Embodiments of the training bike according to the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of essential parts of an embodiment of a training bike according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is a signal input unit, for example, a VTR.
The video signal from the magnetic recording tape reproduced by the (image recording / reproducing device), the signal of the inclination of the track and the signal of the landscape recorded in the audio signal recording area of the magnetic recording tape, etc. are input. A video display unit 2 displays a video based on the video signal from the signal input unit 1 on a screen provided in front of the motorcycle. Reference numeral 3 denotes a memory unit for recording the signal of the inclination of the track and the signal of the landscape from the signal input unit 1. 4 is a storage unit,
The control signal of the pedal of the training bike, the control signal of the blower, the control signal of the scent, etc. are stored. A discriminating unit 5 discriminates the signal of the inclination of the road, the signal of the landscape, and the like from the memory unit 3 from the data read from the storage unit 4. The pedal control unit 6 controls the weight of the pedal of the training bike based on the signal from the determination unit 5. A blower control unit 7 controls the air volume of the blower based on the signal from the determination unit 5. A scent control unit 8 emits a scent corresponding to the signal from the discrimination unit 5. A display unit 9 displays the training time, running speed (pedal rotation speed), running kilometers, and the like. A control unit 10 controls each unit of the training bike.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram of a training bike according to the present invention. In the figure, 11 is a training bike body. Reference numeral 12 is a VTR, which reproduces a magnetic recording tape and outputs a video signal and a signal of the inclination of the road or a signal recorded in accordance with the scenery. A display unit 13 displays the training time, the running speed, the number of running kilometers, and the like. Reference numeral 14 is a television receiver or the like, which displays an image by a video signal from the VTR 12. Reference numeral 15 is a pedal, the weight of which changes based on the signal from the VTR 12. A blower 16 is installed on the upper part of the television receiver so as to blow out the wind toward the training bike, and changes the intensity of the blown wind according to the scene of the running road.

Next, the operation of the training bike according to the present invention will be described. A magnetic recording tape is attached to the VTR 12 and a reproducing operation is performed. The reproduced video signal is input to the video display unit 2, and the television receiver in front of the training bike is displayed.
The scenery of the track etc. is displayed on 14. This video signal is an image of a landscape set in advance as a road and is recorded on a magnetic recording tape. In addition, in other recording areas (for example, audio signal recording areas) of this magnetic recording tape, signals of inclination of the road, signals according to the scenery or scenery of the road are recorded,
Simultaneously with the reproduction of the video signal, these signals are reproduced.
The signal of the slope of the track is, for example, a signal of an uphill road, a flat road, and a downhill road, the signal of the road scene is a signal of passing by a bus, etc., and the signal of the landscape is, for example, It is a signal recorded according to the forest, flower garden, or beach. These signals are respectively recorded in the memory section 3 via the control section 10, and this recording is rewritten when the next signal is input via the signal input section 1. The signal recorded in the memory unit 3 is read out via the control unit 10 and input to the discrimination unit 5, and discrimination is performed based on the data read out from the storage unit 4 via the control unit 10. The signal from the discriminating unit 5 based on the inclination of the road is input to the pedal control unit 6, and the pedal 15 is used so that the pedal load is heavy on the uphill road, standard on the flat road, and light on the downhill road. Control. As for the weight of the pedal, for example, when the intake calorie is too much and the calorie is used for consumption, the data of the calorie to be consumed is input, the load is calculated based on this data, and the pedal control unit 6 is used. The weight of the pedal 15 may be appropriately controlled, or the load may be switched according to an individual difference and may be adjusted depending on whether light training or heavy training is performed. . In this case, the running time is expanded or contracted according to the adjustment so that the training amount becomes the required value.

A signal based on the scenery from the discriminating unit 5 is input to the scent control unit 8, for example, by opening and closing the lid of the fragrance container provided in front of the blower 16, the scent of wood in the forest,
The scent of flowers is emitted in the flower garden, and the scent of tide is emitted at the beach. And when you pass a bus on the track,
The blower control unit 7 sends the signal from the discrimination unit 5 based on the reproduction signal.
To control the rotation speed of the fan of the blower 16 to change the air volume. Alternatively, a signal from the pedal control unit 6 according to the rotation speed of the pedal is input to the determination unit 5, the control signal of the air volume read from the storage unit 4 via the control unit 10 is determined, and the signal is input to the blower control unit 7. The air volume may be varied by controlling the rotation speed of the fan of the blower 16. Further, the training time, the running speed, the number of running kilometers and the like are displayed on the display unit 14 (display unit 7) based on the rotation number of the pedals and the like via the control unit 10. It should be noted that the scenery of the track and the like are described as being recorded on a magnetic recording tape, but may be recorded on another recording medium, for example, an optical disk.

[0010]

As described above, according to the training bike of the present invention, the scenery of the runway is displayed on the front screen, and the weight of the pedal changes according to the climbing and descending of the runway, and when the oncoming vehicle passes each other. The wind becomes stronger, or the strength of the wind changes according to the speed at which you pedal, and there is a scent depending on the scenery, so if you step on the pedal while the atmosphere changes like this Has the effect of making it more enjoyable, and thus the training lasts longer.
