Description

MECANISME DE COMMANDE PAR CABLE CABLE CONTROL MECHANISM
L'invention est du domaine des dispositifs de commande d'un organe distant. Elle a pour objet un mécanisme de commande par câble d'un organe distant à manœuvrer, notamment applicable aux engins du génie civil ou analogues. On connaît des mécanismes de commande à distance utilisant un câble, ou analogue tel qu'une tringle, pour transmettre une commande depuis une manette vers un organe distant principal à manoeuvrer. Ces mécanismes sont notamment appliqués aux engins du génie civil, forestiers, agricoles ou analogues. De manière connue, de tels mécanismes sont aussi agencés pour actionner électromagnétiquement un interrupteur en relation avec la manœuvre du câble. Cet interrupteur permet de commander la mise en œuvre d'un organe distant secondaire, organe hydraulique notamment, en correspondance avec la manœuvre de l'organe distant principal.The invention is in the field of devices for controlling a remote member. It relates to a cable control mechanism of a remote member to be operated, in particular applicable to civil engineering vehicles or the like. Remote control mechanisms are known using a cable, or the like such as a rod, to transmit a command from a joystick to a main remote member to be operated. These mechanisms are notably applied to civil engineering, forestry, agricultural or similar machines. In known manner, such mechanisms are also arranged for electromagnetically actuating a switch in relation to the operation of the cable. This switch makes it possible to control the implementation of a secondary remote member, in particular hydraulic member, in correspondence with the operation of the main remote member.
Un problème à résoudre pour de tels mécanismes de commande réside dans un compromis à trouver entre la simplicité de leur structure et leur capacité fonctionnelle, notamment au regard du nombre de commandes qu'ils sont susceptibles de piloter.A problem to be solved for such control mechanisms lies in a compromise to be found between the simplicity of their structure and their functional capacity, in particular with regard to the number of controls that they are capable of controlling.
Il a par exemple été proposé par EP0458313 (MEFFLEX TELECONTROL Gmbh & Co), d'articuler la manette en pivotement autour d'un axe qui la supporte sur un boîtier. Le mouvement de pivot de la manette est transmis à un organe de manœuvre du câble, qui est monté coaxialement tournant avec l'axe de pivot de la manette. Ces dispositions sont telles que les différentes positions du câble sont rendues dépendantes de celles correspondantes de la manette. Cette dernière est immobilisable sur le boîtier en au moins une position de commande, au moyen d'un dispositif de crantage. Celui- ci comprend un organe de positionnement de la manette, solidaire de celle-ci, qui est pourvu d'un organe d'emboîtement coopérant avec un organe complémentaire équipant le boîtier. La manœuvre du dispositif de crantage est effectuée par basculement élastique de la manette suivant l'extension de son axe de pivot. Un organe de commutation électromagnétique est rendu dépendant du mouvement de pivotement de la manette, par l'intermédiaire de l'axe de pivot de cette dernière à l'instar de l'organe de manœuvre du câble. Un interrupteur est placé au voisinage du trajet en pivotement de l'organe de commutation, pour la commande de la mise en œuvre de l'organe distant secondaire.It has for example been proposed by EP0458313 (MEFFLEX TELECONTROL Gmbh & Co), to articulate the lever in pivoting around an axis which supports it on a housing. The pivot movement of the joystick is transmitted to a cable operating member, which is mounted coaxially rotating with the pivot axis of the joystick. These provisions are such that the different positions of the cable are made dependent on those corresponding to the joystick. The latter can be immobilized on the housing in at least one control position, by means of a notching device. The latter comprises a member for positioning the lever, integral with the latter, which is provided with a nesting member cooperating with a complementary member fitted to the housing. The operation of the notching device is carried out by elastic tilting of the lever following the extension of its pivot axis. An electromagnetic switching member is made dependent on the pivoting movement of the lever, by means of the pivot axis of the latter, like the cable operating member. A switch is placed in the vicinity of the pivoting path of the switching member, for controlling the implementation of the secondary remote member.
Il apparaît cependant que les solutions proposées par un tel mécanisme de commande sont insatisfaisantes. En effet, ce mécanisme de commande demeure d'une structure complexe pour un nombre restreint de possibilités offertes de commande d'organes distants secondaires.However, it appears that the solutions proposed by such a control mechanism are unsatisfactory. In fact, this control mechanism remains of a complex structure for a limited number of possibilities for controlling secondary remote organs.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un mécanisme du genre susvisé pour la manœuvre par câble d'un organe distant principal, dont le nombre offert de commandes électromagnétiques d'organes distants secondaires soit optimisé, sans pour autant porter atteinte à la simplicité de sa structure.The aim of the present invention is to propose a mechanism of the aforementioned type for the cable maneuver of a main remote member, the number of which offered for electromagnetic commands of secondary remote members being optimized, without however affecting the simplicity of its structure.
