TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to sand table field, specifically, especially, it is three -dimensional sand table. BACKGROUND

[0002] Traditional sand table as one of the main forms of physical model display, although in the past few decades for the building, geography, military and other fields provided intuitive and effective display tool, but with the development of science and technology and people's aesthetic improvement, its inherent limitations gradually appear, mainly in visual monotony, more static sand table real scene as the main form of performance, lack of dynamic effect, long time shows the same content easily causes visual fatigue, is difficult to stimulate sustained interest. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0003] Therefore, the utility model provides a three -dimensional sand table can realize light linkage, through the accurate control and coordinated illumination technology, provides the viewer with the visual enjoyment that has never been seen before, realizes the focus display of specific sand table area, lets the audience can more intuitively appreciate the unique charm of each scene.

[0004] The utility model discloses a three -dimensional sand table, including the mutual close of multiple sand table real scene, the multiple lifting platform of carrying multiple sand table real scene respectively, the multiple lifting power unit of respectively driving multiple lifting platform lifting, and the base of carrying multiple lifting power unit, the side of multiple lifting platform installs LED lamp.

[0005] This three -dimensional sand table can realize light linkage, through the accurate control and coordinated illumination technology, provides the viewer with the visual enjoyment that has never been seen before, realizes the focus display of specific sand table area, lets the audience can more intuitively appreciate the unique charm of each scene.

[0006] The sand table is composed of multiple independent but closely connected small real scenes, which can be vertically moved through the respective lifting platforms, breaking the limitations of traditional plane static display and increasing the spatial level. Each lifting platform is equipped with an independent power unit, which can adjust the height. Combined with advanced sensing technology and preset program, the system can automatically identify the sand table to be highlighted and respond quickly. If a sand table needs to be focused, the corresponding lifting platform will slowly descend. The LED light strip embedded on the side of each lifting platform enhances the display effect. When a sand table real scene becomes the focus, the adjacent lifting platform LED light projects soft and eye-catching light, directly illuminating the sand table real scene, highlighting the main exhibits and enhancing the level and depth of the overall picture through contrast, greatly improving the viewing experience.

[0007] The sand table is composed of multiple independent but closely connected small real scenes, which can be vertically moved through the respective lifting platforms, breaking the limitations of traditional plane static display and increasing the spatial level. Each lifting platform is equipped with an independent power unit, which can adjust the height. Combined with advanced sensing technology and preset program, the system can automatically identify the sand table to be highlighted and respond quickly. If a sand table needs to be focused, the corresponding lifting platform will slowly descend. The LED light strip embedded on the side of each lifting platform enhances the display effect. When a sand table real scene becomes the focus, the adjacent lifting platform LED light projects soft and eye-catching light, directly illuminating the sand table real scene, highlighting the main exhibits and enhancing the level and depth of the overall picture through contrast, greatly improving the viewing experience.

[0008] Preferably, the side of the lifting platform is excavated with a groove, the highest point of the groove is lower than the upper surface of the lifting platform, and the LED lamp is installed in the groove.

[0009] The LED lamp is not simply attached to the side of the lifting platform, but is ingeniously hidden in the groove, and the highest point of the groove is designed to be lower than the upper surface of the lifting platform, ensuring that the light source is almost invisible when the lifting platform is not lowered. This design not only avoids the interference of the lamp itself from a visual perspective, but also further improves the neatness and beauty of the entire sand table, allowing the audience to focus on the details of the sand table itself during the appreciation process, without being disturbed by any external factors, achieving a pure artistic presentation effect. The design of the groove is not just a simple physical hiding, but more importantly, it scientifically guides the light propagation path. Since the LED lamp is located inside a relatively closed space, the emitted light can more concentratedly illuminate the sand table area that needs to be highlighted, forming a clear lighting effect, effectively avoiding energy waste caused by light scattering, and also reducing the brightness of the background area, further enhancing the visual impact of the focal area.

[0010] Preferably, the groove surrounds the side of the lifting platform.

