Mit derartigen Schaltern werden insbesondere verschiedene Betriebsarten einer Backofensteuerung angewählt und Befehle einer elektronischen Steuer- bzw. Regelschaltung vorgegeben; die jeweilige von einem Bedienteil, insbesondere durch Drehen, eingestellte Einstellendlage wird durch ein Fixierteil, insbesondere nach Art eines Rastverschlusses, gesichert.Such switches are used in particular to select different operating modes of an oven control and to issue commands from an electronic control circuit; the respective end position set by an operating part, in particular by turning, is secured by a fixing part, in particular in the manner of a snap lock.

Es ist Aufgabe vorliegender Erfindung, den Aufwand zur Herstellung von Schaltern der vorgenannten Art, insbesondere in Form von Einbau-Drehschaltern, mit einem die unterschiedlichen Schalter-Einstellungen jeweils sichernden Fixierteil, insbesondere in Form eines mit der Schalterdrehung drehbaren Raststernes, vorzugsweise zum Einsatz für eine Fertigung mit verschiedenen Schaltervarianten mit pro gesamten Schalterbetätigungsweg jeweils unterschiedlicher Zahl und Verteilung von Schalter-Einstellungen, reduzieren zu können.It is an object of the present invention to reduce the effort for the manufacture of switches of the aforementioned type, in particular in the form of built-in rotary switches, with a fixing part securing the different switch settings, in particular in the form of a locking star which can be rotated with the switch rotation, preferably for use with a Manufacturing with different switch variants with different number and distribution of switch settings for each entire switch actuation path.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt durch einen Schalter gemäß Anspruch 1 bzw. ein Verfahren zum Zusammenbau des Schalters gemäß Anspruch 14. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind jeweils Gegenstand der auf diese Ansprüche rückbezogenen Unteransprüche.This object is achieved by a switch according to claim 1 and a method for assembling the switch according to claim 14. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject matter of the subclaims which refer back to these claims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Schalter erlaubt für den Bedienteil - abgesehen von einer gegebenenfalls anzupassenden Beschriftungsblende - die Verwendung eines für sämtliche Schaltervarianten universell einsetzbaren Einheitsbauteils; eine spezifische Anpassung an unterschiedliche Schaltervarianten mit über den Schalterbetätigungsweg unterschiedlich spezifisch vorhandenen bzw. verteilten und zu sichernden Endeinstellungen erfolgt durch ein lediglich entsprechend spezifisch anzupassendes Fixierteil-Modul, das mit dem Einheits-Bedienteil vorzugsweise in axialer Stecktechnik, zusammensetzbar ist.The switch according to the invention allows the control panel to use a unit component that can be used universally for all switch variants, apart from a labeling panel that may need to be adapted; a specific Adaptation to different switch variants with end settings that are specifically available or distributed and to be secured via the switch actuation path is carried out by means of a fixing part module which is only to be adapted accordingly and can be assembled with the unit control part, preferably using axial plug-in technology.

Entsprechend den Einstellendlagen und damit je angewählter Betriebsart wird von dem Schalter ein spezifisch codiertes elektrisches Signal-Muster erzeugt und an eine elektronische Steuerung bzw. Regelung weitergegeben; dazu wird mit der Schalterbetätigung ein elektrischer Kontaktbrücken-Schleifer in entsprechende Winkelstellungen zu codiert auf Kontaktbahnen eine Codier-Kontaktscheibe verteilten untereinander verbundenen Kontakt-Schleifflächen gebracht, derart daß je nach Stellung des Kontaktbrücken-Schleifers relativ zu den Kontaktbahnen der Codier-Kontaktscheibe spezifische Signal-Muster an eine nachfolgende Steuerschaltung, z.B. in Form eines Mikrocontrollers, weitergegeben werden. Eine derartige elektrische Kontaktcodierung entsprechend den mechanischen Einstellungen des Schalters kann für den Einsatz von Schaltern mit verschiedenen Schaltervarianten dadurch vereinfacht werden, daß gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung eine Universal-Codier-Kontaktscheibe vorgesehen ist mit je Winkelstellung des Kontaktbrücken-Schleifers unterschiedlichen Kontaktbahn-Codierungen entsprechend sämtlichen abzudeckenden unterschiedlichen Schaltervarianten; zweckmäßigerweise sind die sämtlichen codierten Kontakt-Schleifflächen jeweils über den Umfang der Universal-Codier-Kontaktscheibe nichtlinear verteilt, derart daß jeweils die den Schalterstellungen einer Schaltervariante entsprechenden Schleiferstellungen linear über den Umfang verteilbar sind.According to the setting end positions and thus depending on the selected operating mode, the switch generates a specifically coded electrical signal pattern and passes it on to an electronic control system; For this purpose, with the switch actuation, an electrical contact bridge grinder is coded into corresponding angular positions, and a coding contact disk is distributed over interconnected contact contact surfaces, so that, depending on the position of the contact bridge grinder, specific signal patterns are generated relative to the contact tracks of the coding contact disk to a subsequent control circuit, for example in the form of a microcontroller.

