Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bedieneinrichtung für ein Fahrzeug, umfassend ein durch eine Bedienperson betätigbares Bedienelement, welches aus einer Ausgangsstellung in eine Betätigungsstellung gedrückt werden kann, sowie umfassend ein elektronisches Schaltelement, welches durch Drücken des Bedienelements betätigbar ist. Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem ein Kraftfahrzeug mit einer solchen Bedieneinrichtung.The invention relates to an operating device for a vehicle, comprising an operable by an operator control element, which can be pressed from an initial position into an actuating position, and comprising an electronic switching element which can be actuated by pressing the operating element. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle with such an operating device.
Bedieneinrichtungen mit Druckschaltern sind bereits aus dem Stand der Technik in vielfältiger Ausgestaltung bekannt. Eine Bedieneinrichtung ist z. B. aus der Druckschrift
Für die Realisierung eines Druckschalters wird im Stand der Technik relativ viel Bauraum hinter dem Bedienelement benötigt. Diese Bauhöhe steht jedoch - insbesondere bei Fahrzeugen - nicht immer zur Verfügung, weil sich hinter der Bedienoberfläche beispielsweise elektronische Funktionskomponenten befinden. Auf der anderen Seite sind diejenigen Druckschalter, welche eine geringe Bauhöhe in Richtung senkrecht zur Bedienoberfläche aufweisen, mechanisch wenig stabil und somit insgesamt wenig robust.For the realization of a pressure switch relatively much space behind the control element is required in the prior art. However, this height is not always available, in particular for vehicles, because, for example, electronic functional components are located behind the user interface. On the other hand, those pressure switches, which have a low overall height in the direction perpendicular to the user interface, are mechanically less stable and thus less robust overall.
Aus der
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Bedieneinrichtung mit einem Druckschalter zu schaffen, welche eine geringe Bauhöhe und somit eine geringe Ausdehnung in Richtung senkrecht zur Bedienoberfläche aufweist.It is an object of the invention to provide an operating device with a pressure switch, which has a low overall height and thus a small extent in the direction perpendicular to the user interface.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Bedieneinrichtung sowie durch ein Kraftfahrzeug mit den Merkmalen gemäß den jeweiligen unabhängigen Patentansprüchen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Patentansprüche, der Beschreibung und der Figuren.This object is achieved by an operating device and by a motor vehicle with the features according to the respective independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims, the description and the figures.
Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Bedieneinrichtung mit einem Bedienelement, welches aus einer Ausgangsstellung in eine Betätigungsstellung durch eine Bedienperson gedrückt werden kann, sowie mit einem elektronischen Schaltelement, welches durch Drücken des Bedienelements betätigt wird, ist das Bedienelement an einem Trägerteil schwenkbar gelagert und wird beim Drücken bzw. durch das Drücken aus der Ausgangsstellung in die Betätigungsstellung um eine Schwenkachse verschwenkt.In an inventive operating device with an operating element which can be pressed from an initial position into an operating position by an operator, and with an electronic switching element which is actuated by pressing the operating element, the operating element is pivotally mounted on a support member and is pressed or pivoted by pressing from the starting position to the operating position about a pivot axis.
Die Druckfunktion des Bedienelements wird folglich durch eine Schwenklagerung bzw. Drehlagerung realisiert, so dass beim Drücken des Bedienelements aus der Ausgangsstellung in die Betätigungsstellung selbiges Bedienelement um eine Schwenkachse am Trägerteil und somit relativ zum Trägerteil verschwenkt wird. Durch eine solche Schwenklagerung des Bedienelements kann die Bedieneinrichtung insgesamt mit einer sehr geringen Bautiefe aufgebaut werden, und es kann somit insgesamt eine in Richtung senkrecht zur Bedienoberfläche besonders kompakte und platzsparende Bedieneinrichtung geschaffen werden. Gleichzeitig ist die Bedieneinrichtung aufgrund der Schwenklagerung auch besonders stabil und robust. Die Schwenkachse befindet sich dabei vorzugsweise in einer gemeinsamen Ebene mit dem Bedienelement (in der Ausgangsstellung), welche parallel zur Bedienoberfläche und somit senkrecht zur Drückrichtung des Bedienelements angeordnet ist.The printing function of the control element is thus realized by a pivot bearing or pivot bearing, so that when pressing the control element from the starting position into the actuating position same control element is pivoted about a pivot axis on the support member and thus relative to the support member. By such a pivotal mounting of the operating element, the operating device can be constructed overall with a very small overall depth, and it can thus be created overall in a direction perpendicular to the user interface particularly compact and space-saving control device. At the same time, the operating device is also particularly stable and robust due to the pivotal mounting. The pivot axis is preferably located in a common plane with the operating element (in the starting position), which is arranged parallel to the user interface and thus perpendicular to the pressing direction of the operating element.
