Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an earthquake experience device that allows an artificially caused earthquake to be experienced in a room, and more particularly, to an earthquake experience device that allows an interior room to be experienced up and down, left and right, and tilted to experience earthquakes of various seismic intensity. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
As conventional earthquake experience devices, there are only devices that can experience simple vibrations, and there is no device that can experience earthquakes of various seismic intensities with a constant seismic intensity. In addition, as means for vibrating the inner room, the four corners are supported by an air cylinder, the inner room is vibrated up and down by the expansion and contraction drive of the air cylinder, and a roll air cylinder is provided to give the inner room a roll. Although an earthquake experience device was also considered, this device supports the inner room with an air cylinder, so it does not cause a slight vibration even when stationary, and it is not possible to experience an actual earthquake, and the inner room can be easily There was a drawback that it could not be tilted.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the purpose of the present invention is to make the inner room oscillate up and down, to the left and to the right, and to make it tilt, making it a complicated movement. Furthermore, the object is to provide an earthquake experience device that can experience the intensity of the seismic intensity depending on the place of the ride, and can give a complex vibration to the user. Another object of the present invention is to provide a seismic experience device that can experience an earthquake close to that of an actual earthquake because it does not feel a room shake when stationary.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0008]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the earthquake experience apparatus of the present invention has an inner room 1 provided with a seat for a person to be experienced, and an outer room 2 surrounding the inner room 1, The inner room 1 is configured to be vibrated by the driving means.
[0009]
A support shaft 3 that supports the inner chamber 1 is disposed on the upper side of the ceiling of the inner chamber 1 in the longitudinal direction, and the shaft 4 fixed to one end of the support shaft 3 vibrates the inner chamber 1 up and down. For this purpose, a pitch drive means 5 is connected, and a roll drive means 6 for reciprocating the inner chamber 1 in the horizontal direction is provided.
[0010]
The inner room 1 is formed in a sealed space, and a door 8 is provided at the entrance / exit 21. A seat 10 is disposed on the floor surface 1 a of the inner room 1, and a handrail 9 is fixed. The seat 10 includes a first seat 10a formed in a U shape in a plan view and a second seat 10b surrounded by the first seat 10a. A handrail 9 is disposed between the first and second seats 10a and 10b. A clock and a sound device are usually provided on the inner wall surface of the inner room 1.
[0011]
The outer room 2 surrounding the inner room 1 may be constituted by a frame having only a wall surface, or may be constituted by a room having a ceiling. A signboard or a picture may be drawn on the outside of the wall surface of the outer room 2. The outer room 2 hides the inner room 1 from the outside, and the vibration of the inner room 1 is not seen from the outside.
[0012]
A support shaft 3 that supports the inner chamber 1 is disposed over the longitudinal direction of the inner chamber 1 above the ceiling. A gantry 11 fixed to the ground is disposed outside the wall surface of the inner room 1 on the door 8 side. One end of the support shaft 3 is pivotally supported on the upper end of the gantry 11, and the other end of the support shaft 3 is fixed to the outside of the wall on the other end side of the inner chamber 1. It is pivotally supported at the upper end. As the fixed-side bearing 12, for example, a pillow ball can be used. The shaft 4 fixed to the other end side of the inner chamber 1 has an oblique member 13 and a lateral member 14.
[0013]
The means for driving the inner room 1 having such a configuration is configured as follows. Below the transverse member 14 of the shaft 4, two air cylinders 5, 5 for driving up and down are arranged on both sides of the transverse member 14. The lower end of the air cylinder 5 is pivotally mounted on the floor, and the upper end of the air cylinder 5 is pivotally mounted on the horizontal member 14. Further, air cylinders 6 and 6 for laterally pushing drive are respectively disposed on both sides of the lateral member 14, and a base portion of the air cylinder 6 is pivotally attached to a wall surface of the outer chamber 2 and is a rod tip of the air cylinder 6. The drive unit is pivotally attached to the inner chamber 1 or the lateral member 14.
[0014]
Further, between the lateral member 14 and the outer room 2, cushion means 16 for holding the inner room 1 in a predetermined position while allowing vibrations of the inner room 1 (up and down, roll and tilt vibrations). Is provided. The cushion means 16 can be constituted by a compression spring disposed inside. One end portion of the cushion means 16 is pivotally attached to the wall surface of the outer chamber 2, and the other end portion is pivotally attached to the lateral member 14 or the inner chamber 1. An air compressor 17 and a sub tank 18 for driving the air cylinder are disposed in the outer chamber 2 as shown in FIG. 2, and these are connected by an air supply pipe.
[0015]
An attendant room 20 having an operation box 19 provided therein is arranged near the entrance and exit, and an attendant can control and operate the vibration state of the inner room 1 here.
[0016]
Next, the operation of the earthquake experience apparatus according to the present invention will be described.
[0017]
When an experienced person enters the inner room 1 from the entrances 21 and 22 provided in the outer room 2 and the inner room 1, the attendant operates the operation box 19 to control the vibration of the inner room 1. The air compressor 17 is driven and / or the air valve of the air supply pipe is opened / closed so that the laterally pushing air cylinder 6 and / or the vertical driving air cylinder 5 is extended and retracted. Then, the shaft 4 fixed to the wall surface of the inner room 1 is pushed by the air cylinders 5 and 6, and the inner room moves up and down and laterally. Here, by operating the air cylinders 5 and 6, the inner chamber 1 can be given a horizontal inclination, or a roll can be generated, and a vertical inclination can be given. Since one end portion of the support shaft 3 is pivotally supported by the upper portion of the gantry 11, the degree of vibration of the inner room 1 at the entrances 21 and 22 side is smaller than that at the back side (air cylinder side) of the inner room 1, The experienced person can select the degree of vibration according to his / her preference and age.
[0018]
When the driving of the air cylinders 5 and 6 is stopped, the upper portion on one end side of the inner chamber 1 is pivotally supported by the gantry 11 as described above, and is held by the cushion means 16 on the other end side of the inner chamber 1. As a result, the inner room 1 is stably maintained, and the experienced person does not feel much shaking.
[0019]
Simultaneously with the vibration of the inner room, the effect at the time of the earthquake may be given to the experienced person by sound, vision, or the like. The driving means may be hydraulically driven or may be driven by an electric motor or the like.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the inner room can be moved in the vertical and horizontal directions by the driving means, and can be further tilted, so that complex and complex vibrations can be given to the subject. Moreover, you can experience the intensity of the seismic intensity depending on where you ride. In other words, when riding on the door side, there is little shaking, and when riding on the back side (air cylinder side) of the inner room, it shakes violently. Furthermore, since the inner room is surrounded by the outer room, the operation of the inner room is not visible and the inner room that vibrates from the outside is not touched, which is safe.
