Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch for switching two circuits, 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.
  • Such switches can be used in particular in motor vehicles, for example as NO / NC change or double switch.
  • the known from the prior art constructions are relatively expensive.
  • a switch which uses an elongated snap-action contact, which is provided at its two ends in each case with a contact point.
  • the switching contact can be brought from a first curved shape to a second curved shape. In the first form, the contact points establish an electrical connection between two first contacts, and in the second form, the same contact points establish the electrical connection between two opposing second contacts.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a switch, which is characterized by particularly low production costs, redundancy and reliability and the ability to switch two independent circuits simultaneously such that at least one contact pair closes and opens a contact pair simultaneously.
  • the switching contact two the two Having contacts of the first circuit associated contact tabs and two the two contacts of the second circuit associated contact tabs is provided according to the invention in a switch of the type mentioned that the switching contact two the two Having contacts of the first circuit associated contact tabs and two the two contacts of the second circuit associated contact tabs.
  • the switch according to the invention is based on the idea to switch with 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 with first contact tabs and with other contact tabs Open contacts of a second circuit. Since only a single switching contact is required for this, results in a simple structure that low manufacturing costs entails.
  • a changeover switch 10 which has a housing 12 in which four contacts to be switched 1, 2, 3 and 4 are added.
  • a plunger 14 is slidably mounted in the housing 12.
  • 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.
  • 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 FIG. 3 ). Considered in a plane containing the contacts 3 and 4 (representation of the FIGS. 1 and 5 ) is the switching contact 16 in the initial state to the plunger 14 curved 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 FIG. 3 ). In the in the FIGS.
  • the contact tabs 20 are at the contacts 3 and 4; the circuit through the contacts 3 and 4 is thus closed (see also FIG. 4 ).
  • the switching contact 16 In a plane leading through the contacts 1 and 2 (see the Figures 2 and 6 ), the switching contact 16 has an approximately flat 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 a plurality of 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.
  • the plunger 14 When the plunger 14 is actuated, it presses on the center of the arcuate switching contact 16. This is from its first form, which in the Figures 5 and 6 shown by solid lines, converted into a second form, which in the Figures 5 and 6 shown in dashed lines.
  • the switching contact 16 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 in FIG. 5 dashed shown state of the switch contact 16).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 8 a variant embodiment is shown, which differs from the first embodiment by the different configuration of the contact tabs 20, 22.
  • each two opposing contact tabs 22 are used, which are each formed here of four individual tabs.
  • 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.
  • a switch according to a second embodiment is shown. 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.
