Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a split-drive type swing platform, and more particularly to a swing platform that forms a hitting zone where a user performs a golf swing with a golf club in golf practice or screen golf using a virtual golf simulation device. Background Art

[0002] Generally, in a golf course, golf shots are played simply on flat ground, but golf shots are often played on various terrain conditions such as downhill slopes, uphill slopes, gentle slopes, steep slopes, and sunken terrains.

[0003] In this way, in order to allow users who practice golf, etc. to practice not only golf shots on flat ground but also golf shots under a variety of terrain conditions, a golf driving range or screen golf system is provided with a swing board as a hitting area where users can hit golf, and the swing board can be tilted at any angle so that users can practice golf shots under a variety of terrain conditions on the swing board.

[0004] As described above, the conventional swing board has a basic structure in which a single board-shaped member can be tilted at various angles by a motor.

[0005] As related prior art documents, Korean Patent No. 0912015, Korean Patent No. 1422073, and the like are disclosed.

[0006] However, a swing board that is implemented by simply tilting a single plate-shaped component only in one direction has limitations in allowing users to practice golf shots under a variety of terrain conditions. Therefore, a technology has emerged that divides the above-mentioned swing board into multiple unit boards instead of designing it as a single plate-shaped component, thereby achieving the inclination of each divided unit board, thereby achieving a variety of terrain conditions.

[0007] As such prior art documents, Korean Patent No. 1696667, Korean Patent No. 1495308, Korean Patent No. 1562174, and the like are disclosed.

[0008] However, such a conventional swing plate, i.e., a swing plate driven by dividing a plurality of unit plates, causes interference between the unit plates when the respective unit plates are driven to move, thereby limiting the movable range of each unit plate. In addition, since the unit plates and the driving parts are not fixed for driving when the plurality of up and down driving motors drive the unit plates up and down, but the driving is performed while the up and down driving motors are in contact with the unit plates, there is a problem of short product life and durability, such as wear of the contact parts during use.

[0033] The specific contents of the split-drive type swing platform of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] First, refer to Figure 1 A swing platform according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional diagram of a swing platform according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a swing platform according to an embodiment of the present invention is a device for forming a hitting zone for enabling a user to perform a golf swing, and includes a lower support portion 100, a split hitting zone portion 200, a rotating support hub 300, a terrain realization driving portion 400, and the like.

[0036] The lower support part 100 is a component of the lower end support device of the swing platform according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is provided on a floor on which the swing platform is installed. The terrain realization driving part 400 is provided at the upper end of the lower support part 100 .

[0037] The split hitting area portion 200 is disposed above the terrain realization driving portion 400 on the lower supporting portion 100 and forms a hitting area for a user to step on, and is configured to include a plurality of split plates that are respectively tilted based on terrain information (for example, terrain information of a virtual golf course realized as an image of a virtual golf simulation system).

[0038] Figure 1 2 shows a case where the first dividing plate 210, the second dividing plate 220, the third dividing plate 230 and the fourth dividing plate 240 which divide the entire plate into four equal parts are provided as the plurality of dividing plates, and the divided hitting zone portion 200 is formed as a whole.

[0039] The terrain realization driving unit 400 is fixedly disposed between the lower support unit 100 and the divided hitting area unit 200, and drives each of the divided plates 210-240 of the divided hitting area unit 200 to realize a predetermined inclination so as to realize a predetermined terrain in the divided hitting area unit 200.

[0040] The rotation support hub 300 is a component provided at the center of the split zone section 200 and rotatably supports the center side end of each of the plurality of split plates 210 to 240 .

[0041] As described above, the split-driven swing platform of one embodiment of the present invention basically comprises components such as a lower support portion 100, a split hitting area portion 200, a rotating support hub 300, and a terrain realization driving portion 400, and, for example, based on information about the terrain that the swing platform should realize from a client of a simulator such as a virtual golf simulation system, the terrain realization driving portion 400 is started under the control of a control portion (not shown) so that each split plate 210 to 240 constituting the split hitting area portion 200 rotates individually, thereby realizing a complex tilt close to the actual terrain.

[0042] Refer to the following Figures 2 to 4 The above-mentioned characteristic matters of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0043] Figure 2 This is a perspective view showing a split ball hitting area separated from a lower support portion of a split drive type swing platform according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 is shown as viewed from above Figure 2 The figure showing the structure of the lower support part and the terrain driving part, Figure 4 It is shown separately Figure 2 The topographic diagram shown is a diagram of the configuration of the drive actuator and the rotation support hub of the driving portion.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, on the lower support part 100, a rotating support hub 300 is provided at its center, a hub driving part 490 for driving the rotating support hub 300 up and down is arranged at the center of the lower support part 100, and a plurality of driving actuators 410 to 480 are fixedly arranged around it as a terrain realization driving part 400.

