Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of space station experience technology, and in particular to a device for R-VR-R space station experience. Background Technology
[0002] A space station is a manned spacecraft that operates in a low Earth orbit for extended periods, allowing astronauts to visit, work, and live there. Currently, only a very small number of people have the opportunity to enter a space station and experience its living and working environment, while most people still have no chance to visit one.
[0003] In recent years, with the development of science and technology and the increasing attention people pay to aerospace technology, some people in China have attempted to build simulated space stations to allow space enthusiasts to experience the living and working environment of a space station. The inventors and their team of this application have also been committed to the research and development of space station experiences since 2017. Initially, wear a VR headset that can display images of space. Users (or those wearing VR glasses) stand in an indoor theme park and experience a virtual space scene, then, based on the above... Further research and development will involve suspending participants via steel wire ropes that connect floating simulation components in a suspension mechanism, allowing participants to experience the sensation of being in space. The floating, lifting, and pitching movements within the empty station are combined with a traveling device, which uses a traveling trolley to drive the floating simulation. Using real components, participants can experience simulated movements inside the space station and floating in space, followed by interaction with a real space station module. The combination of touchable realistic objects allows participants to experience both the simulated motions of floating in space and the feeling of being in a virtual world. Activities within the space station allow participants to transition from a real-world scenario (simulated space station) to wearing a VR headset (virtual space station) and then removing it. The experience of returning to a real-world scenario (simulated space station) with a VR headset involves a transition from reality to virtual reality and back to reality (R-VR-R). Space station experience.
[0004] However, all the mechanical devices used by the applicant in the aforementioned research and development process were commercially available products, and their performance was not satisfactory. It is good, but there are safety hazards. For example, a circular track that only supports the moving vehicles is prone to signal interference in the cables providing power and communication signals to each vehicle, potentially causing safety hazards. Furthermore, the close proximity of the moving vehicles prevents the creation of truly independent play areas within the experience zone, resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for experiencing an R-VR-R space station. In its mechanical structure, multiple connecting trolleys separate relatively independent areas between adjacent space floating simulation devices, which facilitates management and enhances the experience for users. The walking track provides safety support and guidance for the trolleys, and the signal transmission track transmits power and external control signals to the electric trolleys, which then transmit the signals to the floating simulation moving trolleys. The signals are interference-free, making the experience safer for users.

[0086] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of an R-VR-R space station experience facility equipped with the device of this invention. R-VR-R refers to virtual reality and then back to reality. The space station experience facility is used to generate a space station environment experience area. Figure 2 As shown, this is for the experiencer in Figure 1 The diagram shows a schematic of the space station experience facility. As can be seen, the R-VR-R space station experience facility equipped with this invention includes an indoor activity area 2 for experiencing activities inside the space station module and an outdoor activity area 1 for experiencing activities outside the space station module. The indoor activity area 2 and the outdoor activity area 1 are connected end-to-end, forming a circular space station experience area. The indoor activity area 2 has the same decorations as the actual space station module, replicating the real space station 1:1, giving users the feeling of entering a real space station.
[0087] The circular walking track 3 of this invention is fixed to the top of the cabin of the circular space station experience area. Part of the circular walking track 3 is located in the activity area 2 inside the cabin, and another part is located in the activity area 1 outside the cabin. A signal transmission track 3a is arranged parallel to the inner ring of the circular walking track, and a prop function area 3b is set below the center of the signal transmission track. Multiple space floating simulation devices 4, multiple electric trolleys 13, and multiple connecting trolleys 14 are installed on the circular walking track 3. The space floating simulation device includes a floating simulation walking trolley 400 and a suspension mechanism 500 installed below the floating simulation walking trolley for suspending the experiencer. The suspension mechanism 500 can be a single-person suspension mechanism for suspending only one experiencer, or a double-person suspension mechanism for suspending two experiencers at the same time. An interactive mechanism (not shown in the figure) is set in the prop function area to provide an environment for experiencers in the space floating simulation environment and the virtual space station environment to touch the simulated space station objects.
[0088] In addition, the space station experience facility also includes a data acquisition area 6 for collecting images of participants, a spacesuit dressing area 5 for participants to put on spacesuits, and a spacesuit removal area 8 for participants to remove their spacesuits. The spacesuit dressing area 5 is located between the exit of the data acquisition area 6 and the entrance of the intravehicular activity area 2, and the spacesuit removal area 8 is located between the exit of the intravehicular activity area 2 and the exit of the space station experience facility.
[0089] Space station participants enter the data acquisition area 6 through the space station entrance 7 gate (not shown in the diagram). Data acquisition equipment (not shown in the diagram) in area 6 collects data from the participants, such as 3D facial images, height, and weight. After data collection, participants enter the spacesuit dressing area 5 to don space experience equipment, such as a harness, in preparation for entering the annular space station experience area. Participants enter the annular space station experience area through the entrance of the intravehicular activity area 2 and use the floating simulation trolley 400 and suspension mechanism 500 to perform space floating simulation movements in the intravehicular activity area 2 and extravehicular activity area 1, thus entering the space floating simulation environment. After the experience, participants exit through the intravehicular activity area 2 into the spacesuit removal area 8.
[0090] In addition, see Figure 14The space station experience facilities also include: a VR headset 10 worn by the user to display virtual reality scenes of activities inside and outside the space station; and a central control room 11 for controlling the floating simulation vehicle and suspension mechanism to perform space floating simulation actions and controlling the VR headset to display virtual reality scenes of the space station. After the user enters the activity area 2 inside the space station and puts on the VR headset, the floating simulation vehicle and suspension mechanism perform space floating simulation actions corresponding to the virtual reality scenes of the space station displayed by the VR headset, immersing the user in the virtual reality environment and the space floating simulation environment of the space station. The floating simulation vehicle, moving along the circular walking track 3, enters the activity area 2 inside the space station, moves to the activity area 1 outside the space station, and then returns to the activity area 2 inside the space station, ensuring that the user remains immersed in the real and virtual reality space station environment throughout the experience of putting on the VR headset inside the space station and removing it.
[0091] After participant 9 enters the activity area 2 inside the cabin and is suspended by the suspension mechanism 500, the VR headset worn on the participant's head, along with the floating simulation vehicle and the suspension mechanism, synchronously executes virtual reality scenes of the space station and simulates space floating movements. Specifically, the VR headset worn on participant 9 displays virtual reality scenes of activities inside and outside the space station, immersing the participant in the virtual reality environment of the space station; the floating simulation vehicle and the suspension mechanism simultaneously execute various simulated space floating movements corresponding to the virtual reality scenes of the space station displayed by the VR headset, allowing participant 9 to enter the simulated space floating environment while simultaneously entering the virtual reality environment of the space station.
