Abstract

The inventive power device for a joystick used for controlling a virtual aircraft in computer games comprises control sticks and pedals. The pedals which are provided with stirrups for fixing feet, are movably connected to rod cantilevers and are mounted on a pivotable beam, which is connected to a return mechanism and is movably fastened to a platform. The platform is provided with, mounted thereon, rods for the pedals and a rotatable bracket for a sensor, and is positioned on a supporting plate. Throttle and flap controls are carried out by means of two control handles. A flap control lever is mounted on a rocker which is embodied in the form of a double-arm lever and is connected to the plate of microswithes by means of a spring-type hinged mechanism. The throttle lever is mounted on a support axis and on the axis of a travel stop together with a mechanism for taking up the backlash and is connected to a throttle sensor by means of a pinion carrier. Said invention makes it possible to simulate at home the physical sensation of actually controlling a virtual aircraft in such a way that it is close to real aircraft control.

Description

Силовое устройство к джойстику для управления виртуальным самолетом Joystick power device for controlling a virtual airplane
Полезная модель относится к устройствам ввода команд в ПК, а именно, к дополнительным устройствам управления виртуальным полетом виртуального самолета и может найти применение в компьютерных играх.The utility model relates to command input devices in a PC, namely, to additional virtual flight virtual flight control devices of a virtual airplane and can be used in computer games.
Известны различные джойстики для авиасимуляторов, имеющиеся в продаже и выпускаемые фирмами Sаitеk и ТhгаstМаstеr, представляющие собой платформу с одной ручкой управления, имеющей несколько программируемых кнопок, и контроллера тяги или газа (тролла), встроенного в ручку управления или вынесенного за его пределы в виде самостоятельного элемента (современная модель джойстика Тhrustmаstеr ТорGuп Аftеrburпеr). Этот джойстик обеспечивает плавное регулирование по трем осям, при этом четвертая ось регулирования полета виртуального самолета (так называемый руль направления, в реальности управляемый педалями) может управляться поворотом рукоятки вокруг своей оси. Такой вариант управления удобен, но не отражает реального процесса управления самолетом, так как не имеет педалей.There are various joysticks for flight simulators, commercially available and manufactured by Saitek and ThgastMaster, which are a platform with one control knob, which has several programmable buttons, and a traction or gas controller (troll) built into the control handle or moved outside it as an independent element (modern joystick model of Thrustmaster TorGup Аftеrburпер). This joystick provides smooth control in three axes, while the fourth axis of flight control of a virtual airplane (the so-called rudder, actually controlled by pedals) can be controlled by turning the handle around its axis. This control option is convenient, but does not reflect the real process of controlling the aircraft, since it does not have pedals.

Данное устройство также не обеспечивает полной реалистичности управления виртуальными моделями самолетов.A device is known “power joystick)) (application for the invention of the Russian Federation Zh2OOZ 130952 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, forming an environment of adjustable friction, and an additional optical mouse with electrical taps.

