Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for adjusting an electrical Switching arrangement with a pair of electrical contacts to a predetermined Contact spacing and an electrical switching arrangement with a pair of electrical Contacts whose contact spacing is adjustable.
  • the setting of certain, predetermined contact distances can often only be made during final assembly because in the manufacture of the components involved and the pre-assembly of component groups can only be met within the permissible tolerances, which are in the can compensate for the best case, but in the worst case add up and lead to impermissibly high deviations from the specified contact distance can.
  • the contacts for actuating the horn are in motor vehicles usually housed in the steering wheel and by a predetermined amount spaced from each other so that from the mobile surface or from the Drive vibrations triggered to an unwanted Horn signal can lead.
  • the driver To trigger the horn signal, the driver must have a Press the automatically resetting pushbutton device by at least the Contact path movable relative to the steering wheel, but otherwise with the steering wheel is connected.
  • the freedom of movement the feeler can not be chosen arbitrarily large because of constructive effort for this must remain within reasonable limits and because that Triggering of the horn signal is not delayed by a reaction path that is too long may be.
  • the range of motion of the feeler device is smaller than the contact distance, no horn signal can be triggered. All of this results that there are only slight deviations from a given contact distance can be admitted and that one on an adjustment of the contact distance cannot do without final assembly.
  • US-A-3 069 516 shows a pair electrical switch assembly electrical contacts and a method for adjusting the electrical Switching arrangement to a predetermined contact distance.
  • a first contact is immovable on a movable first component and a second contact arranged immovably on a stationary second component.
  • the Adjustment of the contact distance is made by a sensor emptiness, the thickness of which corresponds to the desired contact distance, inserted between the contacts becomes.
  • the first component, a snap element is then attached to it the first contact located towards the second component until both Contacts are at the sensor empty.
  • an electromagnetic relay in which a predetermined contact distance between two contacts is set, one of the contacts being held immovably on a movable component is.
  • the area of the component that maintains contact is easily plastically deformable trained and is plastically deformed until the contact distance a predetermined Has reached value.
  • the setting of a contact distance is made possible on the one hand is extremely reliable and on the other hand with the lowest possible Effort can be done.
  • the contact 1 " is in the component 2 axially immovable and the contact 1 "holding area 4 of the movable component 2 formed plastically easily deformable to the to be able to easily set the desired contact distance.
  • the area 4 is designed so that it is relative to Component 2 can be pivoted slightly upwards or downwards, this pivoting in any case associated with a permanent, i.e. plastic, shape change is.
