Die vorliegende Neuerung betrifft einen mehrachsigen Steuerschalter mit einem beweglichen und unter selbsttätiger Rückstellung handbetätigbaren Element zur Befehlseingabe über mehrere Kontakte, die beim Bewegen des Elementes durch Verformung eines elastischen Bauteiles geschlossen oder geöffnet werden können.The present innovation concerns a multi-axis control switch with a movable element that can be manually operated with automatic reset for entering commands via several contacts that can be closed or opened by deformation of an elastic component when the element is moved.
Bei der minimal invasiven Chirurgie ist es für den Chirurgen wichtig, von seiner jeweiligen Arbeitsposition aus sein Instrumenten-Führungssystem steuern zu können. Zur Eingabe der Steuerbefehle an dieses benötigt der Chirurg eine Befehlseingabe in Form eines geeigneten Steuerschalters, die er mit dem Zeigefinger bedienen kann als Mensch-Maschine Schnittstelle.In minimally invasive surgery, it is important for the surgeon to be able to control his instrument guidance system from his current working position. To enter the control commands, the surgeon needs a command input in the form of a suitable control switch, which he can operate with his index finger as a human-machine interface.
Ein Steuerschalter der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der US-PS 5,468,924 bekannt. Mit diesem können jedoch maximal lediglich 4 Funktionen gesteuert werden. Die vorliegende Neuerung hat daher zur Aufgabe, einen Steuerschalter zu schaffen, der 6 Funktionen realisieren kann.A control switch of the type mentioned above is known from US Patent 5,468,924. However, this can only control a maximum of 4 functions. The aim of this innovation is therefore to create a control switch that can implement 6 functions.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe werden die Merkmale vorgeschlagen, die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruches 1 angeführt sind.To solve the problem, the features set out in the characterizing part of claim 1 are proposed.
Weitere Einzelheiten der Neuerung werden im folgenden und anhand der Figur, die einen Querschnitt durch den Steuerschalter zeigt, näher erläutert:Further details of the innovation are explained in more detail below and using the figure, which shows a cross-section through the control switch:
Der Steuerschalter besteht im wesentlichen aus einem Grundkörper 1 aus isolierendem Material, der einen inneren, vorzugsweise kreizylindrischen Innenraum 3 aufweist, in welchen ein biegeelatischer, zylindrischer Sockel 2 aus isolierendem Material eingesetzt ist. Über den Umfang des Innenraumes 3 sind gleichmäßig verteilt vier oder mehrereThe control switch essentially consists of a base body 1 made of insulating material, which has an inner, preferably circular-cylindrical interior space 3, in which a flexible, cylindrical base 2 made of insulating material is inserted. Evenly distributed over the circumference of the interior space 3 are four or more
längliche metallische Kontaktstreifen 4 eingesetzt, die am Boden 6 des Grundkörpers 1 mittels durch ihn durchgehenden Schrauben 5 befestigt und nach außen kontaktiert sind.elongated metallic contact strips 4 are used, which are attached to the bottom 6 of the base body 1 by means of screws 5 passing through it and are contacted to the outside.
In den Sockel 2 ist ein rotationssymetrisches Aufnahmeteil 7 aus leitendem Material eingesetzt, dessen Rand 8 bei seitlichem Abbiegen des Sockels 2 aus seiner Mitte in einem kegelförmigen Auslenkbereich an einen oder zwei der Kontaktstreifen 4 zum Anliegen kommt und eine elektrische Verbindung bzw. eine Kontaktstelle 9 jeweils zwischen diesem und dem Aufnahmeteil 7 oder zwischen zwei Kontaktstreifen herstellt. Auf diese Weise können mit dem Aufnahmeteil 7 vier oder noch mehr verschiedene Funktionen entsprechend der Anzahl der Kontaktstreifen 4 gesteuert werden. Das Aufnahmeteil 7 ist auf nicht dargestellte Weise nach aussen kontaktiert und dient der Stromzuführung. Auf dem Aufnahmeteil 7 ist ein Fingerring 10 aus Kunststoff mit seinem Bund 11 längverschieblich gelagert, wobei zwei radial durch den Bundll gesteckte Stifte 12 durch zwei Längsschlitze 14 im Aufnahmeteil 7 in dessen Innenraum 13 einragen. In das Aufnahmeteil sind stirnseitig isolierende Buchsen 17 und 18 eingeschraubt, in welchen hohle Kontakteinsätze 19 und sitzen, die ebenfalls auf nicht dargestellte Weise durch die Bohrung 21 nach außen kontaktiert sind.A rotationally symmetrical receiving part 7 made of conductive material is inserted into the base 2, the edge 8 of which, when the base 2 is bent sideways from its center, comes into contact with one or two of the contact strips 4 in a conical deflection area and creates an electrical connection or a contact point 9 between this and the receiving part 7 or between two contact strips. In this way, four or more different functions can be controlled with the receiving part 7, depending on the number of contact strips 4. The receiving part 7 is contacted to the outside in a manner not shown and serves to supply power. A finger ring 10 made of plastic with its collar 11 is mounted on the receiving part 7 so that it can be moved longitudinally, with two pins 12 inserted radially through the collar protruding through two longitudinal slots 14 in the receiving part 7 into the interior 13 of the latter. Insulating bushings 17 and 18 are screwed into the front of the receiving part, in which hollow contact inserts 19 and 20 are seated, which are also contacted to the outside through the bore 21 in a manner not shown.
