Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of gaming device technology, and in particular to simulator bases and gaming devices. Background Technology
[0002] Gaming devices employing direct-drive technology have their simulator base's motor output shaft coaxially connected to the control device, eliminating backlash and transmission errors in the transmission system and significantly improving response speed. Furthermore, the motor outputs a reverse torque to the control device, allowing users to experience steering resistance similar to that in real-world simulations.
[0003] In conventional technology, output torque is adjusted by changing the motor's operating current. However, during the operation of gaming devices, the motor temperature gradually increases, causing changes in the motor's characteristics. At this point, even if the set operating current is input, the motor's output torque may not reach the expected value, resulting in less steering resistance felt by the user in the simulation game, thus affecting the immersion and realism of the simulation game. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a simulator base and gaming device to address the problem that the output torque of the motor in conventional gaming devices is difficult to reach the expected value, resulting in less steering resistance felt by users in simulation games and affecting the immersion and realism of simulation games.
[0005] One embodiment of this application provides a simulator base, the simulator base including: a motor, a first connector, a second connector, a torque sensor, a plurality of first fasteners and a plurality of second fasteners;
[0006] One of the first connector and the second connector is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the other is used for coaxial connection to the operating device;
[0007] The torque sensor is axially disposed between the first connector and the second connector;
[0008] Multiple first fasteners are arranged circumferentially along the torque sensor, and the first fasteners fix the torque sensor to the first connector.
[0009] Multiple second fasteners are arranged circumferentially along the torque sensor, and the second fasteners fix the torque sensor to the second connector. The multiple second fasteners are located around the multiple first fasteners.
[0010] In the aforementioned simulator base, one of the first and second connecting members is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the other is coaxially connected to the operating device. A torque sensor is axially positioned between the first and second connecting members. Multiple first fasteners arranged circumferentially around the torque sensor fix the torque sensor to the first connecting member, and multiple second fasteners arranged circumferentially around the torque sensor and located around the periphery of the first fasteners fix the torque sensor to the second connecting member. Therefore, the torque sensor can transmit torque between the first and second connecting members. When the motor's output shaft rotates, it drives the operating device to rotate via the first connecting member, the torque sensor, and the second connecting member. Simultaneously, the torque sensor detects the torque between the first and second connecting members, i.e., the torque between the motor's output shaft and the operating device. By detecting the actual torque between the motor's output shaft and the operating device, the deviation between the expected and actual output torque of the motor can be used to adjust the motor's output torque. This ensures that the torque output to the operating device accurately matches the expected value, resulting in a more realistic steering resistance felt by the user and enhancing the immersion and realism of the simulation game.
[0011] In one embodiment, the second fastener is located at the outer edge of the torque sensor, and the first fastener is located at the inner edge of the torque sensor.
[0012] By using a first fastener located on the inner edge of the torque sensor and a second fastener located on the outer edge of the torque sensor, the torque sensor can more directly sense the actual torque change between the first and second connectors, making the torque detection results more accurate. This allows for more precise correction of the motor's output torque based on the actual torque.
[0013] In one embodiment, the first connector and the second connector are misaligned with each other along the circumference of the torque sensor.
[0014] By misaligning the first and second connectors along the circumference of the torque sensor, this arrangement effectively avoids stress superposition when the two transmit force at corresponding circumferential positions. This helps to disperse the torque over a larger area of the torque sensor's circumference during transmission. At the same time, it extends the force transmission path, allowing the torque to transition more smoothly along the path formed by the circumferential misalignment when transmitted from one connector to another, reducing the occurrence of sudden increases in local stress. This ensures the stability of torque transmission and creates more favorable structural conditions for the torque sensor to accurately detect torque.
[0015] In one embodiment, the first connector and the second connector are alternately distributed along the circumference of the torque sensor.
[0016] By alternating the first and second connectors along the circumference of the torque sensor, this alternating distribution further refines the force transmission nodes. This ensures a more uniform distribution of force application points circumferentially as torque is transferred from one connector to another, effectively reducing the risk of localized stress concentration. Simultaneously, the alternating distribution extends the force transmission path circumferentially, allowing torque to be gradually transmitted and transitioned over a wider range of the torque sensor. This results in a more balanced and gradual force distribution across the sensor's components, ensuring the sensor can more accurately capture real torque changes. This provides a more reliable basis for subsequent adjustments to the motor's output torque, thereby guaranteeing the authenticity and stability of the steering resistance felt by the user.
