Definitions
- the invention relates to a switching device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a switching device can be seen, for example, from DE 41 17 031.
- This switching device has both the function of a rotary switch and a further function, for example the function of a pressure switch.
- an upstanding shaft part is arranged on the inside of a housing on an inner bottom surface, on which a rotary plate with a grinder mounted thereon is mounted.
- the grinder is equipped with a star, which are arranged on a carrier plate, in electrical contact. Due to the rotary movement of the shaft part, the grinder slides over the switching pattern, whereby contacts can be changed.
- a tubular elastic contact member is placed around the shaft part.
- a manually operated button is movable around and along a bearing part of the rotary plate, so that when the button is turned, the rotary plate is rotated for a switching operation of a rotary switch which is formed by the grinder and a first switching pattern.
- the contact member is actuated by the button like a pressure switch, which is formed by a second switching pattern and the elastic contact member.
- Such a switching device has a small height, but a large width and depth, since the switching patterns are arranged on a flat carrier plate perpendicular to the direction of rotation of the rotary switch.
- the shaft arranged centrally in the housing means that central lighting of the rotary switch and the pressure switch is not readily possible.
- the pressure switch and / or the rotary potentiometer it should be possible for the pressure switch and / or the rotary potentiometer to be illuminated in a simple manner.
- the design of the rotary potentiometer as a hollow cylindrical shape, in the interior of which the pressure switch is arranged, has the particularly great advantage that the pressure switch is completely decoupled from the rotary potentiometer. It can advantageously be provided that in addition to the pressure switch in the interior of the rotary potentiometer, further elements, for example light-conducting elements or also guide and actuating elements of the rotary potentiometer are arranged. Due to the relatively large cylindrical interior of the hollow cylindrical rotary potentiometer, there are in principle a wide variety of arrangement options for pressure switches, lighting elements, guide and / or actuating elements of the rotary potentiometer and any other components such as switching elements, printed circuit boards and the like. possible.
- the actuating element of the rotary potentiometer is of hollow cylindrical design and is rigidly coupled to a grinder which can be moved on a resistance track by a rotary movement of the rotary potentiometer.
- a gimbal coupling can also be provided in order to enable any angular arrangements of the actuating element on the grinder.
- Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment making use of the invention. Description of the embodiments
- FIG. 1 An exemplary embodiment of a switching device, shown in FIG. 1, comprises a rotating ring 10 which is connected to a grinder 20 in a rotationally fixed manner.
- the grinder 20 is guided in a potentiometer guide ring 30. It slides on a potentiometer base plate 32 on which a resistance track is arranged in a manner known per se.
- the rotary ring 10, the grinder 20, the potentiometer guide ring 30 and the potentiometer base plate 32 have a hollow cylindrical shape, with an internal, continuous, rather large opening in which a pressure switch 40 is arranged.
- the pressure switch 40 is completely decoupled from the rotary ring and the grinder 20, so that the rotary ring 10 and the grinder 20 can be rotated without an actuating element 41 of the pressure switch 40 being thereby set into a rotary movement.
- the entire arrangement is attached to a front panel 50, it can be arranged at an angle to a carrier or printed circuit board 60, as shown in FIG. 1.
- the circuit board 60 is connected to the potentiometer base plate 32 by electrical conductors, for example wires 34.
- a switch element 42 can be provided on the circuit board 60, which can be actuated by a lower, essentially flat end plate 43 of the switch 40.
- additional light-emitting diodes 70 are arranged on the circuit board 60 for illuminating the pressure switch 40 in the second exemplary embodiment.
- the lower end plate 43 of the pressure switch 40 has openings 44 through which the actuating element 41 can be illuminated in the form of a button of the pressure switch 40.
- the internal pressure switch 40 is decoupled in terms of movement from the rotary ring.
- an angular deviation between the axis of the actuating elements of the combined rotary pressure switch and the printed circuit board 60 can be compensated for in a simple manner.
- the switching device described above serves as an absolute value transmitter and pulse switch, for example in air distribution actuators of a motor vehicle heating and air conditioning control unit.
- the switching device can be clipped into a front panel 50 or fastened in / on it in some other way.
- the rotating ring can be ring 30 and a locking link on the grinder with a micro-locking (not shown).
- the switching device can be contacted with the printed circuit board 60 via solder pins or soldered or pluggable jumpers or the like.
- the switching device described above with its large inner diameter as the core assembly, offers the possibility of constructive placement and mechanical decoupling of further switch elements in its interior, for example electronic circuits, lighting elements or the like.
- the switching device By integrating the switching device in a front panel 50, a simple and robust compensation of angular and positional deviations between actuating element 41 and printed circuit board 60 is achieved in contrast to elements known from the prior art and mounted on printed circuit boards 60.
- the switching device has a much larger electrical function angle than is technically feasible with smaller rotary potentiometers.
- the large interior of the hollow cylindrical rotary potentiometer offers enough space for several independent light guide systems for night and functional lighting.
