Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of machinery, in particular to a landscape generation system. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, the presentation of spatial information has gradually evolved from two-dimensional to three-dimensional. This is because three-dimensional representations of the real world can more intuitively and realistically represent the real world. In many contexts, three-dimensional presentations can meet people's needs for immersive experiences or the desire for three-dimensional landscapes. For example, during stage performances, stage designers often need to place props on the stage to simulate the scenery of the story, thereby enhancing the audience's experience. For another example, when users use devices based on virtual reality (VR) technology for entertainment activities, they not only want to obtain a visual representation of the game scene, but also want the landscape of the game scene to be generated within the activity space. Users can interact with the generated landscape within the activity space, thereby obtaining a better and more immersive gaming experience. For another example, when urban designers are planning cities, they hope to make the city three-dimensional, so as to more intuitively display the resources of the aerial and underground spaces, explore the potential for their utilization in the urban planning process, and provide residents with richer social spaces. For another example, when architects present their architectural designs, they hope to present their designs in a more three-dimensional way for viewers.
[0003] The content of the background technology section is merely information known to the inventor personally, and does not mean that the above information has entered the public domain before the application date of this disclosure, nor does it mean that it can become the prior art of the present disclosure.

[0056] These and other features of this specification, as well as the operation and function of the associated elements of the structure, and the economical assembly and manufacture of the components, can be significantly improved by taking into account the following description. The description also includes all figures and text referenced in the drawings herein, all of which form a part of this specification. However, it should be expressly understood that the drawings are for illustration and description purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this specification. It should also be understood that the drawings are not drawn to scale.
[0057] The flowcharts used in this specification illustrate operations implemented by systems according to some embodiments of the present specification.

Furthermore, one or more additional operations may be added to the flowcharts. One or more operations may be removed from the flowcharts.
[0058] To facilitate readers' understanding of this specification, at least some of the terms in this specification are explained as follows:
[0059] Landscape: This term refers to the complex terrain, landforms, soil, water bodies, plants, and animals within a specific area. Terrain refers to the various elevations and elevations of fixed objects above the Earth's surface. For example, landscapes can include both natural and cultural landscapes. Cultural landscapes can include historical sites, buildings and facilities, and cultural and artistic landscapes. Buildings and facilities can include urban communities, buildings, museums, art galleries, opera houses, flower beds, rest pavilions, public seating, and the like, though this specification does not limit these areas.
[0060] Figure 1A A structural diagram of a landscape generation system 001 is shown. Figure 1B The structure diagram of another landscape generation system 001 is shown. The landscape generation system 001 includes at least one landscape generation module 100 and a control module 200. For example, the landscape generation system 001 includes M landscape generation modules 100 and control modules 200 arranged in an array. Wherein, M is an integer greater than or equal to 1. For example, Figure 1AThe landscape generation system 001 shown in FIG includes four landscape generation modules 100, where M=4. For another example, Figure 1B The landscape generation system 001 shown in FIG includes five landscape generation modules 100, where M=5. The control module 200 can be connected to the plurality of landscape generation modules 100 for communication and control to run the corresponding landscape generation modules 100 to generate the preset landscape. For example, Figure 1A As shown, the control module 200 can be connected to the landscape generation module 100 via a data line 150 in wired communication.
[0061] The user can control the M landscape generation modules 100 in the landscape generation system 001 through the control module 200 to generate preset landscapes, thereby meeting the user experience in different scenarios or the user's demand for three-dimensional landscapes. For example, when a user uses a VR-based device to play golf, the preset landscapes can be different areas of an actual golf course. For example, the preset landscape can be a raised high grass field on a golf course. Another example is a sunken sand trap on a golf course. In some embodiments, the preset landscapes can include preset architectural landscapes and / or preset facility landscapes. For example, the preset landscape can be a building in a city, including a music hall, museum, etc. Another example is a preset landscape can be a community in a city. A community can include residential buildings and supporting community supermarkets, hospitals, etc. Another example is a preset landscape can be a seat in a park or fitness equipment in a park.
[0062] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a single landscape generation module 100 is shown. Each of the M landscape generation modules 100 may have some or all of the structural features or characteristics described below. Each landscape generation module 100 includes a base frame 110 and N telescopic units 120 connected to the base frame 110 and arranged in an array. N is an integer greater than 1.
[0063] The base frame 110 may be a support member for the entire landscape generation module 100. Figure 2 As shown, the base frame 110 can be located at the bottom of the entire landscape generation module 100. Other components (such as N telescopic units 120, control module 200) can be installed on the base frame 110 or connected to the base frame 110. Figure 2 As shown, the base frame 110 may include a first base 111. The N telescopic units 120 are mechanically connected to the first base 111. The mechanical connection here and the mechanical connection mentioned below may be bonding, welding, seaming connection, riveting, etc., which is not limited in this specification.
[0064] The specific shape of the base frame 110 can be set according to the scene requirements, and this specification does not limit it. Figure 2The first base 111 shown in FIG is a rectangular parallelepiped. The shape of the base 110 is set to be a rectangular parallelepiped so that the bases 110 of the M landscape generation modules 100 can be placed closely together, so that the gaps between the bases 110 are small, and the generated preset landscape is more continuous and ornamental.
[0065] In some embodiments, in addition to the first base 111, the base frame 110 may further include a second base 112 ( Figure 2 The specific structure of the base frame 110 including the second base 112 will be described later.