[0092] See Figure 1 and Figure 26 The cabin activity area 2 is equipped with a camera 12. Correspondingly, the central control room 11 (the installation position of the central control room can be determined according to the actual situation) is equipped with a monitor 114 that receives video images output by the camera. It is used to determine whether the experiencer in the cabin is wearing a VR headset based on the images captured by the camera. When it is determined that all experiencers in the cabin are wearing VR headsets, the VR headset is controlled to display the virtual reality scene of the space station.
[0093] The central control room of this invention includes a processor 113 and a VR video player 112. Correspondingly, the central control room controls the VR headset to display a virtual reality scene of the space station, including: the VR video player in the central control room transmits VR video to the VR headset; the VR video includes key markers corresponding to the start and end of the space station activity scene. A key marker detection module in the processor detects key markers in the VR video in real time. Based on the detected key markers, the processor sends corresponding control commands to the floating simulation trolley and suspension mechanism, causing the floating simulation trolley and suspension mechanism to perform space floating simulation actions corresponding to the virtual reality activity scene of the space station displayed on the VR headset. To ensure the user's space station experience, the central control room also includes a transmission delay module 111, used to send VR data to the VR glasses or headset display only after sending the corresponding control commands to the floating simulation trolley and suspension mechanism. The floating simulation trolley and suspension mechanism each have a controller. The controller receives control commands from the processor in the central control room and controls the floating simulation trolley and suspension mechanism to perform space floating simulation actions according to the control commands.
[0094] The simulated space station experience facility equipped with this invention is set up on land. After the participant (9) enters the activity area 2 inside the cabin, they can see decorations similar to those inside a real space station, experiencing the feeling of entering a real space station. The participant (9) wears a VR headset in the activity area 2. Then, a camera set up in the activity area 2 transmits the participant's image to a monitor in the central control room to determine whether the participant is securely connected to the rope and wearing the VR headset. Once it is confirmed that all participants are secured and wearing VR headsets, the central control room transmits VR video to the VR headsets, controls the VR headsets to display the virtual reality scene of the space station, and simultaneously issues corresponding control commands to the floating simulation trolley and suspension mechanism, causing the floating simulation trolley and suspension mechanism to perform space floating simulation actions corresponding to the virtual reality activity scene of the space station displayed by the VR headset. At this time, the participant is immersed in the virtual reality scene of the activity area 2 inside the cabin and the activity area 1 outside the cabin. The floating simulation vehicle moves from the indoor activity area to the outdoor activity area and back to the indoor activity area, immersing the user in the space station environment of both reality and virtual reality throughout the experience of wearing VR headsets inside the space station and removing them.
[0095] To enable users to simultaneously enter the virtual reality environment of the space station and the floating simulation environment of the space station, safely walk along a preset route, and perform various simulated actions on the space station, this invention provides an exit device for the aforementioned R-VR-R space station experience facility, such as... Figures 1-3eAs shown, the device of this utility model includes: a track device installed in the space station environment experience area and having a circular walking track; multiple space floating simulation devices 4 installed on the walking track and moving along the walking track for suspending the experiencer and allowing the experiencer to experience space floating simulation movements in the space station environment experience area; multiple connecting trolleys installed on the walking track and connected to the multiple space floating simulation devices for separating relatively independent areas between adjacent space floating simulation devices; and multiple electrical trolleys installed on the walking track and spaced apart from the multiple space floating simulation devices for providing power support to the floating simulation moving trolleys; wherein, the space floating simulation device includes a rotating connecting component for allowing the suspended experiencer to experience the rotational movement of the space station.
[0096] The track device of this utility model is installed on the top of the cabin in the space station environment experience area, including: a support frame installed in the space station environment experience area; an annular walking track 3 with an I-shaped cross-section installed on the support frame; and an annular signal transmission track 3a installed on the support frame, located inside the inner ring of the walking track and parallel to it.
[0097] like Figure 3-Figure 3e As shown, this utility model installs multiple floating simulation moving trolleys 400, multiple electrical trolleys 13, and multiple connecting trolleys 14 on a walking track. The floating simulation moving trolleys are powered trolleys, while the electrical trolleys and connecting trolleys are unpowered trolleys. These trolleys are connected to each other through a connecting mechanism. The signal transmission track 3a contacts the sliding contact line connector 22 carried on the electrical trolley 13 to transmit power and communication signals, which are transmitted to the floating simulation moving trolleys through the electrical control box of the electrical trolleys. This enables the floating simulation moving trolleys to achieve self-drive. Under the drive of each floating simulation moving trolley, the electrical trolleys and connecting trolleys move together along the walking track. Thus, the experiencer suspended on the suspension mechanism installed below the floating simulation moving trolley can realize space floating simulation actions in the real and virtual reality space station environment under the drive of the floating simulation moving trolley and the suspension mechanism.
[0098] The support frame of this utility model includes: a column structure vertically installed in the space station environment experience area; and a crossbeam structure perpendicularly arranged to the column structure and fixedly connected to the top of the column structure in the middle. The two ends of the crossbeam structure can extend out from either side of the column structure, or can be fixedly connected to either side of the column structure.
[0099] When the support frame adopts the first type, where both ends of the beam structure extend outwards from the sides of the column structure, such as Figure 4As shown in Figure 7, the column structure includes multiple sets of track hangers arranged in a row. Each set of track hangers includes at least two track hangers 301 arranged in parallel with a preset interval. The beam structure includes multiple sets of track hanging beams. Each set of track hanging beams includes at least two track hanging beams 314 arranged in parallel with a preset interval. The middle part of each track hanging beam in each set of track hanging beams is fixedly connected to the top of each track hanger in the corresponding set of track hangers.
[0100] In application, the number of track hangers and track suspension beams can be determined according to actual needs, such as... Figures 4-5b As shown, the column structure of this utility model includes six sets of track hangers, each set of track hangers comprising two track hangers arranged side-by-side with a small interval. The crossbeam structure also includes six sets of track suspension beams, each set of track suspension beams comprising two track suspension beams. The two track suspension beams are arranged parallel to each other and have the same interval as the two track hangers they are connected to. During assembly, the middle of one set of track suspension beams is connected to one set of track hangers, so that both ends of the track suspension beams extend beyond the corresponding track hangers, facilitating the installation of the travel track and signal transmission track.
[0101] Because the ceiling of the space station's environmental experience area is high above the ground, each track gantry consists of at least two gantry units (this invention uses two gantry units connected vertically). During assembly, the two gantry units are connected together using a detachable connection structure, for example, a... Figure 5b The connection structure of the hanger connecting plate and bolt assembly shown fixes the mating ends of the two hanger units together.
