Abstract

FIELD: transport engineering; simulators.

SUBSTANCE: invention to automobile simulators with imitation of emergency situations. Proposed device contains cart and driver's seat with steering wheel. Cart has four wheels and it can move along tilted rails to stop. Tilting of rails can be changed by means of joint and jack. Bumper with brake springs and fixed gear are installed on cart. Driver's seat is installed on cart on ball bearing, steering wheel installed before seat is coupled by rods with control handle and with movable gear inside hood. Mounted on seat are brake lever and turning device, idle brake pedal and seat belt. Turning device providing rotation of driver's seat in motion has one or more knobs providing throwing up of cart wheels in motion and installed on rails and one or more resilient pipes providing side collision or skidding of driver's seat and installed from different sides of rails. Fixed gear and movable gear form driver's seat turning mechanism providing alignment of hood axis with cart axis owing to rotation of movable gear around fixed gear. Engagement and disengagement of gears is provided by control handle coupled by rod with steering wheel. Pointer and scale to determine degree of training of driver are applied, respectively, to hood and stop.

EFFECT: increased skill of driver in emergency situations and vestibular stability of driver.

Description

The present invention relates to the field of road transport. The purpose of the invention: improving driving skills and safety on roads by developing skills and ability to act correctly in critical situations.

The use of various simulators is an effective way to educate drivers of vehicles, but in most cases the training comes down to using stands and movie installations that only simulate emergency situations and vehicle movement, which is not enough to feel the emergency situation and get out of it.

The present invention provides such an opportunity. It ensures that the learner is inside the emergency situation when the vehicle is moving.

The closest prototypes of the invention are:

A. Vehicle simulator SU 1508265 A1 (G09B 9/04), which contains a cab with a seat, an instrument panel with turn simulators, a steering wheel and the possibility of turning the cab in small deviations.

B. A device for simulating the visual environment SU 1010641 A (G09B 9/04), which contains a cabin with controls, a terrain model, a TV installation with a screen for teaching visual vehicle driving skills.

The main disadvantage of these prototypes is that they do not create a real situation, but only imitate it, and therefore do not provide training for drivers with repeated exercises related to the impact on students' body and memory of non-standard accelerations.

The positive effect of the invention is that it allows you to overcome the usual drawback of drivers, which is the inability to act in critical situations due to the lack of such experience or lengthy training in real conditions.

In addition, the present invention increases the body's resistance, strengthens vestibular resistance to acceleration, overload and rotation, and also makes it possible to carry out operational control and self-monitoring of training.

Figure 1 shows a General view of the simulator.

Figure 2 is a top view at the time of the reversal of the driver's seat.

The present invention consists of a scooter truck 1 on four wheels, a driver's seat 2 on ball bearings 3 with a seat belt 4. A steering wheel 5 is mounted in front of the seat, connected by rods to the gear handle 6 and with a mobile working gear gear 7 located inside the hood 8 and mounted on a round metal ball 9. A brake lever 10 and a rotary device 11 are mounted on the seat. A fixed gear gear 12, a bumper 13 and two springs 14 connected to the bumper are mounted on the trolley. The trolley moves along the inclined rails 15 to the stop 16. The rails are installed with the ability to change the slope using the hinge 17 and the jack 18. The racks 19 and the rotating pipe 20 are fixed on the rails. A flexible elastic pipe 21 is installed on the right side of the rail, making an on-board collision or skid cars in an accident. On the right rail there is a tubercle 22, tossing the simulator during movement. To the left of the steering wheel there is an idle brake pedal 23. In the hood there is a slot 24 and two pits 25 for moving the steering wheel and the working gear on a metal ball 9 until it engages with the stationary gear 12.

The present invention is used as follows.

Before starting classes, the simulator is dragged by hand, as drivers usually push cars, to the upper starting position and fasten the lever 10 to the pipe 20. Then, with the help of the jack 18, set the prescribed slope or leave the previous one. Next, the student sits in chair 2, fastens his seat belt 4 and, at the command of the instructor, presses the lever 10 down, after which the simulator moves independently along a slope, gradually accelerating. On the path of movement, the simulator bumps into the tubercle 22 and bounces. At this moment, he touches the rotary device 11 for the elastic pipe 21 and the chair 2 is rotated away from the pipe. Such cases on the roads occur quite often. So the famous artist N.P. Karachentsev was in exactly the same situation and could not cope with the steering wheel. In order to gain experience on how to take control of a similar situation, it is necessary for the remaining time before the collision with the emphasis 16 to learn to manage to pull the gear knob 6 on itself to connect the working gear 7 with gear 12 and the steering wheel 5 rotation to combine the bonnet axis with the axis of the trolley due to the rotation of the gear 7 around the gear 12. In this case, the brake pedal 23 does not work, it is replaced by the springs 13, and the simulator hits the stop 16, which creates the feeling of a real collision.

If at the same time the arrow on the hood is combined with the arrow on the stop or gets to the “plus”, then the offset is considered accepted, but if not, then this exercise should be repeated until the student learns to do it confidently enough.

Along the path of the simulator, you can install several flexible pipes 21 and tubercles 22 from different sides with a longer rail track and maximize the rail slope to increase the degree of training required for specialists of a higher class. For example, car racers, drivers of government vehicles, drivers for mass transportation of children, as well as in mountainous areas.

With the repeated use of this simulator, a stable and quick response is developed to eliminate emergency situations during drifts, impacts, throws and airborne collisions of vehicles. This will significantly reduce the accident rate on highways.