[0066] N telescopic units 120 can be connected to the base frame 110 and arranged in an array. Wherein, N is an integer greater than 1. For example, the value of N can be 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, etc. Wherein, the number of telescopic units 120 and the arrangement of the N telescopic units can be selected according to the specific circumstances of the actual occasion and the preset landscape, and are not required in this specification. For example Figure 2 In FIG. 1 , the landscape generation module 100 includes 20 telescopic units 120 distributed in a 2×10 array.
[0067] Arranging N telescopic units 120 in an array not only allows for more efficient use of space, but also allows for the number and arrangement of telescopic units 120 to be adjusted to accommodate different user landscape requirements. Furthermore, arranging N telescopic units 120 in an array also makes the landscape generation module 100 more visually neat and aesthetically pleasing.
[0068] Figure 3 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a telescopic unit 120. Each telescopic unit 120 includes a landscaping portion 121 and a driving mechanism 122 mechanically connected to the landscaping portion 121 and the base frame 110. The driving mechanism 122 can drive the landscaping portion 121 to move when in operation.
[0069] The landscaping unit 121 can be used to generate a preset landscape. As previously described, the landscape generation system 001 includes M landscape generation modules 100 arranged in an array. Each landscape generation module 100 includes N telescopic units 120 arranged in an array. Each telescopic unit includes a landscaping unit 121. Therefore, the landscape generation system 001 includes M×N landscaping units 121 arranged in an array. All (M×N) landscaping units 121 in the landscape generation system 001 can collectively generate a preset landscape, with each of the N landscaping units 121 in the landscape generation module 100 generating a portion of the preset landscape.
[0070] The landscaping portion 121 may extend along a target direction. The target direction may be the direction in which the landscaping portion 121 moves, that is, the direction in which the landscaping portion 121 forms a preset landscape. The target direction may also be referred to as the landscaping direction. For example, the target direction may be Figure 3 The X-axis direction shown. The landscaping portion 121 can be a prism extending along the X-axis direction. Setting the landscaping portion 121 to a rectangular parallelepiped prism structure with a rectangular cross section can make the multiple landscaping portions 121 distributed in an array closely arranged, so that the gaps between the landscaping portions 121 are smaller, and the generated preset landscape is more continuous and ornamental. For another example, the target direction can be any other direction that the user wants to generate a preset landscape. For example, the target direction can be the same as Figure 3 The X-axis is in the direction of any non-zero angle. Of course, the cross-section of the landscaping portion 121 can also be other polygonal or circular. In some embodiments, the landscaping portion 121 can be a solid structure to provide higher mechanical strength. In other embodiments, the landscaping portion 121 can be a hollow structure to reduce mass and reduce the driving burden of the drive mechanism 122.
[0071] The landscaping portion 121 may include an end surface 121A away from the base frame 110. Figure 3 As shown, the end surface 121A can be a plane. The end surface 121A of the landscaping portion 121 can also be set to other structures according to the characteristics of the preset landscape and the effect to be achieved. Figure 4A A structural schematic diagram of the landscaping part 121 is shown. Figure 4B Another structural diagram of the landscaping part 121 is shown. Figure 4A As shown, the landscaping portion 121 can be a combination of a prism and a pyramid. In this case, the end face 121A of the landscaping portion 121 is the side face of the pyramid. Figure 4B As shown, the end surface 121A of the landscaping portion 121 can be a wave-like curved surface. Different shapes of landscaping portions 121 can create different overall effects for the preset landscape. Based on different landscape requirements, the landscape generation module 100 can be equipped with different landscaping portions 121 to generate the preset landscape, thereby making the generated preset landscape more realistic. The M×N landscaping portions 121 of the M×N telescopic units 120 included in the M landscape generation modules 100 can have different end surfaces 121A to create a richer and more complex preset landscape.
[0072] Continue to refer to Figure 3The overall size of the M landscape generation modules 100 can be selected based on the application scenario. When the area occupied by the generated preset landscape is relatively large, the area of each landscaping section 121 that constitutes the preset landscape can be relatively large. When the area occupied by the generated preset landscape is relatively small, the area of each landscaping section 121 that constitutes the preset landscape can be relatively small. For example, in some embodiments, the side length of each landscaping section 121 can range from 2 cm to 4 cm. For example, the side length of each landscaping section 121 can be 2 cm, 2.5 cm, 2.9 cm, 3 cm, 3.5 cm, 4 cm, etc., as well as any value between any two values.
[0073] In some embodiments, each landscaping section 121 can have a first projection in the target direction. The area of the first projection can be between 4 and 16 square centimeters. Because the N telescopic units 120 are arranged in an array, the first projection of the landscaping section 121 in the target direction should fall within the projection of the base frame 110 in the target direction, or the projection of the base frame 110 in the target direction should overlap the first projection. At the same time, the drive mechanism 122 that drives the landscaping section 121 needs to be designed to be arranged along the target direction, and its projection in the target direction cannot be larger than the first projection. This means that the telescopic unit 120 extends as a whole along the target direction, not occupying excessive space in directions other than the target direction. This arrangement not only saves space occupied by the landscape generation module 100, but also ensures that when the user looks at the landscaping section 121 from the target direction or other directions, the gaps between the landscaping sections 121 of different telescopic units 120 are smaller, resulting in a more compact, continuous, and visually appealing preset landscape.
