DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS

The technical solutions in embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in some embodiments of the present disclosure. It is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments acquired by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the present disclosure without the creative work are all within the scope of the present disclosure.


As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a cockpit control method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The control method includes the following operations.


Operation S11 may include: detecting a play scene where a cockpit is currently located.


In some embodiments, current location information of the cockpit may be obtained first, and then the play scene where the cockpit is currently located may be determined based on the current location information. The current location information may include three-dimensional coordinate points of the cockpit, including a height of a location where the cockpit is currently located. Because different play scenes at different heights may be arranged in the amusement park in the vertical direction. For example, a haunted house may be arranged on a first floor, and an indoor motorbike may be arranged on a second floor. A play scene with varying heights, such as a roller coaster or a jumping machine may be arranged in the amusement park. Therefore, when carrying a visitor to play in the amusement park, the cockpit may be located at different heights.


In other embodiments, the play scene where the cockpit is currently located may be detected through image processing. For example, a particular logo is arranged at a particular location of an entrance of each play scene, the cockpit is controlled to first capture and upload an image of the particular logo when the cockpit arrives at the particular location of each play scene. A controller compares the image with a pre-stored image to determine the play scene where the cockpit current is located.


Operation S12 may include: determining a moving route and a moving mode, matching the play scene, of the cockpit.


Different play scenes have different characteristics, and different moving routes and moving modes in some embodiments of the present disclosure may be designed based on characteristics of play scenes. In some embodiments, the moving mode may include at least one of moving through an automated guided vehicle (AGV) robot, moving through a track, and moving through a carrier. The AGV robot has an automated-guided-driving function. When the cockpit moves through the AGV robot with the automated-guided-driving function, the cockpit is equivalent to a manned automated guided vehicle, may be set a moving route in advance, and may carry the visitor to move along a preset moving route. When the cockpit moves through a track, the moving route is a path along the track. When the cockpit moves through a carrier, the cockpit is fixed to the carrier, and the moving route may be set in advance.


Operation S13 may include: controlling the cockpit to move along the moving route according to the moving mode.


After determining the moving route and the moving mode matching the play scene, the cockpit may be controlled to move along the moving route according to the moving mode.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2a, FIG. 2a is a structural schematic diagram of a play scene according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. A tropical rainforest play scene A is arranged in a first floor of an amusement park. A moving route matching the play scene A may be to visit as many configurations within the play scene A as possible, and a moving mode may be moving through an AGV robot 12 with the automated-guided-driving function. That is to say, a cockpit 11 is connected to the AGV robot 12, which is equivalent to a manned automated guided vehicle, enables the visitor to visit and play as many configurations as possible within the play scene, while eliminating a hassle of designing play routes and saving walking energy and complicated process of boarding a shuttle bus.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2a, a play scene connected to the tropical rainforest A is a roller coaster track from the first floor to a second floor. A moving route matching the roller coaster play scene is a route where a roller coaster track 13 is located, and a moving mode is moving through the roller coaster track 13. The cockpit 11 and the AGV robot 12 are separated from each other when they move to a starting region S, the cockpit 11 enters the roller coaster track 13 and moves to an end region T along the roller coaster track 13. The idle AGV robot 12 located at the starting region S may move to the end region T of the roller coaster track 13 on the second floor or other required locations through the carrier.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the AGV robot may communicate wirelessly with an upper computer, and the moving route may be controlled by the upper computer, so that the AGV robot may carry the cockpit to move along a preset route. In addition, the visitor may control the AGV robot through a mobile terminal. That is, in addition to accepting the preset route, the visitor may independently design the moving route, thereby further improving the play experience.


In an application scenario, as shown in FIGS. 2b and 2c, FIG. 2b is a structural schematic diagram of a roller coaster play scene according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2c is a structural schematic diagram of a roller coaster play scene according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. A starting region and an end region of a roller coaster play scene may have a same height, that is, the roller coaster play scene may be used as a switching scene between two other play scenes located on the same floor height, or the roller coaster play scene may be used as a separate play scene. As shown in FIG. 2b, a starting region and an end region of a roller coaster track 231 are respectively located on both ends of the roller coaster play scene having a same height. As shown in FIG. 2c, a starting region and an end region of a roller coaster track 232 are located on a same position of the roller coaster play scene.


