Definitions
- the invention relates to an actuator which is provided for switching a switching unit and has a mechanical display, wherein the mechanical display has a plurality of windows and a plurality of visible through these windows display surfaces. Furthermore, the invention relates to an electromechanical control device with a switchable by such an actuator switching unit.
- Electromechanical command devices are widely used to operate and control machinery and equipment. These occur in various forms, for example as pushbuttons, toggle switches, key switches or emergency stop switches. Control devices are mounted on control panels, control panels, control cabinet doors or enclosure covers. By manual operation of the command devices electrical switching state changes and thus the desired control effects are generated. Command devices are equipped with a mechanical display by default to prevail
- the US 4,954,675 describes an actuator which is provided for scarf ⁇ tion of a switching unit and has a mechanical display with a window through which a display ⁇ area is visible.
- the display surface is connected to a spring web, which is deflected during an actuating movement of the actuating part about an axis which is oriented perpendicular to the actuating movement of the actuating part.
- the invention has for its object to provide an actuator with a space-saving, highly visible display.
- an actuator of the initially mentioned type in that a plurality of display surfaces are connected to a spring bar attached to the actuating head of the actuator and are provided for rotation in part about an axis of rotation during an actuating movement of the actuating head together with at least part of the spring bar are oriented substantially perpendicular to the actuating movement of the actuating head, wherein the display surfaces are visible through the annular windows formed in the actuator head.
- an electromechanical command device in particular an emergency stop switch, with a switchable by such an actuator switching unit.
- the aim is to move a plurality of display surfaces behind a plurality of windows of the command device, in particular the Be ⁇ actor such that the plurality of adoseflä- into or out of the majority of windows.
- the mechanical display of the command device in particular the emergency stop switch, has a plurality of windows, one
- a spring bar is coupled to a display area or multiple display ⁇ surfaces, connected or even integrally connected.
- the spring bars and the display surfaces together form an indicator.
- the spring bar has the task of holding the display surfaces and due to its elastic properties and length to move the display surfaces defined behind or in the windows. Due to the mechanical or integral connection of the spring bar to the operating head or one of its components, make the spring bar and its display ⁇ surfaces, that is, the whole indicator that Betuschistsbewe ⁇ supply of the actuator head with. Next the spring bar ge ⁇ forced, is its relative position to control head/2017in- least partially change.
- the optical display is realized by a purely mechanical operating principle independent of a power supply. No additional wiring effort is required for the user.
- the display works to ⁇ reliably, especially electrical sources of error, such as blown bulbs, are excluded.
- the spring bar is provided at the Betreli whysbewe ⁇ tion to the elastic stress.
- a spring bar is advantageous, which is shaped like a leaf spring, and has a small cross-section relative to its length, in particular a wire-like body, which is easy to integrate into the interior of the actuator and keeps the friction low by low deformation forces.
- the spring bar is provided to be applied to the actuating head during the actuating movement.
- Such a system of Fe ⁇ dersteges to the actuating head may optionally define an axis of rotation for the rotational movement of the display surfaces.
- the rotational movement of the display surface can be triggered by a stationary component, which forces the spring bar when actuated in a different relative position to Be ⁇ concernedungskopf.
- the forced loading ⁇ movement of the spring bar is supported by means of tabs and / or bevels. This is especially true for the rotational movement.
- the lugs and / or beads are provided to support a point contact between the spring bar and stationary component. Beads provide this point-shaped or line-shaped raised stabili ⁇ relationships or aggregates of the spring bar.
- the spring bar is designed to be very long, so that even a small elastic load thereof in the sense of a leverage to a large deflection, that is to large deflection angles leads. In this way, large-area display surfaces are used, which made it a better visualization of the state to be displayed ⁇ union.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an actuator according to the invention in the unactuated state
- Fig. 4 is a plan view of the actuator of Fig. 3; 5 shows a sectional view of the actuator according to the invention in the unactuated state.
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the actuator according to the invention in the actuated state
- Fig. 7 in a perspective view of the actuator according to the invention in a plan view without cap.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of an actuator 1 according to the invention in the unactuated state, which is preferably constructed in two parts and an actuating head 2 and a rosette 3, wherein the actuating head 2, the rosette 3 partially overlaps.
- the actuating head 2 is shown in a plan view.
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of an actuator according to the invention in the actuated state. Again, preferably three Ad ⁇ gevid 8 is arranged, which are held in the actuated state to "red" in the cover of the actuating head 2 in FIG. 4.
- the actuator 1 according to the invention is shown in the inoperative ⁇ th state.
- the actuating head 2 is preferential ⁇ example mushroom-shaped.
- the rosette 3 may be attached, for example via clamping or locking elements on the actuating head 2.
- From the actuator head 2 housing guides 4, 5 protrude into the interior of the actuator 1 inside.
- the housing guides 4, 5 include a coil spring 6 a.
- a spring element 7 is formed, which is formed substantially L-shaped and moves in Actu ⁇ tion of the actuator inwardly in the direction of the housing guide 4, 5 moves.
- the spring element 7 has a serving as a display surface 8 area and a guide web 9.
- the on ⁇ display surface 8 of the spring element 7 is designed so that upon actuation of the actuator 1, the display surface 8 changes color, for example, from "yellow” to "red".
- the respective switching state of the actuator can be seen from the outside through a plurality of windows 10.
- Fig. 6 the actuator 1 is shown in the actuated state, wherein the spring bar 9 of the spring element 7 is now guided inwardly along the rosette 3. This is associated with a change of the display surfaces 8 of the spring element 7 from the unactuated state, which is preferably displayed in yellow, in the actuated state, which is preferably displayed in red.
- Fig. 7 shows the actuator 1 according to the invention without a cap, so that the preferably three large-area display surfaces 8, which are preferably held in "yellow” and “red” and of can be seen externally by equally large, annular window in the lid of the operating head, can be seen.
- the invention relates to an actuator with a mechanical display, wherein the actuator is provided for switching a switching unit and the mechanical on ⁇ display has a plurality of windows and a plurality of recognizable by these windows display surfaces.
- the invention is based on the finding that previous mechanical displays provide a high space requirement within the command device and, moreover, that the display areas for the switching state of the actuator were kept very small.
- the problem of space-saving integration is solved here by display surfaces which are connected to a spring bar attached to the actuating head, wherein the display surfaces are provided during the actuating movement together with at least a part of the spring bar for partial rotation about a rotation axis, and wherein the display surfaces are visible through the annular windows in the actuator head.
