[0002] With the development of the automobile industry, automobiles have gradually entered people's daily lives and the penetration rate has increased year by year. In order to detect and study the driving behaviors of drivers, driving simulators have emerged as the times require. A driving simulator is composed of multiple components such as a steering wheel bracket, a pedal bracket, and a seat bracket, which are integrally installed on a base frame.

[0003] In the prior art, the base frame of an automobile driving simulator is usually designed to have a relatively large area so that each bracket can be installed and connected to its surface. However, this method will inevitably make it inconvenient to carry the automobile driving simulator. Moreover, during the handling process of the base frame with a large area, it may not be able to pass through the door, resulting in not only troublesome disassembly and assembly but also low overall flexibility.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a foldable base frame for an automobile driving simulator to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

The first fixing seat and the second fixing seat are respectively located on the two bottom plates, and a connecting member for inserting into the first fixing seat is slidably connected to the second fixing seat.

[0012] The technical solution of the present utility model is further set as follows: The cross-section of the connecting member is L-shaped. A through groove communicating with the outside is formed on the outer wall of the second fixing seat away from the first fixing seat.

[0022] In order to be able to more clearly understand the technical means of the present utility model and implement it according to the content of the specification, the following combines the drawings and embodiments to further describe in detail the specific implementation manner of the present utility model. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present utility model but not to limit the scope of the present utility model. Embodiment

[0023] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present utility model provides a foldable base frame for an automotive driving simulator, including a base composed of two bottom plates 1. The two bottom plates 1 can be made of aluminum alloy to ensure the strength and stability of the structure while reducing the weight. The two bottom plates 1 are symmetrically arranged and connected by a hinge 2. The hinge 2 is located on the top surface of the two bottom plates 1. Anti-slip foot pads 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the two bottom plates 1. The anti-slip foot pads 11 are distributed at the corners of the two bottom plates 1. One end in the length direction of the base is the seat bracket installation area, and the other end in the length direction of the base is the control bracket installation area.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a plurality of first installation grooves 3 are formed on the top surfaces of the two bottom plates 1. The plurality of first installation grooves 3 are arranged along the width direction of the base. The distance between adjacent first installation grooves 3 at one end in the length direction of the base is greater than the distance between adjacent first installation grooves 3 at the other end in the length direction of the base. The seat bracket installation area is formed by the end with a larger distance between adjacent first installation grooves 3 on the base, and the control bracket installation area is formed by the end with a smaller distance between adjacent first installation grooves 3 on the base. A plurality of second installation grooves 4 communicating with the plurality of first installation grooves 3 are formed on the top surfaces of the two bottom plates 1. The plurality of second installation grooves 4 are arranged along the length direction of the base. The seat bracket and various control brackets can be installed on the first installation grooves 3 and the second installation grooves 4 through cross slides.

[0025] With the above - mentioned structure, the seat bracket and various control brackets can be first installed along the first installation groove 3 to their respective corresponding installation areas, and then the distance between them can be adjusted through the second installation groove 4 to meet the needs of different users. Moreover, because the distance between adjacent first installation grooves 3 in the control bracket installation area is small, it is convenient to finely adjust the distance between various control brackets. The first installation groove 3 and the second installation groove 4 can be reserved and formulated according to the standards in the automotive industry to adapt to steering wheels, pedals, monitors and seats of different brands and models.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, a number of receiving grooves 10 are jointly formed on the two bottom plates 1. The number of receiving grooves 10 is arranged in an array along the symmetry axis of the two bottom plates 1. A locking mechanism is provided in the receiving groove 10. The locking mechanism includes a first fixed seat 5 and a second fixed seat 6. The first fixed seat 5 and the second fixed seat 6 are respectively located on the two bottom plates 1. A connecting member 7 for inserting into the first fixed seat 5 is slidably connected to the second fixed seat 6. The cross - section of the connecting member 7 is L - shaped. A through - groove 8 communicating with the outside is formed on the outer wall of the second fixed seat 6 away from the first fixed seat 5. The short side of the connecting member 7 extends out from the through - groove 8, and clamping interfaces 9 are formed at both ends of the through - groove 8.

[0027] With the above - mentioned structure, since the locking mechanism is located in the receiving groove 10, when the two bottom plates 1 are folded and overlapped, the locking mechanism will be hidden between the two bottom plates 1, avoiding damage to the locking mechanism during storage and handling. Moreover, the locking mechanism is easy to operate. When the two bottom plates 1 are unfolded, only need to slide the connecting member 7 to insert the connecting member 7 into the first fixed seat 5, and then let the short side of the connecting member 7 enter the clamping interface 9 on the through - groove 8, then the fixed effect of the unfolded state of the two bottom plates 1 can be achieved, so as to ensure the stability of the foldable base frame when unfolded and avoid shaking or moving during use.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, by designing a simple and fast folding and unfolding mechanism, while ensuring that users can easily operate, the portability and flexibility of the foldable base frame are improved, which is convenient for storage and handling. The design method of the hinge 2 on the top surface of the two bottom plates 1 makes the first installation groove 3 and the second installation groove 4 be hidden when the two bottom plates 1 are folded and overlapped, so as to achieve the protection effect and prevent damage during storage and handling. The first installation groove 3 and the second installation groove 4 can facilitate the adjustment of the position distance between the seat bracket and various control brackets including the steering wheel bracket, the pedal bracket and the monitor bracket when the foldable base frame is unfolded, to meet the needs of different users. The anti - slip foot pads 11 on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 1 are used to increase the stability when unfolded and avoid shaking or moving during use.

[0029] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of the present utility model belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and refinements should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present utility model.