In FIG. 2b, after entering the roller coaster play scene, when the visitor chooses to use the moving mode of moving through a track, the cockpit 211 enters the roller coaster track 231 from the starting region, moves along the track to the end region, and then enters a next play scene. When the visitor chooses to use the moving mode of moving through a AGV robot, the AGV robot 221 carries the cockpit 211 and the visitor to directly enter the next play scene from a lower passage of the roller coaster track 231. Moving modes matching a previous play scene of the roller coaster play scene and a next play scene of the roller coaster play scene may be moving through an AGV robot or a track. In FIG. 2c, after entering the roller coaster play scene from the previous play scene, when the visitor chooses to use the moving mode of moving through a track, the cockpit 212 enters the roller coaster track 232 from the starting region, moves along the track, returns to the starting region after finishing the track, and return the previous play scene. When the visitor chooses to use the moving mode of moving through a AGV robot, the AGV robot 222 carries the cockpit 212 and the visitor to directly move into the next play scene through the lower passage of the roller coaster track 232. Moving modes matching a previous play scene of the roller coaster play scene and a next play scene of the roller coaster play scene may be moving through an AGV robot or a track.


In this embodiment, different moving routes and moving modes are designed according to characteristics of different play scenes. When the visitor rides the cockpit to play in a play scene, a matching moving route and a matching mode may be automatically selected according to the play scene where the cockpit is located. Moreover, when the visitor rides the cockpit to enter a next play scene, a matching moving route and a matching mode may be automatically selected again. That is, the visitor does not need to move a lot or continually take shuttle buses, and only need to ride the cockpit all the time to play in different play scenes. The visitor may not only enjoy the play fun in play scenes, but also get different riding experiences, thereby improving the riding experience and the playing fun of the visitor while riding the cockpit.


In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a cockpit control method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The control method may include following operations.


Operation S21 may include: detecting a play scene where a cockpit is currently located.


In some embodiments, current location information of the cockpit may be obtained first, and then the play scene where the cockpit is currently located may be determined based on the current location information.


Operation S22 may include: determining a moving route and a moving mode, matching the play scene, of the cockpit.


Different play scenes have different characteristics, and different moving routes and moving modes in some embodiments of the present disclosure may be designed based on the characteristics of the play scene. In some embodiments, the moving mode may include at least one of moving through an automated guided vehicle (AGV) robot, moving through a track, and moving through a carrier. The AGV robot has an automated-guided-driving function.


Operations S21-S22 in these embodiments are the same as the operations S11-S12. Details may refer to the above embodiments, which are not repeated here.


Operation S23 may include: judging whether the moving mode matching the play scene is consistent with a current moving mode of the cockpit.


After determining the moving route of the cockpit and the moving mode of the cockpit, whether the moving mode is consistent with the current moving mode of the cockpit is judged. There are multiple different play scenes in the amusement park. After the cockpit carries the visitor from the current play scene to a next play scene, the moving mode of the cockpit may be the unchanged or may be required to be changed. Therefore, it is necessary to first judge whether the moving mode matching the next play scene is consistent with the current moving mode of the cockpit.


For example, the cockpit carries the visitor to switch from a tropical rainforest play scene to a haunted house play scene. When the cockpit is in the tropical rainforest, the moving mode is moving through the AGV robot. After the cockpit enters the haunted house, a matching moving mode is still moving through the AGV robot. The AGV robot automatically guides the driving according to a moving route applicable to the haunted house, and carries the cockpit and the visitor to experience in the haunted house play scene. That is, the moving mode matching the haunted house play scene is consistent with the current moving mode of the cockpit, and there is no need to change the moving mode. In this case, operation S25 is directly performed, i.e., controlling the cockpit to move, according to the moving mode matching the haunted house play scene, along the moving route. That is, the cockpit carries the visitor to move in the haunted house play scene through the AGV robot.


