Description

Bedieneinrichtung operating device
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bedieneinrichtung, insbesondere für ein Kraftfahrzeug oder für ein Kraftfahrzeugnavigationssystem.The invention relates to an operating device, in particular for a motor vehicle or for a motor vehicle navigation system.
Moderne Kraftfahrzeuge verfügen zunehmend über eine separat von einer Anzeigeeinrichtung gebildete Bedieneinrichtung im Bereich der Mittelkonsole. Eine solche Bedieneinrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der EP 0893750 B1 bekannt. Die Bedieneinrichtung verfügt dabei über ein bidirektional um seine Symmetrieachse drehbares Schaltglied, das zudem axial bewegbar (drückbar) und schwenkbar gelagert ist. Damit können durch ein Drehen, Drücken und/oder Schwenken des Schaltgliedes beispielsweise Menüpunkte auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung markiert und ausgewählt werden oder Parameter eingestellt werden.Modern motor vehicles increasingly have a control device, which is formed separately from a display device, in the area of the center console. Such an operating device is known for example from EP 0893750 B1. The operating device has a bidirectionally rotatable about its axis of symmetry switching element, which is also axially movable (can be pressed) and pivotally mounted. Thus, by turning, pressing and / or pivoting the switching element, for example, menu items can be marked and selected on a display device or parameters can be set.
Es stellte sich bei umfangreichen der Erfindung zu Grunde liegenden Untersuchungen heraus, dass gerade während der Fahrt häufig gleichzeitig mit einem vom Fahrer beabsichtigten Schwenken oder Kippen eines solchen Schaltgliedes ein vom Fahrer nicht beabsichtigtes Drehen des Schaltgliedes bewirkt wird. Dies liegt auch daran, dass die Bedieneinrichtung derart konzipiert ist, dass mit gleichen Angriffspunkten am Schaltglied sowohl ein Schwenken oder Kippen des Schaltgliedes als auch ein Drehen des Schaltgliedes bewirkt werden kann.It turned out in extensive the invention of the underlying investigations that just while driving often simultaneously with a driver intended pivoting or tilting of such a switching element, a driver not intended rotation of the switching element is effected. This is also because the operating device is designed in such a way that both pivoting or tilting of the switching element as well as rotation of the switching element can be effected with the same attack points on the switching element.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Bedieneinrichtung zu schaffen, durch die ein, insbesondere fahrzeugtechnisches, System, wie beispielsweise ein Navigationssystem oder ein Entertainmentsystem, basierend auf einem Drehen, Drücken und/oder Kippen, insbesondere während der Fahrt, sicher bedienbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den abhängigen Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.The invention is based on the object of providing an operating device by means of which a vehicle-specific system, such as a navigation system or an entertainment system based on turning, pressing and / or tilting, in particular while driving, can be safely operated , This object is solved by the features of the main claim. Advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung basiert demnach auch auf dem Gedanken, ein Drehelement und ein Kappenelement vorzusehen und diese derart zweiteilig und/oder entkoppelt voneinander auszubilden und anzuordnen, dass ein beabsichtigtes Kippen des Kappenelementes oder des Drehelementes nicht ein unbeabsichtigtes Drehen des Drehelementes bewirkt und/oder ein beabsichtigtes Drehen des Drehelementes nicht ein unbeabsichtigtes Kippen des Kappenelementes oder des Drehelementes bewirkt.Accordingly, the invention is also based on the idea of providing a rotary element and a cap element and designing and arranging them in two parts and / or decoupled from one another in such a way that intentional tilting of the cap element or of the rotary element does not cause unintentional rotation of the rotary element and / or intentional rotation the rotary element does not cause an unintended tilting of the cap member or the rotary member.
