Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an improvement of a golf course guide device mounted on a golf cart, and more specifically, to the current golf cart position and other golf cart positions and the wind direction at each position. The present invention relates to a golf course guide device that can provide golf course information such as wind speed.

[Prior art]

Among the golf course guide devices mounted on the golf cart, there is one that communicates with another golf cart to guide the golf course or the like.

For example, in the golf course guide device disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-80379, the leading and trailing golf balls are prevented from hitting the leading players and hitting the golf ball by the trailing players. By communicating with the running golf cart, the distance between the player's own golf cart and the leading and trailing golf carts is obtained, and when the distance is equal to or greater than a predetermined distance, the player is allowed to play.

It should be noted that these golf carts are usually equipped with a position detection sensor or the like for detecting the current position of the golf cart in order to obtain the distance or the like, but are not equipped with an anemoscope or anemometer.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

Therefore, the conventional golf course guide device cannot provide information on the wind speed and the wind direction at the current golf cart position and other golf cart positions, and it is difficult to know what direction the golf ball should be hit. It was inconvenient.

Therefore, the present invention has been made for the purpose of providing a golf course guide device which can also provide wind speed and wind direction information of the current golf cart position and other golf cart positions.

[Means for solving the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is mounted on a golf cart in a golf course guide device that communicates with other golf carts to guide the golf course and the like.
Current position detecting means for detecting the current position of the golf cart, wind speed detecting means mounted on the golf cart for detecting wind speed, wind direction detecting means mounted on the golf cart for detecting wind direction, and the golf cart Mounted on the golf cart, and transmitting means for transmitting current position data, wind speed data, and wind direction data of the golf cart based on detection signals from the current position detecting means, wind speed detecting means, and wind direction detecting means. And a notification means for receiving a transmission signal from the transmission means of the other golf cart and notifying the current position of the other golf cart and the wind direction and wind speed corresponding to the current position based on the received signal. It is configured as a golf course guide device.

[Action]

In this golf course guide device, the transmitting means transmits the current position data, the wind speed data, and the wind direction data of the golf cart based on the detection signals from the current position detecting means, the wind speed detecting means, and the wind direction detecting means, and the notifying means. Thus, the transmission signal from the transmission means of the other golf cart is received, and the current position of the other golf cart and the wind direction and wind speed corresponding to the current position are notified.

Therefore, the player can know the current position, wind direction, and wind speed data of the golf cart other than the above, and can accurately determine in which direction the golf ball should be hit.

A golf course guide device 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a golf cart 3 traveling on a predetermined traveling path 2 (FIG. 3).
It is mounted on ( _3a , _3b , _3c ).

The golf course guide device 1 is mainly configured by a control unit 4 including a microcomputer CPU, and the control unit 4 detects a sign sensor 6 that detects a sign 5 such as ferrite buried in the traveling path 2. A distance sensor 7 for detecting the rotation of the wheels of the golf cart, an anemometer 8 for detecting the wind speed, an anemoscope 10 for detecting the wind direction, a transmitter 11 for transmitting various data such as the current position data of the golf cart, and other golf carts. receiving unit for receiving a transmission signal from 12, the storage unit 14 for storing various data such as the golf course map data and travel path data, and the golf course map etc. based on the stored data of the storage unit 14 on the screen 15 _a A display unit 15 including a CRT for displaying is connected.

When the golf cart 3 comes onto the sign 5 on the traveling path 2, the sign 5 detects the sign 5 and corrects the current position of the golf cart.

When the golf cart 3 further travels on the traveling path 2 from the mark position, the distance traveled from the mark position of the golf cart 3 based on the rotation detection signal of the wheel of the golf cart 3 from the distance sensor 7. Is required.

Then, the current position of the golf cart 3 is obtained based on the golf course map data, the travel route data, and the travel distance data from the sign position stored in the storage unit 14, and the coordinate data is stored in the storage unit 14. It is updated and stored.

The sign sensor 6, the distance sensor 7 and the like for obtaining the current position of the golf cart 3 described above are an example of the current position detecting means.

In addition, the golf course guide device 1 of this golf cart
Then, the wind velocity is detected by the anemometer 8 and the wind velocity data is updated and stored in the storage unit 14.

The anemometer 8 for detecting the wind speed is an example of the wind speed detecting means.

Further, in this golf course guide apparatus 1, the wind direction is detected by the wind vane 10 and the wind direction data is updated and stored in the storage unit 14.

 The wind vane 10 is an example of wind direction detecting means.

Further, for example, in the golf course guide device 1 mounted on the golf cart _3b , as shown in FIG.