La démarche inventive de la présente invention a consisté dans sa globalité à agencer de manière solidaire dans le prolongement les uns des autres la manette, l'organe de positionnement de la manette et l'organe de commutation. Ces dispositions sont telles que l'assujettissement des mouvements, tant de l'organe de commutation que de l'organe de manœuvre du câble, est rigoureusement dépendant du pivotement de la manette. On relèvera que ces dispositions visent à éviter la présence d'un jeu radial inopportun susceptible de porter atteinte à la fiabilité et à la précision des mouvements transmis par la manette à l'organe de manœuvre du câble et à l'organe de commutation.The inventive step of the present invention consisted in its entirety in integrally arranging in a continuation of each other the lever, the positioning member of the lever and the switching member. These provisions are such that the subjection of the movements, both of the switching member and of the cable operating member, is strictly dependent on the pivoting of the lever. It will be noted that these provisions aim to avoid the presence of an inopportune radial clearance liable to affect the reliability and the precision of the movements transmitted by the lever to the cable operating member and to the switching member.
Grâce à la précision obtenue susvisée, l'organe de commutation peut être avantageusement exploité pour accroître le nombre de position d'actionnement d'un interrupteur et/ou le nombre d'interrupteurs à actionner qui lui sont affectés. En outre, l'organe de manœuvre du câble est avantageusement susceptible d'être lui aussi utilisé pour actionner au moins un interrupteur qui lui est affecté, à l'instar de l'organe de commutation, pour actionner électromagnétiquement cet interrupteur en vue de la mise en oeuvre d'au moins un organe distant secondaire supplémentaire. Il en résulte finalement qu'à partir d'une structure simple du mécanisme, les potentialités de commande électromagnétique sont accrues par rapport aux mécanismes similaires de l'art antérieur.Thanks to the above-mentioned precision obtained, the switching member can be advantageously used to increase the number of actuation positions of a switch and / or the number of switches to actuate which are assigned to it. In addition, the cable operating member is also advantageously capable of being used to actuate at least one switch which is assigned to it, like the switching member, to electromagnetically actuate this switch for the purpose of implementation of at least one additional secondary remote member. Finally, it follows that from a simple structure of the mechanism, the electromagnetic control potentials are increased compared to similar mechanisms of the prior art.
On relèvera plus précisément concernant la liaison solidaire en pivotement de l'organe de manœuvre du câble avec la manette, que la mise en prolongement solidaire de la manette, de l'organe de positionnement de cette dernière et de l'organe de commutation, autorise un montage solidaire de l'organe de manœuvre du câble directement sur l'axe de pivot de la manette. Ces dispositions permettent d'éviter la présence d'un jeu radial susceptible d'affecter, voire d'interdire, une exploitation de l'organe de manœuvre du câble pour le pilotage d'au moins un interrupteur.It will be noted more precisely concerning the integral pivoting connection of the cable operating member with the lever, that the integral extension of the lever, the positioning member of the latter and the switching member, authorizes an integral mounting of the cable operating member directly on the pivot axis of the lever. These provisions make it possible to avoid the presence of a radial clearance capable of affecting, or even prohibiting, operation of the cable operating member for controlling at least one switch.
L'organe de positionnement de la manette et l'organe de commutation sont notamment disposés respectivement de part et d'autre de l'axe de pivot de la manette. Plus précisément, il est avantageusement proposé d'interposer l'organe de positionnement de la manette entre cette dernière et l'organe de commutation, pour notamment ne pas encombrer l'environnement proche de ce dernier par le dispositif de crantage, de préférence placé au plus proche de la manette. Ces dispositions, prises indépendamment ou en combinaison, visent à dégager l'espace environnant l'organe de commutation, pour autoriser la présence avantageuse d'une pluralité d'interrupteurs placés au voisinage de son trajet et faciliter, tant leur mise en place à l'intérieur du mécanisme que leur accès pour le réglage des plages de leur actionnement par l'organe de commutation.The lever positioning member and the switching member are notably arranged respectively on either side of the pivot axis of the lever. More specifically, it is advantageously proposed to interpose the positioning member of the lever between the latter and the switching member, in particular so as not to clutter the environment close to the latter by the notching device, preferably placed at closer to the controller. These provisions, taken independently or in combination, aim to free the space surrounding the switching member, to allow the advantageous presence of a plurality of switches placed in the vicinity of its path and to facilitate both their installation in the 'inside the mechanism as their access for the adjustment of the ranges of their actuation by the switching member.