[0074] In some embodiments, the first projected area of all landscaping sections 121 of the entire landscape generation system 001 in the target direction can be between 8 square centimeters and 180 square centimeters. For example, the first projected area of one landscaping section 121 can be 4 square centimeters. When the landscape generation system 001 includes 20 landscaping sections 121, the first projected area of all landscaping sections 121 in the entire landscape generation system 001 is 80 square centimeters. When the landscape generation system 001 includes 40 landscaping sections 121, the first projected area of all landscaping sections 121 in the entire landscape generation system 001 is 160 square centimeters. In other embodiments, the first projected area of all landscaping sections 121 in the target direction can be greater than 180 square centimeters. For example, the first projected area of one landscaping section 121 can be 4 square centimeters. When the landscape generation system 001 includes 80 landscaping sections 121, the first projected area of all landscaping sections 121 in the entire landscape generation system 001 is 320 square centimeters. For another example, the first projection area of a landscaping portion 121 may be 9 square centimeters. When the landscape generation system 001 includes 40 landscaping portions 121 , the first projection area of the landscaping portions 121 of the entire landscape generation system 001 is 360 square centimeters.
[0075] The driving mechanism 122 is mechanically connected to the landscaping section 121 and the base frame 110. When the driving mechanism 122 is in operation, it drives the landscaping section 121 to move within a preset interval along a target direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the end face 121A of the landscaping section 121 and the base frame 110, and can stop and lock the landscaping section 121 at any position within the preset interval. As mentioned above, the target direction can be the direction in which the landscaping section 121 generates a preset landscape. The driving mechanism 122 can adjust the distance between the end face of the landscaping section 121 and the base frame 110 by changing the distance that the landscaping section 121 extends along the target direction, so that the landscaping section 121 has different heights in the target direction, thereby presenting the undulating state (topography) of the surface of the preset landscape. The preset interval can be set according to the specific undulating state of the preset landscape. The preset interval can be defined based on the position that the end face 121A can reach, or it can be set based on the position that other parts of the landscaping section 121 can reach, and this is not limited in this specification. The length of the preset interval may be the distance between two end surfaces 121A that are farthest apart in the preset landscape.
[0076] The landscaping unit 121 can move in the target direction in the positive direction of the X-axis or in the negative direction of the X-axis, thereby forming a static landscape or a dynamic landscape. For example, the preset landscape is a building or a mountain. The landscaping unit 121 can move from a position in contact with the base 110 along the positive direction of the X-axis to a certain distance from the base 110, thereby forming a static landscape of a building or a mountain. For another example, the preset landscape is the process of landslide. In order to show the process of landslide, the landscaping unit 121 can move from a certain distance from the base 110 along the negative direction of the X-axis to contact with the base 110, thereby creating a dynamic landscape of landslide.
[0077] There are many ways to implement the driving mechanism 122 to drive the landscaping part 121 to move. In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 122 may include a gear rack mechanism. Specifically: the motor drives the gear; the gear is connected to the rack; the rack is connected to the landscaping part 121. Among them, the rack can extend along the target direction, so that when the rack moves, it can drive the landscaping part 121 to move forward or backward in the target direction. However, the gear rack mechanism cannot complete self-locking, so the landscaping part 121 cannot rely on the driving mechanism 122 to stay at any position in the preset range due to external force, and the generated preset landscape cannot be maintained. For example, the landscaping part 121 is as follows Figure 2 When the landscaping part 121 is placed on the ground in a certain manner, the external force is the weight of the landscaping part itself. In order to lock the landscaping part 121, the landscape generation module 100 must also include a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can be a ratchet mechanism, a worm gear mechanism, or the like.
[0078] As previously described, the landscaping portion 121 has a first projection in the target direction. In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 122 has a second projection in the target direction, and the second projection is located within the first projection. This arrangement ensures that when a user views the landscaping portion 121 from the target direction or other directions, the driving mechanism 122 is completely within the first projection. This prevents the driving mechanism 122 from interfering with the operation of adjacent telescopic units 120. Furthermore, this design minimizes the gaps between adjacent landscaping portions 121, resulting in a more compact, continuous, and visually appealing pre-set landscape. In some embodiments, the second projection being located within the first projection can include the edge of the second projection being located within the edge of the first projection. For example, when the landscaping portion 121 is a hollow cylinder, the projection of the landscaping portion 121 can be a circular ring. The corresponding projection of the driving mechanism 122 can be located within the inner region of the larger radius of the circular ring. In other embodiments, the second projection is located within the projection area of the first projection. In other words, the first projection completely covers the second projection. For example, when the landscaping portion 121 is a quadrangular prism, the first projection is a rectangle. The projection of the corresponding drive mechanism 122 is covered by a rectangle.
[0079] When the area of the first projection is relatively small (ranging from 4 to 16 square centimeters), in order to ensure that the second projection is located inside the first projection and that the drive mechanism 122 has a certain mechanical strength in the first direction, the drive mechanism 122 as a whole needs to extend with the target direction as the axis. Therefore, the drive mechanism 122 must be a mechanism that occupies a small space. The above-mentioned rack and pinion mechanism occupies a large space and requires an additional locking mechanism, which occupies an even larger space overall. Its second projection is difficult to be located inside the first projection. In other words, using a rack and pinion mechanism, the drive mechanism 122 cannot drive the landscaping unit 121 to move in a limited space while ensuring that the landscaping unit 121 remains in a fixed position after generating the preset landscape. Therefore, in addition to driving the landscaping unit 121 to move, the drive mechanism 122 also needs to be able to stop and lock the landscaping unit 121 at any position in the preset range, thereby generating a partial landscape of the preset landscape. In this way, the drive mechanism 122 does not require an additional locking mechanism to fix the preset landscape, thereby reducing the space occupied by the telescopic unit 120.
