Abstract

An immersive crystal ball 3D visual projection device is provided, including: a hemisphere body serving as the projection image carrier, featuring a mounting surface and an outer spherical surface; a mounting base with a hemispherical hollow shell structure, connecting with the hemisphere body to form a complete sphere; wherein the mounting base includes a mounting cavity housing a display screen and a control unit, with the display screen's viewing surface facing the mounting surface to project images within the hemisphere body, enabling external observers to view the projected images through the outer spherical surface; and the control unit includes a display control board and a power control board, the display control board is electrically connected to the display screen to transmit image signals to it; the power control board is connected to a battery and is electrically linked to the display control board for power distribution and information exchange.

Claims (23)

1 . An immersive crystal ball 3D visual projection device, for displaying digital images, comprising:

a hemisphere body serving as a projection image carrier, featuring a mounting surface and an outer spherical surface;

a mounting base with a hemispherical hollow shell structure, connecting with the hemisphere body to form a complete sphere;

wherein the mounting base comprises a mounting cavity housing a display screen and a control unit, with the display screen's viewing surface facing the mounting surface to project images within the hemisphere body, enabling external observers to view the projected images through the outer spherical surface; and

the control unit comprises a display control board and a power control board, the display control board is electrically connected to the display screen to transmit image signals to it; the power control board is connected to a battery and is electrically linked to the display control board for power distribution and information exchange; the power control board manages battery power allocation and controls charge/discharge logic.

2 . The immersive crystal ball 3D visual projection device according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting cavity is provided with a mounting opening, and the edge of the mounting opening is provided with a sealing groove, wherein the sealing groove is used to fill with sealant to seal and bond the hemisphere body and the mounting base.

3 . The immersive crystal ball 3D visual projection device according to claim 1 , wherein a speaker is installed within the mounting cavity, and the display control board is electrically connected to the speaker, enabling the display control board to transmit audio signals to the speaker; the mounting base is provided with a plurality of speaker holes corresponding to the speaker, allowing sound from the speaker to be transmitted through the speaker holes to the exterior of the mounting cavity.

4 .
