Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of amusement ride technology, and more particularly to a rotating amusement ride. Background Technology

[0002] Currently available rotating amusement rides, such as carousels, typically consist of a base, a rotating drum, and seats mounted on the drum. In these rides, the drum cannot be raised or lowered, or can only be raised and lowered vertically, resulting in a relatively limited range of gameplay options.

[0003] Furthermore, existing devices of this type often only exhibit revolution and rotation.

[0004] There are few forms of exercise and the gameplay is relatively simple.

[0005] This invention was made based on this situation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a rotating amusement facility that increases the diversity of movement and offers novel gameplay.

[0007] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a rotating amusement facility, including a base frame, a bearing housing on the top of the base frame, a rotating cylinder arranged in the vertical direction rotatably connected to the bearing housing, a passenger-carrying device on the rotating cylinder, a front lifting arm and a rear lifting arm movably connected between the base frame and the bearing housing, and the base frame, the front lifting arm, the rear lifting arm and the bearing housing together form a four-bar linkage mechanism, and a lifting drive device for pushing or pulling the front lifting arm or the rear lifting arm is provided on the base frame.

[0009] To further address the technical problems addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement facility in which the base frame, front lifting arm, rear lifting arm, and bearing housing form a non-parallelogram hinged four-bar mechanism, and the bearing housing can tilt and rise relative to the base frame when the front lifting arm or rear lifting arm swings.

[0010] To further address the technical problems addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement ride in which the lower end of the front lifting arm is hinged to the base frame, and the upper end of the front lifting arm is hinged to the front of the bearing housing; the lower end of the rear lifting arm is hinged to the base frame, and the upper end of the rear lifting arm is hinged to the rear of the bearing housing.

[0011] To further address the technical problems to be solved by the present invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement facility in which the lifting drive device includes a linear drive, one end of which is hinged to the base frame, and the other end of which is its output end and is hinged to the front lifting arm or the rear lifting arm.

[0012] To further solve the technical problem to be solved by the present invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement facility in which the bearing box includes an outer frame, and the inner sides of the left and right sides of the outer frame are provided with inner frames. The upper ends of the front lifting arm and the rear lifting arm are both hinged between the outer frame and the inner frames through hinge shafts.

[0013] To further address the technical problems addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement facility in which the bearing housing is further provided with a revolution drive device for driving the rotating drum to rotate, and a plurality of circumferentially distributed rotating arms are provided on the outer wall of the rotating drum. The passenger-carrying device includes a self-rotating gondola movably connected to the rotating arm, and each rotating arm is movably connected with a gondola. A universal connection structure is provided between the rotating arm and the corresponding gondola.

[0014] To further address the technical problems addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement facility in which a slewing bearing is provided between the rotating drum and the bearing housing to connect the two. The slewing bearing has external or internal teeth, and the revolution drive device includes a drive motor mounted on the bearing housing. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the slewing bearing in a transmission manner.

[0015] To further address the technical problems addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement ride in which the gondola includes a suspended tube, and a cabin frame capable of horizontally rotating around the suspended tube is rotatably connected to the suspended tube, and the cabin frame is provided with several seats.

[0016] To further address the technical problems addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement facility in which the universal joint structure includes a rocking block, the upper end of which is hinged to the outer end of a rotating arm, and the lower end of which is hinged to the upper end of a suspended tube, and the rotating arm, the rocking block, and the suspended tube form a cross universal joint.

[0017] To further address the technical problem addressed by this invention, the present invention provides a rotating amusement ride in which a brake is provided between the suspended tube and the cabin frame to prevent relative rotation between the two.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. In this invention, since the corresponding base frame, front lifting arm, rear lifting arm, and bearing housing form a four-bar linkage, the lifting drive device can lift the bearing housing by pushing or pulling the front or rear lifting arm. When the bearing housing is lifted, it has both upward movement and forward and backward movement relative to the base frame. This increases the diversity of movement and the playability.

