Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of water surface performances, and in particular to a night-swimming swan and a centralized control performance system thereof. Background Art

[0002] Performing water shows in scenic areas can increase the number of tourists. Water shows include both live-action and animal-based performances, but not all scenic areas are suitable for these performances. Therefore, some have proposed using fake animals, such as fake swans. Existing fake swans used for performances can float on the water, and some are powered and can be moved and steered remotely. This results in a single performance format and cannot be used for centralized control performances, which does not meet the expectations of tourists. There is an urgent need to provide a fake swan that can perform in a centralized manner (not limited to use in scenic area waters) to enrich the fun of nighttime viewing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To this end, the present invention provides a night-swimming swan and a centralized control performance system thereof to solve one or more of the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] The first aspect of the present invention provides a night-swimming swan, comprising a fake swan body, a propeller (which may be equipped with a servo) arranged under the fake swan body, and a positioning module, a body posture sensing module, a wireless communication module and a control main board placed in the fake swan body; the fake swan body can float on the water and is provided with a light-emitting device; the positioning module is used to sense the position information of the fake swan body and send it to the wireless communication module; the body posture sensing module is used to sense the body posture information of the fake swan body and send it to the wireless communication module; the wireless communication module is used to send the position information and body posture information, receive centralized control performance instructions and pass them to the control main board; the control main board is used to control the working status of the propeller and the light-emitting device.

[0006] By setting up a propeller, swimming mobility can be ensured; by setting up a positioning module and a body posture sensing module, position information and body posture information can be obtained, providing relevant information for the centralized control performance, which is conducive to controlling the position and body posture during the later centralized control performance; by setting up a wireless communication module, wireless communication can be carried out; by setting up a control mainboard, the light-emitting device can be controlled to emit light, change color, flash, etc., and the speed of the propeller and the overall steering can be controlled.

[0007] Furthermore, the fake swan body includes a body portion and a counterweight portion, and the counterweight portion is arranged at the bottom of the body portion.

[0008] By providing a counterweight, the fake swan body can be ensured to float stably on the water.

[0009] Furthermore, the fake swan body also includes a head and neck and a rotation drive unit (a servo can be used), the head and neck are rotatably connected to the body through the rotation drive unit, and the control main board is also used to control the working state of the rotation drive unit.

[0010] By dividing the fake swan body into a body and a head and neck, and connecting the two with a rotating drive part, the head of the night-swimming swan can be rotated (referring to the change in the position of the head relative to the body, not the change in the swimming direction), increasing the performance form.

[0011] Furthermore, the night-swimming swan also includes a head posture sensing module arranged on the head and neck, and the head posture sensing module is used to sense the head posture information of the head and neck and send it to the wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module is also used to send the head posture information.

[0012] By setting up a head posture sensor module, head posture information can be obtained, which is helpful for controlling the head direction during the later centralized control performance.

[0013] Furthermore, the night-swimming swan also includes a power supply module arranged in the fake swan body, and the power supply module is electrically connected to the propeller, positioning module, body posture sensing module, head posture sensing module, wireless communication module, control main board, and light-emitting device; generally, the power supply module is electrically connected to the control main board, and the control main board is electrically connected to the propeller, positioning module, body posture sensing module, head posture sensing module, wireless communication module, and light-emitting device to provide power to each part.

[0014] By setting up a power supply module, power can be provided to the thruster, positioning module, body posture sensor module, head posture sensor module, wireless communication module, and control mainboard.

[0015] Furthermore, there are two propellers, which are arranged horizontally side by side, and the control main board controls the two propellers separately.

[0016] The differential steering of the fake swan body is achieved by the different speeds of the two propellers.

[0017] Furthermore, the positioning module is a differential positioning RTK module; a differential positioning RTK base station is generally set up on the edge of the performance water area.

[0018] Through RTK technology, position information can be obtained more accurately, ensuring the uniformity and orderliness of centralized control performances.

