Beim erfindungsgemäßen Schalter ist das Sperrelement am Deckel, und zwar in etwa senkrecht am Deckel abstehend angeordnet. In einer kompakten Ausbildung ist das Sperrelement in etwa U-förmig mit einem von Wandungen begrenzten Durchlaß ausgestaltet. Das Sperrelement weist weiterhin in einer einfachen Ausgestaltung einen Anschlag an einem Schenkel des U's für die Einschaltsperre auf. Darüberhinaus weist das Sperrelement eine Kulisse für die Arretierung auf. Das Gehäuse ist somit wahlweise zur Aufnahme der Einschaltsperre oder der Arretierung oder ohne Einschaltsperre / Arretierung geeignet. Vorteilhafterweise ist es durch diese besondere konstruktive Gestaltung möglich, alle drei genannten Funktionen in dasselbe Gehäuse zu integrieren, ohne daß diese Funktionen sich gegenseitig behindern, Dadurch werden Kosten gespart, da das SpritzgießWerkzeug für das Gehäuse ohne zusätzliche Werkzeugwechseleinsätze auskommt. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.In the switch according to the invention, the blocking element is arranged on the cover, namely approximately perpendicular to the lid projecting. In a compact design, the blocking element is configured in approximately U-shaped with a passage limited by walls. The blocking element further comprises, in a simple embodiment, a stop on a leg of the U for the switch-on. In addition, the blocking element on a backdrop for the lock on. The housing is thus suitable either for receiving the switch-lock or the lock or without switch-lock / lock. Advantageously, it is possible by this particular structural design to integrate all three functions mentioned in the same housing, without these functions interfere with each other, this costs are saved because the SpritzgießWerkzeug does not require additional tool change inserts for the housing. Further embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Sperrelement am Gehäuse derart angeordnet, daß das Sperrelement bei Bewegung des Betätigungsorgans in die Endstellung in eine Ausnehmung im Betätigungsorgan eintaucht, und zwar ohne Behinderung des Betätigungsorgans. Mit anderen Worten ist das Betätigungsorgan an der entsprechenden Stelle innen hohl ausgebildet und umfaßt das Sperrelement in der Endstellung, was zur Kompaktheit des Schalters beiträgt. Desweiteren kann das Gehäuse in herkömmlicher Weise einen Sockel, in dem das Kontaktsystem aufgenommen ist, sowie einen Deckel umfassen. Das Betätigungsorgan ist bewegbar, beispielsweise schwenkbar, am Deckel angeordnet. Schließlich kann der einfachen Bedienbarkeit halber durch den Benutzer sowie auch im Hinblick auf die Kompaktheit das Betätigungselement am Betätigungsorgan befindlich sein, Insbesondere ist das Betätigungselement am Betätigungsorgan bewegbar gelagert.Conveniently, the blocking element is arranged on the housing such that the locking element is immersed in movement of the actuating member in the end position in a recess in the actuating member, without obstruction of the actuating member. In other words, the actuating member is hollow at the corresponding point inside and comprises the locking element in the end position, which contributes to the compactness of the switch. Furthermore, the housing may conventionally include a socket in which the contact system is received and a cover. The actuator is movable, for example, pivotally mounted on the cover. Finally, the simple operability half by the user as well as in terms of compactness, the actuator may be located on the actuator, in particular, the actuator is movably mounted on the actuator.
Es bietet sich an, daß der Anschlag am Schenkel des U's teilweise in den Durchlaß hineinragend angeordnet ist. Desweiteren kann der Anschlag an dem dem Deckel abgewandten Ende des Durchlasses, in Bewegungsrichtung des Betätigungsorgans abstehend befindlich sein. Die Kulisse kann an der Basis des U's an dem dem Deckel zugewandten Ende des Durchlasses mit einer Ausnehmung angeordnet sein. Ein solcherart ausgebildetes Sperrelement bietet trotz einfacher Ausgestaltung sowohl die Funktionalität der Einschaltsperre als auch der Arretierung in einem einzigen Teil.It is advisable that the stop on the leg of the U is partially arranged projecting into the passage. Furthermore, the stop on the end facing away from the lid of the passage, in the direction of movement of the actuating member be overhanging. The gate can be arranged at the base of the U at the end of the passage facing the lid with a recess. Such trained locking element offers both simple functionality, both the functionality of the lock and the lock in a single part.