FIG 1,2 zeigen jeweils die Draufsicht auf die Bedienfront einer Backofensteuerung mit einem durch Drehen in unterschiedliche Betriebsarten stellbaren Bedienteil 1 und oberhalb des Bedienteils 1 angeordneten Anzeigen für die jeweils eingestellte Betriebsart. Das Bedienteil 1 gemäß FIG 1 weist neben der Neutralstellung vier über den Umfang verteilte Einstellungen von Betriebsarten BA1-BA4 und das Bedienteil 1 gemäß FIG 2 weist neben einer Neutralstellung sechs über den Umfang verteilte Einstellungen von Betriebsarten BA1-BA6 auf.FIGS. 1, 2 each show the top view of the operating front of an oven control with an operating part 1 which can be set by rotating into different operating modes and displays arranged above the operating part 1 for the respectively set operating mode. In addition to the neutral position, the control unit 1 according to FIG. 1 has four settings of operating modes BA1-BA4 distributed over the circumference and the control unit 1 according to FIG. 2 has six settings of operating modes BA1-BA6 distributed over the circumference in addition to a neutral position.

FIG 3 zeigt in perspektivischer Explosionsdarstellung einen Betriebsartenschalter mit einer in einem Grundkörper 2 gelagerten Drehwelle 1.1, auf deren rechtes, durch eine Öffnung einer hinter der Bedienfront angeordneten Leiterplatte 5 ragendes Ende in hier nicht näher dargestellter Weise das Bedienteil 1 gemäß FIG 1,2 formschlüssig aufsteckbar ist. Auf den Grundkörper 2 ist an seinem linken Ende - z.B. in vorteilhafter Weise mittels axialer Aufsteckzapfen 2.2 - ein in FIG 4,5 näher dargestelltes Fixierteil 3 als Modul aufsteckbar, wobei das linke hintere Ende der Drehwelle 1.1 in eine entsprechende formschlüssige Mitnahme eines in dem Fixierteil 3 drehbar angeordneten Raststernes 3.1 hineinragt. Die jeweilige Raststellung des Raststernes 3.1 und damit die Fixierung des Bedienteils 1 in einer der eingestellten Betriebsarten wird mittels eines durch radialen Druck einer Rastfeder 3.3 in die Kerben des Raststernes 3.1 eingedrückten Rastnockens 3.2 sichergestellt.

On the base body 2 is at its left end - e.g. in an advantageous manner by means of axial push-on pins 2.2 - a fixing part 3 shown in more detail in FIG. The respective locking position of the locking star 3.1 and thus the fixation of the operating part 1 in one of the set operating modes is ensured by means of a locking cam 3.2 which is pressed into the notches of the locking star 3.1 by radial pressure of a locking spring 3.3. The base body 2 has contact tongues 2.1 for connecting a power supply line, which can be switched on and off by a roller switch located below the contact tongues.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist der Grundkörper 2 einschließlich seiner darin gelagerten Drehwelle 1.1 des Schalters als Universalbauteil unabhängig von unterschiedlichen Schaltervarianten verwendbar, da die Berücksichtung unterschiedlicher Schaltervarianten lediglich durch die Änderung des Raststernes 3.1 durch Aufstecken eines entsprechend angepaßten Fixierteils 3 erfolgen kann.The base body 2, including the rotary shaft 1.1 of the switch mounted therein, can advantageously be used as a universal component regardless of different switch variants, since different switch variants can only be taken into account by changing the locking star 3.1 by plugging in a correspondingly adapted fixing part 3.

