Definitions
- the invention relates to an operating element of an electrical / electronic installation device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention can for example for electronic flush-mounted devices such as dimmers and blind switches be used.
- the controls used to operate flush-mounted devices mostly exist consisting of a rocker and a base, which are locked together. Between these mostly made of plastic parts there is a necessary for actuation Electronics in the form of a circuit board coated on one side with a simple layout.
- the circuit board can be equipped with electronic and / or electrical components, for example Resistors. Micro switches, elastomer switching mats can be used as switching elements or switch plates ("pop frog") can be used.
- the contact between The control unit and flush-mounted device are made using those on the circuit board (soldered) contact pins or pin headers. Contact these contact pins / pin headers with resilient contact pieces, which are soldered into the flush-mounted device.
- a disadvantage of such a generally known control element is the high required number of parts.
- the required individual parts must be partially used expensive tools are manufactured.
- the high number of parts requires a considerable amount Effort when installing the control element. Since the various items in are usually to be arranged one above the other, there is inevitably a certain minimum height an operating element that cannot be undercut. Hereby design freedom is restricted.
- the invention has for its object a control element of an electrical / electronic Installation device of the type mentioned with a simplified structure specify.
- the proposed Control element is composed of very few individual parts. This reduces the investment costs (for example, the cost of manufacturing tools of the individual parts) and the assembly costs. The use of your own (separate) circuit board and own (separate) switching elements is no longer required.
- the proposed Control element can be made very flat, which is the design Freedom or design options increased.
- an operating element of the first embodiment is shown in section. It is one To recognize rocker 1, on the inside of which a plurality of ribs 2 are formed. This Ribs 2 are engaged with actuating arms located on the top of a base 4 3.
- the actuating arms 3 have contact surfaces 5 at their ends.
- Corresponding contact surfaces 6 are in corresponding locations on the base 4 integrated.
- a connection part resilient contact pieces
- the electrical connection between these contact pins 7 and the contact surfaces 6 are made by conductor tracks 8 integrated in the base 4. To the conductor tracks 8 electrical / electronic components can be connected (not shown).
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of the top of a base 4. It are the integrally formed actuating arms 3 which can be acted upon by means of the actuating arms integrated contact areas 6 and the integrated conductor tracks 8 to recognize.
- FIG. 3 shows a view of the underside of a base 4, in particular the contact pins 7 can be seen.
- Control element 4 shows an operating element of the second embodiment in section.
- This Control element is very flat and enables the design of electrical / electronic installation devices with a very flat design.
- the structure the control element is in principle similar to the structure described in FIG. 1, however, due to the flat shape to act upon the actuating arms 3 serving ribs 2 are only available in a greatly reduced form.
- the production is preferably carried out using MID technology (Molded Interconnect Devices) especially in two-component injection molding technology.
- MID technology Molded Interconnect Devices
- This special MID manufacturing process enables a high degree of design freedom, through-connection without additional Measures and a high flexibility with regard to the layer structure, whereby the efficiency of the manufacturing process is very high.
- a first component is used to produce the base 4 in a first step 9 molded from a galvanizable plastic ("first shot").
- component 9 is partially coated with a second Component 10 made of a non-galvanizable, electrically insulating plastic ("second shot”).
- second shot is used in particular to ensure a mechanically robust structure of the base 4 and for electrical insulation of the base to rocker 1 and the flush-mounted device.
- a third step there is a Surface activation of component 9 made of the galvanizable plastic.
- the exposed areas of the component are metallized 9 made of the galvanizable plastic by applying a first metal layer 11 (basic metallization).
- the surface is finished by applying a second metal layer 12 with very good electrical Conductivity on the base metallization to create the contact areas 5, 6, contact pins 7 and conductor tracks 8.
