Definitions
- the invention is based on a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such devices are found in particular as operating and / or control devices in one
- the device can be a
- Door control which is arranged in the armrest of the car door and is used to operate the electric window lifters and / or the electric mirror adjustment, act.
- Such a device has a housing. Inside the housing there is a carrier plate which is used to hold functionally relevant parts.
- the carrier plate is in turn arranged on at least one bearing element in the housing. It has been found that the arrangement of the carrier plate in the housing is subject to tolerances due to manufacturing and / or assembly inaccuracies, which in turn can impair the function of the device.
- the invention is based on the object of further developing the device in such a way that such functional impairments are largely prevented.
- the bearing element is designed to be elastic.
- the bearing element is designed in the manner of a spring element
- the operating and / or control device generally includes an electronic circuit.
- the carrier plate can expediently be provided for receiving electrical and / or electronic components which are used to form the electronic circuit.
- the carrier plate can be a printed circuit board.
- the housing can comprise a base and a cover. The bearing element can be attached to the base in a simple manner.
- the bearing element can be designed in the manner of a bellows.
- the bearing element can expediently have an approximately W-shaped cross section.
- the middle tip of the W-shaped part ie the tip of the W, can form the bearing for the carrier plate.
- a symmetrical configuration can be selected for the bearing element, in that the bearing element comprises two approximately W-shaped parts.
- the two W-shaped parts can also be connected to one another by means of a U-shaped part.
- U-shaped part is attached to the base
- a further, in particular a rigid, support element can be provided for the arrangement of the carrier element.
- the support element can be designed in one piece with the bearing element in a manner that is simple to manufacture.
- the housing and / or the bearing element and / or the support element can consist of a thermoplastic material in a cost-effective manner.
- the housing and / or the bearing element and / or the support element can be manufactured by means of injection molding.
- the bearing element and / or the support element can be injection-molded onto the base or into the base be integrated.
- 1K injection molding offers advantages in terms of manufacturing costs as well as
- ESD Electrostatic Discharge
- Tolerance compensation has been created for a circuit board to a base of a housing.
- the tolerance compensation element can be integrated in the base without opening the base for production purposes.
- the base has a geometry similar to that of a bellows.
- the resulting resilient elements are self-contained but flexible so that the suspension of the elements can be used to compensate for tolerances.
- the advantages achieved with the invention are in particular that the mounting of the carrier plate in the housing is made possible without tension. This increases their functional and / or operational safety. The number of rejects is also reduced. The production of the resilient elements for the bearing element on the base is possible using tools without the need for openings on the base. This ensures that the device has passed the ESD (electrostatic discharge) tests, so that, in turn, an improvement in the function and / or function
- FIG. 1 shows a device with a housing which consists of a base and a cover, in a perspective view
- FIG. 2 seen the base according to direction II in Fig. 1 and FIG. 3 shows a section along the line 3-3 in FIG. 2.
- a device 1 can be seen, which is, for example, an operating and / or control device for a motor vehicle.
- the device 1 has a housing 2 on which
- the carrier plate 6 for receiving the electrical and / or electronic components 7 (see FIG. 3) of the device 1.
- the carrier plate 6 is thus a printed circuit board.
- the housing 2 comprises a base 4 and a cover 5.
- the cover 5 is fastened to the base 4 by means of latching elements 11.
- an electrical connection 12 for the device 1 is arranged on the base 4.
- the carrier plate 6 is arranged on at least one bearing element 8.
- the bearing element 8 fastened to the base 4 and / or integrated into the base 4 is designed to be elastic.
- the bearing element 8 is designed in the manner of a spring element in such a way that tolerance compensation is created for the arrangement of the carrier plate 6 in the housing 2.
- an additional support element 9 is provided for arranging the carrier plate 6 in the housing 2.
- the support element 9 is particularly rigid.
- the support element 9 is preferably designed in one piece with the bearing element 8.
- the bearing element 8 is designed in the manner of a bellows.
- the bearing element 8 has an approximately W-shaped cross section, so that the bearing element 8 is elastic.
- the middle tip 10 of the W-shaped part 8 ' that is to say the middle tip 10 of the "W" forms the bearing for supporting the carrier plate 6.
- the bearing element 8 preferably offers two adjacent support points 10 for the carrier plate 6, for which the bearing element 8 comprises two approximately W-shaped parts 8 ', 8 ".
- the two W-shaped parts 8', 8" are connected to one another by means of a U-shaped part 8 '".
- the U-shaped part 8'" is again on the base 4 attached and / or integrated into the base 4.
- the support element 9 can also be attached to the base 4 and / or integrated into the base 4.
- the housing 2 and / or the bearing element 8 and / or the support element 9 consist of a thermoplastic material.
- the housing 2 and / or the bearing element 8 and / or the support element 9 consist of a thermoplastic material.
- Support element 9 are made by injection molding. Furthermore, the bearing element 8 and / or the support element 9 can then be integrated in the base 4 by means of 1K (one-component) syringes or by injection molding on the base 4 in one operation by means of 2K (two-component) syringes.
- the bearing element 8 can be used in the area of white goods and / or the home area, such as in washing machines, vacuum cleaners, coffee machines, power tools, smart home control units or the like.
