Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a window regulator switch for controlling at least one vehicle window. The invention further relates to a vehicle.

[0002] Window regulator switches in vehicles are designed to control at least one window, opening and closing it. The electronics of the window regulator switch are located beneath the switch itself, requiring considerable space underneath. This increased space requirement often leads to design limitations in the vehicle's interior. Furthermore, the number of functions the window regulator switch can offer is severely limited by this placement. The electronics' location beneath the switch necessitates extensive wiring, increasing installation complexity. Additionally, the fixed arrangement of the electronics under the switch makes modifying or expanding the window regulator switch difficult.Adding new features or adapting to different vehicle models often requires a complete redesign of the window switch.

[0003] US patent 5,086,221 A discloses a rotary encoder with a stationary central support shaft that supports a cylindrical actuating shaft rotatable around the support shaft. The rotary encoder is designed to generate pulse signals by rotating the actuating shaft, but these signals are unsuitable for switching a window.

[0006] DE 10 2009 020 520 A1 discloses a pulse rotary control element.

[0007] US 5 436 413 A reveals a multi-stage rotary switch.

[0008] It is therefore an object of the present invention to at least partially overcome the disadvantages described above in a window regulator switch and a vehicle. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a window regulator switch for controlling at least one vehicle window, which has a space-optimized design in a simple and cost-effective manner and avoids a structure below the window regulator switch.

[0009] The foregoing problem is solved by a window regulator switch having the features of claim 1 and by a vehicle having the features of claim 11. Further features and details of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims, the description, and the drawings. Features and details described in connection with the window regulator switch naturally also apply in connection with the vehicle according to the invention, and vice versa, so that the disclosure of the individual aspects of the invention always refers, or can refer, to each other.

[0010] According to the first aspect of the invention, the problem is solved by a window regulator switch for controlling at least one vehicle window. The window regulator switch comprises at least: a base body with at least one mounting interface for installation in a vehicle; a mounting axis, wherein the mounting axis is arranged on the base body; a first hollow shaft, wherein the first hollow shaft is arranged on the mounting axis; and at least one first switch for controlling the at least one vehicle window, wherein the first hollow shaft is rotatably mounted about the mounting axis for actuating the at least first switch.

[0011] For the purposes of this invention, "controlling a window pane" can be understood as opening and / or closing a window pane, or partially opening and / or closing it. A window pane can be, for example, a rear window, a side window, a triangular window, a panoramic roof, or a sunroof. In particular, for the purposes of this invention, the front and / or rear side windows of a vehicle are to be understood as being controlled.

[0012] A base body can be a plate of any shape on which the components of the window regulator switch can be arranged. The shape of the base body can be circular, oval, triangular or polygonal, preferably rectangular. The base body has at least one mounting interface for installation in a vehicle. This mounting interface can be a tab, for example, a screw-on tab, a plug-in tab, a clamping or snap-on tab, a weld-on tab, and / or a combination tab. The base body and / or the mounting interface are, for example, at least partially made of steel, aluminum, copper (alloys), titanium, or zinc.

[0013] A mounting axis is arranged on the base body. The mounting axis can be a bolt, a shaft, a pin, or a stud. Furthermore, the mounting axis can be arranged perpendicular or orthogonal, or at least nearly perpendicular, to the base body. The mounting axis can be made of the same or a different material than the base body.

[0014] Furthermore, a first hollow shaft is arranged on the mounting axis. A hollow shaft can be a cylindrical component or shaft that has at least a partial interior cavity along its longitudinal axis. The first hollow shaft can be fitted over or inserted into the mounting axis, so that the mounting axis protrudes at least partially or completely through the first hollow shaft. In particular, the hollow shaft can be rotated around the mounting axis. A projection can be arranged on the hollow shaft to facilitate its operation. The projection can be symmetrical. For example, the projection can have a triangular cross-section.

[0015] Furthermore, a first switch is provided for controlling at least one vehicle window. The switch can have several, in particular two, actuation fields. The switch or the direction of actuation can be oriented perpendicular, nearly perpendicular, or orthogonal to the mounting axis and / or the first hollow shaft.

