Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Steuervorrichtung für die Umsetzung von mechanischen Bewegungen und/oder Kräften in elektrische Signale gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a control device for converting mechanical movements and / or forces into electrical signals according to the preamble of claim 1.
Bei einer bekannten Steuervorrichtung dieser Art (DE-A-20 30 048) werden die Ausgangssignale der kraft- bzw. bewegungsempfindlichen Sensoren zur Steuerung von Elektromotoren herangezogen, die wiederum mit Richtmitteln für Zielverfolgungsinstrumente zusammenwirken. Es können somit bei der bekannten Steuervorrichtung Handbewegungen einer steuernden Person in entsprechende mechanische Bewegungen eines Objekts umgewandelt werden.In a known control device of this type (DE-A-20 30 048), the output signals of the force- or motion-sensitive sensors are used to control electric motors, which in turn interact with aiming devices for tracking instruments. In the known control device, hand movements of a controlling person can thus be converted into corresponding mechanical movements of an object.
Es ist weiterhin bereits bekannt, von Hand bedienbare Steuerstäbe (sogenannte Joysticks) so aufzubauen, daß an einem beweglich gehaltenen Ende beispielsweise Potentiometer, Drehwinkelgeber oder Schalter angebracht werden, deren Widerstandswerte oder Schaltzustände bei einer Betätigung des Steuerstabs verändert werden können. Die Bewegung kann hier auch in mehreren Freiheitsgraden erfolgen, wobei für jede Bewegungsrichtung beispielsweise ein Potentiometer angebracht ist. Steuerstäbe mit einem solchen Aufbau werden z. B. bei Funkfernsteuerungen für Modellflugzeuge verwendet. Die Nachteile dieser Steuerstäbe sind insbesondere die Verwendung von beweglichen Teilen - z. B. die Schleifer der Potentiometer -, die störanfällig sind, und der eingeschränkte Bewegungsspielraum, der durch die Konstruktion des Steuerstabes mit den mechanisch gekoppelten Potentiometern oder Schaltern vorgegeben ist.It is also already known to set up manually operated control rods (so-called joysticks) in such a way that, for example, potentiometers, angle encoders or switches are attached to a movably held end, the resistance values or switching states of which can be changed when the control rod is actuated. The movement can also take place here in several degrees of freedom, a potentiometer, for example, being attached for each direction of movement. Control rods with such a structure are, for. B. used in radio remote controls for model aircraft. The disadvantages of these control rods are in particular the use of moving parts - e.g. B. the grinder of the potentiometer - which are prone to failure, and the limited range of motion that is predetermined by the design of the control rod with the mechanically coupled potentiometers or switches.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Steuervorrichtung für die Umsetzung von mechanischen Bewegungen und/oder Kräften in elektrische Signale zu schaffen, bei der eine störsichere Übertragung von mechanischen Betätigungen des Steuerstabes in elektrische Signale und eine optimale Ausnutzung aller Bewegungsmöglichkeiten des Steuerstabes durch Auswertung der Signale in elektronischen Darstellungsmitteln möglich sind.The invention has for its object to provide a control device for converting mechanical movements and / or forces into electrical signals, in which an interference-free transmission of mechanical actuations of the control rod in electrical signals and optimal use of all movement possibilities of the control rod by evaluating the signals are possible in electronic means of representation.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe weist eine Steuervorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art die Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 auf.To achieve this object, a control device of the type mentioned at the outset has the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
Besonders bei der Steuerung einer Bilddarstellung auf Sichtgeräten ist es wünschenswert, eine Vielzahl von Steuerungsparametern ausnutzen zu können. Beispielsweise bei der Steuerung eines Cursors auf dem Bildschirm eines Sichtgerätes ist es vorteilhaft, nicht nur die Bewegungsrichtung, sondern auch die Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit des Cursors über die Sensoren zu beeinflussen. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung kann dies leicht durch Erfassung des Ausmaßes der Beeinflussung der Sensoren erreicht werden. Auch eine Veränderung der Bilddarstellung an sich, z. B. hinsichtlich der Lage oder des Maßstabs der Darstellung, ist hier durch die Vielzahl der Bewegungskomponenten des Steuerstabes möglich, so daß durch eine Betätigung des freien Endes des Steuerstabes mit einer Hand alle diese Steuerfunktionen ausgeführt werden können. Es ist auch denkbar, mit der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung in einer Bewegungsrichtung ein Verschlußsignal (Lock) für eine Fixierung der Bilddarstellung zu detektieren, wodurch entweder die Stellung des Cursors oder sonstige Eigenschaften der Darstellung festgehalten werden können.Particularly when controlling an image display on viewing devices, it is desirable to be able to use a large number of control parameters. For example, when controlling a cursor on the screen of a display device, it is advantageous not only to influence the direction of movement, but also the speed of movement of the cursor via the sensors. In the arrangement according to the invention, this can easily be achieved by detecting the extent to which the sensors are influenced. Also a change in the image representation itself, e.g. B. with regard to the location or the scale of the representation, is possible here by the large number of movement components of the control rod, so that all of these control functions can be carried out by actuating the free end of the control rod with one hand. It is also possible to detect with the inventive arrangement in a moving direction of a V erschlußsignal (Lock) for fixing the image representation, whereby either the position of the cursor or other properties can be kept of illustration.
