Description

Operating device, in particular for a device of a motor vehicle
The invention relates to an operating device, in particular for a device of a motor vehicle, comprising an operating element which is linearly movable by an operator for operation and which is guided by means of a guide device.
In principle, operating devices having an operating element which is movable by an operator for operation are known from the prior art. By means of such an operating element, an operator can interact with the device, for example to set the device. In particular, such a device can also be provided in a motor vehicle, so that an operator can set or select, for example, different operating states of the motor vehicle or individual components of the motor vehicle by means of an operating element.
It is also known in such operating devices that defined haptic or different setting or movement possibilities of the operating element can be achieved by different movements or positions of the operating element. On the one hand, such operating elements are subject to the following requirements: that is, the operating element can be positioned without play and accurately in or along the guide. Furthermore, when the operating element is operated, in particular when the operating element is moved along the guide, the tactile sensation has a greater influence on the operating experience of the operator.
In this case, only a linear guide is often provided in the linearly displaceable or linearly movable actuating element, along which the actuating element is moved, for example by engaging into a slide groove provided by the guide device. Such linear or displacement movements do not, in part, comply with the user's requirements for defined tactile or precise positioning possibilities.
The invention is based on the object of providing an improved operating device, in particular for a device of a motor vehicle, in which the haptic and positioning accuracy are improved in particular.
This object is achieved by an operating device having the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
As mentioned above, the invention relates to an operating device, in particular for a device of a motor vehicle. The operating device has an operating element which is linearly movable for operation by an operator, wherein the linear movement is achieved by guiding the operating element by means of a guide device. In other words, the operating device provides a guide means in or by means of which the operating element can be guided linearly in that: the operator moves the operating element linearly to operate the operating device, for example grips the operating element and displaces it along a movement trajectory pre-given by the guide means.
The invention is based on the following recognition: in this case, the operating element can be coupled to the transmission element by means of a coupling element, which is arranged on the operating element. It is therefore generally proposed that the linear movement performed by the operating element (as described above) guided by means of the guide device is transmitted by means of the transmission element. It is thereby achieved that the haptic sensation and the precision in the positioning of the actuating element are not only determined by the guide device (by means of which or in which the actuating element is guided), but rather that the actuating element is coupled to a transmission element which is mounted pivotably about a rotational axis, so that a movement of the actuating element is correspondingly converted into a pivoting movement.
In other words, there is not only a linear movement of the actuating element, in which the actuating element is displaced, for example, in the guide device, but the actuating element is coupled to a transmission element of the transmission device, so that the linearly moving actuating element is coupled to a movement (in particular a pivoting movement about the rotational axis) of the transmission element. In this way, a defined haptic sensation is achieved, since ultimately not only a linear displacement of the actuating element is carried out, but the movement of the actuating element is decisively determined jointly by the movement of the transmission element. As a result, an improved accuracy of the positioning of the actuating element can likewise be achieved due to the pivotable mounting of the transmission element, since, in addition to the guidance of the actuating element in the guide device, there is also a coupling of the actuating element to the transmission element, which ultimately allows a more precise positioning.
Overall, the operator's experience when operating the operating element is improved thereby, in particular the tactile sensation when the operating element is moved linearly, for example when the operating element is displaced in a slotted guide, so that the user obtains an improved operating experience when operating the operating element or when operating the operating device as a whole. Furthermore, the user can set the defined switching state or operating state of the operating device more precisely, since the positioning accuracy of the final operating element is also improved.
The transmission element of the transmission of the operating device can be designed, for example, as a lever element pivotable about a rotational axis, which lever element extends between the operating element and the rotational axis. The lever element thus combines the movement of the operating element with the movement of the lever element about the axis of rotation, as described above. The axis of rotation or point of rotation thus determines on which trajectory the operating element is finally moved. The coupling point between the actuating element and the lever element performs a circular movement about the axis of rotation, which is converted by the coupling of the actuating element to the lever element into a linear movement of the actuating element guided by the guide device.
