Chair system having a three-dimensional experience {Chair system having a capacity of 3D motion undergoing}

The present invention relates to a chair system capable of three-dimensional bodily sensation, and more specifically, it is possible to directly or indirectly experience various special effects appearing on the screen image, and to give a realistic three-dimensional effect to the viewer who views the image. It is about a chair system that enables three-dimensional bodily sensation to enjoy the beauty of the image.

A term often encountered in everyday life is one or two or three dimensions. One-dimensional literally means a line, two-dimensional means a plane, three-dimensional means a three-dimensional having a volume of the horizontal, vertical and height present. In our real life, what we see with our eyes is mainly 3D stereoscopic images, but if the images taken using cameras or camcorders are seen through TVs, monitors, or theater screens, they are bound to be flat images. Therefore, when watching TV or movies, the three-dimensional feeling is bound to fall.

On the other hand, the human brain can detect changes in the muscles that adjust the thickness of the lens according to the distance, and the muscles that control the angle between both eyes and the object. In addition, it is known that the brain feels a three-dimensional effect by combining color, density, object size, shadow, and the facts of experience. Among them, the difference in vision that appears due to the gap between two eyes, that is, parallax, is the most important factor to feel the three-dimensional feeling.

As a result, people often watch movies or simulated movements using so-called stereoscopic glasses. In particular, children can be interested because they can watch a realistic video just by watching a movie or a cartoon movie with stereoscopic glasses.

However, as described above, the stereoscopic glasses are merely a view of the virtual image of the virtual image depending on the difference of vision due to the distance between the two eyes, and it is not enough to feel the realistic motion in the image. For example, when an earthquake occurs in an image of a movie and the earth's crust moves, the stereoscopic glasses can only have a three-dimensional sense of the earth's crust, and viewers cannot feel the earthquake's movements together. Therefore, it is not enough to feel realistic three-dimensional feeling.

In this regard, Korean Patent Application Publication No. 20-362923 describes a special effect device that allows visitors to indirectly experience various situations in the video when watching a movie while sitting in a chair in consideration of such general reality.

The chair 1 includes a seat 2 as a seat, a leg 4 supporting the chair 1 as a whole, a backrest 6 supporting the back of the viewer M sitting on the seat 2, and Armrests 8 for supporting both arms of the viewer (M) on both sides of the sheet (2). If necessary, a headrest portion (not shown) that supports the head of the viewer M may be further formed at the upper end of the backrest portion 6.

For reference, the sheet 2 may be formed of a cloth material containing a cushioning material therein. However, in some cases, it may be formed of a steel plate or a plastic plate without a cushion. The armrest portion 8 provided on both sides of the seat 2 is convenient to use so that the height can be adjusted, even if the chair 1 without the armrest portion 8 belongs to the scope of the present invention.

The backrest part 6 supporting the back of the spectator M has a curved shape at a predetermined portion according to the structure of the human body. The same can be applied to the seat (2), in this case, the viewer (M) sitting on the chair (1) due to the backrest 6 and the seat (2) has the advantage of sitting for a longer time in a more comfortable position to watch the image There is this.

As described above, the chair 1 has a motion part 12, a vibration part 20, a sound transmission part 25, an injection device 30, a woodworking injection part 36, a seat belt and an airbag. These are each controlled by an integrated controller 40. If you introduce the configuration one by one as follows.

The motion unit 12 serves to swing the chair 1 in at least one axis or to move or rotate it in at least one direction in association with the chair 1. That is, by controlling by the integrated controller 40 based on the special effects appearing in the image, as shown in FIG. 3, the chair 1 is oscillated or moved and rotated in a predetermined distance in one direction.

As shown in FIG. 4, the motion part 12 is provided in the space 10a in the lower support part 10 of the chair 1 so as to have a space 10a in which the chair 1 can swing. The motion unit 12 may allow its role to be performed by mechanical mechanisms such as cams, gears, and motors. However, in this embodiment, three motion unit members 13a to 13c are used to perform the role.

