Das Betätigungselement ragt aus dem Einbaurahmen heraus, so daß ein im Hinblick auf das Elektrogerät gerätespezifisch ausgestaltetes Betätigungsorgan am Betätigungselement, beispielsweise durch Verrasten, Verclipsen o. dgl., befestigbar ist. Zur Realisierung der externen Drückerführung ist am Einbaurahmen eine Führung für das mittels des Betätigungselements bewegbare Betätigungsorgan befindlich.The switch unit is fastened in the receptacle of the mounting frame.

Zusammenfassend kann mit anderen Worten gesagt werden, daß der erfindungsgemäße Elektrowerkzeugschalter in einer modularen Bauweise mit einem Einbaurahmen ausgestaltet ist. Ein Basismodul in kleinstmöglicher Bauform beinhaltet sämtliche Schalterfunktionen, gegebenenfalls inklusive einer Elektronik, und ist somit selbständig funktionsfähig. Der Einbaurahmen ermöglicht und erleichtert den Einbau in das Elektrowerkzeug. Erweiterte Schalterfunktionen sind in den Einbaurahmen integrierbar.In summary, it can be said in other words that the power tool switch according to the invention is designed in a modular design with a mounting frame. A basic module in the smallest possible design includes all switch functions, including electronics, if necessary, and is therefore self-sufficient. The mounting frame allows and facilitates installation in the power tool. Extended switch functions can be integrated in the mounting frame.
Weiterhin können beim erfindungsgemäßen Schalter die auf demselben elektrischen Potential befindlichen spannungsführenden Teile des Schalters, und zwar insbesondere Teile des Kontaktsystems und/oder mit dem Kontaktsystem in Verbindung stehende Teile, im wesentlichen als jeweils ein Einzelteil ausgebildet sein. Mit anderen Worten erfolgt eine Reduzierung der Teilezahl des Elektrowerkzeugschalters durch Konzentration der Funktionen gleichen Potentials auf jeweils ein weitgehend einstückiges Einzelteil. Vorteilhafterweise läßt sich dadurch eine Verringerung der Kosten sowie eine Reduzierung des Bauraums für den Schalter erzielen.Furthermore, in the case of the switch according to the invention, the live parts of the switch which are at the same electrical potential, in particular parts of the contact system and / or parts which are in contact with the contact system, can essentially be designed as one individual part. In other words, there is a reduction in the number of parts of the power tool switch by concentrating the functions of the same potential on each one largely one-piece item. Advantageously, this can achieve a reduction in costs and a reduction of the installation space for the switch.
Zweckmäßigerweise weist das Kontaktsystem einen als Einzelteil ausgebildeten Einschaltkontakt auf, wobei der Einschaltkontakt aus einem Festkontakt, der dem beweglichen Einschaltkontaktträger zugeordnet ist, sowie einem Netzanschluß besteht. Der Netzanschluß kann je nach Erfordernis in der Art eines Push-In-Ausschlusses, eines Flachsteckanschlusses, eines Schraubanschlusses, eines Schneidklemmanschlusses o. dgl. ausgestaltet sein.The contact system expediently has a switch-on contact designed as an individual part, wherein the switch-on contact consists of a fixed contact, which is assigned to the movable switch-on contact carrier, and a mains connection. The power supply can be configured as required in the manner of a push-in exclusion, a tab terminal, a screw terminal, a insulation displacement connection o.
Enthält der Schalter eine integrierte Elektronik als Steuer- und/oder Regelelektronik für den Betrieb des Elektromotors des Elektrogeräts, so wird auch dann eine Reduzierung des Bauraums für den Schalter erzielt. Es bietet sich dann zusätzlich an, daß das Kontaktsystem einen als Einzelteil ausgebildeten Überbrückungskontakt aufweist, wobei der Überbrückungskontakt aus einem Festkontakt, der dem beweglichen Überbrückungskontaktträger zugeordnet ist, sowie einem Motoranschluß besteht. Der Motoranschluß kann je nach Erfordernis in der Art eines Push-In-Ausschlusses, eines Flachsteckanschlusses, eines Schraubanschlusses, eines Schneidklemm-Anschlusses o. dgl. ausgestaltet sein. Desweiteren bietet es sich an, daß der Überbrückungskontakt eine Kontaktfeder zur Spannungsversorgung der Elektronik aufweist.If the switch contains integrated electronics as control and / or regulating electronics for the operation of the electric motor of the electrical appliance, then a reduction in the installation space for the switch is also achieved. It then lends itself in addition to the fact that the contact system has a bridging contact designed as an individual part, wherein the bridging contact consists of a fixed contact, which is assigned to the movable bridging contact carrier, and a motor connection. The motor terminal can be configured as required in the manner of a push-in exclusion, a tab terminal, a screw terminal, a insulation displacement terminal o. Furthermore, it makes sense that the bridging contact has a contact spring for powering the electronics.
