Definitions
- the invention relates to an operating element for a motor vehicle with a control knob, which is held at least rotatable and depressible in the control element, each movement being associated with a switching and / or control function.
- controls are used that allow a variety of switching and / or control functions in a single control element. Such central operating units or multifunctional input elements are frequently used in motor vehicles. It is then possible to make a selection from a menu and simultaneously select and confirm a selective selection by means of the different operating functions.
- these controls are provided by means of a rotary, push and tilt function, each individual function initiates or selects a switching and / or control function.
- those controls are known in which a rotary and pushable control knob is present, and the additional has a lying in the center axis of the control joystick-like input button.
- the integrated joystick-type input button can be moved in any direction and this arbitrary direction can usually be detected and evaluated by means of an optoelectrical evaluation.
- Such controls are known and are mostly used in center armrests or center consoles of motor vehicles in combination with displays, screens and / or displays.
- joystick-type input elements A disadvantage of such control elements provided with joystick-type input elements is that the operability of the joystick-type input elements is limited due to their installation in the knob, so that an operation for the operator haptic only is very difficult to grasp.
- the integrated joystick-type input elements are bound to the highest structural design of the components, since the tilting movements always take place only over very small angles. This in turn has a detrimental effect on the production costs.
- control element in addition to the function rotatable and pushable is additionally slidable, wherein the sliding movement takes place in a horizontal plane to the control knob.
- the operating element is equipped with a rotationally symmetrical control knob, which is rotatable and can be pressed about its center axis, which is also the axis of rotation.
- a control knob constructed according to the invention has an integrated horizontal mounting, so that the control knob can be pushed in any direction in this horizontal plane.
- the horizontal plane is in this case defined such that it is a plane perpendicular to the central axis, which is arranged substantially horizontally to the control knob. In most cases, in which such a control element is arranged in a motor vehicle and in the center console of the motor vehicle, this horizontal plane corresponds to a horizontal plane through the motor vehicle with respect to the ground of the motor vehicle.
- the horizontal sliding movement is converted in the operating element in a tilting movement.
- the conversion of the sliding movement in the tilting movement means that mechanical means are available, on the one hand in the control knob perform a horizontal movement, which is then converted in the interior of the control, usually in the interior of a housing of the control by means of mechanical means in a tilting movement .
- the control knob has a housing in which on the one hand the mechanical means are stored, fixed or movable against each other, so that a magnetic, optical, opto-electronic, opto-electrical or mechanical detection of the movement of Control knob is converted into an electrical switching and / or control signal.
- Cardan joints are known for transmitting movements. Cardan joints make it possible to redirect movements or rather forces or even more precise torques.
- the invention makes use of the principle of the gimbal and uses a gimbal element for converting the sliding movement into a tilting movement.
- the universal joint is mounted in the control knob in an upper bearing axis and in the housing in a lower bearing axis in each case a Kardanschschale and fixed in each bearing shell, each with a driving pin.
- the mechanical means for transmitting the sliding movement in a tilting movement is referred to as universal joint generally.
- the control knob is fixedly mounted in a horizontal plane, so that the sliding movement according to the invention in any direction in this horizontal plane is executable. It should be noted here that it is described according to the invention that the control knob is displaceable in any direction. This implies, however, at the same time that it is of course possible for the skilled person to limit the movements by introducing guides, so that the rotary knob is displaceable only in, for example, two directions.
- the universal joint By a sliding movement of the knob, the universal joint is moved in the horizontal direction. This sliding movement causes the universal joint is moved over the driving pin out of its central axis out. Basically, it is assumed here that it is a symmetrical rotary knob and that the universal joint is arranged in the central axis of the rotary knob.
- the horizontal displacement of the driving pin in the upper bearing axis causes the lower half of the universal joint in the lower cardan half shell in the housing of the operating element is tilted.
- a known opto-electrical evaluation method for the tilting movement is arranged on the universal joint, so that an evaluation of the sliding movement can be detected as a tilting movement.
- the upper bearing shell is inserted in the upper rotary knob sliding part.
- the detection of the sliding movement is thereby facilitated because the way the displacement of the upper bearing shell corresponds to the path of displacement of the control knob of the control.
- the universal joint is preferably made of plastic.
- the universal joint is made in one piece or in several parts.
- center pin are introduced into the upper bearing axis for the upper Kardangurschale, which in turn are made of plastic or made of metallic materials. The same applies to the lower bearing axis or the lower cardan half shell and the corresponding driving pin.
- Figure 1 An inventively equipped control in a lateral
- Figure 2 is also a side sectional view of the invention
- a control knob 2 which has an aluminum ring 3, is slidably held on the control element 1 in the direction of the arrow P.
- the central cardan element 4 is tilted, whereby at the same time a cup-shaped aperture 5 is tilted, which in turn extends between light guide elements 6, wherein the light guide elements 6 are used for opto-electronic evaluation of the tilting movement.
- the feel of the tilting movement is realized by means of a detent spring pot 7, which acts annularly on the panel 5, so that the tilting directions are not limited. At the same time, however, this means that any desired sliding directions can also be evaluated.
- the control knob 2 In addition to the sliding movement of the control knob 2, by means of which arbitrary directions can be selected and controlled, the control knob 2 is rotatably mounted about its central axis M.
- the cardan element 4 serves to transmit the rotary motion from the control knob 2 to the evaluation device 8 of the operating element 1.
- the evaluation device 8 from the extension 9, to which a substantially cylindrical switching means 10 is mounted rotationally fixed, which evaluates a rotary movement of the control knob 2 with electrical or opto-electronic means.
- the control element or rather the control knob 2 in the direction of arrow P can be pressed.
- the control knob 2 is displaceable in the direction of the arrow P in any direction over a fixed in the control element 1 backdrop 11.
- the gate 11 is arranged in a substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the central axis M plane.
- the control knob 2 thus forms a sliding element 2 consisting of a cover 12, the ring member 3, the disc member 13, the pad 14 is or may be a part of the disc member 13.
- the sliding element 2 is horizontally displaceable over the gate 11 via balls 15.
- the gimbal 4 is mounted in an upper bearing shaft 16 and a lower bearing shaft 17 in each case a Kardanschschale 18, 19 and fixed in each bearing shell 16, 17, each with a driving pin 20, 21.
- the upper part of the universal joint 4 or gimbal 4 is mounted in the disc 13 and the cover 12.
- gate 11 three offset by 120 ° ball pairs 15 in the control knob 2 are arranged.
- the equipped with three extensions 22 slide 1 1 is inserted into the disc-shaped receptacle 13 and rotated by an angle so that the balls 15 into the openings 23 in the disc 13 inserted and pass through a rotation of the guide 11 between the guide plate 13.
- Gate 11 and disc 13 thus form the sliding element 2 for the operating element 1, as shown in detail in FIG. Figure 2 shows a staggered by 90 ° section through the control element 1 also in the side view.
