Description

Bedieneinrichtung operating device
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bedieneinrichtung, insbesondere für ein Kraftfahrzeug oder für ein Kraftfahrzeugnavigationssystem.The invention relates to an operating device, in particular for a motor vehicle or for a motor vehicle navigation system.
Moderne Kraftfahrzeuge verfügen zunehmend über eine separat von einer Anzeigeeinrichtung gebildete Bedieneinrichtung im Bereich der Mittelkonsole. Eine solche Bedieneinrichtung ist beispielsweise aus der EP 0893750 B1 bekannt. Die Bedieneinrichtung verfügt dabei über ein bidirektional um seine Symmetrieachse drehbares Schaltglied, das zudem axial bewegbar (drückbar) und schwenkbar gelagert ist. Damit können durch ein Drehen, Drücken und/oder Schwenken des Schaltgliedes beispielsweise Menüpunkte auf einer Anzeigeeinrichtung markiert und ausgewählt werden oder Parameter eingestellt werden.Modern motor vehicles increasingly have a control device, which is formed separately from a display device, in the area of the center console. Such an operating device is known for example from EP 0893750 B1. The operating device has a bidirectionally rotatable about its axis of symmetry switching element, which is also axially movable (can be pressed) and pivotally mounted. Thus, by turning, pressing and / or pivoting the switching element, for example, menu items can be marked and selected on a display device or parameters can be set.
Es stellte sich bei umfangreichen der Erfindung zu Grunde liegenden Untersuchungen heraus, dass gerade während der Fahrt häufig gleichzeitig mit einem vom Fahrer beabsichtigten Schwenken oder Kippen eines solchen Schaltgliedes ein vom Fahrer nicht beabsichtigtes Drehen des Schaltgliedes bewirkt wird. Dies liegt auch daran, dass die Bedieneinrichtung derart konzipiert ist, dass mit gleichen Angriffspunkten am Schaltglied sowohl ein Schwenken oder Kippen des Schaltgliedes als auch ein Drehen des Schaltgliedes bewirkt werden kann.It turned out in extensive the invention of the underlying investigations that just while driving often simultaneously with a driver intended pivoting or tilting of such a switching element, a driver not intended rotation of the switching element is effected. This is also because the operating device is designed in such a way that both pivoting or tilting of the switching element as well as rotation of the switching element can be effected with the same attack points on the switching element.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Bedieneinrichtung zu schaffen, durch die ein, insbesondere fahrzeugtechnisches, System, wie beispielsweise ein Navigationssystem oder ein Entertainmentsystem, basierend auf einem Drehen, Drücken und/oder Kippen, insbesondere während der Fahrt, sicher bedienbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind den abhängigen Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.The invention is based on the object of providing an operating device by means of which a vehicle-specific system, such as a navigation system or an entertainment system based on turning, pressing and / or tilting, in particular while driving, can be safely operated , This object is solved by the features of the main claim. Advantageous developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims.
Die Erfindung basiert demnach auch auf dem Gedanken, ein Drehelement und ein Kippelement vorzusehen und diese derart zweiteilig und/oder entkoppelt voneinander auszubilden und anzuordnen, dass ein beabsichtigtes Kippen des Kippelementes nicht ein unbeabsichtigtes Drehen des Drehelementes bewirkt und/oder ein beabsichtigtes Drehen des Drehelementes nicht ein unbeabsichtigtes Kippen des Kippelementes bewirkt.Accordingly, the invention is also based on the idea of providing a rotary element and a tilting element and of forming and arranging them in two parts and / or decoupled from one another such that intentional tilting of the tilting element does not cause unintentional rotation of the rotary element and / or intentional rotation of the rotary element causes an unintentional tilting of the tilting element.
Vorzugsweise ist dazu ein Kippelement unter einem um eine Rotationsachse (Symmetrieachse) drehbaren Drehelement oder unterhalb eines um eine Rotationsachse (Symmetrieachse) drehbaren Drehelements angeordnet. Dabei kann die Rotationsachse zudem die Symmetrieachse und/oder die Längsachse des Drehelementes und/oder des Kippelementes (insbesondere im Grundzustand) bilden. Die beispielsweise zwei, vier oder acht Kipprichtungen des Kippelementes sind vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Rotationsachse gerichtet. Zwischen Drehelement und Kippelement ist vorteilhafterweise kein weiteres Element angeordnet.For this purpose, a tilting element is preferably arranged under a rotary element which is rotatable about an axis of rotation (symmetry axis) or below a rotary element which is rotatable about a rotation axis (axis of symmetry). In this case, the axis of rotation can also form the axis of symmetry and / or the longitudinal axis of the rotary element and / or the tilting element (in particular in the ground state). The example, two, four or eight tilting directions of the tilting element are preferably directed substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Between the rotary member and tilting element advantageously no further element is arranged.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass das Kippelement derart mit dem Drehelement zusammenwirkt, dass zwar ein Kippen des Kippelementes ein Kippen des Drehelementes (Kipp-Drehelement) bewirkt und/oder ein Kippen des Drehelementes (Kipp-Drehelement) ein Kippen des Kippelementes bewirkt, dass das Kippelement selbst aber vorzugsweise nicht drehbar ist.An advantageous embodiment provides that the tilting element cooperates with the rotary element in such a way that tilting of the tilting element causes tilting of the rotary element (tilting rotary element) and / or tilting of the rotary element (tilting rotary element) causes tilting of the tilting element but the tilting element itself is preferably not rotatable.
