Description

The invention relates to a multimedia seat arrangement, for a spectator area of a entertainment device, in particular for a 4D cinema, as specified in claim 1.

From CN203253180U a multimedia seat arrangement is known which comprises an effect seat. In the effect seat a seat surface vibration unit is arranged, through which the seat of the effect seat is vibratable. Furthermore, the effect seat comprises an elastic air hose, which is arranged in the foot region of the seat and is designed to strike against the calves of a user. In the right armrest of the effect seat, an effect head is installed, which includes a water nozzle and an air nozzle. In addition, a stun gun is installed in the right armrest to deliver an electrical shock. The left-hand armrest incorporates a special effects control unit equipped with an LCD touch monitor that allows user input. In addition, a handle in the form of a standing pipe section is arranged on both the left and on the right armrest.

The design of a multimedia seat described in CN203253180U has the disadvantage that the special effects on the user lead to inadequate entertainment pleasure.

The present invention has for its object to provide an improved multimedia seating arrangement to offer the user a better and more intense entertainment pleasure can.

This object of the invention is achieved by the measures according to claim 1.

According to the invention, a multimedia seat arrangement is designed for a spectator area of a entertainment device, in particular for a 4D cinema. The multimedia seat assembly comprises at least one effect seat, and at least two effect armrests, which are respectively arranged on the left and right of the effect seat. In each of the effect armrests, an effect module is arranged with a flow housing, through which in a main flow channel from the effect armrest out an air flow in the face of a user is feasible.

The construction according to the invention has the advantage that the air flows, which are led out of the left and right of the user arranged armrests, can act symmetrically on the face of a user. Thus, the user can be given a much improved and more intense entertainment pleasure, since the simulated by the bilateral air flow currents are much more realistic than would be possible with a single-sided air flow.

Furthermore, it may be expedient that in the flow housing of the effect modules at least one secondary flow channel is formed, which is provided for the transport of a fragrance. An advantage of this design is that a perfume can be delivered by the effect module in addition to an air flow through the bypass duct. In particular, both the airflow and the fragrance can be transported from an effect armrest of an effect seat in a 4D cinema to the user. This leads to a completely new entertainment experience, which is unknown to a user in this way. Especially when the fragrance flows out of an effect module integrated into the effect armrest, the fragrance can be transported to the user quickly and in sync with a entertainment demonstration such as a movie.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the at least one secondary flow channel opens into the main flow channel so that a perfume transported in the secondary flow channel can be mixed with the air guided through the main flow channel and transported to the user by the air flow. The advantage here is that the perfume can be transported by the air flow in the main flow channel. Thus it can be achieved that the perfume can be directed specifically to the user. In addition, can be achieved by this measure that the perfume very well, timed with the entertainment program, can arrive at the olfactory organ of the user and, if necessary, can be blown away from this again by means of the air flow.

In addition, it can be provided that in the effect module at least one compressed air channel is designed to deliver a blast of compressed air. By such a blast of compressed air, the entire entertainment experience of the user can be significantly increased. In particular, a blast of compressed air in conjunction with a uniform laminar flow directed through the main flow channel can lead to a totally unexpected experience.

Also advantageous is an expression according to which at least one water nozzle for dispensing a jet of water can be arranged in the effect module. The advantage here is that the entire entertainment experience of the user can be significantly increased or intensified by such a water jet. In particular, a jet of water in conjunction with a uniform, laminar flow directed through the main flow channel can lead to a totally unexpected experience. Furthermore, in the case of atomization of the water jet, the air flow can be used as a means of transport for the individual drops of water, whereby new effects, such as misting can be simulated.

According to a development, it is possible that the effect module is formed symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry which is arranged normal to a visible surface of the effect module, so that the effects that can be generated in an effect module act on two effect seats arranged next to each other. The advantage here is that thereby the effects of the effect module can act both on a left side and on a right side of the effect module sitting user. Thus, using as few of the effect modules as possible, the largest possible number of users can benefit from the effects. Furthermore, the effect modules can be performed uniformly, whereby the production of the effect modules can be made advantageous. A particularly good entertainment experience can be achieved when the user has two effect modules, with one of the effect modules on the left side and one of the effect modules on the right side of the user integrated in the effect armrest. If several effect seats are arranged next to one another, a minimal number of modules can be used here in the case of a symmetrical design of the effect modules.

