Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch combination of two electrical switches according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such switch combinations which can block each other, are known for example from documents US 4,570,078 or US 3,908,108.
  • a switch combination In particular for controlling a cruise control of a motorcycle, a switch combination is known, consisting of an electrical toggle switch which can be pivoted from a middle position into two toggle positions and automatically returns to the middle position, and a further electrical switch which can assume two different switch positions.
  • Such a switch combination is used to control cruise control on motorcycles of the type Ultra Classic E-Glide from the manufacturer Harley-Davidson.
  • the further switch is an on / off switch with two switch positions, for example a toggle switch. It is used to switch the cruise control function on and off.
  • the electric toggle switch which can be swiveled from its middle position into two toggle positions and automatically returns to the middle position, is used to control the individual functions of the cruise control. If the electric toggle switch is in its middle position, the status quo is maintained.
  • the vehicle When the cruise control is switched on via the further electrical switch, the vehicle is continuously accelerated by moving the electrical toggle switch from its central position into one end position, a speed value currently being driven as the setpoint speed, or by holding the switch in this end position for a longer time. Swiveling the electric toggle switch to the other end position continuously decelerates the vehicle or restores a stored target speed value, which has been deactivated for a certain time, for example by turning the throttle grip.
  • the two switches for controlling the cruise control cannot be identified as a single unit, which is why the operation of the cruise control requires increased attention from the driver. For example, when operating the electrical toggle switch, it must be checked beforehand whether the other electrical switch is in the ON position.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an electrical switch combination which is easy to use and in which the arrangement of the individual switches, their interaction and common function can be recognized immediately without further action.
  • an electrical switch combination consisting of an electrical toggle switch which can be pivoted from a central position into two tilting positions and automatically returns to the central position, and from one Further electrical switch, which can assume at least two different switching positions, characterized in that the further electrical switch is a slide switch, the further actuating member of which is mutually dependent on the actuating member of the toggle switch, by the further actuating member of the sliding switch in at least one switching position of the actuating member of the Toggle switch mechanically blocked in its central position.
  • the directions of movement of the actuating member and the further actuating member are perpendicular to one another and the further actuating member of the slide switch engages around the actuating member of the toggle switch in its middle position at least partially in a positive manner in one of two switching positions.
  • This switch combination has been selected favorably, in particular for controlling a cruise control.
  • the electrical slide switch blocks the toggle switch in one of its end positions, the slide switch being in its off position.
  • the deactivated cruise control is immediately visually recognizable and at the same time its actuators are mechanically blocked.
  • a control lamp is provided, which is covered by the further actuating member of the slide switch in one of its switching positions.
  • a control lamp which indicates the switch-on state by means of lighting is advantageously placed in such a way that it is switched off by the slide switch is covered. This also makes it visually clear that the slide switch is off.
  • a compact switching unit with control lamp is created, which can be attached very cheaply in the grip area of a motorcycle rider on the motorcycle handlebar.
  • Each figure shows the respective switch combination in the two different switch positions on / off.
  • Figures 1, 2 and 3 show an actuator 1 of an electric toggle switch which can be pivoted from a drawn center position into two tilt positions.
  • the tilt directions are indicated in Figures 2 and 3 represented by the switch labels for the functions SET and RES, which are common when controlling a cruise control. If the actuator 1 of the toggle switch is briefly pivoted upwards in the direction of SET, a new speed setpoint is set. If the vehicle remains in this pivoted position for a longer period of time, it accelerates continuously up to a speed value which is stored when the actuating member 1 is released and therefore automatically returns to its central position.
  • a stored speed setpoint is used, namely that which was set before the actuation of a brake or a throttle grip or a clutch of the motorcycle which switches off the cruise control function. If the actuator 1 is deflected for a longer period in the direction RES, the vehicle decelerates continuously to a speed setpoint which corresponds to the speed when the actuator 1 is released. The actuating member 1 is automatically returned to the center position shown.
  • An indicator lamp 2 and the inscription ON indicate that the cruise control function is switched on.
  • a slide switch as a further electrical switch, is moved from this position, in which the cruise control function is switched on, perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the actuating member 1 in its direction, then another actuating member 3 of the sliding switch with a recess 4 is pushed over a bulge 5 on the actuating member 1 of the electric toggle switch. As a result, the actuating member 1 is partially positively encompassed by the further actuating member 3.
  • the actuator 1 of the electric toggle switch can no longer be deflected up or down, it is fixed in its central position.
  • the control lamp 2 and the inscription ON are covered by the further actuator 3 of the slide switch.
  • the inscription OFF from the other actuator 3 of the slide switch released. This is in its end position, in which the cruise control is switched off, that is, control of which is not possible. This is visually clear that the actuator 1 for the electric toggle switch is blocked by the other actuator 3 of the slide switch and is prevented from being deflected.