Dadurch wird erreicht, dass durch den Nutzer oder Bediener ein besonders einfaches und komfortables Kippen des Kippelementes möglich ist, aber ein versehentliches Drehen des Drehelementes beim beabsichtigten Kippen des Kippelementes durch eine Betätigung nur des Kippelementes oder durch die dreh-hemmende Wirkung des Kippelementes verhindert werden kann, beispielsweise weil ein Finger beim Kippen auf dem drehfesten Kippelement ruht.This ensures that a particularly simple and comfortable tilting of the tilting element is possible by the user or operator, but accidental rotation of the rotating element in the intended tilting of the tilting element by an actuation of only the tilting element or by the rotation-inhibiting effect of the tilting element can be prevented, for example, because a finger rests on tilting on the non-rotatable tilting element.
Vorzugsweise ist das Kippelement derart unabhängig von dem Drehelement gelagert oder befestigt, dass ein Drehen des Drehelementes um seine Rotationsachse oder Längsachse kein Drehen des Kippelementes bewirkt. Insbesondere ist das Kippelement nicht drehbar gelagert oder bezüglich einer Drehung um die Rotationsachse des Drehelementes fest.Preferably, the tilting member is mounted or fixed independently of the rotary member such that rotation of the rotary member about its axis of rotation or longitudinal axis does not cause rotation of the tilting member. In particular, the tilting element is not rotatably mounted or fixed with respect to a rotation about the axis of rotation of the rotary element.
Um das Kippelement auch während der Fahrt, insbesondere ohne hinzusehen, sicher erfühlen und bedienen zu können, ragt das Kippelement in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Rotationsachse des Drehelementes unter dem Drehelement hervor. Es liegt dabei auch ein Kippelement im Rahmen der Erfindung, das im Wesentlichen nur aus dem hervorragenden Anteil besteht.In order to be able to feel and operate the tilting element reliably even while driving, in particular without looking, the tilting element protrudes in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotary element under the rotary element. It is also a tilting element in the context of the invention, which consists essentially only of the outstanding proportion.
Die Bedienbarkeit wird weiter verbessert, indem das Drehelement und/oder das Kippelement in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Rotationsachse einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt aufweist.The operability is further improved by having the rotary member and / or the tilting member in a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis has a circular cross-section.
Vorteilhafterweise sind das Kippelement und das Drehelement konzentrisch zueinander ausgebildet oder angeordnet. Dadurch ist das Kippelement und das Drehelement mit einer Hand bedienbar, ohne die gesamte Hand zwischen einer Kippbewegung und einer Drehung anders platzieren zu müssen. Dies vereinfacht und beschleunigt eine Handhabung der Bedieneinrichtung weiter.Advantageously, the tilting element and the rotary element are concentric with each other or arranged. As a result, the tilting element and the rotary element can be operated with one hand without having to place the entire hand differently between a tilting movement and a rotation. This further simplifies and accelerates handling of the operating device.
Vorzugsweise weist die unter dem Drehelement hervorragende, insbesondere ringförmige, Oberseite des Kippelementes eine um das Drehelement umlaufende Rille oder Rinne auf, welche als Angriffsfläche dient, um das Kipp- element und damit gegebenenfalls das Drehelement in eine gewünschte Richtung zu kippen.Preferably, the top, which is outstanding under the rotary element, in particular annular, of the tilting element has a groove or channel running around the rotary element, which serves as a contact surface in order to prevent tilting. element and thus possibly to tilt the rotary member in a desired direction.
Alternativ oder ergänzend dazu weist das Drehelement vorteilhafterweise auf der Oberseite eine Mulde auf, welche als Angriffsfläche dient, um das Drehelement und damit das Kippelement in eine gewünschte Richtung zu kippen. Vorzugsweise sind diese Mulde und/oder ein die Mulde tragendes Element derart ausgeführt, gelagert oder befestigt, dass sie sich nicht mit dem Drehelement um die Rotationsachse mitdrehen sondern drehfest, insbesondere bezüglich des Fahrzeuges oder der Mittelkonsole des Fahrzeuges, ausgeführt sind. Alternativ dazu dreht sich diese Mulde mit dem Drehelement mit oder ist ein Teil des Drehelementes.Alternatively or additionally, the rotary element advantageously has a recess on the upper side, which serves as a contact surface in order to tilt the rotary element and thus the tilting element in a desired direction. Preferably, these trough and / or a trough-carrying element are designed, stored or attached so that they do not rotate with the rotary member about the axis of rotation but rotatably, in particular with respect to the vehicle or the center console of the vehicle executed. Alternatively, this trough rotates with the rotary member or is part of the rotary member.
