Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen elektronischen Schlüssel, aufweisend einen zur Unterbringung von elektrischen und elektronischen Bauteilen dienenden und gehäuseförmig ausgebildeten Funktionskorpus und zumindest ein Tastenelement, das an dem Funktionskorpus angebracht ist.The invention is directed to an electronic key, comprising a functional body which is used to accommodate electrical and electronic components and has a housing-shaped design, and at least one key element which is attached to the functional body.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Lösung zu schaffen, die auf konstruktiv einfache Weise und kostengünstig einen elektronischen Schlüssel bereitstellt, der einen besseren Komfort und zugleich eine einfache sowie einwandfreie Bedienung gewährleistet.The invention has for its object to provide a solution that provides an electronic key in a structurally simple manner and cost, which ensures better comfort and at the same time a simple and flawless operation.
Bei einem elektronischen Schlüssel der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird die Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass eine Abdeckung mittels einer Arretierungsmechanik lösbar am Funktionskorpus arretiert ist und zumindest die Oberseite und/oder die Unterseite des Funktionskorpus vollflächig abdeckt.In an electronic key of the type described, the object is achieved in that a cover by means of a locking mechanism is releasably locked to the functional body and covers at least the top and / or bottom of the functional body over the entire surface.
Vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous and expedient refinements and developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Durch die Erfindung wird ein elektronischer Schlüssel zur Verfügung gestellt, welcher sich durch eine einfache und kompakte Bauweise bei gleichzeitiger Bedienung mit einem hohen Komfort auszeichnet. Die Abdeckung dient dazu, den Funktionskorpus und daran oder auch darin angebrachte Bauteile vor Beschädigung zu schützen. Im Gegensatz zu aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Abdeckungen oder Batteriefachdeckeln deckt die Abdeckung vollflächig die Oberseite und/oder Unterseite des Funktionskorpus ab, wodurch sie dem erfindungsgemäßen elektronischen Schlüssel ein exklusives und hochwertiges Erscheinungsbild verleiht. Mit Hilfe der Arretierungsmechanik ist darüber hinaus die Abdeckung problemlos und ohne große Kraftanstrengung von dem Funktionskorpus abnehmbar, um beispielsweise Zugriff auf einen am Funktionskorpus angebrachten mechanischen Notschlüssel oder auf ein Batteriefach zu erhalten. Die Arretierungsmechanik gestattet aber auch einen komfortablen Austausch der Abdeckung, was nicht nur im Fall einer Beschädigung der Abdeckung erwünscht sein muss. Zum Beispiel kann ein Austausch der Abdeckung auch gewünscht sein, um dem elektronischen Schlüssel insgesamt ein neues und aktuelles optisches Erscheinungsbild zu geben.By the invention, an electronic key is provided, which is characterized by a simple and compact design with simultaneous operation with a high level of comfort. The cover serves to protect the functional body and attached thereto or components therein from damage. In contrast to known from the prior art covers or battery compartment covers the cover covers the entire surface of the top and / or bottom of the functional body, thereby giving the electronic key according to the invention an exclusive and high-quality appearance. With the help of the locking mechanism beyond the cover is easily removed without much effort from the functional body to get, for example, access to a mounted on the functional body mechanical emergency key or on a battery compartment. But the locking mechanism also allows a comfortable replacement of the cover, which must be desirable not only in the event of damage to the cover. For example, replacement of the cover may also be desired to give the electronic key overall a new and up-to-date visual appearance.
