Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of virtual reality equipment, and in particular to a potential energy armor for virtual reality equipment. Background Art

[0002] Virtual reality technology is a computer simulation system that can create and experience a virtual world. It uses computers to generate a simulated environment, which is an interactive three-dimensional dynamic vision and entity behavior system simulation that integrates multi-source information, allowing users to immerse themselves in the environment.

[0003] As we all know, virtual reality experience is in its early stages of development. There are many demands that have not been effectively addressed and there are many gaps in the industry. Most companies in the industry are using highly similar dynamic seat systems. Not only are the experience forms and themes single, the system itself is also relatively simple, and the product life cycle is very short.

[0004] During the use of existing virtual reality experience equipment, when the experiencer puts on and takes off the potential energy armor, the experiencer needs to be assisted by a service staff, and the experiencer cannot put it on and take it off by himself. The existing potential energy armor of the same size is suitable for a limited number of experiencers, and different sizes of potential energy armor need to be produced, which makes the production more troublesome. When the experiencer conducts the virtual reality experience, the experiencer needs to wear different types of potential energy armor according to the experiencer's body shape, which makes the experience process inconvenient. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a potential energy armor for a virtual reality device to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the experiencer cannot put on and take off the armor by himself and the experience effect is poor.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A potential energy armor for virtual reality equipment, comprising an armor body, a synchronous belt lock and a chest lock;

[0008] The armor body has at least two movable synchronous belts, and the ends of the synchronous belts are provided with plug tongues, and the plug tongues can be inserted into the chest lock to fix the synchronous belts; the synchronous belt lock is installed on the synchronous belt to adjust the length of the synchronous belt.

[0009] Furthermore,

[0010] The synchronous belt lock comprises: a housing, a locking plate and a clamping block;

[0011] The locking plate is rotatably connected to the housing, and a wearing space for the synchronous belt is formed between the locking plate and the housing;

[0012] The clamping block is slidably mounted on the housing and has a separation state and a clamping state with the locking plate;

[0013] When the clamping block and the locking plate are in a clamping state, the locking plate presses the synchronous belt installed in the installation space to fix the synchronous belt;

[0014] When the clamping block and the locking plate are in a separated state, the synchronous belt is unlocked.

[0015] Furthermore,

[0016] The synchronous belt lock also includes an unlocking mechanism;

[0017] The unlocking mechanism comprises a hand push plate, a push rod and a rotating member which are connected in a transmission manner;

[0018] The rotating member has a first end abutting against the clamping block and a second end abutting against the ejector rod, and the first end and the second end are capable of rotating around the axis of the rotating member;

[0019] When the hand push plate moves toward the locking plate, the driving force of the hand push plate is transmitted to the rotating member through the push rod, and the rotating member drives the clamping block to move away from the locking plate, so that the clamping block is separated from the locking plate.

[0020] Furthermore,

[0021] The unlocking mechanism also includes a guiding and positioning mechanism,

[0022] The guiding and positioning mechanism comprises:

[0023] A first guide rail and a second guide rail located on both sides of the hand push plate and having axial directions parallel to the movement direction of the hand push plate, a sliding plate with two ends respectively fitted on the first guide rail and the second guide rail and connected to the hand push plate, and a first elastic member fitted on the second guide rail and abutting against the sliding plate;

[0024] When the hand push plate is in an unstressed state, the first elastic member applies a force in a direction away from the locking plate to the hand push plate through the sliding plate to make the hand push plate move away from the locking plate;

[0025] When the hand push plate is subjected to a driving force toward the locking plate, the sliding plate slides along the first guide rail and the second guide rail, and drives the rotating member to rotate through the push rod, so that the rotating member drives the clamping block to move away from the locking plate, thereby separating the clamping block from the locking plate.

[0026] Furthermore,

[0027] The synchronous belt lock further comprises a second elastic member, and the second elastic member is located on a side of the clamping block away from the locking plate;

[0028] When the clamping block and the locking plate are in a clamping state, the second elastic member applies a force toward the clamping block to the clamping block so that the clamping block clamps the locking plate.

[0029] Furthermore,

[0030] The chest lock comprises at least one locking unit, the locking unit comprises a locking frame and a limit block connected to the locking frame, a socket is arranged in the locking frame, and the locking frame has a pop-up state and a pressed state;

[0031] When the locking frame is in a pop-up state, the plug tongue at the end of the synchronous belt can be inserted into the socket and fixed by the limit block;

[0032] When the locking frame is in a downwardly pressed state, the inserting tongue is disengaged from the limiting block so that the inserting tongue is separated from the locking unit.

[0033] Furthermore,

[0034] The locking unit comprises a first elastic mechanism located below the locking frame;

[0035] The first elastic mechanism is used to apply a force to the locking frame to make the locking frame change from a pressed state to a popped state.

[0036] Furthermore,

[0037] The locking unit comprises a second elastic mechanism located inside the locking frame;

[0038] The second elastic mechanism is used to apply a force to the plug tongue to limit the extension length of the plug tongue, and, when unlocking is required, apply a force to the plug tongue to make the plug tongue pop out.

[0039] Furthermore,

[0040] The chest lock also includes a pressing mechanism for driving the locking frame to move downward, and the pressing mechanism has a plurality of pressing plates, and the pressing plates are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the locking frame.

[0041] Furthermore,

[0042] The pressing mechanism further includes a third elastic mechanism, and the third elastic mechanism applies an upward force to the pressing plate to drive the pressing plate to return to its original position.

[0043] Combined with the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects brought by the present invention are analyzed as follows:

[0044] When the user needs to wear the potential energy armor, first adjust the length of the potential energy armor's back strap and waist belt according to his or her body shape through the synchronous belt lock, and then insert the tongue at the end of the synchronous belt into the chest lock. By adjusting the length of the potential energy armor's back strap and waist belt, the same model of potential energy armor can be adapted to users of different body shapes. Through the chest lock and the tongue at the end of the synchronous belt, the user can put on and take off the potential energy armor alone without the help of service personnel.