Furthermore, it may be expedient if, depending on the effect armrest, a fan is arranged, through which the air flow guided through the main flow channel of the flow housing can be generated. The advantage here is that it can be achieved by connecting to a fan, that the guided through the main flow channel volume flow is continuously variable. In addition, by means of a fan, which is arranged in the effect armrest, the required air flow can be generated directly at the place where it is needed. Thus, the flow losses can be kept low, whereby an energy-efficient operation of the multimedia seat assembly can be achieved.

In addition, it can be provided that per multimedia seat arrangement, a fragrance generator is arranged, which comprises at least one fragrance storage, each fragrance memory is stored a fragrance, which fragrance is, if necessary, transportable to the effect module and deliverable to this. The advantage here is that the fragrance does not have to be moved through a pipe system in the cinema, but that it can be generated directly on the multimedia seat arrangement and retrieved. Thus, the fragrance can be generated directly in the place where it is needed. As a result, it can be achieved that the fragrance can be transported to the user promptly and synchronously with a entertainment presentation. In addition, the fragrance does not lose its intensity due to the short transport routes.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the effect module comprises a light-emitting component. The advantage here is that the entire entertainment experience of the user can be significantly increased by the additionally generated light effect. For example, can be simulated by the light-emitting component, the optical sensation of an explosion, which additionally by the air flow, or by the blast of compressed air, the pressure wave can be simulated. Thus, a unique entertainment experience can be created especially in combination with the effects generated by the main flow channel and / or by the compressed air channel and / or by the water jets. The light-emitting component can preferably be equipped with LEDs, which are preferably designed for emitting a white flash light and also colored lights.

According to a particular embodiment, it is possible that in the effect armrest a control board for controlling the effects is arranged. The advantage here is that a control board can individually control the effects, such as the intensity and the strength of the air flow individually for each effect armrest individually. Thus, by means of appropriate sensors, the current state, as occupied or free, of each effect seat can be detected and, taking into account the current state of the effect seat, the individual effects can be controlled individually for each effect seat.

According to an advantageous development can be provided that the control board is disposed on a bottom of the effect armrest, wherein on the control board at least one LED is arranged, which serves to illuminate the floor. The advantage here is that the control board can simultaneously serve as a light-emitting component for effect lighting or security lighting, which illuminates the floor.

In particular, it can be advantageous that a seat occupancy sensor, in particular an infrared sensor, is integrated in the effect armrest, on the basis of which information the individual effects, in particular the air flow guided through the main flow channel, can be controlled. As a result, those seats that are not occupied, can be detected and therefore need not be acted upon by the effects, such as the air flow. Thus, this feature can minimize the energy needed to operate the entertainment device, or use it efficiently.

Furthermore, it can be provided that in the effect seat, in particular in the backrest in the neck region of the user, a further compressed air duct is designed for dispensing a further burst of compressed air into the neck of the user. The advantage here is that this effect leads to a completely new entertainment experience, especially in combination with the guided through the main flow channel air flow.

In addition, it can be provided that the effect module is integrated into the effect armrest and only one viewing area of the effect module is visible to the outside, wherein the visible surface, which is arranged in the field of view of the effect module projects a maximum of 5mm with respect to a receiving surface of the effect armrest, in which the Effect module is integrated. The advantage here is that the user can not abuse the effect module as a handle to hold on to it. Thus, the risk of damage to the effect module by the user can be minimized.

Also advantageous is an expression according to which a latching system can be formed on the effect module, which interacts with the receptacle in the effect armrest, whereby it can be removed from the effect armrest and inserted into it as needed. The advantage here is that the effect module can thus be easily installed in the effect armrest and, if necessary, can be removed from this again. As a result, possibly necessary cleaning work on the effect module can be carried out easily, which reduces, for example, the risk of the deposition of a mold.

