Abstract

The switching device includes a rotary operating member (10) and at least two sensors (50,52) which are actuated when the operating member is rotated. The operating member is a toothed pulse wheel (10) into which at least two sprung tracer pins (20,22) mesh. The tracer pins actuate sensors (50,52) when the pulse wheel is rotated. The tracer pins may be displaced on the pulse wheel so that the sensors are actuated with a time delay, depending on the direction of the pulse wheel.

In Fig. 1 ist schematisch eine Vorderansicht einer von der Erfindung Gebrauch machenden Schaltvorrichtung und in Fig. 2 schematisch eine Seitenansicht der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Schaltvorrichtung gezeigt.In Fig. 1 is a schematic front view of a solubilizing use of the invention the switching device and in Fig. 2 schematically shows a side view of the switching device shown in Fig. 1.

Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

Eine Schaltvorrichtung, dargestellt in Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 umfaßt ein verzahntes Impulsrad 10, welches drehbar gelagert und mit einem Knopf 12 zur manuellen Betäti­ gung versehen ist.A switching device, shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 comprises a toothed pulse wheel 10 which is rotatably mounted and provided with a button 12 for manual actuation.

Am Umfang des Impulsrads 10 sind sich in etwa gegenüber­ liegend Fühlerelemente 20, 22 angeordnet. Die Füh­ lerelemente 20, 22 weisen eine auf die Verzahnung des Impulsrads 10 angepaßte Gestalt auf.On the circumference of the pulse wheel 10 , sensor elements 20 , 22 are arranged approximately opposite one another. The Füh lerelemente 20 , 22 have a shape adapted to the teeth of the pulse wheel 10 .

Die Fühlerelemente 20, 22 sind jeweils an einem Ende der Hebelärme von Hebeln 30, 32 angeordnet. Am anderen Ende der Hebelärme sind Schaltstößel 40, 42 angeordnet, durch die Tasterelemente 50, 52 betätigbar sind. The sensor elements 20 , 22 are each arranged at one end of the lever arms of levers 30 , 32 . Switch plungers 40 , 42 are arranged at the other end of the lever arms, by means of which button elements 50 , 52 can be actuated.

Die Hebel 30, 32 sind an Drehachsen 31 bzw. 33 drehbar gelagert und durch die Rückstellkraft von Rückstellfe­ dern 60, 62, die in der Höhe durch Höhenausgleichsele­ mente 61, 63 verstellbar sind, in einer Position gehal­ ten, in der die Fühlerelemente 20, 22 in die Verzahnung des Impulsrads 10 eingreifen.The levers 30 , 32 are rotatably mounted on axes of rotation 31 and 33 and th held by the restoring force of Rückstellfe 60 , 62 , the height by height compensation elements 61 , 63 , in a position in which the sensor elements 20 , 22 engage in the toothing of the pulse wheel 10 .

Durch eine Drehung des Impulsrads 10 rücken die Füh­ lerelemente 20, 22 aus der Verzahnung des Impulsrads 10 aus und betätigen über die Hebel 30, 32 und die Schaltstößel 40, 42 die Tasterelemente 50, 52, wie es in Fig. 1 im Falle der links dargestellten Bauteile: Fühlerelement 22, Hebel 32, Schaltstößel 42 und Ta­ sterelement 52 gezeigt ist.By rotating the impulse wheel 10 , the Füh lerelemente 20 , 22 from the teeth of the impulse wheel 10 and actuate the lever elements 30 , 32 and the switching plunger 40 , 42, the button elements 50 , 52 , as in Fig. 1 in the case of the left Components shown: sensor element 22 , lever 32 , switching plunger 42 and Ta sterelement 52 is shown.

Die Fühlerelemente 20 bzw. 22 und die ihnen zugeordne­ ten Hebel 30, bzw. 32 und infolge davon die Schaltstö­ ßel 40, 42 und Tasterelemente 50, 52 sind so angeord­ net, daß bei einer Drehung des Impulsrads 10 die Ta­ sterelemente 50, 52 zeitlich versetzt zueinander betä­ tigt werden. Beispielsweise ist - wie in Fig. 1 darge­ stellt - der Drehpunkt des linken Hebels 32 geringfügig tiefer angeordnet als der Drehpunkt des rechten Hebels 30. Auf diese Weise kann die Betätigungsreihenfolge und damit die Drehrichtung, wie auch der Drehwinkel des Im­ pulsrads 10 erfaßt werden.The sensor elements 20 and 22 and their assigned th lever 30 and 32 and, as a result, the switching plunger 40 , 42 and button elements 50 , 52 are so angeord net that the Ta ster elements 50 , 52 in time when the pulse wheel 10 rotates offset to each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the pivot point of the left lever 32 is arranged slightly lower than the pivot point of the right lever 30 . In this way, the sequence of operations and thus the direction of rotation, as well as the angle of rotation of the pulse wheel 10 can be detected.

Die Drehrichtung wird erfaßt in Abhängigkeit davon, ob zuerst das Tasterelement 50 und dann das Tasterelement 52 oder umgekehrt, zuerst das Tasterelement 52 und dann das Tasterelement 50 betätigt werden. Der Drehwinkel wird abhängig von der Anzahl der Tasterbetätigungen er­ faßt.The direction of rotation is determined depending on whether the button element 50 and then the button element 52 or vice versa, first the button element 52 and then the button element 50 are actuated. The angle of rotation is determined depending on the number of button presses.

Wie aus Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 hervorgeht, kann die Schalt­ vorrichtung auf einer Leiterplatte 90 angeordnet sein. Da sie einen sehr kompakten Aufbau aufweist, kann sie darüber hinaus (siehe Fig. 2) direkt vor einer wei­ teren Leiterplatte 92 angeordnet sein.As is apparent from Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the switching device can be arranged on a printed circuit board 90. Since it has a very compact structure, it can also be arranged directly in front of a white circuit board 92 (see FIG. 2).

Die obenbeschriebene Schaltvorrichtung weist insbeson­ dere nur eine sehr geringe Bauhöhe auf.The switching device described above particularly has only have a very low overall height.
