Description

  The present invention relates to a controller in a stationary video game machine.

  A stationary video game machine uses a hardware resource consisting of a game machine main body in which a receiver and a controller as a terminal unit are unitized and input from the controller according to a program in software corresponding to this. It is an entertainment device that allows you to enjoy the progress of information synthesized with signals, and it is a software that can be replaced, and there are various types of games. There is a “shooting game”.

  Shooting game is a general term for a game format in which a target in a virtualized virtual world is sniped and destroyed by the operation of a controller. Among these shooting games, for example, a sensing function provided in the controller is used to There is a mechanism that detects the aiming point or the landing point on the screen, with the sensing window at the tip of the controller as a muzzle, and the detection axis emitted from the sensing window as the firing axis of the aiming ballistic As a result, there is a system (see Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2) in which snipers can be enjoyed from the player's point of view in the same manner as actual bullet shooting.

  On the other hand, there is an “air gun (quasi-air gun)” that actually fires simulated ammunition and enjoys it on the other side in the direction that makes shooting fun.

  In air guns, the main components and their operating procedures are based on real guns (existing guns), and the main structure is that of a simplified structure dedicated to the function of launching a simulated bullet (see Patent Document 1). In order to simulate the automatic operation at the time of launching a real bullet with a real gun, there is even a highly reproducible one (see Patent Document 2) in which a pseudo firing reaction can be obtained by using an original chain motion mechanism.

  In this way, while shooting games can be enjoyed by changing the situation in the video, air guns can be enjoyed by experiencing the reproducibility directly, and each has its own way of enjoying shooting. However, in shooting games, there is a limit to obtaining a powerful sense of reality from monotonous means of sound and video, while air guns have accidents due to misfires and jumps associated with the launch of simulated bullets. Because of the danger, it is essential to ensure safety, and there is such a troublesome preparation.

  In other words, as a way of shooting for the purpose of entertainment, based on a shooting game that can be enjoyed easily and safely, the controller incorporates air gun reproduction technology, making it a virtual game and imitating a real gun It is ideal to be able to experience real shooting by operating, which not only benefits the active shooting game enthusiast, but also contributes to the spread of further shooting games by attracting additional elements It will be a thing.

However, if the controller is dedicated to shooting games due to the intended spread, even if the product price is the same, compared to existing general-purpose controllers that can enjoy not only shooting games but also various game software. , And lack of convenience, it is expensive and commercially disadvantageous.
Therefore, the present invention has an object of providing an apparatus that can enjoy a realistic shooting while being compatible with the versatility of an existing controller.

  The present invention for realizing the object is a erection body for a controller of a stationary video game machine, which is a detachable connector with a fixing means for integrating the controller with an air gun. It is characterized in that it is equipped with a tuning mechanism that consists of a trigger operation of the air gun and a firing operation by the controller, and the tuning mechanism is an exhaust pressure discharged into the gun cavity upon the firing operation by the trigger operation of the air gun The installation body is integrated with the controller and the air gun by placing the appropriate parts of the controller and air gun in the vertical and horizontal directions, and restraining with the fixing means. The structure can be assembled.

  According to the present invention, the erection body is detachable with a fixing means, so that the controller can be removed, and it can be mounted while being suitable for the intended use of the controller without impairing versatility. If the controller and air gun are integrated, the controller can be operated by operating the air gun, and when used as a controller in a shooting game, the actual operation by following the actual operation of the air gun is optional. In addition to providing a feeling, it is possible to experience a real shooting that overlaps with the game image by using a synchronization mechanism that includes a trigger operation and a firing operation by a controller.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  Example 1 is a cross-sectional view of the left and right connecting portions of the erection body in a state where the present invention is practically mounted, and FIG. 1 shows the overall arrangement from the left side, and FIG. A) and (B), and FIGS. 3 and 4.

  As shown in the figure, the installation body in this example is a structure in which the right side plate 1 and the left side plate 2 are combined to form a paired enclosure, and on the inner side facing each other, the installation seat surface of the insulator 6 assembled as a tuning mechanism The controller 20 and the air gun 30 that are arranged with the same aiming direction based on the setting conditions of the tuning mechanism are formed.

  The tuning mechanism is composed of a projecting body 4, an insulator 6, and an urging spring 10, and is firstly located in the projecting body 4 and close to the inner diameter of a gun cavity 31 in the barrel 38 of the air gun 30. The rod is inserted from the muzzle side to the vicinity of the loading port (the end of the gun cavity in the direction opposite to the muzzle, not shown), and has an elongated shape that adds an exposed portion protruding from the muzzle. The exposed portion is provided with a fixed shaft 5 that intersects the axis of formation of the projecting shaft body 4.

  The insulator 6 is connected to the projecting shaft body 4 through a guide hole that comes into contact with the fixed shaft 5. The insulator 6 is a long insulator having a connection portion as a passive portion 8 in the longitudinal direction. The end portion on the opposite side of the passive portion 8 is an action portion 9 that comes into contact with the firing lever 21 on the controller 20 side, and in the middle from the passive portion 8 to the action portion 9, A support column 7 serving as a rotating shaft is provided, and this support column 7 is pivotally supported by a bearing hole in the installation seat surface of the installation body.

