Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of game equipment, and particularly relates to a skiing simulation platform. Background Art

[0002] Most of the skiing equipment on the market currently simulates one degree of freedom in skiing, and at most two degrees of freedom. Skiing is a multi-degree-of-freedom sport, which mainly includes the inclination of the skateboard (the inversion and eversion of the human ankle joint), the overall lateral movement, the opening and closing between the two skateboards, and the angle between the two skateboards. None of the existing devices on the market can fully simulate the actual situation of skiing, whether in the experimental field or the entertainment field. Compromises have been made in multiple degrees of freedom, and at most two of the four main elements are selected for simulation, making it impossible to accurately simulate skiing. Therefore, such products on the market currently cannot truly restore the skiing experience.

[0003] Therefore, a new technology is needed to solve the problem that it is difficult to restore the skiing experience in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a skiing simulation platform, which can achieve four main elements: the inclination of the skateboard, the overall lateral movement, the opening and closing between the two skateboards, and the angle between the two skateboards, and can well restore the skiing experience.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A skiing simulation platform includes a base and two pedal assemblies;

[0007] A guiding member is provided on the base along the horizontal direction;

[0008] Each pedal assembly includes a sliding seat slidable along the guiding member, a rotating seat rotatably provided on the sliding seat with a vertically arranged rotation axis, and a tilting pedal rotatably provided on the rotating seat with a horizontally arranged rotation axis;

[0009] First elastic members for preventing the sliding seat from sliding towards the ends of the guiding member are provided at both ends of the guiding member;

[0010] Elastic tension members are symmetrically provided on both sides of the rotating seat of the sliding seat, and both ends of the elastic tension member are fixedly connected to the sliding seat and the rotating seat respectively;

[0011] A second elastic member for preventing the tilting pedal from rotating is further provided between the tilting pedal and the rotating seat.

[0012] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, the guiding member includes a guiding rod, and fixing portions fixedly connected to both ends of the guiding rod are provided on both sides of the base; the sliding seat is connected to the guiding rod through a linear bearing.

[0013] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, the first elastic member is a first compression spring sleeved on the guiding rod, one end of the first compression spring abuts against the fixing portion, and the other end abuts against the sliding seat.

[0014] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, a first vertical plate portion extending upward is provided at the upper end of the rotating seat, and a second vertical plate portion extending downward is provided at the lower end of the tilting pedal; the first vertical plate portion is rotatably connected to the second vertical plate portion.

[0015] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, the second elastic member is a second compression spring, one end of which abuts against the tilting pedal, and the other end abuts against the rotating seat.

[0016] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, limiting baffles are provided on both sides of the tilting pedal and / or the rotating seat that are in close contact with both sides of the second compression spring.

[0017] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, extension plates extend from both sides of the sliding seat, one end of the elastic pulling member is fixedly connected to the outer end of the extension plate, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat.

[0018] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, the elastic pulling member is a tension spring or an elastic band.

[0019] As a further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention, when the first elastic member is in its natural elongation state, a preset distance is provided between the two tilting pedals.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. In the skiing simulation platform of the present invention, two pedal assemblies are provided. The pedal assembly includes a sliding seat, a rotating seat and a tilting pedal. When in use, a skateboard can be installed on each of the two tilting pedals; the sliding seats of the two pedal assemblies can slide along the guiding member. When an external force acts, the two sliding seats can slide along the guiding member, so as to realize the overall translation of the skateboards and the opening and closing between the two skateboards. Moreover, a first elastic member that hinders the two sliding seats from sliding towards the ends of the guiding member is provided, and the first elastic member can play a role in lateral movement limit and simulate the resistance of snow.

[0022] 2. In the ski simulation platform of the present invention, the two rotating seats can rotate separately. When an external force acts, the two rotating seats can rotate to drive the two skateboards to change their relative angles. The two elastic pulling members play the role of limiting, resetting and simulating snow resistance.

[0023] 3. The tilt pedal can rotate relative to the rotating seat, and its rotation axis is horizontal. When subjected to external force, the tilt pedal can tilt, thereby simulating the tilt of a skateboard (i.e., the inversion and eversion of a human ankle joint), and the second elastic member plays the role of rotation limiting and resetting after rotation.

[0024] 4. Through the above settings, skiing is basically completely simulated, including all the necessary elements of skiing except the up and down directions. Each group of components can move independently and together. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , a skiing simulation platform includes a base 100 and two pedal assemblies 200.

[0035] Among them, a guiding member 110 is provided on the base 100 and arranged in the horizontal direction. The guiding member 110 can be a slide rail or a guiding rod, which plays a role of sliding guidance.

[0036] Each of the pedal assemblies 200 includes a sliding seat 210 that can slide along the guiding member 110, a rotating seat 220 rotatably arranged on the sliding seat 210 with a vertically arranged rotation axis, and a tilting pedal 230 rotatably arranged on the rotating seat 220 with a horizontally arranged rotation axis.

[0037] The rotating seat 220 and the sliding seat 210 are connected by a rotating shaft 222, and a rotating bearing is arranged at the connection to ensure the smoothness of rotation.

[0038] A transmission connection part 223 connected to a rotation driving device can also be arranged on the rotating shaft 222, and the rotation driving device can drive the rotating seat 220 to rotate through the transmission connection part 223. Specifically, the transmission connection part 223 is a gear, and the rotation driving device is a motor.

[0039] When in use, a skateboard can be installed on the tilting pedal 230, and one skateboard is installed on each pedal. The change in the distance between the two sliding seats 210 can realize the change in the pedal spacing and achieve opening and closing. The two rotating seats 220 rotate respectively, and the change in the angle between the two pedals can be realized (that is, changing the orientation of the human toe tip). The rotation and inclination of the two tilting plates can realize the change in the inclination angle of the two pedals and achieve the inversion and eversion of the ankle joint.