According to a further development, it is possible for a retaining knob to be arranged in a hand rest area of the effect arm rests. The advantage here is that the user can hold on to the retaining knob in order to stabilize about his sitting position during the movement of the multimedia seat assembly can.

Furthermore, it may be expedient that a central control unit is embodied per multimedia seat arrangement, to which a signal from a computer unit reproducing a film can be transmitted by means of an interface, such as a network cable, whereby a pneumatic switching station can be actuated by the control unit. The advantage here is that thereby the installation effort in the installation of such a multimedia seat assembly is minimized, since only a network cable must be routed as a supply line for a multimedia seat arrangement.

Furthermore, it may be appropriate that the control unit and the control board are connected to each other by another network cable, so that control information between the control unit and the control board and vice versa are transferable. The advantage here is that thereby the control unit can be made smaller, since the computing power can be taken over centrally by the control board. As a result, the whole system is modular, with the appropriate programming of the control unit at any time another control board can be used, or the number of effect armrests or control boards can be varied.

In addition, it can be provided that in each case a loudspeaker is arranged on an effect seat, in particular on the left and on the right of the backrest. The advantage here is that individually for each effect seat a sound experience can be generated, which is tailored to the remaining effects. In particular, for example, in synchronism with the air flow guided through the main flow channel, the corresponding wind noise can be reproduced by the loudspeakers.

Furthermore, it can be provided that in the back of an effect seat, an actuator, in particular a pneumatic cylinder is arranged, by means of which a backrest surface of the backrest is selectively deformable. The advantage here is that the entertainment experience of the user can be intensified in conjunction with the remaining effects, in particular the guided through the main flow channel air flow. For example, in the simulation of an explosion in addition to the air flow into the user's face also flying parts can be simulated, which are thrown into the back of the user.

According to a particular embodiment, it is possible that a vibration drive is arranged in the backrest. The advantage here is that the entertainment experience of the user can be intensified in conjunction with the remaining effects, in particular the guided through the main flow channel air flow.

According to an advantageous development it can be provided that a vibration drive is arranged in a seat surface of the effect seat. The advantage here is that the entertainment experience of the user can be intensified in conjunction with the remaining effects, in particular the guided through the main flow channel air flow.

In particular, it may be advantageous that in an area of the foot of the effect seat, an elastic, pressurized air, pneumatic hose is arranged, which is closed on one side, and which is arranged freely suspended on the effect seat. The advantage here is that the entertainment experience of the user can be intensified in conjunction with the remaining effects, in particular the guided through the main flow channel air flow.

Finally, it can be provided that a movement device is formed, by means of which the Mulimediasitzanordnung is movable. The advantage here is that the entertainment experience of the user can be intensified in conjunction with the remaining effects, in particular the guided through the main flow channel air flow.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

By way of introduction, it should be noted that in the differently described embodiments, the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals or the same component names, wherein the disclosures contained in the entire description can be mutatis mutandis to the same parts with the same reference numerals or component names. Also, the location information chosen in the description, such as top, bottom, side, etc. related to the immediately described and illustrated figure and these position information in a change in position mutatis mutandis to transfer to the new location.

1 shows a perspective view of a multimedia seat arrangement 1 for a viewer area 2 of a entertainment device 3. Such an entertainment device 3 can be, for example, a 4D cinema in which a motion picture film is played and a special effect acts on a user 4 through the multimedia seat arrangement 1. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that such a multimedia seat arrangement 1 is used approximately in a theater or in any other entertainment device 3, such as a ghost train or another ride.

As can be seen in FIG. 1, provision can be made for the multimedia seat arrangement 1 to comprise a plurality of effect seats 5, which are arranged next to one another. In other words, the multimedia seat arrangement 1 is a unit of several side-by-side effect seats 5. The number of side-by-side effect seats 5 can vary depending on the field of application of the multimedia seat arrangement 1. As shown in Fig. 1, it is possible, for example, that three effect seats 5 are arranged side by side. In other applications, it is also conceivable that about 10 or 15 effect seats 5 are arranged side by side and thus form a multimedia seat arrangement 1. Furthermore, it is also conceivable that the multimedia seat arrangement 1 comprises only one effect seat 5.

