Figure 1 is a perspective view of a tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention, and Figure 2 is a perspective view schematically showing the internal configuration of the tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention.

The tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention provides the operator trainee with a variety of environments for controlling an actual tracked vehicle, maximizing training immersion by reproducing the realistic movement, vibration, noise, and shock of the tracked vehicle. It relates to a simulator capable of operating a tracked vehicle, comprising: a control chamber (100), an input unit (200), an output unit (300), a database unit (400), a communication unit (500), a motion platform (600), and a control unit (700). It is composed including.

The control chamber 100 provides a space for simulating a tracked vehicle, and may be of a box-shaped type, as shown in the attached drawing.

This control chamber 100 provides a space to provide various training courses for tracked vehicles so that one can acquire skills to control an actual tracked vehicle, and includes an input unit 200, an output unit 300, and a database, which will be described later. It is a stand-alone simulator equipped with a unit 400, a communication unit 500, and a control unit 700, and is installed on the ground by a motion platform 600. It is a box-type simulator, which not only improves space utilization but also enables the use of actual track vehicles. By implementing the input unit 200, the sense of immersion in training is improved.

Meanwhile, in FIG. 1, the shape of the control chamber 100 is shown as a box, but depending on design conditions, it can be of any shape as long as the internal space and external space of the control chamber 100 for control are formed separately. Of course.

Furthermore, since the control chamber 100 is manufactured from a lighter material than an actual tracked vehicle, it has the advantage of being lightweight and thus more space-efficient as well as easier to move.

In addition, the control chamber 100 is installed on the ground by a motion platform 600, which will be described later. At this time, a locking device is installed on the lower side of the motion platform 600 supported on the ground to enable smooth movement of the control chamber 100. A wheel (caster) may be provided, or a through hole may be formed at the bottom through the front and rear so that the fork of a forklift can be inserted, or a separate hook may be provided at the top or side so that it can be caught by a crane, etc. there is.

Here, a wheel (caster) refers to a wheel that makes a rolling motion to facilitate the movement of heavy objects.

The input unit 200 is provided inside the control chamber 100 and performs an interface function through which information for control is input.

This input unit 200 may include a steering wheel, a brake pedal, a parking pedal, a shift lever, an accelerator pedal, etc., and may be configured in the same way as various input units such as a handle or button provided on an actual tracked vehicle.

The output unit 300 performs a function of outputting information about simulated driving, and includes a front monitor 310 and an observation monitor 320.

At this time, the output unit 300 can be configured to display in various languages, thereby enabling the use of multinational languages in various countries.

In addition, the output unit 300 is equipped with a microphone and a speaker as well as video to enable voice communication and sound notifications.

The front monitor 310 is provided outside the control chamber 100 and outputs a driving image including the background, driving path, surrounding environment information, or tracked vehicle driving information stored in the database unit 400.

This front monitor 310 can be equipped to secure a wide left and right viewing angle by arranging the wide monitor horizontally and horizontally. Accordingly, the entire content required for training is placed on one screen so that the image information can be checked with the naked eye correctly and intuitively. make it possible

At this time, as shown in FIG. 1, the front monitor 310 may be placed on the front side of the outer upper part of the control chamber 100 so that the operator trainee can visually check the front monitor 310.

This means that when a pilot trainee wants to visually observe the outside of the control chamber 100 using a periscope from inside the control chamber 100, the external image shown by the periscope is displayed on the front monitor 310 located on the front side of the periscope. It is output through , allowing the pilot trainee to visually identify the external image from inside the manipulation chamber 100.

In addition, when the pilot trainee opens the hatch provided in the manipulation chamber 100 and wishes to directly observe the outside of the manipulation chamber 100 with the naked eye, open the hatch, stick his head out of the manipulation chamber 100, and use the front monitor 310. By directly observing with the naked eye, it is possible to identify the image shown from the outside of the actual orbital vehicle.

That is, the front monitor 310 outputs and displays images seen from the outside of the actual tracked vehicle on the monitor, so that the pilot trainee can receive the same training as driving the tracked vehicle on an actual road.

Depending on design conditions, the output unit 300 may be configured to include a VR HMD to be worn on the head by a pilot training operator.

This allows the driver trainee to selectively check the front monitor 310 directly with the naked eye, visually through a periscope, or obtain actual vehicle operation information through a VR HMD in the process of visually checking the video image. , an immersive training environment can be implemented.

The observation monitor 320 is provided outside the control chamber 100 and functions to display and output the screen output from the front monitor 310 or the VR HMD.

