Definitions

the invention relates to a control panel for an industrial truck, in particular for a high-bay stacker or a high-level order picker, with at least one control element for controlling a load handling function of the truck.
High rack trucks such as High-level stackers or high-level order pickers, usually have a compact control panel on which all controls are connected for operating the truck.
the control panel is arranged on the load-facing side of a liftable driver's cab of the truck. While operating the truck, the operator stands behind the front of the control panel so that he or she can access the control console with both hands.
the only control panel or an additional control console hub side so to arrange on the side facing away from the load of the control panel.
the operation of the load handling functions of the truck usually takes place via a plurality of control elements, which are designed as buttons or as a rotary switch. This requires a frequent embrace between different controls or frequent switching of the load handling functions associated with the control.
the present invention is based on the object to provide a control panel, in which a frequent encompassing or switching can be avoided in the operation of the load handling functions.
the at least one operating element is designed as a thumb joystick, such that the operating element is pivotable by an operator with the thumb about at least one axis.
the thumb joystick has a very low height, so that it protrudes only slightly beyond the surface of the control panel. The risk of unintentional operation of the control element, for example, by an operator bending over the control panel or by a load moving over the control panel is thereby minimized.
the thumb joystick is arranged and designed so that it can be reached and actuated in an ergonomically advantageous manner with the thumb of the hand of the operator. The actuating travel of the thumb joystick is dimensioned so that the operator does not have to twist his hand even with a full deflection of the thumb joystick.
the operating element is pivotable by the operator with the thumb about at least two axes.
Each of the two mutually perpendicular pivot axes is assigned a load handling function of the truck, so that the control element at any time two different functions can be controlled.
the angle of deflection of the control element about the respective axis is converted into a stepless or fine-step control signal. With this proportional control signal, the speed of the relevant load handling function can be controlled.
the operating element has a slotted guide, such that the operating element can be pivoted at the same time in each case only about an axis.
the control element can be used to control either the first function or the second function, but not both functions at the same time.
control element has no slotted guide, such that the control element is simultaneously pivotable about both axes.
both load handling functions can be controlled simultaneously.
the achievable with the truck handling capacity can be increased.
control element has a concave support surface for the thumb of a hand of the operator.
the concave support surface facilitates the application of force to the control element.
each increase indicates a possible direction for the pivotal movement of the control element about exactly one axis.
the increases serve to give the operator a feeling for the possible Arrange actuating directions of the control. Consequently, an operating element which can be actuated only about one axis has two oppositely arranged elevations.
An operating element, which is pivotable about two mutually perpendicular axes, has four elevations.
the risk of unintentional operation of the operating element is particularly low when the operating element is arranged in a recess or in a return of the control panel, such that the control element protrudes at most 25 mm, preferably at most 15 mm beyond the surface of the control console.
An ergonomically particularly favorable arrangement results when the operating element is arranged in the region of a lateral edge of the operating console, such that the operator can embrace the edge of the operating panel with the fingers of the hand while the thumb is on the operating element. Thus, the operator can hold on to the control panel and simultaneously control the load handling functions of the truck with the same hand.
the underside of the control panel in the region of the edge has a recessed grip for the fingers of the hand of the operator.
the operating element can be pivoted about two axes and the operating element can always control two load handling functions.
these are, for example, the following functions: raising and lowering of the driver's cab together with the load-carrying device on a main lifting mast, lateral displacement of the lifting device relative to the driver's station (lateral thrust), pivoting of the lifting device relative to the driver's station (pivoting), raising and lowering of the lifting device Lifting device relative to the driver's station on a sanshubmast (additional lift).
a second control element formed by a thumb joystick which is pivotable about an axis with which a traction drive of the industrial truck is controllable.
the second thumb joystick controls the direction of travel and the driving speed of the truck.
a thumb joystick pivotable about an axis is sufficient.
the first operating element is provided for operation by the operator with the thumb of a first hand and the second operating element for operation with the thumb of the other hand.
the load handling functions and the drive can be operated independently by the operator.
FIG. 1 shows a control panel according to the invention of an industrial truck designed as a high-level stacker in plan view.
the control panel is located on the side facing a load-carrying means of the truck side of a driver's cab. The operator looks in the direction of the lifting device, while she is frontally in front of the control panel and can access with both hands on the control panel.
control panel On the control panel there are two designed in accordance with the invention as a thumb joystick controls 1, 2.
the left control element 1 is used to control the load handling functions of the truck, while the right control element 2 is used to control the direction of travel and the driving speed of the truck.
control panel designed as a steering wheel steering actuator 3, a horn button 4, an emergency stop 5, three switching elements 6 to switch the function assignment of the control element 1 and some other pushbutton 7.
a central section 8 of the control panel there is room for an optional Equipment with a screen and / or with a keyboard.
the left operating element 1 serves to control the direction of movement and the speed of movement of the load handling functions "main lift”, “side thrust”, “swivel” and “additional lift".
the control element 1 can be pivoted about the two axes 10, 11 shown with dotted lines, wherein each axis 10, 11 is associated with a load handling function. The assignment of one of the mentioned functions to the axes 10 and 11 takes place with the switching elements 6.
the present invention designed as a thumb joystick control element 1 has a centrally arranged, concave support surface 1 a for the thumb of the operator. At the edge of the support surface 1a is in each possible direction of movement, an increase 1 b, which allows the operator tactile detection of the main directions of movement of the control element 1.
the operating element 1 can also be moved in intermediate directions, in which case two load handling functions are simultaneously activated. If this is to be prevented in another embodiment, the control element 1 can be equipped with a slotted guide, which ensures that the control element can always be moved only in one of the two directions of movement.
the second control element 2 is used to control the traction drive of the truck and can only be pivoted about the axis 12 in the forward and reverse directions.
the operating element 2 also has a concave actuating surface 2a. Corresponding to the two possible directions of movement of the control element 2 are located at the front and at the rear edge of the actuating surface 2a a total of two elevations 2b.
FIG. 2 shows the control panel of FIG. 1 in side view. Shown here is in particular the steering actuator 3 and running as a thumb joystick control 1. It can be seen that the control element 1 is arranged in a recess 13 of the control panel. This ensures that the control element 1 protrudes only slightly over the surface of the control panel. The risk of unintentional operation of the control element 1 is thereby minimized.
the control panel In the area below the control element 1, the control panel on a recessed grip 14.
the position of the recessed grip 14 corresponds to the position of the fingers of the operator who operates the control element 1 with the thumb of the same hand. This makes it easier for the operator to hold on to the control panel.
Figure 3 illustrates the position of the hand 15 of the operator during the operation of the control element 1 with the thumb. It can be clearly seen how the hand encompasses the lateral edge of the control panel.
