    Controllable knob
    The invention relates to a controllable rotary control, in particular for rotary switches. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for controlling switch shafts, in particular Drehschaltem.
    A rotary switch is generally an electrotechnical component in which switching states can be set by mechanical rotary motion. In particular, reference will subsequently be made to a specific embodiment of a rotary switch, namely a rotary potentiometer, in which a rotary knob is mechanically combined via a shaft with a potentiometer. The term potentiometer designates in the further embodiments an electrical resistance component whose resistance values can be changed mechanically via operating elements (here in particular by turning).
    Potentiometers are used in a variety of electrical devices, such as to adjust the volume in radios or to tune the sound of analog effects or amplifiers in electric guitars or other electrically amplified musical instruments.
    However, the problem is that you have to manually adjust such potentiometers. Especially in the music field, where the effect devices mentioned above are used, there is often a need to change the settings of the effects device during a piece of music. Since this is not possible, several effect devices with different settings must be used, which causes high costs, which are particularly problematic for amateur musicians.
    Although digital effects devices are already in widespread use, they can switch between different sounds within fractions of a second. However, the sound quality of such digital effect devices is not as good as analog, since digital effects devices only mimic analog effect devices.
    The entire signal chain from a musical instrument such as a guitar, or their pickups, up to the amplifier (also analog, since almost always tube amplifiers are used) is analog. Thus, the intervening effects should be analogue in nature. In the digitization of data or information, as in the present case the sounds from the pickup, there is always a loss of information, i. Information is lost and the quality of the signal (here: the sound) decreases. High quality D / A and 2 A / D converters that convert digital information into analog information and vice versa are very expensive and cost upwards of EUR 500.
    It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a solution with which potentiometers can be adjusted in a simple and reproducible manner.
    This object is achieved with a controllable dial mentioned above according to the invention that the knob has at least one supportable, remote-controlled drive unit and at least one control panel, the control panel and drive unit rotatably and detachably be arranged on a switch shaft.
    Thanks to the invention, it is possible to set rotary switches, in particular rotary potentiometers, reproducibly to certain values. The controllable knob can be easily applied to the switch shaft without massive structural changes must be made to the device with the rotary switch. For rotary potentiometers with a rotary shaft and a rotary knob mounted thereon, the rotary knob is removed and the rotary knob is attached to the rotary shaft. The non-rotatable connection between the knob and the switch shaft allows driving of the switch shaft by the drive unit and the rotation of the switch shaft to any switch position.
    For this purpose, the drive unit can be supported, for example, by adhering to the Schaltcrgehäuse or otherwise positively or non-positively, but in any case firmly and preferably releasably connected. The term switch housing here is to be understood as meaning any housing which surrounds the rotary switch on which the controllable rotary control is applied - if, for example, the rotary switch is installed in an amplifier, it is the amplifier housing, the rotary switch is installed in an analog effect device , is the case of the effects unit. In any case, the area on which the drive unit can be supported is to be selected so that it remains stationary when the switch shaft rotates. Due to the remote operation, for example via cables, which also ensure the power supply of the rotary control, the switch shaft can be brought to any position.
    By the solution according to the invention, for example, the handling of analog effect devices in electric guitars or amplifiers can be significantly easier. Thanks to the remote operability, the drive unit can be controlled, for example via a control unit, in such a way that certain settings of the rotary switch of the device (for example, effect device or amplifier) can be implemented quickly and reproducibly. The user of the (e.g.) -3-
    The effect device no longer has to manually change the settings, but can quickly make these changes by activating the drive unit.
    Nowadays, there is no system that facilitates the handling of analog effect devices in such a way. The sound quality is not affected by the retrofitting, which is very important for professional musicians and recording studio operators.
    For example, during a piece of music, especially during a performance, unproblematic changes to the settings of the effect devices can be made, since this process can be carried out quickly. It is also no longer necessary to run the effect units used redundant (since different sounds must be preset), which leads to a cost savings. Conveniently, a position encoder unit connected to the drive unit is provided in the dial. About this position encoder unit can be determined how far the switch shaft to which the knob is plugged, is rotated, or should be adjusted by the drive unit of the knob. These data can then be further processed, for example via a control unit. The position encoder unit can be designed as a separate hardware component, which is connected to the drive unit and determines the movement of the drive unit. In a variant of the invention, however, the position transmitter unit can also be implemented by software, for example in a control unit with which the rotary knob can be connected.
