Description

Simulator for rotating turret-mounted weapons {SIMULAT0R OF WEAPON HAVING TURRET}

The present invention relates to a weapon simulator, and in detail, in various weapons equipped with a rotary turret, by integrating a conventional maneuvering simulator and artillery simulator, by providing the crew with a more realistic environment, simulation training The present invention relates to a simulator of a rotating turret-mounted weapon having a structure capable of maximizing its effectiveness.

Weapons equipped with rotary turrets include tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, etc. The present invention can be applied to all of them, but the following description will focus on tanks, which are the most representative weapons.

Tank simulators are a type of mock training equipment used for research and development of specific phenomena related to tanks, or for training crew training and mastery more economically without using actual equipment, fuel, or ammunition. Say.

It enables the crew to acquire various situations such as obstacles, operational areas, weather conditions, combat situations, tactical situations, etc. that are difficult to acquire on the actual terrain, so as to improve practical combat skills and performance of tactical command control. The driving simulator may be classified into a driving simulator, a gunnery simulator, and a tactical simulator.

The maneuver simulator is designed to improve the skills of the manipulators located inside the front cockpit of the tank hull. The tram is typically equipped with a caterpillar for yard crossings and is operated by repetition of 'start, drive', 'steer, turn' and 'stop' motions. At this time, the vehicle body is in a state where the rear of the vehicle is lowered due to acceleration when the vehicle starts to oscillate, and when the field driving is carried out, a combination of longitudinal pitch, lateral roll, and bounce / heave occurs. . Lateral shake occurs during steering, and deflection yaw occurs during pivot. When braking, the front of the body lowers. Particularly, when the endless track slips while driving in an ice or the like, front and rear slippage and left and right slippage occur.

Therefore, the steering simulator and artillery simulator have a drive that has six degrees of freedom (serge, sway, heave, pitch, roll, yaw) movements to simulate the behavior most similar to the actual tank body. It is common to use.

1 is a perspective view showing the structure of a conventional steering simulator.

As shown, six drive shafts 11 for six degrees of freedom drive are installed on the base support plate 9, a drive support plate 7 is installed on the drive shaft 11, and a cockpit on the drive support plate 7. Various structures including (6) are installed.

In the upper part of the cockpit 6, the driver hatch 1 is installed to be opened and closed, and a plurality of video screens 2, 3, and 4 are formed on the front of the cockpit to provide an image similar to the actual situation. It is equipped with a speaker 5 for generating a chariot noise similar to the actual situation.

The operator can enter and exit the cockpit 6 through the ladder 12 and the pilot hatch 1 installed on the side of the driving support plate 7.

The six drive shafts 11 perform the six degree of freedom drive by the drive shaft controller 10 installed on the base support plate 9, and include a cockpit 6 installed on the drive support plate 7 on the drive shaft 11. Drive the structure.

Operation of the video screens 2, 3, 4, the speaker 5, and the drive shaft controller 10 is performed by a controller (not shown) installed inside the cockpit 6.

The artillery simulator is used to improve the performance of tank commanders and gunners (including ammunition if required) located in the inner battle chamber of the turret mounted on the upper body of the tank. Except that the device is mounted, it basically takes the same structure as the turret of the actual tank in its internal structure.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the structure of a conventional artillery simulator.

As shown, six drive shafts 22 for six degrees of freedom drive are installed on the base support plate 21, and drive support plates 24 are installed on the drive shafts 22, and the turret 20 is the drive support plate. It is formed integrally with 24.

The front of the turret 20 is formed with a protrusion 27 corresponding to the barrel of the actual tank, the upper portion is equipped with a hatch 25 for the crew such as gunner to enter the simulator, the front of the turret 20 A plurality of video monitors 26 are provided which provide an image similar to.

The six drive shafts 22 perform the six degree of freedom drive by a drive shaft controller (not shown) installed on the base support plate 21, and the turret 20 provided on the drive support plate 24 on the drive shaft 22 is mounted. Drive it.

The main equipment mounted inside the turret 20 includes structural and functional crew room rescue devices simulated identically or physically, images configured to generate a virtual situation according to a battle room by a computer, and to provide an audiovisual effect. Sound equipment.

The turret of the actual tank is capable of 360-degree rotation, and the gun and sight are configured to be able to drive up and down within a limited range of high and low angles. However, since the driving device of the gunnery simulator can rotate and move up and down only within a limited range due to the characteristics of the movement, the wash-out algorithm (high acceleration component, that is, acceleration, in order to make the human feel a realistic feeling within the limited movement range). By using the command only), the crew can feel the centrifugal force, 360-degree rotation, and 60% climbing effect when the turret rotates.

The drive shaft controller (not shown) controls the driving of the drive shaft 22 for the vehicle body at the start of the tank, the motion effect of the turret (six degrees of freedom drive), the foaming impact effect at shooting, and the impact impact shot at shooting. Therefore, the artillery simulator uses a six-axis drive with six degrees of freedom to simulate the turret's behavior from the vehicle body, the centrifugal force sense and firing, and the impact impact effect on the turret's rotation. It is common to use a three-axis or four-axis drive unit to have a three- or four-degree of freedom movement when the behavior is simplified.

However, in order to allow the crew to feel the same driving effect as the actual tank driving, in addition to the six degrees of freedom driving, the turret rotates 360 degrees while the crew is on board. The artillery simulator has been pointed out as a problem in that the rotational effect can be reproduced only within a limited range of angle (about 24 degrees), and thus there is a limit in making it feel real.

Therefore, in order to provide the crew with a more realistic environment to maximize the effectiveness of the simulation training, the development of an integrated simulator incorporating the pilot simulator and the artillery simulator has been requested, and a unit for solving the problems associated therewith. Research on the device has also been actively conducted.

