Definitions
- the invention relates to a toggle switch in which one opposite the rocker switch mounted on the housing by an actuator with one moving along the rocker switch Force applied point of attack becomes.
- a switch is for example from the DE-GM 19 03 576 or from GB-A-2 199 189 (closest State of the art) known.
- This is an actuating slide moved along a rocker switch, one in the actuating slide spring-mounted actuator longitudinally the rocker switch slides and when driving over the stationary one Bearing point, the rocker switch abruptly in a new position brings.
- the problem with such switches is that that on the one hand a strong support of the on the rocker switch attached switch contact opposite the fixed contact is desired, but on the other hand by the considerable Switching noises caused by switching forces are disruptive.
- a toggle switch is also with Rocker switch known, in which the rocker during the switching process is shifted in its longitudinal direction.
- the tilting movement the toggle button is activated by two fixed stops limited in both directions.
- the invention is therefore based on a toggle switch genus resulting from the preamble of claim 1.
- the object of the invention is such a toggle switch to build with simple means so that he can be switched particularly quiet.
- the object of the invention is characterized by the Resulting combination of features solved.
- the invention therefore consists in the longitudinal the rocker switch along sliding actuator a stop to provide that limits the movement of the switching element, after the rocker switch reaches its new position Has. On the one hand, this allows the switching torque to be limited, with which the switch contact on the rocker on the stationary Contact sets up.
- the invention provides Possibility to limit the movement of the actuator Design trajectory in such a way that the movement of the actuator gradually braked in a suitable manner becomes.
- trajectory can be designed in such a way that extending in the longitudinal direction of the rocker switch Force results from a corresponding movement of the Shift rocker by means of grinding movements opposite the rocker the fixed bearing and the fixed contact for reduction of contact resistance.
- the cam track preferably designed such that the contact on the rocker with comparatively little force on the stationary Contacts to avoid bouncing, whereupon the contact pressure on the desired one Value increases and finally through the switching element the stop on the rocker switch in this desired position is held.
- the switching element can because of its Sluggishness a little bit beyond the end position drive out and then take this as a stable end position.
- the inventive Apply the principle to both sides of the rocker switch, so that according to claim 6, the invention also for changeover switches can be used.
- the toggle button 3 e.g. about circular cylindrical lugs 4 in corresponding projecting recesses and be rotatable in this can or in the corresponding housing-fixed projections protrude a suitable recess in the rocker switch.
- the toggle button 3 has a guide projection 5, in which a Actuator 6 is guided.
- the actuator is pretensioned by a spring 7, which the actuator 6 from the guide approach 5th tries to push it out.
- this is based conically or cut-shaped front link end 8 from a rocker switch 9, which in turn with its opposite Surface is supported on a housing extension 10.
- the rocker switch 9 is in one via a cutting bearing 11 base plate-fixed contact piece 12 stored.
- the Storage provided such that the rocker switch 9 in their longitudinal direction by a predetermined amount b can move the contact piece 12 before lateral Projections 13, 14 opposite the legs on a fork 15 Strike the upper end of the contact piece 12 in FIG. 1.
- the projection is therefore in the bearing shown in FIG. 1 14 on the legs of the fork 15. Furthermore are still in 5 projecting tabs 16, 17 are provided in the direction of the guide projection, which are arranged fixed to the housing and either with the housing 1 themselves or in one piece with the cover 2. Of course, such rags can also be separated manufactured and subsequently inserted into the housing will.
- the task of the tabs 16, 17 is, on the one hand, that Limit movement of the rocker switch 3, so that this in the 1 is locked and so after reaching the desired actuation position is not further depressed can be. At the same time, the tabs 16, 17 serve to intercept the inertial movement of the rocker switch 3, so that their movement is dampened.
- the rocker switch 9 thus moves as far as it does through the appropriate storage is possible to the right.
- the cutting bearing 11 is formed by a floating bearing 11, the rocker switch a clear path in the X direction allowed, which will be called b below.
- path b results from that the distance of the projections 13, 14 from the amount b is greater than the width of the fork extension 15.
- the contact should be comparatively less Apply force without bouncing, after which the contact force increases and with a large contact force, the movement in the x direction by the amount b is made.
- the invention is therefore suitable for all switches, the one have their position changing rocker switch, it it is irrelevant whether the switch has a slide button or operated by a rocker switch.
- the invention is not only for on / off switches, but also suitable for changeover switch, the stop according to the invention (21) essentially symmetrically opposite each other arranged on the rocker on both sides of the bearing becomes. such as B. the second stop (22) shows.
