COSMONAUT RUNNING AND WALKING SIMULATOR

摘要

FIELD: simulators for training cosmonauts (astronauts) under weightlessness conditions in spacecraft. SUBSTANCE: proposed simulator has bandage which is put on cosmonaut s waist, not-extensible braces whose ends are secured on bandage and thrown over cosmonaut s shoulders and two loading members secured to bandage at one end and to bandage strip at other end; bandage strip is placed between cosmonaut s feet. Ends of strip are secured at the front and at the rear of bandage. Loading members are located at the right and at the left along cosmonaut s thighs. Simulator has two flexible members connected with bandage strip at one end and with ends of loading members at other end. Flexible members are secured to support on both sides placed under cosmonaut s foot and provided with length control units. Loading members are provided with units for forming power characteristic with force regulator. EFFECT: reduced dynamic loading on spacecraft body; reduced mass and power requirements; enhanced maintainability. 15 dwg
