Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for flexibly controllable movement of people or objects.
  • applications are the movement of people for playful, sporting, educational or therapeutic purposes, the moving of components for testing and the movement of vessels to mix liquid and / or powdery substances arranged therein.
  • the person practicing stands on a plate which rests on the floor by means of two runners bent in a vertical plane, so that the plate can rock over these runners.
  • the runners can be adjusted in position, which makes the rocking behavior of the plate softer or more abrupt.
  • the person standing on the plate is encouraged to balance so that the plate remains horizontal.
  • An advantage of this device is that it is simple, inexpensive and space-saving.
  • the disadvantage is that it allows only a single degree of freedom of movement, namely rocking motion in a vertical plane.
  • Another disadvantage is that the characteristic curve of the rocking movement can not be adjusted during operation of the device.
  • DE 100 04 785 B4 shows a standing surface, which can be pivoted about two horizontally spaced mutually perpendicular horizontal axes in a limited angular range. Movement of the plate can be acted upon with a mechanical damping. The height of the axles above the base and the movement damping are adjustable. The angular deflection can be visualized to the user.
  • This device is relatively simple and also inexpensive. Compared to the aforementioned device, it offers a further degree of freedom of movement and an adjustable damping. The disadvantage is that it takes up relatively space, and that it offers only minor challenges to the sense of balance.
  • devices which, in cooperation with computers and active drive elements, areas on which a human being is located, can move in space up to all six degrees of freedom, and in addition still display images on screens, for example, of trips in virtual spaces , or informative messages about motor conditions. Movement and images can be selectively interactively influenced by the person using the equipment, or they simply walk off in the manner of a film, thus exerting their effect on the person.
  • Such devices are for example used for training purposes. mulatoren of vehicles. In a somewhat economical execution, they are also still very expensive playground equipment with which, for example, in games rooms or at fairs a so-called "virtual reality" against payment of a fee for a few minutes is easy to experience.
  • US 5 629 594 shows a device which, in conjunction with a computer, a surface on which a human being is located, can accelerate movement within a limited range in order to detect movements taking place in the computer-simulated reality to make tangible the objective reality of the computer user.
  • the movement is enforced by means of electric motors, gears and racks. This is extremely expensive.
  • the dynamically controlled electric motors require frequency converters, which cause considerable problems in normal power supply networks.
  • the inventor has set itself the task to provide a device for moving people or other objects, which is itself in a place, and has a moving surface on which the person or the object is located .
  • the range of motion should be in the order of centimeters to decimetres, the frequency range in periodic movements should reach at small amplitudes up to a few hertz.
  • the device should be able to actively pass through various presettable motion sequences in several degrees of freedom of movement. It should be possible to control the motion sequences by a computer, and it should be given the opportunity to measure the respective state of motion and further process the measurement result data.
  • the new device Compared to known devices that already exist for this purpose, the new device should be significantly cheaper. In addition, it should be possible to design it so that it takes up less space (when assembled), and that it weighs much less than the weight that it can move properly. This is an essential prerequisite for a possible use as a home therapy device.
  • piston-free pneumatic actuators as active, controllably adjustable-length adjusting elements which act between the fixed and the moving part of the device.
  • Piston-free pneumatic actuators in this sense means actuators which consist of a hose-like, flexible middle part and two rigid, plate-like or sleeve-like end pieces, of which at least one is provided with an air passage. in which elements, for example in the form of nets, straps or wires, are built in which hardly stretch when tensioned.According to how these tension-resistant elements are aligned, there are piston-free pneumatic actuators which shorten during inflation (eg GB 1331756 Trish Energetics, published 1973), ie apply a tensile force to the outside, or extend, that is, apply a compressive force to the outside, piston-free pneumatic actuators, which apply a tensile force to the outside, are also referred to as "air muscle”. Piston-free pneumatic actuators, which apply a compressive force to the outside are often referred to as bellows cylinder.
  • piston-free pneumatic actuators have no static friction. Since piston-free pneumatic actuators in their longitudinal direction only in one direction can exert a force, so either only a tensile force or only a compressive force, either two oppositely acting such actuators are used for each direction of movement, or it is a combination of a piston-free pneumatic actuator and a opposite acting, preloaded elastic spring used.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device according to the invention in side view. The representation is limited to those essential for understanding components.
  • controllable variable-length control elements are exclusively pulling piston-free pneumatic actuators.
  • Fig. 2 shows essential elements of another device according to the invention in side view, in which again only pulling piston-free pneumatic actuators are used as active, controllable variable-length control elements.
  • Fig. 3 shows essential elements of a third device according to the invention in side view, being used as active, controllable variable-length control elements turn only pulling piston-free pneumatic actuators.
  • the power transmission from the piston-free pneumatic actuators on the surface to be moved takes place here also by means of cables and pulleys.
  • the surface to be moved can be moved in further degrees of freedom.
  • Fig. 4 shows a very simple in construction fourth device according to the invention in side view.
  • oppressive piston-free pneumatic actuators are used.
  • In the opposite direction is worked with pulling, preloaded elastic springs.
  • Fig. 5 shows a possible sequence of information processing in the adaptation of the actual position of the surface to be moved to a desired position.
  • the individual fields contain intermediate results of the information processing.
  • the arrowheaded lines mean the acquisition of data from sensors, or calculations.
