Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Schaltvorrichtung zur Umwandlung von mechanischen axialen Zustellbewegungen in elektrische Schaltsignale nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a switching device for converting mechanical axial feed movements in electrical switching signals according to the preamble of
Aus der
Bei solchen Drucktasten, die auch als Kurzhubtasten in einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen und Ausgestaltungen bekannt sind, hat sich das Problem herausgebildet, dass unterschiedliche technische Geräte eine entsprechende Einbausituation aufweisen, so dass der Drucktaster an die jeweiligen geometrischen Verhältnisse anzupassen ist.In such push buttons, which are also known as short-stroke keys in a variety of applications and configurations, the problem has developed that different technical devices have a corresponding installation situation, so that the push-button is adapted to the respective geometric conditions.
Darüberhinaus weist jeder Drucktaster eine bestimmte Schalthaptik und einen bestimmten Schaltweg auf, die oftmals vom Hersteller des technischen Gerätes vorgegeben ist.In addition, each push button has a specific switching feel and a specific switching path, which is often specified by the manufacturer of the technical device.
Es ist daher erforderlich, für jede Einbausituation und für jede gewünschte Schalthaptik und Schaltweg des Geräteherstellers einen entsprechenden Druck- oder Kurzhubtaster bereit zu stellen.It is therefore necessary to provide a corresponding pressure or Kurzhubtaster for each installation situation and for any desired switching feel and switching path of the device manufacturer.
Solche unterschiedlich auszugestaltende Druck- oder Kurzhubtaster bzw. Schaltvorrichtungen sind in ihrer gesamten Bandbreite kostenintensiv in der Herstellung und es ist oftmals erforderlich, die entsprechenden geometrischen Einbauverhältnisse und die gewünschte Schalthaptik und Schaltweg in neue Konstruktionen für solche Schaltvorrichtungen einfließen zu lassen.Such different design print or Kurzhubtaster or switching devices are costly to manufacture in their entire bandwidth and it is often necessary to incorporate the corresponding geometric installation conditions and the desired switching feel and switching path in new designs for such switching devices.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Schaltvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Gattung derart weiterzubilden, dass durch diese unterschiedliche Einbauverhältnisse in technischen Geräten ausgleichbar sind sowie die jeweils gewünschte Schalthaptik und Schaltweg erzielbar ist, ohne dass dazu für jede neue Kundenanforderung eine andersartig ausgestaltete Schaltvorrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen ist. Vielmehr soll sich die erfindungsgemäße Schaltvorrichtung dadurch auszeichnen, dass diese modular aufgebaut ist, um die entsprechenden Einbauverhältnisse und die gewünschten Schalthaptiken und Schaltweg auf schnelle und einfache Weise aus einer Vielzahl von zur Verfügung stehenden elektrischen Geräten auswählen zu können.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a switching device of the type mentioned in such a way that can be compensated by these different installation conditions in technical equipment and each desired switching feel and switching path can be achieved without the need for each new customer request a differently configured switching device available is. Rather, the switching device according to the invention should be characterized in that it is modular in order to select the appropriate installation conditions and the desired switching haptics and switching path in a quick and easy way from a variety of available electrical equipment.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils von Patentanspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of
Weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.
Dadurch, dass die erfindungsgemäße Schaltvorrichtung einen Adapter aufweist, der zwischen der Betätigungstaste und dem Schaltkontakt angeordnet ist, kann vorteilhafterweise durch eine Auswahl des Adapters aus verschiedenartig ausgestalteten Adaptern die entsprechende geometrische Einbausituation ausgeglichen werden.Characterized in that the switching device according to the invention comprises an adapter which is arranged between the actuating button and the switching contact, the corresponding geometric installation situation can advantageously be compensated by a selection of the adapter from variously configured adapters.
Der Adapter ist dabei in einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Ausführungsvarianten vorhanden. Die Außengeometrie des Adapters ist an die geometrischen Verhältnisse der Schaltvorrichtung derart angepasst, dass jeder Adapter in die Schaltvorrichtung einbaubar ist, ohne dass die gesamte Schaltvorrichtung umzukonstruieren ist.The adapter is present in a variety of different design variants. The outer geometry of the adapter is adapted to the geometric conditions of the switching device such that each adapter can be installed in the switching device, without the entire switching device is to be redesigned.
