Publication number: 20240145946Abstract: A contact spring arrangement includes a carrier structure which has a support wall made of a conductive material. A contact spring has a base limb, held in a fixed position with respect to the support wall, and a clamping limb which, together with the support wall, forms a plug socket narrowing in the insertion direction for a core of an electrical conductor. A release member is guided displaceably in a guide body in the insertion direction with respect to the support wall and has an actuation arm which, in a release position, engages on a flank of the clamping limb facing towards the plug socket and holds the clamping limb, counter to the spring force, in a position bent back towards the base limb. The carrier structure forms a stop which limits the range of movement of the release member in the insertion direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: HARTING Electric Stiftung & Co.

Patent number: 11946652Abstract: An electromagnetic valve has a magnetic coil and a movable element coupled to a valve element. The magnetic coil, when excited, conveys the movable element in one direction to move the valve element from its initial position into its active position. A control circuit for the electromagnetic valve has a current source for optionally supplying current to the magnetic coil and a measuring device for measuring a voltage level of the magnetic coil and/or a current level through the magnetic coil. A monitoring unit which is connected to the measuring device establishes a switching state of the electromagnetic valve corresponding to the position of its valve element based on the intended current supply state of the current source and the current and/or voltage characteristic measured by the measuring device and, if appropriate, determines a fault state of the current supply and/or the electromagnetic valve.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Diehl AKO Stiftung & Co.

Patent number: 11861102Abstract: A method for operating a capacitive touch-sensitive switch having a capacitive sensor element and a sensor circuit includes initially setting a scanning frequency of the capacitive touch-sensitive switch with a good signal-to-noise ratio and then operating the capacitive touch-sensitive switch at a scanning frequency which has been set to detect switch actuation. The process of setting the scanning frequency includes operating the touch-sensitive switch using a first measurement method and at a selected scanning frequency, detecting the measurement signals from the sensor circuit and checking whether the detected measurement signals contain or could contain a critical alias effect. If no critical alias effect and no possibility of a critical alias effect are detected during the check, the scanning frequency can be set as the selection frequency for detection operation of the touch-sensitive switch. A capacitive touch-sensitive switch is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Diehl AKO Stiftung & Co.