Vorzugsweise ist dazu ein Kappenelement über einem um eine Rotationsachse (Symmetrieachse) drehbaren Drehelement oder oberhalb eines um eine Rotationsachse drehbaren Drehelements angeordnet. Dabei kann die Rotationsachse zudem die Symmetrieachse und/oder die Längsachse des Drehelementes bilden. Das Kappenelement und das Drehelement sind vorteilhafterweise kippbar ausgeführt, wobei das Drehelement derart mit dem Kappenelement gekoppelt ist, dass ein Kippen des Kappenelementes ein Kippen des Drehelementes bewirkt und umgekehrt. Das Kappenelement und das Drehelement sind beispielsweise in jeweils zwei, vier oder acht im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Rotationsachse gerichtete Kipprichtungen kippbar.For this purpose, a cap element is preferably arranged above a rotary element which is rotatable about an axis of rotation (axis of symmetry) or above a rotary element which is rotatable about an axis of rotation. In this case, the axis of rotation can also form the axis of symmetry and / or the longitudinal axis of the rotary element. The cap member and the rotary member are advantageously designed tiltable, wherein the rotary member is coupled to the cap member such that a tilting of the cap member causes a tilting of the rotary member and vice versa. The cap element and the rotary element can be tilted, for example, in each case in two, four or eight tilting directions directed essentially perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Zwischen Drehelement und Kappenelement ist vorteilhafterweise kein weiteres Element angeordnet. Das Kappenelement selbst ist vorzugsweise drehfest bezüglich einer Drehung um die Rotationsachse des Drehelementes ausgeführt und damit also nicht um die Rotationsachse des Drehelementes drehbar. Ein Drehen des Drehelementes um seine Rotationsachse oder Längsachse kann dadurch kein Drehen des Kappenelementes bewirken. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass durch den Fahrer ein besonders einfaches und komfortables Kippen des Drehelementes samt Kappenelement möglich ist, aber ein versehentliches Drehen des Drehelementes beim beabsichtigten Kippen des Kappenelementes und/oder des Drehelementes durch eine verdrehhemmende Wirkung des Kappenelementes verhindert werden kann, beispielsweise weil zumindest ein Finger auf dem drehfesten Kappenelement ruht und das Kappenelement so als Dreh-Fixpunkt wirkt.Between the rotary member and cap member no further element is advantageously arranged. The cap element itself is preferably designed to be non-rotatable with respect to a rotation about the axis of rotation of the rotary element and therefore not rotatable about the axis of rotation of the rotary element. A rotation of the rotary member about its axis of rotation or longitudinal axis can thereby cause no rotation of the cap member. This ensures that a particularly simple and comfortable tilting of the rotary member including cap member is possible by the driver, but accidental rotation of the rotary member in the intended tilting of the cap member and / or the rotary member can be prevented by a Verdrehhemmende effect of the cap member, for example because at least a finger rests on the non-rotatable cap member and the cap member acts as a rotational fixed point.
Um das Drehelement auch während der Fahrt, insbesondere ohne hinzusehen, sicher erfühlen und komfortabel bedienen, insbesondere drehen, zu können, ragt das Drehelement in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Rotationsachse des Drehelementes unter dem Kappenelement hervor.In order to feel the rotating element while driving, especially without looking, feel safe and comfortable to use, in particular rotate, to, the rotary member protrudes in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotary member under the cap member.
Die Bedienbarkeit wird weiter verbessert, indem das Drehelement und/oder das Kappenelement senkrecht zur Rotationsachse einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweist.The operability is further improved by the rotary member and / or the cap member has a circular cross-section perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Vorteilhafterweise sind das Kappenelement und das Drehelement konzentrisch zueinander ausgebildet. Dadurch sind das Kappenelement und das Drehelement mit einer Hand bedienbar. Dies vereinfacht und beschleunigt eine Handhabung der Bedieneinrichtung weiter.Advantageously, the cap member and the rotary member are concentric with each other. As a result, the cap member and the rotary member can be operated with one hand. This further simplifies and accelerates handling of the operating device.
Vorzugsweise weist das Kappenelement auf der Oberseite eine Mulde auf, welche als Angriffsfläche dient, um das Kappenelement und damit das Drehelement in eine gewünschte Richtung zu kippen.Preferably, the cap member on the top of a trough, which serves as an attack surface to tilt the cap member and thus the rotary member in a desired direction.
