Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Scharnierschalter, insbesondere für Türen und Klappen, umfassend einen ersten Scharnierflügel mit einem über einen Stößel betätigbaren Kontaktschalter, einen zweiten Scharnierflügel, der mit dem ersten Scharnierflügel gelenkig verbunden ist, wobei eine mit dem zweiten Scharnierflügel verdrehsicher verbundene Schaltwelle vorgesehen ist, die mit dem Stößel zusammenwirkt und gegenüber diesem sowie dem ersten Scharnierflügel frei verschwenkbar ist, wobei die relative Stellung der Schaltwelle zu dem zweiten Scharnierflügel einen Schaltwinkel definiert.The invention relates to a hinge switch, in particular for doors and flaps, comprising a first hinge wing with an actuatable via a plunger contact switch, a second hinge wing, which is pivotally connected to the first hinge wing, wherein a rotationally connected to the second hinge wing connected switching shaft is provided , which cooperates with the plunger and with respect to this and the first hinge wing is freely pivotable, wherein the relative position of the switching shaft to the second hinge wing defines a switching angle.

Ein Scharnierschalter der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der EP-A-304 241 bekannt. Dabei ist der Schaltwinkel durch Verdrehen der Schaltwelle mit einem speziellen Schlüssel einstellbar, wozu zuvor eine die Schaltwelle klemmende Schraube gelöst sein muss, die nach erfolgter Justierung wieder anzuziehen ist. Die Schaltwelle ist als ein die Scharnierflügel miteinander verbindender Bolzen ausgebildet. Des Weiteren ist anzumerken, dass insbesondere bei schweren bzw. großen Türen eine Justierung des Bolzens zur Einstellung des Schaltwinkels schwierig sein wird, da der Bolzen mit Schaltnut in den Achsschenkeln gedreht werden muss. Hierbei tritt eine sehr große Flächenpressung zwischen Bolzen und den Achsschenkeln der jeweiligen Scharnierhälften auf. Je nach Spiel in den Achsschenkeln kann es auch zu einem Verkanten zwischen Bolzen und Bohrung im Achsschenkel kommen. Auch ist das Scharnier nach EP-A-0 304 241 sehr wartungsanfällig, da es durch nicht fachgerechte Schmierung des Bolzens mit dem Achsschenkel zu einem Festsetzen zwischen Welle und Achsschenkel kommen kann, was zu einem Abscheren der Klemmschraube führen kann, wodurch sich der Schaltwinkel verstellt.A hinge switch of the type mentioned is from the EP-A-304 241 known. In this case, the switching angle is adjustable by turning the control shaft with a special key, for which purpose a be the shift shaft clamping screw must be solved, which is to put on again after adjustment. The switching shaft is formed as a hinge wings connecting the bolt together. Furthermore, it should be noted that, especially for heavy or large doors adjustment of the bolt for adjusting the switching angle will be difficult, since the bolt must be rotated with shift groove in the stub axles. Here occurs a very large surface pressure between the bolt and the stub axles of the respective hinge halves. Depending on the game in the stub axles, it can also lead to tilting between the pin and hole in the steering knuckle. Also, the hinge is behind EP-A-0 304 241 very maintenance-prone, as it may come from improper lubrication of the bolt with the steering knuckle to a setting between the shaft and stub axle, which can lead to a shearing of the clamping screw, causing the shift angle adjusted.

Die GB-A-2 150 757 bezieht sich auf einen Scharnierschalter mit einem ersten Scharnierflügel und einem zweiten Scharnierflügel, die gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind, wobei koaxial zu einem die Scharnierflügel miteinander verbindenden Bolzen Schaltelemente vorgesehen sind, bestehend aus einem ersten Schaltkontakt und einem zweiten Schaltkontakt, wobei ein Schaltwinkel des Schaltelementes über Verdrehen eines Schaltkontaktes mittels eines Getriebes einstellbar ist.The GB-A-2 150 757 refers to a hinge switch with a first hinge wing and a second hinge wing, which are hingedly connected to each other, wherein coaxially to a hinge wings interconnecting bolts switching elements are provided, consisting of a first switching contact and a second switching contact, wherein a switching angle of the switching element via rotation a switching contact by means of a transmission is adjustable.

