Manual control device, control and operating unit including a manual control device, and work machine or construction machine

A manual control device for a control and operating unit of a lifting work platform, work machine or construction machine, comprising:

• at least one actuating unit which comprises an actuation element comprising at least one magnetic position element;
• and
• an evaluating unit which comprises at least one magnetic field sensor unit,
• wherein the evaluating unit is configured to detect a position or movement of the actuation element in a plane of movement based on a sensor signal from the magnetic field sensor unit,
• wherein the actuation element is movable relative to the sensor unit along a further direction of movement perpendicular to the plane of movement,
• wherein the evaluating unit is configured to detect a movement of the actuation element along the further direction of movement based on the sensor signal from the magnetic field sensor unit,
• wherein the actuation element is switchable between:
• a first position in which movement in the plane of movement or movement along the further direction of movement is allowed, and
• a second position in which movement is allowed only in the plane of movement and no movement is allowed along the further direction of movement,
• wherein the evaluating unit is configured to detect the first position or the second position of the actuation element based on the sensor signal from the magnetic field sensor unit,
• wherein the manual control device further includes an adapter plate and a hold-up plate, of which one is mounted in the manual control device, depending on whether the actuation element is in the first position or in the second position,
• wherein, in the second position of the actuation element, the hold-up plate is mounted in the manual control device to prevent movement of the actuation element from the second position, and
• wherein, in the first position of the actuation element, the adapter plate is mounted in the manual control device such that the distance between a non-deflected magnetic position element of the actuation element and the magnetic field sensor unit is greater than the distance when the hold-up plate is mounted.
