Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for converting mechanical movements into electrical signals, which serve for process control, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the magnetically conductive sheet terminates in the region of the respective Hall sensor, so that the movements of the pole pieces, so the changes in the magnetic field upon actuation of the joystick, can be determined by this.
  • the thus evaluated magnetic signals are then converted into electrical signals, for example by a microprocessor, and passed on to an electrical unit for their litigation.
  • the movements of the joystick can first in changes of a magnetic field and then in electrical signal be converted to litigation. Accordingly, by such a joystick device, control signals can be transmitted to a screen or the like.
  • the construction cost should be low and the function of the device should be reliably and permanently guaranteed.
  • the position of each signal generator is precisely defined in the housing and is subject to any changes during a longer period of operation by force or other shocks. Furthermore, the assignment of the signal generator in the region of the mounted on a printed circuit board receiving sensors is exactly vorappelbar, so that the setting of the field changes or the sensor signal is not subject to unwanted fluctuations even with a longer operating time. Namely, since the distance between the signal transmitters, which are fixedly supported on the drivers and the mounted on the circuit board receiving sensors is maintained constant, the distance between these components remains unchanged after assembly, so that by the one-time adjustment and calibration of the device reliable and accurate operation is possible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a device 1 for converting mechanical movements of a control stick 3 which is tiltably and rotatably mounted in a housing 2.
  • electrical signals are to be generated, which serve for a process control, for example on a computer screen, and which are modeled on the visible movement of an arrow or the like.
  • a ball 7 is integrally formed on the control stick 3 in the lower region arranged in the housing, which ball acts as a bearing for the control stick 3 in the housing 2.
  • the ball 7 of the joystick 3 is thereby encompassed by two guide plates 5 and 6 and held in these rotatable and tiltable.
  • the guide plates 5 and 6 are supported on the housing 2 via screws 19 and nuts 21.
  • the guide plates 5 and 6 are closed to the outside by a cover 4 and a closure housing 24.
  • a bellows not shown, can be pushed onto the closure housing 24.
  • the joystick 3 passes through the cover 4 and the end housing 24, so that it is manually accessible from the outside.
  • the end housing 24 exerts a restoring force on the control stick 3, by which this is transferred to the starting position.
  • a plate 15 is fixedly attached to the ends ending in the housing 2 lower portion of the joystick 3, projecting from the four pins 16.
  • the housing 2 has four round recesses 10, in each of which a driver 11 is inserted.
  • the carriers 11 are designed to be open in the direction of a printed circuit board 17 accommodated in the housing 2, and in each case a permanent magnet 8 or 9 is inserted in such a way that two adjacent permanent magnets 8 or 9 are poled differently, so that they produce a magnetic field of a different design.
  • circuit board 17 On the circuit board 17 are four magnetic sensors, which are constructed as so-called Hall sensors 18, mounted. The position of the respective Hall sensors 18 is associated with the respective permanent magnet 8 or 9, so that the permanent magnets 8 or 9 extend directly above and in alignment with the Hall sensors 18.
  • the magnetic signals of the Hall sensors 18 can be converted into electrical signals in such a way that a movement of an arrow on a screen can be recognized by means of them, or that specific input commands are transmitted and forwarded by the control stick 3.
  • a partition plate 34 is inserted, by which the drivers 11 are supported in the housing 2.
  • the width of the guide grooves 33 corresponds to the diameter of the ball heads 32 inserted therein.
  • the drivers 11 are now replaced by rotary potentiometer 37.
  • rotary potentiometer 37 By the rotation of the rotary potentiometer 37, a resistance field of different thickness is generated.
  • a plurality of electrical lines 36 are provided in the interior of the joystick 3, which are connected to a mounted on the free outwardly projecting end of the joystick control knob 3 or button.
  • the electrical signals generated by the rotation of the knob or by the operation of the button are transmitted to the circuit board 17 through the lines 36 and utilized by a mounted on the circuit board 17 electrical processing unit and converted into electrical signals.
  • the exit of the electrical lines 36 from the joystick 3 takes place directly in the interior of the housing 2 and at a small distance to the tilting plane 35 of the joystick 3, so that the electrical lines 36 are advantageously exposed to no large deflecting movements and therefore little mechanical load.
  • light-emitting diodes located in the control stick 3 can be actuated via the lines 36.
  • the provision of the joystick 3 in a starting position is effected by a patch on the end housing 24 spring 22, which is inserted between the end housing 24 and attached to the control stick 3 stop 23.
  • a force which acts on the spring 22 and which is compressed by this arises a force which acts on the spring 22 and which is compressed by this.
  • the spring 22 snaps back into its original position and aligns the joystick 3 perpendicular to the housing 2. This corresponds to the starting position of the joystick 3 with respect to the housing 2.
  • a plurality of control sticks 3 may be provided in the housing 2, a plurality of control sticks 3 may be provided.
  • the Hall sensors 18 or receiving sensors are then arranged on the one circuit board 17, so that such a configuration requires less space and is easy to manufacture.
  • intermediate links (12) can cooperate in such a way that an over or under reduction of the movement of the joystick takes place.