[0016] The first hollow shaft is mounted so that it can rotate about the mounting axis to actuate at least the first switch. By rotating the first hollow shaft around the mounting axis, it can contact the first switch and thereby actuate a vehicle window. The rotational movement can be between 0 and 270 degrees, preferably between 10 and 150 degrees, and particularly preferably between 20 and 45 degrees. The rotational movement of the first hollow shaft around the mounting axis can be effected via an actuating surface, for example, a projection, or directly via the first hollow shaft itself. The profile of the actuating surface can be rectangular, square, triangular, or round. Furthermore, the first hollow shaft can be rotated in two directions, particularly clockwise and counterclockwise.Depending on the direction of movement, for example, either the first or second actuation field of the first switch can be contacted, thus opening the vehicle window in one direction and closing it in the other. Furthermore, it can be provided that different functions can be triggered by the force applied to actuate at least the first switch.

[0017] Such a device allows a window regulator switch to be provided in a simple and cost-effective manner, which has a space-saving design without a complicated structure below the window regulator switch.

[0018] According to a preferred further development of the invention, a window regulator switch may be provided in such a way that at least a second switch is provided for controlling at least a second vehicle window, wherein a second hollow shaft is arranged on the mounting axis, wherein the second hollow shaft is rotatably mounted about the mounting axis for actuating the at least second switch, wherein the second hollow shaft is arranged at least partially above or below the first hollow shaft, wherein the first and the second hollow shaft are rotatable relative to each other.

[0019] The second switch can be located next to or parallel to the first switch. Like the first switch, the second switch can have multiple, in particular two, actuation fields. The second switch can control a different or additional vehicle window than the first switch. Furthermore, a second hollow shaft can be provided on the mounting axis, wherein the second hollow shaft is mounted to be rotatably movable about the mounting axis.

[0020] The second hollow shaft can be positioned at least partially above or below the first hollow shaft. In other words, the first and second hollow shafts can be nested within each other. It is possible for the second hollow shaft to run at least partially below the first hollow shaft. In this case, the first hollow shaft would have a larger diameter than the second hollow shaft, at least partially. Conversely, it is possible for the first hollow shaft to run at least partially below the second hollow shaft. In the area where the first and second hollow shafts are positioned above or below each other, the diameter of the hollow shaft can differ from that in the area or actuation surface where the hollow shaft can be actuated. Furthermore, it is possible for the first and second hollow shafts to have the same external contour in the area of ​​an actuation surface.The profile of the actuating surface can be rectangular, square, triangular, or round. The second hollow shaft can be directly connected to the mounting shaft, or it can be indirectly connected. The indirect connection can be formed via a link between the first and second hollow shafts. In this case, the first hollow shaft can be directly connected to the mounting shaft, and the second hollow shaft can be connected to the first hollow shaft.

[0021] The first and second hollow shafts can be rotated relative to each other. The second hollow shaft can rotate independently of the first. A rotational movement of the first hollow shaft does not result in a rotational movement of the second hollow shaft, and vice versa. For example, the first hollow shaft can be configured to rotate clockwise and the second hollow shaft counterclockwise. Furthermore, it is possible to move the first and second hollow shafts simultaneously in the same direction. This has the advantage that multiple functions can be provided using the same base body, thus enabling a particularly space-saving design.

[0022] According to the invention, the window regulator switch is provided in that a pin is arranged perpendicular to the mounting axis on the mounting axis, wherein the first and optionally also the second hollow shaft have a cam guide in the circumferential direction for guiding the first and / or the second hollow shaft on the pin of the mounting axis. The pin is at a right angle to the mounting axis so that it can slide through a cam guide or an elongated slot of the first and optionally the second hollow shaft. The cam guide can preferably be arranged in the circumferential direction of the first and / or second hollow shaft to prevent translational displacement along the mounting axis. For the purposes of the invention, a cam guide can be understood to be an elongated slot. The pin can be attached to the mounting axis, for example, by means of a plug connection, rivet, screw connection, or adhesive connection.The guide mechanism can be designed such that the first and second hollow shafts touch in the area of ​​one end face of the hollow shafts or have a small gap of 0.1 mm to 10 mm, preferably 1 mm. This design can provide a particularly cost-effective guide for the first and / or second hollow shaft.

