Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention relates to a fully automatic iron-based firework effect generator. Background technology:

[0002] Iron flower making is a large-scale traditional folk fireworks display. It is a folk cultural performance technique discovered by ancient Chinese craftsmen during the casting of utensils. During the iron flower making performance, the performers take turns using flower sticks to strike molten iron at a temperature of over a thousand degrees into the air, forming iron flowers that are more than ten meters high.

[0003] Iron flower performers must undergo a series of skill training sessions, including striking and dodging, before they can master the performance techniques. When striking the wooden stick in their hands, they must use force skillfully and quickly to produce large iron flowers, while ensuring that the scattered iron flower rain is very fine, turning into fine iron filings after falling, and the temperature can be quickly reduced. In actual application, due to the high temperature generated by the splashing molten iron, iron flower performers suffer from unbearable heat, so they mostly perform in autumn and winter, and the safety of the performers cannot be guaranteed. At the same time, the current preparation period for iron flower performances is long, wasting a lot of manpower and resources. Summary of the Invention:

[0004] This invention provides a fully automatic iron-based firework effect generator with a reasonable structural design. Based on the coordinated action of multiple functional components, it can automatically and accurately adjust the striking speed and force of the iron-based firework to present a good iron-firework effect. The overall melting efficiency is high, improving the overall operational safety. There are no restrictions on the application scenarios and seasons for iron-firework effects, reducing the preparation and setup time and the manpower and material costs required for traditional performances. At the same time, under the integrated control of the controller, each functional component can be driven efficiently and accurately, enabling rapid deployment and facilitating promotion and popularization, thus solving the problems existing in the prior art.
