Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of VR mobile platforms, in particular to a walking simulation component of a VR mobile platform. Background Art

[0002] The ground walking structures of virtual reality (VR) mobile platforms play a vital role in the VR experience. They are designed to simulate the feeling of real walking and enhance the user's immersion and sense of being in the scene. Such ground walking structures usually include movable platforms or walking areas. These platforms can be flat or terrain simulators with different heights and inclination angles to simulate the feeling of different terrains. In addition, the ground walking structures also need to consider the safety of users. Therefore, these structures are usually equipped with safety belts or guardrails to prevent users from accidentally falling or falling. However, the current mobile platforms will open areas for guardrails to rotate in non-walking areas. This area allows guardrails and safety belts to follow the user's turning. Such guardrails are mainly located behind the user. They are asymmetric structures. Therefore, the force points and protection points of the guardrails are behind the user. Users are prone to feel unstable or unnatural when walking or turning, which affects the user's comfort and experience quality. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides an embodiment: a walking simulation component of a VR mobile platform, comprising a terrain base 1 and three connecting blocks 3 slidably installed at equal intervals on the terrain base 1, and a pole support 4 is installed on the top of the connecting block 3, and a plurality of universal ball walking auxiliary structures 8 are installed in a plane annular array on the top of the terrain base 1, and the universal ball walking auxiliary structure 8 is used to assist the user to walk in situ, and an annular sinking groove 101 is provided at the top edge position of the terrain base 1 as a sliding track line of the pole support 4, and the bottom end of the pole support 4 extends to the inside of the annular sinking groove 101, and a triangular plate 5 is installed on the top of the three pole support members 4, and an annular covering frame 6 concentric with itself is provided above the terrain base 1, and an inner ring sleeve 601 is fixed on the inner wall of the annular covering frame 6, and a five-point safety belt is installed on the inner wall of the inner ring sleeve 601;

[0020] Three equally spaced connecting rod-type deflection structures 7 are mounted on the outer wall of the annular covering frame 6 and are slidably connected to the upright support member 4;

[0021] A ring track 102 is fixed on the top of the terrain base 1 on one side of the annular sinking groove 101, and a roller 401 is fixed on one end of the surface of the vertical pole support member 4. The roller 401 and the ring track 102 are in rolling contact. When the vertical pole support member 4 rotates with the annular sinking groove 101 as the trajectory line, the roller 401 and the ring track 102 roll relative to each other, so that the annular covering frame 6, the connecting rod type deflection structure 7, and the vertical pole support member 4 are more stable and smooth when rotating;

[0022] The connecting rod type deflection structure 7 includes an E-shaped sliding sleeve 701 slidably mounted on the vertical pole support member 4, and a connecting rod body 702 mounted on both sides of the bottom end of the E-shaped sliding sleeve 701 through ball heads. The other end of the connecting rod body 702 is movably connected to the top of the annular covering frame 6 through the ball head. When the annular covering frame 6 moves according to the user's body, the annular covering frame 6 follows the user's body swing to make the corresponding connecting rod body 702 swing. In this process, the two ends of the connecting rod body 702 are respectively hinged with the E-shaped sliding sleeve 701 and the annular covering frame 6, and the swing is flexible. At the same time, the E-shaped sliding sleeve 701 is slidably matched with the vertical pole support member 4, so that the annular covering frame 6 can also be lifted and slid, and can follow the user's squatting, jumping and other actions to avoid unnecessary shaking or collision during use.

[0023] The pole support member 4 and the annular covering frame 6 are both made of hard plastic. In the mobile platform, the user may generate forces in different directions. The pole support member 4 and the annular covering frame 6 made of hard plastic can effectively stabilize the user's body and protect his safety.

[0024] The universal ball walking auxiliary structure 8 includes a circular pad 801 bolted to the top of the terrain base 1, and a steel ball 802 embedded in the top of the circular pad 801. Both sides of the top of the circular pad 801 are provided with internal thread holes 803 for bolts to be driven into. The steel ball 802 is embedded in the top of the circular pad 801, and the circular pad 801 is fixed to the top of the terrain base 1 through the internal thread holes 803 and bolts. When the user steps on the steel ball 802 and applies force, the steel ball 802 can rotate arbitrarily and assist the user in walking.

[0025] The outer edge of the top of the terrain base 1 is integrally formed with a slope outer ring sleeve 2, and the inner wall of the slope outer ring sleeve 2 can also be installed with a plurality of other universal ball walking auxiliary structures 8 in an array to simulate the slope section during walking.

[0026] When the embodiment of the present application is in use, the staff first fixes the safety belt for connecting to the user's waist on the outside or inside of the annular covering frame 6, so that the user can connect to the annular covering frame 6 through the safety belt. After the user stands on the top of the terrain base 1 using the safety belt and the annular covering frame 6, the user can walk in situ with the assistance of a plurality of universal ball walking auxiliary structures 8 arranged in an annular array on the top of the terrain base 1. When the user drives the annular covering frame 6 to rotate, since the top of the annular covering frame 6 is connected to the corresponding upright support member 4 through the connecting rod type deflection structure 7, the connecting rod type deflection structure 7 can assist the annular covering frame 6 in lifting and lowering while making the annular covering frame 6 deflect and displace within a certain range, and when the user turns around, the annular covering frame 6 can be lifted and lowered. The annular covering frame 6 drives the upright support member 4 to rotate with the annular sinking groove 101 as the trajectory groove through the connecting rod type swing structure 7, so as to realize the functions of turning and changing direction. In this process, the three upright support members 4 and the connecting rod type swing structure 7 are used. Compared with the asymmetric guardrail, the annular covering frame 6 surrounds the user's waist and provides uniform support force. It will not cause the body's imbalance because the support member is mainly located behind the user, making the user's overall movement experience more comfortable and natural. In addition, due to the existence of the upright support member 4 and the connecting rod type swing structure 7, the annular covering frame 6 can automatically adjust its position when the user turns, and will not restrict the user's walking and turning, so that the user can move and rotate more freely in the virtual environment, further enhancing the user's sense of immersion and participation.
