Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Multifunktions-Bedieneinrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a multifunction control device with the Features of the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer derartigen Einrichtung, wie sie aus der DE 38 36 555 A bekannt ist, kann das Schaltglied in drei voneinander verschiedenen Richtungen bewegt werden. Es handelt sich dabei um die beiden Drehrichtungen sowie die Axialrichtung des Schaltglieds. Durch die Axialbewegung des Schaltglieds kann eine Schaltfunktion ausgelöst werden (Enter-Funktion).With such a device, as is known from DE 38 36 555 A, can the switching element can be moved in three different directions. It are the two directions of rotation and the axial direction of the Switching element. A switching function can be performed by the axial movement of the switching element be triggered (enter function).

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, den Gebrauchsnutzen der Bedieneinrichtung weiter zu steigern.It is an object of the invention to further improve the utility of the operating device to increase.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention solves this problem by the features of claim 1.

Durch die zusätzliche Möglichkeit, das Schaltglied zu verschwenken kann die Me­ nü-, Funktions- bzw. Funktions-Werteauswahl schnell und sicher getroffen werden. Das Schaltglied vereinigt dann die Funktionalität des aus der DE 38 36 555 A be­ kannten Dreh-/Druck-Schalters und des sogenannten Joysticks. Diese Anwendung ist insbesondere bei Fahrzeugen von besonderem Vorteil, da dadurch die Ablen­ kung vom Verkehrsgeschehen, wie sie mit dem Betätigen der Bedieneinrichtung verbunden ist, minimiert werden kann und gleichzeitig die Zielsicherheit bei der Auswahl von Menü, Funktion bzw. Funktionswert optimiert wird.Due to the additional possibility of pivoting the switching element, the Me nü, function or function value selection can be made quickly and safely. The switching element then combines the functionality of be from DE 38 36 555 A Known rotary / pressure switch and the so-called joystick. This application is particularly advantageous in vehicles, as this leads to the deflection kung from the traffic, as with the operation of the control device connected, can be minimized and, at the same time, the certainty of the target Selection of menu, function or function value is optimized.

In den weiteren Patentansprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung dargestellt. Anhand der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung weiter erläutert. Es zeigt Advantageous refinements of the invention are in the further patent claims shown. The invention is further explained on the basis of the drawing. It shows

Fig. 5 Diagramme zur Erläuterung der Wirkungsweise der in den Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellten Bedieneinrichtungen. Fig. 5 are diagrams for explaining the operation of the control means shown in Figs. 1 to 4.

Die in den Figuren dargestellten Bedieneinrichtungen besitzen sämtlich einen ke­ gelförmigen Betätigungskopf 1 als Teil eines Schaltglieds 2, der durch die Hand des Bedieners entsprechend seinen Bedienwünschen geschwenkt, gedreht und gedrückt werden kann.The control devices shown in the figures all have a ke gel-shaped actuating head 1 as part of a switching element 2 , which can be pivoted, rotated and pressed by the hand of the operator according to his operating requirements.

Zum Ermöglichen der Schwenkbewegung in zwei zueinander senkrechten Rich­ tungen (+x/-x und +y/-y) ist das Schaltglied 2 schwenkbar über ein Kugelgelenk 3 in einem Gehäuse 4 gelagert. Mit dem Betätigungskopf 1 verbunden ist eine Welle 5, die in einer Bohrung 6 drehbar und relativ zu dieser axial beweglich ist. Dadurch wird die Bewegung des Betätigungskopfs 1 um seine Achse 7 (±π) und in Axialrich­ tung (z) erreicht.To enable the pivoting movement in two mutually perpendicular directions (+ x / -x and + y / -y), the switching element 2 is pivotally mounted via a ball joint 3 in a housing 4 . Connected to the actuating head 1 is a shaft 5 which is rotatable in a bore 6 and axially movable relative to the latter. As a result, the movement of the actuating head 1 about its axis 7 (± π) and in the axial direction (z) is achieved.

