Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of entertainment simulation horse racing technology, specifically a horse rump control system for simulating horse racing. Background Technology

[0002] Gaming or training equipment, as the name suggests, is used for playing games or training, typically referring specifically to equipment for playing video games or training. Currently available horseback riding game devices control the horse's movement on the game screen via multiple buttons mounted on its back. This control scheme is abstract, with numerous buttons, making operation complex, prone to confusion and errors, and resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, it can only be used as a gaming device, offering limited functionality. Therefore, this device was designed using a whip and rein-like control handles to control the horse's movements in conjunction with the on-screen actions. It is simple and practical to operate, serving both as a gaming device and as training equipment in equestrian clubs. This avoids the safety issues caused by beginners being unable to control a real horse during training, while providing a highly realistic riding experience. Users can also invite friends to participate in online competitions, experiencing the exhilarating thrill of a real race. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a horse-riding control system to simulate horse racing, addressing the problems mentioned in the background. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a game device or training device that uses a prop horsewhip to strike pressure-sensitive switches installed on the left and right sides of the prop horse's rump. The data signal generated by the up-and-down and left-and-right swing of the horse's head control armrest is processed by the game function control circuit board and transmitted to the PC host for calculation, thereby controlling the movement of the horse prop device with a dynamic mechanical structure and simultaneously displaying the horse's sound, movement, and posture on the LCD screen. This solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A simulated horse racing horse rump control system includes a whip prop, a first pressure-sensitive switch, a second pressure-sensitive switch, connecting wires, a horse prop device, a jump switch, an acceleration switch, a left turn switch, and a right turn switch. The first and second pressure-sensitive switches are fixed on the left and right sides of the horse rump of the horse prop device. The jump switch is fixed on the horse head control armrest of the horse prop device. The acceleration switch, left turn switch, and right turn switch are fixed inside the horse head at the end of the horse head control armrest of the horse prop device. All switches are connected to the game function control board through connecting wires. By whipping the first and second pressure-sensitive switches and by swinging the horse head control armrest to activate the jump switch, acceleration switch, left turn switch, and right turn switch, the corresponding control signals are transmitted to the game function control board for processing through connecting wires.

[0005] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the game function control board is connected to the PC host via an RS232 serial communication cable, and the PC host and the game function control board are fixed inside the lower housing of the LCD screen mounting bracket.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model: the top of the LCD screen mounting bracket is fixed with an LCD screen, which is connected to a PC host via an HDMI signal cable.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: an adjustable speed hair dryer is fixed on the top of the LCD screen. The adjustable speed hair dryer is positioned directly in front of the player's face and is connected to the game function control board via a fan electronic connection cable. The adjustable speed hair dryer can adjust the wind speed according to the running speed of the horse in the game to simulate the headwind when riding a horse in real life.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: a staircase is provided on one side of the horse prop device, and a coin acceptor and a lottery machine are installed on the staircase. The coin acceptor is connected to the game function control board via an electronic connection cable. The coin acceptor is used to receive game fees, and the lottery machine is used to issue reward lottery tickets when the game is completed.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a first pressure sensor switch and a second pressure sensor switch are provided on the left and right sides of the rump of the horse prop device. The pressure sensor is connected to the connecting line. When the whip prop strikes the first pressure sensor switch and the second pressure sensor switch, the pressure sensor detects the striking force and transmits the force signal to the game function control board through the connecting line. The game function control board controls the degree of horse reaction in the LCD screen according to the force signal.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the surface of the horse head control armrest of the horse prop device is provided with anti-slip texture, and a heart rate monitoring sensor is installed on the inner side of the armrest. The heart rate monitoring sensor is connected to the game function control board through a connecting cable to monitor the player's heart rate in real time and transmit the data to the PC host. The PC host can adjust the game difficulty or provide health tips based on the player's heart rate data.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: stereo speakers are provided on both sides of the LCD screen. The stereo speakers are connected to the PC host via audio cables and can play corresponding stereo sound effects according to the horse's movements and scenes on the LCD screen, thereby enhancing the immersive experience of the game.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the horse prop device includes a horse shell, a metal base, a jumping mechanism shaft, a jumping crankshaft eccentric cam, a jumping action connecting rod, a jumping action connecting rod shaft, a jumping action transmission belt, a jumping motor, a running motor, a running action transmission belt, a running crankshaft eccentric cam, a running action rear connecting rod, a running action front connecting rod, a running action front swing arm connecting rod, a fixed support frame for the horse shell, and a jumping mechanism movable platform. The jumping mechanism shaft is fixed to the upper platform of the metal base and serves as a hinged support point at the top. When the jumping motor fixed to the jumping mechanism movable platform rotates, the jumping action transmission belt drives the jumping crankshaft eccentric cam, which is also fixed to the jumping mechanism movable platform, to rotate eccentrically. This, in conjunction with the jumping action connecting rod, causes the jumping mechanism movable platform, supported by the metal base, to rotate around the jumping mechanism shaft as its axis. The entire jumping mechanism's movable platform and the front of the horse shell's fixed support frame are raised by the rotation and lifting. The running motor and the running crankshaft eccentric cam are fixed on the jumping mechanism's movable platform. When the running motor rotates, it drives the running crankshaft eccentric cam to rotate through the running action transmission belt. After the running action, the connecting rod moves up and down and back and forth, causing the rear of the horse shell's fixed support frame to move up and down and back and forth synchronously. The running action front connecting rod fixed to the front of the horse shell's fixed support frame, under the swing connection of the running action front swing arm connecting rod, allows the front of the horse shell's fixed support frame to only move back and forth. The running motor and jumping motor inside the horse prop device are connected to the game function control board by electronic circuitry. Through the combined action of the above components, the horse shell fixed on the horse shell's fixed support frame can realize the continuous actions of a real horse, such as running and jumping.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: Using a whip and control handles instead of game joysticks or buttons, you can manipulate the mechanically dynamic horse props, synchronized with a high-definition large-screen LCD display to perform corresponding actions. This not only breaks away from the limitations and complexities of simply using it as a game device, but also realistically reflects the "master level" of advanced equestrian riders who can make their horses "understand" the various commands of the whip and complete various corresponding actions. You can also invite multiple friends to connect online for PK competitions. It combines experience and entertainment, is highly fun, and greatly reduces the cost and safety risks of experiencing the game.

