DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0054] In the description of the present application, terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "height", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", and "circumferential" indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0055] In addition, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being “above” or “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being “above”, “above”, and “above” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being “below”, “below”, and “below” a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0056] In the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish different objects and cannot be understood as indicating or implying a specific order or a primary and secondary relationship, or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the feature. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0057] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0058] In the description of this application, the term "and / or" indicates that there may be three relationships. For example, A and / or B may indicate that A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0059] In the description of this application, "parallel" includes not only the absolutely parallel situation, but also the roughly parallel situation conventionally recognized in engineering; at the same time, "perpendicular" also includes not only the absolutely perpendicular situation, but also the roughly perpendicular situation conventionally recognized in engineering. For example, if the angle between two directions is 80° to 90°, the two directions can be considered perpendicular; if the angle between two directions is 0° to 10°, the two directions can be considered parallel.

[0060] The vehicle simulator can be used as a virtual game device to provide players with an immersive driving experience, so that players can enjoy the excitement and fun of racing without having to participate in real events. It can also be used as a teaching device for driving training, so that students can perform various driving operations on the simulator, such as starting, clutching, shifting, driving straight, turning, speed change and braking, etc. These operations will be reflected in the visual system and vehicle speed indicator through the motion system to provide a real driving experience.

[0061] The vehicle simulator mainly includes a steering wheel device and a pedal device. In order to simulate vibrating road conditions such as speed bumps and gravel roads, in existing vehicle simulators, for the steering wheel device, a vibration motor is usually added to the steering wheel of the steering wheel device to provide vibration feedback, and for the foot pedal device, a vibration motor is usually added to the pedal of the foot pedal device to provide vibration feedback. However, the effect of simulating vibrating road conditions is not ideal and lacks realism.

[0062] In order to solve the above technical problems, Figure 1 As shown, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vibration feedback device 100 , which relates to the technical field of vehicle simulators and is applied to a vehicle simulator having a vibrated target object 200 .

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the vibration feedback device 100 for a vehicle simulator provided in this embodiment includes a fixed part 110, a movable part 120 and an actuator 130. The movable part 120 is used to connect with the vibrated target object 200 of the vehicle simulator, and the actuator 130 is arranged on the fixed part 110. The actuator 130 is connected to the movable part 120 and is used to make the movable part 120 move relative to the fixed part 110.

[0064] Exemplarily, the vibrated target object 200 includes a steering wheel device 210 and a foot pedal device 220, that is, the above-mentioned vibration feedback device 100 can be used alone in the steering wheel device 210, can also be used alone in the foot pedal device 220, and can also be used in the steering wheel device 210 and the foot pedal device 220 at the same time. No specific restriction is made on the type of the vibrated target object 200.

[0065] It should be noted that when the vibration feedback device 100 is used, the fixed part 110 is a structure that remains stationary, the movable part 120 is a structure that can move relative to the fixed part 110 , and the actuator 130 is a power source of the vibration feedback device 100 .

[0066] It can be understood that the present embodiment provides a vibration feedback device 100 for a vehicle simulator, including a fixed part 110, a movable part 120 and an actuator 130, wherein the movable part 120 is used to connect with a vibrated target object 200 of the vehicle simulator, and the actuator 130 is disposed on the fixed part 110 and connected with the movable part 120, and is used to make the movable part 120 move relative to the fixed part 110. In this way, when using the vehicle simulator, the movable part 120 is moved relative to the fixed part 110 by the actuator 130, thereby achieving the effect of driving the entire vibrated target object 200 to move relative to the fixed part 110, thereby being able to more realistically simulate the scene of a vehicle passing through a speed bump, a gravel road section and other vibrating road conditions, so that the user can experience a more realistic driving experience.

