Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Drehknebel für ein Schalt- oder Stellorgan eines eine Bedienfläche aufweisenden Hausgerätes gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a rotary toggle for a switching or actuating element of a domestic appliance having a control surface according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bei einem bekannten Drehknebel oder Drehknopf dieser Art (DE-AS 22 50 621) ist ein als Schiebekörper bezeichneter Drehgriffteil in einer rohrförmigen Führungshülse gelagert, welche ihrerseits mit einem Lagerteil (Muffel) fest verbunden ist. An der Innenwandung der Führungshülse ist eine in etwa herzförmige Nutbahn ausgebildet, in die ein am Drehgriffteil gelagerter Zapfen eingreift. Nach Art des sogenannten Kugelschreiberprinzips kann der durch eine Feder in die Betätigungsstellung gedrückte Drehgriffteil aus einer, eine Bedienfläche eines Gerätes überragenden, griffbereiten Stellung entlang der Verschiebeachse in eine versenkte Stellung gedrückt werden, in der der Drehgriffteil verrastet, wobei durch nochmaliges Drücken die Verrastung wieder aufgehoben werden kann. Um die Jeweilige Drehstellung des Drehgriffteiles und damit die Funktionsstellung eines mit dem Drehknebel funktionell gekoppelten Schalters oder Stellorganes zu kennzeichnen ist es hierbei notwendig, an der Peripherie des Drehgriffteiles auf der sichtbaren Bedienfläche Kennzeichen in Form von Zahlen, Buchstaben oder Symbolen anzubringen.In a known rotary knob or rotary knob of this type (DE-AS 22 50 621), a rotary handle part, referred to as a sliding body, is mounted in a tubular guide sleeve, which in turn is firmly connected to a bearing part (muffle). An approximately heart-shaped groove track is formed on the inner wall of the guide sleeve, in which a pin mounted on the rotary handle part engages. In the manner of the so-called ballpoint pen principle, the rotary handle part pressed into the actuating position by a spring can be pressed from a position, within reach, which surpasses an operating surface of a device, into a recessed position along the displacement axis, in which the rotary handle part latches, the latching being released again by pressing again can be. In order to identify the respective rotary position of the rotary handle part and thus the functional position of a switch or actuator that is functionally coupled to the rotary knob, it is necessary to attach indicators in the form of numbers, letters or symbols on the visible control surface on the periphery of the rotary handle part.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Drehknebel der vorgenannten Art so zu verbessern, daß eine Kennzeichnung der Drehstellungen möglich ist, ohne daß auf der frontseitigen Geräte-Bedienseite entsprechende Kennzeichen aufgebracht sein müssen.The present invention has for its object to improve a rotary toggle of the aforementioned type so that the rotary positions can be identified without the need for corresponding labels to be applied to the front of the device operating side.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung gelöst durch die im Kennzeichnungsteil des Patentanspruches 1 aufgeführten Maßnahmen. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Patentansprüchen.This object is achieved according to the invention by the measures listed in the characterizing part of claim 1. Further refinements of the invention result from the following patent claims.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Maßnahme erfolgt mit einer einzigen Hubbewegung am Drehknebel die Verstellung von zwei Teilen, nämlich des Drehgriffteiles und des Kennzeichnungsträgers aus der in der Bedienfläche versenkten Ruhestellung in die Betätigungsstellung, in welcher beide Teile sich in einer griffbereiten Stellung befinden und zusammen in die gewünschte Drehstellung verdrehbar sind. Es besteht damit die Möglichkeit, den Drehgriffteil in jeder beliebigen Form, z.B. in schmaler Schwertform auszubilden und die den einzelnen Drehstellungen zugeordneten Kennzeichen, z.B. Funktionskennzeichen, übersichtlich und deutlich sichtbar am Kennzeichnungsträger anzuordnen. An der Bedienfläche muß dann nur noch eine kleine Bezugsmarkierung angebracht sein.By means of the measure according to the invention, the adjustment of two parts, namely the rotary handle part and the identification carrier, takes place with a single lifting movement on the rotary toggle from the rest position sunk into the operating surface into the actuating position, in which both parts are in a ready-to-hand position and together in the desired rotary position are rotatable. It is therefore possible to turn the rotary handle part in any shape, e.g. in a narrow sword shape and the characteristics assigned to the individual rotary positions, e.g. Function markings, clearly arranged and clearly visible on the label holder. Only a small reference mark then has to be attached to the control surface.

