  • the rod has an annular groove in which is housed a tongue integral with a contact flange rotatably mounted near the rod, according to a axis orthogonal to the axis of the rod.
  • the groove drives the tongue, the displacement of which causes a rotation of the contact flange.
  • the contact flange wears a second tongue, the free end of which is arranged opposite a plurality of ranges of electrical contact, the latter being provided at the ends of runways electrical conduction.
  • the second tab moves by one contact pad to the other, the second tab being shaped so that its free end is arranged in contact with the contact pads.
  • control device structure presented in this patent is however complex to achieve due in particular to the number of different elements necessary for its operation and the relative positioning of some of these items that must be specific.
  • this structure has a space requirement important and requires the creation of a track-range of electrical contact by axial position of the rod.
  • the device described can present problems. wear related to poor aging over time due to its operation. Indeed, a plurality of the constituent elements of this device are caused to slide with friction on each other, the contact flange on its support and the free end of the second tab on the contact pads, which gives rise to significant wear during operation. In addition, these friction can release small particles of matter which are likely to disrupt the operation of the device in the long term.
  • the main object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the art above mentioned by proposing a structure simple to implement, reliable and good performance over time for an appliance control device electronic.
  • the subject of the invention is a control device for an apparatus electronics of the type described above, characterized in that the rod presents at the at least two axial portions of different respective sections of which at least one is capable of cooperating with the contact element in such a way that the latter has different distances to the X axis depending on the axial position occupied by the rod, a contact being established between the contact element and the supply terminal in one of the two axial positions.
  • Such a structure allows, by its simple kinematics, to produce a device reliable with little wear over time and space reduced.

So when the rod is moved to another axial position so that a section portion lower is next to the movable contact element, the latter is approximates the rod due to its elastic properties.
  • the following description relates to a particular embodiment in which the rod 1 has two stable “pulled” axial positions and an axial position unstable “push", in addition to a rest or neutral position, also stable.

  • the module 2 also includes a cover 7 covering the entire device on the support plate 4.
  • the upper face 8 of the cover 7 comprises a recess 9 of particular shape forming a housing for a spring 10 open.
  • the spring 10 has a particular shape, known from the prior art, adapted to maintain the rod 1 in its three stable axial positions. Indeed, the spring 10 comprises a first portion 11 forming a base, substantially planar and arranged in the thickness of the face 8 of the cover 7 located opposite the wafer 4, while its two free ends 12 and 13 extend inside the module 2, on either side of the rod 1.

  • the dimensions of the grooves 14 to 16 are adapted to those of the free ends 12 and 13 of the spring 10 so that, when the rod (shown here in its neutral position) is moved in its pulled positions, the ends 12 and 13 of the spring 10 move apart by sliding on the beads 17 or 18 before closing on one of the grooves 15 or 16 of the rod 1.
  • the plate 4 carries two connection pads 19 and 20 arranged on the side and other of the rod 1, each housed by a foot (not shown) passing through a opening in the second layer 6 and extending in the first layer 5, to ensure both the mechanical maintenance of the corresponding stud and its connection electric power source.

  • a third frustoconical portion 37 of slope opposite to that of the first portion 35 relative to the X axis, connects the second cylindrical portion 36 to a fourth portion 38, also cylindrical of section S2 smaller than S1.
  • first and third portions frustoconical 35 and 37 have angles similar to those of the tongues 31 to 34, relative to the axis X of the rod 1.

  • the rod has been shown in its "position of rest "in FIG. 2, that is to say in a neutral position in which typically it does not fulfill any particular function. It is also likely to be moved in 3 additional axial positions, including two “pulled positions” stable and an unstable "pushed position".
  • the this control device comprises means described above and the operation makes it possible to determine at all times in which position is placed the rod 1.

  • Spring 10 is is then under tension and tends to return the rod to its neutral position, by elastic action of the free ends 12 and 13 on the frustoconical portion 40 of the sleeve 39.
  • the extension 27 When the rod 1 is in the pushed position, the extension 27 is supported on the cylindrical portion 38, due to its return force. Therefore, the tongue 31, integral with the extension 27, has undergone the same movement in the direction of the rod and is supported on the connection pad 19. Thus, the contact flange 21 is brought to the potential of the terminal of the electric power source connected to the first layer 5 of the wafer 4, the contact flange 22 remaining insulated. This potential electric is then transmitted to the electronic circuits of the device via the end 25 of the contact flange 21.
  • the extension 27 is still supported on the portion 36 while the extension 28 is no longer in look of the rod 1.
  • the extension 28 folds down towards the axis of the rod because of its restoring force, until the tongue 33 comes to bear against the stud connection 20.
  • the contact flange 22 is therefore brought to the potential of the terminal of the electrical power source, via the stud connection 20 and the first layer 5 of the plate 4, while the flange contact 21 remains isolated from the electrical point of view. So this electrical potential is transmitted to the electronic circuits of the device via the end 26 of the flange of contact 22.
  • the contact flange 28 does not undergo any modification of its state with respect to the first position taken from the rod. Indeed, as described previously in the first pulled position, the tongue 33 is in fixed support on the connection pad 20 while the extension 28 is no longer in contact with the rod.
  • the contact flanges 21 and 22 are simultaneously brought to the potential of the terminal of the power source and transmit this potential to two different inputs (not shown) of the circuits device electronics through their respective ends 25 and 26.
  • the respective states of the contact flanges 21 and 22 can be presented in a table as a function of the axial position of the rod 1, symbolizing the isolated state of a flange by 0 and its state when it is connected. to the power source by 1.

  • extension When the rod is moved from its first axial position pulled towards its second position pulled, extension simply slides along the cylindrical portion 52 maintaining the electrical contact of the tongue 33 with the connection pad 20. At the same time, the contact flange 21 is deformed following the passage of the extension 27 from the first cylindrical portion 50 to the cylindrical portion 52 larger section. Consequently, the tongue 31 is brought into contact with the connection pad 19. Thus, in the second axial position drawn from the rod, the two contact flanges 21 and 22 make electrical contact, respectively with the connection pads 19 and 20.
  • connection pads 19 and 20 should be arranged further from the axis of the rod than the tongues 31 and 33, so that contact is established when the extensions 27 and 28 are distant from the axis of the rod.
