[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 3 An auxiliary component for a sand table model includes a base 1, with support feet 2 at each of the four corners of the base 1, and suction cups 3 at the bottom of each support foot 2. It also includes a turntable 4. The turntable 4 is positioned above the base 1 and is used to hold the sand table model. A first motor 6 drives the turntable 4 to rotate continuously. The bottom of the turntable 4 has a first rotating shaft 5 rotatably connected to it, and the bottom of the first rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The first motor 6 is directly mounted on one side of the top of the base 1. The output end of the first motor 6 has a gear 7, and the bottom of the turntable 4 has a gear ring 8 that meshes with the gear 7. The first motor 6 drives the gear 7 to rotate continuously, and the gear ring 8 meshing with the gear 7 rotates accordingly. The turntable 4 and the first rotating shaft 5 are rotatably connected, thus enabling the turntable 4 to rotate, thereby rotating the sand table model placed on the turntable 4. This allows for a 360° all-around display without the need to walk around the sand table.

[0027] Combined with appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4The system includes a fixed plate 9 and a camera 12. The fixed plate 9 is positioned above the turntable 4, and inverted L-shaped support rods 10 are provided between the four corners of the fixed plate 9 and the base 1. The camera 12 is mounted on the fixed plate 9 and rotates via a drive assembly to capture images of the sand table model on the turntable 4 from all angles. Each L-shaped support rod 10 is equipped with a display screen 20 connected to the camera 12. Multiple lighting lamps 11 are provided around the bottom of the fixed plate 9 to illuminate the sand table model for easy viewing.

[0028] The drive assembly includes a second motor 13 and a worm gear 14. The top of the fixed plate 9 has a pair of vertical plates arranged in a row. The second motor 13 is mounted on one of the vertical plates, and the worm gear 14 is rotatably mounted between the vertical plates. The drive assembly also includes a second rotating shaft 16 and a worm wheel 15. The second rotating shaft 16 is inserted into and rotatably connected to the fixed plate 9. The worm wheel 15 is located at the top of the second rotating shaft 16 and meshes with the worm gear 14. The drive assembly also includes a connecting rod 17. The connecting rod 17 is directly fixed to the bottom end of the second rotating shaft 16, and the camera 12 is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting rod 17. The second motor 13 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate continuously, and the worm wheel 15 meshing with the worm gear 14 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the second rotating shaft 16 to rotate continuously. The connecting rod 17 and the camera 12 rotate accordingly, allowing for the capture of images of the sand table model from above and transmitting the captured images to the display screen 20 in real time, providing a comprehensive understanding of the sand table content and improving the flexibility and interactivity of the display.

[0029] Combined with appendix Figure 5 The connecting rod 17 is provided with a T-shaped slider 19 at the end away from the second rotating shaft 16, and the bottom end of the fixing plate 9 is provided with a ring-shaped T-shaped groove 18 that works with the T-shaped slider 19. This can help the connecting rod 17 and the camera 12 rotate more smoothly, resulting in high overall stability.

[0030] In specific implementation of this utility model:

[0031] First, the auxiliary component can be placed directly on any table surface using the support foot 2 and suction cup 3, making it convenient to use.

[0032] Then, place the sand table model directly on the turntable 4, and start the first motor 6. The first motor 6 drives the gear 7 to rotate continuously, and the gear ring 8 that meshes with the gear 7 rotates accordingly. The turntable 4 and the first rotating shaft 5 are rotatably connected, so the turntable 4 can rotate, thereby driving the sand table model placed on the turntable 4 to rotate, which can be displayed in 360° all-round way without having to walk around the sand table.

[0033] Simultaneously, the second motor 13 is activated, driving the worm gear 14 to rotate continuously. The worm wheel 15, which meshes with the worm gear 14, rotates accordingly, thereby driving the second rotating shaft 16 to rotate continuously. The connecting rod 17 and the camera 12 rotate accordingly, and the T-shaped slider 19 slides within the T-shaped groove 18, enabling the camera 12 to move smoothly. It can capture images of the sand table model from above and transmit the data to the display screen for direct display, providing a comprehensive understanding of the sand table content and improving the flexibility and interactivity of the display.
