SETTING DEVICE FOR REMOTE CONTROL OF MANIPULATOR Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B25J13/02 G05G9/04 

FIELD: systems for controlling operation of manipulators.

SUBSTANCE: setting device for remote control includes movable platform supporting movable control handle, stationary base and five kinematic circuits for connecting said units and having prismatic articulation joints in which linear motion pickups are mounted. Four kinematic circuits are secured by means of first four spherical articulation joints to stationary base and by means of four second spherical joints to movable platform. Centers of first spherical joints of stationary base are arranged in orthogonal symmetry axes of said base and they are equally spaced from their crossing center coinciding with center of stationary base. Centers of second spherical joints through which kinematic circuits are secured to movable platform are arranged in orthogonal symmetry axes of said platform and they are equally spaced from their crossing center coinciding with center of movable platform. Crossing point of orthogonal axes of stationary base coincides with center cross of first universal joint by means of which kinematic circuit is secured to stationary base. Crossing point of orthogonal axes of movable platform coincides with center cross of second universal joint through which central kinematic circuit is secured to movable platform. Central kinematic circuit also includes pickup for measuring rotation angle of movable platform relative to its own axis being third axis of right Cartesian coordinate system related to movable platform whose first two axes are orthogonal symmetry axes in which second spherical joints are arranged. Effective model also includes set of standard members mutually connected by predetermined fashion and allowing to process signals of linear motion pickups and rotation angle pickup to correlated coordinates of movable platform.

EFFECT: simplified design, enhanced fast response, improved manufacturing process.
