Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for adjusting an electrical Switching arrangement with a pair of electrical contacts a predetermined contact distance and an electrical switching arrangement with a pair of electrical contacts, the contact distance between them is adjustable.
- the setting of certain, predetermined contact distances can often only be carried out during final assembly because during production of the components involved and the pre-assembly of component groups Dimensional deviations are only observed within the permissible tolerances can, which can balance themselves out in the best case, in worst case, however, add up and deviations are too high can lead from the specified contact distance.
- the contacts to operate the horn are usually in motor vehicles Steering wheel housed and spaced from each other by a predetermined amount, thus from the mobile surface or from the drive machine Triggered vibrations do not lead to an unwanted horn signal can.
- the driver To trigger the horn signal, the driver must automatically Press the resetting pushbutton by at least the contact path movable relative to the steering wheel, but otherwise with the steering wheel is connected.
- the freedom of movement the key device can not be chosen arbitrarily large can, because the design effort for this is reasonable must stay and because the horn signal is not triggered by one long reaction path may be delayed.
- the touch device can be smaller than the contact distance no horn signal can be triggered. From all of this it follows that only minor Deviations from a specified contact distance are permitted can be and that one on an adjustment of the contact distance cannot do without final assembly.
- US-A-3 069 516 which is the closest prior art is viewed, shows an electrical switching arrangement with a pair electrical contacts and a method for adjusting the electrical Switching arrangement to a predetermined contact distance.
- a first contact is immovable on a movable first component and a second contact arranged immovably on a stationary second component.
- the Adjustment of the contact distance is carried out by a sensor blank, the thickness of which corresponds to the desired contact distance, inserted between the contacts becomes.
- the first component, a snap element is then attached to it the first contact located towards the second component until both Contacts are at the sensor empty.
- an electromagnetic relay in which a predetermined contact distance between two contacts is set, one of the contacts being held immovably on a movable component is.
- the area of the component that maintains contact is easily plastically deformable trained and is plastically deformed until the contact distance one has reached the specified value.
- the setting of a contact distance enables extremely reliable on the one hand and on the other hand can be carried out with as little effort as possible.
- the one contact has a cross section in the form of a polygon has, in an adapted polygonal recess of the movable component is held axially displaceable and by rotation about its Longitudinal axis with plastic deformation of the contact and / or the movable component is axially positively fixed in the latter.
- the movable component is turned from a rest position brought the specified contact distance into a working position, then the polygon relative to the movable component until the Counter contact advanced and finally by turning around the longitudinal axis fixed in the moving component.
- the polygon in the pre-assembly in the movable component too far towards the counter contact plugged in when it moves the movable component automatically from the rest position to the working position by the counter contact pushed back into the correct position relative to the movable component and can then be form-locked. It is without further apparent that with the initially axially displaceably held a contact just a very rough approximation to the one you want Contact spacing is required and that the exact contact setting you want in the final assembly easily by rotating the polygon relatively is accessible to the moving component.
- the contact 1 is in cross section hexagonal contact 1 in a hexagonal recess of the Component 2 held axially displaceable, the clamping effect at least should be so large that contact 1 is not inadvertently can fall out of component 2.
- the contact 1 is rotated about 30 ° about its longitudinal axis shown and thereby axially positive relative to component 2 set, taking care of it by appropriate material selection can that a plastic deformation on the contact 1 and / or on the movable Component 2 takes place.
- the second Contact 1 'circular cylindrical and oversized in the movable Component 2 is pressed. Relatively by further pressing to the movable component 2, the contact 1 'is in the desired end position axially movable, non-positively lockable.
- the contact presetting, especially if too a combined non-positive and positive axial fixation on circular cylindrical contact 1 'provided hook-shaped projections 3 are done so that the contact 1 'relative to the component 2 in the sectional view must be pushed down further. A correction of the contact distance in the opposite direction is not possible.
