    摘要: A crane, a construction machine or an industrial truck, with a control station including at least one input means for inputting control commands, a graphical simulation module for calculating a virtual representation of the machine surroundings and/or machine components visible from the control station, such as a boom or a load hook, and a display device for displaying the calculated virtual representation, wherein a movement simulation module is provided for determining movements and/or deformations of the machine components according to the inputted control commands, depending on which the graphical simulation module calculates the virtual representation. Proposed is a data emulation using hardware components, which carry out actual actuating movements and thus simulate “actual” actuating movements of the machine to be simulated, in order to provide corresponding movement data more rapidly and with less computing performance, whereby a more realistic simulation can be achieved in real-time or almost real-time.

    摘要: According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a motion generator comprising an effector for applying forces, moments and movements to a payload relative to a surface connected to one or more elongate rigid struts, each strut being connected at one end thereof by a first joint to the effector and being connected at its other end by a second joint to an associated rocker, the rocker having a pivot axis, such that movement of a rocker about the pivot axis leads to movement of the effector, and forces applied to an associated rocker lead to forces being applied to the effector, in which the movement of a rocker and forces applied by the rocker are controlled by an actuator, the actuator being in the form of an elongate belt, cable, rope drive, or linear motor arranged to apply a force to a point on an associated rocker away from the pivot axis of the rocker. According to a second aspect of the invention there is provided a motion generator comprising an effector for applying forces, moments and movements to a payload relative to a surface, the effector being connected to four, or more elongate rigid struts, each strut being connected at one end thereof by a first joint to the effector and being connected at its other end by a second joint to an associated rocker, the rocker having a pivot axis, such that movement of a rocker leads to movement of the effector, and forces applied to an associated rocker lead to forces being applied to the effector, in which the movement of a rocker and forces applied by the rocker are controlled by an actuator, the actuator being arranged to apply a force to a point on an associated rocker away from the pivot axis of the rocker. The invention also relates to motion systems, and driving simulators including such motion generators, and to methods using such motion generators and systems.

    摘要: A driving experience simulation device includes at least five superimposed planes, the planes being in sequence from the bottom upwards: a first plane in turn including a first rotation plate; a second plane in turn including a second rotation plate; a third plane including a track-like structure for the sliding of an overlying sliding base; a fourth plane in turn including the sliding base, a fourth rotation plate integrally joined beneath the sliding base, a support supporting the fourth rotation plate and slidable in the structure; and a fifth plane including at least one cockpit the simulation device being characterised in that the track-like structure of the third plane is constrained to the underlying second rotation plate by way of a pin, the latter constraining the front smaller side of the rectangular profile of the track-like structure with the edge of the underlying rotation plate of the second plane.

    摘要: An orientable seating device includes a seat, the orientation of which can be controlled to dynamically affect a desired of yaw, pitch and roll. The seating device can be used to reorient and/or to simulate motion for a seated person for use with video games, virtual reality headsets or goggles, land, water, air or space vehicle simulation, or wireless airborne drones, for example. The device includes a seat mounted on a carriage, which is received in a carriage pedestal. Within the pedestal, a drive wheel positioned under the carriage supports and rotates the carriage by driving an outer sphere-shaped surface of the carriage. The drive wheel can be reoriented around a vertical axis such that any combination of pitch and roll can be achieved by rotating the wheel against the sphere-shaped surface. Yaw can be controlled by a rotatable platform upon which the carriage pedestal can be mounted.

    摘要: A motion simulator for imposing loads on an occupant, the simulator having: a movable carrier for supporting the occupant; a first drive mechanism for moving the carrier; multiple loading elements configured for attachment to the occupant when the occupant is supported by the carrier; a second drive mechanism for actuating the loading elements to apply loads to the occupant; and a controller, the controller being configured to implement a simulation of a motion event by: (i) estimating a motion of the carrier consistent with the motion event and controlling the first drive mechanism to cause the carrier to adopt the estimated motion; (ii) estimating a first load on the occupant consistent with the motion event; (iii) estimating a second load on the occupant due to the motion adopted by the carrier and (iv) controlling the second drive mechanism to cause the second drive mechanism to apply to the occupant a load that is the difference between the first estimated load and the second estimated load.
