[0095] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown:

[0096] In one aspect of the present disclosure, a viewing device is provided, comprising:

[0097] Foundation 1; and

[0098] At least two annular track assemblies 2 are respectively fixedly disposed on the foundation 1, and each annular track assembly 2 includes:

[0099] The ring body 21 has a lower end fixedly disposed on the foundation 1 and has a torus structure;

[0100] The track 22 is laid on the outer peripheral surface of the annular ring structure of the annular body 21;

[0101] A plurality of cabins 23 are movably disposed on the track 22 at set intervals; and

[0102] The cabin driving mechanism 24 is configured to drive the plurality of cabins 23 to move around the track 22 at the same speed.

[0103] The annular track assembly 2 composed of the above-mentioned annular body 21, track 22 and multiple cabins 23 forms the core structure for passenger viewing: the annular body 21 with a circular ring structure serves as a supporting structure for the track 22, limiting the direction of the track 22; the track 22 arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the circular ring mechanism of the annular body 21 guides the multiple cabins 23 in a way that does not block the passenger's field of vision; the multiple cabins 23 arranged at equal intervals on the track 22 provide a safe accommodation space for passengers and provide passengers with a good viewing experience.

[0104] Different from the usual Ferris wheel, the present invention does not have a wheel body that can rotate relative to the rotation axis. Based on this, the cabin 23 cannot be driven by the rotatable wheel body to make circular motion. In order to allow passengers to experience the viewing experience brought by different heights, the multiple cabins 23 in the present invention use the cabin driving mechanism 24 as the power source to drive the multiple cabins 23 to run along the track 22 at the same intervals, thereby making the multiple cabins 23 make circular motion around the central axis of the annular body 21 with the outer circumference of the annular body 21 as the running track.

[0105] Furthermore, the present disclosure includes at least two circular track assemblies 2 fixedly arranged on the foundation 1, so that when the at least two circular track assemblies 2 are respectively running, passengers in multiple cabins 23 located in different circular track assemblies 2 can not only view the scenery outside the cabins in the cabins 23, but also can watch each other, wave and interact, thereby enhancing the viewing experience.

[0106] Since the annular track assemblies 2 in the present application are each independently arranged on the foundation 1, and each annular body 21 does not rotate relative to the foundation 1, but the circular motion of the multiple cabins 23 is achieved by the movement of the multiple cabins 23 along the track 22, the multiple annular track assemblies 2 will not interfere with each other.

[0107] Based on this, the annular track assembly 2 in the present application can be provided in multiples based on demand, for example, two annular track assemblies 2 are provided with an angle of 90° between the bottom surfaces of the annular ring structures of the annular body 21, and three annular track assemblies 2 are provided with an angle of 60°. That is, in some embodiments, the bottom surface of the annular ring structure of the annular body 21 is perpendicular to the plane where the foundation 1 is located, and the planes where the bottom surfaces of the annular ring structures of at least two annular bodies 21 are located are at a set angle to each other.

[0108] Among them, the bottom surface of the circular ring structure of the ring body 21 is perpendicular to the plane where the foundation 1 is located, which can improve the structural reliability of the ring body 21 and reduce the complexity of setting the fixed connection structure between the ring body 21 and the foundation 1, thereby improving the safety of the viewing device provided by the present disclosure.

[0109] In order to further improve the structural reliability of the viewing device provided by the present disclosure, in some embodiments, the viewing device further includes:

[0110] At least one reinforcement ring 3 is fixedly connected to at least two annular track components 2 and is in a circular ring structure, and the bottom surface of the circular ring structure of the reinforcement ring 3 is parallel to the plane where the foundation 1 is located.

[0111] The reinforcement ring 3 is fixedly connected to at least two annular track assemblies 2, so that the angle and spacing between the annular track assemblies 2 are fixed, thereby improving the overall structural stability of the viewing device provided by the present disclosure. In addition, the bottom surface of the annular structure of the reinforcement ring 3 is parallel to the plane where the foundation 1 is located, while the bottom surface of the annular structure of the annular body 21 is perpendicular to the plane where the foundation 1 is located, so that the main structure of the viewing device composed of the reinforcement ring 3 and the annular body 21 presents a hollow spherical structure, which brings a new visual experience to passengers.

[0112] In order to more stably fix the hollow spherical structure of the viewing device to the foundation 1, in some embodiments, the viewing device also includes: a plurality of annular supports 4, which are configured in groups of two to support the annular body 21 on the foundation 1 from the two bottom surfaces of the circular ring structure of the annular body 21.

