Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Umschalter zum Schalten von zwei Stromkreisen.The invention relates to a switch for switching two circuits.

Solche Umschalter können insbesondere bei Kraftfahrzeugen eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise als Schließer-/Öffner-Wechsel oder Doppelschalter. Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Konstruktionen sind jedoch vergleichsweise aufwendig.Such switches can be used in particular in motor vehicles, for example as NO / NC change or double switch. However, the known from the prior art constructions are relatively expensive.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen Umschalter zu schaffen, der sich durch besonders geringe Herstellungskosten, Redundanz und Zuverlässigkeit sowie die Möglichkeit auszeichnet, zwei unabhängige Schaltkreise gleichzeitig derart zu schalten, daß mindestens ein Kontaktpaar schließt und ein Kontaktpaar gleichzeitig öffnet.The object of the invention is to provide a switch, which is characterized by particularly low manufacturing costs, redundancy and reliability and the ability to simultaneously switch two independent circuits such that at least one contact pair closes and opens a pair of contacts simultaneously.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß ein Umschalter zum Schalten von zwei Stromkreisen vorgesehen, mit einem Gehäuse, einem Stößel, zwei Kontakten eines ersten Stromkreises, zwei Kontakten eines zweiten Stromkreises und einem Schaltkontakt, der im Ausgangszustand eine erste Form aufweist, in welcher der erste Stromkreis geschlossen ist und der zweite Stromkreis geöffnet ist, und durch Betätigung des Stößels in eine zweite Form gebracht werden kann, in welcher der erste Stromkreis geöffnet und der zweite Stromkreis geschlossen ist. Der erfindungsgemäße Umschalter basiert auf dem Grundgedanken, mit ein und demselben Schaltkontakt zwei verschiedene Stromkreise zu schalten und den Übergang des Schaltkontaktes von einer ersten Form in eine zweite Form dazu zu nutzen, die Kontakte eines ersten Stromkreises zu schließen und die Kontakte eines zweiten Stromkreises zu öffnen. Da lediglich ein einziger Schaltkontakt hierfür erforderlich ist, ergibt sich ein einfacher Aufbau, der geringe Herstellungskosten nach sich zieht.To achieve this object, a switch for switching two circuits is provided according to the invention, comprising a housing, a plunger, two contacts of a first circuit, two contacts of a second circuit and a switching contact having a first shape in the initial state, in which the first circuit is closed and the second circuit is opened, and can be brought by actuation of the plunger in a second form in which the first circuit is opened and the second circuit is closed. The switch according to the invention is based on the idea, with a and to switch the same switching contact two different circuits and to use the transition of the switching contact from a first mold into a second mold to close the contacts of a first circuit and to open the contacts of a second circuit. Since only a single switching contact is required for this, results in a simple structure that pulls low production costs.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist ein Umschalter 10 zu sehen, der ein Gehäuse 12 aufweist, in welchem vier zu schaltende Kontakte 1, 2, 3 und 4 aufgenommen sind. Im Gehäuse 12 ist ein Stößel 14 verschiebbar angebracht. Der Stößel 14 wirkt mit einem Schaltkontakt 16 zusammen, der den elektrischen Kontakt zwischen den beiden Kontakten 1, 2, die einen ersten Stromkreis bilden, und den beiden Kontakten 3, 4, die einen zweiten Stromkreis bilden, öffnen oder schließen kann.FIGS. 1 and 2 show a change-over switch 10 which has a housing 12 in which four contacts 1, 2, 3 and 4 to be switched are accommodated. In the housing 12, a plunger 14 is slidably mounted. The plunger 14 cooperates with a switching contact 16, which can open or close the electrical contact between the two contacts 1, 2, which form a first circuit, and the two contacts 3, 4, which form a second circuit.

