Description

[Technical field]

[0002] The invention relates to the technical field of a Ferris wheel and a Ferris wheel cabin, in particular to a balancing cabin for a Ferris wheel. [Background technology]

[0004] There are many types of Ferris wheels in the world, but there are only two types of equipment cabins: one is a hanging cabin and the other is a balance cabin. The cabins in the prior art have the following disadvantages:

[0005] 1. Poor vision affects the passengers’ experience;

[0006] 2. Poor comfort due to unbalanced loading. When one side is heavier, the cabin will tilt severely, seriously affecting the comfort of passengers.

[0007] 3. The load is relatively small, and the number of passengers needs to be strictly controlled. The passenger flow cannot be increased, which will affect the equipment turnover;

[0008] 4. The installation requires the addition of a hanging structure with a turntable, which has a complex structure and high equipment cost.

[0009] As for the traditional balance tank, it has the following disadvantages:

[0010] 1. The high cost makes many buyers give up purchasing the balance cabin Ferris wheel;

[0011] 2. Traditional balance tanks generally adopt single-ring or double-ring types, but both single-ring and double-ring types require a slewing bearing to realize the rotation of the balance tank. The equipment eccentric load needs to consider the resistance of the slewing bearing, and the design requirements are difficult;

[0012] 3. When the slewing bearing is damaged, the entire balance cabin needs to be dismantled for replacement. The replacement of the slewing bearing is relatively complicated and difficult. In addition, the cost of the slewing bearing is relatively high, generally around 50,000 yuan, and the maintenance cost is high.
