Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for controlling the change of state of an electric circuit, which makes it possible to pass it from an activated state to an inactivated state, or vice versa.
  • This device finds a particular application in the automotive industry, without however that it is limiting.
  • It can be used especially on the dashboard of a vehicle to control the operation of lights, mirrors, windshield wipers or radio, for example.
  • Such a device comprises a manual control member whose actuation by a user causes the aforementioned state change of the electrical circuit.
  • control devices such as pushers with springs without indexing, micro-contactors or pushers provided with a spring whose position is indexed on a notched ramp.
  • An action exerted on the push button makes it possible to move the movable magnet away from the fixed magnet and at the same time bring the moving contact closer to the fixed contact so as to close an electrical circuit.
  • the object of the invention is to solve the aforementioned drawbacks and to provide a control device with a simple structure and small overall dimensions, in particular axial dimensions.
  • the invention also aims to provide a control device whose indexing means of the different operating positions have a virtually zero wear, so that it maintains a constant tactile feedback over time.
  • the invention relates to a device for controlling the change of state of an electric circuit.
  • this device comprises a housing, a manual control member, able to move relative to said housing, and two elements, one fixed, integral with said housing, the other movable, able to be moved by said control member, these two elements being an electrical circuit made of ferromagnetic material and a magnet, the respective faces of said electric circuit and said magnet located opposite one another and intended to cooperate, called "active faces", being electrically conductive, said manual control member being movable between an initial position, in which the two elements are in magnetic and electrical contact, such that said electrical circuit is in an activated state and a final position, in which both elements are spaced from each other and are no longer in magnetic and electrical contact, so that said electrical circuit is in a state inactivated.
  • control device comprises a housing 1, within which are housed a manual control member 2, an electric circuit 3 and a permanent magnet 4.
  • the housing 1 and the control member 2 are made of a non-magnetic material and electrically insulating, preferably plastic.
  • the casing 1 has the general shape of a cylinder of low height, with a longitudinal axis X-X '.
  • the housing 1 comprises an outer cylindrical wall 11, an inner cylindrical wall 12, both coaxial with the axis X-X '.
  • the housing 1 is further closed at one of these ends by a circular bottom 13.
  • the cylindrical outer wall 11 has two parts, namely a lower portion 111, thicker, located in the vicinity of the bottom 13, and an upper portion 113, less thick.
  • the inner diameter of the upper cylindrical portion 113 is larger than the inner diameter of the lower portion 111.
  • the two walls 11 and 12 and the bottom 13 define inside the housing 1, a chamber 14 of generally annular shape.
  • the chamber 14 is divided into two parts, namely an annular lower chamber 142 and an annular upper chamber 141.
  • the manual control member 2 takes the form of a push button, capable of sliding axially along the axis X-X '.
  • the push button 2 comprises a head 21, in the form of a thin disc, which is extended by a guide cylinder 22, axis perpendicular to the plane of the disc.
  • the outer diameter of the head 21 corresponds to the inner diameter of the upper portion 113 of the cylindrical wall 11, while the inner diameter of the guide cylinder 22 corresponds to the outer diameter of the inner wall 12 of the housing 1, with a slight clearance. This allows the translational movement of the push button 2, around the cylinder 12, along the axis X-X '.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 The two extreme positions likely to be occupied by the push button 2 are illustrated respectively in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the magnet 4 has the shape of a thin ring. It is housed inside the chamber 142 and its dimensions are adapted so that it can slide axially inside thereof, along the axis X-X '.
  • the magnet 4 has a planar upper face 41 and an opposite lower face 42, also flat and located opposite the bottom 13.
  • the magnet 4 may be made of a metallic material, intrinsically electrically conductive, for example ferrite.
  • the magnet 4 is made of plastoferrite.
  • its upper face 41 is covered at least partially with a coating electrically conductive, for example a conductive ink, and can be deposited therein by screen printing or by pad printing, for example.
  • a coating electrically conductive for example a conductive ink
  • the plastoferrite may include charges to make it sufficiently electrically conductive for the intended application.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of the electric circuit 3 is illustrated in FIG. 1
  • This circuit 3 comprises two half-rings 30, 30 ', each of them being extended by a connecting lug 31, respectively 31', on which is welded an electrically conductive wire 32, respectively 32 '.
  • the circuit 3 is made of a ferromagnetic material, that is to say likely to be attracted by a magnet.
  • the circuit 3 can be made of an intrinsically electrically conductive material.
  • This electrically conductive coating may be a conductive ink deposited, for example, by screen printing or pad printing.
  • This electrically conductive coating can also be deposited by an electrolytic bath on tape, by pre-silvering or pre-tinning.
  • the two parts of the circuit 3 are advantageously overmoulded to keep their geometry.
  • each of the half-rings 30, 30 corresponds substantially to the outside diameter of the guide cylinder 22, so that the circuit 3 can be disposed inside the chamber 141 of the housing 1, so that its periphery rests on the annular shoulder 112 and that it surrounds the cylinder 22.
  • the magnet 4 In the initial resting position, illustrated in FIG. 1, the magnet 4 is pressed against the electric circuit 3 made of ferromagnetic material, because of the magnetic attraction.
  • the electrically conductive face 41 of the magnet 4 ensures electrical contact between the two conductive faces 34 and 34 'of the two half-rings 30 and 30', respectively, and allows the electric circuit 3 to close.
  • the electric circuit 3 being fixed, the magnet 4 is found at a distance e of this circuit 3, corresponding to the game j.
  • the magnetic and electrical contacts between the magnet 4 and the electrical circuit 3 are then broken.
  • the electric circuit 3 is open and goes from an activated state to an inactivated state.
  • the user feels some resistance, as long as the magnet 4 and the circuit 3 are in contact. As soon as they are detached from each other, the user feels a runaway movement of the push button 2 or effect "gully" and has the tactile impression of the passage of a hard point.
  • the distance e between the electric circuit 3 and the magnet 4 is such that the electric circuit 3 is always in the magnetic field exerted by the magnet 4.
  • the movable magnet 4 can be returned to its initial position by any appropriate means, such as a micro spring for example.
  • the magnet 4 could be fixed and the electric circuit 3 mobile.
  • the inner 12 and outer 11 walls of the housing 1 could be of a shape other than cylindrical, the respective shapes of the electric circuit 3 and the magnet 4 then being adapted accordingly.
