  • Operating apparatus for a vehicle component and method for producing feedback
    Patent number: 11505066
    Abstract: An operating apparatus for a vehicle component comprises an operating panel (12) as well as an electric motor (34) mechanically coupled thereto with an unbalance mass. A detector (20) can capture the contact of the operating panel (12) by a user. A sensor (46) is provided in order to set exactly the number of revolutions of the electric motor in response to the contact of the operating panel by a user. The number of revolutions of the rotor is determined via this sensor.
    Type: Grant

  • OPERATING SYSTEM FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, INTERIOR PART AND STEERING WHEEL WITH AN OPERATING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20190310099
    Abstract: An operating system for a motor vehicle has an operating surface with at least one operating area that is indicated by a symbol system on the operating surface, a touch sensor system by means of which a touch of the operating area is detectable, a drive for generating a haptic feedback by a movement of the operating surface, a drive frame which connects the drive to the operating surface in a force-transmitting manner, and an operating system carrier relative to which the operating surface is movable for generating the haptic feedback. An elastically pretensioned mounting is provided between the drive frame and the operating system carrier.
