Since the actuating part is mounted axially symmetrically to the interior about the axis pivotally, air must be displaced from the interior of the operating unit in any position of the operating part. For this reason, the arrangement is more complicated Bleed holes not necessary. Thus, the operating part and the housing part can be completely encapsulated from the environment, in particular shielded, whereby, for example, dirt or moisture can not penetrate into the interior. Thus, the electronics in the interior of the actuator is protected, whereby the life of the device according to the invention and its functional properties can be significantly increased. Consequently, it can be dispensed in the present invention, the conductor elements and / or the elastically deformable contact element consuming enclose with potting compound, resin or the like watertight, since the actuator unit according to the invention, in particular its interior is completely encapsulated by the environment.
In einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist ein Halteelement derart am Gehäuseteil befestigt, dass gleichzeitig das Kontaktelement zuverlässig in seiner Position gehalten ist. Somit kann über ein konstruktiv wenig aufwendiges Halteelement das Kontaktelement zuverlässig in seiner Position am Gehäuseteil gehalten werden. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass ohne Halteelement das Kontaktelement direkt am Gehäuseteil befestigt ist.In one possible embodiment of the invention, a retaining element is fastened to the housing part in such a way that at the same time the contact element is reliably held in its position. Thus, the contact element can be reliably held in its position on the housing part via a structurally less expensive retaining element. It is also conceivable that without holding element, the contact element is attached directly to the housing part.
Die Leiterelemente verlaufen vorteilhafterweise durch die Wandung des Gehäuseteils und werden mit einem elektrischen Stecker verbunden. Hierbei kann es sich um einen abdichtenden Stecker handeln, wodurch der Innenraum vollständig vom Außenbereich abgeschlossen ist. Ferner ist es denkbar, dass die Leiterelemente zumindest bereichsweise mit einem Vergussmaterial oder Klebmittel versehen sind, insbesondere dort, wo die Leiterelemente den Innenraum der Betätigungseinheit verlassen. Hierdurch ist ebenfalls eine zuverlässige Abkapselung des Innenraumes möglich.The conductor elements advantageously extend through the wall of the housing part and are connected to an electrical connector. This may be a sealing plug, whereby the interior is completely closed from the outside. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the conductor elements are provided at least in regions with a potting material or adhesive, in particular where the conductor elements leave the interior of the actuator unit. As a result, a reliable encapsulation of the interior is also possible.
In einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind das Betätigungsteil und das Gehäuseteil an ihren umlaufenden Randbereichen stoffschlüssig miteinander verbunden. Hierbei ist es denkbar, dass die Randbereiche des Betätigungsteiles und des Gehäuseteils miteinander laserverschweißt sind. Ebenfalls sind weitere stoffschlüssige Verbindungen, wie beispielsweise die Klebeverbindung, denkbar.In one possible embodiment of the invention, the actuating part and the housing part are integrally connected to one another at their peripheral edge regions. It is conceivable that the edge regions of the actuating part and the housing part are laser welded together. Likewise, other cohesive connections, such as the adhesive connection, are conceivable.
Zweckmäßigerweise verläuft die Achse, um die das Betätigungsteil achsensymmetrisch zum Innenraum schwenkbar ist, innerhalb des Innenraumes. Hierfür können beispielsweise entsprechende Lagerungen im Innenraum der Betätigungseinheit vorgesehen sein, an denen das Betätigungsteil bei einer manuellen Aktivierung sich bewegt und somit über die Aktivierung des Kontaktelementes ein entsprechendes Signal auslöst. Die Konstruktion der Betätigungseinheit kann ebenfalls derart gestaltet sein, dass die Schwenkachse, um die das Betätigungsteil sich achsensymmetrisch zum Innenraum dreht, außerhalb des Innenraumes verläuft. Hierfür können entsprechende Lagerstellen vorgesehen sein, die für eine achsensymmetrische Bewegung zum Innenraum während der Aktivierung des Betätigungsteils sorgen.Expediently, the axis about which the actuating part is axially symmetrical to the interior, extends within the interior. For this purpose, for example, corresponding bearings may be provided in the interior of the actuator, where the actuating member moves upon manual activation and thus triggers a corresponding signal via the activation of the contact element. The construction of the actuating unit can also be designed such that the pivot axis about which the actuating part rotates axially symmetrically to the interior, outside of the interior space. For this purpose, corresponding bearings can be provided, which provide for an axisymmetric movement to the interior during the activation of the operating part.
