Rudder simulation device for sailing boat driving training

Abstract

The invention discloses a rudder simulation device for sailing boat driving training. The rudder simulation device comprises a fixed plate, a variable damping device, a control connecting rod, a driving device, a tensioning device and an electric signal feedback device, wherein the fixed plate is arranged at the tail of a sailing boat for driving simulation; the variable damping device is arranged on the surface of the fixed plate; the variable damping device comprises a spiral chute drum and a simulation rudder shaft, and the spiral chute drum is used for changing torque blocked by the rotation of the simulation rudder shaft; the control connecting rod is arranged at the upper end of the simulation rudder shaft and is used for rotating the simulation rudder shaft and transmitting the resistance moment of the simulation rudder shaft to an operator; the driving device is used for driving the spiral chute drum and converting the electric signal into an angle of the spiral chute drum; the tensioning device is used for ensuring enough friction force between a synchronous belt and the spiral chute drum; and the electric signal feedback device is used for converting the angle information of the simulation rudder shaft and the limit position information of the spiral chute drum into electric signals.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of driving simulation, in particular to a friction-type simulated rudder device for sailboat driving training with adjustable damping. Background technique [0002] Sailing is a water sport. Athletes operate equipment such as sails and tillers, use the natural wind force to make the sailboat move forward, and make full use of the influence of wind and waves during the driving process. When driving a sailing simulation, three aspects are mainly considered, namely the control of the sail, rudder and weight distribution respectively. Athletes change the windward area and direction of the sail by pulling the sail rope, provide sailing power for the sailboat, and maintain the balance of the sailboat under the action of the stabilizer board and the athlete's own weight distribution. The rudder of a small sailboat is generally arranged at the stern, and has a tiller and an operating rod connected to the rudder stock, where...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Due to the difference between water and land environments, the rudder blades of the simulated driving boats will not be subject to forces that vary with the angle of the rudder blades and the size of the water flow, making it difficult for athletes to obtain more realistic force feedback when operating the rudder, which will affect the athletes' understanding of the rudder. Judgment of own driving state and driving strategy

[0004] In addition, in the process of training with the rudder of a real ship, the angle information of the rudder stock cannot be read by the computer to form effective feedback, and the motion and visual simulation system cannot make real-time changes according to the user's operation, which reduces the reality of sailing training. sex