Für die Schwenkbewegung des Betätigungskopfs 1 sind Mikrotaster 8 und 9 (+x bzw. -x) sowie um 90° dazu versetzt weitere Mikrotaster (+y, -y) angeordnet, die beim Verschwenken des Betätigungskopfs 1 über ein Auslegerelement 10 und Betätigungsarme 11 betätigt werden.For the pivotal movement of the actuating head 1 , micro-buttons 8 and 9 (+ x or -x) and further micro-buttons (+ y, -y) offset from one another by 90 ° are arranged, which operate when the actuating head 1 is pivoted via a cantilever element 10 and actuating arms 11 will.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel von Fig. 3 ist als Begrenzung für die Bewegung des Betätigungskopfs 1 ein als Nockenrad 12 ausgebildeter mechanischer Anschlag­ körper vorgesehen, der parallel zum Auslegerelement 10 liegt und der zusätzlich um die Achse 7 drehbar ist. Hierfür ist ein Antrieb 13 vorgesehen. Mit Hilfe des Nockenrads 12 und des Auslegerelements 10 ist es nunmehr möglich, entspre­ chend der jeweils einstellbaren Funktion bzw. des einstellbaren Menüs bzw. Funk­ tionswerts die Bewegung des Betätigungskopfs 1 in den vier möglichen Schwen­ krichtungen ±x bzw. ±y freizugeben bzw. zu sperren, indem die Bewegung der Betätigungsarme 11 blockiert oder freigegeben wird.In the embodiment of FIG. 3, a mechanical stop body designed as a cam wheel 12 is provided as a limitation for the movement of the actuating head 1 , which is parallel to the cantilever element 10 and which is additionally rotatable about the axis 7 . A drive 13 is provided for this. With the help of the cam wheel 12 and the cantilever element 10 , it is now possible to release or approve the movement of the actuating head 1 in the four possible pivoting directions ± x or ± y according to the respectively adjustable function or the adjustable menu or function value lock by blocking or releasing the movement of the actuating arms 11 .

Dies ist anhand von Fig. 4 erläutert. Das Nockenrad 12 ist in Fig. 4 in der Drauf­ sicht gezeigt. Es ist in 16 verschiedenen Drehlagen einstellbar, in jeder dieser Drehlagen korrespondieren zwei gegenüberliegende Innenflächen sowie dazu je­ weils senkrechte Innenflächen mit den insgesamt 4 Auslegern 14 bis 17, die am Auslegerelement 10 angeordnet sind.This is explained with reference to FIG. 4. The cam wheel 12 is shown in Fig. 4 in the top view. It can be set in 16 different rotational positions, in each of these rotational positions two opposite inner surfaces as well as vertical inner surfaces each correspond to the total of 4 arms 14 to 17 , which are arranged on the arm element 10 .

In der in Fig. 4a gezeigten Einstellung ist die Bewegbarkeit des Schaltglieds 1 in den Richtungen ±x blockiert. Die Ausleger 15 und 17 sind durch entsprechende Gestaltung der korrespondierenden Oberflächen des Nockenrads 12 nicht beweg­ bar. In den beiden dazu senkrechten Richtungen ±y hingegen ist das Schaltglied 1 beweglich. Die Ausleger 14 und 16 besitzen einen freien Bewegungsraum.In the setting shown in Fig. 4a, the mobility of the switching element 1 in the directions ± x is blocked. The arms 15 and 17 are not movable by appropriate design of the corresponding surfaces of the cam wheel 12 . In contrast, the switching element 1 is movable in the two directions ± y perpendicular thereto. The arms 14 and 16 have a free movement space.

Wird das Nockenrad 12 in Richtung des Pfeiles 18 in die nächste Drehlage ge­ dreht, so ist nunmehr der Betätigungskopf 1 in ±x Richtung beweglich, in ±y Richtung hingegen arretiert (Fig. 4b).If the cam wheel 12 rotates in the direction of arrow 18 into the next rotational position, the actuating head 1 can now be moved in the ± x direction, but locked in the ± y direction ( FIG. 4b).

In der nächsten Drehlage (Fig. 4c) ist die Schwenkbarkeit des Betätigungskopfs 1 in allen möglichen Richtungen ±x und ±y gegeben. In der nächsten Drehlage (Fig. 4d) sind sämtliche Schwenkbewegungen ±x und ±y blockiert.In the next rotational position ( FIG. 4c), the actuating head 1 can be swiveled in all possible directions ± x and ± y. In the next rotational position ( Fig. 4d) all swivel movements ± x and ± y are blocked.

Die Sperrung einer oder mehrerer Schwenkbewegungsrichtungen des Schaltglieds 1 korrespondiert mit den Möglichkeiten, aus mehreren Menüs eines auszuwählen bzw. aus mehreren Funktionen sich für eine zu entscheiden bzw. zu einer Funktion einen Sollwert vorzugeben. Diese Auswahlmöglichkeit kann durch eine entspre­ chende Darstellung auf einem Bildschirm unterstützt werden.The blocking of one or more swiveling directions of movement of the switching element 1 corresponds to the possibilities of selecting one from several menus or of choosing from several functions or of specifying a setpoint value for a function. This selection option can be supported by a corresponding display on a screen.

Kann eine Auswahl nur in bezogen auf den Bildschirm horizontaler oder vertikaler Bewegungsrichtung erfolgen, so wird der Betätigungskopf 1 durch eine entspre­ chende Einstellung des Nockenrads 12 ebenfalls nur in dieser Richtung (±x bzw. ±y) freigegeben. Dies ist in Fig. 5a bzw. 5b schematisch dargestellt. Fkt. 1-Fkt. 5 steht stellvertretend für jeweils ein Menü, eine Funktion oder aber auch einen Funktionswert.If a selection can only be made with respect to the horizontal or vertical direction of movement relative to the screen, the actuating head 1 is also only released in this direction (± x or ± y) by a corresponding setting of the cam wheel 12 . This is shown schematically in FIGS. 5a and 5b. Fct. 1-Fct. 5 represents a menu, a function or a function value.

