Definitions
- the present invention relates to a switching disc for an electrical timer according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such switching disks for electrical timers have found widespread use wherever certain circuits, such as for heating systems of various types, cooling and ventilation systems, continue to be switched on and off for automatically controlled systems in the most general sense, precisely in time and generally in accordance with a definable program must be, either because the facility in question requires a time-controlled mode of operation or because - especially in more recent times - the energy requirement should be kept to a minimum.
- the demands on the time switches have become increasingly stringent in two ways, firstly because the time levels of the switching program need to be set smaller and smaller so that the time program can be adjusted as precisely as possible, and secondly because the program is larger Periods, e.g. B. a week, wants to put together more and more variable from different sections.
- the weekly disk again with a diameter of approx. 60 mm, can then (see above) be divided into 84 sections, so that each time range of 4 x 0.5 hours switching time can be switched on or off together, in other words, that Resolution is not really reduced or improved to 0.5 hours for the whole week.
- the setting of the weekly program is very complicated with a combination of two or more switching disks and is difficult or impossible for operators who are not technically trained.
- DE-A-1 615034 describes a switching disk for an electrical timer according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the switching elements there have to because of the transverse grooves for the Detent in the two operating positions are very weak in terms of their rigidity and also have a guide bar in the middle over their entire length, but only on the side facing the base plate, have a certain minimum thickness. It follows from this that the program shown on the circumference, divided into switching stages according to the number of switching elements, either permits fewer switching stages, or that the diameter of the switching disk and thus the time switch itself must be dimensioned larger. Since the switching segments are guided exclusively in the grooves of the base plate, they are deflected laterally by the force of the lever or cam scanning the circumference of the switching plate, so that the switching time is not transferred exactly to the switching lever and the switching program is inaccurate.
- the present invention has for its object to improve a switching disc intended for use in a timer according to the preamble of claim 1 in the sense that it enables significantly shorter switching times than the previously known, without the also essential secondary requirements of captivity the switching elements - which is not fulfilled from the outset with switch riders or switching pins - and sufficient rigidity compared to the sensing element, as well as a responsible manufacturing effort, d. H. manufacturing with the simplest tools possible, despite ensuring the required dimensional accuracy.
- the basic idea of the invention is that the individual necessary functions of the switching elements and the concentric discs different, z. B. certain, particularly suitable radial or axial zones are assigned so that the guide area is used only for guidance, and the detent and operation in other, for. B. radial and axial zones more expedient for this purpose, so that they in turn are not burdened by the management task.
- This principle leads to the crucially important feature that the circumferential fractions falling on each switching element can be used in their full size for the width of the switching element plus a fit-air gap that is necessary in terms of production technology and not partially required for the webs between the openings or the like will.
- the guide web on the switching element, d. H. whose basic body, which is arranged or formed flush with a side surface and with a constant width - in contrast to the wedge-shaped switching elements - and this side surface thus remains in the same surface through the axis of the switching disc when the switching element is displaced, are the geometric relationships particularly effective because the switching element in question in the disengaged position against the direction of rotation of the switching disc, d. H. is supported under the contact pressure of the sensing element of the switching device against the adjacent disengaged or non-disengaged switching element, that is to say it behaves as if it were at least twice the stiffness.
- the associated tool, with which the switching elements are injection molded or similarly thermoformed can be designed with fewer and larger steps, i. H. be easier.
- Another advantage is brought about by the asymmetrical design of the cross section of the bead ring in the direction of displacement, because a smaller force has to be applied for disengaging the switching elements than for engaging, which is very convenient for the operation.
- Fig. 1a the undersides 1, 2 are shown in partial section «A-A through the hub 3 (see FIG. 2) of the cover plate 4, which is partially equipped with the switching elements 5 to 9 and of which the switching element 8 is disengaged;
- These undersides 1, 2 thus face the switching elements 5 to 9 and thus also the base plate (see FIG. 2) removed from the switching plate and in the outer radius area 10 with radial grooves (e.g. 11) of constant width over the entire length 12 at a distance 13 from each of the one side surfaces 14, 15 is equal to the circumferential fraction corresponding to the number of time stages of the switching program which is periodically equivalent to the rotation of the switching disk, i.e. H. up to that radius at which the switching elements, as will still be shown in connection with FIG.
- the switching disk rotates in the direction of the dashed circle arrow 18, so that the sensing element indicated by the solid line 19 as arrow 19 practically does not bend when striking the disengaged switching element 8 and thus does not distort the switching time.
- a side view of the switching element is shown on the left; the main part is formed from the upright, flat cuboid 31 with the nose integrally formed on it at one end, both of which have the maximum thickness of the wedge-shaped base body.
- the webs 35, 36 are integrally formed with a smaller but constant thickness 37, 38 (cf. right half of FIG. 1b).
- the upper web 35 extends to the inner end 39 of the nose 32, the lower web 36 over the entire length of the wedge-shaped base body.
- the lower surface 40 of the lower web 36 is formed on an inner part 41 of the length of the short web 42, which, as will be shown, serves to limit the displacement in the direction of the disengaged position.
- the arm 44 is integrally attached to the inner end 43 of the base body, so that it - as a tongue-shaped spring element 45 - has the smallest thickness 46 (cf. right half of FIG. 1b) of the wedge-shaped base body.
- These different thicknesses 37, 38, 46 and 47 at different points on the wedge-shaped base body, namely the cuboid 31, the nose 32, the tongue-shaped spring element 45 and the webs 35, 36 are special in the front view of the switching element of the right half of FIG. 1b good to see. So that the short web 42 does not cause any additional friction effects and only the longitudinal displacement limitation, it is weakened in a wedge shape along its length towards the lower end, so its thickness does not completely fill the width of the short web.
