[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a rotating spherical sunroom, including a circular guide rail 1, sunroom enclosure panels 2, and a rotating shaft assembly 3. The bottom of the sunroom enclosure panel 2 is slidably fitted onto the circular guide rail 1 via pulleys, while the top is fitted onto the rotating shaft assembly 3. Specifically, the sunroom enclosure panel 2 has two sets, inner and outer, which can overlap. The two sets of sunroom enclosure panels 2, when closed relative to each other, form the main body of the sunroom. The two sets of sunroom enclosure panels 2 have the same structure and each occupies 1 / 2 of the area of ​​the main body of the sunroom, i.e., 180°. Therefore, a single set of sunroom enclosure panels 2 can stand upright on its own. In addition, the circular guide rail 1 includes inner and outer annular tracks 11 and 12, with the inner sunroom enclosure panel 2 fitting onto the inner annular track 11. The outer sunroom enclosure 2 is fitted onto the outer annular track 12. Meanwhile, the top of the inner sunroom enclosure 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft assembly 3, while the top of the outer sunroom enclosure 2 is rotatably fitted to the rotating shaft assembly 3; alternatively, the top of the inner sunroom enclosure 2 is rotatably fitted to the rotating shaft assembly 3, while the top of the outer sunroom enclosure 2 is fixedly connected to the central axis. Thus, by setting inner and outer annular tracks 11 and 12, and with the inner and outer sunroom enclosure 2 correspondingly slidingly fitted onto the inner and outer annular tracks 11 and 12, the two sets of sunroom enclosure 2 can rotate 360° around the central axis, thereby enabling the door to be opened at any position, meeting the user's requirement to adjust the orientation of the sunroom according to actual needs, and improving flexibility.

[0027] Furthermore, the rotating shaft assembly 3 includes a central rotating shaft 31, a fixed connector 32, and a rotating connector 33. The fixed connector 32 is fixedly mounted on the central rotating shaft 31, while the rotating connector 33 is movably mounted on the central rotating shaft 31. Specifically, a guide block 311 and a connecting block 312 are provided on the outer wall of the central rotating shaft 31. The guide block 311 and the connecting block 312 surround the central rotating shaft 31, and the guide block 311 is located above or below the connecting block 312. In this embodiment, the guide block 311 is preferably located above the connecting block 312. It should be noted that the guide block 311 and the connecting block 312 are... Block 312 is fixed to the central rotating shaft 31 by welding. In addition, the fixed connector 32 is fixed to the connecting block 312 by bolts. The rotating connector 33 is slidably fitted on the guide block 311. At the same time, the top of the outer sunroom enclosure 2 is connected to the rotating connector 33, while the top of the inner sunroom enclosure 2 is connected to the fixed connector 32. When the inner sunroom moves along the outer ring track 12, the fixed connector 32 can drive the central rotating shaft 31 to rotate, while the outer sunroom enclosure 2 drives the rotating connector 33 to rotate around the central axis.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixed connector 32 and the rotating connector 33 have the same structure, both being ring-shaped structures. Specifically, they are formed by stretching profiles. The cross-section of the profile includes a fixing part 320 on the inner side and a connecting part 321 on the outer side. The fixed connector 32 is fixed to the connecting block 312 through the fixing part 320 and fixedly connected to the inner sunroom enclosure 2 through the connecting part 321. The rotating connector 33 cooperates with the guide block 311 through the fixing part 320 and is fixedly connected to the sunroom enclosure 2 through the connecting part 321. Specifically, bolts are passed through the connecting block 312 and tightened onto the fixing part 320 of the fixed connector 32, and bolts are passed through the top edge of the sunroom enclosure 2 and tightened onto the connecting part 321 of the fixed connector 32 or the rotating connector 33.

[0029] Furthermore, the fixed connector 32 and the rotating connector 33 are spaced apart. To prevent foreign objects from falling into them, slots 322 are provided at the top and bottom of the connecting part 321. A sealing strip 35 is fitted into the slots 322. In addition, the two slots 322 at the top and bottom of the connecting part 321 are staggered. This way, the two slots 322 between the fixed connector 32 and the rotating connector 33 are also staggered, so that the sealing strip 35 can be fitted into the two slots 322 respectively, achieving double sealing and improving the sealing effect. On the fixed connector 32, a baffle 36 is also provided in the slot 322 at the bottom of the connecting part 321. The baffle 36 covers the connecting block 312 and improves the aesthetics.

[0030] Furthermore, the central rotating shaft 31 is a hollow structure, and a support rod 313 is provided inside the central rotating shaft 31. The end of the support rod 313 abuts against the inner wall of the central rotating shaft 31 to form support. A cover plate 314 is also provided on the top of the central rotating shaft 31. The diameter of the cover plate 314 is larger than that of the central rotating shaft 31. Thus, after the cover plate 314 covers the top opening of the central rotating shaft 31, its edge forms an upper retaining edge structure 315. It should be noted that the cover plate 314 is fixed to the top of the central rotating shaft 31 by welding. In addition, a lower retaining edge structure 316 extends outward from the bottom edge of the central rotating shaft 31. The upper retaining edge structure 315 and the lower retaining edge structure 316 cover the fixed connecting member 32 and the rotating connecting member 33 from the top and bottom.

[0031] Furthermore, a decorative element 317 is provided on the top of the cover plate 314. When the central shaft 31 rotates, the decorative element 317 rotates synchronously through the cover plate 314, thereby enhancing the aesthetics and decorative effect.

[0032] Furthermore, since the lower port of the central rotating shaft 31 is not covered, a fan 34 can be installed at the lower port. The fan 34 is customized to fit the inner diameter of the central rotating shaft 31. The fan 34 includes a motor body 341, a mounting bracket 342, and a blower head 343. The motor body 341 extends into the interior of the central rotating shaft 31. The mounting bracket 342 is fixed on the lower baffle structure 316. The blower head 343 blows air downwards. In addition, the fan 34 is powered by an external wire, which is connected to the motor body 341 from the top of the sunroom body.

[0033] The above description in this specification is merely an illustrative example of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described or adopt similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, they shall all fall within the protection scope of this invention.