This observation monitor 320 allows the pilot trainee to observe with the naked eye from inside the control chamber 100, the recorded video according to the training stored in the database unit 400. It is used to check or to be observed by a separate observer from outside while the pilot is in control.

At this time, the observation monitor 320 may be composed of a monitor (a) that outputs the field of view of the pilot trainee and a monitor (b) that outputs an image to check the training situation, if explained with reference to FIG. 3.

This monitor (a) displays the driver's field of view, that is, when the driver observes the driving image with the naked eye through the front monitor 310, the corresponding image is output or the driver trainee displays the driving image through the VR HMD. When observing, the image shown on the VR HMD is output.

Additionally, the monitor (b) is used by a separate observer to check the training situation. At this time, the image displayed and output through the monitor (b) can be output by selecting road view or sky view.

Here, the road view means that the same image as the front monitor 310 image or VR HMD image observed by the pilot trainee is output, and the sky view refers to the trajectory on which the pilot trainee is driving, as shown in (b) of FIG. This refers to an image that can be seen from the top to the bottom, centered on the vehicle.

Additionally, the observation monitor 320 may be equipped with an input function.

Here, the input function may be configured to input specific information by operating a physical button, or the monitor may be equipped with a touch panel and input specific information by touching the touch panel.

Depending on design conditions, it may be provided outside the control chamber 100, and a rear monitor may be continuously arranged on the side of the front monitor 310.

This rear monitor performs the function of outputting an image of an area (space) that cannot be output by the front monitor 310 alone.

Preferably, an image other than the image output from the front monitor 310 is output while the pilot trainee opens the hatch of the control chamber 100 and exposes his head to the outside to observe the surroundings with the naked eye.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the rear monitor may be placed on the side of the front monitor 310 in a surround shape.

Accordingly, the pilot trainee can easily observe the side and rear sides as well as the front image of the manipulation chamber 100 output on the front monitor 310.

Such a surround-type front monitor 310 and rear monitor enable the pilot trainee to check the image information surrounding the control chamber 100, which can be viewed when using the VR HMD, through the image output to the monitor. This can be used in cases where it is difficult to use a VR HMD.

That is, video data is used for the user to open the hatch and observe not only the front, but also the side and rear sides of the control chamber 100.

The database unit 400 stores information about the running of the tracked vehicle, including the background, driving path, surrounding environment information, running information of the tracked vehicle, and road map.

This database unit 400 preferably updates stored information in real time, and may be configured to allow new information to be input and stored through the input unit 200.

The communication unit 500 performs a function of transmitting and receiving data through mutual wired and wireless communication between a plurality of simulators.

In other words, the communication unit 500 can support joint training by enabling a plurality of simulators to communicate with each other to transmit and receive data, and further to implement a network system.

Furthermore, the communication unit 500 may be configured to enable communication with a separate terminal such as a smartphone or tablet.

Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a motion platform in the tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention, and Figure 6 is a side view showing the driving unit in the tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention.

The motion platform 600 performs the linear and rotational motion functions of the manipulation chamber 100 and includes a support part 610 and a driving part 620.

This motion platform 600 is intended to allow pilot trainees to feel a sense of reality similar to reality in a virtual reality environment, and allows them to feel sensations such as vibration and shock based on the operation information of the actual tracked vehicle.

In other words, it allows for the implementation of an immersive training environment.

The support part 610 is supported on the floor, and a driving part 620, which will be described later, is installed on the upper side.

At this time, since the support part 610 is provided with three driving parts 620, which will be described later, as shown in FIG. 5, the support part 610 can be connected to the frame, and each driving part 620 is formed in a triangular shape so that it is installed at the corner side. You can.

That is, by connecting the positions where each of the three driving units 620 are installed with a plurality of frames, the load applied in the direction in which the control chamber 100 is tilted during the straight movement and rotation movement of the control chamber 100 is reduced. By distributing it evenly, fatigue applied to a specific drive unit 620 can be minimized.

The drive unit 620 is installed on the upper side of the support unit 610 and supports the lower side of the control chamber 100, and includes an actuator 621, a crank pin 622, a connecting rod 623, a piston 624, and a connection part ( 625).

At this time, the driving units 620 are arranged on the upper side of the support unit 610 to be radially spaced apart from the upper and lower axes. As shown in FIG. 5, the three driving units 620 are arranged to be spaced apart from each other.

