Abstract

An electrical switch having a switching element which can be pivoted about two mutually perpendicular axes by means of a switching lever and has at least one spring-loaded rolling element for a switching link and at least one spring-loaded rolling body for a profiled cam. The technical problem is to construct a switch of the generic type such that the number of switching operations is virtually unlimited. A spherical cup (16) of the switching element (6) lies in a spherical pan (11) of the housing (1), and four profiled cams (15) are constructed in a housing shell (3), in accordance with the desired switching directions. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen elektrischen Schalter mit einem durch einen Schalthebel um zwei zueinander senkrechte Achsen ver­ schwenkbaren Schaltstück, das mindestens ein federbelastetes Wälzele­ ment für eine Schaltbrücke und mindestens einen federbelasteten Wälz­ körper für eine Profilkurve aufweist.The invention relates to an electrical switch with a ver by a shift lever around two mutually perpendicular axes swiveling contact piece, the at least one spring-loaded roller ment for a switching bridge and at least one spring-loaded roller body for a profile curve.

Bekannte Schalter dieser Art haben eine kreuzgelenkartige Anord­ nung von zwei senkrecht zueinander angeordneten Zapfen, um die das Schaltstück schwenkbar ist. Eine solche Anordnung leidet unter star­ kem Verschleiß und erlaubt nur eine begrenzte Anzahl von Schaltspie­ len. Anwendungsgebiet eines solchen Schalters ist ein Fahrtrichtungs­ schalter mit Fahrlichtumschaltung.Known switches of this type have a universal joint arrangement tion of two pins arranged perpendicular to each other, around which the Switch piece is pivotable. Such an arrangement suffers from star wear and allows only a limited number of switching games len. The area of application of such a switch is a direction of travel switch with driving light switch.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist eine solche Ausbildung eines Schalters der gattungsgemäßen Art, daß die Zahl der Schaltspiele nahezu unbe­ grenzt ist.The object of the invention is such a design of a switch the generic type that the number of switching cycles almost unbe is bordered.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß eine Kugelkalotte des Schaltstücks in einer Kugelpfanne des Gehäuses liegt und daß vier Profilkurven entsprechend den gewünschten Schaltrichtun­ gen in einer Gehäuseschale ausgebildet sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in that a Spherical cap of the contact piece lies in a ball socket of the housing and that four profile curves according to the desired switching direction gene are formed in a housing shell.

Die Erfindung unterscheidet sich insofern vom Stand der Technik, als die Kugelpfannenlagerung des Schaltstücks nahezu verschleißfrei ist. Es lassen sich große Kräfte ohne unzulässige Belastung aufneh­ men. Ein solcher Schalter eignet sich besonders als Schalter für ein Vorwahlgetriebe in Kraftfahrzeugen.The invention differs from the prior art in that as the ball socket bearing of the contact piece almost wear-free is. Large forces can be absorbed without undue stress men. Such a switch is particularly suitable as a switch for a Preselection gears in motor vehicles.

Eine spielfreie und verschleißfeste Lagerung des Schaltstücks erzielt man dadurch, daß die Kugelpfanne in einem Gehäuseeinsatz aus­ gebildet ist, der mit der Gehäuseschale fest verbunden ist. Diese Aus­ bildung ermöglicht es, die Lagerteile aus einem verschleißfesten Werk­ stoff unabhängig von dem Gehäuse auszubilden.Backlash-free and wear-resistant mounting of the contact is achieved by making the ball socket in a housing insert  is formed, which is firmly connected to the housing shell. This out Education enables the bearing parts to be made from a wear-resistant factory training material independently of the housing.

Eine genaue Führung des Schaltstücks in zueinander senkrechten Richtungen bei der Schaltbewegung erreicht man dadurch, daß an der Kugelkalotte in zueinander senkrechten Richtungen Achszapfen sitzen, die in Führungsschlitze des Gehäuseeinsatzes eingreifen, die senk­ recht zur gemeinsamen Ebene der Achszapfen ausgerichtet sind.Precise guidance of the contact piece in perpendicular to each other Directions in the switching movement can be achieved in that at the Spherical ball seated axle journal in mutually perpendicular directions, which engage in the guide slots of the housing insert, the lower are aligned to the common plane of the journal.

Eine weitere drehpunktferne Führung des Schaltstücks erreicht man dadurch, daß die Gehäuseschale einen kreuzförmigen Durchgang für den Durchtritt eines das Wälzelement aufnehmenden Schaltfußes des Schaltstücks aufweist.A further guide of the contact piece remote from the pivot point is reached one in that the housing shell has a cross-shaped passage for the passage of a switching foot of the rolling element Has contact piece.