Das Drehelement kann zudem derart ausgeführt und gelagert sein, dass es in Richtung Rotationsachse oder Längsachse drückbar ist (Druck- Drehelement). Zudem kann es auch kippbar ausgeführt sein (Druck-Kipp- Drehelement).The rotary element can also be designed and mounted such that it can be pressed in the direction of the axis of rotation or longitudinal axis (pressure rotary element). In addition, it can also be designed tiltable (pressure-tilting rotary member).
Besonders bevorzugt ist das Drehelement derart unabhängig von dem Kippelement ausgeführt, dass ein Drücken des Drehelementes kein Drücken des Kippelementes bewirkt. Das Kippelement kann in diesem Fall insbesondere nicht in Richtung Rotationsachse oder Längsachse gedrückt oder bewegt werden.Particularly preferably, the rotary member is designed so independent of the tilting element that pressing the rotary member causes no pressing of the tilting element. In particular, the tilting element can not be pressed or moved in the direction of the axis of rotation or the longitudinal axis in this case.
Insbesondere dazu kann das Drehelement von dem Kippelement abgesetzt gebildet sein. Das Drehelement kann dabei die Formgebung des Kippelementes aufnehmen oder fortsetzen, um einem Nutzer mit Hinblick auf die Kippbewegung zu signalisieren, dass das Drehelement und das Kippelement eine Einheit bilden. Vorteilhafterweise nimmt der zur Rotationsachse senkrechte Durchmesser des Drehelementes in Druckrichtung von der Oberseite zur Unterseite des Drehelementes zunächst zu und dann ab.In particular, the rotary element can be formed offset from the tilting element. The rotary element can thereby record or continue the shaping of the tilting element in order to signal to a user with regard to the tilting movement that the rotary element and the tilting element form a unit. Advantageously, the diameter of the rotary element, which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation, first increases in the direction of pressure from the upper side to the lower side of the rotary element and then decreases.
Um einem Fahrer mit Hinblick auf die Kippbewegung zu signalisieren, dass das Drehelement und das Kippelement eine Einheit bilden, kann der zur Rotationsachse senkrechte Durchmesser des Drehelementes an der Unterseite im Wesentlichen dem zur Rotationsachse senkrechten Durchmesser des Kippelementes an der Oberseite entsprechen.In order to signal a driver with regard to the tilting movement that the rotary element and the tilting element form a unit, the diameter of the rotary element perpendicular to the axis of rotation at the bottom can essentially correspond to the diameter of the tilting element at the top that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Kippelement und/oder das Drehelement um ein Kugellager oder Kugelgelenk kippbar gelagert sind. Alternativ oder ergänzend dazu ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass das Drehelement in dem Kippelement drehbar gelagert ist, und mittelbar über das Kippelement, insbesondere zusammen mit dem Kippelement, um ein Kugellager oder Kugelgelenk kippbar gelagert ist.An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the tilting element and / or the rotary member are tiltably mounted about a ball bearing or ball joint. Alternatively or additionally, it is preferably provided that the rotary element is rotatably mounted in the tilting element, and indirectly via the tilting element, in particular together with the tilting element, is mounted tiltably about a ball bearing or ball joint.
Die seitliche Oberfläche des Kippelementes hat vorzugsweise die Gestalt einer Kugelzone, um eine Veränderung der Spaltbreite zwischen dieser O- berfläche und einer das Kippelement umgebenden kreisförmig ausgeschnittenen Blende während der Kippbewegung zu vermeiden.The lateral surface of the tilting element preferably has the shape of a spherical zone in order to avoid a change in the gap width between this outer surface and a circular cutout surrounding the tilting element during the tilting movement.
Vorzugsweise ist das Kippelement derart unabhängig von dem Drehelement gebildet, dass ein Kippen des Kippelementes nicht ein Kippen des Drehelementes bewirkt. Insbesondere ist das Drehelement dabei gar nicht kippbar gelagert sondern hinsichtlich eines Kippens fest.Preferably, the tilting element is formed independently of the rotary element such that tilting of the tilting element does not cause tilting of the rotary element. In particular, the rotary element is not tiltable at all but is fixed with regard to tilting.
Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Oberseite des Drehelementes, insbesondere unmittelbar, bedeckt ist durch eine kreisförmige oder scheibenförmige Kappe, die sich nicht mit dem Drehelement um die Rotationsachse dreht, und die dadurch ebenfalls verdrehhemmend wirkt. Der Ra- dius der Kappe senkrecht zur Rotationsachse kann gleich oder geringfügig kleiner als der Radius der Oberseite des Drehelementes sein. Unter der drehfesten im Wesentlichen scheibenförmigen Kappe kann das Drehelement gedreht werden. Durch eine entsprechende Kraft auf die Kappe kann aber samt Kappe vorzugsweise das Kippelement und/oder das Drehelement gekippt werden und/oder das Drehelement gedrückt werden.A development of the invention provides that the upper side of the rotary element, in particular directly, is covered by a circular or disk-shaped cap, which does not rotate with the rotary element about the axis of rotation, and thereby also acts to prevent rotation. The Dius of the cap perpendicular to the axis of rotation may be equal to or slightly smaller than the radius of the top of the rotary member. Under the rotationally fixed substantially disc-shaped cap, the rotating element can be rotated. By means of a corresponding force on the cap, however, the tilting element and / or the rotating element can preferably be tilted together with the cap, and / or the rotating element can be pressed.
Im Rahmen der Erfindung liegt es auch, das Kippelement durch ein Schwenkelement zu ersetzen und die Kippbewegung des Kippelementes und/oder des Drehelementes durch eine Schwenkbewegung (im Wesentlichen lineare Bewegung senkrecht zur Rotationsachse) des Schwenkelementes und/oder des Drehelementes zu ersetzen.In the context of the invention, it is also to replace the tilting element by a pivoting element and to replace the tilting movement of the tilting element and / or the rotary member by a pivoting movement (substantially linear movement perpendicular to the axis of rotation) of the pivoting element and / or the rotary member.
Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von Beispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die folgenden Figuren näher erläutert:In the following, the invention is explained in more detail by means of examples with reference to the following figures:
Figuren 1 bis 10 zeigen eine Bedieneinrichtung in der Regel in verschiedenen Bedienszenarien in der Regel in perspektivischer Darstellung. Figuren 2 und 10 zeigen Schnittdarstellungen.Figures 1 to 10 show an operating device usually in different operating scenarios usually in perspective view. Figures 2 and 10 show sectional views.
Figur 1 zeigt eine Bedieneinrichtung 1 mit einem um eine Rotationsachse (Symmetrieachse, Längsachse) 12 in beide Richtungen drehbaren Drehelement 2 (Drehfreiheitsgrad ist exemplarisch durch Pfeil 11 angedeutet) und mit einem unter dem Drehelement 2 angeordneten Kippelement 3. Die Kipprichtungen 8 und 9 stehen ausgehend vom Grund- oder Ruhezustand im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Rotationsachse 12.1 shows an operating device 1 with a about an axis of rotation (axis of symmetry, longitudinal axis) 12 rotatable in both directions rotary member 2 (rotational degree of freedom is exemplified by arrow 11) and with a disposed below the rotary member 2 tilting 3. The tilting directions 8 and 9 are starting from the basic or resting state substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation 12.
Das Kippelement 3 wirkt in diesem Beispiel derart mit dem Drehelement 2 zusammen, dass ein Kippen des Kippelementes 3 ein Kippen des Drehelementes 2 (Kipp-Drehelement) in die gleiche Kipprichtung bewirkt und umge- kehrt (Kippen des Drehelementes 2 bewirkt Kippen des Kippelementes 3 in die gleiche Kipprichtung). Das Kippelement 3 ist dabei vorzugsweise nicht drehbar ausgeführt.The tilting element 3 cooperates in this example with the rotary element 2 such that a tilting of the tilting element 3 causes the rotary element 2 (tilting rotary element) to tilt in the same tilting direction and vice versa. returns (tilting of the rotary member 2 causes tilting of the tilting element 3 in the same tilting direction). The tilting element 3 is preferably designed to be non-rotatable.
Das Kippelement 3 ragt in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Rotationsachse 12 des Drehelementes 2 unter dem Drehelement 2 hervor. Der maximale Durchmesser des Kippelementes 3 ist größer als der maximale Durchmesser des Drehelementes 2. Das Drehelement 2 und/oder das Kippelement 3 weisen senkrecht zur Rotationsachse einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf. Das Kippelement 3 und das Drehelement 2 sind konzentrisch zueinander ausgebildet.The tilting element 3 projects in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation 12 of the rotary element 2 below the rotary element 2. The maximum diameter of the tilting element 3 is greater than the maximum diameter of the rotary element 2. The rotary element 2 and / or the tilting element 3 have a circular cross-section perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The tilting element 3 and the rotary element 2 are formed concentrically with each other.
Die unter dem Drehelement 2 hervorragende, insbesondere ringförmige, O- berseite des Kippelementes 3 weist eine um das Drehelement 2 umlaufende Rille 4 oder Rinne auf, welche als Angriffsfläche dient, um das Kippelement 3 und damit gegebenenfalls das Drehelement 2 in eine gewünschte Richtung zu kippen.The outstanding under the rotary member 2, in particular annular, O- side of the tilting element 3 has a circumferential to the rotary member 2 groove 4 or groove, which serves as an attack surface to tilt the tilting element 3 and thus optionally the rotary member 2 in a desired direction ,
Das Drehelement 2 weist auf der Oberseite eine Mulde 5 auf, welche als Angriffsfläche dient, um das Drehelement 2 und damit das Kippelement 3 in eine gewünschte Richtung zu kippen.The rotary member 2 has on the upper side of a trough 5, which serves as an attack surface to tilt the rotary member 2 and thus the tilting element 3 in a desired direction.
