Abstract
A manipulation input device includes a master grip having a grip part and manipulation handles movably supported on the grip part, a spring configured to generate manipulation resistance in response to a displacement amount of the manipulation handles when the manipulation handles are manipulated, and a force magnitude adjusting unit configured to adjust the force magnitude of the manipulation resistance relative to the displacement amount.
Claims23
A manipulation input device comprising:
- a manipulation unit comprising:
- a manipulation unit main body;
- and
- manipulation handles movably supported on the manipulation unit main body;
- a manipulation resistance generator configured to generate manipulation resistance in response to a displacement amount of the manipulation handles when the manipulation handles are manipulated;
- and
- a force magnitude adjusting unit configured to adjust a force magnitude of the manipulation resistance relative to the displacement amount,
- wherein the force magnitude adjusting unit is configured to fix a change rate characteristic of the force magnitude of the manipulation resistance relative to the displacement amount, and to change a reference force magnitude value of the force magnitude of the manipulation resistance relative to a reference value of the displacement amount.
