  • the input device has: A housing, an actuation device that is mounted so that it can move in an actuation direction relative to the housing, four bearing elements, by means of which the actuation device can be moved in the actuation direction relative to the housing, with two of the bearing elements being offset from one another in the actuation direction and form a pair of bearing elements and the two pairs of bearing elements are offset from one another in a direction transverse to the direction of actuation, and a damping element, by means of which a movement of the actuation device in the direction of actuation can be damped.
  • the invention also relates to a motor vehicle with such an input device.
  • a motor vehicle often has at least one input device, by means of which a manual input by a user of the motor vehicle can be detected, for example.
  • the input device can be arranged in the motor vehicle, for example on a steering wheel, in an area of a center console and/or on an inside wall of a vehicle door.
  • a function of the motor vehicle can be controlled based on the manual input, for example a multimedia device, an automatic window opener and/or an air conditioning system of the motor vehicle.
  • To detect the manual input of the input device it can have an actuating device that can be actuated manually, for example by pressing in an actuating direction of the actuating device.
  • EP 3 008 741 B1 shows a switch operating arrangement for a motor vehicle with a movable actuating surface which interacts with a displacement means.
  • the shifting means comprises a rocker arm arrangement which has parallel-movable parallel levers.
  • the rocker arm assembly has a floating bearing on one side and a fixed bearing on an opposite side.
  • a first aspect of the invention relates to an input device for a motor vehicle.
  • the input device has the following components: a housing, an actuating device, four bearing elements and a damping element.
  • the actuating device is mounted so that it can move relative to the housing in an actuating direction.
  • the actuating device is designed to be moved relative to the housing.
  • the actuating device is preferably moved relative to the housing.
  • the movement of the actuating device in the actuating direction represents an actuation of the actuating device.
  • the input device can be operated by actuating the actuating device. To actuate the actuating device, a force can be exerted on it by a user, which causes the actuating device to be moved relative to the housing.
  • the four bearing elements are designed so that the actuating device can be moved in the direction of actuation relative to the housing.
  • the input device has four bearing elements, by means of which the actuating device can be moved in the actuating direction relative to the housing.
  • two of the bearing elements are offset from one another in the direction of actuation and form a pair of bearing elements.
  • the pair of bearings may be referred to as a pair of horizontal bearings, assuming that the operating direction corresponds to a horizontal direction of the input device.
  • the four bearing elements are bearings, that is to say components of the input device which are designed to guide components that can move relative to one another.
  • the components that can be moved relative to one another are the housing and the actuating device.
  • a movement of the actuating device in the direction of actuation can be damped by means of the damping element.
  • the damping element is there designed to dampen movement of the actuating device in the direction of actuation.
  • the damping element thus effects the damping in the actuation direction when the actuation element is actuated.
  • the damping element is designed to weaken or slow down the movement of the actuating device in the direction of actuation.
  • the input device has two coupling elements. Each bearing element of one pair of bearing elements is connected to a respective bearing element of the other pair of bearing elements via the respective coupling element. This has the effect that the actuating device is prevented from tilting relative to the housing. Provision is therefore made for the bearing elements of the bearing pairs to be connected to one another via the coupling element in order to prevent the actuating device from tilting.
  • tilting means tilting the actuating device relative to the housing.
  • one bearing element of one pair of bearing elements is connected to a single bearing element of the other pair of bearing elements, so that all four bearing elements are connected to one another in such a way that two bearing elements that are offset from one another in the transverse direction are connected to one another.
  • the coupling element only connects exactly two bearing elements to one another.
  • the two coupling elements can, for example, be arranged essentially parallel to one another in the actuation direction, so that, for example, the two bearing elements arranged at the front in the actuation direction are connected to one another and the two bearing elements arranged at the rear in the actuation direction are also connected to one another.
  • an angle between the two coupling elements in the direction of actuation is preferably 0 degrees and in particular an absolute value between greater than 0 degrees and less than 40 degrees, 30 degrees, 20 degrees, 10 degrees, 5 degrees, in particular 1 degree assumes
  • An advantageous exemplary embodiment provides that the bearing elements of one pair of bearing elements are arranged on the housing and the bearing elements of the other pair of bearing elements are arranged on the actuating device. Two of the four bearing elements can therefore be arranged on the housing and the other two of the four bearing elements on the actuating device.
  • the housing has at least one partial area and the actuating device also has at least one partial area, which are arranged opposite one another in the transverse direction.
  • the bearing elements can be arranged in these partial areas.
  • the respective partial area of the housing and the actuating device can be designed as an extended area in the actuating direction. The described arrangement of the four bearing elements can therefore reliably prevent tilting.
  • the housing has two opposite housing legs.
  • the bearing elements of one of the bearing element pairs are arranged on each of the housing legs.
  • all four bearing elements are arranged on the housing.
  • the respective coupling element has at least one partial area which is arranged at a distance from the bearing elements and on which the coupling element is coupled to the actuating device. Only two coupling elements are therefore provided, each of which connects the bearing elements of one pair of bearing elements to a corresponding bearing element of the other pair of bearing elements. Due to the spaced arrangement, the partial area is not located directly where the respective coupling element is connected to the respective bearing element, but between this connection point between the coupling element and bearing element on the one hand and the partial area on the other hand there is a distance greater than zero.
  • the partial area can be provided in the middle of the coupling element, where the coupling element is directly connected to the actuating device, for example, so that when the actuating device is actuated, the coupling elements and via them the bearing element pairs can be moved.
  • each coupling element has several such partial areas, so that for example the actuating device is coupled to at least two partial areas with each of the coupling elements and thus a total of at least four partial areas are provided. This contributes to reliably preventing the actuating device from tilting relative to the housing.
