Definitions
- the invention relates to a control element with a button which is pivotally mounted in a housing about two axes of space, wherein a ball-like guide is arranged with four crosswise arranged on the key arms and associated with a button circuit board and a contact mat disposed thereon.
- control elements according to the invention are used for example in vehicles to control electrical and / or electronic components. These controls should be able to trigger several functions, for example, to reduce the number of controls and / or operate various functions associated with a device. Such controls are also known by the term toggle button and are installed, for example in steering wheels, for adjusting the exterior mirror or the seat in motor vehicles.
- DE 100 63 760 A1 describes an operating element with an actuating element, in which the latter is pivotable about two spatial axes.
- a pickup is arranged with a corresponding evaluation circuit.
- An operating surface of the operating member is provided with a trough-shaped recess for engaging a finger of a hand. This is to combine the advantages of a trackball with those of a joystick.
- the operating element requires complex electronics and evaluation of the signals and builds relatively high.
- US 2002/0066653 A1 describes an input device in which at least one key is arranged in a housing.
- the button is mounted in a ball socket-shaped recess of the housing, wherein the button has a corresponding spherical bottom.
- the key has four rectangular offset, pointing down into the housing punch associated with corresponding recesses in the housing. To operate the key, it is pressed at a position where one of the punches is arranged. As a result, the key tilts and pushes the stamp through the appropriate Recess on an associated switch.
- the leadership of the key is not very accurate, because it can occur in an actuation between two punches to faulty circuits and / or jamming.
- a rocker switch designed for a plurality of tilting directions which can trigger a two-stage shifting with each rocker direction.
- the rocker switch has a housing in which an interior space in the form of a spherical layer is formed.
- In the ball layer is performed with a trained also as a ball layer part of the rocker.
- Both spherical layers are designed in such a way that, starting from the lower sectional plane of the spherical layers to the upper sectional plane, the circumference of the spherical layers decreases. Therefore, the rocker must also be supported downwards. All contacts and contact elements of the rocker switch are arranged on a silicone mat. This known rocker switch is expensive to manufacture.
- the object of the invention is to provide a control for motor vehicles, which can trigger several functions and is simple in construction and has a precise guide for the operation.
- an operating element with a button which is pivotally mounted in a housing about two spatial axes, wherein a ball-like guide is arranged with four on the key crosswise arranged arms and associated with the button and a circuit board thereon arranged contact mat.
- the arms are mounted on its underside on a arranged in the housing tip and on its upper side in a spherical shell, they can be tilted by means of the key.
- a pin attached to the housing is arranged in each corner formed by the arms. This limits the tilting movements to the directions in which the arms extend. As a result, a safe and easy guide for the operation is guaranteed.
- the convexity of the sides of the arms causes the pins to directly contact the arms without obstructing any tilting transverse to the longitudinal direction of the arm in question.
- the circular cross section of the pins results in minimal contact surfaces between the pins and the arms and thus low friction, which improves the feel of the operating element.
- the conical shape of the tip ensures high stability.
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the control element, with a key only hinted and an upper part of a housing is removed.
- a button 2 is arranged above a cuboidal housing 1.
- the button is connected to four arms 3, which - are stored in the housing 1 - centric in plan view.
- an opening 6 is centrally inserted, wherein in the interior of the housing 1, a concentric region around the opening 6 is formed as a zone of a spherical shell.
- a surface of the button 2 has four trough-like depressions in a peripheral region, which are distributed at right angles and correspond to switching directions.
- the arms 3 are arranged in the shape of an isosceles right-angled cross.
- a conical recess 4 is centrally embedded with upward tapering.
- a rod-shaped extension 5 is formed. This protrudes through the opening 6.
- the key 2 is fixed, for example by latching.
- a rib 7 in the form of a partial spherical layer is arranged on each arm 3.
- the outer diameter of the ribs 7 corresponds to the inner diameter of the spherical shell.
- the arms 3, the extension 5 and the ribs 7 are integrally formed.
- the arms 3 are convexly formed in a region close to the center on their side flanks.
- an intermediate floor 1 b is arranged as a separate part of the housing 1 below the arms 3.
- an upwardly facing tip 8 is formed in the form of a cone with a cylindrical foot.
- the opening angle of the tip 8 is smaller than that of the recess 4.
- the difference of the opening angle is determined depending on the required switching path.
- a cross-shaped leaf spring 9 with four tongues is arranged so that each of the tongues runs parallel to an associated arm 3 and exerts an upward force against it.
- the leaf spring 9 is clamped on the cylindrical foot of the top 8.
- the pins 10 are arranged so that in each corner formed by the arms 3, the pin 10 and this touches the two adjacent arms 3.
- the pins 10 have a circular cross-section and close in height with the upper edge of the arms 3 at the transition to the ribs 7 from.
- the contact mat 1 1 comprises four switching domes 11 a. Each of the switching domes 1 1a is associated with one of the arms 3 and placed under its end region. Between each switching dome 11 a and the associated arm 3, a plunger 13 is arranged, which is guided vertically displaceably in the intermediate bottom 1 b.
- a lower part of the housing 1 is formed as a removable bottom 1c.
- each arm 3 On an underside of each arm 3 may be inserted between the end of the associated tongue of the leaf spring 9 and the plunger a locking groove.
- a veneer can be arranged between the housing 1 and the button 2.
- an operator presses the key 2 from a rest position in the direction corresponding to a desired function, with the corresponding tray assisting orientation.
- the pressure causes the key 2 and the arms 3 to tilt about the tip 8 and the corresponding arm 3 is moved downwards.
- the corresponding switching dome 11a is moved over the associated plunger 13 down and so a switch contact on the circuit board 10 is closed.
- the arms 3 and the button 2 are reset by the force of the leaf spring 9 and / or the switching dome 11 a in the rest position.
- the restoring force of the switching dome is basically sufficient to put the button 2 and the arms 3 back to their original position.
- the detent spring 9 can also be omitted, or, as already described, can be specifically used as an additional detent.
