[0006] Technical field

[0007] The present invention relates generally to the integration of a switch and / or button into an interior trim component for a vehicle. In particular, the invention relates to an interior trim component for a vehicle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle equipped with such an interior trim component.

[0008] State of the art

[0009] It is known from practice that switches, buttons or the like are used in vehicles to selectively switch, control, etc. electrical or electronic functions, systems, etc. of the vehicle or parts thereof.

[0010] It may be desirable to integrate a single switch, button, etc., or a group of switches, buttons, etc., into an interior trim component of a vehicle or a vehicle interior. This interior trim component could be, for example, a center console, an instrument panel, a door panel, or the like. Furthermore, it may be desirable to achieve the most seamless integration possible, where the interior trim component has a laminated surface on one visible side, and the at least one switch, button, etc., and / or its surround are barely or not at all visible on this side. It may also be desirable to receive feedback when the at least one switch, button, etc., is actuated, especially if it is integrated into the interior trim component. Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0013] Description of the invention

[0014] One objective of the invention is therefore to provide an interior fitting for a vehicle with an integrated switch that gives feedback when activated, using the simplest possible means in terms of construction.

[0015] The problem is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims, the description, and the accompanying figures.

[0016] According to a first aspect, an interior trim component for a vehicle is proposed. The interior trim component has a support structure. The support structure has at least one opening that penetrates the support structure in its thickness direction. Furthermore, the interior trim component has at least one actuating element arranged in the at least one opening. The at least one actuating element is movable back and forth in the thickness direction of the support structure within the at least one opening. Additionally, the interior trim component has at least one microswitch. The at least one microswitch is arranged in the support structure adjacent to the at least one actuating element. Moreover, the at least one microswitch can be selectively actuated by the back-and-forth movement of the at least one actuating element.Furthermore, the at least one microswitch is configured to provide at least one haptic and one acoustic feedback signal when actuated by the at least one actuator. The interior trim component also includes a decorative element. The decorative element is located on the side of the support structure facing away from the at least one microswitch. The decorative element is designed to be elastically deformable, at least in part. In addition, the decorative element is configured to transmit an actuating force applied to it through the at least one opening to the at least one actuator for its reciprocating movement.

[0017] The proposed interior trim component allows for the integration of a switching function as invisibly as possible (seamless) through the use of at least one microswitch, while still providing haptic and / or acoustic feedback when activated. The microswitch is located on a visible side of the interior trim component or the Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0020] The decorative element is viewed from behind the support structure and the decorative element attached to it, and is consequently concealed by the latter. The at least one opening can be small, e.g., slot-shaped, etc., so that neither the at least one opening nor the at least one actuating element and / or the at least one microswitch located therein are visible on the visible side. The decorative element allows normal movement in the thickness direction of the interior trim part of the surface to be actuated in the area of ​​the at least one opening with relatively little force and simultaneously prevents any visible markings on the visible side of the decorative element. The at least one microswitch is structurally simple and readily available at low cost. In comparison to, for example,With capacitive switching elements, feedback upon activation is possible even without an additional actuator, since the at least one microswitch is itself designed to provide haptic and / or acoustic feedback. Furthermore, the switching function can be achieved via the at least one microswitch without a controller, software, etc., as no additional actuator or similar device is required for feedback upon activation.

[0021] As used herein, the interior trim component has a visible side, which, for example, faces a section of the vehicle's interior. The decorative element is arranged on this visible side. On the side of the decorative element facing away from the visible side, at least the support structure, at least one actuating element, and at least one microswitch are arranged.

