Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Mehrfach-Funktionsschalter für elektrische Geräte insbesondere Haarpflegegeräte mit einem am Gehäuse gelagerten Betätigungsteil, welches gegenüber dem Gerätegehäuse sowohl axial verschiebbar als auch um eine im Gerätegehäuse verlaufende Drehachse verdrehbar angeordnet ist, wobei das Betätigungsteil mit dem Bedienknopf eines elektrischen Schiebeschalters verbunden und außerdem mit einem weiteren elektrischen Bauteil gekoppelt ist.The invention relates to a multi-function switch for electrical devices, in particular hair care devices, with an actuating part mounted on the housing, which is both axially displaceable relative to the device housing and rotatable about an axis of rotation running in the device housing, the actuating part being connected to the control button of an electrical slide switch and also is coupled to another electrical component.

Mehrfach-Funktionsschalter sind in der Technik ganz allgemein gebräuchlich. Bei Kraftwagen wird zum Beispiel vielfach der Schalter, durch den mittels einer Schwenkbewegung eines Schalthebels die Blinkleuchten wechselseitig betätigbar sind, derart ausgebildet, daß durch Kippen des Schalthebels quer zu seiner Schwenkrichtung die Lichthupe und eine akustische Hupe betätigbar sind.Multiple function switches are very common in technology. In motor vehicles, for example, the switch by which the turn signal lights can be actuated alternately by means of a pivoting movement of a shift lever is designed in such a way that the flasher and an acoustic horn can be actuated by tilting the shift lever transversely to its pivoting direction.

So ist beispielsweise ein'elektrischer Schnurschalter bekannt (DT - OS 2 238 363) mit einem rohrförmigen, Einführungsöffnungen für Kabel aufweisenden Gehäuse zur Unterbringung der elektrischen und/oder elektronischen Einrichtungen sowie mit einem diese beeinflussenden Betätigungsglied wobei ein Mehrzweckbetätigungsglied vorgesehen ist, welches wahlweise verschiebbar ist und mit unterschiedlichen Einrichtungen des Schnürschalters zusammenwirkt. Das Mehrzweckbetätigungsglied ist dabei als Ringkörper ausgebildet, der die Trennfuge des quergeteilten und aus zwei zusammenfügbaren Rohrkörpern bestehenden Gehäuse überdeckt.For example, an electrical cord switch is known (DT-OS 2 238 363) with a tubular housing having insertion openings for cables for accommodating the electrical and / or electronic devices and with an actuating element influencing it, a multi-purpose actuating element being provided which can be moved as desired and cooperates with different devices of the lace switch. The multi-purpose actuator is designed as an annular body that covers the parting line of the cross-divided housing consisting of two pipe bodies that can be joined together.

Nachteilig bei diesem bekannten Schnurschalter ist die Anordnung eines mit einem Ringkörper zusammenwirkenden auf einen einstufigen Mikroschalter einwirkenden Schaltschiebers, der im Gehäuse nur montierbar ist, wenn das Gehäuse eine quer zu seiner Längsrichtung verlaufende Trennfuge aufweist. Darüber hinaus ist auch das Betätigungsteil in Gestalt eines geschlossenen Ringkörpers nur bei Schnurschaltern sinnvoll; an Griffteilen von Handhaartrocknern dagegen begrenzt der Ringkörper die Länge des von der Hand umgriffenen Teils.A disadvantage of this known cord switch is the arrangement of a slide switch interacting with a ring body and acting on a single-stage microswitch, which can only be mounted in the housing if the housing has a separating joint running transversely to its longitudinal direction. In addition, the actuating part is in the form of a closed ring body only makes sense with cord switches; on the other hand, on ring parts of hand hair dryers, the ring body limits the length of the part gripped by the hand.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde einen Mehrfach-Funktionsschalter zu schaffen, der mit dem Finger der Hand betätigbar ist, die gleichzeitig den Griffteil des Gerätegehäuses umfaßt. Das Betätigungsteil des Mehrfach-Funktionsschalters soll außerdem besonders leichtgängig sein und sich derart den äußeren Konturen des Gerätegehäuses anpassen, daß nur der Bedienknopf nach außen zu hervorsteht.The present invention has for its object to provide a multi-function switch that can be operated with the finger of the hand, which also includes the handle portion of the device housing. The actuating part of the multiple function switch should also be particularly smooth and adapt to the outer contours of the device housing in such a way that only the control button protrudes outwards.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß die Innenwandung des Griffteils zumindest partiell kreiszylindrisch ausgebildet ist, wobei im Bereich der kreiszylindrischen Ausformung ein schalenförmiges Betätigungsteil in den Griffteil eingelegt ist, dessen Außenwand kreiszylindrisch ausgeformt und dabei der Kreiszylindrischen Ausformung des Griffteils angepaßt ist und wobei das Betätigungsteil mit einem Bedienknopf ausgestattet ist, der durch eine Ausnehmung in der Griffteilwandung nach außen zu hindurchragt und mit einer Innenverzahnung versehen ist, die mit dem als Zahnwalze ausgebildeten Stellglied eines elektrischen Bauteils zusammenwirkt, das im Inneren des Griffteils fest angeordnet ist und außerdem an seiner Innenseite einen sich radial nach innen zu erstreckenden Steg aufweist, der mit dem Schiebeglied eines elektrischen Schalters gekoppelt ist, der im Inneren des Griffteils gelagert ist.According to the invention, this is achieved in that the inner wall of the handle part is at least partially circular-cylindrical, a shell-shaped actuating part being inserted into the handle part in the region of the circular cylindrical shape, the outer wall of which is shaped as a circular cylinder and thereby being adapted to the circular cylindrical shape of the handle part, and the actuating part being included an operating button is equipped which protrudes through a recess in the handle part wall to the outside and is provided with an internal toothing which interacts with the actuator of an electrical component which is designed as a toothed roller and which is fixedly arranged in the interior of the handle part and is also one on the inside Has radially inwardly extending web which is coupled to the sliding member of an electrical switch which is mounted in the interior of the handle part.

