Definitions
- the invention relates to a switch combination of two electrical switches according to the preamble of the main claim.
- Such switch combinations which can block each other, are known for example from documents US 4,570,078 or US 3,908,108.
- a switch combination In particular for controlling a cruise control of a motorcycle, a switch combination is known, consisting of an electrical toggle switch which can be pivoted from a middle position into two toggle positions and automatically returns to the middle position, and a further electrical switch which can assume two different switch positions.
- Such a switch combination is used to control cruise control on motorcycles of the type Ultra Classic E-Glide from the manufacturer Harley-Davidson.
- the further switch is an on / off switch with two switch positions, for example a toggle switch. It is used to switch the cruise control function on and off.
- the electric toggle switch which can be swiveled from its middle position into two toggle positions and automatically returns to the middle position, is used to control the individual functions of the cruise control. If the electric toggle switch is in its middle position, the status quo is maintained.
- the vehicle When the cruise control is switched on via the further electrical switch, the vehicle is continuously accelerated by moving the electrical toggle switch from its central position into one end position, a speed value currently being driven as the setpoint speed, or by holding the switch in this end position for a longer time. Swiveling the electric toggle switch to the other end position continuously decelerates the vehicle or restores a stored target speed value, which has been deactivated for a certain time, for example by turning the throttle grip.
- the two switches for controlling the cruise control cannot be identified as a single unit, which is why the operation of the cruise control requires increased attention from the driver. For example, when operating the electrical toggle switch, it must be checked beforehand whether the other electrical switch is in the ON position.
- the object of the invention is to provide an electrical switch combination which is easy to use and in which the arrangement of the individual switches, their interaction and common function can be recognized immediately without further action.
- an electrical switch combination consisting of an electrical toggle switch which can be pivoted from a central position into two tilting positions and automatically returns to the central position, and from one Further electrical switch, which can assume at least two different switching positions, characterized in that the further electrical switch is a slide switch, the further actuating member of which is mutually dependent on the actuating member of the toggle switch, by the further actuating member of the sliding switch in at least one switching position of the actuating member of the Toggle switch mechanically blocked in its central position.
- the directions of movement of the actuating member and the further actuating member are perpendicular to one another and the further actuating member of the slide switch engages around the actuating member of the toggle switch in its middle position at least partially in a positive manner in one of two switching positions.
- This switch combination has been selected favorably, in particular for controlling a cruise control.
- the electrical slide switch blocks the toggle switch in one of its end positions, the slide switch being in its off position.
- the deactivated cruise control is immediately visually recognizable and at the same time its actuators are mechanically blocked.
- a control lamp is provided, which is covered by the further actuating member of the slide switch in one of its switching positions.
- a control lamp which indicates the switch-on state by means of lighting is advantageously placed in such a way that it is switched off by the slide switch is covered. This also makes it visually clear that the slide switch is off.
- a compact switching unit with control lamp is created, which can be attached very cheaply in the grip area of a motorcycle rider on the motorcycle handlebar.
- Each figure shows the respective switch combination in the two different switch positions on / off.
- Figures 1, 2 and 3 show an actuator 1 of an electric toggle switch which can be pivoted from a drawn center position into two tilt positions.
- the tilt directions are indicated in Figures 2 and 3 represented by the switch labels for the functions SET and RES, which are common when controlling a cruise control. If the actuator 1 of the toggle switch is briefly pivoted upwards in the direction of SET, a new speed setpoint is set. If the vehicle remains in this pivoted position for a longer period of time, it accelerates continuously up to a speed value which is stored when the actuating member 1 is released and therefore automatically returns to its central position.
- a stored speed setpoint is used, namely that which was set before the actuation of a brake or a throttle grip or a clutch of the motorcycle which switches off the cruise control function. If the actuator 1 is deflected for a longer period in the direction RES, the vehicle decelerates continuously to a speed setpoint which corresponds to the speed when the actuator 1 is released. The actuating member 1 is automatically returned to the center position shown.
- An indicator lamp 2 and the inscription ON indicate that the cruise control function is switched on.
- a slide switch as a further electrical switch, is moved from this position, in which the cruise control function is switched on, perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the actuating member 1 in its direction, then another actuating member 3 of the sliding switch with a recess 4 is pushed over a bulge 5 on the actuating member 1 of the electric toggle switch. As a result, the actuating member 1 is partially positively encompassed by the further actuating member 3.
