Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ancient building display, and in particular to a device for displaying miniature landscapes of simulated ancient buildings. Background Technology

[0002] Ancient buildings have a long history and glorious achievements. However, many ancient buildings are facing damage due to their age or natural and human factors. By simulating miniature landscapes of ancient buildings, the form, structure, decoration and other details of ancient buildings can be presented in a reduced scale, allowing people to understand the culture of ancient buildings more intuitively and helping to inherit and promote excellent traditional culture.

[0003] Traditional miniature landscapes of ancient buildings are displayed in the form of sand tables. However, the overall structure of the sand table is very large. For some intricate structures, such as door and window carvings and tile arrangements, it is difficult for tourists to see clearly. In order to see the details, tourists will bend down and get close to the sand table, or even touch the model, which will cause damage to building components or contamination of the sand table, thus increasing maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a display device for miniature landscapes of simulated ancient buildings, which solves the technical problems of low integration between traditional bracelets and modern technology, and the inability to provide users with health monitoring and convenient life services.

[0005] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A display device for a miniature landscape of simulated ancient buildings includes a glass dome and a sand table base nested together, forming an enclosed space. A simulated ancient building complex is set on top of the sand table base. Multiple moving mechanisms are set on the peripheral sidewalls of the sand table base. Each moving mechanism is equipped with an optical magnification tool, which is used to move the optical magnification tool horizontally or vertically along the peripheral sidewalls of the glass dome to achieve magnified viewing of the simulated ancient building complex.

[0007] Furthermore, multiple sliding tracks are provided on the periphery of the sand table base. These tracks are on the same horizontal plane. Each track contains multiple moving mechanisms. Each moving mechanism includes a rod-shaped member that is vertically arranged close to the glass cover. The bottom end of each rod-shaped member is slidably connected to the track. A movable groove is provided along the length of each rod-shaped member. The movable groove is slidably connected to the corresponding optical magnification tool.

[0008] Furthermore, a slider is provided at the bottom end of each of the rod-shaped members, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail.

[0009] Furthermore, the slider adopts a circular structure, and the cross-section of the slide is C-shaped. Its cavity fits with the slider, and the inner sides of the upper and lower sidewalls at its opening are provided with grooves. The grooves are in the same direction as the slide, and their interiors fit with the positioning blocks set on the slider, and the two are slidably connected.

[0010] Furthermore, four positioning blocks, each square in shape, are evenly spaced on the side surface around the connection between the slider and the rod-shaped member, and these positioning blocks are 90 degrees apart from each other.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is provided at the center of the side where the slider connects to the rod-shaped member. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the rod-shaped member, and positioning holes are provided on it corresponding to the vertical and horizontal positions of the rod-shaped member.

[0012] The locking pin passes through the rod-shaped component and is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole of the connecting shaft, thereby enabling the switching between the storage state and the use state of the rod-shaped component and the optical magnification tool.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting spring is provided inside the movable groove. One end of the connecting spring is connected to the top of the movable groove, and the other end is connected to a movable limiting block. The movable limiting block slides with the movable groove, and an optical magnification tool is connected to it.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the rod-shaped members is provided with a handle.

[0015] Furthermore, a support base is provided on the bottom surface of the sand table base, multiple handrails are provided on the outer side of its peripheral sidewalls, and an installation groove that mates with the glass cover is provided on the top of its peripheral sidewalls.

[0016] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. When using the display device of this utility model, by holding the handle and rotating the rod-shaped part, it can be rotated from a horizontal storage state to a vertical use state. By sliding the handle left and right, the optical magnification tool can be moved left and right in the slide. By pulling the optical magnification tool up and down, the optical magnification tool can be moved up and down along the glass cover, thereby ensuring that the details of the simulated ancient building complex can be viewed through the magnification function of the magnifying glass. Through non-contact magnification, the direct contact between tourists and the sand table is reduced, which not only protects the integrity of the miniature landscape, but also reduces the risk of human damage. The setting of multiple moving mechanisms is convenient for multiple visitors to use, and solves the problem that tourists crowding and getting close to the sand table to view the details can easily damage the sand table.

[0018] 2. The support base prevents water and dust from entering the bottom of the sand table base. Inside the sand table base is a simulated ancient building complex. This simulated ancient building complex is a miniature landscape. The installation of the glass cover can prevent the glass cover from falling during the visit and can also protect the simulated ancient building complex from damage. Visitors can use the handrails to maintain their body stability and also maintain a certain distance from the simulated ancient building complex, which has a protective function.

[0019] 3. By installing a connecting spring inside the movable slot, the optical magnifying tool can be elastically pushed to one end of the movable slot when not in use, and placed uniformly for easy storage.