[0022] Functionally, the at least one microswitch can be actuated by applying an actuating force, for example with a finger, from the visible side to the decorative element in the area of ​​the at least one opening. The actuating force can primarily have a normal force component directed perpendicular to the visible side. As a result of the applied actuating force, the decorative element, which is elastically deformable at least in sections, can actuate and / or displace the at least one actuating element, for example, by shifting it in the thickness direction of the support structure, and thereby partially penetrating the at least one opening. Consequently, the at least one actuating element can actuate the at least one microswitch. Due to its design, the latter can provide haptic and / or acoustic feedback. Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0025] The support structure can be made of at least one plastic material, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), etc. This can be done, for example, using a suitable injection molding process. The at least one opening can be created either during the manufacturing of the support structure, i.e., as part of the mold, or subsequently, e.g., by machining. The at least one opening can also be understood as a material recess. Multiple openings can also be provided, each of which can be assigned to an actuating element and an associated microswitch. The at least one opening can also be designed as a type of chamber. A flat surface of the support structure can be assigned to a visible surface of the interior trim component. The decorative element is arranged on this surface of the support structure and covers it.The area of ​​the supporting structure where the decorative element is attached can be larger, even significantly larger, than the area cut out by the at least one opening. In other words, the at least one opening can have a cross-sectional area on the supporting structure that is smaller than the area where the decorative element rests against it. For example, the at least one opening can also be slot-shaped.

[0026] The at least one actuating element can be made, for example, from at least one plastic material, e.g., acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), etc. This can be done, for example, using a suitable injection molding process. The at least one actuating element can be arranged and / or configured for sliding movement in the at least one opening. It can be cylindrical, cuboid, etc., for example. The at least one actuating element can have a first surface through which the actuating force can be introduced into the actuating element, a second surface opposite the first surface which can be brought into contact with, or is brought into contact with, the at least one microswitch, and at least one circumferential surface configured for sliding in or relative to the at least one opening.In a state where the at least one microswitch is unactuated, i.e., no actuating force is exerted on the decorative element, the at least one actuating element can be at least substantially flush with Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH.

[0028] 5. A side of the support structure facing the decorative element, which also forms the outline of the at least one opening. As a result, the at least one opening is hardly or not at all visible on the visible side and / or the decorative element.

[0029] The at least one microswitch can be selectively actuated by the back-and-forth movement of the at least one actuating element. Depending on its design, the at least one microswitch can provide haptic feedback, acoustic feedback, or both. The at least one microswitch can be electrically coupled to at least one electrical or electronic component in order to selectively switch this component or its function.

[0030] The decorative element can serve as a cover on the visible side of the interior trim component. It can also serve to decorate or visually enhance the visible side of the interior trim component. Furthermore, the decorative element can, in the area of ​​the at least one opening, serve to actuate the at least one operating element and consequently the at least one microswitch. The decorative element is arranged on a side of the support structure facing the visible side of the interior trim component. It spans or covers the at least one opening. The decorative element can be a single elastically deformable layer or a multi-layered arrangement. For example, the decorative element can be a film, e.g., made of a plastic material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), etc. The decorative element, e.g.Even a foil layer of the same material can, due to its material properties and / or structure, be designed to generate a restoring force towards the visible side of the interior trim piece when an actuating force, e.g., normal force, is applied to the decorative material. The decorative element can also be multi-layered, e.g., two-layered, three-layered, etc. For example, the decorative element can have a decorative layer facing the visible side and a foil layer, which together can form an elastically deformable composite. The decorative layer can be, for example, leather, imitation leather, Alcantara, a textile, a woven fabric, or the like. The foil layer can be, for example, the foil mentioned above.

[0033] Several options are conceivable to improve the locatability of the at least one microswitch on the visible side of the interior trim component. For example, the at least one opening, the at least one actuating element, and / or the decorative element in the area of ​​the at least one opening can be backlit. For this purpose, the decorative element and / or the at least one actuating element can be partially translucent. This can be achieved, for example, by perforation, such as line perforation, or more generally by a surface recess in the decorative element, possibly with a filler material in the perforation or surface recess. Furthermore, for example, a projected light indicator for the microswitch or its associated switching function can be provided. Another example is the provision of a tactile aid that can be felt from the visible side.The tactile aid can be implemented, for example, by a foil within the decorative element or by an additional insert, such as an injection-molded plastic part. The foil can be embossed with the perforation and / or surface recess of the decorative layer and form a contour that protrudes on the visible side. Similarly, the additional insert can also form a protruding contour on the visible side. Furthermore, the decorative element can, for example, have a corresponding surface print. Generally, the at least one microswitch and / or its associated switching function can also be indicated by a symbol on the visible side.

