Definitions

  • Such hand control transmitters are often used to control heavy machinery. For example, they are used to control cranes, excavators, forklifts or as a speed controller for rail vehicles and ships. They can be operated like a joystick. Basically, many types of machines that are manually operated can be controlled with a hand control transmitter. Modular design supports the use of a manual control transmitter in many machine control arrangements.
  • the control takes place via the respective angular position of the control shaft, which is connected to the control lever. It is known to detect the angular position optically, for example by means of a coded disc. The angular position can also be determined electronically, for example via a potentiometer.
  • the two-dimensional hand control transmitters have two non-parallel control shafts, which are driven by a suitable gear.
  • the sensitivity of a manual control transmitter can be achieved with a suitable transmission between control lever and control shaft.
  • the manual controllers are often used in damp, dusty or dirty environments.
  • the dirt, moisture or dust can permanently disturb the operation of the manual control transmitter after a while.
  • the moisture leads, e.g. For corrosion, the dirt or the dust often influences the functionality of the manual control transmitter.
  • the US 5,619,195 describes a joystick or position controller, which is used in particular for controlling machines.
  • the position controller has a control lever, which is mounted via a universal joint in two directions of rotation.
  • the rotation angles are detected by means of Hall effect sensors and magnetic bar.
  • By pressing the control lever generates the respective Hall effect sensor electrical signal corresponding to the respective angle of rotation of the control lever about the corresponding axis in the universal joint.
  • Disadvantage of the position controller mentioned in this prior art is that the rotational angle recording is very sensitive to moisture and therefore susceptible to corrosion. Dirt or dust can impair the function.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a manual control device for controlling machines, which eliminates the disadvantages of the prior art, is particularly reliable, dirt-resistant and easy to manufacture.
  • this is the inductively sensitive element provided on a printed circuit board, which is arranged substantially perpendicular to the axis of the control shaft.
  • the inductively sensitive element is arranged in the region of the end face of the control shaft in order to obtain the magnetic effect of the permanent magnet.
  • the circuit board is coupled to a motherboard on which further electronic components are provided.
  • the motherboard contains, for example, a processor-controlled evaluation unit with a memory for processing the signals detected by the inductively sensitive element.
  • the motherboard may include an interface for external devices, via which the devices are driven, for example, for control or to otherwise utilize the detected signals.
  • the printed circuit boards and the motherboard are provided in a separate housing.
  • the electrical circuits are protected separately from dirt and possibly moisture.
  • the switching elements applied to the circuit boards are preferably also completely or partially enclosed by the housing.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the rotary encoder detects the rotation angle and / or the angular velocity and / or the angular acceleration and generates a corresponding signal in each case. This allows different movement parameters of the control lever to be detected, which can be used for a differentiated operation of the machine. Thus, for example, the degree of acceleration of an engine can be varied.
  • the inductively sensitive element is designed as a chip containing micro-coils.
  • the training as a chip allows for a much smaller and more compact design of the hand control transmitter, as it was the case previously. It can also be used to minimize soiling because the transducers consume less volume overall.
  • the permanent magnet is located in a recess of the end face of the control shaft.
  • the recess may be formed as a bore on the end face of the control shaft, in which a bar magnet is inserted and glued.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the hand control transmitter according to the invention is obtained by a return mechanism, wherein the control lever against the Return mechanism is actuated and returns the control lever and the control shaft after pressing in a starting position.
  • the control lever is always returned to a defined position. The operator only has to release the control lever in order to reach this starting position.
  • a further development can also be achieved by providing suitable locking points between the maximum deflection position of the control lever and its starting position. Thus, if necessary, engage the control lever in different positions additionally.
  • the return mechanism consists of two independently adjustable torsion springs, which are arranged around the control shaft. Due to the redundancy of the torsion springs, a functional spring remains in action during a spring break. This increases the reliability of the manual control transmitter. In addition, by using two torsion springs different pressure points can be generated by setting them differently. With an adjustment mechanism, the torsion springs can be biased differently.
