It is made of mounted structure. An upper part of the vehicle body 100 is provided with a turret 102 that rotates in the left and right directions, and the turret 102 is provided with a barrel 103 extending forward. The barrel 103 preferably has a structure that is rotated in the vertical direction. In some cases, the turret 103 may be mounted on the vehicle body 100 without the turret 102.

The driving means 160 for providing driving power to the endless track 104 of the vehicle body 100 includes a power unit including an internal combustion engine using fuel or an electric motor using electricity, and the driving force of the power unit is the endless track 104. And a power transmission mechanism for transmitting the wheel to the wheel, and a control device for manipulating the operation of the power device and the power transmission mechanism. In addition, the operation of the driving means 160 is configured to be electronically controlled by the control device 150 as well as manual operation by the control device.

The laser launcher 110 is intended to apply a simulated fire to an opponent tank instead of an actual shell, and may be installed at any position of the vehicle body 100 to irradiate a laser beam in a direction directed by the barrel 103. Can be. In the illustrated embodiment, the laser launcher 110 is installed inside the barrel 103.

The laser detector 120 detects a laser beam irradiated from the laser launcher 110 of the opponent tank and inputs a simulated shot signal to the control device 150, and a plurality of laser detectors 120 are installed at various positions of the vehicle body 100. By the control device 150 to be able to determine the location of the bullet with the bullet. In addition, the laser sensor 120 is preferably configured to detect the intensity or the degree of diffusion of the detected laser beam to determine the firing distance and the resulting shot strength by the control device 150.

The controller 150 includes a traveling controller 152 for controlling the driving means of the crawler 104, an aiming controller 153 for controlling the irradiation direction of the laser projector 110, and the laser projector 110. A fire control unit 154 for controlling the laser beam firing state of the control unit; and a shot position and an intensity according to a detection signal transmitted from the laser sensor 120 to determine the traveling position 152, aiming control unit 153, and fire. It may be configured to include a main control unit 151 for transmitting a control signal to the control unit 154.

The driving control unit 152 makes it difficult or impossible to travel the tank according to the state of the bullet, and may be configured in various ways according to the type and structure of the driving means 160. For example, when the power unit of the driving means 160 is an internal combustion engine, the opening of the valve regulating the supply of fuel, air, or a mixer of the internal combustion engine is restricted. The driving performance may be limited in a manner of limiting the power used. In addition, it may be made of a structure for limiting the driving direction by limiting the operation of the power transmission mechanism connected to both endless tracks (104).

The aiming control unit 153 is difficult or impossible to adjust the shooting direction of the tank according to the shot condition, that is, target aiming, and may be configured in various ways according to the installation position and structure of the laser launcher 110. For example, in the case of the structure in which the laser launcher 110 is installed inside the barrel 103, and the barrel 103 is installed in the turret 102 portion of the vehicle body 100, the turret ( It may be configured to limit the aiming by limiting the operation of the power system for the left and right rotation of the 102 and the up and down rotation of the barrel 103.

The fire control unit 154 is to ensure that the performance of the laser launcher 110 is not output as desired according to the condition of the shot, it may be made of a structure for limiting the firing intensity of the laser beam, the firing speed (number of launches per unit time) and the like. have.

The above driving, aiming and shooting restriction may be made by reducing the operation input value of the occupant's manual operation to a certain ratio and outputting it to each operation unit, and transmitting the input value by the manual operation to the operation unit as it is, but below a certain limit. It may also be made in a manner to limit the maximum value to be. For example, in the former case, half of the input value manipulated by the occupant is output so that the driving performance is reduced to 1/2 of the maximum speed even when the accelerator pedal for the forward of the vehicle is depressed as much as possible. In this case, the maximum speed is limited to 10 km / h so that the driving speed cannot exceed 10 km / h no matter how much the occupant takes the accelerator pedal.

The main controller 151 of the control device 150 outputs a screen and an effect sound indicating that the shot signal is input through the video device 130 and the audio device 140 when the shot signal is input by the laser sensor 120. . Preferably, the video device 130 and the audio device 140 are configured to output various information such as the current state of the tank, the location of the hit in the shot and the degree of damage thereof.

In addition, the main control unit 151 wirelessly transmits a signal indicating whether or not a bullet is shot through the wireless transmitter 171 when the tank is hit, and transmits a radio signal transmitted from the shot enemy vehicle to the wireless receiver 172. It is configured to determine the bullet status of enemy vehicles by receiving through.

The simulated war chariot of the present invention configured as described above can be simulated while the user directly rides and manipulates driving and shooting.

That is, the occupant moves the chariot to a desired position by operating the drive means of the caterpillar 104 in the boarding space 101, and if an enemy chariot is found, the power for the operation of the turret 102 and the barrel 103 is performed. Aim is performed by manipulating a part, and when aiming is performed, the laser launcher 110 is operated to shoot. When the emitted laser beam is detected by the laser sensor 120 of the opponent tank, the control unit 150 of the opponent tank transmits a signal indicating a shot state through the radio transmitter 171, and the signal is a radio receiver 172. If input to the control device 150 through the video device 130 and the audio device 140 to output the visual and audio information and the effect screen and sound to inform that the hit. Accordingly, elements such as tactical driving for chasing or avoiding an enemy tank, and tactical shooting for accurately aiming and firing a laser beam at the opposite tank may be combined to provide a very interesting and immersive tank engagement game.

On the contrary, when the laser beam emitted from the enemy vehicle is detected by the laser sensor 120, the main control unit 151 of the control device 150 is controlled according to the position of the laser sensor 120 and the intensity of the detected laser beam. It calculates the position of the shot and the damage degree, and transmits the operation restriction signal according to the at least one of the driving control unit 152, aiming control unit 153, the fire control unit 154 to limit the function of the operation unit. In addition, the radio transmitter 171 transmits a signal indicating a bullet condition to be transmitted to the radio receiver 172 of the other tank. As a result, the driving, aiming, and shooting functions of the tank are limited to the passenger's intention according to the virtual damage caused by the bullet, thereby increasing the tension and realism during the engagement and increasing satisfaction in game engagement and interest. It can be improved.

As described above, the simulated warfare tank of the present invention has a form and function similar to that of a real tank, and thus provides a passenger with a war situation similar to that of a real tank warfare, and thus cannot be compared with a conventional survival game using firearms. Develop and expand exciting new and exciting leisure and sports markets. In particular, the creation of a military theme park with the theme of tanks can contribute to the development of a new tourism market.

On the other hand, since the speed of the laser beam irradiated from the laser launcher 110 is very fast compared to the speed of the shell fired from the actual tank, it is preferable to have a means for correcting the same in order to increase the similarity to the actual battle. Simply calculate the distance of the target tank, calculate the time it takes for the actual shell to move, and time delay between the firing operation of the laser launcher 110 and the actual laser beam firing time according to the calculated time. The above-described correction may be made in a manner that gives the above, and in addition to this method, various methods used in a conventional simulation apparatus may be used to correct an error caused by the speed difference between the laser beam and the actual shell.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible within the scope without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. It will be evident to those who have knowledge of.
