METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENABLING HEAVY FLOATING TOUCHSCREEN HAPTICS ASSEMBLIES AND PASSIVE BRAKING SYSTEM

摘要

A system for amplifying haptic effects provided by a push-pull actuator includes a housing component, a push-pull actuator coupled to the housing component and configured to provide force and displacement, a lever component including a lever arm and a fulcrum, and a haptic touch surface coupled to the lever arm through an output interface. The push-pull actuator is arranged in an actuator mounting unit. The amount of the displacement transferred to the haptic touch surface from the push-pull actuator is reduced by the lever component and the amount of the force transferred to the haptic touch surface from the push-pull actuator is increased by the lever component. The system may include a material stop part coupled to the housing component to exhibit hysteresis to attenuate the haptic touch surface when being compressed by the haptic touch surface.
