Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of amusement facilities, and particularly to a water-driven slide. Background Art

[0002] With the upgrade of the concept of urban waterfront space development, modern public amusement facilities need to have both hydrophilic entertainment functions and low-carbon operation and maintenance characteristics. However, most of the current outdoor slides lack effective interaction with water, which not only reduces the fun of playing with water on outdoor slides but also limits the entertainment value and sustainability of waterfront spaces. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the existing problem that existing outdoor slides generally lack interaction with water.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a water-driven slide, which includes a slideway, a flushing trough arranged at the starting end of the slideway, a water separation plate arranged in the flushing trough, and a water injection member for injecting water into the flushing trough. The water separation plate is used to divide the flushing trough into a water storage section and a diversion section along the water flow direction and block the water from flowing into the diversion section.

[0005] Among them, the water separation plate is arranged to be movable relative to the flushing trough to connect the water storage section and the diversion section, so that a directional water flow can be formed in the flushing trough to push the user into the slideway along the diversion section.

[0007] Optionally, the locking member includes a locking hook and a fastener connected to the water separation plate. The locking hook is pivotally connected to the first inner side surface, and the hooked end of the locking hook is detachably connected to the fastener.

[0008] Optionally, a spring is connected between the locking hook and the first inner side surface, and the spring is used to increase the torque for restricting the rotation of the locking hook.

[0009] Optionally, a floating trigger member is arranged in the flushing trough, and the floating trigger member is used to trigger the locking member to release the locking of the water separation plate.

[0010] Optionally, the floating trigger member includes a lever pivotally connected to the first inner side surface and a floating ball arranged at the power arm end of the lever. The resistance arm end of the lever is connected to the locking member to drive the lever to rotate through the floating torque generated by the floating ball, so as to drive the locking member to perform the unlocking action.

[0011] Optionally, the water injection member includes a water pump, and the water outlet end (2011) of the water pump is suspended above the water storage section in the vertical direction.

[0012] Optionally, a water storage pool is provided at the end of the slideway for receiving the water flowing down along the slideway, and the water inlet end of the water pump is connected to the water storage pool through a water suction pipe.

[0013] Optionally, the top of the water storage section is covered with a grille to prevent sundries from entering the water storage section.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, in the present invention, the water baffle intercepts the water in the flushing water trough and stores water in the water storage section. Subsequently, by moving the water baffle, the water storage section is communicated with the diversion section, and the potential energy of the water in the water storage section is converted into the kinetic energy of the water flow, and a directional water flow flowing into the slideway is formed through the diversion section to push the user to enter the slideway along the diversion section and slide down along the slideway, thereby enhancing the hydrophilic interaction experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0021] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for the purpose of illustration and explanation of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Refer to Figure 1, the water-driven slide in the present invention includes a slideway 1, a flushing trough 3 provided at the starting end of the slideway 1, a water-blocking plate 4 provided in the flushing trough 3, and a water injection member 2 for injecting water into the flushing trough 3. The water-blocking plate 4 is used to divide the flushing trough 3 into a water storage section 301 and a diversion section 302 along the water flow direction, and blocks water from flowing into the diversion section 302;

[0023] Wherein, the water-blocking plate 4 is arranged to be movable relative to the flushing trough 3 to communicate the water storage section 301 with the diversion section 302, so that a directional water flow can be formed in the flushing trough 3 to push the user into the slideway 1 along the diversion section 302.

[0024] Wherein, when the water injection member 2 continuously injects water into the flushing trough 3, the water-blocking plate 4 can form an effective water-blocking barrier, so that the water level in the water storage section 301 continuously rises, and the corresponding potential energy of the water also continuously increases. It should be noted that the gravitational potential energy of the water body in the water storage section 301 relative to the diversion section 302 is positively correlated with the water injection volume of the water injection member 2.

[0025] It can be understood that when the water-blocking plate 4 is moved to connect the water storage section 301 and the diversion section 302, the stored water in the water storage section 301 will pour into the diversion section 302 after losing the block of the water-blocking plate 4. At this time, the potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy, so that a directional water flow with an initial acceleration is formed in the diversion section 302, so that when the directional water flow contacts the user, it can have a certain flow velocity.