Zur genauen Ausrichtung der Schaltbrücke auf die Schaltbewegun­ gen ist vorgesehen, daß in einer Gehäuseplatte eine Schaltbrücke mit kreuzförmig ausgerichteten Schaltfingern angeordnet ist, mit der das Wälzelement zusammenwirkt und daß die Schaltfinger jeweils mit Kon­ taktstücken zusammenwirken.For precise alignment of the switching bridge with the switching movement gene is provided that a switching bridge in a housing plate arranged cross-shaped shift fingers with which the Rolling element cooperates and that the shift fingers each with Kon work together.

Ein Kippen der Schaltbrücke nur in den Schaltrichtungen ist da­ durch sichergestellt, daß die Schaltbrücke mehrere Kippfüße aufweist, die in Aufnahmen der Gehäuseplatte eingreifen.The switching bridge only tilts in the switching directions by ensuring that the switching bridge has several tilting feet, which engage in recordings of the housing plate.

Die Sicherheit der Schaltbewegung wird dadurch erhöht, daß das Wälzelement als Kugel ausgebildet ist, die aus dem Schaltfuß des Schaltstücks herausragt und durch eine Schraubendruckfeder vorge­ spannt ist.The safety of the switching movement is increased by the fact that Rolling element is designed as a ball, which from the switching foot of the Contact piece protrudes and pre-selected by a helical compression spring is tense.

Der elektrische Schalter ist in einem Gehäuse 1 untergebracht. Dieses Gehäuse 1 enthält einen Gehäuseeinsatz 2, ein Gehäuseschale 3, die durch Stifte 4 fest mit dem Gehäuseeinsatz 2 verbunden ist, und eine Gehäuseplatte 5.The electrical switch is housed in a housing 1 . This housing 1 contains a housing insert 2 , a housing shell 3 , which is fixedly connected to the housing insert 2 by pins 4 , and a housing plate 5 .

Ein Schaltstück 6 ist mit einem rohrförmigen Schalthebel 7, der eine größere Längenausnehmung hat, integral ausgebildet und nimmt in einem Schaltfuß 8 eine Wälzkugel als Wälzelement 9 auf. Das Wälzele­ ment 9 ist in einer Endhülse 29 des Schalthebels 7 geführt. Das Wälz­ element 9 wirkt mit einer Schaltbrücke 10 zusammen, die auf der Gehäu­ seplatte 5 gelenkig abgestützt ist. Der Aufbau der genannten Bauteile wird im folgenden genauer erläutert.A switching piece 6 is integrally formed with a tubular switching lever 7 , which has a larger length recess, and receives a roller ball as a rolling element 9 in a switching foot 8 . The Wälzele element 9 is guided in an end sleeve 29 of the shift lever 7 . The rolling element 9 cooperates with a switching bridge 10 , which is articulated on the hous seplatte 5 . The structure of the components mentioned is explained in more detail below.

Der Gehäuseeinsatz 2 besitzt eine Kugelpfanne 11 als Aufnahme und innerhalb der Kugelpfanne 11 einen Durchgang 12 für den Schalthe­ bel 7. Innerhalb der Kugelpfanne 11 sind vier jeweils um 90° gegenein­ ander versetzte Führungsschlitze 13 ausgebildet, die sich etwa paral­ lel zur Achse des Durchgangs 12 erstrecken.The housing insert 2 has a ball socket 11 as a receptacle and within the ball socket 11 a passage 12 for the Schalthe bel 7th Within the ball socket 11 , four guide slots 13 , each offset by 90 °, are formed, which extend approximately parallel to the axis of the passage 12 .

Die Gehäuseschale 3 weist einen kreuzförmigen Durchgang 14 für den Schaltfuß 8 auf und besitzt außerdem vier Profilkurven 15, die jeweils unter einem Winkel von 90° gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet sind. Die Stifte 4, die den Gehäuseeinsatz 2 und die Gehäuseschale 3 zusammenhalten, sichern auch diese Teile innerhalb des Gehäuses 1, wie man insbesondere aus Fig. 5 erkennt.The housing shell 3 has a cross-shaped passage 14 for the shift foot 8 and also has four profile curves 15 , which are each offset from one another at an angle of 90 °. The pins 4 , which hold the housing insert 2 and the housing shell 3 together, also secure these parts within the housing 1 , as can be seen in particular from FIG. 5.

Innerhalb des Gehäuseeinsatzes 2 ist das Schaltstück 6 angeord­ net, das mit einer Kugelkalotte 16 innerhalb der Kugelpfanne 11 liegt. An der Kugelkalotte 16 sind vier Achszapfen 17 angeformt, die jeweils in Umfangsrichtung um 90° gegeneinander versetzt sind und die jeweils in einen Führungsschlitz 13 eingreifen. Jeweils zwei einander gegenüberstehende Achszapfen 17 legen eine Schwenkachse für die Ver­ schwenkung des Schaltstücks 6 fest. An dem Schaltstück 6 sitzen vier Füße 18. Jeder Fuß 18 nimmt eine durch eine Feder 19 vorgespannte Auf­ nahme 20 auf. In der Aufnahme 20 sitzt eine Kugel 21, die in eine Pro­ filkurve 15 eingreift. Die Endhülse 29 des Schalthebels 7 nimmt eine Schraubendruckfeder 28 und die Kugel 9 auf.Within the housing insert 2 , the contact piece 6 is net angeord, which lies with a spherical cap 16 within the ball socket 11 . Four axle journals 17 are integrally formed on the spherical cap 16 , each of which is offset from one another in the circumferential direction by 90 ° and which each engage in a guide slot 13 . Each two opposing journals 17 define a pivot axis for the pivoting of the switching element 6 Ver. Four feet 18 sit on the switching piece 6 . Each foot 18 receives a prestressed by a spring 19 on 20 . In the receptacle 20 sits a ball 21 which engages in a pro filkurve 15 . The end sleeve 29 of the shift lever 7 receives a helical compression spring 28 and the ball 9 .