Die schwenkbare Lagerung des Bedienelements an dem Trägerteil kann mittelbar oder unmittelbar realisiert werden. Bei einer unmittelbaren Lagerung ist das Bedienelement direkt und unmittelbar am Trägerteil schwenkbar gelagert. Demgegenüber ist bei einer mittelbaren Lagerung vorgesehen, dass das Bedienelement über ein Zwischenstück, insbesondere ein Wippenteil, an dem Trägerteil schwenkbar gelagert ist. Insgesamt ist somit vorgesehen, dass das Bedienelement zumindest mittelbar an dem Trägerteil schwenkbar gelagert ist.The pivotable mounting of the operating element on the carrier part can be realized directly or indirectly. In an immediate storage, the control element is directly and pivotally mounted on the support part. In contrast, it is provided in an indirect storage, that the operating element via an intermediate piece, in particular a rocker part, is pivotally mounted on the support part. Overall, it is thus provided that the operating element is at least indirectly pivotally mounted on the support part.
Unter dem Trägerteil wird vorliegend ein Teil verstanden, gegenüber welchem das Bedienelement bewegt wird. Dieses Trägerteil kann beispielsweise insgesamt ein Gehäuse und/oder eine Leiterplatte umfassen. Das Trägerteil ist somit insgesamt ein ortsfestes und somit relativ zur Bedienoberfläche, insbesondere relativ zum Fahrzeug, unbewegliches Teil.In the present case, the support part is understood to mean a part opposite which the operating element is moved. This carrier part may comprise, for example, a total of a housing and / or a printed circuit board. The support member is thus a fixed overall and thus relative to the user interface, in particular relative to the vehicle, immovable part.
Erfindungsgemäß ist das Bedienelement zusätzlich als Schiebeschalter ausgebildet und in einer Schieberichtung verschiebbar gelagert. Die Schieberichtung kann linear und somit geradlinig orientiert sein. Bevorzugt verläuft die Schieberichtung auch senkrecht zur Drückrichtung des Bedienelements. Die Bedieneinrichtung weist erfindungsgemäß eine Erfassungseinrichtung auf, mittels welcher das Verschieben des Bedienelements erfasst wird. Somit wird eine Bedieneinrichtung geschaffen, welche multifunktionell ausgebildet ist und einen Schiebe- und Druckschalter aufweist, der sowohl drückbar als
auch verschiebbar ist. Auf diese Weise können mit ein und demselben Bedienelement eine Vielzahl von Funktionen ausgelöst werden, was sich insbesondere bei Einsatz in einem Kraftfahrzeug als besonders vorteilhaft erweist. Dabei hat der Schiebe- und Drückschalter eine sehr geringe Bauhöhe und beansprucht somit besonders wenig Bauraum in Richtung senkrecht zur Bedienoberfläche bzw. senkrecht zur Schieberichtung. Somit kann die Bedieneinrichtung auch besonders vorteilhaft beispielsweise an einer Mittelkonsole in einem Kraftfahrzeug eingesetzt werden.According to the invention the control element is additionally designed as a slide switch and slidably mounted in a sliding direction. The sliding direction can be linear and thus oriented in a straight line. Preferably, the sliding direction also runs perpendicular to the pressing direction of the operating element. The operating device according to the invention comprises a detection device, by means of which the displacement of the operating element is detected. Thus, an operating device is provided, which is multifunctional and has a push and push switch, which can be pressed both as
is also movable. In this way, a plurality of functions can be triggered with one and the same operating element, which proves to be particularly advantageous when used in a motor vehicle. The sliding and push switch has a very low height and thus takes up very little space in the direction perpendicular to the user interface or perpendicular to the sliding direction. Thus, the operating device can also be used particularly advantageously for example on a center console in a motor vehicle.
