Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a vertical lifting control method, more particularly to a ride passenger device anti-falling control method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The common lifting methods of amusement equipment include slope lifting and vertical lifting. The land occupation of amusement equipment is directly related to the investment cost of the amusement park. The vertical lifting method can greatly reduce the land occupation of the equipment and reduce the cost compared with the slope lifting method. In order to enhance the visual stimulation and improve the attraction of the product, the vertical lifting machine does not set a closed car like an elevator, so that the ride passenger device has a falling risk when running on the lifting machine. At the same time, after the lifting platform leaves a layer of position, a deep pit is formed in area 2, and the ride passenger device has a falling risk when driving from area 1.

[0003] If there is a patent number 2021210968086, named a vertical type kayak conveyor for drifting slide, it discloses that the kayak is lifted from the bottom of the conveying frame by setting the conveying frame, lifting rod and slide, and in the lifting process, the lifting rod is mainly inserted into the kayak, so the safety of the whole lifting process is not very high. For the case of carrying passengers, the above-mentioned vertical conveyor cannot be well adapted. SUMMARY

[0010] As a further improvement of the present application, the specific steps of controlling whether the lifting platform is lifted according to the states of the area 1, area 2 and area 3 in step two are as follows:

[0011] Step two one, determine whether the ride passenger device is located in the area 1, if not, do not operate, if yes, continue to the next step;

[0013] Step two three, after lifting to the second floor position of the conveying frame, the forward stop rod mechanism is flat, the conveying mechanism in the lifting platform is started to drive the ride passenger device away from the lifting platform, after the ride passenger device runs to the sensor 5, the state of the area 2 is changed to “empty”, the forward stop rod mechanism is raised, the rear stop rod mechanism is flat, and the lifting platform is lowered back to the first floor position, waiting for the next ride passenger device to enter.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present application, if it is determined that the three states of the state of the area 2 being “occupied”, the lifting platform being at the first floor of the conveying frame, and the lifting platform linkage mechanical anti-falling device being in the flat state, and the rear stop rod mechanism on the lifting platform being flat and the forward stop rod mechanism being raised are not met in step two two, it is determined as an abnormal event, and an alarm information is outputted after the abnormal event is determined.

[0022] The application will be further described in detail below by combining the embodiments shown in the figures, wherein the entry track 1 structure mentioned in the embodiment is the existing track structure, the conveying frame 2 is the existing conveying frame structure, the lifting platform 3 is combined in the way of setting a base under a section of track, the exit slide 4 is the same track structure as the entry track 1, the lifting platform linkage mechanical anti-falling device 5 adopts the existing platform departure automatic lifting structure, and the forward gear lever mechanism 6 and the backward gear lever mechanism 7 adopt the existing reversible lever structure, that is, a blocking lever part plus several reversible curved levers are combined, the lifting platform carrier transmission module 8 is the conveying belt set in the lifting platform 3, and the controller 9 adopts the existing programmable logic control chip such as PLC and its peripheral circuit.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 The amusement ride passenger device anti-falling control method of the embodiment is applied to a lifting machine for lifting the ride passenger device. The lifting machine is composed of a lifting device composed of an entrance track 1, a conveying frame 2, a lifting platform 3, an exit slide 4, and a lifting platform linkage mechanical anti-falling device 5. A forward stop lever mechanism 6 and a backward stop lever mechanism 7 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the lifting platform 3. The method comprises the following steps:

[0024] Step one: sensors 2 and 1 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of the entrance track 1 to divide a region 1. Sensors 4 and 3 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the lifting platform 3 to divide a region 2. A sensor 5 is arranged at a position spaced apart from the conveying frame 2 to divide a region 3.

[0025] Step two: signals of the sensors 1 to 5 are received in real time to identify the position of the ride passenger device. According to the signal results, the states of the regions 1, 2, and 3 are changed to “occupied” or “empty”. Whether the lifting platform 3 is lifted is controlled according to the states of the regions 1, 2, and 3. First, the entrance track 1, the conveying frame 2, the lifting platform 3, the exit slide 4, and the lifting platform linkage mechanical anti-falling device 5 are arranged to form a structure of the lifting machine. Further, the forward stop lever mechanism 6 and the backward stop lever mechanism 7 are arranged to limit the ride passenger device on the lifting platform. Then, the ride passenger device can be effectively transferred from the entrance track 1 to the conveying frame 2, and then lifted by the lifting platform 3 in the conveying frame 2, and then slid out of the exit slide 4, thereby effectively achieving the effect of safely lifting the ride passenger device.

