- the individual actuating elements act on a snap disk supported on the housing, which is arched in the direction of the actuating element and is made of an electrically conductive metallic material.
- the domes are therefore biased and are moved when moving down the actuator in the direction of a circuit board provided on a switching contact.
- the snap disc has the property that it undergoes an opposite bulge when bending compared to their starting position and when snapping the snap disc a switching signal is electrically detectable.
- the snap-action disc Upon actuation of the snap-action disc, the latter generates an electrical connection with the opposite switching contact, so that a short-circuit arises, which is detected and processed by an electrical evaluation and control device. As soon as a corresponding short circuit is detected by the evaluation and control unit, the electrical device or the machine tool can be controlled accordingly.
- the "snap-on mating contact" system is to be connected to a second technology, which instantaneously generates a second electrical signal as it snaps through the disk, which time is uniquely coupled with the time when the disk breaks through.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zur Umwandlung von mechanischen Zustellbewegungen in ein elektrisches Schaltsignal, durch das ein elektrisches Gerät, beispielsweise eine Werkzeugmaschine, ein Telefon oder dergleichen, gesteuert bzw. bedient werden kann, nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for converting mechanical feed movements into an electrical switching signal, by means of which an electrical device, for example a machine tool, a telephone or the like, can be controlled or operated, according to the preamble of
Derartige Vorrichtungen sind als Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine bzw. Gerät im Einsatz und bestehen üblicherweise aus einer Vielzahl von Betätigungselementen, die axial geführt gehalten in einer in einem Gehäuse eingearbeiteten Aussparung angeordnet sind. Die einzelnen Betätigungselemente wirken auf eine an dem Gehäuse abgestützte Schnappscheibe, die in Richtung des Betätigungselementes gewölbt ist und aus einem elektrisch leitfähigen metallischen Werkstoff hergestellt ist. Die Schnappscheiben sind demnach vorgespannt und werden beim Runterfahren des Betätigungselementes in Richtung eines auf einer Leiterplatte vorgesehenen Schaltkontaktes bewegt. Die Schnappscheibe weist die Eigenschaft auf, dass diese beim Durchbiegen eine entgegengesetzte Auswölbung im Vergleich zu deren Ausgangsposition erfährt und beim Durchschnappen der Schnappscheibe ein Schaltsignal elektrisch detektierbar wird.Such devices are used as an interface between man and machine or device in use and usually consist of a plurality of actuators, which are held axially guided in a recess incorporated in a housing. The individual actuating elements act on a snap disk supported on the housing, which is arched in the direction of the actuating element and is made of an electrically conductive metallic material. The domes are therefore biased and are moved when moving down the actuator in the direction of a circuit board provided on a switching contact. The snap disc has the property that it undergoes an opposite bulge when bending compared to their starting position and when snapping the snap disc a switching signal is electrically detectable.
Beim Betätigen der Schnappscheibe erzeugt diese eine elektrische Verbindung mit dem gegenüberliegendenSchaltkontakt, so dass ein Kurzschluss entsteht, der von einer elektrischen Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung erfasst und verarbeitet ist. Sobald ein entsprechender Kurzschluss von der Auswerte- und Steuereinheit festgestellt ist, kann das elektrische Gerät oder die Werkzeugmaschine entsprechend angesteuert werden.Upon actuation of the snap-action disc, the latter generates an electrical connection with the opposite switching contact, so that a short-circuit arises, which is detected and processed by an electrical evaluation and control device. As soon as a corresponding short circuit is detected by the evaluation and control unit, the electrical device or the machine tool can be controlled accordingly.
