薄型化を可能にする２軸湾曲揺動メカニズム

抄録

Various researches are conducted to reduce the influence of winds and waves for safer work environment on offshore operations and to negate the tilt due to acceleration of vehicle for improved comfortableness. Conventional researches have adopted active mechanism like six-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism that absorbs the sway by constantly keeping its motion base horizontal to suppress such influences. However, current swing machines require vast areas to be installed since their swing mechanisms are large and their bottom structures are thick. Here, we propose a new swing mechanism “Omni-Swing” which is relatively thin and can be applied to curved surfaces. The mechanism is embodied to a real machine and experiments are conducted to verify its basic characteristic in this paper.