[0080] Therefore, the driving mechanism 122 may be a screw transmission mechanism. For example, the driving mechanism 122 includes a driving member 122A ( Figure 3 122A is located on the same side of the base frame 110, and the driving member 122A can be connected to the landscaping portion 121. The screw rod 122C includes a first end 122C1 and a second end 122C2. The screw rod 122C can be set along the target direction and threadedly connected to the driving member 122A. When the screw rod 122C rotates, it can drive the driving member 122A to move between the first end 122C1 and the second end 122C2. The distance between the first end 122C1 and the second end 122C2 can be the length of a preset interval. When the driving member 122A is at the second end 122C2, the landscaping portion 121 can be located at a position closest to the first base 111 in the preset interval, and the landscaping portion 121 is located at the lowest point in the preset interval. When the driving member 122A is at the first end 122C1 , the landscaping portion 121 is located at a position farthest from the first base 111 in the preset interval, and the landscaping portion 121 is located at the highest point in the preset interval.
[0081] Figure 5 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a landscaping part 121 and a driving member 122A. Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the landscaping portion 121 may be provided with a first slot 121B for accommodating a driving member 122A. The driving member 122A may be snap-fitted or bonded to the first slot 121B. The small hole of the driving member 122A may have a thread.
[0082] In order to achieve the self-locking of the driving mechanism 122, the lead angle of the screw on the screw rod 122C is less than the friction angle of the threaded connection between the screw rod 122C and the driving member 122A. Among them, the friction angle of the threaded connection is also the equivalent friction angle. After the driving mechanism 122 is self-locked, when it is subjected to an external force in the target direction (such as an external force transmitted from the landscaping part 121), the driving member 122A will not slide or rotate along the screw rod, so that the landscaping part 121 can stay in a fixed position to maintain the preset landscape. However, the lead angle of the thread on the screw rod 122C cannot be too small (that is, the lead of the screw rod 122C is too small) to avoid the distance the screw rod advances per rotation being too small, the speed at which the landscaping part 121 rises is slow, and the time required to form the preset landscape is long, which does not meet the needs of the user. The specific lead of the thread can be selected according to the moving speed of the landscaping part 121 required by the user, provided that it can self-lock. This specification does not limit it here.
[0083] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 122 may further include a guide rail arranged along the target direction. The guide rail may be fixedly connected to the first base 111. The landscaping portion 121 may be slidably arranged on the guide rail. For example, the guide rail may be a U-shaped guide rail. By using a U-shaped guide rail, the landscaping portion 121 may be better prevented from rotating, making its movement more stable. Accordingly, the landscaping portion 121 may further include a second notch 121C for the U-shaped guide rail to pass through. The landscaping portion 121 may form a guide column and guide sleeve structure with the U-shaped guide rail.
[0084] Continue to refer to Figure 3The drive mechanism 122 may further include a motor assembly 122F. The motor assembly 122F may be connected to the second end 122C2 of the screw rod 122C. When in operation, the motor assembly 122F may drive the screw rod 122C to rotate, thereby driving the landscaping portion 121 to move. In some embodiments, the motor assembly 122F includes only a motor. For example, the motor assembly 122F includes a stepper motor. A stepper motor is an open-loop control element that converts an electrical pulse signal into an angular displacement or linear displacement. When the stepper motor receives a pulse signal, it drives the stepper motor to rotate a fixed angle in a set direction, allowing the angular displacement to be controlled by controlling the number of pulses, thereby achieving the purpose of correct positioning. After the stepper motor receives a start signal, that is, a pulse signal, the output shaft of the stepper motor rotates a preset angle. Each preset angle of rotation drives the screw rod 122C to rotate a corresponding angle, thereby driving the drive member 122A to move a preset distance. In other embodiments, the motor assembly 122F may include a motor and a reducer. The reducer can be connected to the second end 122C2, and then the motor is connected to the reducer. When the motor is working, the reducer drives the screw rod 122C to rotate. Since the original speed of the motor is usually fixed and the speed is relatively fast, directly connecting the motor to the screw rod 122C will cause the landscaping part 121 to rise too fast. Therefore, by setting a reducer, the rotation speed of the screw rod 122C can be adjusted to an appropriate speed, so that the landscaping part 121 can rise stably. For example, the rising speed of the landscaping part 121 can be 10mm / s to 15mm / s. The rising speed can be 10mm / s, 12mm / s, 13mm / s, 15mm / s, etc. and any value between two values.
[0085] The above-mentioned motor assembly 122F may include an output shaft. The output shaft may be directly connected to the screw rod 122C for transmission. In some embodiments, the second end 122C2 of the screw rod 122C may have a straight groove, which is directly connected to the double-flat shaft of the motor in the motor assembly 122F for transmission. Due to manufacturing and installation errors, the output shaft and the screw rod 122C may be slightly out of axial alignment. The above-mentioned errors may cause vibrations to be generated during the process of rotation being transmitted from the motor assembly 122F to the screw rod 122C. Therefore, in some embodiments, the output shaft and the second end 122C2 of the motor assembly 122F may also be connected via a coupling. By providing a coupling, the transmission of rotation may be smoother, thereby reducing the above-mentioned vibrations and making the entire landscape generation module 100 more stable.
[0086] The landscape generating module 100 further includes a limit switch, which controls the movement of the landscaping portion 121 by controlling the movement of the driving member 122A, thereby limiting the position of the landscaping portion 121 .