Die Erfassungseinrichtung erfasst bevorzugt die aktuelle Stellung des Bedienelements in Schieberichtung. Die Erfassungseinrichtung kann dann ein elektronisches Signal erzeugen, welches die aktuelle Stellung des Bedienelements relativ zur Ausgangsstellung charakterisiert. Als Erfassungseinrichtung kann beispielsweise eine optische und/oder mechanische und/oder elektrische und/oder kapazitive und/oder magnetische Einrichtung eingesetzt werden. Z. B. kann als Erfassungseinrichtung ein Potentiometer oder aber ein Hall-Sensor verwendet werden.The detection device preferably detects the current position of the operating element in the sliding direction. The detection device can then generate an electronic signal which characterizes the current position of the operating element relative to the starting position. For example, an optical and / or mechanical and / or electrical and / or capacitive and / or magnetic device can be used as detection device. For example, a potentiometer or a Hall sensor can be used as the detection device.
Wie bereits ausgeführt, kann das Bedienelement mittelbar an dem Trägerteil schwenkbar gelagert sein. In einer Ausführungsform ist dabei vorgesehen, dass das Bedienelement an einem Wippenteil verschiebbar gelagert ist, welches wiederum an dem Trägerteil um die Schwenkachse schwenkbar gelagert ist. Somit ist das Bedienelement über das Wippenteil mittelbar an dem Trägerteil schwenkbar gelagert. Auf diese Weise wird eine mechanische Entkoppelung der Schiebefunktion einerseits und der Druckfunktion andererseits ermöglicht, was zusätzlich noch die Robustheit der Bedieneinrichtung erhöht. Außerdem ermöglicht es, dass beim Drücken die Schiebefunktion und/oder beim Verschieben die Druckfunktion ohne viel Aufwand blockiert werden kann.As already stated, the operating element can be indirectly mounted pivotably on the carrier part. In one embodiment, it is provided that the operating element is displaceably mounted on a rocker part, which in turn is pivotally mounted on the support part about the pivot axis. Thus, the control element via the rocker member indirectly on the support member is pivotally mounted. In this way, a mechanical decoupling of the sliding function on the one hand and the printing function on the other hand allows, which additionally increases the robustness of the operating device. It also makes it possible to block the shift function and / or move the print function without much effort when pressed.
Vorzugsweise ist das Wippenteil in einer Öffnung des Trägerteils, insbesondere in einer Öffnung der Leiterplatte, angeordnet und liegt somit vorzugsweise in einer durch diese Öffnung definierten Ebene. Das Wippenteil kann dabei einen Fortsatz bzw. eine Nase aufweisen, über welchen/welche das Wippenteil in der Betätigungsstellung an einem Rand der Öffnung und somit an dem Trägerteil, insbesondere an der Leiterplatte, abgestützt ist. Durch Vorsehen eines solchen Fortsatzes, welcher einen Anschlag bildet, wird verhindert, dass auf das Schaltelement unterhalb des Bedienelements eine zu hohe Betätigungskraft aufgebracht wird. Hierdurch kann eine Zerstörung des Schaltelements verhindert werden. Außerdem ermöglicht ein derartiger Fortsatz eine definierte Bewegung des Wippenteils und somit eine definierte Bewegung des Bedienelements in Drückrichtung. Wird dieser Fortsatz in Anlage mit dem Rand der Öffnung gebracht, so befindet sich das Bedienelement in der Betätigungsstellung und somit in der gedrückten Stellung.Preferably, the rocker part is arranged in an opening of the carrier part, in particular in an opening of the printed circuit board, and thus preferably lies in a plane defined by this opening. In this case, the rocker part can have an extension or a nose over which the rocker part is supported in the actuation position on an edge of the opening and thus on the support part, in particular on the printed circuit board. By providing such an extension, which forms a stop, it is prevented that an excessive actuating force is applied to the switching element below the operating element. As a result, destruction of the switching element can be prevented. In addition, such an extension allows a defined movement of the rocker part and thus a defined movement of the operating element in the pressing direction. If this extension is brought into contact with the edge of the opening, then is the control in the operating position and thus in the depressed position.