Durch die Maßnahme gemäß Patentanspruch 2 erhält man eine besonders einfache und leicht handhabbare konstruktive Ausgestaltung des Drehknebels, indem die Rast- und/oder Anschlagelemente an relativ leicht zugänglichen Stellen an der Peripherie des Drehknebels zwischen Lagerteil und Kennzeichnungsträger angeordnet sind.The measure according to claim 2 provides a particularly simple and easy-to-use structural design of the rotary knob, in that the latching and / or stop elements are arranged at relatively easily accessible locations on the periphery of the rotary knob between the bearing part and the identification carrier.

Beim Ausführungsbeispiel ist mit 1 ein z.B. aus Kunststoff bestehender Lagerteil bezeichnet, der am freien Ende hinter einer plattenartigen Erweiterung 2 eine Anschlußbuchse 3 mit unrunder Steck- oder Kupplungsöffnung 4 für den Steckanschluß an die ebenfalls unrunde Betätigungswelle eines Schalt- oder Stellorgans aufweist, welches Schalt- oder Stellorgan durch den nachbeschriebenen Drehknebel durch Verdrehen um die Lagerteilachse 5 in unterschiedliche Stellungen verstellt werden soll. Auf der anderen Seite der plattenartigen Erweiterung 2 besitzt der Lagerteil 1 ein Führungsrohr 6 für einen nachbeschriebenen Drehgriffteil 7 sowie im wesentlichen koaxial hierzu eine hülsenförmige Wandung 8 mit einer Langlochführung 9 für ein nachstehend erläutertes Kupplungselement 10 einer Kulissensteuerung. Zwischen Wandung 8 und Führungsrohr 6 formschlüssig und entlang der Lagerteilachse 5 verschiebbar gelagert ist der Drehgriffteil 7, der zu diesem Zweck einen Rohrstutzen 12 besitzt, der auf einer Seite eine Abflachung 12 aufweist. In das Material dieser Abflachung 12 eingearbeitet ist eine aus Fig. 1 näher ersichtliche Nutenbahn 13 in Form einer sogenannten Herzkurve, die einen weiteren Teil der vorerwähnten Kulissensteuerung darstellt. Das Kupplungselement 10 besteht aus einem scheibenartigen Mittelteil, an dem beidseitig Achsstummel vorgesehen sind. Hierbei ist einer der Achsstummel in der Langlochführung 9 des Lagerteils 1 längsverschiebbar gelagert, während der andere Achsstummel in die Nutenbahn 13 eingreift, wie Fig. 3 zeigt. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel einstückig verbunden mit dem z.B. ebenfalls aus Kunststoff hergestellten Rohrstutzen 11 ist ein Handgriff 14, der, wie insb. Fig. 2 zeigt, eine flache Schwertform besitzt, mit einem zylindrischen Abschnitt und einem daran anschließenden, trichterförmigen Abschnitt. Auf diesem schwertförmigen Teil des Drehgriffteils 7 formschlüssig und in der Lagerteilachse 5 verschiebbar gelagert ist ein Kennzeichnungsträger 15, der in Form eines zylindrischen Bechers ausgebildet ist und der eine der Schwertform des Drehgriffteils 7/14 entsprechende Öffnung 16 in der Frontfläche 17 besitzt. Der Kennzeichnungsträger 15 besitzt an zwei gegenüberliegenden Mantelseiten Stege 18 mit darin eingearbeiteten Rastausnehmungen 19. Diesen Stegen 18 zugeordnet sind entsprechende, an der plattenartigen Erweiterung 2 angeordnete Stege 20, die mit angesetzten Rasthaken 21 in die Rastausnehmungen 19 der Stege 18 federnd einschnappen und damit eine Hubbegrenzung für die axiale Bewegung des Kennzeichnungsträgers darstellen.In the exemplary embodiment, 1 denotes a bearing part, for example made of plastic, which at the free end behind a plate-like extension 2 has a connecting socket 3 with a non-circular plug-in or coupling opening 4 for the plug-in connection to the likewise non-circular actuating shaft of a switching or actuating element, which or actuator is to be adjusted to different positions by turning the