Die Erfindung sieht in Ausgestaltung des elektronischen Schlüssels vor, dass die Abdeckung wenigstens eine zur vollflächigen Abdeckung der Oberseite oder der Unterseite dienend ausgebildete Deckschale oder dass die Abdeckung eine die Oberseite des Funktionskorpus vollflächig abdeckende erste Deckschale und eine die Unterseite des Funktionskorpus vollflächig abdeckende zweite Deckschale aufweist. Die Abdeckung kann somit von wenigstens zwei Deckschalen gebildet sein, wodurch es möglich ist, dass nur eine der beiden Deckschalen von dem Funktionskorpus gelöst wird und die andere Deckschale die Ober- oder Unterseite des Funktionskorpus nach wie vor abdeckt und damit schützt. Durch die schalenförmige Ausbildung weisen die wenigstens zwei Deckschalen an ihrem jeweiligen äußeren Rand einen Kragen auf, welcher zumindest abschnittsweise der Außenkontur des Funktionskorpus angepasst ist und diese derart umgreift, dass nur Bereiche der Längsseiten des Funktionskorpus von außen zugänglich sind, wobei die Deckschalen bis auf den Bereich der Längsseiten den Funktionskorpus spaltlos und dichtend umgeben.The invention provides in an embodiment of the electronic key, that the cover at least one for full-surface coverage of the top or the bottom serving cover shell or that the cover has a the top of the functional body over the entire surface covering the first cover shell and the underside of the functional body over the entire surface covering the second cover shell. The cover can thus be formed by at least two cover shells, whereby it is possible that only one of the two cover shells is released from the functional body and the other cover shell still covers the top or bottom of the functional body and thus protects. Due to the cup-shaped design, the at least two cover shells at their respective outer edge on a collar which is at least partially adapted to the outer contour of the functional body and this encompasses such that only portions of the longitudinal sides of the functional body are accessible from the outside, the cover shells except for Area of the long sides of the functional body surrounded gapless and sealing.
Bei einer Anordnung des Tastenelementes auf der Ober- und/oder Unterseite eines gehäuseartig ausgebildeten Schlüssels des Standes der Technik kommt es immer wieder zu einer ungewünschten Betätigung einer Taste, insbesondere wenn der aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Schlüssel zum Beispiel in der Hosentasche mittransportiert wird. Auch stellt die Befestigung der Tastenelemente insbesondere dann ein Problem dar, wenn die Batterie des elektronischen Schlüssels getauscht oder wenn auf einen im oder am Gehäuseelement angebrachten Notschlüssel zugegriffen werden soll, denn hierbei besteht in beiden Fällen die Gefahr, dass sich einzelne Tasten vom Gehäuseelement lösen können. Aus diesem Grund ist in weiterer Ausgestaltung des elektronischen Schlüssels erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das zumindest eine Tastenelement auf einer der beiden die Oberseite mit der Unterseite verbindenden Längsseiten des Funktionskorpus befestigt ist. Dadurch, dass ein jeweiliges Tastenelement auf den Längsseiten des Funktionskorpus und nicht wie im Stand der Technik auf Ober- und/oder Unterseite des gehäuseartig ausgebildeten Funktionskorpus angeordnet und angebracht ist, wird eine unbeabsichtigte Betätigung der Tasten vermieden. Insbesondere wird durch die Anordnung der Tasten an den Längsseiten (oder auch nur an einer Längsseite) des Funktionskorpus auf der Oberseite und/oder der Unterseite des Funktionskorpus Platz geschaffen, der zur Anbringung von anderen Elementen genutzt werden kann. Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung der Deckschalen ermöglicht eine Betätigung des wenigstens einen Tastenelements und gibt dieses frei, so dass es vor Betätigung des Tastenelements nicht notwendig ist, zum Beispiel eine Abdeckung des Tastenelements zu entfernen. Jedoch liegen die Deckschalen derart an dem wenigstens einen Tastenelement an, dass der Funktionskorpus insgesamt spaltlos bzw. spaltfrei und dichtend von den Deckschalen umgeben ist.In an arrangement of the key element on the top and / or bottom of a housing-like key of the prior art, it always comes back to an unwanted operation of a button, especially if the known from the prior art key, for example, in the pocket is transported. Also, the attachment of the key elements in particular is a problem when the battery of the electronic key exchanged or if you want to access an attached in or on the housing element emergency key, because this is in both cases the risk that individual keys can be detached from the housing element , For this reason, in a further embodiment of the electronic key according to the invention, it is provided that the at least one key element is fastened on one of the two longitudinal sides of the functional body connecting the upper side with the underside. Characterized in that a respective key element on the longitudinal sides of the functional body and not as in the prior art on the top and / or bottom of the housing-like functional body is arranged and mounted, an unintentional operation of the keys is avoided. In particular, by the arrangement of the buttons to the Long sides (or even only on one longitudinal side) of the functional body on the top and / or the bottom of the functional body created space that can be used for attaching other elements. The inventive arrangement of the cover shells allows actuation of the at least one key element and releases it so that it is not necessary to remove a cover of the key element prior to actuation of the key element. However, the cover shells abut against the at least one key element in such a way that the functional body as a whole is surrounded gap-free or gap-free and sealingly by the cover shells.