  Under such a setting, a forward movement from the loading port side to the muzzle side of the projectile body 4 is performed, and a rotational motion about the support shaft 7 of the insulator 6 connected by the passive unit 8 is performed. It is possible to press the firing lever 21 on the controller 20 side by the action portion 9 (= input operation), and the firing shaft body 4 is pushed back to the loading port side by the biasing spring 10 so that this can be repeated. The posture is set to the normal state, and the arrangement of the controller 20 and the air gun 30 in accordance with this condition is set.

  And, in the present example, the side plate on the left side 2 is used as a guide hole in the outer side of the seating area of the inner fitting element described above while the side plates to be installed are facing each other. In this case, a female screw having a concentric hole communicating with the guide hole is drilled, and a connector 11 which is a male screw fitted to the female screw is screwed from the guide hole side of the left side plate 2 as a fixing means. This is provided at an appropriate location so that the construction body and the internal fitting are integrated.

  The fixing means is not limited to this example. For example, as long as the uniting of the right side plate 1 and the left side plate 2 is realized, for example, a method of tightening from the periphery by a band-shaped restraining device or a construction body integrally with a plastic material It is also possible to adopt a method such as molding and mounting with the inner fitting using its recoverable elasticity.

  By the way, the air gun 30 in this example is assumed to operate the free bottom 34 in accordance with the above-mentioned “Patent Document 2”, and the close contact portion on the construction body side is limited to the frame 35 portion where the operation on the free bottom 34 is not hindered. In this range, a retaining wall that meshes with the side groove 36 and the transverse groove 37 formed on the frame 35 side is formed, and a contact wall for realizing the normal condition in the insulator 6 is arranged in front of the muzzle portion. In addition, a common port 3 through which the projecting body 4 passes is provided so as to meet predetermined conditions.

  The mounting-type shooting interlocking device configured as described above can be easily disassembled as well as mounted, and the air gun 30 together with the controller 20 can be individually used for its original purpose.

  On the other hand, since the controller 20 can be operated by operating the air gun 30 in the wearing state shown in the figure, it can be used as a controller for a shooting game, and grips the grip 32 against the receiver screen. The target on the screen is tracked by using the sensor 24 through the sensing window 22 with the posture where the finger is placed on the trigger 33, and the trigger 33 is arbitrarily pulled with the aiming as a sniper. The interlocking of the shooting function depends on the operation described next.

  First, in the process up to the launch, in conjunction with the operation of the trigger 33 on the air gun 30, compressed air or vaporized gas (from the liquefied state) enters the gun cavity 31 from the exhaust nozzle (not shown) brought into close contact with the loading port. The vaporized gas) is released, and the projectile body 4 in the gun cavity 31 is pushed and moved in the arrow Z direction by the expansion pressure.

  As a result, the insulator 6 connected to the projecting shaft body 4 with the guide hole in the passive portion 8 that comes into contact with the fixed shaft 5 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow Y with the support shaft 7 as a fulcrum. The firing lever 21 of the controller 20 is pushed by the action portion 9 formed on the side opposite to the electrode 8.

  The controller 20 is equipped with a control circuit 23 provided with a switch 24 that is set in conjunction with the sensor 24 and the firing lever 21, and the switch 25 that receives a pressure from the firing lever 21 closes the circuit 23, thereby 24 is activated to detect the landing point on the confrontation screen, the information is received by the game machine main body, and is synthesized and imaged according to the program.

  Through such a firing process, the internal pressure (compressed air discharged from the exhaust nozzle and the air discharged from the exhaust nozzle) is released from the middle of the discharge through a gap caused by the diameter difference between the gun cavity 31 and the projecting body 4. As the vaporization gas) is naturally released and digested, or with the forced release of the internal pressure, taking advantage of the next loading operation of retreating the exhaust nozzle in the air gun 30 and opening the loading port. Thus, the tuning mechanism returns to the normal state due to the repulsive force of the biasing spring 10 that resisted the internal pressure. The trigger 33 is ready to be fired by returning the trigger 33 to the normal state.

  In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the main structure as a tuning mechanism follows the previous example (the biasing spring 10 is not shown), and the action portion 9 and the linkage 16 in the lever 6 are used as the rotation axis. The controller 16 is connected to the connection pin 15 and the tip of the connector 16 is in contact with the firing lever 21 so that the controller 20 can be operated remotely in the insulator 6 provided around the muzzle portion. In addition, the insulator 6 can be laid radially in the radial direction from the radial axis, and the arrangement of the controller 20 can be made flexible accordingly. Various configurations are possible in consideration of comprehensive design and operability.

  In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the right side plate 1 and the left side plate 2 in the installation body are used as a means for preventing the air gun 30 from having the side groove 36 and the transverse groove 37 in the frame 35. By using the small screws 12 directed from the outside to the inside and securing them by fastening together with the frame 35 skin part, with such means, it is possible to cope with various air guns to be mounted.
