Definitions
- the invention relates to the control interfaces of a system, real or virtual, which provide a feedback, for example information representative of a resistance effort encountered by the system (force feedback) or a other information relating to this system.
- a feedback for example information representative of a resistance effort encountered by the system (force feedback) or a other information relating to this system.
- An interface of this type is called a haptic interface.
- the invention relates to an interface for controlling a haptic system
- a haptic system comprising a base, a platform spaced from the base, at least two cables each having a first end attached to the platform and a second end connected to a pulling actuator capable of exerting traction on the cable, pushing means mounted on the base via a hinge and comprising a push rod having a first end in contact with the platform and a second end connected to a pushing actuator which pushes the push rod towards the platform, the actuators exerting on the platform representative forces of information relating to the system.
- Platforms are known arranged between two bases to which they are connected by cables.
- a haptic interface comprising an active part constituting a handle intended to be handled by an operator and in which is mounted a motion sensor for controlling a system and one or more pieces of Feedback mounted on the active and mobile part in relation to it.
- the operator receives feedback in part of his hand.
- Such a system does not use the Stewart platform principle. Indeed, the actuators of the cables used to transmit the feedback to the platform are not used to control the system. On the contrary, a separate motion sensor is used. The travel of the platform is very small given the small dimensions of the handle. In addition, the actuators of the cables of the platform are not mounted on the fixed part, constituting a base, but on a remote support connected to the handle by sliding cables. in sheaths. This results in friction efforts that are inadmissible given the weakness of the forces involved.
- US 4, 666, 362 is a manipulator comprising a base and a platform spaced from the base for attaching a tool or the like. Cables connect the base to the platform. A central mast takes up the traction force exerted on the cables by engines mounted on the base. Such a device does not constitute a haptic interface. Indeed it does not allow to control a system, nor to receive feedback of this system. The efforts to be transmitted in an application of this type are much more important than in a haptic interface. The cable transmission technique is therefore not suitable.
- the subject of the invention is an active interface which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art. It should increase the controllable working space of conventional cable platforms and the operator's entry of the platform without interference with the cables. In addition, it must be of a simple embodiment in order to be manufactured at a low cost. Finally, it must optimize the rotational movement.
- the platform constitutes a control organ.
- the interface of the invention retains the advantages of simplicity and low inertia and, consequently, wide bandwidth of the platforms from Stewart.
- the actuators whether actuators pulling cables or actuator pushing the push rod, transmit both the control signal to the system and the feedback of this system.
- the controllable working space is extended beyond the fixing points of the cables on the base.
- each actuator comprises a sensor capable of delivering a signal representative of the length of the cable which is fixed thereto and the thrust means comprise a sensor capable of delivering a signal representative of the distance between the end of the rod of thrust in contact with the platform and their articulation on the base, all of these signals being used to control the system.
- the pushing actuator is constituted by a pulling actuator which exerts traction on a cable and by a movement inversion mechanism which transforms the traction of the cable into a thrust force on the thrust rod.
- the same technology can be used for all actuators, whether they are the cable actuators or the thrust rod actuator.
- the cable actuators guarantee low cost and low inertia of the transmission system.
- the motion reversal mechanism comprises a muffle. The muffle reduces the required torque of the thrust rod actuator.
- the movement reversal mechanism is housed in a jack.
- the thrust rod actuator can be mounted on this jack or it can be mounted on the base.
- the actuator of the push rod is placed below the articulation of the thrust means.
- This arrangement allows static balancing of the thrust means by a distribution of masses on either side of the joint.
- the thrust means are articulated on the platform by means of a cardan.
- the push rod has a longitudinal axis which is substantially concurrent in the center of the gimbal. More preferably, the end of the push rod is in contact with the platform and articulated on the latter by means of a ball joint.
- the platform is advantageously made so that its center is coincident with the center of the patella so that the grip of the hand of an operator is in the center of the patella.
- the interface of the invention can have six degrees of freedom.
- it comprises six cables which are advantageously divided into three pairs of cables fixed two by two at the ends of a triangle on the platform.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a haptic interface according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view, similar to Figure 1, the interface being shown in a different position.
- FIG. 3 to 6 illustrate four different embodiments of the thrust means
- - Figure 7 is a schematic sectional view of an embodiment of the thrust means comprising springs on the cables.
