Abstract

The rotary switch has a rotatable knob (1) which is rotated about an axis for operation of a rotary switching device. The knob is snap-fitted to a housing (2) from which it can be released by deflecting it sidewards relative to the housing. The releasable coupling between the knob and the housing is provided by a spring edge (4) and an opposing rigid edge (5) projecting outwards at the base of the knob, for engaging behind the opposing side edges of a locating opening provided by the housing.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Drehschaltvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a rotary switching device with the Features of the preamble of claim 1.

Als Stand der Technik sind Handhaben zur anwenderfreundlichen Bedienung von Drehschaltern bekannt, welche durch ein oder mehrere ringförmige Teile z.B. in Form einer Überwurfmutter am Schaltergehäuse der Drehschaltvorrichtung angebracht sind. Bei aus Kunststoff bestehenden Drehschaltvorrichtungen werden auch Handhaben mit Schnappverbindungen zur Anbringung am Schaltergehäuse verwendet.As state of the art, handles are user-friendly Operation of rotary switches known, which by or several ring-shaped parts e.g. in the form of a union nut are attached to the switch housing of the rotary switching device. With rotary switching devices made of plastic also handle with snap connections for attachment to Switch housing used.

Aus der US 5,687,834 ist ferner eine Handhabe bekannt, welche über einen Sprengring mit verstellbarem Durchmesser entsprechend dem jeweils eingestellten Durchmesser am Gehäuse der Drehschaltvorrichtung fixiert oder von letzterem abnehmbar ist.From US 5,687,834 a handle is also known, which via a snap ring with an adjustable diameter the respectively set diameter on the housing of the Rotary switching device fixed or removable from the latter is.

Die genannten Handhaben sind konstruktiv aufwendig gestaltet und können sich bei Betätigung unbeabsichtigt vom Gehäuse lösen.The handles mentioned are structurally complex and can accidentally detach from the housing when actuated.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Drehschaltvorrichtung anzubieten, deren Handhabe und Gehäuse vereinfacht aufgebaut und zuverlässig verbindbar sind.The invention has for its object a rotary switching device offer, the handling and housing simplified are built and reliably connectable.

Die Erfindung wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 in Verbindung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung werden durch die Unteransprüche 2 bis 10 realisiert.The invention is characterized by the features of the Part of claim 1 in connection with the features of the generic term solved. Advantageous embodiments of the Invention are realized by subclaims 2 to 10.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Drehschaltvorrichtung werden Handhabe und Gehäuse ohne separate weitere Teile miteinander verbunden. Zur Ablösung der Handhabe vom Gehäuse der Drehschaltvorrichtung ist die Handhabe in seitlicher Richtung (insbesondere radial) zur Drehachse der Drehschaltvorrichtung gegenüber deren Gehäuse verschiebbar, wodurch die Verbindung zwischen Handhabe und Gehäuse gelöst und eine Abnahme der Handhabe vom Gehäuse ermöglicht wird.In the rotary switching device according to the invention handle and housing connected together without separate additional parts. For detaching the handle from the housing of the rotary switching device is the handle in the lateral direction (in particular radial) to the axis of rotation of the rotary switching device whose housing is slidable, which makes the connection loosened between handle and housing and a decrease in Handle from the housing is made possible.

Eine derartige Kraftbeanspruchung der Handhabe in seitlicher Richtung tritt beim üblichen Betrieb der Drehschaltvorrichtung nicht auf, so daß ein unbeabsichtigtes Ablösen der Handhabe vom Gehäuse zuverlässig unterbunden wird.Such a load on the handle in the lateral Direction occurs during normal operation of the rotary switching device not on, so that an unintentional detachment of the handle is reliably prevented by the housing.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Drehschaltvorrichtung besitzt diese ein federnd ausgebildetes Verbindungselement, welches entweder an der Handhabe oder am Gehäuse angebracht ist, und welches bei radialer Verschiebung der Handhabe gegenüber dem Gehäuse federnd nachgibt.In an advantageous embodiment of the rotary switching device it has a resilient connecting element, which is attached either to the handle or to the housing is, and which with radial displacement of the handle yields resiliently to the housing.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist ein weiteres starres Verbindungselement vorgesehen, welches bei seitlicher Verschiebung der Handhabe gegenüber dem Gehäuse außer Eingriff gerät, so daß die Handhabe durch eine Kippbewegung von Gehäuse abgenommen und damit z.B. zum Austausch von in der Drehschaltvorrichtung auf genommenen Leuchtmitteln demontiert werden kann.In a further advantageous embodiment is another rigid connecting element provided, which at lateral displacement of the handle relative to the housing disengaged so that the handle by a tilting movement removed from the housing and thus e.g. in return of lamps in the rotary switching device can be dismantled.

