Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of simulation model technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional war game board. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the demand for wargaming exercises in combat-oriented training is becoming increasingly urgent. In actual combat, the undulations of terrain directly affect the marching speed of troops. Traditional wargaming boards are mostly flat maps. This flat design cannot accurately represent the changes in elevation in areas with large terrain undulations, such as mountains and cities. This leads to a deviation between the simulation results and the actual marching speed, which in turn affects the decision-making of the simulation participants. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application proposes a three-dimensional wargame board, including: a chessboard, a support, a positioning grid, and two or more wargame map grid unit components;

[0004] The chessboard and the positioning grid are set opposite each other, and the bracket is set between the positioning grid and the chessboard. One end of the wargame map grid unit component passes through the positioning grid and is detachably connected to the chessboard.

[0005] The chessboard has two or more locking slots arranged in an array; the positioning grid has two or more fixing holes arranged in an array, and each fixing hole corresponds to one of the locking slots.

[0006] Each wargaming grid unit component includes: a height adjustment device and a wargaming grid unit cap; one end of the height adjustment device passes through a fixing hole and is embedded in a snap-fit ​​groove; the wargaming grid unit cap has a cavity with one open end, and the other end of the height adjustment device extends into the cavity of the wargaming grid unit cap and is movably connected to the wargaming grid unit cap, and the direction of movement of the wargaming grid unit cap is perpendicular to the plane of the chessboard.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the height adjustment device includes a bolt and a nut; the nut is fixedly disposed at one end of the bolt, and the end of the bolt facing away from the nut is screwed to a grid unit cap on the wargaming map.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the opening of the wargaming grid unit cap is provided with a wargaming base; the wargaming base has a threaded hole that matches the bolt, and the end of the bolt away from the nut is threadedly connected to the wargaming base and then inserted into the cavity of the wargaming grid unit cap.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the wargame map grid unit cap has a top cap at the end opposite to the wargame base.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the main body of the wargaming map grid unit cap is a hexagonal prism structure.

[0011] In one possible implementation, there are four supports; the four supports are located at the four corners of the chessboard.

[0012] In one possible implementation, each card slot is equipped with a strong magnetic sheet.

[0013] In one possible implementation, two strong magnetic strips are provided on each side wall of the chessboard.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a preset distance is provided between the two strong magnetic strips.

[0015] Beneficial effects of this application

[0016] Compared to existing planar wargame boards, the adjustable height design of the wargame map grid unit components allows them to simulate the altitude of the simulation scenario. These unit components work in conjunction with the board's framework. During simulations, based on the topographic map or elevation data of the target area, each unit is adjusted to its appropriate height and placed within the board framework. This results in the three-dimensional wargame board presenting a near-realistic three-dimensional model of the terrain.

In some instances, methods, means, components, and circuits well-known to those skilled in the art have not been described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0030] This application proposes a three-dimensional wargame board, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, the system includes a chessboard 100, a support 200, a positioning grid 300, and a wargaming map grid unit assembly 400. The chessboard 100 and the positioning grid 300 are arranged opposite each other. The support 200 is positioned between the positioning grid 300 and the chessboard 100. One end of the wargaming map grid unit assembly 400 passes through the positioning grid 300 and is detachably connected to the chessboard 100. The chessboard 100 has two or more snap-fit ​​slots arranged in an array. The positioning grid 300 has two or more fixing holes 310 arranged in an array. One or more fixing holes 310 are provided one-to-one with two or more snap-fit ​​slots. Each war game grid unit component 400 includes: a height adjustment device 410 and a war game grid unit cap 420. One end of the height adjustment device 410 passes through the fixing hole 310 and is embedded in the snap-fit ​​slot. The war game grid unit cap 420 has a cavity with one open end. The other end of the height adjustment device 410 extends into the cavity of the war game grid unit cap 420 and is movably connected to the war game grid unit cap 420. The direction of movement of the war game grid unit cap 420 is perpendicular to the plane of the chessboard 100.