Zudem ist das Drehelement 2 durch eine Kraft auf die Mulde 5 in Richtung (angedeutet durch Pfeil 10) der Rotationsachse 12 drückbar. Das Drehelement 2 ist dann je nach Ausführungsvariante als Druck-Drehelement oder Druck-Kipp-Drehelement ausgeführt.In addition, the rotary member 2 by a force on the trough 5 in the direction (indicated by arrow 10) of the rotation axis 12 can be pressed. The rotary member 2 is then executed depending on the variant as a pressure-rotating element or pressure-tilting rotary member.
Die Mulde 5 auf der Oberseite des Drehelementes hat den Vorteil, dass die betätigenden Finger zur Mitte hin zentriert werden, wo auch die Drückbewegung am besten eingeleitet werden sollte, um Fehlbetätigungen durch ein außermittiges Drücken zu vermeiden. Die Gefahr eines ungewollten Verkip- pens des Drehelementes und damit des Kippelementes beim Drücken wird damit verringert.The trough 5 on the top of the rotary member has the advantage that the actuating fingers are centered towards the center, where the pushing movement should be best initiated to avoid false actuations by off-center pressing. The risk of unwanted tilting Pens of the rotary member and thus the tilting element when pressing is thus reduced.
Das Drehelement 2 ist also um die z-Achse 10 drehbar und in z-Richtung 10 drückbar. Das Kippelement 3 und gegebenenfalls das Drehelement 2 sind in x- und y-Richtung 8,9 und in die jeweils entgegen gesetzte Richtung kippbar.The rotary member 2 is thus rotatable about the z-axis 10 and in the z-direction 10 can be pressed. The tilting element 3 and optionally the rotary element 2 can be tilted in the x and y direction 8, 9 and in the opposite direction.
Das Drehelement 2 ist derart unabhängig von dem Kippelement 3 ausgeführt, dass ein Drücken des Drehelementes 2 kein Drücken des Kippelementes 3 bewirkt. Das Kippelement 3 ist nicht in Richtung Rotationsachse 12 drückbar.The rotary element 2 is designed so independently of the tilting element 3 that pressing the rotary element 2 causes no pressing of the tilting element 3. The tilting element 3 can not be pressed in the direction of the axis of rotation 12.
Das Kippelement 3 ist eingerahmt oder eingebettet in eine Blende 7, die auch Tasten oder Schalter 6 umfassen kann oder daraus gebildet sein kann. Das Kippelement 3 kann auch als Drehelement-Einfassung betrachtet werden.The tilting element 3 is framed or embedded in a diaphragm 7, which may also comprise keys or switches 6 or may be formed therefrom. The tilting element 3 can also be considered as a rotary element enclosure.
Das Kippelement 3 bietet also zusätzliche Angriffsflächen für das Kippen o- der Verschieben des Drehelementes, die gleichzeitig oder alternativ genutzt werden können.The tilting element 3 thus provides additional attack surfaces for the tilting or displacement of the rotary element, which can be used simultaneously or alternatively.
Ein Drehen (des Drehelementes) und ein Kippen (des Kippelementes) kann dabei aus derselben Handhaltung und Fingerstellung heraus ausgeführt werden. Aus dem Zugriff zum Drehen kann, ohne Umgreifen zu müssen, das Kippen bewirkt werden.A turning (of the rotary element) and a tilting (of the tilting element) can be carried out from the same hand position and finger position. From the access to the rotation can, without having to grip, the tilting can be effected.
Figur 2 zeigt eine vereinfachte Schnittdarstellung der Bedieneinrichtung 1 entlang der Rotationsachse 12. Gleiche Bezugszeichen bezeichnen in Figur 2 und weiteren Figuren die entsprechenden Elemente wie in Figur 1. Dabei können die Bedieneinrichtungen oder Elemente verschiedener Figuren identisch sein, müssen aber nicht. Das Drehelement 2 ist durch eine Drückfuge 14 abgesetzt von dem Kippelement 3 gebildet, wobei das Drehelement 2 die Formgebung oder die Kontur des Kippelementes 3 aufnimmt oder fortsetzt. Der zur Rotationsachse 12 senkrechte Durchmesser des Drehelementes 2 nimmt in Druckrichtung oder entlang der Rotationsachse 12 von der Oberseite zur Unterseite des Drehelementes 2 zunächst zu und dann ab. Der zur Rotationsachse 12 senkrechte Durchmesser des Drehelementes 2 entspricht an der Unterseite im Wesentlichen dem zur Rotationsachse senkrechten Durchmesser an der Oberseite des Kippelementes 3.FIG. 2 shows a simplified sectional illustration of the operating device 1 along the axis of rotation 12. The same reference numerals in FIG. 2 and further figures denote the corresponding elements as in FIG. 1. The operating devices or elements of different figures may or may not be identical. The rotary element 2 is offset from the tilting element 3 by a pressing groove 14, wherein the rotary element 2 accommodates or continues the shaping or the contour of the tilting element 3. The vertical to the axis of rotation 12 diameter of the rotary member 2 increases in the printing direction or along the axis of rotation 12 from the top to the bottom of the rotary member 2 initially and then from. The diameter of the rotary element 2 which is perpendicular to the axis of rotation 12 essentially corresponds on the underside to the diameter perpendicular to the axis of rotation at the top side of the tilting element 3.