For another example, the cockpit carries the visitor to switch from a roller coaster play scene to a water motorbike play scene. The moving mode of the cockpit in the roller coaster play scene is moving through the track. After the roller coaster play scene is switched to the water motorbike play scene, a matching moving mode is still moving through the track. The cockpit moves along a water track in the water motorbike play scene, and carries the visitor to experience the fun of water play. That is, the moving mode matching the water motorbike play scene is consistent with the current moving mode of the cockpit, and there is no need to change the moving mode. In this case, operation S25 is directly performed, i.e., controlling the cockpit to move, according to the moving mode matching the water motorbike play scene, along the moving route. That is, the cockpit carries the visitor to move in the water motorbike play scene through the track arranged in the water.


Operation S24 may include: switching the current moving mode of the cockpit to the moving mode matching the play scene, in response to the moving mode matching the play scene being inconsistent with the current moving mode of the cockpit.


When it is determined that the moving mode matching a next play scene where the cockpit will arrive is inconsistent with the current moving mode of the cockpit, it is required to switch the moving mode, that is, the current moving route of the cockpit is switched to the moving mode matching the play scene.


For example, when the cockpit carries the visitor to switch from a haunted house play scene to a roller coaster play scene, a moving mode matching the roller coaster is moving through the track, while a moving mode matching the haunted house is moving through the AGV robot. Since the two moving modes are inconsistent, the current moving mode that the cockpit moves through the AGV robot is switched to moving mode that the cockpit moves through the track, so as to enable the visitor to play in the roller coaster play scene. In some embodiments, the cockpit and the AGV robot may be separated from each other at a starting region of the roller coaster, the cockpit enters the track and moves along the track to an end region. The idle AGV robot located at the starting region may move to the end of the track on a second floor or other required locations.


Operation S25 may include: controlling the cockpit to move, according to the moving mode matching the play scene, along the moving route.


When the moving mode matching the play scene is consistent with the current moving mode of the cockpit, the cockpit may be controlled to move, according to the moving mode matching the play scene, along the moving route. Details may refer to operation S13 in the above embodiments, which are not repeated here.


In this embodiment, different moving routes and moving modes are designed according to characteristics of different play scenes. When the visitor rides the cockpit to play in a play scene, a matching moving route and a matching mode may be automatically selected according to the play scene where the cockpit is located. Moreover, after determining that the moving mode matching the play scene is consistent with the current moving mode of the cockpit, the cockpit may be controlled to move, according to the moving mode matching the play scene, along the moving route. That is, when the visitor switches between different play scenes, the moving mode of the cockpit may be automatically switched in this embodiment, so that the visitor does not need to move a lot or continually take shuttle buses, and only need to ride the cockpit all the time to play in different play scenes. The visitor may not only enjoy the play fun in play scenes, but also get different riding experiences, thereby improving the riding experience and playing fun of the visitor while riding the cockpit.


In other embodiments, As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a cockpit control method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The control method may include following operations.


Operation S31 may include: detecting a play scene where a cockpit is currently located.


In some embodiments, current location information of the cockpit may be obtained first, and then the play scene where the cockpit is currently located may be determined based on the current location information.


Operation S32 may include: determining a moving route and a moving mode, matching the play scene, of the cockpit, the moving mode being moving through a track.


Different play scenes have different characteristics, and different moving routes and moving modes in some embodiments of the present disclosure may be designed based on the characteristics of the play scene. In this embodiment, the moving mode matching the play scene is moving through the track, and the play scene may be a roller coaster play scene, or a water motorbike play scene, etc.


Operations S31-S32 in this embodiment are the same as the above operations S11-S12S. Details may refer to the above embodiments, which are not repeated here.


