FIG. 9 illustrates a penetration type screen for screen golf according to another embodiment of the present invention. - An embodiment of a penetration type screen for screen golf according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- First, a screen golf system including a penetration type screen according to the present invention is schematically described as follows with reference to
FIG. 1 . - As shown in
FIG. 1 , the screen golf system is installed in a screen golf booth 1 having a specific size of space defined by side walls. - A penetration type screen S is attached to a front side of the screen golf booth 1 and a
projector 210 that is operated by agolf simulator 200 is provided to project a virtual golf simulation image including a golf course, a background, a moving image of a golf ball, and the like onto the penetration type screen S. - If a golfer steps up to a
swing plate 100 provided at the bottom of the booth 1 and strikes a golf ball placed on agolf mat 110 with a golf club, the struck golf ball flies toward the penetration type screen S. The golf ball penetrates through the penetration type screen S. Movement of the struck golf ball is detected by asensor 220 and thegolf simulator 200 implements the detected movement of the struck golf ball as an image and projects the image on the penetration type screen S through theprojector 210. - The penetration type screen S is basically formed of a plurality of screen elements that are arranged side by side and is implemented such that the struck golf ball passes between screen elements.
- A buffer is provided at a rear side of the penetration type screen S such that the penetrated golf ball is buffered and drops to a floor of the screen golf booth 1. The golf ball which has dropped to the floor of the screen golf booth 1 may be conveyed and provided back to the
swing plate 100 through a ball conveyor (not shown) provided inside the screen golf booth 1. - The penetration type screen S is described below in more detail with reference to
FIGS. 2 to 7 . - As shown in
FIG. 2 , the penetration type screen S for screen golf according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed of a plurality ofscreen elements 10 arranged side by side. - Two
frames 20 are provided respectively at upper and lower end portions of the plurality ofscreen elements 10 so as to support the array ofscreen elements 10. - Each of the
frames 20 may be provided as a single integrated frame that supports the entirety of the plurality ofscreen elements 10 and may also be provided as a plurality ofsub-frames frame 20 is divided as shown inFIG. 2 . - In the case in which the
frame 20 is divided into a plurality of sub-frames (such assub-frames sub-frames 21 supports partial screen elements (where a combination of the sub-frame and the partial screen elements supported by the sub-frame is referred to as a “sub-penetration-type screen”), the penetration type screen may be configured by arranging a plurality of sub-penetration-type screens side by side such that, when part of the penetration type screen has a problem or needs to be washed, it is possible to separate and replace a sub-penetration-type screen corresponding to the part, achieving ease of work. - On the other hand, a conventional penetration type screen is configured by arranging a plurality of slats side by side, forming gaps between the slats through which a golf ball can pass. The conventional penetration type screen has a problem in that, as golf balls repeatedly pass through the gaps between the slats, the sizes of the gaps are gradually increased, deteriorating the external appearance, and also has a problem in that an image is not properly projected on the penetration type screen due to the increased sizes of the gaps.
- The penetration type screen S according to the present invention is characterized in that the
screen elements 10 are arranged side by side such that thescreen elements 10 at least partially overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle. - That is, the
screen elements 10 are mounted, overlapping each other, such that a part of one screen element 10-1 overlaps a part of another screen element 10-2 and a part of the screen element 10-2 overlaps a part of another screen element 10-3 as shown inFIG. 3 . Here, eachscreen element 10 is mounted inclined at a specific angle. - It is preferable that the overlapping portion of each of the
screen elements 10 not exceed a half of one screen element and that portions of thescreen elements 10, each of which is smaller than a half of one screen element, overlap each other. -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the arranged screen elements shown in FIG. 2 taken along line I-I inFIG. 2 . InFIG. 3 , illustration of the frame part is omitted. - It is preferable that, as shown in
FIG. 3 , the direction of light of theprojector 210 be taken into consideration when the plurality ofscreen elements 10 is arranged (or installed) such that thescreen elements 10 overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle. - That is, when the
projector 210 projects an image obliquely from one side as shown inFIG. 1 , light of theprojector 210 travels obliquely toward the penetration type screen as shown inFIG. 3 . - Here, if each of a plurality of screen elements is arranged to be inclined such that a front surface of the screen element faces incident light from the projector as shown in
FIG. 4 , shadows D are created by light from the projector such that thick stripes are viewed over the entirety of the penetration type screen, which may cause simulation images not to be smoothly viewed. - Accordingly, it is possible to prevent shadows from being created by light from the projector by arranging (or installing) the screen elements such that light of the projector is directed toward side surfaces of the overlapping portions of the screen elements as shown in
FIG. 3 . - In addition, by arranging the screen elements such that the screen elements overlaps each other, taking into consideration the direction of light of the projector as shown in
FIG. 3 , it is possible to significantly reduce the thicknesses of stripes viewed on the penetration type screen and to allow the stripes to appear uniform, thereby allowing the user not to feel visual discomfort. - If a golf ball is struck toward the penetration type screen in which the plurality of screen elements is arranged such that the screen elements overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle, the struck golf ball passes through the penetration type screen while opening an overlapping portion of screen elements. The opened screen elements immediately return to the original state. Here, since each of the screen elements is formed of spandex, the screen elements can elastically return to an original state and can easily be kept in the original shape even when a golf ball repeatedly passes through the screen elements.