This drive unit 620 is a crank rod-type drive actuator operated by a servo electric motor, and transmits the linear motion generated as the crank pin 622 rotates to the bottom of the control chamber 100, thereby controlling the control chamber 100. Virtual up and down linear movement (Heave) is possible.

For example, when the driving unit 620 is operated and the connecting rod 623 is moved upward by rotation of the crank pin 622, which will be described later, the control chamber 100 supported by the three driving units 620 is also moved upward. It moves, and conversely, when the connecting rod 623 moves downward due to the rotation of the crank pin 622, the control chamber 100 also moves downward.

In addition, when described with reference to FIG. 5, the plurality of driving units 620 are provided in three pieces spaced apart from each other, thereby enabling forward and backward rotation (pitch) and left and right rotation (roll).

For example, in the three-piece drive unit 620, if the connecting rod 623 of the drive unit 620 located on the front side is moved higher than the connecting rod 623 of the drive unit 620 located on the back side, the control chamber (100) In addition, the front side is lifted upward and tilted, and conversely, the connecting rod 623 of the driving part 620 located on the back side is moved more upward than the connecting rod 623 of the driving part 620 located on the front side. When moved, the rear side of the control chamber 100 is also lifted upward and tilted.

As another example, when the connecting rod 623 of the driving unit 620 located on one side of the three driving units 620 is moved higher than the connecting rod 623 of the driving unit 620 located on the other side, the control chamber 100 Also, one side is lifted upward and tilted.

Accordingly, the motion platform 600, which consists of three driving units 620, is configured to enable up and down linear movement (Heave), forward and backward rotational movement (Pitch), and left and right rotational movement (Roll), thereby enabling actual It is possible to realize even the slightest shaking caused by the movement of the tracked vehicle, maximizing training immersion.

In addition, the movement that occurs while the pilot trainee controls the control chamber 100 through the input unit 200 can be implemented to be the same as the movement that occurs when the tracked vehicle is actually driven.

For example, if there is an obstacle such as a separate object or a hill on the driving path, the movement of the actual tracked vehicle is implemented in the process of passing it, and the driving unit 620 is operated to operate the control chamber 100 to perform linear motion and rotation. The movement is implemented so you can feel the real feeling of avoiding real obstacles or climbing hills.

Hereinafter, the driving unit 620 configured as described above will be described in detail.

The actuator 621 is installed on the upper side of the support part 610 and is configured to be operated by a servo electric motor.

The crank pin 622 is rotatably coupled to the actuator 621 about the rotation axis 622a.

At this time, the rotation shaft 622a is formed on both sides of the actuator 621, and the crank pin 622 is composed of a pair and is rotatably coupled to each of the rotation shafts 622a provided on both sides of the actuator 621.

The connecting rod 623 is disposed eccentrically with the rotation axis 622a and is rotatably connected to each end of a pair of crank pins 622.

The piston 624 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the connecting rod 623, and a connecting portion 625, which will be described later, is coupled to the upper side.

At this time, the connecting rod 623 is rotatably connected to each of a pair of crank pins 622, and then the upper ends are connected to each other, so that the front, rear, and lower sides are open. It is formed in a ∩' shape and may be provided to surround a portion of the outer circumferential surface of the actuator 621.

Furthermore, the piston 624 may be rotatably coupled to the top of the upper portion connected to the connecting rod 623.

In addition, as another example, the connecting rods 623 are rotatably connected to each of a pair of crank pins 622, and then the upper ends of the pair of connecting rods 623 are connected to each other by a piston 624. The piston 624 may be rotatably coupled to the connecting rod 623.

According to this configuration, the drive unit 620 rotates the crank pin 622 around the rotation axis 622a, and as the connecting rod 623 and the piston 624 are also configured to rotate with each other, the crank rod The type drive system reduces costs due to simplification of drive, allows equipment to be operated safely without mechanical collision despite problems such as control signal malfunction or noise, and rotates by servo motor operation through a worm reducer. According to the principle of decelerating and increasing rotational torque, the load of the control chamber 100 can be withheld even when a low-power servo motor is used, and thus flexible motion movement can be implemented.

Figure 7 is a perspective view showing a connection part in the tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention, and Figure 8 is an exploded perspective view showing the connection part in the tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention.

The connection portion 625 is connected to the upper side of the piston 624 and coupled to the lower side to support the control chamber 100, and includes a bracket 625a, a ball joint 625b, and a clamp 625c.

This connection part 625 is connected between the control chamber 100 and the driving part 620 and provides a sphere motion due to the morphological characteristics of the ball joint 625b, thereby providing motion according to the operation of the three driving parts 620. It allows exercise to be implemented more precisely and flexibly.

