Actuator device for control unit and fixing procedure of an actuator device for control unit
The present invention relates to an actuator device for control unit and a method of fixing an actuator device for control unit, in particular for use in a motor vehicle. 10 Background of the invention
Currently there are rotary controls for the selection of different alternatives in a menu or start and stop buttons of the engine of a vehicle. These controls are mechanically coupled to the vehicle console, as described, for example, in the
15 US7643017, in which the control mechanically regulates the moment or force necessary to make it rotate, as well as the number of pulsations per rotation and detects when the limit of the list or menu of selection of elements has been reached. To do this, said control is mechanically attached to the console of the vehicle and not be removed.
In addition, document DE102008042844 is known which protects a rotary control, which can have both a circular and rectangular shape, which is fixed to the vehicle by a magnetic surface and its anchor point to the vehicle can be located both in the dashboard and behind the wheel This document does not constructively detail how to proceed with the anchoring of the command in said console, or how the
25 user support the control on the surface of the interior of the vehicle to fix it.
Furthermore, it is necessary that said controls, if not mechanically coupled, have some mechanism capable of fixing them with sufficient force so that a fortuitous blow during driving can undo the control from its position of
30 use, causing unwanted engine shutdown. For example, document CN203214480 describes a mechanism with a surface with electromagnet, which when applied current, this magnet is excited and coupled to another face.
Therefore, the objective of the present invention is to provide a device in which the
35 control is anchored in its position of use in the housing reserved for it by a non-mechanical solution, and that has the ability to avoid unwanted separation
P201530273

of the command if it hits it, which could fall from its normal position of use while the car is running and causing an unwanted engine stop. Description of the invention
With the device and the method according to the present invention, the aforementioned drawbacks are resolved, presenting other advantages that will be described below.
In accordance with a first aspect, the present invention relates to an actuator device for control unit, which comprises a support surface, which in turn comprises a base with at least one first magnet; and a movable element with at least a second magnet, the movable element being supported on the support surface, in which said base with the at least a first magnet is movable between:
15 -a resting position, in which the at least one first magnet of the base is distanced from at least a second magnet of the movable element, and
-a fixing position, in which the at least one first magnet of the base is close to the
20 minus a second magnet of the movable element, the movable element being supported on the support surface.
It should be noted that in the present description and in the appended claims the term "distanced" means that both magnets are far enough away that
25 the magnetic effect does not act among them. Similarly, it should be noted that in the present description and in the appended claims the term "next" means that the magnets are at a distance such that they are fully magnetized with each other.
Thus, in the resting position the at least one second magnet of the moving element
30 is at a distance of at least one first magnet from the base such that the existing magnetic field is not sufficient for the movable element to be fixed on the support surface. In contrast, in the fixation position, the magnetic field generated by the at least one first magnet of the base is sufficient for the attractive force to fix the moving element on the support surface. For example, the base moves from the
35 rest position to the fixation position and vice versa by means of an actuator.

According to a preferred embodiment, the at least one first magnet of the base is a crown of first magnets arranged circumferentially in said base, and the at least a second magnet of the mobile element is a crown of second magnets arranged circumferentially in said mobile element .
Advantageously, the at least one first magnet of the base and the at least one second magnet of the mobile element are arranged homologously and symmetrically.
In addition, the support surface is advantageously tiltable, and a switch of a motor 10 is activatable by a movement of the tilting support surface, which is movable by a pressure of the movable element on said tilting support surface.
Thus, the user rests the moving element on the tilting surface and, by a slight pressure of the moving element towards said supporting surface, it tilts and activates the switch. In turn, the motor is activated when said switch detects the tilting of the bearing surface.
Advantageously, the motor comprises a longitudinally movable axis and integral with the base, so that it transmits the longitudinal displacement to said base.
In addition, the switch is preferably connected to a control unit, so that it sends to said control unit a coupling between the moving element and the base through the magnetic field.
According to a preferred embodiment, the support surface is an inner surface of a motor vehicle and the mobile element is a control, and the switch is connected to the control unit to govern the on and / or off of a motor vehicle. .
In addition, the motor is preferably a stepper motor, and the switch is a microswitch.
According to a second aspect, the present invention relates to a method of fixing an actuator device for control unit, which comprises a support surface, which in turn comprises a base with at least a first magnet, an element
35 mobile with at least a second magnet and a motor integral to said base, comprising the following steps:
P201530273
03-03-2015
-position the moving element on the support surface,
-pressing the tilting support surface by pushing the moving element against said support surface,
5-move the base from a rest position to a fixing position using the motor, and
-fix the mobile element with the base by the action of the magnetic field generated by the first magnet of the base on the second magnet of the mobile element.
Advantageously, the step of pressing the support surface comprises operating a switch that activates the motor.
In addition, the step of moving the base to the fixation position advantageously comprises bringing the at least one first magnet of the base towards the support surface, so that the magnetic field of said at least one first magnet attracts the at least one second magnet of the moving element towards said support surface.
With the device and the method according to the present invention, at least the following advantages are achieved:
-A sufficiently strong fixation is achieved between the mobile element and the support surface to resist an unwanted blow that could lead to the separation of the mobile element.
-It is a visually clean and mechanism-free solution.
-The fact that it is necessary to press on the mobile element once placed on the
The support surface to allow its fixing means that the support surface is not constantly magnetized and, therefore, is not an uncomfortable surface that attracts objects that can be attracted to magnets. Brief description of the drawings
35 For a better understanding of how much has been exposed, some drawings are attached in which,