Наиболее близким к заявляемому является имеющийся в продаже игровой манипулятор Ноtаs Соugаr. Он состоит из двух платформ с ручками управления газом, форсажной камерой и холостого хода. В ручках смонтированы 28 программируемых кнопок и хэт-переключателей, при этом ручки выполнены полноразмерными с фиксаторами положений. Манипулятор подключается к USB- порту компьютера. Вес манипулятора порядка 9 кг, поэтому нет необходимости в креплении его к столу. Манипулятор на сегодняшний день является самым реалистичным манипулятором для авиасимуляторов и используется ВВС США для обучения пилотов. Но ручки манипулятора скопированы с истребителя F- 16, что создает неудобства при их обхвате небольшой по размерам ладонью и быстро наступает усталость рук, а также нет педалей ножного управления. Кроме того, манипулятор достаточно дорогой и недоступен многим пользователям компьютеров.Closest to the claimed is the commercially available gaming manipulator Notas Cougar. It consists of two platforms with gas control knobs, afterburner and idle. 28 programmable buttons and hat switches are mounted in the handles, while the handles are made full-sized with position locks. The manipulator is connected to the USB port of the computer. The weight of the manipulator is about 9 kg, so there is no need to mount it to the table. The manipulator is by far the most realistic manipulator for flight simulators and is used by the US Air Force to train pilots. But the handles of the manipulator are copied from the F-16 fighter, which creates inconvenience when they are wrapped around a small palm and fatigue of the hands quickly occurs, and there are no foot control pedals. In addition, the manipulator is quite expensive and inaccessible to many computer users.
В настоящее время нет разнообразия дополнительных игровых устройств к домашним компьютерам, оснащенными имеющимися в продаже джойстиками фирм Sаitеk и ТhrustМаstеr, позволяющих дома, а не в игровом центре, получить физические ощущения при управлении виртуальным самолетом.At present, there is no variety of additional gaming devices for home computers equipped with commercially available joysticks of Saitek and ThrustMaster companies that allow you to get physical sensations while operating a virtual airplane at home, and not in the game center.
Заявляемое силовое устройство, как и известные, состоит из двух частей с платформами, на одной из которых выполнены ручки управления.The inventive power device, as well as known, consists of two parts with platforms, on one of which control knobs are made.
Задача, решаемая данной полезной моделью, заключалась в создании дополнительного игрового силового устройства для управления виртуальным самолетом как в домашних условиях, так и в игровых клубах.The problem solved by this utility model was to create an additional gaming power device for controlling a virtual airplane both at home and in gaming clubs.
Техническим результатом изобретения является создание простого по конструкции силового устройства, обеспечивающего физические ощущения реалистичности управления виртуальным самолетом, приближенного к управлению реальным самолетом.The technical result of the invention is the creation of a simple design power device that provides a physical sensation of realistic control of a virtual airplane, close to controlling a real airplane.
Данный технический результат достигается тем, что управление рулем направления осуществляется педалями, выполненными с дугами для фиксации ног, подвижно соединенными с консолями тяги и установленными на поворотной балке, соединенной с возвратным механизмом и подвижно закрепленной на платформе со смонтированными на ней тягой педалей и кронштейном датчика и установленной на опорной плите. Кронштейн выполнен с возможностью его поворота для регулировки датчика. Управление газом и управление закрылками осуществляется двумя ручками управления, соединенными с рычагами, выполненными с возможностью поворота относительно оси их крепления и с ограничителями перемещения, причем рычаг управления закрылками установлен на коромысле, выполненном в виде двуплечего рычага и соединенном пружинно-шарнирными механизмами с ограничителями с пластиной микровыключателей. Рычаг газа установлен на оси крепления и оси органичителя перемещения с механизмами устранения люфта и соединен поводком с датчиком газа. Платформа ручек управления выполнена в виде корпуса со струбциной, интегрированной в корпус в виде неравнобокого горизонтального выреза с винтом, заканчивающимся маховиком, и прижимной площадкой.This technical result is achieved by the fact that the rudder is controlled by pedals made with 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 pedals mounted on it and a sensor bracket and mounted on a 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. Throttle lever mounted on the axis of attachment and the axis of the organizer of movement with mechanisms to eliminate play and is connected by a leash to the gas sensor. The platform of the control handles is made in the form of a housing with a clamp integrated into the housing in the form of an unequal horizontal cut-out with a screw ending with a flywheel and a pressure pad.
Возвратный механизм может быть выполнен в виде цилиндра со съемным колпаком, через отверстие в котором проходит шток, один конец которого соединен с поворотной балкой педалей, а второй с поршнем, по обеим сторонам которого со сжатием установлены пружины, при этом поршень изготовлен из антифрикционного материала. Поворотная балка может иметь Т-образное сечение и ряд отверстий для уменьшения ее веса и установлена на упорном подшипнике, смонтированном на платформе. Педаль может состоять из опорной поверхности и основания с осью для установки в консоли балки, с которым соединены нижние концы дуги для фиксации ноги, при этом основание посредством механизма позиционирования подвижно установлено на консоли тяги педалей. Тяга педалей может иметь несколько отверстий по обеим сторонам от оси поворота тяги для тонкой регулировки реакции связанного с тягой датчика на отклонение педалей путем перестановки П-образной скобы. Платформа может крепиться к опорной плите посредством тумбы в виде пустотелого цилиндра, соосно с которым на внутренней поверхности плиты размещен усилитель жесткости.The return mechanism can be made in the form of a cylinder with a removable cap, through the hole in which the rod passes, one end of which is connected to the rotary beam of the pedals, and the second to the piston, springs are installed on both sides of it with compression, while the piston is made of antifriction material. The pivot beam may have a T-section and a series of holes to reduce its weight and is mounted on a thrust bearing mounted on the platform. The pedal may consist of a supporting surface and a base with an axis for installation in the console of the beam, to which the lower ends of the arc are connected to fix the legs, while the base is movably mounted on the console of the pedal thrust console. The thrust of the pedals may have several holes on both sides of the axis of rotation of the thrust for fine adjustment of the reaction associated with the thrust of the sensor to the deflection of the pedals by rearranging the U-shaped bracket. The platform can be attached to the base plate by means of a curbstone in the form of a hollow cylinder, coaxially with which a stiffener is placed on the inner surface of the plate.

