November 5, 2004, application No. 2004132245/22, publ. 12/27/2005 Bull. Number 36.

The common disadvantages of the known dynamic platforms include low reliability, design complexity and limited functionality. There is also the difficulty of boarding / disembarking the user to / from the attraction (a), the inability of third-party users to observe the game process from the side due to the closed cabin.

A closer solution is a dynamic platform (patent RU 76154 U, G09B 9/04), comprising a movable frame with a cab installed on it (a simulator module) and a fixed frame with sliding supports, on which the drive, stand and stops are located, characterized in that the movable frame is connected to the fixed frame in a place corresponding to the center of mass (CM) of the simulated object by means of a hinge with spaced intersecting axes and struts, the drive is made in the form of gear motors, each of which is connected via a crank to a ball fingers, fastened to the movable frame, the frame is mounted on the stationary power supply and the drive.

But the design of this platform is too complicated, cumbersome and requires the installation of the entire bulky cab on a movable frame, which complicates the simulation of movement.

There is also the difficulty of boarding / disembarking the user to / from the attraction (a), the inability of third-party users to observe the game process from the side due to the closed cabin.

The technical result of the utility model is a more maneuverable platform, with a more lightweight suspension system, which allows for better simulation of car movements in four degrees of freedom by means of a large amplitude and acceleration of the suspension system movement, a more convenient and faster landing / disembarkation of the user to / from the attraction (and ), the ability for third-party users to observe the game process from the side.

The movable support rods are configured to be driven by gear belts through gear motors.

The platform, rotating on wheels around a vertical axis, is configured to be driven by a gear motor with a position sensor. For the convenience of moving the structure as a whole, the base has a collapsible structure.

By means of a special programmed controller, it is possible to read data from a central computer and turn it into a series of commands for controlling gear motors that drive the suspension system.

The passenger seat and controls are adjustable in height and horizontal. For the convenience of passenger embarkation / disembarkation, the suspension system (cabin) is made with the ability to go down to the limit and turn to the place of embarkation / disembarkation. There is an emergency stop button within the passenger's reach, the function of which is an emergency stop of the cab.

Utility Model Implementation

The attraction consists of a platform 2, rotating around its axis and containing a central computer 16 inside, of three supports 3 of a suspension system with extendable rods 4, a suspension system (cab) with a passenger seat, 3D screen 7, a simulator control system (steering wheel 8, pedals 9 , gearbox 10), collapsible base 1, sound system 11.

The device runs on a standard 220 V power outlet.

The mobile platform 2 contains all the electronic components of the attraction and is the supporting structure for the entire device. Using the drive wheels, it rotates on the base 1. The welded frame 5 can be made of low carbon steel and coated with a powder potter. All aluminum parts are anodized.

The device contains three supports 3 of the suspension system (passenger cabin), which move the rods 4 to move the suspension system of the attraction. The pipes of the movable rods 4 can be made of hardened steel.

The rods 4 are driven by gear motors 15, which can be used as servomotors. Through the gearboxes, the rods 4 are driven by gear belts.

The suspension system is used to secure the passenger seat 6, 3D monitor 7, pedal unit 10. It consists of a rigid welded frame 5 made of a rectangular profile. The system design has a special shape that reduces vibration to the lowest possible level. The attachment points to the rods 4 are made on bearings that do not require maintenance for the entire life of the attraction. The folding base 1 serves for leveling the floor and smooth rotation of the attraction. If necessary, it is quickly dismantled and transferred to a new place.

Controls (steering wheel, gearbox, pedals) allows transmitting signals from user actions to control the car simulator to the central computer. As such a control system, for example, the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel control system or other sets of equipment from third-party manufacturers can be used.

As the sound system 11 used speaker speakers and, possibly, tweeter. The attraction is equipped with a 3D screen 7, which can be used as a TV or monitor with a matrix made using polarization technology, and comes with a set of light passive glasses.

Most games can be launched in 3D mode. This can be convenient for adjusting 3D projection parameters according to the taste of the user.

Two parameters that must be set: convergence and the strength of the 3D effect. Convergence mainly controls the relative position of the image for the left and right eye, and the effect of force (otherwise separation) regulates the difference from distant and close objects of rendering.

Since these two parameters influence each other, their exact values cannot be calculated, so the trial and error method is the best way to set them. First, the user focuses his eyes on very distant objects, 50 meters onwards, without 3D glasses, but with 3D mode turned on. The user will see how two renders overlap each other. Adjusts their position with approximately 6 cm offset. This is the distance between the eyes of a person, it can be a little less, but never more and not equal, as this will lead to an uncomfortable feeling.

Now, still without glasses, the user focuses on objects in the immediate vicinity, preferably in the immediate vicinity similar to the actual distance between the eyes and the TV screen, for example, a car hood or dashboard. He will again see two overlapping images of the object. Adjusting the force effect parameters for a combination of two images means that the rendering offset for the left and right eyes is zero. This will destroy the convergence facility.

So you should repeat the previous steps several times until the user receives the correct values for these two settings.

Now the user can put on glasses and look at the image. It will be either very good or a little unclear. In this case, you need to change the image for the left and right eye or return to the convergence settings. First set the R or L rendering for the corresponding eye, and then apply convergence to move them in opposite directions.

The central computer 16 controls the attraction by processing signals from the user through the control system (steering wheel 8, gearbox 9, pedals 10), combining the user’s role-playing action in the car’s simulation program, and subsequently transmits signals to the actuators of the rods 4 of the supports 3, which simulate moving the cabin with the passenger in four degrees of freedom: pitch, roll, yaw, vertical movement. The housing of the central computer 16 is integrated in the lower base of the movable platform 2. For rigidly fixing the computer 16 in the base of the platform, it is preferable to have screws 17 for fastening to it.

The principle of the attraction.

The user turns on the computer via button 14 to boot, sits in the suspended seat 6 on the platform 2. He puts on optional 3D glasses. After loading, using the trackball, selects the desired game. Wait until the boot program connects all the necessary software modules. Starts the game.

On the control panel, the user presses the platform motion enable button 12.

The cab slowly moves to the middle position and then will respond to the behavior of the car.

To stop the movement of the platform, the user can press the platform enable button again. The cab will return to the lower position.

For an emergency stop of the device, an emergency stop button 13 can be provided, located on the right side of the cab frame. All drives of the device will be immediately disabled and the platform will return to the lower position.

The moving platform is tested (calibrated) using the cab controller driver software alone.