Ein weiterer Scharnierschalter ist in der EP-B-1 239 496 beschrieben. Dieser umfasst einen ersten, einen über einen Hebel betätigbaren Schalter aufnehmenden Scharnierflügel, einen zweiten Scharnierflügel und eine Welle, welche in Betriebsstellung verdrehsicher mit dem zweiten Scharnierflügel verbunden ist und an ihrem Umfang eine in Wellen-Achsrichtung verlaufende Schaltnut aufweist, in welche in einer vorbestimmten Schwenkstellung zwischen den beiden Scharnierflügeln ein mit dem Hebel verbundener Betätigungsstift eintaucht, wobei der Hebel parallel zur Wellen-Längsachse verläuft und gegenüber dieser verschwenkbar sowie durch eine Feder in Richtung der Welle belastet ist und im Bereich eines Schaltnockens oder Schaltstiftes des Schalters liegt.Another hinge switch is in the EP-B-1 239 496 described. This comprises a first, a lever operable via a switch receiving hinge wing, a second hinge wing and a shaft which is rotationally connected in the operating position with the second hinge wing and at its periphery has a running in the shaft axis shift groove, in which in a predetermined pivot position between the two hinge wings an operating pin connected to the lever is immersed, wherein the lever is parallel to the shaft longitudinal axis and with respect to this pivotable and loaded by a spring in the direction of the shaft and is in the range of a switching cam or switch pin of the switch.

Der Scharnierschalter der bekannten Art zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass dieser in einer Vormontagestellung, in welcher der Betätigungsstift in die Schaltnuten eingreift, gegenüber dem ersten Scharnierflügel gegen Verdrehung gesichert und der zweite Scharnierflügel gegenüber der Welle frei verschwenkbar ist, wobei die Welle durch eine in ein stirnseitiges Ende des ersten Scharnierflügels eingedrehte Einpassschraube um ein vorbestimmtes Maß aus der Vormontagestellung heraus bis in die Betriebsstellung axial verschiebbar ist und wobei die Welle mit einer gerändelten oder anderweitig strukturierten Ringzone versehen ist, die bei in Betriebsstellung verschobener Welle in einer Scharnierbohrung des zweiten Scharnierflügels zur Erzielung der Verdrehsicherung zwischen dem zweiten Scharnierflügel und der Welle formschlüssig angepresst ist.The hinge switch of the known type is characterized in that it is secured in a pre-assembly in which the actuating pin engages in the switching grooves against the first hinge wing against rotation and the second hinge wing against the shaft is freely pivoted, the shaft by a in one front end of the first hinge wing screwed fitting screw is axially displaceable by a predetermined amount from the pre-assembly up to the operating position and wherein the shaft is provided with a knurled or otherwise structured annular zone, in the operating position shifted shaft in a hinge hole of the second hinge wing to achieve the rotation between the second hinge wing and the shaft is pressed form-fitting manner.

Es wird somit ein einstellbarer Scharnierschalter zur Verfügung gestellt, wobei die Einstellung, sofern diese einmal durchgeführt ist, aufgrund der nicht lösbaren Verbindung, d. h. der formschlüssigen Einpassung der Welle in den zweiten Scharnierflügel nicht mehr lösbar ist, so dass beispielsweise Nachjustierungen bzw. ein Wiederverwenden des Scharnierschalters mit unterschiedlichen Schaltwinkeln nicht möglich ist.There is thus provided an adjustable hinge switch, the setting, if this is done once, due to the non-detachable connection, ie the positive fit of the shaft in the second hinge wing not is more solvable, so that, for example, readjustments or reuse of the hinge switch with different switching angles is not possible.

Davon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen einstellbaren Scharnierschalter der oben genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass der Schaltwinkel der Schaltwelle auf einfache Art und Weise wiederholt beliebig oft einstellbar ist.Based on this, the present invention, the object of developing an adjustable hinge switch of the type mentioned above such that the switching angle of the shift shaft in a simple manner repeatedly as often as is adjustable.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß u. a. dadurch gelöst, dass der Schaltwinkel durch Verdrehen der Schaltwelle mittels eines als Schneckengetriebe ausgebildeten selbsthemmenden Getriebes einstellbar ist, dass das Schneckengetriebe eine in ein Schneckenrad eingreifende Schnecke umfasst, wobei die Schnecke in einem fest mit dem zweiten Scharnierflügel verbundenen Schneckengehäuse drehbar ist, dass das Schneckenrad koaxial zu einem die ersten und zweiten Scharnierflügel verbindenden Bolzen verläuft und dass die Schaltwelle fest mit dem Schneckenrad verbunden und koaxial zu dem Bolzen angeordnet ist.The object is u. a. achieved in that the switching angle is adjustable by turning the switching shaft by means of a self-locking gear designed as a worm gear, that the worm gear comprises a worm engaging in a worm wheel, wherein the worm is rotatable in a fixedly connected to the second hinge wing screw housing, that the worm wheel coaxial to a bolt connecting the first and second hinge wings and that the shift shaft is fixedly connected to the worm wheel and arranged coaxially with the bolt.

