The wording of the claims is incorporated herein by express reference.
Es ist vorgesehen, dass das Einstellgerät eine Drehachse und ein Gehäuse aufweist, wobei das Gehäuse die Drehachse haltert bzw. diese darin gelagert ist und eine Erfassungseinrichtung aufnimmt. Die Erfassungseinrichtung dient dazu, Winkelstellung und/oder Drehung der Drehachse zu erfassen, woraus Steuerbefehle erzeugt werden. Die Erfassungseinrichtung weist mehrere Schleiferbahnen auf einem Träger auf, wobei an der Drehachse entsprechende Schleifer vorgesehen sind, die mit den Schleiferbahnen zusammenwirken. Eine Möglichkeit ist hier ein sogenannter Gray-Code-Geber. Das Gehäuse ist zweiteilig mit zwei Gehäuseteilen, die in einer Ebene getrennt sind, welche senkrecht zu der Drehachse verläuft.It is provided that the setting device has a rotation axis and a housing, wherein the housing supports the axis of rotation or it is mounted therein and receives a detection device. The detection device is used to detect angular position and / or rotation of the axis of rotation, from which control commands are generated. The detection device has a plurality of slider tracks on a carrier, wherein on the axis of rotation corresponding wiper are provided, which cooperate with the slider tracks. One possibility here is a so-called Gray code encoder. The housing is in two parts with two housing parts, which are separated in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist ein Gehäuseteil aus Stegen aufgebaut, insbesondere der vordere Gehäuseteil, aus dem die Drehachse herausragt. Dabei ist er in Draufsicht, insbesondere in Draufsicht entlang der Drehachse, gitterartig, also sind hier die Stege zwar schmal aber hoch ausgebildet für ausreichende mechanische Stabilität. Die Stege können zum einen eine umlaufende und dabei im Wesentlichen geschlossene Auβenkontur des Gehäuseteils bilden. Mit ähnlicher oder gleicher Wandstärke können die Stege Abstützungen zwischen den Außenkonturen bilden, insbesondere von der Außenkontur hin zu einer zentralen Aufnahme bzw. Lagerung für die Drehachse. Vorteilhaft verläuft beispielsweise bei einem rechteckigen bzw. quadratischen Gehäuseteil von den Seiten zu einer genannten Drehachsenlagerung je ein Steg. Ebenso können Stege schräg über die Ecken des Gehäuses verlaufen und die Seiten gegen Zusammendrücken stabilisieren. Insbesondere können Stege auch zu vorgenannten Flügeln an dem Gehäuseteil verlaufen, sowohl um diese zur Stabilisierung des Gehäuses mitzunutzen als auch um deren Haltekräfte bei einer Verschraubung besser ins Gehäuse übertragen zu können.According to the invention, a housing part is constructed from webs, in particular the front housing part, from which protrudes the axis of rotation. He is in plan view, in particular in plan view along the axis of rotation, lattice-like, so here are the webs although narrow but highly trained for sufficient mechanical stability. The webs can on the one hand form a circumferential and substantially closed outer contour of the housing part. With similar or equal wall thickness the webs can form supports between the outer contours, in particular from the outer contour towards a central receptacle or mounting for the axis of rotation. Advantageously, for example, in the case of a rectangular or square housing part, a web extends from the sides to a rotary axis bearing arrangement. Likewise, webs can run obliquely over the corners of the housing and stabilize the sides against compression. In particular, webs can also extend to the aforementioned wings on the housing part, both to use this to stabilize the housing as well as to be able to better transfer their holding forces at a screw into the housing.
Der Aufbau des Gehäuses aus Stegen ermöglicht einerseits eine stabile Konstruktion bei gleichzeitig gewährleisteter Kühlwirkung für Teile im Inneren sowie beispielsweise vorgenannten Öffnungen für Lichtleiter odgl.. Dabei können die Stege dünn sein im Verhältnis zu ihrer Erstreckung in Richtung der Drehachse. Dieses Verhältnis kann 1:5 bis 1:20 sein, insbesondere etwa 1:10, so dass sie relativ dünn sind und dabei relativ hoch. Vorteilhaft wird ein solcher Gehäuseteil aus Kunststoff und insbesondere einstückig hergestellt, besonders vorteilhaft durch ein Spritzgussverfahren.The structure of the housing of webs allows on the one hand a stable construction while ensuring cooling effect for parts inside and, for example, the aforementioned openings for optical fibers or the like .. The webs may be thin in relation to their extension in the direction of the axis of rotation. This ratio can be 1: 5 to 1:20, especially about 1:10, so they are relatively thin and relatively high. Advantageously, such a housing part made of plastic and in particular in one piece, particularly advantageously by an injection molding process.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung können die Stege für eine möglichst hohe Stabilität eine Höhe aufweisen, die sich über eine wesentliche Höhe des vorderen Gehäuseteils erstreckt. Vorteilhaft ist es allerdings, wenn im Innenbereich des Gehäuses ausreichend Raum gegeben ist für die eingangs genannten Schleifer odgl..In a further embodiment, the webs for maximum stability can have a height which extends over a substantial height of the front housing part. It is advantageous, however, if sufficient space is available in the interior of the housing for the above-mentioned grinder odgl ..
