Description

The invention relates to command input devices in a PC and can be used in computer games to control the flight of a virtual plane.

Known game manipulator "Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog" (), consisting of two devices: aircraft control sticks (RUS) and dual engine thrust control (ORE) made of heavy metal. On the handle there are 18 control buttons, an 8-position view switch (hat). There are 32 buttons on the ORE, a hat and a mini-joystick. The manipulator is multifunctional, but does not reflect the real process of controlling the aircraft, since it does not have pedals. In addition, the manipulator is quite expensive and inaccessible to many computer users.

The Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System () gaming manipulator-steering wheel is known. The control module is a housing with three levers, under which there are three on / off switches. The lever heads have a different shape, which allows them to be distinguished by touch and not be distracted from the computer monitor. Fixing the steering wheel and module on the computer table is provided with clamps. This manipulator also does not reflect the real process of controlling the aircraft, since it does not have pedals.

Eight-position view switches do not provide accuracy of pointing to an object of interest located at the junction of viewports. In addition, the joystick handles themselves (as in the Thrustmaster HOTOS Warthog), due to the low height of their levers, have insufficient deviation amplitude, which reduces the accuracy of control of the aircraft and physical sensations during its control.

A device "power joystick" (application for the invention of the Russian Federation No. 2003130952 from 10.20.03), containing a game rod with removable handles, the lower end of which is made in the form of a ball and placed in a glass that forms an environment of adjustable friction, and an additional optical mouse. Electric taps are made from the mouse keys, which end with buttons placed on a removable handle. An optical mouse scanning a spherical surface controls the position of the cursor on the monitor screen of a personal computer depending on the movement of the specified game rod. The luminous flux from the optical mouse is brought to the surface of the ball, and reflected from its surface, is fed to the input of the mouse movement sensor using separate fiber optic cables. This device cannot be fully used to control the flight of a virtual plane in the corresponding computer games.

The closest is the power device to the joystick for controlling a virtual airplane according to the patent of the Russian Federation for utility model No. 60871 of September 15, 2006. The device consists of two parts with platforms, one of which is a rudder control mechanism made in the form of pedals mounted on the floor and the second, with control knobs, is a gas and flap control mechanism mounted on a table. Both parts of the device are connected to the joystick, with the help of which the ailerons, rudder and weapons are controlled. The pedals are made with their deviation sensor and arches for fixing the legs, movably connected to the traction consoles and mounted on a swing beam. The beam is connected to the return mechanism and is movably mounted on the platform with the pedal link and sensor bracket mounted on it and mounted on the base plate. The bracket is rotatable to adjust the sensor. Gas control and control of the flaps is carried out by two control knobs connected to levers made to rotate relative to the axis of their attachment and with travel limiters, the flap control lever mounted on a rocker arm made in the form of a two-shouldered lever and connected by spring-hinged mechanisms with limiters with a plate microswitches. The platform of the control handles is made in the form of a housing with a clamp integrated into it. This device is not functional enough, it requires a joystick, for its fastening you need a place on the table.

The inventive power device, as well as known, contains a device with engine control levers and flaps and pedals for controlling the rudder of a virtual plane with a sensor for their deviation and arches for fixing legs, movably connected to traction consoles and mounted on a swing beam connected to a return mechanism and movably mounted on a platform with a pedal rod mounted on it, the platform mounted on a base plate; the gas and flap control handles are rotatable relative to the axis of their attachment.

The objective of the invention is to create a basic device - pedals that control the rudder of a virtual airplane, capable of expanding by connecting additional devices, the first of which is the throttle (a device with engine control levers, flaps and landing gear), equipped with four levers, and a removable mount screw clamps, the second - RUS (aircraft control stick) with the adaptation of the throttle design to a standard computer chair, to expand the range of accessories s gaming devices to home computers, allowing the house and not in the center of the game, get a realistic sense of the management of the virtual plane.

The technical result consists in expanding the functionality of the power device with increasing realism, the convenience of using it during the game and the accuracy of controlling a virtual airplane. The technical result also consists in increasing the manufacturability of the device.

The technical result according to the first embodiment is achieved by the fact that each pedal is made with a movable brake pad that rotates around the pins within the cutouts in the cheeks of the arc, made with lateral bent upwards collars and resting on a spring installed in a self-aligning plate with a free end. The swivel beam is made of an L-shaped section, mounted on a support bearing mounted in a support plate, and has an ear for connecting to the exhaust rod of a return cylinder type power cylinder. The base plate is made in the form of a T-shaped base with stiffeners, on the console of the cross member of which there is an ear for fastening the power cylinder of the return mechanism; the pedal deflection sensor is a potentiometer, the body of which is fixed in a platform mounted on the rod to the right or left of the axis of rotation, a leash is mounted on the shaft of the potentiometer, mated with a groove to the bracket rod fixed to the fixed axis of rotation of the rod. A device with engine control levers, flaps and chassis (ORE) is a body consisting of a base with upwardly bent sections, front and rear, and a left wall, on the outside of which a block of engine control levers is fixed on the axis of rotation, made with the possibility of adjusting them in height, with a partition and two handles, on the common fixed axis in which the shafts of their potentiometers are fixed, the cases of which are connected with the corresponding handles. In parallel to the left wall, another partition is installed on the base, on the one side of which there is a four-position flap handle with a gear ring interacting with the petal of the microswitch assembly, on the axis of which, on the other side, the landing gear control handle is rotated and skewed relative to this axis, moved along the cutout inclined U-shaped frame, and a spring mounted on the same axis and pressing both handles to the partition. Each of the handles has a recoil mechanism, a fixation unit is made in the base of the ore body, which is a rectangular cutout at the bottom of the base of the body, passing in front of a window with a ball lock diagonally mounted inside the body diagonally above the cutout.

