Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a large game machine with a simple structure and smoothly operate it by providing a cylindrical support base in contact with the outer periphery of a pair of rotation/revolution bases, a mount section supported by the support base, and a drive device rotating the rotation/revolution bases around its center line. CONSTITUTION:A pair of rotation/revolution bases 12 are kept in contact with the inner face of the peripheral wall 8 on one side and with a support base 2 on the other side. When one or both of the rotation/revolution bases 12 is driven by the power of a motor to be rotated in the same direction (f), the rotation/revolution bases 12 are revolved (g) along the inner face of a foundation base wall section 8, and the support base 2 is rotated (h) in the opposite direction to the rotating direction (f) of the rotation/revolution bases 12. The support base 2 is revolved (i) in conjunction with the revolution of the rotation/revolution bases 12. When the support base 2 is rotated and revolved, a swaying base 1 mounted on it undergoes six kinds of motion: longitudinal, vertical and lateral sways, rolling, pitching, and rotation around the vertical axis via the action of a hydraulic cylinder 3, and complex sways and rotary motion are applied to a swaying seat 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a rotary play device for giving passengers a simulated experience of a vehicle such as a ship or spaceship.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an example of a conventional rotary game device.

In the figure, a is the vehicle, b is the rotation table, C is the revolution table, arrow X is the direction of rotation, and arrow Y is the direction of revolution. In this device, a vehicle a on which a passenger rides is mounted on a rotation table on a revolution table C, and drives the revolution table and rotation table respectively, and rotates the rotation table at the same time as the revolution table C revolves. It is a mechanism that allows passengers to experience the revolution and rotation.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The conventional amusement device equipped with a rotating table and a revolving table shown in Fig. 4 is a small one that can seat several people. This increases the size of the facility and increases costs, making it uneconomical.

The present invention aims to provide a rotary game device that has a simple structure and can be increased in size.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems, and includes a base plate whose upper surface is formed in a conical shape with a gentle inclination angle;
A peripheral wall formed in a circular shape around the foundation and having an inner surface perpendicular to the upper surface of the foundation; a connection supported movably in any direction on the foundation and in contact with the inner surface of the peripheral wall at its outer periphery; a pair of cylindrical rotation and revolution tables, supported movably in any direction on the base, and a cylindrical support stand whose outer periphery contacts the outer periphery of the pair of rotation and revolution tables; The present invention relates to a rotary game device comprising a riding section supported above and a drive device for rotating the rotating and revolving table about its center line.

[Effect]

In the device of the present invention, when the rotation and revolution table is rotated by the drive device, the rotation and revolution table performs the above-mentioned rotation, and also rolls and revolves on the inner surface of the peripheral wall. Since the support base is in contact with a pair of connected rotation and revolution tables, it rotates and revolves in conjunction with the movement of the rotation and revolution tables. Since the riding section is provided on the support base, the person riding there can experience the rotation and revolution. Further, since the upper surface of the base is inclined, the rotating bodies stably contact each other at each contact portion due to their own weight, ensuring reliable force transmission and smooth operation.

Reference numeral 12a designates the outer peripheral portion of the rotation and revolution table 12, which is a mutually contacting portion, and is made of a coating material such as hard rubber having a large coefficient of friction.

Referring again to FIG. 1, 18a is a power supply rail provided on the upper surface of the base 7, 19a is a current collector provided on the lower surface of the support base, and these are connected to the hydraulic cylinder 3 provided on the upper surface of the support base 2. This is to collect power for operating hydraulic equipment and control devices (not shown) built into the support base. 22 is the peripheral wall 8

The lowercase letters in the Roman alphabet indicate the direction of force or motion.

The operation of the device having the structure described above will be described with reference to FIG. The rotation and revolution table 12 is pressed against the peripheral wall 8 by a force d in the outer circumferential direction on the base 7 due to the weight of the support stand 2 and a similar force e due to the weight of the rotation and revolution table 12 . When one or both of the rotation and revolution tables 12 are driven by the power of the electric motor so as to rotate in the same direction f, the rotation and revolution tables 12 revolve along the inner surface of the foundation wall 8 and at the same time rotate the support base 2. The revolution table 12 is rotated in a direction opposite to the rotation direction f. Furthermore, the support base 2 revolves in conjunction with the revolution g of the rotation and revolution table 12. The revolution i of the support base 2 acts effectively when the rotation f of the rotation and revolution base 12 is a low speed rotation.

When the support base 2 rotates and revolves around its axis, the shaking base l mounted on the top of the support base 2 undergoes back-and-forth shaking, vertical shaking, left-right shaking, and sideways shaking (rolling) due to the action of the hydraulic cylinder 3. ), pitching, and rotation around the vertical axis of the image to generate complex oscillations and rotational movements in the oscillating seat 4.
