CLAMPING SYSTEM FOR DRIVING SIMULATORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/053205
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A fastening system for driving simulators solves a technical problem of a budget-priced way of simulating the activities of vertical forces between a vehicle underbody and the road and simulation of the tilt of the vehicle. The challenge is solved in a way that the fastening system for driving simulation comprises a base (1), on which a rear bottom support plate (2) is fastened, the system is driven via shaft (5) that is arranged on an eccentric (13) connected with an arm (8) through a shaft (6). The arm (8) is fastened into an upper rear support plate (3) and the latter is connected with a platform (4), a gas spring (7) is also fastened to the platform (4). The angle between the arm (7) and the vertical in the bottommost position ranges from 25 0 to 35 ° and the angle between the gas spring (7) and the vertical ranges from 7 ° to 13 °.

Description:
FASTENING SYSTEM FOR DRIVING SIMULATORS

The object of the invention is a fastening system for motor vehicle driving simulators that provides for budget-priced simulation of activity of vertical forces between a vehicle underbody and the road and simulation of the tilt of a vehicle.

The technical problem that is solved by the invention is a technologically simple and consequently budget-priced way of simulating the activities of vertical forces between a vehicle underbody and the road and simulating the tilt of a vehicle. Budget-priced technical solutions to driving simulators do not enable simulation of vertical forces and tilt. The existing simulators which enable simulation of the activities of vertical forces between the vehicle underbody and the road and of the tilt of the vehicle are normally designed in the manner of a large fully movable platform. The solutions of this kind are very expensive due to being sophisticated and consisting of a large number of constituents. The invention solves the technical problem with an innovative concept in a simple and consequently budget-priced way.

Several technical solutions to the operation of a driving simulator are known: PL121744 (U1), MX2013010108 (A), KR20140060610 (A) and CN103763719 (A). All these solutions share a common property, namely they do not solve simulation of the activities of vertical forces between the vehicle underbody and the road and of the tilt of the vehicle in a simple way.

The budged-priced simulation of the activities of vertical forces between the vehicle underbody and the road and simulation of the tilt of the vehicle is solved as follows: a four-degree-of-freedom system is used for the movability of a platform. Rotary electric motors are used for the movement, an arm is eccentrically fastened to a shaft of each of them, said arm being used to change the movement from a rotary movement of the motor shaft to the vertical linear movement of the arm. A system is thus obtained, in which the position of the body or the platform is defined at any moment by four variables or four shafts. The bottom and the upper part of the movable platform are connected with four vertical arms and in parallel also with four gas springs, the purpose of which is to prevent sinking of the upper part of the platform, unloading of the motors and smoother movement of the platform.

The invention will be described by way of an embodiment and the drawings representing in

Figure 1 : Uppermost position - rear view

Figure 2: Bottommost position - rear view

Figure 3: Tilt - rear view

Figure 4: Uppermost position - front view

Figure 5: Bottommost position - front view Figure 6: Tilt - front view

A fastening system for driving simulators comprises a base 1 , on which a rear bottom support plate 2 is fastened. The system is driven via shaft 5 that is arranged on an eccentric 13 connected with an arm 8 through a shaft 6. The arm 8 is fastened into an upper rear support plate 3 and the latter is connected with a platform 4. A gas spring 7 is also fastened to the platform 4. Similarly at the front side, an arm 11 is fastened into a front bottom support plate 9 and a gas spring 12 is fastened into an upper support plate 10. A distance between the shafts 5 at the front side is by 1/3 longer than at the rear side. The angle between the arm 7 and the vertical in the bottommost position ranges from 25 0 to 35 0 and the angle between the gas spring 7 and the vertical ranges from 7 ° to 13 °.
