It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings are not limitations on the scope of the present utility model, but only to illustrate the essential spirit of the technical solutions of the present utility model.

[0041] References to "an embodiment" or "one embodiment" throughout the specification mean that the particular features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment are included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearances of "in an embodiment" or "in one embodiment" throughout the specification do not necessarily all refer to the same embodiment. Additionally, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any manner in one or more embodiments.

[0042] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It should be noted that the term "or" is generally used in its inclusive sense of "and / or" unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0043] In the following description, in order to clearly show the structure and working mode of the present utility model, many directional terms will be used for description. However, terms such as "front", "rear", "left", "right", "outer", "inner", "outward", "inward", "up", "down", etc. should be understood as convenient terms and not as limiting terms.

[0044] The present utility model relates to a simulator bracket 100, as Figure 1 and 2 shown, the simulator bracket 100 includes a base 1, a plurality of locking members (not shown in the figure), an adjustment frame 2, a steering wheel bracket 3 and a display screen bracket 4 connected to the adjustment frame 2, and two mounting brackets 5 for mounting a seat (not shown in the figure) and a pedal (not shown in the figure).

[0045] The base 1 is used to support the adjustment frame 2 and the two mounting brackets 5. The two mounting brackets 5 are respectively used to mount the seat and the pedal, while the adjustment frame 2 is used to support the steering wheel bracket 3 and the display screen bracket 4. The steering wheel bracket 3 is used to mount the steering wheel, and the display screen bracket 4 is used to mount the display screen. The following will be described in detail according to the drawings of the present invention.

[0046] The base 1 includes two support members 11 arranged parallel and spaced apart in the first direction. As Figure 2 shown, the two support members 11 extend in the second direction and both ends or at least one end are fixed by a cross beam. In other embodiments, the two support members 11 can also be fixed to the ground without the cross beam for fixing the relative position.

[0047] Define the end of the simulator bracket 100 where the pedal is installed as the front end, and the end where the seat is installed as the rear end. That is to say, the second direction is the front-rear direction of the simulator bracket 100, and the first direction is the left-right direction of the simulator bracket 100.

[0048] In Figure 2 the shown embodiment, the two support members 11 of the base 1 are columns with a rectangular cross-section and are fixedly connected by a cross beam at one end. Locking channels 101 are provided on the top surface, bottom surface, and the inner and outer side surfaces arranged oppositely in the first direction of the support member 11. One locking channel 101 is provided on the top surface and the bottom surface of the support member 11 respectively, and three locking channels 101 are provided on the inner and outer side surfaces of the support member 11 respectively. The locking channels 101 of the two support members 11 of the base 1 can refer to Figure 12 or Figure 11 .

[0049] The bottom surface of the support member 11 is close to the ground, and the top surface is the surface opposite to the bottom surface. The inner side surface of the support member 11 is the side surface where the two support members 11 face each other, and the outer side surface is the side surface opposite to the inner side surface.

[0050] The locking channel 101 extends along the length direction of the support member 11, that is, along the second direction. The locking channel 101 is similar to a track on the outer surface of the support member 11, and its cross-section is generally T-shaped, which can be used for multiple locking members to fix the mounting bracket 5 and the adjustment frame 2 to the base 1. In some embodiments, the locking member can adopt the form of a T-bolt and a nut, where the head of the T-bolt is located within the locking channel 101 and can slide within the locking channel 101, and the screw of the bolt extends outside the locking channel 101. The mounting bracket 5 can be fixed to the base 1 through the nut. In some other embodiments, the locking member can adopt the implementation form of a T-nut and a bolt. The T-nut is located within the locking channel 101 and can slide within the locking channel 101. The bolt is passed through the mounting bracket 5 and connected to the T-nut located within the locking channel 101. Of course, in other embodiments, the locking member can also adopt other implementation forms, and the present utility model does not limit the specific implementation form of the locking member.

[0051] Since the locking channel 101 has a certain length, the two mounting brackets 5 for installing the seat and the pedal can be selectively installed at any position of the two support members 11, that is, the positions of the two mounting brackets 5 along the second direction can be adjusted as needed.

