Description

Bike Simulator and How to Use Bike Simulator

[0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle simulator for virtual driving, and more specifically, to a bicycle simulator that allows a rider to virtually experience various driving routes in an indoor space and allows riders in different spaces to virtually experience a bicycle riding experience in the same cyberspace.

[0002] Bicycle exercise equipment, commonly called bicycle trainers or bicycle rollers, is one of the most widely used indoor exercise machines, along with treadmills. It involves a rider riding a bicycle mounted on a rotating roller or stand, pedaling to rotate a wheel that is subject to rotational resistance (magnetic force, etc.), thereby strengthening lower body muscles. Conventional bicycle exercise equipment has the disadvantage of requiring the rider to pedal alone in a closed indoor space, making it difficult to experience cycling with other riders.

[0003] Recent technological advancements have enabled augmented reality services to be offered to riders by providing visual information about virtual objects via displays. This allows riders to experience the same driving experience as riding with other riders in an outdoor environment, even within an enclosed indoor space. By implementing driving conditions identical to those found in outdoor environments, this system can provide riders with a novel, outdoor-like experience.

[0004] As a rider rides a bicycle, their center of gravity may tilt clockwise or counterclockwise. The degree of tilt may vary depending on the rider's type, such as whether they are elderly, young, or a professional cyclist.

[0005] An object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a bicycle simulator that implements a state in which a rider's center of gravity tilts while riding a bicycle.

[0006] Additionally, it provides a bicycle simulator that detects the angle at which the rider's center of gravity is tilted.

[0007] Additionally, a bicycle simulator is provided that displays riders who have deviated from the center position on a display device according to the angle at which the center of gravity of the detected rider is tilted, and guides the rider to move to the center position.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a bicycle simulator is provided, including a base part, a front wheel roller provided on the base part and supporting a front wheel of a bicycle, a rear wheel roller provided on the base part and supporting a rear wheel of a bicycle, a first frame support part supported by the base part and at least a portion of which is provided to be rotatable about one axis, a second frame support part connected to the first frame support part and to which a bicycle frame is connected, and a rotation assembly provided between the first frame support part and the second frame support part, the second frame support part being provided to be rotatable in the left-right direction of the base part.

[0009] Additionally, a bicycle simulator is provided in which the center of the second frame support is aligned with the center of the first frame support.

[0010] In addition, the second frame support includes a first-first fixing member extending in one direction and a first-second fixing member arranged to face the first-first fixing member, and the first-first fixing member and the first-second fixing member provide a bicycle simulator that supports the first tube support and the second tube support.

[0011] In addition, the rotating assembly includes a first support member fixedly supported by the first frame support member and a second support member fixedly supported by the second frame support member; and the second frame support member provides a bicycle simulator that rotates according to the rotation of the second support member.

[0012] In addition, a bicycle simulator is provided in which the first support and the second support are arranged to face each other, a first coupling hole is provided on an upper portion of the first support, a second coupling hole is provided on a lower portion of the second support, and the first coupling hole and the second coupling hole are arranged to overlap each other.

[0013] In addition, a bicycle simulator is provided that further includes a rotation limiter that is detachably provided on the first support and limits the rotation range of the second frame support.

[0014] In addition, a bicycle simulator is provided that further includes an elastic member that is arranged between the first support and the second support to provide elasticity and support when the center of gravity of the rider is tilted.

[0015] In addition, a bicycle simulator is provided that further includes an elastic member arranged between the rotation limiter and the first connecting hole to provide elasticity to support when the center of gravity of the rider is tilted.

[0016] In addition, the rotation limiting member provides a bicycle simulator that limits the rotation angle of the second frame support member by making contact with the rotation limiting member when the second frame support member is rotated by a certain angle or more.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a state in which the center of gravity of a rider is tilted while riding a bicycle can be implemented.

[0018] Additionally, it can detect the riding position according to the rider and the angle at which the rider's center of gravity is tilted.

[0019] Additionally, by indicating on the display device that a rider has deviated from the center position according to the angle at which the center of the detected rider is tilted, it is possible to guide the rider to move toward the center position.

Fig. 2 is a front view of a frame support according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a frame support according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] A bicycle simulator (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention allows a rider riding a bicycle (2) supported on the bicycle simulator (1) to virtually experience a state identical to an actual riding environment, thereby enabling a rider to enjoy realistic riding regardless of the outdoor riding environment.