In other words, the operating element is moved (for example displaced) linearly by means of the guide device, in particular in the guide device, wherein the operating element simultaneously executes a pivoting movement of the lever element about the rotational axis by means of the transmission device, i.e. by means of the transmission element. In this case, the transmission element, in particular a lever element pivotable about a rotational axis, imparts a circular movement to the linear movement, wherein the point at which the lever element is coupled to the actuating element describes a circular path. The operating element itself also describes a linear movement, but the operating element is pivotably supported by the transmission.
In this case, it can be provided in particular that the transmission element is connected to the guide device, in particular the guide element of the guide device, and/or to the actuating element by means of a connecting device. The connecting device can thus establish a connection between the operating element and the transmission element. The actuating element can be coupled to a guide element of the guide device, for example, so that the coupling of the transmission element to the guide element and thus the establishment of an indirect connection between the transmission element and the actuating element coupled to the guide element can be achieved.
Of course, it can also be provided that the transmission element is directly coupled to the operating element. Furthermore, a coupling of the transmission element with the guide element and the operating element can be achieved. Of course, the transmission element can also be coupled with the guide device in other ways. The connecting element in this case finally establishes a movable connection between the actuating element and the transmission element, which connection allows the actuating element to move linearly, i.e. to execute a defined linear movement exerted by the guide device, and at the same time supports the actuating element on the transmission device, which executes a circular movement.
In other words, the transmission element and the operating element are coupled by a connecting device, wherein the connecting device allows a defined relative movement between the transmission element and the operating element, whereas upon movement of the operating element, the transmission element also moves, and vice versa.
For this purpose, the connecting device can have, in particular, a joint element, in particular a ball joint or a shaft joint or a pivot joint, by means of which the transmission element is connected to the actuating element and/or the guide device. This achieves that the operating element can finally be moved linearly, which is transmitted or converted by the joint element into a pivoting movement of the transmission element. Accordingly, the operating element is coupled to the transmission element of the transmission by means of the connecting device, wherein upon movement of the operating element along or by means of the guide device, a movement also occurs in the joint element, which movement maintains the coupling between the transmission element and the operating element and finally converts or transmits the linear movement into a circular movement and vice versa. It is thus possible to achieve the advantage of pivoting the transmission element and linearly guiding the operating element, and thus of achieving the positioning accuracy and the haptic feel of the pivoting movement in respect of the operation of the operating element, in particular when performing a linear movement.
For this purpose, the connecting device has, for example, a compensating element, in particular a slide, which is arranged in a sliding manner in a recess in the guide element and/or in the actuating element of the guide device. The compensating element can move (e.g. slide) inside a recess in the guide element and/or the operating element and thus allow relative movement between the operating element and the transmission element. In particular, the joint elements of the connecting device are arranged in or on the compensation element such that the relative movement is formed as a movement which is a combination of a pivoting of a transmission element (for example a shaft, a ball joint or a shaft at the tip of a lever element) received in the joint elements and a linear movement which simultaneously serves to compensate for different movement trajectories (in particular circular trajectories and linear trajectories).
In other words, when the operating element is moved linearly along or by means of the guide device, the transmission element is forced to perform a pivoting movement about the rotational axis by a coupling via the connecting device, wherein the compensating element is moved relative to the recess in the operating element and/or the guide element depending on the position or the movement performed by the operating element. Here, the relative movement likewise occurs in the joint element, which, as mentioned above, can be arranged in particular in the compensation element. The slider can in particular have a joint, for example a ball joint or a shaft coupled to the transmission element.
When the transmission element moves about the rotational axis, the joint element moves on a circular path and thus rotates relative to the slider. As a result, a deviation occurs between the joint element moving on a circular path and the slider moving linearly together with the operating element. This deviation can be compensated for by the relative movability, in particular in the Z direction of the slider inside a recess in the actuating element and/or the guide element. The compensation element thus compensates for the offset resulting from the circular trajectory deviating from the linear trajectory, and the joint element can effect a relative movement between the transmission element and the operating element.