[0102] Because the crossbeam structure spans both the interior and exterior of the space station's experience area, and its cantilevered ends are used to fix the signal transmission track of the walking track, each track suspension beam is formed by at least two suspension beam units connected end-to-end to increase its length and support strength. Figure 6c As shown, the two hanging beam units are fixedly connected together by the connecting plate 310 and bolts.
[0103] The column structure and the beam structure are fixed together by bolts to form a support frame, which makes disassembly and transportation convenient. Furthermore, the number and size of the track hangers and track hanger beams can be adapted to the size and load-bearing capacity of the space station environment experience area, making it more flexible and highly replicable.
[0104] Both the circular walking track and the circular signal transmission track of this utility model are installed on the track suspension beam, with the walking track located at the cantilever end of the track suspension beam (e.g., Figure 6b As shown), the signal transmission track is located inside the walking track (see [reference]). Figures 6c-6f ).
[0105] When the support frame adopts a second structure where both ends of a beam structure are fixedly connected to both sides of a column structure, the column structure includes multiple sets of track hangers arranged in two rows. Each set of track hangers includes at least two pairs of track hangers arranged in parallel with a preset interval (see reference). Figure 1 The crossbeam structure includes multiple sets of track-suspended beams. Each set of track-suspended beams includes at least two track-suspended beams arranged in parallel with a preset interval. The two ends of each track-suspended beam in each set are fixedly connected to the top of a pair of track hangers in the corresponding set of track hangers. During assembly, the travel track is installed at the end of the track-suspended beams, and the signal transmission track is installed on the track-suspended beams and located inside the travel track.
[0106] like Figure 4 , Figure 5a As shown, the traveling track includes: a pair of arc-shaped tracks symmetrically arranged at both ends of the support frame along its length; a straight track for fixing the opposite ends of the pair of arc-shaped tracks together; and a connecting structure for connecting the mating ends of adjacent tracks together.
[0107] Among them, such as Figure 7a , Figure 7b As shown, each arc-shaped track of this invention includes two nearly quarter-arc arc-shaped track units 302. The cross-section of each arc-shaped track unit is I-shaped, and the two arc-shaped track units are spliced together to form a nearly semi-circular arc-shaped track. The mating ends of the two arc-shaped track units are flush. During mating, connecting plates are placed on the upper and lower surfaces of the mating ends of the two arc-shaped track units, and then the connecting plates and the two arc-shaped track units are fixed together with bolts. The other end of the arc-shaped track unit has a beveled end face to facilitate connection with adjacent straight tracks.
[0108] like Figure 5a As shown, the linear track used to fix the opposite ends of a pair of curved tracks together includes multiple linear track units, namely linear track units 303, 304, 305, 306, and 307. Each linear track unit is identical in structure except for its length; all have an I-shaped cross-section that matches the curved track unit. The linear track units employ the following... Figure 7c The structure shown has beveled end faces at both ends, which are the same as those of the curved track unit. During assembly, the beveled end faces of the curved track unit align with the beveled end faces of the linear track unit 303 and are connected together through a connecting structure. The beveled end faces of the remaining linear track units are also aligned in sequence and connected together through a connecting structure, thus forming a circular running track.
[0109] Among them, such as Figure 6aAs shown, the connection structure includes: an upper rail docking connection plate 308 for being placed above the docking ends of adjacent rails; a lower rail docking connection plate 309 for being placed below the docking ends of adjacent rails; and a bolt assembly for fixing the upper rail docking connection plate, the docking ends of an adjacent pair of rails, and the lower rail docking connection plate together.
[0110] When connecting adjacent track units of this utility model, such as Figure 7d As shown, the units of the curved track and the straight track are joined by beveled end faces to increase the contact area between the end faces, thereby increasing the connection strength.
[0111] During assembly, the lower wing plate of the travel track is used to contact the travel mechanism of the floating simulation traveling trolley, causing the rollers of the travel mechanism to roll along the lower wing plate, while the signal transmission track has side-opening grooves (such as...) for contacting the sliding contact line joint of the electrical trolley. Figure 3c , Figures 6d-6f (As shown).
[0112] Among them, the signal transmission track that provides power and communication signals to the floating simulation moving vehicle via an electric trolley can be adopted as follows: Figure 6e The first structure shown includes: an annular bracket 311 arranged parallel to the travel track; a sliding contact line track 312 installed inside the annular bracket, having a side-opening groove for contacting and electrically connecting with a sliding contact line connector 22 on the electric trolley; correspondingly, the sliding contact line connector 22 is mounted on the frame of the electric trolley via a contactor bracket 21 (e.g., Figure 3d (As shown). The structure for mounting the sliding contact line joint on the frame and its compatibility with the sliding contact line track can adopt existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0113] Furthermore, the signal transmission track can also adopt, for example... Figure 6d The second structure shown is in Figure 6e Based on this, a microwave duct 313 is installed inside the annular support, and the microwave duct 313 is located above the sliding contact line track. Correspondingly, a microwave duct receiver (not shown in the figure) for use with the microwave duct can also be installed on the frame of the electric trolley. During assembly, the microwave duct receiver is located above the sliding contact line joint 22. The structure for installing the microwave duct receiver on the frame and its compatibility with the microwave duct can adopt existing technology structures, which will not be described in detail here.
[0114] This invention employs microwave pipelines to transmit control signals, avoiding interference and ensuring safer signal transmission, thus making the entire experiential facility safer and more reliable in operation. Through the signal transmission track and contact line connectors, the electric trolley can connect to the electrical control box via a sliding contact line connector. The power and control signals from the control box are then transmitted via cables to the electrical control components of the floating simulated moving trolley, enabling it to operate.
[0115] This invention features a circular walking track 3 and a signal transmission track 3a fixed on the top of the cabin in the circular space station experience area. The electric trolley contacts the signal transmission track 3a via a sliding contact line connector, providing power to the floating simulation trolley and enabling external communication. This allows the floating simulation trolley, the electric trolley, and the connecting trolley 14, which are connected as one unit, to move synchronously along the circular walking track under the drive of the floating simulation trolley.
[0116] Among them, such as Figures 8-11c The figures show different structural schematics of a floating simulation walking vehicle that travels along a walking track. As can be seen from the figures, the floating simulation walking vehicle of this utility model includes: a frame that is set on the walking track and can travel along the walking track to allow the user to experience floating walking in space in the space station environment experience area, with a suspension mechanism connected below it to suspend the user through the steel wire rope of the suspension mechanism; a drive motor 401 installed on one side of the frame; and an active walking mechanism installed on the frame and located above the lower wing plate of the walking track for transmission connection with the output shaft of the drive motor to allow the walking vehicle to travel along the walking track.
