Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rotary control device, intended in particular to be fixed on a handle of a remote mobile machine, in particular machinery, agricultural machinery or handling.
  • a mobile device remote control comprises, in known manner, a handle movable in at least one degree of freedom with respect to a support, the movement of this handle allowing an operator to control at least one receiving member outside the remote control.
  • a first type of device comprises two members, movable in rotation relative to each other about an axis, formed by a body intended to be fixed on a handle of the remote control on the one hand, and a part of on the other hand, the device also comprising elastic return means for returning the actuating portion in the vicinity of an equilibrium position relative to the body from which a user can drive the actuating part in two opposite directions with respect to the equilibrium position.
  • the two driving abutments and the two locking abutments form two pairs of abutments belonging to the two members movable in rotation with respect to one another, the two movable arms being in position equilibrium, in contact with two stops of a first of the two pairs, the elastic means being immobilized relative to a first member.
  • This type of device makes it possible to provide a simple system for returning to the equilibrium position.
  • This residual clearance can be decreased by appropriate sizing of the gap between the stops of the second member.
  • the precise dimensioning of this gap increases the price of the parts used.
  • a single winding does not make it possible to obtain a simultaneous reliable contact of the elastic means with the four stops of the two pairs of stops respectively belonging to the two members.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically illustrate the relative positioning, in equilibrium position, of the body C with two locking abutments B1 and B2, the actuating part A with two driving abutments B3 and B4, and elastic means E having a single winding and two movable branches.
  • a residual clearance J1 or J2 respectively appears, according to the configurations, between the actuating part and the elastic means, or between the body and the elastic means.
  • the present invention relates to a device of the first type described above, comprising first elastic means corresponding to the elastic means of a device of this first type, and characterized in that the device also comprises second resilient means taking support, in equilibrium position, on the one hand on a movable branch of the first elastic means, and on the other hand against a bearing portion of the second member.
  • the movable branches of the first elastic means are both in contact against the two stops of a first member, and thus immobilized.
  • the second elastic means which are supported on the first elastic means, allow, in equilibrium position, to exert an elastic force on the second member, exerted between a stop of this second member, and a bearing portion of this second organ.
  • the first member and the first elastic means are thus immobilized relative to each other, the second member is immobilized by the second elastic means, bearing on the first elastic means.
  • the device uses elastic means with a simple winding as in the first type of spring described, to maintain a simple spring structure.
  • the second elastic means have a stiffness lower than the stiffness of the first elastic means.
  • the difference in stiffness between the first and the second elastic means makes it possible to prevent the stresses exerted by the second elastic means from disturbing the holding in position of the first elastic means by the two stops of the first member.
  • the second elastic means comprise an elastic tab connected to a movable branch of the first elastic means.
  • the elastic tab is connected by a bend to the end of a movable branch of the first elastic means.
  • the bearing portion is constituted by an additional stop located on the second member.
  • the bearing portion is constituted by a drive or locking stop, the second elastic means extending obliquely with respect to a plane containing the axis of rotation.
  • the device comprises an axial abutment limiting the translational movement of the winding in the direction of the axis of rotation.
  • the second elastic means are fixed on the second member.
  • the second elastic means comprises an elastomer element.
  • a rotary control device for a remote control of mobile machine comprises, in known manner, a body 2 intended to be fixed on a handle of the remote control, not shown, the body 2 comprising a first part or base 3 intended to be fixed on the handle by its base, which comprises fastening means 4, in particular slots allowing the passage of fixing screws, and a second part or cover 5, intended to be fixed integrally on the base 3.
  • Detection means constituted by a Hall effect sensor 10, are fixed on the base 4, and detect the movement of the magnet 9 facing each other, in order to generate an electrical control signal derived from the movement of the actuating part 6.
  • the device comprises a spring 12 which comprises first elastic return means 13 making it possible to return the actuating portion 6 to an equilibrium position E from which a user can drive the actuating part in two opposite directions D1, D2 with respect to the equilibrium position E, by contact with the cabochon 7.
  • the first resilient means 13, of a first stiffness k1 comprise a single winding 14, whose loops surround the axis of rotation A, and two movable branches 15, 16 in the extension of the two ends of the winding 14.
  • the spring 12 also comprises second elastic means of a second stiffness k2, lower than the first stiffness, constituted by an elastic tab 22 connected by a bend 23 at the end of the second movable arm 16 of the first elastic means 13.
  • tab 22 is contained in a plane passing through the axis of rotation A of the actuating part 6.
  • the second resilient means are supported on the one hand on the second movable arm 16 as soon as first resilient means, and on the other hand are intended to bear against a bearing portion of the actuating portion 6 constituted by a stop additional 24 located on the actuating part.
  • the positioning of the additional stop 24 relative to the second elastic means 22 is such that during a rotation in the direction D1, the additional stop 24 is in contact with the second elastic means 22 before the second drive stop 18 is in contact with the second movable branch 16.
  • the additional stop 24 is in contact with the end of the elastic tab 22, which bends, in particular thanks to its elasticity k2 less than that of the first elastic means 13, and then once that the elastic tab 22 is folded, the second driving abutment 18 comes into contact with the second movable arm 16, substantially at the level of the bend 23, and drives this second movable arm 16.
  • the two movable arms 15, 16 as well as the stops are arranged asymmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry of the actuating part in equilibrium position.
  • this arrangement makes it possible to use a body of known shape, which has a cylindrical shape only on a limited part of its upper surface, around which the elastic tab 22 can move in rotation.
  • the device comprises an axial stop not shown, limiting the translational movement of the winding 14 and the entire spring in the direction of the axis of rotation A of the actuating portion 6.
  • the bearing portion is constituted by the extension of the second drive abutment, the support branch having an oblique profile, with respect to a plane passing through the axis of rotation A of the part actuator 6.
  • the second elastic means may be constituted by an elastomer element 25, fixed on the actuating portion 6, and intended to be, in equilibrium position, positioned in compression between a bearing portion of the actuating part 6 and a movable branch of the first elastic means.
  • the first and second embodiments it is possible to provide a gap between the driving abutments such that the first elastic means are locked in a position of equilibrium between the two drive stops, leaving a gap between the movable branches and the blocking stops.
  • the second elastic means must be supported on a support portion of the body to allow to constrain the device in equilibrium position.