[0040] Among them, first elastic members 120 for preventing the sliding seat 210 from sliding towards the ends of the guiding member 110 are arranged at both ends of the guiding member 110. The first elastic members 120 can play a limiting role and can also provide resistance to simulate the resistance of the snow when pushing outwards laterally while skiing. Since the two pedal assemblies 200 are both provided with sliding seats 210 and slide along the sliding seats 210, when the two sliding seats 210 slide, the overall left - right movement of the two skateboards can be realized. When the distance between the two sliding seats 210 changes, that is, the opening and closing between the two skateboards is realized, and the first elastic members 120 can play a role of lateral movement limitation and simulate the snow resistance.

[0041] Preferably, the guide member 110 adopts a guide rod. In order to ensure stability during sliding, at least two guide rods are provided, both of which are arranged horizontally. Both sides of the base 100 are provided with fixing parts 130 fixedly connected to the two ends of the guide rod; the sliding seat 210 is connected to the guide rod through a linear bearing to ensure smoothness during sliding. Specifically, the first elastic member 120 is a first compression spring sleeved on the guide rod, one end of the first compression spring abuts the fixing part 130, and the other end abuts the sliding seat 210. The first compression spring is installed at both ends of the guide rod to hinder the sliding of the sliding seat 210 toward the end of the guide rod, which plays a role in limiting and simulating snow resistance.

[0042] When skiing, there is usually a distance between the two skateboards, that is, the distance between the two legs of a person when skiing. Generally speaking, in order to maintain the stability of the body, the distance is generally the same as the width of the shoulders or the width of the hips. Preferably, when the first elastic member 120 is naturally extended, the two tilt pedals 230 are spaced apart by a preset distance, and the preset distance is the length of the shoulder width or the hip width, or a length therebetween.

[0043] Wherein, the sliding seat 210 is symmetrically provided with stretched elastic pulling members 240 on both sides of the rotating seat 220, and the two ends of the elastic pulling member 240 are fixedly connected to the sliding seat 210 and the rotating seat 220 respectively. Since the elastic pulling member 240 is stretched, when it is balanced without being acted upon by other external forces, the rotating seat 220 maintains a fixed orientation. Generally speaking, the orientation is perpendicular to the orientation of the guide rod or the orientations of the two rotating seats 220 are in an outward eight shape. When the rotating seat 220 is rotated by an external force, the elastic pulling member 240 can hinder the rotation of the rotating seat 220, limit the rotation, and also play a role in resetting. The obstruction of its elastic force during the rotation process can simulate the resistance of the snow, making the simulation platform more realistic. The elastic pulling member 240 is a tension spring or an elastic belt, preferably a tension spring, which has a greater elastic force and a longer service life.

[0044] Specifically, extension plates 211 extend from both sides of the sliding seat 210, one end of the elastic pulling member 240 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the extension plate 211, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating seat 220. Through the extension plate 211, the direction of the elastic pulling member 240 is adjusted so that the direction of its pulling force is more inclined to the rotation axis of the vertical rotating seat 220, thereby enhancing its effect of preventing rotation and further increasing the resistance.

[0045] Wherein, a second elastic member 250 for preventing the tilting pedal 230 from rotating is further provided between the tilting pedal 230 and the rotating seat 220, which can support the tilting pedal 230 and prevent its tilting rotation from being too sensitive. The tilting pedal 230 can rotate relative to the rotating seat 220, and its rotation axis is horizontal. When acted upon by an external force, the tilting of the tilting pedal 230 can be realized, thereby simulating the tilting of a skateboard (i.e., the inversion and eversion of a person's ankle joint), and the second elastic member 250 plays a role in limiting rotation and resetting after rotation. Wherein, the second elastic member 250 can be a compression spring or an elastic cushion block. Preferably, the second elastic member 250 is a second compression spring, one end of which abuts against the tilting pedal 230 and the other end abuts against the rotating seat 220.

[0046] Specifically, an upward-extending first vertical plate portion 221 is provided at the upper end of the rotating seat 220, and a downward-extending second vertical plate portion 231 is provided at the lower end of the tilting pedal 230; the first vertical plate portion 221 is rotatably connected to the second vertical plate portion 231, and the two are connected by a rotating shaft, and a bearing is provided at the connection for easy rotation.

[0047] Limit stop plates 260 are provided on both sides of the second compression spring in close contact with the tilting pedal 230 and / or the rotating seat 220 to limit the second compression spring and prevent the tilting pedal 230 from disengaging during rotation.

[0048] Based on the above structure, during use, a skateboard can be installed on each of the two tilting pedals 230; the sliding seats 210 of the two pedal assemblies 200 can both slide along the guide member 110. When acted upon by an external force, the two sliding seats 210 can slide along the guide member 110, thereby realizing the translation of the entire skateboard and the opening and closing between the two skateboards. The first elastic member 120 can play a role in limiting lateral movement and simulating snow resistance; the two rotating seats 220 can rotate respectively. When acted upon by an external force, the two rotating seats 220 can rotate to drive the two skateboards to change their relative angles, and the two elastic pulling members 240 play a role in limiting, resetting and simulating snow resistance; the tilting pedal 230 can rotate relative to the rotating seat 220. When acted upon by an external force, the tilting of the tilting pedal 230 can be realized, thereby simulating the tilting of a skateboard (i.e., the inversion and eversion of a person's ankle joint), and the second elastic member 250 plays a role in limiting rotation and resetting after rotation. Through the above settings, skiing is basically completely simulated, including all the required elements except for the up and down directions. Each group of components can move independently or be linked together, and is suitable for VR game devices.

[0050] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and decorations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
