[0002] As people's living standards improve, entertainment activities become more diverse, and the art of spinning large rings is increasingly popular with the audience. The spinning large rings are acrobatic performances in which acrobats cling to a large ring and use the change in their own center of gravity to make the large ring tilt and rotate on the ground. Due to the friction of the ground and the air resistance, the ring's rotation on the ground will continue to decay and even stop, so the performer needs to constantly apply force to the ring in order to continue to rotate the large ring. Moreover, this type of performance has high requirements for the performers, and performing for a long time will also cause physical exhaustion for the performers.

[0003] The physical model of the ring performance is ring vibration motion, which is the rotation of a circle around its own central axis at a certain angle to the ground and the conical motion of the central axis around a vertical axis perpendicular to the ground and passing through the center point of the ring. The current device cannot realize the long-term rotation of a large ring on the ground, and it is impossible to demonstrate and observe ring vibration motion for a long time.

The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

In order to better illustrate the embodiments of the present invention, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged or reduced, and do not represent the size of actual products. For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions in the drawings may be omitted.

Therefore, the terms describing the position relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 11 The component numbers in the accompanying drawings represent: a ring 1, a driving device 2, a movable counterweight block 3, a counterweight moving rod 4, a balancing counterweight block 5, an elastic unit 6, and a flexible line 7.

[0036] The present invention discloses a periodically excited ring oscillating motion mechanism. The ring oscillating motion mechanism is composed of a ring 1, a driving device 2, a movable counterweight block 3, a counterweight moving rod 4, a balancing counterweight block 5, etc. The overall structural diagram is shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown. The driving device 2 and the balancing weight 5 are symmetrically fixed on the ring 1, so that the center of gravity of the whole is evenly distributed on the ring when it is stationary. The counterweight moving rod 4 has the function of limiting the movement trajectory of the movable counterweight 3. The movable counterweight 3 is controlled to move on the counterweight moving rod 4 by the driving device 2, so as to change the center of gravity of the ring 1 during movement and realize periodic excitation.

[0037] The present invention is a periodically excited ring oscillating motion mechanism, which realizes motion by the change of its center of gravity. The time interval between two contacts between a certain point on the ring and the ground is called a cycle. Figure 3 As shown, during the ring vibration process, the time from when point A contacts the flat ground at a certain moment to the next time point A contacts the flat ground is a ring vibration cycle. During the ring vibration process, the center of gravity change can be stimulated once within N (N=1, 2, 3...) cycles to maintain the ring vibration motion.

[0038] Let us take the case of N = 1 as an example to explain the method of excitation once per cycle and the motion process of the ring oscillation within one cycle. Figure 4 In the state shown, point A touches the ground, and the rotation direction of the ring vibration mechanism is along Figure 4The direction indicated by the arrow is the clockwise direction for ring vibration. In one cycle, points A, B, C, and D are separated by a quarter of a cycle. In the process from point A to point B, the driving device 2 controls the movable counterweight block 3 to move closer to point B. The excitation of the movable counterweight block 3 causes the center of gravity of the whole to move along the rotation direction of the ring, thereby increasing the potential energy of the ring vibration to maintain the ring vibration state. When point B touches the ground, the movable counterweight block 3 moves closer to point B. Figure 5 At this time, the ring vibration continues, and the driving device 2 controls the movable counterweight block 3 to move toward the center point of the ring 1. The center of gravity of the whole body continues along the ring vibration direction. When point C touches the ground, the movable counterweight block 3 moves to the center point of the ring 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 Continue the ring oscillation motion. In the quarter cycle from C to D, since the movable counterweight block 3 is already at the center of the whole, there is no need to move the movable counterweight block 3. At this time, point D touches the ground, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown. The ring vibration mechanism continues to move, and the position of the movable counterweight block 3 remains unchanged until point A touches the ground again, and the ring vibration completes a cycle of motion. This cycle repeats and the ring vibration motion is maintained.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] This example is a ring vibration motion mechanism with a counterweight excited in the diameter direction of a ring 1. The structure is as follows Figure 8 , Fig. 9 As shown. The structure consists of a circular ring 1, a driving winder (driving device 2), a flexible wire 7, a movable counterweight 3, an auxiliary guide rail (counterweight moving rod 4), an elastic unit 6, a balancing counterweight 5, etc. The driving winder and the balancing counterweight 5 are symmetrically installed on the circular ring 1. In a balanced state, the uneven distribution of the center of gravity of the entire mechanism when only the driving winder is present is avoided. When the driving winder is winding, the flexible wire 7 pulls the movable counterweight 3 to slide along the auxiliary guide rail, and will not shake left and right to affect the maintenance of the ring vibration. When the driving winder is reset, due to the action of the elastic unit 6, the movable counterweight 3 is also reset along the auxiliary guide rail. The ring vibration motion is periodic, and correspondingly, the excitation of the movable counterweight 3 is also periodic.

[0041] When the ring vibration mechanism is ring vibrating on the ground, when the driving winder is about to approach the ground, the driving winder winds the flexible wire 7 and pulls the movable counterweight 3 on the auxiliary guide rail to move close to the driving winder, so that the kinetic energy generated by the movable counterweight 3 is consistent with the ring vibration direction, generating a positive excitation effect, thereby compensating for the ring vibration motion attenuation. At this time, the elastic unit 6 is in a stretched state, so as to reset the counterweight next; when the ring vibration reaches the driving winder leaving the ground, the driving winder releases the flexible wire 7, and under the action of the elastic unit 6, the movable counterweight 3 is reset to the center of the ring 1. Such periodic excitation of the counterweight can always maintain the ring vibration state.

[0042] Embodiment 2

[0043] This example is a ring vibration motion mechanism with an excitation counterweight on the ring. Fig.10 , Fig.11 As shown. The structure consists of a circular ring 1, a driving winder (driving device 2), two flexible wires 7, an annular guide rail (counterweight moving rod 4), two movable counterweights 3, two elastic units 6, a balancing counterweight 5, etc. The driving winder and the balancing counterweight 5 are symmetrically mounted on the circular ring 1. In a balanced state, the uneven distribution of the center of gravity of the entire mechanism when only the driving winder is used is avoided. The annular guide rail can limit the movement of the flexible wire 7, the movable counterweight 3, and the elastic unit 6 along the guide rail. When the driving winder is winding, the two flexible wires 7 respectively pull the two movable counterweights 3 to slide along the annular guide rail. When the driving winder is reset, due to the action of the two elastic units 6, the movable counterweight 3 is also reset along the annular guide rail (counterweight moving rod 4). The ring vibration motion is periodic, and correspondingly, the excitation of the movable counterweight 3 is also periodic.

[0044] When the ring vibration mechanism is in ring vibration motion on the ground, the two movable counterweights 3 are pulled periodically when the assembly drive winder is about to approach the ground. The kinetic energy generated by the movable counterweights 3 is consistent with the ring vibration direction, generating a positive excitation effect, thereby compensating for the attenuation of the ring vibration motion. At this time, the two elastic units 6 are in a stretched state to reset the counterweights next; when the ring vibration reaches the driving end and leaves the ground, the drive winder releases the flexible line 7, and under the action of the two elastic units 6, the two movable counterweights 3 are reset to their initial positions. Periodically exciting the counterweights can always maintain the ring vibration state.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
