Description

Domaine de l'inventionField of the invention

La présente invention se rapporte à une télécommande d'engin comportant un boîtier de télécommande muni d'un levier actionné par l'utilisateur et des moyens de liaison du levier au boîtier permettant le mouvement du levier par rapport au boîtier selon deux axes (X,Y), ainsi que des moyens de détection du mouvement relatif du levier par rapport au boîtier pour générer des signaux de commande de l'engin auquel est associée la télécommande.The present invention relates to a remote control device comprising a remote control box provided with a lever actuated by the user and lever connecting means to the housing allowing the movement of the lever relative to the housing along two axes (X, Y), as well as means for detecting the relative movement of the lever relative to the housing to generate control signals of the machine with which the remote control is associated.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Le document US 6 512 509 LOGITEC décrit un mécanisme de télécommande à deux axes destiné à des applications de jeux vidéo. Il a l'inconvénient de ne pas être suffisamment robuste pour des applications techniques et industrielles exigeant une durée de vie importante, supérieure à 5 000 000 de cycles et ayant une tenue à des efforts maximum de l'ordre de 100 Kg.The document US 6,512,509 LOGITEC describes a two-axis remote control mechanism for video game applications. It has the disadvantage of not being sufficiently robust for technical and industrial applications requiring a long life, greater than 5,000,000 cycles and having a holding at maximum efforts of the order of 100 Kg.

La fragilité de ce mécanisme est liée à la réduction de sa structure à deux pivots, un pour chacun des axes de rotation de sorte que des efforts de torsion sont appliqués aux liaisons et fragilisent l'ensemble de la structure.The fragility of this mechanism is related to the reduction of its two-pivot structure, one for each of the axes of rotation so that torsion forces are applied to the links and weaken the entire structure.

Selon le document WO 0165 328 MICROSOFT, le mécanisme est renforcé par deux pivots supplémentaires, c'est-à-dire qu'il y a deux pivots par axe, ce qui réduit les efforts de torsion. Mais le dispositif décrit est relativement complexe et ne convient pas pour un équipement mobile devant résister aux conditions de fonctionnement exposées ci-dessus. Pour avoir une telle tenue mécanique, il faudrait augmenter les dimensions des éléments en particulier dans les directions transversales X et Y, ce qui ne permettrait pas son intégration dans un équipement mobile, par exemple dans une cabine d'engin de construction.According to the document WO 0165328 MICROSOFT, the mechanism is reinforced by two additional pivots, that is to say that there are two pivots per axis, which reduces the torsional forces. But the device described is relatively complex and is not suitable for mobile equipment to withstand the operating conditions outlined above. To have such a mechanical strength, it would be necessary to increase the dimensions of the elements in particular in the transverse directions X and Y, which would not allow its integration in a mobile equipment, for example in a construction machine cabin.

But de l'inventionPurpose of the invention

La présente invention a pour but de développer un mécanisme de télécommande pour des engins techniques tels que des engins de construction ou de travaux publics, fonctionnant suivant deux axes et retour au point neutre, qui soit de construction simple, très peu encombrante et résistante.The present invention aims to develop a remote control mechanism for technical equipment such as construction equipment or public works, operating along two axes and return to the neutral point, which is simple construction, very compact and resistant.

Exposé etPresentation and avantages de l'inventionadvantages of the invention

A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet une télécommande du type défini ci-dessus caractérisée en ce qu'elle comporte

