Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to amusement equipment, in particular to a sitting cabin and a flying cinema provided with the sitting cabin. Background Art

[0002] Movies are a form of entertainment that the general public likes to watch. Watching movies in a cinema has good viewing, sound and visual effects and has always been widely loved by the public. In particular, with the maturity of 3D movie technology, the popularity of 3D movies has greatly increased. Watching 3D movies in a cinema also greatly enhances the sense of presence, which makes watching 3D movies a popular choice for the public's entertainment. However, current 3D movies are still limited to vision and hearing. As for 4D movies that better simulate and experience movie scenes through other senses, their application is still immature. There are only a few limited actions such as simple water spraying, spraying, and leg sweeping. There are great defects in the audience's experience of flying, driving and other aspects in the movie scenes. Moreover, in current 4D movies, the audience in the back row is far away from the screen, so the sense of presence will be greatly discounted, and the viewing experience is not good.

[0003] The flying theater is a large suspended dome theater that combines dynamic seats and film and television images to give the audience an immersive feeling. In traditional flying theaters, tourists sit in seats to watch movies, and the mechanism connected to the seats drives tourists to do simple swings. During the viewing process, the pitch angle of tourists is very small, and the "flying" experience is poor. In addition, the existing seats limit the human body through the pressure rod. When swinging and rotating at a large angle, the human torso will press on the pressure rod, greatly reducing the viewing comfort of the personnel. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0025] Depend on Figure 1Combination Figure 2-7 As shown, a sitting cockpit and a flying theater provided with the sitting cockpit include a frame 1 and a spherical screen 10 arranged obliquely upward, the frame 1 is provided with a horizontal walking mechanism 2 for driving the sitting cockpit 5 to move horizontally, the horizontal walking mechanism 2 is provided with a lifting mechanism 3 for driving the sitting cockpit 5 to move vertically, the lifting mechanism 3 is provided with a first rotating mechanism 41 for driving the sitting cockpit 5 to swing and a second rotating mechanism 42 for driving the sitting cockpit 5 to rotate, the second rotating mechanism 42 is provided with a mounting shaft 43, the mounting shaft 43 is provided with a plurality of the sitting cockpits 5, and the mounting shaft 43 near the second rotating mechanism 42 is provided with a cockpit baffle 44. The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the horizontal walking mechanism, the lifting mechanism, and the rotating mechanism are provided so that the cockpit can extend out of the frame and rotate, and the movie can be watched from a bird's-eye view angle, which fits the effect of "flying" and brings a more exciting feeling. When the audience watches the movie, the immersive viewing experience can be enhanced, and the audience can be given a new flying experience with a good viewing effect. The sitting cockpit has a good viewing experience, and has higher safety performance and reliable interlocking. The invention also has the advantages of simple structure, convenient assembly, reliable action, long service life, etc.

[0026] The horizontal walking mechanism drives the sitting cabin and other parts located below it to push tourists from the boarding position to the viewing position. After arriving at the performance area, the lifting mechanism drives tourists to move up and down with a certain acceleration to simulate the feeling of weightlessness. The first rotating mechanism rotates and drives tourists to rotate and swing, simulating yaw movement. During the playback process, the second rotating mechanism rotates the cabin to a certain angle and performs a rotational movement, so that tourists can watch the movie with their faces facing down, simulating the posture of flying.

[0027] The lifting mechanism is driven by two electric cylinders, the upper end of which is connected to the horizontal walking mechanism, and the lower end is connected to the lifting steel pipe. The lifting steel pipe drives the first rotating mechanism to perform lifting movement. The first rotating mechanism is connected to the second rotating mechanism to drive it to rotate. Each sitting cabin is connected to the installation shaft. Specifically, the installation shaft is a square tube, and the rotating square tube is driven to rotate by the second rotating mechanism. Specifically, the first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism both include a rotating shaft and a slewing bearing, and the sitting cabin is driven to rotate or swing through the slewing bearing.

[0028] In the process of flipping the sitting cabin, in order to prevent tourists' arms from hitting the mechanical structure, a cabin baffle is provided between the left and right sides of the second rotating mechanism and the sitting cabin. While ensuring that tourists can watch the movie, the range of tourists' activities is limited to prevent tourists' arms from hitting the mechanical structure.

[0029] The seated cockpit 5 includes a seat frame 6, on which a pressure rod 7 and an interlocking device 8 are provided. The pressure rod 7 has a first position in which it cooperates with the seat frame 6 to form an accommodating space 71 and a second position in which it is opened to facilitate boarding and disembarking of passengers. The interlocking device 8 has a first state in which the pressure rod 7 is interlocked to prevent the pressure rod 7 from malfunctioning when the pressure rod 7 is in the first position, and a second state in which the pressure rod 7 is unlocked to facilitate free movement of the pressure rod 7. Such a structure makes the seated cockpit fixed and reliably limited, and allows viewing movies from a bird's-eye view, which fits the effect of "flying" and brings a more exciting feeling. When the audience watches the movie, the immersive viewing experience can be enhanced, and the audience can be given a brand new flying experience with a good viewing effect. The seated cockpit has a good viewing experience, higher safety performance, and reliable interlocking.

