Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electronic display device with a manually operated program input and / or switching device for Switching and / or control devices, in particular for room thermostat clocks, with the features according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • buttons are due to the cramped spatial dimensions the front of the device, with an extremely small operating or manual exposure surface, but also the optoelectronic Display display is, due to the limited space, can only be formed relatively small on the front of the device arranged.
  • This device does have a relatively large display device with relatively large and clear keypads, the one ensure safe manual operation of these buttons.
  • the invention has for its object a display, program input and / or switching device for devices of the type mentioned create, in which the disadvantages of the known devices are eliminated and their display and keypad are not only the largest possible trained, but can also be optimally integrated into a device design and technically rational and economical to manufacture and the respective Device requirements and design can be optimally adapted.
  • this new display device with integrated program input and / or switching or regulating device in particular for use in a room thermostat clock is not just the electric or Functional combination of an optoelectronic, in particular LCD display device, with a relative large and clear, manually loadable program input and / or switching or regulating device in which the display device, however, at least one of the display or front of the display device covering, clear mask, for actuation at least one, especially in the back area, especially in the edge area the display device, provided electrical and / or electronic Contact device, tiltable by a relatively small angle of inclination and, conveniently gimbaled, manually directed beatable, function-specific to operate, but also that this new device, in particular constructed as a modular unit, is technically relatively simple, rational and economical to manufacture.
  • the new display device or the display device mask covering on the front by one on all sides certain, relatively small angle tilted
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 in particular modular, Display, program input or switching and / or control device essentially from a display device 1, in particular from an LCD display that is movable, in particular about a central axis 2, and expediently mounted on all four sides 3, tiltable is.
  • a suitable tiltable bearing 4 for the display device 1 a universal joint bearing is provided in the area of axis 2.
  • electromechanical contact devices which, according to the Invention, by the manually directed function-conforming button-like Actuation of the display device 1 can be operated in accordance with the function are.
  • electromechanical contact devices 5 instead of electromechanical contact devices 5, if necessary, contactless electronic sensors are also provided, by the directional tilting of the display device 1, are switchable or controllable like buttons.
  • the display device 1 is expediently together with the contact devices 5 and / or corresponding electromechanical or electronic, not shown here, in particular working analog, Modular controllers, in a suitable board 6 or a corresponding housing, installed functionally, arranged and stored.
  • the display device 1 is immobile is stored, and that front, above the display device 1 a crystal-clear mask 7 is provided, which is used for manual exposure, for manually directed actuation of the contact devices 5, in particular tiltable, arranged and mounted.
  • FIG. 3 shows a circular display device 1, the for manually actuated actuation of the contact devices 5 or Similar control devices, in particular concentric to axis 2, cardan joint-like, is tiltable to the circumference 20, arranged and stored.
  • the intended optoelectronic Display device can have a different cross section than that in 3 is a circular display device 1.
  • the optoelectronic display on the front with a clear mask 7 is covered.
  • the display can be arranged immovably under the mask 7.
  • FIG. 6 shows a room thermostat clock in a surface-mounted housing 13. 1 describes the generous, relatively large area and thus clear trained, display device for program input and / or control according to the invention, corresponding to the functionally conforming arrow-shaped, operator-leading imprints 12, can be acted upon manually. This makes it possible there, provided accordingly, not more closely here shown, contact devices for temperature and / or time setting or time switch preselection.
  • a room thermostat clock for flush mounting can be seen with a front housing panel 15 and a new one Display device 1 with spatially function-integrated program input and / or control device, the keyboard-like front 8, for Entry of switching and / or control data, in the respective arrow direction, according to the operator's imprints 12, manually relative is large and easy to operate.
  • the modular display device 1 designed and arranged extractable from the housing panel 15.
  • 18 denotes there provided on the upper side 17 of the device Buttons and / or setting controls, for presetting the room thermostat clock.
  • the new, in particular modular constructed, display device 1 with integrated program input and / or control device not only advantageous in the devices mentioned above can be used, but also wherever relatively small spatial dimensions of the front or operating side of a device, for example with car radios, hi-fi devices and / or with stationary ones and / or mobile two-way radios, so-called cell phones, the largest possible Display display and largest possible, manually safe and convenient accessible keypads are required.
  • the new device 1 is therefore advantageous in terms of space separate display and keyboard arrangements, without Limitation of display and program input, functionally full replaceable. It is sensible possible with the new device not just a certain function on a display select and / or program or set certain parameters, or to move a cursor, but with the new device is also an immediate and clear user interface on the front of the display ensured.
