Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric switch for use on multiple controls in the field of commercial vehicles, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the respective operating fingers have only a relatively small range of motion, as the rest of the hand on the multiple control element, also called joystick, must remain.
  • the operating direction of the thumbwheel is regularly approximately orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the multiple control element, following the natural movement of the thumb of a gripping hand.
  • the EP 1 246 040 describes a multi-function handle with individual pressure switches for earthmoving machinery such as excavators.
  • the EP 1 288 763 describes a multifunctional handle for an agricultural Vehicle like a combine harvester with only push buttons.
  • a rotary electric switch describes the DE 10 2007 033 911 A1 ,

  • the present invention provides a lit, rotatable by a limited angle rotary switch, which indicates the operator in the dark or in low light conditions, the current position and thus the switching state by light safely. It is particularly advantageous if the switch is not only illuminated as such, but this lighting is formed depending on the working position, that is formed differently depending on the working position of the switch. The operator can therefore easily determine at a glance in which operating position the rotary switch according to the invention is at a certain time.
  • the switch according to the invention is provided for operation by a thumb or an index finger of an operator, wherein it is arranged erster admiration on the front side of a multi-function handle and otherwise on the back of the multi-function handle.
  • the light guide allows with great advantage the decoupling of mechanical rotation and place of light generation, so that no cables or the like must be carried along in the mechanical rotary motion.
  • the optical waveguide is designed such that it receives light from one or more light sources at one and / or a plurality of spatially distant locations and is forwarded to the operating part.
  • the light collecting side which is spatially large in accordance with the invention, light sources emitting different colored light can advantageously be spatially separated from each other, so that even large rotary movements of the control unit still result in the light of a light source being collected, conducted and emitted on the control panel.
  • the operating part is arranged on the carrying axle of the carrier housing and has means for limiting the rotational movement, it is the simplest design and avoids incorrect operation of the switch according to the invention, since mechanical forces can not be exerted excessively.
  • the light guide is formed by the carrier housing itself by being formed of transparent thermoplastic material.
  • the use of the transparent thermoplastic material according to the invention enables a simple production of the carrier housing by injection molding and advantageously reduces the number of parts required, so that it is possible to dispense with an independent light guide next to the transparent light-conducting carrier housing.
  • a further light guide is provided between the carrier housing and exit point of the light on the control panel so that the emitted light from the bulbs inside the carrier housing collected by the carrier housing and in the further light guide is largely unchanged in color and scattering coupled to Lichtaustrittsart on the control panel.
  • the control unit has a neutral and two or more working positions, in particular an upper and lower stop with interposed neutral center position.
  • more than two working positions for example four working positions with a neutral middle position, are also conceivable.
  • a neutral end position is conceivable and adjoining differently illuminated operating positions. This is always useful if you want to control work processes with this switch, which always have to be processed in the same order, so that one work step is always followed by the second, third etc. step, if necessary also in the reverse order back to the initial or neutral position.
  • the embodiments of the switch as a momentary switch with provision or as described as a latching switch with multiple switch positions or combinations thereof.
  • the carrier housing carries a printed circuit board, in particular an SMD-equipped printed circuit board, which in turn carries lamps and that the carrier housing has a second optical fiber.

  • the printed circuit board carries lighting means, which according to the invention may be LEDs, for example, but need not.
  • the second light guide provided on or in the carrier housing collects the light of the one or more light sources and is therefore also mechanically protected. According to the invention, the second light guide can also be part of the carrier housing itself.
  • a wheel cover is fastened to the control unit, in particular a wheel cover snapped onto the control panel, wherein preferably a second optical fiber is provided and supported between the wheel cover and the control panel, a particularly efficient, structurally simple and permanent solution is made possible.
  • a simple and advantageous embodiment of the second light guide provides that this as a bent and in installation position rotated by 180 ° T. is trained.
  • the crosspiece of the T in the form of a cylinder jacket section forms a spatially large light collecting side which, even with strong deflection of the operating element, still captures the light of a luminous means and initiates at its single light exit end into a control element, for example a wheel cover.
  • the switch according to the invention is able to produce both angle-dependent and function-dependent lighting situations on the control panel with great advantage.
  • the light of another and differently colored light source reaches the light exit end via the light guide and illuminates the control panel so that it is illuminated in an angle-dependent manner.
  • the switch according to the invention is also functionally illuminated by different luminescent colors can be displayed in one and the same working position of the control panel. This is always advantageous if, with an actuation of the switch, a work process is triggered from several automatically successive steps, such as gripping, pivoting and releasing.
  • the individual stages of operation are displayed by changing colors of a single light source, for example, the sequence green-yellow-red of a multicolour LED.
  • Electro-technically particularly advantageous is the design of the switch as a non-contact switch, in particular Hall or reed switch, as this reduces the number of parts required and at the same time allows a reliable and long-lasting switch as possible.
  • the assembled printed circuit board mechanically against dust or Moisture is protected, so that their life is not shortened even under the harsh conditions of the invention.
  • this mechanical protection can be achieved by casting by means of transparent potting compound or by using a transparent adhesive for bonding the printed circuit board. This results in high advantage in a switch with a high IP class, for example, a class above IP67, as is particularly desirable when used in commercial vehicles such as excavators, combine harvesters or tractors.
