Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung geht aus von einem elektrischen Bedienteil, wie es beispielsweise bereits aus der US 5,557,080 A bekannt ist.The present invention is based on an electrical control unit, as already for example from the US 5,557,080 A is known.

Die DE 44 15 665 A1 beschreibt ein Bedienteil für ein elektrisches Gerät mit einer Frontblende, in der Schalttasten angeordnet sind, die um ein erstes Schwenklager verschwenkbar sind und mit hinter der Frontblende befindlichen Tastenteilen, bei deren Eindrücken hinter der Frontblende angeordnete Schaltpunkte bedient werden. Des weiteren ist zwischen einer Schalttaste und dem Schaltpunkt ein Wandlerhebel vorgesehen, welcher eine Mittlerfunktion ausübt, indem er einen eventuell zu steilen Anstellwinkel der Schalttaste in einen sehr niedrigen Anstellwinkel an der Schaltmatte umwandelt.The DE 44 15 665 A1 describes a control panel for an electrical device with a front panel, are arranged in the switch buttons, which are pivotable about a first pivot bearing and located behind the front panel button parts, are pressed in their pressing behind the front panel switching points. Furthermore, a converter lever is provided between a switching button and the switching point, which exerts a mediator function by converting a possibly too steep angle of attack of the switching button in a very low angle of attack on the switching mat.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Bedienteil ergibt sich durch die Anordnung von Schaltmatten in Kombination mit Zugwippen die Möglichkeit, das Bedienteil mit einfachen technologischen Mitteln herzustellen, wodurch niedrige Werkzeugkosten anfallen und eine einfache und platzsparende Montage möglich ist. Eine Schaltmatte ist bekanntermaßen so aufgebaut, dass in der flächigen Matte elektrische Kontakte, die auch als Schaltmattendome bezeichnet werden, vorgesehen sind, wobei die Bedienung der Schaltmattendome durch einen Druck auf diese Schaltmattendome erfolgt, so dass der elektrische Kontakt geschlossen und die gewünschte Funktion ein- und/oder ausgeschaltet wird. Die Realisierung der Betätigungen der Schaltmattendome durch Zugwippen ermöglicht es einen senkrecht wirkenden Druck auf die Schaltmattendome auszuüben, wodurch eine punktgenaue Betätigung gewährleistet ist. Des Weiteren hat diese Anordnung den Vorteil, dass nur wenig bewegte Teile und keine zusätzlichen Umlenkmechanismen, wie im Stand der Technik beschrieben, notwendig sind. Damit sind die Haptik, die Lebensdauer und die schnellere und prozesssichere Herstellung wesentlich verbessert. Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung liegt darin, dass zwei gleiche Zugwippen in einem engen Abstand gegenüber angeordnet werden können.In the control panel according to the invention results from the arrangement of safety mats in combination with pull-pad the ability to produce the control panel with simple technological means, thereby incurring low tooling costs and a simple and space-saving installation is possible. A switching mat is known to be constructed in such a way that electrical contacts, which are also referred to as switching mat domes, are provided in the flat mat, the operation of the switching mat domes being effected by a pressure on these switching mat domes so that the electrical contact is closed and the desired function is achieved. and / or off. The realization of the actuations of the switching mat dome by pulling rockers makes it possible to exert a vertically acting pressure on the switching mat domes, whereby a pinpoint operation is ensured. Furthermore, this arrangement has the advantage that only a few moving parts and no additional deflection mechanisms, as described in the prior art, are necessary. Thus, the feel, the life and the faster and reliable production are significantly improved. Another advantage of the arrangement according to the invention is that that two identical pull-type rockers can be arranged at a close distance.

Das erfindungsgemäße Bedienteil ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und im Folgenden näher erläutert.The control panel according to the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail below.

Fig. 2
a plan view of the control panel according to the invention.

Fig. 1 zeigt das erfindungsgemäße Bedienteil in Seitenansicht, wobei hier das Zusammenwirken einer Schaltmatte mit zumindest einer zugehörigen Zugwippe 13 erläutert wird. Die Schaltmatte ist im Beispiel mit dem Bezugszeichen 10 versehen. Diese Schaltmatten 10 sind im Stand der Technik hinlänglich bekannt und sollen hier nicht im Einzelnen erläutert werden. Wesentlich jedoch ist, dass diese Schaltmatten Schaltmattendome 11 aufweisen, die die Funktion eines elektrischen Schalters haben. Fig. 1 shows the control panel according to the invention in side view, in which case the interaction of a switching mat is explained with at least one associated Zugwippe 13. The switching mat is provided in the example with the reference numeral 10. These safety mats 10 are well known in the art and will not be explained in detail here. However, it is essential that these switching mats have switching mat domes 11 which have the function of an electrical switch.