Furthermore, it is provided that in each case left and right of the effect seat 5, an effect armrest 6 is arranged. The effect armrest 6 can in this case be integrated into the effect seat 5, but it is also possible for the effect armrest 6 to be arranged as an independently designed component on the multimedia seat arrangement 1.

Preferably, the number of effect armrests 6 in a multimedia seat arrangement 1 is always one higher than the number of effect seats 5. Furthermore, it can be provided that in the multimedia seat arrangement 1 all effect armrests 6 are identical, so that here a standard element can be used. An effect armrest 6 arranged between two effect seats 5 is in each case available to the users 4, who sit on the effect seat 5 on the left of the effect armrest 6 or on the effect seat 5 on the right of the effect armrest 6.

It is further provided that in an effect armrest 6 at least one effect module 7 is arranged, through which one or more special effects can contribute to the realistic entertainment of the user 4.

The effect module 7 comprises a flow housing 8, which is integrated into the effect armrest 6.

When flow housing 8 can be provided that this is a component which has a complex structure. To describe this complex component, a preferred embodiment of the flow housing 8 in Figures 2 to 13 is shown in several different views and sectional views. For a clear explanation of the features of the flow housing 8 and the effects achieved with it, a synopsis of several of these figures is used in the figure description of Figures 2 to 13. Here, the same reference numerals or component names are used as in the other figures 2 to 13 respectively for the same parts. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, not all reference signs are entered in each of the figures, but reference is made to the detailed descriptions of the respective other FIGS. 2 to 13. It should also be mentioned that the chronology of the description does not pay attention to the sequence of the figures, but that individual coherent effects are described consistently and orderly. As a result, it can occur that in the course of the description of the figures the figures are referred to in a seemingly arbitrary order.

In particular, the plan view of a viewing area 9 is shown here, which is visible in the installed state of the flow housing 8 in the effect armrest 6 from the outside, that is the user 4. The surface of the viewing area 9 is formed here by a visible surface 10.

12 is a sectional view of the flow housing 8, as already shown in perspective form in FIG. 8, in particular according to the section line VIII-VIII in FIG. 5.

FIG. 13 shows a further sectional illustration of the flow housing 8, in particular according to the section line XIII-XIII in FIG. 5.

The flow housing 8 is preferably formed from a thermoplastic material. It can be provided that the flow housing 8 is produced by means of a rapid prototyping method. Alternatively, it is also conceivable that the flow housing 8 is produced in an injection molding process.

As can be seen particularly well in Fig. 12, in the flow housing 8, a main flow channel 13 is formed, in which an air flow 14 is passed from an air inlet opening 15 via a channel section 16 to an air outlet opening 17. As can be seen in FIGS. 2 to 13, the air outlet opening 17 is arranged in the viewing area 9, in particular the visible surface 10. The air inlet opening 15 is arranged in the installation area 11, in particular on the installation surface 12. By this arrangement, the air flow 14 is guided out of the effect armrest 6 out into the face of a user 4.

In Fig. 12, a receiving surface 18 of the effect armrest 6 is further schematically indicated, in which the effect module, in particular the flow housing 8 is added. As can be seen from FIG. 12, a large part of the flow housing 8 is designed as an installation region 11, which is located below the receiving surface 18 of the effect armrest 6 and thus is not visible to the user 4.

The viewing area 9, which protrudes with respect to the receiving surface 18, preferably has only a very small extent. In particular, it can be provided that the viewing area 9 has only a very small height 19 between 2 mm and 5 mm. This can bring several benefits. On the one hand, an effect module 7 integrated in the effect armrest 6 is only slightly visible from the outside, whereby the visual appearance of the multimedia seat arrangement 1 is improved. In addition, it can be avoided that a user 4 tears the effect module 7 out of the effect armrest 6 unintentionally or even in a vandal-resistant manner.

