Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressure switch with an actuating element and a tubular body, wherein in the interior of the pressure switch, a receiving element is arranged, in which a locking element is fixed.
  • Command devices are widely used in command and signaling devices. Such a command and signaling device is used in machines or electrical equipment, which are operated by command devices, such as pushbuttons, selector switches, etc., which act on the controller. These command devices are mounted in control panels, control panels, control cabinet doors or enclosure covers. Command devices are generally modular. That is, they consist of an actuator, a fixing member such as a ring nut or a special mounting bracket and one or more switching elements, which are designed as normally closed or normally closed switching elements. For mounting, the actuator is usually guided from the front through an opening in the dash panel and mounted from behind over the mounting part. The switching elements are mechanically fixed with screws, snap hook or latch on the actuator or on the fastening part. The electrical connection of the switching elements with the controller via the terminals.
  • Pressure switches basically have two operating principles. On the one hand, there are switching crowns, as they are also known in ballpoint pens and on the other so-called heart curves, the z. B. are formed as a guide slots of the housing inner wall of the pressure switch. These heart curves or guide frames can be formed two- or three-dimensional. The advantage of the three-dimensional heart curve is that it has a slight overstroke, as compared to a two-dimensional heart curve, another switching criterion is available. The advantage of the two-dimensional Heart curve can be seen in the simpler tool contour. In addition, this embodiment has a greater resistance to wear.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a mechanically robust pressure switch against wear, which allows reliable handling.
  • this object is achieved by a pressure switch with an actuating element and a tubular body, in particular a rosette, wherein in the interior of the pressure switch, a receiving element is arranged, in which a locking element is fixed.
  • the invention is characterized in that the latching element is designed to be radially resilient.
  • the pressure switch according to the invention has an actuating element, which can preferably be designed as a transparent, colored button with a connected tubular body.
  • This tubular body of the button is guided in the tubular body of the pressure switch and is in operative connection with the receiving element, in which the latching element is arranged. If the button of the pressure switch is pressed, the receiving element moves against a spring, which is arranged below the receiving element, with.
  • the locking element is arranged, which is preferably designed as a retaining ring.
  • the retaining ring according to the invention is designed to be open and accordingly has two on one level axially in the preferably cylindrically shaped receiving element tightly guided ends.
  • a first end is with radial clearance between the receiving element and the surrounding tubular body of the pressure switch, while a second end, preferably S-shaped, the preferably cylindrical receiving element projects outwardly.
  • This second end touches under resilient bias the inside of the tubular body of the pressure switch.
  • This second end is guided during assembly of the pressure switch via a functional surface, which is arranged on the inside of the tubular body of the pressure switch and above the heart curve, so the guide slot for the second end of the locking element.
  • the guide slot is formed as a recess in the inside of the tubular body of the pressure switch and has an obliquely downwardly guided in the direction of actuation L-shaped projection over which the second end of the retaining ring is guided when actuated to the unactuated state in the actuated Go state and then reach the latched state.
  • the L-shaped projection which may also be referred to as a guide pin, has two legs, which are preferably arranged at an angle ⁇ 90 ° to each other.
  • the first leg of the L-shaped guide pin extends obliquely downward in the direction of actuation of the pressure switch.
  • the second end of the retaining ring is guided in the actuation case on the oblique guide surface of the first leg in a housing contour on the inside of the pressure switch.
  • the second end of the retaining ring then locked in the interface of the two legs of the L-shaped guide pin.
  • the second end of the retaining ring is transferred over a housing projection on the second leg of the guide pin over in the unactuated position.
  • the retaining ring must be able to spring radially during assembly.
  • the ends of the retaining ring, especially the the second ones must not be sharp-edged in order not to damage the heart curve introduced in the plastic rosette and also the functional surface swept over during the assembly.
  • the ends of the spring ring preferably require a defined rounding.
  • the structural design of the rounding must be designed so that the fillets are not too large, so that the spring ring does not jump out of the heart curve. Without rounding, there is the possibility that the spring washer will damage the functional surface above the heart curve and this itself.
  • a first inward and then outward curvature preferably S-shaped, is selected.
  • the radially outer second end of the retaining ring can completely and without being hampered by a bending radius, dive into the heart curve.
  • the pressure switch according to the invention is characterized by its mechanical robustness against wear and its reliable and easy handling.
  • Essential to the invention is the radially resilient latching element, which is preferably designed as a retaining ring.
  • the second end of this retaining ring has a preferably S-shaped bulge, which leads into the rounded end region. This second end serves as a switching pin, which allows locking by differently designed guide slots on the housing inner wall of the pressure switch.
  • the radial suspension of the retaining ring prevents the functional surface of the rosette from being damaged during assembly.
  • the ends of the retaining ring must not be sharp-edged so as not to damage the functional surface and the plastic rosette.
  • the bending of the switching pin is selected via a bend running first inwards and then outwards.
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a pressure switch 1 according to the invention with an actuating element 2 and a tubular body, which may be preferably designed as a plastic rosette.
  • a receiving element 4 is arranged, in which a locking element 5 is axially fixed.
  • the actuating element 2 can also be regarded as a device for receiving an actuating element. This case is present when the actuator preferably as a transparent, colored button with connected tubular body is executed.
  • This tubular body of the button is guided in the tubular body 3 of the pressure switch 1 - ie in the plastic rosette - and is in operative use with the receiving element 4, in which the locking element 5 is arranged. If the button of the pressure switch 1 is pressed, the receiving element 4 moves against a spring, which is arranged below the receiving element 4, with.
  • the locking element 5 is arranged, which is preferably designed as a retaining ring.
  • the retaining ring is made open and thus has two ends, wherein the first end 6 of the locking element 5 or retaining ring, in the axial direction of the actuator fixed in the receiving element 4, which is preferably also cylindrical, is fixed.
