Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable execution of a motion approximately similar to that of an actual horse by a method wherein when an artificial horse body is moved forward, a neck is lowered and a head is raised, and when it moved backward, the neck is raised and the head is lowered. CONSTITUTION:When an artificial horse body 1 effects a motion, for example, in a forward direction, a rope 34 connected to a horizontal bar 21 is pulled in a direction shown by an arrow mark F1, and a lever 32 is rotated in the direction shown by an arrow mark F2 against the energizing force of a spring 33. As a result, first and second links 36 and 38 are moved in the directions shown by arrow marks F3 and F4. Since an extension piece 4A of a neck part 4 connected to the end part of the first link 36 through a pin 37 is pulled in the same direction, the neck part 4 is rotated in the direction of an arrow mark F5, i.e., a downward direction. Meanwhile, since, along with movement of the second link 38 in the direction of the arrow mark F4, an arm 40 is also rotated in the same direction, a third link 42 mounted concentrically to the arm 40 and a pin 39 is pushed in the direction of an arrow mark F6, and a head part 3 is rotated in the direction of an arrow mark F7, i.e., an upward direction.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a method for using the head and neck of an artificial horse body in a riding simulator configured to simulate basic multi-movements in practical use. This invention relates to a link mechanism for swinging.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, artificial horse bodies for lIi games, such as those found in merry-go-rounds, have been designed to create fun movements within the shell.
For example, the head, neck, trunk, and legs move as one, so the conventional artificial horse body described above is different from the practical movement in which the head, neck, trunk, and legs move in a complex manner in relation to each other. It was a movement that was far off. In particular, the lack of oscillation of the head and neck is one of the reasons why the above-mentioned artificial horse body does not allow the rider to enjoy the feeling of actually riding a horse.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, in the present invention, by swinging the head and neck of the artificial horse body, that is, when the artificial horse body moves forward, the neck lowers and the head simultaneously moves. When climbing or moving backwards, the head rises and the head falls at the same time, which is a technical solution that allows the artificial horse's body to avoid movements that are more similar to practical use.

[Means for Solving the Problem] The technical means for solving the problem described above is that the link mechanism of the artificial horse body in the riding simulator has a rotation center at the upper end, and this rotation center is attached to the body. A lever is attached to a pivot attached to the body so as to be rotatable in the tangential direction of the body, one end is connected to the lower end of this lever, the other end is connected to the body, and a shoulder rest is attached to the lever. An elastic member for biasing rotational force in the forward direction is connected to the lower end of the leg of the artificial horse body, and when the artificial horse body receives rotational force from the outside and performs a rotational movement, the said leg is moved vertically and laterally. One end of the leg support bar is attached to the lever and the other end is attached to the lever via a pulley on a bracket vertically attached to the upper surface of the base installed below the artificial horse's body. a linear member attached to the leg support bar for rotating the lever in a direction corresponding to the biasing force of the elastic member as the body moves; and a linear member rotatably attached to the tip end of the head. A rotating center is supported by the body via a neck pivot, and a neck has an extension piece extending from the rotating center in a direction opposite to the head; a first link whose one end is rotatably attached to the extending piece and whose other end is rotatably attached to the lever, and which rotates the neck in response to rotation of the lever; an arm rotatably attached to the body via a shaft so as to be rotatable in the forward direction of the body; one end is rotatably attached to the lever, and the other end is rotatable to the arm; a second link that is attached to the lever and rotates the arm in the same direction as the lever in response to rotation of the lever; and one end of the link is attached concentrically to the shaft that supports the rotation center of the arm. and a third link whose other end is rotatably attached to the head and rotates the head in the opposite direction to the arm in response to the rotation of the arm. It is to do so.

[Function] According to the link mechanism of the artificial horse body in the riding simulator with the above configuration, when the leg support bar rotates in response to an external rotational force, for example, when the artificial horse body moves forward The linear member connected to the bar pulls the lever against the biasing force of the elastic member, causing the lever to rotate once (toward the rear of the body).When the lever rotates toward the rear of the body, , a first link, one end of which is rotatably attached to the lever, rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the lever.
Since the l1 body is pulled in the rearward direction, the extending piece of the neck connected to the other end of the first link is pulled by the first link. As a result, the neck is rotated counterclockwise, that is, downward, about the neck pivots 1 to 1 as the rotation axis.

