[0030] A turntable for amusement parks includes a base 1, a turntable 2 rotatably mounted on the base 1, a seat 3 on one side of the turntable 2, an annular plate 4 on the base 1, the turntable 2 disposed within the annular plate 4, an opening 5 on one side of the annular plate 4, displays 6 evenly distributed on the inner wall of the annular plate 4, a motor 7 fixedly mounted on the base 1, a drive wheel 8 and a driven wheel 9 rotatably mounted within the base 1, the output shaft end of the motor 7 fixedly mounted to the shaft end of the drive wheel 8, the shaft end of the driven wheel 9 fixedly mounted to the shaft end of the turntable 2, and a belt 10 connected to the drive wheel 8 and the driven wheel 9 for transmission.

[0031] In the amusement park turntable, the base 1 supports the entire device. When visitors are ready to play, they enter through the opening 5 on one side of the annular plate 4 and sit on the seat 3 on one side of the turntable 2. At this time, the motor 7 on the base 1 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 7 rotates, driving the drive wheel 8, which is fixedly installed thereto, to rotate. Since the drive wheel 8 and the driven wheel 9 are connected by a belt 10, the driven wheel 9 rotates synchronously under the action of the belt 10. The shaft end of the drive wheel is fixedly installed with the shaft end of the turntable 2, thereby driving the turntable 2 to rotate smoothly within the annular plate 4. At the same time, the displays 6 evenly distributed on the inner wall of the annular plate 4 start working, displaying various exciting images. Visitors sitting in the seat 3 on the rotating turntable 2 do not need to move on their own. They can experience the diverse scenes presented on different displays 6 in turn as the turntable 2 rotates, impacting the visitors' senses from all directions, giving them a sense of immersion, and greatly enhancing the fun and immersion of the amusement.

[0032] An annular plate 4 is rotatably mounted on a base 1. An external gear ring 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the annular plate 4. A second motor 12 is fixedly installed inside the base 1. A gear disk 13 is rotatably mounted on the base 1. The output shaft end of the second motor 12 is fixedly installed with the rotating shaft end of the gear disk 13. The gear disk 13 is meshed with the external gear ring 11 for transmission.

[0033] If tourists wish to further enrich their visual experience and reduce dizziness during their visit, they can activate the motor 12 fixedly installed inside the base 1. The output shaft of the motor 12 rotates, driving the gear disc 13 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Because the gear disc 13 is meshed and connected to the outer gear ring 11 fixedly installed at the bottom of the annular plate 4, the rotation of the gear disc 13 will drive the outer gear ring 11 to rotate, thereby causing the annular plate 4 and the display 6 on its inner wall to rotate around the turntable 2. In this way, the viewing angle of the display 6 relative to the tourist changes continuously, achieving a diverse display effect and bringing tourists a different experience. At the same time, it effectively reduces the dizziness and discomfort that may be caused by the rotation of the turntable 2, improving the applicability of the device.

[0034] The seat 3 is configured as a height-adjustable chair, and a handle bar 14 is fixedly installed on the seat 3;

[0035] Seat 3 is designed as a height-adjustable chair that can be adjusted according to the needs of tourists. The handle bar 14 fixedly installed on seat 3 provides tourists with additional support points, so that when the turntable 2 rotates, tourists can hold the handle bar 14 to maintain the stability of their body and reduce the discomfort caused by rotation.

[0036] A slide rail 15 is provided on the base 1. A motor 16 is fixedly installed in the slide rail 15. A lead screw 17 is rotatably installed in the slide rail 15. The output shaft end of the motor 16 is fixedly installed with the end of the lead screw 17. A movable plate 18 is slidably installed on the slide rail 15. The movable plate 18 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 17. The seat 3 is fixedly installed on the movable plate 18.

[0037] When motor 3 16 starts, lead screw 17 rotates, causing movable plate 18 to slide within slide rail 15. Seat 3 is fixedly installed on movable plate 18. Therefore, as movable plate 18 moves, the position of seat 3 also changes, allowing the position of seat 3 to be adjusted as needed, further improving the applicability and flexibility of the device.

[0038] Monitor 6 is set to a curved screen;

[0039] Display 6 is set as a curved screen, which can provide a wider field of view and a more realistic visual experience. The curvature of the curved screen matches the curvature of the human eyeball, reducing visual fatigue and improving the visual experience of tourists. As the turntable 2 rotates, the scene on the curved screen seems to envelop the tourists, enhancing the sense of immersion and realism.

[0040] A controller is installed on the seat 3, and the controller is electrically connected to the seat 3, motor 7, motor 12, and motor 16 respectively;

[0041] Setting up a controller enables automatic control of various components of the device.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] In the amusement park turntable, the base 1 supports the entire device. When visitors are ready to play, they enter through the opening 5 on one side of the annular plate 4 and sit on the seat 3 on one side of the turntable 2. At this time, the motor 7 on the base 1 is started. The output shaft of the motor 7 rotates, driving the drive wheel 8, which is fixedly installed thereto, to rotate. Since the drive wheel 8 and the driven wheel 9 are connected by a belt 10, the driven wheel 9 rotates synchronously under the action of the belt 10. The shaft end of the drive wheel is fixedly installed with the shaft end of the turntable 2, thereby driving the turntable 2 to rotate smoothly in the annular plate 4. At the same time, the displays 6 evenly distributed on the inner wall of the annular plate 4 start to work, displaying various exciting images. Visitors sitting in the seat 3 on the rotating turntable 2 do not need to move on their own. They can enjoy the diverse scenes presented on different displays 6 in turn as the turntable 2 rotates, impacting the visitors' senses from all directions, giving them a sense of immersion, and greatly enhancing the fun and immersion of the amusement.

[0044] If tourists wish to further enrich their visual experience and reduce dizziness during their visit, they can activate the motor 12 fixedly installed inside the base 1. The output shaft of the motor 12 rotates, driving the gear disk 13 fixedly connected to it to rotate. Because the gear disk 13 is meshed and connected to the outer gear ring 11 fixedly installed at the bottom of the annular plate 4, the rotation of the gear disk 13 will drive the outer gear ring 11 to rotate, thereby causing the annular plate 4 and the display 6 on its inner wall to rotate around the turntable 2. In this way, the viewing angle of the display 6 relative to the tourist changes continuously, achieving a diverse display effect and bringing tourists a different experience. At the same time, it effectively reduces the dizziness and discomfort that may be caused by the rotation of the turntable 2, improving the applicability of the device.

[0045] Seat 3 is designed as a height-adjustable chair that can be adjusted according to the needs of tourists. The handle bar 14 fixedly installed on seat 3 provides tourists with additional support points, so that when turntable 2 rotates, tourists can hold the handle bar 14 to maintain body stability and reduce discomfort caused by rotation.

[0046] When motor 3 16 starts, lead screw 17 rotates, causing movable plate 18 to slide in slide rail 15. Seat 3 is fixedly installed on movable plate 18. Therefore, as movable plate 18 moves, the position of seat 3 also changes, so that the position of seat 3 can be adjusted as needed, further improving the applicability and flexibility of the device.

[0047] Display 6 is set as a curved screen, which can provide a wider field of view and a more realistic visual experience. The curvature of the curved screen matches the curvature of the human eyeball, reducing visual fatigue and improving the visual experience of tourists. As the turntable 2 rotates, the scene on the curved screen seems to envelop the tourists, enhancing the sense of immersion and realism.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