Das Kippelement 3 und das Drehelement 2 sind um einen gemeinsamen Drehpunkt (Kipppunkt) 13, der durch ein Kugellager oder Kugelgelenk realisiert sein kann, kippbar gelagert. Die seitliche Oberfläche 15 des Kippelementes 3 weist die Gestalt einer Kugelzone auf.The tilting element 3 and the rotary element 2 are tiltably mounted about a common pivot point (tilting point) 13, which may be realized by a ball bearing or ball joint. The lateral surface 15 of the tilting element 3 has the shape of a spherical zone.
Die Pfeile P deuten an, durch welche Kräfte an welchen Angriffspunkten insbesondere ein Kippen des Kippelementes und/oder des Drehelementes bewirkt werden kann. Vorzugsweise liegen die Hauptangriffsflächen in gleicher Entfernung zu dem Kipppunkt oder Drehpunkt 13 (a ist ungefähr gleich b ist ungefähr gleich c). Diese Angriffsflächen bieten also annähernd gleiche Hebelverhältnisse beim Kippen bzw. Verschieben, sind aber durch unterschiedliche Krafteinleitungsorte und -Richtungen bestimmt.The arrows P indicate by which forces at which points of attack in particular a tilting of the tilting element and / or the rotary element can be effected. Preferably, the main engagement surfaces are equidistant from the tipping point or fulcrum 13 (a is approximately equal to b is approximately equal to c). This attack surfaces thus offer approximately the same leverage when tilting or moving, but are determined by different force application locations and directions.
In Figur 3 ist die Bedieneinrichtung 1 von der Seite dargestellt. In der oberen Zone 16 befindet sich das drehbare Drehelement 2 und in der unteren Zone 17 das nicht drehbare Kippelement 3. Beim Kippen des Kippelementes 3 mit oder ohne Kippen des Drehelementes 2 durch eine Kraft auf das Kippelement 2 mit oder ohne Kraft auf das Drehelement 2 wirkt das nicht drehbare Kippelement 2 verdrehhemmend, wodurch ein unbeabsichtigtes Verdrehen und damit eine Fehlbedienung vermieden wird. Die in Figur 4 gezeigte Mulde 5 ist gemäß einer Ausführungsalternative derart ausgeführt, dass sie sich nicht mit dem Drehelement 2 um die Rotationsachse dreht, und dadurch ebenfalls verdrehhemmend wirkt. Unter der drehfesten Mulde kann das Drehelement gedreht werden. Durch eine Kraft auf die Mulde 5 kann aber das Kippelement und/oder das Drehelement gekippt werden.In Figure 3, the operating device 1 is shown from the side. In the upper zone 16 is the rotatable rotary member 2 and in the lower zone 17, the non-rotatable tilting element 3. When tilting the tilting element 3 with or without tilting of the rotary member 2 by a force on the tilting element 2 with or without force on the rotary member. 2 the non-rotatable tilting element 2 acts to prevent rotation, whereby unintentional rotation and thus incorrect operation is avoided. The trough 5 shown in Figure 4 is executed according to an alternative embodiment in such a way that it does not rotate with the rotary member 2 about the axis of rotation, and thereby also acts Verdrehhemmend. Under the rotatable trough, the rotating element can be rotated. By a force on the trough 5 but the tilting element and / or the rotary member can be tilted.
Die Mulde 5 dient als haptische Orientierung, die es dem Benutzer erleichtert, die geometrische Mitte der Bedieneinrichtung 1 zu finden. Zudem wird durch die Mulde 5 das taktile Erlebnis angenehmer gestaltet, wenn mittig gedrückt wird.The trough 5 serves as a haptic orientation, which makes it easier for the user to find the geometric center of the operating device 1. In addition, the tactile experience is made more pleasant by the trough 5 when pressed in the middle.
Durch die Rille 4 wird erreicht, dass die bedienenden Finger beim Drehen des Drehelementes nicht an dem feststehenden Kippelement 3 schleifen, und dennoch durch das starre Kippelement 3 ein unbeabsichtigtes Verdrehen beim Kippen verhindert wird. Die Drehbedienung wird aber durch das Kippelement nicht gestört (Figur 5).Through the groove 4 it is achieved that the operating fingers do not grind against the fixed tilting element 3 when rotating the rotary element, and nevertheless unintentional twisting during tilting is prevented by the rigid tilting element 3. The rotary control is not disturbed by the tilting element (Figure 5).