- the actuator 1 of the electric toggle switch can no longer be deflected up or down, it is fixed in its central position.
- the control lamp 2 and the inscription ON are covered by the further actuator 3 of the slide switch.
- the inscription OFF from the other actuator 3 of the slide switch released. This is in its end position, in which the cruise control is switched off, that is, control of which is not possible. This is visually clear that the actuator 1 for the electric toggle switch is blocked by the other actuator 3 of the slide switch and is prevented from being deflected.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schalterkombination aus zwei elektrischen Schaltern nach dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruchs. Solche Schalterkombinationen, die sich gegen seitig blockieren können, sind z.B aus den Dokumenten US 4 570 078 oder US 3 908 108 bekannt.The invention relates to a switch combination of two electrical switches according to the preamble of the main claim. Such switch combinations, which can block each other, are known for example from documents US 4,570,078 or US 3,908,108.
Insbesondere zur Steuerung eines Tempomats eines Motorrads ist eine Schalterkombination bekannt, aus einem elektrischen Kippschalter, der aus einer Mittelstellung in zwei Kippstellungen verschwenkt werden kann und sich selbsttätig wieder in Mittelstellung zurückstellt und einem weiteren elektrischen Schalter, der zwei verschiedene Schaltstellungen einnehmen kann. Eine solche Schalterkombination wird zur Steuerung eines Tempomats an den Motorrädern des Typs Ultra Classic E-Glide des Herstellers Harley-Davidson verwendet. Der weitere Schalter ist ein Ein/Ausschalter mit zwei Schaltstellungen, zum Beispiel als Kippschalter ausgebildet. Er dient zum Ein- bzw. Ausschalten der Tempomatfunktion. Der elektrische Kippschalter, der aus seiner Mittelstellung in zwei Kippstellungen verschwenkt werden kann und sich selbsttätig wieder in die Mittelstellung zurückstellt dient dazu, die einzelnen Funktionen des Tempomats anzusteuern. Befindet sich der elektrische Kippschalter in seiner Mittelstellung, wird der Status quo beibehalten. Das heißt, es wird entweder eine bestimmte vorher eingestellte Geschwindigkeit gefahren oder der Tempomat ist außer Betrieb. Das letztere, wenn durch Betätigung des Gasdrehgriffs, der Bremse oder der Kupplung des Fahrzeugs die Tempomatfunktion ausgeschaltet wurde. Allerdings muß, um überhaupt einen dieser beiden Betriebszustände des Tempomaten zu erreichen, dieser am weiteren elektrischen Schalter durch Einschalten in Betrieb gesetzt worden sein. Steht der weitere elektrische Schalter auf Aus, so ist überhaupt keine Tempomatfunktion anwählbar und die Geschwindigkeitssteuerung des Motorrads erfolgt ausschließlich über den Gasdrehgriff und die Bremse.In particular for controlling a cruise control of a motorcycle, a switch combination is known, consisting of an electrical toggle switch which can be pivoted from a middle position into two toggle positions and automatically returns to the middle position, and a further electrical switch which can assume two different switch positions. Such a switch combination is used to control cruise control on motorcycles of the type Ultra Classic E-Glide from the manufacturer Harley-Davidson. The further switch is an on / off switch with two switch positions, for example a toggle switch. It is used to switch the cruise control function on and off. The electric toggle switch, which can be swiveled from its middle position into two toggle positions and automatically returns to the middle position, is used to control the individual functions of the cruise control. If the electric toggle switch is in its middle position, the status quo is maintained. This means that either a certain previously set speed is used or the cruise control is out of operation. The latter when the cruise control function has been deactivated by actuating the throttle grip, the brake or the clutch of the vehicle. However, in order to reach either of these two operating states of the cruise control, the other electrical switch must be switched on have been put into operation. If the other electrical switch is off, no cruise control function can be selected at all and the speed control of the motorcycle is carried out exclusively via the throttle grip and the brake.
