Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control element for a motor vehicle, in particular a multi-directional tilting joystick, with a control knob, located in a housing of the control element bearing for the control knob, a permanently connected to the control knob extension, attached to the extension first permanent magnet and a fixed in the housing second permanent magnet, wherein the permanent magnets form a pair of permanent magnets and in a central position of the control knob unequal poles of the magnets are spaced from each other.
  • Tilting controls are used in motor vehicles where several functions can be performed by means of a control element. Examples include toggle switches for power windows or electrically adjustable exterior mirrors and joystick-like controls for controlling an on-board computer.
  • joystick-type operating elements are understood as meaning such operating elements which can be tilted at least in four directions, so that a menu in a display system assigned to the operating element can be activated by means of the joystick-type operating element.
  • a force variable over the deflection is necessary for the operation of the operating element, via which the user is informed that the switching operation has taken place.
  • this force-displacement curve is usually generated by one or more springs or cooperating permanent magnets, which also bring the control back to a middle position when the user lets go.
  • the control element has a tiltably mounted lever with a primary and at least one secondary lever arm and at least one pair of permanent magnets, wherein a magnet of a pair of permanent magnets on a secondary lever arm and a magnet is arranged stationarily in the control element.
  • unequal poles of the magnets face each other in such a way that the operating element is held in a middle position.
  • the force curve over the deflection of the control element depends on the parameters: length of the secondary lever arm, strength of the permanent magnets, physical size of the permanent magnets and the size of the air gap between the magnets of a permanent magnet pair.
  • the document DE 4109544 discloses a known operating element.
  • the object of the invention is to change the feel of a control element such that the force-displacement curve, that is, the feel of the control element is selectively adjustable, and this can be realized with minimal design effort and cost.
  • the object of the invention is achieved in that at least partially and / or circumferentially a magnetically conductive material is attached to a arranged in the control element permanent magnet pair.
  • the permanent magnet pairs are surrounded in a flat, embodiment of the permanent magnets with a conductive material.
  • the outer magnetic field lines are more or less concentrated depending on the strength and magnetic conductivity of the sheath.
  • the casing consists in the inventive form of electrically conductive materials or rare earths, such as Sm 2 Co 17 , SmCo 2 or NdFeW.
  • the Figures 1 a, 1b and 1 c show a side view in section of a control element 1 in three different operating positions, according to the prior art.
  • the housing 9 of the control element 1 has a recess in which a ball is arranged as a bearing for a lever.
  • the lever consists of a primary lever arm 2 and a secondary lever arm 9. One end of the lever arm 2 is fixedly connected to the ball 4, the other end carries a handle 3, in the form of a control knob.
  • the secondary lever arm 5 is fixedly connected at one end to the ball 4, the other end carries a permanent magnet 6.
  • a second permanent magnet 7 is arranged in the housing 9, that in the middle position of the primary lever arm 2, an air gap between the magnet 6 and the Magnets 7 is made and opposite poles of the magnets are opposite.
  • the end stops 8 limit the range of motion of the secondary lever arm 5 and thus also of the primary lever arm second
  • FIG. 1b shows the control element 1 with slightly deflected primary lever arm 2, wherein in the FIG. 1b shown position of the dashed line b from the force-displacement diagram of FIG. 2 equivalent.
  • the tilting movement of the primary lever arm 2 is transmitted to the secondary lever arm 5.
  • This movement of the lever arm 5 has a relative movement of the magnets 6 and 7 result.
  • the in FIG. 1b shown position of the lever is the force that is necessary for further tilting of the lever, greater than the force required to tilt the lever from the in FIG. 1a outlined position is necessary.
  • the in FIG. 1b illustrated deflection of the lever is the repulsive force between the north poles of the magnets 6 and 7 of the attractive force of the unequal poles of the magnets 6 and 7 directed against. This means that the force to be applied by the user to further tilt the lever decreases.
  • This decrease in the restoring force gives the user a haptic feedback that the switching operation has taken place, wherein the decrease of the force from the position B to the position C in the FIG. 2 is called a snap.
  • the drop in force or snap equals about one third of the maximum force that the user has to apply.
  • the end stop 8 causes via the secondary lever arm 5 and the ball 4 is a limitation of Kippweges the primary lever arm 2.
  • the end stop 8 is designed to be elastic, to prevent a sudden increase in drag force. Due to the low compliance of the material of the end stop is a fast but steady increase in drag, as in the outlet of the curve in FIG. 2 is shown.
  • FIG. 3a are the permanent magnet pairs 6 and 7 detached from the control element 1 shown.
  • the permanent magnet pairs consist of a north pole (dark gray) and a south pole (light gray). Opposite poles of the magnets thus have a different polarity, so that the handle 3 or the control knob 3 is held in its center position.
  • the magnets are flat and formed at their opposite ends 10, 11, for example, square or rectangular.
  • FIG. 3b shows a permanent magnet pair 12, 13 with arranged on both sides of the magnets 12,13 sheets 14, 15, 16, 17 of a magnetic field lines conductive material.
  • the sheets 14, 15, 16, 17 or conductive pads 14, 15, 16, 17 cause an alignment and bundling of the magnets 12, 13 surrounding magnetic field lines 18.
  • the alignment and bundling of the magnetic field lines 18 according to the invention allows an increase in the maximum force F, without the use of expensive and bulky permanent magnets.
  • material, thickness and number of sheets 14, 15, 16, 17 on the circumference of the permanent magnets 12, 13 is thus a targeted control of the force-displacement curve and consequently the haptic on the control possible.
  • an advantage of the invention is that, while maintaining the maximum force, an increase in the air gap 19 between the permanent magnets 12, 13 is made possible, which in turn facilitates the assembly.
  • the permanent magnets 12, 13 are made flat, so that the magnetically conductive sheets can be fastened flat at the lateral ends of the permanent magnets 12, 13.
  • the permanent magnets 12, 13 are made flat, so that the magnetically conductive sheets can be fastened flat at the lateral ends of the permanent magnets 12, 13.

  • the permanent magnets 27, 28 form a permanent magnet pair 27, 28, wherein the opposite poles of.
  • Permanent magnets 27, 28 differ, so that the lever arms 21, 23 are held in a central position.