[0030] The pressure rod 7 is hinged on the seat frame 6 and rotates relative to the seat frame 6. A pressure bearing member 72 is provided on the pressure rod 7. When the pressure rod 7 is in the first position, the pressure bearing member 72 is arranged between the pressure rod 7 and the seat frame 6. Specifically, one end of the pressure bearing member 72 is fixedly connected to the pressure rod 7, and the other end is hinged on the seat frame 6 and rotates relative to the seat frame 6. An elastic space 73 is provided between the pressure bearing member 72 and the pressure rod 7. More specifically, the pressure bearing member is a restraint belt, mainly a chest restraint belt, which provides a flexible or soft restraint on the chest and torso. The distance between the end of the pressure bearing member 72 close to the seat frame 6 and the pressure rod 7 is greater than the distance between the end of the pressure bearing member 72 far from the seat frame 6 and the pressure rod 7. The pressure bearing member 72 is integrally formed with a soft material. Hard material refers to a material product that cannot be changed and has no flexibility. Soft material refers to a material with a certain softness or / and elasticity relative to hard material. Such as rubber products or leather products, the pressure-bearing part is made of soft materials. Its main function is to completely hold the torso, especially the chest, of the tourist when the seated cabin is flipped over and the tourist faces downward, so as to prevent the tourist from directly contacting the pressure rod when flipping over, thus ensuring comfort. The upper end of the pressure-bearing part rotates around the seat frame, and the lower end is connected to the pressure rod. There is an elastic space between the pressure-bearing part and the pressure rod to further increase the buffering force, making tourists more comfortable when watching movies.

[0031] The interlocking device 8 includes a first driving member 81, a ratchet 82 and a pawl 83 for limiting the ratchet 82. The ratchet 82 is linked to the pressure rod 7. The pawl 83 has a first position in which the pressure rod 7 is interlocked with the ratchet 82 to prevent the pressure rod 7 from malfunctioning when the pressure rod 7 is in the first position, and a second position in which the pressure rod 7 is unlocked by the first driving member 81 to facilitate the free movement of the pressure rod 7. The present invention realizes the interlocking of the pressure rod through the ratchet and the pawl, and the interlocking is reliable. In addition, the present invention is provided with a plurality of pawls, each of which is driven by an unlocking member, so that the pawls are easy to open. The provision of a plurality of pawls enables the pressure rod to adapt to tourists of different body shapes, and a plurality of pawls can achieve the effect of multi-layer interlocking. Even if a pawl fails to open, the other pawls can still play a limiting role, so that the product interlocking is reliable and has high safety.

[0032] The seat frame 6 is provided with an unlocking member 84, and the first driving member 81 is connected to the unlocking member 84 through a crank 85. The unlocking member 84 is provided with a driving groove 841 for driving the ratchet 83 to rotate. Specifically, the ratchet 83 includes a hinged portion 831, a limiting portion 832 that cooperates with the ratchet 82 to limit the position of the ratchet 82, and a driving portion 833 inserted into the driving groove 841. The unlocking member 84 drives the ratchet 83 to rotate around the hinged portion 831 through the inner wall of the driving groove 841, and there are multiple ratchet 83. When the pressure rod is interlocked and working, the ratchet and the ratchet are meshed, and the ratchet is tightly attached to the ratchet through a spring to prevent the ratchet from rotating. When it is necessary to open, the first driving member drives the unlocking member to rotate through the crank, and finally the ratchet is opened and the pressure rod is unlocked. The ratchet is provided with multiple ratchets. The setting of multiple ratchets ensures that tourists can lock the pressure rod under different body shapes, and the safety performance is higher.

[0033] The seat frame 6 is provided with a leg restraint plate 9, and the leg restraint plate 9 has a first position in which it is interlocked and limited by the interlocking device 8 during play, and a second position in which it is opened to facilitate boarding and alighting of passengers. Specifically, the interlocking device 8 includes a hydraulic lock 86 and a connecting rod mechanism 87, and the hydraulic lock 86 is connected to the leg restraint plate 9 and the connecting rod mechanism 87 through a driving rod 88, and the connecting rod mechanism 87 is linked to the pressure rod 7. After the tourist enters the sitting cabin, the pressure rod is closed, and the ratchet pawl is engaged and locked to form a first safety interlocking pressure rod; at the same time, the pressure rod drives the leg restraint plate to close through the connecting rod mechanism, and at this time, the hydraulic lock locks the connecting rod mechanism through the driving rod, interlocking the leg restraint plate while also interlocking the pressure rod, forming a second safety interlocking pressure rod. The terms "first" and "second" are only used for description and distinction, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Specifically, the leg restraint plate includes a leg restraint movable plate and a leg restraint fixed plate. When the pressure rod is actuated, the leg restraint movable plate and the leg restraint fixed plate are driven to form a space, so that the legs of the tourists are restrained in the cabin space, that is, the leg restraint plate is in the first position. When the leg restraint movable plate is opened relative to the leg restraint fixed plate (the leg restraint movable plate is driven by the driving rod and / or the connecting rod mechanism), it is in the second position opened to facilitate boarding and disembarking of passengers. A hydraulic lock is provided at the bottom of the sitting cabin, which is connected to the driving rod and the connecting rod mechanism. When the pressure rod is closed, the connecting rod mechanism is driven to lock the hydraulic lock at the same time, and the stroke pressure rod forms a second safety in addition to the ratchet pawl. That is, the present invention can interlock the pressure rod mechanically by the ratchet pawl, and can also interlock the pressure rod by the hydraulic lock driving the limit pressure rod through the connecting rod mechanism, so that the present invention has a dual interlocking safety of mechanical interlocking and hydraulic interlocking, and has higher safety performance.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0036] Technical personnel should note that although the present invention has been described according to the above specific implementation methods, the inventive concept of the present invention is not limited to this invention, and any modification using the inventive concept will be included in the scope of protection of this patent.
