Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of amusement facility technology, specifically relating to a foot-operated Ferris wheel. Background Technology

[0002] A Ferris wheel is a large, rotating mechanical amusement facility. The cabins are suspended from the edge of the wheel, and passengers sit inside as it slowly rotates upwards, enjoying panoramic views. The Ferris wheel's ascent provides entertainment through the scenery. It is most commonly found in amusement parks. Common Ferris wheels are known for their simple operating principle, ease of use, and comfortable ride. However, just as their operating principle is simple, passengers don't need to participate much in the ride. They simply sit in the cabin, look at the scenery, and exit after a certain number of rotations. This lack of engagement and experiential enjoyment diminishes the overall entertainment value, as passengers gradually lose interest and become bored during the ascent. For example, Chinese Patent CN101912686A discloses a Ferris wheel comprising a Ferris wheel frame, a hollow circular turntable, numerous cabins arranged around the turntable, and several traction cables connecting the turntable. A slewing bearing is installed at each end of a column above the frame and connected to a central crossbeam to form the center of the turntable. A cable reel is mounted on the outer ring of the slewing bearing, and both ends of all traction cables are connected to the cable reel and the turntable, respectively. This Ferris wheel is easy to manufacture, has a reasonable structure, is simple and convenient to install, and has low production costs. However, this Ferris wheel is still based on traditional design concepts and has not undergone substantial improvements. Although this Ferris wheel is easier to install and more economical, its shortcomings of low entertainment value and weak passenger participation still exist. Summary of the Invention

To achieve the goal of saving effort during the operation of the Ferris wheel and increasing the entertainment time, the fifth small sprocket 517 has fewer teeth than the fourth small sprocket 510, achieving the effect of speed reduction and torque increase. Both sprocket 1 (407) and sprocket 2 (415) are mounted on shaft 1 (403). Sprocket 1 (407) and sprocket 2 (415) move together. Sprocket 2 (415) is connected to sprocket 3 (505) via a chain to transmit power. Sprocket 3 (505) and sprocket 4 (510) are both mounted on shaft 2 (503). Sprocket 3 (505) and sprocket 4 (510) move together. Sprocket 4 (510) is connected to sprocket 5 (517) via a chain to transmit power.

[0044] The working principle of a foot-operated Ferris wheel of the present invention is as follows:

[0045] Power is provided by passengers stepping on pedals 515 and 518, which rotates sprocket 517. Simultaneously, sprockets 510 and 505 rotate together under the drive of the chain. Sprocket 505 then drives sprockets 415 and 407 to rotate together. Sprocket 415 and 307 transmit power through a long chain. Sprocket 307 is stationary and does not transmit power, thus causing the entire pedal-operated Ferris wheel to run in reverse. That is, the two cabins 2 on the same side move in a circular motion, while cabins 2 themselves do not rotate. Meanwhile, the rotation speed of foot pedal 515 and foot pedal 518 varies depending on the speed at which passengers step on foot pedal 515 and foot pedal 518, thus providing different power to the Ferris wheel and changing the rotation speed accordingly. Passengers can control the speed of the Ferris wheel according to their own ideas, thereby increasing the fun of the Ferris wheel.
