Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wippenträger mit mindestens einer Betätigungswippe einer Türstation oder Wohnungsstation eines Haus-Kommunikationssystems.The invention relates to a rocker carrier with at least one rocker switch of a door station or home station of a home communication system.

Ein Beispiel von Wippenträger mit Betätigungswippen wird in der DE4425154 C1 offenbart.An example of rocker support with rockers is in the DE4425154 C1 disclosed.

Bei Betätigungswippen einer Türstation oder Wohnungsstation eines Haus-Kommunikationssystems ist es allgemein bekannt, Druckfedern (insbesondere in Form von Spiralfedern ausgebildet) vorzusehen, um ein selbsttätiges Zurückfedern der Betätigungswippe nach erfolgter Betätigung zu bewirken. Dabei können Quietschgeräusche entstehen. Bei länglich ausgebildeten Betätigungswippen ist es erforderlich, eine Druckfeder an jedem Ende respektive Rand der Betätigungswippe anzuordnen. Dabei ist es nachteilig, dass die notwenigen Betätigungskräfte unterschiedlich groß sind und davon abhängen, ob die Beaufschlagung in der Mitte oder am Rande der Betätigungswippe erfolgt. Bei randseitiger Betätigung ist die erforderliche Betätigungskraft nur halb so groß, da nur eine der beiden Druckfedern belastet wird wie bei Betätigung in der Mitte, da in letzterem Fall beide Druckfedern belastet werden.In the case of operating rockers of a door station or home station of a home communication system, it is generally known to provide compression springs (in particular in the form of spiral springs) in order to effect an automatic spring-back of the rocker switch after actuation has taken place. This can cause squeaking noises. In elongated actuating rockers, it is necessary to arrange a compression spring at each end or edge of the rocker switch. It is disadvantageous that the necessary actuation forces are different in size and depend on whether the application takes place in the middle or at the edge of the rocker switch. At randseitiger actuation the required operating force is only half as large, since only one of the two compression springs is loaded as in actuation in the middle, since in the latter case both compression springs are loaded.

Vielfach werden bei länglich ausgebildeten Betätigungswippen auch zwei Mikroschalter je Betätigungswippe angeordnet, um eine beiderseitige Beaufschlagung an den Schmalseiten respektive Randseiten der Betätigungswippen zu ermöglichen. Dabei tritt ein bezüglich der Haptik als nachteilig empfundener "Doppelklick" auf.In many cases, two microswitches per actuating rocker are arranged in longitudinally formed rocker arms to a mutual application to the Narrow sides respectively edge sides of the rockers to allow. In this case, a "double-click" perceived as disadvantageous with regard to the feel occurs.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen optimierten Wippenträger mit mindestens einer Betätigungswippe einer Türstation oder Wohnungsstation eines Haus-Kommunikationssystems anzugeben.The invention has for its object to provide an optimized rocker carrier with at least one rocker switch door station or home station of a home communication system.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Wippenträger nach Anspruch 1.This object is achieved by a rocker carrier according to claim 1.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile liegen insbesondere darin, dass der vorgeschlagene Wippenträger mit mindestens einer Betätigungswippe einer Türstation oder Wohnungsstation eines Haus-Kommunikationssystems keine unterschiedliche Haptik aufweist und die erforderliche Betätigungskraft stets annähernd konstant ist, unabhängig davon, ob die Beaufschlagung der länglich ausgebildeten Betätigungswippe am äußeren Rand oder in der Mitte der Betätigungswippe erfolgt. Unabhängig davon, an welcher Stelle die Betätigungskraft an der Betätigungswippe angreift, wird erreicht, dass die Betätigungswippe stets gleichmäßig linear in Richtung zum Wippenträger bewegt wird. Die Gefahr eines Verkantens der länglichen Betätigungswippe ist unterbunden. Zudem treten keinerlei Quietschgeräusche auf. Ferner entsteht kein unerwünschter "Doppelklick". Zudem dient die Schaltmatte vorteilhaft als Toleranzausgleich zwischen Betätigungswippe und Mikroschalter.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that the proposed rocker carrier with at least one rocker switch door station or home station of a home-communication system has no different feel and the required operating force is always approximately constant, regardless of whether the application of the elongated rocker switch on outer edge or in the middle of the rocker switch takes place. Regardless of where the actuating force acts on the actuating rocker, it is achieved that the actuating rocker is always moved uniformly linearly in the direction of the rocker carrier. The risk of tilting the elongated rocker switch is prevented. In addition, no squeaking noises occur. Furthermore, there is no unwanted "double-click". moreover serves the keypad advantageous as tolerance compensation between the rocker switch and microswitch.

Besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen bestehen darin, dass die Betätigungswippe einen Lichtleiter aufweist, dass eine LED in den Mikroschalter integriert ist und dass die Schaltmatte transluzent ausgebildet ist. Auf diese Weise werden die beiden Funktionen Schalten (elektrische Signalisierungsfunktion) und gleichmäßiges Beleuchten / Ausleuchten einer Symbolik der Betätigungswippe mit einem insgesamt sehr kompakten Aufbau verknüpft. Alternativ hierzu sind auch Ausführungsformen realisierbar, bei denen eine separate LED nahe neben einem Mikroschalter angeordnet ist.Particularly advantageous developments are that the actuating rocker has a light guide, that an LED is integrated into the microswitch and that the switching mat is formed translucent. In this way, the two functions switching (electrical signaling function) and uniform illumination / illumination of a symbolism of the rocker switch are combined with an overall very compact design. Alternatively, embodiments are also possible in which a separate LED is arranged next to a microswitch.

Zweckmäßig beaufschlagen der Lichtleiter die Schaltmatte sowie die Schaltmatte den Mikroschalter über eine jeweils vorzugsweise ringförmige Betätigungsfläche.Suitably, the optical fiber act on the switching mat and the switching mat on the microswitch via a preferably annular actuating surface.

Dabei kann der Wippenträger mit Hinterschnitten versehen sein, hinter welche Rasthaken der Betätigungswippe arretierend eingreifen, um hierdurch zum Einen einen definierten Endanschlag für die Betätigungswippe zu erhalten und zum Andern eine "Verliersicherung" für die Betätigungswippe zu realisieren.In this case, the rocker support may be provided with undercuts, behind which locking hooks of the rocker switch interlockingly engage to thereby obtain on the one hand a defined end stop for the rocker switch and to realize another "captive" for the rocker switch.

Zur einfachen Befestigung ist die Schaltmatte vorzugsweise mit Befestigungszapfen versehen, welche in korrespondierende Aufnahmebohrungen der Basisplatte eingreifen.For ease of attachment, the switch mat is preferably provided with mounting pins which engage in corresponding mounting holes of the base plate.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend an Hand der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele erläutert. Es zeigen:

In Fig. 1 ist eine perspektivische Sicht auf einen Wippenträger mit Betätigungswippen in "Explosions-Darstellung" dargestellt. Es sind gezeigt:

  • mehrere Betätigungswippen 1 (auch unter den begriffen Klingelknopf, Ruftaste, Betätigungsknopf bekannt) einer Türstation oder Wohnungsstation eines Haus-Kommunikationssystems, welche mit einer Ausnehmung für einen separaten, einzusetzenden Lichtleiter 9 versehen ist, wobei der Lichtleiter 9 frontseitig mit einem Symbol, beispielsweise einem Lampen-Symbol, versehen ist, respektive frontseitig in Form eines solchen Symbols ausgebildet ist,
  • ein Gehäuse-Oberteil 12 einer Türstation oder Wohnungsstation, mit integriertem Wippenträger, welcher für jede Betätigungswippe 1 eine Zentralöffnung 13 aufweist, zu deren beiden Seiten je eine Linearführung 14 bzw. 15 und anschließend ein Hinterschnitt 16 bzw. 17 angeordnet ist,
  • ein Gehäuse-Unterteil 19 einer Türstation oder Wohnungsstation, mit einer Basisplatte 20, vorzugsweise Leiterplatte, im Bereich des vorstehend beschriebenen Wippenträgers, auf welcher je vorgesehener Betätigungswippe 1 ein Mikroschalter 21 montiert ist, wobei diese Mikroschalter 21 jeweils eine integrierte LED 22 aufweisen und
  • eine Schaltmatte 25, welche auf der Basisplatte 20 unter Zuhilfenahme von in Aufnahmebohrungen 23 der Basisplatte 20 einzuführende Befestigungszapfen - siehe Ziffer 28 in den Figuren 5 - zu montieren ist und je Mikroschalter 21 einen letzteren umschließenden Aufnahmeraum 26 aufweist.
In Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a rocker carrier with rockers in "exploded view" shown. It is shown:
  • a plurality of rockers 1 (also known as the bell button, call button, button operation known) a door station or home station of a home communication system, which is provided with a recess for a separate, to be used light guide 9, wherein the light guide 9 front with a symbol, such as a lamp Symbol is provided, respectively, at the front in the form of such a symbol,
  • a housing upper part 12 of a door station or home station, with integrated rocker support, which has a central opening 13 for each rocker switch 1, to whose two sides a respective linear guide 14 or 15 and then an undercut 16 or 17 is arranged,
  • a housing lower part 19 of a door station or home station, with a base plate 20, preferably circuit board, in the region of the rocker support described above, on which each provided rocker switch 1, a microswitch 21 is mounted, these microswitches 21 each have an integrated LED 22 and
  • a switching mat 25, which on the base plate 20 with the aid of in mounting holes 23 of the base plate 20 to be introduced fastening pins - see paragraph 28 in the Figures 5 - To mount and each microswitch 21 has a latter enclosing receiving space 26.

