Abstract

The housing (1) has a sliding switch comprising a sliding element (3) that partially projects through an opening (4). A flank (5) is provided on both sides of the opening parallel to the movement direction of the sliding switch. The flank is provided for a lateral protection of the sliding switch against an inadvertent operation. The flank exhibits a wedge-shaped catch mechanism, which limits switching of the flank between two adjoin positions. The catch mechanism is movably designed so that the catch mechanism is switched to a position.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Gehäuse mit einem Schiebeschalter mit zumindest drei Stellungen, wobei das Gehäuse eine Öffnung aufweist, durch die ein Schiebe-Element des Schiebeschalters zumindest teilweise herausragt.The invention relates to a housing with a slide switch with at least three positions, wherein the housing has an opening through which a sliding element of the slide switch protrudes at least partially.

Solche Gehäuse mit Schiebeschalter werden häufig in Speichersubsystemen frontseitig eingebaut. Diese Schiebeschalter haben meistens drei Stellungen, nämlich die 0-Stellung (AUS), in der das System völlig ausgeschaltet wird, die I-Stellung (EIN), in der das System angeschaltet und im lokalen Betrieb ist, und die R-Stellung (REMOTE), in der das System auch in Betrieb ist, aber über LAN kontrolliert werden kann. Normalerweise liegt die O-Stellung an der ersten Stelle des Schiebeschalters, d.h. nicht in der Mitte.Such housing with slide switch are often installed in Speichersubsystemen front. These slide switches usually have three positions, namely the 0 position (OFF), in which the system is completely switched off, the I position (ON), in which the system is switched on and in local mode, and the R position (REMOTE ), in which the system is also in operation, but can be controlled via LAN. Normally, the O position is at the first location of the slide switch, i. not in the middle.

Da Schiebeschalter dieser Art frontseitig eingebaut werden, ist die Gefahr eines unbeabsichtigten Verschiebens des Schiebe-Elements relativ groß. Zusätzlich können die Folgen eines unbeabsichtigten Verschiebens des Schiebe-Elements sehr gravierend sein, zum Beispiel wenn das Speichersubsystem dadurch vollständig ausgeschaltet wird, ohne dass die Daten vorher gespeichert wurden.Since slide switches of this type are installed at the front, the risk of unintentional displacement of the sliding element is relatively large. In addition, the consequences of unintentionally shifting the slide element can be very serious, for example, if the memory subsystem is thereby completely turned off without the data being previously stored.

Ein zweites Problem besteht darin, dass beim Umschalten von der I-Stellung (EIN) in die R-Stellung (REMOTE) oder umgekehrt versehentlich über das Ziel hinaus geschossen werden kann und das System dann unbeabsichtigt ganz ausgeschaltet wird.A second problem is that when switching from the I position (ON) to the R position (REMOTE) or vice versa, you may inadvertently shoot past the target and then inadvertently turn the system off completely.

Um ein unbeabsichtigtes Verschieben des Schiebe-Elements und ein versehentliches Ausschalten des Systems zu verhindern, ist daher eine Absicherung nötig.To prevent inadvertent shifting of the sliding element and accidental shutdown of the system, therefore, a hedge is necessary.

Bis jetzt sind Lösungen bekannt, bei denen die Absicherung als zusätzlicher Schalter ausgebildet ist. Der Schiebeschalter ist dabei im normalen Gebrauch effektiv zweistufig, und nur nach dem Drücken eines Sicherungsknopfes kann eine dritte Stellung angefahren werden. Diese Lösung wird häufig bei Videokameras angewendet. Nachteilig an dieser Art von Lösungen sind der damit verbundene Aufwand und die Kosten bei der Herstellung. Der zusätzliche Schalter benötigt in der Regel zusätzliche Elektronik.So far, solutions are known in which the hedge is designed as an additional switch. The slide switch is effectively in two stages in normal use, and only after pressing a safety button, a third position can be approached. This solution is commonly used on video cameras. A disadvantage of this type of solutions are the associated costs and the cost of manufacture. The additional switch usually requires additional electronics.

