CONTROL DEVICE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC G05G9/47 

FIELD: control devices.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a device for control of various manned and unmanned equipment, including flying, ground, underwater, as well as for operation with computer equipment, as well as for control of space vehicles. Device consists of handle with buttons, bracket, fixed base and mechanism imitating feedback. Bracket is adjustable in height, fixed base on upper side has a hemisphere made of slippery material, a sphere arranged inside the hemisphere, connected to a handle having a trigger switch and rigidly connected to the curved bracket with the side or bottom side of the sphere. Fixed base has an optical, electromagnetic or laser sensor. Information on movement of the handle is read from the sphere by an optical sensor, which is switched on and disconnected at the user's request by means of a trigger-switch. Mechanism simulating feedback of user hand holding handle, with executing mechanisms of controlled vehicle, consists of lower fixed base, cores with spheres and solenoids with spheres, to which electric current is supplied, which is controlled by a computing device and which is variable in strength on the basis of data received from an optical sensor.

EFFECT: easier control due to shorter distance between handle and axis of rotation and higher degrees of freedom.
