Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of devices for simulating environments, and more particularly to a device for simulating windy environments. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, virtual reality and environmental simulation technologies are increasingly being widely applied in various entertainment, education, and scenic area industries. Especially in simulating natural environments and weather phenomena, while existing technologies have made some progress, many shortcomings remain. Traditional landscape simulation devices often use physical mechanical structures to simulate the impact of wind on plants by mechanically moving or pulling them; however, this method often faces problems such as high cost and safety.

[0003] Existing landscape simulation devices typically rely on mechanical devices to physically simulate the swaying of vegetation in windy conditions. These techniques generally achieve satisfactory results when simulating small-scale or individual plants. Specifically, by driving mechanical devices, the dynamic behavior of vegetation under wind can be simulated, providing viewers with a landscape experience similar to that in a natural environment. However, when attempting to achieve the swaying effect of large-scale vegetation, existing technologies face a series of challenges. First, using physical devices such as mechanical linkages to drive a large number of plants requires enormous equipment and structures, leading to a significant increase in costs. Second, the stability and safety of the mechanical equipment become issues, especially under prolonged operation or high-intensity use, which may result in equipment failure, affecting the simulation effect and even posing potential safety hazards. Furthermore, traditional mechanical methods have limitations in precisely controlling wind changes, making it difficult to realistically reproduce the diversity and complexity of wind forces in nature.

[0004] In summary, while existing technologies can achieve certain effects on a small scale, they face problems such as high cost, low security, and insufficient control precision when applied on a large scale.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a new device that can realize the dynamic display of natural landscapes at a lower cost, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies in terms of large-scale vegetation swaying and safety. Utility Model Content

[0025] With the development of technology, virtual reality and environmental simulation technologies have been widely applied in industries such as entertainment, education, and scenic spots. Traditional landscape simulation devices rely on mechanical devices to simulate the impact of wind on vegetation, making them suitable for small-scale applications. For large-scale simulations, these mechanical devices face challenges such as high cost, bulky equipment, and stability issues. Prolonged operation of the equipment may lead to malfunctions, affecting the overall effect and posing safety hazards. Traditional methods also have limitations in precisely controlling wind changes, making it difficult to realistically reproduce the diversity of natural wind forces.

[0026] Therefore, this utility model provides a device for simulating windy conditions, enabling dynamic display of natural scenery at a lower cost, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies in terms of large-scale vegetation swaying and safety.

[0027] Specifically, this device simulating a windy environment dynamically displays natural scenery through multiple interactive technologies, offering lower cost and greater safety. Projector 1, the sound module, and blower 5 are connected to the control unit, simulating wind force, visuals, and sound effects respectively to create a realistic wind effect. By incorporating a simulated tree-shaped component 4, the device can present a swaying plant effect, providing a sense of realism. The combination of blower 5 and projector 1 effectively simulates wind changes over a large area, avoiding the high cost and malfunction issues of mechanical devices. The overall design enables the system to operate stably in large-scale scenarios, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.

[0028] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 A device for simulating a windy environment includes: a control unit, an image module 2, a projector 1, a sound module, a styling component 4, and a blowing component. The projector 1 is located in front of the styling component 4, and the projector 1, the sound module, and the blowing component are respectively connected to the control unit.

[0030] Specifically, the device needs to be placed in the same space, and the control unit, as the central hub of the entire system, is responsible for coordinating the operation of the image module 2, projector 1, sound module and blower assembly to ensure that all parts operate synchronously.

[0031] The image module 2 contains a pre-made video of branches and leaves swaying in the wind, which is simulated based on the lighting effects in the actual natural environment. It is used to project onto the modeling component 4 to create the illusion of plant movement.

[0032] Projector 1 is typically located in front of the modeling component 4, projecting the content from the image module 2 onto the modeling component 4. The number of projectors 1 can be adjusted according to the needs of the venue to cover a larger area or enhance the visual effect.

[0033] The sound module plays wind-related sound effects to enhance the realism of the auditory experience. The number and placement of the speakers 3 should be considered to optimize sound propagation.

