Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Kartenschalter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 sowie die Verwendung eines an sich herkömmlichen Wippschalters gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 10, wie er aus der Gebäudesystemtechnik beispielsweise als Lichtschalter grundsätzlich bekannt ist.The present invention relates to a card switch according to the preamble of claim 1 and the use of a conventional rocker switch according to the preamble of claim 10, as it is basically known from the building system technology, for example, as a light switch.

Die gattungsgemäße Verwendung eines Wippschalters als Schaltmodul für einen Kartenschalter ist grundsätzlich bekannt und wird beispielsweise in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschrieben. Diese Druckschrift beschreibt einen gattungsgemäßen Schlüsselkartenschalter, bei dem ein an und für sich bekannter Wippschalter als Schaltmodul zum Einsatz kommt. Derartige Schlüsselkartenschalter finden insbesondere im Hotelgewerbe als Hauptstromschalter Anwendung, um damit mehrere in einem Zimmer befindliche elektrische Verbraucher auf einmal ein- und ausschalten zu können. Hierzu muss nach dem Betreten des Zimmers eine Schlüsselkarte in den Schlüsselkartenschalter gesteckt werden, wodurch die angeschlossenen elektrischen Verbraucher eingeschaltet werden. Die Schlüsselkarte verbleibt normalerweise im Kartenschalter, bis das Zimmer wieder verlassen wird. Durch das Entfernen der Schlüsselkarte aus dem Kartenschalter werden dann die daran angeschlossenen elektrischen Verbraucher wieder ausgeschaltet.The generic use of a rocker switch as a switching module for a card switch is basically known and is used for example in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described. This document describes a generic key card switch, in which a known per se rocker switch as a switching module is used. Such key card switches are used in particular in the hotel industry as a main power switch application, so as to be able to turn on and off several electrical consumers located in one room at a time. For this, a key card must be inserted into the key card switch after entering the room, whereby the connected electrical consumers are turned on. The key card normally remains in the card counter until the room is left. By removing the key card from the card switch, the electrical consumers connected to it are then switched off again.

Häufig sind solche Karten- bzw. Schlüsselkarten mit empfindlichen Oberflächen wie beispielsweise Aufdrucken und/oder empfindlichen Funktionselementen wie beispielsweise Magnetstreifen versehen, die durch das häufige Einführen und Herausziehen in bzw. aus dem Kartenschalter beschädigt werden können. So gleitet beispielsweise bei dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Schlüsselkartenschalter die Schlüsselkarte während des Einführens in den Kartenschalter an dessen Schalthebel entlang, wodurch nicht nur die Oberfläche der Schlüsselkarte mit der Zeit unansehnlich wird sondern vielmehr auch die Funktionselemente der Schlüsselkarte beschädigt werden können. Hinzu kommt, dass bei diesem Schlüsselkartenschalter die Schlüsselkarte durch den Schalthebel derart belastet wird, dass die Schlüsselkarte leicht verbogen wird, was ebenfalls zu einer Beschädigung der Funktionselemente der Schlüsselkarte führen kann.Often, such card or key cards with sensitive surfaces such as imprints and / or sensitive functional elements such as magnetic strips provided, which can be damaged by the frequent insertion and withdrawal in and out of the ticket counter. For example, in the slides in the DE 44 46 790 A1 key card switch described the key card during insertion into the card switch along the lever, which not only the surface of the key card with time is unsightly but also the functional elements of the key card can be damaged. In addition, in this key card switch, the key card is loaded by the shift lever so that the key card is slightly bent, which can also lead to damage to the functional elements of the key card.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ausgehend von dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter zumindest eine Realisierung anzugeben, mit der sich die mechanischen Beanspruchungen der Schlüsselkarte während des Einführens und Herausziehens aus dem Kartenschalter reduzieren lassen.The invention is therefore based on the object, starting from the in the DE 44 46 790 A1 map switch described at least provide a realization with which can reduce the mechanical stresses of the key card during insertion and withdrawal from the ticket counter.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß einem Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung mit einem Kartenschalter gelöst, der die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist.This object is achieved according to one aspect of the present invention with a ticket counter having the features of claim 1.

