Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electrical switch and, more particularly, a switch forming an electrical switching assembly, in particular for controlling equipment and accessories on board automobiles.
- an electronic delay can be provided, a command by fleeting pressing of a switch key, a selection of several functions, a progressive command by pulses, the detection and taking into account of various parameters. , etc.
- Examples of application are the automatic control of the window regulators or the control of a heated rear window with time delay.
- control assemblies for such devices thus comprise three elements: a manual switching device for low currents or actual switch - an electronic part for managing the function - switching devices for high currents or power circuit (relay) for controlling load.
- the switches ensuring the double function described above already exist and they implement, for obtaining the "hard point" or transition from a first mode to the second operating mode, a ramp effect with discontinuity.
- the first race is carried out either with a ramp or by means of a conventional snap-action mechanism with click, derived from existing single-stroke devices.
- the second race is also carried out with a ramp which does not make it possible to obtain a tactile click effect with a short stroke.
- push-button microswitches comprising two blistering contacts arranged one above the other, and capable of being soldered on a printed circuit.
- their tactile performance is really low and their size and cost are such that they could not be used for controlling several operating modes.
- the present invention aims to provide a switch which is simple to manufacture despite the number of parts it can include and with a relatively low cost compared to existing switches, while having superior performance.
- the present invention relates to an electric switch, of the type comprising a manual control member which is pivotally articulated on a housing in which is mounted an electrical interconnection circuit of which at least one control function is ensured by at least one contact.
- blistering and it is characterized in that it comprises at least two blistering contacts arranged substantially in the same plane and actuated one after the other by an actuating member which is interposed between said blistering contacts and said manual member of ordered.
- An advantage of the present invention lies in the fact that a tactile tactile effect is obtained with a short stroke of the manual control member of the switch.
- the switch comprises four blistering contacts arranged substantially in the same plane and each cooperating with a contact pin of a spreader which is mounted floating between the manual control member and said blistering contacts.
- the contacts depending on the operating logic adopted, are capable of switching even higher currents to activate the motor of a window regulator, for example.
- the one-touch switch allows, by a double stroke, to select one of the two operating modes in each direction, when fitted to a window regulator.
- Figure 1 is an exploded view of the switch according to an embodiment of the invention.
- FIGS 2 and 3 are elevation views of the switch shown in Figure 1.
- Figure 4 is a top view of a first embodiment of a blistering contact.
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view along V-V of FIG. 4.
- Figure 6 is a top view of a second embodiment of a blistering contact.
- FIG. 7 is a top view of an assembly of the blistering contacts shown in FIGS. 4 and 6.
- FIGS. 8a and 8b are force-deformation diagrams of the blistering contacts represented in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 9 is a force-stroke diagram of the control button of the switch according to the present invention.
- Figure 10 is a sectional view of a third embodiment of a blistering contact.
- Figure 11 is a top view of a connection grid associated with an electrical interconnection circuit.
- the electrical switch shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a manual control member or control button 1 which is pivotally mounted in its center on two pivot axes 2 provided on the lateral sides 3 of a housing 4, said pivot axes 2 determining a tilt axis 2 ′.
- the control button 1 comprises orifices 5 for the passage of the pivot axes 2, and illuminated arrows 6 indicating the operating mode of the switch, the right arrow for the descent and the left arrow for the raising of a window for example.
- the control button 1 which is molded with a translucent insert for lighting the arrows 6, is made integral with the housing 4 by clipping for example, in the manner indicated in the patent cited in reference.
- a diffuser duct 7 is mounted integral with the control button and includes a housing 8 for an emitting area 9 of a lighting component 10. It is possible to use any type of lighting component such as a mini filament lamp, an electroluminescent diode associated with a resistor in series or an electroluminescent diode with incorporated resistance.
- the connection to an electrical interconnection circuit can be carried out by removable socket or by welding, either conventionally with tail components, or by surface mounting with components called "chips".