[0017] In one embodiment, one of the first connector and the second connector is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor and is interference-fitted with the output shaft.
[0018] By using an interference fit between the connector and the output shaft, this fit generates a clamping force through the dimensional difference between the connector and the output shaft, achieving a tight connection between the two. This effectively prevents loosening or relative slippage, ensuring that the torque from the motor output shaft is transmitted to the connector to the maximum extent, reducing torque loss during transmission and improving torque transmission efficiency. Simultaneously, the interference fit guarantees the coaxiality of the connector and the output shaft, improving the detection accuracy of the torque sensor.
[0019] In one embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the motor output shaft has a plurality of protruding structures distributed thereon; one of the first connector and the second connector has an inner hole, and the portion of the output shaft with the protruding structures is interference-fitted with the inner hole.
[0020] On the one hand, during the process of inserting the output shaft into the inner hole, the protruding structure on the outer circumference of the output shaft squeezes the inner wall of the inner hole. (Compared to the output shaft with a smooth outer circumference,) the squeezing area is smaller, thus reducing the difficulty of assembling the output shaft and the inner hole. On the other hand, the protruding structure squeezes and embeds itself into the inner hole wall during the assembly process. This embedding effect increases the mechanical engagement area and friction between the output shaft and the inner hole, effectively improving the torque transmission capability, reducing relative slippage, and ensuring more accurate torque transmission.
[0021] In one embodiment, the plurality of protruding structures are a plurality of tooth structures arranged sequentially along the circumference of the output shaft of the motor.
[0022] The multiple tooth structures arranged circumferentially will exert multi-point pressure on the inner hole wall and embed themselves in it during the assembly process. This multi-point embedding effect can greatly increase the mechanical meshing area and friction between the output shaft and the inner hole, and the circumferentially evenly distributed tooth structure can make the force more balanced when transmitting torque.
[0023] In one embodiment, the torque sensor is a static torque sensor or a dynamic torque sensor.
[0024] In simulation games, the steering action of a user turning a control device is dynamic and changes in real time, as does the steering resistance. The motor needs to quickly adjust its output torque based on these dynamic changes to simulate realistic steering resistance. Because dynamic torque sensors can accurately capture this dynamic torque signal and promptly feed the detected data back to the control system, the control system can quickly adjust the motor's output according to changes in dynamic torque. This further enhances the realism and immersion of the simulation game, providing users with a more authentic experience.
[0025] In one embodiment, one of the first connector and the second connector has an annular boss on the outer edge of its end face; the annular boss surrounds the periphery of the torque sensor.
[0026] During assembly, the annular boss provides a clear positioning reference for the installation of the torque sensor. Specifically, it restricts the circumferential position of the torque sensor, guiding it to be quickly and accurately placed in the preset position, preventing it from shifting or misaligning during assembly.
[0027] In one embodiment, a plurality of first fasteners are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the torque sensor; and / or, a plurality of second fasteners are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the torque sensor.
[0028] In this way, the torque can be transmitted from one connector to another, making the force distribution more uniform, effectively reducing the risk of local stress concentration, and extending the force transmission path in the circumferential direction.
[0029] In one embodiment, the first fastener is a bolt; and / or, the second fastener is a bolt.
[0030] This application provides a gaming device, including the simulator base described in any of the above embodiments.
[0031] In the aforementioned gaming device, one of the first and second connecting members is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the other is coaxially connected to the operating device. A torque sensor is axially positioned between the first and second connecting members. Multiple first fasteners arranged circumferentially around the torque sensor fix the torque sensor to the first connecting member, and multiple second fasteners arranged circumferentially around the torque sensor and located around the periphery of the first fasteners fix the torque sensor to the second connecting member. Therefore, the torque sensor can transmit torque between the first and second connecting members. When the motor's output shaft rotates, it drives the operating device to rotate via the first connecting member, the torque sensor, and the second connecting member. Simultaneously, the torque sensor detects the torque between the first and second connecting members, i.e., the torque between the motor's output shaft and the operating device. By detecting the actual torque between the motor's output shaft and the operating device, the deviation between the expected and actual output torque of the motor can be used to adjust the motor's output torque. This ensures that the torque output to the operating device accurately matches the expected value, resulting in a more realistic steering resistance felt by the user and enhancing the immersion and realism of the simulation game.

