Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a device in which a light source that blinks continuously and continuously appears as far as a laser beam is emitted.

(Prior Art) The applicant of the present invention has provided, in Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 2-107055, an imaging apparatus in which one linear light source can be continuously viewed as far as a laser beam is emitted.

In the above technology, one linear light source is reflected infinitely between mirrors, the reflected image is superimposed on the muzzle of a simulated ray gun using a half mirror, and a laser beam is emitted from the muzzle and reaches a distance. It looks like.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) According to the above invention, the light source cannot be sequentially turned on and off from the near side, but can be applied only to a laser beam that reaches instantaneously.

Because the virtual image of the light source is infinitely reflected between the mirrors, the directions of the virtual image reflected even and odd times are opposite, so the light source is subdivided and used by blinking sequentially from the front. And the virtual image of even reflection flickered from a distance to the near side, and the laser beam emitted from the muzzle could not be continuously flashed from the near side to the far side.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described inconvenience, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a simulated light gun apparatus that causes a laser beam image from a muzzle to blink sequentially from the near side so as to reach a distant place.

(Means for Solving the Problems) An object of the present invention is to provide a target viewing window for an operator to aim at a target and light incident parallel to a convex lens, a convex Fresnel lens, a concave mirror, or the like at one point. Even if a collecting light collecting means, a reflection mirror or the like is interposed, a plurality of light sources provided within the optical focal length of the light collecting means and a pseudo bullet locus display means such as a CRT, and the pseudo bullet locus displaying means, A shooting means such as a firing trigger operated by an operator for displaying a pseudo bullet image directed to an optical focus, and an enlarged virtual image of the pseudo bullet image by the pseudo bullet track display means reflected by the condensing means; and An optical synthesizing means such as a half mirror or glass that optically synthesizes the view window so that the reflected enlarged virtual image is emitted toward a target aimed at by the operator, Simulated bullet trail video display It is achieved by.

Further, the object of the present invention is to provide a quasi-bullet trajectory image display unit, which displays a pseudo-bullet image from outside the focal length of the light condensing unit toward the focal length position so that the enlarged virtual images are displayed at equal distance intervals. Can be achieved by using a simulated gun using a simulated bullet trajectory image device for sequentially displaying.

(Operation) According to the above configuration, the flash image sequentially blinked from the near side on the light emitting surface is enlarged as a magnified flash virtual image by the condensing means,
The enlarged virtual image is synthesized with an enlarged flash virtual image on a distant scene by an optical synthesizing means such as a half mirror or the like, so that the flash appears to be emitted from the muzzle of the simulated gun.

(Examples) The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings for examples.

FIG. 1 shows an external view of a pseudo laser beam gun of the present invention. The pseudo laser beam gun 1 has a grip 3 of an operating rod 2 on the near side, and is tiltably movable back and forth and left and right by a support portion 4 at the bottom to aim. By pressing the firing trigger 3a, a firing sound can be emitted from a muzzle 5 and a speaker (not shown) simultaneously with the laser beam 6.

The shooter fires the laser beam 6 by pressing the firing trigger 3a with the muzzle 5 aligned through the half mirror 7 which also serves as a windshield and aiming.

At the bottom of the pseudo laser beam gun 1, there is a supporting portion 4 of the same light gun. The supporting portion 4 is supported by a horizontal shaft 4a above the supporting portion 4 so that the pseudo laser beam gun 1 can be swung back and forth and right and left. The lower side has a structure rotatably supported by a vertical shaft 4b. Although not shown, the horizontal shaft 4a and the vertical shaft
4b is configured to rotate the rotation axis of the volume via a gear, and can electrically detect the angle of deflection of the pseudo laser beam gun.

The pseudo laser beam gun 1 has a structure in which a half mirror 7 imitating a windshield is mounted obliquely downward on the front side of the muzzle 5, and a rectangular convex Fresnel lens 8 is mounted horizontally below the half mirror 7. On the lower side, a reflecting mirror 9 is attached to the middle bottom surface 10 of the pseudo laser beam gun 1 so that the mirror surface of the reflecting mirror 9 is substantially parallel to the half mirror 7 and the mirror surface is directed obliquely forward.

The half mirror 7 described here is, for example, one obtained by vacuum-depositing chromium on a glass surface or an acrylic plate. The half mirror 7 has a function of reflecting incident light on a mirror surface and a function of transmitting light as it is. If it is good, a transparent glass or a transparent acrylic plate itself is sufficient as a very simple one.

Further, the convex Fresnel lens 8 may be a convex lens, or even without using the convex Fresnel lens 8 or the convex lens.
It is obvious that the same effect can be obtained even when the reflecting mirror 9 is a concave mirror.