L'organe de commutation est notamment conformé en plaque. Selon une première variante, cette plaque présente un profil régulier effilé vers son extrémité distale, pour un actionnement en tout ou rien d'au moins un interrupteur. Selon une autre variante, la plaque présente un profil irrégulier, obtenu en ménageant au moins un dégagement sur son pourtour de manière à définir plusieurs plages successives d'actionnement d'au moins un interrupteur, en relation avec le trajet parcouru par l'organe de commutation et les positions relatives entre le dégagement et le, ou les, interrupteurs affectés à l'organe de commutation. Les moyens élastiques pour le basculement de la manette sont plus particulièrement constitués par des organes élastiques, tels que jeu de rondelles en assiette, d'appui latéral de la plaque de commutation contre des butées axiales de l'axe de pivot. La présente invention sera mieux comprise et des détails en relevant apparaîtront, à la description qui va en être faite en relation avec les figures de la planche annexée, dans lesquelles :The switching member is notably shaped as a plate. According to a first variant, this plate has a regular profile tapered towards its distal end, for all or nothing actuation of at least one switch. According to another variant, the plate has an irregular profile, obtained by providing at least one clearance on its periphery so as to define several successive ranges of actuation of at least one switch, in relation to the path traveled by the member of switching and the relative positions between the release and the switch or switches assigned to the switching member. The elastic means for tilting the lever are more particularly constituted by elastic members, such as a set of plate washers, lateral support of the switching plate against axial stops of the pivot axis. The present invention will be better understood and details will be apparent from the description which will be given in connection with the figures of the appended plate, in which:
La fig.1 est une illustration en perspective éclatée d'un mécanisme selon une forme préférée de réalisation de l'invention. La fig.2 est une illustration en perspective d'un ensemble monobloc composé d'un organe de positionnement de la manette et d'un organe de communation, participant d'un dispositif du genre de celui illustré sur la fig.1.Fig.1 is an exploded perspective illustration of a mechanism according to a preferred embodiment of the invention. Fig.2 is a perspective illustration of a one-piece assembly composed of a lever positioning member and a communication member, participating in a device of the kind illustrated in fig.1.
Sur la fig.1 , un mécanisme est destiné à manœuvrer un organe distant principal par l'intermédiaire d'un câble. Ce câble, non représenté sur la figure, est fixé à une extrémité d'un organe de manœuvre 1 conformé en plaque, qui est manœuvrable en pivotement par l'utilisateur au moyen d'une manette 2. Cette manette 2 est montée pivotante (flèche 20) sur un boîtier (non représenté sur la figure) par l'intermédiaire d'un axe de pivot 3 auquel elle est liée en pivotement. On comprendra que l'organe de manœuvre 1 est lui aussi lié en pivotement (flèche 21) coaxialement avec l'axe de pivot 3, par l'intermédiaire d'un jeu de billes telles que 4,4' par exemple. Grâce à l'assujettissement rigoureux en pivotement de l'organe de manœuvre 1 sur l'axe de pivot 3 de la manette 2, celui-ci peut être exploité pour actionner électromagnétiquement au moins un interrupteur tel que 5.In fig.1, a mechanism is intended to operate a main remote member via a cable. This cable, not shown in the figure, is fixed to one end of an operating member 1 shaped as a plate, which can be pivoted by the user by means of a lever 2. This lever 2 is pivotally mounted (arrow 20) on a housing (not shown in the figure) by means of a pivot axis 3 to which it is pivotally connected. It will be understood that the operating member 1 is also pivotally linked (arrow 21) coaxially with the pivot axis 3, by means of a set of balls such as 4.4 ′ for example. By virtue of the rigorous subjecting in pivoting of the operating member 1 on the pivot axis 3 of the lever 2, the latter can be used to electromagnetically actuate at least one switch such as 5.
