Definitions

  • the invention relates to a signaling device with an electric acoustic signal from piezoceramic.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an aforementioned signaling device, can be avoided with the problems of the prior art and in particular a gentler attachment for the piezoceramic can be achieved.
  • the electrical acoustic signal transmitter has a piezoceramic disk on a metal diaphragm, wherein the signal transmitter is arranged or fastened on a carrier of the device.
  • the signal transmitter is arranged both with or on the piezoceramic disk as well as on the metal membrane with an electrical contacting to conductor tracks or contacts or the like. provided on the support forming an electrical connection.
  • a contact on the support for a contact with the pressed-on piezoceramic disk is provided as a contact.
  • bow-shaped or clip-like holding means are provided to secure the signal generator to the carrier, wherein the holding means abut against the signal generator or attack him.
  • the holding means form an electrical contact with the metal membrane and thus the other contact with the signal generator.
  • the signal transmitter is solderless connected to the carrier and the electrical contacts.
  • the carrier itself can be made simpler.
  • the bow-shaped or clip-like holding means which can either be inserted into corresponding holes for attachment.
  • SMD components that can be soldered on.
  • Also inserted in holes retaining means can be additionally soldered for improved attachment, in particular for an electrical contact to the signal generator or the metal membrane soldering with a conductor track or the like. is beneficial.
  • At least one retaining means can substantially span the signal generator, in particular cross its central region.
  • a holding means can also form an electrical contact with the signal transmitter or the metal diaphragm, if the piezoceramic disk, which advantageously has a slightly smaller diameter than the metal diaphragm, to the carrier points.
  • a resonator is provided over the signal generator, on the same side of the carrier as the signal generator.
  • the resonator housing covers the signal generator and contains it, so to speak.
  • a resonator housing is generally known and advantageously designed as a Helmholtz resonator.
  • this resonator is not much larger than the signal generator and is firmly connected to the carrier, for example by inserting projections in holes in the carrier, it can thereby prevent lateral slipping out of the signal generator under the holding means out. Since such a resonator housing is usually provided anyway or is very advantageous, the total cost does not increase.
  • not only one, but a plurality of separate holding means may be provided, which are provided together on the signal generator for attachment to the carrier.
  • they may be similar or similar and may be lateral hook projections or the like. holding a signal generator pushed into or under it.
  • a plurality of separate holding means may be formed differently.
  • a holding means can advantageously be formed substantially rigid and over-grip, so that a signal generator can be pushed underneath.
  • a second resilient holding means as latching hooks or the like. formed, can be pressed under the hook projection of the signal generator and is then fixed both at this end by the resilient retaining means and, above all, at another area by the overlapping of the holding means.
  • the two holding means may be provided on opposite areas of the signal generator. This is generally advantageous, regardless of how the brackets are formed to secure the carrier relatively securely.
  • Holding means can advantageously be designed so that they secure the signal generator in multiple directions or fix on the carrier. On the one hand, this may be a fixture that prevents lateral slippage or displacement of the signal generator. Furthermore, lifting or releasing the signal transmitter in the direction away from the carrier can be prevented. This fastening direction is the more important or the holding means should particularly advantageously prevent the signal transmitter can move away from the carrier. A safeguard against lateral movement can also take place, for example, in the aforementioned manner by means of an overlapping resonator housing.
  • Holding means against a lateral displacement of the signal generator do not necessarily have to overlap like a hook or like a bow. They can also be simply a kind of lateral stop.
  • An electrical contact of a piezoceramic disc can be done in an embodiment of the invention via a resilient contact element.
  • This can be particularly advantageously attached as a separate part to the carrier and then connected or soldered electrically to a conductor track.
  • This is particularly advantageous realized together with flexible or resilient holding means for the signal generator, so that a certain flexibility in the holder of the signal generator, which allows, for example, a simple insertion, not by the holding means itself, but just by the electrical contact.
  • a holding means as a kind of bracket the signal generator, although largely surmounted, but not completely.
  • Such a so-called cantilevered spring arm can form a lateral fixation for the signal generator, possibly even more than on one side, for example on two or three sides.
  • Holding means may advantageously consist of resilient sheet metal or metal strips which are bent differently and possibly even connected. If they are fastened to the carrier, in particular already with the signal transmitter inserted, then they can have an angled and multiply curved course, for example as a kind of quadrangular border around the signal transmitter with a bridging.
  • FIG. 1 an inventive signaling device 11 is shown, on the left in an oblique plan view and right in a sectional view.
  • a signal generator 12 is, as the sectional view shows well, as usual from a piezoceramic disk 14 which is attached to a metal diaphragm 15.
  • the signal generator 12 is located with the piezoceramic disk 14 down on a circuit board 17.
  • the printed circuit board 17 next to printed conductors, not shown, on a contact pad 18, on which rests the piezoceramic disk for electrical contacting.
  • the signal generator 12 is overlapped by a resonator housing 19, which is shown by dashed lines. This does not necessarily have to be provided, but is very advantageous.
