Description

Golf Simulation Putting System

The present invention relates to a golf simulation putting system, and more particularly, to a golf simulation putting system for hitting a golf ball while watching the background screen displayed on the front screen portion by the projector unit.

In general, golf is a sport in which a ball stopped on a field of a golf course is hit by a golf club one after another and put into a predetermined hole, and competes with the many and few strokes required to enter the hole.

The golf course consists of 18 holes, each of which is designed as a basic stroke of 3 to 5 strokes, and has a total of 70 to 73 strokes in total, and putting is important for putting 50% of the putts here. . The standard size of these golf courses is approximately 5,000 to 6,300 m in total length and 100 to 180 m in width, with a total area of at least 700,000 m 2. Each hole has a short hole (par 3 hole, male 229 m or less, female 192 m or less), medium hole (par 4 hole, male 230-430 m, female 193-366 m), long hole (par 5 hole) , Men 431 m or more, women 367 ~ 526 m).

These golf courses are laid out in large areas such as fields, hills, and forests with uneven terrain, and artificially create obstacles such as forests, valleys, ponds, and small mountains to increase the difficulty of the course.

On the other hand, beginners who are learning golf for the first time lack a sense of the distance and direction of the ball due to the force adjustment, so it is necessary to practice iron shots and puttings as well as enough tee shots before going to the actual field. It is common to do Accordingly, the number of indoor golf simulator driving ranges is rapidly increasing, which provides facilities that can secure a large amount of training in a short time at low cost.

In the indoor golf practice field, a number of golf simulators (also called screen golf machines) are installed so that the user climbs on a flat footrest and hits the golf ball while watching the front background screen projected by the projector on the front screen. The position measuring device detects the position of the golf ball, finds the landing point of the golf ball by a pre-programmed calculation formula or calculation table, and continues to hit again while looking at the screen displaying the background screen viewed from the landing point. You can play golf indoors.

On the screen, however, tee shots, iron shots, and wood shots play the same way as on the field, but in putting, the golf ball is rolled to the floor and placed at the bottom of the screen. There was a problem that the height of the hole cup is located in the center of the screen.

Therefore, the putting part of the screen golf is different from the situation in the actual golf course, and in order to make the conditions similar to the actual situation in the screen golf, the putting cup is mounted on the floor and the slope that changes frequently on the screen is reflected on the putting mat as it is in the field.

Then, the compressor 20 and the solenoid valve 56 of the elevating means 50 are operated in the control unit 20 according to the simulation result according to the player's play, so that the first, second and third pneumatic cylinders 51, 52, 53 are operated. Is configured to be controlled.

On the other hand, one side of the solenoid valve 56 may be provided with a regulator (not shown) for adjusting the pressure and the like.

5 is a view for explaining the first hole cup opening and closing part of the golf simulation putting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 5 (a), when the player performs a long distance hitting action such as a tee shot, an iron shot, a wood shot, or the like in a simulation, the lifting means 50 may be fitted to the opened and closed hole cup. The opening / closing portion 36 is moved upward to close the first hole cup portion 34.

In addition, even when the player makes a long putt of 3M or more in addition to the hitting action of the driver shot, the iron shot, and the wood shot in the simulation, the elevating means 50 moves the first hole cup opening / closing portion 36 to the first to form the first hole cup portion 34. To close.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 5 (b), when the player puts the golf ball on the green in the simulation and makes a putt shot, when the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup is 2M or less, the lifting means 50 causes the first hole cup. The opening / closing portion 36 is moved downward to open the first hole cup portion 34. On the other hand, when the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup at the time of putting more than 2M, the second hole cup portion 44 (shown in Figure 2) is configured to open.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail the operation of the golf simulation putting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

6 is a schematic block diagram of a golf simulation putting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, in the golf simulation putting system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a player who wants to practice golf first selects one of golf course images on the screen unit 16 by manipulating the control unit 20. . Then, after placing the golf ball on the hitting plate 10, if the tee shot, the control unit 20 calculates the golf ball falling position by the speed and direction of the golf ball detected by the detection unit 12 The flying state of the golf ball is displayed on the screen unit 16. After that, when the position where the golf ball falls is displayed on the screen unit 16, the player puts the golf ball on the hitting plate unit 10 and plays the iron shot, the wood shot, and the like.

When the golf ball reaches the green area in the golf course image, the control unit 20 displays the distance to the hole cup on the screen unit 16 and displays a guide message for putting on the screen unit 16. At this time, when the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup in the simulation is 3M or more, the putting is put on the screen, and when the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup is 2M or less, the control unit 20 lowers the first hole cup opening / closing portion 36 to open the first hole cup portion 34. If the distance is greater than 2M and less than 3M, the second hole cup opening and closing portion 46 is lowered to form the second hole cup portion 44. Herein, the distance can be variously adjusted according to the taste of the player. Thereafter, the control unit 20 controls the compressor 54 of the elevating means 50 in accordance with the inclination of the green on the simulation to match the inclination of the upper plate 32 with the inclination of the green formed on the screen.

Thereafter, when the distance between the golf ball and the hole cup in the simulation is 2 M or less, the player putts a golf ball supplied to the hitting plate part 10 so that the golf ball rides on the top plate 32 of the green part 30. 1 hole cup 34 to enter.

If the distance is greater than 2M and less than 3M, the golf ball supplied to the hitting plate part 10 is putt shot, and the golf ball rides on the upper plate 32 of the green part 30 to the second hole cup part. Enter (44).

The player who has completed the putt continues the next game in the simulation.

As described so far, the golf simulation system according to the present invention creates a situation similar to the case of playing golf on the green of the golf course when putting, so that even in screen golf, the hole cup mounted on the floor as in the field and the slope that changes frequently Therefore, since it is possible to putt like a practice, there is an advantage to cover the shortcomings of the existing system to see and put the hole cup in the center of the top of the screen.

In addition, the golf simulation putting system according to the present invention is provided with a hole cup portion at different distances, there is an advantage that can practice the hole-in similar to the actual field even in a relatively small area of space.

While the invention has been described in detail in the foregoing embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations are possible within the spirit of the invention, and such modifications and variations belong to the appended claims.
