Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of domestic installation technology and relates to a domestic installation technology device, in particular a domestic installation technology device with a mounting insert which has a frame, a lighting insert and a central disk, as well as a rotary knob.
  • Devices used in home installation technology include rotary switches, room temperature controllers, volume controls and dimmers. These devices are usually flush-mounted devices that are installed in a wall of a house and are operated by rotating a rotary knob via a shaft protruding from a flush-mounted insert. If this device is a dimmer, for example, then in addition to rotating the rotary knob, an on and off process can be carried out by moving the rotary knob.
  • the domestic installation technology device according to the embodiments described here can be manufactured using a simple injection molding process.
  • the device described here can simplify the geometries to be produced in such a way that the injection molding tools can also have a simple and cost-effective structure. This reduces production costs and increases process efficiency.
  • the domestic installation technology device according to the embodiments described here can dispense with a two-component injection molding process. These process simplifications and reductions brought about by the device described here mean that the manufacture of a domestic installation technology device according to the embodiments described here can also be implemented for smaller quantities.
  • the device can be a light dimmer, a room temperature controller, rotary switch, and/or a volume controller.
  • the advantages of the device according to the invention come to the fore in particular.
  • the better visibility of these everyday objects due to the light-conducting element is accompanied by simplified assembly and thus also reduced costs. This is particularly beneficial to users who benefit from the reduced costs of a light dimmer, room temperature controller, rotary switch, and/or volume controller.
  • the light-conducting component and the light-tight component can be designed to be held together when inserted into one another by means of a locking mechanism, a plug connection and/or an anti-twist device in the light-tight component.
  • the locking mechanism, the plug connection and the anti-twist device form a reliable and robust way of fastening the light-conducting component in the light-tight component.
  • an anti-twist device can be designed by means of protrusions in one component (e.g. the light-conducting component) and depressions in another component (e.g. the light-tight component or in the mounting insert), or vice versa.
  • the anti-twist device can be designed in particular in such a way that the components of the rotary knob are prevented from moving relative to one another.
  • locking elements, pins, a locking device and/or other elements may be available, which can be attached in particular to the light-tight component, the light-conducting component, the mounting insert and/or other parts of the domestic installation technology device.
  • the rotary knob recess can be formed in the form of a slot that extends over part of the circumference of the rotary knob.
  • the rotary knob recess/slot can extend in segments over the circumference of the rotary knob.
  • the rotary knob recess can consist of two slots that extend almost semicircularly around the rotary knob circumference.
  • the rotary knob recess can be produced in a simple manner and is robust, not least due to the simple geometry.
  • the light-tight component has an upper part and a lower part.
  • the lower part is a part of the light-tight component that faces the mounting insert and/or the central disk.
  • the upper part of the light-tight component is typically a part that faces away from the mounting insert and/or the central disk.
  • the rotary knob recess can be arranged in the upper part of the light-tight component. Compared to existing devices in domestic installation technology, the position of the light-conducting component is thereby shifted from the lower part (in particular the lower edge) to the upper part (in particular the upper edge) of the rotary knob.
  • assembly can be simplified, since in particular assembly of the light-conducting components is possible in almost any orientation of the rotary knob.
