Description

  The present invention relates to a two-wheeled vehicle simulation apparatus used for traffic safety education, games, physical fitness training, and the like.

  In order to simulate the driving of airplanes, automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, etc., simulation apparatuses corresponding to each vehicle have been proposed, and some of them have been put into practical use.

  In a two-wheeled vehicle simulation device (see, for example, Patent Document 1), it is preferable to display a traveling landscape that changes according to the simulated traveling speed in the forward direction so that the sense of reality is further improved. By the way, if the display device is provided not only in the front but also in the left and right side positions to display the left and right scenes, a more realistic driving situation is realized.

  In order to ensure right and left confirmation as safety education and training, especially when checking left and right at intersections with poor visibility, it is enforced to move the upper body forward to ensure safety confirmation.

  From such a background, the inventor of the present application has proposed a two-wheeled vehicle simulation apparatus capable of displaying left and right scenes in a small and simple configuration in Patent Document 2. In the two-wheeled vehicle simulation device described in Patent Document 2, the image of the side display unit provided on the left and right sides is not visually recognized from the first viewpoint of the boarding position, and is visually recognized from the second viewpoint ahead of the first viewpoint. And is particularly suitable for safety education and training for confirming left and right safety.

  In the two-wheeled vehicle simulation device described in Patent Document 2, the side display portions provided on the left and right are structures unique to the two-wheeled vehicle simulation device, and at least are currently designed as dedicated products.

  On the other hand, the main display unit is preferably a general monitor as a basic function of displaying an image. However, since the main display unit is used in combination with the side display unit, the side display unit is fixed. Tools and fixing strength are required, and it is difficult to apply a general-purpose monitor as it is.

  Also, if a general-purpose monitor is to be applied, there are many types of monitors. Therefore, it is desirable that monitors having various shapes can be used while maintaining an appropriate positional relationship with the side display unit.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of such a problem. A motorcycle simulation apparatus in which a general-purpose product can be applied as a main display unit while eliminating design restrictions between the main display unit and the side display unit. The purpose is to provide.

And a main display unit that displays a pair of left and right side scene units that are shielded from the first viewpoint, and the side scene unit are projected via optical means, and a display image is displayed from the first viewpoint. A pair of left and right side display portions that are not visually recognized and from which a display image is visually recognized from a second viewpoint ahead of the first viewpoint, a frame body that is provided so as to surround the main display section, and at least the frame A back plate that is connected to two opposite sides of the body and fixes the back surface of the main display; and a side display fixing means that is provided on the frame and fixes the side display. It is characterized by.

  In this way, when the side display unit is attached to the frame, there is no direct connection between the main display unit and the side display unit, so there is no mutual design restriction. Even when changing the part type, only the frame should be changed to the corresponding one. In addition, the main display unit does not require strength for fixing the side display unit, and a general-purpose product can be applied.

  A display unit stand that supports the frame body may be provided, and a part of the simulated motorcycle may be fixed to the display unit stand. Thus, by fixing the simulated motorcycle and the display unit stand, the stability of both is improved, and the main display unit is positioned with reference to the simulated motorcycle.

  The frame includes a pair of upper and lower horizontal bars connected to the back plate, and a pair of vertical bars connected to left and right ends of the horizontal bar, the vertical bars being the side display unit fixing means. And may be slid and fixed in the left-right direction with respect to the horizontal bar. In this way, the vertical bar can be slid and fixed in the left-right direction, so that it can be applied universally even when the size of the main display unit is changed, and the fixing of the side display unit is as follows. The side fixing portion can be arranged at an appropriate position by applying the side display portion fixing means as it is.

  According to the two-wheeled vehicle simulation device of the present invention, since the main display unit and the side display unit are attached to the frame body, there is no connection point between the main display unit and the side display unit, so that the mutual design is performed. No more restrictions. In addition, the main display unit does not need to be strong enough to fix the side display unit, and a general-purpose product can be applied.

The vehicle traveling state, the walking state of the pedestrian, etc. are displayed as a signal, and the image reflecting the color and operation is displayed as an image of the vehicle, the pedestrian, etc.

  Next, the mirror box 84L of the display unit 80 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the mirror box 84L is obtained through the magnifying lens (optical means) 214 for magnifying the image displayed in the left end display area 202L and the image in the left end display area 202L, and the magnifying lens 214. And a mirror (optical means) 210 for reflecting the image in the direction of the eye point EP2. The magnifying lens 214 is a Fresnel lens made of acrylic resin or the like, and has a prism with a fine pitch and a substantially triangular cross section, and is formed in a thin square plate shape.