That is, in the structure of the conventional artillery simulator, when a situation in which the barrel is positioned at the rear side of the vehicle body occurs, the movements acting on the human body and the movements driven by the simulator in the actual situation are reversed. This is because no proper training effect could be expected.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simulator of a rotary turret mounted weapon having a structure that can maximize the effect of the simulation training by providing a crew more close to the actual situation.

As shown, the subject innovation is the base support plate 30; A drive shaft 31 provided on the base support plate 30; A drive shaft controller (not shown) installed to control the drive of the drive shaft 31; A drive shaft upper plate 32 provided on the drive shaft 31; A main body 40 formed integrally with the drive shaft upper plate 32; A steering simulator 50 installed in front of the main body 40; A race ring 41 formed on an upper portion of the main body 40; A gunnery simulator unit (60) rotatably mounted on the race ring (41); Rotation means (42) installed to apply rotational force to the gunnery simulator (60); A rotation drive controller (not shown) for controlling the drive of the rotation means 42; It is configured to include.

Here, the steering simulator unit 50 and artillery simulator unit 60 are basically the same structure as the conventional steering simulator and artillery simulator described above, and the present invention is that they are integrated as a device, separate from As the rotating means of the is mounted, the gunnery simulator unit 60 is characterized in that it enables the rotational drive in addition to the six degrees of freedom driving.

That is, the present invention implements the conventional six degree of freedom drive device by the base support plate 30, the drive shaft 31, the drive shaft top plate 32 and the main body 40, the control simulator unit 50 in the main body 40 By installing the gunner gun simulator unit 60, these simulator units are basically able to perform six degrees of freedom driving, while mounting the race ring 41 and the rotating means 42 on the top of the main body 40, By installing the gunpowder simulator unit 60 in the race ring 41 to enable the rotary drive by the rotation means 42, the gunnery simulator unit 60 can also perform the rotary drive.

Thus, unlike the conventional artillery simulator configured to reproduce the rotational effect only in a limited range of angles, the crew can feel the driving effect of the turret's 360-degree rotational drive, so that the gun barrel The situation facing the rear of the can be simulated similar to the actual situation, such that the crew can provide a more realistic environment to maximize the effectiveness of the simulation training.

The rotation means 42 is controlled by a rotation driving control unit (not shown) mounted on the steering simulator unit 50 or the artillery simulator unit 60 to apply a rotational force to the artillery simulator unit 60, and such a rotation means. The structure of the 42 and the race ring 41 may be anything as long as it can realize the rotational driving of the hydraulic, electromagnetic and other gunnery simulators 60.

The steering simulator unit 50 and the artillery simulator unit 60 have basically the same structure as the above-described conventional steering simulator and artillery simulator, except that the rotation driving control unit for controlling the rotational driving of the rotation means 42 ( There is a difference in that it is additionally provided.

On the other hand, the present invention is drawn through the through hole (not shown) formed in the bottom surface of the main body 40 from the outside and the incoming wiring mounted to transmit power or other electrical signals to the steering simulator unit 50 and the gunnery simulator unit 60 ( 70); Branched wirings 80 branching from the incoming wirings 70 for transmitting power and electrical signals to various devices inside the steering simulator unit 50 and the gunnery simulator unit 60; It is configured to include.

As described above, the present invention is a complex drive of 7 degrees of freedom, such as 6 degrees of freedom driving and rotational driving, so that when wiring is carried out without any consideration regarding the inlet wiring 70 and the branch wiring 80, the wiring The kink of may cause a situation in which the desired drive cannot be obtained.

Therefore, according to the present invention, a wire connection part 90 for electrically connecting the lead wire 70 and the branch wire 80 is integrally formed at the lower part of the gunner simulator part 60 and rotatably inserted into the main body 40. The anti-twist wire structure of the basket 43 is provided.

That is, when the incoming wiring 70 does not take the structure that is connected to the bottom rotation center of the basket 43 through the through hole formed in the bottom surface of the main body 40, the six-degree of freedom driving and rotational driving of the tank simulator may be used. Since twisting will inevitably occur, the above configuration is taken to prevent this.

Therefore, the influence of the six degree of freedom driving of the tank simulator can be almost ignored, and the twist caused by the rotational driving of the tank simulator can be substantially reduced due to the elasticity of the wiring.

However, since the elasticity of the wiring has a limit, when the above configuration is taken, the gunner simulator 60 has a limitation that rotational driving is possible only within about 360 degrees.

Accordingly, the wiring connection part 90 is connected to the branch wiring 80, is connected to the rotation conductive part 91 fixedly mounted at the bottom rotational center of the basket 43, and is connected to the lead wire 70 to be connected to the rotation conductive part 91. It is preferable to comprise by the fixed electrically conductive part 92 rotatably attached to ().

That is, by connecting the wiring connecting portion 90 electrically, but structurally separated to enable a mutually infinite rotation drive, turret simulator 60 of the tank simulator is infinite without limitations on the twist of the wiring It is possible to rotate.

Here, the rotational conductive portion 91 and the fixed conductive portion 92 constituting the wire connection portion 90 may be applied to any structure that is electrically connected to each other and is slidably mounted like a slip ring.

In addition, since the lead wire 70 is subjected to fatigue due to twisting due to the rotation of the turret simulator unit 60, it is preferable to cover and protect it with a spring wire (not shown) to prevent damage caused by the fatigue. Do.

In the above described as an embodiment of the present invention focused on the configuration of the tank simulator, the basic technical idea of the present invention is a weapon general equipped with a steering function and a turret rotating function, that is, a weapon simulator equipped with a rotary turret such as armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery Ramen can be applied to all.

The present invention provides a simulator of a rotating turret-mounted weapon that allows the crew to provide a more realistic environment to maximize the effectiveness of the simulation training.
