Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical switch with a slidably mounted in the housing, coupled to an actuating member rotatably articulated on the housing and carrying a slider for a potentiometer slide.
- a switch is known from US-A 3,711,666.
- Such switches are mostly used for electrically operated hand tools, with the help of the grinder and the potentiometer track, the speed of the motor of this hand tool can be continuously increased from a standstill to a predetermined maximum value.
- any existing switch contacts can also be closed, also via the actuating member, thereby bridging the electronics of the motor drive. The engine then runs at the specified maximum speed.
- the actuating member is designed as a button that is pressed in in the direction of movement of the slide and is usually returned with the aid of a return spring as soon as the actuating force is eliminated.
- actuation via a push button is not very advantageous. This is mainly due to the fact that gloves are worn when working with such devices, which make pressing the relatively small button difficult and also hardly allow a sensitive adjustment over the control range of the potentiometer.
- the object of the invention is therefore to develop a switch with a slidably mounted in the housing, coupled to a rotatably articulated actuator and carrying a slider for a potentiometer slide so that. reduce its dimensions and thereby reduce its space requirement.
- the electrical switch of this type is characterized in that the actuating member is coupled to the slider via a pivot member mounted on the housing.
- This pivoting member can be attached and coupled at both ends to the elements to be coupled, namely the actuator on the one hand and the slide on the other, that the actuator can be placed over the housing of the switch.
- the dimensions, measured in the direction of actuation of the slide are significantly reduced because an extension arm of the housing is now no longer required.
- the advantageous use of a swivel button instead of a push button remains, whereby this switch can still be gripped with several fingers of the hand.
- the actuating member can still be pivoted with sufficient feeling even when using a comparatively thick mitt.
- the grinder can be moved evenly along the potentiometer path as before, which leads to a harmonious cranking of the motor.
- the pivoting movement of the actuating member can be converted into a translational movement of the slide in a known and simple manner via the pivoting member.
- this switch is very inexpensive to manufacture and robust. You can store the actuator both on the switch housing directly and on a removable switch cover. The mutual articulation must be chosen in a known manner so that the necessary relative movements can take place. Nevertheless, it is possible to keep the adjustment movement of the swivel member relatively small.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention provides in this connection that the pivot member is coupled to the slide on the one hand and the actuating member on the other hand in each case via a pin-elongated hole connection.
- Longitudinal spigot connections are easy to manufacture, easy to assemble and, especially when using plastic, maintenance-free.
- the swivel member be designed as a double lever and in particular be approximately C-shaped, the two C-leg ends each engaging in a receptacle of the slide or actuating member.
- the shape of the swivel member could also be described as angular. Both only approximate the effective form. The exact shape results from the design of the other switch parts and the available space including the space required for the swivel movement and the potentiometer.
- the new switch can be changed with the aid of an adjusting device and can therefore be preset.
- the largest possible swivel angle of the actuator is the largest swivel movement of the swivel member assigned.
- the length of the potentiometer track is designed so that the entire potentiometer track can be used at the maximum angle of rotation of the pivoting member or vice versa. If you shorten the pivoting angle of the actuating member and thus also that of the pivoting member with the aid of the adjusting device, the pivoting movement of the actuating member ends before the grinder has reached the other end of the potentiometer. This means that you can use this setting device to preset the maximum achievable speed. This is advantageous, for example, if screws are to be screwed in with a drilling machine, which is known to happen at a very low speed. The adjusting device prevents that you accidentally exceed the desired maximum speed by depressing the actuator too much.
- a preferred variant of such a switch in which the maximum actuation path can be limited by means of a threaded, only rotatable adjusting member on the actuating member, the pivoting member being connected indirectly to the actuating member via a lifting member of the adjusting device, and the lifting member being coupled to the adjusting member via a threaded connection is characterized in that the lifting member is mounted displaceably in the direction of the rotary movement of the actuating member on the latter and the pivoting member is coupled indirectly to the actuating member via the lifting member.
- the actuating member can be pivoted towards the switch housing without changing the starting position of the grinder on the potentiometer path.
- the remaining reduced swivel angle of the actuating member has the result that the grinder is only in the middle of the potentiometer path, for example, when the shortened swiveling movement of the actuating member has ended.
- the shorter the distance of the grinder on the potentiometer the lower the maximum speed of the electric motor of the hand tool.
- a further development of the invention is characterized in that the receptacle of the slide has two oblong holes which extend transversely, in particular perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the latter, into each of which engages a bolt end of a first bolt held in the associated pivot member end.
- Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the pivot member end assigned to the actuating member or the lifting member carries a second bolt, the free ends of which are mounted in a longitudinal slot of the actuating member or the lifting member, in particular open to the edge, or vice versa, these longitudinal slots being transverse , In particular extend perpendicular to the direction of adjustment of the lifting member in the actuator.
- a further preferred embodiment of the invention consists in that the displacement movement of the lifting member is limited by an inner surface of the actuating member on the one hand and a thickened inner end of the threaded spindle of the adjusting member on the other hand, the thickened end preferably being formed by a snap ring or the like.
- the snap ring in particular allows simple and inexpensive assembly and manufacture of the parts in question.
- Switch-on position is understood here to mean the switch position in which the movable contact or contacts are present on the fixed switch contacts when the electronics are bridged.
- the slide 2 is displaceable in the sense of the double arrow 3 against the resistance of a return spring 4, which is supported with one end on the housing wall 5 and the other end on the associated slide end 6.
- a return spring 4 which is supported with one end on the housing wall 5 and the other end on the associated slide end 6.