[0014] This utility model utilizes a prop horsewhip to strike pressure-sensitive switches installed on both sides of the prop horse's rump. The data signals generated by these switches, triggered by the up-and-down and left-and-right swinging of the horse's head control armrests, are processed by the game control circuit board and transmitted to a PC for calculation and conversion. The PC then controls the motion mechanism of the prop horse, simulating the running, acceleration, turning, and leaping movements of a real horse under the rider's command. Simultaneously, the corresponding actions and postures of the horse are displayed on an LCD screen, along with sound effects. An adjustable-speed hair dryer on the LCD screen blows air onto the player's face according to the amplitude of the prop horse's movements controlled by the PC, further enhancing the realism of the simulation. This utility model avoids the uncontrollable factors associated with real horses, minimizing the risk of injury to players, while still providing the enjoyment of realistic horseback riding. It also reduces the cost of visiting a real horse farm and allows for multiplayer online PvP competitions, integrating experience and entertainment for a highly engaging experience.

[0021] The horse prop device 17 with a dynamic mechanical structure is placed in front of the LCD screen 8 and the LCD screen fixing frame bracket 7, with the horse's head facing the LCD screen 8. The horse prop device 17 consists of a fiberglass horse shell 171, a hardware base 172, a jumping mechanism shaft 173, a jumping crankshaft eccentric cam 174, a jumping action connecting rod 175, a jumping action connecting rod shaft 176, a jumping action transmission belt 177, a jumping motor 178, a running motor 179, a running action transmission belt 180, a running crankshaft eccentric cam 181, a running action rear connecting rod 182, a running action front connecting rod 183, a running action front swing arm connecting rod 184, a horse shell fixing support frame 185, and a jumping mechanism movable platform 186. The jumping mechanism shaft 173 is fixed to the top of the upper platform of the hardware base 172 as a hinge support point. When the jumping motor 178 fixed on the jumping mechanism movable platform 186 rotates, the jumping action transmission belt 177 drives the jumping crankshaft eccentric cam 174, which is also fixed on the jumping mechanism movable platform 186, to rotate eccentrically. The linkage jumping action connecting rod 175, under the support of the hardware base 172, causes the jumping mechanism movable platform 186 to rotate and lift around the jumping mechanism shaft 173 as the axis.