Die Erfindung sieht in weiterer Ausgestaltung des elektronischen Schlüssels vor, dass die Arretierungsmechanik wenigstens eine an einer ersten Stirnseite und/oder an zumindest einer Längsseite des Funktionskorpus angeordnete Einhakverbindung und wenigstens eine an der zweiten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus angeordnete formschlüssige Verbindung umfasst, durch welche wenigstens eine Deckschale am Funktionskorpus in verspannender Weise lösbar angebracht ist. Gemäß der Erfindung wird zur Anbringung einer jeweiligen Deckschale zunächst die Einhakverbindung zwischen Funktionskorpus und der entsprechenden Deckschale hergestellt, bevor dann im Anschluss daran die Deckschale mit Hilfe der Klemmverbindung an dem Funktionskorpus arretiert wird.The invention provides in a further embodiment of the electronic key that the locking mechanism comprises at least one arranged on a first end side and / or on at least one longitudinal side of the functional body hooking and at least one arranged on the second end side of the functional body form-fitting connection through which at least one cover shell is releasably attached to the functional body in a tightening manner. According to the invention, the hooking connection between the functional body and the corresponding cover shell is first produced for attaching a respective cover shell, before the cover shell is subsequently locked to the functional body by means of the clamping connection.
Hinsichtlich einer konstruktiv einfachen Möglichkeit zur Ausgestaltung der Klemmverbindung sieht die Erfindung in Weiterbildung vor, dass die wenigstens eine formschlüssige Verbindung von zumindest einem an der zweiten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus angeordneten Klemmansatz und von zumindest einem Klemmsteg gebildet ist, wobei der Klemmsteg in Nähe eines Längsendes der wenigstens einen Deckschale ausgebildet ist, das an der zweiten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus angeordnet ist, und wobei der zumindest eine Klemmansatz relativ zu dem zumindest einen Klemmsteg gegen die Kraft eines elastischen Rückstellelements aus einer Arretierungsposition, in welcher der zumindest eine Klemmansatz an dem zumindest einen Klemmsteg anliegt und eine Relativbewegung zwischen Klemmsteg und Klemmansatz verhindert, in eine Freigabeposition, in welcher der zumindest eine Klemmansatz den zumindest einen Klemmsteg freigibt, bewegbar ausgebildet ist. Auf diese Weise wird eine jeweilige Deckschale an dem Funktionskorpus arretiert, indem zunächst der Steckansatz der Deckschale mit der Ausnehmung im Funktionskorpus in Eingriff gebracht wird, bevor der Klemmansatz des Funktionskorpus gegen den Klemmsteg drückt und diesen in eine dem Steckansatz abgewandte Richtung drängt, um die Deckschale an dem Funktionskorpus zu arretieren.With regard to a structurally simple way to design the clamping connection, the invention provides in a further development that the at least one positive connection of at least one arranged on the second end face of the functional body clamping jaw and at least one clamping web is formed, wherein the clamping web in the vicinity of a longitudinal end of at least a cover shell is formed, which is arranged on the second end side of the functional body, and wherein the at least one clamping lug relative to the at least one clamping web against the force of an elastic return element from a locking position, in which the at least one clamping lug is applied to the at least one clamping web and a relative movement between the clamping bar and Clamping approach prevents, in a release position, in which the at least one clamping jaw releases the at least one clamping web, is designed to be movable. In this way, a respective cover shell is locked to the functional body by first the plug neck of the cover shell is brought into engagement with the recess in the functional body before the clamping collar of the functional body presses against the clamping web and pushes it in a direction remote from the plug approach to the cover shell to lock on the functional body.
