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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. 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-Figure 2 An embodiment of the utility model provides an adjustable cockpit of a VR spacecraft, including: a VR spacecraft 1 and a cockpit seat 6.

[0020] Among them, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the cockpit seat 6 is arranged inside the VR spacecraft 1, the inner wall of the VR spacecraft 1 is fixedly connected with the first L-shaped frame 2, the top of the cockpit seat 6 is fixedly connected with the second L-shaped frame 3, the top of the second L-shaped frame 3 is fixedly connected with the cylinder 14, the cylinder 14 passes through the first L-shaped frame 2, and the outer wall of the cylinder 14 is rotatably installed inside the first L-shaped frame 2 through a bearing, two fixed tubes 5 are symmetrically hinged on both sides of the cockpit seat 6, and a U-shaped enclosure rod 7 is slidably installed inside the fixed tube 5.

[0021] Furthermore, a gear ring 12 is installed on the top of the cylinder 14, and a motor 11 is installed on the top of the first L-shaped frame 2. The rotating shaft of the motor 11 is meshed with the gear ring 12 through a gear, and the travel switch 18 is connected to the electric control end of the motor 11. After the cylinder 14 passes through the first L-shaped frame 2 and is installed inside the first L-shaped frame 2 by a bearing, the second L-shaped frame 3 can rotate at the bottom of the first L-shaped frame 2, and at the same time, the first L-shaped frame 2 is prevented from rotating when the cylinder 14 rotates. By starting the motor 11, the gear ring 12 and the cylinder 14 can be driven to rotate, so that the second L-shaped frame 3 and the cockpit seat 6 can rotate, simulating the change of the seat direction. The U-shaped fence 7 on the cockpit seat 6 can provide additional support and stability for the upper body of the human body.

[0022] In this embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a first electric push rod 4 is installed on both sides of the cockpit seat 6, and the piston rod of the first electric push rod 4 is hinged to the outer wall of the fixed tube 5. An arc groove 17 is provided on the top of the second L-shaped frame 3, and a slidable travel switch 18 is installed inside the arc groove 17. A connecting tube 19 is installed at the bottom of the first L-shaped frame 2, and one end of the top of the travel switch 18 is clamped in the inside of the connecting tube 19.

[0023] When in use, by starting the first electric push rod 4, the two fixed tubes 5 can be driven to swing up and down to adjust their positions. In particular, when the second L-shaped frame 3 rotates to simulate the change in the direction of the seat, the travel switch 18 can be controlled by the connecting tube 19 to change the travel in the arc groove 17. When the travel changes, the first electric push rod 4 can be switched to drive the fixed tube 5 and the U-shaped surrounding rod 7 to swing upward, so that the U-shaped surrounding rod 7 can fit against the human chest.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, four connecting rods 9 are symmetrically hinged at the bottom of the cockpit seat 6, and footboards 10 are hinged at the ends of the four connecting rods 9, wherein a plate body 20 is installed on one side of two of the connecting rods 9, and a second electric push rod 15 is installed at the bottom of the cockpit seat 6, and the piston rod of the second electric push rod 15 is hinged to one side of the plate body 20. When the user sits in the cockpit seat 6, the feet can be placed on the top of the footboard 10, and the second electric push rod 15 can change the position of the footboard 10 to improve the comfort of the user's foot placement. In addition, armrest pads 16 are installed on both sides of the cockpit seat 6, so that the user's hands and limbs can be placed on the armrest pads 16.

[0025] Further, see Figure 1 A touch-control integrated machine 8 is installed inside the VR spacecraft 1. The touch-control integrated machine 8 has a built-in single-chip microcomputer. The single-chip microcomputer in the touch-control integrated machine 8 is electrically connected to the first electric push rod 4, the second electric push rod 15 and the motor 11 to realize electronic control operation.

[0026] Specifically, a limit shell 13 is installed on the bottom inner wall of the VR spacecraft 1. The limit shell 13 is located at the bottom of one side of the cockpit seat 6, and limits the rotatable angle and position of the cockpit seat 6. In addition.

[0027] According to the above technical scheme, the working steps of this scheme are summarized and sorted out: in the utility model, the top of the cockpit seat 6 is connected to the second L-shaped frame 3, and a cylinder 14 is fixed on the top of the second L-shaped frame 3. The cylinder 14 passes through the first L-shaped frame 2 and is installed inside the first L-shaped frame 2 using a bearing, so that the second L-shaped frame 3 can rotate at the bottom of the first L-shaped frame 2, and at the same time avoids the first L-shaped frame 2 from rotating when the cylinder 14 rotates. The U-shaped surrounding rod 7 on the cockpit seat 6 can provide additional support and stability for the upper body of the human body.

[0028] By starting the first electric push rod 4, the two fixed tubes 5 can be driven to swing up and down to adjust their positions. In particular, when the second L-shaped frame 3 rotates to simulate the change in the direction of the seat, the travel switch 18 can be controlled by the connecting tube 19 to change the travel in the arc groove 17. When the travel changes, the first electric push rod 4 can be switched to drive the fixed tube 5 and the U-shaped surrounding rod 7 to swing upward, so that the U-shaped surrounding rod 7 can be pressed against the human chest, further improving the stability of the human body when riding the VR spacecraft 1, enhancing the sense of immersion and improving safety.