[0020] 2. The base frame, front lifting arm, rear lifting arm, and bearing housing form a non-parallelogram hinged four-bar mechanism, enabling the bearing housing to tilt and rise. More specifically, because the base frame, front lifting arm, rear lifting arm, and bearing housing form a hinged four-bar mechanism, and the base frame is fixed, the bearing housing rises and falls accordingly when the front or rear lifting arm is swung. Furthermore, because the base frame, front lifting arm, rear lifting arm, and bearing housing form a non-parallelogram four-bar structure, the bearing housing not only rises but also tilts during the rise.

[0021] 2. In this invention, the gondola itself can rotate, enabling self-driven rotation by the rider. A brake is used to quickly stop the rotation when the ride stops. The gondola is connected to the swing arm via a universal joint, allowing it to swing freely. The swing arm is connected to the rotating drum, and a revolution drive device can drive the drum to rotate, meaning the gondola can also revolve around the drum's axis. The rotating drum is rotatably connected to a bearing housing, and a lifting drive device can drive the bearing housing to tilt upwards, meaning the gondola's center of rotation can tilt upwards. Therefore, this facility combines multiple modes of movement, including rotation, free swinging, revolution, ascent, and tilting, offering a novel and exciting experience.

[0029] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 The rotating amusement ride shown includes a base frame 1, with a bearing housing 2 above the base frame 1. A rotating cylinder 4, arranged vertically, is rotatably connected to the bearing housing 2. A passenger-carrying device is mounted on the rotating cylinder 4. A front lifting arm 31 and a rear lifting arm 32 are movably connected between the base frame 1 and the bearing housing 2, and the base frame 1, front lifting arm 31, rear lifting arm 32, and bearing housing 2 form a four-bar linkage. The base frame 1 is equipped with a lifting drive device for pushing or pulling the front lifting arm 31 or the rear lifting arm 32. Because the base frame 1, front lifting arm 31, rear lifting arm 32, and bearing housing 2 form a four-bar linkage, the lifting drive device can lift the bearing housing 2 by pushing or pulling the front lifting arm 31 or the rear lifting arm 32. When the bearing housing 2 is lifted, it has both upward movement and forward and backward movement relative to the base frame 1, increasing the variety of movements and playability.

[0031] Preferably, the present invention includes at least two left and right front lifting arms 31 and two left and right rear lifting arms 32. In this way, the three-dimensional structure composed of the base frame 1, the two left and right front lifting arms 31, the two left and right rear lifting arms 32 and the bearing box 2 has higher structural strength and more stability, and the bearing box 2 is more stable when it is raised and lowered.

[0032] In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the lower end of the front lifting arm 31 is hinged to the base frame 1, and the upper end of the front lifting arm 31 is hinged to the front of the bearing housing 2; the lower end of the rear lifting arm 32 is hinged to the base frame 1, and the upper end of the rear lifting arm 32 is hinged to the rear of the bearing housing 2.

[0033] In a more specific embodiment of the invention, the base frame 1, the front lifting arm 31, the rear lifting arm 32, and the bearing housing 2 form a non-parallelogram hinged four-bar mechanism, and the swinging of the front lifting arm 31 or the rear lifting arm 32 allows the bearing housing 2 to tilt and rise relative to the base frame 1. Here, tilting refers to an angle (inclination angle) between the plane containing the bearing housing 2 and the plane containing the base frame 1 (horizontal plane), rather than parallelism. The tilting and rising of the bearing housing 2 provides a more thrilling experience for passengers on the passenger vehicle.

[0034] In this invention, the aforementioned four-bar linkage is a non-parallelogram four-bar linkage, which enables the bearing housing 2 to tilt and rise. More specifically, since the base frame 1, the front lifting arm 31, the rear lifting arm 32, and the bearing housing 2 form a four-bar linkage, and the base frame 1 is fixed, when the front lifting arm 31 or the rear lifting arm 32 is driven to swing, the bearing housing 2 will rise and fall accordingly; and since the base frame 1, the front lifting arm 31, the rear lifting arm 32, and the bearing housing 2 form a non-parallelogram four-bar linkage structure, the bearing housing 2 will not only rise, but will also tilt during the rise.

