Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switch having at least two switching elements, wherein the switching elements are actuated both by a pushing movement and by a push / pull movement, which is oriented substantially perpendicular to the pressing movement.
  • Such switches with more than one switching element, each performing different switching functions are known in different embodiments and are used for example as a switch for sliding and lifting roofs of motor vehicles.
  • switches on mechanical actuators. If only a single mechanical actuator is used to actuate more than one switching element, the switch must be designed so that no overlap of the switching functions occurs and no malfunction of the switching elements takes place. Particular requirements are placed on the construction of a switch when the switching elements of the switch are to be actuated both by a pushing movement and by a push / pull movement, these two types of movement of the switch are oriented perpendicular to each other.
  • switches of the aforementioned type usually mechanical locking elements are used, which block execution of an unintentional switching function by a mechanism as soon as a certain direction of actuation of the switch, for example by a pushing or a pulling / pushing movement is selected.
  • Such mechanical locking elements are usually complex, and therefore switches that use such purely mechanical locking elements, error-prone and expensive to produce.
  • a switch with the features of claim 1 and in particular by the fact that the switch has at least one first electronic sensor which responds to a push movement or a push / pull movement, thereby permitting a selected switching function and other switching functions locks.
  • the switch Since other switching functions are disabled when the electronic sensor responds to a push or pull / pull motion, the switch does not require complex mechanical locking elements. The locking of other unwanted switching functions instead takes place purely electronically. As a result, the mechanical construction of the switch is simpler and the operation of the switch more reliable than in known switches that use mechanical locking elements. Furthermore, the switch can be produced more cheaply due to the simplified structure.
  • the switch preferably has a switching rocker, which is rotatably mounted.
  • the at least two switching elements of the switch can by means of Rocker be pressed. Since the rocker must be attached to the rotatable mounting only at one point, attaching the rocker requires only a small mechanical effort. Since two of the switching elements of the switch are advantageously arranged on opposite sides of the rocker switch, a simultaneous actuation of at least these two switching elements is prevented by the use of the rocker switch.
  • the rocker switch advantageously has an actuating element in order to enable actuation of the at least two switching elements by a sliding / pulling movement, wherein the sliding / pulling movement can be carried out in particular by a force exerted tangentially on the actuating element.
  • the actuator facilitates the operation of the switch and ensures that the switch is more flexible, for example, at different locations in a motor vehicle. A push / pull movement may be easier for the user of the switch to do by means of the actuator than a push action, depending on the location where the switch is mounted.
  • At least one spring which is connected to the switching rocker and presses it in a neutral position, is preferably arranged on the switch.
  • the neutral position is required in particular when switching functions are to be executed by means of the switch, which only require a short-term triggering pulse.
  • the neutral position, in which no switching element is actuated, is in this case a standard position of the switch.
  • the rocker advantageously at least one locking element is mounted so that the rocker mechanically locks in a rest position.
  • the locking element comprises a ball mounted on a spring, which engages, for example, in suitable recesses of a switch housing, whereby the switching rocker can be fixed in a certain position.
  • the at least one sensor of the switch is preferably arranged on the switching rocker. By touching the rocker switch at a certain point, the user of the switch can thus select a specific switching function. The sensor also causes further unwanted switching functions to be disabled.
  • the at least one sensor of the switch is arranged on the actuating element of the switching rocker, by means of which the switch can be actuated by a push / pull movement.
  • the switch can be actuated by a push / pull movement.
  • the sensor disposed on the actuator is configured to selectively respond to the direction of a force applied to the actuator.
  • the sensor can distinguish between two directions in which the actuating element of the switching rocker is moved.
  • the sensor can have, for example, sensitive surfaces on opposite sides of the actuating element, by means of which the sensor can determine which side of the actuating element is touched by the user of the switch.
  • the actuator may be constructed inexpensively in a simple manner, since only one sensor must be attached to the actuator of the rocker switch.
  • two sensors may be used, for example mounted on opposite sides of the actuator.
  • the first sensor is responsive to a direction of a force applied to the actuator
  • the second sensor is responsive to a force applied to the actuator in the opposite direction. If two sensors are arranged on the actuating element of the switching rocker, simpler and less expensive sensors than in the embodiment with only one sensor can be used.
  • the switch preferably has at least one further sensor, wherein the first sensor responds to the push movement and the further sensor to the push / pull movement.
  • the push movement and the push / pull movement which are oriented substantially perpendicular to each other and therefore correspond to two different operations of the switch, each assigned a separate sensor, whereby the reliability of the switch is improved.
  • each switching element is assigned a separate sensor, which responds to a pressing movement to the respective switching element.
  • the reliability of the switch can be further increased.
  • the sensors of the switch can preferably be designed as capacitive sensors. This type of sensors is particularly cost effective, especially in comparison to complex locking mechanisms of known switches that perform more than one switching function.
  • the switch preferably comprises a control unit, which is connected to the sensors of the switch and is designed to evaluate signals from the sensors.
  • the control unit detects whether a sensor responds to a push movement or a push / pull movement, and activates a switching element which is assigned to this sensor, wherein further switching elements are deactivated or their switching functions are disabled.
  • the deactivation or blocking of unwanted switching functions is thus carried out purely electronically by the sensors interacting with the control unit. For locking or locking unwanted switching functions thus no mechanical locking elements are required.
  • Fig. 1 shows a switch 11 according to the invention with two switching elements 13a and 13b and a rocker switch 15.
  • the rocker switch 15 is rotatably mounted at a pivot point 17 and has an actuating element 19.
  • On the rocker switch 15 a plurality of sensors 21 are arranged.
  • the sensors 21a and 21b are located above the switching elements 13a and 13b, respectively, and respond to a pushing movement, respectively is shown by arrows 23a and 23b.
  • the sensor 21c is mounted on or integrated with the actuator 19 and is responsive to a push / pull movement represented by an arrow 25.
  • the switch 11 also has two springs 27 which are attached to the rocker switch 15 and, for example, to a housing wall 29 of the switch.
  • the springs 27 press the rocker switch 15 in a neutral position, in which none of the switching elements 13a and 13b is actuated.
  • the neutral position is thus defined by means of the springs 27 as the default position of the switch, which is set automatically when no force acts on the switch. This is particularly advantageous when only a short-term actuation of the switching elements 13a and 13b is desired or required.
  • a sensor signal is generated by the corresponding sensor and sent to a control unit 30.
  • the control unit 30 assigns the sensor signal to one of the switching elements 13a or 13b, activates it and deactivates further switching elements.
  • the control unit 30 activates the switching element 13a and deactivates the switching element 13b.
  • the sensor 21c determines in which direction the sliding / pulling movement takes place and assigns this movement to the corresponding switching element, for example the switching element 13b, and activates this, while the further switching element 13a is deactivated.
  • Fig. 2 shows a particular embodiment of the switch of Fig. 1 , wherein only the left side of the rocker switch 15 is shown by way of example, which is mounted at the pivot point 17.
  • the switching rocker 15 has on its left side a locking element 31, which has a spring 33 and a ball 35.
  • the ball 35 can engage in recesses 37, which are provided for example in a housing portion 39 of the switch.
  • the rocker switch reaches a predetermined position, it can thus be fixed by means of the ball 35 in this position.
  • defined switching states and a haptic can be defined, ie the user of the switch 11 can detect the switching states with his sense of touch.
  • the recesses 37 are formed differently deep, so that the user of the switch 11 can distinguish by means of the sense of touch between different switching states.