Eine konstruktiv besonders einfache Möglichkeit zur Ausgestaltung der Einhakverbindung ist erfindungsgemäß dadurch gegeben, dass die wenigstens eine Einhakverbindung von wenigstens einer jeweils an einer Längsseite des Funktionskorpus angeformten Verriegelungsrippe und einer der jeweiligen Verriegelungsrippe zugeordneten Aufnahme gebildet ist, wobei die jeweilige zugeordnete Aufnahme an einer Längsseite der entsprechenden Deckschale ausgeformt ist, und wobei die wenigstens eine formschlüssige Verbindung die entsprechende Deckschale in Richtung der zweiten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus drängend und dadurch die wenigstens eine Verriegelungsrippe in die Aufnahme verriegelnd drückend ausgebildet ist.A structurally particularly simple way of configuring the hooked connection is provided according to the invention in that the at least one hooking connection is formed by at least one locking rib formed on one longitudinal side of the functional body and one receptacle associated with the respective locking rib, the respective associated receptacle being formed on a longitudinal side of the corresponding receptacle Deck shell is formed, and wherein the at least one positive connection, the corresponding cover shell in the direction of the second end side of the functional body urging and thereby the at least one locking rib in the receptacle is designed to be locked pushing.
Zur Lösung der Klemmverbindung an der zweiten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus sieht die Erfindung in Ausgestaltung dann weiter vor, dass zumindest ein quer zur Längsseite des Funktionskorpus betätigbares Schiebeelement vorgesehen ist, an dem der zumindest eine Klemmansatz ausgebildet ist, wobei der zumindest eine Klemmansatz und damit das zumindest eine Schiebeelement in einer Aufnahmeausnehmung, die an der zweiten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus ausgeformt ist, untergebracht und in der Aufnahmeausnehmung gegen die Kraft des elastischen Rückstellelements zwischen der Arretierungsposition und der Freigabeposition verschieblich bewegbar ausgebildet ist. Im unbetätigten Zustand des Schiebeelements ist dieses in der Arretierungsposition gehalten, so dass der Klemmansatz gegen den Klemmsteg drückt und insgesamt eine entsprechende Deckschale in klemmender und verspannender Weise an dem Funktionskorpus gehalten ist.To solve the clamping connection on the second end face of the functional body, the invention further provides in an embodiment that at least one transversely to the longitudinal side of the functional body operable sliding element is provided on which the at least one clamping lug is formed, wherein the at least one clamping lug and thus at least a sliding member in a receiving recess, which is formed on the second end face of the functional body, housed and slidably formed in the receiving recess against the force of the elastic return element between the locking position and the release position. In the unactuated state of the sliding element this is held in the locking position, so that the clamping jaw presses against the clamping web and a total of a corresponding cover shell in clamped and tightening manner is held on the functional body.
Bei einem elektronischen Schlüssel mit zwei Deckschalen ist es von besonderem Vorteil, wenn ein erstes Schiebeelement der ersten Deckschale und ein zweites Schiebeelement der zweiten Deckschale zugeordnet ist, wobei das erste und das zweite Schiebeelement jeweils einen Klemmansatz und eine Schiebetaste aufweisen, wobei der Klemmansatz des ersten Schiebeelements in einer ersten, sich von der Oberseite in Richtung der Unterseite des Funktionskorpus erstreckenden Aufnahmeausnehmung angeordnet ist und mit der außerhalb des Funktionskorpus angeordneten Schiebetaste des ersten Schiebeelements bewegungsgekoppelt ist, und wobei der Klemmansatz des zweiten Schiebeelements in einer zweiten, sich von der Unterseite in Richtung der Oberseite des Funktionskorpus erstreckenden Aufnahmeausnehmung angeordnet ist und mit der außerhalb des Funktionskorpus angeordneten Schiebetaste des zweiten Schiebeelements bewegungsgekoppelt ist. Auf diese Weise sind beide Deckschalen unabhängig voneinander von dem Funktionskorpus lösbar, so dass auch nur eine einzige Deckschale entfernt werden kann, während die andere Deckschale weiterhin am Funktionskorpus fest angebracht ist und sich nicht löst, wenn die andere Deckschale demontiert wird.In an electronic key with two cover shells, it is of particular advantage if a first sliding element of the first cover shell and a second sliding element of the second cover shell is assigned, wherein the first and the second sliding element each have a clamping attachment and a sliding button, wherein the clamping attachment of the first Sliding element is arranged in a first, extending from the upper side in the direction of the underside of the functional body receiving recess and is coupled to the outside of the functional body arranged shift key of the first sliding element, and wherein the clamping attachment of the second sliding element in a second, from the bottom in the direction the upper side of the functional body extending receiving recess is arranged and is movably coupled to the outside of the functional body arranged shift key of the second sliding element. In this way, both cover shells are independently detachable from the functional body, so that only a single cover shell can be removed, while the other cover shell is still firmly attached to the functional body and does not dissolve when the other cover shell is dismantled.
