And a driver (drive circuit) 13 for driving the pitch rotation servomotor 12 and the bank rotation servomotor 11.
And a driver (drive circuit) 14 for driving the pitch rotation servomotor 12. Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit will be described.

The base 2 serves as a base of the flight simulator apparatus 1 and has a frame shape. As shown in FIG. 4, a column 21 is erected at the rear end of the base 2, and a bank rotation shaft 31 formed behind the bank rotation unit 3 is provided at the upper end of the column 21. A supporting bearing 22 is provided.

The bank rotation shaft 31 of the bank rotation unit 3 is rotatably supported by the base 2 by bearings 22 along the front-rear direction and in a substantially horizontal posture. Thereby, the bank rotation part 3 is rotatable around the bank rotation center line 100 along the front-back direction.

As described above, when the bank rotation unit 3 rotates around the bank rotation center line 100 with respect to the base 2, the cockpit 4 supported by the bank rotation unit 3 moves in the left-right direction (see FIG. 5). (In the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 3) within a predetermined angle range.

At the front end of the bank rotation shaft 31 of the bank rotation unit 3, a pair of left and right arms 32 and 33 are installed so as to protrude forward. As shown in FIG. 5, bearings 34 and 35 for supporting a pitch rotating shaft 41 installed below the cockpit 4 are provided above the front ends of these arms 32 and 33, respectively. That is, the pitch rotation shaft 41 installed below the cockpit 4 is rotatably supported by the bank rotation unit 3 by the bearings 34 and 35. As a result, the cockpit 4 is rotatable around the pitch rotation center line 200 with respect to the bank rotation unit 3.

Pitch rotation center line 200 (pitch rotation axis 4
1), when the bank rotation unit 3 is not inclined with respect to the base 2 (the state shown in FIGS. 4 and 5), the bank rotation unit 3 is located substantially horizontally along the horizontal direction.

With such a configuration, the cockpit 4 is rotatable within a predetermined angle range in the front-back direction (the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. 4).

The bank rotation unit 3 rotates about the bank rotation center line 100 with respect to the base 2, and furthermore, the cockpit 4
Is rotated about the pitch rotation center line 200 with respect to the bank rotation unit 3, whereby the inclination of the cockpit 4 in the left-right direction and the inclination in the front-rear direction are combined.

And a bank rotation servomotor 11 that is driven to rotate through the motor. The rotation of the bank rotation servomotor 11 causes the cockpit 4 to rotate in the left-right direction with respect to the base 2.

Further, as shown in FIG.
The arm 33 on the right side of FIG.
Pitch rotation servomotor 1 driven to rotate via 21
2 are installed. This pitch rotation servo motor 1
As the 2 rotates, the cockpit 4 rotates in the front-rear direction with respect to the base 2.

The bank rotation servomotor 11 and the pitch rotation servomotor 12 are respectively

The cockpit 4 is covered with a cover 42 except for the rear side. As a result, the pilot cannot see the inside of the room or the like, so the scenery horizon (horizontal line) of the image displayed on the display 5 described later
Is more likely to be felt as an actual horizon. Therefore, when the horizon of the scenery displayed on the display 5 is tilted with respect to the display 5,
The horizon of the scenery doesn't move, I feel like I'm tilted.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cover 42 of the cockpit 4

The computer 6 is installed and housed in a computer housing 24 provided on the left side of the column 21 of the base 2.

As shown in FIG. 6, the computer 6
A video card 62 includes a motherboard 61, a video card 62, a control board 63, and a CPU 64.
The control board 63 is connected to the CPU 64 via a signal line.

The video card 62 is connected to the display 5. The control board 63 includes a driver 13 for driving the bank rotation servomotor 11.
And a driver 14 for driving the pitch rotation servomotor 12.

A keyboard (input means) 50 for performing various inputs to the computer 6 is provided on the motherboard 61.
Is connected.

Such a computer 6 can execute commercially available flight simulator software 7. The commercially available flight simulator software 7 is not particularly limited. For example, “Flight Simulator 2000” manufactured by Microsoft Corporation and “Flight Simulato
r 98 "and the like.

