[0031] The features of the present invention and other related features are further described in detail below through embodiments to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 8 , an embodiment of a flying tower amusement device of the present invention is proposed:

[0033] A flying tower amusement equipment comprises a tower body 1. A lifting drive mechanism 2 is arranged on the tower body 1, and a lifting cylinder 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the tower body 1. The lifting cylinder 3 is driven by the lifting drive mechanism 2 to move up and down.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, the upper end surface of the lifting cylinder 3 extends radially outward to form an upper annular portion 31, and the lower end surface of the lifting cylinder 3 extends radially outward to form a lower annular portion 32. A rotating cylinder 4 is sleeved on the outside of the lifting cylinder 3, and a plurality of upper tightening wheels 41 are distributed at equal intervals on the top of the outer side of the rotating cylinder 4, and the upper tightening wheels 41 are in close contact with the outer side surface of the upper annular portion 31; a plurality of lower tightening wheels 42 are distributed at equal intervals on the outer bottom of the rotating cylinder 4, and the lower tightening wheels 42 are in close contact with the outer side surface of the lower annular portion 32. The rotating shafts of the upper tightening wheels 41 and the lower tightening wheels 42 are parallel to the rotating shaft of the rotating cylinder 4, and a plurality of load-bearing wheels 43 are distributed at the inner bottom of the rotating cylinder 4 in a circumferential manner. The rotating cylinder 4 is provided with a rotating drive mechanism. Driven by the rotating drive mechanism, the upper pressing wheel 41 rolls in close contact on the outer surface of the upper annular portion 31, the lower pressing wheel 42 rolls in close contact on the outer surface of the lower annular portion 32, and the load-bearing wheel 43 rolls on the upper end surface of the lower annular portion 32 with the radial direction of the rotating cylinder 4 as the rotation axis, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity and stability of the structure, making the entire equipment safer and more reliable during operation.

[0035] The upper / lower pressing wheels apply pressure to the lifting cylinder 3 along the radial direction of the lifting cylinder 3, and the load-bearing wheels 43 apply pressure to the lifting cylinder 3 along the vertical direction. The three cooperate to make the lowering cylinder and the rotating cylinder 4 closely contact and connected.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a suspension arm 5 is also provided on the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 4 , and a swing joint 51 is hingedly connected at one end of the suspension arm 5 away from the rotating cylinder 4 , and a suspension rod 52 is fixedly connected to the swing joint 51 , and a cabin mechanism 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the suspension rod 52 .

[0037] The present invention can drive the cabin mechanism 53 to rise and fall and rotate through the lifting cylinder 3 and the rotating cylinder 4. The setting of the swing joint 51 allows the suspension rod 52 and the cabin mechanism 53 to swing within a certain range, further enriching the amusement experience, so that tourists can feel a slight swinging feeling while enjoying the fun of rotation.

[0038] Since the flying tower amusement equipment needs to rotate the rotating cylinder 4 at high speed, and then under the action of centrifugal force, the swing joint 51 can be driven to further open radially outward along the rotating cylinder 4. If it is driven by gears, the gears will mesh at high speed, which is easy to be damaged and the equipment maintenance cost is high. However, the present invention rolls the clamping wheel on the outer surface of the annular part, which has less noise and small torque of the clamping wheel, reduces the risk of damage to the transmission structure, and reduces the equipment maintenance cost.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, the rotary drive mechanism includes a plurality of reduction motors 44, and a reduction motor 44 is used to drive a lower pressing wheel 42 to roll. The present invention drives the rotary drum 4 by a plurality of reduction motors 44 together, distributing the total load to each reduction motor 44, thereby reducing the torque required to be borne by each reduction motor 44, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the rotary drive mechanism and avoiding overload or damage caused by excessive torque of a single reduction motor 44.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the flying tower amusement equipment also includes a transmission shaft 45 parallel to the rotating axis of the rotating cylinder 4, a plurality of mounting seats 46 are arranged at equal intervals on the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder 4, the main body of the reduction motor 44 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting seat 46, the lower clamping wheel 42 is located at the bottom of the mounting seat 46, the top of the transmission shaft 45 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 44, and the bottom of the transmission shaft 45 passes through the mounting seat 46 and is fixedly connected to the center of the lower clamping wheel 42.