[0011] The design of the annular lamp groove can effectively focus attention on a specific sand table area. When a lifting platform is lowered to display a specific scene, the surrounding LED lamp forms an obvious boundary, like a stage spotlight, instantly attracting all eyes. This strong contrast effect not only enhances the recognition of the focal content, but also helps the audience quickly lock onto the point of interest by moderately shielding the surrounding environment, deepening their understanding and memory of the core information. This feature is particularly crucial in complex and diverse large-scale sand table display situations, helping to quickly navigate and avoid confusion.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting platform is lowered to a height lower than the highest point of the LED lamp of the adjacent lifting platform under the drive of the lifting power unit.

[0013] When explaining a part of the sand table scene, the lifting platform can be slightly lowered so that its upper surface is lower than the highest point of the LED lamp of the adjacent lifting platform, making the sand table scene form a similar dramatic stage-like depth illusion, forming a clear contrast with the surrounding environment and naturally guiding the audience's gaze to focus on it. When the light of the adjacent LED lamp shines down, the interweaving of light and shadow forms a series of delicate pictures, highlighting the features of the central part and ingeniously using the surrounding environment as a backdrop to further enhance the sense of location of the visual center.

[0014] Preferably, the outermost side of the upper surface of the lifting platform is flush with the outermost side of the LED lamp.

[0015] The uppermost outer side of the upper surface of the lifting platform is flush with the outermost side of the LED light, so that the entire sand table presents a very harmonious visual effect, whether it is rising or falling, and there is no obvious discontinuity between the edge of the lifting platform and the LED light, providing a smooth visual experience for the audience, reducing any possible visual obstacles, and improving the overall aesthetic and professional quality. Under this design, when a sand table scene becomes the focus, the lifting platform slowly descends, and the LED light around it is illuminated at the same time. The close combination of the two ensures that the light beam is precisely focused on the target area, creating a perfect light and shadow space.

[0016] Preferably, the lifting platform is provided with a smoke generator and a smoke pipeline connected to the smoke generator, and the smoke outlet of the smoke pipeline is located on the side of the lifting platform.

[0017] When the smoke is slowly released from the smoke outlet on the side of the lifting platform, it is light and diffused in the air, and it shines with the LED light, adding a touch of mystery and vitality to the originally static sand table model. The integration of this element breaks the boundaries of traditional static display, making the entire sand table scene like a living being, unpredictable and changing, making people feel as if they are in the real world, and providing a full range of visual and auditory experiences. Whether it is to reproduce the smoke-filled battlefield, or to depict the morning mist surrounding the mountains and lakes, or to depict the hazy beauty of the city night scene, the smoke effect can create a suitable atmosphere according to different themes, and lead the audience's heart to the details. The presence of the smoke generator provides a rich narrative means for the sand table.

[0018] Preferably, the height of the smoke outlet is higher than the height of the LED light.

[0019] The smoke outlet is set at a height higher than the LED light, and intersects with the LED light below, forming a series of light bands as light as gauze, which not only increases the sense of depth of the picture, but also injects a touch of life into the static sand table model, making it fresh. This design skillfully uses the human visual habit to naturally guide the audience's gaze to every corner of the sand table, enhancing the observer's ability to capture details and depth of perception.

[0020] Preferably, the smoke pipeline is buried inside the lifting platform.

[0021] The pipeline is hidden inside the lifting platform, effectively avoiding the impact of additional structures on the appearance, making the overall lines of the sand table more simple and smooth, focusing on displaying the core content itself, and providing the audience with a pure visual experience without interference.

[0022] Preferably, the smoke generator is linked to the external commentary audio through a communication module, and the lifting power unit is linked to the external commentary audio through a communication module.

[0023] Through the communication module, the smoke generator and the lifting power unit receive instructions from the external commentary audio, realize data interaction, and bring personalized and high-quality audio-visual enjoyment to the audience.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the three-dimensional sand table of the utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0025] The three-dimensional sand table can realize light and shadow linkage, provides unprecedented visual enjoyment for the viewer through precise control and coordinated lighting technology, realizes focused display of a specific sand table area, and enables the viewer to more intuitively appreciate the unique charm of each scene.

