Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an analog manipulator for generating electrical control signals in response to various orientations given in space to an operating member of this manipulator, such as a lever, which will hereinafter be referred to as “operating lever ".
  • Such manipulators are often used for the remote electrical control of the movements of a mobile, such as the hook of a lifting machine, especially an overhead crane, in four main orthogonal directions two by two.
  • DE-U-73 40 888 thus discloses a manipulator comprising a guide member in which is formed a cross-shaped opening with four orthogonal branches two by two, which is crossed by the operating lever. In this way, this lever can only be oriented in the four directions determined by the branches of the cross. This solution is suitable when the movement of the mobile controlled by the manipulator should only take place in orthogonal directions.
  • the FR - A - 2 359 305 provides an analog manipulator allowing omnidirectional movement of the operating lever, without favoring any direction.
  • the frequency of movements of the lever in two orthogonal directions is preponderant, but it is necessary from time to time to provide an orientation of the lever in intermediate directions in order to obtain for example an oblique movement of the mobile controlled by the manipulator.
  • a manipulator in which the resistant force developed against at least one preferred orientation of the lever is much lower than that developed against other possible inclinations of this lever.
  • This reaction anisotropy perceived by the operator's hand informs the latter about the directions ordered, the directions of the operating lever in the main rectangular planes being easier to communicate to him than all the other directions.
  • EP-A-43 809 thus discloses, in accordance with the preamble of claim 1, a manipulator delivering signals characteristic of the orientation in space of an operating lever which can be moved apart by transverse thrust of a reference position called neutral, and resiliently returned to this neutral position, this manipulator comprising a housing, on which is articulated said lever which controls the position of at least one movable member associated with at least one sensor for delivering an electrical signal function of the position of the lever, means opposing the angular displacement of the operating lever an elastic reaction differentiated according to the orientation of the lever relative to its neutral position, these means comprising active surfaces movable relative to each other and maintained elastically in mutual support, one of which is angularly linked to the orientation of the lever and the other is angularly fixed, at least one of these bearing surfaces having corrugations in a crown whose amplitude is a function of the orientations provided for the lever and corresponding to the orientations of this lever for which a differentiated elastic reaction is provided.
  • This known embodiment has the disadvantage of having a large radial size and despite this lever can only have a limited angular movement in each of its possible orientations. Indeed, the angularly fixed active surface, which extends around the other active surface when the lever is at rest, necessarily has a radial dimension sufficient for the angularly mobile active surface, which moves radially when the inclination is tilted lever, is still in contact with it, even when the lever is tilted to the maximum.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an anisotropic manipulator allowing for a small footprint a large angular movement of the lever.
  • this manipulator is characterized in that the surface angularly linked to the orientation of the lever is an annular surface surrounding the axis of the lever, and in that the angularly fixed surface is carried by a movable pusher coaxially with the neutral position of the lever against a return spring.
  • the annular surface surrounding the axis of the lever is carried by a ball joint linked to the lever and by which the lever is articulated to the housing.
  • the manipulator essentially comprises a housing 101 on which is articulated an operating lever 102 which can be moved apart by transverse thrust F (Figure 2) of a reference position xx '( Figure 1), called neutral, corresponding to the axis of the housing 101, the lever 102 being resiliently biased towards this neutral position.
  • the lever 102 controls the position of at least one movable influence member 103 which is associated with at least one sensor 104 fixed to the housing 101 to deliver an electrical signal depending on the position of the lever 102.
  • the operating lever 102 is articulated on the housing 101 by means of a complex articulation 51 comprising a ball joint 50 having a hemispherical head 61 which cooperates with a spherical bearing surface 64 of a cap 59 of a barrel 134, open to his part upper for the passage of the lever 102.
  • the latter is angularly integral with the ball joint 50 whose axial extension forms a cavity 62 in which is engaged the spherical head 63 of an auxiliary shaft 52 housed in the housing 101 and which is itself even mounted on a ball joint 105 which carries the movable member (s) of influence 103.
  • the ball joint 105 is elastically urged towards an annular bearing surface 106 of the housing 101 and its outer spherical surface bears on the spherical cavity of this bearing, the contact being concentric with center O ( Figure 3).
  • this type of manipulator can be advantageously used in applications where it is desired that the amplitude of the signals delivered is the image of the displacements of greater amplitude of the lever.
