The rotary knob or button is provided on its front side in the external peripheral region, with a radially running surface elevation.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine manuelle Schaltvorrichtung für Zeitschaltuhren mit den Merkmalen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a manual switching device for timers with the features according to the preamble of claim 1.

Insbesondere bei elektromechanischen Zeitschaltuhren ist es erforderlich, daß unabhängig vom zeithaltend gesteuerten Programmablauf, eine manuelle Schaltzustandsänderung durchführbar ist. Dabei soll sichergestellt sein, daß die zur Schaltzustandsänderung vorgesehene manuell beaufschlagbare Vorrichtung zweckmäßig übersichtlich und griffig auf der Vorderseite einer derartigen Zeitschaltuhr angeordnet ist.In the case of electromechanical timers in particular, it is necessary that regardless of the time-controlled program sequence, a manual Switching state change is feasible. It should be ensured that the intended to change the switching state manually acted upon Device conveniently clear and handy on the front of one such timer is arranged.

Aus der DE-GM 88 02 081.9 ist eine elektromechanische Schaltuhr mit einer programmgesteuerten und mit einer manuell betätigbaren Schalteinrichtung bekannt. Die manuelle Schalteinrichtung mit einem Drehknopf ist auf der Schaltuhrvorderseite, in einem der Gehäuseeckbereiche, außerhalb des umlaufenden Programmträgers mit den programmierbaren Schaltreitern, angeordnet. Dabei ist der Drehknopf zur manuellen Betätigung dieser Schalteinrichtung nicht nur im Außendurchmesser relativ klein, sondern auch insgesamt unübersichtlich auf der Schaltuhrvorderseite plaziert.From DE-GM 88 02 081.9 is an electromechanical timer with a program-controlled and with a manually operated switching device known. The manual switching device with a rotary knob is on the Time switch front, in one of the corners of the housing, outside the rotating one Program carrier with the programmable switch tabs, arranged. Here is the rotary knob for manual actuation of this switching device not only relatively small in outside diameter, but also placed overall confusing on the front of the timer.

Aus der DE-GM 89 01 269.0 ist eine elektromechanische Schaltuhr bekannt, bei der die dort vorgesehene manuell betätigbare Schalteinrichtung mit einem bolzenförmigen Betätiger, in einer kreisabschnittförmig verlaufend ausgebildeten Mulde innerhalb des Programmringes angeordnet ist. Der Betätiger ist im Außendurchmesser nicht nur unergonomisch klein ausgebildet sondern auch zu den programmierbaren Schaltreitern auf dem Programmring relativ eng benachbart und kritisch bedienbar angeordnet.An electromechanical timer is known from DE-GM 89 01 269.0, in which the manually operable switching device provided there a bolt-shaped actuator, running in a segment of a circle trained trough is arranged within the program ring. The actuator is not only made non-ergonomically small in the outside diameter but also to the programmable switch tabs on the program ring arranged relatively close together and critically operable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine manuelle Schaltvorrichtung für Zeitschaltuhren der eingangsgenannten Art zu schaffen, die die Nachteile der bekannten Einrichtungen zur Schaltzustandsänderung beseitigt, die ergonomisch optimal und übersichtlich bedienbar ist und zeitschaltuhrvorderseitig zu einem insbesondere umlaufenden Programmträger zweckmäßig und großräumig angeordnet und ausgebildet ist.The invention has for its object a manual switching device for timers of the type mentioned to create the disadvantages the known devices for changing the switching state are eliminated, which is ergonomically optimal and clearly operable and on the front of the timer expedient to a particularly circulating program carrier and is arranged and designed on a large scale.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit Merkmalen im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst und in den Unteransprüchen sind weitere vorteilhafte Einzelheiten beansprucht.This object is achieved with features in the characterizing part of the patent claim 1 solved and in the subclaims are further advantageous Details claimed.