[0034] According to further training, at least one microswitch can be selected from: snap-action switches, click switches, snap-disc switches, click-toggle switches, and / or pushbuttons. These terms each define a type of electrical switch whose force-displacement characteristic exhibits hysteresis. When an actuating force is applied to this type of electrical switch, the internal mechanical system of the microswitch snaps abruptly into the opposite switching position, which is at least tactilely perceptible and possibly also audible. Such a microswitch is simple in design and readily available at low cost. Furthermore, it can be easily integrated into the interior component.

[0035] In a further development, the interior fitting component also includes at least one printed circuit board. The printed circuit board can serve to carry and / or electrically couple the at least one microswitch. The at least one printed circuit board can be arranged in the thickness direction of the support structure below the at least one opening. Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0036] 09.09.2025 1102024-WO-PCT

[0037] 7. A printed circuit board can have at least one selectable electrical component. The at least one microswitch can be arranged on the at least one printed circuit board. The at least one microswitch can be configured to selectably switch the at least one electrical component or another electrical component outside the at least one printed circuit board.

[0038] According to a further development, the at least one actuating element can be at least translucent. This can, for example, serve to make the area of ​​the at least one opening backlit. For backlighting, at least one light source, e.g., an LED, can be provided, which is configured to emit light into the at least one opening from the side facing away from the viewing side. Furthermore, this can serve to indicate the respective switching position of the at least one microswitch via the at least one actuating element on the viewing side by means of an indicator element arranged in the at least one opening. For this purpose, the microswitch can be electrically coupled to the indicator element. For example, the at least one actuating element can be partially transparent, i.e., translucent, semi-transparent, or transparent.

[0039] In a further development, the decorative element can be at least partially translucent. This can, for example, serve to make the area of ​​the at least one opening backlit. For backlighting, at least one light source, e.g., an LED, can be provided, which is configured to emit light into the at least one opening from the side facing away from the visible side. Furthermore, this can serve to indicate the respective switching position of the at least one microswitch via the at least one actuating element on the visible side by means of an indicator element arranged in the at least one opening. For this purpose, the microswitch can be electrically coupled to the indicator element. For example, the at least one actuating element can be partially transparent, i.e., translucent, semi-transparent, or transparent.

[0040] According to further training, the decorative element can be layered. The decorative element can have a decorative layer forming the visible surface. In addition, the decorative element can have a film facing the substrate. The film, in particular, can promote the elastically deformable behavior of the decorative element. Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0043] The decorative layer can be, for example, leather, imitation leather, Alcantara, a textile, a fabric, or the like. The foil layer can be, for example, the foil mentioned above.

[0044] In a further development, the film can be designed to exert a restoring force on the decorative element, directed towards the visible side. This can be an inherent property of the plastic material and / or the structure of the film. Generally, the elastic deformability of the film allows it to span at least one opening without collapsing into it, so that the opening is not visible on the visible side.

[0045] According to further training, the decorative layer and the film can be bonded together. In other words, the decorative layer and the film can be formed as a composite. This can be achieved, for example, through adhesives, welding, etc. The bonded connection holds the decorative layer and the film in position relative to each other and prevents them from shifting.

[0046] In a further development, the decorative layer can have at least one surface recess, at least in sections. The film can be embossed with this at least one surface recess. The at least one surface recess, e.g., also a perforation, can also form a symbol, pictogram, etc. Due to the embossing with the at least one surface recess, the film can be partially recessed within it and either be flush with the surface on the visible side or form a contour that protrudes on the visible side to provide tactile guidance.

[0047] Alternatively or additionally, as mentioned above, it is also possible to insert an insert, e.g. a plastic injection molded part, into at least one surface recess.

[0048] This allows it to be partially recessed in at least one surface and either flush with the surface on the visible side or to form a contour that protrudes on the visible side as a tactile aid. Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0051] According to a second aspect, a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, is proposed. The vehicle has at least one interior fitting as described in the first aspect.

[0052] Regarding the possible further training and advantages of the interior fittings component, please refer to the explanations in the first section.

[0053] The aspects, designs, variations, and examples described above can, of course, be combined without this being explicitly stated. Each of the described training courses and each example is therefore optional in relation to any of the aspects, designs, variations, and examples, or even combinations thereof. This disclosure is thus not limited to the individual designs and design variations in the described order or to any specific combination of aspects and design variations.

