Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a switching and/or adjusting element for an appliance, especially for a domestic appliance, for switching and/or adjusting an operation parameter of the appliance by rotating an adjusting knob around an axis, having a switch being located below a plate element and having an axle extending through a bore in the plate element, wherein the adjusting knob is mounted at the distal end of the axle above the plate element and remote from the switch.
- Especially domestic appliances often need a switching element of the kind mentioned above. For example the temperature or intensity of a heating element of a domestic oven can be selected or adjusted by turning a disc to a definite angular position. After the respective position is reached a pushbutton can be pressed to e. g. activate the power supply.
- In pre-known designs the inner parts of a hob are mounted and wired into a container. The assembly the gets covered by a metal or ceramic plate. An autarchy hob gets its own electrical switches, either a so-called touch-electronics or an electromechanical one. The latter shows an axis, controlled by an attached knob and causes deviation in term of concentricity between the knob and symbol printing on the plate, reasoned by indirect positioning between the switch axis and the plate bore.
- Therefore, it is an object of the invention to improve a switching and/or adjusting element of the kind mentioned above so that the mounting is facilitated and an optimized operation is possible. The axle of the switch should be well guided through the passage of the plate.
- The solution of this object according to the invention is characterized in that the passage of the axle through the bore in the plate element is equipped with means for arranging the axle relatively to the bore.
- Preferably, the means for arranging the axle relatively to the bore comprises a socket element being fixed in the bore in the plate element and further comprises a bush element being insertable into the socket element.
- The bush element can have an outer circumference and a bore, wherein the outer circumference is arranged concentrically in a reception in the socket element.
- The axle has in one embodiment a cylindrical outer surface or a circular cross-section.
- In a preferred embodiment an outer surface of the axle has a cylindrical part of a diameter, measured between two opposite points through and orthogonally to the cylinder axis, and a flat part having a distance, measured through and orthogonally to the cylindrical axis or rotational axis, to the opposite line on the cylindrical part. In other words, the outer surface of the axle has a cylindrical basic shape of diameter and a cut away flat portion at one side spaced away, again at a distance from an opposite line on the cylindrical basic shape, or the axle has a circumference in cross-section composed of a circular section of diameter and a linear section being spaced away at a distance from an opposite point on the circular section. The distance of the flat or linear part is smaller than the (cylindrical) diameter of the axle.
- The bore in the bush element preferably has a diameter which is essentially the same as the (cylindrical) diameter of the axle, in particular by a tolerance of at most 5 %, preferably at most 2 %. In the aforementioned asymmetric embodiment of the axle with the flat or linear part of the axle outer surface there is enough degree of freedom for insertion of the axle due to the space in between the flat part and the inner surface of the bore, but the axle is nevertheless radially fixed and stabilised along the rotational axis and held in the bore along its cylindrical surface.
- The socket element can have at least one sealing section extending radially outwards and extending radially beyond the bore in the plate element. In particular, one sealing section can be arranged above and one sealing section can be arranged below the plate element.
- The socket element can further have a bearing section extending radially inwards for supporting the bush element. It can further have a fixing section extending radially inwards for securing the bush element inserted into the socket element axially. Finally, it can have a centre section extending radially inwards for centering the bush element when inserted into the socket element. The bush element can have a double-T-shape in axial or cross section.
- The socket element is preferably made from rubber material. The bush element can be made from plastic material; the plastic material can be a thermoplastic material.
- The plate element is preferably a glass plate, a ceramic plate or a metal plate.
- The switch can also have a switching function when the axle is pressed in axial direction by the adjusting knob.
- The preferred application of the suggested switching and/or adjusting element is a domestic oven.
- By fixing a mechanical switch with degrees of freedom in x- and y-direction (i. e. in the plane of the plate element) into the container in a direct or indirect way, possibilities for adjustment in terms of concentricity to pass-through-hole (passage) and therefore to the printed design on the cooker plate (plate element) are given.
- For the mentioned implementation, a common used overflow socket, preferably made from rubber, can be arranged in the plate hole (bore) and got additional inner geometry to work as a resilient intake for the radial guide bush made preferably from plastic.
- These two parts provide the mentioned guiding and positioning features for the switch axle and in the end for the attached knob. Thus, freedom in x-and y-direction (i. e. in the plane of the plate element) and z-fixation (i. e. perpendicular to the plate element) is defined by a carrier, which provides a panel for mounting the switches in their correct depth as well as for positioning of printed circuit boards, equipped e. g. with LEDs and showing an operation status.
- The proposed implementation considers production tolerances and fulfils high demands in terms of haptical appearance.
