Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the complexity of a game by generating the numberless complicated motion of a car without deciding the progressive direction of a car only by the will of one driver by operating the driving means of two wheels by two drivers independently with operating means, respectively, and performing the forward rotation, the backward rotation, and the stoppage of respective wheel independently. CONSTITUTION:Since the forward rotation, the backward rotation, and the stoppage of four wheels 6 by the operation of an operating lever 12 can be performed independently, 16 combinations of them can be formed, and the four wheels 6 are rotated rightward or leftward centering respective wheel based on the combination in rotational directions. Plural rollers are provided at the outer periphery of the wheel 6 rotatably freely, and the wheel 6 can be moved in every arbitrary direction on the ground, and neither scratch of the ground nor slippage on the ground occurs. Since the two drivers perform the rotational control of the two wheels independently by operating two operating levers 12, respectively, no progressive direction of the car 1 is decided only by the will of one driver 11, which generates the complicated motion.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to recreational vehicles and tanks used in amusement parks, and particularly relates to a two-seater amusement vehicle driven by two drivers. .

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, vehicles used for entertainment at amusement parks include go-karts and coffee bowls.

The former is a miniaturized and easily maneuverable version of a regular car, and the main part of the game is the fun of directional control, speed racing, etc. in which a person drives the car. The latter is not very interesting to maneuver, but it does make it more interesting by causing complex planetary movements and relative movements.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The problem with conventional game cars as described above is that the game content is simple and lacks surprises, and that players quickly get bored of the game after being absorbed in the game for a certain period of time.

This invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and the object is to provide a one-person amusement vehicle that has a wide range of play contents, has unexpected running directions, and allows for safe and fun long-term play. shall be.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a means for independently rotating four wheels disposed in pairs on opposite sides of a vehicle body, and a means for driving two wheels by two drivers. A two-seater amusement vehicle is constructed by providing operating means for independently operating the driving means of two wheels among the four wheels.

Further, a plurality of rollers are rotatably mounted on the outer peripheries of the four wheels via support shafts that are provided at an angle with respect to the axles of the four wheels.

In addition, the car body has a driver's seat that can be rotated freely.
The driver's seat is rotated by a rotating means in the traveling direction of the vehicle body calculated by the vehicle body stage by detecting the combination of rotations of the individual wheels.

Further, a safety frame is provided around the outer periphery of the vehicle body, and when contact of the safety frame with an obstacle is detected, rotation of the wheels is stopped by a stopping means.

[Function] According to the above configuration, two drivers independently operate the drive means of the two wheels using the operating means, and the forward rotation, reverse rotation, and stop of each wheel are mutually independent. By doing this, the car body makes countless complex movements. Shiriki 1 is also interesting as a game because the direction of travel is not determined by the will of one of the two drivers.

In addition, by providing multiple rollers around the outer circumference of the wheel that freely rotate around a support shaft that is tilted with respect to the axle, it is possible to move freely on the ground in any direction. This prevents slipping or scratching the ground.

4- In addition, by detecting the combination of rotations of the four wheels, the calculation means calculates the direction of travel of the vehicle, and the driver's seat is made to face in the direction of travel based on the calculation result, so the driver is always aware of the direction of travel. It is possible to drive with the vehicle facing towards the road.

Furthermore, when the safety frame provided around the outer periphery of the vehicle body comes into contact with an obstacle, the rotation of the wheels is stopped, so that the impact force when the vehicle body collides with the obstacle can be alleviated.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 6.

In FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, a car body 1 includes a box-shaped bogie 2 provided at the bottom, a circular bogie 3 fixed on the bogie 2, and a car body 1 that is rotatable concentrically on the bogie 3. It consists of a frame 4 attached to. Wheel drive units 5 each consisting of a pair of hydraulic motors are provided on both sides of the trolley 2, and each of the four wheels @ drive unit 5 is directly connected to a car @6, and the four wheels are driven by the wheel drive unit 5. The wheels 6 are each independently driven by three motors for forward rotation, reverse rotation, and stop.

A rotation mechanism 7 for rotationally driving the frame 4 is provided under the central portion of the hokey 3, and the frame 4 is rotated by the rotation mechanism 7 at a speed of, for example, about 10 revolutions per minute. Furthermore, two driver's seats 8 are fixed on the frame 4, and a driver's cab 9 is provided in front of the driver's seat 8 on the frame 4, and a hydraulic pressure generator 10 that drives a hydraulic motor is provided in the rear. It is being

Two operation levers 12 of the operation mechanism are provided in the driver's cab 9 at positions where the hands of the driver 11 seated on each of the two driver seats 8 can reach. Hydraulic motors for the four wheel drive units 5! !
The rotation of the four wheels 6 is controlled independently.

Then, for example, if you tilt the operating lever 12 forward, the car @
6 rotates forward, and vice versa when tilted backwards.

It stops in the neutral position.

In the driver's cab 9, there is provided a calculation means (not shown) that detects the combination of rotational directions of the four wheels 6 and determines the traveling direction of the vehicle body 1. So that the direction and the direction of the driver's seat 8 match,
The frame 4 is rotated by a hydraulic motor (not shown).