[0045] The rotating support hub 300 is a component that performs the function of supporting the split plates 210-240 to rotate (in addition to rotation in one axis direction, of course, it also includes rotation in two axis directions, which will be described later) when each split plate 210-240 of the split hitting area 200 is fixedly supported in the center.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the above-mentioned multiple driving actuators can be implemented as a first driving actuator 410, a second driving actuator 420, a third driving actuator 430, a fourth driving actuator 440, a fifth driving actuator 450, a sixth driving actuator 460, a seventh driving actuator 470 and an eighth driving actuator 480.

[0047] Each of the driving actuators 410 to 480 has a lower fixing member at its lower end. Figure 2 and Figure 3It is shown that the first driving actuator 410 has a first lower fixing component (not shown) at the lower end, the second driving actuator 420 has a second lower fixing component 425 at the lower end, the third driving actuator 430 has a third lower fixing component 435 at the lower end, the fourth driving actuator 440 has a fourth lower fixing component 445 at the lower end, the fifth driving actuator 450 has a fifth lower fixing component 455 at the lower end, the sixth driving actuator 460 has a sixth lower fixing component (not shown) at the lower end, the seventh driving actuator 470 has a seventh lower fixing component 475 at the lower end, and the eighth driving actuator 480 has an eighth lower fixing component 485 at the lower end.

[0048] Each of the lower fixing members 425 - 485 enables each corresponding driving actuator 410 - 480 to rotate, and also enables each corresponding driving actuator 410 - 480 to be fixed on the lower supporting portion 100 .

[0049] On the other hand, each of the driving actuators 410 to 480 has an upper fixing member at its upper end. Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is shown that the first upper fixing component 416 is provided at the upper end of the first driving actuator 410, the second upper fixing component 426 is provided at the upper end of the second driving actuator 420, the third upper fixing component 436 is provided at the upper end of the third driving actuator 430, the fourth upper fixing component 446 is provided at the upper end of the fourth driving actuator 440, the fifth upper fixing component 456 is provided at the upper end of the fifth driving actuator 450, the sixth upper fixing component 466 is provided at the upper end of the sixth driving actuator 460, the seventh upper fixing component 476 is provided at the upper end of the seventh driving actuator 470, and the eighth upper fixing component 486 is provided at the upper end of the eighth driving actuator 480.

[0050] Each of the upper fixing components 416 - 486 enables each corresponding driving actuator 410 - 480 to rotate, and also enables each corresponding driving actuator 410 - 480 to be fixed to the lower end surface of each partition plate 210 - 240 of the partitioned hitting area 200 .

[0051] However, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each of the driving actuators 410 to 480 is tilted at a predetermined angle from the lower fixing member toward the upper fixing member and is fixed in an inclined posture and driven, and two driving actuators are fixed to one partition plate and driven to achieve the inclination of the corresponding partition plate.

[0052] In addition, if Figure 2As shown, each partition plate 210 - 240 that partitions the ball striking area 200 has grooves 201 - 204 formed at its center, and a setting hole 205 is formed by each partition plate 210 - 240 , and a rotation support hub 300 is disposed in the setting hole 205 .

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the rotation support hub 300 includes a hub shaft member 301 at a center portion, and the hub shaft member 301 is provided with rotation support portions 310 to 340 corresponding to each of the plurality of partition plates 210 to 240 .

[0054] That is, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first rotating support part 310 of the rotating support hub 300 is fixed on the first groove part 201 side of the first dividing plate 210, the second rotating support part 320 of the rotating support hub 300 is fixed on the second groove part 202 side of the second dividing plate 220, the third rotating support part 330 of the rotating support hub 300 is fixed on the third groove part 203 side of the third dividing plate 230, and the fourth rotating support part 340 of the rotating support hub 300 is fixed on the fourth groove part 204 side of the fourth dividing plate 240.

[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first rotation support portion 310 of the rotation support hub 300, the first upper fixing member 416 of the first driving actuator 410 and the second upper fixing member 426 of the second driving actuator 420 are fixed to the first partition plate 210, and the respective setting positions form the vertices of a triangle.

