A MOTION PLATFORM AND A SIMULATOR

摘要

The invention relates to a motion platform comprising a mounting frame being a) supported by at least three supports and b) movable with respect to a base frame. According to the invention, some supports are hingedly connected to the mounting frame or the base frame so as to allow the distance between at least a part of the mounting frame and the base frame to be changed. The supports allow for tilting movement and at least the supports hingedly connected to the first frame portion are movably connected with their distal ends to the a frame. There are guidings so as to allow the distal end of the supports to be slideably movable and the movable connection further allows for a first hinging movement. The movable connections and the hinged connections between the supports and one of the base frame and the mounting frame cooperate so as to restrict movement of the mounting frame with respect to the base frame to movements that involve hinging of a support with respect to the frame. There are actuators provided for changing the distance between the mounting frame and the base frame.
