Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a catapult-type bungee jumping amusement device, belonging to the technical field of amusement devices. Background Art

[0002] The operating mechanism of existing catapult bungee amusement facilities is as follows: first, elastic potential energy is accumulated by stretching the elastic rope to a preset length. During this process, the cabin remains stable and motionless until the passengers are safely seated and wear safety equipment correctly, and then the cabin is released. Subsequently, the cabin bounces upward under the action of the rebound force released by the elastic rope, and then begins to fall under the influence of gravity. This action stretches the elastic rope again to accumulate elastic potential energy for it again. Once the rebound force of the elastic rope exceeds the total weight of the cabin and the passengers inside, it will catapult the cabin upward again. This process will be repeated many times until the elastic potential energy in the elastic rope is completely exhausted and the cabin stops moving up and down. During the whole process, the cabin will also rotate freely to increase the excitement and fun of the ride. However, this technology also has certain defects: it mainly relies on the expansion and contraction of rubber elastic ropes to drive various movements of the cabin, but the elastic ropes are prone to aging and there is a risk of breaking, which may pose a safety hazard.

[0035] The accumulator 4 includes a frame 41, on which a movable pulley block 45 and a fixed pulley block 46 are arranged. The fixed pulley block 46 is fixed at the lower end of the frame 41. The movable pulley block 45 is located above the fixed pulley block 46 and is installed on the bottom surface of the pulley lifting plate 44. The top surface of the pulley lifting plate 44 is connected to the lower end of the tension spring 43, and the upper end of the tension spring 43 is connected to the hanging spring plate 42. The hanging spring plate 42 can be lifted and lowered along the guide column 47 under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 48. The hydraulic cylinder 48 is equipped with a travel switch 49 with upper and lower travel limits. The wire rope 3 passes through multiple rounds between the movable pulley block 45 and the fixed pulley block 46. Under the action of the elastic potential energy of the tension spring 43, the movable pulley block 45 makes a reciprocating motion close to and away from the fixed pulley block 46.

[0036] The cockpit assembly 5 includes a plurality of seats 52, which are fixed on a cockpit frame 51, and an armature 56 is provided at the bottom of the cockpit frame 51; a fixed cockpit support and fixing assembly 6 is provided below the cockpit assembly 5, and the cockpit support and fixing assembly 6 is located on a platform 7, and an electromagnet 63 is provided on the cockpit support and fixing assembly 6, and the armature 56 is attracted by the electromagnet 63 to fix the cockpit assembly 5. An auxiliary support frame 61 and a buffer 62 are provided on one side of the electromagnet 63, which can provide auxiliary support to the cockpit frame 51 and improve stability.

[0037] In addition, a lock plate 54 is provided at the bottom of the cabin frame 51, and a lock hole 55 is provided on the lock plate 54; correspondingly, a lock pin 64 is provided on the cabin support and fixing assembly 6, and the lock pin 64 can be inserted into the lock hole 55 driven by the motor 65 to achieve hook connection, thereby realizing secondary protection to prevent the electromagnet from failing in the event of a sudden power failure.

[0038] In addition, a taking electrode 57 is provided at the bottom of the cockpit assembly 5, and correspondingly, a sending electrode 66 is provided on the cockpit supporting and fixing assembly 6. After the cockpit assembly 5 falls to the cockpit supporting and fixing assembly 6, the taking electrode 57 can be connected with the sending electrode 66 and energized to realize the locking and unlocking of the safety device (such as the pressure bar 53) in the cockpit assembly 5.

[0040] Working principle of the present invention:

[0041] At the beginning, the accumulator 4 does not store elastic potential energy, the cabin assembly 5 is fixed on the cabin support and fixing assembly 6 by the electromagnet 63, and the secondary protection lock pin 64 is also inserted into the lock hole 55. The tourist goes up to the cabin assembly 5, and the pressure bar 53 is pressed down and maintained to fix the tourist on the seat 52. The accumulator 4 starts to store energy, and the hanging spring plate 42 rises under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 48, pulling the tension spring 43 to store elastic potential energy. After the hanging spring plate 42 rises to the right position, the lock pin 64 for secondary protection is unlocked, and the electromagnet 63 loses power. Under the action of multiple sets of tension springs 43, the hanging spring plate 42 is instantly pulled up. Since multiple rounds of steel wire ropes are bypassed between the movable pulley group 45 and the fixed pulley group 46, the lifting distance of the hanging spring plate 42 will be multiplied between the pulley groups, driving the cabin assembly 5 to eject instantly. The elastic potential energy in the accumulator 4 is converted into the gravity potential energy of the cabin assembly 5. After reaching the high position, the cabin assembly 5 immediately falls down, and the gravitational potential energy of the cabin assembly 5 is converted into the elastic potential energy of the accumulator 4. In this continuous reciprocating process (after about 5.6 rounds), the elastic potential energy of the accumulator 4 is consumed. The hanging spring plate 42 descends under the action of the hydraulic cylinder 48, and the cabin assembly 5 will also slowly fall to the cabin support and fixing assembly 6. The electromagnet 63 is energized to attract and fix the cabin assembly 5, and the lock pin 64 that plays a secondary protection role is unlocked, and the pressure bar 53 of the seat 52 is unlocked, and the tourists leave the cabin assembly 5 in an orderly manner.

[0042] Of course, the above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be considered to limit the scope of the embodiments of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above examples, and equal changes and improvements made by ordinary technicians in the technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should all fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