- the haptic interface shown in Figures 1 and 2 comprises a base designated by the general reference 2.
- the base consists of a rectangular frame having two long sides 4 and two short sides 6.
- Horizontal arms referenced respectively 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 are attached to the rectangular frame.
- Each of these arms is pierced with a through hole 22 constituting a cable guide.
- an arm 20 attached to one of the long side 4, of shorter than the other six arms protrudes into the frame. It is pierced with a through hole 23 constituting a cable guide.
- the interface comprises a platform 24.
- the platform 24 has the shape of a sphere but it goes without saying that this embodiment is not imperative and that other shapes are also conceivable.
- Rods 26 are attached to the sphere 24.
- Two cables 32 are attached to the end 30 of each of the rods 26 (only two cables have been shown in Figures 1 and 2 for the sake of simplicity).
- the cables 32 pass through the passage holes 22 at the ends of the arms 8 to 18 and wind on a pulley 34 of an actuator 36 driven by an electric motor.
- Each actuator is provided with a sensor shown schematically by the rectangle 38 in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- Each cable makes it possible to measure the position of the axis of the motor and thus to deduce the length of the cable.
- the sphere 24 is articulated to the end of a push rod 40 by a ball joint 42.
- the center of the ball 42 coincides with the center of the sphere 24.
- a rotation of the platform 24 results in a minimal displacement of the end of the rods 26 and therefore of each of the six cables 32.
- the decision of the The hand of an operator who actuates the platform 24 is thus in the center of the articulation of the platform on the ball 42.
- the rigid push rod 40 is connected to a pushing actuator whose function is to balance the pulling force exerted by the six actuators pulling 36 on the platform. 24 through each of the six cables 32.
- a Stewart platform with n degrees of freedom has n + 1 cables.
- a platform with six degrees of freedom has seven cables. Since the cables can only transmit a pulling force, the controllable workspace, ie the volume in which an arbitrary effort torsor can be generated on the platform, is limited to polyhedral volume passing through the attachment points of the cables on the base.
- the pushing actuator can be realized in many different ways. It can be a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder or a ball screw. In the exemplary embodiment shown, it consists of a pulling actuator 44 and a movement reversal mechanism.
- the movement reversal mechanism is constituted by a bracket 48 articulated on the base 2 by means of a cardan.
- the lower end of the stem pivots about an axis XX with respect to a structure 50 in the shape of a large U itself pivotally mounted about an axis YY on one of the long sides 4 of the base 2.
- the axes XX and YY which are perpendicular to each other, intersect at the center of the cable guide hole 23 of the arm 20.
- Two parallel sliding rods 52 are slidably mounted to the upper end of the stem 48. At their lower ends, the two sliding rods 52 carry an axis 53 on which is mounted a pulley 54.
- the two rods 52 are connected by a cross member 56.
- a cable 58 is wound at its lower end on a pulley (not visible in Figures 1 and 2) of the actuator 44.
- the cable 58 passes in the cable guide 23 of the arm 20, then on a first pulley 60 mounted at the top of the gallows, then on the second pulley 54 mounted on the axis 53 connecting the two lower ends of the sliding rods 52. Finally one end of the cable 58 is fixed to the upper part of the bracket 48.
- FIG. 2 shows another position of the haptic interface of FIG. 1.
- the platform 24 has been displaced with respect to the position it occupies in FIG. U-shaped 50 rotated around its axis YY articulation and that on the other hand, the bracket 48 has pivoted about its hinge axis XX on the support 50.
- the platform 24 has rotated about its axis of rotation ZZ constituted by the rod thrust 40 (see Figure 3).
- the two guide rods 52 have been moved upwards.
- the lengths of the cables 32 connecting the ends 30 of the rods 26 to the orifices 22 of the arms 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 have varied.
- the sensors 38 associated with each of the peripheral actuators 36 and the central actuator 44 record the different variations of the cables and transmit a magnitude representative of these variations to a calculator which calculates the new position of the platform 24. This new position allows to order a real or virtual system.
- the actuators 36 and the central actuator 44 receive information. This information can be a feedback of effort encountered by the system or other information. This feedback is used by the actuators 36 in order to exert traction on the cables 32 and 58 so as to make the operator, whose hand is placed on the platform 24, a representative sensation of the effort encountered.
