Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch assembly for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one tilt or slide switch having a switch housing and a shift lever, wherein the shift lever is tiltable or displaceable perpendicular to its axial extent, with an operating knob which is connected to an end portion of the shift lever wherein the actuating button forms the housing for at least one pressure switch.
  • Another switch arrangement is from the DE 10 2004 058 127 A1 known.
  • This document shows in one embodiment a combined push and slide switch.
  • An actuating knob is connected to the switch tappets of two slide switches, wherein the switch tappets can be moved by the actuating knob in several directions of actuation.
  • the switch plungers are axially loaded with a force, whereby the switching elements perform pressure switching functions.
  • Such switching elements with combined pressure and tilt or slide switch functions are internally much more complex than simple tilt or slide switch and thus relatively expensive.
  • the actuating button forms the housing for a plurality of pressure switches, each having an actuating element, and having at least one switching mat and at least one circuit board.
  • the at least one printed circuit board is designed as a flexible printed circuit board.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a switch assembly according to the invention in a plan view.
  • Recognizable is a transparent illustrated actuator button (14) for actuating two tilt or slide switches (1, 2).
  • the tilting or sliding switches (1, 2) each have a switching lever (5, 6) whose end sections (7, 8) can be seen through the control knob (14) shown transparently.
  • the possible operating directions of the shift lever (5, 6) are marked. It can be seen that the first tilt or slide switch (1) provides a switch actuation in two directions of actuation, while the second tilt or slide switch (2) allows a switch actuation in four actuation directions.
  • Switch operations in the directions perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the actuating knob (14) are triggered by pressure on a longitudinal side of the actuating knob (14).
  • pressure on a longitudinal side of the actuating knob (14) is either only one of the tilt or slide switch (1, 2), or both tilt or slide switch (1, 2) operated together.
  • the actuation button (14) acts as a one - armed lever with the shift lever (6, 5) of the respective other tilt or slide switch (2, 1) as a depository. Due to the division of forces, the actuating force thus acts more strongly on the nearest shift lever (5, 6), so that the corresponding tilt or slide switch (1, 2) is actuated first. If the pressure actuation occurs approximately in the middle between the two switching levers (5, 6), both tilting or sliding switches (1, 2) can also be actuated at the same time.
  • a common application for the sketched switch assembly consists in the control of a multipart movable object, such as a motorized movable seat in a motor vehicle.
  • the FIG. 1 shows a switch assembly in a simplified sectional view.
  • a support plate (9) two tilt or slide switches (1, 2) are arranged.
  • the support plate (9) may be a printed circuit board, a lead frame or other electrical circuit substrate, and is used except for mechanical attachment and for electrical contacting of the tilt or slide switch (1, 2).
  • electrical or electronic components can be arranged and electrically contacted on the support plate (9).
  • the tilt or slide switches (1, 2) each have a switch housing (3, 4) and a shift lever (5, 6), which extends through the surface of a housing part (10) of a device housing not described in detail here.
  • the shift lever (5, 6) are in the respective switch housings (3, 4) slidably mounted or tiltable about a bearing point.
  • the free end portions (7, 8) of the shift lever (5, 6), which may be formed as spherical or ellipsoidal projections, for example, are movably mounted on a frame (11), which is a part of one for both tilt or slide switch (1 , 2) common actuating button (14).
  • the frame (11) is comprised of a button cap (21) whose outer surfaces at the same time form the accessible outer surfaces of the actuating button (14).
  • a printed circuit board (12) is arranged in a free intermediate space between the frame (11) and the inside of the button cap (21) in the interior of the actuating knob (14).
  • the printed circuit board (12) is preferably designed as a flexible printed circuit board. A section of the printed circuit board (12) can thus be passed through recesses of the frame (11) and of the housing part (10), and electrically contacted at a connection point (22) with the carrier plate (9).
  • a switching mat (13) On the circuit board (12) is a switching mat (13) which forms a plurality of projections (19, 20), which together with not shown contacts on the circuit board (12) each form a pressure switch (15, 16).
  • the projections (19, 20) are passed through recesses on the upper side of the actuating button (14) and close with actuating elements (17, 18) in the form of key buttons, which extend to the Extend outer surface of the actuating knob (14) and can be operated there.
  • a pressure switching function in the operating knob of at least one tilt or slide switch is integrated in a simple and cost-effective manner, a pressure switching function in the operating knob of at least one tilt or slide switch.
  • the realization of the invention are of course not limited to the illustrated embodiment. It goes without saying that the number of pressure switches integrated in the actuating button can be adapted freely to the respective application requirements. Likewise, the number of actuatable by a common operating knob tilt or slide switch is freely definable. In particular, it may also be provided to integrate a single pressure switch into an actuating button which is provided for actuating only one tilting or sliding switch.
