Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle traveling system using a virtual reality,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle traveling system using a virtual reality, and more particularly, to a bicycle traveling system using a virtual reality Driving system.

The exercise equipment that can enjoy indoors is equipped with a saddle and a pedal, and when the user sits on the saddle and rotates the pedal, a exercise device that gives a similar aerobic exercise effect to the user's ride on the actual bicycle due to the load applied to the pedal It is widely used.

However, these exercise apparatuses can not experience the same experience as when riding a real bicycle, except that they can vary the load applied to the pedal, and only a repetitive and tedious exercise is possible.

To overcome such disadvantages of the exercise apparatus, a roller device capable of driving a bicycle indoors by using a bicycle used for actually driving on a road or the like is widely used.

Such a roller device can be roughly classified into two types, a non-fixed type flat roller device and a stationary roller device. The flat roller device arranges the rollers supporting the front wheel and the rear wheel of the bicycle, respectively, in a plane. When the bicycle rides on the bicycle with the front and rear wheels of the bicycle placed on these rollers, the front and rear wheels roll on the rollers. Therefore, the rider of the bicycle can ride the bicycle in an environment similar to an actual bicycle riding on a flat surface.

The stationary roller device is configured to fix the rear wheel of the bicycle to the roller device, rotate with the rear wheel in contact with the roller of the roller device, and rotate the roller with the rear wheel to apply a load to the rotation of the rear wheel.

Some of such stationary roller devices are configured such that a magnetic brake or an electric motor is connected to the roller so that a magnetic brake or a motor provides a variable load to the roller.

When both ends of the support shaft of the rear wheel of the bicycle are fixed to this traveling device and the user turns on the bicycle and the pedal is turned, the rear wheel rotates and the exercise is performed in a similar environment to the actual bicycle by the variable load applied by the contact roller .

When such a roller device is used, the cyclist can ride the bicycle indoors in a situation where the bicycle can not be driven outdoors, such as during the winter season or rainy day, and enjoy traveling in an environment similar to the actual bicycle driving situation.

However, even when such a roller device is used, only the tedious and repetitive exercise of turning the bicycle pedal is performed, and a feeling of pleasure or achievement felt in a real bicycle driving environment can not be felt.

In order to compensate for the disadvantages of the above-mentioned exercise apparatuses or roller apparatuses, a device or a system has been proposed which enables a bicycle traveling by providing an environment similar to an actual bicycle running in the room.

As an example of such an apparatus or system, there are devices disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1520816 (Document 1) and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1155517 (Document 2).

Document 1 proposes a fitness bicycle for a virtual reality game. The bicycle has a speed calculating unit and a load providing unit on the rotation axis of the pedal and a direction calculating unit on the central axis of the handle. According to the description of Document 1, the load provider provides a load to the rotation of the pedal according to the inclination angle of the slope of the virtual bicycle on the contents provided by the virtual reality game, The game contents are reflected in the game contents to enable the virtual reality game.

However, in the bicycle of Document 1, there is no disclosure as to how to implement the speed calculating unit, the load providing unit and the direction calculating unit on the bicycle.

In particular, even if the speed calculating unit, the load providing unit and the direction calculating unit are installed on the bicycle as described in Document 1, such a work can not be used by the user of the bicycle as it is, It is necessary to design and manufacture a new new bicycle having a configuration that satisfies the above-mentioned requirements. However, Document 1 does not provide any specific alternative as to what configuration the bicycle having such a function has.

Document 2 proposes a system in which a bicycle is fixed to a standing device having a configuration similar to that of a stationary roller device and a rotational angle of the bicycle handle and a rotational speed of the pedal are measured to enjoy a virtual bicycle traveling on a virtual reality displayed on a display device .

In the system of Document 2, a steering angle sensor is provided on a bicycle handle, a rear wheel of the bicycle is supported on a standing device, a roller and two motors are provided on the standing device, The height of the standing device is controlled so that the bicycle has the same inclination as the bicycle traveling path on the virtual reality while the other motor controls the rotation of the roller by controlling the rotation of the roller .

According to the configuration of the system of Document 2, since the height of the standing device is adjusted according to the inclined surface of the running path of the bicycle provided by the virtual reality, the stand device is provided with a very complicated configuration unlike the fixed roller type traveling device generally used I have.