The technical result according to the second embodiment is achieved by the fact that the power device further comprises an airplane control stick (RUS) mounted on the elevator and ailerons sensors assembly, which is a removable RUS platform with cheeks bent up at right angles that have openings for the shaft, made with a cutout under the platform for installing on it a swinging platform of the aileron sensor, made with two bevels in the lower part, with which in extreme positions it abuts against the elevator shaft along its generatrix and limits the deviation of the RUS. The body of the elevator sensor is connected to the cheek of the removable platform RUS, and its shaft is fixed in the hole in the end of the elevator shaft, the aileron sensor is of lever type, mounted on a swinging platform and has a leash mated to an arm fixed to the elevator shaft. At the other end of the elevator shaft there is a lever made with two bevels defining its extreme positions and connected with the exhaust rod of the cylinder of the RUS return mechanism, which holds the RUS in a position deviated from the user. The RUS is mounted in front of the base of the pedals and ends with a ring-shaped handle, at the bottom of which there is a box with levers of the aircraft’s arms control buttons and a hand brake lever, and a view pointer is fixed in the upper part, which contains a plastic case with a printed circuit board, an emitter and an optical mouse photodetector. A hemispherical niche with a flange is attached to the housing, in which microswitches are connected to the printed circuit board, a hollow sphere made of a transparent polymer with a matte inner surface is placed in the niche, closed with a lid in the form of a truncated sphere and separated from the photodetector at a certain distance depending on the thickness of the sphere wall and providing focusing of light on the photodetector. A bracket is installed in the fixation unit for the base of the ore body, which is a tubular body consisting of two parts in the form of glasses connected by bottoms and made with the possibility of their rotation relative to each other and with an automatic fixation unit in a new position. The glasses have the same cylindrical inserts with slots, in which there are platforms made with the possibility of their rotation and with automatic fixation by ball clamps placed in the insert at the end of the slot.

The pedal return mechanism can be made in the form of a cylinder with a cover open from the side of the base cross member attached to the console’s ear and connected to the ear by a two-stage finger passing through the cylinder walls, while the ear is located between the finger ledge and the cutout in the cylinder wall through the hole in the cover a threaded rod passes at one end and a disk at the other; a compression spring is placed between the disk and the cover. The recoil mechanism of the flap handle can be a U-shaped bracket with two buttons and a spring between them, with which in the extreme positions the flap handle is in contact with its bent sections; the recoil mechanism of the chassis handle is a U-shaped frame, the lateral sections of which have a steep profile, provide the ability to slide the handle under the action of a spring, dressed on the axis of the handle. The return mechanism of the RUS can be made in the form of a power cylinder open from the side of its fastening to the ear on the cheek of the RUS platform placed inside the cylinder, for which a corresponding cutout is made in the cylinder wall and connected to the ear with a finger passing through the cylinder walls. The RUS handle can be made in the form of a curved polymer pipe, the handle is made in the form of a ring with straight side and upper sections or in the form of an ellipse elongated vertically. The node for automatically fixing the bracket cups relative to each other can be a spring located in the bottom of one cup, held and centered by a cap with a bolt screwed into the bottom of the other cup and fixed in it by a nut and washer in contact with two steel balls inserted into the holes of the bottom of this cup that mate with the holes in the bottom of the first glass when they are rotated to fix in a new position.

The power device to the computer for controlling a virtual airplane according to the first independent claim is a device consisting of two main parts: pedals (rudder) 1, with a switching box and switching modes 2 (see figures 1, 2); and throttle device (see Figs. 3, 4, 5) 3 with flap control knobs 4, chassis 5 and engines 6. The body of the throttle device 3 is attached to the table using a removable clamp (not shown).

The base part of the device (see figures 1, 2) are pedals 1 with a switching box and switching modes 2, to which the throttle 3 is connected using the appropriate cord with a connector. Pedals 1 consist of the following main parts: the base of 7 pedals, two pedals 8 with brake pads 9 under the feet, a swing beam 10, a return mechanism 11, which is a power cylinder 12 and an axis with a head 13, of a pedal deflection sensor assembly 14, consisting of potentiometer sensor 15 with a leash 16, a platform 17 and an arm 18, and traction 19 of the pedals. The base 7 of the pedals is made T-shaped with three fulcrum, its cross member 20 is at the same time a limiter when installing the pedals 1 under the computer table, preventing such an installation in which the maximum deviation of the pedals could damage the vertical surfaces of the table. The bearing assembly 21 of the pivot beam 10 is suspended under the longitudinal part of the base 7, the rear inclined surface of which passing into the cross member 20 serves to mount the switching box and select modes 2. On the left console of the cross member 20 there is an ear 22 for attaching the power cylinder 12 (return mechanism 11 beams), made at the same time with the cross member 20 and bent for the horizontal arrangement of the cylinder 12. The longitudinal stiffness of the base 7 is provided by longitudinal (front and rear) stiffeners 23 of the L-shaped section, combining by them a bearing assembly 21 with front and rear inclined surfaces of the base 7. Transverse rigidity - with a stiffener 24 under the cross member 20, with which it forms a tubular structure of a triangular section. For the rotary beam 10, a support bearing is used as the most common in the technique, which increases the manufacturability of the device.