Such commercially available flight simulator software 7 has been remarkably developed in recent years, and it is possible to simulate (reproduce) the flight and operation of an actual airplane very faithfully. It's cheap enough to buy. According to the present invention, by using the numerical data extracted from the execution results of such commercially available flight simulator software 7 and inclining the cockpit 4 accordingly, the pilot can be operated in an actual airplane. A flight simulator device that allows the user to experience a close feeling can be realized with a simple configuration. As a result, it is possible to provide the device at a significantly lower cost than the conventional large and complicated flight simulator device.

On the motherboard 61, input devices 40 such as a pedal 45, a control stick 46, and other operation units 47 are provided.
They are connected via an interface (not shown).
As a result, the pedal 45 and the control stick 46 operated by the pilot
Operation signals from the above are input to the CPU 64.

The CPU 64 executes the flight simulator software 7 based on operation signals from the input device 40 and the like.

The CPU 64 that has executed the flight simulator software 7 outputs, as a result of the execution, data used for calculation for displaying an image.

The video card 62 performs a predetermined process based on the data input from the CPU 64 and outputs an image signal to the display 5.

The display 5 displays various instruments and scenery (landscape) based on the image signal from the video card 62. For example, the central display 51
7, a posture indicator (horizontal angle) 60, as shown in FIG.
Various instruments (instrument panels) including the turning slip meter 70 and the altimeter 80 and the like and the front field of view are displayed, the left display 52 displays a diagonally left front field of view, and the right display 53 displays the diagonally right field. The view ahead is displayed. In the present invention, the display 5 only needs to display at least an instrument panel. For example, the scenery may be configured to be projected on an external screen by a projector.

Numerical data output from the CPU 64 and used for calculation for display on the instrument panel includes a posture indicator 6 of instruments displayed on the central display 51.
Bank angle data b used to represent the bank angle with 0
(For example, in Microsoft FS2000, the variable PLANE_BANK_DEG
REES), pitch angle data p (for example, in Microsoft FS2000, a variable PLANE_PITCH_DEGREES) used to represent the pitch angle with the attitude indicator 60, and ball position data t used to represent the position of the ball of the orbiting slip meter 70.
(For example, in Microsoft FS2000, the variable TURN_COORDINA
TOR_BALL_POS) and altitude data a used to represent altitude with altimeter 80 (for example, in Microsoft FS2000, variable
PLANE_ALTITUDE).

Among the data input to the video card 62, in addition to these, various types of data used to represent the flight speed of the airframe indicated by the speedometer, the propeller rotation speed indicated by the propeller tachometer, and the like. Numerical data is included, and data for displaying scenery is also included. In FIG. 6, these are collectively shown as other data r.

As shown in FIG. 8, the posture indicator 60 includes:
There is a simulated horizontal line 601, and the simulated horizontal line 601 moves in accordance with the attitude of the aircraft, thereby displaying the pitch angle and the bank angle of the aircraft.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the simulated horizontal line 601 moves downward, it indicates that the pitch angle is 10 ° in the direction of raising the nose. Pitch angle data p
Are numerical data used for displaying the pitch angle on the attitude indicator 60.

The bank angle of the fuselage is indicated by the inclination of the simulated horizontal line 601. The bank angle data b is numerical data used for displaying the bank angle on the attitude indicator 60.

As shown in FIG. 10, the turning slip meter 70 has a ball 70 that moves left and right according to the amount of skidding of the aircraft.
1 and an airplane symbol 702 indicating the direction and size of the bank. The term "slip" as used herein means flying (turning) in a state where the flight direction and the direction of the nose are shifted left and right.

In an actual airplane, during a turn, a passenger receives a combined force of gravity and centrifugal force due to the turn. During a normal turn, this resultant force is directed toward the seat, so that the pilot receives no lateral force (hereinafter "lateral G"). The ball 701 of the turning slip meter 70 receives a similar force, and is located at the center during normal turning. When the skid occurs, the operator feels the side G, and the ball 701 of the turning slip meter 70 moves left and right in response to the outside slip and the inside slip, and indicates the skid of the aircraft.

For example, as shown in FIG.
When 1 moves to the left, it indicates that the aircraft is sliding to the left. The ball position data t is stored in the turning slip meter 7.
Numerical data used to display the position of the ball 701 at 0.