[0113] On the basis that the bottom surface of the circular ring structure of the ring body 21 is perpendicular to the plane where the foundation 1 is located, the ring body support 4 supports the ring body 21 from both sides of the circular ring structure of the ring body 21, which can ensure that the ring body 21 does not tilt to one side or even overturn, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and structures.

[0114] like Figure 1 As shown: In some embodiments, the number of at least two annular track assemblies 2 is two, the set angle is 90°, the number of at least one reinforcement ring 3 is one, and the reinforcement ring 3 passes through the maximum diameter of the annular body 21 of each of the two annular track assemblies 2.

[0115] Since the multiple cabins 23 make circular motions relative to the outer side of the circular track assembly 2, there may be mutual interference between the cabins 23 of different circular track assemblies 2. Therefore, in some embodiments, the two circular track assemblies 2 are fixedly connected to each other, and the diameters of the annular bodies 21 in the two circular track assemblies 2 are the same, and a groove 211 is provided on the outer annular body 21 in the intersecting area of ​​the two circular tracks 22, so that the multiple cabins 23 on the outer peripheral surface of the inner annular body 21 can pass through.

[0116] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, at the top of the viewing device, a groove 211 is opened on the outer ring body 21 through which the cabin 23 on the inner ring body 21 can pass. Similarly, at the bottom of the viewing device, a groove 211 is opened on the outer ring body 21 through which the cabin 23 on the inner ring body 21 can pass, and the two annular track assemblies 2 are fixedly connected to each other outside the groove 211 to ensure the overall structural stability of the viewing device.

[0117] In addition, the diameters of the annular bodies 21 may also be different: in some embodiments, the two annular track assemblies 2 are fixedly connected to each other, and the diameters of the annular bodies 21 in the two annular track assemblies 2 are different, wherein the annular body 21 with a larger diameter is provided with a groove 211 for the passage of multiple cabins 23 on the outer peripheral surface of the annular body 21 with a smaller diameter.

[0118] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to realize the circular motion of the plurality of cabins 23 along the track 22 relative to the outer circumference of the annular body 21, in some embodiments, the cabin driving mechanism 24 further includes:

[0119] The chain 241 is connected end to end to form a circular ring, and is relatively movably disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the circular ring structure of the ring body 21, and is fixedly connected to the cabin 23, so that when the chain 241 moves, the cabin 23 is driven to move along the outer peripheral surface of the ring body 21; and

[0120] The lifting mechanism 242 is fixedly disposed on the annular body 21 and is configured to drive the chain 241 to move along the outer circumferential surface of the annular body 21 .

[0121] Similar to the driving effect of the chain 241 of a bicycle on the rear wheel, the present application achieves the circular motion of the multiple cabins 23 at equal intervals by fixing the multiple cabins 23 to the chain 241 and moving the chain 241 along a fixed track. The function of the lifting mechanism 242 here is to overcome the gravity of the multiple cabins 23 and lift the cabins 23 from the bottom to the top of the ring body 21, and its driving form is to drive the movement of the multiple cabins 23 by driving the chain 241.

[0122] In order to achieve effective guidance and position limiting of the movement process of the multiple cabins 23, in some embodiments, the track 22 includes at least two guide rails 221, and the at least two guide rails 221 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the annular body 21 in parallel with each other relative to the axial direction of the annular body structure of the annular body 21;

[0123] Each cabin 23 includes at least two wheel sets 231 , the number of the at least two wheel sets 231 is the same as the number of the at least two guide rails 221 , and the at least two wheel sets 231 are movably connected to the at least two guide rails 221 .

[0124] like Figures 4 to 8 As shown, each track 22 includes two guide rails 221, and each cabin 23 includes two wheel sets 231, which are respectively connected to the two guide rails 221, so as to limit the position of the cabin 23. For those skilled in the art, when the number of the guide rails 221 and the wheel sets 231 is greater than two, further increasing the number of the guide rails 221 and the corresponding wheel sets 231 can also improve the stability of the cabin 23.

[0125] like Figure 7 , 12 As shown in FIG. 13 , in order to achieve a fixed connection between the chain 241 and the cabin 23, in some embodiments, the annular track assembly 2 further includes:

[0126] A plurality of first link plates 25, one side of which is fixedly embedded in the chain 241 and the other side of which is provided with a hinge point extending outward relative to the chain 241; and

[0127] A plurality of second link plates 26 are fixedly disposed on the cabin 23 and are rotatably connected to the first link plates 25 relative to the hinge point.

