Definitions

  • the invention relates to a push-button compact component comprising an actuating head with a base body on which at least one guide projection is arranged, and a sleeve, in which a locking element is arranged via a spring element.
  • Such pushbuttons are regularly used for command input to so-called machine / human interfaces. Not only a use for the switching of control currents, but also for power circuits is conceivable by the push-button is used as a trigger for circuit breakers. At this push button high demands are made in terms of life, robustness, sealing of the electrical part against water and dirt and cost-effective and process-reliable manufacturability.
  • Control 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 mounting part such as a ring nut or a mounting bracket and one or more switching elements, which are designed as normally closed or normally closed contacts.
  • the actuator is usually guided from the front through a hole in the dash panel and mounted from behind by means of a fastening part.
  • the switching elements are mechanically fastened with screws, snap hooks or bolts on the actuator or on the fastening part. The electrical connection of the switching elements to the controller via terminals.
  • the actuator must meet multi-layered requirements. For example, they should be easy to assemble and to be as attractive as possible for the customers.
  • the basis for every actuator is that it forwards defined switching position information and maintains the switching position.
  • the product group emergency stop command device it is particularly important to maintain the switching position so that the safety circuit is protected against being switched on again. To ensure this function, it is necessary to mount the locking mechanism securely in the rosette.
  • a push button which is composed of a mushroom top, a lock, a plunger top, a compression spring, a torsion spring, a plunger with a spring and a locking ball and a housing part.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a pushbutton in the form of a functional unit, which can be easily checked and processed further.
  • the push-button compact component in particular the mushroom cover assembly is structurally designed so that they directly or only later, without additional assurance of in a solid functioning assembly of mushroom cover, crossover spring, seal, sliding sleeve, slide and slide spring Components, can be processed.
  • the fixed or movable connection of the assembly component can be ensured, for example, by welding, snapping or another connection technique.
  • the core of the invention consists here in the technical combination of the individual components to a fixed assembly, which can be processed flexibly. This results in the advantage that the preassembled module can be checked at any time and further processed as a compact unit. An additional verification of the function or a single component query in the subsequent can be omitted because the assembly is captive secured. This results in a total of essential Advantages for the required assembly time in the manufacture of components and also the flexibility of the assembly concepts, ie manual, semi or fully automated production is significantly increased. Thus, even for the startup and run-up can be automated piece-number optimized.
  • two guide projections are arranged on the main body, which are in operative connection with two locking slides in the sleeve.
  • the emergency stop devices usually have a very limited installation space for a locking / unlocking system available. It is therefore problematic to develop a system that withstands the life required the required actuation-unlocking forces and remains functional.
  • the main problem is the material wear on the working surfaces of moving parts and the safe locking in the latching position.
  • two slides are installed with their own springs in a plane parallel to each other, both of which can simultaneously contribute to locking or unlocking.
  • the slides themselves and the mounting parts can be made of different materials and designed differently, for example, transparent with a recess for a light channel.
  • both sliders can lock the emergency stop state with double security. That is, if a pusher suffers material failure, such as spring breakage or material wear, the second pusher can still fully lock the system.
  • material failure such as spring breakage or material wear
  • the forces are distributed to two slides, which is associated with an advantage when the operation is triggered with a very strong force.
  • Parallel slides allow a larger slide to be installed, which has a positive effect on the stability of the system.
  • a larger latching force is enabled.
  • the locking slide are arranged opposite one another in the sleeve.
  • the locking slides are designed simultaneously for locking or for unlocking.
  • Parallel slides allow you to install a larger slider, which has a positive effect on the stability of the system.
  • a larger latching force is enabled.
  • two parallel in a plane built-in slide there is the advantage that two independent springs can be installed, which work separately. This double security in the event of a spring break is given. It is also advantageous that there is a reduction in the size of the command device.
  • the push-button compact component can be assembled in an automated production line. This advantage results from the fact that the technical combination the individual components to a fixed assembly, in particular to the compact component, can be processed flexibly. This results in the advantage that the preassembled module can be checked at any time and further processed as a compact unit.
  • the composite push-button compact component is made of actuating head with body, spring element, sleeve with at least one spring-loaded locking slide in a further spring element and an outer housing. It is essential to the invention that the guide projections on the main body of the actuating head, the spring-loaded slide firmly position in the sleeve, without the risk that the locking slide or the spring elements solve and move freely in the push button.
  • the guide projections on the main body of the actuating head cause the actuating head with body, spring element, sleeve can be made with at least one spring-loaded locking slide as a compact component.
  • the push-button compact component is insertable with an outer housing in a skirt. Due to the compact design of the push-button compact component, the further production steps advantageously fit together, whereby the overall assembly time can be shortened.