The pivot beam 10 has an L-shaped cross section, which improves the manufacturability of its manufacture in comparison with the T-shaped prototype, because it can be made, for example, on a die cut followed by flexible, or be cut from the L-shaped profile, or made in another way. On the left side of the beam 10 there is a pedal deflection limiter 25 made in the form of a plate perpendicular to both shelves of the beam 10, at the end surface of which, with a maximum deflection of the pedals 1, a rod 19 rests on its lateral surface connecting the pedal bases 26. The ear of the beam 27 with the reduction sleeve 28 is located in the same place, into which the axis with the head 13 having a radial hole for the threaded end of the rod 29 of the power cylinder 12 is inserted rotatably from the bottom. The ear 27 can be made integral with the horizontal shelf of the beam 10, or the butt can be welded To her. The presence of the ear 27 is due to the need to ensure the same amount of extension of the rod 29 from the cylinder 12 in the extreme positions of the deflection of the pedals 1, and hence the force exerted for this, which is guaranteed if the axis of the ear 27 lies in the plane passing through the axis of attachment when the beam 10 is in the neutral position cylinder 12 to the base 7 and the axis of rotation 30 of the beam 10.

The return mechanism 11 of the beam 10 of the pedals is a power cylinder 12, made in the form of a cylinder with a cover through which a rod 29 is threaded at one end, and with a welded disc 31 at the other. Between the disk 31 and the cover inside the cylinder is a spring 32 in a pre-compressed state. The threaded portion of the rod 29 is passed through the hole in the head of the axle 13 of the ear of the beam 27, and on the other hand, a nut (not shown) is screwed onto it, which controls the pre-compression of the spring 32. The pre-compression of the spring 32 is necessary to position the pedals 1 in the neutral position after the deflection disappears their efforts. An increase in pre-compression makes this positioning clearer, and the force applied to deflect pedals 1 is greater, which adds realism to pedal control. The cylinder 12 is attached to the base crossbeam 22 by means of a two-stage pin 33 passing through both walls of the cylinder, fixed from the outside with a retaining ring (not shown) in a portion of a smaller diameter. In this case, the ear 22 is between the ledge of the finger from the bottom and the notch along the generatrix in the cylinder wall from above, the lower part of the cylinder wall does not contact the ear 22 and is saved only for the hole for the finger. This design of the power cylinder 12 increases the manufacturability of the device.

Each pedal 8 (see Fig. 1, 2) consists of an arc 34, the cheeks of which are welded from below to the base 26, in which there is a hole with the pedal axis 35 inserted and fixed in it, with which pedals 8 are installed in the sleeves 36 on the consoles the rotary beam 10. The pedal 8 has a brake pad 9, which rotates around a pair of pins 37 located in the front of the cheeks of the arc 34, at an angle of 15 °, defined by cuts in the back of the cheeks of the arc 34, in which the protrusions on the free end of the platform 9 are moved. In the upper position, the pad 9 is held by a spring 3 8. The upper end of the spring 38 is mounted on its centering disk 39, mounted on the pad 9, and the lower end is inserted into the self-aligning plate 40, which has a hemispherical niche, with which it is mated to the spherical surface of the cap nut 41 screwed onto the protruding end of the bolt 42 (as a lock nut ) connecting the pedal positioning ear (not shown), made integral with the base 26 with the threaded sleeve 43 and located in the rear of the base 26 of the pedal with the thrust 19. When pressed, the platform 9, turning around the pins 37, free their m ends down on the lever of the microswitch 44, mounted on the inner surface of the cheek of the arc 34. On the sides, the movable platforms 9, moving in the cheeks of the arcs 34, have upwardly bent arms 45 to prevent injury to the foot by pinching and at the same time to give the sites longitudinal rigidity, which ensures ease of use device. The base 26 of the pedal from the front has a protruding part, bent from the end down (the bend is made through perforation), as a support under the heel of the foot. The bent part of the base 26 and the surface of the brake pad 9 of the pedal in the unloaded state lie in one inclined plane.

The node of the pedal deflection sensor 14 has a movable part (sensor-potentiometer 15 with a leash 16, its mounting platform 17) located on the rod 19 connecting the pedals to the right of the axis of rotation, and the fixed bracket 18 mounted on the axis of rotation of the rod 19. The platform 17 of the potentiometer 15 has a cylindrical shape, equipped with a trunnion (not shown), which it is inserted into the hole of the rod 19, in which the platform 17 is rotated for adjustment, and a collar for fixation using the pressure bar 47. A lead 16 is mounted on the shaft 48 of the potentiometer 15. with p Zom. With this groove, the lead 16 is coupled to a vertical rod (not shown) located on the console of the bracket 18. With zero pedal deflection 1, the distance between the rod and the shaft 48 of potentiometer 15 is minimal. With the maximum deviation of the pedals 1 by an angle of 25 °, this distance doubles, which leads to a rotation of the shaft 48 of the potentiometer by 45 ° (i.e., the limit of measurement of the potentiometer expands from 50 ° to 90 °). In the case of reducing the initial distance between the rod of the bracket 18 and the shaft 48 of the potentiometer 15, this design allows you to further expand the measuring range of the potentiometer 15, which reduces the effect of electric noise of the potentiometer on the quality of control at relatively small angles of control deviation of 30 ÷ 50 °. (The "noise of the potentiometer" in the game is manifested by a chaotic trembling of the steering surface, the deviation of which this device must set.)

