Definitions
- the present invention relates to a multi-function toggle switch an actuating element that can be tilted about a tilt axis with two one side of the actuator, but on different sides of the Tilt axis arranged pressure feet, which alternatively when tilting the Actuating element engage with a plate that is bridge-like two in particular as elastically compressible and in particular arranged switching domes formed a common switching mat Pressure switches spanned, each with respect to the tilt axis Outside of the pressure feet are arranged so that when a Press force of a first strength on the actuating element on one side the tilt axis of the first pressure switch located on this side Swiveling the plate around the second pressure switch and during insertion a pressure force of a second, in contrast greater strength same side of the actuator under the second pressure switch Swiveling the plate around the first pressure switch is operated and vice versa.
- Such switches are used, for example, in the automotive sector Switching power windows used.
- the Multi-function toggle switch functions "Lift”, “Lower”, “Fast Lift “and” Quick lower ".
- the invention has for its object a multi-function toggle switch of the type mentioned in such a way that this despite a small footprint and low manufacturing costs Differentiation of the four possible switching states guaranteed.
- This object is achieved in that one of the two sides of the actuating element a third switch is assigned, which when inserting a pressure force of the second strength on this side of the actuating element is operated.
- the idea of the invention is therefore to provide a third switch, which only if a pressure force of the second strength is applied to one Side of the actuator, but not on the other side of the Actuating element is actuated.
- the second and third switches are additional strengths on the same side actuated when a compressive force of a first strength is applied to the second Side of the actuating element, only the second switch is actuated and when a compressive force of a second strength is applied to this side the first and the second switch, but not the third switch operated.
- These four switching states can then, for example, the commands Associated with "Lift", “Lower”, “Fast Lift” and "Fast Lower” become.
- the invention has Multi-function toggle switches have the advantage of taking up little space and to be inexpensive to manufacture. In particular No expensive electronic circuit is required to match the four To differentiate between switching states.
- the third switch is between arranged the first and the second switch and by an associated Recess in the plate can be actuated.
- the multi-function toggle switch according to the invention becomes even more space-saving.
- it can be manufactured in the same size as a multi-function toggle switch with only two switching domes and with electronic Circuit to distinguish between the four switching states.
- the third switch arranged opposite a pressure foot, and has this pressure foot to operate the third switch one through the recess in the Push the plunger through.
- This configuration is constructive inexpensive and particularly space-saving.
- the third switch requires only a few additional components. Only one of the pressure feet has to be provided with a plunger, which is attached to this so that it has the recess in the plate reaches through and actuates the third switch when by insertion a compressive force of the second strength both the first and the second switches are actuated.
- the third switch is also preferred as being elastically compressible Switch dome trained.
- the third switch can be cheap along with the first and the second switch on a common switch mat to be ordered.
- only the first one and the second switch has a noticeable switching point.
- the feel of the Switch according to the invention is thus advantageously with and without Actuation of the third switch immediately.
- So the shift feeling is correct with fast lifting and fast Lowering is the same as for lifting and lowering.
- the multi-function toggle switch shown comprises an actuating element 1, which is mounted tiltable about an axis I. At its bottom the actuating element 1 has two spaced apart Pressure feet 2 and 3. The two pressure feet 2 and 3 are on different Sides of the tilt axis I arranged.
- the first Shift dome 5 and a second shift dome 6 carries.
- the first switching dome 5 and the second switching dome 6 are each in relation to the tilt axis I. provided on an outside of the two pressure feet 2 and 3.
- a plate 7 is arranged tiltable the top of which the two pressure feet 2 and 3 of the actuating element Attack 1.
- the plate 7 has a recess 8 through which a plunger 9 engages, which on the lower end face of the first pressure foot 2 is provided.
- the plunger 9 opposite a third switching dome 10 is arranged on the switching mat 4, which via the plunger 9 can be actuated. By compressing the switching domes 5, 6 and 10 an electrical contact is closed in each case.
- each assigned to a desired function can, for example, "Lift”, “Lower”, “Fast Lift” and “Rapid lowering” of a motor vehicle window.
- the invention is Multi-function toggle switches are structurally inexpensive. Since no electronic Circuits are required, it is also inexpensive in the Manufacturing. In addition, there is no danger that the four switching states cannot be clearly distinguished from one another.