Daher liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Gehäuse mit einem Schiebeschalter mit zumindest drei Stellungen zu beschreiben, welches eine einfachere und kostengünstigere Absicherung gegen versehentliches Betätigen ermöglicht als es bisher üblich war.Therefore, the invention has for its object to describe a housing with a slide switch with at least three positions, which allows easier and more cost-effective protection against accidental actuation than was usual.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass beidseitig der Öffnung parallel zu der Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebeschalters jeweils eine Flanke vorgesehen ist, die zum seitlichen Schutz des Schiebeschalters gegen ein versehentliches Betätigen dient.This object is achieved in that on both sides of the opening parallel to the direction of movement of the slide switch is provided in each case a flank, which serves for the lateral protection of the slide switch against accidental actuation.

Die Flanken sind bevorzugt zumindest so hoch ausgebildet, dass das Schiebe-Element nicht über die Flanken hinausragt. Somit ist das Schiebe-Element von oben und von unten gegen versehentliches Verschieben geschützt, wenn eine Person oder ein Gegenstand unbeabsichtigt den Schiebeschalter berührt.The flanks are preferably formed at least so high that the sliding element does not protrude beyond the flanks. Thus, the sliding element is protected from above and from below against accidental displacement when a person or an object inadvertently touches the slide switch.

Eine zusätzliche Absicherung gegen unbeabsichtigtes Schieben des Schiebe-Elements in eine unerwünschte Stellung kann in dem Gehäuse integriert werden. Nach dieser bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung weist eine der Flanken eine Verrastung auf, die das Umschalten zwischen zwei nebeneinander liegenden Stellungen einschränkt. Die Verrastung ist beweglich ausgebildet, damit sie wieder aufgehoben werden kann, und das Schiebe-Element in eine direkt daneben liegende, dritte Stellung geschoben werden kann. Bevorzugt ist die eine Verrastung aufweisende Flanke federnd ausgebildet.An additional safeguard against unintentional pushing of the sliding element into an undesired position can be integrated in the housing. According to this preferred embodiment of the invention, one of the flanks has a latching which restricts switching between two adjacent positions. The latch is movable so that it can be lifted again, and the sliding element can be pushed into a directly adjacent, third position. Preferably, the catch having a latching edge is resilient.

Nach einer dritten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die zwei Flanken durch eine Brücke verbunden, die eine Stellung des Schiebeschalters unterhalb der Brücke ermöglicht, aber verdeckt. Die Brücke verhindert ein Schieben des Schiebe-Elements über die Stellung unterhalb der Brücke hinaus, weil die Brücke quer zur Schiebe-Richtung liegt. Bei einem dreistufigen Schiebeschalter verdeckt die Brücke bevorzugt die mittlere Stellung des Schiebeschalters.According to a third embodiment of the invention, the two flanks are connected by a bridge which allows a position of the slide switch below the bridge, but concealed. The bridge prevents the sliding element from sliding beyond the position below the bridge because the bridge is transverse to the direction of sliding. In a three-stage slide switch, the bridge preferably conceals the middle position of the slide switch.

Alle drei Ausführungsformen der Erfindung können kostengünstig und mit wenig Aufwand hergestellt werden, da die Absicherung direkt am Gehäuse angespritzt werden kann, was kaum Mehrkosten für das Spritzgießwerkzeug mit sich bringt, oder gleich mit dem Gehäuse gespritzt werden kann, was einmalig eine neue Spritzform für das Gehäuse nötig macht. Weder Änderungen am Schalter noch an der Leiterplatte dahinter sind notwendig.All three embodiments of the invention can be produced inexpensively and with little effort, since the hedge can be molded directly on the housing, which hardly brings any additional costs for the injection mold, or can be injected with the same housing, which once a new injection mold for the Housing necessary. Neither changes to the switch nor to the circuit board behind it are necessary.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen sowie auch in der nachfolgenden Figurenbeschreibung offenbart. Anhand von drei in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen wird die Erfindung nun näher erläutert.Further advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the subclaims as well as in the following description of the figures. Based on three in the Drawings illustrated embodiments, the invention will now be explained in more detail.

