Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an industrial truck with an operating lever having an operating means and a method for operating such a truck.
  • an operating element for an industrial truck with two operating levers and at least one switch arranged between them is known.
  • the operating levers are each designed for a two-axis movement and spatially spaced from each other such that for a positioned between the levers hand with the fingers, the operating lever without grasping and the at least one switch between the control levers is actuated.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a truck and a method for its operation, which allows the simplest possible means an intuitive and reliable operation.
  • the truck according to the invention is equipped with an operating means, which has an operating lever. Further, cooperating with the operating lever reset device is provided, which generates a restoring force for the operating lever, depending on the deflection.
  • a rest area is provided for the restoring device, in which the restoring force is reduced in a falling flank by a first latching force and increased in a rising flank by a second latching force.
  • the latching area results from the course of the restoring force, depending on the deflection in comparison to a substantially proportional course. With a proportional curve, the restoring force increases with increasing deflection. With a detent range for the deflection, the restoring force is increased in relation to this proportionality.
  • first and second latching force are equal.
  • the operating means is equipped with a state switch.
  • the status switch can be switched by overcoming the latching area.
  • the status switch can be used to define whether it is overcome with increasing or decreasing deflection. Depending on the direction of the deflection movement can be switched to another state for the truck.
  • the operating means has a state switch which is switched by holding the operating lever in its latching area.
  • a state switch a corresponding state is not switched by passing through the latching area and overcoming an additional latching force, but in that the operating lever is held in the latching area.
  • the state switch is used to switch between different vehicle functions or operating modes for a vehicle function.
  • the operating modes may indicate a different mode of operation of the same vehicle function.
  • a first deflection region is provided with deflections smaller than the deflection of the latching region. This means that, starting from a neutral position, there is a range of the deflection before the latching area is reached with increasing deflection.
  • a second deflection region with a deflection greater than the deflection of the latching region is provided.
  • a deflection area after passing through the latching area be provided.
  • the latching point can also be provided at a mean deflection, so that both a first and a second deflection region are provided.
  • only a first or a second deflection range is provided, with an additional vehicle function being controlled as long as the deflection of the operating lever is located in the latching region.
  • the latching area is at the beginning or at the end of the deflection of the operating lever.
  • only a first or a second deflection region is provided, and an additional vehicle function or an operating mode is switched by driving through the latching region once or several times.
  • the additional vehicle function or the operating mode is executed for a predetermined time, regardless of a deflection of the operating lever.
  • the control lever has in this embodiment, no task in the execution of the additional vehicle function, but the additional vehicle function or the operating mode is switched and executed, for example, for a predetermined time.
  • the additional vehicle function or the operating mode is executed for a predetermined time, depending on a deflection of the operating lever.
  • a first and a second deflection region can be provided, wherein the additional vehicle function or the operating mode is controlled as long as the deflection of the control lever is in the latching region located.
  • the centrally arranged latching area separates a first and a second deflection area, wherein switching is made by holding the control lever in the latching area and an additional vehicle function or an operating mode is controlled as long as the deflection of the control lever is in the latching area.
  • an additional vehicle function or an operating mode is switched by a single or repeated passing through of the latching region, which is executed independently of a deflection of the operating lever for a predetermined time.
  • the additional vehicle function or the operating mode is ended by a renewed driving through the latching area. This may be provided as a form of emergency stop.
  • the object of the invention is also achieved by a method for operating an industrial truck.
  • a method according to the invention forms the subject of claim 15.
  • the inventive method is used to operate an industrial truck with an operating lever having an operating means and a cooperating with the operating lever return device, which generates a restoring force depending on the deflection of the operating lever.
  • a latching area for its deflection is provided for the operating lever, in which the restoring force is increased by an additional restoring force.
  • the method is switched by overcoming the additional latching force or by holding the deflection in the latching area.
  • By switching an additional vehicle function can be started or switched to another operating mode. It is preferably provided to end a switched vehicle function or an operating mode by again overcoming the latching force.
  • Fig. 1 shows an operating means 10 having an operating lever 12.