  • the ball 105 carries (FIG. 8), on the side opposite the fixed bearing 106, a ring 122 coaxial with the shaft 52 from which a number of radial ribs 123 emerge.
  • the ring 122 and the ribs 123 are engaged respectively in a central circular opening 124 (FIG. 9) and in radial slots 125 formed in an elastic membrane 126 on which the ball 105 is supported.
  • This membrane 126 forms tongues 127 which are selectively engaged by the base of the ball 105 according to the orientation of the lever 102. In the neutral position of the latter, each sector 128 of the base of the ball 105 between two ribs 123 consecutive is pressed equally against a corresponding tongue 127 of the membrane 126.
  • the periphery of the membrane 126 which has (see FIG. 9) centering notches 129 engaged in lugs 131 of the housing 101, is clamped between an annular shoulder of the housing 101 and the base of the annular surface 106. The fixing of the assembly is ensured by screws 33 engaged in tapped recesses of the pins 131 of the housing 101.
  • the threaded lower end 2b of the shaft 52 which passes through an opening 5a of the ball joint 105, opens beyond the ring 122 and receives a nut 140 which secures and centers the influence members 103 by tightening those -this against the ring 122 of the ball joint 105.
  • the ring 122 has two pins 22a, 22b ( Figure 8) for fixing the orientation of the members 103 by entering a centering hole 30 ( Figure 3) thereof.
  • the electronic circuits to which the position sensors 104 influenced by the movable members 103 belong are disposed in a chamber 144 of the housing 101 closed by a bottom 145 and separated from the ball joint 105 by a partition 46 made of electrically insulating material.
  • the end part of the barrel 134 which surmounts the housing 101 is threaded and receives a clamping ring 135 which contributes to the fixing of the manipulator on a plate A (FIG. 3), in opposition to setting screws 137 carried by a flange 38, it - even supported on the shoulder of the housing 101.
  • the upper end of the barrel 134 is closed by a flexible cylindrical bellows 139 for sealing, clamped at its base by the threaded ring 135 and at its top by the button 143 screwed onto the threaded end 110 of the lever 102.
  • Means are provided opposing the angular displacements of the lever 102 for an elastic reaction differentiated according to the orientation which is given to it. imposed in relation to its neutral position.
  • These means include two associated cams 107 and 108 whose active surfaces 109 and 111 have profiles arranged to provide a significant variation in the force required to move the lever 102 from its neutral position according to the orientation that the operator wants to give it. . Details of the profiles of these cams will be provided below with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • the angularly fixed cam 107 is coaxial with the neutral position XX ′ and the other 108, angularly orientable as a function of the position of the lever 102, is coaxial with the latter.
  • the angularly fixed cam 107 (FIG. 3) is carried by a sliding plunger 53 surrounding the auxiliary shaft 52 and movable coaxially in the neutral position X-X 'of the lever 102.
  • the pusher 53 is hollow and has a cylindrical skirt 55 which slides inside the chamber 134b of the barrel 134, the rotation of the pusher 53 around the axis XX 'being prevented by a longitudinal rib 71 of the skirt 55 in engagement with a groove 72 in the chamber 134b (see Figures 3 and 5).
  • the skirt 55 which surrounds the auxiliary shaft 52 and the return spring 112 has at its upper part a crown 56 whose wall 109 opposite the ball 105 constitutes the active surface of the cam 107.
  • the periphery of the ball joint 50 is wavy and constitutes the active surface 111 of the cam 108.
  • the active surfaces 109, 111 of the cams 107, 108 are resiliently biased towards one another by the helical spring 112 which is supported between a shoulder 65 of the annular surface 106 and the crown 56 of the pusher 53.
  • the thrust of the spring 112 also ensures the support of the hemispherical head 61 against the surface 64.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 and respectively 6 and 7 illustrate two alternative embodiments of the pusher 53 carrying the cam 107 and of the ball joint 50 carrying the cam 108 integral in rotation with the operating lever 102.
  • the cams 107, 108 of the variant of FIGS. 6 and 7 have a continuous wavy contour having a succession of inflection points, while those of FIGS. 4 and 5 have a discontinuous wavy contour respectively forming a succession of edges 82 and of hollow 83 (see Figure 5) or curved parts 74 (see Figure 4).
