Definitions
- the invention relates to a multi-stage switch with a common actuating element and at least two switching elements for making contacts, the application of which, with increasing force, leads to a successive actuation of the switching elements, the switching elements being arranged on a circuit board above the same-height contact elements, which bridge them in their switched state , with actuation directions perpendicular to this circuit board, and the actuation element being arranged movably above the switch elements in such a way that its actuation area lies between the switch elements.
- a generic multi-step switch is known from CH 658 544 A5 ( Figure 4).
- the switching elements are contact pills, which are held above their associated contact elements on a switching mat which is dome-shaped above the contact elements and carries the contact pills at different heights on projections pointing inwards.
- This "switch mat” and the contact pills attached to it are actuated via a pressure plate 45 which acts on the dome or dome-like upper sides of the membrane-like sections of the switch mat.
- the function of the multiple switch depends crucially on the complex design of the switch matt, for which obviously very long switching paths and a relatively high-profile housing are provided.
- This may not be a problem in the preferred area of application of the solution according to the previously known publication (keypad blocks for telephone subscriber stations), with increasing miniaturization and other areas of application of such multistage switches, reliable function should no longer be guaranteed, in particular because of the complex construction of the so-called switch mat described above.
- the difficulties mentioned should at least considerably complicate the manufacture of multistage switches with more than two switching elements.
- the basic idea of the invention is therefore to place the switching force acting on the multistep switch outside the actuating direction of the switching elements for their connection or establishment of contact, so that by selecting the distance between the switching force on the one hand and the actuating direction of the individual switching elements, the division the switching force is selectable on the individual switching elements attached to the circuit board.
- the switching characteristic of the individual switching elements is independent of the movement behavior of the actuating element (in contrast to the subject of the generic device) and can therefore be set extremely easily and reliably by means of an appropriate choice (“hard” or “soft”), as a result of which a reliable Definition of the switching time is also possible with several switching elements, namely precisely when the triggering force of the respective switching element is reached or exceeded by the switching force component acting on this switching element.
- FIG. 1 a schematic diagram to illustrate the principle of the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section of a first exemplary embodiment
- Figure 3 shows a longitudinal section of a second exemplary embodiment
- FIG. 4 a section in the plane IV-IV of FIG. 3,
- Figure 6 a section in the plane VI-VI of Figure 5.
- the two switching elements 20, 30 are located on a circuit board 70, for example the printed circuit board, with conductor tracks which are to be connected to one another at the switching points provided.
- the switching elements 20, 30 are preferably designed as disc springs ("crack frogs").
- the two switching elements 20, 30 are switched by release forces exerted perpendicular to the switching plate 70, the actuation directions A and B of the two switching elements 20 and 30 consequently run through these switching elements and perpendicular to the switching plate 70.
- Both switching elements 20, 30 are bridged by an actuating element 10, to which the actuating force F acts from the outside.
- this actuating element 10 can be referred to as a "rocker switch”.
- the switching path S caused by the action of the switching force F, also runs perpendicular to the switching plate 70.
- the switching path S lies between the actuation directions A and B of the two switching elements 20, 30.
- the external conditions are predetermined such that the switching path S lies in the middle between the actuation directions A, B, so that the switching force F is consequently divided into two identical components F / 2, each of which is divided into two acts on the two switching elements 20,30.
- the switching force F is still relatively low, so that the two components F / 2, which act on the switching elements 20, 30, both below the triggering force FA1 of the switching element 20 and below the triggering force FA2 of the switch 30 lie.
- the switching force F is therefore insufficient to carry out the first switching operation.
- the successive switching of the switching elements 20, 30 is accordingly achieved by a different switching or response characteristic of these two switching elements, with the same switching force component of F / 2. It is immediately apparent that the same effect can also be achieved, for example by shifting the switching direction S of the actuating force F towards one of the switching elements 20, 30; In such a case, switching elements with the same switching characteristics could then also be used, since the different switching time would then be defined by the different values of the force components acting on the individual switching elements.
- FIG. 2 shows a first embodiment of a multi-stage switch that works according to the principle shown in Figure 1, in which the successive switching of the switching elements is realized by their different response characteristics, so that only the construction of this embodiment will be explained below:
- the actuating element 10 is formed by a pressure plate 11, on the central region (in the vicinity of the switching direction S) an attachment 12 is applied, which through an opening 13A stationary cover 13 protrudes outwards and represents the operator area for the user for the multi-stage switch. It must be ensured here that the width of the attachment 12 is matched to the switching characteristics of the specifically used switching elements 20, 30 (eg disc springs) such that even when force is exerted on the edge of the attachment 12 with the consequent change in the force components that act on the two switching elements, the temporal sequence of the two switching operations is still guaranteed.
- the width of the attachment 12 is matched to the switching characteristics of the specifically used switching elements 20, 30 (eg disc springs) such that even when force is exerted on the edge of the attachment 12 with the consequent change in the force components that act on the two switching elements, the temporal sequence of the two switching operations is still guaranteed.
- the stationary cover 13 is usually the housing cover of the electrical device in question, in which the two-stage switching process is to be carried out.
- a plastic membrane 50 is applied, which serves both to guide the pressure plate 11 and as a restoring element and which for this purpose is held on the edge in side walls of the housing 60 of the electrical device (in this respect, the illustration in FIG. 2 is not true to scale).
- Formations * 50A, 50B similar to hemispheres are formed on the underside of the plastic membrane 50, the underside of which then serves to act on the switching elements 20, 30.
- these switching channels are designed to taper downwards (frustoconical), so that a secure centering and precise determination of the switching time is facilitated.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of a multi-stage switch, which also works according to the principle shown in Figure 1, but the successive switching of the switching elements is generated by a corresponding shape of the underside of the pressure plate, such that different "Deep" formations are provided which act on the switching elements one after the other.
- the second exemplary embodiment three switching elements are arranged next to one another (FIG. 4), which are covered by the common pressure plate IV.
- the switching elements 20 ', 30', 40 ' are also located on a common switching plate 70', as in the first exemplary embodiment described above.
- the pressure plate 11 is also actuated via an attachment 12 ', which acts on the pressure plate 11' in its center (axis S) via a membrane 50 ', which also serves as a restoring element.
- the pressure plate 11 'and membrane 50' are therefore reversed in their height order compared to the first exemplary embodiment.
- the switching plate 11 ' has on its underside three truncated cone-like shapes 11'a, 11'b, 11'c, which lie centrally above the switching elements 20', 30 ', 40'.
- the switching elements 20 ', 30' and 40 'used in the second exemplary embodiment shown are metal snap disks with a hysteresis switching behavior (also referred to as' cracking frogs').
- the pressure plate 11 ' In its central region (in the axis S), the pressure plate 11 'has a downward-pointing, cylindrical pin 11'd, which defines the maximum deflection of the pressure plate 11' downward, so that the switching plate 70 'serves as a "stop" here. for that pin ll'd. It goes without saying that the effect of this stop can only occur when the two tilting movements about the two pivot axes and the successive actuation of the contact elements have taken place.
- two multi-stage switches according to FIGS. 3 and 4 are arranged next to one another and are actuated via a common attachment 12 and a common plastic membrane 50 ′′.
- switching elements 20 ... 40 '' are provided, which are actuated by two pressure plates 11 ', 11' 'and the ones below.
- Switch through or bridge contact elements Accordingly, there are two actuation areas S1, S2, which can alternatively be selected (for example by corresponding graphic identification on the top of the attachment 12).
