Es sind ferner verschiebbare Bedienelemente, beispielsweise zum Betätigen von Lamellen in Luftdüsen oder zum Steuern von Ventilatoren oder Klimaanlagen in einem Kraftfahrzeug oder für andere Anwendungen bekannt, die ähnlich aufgebaut sind, sich allerdings nicht um eine Achse drehen, sondern auf einem Träger verschieben lassen. Solche verschiebaren Bedienelemente können sowohl mechanische Kopplungselemente aufweisen, um eine Bewegungstransformation beispielsweise auf eine Lamelle einer Düse zu übertragen, als auch mit elektrischen Kontaktelementen versehen sein, die beispielsweise über Schleifer mit stromführenden Bahnen an dem Träger verbindbar sind.There are also sliding controls, for example, for operating lamellae in air nozzles or for controlling fans or air conditioning systems in a motor vehicle or other applications known that are similar, but not rotate about an axis, but can be moved on a support. Such verschiebaren controls may have both mechanical coupling elements to a movement transformation, for example, on a slat a To be transferred nozzle, as well as provided with electrical contact elements, which are connectable for example via grinder with current-carrying tracks on the carrier.
Es besteht der Wunsch, dass solche Bedienelemente nicht nur leicht handhabbar und von innen ausleuchtbar sind, je nach Dreh- oder Verschiebestand, sondern dass auch Accessoires, beispielsweise in Form von Metallisierungsstreifen aufbringbar sind, um zusätzlich eine optische Abgrenzung der einzelnen Zonen zu unterstreichen und/oder Bedienelemente optisch hervorzuheben.There is a desire that such controls are not only easy to handle and illuminate from the inside, depending on the rotating or sliding stand, but that accessories, for example in the form of metallization can be applied to additionally underline a visual delimitation of the individual zones and / or visually highlight controls.
Dies vorausgeschickt, liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Bedienelement der gattungsgemäßen Art so auszugestalten, dass es sowohl punktuell als auch flächenmäßig hinterleuchtbar ist, dass es darüber hinaus per Finger einfach bedienbar ist und dass es mit Metalleffekten, -streifen oder -punkten auf einfache Weise versehen werden kann, um bestimmte Konturen optisch hervorzuheben. Ferner soll eine preiswerte Serienfertigung ermöglicht werden.This being said, the invention has the object, an operating element of the generic type in such a way that it is both selectively and in terms of surface backlit, that it is also easily operated by fingers and that it with metal effects, stripes or points on simple Manner can be provided to visually highlight certain contours. Furthermore, a cheap mass production is to be made possible.
Die Aufgabe löst die Erfindung durch Ausgestaltung des dreh- oder schiebbar gelagerten, hinterleuchtbaren Bedienelementes aus Kunststoff entsprechend der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Lehre.The object is achieved by the invention by designing the rotatably or slidably mounted, backlit control element made of plastic according to the teaching specified in claim 1.
Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsformen sind in den Unteransprüchen wiedergegeben.Advantageous embodiments are given in the dependent claims.
