Description

Beschreibung:Description:

Digitale Kreuzsteuerung, insbesondere zur Verwendung in Joysticks oder Joypads.Digital cross control, especially for use in joysticks or joypads.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Digitale Kreuzsteuerungen üblicher Bauart, weisen entweder einen Plastikkörper auf, der Feder- oder Mikroschalter runter- oder reindrückt, und dadurch einen Kontakt schließt, oder eine Metallachse, mit der Mikroschalter reingedrückt werden. Damit muß aber bei jeder Bewegung des Steuerknüppels entweder die Schaltfeder oder der Widerstand des Mikroschalters (diagonal sogar der doppelte Widerstand!) überwunden werden. Meistens sogar zusätzlich noch der Widerstand der Rückholvorrichtung.Digital joysticks of the usual design either have a plastic body that pushes a spring or microswitch down or in, thereby closing a contact, or a metal axis that pushes a microswitch in. However, with each movement of the joystick, either the switching spring or the resistance of the microswitch (diagonally, even twice the resistance!) must be overcome. In most cases, there is also the resistance of the return mechanism.

Problem:Problem:

Der im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, eine digitale Kreuzsteuerung zu schaffen, welche mit möglichst geringem Kraftaufwand, jedoch gleichzeitig genau schaltet und Komfort von Mikroschaltern bietet, und welche leicht zu reparieren ist (z.B. beim Ausfall von Mikroschaltern), d.h. einfach aufgebaut ist.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of creating a digital cross control which requires as little effort as possible, but at the same time switches precisely and offers the convenience of microswitches, and which is easy to repair (e.g. if microswitches fail), i.e. has a simple structure.

Erfindung:Invention:

Dieses Problem wird mit den Maßnahmen des Anspruchs 1 bis 5 gelöst.This problem is solved by the measures of claims 1 to 5.

Vorteilhafte Wirkung der Erfindung:Advantageous effect of the invention:

Durch die Erfindung (gemäß Anspruch 1) wird erreicht, daß zum Schalten nur noch der Widerstand der Rückholfeder (E) überwunden werden muß, und daß in jede Richtung die gleiche Kraft eingesetzt werden muß (auch in den Diagonalen!). Dadurch wird auch nicht die diagonale Richtungsangabe, wie bei üblichen digitalen Kreuzsteuerungen erschwert. Der Zusammenbau und die Reperatur werden durch den sehr einfachen Aufbau (ohne Konterklammern an der Steuerachse, ohne Kabel, welche durch den Steuerknüppel gezogen sind und ohne verschraubte Teile am Schaltteil des Steuerknüppels im Gehäuse) besonders unterstützt.The invention (according to claim 1) ensures that only the resistance of the return spring (E) has to be overcome to switch, and that the same force has to be used in every direction (even in the diagonals!). This also does not make it difficult to specify the diagonal direction, as is the case with conventional digital cross controls. Assembly and repair are particularly supported by the very simple structure (without counter clamps on the control axis, without cables that are pulled through the joystick, and without screwed parts on the switching part of the joystick in the housing).

Weiterbildungen der Erfindung:Further developments of the invention:

Alternative Möglichkeiten zur Weiterbildung oder Abänderung ein-Include alternative options for further training or modification

-A--A-

zelner Bereiche der Erfindung stehen in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 4.Individual areas of the invention are set out in claims 2 to 4.

Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 2 hat zur Folge, daß kein Staub oder Schmutz in das Gehäuseinnere eindringen kann. Bei Verwendung von weichem Gummi wird auch der mechanische Schaltwiderstand nicht erhöht.The further development according to claim 2 results in no dust or dirt being able to penetrate into the interior of the housing. When using soft rubber, the mechanical switching resistance is not increased either.

Die Abänderung nach Anspruch 3 hat zur Folge, daß das Schaltgeräusch gedämpft wird.The modification according to claim 3 results in the switching noise being damped.