[0056] Similarly, it can be constructed as follows: the second rotating support portion 320 of the rotating support hub 300, the third upper fixing component 436 of the third driving actuator 430, and the fourth upper fixing component 446 of the fourth driving actuator 440 are fixed on the second dividing plate 220, and each setting position forms each vertex of a triangle; the third rotating support portion 330 of the rotating support hub 300, the fifth upper fixing component 456 of the fifth driving actuator 450, and the sixth upper fixing component 466 of the sixth driving actuator 460 are fixed on the third dividing plate 230, and each setting position forms each vertex of a triangle; the fourth rotating support portion 340 of the rotating support hub 300, the seventh upper fixing component 476 of the seventh driving actuator 470, and the eighth upper fixing component 486 of the eighth driving actuator 480 are fixed on the fourth dividing plate 240, and each setting position forms each vertex of a triangle.

[0057] That is, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the terrain realization driving part 400 can be constructed to have two driving actuators respectively, each of which has one end fixed in a rotatable manner to the two vertex positions of a triangle formed by the rotating support part 310~340 of each of the dividing plates 210~240 as a vertex, and each of which has the other end rotatably fixed to the lower support part 100 in a direction inclined at a specified angle, and realizes the inclination of the corresponding dividing plate as it extends and contracts in the length direction respectively.

[0058] As described above, each driving actuator is tilted at a specified angle from the lower support portion to the upper divided hitting area portion and is respectively located at the two vertices of the triangle of the dividing plate. Moreover, as described above, each dividing plate makes the rotating support portion and the two driving actuators respectively have triangular setting positions, so that each dividing plate can stably perform the tilting action while the driving actuator is tilted, thereby having the characteristic of being able to lower the setting height of the swing platform.

[0059] If the structure of the terrain realization driving unit 400 is analyzed in more detail, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower support part 100 is divided into a plurality of regions 110 to 150, etc., and a rotating support hub 300 is provided in the central region 110 thereof. Two driving actuators are respectively fixed to each of the plurality of regions 120 to 150 around the central region 110 of the lower support part 100, and the upper ends of the respective driving actuators are tilted in a direction away from each other, so that the upper end of a driving actuator in one region and the upper end of a driving actuator in another region are respectively fixed to a partition plate. Thus, the tilting of the corresponding partition plate can be achieved by the telescopic driving of the two tilted driving actuators in the respective length directions.

[0060] That is, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lower support portion 100 can be constructed by dividing it into a plurality of regions, including a central region 110 and a first region 120, a second region 130, a third region 140 and a fourth region 150 in its periphery, and the rotatable support hub 300 is fixedly arranged in the central region 110, and is arranged in the first region 120 in a manner that the lower ends of the eighth drive actuator 480 and the first drive actuator 410 are adjacent to each other, in the second region 130 in a manner that the lower ends of the second drive actuator 420 and the third drive actuator 430 are adjacent to each other, and in the third region 140 in a manner that the lower ends of the fourth drive actuator 440 and the fifth drive actuator 450 are adjacent to each other. In the fourth region 150, when the sixth driving actuator 460 and the seventh driving actuator 470 are arranged in a manner such that the lower ends thereof are adjacent to each other, the first driving actuator 410 and the second driving actuator 420 are respectively tilted so that the upper ends thereof are fixed to the first partition plate 210, the third driving actuator 430 and the fourth driving actuator 440 are respectively tilted so that the upper ends thereof are fixed to the second partition plate 220, the fifth driving actuator 450 and the sixth driving actuator 460 are respectively tilted so that the upper ends thereof are fixed to the third partition plate 230, and the seventh driving actuator 470 and the eighth driving actuator 480 are respectively tilted so that the upper ends thereof are fixed to the fourth partition plate 240.

[0061] Refer to the following Figure 4 The specific structures of the driving actuators 410 to 480 and the rotation support hub 300 are described below. Figure 4 (a) shows the structure of the above-mentioned driving actuator, Figure 4 (b) shows the structure of the above-mentioned rotating support hub (in Figure 4 In (a) of FIG. 1 , the reference numeral of the first driving actuator is given, but since all driving actuators have the same structure, Figure 4 When describing (a), the "first" part will be omitted).

[0062] like Figure 4 As shown in (a), the driving actuator 410 can be constructed to include: a driving motor 411; a driving cylinder 412, which is actuated by the driving motor 411; a telescopic component 413, which is telescopic in a linear direction based on the action of the driving cylinder 412; a supporting shaft 414, which protrudes from the opposite side of the telescopic component 413; a lower fixing component 415, which is rotatably combined with the support shaft 414 and fixed to the lower supporting part 100; and an upper fixing component 416, which is rotatably combined with the telescopic component 413 and fixed to the lower end of the partition plate 210.

