For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0023] The present invention discloses a carousel amusement equipment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4The carousel amusement equipment includes a middle column 1, a first truss structure 2, a second truss structure 3, a first driving motor 23 and a second driving motor 33. Among them, the middle column 1 is arranged in the center of the carousel amusement equipment. The first truss structure 2 is arranged on the middle column 1, including a first upper truss 21 and a first lower truss 22; the second truss structure 3 is arranged on the middle column 1, including a second upper truss 31 and a second lower truss 32. The first driving motor 23 is connected to the first upper truss 21, driving the first truss structure 2 to rotate around the middle column 1, driving the upper layer of the carousel amusement equipment to rotate. The second driving motor 33 is connected to the second lower truss 32, driving the second truss structure 3 to rotate around the middle column 1, driving the lower layer of the carousel amusement equipment to rotate, and because the second lower truss 32 is located at the bottom of the entire carousel amusement equipment, the second lower truss 32 has a larger space than the second upper truss 31, and the second lower truss 32 is used to drive the lower layer of the entire carousel amusement equipment to rotate together, and its structure is more stable, and it is also relatively simple and convenient when maintenance and adjustment are required.

[0024] In some embodiments, the carousel amusement equipment further includes a first rotating drum 24, which is rotatably connected to the middle column 1 and fixedly connected to the first upper truss 21 at the periphery. The first rotating drum 24 and the first upper truss 21 rotate together relative to the middle column 1, thereby realizing the rotation of the upper layer of the carousel amusement equipment. The second rotating drum 34 is mounted on the middle column 1 and fixedly connected to the second lower truss 32 at the periphery. The second rotating drum 34 and the second lower truss 32 rotate relative to the middle column 1, thereby realizing the rotation of the lower layer of the carousel amusement equipment. The first rotating drum 24 and the second rotating drum 34 can both rotate independently relative to the middle column 1, and then rotate independently or together under the action of the first drive motor 23 and the second drive motor 33.

[0025] It can be understood that the first drive motor 23 and the second drive motor 33 can rotate in the same direction or in opposite directions to achieve the rotation of the upper and lower layers of the carousel amusement device in different directions, thereby enhancing the fun of the entire carousel amusement device.

[0026] Furthermore, the first truss structure 2 is arranged on the middle column 1, and the first rotating drum 24 can be directly connected to the upper and lower ends of the first upper truss 21, so that the first rotating drum 24 and the first upper truss 21 can rotate together as a whole under the drive of the first driving motor 23. The first lower truss 22 is rotatably connected to the middle column 1, and under the action of the first driving motor 23, the first rotating drum 24 drives the entire first truss structure 2 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the upper layer of the carousel amusement equipment.

[0027] Further, when the second drive motor 33 is connected to the second lower truss 32, the second rotating drum 34 can be set as a whole with the second lower truss 32, and the upper and lower ends of the second rotating drum 34 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the second lower truss 32 by fixing bolts. In some embodiments, the carousel amusement equipment also includes a slewing bearing 4, the outer side of the slewing bearing 4 is fixedly connected to the second drive motor 33 and the second rotating drum 32, and the inner side of the slewing bearing 4 is fixedly connected to the middle column 1. When the lower layer of the carousel amusement equipment needs to be rotated, the second driving motor 33 drives the second rotating drum 34 to rotate, and the second lower truss 32 can be rotated simultaneously through the slewing bearing 4, which reduces the setting of other transmission structures of the second rotating drum 34 and the second lower truss 32 bracket, further simplifies the structure of the entire carousel amusement equipment, and because there is no other transmission structure between the second rotating drum 34 and the second lower truss 32, it also reduces the fault area of ​​the entire carousel amusement equipment, saving the time cost of maintenance and positioning.

[0028] In addition, a transmission gear 5 is provided between the second drive motor 33 and the slewing bearing 4. The transmission gear 5 is mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor 33. According to actual needs, the second drive motor 33 can be transmitted to the slewing bearing 4 in the forward and reverse directions, thereby driving the second rotating drum 34 and the second lower truss 32 to rotate.

