Description

Steuerknüppel, insbesondere für Flugzeugsteuerungen Die Erfindung betrifft einen Steuerknüppel mit elektromagnetischer Abtastung, insbesondere für Flugzeugsteuerungen, der an einem Ende fest eingespannt ist und dessen elastische Durchbiegungen in zwei Koordinaten elektrisch abgetastet werden.Control sticks, especially for aircraft controls The invention relates to a joystick with electromagnetic scanning, in particular for Aircraft controls that are firmly clamped at one end and the elastic ones Deflections can be scanned electrically in two coordinates.

Durch die deutsche Auslegeschrift 1133 012 ist eine elektrische Zwangssteuerung eines beliebigen Teiles aus der Ferne mit Hilfe eines in mehreren Koordinaten bewegten handbetätigten Steuerknüppel bekannt, bei welcher der Steuerknüppel an einem Ende fest eingespannt ist und seine elastische Durchbiegung bei einem. Druck der Hand in zwei Koordinaten zur Erzeugung von Steuersignalen kapazitiv oder induktiv abgetastet wird. Eine solche Anordnung mit einem steifen Steuerknüppel, bei welchem man die Größe des erzeugten Steuersignals durch den Druck der Hand unmittelbar fühlen kann, hat mancherlei Vorteile. Jedoch erfordert die kapazitive oder induktive Abtastung einen relativ großen Aufwand. Um hinreichende Empfindlichkeit zu erhalten, muß eine hochfrequente Wechselspannung an kapazitive oder induktive Brückenschaltungen angelegt werden. Die Brückendiagonalspannungen werden über abgeschirmte Leitungen (wegen der Streuinduktion) auf aufeinander abgestimmte Gegentaktverstärker gegeben. Es müssen besondere Abgleichkondensatoren vorgesehen werden.The German Auslegeschrift 1133 012 is an electrical forced control of any part remotely with the help of a moving in several coordinates manually operated joystick known, in which the joystick at one end is firmly clamped and its elastic deflection at a. Pressure of the hand scanned capacitively or inductively in two coordinates to generate control signals will. Such an arrangement with a stiff joystick, in which the Can directly feel the magnitude of the control signal generated by the pressure of the hand, has many advantages. However, it requires capacitive or inductive sensing a relatively large effort. In order to obtain sufficient sensitivity, a high-frequency alternating voltage applied to capacitive or inductive bridge circuits will. The bridge diagonal voltages are generated via shielded cables (because of the leakage induction) given to matched push-pull amplifiers. It special balancing capacitors must be provided.

Der Erfindung liegt demgegenüber die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine einfache und robuste Vorrichtung zur Abtastung der Durchbiegung eines »steifen Steuerknüppels« zu schaffen.The invention is based on the object of a simple and robust device for sensing the deflection of a "stiff control stick" to accomplish.

Erfindungsgemäß wird das dadurch erreicht, daß bei Verwendung von Hallgeneratoren zur Abtastung der Steuerknüppel im Bereich seines eingespannten Endes von einer feststehenden Hülse aus ferromagnetischem Werkstoff umgeben und derart magnetisiert ist, daß ein magnetischer Kraftfluß in dem Knüppel in Längsrichtung desselben verläuft und der magnetische Kreis über am Umfang des Knüppels vorgesehene Polflächen, die der Innenwandung der Hülse gegenüberliegen, die Hülse und die Einspannung des Knüppels geschlossen ist, und daß die Hallgeneratoren im Luftspalt zwischen den Polflächen und der Innenwandung der Hülse einander gegenüberliegend und gegeneinandergeschaltet angeordnet sind.According to the invention this is achieved in that when using Hall generators for scanning the joystick in the area of its clamped End surrounded by a fixed sleeve made of ferromagnetic material and is magnetized such that a magnetic flux in the stick in the longitudinal direction the same runs and the magnetic circuit is provided on the circumference of the stick Pole faces that lie opposite the inner wall of the sleeve, the sleeve and the clamping of the stick is closed, and that the Hall generators in the air gap between the pole faces and the inner wall of the sleeve opposite one another and connected to one another are arranged.

