Definitions

  • the invention relates to an actuator which is provided for switching a switching unit and has a mechanical display, wherein the mechanical display has a window and a recognizable by the window display area. Furthermore, the invention relates to an electromechanical control device with a switchable by such an actuator switching unit.
  • Electromechanical command devices are widely used to operate and control machinery and equipment. These occur in different forms, e.g. as a push button, toggle switch, key switch or emergency stop switch on.
  • Control devices are mounted on control panels, control panels, control cabinet doors or enclosure covers. By manually operating the command devices electrical switching state changes and thus the desired control effects are generated.
  • Command devices are equipped as standard with a mechanical display to indicate prevailing switching states, wherein the mechanical display is optionally equipped alternatively or additionally with an illuminated or illuminated unit.
  • the US 4,223,193 A discloses an actuator provided for switching a switching unit and having a mechanical display, the mechanical display having a window and a display surface recognizable by the window.
  • the display surface is connected to a spring bar attached to an actuating part of the actuator and, during an actuating movement, the actuating part is provided together with at least a part of the spring bar for partially rotating about an axis of rotation.
  • the axis of rotation is oriented substantially perpendicular to the actuating movement of the actuating part.
  • the US 3,576,175 , the US 3,845,736 , the US 4,287,401 as well as the US 3,508,519 also each reveal an actuator which is provided for switching a switching unit and has a mechanical display.
  • the mechanical display has a window and a recognizable by the window display surface, wherein the display surface is connected to a attached to an actuating part of the actuator spring bar and during an actuating movement of the actuating part together with at least a portion of the spring bar for partial rotation about a rotation axis is provided.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an actuator with a space-saving, visual display.
  • an actuator of the type mentioned above in that the display surface is connected to a mounted on the actuating part of the actuator spring bar and is provided during an actuating movement of the actuating part together with at least a portion of the spring bar for partially rotating about an axis of rotation, the is oriented substantially perpendicular to the actuating movement of the actuating part.
  • an electromechanical command device in particular an emergency stop switch, with a switchable by such an actuator switching unit.
  • the aim is to move a display area behind a window of the command device, in particular of the actuator, such that at least one display area is moved in or out of the window.
  • several display areas such as e.g. two or more display surfaces conceivable that are seen at different switching states each by the user through the window.
  • the mechanical display of the command device has one or more windows, one or more display surfaces and one or more attached to the actuating part of the actuator spring bars.
  • a spring bar is with one or more display areas coupled, connected or even connected in one piece.
  • the spring bar and the intended display area or intended display areas together form an indicator.
  • the spring bar on the one hand has the task of holding the display surface and due to its elastic property and length to be able to move the display surface defined behind or in the window. Due to the mechanical or integral connection of the spring bar with the operating part or one of its components, the spring bar and its display surface, ie the entire indicator, complete the actuating movement of the operating part. Further, the spring bar is forced to at least partially change its relative position to the operating part.
  • the optical display is realized by a purely mechanical operating principle independent of a power supply. No additional wiring effort is required for the user.
  • the display works reliably, especially as electrical sources of error, such as defective bulbs are excluded.
  • the spring bar is provided during the actuating movement to the elastic load.
  • a spring bar is advantageous, which is similar to leaf spring, and a small in relation to its length cross-section, in particular a wire-like body, which is easy to integrate into the interior of the actuator and the friction by low deformation forces keeps low.
  • the spring bar is provided to be applied to the actuating part during the actuating movement.
  • Such a system of the spring bar to the actuating member may optionally define an axis of rotation for the rotational movement of the display surface.
  • the bearing point is also a radius for the rotational movement, and thus a deflection of the display surface, can be fixed.
  • the rotational movement of the display surface can be triggered by a stationary component, which forces the spring bar when actuated in a different relative position to the actuating part.
  • the forced movement of the spring bar is supported by means of noses and / or bevels. This is especially true for the rotational movement.
  • the lugs and / or beads are provided to support a point contact between the spring bar and stationary component.
  • Beads hereby represent punctiform or linear elevations or grainings of the spring bar. The punctiform contact largely reduces the friction which occurs at the point of contact of the spring bar with the stationary component. This facilitates on the one hand the actuation of the actuator, reduces operating noise and increases the service life.
  • the spring bar is made very long, so that even a small elastic load thereof in the sense of a leverage effect to a large deflection, i. leads to large deflection angles.
  • large-scale display surfaces can be used, which allow better visualization of the state to be displayed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of an actuator 1 of an emergency stop switch in the de-energized state with two mechanical displays, which are visible to the user through two windows 6.1,6.2.
  • the two windows 6.1,6.2 are in the mushroom head, formed of mushroom lid 11 and the mushroom skirt 5, the actuator 1 housed and formed of transparent plastic.
  • a window does not necessarily have to be formed of a transparent material, but can only consist of a possibly correspondingly shaped hole.
  • the number of optical signal displays (displays) within the mushroom cover 11, and the actuator 1 can be varied.
  • the not completely shown emergency-off switch is in the unactuated state in which the display surfaces 3.1 and 3.2 can be seen by the user through the windows 6.1,6.2.
  • the windows 6.1,6.2 are realized as inserts, which are overmolded by the plastic of the mushroom cover 11. This eliminates snap hooks or similar geometries that could limit the visibility of the display surfaces 3.1.3.2. Likewise, the production in multi-component injection molding is possible.