[0035] In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the lifting drive device includes a linear actuator 7, one end of which is hinged to the base frame 1, and the other end of which is its output end and is hinged to the front lifting arm 31 or the rear lifting arm 32. The linear actuator 7 is preferably a hydraulic cylinder, but it can also be a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a rack and pinion mechanism, etc. The output end of the linear actuator 7 can be connected to either the front lifting arm 31 or the rear lifting arm 32. Figure 3 As shown: Linear actuator 7 is a hydraulic cylinder, the output of which is connected to the front lifting arm 31.

[0036] When the output end of the linear actuator 7 (such as a hydraulic cylinder) extends, it pushes the front lifting arm 31 to swing, thereby driving the bearing housing 2 to rise and fall.

[0037] In more specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bearing housing 2 includes an outer frame 21, and inner frame 22 is provided on the inner sides of both the left and right sides of the outer frame 21. The upper ends of the front lifting arm 31 and the rear lifting arm 32 are hinged between the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 22 via hinge shafts. A mounting plate is provided between the two inner frame 22, and the slewing support described below is mounted on the mounting plate at this location. Because the bearing housing 2 has an outer frame 21 and inner frame 22, its structural strength is higher. The aforementioned hinge shaft is connected between the left or right side frame of the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 22. That is, the upper ends of the front lifting arm 31 and the rear lifting arm 32 are both hinged to the inner side of the outer frame 21 and sandwiched between the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 22. The force on the bearing housing 2 is transmitted to the front lifting arm 31 and the rear lifting arm 32 through the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 22. In this way, the connection between the upper ends of the front lifting arm 31 and the rear lifting arm 32 and the bearing housing 2 is more stable, the load-bearing capacity is stronger, and it is safer.

[0038] Of course, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front frame of the outer frame 21 has a clearance notch for avoiding the front lifting arm 31.

[0039] Of course, the upper ends of the front lifting arm 31 and the rear lifting arm 32 can also be hinged to the outside of the outer frame 21, but this would reduce the structural strength.

[0040] In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is a rotating amusement facility. The bearing housing 2 is also provided with a revolution drive device for driving the rotating drum 4 to rotate. The outer wall of the rotating drum 4 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed rotating arms 5. The passenger-carrying device includes a self-rotating gondola 6 movably connected to the rotating arm 5, and each rotating arm 5 is movably connected with a gondola 6. A universal connection structure is provided between the rotating arm 5 and the corresponding gondola 6.

[0041] The rotating arm 5 preferably has two inner ends and one outer end. Both inner ends are connected to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 4 by pins. That is, the rotating arm 5 is installed on the rotating cylinder 4 by two pins, which can ensure the fixed relationship between the rotating arm 5 and the rotating cylinder 4 and facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the rotating arm 5. Adjacent rotating arms 5 are preferably connected by intersecting tie rods 51 to form a stable truss.

[0042] In this invention, the gondola 6 itself can rotate, driven by the passenger. The gondola 6 is connected to the rotating arm 5 via a universal joint structure, allowing it to swing freely. The rotating arm 5 is connected to the rotating cylinder 4, and a revolution drive device can drive the rotating cylinder 4 to rotate, meaning the gondola 6 can also revolve around the axis of the rotating cylinder 4. The rotating cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the bearing housing 2, and a lifting drive device can drive the bearing housing 2 to tilt upwards, meaning the center of the gondola 6's revolution can tilt upwards. Therefore, this facility combines multiple modes of movement, including rotation, free swinging, revolution, and tilting upwards, offering a novel and exciting experience.

