Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rocker switch with a housing, with two slidably mounted in the housing plungers and associated with each plunger switching element.
  • rocker switches are used, for example, in vehicles to control various functions. Some functions require that a closed contact be maintained even when the switch is not operated, and that the contact be reopened only when the rocker switch is depressed in the opposite direction as the previous operation.
  • a two-stage switch in the manner of a rocker switch with a housing and an actuating knob in which two spaced-apart pressure body are slidably mounted in the housing. Below the pressure body, a contact plate with at least four contacts is arranged, each pressure body having two contacts associated therewith. Between the housing and the contact plate a gummiumhülltes switching member is arranged with at least four contact pieces, which correspond to the contacts. For switching two-stage switching means are arranged, which are moved by means of the switching elements in two strokes on the contact plate.
  • the switch is very complex and not suitable to keep one of the contacts closed in the de-energized state.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a rocker switch, which is by simple means in a position to keep a contact closed even in the unactuated state and is also inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the switching element is part of a contact mat having at least two stable layers.
  • Switching element is part of a contact mat and has two stable layers, is achieved by simple means that are already inevitably part of modern switches, that the switch remains stable until actuation in a switching position or in a neutral position.
  • a switching feel is generated by the contact mat, which indicates to the operator the switching state perceptible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a switching element according to the invention, which can be installed, for example, in an operating element of a motor vehicle.
  • FIG. 2 likewise shows a perspective view of a further exemplary embodiment of a rocker switch.
  • the rocker switch comprises a housing 1.
  • the housing 1 is part of a console of a vehicle in which, for example, further operating, functional and / or display elements are arranged.
  • the housing 1 has at the bottom of a bottom 1a and is closed at the top with a cover, not shown. Between the bottom 1a and the cover, the housing 1 comprises a support part 1b.
  • two plungers 2 which are actuated by an operator of the operating element, mounted parallel and side by side in the support part 1 b.
  • the plunger 2 in the support member 1 b according to the figure 1 are guided vertically displaceable up and down, wherein the mobility is limited in both directions by appropriate configurations of the support member 1b and / or the plunger 2.
  • the two plungers 2 are interconnected by an indicated, mounted in the support part 1 b rocker 3.
  • the housing 1, 1 a, 1 b and the plunger 2 are made of plastic, for example.
  • contacts and strip conductors associated with the rocker switch for example in the form of a printed circuit board 4, are arranged such that the contacts are located vertically below the plungers 2.
  • the circuit board 4 forms the bottom 1a.
  • each plunger 2 is assigned one of the switching elements 6.
  • Each of the switching elements 6, 7 has the shape of a hollow straight truncated cone.
  • a cylindrical extension is formed, wherein at least the free end is electrically conductive.
  • the circuit board 4 and the contact mat 5 are aligned so that this extension is concentrically aligned vertically above the associated contact.
  • the wall of each switching element 6, 7 and the transition to the planar part of the switching mat 5 is formed so that the switching element 6, 7 is stable in two layers.
  • the switching mat 5 is made of permanently elastic material such as silicone.
  • Each of the switching elements 6, 7 is positively or positively connected at its upper end to the lower end of the associated plunger 2, for example glued or locked.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective top view of a basic structure of a mechanism for generating the inventive cooperation of two switching elements 9, 10 with a rocker 11. It is hereby expressly noted that it is a schematic diagram.
  • the switching elements 9, 10 are part of a contact mat 12 and as described in the first embodiment, the switching elements 9, 10 with their integrated switching elements have the ability to close contacts on a below the contact mat 12 circuit board.
  • Above the switching elements 9, 10 ram 13, 14 are fixed, which in turn are positively connected to the rocker 11.
  • the positive engagement is - as shown - generated by a pin 15, 16, wherein the pin 15, 16 extends through the rocker 11 in the plunger 13, 14 into it.
  • the rocker 11 is held in the housing 17.
  • an axis 18 which is part of the rocker 11 or is connected as a separate component with the rocker 11, wherein the axis 18 is mounted in the housing 17 extends.
  • the switching elements 9, 10 are, as described for the figure 1, operated by means of the ends 19, 20 of the rocker 11 by the operator by means of a force P, Z, in turn, comes to an interaction of the switching elements 9, 10 by the rocker 11.