On the other hand, like the first link, the second link is arched toward the rear of the body in conjunction with the rotation of the lever, so the arm connected to the end of the second link is the same as the lever. rotate in the direction. As a result, concentrically with the rotation center of the arm,
A third link, one end of which is connected to the arm, is displaced in the pushing direction, causing the head to pivot upward.

As described above, when the artificial horse body moves forward, the neck section moves downward, while the head moves upward.

Next, when the artificial horse body moves, for example, in the backward direction, the linear member connected to the leg support bar is moved in the direction of loosening, so the lever is moved toward the front of the body due to the biasing force of the elastic member. Rotated. When the lever rotates in the direction of the front of the Ij1 body, the first link, whose one end is rotatably attached to the lever, is pushed out in the direction of the front of the body in conjunction with the rotation of the lever. The extending piece of the neck connected to the other end of the first link is pushed forward. As a result, the neck is rotated clockwise about the neck pivot, and the extending piece is rotated clockwise, and the opposite side of the extending piece about the neck pivot, that is, the tip side is rotated upward. be moved.

On the other hand, the second link (same as the first link above) is pushed out toward the front of the fuselage in conjunction with the rotation of the lever, so the second link is connected to the end of the second link. The arm is rotated clockwise. As a result, the third link is pulled and displaced toward the body, causing the head to rotate downward.

As described above, when the artificial horse body moves backward, the neck section moves upward, and the head moves downward.

[Example] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a side view of an artificial horse body 1 showing the overall configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a state in which the left side body plate behind the left and right body plates constituting the body 2 has been removed to facilitate explanation of link-related mechanisms to be described later.

As shown in the figure, the artificial horse body 1 includes a body 2, a head 3, a neck 4, front legs 5, and hind legs 6 as main parts. A neck portion 4 is rotatably attached to the body 2 around a neck pivot 11. The head 3 is attached to the tip of the neck 4 so as to be rotatable about the bottle 12. In addition, at the base end of the neck portion 4, there is a neck pivot]・11
An extending piece 4A is formed diagonally downward from the joining part.

The front leg 5 is rotatably attached to the body 2 about a front leg pivot 13. Further, the rear legs 6 are rotatably attached to the body 2 about a rear leg pivot 14 .

The lower end of the front leg 5 is attached to an eccentric @
It is attached to 16. Further, the lower end of the rear leg 6 is connected to a horizontal bar 21 which is pivotally supported by both one eccentric shaft and an eccentric ¥*20 attached to each of the rotating discs 17 and 18.
installed on.

The horizontal bar 21 is configured to always rotate in a horizontal state when the rotating disk 17 or 18 rotates in response to an external rotational force.

A lever pivot 31 is attached to the upper part of the body 2,
A thin plate-like lever 32 is rotatably attached to this lever pivot 31. One end of a spring 33 is connected to the lower end of this lever 32, and the other end of the spring 33 is connected to the front leg attachment section 2F of the fuselage 2. Thus, spring 33 applies a moment to lever 32 that causes it to rotate clockwise.

On the other hand, one end of a loaf 34 for applying a moment in the opposite direction to the moment due to the spring 33 to the lever 32 is connected to the lower end of the lever 32, and the other end is connected to a pulley 50 attached to the feed body 2. and further the base 2
2 is connected to the horizontal bar 21 via a pulley 24 of a bracket 23 attached to the top surface of the bar 21. Therefore, when the artificial horse body 1 moves forward, the lever 32 is rotated counterclockwise by the tensile force of the lobe 34 against the biasing force of the spring 33.

On the other hand, when the artificial horse body 1 moves backward, the lobe 34 is moved in the direction of loosening, so the lever 32 is moved by the spring 33.
It is rotated clockwise by the urging force of.

