[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0027] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, an odor generating device based on virtual reality technology is used to increase the odor emission range of the odor generator 5.

[0028] Specifically, it includes a base 1, a treading platform 2, a rotating ring 3, a support column 4, an odor generator 5 and an adjustment mechanism 6; the treading platform 2 is installed on the base 1, the rotating ring 3 is movably mounted on the treading platform 2, and the odor generator 5 is installed on the rotating ring 3 through the support column 4; the adjustment mechanism 6 is arranged on the base 1.

[0029] In actual use, the rotating ring 3, the support column 4 and the odor generator 5 are driven to rotate by adjusting the coordination between the internal components of the mechanism 6, so that the odor generator 5 can rotate with the center of the stepping platform 2 as the base point, thereby expanding the odor emission range of the odor generator 5.

[0030] See also Figure 2 In order to drive the odor generator 5 to rotate, the adjustment mechanism 6 in this embodiment includes a rotating component, which includes a mounting frame 601, a motor 602, a gear 603 and a gear ring 604; the mounting frame 601 is assembled on the outer peripheral surface of the base 1, the motor 602 is arranged on the mounting frame 601, the gear 603 is sleeved on the output end of the motor 602, the gear 603 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating ring 3, and the gear ring 604 is transmission-connected with the gear 603.

[0031] During actual use, the output end of the motor 602 rotates to drive the gear 603 to rotate. Through the meshing effect, when the gear 603 rotates, it can drive the gear ring 604 and the rotating ring 3 to rotate. At this time, the support column 4 and the odor generator 5 located on the rotating ring 3 rotate around the user, thereby increasing the odor emission range of the odor generator 5. At the same time, it can also achieve a multi-directional odor emission effect, further enhancing the user experience.

[0032] It should be noted that the output end of the odor generator 5 faces the direction of the pedal platform 2, and the cross-section of the upper surface of the pedal platform 2 is circular. In addition, the center point of the toothed ring 604 and the center point of the rotating ring 3 are located in the same Z-axis direction.

[0033] In actual settings, the output end of the odor generator 5 is facing the direction of the treading platform 2, and the odor can be released directly to the treading platform 2, ensuring uniform distribution of the odor and enhancing the perception effect of the odor. In addition, the center point of the toothed ring 604 and the center point of the rotating ring 3 are located in the same Z-axis direction, which helps to ensure that the toothed ring 604 remains stable during rotation, reduces deviation and swing during rotation, and improves the stability and reliability of the system.

[0034] See also Figure 3 In order to ensure that the odor generator 5 can swing and adjust the angle between the odor generator 5 and the pedaling platform 2, the present embodiment is characterized in that: the support column 4 includes a bottom column 401 and a top column 402; the bottom column 401 is vertically mounted on the rotating ring 3, and the top column 402 is hinged to the top of the bottom column 401 through a hinge shaft.

[0035] In actual settings, through the hinged design of the support column 4, the user can easily adjust the angle between the odor generator 5 and the pedaling platform 2 to meet the needs and preferences of different users. The hinged connection of the support column 4 allows the odor generator 5 to swing, thereby enhancing the flexibility and adjustability of the system, allowing the user to more freely control the way the odor is released.

[0036] In addition, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the angle between the odor generator 5 and the pedaling platform 2, the adjustment mechanism 6 in this embodiment also includes a swinging assembly, which includes a mounting plate 605 and a cylinder 606; the mounting plate 605 is installed on the outer side of the bottom column 401, and the cylinder 606 is hinged to the mounting plate 605 through a hinge shaft, and the output end of the cylinder 606 is hinged to the top column 402 through a hinge shaft.

[0037] In actual use, the output end of the cylinder 606 is extended and retracted to drive the top column 402 to swing back and forth, and at the same time drive the odor generator 5 to adjust the angle between the odor generator 5 and the pedaling platform 2.

[0038] It should be noted that the mounting plate 605 and the bottom column 401 are vertically distributed, and the maximum swing angle of the top column 402 does not exceed sixty degrees.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
