This has catalyzed the vigorous development of the cultural tourism industry. Ferris wheels, as a relatively large amusement equipment, are increasingly popular among the general public for their peaceful implication of climbing to a height and their suitability for all ages. As a landmark building, Ferris wheels are often favored by real estate developers and urban developers. Ferris wheels are not only a piece of amusement equipment, but also a city landmark. The packaging and promotion of Ferris wheels in conjunction with the development of city themes and related cultural industries and resource allocation not only promotes the city's connotation and corporate culture, but also brings considerable commercial value.

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0023] In view of the technical problem that the outer wheel rim raceway diagonal braces of existing sightseeing cars have low reliability of the force-bearing structure due to the use of a triangular structure, based on this technical problem, the utility model provides a Ferris wheel raceway with a grid structure. By configuring the diagonal brace structure of the Ferris wheel raceway to be a grid structure, the force-bearing nodes of the Ferris wheel raceway can be increased, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the Ferris wheel raceway. Compared with the existing triangular structure, the structural reliability of the Ferris wheel raceway is guaranteed.

[0024] The grid structure of the Ferris wheel track provided in this solution includes track units, see Figure 2 The raceway unit includes two sets of raceway assemblies 100. The first ends of the two sets of raceway assemblies 100 are connected to form a raceway unit with a triangular cross-section. The stability of the raceway unit is ensured by setting the raceway unit with a triangular cross-section. The other ends of the two sets of raceway assemblies 100 are respectively provided with connecting rods for connecting with the sightseeing car 200.

[0025] The two sets of raceway assemblies 100 respectively include a first roller 110, a second roller 120 and a diagonal brace assembly 130. The first roller 110 and the second roller 120 are symmetrically arranged, and a plurality of mounting seats are respectively arranged on the mounting surfaces corresponding to the first roller and the second roller, and the plurality of mounting seats are correspondingly arranged along the first roller and the second roller, and a mounting area for setting the diagonal brace assembly 130 is formed in the middle.

[0026] The diagonal brace assembly 130 is composed of a plurality of diagonal brace groups, wherein each diagonal brace group includes two diagonal brace rods, and after the two diagonal brace rods cross each other, the ends are connected to the mounting seats on the first rolling ring 110 and the second rolling ring 120 on both sides. The intersection of the two diagonal brace rods is connected by a connecting pin.

[0027] A plurality of groups of diagonal braces cooperate with each other to form a diagonal brace group 130 with a grid structure. The diagonal brace assembly with a grid structure is placed in the installation area between the first roller 110 and the second roller 120 and is connected with the first roller 110 and the second roller 120 .

[0028] In this solution, the diagonal brace assembly 130 is arranged in a grid structure, which increases the force nodes of the Ferris wheel 200 track, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the Ferris wheel track. Compared with the existing triangular structure, the structural reliability of the Ferris wheel track is ensured.

[0029] At the same time, since setting the diagonal support assembly 130 to a grid structure will increase the stress nodes, the grid-shaped roller can arrange the supports on the LED dot matrix screen, and a large number of auxiliary components for lighting can be arranged on the diagonal support assembly 130. For example, more LED lamp beads can be arranged, which is far greater than the traditional roller structure in terms of night scene lighting effects.

[0030] Preferably, grooves may be provided on both sides of each diagonal support rod for placing LED lamp beads, and a light-transmitting layer may be provided thereon, so as to achieve a light-transmitting effect while protecting the LED lamp beads.

[0031] It should be noted here that the specific structure of the light-transmitting layer is not limited in this solution. As an example, a light-transmitting plate can be provided on the groove to achieve protection and light transmission of the LED lamp beads.

[0032] Secondly, a sealing layer of transparent material can be filled in the groove to seal the LED lamp beads inside the groove to achieve protection and light transmission of the LED lamp beads.

[0033] The auxiliary components here include but are not limited to LED lamp beads, and any auxiliary components can be arranged according to a preset design draft.

[0034] At the same time, the present invention arranges the diagonal support assembly 130 into a grid structure. While ensuring its structural reliability, its appearance structure is different from the rolling track structure of other Ferris wheels, and the overall shape recognition, personalization and creativity are improved accordingly.

[0035] It should be noted here that if the existing triangular structure is replaced with a grid structure, the tonnage of the structure will inevitably increase. Therefore, in specific applications, the diameter-thickness ratio between the components can be adjusted in advance through finite element analysis, so that the stress value of each component is as close to the allowable value as possible while ensuring safety. Compared with the traditional structure, the raceway structure in this solution has less weight increase while ensuring its safety.

[0036] Based on the grid structure of the Ferris wheel track unit provided above, see Figure 3-Figure 4 By connecting a plurality of Ferris wheel track units through a connecting unit 600, a turntable assembly 300 of a Ferris wheel can be formed. The turntable assembly 300 is connected to a central axis 800 through a connecting assembly 700, and the turntable assembly 300 can rotate around the central axis 800.

[0037] Here, the composition structure of the connection unit 600 is not limited in this solution, and as an example, it includes but is not limited to bolts; at the same time, the composition structure of the connection assembly 700 is not limited in this solution, and as an example, it includes but is not limited to steel cables.

[0038] Also, see Figure 4-Figure 5 A friction track 400 is provided on the periphery of the turntable assembly 300 formed by the cooperation of a plurality of Ferris wheel roller track units. The friction track 400 is provided on the periphery of the turntable assembly 300 and is cooperatively connected with the turntable assembly 300. The friction track 400 can drive the turntable assembly 300 to rotate around the central axis 800.

[0039] Furthermore, the friction track 400 is provided with a driving device 500, and a driving force is generated through the interaction between the driving device 500 and the friction track 400, which drives the friction track 400 to drive the turntable assembly 300 and the sightseeing car 200 on the turntable assembly 300 to rotate around the central axis.

[0040] In some embodiments, the driving device 500 includes at least one set of driving components, which are located in the turntable component and are arranged and fixed relative to the turntable component 200. The driving component includes a base, a friction wheel and a motor.

[0041] The base is fixed on the ground through a fixing assembly, a friction wheel is arranged on the base, a motor drives the friction wheel to rotate, an outer contact surface of the friction wheel cooperates with the friction track 400, and the interaction between the friction wheel and the friction track 400 can generate a driving force to drive the turntable assembly 300 to rotate around the central axis 800. The hanging box at the edge of the turntable assembly 300 rotates with the turntable, rotating from a low position to a high altitude and then returning to a low position.

[0042] Applying the above-mentioned Ferris wheel roller track unit to the Ferris wheel can, on the one hand, enhance the safety and reliability of the Ferris wheel structure, and on the other hand, a large number of auxiliary structures can be arranged on the Ferris wheel to enhance the overall appearance.