One end of a first link 36 is attached to the lever 32 via a pin 35. The other end of the first link 36 is attached to the extending piece 4A of the neck 4 via a pin 37. Further, one end portion of a second link 38 is attached to the bin 35, and the second link 38 is attached to the second link 38.
The other end of the arm 40 is attached to the lower end of the arm 40, which is attached to the neck pivot 11, via a pin 41.

One end of a third link 42 is attached to the bin 39, and the other end of the third link 42 is attached to a bin 43 attached to the head 3.

Next, a driving device for driving the artificial horse body 1 having the above configuration will be explained with reference to FIG. 2.

A rotating shaft 51 that rotates the rotating disk 15 of the artificial horse body 1
is connected to a phase variable mechanism 52 for generating vertical movement of the artificial horse body 1 and a phase difference between the front and rear ribs. On the other hand, a rotating shaft 53 that rotates the rotating disk 18 is connected to a phase variable mechanism 54 .

The phase variable mechanism 52 includes the rotating shaft 51 and the pulley 54A.
The phase between the pulley shaft 55 and the pulley shaft 55 inserted therein is varied by a phase variable motor (not shown).

The phase variable mechanism 54 varies the phase between the rotary shaft 53 and a pulley shaft 57 inserted into the pulley 56 by a phase variable motor (not shown).

The pulley 54A is configured to be rotated via a timing belt 62 and a pulley 61 attached to an output shaft 60 of a reducer 59 that decelerates and outputs the rotation of the main motor 58. Further, the pulley 56 is configured to be rotated via a pulley 63 attached to the output 1 puller 60 and a timing belt 64.

The main motor 58 is connected to an inverter 65, and its rotational speed is controlled according to the frequency of drive power output from the inverter 65.

This inverter 65 is electrically connected to a control device 66, and the control table [66 outputs a drive signal according to the multi-action mode of the artificial horse body 1 to the inverter 65 to drive the main motor 58. This causes the rotary disk 15.18 to rotate via the phase variable mechanism 52.54.

Further, an operation panel 67 is electrically connected to the control device 66, and a multi-action mode of the artificial horse body 1 is set by a setting switch (not shown) provided on this operation panel 5!1167.

Next, the function of the artificial horse body 1 will be explained.

When the setting switch of the operation In 67 sets, for example, a mode for moving the artificial horse body 1 in a state in which the artificial horse body 1 is moved, and a drive signal is output from the control device 66 to the inverter 65 to drive the main motor 58, The rotating disk 1
5 and 18 rotate counterclockwise in response to the rotational torque of the rotating shafts 51 and 53, respectively, causing the artificial horse body 1 to reciprocate in the front and back direction with an amplitude in the vertical direction.
A horizontal bar 21 attached at 9°20 is rotated in a horizontal state. When the artificial horse body 1 moves in the forward direction of the blind backward reciprocating movement, the lobe 34 connected to the horizontal bar 21 is pulled in the direction of the arrow F1, as shown in FIG. 32 resists the biasing force of spring 33 and is rotated in the direction of arrow F2. As a result, the first link 36 and the second link 38 are moved in the directions of arrows F3 and F4, and the bin 3 is further moved at the end of the first link 36.
Since the extending piece 4A of the neck portion 4 connected via 7 is pulled in the same direction, the neck portion 4 is rotated in the direction of arrow 5, that is, in the downward direction.

On the other hand, as the second link 38 moves in the direction of arrow F4,
Since the arm 40 also rotates in the same direction, the third link 42 attached concentrically to the arm 40 and the bottle 39 moves in the direction of the arrow F.
6, and the head 3 is rotated in the direction of arrow F7, that is, upward.

As described above, when the artificial horse body 1 moves forward, the neck 4 lowers and the head 3 rises, making it possible to perform a rocking movement similar to that in practical use.

Further, when the artificial horse body 1 moves in the backward direction of the back and forth reciprocating motion, the horizontal bar 21 moves as shown in FIG.
Since the lobe 34 connected to loosens in the direction of arrow B1,
The lever 32 is rotated in the direction of arrow B2 by the biasing force of the spring 33. As a result, the first link 36 and the second link 38 are moved in the directions of arrows B3 and B4, and the extending piece of the neck 4 is further connected to the end of the first link 36 via the pin 37. Since 4A is extruded in the same direction,
6 part 4 is rotated in the direction of arrow 85, that is, upward.