Vorzugsweise sind das mit einer Zahnwalze als Stellglied ausgestattete elektrische Bauteil und das Schiebeglied des Schalters im Abstand von dem kreiszylindrischen Teil der Innenwandung des Griffteils angeordnet, wobei der Abstand etwa dem halben Außendurchmesser des verschiebbar und verdrehbar gelagerten Betätigungsteils entspricht und die Drehachse der Zahnwalze parallel der Längsachse des Griffteils verläuft. Um zu gewährleisten, daß das Zusammenwirken des Betätigungsteils mit den elektrischen Bauteilen besonders feinfühlig erfolgt, sind das elektrische Bauteil mit Zahnwalze als Stellglied und der als Schiebeschalter ausgebildete Schalter im Inneren des Griffteils auf einer Leiterplatte angeordnet, wobei die Drehachse der Zahnwalze und die Bewegungsachse des Schiebeglieds einander Parallel verlaufen.The electrical component equipped with a toothed roller as an actuator and the sliding member of the switch are preferably arranged at a distance from the circular-cylindrical part of the inner wall of the handle part, the distance corresponding approximately to half the outer diameter of the displaceably and rotatably mounted actuating part and the axis of rotation of the toothed roller parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle runs. In order to ensure that the interaction of the actuating part with the electrical components takes place particularly sensitively, the electrical component with a toothed roller as an actuator and the switch designed as a slide switch are arranged on the inside of the handle part on a printed circuit board, the axis of rotation of the toothed roller and the axis of movement of the slide member run parallel to each other.

Die Erfindung läßt die verschiedensten Ausführungsmöglichkeiten zu. Eine davon ist in den anhängenden Zeichnungen wiedergegeben. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 den Längsschnitt durch einen Haartrockner
  • Fig. 2 der Haartrockner gemäß Fig. 1 von der Lufteinlaßseite her gesehen, und
  • Fig. 3 bis 5 verschiedene Ansichten des Betätigungsteils.
The invention allows a wide variety of design options. One of them is shown in the attached drawings. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 shows the longitudinal section through a hairdryer
  • Fig. 2 seen the hair dryer of FIG. 1 from the air inlet side, and
  • 3 to 5 different views of the actuating part.

Der Handhaartrockner besteht im wesentlichen aus den beiden Gehäuseschalen 1 und 2, der die Gehäuseschale 1 nach hinten zu abschließenden perforierten Kappe 3, dem Heizregister 4, dem Motor 5 mit Lüfterrad 6 und dem Luftauslaßgitter 7. Im Griffteil G sind die elektrische Leiterplatte 8 mit dem auf ihr befestigten Schalter 9 und andere zur Regelung des Motors 5 und des Heizregisters 4 notwendigen elektrischen Bauteilen 10, 11, 12 angeordnet. Die Innenwandung 14 des aus den Gehäuseschalen 1 und 2 gebildeten Griffteils G weist eine kreiszylindrische Form auf, wobei im Bereich des Schalters 9 ein schalenförmiges Betätigungsteil 15 mit Bedienknopf 16 so gelagert ist, daß das Betätigungsteil 15 sowohl in Pfeilrichtung P, d.h. in Griffteillängsrichtung verschiebbar, als auch um die Längsachse L verschwenkbar ist.The hand hair dryer consists essentially of the two housing shells 1 and 2, the housing shell 1 to the rear to be closed perforated cap 3, the heating register 4, the motor 5 with fan wheel 6 and the air outlet grille 7. In the handle part G, the electrical circuit board 8 with the attached to it Switches 9 and other electrical components 10, 11, 12 necessary for regulating the motor 5 and the heating register 4 are arranged. The inner wall 14 of the handle part G formed from the housing shells 1 and 2 has a circular cylindrical shape, in the area of the switch 9 a shell-shaped actuating part 15 with an operating button 16 is mounted such that the actuating part 15 can be displaced both in the direction of arrow P, ie in the longitudinal direction of the handle part, and can also be pivoted about the longitudinal axis L.

