[0024] The present invention will be further described below through embodiments. Those skilled in the art can refer to the embodiments for implementation, and can also make technical improvements and innovations based on the existing technical solutions.

[0025] Example 1: A flip-top simulator cabin includes a cabin body 1. A support frame 4 is vertically welded to the middle front section of the cabin body 1. The support frame 4 has a controller mounting position 45 and a steering wheel mounting position 43. The lower part of the support frame 4 is used for mounting brake components, accelerator components, and clutch components. To improve overall strength, a side support beam 2 is provided around the periphery of the cabin body 1. The side support beam 2 extends below the support frame and has a vertical support beam 22. A support base 3 is fixed to the top of the vertical support beam 22. The side support beam 2 extends rearward and forms a rear end protrusion 21. This invention also includes a rear reinforcing plate 23 in conjunction with the vertical support beam 22. The rear reinforcing plate 23 is used for secondary fixation between the support base 3 and the side support beam 2. The overall strength of this flip-top simulator cabin is improved through the above-mentioned structural improvements.

[0026] This utility model features a hatch 5 mounted above a support base 3. The hatch 5 is fastened to the support base 3. An elastic support rod 6 is positioned between the hatch 5 and the support base 3. In this utility model, there are two elastic support rods 6, symmetrically arranged on both sides. A quick-release locking buckle 7 is also provided between the hatch 5 and the support base 3. A hook 71 is provided on the hatch 5. Figure 2 , 3 As shown, when the support base 3 and the hatch cover 5 are fastened together, they can be locked and fixed by using the quick-release locking buckle 7 and the hook 71.

[0027] As a further functional expansion, the top of the hatch 5 is provided with a vertical rod 53, and a display screen mounting bracket 54 is provided on the vertical rod 53 to fix the display screen; the front side of the hatch 5 is provided with a control surface 51, and the control surface 51 is provided with several control button fixing holes for fixing various function buttons or switches. The control surface 51 is also provided with a steering wheel clearance groove 52 for clearance of the steering wheel.

[0028] As a further functional improvement, since the hatch 5, along with its upper display screen and other accessories, is quite heavy, to prevent the hatch 5 from impacting the support base 3 or support frame 4 when fastened, this invention provides a vertical support frame 41 at the top of the support frame 4. The front side of the vertical support frame 41 is provided with a reinforcing rib 44, and the top of the vertical support frame 41 is provided with a buffer pad 42. The buffer pad 42 provides cushioning and support after the hatch 5 is fastened, avoiding deformation of the hatch 5 or increased noise caused by hard impacts.

[0029] Furthermore, because this utility model requires frequent separation of the hatch cover 5 from the support base 3 during use, to improve the combined strength, the hatch cover 5 of this utility model is designed to cover the entire support frame 3 after being fastened onto the support base 3; such as Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the support base 3 is formed by bending a plate. The edge of the support base 3 is provided with a U-shaped bent flange 32, which covers the entire support base 3 when the hatch 5 is fastened to the support base 3.

[0030] The hatch 5 has a top bent flange 57 on its outer periphery, and an outer side plate 56 is provided outside the top bent flange 57. The outer side plate 56 and the top bent flange 57 form a covering right angle groove 56 that engages with the U-shaped bent flange 32. When the hatch 5 is fastened to the support base 3, the support base 3 is not visible from the outside. After the hatch is closed, the covering structure has a neat appearance and high overall strength.

[0031] Furthermore, several inner baffles 58 are fixed on the right-angled groove 56. The inner baffles 58 achieve inner blocking after the right-angled groove 56 and the U-shaped bend flange 32 are fastened and inserted. This structure not only has a neat appearance, but also achieves inner blocking combination of the U-shaped bend flange 32 on the support base 3. After assembly, the hatch cover 5 and the support base 3 are assembled into one piece.

[0032] In summary, this utility model, through the above structural design, allows for easy and labor-saving opening during internal maintenance. First, the quick-release locking buckle 7 can be opened, and then the hatch 5 can be lifted upwards with force. Simultaneously, the elastic support rod 6 on the support base 3 supports the hatch 5 as it detaches from the support base 3. Once the hatch 5 is opened, the entire controller mounting position 45 is fully exposed, providing ample operating space and facilitating internal inspection, upgrades, and maintenance. It is an ideal flip-top simulator cabin.
