the dynamic platform 2 is controlled to drive the passenger carrying device 3 combined with the dynamic platform 2 to do at least one of swinging, rotating and moving.

The invention will be further described with reference to the embodiments shown in fig. 1-5.

As shown in fig. 1-5, in this embodiment, the entertainment system is a viewing interactive experience entertainment system, which includes a passenger carrying device 3, upper and lower rails, a projection device, a motion platform 2 and a lifting mechanism 4.

The passenger carrying device 3 is used for carrying customers, and carrying the customers to walk along the track and watch the images projected by the projection device. As shown in fig. 5, in this embodiment, the passenger carrying device 3 no longer includes the motion platform 2, but includes a cabin structure 31, a rotation driving mechanism 32, a walking driving mechanism 33, a power supply device 34, and the like.

The cabin structure 31 is used to house the patrons and includes a cabin, seats 311, safety restraint apparatus 312, and the like. A plurality of seats 311 are arranged in the cabin body for seating a plurality of customers; the safety binding device 312 is correspondingly disposed on the seat 311 for securing the safety of the customer on the corresponding seat 311. The safety restraint device 312 may be a seat belt.

The rotation driving mechanism 32 and the travel driving mechanism 33, which serve as driving mechanisms of the passenger conveyor 3, are disposed below the cabin structure 31 for driving the cabin structure 31 to rotate about a vertical axis and to travel along a track, respectively, to realize steering and traveling (forward or backward) of the passenger conveyor 3. Specifically, the rotation drive mechanism 32 is provided between the travel drive mechanism 33 and the cabin mechanism 31; the travel drive mechanism 33 is in contact with the rail via the travel wheels.

The electricity taking device 34 is used for obtaining electric energy for the passenger carrying device 3 to charge the passenger carrying device 3, so that the passenger carrying device 3 can work conveniently. In order to more promptly realize the charging of the passenger carrying device 3, the entertainment system of this embodiment further includes a first power supply device and a second power supply device. The first power supply device is arranged on the dynamic platform 2 and used for supplying power to the passenger carrying device 3 combined with the dynamic platform 2; the second power supply device is provided on the lifting mechanism 4 for supplying power to the passenger carrying device 3 combined with the lifting mechanism 4. The first and second power supply devices may cooperate with the power-taking device 34 to realize charging of the passenger carrying device 3. Based on this setting, can accomplish the charging process to carrying passenger device 3 in motion platform 2 and elevating system 4 department, because carrying passenger device 3 need not to get back to fixed place at every turn and charge, consequently, it is more convenient, high-efficient and timely to charge.

By arranging the passenger carrying device 3, not only can the protection of customers be realized, but also the batch carrying and conveying of the customers can be realized, thereby being beneficial to accelerating the operating efficiency of the entertainment system and increasing the passenger carrying capacity of the entertainment system.

The rails serve to limit the horizontal travel trajectory of the passenger carrier 3. The two layers of rails of this embodiment are respectively a first rail 11 located at the lower layer and a second rail 12 located at the upper layer, wherein the first rail 11 is carried on the ground. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the first rail 11 is not directly laid on the ground, but is laid on a steel beam 13 fixed on the ground, so that the first rail 11 is supported on the ground through the steel beam 13, and the second rail 12 is laid on the steel beam 13 erected in the air, so that the second rail 12 is arranged above the first rail 11 in an overhead manner. By providing the steel beam 13 to bear the first rail 11 and the second rail 12, the first rail 11 and the second rail 12 can be supported more firmly and stably.

Also, as can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the first rail 11 is a straight rail, and the second rail 12 is a curved rail, and the second rail 12 has an arc-shaped rail section. The radius of the arc track section is more than or equal to 4 meters.

Although in other embodiments of the present invention, the first rail 11 and the second rail 12 may also be configured as the same linear rail, that is, both may be configured as linear rail structures or both may be configured as curved rail structures, in this embodiment, by configuring the first rail 11 and the second rail 12 as different linear rails, a customer carried in the passenger carrying device 3 can experience driving processes with different trajectories on different layers of rails conveniently, so as to enrich the diversity of driving experiences and enhance the interestingness of the driving process. Meanwhile, since the customer usually goes on and off the entertainment system through the first rail 11 located on the ground and mainly views the movie on the second rail 12, the embodiment sets the first rail 11 to be a linear type and the second rail 12 to be a curved type, which is also beneficial to quickening the flow frequency of the customer and increasing the interest of the movie viewing process. And the second track 12 is set to be an arc track section with a larger radius, so that a customer can experience centrifugal feeling in the driving process, and the experience of the customer is further enriched.