The throttle device 3 (see Figs. 3, 4, 5) is a body with flap control levers 4, chassis 5 and engines (gas) 6. The device 3 has four handles with three axes, which are used as analog potentiometers: two axes on the gas handles 6 (right and left engine), a four-position flap control handle 4 having a third axis and a two-position chassis control handle 5 (landing gear release / cleaning) mounted on the axis of the handle 4. The throttle body 3 (see FIG. 3) consists of from base 49 with front (low) and rear bent up m (high) sections and the left wall 50, welded to the end surface of the base 49. On the outside of the left wall is attached a block 51 of the gas handles 6, which can be rotated around an axis 52 located in the far upper part of the wall 50 to adjust the position of the handles in height. A L-shaped platform 53 is attached from the inside to the wall 50 and to the base 49 for mounting the microswitch assembly 54 of the four-position flap handle 4. A partition 55 is installed parallel to the left wall 50 on the base 49, on both sides of which there is a flap control handle 4 and a chassis control handle 5 having a common axis 56, and on the handle 4, the axis 56 is fixed and rotates with it, and the handle 5 rotates around the axis 56, with the possibility of skewing on it. Both handles 4, 5 are pressed against the partition 55 by a spring 57, centered on the axis 56 from both sides by caps 58, mounted on the free end of the axis 56 and fixed on it in a pre-compressed state by the locking ring 59. The flap handle 4 has a concentric groove (not shown) within which it can be rotated through an angle of 120 °, limited by a bolt 60 inserted into the hole of the partition 55, which on the other hand fastens the arch-guide 61 of the chassis arm 5. From the bottom, the arm 4 has platforms 62 bent by 90 °, which are at its extreme by dix interact with the mechanism of the recoil handle 63, which after termination of the external impact of the handle 4, she pushed for the release of the corresponding microswitch.

The recoil mechanism 63 of the handle 4 is a U-shaped bracket that is attached to the partition 55 under the axis of the handle 4, and has holes in which buttons with collars are inserted from the inside, a spacer spring (not shown) is placed between the buttons, which ensures independent operation of the buttons and compactness of the node. A ring gear 64 is fixed on the side surface of the flap handle 4. When the handle 4 is rotated, the teeth of the ring 64 come into contact with the petal 65 of the microswitch unit 54, while the petal 65, deviating, presses the button of the corresponding microswitch (not shown), then moving further, the tooth overcomes the lobe 65 and the button is released. At both ends, crown 64 ends with a rectangular protrusion 66, the task of which is only to deflect the tab 65 to close the button, and the recoil mechanism of the handle 63 then releases the button, pushing the lever back. When the lever 4 is moved in the opposite direction, another button is pressed and released sequentially. By programming the buttons for the opposite actions in the game, a stepwise release of the flaps is provided when the handle 4 moves in one direction, and cleaning when moving in the other direction, which visually confirms and tactile rotation of the handle to the desired position is supported.

The release / cleaning of the flaps in the game can be programmatically assigned to the axis 56, in this case, the user-player can independently choose the angle of their deviation (for more fine-tuning, which occurs when the wing lift). To do this, a shaft (not shown) of a potentiometer 67 is inserted and fixed in the hole of the axis 56 from the side of its fastening to the flap handle 4, and its housing is fixed from turning 55 on the partition 55 by a L-shaped reactive rod 68, which prevents the rotation of the potentiometer body 67 after turning his shaft.

The chassis arm 5 has a platform (base), pressed by a spring to the right side of the partition, adjacent to it (on one side) at an angle of 135 ° by the body of the handle of the chevron section, the rib of which rests when moving to the internal cutout of a complex configuration in arch 61, which is a tilted U-shaped frame, which is inserted into the base holes with the spikes of its legs and abuts against the partition 55 with the upper horizontal rib and is fixed with a bolt 60, which is also a limiting and pressing element for the flap handle 4 (on the other side of the partition). The aforementioned cutout is designed so that the handle 5, moving along it only in its two positions, falls on two opposite sections, on which it does not squeeze out with this cutout, where its platform is fully pressed against the partition 55, and the spring 57 is least compressed (t. e. the handle, as it were, “sinks” into these areas). When transferring the handle 5 from one such position to another, it is wrung out by the frame from the partition 55, compressing the spring 57, while the increasing resistance of the handle 5 is felt until it comes to a vertical position, as it moves further, the resistance weakens until the handle 5 hits to another same section, after which the passage (by the user, the moment of passage of the section is not felt due to the slight effort to overcome it) the movement of the handle 5 continues, so that the handle could reach the petal 69 of the microswitch 70, mounted on the corresponding leg of the arch 61 (the closure is determined by the characteristic click and the lever stops in the restrictive protrusion 71 of the arch 61), while the skew of the handle 5 and the associated compression of the spring 57 increase so much that when the pressure on the handle is weakened 5, it is discarded to the area where the handle 5 is not skewed, the petal of the microswitch 70 is released, and the orientation of the handle 5 indicates the position of the chassis.

