Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for operating a
- Vehicle which is designed in particular in the form of an agricultural or industrial commercial vehicle.
- a joystick is used to control an agricultural utility vehicle, with which either a transmission function of the vehicle in connection with an engine speed or an implement adapted to the vehicle, e.g. a front loader that can be controlled.
- a joystick usually comprises at least one control element, which is designed, for example, in the form of a push-button switch with which an additional function of either the vehicle or the implement which can be adapted to the vehicle can be controlled.
- Modern agricultural commercial vehicles now also include display units, which are designed, for example, in the form of LCD displays (liquid crystal devices). These display units, for example, display information about the operating state of the vehicle, for example its speed, the current engine speed and the gearshift state of the transmission. Information regarding the operating status and the utilization of a PTO of the vehicle are shown. Operating elements are often arranged directly on the display units, so that this provides a spatial and functional relationship between the operating elements shown on the display unit and the operating elements.
- LCD displays liquid crystal devices
- the optimal distance for gripping or operating an operating element is different than the optimal distance of the display unit from the eyes of the operator. In this respect, this fact represents an ergonomic problem. If the spatial position of the display unit can be changed, the position of the operating elements also changes, so that the ergonomic problem cannot be solved simply by changing the arrangement of the display unit.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of specifying and developing a device of the type mentioned at the outset by which the aforementioned problems are overcome.
- the display unit should have an optimal one.
- Eye relief and on the other hand the controls have an optimal operating distance for an operator.
- a device of the type mentioned at the beginning comprises a grip part which can be rigidly attached to a console of the vehicle.
- the handle part is designed such that it can be at least partially gripped by one hand of an operator or that it is at least partially suitable for the intervention of one hand of an operator.
- the handle part has control elements with which at least one function of the vehicle and / or a function of an implement that may be adaptable to the vehicle can be controlled.
- a display unit assigned to the handle part is provided, which can be arranged adjustable relative to the handle part.
- a design of the handle part that can be at least partially gripped and / or engaged by an operator's hand is advantageous, since this gives a defined distance between the operator and the handle part when the hand of the operator grips the handle part , This distance can be selected, for example by adjusting the operator's sitting position, in such a way that it is optimal in ergonomic terms.
- the display unit is assigned to be adjustable relative to the handle part.
- an operation of the operating elements of the handle part can directly or indirectly cause a change in what is shown on the display unit, that is to say for example by means of an electronic coupling.
- it can be a spatial and / or a functional assignment of the handle part to the display unit.
- a rigid attachment of the handle part is particularly advantageous in agricultural or industrial commercial vehicles, since such vehicles are often driven in terrain with sometimes considerable bumps in the ground and a vehicle operator is exposed to corresponding movements.
- the operator can grip and / or reach into the grip part with his hand, which not only provides a hand rest in the conventional sense, but also fixes the operator's hand to the grip part even during operation, although the operator may move relative to the grip part can, for example, due to a spring-loaded seat relative to the vehicle cabin. Since the handle part according to the present invention can be rigidly attached to the console and since the handle part has no joystick functionality, this also does not cause incorrect operation of the vehicle.
- the display unit has a monitor.
- This monitor could, for example, be designed as an LCD monitor or as a TFT monitor (thin film transistor) and provide single or multi-color display.
- the monitor is preferably used to display information about the operating state of the vehicle or of an implement which is adapted to the vehicle.
- the monitor could also represent an image sequence which is recorded with a camera. Such a solution is conceivable, for example, if a camera is arranged at the rear of a vehicle or a tractor and records a coupling process between the tractor and a working device. Here, the sequence of images could only be displayed in a monitor section.
- the monitor could have touch input capabilities, such as the one below is known, for example, from so-called touch screens.
- An antireflective coating of the monitor could be provided, which at least largely prevents the reflection of sunlight and thus a glare to the operator.
- At least for functions that are not frequently required it can be expedient to provide at least one further control element on the display unit.
- This could be, for example, control elements with which the brightness and / or the contrast of the display unit can be set.
- Such controls could be arranged on the side of the frame of the display unit or on the back.
- the display unit is adjusted relative to the handle part by pivoting and / or rotating the display unit relative to the handle part. Accordingly, the display unit can be rotated and / or pivoted accordingly.
- the display unit is preferably adjusted manually relative to the handle part and is carried out by the operator.