Im Hinblick auf eine ergonomische Handhabung des elektronischen Schlüssels zur Demontage der Deckschalen ist in Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass das erste Schiebeelement in einem Eckbereich der zweiten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus angeordnet ist und das zweite Schiebelement in einem dem ersten Schiebeelement gegenüberliegenden Eckbereich des Funktionskorpus angeordnet ist, wobei das erste und zweite Schiebelement aufeinander zu bewegbar ausgebildet sind. Der elektronische Schlüssel kann somit bequem in der Handfläche eines Benutzers gehalten werden, wobei zum Lösen einer Deckschale dann der Benutzer beispielsweise mit dem Daumen derselben Hand das Schiebeelement betätigen und in Richtung des anderen Schiebeelements bewegen kann, wodurch der mit dem Schiebeelement bewegungsgekoppelte Klemmansatz außer Anlage zu dem Klemmsteg gelangt, so dass die Deckschale nicht weiter verspannt an dem Funktionskorpus gehalten ist, sondern von dem Funktionskorpus gelöst und demontiert werden kann.With regard to an ergonomic handling of the electronic key for dismantling the cover shells, it is provided in an embodiment of the invention that the first sliding element is arranged in a corner region of the second end side of the functional body and the second sliding element is arranged in a corner region of the functional body opposite the first sliding element, wherein the first and second sliding element are designed to be movable towards each other. The electronic key can thus be conveniently held in the palm of a user, for releasing a cover then the user can operate, for example with the thumb of the same hand, the sliding element and move in the direction of the other sliding element, whereby the motion-coupled with the sliding element clamping attachment out of investment the clamping bar passes, so that the cover shell does not continue braced on the functional body is held, but can be solved and dismantled from the functional body.
Eine alternative Möglichkeit zur Ausgestaltung der Einhakverbindung, die aber ebenfalls konstruktiv besonders einfach ist, besteht erfindungsgemäß darin, dass die Einhakverbindung von wenigstens einer an der ersten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus ausgeformten Ausnehmung und von wenigstens einem Steckansatz gebildet ist, wobei der wenigstens eine Steckansatz an der ersten Stirnseite an zumindest einer Deckschale ausgebildet ist, und wobei die Klemmverbindung zumindest eine Deckschale in Richtung der zweiten Stirnseite des Funktionskorpus drängend und dadurch den wenigstens einen Steckansatz in die wenigstens eine Ausnehmung drückend ausgebildet istAn alternative possibility for the design of the hooking, but also structurally particularly simple, according to the invention is that the hooking of at least one formed on the first end face of the functional body recess and at least one plug-neck is formed, wherein the at least one plug-in approach to the first End face is formed on at least one cover shell, and wherein the clamping connection at least one cover shell in the direction of the second end face of the functional body urging and thereby the at least one plug-in projection in the at least one recess is formed oppressive
Ebenfalls ergonomisch günstig im Hinblick auf die Handhabung des elektronischen Schlüssels ist es, wenn ein an der zweiten Stirnseite angeordnetes Schiebeelement vorgesehen ist, welches den zumindest einen Klemmansatz aufweist und gegen die Kraft des elastischen Rückstellelements zwischen der Arretierungsposition und der Freigabeposition in Richtung der ersten Stirnseite verschieblich bewegbar ausgebildet ist.It is also ergonomically favorable with regard to the handling of the electronic key when a sliding element arranged on the second end side is provided which has the at least one clamping attachment and is displaceable against the force of the elastic restoring element between the locking position and the release position in the direction of the first end side is designed to be movable.