Das Betätigungselement für die Einschaltsperre besitzt einen beweglichen Gegenanschlag, wodurch in der Ausgangsstellung der Gegenanschlag in Anlage am Anschlag zur Sperrung der Bewegung des Betätigungsorgans anliegt. Mittels des Betätigungselements ist bei entsprechender Bedienung durch den Benutzer der Gegenanschlag außer Anlage am Anschlag bewegbar, was zur Freigabe der Bewegung des Betätigungsorgans führt. Erst dann kann das Betätigungsorgan von der Ausgangs- in die Endstellung bewegt werden, um das Elektrowerkzeug in Betrieb zu setzen, wobei dann der außer Anlage am Anschlag befindliche Gegenanschlag bei Bewegung des Betätigungsorgans ungehindert in den Durchlaß eintaucht. Das Betätigungselement für die Arretierung besitzt einen beweglichen Haken, wobei der Haken so schmal ausgebildet ist, daß dieser bei Bewegung des Betätigungsorgans am Anschlag vorbei in den Durchlaß eintaucht, Dadurch ist bei entsprechender Bedienung des Betätigungselements durch den Benutzer in der Endstellung des Betätigungsorgans der Haken in rastenden Eingriff mit der Kulisse bringbar. Durch den Hlintergriff des Hakens in der Ausnehmung wird dann das Betätigungsorgan in der Endstellung festgehalten, was folglich zur Arretierung des Betätigungsorgans in der Endstellung führt.The actuating element for the switch-on has a movable counter-stop, whereby in the initial position of the counter-stop in abutment against the stop for blocking the movement of the actuator. By means of the actuating element, the counter-stop can be moved out of contact with the stop when actuated by the user, which leads to the release of the movement of the actuating member. Only then, the actuator can be moved from the output to the end position to put the power tool in operation, in which case the counter stop located out of abutment against the stop dips unhindered in the passage during movement of the actuator. The actuating element for locking has a movable hook, wherein the hook is formed so narrow that it dips into the passage during movement of the actuator past the stop, Thus, with appropriate operation of the actuator by the user in the end position of the actuator of the hook in latching engagement with the backdrop can be brought. By the Hlintergriff of the hook in the recess then the actuator is held in the end position, which consequently leads to the locking of the actuator in the end position.
Es bietet es sich auch an, eine Druckfeder für die Rückstellung des Betätigungsorgans aus der Endstellung in die Ausgangsstellung vorzusehen, wobei die Druckfeder zwischen dem Deckel sowie einer Halterung am Betätigungsorgan angeordnet ist. Die Druckfeder kann darüberhinaus zwischen den beiden Schenkeln, an der der Basis des U's abgewandten Seite des Sperrelements aufgenommen sein, so daß die Druckfeder bei Bewegung des Betätigungsorgans entsprechend geführt ist. Das Sperrelement spart dann ein zusätzliches Führungselement für die Druckfeder ein.It also lends itself to provide a compression spring for the return of the actuator from the end position to the starting position, wherein the compression spring between the lid and a holder on the actuator is arranged. The compression spring can also be added between the two legs, on the side remote from the base of the U side of the locking element, so that the compression spring is guided accordingly during movement of the actuating member. The blocking element then saves an additional guide element for the compression spring.
Um eine ergonomische Bedienung des Betätigungselements durch den Benutzer zu gestatten, ist das Betätigungselement am Betätigungsorgan verschwenkbar gelagert. Das Betätigungselement kann ebenfalls mittels einer Feder zur Rückstellung beaufschlagt sein. Der kompakten Anordnung halber bietet es sich an, die Feder an der der Druckfeder abgewandten Seite der Halterung anzuordnen.To allow ergonomic operation of the actuator by the user, the actuator is pivotally mounted on the actuator. The actuating element can also be acted upon by means of a spring for return. The compact arrangement, it is advisable to arrange the spring on the side facing away from the compression spring of the holder.
In einer kostengünstigen Ausgestaltung ist das Sperrelement mitsamt Anschlag und Kulisse einstückig ausgebildet. In herkömmlicher Weise bestehen das Sperrelement und/oder der Deckel und/oder der Sockel aus einem thermoplastischem Kunststoff, welche mittels Spritzgießen hergestellt werden. Zweckmäßigerweise werden dann das Sperrelement sowie der Deckel bei deren Herstellung einstückig hergestellt.In a low-cost embodiment, the blocking element is integrally formed together with the stop and gate. In a conventional manner, the blocking element and / or the lid and / or the base made of a thermoplastic material, which are produced by injection molding. Conveniently, the locking element and the lid are then produced in one piece during their manufacture.