Hallgeneratoren sind meist kleine Blättchen aus einem Halbleitermaterial. In einer ersten Richtung ist eine Spannung an diese Blättchen angelegt. Wenn nun das Blättchen von einem magnetischen Feld durchsetzt wird, dann entsteht auch eine Spannung (Hallspannung) senkrecht zu dieser ersten Richtung. Die Größe und Polarität der Hauspannung hängt von Richtung und Stärke des magnetischen Feldes ab.Hall generators are usually small leaves made of a semiconductor material. A voltage is applied to these leaflets in a first direction. If now If the leaflet is penetrated by a magnetic field, then one is created Voltage (Hall voltage) perpendicular to this first direction. The size and polarity the house voltage depends on the direction and strength of the magnetic field.

Der magnetische Fluß in dem Knüppel verzweigt sich und tritt an den Polflächen aus. Er durchsetzt radial die Luftspalte zwischen den Polflächen und der Innenwandung der Hülse, und der magnetische Kreis ist dann über die Hülse geschlossen. Wenn der Knüppel in seiner Mittellage steht, dann sind die Luftspalte alle gleich breit und der magnetische Kraftfluß verzweigt sich gleichmäßig auf alle vier Polflächen. Wenn aber der Knüppel, wenn auch nur geringfügig, aus dieser Mittellage herausgedrückt wird, dann ändert sich die Verteilung des Magnetflusses auf die verschiedenen Luftspalte. Der eine Luftspalt wird verkleinert und der gegenüberliegende wird vergrößert, wodurch sich der Magnetfluß nach der Seite des kleineren Luftspaltes hin verlagert. Durch diese Änderungen der Magnetflüsse werden aber auch die Hallspannungen in .den gegeneinandergeschalteten Hallgeneratoren verändert. Die eine wird vergrößert und die andere wird verkleinert, so daß sich ein Ausgangssignal ergibt, welches ein Maß für die elastische Durchbiegung des Knüppels liefert.The magnetic flux in the stick branches and enters the Pole faces off. It penetrates the air gap between the pole faces and radially the inner wall of the sleeve, and the magnetic circuit is then closed via the sleeve. When the stick is in its central position, the air gaps are all the same wide and the magnetic flux branches evenly on all four pole faces. But if the stick is pushed out of this central position, even if only slightly then the distribution of the magnetic flux to the various air gaps changes. One air gap is reduced and the opposite one is enlarged, whereby the magnetic flux shifts towards the side of the smaller air gap. By However, these changes in the magnetic flux also become the Hall voltages in the mutually connected Hall generators changed. One is enlarged and the other is reduced so that there is an output signal which is a measure of the elastic deflection of the stick supplies.

Die Verwendung von Hallgeneratoren hat den Vorteil, daß man einfach mit Gleich- oder Netzspannung arbeiten kann und nicht wie bei einer induktiven oder kapazitiven Abtastung einen Hochfrequenzoszillator benötigt. Auch können keine Fehler durch Streuinduktionen hervorgerufen werden. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der Verwendung von Hallgeneratoren gegenüber induktiver oder kapazitiver Abtastung ist auch der, daß sie rein ohmsche Widerstände darstellen und daher keine Phasenverschiebung verursachen können. Es ist daher einfach, die bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung erhaltenen Steuersignale mit anderen Signalen, etwa von einem Flugregler oder Rückführsignalen zu mischen, wie das bei einer Flugzeugsteuerung erforderlich ist.The use of Hall generators has the advantage of being easy to use can work with direct or mains voltage and not as with an inductive or capacitive sampling a high frequency oscillator needed. Even no errors can be caused by stray induction. An essential one Advantage of using Hall generators over inductive or capacitive ones Sampling is also that they represent purely ohmic resistances and therefore none Can cause phase shift. It is therefore easy to use in the case of the invention Arrangement received control signals with other signals, for example from a flight controller or to mix feedback signals, as required in an aircraft controller is.

