Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide up and down.left and rigth.and front and rear movements employing a simple mechanism by supporting a rider's table with the connecting bars having the coupling section which is freely bent in an arbitrary direction and adding the mechanism which drives the entire system in the front and the rear directions. SOLUTION: A rider's table 1 is connected to a moving table 7 by connecting bars 4, 5 and 6. The motion of the table 7 is restricted in the front and the rear directions by rails 15 mounted on a base 12 and slide blocks 14 which are mounted on the bottom surface of the table 7 and the table 7 moves in a linear manner with respect to the rails 15. Moreover, the table 7 moves in the front and the rear directions by an actuator 17 fixed on the base 16, a rotating ball screw 18 and the ball nuts mounted on the table 7. When actuators 8 and 9 are operated in a shrinking direction, each link is rotated and the table 1 goes up. If an actuator 12 is operated in the stretching direction, each link is rotated and the table 1 moves in the right direction.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be specifically described based on the illustrated embodiments.

First, the configuration of the first embodiment is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to 2 and 3. A seat 2 is mounted on the boarding board 1, and a passenger 3 can sit on the seat 2. The boarding table 1 is connected to the moving table 7 by connecting rods 4, 5, and 6. Here, the connecting portion between the connecting rod and the boarding platform 1 and the moving platform 7 is a spherical bearing 4a rotatable in any direction.
Although it is via 4b, 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, a cruciform joint combining rotary bearings may be used instead of the spherical bearings. The connecting rods 4, 5 are arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart from each other at right and left sides, and are connected to the central portion of the boarding platform 1 and the rear portion of the moving platform 7. The connecting rod 6 is arranged in front of and parallel to the connecting rods 4 and 5.

Here, if the lengths of the connecting rods are completely the same and are arranged in parallel, the platform 1 can move in parallel, but the connecting rods have different lengths or are different from each other. Does not cause any problem in the operation of the mechanism. Conversely, by positively changing these, the attitude of the boarding board 1 can be changed according to the movement.

Rotary actuators 8a, 9a and ball screw 8

Similarly, the actuator 9 is connected to the movable table 7 via the trunnion 11 and drives the rotation of the connecting rod 5 in the vertical direction about the fulcrum on the movable table 7 side.

The rotary actuator 12a, the ball screw 12b, and the ball nut 12c are combined to form an actuator 12 that operates in the direction of expansion and contraction. Actuator 1
Numeral 2 is connected to the moving table 7 via a trunnion 13 that allows rotation of the actuator 12 in a horizontal plane and rotation in the elevation direction, and the other end is rotatably connected to the vicinity of the end of the connecting rod 4. It drives the rotation of the connecting rod 4 in the left-right direction about the fulcrum on the moving table 7 side.

Here, one end of each of the actuators 8, 9, and 12 is connected to the connecting rod.
Boarding board 1 near the place where the connecting rod corresponding to
It can be driven in the same manner even if it is combined with.

The movable table 7 is restrained by a rail 15 mounted on a base 16 and a slide block 14 mounted on the lower surface of the movable table 7 so as to be able to move in the front-rear direction. The ball screw 18 is rotated by a rotary actuator 17 fixed to 16, and a ball nut 19 attached to the moving table 7 is driven in the front-rear direction.

Here, the driving source of the actuator may be an electric motor or a hydraulic pressure, and each actuator obtains a linear motion by a ball screw. no problem.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When both the actuator 8 and the actuator 9 are operated in the contracting direction, each link is rotated, and the platform 1 is raised.
This state is shown in FIG. Here, since the position of the boarding board 1 moves backward with the rotation of the link, it is necessary to calculate and correct the position of the moving board 7 in the front-rear direction when it is desired to vertically move. Next, when the actuator 12 is operated in the extending direction, each link rotates, and the boarding base 1 moves rightward. This state is shown in FIG. Here, similarly, since the position of the boarding board 1 retreats with the rotation of the link, it is necessary to calculate and correct the position of the moving board 7 in the front-rear direction when it is desired to move it right beside.

In this embodiment, the board 8 can be moved up and down without tilting by operating the actuators 8 and 9 in a well-balanced manner. It is also possible to give the boarding board 1 a tilt mainly in the left-right direction.

Next, an actuator 1 driven in the left-right direction
The configuration of the second embodiment using another system instead of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The connection between the connecting rod 6 and the moving table 7 is achieved by connecting a bearing 17 that allows only one rotation in the vertical direction to the connecting rod 6 instead of the spherical bearing as in the above-described embodiment. A bearing 17 is mounted on the rotation center of a sector gear 18 rotatably mounted on the shaft so as to be integral with the sector gear 18, and a rotation actuator 19 for driving the sector gear 18 to rotate is provided. When the sector gear 18 is driven to rotate by the rotary actuator 19, the connecting rod 6 also rotates in the horizontal plane as shown in FIG. 8, and the boarding base 1 moves in the lateral direction.