The handle block of the “gas” 51 (see Figs. 3, 4) is a cylindrical body 72 mounted on an arm 73 that can rotate along the left wall 50 of the throttle body within a concentric groove 74 by an angle of 38 °, with the possibility of fixing in the desired position in order to adjust the position of the handles in height. Inside this housing 72, a partition 75 is inserted and fixed with two grooves and a screw, into which an axis 76 is inserted having a protrusion to prevent its rotation. The handles 6 have concentric grooves 77, allowing them to rotate relative to the bolt 78 passing through both grooves 77 and the hole in the partition 75 between them at an angle of 114 °. Both handles 6 are fixed on the axis 76 by snap rings and pressed against the partition 75 by a spring 79, mounted on the bolt 80 on one side and made with adjustment of the compression value. The fixed axis 76 has a through axial hole in which, on both sides, the shafts (not shown) of the potentiometers 82 of the arms 6 are inserted and secured with pin screws 81, the housings of which are fixed with spikes in the holes of the respective arms using the L-shaped bars 83 (or reaction rods) i.e., the potentiometer housing 82 rotates with the handle 6 around the fixed shaft of the potentiometer 82). Since the handles 6 are separated only by a partition 75, for convenience of manipulation they are made with bends, allowing to increase the distance between them.

To provide two mounting options, the ORE 3 device is equipped with a fixing unit 84, which, according to the first independent claim, provides for fastening a screw clamp (not shown) to the ORE 3 device. The clamp fixation unit 84 is located in the front of the base of the ORE housing 49, has a rectangular cutout 85 that extends on the front bent portion of the base into the window 86, somewhat wider than the main cutout on the lower surface, through which the clamp fixation pad is inserted into the base 49 (not shown ) Inside the ORE 3 device, above the cutout in the base 49, a latch 87 is made diagonally fixed in the form of a bar, for example, of a caprolon of rectangular cross-section, in the bottom of which there is a cut corresponding to the shape of the clamp fixation pad and having a blind hole with a spring and a ball 88 resting against base 49 immediately after cutout 85. This throttle can also be attached to the computer chair with a special bracket (according to the second independent claim). The ORE clamp is equipped for fastening to the table in the case when a joystick is used that is connected to the PC separately from the ORE pedals.

The power device to the computer for controlling a virtual airplane according to the second independent version of the formula (see Fig.6, 7, 8) is a complex consisting of three main parts: pedals (rudder) 1, with a switching box and switching modes 2; aircraft control sticks (RUS) 89 with a pointer 90 and a node 91 control weapons and a hand brake; and throttle control device 3 with flap control levers 4, chassis 5 and engines 6. RUS 89 is mounted on the base of 7 pedals 1 under the longitudinal part of base 7, the front inclined surface of which is the front support point and serves to fasten the RUS 89, and the body of the throttle device 3 has a connector with a ball lock 87 for mounting the throttle on a special bracket 92 mounted on a chair 93 instead of one of the armrests.

The base part of the complex (see FIGS. 6, 7) also includes pedals 1 with a switching and mode switching box 2, to which RUS 89 and RUD 3 are connected using the corresponding cords with connectors. All devices connected to switch box 2 are connected to a PC through a USB controller 94 connected to box 2.

The RUS (see Fig. 7) consists of a handle 89, crowned with an annular handle 95 with a pointer 90 and a node 91 for controlling weapons and a hand brake, a node for sensors 96 of the elevator 97 and ailerons 98.

The elevator and ailerons sensors assembly 96 (see Figs. 8, 9, 10), which is part of the RUS, is a removable platform 99 (hereinafter referred to as the RUS platform) with cheeks 100 bent through elongated openings at right angles, in which there are openings 101 under the shaft 102. In the shaft 102, a cutout is made for the platform 103 for installing the swinging platform 104 of the aileron sensor 98, partially opening the axial hole 105 located from the right end of the shaft 102 to the depth necessary for pressing the platform 103 of the ledge on the console of the shaft 106 of the potentiometer 97 ( elevator sensor) inserted into the hole 105. An adjustment disk 107 is mounted on a portion of the shaft 102 protruding from the right cheek that is coupled to the potentiometer body 97, rotated with it during adjustment and then fixed with a screw. This design platform 99 RUS simplifies the manufacture of node 96.

On the left side, the shaft 102 has a section of smaller diameter protruding from the cheek, on which the lever 108 is rigidly fixed, pivotally connected to the rod 109 of the cylinder 110 of the return mechanism RUS 111. There are two bevels on the lower part of the lever 108, each of which is in its extreme position comes into contact with the plate 112, mounted under the lever 108 on the left cheek of the platform RUS 99 and restricting the rotation of the lever 108 with the shaft 102 within 0 ° ÷ 25 °. The longitudinal movement of the shaft 102 is limited relative to the left cheek 100 on one side by a lever 108, and on the other the installation of the retaining ring 113.