Bei über den weiteren elektrischen Schalter eingeschaltetem Tempomat wird durch die Bewegung des elektrischen Kippschalters aus seiner Mittelstellung heraus in die eine Endlage, ein momentan gefahrener Geschwindigkeitswert als Sollgeschwindigkeit eingespeichert, oder bei längerem Halten des Schalters in dieser Endlage, das Fahrzeug kontinuierlich beschleunigt. Ein Verschwenken des elektrischen Kippschalters in die andere Endlage verzögert das Fahrzeug kontinuierlich oder setzt einen gespeicherten Sollgeschwindigkeitswert, der zum Beispiel durch Drehen am Gasdrehgriff für eine gewisse Zeit außer Funktion gesetzt wurde, wieder in Funktion.When the cruise control is switched on via the further electrical switch, the vehicle is continuously accelerated by moving the electrical toggle switch from its central position into one end position, a speed value currently being driven as the setpoint speed, or by holding the switch in this end position for a longer time. Swiveling the electric toggle switch to the other end position continuously decelerates the vehicle or restores a stored target speed value, which has been deactivated for a certain time, for example by turning the throttle grip.
Die beiden Schalter zur Steuerung des Tempomats sind optisch nicht als Einheit zu erkennen, deshalb erfordert die Bedienung des Tempomats erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit durch den Fahrer. So zum Beispiel muß beim Bedienen des elektrischen Kippschalters vorher geprüft werden, ob der weitere elektrische Schalter in Einschaltstellung steht.The two switches for controlling the cruise control cannot be identified as a single unit, which is why the operation of the cruise control requires increased attention from the driver. For example, when operating the electrical toggle switch, it must be checked beforehand whether the other electrical switch is in the ON position.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine elektrische Schalterkombination bereitzustellen, die einfach zu bedienen ist und bei der durch die Anordnung der einzelnen Schalter, deren Zusammenwirken und gemeinsame Funktion ohne weiteres Zutun sofort erkenntlich ist.The object of the invention is to provide an electrical switch combination which is easy to use and in which the arrangement of the individual switches, their interaction and common function can be recognized immediately without further action.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1. Further refinements of the invention result from the subclaims.
Nach der Erfindung ist eine elektrische Schalterkombination, aus einem elektrischen Kippschalter, der aus einer Mittelstellung in zwei Kippstellungen verschwenkt werden kann und sich selbsttätig wieder in die Mittelstellung zurückstellt, und aus einem weiteren elektrischen Schalter, der mindestens zwei verschiedene Schaltstellungen einnehmen kann, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der weitere elektrische Schalter ein Schiebeschalter ist, dessen weiteres Betätigungsorgan mit dem Betätigungsorgan des Kippschalters in gegenseitiger Abhängigkeit steht, indem das weitere Betätigungsorgan des Schiebeschalters in wenigstens einer Schaltstellung das Betätigungsorgan des Kippschalters in seiner Mittelstellung mechanisch blockiert.According to the invention is an electrical switch combination, consisting of an electrical toggle switch which can be pivoted from a central position into two tilting positions and automatically returns to the central position, and from one Further electrical switch, which can assume at least two different switching positions, characterized in that the further electrical switch is a slide switch, the further actuating member of which is mutually dependent on the actuating member of the toggle switch, by the further actuating member of the sliding switch in at least one switching position of the actuating member of the Toggle switch mechanically blocked in its central position.
Das hat den Vorteil, daß das Zusammenwirken der beiden elektrischen Schalter und deren gemeinsame Funktionsweise visuell sofort erkannt wird. Außerdem kann, wenn der Schiebeschalter als Ein-/Ausschalter verwendet wird, für den Kippschalter eine andere elektrische Schaltungsvernetzung vorgesehen werden, da der Kippschalter mechanisch durch den Schiebeschalter blockiert wird und so seine Betätigung bereits eingeschränkt ist.This has the advantage that the interaction of the two electrical switches and the way they work together is immediately recognized visually. In addition, if the slide switch is used as an on / off switch, another electrical circuit networking can be provided for the toggle switch, since the toggle switch is mechanically blocked by the slide switch and its operation is thus already restricted.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung stehen die Bewegungsrichtungen des Betätigungsorgans und des weiteren Betätigungsorgans senkrecht aufeinander und das weitere Betätigungsorgan des Schiebeschalters umgreift in einer von zwei Schaltstellungen das Betätigungsorgan des Kippschalters in seiner Mittelstellung mindestens teilweise formschlüssig.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the directions of movement of the actuating member and the further actuating member are perpendicular to one another and the further actuating member of the slide switch engages around the actuating member of the toggle switch in its middle position at least partially in a positive manner in one of two switching positions.