Selbstverständlich können auch lediglich eine einzige, zwei, vier usw. Betätigungswippen 1 im Wippenträger des Gehäuse-Oberteils 12 angeordnet sein. Wesentlich ist die von der Frontseite her betrachtet rechteckige Form der einzelnen Betätigungswippen 1 mit ausgeprägten Schmalseiten und Breitseiten, wobei die Betätigungswippen über ihre Breitseiten benachbart nebeneinander angeordnet sind.Of course, only one, two, four, etc. operating rockers 1 may be arranged in the rocker support of the housing upper part 12. Essential is the viewed from the front rectangular shape of the individual rockers 1 with pronounced narrow sides and broadsides, the rocker arms are arranged adjacent to each other on their broad sides.

In Fig. 2 ist ein Schnitt durch einen Wippenträger mit montierten Betätigungswippen dargestellt. Es ist das aus Gehäuse-Unterteil 19 und Gehäuse-Oberteil 12 zusammengesetzte Gehäuse einer Türstation oder Wohnungsstation eines Haus-Kommunikationssystems zu erkennen. Insbesondere ist zu erkennen:

  • die Montage der Mikroschalter 21 mit integrierten LEDs 22 für die Beleuchtung der Lichtleiter 9 auf der Basisplatte 20,
  • die Montage der Schaltmatte 25 auf der Basisplatte 20 über ihre Befestigungszapfen 28, welche in die Aufnahmebohrungen 23 der Basisplatte 20 eingreifen und
  • die Montage der Lichtleiter 9 in den Betätigungswippen 1 unter Verwendung von Rastmitteln 8 der Betätigungswippen 1.
In Fig. 2 is a section through a rocker carrier with mounted rockers shown. It can be seen from housing lower part 19 and housing upper part 12 housing a door station or home station of a home communication system to recognize. In particular, it can be seen:
  • the mounting of the microswitch 21 with integrated LEDs 22 for the illumination of the light guides 9 on the base plate 20,
  • the assembly of the switching mat 25 on the base plate 20 via its mounting pins 28 which engage in the mounting holes 23 of the base plate 20 and
  • the assembly of the light guide 9 in the rockers 1 using latching means 8 of the rockers 1.

Bei Beaufschlagung einer Betätigungswippe 1 in Richtung zum Gehäuse-Unterteil 19 - siehe Pfeil A - drückt eine vorzugsweise ringförmige Betätigungsfläche 10 des durch die Zentralöffnung 13 greifenden Lichtleiters 9 gegen die Schaltmatte 25 und letztere drückt über ihre vorzugsweise ringförmige Betätigungsfläche 27 gegen den Mikroschalter 21, wodurch das gewünschte elektrische Signal erzeugt wird.Upon application of a rocker switch 1 in the direction of the lower housing part 19 - see arrow A - expresses a preferably annular actuating surface 10 of the cross-section through the central opening 13 optical fiber 9 against the switching mat 25 and the latter pushes over its preferably annular actuating surface 27 against the microswitch 21, whereby the desired electrical signal is generated.

Da die Schaltmatte 25 aus einem transluzenten Material besteht, wird eine gleichmäßige Ausleuchtung der Symbole des Lichtleiters 9 über die LED 22 ermöglicht.Since the switching mat 25 is made of a translucent material, a uniform illumination of the symbols of the light guide 9 via the LED 22 is made possible.

In Fig. 3 ist eine perspektivische Sicht auf die Rückseite einer Betätigungswippe dargestellt. An jeder der beiden Schmalseiten der länglich ausgebildeten Betätigungswippe 1 sind je zwei Rasthaken 4, 5 bzw. 6, 7 vorgesehen. Von Wichtigkeit sind des Weiteren zwei Führungsdome 2, 3 der Betätigungswippe 1 für den Eingriff in die Linearführungen 14, 15 des Wippenträgers des Gehäuse-Oberteils 12. Schließlich zeigt Fig. 3 die Einbindung des Lichtleiters 9 unter Zuhilfenahme von Rastmitteln 8 der Betätigungswippe 1. Die Beaufschlagung eines Mikroschalters 21 erfolgt über die Betätigungsfläche 10 des Lichtleiters 9 (sowie über die Betätigungsfläche 27 der Schaltmatte 25, wie unter Fig. 2 erläutert)In Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the back of a rocker switch shown. On each of the two narrow sides of the elongated actuating rocker 1 two catch hooks 4, 5 and 6, 7 are provided. Furthermore, two guide domes 2, 3 of the actuating rocker 1 for engagement in the linear guides 14, 15 of the rocker support of the housing upper part 12 are of importance. Finally, FIG Fig. 3 the integration of the optical fiber 9 with the aid of locking means 8 of the actuating rocker 1. The application of a microswitch 21 via the actuating surface 10 of the light guide 9 (as well as on the actuating surface 27 of the switching mat 25, as under Fig. 2 explains)