[0041] The bicycle (2) mentioned above is a concept that encompasses all bicycles (2) currently being sold by various manufacturers, as well as being specially manufactured only for the bicycle simulator (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention. Such a bicycle (2) may include a bicycle frame (15) forming the body of the bicycle (2), a front wheel (12) and a rear wheel (13) rotatably mounted on the bicycle frame (15), and a drive system (crank, chain, transmission, etc.) that converts the rider's pedaling into rotational power of the rear wheel (13).

[0042] A bicycle simulator (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a base portion (10), a frame support portion (40), a front wheel roller (81), and a rear wheel roller (82) to implement the functions or actions described above.

[0043] Below, each of the above-described components will be described in detail.

[0044] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a base (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention is a support member that is fixed to the ground and can support a bicycle (2). As an example, the base (10) may be provided in a square frame shape on which a front wheel roller (81) and a rear wheel roller (82), which will be described later, can be mounted. However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and any support member on which the front wheel roller (81) and the rear wheel roller (82) can be mounted may be provided. In addition, a frame support member (30) is connected to the base (10) according to one example, so that the bicycle (2) can be supported by the base (10).

[0045] The front wheel roller (81) is placed on the base (10) and supports the front wheel (12) of the bicycle (2). The rear wheel roller (82) is placed on the base (10) and supports the rear wheel (13) of the bicycle (2).

[0046] The frame support (40) is a support member that is detachably coupled to the bicycle frame (15) to stably fix the position of the bicycle (2), and may include a first frame support (410), a second frame support (420), a first tube support (430), a second tube support (440), and a rotation assembly (450).

[0047] According to one embodiment, the first frame support (410) is a support member supported by the base (10). As an example, the first frame support (410) may include a first support bar (411) and a second support bar (412) that is coupled to the first support bar (411) so as to be rotatable about one axis. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first support bar (411) and the second support bar (412) may be formed integrally. That is, the first frame support (410) may be provided in the form of a single bar. There is no limitation on the shape of the cross-section of the first frame support (410). That is, at least a portion of the first frame support (410) may be provided so as to be rotatable about one axis and may be supported by the base (10).

[0048] The second frame support (420) can be connected to the first frame support (410). That is, the second frame support (420) can be stably supported by the first frame support (410) and the base (10). The center of the first frame support (410) and the center of the second frame support (420) can coincide. Therefore, when the second frame support (420) is rotated on the YZ-axis plane, whether it is rotated in one direction of the Y-axis or in the other direction, the same feeling can be provided to the rider, thereby delivering a more realistic experience. In other words, the second frame support (420) can be connected to the bicycle frame of the bicycle (2), and can be rotated in the left-right direction (width direction) of the base (10) by being connected to the first frame support (410).

[0049] The second frame support (420) is a support member that supports the first tube support (430) and the second tube support (440). The first tube support (430) may be a portion into which the lower portion of the bicycle frame is inserted, and the second tube support (440) may be a portion into which the upper portion of the bicycle frame is inserted. Of course, depending on the type of bicycle (2), the bicycle may be mounted on only one of the first tube support (430) and the second tube support (440).

[0050] As an example, the second frame support (420) may include a first-first fixing member (421) extending in one direction and a first-second fixing member (422) arranged to face the first-first fixing member (421).

[0051] The first-first fixing member (421) may be a flat member extending along the first direction (Z) from which the first frame support member (410) extends to support one side of the first tube support member (430) and the second tube support member (440). As an example, the first-first fixing member (421) may include a rigid member, for example, a reinforced plastic or metal material, for supporting the first tube support member (430) and the second tube support member (440).

[0052] The first-second fixing member (422) may be a flat member arranged to face the first-first fixing member (421) to support the other surfaces of the first tube support (430) and the second tube support (440). As an example, the first-second fixing member (422) may extend along the same first direction (Z) as the first-first fixing member (421). As an example, the first-second fixing member (422) may also include a rigid member, for example, a reinforced plastic or metal material, for supporting the first tube support (430) and the second tube support (440).