[0117] Specifically, the frame of the floating simulation traveling vehicle includes parallel inner side plates 402 and outer side plates 405, and a connecting beam 403 that fixes the front and rear ends of the two frames together. The inner and outer side plates and the connecting beam constitute a frame that supports other components of the traveling device and can travel along the traveling track under the drive of a motor. In addition, a connecting plate 417 is provided in the middle of the frame, with its two ends fixedly connected to the inner and outer side plates respectively, and the suspension mechanism 500 is mounted on this connecting plate. In the design, the length extension direction of the inner and outer side plates is parallel to the length extension direction of the traveling track.
[0118] In this invention, a drive motor 401 is fixedly installed on the outside of the inner side plate 402. The drive motor transmits its power to an active walking mechanism installed on the frame and located above the lower wing plate of the walking track, and a driven walking device located below the lower wing plate of the walking track, which cooperates with the active roller to make the floating simulation walking car walk along the walking track.
[0119] The active walking mechanism can adopt the following structure, including: located at one end of the frame (e.g. Figure 8 The first active travel mechanism (shown at the front end) is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor and has a pair of first active rollers for traveling along the upper surface of the lower wing plate of the travel track; the second active travel mechanism (located at the other end of the frame) is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor and has a pair of second active rollers for traveling along the upper surface of the lower wing plate of the travel track.
[0120] Specifically, the first active walking mechanism of this utility model includes: an active shaft 417 with its left and right ends rotatably connected to the inner and outer side plates of the frame, respectively, and the left end of the active shaft being driven by the output shaft of the drive motor; a pair of first active sprockets 408 installed on the left and right sides of the active shaft; a pair of first passive sprockets 406 that are driven by the pair of active sprockets through a first chain 407, and the pair of passive sprockets are located in front of and above the pair of first active sprockets; and a pair of first active rollers 404 that are coaxial with the pair of first passive sprockets and can roll along the upper surface of the lower wing plate of the walking track under their drive, wherein the pair of first active rollers are located between the inner and outer side plates, and the pair of first passive sprockets are located on the outer side of the inner and outer side plates, respectively.
[0121] In the design, the first active walking mechanism also includes a pair of cantilever shafts 418 for fixing a pair of first passive sprockets thereon. One cantilever shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner side plate, with its left and right ends extending out of the inner side plate respectively. The other cantilever shaft is rotatably mounted on the outer side plate, with its left and right ends extending out of the outer side plate respectively (e.g., Figure 8 (As shown). A passive sprocket is fixedly installed at one end of each cantilever shaft that extends outward from the corresponding side plate, and a first active roller is rotatably installed at the other end that extends outward from the corresponding side plate. There is a certain gap between the opposite ends of the two cantilever shafts, so that the web of the traveling track can be installed between the gaps of the two cantilever shafts.
[0122] Thus, when the drive shaft rotates under the action of the drive motor, it drives a pair of first drive sprockets 408 on the drive shaft to rotate, and transmits the power to a pair of first driven sprockets through the first chain. When the pair of first driven sprockets rotate, they drive a pair of first drive rollers coaxial with them to rotate. Since the pair of first drive rollers are installed above the lower wing plate of the travel track, when the first drive rollers rotate, they can roll along the upper surface of the lower wing plate, allowing the traveling trolley to travel along the travel track.
[0123] like Figures 8-11c As shown, the active walking mechanism of this utility model also includes a second active walking mechanism, which includes: a pair of second active sprockets 413 installed on both sides of the active shaft and located between a pair of first active sprockets, each second active sprocket being installed on the portion between the first active sprocket of the active shaft and the outer side of the corresponding side plate; a pair of second passive sprockets 410 respectively connected to the pair of second active sprockets via a second chain 409, the pair of second passive sprockets being located above and behind the pair of second active sprockets; and a pair of second active rollers 411 coaxial with the pair of second passive sprockets and capable of rolling along the upper surface of the lower wing plate of the walking track under their drive, wherein the pair of second active rollers are located between the inner side plate and the outer side plate, and the pair of second passive sprockets are located on the outer side of the inner side plate and the outer side plate, respectively.
[0124] In the design, the second active walking mechanism also includes a pair of cantilever shafts 418 for fixing a pair of second passive sprockets thereon. One cantilever shaft is rotatably mounted on the inner side plate, with its left and right ends extending out of the inner side plate respectively. The other cantilever shaft is rotatably mounted on the outer side plate, with its left and right ends extending out of the outer side plate respectively (e.g., Figure 8 (As shown). Each cantilever shaft has a second passive sprocket fixedly installed at one end extending outward from the corresponding side plate, and a second active roller rotatably installed at the other end extending inward from the corresponding side plate. There is a certain gap between the opposite ends of the two cantilever shafts, so that the web of the traveling track can be installed between the gaps of the two cantilever shafts.
[0125] In this way, when the drive shaft rotates under the action of the drive motor, it drives a pair of first drive sprockets 408 on the drive shaft to rotate, and at the same time drives a pair of second drive sprockets 413 to rotate. When the pair of second drive sprockets 413 rotate, they transmit power to a pair of second driven sprockets through the second chain. When the pair of second driven sprockets rotate, they drive a pair of second drive rollers coaxial with them to rotate. Similarly, the pair of second drive rollers are installed above the lower wing plate of the travel track. When the second drive rollers rotate, they can roll along the upper surface of the lower wing plate, thus cooperating with the first drive rollers to enable the trolley to travel along the travel track.
[0126] By installing two pairs of active rollers at the front and rear positions on both sides of the web of the traveling track, the traveling trolley can move more smoothly along the traveling track and provide more stable support.
[0127] To further enhance the stability of the floating simulation traveling trolley along the travel track and prevent it from slipping off or overturning, the trolley also includes a driven traveling device mounted on the frame and located below the lower wing plate of the travel track. This device engages with the active rollers to enable the floating simulation traveling trolley to travel along the travel track. The driven traveling device includes a pair of first driven rollers 415 mounted at one end of the frame (e.g., the front end) and located below the lower wing plate of the travel track. These rollers engage with a pair of first active rollers to enable the floating simulation traveling trolley to travel along the travel track. (See [link to original text]) Figure 11a , Figure 11b ); A pair of second driven rollers 416 (e.g., mounted on the other end of the frame (e.g., the rear end) and located below the lower wing plate of the travel track, for cooperating with a pair of second active rollers to enable the floating simulation traveling vehicle to move along the travel track. Figure 11c (As shown).
[0128] During the design phase, a pivot is installed at each of the front and rear ends of the frame; that is, the two ends of the pivot are fixedly mounted on the inner and outer side plates, respectively (e.g., ...). Figure 11cThe rotating shaft is located below the lower wing plate of the travel track. A driven roller is installed on both sides of each rotating shaft, and the upper part of the four driven rollers contacts the lower surface of the lower wing plate of the travel track. When the frame moves along the travel track under the drive of the active travel mechanism, the four driven rollers and the four corresponding active rollers clamp the lower and upper surfaces of the lower wing plate of the travel track, respectively, and generate rolling friction that causes the trolley to move along the travel track.