  • a line is a hose for the air supply from a compressor in the piston-free pneumatic actuator.
  • Another line carries electrical signals from a control unit to the controllable valve 3.1, which accordingly either air in the actuators or air flow from the actuator to the outside, or seals everything.
  • a third line transmits electronically represented measurement data regarding the length of the actuator and the gas pressure in the actuator, possibly also with respect to the force applied to the control unit.
  • Piston-free pneumatic actuators equipped with the corresponding sensors for length, pressure and force are today standard products available in standardized quality.
  • the face 1 of Fig. 1 When the face 1 of Fig. 1 is provided with such vertical-movement engaging points at three remote locations, the face can be moved in two degrees of freedom of rotation (about horizontal axes) and linearly in the vertical direction.
  • the device may be provided with a guide 6 which forms a stop against such movements.
  • the device of FIG. 2 is extended by a cable horizontally oriented at the force application point 1.1 for the plate 1 to be moved, in which pulling piston-free pneumatic actuators are again arranged at both ends. This also linear movements in the horizontal direction are possible.
  • the plate 1 to be moved is arranged above the uppermost deflection roller.
  • the point of application 1.1 for the forces exerted by the cables 13 to the moving plate 1 is fixed to a rigidly projecting from this part 1.2.
  • the plate 1 to be moved relative to the base 2 is relatively high, but does not need to be surmounted by any other parts of the device.
  • a guide 6 may be provided, which prevents movement of the plate to be moved parallel to the base plate 2. At this guide 6 and the stop for the lowest possible position of the plate to be moved can be formed. This construction is very simple, and can also be made very low.
  • the pressing pistonless pneumatic actuators 7 must be made somewhat stronger than a design in which the elastic springs 8 are replaced by controllable, pulling pistonless pneumatic actuators, since they not only have to lift the load on the plate to be moved, but additionally also have to overcome the tensile force of the springs 8. If you can get along with somewhat limited dynamics, you can simply omit the pulling, elastic springs 8.
  • pivotal movements about a vertical axis may be made possible by making the base in two parts, with an upper part rotatably mounted on the lower part on a vertical axis.
  • pistonless pneumatic actuators and elastic springs in their movement no rubbing parts, in particular no sliding sealing surface and thus have no static friction, despite the elasticity of the volume of the driving pressure medium air, even small gentle movements without jerking can be performed.
  • control parameters such as, for example, Gain or attenuation constant to the mass that is on the plate to be moved.
  • the required mass determination can be done at run time, without the need for additional sensors, by inferring from the measurement of the length of the pistonless pneumatic actuators and the measurement of the pressure prevailing in them on the force applied to them and thus on the plate pressing weight ,
  • the piston-free pneumatic actuators are supplied with compressed air by a compressor (not shown here). To relax, the air is simply drained. The exact control of a piston-free pneumatic actuator via the adjustable valve 3.1.
  • the compressor is supplemented with a small storage volume for compressed air, because it can then be designed for easy low power. The compressor is thus transported by a person. For operation, only the usual household electrical power is needed.
  • FIG. 5 shows a possible sequence of information processing in the adaptation of the actual position of the surface to be moved to a desired position. This process must be run through a controlled change in position of the moving surface 1, per second a few times, for example, about 100 times.
  • the major part of this information processing concerns on the one hand the conversions between the position of the surface to be moved and the lengths of the individual pistonless pneumatic actuators, and on the other hand the determination of the required pressure changes in the individual pistonless pneumatic actuators for desired length changes.
  • the necessary hardware, ie sensors and data processing equipment are readily available in the required performance. Only once per design of devices according to the invention some programming effort is required to ensure the relevant right course.
  • the desired value of the position of the plate to be moved 1 can be specified by a higher-level program, which should determine the tactile to the user character of the device.
  • a higher-level program which should determine the tactile to the user character of the device.
  • the following behaviors can be set by the higher-level program:
  • the superordinate program does not need to process current measurement results about the state of the devices. If interactive simulations are to be experienced, the higher-level program must also process current measurement results on the state of the devices and include this in the specification of the setpoint values for the position of the surface to be moved. In this way, it is also possible for the device to give feedback on forces exerted by the person using the moving object on it. This can be very valuable in therapeutic applications, for example to train the stability of otherwise fall-prone patients, or when testing components up to the load limit.
  • the device according to the invention is outstandingly suitable as a game, training and therapy device. It can be made so simple, inexpensive, safe, light and small that it is not only for commercial use, but also for a significant number of private users in their home affordable and usable. Alternatively, it is so easy to transport that it can be used as a short-term loaner.
  • the device according to the invention in conjunction with a computer which can also be used independently, on which the above-mentioned superordinate program can run, and which also supplies the appropriate images of the motion situations on the screen belonging to it.
  • a computer which can also be used independently, on which the above-mentioned superordinate program can run, and which also supplies the appropriate images of the motion situations on the screen belonging to it.

However, these can also be devices or objects which are to be moved without people on the device, for example for test purposes or for mixing substances. This increases the breadth of the possible field of use of the device according to the invention, which in turn increases the achievable sales quantities, and the unit prices can be lower. In applications where it is all about jolting accelerations, compared to other actuators lower position accuracy of the piston-free pneumatic actuators is completely sufficient.