[0053] The first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422) can form a hollow region. The first tube support member (430) and the second tube support member (440) can be arranged in the hollow region. In particular, the first tube support member (430) and the second tube support member (440) can be positioned at the center of the longitudinal direction (y-axis direction) of the hollow region formed by the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422). Accordingly, when the third frame support member (420) is rotated in the y-axis (+) or (-) direction, stability can be provided to the user. According to one example, a hinge member (425) is arranged at one end of the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422), so that the first-second fixing member (422) can rotate with respect to the first-first fixing member (421). As an example, when the upper frame (15-1) and the lower frame (15-2) of the bicycle frame (15) are placed between the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422), the first-second fixing member (422) can be opened by rotating clockwise around an axis (Y) with respect to the first-first fixing member (421). Accordingly, the user can place the upper frame (15-1) and the lower frame (15-2) between the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422). When the arrangement of the upper frame (15-1) and the lower frame (15-2) between the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422) is completed, the user can lock the first-second fixing member (422) by rotating it counterclockwise about an axis (Y) so that the other ends of the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422) come into contact with each other. At this time, the other ends of the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422) can be mutually fastened using the fastening portions arranged at the other ends of the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422).Accordingly, the relative positions of the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422) can be fixed, and the upper frame (15-1) and the lower frame (15-2) can be supported between the first-first fixing member (421) and the first-second fixing member (422).

[0054] The first tube support (430) is a support member that supports the lower frame (15-2) of the mounted bicycle. As an example, the first tube support (430) may include a slide guide (433) that guides the movement path of the support case (431) that supports the lower frame (15-2) and a rotation coupling (not shown) that rotates the slide guide (433) relative to the second frame support (420).

[0055] The second tube support (440) is a support member that supports the upper frame (15-1) of the mounted bicycle. As an example, the second tube support (440) may include a slide guide (443) that guides the movement path of the support case (441) that supports the upper frame (15-1) and a rotation coupling (not shown) that rotates the slide guide (443) relative to the second frame support (420).

[0056] Specifically, a slide guide part (433, 443) may be provided on the inner surface of the first-first fixing member (421) so that the first tube support part (430) can be raised or lowered in the height direction (Z-axis) of the ground. In addition, a slide guide part (433, 443) may be provided on the inner surface of the first-first fixing member (421) so that the second tube support part (440) can be raised or lowered in the height direction (Z-axis) of the ground. The slide guide part (433) can raise or lower the first tube support part (430) in the Z-axis direction, and the first tube support part (430) can be rotated in the XZ-axis clockwise or counterclockwise through a rotation coupling part. The slide guide part (443) can raise or lower the second tube support part (440) in the z-axis direction, and the second tube support part (440) can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise in the XZ-axis through the rotation coupling part. The slide guide parts (433, 443) can be provided so as to be raised or lowered along the inner surface of the second frame support part (420). Specifically, a recess part (421a, 422a) into which the slide guide part (433, 443) can be inserted can be provided on the inner surface of the second frame support part (420). The slide guide parts (433, 443) can be slidably coupled to the recess part (421a, 422a). In this way, the first tube support (430) and the second tube support (440) are raised or lowered, and the slide guide (433, 443) is raised or lowered at the same time, so that a more realistic feeling can be conveyed to the user.

[0057] The rotating assembly (450) can rotate the second frame support (420) relative to the first frame support (410) about the rotation axis (451). Matters related to rotating the second frame support (420) relative to the first frame support (410) using the rotating assembly (450) according to an example will be described later with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8.

[0058] The front wheel roller (81) is a cylindrical component that supports the front wheel (12) of a bicycle (2) mounted on a bicycle simulator (1) and rotates together with the rotation of the front wheel (12). Both ends can be rotatably connected to the base (70) so that it can freely rotate forward or backward with respect to the mounted bicycle (2).

[0059] The rear wheel roller (82) is a cylindrical component that supports the rear wheel (13) of a bicycle (2) mounted on a bicycle simulator (1) and rotates together with the rotation of the rear wheel (13). Both ends can be connected to the base (70) so that they can rotate freely forward or backward with respect to the mounted bicycle (2).

[0060] Fig. 4 is a partially enlarged view of a frame support part, which is an enlarged view of the M area illustrated in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a partially enlarged view of a frame support part according to another example. Fig. 6 is a partially enlarged view of a frame support part, which is an enlarged view of the M area illustrated in Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is a front view of a frame support part according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8 is a partially enlarged view of a frame support part, which is an enlarged view of the M area illustrated in Fig. 2.

[0061] Referring to FIG. 4, a rotation assembly (450) according to an example is provided between a first frame support (410) and a second frame support (420). The rotation assembly (450) may be provided so that the second frame support (420) can rotate in the left-right direction (width direction) of the base (10).

