Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical switching device according to claim 1.
  • the electrical switching device can be designed in particular as a position switch, limit switches, micro-switches or other limit switches.
  • Such electrical switching devices are used, for example, for the monitoring of mechanical variables, for example for the shutdown of electrical machines when a security door is opened.
  • a position sensor with an alignment mechanism known.
  • a position switch with a rotating head emerges.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved in particular in terms of functionality and manufacturability electrical switching device.
  • the invention has the advantage that mechanically robust components are proposed, which are inexpensive to produce and offer a favorable, ergonomic handling for the user.
  • the electrical switching contacts are arranged in the housing of the electrical switching device and can be contacted there via cables.
  • an actuator present which can be secured against rotation on the housing of the switching device in different rotational angle positions, which has the advantage that the switching device can be used very universally and a simple adaptation to different detection tasks by adjusting the rotational angle position is possible.
  • a clasp is proposed which engages over both parts, namely by being slidable over at least a portion of the actuator and at least a portion of the housing of the switching device.
  • the sliding movement which can be guided by corresponding guide grooves, is easy to carry out by the user. It can be attached to the housing of the switching device in a simple and ergonomic manner, the actuator.
  • the clasp is slidable only along a translational straight line over at least part of the actuator and at least part of the housing of the switching device.
  • the degrees of freedom of movement are limited when using the clip for attaching the actuator to the housing of the switching device. This simplifies the attachment of the clip for the user.
  • the actuator can be mounted in different rotational angular positions on the housing of the switching device.
  • the actuator may be provided that the actuator is only in different discrete rotational angular positions, e.g. at certain angular intervals, can be fastened.
  • discrete rotational angular positions e.g. at certain angular intervals, can be fastened.
  • discrete rotational angle positions e.g. 4, 6, 8 or more discrete rotational angle positions may be provided.
  • the clip has at least one Axialfixierstoff by which the actuator is fixed in the direction of its longitudinal axis relative to the housing of the switching device.
  • the actuator has a circumferential groove into which a web of the clip is immersed to form the at least one Axialfixierstoff.
  • the clip has at least one Rotationsfixierstoff, by means of which the actuator is fixed against rotation with respect to its longitudinal axis relative to the housing of the switching device.
  • This has the advantage that the clip acts as a further function for preventing rotation of the actuator.
  • a multifunctional clasp can be specified which combines a multiplicity of advantageous functions in one component.
  • the clasp may be formed in particular both with the at least one Axialfixierstoff and with the at least one Rotationsfixierstoff.
  • the at least one Axialfixierstoff has a different outer shape than the at least one Rotationsfixierstoff.
  • the Axialfixierstoff and the Rotationsfixierstoff may be formed as different parts of the clasp. It is possible to arrange the at least one Axialfixierstoff with spatial distance to the at least one Rotationsfixierstoff on the clip. This has the advantage that not the same part of the clasp must serve as Axialfixierstoff and Rotationsfixierstoff. The burden on the individual fixative is thereby reduced.
  • the Axialfixierstoff can be designed independently of the Rotationsfixierstoff and designed to be constructive, since both fixing means are decoupled from each other.
  • the clip with its Rotationsfixierstoffn and the separate Axialfixierstoffn each in direct mechanical contact with the actuator.
  • the clip has a trained in the form of a nub or tooth Rotationsfixierstoff, which is adapted to engage in a recess of a plurality of arranged on the circumference of the actuator recesses.
  • the recesses may e.g. be formed in the form of blind holes, notches, grooves or other depressions.
  • the clip is slidable in a non-parallel to the longitudinal axis of the actuator direction, in particular in a direction perpendicular thereto, over at least a portion of the actuator and at least a portion of the housing of the switching device.
  • the clip has at least one securing means which is adapted to cooperate with at least one receiving means designed as a counterpart on the housing of the switching device for securing the clip on the housing of the switching device.
  • the securing means may be formed, for example, as a latching fastening means be, which engages after pushing the clip on the housing of the switching device at the local receiving means.
  • the latching connection can for example be designed so that it can only be solved by tools.
  • the at least one securing means in cooperation with the at least one receiving means allows a limited displaceability of the clip relative to the housing of the switching device to an end stop, in which the clip is still secured to the housing of the switching device.
  • the actuator of the switching device can be removed and / or rotated about its longitudinal axis when the at least one securing means is displaced towards the end stop.
  • This has the advantage that the clasp does not have to be completely removed from the housing, but the displacement path within the secured area can be used to remove the actuator from the indexing device or attach it to it, e.g. to replace an actuator, or to select a desired other rotational angular position of the actuator.
  • the actuating opening in the housing of the switching device, in which the actuator is used is designed as a cylindrical or conical opening.
  • a purely cylindrical or conical opening has the advantage that it is easy to manufacture.
  • the function of the rotation can be moved into the clip, so that the housing of the switching device can be made simpler and in particular can be made easier.
  • the tooling costs and the manufacturing process can be optimized.
  • the clip has at least one mounting means for mounting the switching device to another object.

In this position, the actuator 3 can be inserted into the actuating opening 24, in a desired rotational angular position. Then, when the clasp 4 is further displaced downwards, it fixes the actuator 3 at the same time in the axial direction, i. with respect to a displacement in the direction of the longitudinal axis L, and with respect to a rotation about the longitudinal axis L.