[0067] It should be noted that the above “driving the entire vibrated target object 200 to move relative to the fixing member 110” means that the vibrated target object 200 as a whole moves relative to the fixing member 110. For example, Fig.15 As shown, when the vibrated target object 200 is a steering wheel device 210, the movable member 120 can be connected to the body 211 of the steering wheel device 210 to drive all components of the steering wheel device 210, such as the steering wheel 213, the rotating shaft 212, and the body 211, to move relative to the fixed member 110. For another example, Fig.16 As shown, when the vibrated target object 200 is a pedal device 220, the movable part 120 can be connected to the base 221 of the pedal device 220 to drive all components of the pedal device 220, such as the base 221, clutch pedal 222, brake pedal 223, accelerator pedal 224, etc., to move relative to the fixed part 110.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the actuator 130 includes a driving module 131 and a transmission module 132, the driving module 131 is arranged on the fixed part 110, and the transmission module 132 is connected between the driving module 131 and the movable part 120, and the driving module 131 is used to drive the transmission module 132, so that the transmission module 132 drives the movable part 120 to move relative to the fixed part 110, thereby achieving the effect of driving the entire vibrated target 200 to move relative to the fixed part 110.

[0069] like Figures 4 to 7As shown, in a specific embodiment, the driving module 131 includes a first driving component 1311, the transmission module 132 includes a first transmission component 1321, the movable part 120 has a first end 121 and a second end 122 that are far away from each other, the first driving component 1311 is arranged on the fixed part 110, the first transmission component 1321 is connected between the first driving component 1311 and the first end 121, the second end 122 is rotatably connected to the fixed part 110 to form a fulcrum 111, and the first driving component 1311 is used to drive the first transmission component 1321, so that the first transmission component 1321 drives the movable part 120 to swing back and forth around the fulcrum 111 relative to the fixed part 110.

[0070] It can be understood that when using a vehicle simulator, the first drive component 1311 drives the first transmission component 1321, so that the first transmission component 1321 drives the movable part 120 to swing back and forth around the fulcrum 111 relative to the fixed part 110, thereby achieving the effect of driving the entire vibrated target object 200 to swing back and forth around the fulcrum 111 relative to the fixed part 110, thereby more realistically simulating the scene of a vehicle passing through a vibrating road condition such as a speed bump or a gravel road section.

[0071] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, further, the first transmission assembly 1321 includes a first connecting rod 13211 and a second connecting rod 13212, one end of the first connecting rod 13211 is connected to the first driving assembly 1311, one end of the second connecting rod 13212 is movably connected to an end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the first driving assembly 1311, and one end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the first connecting rod 13211 is connected to the movable part 120, and the first driving assembly 1311 is used to drive the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, so that the second connecting rod 13212 drives the movable part 120 to swing back and forth relative to the fixed part 110 around the fulcrum 111.

[0072] It can be understood that when using a vehicle simulator, the first connecting rod 13211 is driven to rotate by the first driving component 1311, so that the second connecting rod 13212 drives the movable part 120 to swing back and forth around the fulcrum 111 relative to the fixed part 110, thereby achieving the effect of using the connecting rod structure to drive the entire vibrated target object 200 to swing back and forth relative to the fixed part 110.

[0073] like Figure 6As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, one end of the second connecting rod 13212 is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the first driving assembly 1311, and one end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the first connecting rod 13211 is hinged to the movable member 120. In this way, when the vehicle simulator is used, the first driving assembly 1311 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, so that the second connecting rod 13212 rotates relative to the first connecting rod 13211 and the movable member 120 respectively, thereby driving the movable member 120 to reciprocate relative to the fixed member 110 around the fulcrum 111, thereby achieving the effect of driving the entire vibrated target 200 to reciprocate relative to the fixed member 110.

[0074] It can be understood that the distance from the end of the first connecting rod 13211 connected to the first driving assembly 1311 to the end of the first connecting rod 13211 hinged to the second connecting rod 13212 is h, the distance from the vibration point 123 of the movable member 120 to the fulcrum 111 is L1, and the distance from the fulcrum 111 to the vibration experience point 2131 of the vibrated target object 200 is L2. In this way, the amplitude of the vibration point 123 on the movable member 120 is 2h, and the amplitude A felt by the user from the vibration experience point 2131 on the vibrated target object 200 is A=2hL2 / L1.

