Cooperatively controlled, the microcomputer is operated through the control panel 16.

상술한 바와 같은 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 런닝머신의 작동을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation of the treadmill according to the embodiment of the present invention as described above are as follows.

먼저, 사용자가 런닝벨트(10) 위에서 걷거나 뛰면서 콘트롤 패널(16)을 조작하여 스크린(20)에서 산길, 해안길 등 원하는 영상이 디스플레이 되도록 하는데, 이때 디스플레이 되는 영상은 사용자의 진행속도(벨트의 구동속도)에 따라 변화됨으로써 사용자가 시각적으로 실제 자연환경에서 달리는 것과 같은 느낌을 같게 된다.First, as the user walks or runs on the running belt 10, the control panel 16 is operated to display a desired image such as a mountain road and a coastal road on the screen 20, wherein the displayed image is a user's moving speed (drive of the belt). Speed, the user feels like they are running visually in a natural environment.

그리고, 상기 액츄에이터(40)는 스크린(20)에서 디스플레이되는 영상에 맞게 작동된다. 즉, 스크린(20)에서 산길을 올라가는 영상이 나오면 런닝벨트(10)의 앞부분이 위로 올라가게끔 작동되어 오르막길과 상태가 되고, 스크린(20)에서 산길을 내려가는 영상이 나오면 런닝벨트(10)의 뒷부분이 올라가게끔 작동되어 내리막길과 같은 상태로 변경된다.In addition, the actuator 40 is operated according to the image displayed on the screen 20. That is, when the image coming up the mountain trail from the screen 20 comes out of the running belt 10 is up to go uphill and the state, and the image goes down the mountain trail from the screen 20, the rear portion of the running belt 10 It is activated to go up and changes to the same state as downhill.

이와 같은 액츄에이터(40)에 의한 런닝벨트(10)의 경사각 변동은 스크린(20)상에서 디스플레이 되는 영상의 변화에 맞추어 연속적으로 이루어진다.The tilt angle variation of the running belt 10 by the actuator 40 is continuously made in accordance with the change of the image displayed on the screen 20.

그리고, 음향장치의 스피커(50)에서는 스크린(20)에서 산길이 나오면 실제 산에서 들을 수 있는 새소리나, 바람소리 등이 나오며, 스크린(20)에서 해안길이 나오면 파도소리 등이 나오게 되며, 방향장치(30)에서는 스크린(20)에서 숲길이 나오면 실제 숲에서 맡을 수 있는 소위 숲 향기를 발산하며, 스크린(20)에서 해안길이 나오면 바다 향기를 발산하게 된다.And, in the speaker 50 of the sound device, when the mountain road comes out from the screen 20, the bird sounds, wind sounds, etc. that can be heard in the actual mountain come out, and when the coast road comes out from the screen 20, the sound of the waves comes out, the direction device At 30, when the forest road comes out from the screen 20, it emits a so-called forest fragrance that can be taken in a real forest, and when the coast road comes out from the screen 20, it emits sea scent.

따라서, 본 실시예에 의하면 사용자가 스크린(20)에서 디스플레이 되는 영상 및 음향장치, 방향장치(30)에서 발산되는 향기를 통해 시각적, 청각적, 후각적으로 실제 자연환경과 유사한 분위기를 느낄 수 있게 될 뿐만 아니라, 런닝벨트(10)의 경사각 또한 다양하게 변화됨으로써 실제감이 증대된다.Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the user can feel an atmosphere similar to the actual natural environment visually, acoustically, and olfactory through the fragrance emitted from the image and sound device and the fragrance device 30 displayed on the screen 20. In addition, the inclination angle of the running belt 10 is also variously changed to increase the sense of reality.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 런닝머신에 의하면 실제 자연환경에서와 유사한 시각적, 청각적, 후각적인 효과가 제공됨으로써 사용자가 운동을 보다 재미있게 할 수 있다는 이점이 있다.As described above, according to the treadmill according to the present invention, the visual, audio, and olfactory effects similar to those of the actual natural environment are provided, and thus, the user may have more fun.
