Embodiment Construction

[0023]according tofigure 1 For example, it is shown in a cross-sectional view.figure 1 The operating unit 1 of the steering wheel 2 shown in dashed lines. The operation unit 1 is tightened in the steering wheel spoke 3 of the steering wheel 2 in a manner that can be disassembled. For this, the steering wheel spoke 3 has a housing portion 3.1, and the housing 4 of the operating unit 1 is preferably placed in the accommodating portion in the accommodating portion. This isfigure 2It can also be seen in a top view.

[0024]The housing 4 has a closed housing sidewall 4.1 and the bottom of the housing 4.2, and the housing also carries a plurality of electric switches 5, 6, 7, such asfigure 2Indicated. These switches 5, 6, 7 are formed by the operating elements 5.2, 6.2, 7.2 supported on the housing 4 in the case of electrical contact elements provided in the housing 4, respectively. Control elements 5.2, 6.2, 7.2 are powered on the contact elements 5.1, 6.1, 7.1. For example, the electric sw...

Abstract

Proposed are an operator control unit (1) for a steering wheel (2) and a steering wheel (2) having such an operator control unit (1), having a housing (4) which is insertable into a steering-wheel spoke (3) of the steering wheel (2) and which has at least one housing side wall (4.1) and a housing base (4.2), having an electrical contact element (5.1, 6.1, 7.1) provided in the housing (4), and having at least one actuating element (5.2, 6.2, 7.2) which is mounted movably on the housing (4) and which acts with an electrical switching action on the contact element (5.1, 6.1, 7.1). In order to extend the functionality of the operator control unit (1) but maintain the compact structural form, it is proposed that the operator control unit (1) has a fan (8) for a steering-wheel temperature-control arrangement and has a flow channel (9) which is acted on by the fan (8), which flow channel (9) is formed by the housing base (4.2) and has an inlet and outlet opening (9.1, 9.2) on the housing (4).

Description

Technical field[0001]The present invention relates to a steering wheel and an operating unit for the steering wheel having a housing that can be placed in a steering wheel strip having at least one housing side wall and the bottom of the housing, the operating unit has a setup The electrical contact element in the housing and at least one manipulation element supported on the housing in a manner can act on the contact element.Background technique[0002]The operating unit in the opening of the steering wheel spokes provided in the steering wheel is known from the prior art (EP253717173B1). Such a device has a housing that can be placed in a steering wheel strip having a housing sidewall and a housing bottom, which typically carries a plurality of electrical switches for manipulating a device for manipulating a motor vehicle, such as a rod-up switch. . To this end, the switch has a contact element disposed in the housing and a manipulation element supported on the housing in a manner t...