The bracket 625a is provided on the lower side of the connection part 625 and is coupled to the upper side of the driving part 620, that is, the upper side of the piston 624. A pair of brackets 625a protrude upward from the piston 624. It comes true.

The ball joint 625b is rotatably coupled to the bracket 625a, and is inserted and connected to the through hole 625d of the clamp 625c, which will be described later. When explained with reference to FIG. 8, the middle portion is a sphere. ) shape, and the protruding shafts on both sides are rotatably supported on brackets.

Clamp 625c surrounds a portion of ball joint 625b and is coupled to the lower side of the manipulation chamber 100.

At this time, the clamp 625c and the control chamber 100 may be firmly coupled by fastening an anchor bolt to the lower side of the control chamber 100.

This clamp 625c is formed with a through hole 625d penetrating both sides to surround a portion of the ball joint 625b, and the through hole 625d corresponds to the sphere shape of the ball joint 625b. The outer surface of the ball joint 625b and the adjacent surface may be curved.

This connection part 625 connects the driving part 620 and the control chamber 100, and provides sphere movement due to the morphological characteristics of the ball joint 625b, so that the three driving parts 620 operate according to the operation. By enabling motion movements to be implemented more precisely and flexibly, it is possible to provide pilot trainees with the feeling of driving an actual tracked vehicle.

Figure 9 is a configuration diagram showing the control unit in the tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention, and Figure 10 is a configuration diagram showing the joint training module in the tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention.

The control unit 700 performs the function of controlling the operation of the tracked vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention, including the independent training module 710, joint training module 720, driving module 730, and exhibition module 740. ) and an evaluation module 750.

This control unit 700 performs the function of controlling the entire operation of the simulator.

The independent training module 710 performs a function for independent training of the simulator.

This independent training module 710 can be configured to be selected through the input unit 200, and during independent training, the pilot trainee can select the corresponding mode to perform independent training.

The joint training module 720 performs a function for joint training between a plurality of simulators connected by the communication unit 500.

That is, the communication unit 500 implements a network system between the plurality of simulators to enable communication, thereby enabling joint training.

This joint training module 720 allows pilot trainees to select sky view image output so that multiple simulators participating in training, that is, multiple orbital vehicles, can all be displayed on the monitor.

Accordingly, by allowing driver trainees to share driving information, routes, and surrounding environment information of multiple tracked vehicles through skyview video output, correct driving of multiple tracked vehicles is achieved simultaneously, and further, collisions between tracked vehicles are ensured. It allows you to train your judgment and senses to avoid interference.

At this time, the joint training module 720 may be configured to include a leading group training module 721 and a rear group training module 722.

The leading group training module 721 and the rear group training module 722 include a control chamber 100 that acts as a commander and a control chamber that acts as a unit member in the process of joint training between multiple simulators through the communication unit 500 ( 100), and by providing different information to each control chamber 100, the training is carried out by dividing the commander and unit members to command the plurality of control chambers 100, thereby determining the status (rank) of the control trainee. Ensure that learning and training are conducted accordingly.

Additionally, in the case where the commander is absent, the lead group training module 721 may be configured to be operated by a separate manager or instructor through the observation monitor 320 provided outside the control chamber 100.

In this way, the joint training module 720 allows training to be conducted by dividing the lead group and the rear group, so that training can be conducted in various environments, such as spreading out or gathering according to the commander's command while multiple tracked vehicles are running. Furthermore, not only commanders but also unit members can improve their judgment ability so that multiple tracked vehicles can run smoothly.

For example, when multiple tracked vehicles enter an urban area with narrow roads and it is difficult for the tracked vehicle located in the front group among multiple tracked vehicles to continue running due to obstacles, etc., the tracked vehicle located in the rear must move backwards first. It must be done. In other words, the joint training module 720 can provide a training environment so that multiple tracked vehicles can run in an orderly manner even in such special situations.

The driving module 730 performs a function of outputting information according to the driving of the tracked vehicle through the output unit 300.

This driving module 730 outputs information about the currently running tracked vehicle through the front monitor 310 and the observation monitor 320.

At this time, during joint training, the driving module 730 allows the driver trainee to select road view or sky view to output images to determine where each of the plurality of tracked vehicles is located or whether the overall formation of the multiple tracked vehicles is well maintained. It allows you to train your judgment and senses.

At this time, the driving module 730 may be configured to include an obstacle identification module.

