TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of amusement equipment, and particularly relates to an amusement equipment for experiencing manned flight. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of the amusement industry, people have higher and higher requirements for the experience and stimulation of amusement projects, and manned flight type amusement projects are gradually favored. At present, the existing manned flight amusement equipment mostly realizes flight in the manner that the unmanned aerial vehicle itself carries a battery, but has the following deficiencies: on the one hand, the endurance of the battery of the unmanned aerial vehicle is limited, and the unmanned aerial vehicle cannot provide flight experience for tourists for a long time; on the other hand, if the battery or the power system of the unmanned aerial vehicle fails during flight, the safety cannot be guaranteed, and great safety hazards are brought to the experiencers. Even if the unmanned aerial vehicle is powered from the ground in a tethered manner to run for a long time, it is also difficult to guarantee safety when the motor, electronic speed controller and other components fail. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a manned flight amusement equipment with stable endurance and high safety. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to provide a winding suspension type amusement equipment for experiencing manned flight, so as to solve the problems of limited endurance and insufficient safety of the existing manned flight amusement equipment.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions: A winding suspension type amusement equipment for experiencing manned flight, comprising a winding system, a traction rope, an unmanned aerial vehicle and a power supply; The winding system comprises a winding frame, a first pulley and an electric winding machine, and the winding frame is fixed to the ground or a ground building; The unmanned aerial vehicle comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle body and an experience cabin; the experience cabin is arranged below the unmanned aerial vehicle body and is used for the experiencer to ride; The traction rope is connected with the electric winding machine after passing through the first pulley, and the other end of the traction rope is connected with the unmanned aerial vehicle body; A tension sensor is arranged between the electric winding machine and the ground or the ground building, or a tension sensor is arranged in parallel at the position where the traction rope is connected with the unmanned aerial vehicle body, and the tension sensor is electrically connected with the control system of the electric winding machine; the tension sensor is used for measuring the instantaneous tension of the electric winding machine, and the tension sensed by the tension sensor can reflect the tensioning degree of the traction rope; the greater the tension sensed by the tension sensor, the tighter the traction rope is; the smaller the tension sensed by the tension sensor, the looser the traction rope is; The power supply is electrically connected with the electric winding machine, and the power supply supplies power to the electric winding machine.

[0005] Further, the intercom device is installed in the safety helmet, and the intercom device communicates with the ground personnel in a wireless manner. The intercom device is integrated in the safety helmet, so that the user does not need to carry additional communication equipment, and the wireless connection avoids the problems of line entanglement and the like, and ensures stable and smooth communication.

[0006] Further, the intercom device is installed in the safety helmet, and the intercom device communicates with the ground personnel in a wireless manner. The intercom device is integrated in the safety helmet, so that the user does not need to carry additional communication equipment, and the wireless connection avoids the problems of line entanglement and the like, and ensures stable and smooth communication.

[0007] Further, in order to make the unmanned aerial vehicle have a wider range of activities, and in order to facilitate maintenance of the electric hoist, the electric hoist and the power supply are installed on the ground, and the hoist system further comprises a second pulley, the traction rope is wound around the first pulley and then wound around the second pulley and connected with the electric hoist. The second pulley changes the force direction and traction range of the traction rope, expands the flight activity space of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and at the same time, the electric hoist and the power supply are placed on the ground, so that the staff can maintain without high-altitude operation, thereby reducing the difficulty and safety risk of maintenance.

[0008] Further, the power supply supplies power to the unmanned aerial vehicle through the power line, one end of the power line is electrically connected with the power supply, the other end of the power line is electrically connected with the unmanned aerial vehicle, and the power line is tied to the bottom of the experience cabin; or the power line is arranged in the traction rope, one end of the power line is electrically connected with the power supply, and the other end of the power line is connected with the unmanned aerial vehicle body. The unmanned aerial vehicle is not equipped with a battery, and the power supply supplies power to the unmanned aerial vehicle through the power line, so that the safety of the user is not threatened by fire caused by battery failure. The two power line arrangement modes can be flexibly selected according to the actual installation environment and equipment structure, and the external power supply completely solves the problem of short battery endurance of the unmanned aerial vehicle, and avoids the safety hazard caused by battery failure.

