Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switching module with a shift lever, which is in particular pivotally mounted in a housing and having a sleeve-shaped switch piece guide, in which a locking pin is guided, which is supported with a free end to a backdrop.
  • Switching modules are used for example in the form of steering column switches and are known in a variety of embodiments. These switching modules are used, for example, as a light switch, turn signal switch, windscreen wiper switch, etc.
  • the shift lever is pivotally mounted in at least one axis in a housing, often a gimbal is used so that it can be pivoted both up and down and forward and backward.
  • To hold the individual switching positions of the shift lever has a switch piece guide in which a locking pin is mounted axially displaceable, wherein the locking pin is supported with its free end to a housing fixed in the rule backdrop. From the DE 199 36 484 C1 Such a switch has become known with a resting on a backdrop locking bolt.
  • the DE 101 60 801 A1 shows another embodiment of such arranged in a switch piece guide locking bolt.
  • the steering column switch Since the steering column switch has a relatively long shift lever, it is necessary that the locking bolt is guided and supported as free of play as possible in the contact piece. The longer the shift lever is formed, the greater is the moment acting on the bearing and the greater is the force to be supported by the stop bolt. Is not the locking pin stored free of play, it causes noises that can sometimes interfere with.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a switching module, which has a simpler structure and therefore is cheaper to produce.
  • the inventive design of the switch piece guide has the significant advantage that no longer springs must be accommodated in the narrow space of the locking bolt, urging the sections of the locking bolt radially outward to compensate for a game between the locking pin and the switch piece guide, as in the locking bolt of DE 101 60 801 A1 the case is. Rather, the finger is formed by the locking pin surrounding switch piece guide which has the advantage that much more material and space for the finger are available.
  • the switch piece guide produced as an injection molded part can therefore be made much simpler and thus cheaper, and tolerances play a much smaller role.
  • the locking pin must not be made hollow and therefore can also be made of steel, whereby higher retention forces can be supported.
  • the finger is part of the sleeve-shaped housing of the switch piece guide.
  • the switch piece guide can be made in one piece, whereby not only the production but also the assembly is simplified and the handling of the parts is made simpler.
  • the finger is separated out by means of a U-shaped opening in such a way from the sleeve-shaped housing of the switch piece guide that it has a free end and an end integrally connected to the housing.
  • the finger thus forms a resilient element which lies in the jacket plane of the switch piece guide and can be pivoted in the radial direction.
  • Such U-shaped breakthroughs can be made injection molding technology relatively simple and inexpensive, wherein the elasticity is adjustable by the length of the finger and thus the cantilever arm.
  • the finger extends parallel to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the locking bolt.
  • This embodiment allows the production of relatively long fingers, which therefore can also have large wall thicknesses and yet are elastic.
  • Another variant provides that the finger extends in the circumferential direction, and is urged radially inwardly, for example by means of a C-shaped spring clip.
  • the finger has a free end, with which it rests on the circumference of the locking bolt.
  • the system can be punctiform or linear, whereby the frictional forces to be transmitted are adjusted.
  • the finger can rest in other, distributed over its length arranged areas on the circumference of the locking bolt.
  • the line contact can take place parallel to the longitudinal axis of the locking bolt, which has the advantage that a longitudinal displacement of the locking bolt with respect to the switch piece guide has no effect on the clearance compensation.
  • a spring element which acts on the finger in the region of its free end in the radial direction with a force.
  • the spring element is a helical compression spring.
  • Such springs are simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture and the springs can be made with the desired spring rate.
  • the spring constant of such springs is constant over long temperature ranges and over long periods of time.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that the finger in the region of its free end has a ramp-like ramp, which extends in the longitudinal direction and radially outward.
  • This ramp is located on the radial outside of the finger and serves as a support for the end of the helical compression spring.
  • the spring When the spring is installed, one end of the coil spring pushes on the ramp, so that the free end of the finger is urged radially in the direction of the locking bolt.
  • the radial force component can be adjusted and a defined frictional force between the contact points of the finger and the locking bolt can be generated.
  • the switch piece guide In order to hold the locking pin symmetrical in the sleeve-shaped contact piece guide, the switch piece guide on two fingers which face each other with respect to their longitudinal axis. The locking pin is therefore held symmetrically from both sides of the fingers and centered within the switch piece guide. It is also conceivable that more than two fingers are arranged uniformly over the circumference.
  • a clearance compensation over the entire length of the locking bolt is achieved in that the switch piece guide has at least two fingers arranged in succession in the direction of their longitudinal axis.
  • the two fingers are integrally connected at their ends facing each other with the housing of the switch piece guide. This has the advantage that the resiliently movable ends are remote from each other, so that between these a compression spring can be arranged.
  • the FIG. 1 shows a switching module 10, as used for example as a turn signal switch in a motor vehicle.
  • the switching module 10 has a shift lever 12, which is actuated at its free end 14, wherein the shift lever 12 is pivoted about a pivot axis 16.
  • This pivot axis 16 is as out FIG. 2 can be seen, formed by two journals 18 which protrude from a bearing block 20.
  • the bearing pins 18 engage in bearing openings 22 which are provided in a housing 24.
  • the pivot axis 16 opposite end of the shift lever 12 is formed as a sleeve-shaped switch piece guide 26 and surrounds a locking pin 28 which with its free end 30 (see FIGS. 3 and 4 ) protrudes from the switch piece guide 26.
  • the free end 30 is supported in a housing 24 provided in the gate 32 (see FIG. 6 ), whereby switching positions of the shift lever 12 can be held and the shift lever 12 can perform defined movements.
  • the locking pin 28 is mounted in the contact piece guide 26 and guided in the axial direction movable.
  • the locking pin 28 is surrounded by a helical compression spring 34 which is supported both behind the thickened free end 30 of the locking bolt 28 and at radially inwardly projecting ends 36 of the switch piece guide 26, so that the locking pin 28 away from the bearing block 20 and axially the switch piece guide 26 is pushed out, and rests under the force of the compression spring 34 on the link 32.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 clearly show that the switch piece guide 26 is provided with a total of 4 fingers 38, which have free ends 40 which are straight in the axial direction or bent in the radial direction and abut on its radially inner end 36 on the locking pin 28.
  • the contact piece guide 26 is surrounded by a second helical compression spring 42, which is supported on the free ends 40 of the fingers 38.
  • these free ends 40 on a radially outwardly projecting ramp 44, which clearly in FIG. 3 is recognizable.
  • This ramp has a ramp angle ⁇ or ⁇ , which in FIG. 4 is shown, and whereby the radial force component 46 can be adjusted to the locking pin 28.
  • the two mutually facing ends 48 of the consecutive fingers 38 (FIG. FIG. 3 ) are integrally connected to the switch piece guide 26 so that the fingers 38 are surrounded by a U-shaped aperture 50.
  • the ramp angles ⁇ and ⁇ both the length and the wall thickness of the fingers 38 and the spring constant of the spring 42, the size of the radial force component 46 and thereby the friction of the free ends 40 of the fingers 38 are set on the locking pin 28.
  • the housing 24, the shift lever 12 and thus also the switch piece guide 26 and the bearing block 20 may be formed as injection-molded plastic parts.
  • the locking bolt 28 may also be an injection-molded plastic part, but this may also be made of metal and in particular be a rotary part or a die-cast part.