Operation S33 may include: in response to the cockpit arriving at an end region of the track, detecting whether there is an idle AGV robot at the end region of the track, the end region including at least two parking spaces of the AGV robot.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 5 is a structural schematic diagram of a play scene according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. When a cockpit 31 carries the visitor to move along a track 33 to an end region of the track 33, it is detected whether there is an idle AGV robot 32 at the end region of the track 33. The end region includes at least two parking spaces of the AGV robot 32. In this embodiment, the matching moving mode of the cockpit 31 entering a play scene D from the end region of the track 33 is moving through the AGV robot, so that the cockpit 31 is required to be connected to an idle AGV robot 32 to form a manned automatic guided vehicle, which carries the visitor to continue to play in the next play scene. When multiple cockpits move on the track, in order to improve moving efficiency of the cockpits and reduce waiting time of visitors, multiple parking spaces of AGV robots are arranged in the end region of the track 33. After idle AGV robots 32 are carried to the end region, each of the AGV robots 32 are arranged to be connected to the track 33, so that multiple cockpits 31 may be simultaneously connected to AGV robots.


Operation S34 may include: controlling the cockpit to move onto the idle AGV robot, in response to there being the idle AGV robot; a track-switching component being configured to connect the tack and the idle AGV robot.


In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, after the cockpit 31 arrives at the end region of the track 33, the track 33 is connected to the AGV robot 32 through the track-switching component, and the cockpit is controlled to move onto the AGV robot. The track-switching component 34 may include a switching platform 341 and a switching track 342. Multiple switching tracks 342 are arranged on the switching platform 341 and extend to be connected to the AGV robot 32. A track-switching bar (not shown in the drawing) is arranged at a connection between the track 33 and the switching track 342. By changing a position and a direction of the track-switching bar, the cockpit 31 enters different switching track 342 from the track 33. The cockpit 31 may move onto a corresponding AGV robot 32 from the switching track 342, then is connected to the AGV robot 32 through a clamping component, so that the AGV robot 32 carries the cockpit 31 to leave the play scene and enter the next play scene D, and moves along a preset moving route through the moving mode of the AGV robot in the next play scene D.


Operation S35 may include: controlling the cockpit to wait for an idle AGV robot, in response to there being no idle AGV robot.


This embodiment utilizes the moving characteristic of the cockpit moving in the play scene through a track. By configuring a track-switching component at the end region of the track, multiple cockpits may be simultaneously connected to their corresponding AGV robots through the track-switching component, thereby improving moving efficiency of the cockpits, reducing waiting time of visitors, and improving the riding experience of the visitors while riding the cockpit. Moreover, in this embodiment, this connection manner between the AGV robot and the cockpit may be switched between different play scenes matching different moving modes. That is, when the visitor switches between different play scenes, the moving mode of the cockpit is automatically switched in this embodiment, so that the visitor does not need to move a lot or continually take shuttle buses, and only need to ride the cockpit all the time to play in different play scenes. The visitor may not only enjoy the play fun in play scenes, but also get different riding experiences, thereby improving the riding experience and playing fun of the visitor while riding the cockpit.


In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a cockpit control method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, The control method may include following operations.


Operation S41 may include: detecting a play scene where a cockpit is currently located, the play scene being a vertical lifting platform.


In some embodiments, current location information of the cockpit may be obtained first, and then the play scene where the cockpit is currently located may be determined based on the current location information. Operation S41 is the same as the operation S11 in the above embodiments. Details may refer to the above embodiments, which are not repeated here. In this embodiment, the play scene where the cockpit is currently located is detected to be the vertical lifting platform, which allows the visitor to quickly descend from high to low and experience weightlessness, as well as quickly ascend from low to high and experience overweight.


Operation S42 may include: detecting whether a height of a location where the cockpit is currently located is higher than a preset value.


Different play scenes may be arranged at different heights of the amusement park, and the switching between different play scenes arranged at different heights may be implemented through a carrier of an elevator. In order to further improve the play experience, the switching process may be designed as a play scene, such as a vertical lifting platform. In order to improve the weightlessness experience, the vertical lifting platform is required to be arranged at a location having a height with the preset value. In this embodiment, after the play scene where the cockpit is currently located is detected to be the vertical lifting platform, it is detected whether the height of the location where the cockpit is currently located is higher than the preset value, so as to further judge whether switch between a current play scene and a next play scene through the vertical lifting platform.