The middle bottom surface 10 just below the front of the muzzle 5 is a translucent resin-based light emission tapered along the extension of the laser beam 6 emitted from the muzzle 5 into a long isosceles triangular trapezoid with the base at the front. A surface 11 is provided.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an optical system of the pseudo laser beam gun 1 shown in FIG. 1, and is composed of a half mirror 7, a convex Fresnel lens 8, a reflection mirror 9, a middle bottom surface 10, and a light emitting surface 11. I have.

The light emitting surface 11 is orange or red, and is subdivided below the light emitting surface 11 by a wall group 12 parallel to the reflection mirror 9.
The group of wall surfaces is denser as the distance from the reflection mirror 9 increases, and a light source 13 such as an LED lamp or a fluorescent lamp is provided toward the light emitting surface 11 in each space separated by the group of wall surfaces 12. The light source 13 includes a wall group 12 surrounding the light source 13.
In order to make the illuminance on the upper light emitting surface uniform, a plurality of light sources 13 are used at a position near the half mirror 9 having a large irradiation area.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing the relationship between the real image and the virtual image of the light emitting surface of the pseudo laser beam gun. When viewed from the viewpoint 14 of the observer in front of the half mirror 7, the light emitting surface of the middle bottom surface 10 is shown.
The image 11 is reflected by the reflection mirror 9 and reflected by the half mirror 7 via the convex Fresnel lens 8, and the virtual image appears to be enlarged in front of the half mirror 7.

FIG. 4 is a simplified principle diagram of the optical system of the pseudo laser beam gun. For simplicity, the half mirror 7 and the reflecting mirror 9 are omitted for the purpose of changing the direction of the light beam, and are omitted, and the convex Fresnel lens 8, the light emitting surface 11, The relationship between the viewpoint 14 of the observer and the virtual image B of the slit is shown.

When the light emitting surface 11 of the transparent resin plate is aligned with a line connecting the focal point F1 of the convex Fresnel lens 8 and one point P of the peripheral portion of the convex Fresnel lens 8, the enlarged virtual image B of the light emitting surface 11 becomes the convex Fresnel lens. It appears parallel to the optical axis OQ of the lens 8.

To explain these relationships by drawing, let L be the extension of the line connecting the center O of the lens and the line connecting the real image A and the point where the real image A intersects the parallel lens surface with the optical axis OQ.
A virtual image B is formed at a point where the extension of the line connecting F2 and L intersects OA.

When plotting is performed in this manner, the virtual image B of the wall surface group 12 is formed at a position parallel to the optical axis OQ and equidistant. Similarly, both widths of the light emitting surface 11 are tapered so that they converge on the focal point F1, so that the enlarged virtual image B becomes a line having the same width.

The width of the wall surface group 12 of the light emitting surface 11 is arranged such that the virtual images B of the drawing are equidistant from each other, and is located on the near side of the light emitting surface 11.
A1 is such that the position B1 on the near side of the virtual image is located at the tip of the muzzle 5 of the pseudo laser beam gun.

When the firing trigger 3a of the grip 3 of the pseudo laser beam gun 1 is pressed, the sound is sequentially flashed by the sequential lighting circuit (not shown) from the light source 13 partitioned by the wall group 12 located on the front side of the convex Fresnel lens together with the firing sound. The light appears to be emitted from the muzzle 5. Based on the above principle, the operation in FIG. 3 will be described. When viewed from the viewpoint 14 of the observer in front of the half mirror 7, the light is reflected by the half mirror 7. The incoming light passes through the convex Fresnel lens 8 and the light from the light emitting surface 11 via the reflection mirror 9 to be viewed in an enlarged manner. Here, the reflection mirror 9 is provided at an angle such that the light emitting surface 11 is located on a line connecting the focal point of the convex Fresnel lens and the lens side surface.

In the half mirror 7, the virtual image B of the light emitting surface 11 passing through the convex Fresnel lens 8 is combined with the light transmitted through the half mirror 7, and the virtual image B of the front end of the light emitting surface 11 is formed into the muzzle 5
The mirror group is incorporated in the pseudo laser beam gun 1 shown in FIG. 1 so that the laser beam can be emitted forward from the muzzle from the tip of the gun. It is the same as the eye 14, and the shooter can see the enlarged virtual image B of the light emitting surface 11 as the laser beam 6 emitted from the muzzle 5.

Further, since the virtual image B of the light is made to have the same width, it looks thinner as it goes ahead, and the light from the muzzle 5 falls into a sensation of being emitted far away.