Vorteilhaft bei der neuen manuell betätigbaren drehknopfförmigen Schaltvorrichtung ist nicht nur deren konzentrische und koaxiale Anordnung zu einem, insbesondere zeithaltend umlaufenden Programmträger, sondern deren versenkte Anordnung in dem insbesondere ringförmigen Programmträger. Vorteilhaft ist ferner nicht nur die dadurch erzielbare relativ großflächige und griffige Ausbildung des neuen Dreh- bzw. Schaltknopfes, sondern auch die dadurch erzielbare technisch relativ einfache, ergonomisch zweckmäßige, übersichtlich bedienbare und wirtschaftlich herstellbare neue Schaltvorrichtung.Advantageous with the new manually operated rotary knob-shaped switching device is not just about their concentric and coaxial arrangement too one, in particular time-keeping program carrier, but their recessed arrangement in the particularly ring-shaped program carrier. Advantageous is not only the relatively large area that can be achieved thereby and handy design of the new rotary or switch button, but also the technically relatively simple, ergonomically practical, Clearly operable and economically producible new switching device.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der neuen Schaltvorrichtung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher erläutert. Es zeigen

Die in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte elektromechanische Zeitschaltuhr, insbesondere in einer modularen Ausführung, besteht im wesentlichen aus dem Gehäuse 1, das mit einem quadratischen Querschnitt versehen ist. 2 bezeichnet einen zur Gehäusevorderseite 3 konzentrisch angeordneten, insbesondere ringförmigen, Programmträger, an dessen äußeren Umfang programmierbare Schaltreiter 4 angeordnet sind.The electromechanical timer shown in Figs. 1 and 2, especially in a modular version, consists essentially of the housing 1, which is provided with a square cross section. 2nd denotes a concentrically arranged to the housing front 3, in particular ring-shaped, program carrier, programmable on its outer circumference Schaltreiter 4 are arranged.

In der Fig. 1 zeigt 5 den neuen manuell beaufschlagbaren Dreh- bzw. Schaltknopf zur schaltprogrammunabhängigen Durchführung einer Schaltzustandsänderung. Der Dreh- bzw. Schaltknopf 5 ist konzentrisch zum Programmträger 2 und koaxial zu diesem verlaufend, insbesondere im Programmträger 2 völlig versenkt, angeordnet und mechanisch mit einer gehäuseinnseitig vorgesehenen, nicht näher gezeigten, elektromechanischen Schaltkontaktvorrichtung gekoppelt.1 shows 5 the new manually actuated rotary or Switch button for carrying out a switching state change independent of the switching program. The knob 5 is concentric with the program carrier 2 and coaxial to this, especially in the program carrier 2 completely recessed, arranged and mechanically with one inside of the housing provided, not shown, electromechanical switching contact device coupled.

Der Dreh- bzw. Schaltknopf 5 ist zweckmäßigerweise mit einem zur Vorderseite 6 hin vorgesehenen einseitigen, stegförmigen Schalthebel 7 versehen. 8 bezeichnet eine radial verlaufende Oberflächenveredelung, die auf der Vorderseite 6 des Dreh- bzw. Schaltknopfes 5 im äußeren Umfangsbereich 9 angeordnet ist.The rotary or switch button 5 is expediently with one to the front 6 provided provided one-sided, web-shaped shift lever 7. 8 denotes a radially extending surface finish that the front 6 of the knob 5 in the outer peripheral region 9 is arranged.

Es liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, daß die Vorderseite 6 des Dreh- bzw. Schaltknopfes 5, insbesondere hinsichtlich des Schalthebels 7 und/oder der Oberflächenveredelung 8 eine andere Gestaltung bzw. Ausführung aufweisen kann, als die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Ausbildung.It is within the scope of the invention that the front 6 of the rotary or Switch button 5, in particular with regard to the shift lever 7 and / or the surface finish 8 have a different design or execution can than the training shown in the drawing.
