Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating device for driving a device, in particular for driving a vehicle.
  • the choice of the arrangement of a joystick is usually influenced by ergonomic considerations regarding a seated operator. Accordingly, placing a joystick to minimize accidental actuation during boarding and / or boarding out of the vehicle would adversely affect the ergonomics of the joystick with respect to a seated operator.
  • EP 0 701 917 A1 discloses a deadman device, in particular for pedestrian-controlled and / or hand-held motor-driven processing machines, which has at least one handle for guiding and / or holding the machine, a safety circuit and evaluation electronics with associated circuitry.
  • the object underlying the invention is seen to provide an operating device of the type mentioned, by which the aforementioned problems are overcome.
  • an operating device should be specified and further developed, which is only activated when the operator grips the operating device in the context of a proper use, with an unintended operation while largely maintaining the positive ergonomic properties to be prevented.
  • the actuator is operatively connected to the actuating lever.
  • the operating lever has a hand portion.
  • the sensor is disposed on the hand portion to operatively connect the actuator when the hand portion of the operating lever is manually gripped in the intended manner.
  • an operating device significantly reduces the risk of unintentional operation of the operating device or of the joystick and the associated safety risks, wherein the positive ergonomic properties of the joystick can be maintained in a particularly advantageous manner.
  • the operating device or the joystick comprises at least one sensor, which comprises a discrete or a separate sensor zone, which is arranged in the hand portion of the operating device.
  • the sensor or the sensor zones are operable such that the presence of a person or an object in the vicinity of the operating device is passively detectable.
  • the arrangement of the sensor zones in areas of the operating device or of the hand section in which the thumb and a finger of an operator's hand are located during normal operation enables the sensor to detect that the operator manually activates the operating device or the joystick for proper operation has seized.
  • the sensor is in communication with the device via a logic circuit Actuator circuit, so that the actuator part of the operating device is only activated when the presence of an object is detected in the discrete sensor zones. In the same way, the part of the operating device which concerns the actuator is activated only when no presence of an object is detected.
  • a sensor has at least one sensor zone, which could be arranged in the hand section or in the vicinity thereof.
  • the sensor could now be operable so that the presence of an object on the hand portion is passively detectable.
  • the senor could be operatively connected to the actuator such that an activation of the actuator can be effected when the sensor detects the presence of an object.
  • a deactivation of the actuator could be effected if the sensor does not detect an object.
  • the senor could have at least one capacitive sensor or be designed in the form of a capacitive sensor.
  • the senor is installed in the hand portion of the operating lever.
  • the actuator is activated only when the presence of an object in at least two sensor zones is detected. This sets at least two arranged on the operating device sensor zones ahead.
  • At least one time delay device could be provided, which, as a function of a detection of the presence of an object, activates the actuating device only when a presettable period of time has elapsed.
  • At least one time delay device could be provided, which deactivates the actuating device only after a presettable period of time has elapsed, depending on a detection of an absence of an object.
  • the hand portion could have a thumb area and a finger area. At least one sensor zone could be located near the thumb area and at least one sensor zone could be located near the finger area.
  • a capacitive sensor could comprise at least one field defining a sensor zone, the field being directed outward with respect to the hand portion.
  • the field defining a sensor zone could be directed outwardly in a direction which is directed substantially diametrically opposite to the direction of the field defined by the other sensor zone.
  • the field defined by one sensor zone is preferably not associated with the field defined by another sensor zone.
  • the actuator could remain activated after activation as long as the presence of an object is continuously detected by at least one sensor.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a control lever, which can be actuated by a plurality of axes, for controlling a vehicle, which is designated by the reference numeral 10 and is referred to below as a joystick.
  • the joystick 10 comprises a substantially cylindrically shaped shaft region 12 extending over a large area of the joystick 10 and an ergonomically shaped hand section 14.
  • the shaft region 12 is usually in the operating position in FIG Substantially vertically disposed when mounted in a vehicle, and is operatively connected to an actuator 16.
  • the hand portion 14 includes a hand rest 18, a primary thumb portion 20 and a secondary thumb portion 22.
  • the hand rest 18 is a flared, curved platform that substantially defines the top of the joystick 10.
  • the primary thumb area 20 is characterized by a thumb switch 24.
  • thumb switch 24 is not an essential element of the present invention, it is shown in FIG. 1 to show the ergonomic characteristics of a corresponding joystick according to the present invention.
  • the thumb switch 24, as well as additional switches, not shown in Figure 1, could be used to activate functions dictated by a specific application in which the joystick is used.
  • the secondary thumb area 22 is bounded by a nose 26, which extends substantially perpendicular to the hand rest 18 in a region which is disposed immediately above the thumb switch 24.
  • An operating device corresponding to the joystick 10 could be disposed on a vehicle console near an armrest to allow the operator of the vehicle to rest his arm on the armrest while operating the joystick 10.
  • the operator could operate the joystick 10 to place his open palm on the hand rest with the thumb on the side of the nose 26 modified on the hand rest 18, thereby operating the thumb switch 24 in the more primary thumb region 20.
  • the joystick 10 can be operated with only slight hand movements, with the hand rest 18 and the nose 26 is exerted light pressure.
  • the joystick 10 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is designed for a right-handed operator.
  • An exemplary embodiment of a left-handed operator joystick 10 would substantially correspond to the mirror image of the joystick 10 shown in FIGS. The following description applies to both embodiments, that is, a joystick 10 for left-hand or right-hand operation.