The obstacle identification module provides location information on the track on which the tracked vehicle travels has special terrain such as urban areas, curves, and side slopes, as well as obstacle information on additional obstacles such as vertical obstacles or trenches along the route.

That is, the obstacle identification module controls the tilt of the control chamber 100 by driving the motion platform 600 through the driving module 730 when driving the tracked vehicle in an environment where special terrain or separate obstacles exist, and controls the driving of the tracked vehicle. It helps pilot trainees develop the judgment skills to determine whether this is possible or impossible.

The display module 740, along with the driving module 730, performs the function of outputting information according to the display status of the tracked vehicle through the output unit 300.

This exhibition module 740 can be selected through the input unit 200 or the control unit 700, and allows training for special situations such as exhibitions.

Furthermore, the exhibition module 740 allows training on movement, route search, and formation maintenance according to the spread or assembly of a plurality of tracked vehicles in accordance with training guidelines during joint training.

For example, during joint training, when an enemy appears ahead while a plurality of tracked vehicles are driving in a line along a city road through the driving module 730, a plurality of tracked vehicles move to the left and right in accordance with the training guidelines. Ensure that training is carried out so that it can be spread out.

Such training is notified to the driver trainee through the output unit 300, and feedback is provided according to whether the tracked vehicle has been driven, thereby increasing the degree of training of the driver trainee.

The evaluation module 750 converts the actual training content into a database after training and stores it in the database unit 400, and compares the actual training content stored with the training instructions stored in the database unit 400 to output a report. Perform.

In other words, through reporting based on training performance, pilot trainees can check the evaluation of the training, score it, and obtain objective evaluation indicators.

Here, the scoring is performed by checking the startup time by manipulating the input unit 200, the method of passing a specific path (course), the time required, etc. for each item, scoring them and outputting them, thereby determining pass or fail according to a certain score. , Additionally, a grade can be assigned.

Accordingly, the pilot trainee can maximize the training effect by providing feedback on the strengths, weaknesses, and shortcomings of the training, so that various problems can be corrected.

Depending on design conditions, the control unit 700 may be configured to further include a unique ID management module 760 and an emergency training module 770, as shown in FIG. 11.

The unique ID management module 760 determines the grade for each pilot trainee through the pilot trainee's personal information and determines promotion, omission, or demotion of the grade according to the results output through the evaluation module 750. Perform.

At this time, the unique ID management module 760 may be configured to select a sky view that can be output through the output unit 300 according to the grade of the pilot trainee.

For example, if the grade of the pilot trainee is low, the sky view can be selected through the output unit 300, so that the low-grade pilot trainee can observe the entire surrounding environment while driving the tracked vehicle and see terrain features, etc. at a glance. By making it recognizable, you can focus on training to develop your senses. If the pilot trainee's grade is promoted beyond a certain standard, the sky view cannot be selected through the output unit 300, so only the screen shown on the actual tracked vehicle is output. Do as much as possible to improve the skill and judgment of pilot trainees.

The emergency training module 770 performs a function to enable training in the event of a breakdown (damage) to the tracked vehicle while the tracked vehicle is traveling through the driving module 730.

For example, it is possible to determine whether self-diagnosis and self-repair are possible when damage occurs to a tracked vehicle, or whether repair is not possible and evacuation is necessary, and timing training for restart due to engine failure can be performed.

In addition, the emergency training module 770 performs a function of notifying the amount of damage to a damaged tracked vehicle among a plurality of tracked vehicles during joint training.

This allows to provide information on tracked vehicles that have suffered damage when running multiple tracked vehicles, and detects and notifies the amount of damage to a specific tracked vehicle in wartime situations, allowing normal large-scale training, spread training, or group training to be carried out. Ensure that training is provided to cope with untenable situations.

According to this configuration, the track vehicle operator trainee simulator according to the present invention can maximize training immersion by reproducing conditions such as vibration, noise, and shock based on the operation information of the actual track vehicle.

In addition, the present invention can implement an immersive training environment by providing a sense of reality similar to reality in a virtual reality environment through a VR HMD.

In addition, the present invention implements a network system to enable multi-training by a plurality of independent simulators, thereby enabling individual and joint training, allowing pilot trainees to acquire a variety of information.

In addition, the present invention provides a checklist output function according to training evaluation after training, thereby providing feedback on the pilot trainee's strengths, weaknesses, and shortcomings, thereby maximizing the training effect.

In the above description, various embodiments of the present invention have been presented and explained, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and those skilled in the art will understand various embodiments without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It can be seen that branch substitution, transformation, and change are possible.