Aus Gründen der Kostenersparnis und der Bauteilreduzierung kann entsprechend einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung auf ein zweites Schieberelement bei zwei Deckschalen verzichtet werden, wenn das Schiebeelement I-förmig ausgebildet ist, wobei der Mittelsteg des I-förmigen Schiebeelements, insbesondere mittig, mit einer Schiebetaste bewegungsgekoppelt ist und an seinem jeweiligen an Ober- oder Unterseite des Funktionskorpus angeordneten Längsende quer zu diesem der Klemmansatz und dazu entgegengesetzt ein zur Fixierung des Schiebeelements an dem Funktionskorpus dienender Rastansatz angeformt sind. Das Schiebeelement, welches I-förmig ausgebildet ist, umgreift mit seinen an den Längsenden ausgebildeten Rastansätzen quasi das zweite Stirnende des Funktionskorpus, so dass das Schiebeelement mit den Rastansätzen nach Art einer Klammer an dem Funktionskorpus lösbar befestigbar ist. Über die Schiebetaste ist dann das Schiebeelement handhabbar, um die formschlüssige Verbindung zur Demontage einer Deckschale aufzuheben.For reasons of cost savings and component reduction can be dispensed according to an embodiment of the invention to a second slider element with two cover shells, when the sliding element is I-shaped, wherein the central web of the I-shaped sliding element, in particular centrally, is motion-coupled with a slide button and are arranged at its respective arranged at the top or bottom of the functional body longitudinal end transversely to this of the clamping collar and to the opposite serving for fixing the sliding element to the functional body latching projection. The sliding element, which is of I-shaped design, engages with its latching lugs formed at the longitudinal ends, as it were, the second front end of the functional body, so that the sliding element with the latching lugs can be releasably secured to the functional body in the manner of a clamp. About the sliding button then the sliding element is manageable to pick up the positive connection for disassembly of a cover shell.
Konstruktiv besonders günstig ist es schließlich in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, wenn ein jeweiliger Rastansatz des I-förmigen Schiebeelements hakenförmig ausgebildet ist und einen am Funktionskorpus ausgebildeten Rastvorsprung hintergreift, wobei der Klemmansatz des I-förmigen Schiebeelements in einer Aufnahmetasche einer entsprechenden Deckschale angeordnet ist, wobei eine Seitenwandung der Aufnahmetausche der Klemmsteg der entsprechenden Deckschale ist. Der Klemmansatz entspricht somit bei hergestellter formschlüssiger Verbindung einer Art Riegel, der in die Aufnahmetasche eingeschoben ist und damit die Deckschale fixiert.Finally, it is structurally particularly favorable in a further embodiment of the invention when a respective latching lug of the I-shaped sliding element is hook-shaped and engages behind a locking projection formed on the functional body, wherein the clamping lug of the I-shaped sliding element is arranged in a receiving pocket of a corresponding cover shell, wherein a side wall of the receiving exchanges the clamping web of the corresponding cover shell is. The clamping attachment thus corresponds to a form-locking connection produced a kind of latch which is inserted into the receiving pocket and thus fixes the cover shell.

In der dargestellten ersten Ausführungsform deckt die erste Deckschale 3 die Oberseite 7 des Funktionskorpus 6 vollflächig ab, wohingegen die zweite Deckschale 4 die Unterseite 8 des Funktionskorpus 6 vollflächig abdeckt. Allgemeiner ausgedrückt deckt die Abdeckung 2, die wenigstens von einer der Deckschalen 3 oder 4 gebildet ist, vollflächig die Oberseite 7 und/oder die Unterseite 8 des Funktionskorpus 6 ab. Eine Folge der baugleichen Ausführung der Deckschalen 3 und 4 ist, dass die zweite Deckschale 4 auch auf der Oberseite 7 und die erste Deckschale 3 auf der Unterseite 9 des Funktionskorpus befestigt werden könnte. Der Funktionskorpus 6 ist gehäuseförmig ausgebildet und dient zur Unterbringung von elektrischen und elektronischen Bauteilen, die zur schlüssellosen Aktivierung der Schließvorrichtung des Kraftfahrzeugs eingerichtet sind. Darüber hinaus sind die Tastenelemente 5 an dem Funktionskorpus 6 angebracht und stehen mit im Inneren des Funktionskorpus 6 angeordneten Schaltern der Elektrik und/oder Elektronik in Wirkverbindung, wobei nicht gezeigte Dichtungselemente die Zwischenräume zwischen den Tastenelementen 5 und dem Inneren des Funktionskorpus 6 abdichten, damit keine Feuchtigkeit in das Innere des Funktionskorpus 6 eindringen kann.