[0062] The rotating assembly (450) may include supports (452, 453). It may include a first support (452) supported by a first frame support (410) and a second support (453) supported by a second frame support (420). According to an example, the first support (452) may be arranged to be fixed to the upper end of the first frame support (410). At this time, a first coupling hole (4520) into which a rotation shaft (451) may be inserted and coupled may be arranged at the upper end of the first support (452). In addition, the second support (453) may be arranged to be fixed to the lower end of the second frame support (420). At this time, a second coupling hole (4530) into which a rotation shaft (451) may be inserted and coupled may be arranged at the lower end of the second support (453).

[0063] According to an example, the first support (452) and the second support (453) may be arranged to face each other. At this time, the first coupling hole (4520) and the second coupling hole (4530) may be arranged to overlap each other. Accordingly, the rotation shaft (451) is arranged to be inserted into the first coupling hole (4520) and the second coupling hole (4530), so that the second frame support (420) arranged to be supported by the second support (453) can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to the first frame support (410) about the rotation shaft (451).

[0064] Here, the rotation axis (451) may be provided as a separate member from the first support (452) and the second support (453), or may simply mean the axis itself around which the second frame support (420) rotates. In the latter case, the first coupling hole (4520) and the second coupling hole (4530) may be provided in the form of hollow holes of different diameters, so that the second coupling hole (4530) may be provided in a form that rotates with respect to the first coupling hole (4520).

[0065] In this way, the second frame support (420) can be rotated around the rotation axis (451) according to the rotation of the second support (453).

[0066] According to an example, a rotation limiter (500) may extend along one direction (Z direction) and be disposed at both ends of a first support (452). Specifically, the rotation limiter (500) may be detachably provided on both sides of the rotation assembly (450). As an example, the rotation limiter (500) may include a rigid member, for example, a reinforced plastic or metal material. Accordingly, the second support (453) may be supported by the rotation limiter (500) so that the rotation angle of the second frame support (420) around the rotation axis (451) may be limited so that it does not exceed a predetermined critical angle range.

[0067] As an example, the rotation limiting member (500) may include a first rotation limiting member (510) disposed at one end of the first support (452) and a second rotation limiting member (520) disposed at the other end of the first support (452). The first rotation limiting member (510) and the second rotation limiting member (520) may extend along one direction (Z direction) with a first length (L1) as illustrated in FIG. 5. At this time, the first rotation limiting member (510) and the second rotation limiting member (520) may be disposed to be spaced apart from the second support (453) with a predetermined gap (W) therebetween. In other words, the rotation limiting members (500) may be provided on both sides of the first support (452) and may extend in the height direction with respect to the ground so as to be spaced apart from the second support (453) by a predetermined distance. As the first rotation limiter (510) and the second rotation limiter (520) are positioned to be spaced apart from the second support (453) by a predetermined first gap (W1), a rotational range of motion in which the second frame support (420) can rotate around the rotation axis (451) can be secured.

[0068] According to an example, the rotation limiter (500) may be detachably arranged on the first support (452). As an example, the first rotation limiter (510) and the second rotation limiter (520) disposed on one end and the other end of the first support (452) may be detachably arranged on the first support (452). Accordingly, the first rotation limiter (510) and the second rotation limiter (520) extending at different lengths along one direction (Z direction) may be coupled to the first support (452). For example, the first rotation limiter (510) and the second rotation limiter (520) may extend at a second length (L2) along one direction (Z direction) as illustrated in FIG. 6. When the second length (L2) is smaller than the first length (L1), the first rotation limiter (510) and the second rotation limiter (520) may have a second gap (W2) greater than the first gap (W1) illustrated in FIG. 5 with respect to the second support (453). Accordingly, the rotational range of the second frame support (420) that can rotate around the rotation axis (451) may be expanded.

[0069] According to one example, the rotational range of motion can be adjusted by replacing the first rotation limiter (510) and the second rotation limiter (520) depending on the type of rider. For example, if the rider is elderly, the first rotation limiter (510) and the second rotation limiter (520) having a relatively long length (L) along one direction (Z direction) can be arranged to reduce the rotational range of motion. In addition, for example, if the rider is a professional rider, the first rotation limiter (510) and the second rotation limiter (520) having a relatively short length (L) along one direction (Z direction) can be arranged to expand the rotational range of motion.