  • un corps fixe muni de pivots définissant l'axe et l'axe se coupant en un point géométrique autour duquel pivote le levier,
  • un cadre principal pivotant par rapport au boîtier par les deux pivots portés par le boîtier dans l'axe X et dont le mouvement de pivotement est détecté par un capteur,
  • un cadre auxiliaire, pivotant par rapport au boîtier par les deux pivots portés par le boîtier dans l'axe Y et dont le mouvement de pivotement est détecté par un capteur,
  • un cadre intermédiaire relié au cadre auxiliaire par une articulation,
  • un levier de commande, muni de deux paires de bras solidaires du levier, issus du pivot géométrique défini par l'intersection des axes X, Y et coopérant, l'une directement avec le cadre principal et l'autre avec le cadre auxiliaire par le cadre intermédiaire,
  • le levier étant mobile d'un côté du plan du cadre principal, le cadre auxiliaire et le cadre intermédiaire étant situés de l'autre côté du plan des paires de bras,
  • le mouvement du levier de commande étant transmis au capteur du mouvement de pivotement autour de l'axe X par les bras du levier associés au cadre principal et au capteur du mouvement autour de l'axe Y par la paire de bras du levier associés au cadre intermédiaire relié au cadre auxiliaire.
For this purpose, the invention relates to a remote control of the type defined above characterized in that it comprises
  • a fixed body provided with pivots defining the axis and the axis intersecting at a geometrical point around which the lever pivots,
  • a main frame pivoting relative to the housing by the two pivots carried by the housing in the X axis and whose pivoting movement is detected by a sensor,
  • an auxiliary frame, pivoted relative to the housing by the two pivots carried by the housing in the Y axis and whose pivoting movement is detected by a sensor,
  • an intermediate frame connected to the auxiliary frame by a hinge,
  • a control lever, provided with two pairs of arms integral with the lever, derived from the geometrical pivot defined by the intersection of the axes X, Y and cooperating, one directly with the main frame and the other with the auxiliary frame by the middle frame,
  • the lever being movable on one side of the plane of the main frame, the auxiliary frame and the intermediate frame being located on the other side of the plane of the pairs of arms,
  • the movement of the control lever being transmitted to the sensor of the pivoting movement about the X axis by the lever arms associated with the main frame and the motion sensor around the Y axis by the pair of lever arms associated with the frame intermediate connected to the auxiliary frame.

La télécommande selon l'invention a l'avantage d'être d'une structure particulièrement résistante car elle a notamment deux pivots associés à chaque axe de pivotement du levier de commande, mais également une structure extrêmement simple et peu encombrante permettant son intégration facile dans un équipement technique tel que le poste de conduite d'un engin de construction, au niveau de l'accoudoir, car cet emplacement doit présenter un encombrement particulièrement réduit à cause de la place réduite disponible dans le poste de conduite et la nécessité d'y faciliter l'accès.The remote control according to the invention has the advantage of being of a particularly strong structure because it has in particular two pivots associated with each axis of pivoting of the control lever, but also an extremely simple and compact structure allowing its easy integration into technical equipment such as the driving position of a construction machine, at the armrest, because this location must have a particularly small footprint because of the reduced space available in the driving position and the need for it facilitate access.

Selon une caractéristique, les pivots du cadre principal sont constitués par deux éléments d'axe engagés dans des paliers fixes alignés sur l'axe du boîtier et appartenant au boîtier.According to one characteristic, the pivots of the main frame are constituted by two axis elements engaged in fixed bearings aligned on the axis of the housing and belonging to the housing.

Suivant une autre caractéristique, le cadre auxiliaire est une pièce en forme de U dont les deux branches se terminent par deux pivots formés par des éléments d'axe logés dans les paliers fixes du boîtier.According to another feature, the auxiliary frame is a U-shaped piece whose two branches end with two pivots formed by axis elements housed in the fixed bearings of the housing.

Suivant une autre caractéristique, le cadre intermédiaire est une pièce en forme de U dont les branches sont munies de pivots formés par des paliers auxiliaires recevant la seconde paire de bras du levier, la branche transversale du cadre intermédiaire étant reliée à la branche intermédiaire du cadre auxiliaire par une articulation de liaison.According to another feature, the intermediate frame is a U-shaped piece whose branches are provided with pivots formed by auxiliary bearings receiving the second pair of arms of the lever, the transverse branch of the intermediate frame being connected to the intermediate branch of the frame auxiliary by a linkage joint.

L'ensemble ainsi formé avec les pivots constitue une structure fiable résistant aux conditions imposées à des télécommandes d'engins de construction ou de travaux publics ou engins de ce type.The assembly thus formed with the pivots is a reliable structure resistant to the conditions imposed on remotes of construction machines or public works or machines of this type.

Suivant une caractéristique avantageuse, les axes sont orthogonaux et les branches du levier sont orthogonales.According to an advantageous characteristic, the axes are orthogonal and the branches of the lever are orthogonal.

