Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary switch according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Rotary switches are often found in automotive engineering, among others. their use in panels. Such rotary switches or rotary resistors are from DE 197 12 294 C1, DE 196 36 643 C1 and DE 198 34 374 A1. In a special embodiment Rotary switches also designed as compact rotary actuators.
  • the object of the invention is to demonstrate a rotary switch that meets the head impact criteria corresponds.
  • the invention is based on the idea of material that can be displaced into a rotary switch, for example in the form of fractures, which integrate the Allow immersion of the rotary knob in a front panel of the motor vehicle and commercial vehicle.
  • These breaking points can be used as yielding ribs with a predetermined breaking point or as Spring elements can be designed.
  • a rotary switch 1 here as a rotary actuator, is shown in a simplified representation, which consists of a hollow rotary knob 2, which cooperates with a lower knob part 3 and is installed in a panel 4, for example a front panel of a motor vehicle.
  • the rotary knob lower part 3 (or the rotary knob 2 not shown here in more detail) has spring elements 5 distributed around its outer circumference, which are introduced into recesses in the rotary knob lower part 3 or the rotary knob 2.
  • a free space 8 is provided between the rotary knob 2 and the lower rotary part 3.
  • the turntable 1 has a bushing 9 in the lower part 3 of the knob, for example for coupling light (not shown in more detail).
  • a grinder plate 10 is attached to the rotary knob lower part 3, from which a signal is tapped in a known manner via contacts 11 of a base plate 7.
  • FIG. 2 the turntable 1 from Fig. 1 is shown, but here with ribs 6.
  • the ribs 6 have a predetermined breaking point 6.1 in a predetermined area.
  • the same reference numerals have been used in Fig. 2 as in Fig. 1, so that a new There is no need to list the reference numerals in the further description of the figures for FIG. 2 can.
  • the function of the spring elements 5 or the ribs 6 is as follows.
  • a high force acts on the turntable 1 from the rear (direction of travel), for example due to the impact of a driver body, which is greater than the force of the spring elements 5 or the stability of the ribs 6. This causes them to break or crush, either on the upper parts of the spring elements 5 or in the predetermined breaking points 6.1 of the ribs 6.
  • the rotary knob 2 is no longer supported at these so-called breaking points by the spring elements 5 or the ribs 6 breaking away and moves by the force acting through the panel 4 in the direction of the lower part 3 and the base plate 7.
  • the squeezed parts and the lower part 3 are pressed into the space 8 in the rotary knob 2. If the spring elements 5 or the ribs 6 are on the rotary knob 2, the same movement takes place and the rotary knob 2 also goes in the direction of the lower knob part 3, in which case the free space must be present in the counterpart, ie in the lower knob part 3.
  • a button 13 which is mechanically held by a holder 14, is integrated in the rotary knob 2 as in FIG. 1, for example.
  • the lower part 3 of the knob is mounted on the holder 14.
  • the key 13 has vertical guide grooves 13.1, in which the holder 14 engages with its holding fingers 14.1.
  • Three guide grooves 13.1 should preferably be provided for a uniform keying.
  • the tactile path is limited by a depression 2.1 in the upper knob 2. If the key 13 is a hollow probe element, as in this exemplary embodiment, the holding fingers 14.1 preferably engage in the guide groove 13.1 from the inside.
  • the key 13 has a light guide 15, which is preferably guided on one side within the key 13 and protrudes into the head region of the key 13 for illuminating a key symbol 16.
  • This light guide 15 engages in a contact dome 17 which has a central passage 17.1 for the light from a light element 18 of a printed circuit board 19, for example an LED. Via this contact dome 17, the contacts in the contact dome 17 and the contacts of the printed circuit board 19 are contacted when the button 13 is pressed.
  • rotary actuator 1 can also be used in aircraft and rail vehicles, which has to meet similar requirements, i.e. if with increased external force the knob top 2 should not protrude from the panel 4, so the risk of injury can be reduced.