[0087] In some embodiments, each telescopic unit 120 may include a first switch. The first switch may be disposed on the first base 111. The first switch may be in communication with at least one of the drive mechanism 122 or the control module 200 (described below). The first switch is disposed in the movement path of the drive member 122A. When the drive member 122A moves in the target direction and contacts the first switch, the first switch controls the drive mechanism 122 to stop rotating the lead screw 122C, or controls the control module 200 to issue a stop command to the drive mechanism 122. Specifically, the first switch may be disposed on the side of the first base 111 facing the drive member 122A. The first base 111 may be provided with a slot for mounting the first switch. When the drive member 122A moves in the positive direction of the X-axis, the height of the landscaping portion 121 rises. When the drive member 122A continues to move in the positive direction of the X-axis until it contacts the first switch, that is, contacts the first base 111, the drive member 122A has no further room to move, and the landscaping portion 121 reaches the highest point within the preset range. At this point, the drive mechanism 122 no longer needs to drive the drive member 122A to move, that is, no longer needs to drive the screw rod 122C to rotate. Therefore, the contact of the drive member 122A with the first switch can serve as a signal to stop the drive mechanism 122 from driving the screw rod 122C. For example, the first switch can control the motor assembly 122F to stop rotating, thereby stopping the screw rod 122C from rotating, saving energy.
[0088] In some embodiments, the first switch can be used to control the initialization of the M landscape generation modules 100. Initialization can be performed so that the M×N landscape sections 121 are at the same height. For example, the M×N landscape sections 121 are all at the highest point of a preset interval. Another example is that the M×N landscape sections 121 are all at the lowest point of a preset interval. This ensures that the height of each landscape section 121 is calibrated, resulting in a more accurate generated preset landscape.
[0089] As mentioned above, the landscaping portion 121 can be a solid structure. The landscaping portion 121 can also be a hollow structure, thereby reducing the mass and reducing the driving burden of the driving mechanism 122. When the landscaping portion 121 is hollow, the landscaping portion 121 is more likely to shake during movement. Therefore, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 122 may further include a limit block 122C3. The limit block 122C3 can be provided at the first end 122C1 of the screw rod 122C and abut against the guide rail 122D and the landscaping portion 121 respectively to limit the landscaping portion 121 from twisting. Figure 3As shown, the limit block 122C3 can be sleeved on the top of the screw rod 122C. The limit block 122C3 can constrain the relative position of the screw rod 122C and the U-shaped guide rail. One end of the limit block 122C3 is against the U-shaped guide rail, and the other end is against the landscaping part 121. Because the rigidity of the landscaping part 121 may be insufficient, the angle may change, and the movement process cannot go straight up and down along the target direction. The limiting of the limit block 122C3 can prevent the landscaping part 121 from twisting, thereby ensuring that it does not deviate from the target direction and ensuring the stability of its movement. In some embodiments, the limit block 122C3 and the screw rod 122C are connected by a bearing to avoid affecting the rotational movement of the screw rod 122C.
[0090] Continue to refer to Figure 3 Because the screw rod 122C is too long, the landscaping portion 121 may wobble when it moves above the screw rod 122C. Therefore, the first base 111 can be thickened to increase the area for fixing the screw rod 122C. For example, to make the first base 111 thicker, the first base 111 can include two layers. For example, the first base 111 can include an upper base 111A near the landscaping portion 121 and a lower base 111B. Figure 6A A schematic structural diagram of an upper base 111A is shown. Figure 6B A structural schematic diagram of a lower base 111B is shown. Figure 6A The portion enclosed by the dotted circle is a structure for connecting the first base 111 and a telescopic unit 120 .
[0091] by Figure 6A For example, the upper base 111A may be provided with a U-shaped guide rail placement location 111A1 and a limit switch placement location 111A2, wherein the limit switch may be the first switch as described above.
[0092] In addition to increasing the thickness of first base 111 as described above, the use of bearings can also strengthen the fixation of the bottom of screw 122C, enhancing the stability of screw 122C. In some embodiments, first base 111 may include a bearing placement 111A3 for accommodating thrust bearings, thereby limiting the radial and axial movement of screw 122C and preventing the landscape portion 121 from shaking. For example, one bearing can be placed on upper base 111A and two angular contact ball bearings can be placed on lower base 111B to withstand the axial thrust from screw 122C.
[0093] The slots of the lower base 111B correspond to the slots of the upper base 111A, and are not described in detail here. However, the U-shaped guide rail placement 111A1 passes through the board surface of the upper base 111A, but does not pass through the board surface of the lower base 111B, thereby allowing the U-shaped guide rail to be fixed at the lower base 111B.
[0094] Control module 200 (see Figure 1A and Figure 1B ) can be respectively communicated with the M landscape generation modules 100, and during operation, the target position of each landscaping part in the M landscape generation modules is determined based on the preset landscape, and the corresponding driving mechanism 122 is controlled based on the target position of each landscaping part 121. Specifically, the user can input information about the target position to the control module 200, that is, the information of the distance moved along the target direction by each landscaping part 121. The control module 200 controls the motor of the corresponding driving mechanism 122 to rotate the screw rod 122C, so that the landscaping part 121 reaches the target position. Specifically, the control module 200 controls the motor assembly 122F in the driving mechanism 122 according to the moving distance. When the landscaping part 121 moves the above-mentioned moving distance, the motor assembly 122F stops driving the screw rod 122C to rotate. At the same time, since the driving mechanism 122 has a self-locking function, the landscaping part 121 will not change its position due to external forces (such as its own gravity) after reaching the target position.