Suivant une autre caractéristique avantageuse, le cadre auxiliaire et le cadre intermédiaire sont symétriques et leur articulation de liaison est située au milieu de la branche transversale de chacun des cadres. Cette articulation est notamment un palier dont l'axe passe par le pivot du levier.According to another advantageous characteristic, the auxiliary frame and the intermediate frame are symmetrical and their linkage articulation is located in the middle of the transverse branch of each of the frames. This articulation is in particular a bearing whose axis passes through the pivot of the lever.

Suivant une autre caractéristique, le cadre auxiliaire et le cadre intermédiaire sont mobiles sous le plan des axes X,Y et le levier 5 est mobile au-dessus de ce plan des axes X,Y.According to another characteristic, the auxiliary frame and the intermediate frame are movable in the plane of the X, Y axes and the lever 5 is movable above this plane of the X, Y axes.

Ainsi, globalement et selon les différentes formes de réalisation, la télécommande de l'invention a une structure particulièrement simple, robuste et peu encombrante.Thus, overall and according to the various embodiments, the remote control of the invention has a particularly simple structure, robust and compact.

Description de modes de réalisation de l'inventionDescription of Embodiments of the Invention

La figure 1 qui est une représentation schématique d'un exemple de télécommande destinée à commander une manoeuvre d'un équipement tel qu'un engin de travaux publics ou un autre se compose d'un corps ou boîtier 1, fixe, portant un levier de commande 5 mobile par pivotement autour d'un pivot R, immatériel, défini comme intersection des deux axes X,Y autour duquel le levier 5 peut pivoter par rapport à un axe seul ou de façon combinée par rapport aux deux axes.The figure 1 which is a schematic representation of an example of remote control intended to control a maneuver of an equipment such as a public works machine or another consists of a body or housing 1, fixed, carrying a movable control lever 5 by pivoting around an immaterial pivot R, defined as the intersection of the two axes X, Y around which the lever 5 can pivot with respect to a single axis or in combination with the two axes.

Le boîtier fixe 1 porte un capteur CX associé à l'axe X et un capteur CY associé à l'axe Y pour détecter les mouvements de pivotement RX, RY selon les axes X et Y, associés au levier 5 et fournir des signaux utilisés pour générer des signaux de commande de l'équipement comme cela sera décrit de manière plus détaillée ci-après.The fixed housing 1 carries a sensor CX associated with the X axis and a CY sensor associated with the Y axis to detect the pivoting movements RX, RY along the X and Y axes associated with the lever 5 and to provide signals used to generate control signals of the equipment as will be described in more detail below.

Le traitement des signaux fournis par les capteurs CX, CY se fait de manière connue pour générer les signaux de commande.The signals supplied by the sensors CX, CY are processed in a known manner to generate the control signals.

Le boîtier 1 reçoit un cadre principal 2 muni de deux éléments d'axe EX1, EX2, alignés sur l'axe X et logés dans deux paliers fixes PX1, PX2. Ces paliers sont alignés sur l'axe X et portés par le boîtier 1. Le cadre principal 2 pivote par rapport au boîtier 1 autour de l'axe X comme l'indique la flèche RX suivant un angle inférieur à 180°.The housing 1 receives a main frame 2 provided with two axis elements EX1, EX2, aligned on the axis X and housed in two fixed bearings PX1, PX2. These bearings are aligned on the X axis and carried by the housing 1. The main frame 2 pivots relative to the housing 1 about the X axis as indicated by the arrow RX at an angle less than 180 °.

Dans un plan transversal à l'axe X, passant par le pivot géométrique R, le cadre principal 2 est muni de deux paliers principaux PPX1, PPX2, alignés sur une droite passant par le pivot R.In a plane transverse to the axis X, passing through the geometrical pivot R, the main frame 2 is provided with two main bearings PPX1, PPX2, aligned on a straight line passing through the pivot R.

Le cadre principal 2 est une structure définissant de manière générale deux pivots (EX1/PX1 ; EX2/PX2) dans l'axe X et deux pivots (PPX1, PPX2) dans un plan transversal par rapport à l'axe X et contenant l'axe Y, c'est-à-dire quatre pivots coplanaires. Le cadre principal selon l'exemple présenté est une structure rectangulaire formée de deux côtés longitudinaux 21 parallèles à l'axe X et reliés par des côtés transversaux 22 reliés aux côtés longitudinaux 21 et portant chacun un palier principal PPX1, PPX2.The main frame 2 is a structure defining generally two pivots (EX1 / PX1; EX2 / PX2) in the X axis and two pivots (PPX1, PPX2) in a plane transverse to the X axis and containing the Y axis, that is to say, four coplanar pivots. The main frame according to the example shown is a rectangular structure formed of two longitudinal sides 21 parallel to the axis X and connected by transverse sides 22 connected to the longitudinal sides 21 and each carrying a main bearing PPX1, PPX2.