[0063] As the driving motor 411 rotates forward or reverse, the telescopic part 413 of the driving cylinder 412 performs a linear motion of extending or contracting in the length direction, and according to the change in the length direction of the telescopic part 413, the overall inclination angle of the driving actuator 410 changes when it rotates relative to the lower fixed part 415 and the upper fixed part 416 respectively.

[0064] The two driving actuators 410 perform the above-described operations, so that the partition plate can achieve various inclinations.

[0065] On the other hand, Figure 4 As shown in (b), the rotation support hub 300 may be configured to include: a hub shaft member 301, which is provided at the center of the divided hitting area portion 200; a first rotation support portion 310, which enables the first dividing plate 210 (refer to Figure 2 ) can be supported in a manner that is rotatable around two axes n1 and n2 that are perpendicular to the central axis ca of the hub shaft member; a second rotation support portion 320, which allows the second partition plate 220 (refer to Figure 2 ) can be supported in a manner that rotates around two axes perpendicular to the central axis ca; a third rotating support portion 330, which allows the third partition plate 230 (reference Figure 2 ) can be supported in a manner that rotates around two axes perpendicular to the central axis ca; and a fourth rotation support portion 340, which allows the fourth partition plate 240 (reference Figure 2 ) can be supported in a manner that allows rotation around two axes that are perpendicular to the central axis ca.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown in (b), the first rotation support portion 310 may be configured to include a first rotation support shaft 311 provided on the hub shaft member 301 in a rotatable manner (rotation centered on the n1 axis) and a first groove portion 201 (see FIG. 2 ) provided on the first rotation support shaft 311 in a rotatable manner (rotation centered on the n2 axis) and fixed to the first partition plate 210. Figure 2 ) side of the first rotation support fixing component 312.

[0067] The structure of the first rotation support part 310 is substantially the same as that of the other rotation support parts 320 to 340. That is, the second rotation support part 320 includes a second rotation support shaft 321 rotatably provided on the hub shaft member 301 and a second groove part 202 rotatably provided on the second rotation support shaft 321 and fixed to the second partition plate 220 (see Figure 2) side of the second rotation support fixing member 322; the third rotation support portion 330 includes a third rotation support shaft 331 rotatably provided on the hub shaft member 301 and a third groove portion 203 (reference) provided on the third rotation support shaft 331 and fixed to the third partition plate 230 in a rotatable manner Figure 2 ) side of the third rotation support fixing member 332; the fourth rotation support portion 340 includes a fourth rotation support shaft 341 rotatably provided on the hub shaft member 301 and a fourth groove portion 204 (reference) provided on the fourth rotation support shaft 341 and fixed to the fourth partition plate 240 in a rotatable manner Figure 2 ) side of the fourth rotation support fixing component 342.

[0068] On the other hand, the hub shaft member 301 can be driven in the vertical direction by a hub driving unit 490 provided in the center of the lower support portion 100 (see Figure 2 ).

[0069] Therefore, each of the rotation support parts can be fixed to the central part side of each partition plate and supported in a manner such that each of the partition plates can rotate about two axial directions with respect to the hub shaft member. Figure 5 Provide explanation.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, the first partition plate 210 is a triangular support structure including a support point C on the rotation support hub 300 side (the position where the first rotation support portion 310 is set), an action point A for fixing the upper end of the first driving actuator, and an action point B for fixing the upper end of the second driving actuator (this is consistent with the above). Figure 3 The invention relates to a triangular structure which connects the first rotating support part, the first driving actuator and the second driving actuator as shown in the figure), and the tilting can be achieved by moving the action point A part up and down based on the action of the first driving actuator with the support point C as the reference to achieve the tilting, or by moving the action point B part up and down based on the action of the second driving actuator to achieve the tilting, or by moving the action points A and B up and down at the same time to achieve the tilting. In each case, the hub shaft component 301 is driven in the up and down direction by the hub driving part 490, so that various tilting can be achieved together with the movement of the support point C in the vertical direction and the movement at each of the action points A and B.

[0071] Figure 5 The first partition plate 210 is used as the support point C and the action points A and B as described above to illustrate the support structure for realizing the inclined triangle. Since it is also applicable to other partition plates, the description of other partition plates will be replaced by the description of the action of the support point C and the action points A and B of the first partition plate, and repeated descriptions will be omitted.