schematically and only by way of non-limiting example, a practical case of embodiment is represented.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device according to the present invention, 5 with the movable element placed on the support surface;
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device according to the present invention, with the mobile element separated from the bearing surface;
Figure 3 is a sectional elevational view of the device according to the present invention, the base being in its resting position; Y
Figure 4 is a sectional elevational view of the device according to the present invention, the base being in its fixation position. 15 Description of a preferred embodiment
The actuator device for control unit according to the present invention comprises a support surface 5, which in turn comprises a base 2 with at least
20 a first magnet 21, preferably a crown of multiple magnets arranged circumferentially.
A movable element 1 with at least a second magnet 11, preferably a crown of multiple circumferentially arranged magnets, is placed on the bearing surface 5.
The at least one first magnet 21 of the base 2 and the at least one second magnet 11 of the movable element 1 are preferably arranged homologously and symmetrically.
Said base 2 with the at least one first magnet 21 is movable between a position of
30 rest, represented in figure 3, in which the at least one first magnet 21 of the base 2 is distanced from the at least one second magnet 11 of the movable element 1, and a fixing position, represented in figure 4, in that the at least one first magnet 21 of the base 2 is close to at least a second magnet 11 of the movable element 1 when the movable element 1 is placed on the bearing surface 5.

preferably moves from the rest position to the fixation position, and / or vice versa, by pressing the mobile element 1.
As indicated above, in the present description and in the appended claims the term "distanced" means that both magnets are far enough away so that the magnetic effect does not act between them. Similarly, it should be noted that in the present description and in the appended claims the term "next" means that the magnets are at a distance such that they are fully magnetized with each other.
In addition, the bearing surface 5 is advantageously tiltable, and a switch 4, for example a microswitch, of a motor 3, for example a stepper motor, is activatable by a movement of the tilting bearing surface 5, which is movable by a pressure of the mobile element 1 on said tilting support surface 5.
For its part, the motor 3 comprises a longitudinally movable axis 31 and integral with the base 2, so that it transmits the longitudinal displacement to said base 2. More specifically, when the motor 3 is started, the base 2 with its corresponding at least a first magnet 21, will occupy the fixation position from its resting position. Understanding as a fixation position that in which the at least one magnet 21 of the base 2 is at a distance sufficiently close to the at least one second magnet 11 of the mobile element 1 so that by action of a magnetic field both at least a first and second magnet 21.11 are magnetized and attracted to each other, even through the support surface 5.
In this way, when pressing on the mobile element 1, there is a tilting of the bearing surface 5, which activates the switch 4 through the contact between the lower face of said bearing surface 5. Said switch 4 activates the motor 3 (located under the surface of the base 2), which raises the base 2 with the at least a first magnet 21 from its resting position, until it is left at least a second magnet 11 of the mobile element 1, acting on it and the two parts, the base 2 and the mobile element 1, being perfectly joined together, having even between said lower face of the mobile element 1 and said upper face of the base 2, the support surface 5.
In addition, switch 4, which is preferably connected to a control unit (not shown in the figures), sends a coupling signal to said control unit.
P201530273

between the mobile element 1 and the base 2 through the magnetic field.
Although the device according to the present invention can be used in any suitable application, according to a preferred embodiment, the bearing surface 5 is
5 an interior surface of a motor vehicle, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the mobile element 1 is a control, and the switch 4 is connected to the control unit for, for example, to govern the on and / or off of a motor vehicle, and / or for the selection of different alternatives in a menu.
In accordance with a second aspect, the present invention relates to a method of fixing the actuator device described above, comprising the following steps:
-position the mobile element 1 on the support surface 5,
15 -pressing the support surface 5 tilting by pushing the moving element 1 against said support surface 5,
- move the base 2 from a rest position to a fixing position by means of the motor 3, and
-fix the mobile element 1 with the base 2 by the action of the magnetic field generated by the first magnet 21 of the base 1 on the second magnet 11 of the mobile element 1.
25 As indicated above, pressing the support surface 5 activates the switch 4 that activates the motor 3, and when moving the base 2 to the fixing position, from its resting position, the at least one first magnet 21 of the base 2 towards the bearing surface 5, so that the magnetic field of said at least one first magnet 21 attracts the at least a second magnet 11 of the movable element 1 towards said surface
30 support 5.
To separate the mobile element 1 from the bearing surface 5, the sequence is the reverse of that described for fixing.
35 Specifically, to separate the mobile element 1, it must first be pressed. This pressure produces a tilting of the support surface 5 and an activation of the switch
P201530273
03-03-2015
4, which in turn causes the motor 3, through its axis 31, to move the base 2 with the at least a first magnet 21 from its fixing position to its rest position.
This displacement causes the at least one second magnet 11 of the mobile element 1
5 is distanced from the at least one first magnet 21 of the base 2, so that the magnets do not attract each other, since the magnetic field weakens when said at least a first and second magnet 21.11 are distanced, which allows the removal of the mobile element 1 from the bearing surface 5.
10 By way of example only, in the case where the device according to the present invention is used in a motor vehicle, different possibilities of influencing the propulsion system of the vehicle are described whether or not the mobile element 1 is fixed on the support surface 5. In this way it is possible:
15 -Turn on an electronic system of a vehicle when the control unit receives a signal from switch 4 as the mobile element 1 is coupled to the base 2 and a brake and / or a clutch of the vehicle are not pressed;
- start a propulsion engine and the electronic system of the vehicle when the unit
The control receives a signal from the switch 4 as the mobile element 1 is coupled to the base 2 and the brake and / or the clutch of the vehicle are pressed;
- switch off the vehicle's propulsion engine when the control unit receives a signal from switch 4 as the mobile element 1 has disengaged from base 2, the vehicle
25 is stopped and the brake is pressed.
Although reference has been made to a specific embodiment of the invention, it is apparent to one skilled in the art that the device and method described are susceptible of numerous variations and modifications, and that all the details
30 mentioned can be substituted by other technically equivalent ones, without departing from the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
