Description

B E S C H R E I B U N G DESCRIPTION
Bedienelement mit einstellbarer RastControl element with adjustable latch
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Erzeugung einer Rast in einem Bedienelement für ein Kraftfahrzeug bestehend aus einem mit Rastmulden versehenen, zylindrischen Formteil, wobei das Formteil mit einem Bedienknopf des Bedienelementes verbunden ist, so dass ein Drehen des Formteils mit dem Bedienknopf möglich ist, mindestens zwei Bügelfedern, die tangential am Formteil anliegen und eine Erhebung aufweisen, die formschlüssig in den Rastmulden des Formteils anliegt.The invention relates to a device for generating a detent in an operating element for a motor vehicle consisting of a provided with detent cavities, cylindrical molded part, wherein the molded part is connected to a control knob of the control element, so that a rotation of the molded part with the control knob is possible, at least two Bow springs that bear tangentially on the molding and have a survey that rests positively in the locking recesses of the molding.
Es ist allgemein üblich, dass Bedienelemente, die in Kraftfahrzeugen eingesetzt werden, eine Rast aufweisen. Durch die am Drehknopf des Bedienelementes befindliche Rast erfährt der Bediener eine haptische Rückmeldung über die einzustellende Steuergröße. Je nach eingestellter Rast kann dem Bediener somit das Gefühl vermittelt werden, ob eine Rastposition erreicht ist oder es wird dem Bediener das Justieren erleichtert. Besitzt ein Gebläse über die Null-Stellung hinaus drei Rastpositionen, so kann mittels eines Einrastens eine Stufe des Gebläses ausgewählt werden. Wird hingegen das Bedienelement zur Einstellung einer Lautstärke für ein Radio verwendet, so kann mittels einer Vielzahl von Rastpunkten das Justieren der Lautstärke für den Bediener erleichtert werden.It is common practice that controls used in motor vehicles have a catch. By means of the latch located on the control knob, the operator experiences a haptic feedback about the control variable to be set. Depending on the set stop, the operator can thus be given the feeling of whether a locking position has been reached or the adjustment of the operator is facilitated. If a blower has three detent positions beyond the zero position, one stage of the blower can be selected by means of a latch. However, if the control is used to set a volume for a radio so adjusting the volume for the operator can be facilitated by means of a plurality of detent points.
Für das Auffinden fester Rastpositionen ist aus der DE 195 05 737 C1 ein Schaltelement bekannt, das über mehrere Rastpositionen verfügt. Zum definierten Einstellen der Drehwinkel des Schaltelementes sind am Innenboden des Gehäusegrundkörpers zwei Bügelfedern eingespannt. Diese weisen zum Zusammenwirken mit einer Rastscheibe Auswölbungen auf. Die Rastscheibe besitzt an ihrem Umfang jeder Bügelfeder zugeordnet jeweils zwei entsprechende Rastkerben für die Drehwinkel. Weiterhin weist die Rastscheibe an ihrer Umfangsflä- che jeweils für jede Bügelfeder eine Auflaufschräge auf, die beim Drehen der Schaltnocke entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn für ein Rückstell-Drehmoment zur selbsttätigen Rückstellung der Schaltnocke in die Grundstellung sorgt. Durch die Anordnung zweier diametral im Gehäuse angeordneter Bügelfedern sind die unterschiedlichen Drehwinkel im Schaltelement anwählbar. Ausgehend von diesem gattungsbildenden Stand der Technik stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, ein Bedienelement zu entwickeln, das neben einer vorgebbaren Rastposition dem Bediener zusätzlich ein Rastgeräusch vermittelt. Darüber hinaus soll das erfindungsgemäße Bedienelement auf unterschiedlichste Einsatzgebiete des Bedienelementes leicht anpassbar sein, wobei dies mit möglichst geringen konstruktiven Mitteln und kostengünstig zu erfolgen hat.For finding fixed locking positions, a switching element is known from DE 195 05 737 C1, which has several locking positions. For defined setting of the rotation angle of the switching element, two bow springs are clamped on the inner bottom of the housing base body. These have to cooperate with a locking disc bulges. The locking disk has at its periphery each bow spring assigned two corresponding notches for the rotation angle. Furthermore, the detent disc on its peripheral surface in each case for each bow spring on a ramp, which counterclockwise when turning the switch cam for a return torque for automatic return of the switching cam ensures in the normal position. The arrangement of two diametrically arranged in the housing bow springs, the different rotational angle in the switching element can be selected. Based on this generic state of the art, the invention has the object to develop an operating element, which in addition to a predeterminable locking position gives the operator additionally a locking sound. In addition, the control element according to the invention should be easily adaptable to a wide variety of applications of the control element, which has to be done with the least possible structural means and cost.