Definitions

  • the invention relates to a combined rocker switch / rocker switch according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a button-type rocker switch or push-button for household electrical installations comprising a switch housing, a push button, a switch plunger, a resilient return element for the switch plunger, a contact rocker and an elastic switching element for the contact rocker, wherein switch function and button function are combined in a single device.
  • a suspension point of the elastic switching element in the switch housing is displaceable between a first place in which there are two stable positions for the contact rocker and a second place in which there is only a stable position for the contact rocker.
  • the suspension point of the elastic switching element can be located on a pivotally mounted in the switch housing lever or slidably mounted slider.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a simple design and inexpensive to produce combined rocker switch / rocker switch.
  • the achievable with the present invention consist in particular in that a contact rocker from a bent part (from a good electrically conductive metal) can be used.
  • a contact rocker from a bent part from a good electrically conductive metal
  • trained cutting bearing unit can be formed directly an electrical connection unit.
  • the cutting bearing / connection unit 1 has a connection terminal 2 (preferably plug-in terminal), which is electrically connected directly to a cutting-edge storage unit 3.
  • the cutting-edge bearing unit 3 has a pin receptacle 4 serving for rotatably supporting the spring receptacle 8 and a cutting receptacle 5 serving for rotatably supporting the contact rocker.
  • the knife-edge bearing / connection unit 1 also has a connection terminal 6 (preferably plug-in terminal) which is electrically connected directly to a switching contact 7 ,
  • the spring receptacle 8 consists of a tension spring 17 partially enclosing housing which inside a spring connection point (see paragraph 10 in FIG. 3) for suspending the tension spring 17 and on which two pivot pins 9 are located outside, which are suitable for engagement in the pin receptacle 4 of the cutting bearing / connection unit 1, whereby a rotational mobility of the spring receptacle 8 with the axis of rotation "pin receptacle 4 + pivot 9" within defined borders.
  • the contact rocker 11 has an approximately T-shaped base body, which is provided at the connection point of both legs with two suitable for engaging in the blade holder 5 of the cutting edge bearing / connection unit 1 cutting 12.
  • the main body is provided on the "short" leg above these cutting edges 12 with a receiving fork 13 and is formed below these cutting edges 12 as a shift lever 15, which has a switching contact end 16.
  • a spring connection point 14 for suspending the tension spring 17 is provided at the end.
  • the "short" leg actually be longer than the "long” leg, only the approximately T-shaped configuration of the contact rocker 11 with cutting 12 at the junction point of both legs and the linear connection receiving fork 13 - cutting 12 - switching contact 16 is essential.
  • connection unit 18 has a connection terminal 20 (preferably plug-in terminal), which is electrically connected directly to a switching contact 19.
  • the approximately cuboid rocker 21 has pivot pins 22 which are integrally formed on two opposite narrow sides and engage in correspondingly shaped grooves on the housing of the installation device, whereby a rotational mobility of the rocker switch is made possible within defined limits.
  • pivot pins 22 which are integrally formed on two opposite narrow sides and engage in correspondingly shaped grooves on the housing of the installation device, whereby a rotational mobility of the rocker switch is made possible within defined limits.
  • a pin 23 suitable for engagement in the receiving fork 13.
  • the electrical contacting in the first realizable position is: Terminal 2 - cutting edge bearing unit 3 - contact rocker 11 - switching contact 16 - switching contact 19 - connection terminal 20.
  • Fig. 3 is a section through the combined rocker switch / rocker switch is shown. It is the above-mentioned spring connection point 10 of the spring receiver 8 for the tension spring 17 can be seen.
  • the pin 23 engages in the receiving fork 13 a. Once the right portion of the rocker 21 is pressed down, the pin 23 pivots inclusive receiving fork 13 of the contact rocker 11 about the pivot pin 22, whereby the contact rocker 11 rotates about the support point on the cutting bearing unit 3 and thus the switching contact 16 is lifted from the switching contact 7 and is guided to the switching contact 19.
  • the combined rocker switch / rocker switch is set to the function "switching operation".
  • the changeover to the function "touch operation” is carried out by the spring retainer 8 is rotated about its pivot 9 upwards.
  • the spring action line is displaced and results in the dashed lines shown spring connection point 10 '.
  • pulls the tension spring 17, the contact rocker 11 when setting the Tast sess only to the switching contact 19 out.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show side views of the combined rocker switch / rocker switch (front view in FIG. 4 and rear view in FIG. 5). It is the terminals 2, 5, 20, the switch contacts 7, 16, 19, the rotatably mounted on their pivot pin 9 in the cutting bearing unit 3 spring mount 8, via their Cutting 12 in the cutting-edge bearing unit 3 rotatably mounted contact rocker 11 and the rocker switch 21 with the engaging in the receiving fork 13 pin 23 can be seen.
  • FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram of the second switching position of a combined rocker switch / rocker switch set to the "switching operation" function.
  • pressure is exerted on the rocker switch 21, whereby the pin 23 engaging in the receiving fork 13 pivots the shift lever 15.
  • This position shown in FIG. 7 corresponds to z. B. the ON position of the switch.
  • the electrical contacting of the second position terminal 2 - cutting edge bearing unit 3 - contact rocker 11 - switching contact 16 - switching contact 7 - terminal 6.
  • arises between the spring connection point 10 and spring connection point 14 below the cutting edge 12 ( pivot point of the contact pad 11 on the knife-edge bearing) extending spring line 25.
  • the second position shown is stable.
  • FIG. 8 shows a schematic diagram of the first sensing position of a combined rocker switch / rocker switch set to the "key operation" function.
  • the spring connection point 10 ' is shifted upward when the "operating mode” function is set.
  • the electrical contacting of the first position is: terminal 2 - cutting edge bearing unit 3 - contact rocker 11 - switching contact 16 - switching contact 19 - terminal 20.
  • the first position shown is stable, ie the position shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to the permanent position of the button.
  • FIG. 9 shows a schematic diagram of the second scanning position of a combined rocker switch / rocker switch set to the "key operation" function.
  • pressure is exerted on the rocker switch 21, whereby the pin 23 engaging in the receiving fork 13 pivots the shift lever 15.
  • results between spring connection point 10 'and spring connection point 14, in turn, above the cutting edge 12 ( pivot point of the contact rocker 11 on the cutting edge bearing) extending spring line of action 27.
  • the second position shown is not stable , d. H. the shift lever 15 pivots back into the stable first position shown in FIG. 8, as soon as no pressure is exerted on the rocker 21.
  • FIG. 10 shows a schematic diagram for a summary explanation of the possible switching positions and probe positions.