- An actuating member constituted by a leveler 11, is mounted floating in the housing 4, below the diffuser duct 7.
- the lifter 11 comprises at least one contact pin and, preferably, two contact pins 12 which are aligned but offset by same side with respect to the longitudinal axis of symmetry 13 of the lifter, said contact pins being located on the face 14 facing the light diffuser 7.
- On the other face of the spreader at least two actuation pins are provided and preferably four actuating pins when four blistering contacts are used, as described below.
- Each of the actuating pins being situated above and cooperating with a blistering contact, two of the four actuating pins are visible in FIG. 1.
- the lifting beam 11 comprises centering and guiding fingers 16 which are housed in corresponding housings 17 formed in the housing 4.
- the contact pins 12 are aligned along a longitudinal axis 13 ′ which is parallel to the axis of symmetry 13, the two longitudinal axes 13 and 13 ′ being located in the same horizontal plane.
- the offset X between the axes 13 and 13 ′ makes it possible to fix the differential effect which will be described with reference to FIG. 9.
- the lifter 11 is symmetrical in the case of a double-acting mechanism in both directions of actuation of the control key 1. In certain cases, only one switching is possible for an actuation direction with a single actuation pin associated with a single blistering contact. This is particularly the case for manual or automatic actuation with time discrimination.
- An orifice 18 is provided in the center of the lifter to allow the passage of the lighting lamp 10 or of electrical connection members.
- An elastic blade 19 may optionally be disposed between the diffuser duct 7 and the lifter 11.
- the elastic blade 19 comprises two flexible arms 20 each provided with a clipping pin 21 which is clipped into an appropriate housing 22 formed on the lateral side of the diffuser duct 7.
- the elastic blade 19 is made of steel spring and it allows the recall of the control button 1 with backlash and it defines, by its play at the point of contact with respect to said button 1, the actuating stroke at the first blistering contact.
- the elastic blade 19 also performs a winding between the key 1 and the lifter 11.
- FIGS. 4 to 9 The blistering contacts which can be used in the switch according to the present invention are shown in FIGS. 4 to 9.
- FIGS. 4 and 5 is shown a blistering contact 23 which is in the form of a small slightly curved cup and the four sides of which are cut at 24.
- the blistering contact rests on the electrical interconnection circuit 25, represented on Figures 2 and 3, by four corners 26 whose outer edges 27 are slightly raised, as can be seen in Figure 5.
- a small depression 28 is formed in the center of the blistering contact to initiate the deformation of the latter when the point d 'corresponding actuation of the lifter 11 exerts a force on said blistering contact.
- the stroke-force diagram of the blistering contact 23 is shown in FIG. 8a.
- the blistering contact 29 shown in FIG. 6 has lateral sides 30 more stripped than those of the blistering contact 23.
- the external flanges 31 are not raised but flat.
- the stroke-force diagram of the blistering contact 29 is shown in FIG. 8b.
- the blistering contacts described above ensure a very short actuating stroke with effect tactile and are made to provide a click effect.
- the nature of the material used depends on the desired tactile effect and their arrangement may vary depending on the construction, a particular arrangement is shown in FIG. 1 and comprising the blistering contacts 23 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.
- stainless steel can be coated with gilding or silvering. For example, for very low switching currents, a coating of 0.2 mm gold will be used, while for currents greater than 100 mA, a coating of 0.002 mm silver will be used.
- the blistering contact 29 ensures, for example, the switching of low currents and the blistering contact 23 ensuring the switching of high currents, those of the relays. especially.
- a protective film 35 of the resistant adhesive type such as that known under the name KAPTON, is placed above the blistering contacts, which makes it possible to immobilize them on the circuit 25, while ensuring protection against pollution.
- the protective film 35 only provides a possible pollution protection function since the pins ensure the connection with the circuit 25. Under these conditions, it can advantageously be replaced by a polyurethane type foam sheet interposed between the lifter 11 and the blistering contacts. Obviously, the foam can be adhesive or not.