[0075] For example, when the vibrated target object 200 is a steering wheel device 210, Figure 6 ,and Figure 7 and Fig.15 As shown, the steering wheel device 210 includes a steering wheel 213, a rotating shaft 212 and a body 211. The rotating shaft 212 is rotatably disposed in the body 211 and connected to the steering wheel 213. At this time, the vibration experience point 2131 on the steering wheel device 210 is located on the outer peripheral side of the steering wheel 213. When the vibrated target 200 is a pedal device 220, as shown in FIG. Fig.16 As shown, the foot pedal 220 includes a base 221, a clutch pedal 222, a brake pedal 223 and an accelerator pedal 224. The clutch pedal 222, the brake pedal 223 and the accelerator pedal 224 are respectively rotatably arranged on the base 221. At this time, the vibration experience point 2131 on the foot pedal 220 is located on the clutch pedal 222, the brake pedal 223 and the accelerator pedal 224, that is, the vibration experience of each pedal is the same.

[0076] like Figure 7 As shown, in another exemplary embodiment, a first transverse groove 132121 is provided at one end of the second connecting rod 13212, and an end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the first driving assembly 1311 is slidably disposed in the first transverse groove 132121, and an end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the first connecting rod 13211 is fixedly connected to the movable part 120.

[0077] It should be noted that the above “the end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the first connecting rod 13211 is fixedly connected to the movable member 120” means that the second connecting rod 13212 and the movable member 120 are in a relatively static connection state. The fixed connection can further be welding, riveting, clamping, threaded connection, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0078] It can be understood that, since one end of the second connecting rod 13212 is provided with the first transverse groove 132121, the end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the first driving assembly 1311 is slidably disposed in the first transverse groove 132121, and the end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the first connecting rod 13211 is fixedly connected to the movable member 120. In this way, when the first driving assembly 1311 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, the lateral movement (i.e., the lateral movement) of the circular motion of the first connecting rod 13211 Figure 7 The left-right direction movement under the viewing angle) is carried out in the first transverse groove 132121, while the longitudinal movement in the circular motion (i.e. Figure 7 The movement in the up and down directions under the viewing angle) is transmitted to the movable part 120, so as to drive the entire vibrated target object 200 to swing back and forth relative to the fixed part 110 around the fulcrum 111. Similarly, the amplitude of the vibration point 123 on the movable part 120 is 2h, and the amplitude A=2hL2 / L1 felt by the user from the vibration experience point 2131 on the vibrated target object 200 is compared with the hinged manner between the connecting rods, but the curvature of the vibration sine curve is slightly different, which does not affect the experience of the vibrated target object 200 swinging back and forth around the fulcrum 111.

[0079] It should be noted that the above-mentioned left-right direction and up-down direction are perpendicular to each other, and the same is true for the left-right direction and up-down direction mentioned below.

[0080] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the first drive assembly 1311 includes a first driver 13111 and a first reducer 13112, the first reducer 13112 is connected between the first driver 13111 and an end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the second connecting rod 13212, and the first driver 13111 is used to drive the first reducer 13112 so that the first reducer 13112 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate.

[0081] Exemplarily, the first driver 13111 can be a device such as a drive motor or a drive motor that can output torque, and the first reducer 13112 can be a gear reducer, a worm gear reducer, etc. The same is true for the second driver 13121 and the second reducer 13122 mentioned below. No specific restrictions are made herein on the types of drivers and reducers.

[0082] It can be understood that since the first reducer 13112 is provided between the first driver 13111 and the first connecting rod 13211, this can amplify the torque output by the first driver 13111, so that the movable part 120 can more stably drive the entire vibrated target object 200 to swing back and forth around the fulcrum 111 relative to the fixed part 110.

