Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cinema equipment technology, and in particular to suspended cinema seats. Background Technology

[0002] A suspended (flying) cinema consists of motion seats and a large screen. The motion seats are positioned in mid-air, in front of the large screen, which is mostly hemispherical, so most of the passenger's vision is surrounded by the screen's image. While experiencing exciting dynamic visuals, the motion seats move freely in sync with the images, accompanied by surround sound, making passengers feel as if they are actually there. The immersive experience is very strong, giving them a feeling of flying, hence the name "suspended cinema."

[0003] Currently, various types of suspended cinemas have emerged in China. These cinemas primarily feature six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) or three-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) motion seats, each with its own drawbacks. Three-DOF motion seats suffer from the following shortcomings: while they can perform basic movements in sync with the film content, the limited range of motion due to the platform's structural constraints results in a less stimulating experience and negatively impacts the viewer's experience. Six-DOF motion seats, on the other hand, utilize multiple rotation axes and drive mechanisms, leading to a complex structure, high failure rate, low reliability, and high production costs.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to solve the problem that existing suspended cinema seats have complex structures and low viewing experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a suspended cinema seat, which has the characteristics of simple structure, high reliability and good viewing experience.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a suspended cinema seat, including a base, a dynamic platform set above the base, a drive mechanism connecting the base and the dynamic platform, a seating component rotatably connected to the dynamic platform, and a rotation mechanism for driving the seating component to rotate.

[0007] The drive mechanism includes a central column, a first motion component, and a second motion component. One end of the central column is fixed to the base, and the other end is hinged to the motion platform. The first motion component includes a first motion power element and a first swing arm. The first motion power element is mounted on the base. One end of the first swing arm is connected to the output end of the first motion power element, and the other end is hinged to the motion platform. The second motion component includes a second motion power element and a second swing arm. The second motion power element is mounted on the base. One end of the second swing arm is connected to the output end of the second motion power element, and the other end is hinged to the motion platform. The swing trajectory of the first swing arm driven by the first motion power element and the swing trajectory of the second swing arm driven by the second motion power element are set at an angle.

[0008] The rotating mechanism includes a rotating power component mounted on the motion platform, which drives the riding component to rotate relative to the motion platform via a transmission assembly.

[0009] The suspended cinema seat of this application has a base connected to a motion platform via a central column, which establishes a basic connection between the base and the motion platform and improves the reliability of the connection between the motion platform and the base. Through the cooperation of the first motion component and the second motion component, the motion platform can achieve multi-dimensional swaying movements in all directions. With the help of a rotating power component, the seating component is driven to rotate relative to the motion platform. A multi-dimensional and greater degree of freedom of motion experience can be provided through three power components. The structure is simple and reliable. Moreover, the suspended cinema seat of this application makes corresponding movements in accordance with the images played on the screen, which can make users feel as if they are there and enhance the movie viewing experience.

[0012] In some embodiments, the drive mechanism further includes a balance frame, which is disposed on opposite sides of the central column, and the two ends of the balance frame are hinged to the base and the motion platform, respectively.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a balance frame, the dynamic platform can be subjected to more uniform forces during the swaying process, making the structure more stable and reliable.

[0014] In some embodiments, the balance frame includes a first connecting frame and a second connecting frame that are hinged to each other, with the end of the first connecting frame away from the second connecting frame hinged to the base and the end of the second connecting frame away from the first connecting frame hinged to the motion platform.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a first connecting frame and a second connecting frame that are hinged to each other, a greater range of motion can be provided, thereby generating a more dynamic experience and improving the user's movie-watching experience.

[0016] In some implementations, the second connecting frame is hinged to the motion platform via a third ball joint.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission accuracy can be improved by using the meshing of the drive gear and the gear ring, and it can withstand greater impact, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the suspended cinema seat.

