Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of maglev technology, and particularly to an ejectable rail-type maglev bumper car system. Background Art

[0002] Traditional bumper cars generally use batteries or contact wires for power supply to drive wheeled cars to collide with each other. Wheeled bumper cars have large frictional resistance, consume a lot of electricity, and have high operating costs. To reduce frictional resistance, air-cushion bumper cars have emerged on the market. The air-cushion principle used in air-cushion bumper cars is similar to the maglev principle, enabling the bumper cars to be separated from the ground during movement and generating suspension, which can both increase speed and reduce noise, and reduce a lot of resistance compared to traditional wheeled bumper cars. However, in order to form an air cushion, the added air compressor consumes a large amount of electricity, and the operating cost is higher than that of wheeled bumper cars. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an ejectable rail-type maglev bumper car system for the above technical problems.

[0015] In one embodiment, the control platform includes: a driving device and a contactor; when the control platform controls the contactor to be energized, the electromagnet is energized, generating a suction force on the magnetic metal block and compressing the ejection component, and when the control platform controls the contactor to be de-energized, the electromagnet is de-energized, and the ejection component releases, generating an ejection force on the bumper car.

[0016] In one embodiment, the driving device is a driving device that can output different current magnitudes, and the control platform controls the energization time of the contactor through a timer.

[0022] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0023] In one embodiment, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a catapult-type guide-rail maglev bumper car system is provided, including: a bumper car 100 and a catapult device 200.

[0024] The catapult devices 200 are respectively installed on both sides of the guide rail; the bumper car 100 includes: a bumper car body, a maglev module 120, and magnetic metal blocks 130 installed on both sides in the moving direction of the bumper car; the bumper car 100 runs on the guide rail; the catapult device 200 includes: a catapult component 210, an electromagnet 220, and a control platform 230; the maglev module 120 is used to realize the suspension of the bumper car 100; when the control platform 230 controls the electromagnet 220 to be energized, it generates a suction force on the magnetic metal block 130 and compresses the catapult component 210, and when the control platform 230 controls the electromagnet 220 to be de-energized, the catapult component 210 is released to generate a catapult force on the bumper car 100.

[0025] In the above catapult-type guide-rail maglev bumper car system, the bumper car runs on the guide rail, and the maglev module is used to realize the suspension of the bumper car, thereby reducing the resistance of the bumper car and reducing noise. By arranging catapult devices on both sides of the guide rail, a catapult force is generated by the catapult devices, with low power consumption and low operating cost.

[0026] It should be noted that there can be multiple guide rails in the catapult-type guide-rail maglev bumper car system, and the bumper car can switch and run on multiple guide rails, and catapult devices are installed on both sides of the guide rail. Therefore, according to actual needs, multiple guide rails can be set, and multiple bumper cars can run on multiple guide rails. The operation between the bumper cars is controlled by the catapult devices to control the operation of the bumper cars on different guide rails to avoid mutual collision.

[0027] In one embodiment, the maglev module includes: a vehicle-mounted battery, a suspension controller, and a suspension electromagnet; the suspension controller realizes the suspension of the bumper car by controlling the vehicle-mounted battery to supply power to the suspension electromagnet.

[0028] In this embodiment, since the power is supplied by the vehicle-mounted battery, the bumper car has no contact with the guide rail, and compared with the power supply method using a current collection rail and a current collector, the friction is smaller.

[0029] In one embodiment, the magnetic metal block is an iron block. In this embodiment, the magnetic metal block is attracted to the energized electromagnet, and an iron block can be selected to reduce costs.

[0030] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the catapult component includes a contact plate and a spring; the contact plate is used to contact the magnetic metal block of the bumper car; when the control platform controls the electromagnet to be energized, it generates a suction force on the magnetic metal block and compresses the spring, and when the control platform controls the electromagnet to be de-energized, the spring is released to generate a catapult force on the bumper car.

[0031] In another embodiment, the control platform includes: a driving device and a contactor; when the control platform controls the contactor to be energized, the electromagnet is energized, generating a suction force on the magnetic metal block and compressing the ejection component. When the control platform controls the contactor to be de-energized, the electromagnet is de-energized, and the ejection component is released, generating an ejection force on the bumper car.

[0032] Specifically, the driving device is a driving device that can output different magnitudes of current, and the control platform controls the energization time of the contactor through a timer. By controlling the magnitude of the current and the energization time of the contactor, the collision experience of the passengers can be enhanced.

[0033] In addition, the ejection devices on both sides of the guide rail are independently arranged, that is, through different programming methods, different movement modes of the bumper car can be realized, further enhancing the collision experience of the passengers.

[0034] In one of the embodiments, the bumper car further includes: an energy converter; the energy converter is connected to the vehicle-mounted battery and the suspension controller; the vehicle-mounted battery is used to supply power to the suspension control module through the energy converter, or to receive the energy fed back by the suspension control module through the energy converter.

[0035] Specifically, the energy converter may include a chopper module and a filter module. The chopper module is used for boost chopping or buck chopping; the filter module is used for filtering operations.

[0036] In summary, the catapult-type guide-rail maglev bumper car system in this embodiment has the following technical effects:

[0037] 1) By adopting the catapult-type guide-rail maglev bumper car system of the present invention embodiment, the wheel and the air cushion device of the vehicle body can be cancelled, greatly reducing the project construction cost, streamlining the vehicle structure, greatly reducing the later maintenance cost, and reducing the energy loss.

[0038] (2) The suspension controller is powered by the vehicle-mounted battery, canceling the current collection rail and the current collector, making the maglev bumper car completely frictionless, saving energy, and being more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0039] (3) Using a spring ejection device instead of a linear motor traction significantly reduces the cost and saves energy consumption.

[0040] (4) Since there is no need to equip an external power supply system, it is beneficial to the construction layout of the maglev bumper cars at each amusement site, making the line selection more flexible.

[0041] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present application. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the appended claims.