На нижней поверхности основания педали 16 на противоположной от фронта стороне закреплено ухо механизма позиционирования педали 18, плоскость симметрии которого пересекается с осью вращения педали 1. Уши 18 обеих педалей 1 подвижно соединены с консолями тяги 6, которая, в свою очередь, (см. фиг. 3) соединена с платформой 5 с помощью оси поворота тяги 19. Вертикальная плоскость, проходящая через ось поворота тяги 19 и ось вращения 20 балки 3, перпендикулярна фронту и при любом отклонении педалей 1 параллельна плоскостям симметрии последних, что обеспечивает продольно-поступательное перемещение педалей 1. На тяге педалей 6 выполнен ряд отверстий 21 для тонкой регулировки реакции датчика 8 на отклонение педалей 1 с помощью тяги 22, выполненной в виде П-образной скобы. Отверстия 21 расположены по обеим сторонам от оси 19 для возможной инвертации ввода соответствующей команды.The pedal 1 consists of a supporting surface 15 and the base 16, while the supporting surface 15 is fixed between the cheeks of the arc 2 with an inclination towards the front, and its front curved end is connected to the front end of the base 16, forming a rigid structure. The lower ends of the arc 2 are connected to the base 16. At the base of the pedal 16 there is a hole in which the axis of the pedal 17 is fixed, which is a rod, in the upper part of which a shoulder is made. The burt is made with a diameter equal to the diameter of the sleeve 18, in which the axis of the pedal 17 is locked using a set of cotter pin or lock ring (not shown). On the lower surface of the base of the pedal 16, on the opposite side from the front, an ear of the positioning mechanism is fixed pedal 18, the plane of symmetry of which intersects with the axis of rotation of pedal 1. The ears 18 of both pedals 1 are movably connected to the arms of the rod 6, which, in turn (see Fig. 3) is connected to the platform 5 using the axis of rotation of the rod 19. Vertical the plane passing through the axis of rotation of the rod 19 and the axis of rotation 20 of the beam 3 is perpendicular to the front and for any deviation of the pedals 1 parallel to the planes of symmetry of the latter, which provides longitudinal-translational movement of the pedals 1. A number of holes 21 are made on the pedal pedal 6 for fine adjustment of the action of the sensor 8 on the deviation of the pedals 1 using the thrust 22, made in the form of a U-shaped bracket. Holes 21 are located on both sides of the axis 19 for possible inversion of the input of the corresponding command.

The sensor 8 is connected to the thrust of the pedals 6 using the thrust 22, rearranging which you can change the size of the shoulder of the sensor, and, accordingly, the reaction of the sensor to the deviation of the pedals.
Возвратный механизм 4, то есть механизм возврата педалей в исходное положение (см. фиг. 4) состоит из цилиндра 24, закрытый торец которого выполнен с ухом крепления 25 к опорной плите 10. Второй торец цилиндра 24 закрывается съемным колпаком 26, через отверстие в котором проходит штoк27, соединенный с поршнем 28. Поршень 28 может быть выполнен цельным, изготовленным из достаточно прочного антифрикционного материала (например, капролона или фторопласта), или составным. В последнем случае поршень 28 состоит из диска 29, контактирующего с внутренней поверхностью цилиндра 24, и двух тарелок 30, выполненных, например, из стали, с кольцевыми пазами для центровки пружин 31 и 32. Аналогичными центрирующими элементами, выполненными в виде вставок, снабжены цилиндр 24 и крышка 26 (центровка пружин 31 и 32 исключает их контакт с внутренней поверхностью цилиндра 24, что уменьшает трение в механизме). Тарелки 30 имеют резьбовые отверстия для крепления их на штоке 27 и зафиксированы контргайками (на чертеже не показано). По обоим сторонам поршня 28 установлены с небольшим сжатием одинаковые пружины 31 и 32, возвращающие шток 27 возвратного механизма 4, и связанную с ним поворотную балку 3 педалей в исходное положение после прекращения воздействия на педали отклоняющего усилия.The return mechanism 4, that is, the pedal return mechanism (see FIG. 4) consists of a cylinder 24, the closed end of which is made with the ear 25 attached to the base plate 10. The second end of the cylinder 24 is closed by a removable cap 26, through the hole in which the rod 27 connected to the piston 28 passes. The piston 28 can be made integral, made of a sufficiently strong antifriction material (for example, caprolon or fluoroplastic), or composite. In the latter case, the piston 28 consists of a disk 29 in contact with the inner surface of the cylinder 24, and two plates 30 made, for example, of steel, with annular grooves for centering the springs 31 and 32. The cylinder is equipped with similar centering elements in the form of inserts 24 and cover 26 (alignment of the springs 31 and 32 excludes their contact with the inner surface of the cylinder 24, which reduces friction in the mechanism). Plates 30 have threaded holes for mounting them on the stem 27 and are fixed with locknuts (not shown in the drawing). On both sides of the piston 28, identical springs 31 and 32 are installed with slight compression, returning the stem 27 of the return mechanism 4, and the associated rotary beam 3 pedals to their original position after the termination of the impact on the pedals of the deflecting force.