[0026] Advantageously, the directional water flow with a certain flow velocity can generate a directional propelling force in the direction of the slideway 1 on the user after encountering the user in the diversion section 302, so as to push the user to the starting end of the slideway 1 and slide along the slideway 1. During this process, the directional water flow simultaneously generates a lubricating effect, and improves the propulsion efficiency of the directional water flow by reducing the contact surface friction.

[0027] Therefore, in the present invention, the water-blocking plate 4 intercepts the water in the flushing trough 3 and stores water in the water storage section 301. Subsequently, by moving the water-blocking plate 4 to connect the water storage section 301 and the diversion section 302, the potential energy of the water in the water storage section 301 is converted into the kinetic energy of the water flow, and a directional water flow flowing into the slideway 1 is formed through the diversion section 302, so as to push the user to enter the slideway 1 along the diversion section 302 and slide along the slideway 1, thereby enhancing the hydrophilic interaction experience.

[0028] In the present invention, the water-blocking plate 4 may not be completely sealed and connected to the inner side surface of the flushing trough 3, that is, there may be a gap between the water-blocking plate 4 and the flushing trough 3. At this time, it is only necessary to set the water injection speed of the water injection member 2 to be greater than the speed of the water leaking out of the gap, and the water leaking out of this part can also lubricate the diversion section 302 and the slideway 1.

[0029] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4, the water baffle 4 can be pivotally connected to the bottom surface inside the flushing tank 3, and a locking member 5 for restricting the rotation of the water baffle 4 is provided on the first inner side surface 3011 of the water storage section 301 perpendicular to the water baffle 4.

[0030] Among them, when the water level in the water storage section 301 reaches the threshold value, the locking member 5 can release the lock on the water baffle 4, so that the water baffle 4 rotates towards the diversion section 302 under the extrusion of the water in the water storage section 301, thereby connecting the water storage section 301 and the diversion section 302.

[0031] Among them, the water baffle 4 can be connected to the flushing tank 3 through a hinge 10 to form an axis-fixed connection. Of course, the water baffle 4 and the flushing tank 3 can also adopt other rotational connection forms. For example, a pivot shaft is provided on the bottom surface of the flushing tank 3, and the bottom of the water baffle 4 is rotatably connected to the pivot shaft.

[0032] In the present invention, it is also possible to set the water baffle 4 and the flushing tank 3 to form a plug-in fit, that is, slideways 1 are provided on both inner side surfaces of the flushing tank 3 perpendicular to the water baffle 4 along a direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the flushing tank 3 or at a certain angle to the bottom surface. The width of the inner chute of the slideway 1 is equal to or slightly larger than the thickness of the water baffle 4, so that the water baffle 4 can be inserted into the two slideways 1. This setting can realize the isolation or connection of the flushing tank 3 by manually inserting or removing the water baffle 4. It should be noted that the slideway 1 only serves to fix the water baffle 4. That is to say, the length of the slideway 1 does not need to be specifically limited.

[0033] Among them, the slideway 1 can be composed of a slide rail or a groove body opened on the inner side wall surface of the flushing tank 3.

[0034] In the present invention, the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the flushing tank 3 can be set as the first direction.

[0035] In some embodiments, the locking member 5 can include a lock hook 501 and a fastener 502 connected to the water baffle 4. The lock hook 501 is pivotally connected to the first inner side surface 3011, and the hook end 5011 of the lock hook 501 is snap-connected to the fastener 502 to apply a directional pulling force pointing to the water storage section 301 to the water baffle 4, thereby restricting the rotation of the water baffle 4 towards the diversion section 302.

[0036] Among them, the fastener 502 can be located on the surface of the water baffle 4 facing the water storage section 301 and close to the top of the water baffle. The lock hook 501 is arranged corresponding to the fastener 502 so that the hook end 5011 can contact the fastener 502. The purpose is to be able to reduce the directional pulling force that the lock hook 501 needs to apply to the water baffle 4 by increasing the relative distance between the fastener 502 and the hinge 10 when the torque applied by the lock hook 501 to the water baffle 4 is certain.

