MOVING SYSTEM OF VEHICLE SIMULATOR Russian patent published in 1996 - IPC

FIELD: training facilities; moving system of vehicle simulator reproducing acceleration effects by displacement of movable platform in space at three degrees of freedom. SUBSTANCE: moving system of vehicle simulator has fixed base 1 with supports 2, three hydraulic cylinders hinge-connected by rods with movable platform 8 of operator's cab. Used in movable system are three guides 3 mechanically coupled by ends with supports. Guides are made for turning about longitudinal axis and are arranged on base so that two guides are parallel to each other and third guide is square to and arranged equidistantly from the first two guides. Bases of hydraulic cylinder housings are installed on guides, three crank sliding mechanisms have levers whose ends are hinge-connected, respectively, with sliders and rods 7 of hydraulic cylinders, end of cranks 4 are hinge-connected with base of hydraulic cylinder housings and middle portion of levers. Axis of rod travel passes through axis of crank rotation, and lengths of cranks and lever arms are equal. EFFECT: increased accuracy of simulation of movement of platform with three degrees of freedom. 9 dwg
