Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electrical key switch with at least one tiltable, to at least a switching contact element acting rocker.
  • each actuation rocker either two switching elements arranged on both rocker ends or only be assigned a one-sided switching element. This naturally has an impact on the mechanical Storage of the operating rocker.
  • the present invention is based on the object to create a push button switch of the type mentioned, the one has high application variability, i.e. he is said to be simple and fast way without fundamental design changes be adaptable to different applications.
  • the push button switch according to the invention is also related the number of switching contact elements is very variable. So is it is possible that the switching arm in position with Switch base level essentially parallel connection level at both ends on one of two switch contact elements works. By tilting the switching arm using the Operating rocker in one of two possible tilt directions can either one or the other switch contact element be operated. Alternatively, the Switch arm only in this position parallel to the base plane act on one end of a switch contact element, whereby it then at the other end on a stationary abutment on the housing side is supported.
  • the switching arm acts at an inclined connection level preferably with its one running obliquely away from the base plane End on a switch contact element while he at the other end on a stationary abutment on the housing side is supported.
  • This support is particularly due to the inclination preferably via a pivotable Articulation (swivel bearing), for which the switching arm on his has a bearing seat at the end supported on the abutment, those with at least one stationary, housing-side Bearing interacts.
  • a pivotable Articulation tilt bearing
  • the bearing holder and the bearing journal (s) can be locked together.
  • a push button switch 1 according to the invention exists mainly from a housing part 2 (Fig. 1 and 2), wherein the housing part 2 in Fig. 1 from the top and in Fig. 2 is shown from the bottom.
  • On the The upper side is at least one tilting rocker 8 provided that at least one on the Switch contact element 10 to be arranged on the underside (only in 4 to 6) acts.
  • each actuating rocker 8 optionally on two switch contact elements 10 (Fig. 4) or only on a switching contact element 10 (Fig. 5 and 6) acts.
  • each actuating rocker 8 is expediently in their central area directly on the housing part 2 hinged about bearing elements 12.
  • each switching arm 14 is optionally in one of at least two different layers can be assembled, the switching arm 14 - see FIGS. 4 to 6 - on the one hand two mutually opposite system levels 16, 17 for optional, position-dependent interaction with the respective switch contact element 10 and on the other hand two the connection levels 16, 17 respectively opposite connection levels 18, 19 for optional, position-dependent interaction defined with the associated operating rocker 8.
  • the shift arm bridges 14 each exactly the space between the rocker switch 8 and the switch contact element or elements 10.
  • the Switch arm 14 in position with the base plane 20 parallel Connection level 18 at both ends on one of each two switch contact elements 10.
  • 6 is the Switch arm 14 also mounted so that the connection level 18 runs parallel to the base plane 20, but acts the switching arm 14 only has one end on a switching contact element 10 while he is elsewhere at a fixed, housing-side abutment 26 is supported. This is done the actuation of the switching contact element 10 by one-sided pressing on the operating rocker 8 on the Abutment 26 opposite side in the direction of arrow 24c.
  • This support is preferably carried out here due to pivotable articulation.
  • the shift arm points to this 14 at its end supported on the abutment 26
  • the bearing receptacle 28 and the bearing journal (s) 30 locked together.
  • Each switching contact element 10 is expediently on well-known rubber switching element is formed (so-called "SMD button”), which also serves as a spring element elastic resetting of the respective operating rocker 8 acts (via the switching arm 14).
  • the switch contact elements 10 makes sense on a flat circuit board 32 arranged, this circuit board 32 the Switch base level 20 defined or at least to the base level 20 is arranged in parallel.
  • the housing part 2 takes the invention Switch arms 14 on, for which a corresponding switch arm 14 Receiving chamber 34 is provided.
  • the elongated, approximately rod-shaped switching arm 14 only needs essentially loosely in the required mounting position in the corresponding Receiving chamber 34 to be inserted, apart from the latchable pivot bearing 28, 30 according to FIG. 5.
  • the housing part 2 can advantageously be an adapter for Connect the key switch 1 with a not shown Bus coupler of a common installation bus system form.
  • the invention is not based on the illustrated and described Embodiments limited, but also includes all designs having the same effect in the sense of the invention. Furthermore, the invention is not yet based on the Claim 1 defined combination of features limited, but can also by any other combination of certain characteristics of all the individual characteristics disclosed overall be defined. This means that basically practically every single feature of claim 1 omitted or by at least one elsewhere in the Application disclosed single feature can be replaced. In this respect, claim 1 is only a first attempt at formulation to understand for an invention.
