Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of amusement facilities, in particular to a gear transmission device used for a rotating amusement facility. Background Art

[0002] The driving methods of current amusement facilities are mainly electric or internal combustion engine driven, and the transmission mechanisms in amusement facilities include gear transmission and chain transmission. In rotating amusement facilities, gear transmission is mainly used. The motor drives the reduction mechanism to rotate, and then the transmission mechanism drives the entire amusement device to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of providing amusement for passengers.

[0003] In rotating amusement facilities with gear transmission, the transmission gears are prone to gear failure when running for a long time and overloaded. Gear failure includes fatigue fracture, overload breakage, tooth surface wear, etc. Gear failure will not only affect the smooth operation of the amusement facilities, but also cause major safety hazards. Therefore, amusement facilities need to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure the reliable operation of the transmission components and thus ensure the safe operation of the amusement facilities.

[0004] In the gear transmission components of existing rotating amusement facilities, the driving motor is usually connected to the reducer, the output speed is reduced by the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to the rotating component of the rotating amusement facility to serve as the rotating driving source of the amusement facility. However, in the above-mentioned driving method, there is only one transmission position between the power source and the rotating component, resulting in uneven distribution of the driving position. At startup, there is a large reaction force at the transmission position, which will cause a large pressure on the rack at the gear meshing position, which is likely to cause gear failure of the rack at the transmission position, resulting in defects such as rack deformation, breakage, pitting, etc.

[0005] Secondly, most of the driving structures of amusement facilities lack effective protection measures, which makes the transmission components of amusement facilities directly contact with the outside space. The dust, debris and other factors in the outside space will also affect the smooth operation of the gear transmission components. Moreover, long-term exposure to the outdoor environment and long-term operation will also affect the lubrication measures between the transmission mechanisms, which is prone to problems such as grease solidification, aging, and reduced viscosity. Maintenance personnel are required to perform regular maintenance and inspections to ensure the safe and smooth operation of amusement facilities. Summary of the invention

Through the evenly arranged driving mechanisms, different positions of the gear ring can be driven synchronously, dispersing the driving force and ensuring that the driving force is evenly distributed on the gear ring, which can effectively reduce the operating pressure of the rack at the driving position, avoid gear failure caused by long-term operation and overload operation, and ensure the safe operation of the amusement facility.

[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 8 , the present invention provides the following two embodiments:

[0042] Embodiment 1:

[0043] A gear transmission device for a rotating amusement facility comprises a rotating platform 100, a gear ring 110, a base 120 and a transmission component 200. The bottom end of the rotating platform 100 is rotatably mounted on the edge of the base 120.

[0044] The transmission component 200 includes a plurality of driving mechanisms 210 , a reduction mechanism 220 and a plurality of transmission shafts 230 ; the lower surfaces of the reduction mechanism 220 and the plurality of driving mechanisms 210 are connected to the base 120 .

[0045] The speed reduction mechanism 220 includes a driving motor 221, a driving gear 222 and a plurality of speed reduction gears 223. The output end of the driving motor 221 is connected to the driving gear 222, and the driving gear 222 is respectively meshed with the plurality of speed reduction gears 223. The driving motor 221 rotates to drive the driving gear 222 to rotate, and the driving gear 222 meshes with the rack between the speed reduction gears 223, and the gear ratio between the driving gear 222 and the speed reduction gear 223 is matched to achieve the effect of speed reduction, while increasing the driving torque.

[0046] A transmission chamber 217 is provided inside each driving mechanism 210, and the gear ring 110 is rotatably installed inside the transmission chamber 217. A plurality of evenly distributed rollers 216 are provided inside the driving mechanism 210, and each roller 216 is in contact with the outer wall of the gear ring 110. The rollers 216 are in contact with the outer wall of the gear ring 110. During the rotation of the gear ring 110, the rollers 216 can limit the rotation of the gear ring 110, keep the gear ring 110 rotating in a limited space, avoid the problem of eccentricity of the gear ring 110, and thus ensure the smooth operation of the rotating platform 100.

[0047] Each driving mechanism 210 has a meshing gear 214 rotatably mounted inside, each meshing gear 214 is rotatably meshed with the inner wall of the gear ring 110, and the surfaces of each meshing gear 214 and each reduction gear 223 are respectively meshed with the surface of the transmission shaft 230. The transmission shaft 230 is used to transmit the reduction gear 223 and the meshing gear 214, and transmit the rotational force of the reduction gear 223 to the meshing gear 214, thereby driving the meshing gear 214 to rotate.

[0048] By evenly distributing multiple driving mechanisms 210, different positions of the ring gear 110 can be driven synchronously, so as to disperse the driving force and ensure that the driving force is evenly distributed on the ring gear 110. This not only effectively reduces the operating pressure of the rack at the driving position, but also avoids gear failure problems caused by long-term operation and overload operation, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the amusement facility.

[0049] Each driving mechanism 210 is symmetrically provided with an oil storage bin 211 and a collecting bin 212. A scraper 219 is provided at the bottom of each oil storage bin 211 and collecting bin 212. A coating brush 213 is provided inside the oil storage bin 211, and a cleaning brush 215 is provided inside the collecting bin 212. The length of the bristles on the surface of each coating brush 213 and cleaning brush 215 is in contact with the inner wall of the gear ring 110. A driving shaft 218 is provided at one end of the coating brush 213 and the cleaning brush 215, and each driving shaft 218 is meshed with the surface of the meshing gear 214.