Die Einschaltsperre kann zusätzlich als Transportsicherung für das Betätigungsorgan wirken. Damit ist ein unbeabsichtigtes Einschalten während des Transports des Elektrowerkzeugs verhindert, was die Sicherheit für den Benutzer steigert.The switch-lock can also act as a transport lock for the actuator. This prevents unintentional switching on during transport of the power tool, which increases the safety for the user.
Zusammenfassend läßt sich für eine besonders bevorzugte Ausgestaltung feststellen, daß eine Art von Multifunktionsdeckel für einen Geräteschalter mit integrierter Einschaltsperre, Transportsicherung und/oder Arretierung im Betätigungsorgan, das beispielsweise in der Art eines Drückers ausgestaltet ist, geschaffen ist.In summary, it can be found for a particularly preferred embodiment that a type of multi-function lid for a device switch with integrated switch-lock, transport lock and / or locking in the actuator, which is designed for example in the manner of a pusher created.
Ist der Schalter ohne diese Sonderfunktionen bestückt, so ist der Anschlag für die Einschaltsperre bzw. für die Transportsicherung ohne Funktion und auch die Kulisse für die Arretierung ist ohne Funktion.If the switch is equipped without these special functions, then the stop for the switch-on lock or for the transport lock without function and the backdrop for the lock is without function.
Ist der Schalter mit einer Arretierung bestückt, so taucht der schmale Arrerierhebel bei der Betätigung des Drückers in die Kulisse ein. Wenn der Arretierhebel betätigt wird, schwenkt der Haken in die Kulisse ein, womit der Schalter arretiert ist. Ein wiederholtes Betätigen des Drückers löst die Arretierung durch die Rückstellfeder. Wird die Arretierung zuerst und erst dann der Drücker betätigt, so gleitet der Arretierhaken auf der Kulisse ungehindert nach unten, womit die Funktion Arretierung möglich ist.If the switch is equipped with a detent, then the narrow Arrerierhebel immersed in the operation of the pusher in the scenery. When the locking lever is actuated, the hook pivots into the gate, whereby the switch is locked. Repeated actuation of the trigger releases the locking by the return spring. If the lock is actuated first and then the pusher, then the locking hook slides freely on the backdrop down, so that the function lock is possible.
Ist der Schalter mit einer Einschaltsperre bestückt, so stößt der breite Hebel der Einschaltsperre bzw. der Transportsicherung bei Betätigung des Drückers an seinen Anschlag. Damit ist der Schalter gegen ungewolltes Einschalten gesichert. Wird die Einschaltsperre bzw. Transportsicherung und erst danach der Drücker betätigt, so schwenkt die Sperrrippe in den freien Bereich der Kulisse und gibt den Weg frei.If the switch is equipped with a switch-on lock, the wide lever of the switch-on lock or the transport lock pushes against its stop when the push-button is actuated. Thus, the switch is secured against accidental switching. If the switch-on lock or transport lock and only then the trigger is pressed, the barrier rib pivots into the free area of the gate and clears the way.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß Kosteneinsparungen realisiert sind, indem keine Herstellung von Wechseleinsätzen für das Werkzeug zur Herstellung des Deckels notwendig ist. Außerdem entfällt ein ständiger Umbau des Werkzeugs je nach gewünschter Ausstattungsvariante für den Schalter. Desweiteren ist die Lagerhaltung vereinfacht, da nur ein Deckel anstatt wie bisher drei verschiedene Deckel benötigt werden. Außerdem ist auch kein Umbau der Montage-und/oder Prüfvorrichtungen je nach gefertigter Variante des Schalters notwendig, was eine flexiblere Fertigungsumstellung auf eine andere Variante gestattet. Schließlich entfallen auch Verwechslungsmöglichkeiten bei den Varianten, was die Qualität steigert.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that cost savings are realized by no production of interchangeable inserts for the tool for the production of the lid is necessary. In addition, a constant modification of the tool depending on the desired equipment variant for the switch is eliminated. Furthermore, the storage is simplified because only one cover instead of three different covers are needed as before. In addition, no conversion of the assembly and / or testing devices depending on manufactured variant of the switch is necessary, which allows a more flexible manufacturing changeover to another variant. Finally, also eliminates the possibility of confusion in the variants, which increases the quality.