At least one of the three motion unit members 13a to 13c is pivotally supported on at least one of the support 10 and the lower plate 9 of the chair 1 and the length between the two ends is extended and reduced, and different arrangements are made. In the lower space 10a of the chair 1.

The motion unit members 13a to 13c may include a first bracket part 14 fixed to the support part 10, a second bracket part 15 fixed to the lower plate 9 of the chair 1, and an end of the motion unit member 13a to 13c. The cylinder body 16 is pivotally supported by the bracket 14, and the cylinder rod 17 is extended and reduced in length with respect to the cylinder body 16 and the end is pivotally supported by the second bracket portion (15). The two first and second motion unit members 12a and 12b are spaced apart from each other and arranged in the same direction, and the other one of the third motion unit members 12c includes the first and second motion unit members 12a and 12b. 12b) are arranged in different directions.

Accordingly, when the first and second motion unit members 12a and 12b are operated by the integrated controller 40, the chair 1 may be fitted forward, and then the third motion unit member 12c is operated. The lower chair 1 may be fitted rearward. Therefore, the viewer M sitting on the chair 1 can be fitted (swing) as shown in FIG. 3 by the first to third motion unit members 12c controlled by the integrated controller 40. Of course, when the first to third motion unit members 13a to 13c interact with each other, the chair 1 may move within a predetermined distance.

The seat 2 and the backrest 6 may be vibrated independently by the vibrator 20. Therefore, there is an effect that the special effects such as earthquake can be transmitted directly to the viewer (M). Of course, the vibrator 20 may be provided at another position of the chair 1.

The vibrator 20 includes first and second vibrating plates 21 and 22 provided on the seat 2 and the backrest 6, respectively, based on control signals of the integrated controller 40. It includes a vibration circuit portion 23 for selectively vibrating the vibration plate (21, 22). As shown in FIG. 5, the vibration circuit unit 23 includes a signal oscillator 23a, a signal amplifier 23b, and a signal output unit 23c.

Thus, when a signal is applied from the integrated controller 40, the signal oscillator 23a oscillates at least one of low frequency, high frequency, and ultrasonic waves by the applied signal. The oscillated signal is amplified into a predetermined band via the signal amplifier 23b. After being amplified, the first and second vibration plates 21 and 22 are transferred to the first and second vibration plates 21 and 22 through the signal output unit 23c, respectively. 6) vibrate. Thus, the special effects in the image, such as an earthquake, there is an effect that is directly / indirectly transmitted to the viewer (M).

In addition to the vibrator 20, there may be further means for increasing the effect of the pressure on the viewer M. This may be implemented as an airbag provided in the seat belt and the backrest 6 of the chair (1). The seat belt is the same as that provided in the automobile, and is a means for safely binding the spectators M sitting on the chair 1 to the chair 1. In addition, the airbag is provided in the backrest 6 to selectively expand or contract the volume by the integrated controller 40. However, in order to enjoy these effects, you must wear a seat belt.

When the airbag's volume is inflated based on the control signal of the integrated controller 40 while the seat belt is being worn, the spectator M can obtain the haptic effect by the compression by the fixed seat belt. When the volume of the airbag is reduced by the integrated controller 40 while the freezing pressure is applied, the pressure applied to the viewer M is released. By such repetitive motions, the special effects in the image can be delivered directly or indirectly to the viewer (M).

The sound transmitting unit 25 is employed as a plurality of speakers arranged at different positions in the chair 1 so as to be adjacent to the ears of the viewer M sitting on the chair 1, respectively. That is, arranged to the left and right on the top of the backrest 6 to deliver a three-dimensional sound to the viewer (M) based on the control signal of the integrated controller 40 provides a three-dimensional surround sound effect. The number and location of the speakers can be applied differently than shown.

