[0030] The following specific implementation contents provide a variety of different embodiments or examples for implementing the present invention. Of course, these are only embodiments or examples and do not wish to be restrictive. In addition, repeated reference numerals may be used in different embodiments, such as repeated numbers and / or letters. These repetitions are for the purpose of simply and clearly describing the present invention and do not represent a specific relationship between the different embodiments and / or structures discussed.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 7 A carousel with a foldable structure as shown, comprising:

[0032] The support frame 1 is provided with a plurality of wheels 21 on both sides of the support frame 1 to facilitate the movement of the amusement equipment, and a traction device (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the front side of the support frame 1, so that the support frame 1 is relatively a vehicle frame, thereby facilitating the transportation and removal of the amusement equipment.

[0033] The foldable chassis 2 includes an intermediate chassis 3 rotatably mounted on the supporting chassis 1 and two folding chassis 4 that can be flipped and hinged on the left and right sides of the intermediate chassis 3. The two folding chassis 4 can be flipped outwards to be on the same horizontal plane as the intermediate chassis 3, or the two folding chassis 4 can be flipped inwards and vertically stored above the intermediate chassis 3.

[0034] The foldable top plate 5 includes a middle top plate 6 and two folding top plates 7 which can be flipped and hinged on the left and right sides of the middle top plate 6. The two folding top plates 7 can be flipped outwards to be on the same horizontal plane as the middle top plate 6, or the two folding top plates 7 can be flipped inwards and vertically stored under the middle top plate 6.

[0035] A central column 8, wherein the intermediate chassis 3 and the intermediate top plate 6 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower ends of the central column 8, respectively, and the lower end of the central column 8 is fixedly connected to the supporting frame 1;

[0036] A hanging horse assembly 9 is connected between the foldable bottom plate 2 and the foldable top plate 5;

[0037] The crankshaft assembly 10 is disposed on the foldable top plate 5 and is used to drive the hanging horse assembly 9 to reciprocate up and down.

[0038] According to the above structure, the foldable chassis 2 is composed of the middle chassis 3 and the folding chassis 4 hinged on the left and right sides, and the foldable top plate 5 is composed of the middle top plate 6 and the folding top plate 7 assembly hinged on the left and right sides. Therefore, when the amusement equipment is transported and dismantled, the folding chassis 4 can be folded upward and stored above the middle chassis 3, and then the folding top plate 7 can be folded downward and stored below the middle top plate 6, thereby reducing the overall volume of the amusement equipment and improving the convenience during transportation and dismantling; in addition, when installing the amusement equipment, the folding top plate 7 and the folding chassis 4 can be directly unfolded outward, which greatly improves the efficiency of installation and reduces the difficulty of installation; the overall structure of the amusement equipment is simple and reasonable, the design is ingenious, and it is convenient to install, maintain, transport and dismantle, and it is highly practical and economical.

[0039] In addition, the middle chassis 3 and the folding chassis 4 on the foldable chassis 2 and the middle top plate 6 and the folding top plate 7 on the foldable top plate 5 are correspondingly provided with a lifting horse assembly 9, and the middle top plate 6 and the folding top plate 7 on the folding top plate 5 are provided with a crankshaft assembly 10. Since the middle chassis 3 and the middle top plate 6 are fixed and do not need to be folded, during demolition, the lifting horse assembly 9 or the crankshaft assembly 10 on the middle chassis 3 and the middle top plate 6 do not need to be disassembled, and only the lifting horse assembly 9 or the crankshaft assembly 10 on the folding chassis 4 and the folding top plate 7 need to be disassembled, thereby greatly improving the convenience of installation and disassembly.

[0040] After the folding bottom plate 4 and the folding top plate 7 are unfolded, they can be fixed by bolts. Of course, cylinders can be installed on the left and right sides of the supporting chassis 1, and the folding bottom plate 4 can be driven by the cylinders to perform the folding operation.

[0041] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, semi-arc walkways 31 are hingedly connected on the left and right sides of the supporting base frame 1, and the two semi-arc walkways 31 can be flipped outward to be horizontal, or the two semi-arc walkways 31 can be flipped inward and vertically stored on the top of the supporting base frame 1. Through the setting of the semi-arc walkway 31, when the semi-arc walkway 31 is in an outward unfolded state, it is horizontally arranged on the outside of the folding chassis 4, which can be used as an outer circle platform, which can facilitate the movement of players and staff; of course, the semi-arc walkway 31 can be folded inward for storage.

[0042] Of course, a support leg 100 is detachably installed at the lower end of the semi-arc walkway 31, and the support leg 100 supports the semi-arc walkway 31 to improve the overall stability of the amusement equipment.

[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, a top column 41 is connected above the center of the middle top plate 6, and a plurality of tie rods 42 are evenly connected to the upper end of the top column 41 along the circumference, and the other end of the tie rod is fixedly connected to the middle top plate 6 and the folding top plate 7 by bolts. Thus, the arrangement of the top column 41 and the tie rod 42 can improve the stability of the foldable top plate 5 after unfolding.

[0044] Preferably, the pull rod 42 is hinged to the top column 41, so that when disassembling, the pull rod 42 can be folded for easy transportation.

[0045] A plurality of diagonal bracing rods 95 are connected to the side wall of the central column 8 , and the lower ends of the diagonal bracing rods 95 are fixedly connected to the supporting base frame 1 by bolts, thereby improving the overall strength of the amusement equipment.

[0046] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the hanging horse assembly 9 includes a supporting cylinder 61 arranged on the foldable chassis 2, and a hanging rod 62 is movable up and down at the upper end of the supporting cylinder 61, the upper end of the hanging rod 62 is connected to the crankshaft assembly 10, and a wooden horse 63 is arranged on the hanging rod 62.

[0047] Furthermore, the crankshaft assembly 10 includes a crankshaft 71 rotatably mounted on the foldable top plate 5 , a crank 72 is disposed on the crankshaft 71 , a sleeve 73 is disposed at the upper end of the suspension rod 62 , and the sleeve 73 is rotatably mounted on the crank 72 .

[0048] A fan gear 81 is disposed at the inner end of the crankshaft 71 , and a fan gear ring 82 that can mesh with the fan gear 81 is disposed at the upper end of the center column 8 .

[0049] A driving motor 91 is disposed on the central column 8 , a gear 92 is disposed on the output shaft of the driving motor 91 , and a gear ring 93 that can mesh with the gear 92 is disposed on the intermediate top plate 6 .

[0050] Of course, a connecting rod is connected between the foldable bottom plate 2 and the foldable top plate 5 to connect the two so that the two rotate synchronously.

[0051] During operation, the gear 92 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 91, and the gear 92 is meshed with the gear ring 93, thereby driving the foldable top plate 5 to rotate, and driving the foldable bottom plate 2 and the hanging horse assembly 9 to rotate together. When the foldable top plate 5 rotates, the fan gear 81 on the crankshaft 71 is meshed with the fixed fan gear ring 82, thereby driving the crankshaft 71 to rotate, and then through the cooperation of the crank 72 and the sleeve 73, the suspension rod 62 is driven to float up and down at the upper end of the supporting cylinder 61.

[0052] In conjunction with the drawings and the above, the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention are shown and described.
