Definitions
- the invention relates to a haptic operating device in a motor vehicle, in which an input unit of at least one actuator coupled to the input unit can be moved, the input unit having a surface and the surface being touchable by an input element of an operator.
- haptic operating devices are known from the prior art, in which inputs can be made on a so-called touchpad or touchscreen by means of an input element, for example an operator's finger, and the operator receives tactile feedback in his finger by touching the surface of the touchpad or touchscreens are moved perpendicular or parallel to their surface and this movement can be perceived by means of the finger.
- the operator can be given feedback that a touch of the touchpad or touchscreen has been recognized by the operating device without the operator having to look at the touchscreen or the touchpad and thus being less distracted from his actual driving task in the motor vehicle.
- the object of the invention is therefore to specify a haptic operating device for a motor vehicle in which there is no rolling movement and no thud even when a larger touchpad or touchscreen is moved.
- This object is achieved in that the input unit and the at least one actuator are movably mounted in relation to the motor vehicle.
- the resonance frequencies of the input unit and the actuator unit can be coordinated particularly well with one another.
- the tuning of the resonance frequencies is particularly good if:
- the input unit has a display
- programs, program parts and / or values can be operated with the input unit and the operator can be informed of the currently selectable programs, program parts and / or values at the same time and which point of the display is displayed must touch in order to bring about certain desired reactions of an electrical or electronic device controlled by the operating unit.
- the display is particularly simple and inexpensive when it is an electro-optical display.
- electromechanical or non-changeable displays can also be provided.
- a display that cannot be changed can be implemented, for example, by printing or other coating on the surface of the input unit.
- the input unit can be moved perpendicular to its surface, the movement can easily be detected as such by a finger of a person using the haptic operating device.
- the input unit can be moved parallel to its surface, a simpler solution for the mechanical structure of the haptic operating device can be found under certain circumstances, as opposed to vertical movement. With only small movement paths, a fingertip cannot determine whether the input unit is being moved perpendicularly or parallel to its surface. If the haptic operating device is additionally supported by bearings, degrees of movement of the operating unit can be precisely defined.
- the bearings can be designed, for example, as roller bearings, ball bearings or slide bearings.
- Figure 1 shows a section through a first embodiment of the invention and a
- Figure 2 is a section through a second embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 3 shows a section through a third embodiment of the invention
- Figure 4 shows a section through a fourth embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a haptic operating device according to the invention with an input unit 100, an actuator unit 200 coupled to the input unit 100, two first spring elements 300, a second spring element 400 and a housing 600.
- the input unit 100 has a coupling part 111 .
- the actuator unit 200 has a single actuator which is coupled to the input unit 100 via the coupling part 111.
- the actuator unit 200 is connected to the housing 600 via the second spring element 400.
- the input unit 100 is also connected to the housing 600 via the two first spring elements 300.
- An additional storage of the input unit 100 can possibly be dispensed with. It is also possible to provide one or more bearings between the input unit 100 and the housing 600 in order to prevent lateral movement of the input unit 100.
- bearings can be designed, for example, as plain bearings, ball bearings or roller bearings.
- a finger F of an operator of the operating device touches the surface of the input unit 100. This contact is detected and evaluated by a sensor system (not shown) and the actuator unit 200 is activated so that the actuator unit 200 moves the input unit 100 via the coupling part 111 .
- the actuator unit 200 and the input unit 100 perform movements in opposite directions, so that their pulses cancel each other out.
- the actuator unit 200 can attract or repel the input unit 100 via the coupling part 111.
- the Coupling part 111 can be configured as part of the operating unit 100, as shown. However, it can also be designed as a separate component that is connected to the input unit 100.
- the housing 600 can, as shown, be a separate housing which is provided for installation in a body of a motor vehicle.
- the housing 600 can, however, also already be part of a body structure of a motor vehicle that is otherwise not shown.
- the first spring elements 300 and the second spring element 400 are advantageously designed in such a way that they meet the conditions claimed in claim 5.
- a display, not shown, which can be perceived by the possible operator of the input unit 100, can be arranged in the input unit 100. This display can consist, for example, of printing on the surface of the input unit 100.
- An electro-optical display is particularly advantageous since different selectable programs, sub-programs and / or values can then be displayed and set using the operating unit.
- the input unit 100 and the actuator unit 200 are advantageously each mounted in such a way that they can be moved in the functional direction of the actuator 200, but are fixed in the other directions.
- the bearings can be designed, for example, as ball bearings, roller bearings or plain bearings. This also applies to the following exemplary embodiments in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2 differs from the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 1 in that the actuator unit 200 has two actuators and two second spring elements 400. Furthermore, the input unit 100 has two coupling parts 112, so that the input unit 100 is moved by two actuators. The movement sequences of the input unit 100 and the actuator unit 200 are as described above for FIG.
- the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 3 differs from the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2 in that the coupling elements 113 are not arranged at right angles to the input unit 100 as in FIG. 2, but at an acute angle. This also changes the arrangement of the actuators of the actuator unit 200. Since the forces of the actuators of the actuator unit 200 cancel each other out in the lateral direction, the input unit 100 moves perpendicular to the surface of the input unit 100 Figure 2 the overall flatter structure. The movement sequences of the input unit 100 and the actuator unit 200 are as described above for FIG.
- FIG. 4 shows an input unit 104 with a coupling part 114, an actuator unit 204, a first spring element 304, a second spring element 404 and a housing 600.
- the input unit 104 is connected via the first spring element 304 and the actuator 204 via the second spring element 404 connected to the housing 600.
- the input unit 104 and the actuator unit 204 are supported by bearings (not shown). When the actuator unit 204 is actuated, it either attracts the input unit 104 or pushes it off, so that the input unit 104 is moved parallel to its surface, that is to say to the right or left in FIG. 4.
- the pulses generated by the input unit 104 and the actuator unit 204 cancel each other out, so that no pulse is introduced into the housing 600 by the exemplary embodiment of the illustrated operating device according to the invention and no thump sound is generated either.
- the bearings can be designed, for example, as ball bearings, roller bearings or plain bearings.
- the input unit 104 and the actuator 204 are each mounted in such a way that they can move in the functional direction of the actuator 204, but are fixed in the other directions.
- the input unit 100 is advantageously mounted such that it can be moved in the direction of movement of the input unit 100, but is fixed in the other directions.