- Conventionally, elasticity is given to a plurality of slats, which are arranged side by side to constitute a penetration type screen, by manufacturing each of the slats using non-elastic cloth and providing a number of means for providing elasticity to end portions of the slats. However, since the slats are lacking in elasticity, there is a problem in that it is not possible to prevent the sizes of the gaps between slats from being easily increased as golf balls repeatedly pass between the slats over a long period of time and there is also a risk that the portions of the slats, which are formed of cloth, may be separated from the portions thereof which provide elasticity.
- The penetration type screen according to the present invention overcomes such problems by forming each of the plurality of screen elements of spandex and improves stability (or reliability) by performing fire retardant processing on the spandex material to prevent the spandex material from burning.
- Specifically, after fire retardant processing is performed on spandex thread, the fire-retardant-processed spandex thread and fire-retardant-processed silicon may be used to manufacture each screen element or may be used to manufacture a single large screen and then to cut the single large screen into screen elements.
- On the other hand, as golf balls repeatedly pass between the plurality of
screen elements 10 which are arranged such that each screen element overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle as shown inFIG. 3 , the overlapping state of each screen element may not be maintained. - For example, as golf balls repeatedly pass between the plurality of screen elements over a long period of time, a part of one screen element which should overlap another screen element such that the part of the one screen element is located behind the other screen element may be wrongly arranged in front of the other screen element, which may cause the screen elements to be viewed as being partially dislocated when viewed over the entire penetration type screen.
- Accordingly, it is more preferable that a component for performing a function to maintain the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements in which the screen elements overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle be provided.
FIGS. 5 to 8 illustrate an example in which such a function is performed through a frame that supports the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements. -
FIG. 5 illustrates an example in which a support guide portion supports the arrangement of the plurality of screen elements andFIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of thesub-frames FIG. 1 taken along line I-I inFIG. 1 .FIG. 7 is an exploded view of thesub-frames FIG. 6 andFIG. 8 is a perspective view of the sub-frames shown inFIG. 7 . - As shown in
FIGS. 5 to 8 , it is preferable thatsupport guide portions frame 20 so as to support the arrangement of the plurality ofscreen elements 10 in which thescreen elements 10 overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle. - Each of the
support guide portions screen elements 10, in which thescreen elements 10 overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle, so as to allow the arrangement of the plurality ofscreen elements 10 to be maintained. - That is, the
support guide portions - As shown in
FIG. 5 , theframe 20 may include a first frame portion 20-1 which is arranged at a front side of the plurality ofscreen elements 10 and a second frame portion 20-2 which corresponds to the first frame portion 20-1 and is arranged at a rear side of the plurality ofscreen elements 10 and is coupled to the first frame portion 20-1 to support the plurality ofscreen elements 10. - That is, the
frame 20 may be constructed by coupling the first frame portion 20-1 and the second frame portion 20-2 to each other so as to support all screen elements. - A first
support guide portion 31 having a shape corresponding to the arrangement of the plurality ofscreen elements 10, in which thescreen elements 10 overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle, may be formed on the first frame portion 20-1 and a secondsupport guide portion 32 having a shape corresponding to the arrangement of the plurality ofscreen elements 10, in which thescreen elements 10 overlap each other and are each inclined at a specific angle, may be formed on the second frame portion 20-2 and the first frame portion 20-1 and the second frame portion 20-2 may be coupled to each other to allow the firstsupport guide portion 31 and the secondsupport guide portion 32 to support the arrangement of the plurality ofscreen elements 10. -