Die Änderung nach Anspruch 4 ist etwas komplizierter einzubauen, hat jedoch den Vorteil, daß die Auflagefläche der Steuerknüppelhalterung geringer wird, wodurch die benötigte Kraft zur Steuerung nochmal herabgesetzt wird.The change according to claim 4 is somewhat more complicated to install, but has the advantage that the contact surface of the joystick holder is smaller, which further reduces the force required for control.

Die Änderung nach Anspruch 5 ist einfach nur für eine Verbilligung der Produktionskosten gut.The change according to claim 5 is simply good for reducing the production costs.

Die Abänderung nach Anspruch 6 vereinfacht den Zusammenbau der
Steuerung, hat jedoch den Nachteil, daß sie nicht so stabil ist wie die Stahlachse.The modification according to claim 6 simplifies the assembly of the
Control, but has the disadvantage that it is not as stable as the steel axle.

Claims (6)

-I--I- 1. Digitale Kreuzsteuerung mit vier Mikroswitches mit Metallzungen (die beim Drücken und beim Auslassen jeweils einen anderen Stromkreis schließen), welche kreuzförmig um die Steuerung angeordnet sind, um die vier Richtungen und die entsprechenden Diagonalen zu schalten,
dadurch gekennzeichnet,1. Digital cross control with four microswitches with metal tongues (which close a different circuit when pressed and released), arranged in a cross shape around the control to switch the four directions and the corresponding diagonals,
characterized, daß die Schalter so angeordnet sind, daß sie gedrückt sind (und somit nicht schalten), wenn sich der Plastikkörper (B) im Ruhezustand (Mittelstellung) befindet. Wird nun der Steuerknüppel (A) aus Stahl, welcher durch den Plastikkörper (B) gesteckt ist und im Boden mit einer Kugel am unteren Ende gelagert ist, in eine Kreuz-Richtung bewegt, so schaltet nur der Schalter (C) gegenüber (wo dann die Leitung für diese Richtung angelegt wird), da dieser ausgelassen wird. Dies geschieht dadurch, daß der Plastikkörper (der zugleich ein Rotationskörper ist) auf der Seite eine Rundung (H) aufweist, die dem Kreisbogen um den Drehmittelpunkt des Plastikkörpers = Mittelpunkt der Metallkugel des Steuerknüppels (A) entspricht. Diese Rundung beginnt genau auf Höhe des Mittelpunktes der Kugel und verläuft so weit nach oben, wie sie von den Mikroschaltern (C) aufgrund der Schalterbewegung berührt werden kann. Diese Rundung führt dadurch, daß der Abstand zum Mikroschalter (C) immer gleich bleibt (Kreisbogen), dazu, daß dieser Schalter im Ruhezustand und beim Bewegen der Steuerung in diese Richtung nicht ausgelassen wird, und dadurch nicht schaltet. Der Schalter auf der entgegengesetzten Seite schaltet jedoch schon, da die Rundung nach unten hin abflacht. Dadurch wird beim Bewegen der Abstand in Richtung Schalter (C) geringer, wodurch dieser ausgelassen wird und den Stromkreis schließt. Wird eine Diagonale angesteuert, schalten entsprechend zwei Schalter. Nach dem Schaltvorgang, welcher durch Verharren in der gewünschten Stellung aufrecht erhalten werden kann, führt eine Spiralfeder (E), welche sich zwischen Plastikkörper (B) und oberem Gehäuseteil (G) befindet, den Steuerknüppel (A/B/P) in die Mittelstellung zurück. Das Gehäuse weist oben eine so große Öffnung auf, das der Steuerknüppel genau so weit bewegt werden kann, daß die Schalter gerade schalten. Die Mikroswitches (C) müssen Metallzungen haben, da sie sonst das Zurückgleiten des Plastikkörpers (B) behindern. Damit der Steuerknüppel (A) mit dem Plastikkörper (B) nicht he-that the switches are arranged in such a way that they are pressed (and therefore do not switch) when the plastic body (B) is in the resting state (middle position). If the steel joystick (A), which is inserted through the plastic body (B) and is mounted in the ground with a ball at the lower end, is moved in a cross direction, only the switch (C) opposite (where the cable for this direction is then connected) switches, as this is omitted. This happens because the plastic body (which is also a rotating body) has a curve (H) on