Gemäß einem anderen Aspekt der Erfindung wird die derselben zugrunde liegende Aufgabe auch durch die Verwendung eines Wippschalters gemäß Anspruch 10 gelöst.According to another aspect of the invention, the object underlying the same is also achieved by the use of a rocker switch according to claim 10.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Kartenschalter ist die Schaltwippe in ihrer AUS-Stellung derart orientiert, dass ein oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse gelegener Abschnitt der Schaltwippe in der AUS-Stellung einen Überhang in Bezug auf den unterhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse gelegenen Abschnitt der Schaltwippe bildet. Der Schalthebel ist dabei oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse an der Betätigungsbaugruppe befestigt und berührt die Schaltwippe zumindest in ihrer AUS-Stellung oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse an deren oberen Abschnitt.In the map switch according to the invention, the rocker switch is oriented in its OFF position such that a portion of the rocker switch located above the first horizontal axis in the OFF position has an overhang with respect to the below the first horizontal axis Section of the rocker switch forms. The shift lever is mounted above the first horizontal axis of the actuator assembly and contacts the rocker switch at least in its OFF position above the first horizontal axis at the upper portion.

Erfindungsgemäß wird somit gewissermaßen erstmals vorgeschlagen, den Wippschalter eines Kartenschalters gegenüber der aus der DE 44 46 790 A1 bekannten Orientierung um 180° gedreht als Schaltmodul für einen Kartenschalter zu verwenden, wodurch der in der AUS-Stellung einen Überhang bildende Abschnitt der Schaltwippe in der Einbauposition des Kartenschalters sich näher am Einführschlitz für die Karte des Kartenschalters befindet, als der unterhalb der horizontalen Kippachse gelegene Abschnitt der Schaltwippe.Thus, according to the invention, it is proposed to some extent for the first time, the rocker switch of a card switch over from the DE 44 46 790 A1 turned orientation rotated by 180 ° to use as a switching module for a card switch, whereby the overhanging in the OFF position portion of the rocker switch in the installation position of the card switch is closer to the insertion slot for the card switch card than located below the horizontal tilt axis Section of the rocker switch.

Sofern hier davon die Rede ist, dass der oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse gelegene Abschnitt der Schaltwippe in deren AUS-Stellung einen Überhang in Bezug auf den unterhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse gelegenen Abschnitt der Schaltwippe bildet, so ist hierbei der Begriff "Überhang" in dem Sinne zu verstehen, wie er zur Kennzeichnung einer Felsformation verwendet wird, die sich dadurch auszeichnet, dass sie eine Steigung von mehr als 90° besitzt, was bedeutet, dass die Felswand steiler als vertikal ist. Dementsprechend beziehen sich auch die hier verwendeten Formulierungen "oben" oder "oberer Abschnitt" bzw. "unten" oder "unterer Abschnitt" odgl. auf die normale Einbauposition derartiger Kartenschalter, bei der die Karte derart in den Kartenschalter eingesteckt wird, dass sie nicht schwerkraftbedingt aus dem Kartenschalter herausfallen kann.If it is mentioned here that the located above the first horizontal axis portion of the rocker switch in its OFF position forms an overhang with respect to the located below the first horizontal axis portion of the rocker switch, so here is the term "overhang" in the Meaning as used to characterize a rock formation characterized by having a slope of more than 90 °, which means that the rock face is steeper than vertical. Accordingly, the formulations used herein also refer to "top" or "top section" or "bottom" or "bottom section" or the like. to the normal installation position of such card switch, in which the card is inserted into the card switch so that they can not fall out of the card switch due to gravity.

