Abstract

The joystick provides input to an electronic control unit to operate all the functions of a car. Steering is controlled by moving the stick left or right. Acceleration and braking are controlled by moving the stick backwards and forwards. Gear change, clutch, horn and headlights are operated by push buttons. Windscreen wiper and indicators are operated by switches. A digital display indicates the currently selected gear. The joystick itself is sized to fit the human hand, and the control unit is housed in watertight plastic and rubber.

Description

Arbeitsweise: Wie ein herkömmliches Lenkrad, aber gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß auch die Funktion der Accelleration (Beschleunigung) der Bremsen, Kupplung und Gangschaltung mit dieser Bedienungseinheit ausgelöst werden. Der Steuerknüppel ist gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß er der Impulsgeber einer elektronischen Steuereinheit ist.How it works: Like a conventional steering wheel, but marked in that the function of acceleration (acceleration) of the brakes, clutch and gear shift can be triggered with this control unit. The joystick is characterized in that it is the The pulse generator of an electronic control unit is.

Besonderheit: Das neuartige an dieser Bedienungseinheit ist gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß ein Steuerknüppel für alle Steuerfunktionen von Motor, Schaltgetriebe und Lenkung gebraucht wird. Dieser Knüppel kann nach allen Richtungen bewegt werden und löst dementsprechend die jeweiligen Funktionen aus. Er übernimmt die Funktionen: Accelleration (Gas), Verzögerung (Bremsen), Kuppeln, Gangschaltung und Lenkung.Special feature: The new feature on this control unit is marked in that a joystick for everyone Control functions of engine, manual transmission and steering is needed. This stick can go in all directions be moved and accordingly solves the respective Functions. It performs the functions: Accelleration (gas), deceleration (braking), clutching, Gear shift and steering.

Aufbau: Die Weitergabe der elektronischen Steuerimpulse ist gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß sie mit Kabeln an die zuständige Stelle geleitet werden. Dort werden sie mit Hilfe von hydraulischen Einheiten in Bewegung umgesetzt. Die Funktionen im Einzelnen:Structure: The transmission of the electronic control impulses is characterized in that they are supplied with cables to the responsible Body. There they are with Hydraulic units put into motion. The functions in detail:

Steuerung li/re: Analog zur jeweils betätigten Knüppelbewegung
Accelleration (Gas): Bewegung nach hinten auf die Person zu
Verzögerung (Bremse): Bewegung nach vorn von der Person weg
Gangschaltung: Betätigung eines Druckknopfes links
Ganganzeige: Digitales Display im Drehzahlmesser
Kupplung: Betätigung eines Druckknopfes vorneControl left / right: Analogous to the actuated stick movement
Accelleration (gas): Movement backwards towards the person
Deceleration (brake): Movement forward away from the person
Gear shift: actuation of a push button on the left
Gear display: digital display in the rev counter
Coupling: actuation of a push button at the front

Material: Das Gehäuse ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß es wasserdicht zu halten ist (aus Kunststoff und Gummi). Dadurch ist jederezeit einwandfreie Funktion gewährleistet, und es wird das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit in das Innere der elektronischen Schalter verhindert.Material: The case is characterized by being waterproof is to be held (made of plastic and rubber). Thereby perfect function is guaranteed at all times, and it becomes the penetration of moisture inside the electronic switch prevents.

Abmessungen: Der Steuerknüppel ist in einer Größe von 9 Zentimetern (Handwurzelbreite) sinnvoll und funktionsfähig. Diese Größe empfiehlt sich wegen der natürlichen Breite der menschlichen Hand im Bereich der Grifffläche. Die Steuereinheit selbst, d. h. die elektronischen Schalter, nehmen den Rauminhalt von max. 10 cm³ ein.Dimensions: The control stick is in a size of 9 centimeters (Wrist width) useful and functional. These Size is recommended because of the natural width of the human hand in the grip area. The control unit itself, d. H. the electronic switches the volume of max. 10 cm³.
