Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of entertainment equipment, in particular to a structure at the end of a Ferris wheel arm. Background Art

[0002] A Ferris wheel is a large rotating mechanical building facility, and the cabins (Gondolas) for passengers to ride are hung on the edge of the wheel. Passengers sit on the Ferris wheel and slowly rotate upwards, and can overlook the surrounding scenery from a high place. The most common occasions where Ferris wheels exist are amusement parks (or theme parks) and garden fairs. As a kind of amusement park ride, together with roller coasters and carousels, they are collectively called the "three treasures of the park". However, Ferris wheels often exist alone in other occasions and are usually used as viewing platforms for activities.

[0003] In the prior art, when installing the arms of a Ferris wheel, guides are generally used to move the ends of the arms. However, the guides may get stuck during use, which affects the normal movement of the arms and the normal use of the Ferris wheel. Moreover, there is no dust-proof device on the device for moving the ends of the arms, so that dust accumulates on the driving device for a long time, reducing the smoothness of the movement of the ends of the arms. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the disadvantages existing in the prior art. By changing the inclination of multiple arm bodies, the castings of the arm bodies form a supporting force for the rim. Using the threaded connection between the double-headed screw and the moving block to drive the arm body, the movement of the arm body is made smoother, reducing the occurrence of jamming caused by the use of guides. A structure at the end of a Ferris wheel arm is proposed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0021] Referring to Figures 1-3 , a structure at the end of a Ferris wheel arm, includes two symmetrically arranged support frames 1. Between the two support frames 1, there are two symmetrically arranged rims 8. Between the two rims 8, there are multiple circumferentially arranged cabins 9. A rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected through the two support frames 1. Multiple circumferentially arranged grooves 13 are formed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2. Two moving blocks 15 are slidably connected in each of the multiple grooves 13. Rotating seats 10 are provided at the upper ends of the multiple moving blocks 15 and on the inner walls of the two rims 8. The opposite two rotating seats 10 are rotatably connected through an arm body 11. A moving mechanism for moving the moving blocks 15 is provided in each of the multiple grooves 13. The moving mechanism includes a double-headed screw 14 rotatably connected through between the two ends of the groove 13 and the rotating shaft 2. The thread rotation directions at both ends of the double-headed screw 14 are opposite. The two moving blocks 15 are respectively arranged on the outer walls of both ends of the double-headed screw 14 and are threadedly connected thereto. By changing the inclination of the multiple arm bodies 11, a supporting force for the rim 8 is formed by the casting of the arm body 11. The driving of the arm body 11 is realized by using the threaded connection between the double-headed screw 14 and the moving block, making the movement of the arm body 11 smoother and reducing the occurrence of jamming phenomena due to the use of guide rails.

[0022] Linkage mechanisms for linking the moving mechanisms are provided on the outer walls of both ends of the rotating shaft 2. The linkage mechanisms include rotating rods rotatably connected through both ends of the rotating shaft 2. Driving wheels 6 are provided on the outer walls of both ends of the rotating rods. Transmission wheels 7 meshing with the driving wheels 6 are provided on the outer walls of both ends of the multiple double-headed screws 14.

[0023] One end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2 is provided with a plurality of fixing rods 3 arranged circumferentially. The ends of the plurality of fixing rods 3 are jointly provided with a fixing plate 4. The side wall of the fixing plate 4 is provided with a power motor 5.

[0024] The outer wall of the rotating shaft 2 is provided with a plurality of symmetrically arranged support rods 18. The ends of the plurality of support rods 18 are jointly provided with a dust-proof cover 12.

[0025] A plurality of through channels 16 arranged circumferentially are opened on the inner and outer walls of the dust-proof cover 12. The plurality of arm bodies 11 respectively penetrate and are slidably connected through the plurality of through channels 16. Elastic connections are provided between both ends of the plurality of through channels 16 and the outer wall of the dust-proof cover 12 with moving plates 17. Through the arrangement of the dust-proof cover 12, the double-headed screws 14 and the moving blocks 15 in the plurality of grooves 13 are dust-proofed. The elastic connection between the moving plates 17 and the through channels 16 enables the moving plates 17 to close the through channels 16, fully ensuring the cleanliness of the drive structure.

[0026] When the present utility model is in use, when pushing the plurality of arm bodies 11, the power motor 5 is started, so that the power motor 5 drives the rotating rod to rotate. By using the meshing between the plurality of driving wheels 6 and the transmission wheels 7 between the rotating rod and the plurality of double-headed screws 14, the plurality of double-headed screws 14 rotate. Then, by using the opposite thread directions at both ends of the double-headed screws 14 and the threaded connection between the plurality of moving blocks 15 and both ends of the double-headed screws 14, the plurality of moving blocks 15 make relative movements in the plurality of grooves 13. Then, through the rotational connection between the rotating seats 10 and the arm bodies 11 between the moving blocks 15 and the wheel rims 8, the inclination degrees of the plurality of arm bodies 11 are changed, so that the castings of the arm bodies 11 form a supporting force on the wheel rims 8. By using the threaded connection between the double-headed screws 14 and the moving blocks, the driving of the arm bodies 11 is realized, making the movement of the arm bodies 11 smoother and reducing the occurrence of jamming phenomena due to the use of guide rails.

[0027] Furthermore, through the arrangement of the dust-proof cover 12, the double-headed screws 14 and the moving blocks 15 in the plurality of grooves 13 are dust-proofed. The elastic connection between the moving plates 17 and the through channels 16 enables the moving plates 17 to close the through channels 16, fully ensuring the cleanliness of the drive structure and ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the arm bodies 11.