Der Schaltkontakt 16 besteht aus Federblech oder einem anderen elastisch federnden und elektrisch leitenden Material und hat eine allgemein rechteckige Grundform (siehe Figur 3). Betrachtet in einer Ebene, welche die Kontakte 3 und 4 enthält (Darstellung der Figuren 1 und 5) ist der Schaltkontakt 16 im Ausgangszustand zum Stößel 14 hin gewölbt; er hat die Form einer Schnappfeder. An den kurzen Seitenrändem des allgemein rechteckigen Grundkörpers des Schaltkontaktes 16 sind Haltelaschen 18 vorgesehen, mittels denen der Schaltkontakt am Gehäuse 12 angebracht ist. Jeweils zwischen zwei benachbarten Haltelaschen 18 erstreckt sich nach außen jeweils eine Kontaktlasche 20, die hier aus jeweils 3 Einzellaschen gebildet ist (siehe Figur 3). In der in den Figuren 1 und 5 gezeigten Ausgangsstellung, also bei nicht betätigtem Stößel 14, liegen die Kontaktlaschen 20 an den Kontakten 3 und 4 an; der Stromkreis durch die Kontakte 3 und 4 ist also geschlossen (siehe auch Figur 4). In einer durch die Kontakte 1 und 2 führenden Ebene (siehe die Figuren 2 und 6) hat der Schaltkontakt 16 eine etwa ebene Form. Ausgehend von den längeren Seitenrändern des rechteckigen Grundkörpers des Schaltkontakts 16 erstrecken sich Kontaktlaschen 22, die den beiden ersten Kontakten 1, 2 zugeordnet sind und ebenfalls aus mehreren Einzellaschen bestehen. Im Ausgangszustand, also bei nicht betätigtem Stößel 14, befinden sich die Kontaktlaschen 22 im Abstand von den ersten Kontakten 1, 2; der von diesen Kontakten gebildete erste Stromkreis ist also geöffnet.The switching contact 16 is made of spring steel sheet or other elastically resilient and electrically conductive material and has a generally rectangular basic shape (see Figure 3). Considered in a plane containing the contacts 3 and 4 (view of Figures 1 and 5), the switching contact 16 is curved in the initial state to the plunger 14 out; it has the form of a snap spring. At the short side edges of the generally rectangular body of the switching contact 16 retaining tabs 18 are provided by means of which the switching contact is mounted on the housing 12. In each case between two adjacent retaining tabs 18 extends outwardly in each case a contact tab 20, which is formed here in each case 3 individual tabs (see Figure 3). In the initial position shown in Figures 1 and 5, ie not actuated plunger 14, the contact tabs 20 are located on the contacts 3 and 4; the circuit through the contacts 3 and 4 is thus closed (see also Figure 4). In a through the contacts 1 and 2 leading level (see Figures 2 and 6), the switching contact 16 has an approximately planar shape. Starting from the longer side edges of the rectangular main body of the switching contact 16 contact tabs 22 which are associated with the two first contacts 1, 2 and also consist of several individual tabs. In the initial state, that is, when the plunger 14 is not actuated, the contact tabs 22 are at a distance from the first contacts 1, 2; the first circuit formed by these contacts is thus open.

Wenn der Stößel 14 betätigt wird, drückt er auf die Mitte des bogenförmigen Schaltkontakts 16. Dieser wird aus seiner ersten Form, die in den Figuren 5 und 6 mit durchgezogenen Linien gezeigt ist, in eine zweite Form überführt, die in den Figuren 5 und 6 gestrichelt gezeigt ist. In der die Kontakte 3, 4 enthaltenden Ebene schnappt der Schaltkontakt 16, entgegen der von den Haltelaschen 18 wirkenden Haltekraft, über einen Totpunkt hinweg nach unten, so daß die Kontaktlaschen 20 von den Kontakten 3, 4 abgehoben werden; der von diesen Kontakten gebildete zweite Stromkreis wird somit geöffnet (siehe den in Figur 5 gestrichelt gezeigten Zustand des Schaltkontakts 16). Gleichzeitig wird der Schaltkontakt 16 in der die Kontakte 1, 2 enthaltenden Ebene im wesentlichen translatorisch nach unten verstellt, so daß die Kontaktlaschen 22 auf den Kontakten 1, 2 aufliegen; der von diesen gebildete erste Stromkreis wird somit geschlossen.When the plunger 14 is actuated, it presses on the center of the arcuate switching contact 16. This is converted from its first shape, which is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 with solid lines, into a second shape, which is shown in FIGS Figures 5 and 6 is shown in dashed lines. In the plane containing the contacts 3, 4, the switching contact 16, against the retaining force acting from the retaining tabs 18, snaps over a dead center down, so that the contact tabs 20 are lifted from the contacts 3, 4; the second circuit formed by these contacts is thus opened (see the state of the switching contact 16 shown in dashed lines in FIG. 5). At the same time, the switching contact 16 in the contacts 1, 2 containing plane is displaced substantially translationally down, so that the contact tabs 22 rest on the contacts 1, 2; the first circuit formed by these is thus closed.

