Definitions

  • the invention relates to a water and dirt-protected switch, which is intended in particular as a door contact switch for motor vehicles, with a switching pin axially displaceable against the pressure of a spring in the housing of the switch with a contact bridge and with contact connecting parts arranged on the switch housing.
  • the actuation path In door contact switches for motor vehicles, but which are generally also suitable for other applications, the actuation path generally corresponds directly to the switching path, that is to say a large actuation path also results in a large switching path. This often leads to space problems. In addition, a long switching distance also makes reliable sealing of the switches difficult and often requires several switch variants depending on the door gap dimension on the vehicle.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a space-saving switch which is sealed simply and reliably and can be used universally for different door gap dimensions, that is to say without the need for variants.
  • a switching lever for actuating the switching pin on the switch housing or switch flange is rotatably mounted about a pivot axis arranged transversely and laterally offset to the longitudinal axis of the switching pin and has a switching cam resting on the head of the switching pin , and that the switching pin on the actuating side of the switch is sealed from the switch housing by a membrane seal.
  • the invention has the advantage that a relatively large actuation path is converted into a substantially smaller switching path by the actuation of the switching pin by a pivotable switching lever with switching cams, such a switch being functionally reliable regardless of the size of the door gap.
  • the use of a membrane ensures a reliable seal between the switching pin and the switch housing.
  • the switch lever is designed as a cover cap for the switch flange and can be pivoted between an open position and a closed position in a stop-limited manner.
  • the shift lever is pivotably mounted on a switch flange connected to the switch housing in such a way that it lies completely flat and flush with the switch flange in the end position of the OFF function.
  • the switch flange and the shift lever also have interlocking latching parts which cooperatively bring about a lockable locking of the shift lever in the OFF position.
  • the shift lever can be provided with a locking device that locks the switch in the OFF function.
  • a resilient locking part protrudes from the switch flange, which engages in the locking position in a locking window with a locking projection on the shift lever.
  • a particularly simple stop limitation for the switching lever also results if it is in its open position with a stop surface parallel to the pivot axis on the upper side of the switch flange.
  • the switch lever in its open position is inclined at an angle of approximately 30 to 50 °, preferably approximately 40 °, with respect to the plane of the switch flange, and also if the switch cam at an acute angle of about 60 to 40 °, preferably about 50 °, is directed obliquely downward from the shift lever against the pivot axis.
  • the door contact switch 1 is mounted on the door spar of a motor vehicle so that the door frame acts on an eccentrically mounted switch lever 3 on the switch housing 2 or switch flange 11, which in turn carries an eccentrically arranged switching cam 4, which in turn has an axially displaceable switching pin 5 in the switch housing 2 electrical function of the switch triggers.
  • the switching lever 3 is designed as a cover cap for the switch housing 2 and can be pivoted between an open and a closed position in a stop-limited manner. In its open position of FIG. 1, the switching lever 3 is in a locking manner with a stop surface 3a parallel to the pivot axis 12 on the upper side of the switch flange 11.
  • switch housing 2 a plurality of combined contact / connection parts 6 with an impressed contact surface 7 are arranged.
  • a contact bridge 8 is pressed against the switching pin 5 by a compression spring 9.
  • This is encompassed by a membrane seal 10, which in turn is sealingly pressed against the switch housing 2 by a switch flange 11.
  • Switch housing 2 and switch flange 11 are by suitable measures, for. B. clipping connected.
  • the switching lever 3 with its switching cam 4 is rotatably mounted on or in the switch flange 11 about a pivot axis 12 which runs transversely to the actuating axis of the switching pin 5.
  • Part of the switch flange 11 is also a resilient latching part 13 which, when the switching lever 3 is completely pressed down into a latching window.
  • the desk is also fixed in a known manner in the body by means of retaining clips formed in one piece with the switch flange 11 in a conventional design or by separate clamping springs; these fasteners are therefore not shown in the drawing.
  • the switch flange 11 and the shift lever 3 are also formed with stops so that the shift lever 3 pivotally mounted in or on the switch flange 11 cannot be moved beyond a predetermined opening angle.
  • the switch installed in a corresponding body opening is in the ON switch position of FIG. 1 when the vehicle door is open.
  • the circuit is closed. If the vehicle door is closed, the shift lever 3 moves from its open position inclined at an angle of approximately 30 to 50 °, preferably approximately 40 °, in FIG.
  • Switch flange 11 and switching lever 3 are dimensionally designed so that the door gap remaining when the door is completely closed holds the switching lever 3 only so far towards the switch flange 11 that the locking part 13 and the locking window 14 with locking projection 14a does not yet come into effect .
  • the shift lever 3 is pressed by hand until it engages into the position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1, in which the hook-shaped latching part 13 engages behind the latching projection 14a on the latching window 14. The locking can be easily canceled by bending back the locking part 13.
  • the switch can be provided with two, three or more combined contact / connection parts 6.
  • three combined contact / connecting parts 6 can be effected for an improved switching sequence, a symmetrical loading of the contact bridge 8 by an additional projection 18 on the switch housing 2.
  • the contact / connecting parts 6 can be fastened in the switch housing 2 in different conventional ways, but expediently so that there is no leakage to the inside of the switch.
  • An annular extension 19 of the switch housing 2 can also be designed to be sealing in accordance with the plug part of a connecting cable.
