Operating device

摘要

An operating device having an operating element with haptic feedback. The operating element can be actuated by an operator by means of an input member, the operating device includes two ferromagnetic planar components and a flat coil. The largest surfaces of the ferromagnetic planar components are oriented toward each other and the components can be moved relative to each other. The flat coil is disposed between the ferromagnetic components and the ferromagnetic planar components can be moved toward each other by energizing the flat coil. The movement of one of the ferromagnetic planar components can be perceptible to the tactile sense of the operator on the operating element either directly or by a coupling device.

1. An operating device, comprising:
an operating element with haptic feedback; first and second ferromagnetic planar components configured to be movable relative to one another, the first and second ferromagnetic planar components arranged substantially parallel to each other; a third ferromagnetic planar component arranged substantially parallel to each of the first and second ferromagnetic planar components and arranged between the first and second ferromagnetic planar components; and at least one flat coil arranged between the first and third ferromagnetic planar components and at least one flat coil arranged between the third and second ferromagnetic planar components, each of the flat coils having a ferromagnetic coil core; an input surface of the operating element configured to be actuated by an operator by an input member, the input surface being one of:
at least a part of one of the first and second ferromagnetic planar components andcoupled by a coupling device to one of the first and second ferromagnetic planar components, wherein adjacent ones of the first, second and third ferromagnetic planar components are movable with respect to one another by energizing respective ones of the flat coils, the movement of one of the respective first, second and third ferromagnetic planar components is perceptible to a tactile sense of the operator on the operating element at least one of directly and by the coupling device, and wherein the third ferromagnetic planar component includes respective elevated and downwardly extending portions as ferromagnetic coil cores for respective ones of the flat coils above and below the third ferromagnetic planar component.
