Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an operating device for electronic switching devices with an interchangeable front film.
  • actuating elements usually consist of several switches, in particular of signal or cross switches, or of different buttons, such as Signal buttons.
  • the assemblies include power relays, solenoid valves, pumps, motors and the like, which are actuated accordingly by the individual switches and buttons and perform their specified function.
  • the actuating elements are fixedly mounted on a front plate of a machine housing, so that a user-specific arrangement or rearrangement of the actuating elements is impossible or very complex.
  • the latter is particularly disadvantageous since there is a need in the modern work area to arrange the actuating elements in accordance with ergonomic or occupational medicine criteria in order to enable the user to select the configuration which is most favorable and most individual for him.
  • a user-specific arrangement also enables faster reaction and a more user-friendly way of working.
  • From DE 40 13 321 A1 is a to a base plate Display control device attachable, interchangeable decorative film known.
  • the decorative film is provided with partially transparent areas to make the display and operating components embedded in the base plate visible.
  • a control device for a hi-fi and / or stereo system is known from DE 91 10 705.9 U1, which uses a liquid crystal display to display information about selected devices in the system. Furthermore, the known system has an operating device which allows the input of user-specific functions by means of operating buttons or operating sensors.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an operating device while avoiding the aforementioned disadvantages, the actuating elements of which can be arranged in such a way that these elements meet the requirements of the respective user, while at the same time maintaining the functional properties on which they are based.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an operating device for electronic switching devices which is designed in such a way that each individual actuating element activates different assemblies for specific users and can thus perform different actuating functions.
  • the interface preferably consists of intelligent control electronics.
  • Another particular object of the invention is to provide an interchangeable front film which is easy to attach to the operating device, which is labeled in accordance with the mode of operation of each actuating element and which transmits this mode of operation to the intelligent control electronics.
  • a front panel which is identified by the reference number 1.
  • the front plate 1 which is preferably made of steel, is attached in a known manner to a device or machine, not shown.
  • a front plate 2 is mounted at a certain distance from the front plate 1.
  • Conventional fasteners are used for assembly. It should only be noted that it is imperative that the front panel has a flat surface on the outside. Therefore it is e.g. It makes sense to use 2 countersunk screws on the outer side of the front plate 1 facing the user to mount the front plate 1 on the front plate.
  • depressions 7 are provided on this side. Spacers 3 or similar spacers can be used to space the front board 2 from the hard disk 1.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a plurality of actuation elements, consisting of pushbuttons 4, a cross switch 5 and a control resistor 6.
  • the actuation elements are preferably equipped with a backlight which is activated when they are activated .
  • All actuators are arranged on the front board 2 on the side facing the user.
  • a reflex coupler 8 is also attached to the side accessible to the user.
  • recesses 4 ', 5' and 6 ' are provided in the front panel 1.
  • the pushbuttons 4 and the reflex coupler 8 are designed such that they are essentially flush with the front edge of the front plate 1. This can be done either by selecting suitable spacer bolts or by selecting suitable actuating elements.
  • the control resistor 6 and the cross switch 5 protrude through the recesses 6 'and 5'.
  • Programmable control electronics 9 are also attached to the front board 2 and are described in detail below.
  • Both the reflex coupler and the actuating elements are electrically connected to the control electronics via conductor tracks (not shown) on the front board. Further electrical connections lead from the control electronics to the assemblies to be actuated.
  • the reflex coupler 8 has a transmitting or receiving device, which preferably consist of one or more reflective light barriers 11, which can be operated with direct as well as alternating light.
  • Each individual light barrier 11 has a light source 12, consisting, for example, of a GaAs diode and a receiver 13, consisting, for example, of a Si photodiode.
  • a 5-bit optical recognition system is used, which offers 32 coding possibilities, the individual light barriers 11 being arranged adjacent to one another. For security reasons, two codes, namely "O" (binary 00000) and "31" (binary 11111) are not permitted.
  • FIG. 3 a front view of an interchangeable front film 10 that can be attached to the front plate 1 is shown.
  • the interchangeable front film 10 can be fastened to the front plate 1 in various ways, for example by means of a sliding slot, contact adhesive, electrostatic tightening or by means of a vacuum.
  • an interchangeable front film 10 consisting of a magnetic film with a glued-on decorative film is used, which adheres to the magnetically conductive material of the front plate 1.
  • the generally opaque interchangeable front film 10 has transparent or cut-out areas corresponding to the actuating elements.
  • FIG. 3 shows a number of transparent areas 4 ′′ corresponding to the push buttons 4 shown in FIG. 2.
  • the areas 4 ′′ consist of elastic material which allows the pushbuttons 4 to be actuated, the flexibility of which is coordinated with the stroke of the individual pushbuttons.
  • actuating elements that are offset from the front plate 1, such as the cross switch 5 and the variable resistor 6, corresponding openings 5 ′′ and 6 ′′ are provided on the interchangeable front film 10.
  • the interchangeable front film 10 is aligned with the front plate 1 such that the transparent and the recessed areas correspond exactly to the actuating elements.
  • coding strips (not shown) are provided, which are arranged such that they lie above the reflective light barriers 11 of the reflex coupler 8. Each coding of the coding strip corresponds to a specific arrangement and assignment of the actuating elements.
  • the front facing the user is opaque.
  • the control electronics 9 form an interface between the actuating elements and the assemblies. Each actuating element is connected to the control electronics via lines that are present in the front board 2. Electrical lines, not shown, also lead from the control electronics to the respective assemblies.
  • the reflex coupler 8 is also with the control electronics 9 for transmitting the detected coding electrically connected.
  • the core of the control electronics is a microprocessor of known type, which simultaneously contains all the desired switching programs and, depending on the coding detected, activates the desired program.
  • the corresponding switching programs can be transferred from a programming device to a programmable module located in the processor.
  • PROMs, EPROMs or EEPROMs can be used as programmable modules.
  • the arrangement according to the invention works as follows: When the interchangeable front film 10 is placed on the flat side of the front plate 1 facing the user, the coding of the coding strips is read in by the reflex coupler 8. Attention must be paid to this. that the coding strips lie exactly on the individual reflex barriers 11 of the reflex coupler 8. Alignment means can be provided for this purpose.
  • the read-in codes are transmitted to the control electronics 9 and activate a corresponding switching program. According to the selected switching program, a corresponding module is then activated when an actuating element is actuated.
  • the controller 9 thus functions as an electronic switch which allows a specific electrical path from an actuating element to an assembly to be created flexibly, depending on the current switching program, and to address different assemblies with the same actuating element, depending on the switching program.
  • the invention can be modified in many ways without thereby going beyond its scope.
  • the number and types of actuators may differ from those shown in the figures.
  • the design of the interchangeable front film can be adapted accordingly.