Insbesondere zur Steuerung eines Tempomats ist diese Schalterkombination günstig gewählt. Der elektrische Schiebeschalter blockiert in einer seiner Endstellungen den Kippschalter formschlüssig, wobei der Schiebeschalter sich in seiner Aus-Stellung befindet. So ist der abgeschaltete Tempomat sofort visuell erkennbar und gleichzeitig sind seine Stellorgane mechanisch blockiert.This switch combination has been selected favorably, in particular for controlling a cruise control. The electrical slide switch blocks the toggle switch in one of its end positions, the slide switch being in its off position. The deactivated cruise control is immediately visually recognizable and at the same time its actuators are mechanically blocked.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung ist eine Kontrolleuchte vorgesehen, die vom weiteren Betätigungsorgan des Schiebeschalters in einer seiner Schaltstellungen abgedeckt wird.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, a control lamp is provided, which is covered by the further actuating member of the slide switch in one of its switching positions.
Eine Kontrolleuchte, die den Einschaltzustand durch Beleuchtung anzeigt, ist vorteilhafterweise so plaziert, daß sie durch den Schiebeschalter im Ausschaltzustand abgedeckt wird. Hierdurch wird zusätzlich visuell deutlich, daß der Schiebeschalter sich auf Aus befindet. Außerdem entsteht so eine kompakte Schalteinheit mit Kontrolleuchte, die sehr günstig im Griffbereich eines Motorradfahrers am Motorradlenker angebracht werden kann.A control lamp which indicates the switch-on state by means of lighting is advantageously placed in such a way that it is switched off by the slide switch is covered. This also makes it visually clear that the slide switch is off. In addition, a compact switching unit with control lamp is created, which can be attached very cheaply in the grip area of a motorcycle rider on the motorcycle handlebar.

Jede Figur zeigt die jeweilige Schalterkombination in den zwei verschiedenen Schaltstellungen Ein / Aus.Each figure shows the respective switch combination in the two different switch positions on / off.
Von einer elektrischen Schalterkombination sind in den Figuren 1 bis 3 ausschließlich die Betätigungsorgane dargestellt. Die Funktionsweise der elektrischen Schalter selbst ist nicht Gegenstand der Erfindung und daher nicht gezeichnet und nicht näher erläutert. Es sei nur so viel erwähnt, daß diese Schalter, was ihren Aufbau bezüglich der elektrischen Funktion betrifft, ohne weiteres von einem Fachmann aufgebaut werden können, unter Verwendung bekannter elektrischer Schalteinrichtungen.Of an electrical switch combination, only the actuators are shown in Figures 1 to 3. The operation of the electrical switch itself is not the subject of the invention and therefore not drawn and not explained in detail. It should only be mentioned so much that these switches, in terms of their structure with regard to the electrical function, can easily be constructed by a person skilled in the art using known electrical switching devices.
Die Figuren 1, 2 und 3 zeigen ein Betätigungsorgan 1 eines elektrischen Kippschalters, das aus einer gezeichneten Mittelstellung in zwei Kippstellungen verschwenkt werden kann. Die Kipprichtungen sind in den Figuren 2 und 3 angedeutet dargestellt durch die Schalteraufschriften für die Funktionen SET und RES, die bei der Ansteuerung eines Tempomats üblich sind. Wird das Betätigungsorgan 1 des Kippschalters kurzfristig nach oben verschwenkt in Richtung SET, so wird ein neuer Geschwindigkeitssollwert gesetzt. Bei längerem Verweilen in dieser Verschwenkposition beschleunigt das Fahrzeug kontinuierlich bis zu einem Geschwindigkeitswert, der dann gespeichert wird, wenn das Betätigungsorgan 1 losgelassen wird und deshalb selbsttätig wieder in seine Mittelstellung zurückkehrt.Figures 1, 2 and 3 show an actuator 1 of an electric toggle switch which can be pivoted from a drawn center position into two tilt positions. The tilt directions are indicated in Figures 2 and 3 represented by the switch labels for the functions SET and RES, which are common when controlling a cruise control. If the actuator 1 of the toggle switch is briefly pivoted upwards in the direction of SET, a new speed setpoint is set. If the vehicle remains in this pivoted position for a longer period of time, it accelerates continuously up to a speed value which is stored when the actuating member 1 is released and therefore automatically returns to its central position.