Vorzugsweise sind Blockiermittel vorgesehen, welche in der Betätigungsstellung des Bedienelements (Bedienelement gedrückt) das Verschieben des Bedienelements in der Schieberichtung mechanisch verhindern bzw. blockieren. Somit wird verhindert, dass die Druckfunktion und die Schiebefunktion gleichzeitig ausgeführt werden können. Wird das Bedienelement gedrückt, so verhindern die Blockiermittel eine zusätzliche Verschiebung des Bedienelements in der Schieberichtung.Preferably blocking means are provided, which in the operating position of the operating element (operating element pressed) mechanically prevent or block the displacement of the operating element in the sliding direction. This prevents the printing function and the sliding function from being executed simultaneously. If the operating element is pressed, the blocking means prevent an additional displacement of the operating element in the sliding direction.
Vorzugsweise sind zusätzlich oder alternativ auch Blockiermittel bereitgestellt, welche das Drücken des Bedienelements dann mechanisch verhindern, wenn sich das Bedienelement in einer gegenüber der Ausgangsstellung in der Schieberichtung verschobenen Stellung befindet. Somit ist das Drücken des Bedienelements nur dann möglich, wenn sich das Bedienelement in seiner Ausgangsstellung befindet und somit in der Schieberichtung nicht verschoben ist.Preferably, additionally or alternatively, blocking means are also provided which then mechanically prevent the operating element from being pressed when the operating element is in a position shifted in the sliding direction in relation to the starting position. Thus, the pressing of the control element is only possible when the control element is in its initial position and thus is not moved in the sliding direction.
Die Blockierung der beiden Funktionen, nämlich der Druckfunktion einerseits und der Schiebefunktion andererseits, erfolgt vorzugsweise mit Hilfe von Blockiermitteln, die integral ausgebildet sind. Dieselben Blockiermittel können also sowohl die eine Funktion als auch die andere Funktion blockieren.The blocking of the two functions, namely the printing function on the one hand and the sliding function on the other hand, preferably takes place by means of blocking means, which are integrally formed. The same blocking agents can thus block both one function and the other function.
Zur Blockierung zumindest einer der Funktionen können die Blockiermittel eine in einem Boden des Bedienelements ausgebildete Aussparung aufweisen, in welche ein stegförmiger Fortsatz des Trägerteils, insbesondere der Leiterplatte, in der Betätigungsstellung des Bedienelements aufgenommen ist. Die Breite dieser Aussparung ist bevorzugt an die Breite des stegförmigen Fortsatzes angepasst, so dass die Breite der Aussparung ein wenig größer als die Breite des Fortsatzes ist. Die Aussparung ist dabei vorzugsweise in Form einer rechteckförmigen Einbuchtung bzw. Vertiefung ausgebildet, in welche ein im Querschnitt rechteckiger Fortsatz des Trägerteils, insbesondere der Leiterplatte, aufgenommen werden kann. Durch eine solche Ausgestaltung der Blockiermittel kann eine Blockierung sowohl der Druckfunktion als auch der Schiebefunktion realisiert werden. Befindet sich nämlich das Bedienelement in der Betätigungsstellung, so dass sich der Fortsatz in der Aussparung befindet, so ist die Schiebefunktion des Bedienelements blockiert. Befindet sich das Bedienelement hingegen in einer gegenüber der Ausgangsstellung in der Schieberichtung verschobenen Stellung, so liegt die Aussparung des Bedienelements nicht mehr in Überlappung bzw.To block at least one of the functions, the blocking means may have a recess formed in a bottom of the operating element, into which a web-shaped extension of the carrier part, in particular the printed circuit board, is received in the operating position of the operating element. The width of this recess is preferably adapted to the width of the web-shaped extension, so that the width of the recess is slightly larger than the width of the extension. The recess is preferably formed in the form of a rectangular indentation or depression, in which a rectangular in cross section extension of the support member, in particular the circuit board, can be added. By such an embodiment of the blocking means blocking of both the printing function and the shift function can be realized. Namely, is the control element in the operating position, so that the extension is in the recess, the sliding function of the control element is blocked. If, however, the operating element is in a position shifted in the sliding direction relative to the starting position, then the recess of the operating element no longer overlaps or
Überdeckung mit dem stegförmigen Fortsatz, so dass die Druckfunktion des Bedienelements blockiert ist. Mit gleichen Maßnahmen kann somit die Blockierung der Druckfunktion einerseits sowie der Schiebefunktion andererseits zuverlässig realisiert werden.Cover with the web-shaped extension, so that the printing function of the operating element is blocked. With the same measures can thus be reliably realized blocking the printing function on the one hand and the sliding function on the other hand.