Haugeneratoren sind an sich bekannt. Sie sind auch schon verwandt worden, um Bewegungen abzutasten. Bei einer bekannten Anordnung dieser Art, die in der deutschen Auslegeschrift 1063 691 beschrieben ist, handelt es sich um eine Vorrichtung. zum elektrischen Steuern von Maschinen entsprechend einem vorgegebenen Modell mittels eines Fühlers, z. B. für Kopierwerkzeugmaschinen. Es sind dort zwei U-förmige Permanentmagneten mit eng beieinanderliegenden Schenkeln derart mit ihren Polflächen einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet, daß der Nordpol des einen Magneten dem Südpol des anderen gegenüberliegt und umgekehrt. Oberhalb einer Mittelebene hat dann das Magnetfeld eine Richtung und unterhalb der Mittelebene die entgegengesetzte Richtung. Zwischen den einander gegenüberliegenden Polflächen der Permanentmagnete ist ein Haugenerator angeordnet, der mit einem Fühler verbunden und senkrecht zur Richtung der Feldlinien beweglich geführt ist. Wenn der Hallgenerator symmetrisch zu der besagten Mittelebene angeordnet ist, dann ist die resultierende Hauspannung Null. Wird er durch den Fühler aus dieser Mittellage herausbewegt, dann tritt eine Hallspannung auf.Haug generators are known per se. They are also already related have been used to sense movements. In a known arrangement of this type, the is described in the German Auslegeschrift 1063 691, it is a Contraption. for the electrical control of machines according to a predetermined Model by means of a probe, e.g. B. for copying machine tools. There are two there U-shaped permanent magnets with closely spaced legs in such a way with their Pole faces arranged opposite one another that the north pole of one magnet opposite the south pole of the other and vice versa. Above a median plane then the magnetic field has one direction and below the center plane the opposite direction Direction. Between the opposing pole faces of the permanent magnets a Haugenerator is arranged, which is connected to a sensor and perpendicular to the Direction of the field lines is movably guided. If the reverb generator is symmetrical is arranged to said center plane, then the resulting house stress Zero. If it is moved out of this central position by the feeler, then one occurs Hall voltage on.

Bei dieser bekannten Anordnung handelt es sich nicht nur um eine andere Anwendung (Kopierwerkzeugmaschinen) als bei der Erfindung. Auch die Wirkungsweise ist anders: Bei der bekannten Anordnung wird ein Hallgenerator quer zur Feldrichtung zweier entgegengesetzt gerichteter Magnetfelder bewegt und dadurch bei einer Auslenkung aus der Mittellage der Mittelwert des auf den Hallgenerator wirksamen magnetischen Feldes verändert und damit eine resultierende Hauspannung erzeugt. Demgegenüber erfolgt bei der Erfindung eine Verlagerung des Magnetflusses, wobei im Bereich der Haugeneratoren das abzutastende Glied, nämlich der Steuerknüppel, in Richtung der Feldlinien bewegt wird. Das wird durch die besondere Ausbildung des Steuerknüppels erreicht, wobei die Abtastung ohne weiteres in zwei Koordinaten erfolgen kann.This known arrangement is not just a different one Application (copy machine tools) than in the invention. Also the mode of action is different: In the known arrangement, a Hall generator is transverse to the field direction two oppositely directed magnetic fields moved and thereby with a deflection from the central position the mean value of the magnetic effective on the Hall generator Field changed and thus generated a resulting house voltage. In contrast takes place in the invention, a shift of the magnetic flux, in the area of Hauggenerators the member to be scanned, namely the joystick, in the direction of the Field lines is moved. This is due to the special design of the control stick achieved, the scanning can be done easily in two coordinates.

Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn die Hülse im Bereich der Polflächen im. wesentlichen quadratischen Innenquerschnitt besitzt und die Hallgeneratoren in der Mitte der Seiten des Quadrats angeordnet sind. Dann ist der Magnetfluß jeweils auf die Mitten der Quadratseiten konzentriert, wo die Hallgeneratoren angeordnet sind.It is useful if the sleeve in the area of the pole faces. essential has a square internal cross-section and the Hall generators in the middle of the Sides of the square are arranged. Then the magnetic flux is in each case on the middle the sides of the square where the Hall generators are located.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den Abbildungen dargestellt und im folgenden beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the figures and described below.

