. The guide frame is used in this case firstly to support the gimbal, secondly to guide the switch plunger for the toggle disc and thirdly as a linear guide for the separately operated button.
Anzumerken bleibt hier, dass das Bedienelement, wie auch der Führungsrahmen aus den üblichen bei der Herstellung von Bedienelementen verwendeten Kunststoffen fertigbar ist. Vorzugsweise werden Polycarbonat (PC) und Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) als Kunststoffe eingesetzt.It should be noted Remains here that the operating element as well as the guide frame from the usual in the production of controls used plastics is manufacturable. Preferably, polycarbonate (PC) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) used as plastics.