- Moving the slide 2 from the right end position shown in FIG. 1 into the left end position shown in FIG. 2 is achieved with the aid of an actuating member 7 with the interposition of a swivel member 8.
- the latter is rotatably mounted on the housing 1 about an axis 9. It has an approximately C-shaped shape.
- the slide 2 carries a grinder 10 which interacts with a potentiometer track 11 of a potentiometer plate 12 assigned to the bottom 13 of the housing.
- the length of the potentiometer track 11 corresponds approximately to the maximum displacement of the slide 2 and thus also the grinder 10.
- the pivot member is coupled at both ends via a pin-slot connection 14 or 15 with the actuating member 7 on the one hand and the slide 2 on the other.
- the pin-slot connection 14 consists of the slot 16 on the lever arm 18 of the swivel member 8 designed as a two-armed lever on the one hand and a bolt 17 anchored in the actuator 7.
- the free end of the other lever arm 19 of the swivel member 8 carries a bolt 20, both of which laterally projecting ends engage in an elongated hole 21 at the right end of the slide, the two elongated holes of course being congruent. They run approximately perpendicular to the direction of displacement 3.
- the longitudinal axis of the elongated hole 16 in the switch position of the switch extends approximately in the longitudinal direction of the actuating member 7 (FIG. 2).
- the lever arm 19 of the swivel member 8 likewise runs approximately perpendicular to the direction of displacement 3, while the longitudinal axis of the lever arm 18 in the initial position of the switch, roughly viewed, runs approximately in the longitudinal direction of the actuating member 7. Otherwise, the assignments of elongated hole and bolt can also be reversed.
- a contact arm 24 is pivotally mounted in a housing bearing 22 and a further contact arm 25 is pivotally mounted in a further housing bearing 23.
- the housing bearing 23 is made in one piece with a connection element 28 of the switch.
- the contact arms 24 and 25 designed as two-armed levers carry movable contacts 26 and 27 which cooperate with fixed contacts 29 and 30, respectively. The latter are located in a known manner on switch connection elements 31 and 32.
- the contact pairs 26 and 29 or 27 and 30 bridge a switch electronics to which the potentiometer 10, 11 belongs.
- Tension springs 33 and 34 which are hooked into a, in particular molded, bolt of the housing on the one hand and are attached with their other end to the left lever arm of their associated contact arm in FIG. 1, are under tension when the contacts are open, and they pull the contact arm into its contacting position Position as soon as the right lever arm of each contact arm is released. In the starting position, the free arcuate end of each contact arm rests on an associated cam 35 or 36 of the slide 2.
- a pair of contact arms can also be provided in a manner not shown on the left side of the slide 2, which is visible in FIG. 1, and also on the right side thereof.
- different cam arrangements of the left and right side as well as the upper and lower side are easily possible in order to achieve different switching characteristics.
- the second exemplary embodiment of the invention provides for indirect pivoting of the pivot member 8 or pivot member lever arm 18 on the actuating member 7.
- the connection again takes place via the elongated hole 16 and a bolt 17.
- the latter passes through the elongated hole 16 of the swivel member 8, and its free ends engage in an open-ended slot 42 of a fork-shaped end 43 of a lifting member 44.
- the bolt 17 could also be fixed firmly in the lever arm 18 of the pivoting member 8, and one would then still have a pin-slot connection via the slot 42 which is open at the edge.
- the reverse arrangement of elongated hole or slot and pin is also possible here.
- the lifting member 44 can be adjusted in the sense of the double arrow 45 relative to the actuating member 7.
- a rotatable adjusting member 46 with a preferably knurled head 47 is used for this purpose. Due to a collar 48, the adjusting member 46 is rotatably but immovably mounted in the actuating member 7. In contrast, the lifting member 44 can only be moved up and down, but is non-rotatably mounted in the actuator 7.
- the longitudinal guidance is achieved with the aid of two strips 49 and 50 which project in opposite directions and which engage in corresponding groove-like guides 51 and 52 on opposite walls of the actuating member 7.
- the edge-open slots 42 of the lifting member receptacle 53 run approximately perpendicular to the direction of displacement 45 of the lifting member 44, which of course extends in the axial direction of the adjusting member 46.
- the adjusting member is a screw with a bolt thread 54 which can be screwed into a corresponding nut thread 55 of the lifting member 44.
- the upper end position of the lifting member 44 is determined by an inner surface 56 of the actuating member 7, while the lower end position of the lifting member 44 shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG. 3 is determined by a snap ring 57 or another thickening at the free end of the adjusting member 46.
- the actuating member 7 carries a locking lever 59 which can be pivoted in the direction of the double arrow 60. It is designed as a double-armed lever and is mounted on an axis 62 at the end of the actuating member 7 remote from the axis.
- One of its lever arms carries an actuating handle 63, which is preferably molded on. At the free end of the other lever arm there is a barb-like locking member 61.
- the locking member 61 engages under the transverse edge 64 (FIG. 5) of a wall 65 of a side housing attachment of the switch housing 1, which wall extends parallel to the wall 66 of the actuating member 7. Two such walls 65 are expediently attached in parallel, one below the other free end of the locking member 61 can occur. In the inoperative position of the locking lever 59, the locking member 61 can be moved along the vertical edge 66 of the wall or walls 65.
- the pivot axis of the actuator 7 is designated 67.
- the bearing 68 of the swivel member 8 passing through the housing 1 is located on the outside and is covered in a dustproof manner by means of a sleeve 69.
