Definitions
- the invention relates to a switching disc with, arranged on the circumference programmable switching fingers, which are integrally connected to the switching disc, and in which the switching fingers are pressed in at least one program position, against the action of a restoring force, behind a locking edge on the switching disc, for actuating a Switching device, for switching time measuring devices, in particular for time switches.
- a switching disc of the type mentioned, in particular for timers, is described in DE-OS 28 13 069.
- This is made of a thermoplastic material spritztecnnisch that nockenarti g en shift finger via thin lamellae are integrally connected to the switching disc, where they are annular for the purpose of programming, against the action of the restoring force in the spring-elastic lamella, axially behind a Locking edge pressed on the switching disc to actuate electrical contacts of a fixed switching device.
- This switching disk requires a relatively complex tool insert for its manufacture.
- the economically achievable width or division of the individual shift fingers to one another, which determine the gradation of two switching commands in the programming, is relatively large, so that the switching intervals that can be programmed there often do not meet the requirements.
- the invention has for its object to design the aforementioned switching disc so that it is not only efficient and economical to manufacture, but is also provided or can be provided with shift fingers, the division of which is small, which are therefore finely programmable in time. In doing so it must be ensured that both the programming of the individual shift fingers and their deletion can be carried out individually or as a whole shift program, ie the reset of the shift fingers into the starting position, acting individually and also centrally on all shift fingers.
- this object is achieved in that the switching disc is made of a flexible film, that the periphery of the switching disc is provided with incisions which have a certain, in particular equal division, that the exposed between the incisions, connected on one side to the switching disc , Shift fingers for programming purposes can be pressed with their free end behind a coaxially arranged, annular locking disk.
- the switching disk can there be made of a metal or a plastic film and have a thickness of approximately 0.3 to 0.6 mm.
- the shift fingers exposed on the circumference due to the incisions, in particular radiating from the center of the switching disc can be arranged very closely to one another in the division, so that there at a division of approx. 0.3 mm, based on a diameter of the switching disc of 65 mm , sufficiently fine-level subdivision can be achieved, which corresponds to a programmable switching interval of two switching commands of 15 minutes, based on a speed of the switching disc of one U / week.
- the programmed switching fingers for actuating a switching device can be scanned there mechanically via a switching mechanism, or directly electrically via a grinder or electronically, in particular optoelectronically via a light barrier.
- This switching disc is not only the simple, rational and economical production in a stamping or injection molding process, in particular when the switching disc is made of a plastic, but the sufficiently small size that can be achieved there Division of the individual shift fingers to each other and the thus achievable fine-step programming.
- Another advantage is the simple programming of the shift fingers, which are simply pressed there with their free end by means of a pin-like auxiliary tool behind a locking ring. To delete the programming, in particular the entire program, the locking ring can be pressed axially downward, so that the release of the shift fingers is achieved, which spring back into the disk-level starting position under the effect of their own restoring torque.
- the switching disc 1 consists of a flexible film made of a metallic material or of a plastic and can expediently have a thickness of approximately 0.3 to 0.6 mm.
- the circumference of the switching disc 1 is relatively fine, i.e. with small pitches in the order of 0.3 to 2.5 mm with incisions 2.
- the incisions 2 expose lamella-like switching fingers 3, which are integrally connected to the switching disc 1 on one side.
- the incisions 2 are there with a diameter of the switching disc 1 of about 60 mm, about 4 to 5 mm long. This length therefore also corresponds to the free length of the shift finger 3.
- the incisions 3 can there be free of play, i.e. be produced without material removal. However, it is expedient to provide a small air gap between the individual shift fingers 3 in the area of the incisions 2, which in particular can extend over the entire incision depth.
- the flexible film of the switching disc 1 is resilient. It is to be ensured there that the unloaded rest position of the shift fingers 3 extends flush to the switching disk 1.
- the switching disc 1 with the switching fingers 3 can be manufactured by punching. However, there is also provision for this to be produced by injection molding from a plastic.
- the switching disc 1 as shown in FIG. 2 is supported thereon on a so-called locking ring 4 with the switching finger E rn 3.
- the locking ring 4 can circulate there with the switching disk 1, which, if necessary, can be arranged in a stationary manner with respect to the latter.
- the spatial The arrangement of the switching disc 1 to the locking ring 4 shows in FIG. 2 the unprogrammed state of the switching finger 3 of the switching disc 1 to the locking ring 4.
- the switching fingers 3 are pressed behind the inner lower edge 5 of the locking ring 4 in accordance with the switching program. This is visible in FIG. 3.