  • the operating lever 12 has a lever head 14 which is formed crowned for ergonomic handling.
  • the operating lever 12 is pivotable with its lever head 14 relative to a base frame 18 in two axes K independently.
  • an elastic sleeve 16 is provided, which protects the lever foot of the operating lever 12 from contamination.
  • control lever With the control lever two deflections can be operated in positive and in negative direction.
  • the movements in both perpendicular directions can be carried out independently of each other and superimposed in this way.
  • the invention can already be carried out with a control lever with a one-dimensional deflection in a positive or negative direction.
  • FIG. 2 shows a model representation of the behavior of the operating lever in the catch area.
  • the operating lever To deflect the operating lever, it is moved in the X direction against a spring K 1 . With increasing deflection in the X direction, the spring force increases proportionally.
  • a second spring K 2 is provided, at the lower end schematically a wheel R is shown. The wheel R rolls on the ground, so that the spring K 2 on a level surface no contribution to the restoring force or to the counteracting force F.
  • the rest area is characterized by a depression in the ground. In this depression of the ground, the spring K 2 expands and delivers due to the slope of a spring force K 1 counteracting force. The sum of the forces is perceived as a decreasing restoring force.
  • the wheel R moves out of the recess, there arises a spring force K 1 energizing force component of the spring K 2 and hence increasing restoring force. Passing through the depression in the ground thus creates for the user the feeling that a detent point is being passed through. This operating sensation occurs both when the depression is driven through to smaller deflections towards a smaller extent of the force K 1 , as is the case when the depression is driven through to smaller deflections due to larger deflections.
  • Fig. 3 shows the course of a restoring force, depending on the deflection of the control lever in arbitrarily scaled units.
  • the units are scaled so that at a maximum deflection of 100%, the intended maximum restoring force of 100% is applied.
  • the in Fig. 3 illustrated Relationship between deflection and restoring force has a lower proportionality range for a displacement of 0% to 40% and an upper proportionality range for a displacement of 60% to 100%.
  • the deflection force drops with an excursion of approximately 45%, despite increasing deflection.
  • This is followed by a steeply increasing restoring force, which decreases again at about 55% deflection in a falling flank with increasing deflection to move into the upper range of proportionality.
  • lower and upper proportionality regions have an approximately equal slope. This is not necessary. It can also be provided that the proportionality regions have a different slope.
  • the latching region 20 also has two falling flanks 22 and 24, in which the restoring force decreases with increasing deflection. Due to the falling flanks 20 and 22, the additional to be overcome latching force .DELTA.R is more noticeable. Between the falling flanks 22, 24 is a rising edge 25, in which the restoring force increases disproportionately with the deflection. By reversing the falling or increasing restoring force, the flank 25 can be perceived as a latching region, as both the rising and the decreasing deflection in the latching region with the falling flanks 22, 24 are reversed.
  • Such semi-automatic functions include, for example, the Hubtownnvor inches, in which the vehicle lifts the load up to a predetermined lift height and stops there independently.
  • the function of Mastsenkrechtstellens can be designed as a semi-automatic function that aligns the mast independently vertically.
  • the semi-automatic function is triggered via the operating lever.
  • the Hubtownnvorians it is known, for example, that the Hubtownnvor Vietnamese is triggered by a slight withdrawal of the operating lever in the vicinity of the approaching lifting height. The vehicle recognizes the slight retraction of the operating lever and then moves independently to the preselected lifting height.
  • locking points according to the invention can be switched by driving through or holding the operating lever in the latching area.
  • Fig. 3 shows the relationship between restoring force and deflection at an end rest point, which occurs at deflection of more than 80%.
  • the latching area 26 corresponds in its configuration to the latching area Fig. 2 with two falling edges 28 and 30.
  • the switching range is off in the embodiment Fig. 3 for deflections greater than the falling edge 30, so provided for deflections near 100%.
  • the latching area To the switching range from the embodiment in Fig. 3 To reach, the latching area must be run through and the operating lever above the latching area are located.
  • the additional latching force .DELTA.R is used as a switch, is then switched in the downstream switching range in its passage.