[0095] As mentioned above, a limit switch, such as a first switch, can be provided on the base frame 110. The limit switch can be connected to the control module 200 for communication. When the driving member 122A or the landscaping portion 121 moves in the target direction and touches the limit switch, the limit switch can control the control module 200 to issue a stop operation instruction to the driving mechanism 122. Specifically, when the driving member 122A or the landscaping portion 121 touches the limit switch, the control module 200 issues a stop operation instruction to the motor assembly 122F of the driving mechanism 122. The motor assembly 122F stops driving the screw rod 122C to rotate. At the same time, since the driving mechanism 122 has a self-locking function, the landscaping portion 121 will not change its position due to external forces (such as its own gravity) after reaching the target position.
[0096] In some embodiments, the landscape generation system 001 may also include a cooler to cool the control module 200 or a predetermined area of the control module 200, such as a circuit board. For example, the cooler may be a liquid cooling device. The liquid cooling device 200 utilizes a fluid (e.g., coolant) as a heat transfer medium to transfer heat generated during operation of the control module 200 to the exterior of the landscape generation system 001 through a circulating flow. For example, the liquid cooling device may include a cooling plate or cooling channel. The cooling plate or cooling channel may contact the control module, thereby cooling the control module 200. Another example is that the cooler may be an air conditioner, which directly lowers the ambient temperature of the system 001, thereby cooling the control module 200. Another example is that the cooler may be an air blower, which cools the control module with cool air. In some embodiments, the landscape generation system 001 may include multiple air blowers. For example, the landscape generation system 001 may include a blower and an exhaust device, thereby cooling the control module 200 and promptly discharging heat from the system. Any combination of the above coolers may be used to cool the control module 200 .
[0097] 7A to 7D A schematic structural diagram of different preset landscapes generated by multiple landscape generation modules 100 provided according to some embodiments of this specification is shown.
[0098] like Figure 7A As shown, the preset landscape can be a slope S1. The landscaping part 121 rises successively, showing the topographical characteristics of the slope. Figure 10 Since a plurality of landscape generation modules 100 are used, the generated preset landscape has a larger area and is more consistent with the actual landscape, thereby enhancing the user experience.
[0099] like Figure 7B As shown, the preset landscape may be an art gallery S2 in the city with unique structure.
[0100] like Figure 7C As shown, the preset landscape may be a music square, which includes a music hall and surrounding facilities S3.
[0101] like Figure 7D As shown, the preset landscape may be a plurality of tall office buildings S4 in an area of a city.
[0102] In some embodiments, the preset landscape is a dynamic landscape, and accordingly, the target location changes over time. For example, the preset landscape may be the sea level over a period of time. Since sea level changes dynamically, the preset landscape is dynamic. For each landscaping unit 121, the corresponding target location changes over time. The landscaping unit 121 can rise, fall, and rise again over time, thereby making the generated preset landscape more realistic. For another example, the preset landscape may be a bridge under different tidal conditions. During high tide, the bridge is partially submerged and partially visible. During low tide, the bridge is fully visible. For another example, the dynamic landscape may be switching between two preset landscapes. That is, the landscaping unit 121 may generate a first preset landscape from an initial state, then change from the first preset landscape to a second preset landscape, then from the second preset landscape to a third preset landscape, and so on. For example, the target location may include multiple target locations. The multiple target locations may include at least a first location and a second location. The first location is a first distance from the base frame 110, and the second location is a second distance from the base frame 110. For example, the dynamic landscape is a switch between the two preset landscapes at the above two distances.
[0103] Figure 8 A schematic diagram showing switching between two preset landscapes is shown. Figure 8 Included are five state diagrams of the landscaping unit 121 during the switching process. Figure 8 Along the arrow direction, the landscaping section 121 (O) in the initial state, the landscaping section 121 (P) in the process of generating the first preset landscape, the landscaping section 121 (Q) when the first preset landscape is completely generated, the landscaping section 121 (R) in the process of changing from the first preset landscape to the second preset landscape, and the landscaping section 121 (Y) when the second preset landscape is generated are respectively shown.
[0104] As mentioned above, the landscaping section 121 can present different heights in the landscaping direction by moving in the landscaping direction (target direction), so as to at least present the ups and downs of the preset landscape. In order to better present the preset landscape, in some embodiments, the landscaping section 121 also includes a pattern display section 121D to simulate the environmental elements of the preset landscape. The environmental elements may be the vegetation coverage in the preset landscape, or the presence of animals in the preset landscape, etc. The pattern display section 121D may be an area on the landscaping section 121 that can be observed by the user's eyes. Figure 7A As shown, the pattern display portion 121D may include the end surface 121A of the landscaping portion 121. For another example, the pattern display portion 121D may also include a side area of the landscaping portion 121.
[0105] The preset landscape is a raised high grass field in a golf course. In addition to being able to simulate the undulating terrain of the high grass field through the landscaping section 121, the landscape generation module 100 can also display the green color of the grass and the density distribution of the grass on the pattern display section 121D, so that the preset landscape is closer to the real landscape and more realistic. Among them, the pattern displayed on the pattern display section 121D can be obtained by painting or spray painting. In other embodiments, the landscaping section 121 can be an electronic display screen, such as an LED display screen. The pattern display section 121D is also an electronic display screen. By using an electronic display screen with a display function as the landscaping section 121 and the pattern display section 121D, not only can the environmental factors of the preset landscape be generated, but also different preset landscapes can be generated without replacing the landscaping section 121.