[0072] Therefore, the swing platform of one embodiment of the present invention can drive each of the split plates 210 to 240 through the above-mentioned structure to realize various terrains, such as Fig. 9 The advantages of various terrains shown in (a) to (f) respectively.

[0073] Fig. 9 Several examples of achieving terrain by driving an actuator while a rotating support hub in the center portion of the divided hitting area is not driven up or down but maintained in the same state are shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. Of course, more diverse terrains can be achieved based on the actions of the hub driving portion and the terrain-achieving driving portion.

[0074] However, if Fig. 9 As shown, in order to realize various terrains, each partition plate is tilted variously as each driving actuator is operated. However, when adjacent partition plates interfere with each other, mechanical friction or compression between adjacent partition plates may cause damage.

[0075] In order to solve such a problem, a swing platform according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that a partition portion with a predetermined interval is provided between each of the plurality of split plates of the split hitting zone 200, thereby preventing interference between adjacent split plates when the split hitting zone moves.

[0076] Such partitions can be implemented in various forms. They can be simply formed in a straight line with the same pitch, or they can be implemented with pitches formed in a curved line, or they can be implemented with pitches increasing toward the side away from the center.

[0077] Among the partitions of various forms, a structure in which the partitions are partitioned so that the pitch increases toward the side away from the center is named a triangular partition in this specification, and a case where such a structure is adopted will be described.

[0078] However, the partitions of the present invention include not only triangular partitions but also all partitions of any shapes.

[0079] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the swing platform of one embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that triangular partitions 212, 223, 234, and 241 are formed between adjacent partition plates so that the distance between them increases toward the side away from the rotation support hub 300.

[0080] That is, Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it can be configured that, between the first partition plate 210 and the second partition plate 220, a first triangular partition portion 212 is formed by being configured so that the adjacent surfaces of the first partition plate 210 and the adjacent surfaces of the second partition plate 220 gradually move away from the center portion; between the second partition plate 220 and the third partition plate 230, a second triangular partition portion 223 is formed by being configured so that the adjacent surfaces of the second partition plate 220 and the adjacent surfaces of the third partition plate 230 gradually move away from the center portion; between the third partition plate 230 and the fourth partition plate 240, a third triangular partition portion 234 is formed by being configured so that the adjacent surfaces of the third partition plate 230 and the adjacent surfaces of the fourth partition plate 240 gradually move away from the center portion; between the fourth partition plate 240 and the first partition plate 210, a fourth triangular partition portion 241 is formed by being configured so that the adjacent surfaces of the fourth partition plate 240 and the adjacent surfaces of the first partition plate 210 gradually move away from the center portion.

[0081] As described above, by forming the triangular partitions 212, 223, 234, 241 between each of the partition plates 210-240, it is possible to prevent two adjacent partition plates from interfering with each other when moving, thereby providing a swing platform that can realize the terrain with stable and reliable movements.

[0082] However, even if the triangular partition is formed as described above, friction may occur between the two partition plates due to the occurrence of movement errors caused by long-term use of the swing platform or expansion of the material due to ambient temperature conditions.

[0083] In order to prevent the noise or deformation of the adjacent surfaces caused by the friction between the two partition plates, Figure 6 As shown, the swing platform of one embodiment of the present invention includes spacing buffering members 260 on one end surface and the other end surface of adjacent partition plates 210 and 220 forming the triangular partition 212, respectively, so as to buffer the gap between the adjacent partition plates when the partition plates are driven.

[0084] The spacing buffer component 260 as described above can be provided by various methods, such as bonding components of buffer material to one end face and the other end face of each partition plate, or fastening with threads, or covering the partition plate with a cover of buffer material.

[0085] On the other hand, in the split-driven swing platform of the present invention, the split hitting area 200 is composed of a plurality of split plates 210 to 240, each of which is driven individually to achieve tilting, and the two split plates are separated by the triangular partition 212 as described above, so that the two split plates may be slightly misaligned with each other (for example, when a larger load is applied to one side of the split plate, a slight misalignment may occur, or misalignment may occur due to working errors, etc.).

[0086] In order to solve such problems, Figure 7 As shown in (a) of the present invention, the present invention may include a rubber support member 500, one end and the other end of which are respectively fixed to each of the adjacent partition plates 210 and 220 forming the triangular partition part 212 to elastically support the two adjacent partition plates 210 and 220.