Die erfolgreiche Vereinheitlichung durch Verwendung universell einsetzbarer Bauteile trotz Abdeckung einer Schalterfabrikation mit unterschiedlichen Schaltervarianten kann hinsichtlich einer korrespondierenden elektrischen bzw. elektronischen Signalweitergabe an eine nachfolgende Steuerung, insbesondere in Form eines Mikrocontrollers, dadurch noch weiter verbessert werden, daß - wie insbesondere aus FIG 6,7 ersichtlich - in Abhängigkeit von der Einstellbetätigung des Schalters, insbesondere in Abhängigkeit von der Stellung der Drehwelle 1.1 eines zur Einstellung vorgesehenen Drehschalters, ein Kontaktgeber 1.2;1.3 in Form eines drehschlüssig auf die Drehwelle 1.1 aufsteckbaren Mitnahmeteils 1.2 mit einem daran befestigten Kontaktbrücken-Schleifer 1.3 Kontaktbahnen a-e einer Universal-Codier-Kontaktscheibe 4 beschleift, deren Kontakt-Schleifflächen zu dem Kontaktbrücken-Schleifer 1.3 derart codiert sind, daß sich entsprechend den maximal hier angenommenen zweiundzwanzig Einzel-Winkelstellungen A-W jeweils ein spezifisch codiertes Signal-Muster durch Kontaktgabe zwischen den einzelnen Kontakt-Schleifflächen über den Kontaktbrücken-Schleifer 1.3 an den Ausgängen der Kontaktbahnen a-e ergeben, die an Eingangspins einer nachfolgenden elektronischen Steuerung anschließbar sind; die je Kontaktbahn unereinander elektrisch verbundenen Kontakt-Schleifflächen werden zur Generierung der Singal-Muster über den Kontaktbrücken-Schleifer 1.3 an ein Potential gelegt, das an eine über den gesamten Umfang verlaufende Kontakt-Schleiffläche einer inneren, ebenfalls von dem Kontaktbrücken-Schleifer 1.1 beschliffenen Kontaktbahn com angeschlossen ist.The successful standardization by using universally applicable components despite covering a switch manufacture with different switch variants can be further improved with regard to a corresponding electrical or electronic signal transfer to a subsequent control, in particular in the form of a microcontroller, in that - as in particular from FIG. 6.7 evident - depending on the setting actuation of the Switch, in particular depending on the position of the rotary shaft 1.1 of a rotary switch provided for setting, a contactor 1.2; 1.3 in the form of a driver part 1.2 which can be rotatably plugged onto the rotary shaft 1.1 and has a contact bridge grinder 1.3 attached to it. Contact tracks ae of a universal coding contact disk 4 grinds, the contact grinding surfaces of which are coded to the contact bridge grinder 1.3 in such a way that, according to the maximum of twenty-two individual angular positions AW assumed here, a specifically coded signal pattern in each case by contact between the individual contact grinding surfaces via the contact bridge grinder 1.3 result in the outputs of the contact tracks ae, which can be connected to input pins of a subsequent electronic control; the contact grinding surfaces which are electrically connected to one another for each contact path are set to a potential via the contact bridge grinder 1.3 to generate the Singal pattern, which is connected to a contact grinding surface running over the entire circumference of an inner contact path which is likewise ground by the contact bridge grinder 1.1 com is connected.