[0106] In some embodiments, the landscape generation module 100 further includes a flexible cover. The flexible cover can be covered on the landscaping portion 121, for example, on the end surface 121A of the landscaping portion 121. When each landscape generation module 100 reaches the target position, the flexible cover can be combined with the landscaping portion 121 to form a preset landscape. The flexible cover can be a cloth that can reflect the characteristics of the environment. For example, the preset landscape is a raised high grass field in a golf course. The landscaping portion 121 can simulate the terrain of the high grass field, and the flexible cover can simulate the grass on the high grass field. For example, the flexible cover can be a green cloth that is similar in color to the grass field. For another example, the flexible cover can include a fiber material that simulates the appearance and feel of grass on the high grass field, etc.
[0107] In other embodiments, users can simulate the environmental factors of a preset landscape by projecting a pattern onto the landscaping portion 121, such as the end surface 121A. Therefore, the landscaping portion 121 can be a color that is easy to project. For example, the end surface 121A of the landscaping portion 121 can be white. Users can project a green lawn onto the end surface 121A, making the generated preset landscape more similar to the lawn of a golf course, making the generated preset landscape more realistic.
[0108] Figure 9 FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of another single landscape generation module 100 provided in this specification. Figure 9 In the landscape generation module 100 shown, 16 telescopic units 120 (N=16) are arranged in a 4×4 array. Figure 9 Only a partial structure of the telescopic unit 120 is shown.
[0109] As mentioned above, the base frame 110 may include not only the first base 111 but also the second base 112, thereby forming Figure 9The two-layer structure shown. In addition, the base frame 110 also includes a support 113 to connect the first base 111 and the second base 112. There are many ways to connect the first base 111, the second base 112 and the support 113, such as one-piece molding, threaded connection, welding, bonding, snap connection, mortise and tenon connection, etc., which are not limited in this specification. The support 113 can be a support rod, a support column or a support block, etc., which are not limited in this specification. For example, Figure 9 The first base 111 and the second base 112 are rectangular, and the number of supports 113 is 4. The direction in which the supports 113 extend may be a target direction, which is denoted as the X-axis. The first base 111 and the second base 112 may be spaced apart along the X-axis.
[0110] Figure 10 FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a telescopic unit 120. Figure 10 As shown, the driving mechanism 122 may include a driving member 122A, a connecting rod 122B and a screw rod 122C. Figure 10 As shown, the screw rod 122C can be set along the target direction. The screw rod 122C includes a first end 122C1 and a second end 122C2. The first end 122C1 can be connected to the second base 112. The second end 122C2 can be connected to the first base 111. Figure 10 As shown, the first base 111 and the second base 112 may be provided with holes for threading the screw 122C. The driving member 122A may be threadedly connected to the screw 122C. Therefore, the rotation of the screw 122C can be converted into linear motion by the threads, thereby enabling the driving member 122A to move between the first base 111 and the second base 112. Using a screw drive provides a simple structure, low cost, and high positioning accuracy.
[0111] Since the driving member 122A is located between the first base 111 and the second base 112, and the landscaping portion 121 is located on the side of the second base 112 away from the first base 111, the driving mechanism 122 further includes a connecting rod 122B to connect the driving member 122A and the landscaping portion 121. Figure 10 As shown, the second base 112 includes a first hole 112A. A connecting rod 122B can slide through the first hole 112A, thereby connecting the driving member 122A and the landscaping portion 121. The connecting rod 122B can form a guide post and guide sleeve structure with the first hole 112A on the second base 112, so that the driving member 122A can not only drive the landscaping portion 121 through the connecting rod 122B, but also guide it through the first hole 112A. The shape of the first hole 112A can be adapted to the shape of the connecting rod 122B to limit the movement of the connecting rod 122B in directions other than the target direction, thereby making the movement of the landscaping portion 121 more stable.
[0112] In some embodiments, the connecting rod 122B can be connected to one end of the landscaping portion 121. In other embodiments, the connecting rod 122B can also be partially inserted into the landscaping portion 121, so that it is not easy to break and the connection with the landscaping portion 121 is more stable.
[0113] Therefore, when the drive mechanism 122 is in operation, the driving member 122A drives the connecting rod 122B to move, thereby driving the landscaping portion 121 to move. As previously mentioned, to achieve self-locking of the drive mechanism 122, the lead angle of the screw on the screw rod 122C is smaller than the friction angle of the threaded connection between the screw rod 122C and the driving member 122A.
[0114] In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 122 further includes a guide rail 122D. Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the structure of a guide rail is shown in FIG. In order to facilitate the display of the guide rail 122D, Figure 11 The connecting rod 122B is hidden in the figure. For the convenience of introduction, the guide rail 122D is named as the first guide rail 122D.
[0115] The first guide rail 122D can be arranged along the target direction. The first guide rail 122D can be slidably connected to the driving member 122A and fixedly connected to the first base 111 and the second base 112 respectively. Figure 10 The first base 111 and the second base 112 may be provided with holes for the first guide rail 122D to pass through. The first guide rail 122D can support and guide the driving member 122A to make it move linearly in a given direction (target direction) and prevent it from rotating. In some embodiments, the first guide rail 122D may include a single guide post. In other embodiments, the first guide rail 122D may include two guide posts to ensure more stable movement of the driving member 122A.
[0116] Since the landscaping part 121 is a narrow prism, when the driving member 122A drives the landscaping part 121 to move, especially when it moves to the highest point near the preset range, its top may shake because there is no restriction. Therefore, in order to improve the stability of the landscaping part 121 during movement, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism further includes a second guide rail 122E. The landscaping part 121 can move along the second guide rail 122E. Figure 11As shown, one end of the second guide rail 122E is connected to the second base 112. The second base 112 may be provided with a hole for the second guide rail 122E to pass through. The landscaping portion 121 may include a guide hole so that the second guide rail 122E is passed through the guide hole to form a guide column and guide sleeve structure. In some embodiments, the cross-section of the second guide rail 122E may be non-circular to prevent rotation, such as a U-shaped cross-section. By providing a U-shaped second guide rail 122E, the landscaping portion 121 can be better prevented from rotating, making its movement more stable. Correspondingly, the hole on the first base 111 for the second guide rail 122E to pass through is also U-shaped.