In den Zeichnungen zeigen:

Figur 1a und 1b

Figur 2
eine perspektivische dreidimensionale Ansicht eines Ausschnittes eines Gehäuses mit einem Schiebeschalter, zwei Flanken und einer die Flanken verbindenden Brücke und
Figur 3

In the drawings show:
FIGS. 1a and 1b
each a perspective three-dimensional view of a housing with slide switch and two flanks,
FIG. 2
a perspective three-dimensional view of a section of a housing with a slide switch, two flanks and a bridge connecting the flanks and
FIG. 3
a perspective three-dimensional view of a section of a housing with a slide switch and two edges, in which a flank is resilient.

Figur 1a zeigt einen Schiebeschalter mit einem Gehäuse 1 für den Schiebeschalter, das frontseitig in einem Teil eines Speichersubsystemgehäuses 2 eingebaut ist. FIG. 1a shows a slide switch with a housing 1 for the slide switch, which is installed on the front side in a part of a Speicherububsystemsgehäuses 2.

Figur 1b zeigt einen vergrößerten Ausschnitt des Schiebeschaltergehäuses 1. Der Schiebeschalter weist ein Schiebe-Element 3 auf, das durch eine Öffnung 4 im Gehäuse 1 teilweise herausragt. Der Schiebeschalter hat drei Stellungen, die linear nebeneinander liegen. Parallel zu der Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebe-Elements 3 weist das Gehäuse 1 beidseitig der Öffnung 4 jeweils eine Flanke 5 auf. Die Flanken 5 sind zumindest so hoch ausgebildet, dass das Schiebe-Element 3 nicht über die Flanken 5 hinausragt. Damit schützen die Flanken 5 das Schiebe-Element 3 gegen ein versehentliches Betätigen von oben oder von unten. Um den Benutzer weniger zu stören, sind die Enden der Flanken 5 abgerundet oder abgeschrägt. In diesen Fällen sind die Flanken 5 länger als die Öffnung 4 ausgebildet, sodass das Schiebe-Element 3 an beiden äußeren Stellungen noch von nahezu der ganzen Höhe der Flanken 5 geschützt wird. Das heißt, die Abrundung beziehungsweise Abschrägung 6 beginnt ungefähr an dem Teil der Flanke 5, das über die Öffnung 4 hinausgeht. FIG. 1b shows an enlarged section of the slide switch housing 1. The slide switch has a sliding element 3, which protrudes through an opening 4 in the housing 1 partially. The slide switch has three positions that are linear next to each other. Parallel to the direction of movement of the sliding element 3, the housing 1 has a flank 5 on each side of the opening 4. The flanks 5 are formed at least so high that the sliding element 3 does not protrude beyond the flanks 5. In order to protect the flanks 5, the sliding element 3 against accidental operation from above or from below. To less disturb the user, the ends of the flanks 5 are rounded or bevelled. In these cases, the flanks 5 are formed longer than the opening 4, so that the sliding element 3 is protected at both outer positions of almost the entire height of the flanks 5. That is, the rounding or chamfering 6 starts approximately at that part of the flank 5 that goes beyond the opening 4.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Schiebeschalter mit Gehäuse 1 wie in den Figuren 1a und 1b, jedoch zusätzlich mit einer schützenden Brücke 7, die die zwei Flanken 5 verbindet. Die Brücke 7 ist so ausgebildet, dass das Schiebe-Element 3 unter die Brücke 7 geschoben werden kann und dann unterhalb der Brücke seitlich weiter geschoben werden kann, zum Beispiel mit einem Kugelschreiber oder einem anderen Werkzeug, das unter die Brücke 7 passt. Die Brücke 7 verbirgt somit eine Stellung des Schiebeschalters. FIG. 2 shows a slide switch with housing 1 as in the FIGS. 1a and 1b but additionally with a protective bridge 7 connecting the two flanks 5. The bridge 7 is designed so that the sliding element 3 can be pushed under the bridge 7 and then laterally pushed further below the bridge, for example with a ballpoint pen or other tool that fits under the bridge 7. The bridge 7 thus hides a position of the slide switch.

