Definitions

  • the invention relates to a turntable for a motor vehicle with a control knob, a housing, a control knob rotatably mounted on the control shaft and electro-magnetic means which act on the control knob that a locking or blocking the rotation of the control knob is possible.
  • a turntable In today's motor vehicles controls are often used, which are assigned multifunctional control tasks. Thus, via the selection in a display or menu keys, a turntable can be given the control task of adjusting the volume of a radio receiver and at the same time assigning the control task to set a three-stage blower. Here are in a turntable different haptics as well as limitations to realize as end stops.
  • the turntable comprises a rotatably mounted in a housing actuating shaft with a cooperating detent arrangement comprising a rotatable support member which is to brake the activation of the locking arrangement by an associated controllable by a solenoid locking element with respect to the housing or fixable, the solenoid from a hole and a movable armature arrangement existing magnetic circuit and a winding contains.
  • the magnetic circuit includes a permanent magnet, which is designed and arranged so that the solenoid acts as a bistable, by short-term energization of the winding switchable solenoid.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a turntable with which it is possible to produce any desired haptics.
  • the turntable should be structurally simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • document EP1480238 shows a turntable according to the preamble of claim 1. The object of the invention is achieved by the features of claim 1.
  • the inventive construction of the turntable the possibility is now created to realize any Haptikverstructure on a control knob of the turntable. This is particularly advantageous when the turntable is used for multifunctional control tasks.
  • many small notches as well as center pegs and end stops can be displayed.
  • the usual detents differ from the center detents in that in the case of center detents, in contrast to normal detents, an increased expenditure of force for over-rotating the center detent is necessary.
  • a positive connection between the friction disc and the actuating shaft and between the flux guide member and the actuating shaft a structurally simple construction of the magnetic means is ensured, which in turn has a positive effect on the manufacturing cost.
  • the turntable 1 consists of a control knob 2 on which a control shaft 3 is rotatably mounted. Below the control knob, a flux guide member 4 and a friction washer 5 along the control shaft 3 is movably mounted on the shaft. The flux guide part 4 and the friction disk 5 are movable along the control shaft 3 and in the direction of the arrow P over the control shaft 3 away.
  • a positive connection wherein the control shaft 3 is formed profiled at least in the region of the flux guide part 4 and the friction disc 5 and that flux guide member 4 and the friction disc 5 a provided the profile corresponding opening.
  • a coil 6 is arranged around the control shaft 3 around. The coil 6 is held in a part of the housing 7 of the turntable 1.
  • the housing 7 at the same time supports the bearing 8 of the control shaft 3. It is conceivable here to use a commercial bearing, such as a plain bearing, roller bearings or ball bearings.
  • the coil 6 accommodated in the housing 7 can be accommodated either as a circumferential one, that is to say around the setting shaft 3 or as a separate coil element at two or more positions in the housing. If the coil 6 is energized, the coil 6 indicates a magnetic field which, for example, runs in the direction of the dashed line L through the housing 7 and the flux guide part 4.
  • the housing 7 as well as the flux guide member is formed of an electrically conductive material. If the housing 7 accommodating the coil 6 is formed of an electrically conductive material, then the housing 7 forms a lower part 7 conducting the magnetic flux, and the flux guide part 4 forms an upper part 4 guiding the magnetic flux.
  • the programming takes place in this case in that the coil 6 is traversed laterally in the distances corresponding to the notches with current, so that the force corresponding to the detent F is exerted on the flux guide part and thus by the positive connection to the control shaft 3 a braking effect on the control knob. 2 is noticeable.
  • the friction disk 5 can be made in regions and in a ring shape with a coating 9 which can be attached on one or both sides of the friction disk 5.
  • the coating 9 serves to reduce the adhesion forces between the magnetic means 4, 7, 6.
  • the coating 9 serves as a lubricant between the flux guide parts 4, 7 which move relative to one another.
  • the coating 9 it is possible to use materials which have a lower strength than the base material of the flux guide parts 4, 7.
  • a material to be used here is for example copper.
  • the coating 9 is annularly applied to the friction disc 5.
  • an angle encoder 10 to the control shaft 3.
  • an angle encoder 10 here known from the prior art conventional angle encoder 10 are used.
  • the electromagnetic means 4, 5, 6, 7 realize an end stop, the magnetic means 4, 5, 6, 7 are pressed against each other.
  • a highly sensitive angle sensor 10 is used, which detects even the most minimal rotational movements of the control knob 2 in the opposite direction to the end stop and in this case the magnetic means 4, 5, 6 7, and on the other hand, the play with which the flux guide part 4 and the friction disc 5 are received in the control shaft 3 is sufficient to turn the control knob 2 minimally, so that by means of the angle encoder 10 detects the direction of rotation and the magnetic means 4, 5, 6, 7 are released.
