Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch with an operating rocker, in which a contact element can be actuated by a radial deflection of the operating rocker, the actuation of the contact element being able to be carried out by the operating rocker or by the operating rocker via a transmission element.
  • latching functions are implemented by metallic lever and / or spring elements that trigger a latching and snap mechanism.
  • the object of the present invention is to present a switch with a rocker switch and latching functions with a simpler structure.
  • This object is achieved in that the locking function can be realized by a projection on the operating rocker or the transmission element in cooperation with a resilient element. Because the projection can be inserted into the rocker switch or the transmission element, it is possible to use a switch type to represent both latching and momentary functions, depending on whether the projection is inserted or not.
  • a particularly simple construction of the resilient element is provided in that it is designed as part of a switch mat.
  • the resilient element is particularly functional if it has a wavy and / or sawtooth-shaped structure in cross section. If the projection is designed as a roller, this roller can easily overcome the shaft or saw teeth when operating the operating aid and still holds the switch in the desired position in troughs in the wave-shaped structure or incisions in the saw-tooth structure. If the switch two tabs and two Has contact elements, two circuits can be carried out with a switch. If roles are used as projections, depending on whether the role is inserted or not, a latching or momentary function of the switch can be realized. In the absence of rollers, a switch with two keying functions can be implemented; a switch with a latching and a momentary function can be implemented when using a roller and a switch with two latching functions can be implemented when using both roles. If that
  • Transmission element is designed as a light box, an additional function is realized with a component.
  • Fig. 1 shows the cross section through a particularly preferred switch according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 the supervision of a switching mat shown in FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 the section X from FIG. 1,
  • Fig. 4 shows a partial section through the switch from FIG. 1 in a first latching switching position.
  • the particularly preferred exemplary embodiment of a switch according to the invention has an operating rocker 1, transmission elements in the form of light boxes 2, a switching mat 3, a printed circuit board 4 and a housing 5.
  • the control rocker 1 has lugs la, lb and two projections in the form of rollers 6, 7.
  • the operating rocker 1 can be deflected radially about an axis A.
  • the switch mat 3 has keys 8 with key heads 9, which are connected via key feet 10 to a base plate 11 of the switch mat 2. Between the buttons 8, the switch mat 2 has a resilient element 12 with a surface 13 that is wavy in cross section.
  • the resilient element 12 has a cavity 14 between its underside and the printed circuit board 2.
  • contact elements 15, On the bottom of the Key heads 9 are arranged contact elements 15, which may consist of carbon or conductive rubber, for example.
  • the light boxes 2 lie with their underside on the tops of the key heads 9.
  • Light-emitting diodes 16 and contact surfaces 17a-d are arranged on the printed circuit board 4.
  • the contact surfaces 17a, b and 17c, d are each electrically separated from one another.
  • the rollers 5, 6 are each shown twice: hatched in a position that corresponds to the position in FIG. 1 and not hatched in a position that would correspond to the position if the surface of the rocker switch 1 on the right side would be pressed and so the right button 9 is pressed down and its contact element 15 electrically connects the contact surfaces 17c, d. Because the roller 17 lies in the central valley of the undulating surface 13, the roller 7 and thus the operating rocker maintains their position.
  • FIG. 4 shows the switch from FIG. 1 in a switching position which arises when the left side of the surface of the rocker switch 1 has been pressed beforehand.
  • the roller 6 is locked in the central trough of the undulating surface 13 of the resilient element 12. So presses the rocker switch 1 over the nose la the left light box 2 on the
  • the light-emitting diodes 16 arranged in front of the contact surfaces 17a, b are the better ones
  • roller 6 If one of the rollers 6, 7 is not installed, a switch results which has a latching function on one side and a momentary function on the other side. If, for example, roller 6 is omitted, the switch acts as a push button when the left rocker button is pressed, since roller 7 has no resistance to overcome; when pressing the right side of the rocker switch as a latching switch, the roller 7 in the middle
  • the Control rocker 1 with the rollers 6, 7 a pure latching switch, a pure pushbutton switch or a combined latching / pushbutton switch can be realized.
  • the elasticity of the resilient element 12 can be modified by the choice of material and the design of the element, in particular by its thickness, the depth of the wave troughs and the height of the wave crests to be overcome. The elasticity can also be influenced by changing the cavity 14.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un commutateur comprenant une touche de commande à bascule (1) et au moins un élément de contact (15), qui peut être actionné au moyen d'une déviation radiale de la touche de commande à bascule (1). Cet élément de contact peut être actionné directement par la touche de commande à bascule (1) ou par la touche de commande à bascule (1), mais par l'intermédiaire d'un élément de transmission (2). Selon cette invention, ce commutateur présente une fonction de blocage qui est assurée par une partie en saillie (6, 7) située sur l'élément de transmission (2) ou sur la touche de commande à bascule (1), coopérant avec un élément élastique (12).