In weiterer Ausgestaltung können zwischen den Stegen Durchgangsöffnungen ausgebildet sein in Richtung der Drehachse. In diese können Lichtleiter odgl. eingebracht werden bzw. darin vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise mechanisch befestigt durch Einklipsen odgl.. So kann insbesondere ein Lichtleitsystem mit mehreren Leuchtmitteln und Lichtleitern geschaffen werden, wobei vorteilhaft die Leuchtmittel auf dem genannten Träger vorgesehen sind.In a further embodiment, passage openings can be formed between the webs in the direction of the axis of rotation.

Gemäß einer beispielhaften Ausführung der Erfindung verläuft der Träger in etwa entlang der Trennung der Gehäuseteile, also beispielsweise zwischen den beiden. So ist beispielsweise die Möglichkeit gegeben, den Träger zu variieren zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Anforderungen bzw. Einbaubedingungen. Vor allem kann, wie nachfolgend noch näher ausgeführt wird, der Träger unterschiedlich und vielfältig ausgebildet werden.According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the carrier extends approximately along the separation of the housing parts, so for example between the two. For example, there is the possibility to vary the carrier to adapt to different requirements or installation conditions. Above all, as will be explained in more detail below, the carrier can be formed differently and varied.
In Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann der Träger zusätzlich zu einem Durchgang der Drehachse durch ihn hindurch noch Durchgangsöffnungen aufweisen. Durch diese Durchgangsöffnungen können beispielsweise Verbindungsteile der beiden Gehäuseteile greifen, um sich miteinander zu verbinden zum Zusammenhalten des Gehäuses bzw. auch zum Festhalten an dem Träger. Insbesondere kann es dabei ausreichend sein, dass lediglich die beiden Gehäuseteile miteinander mechanisch verbunden werden und dabei den Träger zwischen sich halten.In an embodiment of the invention, the carrier may in addition to a passage of the rotation axis through it still have passage openings. By means of these passage openings, for example, connecting parts of the two housing parts can engage in order to connect to one another for holding the housing together or also for holding on to the support. In particular, it may be sufficient that only the two housing parts are mechanically connected to each other while holding the carrier between them.
Des Weiteren können auf dem Träger, insbesondere innerhalb des Gehäuses, Leuchtmittel wie beispielsweise LED vorgesehen sein. Diese können dazu dienen, dass das Einstellgerät beleuchtet wird zur besseren Erkennbarkeit von außen. Ebenso ist eine optische Signalanzeige möglich, beispielsweise abhängig von einer Bedienung bzw. einem Bedienzustand des Einstellgerätes. Des Weiteren kann ein Lichtleitsystem von Leuchtmitteln vorgesehen sein, insbesondere mit einem oder mehreren Lichtleitern von einem Leuchtmittel zu einer Austrittsstelle in einem vorderen bzw. zugänglichen Bereich des entsprechenden Gehäuseteils. Ein solcher Lichtleiter kann beispielsweise als durchsichtiges Kunststoffteil von einem Leuchtmittel auf dem Träger wegführen und an dem Träger oder an einem Gehäuseteil befestigt sein.Furthermore, illuminants such as LEDs can be provided on the carrier, in particular within the housing. These can serve to illuminate the setting device for better visibility from the outside. Likewise, an optical signal display is possible, for example, depending on an operation or an operating state of the setting device.

Zur Befestigung der beiden Gehäuseteile aneinander können allgemein hakenförmige Greifer bzw. allgemein Verriegelungsmittel vorgesehen sein. Damit können die Gehäuseteile entweder nur an sich selber oder mit dem Träger dazwischen bzw. von jeder Seite aus an dem Träger befestigt werden. Vorteilhaft jedoch werden die Gehäuseteile aneinander befestigt, wobei der Träger je nach eingangs genannter Größe bzw. Ausbildung umschlossen wird oder dazwischenliegt.To attach the two housing parts to each other generally hook-shaped gripper or generally locking means may be provided. Thus, the housing parts can either be attached to itself or with the carrier in between or from each side to the carrier.
