Definitions

  • the present invention is based on a designed according to the preamble of the main claim electrical push-button switch.
  • This electric push-button switch has a stationary and the movable electrical contact parts receiving, made of plastic housing, in which a pushbutton is guided in a displaceable manner.
  • the push button is associated with a helical compression spring, which on the one hand generates the restoring forces necessary for the return of the push button and which on the other cooperates with the interposition of an intermediate member with a designed as a contact rocker movable electrical contact part.
  • a push-button switch however, comparatively many individual parts are necessary, which are in operative connection with one another via a plurality of coupling points and cause correspondingly high costs both during their manufacture and during their assembly.
  • the actuation travel in such an executed push-button switch is comparatively large.
  • US-A-5 508485 discloses another push-button switch according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to realize an electric pushbutton switch, which can be easily produced in a particularly cost-effective manner with a particularly small actuating travel and at Both the number of necessary items, as well as the necessary number of coupling or active joints are minimized as far as possible.
  • such an electric pushbutton switch mainly consists of a stationary contact parts and the movable electrical contact parts receiving, made of plastic housing and at least one slidably guided in the housing pushbutton 1, which is associated with a helical compression spring 2.
  • the helical compression spring 2 is provided on the one hand for generating the necessary for resetting the push button 2 restoring forces and acts on the other with the contact rocker 3 as a movable, electrical contact part together.
  • the housing consists of a base 4 and a base part 5.
  • the stationary contact parts are designed as boards 6 and set in insert technology in the base part 5.
  • As a square post 7 running connection contacts are outgoing from the boards 6 to the outside.
  • the boards 6 are equipped with electronic components 8 and provided for cooperation with existing on the contact rocker 3 Kunststoffkümpeln 9.
  • the axis of rotation X as a bearing for the helical compression spring 2 provided as Haltedom 10 and provided for the interaction with an actuator 11 control cam 12 integrally formed on the contact rocker 3.
  • the Haltedom 10 is designed annular and the control cam 12 has a W-shaped configuration. Both the Gardom 10, as well as the control cam 12 are in the direction of the push button 1 from the upper frame surface of the frame-like contact rocker 3 from. From the lower frame surface of the frame-like contact rocker 3, the contact 9 are in the direction of the base part 5 from.
  • To form the axis of rotation X is on one side of the frame-like Contact rocker 3 a stub axle 13 is formed.
  • the other side of the contact rocker 3 provided with the retaining dome 10 rests with the lower edge region of the retaining dome 10 on a contact rail 14.
  • a dipping into the Gardom 10 positioning lug is formed on the contact rail 14.
  • a bearing shell 15 is formed for safe storage of the contact rocker 3 to an outer wall of the base part 5.
  • the bearing shell 15 and the contact rail 14 take the main body of the contact rocker 3 between them, so that they come to rest pivotally in the housing.
  • the figures can be removed that the Gardom 10 is formed for the helical compression spring 2 in the immediate vicinity of the contact rail 14 to the contact rocker 3.
  • the control cam 12, however, is formed in the immediate vicinity of the stub axle 13 to the contact rocker 3.
  • the control cam 12 is associated with an actuating element 11, which cooperates with its one end portion 11a directly to the control cam 12 and which is held at its end portion 11 b pivotally in a receiving pocket 16 of the push button 1.
  • the receiving pocket 16 is formed so that the fixed with its other end portion 11 b in the push button 1 actuator 11 can pivot elastically.
  • the actuator 11 consists of a T-shaped sheet metal stamped part, wherein the control cam 12 associated with one end portion 11a of the crossbar and the other end portion 11b defined in the pushbutton 1 is the end of the longitudinal web. Both the one end portion 11a, and the other end portion 11b are made double laid.
  • the helical compression spring 2 is supported, on the one hand, on the contact rocker 3 and is securely mounted by the retaining dome 10 formed thereon.
  • the helical compression spring 2 is supported on the push button 1, wherein for secure storage of the helical compression spring 2 to the push button 1, a retaining pin 17 is formed.
  • the helical compression spring 2 comes to rest in a further receiving pocket 18, which is dimensioned such that the helical compression spring 2 can buckle elastically due to the operation of one side and the other side.
  • One of the existing on the boards 6 electronic components 8 is designed as an LED. So that the light emitted by the LED light lossless can be passed to the actuating surface of the push button 1, the push button 1 is funnel-shaped. The small opening of the push button 1 is assigned to the LED and the large opening of the push button 1 of the actuating surface.
  • the electric push-button switch can be groped in two different functional positions.
  • the first functional position of the electric push-button switch is in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 shown.
  • the contact rocker 3 In its first functional position, the contact rocker 3 is in contact with its left contact pad 9 on the associated board 6 in contact.
  • the actuator 11 is associated with its one end portion 11 a of the right side of the W-shaped cam 12.
  • the right Maiskümpel 9 is lifted from its associated board 6.
  • the helical compression spring 2 has a leftward, elastic bulge.
  • the pushbutton 1 starting from its in FIG. 3 depressed shown rest position, the one end portion 11 a of the actuating element 11 runs on the right portion of the control cam 12. Upon further depression, the actuator 11 runs along the right sloping part of the control cam 12 until it comes to rest on the right end stop of the W-shaped cam 12. Upon further depression of the push button 1 pivots the contact rocker 3, starting from the in FIG. 3 position shown in the FIG. 5 shown position, because the actuator 11, the contact rocker 3 more and more pivots.
  • FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 shown second functional position of the electric pushbutton switch is now reached.
  • the contact rocker 3 In its second functional position, the contact rocker 3 is contact-contacting with its right contact puddle 9 on the associated board 6.
  • the actuator 11 is associated with its one end portion 11 a of the left side of the W-shaped cam 12.
  • the left contact pocket 9 is lifted off its associated board 6.
  • the helical compression spring 2 has a rightward, elastic bulge.
  • an electric pushbutton switch is realized in which both the number of necessary items, as well as the necessary number of coupling or active connection points are minimized as far as possible in a particularly small actuation path.
  • an electrical pushbutton switch with a particularly compact design to a robust design, so that a reliable operation even in a harsh environment is readily possible.