On the other hand, in front of the chair 1 is provided with an injection device 30 for injecting a predetermined special effect material toward the viewer (M) sitting on the chair (1). There can be many kinds of special effects materials. For example, compressed air and water fog are introduced. However, in addition to compressed air and water fog, similar materials may be injected.

The injection device 30 is connected to the tube support part 31 to form a passage through which compressed air and water fog can be supplied to the inside, and are arranged side by side along the arrangement direction of the chair 1 by being coupled to the tube support part 31. The main body 32, the compressed air supply unit (not shown) for supplying the compressed air, and the compressed air provided from the compressed air supply unit based on the control signal of the integrated controller 40 and provided on the apparatus main body 32 (1) Compressed air injection unit 33 for spraying toward the viewer (M) sitting in the), water fog supply unit (not shown) for supplying the water fog, and is located adjacent to the compressed air supply unit based on the control signal of the integrated controller 40 It has a water fog spray unit 34 for spraying the water fog provided from the water fog supply unit toward the viewer (M) sitting on the chair (1).

The amount and strength of the compressed air and the water fog sprayed through the compressed air injection unit 33 and the water fog injection unit 34 are also advantageously controlled by the integrated controller 40. On the other hand, the compressed air injection unit 33 and the water fog injection unit 34 is sprayed toward the viewer (M) from the front of the chair 1, to further provide a wood air injection unit 36 as shown in the drawing It may be. The woodworking sprayer 36 is provided in the upper region of the backrest 6 of the chair 1 and sprays compressed air as a special effect material toward the neck of the viewer M sitting on the chair 1. The type and method of injection is based on the above-described injection device 30, but the compressed air having a predetermined amount and intensity is injected toward the back neck of the viewer M through the woodworking injection unit 36, thereby providing a more realistic image. The three-dimensional effect of can be obtained. In particular, because the price of the back of the viewer (M) can maximize the effect of tension and surprise, can double the effect of the hot and cold water can be combined.

By this structure, the viewer M who enters into an interior room sits in the chair 1 and watches the image which appears on a screen.

While watching the video, an earthquake or vibration is expressed in the video as an example of special effects. Then, the integrated controller 40 detects this according to the programmed logic to drive the respective motion unit members 13a to 13c of the motion unit 12. Then, like the earthquake in the image, the chair 1 of the spectator M can be fitted in the front-back direction, so that the image can be viewed more realistically due to the dynamic movement.

In addition, a signal is transmitted from the integrated controller 40 to the vibrator 20 and the signal oscillator 23a oscillates at least one of low frequency, high frequency, and ultrasonic waves by the applied signal. The oscillated signal is amplified into a predetermined band via the signal amplifier 23b. After being amplified, the first and second vibration plates 21 and 22 are transferred to the first and second vibration plates 21 and 22 through the signal output unit 23c, respectively. 6) vibrate.

Thus, special effects in the image, such as earthquakes and vibrations can be delivered to the viewer (M) directly or indirectly to achieve a more realistic image viewing. In addition, since the predetermined compressed air strikes the back neck of the viewer (M) through the woodworking injection unit 36, the effect of tension and surprise can be maximized. If the seat belt is tied to operate the airbag by the integrated controller 40, it is possible to enjoy the pressure.

For example, when the image of the dawn or dusk is displayed on the screen, the integrated controller 40 operates the injector 30. The compressed air injection unit 33 and the water fog injection unit 34 provided in the apparatus main body 32 by the operation of the injector 30, and the predetermined compressed air and water mist in front of the chair 1 in accordance with a certain amount and intensity Begin to spray towards spectators (M). Therefore, the spectators (M) can feel as if they are directly participating in the background of the dawn or dusk in the video.

As such, according to the present invention, various special effects appearing in the image of the screen can be experienced directly or indirectly, so that the viewer can enjoy the beauty of the image by giving a realistic three-dimensional effect to the viewer.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to experience various special effects appearing on the image of the screen directly or indirectly to give the viewers a more realistic three-dimensional effect to enjoy the beauty of the image There is provided a chair system that can be experienced.