[0052] The two mounting brackets 5 respectively include two connecting plates 51, a plurality of adjusting rods 52, and locking members for fixedly connecting the adjusting rods 52 and the connecting plates 51. The two connecting plates 51 are arranged at intervals along the first direction and are respectively connected to the inner sides of the two support members 11 through the locking members, and the two adjusting rods 52 respectively extend along the first direction and are connected to the two connecting plates 51 at both ends. The seat or the pedal can be connected to the adjusting rods 52.

[0053] Specifically, the connecting plate 51 is provided with a base mounting position and an adjustment hole. Among them, the base mounting position includes a plurality of second base mounting holes 512 and multiple columns of first base mounting hole groups. The second base mounting holes 512 are long strip-shaped extending along the vertical direction, and the plurality of second base mounting holes 512 and the multiple columns of first base mounting hole groups are alternately arranged at intervals along the second direction.

[0054] Each column of the first base mounting hole groups includes a plurality of first base mounting holes 511 arranged along the vertical direction, and the lowermost first base mounting hole 511 is open towards the bottom end of the connecting plate 51.

[0055] Each second base mounting hole 512 is open towards the bottom end of the connecting plate 51, that is, it is formed by being recessed from the bottom end of the connecting plate 51.

[0056] When the mounting bracket 5 needs to install a seat, the T-bolt of the locking member can pass through the first base mounting hole 511 to fix the connecting plate 51 to a position near the rear end of the support member 11. When the mounting bracket 5 needs to install a footrest, the T-bolt of the locking member can pass through the second base mounting hole 512 and fix the connecting plate 51 to a position near the front end of the support member 11. Since three locking channels 101 are provided on the inner side and the outer side of the support member 11 along the first direction, and the T-bolt of the locking member can be placed in any one of the locking channels 101, that is to say, the two connecting plates 51 can be clamped outside the two support members 11 and fixedly connected to the locking channels 101 on the outer sides of the two support members 11 through the locking member.

[0057] In Figures 1 - 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the two connecting plates 51 are located on the inner sides of the two support members 11 and are fixedly connected to the locking channels 101 on the inner sides of the two support members 11 through the locking member.

[0058] When the mounting bracket 5 needs to install a seat, it is necessary to fix the first base mounting hole 511 of the connecting plate 51 to the support member 11 through the locking member.

[0059] Since the locking channels 101 on the inner side and the outer side of the support member 11 have a certain length, and the connecting plate 51 is provided with a plurality of first base mounting holes 511 in the vertical direction, the T-bolt or T-nut of the locking member can be placed at any position in the locking channel 101. Therefore, the mounting bracket 5 can be connected to any position of the support member 11 along the second direction, that is, the two mounting brackets 4 can be adjusted forward and backward. In addition, since the first base mounting hole 511 includes a plurality of first base mounting holes 511 in the vertical direction, any one of the first base mounting holes 511 can be fixed to the T-bolt or T-nut installed in any one of the locking channels 101 through the locking member. By matching different first base mounting holes 511 and different locking channels 101, the height of the connecting plate 51 can be adjusted.

[0060] In some embodiments, the two connecting plates 51 are located inside the two support members 11, and a hanging rod (not shown in the figure) is further provided at the bottom end of the inner side of the support member 11. The hanging rod can be located below the two locking channels 101. Since the first base mounting hole 511 located at the bottom in the first base mounting hole group of the two connecting plates 51 is open towards the bottom end of the connecting plate 51, the first base mounting hole 511 can be hung on the hanging rod. After hanging the connecting plate 51 on the hanging rod, the connecting plate 51 is fixed through the locking member and the first base mounting hole 511 located at the top, which is convenient for installation.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, two connecting plates 51 are located inside two support members 11. The T-bolt of the locking member extends outside any one of the locking channels 101 on the inner side surface of the support member 11. The first base mounting hole group's bottommost first base 1 mounting hole is suspended on this T-bolt and can be fixed by a nut.

[0062] In another preferred embodiment, the T-nut of the locking member is located inside the locking channel 101 at the bottom on the inner side surface of the support member 11. The first base mounting hole 511 at the bottom end can be suspended on a hanging rod, and the screw rod can pass through the first base mounting hole 511 at the top and be connected to the T-nut inside the locking channel 101.

