Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'assistance électrique pour modifier la vitesse de déplacement d'un objet mobile en réponse à la demande de l'utilisateur. Lorsqu'un boîtier d'une armoire électrique suspendue (10) est déplacé, un microordinateur (82) tire une vitesse de rotation cible du niveau de la tension émise depuis le capteur de contrainte (72) prévu sur une partie de poignée et fait pivoter l'arbre de rotation d'un moteur (40) à la vitesse de rotation cible par contrôle de rétroaction. En conséquence, le bras de l'armoire électrique suspendue (10) est pivoté pour faire pivoter le boîtier. Ainsi, la baisse ou la hausse du boîtier par l'utilisateur est assistée. Si la charge nécessaire pour déplacer le boîtier est lourde (la charge du boîtier est lourde ou le boîtier est déplacé rapidement), la vitesse du mouvement du boîtier est élevée et la force d'assistance par le moteur (40) est forte. Par conséquent, en réponse à la demande de l'utilisateur, la vitesse de déplacement du boîtier peut être modifiée.
