Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of walking tools, in particular to a walking machine capable of climbing slopes and turning. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of the quality of life, traveling has become very common. Now most scenic spots and public areas need to be visited by walking. Therefore, you need to have good physical strength to visit more scenic spots when traveling. For some middle-aged and elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet, if the walking distance in the scenic area is too long, it will inevitably affect the travel experience. Especially for some scenic spots that require a lot of mountain climbing, many people will choose to climb less or simply not go because they can't keep up with the physical strength. Some scenic spots are equipped with cable cars, but when the cable cars go up and down, the scenery in the middle cannot be seen. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a small footprint, which can be set on the trail without affecting pedestrians going up and down, so that tourists can take an escalator when they are tired, and at the same time do not affect the beautiful scenery along the way. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a walking machine capable of climbing slopes and turning, so as to solve the problem that a lot of walking is required in scenic spots or other outdoor public places, which consumes a lot of physical energy and affects the experience of tourists.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a climbing and turning walking machine, including fixed brackets arranged on both sides of the road or in the middle of the road, a chain transmission device installed on the fixed bracket, and a human body supporting component fixed on the chain transmission device and moving with the chain transmission device.

[0005] Furthermore, the transmission device includes a side bending chain, a driving sprocket and a driven sprocket for driving the side bending chain to rotate, and a power source for driving the driving sprocket to rotate, and the human body supporting component is fixedly installed on the side bending chain.

[0006] In order to ensure the smoothness of the side bending chain conveying and facilitate the adjustment of the conveying direction, the side bending chain includes a chain plate, a connecting block and a fixed pin shaft for connecting the chain plate and the connecting block, and the human body support component is fixedly installed on the chain plate; both ends of the fixed pin shaft extend out of the chain plate, and guide wheels that can rotate around the fixed pin shaft are arranged at both ends of the fixed pin shaft, and guide rails compatible with the guide wheels are laid on the road.

[0007] Specifically, the guide rail is a U-shaped guide rail, and the guide wheel includes a small diameter end inserted into the guide rail, an adjustment cone resting on the end surface of the guide rail, and a large diameter end located outside the guide rail. The small diameter end is clearance-matched with the guide rail, and a rolling bearing is arranged between the guide wheel and the fixed pin shaft.

[0008] As another form of cooperation between the guide rail and the guide wheel, the guide rail is a U-shaped guide rail, the guide wheel is a rolling bearing installed on a fixed pin shaft, and a runout gap is set between the guide wheel and the guide rail.

[0009] As an arrangement of the side bending chain, the side bending chain rotates in the vertical direction of the road and is a single-sided transmission structure.

[0010] As another arrangement of the side bending chain, the side bending chain rotates in the horizontal direction of the road, forming a bidirectional conveying structure from one side of the road to the other side.

[0011] Preferably, the human body supporting component comprises a group of supporting plates for the human body to stand on.

[0012] To facilitate passengers getting on and off and to prevent them from stepping on empty space, each of the support plates is provided for one person to stand on, and the support plates are arranged side by side and continuously.

[0013] In order to ensure the tightness of the connection and improve the waterproofness of the conveyor chain below, one end of the support plate is provided with an upwardly raised flange, and the other end is provided with an upwardly protruding U-shaped buckle. The U-shaped buckle on the support plate overlaps with the flange on the adjacent support plate and a matching gap is provided between them.

[0014] In order to improve the standing stability of passengers, avoid tipping over due to equipment vibration, and improve safety, a handrail is also provided on one side of the supporting plate.

[0015] In order to improve the load-bearing capacity of the side bending chain, the connecting block is a connecting block with an "∞"-shaped structure.

[0016] In order to save power output, the height of the driving sprocket is not lower than that of the driven sprocket.

[0017] In order to facilitate the upper and lower conveying devices, a movable handrail which can be supported on the supporting flat plate and can be removed from the supporting flat plate is also provided.

[0018] Beneficial effects of the present invention: The present invention can effectively save tourists' physical strength when traveling by setting a walking machine that can climb and turn on the road in the scenic area to replace walking. The device adopts a side-bending chain conveying structure, which has the advantages of small size and the ability to turn and go up and down ramps. Especially for some mountain scenic spots, it is set on both sides of the staircase trail, occupies less stair width, and does not affect the ups and downs of walking tourists. Tourists standing on this device can not only save the effort of climbing, but also take pictures and enjoy the scenery along the way. The matching structure of the support plate and the handrail can improve the stability of the ride, and at the same time, it is convenient to get on and off, and the risk factor is low. The matching structure of the side-bending chain, the guide rail and the support plate occupies a small area and runs smoothly, can achieve climbing and turning, and has a wide range of applications.