rotary toggle by rotating it about the bearing part axis 5. On the other side of the plate-like extension 2, the bearing part 1 has a guide tube 6 for a twist grip part 7 as described above, and essentially coaxially therewith a sleeve-shaped wall 8 with an elongated hole guide 9 for a coupling element 10 of a link control described below. The rotary handle part 7, which has a pipe socket 12 for this purpose, is mounted between the wall 8 and the guide tube 6 in a form-fitting manner and displaceably along the bearing part axis 5 has a flattened portion 12 on one side. A groove track 13 in the form of a so-called heart curve, which can be seen in more detail in FIG. 1, is incorporated into the material of this flattened portion 12 and represents a further part of the above-mentioned setting control. The coupling element 10 consists of a disk-like central part, on which stub axles are provided on both sides. Here, one of the stub axles in the slot guide 9 of the bearing part 1 is mounted so as to be longitudinally displaceable, while the other stub shaft engages in the groove track 13, as shown in FIG. 3. In the exemplary embodiment connected in one piece to the pipe socket 11, which is also made of plastic, for example, there is a handle 14 which, as shown in FIG. 2 in particular, has a flat sword shape, with a cylindrical section and an adjoining funnel-shaped section. On this sword-shaped part of the rotary handle part 7 is positively and displaceably mounted in the bearing part axis 5, a marking carrier 15, which is designed in the form of a cylindrical cup and which has an opening 16 in the front surface 17 corresponding to the sword shape of the rotary handle part 7/14. The label carrier 15 has, on two opposite jacket sides, webs 18 with latching recesses 19 incorporated therein. Corresponding webs 20, which are arranged on the plate-like extension 2 and are associated with these webs 18, snap together with the latching hooks 21 inserted into the latching recesses 19 of the webs 18 and thus limit the stroke represent for the axial movement of the label.

In den Fig. 1, 3 und 4 ist der Drehknebel in einer Stellung dargestellt, in welcher sich der Drehgriff 3, 7 und der Kennzeichnungsträger 15 in der Betätigungsstellung befindet, d.h. in welcher der Kennzeichnungsträger 15 eine Bedienfläche 22 z.B. eines elektrischen Hausgerätes überragt, hinter welcher Bedienfläche sich die übrigen Teile des Drehknebels sowie das zu betätigende Schaltorgan oder Stellorgan befindet, und in welcher Stellung der Handgriff 14 des Drehgriffteils 7 wiederum die Frontfläche 17 des Kennzeichnungsträgers 15 so überragt, daß er bequem von Hand bedienbar ist. In dieser Stellung befindet sich der Achsstummel des Kupplungselementes 10 an dem, dem Lagerteil 1 zugewandten Ende der Nutenbahn 13, wie Fig. 1 und 3 zeigen. In dieser Stellung wird der Drehgriffteil 7 durch eine Feder 23 gehalten, die zwischen dem Boden des Drehgriffteiles 7 und dem Boden des Führungsrohres 6 des Lagerteiles 1 angeordnet ist. Mit einer Schulter 24 drückt der Drehgriffteil 7 gegen die innere Wandung der Frontfläche 17 des Kennzeichnungsträgers 15 und hält somit auch diesen in der Betätigungsstellung gemäß Fig. 1, 3 und 4. Auf der Mantelfläche 25 des Kennzeichnungsträgers 15 sind Kennzeichen in Form von Zahlen, Buchstaben und/oder Symbolen angebracht, die in dieser Betätigungsstellung von der Gerätefrontseite her gut sichtbar sind. Mit dem Eindrücken bzw. Verschieben des Drehgriffteils 7 in Richtung des Lagerteils 1 entgegen der Kraft der Feder 23 durchläuft der außenseitige Achsstummel des Kupplungselementes 10 den