In contrast, in the horizontal direction 38, the display holding device 37 and/or the display carrier unit and thus also the display 31 are firmly arranged at the front housing unit 23, in particular at the inner housing cover and/or the lower structural unit 33.
The adjustment unit 35 is shown in detail in fig. 2, 4 and 5. The adjustment unit 35 has a setting element 39 to set the position of the display holding device 37 and/or the display carrying unit and thus also the display 31 in the vertical direction 36. In the present embodiment, the setting element 39 comprises an eccentric. The eccentric 39 is arranged, in particular fastened, by means of screws 40 to the adjusting unit and the front housing unit 23, in particular to the inner housing hood and/or the lower assembly unit 33. In particular, the adjusting unit 35 is also arranged, in particular fastened, by means of screws 40 to the front housing unit 23, in particular to the inner housing hood and/or the lower assembly unit 33. For this purpose, the eccentric has a recess 41 arranged outside the center of the eccentric. Furthermore, the adjustment unit 35 has a sliding bearing 42, so that the setting element 39, in particular the eccentric, can be rotated about the screw 40. The axis of rotation 42 of the screw 40 here comprises the axis of rotation 43 of the setting element 39, in particular of the eccentric. Furthermore, the screw 40 can additionally be protected against undesired detachment of the screw 40 by means of a safety washer.
Furthermore, the setting element 39, in particular the eccentric, has an actuating element 44, see fig. 2 and 5. The setting element 39, in particular the eccentric, comprises at least one outer side embodied as an actuating element 44. Preferably, the outer side of the setting element 39, in particular of the eccentric, comprises at least a surface which is designed as a structured surface. In the present exemplary embodiment, the radially outwardly directed surface, in particular the edge surface, of the setting element 39, in particular of the eccentric, comprises embossments, which are formed as actuating elements 44.
The adjustment unit 35 furthermore has a support element 45 (fig. 2, 4, 5) which forms a display 31 and/or a display holding device 37 for supporting the display unit. The support element 45 is mounted so as to be movable in the vertical direction 36, wherein the position of the support element 45 can be set by means of the setting element 39, in particular by rotating the eccentric by a user. The support element 45 has a sliding surface for rotating the setting element 39, in particular the eccentric, on the side facing the setting element 39, in particular the eccentric. The support element 45 has a support surface for supporting the display 31 and/or the display holding device 37 on a side facing away from the setting element 39, in particular the eccentric.
The adjustment unit 35 further has a counter element 46 (fig. 2, 4, 5) formed with respect to the support element 45. Mating member 46 is constructed more solid and larger than support member 45. The setting element 39 is arranged in the vertical direction 36 between the support element 45 and the counter element 46. Furthermore, the support element 45 and the counter element 46 are formed integrally with one another. For this purpose, the support element 45 and the counter element 46 have a common tab 47, which tab 47 connects the two elements to each other (fig. 5). The tab 47 is arranged here between the setting element 39, in particular the eccentric, and the lower assembly 33 of the front housing unit 23. The tab 47 likewise has a recess 48 for the insertion of the screw 40 in order to lock and/or fix the adjusting unit 35 to the front housing unit 23, in particular to the inner housing cover and/or to the lower assembly unit 33 (fig. 5).
The adjustment unit 35 also has an anti-rotation element 49 (fig. 5). The anti-rotation element 49 is arranged here on the counter element 46 or is comprised by the counter element 46. The anti-rotation element 49 is arranged here on the side of the counter element 46 facing the housing hood and/or the lower assembly 33 of the interior of the front housing unit 23. In the present exemplary embodiment, the anti-rotation element 49 is preferably designed as a pin and/or a screw and is arranged and/or inserted in a recess of the counter element 46. Alternatively, the anti-rotation element 49 can also be formed in one piece with the counter element 46. The anti-rotation element 49 here extends away from the counter element in a sheet-like manner. In the event of a rotation of the setting element 39 and thus of the eccentric, the rotation and/or movement of the support element 45 in the horizontal direction 38 is prevented by means of the anti-rotation element 49.
For the anti-rotation, the front housing unit 23, in particular the inner housing shell and/or the lower assembly unit 33, has a guide groove 50, in which guide groove 50 the anti-rotation element 49 is guided (fig. 3). The guide groove 50 extends in the vertical direction 36 at the front housing unit 23, in particular at the inner housing hood and/or at the lower structural unit 33. The guide groove 50 has a width in particular in the horizontal direction 38, which corresponds to the width of the rotation preventing element 49, so that the rotation preventing element 49 is supported in the guide groove 50 without play in the horizontal direction 38, so that an undesired rotation of the adjusting unit 35 is also prevented. The guide groove 50 has a length in the vertical direction 36, which corresponds to a multiple of the height of the anti-rotation element 49, allowing movement in the vertical direction 36.
Furthermore, the front housing unit 23, in particular the inner housing hood and/or the lower assembly unit 33, has a receiving area 51 (fig. 2) for receiving the adjusting unit 35. In the present exemplary embodiment, the receiving area 51 comprises a recess in the lower assembly 33 and/or in the inner housing shell. Further, the receiving area 51 includes a guide groove 50 (fig. 3) for receiving the anti-rotation element 49.
In order to position the display 31 or rather the display holder 37 and/or the display support unit in the vertical direction 36, the display is rotated on the eccentric by a service technician and/or an installer. The distance from the rotation axis 43 to the edge region of the eccentric changes in the vertical direction 36. This causes: the support element 45 moves up or down together with the counter element 46. In this case, when the eccentric rotates, only the movement in the vertical direction 36 is transmitted to the support element 45 together with the counter bearing 46 by means of the anti-rotation element 49 and the guide groove 50.
While the details of the utility model have been illustrated and described in detail by means of preferred embodiments, the utility model is not limited by the examples disclosed and other variants can be derived therefrom by a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the utility model.
