[0038] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0039] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, a tumbler-type amusement facility is applied to a spinning cup, comprising a small turntable 2, on which is arranged at least one seat 3 which can rotate relative to the small turntable 2; a vertical rotating shaft seat 30 for the seat 3 to rotate around is arranged on the small turntable 2; 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; a swing mechanism 20 is also arranged on the small turntable 2, which can make the seat 3 swing with the vertical stationary center line A as the swing reference line, and a constantly changing angle α is formed between the vertical rotating shaft seat 30 and the vertical stationary center line A when the seat 3 moves; on the basis of the traditional spinning cup rotation function, a tumbler-type swinging function is added, so that a new way of playing that rotates and swings at the same time is realized, thereby greatly increasing the fun and excitement of the spinning cup, and meeting the entertainment needs of young people who like excitement and new ways of playing. In this embodiment, there are three implementation modes of the swing mechanism 20. The first implementation mode is a guide rail type, the second implementation mode is a lateral push type, and the third implementation mode is a spring type.

[0040] As attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the rocking mechanism 20 adopting a guide rail structure is shown. Specifically, the rocking mechanism 20 includes an arcuate guide rail 4 fixed on the small turntable 2 and a sliding device 5 arranged at the lower end of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30 and sliding along the arcuate guide rail 4. When the seat 3 rotates or is unbalanced, the sliding device 5 slides back and forth along the arcuate guide rail 4 so that the seat 3 rocks back and forth like a tumbler.

[0041] In this embodiment, the sliding device 5 includes a fixing frame 51 fixedly connected to the vertical rotating shaft seat 30 and a wheel train assembly hinged on the fixing frame 51. The wheel train assembly includes a plurality of upper wheels slidably connected to the upper end of the arc-shaped guide rail 4, and a plurality of lower wheels slidably connected to the lower end of the arc-shaped guide rail 4. An arc-shaped sliding space for the arc-shaped guide rail 4 to pass through is formed between the upper wheels and the lower wheels. The upper wheels and the lower wheels are closely attached to the arc-shaped guide rail 4 so that the seat 3 can slide on the arc-shaped guide rail 4 more stably, effectively preventing the seat 3 from tipping over, and having high safety.

[0042] In order to further improve the stability of the rocking of the seat 3, the wheel train assembly includes a plurality of side wheels slidably connected to the side ends of the arc-shaped guide rail 4, and the upper wheel, the lower wheel and the side wheel are used to limit the position in three directions, so as to improve safety.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are two arc-shaped guide rails 4, which are arranged side by side in the front and back, and the wheel train components are arranged in two groups accordingly. The double-track type is more stable and safer than the single-track type. Furthermore, the fixing frame 51 is composed of two frames arranged in the front and back in an eight-shaped shape, which can adapt to the curvature of the track, and there are 4 upper wheels, 4 lower wheels, and 4 side wheels.

[0044] As attached Figure 5 To Attachment Figure 7 The swing mechanism 20 shown adopts a lateral push type, and the swing mechanism 20 includes a lateral push device 6 that is horizontally arranged between the small turntable 2 and the vertical rotating shaft seat 30, and the lateral push device 6 has a fixed end 61 and a telescopic end 62, wherein the fixed end 61 is fixedly connected to the small turntable 2, and the telescopic end 62 is hinged to the vertical rotating shaft seat 30. The lateral push device 6 can adopt a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, and an oil cylinder in the prior art. In this embodiment, three lateral push type embodiments are provided, wherein the lateral push device 6 of the first embodiment is set to one; the lateral push device 6 of the second embodiment is set to two and distributed up and down on the same side of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30; and the lateral push device 6 of the third embodiment is set to two and distributed left and right on both sides of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30.