[0063] When the mounting bracket 5 needs to install a footrest, it is necessary to cooperate with the second base mounting hole 512 of the connecting plate 51 through the locking member to fix the footrest.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the two connecting plates 51 of the mounting bracket 5 are clamped on the outer side surfaces of the two support members 11. The T-bolt of the locking member extends outside any one of the locking channels 101 on the outer side surface of the support member 11. The second base mounting holes 512 of the two connecting plates 51 can be suspended outside the two T-bolts from top to bottom and fixed by nuts.

[0065] In another embodiment, the T-nut is installed in any one of the locking channels 101 on the inner side surface of the support member 11, and the bolt passes through any position of the second base mounting hole 512 of the connecting plate 51 and is connected to the T-nut.

[0066] In another preferred embodiment, the two connecting plates 51 are attached to the inner side surfaces of the two support members 11. The T-bolt of the locking member extends outside any one of the locking channels 101 on the inner side surface of the support member 11. The second base mounting holes 512 of the two connecting plates 51 can be suspended outside the two T-bolts from top to bottom and fixed by bolts.

[0067] The T-bolts of the locking member being located in different locking channels 101 can enable the connecting plate 51 to have different heights to adjust the height of the footrest.

[0068] It should be understood that in a preferred embodiment, the depths of the multiple second base mounting holes 512 are different to increase the adjustment range of the pedal height. In addition, the second base mounting holes 512 are elongated strips extending in the vertical direction for supporting the pedal. When the player operates, a force is applied to the pedal in a direction inclined forward and downward. Therefore, the force exerted by the pedal on the mounting frame 5 is in a direction forward and downward, that is, not a vertically downward force. So the locking member can fix any position of the second base mounting hole 512 to the support member 11, and the pedal will not move downward during use. When the player sits on the seat, the force exerted on the seat is a vertically downward force. Therefore, the first base mounting holes 511 are all round holes to prevent the player from exerting excessive force on the seat during operation and causing the seat to move downward.

[0069] The adjustment holes of the connecting plate 51 are located above the base mounting position. The adjustment holes are elongated through holes extending in the second direction and penetrating the connecting plate 51 in the first direction. The adjustment holes are defined as the first adjustment holes 513. Each mounting frame 5 includes a plurality of adjustment rods 52. The adjustment rods 52 are located between two connecting plates 51 and both ends can be connected to any position of the first adjustment holes 513 of the two connecting plates 51 through locking members. Since the first adjustment holes 513 extend in the second direction, the adjustment rods 52 can be selected at the positions of the two connecting plates 51 in the second direction, that is, the adjustment rods 52 can be adjusted in the front-back direction.

[0070] Specifically, locking holes are respectively provided at both ends of each adjustment rod 52 in the first direction. The locking holes are threaded holes. The bolts of the locking members can pass through the first adjustment holes 513 and be screwed into the locking holes to fix the adjustment rods 52 to the connecting plates 51. By adjusting the positions of the locking holes and the first adjustment holes 513, the front-back positions of the adjustment rods 52 can be adjusted to adapt to seats or pedals of different rules. In addition, locking channels 101 are respectively provided on the top surface, bottom surface or front-back side surfaces of each adjustment rod 52. The seat or pedal can be installed at any position of the adjustment rod 52 through the locking members to adjust the left-right position of the seat or pedal. The profile of the adjustment rod 52 can refer to Figure 11 or Figure 12 , or other implementation manners.

[0071] The connection manner in which the locking member installs the seat or pedal to the connecting rod is similar to the implementation manner in which the locking member connects the connecting plate 51 to the base 1, and will not be elaborated here.

[0072] In addition, when the distance between the first adjustment holes 513 and the base mounting position increases, the height of the seat or pedal can also be increased to a certain extent. That is, the greater the overall height of the connecting plate 51, the more the number of the first base mounting holes 511 of the base mounting position on the connecting plate 51 can be set in the vertical direction, and the greater the distance between the first adjustment holes 513 and the base mounting position, the greater the up-down adjustment range of the mounting frame 5.