[0019] A second aspect of the present invention provides a centralized control performance system for night-swimming swans, comprising a host computer and a plurality of night-swimming swans as described in the first aspect of the present invention;

[0020] A plurality of the night-swimming swans constitute a performance cluster;

[0021] The host computer is used to: set the initialization information and performance information of the performance cluster; receive the position information and body posture information of each night-swimming swan; compare with the initialization information, and send position and body posture adjustment instructions to the night-swimming swans that are inconsistent with the initialization information, so that the night-swimming swans adjust their positions and body postures to make their position information and body posture information consistent with the initialization information; the performance information includes the swimming path and body orientation, and a centralized control performance instruction is formed based on the performance information and sent to each night-swimming swan. The centralized control performance instruction includes a propeller speed adjustment instruction, and under the control of the control mainboard, the body orientation, propulsion speed, and propulsion direction of each night-swimming swan are controlled.

[0022] Performance information is not limited to the swimming path (body orientation can also be included in the swimming path), but can also include ambient lighting settings, working status settings of light-emitting devices (color, flashing, etc.), live music settings, and cluster formation settings.

[0023] Under the control of the host computer and with the assistance of the control mainboard of each night swan, each night swan is initialized according to the initialization information, such as arranging according to the initial formation, and then performing a cluster performance according to the performance information, such as touring and swimming in coordination with lights or music, changing formations, turning, changing color and flashing of light-emitting devices, etc.

[0024] Furthermore, the host computer is also used to: receive the head posture information of each night-swimming swan, compare it with the initialization information, and send a head posture adjustment instruction to the night-swimming swan that is inconsistent with the initialization information, so that the night-swimming swan adjusts the head and neck posture so that its head posture information is consistent with the initialization information; the performance information includes the head orientation, and the centralized control performance instruction includes the head orientation adjustment instruction, and under the control of the control main board, the head orientation of each night-swimming swan is controlled.

[0025] The swans turn their heads during the performances of being still, swimming, changing formations, etc., to increase the viewing experience and fun.

[0026] The present invention has the following advantages:

Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the present invention, not all of it. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle", etc. used in this specification are only for the convenience of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships should be regarded as within the scope of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a night-swimming swan, including a fake swan body 1, a propeller 2 arranged under the fake swan body 1, and a positioning module 3, a body posture sensing module 4, a wireless communication module 5 and a control main board 6 placed in the fake swan body 1.

[0038] The fake swan body 1 imitates the shape of a swan, can float on the water, and is provided with a light-emitting device 15. The light-emitting device 15 is a light strip or a light bar. The fake swan body 1 is made of a light-transmitting material. The light strip or light bar is set inside the fake swan body 1. After emitting light, it can show a swan in the dark. Generally, the fake swan body 1 includes a body part 11, a counterweight part 13 and a head and neck part 12; the counterweight part 13 is set at the bottom of the body part 11, the body part 11 floats on the water surface, and the counterweight part 13 is immersed in the water, which can ensure that the fake swan body 1 floats stably on the water surface; the head and neck part 12 is integrally connected to the body part 11, and there are light bars or light strips in the head and neck part 12 and the body part 11. Optionally, the head and neck 12 and the body 11 are rotatably connected via a rotating drive unit 14 (a servo can be used), which is equivalent to the head and neck 12 being disconnected from the body 11. A rotating drive unit 14 is provided at the disconnection point, with one end (such as a fixed end) of the rotating drive unit 14 being fixed to the body 11, and the other end (such as a rotating end) being fixed to the head and neck 12; the rotating drive is electrically connected to the control main board 6 and is controlled by the control main board 6; when the head and neck 12 rotates, it can simulate a swan turning its head (such as a scene where a swan puts its head on its back), thereby increasing interest and viewing pleasure.

[0039] The propeller 2 can be equipped with a steering gear, which can both propel and control the direction. In this embodiment, two propellers 2 are used, and the two propellers 2 are arranged horizontally side by side. The control main board 6 is electrically connected to the two propellers 2, and the propulsion speed of the two propellers 2 is independently controlled. By controlling the different speeds of the two propellers 2, differential steering of the fake swan body 1 is achieved. Compared with a single propeller 2 with steering, the dual propellers 2 are faster and more conducive to large-scale and large-interval cluster performances.

[0040] Positioning module 3 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module and is used to sense the position of the swan 1 and transmit it to wireless communication module 5. In this embodiment, positioning module 3 is a differential positioning RTK module. Using RTK technology, it more accurately obtains position information, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the centralized control performance. A differential positioning RTK base station is typically installed near the performance area to work with the differential positioning RTK module.