In other embodiments, the vertical lifting platform may be descend to a location having a certain height, and then it may be judged whether the location where the cockpit is currently located having the height, thereby providing the visitor with an overweight experience through the cockpit and the vertical lifting platform, and implementing the switching between the current play scene and the next play scene.


Operation S43 may include: transporting the cockpit to a designed location through the vertical lifting platform, in response to the height of the location where the cockpit is currently located being higher than the preset value.


In response to the height of the location where the cockpit is currently located being determined to be higher than the preset value, the cockpit is transported to the designed location through the vertical lifting platform. In some embodiments, multiple locking components are arranged on the vertical lifting platform, which may lock the cockpit on the vertical lifting platform, thereby enhancing the safety of the visitor experiencing the vertical lifting platform. In response to the height of the location where the cockpit is currently located being determined to be not higher than the preset value, which indicates that the cockpit has not fully entered the vertical lifting platform and may still be located at an end of the track of a previous play scene of vertical lifting platform, the cockpit may be controlled to move onto the vertical lifting platform, as shown in operation S44 of FIG. 6.


In an application scenario, the cockpit carries the visitor and ascends from a roller coaster track to a third floor, and then directly enters the vertical lifting platform connected to the track. The cockpit is locked on the vertical lifting platform through the locking component. The cockpit follows the vertical lifting platform and quickly descends to a water motorbike play scene (i.e., a designated location) on a second floor, after that, the cockpit is unlocked, and the cockpit may carry the visitor to continue to move along a track of the water motorbike, thereby implementing the switching between play scenes and improving the play experience of the visitor. It may be understood that, in some embodiment of the present disclosure, the terms “first floor”, “second floor”, and “third floor”, etc. only exemplarily indicate different vertical heights, and are not limited to a definition of floor heights of an ordinary building.


In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a cockpit control method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. This embodiment includes operations after operation S43 of the above embodiments. That is, after the transporting the cockpit to a designed location through the vertical lifting platform, this embodiment may include following operations.


Operation S51 may include: detecting whether a moving mode, matching the play scene, of the cockpit is moving through the AGV robot, in response to the cockpit entering the play scene from the designated location.


In the above embodiment, the vertical lifting platform only transports the cockpit to the designated location. When the cockpit enters a next play scene from the designated location, the moving mode may be changed. Therefore, it is necessary to detect whether the moving mode, matching the play scene, of the cockpit is moving through the AGV robot, in response to the cockpit entering a play scene from the designated location, so as to determine the moving mode of the cockpit.


Operation S52 may include: in response to the moving mode, matching the play scene, of the cockpit being moving through the AGV robot, detecting whether there is the idle AGV robot at the designed location, the designated location including at least two parking spaces of the idle AGV robot.


When it is detected that the moving mode, matching the play scene, of the cockpit is moving through the AGV robot, it is necessary to switch the moving mode of the cockpit to be moving through the AGV robot. It may be first detected whether there is an idle AGV robot at the designed location, and the designated location includes at least two parking spaces of the AGV robot. The vertical lifting platform may accommodate multiple cockpits and simultaneously transport the multiple cockpits to the designated location. In order to improve the moving efficiency of the cockpits and reduce the waiting time of the visitors, at least two parking spaces of the AGV robot may be arranged at the designed location, so that after the multiple cockpits arrive at the designed location simultaneously, the multiple cockpits may be simultaneously connected to corresponding AGV robots to enter the next play scene.


In response to the moving mode of the cockpit being not moving through the AGV robot, the current cockpit may directly enter a track of the next play scene connected to the designated location, as shown in operation S54 of FIG. 7.


Operation S53 may include: controlling the cockpit move onto the idle AGV robot, in response to there is the idle AGV robot; a connection component being configured to connect to the vertical lifting platform to the idle AGV robot.


In this embodiment, the vertical lifting platform only transports the cockpit to the designated location, and the cockpit itself does not have an ability to move autonomously. Therefore, the connection component is required to connect the vertical lifting platform to the AGV robot, and the cockpit is controlled to move onto the AGV robot. In response to having no idle AGV robot, the cockpit is controlled to wait for an idle AGV robot, as shown in operation S55 of FIG. 7.