[0117] Therefore, when the driving mechanism 122 is working, the driving member 122A moves along the first guide rail 122D, driving the connecting rod 122B to move, thereby driving the landscaping part 121 to move along the second guide rail 122E. Among them, the second guide rail 122E can be a part of the first guide rail 122D that extends after passing through the second base 112. That is, the second guide rail 122E and the first guide rail 122D are one track. The second guide rail 122E can also be a different track from the first guide rail 122D, and the two are arranged at intervals on the second base 112. The length of the second guide rail 122E is equal to the length of the preset interval. The length of the first guide rail 122D is greater than or equal to the length of the second guide rail 122E, so that the landscaping part 121 can move to the two end points of the preset interval.
[0118] The drive mechanism 122 may also include a motor assembly 122F. The specific structure of the motor assembly 122F has been described above and will not be repeated here. In some embodiments, the second end 122C2 of the screw rod 122C may have a slotted portion to mate with the double-flattened output shaft of the motor in the motor assembly 122F. A bearing may also be installed at the mating position to prevent the screw rod from vibrating.
[0119] The control module 200 controls Figure 9 The method for generating the preset landscape by the landscape generation module 100 can be referred to the above description and will not be repeated here.
[0120] As mentioned above, each telescopic unit 120 may further include a limit switch, such as a first switch provided on the first base 111 . Figure 12 According to this specification Figure 10 The telescopic unit 120 is shown in a partially enlarged view at the first base 111 to illustrate the arrangement of the first switch 123. Figure 12As shown, the first switch 123 can be set on the side of the first base 111 facing the driver 122A. The first base 111 can be provided with a slot for mounting the first switch 123. When the driver 122A moves in the opposite direction of the X-axis, the height of the landscaping portion 121 decreases. When the driver 122A continues to move in the opposite direction of the X-axis until it contacts the first switch 123, that is, contacts the first base 111, the driver 122A has no room to move, and the landscaping portion 121 moves to the lowest point of the preset range. At this time, the drive mechanism 122 does not need to continue to drive the driver 122A to move, that is, it does not need to continue to drive the screw 122C to rotate. Therefore, the driver 122A touching the first switch 123 can serve as a signal to stop the drive mechanism 122 from driving the screw 122C to rotate. For example, the first switch 123 can control the motor assembly 122F to stop rotating, thereby stopping the screw 122C from rotating, saving energy.
[0121] Since the base frame 110 may include a first base 111 and a second base 112 , in some embodiments, each telescopic unit 120 may further include a second limit switch.
[0122] The second switch 123 can be disposed on the second base 112. The second switch 123 can be communicatively connected to at least one of the drive mechanism 122 or the control module 200. The second switch 123 is disposed in the movement path of the drive member 122A. When the drive member 122A moves in the target direction and contacts the second switch 123, the second switch controls the drive mechanism 122 to stop rotating the lead screw 122C, or controls the control module 200 to issue a stop command to the drive mechanism 122. Specifically, the second switch 123 can be disposed on the side of the second base 112 facing the drive member 122A. The second base 112 can be provided with a slot for mounting the second switch 123. When the drive member 122A moves in the opposite direction of the X-axis, the height of the landscaping section 121 decreases. When the drive member 122A continues to move in the opposite direction of the X-axis until it contacts the second switch 123, that is, contacts the second base 112, the drive member 122A has no further room to move, and the landscaping section 121 moves to the lowest point of the preset range. At this point, the drive mechanism 122 no longer needs to drive the drive member 122A to move, meaning it no longer needs to drive the screw 122C to rotate. Therefore, the contact of the drive member 122A with the second switch 123 can serve as a signal to stop the drive mechanism 122 from driving the screw 122C. For example, the second switch 123 can control the motor assembly 122F to stop rotating, thereby stopping the screw 122C from rotating, saving energy.
[0123] In some embodiments, each telescopic unit 120 may further include a third switch. The third switch may be located on the side of the second base 112 facing the landscaping portion 121. The third switch may be communicatively connected to at least one of the drive mechanism 122 and the control module 200. The third switch may be located along the movement path of the landscaping portion 121. When the landscaping portion 121 moves in the target direction and contacts the third switch, the third switch controls the drive mechanism 122 to stop rotating the screw rod 122C, or controls the control module 200 to issue a stop command to the drive mechanism 122.
[0124] In some embodiments, each telescopic unit 120 may include any two or three of the first switch 123 , the second switch, and the third switch.
[0125] The second switch and the third switch can both be used to control the initialization of the M landscape generation modules 100. The specific method can refer to the first switch 123, and will not be described in detail in this specification.
[0126] exist Figures 9 to 12 In the structure shown, the length of the preset interval depends on the distance between the first base 111 and the second base 112 . Therefore, in order to obtain a longer length of the preset interval, the distance between the first base 111 and the second base 112 needs to be increased. Figures 2 to 3 The length of the preset interval in the structure shown depends on the length of the screw rod 122C, because a larger length of the preset interval can be obtained by increasing the length of the screw rod 122C. Figures 9 to 12 The structure shown, Figures 2 to 3 The structure shown can be applied to a wider range of scenarios and can meet more complex preset landscape requirements.