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird dadurch gelöst, dass eine Bügelfeder fest und eine Bügelfeder lose im Bedienelement gehalten ist. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung zweier tangential zu einer Rastkontur eines Formteils des Bedienelementes angebrachter Bügelfedern ist nun die Möglichkeit geschaffen, neben einer vorgebbaren Rast auch das Rastgeräusch in Bezug auf die individuellen Ansprüche des Bedienelementes anzupassen. Durch die erste, fest im Gehäuse des Bedienelementes gehaltene Bügelfeder wird die Rast selbst vorgegeben. Durch die zweite, lose im Gehäuse geführte und zusätzlich im Eingriff der Mulden des Formteils befindliche Bügelfeder ist je nach Spiel der zweiten Bügelfeder ein unterschiedliches Rastgeräusch erzeugbar. Hierbei werden die Bügelfedern tangential an das zylindrisch und mittig im Bedienelement angebrachte Formteil herangeführt, wobei die Erhebungen formschlüssig in den Rastmulden des Formteils anliegen.The object of the invention is achieved in that a bow spring fixed and a bow spring is held loose in the control. The inventive arrangement of two tangentially mounted to a locking contour of a molded part of the control bow springs the opportunity is now created to adjust in addition to a predetermined rest and the detent noise with respect to the individual requirements of the control. By the first, firmly held in the housing of the control element bow spring the rest itself is specified. By the second, loosely guided in the housing and additionally engaged with the troughs of the molding bow spring a different detent noise can be generated depending on the game of the second bow spring. Here, the bow springs are tangentially brought to the cylindrical and centrally mounted in the control molding, the surveys form fit into the locking recesses of the molding.
Zur weiteren Erhöhung des Rastgeräusches ist es vorteilhaft, in die Bügelfedern außerhalb des Bereichs, der Erhebungen, die in den Mulden anliegen, Ausnehmungen in Form von Löchern in die Bügelfedern einzubringen, um so einen weiteren Einfluss auf das Rastgeräusch nehmen zu können.To further increase the locking noise, it is advantageous to introduce recesses in the form of holes in the bow springs in the bow springs outside the area, the elevations, which lie in the troughs, so as to be able to take a further influence on the detent noise.
Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigtThe invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment. It shows
Figur 1 die Draufsicht auf ein Formteil eines Bedienelementes mit an dem Formteil anliegenden Bügelfedern.Figure 1 is a plan view of a molded part of a control element with voltage applied to the molding bow springs.
Die Figur 1 zeigt die Draufsicht auf ein Formteil 1 eines nicht dargestellten Bedienelementes. Das Formteil 1 ist mittig in dem Bedienelement aufgenommen und um seine Mittelachse 2 drehbar. Das Formteil 1 wird aus einem zylindrischen mit einer regelmäßigen Wellenform versehenen Außenkontur gebildet. Formschlüssig greift die Bügelfeder 3 mit der Erhebung 4 in eine Rastmulde 5 ein und liegt dort formschlüssig an. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind zwei Bügelfedern 3, 6 diametral am Formteil 1 angebracht. Dabei liegt die Bügelfeder 3, 6 tangential am Formteil an, wobei die Erhebung 4 in die Rastmulde 5 hineinragt. Neben einer diametralen Anordnung der Bügelfedern 3, 6 ist eine um 90° versetzte Anordnung oder an einem beliebigen anderen Eingriffspunkt des Formteils 1 vorstellbar. Es ist darüber hinaus ebenfalls vorstellbar, die Bügelfedern 3, 6 übereinander aber beabstandet im Bedienelement zu befestigen.FIG. 1 shows the plan view of a molded part 1 of a control element (not shown). The molded part 1 is received centrally in the control element and rotatable about its central axis 2. The molded part 1 is formed from a cylindrical outer contour provided with a regular waveform. Positive engagement, the bow spring 3 engages with the survey 4 in a detent recess 5 and is there in a form-fitting manner. In this embodiment, two bow springs 3, 6 are mounted diametrically on the molded part 1. In this case, the bow spring 3, 6 is tangent to the molded part, wherein the elevation 4 projects into the catch recess 5. In addition to a diametrical arrangement of the bow springs 3, 6, a 90 ° offset arrangement or at any other point of engagement of the molding 1 is conceivable. Moreover, it is also conceivable to fasten the bow springs 3, 6 one above the other but spaced apart in the operating element.