Further, in this system, since the running speed of the bicycle is determined according to the number of revolutions of the pedal, the rotational speed of the rear wheel due to the gear change of the bicycle can not be grasped. Therefore, this system is not suitable for use with most bicycles equipped with shift gears, or can only be used in a state where the shift gear is fixed at a specific speed change stage.

In this system, since the rotational speed of the rear wheel of the bicycle is adjusted to the rotational speed of the motor that drives the rollers of the standing device, the rear wheel of the bicycle mounted on this system is only driven to the rotational speed shown in the virtual reality , The bicycle user can not obtain the exercise effect of running the bicycle with his own strength.

Document 1: Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1520816 Document 2: Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1155517

In consideration of the problems of the above-described prior art bicycle-type exercising apparatus and roller apparatus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bicycle- And to provide a bicycle traveling system capable of traveling by the same traveling method as the bicycle traveling.

In particular, the present invention is to provide a bicycle traveling system capable of providing an experience of traveling a bicycle in a virtual reality providing a traveling environment similar to the actual traveling environment of the bicycle.

The above-described object of the present invention is achieved by a bicycle traveling system according to the present invention described below.

The bicycle traveling system of the present invention is mounted on or connected to a frame, a longitudinally arranged front and rear wheels, a handle for steering the front wheel, a pedal and chain for driving the rear wheel, and a saddle on which the occupant rides, Which allows the occupant of the bicycle to drive the bicycle in a virtual reality.

The traveling system of the present invention includes: a roller that contacts with a rear wheel of a bicycle and rotates by rotation of the rear wheel to provide a variable rotational resistance to the rear wheel; both ends of a rotary shaft of a rear wheel of the bicycle are fixed, And a support bar rotatably provided around the one shaft to transmit the weight of the weight occupant to the roller. And a reed switch which is mounted on one of the spokes of the rear wheel of the bicycle and rotates together with the rotation of the rear wheel and a reed switch which is mounted on a seat stay of the frame of the bicycle and senses the rotation of the permanent magnet. A steering angle detection device mounted on a handle of the bicycle and including a gyroscope for detecting a rotation angle of the handle; An information processing unit for receiving the information from the speed detecting device and the steering angle detecting device and calculating a traveling speed and a steering angle of the bicycle; A display device for displaying a virtual reality image of a bicycle traveling to an occupant wearing a bicycle occupant; And a virtual reality image of the virtual reality in which the bicycle is traveling, receives the speed and the steering angle of the bicycle from the information processing unit, and displays the virtual reality image matching the speed and the steering angle on the display device according to the speed and the steering angle of the bicycle And a control computer for providing information on a load on the roller device, which is added to the running of the bicycle in a virtual running environment of the bicycle included in the image information of the virtual reality.

In the bicycle traveling system of the present invention, the steering angle detecting device and the speed detecting device are mounted on the bicycle. Steering angle information and speed information from the steering angle detecting device and the speed detecting device are transmitted to an information processing section, which may be mounted on a bicycle, a control computer, a roller device, or other position.

The bicycle is equipped with a steering angle detecting device and a speed detecting device. After the bicycle is mounted on the roller device, the passenger rides the bicycle while turning the pedal, rotating the steering wheel, and the like. The passenger of the bicycle is provided with the image information of the virtual reality provided by the control computer through the display device.

When the bicycle rider climbs the uphill road, for example, when the bicycle rider turns the handle along the bicycle riding route provided by the image information, the control computer provides information of the load to the rider in accordance with the uphill slope, Increases the variable resistance according to the received load information. As a result, an increased resistance is applied to the rotating rear wheel in contact with the roller, and the occupant experiences an increased load on the bicycle, such as climbing up a virtual reality image.

When the bicycle travel path provided by the image information is downhill, the control computer provides the load information corresponding to the downhill inclination to the rollers, and the passenger experiences a reduced load in the bicycle traveling as on the downhill road.

If the bicycle on which the rider is traveling is provided with a speed change gear, the rider can shift the gear in accordance with the downhill or uphill, thereby maintaining the running speed of the bicycle constant or increasing or decreasing the torque to turn the pedal.