In the above description, the virtual image B of the light emitting surface 11 is linear, but
A zigzag arrangement may be used, in which case the laser beam is emitted in a zigzag manner.

Further, if the light emitting surface 11 is provided as an image display surface such as a liquid crystal monitor or a CRT, the shape of the laser beam 6 can be changed arbitrarily. Yes, and projecting the trajectory of a bullet will make it appear as if the bullet is flying, expanding its application range.

Here, if an image display device is used for the middle bottom surface 10, for example, the direction of the gun can be detected on the computer side when the laser beam 6 is fired. If displayed together, it is possible to make the flash of the laser beam 6 feel as if it were raised above the ground.

Similarly, it is also possible to arrange a light source and an image display device on the side surface and the upper surface of the reflection mirror 9 to output images of innumerable stars, thereby producing an image effect.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the target 17 is projected by the projection projector 16 on the screen 15 arranged in front, the shooter points the muzzle 5 of the pseudo laser beam gun 1 toward the target 17, and the firing trigger 3a of the grip 3 is set. Push, open a circuit in the sequential lighting circuit of the light source, which is a known technology not shown, power is supplied to the light source 13 from the same circuit, and the light source 13 sequentially emits light at the moment of pressing the firing trigger 3a, illuminating the light emitting surface 11 .

As a result, the shooter watching the image projected on the screen 15 via the half mirror 7 is provided with the firing trigger 3a.
It appears that the laser beam 6 is being emitted from the pseudo laser beam gun 1 toward the target 17 at the moment when is pressed.

The position of the image projected on the screen 15 and the direction of the pseudo laser beam gun 1 are grasped by a computer.

The computer controls the movement of the target 17 in the image. The movement of the target 17 is stored in the memory of the computer, and the direction of the pseudo laser beam gun 1 is determined by the horizontal axis 4a of the support 4 and the vertical axis. 4b is electrically detected by a volume for detecting the movement, the direction of the muzzle 5 and the position of the target 17 are checked in real time in the computer, and when the firing trigger 3a is pressed and the laser beam 6 reaches the target, the muzzle 5 is detected. When the orientation of the target 17 and the position of the target 17 match, an action image 18 such as exploding the image of the target 17 is projected, an explosion sound is emitted from the speaker 19, and a predetermined score is calculated in the computer and the screen 15 is calculated. The score is displayed on the score display unit 20 using a CRT or the like on the inside or the pseudo laser beam gun 1 side.

As shown in the cross-sectional view of the commercial vertical video game machine according to another embodiment of FIG. 6, when the arrangement structure of the light gun is provided in the upper cylinder 21 like a submarine periscope, the inverted T A rotation shaft 23 is provided in the inside of the cylinder 21 on the side of the peeping side below the cylinder 21 and a gear is fitted to the rotation shaft 23, and a pseudo-laser image device 22 having a V-shape is attached to the outside of the cylinder 21. By rotating a handle 24 provided laterally on the side surface, a gear fitted on the handle shaft is rotated through a gear train (not shown) to rotate the gear of the rotation shaft 23 to tilt the pseudo laser imaging device 22 back and forth. When the handle 24 is swung right and left, the cylinder 21 rotates.

In the pseudo laser beam imaging device 22, a half mirror 25 is obliquely attached to the base of the inverted T-shape, and the reflected light is reflected by a reflection mirror 26 disposed inside the vertical video game machine, and a television monitor 27 is viewed. .

Further, a convex Fresnel lens 28 is provided at an upper position of the half mirror 25, and an LED lamp group 29 is arranged so as to be gradually denser from the front side of the convex Fresnel lens toward the focal point of the corresponding Fresnel lens. ing.

When the LED lamp group 29 is sequentially blinked and illuminated from the convex Fresnel lens 28 side by pressing a firing trigger (not shown), the light is enlarged by the convex Fresnel lens, and it looks as if a laser beam is emitted. Of course,
The LED lamp group 29 may use a small TV monitor.

FIG. 7 shows a side view of a bazooka laser gun toy as another embodiment. A half mirror 31 is mounted in the scope 30 on the upper side of the barrel with the front mirror facing downward, and the lower mirror 31 is now reflected forward and upward. A mirror 32 is provided, a convex lens 33 is provided in front of the reflection mirror 32, and a light-emitting body 34 capable of blinking independently is provided in front of the convex lens 33.

Due to the structure of this scope 30, when the shooter pulls the firing trigger 35 while looking into the scope 30, the luminous body 34 flashes and flashes from the near side inside the gun, and the flash is guided to the half mirror 31 in the scope of the gun. The laser beam appears to be emitted from the gun on the scene reflected and viewed through the scope 31.
