Description

Reel fishing game device {REEL FISHING GAME APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a reel fishing game device, and more particularly, to a reel fishing game device capable of experiencing real reel fishing.

With the development of virtual reality technology, various screen sports and sports leisure are popular. Screen sports and leisure are mainly performed indoors, so there is an advantage that there are no restrictions from space or weather. In particular, because the screen developed on the screen gives a similar or identical feeling to the real world, it not only feels the fun of fishing as it is, but also has the advantage of being able to repeatedly train in a relatively stable environment.

Examples of such screen sports include almost all sports and leisure events such as soccer, baseball, golf, archery, bowling, shooting, and fishing. Also, recent arcade game devices are becoming more realistic as a result of efforts to configure them to be very similar to real-world target sports.

For example, US Patent No. 5,334,027 discloses a fishing game machine, in which a fishing line wound on a reel attached to a fishing rod is designed to be directly wound on a reel connected to a motor from the tip of the fishing rod. In such a device, the tension previously programmed by the motor connected to the take-up reel is reproduced and transmitted to the fishing rod and the reel through a single fishing line, so that the gamer recognizes the generated tension.

However, in the prior art as described above, since the fishing line is wound on both the reel and the motor to provide tension while being wound and unwound, a malfunction in which the fishing line is tangled or separated occurs frequently. The fishing game machine provided as an entertainment game machine can be considered to be under an environment in which an unspecified number of people use the device over a long period of time, which can easily cause failure. However, since the fishing line is connected to the motor, the fishing rod, and the reel as described above to provide tension while being wound and unwound, there is a problem of being frequently tangled or separated from the original position.

Therefore, there is a need for a reel fishing game device that can be maintained stably without failure and realistically implement the actual operation of reel fishing.

In describing the embodiment of the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of a related known function or configuration may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The present invention provides a reel fishing game device capable of performing reel fishing. Reel fishing is a fishing method mainly used to catch fish from a relatively long distance in a wide site such as a river, lake, or sea.

Such a reel fishing game device repeats the operation of unwinding or winding a fishing line using a reel, and the tension applied to the actual fishing line is applied together with the end of the fishing rod and the reel portion. However, since the general reel fishing game device operates in a fixed state, the movement of the fishing rod is limited. In actual reel fishing, the fishing rod is moved more freely in various directions and repeated grabbing, pulling, and releasing.

In the reel fishing game device of the present invention, by supporting the fishing rod on the joystick device, relatively free movement of the fishing rod is possible in the game device. This makes it possible to implement similarly to the postures and actions of actual reel fishing. Furthermore, since the length of the support bar can be adjusted, the height of the fishing rod can be adjusted according to the height of the user, or the standing posture and the sitting posture can be selectively taken.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, the reel fishing game device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention simulates a reel fishing rod and a fishing rod 10 with a fishing line 17 connected to the tip, an operation unit 20 on which the fishing rod 10 is mounted, a fishing line Through (17), the tension control unit (arranged in the body housing 30) installed to apply tension to the fishing rod 10, the display unit 50, and the game program are driven to output the fishing game image to the display unit 50 and a computer unit (arranged in the main body housing 30) and a controller (arranged in the main body housing 30). The controller reflects the signal of the game program, the signal of the operation unit 20, and the signal of the tension control unit to generate a control signal to the game program, the operation unit 20, and the tension control unit.

The fishing rod 10 has a fishing line 17 connected to the tip as described above, and the fishing line 17 is connected to a tension adjusting unit disposed in the body housing 30 .

The tension control unit may include, for example, a torque motor, a servo motor, and the like for applying tension to the fishing line. For example, a bobbin may be provided on the shaft of the torque motor. While the fishing line 17 is wound around the bobbin, the torque motor rotates according to the fishing operation situation to wind and unwind the fishing line 17 while applying tension to the fishing rod 10 . That is, the torque motor may apply tension to the fishing rod 10 while rotating and reverse rotating in consideration of the size of the fish and the pulling force of the user.

The tensioning unit may also include a servomotor for applying vibrations to the fishing line 17 as mentioned above. The servomotor may reflect the movement of the fish by applying a vibration suitable for the fishing situation to the fishing line 17 . For example, a servomotor can provide a different taste for each type of fish by giving a movement up to 90 degrees left and right to express the resistance of the fish's fins and tail, that is, the feeling of being hit.
