DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The technical solution in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some of the embodiments, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this solution, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the protection scope of this solution.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment designs a platform linkage device for a single-track multi-raft electromagnetic ejection slide, including a starting ejection mechanism 7 and a conveyor, wherein the number of the conveyors is one or a plurality of conveyors arranged continuously along the conveying direction. The platform structure is arranged between the end section 9 and the start section 8 of the water slide, so as to allow tourists to board the raft or get off the raft. When there are multiple water slides, a starting ejection mechanism 7 and a conveyor are arranged between the end section 9 and the start section 8 of each water slide.
[0031] The multiple conveyors can be respectively a first stop conveyor 4, a second stop conveyor 5 and a departure conveyor 6, and the first stop conveyor 4, the second stop conveyor 5 and the departure conveyor 6 are arranged in sequence along the preset direction of the raft transportation; the first stop conveyor 4 is close to the end section 9, and the input end of the first stop conveyor 4 is connected with the end section 9, and the departure conveyor 6 is close to the starting section 8, and the output end of the departure conveyor 6 is connected with the departure ejection mechanism 7, and the departure ejection mechanism 7 is connected with the starting section 8, and the second stop conveyor 5 is arranged between the first stop conveyor 4 and the departure conveyor 6 and is connected with both.
[0032] The starting ejection mechanism 7 and the top surfaces of multiple conveyors are located on the same plane, that is: the conveying top surface of the first stop conveyor 4, the conveying top surface of the second stop conveyor 5 are flush with the conveying top surface of the starting conveyor 6, the starting conveyor 6 is connected to the starting ejection mechanism 7, and the sliding surface of the end section 9 is flush with the top surface of the first stop conveyor 4.
[0033] Waiting platforms 2 are arranged on both lateral sides of the conveyor, and stairs 1 are arranged on the side of the waiting platform 2 away from the joint plate 3, so that it is convenient for tourists to climb onto the waiting platform 2 or get off the waiting platform 2 through the stairs 1.
[0034] A joint plate 3 is provided at the gap between the waiting platform 2 and the conveyor, and the joint plate 3 can cover the gap between the conveyor and the waiting platform 2.
[0035] Guardrails 10 are provided on both lateral sides of the starting ejection mechanism 7 and each conveyor; the end of the guardrail 10 at the first stop conveyor 4 away from the end section 9 is open and connected to the side wall of the slide of the end section 9; the distance between the guardrails 10 at the first stop conveyor 4 decreases continuously from top to bottom; the end of the guardrail 10 at the starting ejection mechanism 7 close to the starting section 8 is closed and connected to the side wall of the slide of the starting section 8.
[0036] The starting ejection mechanism 7 includes a magnetic ejection module 72, and a plurality of side rollers 73 are arranged on both sides of the magnetic ejection module 72. A first round roller 74 is arranged between the magnetic ejection module 72 and the starting conveyor 6, and a second round roller 71 is arranged between the magnetic ejection module 72 and the starting section 8. A base frame 75 is arranged below the magnetic ejection module 72, and the base frame 75 vertically supports the first round roller 74, the second round roller 71 and the side rollers 73, and the first round roller 74, the second round roller 71 and the side rollers 73 are all unpowered rollers.
[0037] The magnetic ejection module 72 adopts existing technical products and can drive the raft to move forward. The moving direction of the raft after being pushed by the magnetic ejection module 72 is tangent to the unpowered roller group. The guardrail 10 at the starting ejection mechanism 7 can be used as two oppositely arranged guide walls to guide the raft. The spacing between the bottoms of the two guide walls gradually decreases from the end close to the starting conveyor 6 to the end away from the starting conveyor 6, so as to guide the raft to be in the same direction as the forward direction of the starting section 8 of the slide.
[0038] The top sections of the non-powered rollers such as the first round roller 74, the second round roller 71 and the side rollers 73 are in the same plane as the conveying top surface of the departure conveyor 6. The magnetic ejection module 72 is located in the area between the two guide walls, so that the raft can be guided during the acceleration process. The first round roller 74 and the second round roller 71 are respectively distributed on the front and rear sides of the magnetic ejection module 72, and the side rollers 73 are distributed on the left and right sides of the magnetic ejection module 72, so that the contact between the raft and the magnetic ejection module 72 is less, reducing the wear of the raft and the magnetic ejection module 72, and at the same time avoiding the magnetic ejection module 72 from holding the raft and affecting the normal ejection of the raft.