[0050] During the rotation of the meshing gear 214, the driving shaft 218 rotates by meshing with the meshing gear 214, thereby synchronously driving the coating brush 213 and the cleaning brush 215 to rotate. The coating brush 213 and the cleaning brush 215 rotate continuously and can slide on the inner wall of the ring gear 110 through the bristles. The coating brush 213 can evenly apply the lubricating grease stored in the oil storage tank 211 to the inner wall of the ring gear 110, keeping the rack surface on the inner wall of the ring gear 110 evenly coated with lubricating grease, so that during the meshing transmission process between the ring gear 110 and the meshing gear 214, the contact surface of the rack can maintain a good lubrication effect, avoiding the problem of poor lubrication effect resulting in greater friction between the meshing surfaces of the ring gear 110 and the meshing gear 214, generating heat and causing wear of the meshing surfaces, and then causing gear failure.

[0051] After the ring gear 110 passes through the meshing gear 214, the cleaning brush 215 comes into contact with the meshing transmission position, and the cleaning brush 215 rotates the bristles to comprehensively clean the inner wall of the ring gear 110, and sweeps away the residual grease on the surface of the ring gear 110, so that only a thin layer of grease remains on the surface of the ring gear 110, thereby preventing excess grease from remaining on the surface of the ring gear 110, and the excess grease from dripping and sticking to dust and impurities during the rotation of the ring gear 110. When the bristles of the cleaning brush 215 containing grease pass through the scraper 219, the bristles squeeze the scraper 219, and the grease entrained in the bristles can be squeezed out and gathered at the bottom of the collection bin 212 for easy recycling. The cleaning brush 215 rotates and contacts the scraper 219 to squeeze out the lubricating grease and collect impurities in the lubricating grease, thereby keeping the surface of the ring gear 110 clean. This facilitates the ring gear 110 to rotate to the next driving mechanism 210 without any impurities remaining on the surface of the ring gear 110. After the ring gear 110 continues to run, it can maintain good contact between the ring gear 110 and the meshing gear 214, thereby ensuring the gear transmission effect.

[0052] A gear pump 240 is arranged between each oil storage tank 211 and the collecting tank 212, and the driving end of the gear pump 240 is connected to the meshing gear 214, the inner bottom end of each oil storage tank 211 is connected to the output end of the gear pump 240, and the inner bottom end of each collecting tank 212 is connected to the input end of the gear pump 240.

[0053] The gear pump 240 operates synchronously with the meshing gear 214. The gear pump 240 includes two mutually meshing pumping gears. The meshing rotation of the pumping gears can achieve the effect of conveying lubricating grease. The lubricating grease in the collection bin 212 can be pumped into the oil storage bin 211, so that the lubricating grease can be recycled until the lubricating grease is fully discharged and replaced regularly.

[0054] The outer wall of each oil storage bin 211 and the collecting bin 212 is provided with a heating assembly 250 , and each heating assembly 250 includes a heat conductive block, a heating rod and a temperature sensor, and each temperature sensor is respectively plugged into the bottom end of each oil storage bin 211 and the collecting bin 212 .

[0055] The heating component 250 can detect problems with the lubricating grease in the oil storage bin 211 and the collecting bin 212 in real time through a temperature sensor. If the temperature of the lubricating grease is too low, it means that the fluidity of the lubricating grease is poor. The heating rod is turned on, and the heat generated by the heating rod is evenly transferred to the heat conductive block, and then the heat is transferred to the oil storage bin 211 and the collecting bin 212 through the heat conductive block to heat the lubricating grease, thereby improving the fluidity of the lubricating grease.

[0056] Embodiment 2:

[0057] Based on the above-mentioned invention content, the present invention also provides another embodiment:

[0058] The depth of the oil storage bin 211 is greater than the depth of the collecting bin 212, and a filter is provided at the lubricating grease outlet of the collecting bin 212. The filter aperture is 1-2 mm, which is used to filter out large particles of impurities in the lubricating grease. The filter aperture can maintain the flow of the lubricating grease, thereby achieving the effect of settling and filtering impurities in the lubricating grease and keeping the lubricating grease clean.

[0059] During this process, when the outdoor environment is at a low temperature, the heating component 250 is heated, and the generated heat is conducted to the oil storage bin 211 and the collection bin 212 to heat the lubricating grease, thereby increasing the fluidity of the lubricating grease to an optimal state, which is conducive to filtering and settling of particulate matter in the lubricating fluid.

[0060] During the rotation process, the bristles of the cleaning brush 215 come into contact with the upper liquid surface of the lubricating grease, absorb the clean lubricating grease in the upper liquid surface, and apply it to the inner wall of the ring gear 110. The cleaning brush 215 completely scrapes off the lubricating grease on the surface of the ring gear 110 to keep the inner wall of the ring gear 110 clean and prevent the lubricating grease from dripping and aging and solidification due to long-term rotation with the ring gear 110.

[0061] It not only ensures the smooth and safe operation of amusement equipment, but also reduces the frequency of regular inspections by staff.

[0062] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.