Das Drehelement und/oder das Kappenelement kann zudem derart ausgeführt und gelagert sein, dass es in Richtung Rotationsachse oder Längsachse drückbar ist (Druck-Kipp-Drehelement). Besonders bevorzugt ist das Drehelement derart mit dem Kappenelement gekoppelt, dass ein Drücken des Drehelementes ein Drücken des Kappenelementes bewirkt und/oder umgekehrt.The rotary member and / or the cap member may also be designed and mounted such that it can be pressed in the direction of the axis of rotation or longitudinal axis (pressure-tilting rotary member). Particularly preferably, the rotary member is coupled to the cap member such that pressing the rotary member causes the cap member to be pressed and / or vice versa.
Das Kappenelement kann dabei die Formgebung des Drehelementes aufnehmen oder fortsetzen, um einem Nutzer mit Hinblick auf die Kippbewegung zu signalisieren, dass das Drehelement und das Kappenelement eine Einheit bilden.The cap member may receive or continue the shaping of the rotary member to signal a user with regard to the tilting movement that the rotary member and the cap member form a unit.
Alternativ oder ergänzend dazu kann der zur Rotationsachse senkrechte Durchmesser des Kappenelementes an der Unterseite im Wesentlichen dem zur Rotationsachse senkrechten Durchmesser des Drehelementes an der Oberseite entsprechen.Alternatively or additionally, the diameter of the cap element perpendicular to the axis of rotation may substantially correspond to the diameter of the rotary element at the top which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Kappenelement und/oder das Drehelement um ein Kugellager oder Kugelgelenk kippbar gelagert sind.An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the cap member and / or the rotary member are tiltably mounted about a ball bearing or ball joint.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt es auch, die Kippbewegung des Kappenelementes und/oder des Drehelementes durch eine Schwenkbewegung (im Wesentlichen lineare Bewegung senkrecht zur Rotationsachse) des Kappenelementes und/oder des Drehelementes zu ersetzen.In the context of the invention it is also to replace the tilting movement of the cap member and / or the rotary member by a pivoting movement (substantially linear movement perpendicular to the axis of rotation) of the cap member and / or the rotary member.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Beispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die folgenden Figuren näher erläutert:In the following, the invention is explained in more detail by means of examples with reference to the following figures:
Figur 1 zeigt eine Bedieneinrichtung in perspektivischer Darstellung;Figure 1 shows an operating device in perspective view;
Figur 2 zeigt eine Bedieneinrichtung in seitlicher Darstellung; Figur 3 zeigt eine Bedieneinrichtung in seitlicher Darstellung.Figure 2 shows an operating device in a lateral view; Figure 3 shows an operating device in a lateral view.
Figur 1 zeigt eine Bedieneinrichtung 1 mit einem um eine Rotationsachse (Symmetrieachse, Längsachse) 12 in beide Richtungen drehbaren Drehelement 2 (Drehfreiheitsgrad ist exemplarisch durch Pfeil 11 angedeutet) und mit einem über dem Drehelement 2 angeordneten Kappenelement 3. Die Kipprichtungen 8 und 9, in die das Drehelement 2 und das Kappenelement kippbar sind, stehen ausgehend vom Grund- oder Ruhezustand im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Rotationsachse 12.1 shows an operating device 1 with a about an axis of rotation (symmetry axis, longitudinal axis) 12 rotatable in both directions rotary member 2 (rotational degree of freedom is exemplified by arrow 11) and with a arranged above the rotary member 2 cap member 3. The Kipprichtungen 8 and 9, in that the rotary member 2 and the cap member are tilted, are starting from the basic or resting state substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation 12th
Das Kappenelement 3 wirkt derart mit dem Drehelement 2 zusammen, dass ein Kippen des Kappenelementes 3 ein Kippen des Drehelementes 2 (Kipp- Drehelement) in die gleiche Kipprichtung bewirkt und umgekehrt (Kippen des Drehelementes 2 bewirkt Kippen des Kappenelementes 3 in die gleiche Kipprichtung). Das Kappenelement 3 ist dabei, insbesondere relativ zum Fahrzeug oder zur Mittelkonsole des Fahrzeuges, nicht drehbar ausgeführt.The cap member 3 cooperates with the rotary member 2 such that tilting of the cap member 3 causes tilting of the rotary member 2 (tilting rotary member) in the same tilting direction, and vice versa (tilting of the rotary member 2 causes tilting of the cap member 3 in the same tilting direction). The cap member 3 is, in particular relative to the vehicle or center console of the vehicle, not rotatable.
