Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of switch module, especially have the switch lever that is bearing in swingably in the support housing, wherein said switch lever has two supporting necks opposite one another, that overhang out and described support housing has some receiver holes.
Background technology
This switch module for example is used in the motor vehicle as the switch on the steering column.Switch on this steering column is for example as headlamp switch, photoflash lamp switch, rain brush switch or the like.Because switch lever is long relatively and causes the motor vehicle sustained vibration, so the supporting position of axle is proposed at its long life and some high requests aspect the no gap.Especially, supported clearance causes and partly is used as the noise that fault is felt.Traditional supporting structure has the receiver hole of a circle, is supporting a circular bolt (Rundbolzen) in described receiver hole.Because the extreme temperature fluctuation that suffers of this switch module, must under any circumstance avoid circular bolt stuck in receiver hole and switch lever can not or no longer can swing reliably.Therefore, there is the gap all the time in the circular bolt that is arranged in these receiver holes, but this can cause top these mentioned problems.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, task of the present invention is, a kind of switch module is provided, and described switch module causes less noise.
According to the present invention, this task solves thus by the switch module that this paper starts described type, and promptly these receiver holes are configured to polygon and described switch lever with the direction loading force of its supporting neck quilt towards a bight of receiver hole at least section.
By the polygon configuration of receiver hole, produce the discrete bearing-surface that some are used for supporting neck, so supporting neck occupies a definite position, described supporting neck by a definite power towards direction of receiver hole or towards a bight extruding of receiver hole.At this, the contact-making surface in the receiver hole can be level land or protruding ground or lowland bending.Advantageously, the angle of the described supporting neck of reception of receiver hole preferably is made of the V-arrangement section, so that described supporting neck rests on two limits of reception area.Described supporting neck lifting from the contact-making surface avoided thus, promptly these supporting necks with definite, an especially adjustable power by touching.Therefore, the size of fixed gap relatively loosely, and needn't worry the creak noise.
Consider that in further configuration of the present invention support housing constitutes a supporting base, described supporting base itself has two supporting necks, the axis normal setting of the axis of these two supporting necks and described receiver hole.At this, described assembly housing has two receiver holes that are used for the supporting neck of supporting base, is configured to polygon the same section of described receiver hole.Thus, these supporting necks of supporting base also seamlessly remain in these polygonal receiver holes and equally and are resting on these contact-making surfaces under the effect of predetermined power.
According to the present invention, these supporting necks of switch lever and these supporting necks of supporting base these receiver holes and these receiver holes in the assembly housing in supporting base constitute a universal joint.Therefore, the user of service not only can make progress but also can be downwards and Swinging switch bar forward and backward, and wherein all swaying directions and all oscillating motions are compensated by the gap.
Preferably, the described relatively supporting of contact element guider (Schaltst ü ckf ü hrung) is in the opposite opposite side of switch lever, and described contact element guiding means supports is on a wall of assembly housing.The support force that applies by a helix spring according to the present invention makes these supporting necks of switch lever be extruded and make these supporting necks of supporting base to be extruded in the receiver hole of assembly housing in the receiver hole of supporting base.Therefore, a unique flexible member enough is used for the gap compensation.But, also can use some other parts to replace the helix spring to produce thrust, but especially materials used protuberance, for example elasticity lip and analog in these receiver hole zones, wherein flexible member also can be set directly in the zone of these receiver holes, and these flexible members act on these supporting necks.
In a preferred embodiment, described receiver hole is configured to leg-of-mutton basically.In the case, described supporting neck wherein can be regulated thrust and therefore also can regulate the moment of friction of supporting neck in receiver hole by their open-angle between these two three arms of angle.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, described switch lever is by the direction loading force towards user of service's operating side towards it.As already mentioned, this realizes in simple mode, promptly acts on the end opposite with described operating side by a stage clip and realizes.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates one always with 10 switch modules that mark, and it for example is used with the form of the switch on the steering column.Utilize this switch module 10 can switch for example flasher, rain brush, luminous element (Lichter) and analog.Described switch module 10 has an assembly housing 12, the latter only by illustrative illustrate.A switch lever 14 stretches out from assembly housing 12, and switch lever can swingingly be bearing in the assembly housing 12 around first axle 16.For this reason, assembly housing 12 has two receiver holes 18 that are provided with opposed to each other, is supporting a supporting neck 20 in these receiver holes respectively.
As can see from Figure 2, described supporting neck 20 is outstanding from supporting base 22, and wherein as also seeing in Fig. 4, supporting base 22 itself has some receiver holes 24, and some supporting necks 26 that are arranged on the contact element guider 28 are coupled in these receiver holes.These supporting necks 26 constitute one second axis of oscillation 30, described second axis of oscillation and the 16 vertical settings of first axis of oscillation.
As can see from Figure 7, switch lever 14 on the opposite side at supporting position integratedly with this contact element guider 28 as terminal, wherein contact element guider 28 is configured to hollow and surrounds and an axially directed lock pin 32.When console switch bar 14 lock pin 32 along the chute 34 that of in assembly housing 12, being shaped move and in the effect lower support of the power of a helical compression spring 36 on described chute.
Described helical compression spring 36 between the shoulder 40 of free end 38 that the quilt of lock pin 32 thickens and contact element guider 28, this cause among Fig. 7 contact element guider 28 since the power of helical compression spring 36 from assembly housing 12, extruded left.This causes the supporting neck 26 of contact element guider 28---as shown in the Figure 4 and 5---is crushed on two sidewalls 42 of polygonal receiver hole 24.
With the power of arrow 44 (referring to Fig. 5) expression spring 36, and these arrows 46 illustrate the thrust of supporting neck 26 on these sidewalls 42.By the moment of friction that changes angle Ω and regulate the definition of supporting neck 26 on these sidewalls 42 by the diameter that changes supporting neck 26.
Because supporting neck 26 is supported in the receiver hole 24, so supporting base 22 is pushed left equally, this causes, and these supporting necks 20 of supporting base 22 are crushed in these receiver holes 18 by power 48 (referring to Fig. 3), wherein there these supporting necks with power 50 by touching on the sidewall 52 of receiver hole 18.In this moment of friction that also can regulate the definition of supporting neck 20 in receiver hole 18 by the diameter of angle Ω and supporting neck 20.
Under any circumstance, all supporting necks 20 and 26 are in it and are configured to compensate possible gap thus reliably in polygonal receiver hole 18 and 24 under the effect of a definite preload force.
