SPHERICAL SIMULATOR OF VESTIBULAR APPARATUS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A63G31/00 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: in spherical simulator of vestibular apparatus, consisting of a rack 11, supporting the installation, links, capsule 8, connected by hinges, a drive, according to which, the leading spherical crank 6 is introduced as the links, a spherical rod 7, a leading spherical rod 9, and are connected to each other and to the capsule 8 hingedly, the axes of which are arranged to intersect at one point, drive is made of a two-wheel drive, consisting of a pair of motor-reducers fixed to the rack. Each link is made in the form of arcs, and the capsule 8 is rotatable along the circumference, with respect to all links of the arcs. The lengths of the links of the arcs are not the same, depending on the angles of the links, at which the angle between the axes of the hinges, the leading spherical rod 9, the capsule 8 and the driving spherical crank 6, is made smaller angles between the hinge axes, a leading spherical crank and a spherical rod 7, in addition, the capsule 8 is hingedly connected on one side through a spherical rod 7, with the motor-reducer of the driving spherical crank 6, on the other side the capsule 8 is pivotally connected through the driving spherical rod 9, rigidly connected to the central shaft 10 of the geared motor of the driving spherical rod 12. The central shaft 10 of the geared motor of the driving spherical rod 12 is located in the hollow shaft 5 of the gear wheel 4 of the pinion 3 and is rotatably mounted relative to each other, providing a capsule 8 with spatially spherical movements. In the spherical simulator of the vestibular apparatus, each motor-reducer is equipped with a frequency converter controlled by a computer.

EFFECT: expansion of the technological capabilities of spherical simulator, providing regulation of angular velocity and angular accelerations and capsules in space with the simultaneous expansion of device functionality leading to improved efficiency of the spherical simulator of the vestibular apparatus.