[0026] The sand table is composed of multiple small-scale real scenes which are independent but closely connected, and the real scenes can be vertically moved through respective lifting platforms, breaking the limitations of traditional plane static display and increasing the spatial level. Each lifting platform is equipped with an independent power unit and can adjust the height. Combined with advanced sensing technology and preset programs, the system can automatically identify the sand table to be highlighted at present and quickly respond. If a sand table needs to be focused, the corresponding lifting platform will slowly descend, and the LED light belt embedded on the side of each lifting platform is used to enhance the display effect. When a sand table real scene becomes the focus, the adjacent lifting platform LED light projects soft and eye-catching light, directly illuminating the sand table real scene, highlighting the main exhibits, and enhancing the level and depth of the overall picture through light and shade contrast, greatly improving the viewing experience.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0034] The technical solutions in this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] This embodiment provides a three-dimensional sand table, including multiple sand table scenes close together, multiple lifting platforms 100 that support the multiple sand table scenes, multiple lifting power units 200 that drive the multiple lifting platforms 100 to rise and fall, and a base 300 that supports the multiple lifting power units 200. LED lights 400 are installed on the sides of the multiple lifting platforms 100.

[0036] This 3D sand table can achieve light and shadow linkage. Through precise control and coordination of lighting technology, it provides viewers with an unprecedented visual experience, enabling focused display of specific areas of the sand table and allowing the audience to more intuitively appreciate the unique charm of each scene.

[0037] The sand table is composed of multiple small-scale real scenes which are independent but closely connected. These real scenes can be vertically moved by respective lifting platforms 100, breaking the limitations of traditional static display and increasing the spatial level. Each lifting platform 100 is equipped with an independent power unit and can be adjusted in height. Combined with advanced sensing technology and preset programs, the system can automatically identify the sand table to be highlighted and respond quickly. If a certain sand table needs to be focused, the corresponding lifting platform 100 will slowly descend, and the LED light 400 band embedded on the side of each lifting platform 100 will be used to enhance the display effect. When a certain sand table scene becomes the focus, the adjacent lifting platform 100 LED light 400 projects soft and eye-catching light, directly illuminating the sand table scene. Not only does it highlight the main exhibits, but also enhances the level and depth of the overall picture through contrast, greatly improving the viewing experience.

[0038] In this embodiment, the side of the lifting platform 100 is excavated with a groove 110, and the highest point of the groove 110 is lower than the upper surface of the lifting platform 100. The LED light 400 is installed in the groove 110.

[0039] The LED light 400 is not simply attached to the side of the lifting platform 100, but is ingeniously hidden in the groove 110, and the highest point of the groove 110 is designed to be lower than the upper surface of the lifting platform 100, ensuring that the light source is almost invisible when the lifting platform 100 is not lowered. This design not only avoids the interference of the lamp itself from a visual perspective, but also further improves the cleanliness and aesthetics of the overall sand table, allowing the audience to focus on the details of the sand table itself during the appreciation process without being disturbed by any external factors, achieving a pure artistic presentation effect. The design of the groove 110 is not just a simple physical hiding, but more importantly, it scientifically guides the light propagation path. Since the LED light 400 is located inside a relatively closed space, the emitted light can more concentratedly illuminate the sand table area that needs to be highlighted, forming a clear lighting effect, effectively avoiding energy waste caused by light scattering, and also reducing the brightness of the background area, further strengthening the visual impact of the focal area.

[0040] In this embodiment, the groove 110 surrounds the side of the lifting platform 100.