  The mirror box 84L has a resin box shape, covers the left end display region 202L, and holds the mirror 210 obliquely on the wide side 220 that holds the magnifying lens 214 and the front side of the wide portion 220 as viewed from the driver. The mirror wall 222, the shielding wall 224 that shields all of the mirror 210 and substantially all of the left end display area 202L from the eye point EP1 on the near side of the mirror wall 222, and bends in the direction of the mirror 210 from the inner end of the wide portion 220 Inner wall 226. A window 228 for exposing the mirror 210 from the eye point EP2 is provided between the shielding wall 224 and the inner wall 226. Fixing portions 230 and 232 for fixing to the box fixing portions 90L and 92L are provided at the upper and lower portions of the mirror box 84L, and can be fixed by a predetermined bolt.

  The mirror box 84L is entirely covered with a resin wall except for the window 228, is not affected by ambient light, and the visibility of the image of the mirror 210 from the eye point EP2 is good. The outer surface of the shielding wall 224 is visible from the eye point EP1, and a message (for example, a letter “Look”) or a symbol (for example, an arrow) that prompts the user to look into the window 228 is written in this portion. Good. Since the mirror box 84R has a symmetrical structure with the mirror box 84L, detailed description thereof is omitted. As the mirror box 84R, the same one as the mirror box 84L may be used upside down.

  Next, the frame 86 of the display unit 80 will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the frame 86 connects a pair of upper and lower horizontal bars 250a and 250b and a pair of left and right vertical bars 252a and 252b surrounding the monitor 82, and the horizontal bar 250a and the horizontal bar 250b. And a back plate 88. The back plate 88 is stable as long as at least the horizontal bar 250a and the horizontal bar 250b are connected to each other, but may be further connected to the vertical bars 252a and 252b.

  The back plate 88 is substantially trapezoidal in a side view so as to stably hold the back surface of the monitor 82, and has a plurality of stand attachment holes 256 for attaching to the stays 70 f and 70 g and a back surface of the monitor 82. A plurality of monitor mounting holes 258. A plurality of screw holes 260 corresponding to the monitor mounting holes 258 are provided on the back surface of the monitor 82.

  The monitor mounting hole 258 and the plurality of screw holes 260 conform to the VESA standard (Video Electronics Standard Association) (for example, VESA 75, VESA 100, etc.). In FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, only four corners are shown with respect to the monitor mounting hole 258 so as not to be complicated.

  As described above, the box fixing portions 90L, 90R, 92L, and 92R for fixing the mirror boxes 84L and 84R are provided near the left and right ends of the horizontal bars 250a and 250b. Each of the box fixing portions 90L, 90R, 92L and 92R is composed of two bolt holes.

  The frame 86 is a frame structure that can hold the monitor 82 universally and surely by the pair of monitor mounting holes 258 based on the VESA standard of the back plate 88 and surrounds the periphery of the monitor 82. A monitor 82 can be held. The basic components of the frame 86 are horizontal bars 250a and 250b, vertical bars 252a and 252b, and a back plate 88, which are simple and inexpensive.

  According to the bicycle simulation apparatus 10 configured as described above, by attaching the mirror boxes 84L and 84R to the frame 86, the weight is applied to the display unit stand 70 via the back plate 88 of the frame 86, and the monitor 82 Is not heavy. As described above, since there is no direct connection between the monitor 82 and the mirror boxes 84L and 84R, there is no mutual design restriction. Thus, for example, even when the model of the monitor 82 is changed, if it is a VSEA standard, it can be attached as it is, or only the frame 86 may be changed to a corresponding one, and it is designed exclusively for the bicycle simulation apparatus 10. The mirror boxes 84L and 84R can be used as they are. In addition, the monitor 82 does not require a fixture and fixing strength for fixing the mirror boxes 84L and 84R, and a general-purpose monitor can be applied as it is.

  FIG. 7 shows a frame body 270 as a modified example of the frame body 86. In the frame 270, the configuration of the back plate 88 is as described above, and the slide support portions 272 are provided at the connection portions between the horizontal bars 250a and 250b and the vertical bars 252a and 252b, respectively. The slide support portion 272 is provided at the left and right ends of the horizontal bars 250a and 250b. The upper and lower ends of the horizontal bars 250a and 250b are formed with bent portions 274 that are bent by 90 ° so as to be inserted into the slide support portion 272. The bent portions 274 are provided with box fixing portions 90L, 90R, 92L, and 92R. ing. The slide support portion 272 is slid and fixed in the left-right direction along the horizontal bars 250a and 250b. The slide support portion 272 can be fixed easily with respect to the horizontal bars 250a and 250b by operating a fastener 275 (such as a thumbscrew). The horizontal bars 250a and 250b may have a hollow structure so that the bent portion 274 can be inserted.