[0009] The working logic of the tension sensor of the electric hoist is as follows: the unmanned aerial vehicle body is initially placed on the ground, the electric hoist tensions the traction rope, the tension is maintained at a first set value, which is insufficient to lift the unmanned aerial vehicle with the experience off the ground, and the unmanned aerial vehicle is started; when the tension sensor senses that the tension of the traction rope is less than 10N, the electric hoist tensions the traction rope to a second set value, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle can fly freely within a certain range, and the traction rope is always kept in a tensioned state during flight; during flight, if the unmanned aerial vehicle malfunctions, the deflection angle in the pitch or roll direction is greater than or equal to 30 degrees, or the unmanned aerial vehicle suddenly descends at a speed greater than 3 m / s, the electric hoist automatically locks the traction rope (at this time, the tension of the traction rope is greater than the total weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle), so that the unmanned aerial vehicle hovers in the air or swings in the air without descending; after 3 seconds of locking, the electric hoist automatically releases the line at a slow speed (speed less than or equal to 1 m / s), and the electric hoist is locked when the tension is sensed to be a third set value, thereby ensuring the safety of the experience. This working logic forms a complete safety protection mechanism, from the preparation before the unmanned aerial vehicle takes off to the real-time monitoring and fault handling during flight, precise control is achieved, and the safety of the experience is maximized. The first set value of the tension is between 10N and 20N; the second set value is between 1N and 10N; and the third set value is less than or equal to 20N.

[0010] Further, an infrared distance sensor is arranged at the bottom of the experience cabin, a signal control line is arranged in the traction rope, the infrared distance sensor is electrically connected with the signal control line, and the signal control line is electrically connected with the control system of the electric hoist. When the infrared distance sensor senses that the experience cabin contacts the ground, the control system of the electric hoist controls the electric hoist to lock the traction rope. The infrared distance sensor can monitor the distance between the experience cabin and the ground in real time, and timely triggers the electric hoist to lock when the experience cabin lands, preventing the traction rope from continuing to loosen and causing the experience cabin to sway or tip over, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the experience during landing.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages: Stable endurance: the unmanned aerial vehicle is powered by an external power supply through a power supply line, without the need to carry a battery itself, solving the problem of limited battery endurance, and providing flight experience for the experience for a long time. Compared with the traditional method of relying on the battery of the unmanned aerial vehicle, the external power supply can provide continuous and stable power, without being limited by the capacity of the battery, and meets the needs of long-term operation of the amusement project.

[0012] High safety: the electric hoist is equipped with a tension sensor, which can automatically wind and unwind the wire according to the change of tension, lock, take measures in time when the unmanned aerial vehicle is abnormal, and protect the personal safety of the experimenter; the intercom device in the experience cabin facilitates the communication between the experimenter and the ground control personnel, and further improves the safety guarantee; the unmanned aerial vehicle does not carry a battery, and will not threaten the safety of the experimenter due to battery fire. Multiple safety protection measures guarantee the experience process from different dimensions, and reduce the probability of safety accidents caused by various faults. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] In order to make the technical scheme of the application clearer, the embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings: In this embodiment, the hoist suspension type experience manned flight amusement equipment includes a hoisting system, a tow rope 5, an unmanned aerial vehicle and a power supply 10. The hoist frame 1 is made of high-strength steel material and is fixedly installed on the concrete base of the amusement ground to ensure its stability. The first pulley 2 and the second pulley 3 are both made of wear-resistant alloy steel and are respectively installed at the top and the side of the hoist frame 1. The surface of the pulley is treated to be smooth to reduce the friction loss when the tow rope 5 slides.

[0015] The electric hoist 4 is selected to have good braking performance and is installed in the equipment room on the ground for easy maintenance by the staff. The tension sensor 11 is a high-precision pressure sensor and is installed at the connection between the tow rope 5 and the unmanned aerial vehicle body 6. The tension sensor 11 is electrically connected with the control system of the electric hoist 4 and can transmit the tension signal to the control system in real time.

