Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] The terms “left,” “right,” “front,” “back,” “up,” and “down” mentioned in the following description are oriented in the viewing direction of the front view.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] In some embodiments, please refer to the appendix of the specification. Figure 1-4 , a multi-degree-of-freedom unmanned motion platform, comprising a base 10;

[0030] A three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 is mounted on the base 10 via an acceleration simulation module 20. A rotating platform 12 is rotatably mounted on the top plate of the three-degree-of-freedom platform 11. A support frame 13 is fixedly mounted on the rotating platform 12, and a variable cockpit module 30 is mounted on the support frame 13.

[0031] The three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 is a common technical means in the field. The three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 is composed of a top plate, a bottom plate, and three servo push rods arranged between the top plate and the bottom plate. The three servo push rods cooperate to control the top plate's three axial movements: up and down, tilt along the X axis, and tilt along the Y axis. A servo motor is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the top plate of the three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 to drive the rotating platform 12 to rotate. The three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 and the rotating platform 12 cooperate to form a four-degree-of-freedom motion platform, which can achieve flexible control of the variable cabin module 30 at a low cost.

[0032] The variable cockpit module 30 includes a seat 31, a control box 32 and a simulated control frame 33. The seat 31 and the control box 32 are fixedly mounted on the support frame 13, and the control box 32 is located on the armrest side of the seat 31; the control box 32 is provided with a plurality of control buttons and control switches for controlling the operation of various components; the simulated control frame 33 is installed on the support frame 13 and is located opposite the seat 31; the simulated control frame 33 is movably provided on the support frame 13, and the simulated control frame 33 is located directly opposite the seat 31, a steering wheel is provided on the top of the simulated control frame 33, and a brake pedal and an accelerator pedal are provided on the bottom of the simulated control frame 33, and the steering wheel, brake pedal and accelerator pedal are all electrically connected to the central control to return direct control data to the user.

[0033] In the present invention, the user sits on the seat 31 and puts on VR glasses. After selecting the test mode through the control box 32, the four-freedom motion platform is started. The four-freedom motion platform can simulate the vehicle's advance, retreat, steering, and bumps when the AI drives the vehicle, and with the cooperation of the VR glasses, the user can get an immersive experience. While the four-freedom motion platform is running, the acceleration simulation module 20 will cooperate with the four-freedom motion platform to simulate the vehicle start and stop conditions under different vehicle conditions, and obtain real unmanned vehicle start and stop data as much as possible, so that passengers can get a real feeling; if you want to simulate the situation of no one driving in the driving seat, you can raise the simulation control frame 33. The user can directly intervene in the unmanned driving control through the steering wheel, brake pedal and accelerator pedal, simulate the vehicle driving conditions of the unmanned vehicle when human interference occurs, and obtain more comprehensive unmanned vehicle condition data. After the simulation control frame 33 is stored under the support frame 13, the passenger's activity space is increased, and the riding experience as a passenger is restored.

[0034] The lower end of the simulated control frame 33 is hinged to the support frame 13 through a rotating shaft, the lower end of the shell of the rotating push cylinder 34 is hinged to the rotating platform 12 through a hinge seat, and the output end of the rotating push cylinder 34 is hinged to the simulated control frame 33 through a hinge seat; the rotation of the simulated control frame 33 can be controlled by the extension and contraction of the piston of the rotating push cylinder 34; when the piston of the rotating push cylinder 34 is in a retracted state, the hinged end of the simulated control frame 33 is lower than the top surface of the support frame 13, so as to avoid occupying the passenger space of the user.

[0035] The acceleration simulation module 20 includes a moving component and a stopping component. The three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 is mounted on the base 10 through the moving component. The stopping component is mounted on one side of the base 10 to block the three-degree-of-freedom platform 11.

[0036] The moving assembly includes a linear slide 21 and a linear push rod 22. The linear slide 21 is fixedly mounted on the base 10. The bottom plate of the three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 is connected to the linear slide 21 through a slider. The linear push rod 22 is fixedly connected to the base 10, and the output end of the linear push rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the three-degree-of-freedom platform 11.

[0037] The stopping assembly includes a buffer 23 and a baffle 24 , the baffle 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 , and multiple buffers 23 are fixedly connected to the base 10 , and the impacted heads of the buffers 23 are aligned with the baffle 24 ;

[0038] In the present invention, the linear push rod 22 drives the three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 to move linearly under the limiting action of the linear slide rail 21 until the baffle 24 collides with the impacted head of the buffer 23, causing the three-degree-of-freedom platform 11 to stop moving, thereby simulating the acceleration experienced by passengers when the vehicle starts and stops, and with the cooperation of the four-degree-of-freedom motion platform, it simulates the start-stop effects under various vehicle conditions such as vehicle reversing, bumps and tilts, so that users on the linear slide rail 21 can get as realistic unmanned driving experience as possible, and the unmanned driving program provides accurate data.

[0039] The linear push rod 22 adopts an electric push rod or a cylinder with adjustable piston extension and retraction speed, which can simulate different degrees of vehicle starting acceleration. The buffer 23 adopts an adjustable buffer, which can simulate different degrees of vehicle stopping acceleration by adjusting the buffering absorption capacity of the piston rod.

[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