[0037] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3, the fastener 502 may include a locking rod 5021, and the end of the locking rod 5021 is arranged in a bent shape to facilitate snap connection with the hook end 5011 of the locking hook 501. Of course, in some other embodiments, the fastener 502 may include other structures capable of snap connection with the hook end 5011 of the locking hook 501, which will not be elaborated herein too much.

[0038] In the present invention, a first rotating shaft 505 is provided on the first inner side surface 3011, and the locking hook 501 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 505.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 In the embodiment of, the locking hook 501 may include a hook 5011 and a straight rod 5012 connecting the hook 5011 and the first rotating shaft 505. A rotating hole for connecting with the first rotating shaft 505 is provided on the straight rod 5012, and washers clamped on two surfaces of the rotating hole are further provided on the first rotating shaft 505 to limit the rod from detaching from the first rotating shaft 505.

[0040] In some embodiments, a spring 503 is connected between the locking hook 501 and the first inner side surface 3011, and the spring 503 is used to increase the torque for restricting the rotation of the locking hook 501.

[0041] In the present invention, reference Figure 2 , a fixing rod 504 extending perpendicular to the first inner side surface 3011 and towards the water storage section 301 is provided on the first inner side surface 3011. The fixing rod 504 may be located beside the locking hook 501, and two ends of the spring 503 are connected between the locking hook 501 and the fixing rod 504.

[0042] Furthermore, reference Figure 3 , the hook 5011 may be correspondingly snapped onto the bent end of the locking rod 5021 from below the locking rod 5021 in the first direction. At this time, the fixing plate may be located below the end of the straight rod 5012 of the locking hook 501 along the first direction relative to the hook 5011, and the spring 503 is correspondingly connected between the straight rod 5012 and the fixing rod 504 in a stretched state to increase the torque for restricting the rotation of the locking hook 501.

[0043] In some embodiments, a floating trigger member 6 is provided in the flushing water tank 3, and the floating trigger member 6 is used to trigger the locking member 5 to release the locking of the water separation plate 4, so that the water storage section 301 is communicated with the diversion section 302.

[0044] In the present invention, the floating trigger member 6 may have any suitable form. Reference Figure 2As can be seen from the embodiments, the floating trigger member 6 may include a lever 601 pivotally connected to the first inner side surface 3011 and a floating ball 602 disposed at the power arm end 6011 of the lever 601. The resistance arm end 6012 of the lever 601 is connected to the locking member 5 to drive the lever 601 to rotate through the floating moment generated by the floating ball 602, so as to drive the locking member 5 to perform an unlocking action, thereby realizing that when the water level in the water storage section 301 reaches the threshold value, the water isolation plate 4 is controlled to communicate the water storage section 301 with the diversion section 302.

[0045] Wherein, the lever 601 may be disposed above the locking hook 501 along the first direction, and the resistance arm end 6012 of the lever 601 is connected to the hook end 5011 of the locking hook 501.

[0046] Wherein, a limiting rod is disposed below the power arm end 6011 of the lever 601 along the first direction, and the limiting rod is used to limit the power arm end 6011 of the lever 601 from rotating towards the bottom surface of the water storage section 301.

[0047] In some embodiments, a second rotating shaft 603 extending in the same direction as the first rotating shaft 505 is disposed on the first inner side surface 3011, and the lever 601 can be sleeved on the second rotating shaft 603.

[0048] In some embodiments, a driving rod 506 is disposed at one end of the straight rod 5012 of the locking hook 501 close to the hook 5011, and the driving rod 506 is in contact with the end of the resistance arm end 6012 of the lever 601.