[0040] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0041] As mentioned in the background section, conventional gaming devices adjust output torque by changing the operating current of the motor. However, during operation, the motor temperature gradually increases, causing changes in motor characteristics. At this point, even with the set operating current, the motor's output torque may not reach the expected value, resulting in less steering resistance perceived by the user in the simulation game, thus affecting the immersion and realism of the simulation.
[0042] Based on the above problems, this application provides a simulator base. Please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 The simulator base includes: a motor, a first connector 200, a second connector 300, a torque sensor 400, a plurality of first fasteners 500 and a plurality of second fasteners 600.
[0043] One of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 is coaxially connected to the output shaft 110 of the motor, and the other is used for coaxial connection to the operating device (not shown).
[0044] The torque sensor 400 is axially disposed between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300.
[0045] Multiple first fasteners 500 are arranged circumferentially along the torque sensor 400, and the first fasteners 500 fix the torque sensor 400 to the first connector 200.
[0046] Multiple second fasteners 600 are arranged circumferentially along the torque sensor 400, and the second fasteners 600 fix the torque sensor 400 to the second connector 300. The multiple second fasteners 600 are located around the multiple first fasteners 500.
[0047] Optionally, the first connecting member 200 is a coupling or a quick-release connector. Optionally, the second connecting member 300 is a coupling or a quick-release connector.
[0048] In the aforementioned simulator base, one of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 is coaxially connected to the output shaft 110 of the motor, and the other is coaxially connected to the operating device. A torque sensor 400 is axially disposed between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300. Because multiple first fasteners 500 arranged circumferentially around the torque sensor 400 fix the torque sensor 400 to the first connector 200, and multiple second fasteners 600 arranged circumferentially around the torque sensor 400 and located around the multiple first fasteners 500 fix the torque sensor 400 to the second connector 300, the torque sensor 400 can transmit torque between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300. When the motor's output shaft 110 rotates, it drives the operating device to rotate via the first connector 200, torque sensor 400, and second connector 300. Simultaneously, the torque sensor 400 detects the torque between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300, i.e., the torque between the motor's output shaft 110 and the operating device. By detecting the actual torque between the motor's output shaft 110 and the operating device, the torque sensor 400 can adjust the motor's output torque based on the deviation between the expected and actual torque values. This ensures that the torque output to the operating device accurately matches the expected value, resulting in a more realistic steering resistance perceived by the user and enhancing the immersion and realism of the simulation game.
[0049] Understandably, the actual torque detected by the torque sensor 400 can be transmitted to the control system, which can then correct the motor's output torque based on the deviation between the expected value of the motor's output torque and the actual torque. The control system is, for example, a computer.
[0050] Furthermore, since multiple first fasteners 500 are arranged circumferentially along the torque sensor 400, the torque sensor 400 can be securely fixed to the first connector 200. Similarly, since multiple second fasteners 600 are arranged circumferentially along the torque sensor 400, the torque sensor 400 can be securely fixed to the second connector 300. This arrangement effectively ensures reliable connection between the first connector 200, the second connector 300, and the torque sensor 400, guaranteeing a stable and reliable torque transmission path from the motor to the operating device.
[0051] Please combine Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, the first connector 200 is coaxially connected to the output shaft 110, and the second connector 300 is coaxially connected to the operating device.
[0052] In other embodiments, the first connector may be coaxially connected to the operating device, and the second connector may be coaxially connected to the output shaft.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 5In one embodiment, the second fastener 600 is located at the outer edge of the torque sensor 400, and the first fastener 500 is located at the inner edge of the torque sensor 400.
[0054] Since the second fastener 600 is located at the outer edge of the torque sensor 400 and the first fastener 500 is located at its inner edge, the transmission path of torque between the first connector 200, the torque sensor 400, and the second connector 300 is closer to a straight line and more evenly distributed.
[0055] By using the first fastener 500 located on the inner edge of the torque sensor 400 and the second fastener 600 located on the outer edge of the torque sensor 400, the torque sensor 400 can more directly sense the actual torque change between the first connector 200 and the second connector 300, making the torque detection result more accurate, thereby enabling more precise correction of the motor's output torque based on the actual torque.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are misaligned with each other along the circumference of the torque sensor 400.