Dadurch, dass der Schalthebel oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse an der Betätigungsbaugruppe befestigt ist und die Schaltwippe in ihrer AUS-Stellung oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse bzw. deren Kippachse berührt, gelingt es ohne weiteres, den Schalthebel in seiner unbetätigten Stellung, die mit der AUS-Stellung der Schaltwippe korrespondiert, derart zu orientieren, dass die Schlüsselkarte beim Einführen in den Kartenschalter unter einem spitzen Winkel auf den Schalthebel trifft, ohne dass hierzu der Schalthebel an seinem freien Ende abgewinkelt werden muss, wie dies bei dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter erforderlich ist. Vielmehr gelingt es dadurch, dass sich sowohl der Einführschlitz, der in der Abdeckkappe des Kartenschalters zum Einstecken der Karte in den Kartenschalter ausgebildet ist, als auch die Befestigungsstelle, an der der Schalthebel an der Betätigungsbaugruppe befestigt ist, oberhalb der Kippachse der Schaltwippe bzw. auf der gleichen Seite der Schaltwippe relativ zur Kippachse befinden, dass die Schlüsselkarte beim Einstecken in den Kartenschalter nur mit ihrer Vorderkante unter einem spitzen Winkel auf den Schalthebel trifft, ohne dass dabei die Schlüsselkarte mit ihrer Oberfläche mit dem Schalthebel in Anlage gelangt.Characterized in that the shift lever is mounted above the first horizontal axis of the actuator assembly and the rocker switch in its OFF position above the first horizontal axis or its tilt axis touched, it is possible without further ado, the shift lever in its unactuated position, which corresponds to the OFF position of the rocker switch to orient such that the key card when inserted into the card switch at an acute angle to the shift lever meets, without this the shift lever must be angled at its free end, as in the in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described map switch is required. Rather, it succeeds in that both the insertion slot, which is formed in the cap of the card switch for inserting the card in the card switch, as well as the attachment point at which the shift lever is attached to the actuator assembly, above the tilt axis of the rocker switch or on the same side of the rocker switch are relative to the tilt axis that the key card when plugged into the card switch meets only with its leading edge at an acute angle to the shift lever, without causing the key card with its surface with the shift lever comes into contact.

Beim Einführen und Herausziehen einer Schlüsselkarte wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Kartenschalters somit lediglich die Vorderkante der Schlüsselkarte mechanischen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt, so dass auf der Oberfläche der Karte vorgesehene Funktionselemente in der gewünschten Weise zugunsten der Erhöhung der Lebensdauer der zum Einsatz kommenden Karten nicht beschädigt werden.When inserting and removing a key card is thus exposed by the inventive design of the card switch only the leading edge of the key card mechanical stresses, so that provided on the surface of the card functional elements in the desired manner in favor of increasing the life of the cards used for use are not damaged.

Dadurch, dass sich der Einführschlitz und die Stelle, an der der Schalthebel an der Betätigungsbaugruppe angelenkt ist, oberhalb der Kippachse der Schaltwippe bzw. auf derselben Seite in Bezug auf die Kippachse der Schaltwippe befinden, nähert sich die Vorderkante der Schlüsselkarte während des Einsteckens in den Kartenschalter zunehmend dem freien Ende des Schalthebels, so dass dieser keinen Druckbelastungen ausgesetzt wird. Demgegenüber trifft bei dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter das vordere Ende der Schlüsselkarte im Bereich des freien Endes des Schalthebels auf denselben auf, wodurch dieser unter anderem mit Druckkräften belastet wird, was insbesondere dann zum Abknicken des Schalthebels führen kann, wenn die Schlüsselkarte etwas schief in den Kartenschalter eingeschoben wird. Eine derartige Abknickgefahr ist demgegenüber bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Kartenschalter nicht gegeben, da dort der Schalthebel infolge der Tatsache, dass sich sowohl der Einführschlitz als auch die Stelle, an der der Schalthebel an der Betätigungsbaugruppe angelenkt ist, auf ein- und derselben Seite der Schaltwippe befinden.Characterized in that the insertion slot and the point at which the shift lever is articulated on the actuating assembly, above the tilt axis of the rocker switch or on the same side with respect to the tilt axis of the rocker switch, the leading edge of the key card approaches during insertion into the Card switch increasingly the free end of the shift lever so that it is not exposed to pressure loads. In contrast, in the meets in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described Card switch the front end of the key card in the region of the free end of the shift lever on the same, whereby this is loaded, inter alia, with compressive forces, which can lead to kinking of the shift lever, in particular, when the key card is slightly wrong inserted into the card switch. Such Abknickgefahr is not given in contrast to the card switch according to the invention, since there the shift lever due to the fact that both the insertion slot and the point at which the lever is hinged to the actuator assembly, on one and the same side of the rocker switch.