[0020] In some implementations, the central column is hinged to the motion platform via a first universal joint, the first swing arm is hinged to the motion platform via a second universal joint, and the second swing arm is hinged to the motion platform via a third universal joint.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the central column, the first swing arm, and the second swing arm are all hinged to the motion platform through universal joints, which can provide greater freedom of movement, thereby enabling the seat to generate greater dynamic range and improve the user experience.

[0022] In some embodiments, the first dynamic power component is a motor, and the output end of the first dynamic power component is fixedly connected to a first crank. The first crank and the first rocker arm are connected through a first ball joint.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the first crank and the first ball joint can be matched to allow the first pendulum to have a larger swing amplitude, thereby generating a stronger sense of motion and adding to the viewing experience.

[0024] In some embodiments, the second dynamic power component is a motor, and the output end of the second dynamic power component is fixedly connected to a second crank, which is connected to the second rocker arm through a second ball joint.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the second crank can be combined with the second ball joint to allow the second swing arm to have a larger swing amplitude, thereby generating a stronger sense of motion and adding to the viewing experience.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A preferred embodiment of the suspended cinema seat 100 of this utility model includes a base 10, a motion platform 20 disposed above the base 10, a drive mechanism 30 connecting the base 10 and the motion platform 20, a seating component 40 rotatably connected to the motion platform 20, and a rotation mechanism 50 driving the seating component 40 to rotate. The drive mechanism 30 includes a central column 31, a first motion component 33, and a second motion component 34. One end of the central column 31 is fixedly connected to the base 10, and the other end is hinged to the motion platform 20. The first motion component 33 includes a first motion power element 331 and a first swing arm 332.

One end of the second swing arm 342 is connected to the output end of the second motion-sensing component 341, and the other end is hinged to the motion platform 20. The swing trajectory of the first swing arm 332 driven by the first motion-sensing component 331 is set at an angle to the swing trajectory of the second swing arm 342 driven by the second motion-sensing component 341. The rotating mechanism 50 includes a rotating component 51 mounted on the motion platform 20. The rotating component 51 drives the seating component 40 to rotate relative to the motion platform 20 through the transmission assembly 52. ​​The suspended cinema seat 100 of this application has the characteristics of simple and reliable structure and good viewing experience.

[0037] Preferably, the swing trajectory of the first dynamic power component 331 driving the first swing arm 332 is perpendicular to the swing trajectory of the second dynamic power component 341 driving the second swing arm 342. This provides more dimensions of swinging motion while ensuring uniform force distribution on the dynamic platform 20.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first motion-powered component 331 is a motor, and a first crank 334 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motion-powered component 331. The first crank 334 and the first pendulum 332 are connected through a first ball joint (not shown in the figure). By cooperating with the first ball joint, the first pendulum 332 can have a larger swing amplitude, thereby generating a stronger motion and increasing the viewing experience.

[0045] Similarly, the second motion control component 341 is a motor, and a second crank 344 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motion control component 341. The second crank 344 and the second swing arm 342 are connected through a second ball joint (not shown in the figure). By cooperating with the second ball joint, the second swing arm 342 can have a larger swing amplitude, thereby producing a stronger motion and increasing the excitement of watching the movie.

[0046] Preferably, the rotary power component 51, the first dynamic power component 331 and the second dynamic power component 341 are all servo motors.

[0047] Specifically, the seating component 40 includes a seat body 41 and a connecting seat 42 fixedly connected to the seat body 41. The connecting seat 42 is fixedly connected to the gear ring 522, and a protective armrest 43 is provided on the seat body 41.

Through the cooperation of the first motion component 33 and the second motion component 34, the motion platform 20 can achieve multi-dimensional swaying movements in the up, down, forward, backward and left and right directions. With the help of the rotating power component 51, the seating component 40 is driven to rotate relative to the motion platform 20. Through three power components, a multi-dimensional and greater degree of freedom of motion experience can be provided. The structure is simple and reliable. Moreover, the suspended cinema seat 100 of this application can make corresponding movements in accordance with the images played on the screen, so that users have an immersive feeling and enhance the movie viewing experience.