In der Ausgangsstellung des Bedienelements ist die Aussparung bevorzugt in Überdeckung mit dem stegförmigen Fortsatz des Trägerteils angeordnet. Wird das Bedienelement in Schieberichtung verschoben, so ist die Aussparung außerhalb der Überdeckung und somit versetzt zum Fortsatz angeordnet.In the initial position of the control element, the recess is preferably arranged in register with the web-shaped extension of the carrier part. If the operating element is displaced in the sliding direction, then the recess outside the overlap and thus arranged offset to the extension.
Bevorzugt ist das Schaltelement an dem stegförmigen Fortsatz angeordnet. Somit kann dieses Schaltelement zuverlässig beim Drücken des Bedienelements betätigt werden, und die Bauhöhe der Bedieneinrichtung kann weiterhin reduziert werden.Preferably, the switching element is arranged on the web-shaped extension. Thus, this switching element can be reliably operated when pressing the operating element, and the height of the operating device can be further reduced.
In einer Ausführungsform umfasst die Bedieneinrichtung zumindest ein, insbesondere von der Erfassungseinrichtung separates, Haptikelement, mittels welchem in zumindest einer gegenüber der Ausgangstellung in der Schieberichtung verschobenen Stellung des Bedienelements eine Kraft und somit eine haptische Rückmeldung auf das Bedienelement aufgebracht wird. Die Bedienperson wird somit über das Erreichen dieser Stellung des Bedienelements mit einer haptischen Rückmeldung informiert, und es wird der Bedienperson der Eindruck vermittelt, als würde das Bedienelement in eine Rastöffnung einrasten. Das zumindest eine Haptikelement kann z. B. in Form einer Schaltmatte ausgebildet sein, welche beim Verschieben des Bedienelements mittels des Bedienelements gedrückt wird und hierbei in zumindest einer Stellung des Bedienelements einen Kraftimpuls auf das Bedienelement erzeugt. Die Erfassung der aktuellen Position des Bedienelements in der Schieberichtung erfolgt dabei vorzugsweise separat mit Hilfe der oben genannten Erfassungseinrichtung.In one embodiment, the operating device comprises at least one haptic element, in particular separate from the detection device, by means of which a force and thus a haptic feedback is applied to the operating element in at least one position of the operating element which is shifted in the sliding direction relative to the starting position. The operator is thus informed about the achievement of this position of the control element with a haptic feedback, and it is the operator gives the impression as if the control element engage in a detent opening. The at least one haptic element can, for. B. in the form of a switching mat, which is pressed when moving the operating element by means of the operating element and in this case generates a force pulse on the operating element in at least one position of the operating element. The detection of the current position of the operating element in the sliding direction is preferably carried out separately with the aid of the above-mentioned detection device.
Bevorzugt ist das zumindest eine Haptikelement an dem Wippenteil angeordnet, welches direkt am Trägerteil schwenkbar gelagert ist. Somit bewegt sich das zumindest eine Haptikelement beim Drücken des Bedienelements zusammen mit diesem Bedienelement. Eine Relativbewegung zwischen Bedienelement und Haptikelement ist ausschließlich beim Verschieben des Bedienelements in der Schieberichtung möglich.Preferably, the at least one haptic element is arranged on the rocker part, which is mounted pivotably directly on the support part. Thus, the at least one haptic moves when pressing the control element together with this control. A relative movement between the control element and Haptikelement is possible only when moving the operating element in the sliding direction.

