Description

Virtual Reality Running Machine

The present invention relates to a treadmill that provides virtual reality to a user, and more particularly, a display unit which is disposed on the front of the treadmill to display a virtual reality image, and disposed on a bottom surface of a track of the treadmill. It includes a roller unit capable of moving and vibrating, a projector unit displaying an image with the track unit, a motion recognition unit and a network unit for recognizing a user's movement, so that a user using a treadmill can feel a virtual reality. The present invention relates to a virtual reality treading machine that allows users to recognize a user's movement and share communication with other users.

In general, the treadmill is invented for exercise in a limited narrow space, such as indoors, is a device that provides a moving track of the infinite track type to be able to run in a narrow space, such as jogging that requires a wide track.

In other words, the conventional treadmill has a long belt-shaped track of a predetermined width capable of running movement in the form of a belt consisting of a track shape of one end and the other end connected to each other, the belt at a speed set by one or more motors By rotating, the user is mounted on the top of the belt is a device made to walk or run in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the belt.

Therefore, the user who is walking or running is capable of running without changing its position, and thus has a merit of not requiring a large space for the running exercise.

The conventional treadmill sets and stores the speed range in advance in steps, and allows the user to select the set speed range, thereby controlling the speed of the motor that rotates the belt of the conventional treadmill, so as to walk or walk the user. It is made to change the running speed.

In particular, the user using the conventional treadmill as described above is aerobic exercise due to the characteristics of the treadmill, because aerobic exercise is generally effective for a long time, the running time of the treadmill is generally operated for a long time. However, unlike a general walking or running exercise in which the position continuously changes while running and the visually recognized scenes change every moment, the user using the conventional treadmill does not change the position in one place and runs for a long time. Because of the exercise, you have to stay in the same environment throughout the exercise, and keep watching the same visually recognized scenes. Therefore, the user is easily bored, which has the disadvantage that the number of exercises gradually decreases.

On the other hand, such a conventional treadmill occupies a predetermined volume because it must form a track on which the user can run, and it is common that the weight is heavy because it includes a device such as a motor. In addition, the conventional treadmill as described above is not available unless the user keeps changing because it is impossible to use other than running or walking. Therefore, the conventional treadmill is difficult to move after installation, because there is a lot of time not to run or walk exercise, in this case there was a disadvantage that occupies only the place.

The track portion 10 is a means for forming a track that a user can walk or run, the both ends are formed of a belt that is connected to each other to form an oval side. The belt continuously rides on top of the track portion 10 as it continuously provides a frictional force on the upper surface of the belt in the direction of rotation of the belt (to roughen its surface to provide higher frictional force) during rotation. One user is made to be able to run in the opposite direction of the rotation direction of the track portion 10. In other words, the user located above the track portion 10 runs forward (in the opposite direction to the direction in which the track portion rotates) while the track portion 10 continues to rotate to the rear of the user so that the user stays in place. You will be able to run or walk.

The belt constituting the track portion 10 may be made the same as the material and configuration used in the track portion 10 of the conventional treadmill, the width is sufficient width for the user to run running on the top It is preferable to form However, the track portion 10 is thicker and more flexible than the conventional track portion so that an impact applied to the upper bottom surface of the track portion 10 is not transmitted to the user when pressure is applied by the roller portion 30 to be described later.
