Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch with an elastically deformable membrane provided in a housing as a partition between a contact space and an actuating space, an actuating body arranged movably in the actuating space parallel to the membrane, an intermediate plate provided between the actuating body and membrane with at least one cut out from the intermediate plate , on the one hand on the actuating body, on the other hand on the membrane supportable tongue, and with at least one actuatable by the actuating body via the tongue, arranged in the contact space contact bridge.
  • Such a switch is e.g. B. from DE-A-30 19 886 known.
  • the membrane closes the housing part which contains the movable and fixed contacts of the switch, so that they are well protected against environmental influences.
  • the actuating body cannot act directly on the movable contacts of the switch. Therefore, an intermediate plate is provided between the actuating body and the membrane, which converts the movement of the actuating body parallel to the membrane into a movement at right angles to the membrane surface.
  • the elastically deformable membrane is reversibly dented and z.
  • this object is achieved in that three tongues associated with a single actuating body are cut out of the intermediate plate, two outer tongues of which are arranged parallel to one another and with their free ends opposite to the free end of a central tongue, that two groups are arranged side by side in the contact space of three transverse bodies extending transversely to the direction of movement of the actuating body and parallel to the membrane are provided as fixed contacts, and that between each contact group and the membrane there is arranged a beam-like contact bridge, using the middle fixed contact as a pivot bearing, and the middle tongue one for action both contact bridges have a suitable width.
  • a membrane slide switch is advantageously created using only one actuating body, in which two contact bridges are always actuated at the same time when the actuating body is moved. It is achieved by a sensible design of the actuating tongues of the intermediate plate that the actuation of the two contact bridges, which takes place in one direction through the two outer tongues, is carried out together in the other direction by a single tongue.
  • a housing wall opposite the diaphragm on the side of the actuating space is provided with two cut-free wall parts that face each other with the free ends and run parallel to the direction of movement of the actuating body, that each wall part has one and the actuating body at the free end has two bumps which cooperate with the bumps of the wall parts to form locking positions of the anti-irritation body.
  • the two bumps of the actuating body are positioned in a central position of the actuating body with boundary surfaces facing away from one another between facing boundary surfaces of the wall part bumps.
  • the free ends of the wall parts between them limit a passage opening for a handle of the actuating body protruding from the housing, which results in a particularly simple design of the housing wall, which is opposite the membrane on the side of the actuating body
  • vorese within the scope of the invention hen be that the actuating body on its side facing the membrane for each tongue has an operating rib running parallel to the direction of movement of the actuating body, that the ribs provided with a run-on slope, approximately ending in the middle of the actuating body, protrude from a wall of the actuating body parallel to the membrane, that the tongues are approximately S-shaped and the S-bend adjacent to the free ends of the tongues is supported on the membrane and the other S-bend of each tongue is supported either on the wall of the actuating body parallel to the membrane or on an actuating rib, and that Contact bridge in the area of a contact point between an S-bend and the membrane is provided with a crank provided between a central and an external fixed contact and directed towards the membrane.
  • the middle fixed contact of each contact group has a smaller distance from the membrane than the other two fixed contacts of each contact group.
  • the fixed contacts consist of angled sections of L-shaped bent wire pieces, the other angled sections of which protrude from the housing of the switch as switch connecting elements.
  • the switch housing is composed of an upper housing part 1 and a lower housing part 2, both of which are made of plastic
  • These two housing parts are each approximately trough-shaped, the side walls 3 of the lower part 2 being encompassed by the side walls 4 of the upper part in a region of the upper part side walls in which the upper part side walls 4 have a smaller thickness.
  • the end faces 5 of the lower part side walls 3 face a gradation 6 of the upper part side walls 1 when the upper part 1 with the lower part 2, for. B. is connected by snapping projections 7 provided on the lower part (FIG. 2) into windows 8 provided for this purpose on the upper part.
  • a membrane 9 consisting of elastically deformable material and the edge 10 of an intermediate plate 11 are clamped in.
  • the membrane 9 engages with a circumferential, angled edge 12 in a wedge-shaped tapering gap 13 which is provided between the side walls 3 of the lower part 2 and the side walls 4 of the upper part transversely to the course of these walls in the overlap region of these walls.
  • the membrane 9 spans a space formed by the bottom 14 and the side walls 3 of the lower part 2 and closes it off from the outside.