In addition, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the first rail 11 and the second rail 12 each include a main rail 1a and two branch rails, the two branch rails being respectively located at both ends of the corresponding main rail 1a, and each branch rail including a first branch 1b and a second branch 1 c. Specifically, as can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, the first branch 1b and the second branch 1c are arranged at an angle on both sides of the main track 1a, so that the main track 1a and the first branch 1a and the second branch 1b are connected to form a Y-shape; the first branch 1b of the first rail 11 and the first branch 1b of the second rail 12 are vertically disposed correspondingly, and the second branch 1c of the first rail 11 and the second branch 1c of the second rail 12 are vertically disposed correspondingly.

By providing the branch rails on the main rail 1a, customers carried in different passenger carriers 3 can enter the main rail 1a through different branches, which is advantageous for making full use of time and reducing waiting for customers, and thus, the passenger capacity of the entertainment system can be further increased.

The branch rails are arranged at the two ends of the main rail 1a, so that the branch rail at one end is convenient to enter a customer, and the branch rail at the other end is convenient to leave the customer, so that the whole playing process can be performed in a more orderly manner, and the influence on the passenger carrying capacity of the entertainment system and the entertainment experience of the customer due to the jam of the passing in and out of the guest is prevented.

In order to facilitate the entrance of different passenger carriers 3 into the main track 1a via different branches, as shown in fig. 1 to 4, the entertainment system of this embodiment further includes a lane change mechanism 6, and the lane change mechanism 6 is provided on the track for switchably communicating the main track 1a with a corresponding one of the first branch 1b and the second branch 1 c. Specifically, as can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, the lane change mechanism 6 is disposed at the connection between the branch rails at the two ends of the first rail 11 and the second rail 12 and the main rail 1 a. Each lane-changing mechanism 6 comprises a rotating member 61 and a connecting track 62 arranged on the rotating member 61, the connecting track 62 is driven by the rotating member 61 to rotate between a first position and a second position, when the connecting track 62 is located at the first position, the connecting track 62 communicates with the main track 1a and the first branch 1b, and when the connecting track 62 is located at the second position, the connecting track 1a communicates with the second branch 1 c. Based on the lane changing mechanism 6, the automatic switching of the communication relationship between the main track 1a and each branch can be conveniently realized, so that the passenger carrying device 3 can be selectively sent into the lifting mechanism 4 of a certain branch according to the busy degree of the system by matching with the lifting mechanisms 4 of each branch, the waiting time is reduced, and the passenger carrying efficiency is improved.

To facilitate the customer to get on and off the entertainment system, as shown in fig. 3, in this embodiment, a boarding and disembarking platform is further provided at the first track 11 for the customer to get on and off the first track 11, so that the customer can board or disembark from the passenger carrying device 3 located on the first track 11 via the boarding and disembarking platform.

As can be seen from fig. 3, the boarding platform of this embodiment includes a boarding platform 71 for the customer to board the first track 11 and a disembarking platform 72 for the customer to leave the first track 11. The boarding platform 71 and the disembarking platform 72 are disposed outside the main track 1a of the first track 11 at intervals, and correspond to two branch tracks located at both ends of the main track 1 a.

The boarding platform 71 and the disembarking platform 72 are used for realizing the entrance and exit of customers respectively, so that the congestion of the passenger flow caused by the entrance and exit through the same platform can be effectively avoided. And the boarding platform 71 and the disembarking platform 72 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two branch rails at the two ends of the main rail 1a, so that the customers can enter the entertainment system from one side at the beginning and leave the entertainment system from the other side at the end, and a more ordered playing experience process is realized.

The dynamic platform 2 is used for driving the passenger carrying device 3 to move according to the content of the images projected by the projection device. As shown in fig. 2-4, in this embodiment the motion platform 2 is no longer integrated in the passenger carrier 3 but is arranged on a track and can be arranged in conjunction with and separately from the passenger carrier 3. In particular, as can be seen from fig. 1 to 4, the platform 2 of this embodiment is disposed on the second rail 12 of the upper layer, while the platform 2 is not disposed on the first rail 11 located on the ground. More specifically, at least two (two or more, only 3 shown in the figure) motion platforms 2 are arranged on the main track 1a of the second track 12 at intervals, and a first screen 51 of a projection device is correspondingly arranged at each motion platform 2. Each of the dynamic platforms 2 includes a platform main body 21 and a first locking device 22, the platform main body 21 is used for bearing the passenger carrying device 3 and driving the passenger carrying device 3 to perform at least one of swinging, rotating and moving, and the first locking device 22 is used for locking the passenger carrying device 3 running on the platform main body, so that the combination of the dynamic platform 2 and the passenger carrying device 3 is realized. The platform main body 21 may include a platform body for carrying the passenger carrying device 3 and a dynamic driving mechanism; the dynamic driving mechanism is used for driving the platform body to move.

