By sliding the seat on the support platform 10, the real experience of ship sailing can be further simulated.

[0045] The following is a detailed description of each part of the motion platform for amusement equipment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure:

[0046] The driving assembly 20 is used to drive the support platform 10 to move. The movement of the support platform 10 includes one or more of lifting, rotation and translation, which can move in a single direction, or can move in multiple directions at the same time to form a composite movement. That is, the support platform 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can achieve three degrees of freedom of pitch, roll and tilt.

[0047] The support platform 10 is used to support and install the seat assembly 30, the seat assembly 30 is arranged on the top surface of the support platform 10, and the drive assembly 20 is arranged at the bottom of the support platform 10. Multiple rows of seats can be arranged on the support platform 10, and the row direction of the seats is the width direction of the support platform 10.

[0048] Since multiple rows of seats are arranged on the support platform 10, in order to avoid the front row blocking the back row and affecting the viewing experience of the back row, the top surface of the support platform 10 can be provided with a step structure, and the height of the step gradually decreases in the direction close to the bow. A row of seats is arranged on each step.

[0049] In some embodiments, the amusement platform for simulating a ship provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to an indoor scene. In the indoor application scenario, the motion platform assembly, the seat assembly 30 and the screen assembly are installed indoors. For the convenience of installation and transportation, the motion platform assembly provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be a modular motion platform assembly.

[0050] It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the support platform 10 may also be an integrated support platform 10. For example, the support platform 10 is an integrated die-casting platform, or the support platform 10 is a plurality of modules formed into an integrated structure by welding, etc., and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. When the support platform 10 is an integrated structure, the top surface of the support platform 10 also presents a stepped structure.

[0051] The driving assembly 20 includes an adapter module and a power module 21, wherein the adapter module connects the power module 21 and the support platform 10; wherein the power module 21 has a power output shaft 25, the power output shaft 25 is connected to the adapter module, and the power output shafts 25 of multiple power modules 21 are not parallel to each other.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the adapter module includes a first adapter 23, a second adapter 24 and a driving arm 22, wherein the first adapter 23 is connected to the support platform 10 and can rotate relative to the support platform 10; one end of the second adapter 24 is connected to the first adapter 23 and the second adapter 24 can rotate relative to the first adapter 23; the driving arm 22 is respectively connected to the second adapter 24 and the power output shaft 25 of the power module 21.

The second adapter part 232 is connected to the first adapter part 231, and an installation groove may be provided at one end of the second adapter part 232 away from the first adapter part 231, and the second adapter part 24 partially extends into the installation groove, and the pin shaft passes through the first adapter part 23 and the second adapter part 24 located in the installation groove. The pin shaft can be fixed to the first adapter part 23, and the second adapter part 24 can rotate around the pin shaft, thereby realizing the relative movement of the first adapter part 231 and the second adapter part 232.

[0058] The second adapter 24 includes a connecting column, a first fork plate 242 and a second fork plate 243, the connecting column is connected to the first adapter 23; the first fork plate 242 is connected to one end of the connecting column away from the support platform 10; the second fork plate 243 is connected to one end of the connecting column away from the support platform 10; the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243 are arranged opposite to each other, and a accommodating space is formed between the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243, the power module 21 is arranged between the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243, and the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243 are respectively connected to the power module 21 through the driving arm 22. The power output shaft 25 passes through the power module 21, and the two ends of the power output shaft 25 are respectively connected to the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243 through the driving arm 22. For example, the output shaft of the reducer 212 passes through the reducer 212, and the two ends of the output shaft of the reducer 212 are respectively connected to the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243 through the driving arm 22.

[0059] Among them, one end of the connecting column close to the first adapter 23 extends into the mounting groove on the first adapter 23. The first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243 are arranged opposite to each other, and the distance between the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243 is greater than the width of the power module 21, and the power module 21 can be accommodated between the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243. When the driving arm 22 is at the lowest position, the power module 21 is at least partially located between the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243.

[0060] The adapter module may be provided with a first driving arm 22 and a second driving arm 22, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the reducer 212.

In addition, the first fork plate 242 is located on the side of the first driving arm 22 away from the reducer 212, and the second fork plate 243 is located on the side of the second driving arm 22 away from the reducer 212. When the reducer 212 rotates, the first driving arm 22 and the second driving arm 22 are driven to rotate, and the first driving arm 22 and the second driving arm 22 drive the first fork plate 242 and the second fork plate 243 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the second adapter 24, and the movement of the second adapter 24 is transmitted to the support platform 10 through the first adapter 23.

[0061] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first drive assembly 201, the second drive assembly 202 and the third drive assembly 203 are arranged at the bottom of the support platform 10, and the first drive assembly 201, the second drive assembly 202 and the third drive assembly 203 are not arranged in a colinear manner. For example, the first drive assembly 201, the second drive assembly 202 and the third drive assembly 203 are distributed in an isosceles triangle.
