Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a door opener switch according to the preamble of claims 1 and 5.
  • Door opener switches require a large-area pressure hood with a short switching travel and an extremely flat design.
  • known switches are equipped with electronic switching elements which are sensitive to voltage peaks; however, such voltage peaks are frequent in the networks of public transport, such as trains, trams, trolleybuses, etc., and lead to damage to the switches or to faults in door operation.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to create a flat door opening switch with a mechanical switching element and with a large-area pressure hood, the visible side of which can also be designed aesthetically within wide limits.
  • the switch has a tubular housing 1, which is divided into a front section 3 and a rear section 4 by a flange-like collar 2 which projects radially outwards and is axial to the building longitudinal axis A.
  • the outer sides of the sections 3 and 4 form cylindrical lateral surfaces with respect to the housing axis A, the diameter of the lateral surface of the front section 3 being able to be somewhat larger than that of the lateral surface of the rear section 4.
  • the housing 1 forms an annular rib 5 which is concentric with its longitudinal axis A.
  • a pressure hood 8 of larger diameter is firmly connected to the pressure hood support 7, the visible side of which, in the rest position shown, is flush with the front face 9 of the housing 1.
  • the pressure hood 8 and the pressure hood support 7 form a button 10 which is movably connected to the housing 1 by means of a rubber-elastic ring membrane 11.
  • the back of the ring rib 5 further forms a stop surface 14 on which a circuit board 15, fastened by rivets 23, bears without play.
  • the printed circuit board 15 carries a mechanical switching element 18 with a spring-loaded actuating cam 19 as well as a pivot bearing 20 for a lever 21 which is laterally offset with respect to the housing axis.
  • the button 10 can be pressed axially into the housing 1 against the resilient restoring force of the actuating cam 19 and / or can be tilted transversely to the longitudinal axis A of the housing due to the radial play.
  • annular rib 5 forms, on its underside, radially symmetrically distributed one or more stop faces 12 against which, under the action of the restoring force of the actuating cam 19, which is translated by the lever 21, stops 13 of the pressure hood support 7 project radially outwards when the key 10 is in its rest position.
  • the restoring force of the actuating cam 19 can be superimposed on the reaction force of the elastically deformed ring membrane 11.
  • the rear of the housing 1 is closed by an end cap 17 which is fastened to the housing 1 in a form-fitting manner with latching lugs 16.
  • the housing 1 is preferably designed as a pull-out protection for the connection cable.
  • the lever 21 is mounted with a spherical projection 22 in the ball socket of the pivot bearing 20 and rests with its end 24 on the actuating cam 19.
  • the projection 22 and the pivot bearing 20 form a ball or universal joint.
  • a leaf spring 25 attached to the pressure hood support 7, against which the lever 21 bears with a rounded cam 26 which is coaxial to the housing axis A.
  • the cam 26 forms a tilt axis for the button 10 and is located between the pivot bearing 20 and the lever end 24, the ratio a / b of the lever arms being selected such that the switching path specified for the pressure hood 8 is only a fraction of the switching path of the actuating cam which is also specified 19 is.
  • a commercially available, proven, mechanical microswitch can therefore be used as the switching element 18.
  • the stroke of the key 10 is limited by the annular rib 5, which engages between the stops 13 on the one hand and an annular rib 27 on the back of the pressure hood on the other.
  • the leaf spring 25, the spring travel of which is greater than the maximum stroke travel protects the switching element 18 against mechanical overloading when an excessive force acts on the pressure hood 8.
  • the force exerted on the cam 26 is only the product of the stroke path covered by the pressure hood 8 and the spring constants of the leaf spring 25; it is reduced according to the lever arm ratio a / b up to the actuating cam 19.
  • the pressure hood 8 can be designed with a comparatively large diameter and can be actuated at any point with essentially the same force
  • the pressure hood support 7 is mounted with play within the annular rib 5, so that the key 10 is not only axially to the housing 1 and the lever 21 is displaceable but can also be tilted about any axis oriented transversely to its longitudinal axis and formed by the cam 26 or the universal joint 20, 22. If an actuating force now acts on the edge of the pressure hood, the stop 13 consequently remains on the opposite side of the pressure hood 8 in contact with the stop surface 12 and forms a pivot axis about which the pressure hood 8 pivots and the lever 21 with the leaf spring 25 resting on the cam 26 depresses.
  • the circuit board 15 can be provided with a diode ring 28 which is concentric with the housing axis A and which illuminates the circular end face 9 of the switch and improves the visibility of the pressure hood 8 for a user or the operating state of the Switch signals.
  • the diodes of the diode ring 28 lie in corresponding recesses 29 in the housing 1.
  • the switch is inserted from the back without play in a bore 30 of a dash-dotted mounting plate 31. So that the front side 9 of the housing 1 is flush with the front side thereof, the surface 32 of the collar 2 facing forward and from the rear against the mounting plate 31 is set back by the thickness "d" of the mounting plate 31 behind the front side 9 and the collar 2 by screwed against the mounting plate 31 at the rear by means of screws 33. If necessary, the distance between the surface 32 and the end face 9 of the thickness "d" of the mounting plate 31 can be adjusted by inserting spacer rings between the collar 2 and the mounting plate 31.
  • the housing 1 is inserted from the front into a bore 30 in a mounting plate 31 and screwed with the rear surface 34 of the collar 2 against the front side of the mounting plate 31.
  • the collar 2 is covered by a rosette 35, which can be locked in such a way that it cannot be detached, and which can be designed aesthetically as desired, and its shape or color increases the visibility of the pressure hood 8.