  • passive means are provided with which the joystick 10 can only be activated or activated for operation when the operator manually grips the joystick 10 in a manner intended.
  • the provision of such means prevents inadvertent actuation of the joystick 10.
  • a first sensor zone 28 is disposed in the hand portion 14 in an area adjacent the primary and secondary thumb areas 20, 22.
  • the first sensor zone 28 is arranged such that the region in which it is arranged corresponds to the first thumb joint when the joystick 10 is manually grasped as intended.
  • a second sensor zone 30 is arranged on the hand rest 18 in a region which is arranged adjacent to the nose 26.
  • the second sensor zone 30 corresponds to a position on the joystick 10, on which the joints of the index finger and the middle finger are arranged in a proper operation of the joystick 10.
  • the sensor zones 28 and 30 are each in the form of proximity sensors, which are installed below the surface of the joystick 10.
  • the proximity sensors could include capacitive sensors which are derived from the Are known in the art and which are used in many applications in which to detect the presence of a person or an object.
  • capacitive sensors usually have a plurality of conductive elements, which are arranged between non-conductive layers. When voltage is applied to the sensors, they create an electric field that extends outward from the sensor. Depending on the characteristics of such sensors and the voltage applied to the conductive elements, the electric field may extend from zero to a few meters.
  • the sensor zones 28, 30 could be formed by two separate capacitive sensors or by a single capacitive sensor, the latter having two separate, non-contiguous electric fields.
  • a manual intervention of the joystick 10 can be passive be detected without providing an active, mechanical or electromechanical switch. Furthermore, in providing separate sensor zones and capacitive sensors with small electric fields, detection of pronounced presence can be limited in a relatively small area corresponding to the sensor zones 28 and 30.
  • the first sensor zone 28 would detect the presence of the thumb of a user when the joystick 10 is manually grasped for normal operation.
  • the second sensor zone 30 would detect the presence of the forefinger and the middle finger of an operator when the joystick 10 is intentionally grasped for manual operation.
  • the capacitive sensors are arranged in first and second sensor zones 28 and 30 and connected via a logic to the actuator circuit to activate or deactivate the actuator 16 depending on certain predeterminable conditions.
  • the actuator 16 will only be activated if at the same time a presence in both, that is, the first and the second sensor zone 28, 30, is detected.
  • This ANDing in logic will wake up the actuator circuitry to allow operation of the joystick 10 as intended.
  • the logic is brought into a condition requiring a continuous signal indicative of a presence in either a sensor zone 28 or both sensor zones 28, 30 to keep the joystick 10 in the operating state , This AND / OR condition in the logic allows the operator to provide greater flexibility in the manipulation of the joystick 10.
  • a time delay circuit could be provided in the joystick logic to activate and / or deactivate the joystick 10 for a predeterminable time, the predeterminable time depending on the application for which the joystick 10 is being used.
  • the provision of a time delay in the activation of the joystick 10 could further reduce the possibility of unintentional actuation.
  • the provision of a time delay for deactivating the joystick 10 could result in a simplification of the operation for an operator of the joystick 10 should it be necessary for the operator to release the joystick 10 for a brief moment.
  • the logic for activating and deactivating the actuator 16 in response to a detected presence or detected absence and a delay circuit can be achieved in many ways known in the art, which will not be discussed further.
  • the arrangement of the sensor zones 28 and 30 make it highly unlikely that inadvertent contact with the Joystick 10 is present, which leads to the activation of the actuator 16 for operation.
  • the sensor zones 28, 30 are preferably arranged to minimize the risk that a single inadvertent contact could simultaneously cover both sensor zones. In a characteristic embodiment, this is achieved by arranging the first and second sensor zones 28 and 30 such that the fields generated by the capacitive sensors are not coherent and extend in substantially diametrically opposite directions. By doing so, the joystick 10 is unlikely to be activated by bumping, kicking, brushing, or other unintentional contact.
  • the subject of the present invention represents a substantial improvement over known devices due to the fact that the use of sensors which do not require a single operator action to activate the joystick 10 does not go beyond what is otherwise required would be to provide the operating functions of the joystick 10.
  • the operator activates the joystick 10 for operation, and by simply releasing the joystick 10, the operator transfers the joystick 10 to a deactivated state, which is advantageously secured from inadvertent actuation.
  • the choice of the spatial arrangement of the joystick 10 can be made dependent on where the joystick 10 is best placed ergonomically, and not where it is most insensitive would be to arrange with respect to an unintentional operation.
  • the ergonomic features are further enhanced because the capacitive sensors do not require physical contact to detect presence, allowing the operator to operate the joystick 10 with a very light touch while still activating the entire functionality of the joystick 10. Since the capacitive detection characteristics of the joystick require a secure presence, it is also sufficient to activate the joystick 10 with a gloved hand, although dirt or moisture may be present on the glove.
  • the explanation of the present invention has been made as to a characteristic embodiment of a joystick 10.
  • other joystick configurations could be provided which have different ergonomic properties.
  • a different ergonomic placement of the hand on an alternative joystick configuration might require a different arrangement of the sensor zones.
  • other types of touch and / or proximity sensors could be used. Accordingly, it is in the present invention primarily to specify and develop an operating device having activation sensors that activate the operating device only when the operator manually grasps the operating device in the intended manner during normal operation.
  • the subject matter of the present invention should not be limited to a specific shape or dimension of the operating device.
