Description

Golf simulation device {GOLF SIMULATION DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a golf simulation apparatus, and more particularly, to a golf simulation apparatus that facilitates the installation and movement of a golf simulation apparatus and visually displays a full body view of a golfer and an exercise process through a mirror and a display unit .

Golf, which has been rapidly popularized in recent years, has a correct swing posture as well as other sports, which determines an accurate and stable shot, and particularly a swing posture in a swing posture leading to an address, a back swing, a down swing, an impact, a follow draw, Factors such as downswing by lower body, weight shift, stance width, swing shaft stability, shoulder opening and closing, club swing trajectory, etc., have a decisive influence on the stability, accuracy and range of the ball, In order to maintain a stable swing position of the golfer is essential.

However, the golfer's correct swing posture is likely to be disturbed by the condition of the golfer or insufficient practice time, which causes unstable ball hitting such as a miss shot, hook, or slice.

In addition, even if the golfer is familiar with the basic theory of the swing posture, it is easy to grasp the unreasonable posture of the other person, but since the posture of the user can not be seen directly, the cause of the own ball is not easy to grasp, The golfer will lose interest in golf and in this case the golfer must be able to immediately recognize his / her erroneous posture and restore the correct striking posture to prevent the occurrence of erroneous strokes.

Recently, as the golf population has increased, a so-called screen golf system has come to be used in which golf practice using a virtual golf simulator or the like and a virtual golf game can be enjoyed.

In the screen golf system, a screen capable of displaying a virtual golf course is installed in the room. When a golfer hits the golf ball toward the screen, the screen golf system senses the speed and direction of the golf ball, .

As described above, the screen golf system implemented by the virtual golf simulation apparatus has a feature that it can give a sense of presence such as a round in a golf course while hitting the golf ball in the same manner as hitting the golf ball in the golf driving range.

Such a golf simulation apparatus is disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1010281 (titled invention, virtual golf simulation apparatus, filed on Feb. 28, 2010).

FIG. 1 shows an example of a conventional golf simulation apparatus. As shown in FIG. 1, a swing plate 10 provided with a sensing device and a screen 20 installed on the front face are used to output an arbitrary golf course image A display unit 50 for outputting a screen shot by the camera 40; a storage unit 50 for storing all data necessary for the golf simulation; And a main computer 60 in which processing and the like are performed.

However, in the conventional golf simulation apparatus, since the camera 40, the display unit 50, and the main computer 60 are separately installed, the installation of the golf simulation apparatus becomes complicated.

In addition, since the conventional golf simulation apparatus uses the display unit 50 as a general monitor, it is difficult for the golfer to accurately grasp the striking motion of the whole body.

In addition, the conventional golf simulation apparatus has a problem that the main computer 60 is installed in a state exposed to the outside, and is damaged due to an impact caused by a golf ball hit by a golfer or a golf club.