[0073] The height of the connecting plate 51 can be set according to the needs of the simulator bracket 100. The present utility model uses two connecting plates 51 with different heights. One of the connecting plates 51 has a height of 90 mm, and the other has a height of 120 mm. For the formula simulation simulator bracket 100, the height of the seat needs to be less than the height of the pedal. Therefore, two connecting plates 51 with a height of 90 mm are selected for the mounting bracket 5 for installing the seat, and two connecting plates 51 with a height of 120 mm are selected for the mounting bracket 5 for installing the pedal. For the GT simulator bracket 100, the height of the seat needs to be greater than the height of the pedal. Therefore, the connecting plate 51 with a height of 120 mm is selected for the mounting bracket 5 for installing the seat, and the connecting plate 51 with a height of 90 mm is selected for the mounting bracket 5 for installing the footrest.

[0074] Whether it is the connecting plate 51 with a height of 90 mm or the connecting plate 51 with a height of 120 mm, their shapes are similar, but only the height, the number of the first base mounting holes 511, and the depth of the second base mounting holes 512 are different. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the mounting brackets 5 for the mounting base 1 and the mounting bracket 5 for installing the seat can also select connecting plates 51 of the same specification, that is, the two mounting brackets 5 have the same shape.

[0075] In Figure 1 the illustrated embodiment, the mounting bracket 5 for installing the seat uses the connecting plate 51 with a height of 120 mm. This mounting bracket 5 is as Figure 5 shown, while the mounting bracket for installing the footrest uses the connecting plate 51 with a height of 90 mm. This mounting bracket 5 is as Figure 6 shown. Through Figure 5 and Figure 6 it can be seen that the connecting plates 51 of the two mounting brackets 5 have different heights, the number of the first base mounting holes 511 is also different, and the depth of the second base mounting holes 512 is also different.

[0076] The two mounting brackets 5 of the present utility model can be interchangeably used when installing the seat and the footrest, which is convenient for production, processing, and assembly, and can also enable the simulator bracket 100 to have different usage methods, enhancing the user experience.

[0077] When installing the mounting bracket 5, the seat or the footrest can be first fixed to the mounting bracket 5, and then the two connecting plates 51 of the mounting bracket 5 can be hung on the T-shaped bolts of the locking member and fixed with nuts, which is very convenient.

[0078] In addition, two connecting plates 51 in one of the mounting brackets 5 are the first connecting components, and two connecting plates 51 in the other mounting bracket 5 are the second connecting components. The distance between the first adjusting hole 513 of the connecting plate 51 of the first connecting component and the base mounting position is different from the distance between the first adjusting hole 513 of the connecting plate 51 of the second connecting component and the base mounting position. That is to say, the height of the connecting plate 51 of the first connecting component is different from the height of the connecting plate 51 of the second connecting component. For example, the connecting plate 51 of the first connecting component is a connecting plate 51 with a height of 90 mm, while the height of the two connecting plates 51 of the second connecting component is 120 mm.

[0079] The first connecting component and the second connecting component form a connecting plate assembly, and this connecting plate assembly can also be used on the base 1 of other simulator brackets 100, not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings of the present invention.

[0080] The adjusting frame 2 can be installed at any position along the second direction of the two support members 11 as needed. Specifically, the adjusting frame 2 includes two support columns 21, and the two support columns 21 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the bottom ends of the two support columns 21 are respectively connected to the two support members 11 through a pair of locking members.

[0081] In some embodiments, the bottom ends of the two support columns 21 are respectively fixed to the top surfaces of the two support members 11 through the mounting plate 6 and a pair of locking members. Specifically, two locking holes are provided at the bottom end of the support column 21, and these locking holes are also screw holes, while the mounting plate 6 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes. Define two of the mounting holes as the support column mounting holes 62, and the other two mounting holes as the third base mounting holes 63.

[0082] The mounting plate 6 is located between the bottom surface of the support column 21 and the top surface of the support member 11. The two support column mounting holes 62 of the mounting plate 6 are respectively aligned with the two locking holes at the bottom end of the support column 21. By matching the bolts of the two locking members with the support column mounting holes 62 and the locking holes, the mounting plate 6 can be fixed to the bottom end of the support column 21.

