Abstract
A photography studio with a turntable driving mechanism is provided. The turntable is driven to start or brake by at least two timing pulleys contacting with the side of the turntable, and the timing pulleys were driven synchronously by another motorized timing pulley through a timing belt. Therefore, at least two indirect contact points are formed between the motorized timing pulley and the turntable to increase the contact friction to avoid sliding when the rotation of the turntable starts or brakes. In addition, a multilayer platform for shooting shadow-free images is proposed, which comprises a thicker transparent glass plate or plastic plate covered with a thinner curved translucent plastic plate and a group of lamps disposed under or behind the multilayer platform.
Claims13
A photography studio with a turntable driving mechanism, comprising:
- a light transmissive round platter for carrying a photographed object;
- a turntable driving unit, comprising:
- a plurality of timing pulleys;
- a motor, connecting with one of the timing pulleys;
- and
- a timing belt, fitting onto the timing pulleys, and at least two of the timing pulleys driven by the timing belt and contacting with a side surface of the light transmissive round platter with upper edges thereof, wherein the motor is capable of driving the timing pulley connecting with the motor to rotate for rotating the timing belt, and thus the timing pulleys contacting with the side surface of the light transmissive round platter is driven to rotate by the timing belt, so as to start or brake the light transmissive round platter;
- a turntable supporting unit, comprising a plurality of idlers, and the idlers and some of the timing pulleys contacting the side surface of the light transmissive round platter from different directions;
- and
- a bottom side lighting group, disposed under the light transmissive round platter.
A photography studio with a turntable driving mechanism, comprising:
- a light transmissive large gear, capable of carrying a photographed object;
- a turntable driving unit, comprising:
- a small gear, engaging with the light transmissive large gear;
- and
- a motor, connecting with the small gear, wherein the motor is capable of driving the small gear to rotate, so as to start or brake the light transmissive large gear;
- a turntable supporting unit, supporting the light transmissive large gear together with the turntable driving unit and comprising a plurality of other small gears, wherein the small gear and the other small gears engage with the light transmissive large gear from different directions;
- and
- a bottom side lighting group, disposed under the light transmissive large gear.