[0129] Furthermore, in order to prevent the trolley from swaying on the track when it travels along the track, the floating simulation trolley of this invention also includes multiple sets of guide wheels 412 installed on the inner wall of the inner side plate and the inner wall of the outer side plate, with corresponding positions to roll along the two side walls of the web plate of the track.
[0130] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, this utility model has a set of guide wheels installed at the front and rear ends of the frame. Both sets of guide wheels are located above the lower wing plate of the travel track. Each set of guide wheels includes two guide wheels. One guide wheel is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner side plate through a guide wheel seat, and the other guide wheel is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer side plate through a guide wheel seat. The axles of both guide wheels extend vertically, that is, perpendicular to the axles of the driving roller and the driven roller. There is a certain gap between the outer surfaces of the two guide wheels. This gap is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the web plate of the travel track, so that the two guide wheels can contact the two side walls of the web plate respectively and roll along the side walls.
[0131] Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned components, this utility model also includes various parts required to connect the above-mentioned components together, such as bolts, which will not be described in detail here.
[0132] This utility model's floating simulation trolley moves on the walking track 3 under the control of the central control room. It can drive the experiencer, who is pulled by the suspension mechanism 500 connected to it, to perform space floating walking actions. In conjunction with the suspension mechanism 500 under the control of the central control room, the experiencer can be pulled by the steel wire rope of the suspension mechanism 500 to perform various space floating simulation actions, such as floating motion, lifting motion, pitching motion, etc., so as to make the experiencer's space station experience more perfect.
[0133] This utility model's floating simulation traveling trolley is driven by a single drive motor. Four active rollers located above the lower wing plate of the traveling track and four driven rollers located below the lower wing plate work together to clamp the lower wing plate. Four guide wheels from two sets of guide wheels, located on either side of the web of the traveling track, also work together to clamp the web of the traveling track. The structure is compact, occupies little space, and has sufficient friction with the traveling track to prevent slippage and detachment. This effectively ensures the stability of the traveling device as it travels along the track, making it safer and more reliable, and greatly reducing the occurrence of accidents.
[0134] In addition to the floating simulation vehicle that enables users to experience floating simulation movements in a virtual reality space station environment, this utility model also includes... Figures 3-4 As shown, it also includes an electric trolley 13 and a connecting trolley 14 for providing power to the floating simulation moving trolley. Both trolleys are unpowered. The electric trolley includes a trolley body and an electrical control box mounted on the trolley body, and the trolley body has the same structure as the connecting trolley.
[0135] like Figure 12-14 The figures show different structural schematic diagrams of the connecting trolley of this utility model. As can be seen from the figures, the connecting trolley includes: a frame of the connecting trolley that is set on the traveling track and can travel along the traveling track; a wing plate moving mechanism installed on the frame for moving the lower wing plate along the traveling track; and a web plate moving mechanism installed on the frame for moving the web plate along the traveling track.
[0136] The frame connecting the trolley has a structure that is basically the same as that of the floating simulation traveling trolley, including a frame 141 composed of parallel inner and outer side plates, and a frame connecting beam 142 that fixes the front and rear ends of the frame together. The frame and the connecting beam together form a frame for supporting other components of the connecting trolley. In the design, the length extension direction of the inner and outer side plates is parallel to the length extension direction of the traveling track.
[0137] A wing plate moving mechanism and a web plate moving mechanism are installed on the frame connecting the trolley. The wing plate moving mechanism includes two sets of unpowered roller mechanisms mounted on the frame and located on the upper and lower sides of the lower wing plate of the travel track, respectively. The web plate moving mechanism includes two sets of guide wheel mechanisms mounted on the frame and located on the left and right sides of the web plate of the travel track. During assembly, each set of unpowered roller mechanisms includes two sets of unpowered roller mechanisms located on the upper and lower sides of the lower wing plate of the travel track, respectively, and the two sets of unpowered roller mechanisms are respectively positioned at the front and rear of the frame. Similarly, each set of guide wheel mechanisms includes two sets of guide wheel mechanisms located on the left and right sides of the lower wing plate of the travel track, and the two sets of guide wheel mechanisms are also respectively positioned at the front and rear of the frame.
[0138] Specifically, each set of non-powered roller mechanisms includes: an upper traveling wheel mechanism 143 disposed above the lower wing plate of the traveling track; and a lower traveling wheel mechanism 144 disposed below the lower wing plate of the traveling track. Among them, as shown... Figure 12-14As shown, the upper traveling wheel mechanism includes: a pair of cantilever shafts fixed to the inner and outer side plates of the connecting trolley frame, respectively. One end of each pair of cantilever shafts is fixedly connected to the corresponding side plate, and the other end extends outwards. The opposite ends of the pair of cantilever shafts have a certain gap, allowing at least the web of the traveling track to pass through; and a pair of unpowered upper rollers rotatably mounted on the pair of cantilever shafts. The lower traveling wheel mechanism includes: a fixed shaft with both ends fixed to the inner and outer side plates of the connecting trolley frame, respectively; and a pair of unpowered lower rollers rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft and corresponding to the positions of the pair of unpowered upper rollers.
[0139] Each set of guide wheel mechanisms is basically the same as the guide wheel structure of the floating simulation traveling car. A set of guide wheels is installed at each of the front and rear ends of the car frame. Both sets of guide wheels are located above the lower wing plate of the traveling track. Each set of guide wheels includes two guide wheels. One guide wheel is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner side plate through a guide wheel seat, and the other guide wheel is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer side plate through a guide wheel seat. The axles of both guide wheels extend vertically, that is, perpendicular to the axle of the unpowered upper roller. There is a certain gap between the outer surfaces of the two guide wheels. This gap is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the web plate of the traveling track, so that the two guide wheels can contact the two side walls of the web plate respectively and roll along the side walls.
[0140] When the floating simulation trolley moves along the track, it will drive the unpowered roller mechanism and guide wheel mechanism connected to the trolley to move along the lower wing plate and web plate of the track, respectively, so that the trolley moves more smoothly along the track and will not slip off the track or overturn.
[0141] The connecting trolley of this utility model can be used independently, or an electrical control box can be installed on it to form an electrical trolley 13. When forming an electrical trolley, a contactor bracket 21 is installed on the top of one side of the frame of the connecting trolley (see...). Figure 12 On the other side of the frame, the electrical control box is fixed by the connecting seat 20. Correspondingly, the sliding contact line connector 22 for electrical connection with the electrical sliding contact line rail 3a is installed on the contactor bracket 21.