[0031] It should be noted that the horizontal plane of the chessboard 100 is parallel to the horizontal plane of the positioning grid 300. The chessboard 100 provides a stable plane for the placement and movement of the wargaming grid unit component 400. The support 200 provides stable support for the supporting grid. Both ends of the support 200 are fixedly connected to the positioning grid 300 and the chessboard 100, respectively, and the length of the support 200 is perpendicular to the plane of the chessboard 100. The positioning grid 300 is used to fix or position the wargaming grid unit component 400, ensuring the accurate placement and movement of the wargaming grid unit component 400 on the chessboard 100. The chessboard 100, support 200, and positioning grid 300 together form a three-dimensional chessboard framework. The skeleton is suitable for simulating three-dimensional terrain or multi-story buildings, giving the entire chessboard 100 a three-dimensional visual effect and ensuring that the simulation is closer to reality. The detachable connection between the chessboard 100 and the wargaming grid unit component 400 allows the wargaming grid unit component 400 to be flexibly changed and adjusted on the chessboard 100 according to the simulation scenario and rules, which facilitates the management and use of the wargaming grid unit component 400. The wargaming grid unit component 400 is suitable for simulating the altitude of the simulation scenario. When simulating three-dimensional terrain, adjusting the height of the wargaming grid unit component 400 can represent the undulations of mountains, the depth of valleys, and other terrain changes, thereby better reflecting the impact of terrain on combat.

[0032] Compared to existing planar wargame boards, the height-adjustable design of the wargame map grid unit component 400 allows it to simulate the elevation of the simulation scenario. The wargame map grid unit component 400 works in conjunction with the game board framework during simulations, such as... Figure 6 As shown, based on the topographic map or elevation data of the target area, each wargaming grid unit component 400 is adjusted to the corresponding height and placed inside the chessboard skeleton, so that the three-dimensional wargaming chessboard of this application presents a three-dimensional model of a near-real terrain. The strategist can accurately deduce the actual marching speed based on the terrain changes, which greatly improves the scientificity and guidance of tactical simulation and provides a more intuitive and accurate visual reference for simulation.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the snap-fit ​​design ensures that the wargaming grid unit component 400 is stably placed on the chessboard 100 during the simulation. The fixing holes 310 correspond one-to-one with the snap-fit ​​slots, and the snap-fit ​​slots are adapted to the outer contour of one end of the wargaming grid unit component 400, allowing one end of the wargaming grid unit component 400 to pass through the fixing hole 310 and be embedded in the snap-fit ​​slot. This achieves a stable connection between the wargaming grid unit component 400 and the chessboard 100. The design of the fixing hole 310 prevents the wargaming grid unit component 400 from moving or slipping off the chessboard 100 due to collisions or vibrations during the simulation, thus enhancing the stability of the wargaming grid unit component 400 on the chessboard 100. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the design of the wargaming grid unit cap 420 with an open cavity at one end provides a space for the height adjustment device 410, allowing the height adjustment device 410 to work stably inside the wargaming grid unit cap 420. By changing the length of the height adjustment device 410 inserted into the wargaming grid unit cap 420, the height of the wargaming grid unit cap 420 can be changed, thereby representing military units or terrain at different altitudes.

[0034] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, there are four supports 200; the four supports 200 are located at the four corners of the chessboard 100. It should be noted that the four supports 200 are parallel to each other along their length and are arranged opposite each other in pairs. The two ends of the four supports 200 are fixedly connected to the positioning grid 300 and the chessboard 100, respectively. The four supports 200 can also evenly distribute the load of the positioning grid 300, preventing the positioning grid 300 from tilting or shaking and causing displacement of the wargaming grid unit component 400, thus ensuring that the wargaming grid unit component 400 can operate and deduce in a stable environment.

[0035] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the height adjustment device 410 includes a bolt 411 and a nut 412; the nut 412 is fixedly disposed at one end of the bolt 411, and the end of the bolt 411 facing away from the nut 412 is screwed to the grid unit cap 420 of the war game map.

