Definitions

  • the invention relates to a navigation switch with an actuating element which is tiltable at least in two directions, and by which the navigation switch is operable, a housing receiving the actuator, which has a cavity, a switching element, which acts on the actuating element, and a limiting element, which limits the actuating forces on the switching element.
  • Such a switch is known from US 4 349 708, wherein the limitation is effected by a pin formed on the housing, against which a ring-shaped element made of elastic plastic and attached to the foot of the tilted actuating element is pressed.
  • Navigation switches generally have a switch housing with a switching element arranged in the interior of the switch housing, which is movable against at least two contact areas and, when moving, reaches a contact position which switches an electrical contact.
  • the switching element has an axially extending an arranged in the interior of the housing shift lever outwardly guided actuating arm.
  • the actuating arm can be pivoted via a control element, which is located in a switch housing, from a central rest position in several directions.
  • Such navigation switches are known for a variety of applications. They are generally used to control electronic devices of consumer electronics, such. B. in digital cameras, video recorders or cell phones but also used for menu control in electronic data processing devices. In particular, they find use in the reduction of components, if individual components are assigned several functions.
  • the actuating element For actuating the switching element, the actuating element has a plunger located on its underside, so that a mechanical contacting of the actuating arm of the switching element can take place. Upon actuation of the actuating element, the plunger of the actuating element transmits the actuating force to the actuating arm of the switching element, so that it comes into a contact position and switches an electrical contact.
  • the navigation switches described above have no protection against excessive actuation forces at the present time. Improper or excessive actuation of the actuator leads to high actuation force on the actuating arm of the switching element, which can result in destruction of the switching element result. Furthermore, an undefined tilting movement of the actuating element can lead to destruction of the switching element.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a navigation switch is available, in which the switching element is better protected against premature wear and destruction.
  • This navigation switch has the advantage that by the use of a limiting element between the actuating element and the housing receiving the actuator any kind of switching elements can be protected against improper or too strong operation.
  • the limiting element has a centrally provided recess which corresponds to the dimensions of a plunger on the actuating element, the guiding of the actuating element is allowed in tracks and therefore prevents an undefined tilting.
  • Too large actuation forces are introduced via the limiting element into the side walls of the housing receiving the limiting element. It is possible to safely guide the plunger of the actuating element on the actuating arm of the switching element.
  • limiting element is formed integrally with the housing and that the limiting element and the housing are made of an elastomeric plastic.
  • an advantageous embodiment provides that the limiting element is convex to the actuating element and has a lattice-shaped structure.
  • the limiting element may also be formed as a curved disc made of plastic or metal.
  • the limiting element has an axial recess for receiving a plunger located on the underside of the actuating element.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the housing receiving the limiting element encloses a circular cavity, wherein at least two notches in the outer region of the cavity bounding the cavity are formed and that the convex boundary element has at least two further counter-detents, which engage in the matingly provided detents of the housing.
  • the limiting element is inserted into the cavity of the housing, wherein after completion of the mounting the locking element is rotated by 45 degrees clockwise for locking, so that the counter-latches of the limiting element engage in the notches of the housing.
  • actuating forces occurring on the actuating element are introduced via the additional limiting element in the side walls of the housing.
  • the limiting element allows a guide of the actuating element in tracks to prevent undefined tilting.
  • the use of the optionally used limiting element allows an adaptation of the properties regardless of the material of the housing.
  • the life of the Navigation switch or the switching element is positively influenced.
  • FIG. 1 the perspective view of a navigation switch according to the invention is shown.
  • the navigation switch has a switching element 3 with a square base, which is arranged for example on a housing part or a circuit board 4.
  • the Switching element 3 has a leading through a recess in the cover of the switching element 3 actuating arm 31, which serves as an axial extension of a arranged in the interior of the switching element 3, not shown, shift lever.
  • the switching lever arranged centrally in the interior of the switching element 3 is movable against at least two contact areas, so that an electrical contact is switched when moving into a contact position.