[0083] The third base mounting holes 63 of the mounting plate 6 are aligned with the locking channels 101 on the top surface of the support member 11. A T-shaped nut is installed in the locking channel 101, and the bolt of the locking member can pass through the mounting hole of the support member 11 and be fixed to the T-shaped nut in the locking channel 101, so that the mounting plate 6 can be fixed to the top surface of the support member 11.

[0084] As a preferred solution, a groove 61 is provided on the top surface of the mounting plate 6, and the two support column mounting holes 62 are provided on the bottom wall of the groove 61.

[0085] The bottom end of the support column 21 is located within the groove 61, and the two locking holes of the support column 21 are aligned with the two support column mounting holes 62 on the bottom wall of the groove 61. It can be fixed to the groove 61 by using a locking member. This groove 61 can increase the stability of the support column 21 and prevent it from tilting.

[0086] As a preferred solution, the shape of the groove 61 matches the bottom end of the support column 21, and the groove 61 is snap-fitted with the bottom end of the support column 21, facilitating the positioning and alignment of the support column mounting hole 62 and the locking hole of the support column 21.

[0087] The mounting plate 6 can be installed at any position of the support member 11 according to requirements.

[0088] The support column 21 is a columnar shape extending in the vertical direction, and two locking channels 101 are respectively provided on the outer side and the inner side of the support column 21, and locking channels 101 are also respectively provided on the front side and the rear side. The number of locking channels 101 on multiple sides of the support column 21 can be set as needed, and the number and size of the locking channels 101 are not strictly limited. The locking channels 101 of the support column 21 are similar to those of the support member 11. Profile materials of the same specification or different specifications can be used. Of course, the support column 21 is preferably Figure 11 and Figure 12 the profile 10 as shown, facilitating the installation of wiring.

[0089] In addition, in order to fix the support column 21, side fixing plates 7 are also installed on the outer sides of the two support members 11. The top end of the side fixing plate 7 is connected to the support column 21, and the bottom end is connected to the support member 11. Specifically, a plurality of through holes are also provided at the top end and the bottom end of the side fixing plate 7 respectively. T-shaped nuts are respectively installed in the locking channels 101 on the outer side of the support member 11 and in the locking channels 101 on the outer side of the support column 21. A plurality of bolts can pass through the plurality of through holes of the side fixing plate 7 and be fixedly connected to the T-shaped nuts.

[0090] The steering wheel bracket 3 and the display screen bracket 4 are respectively installed at different positions on the two support columns 21. The steering wheel bracket 3 and the display screen bracket 4 respectively include hanging plate assemblies. Each of the hanging plate assemblies respectively includes two hanging plates 8 arranged along the first direction. The two hanging plates 8 are respectively connected to the two support columns 21, facilitating the installation of the steering wheel bracket 3 and the display screen bracket 4.

[0091] Specifically, the pair of hanging plates 8 of the steering wheel bracket 3 and the pair of hanging plates 8 of the display screen bracket 4 can have the same shape or different shapes, but each hanging plate 8 has one end connected to the support column 21 and the other end is provided with a hanging hole 81 and at least two steering locking positions, and the hanging hole 81 opens towards the top surface of the hanging plate 8. At least two of the steering locking positions are arranged around the hanging hole 81.

[0092] The bottom end of the hanging hole 81 is the installation position 811, and the distances from the multiple steering locking positions to the installation position 811 are the same. In a preferred embodiment, the hanging plate 8 is provided with a steering hole 82, which is an arc-shaped hole extending around the installation position 811, and the steering hole 82 forms multiple steering locking positions.

[0093] The hanging plate 8 of the steering wheel bracket 3 is a plate-shaped one extending in the second direction, and the rear end is connected to the inner or outer side surface of the support column body 21 through locking. Multiple through holes can be provided at the rear end of the hanging plate 8. The multiple through holes can be arranged at intervals in the second direction and are connected to the support column body 21 through locking members. The position of the hanging plate 8 in the second direction can also be adjusted. The way the locking member connects the hanging plate 8 to the support column body 21 is similar to the way the connecting plate 51 is connected to the support member 11, and will not be elaborated here.