  • at least one of the bearing elements is designed as a pivot bearing.
  • the rotary bearing can alternatively be referred to as a radial bearing.
  • the pivot bearing allows at least one rotation about an axis of rotation of the pivot bearing.
  • the rotary bearing can be designed, for example, as a ball joint, that is, allow rotation about three axes of rotation.
  • At least the two bearing elements connected by means of a common coupling element are preferably designed as pivot bearings. It can be provided that all four bearing elements are designed as pivot bearings. This provides a bearing element that is particularly easy to implement and inexpensive.
  • an exemplary embodiment provides that at least one of the bearing elements is designed as a fixed bearing.
  • the fixed bearing can be referred to as a fixed point which is arranged on the housing and/or on the actuating device.
  • the fixed bearing prevents displacements of the respective bearing element relative to the housing if it is arranged on the housing, or to the actuating device if it is arranged on the actuating device.
  • the fixed bearing allows at least one or even several rotations in the bearing point.
  • Both bearing elements connected to one another by means of the coupling element are preferably designed as fixed bearings.
  • the configuration of the bearing element as a rotary bearing and the configuration as a fixed bearing to be combined with one another as desired.
  • the coupling element connected to the fixed bearing is designed as a spring element, in particular as a straight, curved or angled leaf spring.
  • the leaf spring is designed in particular as an I, L, double L or Z-shaped leaf spring.
  • the coupling element can be designed as a flexible metal strip.
  • the leaf spring can be made of spring steel, for example.
  • the spring element can have an elongate, in particular straight, central area on which two opposite end areas are arranged. The spring element can be bent at the respective end area relative to the middle area by an angle of essentially 90 degrees, ie deformed. The spring element then has a Z-shape.
  • an angle between the central area and the edge area is preferably 90 degrees and in particular between 60 degrees and 120 degrees, 70 degrees and 110 degrees, 80 degrees and 100 degrees, 85 degrees and 95 degrees, in particular 89 degrees and 91 degrees degrees.
  • the two fixed bearings can be connected to the respective edge area of the spring element. This will achieved that a large part of the coupling element, namely the elongated central area of the spring element, can be arranged, for example, parallel to the transverse direction, whereby a simple and firm connection can still be provided at the edge area of the spring element with, for example, the housing and/or the actuating device via the fixed bearing .
  • the fixed bearings can, for example, not allow any movement at all, with the spring element enabling the relative movement of the actuating device to the housing due to its flexibility. This provides a relatively inexpensive design that is easy to implement for the bearing elements and the coupling element.
  • a rubber damper can be provided as the at least one coupling element. At positions that can be considered as bearing elements, this is connected on one side to, for example, the housing, in particular a projection of the housing, and on an opposite other side, for example to the actuating device, in particular a projection of the actuating device.
  • the respective bearing elements can furthermore be arranged offset to one another both in the actuation direction and in the transverse direction.
  • the rubber damper is compressed, for example, so that the actuation device is prevented from being tilted relative to the housing.
  • a deformation direction of the rubber damper, in which the rubber damper is compressed when moving in the direction of actuation is in particular oriented parallel to the direction of actuation.
  • a further exemplary embodiment provides that the bearing elements of one pair of bearing elements are arranged offset in the direction of actuation in relation to the bearing elements of the other pair of bearing elements.
  • the respective bearing elements connected by means of the coupling element are displaced in the actuating direction or arranged in a dislocated manner in relation to one another. So there are not two bearing elements directly opposite each other in the transverse direction. This arrangement can be achieved, for example, when the edge areas of the spring element, ie the z-shaped leaf spring, are bent as a coupling element to opposite sides of the elongated central area.
  • a first edge area can be bent relative to a first side of the leaf spring and a second edge area can be bent relative to an opposite second side of the leaf spring, the first and second edge areas lying opposite one another and between the two edge areas the elongate central region is arranged.
  • the central region of the coupling element is arranged essentially parallel to the transverse direction.
  • an angle between the central area and the transverse direction is preferably 0 degrees and in particular assumes an absolute value between greater than 0 degrees and less than 40 degrees, 30 degrees, 20 degrees, 10 degrees, 5 degrees, in particular 1 degree .
  • the actuation direction is arranged transversely to the transverse direction of the input device, that is to say that the two directions are arranged at an angle to one another. It can then be useful for the bearing elements of one of the bearing element pairs to be offset in the direction of actuation relative to the bearing elements of the other bearing element pair.
  • the bearing elements of one pair of bearing elements are arranged, for example, at the front in the direction of actuation, whereas the bearing elements of the other pair of bearing elements are arranged further back in the direction of actuation in comparison.
  • a first bearing element of the first bearing element pair, then a first bearing element of the second bearing element pair, then a second bearing element of the first bearing element pair and finally a second bearing element of the second bearing element pair can be arranged in the actuation direction. This results in a wide range of options for designing the bearing elements and the coupling elements.
  • At least one of the coupling elements is arranged essentially parallel to the transverse direction in an initial position of the actuating device. Provision can therefore be made for the coupling elements to be arranged perpendicular to the direction of actuation in the initial position. As soon as the actuating device is moved relative to the housing during actuation, the coupling element can be arranged at an angle between, for example, greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees to the direction of actuation and thus no longer be arranged parallel to the transverse direction.
  • an angle between the coupling element and the transverse direction is preferably 0 degrees and in particular an absolute value between greater than 0 degrees and less than 40 degrees, 30 degrees, 20 degrees, 10 degrees, 5 degrees, in particular 1 degree assumes Depending on how strong the damping element is set, it may be the case that this Coupling element hardly moved from the starting position even when the actuating device is actuated, that is to say it is still arranged essentially parallel to the transverse direction. This results in a configuration of the coupling elements that is easy to implement.