In an application scenario, the designated location is the ground. That is, when it is judged that the height of the location where the cockpit is currently located is higher than the preset value, the cockpit is transport to the ground through the vertical lifting platform. The cockpit carries the visitor to ascend from a roller coaster track to a third floor, and then directly enters the vertical lifting platform connected to the track. The cockpit is locked on the vertical lifting platform through the locking component. Then it is further determined that the moving mode, matching a tropical rainforest play scene, of the cockpit of entering the tropical rainforest play scene from the designated location is moving through the AGV robot. The cockpit is unlocked after the cockpit follows the vertical lifting platform and quickly descends to the tropical rainforest play scene on the ground, the connection component is configured to connect the vertical lifting platform to the AGV robot, and the cockpit is controlled to move onto the AGV the robot, so that the cockpit is connected to the AGV robot, and carries the visitor to continue to play in the tropical rainforest play scene, thereby implementing the switching between play scenes and improving the play experience of the visitor.


In this embodiment, the AGV robot is arranged at a lower position of the vertical lifting platform, so that after the cockpit is transported to the designated location, the cockpit may be connected to the AGV robot, then the cockpit enters a play scene matching a moving mode of moving through the AGV robot, and continues to play. In this way, the visitor may switch different play scenes through riding the cockpit all the time. In addition, the switching process may be set a play scene, thereby further improving the riding experience and play experience of the visitor while riding the cockpit.


In other embodiments, in case where the moving mode, matching a play scene before the cockpit enters the vertical lifting platform, of the cockpit is moving through the AGV robot, the operation of transporting the cockpit to a designed location through the vertical lifting platform may include: transporting the cockpit and the AGV robot carrying the cockpit to the designed location through the vertical lifting platform.


As shown in the FIGS. 8a and 8b, FIG. 8a is a structural schematic diagram of a play scene according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, and FIG. 8b is a structural schematic diagram of the play scene shown in FIG. 8 in another perspective. In some application scenarios, in case where the moving mode, matching a play scene E before the cockpit 51 enters the vertical lifting platform 55, of the cockpit 51 is moving through the AGV robot 52, that is, the AGV robot 52 carries the cockpit 51 together into the vertical lifting platform 55. In this case, the operation of transporting the cockpit to a designed location through the vertical lifting platform in the above embodiments may include: transporting the cockpit 51 and the AGV robot 52 carrying the cockpit 51 to the designed location through the vertical lifting platform 55. Then, the cockpit 51 may carry the visitor directly to move into a play scene G matching the moving mode of moving through the AGV robot, and may carry the visitor to continue to play in the play scene G.


In this embodiment, the cockpit and the AGV robot may be simultaneously transported to the design location through the vertical lifting platform, so that the visitor switches between different play scenes by riding the cockpit all the time, thereby reducing the physical energy consumption of walking, avoiding the complicated process of constantly changing the shuttle buses, and improving the riding experience of the visitor. Moreover, the switching process is designed as a play scene, thereby further improving the riding experience and play experience of the visitor while riding the cockpit.


As shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 9 is a structural schematic diagram of a cockpit control apparatus according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The control apparatus may include a cockpit 100, a controller 101, and a memory 102. The cockpit 100 and the memory 102 are respectively connected to the controller 101. The memory 102 stores a program instruction, and the controller 101 is configured to execute the program instruction to control the cockpit 100 to implement any of the cockpit control methods mentioned above.


The following describes a working process of the cockpit control apparatus in some embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with an application scenario, which may refer to the above FIGS. 2a, 5, and 8a. The controller 101 controls the cockpit 100 to pass through multiple play scenes according to a play route. First, the AGV robot carries the cockpit 100 to move in a play scene on the first floor along a moving route. After the moving route is finished, the cockpit 100 arrives at a starting region of the roller coaster scene located on the first floor, the cockpit 100 and the AGV robot are separated from each other, and the cockpit 100 enters a roller coaster track and moves along the track from the first floor to an end region located on the second floor.