- a haptic cable interface has thus been realized with a parallel structure, in which the platform 24 constitutes both the control member and the member through which the feedback is carried out.
- This interface has a low inertia because of the simplicity of the cable transmission mechanism, which gives it a wide bandwidth.
- cable transmission is well suited to an application of this type in which the efforts to be transmitted are low.
- FIGS. 3 to 6 show various alternative embodiments of the movement reversal means and the attachment of the actuator 44 of the push rod 40.
- the movement reversal means consist of simply by a return pulley 60 of the cable 58 whose end 65 is fixed to the lower portion 67 of the push rod 40.
- the upper end 69 of the push rod 40 is integral with a ball joint 42 on which is articulated platform 24.
- the platform 24 is constituted such that the center of the grip of an operator's hand coincides with the center of the ball 42 in this manner, the interface minimizes the movement of the cables when the platform is rotated relative to the ball 42.
- the pulley 60 is mounted on the inner wall of a cylinder 70 which constitutes a cable jack.
- the push rod 40 slides on a Reach 72 of the cylinder 70.
- the actuator 44 of the push rod is mounted at the bottom of the cylinder.
- the lower end of the jack is hinged to the base 2 via a universal joint 74 shown schematically.
- the realization of this gimbal may be similar to that which has been described in Figures 1 and 2.
- the motion reversal means do not comprise muffle. Consequently, the actuator 44 must be powerful enough to balance without a reduction factor the tension exerted on the cables 32 by each of the other six pulling actuators 36.
- FIG. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the motion reversal means. They comprise a first pulley 60 mounted on an inner wall of the cylinder 70 and a second pulley 54 mounted on an axis perpendicular to the lower end 67 of the push rod 40. The end 77 of the cable 58 is fixed on an upper wall The actuator 44 is housed entirely within the cylinder 70. In addition, the lower end of the jack 70 is hinged to the base 2 by a universal joint 74 shown schematically, in the same manner as for the embodiment of FIG.
- the movement reversal means constitute a muffle which makes it possible to reduce the traction force required on the cable 68 by dividing by a factor 2. In this way, the power of the actuator 44 can be divided by two. On the other hand, for the same displacement in translation of the push rod 40, the actuator 44 must wind or unroll a length of double cables.
- FIG. 5 shows a third variant embodiment of motion reversal means. They comprise a large diameter pulley 80 mounted in the jack 70. Two pulleys 60 are fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder 70. A fourth pulley 54 is mounted at the lower end 67 of the push rod 40. The cable 58 of the pulling actuator 44 is connected to the axis of rotation of the large diameter pulley 80.
- the mechanism comprises a second closed cable 82 which passes respectively on the pulleys 80, 60 and 54.
- the actuator 44 is mounted at the lower end of the cylinder 70 but is located below the gimbal 74 by which the cylinder 70 is articulated on the base 2. As a result, the actuator 44 performs a static balancing of the thrust means . In this embodiment the masses are better balanced on either side of the axis of the hinge constituted by the universal joint 74, the mass of the actuator 44 partially balancing the mass of the rest of the thrust means.
- FIG. 6 a fourth embodiment of the thrust means.
- the actuator 44 is mounted on the base 2 instead of being fixed to the lower part of the jack 70, as in the modes of previous realization.
- the cable 58 of the actuator 44 passes over a pulley 60 secured to the inner wall of the cylinder 70 and on a pulley 54 mounted on an axis of rotation perpendicular to the lower end 67 of the push rod 40. muffle, comparable to that of the embodiments of Figures 4 and 5, which allows to divide by two the pulling force to exert on the cable 58.
- FIG. 7 an alternative embodiment of the thrust means of Figure 3. This variant is identical to that of Figure 3 at any point, with the exception of the presence of compression springs 92 mounted around cables 32 of the pulling actuators 36. Each coil spring 92 is caught between a lower bearing surface 94 integral with the base 2 and an upper bearing surface 96 integral with the platform 24. The presence of the springs 92, in balancing the tensile force exerted on the cables 32, reduces the force imposed on the central actuator 44. It also helps to materialize a central rest position.