[0094] The front end of the hanging plate 8 of the steering wheel bracket 3 is provided with a hanging hole 81 and a steering hole 82, and the steering hole 82 is located in front of the hanging hole 81.

[0095] The steering wheel bracket 3 further includes a steering wheel steering member. The steering wheel steering member extends in the first direction and is located between the two hanging plates 8. Steering rods and locking holes are respectively provided at both ends of the steering wheel steering member, and the steering rods can be hung in the hanging hole 81 from the top of the hanging hole 81.

[0096] The locking hole is a screw hole and can be aligned with any position of the steering hole 82 of the hanging plate 8. By rotating the steering wheel steering member, the locking hole can be aligned with different positions of the steering hole 82, and it can be fixed by bolts to adjust the position of the steering wheel steering member.

[0097] In another embodiment, the multiple steering locking positions are circular holes arranged at intervals around the installation position 811. By rotating the steering wheel steering member, the locking hole can be aligned with any one of the steering locking positions and fixed by bolts.

[0098] The steering rod can be a rod-shaped member extending from both ends of the steering wheel steering member and is integrally formed with the steering wheel steering member. In a preferred embodiment, two locking holes are respectively provided at both ends of the steering wheel steering member. The two locking holes are respectively screw holes, and the steering rod is a bolt rotatably screwed into one of the locking holes.

[0099] As a preferred solution, the steering wheel steering member includes two steering wheel steering parts 31 and a bearing plate 32. Among them, the two steering wheel steering parts 31 are arranged at intervals in the first direction, and the steering rods and the locking holes are respectively provided at the ends of the two steering wheel steering parts 31 facing away from each other.

[0100] Optionally, the steering wheel steering part 31 extends along the first direction, and a plurality of locking channels 101 are respectively provided on the outer side surfaces. That is, the steering wheel steering part 31 is also a profile 10, and the steering rod can also be a bolt screwed into the steering wheel steering part 31. In Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the two steering wheel steering parts 31 adopt the same profile 10, and screw holes are respectively provided at both ends.

[0101] The receiving plate 32 can be selectively connected to any position of the two steering wheel steering parts 31. Specifically, as Figure 7 and Figure 10 shown, the receiving plate 32 is plate-shaped, and both ends along the first direction are respectively located at the bottoms of the two steering wheel steering parts 31. The receiving plate 32 is provided with two adjustment holes, a plurality of steering wheel mounting holes 321, and an observation hole 323. The steering wheel mounting holes 321 are used for assembling the steering wheel, and the two adjustment holes are used for connecting the steering wheel steering parts 31. Define these two adjustment holes as the second adjustment holes 322.

[0102] The two second adjustment holes 322 are respectively close to both ends of the receiving plate 32 along the first direction. A T-shaped bolt is installed in the locking channel 101 on the bottom surface of the steering wheel steering part 31, and the T-shaped bolt extends into the second adjustment hole 322. The receiving plate 32 can be fixed to the two steering wheel steering parts 31 through the bolt.

[0103] The extending direction of the two second adjustment holes 322 is greater than the width of the steering wheel steering part 31. That is to say, the receiving plate 32 can move substantially along the first direction and is fixed by a locking member. In addition, by moving the T-shaped bolt in the steering wheel along the first direction, the position of the receiving plate 32 in the first direction can also be adjusted, thereby adjusting the left and right positions of the steering wheel.

[0104] The steering wheel mounting holes 321 include long strip-shaped through holes and circular through holes extending along the first direction. The base of the steering wheel can be connected to the steering wheel mounting holes 321 through a locking member.

[0105] As a preferred solution, a plurality of steering wheel mounting holes 321 are arranged at intervals along the first direction. Together with the long strip-shaped through holes extending along the first direction, the left and right positions of the steering wheel relative to the receiving plate 32 can be further adjusted. A plurality of steering wheel mounting holes 321 can also be arranged at intervals along the second direction to more precisely adjust the front and back positions of the steering wheel.

[0106] And a plurality of long strip-shaped through holes and circular through holes can be adapted to install different steering wheels.