In Figur 2 ist die mittlere Stellung des Schiebeschalters mit der Brücke 7 verdeckt. Diese Stellung wird bevorzugt, weil die 0-Stellung normalerweise als erste Stellung oder dritte Stellung angeordnet ist und eine Brücke 7 über der mittleren Stellung vor einem versehentlichen Schalten zu der ersten und dritten Stellung schützt. In diesem Beispiel ist die erste Stellung die 0-Stellung (AUS), die zweite Stellung die R-Stellung (REMOTE) und die dritte Stellung die I-Stellung (EIN). Mit einem Finger kann der Schalter von AUS bis REMOTE geschoben werden. Um weiter von REMOTE zu EIN zu schalten, muss das Schiebe-Element 3 mit Hilfe eines Werkzeugs (zum Beispiel eines Kugelschreibers) unterhalb der Brücke 7 weiter geschoben werden. Aber wichtiger ist, dass das Schiebe-Element 3 von der I-Stellung (EIN) einfach mit dem Finger zu der mittleren R-Stellung (REMOTE) geschoben werden kann, ohne dass man versehentlich in die 0-Stellung (AUS) gelangt, weil die Brücke 7 dies verhindert.In FIG. 2 the middle position of the slide switch with the bridge 7 is hidden. This position is preferred because the 0 position is normally located as the first position or third position and protects a bridge 7 above the mid position from accidental shifting to the first and third positions. In this example, the first position is the 0 position (OFF), the second position is the R position (REMOTE) and the third position is the I position (ON). With one finger, the switch can be pushed from OFF to REMOTE. In order to switch from REMOTE to ON, the sliding element 3 must be pushed further below the bridge 7 with the aid of a tool (for example a ballpoint pen). But more important is that the sliding element 3 from the I position (ON) can simply be pushed with a finger to the middle R position (REMOTE), without accidentally going to the 0 position (OFF), because the bridge 7 prevents this.

Figur 3 zeigt ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, bei dem eine Flanke 5a federnd ausgebildet ist und eine keilförmige Verrastung 8 aufweist. Wenn das Schiebe-Element 3 in der ersten Stellung ist, ist die federnd ausgebildete Flanke 5a in einem gespannten Zustand. Die keilförmige Verrastung 7 erlaubt, dass das Schiebe-Element 3 einfach ohne Weiteres von der ersten Stellung in die mittlere Stellung geschoben werden kann. Zwischen der mittleren Stellung und der dritten Stellung kann auch wie üblich hin und her geschoben werden. Um das Schiebe-Element 3 wieder in die erste Stellung, nämlich die 0-Stellung, zu schieben, muss zuerst die federnde Flanke 5a senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung des Schiebe-Elements 3 gedrückt werden, sodass das Schiebe-Element 3 von der Verrastung 7 befreit wird und dann weiter in die erste Stellung geschoben werden kann. Die federnde Flanke 5a kann dann losgelassen werden und liegt an dem Schiebe-Element 3 in gespanntem Zustand an. FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment of the invention, in which a flank 5a is resilient and has a wedge-shaped latching 8. When the sliding member 3 is in the first position, the resiliently formed flank 5a is in a tensioned state. The wedge-shaped latching 7 allows the sliding element 3 can be easily pushed easily from the first position to the middle position. Between the middle position and the third position can also be pushed back and forth as usual. To push the sliding element 3 back into the first position, namely the 0 position, the resilient edge 5a must first be pressed perpendicular to the direction of movement of the sliding element 3 so that the sliding element 3 is freed from the catch 7 and then pushed further into the first position. The resilient edge 5a can then be released and is applied to the sliding element 3 in a tensioned state.
