Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement of pushbutton switches with a programmable display, in particular a display with OLED (short for "organic light-emitting diode”) diodes included in the push-button head and supported on a push-button actuator member having limited linear shift play inside an enclosure body that has an affixed micro switch, which is activated by said linear shift when the push-button is operated.
  • a programmable display in particular a display with OLED (short for "organic light-emitting diode”) diodes included in the push-button head and supported on a push-button actuator member having limited linear shift play inside an enclosure body that has an affixed micro switch, which is activated by said linear shift when the push-button is operated.
  • OLED short for "organic light-emitting diode”
  • the invention provides, to that effect, a support structure of a plurality of pushbutton switches that are coupled to a printed circuit board forming a functional arrangement, so that any of the pushbutton switches of the arrangement may be easily replaced without the need of handling connection cables.
  • Each of the pushbutton switches further comprises an enclosure body made of a light-conducting material that is associated in said support structure to lighting LED diodes so as to provide lighting to a frame of said enclosure body.
  • Said LED diodes may in turn be connected via said printed circuit board to a control unit for their dynamic activation, generating movement effects in the luminous aureole provided.
  • Switching devices that include a display in their head are known from documents EP-A1-1347363 and EP-A1-1589551 .
  • Patent applications EP-A1- 2110833 and EP-A1- 2211361 describe such pushbutton switches with and OLED display.
  • US-B1-8410383 describes, as prior art, a plurality of pushbutton switches grouped together in a unit via a support structure according to the general characteristics defined in the preamble of claim 1, i.e. formed by an assembly panel, a printed circuit board and a shielding plate fixed to one another in a sandwich arrangement, but where each pushbutton switch is coupled to the support structure through auxiliary boards and support frames attached to the printed circuit board, so that when there is a need of removing one of the pushbutton switches, for example in order to substitute it because of malfunctioning, such a substitution task is a very laborious task, because in order to carry it out it is necessary, first, uncoupling the whole support structure so that the assembly panel can be removed and, then, individually uncoupling the damaged pushbutton switch from its respective support frame.
  • the invention proposes a support structure and integration means of a plurality of push-buttons in an assisting and/or connecting printed circuit board (it may include local control units) that involve a remarkable simplification with respect to said background art and an improvement of the capabilities, especially with respect to the mentioned substitution of a damaged pushbutton switch, being possible to perform such a task in a simple manner without having to uncouple the whole support structure but only individually the pushbutton switch.
  • the invention is intended for grouping an arrangement of pushbutton switches with a programmable display in an operating unit or block, each of which comprises a display, visible from outside, installed in an actuator member of the push-button that exhibits limited linear shift play inside an enclosure body that has an affixed micro switch, which is activated by said linear shift when the push-button is operated.
  • Said display is covered by a lens and by a transparent cover.
  • a support structure comprising:
  • the enclosure body of each pushbutton switch comprises, in turn:
  • said immobilizing means comprise a nut with a coupling configuration to be coupled to said tubular shaft by a respective complementary coupling configuration integrated with or attached to the tubular shaft, so that said nut is tight against said shielding plate, suitably securing the pushbutton switch.
  • Said coupling configurations are, for a preferred embodiment, bayonet coupling configurations, although, for other embodiments, less preferred, other kind of coupling configurations are possible, such as those formed by complementary screw threads.
  • the printed circuit board includes one or several LEDs that, in an assembled situation, are close to walls of said enclosure body of each of the pushbutton switches, said enclosure being made of a light-conducting material so that the lighting of said LEDs is transferred through the enclosure body to said bezel above the panel.
  • the invention proposes an arrangement of pushbutton switches with a programmable display, wherein said display 54, visible from the outside, is arranged in an actuator member of the push-button 58 having limited linear shift play inside an enclosure body 50 that includes an affixed micro switch, which is activated by said linear shift when the push-button is operated.
  • Said arrangement of pushbutton switches is formed by means of a support structure 70 that comprises, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 :
  • the enclosure body 50 of each of the pushbutton switches comprises, as shown in Figure 3 and especially in Figure 4 :
  • Each enclosure body 50 is attached to the support structure 70 by removable immobilizing means of said appendix relative to said shielding plate 30.
  • the enclosure body 50 has a cup shaped configuration that incorporates a connector 56 in its bottom for a flexible, flat, multifilament conductor 55 of said display 54, and said appendix is made up by a tubular shaft 51 that extends from the bottom of the enclosure body 50.
  • the enclosure body 50 comprises a second connector 56a for the connection of the micro switch 16, being both connectors 56, 56a electrically connected to the connector 57.
  • a small printed circuit board is arranged, to which the connector 56 and the micro switch 16 are attached (the latter, directly or through the second connector 56a), and their metallic terminals are welded to conductive tracks of the small circuit printed board, said small printed circuit board being configured and arranged to electrically connect the connector 57 with the connector 56 (and thus with the display 54) and with the micro switch 16.
  • two connectors are arranged at the lower face of the printed circuit board 20, one for electrical supply thereof and the other for bidirectional data communication (such as a USB connector) with a "host" of central computer, for example of an amusement machine, allowing the hot connexion/disconnection, i.e. the hot swap, of the whole assembly with respect to said host, to which purpose the latter must be prepared, both at a hardware (electrical protection devices) and at a software level.
  • Said immobilizing means comprise, in a preferred embodiment, a nut 60, for instance a bayonet coupling one, associable to said tubular shaft 51, which includes a complementary coupling configuration, so that said nut 60 is tight against said shielding plate 30.
  • the printed circuit board 20 includes one or several LEDs 22 that, in an assembled situation, are close to walls of said enclosure body 50, which is made of a light-conducting material so that the lighting of said LEDs is transferred through the enclosure body 58 to said bezel 50a above the panel 10.
  • This printed circuit board and/or an auxiliary board includes a microcontroller 25 (in figure 2 it is the auxiliary board 24 the one which includes the microcontroller 25) governing all the displays 54 and the operation of the lighting LEDs 22 of the pushbutton switches of the arrangement.
  • the printed circuit board 20 further includes, in its face opposite the push-buttons, connectors for connecting other standard pushbutton switches lacking an OLED display.
  • each pushbutton switch is made up by a set of organic light-emitting diodes OLEDs, and the control device of each display is arranged on the printed circuit board 20 or on said auxiliary board 24 connected to said printed circuit board 20, for example through a connector 24a of the auxiliary board 24 to be coupled to a complementary connector (not shown) of the printed circuit board 20.
  • the display 54 is retained inside an actuator body 58 (constituting the above called actuator member 58) by a support 59 presenting jambs that are clamped by side elastic pins of the push-button actuator 58.
  • the actuator body 58 comprises a first housing for said display 54 and a second housing above thereof for a lens 53 and a cover 52.
  • the panel 10 comprises openings 11, 12 of at least two sizes so as to house push-button bodies 50 of different dimensions.