[0087] Although it is possible to consider using a coil spring or the like to provide elastic support in the triangular partition portion that forms two adjacent dividing plates, since each dividing plate achieves a variety of inclinations in the process of dividing the terrain of the hitting area, it is not just the compression and extension forces that act between the two adjacent dividing plates, but also a variety of forces such as torsion. Therefore, it is preferred to have a rubber support component made of rubber material so that the elastic force can be effectively used to support the action of such a variety of forces.

[0088] In particular, Figure 7 (a) and Figure 7 As shown in (b), the swing platform according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a rubber member having a structure bent at a predetermined angle as the rubber support member, thereby more effectively elastically supporting various forces occurring between two adjacent split plates.

[0089] That is, Figure 7 (a) and Figure 7 As shown in (b), the rubber support member 500 may include a connecting support portion 510, 520 connected to each of the adjacent partition plates 210, 220 forming the triangular partition portion 212, and a V-shaped V-connecting portion 530 connecting the connecting support portions 510, 520.

[0090] Fastening holes 511 and 521 may be formed in the coupling support parts 510 and 520 formed at both ends of the rubber support member 500 so that bolts or the like can be inserted respectively. Moreover, by fixing the rubber support member 500 below the triangular partition part 212 with bolts or the like, the rubber support member 500 may be easily replaced.

[0091] like Figure 7 As shown in (b), by making the rubber support component 500 include a V-connecting portion 530, when various forces act on the rubber support component 500, the V-connecting portion 530 can be deformed with a higher degree of freedom compared to a rubber component simply having a cylindrical or prism shape, thereby enabling more effective elastic support.

[0092] For example, Figure 7As shown in (c), when the rubber support component 500 is subjected to compression or tension on both sides based on the action of the two partition plates, compared with elastic support relying solely on the contraction and stretching of the material itself, in addition to the elastic force of the material equivalent to it, the shape of the V-connecting portion 530 itself can be deformed more freely, thereby enabling more effective elastic support.

[0093] like Figure 7 As shown in (d), even when the rubber support member 500 is twisted due to the force acting on one side of the rubber support member 500 being in the opposite direction to the force acting on the opposite side, elastic support can be provided when deformed by the V-connecting portion 530, thereby Figure 7 The rubber supporting member 500 shown has a feature of having a structure capable of performing more effective elastic support.

[0094] In this regard, refer to Figure 8 The effect of the rubber support member 500 having the V-connecting portion 530 as described above will be described. Figure 8 As shown in (a), a first partition plate 210 and a second partition plate 220 are provided, and a rubber support member 500 having a V-connecting portion 530 is provided between them. Figure 8 As shown in (b), there is a case where the outer end of each of the first partition plate 210 and the second partition plate 220 is rotated upward or the inner end is rotated downward, thereby being inclined in a V shape when viewed from the side.

[0095] So, as Figure 8 When each partition plate 210, 220 moves in the form shown in (b), if it is assumed that a straight-line rubber component is connected, there is a problem that the straight-line rubber component hinders the rotation of each of the partition plates 210, 220 or the action applied to meet the requirements, and there is a problem that the rubber component is easily damaged.

[0096] However, in Figure 8 In the case of the rubber support member 500 having a V-connecting portion 530 as shown in (b), the V-shape of the V-connecting portion 530 allows for natural movement without hindering the movement of the partition plates 210 and 220 or applying a load, and also allows for stable elastic support.

[0097] On the other hand, when Figure 8 The configuration shown in (c) enables each partition plate 210, 220 to be tilted in a ∧ shape when viewed from the side. If it is assumed that a straight-line rubber component is connected, there is a problem that when each partition plate 210, 220 rotates as shown in the figure, the straight-line rubber component will act with a large load, and the rubber component may also be easily damaged.

[0098] However, if Figure 8 As shown in (c), in the case of a rubber support component 500 having a V-connecting portion 530, the V-shape of the V-connecting portion 530 may be easier to tighten due to its shape characteristics even when it has the same elasticity as a simple straight shape. Therefore, it can move naturally without hindering the movement of each partition plate 210, 220 or applying a load, and at the same time, stable elastic support can be provided.

[0099] As described above, the split-drive swing platform of the present invention can drive each split plate that splits the hitting area with a high degree of freedom and in a stable manner, and can prevent interference or friction between the split plates when the tilt is achieved. In addition, by arranging a rubber support component in each triangular partition, it is possible to drive and move with high reliability.
