When the displacement mechanism 60c is displaced downward according to the rotation of
Accordingly, the mounting mechanism 30a is also pushed down. At this time, the mounting mechanism 30a moves toward the front end of the slide rail formed on the bracket 29a. Thus, only the front portion of the body frame 50 can be displaced downward, and the simulated motorcycle 3 can be inclined so as to sink. In addition, such behavior simulates the operation of the front fork sinking in response to an actual motorcycle deceleration, that is, a brake operation.

As described above, in the pitch movable mechanism 22, the front part and the rear part of the body frame 50 can be moved up and down independently.
Since the support point with the front part moves, not only the vertical movement but also the pitch movement close to the actual behavior of the motorcycle can be given as described above. For example, it is possible to simulate a forward-backward bending behavior such as “lift” or “sink” that occurs during acceleration and deceleration in an actual motorcycle.

B. Next, an electrical configuration of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this figure, reference numeral 80 denotes the various sensors described above, which are mounted on the simulated two-wheeled vehicle 3 and detect a steering operation of a passenger;
Various switches for simulating an actual driving situation. The various switches include, for example, a kill switch, a turn signal switch, an ignition switch, and a horn switch. 81 is a host computer. The host computer 81 generates drive signals for controlling the roll, pitch, and yaw movements in accordance with detection signals / switch operation signals supplied from various sensors and the switch 80, and based on the detection signals. The running information of the simulated motorcycle 3 is generated. The traveling information is composed of data such as the traveling position coordinates, the traveling speed, and the traveling direction of the simulated motorcycle 3 (hereinafter, abbreviated as the own vehicle). The detection signals supplied from the various sensors are once amplified by the amplifier AMP and sent to the host computer 81.

Reference numeral 82 denotes an image control CPU, which creates a running scene to be projected on the display device 4 in accordance with the running information supplied from the host computer 81. Here, the driving scene reflected on the display device 4 is:
For a predetermined traveling route, the host computer 8
1 is a computer graphic image (CGI) image created by a computer by inputting simulation position and velocity information from 1.

The image control CPU 82 registers a travel map corresponding to the travel area in the storage means, converts the travel position coordinates of the vehicle into points on the travel map, and displays the coordinates on the travel map. Generates the coordinate data of the other vehicle which makes the vehicle run at random, and
Output to 1. The video projector 17 converts the image supplied from the image control CPU 82 into the curved screen 14.
To three primary colors. The driving scene obtained in this way changes according to the driving information described above. That is, the video projector 17 changes the image speed of the running scene according to the running speed of the own vehicle in order to cause an illusion that the simulated motorcycle 3 that does not actually run is running. .

Reference numerals 84a and 84b denote laser disk players for reproducing and outputting predetermined images in accordance with the information supplied from the host computer 81, respectively. The player 84a displays an image of another vehicle of a size corresponding to the inter-vehicle distance between the own vehicle and the other vehicle from among the images (still images) of the other vehicle previously recorded on the laser disk, using the above-described travel information. And the coordinates of the other vehicle, and reproduces and outputs this.

On the other hand, the player 84b records a course image (CGI) photographed backward while moving forward in the running section from each branch point in the running area, stores the course image (CGI) in the laser disk, and stores the branch point information. And reproduces a course image to be viewed from the own vehicle based on the vehicle.

As described above, the player 84a reproduces and outputs the image of the other vehicle seen from the own vehicle, and the player 84b reproduces and outputs the course image which is seen behind the own vehicle. Then, these two images are subjected to image synthesis by the image processing device 86. In this image synthesis, a well-known chroma key synthesis is performed, whereby an image of another vehicle having a size corresponding to the inter-vehicle distance is formed in the course image seen behind the own vehicle. In other words, the image synthesized in this way corresponds to the background behind the vehicle.

Next, reference numeral 87 denotes a video effector. The video effector 87 extracts a predetermined area in a one-frame screen formed by a composite image signal supplied from the image processing device 86, and outputs the extracted area. That is, the video effector 87 divides the above-described synthesized image into four parts, and extracts a rear background reflected in the field of view of the rear-view mirrors disposed on the left and right sides of the own vehicle from these four parts. Output as an image signal. That is, it is enlarged four times.

The rearview mirror image signal thus formed is supplied to the liquid crystal displays 88a (L side) and 88b (R) embedded in the rearview mirror of the simulated motorcycle 3.
Side). The liquid crystal displays 88a, 88
b is respectively laminated on a liquid crystal panel and this panel,
And a Fresnel lens for enlarging a rear-view mirror image projected on the liquid crystal panel. According to such a configuration, the rear background according to the running state of the simulated motorcycle 3 is projected on the liquid crystal displays 88a and 88b of the rearview mirror. This makes it possible to simulate a more realistic feeling of driving a motorcycle.

Next, reference numeral 85 denotes a drive control CPU for performing a calculation in a curved system. This curving system drive control CPU 85
The pitch movable mechanism 2 described above is driven by drive signals supplied from the host computer 81 and various sensors 80.
2. Control the motors of the roll movable mechanism 23 and the yaw movable mechanism 24, that is, drive servomotors 90 having a total of six axes. For example, when acceleration / deceleration is performed by an accelerator operation or a brake operation, as described above, the motors 60, 61
This causes the body frame 20 to bend back and forth, thereby giving the occupant a sense of acceleration and deceleration.

Further, when the image of the display device 4 reaches the corner, and the occupant shifts his / her weight by cornering, the motor 23 rotates the roll shaft 23a to move the simulated motorcycle 3 in the lateral direction. And the slide table 8 is swung by the two motors of the yaw movable mechanism 24 to give the occupant a feeling of turning when cornering. In addition, the drive control C
PU is a host computer 81 which calculates vehicle speed and coordinates according to various sensors and switch signals.

