The control handle 2 has a handle horizontal handle portion 21, a handle vertical shaft portion 22, a handle grip portion 23, etc. The handle horizontal handle portion 21 is suspended above the first area 11 of the control console. One end of the handle horizontal handle portion 21 is positioned in the first area 11 of the control console through the handle vertical shaft portion 22. The handle horizontal handle portion 21 is rotatably connected to the vertical shaft portion. The other end of the handle horizontal handle portion 21 is fixedly connected to the handle grip portion 23. The control methods of the control handle 2 are: first, control the handle grip portion 23, and the handle grip portion 23 drives the handle vertical shaft portion 22 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around its axis through the handle horizontal handle portion 21, and the handle vertical shaft portion 22 is configured to output control instructions according to its rotation angle position. Second, the handle lateral handle portion 21 is controlled to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around its axis, and the handle lateral handle portion 21 is configured to output a control instruction according to its rotation angle position. Third, the handle grip portion 23 may be configured with a key switch, and the key switch is configured to output a control instruction according to its key state (such as pressed and popped up, long press and short press).

[0020] Preferably, the optimal position of the control handle 2 is located close to the front half arm distance of the driver's side to improve the control comfort and durability.

[0021] Preferably, the handle gripping portion 23 has an irregular structure.

[0022] Preferably, any one, any two or all three of the handle transverse grip portion 21, the handle vertical shaft portion 22 and the handle grip portion 23 are covered by a colored non-plastic material layer. The non-plastic material layer has a certain friction resistance to ensure its wear resistance and operability. Furthermore, the non-plastic material layer of the handle grip portion 23 is formed with concave-convex patterns or concave-convex points to enhance its friction and improve control reliability. Furthermore, the non-plastic material layer of the handle transverse grip portion 21, the non-plastic material layer of the handle vertical shaft portion 22 and the non-plastic material layer of the handle grip portion 23 are independent of each other and assembled separately to improve assembly convenience.
