The clutch portion 40 includes a clutch main body 41, a clutch wire 42, a stop 43 and a spring 44. The clutch portion 40 is engaged with the clutch operated by the driver, To lock and unlock the movement (see FIG. 3).

Specifically, the clutch wire 42 is connected to a clutch pedal selectively pulled by a user's operation.

The stop 43 is connected to the clutch wire 42 and is installed so as to protrude outside the clutch body 41 while being elastically supported by an elastic member 214c provided inside the clutch body.

At this time, in a state where the stopper 43 protrudes to the outside of the clutch body 41, one end of the stopper body 214a is pressed to be in a locked state so that the stopper 214 comes into contact with the shaft 211a, In a state of being pulled by the clutch wire 42, the stopper 214 is released to unlock the forward and backward movement of the shaft.

In addition, when the user releases his / her foot from the clutch pedal, the spring 44 of the clutch body 41 resiliently restores the outer surface of the stopper 214 to the locked state.

Next, an operation state of the manual transmission gear unit of the simulator for driving exercise according to the present invention will be described.

5 to 13 are operational states of the manual transmission gear unit of the simulator for driving exercise according to the present invention.

5, in the neutral mode N, the shift lever 11 is located in the center, and the tilt member 222b, which is the second sensor target at this time, is also located in a non-rotated state, 31) are located between the first and second sensors.

6, when the clutch pedal is depressed by the driver, the clutch wire 42 is pulled outward from the base plate and the stopper 214, which was locked by the stopper 43, is unlocked to release the elastic member 214c So that the shaft 211a can move in the forward and backward directions.

7, the shaft 211a, which can be moved in the forward and backward directions, is moved backward, and the stopper 214 is moved in the second direction, And moves along the outer surface of the latching jaw 213 to be positioned in the front region of the second latching jaw 213. [ Accordingly, after the shift is completed in the first stage, the shaft 211a may not move in the forward and backward directions.

The pivoting member 222b which is rotatable in the left and right direction is rotated in the clockwise direction by the second synchronized portion 221 as the shift lever 11 is moved in the left direction as shown in Fig.

At this time, the engagement groove 211a 'of the shaft 211a is positioned in the rotation guide 222b', so that the shaft 211a can be rotated in a state in which rotation is not restricted by the shaft 211a.

After the rotation of the tiltable member 222b is completed, the portion of the shaft 211a, which is larger in diameter than the engagement groove 211a ', is positioned in the movement prevention hole 222b' The tiltable member 222b may not be moved in the left-right direction after shifted to the one-stage shift mode.

Since the driving of the tiltable member 222b and the shaft 211a occurs substantially simultaneously, the shaft 211a can be caught in the movement preventing hole 222b ''.

After the movement of the shaft 211a and the tiltable member 222b is completed by the first interlocking portion 211 and the second interlocking portion 221, when the foot is released from the clutch pedal as shown in Fig. 10, 43 again pushes the outer side of the stopper 214 to bring the urethane bearing 214b into contact with the shaft 211a to change the stopper 214 to the locked state.

On the other hand, when the gear is shifted to the first gear, the mechanical mechanism as described above occurs, and the tilting member 222b acts as a second sensor target and is sensed by the third sensor, and the shaft 211a moves backward 1 sensor target 31 is detected by the first sensor.

As a result, the control unit (not shown) recognizes that the shift mode is switched to the first stage based on the detection of the first sensor and the third sensor.

Next, the case of shifting to the second stage will be described.

When shifting to the second stage, the shift lever 11 is moved to the left rear side in a state in which the driver presses the clutch pedal to allow the stopper 214 to pivot. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, the tiltable member 222b is rotated in the same state as the one-stage shift position, and the shaft 211a is moved forward.

That is, the urethane bearing 214b of the stopper 214 moves along the first stopping jaw 212 in a state of being elastically supported by the elastic member 214c and moves in the rear region of the first stopping jaw 212 211a and the urethane bearing 214b are in contact with each other, the position in accordance with the movement of the shift lever 11 in the two-speed shifting mode is determined.

In this state, when the foot is released from the clutch pedal, the stopper 43 presses the outside of the stopper 214, and the shift lever 11 is fixed at the corresponding position in the two-speed shift mode.

At this time, in the control unit, the second sensor 33 senses the first sensor target 31, the third sensor 34 senses the tilt member 222b as the second sensor target, and the shift mode is switched to the second stage .

11, the clutch pedal is depressed to unlock the stopper 214. As the shift lever 11 moves forward, the shaft 211a moves backward And the shaft 211a is fixed in the three-speed shifting position by pulling the foot from the clutch pedal.

12, the clutch pedal is depressed to unlock the stopper portion, and as the shift lever 11 moves backward, the shaft 211a moves forward, The shaft 211a is fixed in the four-speed shifting position by pulling the foot from the clutch pedal.

In the case of shifting to the third and fourth stages, there is no movement of the shift lever 11 in the left-right direction, so that the tiltable member 222b does not rotate.

13, the stopper 214 is unlocked by depressing the clutch pedal, and as the shift lever 11 moves to the right forward, the pivoting member 222b is moved to the right (half Clockwise direction), and the shaft 211a moves backward.

The rotation of the tiltable member 222b is opposite to and operates in the same direction as the first and second tilt rotations, and the movement of the shaft 211a toward the rear becomes the same as the shift to the third tilt.

After the movement is completed as described above, the stopper 214 is changed into the locked state by releasing the foot from the clutch pedal, so that the tiltable member 222b and the shaft 211a are fixed.

14, the clutch pedal is depressed to unlock the stopper 214, and as the shift lever 11 moves to the right rearward, the pivoting member 222b is rotated in the fifth and fifth stages And the shaft 211a is shaped like a shift in the four stages. When the movement is completed as described above, the tilt member 222b and the shaft 211a are fixed by releasing the foot from the clutch pedal.

The stopper 214 is moved in a state in which the stopper 214 is elastically supported along the outer surfaces of the first and second stopping jaws 212 and 213 so that the driver can actually rotate the gears So that the user can feel the feeling that occurs when they are engaged with each other.

As described above, when the manual transmission gear unit of the simulator for driving practice according to the first embodiment of the present invention is used, it can operate in the same manner as a manual transmission gear unit of an actual vehicle, so that the driving skill can be further improved.

In addition, it is possible to control the exact position in seven shift modes including the neutral mode (N) with only four sensors and two sensor targets.

In addition, according to the sensed gear-shifting mode, the control unit can perform a screen change of the simulator and a motion of the simulator itself, thereby providing a driving environment close to the actual environment.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be implemented in various forms of embodiments within the scope of the appended claims. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
