Motor vehicle operating device, and method for producing an at least partly electrically conductive operating unit for a motor vehicle operating device

Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle operating device (10) comprising an at least partly electrically conductive operating unit (12), which has at least one capacitive actuation region (26) on anactuation surface (14), and comprising a printed circuit board (20), which is paired with the operating unit (12) and is arranged at a distance from the actuation surface (14) and which comprises at least one electrode (34). The capacitive actuation region (26) comprises at least one sensor surface (24) which is provided on the actuation surface (14) and which is electrically connected directly tothe at least one electrode (34) on the printed circuit board (20) via at least one electrically conductive section (28) of the operating unit (12) and a press connection element (32). The printed circuit board (20) and the operating unit (12) are pressed against each other, and the press connection element (32) is mechanically connected to the electrode (34) and / or the electrically conductive section (28). The invention further relates to a method for producing an at least partly electrically conductive operating unit (12) for a motor vehicle operating device (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle operating device, such as is provided in the interior of a motor vehicle for operating vehicle functions. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing an at least partially electrically conductive operating unit for a control device of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] Motor vehicle operating devices are known from the prior art, via which vehicle occupant-specific functions of the motor vehicle, also referred to as vehicle functions, can be activated or deactivated. For this purpose, the motor vehicle operating device typically has an operating surface on which a plurality of shift symbols are arranged, which represent or visually represent the corresponding vehicle function. The gearshift symbol to be actuated can in each case be part of a capacitive sensor via which the corresponding vehicle function is activated or deactivated in that the vehicle occupant moves his finger into t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] It has been found to be disadvantageous in the motor vehicle control devices known from the prior art that the construction and the accompanying installation become complicated, since a large number of individual parts are provided, which have to be coupled to each other during installation. couplet

The complex installation is further complicated by the fact that typically there is little installation space