[0107] The observation hole 323 is located among the plurality of steering wheel mounting holes 321 and is a through hole penetrating the receiving plate 32. When the steering wheel and the receiving plate 32 are assembled, the position of the steering wheel base can be viewed through the observation hole 323.

[0108] Both of the two hanging plates 8 of the display bracket 4 are L-shaped and are respectively clamped on the outer sides of the two support columns 21, and can be selectively connected to the two support columns 21. Specifically, the hanging plate 8 of the display bracket 4 includes a first section 83 and a second section 84. Among them, the first section 83 is the bottom end of the hanging plate 8 and is provided with a plurality of through holes extending in the second direction. A T-shaped nut is provided in the locking through hole on the outer side of the support column 21. The bolt passes through different through holes and is connected to the T-shaped nut in the locking channel 101 on the outer side of the two support columns 21. Adjusting the position of the T-shaped nut can adjust the height of the hanging plate 8 in the vertical direction, and further adjust the height of the display screen. Aligning different through holes on the hanging plate 8 with the locking channels 101 on the outer sides of the support columns 21 can adjust the position of the hanging plate 8 in the second direction, and further adjust the front-back position of the display screen.

[0109] The bottom end of the second section 84 is connected to the first section 83, and the top end is provided with the above-mentioned hanging hole 81 and turning hole 82. The turning hole 82 is located below the hanging hole 81.

[0110] The display bracket 4 further includes a display turning member 41. The display turning member 41 extends along the first direction and is respectively provided with a turning rod and a locking hole at both ends. The two turning rods are respectively installed inside from the top ends of the hanging holes 81 of the two hanging plates 8. The two locking holes are aligned with any position of any one of the turning holes 82 and fixed by a locking member. The connection manner between the display turning member 41 and the two hanging plates 8 is similar to the connection manner between the steering wheel turning member and the two hanging plates 8. The difference is that in the illustrated embodiment, the display turning member 41 is made of an integral profile 10, while the steering wheel turning member is assembled by two profiles 10 and a receiving plate 32.

[0111] The display turning member 41 can also adjust its angle relative to the hanging plate 8 as needed, change the alignment position relationship between the locking hole and the turning hole 82, and then fix it with a locking member.

[0112] Similarly, the display turning member 41 is also made of profile 10 and has a locking channel 101 on its outer side. That is to say, the display turning member 41, the steering wheel turning part 31, the support member 11 of the base 1, and the support column 21 can respectively adopt profiles 10 of the same specification or profiles 10 of different specifications, but the outer sides are all provided with locking channels 101 for installing T-shaped nuts or T-shaped bolts.

[0113] Two locking holes are respectively provided at both ends of the display turning member 41, and both of the two locking holes are screw holes. The turning rod can also be a bolt that is rotationally screwed into one of the locking holes. Align the other locking hole with the turning hole 82 or the turning locking position, and fix it with a bolt.

[0114] Optionally, the display bracket 4 further includes a display mounting portion 42, which is selectively connected to any position of the display steering member 41 for mounting a display. Specifically, the display mounting portion 42 is plate-shaped and mounted on the front side of the display steering member 41. A T-nut of the locking member is also mounted in the locking channel 101 on the front side of the display steering member 41. The display mounting portion 42 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the display mounting portion 42 can be fixedly connected to the T-nut by a plurality of bolts. The display mounting portion 42 can be selectively mounted at any position of the display steering member 41 along the first direction according to actual requirements.

[0115] Two support members 11 of the base 1 of the present utility model, a plurality of adjusting rods 52 of the mounting frame 5, two support columns 21 of the adjusting frame 2, the steering wheel steering portion 31, and the display steering member 41 all adopt profiles 10 of the same specification or similar specifications. At least one component in the simulator bracket 100 adopts Figure 12 and Figure 12 the profiles 10 therein.

[0116] In Figure 11 and Figure 12 In the embodiments shown, a plurality of locking channels 101 are provided on the outer side surface of the profile 10. The locking channels 101 open towards the outside of the profile 10 and extend along the length direction of the profile 10. As a preferred solution, a wire groove 102 is formed by the inner wall of the locking channel 101, and the wire groove 102 is used to place the cables of the simulator bracket 100. When processing the profile 10, only the width or depth of the locking channel 101 needs to be increased as long as it does not affect the installation and sliding of the locking member after the cables are placed.