Darüber hinaus hat die erfindungsgemäße Orientierung des Schalthebels, derzufolge sich die Vorderkante der Schlüsselkarte während des Einsteckens in den Kartenschalter zunehmend dem freien Ende des Schalthebels nähert, zur Folge, dass dadurch während des Einsteckens der Schlüsselkarte in den Kartenschalter zwangsweise der Schalthebel zunehmend ausgelenkt wird. Im Unterschied dazu ist es zu diesem Zweck bei dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter erforderlich, das freie Ende des Schalthebels abzuwinkeln, damit die Karte unter einem spitzen Winkel auf den Schalthebel trifft, um so während des Einschiebens der Karte in den Kartenschalter eine zunehmende Schalthebelauslenkung sicherstellen zu können.In addition, the inventive orientation of the shift lever, according to which the leading edge of the key card increasingly approaches the free end of the shift lever during insertion into the card switch, the result that during the insertion of the key card in the card switch forcibly the shift lever is increasingly deflected. In contrast, it is for this purpose in the in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described map switch required to angle the free end of the lever so that the card meets at an acute angle to the shift lever, so as to ensure during the insertion of the card in the card switch an increasing Schalthebelauslenkung.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen des erfindungsgemäßen Kartenschalters ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung, den Zeichnungen sowie den abhängigen Ansprüchen.Preferred embodiments of the card switch according to the invention will become apparent from the description, the drawings and the dependent claims.

So ist es gemäß einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass der Schalthebel um eine zweite horizontale Achse kippbar an der Betätigungsbaugruppe angelenkt ist, was bedeutet, dass eine definierte Drehachse existiert, um die sich der Schalthebel als Ganzes drehen kann. Anders als bei dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter, wird der Schalthebel somit keinen Biegebeanspruchungen ausgesetzt, wenn er durch eine Schlüsselkarte in seine Betätigungsstellung ausgelenkt wird. Durch die gelenkige Anbringung des Schalthebels an der Betätigungsbaugruppe kann somit die Gefahr, dass der Schalthebel infolge von Biegebeanspruchungen bricht, reduziert werden.Thus, according to one embodiment, it is provided that the shift lever is tiltably coupled about a second horizontal axis to the actuation assembly, which means that a defined rotation axis exists to which the gear lever can rotate as a whole. Unlike the one in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described ticket switch, the shift lever is thus exposed to no bending stresses when it is deflected by a key card in its operating position. By the articulated mounting of the shift lever to the actuator assembly thus the risk that the shift lever breaks due to bending stresses can be reduced.

Durch die gelenkige Anbringung des Schalthebels an der Betätigungsbaugruppe kann jedoch nicht nur die Bruchgefahr des Schalthebels reduziert werden; vielmehr gelingt es durch die gelenkige Anbringung des Schalthebels an der Betätigungsbaugruppe auch die Beschädigungsgefahr infolge mechanischer Beanspruchungen für die Schlüsselkarte zu reduzieren. So ist es nämlich gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform vorgesehen, dass nur die Schaltwippe in Richtung ihrer AUS-Stellung durch eine Feder vorbelastet ist, wohingegen der Schalthebel ausschließlich infolge der Berührung der Schaltwippe durch deren Feder in seine unbetätigte Stellung vorgespannt ist und somit keine eigene Feder benötigt. Beim Einstecken einer Schlüsselkarte in den erfindungsgemäßen Kartenschalter muss somit lediglich die Vorspannkraft der Feder der Schaltwippe überwunden werden, wodurch gegenüber dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter geringere mechanische Beanspruchungen auf die Schlüsselkarte einwirken, da dort nicht nur die Rückstellkraft der Feder der Schaltwippe sondern zusätzlich die Kraft überwunden werden muss, welche durch den elastischen Schalthebel selbst auf die Schlüsselkarte einwirken.However, not only the risk of breakage of the shift lever can be reduced by the articulated mounting of the shift lever to the actuator assembly; rather, it is possible to reduce the risk of damage due to mechanical stresses on the key card by the articulated attachment of the shift lever to the actuator assembly. Thus, it is provided according to a further embodiment that only the rocker switch is biased in the direction of its OFF position by a spring, whereas the shift lever is biased exclusively by virtue of the contact of the rocker switch by the spring in its unactuated position and thus does not require its own spring , When inserting a key card in the card switch according to the invention thus only the biasing force of the spring of the switching rocker must be overcome, which compared to the in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described card switch lower mechanical stresses acting on the key card, since there not only the restoring force of the spring of the rocker switch but also the force must be overcome, which act by the elastic shift lever itself on the key card.