    To ensure the supportability of the drive unit, for example, a support element may be provided so that the drive unit can be supported via the at least one support element. The support member may for example be designed as an L-shaped support which is fixedly connected at one end to the drive unit. The other end of the support can be connected to support with a solid body near the switch shaft, for example, with the housing of the device in which the switch shaft associated switch is housed. Preferably, the support member is releasably secured without damage, for example by means of gluing, soldering or similar methods. Conveniently, the support member has at least one support and at least one bottom element, wherein the bottom element extends in the assembled state of the rotary knob in a plane normal to the Schaltcrwelle. The bottom element can be designed, for example, annularly (surrounding the switch shaft). This also provides a larger surface for attachment. The support (which may also be L-shaped here, for example) and the bottom element are preferably firmly connected to each other. -4- About the bottom element also results in another solution for a firm support of the knob, which can be used with analog effects, amplifiers and similar devices: Usually here rotary switch with hex nuts are mounted in the device; Therefore, here can be realized a non-positive connection by the Drehreglcr is applied to the switch shaft, that the bottom element is screwed tight with the hex nut.
    In a variant of the invention, the control unit is designed as a knob-shaped housing surrounding the drive unit. This operation is possible as with ordinary rotary switches. In principle, however, the control panel can be designed as desired, for example as a rotary knob or lever.
    The drive unit is an electric motor, wherein in the mounted state of the rotary control, the motor shaft is parallel or normal to the switch shaft. In the second case, in which the motor shaft is normal to the switch shaft, a force deflection can be provided accordingly, for example via intermeshing gears or deflections with belt.
    Generally, a high torque drive unit is desirably used to enable precise control of the knob, even in small increments. In such a case, it is advantageous if at least one transmission is arranged between the electric motor and the operating element. Thus, if necessary, the properties of the drive can be adapted to the requirements of the invention.
    In a variant of the invention, a control device is provided in the dial. This control device can be connected to the drive unit and serves to control the drive unit. Furthermore, settings of the rotary control or the drive unit can be stored with the control device, for example in an integrated memory module. Thanks to such a control device, the rotary knob can be better controlled from the outside, for example via a bus system such as CAN in a daisy-chain system (that is, a serial coupling of encoders); then the corresponding connections in the dial must be provided.
    As mentioned at the beginning, the communication with the rotary knob is basically via a cable connection. About such cable connections, the rotary control can be controlled, for example, via a bus system. Using cables, the controller is also supplied with energy. It is important to ensure that the signal transmission from a certain -5- PI1777
    Cable length loses quality or that there may be time delays due to the transmission link.
    In a further embodiment of the invention, the rotary control has at least one communication unit which is set up for wireless communication, and furthermore at least one antenna and at least one energy storage device are provided. The energy storage device can be designed, for example, as a battery or as a rechargeable battery. The communication unit may be connected to the drive unit and / or to the control device accommodated in the control dial.
    The object of the invention is further achieved by a system mentioned at the outset, comprising at least one controllable rotary control according to one of the above-mentioned embodiments, and at least one control unit having at least one processing device, at least one memory device and at least one communication device for communicating with the controllable rotary controls.
    Thanks to this solution, it is possible to control one or more of the above-described rotary control and bring the associated rotary switch quickly and reproducibly to different settings. The respective settings of the rotary switches are determined and set via the processing device. The determination is carried out for example via an encoder unit, which is advantageously connected to the drive unit and transmits rotational movements of the rotary control to the processing device, which converts them into positions. However, such an encoder unit can also be realized by software in the control unit, where it records the movements of the drive unit in the rotary encoders and converts into positions of the switch shafts. The settings of the rotary switches (ie their angle) can be stored in the memory device and thus played back as often as desired. About the communication device, which communicates for example via a cable connection with the rotary control, the respective signals are transmitted. At the same time, the controllers are supplied with energy.
    Advantageously, at least one operating device is provided in the system. The operating device is operated by a user and conveniently connected to the control unit. When using such a device, which is operable for example via a foot pedal, the settings stored in the memory device for the rotary control can be accessed by pressing the HMI device. This means that a large number of rotary controls can be managed without the user having to operate the control unit or even the control dial by hand. -6-
    In a variant of the invention, the operating device is a MIDI controller. MIDI is a type of protocol that is widely used in the musical industry (MIDI = musical instrument digital interface) and is particularly favorable when using the invention in connection with analog effect devices: nowadays musicians often use a so-called MIDI board (with said pedal control). at live shows and in the studio as a conversion option for his numerous effects / amplifiers. By using MIDI you can easily connect other effects devices.
    In a further variant of the invention, the control unit has at least one update interface via which the system can be connected to the Internet. This makes it easy to carry out any updates to the system software. Furthermore, it is theoretically possible to operate the system remotely via remote control: the operator of the control unit may thus be located far away.