[0057] By misaligning the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 along the circumference of the torque sensor 400, this arrangement effectively avoids stress superposition when the two transmit force at corresponding circumferential positions. This helps to disperse the torque to a larger area around the torque sensor 400 during transmission. At the same time, it extends the force transmission path, allowing the torque to transition more smoothly along the path formed by the circumferential misalignment when it is transmitted from one connector to another, reducing the occurrence of sudden increases in local stress. This ensures the stability of torque transmission and creates more favorable structural conditions for the torque sensor 400 to accurately detect torque.
[0058] In one embodiment, along the circumference of the torque sensor 400, the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 are alternately distributed.
[0059] By alternately distributing the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 along the circumference of the torque sensor 400, this alternating distribution further refines the force transmission nodes. This ensures a more uniform circumferential distribution of force as torque is transferred from one connector to another, effectively reducing the risk of localized stress concentration. Simultaneously, the alternating distribution extends the circumferential force transmission path, allowing torque to be gradually transmitted and transitioned over a larger area of the torque sensor 400. This results in a more balanced and gradual force distribution across the torque sensor 400, ensuring that it can more accurately capture real torque changes. This provides a more reliable basis for subsequent adjustments to the motor output torque, thereby guaranteeing the authenticity and stability of the steering resistance felt by the user.
[0060] In one embodiment, a plurality of first connectors 200 are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the torque sensor 400. In this way, as the torque is transmitted from one connector to another, the force distribution is more uniform, the risk of local stress concentration is reduced more effectively, and the force transmission path in the circumferential direction is extended.
[0061] In one embodiment, a plurality of second connectors 300 are arranged at uniform intervals along the circumference of the torque sensor 400. This allows for a more uniform force distribution during torque transfer from one connector to another, effectively reducing the risk of localized stress concentration and extending the force transmission path in the circumferential direction.
[0062] In one embodiment, one of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 is sleeved on the output shaft 110 of the motor and is interference-fitted with the output shaft 110.
[0063] In this embodiment, the first connector 200 may be used to press against the output shaft 110; in other embodiments, it may be the second connector.
[0064] By using an interference fit between the connector and the output shaft 100, this fit generates a clamping force through the dimensional difference between the connector and the output shaft 110, achieving a tight connection between the two. This effectively prevents loosening or relative slippage, ensuring that the torque of the motor output shaft 110 can be transmitted to the connector to the maximum extent, reducing torque loss during transmission and improving torque transmission efficiency. Simultaneously, the interference fit ensures the coaxiality of the connector and the output shaft 110, improving the detection accuracy of the torque sensor 400.
[0065] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the motor output shaft 110 has a plurality of protruding structures 111. One of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 has an inner hole 201, and the portion of the output shaft 110 with the protruding structures 111 is press-fitted with the inner hole 201.
[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connector 200 has an inner hole 201, and the portion of the output shaft 110 with a protruding structure 111 is interference-fitted with the inner hole 201. Thus, during assembly, the protruding structure 111 can be embedded into the inner hole 201 by pressing against the hole wall of the inner hole 201.
[0067] On the one hand, during the process of inserting the output shaft 110 into the inner hole 201, the protruding structure 111 on the outer circumferential surface of the output shaft 110 squeezes the inner wall of the inner hole 201. (Compared to the smooth outer circumferential surface of the output shaft 110), the squeezing area is small, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the output shaft 110 and the inner hole 201. On the other hand, the protruding structure 111 will squeeze and embed itself into the hole wall of the inner hole 201 during the assembly process. This embedding effect can increase the mechanical engagement area and friction between the output shaft 110 and the inner hole 201, effectively improve the torque transmission capability, reduce relative slippage, and ensure more accurate torque transmission.
[0068] Please refer to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the plurality of protruding structures 111 are a plurality of tooth structures arranged sequentially along the circumference of the output shaft 110 of the motor.
[0069] By making the protruding structure 111 a toothed structure, the contact area between the toothed structure and the inner wall of the inner hole 201 is smaller. The multiple toothed structures are evenly distributed along the circumference of the output shaft 110, which can concentrate the force more evenly on multiple local positions of the inner wall of the inner hole 201 during assembly, causing the hole wall to undergo adaptive deformation, further reducing the assembly resistance between the output shaft 110 and the inner hole 201, making the assembly process more effortless and smooth.