Die Selbsthemmung wird erreicht, indem ein Zähneverhältnis im Bereich von 1 : 40 vorgesehen ist.Self-locking is achieved by providing a teeth ratio in the range of 1:40.

Um zu verhindern, dass das Getriebe unbeabsichtigt nach Inbetriebnahme verstellt wird, ist vorgesehen, dass das selbsthemmende Getriebe verschließbar ausgebildet ist. In bevorzugter Ausführungsform wird nach Montage und Einstellung des Schaltwinkels ein Verschluss wie Konturstopfen in die Schnecke und/oder das die Schnecke aufnehmende Schneckengehäuse eingebracht wie eingeschlagen.In order to prevent the transmission from being inadvertently adjusted after commissioning, it is provided that the self-locking gear is designed to be lockable. In a preferred embodiment, after the assembly and adjustment of the switching angle, a closure such as contour stopper is introduced into the worm and / or the worm housing receiving the worm as hammered.

Besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass der Verschluss mit einem Einstellschlüssel verbunden bzw. an diesem angeformt ist und nach dem Einsetzen insbesondere Einschlagen von dem Einstellschlüssel abtrennbar, insbesondere abknickbar ist.Particularly preferably, it is provided that the closure is connected to an adjustment key or molded onto it and, in particular after being inserted, can be separated from the adjustment key, in particular bent off.

Es ist vorgesehen, dass das Schneckenrad in einer senkrecht zu der Längsachse des Drehbandes sich erstreckenden Ebene verläuft, wobei die von dem Schneckenrad ausgehende Schaltwelle mit Schaltkurve sich koaxial zu dem die Scharnierflügel verbindenden Bolzen erstreckt.It is envisaged that the worm wheel extends in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rotating belt extending plane, wherein the outgoing from the worm wheel Switching shaft with switching cam extends coaxially with the bolt connecting the hinge wings.

Weitere Einzelheiten, Vorteile und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich nicht nur aus den Ansprüchen, den diesen zu entnehmenden Merkmalen -für sich und/oder in Kombination-, sondern auch aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von der Zeichnung zu entnehmenden bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispielen.Further details, advantages and features of the invention will become apparent not only from the claims, the features to be taken from them-alone and / or in combination-but also from the following description of preferred embodiments to be taken from the drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung einen Scharnierschalter 10 mit einem ersten Scharnierflügel 12 mit zwei äußeren Gelenkösen 14, 16 und einem zweiten Scharnierflügel 18 mit inneren Gelenkösen 20, 22, die über die Gelenkösen 14, 16, 20, 22 durch einen Bolzen 24 gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind.Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a hinge switch 10 with a first hinge wing 12 with two outer hinge eyes 14, 16 and a second hinge wing 18 with inner hinge eyes 20, 22, via the hinge eyes 14, 16, 20, 22 articulated by a bolt 24 connected to each other.

In dem ersten Scharnierflügel 12 ist zumindest ein Kontaktelement 26 mit einem Betätiger 28 angeordnet, der über einen Stößel 30 mit einer Schaltwelle 32 zusammenwirkt. Dabei ist die Schaltwelle 32 koaxial zu dem Bolzen 24 angeordnet und durch diesen gelagert. Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Schaltwelle 32 zur Einstellung eines Schaltwinkels mittels eines selbsthemmenden Getriebes 34 relativ zu dem zweiten Scharnierflügel 18 einstellbar ist. Eine Oberfläche 36 der Schaltwelle ist als Schaltkurve ausgebildet, die in Abhängigkeit einer Winkelstellung zwischen den Scharnierflügeln 12, 18 zumindest zeitweise an einer Innenfläche 38 eines im Wesentlichen sichelförmig ausgebildeten Stößelelementes 30.1 anliegt. Durch die Einstellung der Schaltwelle 30 wird somit der Schaltwinkel des Scharnierschalters 10 beeinflusst.In the first hinge wing 12 at least one contact element 26 is arranged with an actuator 28 which cooperates via a plunger 30 with a switching shaft 32. In this case, the shift shaft 32 is arranged coaxially to the bolt 24 and supported by this. According to the invention it is provided that the switching shaft 32 is adjustable relative to the second hinge wing 18 for setting a switching angle by means of a self-locking gear 34. A surface 36 of the switching shaft is a switching curve formed, which abuts in response to an angular position between the hinge wings 12, 18 at least temporarily on an inner surface 38 of a substantially crescent-shaped plunger element 30.1. By adjusting the switching shaft 30 thus the switching angle of the hinge switch 10 is influenced.

