Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating device for a retractable control knob with a locking device for the axial locking and unlocking of the resiliently extendable control knob by means of a slotted guide, in particular for a rotary switch of a vehicle.
  • Such devices are e.g. according to DE 4330502 A provided with a stationary link part, in the heart cam connected to the resiliently biased control knob, laterally deflectable slide pin engages such that the axial position of the control knob cyclically changes by simply pressing between two different stroke positions. All stops and guides are formed here on the housing, which must be designed correspondingly complex and stable.
  • the invention has the object to increase the bolt safety and to improve the storage of the moving parts of the operating device.
  • Such rotary gate drives are known per se in stepwise cyclically switching position changing pushbutton switches, the actual adjustment of the switch is effected directly by one or more impressions of the push button.
  • a rotatable gate part is rotated gradually defined. This is kinematically connected to active switching elements. In the different rotational positions of the Kulussenteils so different switching positions can be realized.
  • the uses of such a drive for a mere Verund unlocking according to the invention has the advantage that along the circular path at the stationary gate surfaces a plurality of support points can be created, where the multiple, the push button associated link elements on a broad basis with a correspondingly high bias support.
  • the push button is securely fixed in its cave position and its axial angular position, without requiring an accurate guide in the housing is required. Lateral tilting of the push button is reliably avoided.
  • the outside of the button can be kept exactly centered in an opening of the instrument board without lateral offset. Due to the large support and sliding surfaces of the slide drive materials of lower strength and better sliding properties can be used.
  • the printhead is fixed tip over.
  • the push button in the extended state under bias in a defined altitude on the instrument board can be supported without play, without requiring a housing must be precisely fixed to the instrument board. This simplifies the design of the operating device and their installation in the instrument board. This procedure is facilitated by the fact that the push button can be anchored particularly secure in its depressed position by means of the multiple link elements, so that the risk of unintentional unlocking with apart hurling items is negligible.
  • an operating device 1 has a central, axially fixed rotor 2 for driving an underlying rotary instrument (not shown).
  • the rotor is provided with outer longitudinal grooves 3, in which a hood-like push button 4 engages with at least one inwardly projecting driver 5 axially displaceable and rotationally secure.
  • a plurality of axially projecting, circularly distributed, outwardly facing latching hooks 6 are mounted on which a locking ring 7 is fixed axially and rotatably supported.
  • the rotor 2 is received in a cylinder-like housing 8, on whose inner wall circumferentially distributed longitudinal webs 9 are formed, which are formed in a central portion as a fixed link elements 10 of a rotary link drive.
  • the locking ring 7 has in a circular distribution outwardly projecting cam-like movable link elements 11 which engage between the fixed link elements 10 and together with these form the link drive.
  • the longitudinal webs 9 are interrupted in the central portion and give an annular orbit 16 for the movable link elements 11 free.
  • a circumferential cam track is formed with upwardly projecting cam 13.
  • the rotor 2 is in this height against rotation and axially displaceable surrounded by a locking ring 14 with downwardly projecting locking cam 15 which engage in a ratchet-like manner between the cams 13.
  • a spiral compression spring 23 is clamped, which presses the locking ring 14 down and the push button 4 up with a collar-like stopper 20 against a stop shoulder 22 of a dashed line indicated instrument panel 21.
  • the push button 4 is pushed out of the dash-dotted lines indicated recessed locking position in an operating position in which he can be detected by hand and twisted. This twist is - under the ratcheting effect of the locking ring 14 - on the rotor. 2 and transferred from this example to an unillustrated rotary potentiometer for setting a luminous intensity. Subsequently, the push button 4 can be moved with entrainment of the circularly fixed locking ring 7 in the region of the orbit 16.
  • the mutually facing end faces of the longitudinal webs 9 ramps 17, which are adapted to corresponding counter-slopes of the trapezoidal movable link elements 11 of the locking ring 7 such that they are displaced in the same direction when pressed against the ramps 17.
  • the arranged above the orbit 16 longitudinal webs 9 are offset to the lower so far and arranged on the gap that the movable locking elements 11 are further rotated by alternately pressing and releasing the push button 4 in the engagement region of the next fixed locking element 10.
