Bei Drehschaltern hängen häufig verschiedene Parameter wie die elektrische Haltbarkeit, die aufzuwendende Kraft zum Betätigen des Schalters, die Öffnungs- und Schließgeschwindigkeit der Kontakte direkt von der Geschwindigkeit und Kraft ab, mit welchen der Drehschalter betätigt wird. Verschiedene Vorrichtungen zur Betätigung von Drehschaltern sind beispielsweise aus der deutschen Gebrauchsmusterschrift
Aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es nun, eine möglichst einfach aufgebaute Vorrichtung zur Betätigung eines Drehschalters vorzustellen.The object of the present invention is therefore to present a device of simple construction for actuating a rotary switch.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Gegenstände der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is solved by the subject matters of the independent claims. Further embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Ein der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrunde liegender Gedanke besteht darin, bei einer Vorrichtung zur Betätigung eines Drehschalters die Geschwindigkeit und erforderliche Kraft zur Kontaktbetätigung, d.h. dem Schließen und Öffnen von Kontakten von den zum Betätigen des Drehschalters aufgewendeten Kraft und Geschwindigkeit weitgehend zu entkoppeln. Mit anderen Worten soll die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weitgehend unabhängig von der zum Betätigen des Drehschalters aufgewandten Kraft und Betätigungsgeschwindigkeit Kontakte schließen oder öffnen. Hierzu schlägt die Erfindung einen Mechanismus vor, bei dem zwei Antriebsorgane über eine Feder miteinander gekoppelt sind, und bei dem Sperr- und Freigabemittel vorgesehen sind, welche eine Drehung eines der Antriebsorgane durch die gespannte Feder abhängig von der Stellung des anderen Antriebsorgans sperren oder freigeben. Hierdurch kann die Bewegung des von einem Benutzer betätigten Antriebsorgans von der Bewegung des anderen Antriebsorgans entkoppelt werden. Anders ausgedrückt dient das vom Benutzer betätigbare Antriebsorgan dazu, die federgetriebene Bewegung des anderen Antriebsorgans freizugeben oder zu sperren, so dass unabhängig von der Geschwindigkeit und Kraft, mit denen das eine Antriebsorgan vom Benutzer betätigt wird, das andere Antriebsorgan bewegt wird. Die Erfindung schlägt weiterhin vor, an Führungsabschnitten der beiden Antriebsorgane anliegende Klinken einzusetzen, wobei der Führungsabschnitt des einen Antriebsorgans als Freigabemittel Freigabeabschnitte und der Führungsabschnitt des anderen Antriebsorgans als Sperrmittel zwei Anschläge für die Klinken aufweist. Die an den Führungsabschnitten beider Antriebsorgane anliegenden Klinken können die federgetriebene Bewegung des anderen Antriebsorgans sowohl sperren als auch bei entsprechender Bewegung des einen Antriebsorgans freigeben. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist durch die Ausbildung der Freigabe- und Sperrmittel als integrale Bestandteile der Antriebsorgane und die an den Führungsabschnitten beider Antriebsorgane anliegenden Klinken vergleichsweise einfach aufgebaut, was insbesondere bei der Herstellung von Vorteil ist.An object of the present invention is to provide, in a device for actuating a rotary switch, the speed and force required for contact actuation, ie the closing and opening of contacts from that for actuation largely uncouple the force and speed of the rotary switch. In other words, the device according to the invention is intended to close or open contacts largely independently of the force and operating speed used to actuate the rotary switch. For this purpose, the invention proposes a mechanism in which two drive members are coupled together by a spring, and are provided in the blocking and release means which lock or release a rotation of one of the drive members by the tensioned spring depending on the position of the other drive member. As a result, the movement of the user-operated drive member from the movement of the other drive member can be decoupled. In other words, the user operable drive member serves to release or lock the spring-driven movement of the other drive member so that the other drive member is moved regardless of the speed and force with which the one actuator is actuated by the user. The invention further proposes to use detents applied to guide sections of the two drive elements, wherein the guide section of one drive element has release stops as the release means and the guide section of the other drive element has two stops for the detents. The applied to the guide portions of both drive members pawls can both lock the spring-driven movement of the other drive member and release with appropriate movement of a drive member. The device according to the invention is comparatively simple in construction due to the design of the release and blocking means as integral components of the drive elements and the pawls resting on the guide sections of both drive elements, which is advantageous in particular in the production.

Sobald eine Klinke 20, 22 in einen der Anschläge 320, 322 eingreift und nicht durch einen Freigabeabschnitt 28, 30 des ersten Antriebsorgans radial angehoben wird, ist eine Drehbewegung des zweiten Antriebsorgans 16 in eine erste oder eine zweite, zur ersten entgegengesetzte Drehrichtung 34 bzw. 36 gesperrt.The
In diesem zweiten Schaltzustand greift nun die Klinke 20 in einen Klinken-Anschlag 320 des Sperrabschnitts 32 auf dem Führungsabschnitt 26 des zweiten Antriebsorgans 16 ein und sperrt eine Drehbewegung dieses Organs in eine zweite Drehrichtung 36, die zur ersten Drehrichtung 34 entgegen gesetzt ist, so dass das zweite Antriebsorgan 16 daran gehindert ist, in den ersten Schaltzustand zurück gedreht zu werden. Wird nun die Antriebswelle 12 und mit ihr das drehfest verbundene erste Antriebsorgan 14 in die zweite Drehrichtung 36 um einen vorgegebenen Winkel von beispielsweise etwa 120° gedreht, wird wieder die Feder 18 durch die Drehung gespannt und bei Erreichen der dem ersten Schaltzustand entsprechenden Stellung durch das erste Antriebsorgan 14 die erste Klinke 20 durch den Freigabeabschnitt 28 des Führungsabschnitts 24 des ersten Antriebsorgans 14 radial angehoben, wodurch die Sperre einer Drehbewegung des zweiten Antriebsorgans 16 aufgehoben wird und die in der gespannten Feder 18 gespeicherte Federkraft eine Drehung des zweiten Antriebsorgans 16 in die zweite Drehrichtung bewirkt. Diese Drehung führt dazu, dass das Zahnrad 38 (