The handle 89 is in a position deviated from the virtual pilot (the elevator in the dive position) and is held in this position by the power cylinder 110 of the return mechanism РУ 111, the rod 109 of which is pivotally connected to the lever 108 of the shaft 106 of the elevator sensor, passes through the hole in the cover a cylinder 110, inside which a spring 114, which is in an initially compressed state, is held, centered on its outer diameter by a plate 115 fixed on the stem 109 by a locking ring 116. In the rear of the left cheek of the platform RUS 1 00 there is an ear 117 to which a cylinder 110 is attached using a finger 118. Since the finger 118 passes through the walls of the cylinder 110, and the ear 117 of its fastening is inside the cylinder 110, a cutout (not shown) is made in the lower part of its wall.

The swinging platform 104 (see FIGS. 10, 11) of the aileron sensor 98 has an opening with an axle inserted and fixed in it with a collar 119, the protruding end of which, passing through the hole in the platform 103, mounted in the neckline of the shaft 102, forms a swivel joint, in which to eliminate the play between the rubbing surfaces on the axis 119 there is a spring 120, which is based on the shoulder of the plate 121, worn on the axis 119 and centering the spring 120 on the inner diameter. In the compressed state, the spring 120 is held by the cover 122, which is fixed by the circlip 123. To prevent an increase in the gap when the RUS is tilted to the “to itself” position, which could disrupt the aileron sensor, a restriction sleeve 124 is placed under the cover 122, centered by the cover 122 with one hand, and plate 121 on the other. The axis 119, mounted on the swing platform 104, on the side of the collar has an axial threaded hole for attaching the pressure plate 125 of the base 126 of the ailerons 98. The hole for the axle of the base 126 of the ailerons 98 in the swing platform 104 is located on the axis of symmetry of the last and above its axis of rotation. The bracket 127 is fixedly mounted on the shaft 102 of the elevator sensor, while the axis 128 on its console is located above the shaft 129 of the potentiometer 98, parallel to it and mated with the groove of the leash 130, mounted on the shaft of the potentiometer 98. The principle of operation of the mechanism of the aileron sensor 98 is the same as at the pedal sensor. The lower part of the swinging platform 104 has two bevels, each of which in its extreme position abuts against the shaft of the elevator sensor along its generatrix, which ensures that the handle RUS 89 is deflected 15 ° to the right / left.

In the upper part of the swinging platform 104 is a niche 131 for mounting the handle 89 RUS. In it, the lower end of the handle 89 is fixed with the clamp bar 132 and a screw with a nut (not shown).

The handle 89 RUS is made in the form of a polymer pipe, bent in two places so that the user's chair does not interfere with his maximum deviation to the “to himself” position. All currently available game manipulators for controlling a virtual airplane are desktop and, due to the low height of the levers, have a low amplitude of their deflection, which results in insufficient accuracy in controlling the airplane, expressed in an increase in the number of control movements, for example, when aiming, or when landing. The full-sized airplane control stick 89, mounted on pedals 1, with the same deviation angle (± 15 °) as the joysticks, allows you to expand the control range, which makes the result of the control movement more predictable. In addition, pedals 1 with RUS 89 installed on them form a single steering plane control system, which when used adds the feeling of being in the airplane cabin and enhances the functionality of the power device and increases its realism. Installed on the pedals 1 RUS 89 takes up little space, because oriented vertically (see Fig.7).

On top, handle 89 (see FIGS. 12, 13) ends with handle 95, made in the form of a ring with straight lateral and upper sections (or another shape, for example, in the form of an ellipse elongated vertically), stylized as the RUS of Soviet fighter and attack aircraft times of the Second World War and made of the same material as the handle 89. At the junction of the handle 89 and the handle 95 of the Y-shaped box is inserted 133, in the three walls of which there are corresponding cutouts. At the front, the box 133 is fixed by a lid 134. At the rear, the axis 135 passes through the side walls of the box 133, on which three levers 136, 137 are mounted, separated by axles with bushings (not shown) and long shoulders facing out: two levers 136 are located inside the handle ring 95 РУС , the third 137 is tilted back. Two levers 136 of the weapon buttons are flat, made of different lengths so that their pressure pads 138 bent inwards at an angle of 90 ° are located one above the other in the plane of the handle 95 RUS. The short shoulder of both levers 136 is the same, ends inside the box 133 with a pressure shelf 139, which, when turning, presses the rod of the microswitch 140, and a spike 141, on which the spring 142 is mounted, abutting against the surface of the partition 143 fixed inside the box 133 through the holes in which passes the rods of three microswitches 140. When you press the thumb of the right or left hand on one of the pads 138, the lever 136 rotates around axis 135, and pressing the rod of the corresponding microswitch 140 fires a weapon. The third lever 137 controls the wheel brake of a virtual airplane and has a stiffener for reinforcement, because can be pressed with a few fingers. Its short shoulder moves in a groove located on the lower surface of the box 133, which does not allow the lever 137 to deviate from the plane of its rotation. Pressing the button of the microswitch 140 of the lever 137 is performed by a spring 144, which, having reached the area of the cap 145 of the rod of the microswitch 140, first closes its circuit, and after the back of the cap 145 contacts the partition 143, it begins to compress to create a sensation of resistance of the lever, which increases the realistic control of the lever the brakes. The brake lever 137 with any deviation of the RUS under the influence of the gravity of the long arm is in a deviated position. On the upper section of the handle of the RUS 95 placed bracket 146 with two buttons of the weapon 147, and under it a view pointer 90.