[0016] The unmanned aerial vehicle body 6 adopts a multi-rotor structure and has good flight stability and controllability. The experience cabin 7 is a hemispherical sealed structure made of lightweight high-strength composite material and is equipped with safety facilities such as seats and safety belts inside. A buffer device is installed below the seat to reduce the impact force when landing. The intercom device 9 is integrated in the safety helmet and uses a Bluetooth wireless communication module to pair with the communication equipment of the ground control center to ensure clear and stable communication.

[0017] The power supply 10 adopts a high-power lithium battery pack or an external industrial power supply, and supplies power for the electric hoist 4 and the unmanned aerial vehicle through the power supply line 12. In the embodiment, the power supply line 12 has two schemes. Scheme one: the power supply line 12 is arranged inside the traction rope 5, the traction rope 5 is a multi-strand woven steel wire rope, an internal wire passage is reserved, the power supply line 12 passes through the passage, one end is connected with the power supply 10, and the other end is connected with the power supply interface of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 6. Scheme two: the power supply line 12 is arranged below the unmanned aerial vehicle, one end is connected at the bottom of the experience cabin 7, and the other end is connected with the power supply 10 on the ground. Both the two schemes can realize continuous power supply.

[0018] The infrared distance sensor 13 is installed at the bottom center of the experience cabin 7, adopts an infrared distance measuring module, a signal output end of the infrared distance sensor 13 is connected with the control system of the electric hoist 4 through a signal control line in the traction rope 5, or is directly arranged and connected to the control system of the electric hoist 4. When the experience cabin 7 is lowered to 5 cm from the ground, the infrared distance sensor 13 senses the ground signal, transmits the signal to the control system, the control system controls the electric hoist 4 to gradually slow down, and the electric hoist 4 immediately locks the traction rope 5 when the experience cabin 7 contacts the ground.

[0019] In actual operation, first, the experimenter 8 is guided into the experience cabin 7, and the experimenter 8 is helped to fasten the safety belt and wear the safety helmet (the intercom device 9 is turned on). The staff starts the electric hoist 4 through the ground control system, the electric hoist 4 slowly winds the traction rope 5, and the traction rope 5 is tensioned. At this time, the tension sensor 11 monitors the tension of the traction rope 5, so that the tension is maintained between 10N and 20N, so that the traction rope 5 is in a tensioned state, and it is ensured that the tension is insufficient to lift the total weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle body 6, the experience cabin 7 and the experimenter 8; Subsequently, the unmanned aerial vehicle is started, the unmanned aerial vehicle generates upward lift, when the tension sensor 11 senses that the tension of the traction rope 5 is reduced to within 10N, the ground control system controls the electric hoist 4 to slowly release the traction rope 5, so that the tension of the traction rope 5 is between 1N and 10N, so that the unmanned aerial vehicle can freely fly within a certain range, and the traction rope is always kept in a tensioned state during flight. The experimenter 8 can communicate with the ground control personnel through the intercom device 9, and adjust the flight height and direction; If the unmanned aerial vehicle fails during flight, when the deflection angle in the pitch or roll direction is greater than or equal to 30°, or the lift is insufficient and suddenly descends at a speed greater than 3 m / s, the electric hoist is automatically locked (at this time, the tension of the traction rope is greater than the total weight of the unmanned aerial vehicle), so that the unmanned aerial vehicle hovers in the air or swings in the air without descending, to prevent the unmanned aerial vehicle from falling. After locking for 3 seconds, the electric hoist is automatically released at a slow speed (the speed is less than or equal to 1 m / s), until the tension sensed is less than or equal to 20N, the electric hoist is locked, so as to ensure that the experimenter can safely exit the cabin.

[0020] Normally, when the flight experience is over, the ground control personnel informs the experimenter 8 to prepare for landing through the intercom device 9, controls the unmanned aerial vehicle to gradually descend, and at the same time, the electric hoist 4 cooperates to relax the traction rope 5. When the experience cabin 7 contacts the ground, the infrared distance sensor 13 triggers the electric hoist 4 to lock the traction rope 5, the staff opens the door of the experience cabin 7, and assists the experimenter 8 to leave.

[0021] The hoist suspension type experience manned flight amusement equipment of the embodiment realizes the goals of stable endurance and high safety through reasonable structural design and precise control logic, and can provide high-quality and safe flight experience for the experimenter.