  • the display mechanisms of the two mechanical, visual displays each include two indicators, each formed from a spring bar 8.1,8.2 and the associated display surface 3.1.3.2.
  • the display mechanism also includes the rosette 4, which does not participate as a fixed component of the actuator 1 on the actuating movement and the elastic deformation of the rosette 4 to movable spring bar 8.1,8.2. is provided.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the right indicating mechanism of the actuator 1 from FIG. 1 in the unactuated state.
  • the spring bar 8.1 is attached to the actuating part 7 so that it is able to follow the linear actuating movement B.
  • the spring bar 8.1 is in an elastically unclaimed state, wherein the spring bar 8.1 is disposed above the fixed rosette 4 and rests against the mushroom skirt 5.
  • the rosette 4 is mechanically fixed as a fixed component, for example on a front panel or control panel.
  • the spring bar 8.1 with the display surface 3.1 in the direction of actuation B are moved in addition to the mushroom cover 11 and the mushroom apron.
  • the upper part of the spring bar 8.1 performs a partial rotational movement D, with the result that the display surface 3.1 moves closer to the center of the actuator 1.
  • Such a mechanism works accordingly, even if the actuating movement B no linear movement (as in FIG. 2 is shown), but is also functional, even if the actuating movement is a rotary movement.
  • the actuator or the actuating part may have an at least partially round shape, as well as the fixed component in order to ensure optimal support of this rotational movement.
  • the display mechanism according to the invention does not necessarily have to be combined with an emergency stop switch, but it can be used with all command devices that operate on the basis of switching elements.
  • the display surface 3.1 itself shows a single state (emergency stop unactuated). In a second state (emergency stop actuated), the display surface 3.1 is not visible in the window 6.1. The user looks through the window 6.1 into the interior of the command device, giving the impression of a black display color. Complementarily, the display surface 3.1 could have a white or otherwise light color. This also applies to both display surfaces 3.1.3.2 of FIG. 1 , A reverse color change is just as feasible, for example, starting from a fixed bright display area behind the windows 6.1, 6.2, which is released when actuated by the display surface 3.1.3.2.
  • FIG. 2 The remarks to FIG. 2 apply accordingly also to the left indicating mechanism of the emergency stop switch FIG. 1 ,
  • FIG. 3 shows a sectional view of the right indicating mechanism of the actuator 1 from FIG. 1 in the actuated state.
  • the spring bar 8.1 is located in the actuated state substantially between the fixed rosette 4 and the system 9.1 of the operating part 7. Due to a rotational movement D, the display area 3.1 now assumes a different angle to the operating part 7 and also to the window 6.1.
  • the actuating part 7 has a surface 9.1, which acts as an abutment for the spring bar 8.1 and is also referred to below as Appendix 9.1.
  • the spring bar 8.1 rests, inter alia, in point 10.1 of the system 9.1, the point 10.1 indicating the axis of rotation 10.1 for the partial rotary movement D according to the invention, which protrudes perpendicularly from the plane of the drawing.
  • the localization of the axis of rotation can be provided at different locations. The further down it is located on the spring bar 8.1, the greater is the angle that sweeps over the display surface 3.1 when actuated. If smaller angles are desired, a position between the display surface 3.1 and the attachment point can be determined by the contact with the actuating part 7 by a corresponding shaping or bending of the spring bar 8.1.
  • the spring webs 8.1,8.2 can possibly be pressed inwards by noses attached thereto, for example via bevels in the rosette. On these lugs beads are optional to install, allowing a punctiform instead of a linear contact between the spring bars 8.1,8.2 and the rosette 4. The friction losses can therefore be kept low on a corresponding shape of the beads. At the same time, the noise formation during actuation or unlocking can be reduced by this measure.
  • the reduction of friction also causes by the predetermined actuation of the emergency stop switch in the Rule 4 mm displacement of the display surface 3.1 in the mushroom head can be implemented more effectively. This leads to larger displacement paths and thus also to a larger display area 3.1 or a larger window 6.1.
  • FIG. 3 apply accordingly also to the left indicating mechanism of the emergency stop switch FIG. 1 .
  • FIG. 4 shows a sectional view of the actuator 1 of the emergency stop switch FIG. 1 in the actuated state.
  • the user sees through the windows 6.1,6.2 into the interior of the emergency stop switch, the impression of the color being "black”.
  • the display surfaces 3.1.3.2 are located under non-transparent parts of the mushroom cover 11. Due to the executed during the operation of the rotational movement D now elastically maximum claimed spring bars 8.1,8.2 take the display surfaces 3.1.3.2 another angle to the operating part 7 and also to the windows 6.1 , 6.2 on as in the unactuated state.
  • the invention relates to an actuator with a mechanical display, wherein the actuator is provided for switching a switching unit and whose mechanical display has a window and a recognizable by the window display area.
  • the invention is based on the finding that previous mechanical displays bring a large amount of space within the command device with it and are also error-prone.
  • the problem of space-saving integration is solved by a display surface which is connected to a mounted on the operating part spring bar and the display surface is provided during the actuating movement together with at least a portion of the spring bar for partial rotation about a rotation axis.
  • the invention relates to an electromechanical control device with a switchable by such an actuator switching unit.
