Compact movement simulator
View Patent ↗The present invention pertains to the technical field of teaching or training simulators, more specifically the field of those especially designed for providing instruction on driving vehicles or other means of transport, and it particularly refers to a compact motion simulator for creating motion in three directions.
1. A compact motion simulator made up of:
a seat,
controls for simulating controlling a vehicle, and
three supports, distributed as two front supports and one rear support, that extend from the bottom of the seat, wherein each one of the three supports has:
an upper end with a first joint, and
a lower end with a second joint,
wherein the compact motion simulator comprises:
runners, wherein each one of the runners is linked to each one of the three supports by means of each respective one of the second joints, thus, resting each of the three supports on each corresponding one of the runners,
movable guides, wherein each one the movable guides is placed below each respective one of the runners, moving each one of the runners longitudinally through each respective one of the movable guides,
fixed guides, wherein each one of the fixed guides is placed below and transverse to each respective one of the movable guides wherein each one of the movable guides moves longitudinally through each respective one of the fixed guides,
first electric motors, connected to and for actuating the runners second electric motors, connected to and for actuating the movable guides, and
an external controller connected to and for controlling the first and second electric motors based on linear movement parameters.
2. The compact motion simulator according to claim 1 , wherein the three supports extend obliquely to the seat.
3. The compact motion simulator according to claim 1 , wherein the second joints are ball joints.
4. The compact motion simulator according to claim 1 , wherein the first joints are pins.
5. The compact motion simulator according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second electric motors are servomotors.