Um eine z.B. sicherheitstechnisch geforderte Abdichtung zwischen Gehäuse und angebrachter Handhabe zu erreichen, sind Handhabe und Gehäuse mit korrespondierenden Dichtflächen mit dazwischen angebrachtem Dichtelement ausgestattet. Das Dichtelement kann als Axial-Rotations-Dichtung ausgebildet sein.For example required sealing between The housing and the attached handle must be reached Handle and housing with corresponding sealing surfaces fitted sealing element in between. The sealing element can be designed as an axial rotation seal.

Bei der seitlichen Verschiebung der Handhabe gegenüber dem Gehäuse gleiten die korrespondierenden Dichtflächen aufeinander ab, ohne daß eine Beschädigung des Dichtelements stattfindet. With the lateral displacement of the handle compared to the Housing the corresponding sealing surfaces slide on each other without damaging the sealing element.

In der Handhabe und/oder im Gehäuse können bereichsweise Ausnehmungen oder Vorsprünge zur Anbringung des oder der Verbindungselemente vorgesehen sein, so die Handhabe nur in einer bestimmten Winkelposition gegenüber dem Gehäuse angebracht und zum Eingriff gebracht werden kann, wodurch eine weitere Sicherung vor unbeabsichtigter Demontage erreicht wird.Recesses can be made in some areas in the handle and / or in the housing or projections for attaching the connecting element or elements be provided, so the handle only in one certain angular position attached to the housing and can be brought into engagement, making another Protection against unintentional disassembly is achieved.

FIG 1 zeigt eine Drehschaltervorrichtung (Drehschalter) mit einem Gehäuse 2 und einer darauf montierten Handhabe 1. Das Gehäuse 2 weist ferner einen Montagebereich 11 zur Anbringung des Drehschalters in einem nicht abgebildeten Schaltschrank auf.1 shows a rotary switch device (rotary switch) with a housing 2 and a handle mounted thereon 1. Das Housing 2 also has a mounting area 11 for attachment the rotary switch in a control cabinet, not shown on.

In der Schnittdarstellung gemäß FIG 2 besitzt die Handhabe 1 ein federndes Verbindungselement 4 und ein starres Verbindungselement 5, welche im abgebildeten montierten Zustand einen Vorsprung 10 und eine Ausnehmung 9 des Gehäuses 2 formschlüssig zur Arretierung der Handhabe 1 auf dem Gehäuse 2 umfassen.In the sectional view according to FIG. 2, the handle 1 a resilient connecting element 4 and a rigid connecting element 5, which in the assembled state shown Projection 10 and a recess 9 of the housing 2 in a form-fitting manner for locking the handle 1 on the housing 2 include.

Das Verbindungselement 4 und/oder das Verbindungselement 5 können auch einzeln oder gemeinsam am Gehäuse 2 angebracht sein und im Sinne einer kinematischen Umkehr korrespndierende Ausnehmungen und Vorsprünge an der Handhabe 1 umgreifen (nicht abgebildet).The connecting element 4 and / or the connecting element 5 can also be attached individually or together on the housing 2 be and corresponding in the sense of a kinematic reversal Grip the recesses and protrusions on the handle 1 (not illustrated).