Das Drehelement 2 und das Kappenelement 3 weisen senkrecht zur Rotationsachse einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf und sind konzentrisch zueinander ausgebildet.The rotary element 2 and the cap element 3 have a circular cross-section perpendicular to the axis of rotation and are formed concentrically with one another.
Das Kappenelement 3 weist auf der Oberseite eine Fuge 5 auf, welche als Angriffsfläche dient, um das Kappenelement 3 und damit das Drehelement 2 in eine gewünschte Richtung zu kippen. Alternativ dazu kann das Kappenelement 3 auf der Oberseite eine Mulde aufweisen. Das Kappenelement 3 bietet also zusätzliche Angriffsflächen (Fuge oder Mulde) für das Kippen oder Verschieben des Drehelementes, die gleichzeitig oder alternativ genutzt werden können. Die muldenförmige Ausprägung der Kappe hat den weiteren Vorteil, dass die betätigenden Finger zur Mitte hin zentriert werden, wo auch die Drückbewegung am besten eingeleitet werden sollte, um Fehlbetätigungen durch ein außermittiges Drücken zu vermeiden. Die Gefahr eines unge- wollten Verkippens des Kappenelementes und damit des Drehelementes beim Drücken wird damit verringert.The cap member 3 has on the top of a joint 5, which serves as an attack surface to tilt the cap member 3 and thus the rotary member 2 in a desired direction. Alternatively, the cap member 3 may have a trough on the top. The cap member 3 thus provides additional attack surfaces (joint or trough) for tilting or moving the rotary element, which can be used simultaneously or alternatively. The trough-shaped shape of the cap has the further advantage that the actuating fingers are centered towards the center, where the pressing movement should be best initiated to avoid false actuations by an eccentric pressing. The danger of wanted tilting of the cap member and thus the rotary member while pressing is reduced thereby.
Zudem sind das Kappenelement 3 und damit das Drehelement 2 durch eine Kraft auf die Kappe, insbesondere die Mulde, in Richtung (angedeutet durch Pfeil 10) der Rotationsachse 12 drückbar. Das Drehelement 2 ist dann als Druck-Kipp-Drehelement ausgeführt.In addition, the cap member 3 and thus the rotary member 2 by a force on the cap, in particular the trough, in the direction (indicated by arrow 10) of the rotation axis 12 can be pressed. The rotary element 2 is then designed as a pressure-tilting rotary member.
Das Drehelement 2 ist somit um die z-Achse 10 drehbar, in x- und y- Richtung 8,9 und in die jeweils entgegen gesetzte Richtung kippbar und in z- Richtung 10 drückbar. Das Kappenelement 3 ist in x- und y-Richtung 8,9 und in die jeweils entgegen gesetzte Richtung kippbar und in z-Richtung 10 drückbar.The rotary member 2 is thus rotatable about the z-axis 10, in the x- and y- direction 8,9 and in the opposite direction respectively tilted and in the z-direction 10 can be pressed. The cap element 3 can be tilted in the x- and y-direction 8,9 and in the respectively opposite direction and can be pressed in the z-direction 10.
Das Drehelement 2 ist eingerahmt von einer Blende 7oder eingebettet in eine Blende 7, die auch Tasten oder Schalter 6 umfassen kann oder daraus gebildet sein kann.The rotary member 2 is framed by a shutter 7 or embedded in a diaphragm 7, which may also include buttons or switches 6 or may be formed therefrom.