- the electrical interconnection circuit 25 is a single-sided printed circuit comprising contact zones which are coated with tinning of Sn, Pb, Ni or Au type.
- the circuit 25 provides the electrical connections by soldering or crimping between the blistering contacts and the switch output terminals, as well as the connection of the lighting function of the control button 1.
- the circuit 25 is guided, like the lifting beam 11, by an interior recess of the housing 4 and rests on bosses 36 coming from the connector bottom 37.
- the connector 37 is a molded plastic part and constitutes with the blistering circuit and contacts, an independent interconnection and switching sub-assembly which is mounted and tested in isolation.
- the connector 37 is assembled on the housing 4 by clipping studs 38 into recesses 39 in the housing 4.
- connection grid 40 (FIG. 10), obtained using a cutting-forming tool, and in which the tracks 41 are connected by means of bridges 42.
- the grid 40 has at both ends with pins for soldering on circuit 25 and blades 43, of square section, for output pins.
- the blades 43 are inserted into the connector 37, during assembly.
- connection grid 40 can be overmolded during assembly of the connector 37.
- the operation of the switch according to the invention relates to a switch for window regulator, with double stroke.
- a force exerted on the control button 1 causes, by pressing on the contact point 12, on the right in FIG. 1, the pivoting of the lifter 11. This causes the actuating pin 15 to be pressed on the blistering contact 23b, so as to deform it and to carry out a switching of current, weak for example.
- a higher pressure on the control key ensures switching to the second stage by lateral tilting of the lifting beam, due to the eccentricity of the contact points relative to the longitudinal axis 13, and consequent pressure of the other actuation pin on the blistering contact 23a; the blistering contacts 23a and 23b constituting a pair of contacts which provide the double effect with two different operating forces for the same direction of actuation of the control button 1.
- the other pair of blistering contacts 23′a and 23′b provide the double effect for the other direction of actuation, left in FIG. 1, of the control button 1.
- the two blistering contacts of each pair are arranged side by side and their alignment axis is parallel to the tilt axis 2 ′ of the control button 1 when the configuration is in rectangle.
- the four blistering contacts 23a, 23b and 23′a and 23′b are arranged substantially in the same horizontal plane and symmetrically with respect to the two axes of symmetry, in a rectangle configuration. It goes without saying that other configurations can be adopted such as a V or trapezoid configuration.
- the force-stroke diagram relating to the control button 1 is shown in FIG. 9.
- the force exerted on the control key 1 at a location located approximately 14 mm from the pivot axis of said key is of the order of 4.5 N for a stroke of approximately 1.25 mm (point A) when the first blister, for example the weakest, in this case the blister 29 of FIG. 7, is actuated.
- the deformation of the blister means that the force decreases although the stroke of the control button increases up to approximately 1.4 N.
- the hollow E corresponds to a first electrical contact made by the first blister. Then the effort continues until point B which corresponds to the actuation of the hardest blister, in this case the blister 23 of FIG. 7, which corresponds to a total stroke of the control button 1, of around 1.85mm.
- the deformation of the blister 23 corresponds to a reduction in the force after point B.
- the hollow F corresponds to a second electrical contact made by the second blister. If one continues to exert a force on the control button 1, there is a very small additional stroke or overtravel because one arrives practically in abutment.
- the differential effect corresponds to the difference in force between points B and A of the diagram, this differential effect being determined by the difference X between the axes 13 and 13 ′ of the lifter. This differential effect makes it possible to obtain a double tactile effect also called hard point.
- the dotted curve D in the figure corresponds to the hysteresis phenomenon during the return of the control button 1 in neutral rest position.
- the arrangement of the blisters 23 and 27 side by side and substantially in the same plane, makes it possible to manage, if necessary, two completely dissociated electrical circuits. Indeed, a first circuit can be provided, the switch of which would be controlled by a blister - closing at point B - and a second independent circuit, the switch of which would be controlled by another blister with a closure at point A in the diagram in FIG. 9.
