[0023] Example 1

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 4This embodiment provides a support structure for a passenger vehicle in a track-mounted cinema, including a passenger platform 100. The passenger platform 100 is integrally formed from a horizontal platform 101 and a vertical platform 102. The horizontal platform 101 and the vertical platform 102 are vertical. Both the horizontal platform 101 and the vertical platform 102 have internal grooves. Several sets of drive mechanisms are arranged inside the internal grooves of the horizontal platform 101 and the vertical platform 102. A support anchor point is provided at the midpoint where the bottom of the outer wall of the horizontal platform 101 intersects with the horizontal platform 101. The support anchor point is connected to the drive structure device of the passenger vehicle through a universal joint. Passenger seats 200 are provided in two sets. The two sets of passenger seats 200 are movably connected to the top of the horizontal platform 101 and the outer surface of the vertical platform 102 of the passenger platform 100, respectively. A connecting block 201 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the passenger seat 200. The connecting block 201 is connected to the drive mechanism inside the horizontal platform 101.

[0025] The outer wall of the passenger seat 200 is equipped with a guardrail 202; the function of the guardrail 202 is to secure the moviegoers before watching the movie to prevent them from falling off the passenger seat 200.

[0026] Both the transverse platform 101 and the longitudinal platform 102 have several sets of sliding grooves 103 through their outer walls. The connecting block 201 passes through the sliding groove 103 and is connected to the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the connecting block 201 to move, thereby driving the passenger chair 200 to move along the direction of the sliding groove 103.

[0027] It should be noted that since the two sets of passenger seats 200 are connected to the horizontal platform 101 and the vertical platform 102 respectively, the connecting block 201 is fixedly connected according to the location of the connecting part of the passenger seat 200 on the outer wall of the passenger seat 200. When the passenger seat 200 is connected at the horizontal platform 101, the connecting block 201 is set at the bottom of the passenger seat 200, and the passenger seat 200 moves laterally. When the passenger seat 200 is connected at the vertical platform 102, the connecting block 201 is set at the rear of the passenger seat 200, and the passenger seat 200 moves longitudinally.

[0028] The drive mechanism includes a servo motor and a lead screw 104. A screw hole 201a is provided through the outer wall of the connecting block 201, and the lead screw 104 is connected to the connecting block 201 through the screw hole 201a. The servo motor drives the lead screw 104 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting block 201 to move the passenger chair 200 along the opening direction of its corresponding slide 103. The movement of the passenger chair 200 changes the distance between it and the support anchor point, thereby adjusting the swaying amplitude of the passenger chair 200 during the game.

[0029] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes, but is not limited to: motor drive, hydraulic, pneumatic, or cable traction type.