Solche Schnappscheiben haben sich in einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichsten Anwendungen zwar bewährt, liefern jedoch ausschließlich ein elektrisches Schaltsignal, das keiner redundante Überprüfung unterzogen werden kann. Insbesondere wenn die Schnappscheibe aufgrund der Vielzahl von Schaltbewegungen ausleiert, ist oftmals eine zuverlässige Erzeugung des elektrischen Schaltsignals nicht mehr gegeben.Although such snap discs have proven themselves in a variety of different applications, but provide only an electrical switching signal that can not be subjected to redundant review. In particular, when the snap disk due to the large number of switching movements, often no reliable generation of the electrical switching signal is given.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Gattung derart weiterzubilden, dass das jeweilige von der Schnappscheibe ausgelöste Schaltsignal zeitlich unmittelbar verifiziert ist, durch einen elektrischen Impuls als zweites redundantes Schaltsignal und das elektrische Gerät von der Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung erst dann geschaltet ist, wenn das Schaltsignal der Schnappscheibe und der weitere zweite elektrische Impuls vorliegen.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a device of the type mentioned in such a way that the respective triggered by the snap-action switching signal is directly verified in time, only then switched by an electrical pulse as the second redundant switching signal and the electrical device of the evaluation and control device is when the switching signal of the snap disc and the further second electrical pulse are present.
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 der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Dadurch, dass an dem Betätigungselement oder im Bereich des Gehäuses mit dem Gegenkontakt mindestens ein Piezo-Element angebracht ist, dass das Durchschnappen der Schnappscheibe durch das Piezo-Element erfasst ist und dass das Piezo-Element einen elektrischen Impuls erzeugt, ist ein redundantes System umgesetzt. Dieses redundante Signal wird anschließend von der Auswerte- und Steuereinrichtung verarbeitet. Dadurch, dass das elektrische Schaltsignal der Schnappscheibe gleichzeitig gemessen und zur Erzeugung eines elektrischen Schaltsignales ausgewertet ist, ist erreicht, dass die Betätigung der Schnappscheibe, also das Erreichen des jeweiligen Gegenkontaktes mit dem Durchschnappvorgang, unverzüglich überprüft ist, denn die Piezo-Elemente messen die Betätigungskraft des Betätigungselementes und sobald die Schnappscheibe durchschnappt ist diese Betätigungskraft erheblich reduziert. In Bezug auf sicherheitskritische Anwendungen werden heutzutage redundante Systeme gefordert. Somit ist das System "Schnappscheibe-Gegenkontakt" mit einer zweiten Technologie zu verbinden, welche instantan mit dem Durchschnappen der Scheibe ein zweites elektrisches Signal erzeugt, das zeitlich eindeutig mit dem Zeitpunkt des Durchschnappens der Scheibe gekoppelt ist.Characterized in that on the actuating element or in the region of the housing with the mating contact at least one piezoelectric element is mounted, that the snapping of the snap-action disc is detected by the piezoelectric element and that the piezoelectric element generates an electrical pulse, a redundant system is implemented , This redundant signal is then processed by the evaluation and control device. The fact that the electrical switching signal of the snap-action disc is simultaneously measured and evaluated to produce an electrical switching signal ensures that the actuation of the snap-action disc, ie the reaching of the respective mating contact with the snap-through process, is checked immediately, since the piezoelectric elements measure the actuating force of the actuating element and as soon as the snap-action disc snaps through, this operating force is considerably reduced. With regard to safety-critical applications, redundant systems are required today. Thus, the "snap-on mating contact" system is to be connected to a second technology, which instantaneously generates a second electrical signal as it snaps through the disk, which time is uniquely coupled with the time when the disk breaks through.
Folglich ist mit Hilfe eines oder mehrerer Piezo-Elemente eine einfache technische Maßnahme geschaffen, durch die zusammen mit dem Schaltsignal der jeweiligen Schnappscheibe ein redundantes System gebildet ist, ohne dass technisch aufwändige Bauteile oder komplizierte Steuerprogramme zu verwenden sind.Consequently, with the help of one or more piezoelectric elements, a simple technical measure is created, by which, together with the switching signal of the respective snap-action disc, a redundant system is formed, without the need for technically complex components or complicated control programs.