In einer möglichen Ausführungsform der Betätigungseinheit umfasst das Gehäuseteil einen Konturkörper, an dem das Halteelement oder das Kontaktelement befestigt ist. Der Konturkörper kann beispielsweise als eine Art Podest aus dem Gehäuseteil sich in Richtung des Betätigungsteils erstrecken. Um die Montage des Kontaktelementes zu erleichtern, ist das Halteelement oder das Kontaktelement am Konturkörper form- und/oder kraftschlüssig befestigt. Beispielsweise kann hier eine Rast- oder Klipsverbindung vorgesehen sein, die das Kontaktelement zuverlässig zwischen dem Halteelement und den Leiterelementen hält. Vorteilhafterweise ist vorgesehen, dass der Konturkörper mit mindestens einem Fixierungselement ausgeführt ist, an dem das Halteelement oder das Kontaktelement befestigt ist.In one possible embodiment of the actuating unit, the housing part comprises a contoured body to which the holding element or the contact element is fastened. The contoured body can extend, for example, as a kind of pedestal out of the housing part in the direction of the actuating part. In order to facilitate the assembly of the contact element, the holding element or the contact element on the contoured body is positively and / or non-positively attached. For example, here a detent or clip connection can be provided, which reliably holds the contact element between the holding element and the conductor elements. Advantageously, it is provided that the contoured body is designed with at least one fixing element to which the holding element or the contact element is attached.
Vorteilhafterweise ist das Gehäuseteil mit einseitig offenen Kanälen ausgebildet, in denen jeweils ein Leiterelement sich erstreckt. Die offenen Kanäle sind Führungsbahnen, um bei der Montage das Leiterelement in das Gehäuseteil zuverlässig einzulegen. Hierbei verlaufen die Kanäle vorteilhafterweise parallel zueinander. Die offenen Kanäle erstrecken sich in Richtung eines am Gehäuseteil ausgebildeten Hülsenelementes, in den die Leiterelemente münden. Das Hülsenelement hat hierbei die Funktion eines elektrischen Steckers, der mit außerhalb der Betätigungseinheit vorgesehenen elektrischen Bauteilen verbunden werden kann.Advantageously, the housing part is formed with channels open on one side, in each of which a conductor element extends. The open channels are guideways to reliably insert the conductor element into the housing part during assembly. In this case, the channels advantageously run parallel to one another. The open channels extend in the direction of a sleeve member formed on the housing part, into which the conductor elements open. The sleeve element in this case has the function of an electrical connector that can be connected to outside of the operating unit provided electrical components.
Die Leiterelemente können zumindest bereichsweise mit einer Oberfläche ausgestaltet sein, die verzahnungsartig ausgebildet ist und die auf das Gehäuseteil wirkt, wodurch eine zuverlässige Fixierung des Leiterelementes innerhalb des Innenraumes der Betätigungseinheit erzielbar ist. Das Leiterelement kann hierbei ein oder mehrere Verzahnungen aufweisen, die bei der Montage in das Material des Gehäuseteils zumindest an seiner Oberfläche eindringen und somit eine zuverlässige Fixierung des Leiterelementes innerhalb des offenen Kanals sorgen. Hierdurch wird verhindert, dass bei der Gesamtmontage der Betätigungseinheit das Leiterelement ungewollt durch etwaige Vibrationen an der Betätigungseinheit sich aus dem Kanal löst.The conductor elements may be configured, at least in some areas, with a surface which is designed in the manner of a toothing and which acts on the housing part, as a result of which reliable fixing of the conductor element within the interior of the actuation unit can be achieved. In this case, the conductor element can have one or more toothings which, on assembly, penetrate into the material of the housing part at least on its surface and thus ensure reliable fixing of the conductor element within the open channel. This prevents that in the overall assembly of the operating unit, the conductor element unintentionally released by any vibrations on the actuator unit from the channel.