A pointer of type 90 was created on the basis of a standard optical mouse, and it was necessary to replace a flat surface capable of reflecting the light emitted by the LED of the mouse along which the mouse should be moved, with an object that, with the same reflectivity, would always be in the same place and which could It would be controlled with one finger without taking your hand off the handle of the RUS 95. This object was a hollow sphere 148, which can be made of a transparent polymer (for example, polystyrene or organic glass), matte inside the trailing surface of which is separated from the concentrating lens of the photodetector of the optical mouse at a distance determined by the wall thickness of the sphere 148 (for example, 3 mm) and providing focusing of light on the photodetector. The light emitted by the mouse LED, passing through the outer transparent layer of the material, is first reflected from the inner matte surface, and then, at a different angle, from the outer surface, and so, repeatedly reflected from both surfaces, a large area of the sphere’s surface is illuminated, which means the reflected light is guaranteed to fall into the photodetector, which, when the sphere rotates, perceives this as moving on a flat surface. The modified printed circuit board of the optical mouse is placed in a plastic casing 149, to which a hemispherical niche 150 is attached to the side of the scattering lens of the emitter and the concentrating lens of the photodetector 150, with a flange 151 in which three microswitches 152 are placed, conductors connected to the board (not shown). At the base of the niche 150 and the housing cover 149, there is an opening underneath for the emitter and photodetector. The sphere 148, enclosed in a niche 150, is centered and held in it by a cover 153, made in the form of a truncated sphere to access the surface of the sphere 148 on the flange 154. The buttons of the microswitches 152 are located just above the sphere 148, one on the right and two on the left, which, like mouse buttons can be programmed in the game for commands related to navigation (calling on the map screen) and controlling the gaze, for example: the right one for the team is “look ahead”, while turning the sphere and inspecting the “back hemisphere” on the monitor screen, you can quickly back to look forward d "by moving the thumb from the scope of the button. By rotating the sphere 148, it is possible to achieve not only the desired view that would remain on the screen until the new movement of the sphere 148, but also, if you wish, quickly inspect any available place for this on the screen. This design combines compactness and ease of location of an 8-position view switch (hat), with pointing accuracy and speed of movement of a computer mouse, which solves the problem of insufficient environmental control in the game.

The indicator of type 90 is mounted in a special niche on the horizontal section of the handle of the RUS 95, with a slight tilt relative to the plane of the handle of the RUS 95, providing the convenience of controlling the pointer of the type 90 with the maximum tilt of the RUS to the “toward you” position. Pointer type 90 is connected to the PC as a mouse, using a separate USB cable.

When using a device with RUS, in order to increase the convenience of users during the game, it is better to attach the ORE 3 to a computer chair using a bracket specially designed for this purpose. The bracket 92 is intended for fastening the throttle 3 to the computer chair 93 instead of the armrest to the right or left of the user. This ensures the convenience of users when playing without having to purchase a special seat for the flight simulator.

The bracket 92 has a tubular body (see Fig. 14), divided into two parts, made in the form of glasses 155, 156 with the possibility of their rotation relative to each other and with automatic fixation in a new position, which ensures the correct orientation of the body with the throttle 3 if right or left placing it. The bracket 92 on both sides has rotatable and automatically fixed in working and non-working positions (non-working when the bracket with or without throttle is deployed back along the side of the seat, and the throttle is located behind the back of the chair) platforms: for connecting to the throttle platform 157 and for fixing the bracket 92 to the seat 93 - the platform 158. For their fixation, ball clamps 159. are used. Each glass 155 and 156 has a bottom 160 with its own set of holes. In the cup 155 there is a cover 161 holding and centering the spring 162 along its outer diameter on the bolt 163, the other end of the spring abuts against the bottom 160. When the bolt 163 is screwed into the bottom of the other cup 156, the compression of the spring 162 increases, and hence the compression force of the cups by the bottoms . From the side of the cup 156, two steel balls 164 are inserted into the corresponding holes, which are held in them by means of a steel washer 165, mounted on the protruding threaded end of the bolt 163 and a nut 166 fixed on it. This washer 165 partially extrudes the balls 164 into the plane of the cup connector, and if under them at this moment there is one of two pairs of bottom openings of the other glass, then they partially sink into them, thus fixing the glasses relative to each other. Likewise, the bracket 92 is locked in a different position. The same cylindrical inserts 167 are placed inside both cups 155 and 156, made for example of caprolon, the slot in which is aligned with the slots in the walls of the cups. The insert 167 has a blind hole in the depth of the slot and perpendicular to it, in which the ball retainer 159. the fixation of the device ORE 3, both with bent sections, made with different sets of holes, providing the fixation of the body with ORE 3 as in the working position, which allows you to orient the body with ORE 3 in the best way from the point of view of ergonomics during the game, t and to the completion of work with him after the game without dismantling.

When using a power device according to the second independent claim, to improve user access to the keyboard, to which most teams are assigned in the game, the product can be equipped with two identical specially designed clamps of the original design (not shown) that allow the PC keyboard to be installed almost frontally to the virtual pilot, with a slight slope above him. Clamps are attached from the end to the horizontal surface of the table, have shelves fixed with screws (where the keyboard is inserted), for height adjustment, capture and fixation of the keyboard they are equipped with extendable rods bent from above. There is another option for using clamps, when both clamps pivotally connected by a special bracket, made with the possibility of a fracture in its middle part, are a platform for attaching a “cockpit” - an aircraft dashboard, consisting of two parts in order to reduce its size during transportation, stylized under the cockpit of the aircraft and equipped with controls such as toggle switches, potentiometers, switches, etc., which are programmed in the game to the appropriate commands, usually assigned to the keyboard.