In der Figur 1 sind zwei Zugwippen angeordnet, was durch die Bezugszeichen für eine erste Zugwippe 13.1 und für eine zweite Zugwippe 13.2 verdeutlicht ist. Die Anordnung der Zugwippe in ihrer Wirkbeziehung zur Schaltmatte ist unabhängig davon, ob ein oder zwei Zugwippen vorgesehen sind. Jedoch hat sich bei der im Weiteren noch zu erläuternden konstruktiven Gestaltung der Zugwippen der Vorteil ergeben, dass zwei Zugwippen sehr platzsparend zueinander und zur Schaltmatte angeordnet werden können. Im Weiteren wird die Beschreibung der Funktion der Zugwippe der Einfachheit halber jeweils nur auf eine Zugwippe bezogen.In the FIG. 1 two pull rockers are arranged, which is illustrated by the reference numerals for a first pull rocker 13.1 and for a second pull rocker 13.2. The arrangement of the pull-rocker in its operative relationship to the switching mat is independent of whether one or two pull-rockers are provided. However, in the constructive design of the pull-type rockers to be explained below, the advantage has been found that two pull-type rockers can be arranged in a very space-saving manner relative to one another and with respect to the switching mat. In addition, the description of the function of the pull-tab for the sake of simplicity is only related to a pull-rocker.

Die Zugwippen 13 ist in ihrer Längserstreckung parallel zur Schaltmatte 10 angeordnet und so gestaltet, dass ihre Drehachse 14 seitlich verlagert ist. Die Drehachse 14 teilt die Zugwippe in einen Betätigungsarm 15 und einen Schaltarm 16, wobei der Betätigungsarm 15 aufgrund der außermittigen Drehachse 14 länger ist als der Schaltarm 16. Bei der Betätigung des Betätigungsarms 15 in Richtung des dargestellten Pfeils B in der Figur 1 wird der Schaltarm 16 der Zugwippe 13 in Richtung Schaltmattendom 11 bewegt.The Zugwippen 13 is arranged in its longitudinal extent parallel to the switching mat 10 and designed so that its axis of rotation 14 is displaced laterally. The axis of rotation 14 divides the pull rocker into an actuating arm 15 and a switching arm 16, wherein the Actuating arm 15 due to the off-center axis of rotation 14 is longer than the switching arm 16. In the operation of the actuating arm 15 in the direction of the arrow B in the illustrated FIG. 1 the switching arm 16 of the pulling rocker 13 is moved in the direction of switching mat dome 11.

Für eine gezielt Kraftübertragung auf den Schaltmattendom 11 ist zwischen dem Schaltarm 16 und dem Schaltmattendom 11 ein Stößel 12 angeordnet, welcher die Bewegung des Schaltarms 16 als senkrechten Druck auf den Schaltmattendom 11 überträgt.For a targeted power transmission to the switching mat dome 11, a plunger 12 is disposed between the switching arm 16 and the switching mat dome 11, which transmits the movement of the switching arm 16 as a vertical pressure on the switching mat dome 11.

Ein weiteres Merkmal der konstruktiven Gestaltung soll anhand der Fig. 2 erläutert werden, wobei in den Figuren 1 und 2 gleiche Bauteile mit dem gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen sind. Figur 2 zeigt schematisch die Draufsicht auf das elektrische Bedienteil mit seiner Anordnung von zwei Zugwippen 13.1 und 13.2 zu den Kontakten 11 der Schaltmatte 10.
Die Zugwippen sind auf der Seite des Schaltarms 16 gegenüber dem Betätigungsarm 15 verjüngt, was in der Figur 2 gut zu erkennen ist. Damit ist es möglich, zwei Zugwippen 13 so einander gegenüber anzuordnen, dass die beiden Schaltarme dicht nebeneinander liegen, wodurch sich eine platzsparende Anordnung ergibt und außerdem auch dicht beieinander liegende Schaltmattendome 11 einer Schaltmatte 10 gut betätigbar sind.Another feature of the structural design is based on the Fig. 2 be explained, wherein in the Figures 1 and 2 the same components are provided with the same reference numerals. FIG. 2 schematically shows the top view of the electrical control unit with its arrangement of two pull rockers 13.1 and 13.2 to the contacts 11 of the switching mat 10th
The Zugwippen are tapered on the side of the switching arm 16 relative to the actuating arm 15, which in the FIG. 2 easy to recognize. This makes it possible to arrange two pull rockers 13 opposite each other so that the two switching arms are close together, resulting in a space-saving arrangement and also closely spaced switching mat domes 11 a keypad 10 are well actuated.

Der Bereich, in denen die Schaltarme 16 der Zugwippen nebeneinander liegen wird vorteilhafterweise von einer Blende 17, wie in der Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, abgedeckt.The area in which the switching arms 16 of the drawbars are adjacent to each other is advantageously of a diaphragm 17, as in the Fig. 1 is shown covered.

Die Anordnung der Zugwippen mit einer außermittig angeordneten Drehachse ermöglicht eine Betätigung der Schaltmattendome mit nur wenig bewegten Teilen und keinen weiteren zusätzlichen Umlenkmechanismen. Damit kann die Haptik, die Lebensdauer deutlich verbessert werden und es ferner ein positiver Einfluss auf die Toleranzen im System gegeben.The arrangement of the Zugwippen with an eccentrically arranged axis of rotation allows actuation of the Schaltmattendome with only a few moving parts and no additional additional deflection mechanisms. Thus, the feel, the life can be significantly improved and there is also a positive influence on the tolerances in the system.

Die Verwendung des Stempels gewährleistet eine senkrechte Krafteinleitung auf die Schaltmatte sowie ferner eine Abschottung der Elektronik gegen schädliche Umwelteinflüsse.The use of the stamp ensures a vertical force on the safety mat and also a foreclosure of the electronics against harmful environmental influences.