Gemäß noch einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann die Betätigungsbaugruppe einen entgegen einer Karteneinsteckrichtung ansteigenden Rampenabschnitt aufweisen, welcher derart positioniert und ausgerichtet ist, dass eine darauf in Karteneinsteckrichtung aufreitende Schlüsselkarte den Schalthebel in seine Betätigungsstellung auslenkt. Hierbei kann es sich als vorteilhaft erweisen, wenn das freie Ende des Schalthebels mit dem Rampenabschnitt kämmt bzw. mit diesem verzahnt ist, was bedeutet, dass der Rampenabschnitt und/oder das freie Ende des Schalthebels ein Zahnprofil aufweist, um mit dem jeweils anderen Verzahnungspartner kämmend in Eingriff zu stehen. Hierdurch kann der Auslenkwinkel des Betätigungshebels zwischen seiner betätigten Stellung und seiner unbetätigten Stellung vergrößert werden, wodurch sehr zuverlässig der Schaltpunkt der Schaltwippe, welcher zwischen der EIN- und der AUS-Stellung der Schaltwippe liegt, zuverlässig überwunden werden kann, sodass eine dauerhaft zuverlässige Funktionsweise des erfindungsgemäßen Kartenschalters sichergestellt ist.According to yet another embodiment, the actuation assembly may include a ramp portion rising counter to a card insertion direction, which is positioned and aligned such that in that a key card which rides on in the card insertion direction deflects the shift lever into its actuated position. It may prove to be advantageous if the free end of the shift lever meshes with the ramp section or is toothed with this, which means that the ramp section and / or the free end of the shift lever has a tooth profile to mesh with the respective other toothing partner to be engaged. As a result, the deflection angle of the actuating lever between its actuated position and its unactuated position can be increased, whereby the switching point of the rocker switch, which lies between the ON and OFF position of the rocker switch, can be reliably overcome, so that a permanently reliable operation of the inventive card switch is ensured.

Darüber hinaus erweist sich die in Rede stehende Verzahnung dahingehend als vorteilhaft, das dadurch sicher gestellt werden kann, dass sich die Vorderkante der Karte während des Einsteckens in den Kartenschalter stets in dem Schnittpunkt befindet, an dem der Schalterhebel im Querschnitt betrachtet den Rampenabschnitt schneidet. Hierdurch wird verhindert, dass die dem Schalthebel zugewandte Oberseite der Karte an dem Schalthebel entlang reibt, wodurch andernfalls - wie bei dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter - dort befindliche Funktionselemente beschädigt werden können.Moreover, the gearing in question proves to be advantageous in that it can be ensured by the fact that the front edge of the card is always in the intersection at the insertion into the card switch, at which the switch lever cross section crosses the ramp section. This prevents that the shift lever facing the top of the card rubs along the shift lever, which otherwise - as in the in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described map switch - located there functional elements can be damaged.

Zwar ist es anders als bei dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter nicht unbedingt erforderlich, das freie Ende des Schalthebels abgewinkelt auszubilden. Es kann sich jedoch als vorteilhaft erweisen, das freie Ende des Schalthebels derart abzuwinkeln, dass es in der betätigten Stellung des Schalthebels zu dem Rampenabschnitt der Betätigungsbaugruppe parallel ist, da hierdurch eine gleichmäßige Flächenpressung erreicht werden kann, welche von dem Schalthebel infolge dessen Vorspannung durch den Wipptaster auf die Schlüsselkarte ausgeübt wird. Die von dem Schalthebel auf die Schlüsselkarte ausgeübte Kraft verteilt sich somit gleichmäßiger auf die Schlüsselkarte, wodurch diese nochmals geringeren mechanischen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt wird.Although it is different than the one in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described map switch not necessarily required to form the free end of the shift lever angled. However, it may prove advantageous to angle the free end of the shift lever so that it is parallel to the ramp portion of the actuator assembly in the actuated position of the shift lever, as a result, a uniform surface pressure can be achieved, which is exerted by the shift lever as a result of its bias by the rocker switch on the key card. The force exerted by the shift lever on the key card force is thus distributed more evenly on the key card, which is exposed to even lower mechanical stresses.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist es vorgesehen, dass die Betätigungsbaugruppe am Wippschalter, insbesondere an dessen Tragring lösbar, beispielsweise durch eine Schraub- oder Schnappbefestigung, befestigt ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass als Schaltmodul für den Kartenschalter handelsübliche Wippschalter bzw. Wipptaster, also durch eine Feder vorbelastete Wippschalter, zum Einsatz kommen können. Bei der Betätigungsbaugruppe handelt es sich somit um einen Schalthebelaufsatz, der sich auf den Wippschalter aufsetzen lässt, wodurch der Wippschalter zum gewissermaßen zum Kartenschalter wird.According to a further embodiment, it is provided that the actuating assembly on the rocker switch, in particular on the support ring releasably, for example, by a screw or snap fastening, is attached. This makes it possible that as a switching module for the card switch commercial rocker switch or rocker switch, so biased by a spring rocker switch, can be used. The actuation assembly is thus a shift lever attachment which can be placed on the rocker switch, whereby the rocker switch to a certain extent to the card switch.