Sind die auswählbaren Menüs, Funktionen bzw. Funktionswerte auf dem Bild­ schirm kreisförmig angeordnet, so wird die Bewegbarkeit des Betätigungskopfs 1 in ±x und ±y blockiert (entspricht der Drehlage von Fig. 4d). In diesem Fall erhält der Benutzer haptisch die Information, daß er lediglich eine Drehbewegung des Betätigungskopfs 1 (±π) vornehmen kann.If the selectable menus, functions or function values are arranged in a circle on the screen, the mobility of the actuating head 1 is blocked in ± x and ± y (corresponds to the rotational position of FIG. 4d). In this case, the user receives haptically the information that he can only make a rotary movement of the actuating head 1 (± π).

Durch die haptische Rückmeldung erhält der Benutzer somit unmittelbar die Infor­ mation über die möglichen Betätigungsrichtungen für den Betätigungskopf 1. Es ist dann auch möglich, auf eine Bildschirmunterstützung vollständig oder zumindest weitgehend zu verzichten und damit die Ablenkung vom Verkehrsgeschehen zu minimieren.The haptic feedback provides the user with immediate information about the possible actuation directions for the actuation head 1 . It is then also possible to completely or at least largely dispense with screen support and thus to minimize the distraction from the traffic situation.

Anstelle des Nockenrads 12 für sämtliche mögliche Schwenkbewegungsrichtungen ±x und ±y kann für den Betätigungskopf 1 auch eine Kreuzschlitzführung (nicht dargestellt) vorgesehen sein, und die Bewegbarkeit innerhalb des jeweiligen Schlit­ zes durch ein separates und unabhängig von den anderen steuerbares Anschlag­ element begrenzt bzw. freigegeben werden.Instead of the cam wheel 12 for all possible pivoting movement directions ± x and ± y, a cross-slot guide (not shown) can also be provided for the actuating head 1 , and the mobility within the respective slot is limited by a separate and independently controllable stop element or be released.

Durch die Erfindung wird es auch möglich, während der Bewegung in einer der Ebenen Menü, Funktion oder Funktionswert schnell in die nächste Ebene wechseln zu können. Dies sei anhand eines Beispiels erläutert. Ausgehend von Fig. 5b sei es möglich, innerhalb der gewählten Fkt. 4, hier als "Bordcomputer" ("BC") ange­ nommen, die einzelnen BC-Funktionen wie Reichweite, Durchschnittsverbrauch, usw. durch Drehen des Betätigungskopfs 1 abzufragen. Diese BC-Funktionen be­ finden sich auf der durch drei parallele Striche symbolisierten Anzeigefläche 20 des Bildschirms mit ihrem Symbol im Kreis angeordnet. Durch entsprechendes Drehen des Betätigungskopfs 1 wird das jeweilige Symbol optisch hervorgehoben, z. B. hellgetastet und der jeweilige Funktionswert nach Drücken des Betätigungskopfs 1 zur Anzeige gebracht. The invention also makes it possible to quickly switch to the next level during the movement in one of the menu, function or function value levels. This is explained using an example. Starting from Fig. 5b, it is possible, within the selected Fct. 4, here as "on-board computer"("BC"), to query the individual BC functions such as range, average consumption, etc. by turning the actuating head 1 . These BC functions are located on the display surface 20 symbolized by three parallel lines of the screen with their symbol arranged in a circle. By turning the actuating head 1 accordingly, the respective symbol is highlighted, e.g. B. palpated and the respective function value after pressing the actuating head 1 displayed.

Soll nun in eine andere Fkt. übergewechselt werden, z. B. in Fkt. 1, hier als ,,Navigation" angenommen, ist es lediglich erforderlich, den Betätigungskopf 1 in +y-Richtung zu verschwenken. Es werden der Reihe nach die Felder Fkt. 3 , Fkt. 2 und Fkt. 1 optisch hervorgehoben und bei Hervorhebung des Felds Fkt. 1 die ein­ zelnen Funktionen des Navigationsmenüs auf der Anzeigefläche 20 mit ihren Sym­ bolen im Kreis angeordnet und durch Drehen des Betätigungskopfs 1 vorauswähl­ bar bzw. durch Drücken des Betätigungskopfs 1 auswählbar.Should now be changed to another Fct. B. in Fct. 1, here adopted as "navigation", it is only necessary to swivel the actuating head 1 in the + y direction. The fields Fct. 3, Fct. 2 and Fkt. 1 become optical one after the other highlighted and highlighting the field Fkt. 1 the individual functions of the navigation menu on the display surface 20 with their symbols arranged in a circle and preselectable by turning the actuating head 1 or selectable by pressing the actuating head 1 .
