A joystick device 10 disclosed herein provides a return function for urging a lever 20 to its initial position. The device includes a first spring 30 and a second spring 40, each of which extends along the lever 20 and is disposed between an upper spring seat 32 and a lower spring seat 34. The springs 30 and 40 are subjected to compression to provide an urging force as the lever 20 is tilted from the initial position.

A joystick includes a stick head, an actuating component, a substrate, a bearing base, a resilient recovering component and a constraining component. The actuating component has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end is connected to the stick head, and an identification feature is disposed on the second end. The substrate has a detection module used to detect the identification feature and determine motion of the stick head. The bearing base is disposed on the substrate. An opening portion of the bearing base aligns with the detection module and the actuating component. The resilient recovering component is disposed between the substrate and the bearing base. The constraining component is disposed on the resilient recovering component and movably disposed inside the opening portion, and used to abut against the actuating component in a detachable manner.

A control device for a human-machine interface includes a base and a moveable member in the form of a lever or a push element, which can be moved relative to the base. The control device further includes at least one electroactive element positioned between the moveable member and a fixed element of the base.

The present invention relates to the field of remote control technologies and provides a rocker apparatus and a remote controller. The rocker apparatus includes a housing, a lever assembly, a magnetic element and a circuit board. The lever assembly is mounted in the housing and can move in parallel with the housing. The magnetic element is mounted in the lever assembly. The circuit board includes a magnetic sensor, the magnetic sensor being configured to sense a magnetic field change of the magnetic element. When the lever assembly moves in parallel with the housing, the magnetic element is driven by the lever assembly to move with respect to the magnetic sensor in any direction in a plane.

To improve the operator control capability of an actuating drive, switches are dispensed with and, instead, at least two rotary elements for rotational operator control are provided, arranged concentrically with respect to one another to be operatable using both hands and, in the process, are rotatable individually and independently of one another, preferably about a common axis of rotation. Rotational adjustment movements of the two rotary elements are transmitted by a magnetic coupling through a housing section, which is designed without apertures, of the actuating drive into an interior space of said actuating drive, such that, for reading out the magnetic fields, use can be made of conventional Hall sensors, and the housing of the actuating drive can be designed to be explosion-proof. In the event of failure of the rotary elements, the magnetic fields required for operator control are transmitted into the interior space using a magnetic pin for high operational reliability under all circumstances.
