Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
1, 3, and 4 are a perspective view, a side view when the carrying sheet is in the first position, and a side view when the carrying sheet is in the second position, respectively. .
The turning dynamic simulation apparatus is installed on the rack 5 (see FIG. 6 or 7) of the viewing equipment.
The rack 5 has a first position P1 and a second position P2 opposite to the first position P1. The first position P1 is a position where the viewer gets into the swing dynamic simulation apparatus, and the second position P2 is an viewing position where the viewer is sent to the actual experience. That is, the viewer gets into the turning dynamic simulation device from the first position P1, and the turning dynamic simulation device sends the viewer to the second position P2.

The turning dynamic simulation apparatus includes a fixed base 1, a movement mechanism 2, a carrying sheet 3, and a turning mechanism 4.
The fixed base 1 is used for mounting and fixing the turning dynamic simulation apparatus on the rack 5 of the viewing equipment, and the arm 10 is installed in the vertical direction and used for the arrangement of the motion mechanism 2.
The motion mechanism 2 is a motion mechanism with six degrees of freedom, and mainly includes a fixed plate 20, a movable plate 21, and a plurality of telescopic rods 22 that connect the fixed plate 20 and the movable plate 21, and a Stewart platform (Stewart Platform). The motion mechanism having a plurality of degrees of freedom is configured. Since the structure of the movement mechanism 2 is conventionally well-known, description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The carrying seat 3 is used for a human body (that is, an observer) to sit on it, and a mounting space 30 is formed on the carrying seat 3 for the human body to sit on. An arbitrary position on the back side of the mounting space 30 is fixed to the movable plate 21 of the motion mechanism 2, and the fixed plate 20 of the motion mechanism 2 is fixed to the arm 10 erected on the fixed base 1. Thereby, the carrying sheet 3 can be fixed by the movement mechanism 2 to be in a suspended state, and at the same time, the movement mechanism 2 does not affect the visual field on the front side of the carrying sheet 3. In addition, since the carrying sheet 3 extends from the arm 10 in the lateral direction, the height space occupied by the whole is reduced, which is advantageous for the layout and installation of the viewing scene and the surrounding environment.

As shown in FIG. 2, the turning mechanism 4 is installed on the rack 5, and the fixed base 1 is moved by the turning mechanism 4 to turn the plane, and the carrying sheet 3 is moved as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. Thus, the rack 5 can be swung between the first position P1 and the second position P2.
More specifically, the rack 5 includes a lower plate 50, an upper plate 51, and an upright column 52 that supports the upper plate 51 on the lower plate 50.
A lifting platform 53 is installed at a position corresponding to the first position P1 of the lower plate 50, and the second position P2 is located outside the lower plate 50 in a hollow space.

The turning mechanism 4 is installed on the lower plate 50 and installed below the fixed base 1.
Further, the turning mechanism 4 includes a drive unit 40. The drive unit 40 can be a control motor, and can control the turning mechanism 4 via the transmission wheel assembly 400 to turn the fixed base 1 within a certain angle or range.
The transmission wheel assembly 400 may include a first transmission wheel 401 connected to the fixed base 1 and a second transmission wheel 402 that meshes with the first transmission wheel 401 and is moved by the drive unit 40. The first transmission wheel 401 can be a large gear or a large friction wheel, and the second transmission wheel 402 can be a relatively small small gear or a small friction wheel.
Further, a brake device 41 may be installed in the turning mechanism 4. The brake device 41 includes an operation member 410 and a brake member 411 installed between the turning mechanism 4 and the fixed base 1, respectively. The turning mechanism 4 places the fixed base 1 in a fixed position (first position P1 or second position P2). When the vehicle is swung to the right, a braking effect is provided to prevent the swivel mechanism 4 from continuously swinging or swiveling and affecting the safety of the viewer. The brake can be immediately applied to stop the turn.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the turning mechanism 4 may be installed on the lower surface of the upper plate 51 of the rack 5. That is, the turning mechanism 4 is installed above the fixed base 1 and is arranged in the rack 5 in a form in which the entire turning dynamic simulation apparatus is suspended.

FIG. 6 shows a viewing facility equipped with a turning dynamic simulation apparatus.
The viewing facility includes a rack 5 and a screen 6.
At least one of the swiveling dynamic simulation devices is installed on the rack 5. Since the structure of the turning dynamic simulation apparatus is as described above, the description thereof is omitted here.
The rack 5 can be further divided into a plurality of layers, and a plurality of swiveling dynamic simulation devices are arranged side by side between each layer so that more swiveling dynamic simulation devices are installed on the rack 5 and more. May be used at the same time. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 7, the rack 5 includes a first position P1 and a second position P2 opposite to the first position P1 at positions corresponding to the respective turning dynamic simulation apparatuses. At the same time, a plurality of racks 5 may be added and installed with their backs facing each other.

The screen 6 can display the screen for the viewer, (or) reproduce sound, or display virtual reality, and is disposed relative to the second position P <b> 2 of the rack 5.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, when there are a plurality of racks 5, the same number of screens 6 can be installed.

  The above is description of the Example of this invention, This does not limit the scope of the right of this invention, The change which does not deviate from a claim is contained in the scope of this invention.