Le boîtier 1 a également un cadre auxiliaire 3 qui est une pièce en forme de U dont les branches latérales 31 sont réunies par une banche transversale 32. Les branches latérales 31 sont reliées à leur autre extrémité à un élément d'axe EY1, EY2. Ces éléments EY1, EY2 sont alignés sur l'axe Y et logés dans deux paliers fixes PY1, PY2 du boîtier 1.The housing 1 also has an auxiliary frame 3 which is a U-shaped piece whose side branches 31 are joined by a transverse board 32. The side branches 31 are connected at their other end to a shaft member EY1, EY2. These elements EY1, EY2 are aligned on the Y axis and housed in two fixed bearings PY1, PY2 of the housing 1.

De façon générale, le cadre auxiliaire 3 est relié au boîtier 1 par deux pivots (EY1/PY1 ; EY2/PY2) alignés sur l'axe Y et transmettant le mouvement de pivotement RY du cadre auxiliaire 3 au capteur RY.In general, the auxiliary frame 3 is connected to the housing 1 by two pivots (EY1 / PY1; EY2 / PY2) aligned on the Y axis and transmitting the pivoting movement RY of the auxiliary frame 3 to the sensor RY.

Le cadre auxiliaire 3 pivote par rapport au boîtier 1 au retour de l'axe Y. Ce pivotement indiqué par la double flèche RY, se fait suivant un angle inférieur à 180°.The auxiliary frame 3 pivots relative to the housing 1 to the return of the Y axis. This pivoting indicated by the double arrow RY, is at an angle less than 180 °.

Le cadre auxiliaire 3 est relié à un cadre intermédiaire 4 en forme de U dont les deux branches latérales 41 sont reliées par une branche transversale 42. Chacune des branches latérales 41 est reliée à son autre extrémité à un palier auxiliaire PPY1, PPY2 aligné sur le pivot R.The auxiliary frame 3 is connected to a U-shaped intermediate frame 4 whose two lateral branches 41 are connected by a transverse branch 42. Each of the lateral branches 41 is connected at its other end to an auxiliary bearing PPY1, PPY2 aligned with the pivot R.

De façon générale, le cadre intermédiaire 4 a des branches 41 munies chacune d'un élément de pivot (PPY1, PPY2) combiné à un élément de pivot complémentaire du levier 5 comme cela sera décrit ensuite.In general, the intermediate frame 4 has branches 41 each provided with a pivot member (PPY1, PPY2) combined with a fulcrum element complementary to the lever 5 as will be described next.

Le levier 5 est muni solidairement de deux paires de bras BX1 BX2 BY1 BY2 issus du pivot R et qui, dans une certaine position du levier 5 sont alignés sur les directions X et Y.The lever 5 is integrally provided with two pairs of arms BX1 BX2 BY1 BY2 coming from the pivot R and which in a certain position of the lever 5 are aligned on the directions X and Y.

La paire de bras BX1, 2 est engagée dans les paliers principaux PPX1, PPX2. La paire de bras BY1,2 est engagée dans les paliers auxiliaires PPY1, PPY2 réalisant ainsi deux paires de pivots entre le levier 5 et le cadre principal 2 ou le cadre intermédiaire 4.The pair of arms BX1, 2 is engaged in the main bearings PPX1, PPX2. The pair of arms BY1,2 is engaged in the auxiliary bearings PPY1, PPY2 thus achieving two pairs of pivots between the lever 5 and the main frame 2 or the intermediate frame 4.

Le cadre intermédiaire 4 est relié par sa branche transversale 42 à la branche transversale 32 du cadre auxiliaire 3 par une articulation 6 qui est un palier d'axe passant par le pivot R.The intermediate frame 4 is connected by its transverse branch 42 to the transverse branch 32 of the auxiliary frame 3 by a hinge 6 which is a bearing axis passing through the pivot R.