As shown in FIG. 12, the altimeter 80 indicates the barometric altitude. For example, the state shown in FIG. 12 indicates that the altitude is 6,220 feet. The altitude data a is numerical data used for displaying the altitude in the altimeter 80.

As shown in FIG. 6, the control board 63
Pitch angle data p among numerical data output from PU64 and used for calculation for instrument panel display
, Ball position data t, and altitude data a. That is, pitch angle data p, ball position data t, and altitude data a are input to the control board 63, respectively.

The control board 63 uses the pitch angle data p among these input data to determine the control target value of the front and rear inclination of the cockpit 4. That is, the control board 63 performs a predetermined calculation based on the pitch angle data p, and outputs a control signal to the driver 14 that drives the pitch rotation servomotor 12 according to the result.

The driver 14 performs predetermined processing such as amplification on the control signal input from the control board 63, and outputs a control signal (control voltage) for driving the pitch rotation servomotor 12. As a result, the pitch rotation servomotor 12 is driven, and as a result, the cockpit 4 rotates in the front-rear direction with respect to the base 2 (bank rotation unit 3).

In this manner, the inclination of the cockpit 4 in the front-rear direction is controlled in accordance with the pitch angle of the aircraft indicated by the attitude indicator 60 in the display 5. Thereby, the pilot can experience the inclination in the front-back direction corresponding to the horizon (horizontal line) of the scenery displayed on the display 5 as the execution result of the flight simulator software 7, and experience the same feeling as the operation of the actual aircraft. it can.

In the control board 63, the control target value of the inclination posture of the cockpit 4 in the left-right direction is determined by using the ball position data t of the input data. That is, the control board 63 performs a predetermined calculation based on the ball position data t, and outputs a control signal to the driver 13 that drives the bank rotation servomotor 11 according to the result.

The driver 13 performs predetermined processing such as amplification on the control signal input from the control board 63 and outputs a control signal (control voltage) for driving the bank rotation servomotor 11. As a result, the bank rotation servomotor 11 is driven, and as a result, the cockpit 4 rotates in the left-right direction together with the bank rotation unit 3 with respect to the base 2.

As described above, the inclination of the cockpit 4 in the left-right direction is controlled in accordance with the position of the ball 701 of the turning slip meter 70 in the display 5.

Here, it is easily conceivable to control the left-right inclination of the cockpit 4 based on the bank angle data b used to represent the bank angle indicated by the attitude indicator 60. However, as described above, in the present invention, the inclination position of the cockpit 4 in the left-right direction is controlled by using the ball position data t used to represent the position of the ball 701 of the turning slip meter 70. I have. Thereby, in the flight simulator apparatus 1, as described below, the operator can experience a feeling closer to actual operation.

That is, unlike the present invention, the attitude indicator 6
If it is determined that the control target value of the left-right inclination posture of the cockpit 4 is determined by using the bank angle data b used to represent the bank angle indicated by 0, the ball 70
The cockpit 4 tilts in the left-right direction even in a normal turning state without skidding where 1 is located at the center. As a result, the driver feels the horizontal G, which is different from the feeling experienced in actual airplane operation.

In an actual airplane, in a normal turning state without skidding, the lateral force applied to the operator by the inclination of the body is offset by the centrifugal force caused by the turning. Therefore, the direction of the resultant force of the centrifugal force and the gravity due to the turning of the airplane is downward (toward the lower side of the airframe) with respect to the airframe, and the passenger of the airplane does not feel the side G. Therefore, the posture indicator 60
If the control target value of the left and right inclination posture of the cockpit 4 is determined by using the bank angle data b representing the bank angle indicated by, a sense different from the experience experienced in actual operation is generated. Although there is no problem in the case of a game-like flight simulator device for entertainment, it is not suitable for flight training of a real machine.

On the other hand, in the present invention, ball position data t representing the position of the ball
Is used to determine the control target value of the tilting posture of the cockpit 4 in the left-right direction, so that the same feeling as in actual airplane operation can be obtained. For example, even when the aircraft is banking and turning on a flight simulation, the turning slip meter 7
When the ball 701 of the 0 is located at the center, the cockpit 4 is controlled so as not to incline in the left-right direction, and the driver does not feel the side G as in the actual machine.