[0070] According to an example, an elastic member (600) may extend along one direction (Z direction) and be disposed between the rotation restriction member (500) and the rotation shaft (451). Specifically, the elastic member (600) may be disposed between the rotation restriction member (500) and the first coupling hole (4520). As an example, the elastic member (600) may include an elastic material having a predetermined elastic force. The elastic member (600) may extend along one direction (Z direction) so as to be in contact with the second support member (453). Therefore, when the center of gravity of the rider is tilted, the second frame support member (420) may be supported within a predetermined elastic force range as the elastic member (600) is deformed.

[0071] As an example, the elastic member (600) may include a first elastic member (610) disposed between a first rotation restriction member (510) and a first coupling hole (4520) (or a rotation axis (451), or a second coupling hole (4530), hereinafter the same) and a second elastic member (620) disposed between a second rotation restriction member (520) and the first coupling hole (4520). The first elastic member (610) and the second elastic member (620) may extend to a predetermined length along one direction (Z direction). At this time, the first elastic member (610) and the second elastic member (620) may be disposed so as to be in contact with the second support (453). As the first elastic member (610) and the second elastic member (620) are arranged between the first support (452) and the second support (453), the first elastic member (610) and the second elastic member (620) can support the second frame support (420) within a predetermined elastic force range within a range in which the second frame support (420) rotates around the rotation axis (451).

[0072] For example, when a rider rides a bicycle (2) and the rider's center of gravity tilts, the second frame support (420) can rotate with respect to the first frame support (410) about the rotation axis (451). For example, when the second frame support (420) rotates clockwise at a first angle (θ1) with respect to the first frame support (410) about the rotation axis (451) as illustrated in FIG. 6, the second elastic member (620) is deformed so that the second frame support (420) can be supported by the elastic force of the second elastic member (620).

[0073] When a rider rides a bicycle (2) and the rider's center of gravity tilts, the rider can correct the center by adjusting the steering angle of the handle (11) provided on the bicycle (2) and rotating the front wheel (12) and the rear wheel (13). When the rider corrects the center, the second frame support (420) can return to the original position of FIG. 5 by rotating counterclockwise with respect to the first frame support (410) around the rotation axis (451). However, when the rider fails to correct the center and a force greater than the elastic force of the second elastic member (620) is applied to the second elastic member (620), the second frame support (420) rotates clockwise with respect to the first frame support (410) around the rotation axis (451) at a critical angle (θ). lim ) can rotate further. At this time, the second support (453) is supported by the second rotation limiting member (520) so that the rotation of the second frame support member (420) can be limited. Accordingly, the rider can be prevented from falling from the bicycle (2).

[0074] Fig. 9 is a block diagram of a bicycle simulator according to an example. Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a display unit according to an example. Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a display unit according to an example.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 9, a bicycle simulator (1) according to an example may include a sensor unit (130), an input unit (150), a memory (160), a communication module (170), a processor (180), and a display unit (190). According to an example, the sensor unit (130) may detect a rotation range in which the second frame support unit (420) rotates relative to the first frame support unit (410) around a rotation axis (451). For example, the sensor unit (130) may be a gyro sensor, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0076] When the rotation of the second frame support (420) with respect to the first frame support (410) is detected by the sensor unit (130), the processor (180) can move the position of the rider's avatar (191) on the display unit (190) away from the center line (192) as shown in FIG. 11. After the rider confirms the position of the rider's avatar (191) displayed on the display unit (190), the rider can adjust the steering angle of the handle (11) provided on the bicycle (2) and rotate the front wheel (12) and the rear wheel (13), thereby correcting the rider's center. Accordingly, when the rotation of the second frame support (420) in the opposite direction to the first frame support (410) is detected by the sensor unit (130), the processor (180) can move the position of the rider's avatar (191) on the display unit (190) so that the position of the rider's avatar (191) is aligned with the center line (192) as shown in FIG. 10.

[0077] However, if the rider fails to correct the center and a force greater than the elastic force of the second elastic member (620) is applied to the second elastic member (620), the second frame support member (420) rotates clockwise at a critical angle (θ) with respect to the first frame support member (410) around the rotation axis (451). lim) can rotate further. At this time, the processor (180) can generate a warning display on the display unit (190) to ensure the safety of the rider. Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated above, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, such modifications or variations should not be understood individually from the technical idea or viewpoint of the present invention, and the modified embodiments should fall within the claims of the present invention.