In bekannter Art und Weise kann die Elektronik in der Art eines Dickschichtmoduls auf einem Keramikträger mit integrierten Anschlüssen ausgestaltet sein. Kostengünstig ist jedoch auch möglich, die Elektronik auf einer herkömmlichen Leiterplatte anzuordnen.In a known manner, the electronics can be designed in the manner of a thick film module on a ceramic carrier with integrated terminals. Cost-effective, however, is also possible to arrange the electronics on a conventional circuit board.
Zur weitergehenden Teilereduzierung kann das Kontaktsystem ein als Einzelteil ausgebildetes Multifunktionsteil aufweisen, wobei das Multifunktionsteil wenigstens ein Lager für die beweglichen Kontaktträger umfaßt. Zweckmäßigerweise umfaßt das Multifunktionsteil den beweglichen Einschaltkontaktträger, den beweglichen Überbrückungskontaktträger, falls ein solcher vorhanden ist, sowie die Federung der beweglichen Kontaktträger. Desweiteren bietet es sich an, daß das Multifunktionsteil eine weitere Kontaktfeder zur Spannungsversorgung der Elektronik aufweist. Ist ein Entstörkondensator für die Elektronik vorgesehen, so kann das Multifunktionsteil je nach Erfordernis einen in der Art eines Push-In-Anschlusses, eines Gabelanschlusses, eines Schneidklemmanschlusses o. dgl. ausgegebildeten Anschluß für den Kondensator enthalten.For further partial reduction, the contact system may have a multifunction part designed as a single part, wherein the multifunction part comprises at least one bearing for the movable contact carriers. Conveniently, the multifunction part comprises the movable Einschaltkontaktträger, the movable bridging contact carrier, if any, as well as the suspension of the movable contact carrier. Furthermore, it makes sense that the multifunction part has a further contact spring for powering the electronics. If an interference suppression capacitor is provided for the electronics, then the multifunctional part can, depending on Requirement a formed in the manner of a push-in connection, a fork terminal, an insulation displacement connection o. The like. Connection for the capacitor included.
Schließlich können noch weitere spannungsführende Teile des Schalters, die auf demselben Potential befindlich sind, als jeweils ein Einzelteil ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere bietet es sich dabei an, den weiteren Netzanschluß sowie den weiteren Motoranschluß in der Art eines Stützpunkts auszugestalten. Der Stützpunkt kann dann noch einen weiteren Anschluß für den Kondensator enthalten, wobei diese Anschlüsse je nach Erfordernis in der Art eines Push-In-Anschlusses, eines Flachsteckanschlusses, eines Schraubanschlusses, eines Schneidklemm-Anschlusses o. dgl. ausgestaltet sein können.Finally, further live parts of the switch, which are located at the same potential, may be formed as an individual part. In particular, it makes sense to design the further mains connection and the further motor connection in the manner of a support point. The base can then contain a further connection for the capacitor, these connections can be configured as required in the manner of a push-in connection, a tab terminal, a screw terminal, an insulation displacement connection o.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß der Schalter einen flexiblen modularen Aufbau aufweist. Das Basismodul kann eigenständig verwendet werden und ist als Standard in hohen Stückzahlen herstellbar, womit dieses kostengünstig wird. Lediglich ein individueller Einbaurahmen wird dann für den entsprechenden Einbau im Elektrowerkzeug notwendig. Der Einbaurahmen als Zusatzteil läßt sich dann ebenfalls kostenoptimiert für die jeweilige Anwendung bereitstellen. Insbesondere als Elektrowerkzeugschalter ist dieser Schalter für sämtliche Elektrowerkzeug-Anwendungen im Low-Cost-Bereich geeignet.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the switch has a flexible modular structure. The base module can be used independently and can be produced as a standard in high quantities, making this inexpensive. Only an individual mounting frame is then necessary for the corresponding installation in the power tool. The mounting frame as an additional part can then also provide cost optimized for the particular application. Especially as a power tool switch this switch is suitable for all power tool applications in the low-cost range.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen weiterhin darin, daß der Schalter durch Zusammenführung von potentialgleichen Teilen zu jeweils einem Einzelteil in der Art eines Multifunktionsteils eine sehr kleine Bauform aufweist. Aufgrund der wenigen Einzelteile, die zudem als kostengünstige Stanz-Biege-Teile aus entsprechenden Metallblechen herstellbar sind, ist der Aufwand bei Montage des Schalters geringer. Folglich handelt es sich um einen sehr kostengünstigen Schalter. Außerdem reduzieren sich bei Verringerung der Teilezahl die Übergangswiderstände im Schalter, womit dieser funktions- und ausfallssicherer ist. Insbesondere als Elektrowerkzeugschalter ist dieser für sämtliche Elektrowerkzeug-Anwendungen im Low-Cost-Bereich geeignet.The advantages achieved by the invention continue to be that the switch has a very small design by merging potential equal parts to each one item in the manner of a multi-function part. Due to the few items that are also produced as cost-effective stamped and bent parts from corresponding metal sheets, the cost of mounting the switch is lower. Consequently, it is a very inexpensive switch. In addition, reduce the contact resistance in the switch when reducing the number of parts, so this is functional and fail-safe. In particular, as a power tool switch this is suitable for all power tool applications in the low-cost area.
