[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0030] Please refer to the above. Figures 1-5 A high-safety VR dance machine includes a VR dance machine body 1, a dance mat 2, and a VR head-mounted device. The dance mat 2 is surrounded by a mounting frame 3. Two sets of protective frames 4 are symmetrically hinged on the mounting frame 3. The two sets of protective frames 4 are U-shaped and wrap around the outside of the mounting frame 3. Each set of protective frames 4 has a first electric push rod 5 at its bottom end. The two ends of the first electric push rod 5 are respectively hinged to the side wall of the mounting frame 3 and the bottom end of the protective frame 4. Each protective frame 4 has a mounting groove 6 on both sides. A protective rod 7 is rotatably hinged in the mounting groove 6. A second electric push rod 8 is installed in the mounting groove 6 below the protective rod 7. The two ends of the second electric push rod 8 are respectively hinged to the inner wall of the mounting groove 6 and the bottom end of the protective rod 7.

[0031] In this utility model, the mounting bracket 3, the protective bracket 4, and the protective rod 7 all include a rigid support part 9 and a surface flexible protective part 10. The rigid support part 9 is used to support the components, and the surface flexible protective part 10 is used to reduce the collision impact when the rigid support part 9 comes into contact with personnel, thereby improving the safety protection effect.

[0032] The flexible protective part 10 includes a cushioning pad 11, which is attached to the surface of the rigid support part 9. The surface of the cushioning pad 11 is provided with a protective decorative surface layer 12. The cushioning pad 11 is preferably a rubber pad or silicone pad with good impact protection. In this way, when the dancer accidentally falls on the surface of the protective frame 4 or the protective bar 7, hard impact can be effectively avoided, reducing the pain of the person and improving the protection effect. The setting of the protective decorative surface layer 12 can increase the overall aesthetics and make the overall aesthetics more harmonious.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-5As one embodiment of the mounting bracket 3: a shielding edge 13 is provided on the outer side of the mounting bracket 3. The shielding edge 13 is located at the bottom end of the protective bracket 4 and on the outer side of the first electric push rod 5, which shields the first electric push rod 5, improves the overall aesthetics, and at the same time prevents the first electric push rod 5 from being exposed, thus improving the protection of the first electric push rod 5.

[0034] Furthermore, in this utility model, the shielding edge 13 includes a connecting section 14 and a shielding section 15. The connecting section 14 is horizontally arranged at the bottom end of the mounting frame 3, and the shielding section 15 is vertically arranged on the outside of the connecting section 14 and cooperates with the protective frame 4. The connection between the connecting section 14 and the mounting frame 3 is realized through the connecting section 14. The shielding section 15 is used to shield components such as the first electric push rod 5, improve the overall aesthetics, and at the same time, it can support the protective frame 4.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-5 As one implementation of the connecting section 14: the connecting section 14 is provided with a fixing hole 16, which is used to install fixing nails and other fasteners, thereby achieving a stable connection between the mounting frame 3 and the ground and improving the overall stability of use.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-5 As one embodiment of the protective frame 4: the protective frame 4 is provided with an overlapping edge 17 on one side of the mounting frame 3 and the protective rod 7 is provided with an mounting groove 6. The mounting frame 3 and the mounting groove 6 are provided with a limiting edge 18, wherein the overlapping edge 17 is located outside the limiting edge 18. In this way, a stable connection can be achieved between the protective frame 4 and the mounting frame 3 and between the protective rod 7 and the mounting groove 6. At the same time, it can be ensured that the protective frame 4 and the protective rod 7 can be smoothly pushed out during use.

[0037] Please see Figures 1-5 As one implementation of the mounting bracket 3: the mounting bracket 3 is provided with a receiving groove 19, wherein the receiving groove 19 can be used for placement when connecting external lines, so as to avoid damage to external related lines caused by the installation of the mounting bracket 3.

[0038] The complete working principle and steps of the above embodiments are as follows:

[0039] When in use, this utility model can extend by controlling the first electric push rod 5 to push the protective frame 4 to flip upward on the mounting frame 3, thereby forming a protective zone between the two protective frames 4. In this way, when the player falls, he can quickly grab the protective frame 4 to avoid being thrown off the dance mat or colliding with the VR dance machine body 1 and getting injured, thus improving safety.

[0040] At the same time, it can create a game area to prevent pedestrians in the mall from wandering in, while VR dance machine games have large movements that could cause collisions;

[0041] While the protective frame 4 unfolds outward, the second electric push rod 8 can be controlled to extend, driving the protective rod 7 to flip outward to the mounting slot 6. Preferably, the protective rod 7 is in a horizontal state after it is fully extended. The lengths of the protective rod 7 and the mounting slot 6 can be flexibly selected according to the site requirements. Preferably, the two sets of protective rods 7 are close to each other after they are fully extended. This can serve as a further auxiliary measure for the protective frame 4, achieving safety protection of the inclined end face of the protective frame 4, improving the overall support for VR dance machine players in case of accidental falls, and further preventing VR dance machine players from being injured by accidental falls.

[0042] This utility model uses a protective frame 4 and a protective rod 7 together. At the same time, when not in use, the protective frame 4 can be flexibly stored on both sides of the mounting frame 3, and the protective rod 7 can be stored in the mounting groove 6 on the protective frame 4. This is more suitable for the safety protection of VR dance machines in places with limited space, such as shopping malls. Preferably, when the mounting frame 3, the protective frame 4 and the protective rod 7 are fully stored, they are at the same height as the dance mat. This will not affect the walking of pedestrians, reduce the space occupied, and make it flexible to use.

[0043] As a second embodiment of this utility model:

[0044] Most existing head-mounted VR devices are equipped with accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc., to monitor head movements in real time. For example, the Meta Quest Pro has a built-in 6DoF IMU, which can link the signals it collects with the drive of the first electric push rod and the second electric push rod in this utility model. For example, the trigger threshold can be set to activate protection when the tilt angle is >60°.

[0045] With the dual design of an expandable U-shaped protective frame and a horizontal protective bar, an active safety protection system is constructed. When a player is about to fall due to VR dizziness or loss of control, the first electric push rod can quickly push the protective frame from the retracted state to an inclined angle (such as 60°) in a short time to form a physical barrier.

[0046] At the same time, the second electric push rod drives the guard rod to extend horizontally, covering the gap between the guard frame and the ground, thus forming dynamic protection;

[0047] In this way, compared with the first type of protection method where the protective frame is unfolded during the game, the protection flexibility can be improved and the feeling of restriction during the game can be reduced. The program setting for linking the signals collected by the accelerometer, gyroscope, etc. with the drive linkage of the first electric push rod and the second electric push rod in this utility model can be realized by existing related programs. The relevant information is known to the public and should be known by those skilled in the art. This utility model will not elaborate on this.

[0048] The flexible cushioning pad can reduce the impact of a collision and prevent secondary injuries. In addition, the height of the protective frame is adjustable to flexibly adapt to players of different heights and achieve personalized protection.

[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
