Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary tooling technology for automobile driving simulators, and in particular to a support device for automobile driving simulators. Background Technology
[0002] A car driving simulator uses virtual reality simulation technology to create a virtual driving training environment. Users interact with this virtual environment through the simulator's control components, thus undergoing driving training. A car driving simulator consists of a main body and a base (both equipped with crossbars), with the front of the main body rotatably connected to the base. During the production stage, to facilitate assembly, support rods are typically used to support the main body of the car driving simulator, creating a certain angle between it and the base. However, ordinary support rods only provide basic support; their ends are prone to slippage between the main body and the crossbars in the base, resulting in poor support and a high risk of accidents.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A support device for a car driving simulator includes a support column, an upper positioning component, a lower positioning component, and a locking mechanism;
[0006] Both the upper and lower positioning components are U-shaped groove structures.
[0007] The upper end of the support column is connected to the outer bottom surface of the upper positioning member, and the bottom plate of the upper positioning member is not perpendicular to the support column and is inclined to one side.
[0008] The lower end of the support column is connected to the outer bottom surface of the lower positioning component, and the bottom plate of the lower positioning component is perpendicular to the support column.
[0009] The locking mechanism is mounted on the support column and is used to lock the crossbar inside the upper positioning component;

[0012] The handle is rotatably connected to one side of the support column;
[0013] The locking rod is rotatably connected to the other side of the support column;
[0014] The support column is provided with a through hole. The second connecting rod passes through the through hole on the support column and is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod. The end of the first connecting rod away from the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the handle, and the end of the second connecting rod away from the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the middle of the locking rod.
[0015] The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the middle of the locking rod and the support column;

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0024] This utility model provides a support device for a car driving simulator. An upper positioning component and a lower positioning component are connected to both ends of a support column. First, the lower positioning component forms a positioning engagement with the crossbar in the base of the car driving simulator. Then, the upper positioning component forms a positioning engagement with the crossbar in the main body of the car driving simulator, thereby supporting the main body of the car driving simulator and making it at a certain angle to the base of the car driving simulator. At the same time, the lower positioning component is prevented from slipping off the crossbar in the base of the car driving simulator by the limiting plate provided on the lower positioning component, and the crossbar in the main body of the car driving simulator is prevented from slipping off the upper positioning component by the locking mechanism provided on the support column.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 As shown, a car driving simulator support device includes a support column 1, an upper positioning member 3, a lower positioning member 2, and a locking mechanism 4.
[0033] Both the upper positioning component 3 and the lower positioning component 2 are U-shaped groove structures, that is, both the upper positioning component 3 and the lower positioning component 2 include a bottom plate and two side plates.
[0034] In this embodiment, the two side plates of the upper positioning member 3 and the lower positioning member 2 are not at the same height.
[0035] The upper end of the support column 1 is connected to the outer bottom surface of the upper positioning member 3, and the bottom plate of the upper positioning member 3 is not perpendicular to the support column 1 and is inclined to one side, thereby supporting the crossbar in the main body of the car driving simulator. The locking mechanism is provided on the support column 1 to lock the crossbar in the upper positioning member 3 and prevent the crossbar in the main body of the car driving simulator from slipping out of the upper positioning member 3.
[0036] Preferably, the upper edges of both side plates of the upper positioning member 3 are provided with guide plates 5, which are inclined outward from the groove of the upper positioning member 3. After adding the guide plates 5, the crossbar in the main body of the car driving simulator can more easily enter the upper positioning member 3.
[0037] The lower end of the support column 1 is connected to the outer bottom surface of the lower positioning member 2, and the bottom plate of the lower positioning member 2 is perpendicular to the support column 1, thereby supporting the crossbar in the base of the car driving simulator. The lower edges of both side plates of the lower positioning member 2 are provided with limiting plates 6. The limiting plates 6 are tilted to one side of the lower positioning member 2 to prevent the lower positioning member 2 from slipping off the crossbar in the base of the car driving simulator.
[0038] In this embodiment, for example, the support column 1 is a square hollow tube; the guide plate 5 is integrally formed with the upper positioning member 3; and the limiting plate 6 is integrally formed with the lower positioning member 2.
[0039] The support device connects an upper positioning component 3 and a lower positioning component 2 to both ends of the support column 1. First, the lower positioning component 2 forms a positioning engagement with the crossbar in the base of the car driving simulator, and then the upper positioning component 3 forms a positioning engagement with the crossbar in the main body of the car driving simulator, thereby supporting the main body of the car driving simulator and making it at a certain angle to the base of the car driving simulator. At the same time, the limiting plate 6 provided on the lower positioning component 2 prevents the lower positioning component 2 from slipping off the crossbar in the base of the car driving simulator, and the locking mechanism 4 provided on the support column 1 prevents the crossbar in the main body of the car driving simulator from slipping off the upper positioning component 3.
[0040] According to the above design, this utility model can quickly support the main body of the car driving simulator, so that it is at a certain angle to the base of the car driving simulator, which is conducive to the assembly of the car driving simulator. Moreover, the positioning fit between the upper positioning part 3 and the crossbar in the main body of the car driving simulator and the lower positioning part 2 and the crossbar in the base of the car driving simulator is very reliable and will not easily slip off, with excellent support effect.
[0041] Please see Figures 2-3 As shown, in the above technical solution, the locking mechanism 4 includes a handle 8, a first connecting rod 10, a second connecting rod 11, a locking pressure rod 13, and a spring 14. The specific connection relationship of each component is as follows:
[0042] The handle 8 is rotatably connected to one side of the support column 1 via the first rotating seat 7;
[0043] The locking lever 13 is rotatably connected to the other side of the support column 1 via the second rotating seat 12;
[0044] The support column 1 is provided with a through hole 101. The second connecting rod 11 passes through the through hole 101 provided on the support column 1 and is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 10. The end of the first connecting rod 10 away from the second connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected to the middle of the handle 8, and the end of the second connecting rod 11 away from the first connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the middle of the locking rod 13.
[0045] The two ends of the spring 14 are connected to the middle of the locking rod 13 and the support column 1, respectively;
[0046] An opening 301 is provided on the side plate corresponding to the upper positioning member 3 and the locking rod 13, for the locking rod 13 to extend into the groove of the upper positioning member 3.
[0047] Preferably, the support column 1 has several vertically arranged connection holes 102, and the spring 14 is detachably connected to one of the connection holes 102. The multiple connection holes 102 allow for interchangeable connection points between the spring 14 and the support column 1, thereby adjusting the locking force of the locking mechanism 4.
[0048] In this embodiment, for example, the opening 301 extends to the guide plate 5 provided on the upper edge of the two side plates of the upper positioning member 3; the first connecting rod 10 is a U-shaped rod structure, and a rotating shaft 9 is rotatably provided in the middle of the handle 8. The non-open end of the first connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 11, and the open end of the first connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating shaft 9.
[0049] The locking mechanism is used as follows:
[0050] Pressing down the handle 8 causes the handle 8 to pull the locking rod 13 to rotate via the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 11. The front end of the locking rod 13 extends into the upper positioning member 3, locking the crossbar inside the upper positioning member 3. Conversely, pressing down the handle 8 raises it.
[0051] Of course, the above are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of application of this utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made to the principle of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