[0026] As an improved specific embodiment, the specific steps of changing the states of the regions 1, 2, and 3 according to the signal results in step two are as follows:

[0027] After the sensors 1 and 2 detect the ride passenger device, the state of the region 1 is changed to “occupied”. After the ride passenger device is conveyed to the lifting platform 3 on the first floor, the sensors 3 and 4 have signals in sequence, the state of the region 1 is changed to “empty”, and the state of the region 2 is changed to “occupied”. After the lifting machine lifts the lifting platform 3 to the second floor, the ride passenger device is conveyed out of the lifting platform 3 by a lifting platform carrier transmission module 8 arranged in the lifting platform 3. After the sensor 5 has a signal, the state of the region 2 is changed to “empty”, and the state of the region 3 is changed to “occupied”. Through the above steps, the ride passenger device can be safely and reliably lifted by changing the states.

[0028] As a specific embodiment of the improvement, the specific steps of controlling whether the lifting platform 3 acts to lift according to the state of region 1, region 2 and region 3 in step two are as follows:

[0029] Step two one, determine whether the riding passenger device is located in region 1, if not, do not operate, if yes, continue to the next step;

[0030] Step two two, determine whether the following three states are present: region 2 state is “occupied”, the lifting platform 3 is at the first layer of the conveying frame 2, and the lifting platform linkage mechanical anti-falling device 5 is in the flat state, the rear stop lever mechanism 7 on the lifting platform 3 has been flattened and the forward stop lever mechanism 6 has been raised; if not, the lifting platform 3 does not act, if yes, the rear stop lever mechanism 7 on the lifting platform 3 is raised, and the lifting platform 3 starts to lift to the second layer of the conveying frame 2;

[0031] Step two three, after lifting to the second layer position of the conveying frame 2, the forward stop lever mechanism 6 is flattened and the transmission mechanism in the lifting platform 3 is started to drive the riding passenger device away from the lifting platform 3, after the riding passenger device runs to the sensor 5 and the region 2 state is changed to “empty”, the forward stop lever mechanism 6 is raised, the rear stop lever mechanism 7 is flattened, and the lifting platform 3 is lowered back to the first layer position, waiting for the next riding passenger device to enter, through the above steps, the safety can be effectively ensured before the lifting platform 3 starts to act, and then the riding passenger device is lifted or conveyed, which greatly increases the safety.

[0032] As a specific embodiment of the improvement, if the three states of step two two are not present, that is, the region 2 state is “occupied”, the lifting platform 3 is at the first layer of the conveying frame 2, and the lifting platform linkage mechanical anti-falling device 5 is in the flat state, and the rear stop lever mechanism 7 on the lifting platform 3 has been flattened and the forward stop lever mechanism 6 has been raised, it is determined as an abnormal event, and an alarm information is output after it is determined as an abnormal event, through the above way, the alarm can be effectively performed in time in the case of abnormality, and the abnormality can be effectively found in time, so as to avoid the occurrence of safety accidents caused by faults.

[0033] Another aspect of the embodiment provides a system carrying the above method, comprising:

[0034] A controller 9 is used to carry out the above method. The controller 9 is in communication connection with the forward gear lever mechanism 6 and the backward gear lever mechanism 7 to control the lifting or lowering of the forward gear lever mechanism 6 and the backward gear lever mechanism 7. The controller 9 is also in communication connection with the lifting platform linkage mechanical anti-falling device 5 to receive the state information of the lifting platform linkage mechanical anti-falling device 5. The controller 9 is also in communication connection with the lifting platform carrier transmission module 8 to control the lifting platform carrier transmission module 8 and receive the state information of the lifting platform carrier transmission module 8. The controller 9 is also in communication connection with the carrier position detection module and the platform state detection module. The carrier position detection module and the platform state detection module are in communication connection with the sensors 1 to 5 to feed back the position of the riding passenger device and the position of the lifting platform to the controller 9. Through the above structure, the above method can be well matched, and safe and reliable lifting and delivery can be realized.