Furthermore, it can be provided that in the region of the air inlet opening 15, a dome portion 20 is formed, through which the flow housing 8 can be connected to a fan 21 shown schematically. Such a fan 21 for generating the air flow 14 may be embodied for example in the form of a centrifugal fan, which is infinitely variable.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the fan 21 is inserted into the dome portion 20. In this case, it may additionally be provided that between the flow housing 8 and fan 21, a sealing ring is arranged, which is received in the annular exception of the dome portion 20, and through which the dome portion 20 is sealed.

Furthermore, it can be provided that, as shown in FIG. 12, a perfume 22 in a perfume supply line 23 is transported into a mixing chamber 24. The mixing chamber 24 is preferably designed in the form of a cavity 25, which is arranged at least in a partial region 26 around the main flow channel 13. In particular, it may be provided that, as shown particularly clearly in FIG. 10, the mixing chamber 24, which winds like a torus around the main flow channel 13, is spatially separated by a boundary wall 27 to the main flow channel 13.

The mixing chamber 24 serves, in particular, to be able to mix a homogeneous fragrance composition from a plurality of different fragrances 22. For this purpose, it can be provided that a plurality of perfume supply lines 23 are formed, which open into the mixing chamber 24. In the illustrated embodiment, there are about 4 Duftstoffzuleitungen 23, which open into the mixing chamber 24, and are arranged annularly around the main flow channel 13. As a result, for example, up to four different fragrances 22 can be mixed together to form a fragrance composition.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the boundary wall 27 has openings, which form a secondary flow channel 28, through which an individual perfume 22 or the mixed fragrance composition can be introduced into the main flow channel 13 via an outlet opening 29. In particular, as can be seen in FIG. 12, it can be provided that a plurality of secondary flow channels 28 are formed, which open out radially all around the main flow channel 13.

As can be seen from a comparison of FIGS. 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12, it can be provided that flow-guiding elements 30 are formed in the main flow channel 13, which can be designed, for example, in the form of a partition wall 31. By the partition wall 31 can be provided that the main flow channel 13 is divided into a plurality of flow sections 32. By dividing the main flow channel 13 into a plurality of flow sections 32, it can be achieved that the air flow 14, starting from the air outlet opening 17, is directed in a certain direction. In particular, the air flow 14 can be divided thereby. This may be particularly advantageous if only one effect module 7 is installed in an effect armrest 6 between two effect seats 5, by which two users 4 seated on the effect seats 5 next to the effect armrest 6 are flown by the air flow 14.

As can also be seen from the cited figures, it can be provided that the flow housing 8 is formed symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry 33. The plane of symmetry 33 may in this case extend between the visible surface 10 and the installation surface 12, it being possible in particular for the symmetry plane 33 to be aligned normally with the visible surface 10.

As can be clearly seen in FIG. 12, it can be provided that the main flow channel 13 is divided by a centrally arranged center dividing wall 34 into two main flow sections 35, which are respectively directed onto an effect seat 5. The desired directional deflection of the air flow 14 can be achieved or adjusted by a V-like design of the center partition 34.

As can be seen from FIG. 11, provision can be made for the air flow 14 to leave the main flow channel 13, in particular a main flow section 35, at an angle 36 to the visible surface 10.

This can be achieved by arranging the main flow channel 13, in particular the main flow section 35, in an upper subregion 37 at precisely this angle 36 to the visible surface 10.

In this case, the upper part region 37 of the main flow section 35 is approximately% of the longitudinal extent 38 of the main flow channel 13. In a lower part region 39, the main flow channel 13, in particular a main flow section 35, is oriented at right angles to the installation surface 12. This may be advantageous in order not to swirl the air flow 14, which is generated in the fan 21 and is introduced through the air inlet opening 15 into the main flow channel 13.

The lower portion 39 may also be in about% of the longitudinal extent 38 of the main flow channel 13. Furthermore, a transition section 40 may be provided, in which the main flow section 35 is transferred from the vertical orientation of the lower portion 39 in the arranged at an angle 36 orientation of the upper portion 37. In this case, it makes sense if no angular or abrupt transitions are present along the entire main flow section 35, but rather if the channel guidance is uniformly transferred.