The speed and the steering angle detected from the traveling bicycle are input to the control computer through the information processing unit, and the control computer adjusts the image information provided to the display device according to the input speed and the steering angle. That is, by changing the speed and position of the bicycle in the image information provided to the display device according to the speed and the steering angle of the bicycle, the bicycle occupant can experience an actual movement in the image of the virtual reality.

In the bicycle traveling system of the present invention, since the steering angle detecting device is made of the gyroscope, it is possible to detect the steering angle of the steering wheel only by attaching it to the handle of the bicycle and there is no need to change the structure of the steering wheel.

The speed detecting device includes a permanent magnet mounted on a spoke of a rear wheel and a reed switch mounted on a seat stay of the frame. When the rear wheel rotates, the permanent magnet rotates together with the rear wheel and passes through a reed switch do. The information processing section calculates the rotational speed of the rear wheel in accordance with the on / off signal from the reed switch, multiplies the circumferential length of the rear wheel by the amount of rotation of the rear wheel, The traveling speed of the vehicle can be calculated.

Therefore, in the traveling system of the present invention, when the information of the circumference of the rear wheel is inputted, the accurate linear velocity of the bicycle can be calculated regardless of the gear shift of the bicycle. It is also sufficient to attach the reed switch and the permanent magnet to the bicycle without changing the structure of the bicycle.

Further, in the roller device, the rear wheel of the bicycle is mounted on the support bar and supported by the roller. Since the support bar is rotatable around the single axis, the weight applied to the rear wheel, i.e., the weight of the bicycle and the weight of the passenger A variable frictional resistance according to the weight of the occupant and the bicycle is applied between the roller and the rear wheel since the weight is supported by the roller in a state of receiving the force applied to the rear wheel. Therefore, in the rotation of the rear wheel, a load varying depending on the weight of the bicycle and the occupant is applied in addition to the load varying according to the inclination of the traveling path on the virtual reality.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the bicycle traveling system of the present invention does not change the structure of the bicycle, and a user using the system of the present invention can use the bicycle with his or her own speed sensing device and steering angle detection device only.

Further, the system of the present invention does not have a complicated driving device for giving a driving condition according to a virtual reality in the configuration of a conventional fixed roller type traveling device, but a supporting bar that can be rotated around only one axis and a simple The load applied to the running of the bicycle can be realized as it is in actual bicycle driving situations.

The system of the present invention may allow a plurality of users to experience driving in a virtual reality together. The control computer may receive the speed and steering angle information from the information processing unit connected to the plurality of bicycles and simultaneously transmit the image information of the virtual reality to the display device worn by the passengers of the plurality of bicycles.

Further, the control computer is not limited to a single computer device but may be composed of a plurality of computers connected to each other through a communication network. For example, the information processing unit receives information from a speed detecting device and a steering angle detecting device mounted on their bicycles by users at positions separated from each other, and receives information from the information processing unit and transmits information of the load to the roller devices of the respective bicycles And this computer can be connected to a server computer.

The server computer receives the running information of the first bicycle from the first computer connected to the first bicycle and transmits the information to the second computer connected to the second bicycle, and the second computer receives the running information from the first computer Is displayed on the display device so that the passenger of the second bicycle can experience the same driving experience as the passenger of the first bicycle in the virtual reality through the display device.

As described above, the bicycle traveling system of the present invention does not change the structure of a normal bicycle and adds a device of a relatively simple structure, so that it is possible to experience a bicycle traveling very similar to an actual bicycle traveling in a virtual reality.

1 is a view showing the overall configuration of a bicycle traveling system according to an embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a view showing a roller device viewed from the rear side of the bicycle.
3 is a schematic view showing an information transmission path in a traveling system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the bicycle traveling system according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

First, the configuration and operation of a bicycle traveling system configured for one bicycle will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. FIG.

Fig. 1 shows a roller device 20 of the bicycle traveling system of the present embodiment, a bicycle 10 mounted on the roller device, and a user 1 aboard the bicycle. Fig. 2 shows a state in which the rear wheel 13 of the bicycle is mounted on the roller device 20. Fig.

The bicycle 10 is shown as a cycle of a conventional structure in which the bicycle includes a frame 11, a front wheel 12, a rear wheel 13, a crank 14, a pedal 15, a chain 16 and a rear wheel 13 A chain sprocket 17, a saddle 18, and a handle 19 coupled to the chain sprocket 17, The bicycle 10 is further provided with a brake, a transmission, and the like, but the illustration and description of the configuration that is independent of the traveling system of the present embodiment are omitted.