the side that corresponds to the arc of a circle around the center of rotation of the plastic body = center of the metal ball of the joystick (A). This curve starts exactly at the height of the center of the ball and runs as far upwards as it can be touched by the microswitches (C) due to the switch movement. This rounding means that the distance to the microswitch (C) always remains the same (circular arc), so that this switch is not released when the control is in the resting state and when the control is moved in this direction, and therefore does not switch. The switch on the opposite side does switch, however, because the rounding flattens out towards the bottom. As a result, the distance towards switch (C) is reduced when moving, which causes it to be released and closes the circuit. If a diagonal is activated, two switches switch accordingly. After the switching process, which can be maintained by remaining in the desired position, a spiral spring (E) located between the plastic body (B) and the upper part of the housing (G) returns the joystick (A/B/P) to the middle position. The housing has an opening at the top that is large enough that the joystick can be moved just far enough for the switches to switch. The microswitches (C) must have metal tongues, otherwise they will prevent the plastic body (B) from sliding back. To ensure that the joystick (A) does not come into contact with the plastic body (B), 91 OS91 OS rausgezogen werden kann (was zum Schalten von allen Schaltern (C) führen würde), weist der Plastikkörper (B) oben eine Rundung auf (ebenfalls im Kreisbogen zum Mittelpunkt der Kugel am unteren Ende des Stahlstiftes (A)), welche von einem Führungskranz, der am oberen Gehäusedeckel (G) befestigt ist, ganz leicht oder garnicht berührt wird. Der Kranz hat genau so einen Durchmesser, daß alle Schaltwege möglich sind, und befindet sich innerhalb der Feder (E). ^. can be pulled out (which would lead to switching of all switches (C)), the plastic body (B) has a rounded area at the top (also in a circular arc to the center of the ball at the lower end of the steel pin (A)), which is very lightly or not at all touched by a guide ring that is attached to the upper housing cover (G). The ring has a diameter exactly such that all switching paths are possible and is located inside the spring (E). ^. 2. Steuerung nach Anspruch 1,
dadurch gekannzeichnet,2. Control according to claim 1,
characterized by daß die obere Öffnung des Gehäuses (G) mit einer Gummi-Knautschabdeckung verschlossen ist (D). &ngr;that the upper opening of the housing (G) is closed with a rubber crumple cover (D). &ngr; 3. Steuerung nach Anspruch 1 oder 2,
dadurch gekennzeichnet,3. Control according to claim 1 or 2,
characterized, daß anstelle der Feder (E) ein Gummiring den Steuerknüppel in seine Ruheposition zurückbringt.that instead of the spring (E) a rubber ring returns the control stick to its rest position. 4. Steuerung nach Anspruch 1 bis 3»
dadurch gekennzeichnet,4. Control according to claims 1 to 3»
characterized, daß der Plastikkörper (B) nicht durch einen Kranz von oben gegen Herausziehen gesichert wird, sondern durch Einrasten der Kugel am unteren Ende des Steuerhebels (A/B/F) in eine entsprechende Vorrichtung im Gehäuseboden. ^that the plastic body (B) is not secured against being pulled out by a ring from above, but by the ball at the lower end of the control lever (A/B/F) engaging in a corresponding device in the housing base. ^ 5. Steuerung nach Anspruch 1 bis 4,
dadurch gekennzeichnet,5. Control according to claim 1 to 4,
characterized, daß die Mikroswitches durch Metallzungen-Schalter ersetzt werden. w that the microswitches are replaced by metal tongue switches. w 6. Steuerung nach Anspruch 1 bis 5»

characterized, daß die durchgesteckte Stahlachse, durch einen Plastikkörper (B) ersetzt wird, an dem der Steuerknüppel und die Kugel schon angebracht sind.that the steel axle is replaced by a plastic body (B) to which the control stick and the ball are already attached. 91 091 0