  • a particular embodiment of the invention is that the mounting device is provided in a housing from which the control lever protrudes.
  • the mounting device is an area in which all the components are arranged for their joint action. This makes it easy to mount the hand control transmitter in a modular design. Even with repairs, only the defective element needs to be replaced.
  • control lever has at least one switch. In this way, the hand control transmitter receives even more control units with which machines or devices can be controlled or events triggered.
  • control lever is sealed with an elastic sealing body to the housing.
  • the elastic Sealing body formed by a bellows, because this proves to be particularly suitable due to its elastic properties for such control lever.
  • Fig. 1 shows in section an inventive hand control transmitter 10.
  • the manual control transmitter 10 includes a mounting device 12, in which two control shafts 14, 16 are rotatably mounted.
  • the control shafts 14, 16 are, like a cross, arranged perpendicular to each other. With a control lever 18, the two control shafts 14, 16 drive via a universal joint 19.
  • the control shafts 14, 16 are respectively biased with two leg springs 20, 22, which serve as a return mechanism 24.
  • the tension of the torsion springs 20, 22 is adjusted with one tensioning device 26, 28 each. Due to the redundancy of the leg springs 20, 22, the reliability is increased as soon as one of the leg springs 20, 22 fails, for example due to breakage.
  • the pressure points for the operation at different settings of the leg springs 20, 22 vary.
  • the control shafts 14, 16 have as bores 30, 32 recesses formed on end faces 34, 36 of the ends. In these bores 30, 32 are each permanent magnets 38, 40. Opposite each of the permanent magnets 38, 40 each have a printed circuit board 42, 44 is arranged. On the circuit boards 42, 44 each have an inductively sensitive element 46, 48 is provided. These inductively sensitive elements 46, 48 serve in cooperation with the permanent magnets 38, 40 as a rotary encoder.
  • the inductively sensitive elements 46, 48 are chips with micro-coils which react to a changing magnetic field.
  • the permanent magnets 38, 40 induce an electric current in the coils, which can be evaluated for detecting a rotational movement of the control shafts 14, 16.
  • the current is forwarded as a signal stream for processing.
  • the set angle can be determined, but possibly also an angular velocity or an angular acceleration, which can be used to control a machine.
  • the permanent magnets 38, 40 are arranged for this purpose largely perpendicular to the respective chip or the printed circuit boards 42, 44.
  • the printed circuit boards 42, 44 are provided on a mother board 47.
  • 44 further electronic functional units 49 are provided in addition to the circuit boards 42, 44.
  • this includes an interface 50 in order to connect the manual control transmitter 10 with machines or devices to be controlled.
  • a processor unit, a memory and other switching logic which may be provided as integrated circuits on a chip, are located on the motherboard 47.
  • these functional elements are not shown in the present diagram.
  • the hand control transmitter 10 operates digitally. But an analogous method of operation can also be provided.
  • the printed circuit boards 42, 44 and the mother board 47 are located in a separate, inner housing 52, which is usually made of plastic. This protects them from external influences.
  • the printed circuit boards 42, 44 are there again in pockets 56 of the inner housing 52.
  • the circuit boards 42, 44 are aligned stable in this way, so that the inductively sensitive elements 46, 48 each perpendicular to the end face 34, 36 of the control shafts 14, 16 are arranged.
  • the inner housing 52 is located next to the mounting device 12 in an outer housing 54, which in the present case is made of metal.
  • the outer housing 54 pot-like encloses the entire control mechanism and protects it from external influences.
  • a flange 57 is provided in order to fix the hand control transmitter 10 in an assembly modular.
  • the control lever 18 protrudes to be able to operate it, out of the outer housing 54.
  • a switch 60 preferably a deadman switch, which allows the operation of an additional function of the manual control transmitter 10.
  • an elastic bellows 62 is coated. This bellows 62 seals the outer housing 54 of the manual control transmitter 10.
  • An upper portion 64 of the bellows 62 is formed as a handle 66, whereby the control lever 18 is operated. With 68 mounting feet are referred to, with which the manual control transmitter 10 can be supported in an assembly.