Das Bedienelement 2 weist einen quaderförmigen Grundkörper 6 auf, welcher das tatsächliche Betätigungselement bildet und durch die Bedienperson berührt werden kann. Von dem Grundkörper 6 stehen auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Bedienelements 2 jeweilige Flügel 7, 8, welche plattenförmig ausgebildet sind und sich parallel zur stirnseitigen Oberfläche 5 erstrecken. Wie aus
Das Bedienelement 2 ist an einem Wippenteil 11 in der Schieberichtung 4 verschiebbar geführt gelagert. Diese Lagerung erfolgt über ein Führungselement 12 (siehe
Das Wippenteil 11 liegt dabei innerhalb einer Öffnung 19, welche in der Leiterplatte 18 ausgebildet ist. Dabei liegt der Boden 13 des Wippenteils 11 in der Ebene der Leiterplatte 18. Der Boden 13 des Wippenteils 11 weist ebenfalls eine rechteckförmige Einbuchtung 20 für einen stegförmigen Fortsatz 21 der Leiterplatte 18 auf. An diesem streifenförmigen Fortsatz 21 ist ein elektronisches Schaltelement 22 angeordnet, welches beim Drücken des Bedienelements 2 in der Drückrichtung aus der Ausgangsstellung in eine Betätigungsstellung betätigt wird. Dieses Schaltelement hat neben der Schaltfunktion auch eine Haptikfunktion, so dass in der Betätigungsstellung eine haptische Kraft auf das Bedienelement 2 aufgebracht wird.The
Die Einbuchtung 20 im Boden 13 des Wippenteils 11 ist dabei tiefer als die Aussparung 10, welche im Boden 9 des Bedienelements 2 ausgebildet ist. In der Ausgangsstellung des Bedienelements liegt der Boden 13 des Wippenteils 11 in der Ebene der Leiterplatte 18, so dass der Fortsatz 21 der Leiterplatte 18 die Öffnung der Einbuchtung 20 bzw. der Vertiefung 20 verschließt.The
An einem dem Lager 14 gegenüberliegenden Ende des Wippenteils 11 weist das Wippenteil 11 einen Steg bzw. eine Wand 23 auf, welche senkrecht zum Boden 13 angeordnet ist. Von diesem Steg 23 steht ein Fortsatz 24 nach außen ab, welcher einen Anschlag bildet, der beim Drücken des Bedienelements 2 in der Betätigungsstellung an einem Rand 25 der Öffnung 19 der Leiterplatte 18 abgestützt wird. Der Fortsatz 24 wird somit in der Betätigungsstellung des Bedienelements 2 in Anlage mit der Leiterplatte 18 gebracht.At an end of the
An dem Wippenteil 11 sind zusätzlich auch zwei Haptikelemente 26, 27 angeordnet, die sich vorzugsweise unmittelbar an das Lager 14 anschließen. Diese Haptikelemente 26, 27 sind zwischen einer senkrecht zum Boden 13 verlaufenden ersten Wand 28 des Wippenteils 11 einerseits und einer parallel zur ersten Wand 28 verlaufenden zweiten Wand 29 andererseits angeordnet, in welche das Lager 14 integriert ist. Die beiden Haptikelemente 26, 27 sind somit in einer Sandwich-Bauweise in einem Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Wänden 28, 29 angeordnet. Zwischen den Haptikelementen 26, 27 alleine befindet sich wiederum ein Betätigungselement 30, welches einstöckig mit dem Grundkörper 6 des Bedienelements 2 verbunden ist. Beim Verschieben des Bedienelements 2 in der Schieberichtung 4 bewegt sich folglich auch das Betätigungselement 30 einerseits in Richtung zum Haptikelement 26 und andererseits in Richtung zum Haptikelement 27. Die beiden Haptikelemente 26, 27 erzeugen dabei jeweils in zumindest einer Stellung des Bedienelements 2 eine Kraft bzw. eine haptische Rückmeldung auf das Betätigungselement 30 und somit auf das Bedienelement 2. Beispielsweise können für jede Richtung jeweils zwei Stellungen vorgesehen sein, in denen eine haptische Rückmeldung erzeugt wird. Beim Verschieben des Bedienelements 2 in der Schieberichtung 4 nach links wird das Haptikelement 26 betätigt, während beim Verschieben des Bedienelements 2 nach rechts das andere Haptikelement 27 betätigt wird. Die beiden Haptikelemente 26, 27 können beispielsweise in Form von Schaltmatten ausgeführt sein, welche zur Bereitstellung der haptischen Rückmeldung ausgebildet ist.On the
