Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cinema equipment technology, and in particular to a track-mounted cinema seat. Background Technology

[0002] Motion cinema evolved from traditional 3D cinema. Compared to other types of cinemas and the more realistic visual experience offered by 3D cinemas, motion cinema combines the movie plot with a dynamic platform to provide viewers with a more immersive viewing experience.

[0003] Current motion seats primarily achieve their motion sensing capabilities by using power components to drive the seat's left-right and forward-backward swaying, in conjunction with vibrators to create vibrations. This method of motion control results in rather stiff movements and limited freedom of motion. Consequently, when watching movies, viewers cannot achieve a better sensory experience by following the movie's action, which inevitably impacts the viewing experience of 3D films. Furthermore, current motion theater seats, in an effort to improve the user experience, incorporate multiple power components to collaboratively drive the seat's forward-backward and left-right swaying, making the structure increasingly complex. This leads to cumbersome installation and high costs associated with the installation and maintenance of motion theater seats.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to solve the problems of poor user experience and complex structure of existing cinema seats. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a track cinema seat with simple structure and good viewing experience.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a track cinema seat, including a guide rail, a slide table and a base, the slide table is slidably connected to the guide rail, a sliding power component is installed on the slide table to drive the slide table to slide back and forth along the guide rail, a seat assembly is provided on the base, and the slide table and the base are connected by a swing mechanism.

[0007] The rocking mechanism includes a left-right rocking component and a front-back rocking component. The left-right rocking component includes a first rocking power component and a first rocker arm. The first rocking power component is mounted on a slide table. One end of the first rocker arm is connected to the output end of the first rocking power component, and the other end is hinged to the base. The first rocking power component drives the base to rock left and right in a direction perpendicular to the sliding of the slide table. The front-back rocking component includes a second rocking power component and a second rocker arm. The second rocking power component is mounted on the slide table. One end of the second rocker arm is connected to the output end of the second rocking power component, and the other end is hinged to the base. The second rocking power component drives the base to rock back and forth in a direction parallel to the sliding of the slide table.

[0008] The track-mounted cinema seat of this application achieves forward, backward, left, and right swaying through the cooperation of a first and a second swaying power component. The first swaying power component drives a first rocker arm to swing, thereby driving the base to swing left and right. The second swaying power component drives a second rocker arm to swing, thereby driving the base to swing forward and backward. Furthermore, a sliding power component drives the base to slide along a guide rail. Through this simple structure, the seat can enhance the freedom of motion and increase the amplitude of the swaying motion. When used with either a panoramic projection or a dome projection screen for viewing, combined with the film's plot, it can provide viewers with an immersive viewing experience, enhancing the overall movie-watching experience.

[0009] In some implementations, a central column is connected between the slide and the base, with one end of the central column fixed to the slide and the other end hinged to the base.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a central column, the number of connection points between the slide and the base can be increased, improving the reliability of the seat during the rocking process and making the seat safer.

[0011] In some implementations, the center column and the base are connected by a first universal joint.

[0012] The above technical solution allows for greater freedom in the base's swing.

[0013] In some implementations, the first rocker arm is connected to the base via a second universal joint, and the second rocker arm is connected to the base via a third universal joint.

[0014] The above technical solution allows for greater freedom in the base's swing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the back-and-forth rocking assembly further includes a balance frame and a rocker frame. The balance frame and the second rocker are respectively disposed at both ends of the slide. The balance frame is pivotally connected to the slide. One end of the rocker frame is pivotally connected to the balance frame, and the other end is hinged to the base.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up a balance frame and a swing frame, the force can be more evenly distributed when the base swings back and forth, thus improving the user's riding experience.

[0017] In some implementations, the sliding power element drives the slide to reciprocate along the guide rail via a transmission assembly.

[0018] In some embodiments, the sliding power component is a motor, and the transmission assembly consists of a driving sprocket, a driven sprocket, and a chain. The driving sprocket is connected to the output end of the sliding power component, and a guide wheel that cooperates with the guide rail is provided at the bottom of the slide table. The driven sprocket is connected to the guide wheel, and the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket are connected by a chain.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission is more efficient and reliable through the cooperation of sprockets and chains.

[0020] In some embodiments, the first rocking power component is a motor, the output end of the first rocking power component is limited and connected to a first eccentric component, and the end of the first rocker arm away from the base is rotatably connected to the first eccentric component.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the left and right swing amplitude of the first rocker arm can be increased by setting the first eccentric component, thereby enabling the seat assembly mounted on the base to have a greater swing amplitude and degree of freedom.

[0022] In some embodiments, the second rocking power component is a motor, the output end of the second rocking power component is limited and connected to a second eccentric component, and the end of the second rocker arm away from the base is rotatably connected to the second eccentric component.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the amplitude of the back-and-forth swing of the second rocker arm can be increased by setting a second eccentric component, thereby enabling the seat assembly mounted on the base to have a greater swing amplitude and degree of freedom.

[0024] In some embodiments, the seat assembly includes at least one row of seat bodies with corresponding armrests provided in front of the seat bodies.

