MOTION-SIMULATOR MECHANISMS

摘要

A simulator mechanism has a simulator capsule [10] mounted on a platform [12] which provides a simulator operating plane. Three independent hydraulic rams [20] [24] and [26] are used to change the position of the simulator operating plane. The actuators [20] [24] and [26] are pivotally coupled at separate points on the platform [12]. The weight of the simulator capsule [10] is carried by the three actuators [20] [24] and [26]. Two of the actuators are positioned on a line perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of both the base plane and the simulator operating plane. The third actuator [20] is positioned at one end and on the longitudinal axis of the base plane. Restraining mechanisms [16] and [18] are in the form of A-frames.
