Embodiment Construction

[0053] The invention is described by way of example with the aid of an operating device which can be mounted on a center console of a motor vehicle. However, the invention is also applicable to other types of operating devices. In this case, the selected operating device is U-shaped with two lateral operating units, which can be operated by the driver or a passenger on one side respectively. In the front area there is a third operating unit which can be operated by both. figure 1 An operating device 10 is shown with two lateral operating units 11 and 12 and a front operating unit 13 . The lateral operating units 11 , 12 are also referred to below as the first and second operating unit, while the front operating unit 13 is referred to as the third operating unit.

[0054] In this embodiment of the operating device with several independent operating units, the two lateral operating units 11 , 12 each have a touch-sensitive input surface, which can be positioned for tactile fee...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a control device with at least one touch-sensitive input surface that can be activated for haptic feedback with an electromagnetic actuator, where the actuator comprises an actuator coil and an armature that is activated by energizing the actuator coil. The control device is divided into at least two control assemblies at least one of which has a touch-sensitive input surface and an armature connected therewith. These at least two control assemblies are installed at a minimum spacing from each other on a common circuit board, which in turn is connected with acommon carrier element, whereby the armatures protrude through the circuit board with play. On each carrier element, an actuator coil at a spacing x from the armature of the respective control assembly is installed. The present disclosure also refers to a process for manufacturing the control device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operating device having at least one touch-sensitive input surface which can be set in motion for tactile feedback by means of an electromagnetic actuator, the actuator having an actuator coil for this purpose and an armature movable by passing current through the actuator coil. [0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such an operating device. Background technique [0003] In the field of operating devices or input devices, electromagnetic actuators are frequently used in order to be able to implement switching functions. Such actuators can also be used in order to produce tactile effects in the operating elements. For example, touch-sensitive input surfaces, such as trackpads and touchscreens, are increasingly being used in electronic installations. This is especially true for mobile phones and other mobile devices, but it also applies to user interfaces in cars. The touch-sensitive input s...