[0043] In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, a slewing bearing 81 is provided between the rotating drum 4 and the bearing housing 2 to connect the two. The slewing bearing 81 has external or internal teeth. The revolution drive device includes a drive motor 82 mounted on the bearing housing 2, and the output end of the drive motor 82 is connected to the slewing bearing 81 in a transmission connection. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the slewing bearing 81 has external teeth, the outer ring of the slewing bearing 81 is fixed to the rotating drum 4, the inner ring of the slewing bearing 81 is fixed to the bearing housing 2, and the drive motor 82 is preferably a geared motor. The output end of the geared motor is provided with a pinion 821, which engages with the external teeth of the slewing bearing 81. After the geared motor is started, it drives the rotating drum 4 to rotate.

[0044] Of course, in another embodiment, the slewing bearing 81 has internal teeth, the inner ring of the slewing bearing 81 is fixed to the rotating cylinder 4, the outer ring of the slewing bearing 81 is fixed to the bearing housing 2, and the drive motor 82 and the internal teeth of the slewing bearing 81 are connected by gear transmission.

[0045] Of course, in another embodiment, the drive motor 82 and the inner or outer ring of the slewing bearing 81 can also be connected by a sprocket and chain drive.

[0046] In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the pod 6 includes a hoisting tube 61, and a cabin frame 62 rotatably connected to the hoisting tube 61, capable of horizontally rotating around it, is provided with a plurality of seats 63. That is, a rotatable connection structure is provided between the cabin frame 62 and the hoisting tube 61. Preferably, the rotatable connection structure is such that the cabin frame 62 and the hoisting tube 61 are rotatably connected by a bearing 67 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 (As shown).

[0047] Of course, the preferred option is, such as Figure 5 As shown, a turntable 66 is fixedly connected to the hoisting pipe 61. After the passenger sits in the seat 63, if the passenger needs a more thrilling experience, they can manually rotate the turntable 66. Under the reaction force of the turntable 66, the cabin frame 62, the seat 63, and the passenger in the seat 63 will rotate around the turntable, that is, achieve self-rotation.

[0048] In more specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a brake 64 is provided between the boom 61 and the cockpit frame 62 to lock their relative rotation. The brake 64 includes a brake disc fixed relative to the boom 61 and a brake plate fixed relative to the cockpit frame 62. During rotation, there is a certain gap between the brake disc and the brake plate. When braking is required, the coil inside the brake 64 is energized, causing the brake plate to grip the brake disc and achieve the braking function. The brake 64 is preferably an electromagnetic brake, which is quite common in the market and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] When the passenger does not need to rotate, the brake 64 can be activated. The brake plate inside the brake 64 will grip the brake disc, and the cabin frame 62 will stop rotating under the action of friction.

[0050] In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the universal joint structure includes a rocker block 9, the upper end of which is hinged to the outer end of the rotating arm 5, and the lower end of which is hinged to the upper end of the lifting pipe 61. The rotating arm 5, the rocker block 9, and the lifting pipe 61 form a universal joint (a type of universal joint structure). Preferably, the rotation axes at the hinge points of the upper and lower ends of the rocker block 9 are perpendicular to each other.

[0051] Since the rotating arm 5, the swing block 9, and the hoisting pipe 61 form a universal joint structure, the hoisting pipe 61 can swing freely in multiple directions relative to the rotating arm 5. This increases the variety of swing motion forms and makes the hoisting pipe 61 movable when the gondola 6 revolves. During the revolution, the centrifugal force will cause the gondola 6 to swing (inward and outward swing). When the revolution decelerates and accelerates, the gondola 6 will also swing due to inertia (circumferential swing). Only when the hoisting pipe 61 can move can the above swing be completed smoothly and the hoisting pipe 61 will not break due to stress concentration.

[0052] Due to the revolution of gondola 6, the presence of swing block 9, and the varying weights of passengers inside gondola 6, gondola 6 can swing in any direction during facility operation.