[0041] The body posture sensing module 4 is electrically connected to the wireless communication module 5, and is used to sense the body posture information of the fake swan body 1 and send it to the wireless communication module 5. In this embodiment, the body posture sensing module 4 adopts a high-precision IMU sensor.

[0042] The wireless communication module 5 communicates with the host computer through wireless communication. When the positioning module 3 is a differential positioning RTK module, the wireless communication module 5 also communicates with the differential positioning RTK base station through wireless communication. The wireless communication module 5 is also electrically connected to the control motherboard 6; the wireless communication module 5 is used to send position information and body posture information to the host computer, receive the centralized control performance instructions of the host computer and pass the centralized control performance instructions to the control motherboard 6.

[0043] The control main board 6 is used to control the working status of the propeller 2 and the light emitting device 15, for example: controlling the speed of the two propellers 2 and controlling the steering by the difference in speed; controlling the color change and flashing of the light strip or light bar to increase the viewing and fun.

[0044] By setting up the propeller 2, swimming mobility can be ensured; by setting up the positioning module 3 and the body posture sensing module 4, position information and body posture information can be obtained, providing relevant information for the centralized control performance, which is conducive to controlling the position and body posture during the later centralized control performance; by setting up the wireless communication module 5, wireless communication can be carried out; by setting up the control main board 6, the lighting, color change, flashing, etc. of the light-emitting device 15 can be controlled, and the speed and overall steering of the propeller 2 can be controlled.

[0045] When the head and neck 12 can rotate relative to the torso 11, a head posture sensing module 7 is also installed in the head and neck 12. The head posture sensing module 7 is also electrically connected to the wireless communication module 5 to sense the head posture information of the head and neck 12 and transmit it to the wireless communication module 5. The wireless communication module 5 transmits the head posture information to the host computer. By providing the head posture sensing module 7, the head posture information can be obtained, which is beneficial for controlling the head direction during the later centralized control performance.

[0046] In this embodiment, the night-swimming swan also includes a power supply module 8 disposed within the body 11. The power supply module 8 is electrically connected to the propeller 2, positioning module 3, body posture sensor module 4, head posture sensor module 7, wireless communication module 5, control mainboard 6, and light-emitting device 15. Generally, the power supply module 8 is electrically connected to the control mainboard 6, which in turn is electrically connected to the propeller 2, positioning module 3, body posture sensor module 4, head posture sensor module 7, wireless communication module 5, and light-emitting device 15 to provide power to each component. By providing the power supply module 8, electrical energy can be provided to the propeller 2, positioning module 3, body posture sensor module 4, head posture sensor module 7, wireless communication module 5, and control mainboard 6. If the head and neck portion 12 is rotatable, the power supply or signal line to the head and neck portion 12 needs to be a spiral cable, and the number of rotations of the head and neck portion 12 needs to be limited and reversed at appropriate times to avoid winding problems.

The centralized control performance instruction includes a propeller speed adjustment instruction, which controls the body orientation, propulsion speed, and propulsion direction of each night-swimming swan under the control of the control main board.

[0051] Performance information is not limited to the swimming path (body orientation can also be included in the swimming path), but can also include ambient lighting settings, working status settings of light-emitting devices (color, flashing, etc.), live music settings, and cluster formation settings.

[0052] Under the control of the host computer and with the assistance of the control mainboard of each night swan, each night swan is initialized according to the initialization information, such as arranging according to the initial formation, and then performing a cluster performance according to the performance information, such as touring and swimming in coordination with lights or music, changing formations, turning, changing color and flashing of light-emitting devices, etc.

[0053] When the head and neck can rotate relative to the body, the upper computer is also used to: receive the head posture information of each night-swimming swan, compare it with the initialization information, and send a head posture adjustment instruction to the night-swimming swan that is inconsistent with the initialization information, so that the night-swimming swan adjusts the head and neck posture to make its head posture information consistent with the initialization information; the performance information includes the head orientation, and the centralized control performance instruction includes the head orientation adjustment instruction, which controls the head orientation of each night-swimming swan under the control of the control main board.

[0054] The swans turn their heads during the performances of being still, swimming, changing formations, etc., to increase the viewing experience and fun.

[0055] Although the present invention has been described in detail above using general descriptions and specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and improvements may be made thereto. Therefore, such modifications and improvements, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are intended to be within the scope of protection claimed herein.