[0064] Detailed description of implementation examples

[0065] Fig. 1 shows a schematic sectional view of an exemplary interior trim part 100 for a vehicle 10 (see Fig. 5). The interior trim part 100 can, for example, be part of a center console, an instrument panel, a headliner, a door panel, a glove compartment, a side panel, etc., of the vehicle 10. The interior trim part 100 has a visible side facing the interior of the vehicle 10. In Fig. 1, the visible side is the upper side of the interior trim part 100.

[0066] The interior trim component 100 has a support structure 110. The support structure 110 has at least one opening 112 that penetrates the support structure 110 in its thickness direction. The support structure 110 can, for example, be made of at least one plastic material, e.g., acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), etc. This can be done, for example, using a suitable injection molding process. The material of the support structure 110 can form one or more contact surfaces around the at least one opening 112 on the visible side.

[0067] Furthermore, the interior fitting 100 has at least one actuating element 120. The at least one actuating element 120 is arranged in the at least one opening 112 and is movable back and forth in the thickness direction of the support structure 110. The at least one actuating element 120 can, for example, be made of at least one plastic material, e.g., acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), etc. This can be done, for example, using a suitable injection molding process. The at least one actuating element 120 can, for example, be arranged and / or configured for a sliding movement in the at least one opening 112. It can, for example, be cylindrical, cuboid, etc. Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0068] 09.09.2025 1102024-WO-PCT

[0069] 11

[0070] Furthermore, the interior fitting 100 has at least one microswitch 130. The at least one microswitch 130 is arranged in the support structure 110 adjacent to the at least one actuating element 120. The at least one microswitch 130 can be arranged in the thickness direction of the support structure 110 below the at least one opening 112. The at least one microswitch 130 can be selectively actuated by the back-and-forth movement of the at least one actuating element 120. The at least one microswitch 130 is configured to provide at least one haptic and one acoustic feedback when actuated by the at least one actuating element 120. The at least one microswitch 130 can be selected from: a snap-action switch, a click switch, a snap-disc switch, a click-toggle switch, and / or a push button.These terms each define a type of electrical switch whose force-displacement characteristic exhibits hysteresis. When an actuating force is applied to this type of electrical switch, the mechanical system of the microswitch inside snaps abruptly into the opposite switching position, which is at least haptically perceptible and possibly also audible.

[0071] Furthermore, the interior trim part 100 has a decorative element 140. The decorative element 140 is arranged on a side of the support structure 110 facing away from the at least one microswitch 130, i.e., on the visible side. The decorative element 140 is elastically deformable, at least in sections. The decorative element 140 is configured to transmit an actuating force applied to the decorative element 140 (see actuating force F in Fig. 2) through the at least one opening 112 to the at least one actuating element 120 for its reciprocating movement.

[0072] The decorative element 140 can serve as a cover on the visible side of the interior trim part 100. The decorative element 140 is arranged on a side of the support structure 110 facing the visible side of the interior trim part 100. It rests on the support structure 110, at least partially, around the at least one opening 110 and spans or covers the at least one opening 112. It can also serve to decorate or visually enhance the visible side of the interior trim part 100. Furthermore, the decorative element 140 can, in the area of ​​the at least one opening 112, serve to actuate the at least one actuating element 120 and, consequently, the at least one microswitch 130.

[0074] 12

[0075] Decorative element 140 can be a single elastically deformable layer or a multi-layered arrangement. For example, the decorative element can be a film, e.g., made of a plastic material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), etc. The decorative element 140, or a film thereof, can be designed, by its material properties and / or structure, to generate a restoring force in the direction of the visible side of the interior trim part 100 when the actuating force, e.g., normal force, is applied to the decorative material 140. The decorative element 140 can also be multi-layered, e.g., two-layered, three-layered, etc. For example, the decorative element 140 can have a decorative layer facing the visible side and a film layer, which together can form an elastically deformable composite.The decorative layer can be, for example, leather, imitation leather, Alcantara, a textile, a fabric, or the like. The foil layer can be, for example, the foil mentioned above.

