  • toggle switches in which the tilting or rotational movement a rocker switch in a linear motion to close one or more electrical contacts is implemented.
  • the object of the invention is to present a cost-effective toggle switch, which ensures a safe switching action.
  • a guide plate with at least one receptacle in which at least one Actuating plunger is guided linearly displaceable, wherein the arm of the rocker switch can transmit a force to the actuating tappet, and a switch unit, on which the actuating tappet can act to make an electrical contact close it is provided that the guide plate and the actuating plunger each have a breaking edge along which they are prior to assembly of the Toggle switch were integrally connected.
  • two webs per actuating tappet are preferred intended.
  • the actuating tappets. So are in a projection into the Level of the guide plate already arranged in its desired position. at A force acting in the direction of recording, they are automatically correct positioned. Such a unit can be easily in an injection molding process finished.
  • the inclusion of the guide plate advantageously has in the region of the web Recess, which is designed so that residues of the web not with a wall come in contact with the recording.
  • the actuating plunger in Region of the web have a recess which is formed so that residues of the bridge do not come into contact with the actuating plunger. This will ensures that the remains of the bridge the movement of the actuating plunger in not hinder the recording.
  • through the wall of the recording be provided outside the recess an almost play-free leadership.
  • a latching element be provided after the pressing of the actuating plunger in the Recording forms an end stop for the lower end of the actuating plunger and thus secures the actuating tappet against falling out of the guide plate.
  • a plurality of actuating tappets are provided which in corresponding Shooting arranged and a corresponding number of switch units assigned.
  • a connecting element be provided, the actuating tappet at the upper end with each other combines.
  • the upper end of the actuating plunger is rounded, and the connecting element rests on the upper ends. So can the connecting element perform a tilting movement with which the height differences between a depressed and an unconfirmed position located actuating tappet be balanced.
  • This can be e.g. a two- or four-stage toggle switch for an electrical Realize window lift of a vehicle. With a tilting movement in two directions can be e.g. respond to four switching stages.
  • For a four-step Switch has the rocker preferably two arms. Each of the two arms can then, e.g. over one or more fasteners that are on the top The ends of the actuating tappets rest, depress two actuating tappets and thus realize two switching states.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a toggle switch.
  • the guide plate and the actuating plunger are integral manufactured together, and the actuating plunger is by a force pressed into the receptacle of the guide plate and in this case of the guide plate solved.
  • the guide plate and the actuating plunger are integrally in an injection molding process made of a suitable plastic.
  • FIG 1 shows a toggle switch 10 with a switch button 12, which with a two-armed rocker 14 is connected.
  • the rocker 14 is about an axis 16 tiltable in two directions, which is illustrated by the two arrows in Figure 1 is. This tilting movement is, as described below, in one linear movement in a switching direction z implemented, the closing of a or more electrical contacts.
  • Each of the two arms 18 of the rocker switch 14 lies on a single connecting element 20, which is formed here from a sheet metal.
  • the connecting element 20 in turn lies on rounded upper ends 22 (based on the Switching direction z) of actuating tappets 24.
  • Each actuating tappet 24 is in a receptacle 26 a guide plate 28 out.
  • the shots 26 leave only a linear movement of the actuating plunger 24 in the in Figures 1 and 2 with an arrow designated switching direction z and in the opposite Direction to.
  • On the side remote from the connecting element 20 side are the lower ends of the actuating tappet 24 in contact with switch units, here are formed by switching domes 30 of a conventional switching mat 32.
  • One electrical contact is closed when a switching dome 30 with a contact on its underside a corresponding mating contact at the base of the switching mat 32 touched (not shown).
  • the switching domes 30 are elastic Connections 34 connected to the base of the switching mat 32 and elastic so biased that they are anxious, in the open position shown in Figure 1 to return.
  • the guide plate 28 has a middle planar portion 40 and to the Outer sides in the direction of the switching mat 32 pointing spacer sections 38th
  • the tilting or rotational movement of the switching key 12 is via the connecting element 20 and the actuating tappet 24 which guided in the receptacles 26 are converted into a purely linear movement, so that the switching dome 30 always only be loaded in z-direction.
  • the toggle switch 10 is shown in Figure 1 in an unactuated position. In this is the rocker 14 in equilibrium, so that none of the actuating tappet 24 loaded and deflected from its initial position shown. none the switching dome 30 is depressed, so that all electrical contacts of the Safety mat 32 are open. To prevent rattling, every switching dome is 30, however, biased by about 0.2 mm. Basically slightly biased the rocker 14 and the actuating plunger 24th
  • the toggle switch 10 shown is a four-stage switch as e.g. for one power windows of a vehicle can be used. In this case would only the upper part of the switch button 12 via a cowling 36 of the Vehicle, e.g. a door panel, sticking out.
  • the arms 18 of the rocker 14 are located on the connecting element 20 respectively offset from the middle between two actuating tappets 24, so that the Actuating forces for the two respective associated switching domes 30 different are.
  • About the contact point of the arms 18 on the connecting element 20th can the force required to trigger the various switching states necessary is, set.
  • the rounding at the upper end 22 of the actuating tappet 24 may be adjust the connecting element 20 in its position when one or more of the Actuating plunger 24 for closing the electrical contacts in their recording 26 are pressed into it.
  • the guide plate 28 and the actuating tappet 24 are injection molded manufactured as a one-piece unit. This unit is in FIG. 2 shown.
  • the actuating tappets 24 are at a lower end 42 on two sides via webs 44 formed integrally with them and with the guide plate 28 are, with an upper end 46 of a wall 48 of the receptacle 26 in the guide plate 28 connected.
  • the actuating tappets 24 are acted upon in the z direction by a force and all at the same time pressed into the receptacles 26. This can e.g. by means of done a hand lever press. Here, the webs 44 break at break edges 45, 47. After this operation, the actuating tappets are displaceable in the z direction guided in the receptacles 26, as shown in Figure 3. Each actuating tappet 24 has at its upper end 22 an end stop 50, the prevents the actuating plunger 24 in the z direction too deep into the receptacle 26th slides in.
  • each actuating tappet 24 has at its lower end 42, a latching element (not shown here), after the impressions in the recording 26 at a bottom 52 of the flat portion 38 of the guide plate 28 in Plant comes and a movement of the actuating plunger 24 in the direction of the switching z opposite direction leading to slipping out of the Recording 26 could result prevented.
  • the through the stop 50 and the Locking element specified operating stroke is sufficient for depressing the Switching domes 30.
  • recesses 54, 56 are provided in the region of the webs 44 and at the receptacles 26 in the region of the webs 44 are both on the actuating tappets 24 and at the receptacles 26 recesses 54, 56 are provided. These recesses 54, 56 prevent the breaklines 45, 47 from coming into contact with the actuating tappet 24 or the wall 48 of the receptacle 26 come.
  • the actuating tappets 24 are located with the exception of the recesses 54, 56 on the wall 48 of the receptacles 26 at.
  • each actuating plunger 24 is integrally a pin 60th formed.
  • the pins 60 extend through associated openings in the connector 20 and fasten the connecting element 20 to the actuating tappets 24th
  • each pin is under heat in a mushroom-shaped Head 62 formed, so that the connecting element 20 is not of the Actuator 24 can solve.
  • the distance between the head 62 and the Connecting element 20 is chosen so that a tilting movement of the connecting element 20 with respect to the upper ends 22 of the actuating tappet 24 is possible.