  According to the frame 270, when a large monitor 82a is applied as shown in FIG. 7, the bent portion 274 is relatively protruded from the slide support portion 272, and as shown in FIG. Is applied, the bent portion 274 may be relatively retracted from the slide support portion 272. Thus, by adopting a configuration in which the vertical bars 252a and 252b can be slid and fixed in the left-right direction, it can be applied universally even when the size of the monitor 82 changes, and the mirror boxes 84L and 84R can be fixed. As for the mirror boxes 84L and 84R, the box fixing portions 90L, 90R, 92L and 92R can be applied as they are, and the mirror boxes 84L and 84R can be arranged at appropriate positions.

  Next, the left / right confirmation process performed in the simulation will be described with reference to FIG. This left / right confirmation process is a process performed in the footwear mode, the walking mode, etc., for acquiring the left / right safety confirmation operation. For example, it is wide from a narrow alley where both sides are “塀”. The situation is set so that the left and right sides of the street are confirmed in a simulated situation at an intersection that goes out on the street. In such a situation setting, the mirror box 84L and the mirror box 84R have images in the left-right direction as viewed from slightly ahead of the assumed current position (for example, a distance corresponding to the distance between EP1 and EP2). May be displayed. In other words, it is preferable to display an image indicating the vehicle traveling situation in the left-right direction on a wide street as seen from the front rather than the image of “塀” directly beside the driver.

  First, in step S1, an output “Please check left and right before starting running” is performed. This guidance may be omitted if it is performed by an advanced user, and the left and right confirmation may be performed spontaneously.

  Here, the driver is required to perform left-right confirmation using the mirror box 84L and the mirror box 84R. Each display image in the mirror box 84L and the mirror box 84R is not visually recognized from the eye point EP1, but moves from the saddle 24 and moves the upper body slightly forward from the handle 28 to bring the head to the position of the eye point EP2. Sometimes you can see. That is, an action is required as if the upper body is moved from an actual narrow alley and the left and right of the wide street are confirmed, and the left and right safety confirmation operations can be reliably acquired.

  In step S2, an image obtained by adding an image of the vehicle 300 (see FIG. 1) to the left and right background scenes is displayed on the mirror box 84L and the mirror box 84R. As the vehicle 300 to be displayed is traveling, for example, an image of the front surface of the vehicle 300 that gradually increases is displayed on the mirror box 84R, and then an image of a side surface of the vehicle 300 that passes from right to left is displayed in the central display area 200. In addition, an image of the rear surface of the vehicle 300 that gradually decreases may be displayed on the mirror box 84L. Such display of the vehicle 300 is continued within the time counted by the timer process in step S9, and one or more vehicles 300 are displayed.

  In step S3, it is confirmed whether the mat switch 18 is on or off. If it is off, the process proceeds to step S4, and if it is on, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S4, a warning “Please stop and check left and right” is output, and the process proceeds to step S5.

  In step S5, it is confirmed whether or not the simulated traveling speed V based on the signal from the speed pickup 54 is zero. When V> 0, the process proceeds to step S6, and when V = 0, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S6, a warning that “the vehicle is still passing through, so please do not exit” is output, and the process proceeds to step S7. In this case, outputting a horn simulated sound from the speaker 94 is more effective as a caution.

  In step S7, the operation amount of the brake lever 52 based on the signal from the rotation sensor 60 is checked. If the brake operation is not performed, the process proceeds to step S8, and if the brake operation is performed, the process proceeds to step S9. In step S8, a warning “Please apply brakes and stop reliably” is output, and the process proceeds to step S9.

  In step S9, the elapsed time during which the vehicle 300 is displayed is checked by a timer. When the specified time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S2 to continue displaying the vehicle 300, and when the specified time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S10. The specified time may be changed appropriately using random numbers or the like.

  In step S10, the vehicle 300 is deleted from the images displayed on the mirror box 84L and the mirror box 84R. At this time, since it is unnatural if the displayed vehicle 300 is suddenly deleted, the display of the vehicle 300 displayed at that time may be continued until it runs away, and then the display of the new vehicle 300 may be stopped. .

  In step S11, it is confirmed whether or not the simulated traveling speed V based on the signal from the speed pickup 54 is zero. When V = 0, the process waits, and when V = 0, the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S12, the elapsed time from when the vehicle 300 is deleted from the image in the process of step S10 is recognized by a predetermined timer, and output corresponding to the timer is performed. In other words, when this elapsed time is within the prescribed time, it outputs “Your right and left safety check was done correctly before driving.” If it is longer than the prescribed time, “Is you looking at the left and right? ”Is not coming.” And prompts to start driving. After the end of step S12, the left / right safety confirmation process shown in FIG. 9 is completed, and the process proceeds to another mode such as a travel mode. In such a left-right safety confirmation process, automatic scoring may be performed according to a predetermined rule based on the attention process in steps S4, S6, and S8. Depending on the design conditions, some or all of steps S3 to S9 may be omitted.

  The two-wheeled vehicle simulation device according to the present invention can be applied to a motorcycle simulation device, a game, and physical fitness training.