Wenn der Stößel 14 wieder freigegeben wird, schnappt der Schaltkontakt 16 wieder zurück in seine erste Form, in welcher der von den Kontakten 1, 2 gebildete erste Stromkreis geöffnet und der von den Kontakten 3, 4 gebildete zweite Stromkreis geschlossen ist.When the plunger 14 is released again, the switching contact 16 snaps back into its first form, in which the first circuit formed by the contacts 1, 2 is opened and the second circuit formed by the contacts 3, 4 is closed.

In Figur 8 ist eine Ausführungsvariante dargestellt, die sich durch die abweichende Ausgestaltung der Kontaktlaschen 20, 22 von der ersten Ausführungsform unterscheidet. Für die Kontakte 1, 2 werden jeweils zwei einander gegenüberliegende Kontaktlaschen 22 verwendet, die hier aus jeweils vier Einzellaschen gebildet sind. Für die Kontakte 3, 4 werden jeweils zwei Kontaktlaschen 20 verwendet, die auf der einen und der anderen Seite der jeweiligen Haltelasche 18 liegen. Jede Kontaktlasche 20 besteht wiederum aus mehreren Einzellaschen. Auf diese Weise ergibt sich eine größere Kontaktsicherheit bei der Kontaktierung.FIG. 8 shows a variant embodiment which differs from the first embodiment due to the deviating configuration of the contact lugs 20, 22. For the contacts 1, 2 each two opposing contact tabs 22 are used, which are each formed here of four individual tabs. For the contacts 3, 4 each two contact tabs 20 are used, which lie on one side and the other side of the respective retaining tab 18. Each contact tab 20 in turn consists of several individual tabs. In this way, a greater contact reliability results in the contact.

In den Figuren 9 und 10 ist ein Umschalter gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform gezeigt. Dieser unterscheidet sich von dem Umschalter gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform dadurch, daß unterhalb des Schaltkontaktes 16 ein zweiter Schaltkontakt 16' angeordnet ist. Hinsichtlich seiner Form und seiner Funktion entspricht der zweite Schaltkontakt 16' dem ersten Schaltkontakt 16 mit dem Unterschied, daß der zweite Schaltkontakt 16' verkleinert ausgeführt ist, so daß er unter den Schaltkontakt 16 paßt. Er wird betätigt durch einen am Stößel 14 ausgebildeten Fortsatz 30, der sich durch den Schaltkontakt 16 hindurch erstreckt und am zweiten Schaltkontakt 16' angreift. Auf diese Weise kann gleichzeitig die doppelte Anzahl von Kontakten geschaltet werden.FIGS. 9 and 10 show a changeover switch according to a second embodiment. This differs from the switch according to the first embodiment in that below the switching contact 16, a second switching contact 16 'is arranged. With regard to its shape and its function, the second switching contact 16 'corresponds to the first switching contact 16 with the difference that the second switching contact 16' is made smaller, so that it fits under the switching contact 16. It is actuated by an extension 30 formed on the plunger 14, which extends through the switching contact 16 and on the second switching contact 16 'attacks. In this way, twice the number of contacts can be switched at the same time.
