Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a special effect four-dimensional (4D) chair provided with wind blowing and hot air functions and a special effect system including the same.
  • the 4D technique refers to a technique which gives a sense of reality to movie viewers by providing physical effects (spray of water bubbles, vibration or movement of a seat, strobe lights, emission of smell and the like) together with 3D stereoscopic images.
  • 4D in the sense that a technique is added to the 3D, this is a kind of marketing terminology rather than a technical terminology.
  • the 4D technique is not necessarily accompanied by a 3D stereoscopic image, and when an image needs to be played in a 4D facility although the image itself is manufactured as a general image, not a 3D stereoscopic image, it can be implemented by providing physical effects to a 2D general image. Accordingly, the most outstanding feature of the 4D technique is giving a physical stimulus to the audience in addition to the image.
  • the 4D technique reaches the level of making the audience visually, acoustically and olfactorily feel a situation close to a real situation when the audience watch a movie, and a tactile effect using hot air is also developed.
  • a conventional technique using hot air is a method of discharging the hot air from the cushion of the backrest of a front chair to a back chair. Since temperature of the hot air rapidly drops from the moment of discharging the hot air through the outlet due to the distance between the front chair and the back chair, a heating element which generates heat requires high power in order to obtain a high hot air effect, and a wind blower which generates wind also requires high power. In addition, since noises are generated by the rotation speed of a fan which rotates faster if power consumption of the wind blower is higher, excessive noise in feeling the hot air rather hinders the audience from enjoying the movie.
  • the cost increased by using the power for the effect of hot air is larger than the profit of playing the movie in a theater, and thus using the 4D effect of hot air in a theater is avoided.
  • the heating element, the wind blower and the like should be adjusted and controlled according to the distance between the front chair and the back chair in order to provide an adequate effect of hot air to a viewer seated in the back chair.
  • the cost of using the power according to the effect of hot air is expected to be increased furthermore, and thus the 4D technique is difficult to be commercialized in a country adopting a wide distance between the front chair and the back chair.
  • the conventional technique mounts a temperature sensor (bimetal) in the neighborhood of a hot air module, and if temperature goes above a predetermined level, the temperature sensor operates and cuts off the power. At this point, if a defect occurs in the temperature sensor, there is a high risk of fire since temperature of the heating element cannot be controlled.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to reduce the cost of installing and using 4D chairs in a theater by reducing the power needed for generating hot air.
  • another object of the present invention is to reduce the noise of rotation of a fan which hinders watching a movie by making it possible to obtain a sufficient effect of hot air although the speed of the fan is lowered and provide the audience with comfort by providing an adequate strength of hot air when the audience feel the hot air.
  • another object of the present invention is to lower the manufacturing and maintenance cost of the 4D effect chairs by miniaturizing and simplifying a module for generating a hot air effect and secure more space in a chair to mount different visual, acoustic, olfactory and vibratory effects on the chair.
  • Another object of the present invention is to prevent breakout of a fire more effectively by using the resistance switching characteristics of a material itself which generates heat, without installing and controlling a temperature sensor.
  • a special effect chair including: a chair; a heating element installed inside the chair; a wind blowing unit for circulating air heated by the heating element; and a discharge unit for discharging the air circulated by the wind blowing unit to the outside of the chair, and the discharge unit is positioned on the front side of the chair and may include an air vent blade for controlling the direction or the amount of the discharged air.
  • the heating element may be formed of a material which abruptly increases a resistance value at a specific temperature or higher, and the heating element includes a PTC heater.
  • the special effect chair may further include a switch for controlling operation of the heating element or the wind blowing unit.
  • the special effect chair of the present invention may further include a heat storage unit for conserving the air heated by the heating element, and the heat storage unit may be combined on the surface of the heating element or may have a shape surrounding the heating element.
  • the special effect chair of the present invention includes: a seat unit; a base unit for supporting lower part of the seat unit; and a backrest combined with the seat unit or the base unit and formed to be extended upward, and the discharge unit may be positioned on the front side of the backrest.
  • the discharge unit may be positioned at an upper portion on the front side of the backrest, and the heating element may be arranged inside the backrest, between the center portion of the backrest and the upper portion where the discharge unit is formed.
  • the special effect chair of the present invention may further include an armrest combined at least at any one side of the seat unit or the backrest, and the discharge unit may be positioned in the armrest.
  • a special effect system of the present invention includes: a special effect chair including a heating element installed inside the chair, a wind blowing unit for circulating air heated by the heating element, and a discharge unit for discharging the air circulated by the wind blowing unit to the outside of the chair; and a control server for controlling at least any one of the heating element and the wind blowing unit of the chair.
  • the present invention may reduce the power needed for generating the hot air as much as about one twentieth from 2,000 W to 100 W per unit of a 4D chair by reducing an injection distance, miniaturizing a hot air generating module and using a heat storage plate, and, accordingly, the cost of installing and using the 4D chair in a theater can be reduced drastically.
  • the noise and power of a fan can be reduced naturally by reducing the injection distance and miniaturizing the hot air generating module, and since the hot air is injected at a wind speed adequate for the audience to feel the hot air, an effect of providing comfort can be obtained.
  • the heating element of the present invention uses a material which abruptly increases the resistance value at a specific temperature or higher, a temperature sensor does not need to be additionally installed unlike the configuration of a conventional technique, and thus the manufacturing cost is reduced, and although the conventional technique has a risk of fire caused by the defect or failure of the temperature sensor, the present invention is more adequate for preventing a fire since the stability of adjusting the temperature is rather higher although the temperature sensor is not equipped.