[0070] During assembly, the multiple tooth structures arranged in sequence along the circumference will exert multi-point pressure on the inner hole 201 wall and embed into it. This multi-point embedding effect can greatly increase the mechanical meshing area and friction between the output shaft 110 and the inner hole 201, and the circumferentially distributed tooth structure can make the force more balanced when transmitting torque.
[0071] In one embodiment, the torque sensor 400 is a dynamic torque sensor.
[0072] The dynamic torque sensor can continuously detect the real-time torque between the motor output shaft 110 and the operating device during dynamic operation. In simulation games, the steering action of the user when turning the operating device is dynamic and changes in real time, and the steering resistance in the simulation game also changes in real time. The motor needs to quickly adjust its output torque according to these dynamic changes to simulate realistic steering resistance. Because the dynamic torque sensor can accurately capture this dynamic torque signal and promptly feed the detected data back to the control system, the control system can quickly adjust the motor output according to the changes in dynamic torque, thereby further enhancing the realism and immersion of the simulation game and providing users with a more realistic experience.
[0073] Taking driving simulation games as an example, the gaming device is a driving simulation device, the simulator base is a driving simulator base, and the control device is a steering wheel. In driving simulation games, the steering action when the user turns the steering wheel is dynamic and changes in real time. The steering resistance mainly comes from changes in road conditions in the game (such as bumpy roads), and therefore also changes in real time.
[0074] In other embodiments, the torque sensor may also be a static torque sensor.
[0075] Please refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, one of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300 has an annular boss 210 on the outer edge of its end face. The annular boss 210 surrounds the periphery of the torque sensor 400.
[0076] During assembly, the torque sensor 400 is positioned between the end faces of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300, thus allowing it to be surrounded by the annular boss 210. Therefore, during assembly, the annular boss 210 provides a clear positioning reference for the installation of the torque sensor 400. Specifically, the circumferential position of the torque sensor 400 can be restricted, guiding it to be quickly and accurately placed in a preset position, preventing it from shifting or misaligning during assembly.
[0077] Furthermore, the annular boss 210 also surrounds the periphery of the other of the first connector 200 and the second connector 300. In this way, during assembly, it can also assist in aligning the other connector with the torque sensor 400, thereby ensuring the coaxiality of the first connector 200, the torque sensor 400, and the second connector 300 in the axial direction. This reduces torque transmission problems or detection errors caused by inaccurate assembly positioning, improving assembly efficiency and quality.
[0078] exist Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the first connector 200 is provided with an annular boss 210. The annular boss 210 surrounds the second connector 300.
[0079] In other embodiments, the second connector may also have an annular boss. The annular boss surrounds the first connector.
[0080] Please refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the torque sensor 400 includes an inner ring 410, an outer ring 420, and a plurality of torque beams 430. The outer ring 420 surrounds the inner ring 410. The plurality of torque beams 430 are arranged circumferentially along the torque sensor 400. The inner ends of the torque beams 430 are connected to the inner ring 410, and the outer ends of the torque beams 430 are connected to the outer ring 420.
[0081] When torque is transmitted to torque sensor 400 via first connector 200 and second connector 300, inner ring 410 and outer ring 420 will undergo relative torsion, which in turn causes deformation of multiple torque beams 430 connecting the two. Torque sensor 430 can detect this torsional deformation, thereby detecting torque.
[0082] In one embodiment, a first fastener 500 passes through the torque sensor 400 and the first connector 500, facilitating a reliable connection between the first fastener 500 and the torque sensor and the first connector 500. A second fastener 600 passes through the torque sensor 400 and the second connector 600, facilitating a reliable connection between the torque sensor 400 and the second connector 600.
[0083] Optionally, the first fastener 500 is a bolt. Optionally, the second fastener 600 is a bolt.
[0084] This application also provides a gaming device, including the simulator base and operating device described in any of the above embodiments.
[0085] Gaming devices can be driving simulators, such as racing simulators, with controls such as a steering wheel. Gaming devices can also be flight simulators, etc.
[0086] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0087] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
