One side of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the second magnet 12, and the other side of the spring 13 is fixedly mounted on the pressure sensor 14, and the pressure sensor 14 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the wristband 8.

[0029] In this embodiment, a motor 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the gantry 3, and a first electric slide rail 4 is provided below the motor 3. The slider corresponding to the first electric slide rail 4 can move in the front and rear directions. The slider corresponding to the first electric slide rail 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3, and the crossbeam 5 is fixedly installed on the first electric slide rail 4. The outer sides of the second electric slide rail 6 are respectively provided with third electric slide rails 15 fixedly installed on the crossbeam 5. The slider corresponding to the third electric slide rail 15 can move vertically. Hall rockers 16 are respectively fixedly installed on the sliders of the third electric slide rail 15, and electric telescopic rods 17 are respectively fixedly installed on the rocker arms of the Hall rockers 16, and tension sensors 18 are respectively fixedly installed on the electric telescopic rods 17. One end of an elastic rope 19 is respectively fixedly connected to the tension sensor 18, and a hook 20 is respectively fixedly installed on the other end of the elastic rope 19. A waist guard 21 is provided between the hooks 20, and several pull rings 22 are fixedly installed on the periphery of the waist guard 21.

[0030] In this embodiment, a Velcro sub-strip is provided on one side of the waist protector 21, and a Velcro main strip is provided on the other side of the waist protector 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, a rubber ring 23 is fixedly installed inside the disc 9 .

[0032] In this embodiment, a controller 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the gantry 2. Specifically, the model of the controller 23 is Siemens PLC-200.

At this time, the upper motor 3 is controlled to rotate, and the following device can follow the user to turn around until the force applied to the tension sensor 18 by the elastic rope 19 returns to its initial size, and the rotation of the motor 3 can be stopped; when the Hall rocker 16 is rotated in the opposite horizontal direction by the elastic rope 19, it indicates that the user is moving forward and backward. According to the swing direction of the Hall rocker 16, the first electric slide 4 is controlled to start, and the device can move forward and backward with the user; when the Hall rocker 16 is rotated in the vertical direction, it indicates that the user is performing actions such as squatting, jumping, etc., and the corresponding third electric slide 15 is controlled to start, and the device can move up and down with the user. When the user falls, the elastic rope 19 and the noose on the electric winch 7 can pull the user up. Through this device, the safety of the user during the VR experience can be improved, and the discomfort caused to the user by the use of safety measures can be reduced, thereby improving the user's experience.
