Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hand- operated control device .
  • many hand-operated control devices are known, in particular for the remote operation, by means of a control lever, of sundry machinery, including for example lifting or handling equipment.
  • the market often requires control devices which convey to the operator the tactile sensation of performing discrete increments when moving.
  • a method to meet this requirement comprises a device with a control lever sliding along detent grooves. More particularly, 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 operator has to exert upon the command lever a force which appears to be always constant, regardless of the lever 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

  • Figure 5 depicts a shop drawing showing an example of an envelope of the centres of the circles forming the slots on the working area, as well as the end working area
  • Figure 6 depicts some partial longitudinal sectional views of the hand-operated control device in several working positions.
  • 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 rod support 20 a rod support 20
  • a handling lever 4 a metal point 12, a spring 11 and an elliptical working area 30.
  • Such main elements in their turn can be broken down into a sequence of components, as shown in the exploded view of fig. 1.
  • a cap for the hand-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 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.
  • 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 are .
  • 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.
  • the 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.
  • return force is the result of the interaction of the working area with the single spring 11 of 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 force exerted by the user on the handling lever 4 grows exponentially as a function of the distance from the zero position. In this way, a force is implemented to achieve a movement which is proportional to the desired effect, thus significantly increasing safety in the industrial environment where the device is used.
  • 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. As a rule, when the lever 4 is in this position, the system controlled by the hand-operated control device is in its most critical state, for example at its highest speed.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande actionné manuellement se composant d'un groupe d'actionnement supérieur comprenant un levier de manoeuvre (4) associé au moyen de commande (8) et supporté correctement. Une pointe métallique (12) est insérée dans le levier de manoeuvre pour agir sur la zone de travail (30), la pointe métallique et le levier de manoeuvre étant dotés d'un moyen élastique (11) permettant leur emboîtement. Dans le dispositif de l'invention, la zone de travail possède une certaine forme permettant, en interaction avec les positions de travail de ladite pointe métallique, de transformer l'énergie élastique du moyen élastique en une force de retour agissant également sur le levier de manoeuvre.
