Definitions

  • the invention relates to a key switch group, which is particularly suitable for use as illuminable control panel in motor vehicles.
  • switch groups which are installed in a panel or a frame and are constructed of illuminable switch units. Each switch unit has its own lighting source. It is also known to use a Lichtieiter Weg to illuminate a plurality of switch units, which distributes the light from a common light source or a few common light sources to a plurality of switch units. Both solutions are relatively expensive.
  • a control panel which has actuating elements which are arranged on a common optical waveguide path.
  • the optical waveguide leads light coupled by LEDs to the actuating elements, which each have a light coupling structure, which interacts with the common optical waveguide path.
  • the invention provides a push-button group with illuminable switch units, which works with a light source or only a few light sources and does not require a separate optical waveguide structure for distributing the light to the various switch units.
  • the key switch group according to the invention has a covered by a transparent film frame having recesses in each of which an actuating element is slidably received.
  • the actuators are designed with light-conducting and lichtkoppelnden structures.
  • a common light source or only a few common light sources are optically coupled to the light coupling structures of the actuators, which in turn are optically coupled to each other by adjacent light coupling structures.
  • the light-conducting structures guide the light coupled into the actuators to the actuating surface adjacent to the foil.
  • the actuators may be provided on their bordering on the foil actuating surface with symbols that are visible through the film. But it is preferably the film itself, which is provided with symbols and / or labels, which are assigned to the actuating elements arranged behind it.
  • the frame consists of translucent material, eg. a plate of a polycarbonate, the If required, symbols / labels can be extended laterally beyond the actuating surface behind, so that even larger symbols / labels can be used.
  • a common printed circuit board preferably closes the key switch group on the rear side facing away from the film.
  • the light sources and in opposition to the end faces remote from the film of the actuating elements associated switch elements are arranged.
  • Fig. 1 shows a smooth control panel 10 through a transparent film 12 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) is formed. Through the film or on the film itself, four symbols shown by way of example 14, 16, 18, 20 and a label 22 are visible. Dashed lines are under the film in a frame 34 (FIG. Fig. 2 ) formed round recesses 24, 26, 28, 30,32 indicated.
  • the frame 34 is formed by a plastic sheet of transparent material such as a polycarbonate plastic.
  • the recesses 24 to 32 form slide guides for inserted block-shaped actuating elements 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44, which consist of a transparent material such as a polycarbonate plastic.
  • a circuit board 50 closes the Tastschaltertik on the side facing away from the film 12 back.
  • the printed circuit board 50 is provided with two light sources 52, 54 in the form of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). and equipped with switch elements 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, which correspond to the actuators 36 to 44.
  • LEDs light-emitting diodes
  • the actuators can all be the same, but also designed differently, depending on the ergonomic requirements of the realized with the Tastschalter devis panel.
  • the Fig. 3a and 3b schematically show an embodiment of such an actuator.
  • the actuator is a solid body of transparent material such as a polycarbonate plastic and consists of a cuboid base body 70 and a cylindrical guide body 72 placed centrally thereon.
  • the actuator due to its solid construction, is made of a material whose refractive index is greater than that of air. altogether a light guide.
  • This light guide has on the cuboid base body 70 laterally optical input and output surfaces and introduces coupled light in the cylindrical guide body 72 a; starting from there it radiates through the foil 12 Fig. 2
  • the two light sources 52 and 54 radiate into the lateral coupling surfaces of the outer actuating elements 36 and 44.
  • the light from both light sources is coupled into all actuation elements via the closely adjacent optical input and output surfaces, and is available for illuminating the respective associated symbols or labels.
  • the inscription 22 "SPORT" has an extension that extends laterally beyond the boundaries of the recess 28. Nevertheless, this label is completely illuminated, because at the outer edges of the underlying paragraph of the actuator body 70 couples the light in the transparent frame 34.