Le levier 5 est situé d'un côté du plan du cadre principal 2 et le cadre auxiliaire 3 combiné au cadre intermédiaire 4 est situé de l'autre côté du plan du cadre principal 2.The lever 5 is located on one side of the plane of the main frame 2 and the auxiliary frame 3 combined with the intermediate frame 4 is located on the other side of the plane of the main frame 2.

Le mouvement du levier 5 est transmis au capteur CX par la chaîne cinématique formée par la paire de bras BX1, 2 reliés au cadre principal 2 par les paliers principaux PPX1, 2. Le mouvement du levier 5 est transmis au capteur CY par la chaîne cinématique formée par la paire de bras BY1,2, les paliers PPY1,2, le cadre intermédiaire 4, l'articulation 6 et le cadre auxiliaire 3.The movement of the lever 5 is transmitted to the sensor CX by the kinematic chain formed by the pair of arms BX1, 2 connected to the main frame 2 by the main bearings PPX1, 2. The movement of the lever 5 is transmitted to the sensor CY by the drive train formed by the pair of BY1,2 arms, the PPY1,2 bearings, the intermediate frame 4, the hinge 6 and the auxiliary frame 3.

Le cadre auxiliaire 3 et le cadre intermédiaire 4 sont des cadres ouverts, situés sous le plan des axes XY pour ne pas interférer en mouvement avec le cadre principal 2 ; le cadre auxiliaire 3 est suffisamment ouvert pour pivoter dans le cadre principal 2 ; en d'autres termes, le cadre intermédiaire 4 est suffisamment étroit ou encore le cadre principal 2 est suffisamment long pour permettre le libre pivotement du cadre intermédiaire 4 dans le cadre principal 2 pour la plage des mouvements de commande du levier 5.The auxiliary frame 3 and the intermediate frame 4 are open frames, located under the plane of the XY axes so as not to interfere in motion with the main frame 2; the auxiliary frame 3 is sufficiently open to pivot in the main frame 2; in other words, the intermediate frame 4 is sufficiently narrow or the main frame 2 is long enough to allow the free pivoting of the intermediate frame 4 in the main frame 2 for the range of control movements of the lever 5.

Il en est de même du cadre auxiliaire 3 dont l'espace entre les branches latérales 31 permet le pivotement du cadre principal 2.It is the same for the auxiliary frame 3 whose space between the lateral branches 31 allows the pivoting of the main frame 2.

Il est à noter que les fonctions « élément d'axe / palier » sont des notions relatives désignant des pivots et qui peuvent être inversées en partie ou en totalité pour les pivots représentés : les éléments d'axe peuvent être remplacés par des paliers (éléments femelles) et les paliers par des éléments d'axe (éléments mâles).It should be noted that the functions "axis element / bearing" are relative concepts designating pivots and which can be reversed in part or in full for the pivots shown: the axis elements can be replaced by bearings (elements females) and the bearings by axis elements (male elements).

La télécommande décrite ci-dessus fonctionne comme suit :