In vorteilhafter Weise sind die genannten Sensoren sogenannte Mehrkomponenten-Kraftsensoren, nämlich Dehnungsmeßstreifen, wahlweise Halbleiter- oder konventionelle Metall-Dehnungsmeßstreifen, die bei Dehnung eine Änderung ihrer elektrischen Werte erfahren.The sensors mentioned are advantageously so-called multi-component force sensors, namely strain gauges, either semiconductor or conventional metal Strain gauges that change their electrical values when stretched.
Um eine komfortable Bildschirmsteuerung zu erreichen, weist die erfindungsgemäße Steuervorrichtung in vorteilhafter Weise die Merkmale nach einem der Unteransprüche 2 bis 4 oder einer Kombination dieser Ansprüche auf.In order to achieve comfortable screen control, the control device according to the invention advantageously has the features according to one of

Bei dem in der Figur 1 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eines Steuerstabes 1 ist ein flexibles Teilstück 2 an einer Halterung 3 fest montiert; das andere Ende des Teilstücks 2 trägt einen Griff 4, mit dem der Steuerstab 1 von Hand betätigbar ist. Das flexible Teilstück.2 trägt die Dehnungsmeßstreifen aus Halbleitermaterial als kraft- bzw. bewegungsempfindliche Sensoren. Dehnungsmeßstreifen 5 und 6 (Dehnungsmeßstreifen 6 hier nicht sichtbar, da er auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Teilstücks 2 liegt) liegen hier im oberen Teil quer zur Längsachse 7 des Steuerstabs 1. Parallel zum Verlauf der Längsachse 7 sind Dehnungsmeßstreifen 8, 9, 10 und 11 angebracht (Dehnungsmeßstreifen 11 hier nicht sichtbar, da er dem Dehnungsmeß- streifen 9 auf der anderen Seite des Teilstücks 2 gegenüberliegt). Weiterhin befinden sich zusätzliche Dehnungsmeßstreifen 12 und 13 auf dem Teilstück 2, die jeweils in 45° zur Längsachse 7 gekreuzt übereinander angeordnet sind. In der Figur sind ferner Schnittebenen A-A', B-B' und C-CI angegeben, wobei diese Schnittdarstellungen in der Figur 2 gesondert gezeichnet sind.In the exemplary embodiment of a control rod 1 shown in FIG. 1, a
Im Teil a) der Figur 2 ist der Schnitt A-A' sichtbar, wodurch die Lage der beiden Dehnungsmeßstreifen 5 und 6 am Teilstück 2 erkennbar ist. Im Teil b) ist der Schnitt B-B' mit den Dehnungsmeßstreifen 8, 9, 10 und 11 dargestellt, und im Teil c) ist der Schnitt C-C1 gezeichnet, wobei die beiden Dehnungsmeßstreifen 12 und 13 übereinanderliegend angegeben sind. Im Teil d) der Figur 2 sind die Kräfte eingezeichnet, die auf den Steuerstab 1 und somit auf das flexible Teilstück 2 aufbringbar sind. Die Kraft Kl ist in Richtung der Längsachse 7 wirksam, wobei sie in der hier angegebenen Darstellung in die Zeichenebene hineinwirkt, sie kann jedoch auch in entgegengesetzter Richtung wirksam sein. Die Kräfte K2 und K3 wirken jeweils quer zur Längsachse 7 und befinden sich in einem Winkel von 90° zueinander. Außerdem kann noch ein Drehmoment Ml aufgebracht werden, mit dem eine Torsionsbewegung des flexiblen Teilstücks 2 und somit des Steuerstabs in der hier dargestellten Richtung, aber auch in der entgegengesetzten Richtung durchgeführt werden kann. Alle diese Betätigungskräfte können in ihrem Ausmaß an die menschliche Hand angepaßt werden, mit der die Bedienung des Steuerstabs vorgenommen wird.In section a) of FIG. 2, section AA 'is visible, as a result of which the position of the two strain gauges 5 and 6 on
