Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of mechanical pushbuttons and switches and in particular to devices and methods for their operation.
  • Mechanical pushbuttons and switches are commonly designed to be actuated by a person, typically by a finger or hand, but also by foot. However, it may be necessary to operate mechanical buttons and switches using technical means, for example as part of functional tests of the button/switch and/or tests of a device with the button/switch.
  • e-cigarettes are an example of this.
  • e-cigarettes in which the vaporization process is started (button pressed by the smoker/user) and ended (button not pressed by the smoker/user) by means of a button (also called a fire button).
  • e-cigarettes are also subjected to automated tests, for example to determine substances released through the mouthpiece when used.
  • automated tests for example to determine substances released through the mouthpiece when used.
  • U.S. 6,581,483 discloses an arrangement in which a ram is moved out of a pressurized cylinder to actuate a switching means.
  • the Austrian Patent No. 2 62429 discloses an arrangement in which a switch can be actuated by means of a membrane deformable by pressure.
  • the FR 2.057.159 discloses an arrangement in which a resilient actuating means having a cavity can be deformed by pressure built up in the cavity to actuate a switch.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a solution for simple and inexpensive actuation of a button or switch.
  • buttons, switches and the like are collectively referred to below as switching means.
  • a basic idea is to actuate a switching means by means of an elastic and pneumatically and/or hydraulically deformable actuating element.
  • the operating member may have a non-operating form in which the operating member does not operate the switching means and an operating form in which the operating member operates the switching means.
  • the actuating element can be at a distance from the switching means or can only contact the switching means in such a way that the switching means is not actuated.
  • the actuation element contacts--if this was not already the case before--the switching means and exerts a force on the switching means, which causes the switching means to be actuated.
  • the non-actuating form of the actuating element can be achieved by not subjecting the actuating element to pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure, so that the switching means is not contacted at all, or by subjecting it to pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure so that the switching means is only contacted in such a way that no force acts on the switching means, which leads to an actuation of the switching means.
  • the form of actuation of the actuating element can be achieved by applying (more) pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure to the actuating element, so that the switching means - if this is not already the case - is contacted and a force acts on the switching means, which leads to a Actuation of the switching means leads.
  • the actuator may be disposed entirely within the socket (particularly such that no portion of the actuator extends out of the socket) or so that it partially extends out of the socket.
  • the actuating element is either at a distance from the switching means or at most makes contact with it in such a way that the switching means is not actuated. This also applies to cases in which the switching means protrudes at least partially into the receptacle.
  • the actuating element comprises at least one elastically deformable material, such as rubber, silicone or other special plastics.
  • Embodiments with an actuating element are suitable, for example, for switching means that have a first switching position (e.g. switched off/switched on) and can be brought into a second switching position (e.g. switched on/off) by means of the actuating element and assume the first switching position automatically/automatically when the actuating element the switching means is no longer actuated or has resumed the non-actuated form.
  • a first switching position e.g. switched off/switched on
  • a second switching position e.g. switched on/off
  • pushbuttons or toggle/rocker switches preloaded in a first position e.g. by means of spring force
  • actuate switching means which also have first and second switching positions, but do not assume the first switching position automatically, but—as in the case of the second switching position SSt2—can be brought into it.
  • toggle/rocker switches that are not biased into either switch position (such as those found as light switches in homes).
  • the actuating element is in the form of a ring, each of which has an actuating element cavity in which pressure can be built up and released again pneumatically and/or hydraulically in order to deform the actuating element in a controlled manner, starting from the non-actuating shape into the actuating shape and back again, as well as to keep the non-actuation form and the actuation form.
  • a receiving cavity is provided, which is arranged between an inside of a receptacle for an actuating element and an outside of the actuating element. Pressure can be applied to and removed from the receiving cavity pneumatically and/or hydraulically to controllably deform the actuator from the non-actuated shape to the actuated shape and back again, and to maintain the non-actuated shape and the actuated shape.
  • Actuators with an actuator cavity can have a first actuator port via which pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure from a pressure generating source, for example via a line or hose, into the actuator cavity can be supplied.
  • the first actuator port may also serve to remove/reduce pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure present in the actuator cavity of an actuator.
  • a second actuating element connection can be provided for this purpose, which can, for example, connect the actuating element cavity to the ambient atmosphere/air in a controllable manner.
  • this can have a first receiving connection via which pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure can be supplied from a pressure-generating source, for example via a line or hose, into the actuating element cavity.
  • the first pickup port may also serve to remove/reduce dramatic and/or hydraulic pressure present in the actuator cavity of an actuator.
  • a second receiving connection can be provided for this purpose, which can, for example, connect the actuating element cavity to the ambient atmosphere/air in a controllable manner.
  • the pressure generation source can be controlled by means of a control device for generating pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure and delivering it to an actuating element. Additionally or alternatively, the first port can be controlled to selectively establish or interrupt a fluid connection between the pressure generation source and the actuator cavity of the actuator. In the case of a second port, it may be controlled to selectively establish and break fluid communication between the actuator cavity of the actuator and the environment.