Further, on the outer periphery of the frame 4, there is provided an arc-shaped safety frame 13 that is divided into a plurality of pieces (four pieces in FIG. 1), each of which is connected to the outer periphery of the frame 4 via a spring 14. There is. When at least one of these safety frames 13 comes into contact with, for example, an obstacle, a sensor (not shown) detects this and stops the wheel drive unit 5.

FIG. 4 shows the configuration of the wheel 6 according to this embodiment.

On the outer periphery of the wheel 6 formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, a plurality of support shafts j-5 are provided at equal intervals, each inclined at an angle of, for example, 45 degrees with respect to the axial direction of the wheel 6. are supported by arms 16 fixed to wheels 6, respectively. The support shafts 15 each have a support shaft 15.

Further, the rollers 17 of the pair of wheels 6 coaxially attached to the truck 2 are symmetrically inclined with respect to the center line of the truck 2.

FIG. 5 is a hydraulic system diagram according to this embodiment. The wheel drive unit 5 to which the four wheels 6 are respectively connected includes a hydraulic motor 18 capable of forward and reverse rotation, and a four-way switching solenoid valve 19 that switches the hydraulic motor 18 between forward rotation, reverse rotation, and stop.

Similarly, the rotation mechanism 7 for rotating the frame 4 also includes a hydraulic motor 18 and a four-way switching solenoid valve 19. The input sides of these five four-way switching solenoid valves 19 are connected in series through a pipe 20, one end of the pipe 20 is connected to the hydraulic pressure generator 1o, and the other end is connected to a metering valve 21.

FIG. 6 is an electrical circuit diagram according to this embodiment. When the operating lever 12 is in positions a, b, and c, the four-way switching solenoid valve 19 of the wheel drive unit 5 opens and closes the hydraulic motor 18 to rotate forward, reverse, and stop, respectively.

Further, a signal outputted from the calculation means 22 which detects the combination of the rotational directions of the wheels 6 and determines the traveling direction of the vehicle body 1- is inputted to the rotation mechanism 7, which rotates the frame 1% 4 by a predetermined angle and rotates the frame 1% 4 by a predetermined angle. 8 in the direction of movement of the vehicle body 1.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

When the control lever 12 is pushed forward, the car @6 rotates in the forward direction, when pushed in the opposite direction, it rotates in the reverse direction, and when it is in the neutral position, it stops. 4
The forward rotation, reverse rotation, and stop of each vehicle @ 6 can be performed independently, so there are 16 combinations. An example of the relationship between the combinations and the traveling direction of the vehicle body 1 is shown in the table below.

Hereinafter, the four cars @6 can each rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around each wheel depending on the combination of rotation directions. At this time, since a plurality of rollers 17 are rotatably provided on the outer circumference of the wheels 6, the car @ 6 can move freely on the ground in any direction, and the wheels do not slip on the ground. , it doesn't scratch the ground.

The operation lever 12 is operated by two drivers 11.
Since each control lever 12 is operated independently and the rotation control of the two wheels is shared, the direction of movement of the vehicle body 1 cannot be determined solely by the will of the human driver 11, resulting in extremely complicated movements. It can be enjoyed as a game.

When the traveling direction of the vehicle body 1 changes from forward to another direction as described above, the rotating direction of each wheel 6 is detected, and the calculating means 22 calculates the traveling direction of the vehicle body 1 based on the combination thereof. When this traveling direction signal is input to the rotating mechanism 7, the frame 4 is rotated by a predetermined angle, and the driver's seat 8 is directed in the traveling direction of the vehicle body 1. Thereafter, the vehicle body will move forward, but before the vehicle moves forward, an operating circuit may be provided to perform a tail swinging motion suitable for play.

Further, when the safety frame 13 of the vehicle body 1 comes into contact with an obstacle, the rotation of the wheels 6 immediately stops, so that the impact of the collision can be alleviated.

According to this embodiment, the direction of travel of the vehicle body 1 cannot be determined solely by the intention of one of the two drivers 11, and when the vehicle body 1 wants to travel in a certain direction, the operations of the two drivers must be performed in a certain combination. This not only increases the complexity of the game, but also makes it more enjoyable. Therefore, everyone from the young to the elderly can enjoy the sensation of driving a car and the sensation of dancing at the same time, and it is also full of surprises, which can be expected to keep the interest of the driver 11 permanent.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the operating lever 12 is used to switch the wheels 6 between forward, reverse, and stop. , the rotational speed of the wheels 6 may be switched between two high and low speeds.

11- If this is done, the number of combinations of rotations of the wheels 6 will be 5 to the fourth power, that is, 625, further increasing the complexity of running.

In addition, if only one driver 11 is riding in the two-seater amusement car, 4
It is also possible to operate two operation levers 12.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention described above, the four wheels provided on the play vehicle can be operated by two drivers each, so that the vehicle body cannot be controlled by the will of the two drivers alone. The direction of travel is not determined, and the player can enjoy running in multiple directions, increasing the complexity of the game and allowing the player to enjoy the game without getting bored.