Das Bedienelement ist aus drei Elementen aufgebaut, die entweder als Einzelelemente herstellbar und miteinander verklippbar sind oder in einem Dreikomponenten-Spritzwerkzeug aus unterschiedlichen Kunststoffen hergestellt werden. Das Kernelement besteht aus transluzentem, also lichtdurchlässigem, nicht galvanisierbaren Kunststoff. Dieses Kernelement wird von einem Mantelelement mindestens an der oder den sichtbaren Seiten umgeben. Das Mantelelement kann dabei auf das Kernelement aufgespritzt oder als Einzelteil aus Kunststoff hergestellt aufklippbar ausgeführt sein. Das Mantelelement besteht aus einem galvanisierbaren Kunststoff, wobei Zonen für die Aufnahme von Durchleuchtungsteilen des Kernelementes freigehalten sind, so dass diese eingesetzt werden oder dahinter enden können. Schlussendlich wird auf das Mantelelement mindestens an der zugänglichen Oberfläche ein haptisches Element oder eine entsprechende Schicht aus nicht galvanisierbarem Weichkunststoff derart aufgebracht, dass gewünschte galvanisierbare Zonen am Mantelelement sowie Zonen für die Durchleuchtungsteile am Kernelement freigehalten sind, damit diese sichtbar hervortreten können. Die galvanisierbaren Zonen können dann metallisiert werden, beispielsweise in einem galvanischen Bad mit Chrom in verschiedenen Farben versehen werden, ohne dass irgendwelche Schutzmaßnahmen, wie Lacküberzüge, Abdeckungen usw., notwendig wären, um eine Galvanisierung auch der übrigen Kunststoffteile zu verhindern.The control element is made up of three elements, which can either be manufactured as single elements and can be clamped together or produced in a three-component injection molding tool made of different plastics. The core element consists of translucent, ie translucent, non-galvanisable plastic. This core element is covered by a jacket element at least surrounded on the visible side (s). The jacket element can be sprayed onto the core element or manufactured as a single part made of plastic clip on. The jacket element consists of a galvanisable plastic, with zones for the reception of fluoroscopic parts of the core element are kept free, so that they are used or can end behind. Finally, a haptic element or a corresponding layer of non-electroplatable soft plastic material is applied to the sheath element at least on the accessible surface in such a way that desired electroplatable zones on the sheath element and zones for the transillumination elements on the core element are kept free, so that they can be visibly exposed. The electroplatable zones can then be metallized, for example, provided with chromium in various colors in a galvanic bath, without any protective measures, such as lacquer coatings, covers, etc., would be necessary to prevent galvanization of the other plastic parts.
Wenn das Kunststoffteil gespritzt wird, empfiehlt es sich, in einem Dreikomponenten-Spritzgießwerkzeug die einzelnen Kunststoffteile, nämlich das Kernelement, das Mantelelement und das haptische Element zu einem Verbund zu spritzen. Zu diesem Zweck sind entsprechende Kavitäten in dem Spritzgießwerkzeug eingearbeitet, so dass durch Umsetzen eines vorgespritzten Kernelementes von einer Kavität in die nächstfolgende die Folgeschicht, nämlich das Mantelelement, aufgebracht werden kann. Nach dem Aufbringen des Mantelelementes erfolgt ein weiteres Umsetzen in eine weitere Kavität, um außenseitig das haptische Element aufzubringen. Das haptische Element kann beispielsweise eine Weichkunststoffschicht mit Riffelung oder Noppen oder unterschiedlichen Oberflächengestaltungen sein, wodurch das Bedienelement mit einem Finger einfach bedienbar ist.When the plastic part is injected, it is advisable to use a three-component injection mold to inject the individual plastic parts, namely the core element, the jacket element and the haptic element into a composite. For this purpose, corresponding cavities are incorporated in the injection molding tool, so that the following layer, namely the jacket element, can be applied by reacting a pre-sprayed core element from one cavity into the next following one. After the application of the jacket element further conversion takes place in a further cavity to externally apply the haptic element. The haptic element may be, for example, a soft plastic layer with corrugation or nubs or different surface designs, whereby the control element with a finger is easy to use.
Das Kernelement kann auch hohl ausgebildet sein, so dass in das Kernelement mindestens eine Lichtquelle für die Hinterleuchtung einsetzbar ist. Beispiele einer solchen Ausleuchtung sind in den eingangs beschriebenen Schriften angegeben. Ebenso können an dem Bedienelement die eingangs beschriebenen mechanischen Kopplungsglieder oder elektrischen Elemente vorgesehen sein.The core element can also be hollow, so that at least one light source can be inserted into the core element for the backlighting. Examples of such illumination are given in the writings described above. Likewise, the mechanical coupling members or electrical elements described above may be provided on the control element.