[0025] Using the above technical solution, armrests can make the movie-watching experience safer, as the seats will sway, move forward and backward during the movie. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4A preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a track-mounted cinema seat 100, comprising a guide rail 10, a slide 20, and a base 30. The slide 20 is slidably connected to the guide rail 10, and a sliding power component 21 is mounted on the slide 20 to drive the slide 20 to reciprocate along the guide rail 10. A seat assembly 40 is disposed on the base 30. The slide 20 and the base 30 are connected by a rocking mechanism 50. The rocking mechanism 50 includes a left-right rocking component 51 and a front-back rocking component 52. The left-right rocking component 51 includes a first rocking power component 511 and a first rocker arm 512. The first rocking power component 511 is mounted on the slide 20. On the upper part, one end of the first rocker arm 512 is connected to the output end of the first rocking power component 511, and the other end is hinged to the base 30. The first rocking power component 511 drives the base 30 to rock left and right in a direction perpendicular to the sliding table 20. The front and back rocking assembly 52 includes a second rocking power component 521 and a second rocker arm 522. The second rocking power component 521 is mounted on the sliding table 20. One end of the second rocker arm 522 is connected to the output end of the second rocking power component 521, and the other end is hinged to the base 30. The second rocking power component 521 drives the base 30 to rock back and forth in a direction parallel to the sliding table 20.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a central column 22 connects the slide 20 and the base 30. One end of the central column 22 is fixed to the slide 20, and the other end is hinged to the base 30. By setting the central column 22, the connection points between the slide 20 and the base 30 can be increased, improving the reliability of the seat during the rocking process and making the seat safer.

[0036] Furthermore, the central column 22 is connected to the base 30 via the first universal joint 23, allowing the base 30 to swing with greater freedom.

[0037] In one embodiment, the first rocker arm 512 is connected to the base 30 via a second universal joint 513, and the second rocker arm 522 is connected to the base 30 via a third universal joint 523. The universal joints allow the base 30 to swing with greater freedom.

[0038] In one embodiment, to maintain relative balance during the back-and-forth rocking and forward / backward movement of the base 30, the back-and-forth rocking assembly 52 further includes a balance frame 525 and a rocker frame 526. The balance frame 525 and the second rocker arm 522 are respectively disposed at both ends of the slide 20. The balance frame 525 is pivotally connected to the slide 20, and one end of the rocker frame 526 is pivotally connected to the balance frame 525, while the other end is hinged to the base 30. By setting the balance frame 525 and the rocker frame 526, the force on the base 30 can be more evenly distributed during back-and-forth rocking, improving the user's riding experience.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the sliding power component 21 drives the slide table 20 to slide back and forth along the guide rail 10 through the transmission component 24.

[0040] Optionally, the sliding power component 21 is a motor, and the transmission assembly 24 consists of a driving sprocket 241, a driven sprocket 242, and a chain. The driving sprocket 241 is connected to the output end of the sliding power component 21. The bottom of the slide table 20 is provided with a guide wheel 25 that mates with the guide rail 10. The driven sprocket 242 is connected to the guide wheel 25, and the driving sprocket 241 and the driven sprocket 242 are connected by a chain. The transmission through the cooperation of the sprocket and the chain is more efficient and reliable.

[0041] Furthermore, guide wheels 25 are respectively located at the four corners of the slide table 20. In order to make the two guide wheels 25 rotate synchronously, the two guide wheels 25 are connected by a synchronous shaft, and the driven sprocket 242 is installed on the synchronous shaft.

[0042] In other embodiments, the sliding power member 21 may also be one of an electric actuator, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder.

[0043] Optionally, when the sliding power component 21 is a motor, the transmission component 24 can be one of the following: a gear and rack, a lead screw and nut, a belt and pulley, or a synchronous pulley and belt.

[0044] In one embodiment, the first rocking power component 511 is a motor, and the output end of the first rocking power component 511 is limitedly connected to a first eccentric component 514. The end of the first rocker arm 512 away from the base 30 is rotatably connected to the first eccentric component 514. By setting the first eccentric component 514, the left and right swing amplitude of the first rocker arm 512 can be increased, thereby giving the seat assembly 40 mounted on the base 30 a greater swing amplitude and degree of freedom.

[0045] Similarly, the second rocking power component 521 is a motor, and the output end of the second rocking power component 521 is limitedly connected to the second eccentric component 524. The end of the second rocker arm 522 away from the base 30 is rotatably connected to the second eccentric component 524. By setting the second eccentric component 524, the amplitude of the back-and-forth swing of the second rocker arm 522 can be increased, thereby giving the seat assembly 40 mounted on the base 30 a greater swing amplitude and degree of freedom.

[0046] To improve the control precision of the swing motion, both the first swing power component 511 and the second swing power component 521 are servo motors, and a controller (not shown) is also included to control the coordinated movement of the swing mechanism 50, the sliding power component 21, and the cinema playback content.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the seat assembly 40 includes at least one row of seat bodies 41, with corresponding armrests 42 located in front of each seat body 41. Since the seats may sway, move forward or backward during movie viewing, the armrests 42 provide added safety.

[0048] To prevent seats from obstructing the view and affecting the viewing experience, the height of the seats closest to the screen is lower than that of the seats behind it.

[0049] The track-mounted cinema seat 100 of this application achieves forward, backward, left, and right swinging through the cooperation of a first swinging power component 511 and a second swinging power component 521. The first swinging power component 511 drives the first rocker arm 512 to swing, thereby driving the base 30 to swing left and right. The second swinging power component 521 drives the second rocker arm 522 to swing, thereby driving the base 30 to swing forward and backward. Furthermore, the sliding power component 21 drives the base 30 to slide along the guide rail 10. Through this simple structure, the freedom of motion and the amplitude of the swinging motion can be improved. When used with either a panoramic projection or a dome projection screen for watching movies, combined with the plot of the film, it can give viewers an immersive viewing experience and enhance the overall movie-watching experience.

[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