In Figur 2 ist die Bedieneinrichtung 1 von der Seite dargestellt. Gleiche Bezugszeichen bezeichnen in Figur 2 und weiteren Figuren die entsprechenden Elemente wie in Figur 1. Dabei können die Bedieneinrichtungen oder Elemente verschiedener Figuren identisch sein, müssen aber nicht.In Figure 2, the operating device 1 is shown from the side. The same reference numerals in Figure 2 and other figures denote the corresponding elements as in Figure 1. In this case, the control devices or elements of different figures may be identical, but need not.
In der oberen Zone 16 befindet sich das drehfeste Kappenelement 3, in der mittleren Zone 17 das drehbare Drehelement 2 und in der unteren Zone 18 die von der Mittelkonsole das Fahrzeuges getragene feste Einfassung 7 der Bedieneinrichtung. Beim Kippen des Drehelementes 2 und des Kappenelementes 3 durch eine Kraft auf das Kappenelement 2 mit oder ohne Kraft auf das Drehelement 2 wirkt das nicht drehbare Kappenelement 2 verdrehhemmend, wodurch ein unbeabsichtigtes Verdrehen beim Kippen und damit eine Fehlbedienung vermieden wird.In the upper zone 16 is the non-rotatable cap member 3, in the central zone 17, the rotatable rotary member 2 and in the lower zone 18, the vehicle supported by the center console fixed enclosure 7 of the operating device. When tilting the rotary member 2 and the cap member 3 by a force on the cap member 2 with or without force on the rotary member 2, the non-rotatable cap member 2 acts against rotation, whereby accidental rotation during tilting and thus incorrect operation is avoided.
In Figur 3 ist die Bedieneinrichtung 1 wieder von der Seite dargestellt. Es ist das Kappenelement 3 und das Drehelement in gedrücktem Zustand zu sehne. Gestrichelt ist die Kontur 33 des nicht gedrückten Kappenelementes, und damit die Kontur der Bedieneinrichtung 1 im Grundzustand dargestellt.In Figure 3, the control device 1 is again shown from the side. It is the cap member 3 and the rotary member to press in the pressed state. Dashed is the contour 33 of the non-depressed cap member, and thus the contour of the operating device 1 shown in the ground state.
Ist die Bedieneinrichtung beispielsweise am Dach des Kraftfahrzeuges über dem Kopf des Fahrers angeordnet, so kann die Bedieneinrichtung gegenüber den in den Figuren dargestellten Bedieneinrichtungen im 180 Grad gedreht sein, so dass aus dem Begriff "unter" je nach Betrachtungsweise ein "über" werden kann. Selbstverständlich fällt auch eine solche Ausführungsform in den Rahmen der Erfindung.If the operating device is arranged, for example, on the roof of the motor vehicle above the driver's head, then the operating device can be rotated 180 degrees relative to the operating devices illustrated in the figures, so that the term "below" can be "over" depending on the point of view. Of course, such an embodiment falls within the scope of the invention.
Vorzugsweise ist die Bedieneinrichtung mit einer Prozessoreinrichtung gekoppelt, wobei die Prozessoreinrichtung derart eingerichtet ist, dass durch das Drehelement und das Kippelement dieselbe fahrzeugtechnische Komponente oder die gleichen fahrzeugtechnischen Komponenten ansprechbar sind. So können beispielsweise durch das Kippelement Menüpunkte (Radio, Heizung oder Navigationssystem) markiert oder ausgewählt (beispielsweise in Kombination mit einem Drücken) werden, und dann entsprechende Parameter (Empfangsfrequenz, Temperatur oder Maßstab) durch das Drehelement geändert werden. Preferably, the operating device is coupled to a processor device, wherein the processor device is set up such that the same vehicle-technical component or the same vehicle-technical components can be addressed by the rotary element and the tilting element. Thus, for example, by the tilting element menu items (radio, heating or navigation system) can be marked or selected (for example, in combination with a press), and then corresponding parameters (reception frequency, temperature or scale) are changed by the rotary element.
