Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce friction by providing the simulator with a magnetic levitat ing dome having a linear motor including a cockpit or an ultrasonic motor stuck to its surface, and a frame device for generating a magnetic field for supporting the dome and allowing the dome to rotate and to advance in parallel. CONSTITUTION:The magnetic levitating electric motor type cockpit simulator is provided with the magnetic levitating dome 1 having the linear motor 5 including the cockpit or the ultrasonic motor stuck to the surface and the frame device 2 for generating a magnetic field for supporting the dome 1 and allowing the dome 1 to rotate and to advance in parallel. The simulator is constituted so that the body (dome incorporated with the cockpit) 1 is floated by a magnet and required and optional motion can be attained by the linear motor 5 or the ultrasonic motor. Consequently, the friction can be reduced and the initial awkward motion can be removed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a magnetic levitation electric motor type cockpit simulator suitable for use in various simulators, theaters, shaking devices for leisure facilities, and the like.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, shaking devices used in various simulators, theaters, leisure facilities, etc. use hydraulic actuators to simulate a sense of motion with six degrees of freedom.

[Division JI that the invention attempts to solve! ] Conventional shaking devices use hydraulic actuators, which have had various problems, such as large swing motion, awkward initial movement, large-scale operation, difficult maintenance, and limited range of movement. .

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional ones, and enables smooth oscillation over a wide range, does not require a large-scale configuration, and is easy to maintain. The purpose is to provide a motorized cockpit simulator.

[Means for Solving the Problems] A cockpit simulator according to the present invention includes a magnetically levitated dome with a built-in cockpit and a linear motor or an ultrasonic motor attached to the surface, and a magnetic field to support the dome, Equipped with a bridging device that rotates and translates the dome, the main body (dome with built-in cockpit) is levitated by a magnet, and a linear motor or ultrasonic motor can perform any desired movement with 1 to 6 degrees of freedom as necessary. It is configured like this.

[Function] In the cockpit simulator of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration, the main body (the cockpit built-in dome) is levitated by the generation of a magnetic field by the magnet, and the linear motor, ultrasonic motor, etc. It can rotate, translate, etc. with 6 degrees of freedom.

Furthermore, because it is a floating type that drives and controls the main body using a linear motor, ultrasonic motor, etc., there is less friction and can eliminate the awkward initial movement of conventional products.

[Example code] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing the overall configuration of an apparatus in an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the cockpit dome 1 rests on a pedestal 2 that rotates in the θΦ direction by magnetic force. The θΦ direction rotation base 2 is further placed on a translation table 3 in the xy direction by magnetic force, and the translation table 3 is placed on a cylinder 4 for movement in the zlF direction. Linear motors 5, 5 (
or an ultrasonic motor), which allows the cockpit dome 1 to move with six degrees of freedom. A mechanism with such a configuration can be used not only as a simulator for pilot training and development, but also as a device that gives a sense of realism in, for example, theaters and various amusement facilities.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the present invention includes a magnetically levitated dome with a built-in cockpit and a linear motor or an ultrasonic motor attached to the surface, and a magnetic field to support the dome, which rotates the dome. Since it is a floating type, the friction is extremely small, eliminating the awkward initial movement of conventional products, and making it possible to reproduce smoother and more faithful movements. becomes.