[0020] 4. A cleverly designed groove is incorporated inside the slide. The groove, in conjunction with the positioning block on the slider, ensures that the circular slider moves smoothly within the slide without rotating relative to it. The locking pin, inserted into the positioning hole, enables rotational locking and unlocking of the moving mechanism. This ensures that the slider can move the optical magnifying tool horizontally along the slide while allowing the rod-shaped component to rotate relative to the slide, thus enabling the movement and storage of the optical magnifying tool. This design enhances practicality and broadens the range of applications. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides a display device for a miniature landscape of simulated ancient architecture, including a glass cover 1 and a sand table base 2 nested vertically, forming a closed space between them. A simulated ancient building complex 3 is set on top of the sand table base 2. Multiple moving mechanisms 4 are set on the peripheral sidewalls of the sand table base 1, and each moving mechanism 4 is equipped with an optical magnifying tool 5, which is used to move the optical magnifying tool 5 horizontally or vertically along the peripheral sidewalls of the glass cover 1 to achieve magnified viewing of the simulated ancient building complex 3. In this way, the glass cover 1 can enclose the simulated ancient building complex 3, which can prevent dust and dirt, and avoid damage to the simulated ancient building complex 3 that may be caused by crowds viewing it. At the same time, the moving mechanisms 4 can move the optical magnifying tool 5, such as a magnifying glass, up and down and left and right along the glass cover 2, so that the simulated ancient building complex inside can be magnified through the glass cover 2, making it easier to observe structural details and improving the viewing experience.

[0030] Specifically as follows:

[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, multiple slides 21 are opened on the periphery of the sand table base 2. They are on the same horizontal plane. For example, in a square sand table base, each of the four side walls has a slide along the horizontal direction. Each slide is equipped with multiple moving mechanisms 4. Each moving mechanism 4 includes a rod-shaped member 41 that is close to the glass cover 1 and is vertically arranged. A movable groove 42 is opened along the length of each rod-shaped member 41. The movable groove 42 is slidably connected to the corresponding optical magnification tool 5. The bottom end of each rod-shaped member 41 is slidably connected to the slide 21. A slider 43 can be set at the bottom end of the rod-shaped member 41. The slider 43 cooperates with the slide 21 to facilitate the sliding connection between the two.

[0032] To ensure smooth movement of the slider 43 within the slide rail 21, the slider 43 can be circular to reduce the contact area and friction. The slide rail 21 has a C-shaped cross-section, with its cavity fitting the slider 43. Slots 47 are formed on the inner sides of the upper and lower sidewalls at the opening, and these slots 47 are aligned with the opening direction of the slide rail 21. These slots 47 engage with positioning blocks 431 on the slider 43, forming a sliding connection. Specifically, multiple square positioning blocks 431, such as four, are evenly spaced on the slider's side around the connection point between the slider 43 and the rod-shaped member 41, spaced 90 degrees apart. This ensures smooth movement of the slider 43 within the slide rail 21 while preventing it from rotating freely within the slide rail 21.

[0033] When the optical magnifying tool 5 is needed, the user can manually move the optical magnifying tool 5 up and down along the movable groove 42, that is, up and down along the glass cover 1, to view the detailed structure of the simulated ancient building complex in the vertical plane. By manually moving the rod-shaped piece along the slide, the user can view the detailed structure of the simulated ancient building complex in the vertical plane at different positions, thus enabling a comprehensive view of the simulated ancient building complex to a certain extent.

[0034] Meanwhile, a connecting spring 44 can be installed inside the movable slot 42. One end of the connecting spring 44 is connected to the top of the movable slot 42, and the other end is connected to the movable limiting block 45. The movable limiting block 45 slides with the movable slot 42 and is connected to the optical magnifying tool 5. The optical magnifying tool 5 is set perpendicular to the movable slot 42. In this way, the elastic force of the connecting spring 44 will pull the optical magnifying tool 5. On the one hand, it can prevent the optical magnifying tool 5 from colliding with the inner walls of both ends of the movable slot 42 when it is in use. On the other hand, the connecting spring 44 can make the optical magnifying tool 5 elastically pushed to one end of the movable slot 42 when it is not in use, so that it can be neatly placed and convenient for storage.

[0035] In addition, to facilitate the movement of the rod-shaped member 41, we have provided a handle 46 on each rod-shaped member 41.

[0036] Considering that the vertically arranged rod-shaped component 41 may affect the overall aesthetics of the ancient building complex 3, we have added a storage function. When the optical magnifying tool 5, such as a magnifying glass, is not needed, the entire moving mechanism, including the optical magnifying tool 5, can be stored away. Therefore, the rod-shaped component 41 of this utility model can also rotate 90 degrees relative to the slide rail for storage. At this time, the optical magnifying tool 5 can also be stored away, which can reduce the possibility of damage and help extend its service life.