[0049] In the present invention, when the water level in the water storage section 301 rises to contact the floating ball 602, the water body generates a vertically upward buoyant force on the floating ball 602. The floating ball 602 has a tendency to move upward along the first direction under the action of the buoyant force, thereby applying an upward thrust to the power arm end 6011 of the lever 601. When the power moment formed by the thrust (with the second rotating shaft 603 as the reference) exceeds the resistance moment received by the resistance arm end 6012, the lever 601 rotates around the second rotating shaft 603 to drive the locking hook 501 to rotate downward along the first direction to disengage from the fastening member 502, thereby releasing the locked state of the water isolation plate 4.

[0050] Wherein, the moment received by the resistance arm end 6012 is generated by the engagement of the locking hook 501 and the fastening member 502 and the tension of the connecting spring 503 between the locking hook 501 and the first inner side surface 3011.

[0051] Wherein, the locking rod 5021 can be set as a column, and the inner curved surface of the hook end 5011 of the locking hook 501 can be set as an arc to facilitate the locking hook 501 to release the fastening connection with the locking rod 5021.

[0052] In the present invention, the length of the power arm end 6011 of the lever 601 can be set to be greater than the length of the resistance arm end 6012, so as to reduce the thrust force that the floating ball 602 needs to exert on the lever 601.

[0053] In some embodiments, the water injection member 2 may include a water pump 201, and the water outlet end of the water pump 201 is suspended above the water storage section 301 in the vertical direction to inject water into the water storage section 301.

[0054] Among them, the water pump 201 includes an electric water pump and a manual water pump.

[0055] Among them, the structure of the electric water pump is relatively complex, and a power supply and corresponding maintenance conditions need to be provided for it. That is to say, compared with the electric water pump, the manual water pump is more suitable for outdoor environments.

[0056] In some embodiments, a water storage pool 7 for receiving the water flowing down along the slideway 1 is provided at the end of the slideway 1, and the water inlet end of the water pump 201 is connected to the water storage pool 7 through a water suction pipe 202 to form a recycled water use.

[0057] It should be noted that the water stored in the water storage pool 7 far exceeds the water that can be stored in the water storage section 301 at one time. At the same time, the water storage pool 7 can also allow users to enter, that is, the user slides down along the slideway 1 into the water storage pool 7, so as to provide a water play area for the user.

[0058] In some embodiments, the top of the water storage section 301 is covered with a grille 8 to prevent sundries from entering the water storage section 301 and ensure that the components arranged in the water storage section 301, such as the locking member 5 and the floating trigger member 6, will not be damaged by external sundries.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , a limiting bar 9 is arranged in the diversion section 302, and the limiting bar 9 is used to prevent the user from being too deep in the diversion section 302, so that when the water baffle 4 rotates towards the diversion section 302, it will collide with the user.

[0060] The water-powered slide of the present invention mainly provides water-playing fun for parent-child water activities in the urban waterfront space.

[0061] In the present invention, a child sits inside the diversion section 302 and downstream of the partition railing. After a parent separates the flushing trough 3 into a water storage section 301 and a diversion section 302 with the water baffle 4, the parent injects water into the water storage section 301 by operating a manual water pump, thereby increasing the interactivity between the parent and the child. When the water level in the water storage section 301 reaches the threshold, the floating trigger member 6 drives the locking member 5 to release the lock on the water baffle 4, thereby pushing the child downstream of the limit railing 9 in the diversion section 302 to the starting end of the slideway 1 and sliding down the slideway 1 into the storage pool 7. After completing one experience, the parent can reset the water baffle 4 and drive the locking member 5 to lock the water baffle 4, thereby preparing for the next experience.

[0062] Advantageously, when the water level in the water storage section 301 reaches the threshold, the floating trigger member 6 drives the locking member 5 to suddenly unlock the water baffle 4, which can create a sense of suddenness and tension for the child located in the diversion section 302. For parent-child play, it has higher playability. At the same time, all components of the entire hydraulic-driven slide are designed with a mechanical structure, which can save operation and maintenance costs and is also convenient for outdoor repair and maintenance.

[0063] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the technical concept scope of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not separately describe various possible combinations. However, these simple modifications and combinations should also be regarded as the content disclosed by the present invention and fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