- Thus, concentricity is ensured and the haptical performance is improved. Because the axis protrusion gets stiffness the attached knob reduces the tendency to wobble. The mounting direction and wiring remain inside the container, which holds the switch.
- In the drawings an embodiment of the invention is depicted.

- In
FIG 1 a switching and/or adjustingelement 1 of a domestic oven is shown by which an operation parameter of the domestic appliance can be adjusted and activated. For adjusting the parameter anadjustment knob 2 is employed. Theadjustment knob 2 has a substantial cylindrical shape. InFIG 2 tillFIG 5 , theknob 2 is show from the top side 2' as well as from thebottom side 2". Theknob 2 can be turned around anaxis 3 which is arranged vertically. Theknob 2 is connected with anaxle 6 which in turn is connected with aswitch 4. - The
axle 6 penetrates aplate element 5 which is a ceramic plate of a hob in the specific embodiment. Consequently, theknob 2 is above theplate element 5, theswitch 4 is below it. - For penetration of the
axle 6, theplate element 5 has abore 7 of substantial circular shape. - To allow a relative movement of the
axle 6 during assembly of the system in the plane of the plate element 5 (which is often defined as the x-y-plane) means 8, 9 are supplied for arranging theaxle 6 relatively to thebore 7. - Those means 8, 9 consist of a
socket element 8 in which abush element 9 is inserted. The specific and preferred design becomes apparent from the figures. - The
bush element 9 has anouter circumference 10 of substantial cylindrical shape. Furthermore, there is acylindrical bore 11 in thebush element 9. As can be seen inFIG 1 thebush element 9 has a double-T-shaped cross section. - The
socket element 8 has areception 12 for receiving thebush element 9. More specifically, thebush element 9 can be inserted into thesocket element 8 as shown inFIG 1 . For securely holding and positioning thebush element 9 in thereception 12 of thesocket element 8 thesocket element 8 has abearing section 15 which is formed as a extension of thesocket element 8 extending radially inwards and forming an axial support for thebush element 9. - Furthermore, for centering the
bush element 9 in thereception 12 of the socket element 8 acentre section 17 is provided in thesocket element 8 which is a nose-like protuberance which makes sure that thebush element 9 is located concentrically to thereception 12 of thesocket element 8. - Finally, to ensure that the inserted
bush element 9 remains in place thesocket element 8 has a fixingsection 16, which is a protrusion extending radially inwards and being located in the axial end region of thebush element 9 when being inserted into thesocket element 8. Consequently, the fixingsection 16 acts as a snap-fit connection when thebush element 9 is pushed into its final position. - To make sure that the
socket element 8 is arranged in a leak-proof manner, it has two sealingsections 13 and 14. The sealing section 13 is arranged in the upper axial end region of thesocket element 8 and seals the upper surface of theplate element 5 to thesocket element 8. The sealingsection 14 is arranged in the lower axial end region of thesocket element 8 and seals the lower surface of theplate element 5. - The
axle 6 shown has a cylindrical outer surface having a diameter denoted with d and a flat or cut away part extending along its length or axially having a distance a to the furthest line or point of the cylindrical part. The diameter of thebore 11 in thebush element 9 is marked with D, seeFIG 1 . This diameter D of thebore 11 is essentially the same as the diameter d, with a tolerance of at most 5 % or 2 %, typically at most 1 %. Although theaxle 6 is held at its cylindrical surface in thebore 11 and stabilised in its position with respect to the rotational axis it nevertheless is spaced apart by the distance D-a from the other side of thebore 11 facilitating insertion of theaxle 6. - Thus, the passage of the
axle 6 through thebore 7 in theplate element 5 is equipped with themeans axle 6 relatively to thebore 7. More specifically, those means comprises thesocket element 8 being fixed in thebore 7 in theplate element 5 and thebush element 9 being insertable into thesocket element 8. - In
FIG 1 not depicted is a container which holds and fixes theswitch 4 relatively to theplate element 5. -
FIG 2 tillFIG 6 show the different stages during assembly of the switching and/or adjustingelement 1. - In
FIG 2 a fully exploded view is depicted whish shows the single parts of theelement 1. - According to
FIG 3 thesocket element 8 is inserted into thebore 7 in theplate element 5. As can be seen inFIG 4 , thebush element 9 is inserted into thesocket element 8. - Then, the
axle 6 connected to theswitch 4 is pushed from the bottom side of theplate element 5 through thebush element 9, seeFIG 5 . Then, theswitch 4 is fixed by means of a container (not depicted). - Finally, the
knob 2 is mounted at the distal end of theaxle 6 to complete the assembly of the whole switching and/or adjustingelement 1. -