[0041] The reduction motor 44 is fixed on the mounting seat 46 through a connecting piece 47. The connecting piece 47 is provided with a passage for the transmission shaft 45 to pass through. The connecting piece 47 is fixedly connected to the main body of the reduction motor 44 by screws or bolts, and the mounting seat 46 is provided with a mounting through hole for fixed connection with the connecting piece 47. The outer side of the transmission shaft 45 is connected to the connecting piece 47 through a second bearing 48.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the flying tower amusement equipment also includes a connecting shaft 521 parallel to the rotating axis of the rotating drum 4, and a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the outer periphery of the top of the rotating drum. One end of the connecting shaft 521 is fixedly connected to the mounting hole, and the other end of the connecting shaft 521 is connected to the center of the lower clamping wheel 42 through a first bearing 522.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, a roller mounting frame 49 for mounting a load-bearing wheel 43 is provided at the inner bottom of the rotating drum 4, and the load-bearing wheel 43 can roll relative to the roller mounting frame 49 with the radial direction of the rotating drum 4 as the rotation axis. The roller mounting frame 49 is fixedly connected to the rotating drum 4.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the tower body 1 includes a base 11 fixedly connected to the ground and a top support 12 . The top support 12 is fixedly connected to the base 11 through a plurality of vertical supports 13 , and the lifting cylinder 3 is located outside the vertical supports 13 .

[0045] like Figure 6As shown, the lifting drive mechanism 2 includes a traction machine (not shown in the drawings), a pulley block, and a driving cylinder 21 installed on the base 11. The pulley block includes a first fixed pulley 22 installed on the top bracket 12, a second fixed pulley 24, a movable pulley 23 located below the top bracket 12, and a traction rope 25. One end of the traction rope 25 is connected to the lifting cylinder 3, and then the traction rope 25 passes around the first fixed pulley 22, the movable pulley 23, and the second fixed pulley 24 in sequence. Finally, the traction rope 25 is connected to the traction machine, and the movable pulley 23 is installed on the pulley bracket 26. The power output end of the driving cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the pulley bracket 26. The movable pulley 23 can reduce the load-bearing capacity of each section of the traction rope 25 to prevent it from breaking due to excessive load-bearing.

[0046] In the embodiment, the tower body 1 is connected to the lifting cylinder 3 via two pulley blocks.

[0047] The flying tower amusement equipment also includes a counterweight assembly 27 and a load-bearing rope, one end of which is fixedly connected to the lifting cylinder 3, then passes around the first fixed pulley 22, and the other end is fixedly connected to the counterweight assembly 27. During the lifting process of the lifting cylinder 3, the counterweight assembly 27 balances the weight of the lifting cylinder 3, drives the oil cylinder 21 to move the movable pulley 23 up and down in a small range, so that the lifting cylinder 3 can be stably lifted and lowered.

[0048] The suspension arm 5 extends radially outwardly along the rotating cylinder 4. One end of the suspension arm 5 provided with a swing joint 51 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder 4 through an inclined arm 54. The suspension arm 5, the inclined arm 54 and the rotating cylinder 4 form a triangular structure.

Specifically, the steel wire rope 55 and the boom 5 are both fixedly connected to the top of the rotating cylinder 4, and the inclined arm 54 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating cylinder 4.

[0049] The triangular structure formed by the boom 5, the oblique arm 54 and the rotating drum 4 and the symmetrically arranged steel wire rope 55 enhance the stability of the boom 5, reduce the shaking feeling of passengers during the amusement process, and improve the comfort and safety of passengers.