On the other hand, as the second link 38 moves in the direction of arrow B4,
Since the arm 40 also rotates in the same direction, the third link 42, which is attached concentrically to the arm 10 and the bottle 39, is pulled in the direction of arrow B6, and the head 3 is moved in the direction of arrow B7. That is, it is rotated downward.

As shown in F below, when the artificial horse body 1 moves backward, the neck 4 rises and the head 3 falls, making it possible to swing as in practical use.

Next, the artificial horse body 1A constructed as shown in FIG. 5 will be explained.

The above artificial horse body 1A is J31 in addition to the artificial horse body 1 of the above embodiment.
Rotating disc 15.18, horizontal bar 21, bracket 1~
23, the pulley 24, etc. are omitted, the front legs 5 and the rear legs 6 are fixed to the movable table 101, and the movable table 101 is reciprocated only in the front-back direction by the rotating disks 102 and 103, which is different from the above embodiment. A similar lobe 34 is attached to pace 104 at one end thereof.

In the artificial horse body 1A having the above configuration, the rotating disk 102.1
03 is rotated in the counter-time cutting direction by receiving the rotational torque of each rotating shaft 51, 53 of the drive mechanism that drives the artificial horse body 1 of the above embodiment, the moving table 101 is moved in the forward direction. , the lobe 34 is pulled in the direction of arrow F11.

As a result, the lever 32 resists the urging force of the spring 33 and is rotated in the direction of arrow F12. Therefore, the first link 36 and the second link 38 are aligned with arrow F13 and arrow F14.
, and the extending piece 4A of the neck 4 connected to the end of the first link 36 via the pin 37 is pulled in the same direction. rotated in the direction.

On the other hand, as the second link 38 moves in the direction of arrow F14, 7A406 rotates in the same direction.
The head 3 is pushed out in the direction of 16, and the head 3 is pushed out in the direction of arrow 17.
That is, it is rotated upward.

Further, when the movable table 101 is moved in the backward direction, the lobe 34 is loosened in the direction of arrow B11, and the lever 32 is rotated in the direction of arrow B12 by the biasing force of the spring 33. As a result, the first link 36 and the second link 38
is moved in the direction of arrow B13 and arrow B14, and further the first
Since the extending piece 4A of the neck 4 connected to the end of the link 36 via the pin 37 is pushed out in the same direction, the neck 4 is rotated in the direction of arrow B15, that is, upward.

On the other hand, as the second link 38 moves in the direction of the arrow 814, the arm 40 also rotates in the same direction, so the third link 42, which is attached concentrically to the arm 40 and the bottle 39, moves in the direction of the arrow B16. The head 3 is pulled in the direction of arrow B17,
That is, it is rotated downward.

As described above, in this embodiment, as the artificial horse body 1Δ is moved in the front-rear direction, the head 3 and the neck 4 are respectively swung in opposite directions.

FIG. 6 shows the artificial horse body 1 and the second artificial horse body 1A.
If link 38 and arm 4o are omitted, link 4
2 (third link) is attached to the body 2 via three bottles (=1), while the other end of the link 42 is attached to the bottle 43.
This figure shows an artificial horse body 1B characterized in that it is attached to the head 3 via a.

The artificial horse body 1B is operated by a link mechanism when the aforementioned loaf 34 attached to the artificial horse body 1.1A is pulled in a direction resisting the biasing force of the 1yf spring 33 or in the same direction as the biasing force. When the neck 4 is lowered, the link 42 pushes up the head 3, causing the head 3 to rotate upward.

On the other hand, when the neck portion 4 is raised, the link 42 acts in the direction of pulling the head 3, thereby rotating the head 3 downward.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the link mechanism formed in the artificial horse's body allows the head to rise as soon as the neck of the artificial horse's body goes down, and to lower the head as the neck goes up. To,
By rocking the head and neck along with the back and forth reciprocating motion of the artificial horse body, there is the effect that the movement of the artificial horse body can be reduced to a level that is close to practical.