Da jeder Adapter eine unterschiedliche Betätigungsfläche bezogen auf den Abstand zu dem Schaltkontakt aufweist, ist eine entsprechende Überbrückung des Hubweges der Betätigungstaste gegeben.Since each adapter has a different actuating surface based on the distance to the switching contact, a corresponding bridging of the stroke of the actuating button is given.
Sobald der Hubweg der Betätigungstaste durch den Adapter verlängert oder verkürzt ist, kann auch mit Hilfe des Adapters die Schalthaptik und Schaltweg der Schaltvorrichtung an den entsprechenden Kundenwunsch angepasst werden. Auch durch das zwischen einem Ringgehäuse, in dem der Adapter geführt gehalten ist, und der Betätigungstaste eingesetzten Federelement kann die Schalthaptik variiert werden. Je stärker nämlich die Vorspannkraft des Federelementes ausgewählt ist, desto schwerer lässt sich die Betätigungstaste in Richtung des Schaltkontaktes bewegen und vice versa.As soon as the stroke of the actuating button is extended or shortened by the adapter, the switching feel of the switching device can also be adapted to the corresponding customer request with the aid of the adapter. The switching feel can also be varied by the spring element inserted between a ring housing, in which the adapter is held guided, and the actuating button. Namely, the stronger the biasing force of the spring element is selected, the harder the actuating button can move in the direction of the switching contact and vice versa.
Darüberhinaus können mit Hilfe der unterschiedlich ausgestalteten Adapter auch mehrere auf der Leiterplatte angebrachte Schaltelemente gleichzeitig betätigt werden, wodurch die Redundanz, also die Schaltsicherheit, erhöht ist. Das System ist redundant. Sollte nämlich einer der Schaltelemente defekt sein, kann durch das oder die anderen benachbart dazu angeordneten Schaltelemente das entsprechende Schaltsignal generiert werden bzw. die elektrische Auswerteeinheit erkennt, wenn eine Betätigung, beispielsweise durch eine Schieflage der Betätigungstaste und des Adapters auf lediglich einen der Schaltelemente erfolgt, dass kein Schaltsignal zu erzeugen ist.Moreover, with the aid of differently configured adapters, a plurality of switching elements mounted on the printed circuit board can be actuated simultaneously, whereby the redundancy, ie the switching reliability, is increased. The system is redundant. If, in fact, one of the switching elements is defective, the corresponding switching signal can be generated by the or the other switching elements arranged adjacent thereto or the electrical evaluation unit detects when an actuation, for example due to an imbalance of the actuating key and the adapter, occurs on only one of the switching elements, that no switching signal is to be generated.
Die erfindungsgemäße Schaltvorrichtung kann als Einzelbauteil gefertigt sein und eine entsprechende Leiterplatte aufweisen, so dass diese lediglich über elektrische Leitungen an einem elektrischen Gerät zu verbinden ist, oder die Schaltvorrichtung ist derart gekapselt, dass der Aufnahmering und die Abdeckplatte sowie der Adapter und die Betätigungstaste ein Gehäuse bilden. Dabei kann dann der Aufnahmering auf einer Leiterplatte aufgerastet oder aufgeklipst werden.The switching device according to the invention may be manufactured as a single component and have a corresponding circuit board, so that it is only to be connected via electrical lines to an electrical device, or the switching device is encapsulated such that the receiving ring and the cover plate and the adapter and the operation key form a housing. In this case, then, the receiving ring can be snapped or clipped on a circuit board.
Aufgrund dieses modular ausgestalteten Gehäusekonzeptes der Schaltvorrichtung können diese sowohl an die geometrische Einbausituation eines elektrischen Gerätes angepasst werden oder die entsprechende Schaltvorrichtung wird elektrisch mit dem elektrischen Gerät verbunden, ohne dass an dem elektrischen Gerät Drucktaster vorzusehen sind.Because of this modular designed housing concept of the switching device, these can be adapted to both the geometric installation situation of an electrical device or the corresponding switching device is electrically connected to the electrical device without the push button must be provided on the electrical device.