[0036] It should be noted that the outer contour of the nut 412 matches the snap-fit ​​groove of the base. One end of the bolt 411 is detachably installed in the snap-fit ​​groove of the base through the nut 412, and the other end of the bolt 411 is inserted into the cavity of the wargaming grid unit cap 420 through the opening and is threadedly connected to the wargaming grid unit cap 420. The bolt 411 achieves a firm connection between the height adjustment device 410 and the wargaming grid unit cap 420 by screwing the bolt 411 in or out of the cavity of the wargaming grid unit cap 420. This can drive the wargaming grid unit cap 420 to move along the axial direction of the bolt 411, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the height of the wargaming grid unit cap 420.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a wargaming base 421 is provided at the opening of the wargaming grid unit cap 420. The wargaming base 421 has a threaded hole that matches the bolt 411, and the bolt 411 is threadedly connected to the wargaming base 421. It should be noted that the wargaming base 421 is fixedly installed at the opening at one end of the wargaming grid unit cap 420. One end of the bolt 411 is threadedly connected to the wargaming base 421, and the bolt 411 can be screwed in and out of the threaded hole in the wargaming base 421. When the bolt 411 rotates clockwise, it passes through the wargaming base 421 and screws into the cavity of the wargaming grid unit cap 420. The wargaming base 421 moves in the direction towards the chessboard 100, thereby moving the wargaming map. The grid unit cap 420 moves downward along the axis of the bolt 411. When the bolt 411 rotates counterclockwise, the bolt 411 passes through the war game base 421 and unscrews out of the cavity of the war game grid unit cap 420. The war game base 421 moves in a direction away from the chessboard 100, thereby driving the war game grid unit cap 420 to move upward along the axis of the bolt 411. The mutual cooperation between the bolt 411 and the war game base 421 realizes the precise adjustment of the height of the war game grid unit cap 420.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the wargaming grid unit cap 420 has a top cap 422 at the end opposite to the wargaming chassis 421. It should be noted that the top cap 422 is fixedly installed on the top of the wargaming grid unit cap 420, and is used to cover the top opening of the wargaming grid unit cap 420. This prevents the height adjustment device 410 from accidentally protruding from the top of the wargaming grid unit cap 420 during adjustment, ensuring that the height adjustment device 410 remains inside the wargaming grid unit cap 420 during adjustment, avoiding safety hazards caused by the device protruding. At the same time, the top cap 422 prevents external objects or impurities from entering the wargaming grid unit cap 420 and damaging the height adjustment device 410, thus extending the service life of the wargaming grid unit assembly 400.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the main body of the wargaming grid unit cap 420 is a hexagonal prism structure. It should be noted that the hexagonal prism structure of the wargaming grid unit cap 420 provides better anti-tipping performance compared to cylindrical or other shaped wargaming pieces. When the center of gravity of the wargaming grid unit cap 420 is high or it is subjected to external forces, the hexagonal prism structure effectively prevents the entire wargaming grid unit assembly 400 from shaking or tipping over, ensuring that the wargaming grid unit assembly 400 maintains a stable posture on the chessboard 100. The fixing holes 310 of the positioning grid 300 all match the outer contour of the wargaming grid unit cap 420, preventing the wargaming grid unit cap 420 from rotating within the fixing holes 310 when the height adjustment device 410 adjusts the height of the wargaming grid unit cap 420, thus ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment.

[0040] In one possible implementation, each slot is equipped with a strong magnetic sheet 110. It should be noted that the strong magnetic sheet 110 generates a strong magnetic force. When the nut 412 of the wargaming grid unit assembly 400 is placed in the slot, the magnetic force firmly attracts the nut 412 to the slot of the chessboard 100, thus preventing accidental displacement of the wargaming grid unit assembly 400 on the chessboard 100. This ensures that the wargaming grid unit assembly 400 remains in the correct position during the simulation, guaranteeing the accuracy of the simulation.

[0041] In one possible implementation, each side wall of the chessboard 100 is provided with two strong magnetic strips 120. It should be noted that the strong magnetic strips 120 on each side wall of the chessboard 100 facilitate the assembly of the three-dimensional wargame chessboard of this application. Users can combine multiple chessboards 100 according to the actual needs of the simulation, such as simulating large-scale war scenarios or complex strategic layouts. This free assembly method breaks the size limitation of a single chessboard 100, enabling the flexible construction of wargame chessboards of any size. Simultaneously, the connection method of the strong magnetic strips 120 makes the disassembly process of multiple three-dimensional wargame chessboards simple and quick. When a three-dimensional wargame chessboard is damaged, the damaged chessboard can be repaired or replaced individually, reducing replacement costs.

[0042] Furthermore, each side wall of the chessboard 100 is provided with two strong magnetic strips 120. The length directions of the two strong magnetic strips 120 are parallel to each other. The two strong magnetic strips 120 with parallel length directions can provide a stronger magnetic force to connect adjacent chessboards 100. When multiple chessboards 100 are spliced ​​together, this design of double strong magnetic strips 120 can make the connection between two adjacent chessboards 100 more secure. There is a preset distance between the two strong magnetic strips 120 on each side wall of the chessboard 100. This distribution helps to disperse the pressure when the chessboards 100 are spliced ​​together. When multiple chessboards 100 are spliced ​​together, the connection will bear a certain amount of tensile and shear forces. The spaced distribution of the two strong magnetic strips 120 can make these forces more evenly distributed on the side of the chessboard 100, ensuring the firmness of the connection between two adjacent chessboards 100.

[0043] Furthermore, the preset distance between the two strong magnetic strips 120 is in the range of 10mm-50mm, and preferably, the preset distance between the two strong magnetic strips 120 is 20mm.

[0044] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