[0117] In Figure 11 and Figure 12 In the embodiments shown, the width of the locking channel 101 is increased, and the cables are located in the wire groove 102 in the locking channel 101, and the remaining parts are used to place the T-nuts or T-bolts of the locking members. The cables will not affect the sliding of the T-bolts or T-nuts. In addition, the profile 10 is convenient to process and does not require an additional wire groove 102, which can increase the processing efficiency of the profile 10.

[0118] To ensure the strength of the profile 10, the wall thickness of the locking channel 101 of the profile 10 can be increased to ensure its strength without affecting the external dimensions of the profile 10.

[0119] In some embodiments, only one outer side surface of the profile 10 is provided with a locking channel 101, and the inner wall of the locking channel 101 is recessed to form the wire groove 102. In some other embodiments, such as Figure 11As shown, two of the locking channels 101 are respectively provided on two opposite sides of the profile 10, and the inner walls of all the locking channels 101 or at least one of the locking channels 101 are recessed to form the wire grooves 102. In Figure 11 In the illustrated embodiment, in order to balance the internal space layout of the profile 10, the inner walls of two relatively cross - arranged locking channels 101 are provided with wire grooves 102.

[0120] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 12 shown, the cross - section of the profile 10 is rectangular and the locking channels 101 are respectively provided on four sides. Among them, two opposite sides are respectively provided with three locking channels 101, and the inner wall of each locking channel 101 or at least one of the locking channels 101 is recessed to form the wire groove 102. In Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, among the three locking channels 101 on two opposite sides of the profile 10, only one locking channel 101 is provided with a wire groove 102.

[0121] The number and position of the locking channels 101 on the outer side of each profile 10 are not strictly limited. In Figure 1 the illustrated embodiment, two locking channels 101 are respectively provided on the outer side and the inner side of the support column 21, and one locking channel 101 is respectively provided on the front and rear sides. For the two support members 11 of the base 1, three locking channels 101 are respectively provided on the inner side and the outer side along the first direction, and two locking channels 101 are respectively provided on the top surface and the bottom surface. Among the three locking channels 101 on the outer side and the inner side of the support member 11, only one locking channel 101 can have a wire groove 102 on its inner wall, or all the locking channels 101 can be provided with wire grooves 102. The wire grooves 102 of the locking channels 101 can be set according to requirements, and the profiles 10 of the wire grooves 102 can also be set according to needs.

[0122] The profiles 10 used for the two support members 11 of the base 1, the multiple adjusting rods 52 of the mounting frame 5, the two support columns 21 of the adjusting frame 2, the steering wheel turning part 31, and the display screen turning part 41 are not of the same specification, but the shapes of the locking channels 101 are similar, and the wire grooves 102 in the locking channels 101 can also be set according to needs. Of course, it should be understood that in some embodiments, among the two support members 11 of the base 1, the multiple adjusting rods 52 of the mounting frame 5, the two support columns 21 of the adjusting frame 2, the steering wheel turning part 31, and the display screen turning part 41, only the two supports of the base 1 can adopt the above - mentioned profile 10, or some of them can adopt the above - mentioned profile 10, and the other part can be replaced with other materials.

[0123] The two support members 11 of the base 1, the multiple adjusting rods 52 of the mounting bracket 5, the two support columns 21 of the adjusting frame 2, the steering wheel steering part 31, and the display screen steering part 41 are also respectively provided with adjusting scale lines to facilitate players to more precisely adjust the positional relationships of the steering wheel, the display, the seat, the footrest, etc.

[0124] It should be understood that the hanging plate 8, the connecting plate 51, the connecting plate assembly, and the mounting bracket 5 of the present invention can all be applied to other mechanical devices in other fields or household devices. For example, the hanging plate 8 can be used to mount a computer display screen or the display screen of other devices, and the connecting plate assembly can also be used in other industrial fields, not limited to the simulator bracket 100.