[0030] A walking machine that can climb slopes and turn, mainly set up in places with concentrated traffic such as scenic spots, parks, squares, especially ramps and places with stairs; used to replace walking, relieve walking fatigue, and reduce physical expenditure. The device includes a fixed bracket 1 set on both sides of the road or in the middle of the road, a chain transmission device 2 installed on the fixed bracket 1, and a human body support component 3 fixed on the chain transmission device 2 and moving with the chain transmission device 2. The speed of the chain transmission device 2 is controlled at 5-15 kilometers per hour and can be adjusted. Tourists can get on and off conveniently and can ride on it to enjoy the scenery along the way. Thereby improving the experience of tourists. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 5As shown, a walking machine capable of climbing and turning includes a group of columns 10 arranged at intervals on both sides of a scenic road, and a handrail 9 installed on the column 10 and extending along the road direction. In order to improve the synchronization of the handrail 9, a handrail belt that runs synchronously with a chain transmission device 2 can be arranged on the handrail 9. A horizontally arranged fixed bracket 1 is installed on the column 10, and a guide rail 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed bracket 1. A side bending chain 201 is arranged on the fixed bracket 1. The side bending chain 201 goes up from the right side of the road, then turns to the left side of the road, goes down from the left side, and then turns back to the right side of the road to form a closed-loop conveying chain. A driving sprocket 202 and a power source that drives the driving sprocket 202 to rotate are arranged at the turning position above, which is not marked in the figure. The preferred driving motor is not marked in the power source figure. A reducer is also arranged between the driving motor and the driving sprocket 202, and the running speed of the side bending chain 201 is adjusted by the reducer and the driving motor. The driving sprocket 202 is set at a high position, and the entire side bending chain 201 is pulled to rotate, which is more labor-saving than setting it at a lower place to push the side bending chain to run. A driven sprocket 203 is set at the turning position below. The driving sprocket 202 and the driven sprocket 203 are set below the ground, and a cover plate 14 is laid on them to facilitate tourists to walk. The height of the cover plate 14 is equivalent to the height of the stairs, ensuring that it does not affect the walking of normal people. The driving sprocket 202 and the driven sprocket 203 can also be lifted up, turning from above the pedestrians, and the pedestrians pass from below.

[0032] The side bending chain 201 includes a chain plate 2011, a connecting block 2012 and a fixed pin 2013 for connecting the chain plate 2011 and the connecting block 2012. Here, the "∞"-shaped side bending chain produced by our company is selected, which has the advantages of high strength and large bearing capacity. Specifically, it includes two left and right chain plates 2011 and a connecting block 2012 with an "∞"-shaped structure with one end arranged between the two left and right chain plates 2011. The fixed pin 2013 passes through the connecting block 2012 with the "∞"-shaped structure and is fixedly connected to the chain plate 2011. The connecting block 2012 can swing up and down, forward and backward, left and right relative to the fixed pin 2013, thereby realizing the change of direction of the entire conveying chain during conveying.

[0033] The human body support component 3 is a group of support plates 8 for human body standing fixedly mounted on the chain plate 2011. The support plates 8 run close to the ground as long as they do not interfere with the ground. In addition, the conveying speed of the entire conveying device is relatively slow, so passengers can get on and off very conveniently. The size of the support plates 8 is based on the standing of one person and the support plates 8 are arranged side by side and continuously, with movement gaps reserved between each other to avoid interference. In order to better protect the side bending chain below and prevent rain from directly pouring on the side bending chain, one end of the support plate 8 is provided with an upwardly tilted flange 801, and the other end is provided with an upwardly protruding U-shaped buckle 802. The U-shaped buckle 802 on the support plate 8 overlaps and cooperates with the flange 801 on the adjacent support plate 8 and is provided with a matching gap between each other. This structure can ensure the waterproofness of the side bending chain 201 below, and when turning, they can be separated from each other without being affected. When tourists are tired of climbing, they can stand on the support plate 8 very conveniently, put one hand on the handrail 9, and enjoy the beautiful scenery while walking. In order to ensure that tourists have sufficient friction when standing, especially when going uphill and downhill, to ensure the stability of standing, the support plate 8 is also provided with an anti-slip structure. The anti-slip structure can be made into a rough surface of the support plate 8, or a layer of anti-slip mat can be placed on the support plate 8.

