Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slide switch with the features of claims 1 and 9. It is shown a slide switch, which has a better power distribution. In addition, a slide switch is shown, which makes it easy to make the function variable in one of the end positions.
  • the slide switch consists of a fixed part and a part displaceable to the fixed part, wherein the displaceable part is displaceable in at least one plane to the fixed part.
  • slide switches comprising a slider with moving contacts and a base part or housing with stationary contacts.
  • a switching function when the movable contacts are connected to or disconnected from the stationary contacts, a switching function, a mode switching function, or other electrical function are performed.
  • a conventional slide switch for example, for use in a dictation machine, consists of two parts, a displaceable part, which is movably mounted, and a fixed part relative to the movable part, the so-called detent gate.
  • the movable part is moved over the detent gate; it can be moved over this.
  • the detent gate here has elevations and depressions over which the displaceable part slides.
  • the sliding part dives when moving over the detent gate in their wells.
  • the displaceable part has a resilient element which allows the slidable member to overcome the difference between ridges and depressions of the detent gate. If the displaceable part is positioned in the recess, electrical contact points of the displaceable part are connected to corresponding contact points. It is thus closed via these contact points when latched in the recess of the detent gate contact.
  • Out EP 1 126 482 B1 is a multidirectional slide switch known. This has a housing with a fixed contact part and a first sliding part and a second sliding part, which are arranged in a housing.
  • the first slide member is slidably connected to the second slide member so that movement may be made only in the direction of one of two intersecting axes relative to the second slide member, the second slide member being movably disposed in the direction of the other of the two axes with respect to the housing is.
  • the second sliding member is traceable by a return force of at least one return spring in a neutral position.
  • the first sliding part is equipped with a control knob and a movable contact part.
  • the first and second sliding parts are moved in the respective directions, the movable contact piece being brought into contact with the fixed contact piece and at least one of the additionally attached contact pieces depending on the direction in which the operation button is moved ,
  • the first slide member is brought into the neutral position with respect to the second slide member at least by the return force of at least one return spring installed on the second slide member.
  • Out DE 102 24 773 B4 is another slide switch known.
  • This slide switch comprises a base part, wherein two guide grooves of predetermined length parallel are arranged to each other on a surface.
  • the slider is mounted on the base part, the slider comprising a slide body on which two guide grooves of a predetermined length are formed in parallel to each other in the lower surface so as to be symmetrical to the center on the lower surface.
  • slide bridge formed of two lower and two upper bridge parts, the two lower bridge parts being slidably fitted along the two parallel guide grooves in the base part, and the two upper bridges slidably fitted along the two parallel guide grooves in the slide switch are.
  • the contact spring has contact spring parts, which constitute movable contacts and are arranged radially at the same or unequal angle to a spring plate of the contact spring.
  • the stationary and the movable contacts are arranged in the starting position so that they face each other.
  • a disadvantage of all these sliding switches is that they have a predetermined by the design locking behavior and a given operating hardness. A user is not able to adjust the latching behavior of the slide switch to his needs. The hardness or force to be used to move the slide switch from one detent point to the other, is not changeable. In addition, the operation of the known slide switch by design, a non-uniform force required, which often leads to tilting and felt jerky operation.
  • Object of the present invention is to show slide switches, which have a particularly good operability for a user.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a slide switch, which can be made variable in at least one of its end positions in a simple manner.

  • the sliding part is displaceable within the fixed element in a plane.
  • the sliding part has at least one further element, which is firmly connected to the sliding part.
  • at least one movably mounted plunger is arranged, which is arranged perpendicular to the displacement plane of the sliding part to the fixed element in the further element.
  • the plunger protrudes from the further element at least one side assigned to the fixed element out of the further element.
  • the fixed element has recesses which correspond to the protruding from the further element plunger, so that when moving of the sliding part in the fixed element of the plunger into one of the recesses and thus defines a locking point of the slide switch (1).
  • the further element is rectangular, square, oval, round or polygonal.
  • the sliding part with the further element and its at least one plunger and the fixed element with the recesses forms a detent gate.
  • the detent gate in the slide switch can be flexibly designed. It can be selected by the recesses and the or the plunger a defined locking as a switching point.
  • the shape of the slide and the depressions, the characteristic of the slide switch can be influenced.
  • the characteristic of the slide switch can also be influenced influenced by a skillful selection of materials.

Depending on the spring hardness, the detent points of the slide switch can be felt more or less for a user.
  • the spring stiffness of the springs can be changed via an adjusting unit on the slide switch so that a user can set the characteristics of the slide switch and its latching behavior to his needs.
  • the at least one plunger is mounted in the further element by means of a spring.
  • the spring is an annular spring, a coil spring or a leaf spring.
  • the further element has room for a plurality of plungers, which are mounted by means of spring and thereby the force distribution for latching of the further element in the fixed element on a (total) larger spring travel can take place.
  • the plunger consists of a head part and a stem part, wherein the head part has a rounding with a defined radius. Due to the possibility of designing the plunger, the characteristics of the slide switch can be influenced. So can be selected by a strong rounding a deep immersion of the plunger in a depression.
  • the plunger has a hammer-like shape or in the head part of a head-like shape with a ring broadening.
  • the hammer-like shape ensures that the plunger generates a uniform friction when moving the slider over the fixed element and thus the slide switch has a smooth sliding behavior. Due to the configuration of the plunger in the head part with a plug-head-like shape is achieved that the plunger well into the wells of the fixed element initiates and generates a defined detent point.
  • the ring widening prevents the ram from sliding out of the other element.
  • the ring broadening prevents the plunger from protruding too far through the opening in the further element.
  • the further element has openings into which a plunger is insertable, wherein the ring widening of the plunger is larger than the openings. It is also advantageous that the plunger is made of compressible material. As a result, a particularly good sliding behavior of the slide switch is generated.
  • the spring is arranged between the side walls of the further element, perpendicular to the plane of movement of the sliding part to the fixed element and the plunger with its stem part or the ring widening mechanically contacted the spring, so that the plunger with a defined force from the opening against the fixed element is pressed.
  • the slide switch according to claim 9 consists of a sliding member and a fixed element, wherein the sliding member is displaceable within the fixed element in a plane.
  • the slide switch has a variable end stop, wherein this is designed to be rotatable relative to the sliding part and has at least two shapes, which can be turned by turning the end stop of the sliding part.
