Definitions

  • the invention relates to a function control device. comprising at least one function selector, and intended in particular for equip the console of a motor vehicle.
  • the invention proposes to at least partially remedy the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • the basic idea of the present invention is to provide function control means whose identification is carried out by a symbol which can be changed depending on the context.
  • At least one selector can be rotary.
  • the device can have at least one tilting device, for example a joystick, controlling several actuators.
  • At least one says tilting device and at least one says rotary selector are advantageously coaxial. This is very advantageous from ergonomics point of view.
  • the device can have a coaxial wheel at least a tilting device, in the rest position.
  • the device has at least a control element which is both rotatable and tiltable, so that control, by rotation, the movement of at least one said selector, and of which tilting controls several actuators.
  • At least one actuator can be arranged vertically actuating element, for example a button, controllable by at minus a user's finger.
  • At least one symbol may be placed directly above a actuator.
  • an actuating element is also arranged in line with the actuator, there is a coincidence in the space between the aspect visual and manual aspect of the control, which is particularly ergonomic.
  • At least one selector can have a facade pierced with lights, the movement of the selector causing that of a part carrying symbols to selectively position them in front of the lights.
  • At least one selector can have a surface not opaque, for example a film, having said symbols, which is entrained by moving the selector and which is backlit in regions where we want to show a symbol.
  • Figure 1 shows a device according to the invention, which has an opaque facade 1 having openings or openings 2 and 3 as well as flexible regions 4 and 5 intended for press actuators 14 and 15 such as switches.
  • the facade 1 covers a selector 10 including a central region cylindrical or frustoconical 11 receives the central opening 8 of the facade 1.
  • the selector 10 has a crown 12 which has a certain number of symbols 18, here pictograms, distributed around its periphery, so to come position themselves in front of lights 2 and 3 for the various positions that the selector 10 is likely to present.
  • the pictogram 18 which appears through the light 2 corresponds to the function of switch 14, while the pictogram which appears at through light 3 corresponds to the function of switch 15.
  • Rotation of the selector in its different positions induces a modification of the function of switches 14 and 15, in correspondence with pictograms.
  • the selector 10 has, in known manner, a programming function, for example computer, of the function of switches 14 and 15. Alternatively, the selector 10 can cause move the switches, and in this case, at each pictogram, corresponds to a switch.
  • FIG. 2 shows a selector 10 constituted by a wide and flat rotary button 25, which is housed in the opening 8 and whose upper face 26 is coated with symbols 19 which are backlit by light-emitting diodes 20.
  • symbols 19 illuminated by four of these diodes 20, and four switches 14, 15, 16, 17, actuated by four flexible zones or four front panel buttons 4, 5, 6 and 7 1.
  • a film is used polycarbonate printed with 18 icons, which are not visible when they are not lit. Such films are widely used for the manufacture of dashboard backgrounds, especially for witnesses alerts.
  • a coaxial wheel can be used in addition to the selector for additional settings (volume etc ).
  • ordering the selector can perform the function of this dial.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates an embodiment of the invention in which the selector is actuated in rotation by a button 30 recalled by a spring.
  • the band change (AM / FM / OC) is obtained by pressing the T 3 key in front of the "BAND" symbol, the frequency changes (by jumps or between stored frequencies) are obtained by the left keys T 1 (to decrease the frequency) and right T 2 (to increase the frequency).
  • the lower key T 4 is used to switch from manual mode MAN to memory mode MEM, for the choice of frequencies.
  • the T 3 and T 4 keys can be used to select an option (balance, bass, treble, "RDS” function, etc.).
  • the keys T 1 and T 2 are used to validate or deactivate the option.
  • FIG. 5 represents a device which is controlled by a "Joystick” 40 which combines rotational and tilting.
  • the selector 10 By pressing the lever 40 in the direction of the arrow F ', the selector 10 is disengaged, and the rotation of the lever 40 makes it possible to place the selector 10 according to a chosen mode.
  • the inclination of the lever in the direction of the arrows F 1 , F 2, etc. then makes it possible to act on the actuators, such as switches 14 ... 17, of the selector 10.
  • the lever or wheel 60 has only the rotation function allowing selection mode of the selector 10.
  • the actuators (14 ... 17) are operated by tilting of an annular part 70 which surrounds the base 61 of the wheel 60.
  • the actuators are advantageously arranged directly above the symbols (18, 19).
  • it is the position of the lever 40, directed (arrows F 1 and F 2 ) towards the pictogram or the chosen symbol which controls the actuator (14 ... 17) corresponding to the function wanted.
  • one can act on the actuator by pressing on the pictogram which covers the upper face of the tilting part 70. In both cases, the ergonomics are particularly good.
