Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a switch device, for automotive, more particularly for a dome control module and the like.
  • Push-type switches with a manually operated push component through which, in turn, a switching component itself is actuated are commercially available as push buttons and as on/off switches or selector switches.
  • push type switches comprising a push component that can pivot around a hinge and providing, between the push component and the switching component, a force-transmission component.
  • This force transmission component may have the form of a plunger.
  • the push component Whatever the location of the push component point the manual force is applied on and whatever the location of the point along the push component the plunger is in contact with, the push component will pivot around the hinge. In so doing the push component pushes the plunger which pushes the switch-component downwards.
  • switch devices are known in which the switch device comprises a plunger in contact with the middle of a knob pivotally connected to a housing such that a manual compression of the knob causes the knob to pivots from the outside of the housing of the switch toward the inside and the plunger to move in the same direction.
  • the course of the middle of the knob in a first direction is equal to the course of the plunger in the same direction.
  • switch devices in particular for automotive, can be subject to many customer requirements. These requirements may concern for example the knob shape, the housing shape, the place of the switching component relative to the knob and/or the housing and so on.
  • the invention aims to solve the technical problem of providing an assembly comprising a switch device that will operate respecting customer requirements, and that requires as little built-in space as possible.
  • the invention relates accordingly to an assembly comprising a switch device and a housing, said switch device being disposed relatively to the housing and comprising:
  • the plunger 20 moves from a first position to a second position at a second speed lower than the first speed of the knob 10.
  • a potential course difference between the actuation zone of the knob and the plunger is compensated by the present assembly.
  • a ratio one to one between the course of the middle of the knob and the course of the plunger can be respected by this assembly.
  • the assembly may thus be in conformity with design specification coming from various constraints like packaging constraints dictating the location of the knob actuation zone, security constraints dictating the location of the switch and standardization constraints dictating the relative movement of the plunger and the switch.
  • the invention can also comprise any of the following features taken individually or in any technically possible combination:
  • the invention also relates to a dome control module comprising said assembly.
  • the invention relates to an assembly 1 comprising a switch device 3 and a housing 5.
  • the switch device 3 is disposed relatively to the housing 5.
  • the switch device 3 comprises a switch 30, a plunger 20 and a knob 10.
  • the plunger 20 extends along a first longitudinal axis.
  • the knob 10 is pivotally connected to the housing 5 in such way that the knob pivots around a first rotational axis perpendicular to the sketches on figures 1 and 2 .
  • An actuation zone (M) of the knob 10 is remote from the first longitudinal axis (A).
  • knob 10 In a first position illustrated in figure 1 , the knob 10 is in contact with the plunger 20.
  • the knob 10 comprises a head 12 and a body 14.
  • the plunger 20 comprises a head 22 and a body 24.
  • the knob's head 12 is the part of the knob in contact with the plunger's head 22.
  • a manual compression of the knob in a first direction around the first rotational axis (C) on the actuation zone M causes then the knob to come from a first position to a second position.
  • the plunger actuates the switch.
  • the course of the knob's head 12 between the first and the second position is longer than the course of the plunger's head 22 between the first and the second position.
  • the compression of the knob 10 between the first and the second position is transmitted to the plunger 20 but the second speed of the plunger 20 is lower than the first speed of the knob 10 in order to compensate the difference of length of their respective course.
  • the knob In absence of manual compression, the knob returns advantageously to its first position.
  • the knob may return to its first position by a return force transmitted by a return spring.
  • the switch device 3 may be comprised inside the housing 5.
  • the plunger 20 and the switch are inside the housing.
  • the assembly may comprise a bezel 6such that the upper surface of the knob 10 flushes the surface of the bezel 6.
  • the knob's head has a first outgrowth 16 such that the plunger's head 22 and the knob's head 12 remain in contact at any position of the knob. This allows a better stability of the knob 10 between the first and the second position.
  • Said first outgrowth 16 represent a first contact point between the plunger's head 22 and the knob's head 12 but the knob's head 12 is not in moving abutment against the plunger's head 22.
  • Said first contact point causes friction forces. It is the said friction forces that cause the plunger 20 to move from a first position to a second position at a second speed lower than the first speed of the knob 10.
