Definitions
- the invention relates to a switch actuating mechanism according to the Preamble of claim 1.
- the switch such as mirror adjustment in vehicles or switches for game consoles and the like can be used, the rocker arm is off a central rest position in all directions swiveling and through Spring force applied to the rest position.
- the switch actuating mechanism must corresponding mobility degrees of freedom have, coupled with variable restoring forces and locking positions could be.
- Complex movement patterns are with accordingly numerous, matched components feasible.
- the invention provides a switch actuating mechanism, the with minimal effort on components a complex movement pattern allowed for the rocker arm.
- the Rocker arm rotatable about its longitudinal axis and rotatably coupled to the spring washer.
- the spring washer alone is in able to return forces to return the rocker arm in his to deliver central rest position from every operating position out.
- the spring washer is curved and with its concave side facing the contact surface of the base.
- the spring washer and the contact surface on the inside of the base preferably have cooperating shapes, in particular, ramp surfaces sliding on each other, so that the Spring force produce a force acting in the circumferential direction component can.
- the spring washer and the contact surface additionally or alternatively cooperating with each other Moldings, the more detent positions of the rocker arm define.
- the switch actuating mechanism is in a socket or housing arranged, of which only a wall part 10 shown in FIG is.
- this wall part 10 is a spherical cap bearing receptacle 12 formed.
- this bearing seat 12 is a corresponding taken spherical cap-shaped bearing part 14 of a rocker arm, from that in Figure 1 except the bearing part 14 a connected thereto Shaft 16 is shown.
- the bearing part 14 has on the spherical cap-shaped Area then a cylindrical portion 18 and at its end facing away from the shaft 16 a radially projecting, circular disc-shaped flange 20.
- the central opening 22 of the Flange 20 is continued in the interior of the bearing part 14 and forms there a concavely rounded support surface 24.
- On the base of the actuating mechanism supported bearing pin 26 extends through the opening 22 and with its crowned rounded free end in Appendix to the concavely rounded support surface 24th
- a circular, dish-shaped curved spring washer 28 placed on the Ring flange 20 axially supported.
- the concave side of the plate spring 28 is the inner surface of the Wandungssteils 10 facing.
- the spring washer 28 has a central hole 30, the shape of the outer circumference of the cylindrical Part 18 of the bearing part 14 corresponds.
- the spring washer 28 lies with its outer periphery 34 on an inside, annular contact surface 36 of the wall part 10 at. These annular contact surface 36 is in the embodiment shown in FIG the wall part 10 sunk. As can be seen from Figure 2, has the spring washer 28 on its outer periphery 34 a number of pronounced Cams 38, namely four arranged at angular intervals of 90 ° Contact cams. The number and arrangement of the contact cam 38 is determined by the functionality of the switch to be actuated. These Cams 38 are mold designs that come with corresponding shapes the contact surface 36 for defining detent positions interact. These detent positions come with the rotation of the rocker arm 16 about its longitudinal axis.
- the rocker arm formed by bearing part 14 and shaft 16 is starting pivoted from the rest position shown in Figure 1 in all directions and at the same time rotatable about its axis.
- the spring washer 28 sets for the rocker arm in each of its deflection positions Restoring force ready him in the rest position shown in Figure 1 can lead back. Due to the curved shape of the spring washer 28 have the actuation and restoring forces a degressive characteristic.
- the spring washer 28 can also be used for a reverse rotation of the rocker arm provide restoring forces required in its rest position.
- To the cams 38 run over ramped areas of the contact surface 36. By the axial pressure on these ramped surface areas circumferentially oriented force components are generated.
- the described switch actuating mechanism met with only a few Compile all the requirements for complex switch functions and switch positions.
- the simple structure of the actuating mechanism enables efficient production in large quantities.
- the Switching feel of the actuating mechanism may be due to the nature the spring washer 28 can be largely determined.
- the essential parameters are the choice of material, the material thickness, the radius of curvature as well as the disc and the hole diameter.