[0034] In order to ensure the stability of the side bending chain 201 and facilitate synchronous turning at the turning point of the stairs, the two ends of the fixed pin shaft 2013 extend out of the chain plate 2011, and the two ends of the fixed pin shaft 2013 are provided with guide wheels 4 that can rotate around the fixed pin shaft 2013. The guide wheels 4 cooperate with the guide rail 5 to ensure the stability of the support plate 8, and control the side bending chain 201 to run along the guide rail 5, including hillsides, downhills and turns. The specific matching structure is: the guide rail 5 is designed as a U-shaped structure, the guide wheel 4 includes a small diameter end 401 installed in the guide rail 5, an adjustment cone 402 resting on the end face of the guide rail 5 and a large diameter end 403 located outside the guide rail 5, the small diameter end 401 is in clearance with the guide rail 5, and a rolling bearing 6 is provided between the guide wheel 4 and the fixed pin shaft 2013. When the side bending chain 201 turns left, the adjustment cone 402 of the left guide wheel 4 squeezes the end of the left guide rail 5, relying on the friction pressure between them to ensure that the side bending chain 201 rotates in the direction designed by the guide rail 5. When the side bending chain 201 turns right, the right guide rail 5 interacts with the right guide wheel 4, and the side bending chain 201 synchronously performs adaptive adjustment to ensure the stability of the turn. In order to further facilitate the elderly to get on and off, a movable handrail 11 is also provided, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the support plate 8 is made of magnetic material, a magnetic suction cup 1101 is arranged at the bottom of the movable handrail 11, and a switch 1102 for controlling the magnetic force of the magnetic suction cup is arranged at the upper hand-held position of the handrail 11. When tourists go up, they can first suck the support plate 8 through the movable handrail 11, and stand on the support plate 8 with the help of force. When they want to go down, they press the switch on the movable handrail 11, and the magnetism of the magnetic suction cup 1101 disappears. Then, the movable handrail 11 is removed from the support plate 8 and placed on the ground to provide support for the people coming down to prevent them from falling when getting off.

[0035] Embodiment 2: A walking machine capable of climbing a slope and turning, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it includes a group of columns 10 arranged at intervals on both sides of the scenic road, and a handrail 9 installed on the columns 10 and extending in the direction of the road. A horizontally arranged fixed bracket 1 is installed on the column 10, and a guide rail 5 is fixedly installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the fixed bracket 1. A side bending chain 201 is arranged on the fixed bracket 1, and the side bending chain 201 enters from the guide rail 5 above the fixed bracket 1, exits from the guide rail 5 below the fixed bracket 1, and then returns to the upper guide rail 5, thereby forming a one-way conveying closed loop structure. Two one-way conveying closed loop structures can be set on the road, one for carrying passengers upward and the other for carrying passengers downward. It is also possible to select a bidirectional drive motor that is not marked in the power source diagram, and change the conveying direction of the side bending chain 201 by opening a control driving motor to turn. In order to avoid the support plate 8 running at the same inclination angle as the slope when going up and down the slope, and standing directly on it is more laborious, an adjustment plate 12 can be set on the support plate 8, and the adjustment plate 12 makes the sole of the foot basically in a horizontal state, thereby improving the comfort of riding. The adjustment plate 12 can be a structure fixedly mounted on the support plate 8, or an adjustable structure, such as one end of the adjustment plate 12 is hinged at the middle position of the support plate 8, and a pressure spring 13 is arranged between the other end and the support plate 8, and the adjustment plate 12 is driven to rotate around the hinge by the body's own weight and force position to achieve adaptive adjustment of the angle of the adjustment plate 12. For example, when going uphill, the height of the rear should be raised by the adjustment plate 12 to make it equal to the front height of the support plate 8; when going downhill, the height of the front should be raised by the adjustment plate 12. Others are the same as in Example 1.

[0036] Embodiment 3: A walking machine capable of climbing a slope and turning, such as Fig. 9 and Fig.10As shown, it includes a group of columns 10 arranged at intervals on both sides of the scenic road or in the middle of the road, and a handrail 9 installed on the column 10 and extending along the road direction. A horizontally arranged fixed bracket 1 is installed on the column 10, and two guide rails 5 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed bracket 1. The guide rail 5 is a U-shaped guide rail, and the bottoms of the two guide rails 5 are connected together to form a whole. The guide wheel 4 is a rolling bearing 6 installed on a fixed pin shaft 2013, and a runout gap 7 is set between the guide wheel 4 and the guide rail 5. When the guide rail 5 turns left, the guide wheel 4 on the left side presses down on the lower edge of the left guide rail 5, and the guide wheel 4 on the right side is lifted up to act on the upper edge of the right guide rail 5. At the same time, the side bending chain 201 performs adaptive adjustment to ensure the stability and smoothness of operation. The rest is the same as embodiment 1 or 2.

[0037] The present invention is described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned methods. As long as various non-substantial improvements are made using the method concept and technical solution of the present invention; or the above concept and technical solution of the present invention are directly applied to other occasions without improvement, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