  • the signaling device 11 can not only improve the acoustics of the signaling device 11, but also generally serve in addition to the attachment of the signal generator 12. It may be attached to the circuit board 17 in the usual way, for example, with protruding projections in holes inserted therein by clamping.
  • brackets 22a and 22b of which at least one advantageously consists of thin sheet metal.
  • the brackets 22 are hook-shaped or angled and overlap the signal generator 12. So press it to the circuit board 17 and hold it so firmly.
  • the headband 22 can be supported and soldered with projections in the form of soldering tips 23a and 23b in the printed circuit board 17, ie with the so-called THT (through hole technology). Alternatively, they may be formed as SMD components, so that no holes in the circuit board 17 must be provided.
  • the retaining bracket 22 at least if they are made of metal, also form an electrical contact with the metal membrane 15 and thus the other electrical contact to the signal generator 12th
  • the signal generator 12 When arranged in Fig. 1 the signal generator 12 can be laterally inserted after attachment of the headband 22 to the circuit board 17 and clamped. For this purpose, it is also possible that the headband 22 are bent slightly downwards in the upper region and thus produce a spring action for better retention of the signal generator 12. Finally, the resonator housing 19 can be plugged or fastened over it.
  • a signal generator 112 surrounding, one-piece metal strip provided for mounting, which surrounds the signal generator on three sides. It may also be four pages.
  • three retaining clips 122a, 122b and 122c are formed. From the middle headband 122b goes from an upper bracket 122d and engages the signal generator 112 to press it both down against a circuit board 117 and turn to contact the metal diaphragm 115 at the top of the signal generator 112 electrically. The lower contact again takes place via a contact pad 118.
  • the retaining clips 122a to 122c can either each have a soldering tip 123 in each case in order to allow a stable mounting of the signal generator 112.
  • only one or two of the retaining clip 122 may have such a soldering tip. Then that's it Inserting the holding assembly in the circuit board 117, especially if it is to be automated, easier and safer and more accurate possible. It can also be an SMD component again.
  • the signal generator 112 is inserted here from the free side between the three retaining brackets 122a to 122c, wherein the specially curved design of the upper retaining bracket 122d facilitates insertion.
  • the final placement of a Resonatorgepuruses in turn completes the attachment process. If four circumferential headband are provided, the signal generator 112 could be slid obliquely from above under the upper headband 122d and then, so to speak, from above between the four circumferential headband engage, in turn, he is held by the upper headband 122d.
  • the intermediate support bracket 222b is similar to those of Fig. 1 formed at least at an angle to both form a lateral stop and to prevent lifting of the signal generator 212 from a printed circuit board 217. In yet another embodiment of the invention, it can not only be formed simply angled, similar to in Fig. 1 but also form a kind of pocket, in which the signal generator 212 can be at least partially inserted.
  • the fourth retaining clip 222d is again angled, it is more like a hook with a top hooked upper hook.
  • the signal generator 212 is slid obliquely from above with one end under the headband 222b and guided over the headband 222d. He then goes downstairs the circuit board 217 is pressed and then locks with the other end under this bracket 222 d.
  • An electrical contact to the metal membrane 215 can be done via one of the headband 222b and 222d, possibly also both. Below is again via a contact pad 218 a contact.
  • the signal generator 212 is completely secured by the retaining clips 222a to 222d and actually requires no further attachment. Nevertheless, a resonator housing 219 can also be retrofitted here.
  • FIG. 4 another signaling device 311 is shown, which is designed similar to that in FIG Fig. 2 , Three retaining clips 322a to 322c in turn surround a signal generator 312 on three sides in the manner of a strip. One or more of them, or all of them, may again be fastened to a printed circuit board 317 with a soldering tip 323.
  • a fourth retaining clip 322b spans the enclosed area, extending from the retaining clip 322a to the retaining clip 322c.
  • This retaining clip 322d is bent downwards, so that when inserting a signal generator 312 from the open side, it presses against the printed circuit board 317 and a contact pad 318 for fastening and electrical contacting.
  • the retaining clip 322d serves as an electrical contact to the metal membrane 315.
  • Fig. 2 So here is continuous upper headband provided, which has no free end.
  • one-piece arrangements of headband be used. These can be advantageously worked out of a metal sheet or, for example, punched out and then bent into appropriate shape. Their attachment to a printed circuit board can be done for example via the mentioned, preciselysteckenden and soldering soldering tips. Alternatively, it may be SMD components that have neither soldering tips nor holes in the circuit board. They are then fastened or soldered to corresponding metallic fields on the upper side of the printed circuit board.
  • the headband may, as has been mentioned, be made of plastic instead of metal. Because of the simplest possible electrical contact with the upper metal membrane of the signal generator, it is advantageous if this no separate contact or metallic contact spring is needed, but this is taken from one of the headband. Of course, it is also possible to combine plastic headband with metal headband.
  • One-piece arrangements of retaining clips for example according to the Fig. 2 and 4 , have the advantage that they are easier to assemble or in a single operation. On the one hand, they may be a bit heavier and more complex to produce, and on the other hand, they may be more delicate when attached.