Die Stifte 12 fixieren radial ein längliches metallisches Kontaktstück 15 im Innennraum 13, welches dadurch mittels des Ringes 10 über den Bund 11 im Innenraum 13 längsverschieblich ist und das mit dem Aufnahmeteil 7 leitend verbunden ist. Dieses Kontaktstück 15 wird mittels der Feder 16 in Mittellage zwischen den Kontakteinsätzen 19 und 20 gehalten, ist durch Aufbringen axialer Kräfte gegen die Federkraft mit Rückstellung durch diese zur Anlage an die Kontakte bewegbar und wird dadurch bei Zug oder Druck am Ring 10 an jeweils einen der Kontakteinsätze 19 oder 20 angeschlossen. Da das Kontaktstück 15 auch mit dem Aufnahmeteil 7 in elektrischer Verbindung bildet es auch den elek-The pins 12 radially fix an elongated metallic contact piece 15 in the interior 13, which can thus be moved longitudinally in the interior 13 by means of the ring 10 over the collar 11 and which is conductively connected to the receiving part 7. This contact piece 15 is held in the middle position between the contact inserts 19 and 20 by means of the spring 16, can be moved by applying axial forces against the spring force with return by the latter to rest on the contacts and is thus connected to one of the contact inserts 19 or 20 when the ring 10 is pulled or pushed. Since the contact piece 15 is also electrically connected to the receiving part 7, it also forms the electrical

trischen Anschluß zu den Kontaktstreifen 4. Es können somit elektrische Signale ausgelöst werden, wenn die Kontakteinsätze 19 und 20 vom Kontaktstück 15 berührt werden. Dieses kann auch auf nicht näher dargestellte Weise durch die Bohrung 21 direkt nach außen elektrisch angeschlossen sein.electrical connection to the contact strips 4. Electrical signals can thus be triggered when the contact inserts 19 and 20 are touched by the contact piece 15. This can also be electrically connected directly to the outside through the hole 21 in a manner not shown in detail.
Der Strompfad für die Kontaktstellen 9 geht nun, sofern der Ring 10 mit dem Finger seitlich durch Abbiegen des elastischen Sockels 2 ausgelenkt wird, vom Kontaktstück 15 zu den Kontaktstreifen 4 oder umgekehrt und der für die Kontaktstellen 22, sofern der Ring 10 mit dem Finger gegen die Feder 16 vor oder zurückgezogen wird vom Kontaktstück 15 zu den Kontakteinsätzen 19 oder 20 und von dort über eine Ableitung nach aussen.The current path for the contact points 9 now goes, provided the ring 10 is deflected sideways with the finger by bending the elastic base 2, from the contact piece 15 to the contact strips 4 or vice versa and that for the contact points 22, provided the ring 10 is pulled forwards or backwards against the spring 16 with the finger, from the contact piece 15 to the contact inserts 19 or 20 and from there via a discharge line to the outside.
Mit dem Steuerschalter können nun sechs Steuerbefehle mit einem Finger erzeugt werden. Bei entsprechender Stellung des Ringes 10 sind gleichzeitig drei Steuerbefehle möglich. Mit den sechs Steuerbefehlen wären drei Motoren für Vor- und Rücklauf steuerbar.With the control switch, six control commands can now be generated with one finger. If the ring 10 is in the appropriate position, three control commands are possible at the same time. With the six control commands, three motors for forward and reverse movement could be controlled.