Die Modularität des Kartenschalters kann dadurch ergänzt werden, dass er über eine lösbar anbringbare Abdeckkappe verfügt, in der in der bereits zuvor erläuterten Weise ein Einführschlitz zum Einstecken einer Karte in den Kartenschalter vorgesehen ist. Die Abdeckkappe kann dabei entweder an der Betätigungsbaugruppe oder am Wippschalter unter Zwischenschaltung der Betätigungsbaugruppe und gegebenenfalls eines den Tragring des Wippschalters abdeckenden Rahmens lösbar durch eine Klemm- oder Schnappbefestigung angebracht werden.The modularity of the card switch can be supplemented by the fact that it has a releasably attachable cap in which an insertion slot for inserting a card is provided in the card switch in the manner already explained above. The cap can be attached either to the actuator assembly or on the rocker switch with the interposition of the actuator assembly and optionally a cover ring of the support ring of the rocker switch releasably secured by a clamping or snap fastening.

Im Folgenden wird nun der erfindungsgemäße Kartenschalter beispielhaft anhand einer exemplarischen Ausführungsform unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen beschrieben, wobei:

Wie am besten den Querschnittdarstellungen der Fig. 2 und 3 entnommen werden kann, setzt sich der Kartenschalter 10 gemäß der dargestellten beispielhaften Ausführungsform von rechts nach links betrachtet aus im Wesentlichen vier Komponenten zusammen, nämlich einem Wippschalter 12, einem Abdeckrahmen 13, einer Betätigungsbaugruppe 14 und einer Abdeckkappe 16.How best the cross-sectional views of FIGS. 2 and 3 can be removed, the card switch 10 is composed according to the illustrated exemplary embodiment from right to left from substantially four components together, namely a rocker switch 12, a cover frame 13, an actuating assembly 14 and a cap 16.

Bei dem Wippschalter 12 handelt es sich um einen handelsüblichen Wippschalter, wie er aus der Gebäudesystemtechnik hinlänglich bekannt ist. Der Wippschalter 12 weist einen Tragring 42 auf, mit dem sich der Wippschalter 12 in bekannter Weise in Unterputzausführung an einer Unterputzdose befestigen lässt. Der Tragring 42 trägt seinerseits einen Sockel 46, welcher zusätzlich zu hier nicht genauer dargestellten elektrischen Anschlüssen auf seiner Vorderseite eine Schaltwippe 18 trägt, welche sich um eine erste horizontale Achse 22 zwischen der in der Fig. 2 dargestellten AUS-Stellung und der in der Fig. 3 dargestellten EIN-Stellung verkippen lässt. Die Schaltwippe 18 wird durch eine Rückstellfeder 20 in ihre AUS-Stellung gedrängt, wozu sich die Rückstellfeder 20 oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse 22 einerseits an dem Sockel 46 und andererseits an der Rückseite der Schaltwippe 18 abstützt. Dadurch, dass die Schaltwippe 18 durch die Rückstellfeder 20 in ihre AUS-Stellung gedrängt wird, handelt es sich bei dem Wippschalter 12 genau genommen um einen Wipptaster.The rocker switch 12 is a commercially available rocker switch, as is well known from building system technology. The rocker switch 12 has a support ring 42, with which the rocker switch 12 can be fixed in a flush-mounted manner to a flush box in a known manner. The support ring 42 in turn carries a base 46, which in addition to not shown here in more detail electrical connections on its front a rocker 18 carries, which is about a first horizontal axis 22 between in the Fig. 2 shown OFF position and in the Fig. 3 tilted shown ON position. The rocker switch 18 is urged by a return spring 20 in its OFF position, including the return spring 20 above the first horizontal axis 22 on the one hand to the base 46 and on the other hand supported on the back of the rocker 18. Characterized in that the switching rocker 18 is urged by the return spring 20 in its OFF position, it is in the rocker switch 12 strictly speaking, a rocker switch.