The guide means, in particular the guide element of the guide means, can be arranged in the region of the operating element, for example in direct contact with the operating element. The guide element can be, for example, a guide plate which is arranged firmly or releasably on the operating element. The operating element is, for example, a handle which can be grasped by an operator and moved to operate the operating device. The gear can be arranged releasably on the actuating element or the guide element. The guide element and the operating element, which are in direct contact with one another, can have a recess into which the transmission element or a compensating element on the transmission element engages.
In this case, a connecting device having a joint element and a compensating element is arranged at the tip of the transmission element (i.e. the free end which engages into the recess or is aligned in the direction of the recess). A slider which engages into the recesses in the guide element and the operating element and is arranged relatively displaceably in the recesses is thus formed, wherein a rotary shaft or a ball joint is arranged inside the slider, which ball joint couples the compensation element with the transmission element. By means of this relatively close arrangement, in particular the direct arrangement of the guide element on the operating element, a defined tactile sensation and particularly good positioning accuracy are achieved.
Furthermore, the guide device can have at least two holding elements spaced apart from one another by a defined distance, in which the guide elements, in particular plate-shaped guide elements, are guided. Finally, the two holding elements support a guide element, which is coupled to the operating element as described above. Since the two holding elements are arranged at a defined distance, in particular as far apart from one another as possible, a particularly precise and tilt-free guidance of the guide element in the holding element is ensured, and thus an improved guidance of the operating element inside the guide device is achieved.
As mentioned above, the guide element can be designed as a plate on which the operating element (e.g. a handle) is arranged. The sliding movement between the guide element and the holding element can thus be implemented as a linear movement, which is generated by the operator operating the operating element. In this case, as described above, the transmission element coupled to the actuating element pivots and thus achieves the advantage of two movements, namely a linear movement inside the guide or by means of the guide and a circular movement or pivoting movement by means of the transmission.
In accordance with a further embodiment of the operating device, it can be provided that the transmission is connected to or has a latching device with at least one latching surface when the operating element is moved
Figure BDA0003546968490000051
And a latch element movable into contact therewith. In other words, the latching connection can provide a latching surface and at least one latching element, wherein the latching element is at the operating elementThe element is in contact with and moves along the latching surface during the movement, in particular during the movement of the transmission element.
The latching surface can have one or more latching points, into which the latching elements can engage. Thus, several latching positions are specified, which are formed, for example, by means of a level difference (niveauunterstried), in particular by depressions in the latching surfaces. In this way, a specific operating position or operating state of the operating device can be achieved in that: the operator moves the operating element and thus brings the operating element into one of the latching positions. Thereby, the operator simultaneously gets feedback on the achievement of the corresponding operating position. Furthermore, the gear and thus the operating element are fixed in the respective latching position by the latching device.
Thus, when the transmission element is moved about the rotational axis, the at least one latching element is moved along the latching surface until the latching element enters the depression or the difference in level of the latching surface as a whole and can be latched therein. In order to move the detent element further out of the detent position, the detent element must therefore be moved out of the level difference in the detent surface and thus overcome the pretensioning force exerted, for example, by a spring-pretensioned pin, so that finally a tactile feedback can be provided to the operator. The latching surface can be arranged in particular fixed relative to the housing, wherein the latching element can be connected to the transmission element. Of course, an arrangement opposite thereto is also possible, in which the latching element is fixed relative to the housing and the transmission element has a latching surface which moves relative to the latching element.
In addition, it can be provided in the operating device that the latching device has at least two latching elements, in particular spring-biased latching pins facing the latching surfaces. The two latching elements can be arranged, for example, in a V-shaped arrangement relative to the longitudinal axis of the transmission element. The arrangement of two latching elements further improves the latching and the tactile feedback to the operator. Furthermore, different contours and different latching positions can be formed, for example, by different depressions or level differences in the individual latching surfaces.
In addition, the invention relates to a motor vehicle comprising at least one operating device as described above, wherein the operating device is designed in particular as at least one operating device designed as a seat adjusting device or a gear selection device. Of course, all the advantages, details and features described in connection with the operating device can be transferred entirely to the motor vehicle.