[0053] A buffer 91 is provided between the rocker block 9 and the hanging pipe 61 to buffer the relative sway between them, and the buffer 91 is respectively provided on both sides of the hinge position of the rocker block 9 and the hanging pipe 61. Figure 5 As shown, the buffer 91 is respectively located on the left and right sides of the hinge position of the swing block 9 and the hoist tube 61. One end of the buffer 91 is connected to the swing block 9 and the other end is connected to the hoist tube 61. When the buffer 91 is compressed, it will have a damping effect. That is, the buffer 91 can buffer when the gondola 6 swings left and right relative to the swing block 9, so that the gondola 6 swings smoothly (especially during the deceleration and acceleration of revolution) and does not shake wildly, giving passengers a more comfortable riding experience.

[0054] In a more specific embodiment of the invention, a safety wire rope 65 is threaded through the hoisting pipe 61. The upper end of the safety wire rope 65 is connected to the swing arm 5, and the lower end of the safety wire rope 65 is connected to the cabin frame 62. The safety wire rope 65 is a double safety measure; even if the hoisting pipe 61 breaks or the connecting shaft at the hoisting pipe 61 breaks, the safety wire rope 65 can still hold the entire gondola 6 in place to prevent it from falling, ensuring the personal safety of the passengers.

[0055] In a more specific embodiment of the present invention, the base frame 1 includes a transverse support 11 and a longitudinal support 12 detachably connected to the transverse support 11. The longitudinal support 12 is provided with a plurality of adjustable height-adjustable screw-type support legs 13. The support legs 13 are also preferably detachable. The base frame 1 supports the equipment and, due to the weight of the equipment and friction, fixes the base frame 1 to the ground. Alternatively, the base frame 1 can be fixed to the ground with bolts. The base frame 1 has a modular structure, which can be disassembled into the transverse support 11, the longitudinal support 12, and the support legs 13 for easy transportation and reassembly at the site.

[0056] Because the support legs 13 are of a screw-type structure, the height of the facility can be adjusted by adjusting each support leg 13 to ensure complete contact between the support legs 13 and the ground, ensuring stable installation and smooth operation of the facility. It is worth noting that the screw-type support legs 13 include a screw and a nut, which enable self-locking.

[0057] Preferably, the rotating drum 4 is provided with a primary conductive ring, and the hanging pipe 61 is provided with a secondary conductive ring. After being energized, the current passes through the primary conductive ring to provide power to the drive motor 82 (gear motor), the rotating arm lights and the secondary conductive ring, and the current passes through the secondary conductive ring to supply power to the pod.

[0058] Preferably, a lamp holder and lamps are installed on the rotating arm 5 and above the rotating cylinder 4 of the present invention. The lamp holder is preferably equipped with lamps of different colors, which can emit different lights when the equipment is running.

[0059] The workflow of this invention is as follows: After the tourist sits on the seat 63 in the gondola 6, the tourist is secured using a pressure bar restraint device to prevent the tourist from falling off the equipment and ensure the tourist's personal safety; after the equipment is powered on, the drive motor 82 (reduction motor) drives the rotating drum 4 to rotate, realizing the revolution of the gondola 6; when the tourist needs it, he can push the turntable 66 in the hoisting tube 61 to make the cabin frame 62 and seat 63 rotate around the hoisting tube 61, that is, to realize the rotation of the gondola 6; when the tourist needs to stop the rotation of the gondola 6, the brake 64 is activated, and the rotating brake plate on the brake 64 grips the brake disc fixed relative to the hoisting tube 61, and the friction force brakes the rotation of the gondola 6; the linear drive 7 (hydraulic cylinder) can push the front lifting arm 31 to move to realize the raising and tilting of the equipment; the gondola 6, the rotating arm 5 and the swing block 9 form a cross universal joint, which allows the gondola 6 to swing in any direction; the equipment integrates the forms of rotation, revolution, raising and tilting, with diversified movement forms and exciting and novel gameplay.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