[0083] In another exemplary embodiment, the first driving assembly 1311 includes a first driver 13111, which is directly connected to an end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the second connecting rod 13212, and is used to drive the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate. In this way, the first connecting rod 13211 can also be driven to rotate, so as to ultimately achieve the effect of driving the entire vibrated target 200 to swing back and forth relative to the fixing member 110 around the fulcrum 111.

[0084] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in another specific embodiment, the driving module 131 includes a first driving component 1311 and a second driving component 1312, the transmission module 132 includes a first transmission component 1321 and a second transmission component 1322, the movable part 120 has a first end 121 and a second end 122 far away from each other, the first driving component 1311 and the second driving component 1312 are arranged on the fixed part 110 at intervals, the first transmission component 1321 is connected between the first driving component 1311 and the first end 121, and the second transmission component 1322 is connected between the second driving component 1312 and the second end 122.

[0085] Based on the above structure, the vibration feedback device 100 has at least the following three working states (each working state represents a vibration mode): in the first working state, the first driving component 1311 drives the first transmission component 1321, so that the first transmission component 1321 drives the movable part 120 to swing back and forth around the second transmission component 1322 as the fulcrum 111; in the second working state, the second driving component 1312 drives the second transmission component 1322, so that the second transmission component 1322 drives the movable part 120 to swing back and forth around the first transmission component 1321 as the fulcrum 111; in the third working state, the first driving component 1311 drives the first transmission component 1321, and the second driving component 1312 drives the second transmission component 1322, so that the first transmission component 1321 and the second transmission component 1322 jointly drive the movable part 120 to swing back and forth in a straight line relative to the fixed part 110. In this way, the vibration feedback device 100 has at least three vibration modes according to different simulated driving environments, and the user can experience a variety of amplitude feelings.

[0086] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, further, the first transmission assembly 1321 includes a first connecting rod 13211 and a second connecting rod 13212, one end of the first connecting rod 13211 is connected to the first driving assembly 1311, one end of the second connecting rod 13212 is movably connected to an end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the first driving assembly 1311, and one end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the first connecting rod 13211 is connected to the movable member 120, and the second transmission assembly 1322 includes a third connecting rod 13221 and The fourth connecting rod 13222, one end of the third connecting rod 13221 is connected to the second driving assembly 1312, one end of the fourth connecting rod 13222 is movably connected to an end of the third connecting rod 13221 away from the second driving assembly 1312, one end of the fourth connecting rod 13222 away from the third connecting rod 13221 is connected to the movable part 120, the first driving assembly 1311 is used to drive the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, and the second driving assembly 1312 is used to drive the third connecting rod 13221 to rotate.

[0087] It can be understood that, based on the above structure, the vibration feedback device 100 has at least the following three working states: in the first working state, the first driving component 1311 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, so that the second connecting rod 13212 drives the movable member 120 to swing back and forth around the second transmission component 1322 as the fulcrum 111; in the second working state, the second driving component 1312 drives the third connecting rod 13221 to rotate, so that the fourth connecting rod 13222 drives the movable member 120 to swing back and forth around the first transmission component 1321 as the fulcrum 111; in the third working state, the first driving component 1311 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, and the second driving component 1312 drives the third connecting rod 13221 to rotate, so that the second connecting rod 13212 and the fourth connecting rod 13222 jointly drive the movable member 120 to swing back and forth in a straight line relative to the fixed member 110. In this way, the vibration feedback device 100 has at least three vibration modes according to different simulated driving environments.

[0088] like Figure 8 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, one end of the second connecting rod 13212 is hinged to one end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the first driving assembly 1311, one end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the first connecting rod 13211 is hinged to the movable part 120, one end of the fourth connecting rod 13222 is hinged to one end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the second driving assembly 1312, and one end of the fourth connecting rod 13222 away from the third connecting rod 13221 is hinged to the movable part 120.

