Definitions

  • the invention relates to a switch unit with an actuatable by movement actuator, wherein the actuating element is associated with a proximity sensor whose electrical contact has at least one elastic element which exerts a contact force on at least one associated contact element.
  • the proximity sensors of such switch units may be based on a capacitive or an inductive principle. Capacitive proximity sensors may have capacitors whose capacitance changes as the sensor approaches or contacts, the change being made by means of an evaluation unit can be detected.
  • inductive proximity sensors a high-frequency alternating electromagnetic field is generated by an oscillator. If an object penetrates into this alternating field, the oscillator voltage is attenuated, whereby a corresponding output signal changes.
  • the switch unit may for example be arranged in a motor vehicle and be triggered by proximity or touch of the finger of a person steering the motor vehicle.
  • a second switching function can be realized in a conventional manner.
  • the described switch units are manufactured in large quantities. Therefore, it is important to be able to produce the switch unit as inexpensively as possible. At the same time, however, a reliable electrical contacting of the proximity sensor must be ensured.
  • switch units that are used in a higher-value environment that the switch unit gives the operator a certain tactile feedback upon actuation of the actuator.
  • This feedback which can also be described with the catch phrase "haptic" is influenced, for example, by the quality of the operating surface of the actuating element.
  • the feedback to an operator but also influenced by what force is required in which position of the actuating element to move the actuator or to keep in an actuated state.
  • the present invention has the object to provide a switch unit with as few components as possible, which allows reliable contact with the proximity sensor and at the same time opens up the possibility to affect the feedback that gives the actuator in its operation exactly.
  • the contact force at an angle, in particular substantially perpendicular to the actuating direction of the actuating element acts that the elastic element is arranged on a relative to the actuating element stationary carrier, and that the contact element arranged on the actuating element and with the proximity sensor is integrally formed.
  • the object is also achieved in that the contact force is angled, in particular acts substantially perpendicular to the actuating direction of the actuating element, that the elastic element arranged on the actuating element and integrally formed with the proximity sensor eist, and that the associated contact element is stationary.
  • the elastic element Due to the redirection of the contact force from a direction parallel to the direction of actuation in an angled direction, the elastic element does not have to a direction parallel to the direction of actuation be deformed.
  • the associated deformation forces cause the feedback that conveys the actuator of an operator, can be falsified.
  • only the frictional force resulting from the contact force counteracts the movement of the actuating element.
  • the elastic element may be formed according to an embodiment of the invention as a leaf spring.
  • This leaf spring may consist of an electrically conductive material, so that with a simple component, an electrical line function and a mechanical function, namely the exercise of the contact force on the contact element, can be exercised.
  • the elastic element is formed for example of a non-conductive plastic material and is designed as a support for an electrical conductor or at least for a contact region which cooperates with the contact element.
  • the contact element has a contact surface which extends at least in sections, at least substantially parallel or concentric with the actuating direction of the actuating element. This ensures that the force exerted by the elastic element on the contact element contact force in the direction of actuation direction acts as a frictional force. In this way, knowing the coefficient of friction between a formed on the elastic member contact portion and the contact element can be precisely set, which actuating force is required to move the actuator against the frictional force can.
  • the said contact between the formed on the elastic member contact portion and the contact element is friction. This can be achieved for example by appropriate material pairings and / or by a corresponding configuration of the contact portion and the contact element.
  • the contact portion may be rounded and the contact element tangent to this rounded portion.
  • the elastic element is arranged on a carrier which is stationary relative to the actuating element, and that the contact element is arranged on the actuating element. This allows the actuator handle particularly easily during assembly of the switch unit.
  • a part of the electrical contacting of the switch unit can be formed by a minimum number of components.
  • the elastic element is arranged on the actuating element and that the associated contact element is stationary.
  • the elastic element may advantageously be electrically connected to the proximity sensor and / or be integrally formed therewith, whereby in an arrangement analogous to the above-described arrangement components can be saved.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that a plurality of elastic elements and / or contact elements are provided.
  • a particularly reliable electrical contact can be created
  • the elastic elements and / or contact elements are arranged symmetrically relative to the actuation direction, in particular mirror or rotationally symmetrical, to achieve that upon actuation of the actuating element no forces acting at an angle to the actuating direction forces arise, the operating feeling of the actuating element and the switch unit could be detrimental.