  • the diaphragm 9 delimits an actuating space 16 formed by the walls of the upper part 1, in which an approximately block-shaped, plastic actuating body 17 parallel to the diaphragm 9 between end positions through the mutually opposite side walls 4 of the Upper part 1 are determined, can be moved back and forth translationally.
  • the actuating body 17 is supported (FIG. 2) on a wall 18 of the upper part 1, which is opposite the membrane 9 on the side of the actuating body 17
  • three tongues 19 are cut out of the intermediate plate 11, of which two outer tongues 19a are of identical design and point with their free ends in the same direction.
  • a middle tongue 19b is provided in the opposite direction to the outer tongues 19a.
  • each tongue 19 is supported on the actuating body 17.
  • An actuating rib 23 is assigned to each tongue 19.
  • Each actuating rib 23 begins approximately in the middle of the actuating body with a run-up slope and then extends to the end of the actuating body 17.
  • the actuating rib 23 assigned to the central tongue 19b is provided on the one side of the actuating body 17 in the actuating direction of the actuating body 17, while the two other actuating ribs 23 are located on the other side of the actuating body.
  • two groups of fixed contacts are provided, which are formed by the angled sections 24 of L - shaped wire pieces 25.
  • the other L-arm of these wire pieces 25 protrudes as a connection element 26 of the switch at right angles to the bottom 14 of the lower part 2 from the switch housing and can, for. B. soldered in grid holes of a circuit board 40.
  • Each of the two fixed contact groups consists of three L sections 24, which are arranged at a certain distance from one another in the direction of actuation of the actuating body 17 and are each aligned with the corresponding fixed contact of the other contact group.
  • a middle fixed contact 24a is arranged at a smaller distance from the membrane 9 than the two outer fixed contacts 24b of each contact group.
  • the middle fixed contact 24a of each contact group serves as a pivot bearing for a beam-shaped contact bridge 27 which, when swinging around the middle fixed contact 24a in one end position with one of its free ends 28, one of the outer fixed contacts 24b and in its other end position the other one Outer external contacts 24b each electrically connects to the central fixed contact 24a.
  • Each of the two contact bridges 27, each of which is assigned to one of the two contact groups, has, between its free ends 28 and the central fixed contact 24a, an offset 29 directed against the membrane 9, which is located where there is one provided at the free end of a tongue 19 S-curvature touches the membrane 9
  • the outer tongues 19a move the contact bridge 27 into their one end position when the actuating body 17 is in one end position
  • the middle tongue 19b moves the contact bridge 27 into the other end position when the actuating body 17 assumes its other end position
  • the approximately flat membrane 9 prevents one of the free ends 28 of the contact bridges 27 from contacting an external fixed contact 24b, since in this case each contact bridge 27 has one of the crankings 29 on the membrane before reaching an end position 9 triggers
  • the middle tongue 19b is widened at the end in such a way that it can act on both contact bridges at the same time, while each of the outer tongues 19a actuates only one of the two contact bridges
  • the tongues 19 hold the actuating body 17 pressed against the wall 18 of the upper part 1 in each of its positions.
  • a central strip of this wall 18, which extends in the direction of movement of the actuating body 17, consists of cut-free spring wall parts 30, which are connected on the root side only to those side walls 4 of the upper part 1 which limit the freedom of movement of the actuating body 17.
  • the free ends of the wall parts 30 form between them a passage opening 31 for a handle 32 of the actuating body 17, which protrudes from the housing 1, 2, and each have a bump 33 on their side facing the actuating space 16.
  • the actuating body 17 is also provided on its side facing away from the membrane 9 with two bumps 34.
  • a bump 34 engages behind a bump 33 when the actuating body 17 is in one of its end positions. As a result, the actuating body 17 is held in each of these end positions with a sufficient latching action.
  • the bumps 34 on the actuating body 17 lie in the actuating direction of the actuating body 17 at such a distance from one another that their sides facing away from one another each touch one of the bumps 33 of the wall parts 30 on their mutually facing side Ren when the actuator body 17 is in a middle position.
  • the bumps 33, 34 provided for locking the end positions are advantageously also used to produce a locking effect in the middle position of the actuating body 17, in which the contact bridges 27 are lifted off each of the two external fixed contacts 24b.
