Definitions
- the invention relates to a retractable rotary knob in an operating device a bearing element and an actuating element axially displaceable in the bearing element, the bearing element and the actuating element via a Spring element for exerting an axial force on the actuating element are interconnected and the bearing element has a guideway two end positions arranged essentially axially one behind the other for a Has locking element which has an actuating position and one to the actuating position Set the axially offset rest position of the actuating element.
- Such a retractable rotary knob is for example from DE 34 27 378 A1 and DE 42 30 160 A1 are known.
- Retractable knobs are used to set switching or control devices used, which are arranged behind a switch panel. Such retractable knobs are used especially in household appliances, such as for example, cookers or washing machines.
- In the normal Actuating position projects the actuating element of the rotary knob over a Surface of the control unit, so that by turning the actuator the desired settings can be made. By exerting an axial pressure on the actuating element, this becomes pushed against the force of a spring element in the control unit.
- On The locking element runs through a guideway and locks in an end position a, which determines the rest position of the actuator. At rest essentially closes the actuator with the surface of the control unit. Mechanical wear of the locking element To avoid on the guideway is proposed in DE 34 27 378 A1 that locking element movable to hold and by means of another spring element to press into the guideway.
- the object of the invention is therefore a retractable Specify rotary knob, which has a simplified structure and in particular, can easily be assembled from the individual parts.
- the task is solved in a generic rotary knob in that the locking element is integrated in the spring element.
- Design of a retractable rotary knob is therefore not necessary separate insertion of the locking element.
- the locking element and the spring element are designed as one part, which simplifies assembly.
- the Spring element is designed in particular as a spiral spring.
- the embodiment is the end connected to the actuating element the coil spring to realize the locking element in the axial direction in the Inside of the coil spring and then approximately at right angles to the axis of the Spring element bent out.
- the actuating element Has guide groove into which the end of the coil spring acting as a locking element can be introduced easily.
- Rotary knob used in particular in motor vehicle control units become.
- the rotary knob is, for example, with a control dial connected.
- Preferred areas of application in motor vehicles are control elements of a motor vehicle air conditioning unit and in particular an operating element for temperature control. Because such a control element is not is constantly needed, the design here as a retractable Rotary knob.
- the retractable rotary knob is in the rest position then protected against damage.
- the control button then fulfills at the same time also aesthetic needs.
- Another area of application in motor vehicles is the use of the rotary knob as an operating element of an audio device, especially a radio.
- a retractable knob according to the invention is shown.
- the Knob consists of a bearing element 1 and an actuating element 2, which are connected to one another via a spiral spring 3.
- the bearing element 1 has a cuboid inner part 4 with a guideway 5, which in is known partially heart-shaped.
- the actuator 2 has an inner part 6, which is designed as a hollow cuboid and on which Bearing element 1 facing side is open.
- the inside dimensions of the Inner part 6 are on the outer dimensions of the inner part 4 of the bearing element 1 adapted so that the actuating element 2 in the bearing element 1 to be led.
- the coil spring 3 is designed so that the actuator 2 connected end of the coil spring 3 to realize a Locking element 7 in the axial direction into the interior of the coil spring 3 and is then bent approximately at right angles to the axis of the coil spring.
- the actuating element 2 in the area of the inner part 6 Guide groove 8, which is initially in the axial direction and then at right angles is designed for this.
- the locking element 7 can easily in the Guide groove 8 are inserted and remains in the perpendicular to the axial Directional area. So there is a secure connection between the coil spring 3 and the actuator 2 realized.
- the locking element 7 can now be inserted into the guideway 5 of the bearing element 1.
- Axial pressure on the actuating element 2 causes the spiral spring 3 compressed and the locking element 7 through the guide track 5 in one Rest position 8 spent.
- This end position marks the rest position of the Actuator.
- the locking element leaves the rest position 8 and is by the spring force of the coil spring 3 and the guideway 5 in the end position 9 transferred.
- the end position 9 corresponds to the operating position of the Actuating element 2. In the installed state, the actuating element protrudes 2 in this position beyond the surface of an operator panel and can thus be operated.
- the bearing element 1 has a non-round receptacle 10 for the likewise not round axis 11 of a control element 12. In the operating position of the Actuating element 2 can therefore be turned by rotating the actuating element 2 about the bearing element 1, the axis 4 of the rotary controller 12 are rotated, so that the desired settings are made.
- FIG 2 is a front and a side view of an operating device for a Motor vehicle air conditioner shown.
- the operating device 13 has operating elements 14 to 18, which are designed as pressure switches. About the controls 14 to 18 different operating conditions of the air conditioning system can be set become. For example, using the control element 14 for recirculation mode switched and a particularly economical via the control element 15 Operating state can be selected. An automatic Operating state set or via the control element 17 by repeatedly pressing one of other different operating states to be selected.
- the operating device has a display 19, on the display of which Driver is informed about the selected operating conditions. Furthermore are two retractable knobs 20, 21 available, via which the interior temperature or the power of a blower motor can be selected can.
- the knobs 20, 21 are those according to the invention retractable knobs.
- FIG. 2 of the control unit In the side view also shown in FIG. 2 of the control unit are the two possible positions of the control element 20 shown. In the rest position, the control element 20 is in the essentially sunk into the control unit 13. Shown in dashed lines Operating position 20 a, however, the control element protrudes from the surface of the control unit 13 so that the desired settings are made can be.