[0023] Furthermore, at least one third switch for controlling an additional vehicle component may be provided, wherein at least one third hollow shaft is arranged on the mounting axis, the third hollow shaft being movably mounted transversely to the mounting axis for actuating the at least third switch, and the third hollow shaft being arranged at least partially below the first hollow shaft or below the first and second hollow shafts. In addition to the first and / or second rotatably movable hollow shaft, a third transversely movable hollow shaft may be provided. The third hollow shaft may be arranged directly or indirectly on the mounting axis. A direct arrangement may be understood as a connection between the mounting axis and the third hollow shaft. An indirect arrangement may be understood as the third hollow shaft being connected to the mounting axis via the first and / or second hollow shaft.The third hollow shaft may not be hollow throughout. It is possible that the third hollow shaft is not continuous at one end, for example, to provide an actuation surface for translational movement of the third hollow shaft. In this case, the third hollow shaft may have the form of a sleeve closed at one end. The position of the third hollow shaft may be either below the first and second hollow shafts or below the first hollow shaft alone. Like the first and second switches, the third switch may have multiple, in particular two, actuation fields. The third hollow shaft or the third switch may be suitable for controlling an additional function that is independent of the vehicle's window. This additional function may be a child safety lock, central locking, ABS, ESP, parking assist, or similar system.Advantageously, by integrating a third hollow shaft into the window regulator switch, a particularly space-saving variant with multiple functions can be provided.

[0024] Furthermore, it is possible that the first hollow shaft has at least one actuating projection and / or the second hollow shaft has at least one actuating projection. An actuating projection can be a projection suitable for transmitting the rotational movement of the first and / or second hollow shaft to the first and / or second switch. Through the rotation of the first hollow shaft, the actuating projection can actuate at least one actuating field of the first switch and thus control a vehicle window. The actuating projection can be arc-shaped with two projections. In this case, two actuating fields of the first and / or second switch could be contacted by a relatively small rotational movement of between 5 and 270 degrees, preferably 10 and 150 degrees, and particularly preferably between 20 and 45 degrees.The actuating projection allows the switch to be contacted particularly reliably, thus enabling the vehicle window to be controlled.

[0025] Within the scope of the invention, the first switch and / or the second switch can be oriented orthogonally to the mounting axis, and / or the third switch can be oriented parallel to the mounting axis. The first and / or the second switch can have multiple, in particular two, actuation fields. The switch or the actuation direction can be oriented perpendicular or nearly perpendicular or orthogonally to the mounting axis and / or the first hollow shaft. In other words, the direction in which the switch is actuated can be oriented orthogonally or at a right angle to the mounting axis. The third switch can be oriented parallel to the mounting axis, and the third switch can be contacted by the translational movement of the third hollow shaft. This design has the advantage that a window regulator switch functions particularly reliably while requiring only a small installation space.

[0026] Furthermore, the mounting shaft can have at least one ring for securing the first hollow shaft and / or the second hollow shaft and / or the third hollow shaft. The ring can be positively and / or frictionally connected to the mounting shaft. A ring for securing the first hollow shaft and / or the second hollow shaft and / or the third hollow shaft reliably prevents the respective hollow shaft from slipping out and allows for a particularly space-saving design of the window regulator switch.

[0027] Furthermore, it may be provided, within the scope of the invention, that the first hollow shaft and / or the second hollow shaft and / or the third hollow shaft have at least one fastening element for fixing them to the ring of the mounting axis. The fastening element may be a clip which is reversibly or irreversibly connected to the ring. In particular, several, and especially three, fastening elements may be provided on the first hollow shaft, the second hollow shaft, and / or the third hollow shaft. It is possible that the first, the second, and the third hollow shaft are connected separately with their own fastening elements, or that only the first, the second, or the third hollow shaft is connected to the ring. The hollow shafts may be connected to each other separately, for example, via a flange connection, a plug connection, a clamp connection, a coupling, or a screw connection.The fastening elements have the advantage that they allow for the safe and inexpensive fixing of the first hollow shaft and / or the second hollow shaft and / or the third hollow shaft.