[0142] Power is introduced into the control box through contact between the sliding contact line joint and the electrical sliding contact line track. The power from the control box is then transmitted to the electrical components of the floating simulation moving trolley via wires, enabling it to operate. The control box houses a programmable logic controller (PLC), motor controller, relays, DC power supply module, etc. Its structure can refer to existing technologies, and the structure for the electric trolley to electrically connect to the electrical sliding contact line track can also adopt existing technologies; therefore, it will not be described in detail here. During the design process, the number and position of the electric trolleys can be configured according to actual needs.
[0143] This novel extravehicular activity device operates like a closed conveyor chain. During assembly, a connecting trolley can be placed between two adjacent floating simulated vehicles to maintain an appropriate distance between them, providing sufficient space for users. Multiple (e.g., ten) connecting trolleys can be linked together and placed between two adjacent floating simulated vehicles to isolate the entire device into two relatively independent play areas. Furthermore, an electrical control box and a sliding contact bracket can be installed on the connecting trolley used to maintain appropriate distance between adjacent floating simulated vehicles to form an electrical trolley, facilitating the installation and use of electrical equipment.
[0144] To enable the connecting trolley, electric trolley, and floating simulated moving trolley to move synchronously along the track, this invention uses a connecting mechanism to link adjacent trolleys together. The connecting mechanism includes a pair of connecting lugs respectively disposed on the frames of the two adjacent trolleys to be connected (see...). Figure 3d , Figure 3e ); A connecting rod assembly whose two ends are rotatably connected to a pair of connecting ears respectively.
[0145] In this utility model, the connecting rod assembly in the connecting mechanism can be a telescopic connecting rod assembly 18, an elastic connecting rod assembly 16, or a non-telescopic connecting rod assembly 15, 17, or 19 of different lengths (see [reference]). Figure 3a The type of connecting rod assembly structure to be used can be determined based on the different trolleys used for connection in the actual application.
[0146] For example, when applying it, one can use, as needed, such as Figure 3 The connecting mechanism shown, i.e., when the electric trolley is connected to two adjacent floating simulated moving trolleys, can adopt a structure in which the electric trolley is connected to one floating simulated moving trolley via a non-retractable connecting rod assembly 15 and to the other floating simulated moving trolley via an elastic connecting rod assembly 16. When two adjacent connecting trolleys are connected, they can be connected using either a non-retractable connecting rod assembly 17 or a retractable connecting rod assembly 18. And when the connecting trolley is connected to the floating simulated moving trolley, it can be connected using a non-retractable connecting rod assembly 19.
[0147] The retractable connecting rod assembly 18 of this utility model can be adopted as follows: Figures 15-17The structure includes: a threaded rod 184 on which a connecting pin 187 can be threaded; a pair of threaded plates 185 at both ends of the threaded rod; a square tube 182 fixedly connected at one end to the threaded plate, and a U-shaped connecting plate 181 fixedly installed at the other end for rotatable connection with a connecting lug on an adjacent trolley. A through hole perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod is formed in the center of the connecting plate, through which a pin is threaded to connect the connecting plate to the connecting lug on the frame, and a self-lubricating flanged bushing 186 is fitted over the pin. In use, the length of the entire connecting rod assembly can be adjusted by rotating the threaded rod to adjust its insertion or removal from the square tube, thereby adapting to the required distance between adjacent trolleys.
[0148] The elastic connecting rod assembly 16 of this utility model can be adopted as follows: Figures 18a-19 The structure shown includes: a connecting rod 162 having a square tube and an extension rod fixedly connected to one end of the square tube; a U-shaped connecting plate 161 disposed at the other end of the square tube for rotatable connection with a connecting lug on an adjacent trolley; a sleeve 163 for fitting over the extension rod; a compression spring 166 disposed inside the sleeve and partially fitted over the extension rod; a pressure plate 164 mounted on the end of the sleeve facing the square tube for abutting the compression spring; an adjusting shim 165 bolted to the pressure plate 164; and a U-shaped connecting plate disposed at the other end of the sleeve for rotatable connection with a connecting lug on an adjacent trolley. Similarly, the connecting plate has a through hole perpendicular to the axis of the threaded rod at its center, through which a connecting pin 168 for connecting the connecting plate to the connecting lug on the frame passes, and a self-lubricating flanged bushing 167 is fitted over the connecting pin. In use, the length of the extension rod inserted into the sleeve can be adjusted by compressing the spring. This not only adjusts the length of the entire connecting rod assembly, but also provides a certain buffering effect for the two trolleys connected by the elastic connecting rod assembly. Since each floating simulation moving trolley is an independent self-driving trolley, the use of elastic connecting rods can buffer the impact force generated when each trolley stops suddenly, giving tourists a more comfortable experience.
[0149] A suspension mechanism is connected to the underside of the floating simulation moving vehicle. This mechanism includes a floating simulation component 500 and a rotary connecting component 600, connected to both the floating simulation moving vehicle and the floating simulation component, for rotating a user suspended on the floating simulation component relative to the floating simulation moving vehicle. The suspension mechanism can be a single-person suspension mechanism suspending only one user, or a double-person suspension mechanism suspending two users simultaneously. In the device of this invention, some floating simulation moving vehicles are connected to a single-person suspension mechanism, while others are connected to a double-person suspension mechanism.
[0150] Regardless of the type of suspension mechanism connected to the floating simulation vehicle, the suspension mechanism connects the floating simulation vehicle and the floating simulation component together through a rotary connecting component. This allows the floating simulation vehicle to move along the circular walking track on the ceiling of the space station environment experience area, thereby moving the floating simulation component that suspends the user. Furthermore, under the control of the control room, the floating simulation component can be rotated relative to the floating simulation vehicle through the rotary connecting component, enabling the user to perform various floating simulation actions and increasing the fun and immersive experience of floating simulation actions in the space station virtual reality environment.
[0151] When a single-person suspension mechanism is connected below the floating simulation traveling vehicle, the single-person suspension mechanism adopts the following... Figures 20-23 The structure shown includes: a single-person floating simulation component positioned below the floating simulation trolley for suspending a participant to perform floating simulation actions; and a single-person rotary connection component connected to both the floating simulation trolley and the floating simulation component. Under the control of the central control room, the floating simulation trolley moves along an I-shaped track 3, enabling the participant, pulled by the single-person floating simulation component connected to it via the single-person rotary connection component, to perform space floating walking actions. Furthermore, in conjunction with the single-person floating simulation component under the control room, the participant can be pulled by the steel cable of the single-person floating simulation component to perform various space floating simulation actions, such as lifting, pitching, and rotating movements, thus enhancing the participant's space station experience.