Das selbsthemmende Getriebe 34 umfasst ein Schneckenrad 40, welches über eine in einem Schneckengehäuse 42 drehbar angeordneten Schnecke 44 einstellbar ist. Dabei ist das Schneckengehäuse 42 fest mit dem zweiten Scharnierflügel 18 verbunden. Das Schneckengetriebe 34 ist selbsthemmend ausgelegt, was mittels eines Zähneverhältnisses von beispielsweise 1/40 erreicht wird.The self-locking gear 34 comprises a worm wheel 40 which is adjustable via a worm 44 rotatably mounted in a worm housing 42. In this case, the screw housing 42 is fixedly connected to the second hinge wing 18. The worm gear 34 is designed to be self-locking, which is achieved by means of a tooth ratio of, for example 1/40.

Durch Verdrehen der Schnecke 44 erfolgt eine Verdrehung des Schneckenrades 40 relativ zu dem zweiten Scharnierflügel 18 und damit der Schaltwelle 32, die fest mit dem Schneckenrad 40 verbunden ist. Die Verdrehung kann mittels eines Einstellschlüssels 46 ausgeführt werden, der ein in die Schnecke 44 stirnseitig eingreifendes Sonderprofil 48 aufweist, um die Schnecke 44 zu verdrehen. Zusätzlich wird nach der Montage und Einstellung des Schaltwinkels vor Ort ein Verschlusselement 50 in eine stirnseitige Öff nung 52 des Schneckengehäuses 42 eingesetzt wie eingeschlagen, wodurch der Einstell- bzw. Schaltwinkel manipuliersicher ist. Das Verschlusselement 50, welches vorzugsweise als Konturstopfen ausgebildet ist, ist mit dem Einstellschlüssel 46 verbunden und wird nach dem Einschlagen von dem Einstellschlüssel 46 durch Abknicken getrennt.By rotating the worm 44, a rotation of the worm wheel 40 takes place relative to the second hinge wing 18 and thus the switching shaft 32 which is fixedly connected to the worm wheel 40. The rotation can be carried out by means of an adjusting key 46, which has a special profile 48 engaging in the worm 44 at the front, in order to rotate the worm 44. In addition, after the assembly and adjustment of the switching angle on site, a closure element 50 in an end-side Publ tion 52 of the screw housing 42 is used as taken, whereby the setting or switching angle is manipulation-proof. The closure element 50, which is preferably designed as a contour plug, is connected to the adjustment key 46 and is separated after being knocked by the adjustment key 46 by kinking.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung des Scharnierschalters 10, wobei der zweite Scharnierflügel 18 um ca. 20° nach rechts gedreht ist.

Also in this state are plunger 30 and shift shaft 36 in the idle state.

Fig. 3 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung des Scharnierschalters 10 in einer Stellung, in der der Stößel 30 betätigt ist und auf das Betätigungselement 28 des Schaltkontaktes 26 einwirkt. In dieser Stellung liegt die Fläche 36 der Schaltwelle 32 an der Innenseite 38 des Stößels 30 an, wodurch eine Verschiebung des Stößels 30 bewirkt wird. Solange die Flächen 38 und 36 aneinander anliegen, bleibt der Stößel 30 in der betätigten, d. h. gedrückten Position. Fig. 3 zeigt ebenfalls das mittels des Verschlusses 48 verschlossene Schneckengehäuse 42 zum manipuliersicheren Verschließen der Schnecke 44.Fig. 3 shows a perspective view of the hinge switch 10 in a position in which the plunger 30 is actuated and acts on the actuating element 28 of the switching contact 26. In this position, the surface 36 of the switching shaft 32 abuts the inner side 38 of the plunger 30, whereby a displacement of the plunger 30 is effected. As long as the surfaces 38 and 36 abut each other, the plunger 30 remains actuated in the, ie pressed position. 3 likewise shows the screw housing 42 closed by means of the closure 48 for tamper-proof closing of the screw 44.