[0028] According to a further development of the invention, a window regulator switch can be provided with a base body having at least three mounting interfaces, each mounting interface comprising at least one opening. The mounting interfaces can be arranged at a spacing angle of 60 degrees to 210 degrees, preferably 110 degrees to 130 degrees. The opening is, for example, located at one-third of the mounting interface. This design ensures secure fixing of the window regulator switch to a vehicle, particularly a vehicle door, and allows for easy replacement of the window regulator switch.

[0029] Within the scope of the invention, it is possible that a housing is provided, that the first switch, the second switch, and / or the third switch are arranged in the housing, and that the housing has at least one recess for guiding the first hollow shaft, the second hollow shaft, the third hollow shaft, and / or the mounting shaft through it. In other words, the housing can accommodate components of the window regulator switch and have a recess, opening, or hole for guiding the first hollow shaft, the second hollow shaft, the third hollow shaft, and / or the mounting shaft through it. Furthermore, it can be provided that the first switch, the second switch, and / or the third switch are arranged in the housing. The housing can reliably protect the components from chemical and mechanical influences.The recess, which is particularly circular, can be so large in diameter that the first hollow shaft and / or the second hollow shaft and / or the third hollow shaft and / or the mounting axle can pass precisely through the recess.

[0030] The described vehicle offers all the advantages already described for a window regulator switch for controlling at least one vehicle window according to the first aspect of the invention. A vehicle is characterized in that it has at least one window regulator switch according to the first aspect of the invention.

[0031] A device according to the invention for a window regulator switch for controlling at least one vehicle window is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. The drawings schematically show: Fig. 1 in a perspective view a window lifter switch according to the invention, Fig. 2 in a further perspective view a window lifter switch according to the invention and Fig. 3 in a side view a window lifter switch according to the invention.

[0032] Elements with the same function and mode of operation are in the Fig. 1, Fig. 2 to Fig. 3 each with the same reference numerals.

[0033] In Fig. Figure 1 schematically depicts a window regulator switch 100 with a first hollow shaft 104, a second hollow shaft 106, and a third hollow shaft 108. Each hollow shaft 104, 106, 108 has an actuating surface 119. The actuating surface 119 of the first hollow shaft 104 and the actuating surface 119 of the second hollow shaft 106 have a triangular cross-sectional profile. However, the profile of the actuating surface 119 can also be rectangular, square, or round. In particular, it is possible that the actuating surface 119 is directly the cylindrical body of the first 104 and / or second hollow shaft 106. The actuating surface 119 of the third hollow shaft 108 is a round surface that seals the second hollow shaft 106. The actuating surfaces 119 of the first 104 and the second hollow shaft 106 are suitable for moving the first 104 and second hollow shaft 106 into a rotary movement around the mounting axis 103.The third actuation surface 119 is particularly suitable for moving the third hollow shaft 108 into a translational movement along the mounting axis 103.

[0034] The third hollow shaft 108 is arranged inside the second hollow shaft 106. The third hollow shaft 108 and the second hollow shaft 106 are both partially arranged inside the first hollow shaft 104. Within the scope of the invention, it can be provided that the first hollow shaft 104, the second hollow shaft 106, and the third hollow shaft 108 can be moved independently of one another. For example, it is possible to simultaneously move the first hollow shaft 104 counterclockwise, the second hollow shaft 106 clockwise, and the third hollow shaft 108 in the direction of the actuating axis.

[0035] A pin 110 is arranged orthogonally, or perpendicularly, to the mounting axis 103. The pin 110 is arranged in a cam guide 111, the cam guide 111 being arranged circumferentially to guide the first 104 and / or the second hollow shaft 106 on the pin 110 of the mounting axis 103. The cam guide 111 can, for example, be an elongated slot. The pin 110, in combination with the cam guide 111, prevents translational slippage of the first 104 and the second hollow shaft 106. Furthermore, the cam guide 111 can limit the maximum rotation of the first 104 and the second hollow shaft 106 to a movement between 5 and 270 degrees, preferably 10 and 150 degrees, and particularly preferably between 20 and 45 degrees.

[0036] The first hollow shaft 104 can have a first actuating projection 112, and the second hollow shaft 106 can have a second actuating projection 113. The first actuating projection 112 and the second actuating projection 113 are arcuate, each with two projections. Thus, the first actuating projection 112 can contact a first switch 105 with two actuating fields 120 without completing a full rotation. The same applies to the second hollow shaft 106 with the second actuating projection 113 and the second switch 107.