The invention is elucidated below by means of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. The figures are schematic and show the operating device.
The sole figure shows an operating device 1, for example a seat adjusting device or a gear selection device, of a device, in particular for a motor vehicle (not shown). In principle, any arbitrary device can be operated or actuated by means of the operating device 1. The operating device 1 may be arranged, for example, in a motor vehicle, or the motor vehicle may have an operating device 1, in particular a device for operating the motor vehicle.
The operating device 1 comprises an operating element 2 which can be operated, for example, by an operator for operating a device assigned to the operating device 1. For example, the operating element 2 shows a handle by means of which an operator can grip the operating device 1 or interact with the operating device 1. The operating element 2 is guided by means of a guide device 3 such that the operating element 2 can perform a linear movement (illustrated with arrow 4). The guide device 3 has a guide element 5, which is coupled directly to the actuating element 2 or is connected directly or indirectly to the actuating element in this exemplary embodiment. Of course, a spaced or indirect coupling between the actuating element 2 and the guide element 5 is also possible. In this embodiment, the guide element 2 is designed as a plate and is guided in the holding element 6. The holding elements 6 are spaced apart from one another by a defined distance which is sufficient for the operating element 2 to move over the entire required movement space and for the path which the operating element 2 has to travel in the direction of the arrow 4.
In this embodiment, the guide element 5 and the operating element 2 have a recess 7 in which a transmission element 8 of a transmission 9 is received or into which the transmission element 8 of the transmission 9 engages at least partially or is aligned with the direction of the recess 7. In this embodiment, the transmission element 8 is designed as a lever element and is pivotable about an axis of rotation 10 (illustrated with arrow 11). For example, the gear 9 has a bearing surface 12, on which the gear 9 can be in contact with an inner housing wall 13.
A connecting device 14 is provided between the actuating element 2 or the guide element 5 and the transmission element 8, which connecting device has a compensating element 15 and a coupling element 16. The coupling device 14 is finally provided for combining the linear movement (arrow 4) of the operating element 2 exerted by the guide device 3 with the movement of the transmission element 8 about the axis of rotation 10 (arrow 11).
The joint element 16 (for example of a ball joint or a shaft joint) received in the compensation element 15 follows a circular path 17 indicated by a dashed line. Thus, by the movement of the transmission element 8, the joint element 16 is moved locally along the circular trajectory 17, thereby generating a relative movement between the joint element 16 and the compensation element 15. In other words, the joint element 16 rotates or pivots in the compensation element 15.
In this case, the actuating element 2 moves linearly (arrow 4), wherein the compensating element 15, by means of the coupling to the joint element 16, likewise follows a circular path 17 (indicated by arrow 18) and compensates for deviations from the movement, in particular from the circular movement. In other words, the compensation element 15 is provided for compensating for an offset between the transmission element 8 and the operating element 2. For this purpose, in the illustrated embodiment, the compensating element 15 is designed as a sliding block, for example, which can slide in the recess 7, so that the coupling between the actuating element 2 and the joint element 16 and thus the transmission element 8 is realized by the compensating element 15.
It is thereby possible to convert the movement of the actuating element 2, which is linear to the user, into a pivoting or circular movement via the transmission element 8 of the transmission 9. This increases the accuracy of the positioning and achieves a defined tactile sensation for the operator.
Furthermore, the gear mechanism 9 has two latching devices 19, each of which has a latching element 20, i.e. a spring-biased pin, which slides along a latching surface 21 when the gear mechanism 8 is moved. The level difference 22 on the detent surface 21 thereby specifies a defined position of the transmission element 8 and thus of the actuating element 2. In other words, the operator can move the operating element 2 and thus the catch element 20 into the level difference 22 (i.e. the depression in the catch surface 21). The occupied state is thereby stabilized, so that the operating element 8 stays in the occupied position on the operator side without further movement of the operating element 2. Further, tactile feedback is provided to the operator to achieve the defined operating state.