Nach Montage der Betätigungswippe 1 im Wippenträger des Gehäuse-Oberteils 12 greifen die Rasthaken 4, 5, 6, 7 der Betätigungswippe 1 arretierend in die Hinterschnitte 16, 17 des Gehäuse-Oberteils 12 ein, wodurch zum Einen ein definierter Endanschlag für die Betätigungswippe erhalten wird und zum Anderen eine "Verliersicherung" für die Betätigungswippe realisiert wird.After installation of the rocker switch 1 in the rocker support of the housing upper part 12, the latching hooks 4, 5, 6, 7 of the rocker switch 1 lockingly engage in the undercuts 16, 17 of the housing upper part 12, whereby on the one hand a defined end stop for the rocker switch is obtained and on the other a "captive" for the rocker switch is realized.

In den Figuren 4 und 5 sind perspektivische Ansichten auf die Vorderseite (siehe Fig. 4) und auf die Rückseite (siehe Fig. 5) einer Schaltmatte dargestellt. Es sind die Aufnahmeräume 26 für die Mikroschalter 21, die Betätigungsflächen 27 (zur Beaufschlagung der Mikroschalter) und die Befestigungszapfen 28 zur Montage auf der Basisplatte 20 des Gehäuse-Unterteils 19 gezeigt. Die Schaltmatte 25 ist aus einem Elastomer, z. B. aus Silikon / Silikon Kautschuk ausgebildet, wodurch sich die Betätigungswippe 1 selbsttätig entgegen Pfeilrichtung A zurückbewegt, sobald die Beaufschlagung beendet ist (Rückstellung).In the FIGS. 4 and 5 are perspective views of the front (see Fig. 4 ) and on the back (see Fig. 5 ) a safety mat shown. There are the receiving spaces 26 for the microswitch 21, the actuating surfaces 27 (for acting on the micro-switch) and the mounting pins 28 for mounting on the base plate 20 of the housing base 19 are shown. The switching mat 25 is made of an elastomer, for. B. silicone / silicone rubber, whereby the rocker switch 1 automatically moves back against the direction of arrow A, as soon as the application is completed (provision).

Die lineare Führung zwischen Wippenträger und Betätigungswippe wird durch das Eingreifen des Führungsdomes 2 der Betätigungswippe 1 in die Linearführung 14 des Wippenträgers bewirkt. Die gleichen Erläuterungen gelten zur Konfiguration "Führungsdom 3 in Linearführung 15", so dass sich insgesamt eine sehr gleichmäßige Führung der Betätigungswippe 1 ohne Risiko des Kippens oder Verklemmens / Verkantens bei einseitiger, randseitiger Betätigung ergibt. Durch die Federkraft der Schaltmatte 25 wird die Betätigungswippe 1 nach Ende der Beaufschlagung selbsttätig entgegen Pfeilrichtung A weg vom Wippenträger gedrückt, wobei diese Bewegung ihren Endanschlag findet, sobald die Rasthaken auf die Hinterschnitte treffen. Selbstverständlich ist die Konfiguration Führungsdom/Linearführung auch umgekehrt realisierbar, so dass der Führungsdom am Wippenträger und die Linearführung an der Betätigungswippe angeordnet sind.The linear guide between rocker support and rocker actuator is effected by the intervention of the guide dome 2 of the rocker switch 1 in the linear guide 14 of the rocker carrier. The same explanations apply to the configuration "guide dome 3 in linear guide 15", so that overall results in a very uniform guidance of the rocker switch 1 without risk of tipping or jamming / tilting in one-sided, edge-side actuation. By the spring force of the switching mat 25, the actuating rocker 1 is automatically pressed against the direction of arrow A away from the rocker carrier after the end of the application, this movement finds its end stop as soon as the latching hooks hit the undercuts. Of course, the configuration Führungsdom / linear guide is also realized vice versa, so that the guide dome on the rocker support and the linear guide are arranged on the rocker switch.

In Fig. 6 ist eine alternativ ausgebildete Basisplatte dargestellt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist eine separate LED 32 jeweils neben einem separaten Mikroschalter 31 angeordnet und auf der Basisplatte 30 montiert. Des Weiteren sind Aufnahmebohrungen 33 zur Aufnahme von Befestigungszapfen der Schaltmatte vorgesehen.In Fig. 6 an alternatively formed base plate is shown. In this embodiment, a separate LED 32 is disposed next to a separate microswitch 31 and mounted on the base plate 30, respectively. Furthermore, receiving bores 33 for receiving fastening pins of the switching mat are provided.