[0037] The first switch 105 and / or the second switch 107 are aligned orthogonally to the mounting axis 103. In other words, the direction in which the first switch 105 and the second switch 107 are actuated is orthogonal, or at a right angle, to the mounting axis 103. The first switch 105 and the second switch 107 each have two actuation fields 120. The contacting of these actuation fields 120 can actuate a vehicle window.

[0038] Movement of the actuating surface 119 of the first hollow shaft 104 causes the first hollow shaft 104 to rotate around the mounting axis 103. The first hollow shaft 104 moves within the cam guide 111, in which it is held by the pin 110. The rotation of the first hollow shaft 104 also moves the first actuating projection 112, which is positively and non-positively connected to the first hollow shaft 104. This actuating projection 112 contacts the first switch 105 or an actuating field 120 of the first switch 105. The second hollow shaft 106 with the second actuating projection 113 and the second switch 107 functions according to the same principle.

[0039] The third hollow shaft 108 can transmit translational movements along the mounting axis 103. For this purpose, the third hollow shaft 108 contacts the third switch 109. It is possible that the third hollow shaft 108 also has a third actuating projection. The third switch 109 is aligned parallel to the actuating axis, so that a movement of the third hollow shaft 108 along the mounting axis 103 can contact this third switch 109. In other words, the direction in which the third switch 109 is actuated is parallel to the mounting axis 103. An additional function of the vehicle, such as central locking, ABS, ESP, parking assistance, or similar, can be controlled via the third hollow shaft 108.

[0040] The mounting shaft 103 comprises a ring 114, and the third hollow shaft 108 comprises a fastening element 115. It may be provided that the first hollow shaft 104 and / or the second hollow shaft 106 and / or the third hollow shaft 108 each have at least one fastening element 115. In this case, the first hollow shaft 104, the second hollow shaft 106, and the third hollow shaft 108 are interconnected, and only the third hollow shaft 108 is connected to the ring 114 via a fastening element 115.

[0041] The mounting axle 103 is attached to a base body 101. The base body 101 has three mounting interfaces 102, each with an opening 116. The openings 116 are recessed at one-third of the mounting point of the mounting element 115. The window regulator switch 100 can be connected to the body or door of a vehicle, for example, via the mounting elements 115 and the openings 116.

[0042] The housing 117 protects the internal components from mechanical and chemical influences caused by impacts or liquids. The first switch 105, the second switch 107, and the third switch 109 are located within the housing 117. The base body 101 and the mounting interfaces 102 are located at least partially within the housing 117. The mounting shaft 103 attached to the base body 101, as well as the first hollow shaft 104, the second hollow shaft 106, and the third hollow shaft 108, are also located at least partially within the housing 117, with these extending out of the housing 117 through a recess 118. The recess 118 is only slightly larger than the outer first hollow shaft 119 to ensure a positive-locking transition. The actuating surfaces 119 of the first, second, and third hollow shafts are located outside the housing 117.

[0043] The Fig. Figure 2 also shows a window regulator switch 100 in a rotated view. In this view, it is particularly evident that the first switch 105 and the second switch 107 both have two actuation fields 120. The contacting of these actuation fields 120 can control a vehicle window.

[0044] As already mentioned Fig. As described in Figure 1, movement of the actuating surface 119 of the first hollow shaft 104 results in a rotational movement of the first hollow shaft 104 around the mounting axis 103. The first hollow shaft 104 moves within the cam guide 111, in which it is held by the pin 110. The rotation of the first hollow shaft 104 also moves the first actuating projection 112, which is positively and non-positively connected to the first hollow shaft 104. This actuating projection 112 contacts the first switch 105 or an actuating field 120 of the first switch 105. The second hollow shaft 106 with the second actuating projection 113 and the second switch 107 functions according to the same principle.

[0045] The Fig.Figure 3 shows a window regulator switch 100 according to the invention in a side view. The first hollow shaft 104 can be adjusted by an up or down movement over the actuating surface 119. The third hollow shaft 108, located at the front, with its associated actuating surface 119 is also shown.
