Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switch hinge with a hinge housing on which a hinge wing is pivotally mounted about an axis, wherein on the axis of a coupled to the hinge wing switching element is provided which triggers a switching operation on a built-in switch at a predetermined position of the hinge wing.
  • switching hinges in which a hinge wing is pivotally mounted on a hinge housing, wherein in a certain angular position coupled to the hinge wing switching element triggers a switching operation on a built-in switch.
  • a hinge switch is known in which a contact switch is provided between two relatively pivotable hinge wings.
  • the contact switch comprises a switching shaft which has a self-locking thread and is rotatable to set the switching point.
  • the GB 2,150,757 shows a hinge switch with two pivotally mounted hinge wings, wherein coaxially with a connecting the hinge wing bolt switching elements are provided which have a first switching contact and a second switching contact.
  • the switching point of the installation switch is subsequently adjustable, so that the switch hinge can be easily adapted to different installation situations.
  • the adjusting means for adjusting the switching point are preferably arranged protected against access from the outside, so that the switch hinge is secured against manipulation. As a result, the switch hinge can be dismantled and reused, with an adaptation to the respective installation situation is possible.
  • an interchangeable connecting element for transmitting rotational movements is provided between the switching element and the hinge wing, which is mounted on the hinge wing and / or the switching element in different angular positions.
  • the switching point of the switching hinge can be easily redefined, with only the connecting element replaced or mounted in a different angular position, and then set the switch hinge to the desired switching point.
  • the connecting element is at least partially positive and non-positively fixed to the hinge wing and / or the switching element, so that a continuous adjustment of the connecting element is possible. If required, a new connecting element can be used to define a new switching point.
  • the connecting element is designed as an annular disc which is non-rotatably coupled to the hinge wing and the switching element.
  • the connecting element can be produced inexpensively and with little effort can then be made an adjustment of the switching point.
  • the connecting element can be inserted into a receptacle formed on the hinge wing with at least one inwardly protruding tooth. This allows the inwardly projecting tooth to dig into the material of the connecting element, so that a rotationally fixed connection is created.
  • the connecting element may be made of a plastically deformable material, preferably made of plastic or a soft metal.
  • the connecting element may have an inner opening which has a shape deviating from the circular shape and is non-rotatably connectable to a protruding pin on the switching element.
  • the opening may be formed as a hexagon, so that a coupling with a correspondingly formed hexagonal pin is possible.
  • the switching element is protected received in a switch housing in which the built-in switch is arranged.
  • the switch housing can be fixed to the hinge housing.
  • markings are preferably provided on the switch housing and the switching element, so that a corresponding alignment is simplified.
  • a shift hinge comprises a hinge housing 6, on which a hinge wing 4 is rotatably fixed.
  • a switch housing 9 is mounted via at least one screw 8, in which a built-in switch is arranged, which triggers a switching operation relative to the hinge housing 6 at a certain angular position of the hinge wing.
  • the hinge housing 6 is provided with slots 12, whereby the hinge housing 6 can be mounted on a component, wherein equally provided on the hinge wing 4 slots 13 for connection to another component.
  • a screw 1 penetrates a switching element 2 in the form of a shift drum.
  • the switching element 2 is inserted with a Wegelemcnt Adjust 10 in the form of a cylindrical pin in a receptacle 3, which is arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation of the hinge wing 4.
  • the switching element 2 cooperates with a built-in switch 7 to trigger a switching operation at a certain angular position of the switching element 2.
  • a connecting element 5 is provided in the form of an annular plastic disc having a circular outer periphery.
  • the connecting element 5 can be inserted by clamping into a receptacle 40 on the hinge wing 4, wherein at least one inwardly projecting tooth 41 protrudes on the receptacle 40.
  • the connecting element 5 is pressed into the receptacle 40 in a form-fitting manner, so that there is a rotationally fixed connection between the connecting element 5 and the hinge wing 4.
  • the tooth 41 may have different geometries, for example tapering, be designed as a spring for a tongue and groove connection or as a projection, so that the recording has a deviating from the circular contour. It can also be provided over the circumference distributed teeth 41.
  • an opening in the form of a hexagon is formed, in which engages a corresponding hexagonal pin on the switching element 2.
  • a cap 15 can first be removed from the switch housing 9 to release the screw 1. Subsequently, the countersunk screw 8 is removed, so that the switch housing can be pivoted and can be removed from the hinge housing 6.
  • the connecting element 5 can be pulled off the switching element 2 so that the hexagonal pin 20 is removed from the corresponding hexagonal opening 50.
  • the switching element 2 must be pressed until it stops in the switch housing 9 and rotated in the terminal until the arrow 22 is pivoted to the mark 23 on the switch housing 9.
  • the switch housing 9 is again introduced with the switching element guide 10 in the receptacle 3 of the hinge wing 4.
  • the pins of the switch housing 9 are thereby pivoted into the holes of the hinge housing 6 and the switch housing 9 is fixed via the countersunk screw 8 to the hinge housing 6.
  • the switch housing 9 is shown in section in Figure 4.
  • an adjustment screw 11 is provided, which is accessible from both the top and from the bottom of the switch housing 9 via a respective opening 17.
  • the built-in switch 7 can be pivoted about the adjusting screw 11 by a hinge 19, as shown schematically by the two arrows. It is possible to form the hinge 19 as a film hinge, which is formed integrally with the switch housing 9.
  • a spring-loaded button 18 is slightly moved from the middle position up or down, so that its position is changed relative to the switching element 2.
  • a recess is provided on the outer circumference, in which the spring-loaded button 18 engages to trigger a switching operation. In a certain range can thus be changed by the adjustment screw 11, the position of the button 18, so that the switching point is changed, resulting from the interaction of the button 18 with the switching element 2.
  • the connecting element 5 is interchangeable set in a receptacle of the hinge wing 4. It is of course also possible to provide a protruding pin on the hinge wing, and to form the receptacle on the switching element 2. Furthermore, other fastening means may be provided in order to achieve a rotationally fixed connection between the switching element 2 and the hinge wing 4.
  • one or more contacts may be provided to use a corresponding number of switching points can. It is further possible to provide on the switching element electronic or magnetic sensors by means of which the detection of the angular position of the hinge wing 4 is possible.
  • the connecting element 5 provides in the embodiment shown for a mechanical coupling of hinge wing and switching element 2. It is also possible to provide other means for transmitting the rotational movement, such as magnets or other non-contact fasteners.
  • the built-in switch 7 is housed in a switch housing 9 which is fixed to the hinge housing 6.
  • the built-in switch 7 it is also possible to arrange the built-in switch 7 in a modified hinge housing 6 in order to realize a particularly compact construction, so that the switch housing 9 can be dispensed with.
