Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention combines a simulator screen and a model motorcycle through a computer unit, and allows the simulator screen to be changed and the speed to be arbitrarily selected based on the motorcycle operation. The present invention relates to a motorcycle play device.

(Prior Art) Amusement devices such as automobiles or motorcycles that utilize this type of simulator screen are well known. However, these devices simply avoid or overtake obstacles on the screen, such as cars, by changing speed and operating the steering wheel, and there is no sense of realism, and they are just miniature garden models. It is nothing more than formal manipulation. Particularly in the case of amusement devices such as motorcycles, if the speed adjustment and steering wheel operation are all that is needed, there is a problem in that there is no sense of riding, and there is no need for Ripe 9 Induction Techniques, resulting in a lack of playability.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The present invention attempts to solve the problem of the lack of playability caused by the conventional bikes requiring only simple operations and no riding technique.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a specific means for solving the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an amusement device in which a simulator screen and a motorcycle model are connected via a computer. Each section is electrically connected to a computer, the motorcycle seat is supported by a frame, a torsion bar is attached to the leg of the frame, and the torsion bar is rotatably attached to a mount with a bearing, and the rotation of the torsion bar is controlled. A regulating plate spring is disposed between the torsion bar and the frame, and the spring pressure of the plate spring can be set arbitrarily by changing the angle in the plate thickness direction with respect to the rotation direction of the torsion bar. The present invention provides a motorcycle play device that is configured so that the user can tilt it by shifting his/her weight, and the user can not only operate the handlebars on the seat of the motorcycle but also learn riding techniques by shifting his/her weight. Moreover, since the spring pressure of the plate spring can be adjusted according to the user's weight, there is no difference in slope due to the difference in user's weight, and it is possible to play under equal conditions. You can enjoy it.

(Embodiment) Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. In FIG. A simulator screen display device 4 is attached to the front of the computer unit 5, and this display device displays the simulator screen programmed by the computer unit 5. Each functional part operated by the motorcycle is electrically connected to the computer unit 5, and the display device 4 has a speedometer 6, an odometer 7, a shift indicator, etc. on the front of the display device 4. Various display device operating means such as a button 8 and a coin slot 9 are provided.

The seat 2 of the motorcycle 1 is supported by a frame IO, whose legs 10a, 101) are attached to torsion bars 11. This torsion bar 11 is rotatably mounted on a pedestal 13 by bearings 12 at multiple locations, and the lower end of one leg 10a is further extended and inserted into the pedestal 13, and the inclination angle of the frame 10 is set at the tip of the torsion bar 11. A detection means 14 is provided for detection.

A plate spring 16 is attached to the torsion bar 11 in a cross shape near one end via a bearing member 15,
The other end of the plate spring is rotatably fixed to the pedestal 13 via a bearing 17. Said plate spring 16
On one end side, there is a shaft 1 for changing the inclination angle with respect to the torsion bar 11 at the mounting position of the plate spring 16.
8, a crank 19 and a crank arm are attached to the shaft, and the other end of the crank arm is connected to a gear 21, which is rotated by a suitable motor n.

In this case, if the plate spring 16 is located perpendicularly to the torsion bar 11, it will be in a locked state and the torsion bar will hardly rotate, but as the angle gradually changes, it will be able to rotate. When this happens, the spring pressure is at its weakest and the rotation increases.

Therefore, the inclination angle of the plate spring 16 with respect to the torsion bar 11 is changed according to the user's weight, and the heavier the weight, the closer to the vertical position, and the lighter the weight, the closer to the horizontal position. This adjustment is determined by driving the motor 22 depending on the weight. Note that when the seat does not need to be tilted, it can be used without releasing the lock.

(Function) In the game device of the present invention having the above configuration, when the user first straddles the seat 2 and inserts a coin from the coin slot 9, a display by weight appears on the display device 4, and one of the handles Select and set the weight that suits the user by operating 3. Based on this weight selection, the motor 22 shown in FIG. 4 rotates to release the lock, and the inclination angle of the plate spring 16 with respect to the torsion bar 11 is determined, and the rotation of the torsion bar 11 is regulated according to the body weight. The location is also selected and set based on the display screen. In this state, when you are ready to shift and operate the handle 3 to perform the accelerator and start operations, the programmed situation will be captured on the display screen of the display device, and while the accelerator and brakes are operated, Operate the handle according to the instructions on the screen. At this time, when there is a curve or when overtaking an obstacle, the rider must move his/her weight at the same time as the steering wheel, just like a real rider would, or the rider will not be able to cut the curve or avoid the obstacle. When the body weight is shifted, the frame 10 rotates against the spring pressure of the torsion bar 11 and the plate spring 16, causing the frame 10 to tilt, and this tilt angle is detected by the detection means 14. The computer 5 determines whether the vehicle is driving correctly based on the relationship between the degree of the curve and the speed.For example, if the slope is too small, the vehicle may not be able to complete the curve and hit the guardrail, or if the slope is too large, the vehicle may fall. Or the vehicle may be off the track, and such a surface will appear on the display screen. Furthermore, even when avoiding or overtaking an obstacle, if the driver does not shift his/her weight while operating the brakes and steering wheel, the driver will collide with the obstacle or the vehicle on the display screen, and such a message will be displayed. In short, 71 just like a real rider.
If you don't make full use of riding techniques that shift your weight along with steering, accelerator, and brake operations, you won't be able to drive correctly, and on the contrary, making full use of riding techniques will eliminate simplicity and further increase the sense of realism.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the auto-gui game device according to the present invention connects each operational function part of the motorcycle to a computer, and also allows the seat of the motorcycle to tilt due to the weight shift of the user. Based on the inclination, the speed of the simulator screen, the accelerator operation, and the brake operation are related and the screen status changes, and if the inclination and speed do not match, the planned driving will not be possible, and the simple speed as in the conventional example will change. Unlike driving by simply operating the steering wheel, it requires actual rider technique, which has the excellent effect of providing a sense of realism and making the game even more interesting.