  • the knob's head may also have a second outgrowth 18, said first and second outgrowth forming a groove. Said second outgrowth 18 represent a second contact point between the plunger's head 22 and the knob's head 12.
  • the plunger's head 22 slides within the groove and moves from the first position to the second position under the action of the friction forces caused by the first and the second outgrowth.
  • the groove allows an even more enhanced stability of the knob 10 between the first and the second position.
  • the plunger's head 22 is curved. As described in figures 1 and 2 , the plunger's head 22 comprises a distal end having the shape of a ball joint. Said ball joint is articulated inside the groove formed by the two outgrowths 16, 18 such that the plunger's head 22 and the knob's head 12 remain in contact by a ball joint connection.
  • the plunger's head has a complementary form to said groove.
  • the plunger is made of one single component. More precisely, the plunger's head and is here integral with plunger body.
  • the switch 30 may be a push switch. Said switch is in contact with a support. In a preferred embodiment, the switch 30 is in electrical connection with a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) 40. Said PCB may define a plan, said plan being orthogonal to the first longitudinal axis (A).
  • a second longitudinal axis (B) is parallel to the first longitudinal axis (A) and passes by the middle of the knob 10.
  • the plunger may be located inside a shaft 52 located remotely from the second longitudinal axis (B). Said shaft helps to control the translation movement of the plunger between the first and the second position and to improve the stability of the assembly.
  • Said plunger body is located in said shaft 52.
  • Said shaft 52 is a part of the housing 5.
  • Said plunger body comprises an end in abutment on said switch.
  • the first rotational axis (C) may be defined by protrusions on both sides of the knob 10 cooperating with holes formed on lateral sides of the housing.
  • said first rotational axis (C) may be defined by a hinge 54. Said hinge helps to prevent any removing of the knob 10 from the housing 5.
  • the knob extends in a longitudinal direction which defines its length.
  • the middle of the knob is defined by a point in the middle of its length.
  • the actuation zone M is centered on said point M at the middle of the knob.
  • the activation zone may be evidenced by any kind of visualization means like a logo, a small recess or protrusion, especially of the size of a fingertip located on point M.
  • each point of the knob is moving along a circle whose center is defined by the first rotational axis (C).
  • the radius of the circle depends on the distance between the first rotational axis (C) and the point of the knob. The farther the point of the knob is from the rotational axis (C), the larger the radius of the circle.
  • the relative displacement of the point M on the middle of the knob will be inferior to the relative displacement of a second point on the head of the knob.
  • the distance between the point M in the first position and the orthogonal projection of the point M on the second longitudinal axis (B) in the second position is inferior to the distance between a point on the knob's head 12 in the first position and the orthogonal projection of said knob's head point on the first or second longitudinal axis in the second position.
  • the depth of the groove formed by the two outgrowths 16, 18 allows compensating the course difference between the actuation zone M of the knob 10 and the plunger 20.
  • the distance between the point M in the first position and the orthogonal projection of the point M on the second longitudinal axis (B) in the second position is the same distance as the distance between the orthogonal projection of a point of the plunger in the first and the second position. This allows keeping a ratio one on one between the course of the middle M of the knob 10 and the course of the plunger 20.
  • intersection point I The intersection between said second longitudinal axis (B) and the PCB defines an intersection point I.
  • said intersection point I is at most at 3mm from the closest edge of the PCB according to electrical circuitry security rules.
  • a longitudinal distance between the first rotational axis and an upper surface of the PCB is comprised between 10mm and 20mm, more preferably between 13mm and 15mm.
  • the stroke of the plunger along the first longitudinal axis (A) may be equal to 0.5mm to 1.5mm.
  • the distance between the point M in the first position and the orthogonal projection of the point M on the second longitudinal axis (B) in the second position may be equal to 0.5mm to 1.5mm.
  • FIG. 3 shows a dome control module 2 according to the invention.
  • Said dome control module comprises an assembly 1 according the invention.
  • the switch device of said assembly may comprise any of the technical features described hereinabove.
  • the bezel 6 may represent the largest part of the dome control module seen by a user.
  • the bezel 6 may be made of a material nobler than the rest of the housing 5 so as to improve the finish of the dome control module perceived by a user.
  • the dome control module may be located on the ceiling of a vehicle, between the two front seats and aligned with the central mirror.
