Abstract
An aviation sidestick is a device that can be used to control various manned and unmanned equipment, including flying, ground, underwater, to control spacecraft in outer space and to control computer games. It consists of a housing, a handle with buttons and a scroll wheel, a bracket/arm, a compensating mechanism, a fixed base in the form of a spherical segment and a mechanism that simulates feedback located under the compensating mechanism, while the geometric centers of the sphere and the focus of the sphere segment do not coincide, but is positioned on the same axis.
Claims1
An aviation sidestick comprising:
- a body, a handle with buttons and a scroll wheel, a height-adjustable bracket, a sphere, a computing device, an optical sensor and a stationary segment of the sphere,
- wherein a mechanism that simulates feedback is located under a base;
- wherein a center of the sphere, a focus of a sphere segment and radii of the spheres do not coincide and are located at a common imaginary axis;
- wherein a compensating mechanism is located inside the body, the compensating mechanism consists of a fixed outer cylinder and a movable inner cylinder, a screw and a threaded bushing, a stepper motor, as well as gears and racks or a worm shaft and a rotary threaded ring, or a gear and a small gear, or toothed pulleys and toothed belts;
- wherein the aircraft sidestick contains a corrugated structure with electrical connectors placed on its bells, interconnected by electrical wires laid in the body of its material, and the middle bracket and
- wherein the feedback mechanism is rigidly connected to the compensating mechanism.