[0128] The plurality of first link plates 25 and the plurality of second link plates 26 are hinged to each other, so that the fixed connection relationship between the chain 241 and the cabin 23 can flexibly adjust the angle between the first link plates 25 and the second link plates 26 as the position of the cabin 23 relative to the annular body 21 changes, thereby making the fixed connection relationship between the chain 241 and the cabin 23 more reliable.

[0129] In order to realize the driving of the chain 241 by the lifting mechanism 242, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 242 includes:

[0130] The base 242a is fixedly disposed on the annular body 21;

[0131] The first reduction motor 242b is fixedly disposed on the base 242a;

[0132] A reducer 242c is fixedly disposed on the base 242a, wherein a power input end of the reducer 242c is drivably connected to the first reduction motor 242b via a first coupling, and a power output end is provided with a sprocket shaft 242e rotatable relative to the reducer 242c; and

[0133] The sprocket 242d is fixedly disposed on the sprocket shaft 242e, and the rotation center of the sprocket 242d coincides with the axis of the sprocket shaft 242e;

[0134] The chain 241 is tangentially connected to the sprocket 242d, so that the chain 241 is driven to move when the sprocket 242d rotates.

[0135] In order to ensure the structural stability of the sprocket shaft 242e during the transmission process, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 242 further includes:

[0136] A sprocket sleeve 242f is sleeved on the free end of the sprocket shaft 242e and is located on a side of the sprocket 242d away from the coupling; and

[0137] The sprocket bearing seat 242g is fixedly disposed on the machine base 242a and is rotatably connected to the sprocket sleeve 242f through a bearing.

[0138] like Figure 4 , 9 As shown, in order to achieve a fixed connection of the track 22 relative to the annular body 21 and a rotatable connection of the chain 241 relative to the annular body 21, in some embodiments, the number of the track 22 and the wheel set 231 is two, and the track 22 further includes:

[0139] A plurality of rail supports 222 are evenly fixedly disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the annular body 21 along the circumferential direction, and are respectively fixedly connected to two guide rails 221 on both sides close to the two bottom surfaces of the annular body 21; and

[0140] The connecting support 223 is fixedly disposed on a side of the track support 222 away from the annular body 21 and is located between the two tracks 22 along the axial direction of the annular body 21 to support the chain 241 .

[0141] like Figures 4-5 As shown in FIG. 8 , in order to enable the wheel set 231 and the track 22 to form a limited relative motion relationship, in some embodiments, the wheel set 231 includes:

[0142] The wheel frame 231a is rotatably connected to the cabin 23 along a rotation axis perpendicular to the length direction of the guide rail 221;

[0143] The upper wheel 231b is rotatably connected to the wheel assembly frame 231a and is attached to a side of the guide rail 221 close to the cabin 23;

[0144] The lower wheel 231c is rotatably connected to the wheel assembly frame 231a and is attached to a side of the guide rail 221 away from the cabin 23; and

[0145] The side wheel 231d is rotatably connected to the wheel assembly frame 231a and is attached to a side of the guide rail 221 away from the other guide rail 221, so that the guide rail 221 is embedded between the upper wheel 231b, the lower wheel 231c and the side wheel 231d.

[0146] On the premise that the wheel set 231 is attached to the guide rail 221 from three directions through the upper wheel 231b, the lower wheel 231c and the side wheel 231d, the viewing device provided by the present disclosure further sets two wheel sets 231, so as to limit the guide rail 221 from a fourth direction according to the relative position relationship between the two wheel sets 231, that is, in some embodiments, the number of the upper wheel 231b, the lower wheel 231c and the side wheel 231d is two, and the two upper wheels 231b, the two lower wheels 231c and the two side wheels 231d are all set relative to each other in the length direction of the guide rail 221.

[0147] like Figure 4As shown, since the cabin 23 in the present application performs a circular motion relative to the annular body 21, in order to ensure the power supply of the electrical appliances in the cabin 23, in some embodiments, the viewing device further includes:

[0148] The conductive slot 5 is an annular structure, circumferentially disposed on the outer circumference of the annular body 21, and fixedly disposed on a side of the track support 222 close to the cabin 23; and

[0149] The first current collector 6 is fixedly disposed on one side of the wheel assembly frame 231a close to the wheel assembly 231 and is movably connected to the conductive slot 5 in a conductive manner.

[0150] Electric energy can be conducted between the conductive slot 5 and the first current collector 6 by means of brushes, that is, the first current collector 6 maintains contact and connection with the conductive slot 5 under the premise of mutual movement, thereby conducting electric energy from the fixed annular body 21 to the multiple cabins 23 performing circular motion.