[0089] It can be understood that in the first working state, the first driving component 1311 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, so that the second connecting rod 13212 drives the movable part 120 to swing back and forth around the fourth connecting rod 13222 and the end of the movable part 120 hinged to the movable part 120 as the fulcrum 111; in the second working state, the second driving component 1312 drives the third connecting rod 13221 to rotate, so that the fourth connecting rod 13222 drives the movable part 120 to swing back and forth around the second connecting rod 13212 and the end of the movable part 120 hinged to the movable part 120 as the fulcrum 111; in the third working state, the first driving component 1311 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, and the second driving component 1312 drives the third connecting rod 13221 to rotate, so that the second connecting rod 13212 and the fourth connecting rod 13222 jointly drive the movable part 120 to swing back and forth in a straight line relative to the fixed part 110.

[0090] like Fig. 9 As shown, in another exemplary embodiment, a first transverse groove 132121 is provided at one end of the second connecting rod 13212, and an end of the first connecting rod 13211 away from the first driving assembly 1311 is slidably arranged in the first transverse groove 132121, and an end of the second connecting rod 13212 away from the first connecting rod 13211 is fixedly connected to the movable part 120, and a second transverse groove 132221 is provided at one end of the fourth connecting rod 13222, and an end of the third connecting rod 13221 away from the second driving assembly 1312 is slidably arranged in the second transverse groove 132221, and an end of the fourth connecting rod 13222 away from the third connecting rod 13221 is fixedly connected to the movable part 120.

[0091] It can be understood that when the first driving assembly 1311 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate, the lateral movement (i.e. Fig. 9 The left-right direction movement under the viewing angle) is carried out in the first transverse groove 132121, while the longitudinal movement in the circular motion (i.e. Fig. 9 The vertical movement under the viewing angle) is transmitted to the movable member 120; when the second driving assembly 1312 drives the third connecting rod 13221 to rotate, the lateral movement in the circular motion of the third connecting rod 13221 (i.e. Fig. 9 The left-right direction movement under the viewing angle) is carried out in the second transverse groove 132221, while the longitudinal movement in the circular motion (i.e. Fig. 9 The movement in the up and down directions under the viewing angle) is transmitted to the movable member 120.

[0092] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the first drive assembly 1311 includes a first driver 13111 and a first reducer 13112, the first reducer 13112 is connected between the first driver 13111 and one end of the first connecting rod 13211, and the first driver 13111 is used to drive the first reducer 13112 so that the first reducer 13112 drives the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate.

[0093] It can be understood that since the first reducer 13112 is provided between the first driver 13111 and the first connecting rod 13211, this can amplify the torque output by the first driver 13111, so that the movable part 120 can more stably drive the entire vibrated target object 200 to move relative to the fixed part 110.

[0094] In another exemplary embodiment, the first driving assembly 1311 includes a first driver 13111, which is directly connected to one end of the first connecting rod 13211, and the first driver 13111 is used to directly drive the first connecting rod 13211 to rotate. In this way, the first connecting rod 13211 can also be driven to rotate, so as to ultimately achieve the effect of driving the entire vibrated target 200 to move relative to the fixing member 110.

[0095] like Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the second drive assembly 1312 includes a second driver 13121 and a second reducer 13122, the second reducer 13122 is connected between the second driver 13121 and one end of the third connecting rod 13221, and the second driver 13121 is used to drive the second reducer 13122 so that the second reducer 13122 drives the third connecting rod 13221 to rotate.

[0096] It can be understood that since the second reducer 13122 is provided between the second driver 13121 and the third connecting rod 13221, this can amplify the torque output by the second driver 13121, so that the movable part 120 can more stably drive the entire vibrated target object 200 to move relative to the fixed part 110.