Das Betätigungsteil 15 ist ein halbschalenförmiges Teil, dessen gebogene Innenseite 17 mit einer Rippe 18 versehen ist, die eine Verzahnung 20 aufweist, die in eine entsprechende Zahnwalze 21 eingreift, die ihrerseits am elektrischen Bauteil 11 drehbar gelagert ist und der Verstellung des elektrischen Werts dieses Bauteils 11 dient. Parallel der Rippe 18 ist ein Steg 19 vorgesehen, der in den Schlitz 22 einfaßt, der am Schiebeglied 23 des Schalters 9 vorhanden ist.The actuating part 15 is a half-shell-shaped part, the curved inner side 17 of which is provided with a rib 18 which has a toothing 20 which engages in a corresponding toothed roller 21 which in turn is rotatably mounted on the electrical component 11 and the adjustment of the electrical value of this component 11 serves. In parallel with the rib 18, a web 19 is provided which fits into the slot 22 which is present on the sliding member 23 of the switch 9.

Wird nun das Betätigungsteil 15 um die Längsachse L des Griffteils G über den Bedienknopf 16 verschwenkt, so dreht sich gegensinnig die Zahnwalze 21-und verstellt den Wert des elektrischen Bauteils 11, beispielsweise eines Potentiometers. Unabhängig von der Verstellung des Potentiometers bzw. des elektrischen Bauteils 11 läßt sich auch gleichzeitig der Schalter 9 betätigen, indem das halbschalenförmige Betätigungsteil 15 in Pfeilrichtung P oder entgegen der Pfeilrichtung P verschoben wird.If the actuating part 15 is now pivoted about the longitudinal axis L of the grip part G via the operating button p f 16, the toothed roller 21 rotates in opposite directions and adjusts the value of the electrical component 11, for example a potentiometer. Irrespective of the adjustment of the potentiometer or of the electrical component 11, the switch 9 can also be actuated at the same time by moving the half-shell-shaped actuating part 15 in the direction of arrow P or counter to the direction of arrow P.

Es ist klar, daß für die Verschwenk- bzw. die Verschiebebewegung des Betätigungsteils 15 im Inneren des Griffteils G ausreichend Platz vorhanden sein muß, weshalb die elektrische Leiterplatte 8 so ins Gehäuseteil 1 in der Nut 24 des Luftleitringes 25 gehalten und derart ausgeformt ist, daß ein Spalt 26 zwischen der Innen- - wandung 14 und der hinteren.Kante 26 der elektrischen Leiterplatte 8 verbleibt. Ein Vorsprung 27 an der Gehäuseschale 2 im Bereich des Griffteils G bewirkt außerdem, daß die Leiterplatte 8 nicht in Griffteillängsrichtung verrutschen kann. Das Betätigungsteil 15 ist auf seiner Außenseite mit einer schmalen Ausbuchtung 28 versehen, die als Index dient und so eine leichte Ablesbarkeit der jeweiligen Stellung des Betätigungsteils 15 gegenüber der Skala 29 gestattet.It is clear that sufficient space must be available for the pivoting or shifting movement of the actuating part 15 inside the handle part G, which is why the electrical circuit board 8 is held in the housing part 1 in the groove 24 of the air guide ring 25 and is shaped in such a way that a gap 26 remains between the inner wall 14 and the rear edge 26 of the electrical circuit board 8. A projection 27 on the housing shell 2 in the region of the handle part G also has the effect that the printed circuit board 8 cannot slip in the longitudinal direction of the handle part. The actuating part 15 is provided on its outside with a narrow bulge 28 which serves as an index and thus allows the respective position of the actuating part 15 to be read easily relative to the scale 29.

Der besondere Vorteil der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsform der Erfindung besteht nun darin, daß durch Verschieben und/oder Verschwenken des Betätigungsteils 15 sowohl die Temperatur-Einstellung als auch die Gebläsedrehzahl von Hand gesteuert werden kann, ohne daß die Hand ihre Lage am Griffteil G verändern muß. Nach dem Umfassen des Griffteils G liegt der Daumen der Griffhand fast zwangsläufig am Bedienknopf 16 an und kann diesen zusammen mit dem Betätigungsteil 15 verschieben und/oder verschwenken.The particular advantage of the embodiment of the invention shown in the drawing is that by moving and / or pivoting the actuating part 15, both the temperature setting and the fan speed can be controlled by hand without the hand changing its position on the grip part G. got to. After gripping the grip part G, the thumb of the grip hand is almost inevitably in contact with the operating button 16 and can move and / or pivot it together with the actuating part 15.
