Definitions
- This invention relates to motion generators. It is primarily intended for simulating rides, either for amusement or for training. These are well known, but complex and costly. It is generally considered desirable to offer most if not all the six theoretically possible degrees of movement, which are: Linear - Surge (fore and aft)
- Hydraulic actuators are commonplace as the drive units, but pneumatic ones may be used, as well as electromagnets and electric motors .
- Computer control can activate these in all manner of combinations to give a complex motion.
- a motion generator comprising a fixed base and a member carried by the base and forming the last of a sequence of 2
- mobile members each member having, at least as the main component of its permitted motion with respect to the base or the member immediately preceding in the sequence, to which it is pivotally connected, one of said degrees of freedom, each degree being different through the sequence
- rotary drive units carried by the base and each member of the sequence except the last one, respectively coupled to the member succeeding in the sequence and to the said last member to impart said permitted motions under computer control.
- the three rotational degrees of freedom present no problem and can be achieved by direct pivoting of one member to another. But the three linear degrees of freedom may be approximated by connecting one member to the next by making a parallel or four bar linkage. The longer those arms, the "flatter” is the arc of movement of the downstream member and the more it approximates to rectilinear motion. This will be acceptable for most practical purposes.
- one member When one member is elongate and its motion relative to the immediately preceding member or the base is transverse to its length, said one member may be carried by said arms at one end and by a pivot at the other end. The transverse movement will then be arcuate about the pivot . So if the elongate member has sway imparted by the arms at one end, it also has an element of yaw imposed by the pivot. However, if the length is substantial, the angle of yaw will be small and to someone at the arms' end the predominant motion will be sway. For practical purposes, the member can be regarded 3
- three degrees of freedom are offered: surge, sway and roll. These are suitable for vehicle driving simulations.
- the first member of the sequence is suspended by swinging arms from the base and the second member of the sequence is suspended by swinging arms from the first member, the pivot axes all being horizontal, with those of the second set of arms at right angles to those of the first set.
- the last member is directly pivoted to the second member of the sequence, the pivot axis being horizontal .
- Either the first or second member could be the elongate member referred to above, carried by arms at one end and a pivot at the other.
- each set will be parallel, but if desired they could be non-parallel, making a four bar linkage that would introduce into the surge motion, for example, an element of pitch and into the sway motion an element of roll .
- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a motion generator
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of one end of the generator, with some parts omitted
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of that one end from another angle with other parts omitted
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of the opposite end of the generator with further parts omitted.
- the apparatus has an elongate rectangular base 1 with pairs of triangulated upright sub- frames 2 at opposite ends.
- the tops of these sub-frames have journals 3 for suspending further sub-frames 4 which can swing in the longitudinal direction of the base between the associated sub-frames 2.
- They carry, through journals 5 at their lower ends, another frame 6, referred to herein as the surge frame, and this has a pair of triangulated upright sub-frames 7 at one end joined by a cross-bar 8 at the top.
- Two arms 9 are pivoted to and hang down from this cross-bar, one on each side of the surge frame 6 and can swing transversely to the frame and hence to the base 1. They carry between them at their lower ends the rear end of a frame 10, referred to herein as the sway frame.
- the sway frame 10 carries a platform 13 pivoted by journals 14 about a central longitudinal axis between the ends of the frame 10. This will be referred to as the roll platform and the payload 12 is carried by it. There are therefore the following possible motions, alone or in combination:
- the surge motor 15 is mounted on the base and couples to the surge frame 6 through an arm 16 and connecting rod 17, as best seen in Figure 2. As the arm 16 swings, so the rod 17 pushes and pulls the frame 6 longitudinally of the base 1.
- the sway motor 18 is mounted between the sub-frames 7 and couples to the sway frame 10 through an arm 19 and connecting rod 20, as best seen in Figure 3. As the arm 19 swings so the rod 20 pushes and pulls the rear end of frame
- the roll motor 21 is mounted on the surge frame 6 at 6
