Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch arrangement with a sliding contact that is displaceable on a base plate, the associated sliding path of which extends in a first level and with contact pieces that can be contacted by the sliding contact in a second level.
  • Such a switch arrangement is known from FR-A-1 362 279.
  • the contact pieces of a multi-stage rotary switch are divided into two contact carriers, which face each other in different planes parallel to the direction of rotation.
  • a sliding contact arranged between the parallel planes simultaneously contacts contact pieces from both contact piece levels.
  • Switch arrangements of this type are provided, for example, for actuating the air conditioning system in motor vehicles. If high currents are to be switched with such a switch arrangement, a high level of reliability of the contact is desirable. On the other hand, since wear cannot be ruled out, then at least the worn switch parts should be easily replaceable.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a switch arrangement of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which reliable contacting and easy interchangeability is provided.
  • the above object is achieved in that the slider track and the contact pieces are held on a carrier, that the sliding contact is displaceable beyond the slider track and the contact pieces, and that the carrier is detachably inserted next to the guide body in a recess in the base plate and is equipped with connecting elements.
  • connection elements of the carrier e.g. Knife contacts, make contact with the flat contacts of a plug and are therefore in connection with the connecting cables.
  • the plug is latched and detachably inserted into a recess in the housing.
  • the carrier and the plug can be inserted independently of one another into their recess in the housing and removed therefrom without the respective counterpart being moved out of its latching position.
  • the independently held plug cannot be pushed away and cannot be pulled along when it is removed.
  • the independently held carrier cannot be pushed away and cannot be pulled along when it is removed.
  • the sliding contact is slidable for contacting the individual contact pieces between them and the sliding track. It lies firmly on the grinding track on the one hand and on the contact piece in question on the other. If the contact pieces wear, the sliding contact is moved beyond the sliding track and the contact pieces so that they are free. The carrier can then be removed from the base plate and exchanged.
  • the switch arrangement can be designed as a slide switch when the sliding contact is moved in a straight line or as a rotary switch when the sliding contact is movable in a circular manner.
  • a rotary switch has a base plate 1 on which a rotary body 3 rotatable about an axis of rotation 2 is mounted. On the rotating body 3, a leaf spring 4 is attached, at the free end of which a sliding contact 5 is arranged.
  • the sliding contact 5 has an S-shaped curved grinding head 6.
  • a recess 7 is provided on the base plate 1, into which a carrier 8 is snapped. He sits on a web 9 of the base plate 1.
  • An easily releasable latching connection 10 is provided between the recess 7 and the carrier 8. When the locking connection 10 is released, the carrier 8 can be pulled out of the recess 7 in the direction of the arrow P to the front.
  • a grinder track 11 is fastened, which runs in a first plane 12 perpendicular to the axis of rotation 2 and extends in a circle around the axis of rotation 2.
  • a knife contact 13 is formed on the grinder track 11 as a connecting element, which protrudes above the carrier 8 on the side facing away from the grinder track 11 and contacts the flat contact 22 of the plug 24 through the web 9.
  • a plurality of contact pieces 14 are fastened to the carrier 8 and extend in a second plane 15 spaced apart from the first plane 12, the two planes 12 and 15 being parallel.
  • the contact pieces 14 lie under the wiper track 11.
  • Each contact piece 14 has a knife contact 16 which projects beyond the carrier 8 on the side facing away from the contact pieces 14 and contacts the flat contact 23 of the plug 24 below the web 9.
  • the base plate has a further recess 28 into which a plug 24 is snapped.
  • the insertion of the plug into its recess is also limited by the web 9.
  • the flat contacts 22, 23 are equipped with connecting sleeves 29 on their end facing away from the insertion side of the knife contacts 13, 16.
  • the connecting sleeve 29 is designed so that a cable 26 is held stationary and electrically connects.
  • the S-shaped grinding head 6 is located between the grinding track 11 and the contact pieces 14 (cf. FIGS. 2 and 3). By means of the leaf spring 4, the S-shaped grinding head 6 is prestressed in such a way that it is pressed with one bend 17 onto the sliding track 11 and with its other bend 18 against the respective contact piece 14.
  • a handle member 27 can be plugged against the direction of arrow P.
  • the rotating body 3 has on its side facing away from the grip member a locking toothing 19, in which a spring element 20 engages.
  • the interaction of locking toothing 19 and spring element 20 is such that the grinding head 6 contacts the respective contact piece 14 in the desired working position by the grinding element 6 being displaced by the action of the spring element 20 after the external action has ended via the grip member 27 until the latter takes a locking position in the locking teeth 19.
  • a guide groove 21 is arranged, into which a lever (not shown in more detail) engages to adjust an assembly which can be operated by means of the rotating body 3.
  • Units to be switched are connected to the flat contacts 23.
  • the grinding head 6 can be stepped forward from one contact piece 14 to the adjacent contact piece.
  • the respective contact piece 14 is thus electrically connected to the wiper track 11.
  • the clamping of the grinding head 6 between the grinding track 11 and the contact pieces 14 ensures reliable contact.
  • the latching described improves the contact with regard to the switching behavior, since the switching positions on the handle member 27 are recognizable.
  • the contact pieces 14 and the slider track 11 are preferably made of copper.
  • the sliding contact 5 is preferably made of less wear-prone bronze. If wear of the contact pieces 14 occurs in the course of time, the entire carrier 8 can easily be replaced from the front. For this purpose, the rotating body 3 is rotated so far that the grinding head 6 is no longer between the grinding track 11 and the contact pieces 14. Then the latching connection 10 is released and the carrier 8 with the sliding track 11 and the contact pieces 14 is pulled forward. Then the knife contacts 13 and 16 can be pulled off the respective flat contacts 22, 23, which then receive the knife contacts 13 and 16 of a new carrier 8. Finally, the new carrier 8 is snapped into the recess 7. The grinding head 6 can then be inserted again between the contact pieces 14 and the grinding track 11 by rotating the rotating body 3.
  • the base plate 1 can be removed from its position as a whole and, after processing which is then easy to carry out, can be reattached and put back into operation after the plug 9 has been plugged in.
  • the invention can advantageously be used as a separable electrical energy supply for electrical consumers arranged on the front.