La manette 2 est immobilisable en pivotement en au moins une position de commande, par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif de crantage. Ce dernier comprend notamment un organe d'emboîtement 6 ménagé sur un organe de positionnement 7 de la manette 2, qui coopère avec un organe complémentaire (non représenté sur la figure) équipant le boîtier, à la manière habituelle dans le domaine. La manœuvre du dispositif de crantage 6,7 est effectuée par basculement élastique (flèche 22) de la manette 2 suivant l'extension de l'axe de pivot 3. Par ailleurs, le mécanisme comprend un organe 8 de commutation électromagnétique d'une pluralité d'interrupteurs, tels que 9,9', de commande d'organes distants secondaires. Cet organe de commutation 8 est solidaire de l'ensemble formé par la manette 2 et l'organe de positionnement 7, pour son entraînement rigoureux en pivotement (flèche 23) concomitamment au pivotement de la manette 2.The handle 2 can be pivotally immobilized in at least one control position, by means of a notching device. The latter comprises in particular a fitting member 6 formed on a positioning member 7 of the lever 2, which cooperates with a complementary member (not shown in the figure) fitted to the housing, in the usual manner in the field. The locking device 6,7 is operated by elastic tilting (arrow 22) of the lever 2 along the extension of the pivot axis 3. Furthermore, the mechanism comprises a member 8 for electromagnetic switching of a plurality of switches, such as 9.9 ′, for controlling secondary remote members. This switching member 8 is integral with the assembly formed by the lever 2 and the positioning member 7, for its rigorous pivoting drive (arrow 23) concomitantly with the pivoting of the lever 2.
Sur la variante de réalisation de cet organe de commutation 8 illustrée sur la fig.1, celui-ci présente un profil régulier effilé vers son extrémité distale, pour un actionnement en tout ou rien des interrupteurs 9 et 9'. Sur la variante de réalisation de cet organe de commutation 8 illustré sur la fig.2, celui-ci présente un profil irrégulier, comportant un dégagement 10 à son extrémité distale pour accroître les possibilités de commande électromagnétique offertes par le mécanisme, lors de son passage devant les interrupteurs 9,9' au cours de son pivotement. On remarquera que l'organe de positionnement 7 de la manette 2 et l'organe de commutation 8 constituent avantageusement un ensemble monobloc conformé en plaque. Une zone proximale de cette plaque forme l'organe de positionnement 7 de la manette 2 à laquelle elle est solidarisée, tandis qu'une zone distale, opposée à la précédente, forme l'organe de commutation 8. La zone médiane de jonction entre ces zones proximale 7 et distale 8 comporte une ouverture 11 pour le passage de l'axe de pivot 3 de la manette 2. Cette ouverture 11 est avantageusement de conformation polygonale, pour la liaison en pivotement entre l'axe de pivot 3 et l'ensemble monobloc 7,8 composant l'organe de positionnement 7 de la manette 2 et l'organe de commutation 8.On the alternative embodiment of this switching member 8 illustrated in fig.1, it has a regular profile tapered towards its distal end, for all or nothing actuation of the switches 9 and 9 '. On the alternative embodiment of this switching member 8 illustrated in FIG. 2, it has an irregular profile, having a clearance 10 at its distal end to increase the possibilities of electromagnetic control offered by the mechanism, during its passage in front of the switches 9.9 'during its pivoting. It will be noted that the positioning member 7 of the lever 2 and the switching member 8 advantageously constitute a one-piece assembly shaped as a plate. A proximal area of this plate forms the positioning member 7 of the handle 2 to which it is secured, while a distal area, opposite to the previous one, forms the switching member 8. The middle junction area between these proximal 7 and distal 8 zones has an opening 11 for the passage of the pivot axis 3 of the lever 2. This opening 11 is advantageously of polygonal conformation, for the pivoting connection between the pivot axis 3 and the assembly monobloc 7,8 constituting the positioning member 7 of the lever 2 and the switching member 8.
Les moyens élastiques pour le basculement de la manette 2 sont constitués par des organes élastiques, tels que des rondelles 12 conformées en assiette, qui sont axialement juxtaposées à la manière habituelle dans le domaine. On remarquera cependant que l'élasticité du basculement de la manette 2 est notamment obtenue par un appui latéral de la plaque de commutation 8 contre des butées axiales telles que 13 et 14 de l'axe de pivot 3, par l'intermédiaire des organes élastiques. The elastic means for tilting the lever 2 are constituted by elastic members, such as washers 12 shaped as a plate, which are axially juxtaposed in the usual manner in the field. It will be noted however that the elasticity of the tilting of the lever 2 is notably obtained by a lateral support of the switching plate 8 against axial stops such as 13 and 14 of the pivot axis 3, by means of the elastic members .