- the switching fingers 3 can be programmed there with a pointed pen, a pencil or a ballpoint pen or with a special device which can be arranged in particular on the respective time switch measuring device to be programmed.
- Such a programming device is designated by the number 6.
- the programming device 6 can be rotatably arranged there in the region of the circumference of the switching disc 1 or the locking ring 4. Further details about such a programming device 6 are described in more detail in one of the following figures.
- shift fingers 3 programmed there.
- These shift fingers 3, as shown in FIG. 5, can be mechanically scanned directly by a touch finger 7 of a switching mechanism (not shown in more detail).
- the switching disc 1 rotates with the switching fingers 3 past the touch finger 7.
- electrical contacts can be actuated via the switching mechanism coupled therewith. It is up to the respective application whether the programmed, i.e. the shift fingers 3 located under the locking ring 4, a switching function, and the unprogrammed switching fingers 3 located on the top of the locking ring 4, a switching function, or vice versa.
- the shift fingers 3 are electrically scanned by means of a grinder 8. This scanning can take place there directly, in this case the switching fingers 3 are electrically conductive, or indirectly, as FIG. 6 shows in more detail. In the latter case, the grinder 8 closes a hentakt 9 when acted upon by one of the switching fingers 3. However, it can also switch this contact 9.
- the switching fingers 3 are scanned exclusively optoelectronically.
- 7 shows a so-called reflection light barrier 10 with a light transmitter 14 and a light receiver 15, which scan the programmed switching fingers 3 on the switching disc 1.
- a reflective surface 11 can be provided on the underside of the shift finger 3. 12 there designates a corresponding slit mask.
- the switching fingers 3 of the switching disc 1 are scanned by means of transmitted light.
- the shift fingers 3 are coated opaque. Only the programmed switching fingers 3 can allow the light beam 13 of the light transmitter 14 to reach the light receiver 15 via a slit mask 12.
- the locking ring 4 is translucent there in this case.
- FIG. 9 shows a programming device 6 in detail, as was already indicated in one of the earlier figures.
- programming pins 17 actuated by keys 16, which are in particular adjacent to one another, act on the shift fingers 3.
- the key on the front of the switching disc 1 is provided for programming and the key 16, which acts via a programming pin 17 on the rear of the switching disc 1, is intended to delete a programmed switching finger 3.
- the programming device 6 can be arranged there in a fixed position on the respective device and, in particular, can be rotatably mounted to the switching disk 1. However, it is also provided that such a programming device 6 is designed to be portable so that it can be placed on the respective device for the purpose of programming or deleting a switching program.
- a switching disc 1 shows a switching disc 1 with a dial 18 and a corresponding dial division for a speed of the switching disc 1 of one rev / week.
- the shift fingers 3 are there, correspondingly fine-tuned, that is, with a small pitch to each other forms and arranged.
- a locking ring 4 is provided in this embodiment, which can be composed of seven individual segments 19. These individual segments 19 can be coupled to one another in a ring-locking manner. Each individual segment 19 can be axially loaded, in particular manually, for the purpose of deleting the switching program.
- the individual elements 19 are axially supported by springs.
- These individual segments 19 are known in their sectoral breadth, for example, to correspond to the program area of a day, which corresponds to 12 hours or one hour. In this case, it is necessary to create a coincidence between the switching disc and the respective segment, in particular if the locking ring 4 is arranged in a fixed position with respect to the switching disc 1 with the switching fingers 3. An inevitably carried locking ring 4 does not require the aforementioned setting.
- FIG. 11 shows an embodiment of a switching disk 1 on a time switch.
- switching fingers and 4 denotes a locking ring.
- the switching disk 1 is mounted on a shaft 20 which is driven in a time-keeping manner.
- 21 there means an analog pointer mechanism arranged coaxially to the switching disc 1 with a minute hand 22 and an hour hand 23.
- the switching disc 1 can, in particular, be designed to be rotatable as a ring around the pointer mechanism 21.
- the front locking ring 4 can be made transparent to ensure the view of a dial on the switching disc 1.
- 10 denotes an optoelectronic switching device for scanning the switching fingers 3.
- a so-called endless belt is provided as a carrier for the switching finger 3 formed there in particular by cuts 2 on one side.
- the shift fingers 3 are pressed there for the purpose of programming and, depending on the programming requirement, on one or the other side of a, in particular, stationary guide rail 24.
- the guide rail 24 is axially displaceable for the purpose of deleting the program.
- the locking ring 4 can form a unit with a housing of a corresponding time switch and is connected in one piece to it.