  • the switch unit may have a circuit board on which the elastic element or the contact element is arranged.
  • the elastic element or the contact element are inserted or soldered into the board. Since this is in any case present in particular when using a plurality of switch units, parts of the electrical contact can be integrated into these in a simple manner.
  • the switch unit has a switch which can be actuated by the actuator, the operating feeling of the switch unit is essentially determined by the switch and not by the electrical contacting of the proximity sensor. With the switch in the manner described above, a switching function can be met, which is independent of the switching function of the proximity sensor.
  • the switch can be actuated by a lifting, turning, sliding and / or tilting movement of the actuating element.
  • the force exerted by the elastic element on the associated, in particular rigid contact element contact force is not parallel to said actuating directions, but at an angle, in particular at an angle of at least 10 °, in particular at least 45 °, further in particular an angle of at least approximately 90 °.
  • the actuating force of the switch is greater than the force exerted by the elastic element on the contact element contact force. This ensures - regardless of the friction conditions between the elastic element and the contact element - ensures that the operating feeling of the switch unit at least predominantly of the switch and is not determined by the electrical contact of the proximity sensor.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the electrical contact forms a mechanical guide for the actuating element relative to a stationary component of the switch unit.
  • the at least one elastic element and the contact element can thus be used to provide guide elements for the actuating element, which thus does not have to be guided separately, for example in a housing.
  • the stationary component may be formed by a housing, a circuit board and / or by a switch which can be actuated by the actuating element.
  • a switch unit according to the invention is designated overall by the reference numeral 10.
  • This has a movable actuating element 12, which is received in a housing 14 shown only in sections.
  • the switch unit 10 further has a circuit board 16, on which a switch 18 is arranged.
  • a proximity sensor 20 is attached at the bottom of the actuating element 10.
  • This covers a metal layer, which on the a control surface 22 of the actuating element 10 facing away from the actuating element 12 is arranged.
  • the control surface may be substantially circular, square or rectangular and is bounded outwardly by a collar 24 which extends in the direction of the board 16 in a housing 26 formed in the guide 26.
  • a projection 28 is arranged, which extends in the direction of the switch 18. Upon actuation of the actuating element 12 in the direction designated 30, the projection 28 acts on the switch 18 and actuates it.
  • a further switching function can be fulfilled with the aid of the switch unit 10, when, for example, the finger of an operator approaches the operating surface 22 or touches it.
  • an electric field 32 generated by the proximity sensor 20 is influenced (for example, the capacitance of the proximity sensor 20 is increased), so that a switching function assigned to the proximity sensor 20 can be performed.
  • Integrally formed with the metal layer of the proximity sensor 20 is a rigid contact element 34, which extends at least in sections along the collar 24.
  • the contact element 34 forms the electrical counterpart to two elastic elements 36 which are inserted in receptacles 38 of the circuit board 16.
  • the elastic elements 36 are arranged symmetrically with respect to one another and each have a first straight section 40 adjacent to the receptacle 38, a curved section 42 adjoining this section and a contact section 44 adjoining this section.
  • the contact portion 44 is rounded, so that the of the contact element 34th formed contact surface 46 bears tangentially on the contact portion 44.
  • the sections 42 of the elastic elements 36 are curved in such a way that the contact section 44 bears against the contact surfaces 46 of the contact elements 34 under prestress. In the drawing, this is shown for the right hand illustrated elastic member 36 in an enlargement, wherein the force exerted by the contact portion 44 on the contact surface 46 of the contact element 34 contact force is designated 48.
  • the contact force 48 acts substantially perpendicular to the actuation direction 30 of the actuating element 12. Due to the friction between the contact portion 44 and the contact element 34, a frictional force is generated during movement of the actuating element 12 in the actuating direction 30, which is opposite to the direction of movement 30 and in the magnification designated by reference numeral 50.
  • the applied for the actuation of the switch 18 via the actuator 12 force is much greater than the contact force 48. This in turn is due to the friction favorable design of the friction partner contact portion 44 and contact element 34 again much smaller than the contact force 48. This ensures that the forces to be applied for actuation of the actuating element 12 are substantially independent of the electrical contacting of the proximity sensor 20 formed by the elastic elements 36 and the contact elements 34.