    In the system, a bus system may be provided, via which the control unit is connected to at least one rotary knob. Conveniently, the bus system is arranged in the control unit. The rotary control has to be an embodiment with a control device so that the control commands transmitted via the bus system can be executed correctly.
    The communication device of the control unit can also be set up for wireless communication and have at least one communication antenna, wherein the system has at least one of the above-mentioned rotary control, which is set up for wireless communication.
    In a further variant of the invention, the control units are designed as control modules and assigned exactly to a rotary control, and the system further comprises a module receiving device, in which the control modules can be releasably introduced. The control modules can be designed, for example, as plug-in cards. This allows the system to be expanded modularly - in theory, the number of connectable potentiometer controllers is unlimited. The invention thus provides a modular system for the automatic control of potentiometers. There are no aural losses or unwanted changes to the sound.

    The system 1 according to the invention for controlling at least one switch shaft is shown in FIG. 1 by means of the example of an effect device for an electric guitar, the effect device using rotary potentiometers for adjusting the effects. Of course, the system according to the invention can also be used for rotary switches in other contexts.
    In Fig. 1, a control unit 2 is shown, which is connected to a series of analog effect devices 3, 3 ', 3 ", 3"'. connected is. The sound of effect devices 3, 3 ', 3 ", 3"' is thereby adjusted by potentiometers with knobs as controls. For example, so-called "wah-wah" pedals, pedals for controlling the volume, etc., can also be set by a suitable control. The first effect device 3, which is selected by way of example, has the rotary control 5 according to the invention. In this case, the control panel is designed knob-shaped - it should be noted once again that this version of the control panel is only one of several options.

    Fig. 2 shows the front panel of a control unit 2. In Fig. 3, the control unit 2 is shown in a diagrammatic representation.
    The illustration in FIG. 3 shows the components of the system 1 according to the invention in one exemplary embodiment. A rotary control 5 and a control unit 2 are shown by way of example. Of course, the system 1 according to the invention comprises more than one rotary control 5, but for illustration purposes only one single rotary control 5 is involved shown.
    3 shows the main components of the control unit 2, namely at least one processing device 6 and at least one memory device 7. The entire software that is required for the operation of the system according to the invention is usually located in the control unit 2 - the dials 5 are as such ( at least in the present embodiment) "stupid". Below, a variant is described in which parts of the control electronics are outsourced to the rotary control 5.
    The control unit 2 comprises, as an important point, the drive control, that is to say the electronics which control the drive unit in the rotary control 5 (see, for example, FIG. 6 or the associated description) and bring it to a predetermined position. This electronics is housed in the processing device 6. This electronics also determines the values of the rotary controller 5, for example, by converting the information of an integrated into the drive unit 18 (or connected thereto) position encoder unit 25 (in Fig. 3 only indicated) in positions or rotation angle of the rotary switch.
    This position encoder unit 25 can be implemented, for example, as an encoder or resolver, but also in software (for example as a pedometer) in the control unit 2. In principle, drive units 18 with associated positioner units are known to the person skilled in the art. By means of appropriate software in the processing device 6, various programs can be run, for example, that a knob 5 of a potentiometer with a certain frequency for a certain time back and forth between two different predetermined rotation angles. There is also the possibility of using a clock signal, which can be sent via MIDI, as the timing unit (MIDI clock). Another possibility is that the rotary knob 5 goes from a certain rotational position in a given time to the left stop (zero) - fade out. PI1777 PI1777 «*« * * * * I * * * * * * -9-
    The control unit 2 further comprises a communication device 8, via which the control unit 2 communicates with the rotary controls 5. Dashed line in Fig. 3, a communication antenna 9 is further indicated, which is connected to the communication device 8 - it should be provided when the communication device 8 communicates wirelessly.
    The control unit 2 further optionally includes an update interface 10 for software updates via the Internet. This update interface 10 can be used as Ethernet, USB, or similar. be executed. This makes it possible to update software or additional features. Via this interface, a remote operation ("remote control") can also be realized. Usually, a cable [connection (not shown in the figures) is provided between the rotary controls 5 and the control unit 2. This cable connection transmits commands of the processing device 6 of the control unit 2 and supplies the rotary control 5 with energy. In a variant of the invention may be a wireless or wireless connection; In this case, a communication unit 30 (indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 3) and a separate (preferably rechargeable) energy supply are provided in the rotary controls 5.