[0029] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the carousel amusement equipment further includes a base 6, which is mounted on the bottom of the center column 1 and is locked on the ground by fixing bolts to stably fix the entire carousel amusement equipment. The second drive motor 33 is arranged between the base 6 and the second lower truss 32, that is, the second drive motor 33 is arranged outside the entire second truss structure 3. When the second drive motor 33 fails, the maintenance personnel do not need to additionally disassemble the second truss structure 3 to disassemble, repair or replace the second drive motor 33 on the outside, which greatly enhances the safety and convenience of maintenance. Among them, a support bracket is additionally fixedly connected to the base 6, and the second drive motor 33 is installed on the support bracket, which further avoids the influence of other forces that the second drive motor 33 may be subjected to when it is installed between the base 6 and the second lower truss 32.

[0030] It can be understood that in order to enhance the supporting strength of the base 6, the cross-section of the base 6 is trapezoidal. On the one hand, the base surface of the base 6 in contact with the ground can ensure that the equipment or structure is not easy to tip over when subjected to lateral force, thereby improving the overall stability. On the other hand, the cross-section of the base 6 is trapezoidal, which helps to evenly distribute the weight of the central column 1, the first truss structure 2 and the second truss structure 3 to various parts of the base, reduce local pressure, and thus reduce the risk of wear and damage to the base 6.

[0031] In some embodiments, the carousel amusement equipment further includes a horse hanging assembly 7, which includes a horse seat 71, a horse hanging rod 72 and a connecting rod 73. The connecting rod 73 is rotatably connected to the middle column 1, the horse hanging rod 72 is arranged perpendicular to the connecting rod 73, and the horse seat 71 is installed on the horse hanging rod 72. The linkage rod rotates around the middle column 1 and drives the horse hanging rod 72 to move up and down, so that the horse seat 71 in the carousel amusement equipment can move up and down, which increases the fun.

[0032] In order to achieve stable and automatic up and down movement of the hanging horse assembly 7, in some embodiments, the carousel amusement equipment also includes a jumping device 8, which includes a first bevel gear 81 and a second bevel gear 82, which are meshed with each other, and the first bevel gear 81 is fixedly connected to the middle column 1, and the second bevel gear 82 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 73. The second bevel gear 82 rotates around the middle column 1 with the first truss structure 2 or the second truss structure 3, and is meshed with the first bevel gear 81 and moves on the tooth surface of the first bevel gear 81, thereby driving the connecting rod 73 to rotate along its central axis and thereby driving the hanging horse assembly 7 to achieve up and down jumping movement, so that players can enjoy the ups and downs of the game.

[0033] Furthermore, the carousel amusement equipment further includes a crank connecting rod 35, which is arranged between the first upper truss 21 and the connecting rod 73, and between the second upper truss 31 and the connecting rod 73. The crank connecting rod 35 with a relatively simple and compact design can convert the force in the rotation direction into the force in the vertical direction, thereby realizing the jumping design of the hanging horse assembly 7. The crank connecting rod 35 can adjust the jumping amplitude of the hanging horse assembly 7 according to the actual height of the carousel amusement equipment and the actual design requirements by changing the ratio of the crank and the connecting rod, thereby reducing the subsequent adjustment cost. In addition, the crank connecting rod 35 also has good mechanical properties, can withstand large loads and impacts, and further ensures the safety of the carousel amusement equipment.

[0034] When the second driving motor 33 is connected to the second lower truss 32 and drives the second truss structure 3 to rotate, since the second upper truss 31 is rotatably connected to the middle column 1, the support force received by the second upper truss 31 is weak, and there may be instability. In some embodiments, the carousel amusement equipment also includes a support frame 36, which is fixedly connected to the middle column 1 and supports part of the second upper truss 31, providing a certain support force for the second upper truss 31 to prevent the second upper truss 31 from shaking under the pulling force of the hanging horse assembly 7 when there are a large number of people on the horse seat 71 or a large weight on the horse seat 71, thereby affecting the stability of the entire carousel amusement equipment. The carousel amusement equipment also includes a guide wheel 37, which is installed in the support frame 36 and rotatably connected to the middle column 1. The guide wheel 37 reduces the rotational friction between the second upper truss 31 and the middle column 1, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotation.

[0035] Furthermore, the carousel amusement equipment has two layers of carousel equipment, and in order to improve the admission efficiency, in some embodiments, the carousel amusement equipment is provided with two escalators 10, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the carousel amusement equipment. Players can go up and down the escalators 10 on both sides at the same time to improve the admission efficiency; or players can go upstairs from the escalator 10 on one side and go downstairs from the escalator 10 on the other side to avoid dangerous situations caused by the collision of people flow.

[0036] 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.