Die Gehäuseplatte 5 weist vier Aufnahmen 22 auf, in die Kippfüße 23 der Schaltbrücke 10 eingreifen. Auf der Gehäuseplatte 5 ist außer­ dem der Träger 24 einer Kontaktmatte mit entsprechenden Kontakt­ stücken 25 abgestützt. Es sind vier Kontaktstücke 25 vorhanden. Mit jedem Kontaktstück 25 wirkt ein Schaltfinger 26 der Schaltbrücke 10 zusammen. Die Schaltbrücke 10 hat vier unter Winkeln von 90° gegenein­ ander versetzte Schaltfinger 16. Die Kontaktbeläge der Kontaktmatte sind gemäß Fig. 7 an Anschlußkontakte 27 geführt. An diese sind An­ schlußleitungen angeschlossen und gemäß Fig. 7 zugentlastet heraus­ geführt.The housing plate 5 has four receptacles 22 into which tilting feet 23 of the switching bridge 10 engage. On the housing plate 5 is apart from the carrier 24 a contact mat with corresponding contact pieces 25 supported. There are four contact pieces 25 . A switching finger 26 of the switching bridge 10 interacts with each contact piece 25 . The switching bridge 10 has four shift fingers 16 offset against one another at angles of 90 °. The contact linings of the contact mat are guided on connection contacts 27 according to FIG. 7. At these are connected to connecting lines and out strain relief out as shown in FIG. 7.

Der Aufbau und die Funktion des Schaltes nach der Erfindung er­ geben sich ohne weiteres aus der vorstehenden Beschreibung in Verbin­ dung mit den Zeichnungen. Das Schaltstück 6 ist innerhalb der Kugel­ pfanne 11 verschwenkbar, wobei die Achszapfen 17 zwei senkrecht auf einanderstehende Schwenkachsen festlegen. Die Führungsschlitze 13 er­ strecken sich senkrecht zur Ebene dieser Schwenkachse, so daß die bei­ den Schwenkbewegungen unabhängig voneinander ausgeführt werden können. Der kreuzförmige Durchgang 14 dient als Anschlag für diese Schwenkbe­ wegung. Die Schwenkbewegung wird jeweils duch die Profilkurve 15 ge­ steuert, die einerseits die Rückstellkraft für das Schaltstück 6 bereitstellen. Das Wälzelement 9 innerhalb des Schaltfußes 8 bewegt sich jeweils in einer der beiden Schwenkrichtungen und wälzt sich auf einem Schaltfin­ ger 26 ab, so daß die Schaltbrücke 10 in der entsprechenden Richtung über die Kippfüße 23 abkippt und ein Kontaktstück 25 innerhalb der Kontaktmatte betätigt. Dadurch wird jeweils einer der Anschlußkontak­ te 27 erregt, so daß ein Stromkreis für die Ausführung weiterer Schaltvorgänge geschlossen wird.The structure and function of the circuit according to the invention, it can be seen from the above description in conjunction with the drawings. The contact piece 6 is pivotable within the ball pan 11 , the journals 17 defining two mutually perpendicular pivot axes. The guide slots 13 he extend perpendicular to the plane of this pivot axis, so that the pivoting movements can be carried out independently. The cross-shaped passage 14 serves as a stop for this Schwenkbe movement. The pivoting movement is in each case controlled by the profile curve 15 , which on the one hand provide the restoring force for the contact piece 6 . The rolling element 9 within the switch base 8 is moved in each case in one of the two pivoting directions and rolls off on a Schaltfin ger 26, so that the switching bridge tilts in the corresponding direction on the tilt legs 23 10 and a contact piece 25 is operated within the contact mat. As a result, one of the terminal contacts 27 is energized, so that a circuit is closed for the execution of further switching operations.

Der Schalter nach der Erfindung hat eine große Lebensdauer, so daß er eine sehr große Anzahl von Schaltspielen ermöglicht. Hierzu trägt insbesondere die Kugelagelenklagerung des Schaltstücks bei.The switch according to the invention has a long service life, so that it enables a very large number of switching cycles. For this contributes in particular to the ball-and-socket joint mounting of the contact piece.