The implementation of each pedal with a movable brake pad that rotates around the trunnions within the cutouts in the cheeks of the arc, made with lateral bent upward collars and resting on the spring with its free end, enhances the device’s functionality, ease of use during the game and prevents injury to the user's foot.

The implementation of the swivel beam of the L-shaped section mounted on a support bearing mounted in a support plate and having an ear for connecting to the exhaust rod of the return cylinder of the power cylinder provides improved control accuracy of a virtual aircraft and manufacturability.

The implementation of the base plate in the form of a T-shaped base with stiffeners, on the console of the cross member of which there is an ear for attaching the power cylinder of the return mechanism, provides the convenience of using the pedals during the game, the plate is a limiter when setting the pedals under the table and prevents its damage.

The implementation of the pedal deviation sensor in the form of a potentiometer, the body of which is fixed in a platform mounted on a thrust to the right or left of the axis of rotation, a leash is mounted on the shaft of the potentiometer, mated with a bracket rod fixed to the fixed axis of rotation of the thrust, which improves the accuracy of control of a virtual airplane.

The claimed design of the throttle device provides enhanced functionality of the power device with increased realism, as well as the convenience of using them during the game and increasing the accuracy of control of a virtual airplane.

The implementation of the fixation unit at the base of the throttle case ensures the convenience of using the throttle device during the game by attaching it with a clamp to the table in the 1st embodiment, and the possibility of fastening the throttle bracket to any standard computer chair instead of one of the side armrests in the second embodiment.

The claimed design of the RUS provides the expansion of the functionality of the power device with increasing realism, ease of use during the game.

The use of the invention according to the first embodiment (the first independent claim) is carried out similarly to the use of the closest analogue: pedals 1 are installed under the table 169, the throttle 3 is clamped 170 to the table, the connection to the computer is via a joystick (not shown).

The use of the invention according to the second embodiment (the second independent claim) is as follows.

RUS 89 is mounted on the basis of 7 pedals 1 (see Fig.11). At the same time, to provide access to the keyboard (see Fig. 6), two clamps 170 of the original design are mounted on the table 169, fixed on the edge of the table with one movement, allowing the keyboard to be placed almost frontally with a slight tilt for the convenience of the user. When attaching device 3 to a computer chair 93, one of the armrests is removed on it and a bracket 92 is mounted in its place, onto which the throttle device 3 is then mounted on the socket of the connector of the fixing unit 84 until it is fixed with a ball lock 87. In the switching box and switching modes of 2 pedals 1 RUS 89 and the RUD 3 device are connected using the corresponding cords with connectors, which is connected directly to the PC via the USB controller 94. Using the mode switches of box 2, device 3 is configured for single-motor mode (one handle is gas, the other is the propeller pitch), twin-engine or multi-motor modes (control all engines simultaneously).

The user-player, sitting in a computer chair 93 and putting his feet on the pedals 1, has the ability to control the rudder, pushing the right or left foot forward, and pressing the brake pads 9 of the right or left pedal 8 when taxiing - make the aircraft turn almost in place. If the throttle body 3 is installed on the left, then the handles 4-6 are located at three levels due to the lifting of the throttle block relative to the body and the bent control handle of the chassis 5, while all the handles are equally accessible to the user. The throttle control unit 3, for ease of access to and manipulation of the handles 4-6, rises if its body is attached to the left of the user, and lowers if it is to the right. Handles 4-6 RUD 3 can be controlled separately by two engines in two motor aircraft, one engine and a propeller pitch in single-engine and left-hand groups and right separately in multi-engine. The flaps control handle 4 can be used to change their positions sequentially: removed-combat position-take-off-landing and in the reverse sequence, or you can choose the desired angle of release at the moment if the action is assigned to the corresponding axis. The handle 5 can only be in two positions: the chassis is released - the handle is in a position away from itself, and retracted - on itself. At the end of the game, the throttle 3 can be disconnected from the pedals 1 and, together with the bracket 92, can be turned back behind the back without removing the device from the seat 93. The player can hold the ring-shaped handle 95 RUS with both hands, while controlling the trigger, buttons 147 and a pointer 90, without taking your hands off the handle 95 with the thumbs, or with one hand, while the other can lie, for example, on the handles 4-6 ORE. Pressing the lever of the hand brake 137 produces simultaneous braking of both wheels of the chassis. The handle 89 RUS has a large amplitude of movement and allows you to perform even slight deviations, which in the case of controlling the aircraft using the joystick would be invisible. When the handle 89 RUS is deflected to the “on itself” position, it exerts resistance, and when the RUS is released, the handle 89 itself goes into the dive position, which was observed on most aircraft of the war. When RUS 89 is rejected, the player lifts his nose at the player, and when he deviates the other way, he lowers it. When RUS 89 is tilted to the right, the plane will roll to the right, if the handle is left in this position, the plane will begin to rotate around its longitudinal axis. The same thing happens when RUS 89 is tilted to the left.
