Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electronic timer with the electrical connection device arranged directly on the housing of the clock, in particular with a plug and with a socket provided coaxially with the plug, with a digitally displaying, optoelectronic display module and with a keypad consisting of several keys for programming the Switching times and for setting the time.
  • time switches which are connected in particular with the plug integrated therein in the time switch housing directly to a spatially permanently installed socket which is not always ideally positioned in terms of operation and are mechanically fixed in a releasable manner, it is expedient if the respective switching time and / or the time are above a larger viewing angle range can be read on the display module.
  • the display area of the module runs essentially parallel to the front or socket side there.
  • this is a very considerable disadvantage for a large number of applications, particularly when using so-called LCD display modules, especially since the viewing angle for a correct reading of a display is relatively small there and essentially only satisfactory reading from the front, ie limited to the front of the time switch or the side of the time switch socket.
  • Some other comparable electromechanical sockets timers which are provided with a switching disk with programmable switching tabs arranged on the circumference and with a dial provided on the switching disk for displaying and reading the switching and / or the times, it is known to front with the switching disk, ie with the display horizontally towards the back of the timer at a small angle of max. 15 0 inclined to arrange. This angle of inclination is permanently integrated in the housing.
  • these versions for improved reading of the display compared to the known time switches mentioned above are also only expediently readable to a limited extent.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the reading or viewing angle on the display of the display module in a time switch of the type mentioned and to such an extent that the switching and / or the times or other brought on the module for display Information from the most frequently occurring angles of view, even with a spatially unfavorable arrangement of the time switch on a socket, can be read directly and without distortion.
  • Another advantage is the simple and clear structure, in particular the easy spatial separability on the one hand of the low-voltage electronic components in the area of the display module in one part of the housing, of the high-current components, the electrical connection device, a required load switching relay and / or AC-DC converter on the other hand other part of the timer.
  • the time switch shown in FIG. 1 shows in detail a housing 1 with a square cross section on the front and a rectangular cross section on the side.
  • the electrical connection device with a plug 2 and with a socket 3 provided coaxially with the plug 2 is directly integrated in the housing 1.
  • a digitally displaying optoelectronic display module 4 is arranged, which is covered by a transparent cover 5.
  • the display module 4 in particular an LCD module, can be rotated, pivoted and adjusted in the present embodiment by about 90 about the axis 6 in the horizontal plane, and also rotated by about 90 about the axis 7 in the vertical plane, swiveling or adjustable.
  • the angle is 0 ° if the display surface 9 of the module 4 is parallel to the front of the time switch or to the so-called socket side 8 (optimal readability from the front).
  • the readability of the display surface 9 can now be changed upwards by approximately 90 ° relative to the side 8 due to the particularly stepless rotatability about the axis 6, until the display surface 9 is perpendicular to the side 8 in this position.
  • the angle is for example as 0 ° when the display surface 9 of the module 4 runs parallel to the side 8 with respect to the course of the axis 6.
  • the module can now be rotated by approx. 45 0 on each side (optimal readability from the set side from the front or from above, even if a horizontal setting has been made).
  • the respective horizontal and / or vertical setting of the module 4 can be fixed in position if necessary.
  • the respective position can be designed to be latchable or infinitely lockable.
  • the rotatable adjustment of the module 4 or its display surface 9 which can be effected manually expediently takes place from outside the cover 5.
  • provision is also made for an adjustment of the module 4 or its display surface 9 both horizontally via an action on the cover 5 as well as in the vertical is possible.
  • the cover 5 with the module 4 mounted there on the inside can be rotated or adjusted horizontally about the axis 6 up and down and also vertically about the axis 7 to the side 8.
  • the housing of the time switch is formed from two sub-housings 1a and 1b.
  • the electrical connection device with a socket 3 and a coaxial to the socket 3 provided is not more visible in this figure Plug.
  • This sub-housing 1 B is, in particular, rectangular, has an elongated edge and is connected on its upper side to the sub-housing 1 b via a hinge 10.
  • the display module 4 and advantageously also the keypad 11 for entering the switching times and for setting the time are arranged in the partial housing 1b, which in the present embodiment only corresponds to approximately 1/3 of the volume size of the partial housing 1a.
  • the display surface 9 of the display module 4 runs parallel to the front of the timer or to the socket 8.
  • Fig. 3 shows that the sub-housing 1b rotated with the module 4 by about 90 ° about the horizontal axis 6 upwards, or pivoted, or adjusted, so that the reading angle of the display from the front, is continuously variable upwards .
  • 11 there designates the single-row keypad for data input into the watch electronics.
  • the hinge 10 provided between the two partial housings 1a and 1b is in particular tubular there.
  • a battery chamber for storing a supply battery or a corresponding rechargeable battery for operating the electronics of the watch is expediently provided in the tube interior.
  • the hinge 10 is in particular equipped with means for determining the respective position of the partial housing 1b relative to the partial housing 1a.
  • the creation of the two sub-housings 1a and 1b not only fulfills the purpose of making the reading of the display surface 9 individually adjustable to the side 8, but it also makes it possible in a relatively simple manner to remove the relatively high mains voltage in the area of the electrical connecting device from the required one Separate low voltage for the operation of the electronics of the clock. It is therefore provided that, in addition to the electrical connection device, a power switching relay and / or an AC-DC converter as the mains supply are also required in the partial housing 1a is arranged for the electronics of the watch. In addition to the display module 4 and the already mentioned keypad 11, the entire remaining electronics of the watch are also expediently arranged in the partial housing 1b.
  • the two sub-housings 1a and 1b are expediently formed from two half-shells which are made of plastic and in which all bearing points for the arrangement of the individual assemblies are provided in one piece.
  • FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a time switch in which the two sub-housings 1a and 1b are connected to one another via a connecting element 10a which can be subjected to bending.
  • this connecting element 10a has the function of the hinge 10 described above.
  • This connecting element 10a makes it possible to change the position of the display surface 9 of the module relative to the socket side 8 of the partial housing 1a.
  • the connecting element 10a is expediently made of a metallic material.
  • the connecting element 10a and thus the partial housing 1a to 1b can be bent in a certain angular range of approximately ⁇ 15 °.
  • a timer other electronic or electromechanical switching and / or monitoring devices, such as an operating hours counter, or a kilowatt hour meter, or a piece counter, or a program switch, or an electromechanical time switch device, or a thermostat switch, or a hygrostat switch, or a voltage and / or ammeter, or a signal or data storage device, or an intercom or monitoring system operated via the AC network can be constructed with the features of the present claims.
  • the two sub-housings 1 a and 1 b provided can also be coupled to one another via a so-called plug-in connection, with which also the spatial position, in particular in the horizontal plane 9 to side 8, can be changed in particular in steps.