Wegen der formschlüssigen Umgreifung der Ausnehmung 9 und des Vorsprungs 10 des Gehäuses 2 durch die Verbindungselemente 5 und 4 der Handhabe 1 kann keine unbeabsichtigte Demontage der Handhabe 1 bei einer axialen Zugbelastung der Handhabe 1 auftreten. Da zur Demontage der Handhabe 1 vom Gehäuse 2 die in den FIG 3 bis 5 gezeigte Verschiebung der Handhabe 1 in seitlicher Verschieberichtung 12 gegenüber der Drehachse 3 des Drehschalters erforderlich ist, wird mit hoher Sicherheit eine unbeabsichtigte Ablösung der Handhabe 1 vom Gehäuse 2 vermieden.Because of the positive engagement of the recess 9 and Projection 10 of the housing 2 through the connecting elements 5th and 4 of the handle 1 can not unintentionally dismantle the Handle 1 occur with an axial tensile load on the handle 1. Since the removal of the handle 1 from the housing 2 in 3 to 5 shown displacement of the handle 1 in the lateral Direction of displacement 12 with respect to the axis of rotation 3 of the Rotary switch is required will be a high security unintentional detachment of the handle 1 from the housing 2 avoided.

Aus der Bildsequenz der FIG 3 bis 5 geht eine Abnahme (Demontage) der Handhabe 1 vom Gehäuse 2 durch deren Verschiebung in seitlicher (radialer) Verschieberichtung 12 zur Drehachse 3 des Drehschalters gegenüber dem Gehäuse 2 hervor. Dabei wird gemäß FIG 3 das federnde Verbindungselement 4 elastisch im Biegebereich 13 gebogen, wodurch gleichzeitig das starre Verbindungselement 5 die formschlüssige Verbindung und damit die Umgreifung der Ausnehmung 9 des Gehäuses 2 löst.From the image sequence in FIGS. 3 to 5, a decrease (disassembly) the handle 1 from the housing 2 by moving it in the lateral (radial) displacement direction 12 to the axis of rotation 3 of the rotary switch opposite the housing 2. there 3, the resilient connecting element 4 becomes elastic bent in the bending area 13, whereby the rigid Connecting element 5 the positive connection and thus the grip around the recess 9 of the housing 2 releases.

Durch eine Kippbewegung in Kipprichtung 14 kann nun die Handhabe 1 gemäß FIG 4 zunächst aus dem Gehäuse 2 herausgekippt und dann in Abnahmerichtung 15 (im wesentlichen parallel zur Drehachse 3) gemäß FIG 5 vom Gehäuse 2 vollständig abgezogen werden.The handle can now be moved by a tilting movement in the tilting direction 14 1 first tilted out of the housing 2 and then in decrease direction 15 (essentially parallel to 5 completely withdrawn from the housing 2 as shown in FIG become.

FIG 6 zeigt die Handhabe 1 mit Dichtfläche 6 und federndem Verbindungselement 4 sowie starrem Verbindungselement 5. Korrespondierend zu FIG 6 bildet FIG 7 die Dichtfläche 7 des Gehäuses 2 mit eingelegtem Dichtelement 8 ab. Das Gehäuse 2 weist eine bereichsweise umlaufende Ausnehmung 9 und einen bereichsweise angeordneten Vorsprung 10 zur jeweiligen Umgreifung durch die Verbindungselemente 5 und 4 auf. 6 shows the handle 1 with sealing surface 6 and resilient Connecting element 4 and rigid connecting element 5. Corresponding 6, FIG 7 forms the sealing surface 7 of the housing 2 with inserted sealing element 8. The housing 2 has a recess 9 and a circumferential area regionally arranged projection 10 for each encompassing through the connecting elements 5 and 4.

Dabei liegen die korrespondierenden Dichtflächen 6 und 7 der Handhabe 1 und des Gehäuses 2 im montierten Zustand aufeinander und gleiten über das Dichtelement 8 (z.B. eine Axial-Rotations-Dichtung) bei einer Betätigung also Drehung der Handhabe 1 abgedichtet aufeinander ab.The corresponding sealing surfaces 6 and 7 of the Handle 1 and the housing 2 in the assembled state on top of each other and slide over the sealing element 8 (e.g. an axial rotation seal) when actuated, the rotation of the Handle 1 sealed off from each other.

Der Vorsprung 10 kann in radialer Richtung Vertiefungen (Ausnehmungen) aufweisen, in welche das Verbindungselement 4 im montierten Zustand eingreift, so daß das Verbindungselement 4 mit der Handhabe 1 nur in einer definierten Winkelposition am Gehäuse 2 angebracht werden kann (nicht abgebildet).The projection 10 can have recesses (recesses) in the radial direction. have, in which the connecting element 4 in assembled state engages so that the connecting element 4th with the handle 1 only in a defined angular position on Housing 2 can be attached (not shown).