Furthermore, as can be seen in particular in FIGS. 7 and 11, it can be provided that small intermediate partition walls 41 are arranged within the main flow section 35, by means of which it is subdivided into further flow sections 32. This can be particularly advantageous in order to achieve a targeted steering of the air flow 14 and thereby to obtain a laminar air flow.

On the outside, the main flow channel 13, as already mentioned, is limited by its boundary wall 27. In particular, a delimiting wall surface 42 serves to delimit or guide the flow. The delimiting wall surface 42 may preferably have a smooth surface in order to be able to produce a turbulence-free and laminar air flow 14 which is as laminar as possible.

As can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 2, provision may be made for the flow housing 8 to have a longitudinal extent 43 between 50 mm and 80 mm, in particular between 60 mm and 70 mm, preferably approximately 65 mm, at its viewing region 9. A transverse extension 44 of the flow housing 8 may have at the viewing area 9 between 50 mm and 70 mm, in particular in about 60 mm.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the main flow channel 13 at the air outlet opening 17 on the visible surface 10 has a longitudinal extent 45 between 25 mm and 40 mm, in particular between 30 mm and 35 mm. Preferably, it can be provided that the main flow channel 13 has a transverse extent 46 between 35 mm and 50 mm, in particular between 40 mm and 45 mm.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the main flow channel 13 at the air inlet opening 15, which is placed on the installation surface 12, has a diameter between 25 mm and 40 mm, in particular between 30 mm and 35 mm.

The longitudinal extent 38 of the main flow channel 13 may preferably be approximately between 20 mm and 35 mm, in particular between 20 mm and 30 mm.

Furthermore, it can be provided that a compressed air channel 48 is formed, through which a blast of compressed air 49 in the face of the user 4 can be issued. The compressed air channel 48 has in the installation area 11, in particular on the installation onsfläche 12, a compressed air inlet opening 50. On the visible surface 10, a compressed air outlet opening 51 of the compressed air channel 48 is arranged.

Furthermore, it can be provided that in the flow housing 8 two compressed air channels 48 are formed, which are arranged symmetrically with respect to the plane of symmetry 33. Similar to the main flow channel 13 can be provided that the compressed air channel 48, in particular in an upper portion 37, is arranged at an angle 52 to the visible surface 10. Furthermore, it can be provided that the compressed air channel at the compressed air inlet opening 50 has a first connection recess 53, which serves for receiving a compressed air hose 54, in particular a hose coupling 55.

Furthermore, it can be provided that the compressed air channel 48 seen from the first connection recess 53 in the direction of compressed air outlet opening 51, first a strongly narrowing cross section 56 and on the remaining length of the compressed air channel 48 has a slightly widening cross section 56.

The compressed air provided in the compressed air hose 54 may preferably have a pressure between 1 bar and 3 bar, in particular approximately 2 bar.

Furthermore, as clearly shown in FIG. 4, it can be provided that the compressed air outlet opening 51 has a longitudinal extent 57 between 1.5 mm and 4 mm, in particular between 2 mm and 3 mm, preferably about 2.5 mm. A transverse extent 58 of the compressed air outlet opening 51 can have between 2 mm and 10 mm, in particular between 4 mm and 6 mm, preferably about 4.5 mm.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, it may be provided that a second connection recess 59 is formed in the perfume supply line 23, which is designed to receive a perfume transport tube 60, in particular for receiving a hose coupling 61, by means of which the perfume transport tube 60 in the second connection recess 59 is fixed.

Furthermore, as can be seen in FIG. 2, it can be provided that a nozzle receptacle 62 is formed in the flow housing 8, which serves to receive a water nozzle 63.

As can be seen in FIG. 13, provision may be made for the nozzle receptacle 62 to be formed by a cavity which has its greatest extension at the installation surface 12.

As can be seen in FIG. 2, it can be provided that the nozzle receptacle 62 on the visible surface 10 has a longitudinal extent 64 between 10 mm and 25 mm, in particular between 15 mm and 20 mm. Furthermore, it can be provided that a transverse extent 65 of the nozzle receptacle 62 is between 40 mm and 60 mm, in particular between 45 mm and 55 mm, preferably approximately 50 mm.
