Generically, it has a hand from a rest position in at least two opposite directions relative to an abutment part displaceable and / or pivotable operating part. Further, magnetic return means for effecting the provision of the operating member are provided in the rest position. Depending on the mobility in at least two, four or in any direction up to a maximum circuit, it is in the control element according to the invention is a rocker switch, four-way switch or joystick. Detection means for generating a respective at least the maximum positions and the rest position of the operating part corresponding electrical signal are inventively and generically also provided.
  • the invention relates to an operating element for a plurality of switching and / or control functions, comprising: an abutment part and a manually movable from its rest position in at least two opposite directions relative to the abutment part and / or pivotable actuating part.
  • restoring means are also provided. These include, for example, one or more permanent magnets, ferromagnetic elements, electromagnets or combinations thereof.
  • Detection means are also provided according to the invention for generating an electrical signal corresponding in each case to at least the maximum positions and the rest position of the actuating part.

  • the magnetic return means comprise at least a first, operating part-side ring magnet and a second, Widerlagerteil solutionen ring magnet, which are arranged in the rest position so that their end faces facing each other and spaced, that they arranged the operating part against the abutment part pulling and that they are concentric.
  • This embodiment is not only a wear causes a provision, but it is by tightening the operating part reached to the abutment part a mutual support, in which can be advantageously dispensed with an articulated mechanical connection between the two.
  • a securing device for example, on the housing or on the abutment part is further provided to secure the operating member against loss.
  • the haptic feedback on actuation of the operating part can be designed as required by corresponding dimensioning of the ring magnets.
  • the actuating part is rotatable about an axis of rotation and the ring magnets are arranged concentrically to the axis of rotation.
  • the rotatable mounting is realized for example by a sliding bearing between the abutment part and actuating part. Due to the additional degree of freedom, the operating part can be assigned an additional switching or control function when rotating the operating part.
  • the rotation and / or the rotational position are detected, for example, by optical, magnetic detection means.
  • the first and second ring magnet are each polarized perpendicular to the direction of movement.
  • At least the mutually facing end faces of the ring magnets are congruent.
  • the ring magnets preferably have an identical dimension and configuration.
  • the maximum position is selected so that formed in vertical projection of the facing end faces of the ring magnets in the axial direction of a common plane between the end faces of a crescent-shaped surface. This points For example, a maximum distance of the sickle edges of less than 1mm, for example, 0.5 mm.
  • the actuating member is monostable, that is, outside the rest position, the restoring force is never zero.
  • the ring magnets are designed and arranged so that in the range of movement of the operating part, the restoring force has a local maximum for generating a latching feel.
  • the maximum rate of decline in the restoring force after only one part for example about half or about two-thirds of the maximum possible deflection, also leads to the maximum position being unavoidably reached after overcoming the maximum return and the subsequent demolition. This increases the reliability of operation and at the same time gives the user haptic feedback.
  • the at least two opposite directions of movement define a line or a curve, more preferably at least one circle segment.
  • the abutment part comprises one or more sliding or rolling elements for supporting the operating part. It is provided in a further embodiment, a cage for receiving and guiding the rolling elements.
  • the detection means comprise means for non-contact detection of the position of the operating part or the operating part side ring magnet. More preferably, it is at least one optical and / or magnetic sensor.
  • the ring magnets are provided exclusively for resetting or haptic feedback.
  • sensors and encoders be provided, by means of which the movement of the actuating part is detected.
  • an embodiment should be included, in which at least the actuating part-side ring magnet acts as an encoder for one or more sensors, for example Hall sensors.
  • the operating element is advantageously used in a motor vehicle, for example as a control element for controlling the vehicle air conditioning.
  • the figures show a simplified schematic representation of the structure and operation of the operating element 1 according to the invention.
  • the operating element 1 has an abutment part 3 and an actuating part 2.
  • the abutment part 3 has a the actuating part 2 facing, convex surface.
  • the actuating part 2 has a complementary to the aforementioned surface of the abutment part 3, the abutment part 3 facing, concave surface.
  • the actuating part 2 is freely displaceable or pivotable relative to the abutment part 3. The respective position can be detected by a detection device, not shown.
  • the abutment part 3 comprises a roller bearing device for the displacement of the actuating part 2 facilitate and minimize wear.
  • the rolling bearing device has a plurality of annularly arranged balls 6, which are guided by a cage 7 at a uniform distance.
  • a cage 7 In addition to the displacement rotation of the operating part 2 is possible, see the movement arrows 10, wherein the displacement in all directions is further also allowed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing and limited here only for the purpose of better illustration, the movement in the directions shown in the arrows 10 will be described below.
  • the movement of the actuating part 2 is limited by the guided through a through hole 11 in the abutment part pin 8, wherein the pin 8 is further secured as a securing device on its terminal plate-shaped, for example, screwed widening and the bushing 9 against falling out.
  • abutment part For a separation of actuator part 2 and 3 abutment part is made largely impossible.
  • each annular grooves are incorporated, in each of which an annular permanent magnet 4, 5, hereinafter also called ring magnet, is used.
  • the ring magnets 4, 5 have the same dimensions and are polarized parallel to their axial direction, ie rotational symmetry axis.
  • the ring magnets 4, 5, are arranged so that unlike poles and the end faces in the in Fig. 1 spaced from each other shown rest position.
  • the ring magnets 4, 5 are further arranged in the rest position concentric with the axis of rotation of the actuating part 2.
  • the ring magnets 4, 5 cause the provision in the in Fig. 1 shown rest position.
  • the actuation part-side ring magnet 4 moves away with his lying in the direction of movement front and rear ring sections of the respective ring sections of the abutment part side ring magnet 5.
  • the maximum position is that the actuation part-side ring magnet 4 is moved more than by the thickness of the wall of the abutment part side ring magnet 5 , Preferably, the offset of the ring magnets 4, 5, so the projected distance between the inner diameter of the operating part side ring magnet 4 and the outer diameter of the abutment part side ring magnet 5 in the Maximum position and in the relevant displacement direction between about or exactly 1.0 mm and about or exactly 5.0 mm.
  • the relative movement of the ring magnets 4, 5 is in the detail views of FIGS. 3A and 3B clarified.
  • the FIG. 4 shows the course of the restoring force as a function of the deflection. This increases sharply with the displacement of the operating part from the rest position until reaching the local maximum F max .
  • the restoring force breaks down without completely returning to zero. After that, the maximum position is reached at S max by impacting.
  • the above-described collapse of the restoring force also referred to as "snap"
  • the increase in the restoring force subsequent burglary also ensures that the maximum position, if once the maximum restoring force F max has been overcome, is achieved reliably and almost inevitably. This increases the reproducibility and reliability in the operation.