    The control unit 7 of the control unit 2 now stores, for each rotary control 5, the settings preset by the user (for example in the form of the deflection angles). Each stored data record is assigned a memory number which can be read on the control unit 2 via a display 11 - the display 11 shown in FIG. 1 (and FIG. 2) shows the value "19". As can be seen in Figure 2, the control panel for the user comprises a series of buttons and a display for displaying and inputting additional information; Here, by way of example only, the connection 4 'for the MIDI controller is called, as well as the rotary controller connections 5'. The other advertisements are not relevant in the context of the present embodiments and are therefore not explained in detail.
    In a variant of the invention, also shown in Fig. 3, the system 1 further comprises a bus system 26 (e.g., a CAN bus). The bus system 26 is arranged for example in the control unit 2 and is used for communication with the rotary controls 5. The rotary control 5 are connected via the bus system 26 to the control unit 2, for example via a daisy-chain system in which the Knob 5 are connected together and only one knob is connected to the control unit. In this way, on the one hand can save cable, on the other hand, the wiring remains manageable and visually appealing. Furthermore, by providing a bus system 26, the distance between the rotary encoders 5 and the control unit 2 can be greatly increased because the range is increased. - 10- P11777 The cable connections 27 exchange information between the control unit 2 and the rotary controls. In addition, the power supply via a separate cable connection. For clarity, these compounds are not shown.
    Since only information can be transmitted in a control via a bus system 26 / it may be necessary to equip the rotary control 5 with separate motor controls in the form of a control device 28. This control device 28 serves to control the drive unit as well as to carry out the proper communication with the control unit 2. Accordingly, the control unit 2 must be set up for communication by means of bus system 26.
    For the sake of completeness it should be mentioned that, of course, such control devices can also be provided if no bus system 26 is used. The controller 28 may also be coupled to a memory module 29 for storing settings and signals.
    If Knob 5 is described as "smart" as described above. Component (ie with control device 28) which is connected via a bus system, such as a bus. CAN is controlled, so advantageously the processing device 6, the memory device 7 and a communication device 6 can be integrated directly in the dial 5. The control unit 2 then conveniently has a further communication device in order to communicate with the rotary controls 5 via the corresponding bus system.
    When using a bus system 26, two variants are possible in principle: 1) The settings of the rotary control 5 are stored in the storage device 7 of the control unit 2. Upon invoking the settings, for example by activating the corresponding MIDI memory location, the control unit 2 transmits the setting to the rotary control 5, or activates the drive unit 18 to take this setting. The control device 28 in the rotary control then mainly serves for proper communication between the rotary control 5 and the control unit 2 via the bus system 26 and for the proper control of the drive unit 18. 2) The settings of the rotary control 5 are in the control device 28 (or in the associated memory module 29 ) filed in an orderly manner. When changing the settings of the knob 5 by the user, only the memory to be set
    Called values, the calling and correct adjustment of the rotational positions is then carried out by the rotary control 5 and its control device 28th
    In a variant of the invention (not shown in the figures), the number of controllable rotary control 5 is modularly expandable. For this purpose, the control units are designed as control modules (for example in the form of plug-in cards) and the system 1 further comprises a module receiving device into which the control modules can be releasably inserted. Each control module is associated with exactly one rotary control 5 and comprises all the above-mentioned components of the control unit 2.
    The system according to the illustrated embodiment now works by inputting a command via the HMI device 4 (e.g., MIDI controller) (for example, stepping on a switch with your foot). It should be noted that there are already various MIDI connectors and thus different protocols, such as. Ethernet MIDI, Wireless MIDI, etc. The HMI device 4 then forwards the command (e.g., "A" setting) to all the connected devices, which then send each of the "A " call up predefined settings.
    In principle, it is also possible to use other operating devices instead of MIDI, which can communicate via Bluetooth, LAN, WLAN, USB, etc., for example.
    The typical use of the system according to the invention thus comprises the following steps - set forth below with reference to the exemplary application to an analog effect device:
    First, the rotary knobs originally present on the rotary potentiometers of the effect unit 3 are removed and the rotary knobs 5 according to the invention are attached non-rotatably;
    The desired settings are made on the rotary controls 5; in this case may be provided by software rotation support by possible rotational resistance of the rotary control (eg friction torque of gear or motor) can be reduced by using the drive unit 18: as soon as a movement (for example, turning by a user) is registered on the dial 5, supports the drive unit 18 this movement - depending on the acceleration or deceleration, the software responds accordingly to the drive unit 18, the entire knob 5 rotates and the user feels a very smooth adjustment process; Conveniently, the values of the settings are determined via position transmitter units in the rotary regulator 5; * i PI1777 ·· * ·· * * * * * * * *
    -12-
    These settings (positions or angles of the dials 5) are stored in the memory device 7 of the control unit 2 (or, as described above when using a bus system, in the memory module 29 of the stub device of the dial 5) and given a memory number (here Case: a MIDI number) assigned; By way of the operating device 4 (or also via control buttons 12, 13 on the control unit 2 -see also FIG. 2), the MIDI "number" can be selected, for example, by clicking on a floor pedal. be changed in the control unit 2, with the result that the rotary knob 5 by means of activation of its drive unit, the on this "number " stored position.
