Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of amusement equipment, in particular to a spinning cup and a disco. [Background technology]

[0002] A forward and reverse amusement seat is disclosed in a Chinese patent (CN 205073657 U), which includes: a base, which is driven to rotate forward and reverse in the horizontal direction by a base rotating motor; a turntable support frame and a turntable are arranged on the base; seats with a plurality of seats are arranged on the turntable, and the seats are fixedly mounted on the turntable surface; a lifting bracket, one end of which is connected to the turntable through a turntable seat, and the other end is hinged to the turntable support frame of the base through a swing shaft; a turntable rotating motor for driving the turntable to rotate on the turntable seat; a lifting mechanism for driving the turntable to lift and tilt, the lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic system and a hydraulic cylinder, which is connected between the lifting bracket and the base. In the disclosed patent, the lifting mechanism drives the lifting bracket to lift, tilt and swing around the swing shaft, thereby driving the turntable seat, the turntable and the seats on the turntable on the lifting bracket to lift and swing together. The disclosed patent has the following defects:

[0003] 1. When the seat is swinging, the lifting mechanism drives the lifting bracket to lift, tilt and swing around the swing axis, thereby driving the turntable seat, turntable and seat on the lifting bracket to lift and swing together. The baseline of the seat swing is the horizontal swing baseline, and the movement effect achieved is lifting, tilting and swinging; due to this movement effect, tourists sitting on the seat will experience very serious up and down bumps, making tourists feel extremely uncomfortable when sitting on it;

[0004] 2. The base line for the seat to swing is a horizontal swing base line, and the seat has only one degree of freedom to swing up and down relative to the base. Therefore, the so-called fun and excitement for tourists are greatly reduced.

[0005] 3. The lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic system and a hydraulic cylinder, or a structure driven by a motor; the lifting structure is complex and has a high manufacturing cost; if one of the driving components fails, the entire lifting mechanism cannot operate normally, which will affect the passenger flow of the amusement park. [Summary of the invention]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a spring-type tumbler amusement facility with a buffering effect, the ability to shake at any angle and a simple structure.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A spring-type tumbler amusement facility comprises a small turntable, on which at least one seat capable of rotating relative to the small turntable is arranged; a vertical rotating shaft seat for the seat to rotate around is arranged on the small turntable; when the seat is stationary on the small turntable, the vertical center line of the seat is roughly perpendicular to the small turntable, and at this time, the vertical center line is a vertical stationary center line A; a swing mechanism capable of making the seat swing with the vertical stationary center line A as a swing reference line is also arranged on the small turntable, and when the seat moves, a constantly changing angle α is formed between the vertical rotating shaft seat and the vertical stationary center line A; the swing mechanism comprises a spring and a fixed seat fixed at the lower end of the vertical rotating shaft seat, the upper end of the spring is fixedly connected to the fixed seat, and the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the small turntable.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, it is further defined as: a safety shaft penetrating through the spring is provided in the middle of the lower end of the fixing seat, and the lower end of the safety shaft is hinged to the small turntable.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, it is further defined as: a accommodating cavity with an upper opening is provided on the small turntable, the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the accommodating cavity, the lower end of the safety shaft is hinged to the bottom of the accommodating cavity, and the seat base is located above the opening of the accommodating cavity.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, it is further defined as: a limiting mechanism is provided on the seat for limiting the swing amplitude of the seat, the maximum safe swing angle between the rotation axis of the seat and the vertical plane is β°, and when the swing angle of the seat is greater than β°, the limiting mechanism abuts against the upper surface of the small turntable.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1. When tourists sit on the seats, the seats rotate relative to the small turntable. Due to the buffering effect of the spring, the seats will not bounce up and down like the seats in the prior art when they swing, and tourists will experience excellent comfort;

[0014] 2. When rotating, since there is no limit to the freedom of the spring, the seat can shake at any angle relative to the small turntable under the action of centrifugal force, which can satisfy tourists with better fun and excitement.

[0015] 3. The structure driven by the motor in the prior art is omitted, and the swinging or shaking motion effect can be achieved only by the spring. The structure created by the present invention is simpler, has a low manufacturing cost, and can better meet the market demand.

[0021] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0022] As attached Figure 1 To Attachment Figure 3 As shown, a spring-type tumbler amusement facility comprises a small turntable, on which at least one seat 3 capable of rotating relative to the small turntable is arranged; on the small turntable 2, a vertical rotating shaft seat 30 for the seat 3 to rotate around is arranged; when the seat 3 is stationary on the small turntable 2, the vertical center line of the seat 3 is roughly perpendicular to the small turntable 2, and at this time, the vertical center line is the vertical stationary center line A; on the small turntable 2, a swing mechanism 20 capable of swinging the seat 3 with the vertical stationary center line A as the swing reference line is also arranged, and when the seat 3 moves, the vertical rotating shaft seat 30 is aligned with the vertical center line A. A constantly changing angle α is formed between the static center line A; the swing mechanism 20 includes a spring 4 and a fixing seat 31 fixed at the lower end of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30, the upper end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 31, and the lower end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the small turntable 2. The bottom of the seat created by the present invention is connected to the small turntable through a spring, and the spring can not only support the seat, but also play a buffering role; in the process of the seat rotating relative to the small turntable, the seat is under the action of centrifugal force to achieve a swinging effect. Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. When tourists sit on the seats, the seats rotate relative to the small turntable. Due to the buffering effect of the spring, the seats will not bounce up and down like the seats in the prior art when they swing, and tourists will experience excellent comfort;

[0024] 2. When rotating, since there is no limit to the freedom of the spring, the seat can shake at any angle relative to the small turntable under the action of centrifugal force, which can satisfy tourists with better fun and excitement.

[0025] 3. The structure driven by the motor in the prior art is omitted, and the swinging or shaking motion effect can be achieved only by the spring. The structure created by the present invention is simpler, the manufacturing cost is low, and it can better meet the market demand.

[0026] In this embodiment, in order to enhance the safety performance of the invention, a safety shaft 5 passing through the spring 4 is provided in the middle of the lower end of the fixed seat 31, and the lower end of the safety shaft 5 is hinged to the small turntable 2. If the elasticity of the spring fails or breaks, the safety shaft can support the seat so that the seat does not fall over, thereby ensuring the personal safety of tourists.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the rocking mechanism on the small turntable 2 so that the seat can swing relative to the small turntable, the small turntable 2 is provided with a accommodating cavity 6 with an upper end opening, the lower end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 6, the lower end of the safety shaft 5 is hinged to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 6, and the base of the seat 3 is located above the opening of the accommodating cavity 6.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to further enhance the safety performance of the invention, a limiting mechanism 7 is provided on the seat 3 for limiting the swing amplitude of the seat 3. When the maximum safe swing angle between the rotation axis of the seat 3 and the vertical plane is β°, when the swing angle of the seat 3 is greater than β°, that is, when the swing or shaking angle of the seat 3 exceeds the set safety angle β°, the limiting mechanism 7 contacts the upper surface of the small turntable 2. The limiting mechanism can limit the swing or shaking amplitude of the seat from being too large, thereby further ensuring personal safety.