[0037] We can set the number and length of the rods 41 according to the length of the slide 21, so that the rods 41 can rotate 90 degrees without interference. In this way, when the optical magnifying tool 5 is not used, the rods 41 can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise to make them parallel to the slide 21, and the optical magnifying tool 5 is in the storage state. When the optical magnifying tool 5 is needed, the rods 41 can be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise to make them perpendicular to the slide 21, and the optical magnifying tool 5 is in the use state. You can refer to the above method to view the simulated ancient building complex from all angles.

[0038] To enable the rod-shaped component 41 to rotate relative to the slide rail 21, a connecting shaft 432 is provided in the center of the side where the slider connects to the rod-shaped component. The connecting shaft 432 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the rod-shaped component 41. A notch for the connecting shaft 432 can be provided at the bottom end of the rod-shaped component 41, allowing the two to rotate relative to each other without easily falling off. Furthermore, positioning holes 433 are provided on the connecting shaft 432 at both the vertical and horizontal positions corresponding to the rod-shaped component, and similarly, positioning holes 433 are also provided at the positions corresponding to the notch. Two or four pairs of positioning holes can be provided. Then, a locking pin is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 433 of the connecting shaft 432 through the rod-shaped component 41, thereby achieving the switching between the storage state and the use state of the rod-shaped component 41 and the optical magnification tool 5.

[0039] When the optical magnifying tool is needed, the rod-shaped component is in a vertical position. Inserting the locking pin into the corresponding positioning hole of the connecting shaft and the rod-shaped component at this time will lock the rod-shaped component and the optical magnifying tool in the use state. When the optical magnifying tool is not needed, remove the locking pin, hold the handle, and rotate the rod-shaped component and the optical magnifying tool until the rod-shaped component is parallel to the slide rail, reaching a 90-degree position, i.e., in the horizontal direction. Then insert the locking pin into the corresponding positioning hole of the connecting shaft and the rod-shaped component at this time to lock the rod-shaped component and the optical magnifying tool in the storage state.

[0040] We have installed a support base 6 on the bottom surface of the sand table base 2 so that the sand table base 2 does not directly contact the ground, which can prevent water and dust from entering the bottom of the sand table base 2. At the top of the sand table base 2, there is a simulated ancient building complex 3. The simulated ancient building complex 3 is a miniature landscape. The top of its surrounding side walls has an installation groove that matches the glass cover 1. By inserting the glass cover 1 into the installation groove, the installation of the glass cover 1 is completed. This can prevent the glass cover 1 from falling during the visit and can protect the simulated ancient building complex 3 from damage.

[0041] Multiple handrails 22 are provided on the outer side of the perimeter wall of the sand table base 2. These handrails 22 can be set below the slide 21. Visitors can use the handrails 22 to maintain their body stability while visiting, and also to maintain a certain distance between visitors and the simulated ancient building complex, thus protecting the simulated ancient building complex.

[0042] When viewing the display device of this utility model, the sand table base is supported by the support base so that the sand table base does not directly contact the ground, which can prevent water and dust from entering the bottom of the sand table base. The top of the sand table base is equipped with a simulated ancient building complex 3. The simulated ancient building complex 3 is a miniature landscape. With the help of the installed glass cover 1, the simulated ancient building complex 3 is in a closed space, which can protect the simulated ancient building complex during the visit and prevent it from being damaged.

[0043] Visitors can use the handrails to maintain stability and keep a safe distance from the simulated ancient buildings. To use the device, remove the locking pin and rotate the rod-shaped component along with the optical magnifying tool to a vertical position by holding the handle. This changes the device from a horizontal storage state to a vertical use state. Then, insert the locking pin into the corresponding positioning hole to lock the device in use. Locking in storage mode is similar. By sliding the handle left and right, the optical magnifying tool can be moved left and right within the slide. By pulling the optical magnifying tool up and down, visitors can view the details of the simulated ancient buildings through its magnification function. The multiple movable storage mechanisms are designed for the convenience of multiple visitors.

[0044] In addition, the connecting spring is installed between the movable limit block and the inner top surface of the movable slot. Its elasticity will pull the optical magnifying tool, which on the one hand can prevent the optical magnifying tool from colliding with the inner walls of both ends of the movable slot when it is in use. On the other hand, the connecting spring can make the optical magnifying tool elastically pushed to one end of the movable slot when it is not in use, so that it can be neatly placed. The connecting spring can make the optical magnifying tool elastically pushed to one end of the movable slot when it is not in use, which is convenient for storage.

[0045] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples. Various changes or modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