Dies ist nur dann möglich, wenn der Klemmsteg 23 und der Klemmansatz 22 außer Eingriff gebracht werden, d.h. wenn der Klemmansatz 22 den Klemmsteg 23 nicht mehr in Richtung der zweiten Stirnseite 11 drückt. Mit anderen Worten wird die Verspannung der Deckschale 3 dadurch aufgehoben, indem der Klemmansatz 22 derart quer zur Längsseite 6 des Funktionskörpers 6 bewegt wird, bis sich der Klemmsteg 23 der Deckschale 3 in Richtung der ersten Stirnseite 10 bewegen kann und der Klemmansatz 22 dieser Bewegung nicht mehr im Wege steht.Due to the clamping effect present between clamping
Damit der Klemmansatz 22 nicht mehr an dem Klemmsteg 23 anliegt, muss bei an dem Funktionskorpus 6 arretierter erster Deckschale 3 von einem Benutzer das erste Schiebeelement 12, das in einem Eckbereich der zweiten Stirnseite 11 des Funktionskorpus 6 vorgesehen und dort an dem Funktionskorpus 6 angebracht ist, betätigt werden. Das erste Schiebeelement 12 umfasst einen quaderförmigen Körper 26, an dem der Klemmansatz 22 ausgebildet ist und von dem seitlich das elastische Rückstellelement 25 absteht, eine Schiebetaste 28 und einen Verbindungssteg 27, der den quaderförmigen Körper 26 mit der Schiebetaste 28 verbindet. Die Einzelteile des mehrteiligen Schiebeelements 12 werden erst bei Montage des Schiebeelements 12 an dem Funktionskorpus 6 und vor Befestigung der ersten Deckschale 3 zusammengebaut. Für das erste Schiebeelement 12 ist an dem Funktionskorpus 6 eine erste Aufnahmeausnehmung 29 (siehe zum Beispiel
Der elektronische Schlüssel 1 kann lediglich mit einer einzigen Deckschale 3 versehen sein, so dass die Montage und Demontage der (ersten und) einzigen Deckschale 3 wie vorstehend beschrieben erfolgen kann. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist jedoch neben der von der ersten Deckschale 3 vollflächig abgedeckten Oberseite 7 auch die Unterseite 8 des Funktionskorpus 6 vollflächig abgedeckt, wozu die zweite Deckschale 4 verwendet wird. Um die zweite Deckschale 4 an dem Funktionskorpus 6 zu befestigen und von dem Funktionskorpus 6 wieder zu demontieren, ist vorgesehen, dass die Arretierungsmechanik 14 des elektronischen Schlüssels 1 der ersten Ausführungsform eine weitere Einhakverbindung 15 an der ersten Stirnseite 10 und eine weitere formschlüssige Verbindung 16 an der zweiten Stirnseite 11 umfasst, die nun aber zwischen der zweiten Deckschale 4 und dem Funktionskorpus 6 an dessen Unterseite 8 ausgebildet ist, wie zum Beispiel aus
Bei montierten Deckschalen 3, 4 bewirkt somit die Betätigung eines entsprechenden Schiebeelements 12, 13 eine Bewegung des zugeordneten Klemmansatzes 22 des quaderförmigen Körpers 26 relativ zu dem Klemmsteg 23 der entsprechenden Deckschale 3, 4. Um den quaderförmigen Körper 26 bei seiner Bewegung zwischen Arretierungsposition und Freigabeposition zu leiten, ist eine Bewegungsführungsausnehmung 33 vorgesehen, die jeweils in der dem Funktionskorpus 6 zugewandten Innenseite der entsprechenden Deckschale 3, 4 ausgeformt ist und eine seitliche Bewegung des Schiebeelements 12 oder 13 quer zur Längsseite 6 in Richtung des nicht betätigten Schiebeelements 12 oder 13 quasi führt und bei Demontage eine Bewegung der Deckschale 3, 4 in Richtung der ersten Stirnseite 10 ermöglicht.When mounted

Nach Herstellung der Einhakverbindung wird anschließend dann die Klemmverbindung 116 hergestellt, wie durch
Mit Bezug auf
Zur Arretierung der ersten und zweiten Deckschale 103, 104 an dem Funktionskorpus 106 werden die jeweiligen Steckansätze 118 (siehe zum Beispiel