Zweckmäßigerweise weist das Leiterelement mindestens ein vorsprungartiges Anschlagmittel auf, dass ein ungewolltes Herausziehen des Leiterelementes aus dem Innenraum verhindert. Hierbei ist es denkbar, dass über eine entsprechende Zugkraft am freien Ende des Leiterelementes innerhalb des Hülsenelementes das Leiterelement ungewollt aus der Betätigungseinheit gezogen werden kann. Das Anschlagmittel, das beispielsweise quer zur Erstreckung des stabförmigen Leiterelementes angeordnet ist, bieten hierbei eine ausreichende Widerstandskraft am Material des Gehäuseteils.Appropriately, the conductor element has at least one projection-like stop means that prevents unintentional pulling out of the conductor element from the interior. It is conceivable that over an appropriate tensile force at the free end of the conductor element within the sleeve member, the conductor element can be unintentionally pulled out of the actuator unit. The stop means, which is arranged for example transversely to the extension of the rod-shaped conductor element, in this case provide a sufficient resistance to the material of the housing part.
In einer die Erfindung verbessernden Maßnahme weist das Halteelement einen Durchbruch auf, so dass eine Kontaktierung des Kontaktelementes durch den Stößel erzielbar ist. Bei dem Kontaktelement kann es sich beispielsweise um ein gewölbtes Hartmetallplättchen, Schnappscheibe handeln. Durch eine vorbestimmte, auf die konkav gewölbte Oberfläche ausgeübte Druckkraft des Stößels beult das Kontaktelement durch und schlägt mit seiner zuvor konvex gewölbten Oberfläche auf die Kontaktflächen der Leiterelemente auf. Damit ist der elektrische Kontakt zwischen den Leiterelementen hergestellt. Vorteilhafterweise wirkt auf das Betätigungsteil eine Rückstellkraft, die stets versucht, das Betätigungsteil in seine Ausgangsposition, bei der kein elektrischer Kontakt zwischen den Leiterelementen vorliegt, zurückzubewegen. Beispielsweise kann die Rückstellkraft unter anderem oder allein vom Kontaktelement ausgehen, das bestrebt ist, bei nachlassender Betätigungskraft am Betätigungsteil schlagartig in seine vorgewölbte Ausgangslage zurückzukehren. Ebenfalls ist es denkbar, dass die Rückstellkraft über ein Federelement erzeugt wird, die den Rückstellprozess des Betätigungsteils unterstützt. Um das Kontaktelement vor einer kraftmäßigen Überlastung zu schützen, kann die Betätigungseinheit Begrenzungsmittel aufweisen, die eine Auslenkbewegung des Betätigungsteils beschränken.In a measure improving the invention, the holding element has an opening, so that a contacting of the contact element by the plunger can be achieved. The contact element may be, for example, a curved hard metal plate, snap disk. By a predetermined, exerted on the concave surface pressure force of the plunger bulges the contact element and strikes with its previously convex curved surface on the contact surfaces of the conductor elements. Thus, the electrical contact between the conductor elements is made. Advantageously, a restoring force acts on the actuating part, which always tries to move the actuating part back into its starting position, in which there is no electrical contact between the conductor elements. For example, the restoring force may, inter alia, or solely from the contact element, which endeavors to return abruptly to its bulging starting position as the actuating force on the actuating part decreases. It is also conceivable that the restoring force is generated via a spring element which supports the return process of the operating part. Around To protect the contact element from a force overload, the actuator unit may have limiting means which limit a deflection movement of the actuating part.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Betätigungsteil als ein Mehr-Komponenten-Spritzgussteil aus Kunststoff ausgeführt. Hierbei kann das Betätigungsteil aus einer Hartkomponente und einer Weichkomponente bestehen, wobei der Randbereich des Betätigungsteils, der mit dem Gehäuseteil befestigt ist, sowie der Stößel aus der Weichkomponente besteht. Der Zentralbereich des Betätigungsteils besteht hingegen aus einer Hartkomponente, an der Rastmittel vorgesehen sind, die mit korrespondierendem Gegenrastmittel am Gehäuseteil miteinander verbunden sind. Hierbei kann ein erstes Rastmittel schalenartig ausgebildet sein und das zweite Rastmittel, das als korrespondierendes Gegenrastmittel ausgeführt ist, kann durch das erste Rastmittel gehalten werden. Vorteilhafterweise weist das zweite Rastmittel einen Lagerkörper auf, der formschlüssig am ersten Rastmittel gehalten ist, wobei das zweite Rastmittel drehbar am ersten Rastmittel gelagert ist, so dass das Betätigungsteil zuverlässig bei einer Aktivierung durch den Benutzer verschwenkt werden kann. Hierbei verläuft vorteilhafterweise die Schwenkachse des Betätigungsteils durch das erste und das zweite Rastmittel. Das erste Rastmittel kann beispielsweise am Gehäuseteil und das zweite Rastmittel kann hingegen am Betätigungsteil angeordnet sein. Um eine zuverlässige Lagerung des Betätigungsteils am Gehäuseteil zu gewährleisten, besteht das Rastmittel des Betätigungsteils sowie des Gehäuseteils aus der Hartkomponente.