[0039] The waiting platform 2 in the area of the departure conveyor 6 can be used for passengers to board the raft, and then the departure conveyor 6 drives the raft and the passengers to move forward to the departure ejection mechanism 7, and the raft is supported by the side roller 73 and the first round roller 74; at the initial speed given by the departure conveyor 6, and as the induction plate set at the bottom of the raft is driven and accelerated by the magnetic ejection module 72, the raft is accelerated into the starting section 8 of the slideway, and after passing the apex of the starting section 8, it begins to slide under the action of gravity. The supporting function of the first round roller 74 and the second round roller 71 can prevent the raft from being clamped between the departure conveyor 6 and the magnetic ejection module 72, and between the magnetic ejection module 72 and the starting section 8.
[0040] The entire departure process does not require manual pushing of the raft, eliminating the need for workers to push the raft to start the slide in general water slides, reducing labor intensity while being safer and preventing people from bumping into each other. It is understandable that the main structure of the present application (the departure ejection mechanism and multiple conveyors) is only used as a departure platform in this embodiment, and in other types of slides, it can also be used only in conjunction with the starting section of the slide, eliminating the need for manual pushing of the raft to start the slide, reducing the labor intensity and risk of personnel operation.
[0041] Position sensors can be provided at both the start section 8 and the end section 9 to feed back the position of the raft to the control system of the water slide, so that in cooperation with position sensors at other parts of the water slide, the control system can control the launch operation of the next raft according to the position of the first raft, thereby avoiding collision between the front and rear rafts, and playing an auxiliary role in realizing the sliding of multiple rafts on one track. The control system can be an industrial computer or a computer server.
[0042] When the raft finishes sliding and returns to the platform structure, the first stop conveyor 4 and the second stop conveyor 5 do not transport the raft first, so that the raft stops by relying on the friction between the raft and the first stop conveyor 4, and then the raft is transported to the second stop conveyor 5 by the first stop conveyor 4; when the raft speed is too fast to stop on the first stop conveyor 4, the raft will also be stopped by the friction of the conveyor belt of the second stop conveyor 5.
[0043] Compared with the method of lengthening the length of the first stop conveyor 4, the present embodiment first stops the raft using the first stop conveyor 4, and the first stop conveyor 4 conveys the first raft entering the station to the second stop conveyor 5. In this way, even if a second raft enters the station later, the first stop conveyor 4 can also operate independently to receive and convey the second raft, and the second raft can be stopped without waiting for the tourists on the first raft to get off the raft, thereby avoiding collision or collision between the front and rear rafts when entering the station due to the different speeds of passengers getting off the rafts.
[0044] Alternatively, more conveyors may be provided, or the length of the conveyors may be adjusted, depending on the number of rafts to be operated simultaneously, to achieve operation of multiple rafts on one track and increase the carrying capacity of the slide. This embodiment specifically provides three conveyors to meet the requirements of simultaneous operation of two rafts on a single track, which can improve the carrying capacity compared to a general water slide and help ensure safe control of the operation process.
[0045] At the same time, the design of the present application can also be applied to the transformation of the existing rafting slide.
[0046] The current magnitude and current direction of the magnetic ejection module 72 are adjustable so as to adjust the start and stop, starting power and magnetic direction of the magnetic ejection module 72 according to the sliding speed of the raft.
[0047] For example, the starting ejection mechanism and multiple conveyors can be added to the starting platform of the existing slide to provide tourists with the initial velocity of the slide. At this time, only one conveyor can be used, or other numbers can be set according to the size of the platform. For example, when two conveyors are set, two rafts can be accommodated at the same time waiting for departure, which improves the carrying efficiency to a certain extent and increases the passenger capacity of the slide in a unit time. In addition, for the slide with a starting platform, since it mainly slides by gravity, the magnetic ejection module 72 of its starting ejection mechanism can choose not to work when sliding, and only the matching round rollers and side rollers are used to assist sliding; if the overall weight of the tourists is large and the starting speed is small, the magnetic ejection module 72 works to ensure smooth sliding. For the slide with the starting point on the ground, by modifying the platform to replace the design of the cost application, it can also be achieved that the existing single raft operation mode is upgraded to a double raft operation mode with a small change in the original platform area, thereby increasing the passenger capacity of the slide, reducing the waiting time of tourists, and improving the tourist experience.
[0048] In addition, the magnetic ejection module 72 can also reversely drive the raft. In case of an emergency, the raft needs to be stopped to prevent it from being launched. By changing the current direction of the magnetic ejection module 72, the magnetic ejection module 72 can provide a force in the opposite direction, so that the raft is stopped in time to avoid danger. It is understandable that if the raft is still on the conveyor when an emergency occurs, the conveyor can be stopped to prevent the raft from being launched to ensure the safety of tourists.
[0049] The guardrails 10 on the left and right sides of the first stop conveyor 4 can serve as transition walls of the end section 9. The transition wall can make a smooth transition between the slideway and the platform, prevent the raft from hitting the platform, and ensure safety.
[0050] The above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clarifying the description, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods; it is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods exhaustively. However, obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the present technology.