[0152] Among them, such as Figures 24a-25b As shown, the single-person rotary connection component 600 includes: a connecting frame 601 for connecting to the single-person floating simulation component, the length of which extends parallel to the walking track and is longer than the width of a person's shoulder; a hanging column 602 fixedly connected to the center of the connecting frame at its lower end; and a rotary drive 603 connected to the frame of the hanging column and the floating simulation trolley, respectively, which, driven by a drive motor 604, causes the hanging column and the single-person floating simulation component fixedly connected to the hanging column to rotate relative to the floating simulation trolley in a horizontal plane parallel to the walking track. This rotary drive can adopt a structure combining a slewing bearing and a circumferential worm gear, which can achieve multi-tooth contact, high transmission torque, and withstand large radial and axial loads as well as strong overturning moments, resulting in smooth operation. During assembly, the connecting flange 605 at the lower part of the rotary drive base is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hanging column by multiple bolts (see...). Figure 22 The top plate on the upper part of the base is fixedly connected to the connecting plate set in the center of the floating simulation moving vehicle frame by multiple bolts.
[0153] The single-person rotating connection component allows the single-person floating simulation component to rotate relative to the floating simulation vehicle in the horizontal plane, thereby driving the experiencer suspended by the single-person floating simulation component to perform the rotational motion in the space floating simulation action, enhancing the space station experience.
[0154] Among them, such as Figures 27-32 As shown, the single-person floating simulation component of this utility model includes: a fixed base plate disposed below and fixedly connected to the connecting frame of the single-person rotating connecting component, with a base plate connecting seat 515 disposed at its center position, and the base plate connecting seat being fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting frame by bolts; a first set of drum assemblies 514 and a second set of drum assemblies 521 mounted on the fixed base plate (see...). Figure 30 Each set of drum assemblies includes two drum assemblies, and each drum assembly has a steel wire rope 532 wound on its drum for suspending a part of the user; two reducer assemblies are set on both sides of the fixed base plate to provide driving force to the drums of the two sets of drum assemblies respectively; wherein the distance between the two drum assemblies of the first set of drum assemblies and the two drum assemblies of the second set of drum assemblies is different.
[0155] In this invention, a speed reducer assembly provides power to the drum assembly. The speed reducer assembly includes a speed reducer base 522 fixedly mounted on a fixed base plate, a speed reducer 502 fixedly mounted on the speed reducer base, and a motor 501 connected to the speed reducer. The speed reducer is a double-output shaft speed reducer with a pair of output shafts extending in opposite directions. The double output shafts of each double-output shaft speed reducer are respectively connected to two drum assemblies of a set of drum assemblies through bushings 520 and couplings 519.
[0156] The two drum assemblies in each drum assembly are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the corresponding reducer assembly (see...). Figure 30 Furthermore, the spacing between the two roll assemblies in the first roll assembly and the spacing between the two roll assemblies in the second roll assembly are different, such as... Figure 30 As shown, the first set of drum assemblies 514 can be structured with a greater spacing between the two drum assemblies than the second set of drum assemblies 521. This way, along the direction of travel of the trolley, the spacing between the two drum assemblies at the front is smaller than the spacing between the two drum assemblies at the rear. The user's shoulders can be suspended by the pair of drum assemblies with the smaller spacing, while the back or waist can be suspended by the pair of drum assemblies with the larger spacing. This design adapts to the human body shape, and the simultaneous suspension of the user by the steel cables on all four drum assemblies provides a more comfortable and safer suspension compared to three-point or two-point suspension. In application, the four drum assemblies can be operated simultaneously or individually as needed, allowing the user to perform movements such as lifting, lowering, and tilting.
[0157] All four drum assemblies of this utility model adopt the same structure, including: a drum whose rotating shaft is connected to the output shaft of the dual-output shaft reducer through a coupling; a steel wire rope with one end wound on the drum and the other end used to suspend the user; and a rope pressing wheel structure 510 set on one side of the drum, which is used to press the steel wire rope wound on the drum to prevent the rope from getting tangled. The rope pressing wheel structure can adopt the existing technology structure, which will not be described in detail here.
[0158] By winding or unwinding the wire rope onto the drum, the distance between the person suspended at the other end of the wire rope and the drum, i.e., the distance between the person and the walking track, can be changed. By adjusting the distances between the four wire ropes suspending the person and the walking track simultaneously or individually, the person can achieve pitching and / or lifting movements.
[0159] During the exercise experience, four suspension points are set on the participant. Each pair of suspension points is connected to two steel wire ropes on a set of drum assemblies. That is, one motor reducer of each set of drum assemblies is simultaneously connected to two drums wound with steel wire ropes. When the motor is working, the rotation of the two drums driven by it causes the two steel wire ropes to wind or unwind, thereby enabling the participant to achieve simulated movements through the four steel wire ropes of the two sets of drum assemblies.
[0160] In application, the floating simulation trolley moves on the circular walking track 3 under the control of the central control room. It can drive the experiencer, who is being pulled by the floating simulation component connected to it, to perform the action of floating in space. In conjunction with the single-person rotation mechanism and the single-person floating simulation component under the control of the central control room, the single-person floating simulation component rotates relative to the floating simulation trolley through the single-person rotation mechanism. By making the four drum components in the single-person floating simulation component work individually or simultaneously, the experiencer suspended by the single-person floating simulation component can achieve pitching or lifting movements. For example, by making the second drum component in the single-person floating simulation component release the steel wire rope and making the first drum component wind the steel wire rope, the experiencer suspended by the single-person floating simulation component can experience a diving motion; by making the second drum component and the first drum component in the single-person floating simulation component wind the steel wire rope synchronously, the experiencer suspended by the single-person floating simulation component can experience an ascending motion, etc.
[0161] The specific movements of the single-person floating simulation component can be tailored to the needs of the space station simulation. Therefore, the use of a single-person suspension mechanism allows participants to perform various space-floating simulation movements, such as floating, rotating, rising and falling, and pitching, after boarding a realistic simulated space station, greatly increasing the fun and interactivity of the space station experience.
[0162] In addition, to ensure the safety of participants suspended by steel wire ropes during their space station experience, this invention also includes a safety mechanism on the single-person floating simulation component that connects to its fixed base plate.
[0163] like Figures 28-30 As shown, the safety mechanism includes wire rope safety stops 533 installed on each wire rope to limit the ascent limit of the suspended user. Additionally, the safety mechanism includes an anti-impact plate 504 installed below and movably connected to the fixed base plate, four limit switches 505 installed on the fixed base plate, and four contact blocks 531 installed on the anti-impact plate for engaging with the four limit switches. When subjected to external force, the anti-impact plate can tilt relative to the fixed base plate; when tilted, the contact blocks can engage the corresponding limit switches.