[0097] In another exemplary embodiment, the second driving assembly 1312 includes a second driver 13121, which is directly connected to one end of the third connecting rod 13221, and the second driver 13121 is used to directly drive the third connecting rod 13221 to rotate. In this way, the third connecting rod 13221 can also be driven to rotate, so as to ultimately achieve the effect of driving the entire vibrated target 200 to move relative to the fixing member 110.

[0098] like Figure 4 , Fig.10 and Fig.14 As shown, in another specific embodiment, the driving module 131 includes a first electromagnetic coil 1313 and a second electromagnetic coil 1314, the transmission module 132 includes a first iron core 1323 and a second iron core 1324, the movable member 120 has a first end 121 and a second end 122 that are far away from each other, the first electromagnetic coil 1313 and the second electromagnetic coil 1314 are arranged on the fixed member 110 at intervals, the first iron core 1323 is arranged through the first electromagnetic coil 1313 and is connected to the first end 121, and the second iron core 1324 is arranged through the second end 122. The electromagnetic coil 1314 is provided and connected to the second end 122, the first electromagnetic coil 1313 is used to drive the first iron core 1323, and the second electromagnetic coil 1314 is used to drive the second iron core 1324, so that the first iron core 1323 and the second iron core 1324 jointly drive the movable part 120 to swing back and forth in a straight line relative to the fixed part 110, thereby also achieving the effect of driving the entire vibrated target object 200 to swing back and forth in a straight line relative to the fixed part 110, thereby more realistically simulating the scene of a vehicle passing through a vibrating road condition such as a speed bump or a gravel road section.

[0099] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the vibration feedback device 100 further includes a shock absorber assembly 140 , which is connected between the movable member 120 and the fixed member 110 .

[0100] It is understandable that by connecting the shock absorber assembly 140 between the movable part 120 and the fixed part 110, the vibration of the vibrated target object 200 from the movable part 120 can be alleviated, thereby improving the effect of simulating vibrating road conditions such as a vehicle passing through speed bumps, gravel roads, etc.

[0101] like Fig.11 As shown, in one embodiment, the vibration feedback device 100 further includes a fastening assembly 150, which is used to be detachably connected to the movable member 120 and the vibrated target object 200, respectively, so as to realize the detachable connection between the vibration feedback device 100 and the vibrated target object 200. In this way, the compatibility of the vibration feedback device 100 can be improved. For example, when it is necessary to provide a vibration effect for the steering wheel device 210, the movable member 120 is connected to the steering wheel device 210 through the fastening assembly 150; when it is necessary to provide a vibration effect for the pedal device 220, the movable member 120 is connected to the pedal device 220 through the fastening assembly 150.

[0102] like Fig.11 As shown, further, the fastening assembly 150 includes a plurality of threaded fasteners 151 arranged at intervals, and each threaded fastener 151 is used to penetrate the movable member 120 and be threadedly connected to the vibrated target object 200 .

[0103] Exemplarily, the threaded fastener 151 may be a bolt, a screw, a screw, or other element having a threaded rod, and no specific limitation is made herein.

[0104] It can be understood that, by providing the threaded fastener 151 , it is convenient to connect the vibration feedback device 100 to the steering wheel device 210 and / or to connect the vibration feedback device 100 to the pedal device 220 .

[0106] It should be noted that the above-mentioned “the movable part 120 is connected to the steering wheel device 210 and / or the movable part 120 is connected to the foot pedal device 220” means that the vibration feedback device 100 can be used alone on the steering wheel device 210, can be used alone on the foot pedal device 220, or can be used on the steering wheel device 210 and the foot pedal device 220 at the same time. For example, the steering wheel device 210 and the foot pedal device 220 are each equipped with a vibration feedback device 100, or the steering wheel device 210 and the foot pedal device 220 share the same vibration feedback device 100.

[0107] It should be understood that, since the vehicle simulator provided in this embodiment has the vibration feedback device 100 in any of the embodiments of the first aspect described above, it has all the beneficial effects of the vibration feedback device 100, which will not be described in detail here.