[0045] As attached Figure 5 The horizontal push device 6 is provided as one, and the vertical rotating shaft seat 30 has a first hinge portion 301 and a second hinge portion 302, wherein the first hinge portion 301 is hinged to the small rotating disk 2; the second hinge portion 302 is hinged to the telescopic end 62, and the first hinge portion 301 and the second hinge portion 302 are distributed along the axial direction of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30. The horizontal push device 6 pushes the vertical rotating shaft seat 30 to rotate around the hinge axis of the first hinge portion 301 and the small rotating disk 2, thereby realizing the reciprocating swing of the seat 3.

[0046] As attached Figure 6 As shown, there are two lateral pushing devices 6, which are located on the same side of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30 and distributed along the axial direction of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30. The fixed end 61 of one lateral pushing device 6 is fixedly connected to the small rotating disk 2, and the telescopic end 62 is hinged to the vertical rotating shaft seat 30; the fixed end 61 of the other lateral pushing device 6 is fixedly connected to the small rotating disk 2, and the telescopic end 62 is hinged to the vertical rotating shaft seat 30. When one of the two lateral pushing devices 6 is extended, the other is retracted, thereby realizing the reciprocating swing of the seat 3, and the structure is simple.

[0047] As attached Figure 7As shown, there are two lateral pushing devices 6, which are located on both sides of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30, wherein the fixed end 61 of one lateral pushing device 6 is fixedly connected to the small rotating disk 2, and the telescopic end 62 is hinged to the vertical rotating shaft seat 30; the fixed end 61 of the other lateral pushing device 6 is fixedly connected to the small rotating disk 2, and the telescopic end 62 is hinged to the vertical rotating shaft seat 30. When one of the two lateral pushing devices 6 is extended, the other is retracted, thereby realizing the reciprocating swing of the seat 3, and the structure is simple.

[0048] As attached Figure 8 The swing mechanism 20 shown is a spring type, comprising a spring 7 and a fixing seat 31 fixed at the lower end of the vertical rotating shaft seat 30, the upper end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the fixing seat 31, and the lower end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the small turntable 2; when the small turntable 2 drives the seat 3 to rotate or the seat 3 rotates, centrifugal force is generated, so that the spring bends and deforms in the direction of the centrifugal force, and the spring also generates a reaction force to make the seat 3 swing continuously. The spring 7 also plays a role in supporting the seat 3.

[0049] When a tourist sits on the seat 3, the seat 3 rotates relative to the small turntable 2. Due to the buffering effect of the spring 7, the seat 3 will not bump up and down when swinging like in the prior art, and the tourist will experience excellent comfort; when rotating, because 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 the tourists with better fun and excitement. In addition, the swing mechanism 20 adopts a spring type to eliminate the structure driven by the motor in the prior art, and the swing 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 needs of the market.

[0050] In this embodiment, in order to enhance the safety performance of the invention, a safety shaft 8 passing through the spring 7 is provided in the middle of the lower end of the fixed seat 31, and the lower end of the safety shaft 8 is hinged to the small turntable 2. If the elasticity of the spring fails or breaks, the safety shaft can support the seat 3 so that the seat 3 does not fall over, thereby ensuring the personal safety of tourists.

[0051] 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 9 with an upper end opening, the lower end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 9, the lower end of the safety shaft 8 is hinged to the bottom of the accommodating cavity 9, and the base of the seat 3 is located above the opening of the accommodating cavity 9.

[0052] In this embodiment, in order to further enhance the safety performance of the invention, a limiting mechanism 10 is provided on the seat 3 for limiting the swing amplitude of the seat 3. 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°, the limiting mechanism 10 abuts against 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.

[0053] As attached Fig. 9 and attached Fig.10 As shown, in this embodiment, the tumbler-style amusement facility also has a second implementation method, including a base and a large turntable 1, and a first driving mechanism for driving the large turntable 1 to rotate is also provided on the base to realize the rotation of the large turntable 1. At least one small turntable 2 shown as shown can rotate relative to the large turntable 1 is provided on the large turntable 1, and a second driving mechanism for driving the small turntable to rotate is provided on the large turntable 1 to realize the rotation of the small turntable. This technical solution is the same as the spinning cup in the prior art, and whether the large turntable 1 needs to be provided can be designed according to actual conditions.
