Embodiment Construction

[0024] The operating device 10 shown schematically in the drawing serves to operate functional units of a motor vehicle. For example, a warning flasher or a plate heater can be switched on or off by means of the operating device 10 . The operating device 10 can also be used to set a driving mode, such as a sporty driving mode, a protective driving mode or an eco-friendly driving mode, and to activate or deactivate driver assistance systems and other comfort and / or safety functions, such as an electronic stability program .

[0025] For this purpose, the actuating device 10 can have a plurality of actuating parts or elements 12 , one of which is shown schematically in the drawing. Such actuating elements 12 can in particular be arranged in a row in a switch strip. The at least one switching strip can be arranged in the instrument panel, in the center console, in the region of the door lining or on other interior components of the motor vehicle.

[0026] The actuating element...

Abstract

The invention relates to an operating device (10) and a method for operating a functional unit of a motor vehicle. The handling device (10) comprises at least one handling element (12) which can be moved by an operator. Furthermore, the operating device (10) comprises an actuator (22), by means of which the operating person can be informed of the actuation of the operating element (12). The actuator (22) includes a coil element (28) and an armature (20) movable relative to the coil element (28). The armature (20) is fastened to the actuating element (12). The handling device (10) includes an analysis device (36), by means of which the position of the armature (20) relative to the coil element (28) can be detected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operating device for operating a functional unit of a motor vehicle. The operating device has at least one operating element which can be moved by an operating person. Furthermore, the actuating device also includes an actuator, by means of which the operator can be notified of the actuation / actuation of the actuating element. The actuator includes a coil element and an armature movable relative to the coil element. The invention also relates to a method for operating a functional unit of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] DE 10 2011 117 120 A1 relates to an electrical control panel for a motor vehicle, which has an operating surface to which an operating force can be applied with the fingers of a human hand. In order to determine this steering force, strain gauges are provided. If an actuation of the operating surface has been detected, the operator is informed of the tactile feedback by energizing an electr...
