Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hand-operated control device.
- a method to meet this requirement comprises a device with a control lever sliding along detent grooves.
- Such feature is implemented by means of a working area, determined by a preformed grid, upon which as many slots as the number of desired detent grooves have been cut.
- the preformed grid has a spherical-section-shaped surface.
- a metal point is geometrically shaped in such a way as to engage said slots, sliding on said working area, fitting into them by way of the pressure exerted by a spring which elastically connects it to the control lever and thus conveying tactile sensations corresponding to the desired detents.
- a first drawback linked to the use of said grid, and in particular to said spherical-section-shaped surface, comprises the need to use an additional elastic element aimed at bringing the control lever to the idle position, called zero position.
- the aim of the present invention is therefore the solution of said problems by implementing a hand-operated control device which allows an easy and accurate recovery of the zero position by the control device.
- a further aim of the present invention is the implementation of a control device wherein the force exerted by the user is proportional to the desired effect.
- the present invention is aimed at implementing a device which contributes to safety in an industrial environment.
- the aim of the present invention is also the implementation of a device comprising a limited number of components, so as to reduce the likelihood of breakdown of the system and to increase the availability thereof accordingly.
- the hand-operated control device 10 comprises, as illustrated in fig. 2, five main parts: a rod support 20, a handling lever 4, a metal point 12, a spring 11 and an elliptical working area 30.
- a cap for the hard-operated control device 2 which encloses the upper part of the operating mechanism by linking to a frame 13 through a cap fastener 6.
- the handling lever 4 which bears an elastic ring 5 in its end part, fits into the cap for hand-operated control device 2 by means of a lever slide 3.
- the cap fastener 6 is connected to the upper portion of a switch 7 which interacts with the handling lever 4 through a sphere bearing for the switch 8 and through a sphere antirotating pivot 9.
- the control device which is the subject-matter of the invention feaures, as shown, a handling lever 4 into which a metal point 12 fits, which in its turn is coupled with a spring 11.
- the function of the spring 11 is to allow the relative sliding between the metal point 12 and the handling lever 4, so as to exert the pressure needed for the metal point 12 to engage the slots 14 on the working area 30.
- the metal point 12 engages the working area 30.
- the position of the metal point 12 depends on the position of the handling lever 4 manually moved by the operator, with which the metal point 12 is integral.
- the angle ⁇ is always wider than 90°, except in the zero position.
- Fig. 5 illustrates by way of example: an envelope of the centres of the circles forming the slots on the working area (letter A) and the profile of the actual end working area (letter B). Should no kind of detent be necessary, the working area shall simply be a concave hyperboloid.
- Table 1 shows, by mere way of example, the variation of the stroke of the spring 11 as a function of movements along a reference plane XY for the working area.
- the proportionality between the stroke and the movement is not linear, but quadratic.
- the hand-operated control device which is the subject-matter of the invention features the following significant advantages and outstanding characteristics.
- control device comprises a limited number of components, thus favourably reducing the likelihood of breakdown of the system as a whole and increasing the availability thereof accordingly.
- the peculiar exemplified shape, with the working area 30 having a hyperbolic profile, allows the use of a single spring to implement the recovery of the zero position by the control device.
- the system is stable only in the zero position, since only in this point does the spring 11 report the steady minimum value of the elastic energy.
- the return force exerted by the spring 11 upon the handling lever 4 appears to be maximum when the latter is in its extreme position, namely is farthest from the zero position.
- the system controlled by the hand-operated control device is in its most critical state, for example at its highest speed.
- the system which is the subject-matter of the present invention therefore exerts its maximum response force right in the worst operating condition, thus ensuring the prompt return to the zero position and, as a result, the recovery of safer conditions.
