DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a racing simulator of the present invention. A real racing car 1 is mounted by fixing a front wheel 3 and a rear wheel 4 in a floating manner on a rectangular base frame 2. Brackets 7 fixed to the base frame 2 are erected on both sides of the front body 6 of the racing car in front of the driver's seat 5.
A television monitor 8 is attached between the two and faces the driver's seat 5.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the racing simulator. A coin box 9 is attached to one side of the television monitor 8 on a bracket 7a provided upright on the base frame 2, and the coin box 9 is attached to the bracket 7. Although not shown, a coin slot and a coin return port are provided toward the driver's seat 5, and a coin storage box (not shown) is housed in the coin box 9.

Further, front speakers 10 attached to brackets 8a of the TV monitor are attached to both sides of the TV monitor 8 toward the driver's seat 5.
Further, rear speakers 11 are attached to the left and right sides of an inverted U-shaped steel frame portion 12 behind the driver's seat toward the driver's seat 5, and front and rear two front speakers 10 and rear speakers 1 are provided to the driver's seat 5 from four sides. Surrounding. The carburetor used at the time of the racing car is removed and the woofer speaker 14 is attached to the air duct 13 beside the driver's seat of the racing car 1.

A power supply unit 16 and an IC board 17 for controlling image and sound generation are housed in the base frame 2 below the rear wing 15 of the racing car. IC board 17
Is input with a driving signal associated with the driving operation of the driver, and a video signal is generated which is displayed on the TV monitor 8 in response to the input signal and is displayed on the TV monitor 8. At the same time, a sound effect is output to the front speaker 10, the rear. The speaker 11 outputs the bass sound and the woofer speaker 14 outputs the bass sound.

A blower box 19 is attached to the center side surface of the base frame of the front wheel 3, and a blower motor 20 is provided inside the blower box 19 to keep a certain distance from the television monitor 8. This is because the television monitor 8 is designed to prevent the screen from being magnetized and discolored due to the influence of the magnetic field of the blower motor 18. The flexible blower duct 20 is pulled out from the blower box 19, and the air ejection port 22 of the blower duct 20 is fixed between the front wing 21 of the racing car 2 and the TV monitor 8 and the front body 6 toward the driver's seat 5. For fixing, the air ejection port 22 is attached to the bracket 7 by using the snap ring 23. The blower motor 18 is driven at the same time as the operation is started, and sends a fixed amount of wind on the surface of the front body 6 toward the driver who is driving.

The steering signals are a steering signal of the steering wheel 5a, a transmission switching signal, an accelerator signal and a brake signal. Since the front wheel 3 and the rear wheel 4 are floated on the base frame 2 of the racing car 1, when the steering wheel 5a is turned, the front wheels are oriented in that direction. Normally, the steering signal is provided with a gear on the rotating shaft of the steering wheel 5a, and the rotation angle is detected by the volume. Here, the steering signal is detected by the rotation width of the steering wheel 5a based on the swing of the front wheels to the left and right. The shift lever switching signal is sent to the IC board every time a shift is performed from the detection switch attached to the shift lever. Similarly, the accelerator signal and the brake signal are also detected by the detection switch attached to the accelerator mechanism and the brake mechanism.

Although a racing car has been described as an example in the above description, the present invention is not limited to a racing car, and if the vehicle is a vehicle in which the driver receives wind, the open car,
It can be a bike, bicycle, truck or plane. Further, although the blower motor always sends a fixed amount of air, the blown air amount may be changed in conjunction with each other on the basis of the traveling speed or the blowing information prepared in advance according to the traveling path. Although the air ejection port is located at the front of the driver, the air ejection port is not limited to the front but may be provided at the front diagonal part or in the lateral direction. In this case, it is possible to express a diagonal wind or a strong cross wind, If you use it properly according to the condition, you will feel more realistic. In this case, the wind from each direction may be selectively provided with a branch portion in the air duct and the branch portion may be switched by a switching signal from the control circuit. It is possible to use them properly by controlling. Further, if the air blower box is an air purifying device or an air conditioner, a cool and comfortable air can be blown to the driver to make the driver feel comfortable and refreshed.

[0013]

As described above, the moving image of the running state is displayed on the TV monitor in front of the driver's seat of the racing car, and coins are inserted into the coin box to switch the running image to the screen just before the start of the race. Then, at the same time when the start button is pressed, the blower motor is driven to blow a running wind from the air duct jet to the operator, a moving image of the running state is displayed on the TV monitor in front of the eyes, and running sounds are emitted from the four speakers. Heavy bass is transmitted from the woofer speaker to the entire seat, giving the driver the feeling of actually traveling on the course. Furthermore, by using the air from the air purifier or air conditioner as the jet air, you can take a shower of cool and comfortable air, which makes you feel refreshed and helps you to refresh.

Since a racing car uses a real car body, it is mechanical and has a heavy feeling. Furthermore, a real engine is installed in the engine rule, and when you sit in the driver's seat, the smell of oil etc. The meters and levers in the seats are real things, so I can drive in a very realistic sensation of reality, and I am not interested.