[0164] Specifically, four through holes are provided at the four corners of the fixed base plate (e.g., near the drum position), and four through holes are also provided at the corresponding four corners of the anti-impact plate, which is horizontal and has a similar size to the fixed base plate. The anti-impact plate located below the fixed base plate is connected to the fixed base plate using four connectors, such as bolts, with an outer diameter smaller than the diameter of the through holes. This allows the anti-impact plate to tilt relative to the fixed base plate while maintaining a certain distance between them. Alternatively, other methods of existing technology can be used to hinge the two together.
[0165] Four limit switch brackets 528 are installed at the four corners of the fixed base plate, and a limit switch 505 is installed on each limit switch bracket. During assembly, the limit switches are installed on the outside of the corresponding drum and extend out of the fixed base plate. Correspondingly, four contact blocks 531 for cooperating with the four limit switches are fixed at the corresponding positions of the four corners of the anti-impact plate by brackets.
[0166] When four participants experience simulated motion while suspended by steel wire ropes, especially when they rise to a preset limit position on the steel wire ropes, the contact points on the steel wire ropes will collide with the anti-impact plate, causing the anti-impact plate to tilt. When the anti-impact plate tilts, at least one contact point installed on the anti-impact plate will collide with a limit switch located on the fixed base plate. As a result, the control system of the experience facility will issue a collision-related signal and automatically cut off the circuit to protect the participants.
[0167] Furthermore, it also includes an alarm component capable of emitting audible and / or visual signals, used to issue an alarm signal after the control system provides a collision-related signal, alerting management personnel to take timely action. This alarm component can adopt existing technological structures, which will not be described in detail here.
[0168] When a two-person suspension mechanism is connected below the floating simulation traveling vehicle, the two-person suspension mechanism can be adopted. Figures 33-37The structure shown includes: a two-person floating simulation component positioned below the floating simulation trolley for simultaneously suspending two participants and enabling them to perform synchronized floating simulation movements; and a two-person rotary connection component connected to both the floating simulation trolley and the two-person floating simulation component for rotating the two-person floating simulation component relative to the floating simulation trolley. The two-person rotary connection component connects the floating simulation trolley and the two-person floating simulation component, allowing the two participants to move simultaneously as the floating simulation trolley moves along the circular walking track on the ceiling of the space station environment experience area. Controlled by the control room, the two-person rotary connection component can rotate relative to the floating simulation trolley, enabling the two participants to perform synchronized or individual rotary floating simulation movements.
[0169] Specifically, such as Figures 38a-39b As shown, the double-person rotating connection component of this utility model includes: a double-person connecting frame 601', used to connect with the double-person floating simulation component, the length of which extends parallel to the walking track and is longer than the total width when two people walk side by side; a hanging column 602' whose lower end is fixedly connected to the center of the double-person connecting frame; and a rotating drive 603' connected to the frame of the hanging column and the floating simulation trolley, respectively, which, driven by a drive motor 604', causes the hanging column and the double-person floating simulation component fixedly connected to the hanging column to rotate relative to the floating simulation trolley in a horizontal plane parallel to the walking track. Similarly, the rotating drive also adopts existing technology. During assembly, the connecting flange 605' at the lower part of the rotating drive base is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hanging column by multiple bolts (see...). Figure 39b The top plate on the upper part of the base is fixedly connected to the connecting plate set in the center of the floating simulation moving vehicle frame by multiple bolts.
[0170] The two-person rotating connection component allows the two-person floating simulation component to rotate relative to the floating simulation trolley in the horizontal plane, thereby enabling the two participants suspended by the two-person floating simulation component to synchronously perform the rotational motion in the space floating simulation action, enhancing the space station experience.
[0171] The present invention includes two sets of floating simulation components: two sets of floating simulation components are set on the left and right sides of the double-person connecting frame of the double-person rotating connecting component and connected thereto respectively; each set of floating simulation components has a fixed base plate for fixed connection with the double-person connecting frame and a steel wire rope for suspending the experiencer.
[0172] The two sets of floating simulation components of this utility model have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the double-person connecting frame. The structure of each set of floating simulation components is the same as that of the single-person floating simulation component mentioned above, and the structure of the floating simulation components will not be described in detail here. During assembly, the fixed base plates of the two sets of floating simulation components are fixedly connected to both sides of the double-person connecting frame respectively. During connection, a base plate connecting seat 515 is set at the center of the fixed base plate, and the base plate connecting seat is fixedly connected to one side of the double-person connecting frame by bolts.
[0173] In application, a floating simulation trolley moves two sets of floating simulation components simultaneously to simulate floating motion in space. By having four pairs of drum assemblies in each set of floating simulation components work individually or simultaneously, two participants suspended from each set can experience pitching or rising / falling motions individually or simultaneously. For example, by having one pair of second-set drum assemblies in each set of floating simulation components simultaneously release the steel wire rope and one pair of first-set drum assemblies simultaneously wind the steel wire rope, two participants suspended from each set of floating simulation components can experience a synchronized diving motion. Similarly, by having one pair of second-set drum assemblies and one pair of first-set drum assemblies in each set of floating simulation components simultaneously wind the steel wire rope, two participants suspended from each set of floating simulation components can experience a synchronized rising motion. Furthermore, by having the first set of drum assemblies in the first set of floating simulation components release the steel wire rope and the second set of drum assemblies wind the steel wire rope, while the two sets of drum assemblies in the other set of floating simulation components simultaneously release the steel wire rope, a participant suspended from the first set of floating simulation components can experience a backward tilting motion, and a participant suspended from the second set of floating simulation components can experience a descending motion, and so on. The specific movements of the two sets of floating simulation components can be performed according to the needs of space station simulation movements, so that two participants suspended by the double lifting mechanism can individually or simultaneously realize various floating simulation movements of the space station, increasing fun and interactivity.
[0174] The two-person suspension mechanism allows two participants to simultaneously board a realistic simulated space station and perform various space floating simulation actions, either individually or simultaneously, such as synchronized floating motion, rotational motion, individual or simultaneous lifting motion, pitching motion, etc.
[0175] In summary, the device of this utility model has a circular walking track 3 and an electrical sliding contact line track 3a fixed on the top of the cabin in the circular space station experience area. Multiple floating simulated moving trolleys 400, multiple electrical trolleys 13, and multiple connecting trolleys 14 are connected as one unit on the circular walking track 3, and the sliding contact line joints of the electrical trolleys are connected to the electrical sliding contact line track 3a. Thus, each trolley can move synchronously along the walking track under the drive of the floating simulated moving trolleys. Through the electrical trolleys, communication with the outside world is achieved, allowing the experiencer suspended below the floating simulated moving trolley to board the real simulated space station. After wearing a VR headset in the circular space station experience area of the simulated space station, they can be immersed in the virtual reality space station environment, greatly improving the realism of the experience.
[0176] Although the present invention has been described in detail above, it is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications based on the principles of the present invention. Therefore, all modifications made in accordance with the principles of the present invention should be understood as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
