Definitions

  • the invention belongs to the technical sector of electronic components, in particular the invention relates to a device for controlling external pauses, preferably intended for electronic circuits.
  • the fundamental aim of the invention is to develop a device that enables the control of external pauses to be carried out on a potentiometer, achieving a high torque, without causing damage to the potentiometer, by means of
  • potentiometers intended for controlling internal and external pauses are widely known, for example, Spanish utility model 201431241 and invention patent 200100711 describe potentiometers with internal pause positions, the concavities for the said pauses being located on the collector plate and the cursor and wiper carrier being located inside the potentiometer, with the drawback that a high rotation torque cannot be obtained.
  • the fact that the cursor and wiper carrier are incorporated inside the potentiometer also conditions the rotation torque, it being low in order to prevent damage to the potentiometer, which restricts its use when a high rotation torque is required.
  • Potentiometers with a metal strip system that are intended for controlling internal pauses are also known, having a control shaft that incorporates protrusions to carry out pauses, with the drawback that the control shaft forms part of the assembly, preventing another shaft from being directly inserted either into the upper part or the lower part.
  • potentiometers intended for controlling internal pauses by means of the ball and spring system, having the same drawback as in the previous case given that the control shaft forms part of the potentiometer assembly.
  • High-torque potentiometers intended for controlling external pauses by means of the ball and spring system are also known, being easily actuated with a control shaft on their upper part, due to the type of assembly, but with the drawback that to insert the control shaft in their lower part it is necessary to align the components and to fix their position.
  • control shaft can be inserted through the upper part of the aforementioned state-of-the-art potentiometers conditions the insertion of the said potentiometer in an electronic circuit, as this requires the potentiometer to be placed on just one of the faces which limits the design of the said electronic circuit.
  • the casing is configured by a base with a cavity housing the potentiometer and with anchoring means such as anchor tabs and/or fixing studs to keep the potentiometer in place, the said cavity being connected to a prolongation intended for positioning the pause marker, the bottom of the said cavity having a surface with a plurality of protrusions intended for the operation of the external pause control.
  • the pause marker comprises, on its upper part, a ring cursor with one or more raised sections, incorporating, on one or more of the said raised sections, a protuberance as a contact element with protrusions intended for the pause control operation; said pause marker having, on the upper part and lower part of its vertical section, a socket for coupling a control shaft.
  • the pause marker slides over the protrusions intended for the pause control operation, on a rotation axis of up to 360° with or without stop elements.
  • the sockets positioned at the lower and upper ends of the vertical section of the pause marker may optionally be connected by a through-hole.
  • the device for controlling external pauses presented affords numerous advantages over those currently available, the most important being that of having a pause marker independent of the electrical contact, with one part coupled to the casing and the other part to a potentiometer.
  • Another noteworthy advantage is the possibility of operating the device from both ends by means of a control shaft that allows its insertion through the upper part, coupled to the pause marker or through the lower part, coupled to the potentiometer and/or pause marker.
  • FIG. 1 a perspective view is shown of the exploded diagram of the device for controlling external pauses, showing the control shaft (4) positioned on the upper or lower part, enabling the actuation thereof in any situation.
  • the pause marker (2) which comprises, on its upper part, a ring cursor (5) with one or more raised sections, incorporating, on one or more of the said raised sections, a protuberance (9) as a contact element, with the protrusions (14) intended for the pause control operation; said pause marker (2) having, on the upper part and lower part of its vertical section, a socket (11) for coupling a control shaft (4).
  • the control shaft (4) is easily configured, on its lower part, to coincide with the sockets (11) for the actuation of the device for controlling external pauses.
  • Figure 2 shows the casing (1) viewed on its upper part, incorporating prolongations (7) which act as a support for the device for controlling external pauses, the said prolongations (7) being finished on top with placing protuberances (8) which, in addition to placing and/or anchoring the device for controlling external pauses on an electronic circuit, improve its stability.
  • the placing protuberances (8) may not be necessary depending on the mounting conditions on an electronic circuit.
  • Figure 3 shows the casing (1) seen on its lower part, presenting a cavity (12) housing a potentiometer (3) with anchoring mechanisms such as anchor tabs (6) and/or fixing studs (10),
  • the cavity (12) connects to a prolongation (13) intended for positioning the pause marker (2), the bottom of the said cavity (12) having a surface with a plurality of protrusions (14) intended for the operation of the external pause control.
  • Figure 4 shows the mounting of the device for controlling pauses, seen on its upper part, showing the pause marker (2) presenting a socket (11) on its upper part intended for the quick insertion of a control shaft (4) (not shown).
  • Figure 5 shows a lower view of the device for controlling external pauses, mounted, showing the bottom area of the pause marker (2) joined to the potentiometer (3) intended for the insertion of a control shaft (4) (not shown), and the potentiometer (3) fixed in the casing (1) by means of the anchor tabs (6) and/or fixing studs (10).
  • Attachment of the potentiometer can be carried out by means of the anchor tabs (6) or by means of the fixing studs (10) and with both at the same time if necessary, said attachment being optionally covered by a lid (not shown).
  • Figure 6 shows the device for controlling pauses, marking section A-A, mounted, seen from above, showing the pause marker (2) housed between the upper part of the casing (1).
  • Figure 7 shows the device for controlling pauses in section A-A, in which the fitting of the pause marker (2) with the casing (1) and the potentiometer (3) can be seen, also showing the protrusions (14) intended for the operation of the external pause control, coinciding with one or more protuberances (9) incorporated on the ring cursor (5) of the pause marker (2).
  • Figure 8 shows the device for controlling pauses in section B-B, in which the fitting of the pause marker (2) with the casing (1) and the potentiometer (3) can be seen, also showing the positioning of the raised sections of the ring cursor (5), showing the protuberances (9) on the protrusions (14) intended for the operation of the external pause control.
  • the casing (1) shown in the figures is configured, for illustrative purposes, in a geometrical embodiment that presents a cube-shaped base and an upper cylindrical prolongation.
