Therefore, the user can provide tactile sensations in multiple directions and increase the realism of the virtual reality. a [Embodiment] 胄 Refer to Figure 1. The first ride shows the ❹-type force feedback device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The force feedback device 1 is a kind of feedback force generated by mechanical action such as linear force, vibration or rotation to provide a user's tactile sensation. In the present embodiment, the force feedback device 100 is provided with a link 11A, a grip 120 and a pair of actuators 130. The grip 12 is fixed to the connecting rod 11 以 for the user to grip. Actuators 130 are respectively fixed at the ends of the link no, and are used to generate a force orthogonal to the link 110 to act on the link 11 and conduct to the grip 120 to provide a tactile sensation to the user. At the same time, reference is made to Figs. 1 and 2, and Fig. 2 is an actuator 130 of the force feedback device 200950855 100. Each of the actuators 130 has a stator and a rotor fixed to the connecting rod 110 for generating a magnetic field change according to a user's command signal. The rotor rotates relative to the stator according to a change in the magnetic field. When the rotor rotates, a force is generated on the stator due to the reaction, and is transmitted to the grip 120 through the connecting rod 110. Specifically, the rotor is a magnet 134 having a housing 132 and a plurality of coils 136, the housing 132 is fixed to the connecting rod 110, and the turns 136 are disposed on the inner wall of the casing 132. The magnet 134 is accommodated in the casing 32 and is surrounded by the coil 136. When the force feedback device 1 receives the command signal from the user, the coil 136 generates a magnetic field change according to the command signal, thereby driving the magnet 134. The magnet 134 is rotated about the rotation axis about the housing 132 with its center as a rotation axis. At the same time, when the coil 130 is driven to rotate by the magnet 134, a reaction force acts on the coil 136 because of the relationship between the force and the reaction. According to Newton's third law of motion, the force and the reaction force are the forces that are the same size, opposite directions, and acting on different objects. When the magnet 134 is rotated in the reverse direction = direction 10, it indicates that the coil 136 should be rotated by a reaction force in a clockwise direction. However, since the coil is fixed to the casing 2 and the casing 132 is fixed to the connecting rod 11 , the reaction force will pass through the casing 32: to the connecting rod 11〇, and the direction of the reaction force is along the direction (1) S h UG axis direction. Wherein, the axial direction of the connecting rod 11 (3) passes through the direction of both ends of the connecting rod 110. The actuator 130 at one end of the straight t U〇 acts to produce the connecting rod no rain to the grip at the end of the connecting rod 110 In the case of 120, there will be a moment. Therefore, when the actuator 130 at both ends of the —1 is engaged to the action of the resultant torque, the grip 120 will be permeable to the force feedback device 100 during the wide movement. The action of the actuator 200950855 130 supplies the grip 12 to a moment of twisting, thereby giving the user a feeling of twisting. The magnitude of the force output by the actuator 13〇 at both ends of the link 110 is different, resulting in two grips 120 The resultant force and the combined torque are different in direction and size, so that the user can provide tactile sensations in different directions and strengths. In addition, the actuators 13 at both ends of the connecting rod 110 can also alternately act in turn, so that the ends of the connecting rod 110 The force is alternately generated according to the sequence. When the frequency of the alternating of the two forces is high, the user will feel the stimulation similar to the linear force. The flail 110 can be constructed of a rigid material or a non-rigid material. In the present embodiment, the link 110 Made of a flexible material. When the actuator 13 is actuated, 'the end of the link HO composed of the flexible material is deformed by the force generated by the actuator 130, for example, bent, so that the spatial position of the actuator 13 is relative to the grip 120. The position of the connection with the connecting rod 11 略 is slightly changed. In addition, the connecting rod 110 and the actuator 13 也 can also be connected through an elastic structure such as a spring piece or a spring. The force feedback device 100 further includes a damper 140 for Slowing down the rotation speed of the magnet 134 'avoids that the magnet 134 is always maintained at a high speed operation, and the ® is not easy to continue to accelerate to generate the feedback force. As described above, in the present embodiment, the link 110 is composed of a flexible material, and Displacement occurs when the actuator 130 is actuated. Therefore, the damper 140 is a device for preventing acceleration that causes displacement of the actuator 130. In the present embodiment, the damper 140 is a plurality of induction coils surrounding the magnet 134. When the magnet 134 rotates, the magnetic field in the space changes, and the induction coil induces electricity generation to generate an induced electromotive force. According to the principle of conservation of energy, the electric energy generated by the induction coil is The kinetic energy of the magnet 134. In other words, the rotation speed of the magnet 134 will be decelerated by the electromagnetic induction of the induction coil, and the electric energy generated by the induction coil is also recovered by the setting of the feedback circuit (not shown). Specifically, the feedback circuit electrically connects the coil 136 and the induction coil to supply the recovered induced electromotive force to the coil. Alternatively, the damper 140 may be completed by using fluid damping. Specifically, 'will have a high viscous coefficient. A fluid, such as oil, is filled in the housing 132 and the magnet 134 is immersed in the fluid. It is well known to those skilled in the art that when the magnet 134 is still rotating, the resistance generated by the fluid will be related to speed or speed. The square is proportional, so the speed can be effectively reduced. Alternatively, the damper 140 can be a device for preventing or reducing the relative movement of the actuator 130 and the link 11 。. As described above, when the link 11 组成 composed of the slidable material is bent by the action of the actuator 13 ,, the position of the actuator 130 with respect to the link 11 略 slightly changes, that is, the actuator and the link no will Produce displacement. The damper 14A can be coupled between the actuator 13A and the link 11G for reducing the relative displacement between the actuator 130 and the link 11A when the actuator no acts. Specifically, the damper wo can be installed at a position where the link 11 is bendable. Please refer to FIG. 3, which illustrates a force feedback device 100 in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. As described above, when the actuator 13 is actuated, the actuator 130 generates a force orthogonal to the connecting rod 11 会对 in the direction of the connecting rod 11 , wherein the actuator 130 is a motor, and the type thereof may be Electromagnetic motor, piezoelectric motor or ultrasonic motor. On the other hand, a linear actuator 13 也 can also be utilized as a source of force generation. Referring to Figures 4 and 5, FIG. 4 is a view showing a force feedback device 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the actuator 130 thereof.