Aus den Darstellungen nach der Figur 2 ist entnehmbar, daß beispielsweise bei einer durch eine entsprechende Bewegung des Steuerstabs verursachten Kraft Kl die Dehnungsmeßstreifen 12 und 13 auf Dehnung beansprucht werden und somit eine Veränderung ihrer elektrischen Eigenschaften und die Erzeu- gung eines entsprechenden elektrischen Signals bewirkt werden kann. Bei Einwirkung einer Kraft K2 durch eine entsprechende Bewegung des Steuerstabs 1 wird insbesondere der Dehnungsmeßstreifen 9 (vergleiche Teil b) der Figur 2) auf Dehnung beansprucht und der Dehnungsmeßstreifen 11 gestaucht, wodurch auch mit diesen Dehnungsmeßstreifen entsprechende elektrische Signale erzeugt werden können. Bei Einwirkung einer Kraft K3 wird insbesondere der Dehnungsmeßstreifen 8 auf Dehnung und der Dehnungsmeßstreifen 10 auf Stauchung beansprucht, wodurch auch diese Bewegung des Steuerstabs 1 detektiert und in ein elektrisches Signal umgesetzt werden kann. Eine Torsionsbewegung aufgrund des Drehmomentes M1 führt zu einer Dehnung bzw. Stauchung der beiden Dehnungsmeßstreifen 12 bzw. 13 und somit zu einem entsprechenden drehmomentabhängigen, elektrischen Signal.It can be seen from the representations according to FIG. 2 that, for example, when a force K 1 is caused by a corresponding movement of the control rod, the strain gauges 12 and 13 are subjected to strain and thus a change in their electrical properties and the generation of a corresponding electrical signal are effected can. When a force K2 acts through a corresponding movement of the control rod 1, the Strain gauges 9 (see part b) of FIG. 2) are subjected to stretching and the
In der Figur 3 ist ein Anwendungsfall des erfindungsgemäßen Steuerstabs 1 dargestellt, wobei auf einem Bildschirm 15 eines Sichtgeräts 16 ein Cursor genannter Markierungspunkt 17 in seiner Lage auf dem Bildschirm verschoben werden soll. Die hierfür erforderlichen Kräfte am Steuerstab 1 sind in der Figur 4 dargestellt, wobei bei der in der Figur 3 angedeuteten Bewegung von links unten nach rechts oben die von den Dehnungsmeßstreifen 8 ... 11 detektierten Teilkräfte K2 und K3 zu einer Gesamtkraft K führen, die durch die Größe der Teilkräfte K2 und K3 in ihrer Richtung und in ihrem Betrag festgelegt ist. Die Steuerung des Cursors 17 kann in einfacher Weise derart vorgenommen werden, daß aus der Vektorrichtung der Gesamtkraft K die Cursorbewegungsrichtung und aus der Vektorlänge der Gesamtkraft K die Cursorbewegungsgeschwindigkeit erfaßt werden kann. In der Figur 4 sind außerdem noch die Kräfte Kl und Ml dargestellt, mit denen beispielsweise eine Verschiebung oder eine Drehung der gesamten Darstellung auf dem Bildschirm 15 durch das Drehmoment Ml oder eine Veränderung des Maßstabs der Darstellung auf dem Bildschirm 15 mit der Kraft Kl erreicht werden kann.FIG. 3 shows an application of the control rod 1 according to the invention, in which a marker point 17 called a cursor is to be moved on a
Bei dem in der Figur 5 dargestellten elektrischen Blockschaltbild sind die einzelnen Sensoren bzw. Dehnungsmeßstreifen 5 ... 13 (vergleiche Figur 1) schematisch in einem Baustein 20 dargestellt. Die Dehnungsmeßstreifen werden von einem Speisegerät 21 mit einer Spannung versorgt und können beispielsweise innerhalb des Bausteins 20 in einer Brückenschaltung so zusammengeschaltet werden, daß sie bei einer Krafteinwirkung auf die Sensoren bzw. Dehnungsmeßstreifen ein entsprechendes elektrisches Signal am Ausgang 22 erzeugen. In einem Meßverstärker 23, der auch eine integrierende Wirkung aufweisen kann, werden diese Signale verstärkt und in einem A/D-Wandler 24 in eine entsprechende binäre Information umgewandelt. Der daran angeschlossene Mikroprozessor 25 formt die Signale in entsprechende Informationen für die hier geforderte zeilenmäßige Bilddarstellung um und ermittelt beispielsweise die aus der Vektorrrichtung bzw. der Vektorlänge der Gesamtkraft K zu berechnenden Bewegungsrichtungs- und Geschwindigkeitsgrößen. Die Ausgangssignale des Mikroprozessors 25 werden über eine Sichtgerätesteuerung 26 den Signalverarbeitungsteilen des Sichtgeräts 16 zugeführt, so daß auf dem Bildschirm 15 die anhand der Figuren 2 bis 4 dargelegten Auswirkungen auf den beweglichen Cursor 17 bzw. auf die Veränderung der Bilddarstellung im Sichtgerät 16 durchgeführt werden können.In the electrical block diagram shown in FIG. 5, the individual sensors or strain gauges 5... 13 (see FIG. 1) are shown schematically in a