A rear wheel (13) of the bicycle (10) is mounted on the roller device (20).

The roller device 20 includes a base frame 21 that rests on the ground and to which other components of the roller device are coupled. Two supporting bars 22 are mounted on both sides of the base frame 21 in the width direction. One end of each support bar 22 is rotatably coupled to the front side of the base frame 21, and the rear wheel 13 of the bicycle is fixed to the other end.

The rear wheel 13 of the ordinary bicycle is fixed to the lower end of the seat stay 111 of the frame 11 of the non-rotating portion of the hub 135 and the support shaft 132 passes through the hub 135 of the rear wheel, (111).

In the present embodiment, the other end of the support bar 22 is provided with fixing portions 221 and 222 to which both ends of the support shaft 132 of the rear wheel 13 are fixed. The support shaft 132 of the rear wheel is fixedly inserted into the fixing part 221 of one side and the fixing part 222 of the other side is moved by the lever 223, The support shaft 132 of the rear wheel is fixed by projecting the fixing part 222 of one side by rotating the lever 223 in a state in which it is placed between the fixing parts 221 and 222.

A roller 23 is provided on the upper surface of the rear side of the base frame 21 of the roller device 20. The roller 23 is formed as a rotatable cylindrical shape so as to allow the tire of the rear wheel 13 to contact and roll, and is rotatably supported by the support portion 25. A magnetic brake (24) is provided coaxially on one side of the roller (23) in the axial direction.

The magnetic brake 24 is formed of a magnetic clutch and applies a variable resistance to the rotation of the roller 23 by increasing or decreasing the magnetic attractive force between the clutches according to the applied current. Therefore, a variable load for the rotation of the roller 23 is applied by the current applied to the magnetic brake 24, thereby providing a variable load for rotation of the rear wheel 13. [

On the other hand, although the magnetic brake 24 is used in the present embodiment, an electric motor may be used instead of the magnetic brake to provide a variable load to the rotation of the rear wheel.

A permanent magnet 31 made of Neodymium magnet is attached to one of the spokes 131 of the rear wheel. A reed switch 32 is attached to the seat stay 111 of the frame at a position corresponding to the attachment position of the permanent magnet.

When the rear wheel 13 rotates, the permanent magnet 31 also rotates. As the permanent magnet 31 passes through the reed switch 32, the reed switch 32 generates an on-off signal. Since the ON / OFF of the reed switch 32 corresponds to one rotation of the rear wheel 13, the rotational speed of the rear wheel 13 is measured by the ON / OFF count of the reed switch 31 per a predetermined time. The running speed of the bicycle 1 is calculated by multiplying the rotational speed by the circumference of the rear wheel 13. [

A steering sensor 41 composed of a gyroscope is attached to the upper end of the fork 112, which is mounted on the front wheel 12 of the bicycle and rotates in accordance with the rotation of the handle 19, as a steering angle detecting device.

It is sufficient that the gyroscope constituting the steering sensor 41 is constituted by measuring only the rotation of one axis instead of the three axes. Since the rotational angle of the fork 112 measured by the gyroscope is the rotational angle of the front wheel 12, the steering angle of the front wheel 12 is calculated by the steering sensor 41.

3, measurement signals from the steering sensor 41 and the reed switch 32 are transmitted to the information processing section 50. [ The steering sensor 41 and the reed switch 32 are connected to the information processing unit 50 via a WiFi module or other local communication module so that the steering angle measured by the steering sensor 41 and the on- do. The steering sensor 41 and the reed switch 32 may be connected to the information processing unit 50 by wire to transmit the information without using the wireless transmission system.

The information processing unit 50 receives the information from the steering sensor 41 and transmits it to the control computer 60 as the steering angle information of the front wheel 12. Off signal from the reed switch 32 and calculates the running speed of the bicycle 1 in accordance with the number of the on-off signals per predetermined time interval and the circumferential length of the previously inputted rear wheel, and outputs it to the control computer 60 .

The control computer 60 stores information on a route and an inclination of a virtual reality image and a traveling route to the surrounding environment and the traveling route on which the bicycle travels.

