Abstract

PURPOSE:To comprehend the sinking phenomenon of a boat main body when a trainee goes on board a boat by supporting both end sections of a support shaft rollably supporting the boat main body on a support bed and laterally extended at nearly the center section in the longitudinal direction of the support bed with a plate spring fitted to a base. CONSTITUTION:A rotary shaft is longitudinally extended and fitted at the bottom section of a boat main body 1, and the rotary shaft is supported by bearings 4 erected on a support bed 3. A support shaft 11 extended in the lateral direction is arranged at nearly the center section in the longitudinal direction of the support bed 3, and it is fitted via a bracket 12 so that both ends 11' are protruded from the support bed 3. Both ends 11' of the support shaft 11 are supported by a plate spring 15 fitted to a base 13 via a bracket 14. When a trainee goes on board the boat main body 1, the body weight is applied to the plate spring 15 via the support bed 3 of the boat main body 1, and the sinking phenomenon of the boat main body 1 occurs.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a heave device for a sailing simulator for learning the basic motions of yacht operation on land.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a yacht sails by utilizing the lift and drag generated on a sail, but this lift changes depending on wind speed, wind direction, sail angle, etc.
Advanced technology is required to maintain optimal propulsion power. That is, it is necessary to sufficiently practice basic operations such as A) operation of Taylor, B) operation of boom, and operation of heel by moving the boating position.

However, there are various problems in actual practice at sea, such as sea condition, a leader, and safety. For this reason, it is possible to use a yacht simulator as a facility that can be practiced on land.
55165).

[0004]

By the way, in the conventional yacht simulator described above, when the boat body moves up and down, that is, when the trainee gets on the boat, the boat body sufficiently sinks due to the weight of the trainee. It couldn't be done. Therefore, there has been a problem that the trainee cannot get a sufficient sense of boarding.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and supports a boat main body on a support base so that the main body of the boat can roll, and a substantially central portion of the support base in the front-rear direction. A device is provided in which a support shaft extending in the lateral direction is disposed, and both ends of the support shaft are supported by leaf springs attached to a base, respectively.

[0006]

[Operation] In such a configuration, when the trainee gets on the boat main body, the weight of the trainee acts on the leaf spring through the support base, and the boat main body can feel like being depressed. Pitch springs are preferably arranged at the four corners of the support base.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a heave device for a yacht simulator according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a partially broken perspective view of a yacht simulator. Reference numeral 1 denotes a boat main body, and a rotary shaft 2 extending forward and backward is attached to a bottom portion of the boat main body 1.
Are supported by bearings 4 provided so as to stand on the support base 3. A mast 7 to which a mesh sail 5 and a boom 6 are fixed is rotatably attached to the boat body 1, and a boom drive device 8 and a tiller drive device 9 for driving the mast 7 are attached. .. Further, a heel drive device 10 for tilting the boat body 1 is provided at the center of the boat body 1.

The support base 3 for supporting the boat body 1 as described above, as shown in FIG. 2 as a part thereof, has a substantially central portion in the front-rear direction, specifically, the boat body 1 and the support base 3. A support shaft 11 extending in the lateral direction is arranged at a position where the load is approximately averaged in the front and rear, and both ends 11 ′ of the support shaft 11 are attached via a bracket 12 so as to project from the support base 3. Both ends 11 'of the support shaft 11 are configured to be supported by leaf springs 15 attached to the base 13 via brackets 14. Numerals 16 are pitch springs arranged at the four corners of the support base 3 and between the bases 13.

In the heave device in the yacht simulator having such a structure, when the trainee gets on the boat, the weight of the trainee acts on the leaf spring 15 via the support base 3 of the boat body 1 to prevent the boat body from sinking. Will be caused.

[0010]

The heave device in the yacht simulator of the present invention supports the boat main body on the support base so that the main body can roll.
A support shaft extending in the lateral direction is arranged substantially at the center of the support base in the front-rear direction, and both ends of the support shaft are supported by leaf springs attached to the base.

Therefore, since the trainee can experience the phenomenon that the boat main body 1 sinks when boarding the boat, there is an effect that it is possible to obtain the feeling of boarding.