[0076] Functionally, the at least one microswitch 130 can be actuated by applying an actuating force (see actuating force F in Fig. 2) from the visible side to the decorative element 140 in the area of ​​the at least one opening 112, for example, using a finger. The actuating force can primarily have a normal force component directed perpendicular to the visible side. As a result of the applied actuating force, the decorative element 140, which is elastically deformable at least partially, can actuate and / or displace the at least one actuating element 120, for example, by moving it in the thickness direction of the support structure 110, and thereby partially penetrate the at least one opening 112. Consequently, the at least one actuating element 120 can actuate the at least one microswitch 130. Due to its design, the latter can provide haptic and / or acoustic feedback.

[0077] Optionally, the interior fitting 100 can have at least one printed circuit board 150. The at least one microswitch 130 can be arranged on the printed circuit board 150 and / or electrically coupled. The printed circuit board 150 can be arranged in the thickness direction of the support structure 110 below the at least one opening 112. The printed circuit board 150 can have at least one selectable electrical component 152. The at least one microswitch 130 can be configured to activate the Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0079] 13 at least one electrical component 152, or an electrical component external to the circuit board 150, to be switched optionally.

[0080] Fig. 2 shows a schematic sectional view of the interior trim part 100 from Fig. 1 in a state in which the aforementioned actuating force F is exerted from the visible side on the decorative element 140 in the area of ​​the at least one opening 112, the at least one actuating element 120 and / or the at least one microswitch 130. The actuating force F has a normal force component.

[0081] As indicated in Fig. 2, the decorative element 140 deforms elastically in the thickness direction of the interior trim part 100 as a result of the actuating force F and shifts section by section towards the at least one opening 112. This causes a relative movement, e.g., displacement, of the at least one actuating element 120 in the thickness direction. Consequently, the at least one microswitch 130 is actuated. This can, for example, switch the at least one electrical component 152 or another electrical component.

[0082] Fig. 3 shows in a schematic sectional view the interior fitting part 100 with further optional features or design variants of the interior fitting part 100, which can be provided individually or in any combination.

[0083] As indicated in Fig. 3, the decorative element 140 can optionally be multilayered. For example, the decorative element 140 can have a film 142, e.g., made of a plastic material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (PUR), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), etc. The film 142 can optionally have at least translucent properties, but can also be semi-transparent, transparent, etc. The film 142 can also be designed as a diffusing film. In addition, the decorative element 140 can have a decorative layer 144 facing the visible side. The decorative layer 144 can, for example, be or comprise leather, imitation leather, Alcantara, a textile, a woven fabric, or the like.

[0084] Furthermore, the decorative element 140, e.g., the decorative layer 144, can optionally have a perforation 146, e.g., linear, dot-shaped, etc., and / or a surface recess. This can extend in the thickness direction of the decorative element 140. Perforation 146 Lisa Dräxlmaier GmbH

[0086] 14 may also be at least partially filled with a filling material. The latter may, for example, have at least translucent properties.

[0087] Furthermore, the interior trim component 100 can optionally include at least one light element 160, e.g., an LED or RGB LED. The at least one light element 160 can be configured to emit light from the side facing away from the visible side into the at least one opening 112. This can, for example, serve to illuminate or backlight the area of ​​the at least one opening 112 and / or to indicate the respective switching position of the at least one microswitch 130 through the at least one actuating element on the visible side. For this purpose, the at least one microswitch 130 can be electrically coupled to the at least one light element 160. The at least one light element 160 can be arranged on the circuit board 150. For example, the at least one actuating element 120 can be partially transparent, i.e., translucent, semi-transparent, or transparent.The decorative element 140, optionally the foil 142 and the decorative layer 144, can also be partially transparent, i.e., translucent, semi-transparent or transparent.

[0088] Fig. 4 shows in a schematic sectional view the interior fitting part 100 with further optional features or design variants of the interior fitting part 100, which can be provided individually or in any combination.

[0089] As indicated in Fig. 4, the film 142 can optionally be embossed with the perforation 146 and / or surface recess. The film 142 can be partially recessed into the perforation 146 and / or surface recess by means of the embossing, and can either be flush with the surface on the visible side or form a contour that protrudes on the visible side to serve as a tactile aid.

[0090] Alternatively or additionally, at least one insert (not shown), e.g., an injection-molded plastic part, can optionally be inserted into the perforation 146 and / or surface recess. This allows it to be partially accommodated in the at least one surface recess and either be flush with the surface on the visible side or form a contour that protrudes on the visible side to serve as a tactile aid.