Referring again to FIG. 1, the user 1 of the bicycle wears a head mount display (head mount display) 70 provided with an image of a virtual reality stored in the control computer 60 during bicycle travel .

In this display 70, an image of a virtual reality relating to bicycle travel is provided and displayed from the control computer 60, and the bicycle user 1 is allowed to experience the same experience as traveling in a virtual reality while driving on the roller device 20 .

Referring again to FIG. 3, the control computer 60 transmits a control signal to the magnetic brake 24 of the roller device in accordance with the information of the gradient of the running route stored. According to such a control signal, the magnetic brake 24 increases the braking force on the uphill road on the virtual reality and applies a high load to the rotation of the roller 23. In the downhill on the virtual reality, the braking force is lowered, A low load is applied.

The control computer 60 determines the traveling speed and the steering angle of the bicycle 10 on the basis of the steering angle information of the front wheel and the speed information of the bicycle received from the information processing unit 50, And the image information corresponding to the steering angle.

The bicycle user 1 attaches the steering sensor 41, the reed switch 32 and the permanent magnet 31 to the bicycle 10 and mounts the bicycle 10 to the roller device 20 . Then, the user 1 wears the head mount display 70 and rides on the bicycle 10 to drive.

The user 1 is provided with an initial image of the bicycle traveling path on the virtual reality from the control computer 60. [ When the user 1 starts turning the pedal, the on / off information from the reed switch 32 is transmitted to the information processing unit 50 and the information processing unit 50 converts the on / ).

The control computer 60 calculates the distance traveled by the bicycle 10 on the virtual reality according to the speed of the received bicycle and provides the image corresponding to the distance to the head mount display 70 of the user 1. [ Through this, the user (1) can experience the same feeling as if he actually rides a bicycle in a virtual reality.

The user 1 steers the steering wheel of the bicycle 10 in accordance with the bending of the bicycle when there is a curvature in the traveling path of the bicycle from the image of the virtual reality provided to the user 1, And the information of the steering angle is inputted to the control computer 60 via the information processing unit 50. [

The control computer 60 adjusts the traveling direction of the bicycle on the virtual reality according to the information of the steering angle of the bicycle and transmits the image corresponding thereto to the head mount display 50. [

The control computer 60 sends a control signal to the magnetic brake 24 of the roller device 20 in accordance with the inclination information of the inclined road. The braking force for the rotation of the roller 23 is increased or decreased in accordance with a control signal.

For example, when an image of an uphill road is provided in a running road on a virtual reality and the braking force against the rotation of the roller 23 is increased in accordance with the inclination of the uphill road, the bicycle user 1 can see the image of the uphill road, Experience the load and experience the same as climbing up a bike.

As described above, the cyclist 1 experiences the same experience as the actual bicycle while traveling the bicycle in the virtual reality by the bicycle traveling system according to the present embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 3, the control computer 60 may be connected to the server 80 through an Internet network or an intranet. Another control computer 60 is connected to the server 80 and each control computer 60 is provided with an information processing unit 50 and sensors 32 and 41 for providing the running information of the bicycle to the information processing unit, (20) are connected.

Through this configuration, a plurality of bicycle users can connect to the server 80 via their respective control computers 60 with the respective bicycle 10 and the bicycle running system of this embodiment.

The server 80 can provide images and information of the traveling road on the virtual reality to the respective control computers 60 connected to the server and simultaneously access them to experience the virtual reality using the images of the same bicycle traveling road And provide the driving information of the users to the control computers.

Each control computer 60 further provides the bicycle image of another user to the head mount display 70 based on the traveling information of other users provided from the server 80, You can experience bike riding or bicycle racing along with the people.

Although not described in the present embodiment, a vibration motor may be mounted on the handle or frame of the bicycle. The vibration motor is connected to the control computer and receives the control signal according to the road surface condition of the bicycle traveling path in the virtual reality from the control computer and can rotate.

For example, when the bicycle travels on a rough road in a virtual reality, the control computer transmits a control signal to rotate the vibration motor, and vibration is transmitted to the bicycle as the vibration motor rotates in response to this signal. It is possible to experience the same as when the bicycle vibrates while driving.

The embodiments of the bicycle traveling system according to the present invention have been described above, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications and changes may be made within the scope of the claims.