Die Haptikelemente 26, 27 dienen vorzugsweise ausschließlich zur Erzeugung einer haptischen Kraft, nicht jedoch zur Erfassung der aktuellen Stellung des Bedienelements 2 in der Schieberichtung 4. Zu diesem Zwecke wird vorzugsweise eine separate Erfassungseinrichtung 31 (
Das Wippenteil 11 ist vorzugsweise einstückig und vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff ausgebildet. Ergänzend oder alternativ kann auch das Bedienelement 2 einstückig und z. B. aus Kunststoff ausgebildet sein. Dies bedeutet, dass der Grundkörper 6, die Flügel 7, 8, das Betätigungselement 30 sowie die Platte 33 vorzugsweise einstückig miteinander ausgebildet sind.The
Das Wippenteil 11 wird zusammen mit dem Bedienelement 2 über das Lager 14 an dem Trägerteil angelenkt, so dass das Wippenteil 11 an dem Trägerteil um die Schwenkachse 17 schwenkbar gelagert ist. Das Bedienelement 2 kann dabei aus der Ausgangsstellung in eine Betätigungsstellung gedrückt werden, in welcher das Schaltelement 22 betätigt wird. Das Drücken des Bedienelements 2 erfolgt durch Schwenken des Wippenteils 11 um die Schwenkachse 17. Hierbei wird das Bedienelement aus der Ausgangsstellung, in welcher der Boden 13 in der Ebene der Leiterplatte 18 liegt, in die Betätigungsstellung verbracht, in welcher der Boden 13 mit der Leiterplatte 18 einen Winkel größer 0° einschließt. Das Wippenteil 11 bzw. das Bedienelement 2 wird somit relativ zur Leiterplatte 18 verschwenkt. Beim Drücken des Bedienelements 2 wird dabei das Schaltelement 22 betätigt, welches dann eine Rückstellkraft auf das Bedienelement 2 ausüben kann, um das Bedienelement 2 wieder in die Ausgangsstellung zu verbringen. In der Betätigungsstellung des Bedienelements 2 wird außerdem der stegförmige Fortsatz 21 der Leiterplatte 18 in die Aussparung 10 des Bodens 9 des Bedienelements 2 aufgenommen. In der Ausgangsstellung des Bedienelements 2 befindet sich der Fortsatz 21 hingegen außerhalb der Aussparung 10.The
Beim Verschieben des Bedienelements 2 entlang der Schieberichtung 4 wird hingegen das Bedienelement 2 alleine relativ zum Wippenteil 11 bewegt. Weil die Aussparung 10 und die Einbuchtung 20 in Richtung senkrecht zur Schieberichtung 4 nebeneinander angeordnet sind, ist eine Schiebebewegung des Bedienelements 2 an dem Wippenteil 11 möglich. Beim Bewegen des Bedienelements 2 entlang der Schieberichtung 4 wird dabei auch die Aussparung 10 relativ zum Fortsatz 21 der Leiterplatte 18 bewegt. Lediglich in der Ausgangsstellung des Bedienelements 2 befindet sich die Aussparung 10 in vollständiger Überlappung mit dem Fortsatz 21 und somit über dem Fortsatz 21. Wird das Bedienelement 2 in der Schieberichtung 4 verschoben, so ist keine vollständige Überlappung mehr gewährleistet.When moving the
Durch eine solche Ausgestaltung des Bedienelements 2 mit der Aussparung 10 einerseits und durch eine Ausgestaltung der Leiterplatte 18 mit dem Fortsatz 21 andererseits werden Blockiermittel 34 bereitgestellt, welche einerseits eine Bewegung des Bedienelements 2 in Drückrichtung 3 verhindern, wenn das Bedienelement 2 in der Schieberichtung 4 aus der Ausgangsstellung verschoben ist, und andererseits auch eine Verschiebung des Bedienelements 2 in Schieberichtung 4 mechanisch blockieren, wenn das Bedienelement 2 aus der Ausgangsstellung gedrückt wird.By such an embodiment of the
