[0002] Electric rotating tables are typically used in situations where multiple people sit around a table. A motor drives a turntable to rotate, allowing diners to select their own dishes. However, the continuous rotation of the table can interfere with the waiters serving food. Therefore, existing rotating tables are usually controlled by manual button switches. When the waiter serves food, the turntable is manually stopped, and when the waiter finishes serving, the turntable is manually restarted. However, these manual button switches require diners to operate them by hand, which affects the continuity of the meal, reduces the dining experience, and is not very convenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a rotating dining table that can ensure the continuity of dining, improve the dining experience, and is easy to use.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A rotating dining table includes a fixed table body and a camera mounted on the ceiling. A turntable is mounted on the fixed table body, and a rotating mechanism is installed inside the fixed table body. The camera is positioned opposite the turntable. The rotating mechanism includes a fixed bracket, a spindle, a rotating bracket, a drive motor, and an angle sensor. The spindle is fixedly mounted on the fixed bracket, the rotating bracket is rotatably mounted on the spindle, the turntable is fixedly mounted on the rotating bracket, the drive motor is fixedly mounted on the spindle and drives the rotating bracket to rotate, and the angle sensor is fixedly mounted on the spindle.

[0006] The fixed table is also equipped with a control panel. The camera is connected to the control panel via a signal, and the control panel is electrically connected to the drive motor and the angle sensor.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0008] The rotating bracket includes an upper connecting plate, which is rotatably mounted on the spindle via a first bearing. A gear disk is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the upper connecting plate, and several sets of support members are fixedly mounted on the upper connecting plate. A drive gear is circumferentially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the drive gear meshes with the gear disk.

[0009] Several sets of pressing blocks are fixedly installed on the support member, and the turntable abuts and contacts the pressing blocks.

[0010] The rotating bracket also includes a lower connecting plate, which is rotatably mounted on the spindle via a second bearing, and a support member is fixedly provided between the support member and the lower connecting plate.

[0011] The angle sensor is fixedly mounted on the body of the drive motor via a connector, and the detection end of the angle sensor is positioned opposite to the support.

[0012] The fixed table includes a tabletop and a table surface. The tabletop has an accommodating space for accommodating the rotating mechanism. The table surface has a turntable mounting port communicating with the accommodating space. The control panel is located on the side wall of the tabletop.

[0014] This utility model's rotating dining table includes a fixed table body with a turntable mounted on it. A rotating mechanism for driving the turntable's rotation is located inside the fixed table body. A camera is installed on the ceiling. When the camera visually recognizes a waiter serving food, it identifies and marks the position on the turntable where a plate can be placed through image recognition. The position signal is then sent to the control panel. The control panel analyzes and processes the position signal, and through the cooperation of an angle sensor and a drive motor, rotates the turntable to the designated plate-placement position and stops it, waiting for the waiter to complete the serving process. Subsequently, the drive motor restarts the turntable for normal rotation. This replaces the existing technology that uses a manual button switch to control the turntable's start and stop, ensuring continuous dining, improving the dining experience, and offering greater ease of use.

A turntable 3 is provided on the fixed table body 1, and a rotating mechanism 4 is provided inside the fixed table body 1. The camera 2 is arranged opposite to the turntable 3. The rotating mechanism 4 includes a fixed bracket 401, a spindle 402, a rotating bracket 403, a drive motor 404, and an angle sensor 405. The spindle 402 is fixedly mounted on the fixed bracket 401, the rotating bracket 403 is rotatably mounted on the spindle 402, the turntable 3 is fixedly mounted on the rotating bracket 403, the drive motor 404 is fixedly mounted on the spindle 402 and drives the rotating bracket 403 to rotate, and the angle sensor 405 is fixedly mounted on the spindle 402. A control panel 5 is also provided on the fixed table body 1. The camera 2 is signal-connected to the control panel 5, and the control panel 5 is electrically connected to the drive motor 404 and the angle sensor 405. The rotating dining table includes a fixed table body 1, a turntable 3 mounted on the fixed table body 1, and a rotating mechanism 4 inside the fixed table body 1 to drive the turntable 3 to rotate. A camera 2 is installed on the ceiling. When the camera 2 visually recognizes a waiter serving food, the camera 2 can identify and mark the position on the turntable 3 where a plate can be placed through image recognition, and then send the position signal to the control panel 5. The control panel 5 analyzes and processes the position signal, and through the cooperation of the angle sensor 405 and the drive motor 404, rotates the turntable 3 to the position where the plate can be placed to the waiter's serving position and stops rotating to wait for the waiter to complete the serving process. Then, the drive motor 404 starts the turntable 3 to rotate normally, thus replacing the existing technology of controlling the start and stop of the turntable 3 by a manual button switch. This ensures the continuity of dining, improves the dining experience, and is easy to use.

[0025] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, preferably, the rotating bracket 403 includes an upper connecting plate 4031, which is rotatably mounted on the spindle 402 via a first bearing.