Based on the above arrangement, when the passenger carrying device 3 travels on the first track 11, the customer does not watch the image, the first track 11 only plays a role of conveying the customer, and after the passenger carrying device 3 ascends to the second track 12 and travels on the motion platform 2 of the second track 12 to be combined with the motion platform 2, the customer starts to watch the image released by the first screen 51, so that the customer can experience the aerial viewing, and in the viewing process, the customer can generate various actions consistent with the content of the image under the driving of the motion platform 2, such as one or more of upward movement, downward movement, lateral movement, inclination, rotation and the like, so as to realize the viewing process of being personally on the scene.

The lifting mechanism 4 is used for driving the passenger carrying device 3 to lift, so that the conveying of customers between different layers of tracks is realized, and the weightlessness experience of the customers in the film watching process is also realized.

Thus, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the entertainment system of this embodiment is provided with 4 lifting mechanisms 4 in total. Because a plurality of lifting mechanisms 4 can work simultaneously or serve as a standby, the whole operation efficiency of the entertainment system is favorably accelerated, and the working reliability of the lifting system is favorably improved.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, a second screen 52 of the projection device is provided at each of the lifting mechanisms 4. Each second screen 52 extends from the first rail 11 to above the second rail 12 in the height direction, and is integrally connected with two second screens 52 corresponding to two lifting mechanisms 4 located at the same branch rail. Therefore, the lifting mechanism 4 can not only realize the conveying of customers between different layers of tracks, but also drive the customers in the passenger carrying device 3 to lift at different speeds and different accelerations according to different image contents, and particularly can drive the customers to experience weightlessness in the film viewing process, thereby realizing a more vivid film viewing process.

The lifting mechanism 4 is provided to be attachable to and detachable from the passenger carrier 3. As shown in fig. 2, in order to combine and separate the lifting mechanism 4 and the passenger carrying device 3, the lifting mechanism 4 of this embodiment includes a lifting body for carrying the passenger carrying device 3 and lifting the passenger carrying device 3, and a second locking device 42 for locking the passenger carrying device 3 driven onto the lifting body to the lifting body. The passenger carrying device 3 driven onto the lifting body is locked and released through the second locking device 42, so that the lifting mechanism 4 and the passenger carrying device 3 can be combined and separated, the lifting mechanism 4 can drive the passenger carrying device 3 to move synchronously, and the passenger carrying device 3 can leave the lifting mechanism 4 conveniently.

The lifting body may include a lifting platform 41 and a lifting driving mechanism, the lifting platform 41 is used for carrying the passenger carrying device 3, and the lifting driving mechanism is used for driving the lifting platform 41 to lift. The lifting driving mechanism can be in driving connection with the lifting platform 41 through a steel wire rope.

Wherein the lifting tower 43 is used for supporting the lifting mechanism 4; the guide structure is arranged on the lifting tower 43 and used for guiding the lifting mechanism 4; the counterweight structure is used for reducing the power of the lifting driving mechanism, plays a role in environmental protection and energy conservation, and improves the operation safety of the lifting mechanism 4.

Specifically, as can be seen from fig. 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the lifting platform 43 is disposed between the first branch 1b and the second branch 1c of the same branch rail, and the two lifting mechanisms 4 located at the same branch rail are disposed on two sides of the lifting tower 43, and the guiding structures are disposed on the two sides of the lifting tower 43, and the guiding structures are used for guiding the lifting mechanisms 4 to lift smoothly. The counterweight structures are arranged corresponding to the lifting platforms 41, and each counterweight structure is connected with the corresponding lifting platform 41 and moves up and down in the direction opposite to the lifting platform 41 in the lifting process of the lifting platform 41. The counterweight structure and the lifting platform 41 can be connected through a steel wire rope. And the lifting tower 43 can also be correspondingly provided with a guide structure for guiding the counterweight structure to move up and down so as to realize the stable lifting of the counterweight structure.

Based on the above structural design, the operation of the entertainment system of this embodiment is briefly described as follows:
