Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable a person who takes a test drive on a displayed automobile to experience an artificial drive feeling by putting a swing table in composite swing motion in synchronism with an image on a screen. CONSTITUTION:This device consists of the swing table where the actual automobile is installed and which has three elements of rolling, pitching, and front-rear motion, the screen 16 installed in front of the swing table 5, and a control part which puts the swing table 6 in composite motion in synchronism with the image on the screen 16. For, for example, acceleration, the swing table 5 is moved forward by front-rear swinging to give the person on the automobile an initial acceleration feeling, the front of the swing table 5 is lifted by pitching swinging simultaneously to slant the swing table 5, and thus a horizontal component of gravity is generated to substitute a feeling of depression on a seat at the time of the acceleration with the horizontal component of gravity. For turning, rolling swinging is performed in synchronism with the image to substitute a horizontal component of gravity generated similarly to the acceleration for a centrifugal force.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vehicle PR exhibition device in a car showroom or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When an automobile is displayed in a conventional automobile showroom, a fixed display stand or a turntable display stand has been used. In addition, some manufacturers have an exhibition of a fixed type simple simulation type in which a video device is installed in front of the exhibition vehicle so that the user can experience it while driving.

[0003]

In the case of the conventional simple fixed simulator type display device using only video and sound, there is a problem that a person on board the display vehicle is likely to have a visual and sensational deviation, and the actual vehicle is used as it is. What you can not do (when the image changes due to steering wheel operation, accelerator operation, etc., it is necessary to modify to take out the operation signal) or even if you use an actual vehicle, you can not easily replace the actual vehicle on the exhibition stand, The problem is that it takes time to lift and position the actual vehicle on the display stand.

According to the present invention, an actual vehicle is installed as it is on a rocking table having three rocking elements of rolling, pitching, and back-and-forth movement, and a composite rocking motion is generated in accordance with a screen image to stop the vehicle from starting (stopping). The purpose was to reproduce the feeling of sustained acceleration during deceleration and the feeling of sustained acceleration during turning by substituting for gravity to reduce the gap between the visual sense and the experience, and to enable a more realistic experience.

Further, by utilizing the pitching swing, the swing table can be formed into a slope having no step with the floor, and the actual vehicle can be easily installed on the swing table.

[0006]

The structure of the present invention for achieving the above object will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8 corresponding to the embodiments. The present invention is to install an actual vehicle and perform rolling, pitching, front and rear. It comprises a swing table 5 having three moving elements, a screen 16 installed in front of the swing table 5, and a control unit 18 for performing a combined motion of the swing table 5 in accordance with an image on the screen 16. Characterize.

[0007]

According to the present invention, rolling by the above means,
By combining three swinging elements, pitching and longitudinal movement, it is possible to reproduce the feeling of sustained acceleration when starting and stopping (acceleration / deceleration) and the centrifugal force when turning a curve, etc., instead of gravity. For example, at the time of acceleration, the rocking table is moved forward by swinging the rocking table forward to give an occupant a sense of initial acceleration, while the pitching rocking raises the front of the rocking table to tilt the rocking table diagonally. The horizontal component of gravity is generated, and the sensation of being pressed against the seat during acceleration (feeling of continuous acceleration) can be substituted by the horizontal component of gravity. The speed and degree of tilting are controlled by the control device so as to match the image. Further, during turning, the rolling swing is performed according to the image, and the horizontal component of gravity generated similarly to during acceleration can be used as a centrifugal force.

Further, as an application of pitching rocking, the rocking base can be formed as a slope having no step with the floor, so that the actual vehicle can be easily replaced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
It is fixed to. The rocking table 5 is joined to the drive shaft 4 of the pitching hydraulic actuator 2 by a bearing 6. Further, the pitching hydraulic actuator support base 15 is joined to the drive shaft 8 of the rolling hydraulic actuator 1.

By passing oil through the pitching hydraulic actuator 2, the drive shaft 4 rotates and swings, and the swing table 5 also rotates and swings around the drive shaft 4 to generate a pitching motion. Further, the drive shaft 8 rotates and oscillates by passing oil through the rolling hydraulic actuator 1, and the pitching hydraulic actuator support base 15, the pitching hydraulic actuator 2, the drive shaft 4, the bearing 6, and the swing table 5 drive the drive shaft. A rolling motion is generated by oscillating around 8.

The above-mentioned components are installed on the rocking base 3, and the rocking base 3 is placed on the base via the linear motion bearing 9 and is fixed to the base in the longitudinal hydraulic pressure. It is fastened to the cylinder 10. By passing oil through the front-rear hydraulic cylinder 10, each component on the rocking base 3 is linearly moved to the bearing 9.
System controller 1 in FIG. 4 swinging back and forth along
A command signal is sent from the rocking device 8 to the rocking device 17 having the rocking table 5, the image / sound control unit 19, and the hydraulic device 20. The oscillating device 17 makes the oscillating table 5 perform a combined oscillating motion of pitching, rolling, and back-and-forth movement according to a command signal. At the same time, the image / sound control unit 19 also sends an image signal to the screen 16 in accordance with the command signal to display the image of the running image on the screen. By matching the image on the screen 16 with the oscillating motion of the oscillating device 17, the difference between the visual sense and the sensation is eliminated.

The hydraulic device 20 is oscillated according to a command signal.
The hydraulic pressure for driving 7 is sent to the rocking device. FIG. 5 is an overall view relating to the implementation of the present invention. 6 to 8 show a second embodiment of the present invention. Instead of the rolling hydraulic actuator 1 and the pitching hydraulic actuator 2 in the first embodiment, an upright hydraulic actuator 12 is used to generate rolling and pitching movements. It is a thing. 6 to 8, the swing table 5 includes a cross-shaped bearing 11,
The rocking table 5 is connected via the drive shaft 4, and the front and rear upright hydraulic actuators 12 rotate the rocking table 5 around the drive shaft 4 to generate a pitching motion. Further, the cross-shaped bearing 11 is connected to the cross-shaped bearing tube 13 via the cross-shaped bearing shaft 14, and the left and right upright hydraulic actuators 12 are connected.
As a result, the rocking table 5 is rotated and rocked around the cross bearing shaft 14, and rolling motion is generated.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, a swing table having an actual vehicle installed and having three elements of rolling, pitching, and longitudinal movement, a screen installed in front of the swing table, and an image of the screen In accordance with the above, since it is composed of a control unit for performing a combined movement of the swing table, it is possible to reproduce swings that match the image, so that it is possible for a person on board the display car on the swing table to see visually. It is possible to experience a running state with no displacement of the experience, and by tilting the swing platform, there is no step with the floor, and it is possible to easily replace the exhibited vehicle.