[0151] In order to improve the riding experience of passengers in the cabin 23, the passengers can always ride on the horizontal surface of the ground. Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the cockpit 23 includes:

[0152] The cabin body 232 is a cylindrical structure, the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical structure includes at least one transparent material wall surface, and the cabin body 232 is provided with a platform surface perpendicular to the bottom surface of the cylindrical structure;

[0153] A cabin mounting frame 233 rotatably connected to the wheel assembly frame 231a; and

[0154] The rotary support 234 is an annular structure and includes an inner support structure and an outer support structure that can rotate relative to each other. The inner support structure is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical structure of the cabin 232, and the outer support structure is fixedly connected to the cabin mounting frame 233, so that the cabin 232 can rotate around its own axis relative to the cabin mounting frame 233.

[0155] Based on the relatively rotatable inner and outer support structures of the slewing support 234 , the platform surface serves as a passenger carrying surface and can always remain on a horizontal plane under the action of the gravity of the passengers, thereby achieving gravity self-balancing of each cabin 23 .

[0156] Since each cabin 23 adopts the structural form of a slewing support 234, the outer shell of the cabin 23 and the inner platform surface of the cabin 23 also have a relative rotational movement tendency. In order to conduct electrical energy from the outside of the cabin 23 to the inside of the cabin 23, in some embodiments, the viewing device further includes:

[0157] The power transmitter 7 is fixedly mounted on a side of the cabin mounting frame 233 close to the cabin 23 and is conductively connected to the first current collector 6; and

[0158] The second current collector 8 is annular in structure, circumferentially disposed on the outer circumference of the cylindrical structure of the cabin 232 , and is movably conductively connected to the power transmitter 7 for supplying power to the interior of the cabin 232 .

[0159] In order to facilitate passengers to rest in the cabin 23, in some embodiments, the cabin body 232 includes:

[0160] A hatch 232a is provided on a bottom surface of the cylindrical structure of the cabin body 232 and can be opened and closed by a lock of the hatch 232a; and

[0161] The seat 232b is fixedly disposed on the platform surface of the cabin 232 and is symmetrically disposed relative to the center position of the platform surface.

[0162] like Figures 6-7 As shown, in some embodiments, the viewing device further includes:

[0163] The cabin connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected between any two adjacent cabins 23 .

[0164] Through the connecting function of the cabin connecting rod 9, the multiple cabins 23 are connected to each other, and the distance between two adjacent cabins 23 is kept constant.

[0165] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the cockpit drive mechanism 24 includes:

[0166] The pin gear ring 241a is connected end to end to form a circular ring and is fixedly arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the circular ring structure of the ring body 21;

[0167] A second reduction motor 242h is fixedly mounted on the cabin 23; and

[0168] The pin gear 242i is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the second reduction motor 242h;

[0169] The pin gear 242i is tangentially arranged on the pin gear ring 241a, so that the cabin 23 is driven to move when the pin gear 242i rotates.

[0170] By arranging the second reduction motor 242h in the cabin 23, each cabin 23 can be driven to move relative to the pin gear ring 241a through the meshing relationship between the pin gear 242i driven to rotate by the second reduction motor 242h and the pin gear ring 241a. This arrangement avoids arranging a slidable chain on the outer circumference of the annular body structure of the ring body 21, and each cabin is driven by its own second reduction motor 242h, which reduces the difficulty of setting the cabin drive mechanism 24 and improves the stability and reliability of the system.

[0171] like Fig.11 As shown, similarly, in some embodiments, the cockpit drive mechanism 24 includes:

[0172] The friction belt 241b is connected end to end to form a circular ring, and is fixedly arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the circular ring structure of the ring body 21;

[0173] The third reduction motor 2421 is fixedly arranged on the cabin 23;

[0174] The friction wheel 242k is fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the third reduction motor 2421;

[0175] The friction wheel 242k is tangentially arranged on the friction belt 241b, so that the cabin 23 is driven to move when the friction wheel 242k rotates.

[0176] Power is transmitted by means of friction between the friction belt 241b and the friction wheel 242k. Compared with the meshing relationship between the pin gear ring 241a and the pin gear 242i, the manufacturing cost is lower and the noise during the operation of the cabin drive mechanism 24 is also lower.

[0177] In another aspect of the present disclosure, an amusement facility is provided, comprising a viewing device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0178] Therefore, the disclosed embodiment is composed of three annular structures intersecting each other in space, and the outer shape is a hollow spherical shape, and the running track 22 is installed on two vertically intersecting annular bodies 21. When the viewing device is running, passengers can not only view the scenery outside the cabin in the cabin 23, but passengers on different tracks 22 can also watch each other in the cabin 23, wave and interact, which increases the viewing experience and brings a new visual experience to the passengers.
