As shown in FIGS. 1 to 13:
in one aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a viewing apparatus comprising:
a foundation 1; and
at least two circular track subassembly 2, respectively fixed the setting in ground 1, and every circular track subassembly 2 includes:
the lower end of the annular body 21 is fixedly arranged on the foundation 1 and is of a circular ring body structure;
a rail 22 laid on the outer circumferential surface of the annular ring structure of the annular body 21;
a plurality of capsules 23 movably disposed at a set pitch on the track 22; and
a capsule drive mechanism 24 configured to drive a plurality of capsules 23 at the same speed around the track 22.
The circular track assembly 2 consisting of the above-mentioned circular body 21, track 22 and a plurality of gondolas 23 forms the core structure for the passenger to see: the annular body 21 in a circular ring structure is used as a supporting structure of the track 22, and the trend of the track 22 is limited; a rail 22 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the ring mechanism of the ring body 21, for guiding the plurality of capsules 23 so as not to obstruct the view of passengers; the plurality of cabins 23 arranged at equal intervals on the track 22 provide a safe accommodation space for passengers and provide good viewing experience for passengers.
Unlike the ferris wheel in the general sense, the wheel body rotatable relative to the rotation axis does not exist in the present disclosure, and therefore the multiple cabins 23 in the present disclosure cannot be driven by the rotatable wheel body to make a circular motion, and in order to enable passengers to experience a viewing experience brought by different heights, the multiple cabins 23 in the present disclosure use the cabin driving mechanism 24 as a power source to drive the multiple cabins 23 to move along the track 22 at the same interval, so that the multiple cabins 23 make a circular motion around the central axis of the annular body 21 by using the outer circumferential surface of the annular body 21 as a moving track.
Further, the present disclosure includes at least two circular track assemblies 2 fixedly disposed on the foundation 1, so that when the at least two circular track assemblies 2 respectively operate, passengers of a plurality of cabins 23 located in different circular track assemblies 2 can not only view landscapes outside the cabins in the cabins 23, but also can view each other, and thus, the viewing experience is increased.
Since the circular track assemblies 2 are independently arranged on the foundation 1 and the respective annular bodies 21 do not rotate relative to the foundation 1, the circular motion of the plurality of cabins 23 is realized by the motion of the plurality of cabins 23 along the track 22, so that the plurality of circular track assemblies 2 do not interfere with each other.
Based on this, the circular track assemblies 2 in the present application can be provided in plurality according to the requirement, for example, two circular track assemblies 2 are provided with an included angle of 90 ° between the bottom surfaces of the circular ring structures of the circular ring bodies 21, and three circular track assemblies 2 are provided with an included angle of 60 °. That is, in some embodiments, the bottom surfaces of the ring structures of the ring bodies 21 are perpendicular to the plane of the foundation 1, and the planes of the bottom surfaces of the ring structures of at least two ring bodies 21 are at a predetermined angle with each other.
Wherein, the bottom surface of the ring body structure of the ring body 21 is perpendicular to the plane of the foundation 1, which can improve the structural reliability of the ring body 21 and reduce the complexity of the fixed connection structure between the ring body 21 and the foundation 1, thereby improving the safety of the viewing device provided by the present disclosure.

And the bottom surface of the ring body structure of the reinforcing ring 3 is parallel to the plane of the foundation 1, and the bottom surface of the ring body structure of the ring body 21 is perpendicular to the plane of the foundation 1, so that the main structure of the viewing device formed by the reinforcing ring 3 and the ring body 21 is in a hollow spherical structure, and new visual experience is brought to passengers.
In order to more firmly fix the hollowed-out spherical structure of the viewing device to the foundation 1, in some embodiments, the viewing device further comprises: a plurality of ring body holders 4 configured as a set of two supports the ring body 21 from both bottom surfaces of the ring body structure of the ring body 21 to the foundation 1.
On the basis that the bottom surface of the ring body structure of the ring body 21 is vertical to the plane of the foundation 1, the ring body support 4 supports the ring body 21 from two sides of the ring body structure of the ring body 21, so that the ring body 21 can be prevented from inclining to one side or even overturning, and the safety of personnel and structures is ensured.

As a result of the circular movement of the plurality of gondolas 23 with respect to the outside of the annular track assembly 2, there may be mutual interference between the gondolas 23 of different annular track assemblies 2. Therefore, in some embodiments, the two circular track assemblies 2 are fixedly connected to each other, the diameters of the circular bodies 21 in the two circular track assemblies 2 are the same, and the circular body 21 located on the outer side in the crossing region of the two circular tracks 22 is provided with a groove 211 for passing through the multiple cabins 23 located on the outer peripheral surface of the circular body 21 located on the inner side.

It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that when the number of the guide rail 221 and the wheel sets 231 is larger than two, further increasing the number of the guide rail 221 and the wheel sets 231 corresponding thereto may also increase the stability of the cabin 23.