Eine Verdrehsicherung gegen ungewolltes Drehen beim Kippen ist dennoch umgesetzt, denn beim Kippen des Drehelementes berühren die beteiligten Finger das sich nicht drehende Kippelement (Figur 6).A rotation against accidental rotation when tilting is still implemented, because when tilting the rotary element, the fingers involved touch the non-rotating tilting element (Figure 6).
Figur 7 zeigt eine Bedieneinrichtung 1 , bei der das Drehelement und das Kippelement zusammen nach vorne (gemäß der Orientierung auf den anderen Abbildungen) gekippt sind. Zwischen Drehen und Kippen ist kein Umgreifen erforderlich, der Kraftfluss ist automatisch in der Hand geschlossen, somit auch eine schnellere Bedienung möglich. Beim Verkippen des Drehelementes und damit des Kippelementes ist eine komfortable muskuloskelettale Bedienung gegeben, weil nicht das gesamte Hand-Arm-System an der Kippbewegung beteiligt ist. Vielmehr können die Finger in der für die Drehbewe- gung positionierten Anordnung verbleiben, wenn gekippt werden soll: Denn hierfür ist lediglich ein Drücken auf das Kippelement notwendig. In diesem Fall stellt die Schwerkraft der Hand das Widerlager dar. Die Bewegung kann aber auch durch leichte Unterarmdrehung ausgeführt werden. Weil damit auch kein Umgreifen erforderlich ist, sind komplexere Bedienaktionen, die nicht nur eine Dreh- und Drückbewegung, sondern auch eine Kippbewegung beinhalten, schneller ausführbar.FIG. 7 shows an operating device 1, in which the rotary element and the tilting element are tilted together forwards (according to the orientation on the other figures). No turning is required between turning and tilting, the power flow is automatically closed in the hand, thus also faster operation possible. When tilting the rotary member and thus the tilting element a comfortable musculoskeletal operation is given because not the entire hand-arm system is involved in the tilting movement. Rather, the fingers in the tion positioned arrangement remain when tilting: For this purpose, only a pressing on the tilting element is necessary. In this case, the gravity of the hand represents the abutment. The movement can also be carried out by slight forearm rotation. Because this does not require embracing, more complex operating actions, which include not only a rotating and pushing movement, but also a tilting movement, faster executable.
Figur 8 zeigt, dass das Drehelement in Richtung Rotationsachse relativ zum Kippelement drückbar ist, um beispielsweise einen Menüpunkt auszuwählen.FIG. 8 shows that the rotary element can be pressed in the direction of the axis of rotation relative to the tilting element in order, for example, to select a menu item.
Die Mulde auf dem Drehelement bietet die Möglichkeit, auch hier die Kippbewegung einzuleiten. Weil die Kipprichtungen rechtwinkelig zur Rotationsachse und in den relevanten Angriffsflächen senkrecht zur Umfangsrichtung oder Drehrichtung stehen, wird dabei auch ein unbeabsichtigtes Verdrehen verhindert (Figur 9).The trough on the rotary element offers the possibility to initiate the tilting movement here as well. Because the tilting directions are perpendicular to the axis of rotation and in the relevant attack surfaces perpendicular to the circumferential direction or direction of rotation, an unintentional rotation is prevented (Figure 9).
Die Bedieneinrichtung 1 lässt wenig Interpretationsspielraum bezüglich der mechanischen Freiheitsgrade des Systems. Es ist leicht erkennbar, wie welche Bauteile absolut und relativ zueinander bewegt werden können. Die Bedienmöglichkeiten der Bedieneinrichtung sind vor einer Betätigung deutlich erkennbar:The operating device 1 leaves little room for interpretation with regard to the mechanical degrees of freedom of the system. It is easy to see which components can be moved absolutely and relative to each other. The operating options of the operating device are clearly recognizable before actuation:
- Auf die mögliche Drehbewegung des Drehelementes kann die Gummierung der seitlichen Mantelfläche des Drehelementes hinweisen.- On the possible rotational movement of the rotary element may indicate the rubber coating of the lateral lateral surface of the rotary member.
- Ferner zeigt die Drückfuge zwischen Drehelement und Kippelement und die Mulde an, dass diese beiden Teile axial zueinander bewegt werden können.- Furthermore, the pressure gap between the rotating element and the tilting element and the trough indicates that these two parts can be moved axially relative to each other.
- Dass Drehelement und Kippelement nicht radial zueinander bewegt werden, sondern koaxial bleiben, verdeutlicht der Fuß des Kippelementes, der die Geometrie des unteren Drehelementes fortsetzt (Figur 8).- That the rotating element and tilting element are not moved radially to each other, but remain coaxial, illustrates the foot of the tilting element, which continues the geometry of the lower rotary element (Figure 8).
- Die Kugelzonengestalt des Kippelementes zeigt, dass sich dieses Bauteil kippen lässt. Die an der Außenfläche angebrachten Pfeilsymbole unterstüt- zen diesen Eindruck visuell. Die Geometrie der Kugelzone ist so gewählt, dass der Mittelpunkt der entsprechenden Kugel mit dem Drehpunkt oder Kipppunkt des Kippelementes zusammenfällt.- The spherical zone shape of the tilting element shows that this component can be tilted. The arrow symbols attached to the outer surface This impression visually. The geometry of the ball zone is chosen so that the center of the corresponding ball coincides with the pivot point or tilting point of the tilting element.
Figur 10 zeigt eine vereinfachte Schnittdarstellung einer Bedieneinrichtung 1.FIG. 10 shows a simplified sectional illustration of an operating device 1.
Relativ zu einer auf der Mittelkonsole eines Fahrzeuges angeordneten Trägereinrichtung 134 ist das Kippelement 3 um ein Kugelgelenk 131 kippbar gelagert.Relative to a arranged on the center console of a vehicle support means 134, the tilting element 3 is tiltably mounted about a ball joint 131.
Elastische Silikondome 132 mit integrierten Schaltkontakten ermöglichen eine Erfassung einer Kippbewegung und eine Rückstellung des Kippelementes 3 in einen Grundzustand.Elastic silicone dome 132 with integrated switch contacts allow detection of a tilting movement and a provision of the tilting element 3 in a ground state.
Das Drehelement 2 ist in dem drehfesten Kippelement 3 relativ zum Kippelement um die Rotationsachse 12 drehbar gelagert und mittelbar über das Kippelement 3 ebenfalls um das Kugelgelenk 131 kippbar gelagert.The rotary member 2 is rotatably mounted in the non-rotatable tilting member 3 relative to the tilting member about the rotation axis 12 and indirectly also tiltably mounted about the tilting member 3 to the ball joint 131.
In Richtung Rotationsachse 12 ist das Drehelement 2 relativ zum Kippelement 3 drückbar. Ein relativ zum Kippelement 3 gedrücktes Drehelement 2 wird in an sich bekannter Weise beispielsweise durch eine Feder 135 in den Grundzustand zurück gestellt. Das Drehen und Drücken wird in an sich bekannter Weise beispielsweise mittels entsprechender Schaltkontakte und/oder Zähler (nicht dargestellt) erfasst.Towards the axis of rotation 12, the rotary element 2 can be pressed relative to the tilting element 3. A relative to the tilting element 3 depressed rotary member 2 is set in a conventional manner, for example, by a spring 135 in the ground state back. The rotation and pressing is detected in a manner known per se, for example by means of corresponding switching contacts and / or counters (not shown).
Die seitliche Kontur 133 des Kippelementes 3 entspricht zumindest teilweise der Kontur einer Kugelzone. Dadurch kann das Kippelement 3 beim Kippen in eine mit dieser Kugelzone korrespondierend ausgebildete Blende 136 der Trägereinrichtung gleiten, ohne dass die Spaltbreite zwischen Blende und Kippelement verändert wird. Ist die Bedieneinrichtung beispielsweise am Dach des Kraftfahrzeuges über dem Kopf des Fahrers angeordnet, so kann die Bedieneinrichtung gegenüber den in den Figuren dargestellten Bedieneinrichtungen im 180 Grad gedreht sein, so dass aus dem Begriff "unter" je nach Betrachtungsweise ein "über" werden kann. Selbstverständlich fällt auch eine solche Ausführungsform in den Rahmen der Erfindung.The lateral contour 133 of the tilting element 3 at least partially corresponds to the contour of a spherical zone. As a result, when tilted, the tilting element 3 can slide into a diaphragm 136 of the carrier device that corresponds to this spherical zone, without the gap width between the shutter and the tilting element being changed. If the operating device is arranged, for example, on the roof of the motor vehicle above the driver's head, then the operating device can be rotated 180 degrees relative to the operating devices illustrated in the figures, so that the term "below" can be "over" depending on the point of view. Of course, such an embodiment falls within the scope of the invention.
Vorzugsweise ist die Bedieneinrichtung mit einer Prozessoreinrichtung gekoppelt, wobei die Prozessoreinrichtung derart eingerichtet ist, dass durch das Drehelement und das Kippelement dieselbe fahrzeugtechnische Komponente oder die gleichen fahrzeugtechnischen Komponenten ansprechbar sind. So können beispielsweise durch das Kippelement Menüpunkte (Radio, Heizung oder Navigationssystem) markiert oder ausgewählt (beispielsweise in Kombination mit einem Drücken) werden, und dann entsprechende Parameter (Empfangsfrequenz, Temperatur oder Maßstab) durch das Drehelement geändert werden. Preferably, the operating device is coupled to a processor device, wherein the processor device is set up such that the same vehicle-technical component or the same vehicle-technical components can be addressed by the rotary element and the tilting element. Thus, for example, by the tilting element menu items (radio, heating or navigation system) can be marked or selected (for example, in combination with a press), and then corresponding parameters (reception frequency, temperature or scale) are changed by the rotary element.