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the actuating part is designed as a multi-component plastic injection molded part. Here, the operating part may consist of a hard component and a soft component, wherein the edge region of the actuating part, which is fastened to the housing part, and the plunger consists of the soft component. The central region of the actuating part, however, consists of a hard component, are provided on the locking means, which are connected to each other with corresponding counter-locking means on the housing part. Here, a first locking means may be formed like a shell and the second locking means, which is designed as a corresponding counter-locking means, can be held by the first locking means. Advantageously, the second latching means on a bearing body which is held positively on the first latching means, wherein the second latching means is rotatably mounted on the first latching means, so that the actuating part can be reliably pivoted upon activation by the user. In this case, advantageously, the pivot axis of the actuating part extends through the first and the second latching means. The first locking means may, for example, on the housing part and the second locking means, however, may be arranged on the actuating part. In order to ensure reliable storage of the actuating part on the housing part, the latching means of the actuating part and of the housing part consists of the hard component.
Durch die Ausführung des Stößels mit der Weichkomponente wird eine für den Benutzer ansprechende Haptik bei Aktivierung des Betätigungsteils geschaffen. Des weiteren bewirkt die Weichkomponente, dass auch bei einer etwas größeren Kraft auf das Betätigungsteil ein entsprechender Hubausgleich über eine Deformation des Stößels erzielt werden kann, wodurch die Gefahr einer Beschädigung des Kontaktelementes reduziert werden kann. Vorteilhafterweise liegt der mechanische Widerstand der Weichkomponente zwischen 30 Shore-A und 70 Shore-A.By the execution of the plunger with the soft component a responsive to the user feel when activating the operating part is created. Furthermore, the soft component causes even with a slightly greater force on the operating part, a corresponding stroke compensation can be achieved via a deformation of the plunger, whereby the risk of damage to the contact element can be reduced. Advantageously, the mechanical resistance of the soft component is between 30 Shore A and 70 Shore A.
Ebenfalls ist es in einer Ausführungsform denkbar, dass das Kontaktelement mit mindestens einem Befestigungsabschnitt mit jeweils einer Öffnung ausgeführt ist, durch die das Fixierungselement ragt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform ist das Kontaktelement direkt mit dem Konturkörper des Gehäuseteils verbunden, ohne dass ein Halteelement notwendig ist. Hierdurch kann eine weitere Vereinfachung der Gesamtkonstruktion der Betätigungseinheit erzielt werden.It is also conceivable in one embodiment that the contact element is designed with at least one fastening portion, each having an opening through which protrudes the fixing element. In this embodiment, the contact element is connected directly to the contoured body of the housing part, without a retaining element is necessary. As a result, a further simplification of the overall construction of the actuating unit can be achieved.
Vorteilhafterweise ist der Befestigungsabschnitt im Bereich der Öffnung mit einem Flügelelement ausgeführt, das am Fixierungselement angreift, insbesondere schräg zum Fixierungselement ausgerichtet ist, wodurch eine zuverlässige Befestigung des Kontaktelementes am Gehäuseteil sichergestellt ist.Advantageously, the attachment portion is designed in the region of the opening with a wing element which engages the fixing element, in particular is aligned obliquely to the fixing element, whereby a reliable attachment of the contact element is ensured on the housing part.