Der Abdeckrahmen 13 überdeckt den Tragring 42 des Wippschalters 12 und wird durch die in den Abdeckrahmen 13 einpassbare Betätigungsbaugruppe 14 in Position gehalten, welche ihrerseits am Tragring 42 angeschraubt oder festgeklippst werden kann.The cover frame 13 covers the support ring 42 of the rocker switch 12 and is held in position by the insertable into the cover frame 13 actuating assembly 14, which in turn can be screwed or festgeklippst on the support ring 42.

Wie am besten der Fig. 1 entnommen werden kann, weist die Betätigungsbaugruppe 14 einen Trägerrahmen 15 auf, welcher einen einarmigen Schalthebel 26 trägt. Der Schalthebel 26 überdeckt dabei die Schaltwippe 18 des Wippschalters 12 und ist um eine zweite horizontale Achse 28 kippbar an der Betätigungsbaugruppe 14 bzw. an deren Trägerrahmen 15 angelenkt. Darüber hinaus trägt der Trägerrahmen 15 der Betätigungsbaugruppe 14 eine mit einem Einführschlitz 40 ausgebildete Abdeckkappe 16, welche mit Hilfe von Klemmstiften und/oder Rastzapfen 44 lösbar an dem Trägerrahmen 15 befestigt ist. Bei der Betätigungsbaugruppe 14 handelt es sich somit um einen auf den Wippschalter 12 aufsetzbaren Schalthebelaufsatz, mit dem sich der Wippschalter 12 zum Kartenschalter 10 umrüsten lässt.How best of all Fig. 1 can be removed, the actuating assembly 14 on a support frame 15, which carries a one-armed lever 26. The shift lever 26 covers the rocker switch 18 of the rocker switch 12 and is hinged about a second horizontal axis 28 tiltably on the actuator assembly 14 and on the support frame 15. In addition, the support frame 15 of the actuator assembly 14 carries a cap formed with an insertion slot 40 16 which is releasably secured by means of clamping pins and / or locking pin 44 on the support frame 15. The actuating assembly 14 is thus an attachable to the rocker switch 12 shift lever attachment with which the rocker switch 12 can be converted to the ticket switch 10.

Wie der Fig. 2 entnommen werden kann, ist die Schaltwippe 18 in ihrer AUS-Stellung derart orientiert, dass ihr oberhalb ihrer Kippachse 22 gelegener Abschnitt 30 einen Überhang in Bezug auf den unterhalb der Kippachse 22 gelegenen unteren Abschnitt 32 der Schaltwippe 18 bildet, so dass der Schalthebel 26, der oberhalb der Kippachse 22 um die zweite horizontale Achse 28 kippbar an dem Trägerrahmen 15 angelenkt ist, die Schaltwippe 18 in ihrer AUS-Stellung oberhalb ihrer Kippachse 22 an ihrem oberen Ende berührt.Again Fig. 2 can be removed, the rocker switch 18 is oriented in its OFF position such that its located above its tilting axis 22 portion 30 forms an overhang with respect to the located below the tilting axis 22 lower portion 32 of the rocker switch 18, so that the shift lever 26, the above the tilting axis 22 about the second horizontal axis 28 tiltably hinged to the support frame 15, the Switch rocker 18 is touched in its OFF position above its tilting axis 22 at its upper end.

Wenn ausgehend von dieser AUS-Stellung der Schaltwippe 18, welche der in der Fig. 2 dargestellten unbetätigten Stellung des Schalthebels 26 entspricht, eine Schlüsselkarte 24 durch den ebenfalls oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse 22 befindlichen Einführschlitz 40 in den Kartenschalter 10 eingeführt wird, so führt dies dazu, dass die Vorderkante der Schlüsselkarte 24 auf den Schalthebel 26 trifft, so dass dieser in die in der Fig. 3 dargestellte betätigte Stellung geschwenkt wird, welche der EINStellung der Schaltwippe 18 entspricht.If starting from this OFF position of the rocker switch 18, which in the Fig. 2 shown unactuated position of the shift lever 26 corresponds, a key card 24 is inserted through the also located above the first horizontal axis 22 insertion slot 40 in the card switch 10, this leads to the leading edge of the key card 24 strikes the shift lever 26 so that this in the in the Fig. 3 shown actuated position is pivoted, which corresponds to the ON position of the rocker switch 18.