    The further figures now deal in greater detail with the rotary encoders 5 according to the invention. The components control device 28 and memory module 29 as well as the communication unit 30 shown in FIG. 3 are not shown in FIGS. 4A to 8B for reasons of clarity.
    FIGS. 4A and 4B show, for the time being, a conventional rotary switch 14 from above (FIG. 4A) or from the side (FIG. 4B). In Fig. 4B, the rotary knob 15 can be seen, which is mounted rotatably on a switch shaft 16. To use the rotary control 5 of the invention, this knob 15 must be removed.
    FIG. 5A shows a perspective view of a rotary control 5, wherein in particular its housing 17 can be seen. The housing 17 is designed knob-shaped and the drive unit surrounding. Fig. 5B shows a rotary knob which is plugged onto a switch shaft 16.
    Fig. 6 shows the interior of a rotary knob 5 according to the invention, which is plugged onto a switch shaft 16: Inside there is a drive unit 18, for example a servo or electric motor. The motor shaft 21 is normal to the switch shaft 16, for deflection, a first gear 22 and a drive gear 23 are provided. The drive gear 23 is rotatably connected to the switch shaft 16. The drive gear 23 can be optimized for any switch waveforms and diameters. As already mentioned, a direct transmission of the engine torque to the switch shaft 16 is possible by the drive unit 18 is mounted so that the motor shaft 21 is parallel to the switch shaft 16. Also, by providing a gearbox, the function can be supported.
    The drive unit 18 is supported via a support element, wherein the support element consists of an L-shaped support 19 and a bottom element 20. Support 19 and bottom member 20 are firmly connected. The bottom member 20 is circular in shape, wherein in its center the switch shaft 16 protrudes; the bottom element 20 is normal in a plane on the switch shaft 16 and increases the bearing surface of the support element. To support the floor element with the switch housing (not shown) can be connected, for example by gluing, soldering or similar methods that do not damage the Schaltergehäu-se and allow a residue-free removal.
    The term switch housing here are to be understood to mean all housings which surround the rotary switch on which the controllable throttle controller is applied - if, for example, the rotary switch is installed in an amplifier, if the amplifier housing is involved, the rotary switch is installed in an analog effect device , is the case of the effects unit. In any case, the area on which the drive unit can be supported is to be selected so that it remains stationary when the switch shaft rotates. By supporting the drive unit 18 ensures that the engine torque is properly transmitted to the switch shaft 16.
    The housing holder 24 connects the housing (not shown in Fig. 6) rotatably connected to the switch shaft 16. In the present case, the holder is attached directly to the switch shaft 16; In other embodiments, the housing mount 24 may also be attached directly to the drive shaft 23 or (if no power steering and / or transmission devices are used) directly to the motor shaft 21. By turning the housing, on the one hand, the switch shaft 16 is rotated, on the other hand, the motor shaft 21 is moved, so that the angular movement of the rotary knob 5 can be determined. This is done by evaluation in the control unit 2, possibly using a position sensor element (not shown) in the rotary control 5, which determines the angle change and transmits it to the control unit 2.
    In Fig. 6, the dial 5 has two "touch points". with its environment: on the one hand, the drehfestc (but releasable) connection with the switch shaft 16 via the housing holder 24 and the drive gear 23, on the other hand the support via the support element with L-shaped support 19 and bottom element 20. In Fig. 8A is shown again, as the support element, consisting of L-shaped support 19 and bottom element 20, with the drive unit 18 (shown in phantom) is connected and supports them. The housing holder 24 is also shown. In Fig. 8B can be seen how the housing holder 24 is on the one hand connected to the housing 17, on the other hand, however, includes the switch shaft 16 and rotatably connected thereto. In Fig. 8B, the bottom member 20 is not shown; this is done on the one hand for reasons of clarity, on the other hand it is a variant of the invention in which the support element consists only of the L-shaped support 19. This variant is also shown in FIG. 7.
    For reasons of clarity, the cables for controlling or powering the rotary control 5 are not shown in the cited figures. It is also referred to the variant of the invention, in which the control is wireless and the rotary control 5 are accordingly equipped with transceivers and power supply facilities, which is also not shown. 2010
