Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a set of force transmission elements or plungers for translational switch control module.
  • the force transmitting elements are used in the translational switch or directional cross control modules to transmit the force exerted by the user on a button body and an electronic switch.
  • the button body is apparent, decorated and generally of the same material as an outer shell of the control module.
  • the electronic switch is located under the button body, generally on a printed circuit located at a bottom of the module.
  • the body of button is the element with which the user interacts, while the electronic switch generates the electronic signal which will trigger the taking into account of the depression of the body of button.
  • a directional cross control module for example for controlling the inclination of a side mirror.
  • the user inclines a relatively circular or cruciform button body in orthogonal or diagonal directions.
  • Electronic switches typically four, eight or sixteen, are then depressed by corresponding number plungers which transmit the force applied by the user to the button body.
  • the frame To avoid force transmission to an adjacent diver, it is possible to thin the frame, which makes it more flexible but also more fragile to handling, or to change the composition of the material component.
  • the chosen material is often optimized in terms of rigidity and cost for the divers, the frame being used only for holding and placing the divers at the assembly.
  • the subject of the invention is a driving force transmission element between a switch body and an integer number N greater than or equal to 2 of electronic switches arranged on the ends of the switch body.
  • N an integer number
  • the force transmission element may also include one or more of the following features, taken alone or in combination.
  • ⁇ / 4
  • the polygon is a parallelogram
  • the polygon is a diamond or a square.
  • N 8 and the polygon is an octagon.
  • the connecting beams include circumvolutions extending them.
  • the connecting portions comprise convolutions extending them.
  • the control beams and the bypass portions are made in the continuous extension of the others.
  • the connecting portions and the bypass portions are connected by a right angle connection.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a control module comprising a 2 shows schematically a force transmission element in plan view
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows another embodiment of force transmission element in plan view
  • Figures 4a, 4b show a sectional view of a control module comprising a force transmission element
  • Figures 5 and 6 show in top view of alternative embodiments of force transmission element.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows in exploded view a control module 1.
  • the control module 1 is in particular intended to be arranged in a vehicle interior to allow for example the adjustment of the orientation of an exterior mirror mirror of the vehicle.
  • the control module 1 can be implemented in an armrest of the door, at the level of the window regulator controls.
  • the electronic switches 11 may in particular be implemented on a printed electrical circuit forming a bottom of the control module 1 and carrying at least a part of the electronics of said control module 1 (power matching, logic gates, interface to the electrical circuit of the vehicle).
  • the force transmission element 5 is shown in more detail in FIG. 2.
  • FIG. 2 shows said force transmission element 5 in plan view.
  • the divers 7 are arranged on the vertices of a polygon P, whose number N of sides corresponds to the number of principal directions of inclinations, here four, and therefore to the number of divers 7 and Electronic switches 11.
  • the polygon P is in this case a parallelogram, in particular a rhombus, and more specifically a square.
  • the plungers 7 are interconnected by a frame 9 made of material with them.
  • the frame is obtained during molding, the force transmission element with its ⁇ / plungers, where ⁇ / is the number of principal directions of inclination of the body of switch 3, and the frame 9 is then obtained in one piece.
  • the materials used may in particular comprise polyethylene, polyester, polyurethane, rubber, in particular crosslinked.
  • the frame 9 has elongate portions of small section relative to the plungers 7.
  • the plungers 7 generally have a rectangular section, with sides typically varying from two to five millimeters (2-5mm), the sections of the elongated portions of the frame 9 being circular or rectangular, with a side or a diameter typically of the order of one half to one millimeter (0.5 -1 mm). This difference in size allows the plungers 7 to be relatively rigid while the frame 9 is flexible, both being made of the same plastic material.
  • the frame 9 comprises four bypass portions 1 3 each partially surrounding a plunger 7.
  • the bypass portions 1 3 are here formed as portions of a circle, open on the inside of the polygon P.
  • Other embodiments may comprise bypass portions 13 of polygonal shape.
  • the frame 9 also comprises four connecting portions 15 connecting in pairs the consecutive bypass portions 13 on the polygon P so as to form a closed outer frame, here of generally square shape, whose angles are rounded by the presence of bypass portions 1 3 partially surrounding the divers 7.
  • the connecting portions 1 5 and the control beams 1 7 on the same side of the polygon P are here rectilinear and parallel to each other and to the side of the polygon P to which they correspond.
  • the different portions of the frame 9 are, in Figure 2, delimited by dotted segments.
  • FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the force transmission element 5, and in particular of the frame 9 carrying the plungers 7, is represented in plan view in FIG.
  • FIG. 3 differs from that of FIG. 2 in that the connecting portions 15 connecting in pairs the bypass portions 1 3 surrounding the plungers 7, and the control beams 1 7 connecting a plunger 7 to the bypass portion 1 3 surrounding the next plunger 7 have convolutions which increase their effective length.
  • the connecting portions 1 5 connecting two by two the bypass portions 13 surrounding the divers 7 are here shaped "s". Said connecting portions 1 5 extending in the extension of the portions 13 surrounding the plungers 7, describe a convex curve towards the inside of the polygon P, followed by a concave curve towards the inside of the polygon P. Said connecting portions 1 5 then join the bypass portion 1 3 surrounding the plunger 7 with a fitting at right angles.
  • FIG. 3 also makes it possible to reduce the number of elbows forming connections between the various portions 1 3, 1 5, 1 7. Indeed, the elbows, because of the abrupt variation of width of material that they represent, are as many areas of stress concentration, and therefore potential break points during deformation.
  • Figures 4a and 4b illustrate the operation of a control module 1 having a force transmission element 5 as previously described.
  • Figures 4a, 4b are side sectional views of a control module 1, respectively in the absence of actuation and during actuation.
  • the plungers 7 are therefore located at the ends of a segment S instead of the vertices of a polygon P.