- the display unit could now be pivotable and / or rotatable in such a way that a display surface of the display unit used by the operator for the display - for example the LCD monitor - always essentially faces the operator. It can be assumed here that the operator does not change his seat position in the vehicle seat significantly. However, it can also happen that the operator performs certain tasks, for example for coupling an implement to an agricultural vehicle or to a tractor the rear cabin window looks and, if necessary, rotates the vehicle seat relative to the vehicle cabin or to the vehicle frame.
- the display unit could also be arranged such that it can be pivoted and / or rotated in such a way that it can always be viewed directly by the operator, for example from a position in the front and on the side of the vehicle cabin to a position in the rear and on the side of the vehicle cabin.
- the display unit can be locked in a position which can be predetermined by the operator.
- this could be achieved in that the adjustment properties of the display unit are stiff enough that even strong movements of the vehicle are not sufficient to adjust the display unit due to inertial forces.
- locking levers could also be provided, which lock the display unit in a position selected by an operator, for example by a force-locking jamming of correspondingly provided joints.
- the display unit can be connected to the handle part or to the console of the vehicle via a movement arm.
- the movement arm could have an elongated shape.
- the movement arm is very particularly preferably articulated on the one hand on the handle part and on the other hand on the display unit.
- the movement arm could also be articulated on the console of the vehicle and on the other hand on the display unit.
- the provision of the movement arm primarily has the effect that the display unit can be pivoted relative to the handle part or to the console of the vehicle.
- the motion could 'be formed arm telescopic.
- a connection with a swivel characteristic is preferably provided between the movement arm and the handle part or the console, so that the movement arm can be rotated about an axis of rotation.
- a connection with a ball joint characteristic can be provided.
- a pivot joint between the movement arm and the handle part or the console makes it possible to pivot the display unit arranged on the movement arm relative to the handle part or the console.
- connecting lines for connecting or for the electrical supply of the display unit to the handle part or to vehicle electronics are provided, which are arranged in the movement arm.
- the connecting lines are preferably designed in the form of flexible cables or in the form of a flexible cable harness, which through any joints provided between the display unit, movement arm, handle part or console are guided.
- sliding contacts could also be used in the case of joints that may be provided.
- the grip part has an essentially cylindrical region which can be at least partially gripped by an operator's hand.
- the control elements are preferably arranged on the cylindrical region in such a way that they can be actuated with the thumb of one hand of the operator. This allows ergonomic operation or actuation of the operating elements arranged on the handle part if the operator's hand at least partially encompasses the cylindrical region.
- the grip part could have a recess or a frame into which an operator's hand can at least partially engage.
- the frame preferably comprises an essentially cylindrical region which can be at least partially gripped by the hand of the operator.
- control elements can be used as control elements of the handle part.
- Operating elements are preferably used for the handle part, which are designed in the form of a rotary knob, a changeover switch and / or a pushbutton switch.
- the rotary knob is particularly intended to To actuate the incremental encoder accordingly, which thereby generates an electrical signal that is dependent on the rotation of the rotary knob.
- the operating elements of the handle part are very particularly preferably used to control a menu which is displayed on the display unit. Accordingly, the control elements of the handle part have a function comparable to a computer mouse or a keyboard, for example scrolling - ie scrolling up or down - an image section or selecting a menu item.
- the operating elements could also be designed to be programmable, ie the operator can put individual functions for controlling an implement on an operating element in a corresponding programming mode (short-cut function).
- the handle part is designed in such a way that a part thereof is designed to be removable.
- the removable part has at least one control element.
- the handle part is made at least in two parts and all operating elements could be arranged on the removable part.
- the fact that the removable part is removed from the handle part means that the device according to the invention can also be operated without any problems if, for example, the operator in the vehicle cabin is in a sitting position in which the one-piece handle part cannot be operated easily or only in an uncomfortable manner.
- the removable part could be connectable to the device according to the invention via a cable connection or via a radio connection, in particular in a removed state.
- a Electrical connection between the control elements and the device according to the invention are made by electrical contact connections, which are provided on the one hand on the handle part and on the other hand on the removable part.
- the removable part could be locked on the handle part by means of a snap, snap or clamp connection.
- the console on which the handle part is rigidly attached, could be fixed in place relative to a vehicle frame, for example on a spar of a vehicle cabin.
- the console could be arranged in a fixed position relative to an operator seat of the vehicle, for example on an armrest of the operator seat.
- the grip part with the seat likewise executes a relative movement to a vehicle frame, in particular when the seat is arranged in a resilient manner and the vehicle is moving on uneven terrain. Even when the seat is turned, the handle part also rotates with this arrangement.
