Touch control module (13) with haptic feedback destined to be mounted on a control panel (5) of a motor vehicle via at least two fixing lugs (11) and fixation means wherein the fixation means comprise screws (1, 29) fastened to the control panel (5) perpendicular to the outer surface (7) of the control panel (5) for holding the touch control module (13) characterized in that silent blocks (9) are disposed between the fixing lugs (11) and the fixation means in that the fixation means comprise:spacers (15) for pre-loading longitudinally the silent blocks (9) and,retention means (17) for holding the spacers (15) in position on the screws (1, 29).

The invention relates to an operating unit (10) for an electrical apparatus, in particular for a vehicle component such as, for example, a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning installation, which is provided with a housing (12), an operating strip (18) and a support element (32) for the operating strip (18), which is arranged in the housing (12). The operating strip (18) is mounted on the support element (32) about a tilt axis that extends transversely to the longitudinal extension of the operating strip (18). The support element (32) is tiltable in at least one pivoting direction and about a pivot axis (34) that extends parallel to the longitudinal extension of the operating strip (18) from a rest position, in which the support element (32) is elastically prestressed, into a pivot position, which is detected by a pivot position sensor (42, 44). Two tilt detection sensors (52, 54) detect a tilting of the operating strip (18) about the tilt axis when the operating strip (18) is actuated by manually pressing against an operating panel (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) of the operating strip (18). Finally, the operating unit (10) is provided with an evaluation and operating unit for receiving the signals of the pivot position sensor (42, 44) and the tilt detection sensors (52, 54) and for determining, on the basis of the signals emitted by the tilt detection sensors (52, 54), the operating field (22, 24, 26, 28, 30) on which, upon manual actuation of the operating strip (18), the finger of one hand is applied with an actuating force required for adopting the pivot position of the support element (32) and for triggering the apparatus function that is associated with the determined operating field (22, 24, 26, 28, 30).

An operating device includes a casing, an operating button arranged at the casing for the manual actuation of the operating device, and a printed circuit board that is arranged in the casing. A switching element is mechanically coupled to the operating button and arranged on the printed circuit board. The switching element produces a pronounced sound when the operating button is actuated. To this end, next to the switching element, the printed circuit board is mechanically connected to the casing by at least one support element and each support element is designed to stabilize the printed circuit board against a tremor that is produced by the switching element when producing the sound.

An operator control system includes switches, RFID transponders, and a RFID reader. Each switch has a cap support and a switch cap. The switch caps are respectively interchangeably attachable to the cap supports. The RFID transponders are respectively attached to the switch caps. Each RFID transponder stores a respective piece of information identifying a respective control function so that the switch cap to which the RFID transponder is attached is associated with the respective control function. The RFID reader is arranged on at least one of the switches for reading the piece of information of at least one of the RFID transponders.

A push button illumination structure includes a light emitting base part having transparency, and a button body part configured to be molded as one body with the light emitting base part. The button body part includes: a fixed leg part configured to elastically support the light emitting base part; a push-in column configured to apply pressure to a switch; and a light shielding wall part configured to protrude on a back side of the light emitting base part, and having a frame shape. The light shielding wall part is formed at a position corresponding to an outer shape of the light emitting base part in a plan view. The push button illumination structure is configured to cause light emitted from a light source arranged inside with respect to the light shielding wall part in the plan view to be reflected by an inner surface of the light shielding wall part.

A display control device comprises a support arm, a control panel, and a signal transmission circuit board. A first end of the support arm is configured to install the main control screen. A second end of the support arm is extended in a direction away from a front surface of the main control screen, and the control panel is arranged on the second end of the support arm. The control panel is configured to output a trigger signal. The signal transmission circuit board is configured to transmit the trigger signal to a host of the vehicle, the signal transmission circuit board is further configured to receive a display signal and transmit the display signal to the control panel, the display signal is configured to control the control panel to display corresponding vehicle status information. A display equipment and a vehicle are also provided.

A steering apparatus (2) for a motor vehicle has a handle (4) set up to be grasped by the hands of a driver of the motor vehicle during an operation of the steering apparatus (2). A hub (6) connects the steering apparatus (2) to a steering column of the motor vehicle and spokes (8) connect the handle element (4) to the hub body (6). The hub (6) has at least one digital display (10) for displaying operating parameters of the motor vehicle.

A switch device includes a push switch including first and second push portions that are parallel arranged, and an operating switch arranged between the first and second push portions and including a switch operation direction different from a switch operation direction of the first and second push portions.
