Description

X-TYPE FOLDING BIKE USING EXTENDED REALITY}

The present invention relates to a folding bike, and more particularly, to an X-type folding bike utilizing expanded reality.

Bicycles are frequently used as a means of transportation between Seoul, Tokyo, New York, and large metropolitan trains between trains and transit stations. Bicycles need to be portable, eco-friendly, and lightweight for the intermediate connection of vehicles.

Rear-wheel-driven bicycles are not suitable for commuting due to the weight and clothing contamination of long chains and lubricating grease.

The folding rear-wheel drive bicycle has structural limitations when folded because of the chain.

In addition, the front wheel-driven folding bike has a problem in that continuous pedaling is difficult because the distance between the pedal located on the inner ring and the pedal located on the outer ring varies greatly from the saddle by handling that changes direction to one side during cornering.

The present invention was derived to solve the problems of the prior art described above, and the object of the present invention is to supplement the shortcomings of the front-wheel-driven folding bike to maintain pedaling even in cornering and to utilize an X-type folding bike that can utilize expanded reality To provide.

An X-type folding bicycle according to an aspect of the present invention for solving the above technical problem is an X-type folding bicycle body; A front wheel coupled to the front side of the body; A rear wheel coupled to the rear side of the body; A saddle that is coupled to the upper side of the body and moves to the front side when cornering during bicycle operation; A display device installed on the front upper side of the body to output a screen toward the upper portion of the saddle; And a camera connected to the display device and photographing the periphery, wherein the saddle moves at a predetermined interval to the front side by a wire or chain coupled to the body when the handle of the body rotates left or right over a certain amount. Installed, the image of the camera is output to the display device as a screen applied to virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed reality.

According to the present invention, by compensating for the disadvantages of the front-wheel-driven folding bike, it is possible to maintain pedaling even in cornering, and it is possible to provide an X-type folding bike that utilizes expanded reality.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 8 are views for explaining an X-type folding bike having a spread saddle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1 to 8, the X-type folding bike is an X-type folding bike body; A front wheel coupled to the front side of the body; A rear wheel coupled to the rear side of the body; A saddle that is coupled to the upper side of the body and moves to the front side when cornering during bicycle operation; A display device installed on the front upper side of the body to output a screen toward the upper portion of the saddle; And a camera connected to the display device and photographing the periphery, wherein the saddle moves at a predetermined interval to the front side by a wire or chain coupled to the body when the handle of the body rotates left or right over a certain amount. Installed, the image of the camera is output to the display device as a screen applied to virtual reality, augmented reality or mixed reality (see FIG. 9).

The optimized spread effective angle of the X-folding bicycle is an important factor in the convenience of carrying, stable steering and straightness when riding, and the transmission power to the driving wheels. In particular, the even distribution and driving of the weight of the existing rear-wheel chain bicycle This is a very important factor in terms of stability.

In order to withstand the load-bearing durability of the lightweight X-folding bicycle, the X-folding method is somewhat more durable and instability due to play due to the dynamics of the hinge point and the load, but the X-folding bicycle of this embodiment is maintained. While spreading, it is possible to simultaneously develop an effective angle and realize load-bearing durability.

For the dynamic driving durability of the X-folding bicycle, there are variables that can threaten driving due to various irregularities and debris on the road, so it is possible to respond effectively by differentiating the diameter of the front and rear wheels. . In this case, since the specific gravity of the on-road and off-road of the front wheel is large, it is preferable to make the diameter of the front wheel larger than the rear wheel.

In addition, despite the policy of encouraging the use of various commuting bicycles in the metropolitan area as a solidified commuter transportation means, there is a difficulty in storage due to the problem of clothes and work-related commuting and the volume problem of the folding bicycle during commuting, but the bicycle of this embodiment is a problem. Can be minimized.

In addition, the front-wheel-driven bicycle of the present embodiment solves the problem that it is possible to go straight on the existing bicycle, but continuous pedaling is impossible when steering the cornering. In other words, there is no problem when the pedal located on the front wheel goes straight, but when handling to change the direction to one side, the pedal located on the inner ring and the pedal located on the outer ring have different distances from the saddle. You can solve the problem.

In other words, when turning left with an existing front-wheel drive bicycle, the left pedal of the front wheel is located inside the wheel, so it is not a problem, but the right pedal is located outside the wheel, so that the right pedaling is impossible away from the driver. It was the limit of the bike. In this embodiment, such a drawback is solved by a front wheel and an optimized spread smart saddle.

When the folding bicycle is operated, it is possible to take a variety of angles (spread angles) to expand in an X-shape according to the user's body size, purpose of operation, and degree of fatigue.

In this regard, it is possible to provide an optimal spread angle by interlocking with a sensor installed in a saddle of a folding bicycle, Bluetooth, NFC built into a smartphone, and the like. In addition, a smart phone holder is installed on the folding bike of the present embodiment, and a communication module for communication with a smart phone may be installed on the bicycle body, saddle, or cradle.

As a communication module installed in the cradle, NFC (Near Field Communication) communication module or Bluetooth communication module for wireless communication with a smartphone may be installed. It may be configured to identify by transmitting the unique device IP of the smartphone to the control unit through communication with the smartphone.

Alternatively, the cradle is connected to the controller through a signal line, and may be configured to transmit data transmitted from the controller to the cradle through a communication module to a smartphone.

A pressure sensor may be adopted as a sensor installed on the saddle of the folding bike of this embodiment.

In daily metro commuting, not on leisure bicycles or on-road or off-road leisure leisure bicycles, customers can use the trunk of a car in a large metropolitan area where demands of eco-friendly transportation and demands (NEEDS) are intensified by reducing the operation of cars and using public transportation. It can be folded and folded easily to induce the use of bicycles for commuting between subway transit stations and automobiles and subways and companies, thereby saving energy in the city and reducing environmental protection fine dust.

The method of validating the optimum spread angle of the simple and lightweight bicycle method of the X-folding bicycle of this embodiment can be both smartphone interlocking and bicycle self-configuration, and through this, it is possible to supply eco-friendly commuting bicycles.

In addition, the bicycle of the present embodiment has an advantage that a unique design (possible to drive all wheels when an effective spread angle is applied) can also increase a user's personality or satisfaction.

Although described above with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art variously modify and change the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below. You can understand that you can.