FIG 7 erläutert das Codierprogramm der in FIG 6 dargestellten Universal-Codier-Kontaktscheibe 4 mit maximal zweiundzwanzig Winkelstellungen des Kontaktbrücken-Schleifers 1.3. Dabei bedeuten die Großbuchstaben der Tabelle jeweils die einzelnen Winkelstellungen A-W des Kontaktbrücken-Schleifers 1.3 und kennzeichnen die Kleinbuchstaben a-e die codierte Verteilung der Kontakt-Schleifflächen bzw. Potentialbelegungen und somit die Signal-Muster der an die Prozessor-Pins jeweils angeschlossenen Kontaktbahnen. Die zweiundzwanzig unterschiedlichen Codierungen sind über den gesamten Umfang der Universal-Codier-Kontaktscheibe 4 nichtlinear über 360° verteilt, derart daß sich für hier vorgesehene Schaltervarianten von zwei bis zu acht Betriebsarten vorteilhaft eine jeweils lineare Verteilung der Betriebsarten je Schaltervariante erreichen läßt.7 explains the coding program of the universal coding contact disk 4 shown in FIG. 6 with a maximum of twenty-two angular positions of the contact bridge grinder 1.3. The uppercase letters in the table mean the individual angular positions AW of the contact bridge grinder 1.3 and the lowercase letters ae denote the coded distribution of the contact grinding surfaces or potential assignments and thus the signal pattern of the contact paths connected to the processor pins. The twenty-two different codings are distributed non-linearly over 360 ° over the entire circumference of the universal coding contact disk 4, in such a way that a linear distribution of the operating modes per switch variant can advantageously be achieved for switch variants of two to eight operating modes provided here.

Die Entscheidung, welche Winkelstellung dann welcher Funktion gemäß einer Betriebsart entsprechen soll, wird dem an die Prozessor-Pins angeschlossenen Mikrocontroller über einen Speicher, insbesondere einen nichtflüchtigen EEPROM, mitgeteilt. Dadurch können nicht nur mit einem Einheitsbauteil verschiedene Schaltervarianten in einer Fertigung abgedeckt werden, sondern auch spätere Verbesserungen, wie z.B. das Vertauschen der Schalterfunktionen aus Design- oder Ergonomiegründen, ohne zusätzlichen Entwicklungs- und Fertigungsaufwand lediglich durch Umprogrammierung des EEPROM realisiert werden.The decision as to which angular position should then correspond to which function according to an operating mode is communicated to the microcontroller connected to the processor pins via a memory, in particular a non-volatile EEPROM. This means that not only can one switch component cover different switch variants in one production, but also subsequent improvements, such as the swapping of the switch functions for design or ergonomic reasons can only be realized by reprogramming the EEPROM without additional development and manufacturing effort.

In fertigungstechnisch besonders aufwandsarmer Weise ist, wie aus FIG 3 ersichtlich, die Codier-Kontaktscheibe 4 integraler Bestandteil einer Leiterplatte 5, die vorzugsweise hinter der Bedienfront gemäß FIG 1-2 angebracht und mit einem Durchgang zum Aufstecken des Bedienteils 1 auf die bis an die Vorderseite der Bedienfront reichende Drehwelle 1.1 versehen ist.3, the coding contact disk 4 is an integral part of a printed circuit board 5, which is preferably attached behind the operating front according to FIG. 1-2 and with a passage for plugging the operating part 1 onto the front the front rotating shaft 1.1 is provided.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist, wie ebenfalls aus FIG 3 ersichtlich, mit der die Codier-Kontaktscheibe 4 integrierenden Leiterplatte 5 eine weitere Kontaktscheibe 7 zur Impulsgabe für einen seriellen Temperatursteller 6 des Backofens integriert, der ebenfalls durch Drehen einer Drehwelle 6.1 mit darauf formschlüssig gehaltenem Kontaktgeber 6.2;6.3 betätigbar ist.According to a further embodiment, as can also be seen from FIG. 3, with the circuit board 5 integrating the coding contact disk 4, a further contact disk 7 is integrated for the impulse for a serial temperature controller 6 of the oven, which is also rotated by rotating a rotary shaft 6.1 with a contactor held thereon with a positive fit 6.2; 6.3 can be actuated.
