Rotary Dynamic Simulation Device Space Optimization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional amusement facilities using Stewart platforms require significant space due to the need to shift and suspend gondolas horizontally, limiting floor space and convenience for multiple users.
Innovation Solution
A rotary dynamic simulation device with a motion mechanism and rotation mechanism, featuring a fixed table, carrying seat, and telescopic rods, which rotates between an entering and a watch position on a rack, reducing vertical space usage and allowing for multiple users while maintaining a realistic experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the gondola is suspended at a certain height to provide an exciting experience, then the viewing experience is improved, but the device takes up more floor space and requires complex horizontal shifting mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from horizontal movement to vertical movement by rotating the carrying seat vertically between a first position (ground level for loading) and a second position (suspended height for viewing). This dimensional change allows the gondola to achieve suspension without requiring horizontal shifting space, resolving the contradiction between viewing experience and floor space occupation
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying seat is designed to be dynamically repositionable between two vertical positions rather than remaining fixed. The rotation mechanism enables the seat to move between ground level (for easy access) and suspended height (for viewing experience), providing both convenience and excitement without requiring large horizontal space
2Ease of operation
If the carrying seat is placed on the ground for convenience and safety, then ease of operation is improved, but the device requires more horizontal space for positioning
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of moving the carrying seat horizontally to position it for viewing, the patent rotates it vertically. This allows the seat to remain accessible at ground level while achieving the suspended viewing position through vertical rotation, eliminating the need for horizontal positioning space
Solution Approach 2:
The carrying seat serves multiple functions: it provides easy access at ground level for loading passengers and then rotates to provide suspended viewing experience. This multi-functionality allows both convenience and excitement to be achieved without requiring separate horizontal spaces for each function
3Productivity
If the Stewart platform is used for multiple persons, then productivity is improved, but the device takes up more floor space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent arranges multiple carrying seats in a vertical configuration rather than spreading them horizontally. By rotating seats vertically between loading and viewing positions, the system can accommodate multiple users without proportionally increasing floor space occupation
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple carrying seats are combined in a single rotational system sharing common support structures and control mechanisms. This merging allows the system to serve multiple users while using space efficiently, as all seats share the same vertical rotation mechanism and support framework

AI summary
In a rotary dynamic simulation device and an audiovisual apparatus using the same, the rotary dynamic simulation device includes a fixed table (1), a motion mechanism (4), a carrying seat (3), and a rotation mechanism (4). The motion mechanism (2) having multiple degrees of freedom is disposed between the fixed table (1) and the carrying seat (3). The rotation mechanism (4) is disposed on the rack (5) to drive the fixed table (1) to rotate, so that the carrying seat (3) is rotatable between an entering position and a watch position of the rack (5).