When the ball 701 of the turning slip meter 70 is moving to the left or right from the center, that is, when the body is skidding and turning, the control is performed according to the moving direction and the moving amount of the ball 701. The seat 4 is inclined in the left-right direction. As a result, the operator in the cockpit 4 tries to fall down because gravity acts in a direction inclined with respect to the seat of the cockpit 4, and the force to fall down is given to the pilot. Can be made to feel (illusion) that the side G is turning.

As described above, the flight simulator 1
Thus, it is possible for the operator to experience a feeling similar to the operation of a real machine. Therefore, the flight simulator device of the present invention is suitable not only for entertainment but also for flight training of actual aircraft.

In the present embodiment, control is performed so as not to incline the cockpit 4 in the left-right direction during the takeoff run. As a result, it is possible to eliminate a sense of incongruity felt by the driver, and to experience a more natural sense. This will be described below.

In an actual airplane, a side G occurs as a result of the meandering of the aircraft due to a propeller effect or the like during the takeoff at the time of takeoff, and the ball 701 of the orbiting slipmeter 70 moves left and right. The simulation is reproduced by the simulator software 7. When this phenomenon occurs, according to the above-described control, the cockpit 4 tilts in the left-right direction according to the position of the ball 701.

However, since the pilot has just got into the flight simulator device 1 during the takeoff run, the feeling of standing on the floor remains strong. For this reason, when the cockpit 4 is inclined, the driver tends to feel that the cockpit 4 is inclined without illusion that only a force is applied in the lateral direction. And while riding on the ground (runway), there is a strong notion that the plane does not lean,
The pilot feels strange.

Therefore, by controlling the driver's seat 4 not to tilt in the left-right direction during the run at takeoff, it is possible to eliminate a sense of incongruity felt by the driver, and to experience a more natural feeling.

In order to perform such control, the control board 63 uses altitude data a used to represent the altitude indicated by the altimeter 80. That is, altitude data a
Is equal to the numerical value of the runway about to take off, it is determined that the takeoff run is in progress, and the ball 701 is determined regardless of the value of the ball position data t representing the position of the ball 701 of the orbiting slip meter 70. Is output to the bank rotation servomotor 11 as in the case where the is located at the center.
As a result, the cockpit 4 is controlled so as not to incline in the left-right direction during the run at takeoff.

It is preferable that the same control as described above is performed even during the gliding at the time of landing, so that the cockpit 4 is not tilted in the left-right direction.

In the present invention, the control for not inclining the cockpit 4 in the left-right direction during the takeoff and landing as described above may not be performed.

Further, in the present embodiment, altitude data a is used to know takeoff and landing. However, other than altitude data a may be used.

Although the flight simulator apparatus of the present invention has been described with reference to the illustrated embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and the components constituting the flight simulator apparatus can exhibit similar functions. It can be replaced with any configuration.

For example, the motion mechanism is not limited to one that can only incline the cockpit in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction. For example, the motion mechanism further includes rotation in the yaw direction, movement in the front-rear direction, movement in the left-right direction, and It may be one that can move in any direction (one that can be controlled in six axes).

The actuator for tilting the cockpit is not limited to the servomotor, but may be, for example, a hydraulic cylinder, a hydraulic motor, a pneumatic cylinder, or the like.

The cockpit is not limited to a single seat, but may have two or more seats.

[0077]

As described above, according to the present invention, a commercially available flight simulator software can be used with a simple configuration so that the operator can experience a feeling similar to actual airplane operation. Compared to a large and complicated flight simulator device, it can be manufactured at a significantly lower cost. This makes it possible to spread it to individuals and small businesses.

In particular, by controlling the inclination of the cockpit in the left-right direction based on the data representing the ball position of the turning slip meter on the simulation, the driver does not feel the lateral G during normal turning as in the case of the actual operation. And the like, a bodily sensation that is true to the actual machine can be obtained. This, of course, for entertainment,
It can also be suitably used for flight training of actual aircraft.

Further, if control is performed so that the cockpit is not tilted in the horizontal direction during takeoff or landing, the driver does not feel uncomfortable during takeoff or landing. , A more natural feeling of operation can be experienced.
