DEVICE FOR MANUAL CONTROL OF MOBILE OBJECT Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; manual electric remote control systems of ground mobile objects, aircraft and sea-going vessels.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device has body and handle kinematically linked with mechanical units ensuring separate and simultaneous deviation of handle in two perpendicular directions; device is also provided with loading units and handle position sensors. Mechanical deviating units are made in form of bows mounted as cantilever on respective pivot axles. One bow is deviated relative to vertical axis and other bow is deviated relative to horizontal axis. Bows are mechanically linked together by means of bow-shaped strut whose lower end is movably connected with bow of angle-of-sight channel by means of vertical pivot axle and is rigidly connected with handle bracket and upper end of bow-shaped strut is articulated by means of horizontal pivot axle with movable clamp which is slidable in guide slot of azimuth channel. Vertical axis of rotation of bow-shaped strut coincides with axis of rotation of azimuth channel bow and upper horizontal axis of rotation of bow-shaped strut coincides with axis of rotation of angle-of-sight channel bow. Secured to handle bracket on opposite side is balancing weight.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability of control handle due to simple kinematics of mechanical units.