  • the navigation switch on a circular actuator 1 with four radially and a centrally disposed switching position.
  • a plunger 11 arranged in the axial direction is provided on the underside of the actuating element 1.
  • the navigation switch further comprises a housing 2 with a circular, the dimensions of the actuating element 1 corresponding cavity 21.
  • the actuating element 1 is received by the housing 2 and the housing 2 is arranged above the switching element 3, so that the plunger 11 of the actuating element 1 engages centrally in the actuating arm 31 of the switching element 3.
  • FIG. 2 shows the plan view of the navigation switch described in FIG. 1 with the actuating element 1 arranged centrally in the housing 2.
  • FIG. 1 The section D-D from FIG. 2 is shown in FIG.
  • the actuating element 1 is to be found in the housing 2, wherein the plunger 11 of the actuating element 1 surrounds the actuating arm 31 of the switching element 3.
  • an integrally formed, convexly disposed to the actuating element 1 limiting element 5 is provided in the bottom area within the cavity 21 of the housing 2, wherein an integrally formed, convexly disposed to the actuating element 1 limiting element 5 is provided.
  • the delimiting element 5 has a central recess 53 which corresponds to the external dimensions of the tappet 11 on the operating element 1. Furthermore, it can be seen that the delimiting element 5 is structured in a lattice-like manner, the delimiting element 5 in the advantageous embodiment shown in FIG. 5 starting from the square rim 51 provided in the middle with the recess in pairs parallel to the transverse and longitudinal axis of the delimiting element 5 has, whose end are integrally formed on the housing.
  • the limiting element 5 is made in one piece with the housing 2 from, for example, an elastomeric plastic.
  • Figures 6 and 7 respectively show the horizontal section AA and the vertical section BB of Figure 5.
  • the convex curved Limiting element is formed in a manufacturing process with the housing.
  • FIG. 8 shows a further advantageous embodiment of the navigation switch according to the invention.
  • a separate limiting element 6 is provided, which is inserted into the bottom of a housing 7.
  • FIG. 9 shows the plan view of the navigation switch described in FIG. 8 with the actuating element 1 arranged centrally in the housing 7.
  • FIGS. 11 to 14 show different perspectives of the housing 7 accommodating the actuating element 1.
  • the housing 7 encloses a circular cavity 71 and, at the bottom, as shown in detail in FIGS. 11 to 14, has four notches arranged radially on the side walls of the cavity 71 72 on.
  • FIGS. 15 to 17 show an embodiment of the delimiting element 6.
  • the delimiting element 6 is designed as a convexly curved disk with four counter-detents 61 arranged at a side edge 62, which are arranged radially equidistant.
  • the limiting element 6 has centrally a recess 63, which corresponds to the dimensions of the plunger 11 of the actuating element 1. In this recess, the plunger 11 of the actuating element 1, so that a safe guiding of the plunger 11 allows and thus an uncontrolled operation of the actuating arm 31 is prevented.
  • the actuator 6 is rotated 45 degrees clockwise, and thus is firmly connected to the housing 7.
  • the underside of the actuating element 1 has a minimum distance d from the upper side 54, 64 (see FIG. 3 and FIG. 10) of the limiting elements 5, 6 located in the housing 2, 7.
  • a force introduction f on the actuator 1 can be done centric or eccentric. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 10, a centric introduction of force f results in that the operating element 1 shifts the actuating arm 31 of the switching element 3 downwards into the switching element 3 by way d.
  • the path l represents a stroke limitation realized by the limiting elements 5 and 6.
  • the limiting element 5 and 6 causes a Kippbegrenzung at an eccentric force due to the distance d of the actuating element 1 to the top 54, 64 of the limiting element 5, 6.
  • too large centric or eccentric force introduction f is a derivative of the pressure force on the actuator 1 in the walls of the housing 2 and 7.
