Input Unit for an Operating Element that can be Actuated by Pressure or Rotation

摘要

An input unit for an operating element that can be actuated by pressure or rotation includes a housing having a recess portion, a carrier having a detent projection, and an input member (e.g., an actuator). The carrier is displacable relative to the housing. The input member is rotatably mounted on the carrier to be rotatable. The input member has a body with a cavity therein and a detent curve body movably arranged in the cavity such that the detent curve body is displaceable relative to the body of the input member. A first end of the detent curve body has a detent curve engaging the detent projection of the carrier. A second end of the detent curve body is adjacent to the housing part and has projections. The input member further has a spring that acts on the detent curve body to press the detent curve against the detent projection.

1. An input unit for an operating element that can be actuated by pressure or rotation, the input unit comprising:
a housing wall having a recess portion; a carrier having a detent projection, the carrier being displacable relative to the housing wall along a displacement axis; an input member mounted on a shaft rotatably mounted on the carrier to be rotatable about a rotation axis normal to the displacement axis; the input member having a body with a cavity therein and a detent curve body movably arranged in the cavity such that the detent curve body is displaceable along an axial direction parallel with the rotation axis relative to the body of the input member, a first end of the detent curve body having a detent curve engaging the detent projection of the carrier, and a second end of the detent curve body being adjacent to the housing part and having projections; the input member further having a spring that acts on the detent curve body to press the detent curve against the detent projection.