[0034] Modeling component 4 includes simulated trees or other lush vegetation, requiring dense and abundant branches and leaves to better present the image projection effect and provide a more realistic sensory experience.

[0035] The function of the blower component depends on the specific needs of the scenario. The blower component's purpose is to blow airflow towards the user, mimicking the feeling of wind.

[0036] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1The aforementioned modeling component 4 includes a simulated tree. This design not only creates a realistic natural environment but also reduces construction costs and avoids the safety hazards that real trees may pose when they sway.

[0037] Of course, the styling component 4 can also include other lush vegetation styling, requiring dense and abundant branches and leaves in order to better present the effect of image projection, while also providing a more realistic sensory experience.

[0038] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned blowing assembly includes a blower 5. The air volume of the blower 5 can be dynamically adjusted according to the swaying amplitude of the branches and leaves in the image and the sound intensity played by the speaker 3, thereby achieving a more realistic wind effect.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The number of projectors 1 mentioned above is at least one. In order to ensure image quality and coverage, the number of projectors 1 is set to at least one, and it is recommended to place them directly in front of the model assembly 4.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The projector 1 mentioned above is located directly in front of the modeling component 4.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The aforementioned sound module includes speaker 3.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The number of the aforementioned sound sources 3 is at least one.

[0043] It consists of at least one speaker 3, which plays sound effects related to wind to enhance the realism of the sound. The number and placement of the speakers 3 should be considered to achieve the best sound propagation effect.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The number of the aforementioned blowers 5 is at least one.

[0045] In this embodiment, the projector 1 projects the content of the image module 2 onto the branches and leaves of the sculpting component 4, which needs to appear lush and abundant. The image module 2 should simulate the dynamic video of tree branches swaying in the wind, based on the ambient lighting. Simultaneously with the playback of the image module 2, the speaker 3 plays sound effects matching the wind effect, and the blower 5 blows air towards the visitors. During implementation, key factors affecting the device's effect include the swaying rhythm and amplitude of the image module 2, the sound effects of the speaker 3, and the airflow changes of the blower 5. These factors need to be adjusted according to changes in the actual natural environment: for example, when the swaying amplitude of the branches and leaves increases, the sound of the speaker 3 should be amplified, and the airflow of the blower 5 should also be increased; conversely, when these elements are weakened, other aspects should be adjusted accordingly. This reduces construction costs, provides a natural plant swaying effect, and avoids the safety hazards associated with realistic swaying.

[0046] Compared to using real trees or other physical objects to achieve a similar effect, the device of this embodiment significantly reduces costs. By precisely controlling the swaying rhythm and distance of the image, combined with appropriate sound effects and wind adjustment, a very natural visual experience can be created. This avoids the safety issues that may arise from the swaying of real plants, which is especially important in public entertainment venues or interactive experience areas.

[0047] In addition to creating simulated natural environments, the device in this embodiment can also be widely applied in other fields, such as escape room games, where it increases the fun and challenge of the game by creating a specific atmosphere. For example, in amusement park projects, it provides visitors with a richer and more realistic adventure experience. Furthermore, in creating a darkroom atmosphere, it is suitable for haunted houses or special themed exhibitions, enhancing visitors' sense of presence and participation.

[0048] In summary, the device for simulating windy environments provided by this utility model not only achieves efficient and economical creation of realistic natural environment experiences, but also has broad application prospects and market potential.

[0049] The aforementioned device for simulating a windy environment, by setting up a control unit, a projector 1, a sound module, a modeling component 4, and a blowing component, combines multiple interactions of wind, image, and sound to simulate the dynamic effects of natural scenery. The projector 1, sound module, and blowing component are connected to the control unit and can work in coordination to simulate changes in vision, sound, and wind, respectively. By placing the projector 1 in front of the simulated tree, the swaying of plants in the scenery is simulated, enhancing the sense of naturalness. The precise adjustment of the control unit ensures the coordination of each component, avoiding the high cost and failure risk of mechanical devices. This device achieves large-scale dynamic display at a lower cost, while improving safety and overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.

Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