Damit der Klemmansatz 120 nicht mehr an dem Klemmsteg 121 anliegt, muss bei an dem Funktionskorpus 106 arretierter erster und zweiter Deckschale 103, 104 von einem Benutzer ein Schiebeelement 124, das an der zweiten Stirnseite 111 des Funktionskorpus 106 vorgesehen ist, betätigt werden. Das Schiebeelement 124 weist den Klemmansatz 120 auf und ist zwischen der Arretierungsposition und einer Freigabeposition, in welcher der Klemmansatz 120 außer Anlage zu dem Klemmsteg 121 gebracht ist, in Richtung der ersten Stirnseite 110 des Funktionskorpus 106 verschieblich bewegbar ausgebildet. Das Schiebeelement 124 ist im Wesentlichen im Querschnitt I-förmig ausgebildet (siehe zum Beispiel
Die Schiebetaste 126 ist von außen für einen Benutzer handhabbar, indem die Schiebetaste 126 bzw. das Schiebeelement 124 in Richtung der ersten Stirnseite 110 des Funktionskorpus 106 gedrückt wird, wobei der Benutzer das Schiebeelement 124 entgegen der Kraft eines elastischen Rückstellelements 131 bewegen muss, will er die formschlüssigen Verbindungen 116 für die erste und zweite Deckschale 103, 104 oder auch nur für eine der beiden Deckschalen 103 oder 104 lösen. Durch das Drücken des Schiebeelements 124 in Richtung der ersten Stirnseite 110 des Funktionskorpus 106 wird der nach Art eines Riegels wirkende Klemmansatz 120 außer Anlage mit dem Klemmsteg 121 gebracht und gelangt dadurch aus der Aufnahmetasche 122 der Deckschale 103, 104, so dass die Deckschale 103, 104 zur Demontage von dem Funktionskörper 106 weggeschwenkt werden kann.The sliding
Das elastische Rückstellelement 131 ist in eine Öffnung in der zweiten Stirnseite 111 des Funktionskorpus 106 eingesetzt und ist in Verlängerung der Schiebetaste 126 und in ihrer Betätigungsrichtung angeordnet. Die Schiebetaste 126 ist in jedem Fall bei Demontage einer Deckschale 103, 104 zu betätigen, denn die zweite Ausführungsform sieht nur eine einzige Schiebetaste 126 vor, mit der sowohl die erste Deckschale 103 als auch die zweite Deckschale 104 (gemeinsam oder separat oder nur eine von beiden) von dem Funktionskorpus 106 gelöst werden können. Im Gegensatz zum ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die eine einzige Schiebetaste 126 bei dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel nicht mehr in einem Eckbereich sondern zentral an der zweiten Stirnseite 111 des Funktionskorpus 106 angeordnet.The

Es ist ersichtlich, dass an den in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsformen zahlreiche, dem Fachmann entsprechend der beabsichtigten Anwendung naheliegende Abänderungen vorgenommen werden können, ohne dass dadurch der Bereich der Erfindung verlassen wird. Beispielsweise können auch mehr als zwei Deckschalen oder nur eine einzige Deckschale die Abdeckung 2, 102 bilden. Auch denkbar ist es, dass die Einhakverbindung 15, 115 bei der ersten Ausführungsform statt an wenigstens einer der beiden Längsseiten 9 an der ersten Stirnseite 10 und bei der zweiten Ausführungsform statt an der ersten Stirnseite 110 wenigstens an einer der beiden Längsseiten 109 oder für beide Ausführungsformen sowohl an der ersten Stirnseite 10, 110 als auch an wenigstens einer der beiden Längsseiten 9, 109 ausgebildet ist. Es gehört zur Erfindung alles dasjenige, was in der Beschreibung enthalten und/oder in der Zeichnung dargestellt ist, einschließlich dessen, was abweichend von den konkreten Ausführungsbeispielen für den Fachmann naheliegt.Of course, the invention described above is not limited to the described and illustrated embodiments. It will be appreciated that numerous modifications which are obvious to a person skilled in the art according to the intended application can be made to the embodiments shown in the drawing without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, more than two cover shells or only a single cover shell the