Wird das Betätigungsorgan 1 des elektrischen Kippschalters in Richtung der Aufschrift RES bewegt, so wird ein gespeicherter Geschwindigkeitssollwert verwendet, nämlich der, der vor der Betätigung einer Bremse oder eines Gasdrehgriffs oder einer Kupplung des Motorrads, die die Tempomatfunktion abschaltet, eingestellt war. Bei längerem Auslenken des Betätigungsorgans 1 in Richtung RES verzögert das Fahrzeug kontinuierlich bis auf einen Geschwindigkeitssollwert, der der Geschwindigkeit beim Loslassen des Betätigungsorgans 1 entspricht. Die Rückstellung des Betätigungsorgans 1 in die gezeichnete Mittelstellung erfolgt selbsttätig.If the actuating element 1 of the electric toggle switch is moved in the direction of the inscription RES, then a stored speed setpoint is used, namely that which was set before the actuation of a brake or a throttle grip or a clutch of the motorcycle which switches off the cruise control function. If the actuator 1 is deflected for a longer period in the direction RES, the vehicle decelerates continuously to a speed setpoint which corresponds to the speed when the actuator 1 is released. The actuating member 1 is automatically returned to the center position shown.
Eine Kontrolleuchte 2 und zusätzlich die Aufschrift ON zeigt an, daß die Tempomatfunktion eingeschaltet ist.An indicator lamp 2 and the inscription ON indicate that the cruise control function is switched on.
Wird ein Schiebeschalter, als weiterer elektrischer Schalter, von dieser Stellung, in der die Tempomatfunktion eingeschaltet ist, senkrecht zur Bewegungsrichtung des Betätigungsorgans 1 in dessen Richtung bewegt, so schiebt sich ein weiteres Betätigungsorgan 3 des Schiebeschalters mit einer Ausnehmung 4 über eine Ausbuchtung 5 am Betätigungsorgan 1 des elektrischen Kippschalters. Dadurch wird das Betätigungsorgan 1 teilweise formschlüssig vom weiteren Betätigungsorgan 3 umgriffen.If a slide switch, as a further electrical switch, is moved from this position, in which the cruise control function is switched on, perpendicularly to the direction of movement of the actuating member 1 in its direction, then another actuating member 3 of the sliding switch with a recess 4 is pushed over a bulge 5 on the actuating member 1 of the electric toggle switch. As a result, the actuating member 1 is partially positively encompassed by the further actuating member 3.
Das Betätigungsorgan 1 des elektrischen Kippschalters kann nun nicht mehr nach oben oder unten ausgelenkt werden, es ist in seiner Mittelstellung fixiert. Die Kontrolleuchte 2 und die Aufschrift ON sind abgedeckt durch das weitere Betätigungsorgan 3 des Schiebeschalters. Zusätzlich wird die Aufschrift OFF vom weiteren Betätigungsorgan 3 des Schiebeschalters freigegeben. Dieser befindet sich in seiner Endstellung, in der der Tempomat ausgeschaltet ist, das heißt, dessen Ansteuerung nicht möglich ist. Das wird visuell auch dadurch deutlich, daß das Betätigungsorgan 1 für den elektrischen Kippschalter durch das weitere Betätigungsorgan 3 des Schiebeschalters blockiert ist und an seiner Auslenkung gehindert wird.The actuator 1 of the electric toggle switch can no longer be deflected up or down, it is fixed in its central position. The control lamp 2 and the inscription ON are covered by the further actuator 3 of the slide switch. In addition, the inscription OFF from the other actuator 3 of the slide switch released. This is in its end position, in which the cruise control is switched off, that is, control of which is not possible. This is visually clear that the actuator 1 for the electric toggle switch is blocked by the other actuator 3 of the slide switch and is prevented from being deflected.