Ein Haugenerator 7 besteht aus einem dünnen Blättchen 10 aus Halbleiterwerkstoff, welches an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten Elektroden 11, 12 trägt. Über diese Elektroden wird ein Steuerstrom Js durch das Blättchen 10 hindurchgeschickt. Wenn das Blättchen 10 von einem Magnetfluß 2 wie dargestellt durchsetzt wird, dann entsteht senkrecht zur Richtung des Steuerstromes 1s eine Spannung UH (Hallspannung), die dem Strom f, und dem Magnetfluß 2 proportional ist.A Haugenerator 7 consists of a thin sheet 10 made of semiconductor material, which has electrodes 11, 12 on two opposite sides. A control current Js is sent through the leaf 10 via these electrodes. If the lamina 10 is penetrated by a magnetic flux 2 as shown, a voltage UH (Hall voltage) which is proportional to the current f and the magnetic flux 2 is generated perpendicular to the direction of the control current 1s.

Mit 1 ist eine fest angeordnete Hülse aus ferromagnetischem Werkstoff bezeichnet. In einem in der Hülse 1 sitzenden Block 2 ist ein Steuerknüppel 3 fest mit einem Ende eingespannt.. Das eingespannte Ende 4 ist etwas dünner, um eine gewisse elastische Durchbiegung zu ermöglichen. Es besteht aus magnetischem Material und ist so magnetisiert, daß ein magnetischer Kraftfluß in Längsrichtung des Knüppels entsteht. Oben weist es eine Verdickung 5 auf; die von einem Ring 13 umgeben ist. Die Umfangsfläche des Ringes 13 bildet mit der Innenwandung: der Hülse 1, die über den Block 2 den magnetischen Rückschluß darstellt, schmale Luftspalte 6. In den Luftspalten 6 sind vier Hallgeneratoren 7v; 7h, 71, 7r angeordnet, von denen jeweils zwei diametral einander gegenüberliegende gegeneinandergeschaltet sind. Der Innenquerschnitt der Hülse 1 ist im Bereich des Ringes 13 im wesentlichen quadratisch, und die Haugeneratoren sitzen in den Mitten der Seiten des Quadrates. Auf diese Weise wird der Magnetfluß besonders gut auf die Luftspalte 6 mit den Hallgeneratoren 7 konzentriert.1 with a fixed sleeve made of ferromagnetic material is referred to. In a block 2 seated in the sleeve 1, a control stick 3 is firmly clamped at one end. The clamped end 4 is somewhat thinner in order to allow a certain elastic deflection. It consists of magnetic material and is magnetized in such a way that a magnetic flux of force is created in the longitudinal direction of the stick. At the top it has a thickening 5; which is surrounded by a ring 13. The circumferential surface of the ring 13 forms with the inner wall: the sleeve 1, which represents the magnetic yoke via the block 2, narrow air gaps 6. In the air gaps 6 are four Hall generators 7v; 7h, 71, 7r, of which two diametrically opposite one another are connected to one another. The inner cross-section of the sleeve 1 is essentially square in the area of the ring 13, and the Haugeneratoren sit in the middle of the sides of the square. In this way, the magnetic flux is concentrated particularly well on the air gaps 6 with the Hall generators 7.

Jeweils zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegende Hallgeneratoren werden gegeneinandergeschaltet. Die Schaltung ist sehr einfach und dem Fachmann geläufig.Two diametrically opposed Hall generators each are switched against each other. The circuit is very simple and the skilled person common.

Die beschriebene Anordnung gestattet es, mit einem Steuerglied zwei Koordinaten vollkommen unabhängig voneinander zu steuern. Es kann sich dabei um die Steuerung von Nick- und Rollbewegungen eines Flugzeuges handeln, um Fernsteuerungen, oder beispielsweise die Steuerung. von Kränen.The arrangement described allows two with one control member Controlling coordinates completely independently of each other. It can be about the control of pitch and roll movements of an aircraft act as remote controls, or, for example, the controller. of cranes.