Abschnitt 13a der Nutenbahn und verrastet in der Nutenbahnsenke 13b. Während dieser Verschiebebewegung des Drehgriffteiles 7 verschiebt sich auch der Kennzeichnungsträger 15 entlang der Lagerteilachse 5 bis die Stege 18 mit ihren Enden an den Anschlägen 26 des Lagerteils 1 anschlagen. Hiermit sind die beiden vorgenannten Teile 7/14 und 15 in der Bedienfläche 22 versenkt, bzw. im wesentlichen mit dieser bündig, wie Fig. 5 zeigt. Bei nochmaligem Eindrücken des Drehgriffteils 7 an dessen Handgriff 14 entgegen der Kraft der Feder 23 gelangt das Kupplungselement 10 in den Abschnitt 13c der Nutenbahn 13 und schließlich wiederum in die Raststellung gemäß Fig. 1, wobei sich der Griffteil 14 wiederum in einer griffbereiten Stellung befindet und ein Verdrehen in die gewünschte Schaltstellung vorgenommen werden kann.1, 3 and 4, the rotary toggle is shown in a position in which the rotary handle 3, 7 and the identification carrier 15 are in the actuation position, ie in which the identification carrier 15 is one Control surface 22, for example, of an electrical household appliance, beyond which control surface the remaining parts of the rotary toggle and the switching element or actuating element to be actuated are located, and in which position the handle 14 of the rotary grip part 7 in turn protrudes beyond the front surface 17 of the identification carrier 15 in such a way that it is convenient to use Can be operated by hand. In this position, the stub axle of the coupling element 10 is located on the end of the groove track 13 facing the bearing part 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. In this position, the twist grip part 7 is held by a spring 23 which is arranged between the bottom of the twist grip part 7 and the bottom of the guide tube 6 of the bearing part 1. With a shoulder 24, the rotary handle part 7 presses against the inner wall of the front surface 17 of the identification carrier 15 and thus also holds this in the actuating position according to FIGS. 1, 3 and 4. On the outer surface 25 of the identification carrier 15 are symbols in the form of numbers, letters and / or symbols attached that are clearly visible from the front of the device in this operating position. When the twist grip part 7 is pushed in or moved in the direction of the bearing part 1 against the force of the spring 23, the stub shaft of the coupling element 10 on the outside passes through the section 13a of the groove track and locks in the groove track depression 13b. During this displacement movement of the rotary handle part 7, the identification carrier 15 also moves along the bearing part axis 5 until the ends of the webs 18 strike the stops 26 of the bearing part 1. The two aforementioned parts 7/14 and 15 are hereby sunk into the operating surface 22, or essentially flush with it, as shown in FIG. 5. When the rotary handle part 7 is pressed in again on the handle 14 against the force of the spring 23, the coupling element 10 arrives in the section 13c of the groove track 13 and finally again in the latching position 1, wherein the handle portion 14 is in turn in a ready position and can be rotated into the desired switching position.

Selbstverständlich kann die Ausgerstaltung z.B. von Kennzeichnungsträger und Drehgriffteil, insb. die Form des Griffteils und die entsprechende Öffnung in der Frontfläche des Kennzeichnungsträgers beliebig verändert werden.Of course, the design can e.g. of label holder and rotary handle part, in particular the shape of the handle part and the corresponding opening in the front surface of the label holder can be changed as desired.