As described above, the drive control CPU 85 is a curving system 85, and the control CPU of the rectilinear system 85 is divided into the host computer 81 and information is directly input to the curving system CPU 85 from various sensors. Thus, the calculation speed and calculation accuracy for controlling the roll movable mechanism 23 and the yaw movable mechanism 24 can be improved.

Reference numeral 83 denotes an environment control CPU. The environment control CPU 83 controls the speaker SP and the spotlight L based on the travel information supplied from the host computer 81 and a switch operation signal.

That is, the speaker SP emits a running sound such as an exhaust sound and a brake sound generated according to the running information, and the blower fan 89 gives a wind pressure to the occupant during the running, and the vibration fan provided on the simulated motorcycle has A motor (not shown) simulates the traveling vibration transmitted to the steering wheel.

The spotlight L is a simulated motorcycle 3
The lighting is controlled in accordance with the operation of an ignition key switch provided in the above. When the key switch is in an off state, the light is turned on, and when the key switch is turned on, the light is turned off.
This may be digitally controlled by the environment control CPU 83, or may be analog controlled by inserting a CR circuit in the ignition key switch.

Further, based on the traveling information (engine speed) supplied from the environmental control CPU 83, the blowing fan 89 operates with the wind pressure adjusted according to the vehicle speed. In other words, the wind pressure is low in the low speed range, the wind pressure is high in the high speed range, the wind is sent to the passenger, and when the simulated motorcycle is stopped, for example, the wind volume that can realize the natural wind is given to the passenger. It is being sent.

C. Operation of Embodiment Next, the operation of the embodiment in the above-described configuration will be described. First, when a main power supply is turned on to the riding simulation apparatus of this embodiment, the host computer 81 initializes each unit of the apparatus and enters a standby state. When a start switch (not shown) is operated, the host computer 81 detects the operation and supplies a start signal indicating the start of the operation to the video control CPU 82, the drive control CPU 85, and the environment control CPU 83.

As a result, first, the image control CPU 82
Starts the video projector 83 and projects the initial image on the curved screen 14. Also, a drive control CPU
Reference numeral 85 starts servo control for the six-axis motor constituting the movable mechanism 2. On the other hand, the environmental control CPU 83
The spotlight L is turned on, and lighting is performed on the simulated motorcycle 3. Next, in this state, when the passenger gets on the simulated two-wheeled vehicle 3 and operates the ignition key to set the engine to the activated state, the environment control CPU 83 turns off the spotlight L in response thereto, and the screen screen is easily recognized. At the same time as setting the environment, a cell motor sound and an exhaust note at the time of starting the engine are generated from the speaker SP. Further, the environment control CPU 83 causes the blower fan 89 to send a wind having a natural air volume to the occupant toward the occupant.

Next, when the occupant starts by operating a gear change, clutch and throttle, the host computer 81 generates travel information in accordance with detection signals from various sensors that have detected these operations. Then, the video control CPU 82 causes the curved screen 14 to form a predetermined running scene according to the running information, and the drive control CPU 85 gives the simulated motorcycle 3 a predetermined running behavior. Further, the environment control CPU 83 drives the vibration motor and the blower fan 89, thereby giving the occupant a sense of realism in traveling.

When such a riding simulation operation is used, for example, in a driving lesson for a motorcycle, the instructor gives a driving instruction to the passenger through a transmitter. This traveling instruction is transmitted via headphones built into the helmet worn by the passenger. Then, for example, when the course change operation is performed according to the instruction of the instructor, the passenger uses the liquid crystal displays 88a, 88b provided on the rearview mirror.
Confirm that no other vehicle is moving behind your vehicle from the video displayed on the screen, and change the course. Then, in response to the course change operation, the movable mechanism unit 2 gives the simulated motorcycle 3 a predetermined behavior, and the image on the display device 4 changes in accordance with the operation. As described above, in the riding simulation apparatus, the image corresponding to the driving operation can be displayed on the rearview mirror of the simulated motorcycle, and the actual control feeling of the motorcycle can be reproduced.

When the riding simulation apparatus having the above configuration is used for a motorcycle driving lesson as described above, a monitor display for an instructor is separately provided in addition to the display device 4 and the rear-view mirror liquid crystal displays 88a and 88b. Can also be provided. Further, in this case, the running scene and the rearview mirror image are displayed together on the monitor display, and the running information described above is displayed. In this way, the instructor can check the operation of the passenger, for example, the timing of a gear change operation or a clutch operation.

According to the riding simulation apparatus of the above-described embodiment, the fan 89 for blowing air is installed in the booth T of the display device 4. The fan 89 for blowing air makes the passenger feel the traveling wind. In addition to the function, it has a function of exhausting the air in the booth T in which the video projector 17 is installed to the outside of the booth T. Although the temperature inside the booth T is unavoidable due to the high heat generated from the light source of the video projector 17,
During the operation of the simulated motorcycle 3 (while the engine is running), the blower fan 89 is always operated, and the air in the booth T is exhausted to the outside of the booth T as described above. The temperature rise in T is suppressed. Therefore, the video projector 17 operates well for a long time without being affected by heat, and the good running state of the riding simulation apparatus itself is maintained for a long time.

[0047]

As described above, according to the riding simulation apparatus of the present invention, the blower fan always operates while the simulated motorcycle is driven (or while the main switch is ON). Since the air in the booth in the display device is exhausted to the outside of the booth, the temperature rise in the booth due to the image projecting means is suppressed, and as a result, the image projecting means is good for a long period Thus, there is an effect that the good operating state of the riding simulation apparatus itself is maintained for a long time.