Zur besseren Verbindung des Kernelementes mit dem Mantelelement kann das Kernelement auch Vereckungen, beispielsweise vorstehende Ansätze oder auch Ausnehmungen oder Verkantungen aufweisen, an denen sich konturenangepasste Gegenstücke des Mantelelementes abstützen. Dies kann sowohl bei den aufklippbaren Mantellelementen vorgesehen sein als auch bei den durch Verbundspritzen aus Kunststoff hergestellten Teilen. Diese Vereckungen ermöglichen beispielsweise ein Aufrasten des Mantelelementes, wenn dies als Einzelelement ausgeführt ist. Beim Aufspritzen ist ein zusätzlicher Halt des Mantelelementes gegeben.For a better connection of the core element with the jacket element, the core element can also have glitches, for example projecting lugs or also recesses or tilting, against which contour-matched counterparts of the jacket element are supported. This can be provided both in the aufklippbaren shell elements as well as in the parts produced by composite syringes of plastic. These glitches allow, for example, a latching of the jacket element, if this is carried out as a single element. When spraying an additional support of the jacket element is given.
Das haptische Element kann sich auch über nicht sichtbare oder nur teilweise sichtbare Seitenwände des Mantelelementes erstrecken. Es bietet damit zugleich eine Schutzschicht und verhindert auch das Austreten des Lichtes, falls das Mantelelement stellenweise doch lichtdurchlässig sein sollte.The haptic element may also extend over non-visible or only partially visible side walls of the jacket element. At the same time, it offers a protective layer and also prevents the light from escaping if the sheath element should be translucent in places.
Für die Herstellung haben sich verschiedene Kunststoffe bewährt. Beispielsweise kann das Kernelement aus Polycarbonat gefertigt sein, das Mantelelement hingegen aus Polyamid oder aus ABS-Kunststoff. Das haptische Element kann aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer, vorzugsweise aus einem vernetzten thermoplastischen Elastomer, z. B. EPDM, bestehen. Bei der baulichen Anordnung liegen nur die Zonen frei, die mit einer Metallschicht versehen werden sollen. Das Teil kann also in fertiger Form in ein Galvanisierbad eingehängt werden, um die galvanische Metallabscheidung in gewünschter Weise zu ermöglichen, ohne dass eine Oberflächenbeschichtung der Bereiche, die durchleuchtet werden sollen oder die nur der Bedienung dienen, belegt werden.For the production of various plastics have proven. For example, the core element may be made of polycarbonate, the shell element, however, made of polyamide or ABS plastic. The haptic element may be made of a thermoplastic elastomer, preferably a crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer, e.g. B. EPDM exist. In the structural arrangement, only the zones are free, which should be provided with a metal layer. The part can therefore be in a finished form in one Galvanizing be mounted in order to allow the electrodeposition in a desired manner, without a surface coating of the areas to be illuminated or serve only for the operation, are occupied.

Selbstverständlich können auch völlig andere Oberflächen gestaltet werden. Es kann beispielsweise seitlich eine einzelne ringfömige, galvanisierbare Zone vorgesehen sein; es können auch beidseitig außenliegend solche vorgesehen sein und die haptische Oberfläche in der Mitte, die dann punktuell beispielsweise von einem Leuchtpunkt durchsetzt ist. Viele andere Gestaltungsformen sind ebenfalls möglich. Durch die metallisierbaren Zonen wird das Bedienelement optisch geprägt und hervorgehoben, so dass es auch leichter zugänglich ist.Of course, completely different surfaces can be designed. It can be provided laterally, for example, a single ringfömige, galvanizable zone; it can also be provided on both sides outside such and the haptic surface in the middle, which is then interspersed punctually, for example, from a luminous point. Many other designs are also possible. Due to the metallizable zones, the operating element is visually embossed and highlighted, so that it is also easier to access.
