Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical switching device according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Such electrical switching devices are generally intended to cause the switching on and off of a circuit or the switching from one to another circuit and / or the transmission of telegrams.
  • a variety of contact systems can be applied.
  • the operation of such switching devices can, for. B. by pivoting or depressing an associated actuating button from its initial position into one or more functional positions, wherein the functional positions can be performed detent and / or groping.
  • Such electrical switching devices are equipped with a light source so that either a function display and / or search lighting can be realized or can.
  • the DE 31 51 273 A1 is an electrical switching device with a trough-shaped base part for receiving an electrical circuit board known. On the electrical circuit board necessary for the realization of the required functions electrical / electronic components are arranged. It is provided an adjustable in several directions mounted actuating button, on the molded on the underside of the actuating cam at least one switching contact can be actuated.
  • the actuating button has at least one transparent light exit region provided for its illumination, which is formed by the one end of a light guide body, wherein a light source is provided in the switch interior, which is provided for coupling the emitted light in the other end of the light guide.
  • an electrical switching device which consists essentially of a base part on which at least one, adjustable in several directions actuating button is present. Directly on the actuating button is a label body with a Labeling field available.
  • a light-emitting diode which on the one hand is associated with a light guide, on the other hand emerges as a light exit area of the actuating surface of the actuating button.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an electrical switching device that has a particularly pleasing overall appearance with high functionality and realization of a particularly high illumination quality.
  • the optionally affixed labeling body with its inscription fields made particularly large and robust and thus not only particularly well to handle his caption, but also the label is particularly well readable even in the dark by the side illumination.
  • the actuating button is mounted in an adjustable manner on an intermediate ring in several directions, which in turn can be fixed to the base part, because so to make in a simple manner without changes to the base part, operating buttons with wholly different configurations can be used.
  • the use of different materials, such as plastic, glass, metal, etc. for the operation button is readily possible when using the same ausgestalteter base parts.
  • such electrical switching device mainly consists of a base part 1, on which an actuating button 2 is mounted adjustable in several directions.
  • the actuating button 2 can either be directly on the base part 1 -the sake of simplicity not shown- or set or stored via an intermediate frame 3 on the base part 1.
  • such an electric switching device can optionally or as needed be equipped with one or just as well with a variety of operation buttons 2. It is also possible to equip such an electrical switching device optionally or as needed with a labeling body 4.
  • Fig. 4 shows, the electrical switch device on an actuating button 2, which is mounted adjustable in several directions on the one hand to an intermediate frame 3.
  • this intermediate frame 3 can be fixed on the base part 1 by means of locking lugs (not shown) for the sake of simplicity.
  • the base part 1 is formed trough-shaped and takes in its interior a circuit board 5, on which the necessary for the function of electrical / electronic components are arranged.
  • Six microswitches 6 and seven light-emitting diodes 7 are shown in greater detail. The six microswitches 6 can be actuated to trigger the associated functions, depending on the actuation, via tappets correspondingly provided on the underside of the actuating button 2.
  • One of the seven light emitting diodes 7 is placed substantially centrally on the circuit board 5 and associated with an existing in the middle of the actuating button 2 Lichtleitstab with very small dimensions. About the centrally arranged Lichtleitstab the emitted light is used as operating or search lighting for the electrical switching device.
  • the remaining six light-emitting diodes 7 are combined into two groups of three light-emitting diodes 7 and assigned to each group two opposite side regions of the electrical switching device.
  • Each of the remaining six LEDs 7 a light guide body 8 present in the intermediate frame 3 at a corresponding position is assigned, on the one hand, on the other hand to the outside as a light exit region 9 below the underside of the actuating button 2 mounted on the intermediate frame 3.
  • each correspondingly formed through openings 11 are present for the passage of the light-conducting 8.
  • the arrangement of the light exit regions 9 is thus provided in the two opposite narrow sides 12 of the intermediate frame 3.
  • a fastening arrangement is formed for receiving the inscription body 4, which is designed as four fastening openings 13. Accordingly, four four immersed in the mounting apertures 13 mounting pin 14 are therefore present on the label body.
  • the inscription body 4 has two labeling fields 15, which are each arranged adjacently to the actuating surface of the actuating button 2 and along the two side walls 10 of the base part 1 and the two narrow sides 12 of the intermediate frame 3 extending.
  • each of the two labeling fields 15 only a single marking area 16, which is illuminated in each case by means of three LEDs 7.
  • Each of the two labeling fields of these two exemplary embodiments is assigned a transparent light-guiding plate 17, in order to achieve a more homogeneous illumination of the marking regions 16.
  • Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 shows the actuating button 2 or the operating buttons 2 via molded locking hooks 18 on the intermediate frame 3 or not shown- on the base part 1 in several directions kept adjustable or stored.
  • the latching hooks 18 each have a fork-shaped split training, so that each latching hook 18 each have two latching regions 19 are present.
  • the latching hooks 18 in the in Fig. 7 shown time blocked a third assignment step, so that a removal of the actuating button 2 from the intermediate frame 3 is not readily possible.
  • FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 pictured representation described in more detail.
  • the introduction of the locking hooks 18 takes place in their corresponding latching hook guide. Due to the insertion bevels on each latching hook 18, these bend back during insertion.
  • the two latching regions 19 of each latching hook 18 are compressed during further insertion.
  • final assembly state go the two locking portions 19 of the locking hooks 18 back to their original position and the locking elements 20 are finally behind the two locking portions 19 of the locking hooks 18 and block them.
  • a simple disassembly of the actuating button 2 is thus no longer possible without tools, which in a simple way, a removal of the keys from the intermediate frame is no longer possible.