- FIG. 1c shows a top view of the base plate 67 partially equipped with switching elements 61 to 63 (not disengaged), 64 (disengaged) and 65, 66 (not disengaged) with the base plate 67 cut along “A'-A '” (FIG. 2) Hub 68, the cut sleeve 68a as an annular part of the hub 68 and the axis 69.
- the lugs 70, 71, ... 75 are integrally formed, at the inner end the tongue-shaped spring elements are z. B. 76 and between this and the nose z. B. 70 are the upper webs z. B. 77 molded in one piece.
- the switching element 64 Since the grooves, e.g. B. 78 for the invisible lower webs, as they have a constant thickness 79 over their entire length, the switching element 64 remains well fed in the disengaged position along the switching element 63, even if compared to the adjacent switching element 65 on the other side due to the taper of all switching elements, there is an enlarged air gap 80; however, this does not have a negative effect on the stability of the switching element 64, because this can be supported against the switching element 63 when the switching disc rotates in the direction of the ring arrow 81 when loaded by the sensing element symbolically indicated by the arrow 82. Both for Fig. 1a for the cover plate and in Fig.
- the thickness of the switching elements in the engaged displacement position is equal to the number of the circumference of the switching plate divided by its number at each displacement point minus a manufacturing air gap which is necessary for production purposes, thus has the maximum possible value at all.
- the groove 78 has in the inner part a section or a short groove 83 with a greater depth for the short web 42 (FIG. 1b); this lower part of the groove serves at its outer end 84 as a stop for the disengaged position of the switching element, while it is closed inwards by the outer wall 85 of the annular bead 86.
- the wedge-shaped annular bead 86 which can be seen from above in FIG. 1c will also be explained in detail in connection with the cross-sectional illustration of FIG. 2.
- the cross-sectional drawing in FIG. 2 shows the zone 101, which is formed here in the inner, ie radial, towards the engaged position of the switching elements, in a form-fitting manner with respect to one another and with one another connected to the axis 102 concentric disks of the complete switching disc, which in the adjoining zone 103 form a cylindrical circular empty zone perpendicular to the direction of displacement 104 for the form-fitting accommodation of the switching elements, ie more precisely their upright-flat cuboid 106 sufficient height 105.
- the cover disk 107 is composed of the inner hub-shaped part in the radial zone 101 and the ring disk-shaped part 108 formed above, the outer ring zone of which the radial grooves z. B. 109 with a constant depth over the length 110 with a radial arrangement according to FIG. 1a.
- the base disk 111 is positively placed on the actual hub 112 of the hub-shaped part of the cover disk 107 and then contains the annular bead 113 and the cylindrical-circular, ie. H. approximately disc-shaped empty zone 114, which contains the groove 115 with the inner short groove 116 over its entire radial length, of greater but otherwise constant depth than the outer piece of the groove 115.
- the upper web 117 and the lower web 118 of the switching element in question see FIG.
- the arm 126 which serves as a tongue-shaped spring element 125, is integrally formed on the core part formed as an upright flat cuboid 106 (cf. also FIG. 1b), the cams 127 of which slide on the surface of the annular bead 113.
- This design permits lower demands on the design of the tool for the switching element, because the demolding is easier due to the partial shapes associated with the individual different functions of guidance, actuation and detent in the direction of displacement — here radial.
- the switching element can be applied with a correspondingly small force on the nose 119, for. B. with a finger, by hand without any other aids; Conversely, a greater force must be applied for the engagement from the position 129 shown in dashed lines because of the relatively high steepness of the back piece 130 on which the back flank 131 'slides, but this is readily available because the entire area of a finger is open the outer surface 132 of the nose 119 can be pressed.
- the cover plate 107 Since the tongue-shaped spring element 125 itself can take over the elastic function in connection with the detent, the cover plate 107, which does not require any radial slots at a distance from the division of the circumference, is also simplified and thus also simplifies the tool for the cover plate.
- the sensing element - symbolically indicated by arrow 133 - can at least be in the disengaged position on the outer surface of the switching element and bring about one of the two operating states of the switching device readily recognizable that the inner surface 134 or also the upper outer surface 135 of the nose 119 can also be used in an analogous manner, that is to say partially in a reciprocal manner.
- the base plate is integrally formed on its lower outer surface Ring beads of rectangular (136) or semicircular (137) cross section is equipped, which for assembly reasons including the fit to the rest of the assembly group, for reasons of stiffening of the base plate, ie to ensure dimensional accuracy, especially because of the many and sometimes deep grooves or the like Reasons may be appropriate en;
- the cover disk has a closed surface, at least in an annular area 108, which is suitable for the application of markings, for example a 24-hour daily scale or a 7 ⁇ 24-hour weekly scale.
- FIG. 3 shows a variant analogous to the exemplary embodiment in FIGS. 1 and 2, which essentially differs from the latter only in that the direction 201 of the displacement of the switching element 202 is parallel to the axis 203 of the switching disc, which also composed of concentric disks, namely the cylindrical cover disk 204 and the pot-shaped base disk 205 with a form-fitting design and connection in the inner radial zone 206 in the lower part of the base disk 205 and the circular cylindrical empty zone 207 for the core piece 208 of the switching elements 202 is, the webs 212, 213 and the short web 214 in the axial grooves 209, 210 and 211 - exactly analog and correspondingly as in the case of FIG. 2 - out.