Da der Schalthebel 26 oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse 22 an der Betätigungsbaugruppe 14 angelenkt ist, und auch der Einführschlitz 40 sich oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse 22 befindet, trifft die Vorderkante der Schlüsselkarte 24 unter einem spitzen Winkel auf den Schalthebel 26, ohne dass dieser hierzu an seinem vorderen Ende abgewinkelt sein muss, wie dies bei dem in der DE 44 46 790 A1 beschriebenen Kartenschalter der Fall ist.Since the shift lever 26 is articulated above the first horizontal axis 22 on the actuator assembly 14, and also the insertion slot 40 is located above the first horizontal axis 22, the leading edge of the key card 24 strikes the shift lever 26 at an acute angle, without this must be angled at its front end, as in the in the DE 44 46 790 A1 described ticket switch is the case.

Während des Einführens der Schlüsselkarte 24 gleitet diese ausschließlich mit ihrer Vorderkante auf der Oberfläche des Schalthebels 26 entlang, so dass die Schlüsselkarte 24 in der gewünschten Weise entlang ihrer Oberfläche keinerlei mechanische Beanspruchungen erfährt. Darüber hinaus wird die mechanische Beanspruchung der Schlüsselkarte 24 dadurch klein gehalten, dass der Schalthebel 26 ausschließlich durch die Rückstellfeder 20, die die Schaltwippe 18 in ihre AUS-Stellung drängt, in seine unbetätigte Stellung gemäß Fig. 2 vorgespannt wird.During insertion of the key card 24, this slides along only with its leading edge on the surface of the shift lever 26, so that the key card 24 in the desired manner along its surface experiences no mechanical stresses. In addition, the mechanical stress on the key card 24 is kept small in that the shift lever 26 only by the return spring 20, which urges the rocker switch 18 in its OFF position, according to its inoperative position Fig. 2 is biased.

Durch die oberhalb der ersten horizontalen Achse 22 befindliche Position sowohl des Einführschlitzes 40 als auch der zweiten horizontalen Achse 28 kann darüber hinaus die Beschädigungsgefahr des Schalthebels 26 durch die Schlüsselkarte 24 klein gehalten werden, da dieser beim Einstecken der Schlüsselkarte 24 keinerlei Druckbeanspruchungen ausgesetzt wird.By located above the first horizontal axis 22 position both of the insertion slot 40 and the second horizontal axis 28, the risk of damage of the lever 26 can be kept small by the key card 24, since this is exposed to the insertion of the key card 24 no pressure stresses.

Wie am besten der Fig. 1 entnommen werden kann, kämmt das freie Ende 36 des Schalthebels 26 mit einem Rampenabschnitt 34 der Betätigungsbaugruppe 14, welcher als Einführhilfe für die Schlüsselkarte 24 entgegen der Karteneinsteckrichtung A ansteigt. Hierzu weist das freie Ende 36 des Schalthebels 26 eine Ausnehmung 38 auf, die den Rampenabschnitt 34 aufnimmt. Hierdurch kann der Auslenkwinkel vergrößert werden, den der Schalthebel 26 zwischen seiner betätigten und seiner unbetätigten Stellung überstreicht, wodurch eine dauerhaft zuverlässige Betätigung der Schaltwippe 18 durch den Schalthebel 26 sichergestellt werden kann.How best of all Fig. 1 can be removed, the free end 36 of the shift lever 26 meshes with a ramp portion 34 of the actuator assembly 14, which rises as an insertion aid for the key card 24 against the Karteneinsteckrichtung A. For this purpose, the free end 36 of the shift lever 26 has a recess 38 which receives the ramp portion 34. As a result, the deflection angle can be increased, which covers the shift lever 26 between its actuated and its unactuated position, whereby a permanently reliable operation of the rocker switch 18 can be ensured by the shift lever 26.