  • dans le cas le plus simple, le pivotement du levier 5 autour de l'axe X produit le basculement du cadre 2 et la rotation RX des éléments d'axe EX1, EX2 ; cette rotation est détectée par le capteur CX. Le seul basculement du levier 5 autour de l'axe X, ne concerne pas le cadre intermédiaire 4 et le cadre auxiliaire 3 reste fixe.
  • Le pivotement du levier 5 autour de l'axe Y produit le basculement du cadre intermédiaire 4 qui bascule le cadre auxiliaire 3 autour de l'axe Y dont le pivotement RY est détecté par le capteur CY.
  • Pour le seul mouvement du levier 5 autour de l'axe Y ne fait que basculer les cadres 4, 3 qui conservent leur orientation relative.
  • le pivotement combiné du levier 5 à la fois suivant les axes X et Y peut se décomposer comme basculement du cadre principal 2 autour de l'axe X puis dans le cadre principal 2 ainsi incliné, le pivotement autour des bras BX1,2 de sorte que l'un des bras BY1 se relève (s'abaisse) et l'autre BY2 s'abaisse (se relève), par rapport au plan du cadre principal 2, basculé. Cela correspond à un pivotement du cadre intermédiaire 4 autour de l'axe reliant le pivot R à l'articulation 6 alors que pour le seul basculement autour de l'axe X, le cadre intermédiaire 4 conserve son orientation par rapport au cadre auxiliaire 3.
The remote control described above works as follows:
  • in the simplest case, the pivoting of the lever 5 around the axis X produces the tilting of the frame 2 and the rotation RX of the axis elements EX1, EX2; this rotation is detected by the sensor CX. The only tilting of the lever 5 around the X axis does not concern the intermediate frame 4 and the auxiliary frame 3 remains fixed.
  • The pivoting of the lever 5 around the Y axis produces the tilting of the intermediate frame 4 which tilts the auxiliary frame 3 around the Y axis whose pivoting RY is detected by the sensor CY.
  • For the only movement of the lever 5 around the Y axis only tilts the frames 4, 3 which retain their relative orientation.
  • the combined pivoting of the lever 5 at a time along the X and Y axes can be decomposed as tilting of the main frame 2 around the X axis and then in the main frame 2 thus inclined, the pivoting around the arms BX1,2 so that one arm BY1 rises (lowers) and the other BY2 lowers (rises), compared to the plane of the main frame 2, tilted. This corresponds to a pivoting of the intermediate frame 4 about the axis connecting the pivot R to the hinge 6 while for the only swing around the axis X, the intermediate frame 4 retains its orientation relative to the auxiliary frame 3.

Dans le cas le plus simple, puisque la télécommande a une structure globalement symétrique, les axes X,Y sont perpendiculaires ; de façon générale mais non nécessairement, le levier est perpendiculaire aux axes XY.In the simplest case, since the remote control has a generally symmetrical structure, the X, Y axes are perpendicular; generally but not necessarily, the lever is perpendicular to the XY axes.

Bien que la forme de base des cadres 2, 3, 4 soit rectangulaire, d'autres formes peuvent être envisagées. Ainsi, le cadre 2 peut avoir une forme polygonale ou courbe reliant ses pivots. Le cadre auxiliaire 3 peut être triangulaire en V de même que le cadre intermédiaire 4 dans la mesure où les formes des cadres permettent leur mouvement relatif.Although the basic shape of the frames 2, 3, 4 is rectangular, other shapes can be envisaged. Thus, the frame 2 may have a polygonal or curved shape connecting its pivots. The auxiliary frame 3 may be triangular V-shaped as the intermediate frame 4 insofar as the shapes of the frames allow their relative movement.

La figure 2 est une vue en perspective de dessous d'un mode de réalisation de la télécommande selon l'invention. Cette vue de dessous représente la télécommande sans les capteurs de pivotement CX, CY. Elle laisse apparaître le boîtier 1 formé d'une platine 11 et d'un couvercle 12 dont dépasse le levier 5 qui reçoit une poignée pour faciliter sa préhension. Sous la platine 12 apparait le cadre principal 2, le cadre auxiliaire 3 et le cadre intermédiaire 4 ainsi que l'articulation 6 reliant le cadre auxiliaire au cadre intermédiaire.The figure 2 is a perspective view from below of an embodiment of the remote control according to the invention. This bottom view shows the remote without the CX, CY swing sensors. It reveals the housing 1 formed of a plate 11 and a cover 12 which exceeds the lever 5 which receives a handle to facilitate its grip. Under the plate 12 appears the main frame 2, the auxiliary frame 3 and the intermediate frame 4 and the hinge 6 connecting the auxiliary frame to the intermediate frame.

La figure 3 est une vue en perspective de dessus de la partie de la télécommande représentée à la figure 2, mais sans le boîtier, c'est-à-dire sans la platine 11 et le couvercle 12. Cette vue qui ne montre pas non plus les capteurs de pivotement CX, CY souligne la compacité de la télécommande facilitant son intégration dans un équipement, par exemple une console ou un accoudoir de siège dans un engin de façon particulièrement ergonomique.The figure 3 is a perspective view from above of the part of the remote control shown in FIG. figure 2 , but without the housing, that is to say without the plate 11 and the cover 12. This view which also does not show the pivot sensors CX, CY highlights the compactness of the remote control facilitating its integration into a device, for example a console or a seat armrest in a gear in a particularly ergonomic manner.