[0041] The design of the ring-shaped light slot can effectively focus attention on a specific sand table area. When a lifting platform 100 is lowered to display a specific scene, the surrounding LED lights 400 form an obvious boundary, like a stage spotlight, instantly attracting all eyes. This strong contrast effect not only enhances the recognition of the focal content, but also helps the viewer quickly lock onto the point of interest and deepen their understanding and memory of the core information, especially in complex and diverse large sand table display situations. This feature is particularly crucial for quick navigation and avoiding confusion.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lifting platform 100 is lowered to a height below the highest point of the LED lights 400 of the adjacent lifting platform 100 under the drive of the lifting power unit 200.

[0043] When explaining a part of the sand table scene, the lifting platform 100 can be slightly lowered to a height below the highest point of the LED lights 400 of the adjacent lifting platform 100, so that the sand table scene forms a similar dramatic stage-like depth illusion, forming a clear contrast with the surrounding environment, and naturally guiding the viewer's gaze to focus on it. When the light of the adjacent LED lights 400 shines down, the interweaving of light and shadow forms a series of delicate pictures, highlighting the features of the central part and cleverly using the surrounding environment as a backdrop to further enhance the sense of location of the visual center.

[0044] In this embodiment, the outermost side of the upper surface of the lifting platform 100 is flush with the outermost side of the LED lights 400.

[0045] The outermost side of the upper surface of the lifting platform 100 is flush with the outermost side of the LED lights 400, so that the entire sand table presents a very coordinated and consistent visual effect, whether it is rising or falling, there is no obvious discontinuity between the edge of the lifting platform 100 and the LED lights 400, providing a smooth viewing experience for the audience, reducing any possible visual obstacles, and improving the overall aesthetic and professional quality. In this design, when a sand table scene becomes the focus, the lifting platform 100 slowly descends, and the LED lights 400 surrounding its side are illuminated, and the close combination of the two ensures that the light beam is accurately focused on the target area, creating a perfect light and shadow space.

[0046] In this embodiment, the lifting platform 100 is provided with a smoke generator 500 and a smoke duct 510 connected to the smoke generator 500, and the smoke outlet 511 of the smoke duct 510 is located on the side of the lifting platform 100.

[0047] When the smoke is released from the smoke outlet 511 on the side of the lifting platform 100, it is light and diffused in the air, and it is highlighted with the light of the LED lamp 400, adding a touch of mystery and vitality to the originally static sand table model. The integration of this element breaks the boundaries of the traditional static display, making the entire sand table scene like a living being, unpredictable and changing, making people feel as if they are in the real world, and the visual and auditory senses are shocked in all directions. Whether it is to reproduce the smoke of the ancient battlefield, or to depict the morning mist surrounding the mountains and rivers, or the hazy beauty of the city night scene with flashing lights, the smoke effect can create a suitable atmosphere according to different themes, and lead the audience's mood into it, and deeply feel every detail. The existence of the smoke generator 500 provides rich narrative means for the sand table.

[0048] In this embodiment, the height of the smoke outlet 511 is higher than the height of the LED lamp 400.

[0049] The smoke outlet 511 is arranged at a height higher than the height of the LED lamp 400, and intersects with the light of the LED lamp 400 below, forming a light belt as light as gauze, which not only increases the sense of depth of the picture, but also injects a touch of life into the static sand table model, making it fresh. This design skillfully uses the visual habits of people to naturally guide the audience's gaze to every corner of the sand table, enhancing the observer's ability to capture details and perception depth.

[0050] In this embodiment, the smoke pipe 510 is buried inside the lifting platform 100.

[0051] The pipe is hidden inside the lifting platform 100, effectively avoiding the impact of the additional structure on the appearance, making the overall line of the sand table more simple and smooth, focusing on displaying the core content itself, and providing the audience with pure visual enjoyment without interference.

[0052] In this embodiment, the smoke generator 500 is linked with the external commentary audio through the communication module, and the lifting power unit 200 is linked with the external commentary audio through the communication module.

[0053] Through the communication module, the smoke generator 500 and the lifting power unit 200 receive instructions from the external commentary audio, realize data interaction, and bring personalized and high-quality visual and auditory enjoyment to the audience.

[0054] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the present application, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