Die Bügelfedern, die aus einem tangentialen Bereich 8, 9 und den seitlichen Bügeln 10, 11 bestehen, sind in der Figur 1 in ihrer Einbauposition wiedergegeben. Die Bügelfedern 3, 6 sind symmetrisch aufgebaut, so dass aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit lediglich eine Hälfte der Bügelfedern 3, 6 mit Bezugsziffern versehen wurde. Die Bügelfeder 3 wird derart in das Trägerteil 7 eingelegt, dass ihr tangentialer Bereich 8 wie auch der Bügel 10 fest am Trägerteil 7 anliegen. Hierbei ist das Trägerteil 7 derart geformt, dass die Erhebung 4 der Bügelfeder 3 in einen Hohlraum 12 des Trägerteils 7 hineinbewegbar ist, wenn das Formteil 1 gedreht und dabei die Erhebung 4 über das wellenförmige Profil 5 des Formteils 1 bewegt wird. Die Bügelfeder 3 erzeugt am Bedienelement über das Formteil 1 und eine in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel an das Formteil 1 angeschlossene Welle 13 für den Bediener am Drehknopf die Rast.The bow springs, which consist of a tangential region 8, 9 and the lateral brackets 10, 11 are shown in Figure 1 in its installed position. The bow springs 3, 6 are constructed symmetrically, so that for reasons of clarity, only one half of the bow springs 3, 6 was provided with reference numerals. The bow spring 3 is inserted into the carrier part 7 in such a way that its tangential region 8 as well as the bracket 10 rest firmly on the carrier part 7. Here, the support part 7 is shaped such that the elevation 4 of the bow spring 3 is hineinbewegbar in a cavity 12 of the support member 7 when the molded part 1 is rotated while the elevation 4 is moved over the wave-shaped profile 5 of the molded part 1. The bow spring 3 generated on the control element via the molded part 1 and connected in this embodiment to the molded part 1 shaft 13 for the operator on the knob, the catch.
Mittels der Bügelfeder 6, die in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel diametral im Trägerteil 7 gehalten ist, wird hingegen neben einer zusätzlichen Rast ein Rast- oder Klickgeräusch erzeugt. Der tangentiale Bereich 9 der Bügelfeder 6 liegt ebenfalls am Trägerteil 7 an wohingegen die Bügel 11 mit Spiel zum Trägerteil 7 ausgelegt sind. Zwischen dem Bügel 11 und der Wand 14 liegt ein Spiel vor, das bevorzugt 0,1 mm beträgt. Durch dieses lose Halten der Bügelfeder 6 springt die Erhebung 15 zeitverzögert zur Erhebung 4 in die entsprechende Rastmulde 5 des Formteils 1 und erzeugt durch ihr Spiel 16 ein Rastgeräusch, das für den Bediener als Klicken wahrnehmbar ist.By means of the bow spring 6, which is held diametrically in the carrier part 7 in this embodiment, however, a detent or click sound is generated in addition to an additional catch. The tangential region 9 of the bow spring 6 is also located on the support member 7 whereas the bracket 11 are designed with play to the support part 7. Between the bracket 11 and the wall 14 is a game, which is preferably 0.1 mm. By this loose holding the bow spring 6, the survey 15 jumps time to survey 4 in the corresponding locking recess 5 of the molding 1 and generated by their game 16 a locking noise, which is perceptible to the operator as clicking.
Darüber hinaus ist es vorstellbar, an das Formteil 1 eine zylindrische Verlängerung anzuformen, wobei an die Verlängerung sich radial erstreckende Segmente einstückig angeformt sind. So sind beispielsweise sechs gleichgroße, regelmäßig am Umfang angeformte Segmente an der Verlängerung anbringbar. In addition, it is conceivable to form a cylindrical extension to the molded part 1, wherein radially extending segments are integrally formed on the extension. Thus, for example, six equal, regularly formed on the circumference segments attached to the extension.
