[0026] Example 1

[0027] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a forward-leaning swing is provided. Figures 1 to 4 The forward-leaning swing includes: a support frame 1, a hanging structure 2, a riding device 3, a driving device 4 and a passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5.

[0028] The support frame 1 includes two columns and a crossbeam, wherein the lower ends of the two columns are rotatably mounted on the base 6. For example, a rotating bearing is fixedly installed on the base 6, and the columns are then connected to the rotating bearing, so that the columns and the base 6 can be rotatably connected. The upper end of the suspension structure 2 is connected to the middle part of the upper end of the support frame 1, for example, it is hinged to the middle part of the crossbeam at the upper end of the support frame 1 through a rotating shaft, so that it can be swung back and forth. In this embodiment, the suspension structure 2 is a frame structure formed by welding or splicing a plurality of steel pipes, which can achieve high strength with a relatively light weight. The riding device 3 is fixed to the lower end of the suspension structure 2, and a plurality of safety seats are arranged on it for passengers to ride. The riding device 3 can swing back and forth around the rotating shaft at the upper end with the suspension structure 2. In the prior art, there are many types of suspension structures 2 and riding devices 3, and they are not the innovations of this application, so the specific structure will not be repeated here.

[0029] The drive device 4 is provided on the base 6 and is linked to the support frame 1. During operation, the drive device 4 is capable of driving the upper end of the support frame 1 to rotate forward. For example, in this embodiment, the drive device 4 is hydraulically driven and includes two hydraulic cylinders driven by hydraulic oil. The telescopic ends of the two hydraulic cylinders are respectively hinged to the two columns, and can drive the support frame 1 to rotate during their extension and retraction.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hydraulic cylinder is located at the rear of the column, with its telescopic end hinged below the column's rotation axis. When the hydraulic cylinder contracts, it causes the upper portion of the support frame 1 to swing forward, thereby moving the crossbeam to the upper and front area of ​​the foundation 6. When the hydraulic cylinder extends, it causes the upper portion of the support frame 1 to swing backward, thereby returning the crossbeam to its original position directly above the foundation 6.

[0031] In other embodiments, the hydraulic cylinder may be replaced by a drive device 4 using an electric cylinder, a telescopic guide rod, or the like. Alternatively, the drive device 4 may be a combination of an engine, a motor, and a reduction mechanism to directly drive a rotating shaft fixed to the column, thereby also achieving the purpose of causing the upper end of the support frame 1 to swing back and forth.

[0032] The passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 is movably mounted on the base 6 and can be moved closer to or further away from the ride 3. When passengers are on the ride, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 can be moved below the ride 3 so that the passengers can board the ride 3 through the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5. The passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 can then be moved away from the ride 3 to ensure that the ride 3 and the passengers do not collide with the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 when the forward-leaning swing is in operation.

[0033] When the forward-leaning swing is set up at a higher location, such as on the edge of a cliff, the upper end of the support frame 1 can be rotated forward to the upper part of the cliff valley by the driving device 4. As the riders on the riding device 3 swing back and forth with the hanging structure 2, they can spend most of their time in the upper part of the cliff valley. Compared to a swing with the support frame 1 fixed to the edge of a cliff, the forward-leaning swing of the present application can significantly enhance the user's sense of excitement during operation.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the support frame 1 also includes a reinforcing beam provided at the lower ends of the two columns. By connecting the lower ends of the two columns together through the reinforcing beam, the rigidity of the support frame 1 can be improved, thereby improving the safety performance of the forward-leaning swing during operation.

[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 includes a support plate 51 and a telescopic device 52. The support plate 51 is arranged below the support frame 1, and its rear end is rotatably arranged on the base 6. The telescopic end of the telescopic device 52 is connected to the support plate 51. When it is telescopic, it can drive the front end of the support plate 51 to rotate downward within a preset angle range, so as to facilitate passengers to board the riding device 3, and to avoid the riding device 3 and passengers when the swing is in operation. Specifically, in this embodiment, the telescopic device 52 is arranged below the support plate 51. When it is contracted, the front end of the support plate 51 can rotate downward to avoid the riding device 3 when it is swinging; when it is extended, the front end of the support plate 51 can rotate upward to facilitate passengers to get on and off the riding device 3.

[0036] Compared to traditional swings where the support frame 1 is fixed to the edge of a cliff, the swing of this application brings the center of rotation of the suspension structure 2 closer to the vertical distance of the base 6 after the support frame 1 rotates forward a certain angle. Therefore, in this embodiment, a downward-facing recessed portion is formed on the base 6 to accommodate the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5. When the swing is in operation and the suspension structure 2 swings, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 moves downward and is accommodated in the recessed portion. This prevents the riding device 3 from contacting the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 without shortening the suspension structure 2. The longer suspension structure 2 can obviously increase the swing amplitude of the passengers, thereby enhancing the thrill.

[0037] In other embodiments, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 may also be a lifting platform provided on a foundation 6 below the support frame 1. By lifting up and down, the passengers can get on and off the device 3.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the forward-leaning swing further includes a traction frame 71, a hoist 72, and a separation device 73. The traction frame 71 is fixed to the base 6 behind the support frame 1. The hoist 72 is fixed to the base 6 and is provided with a lifting cable 74. One end of the lifting cable 74 passes through the top of the traction frame 71 and is connected to the suspension structure 2 or the ride 3 via the separation device 73. By reeling in the lifting cable 74, the ride 3 is lifted backward. After releasing the separation device 73, the ride 3 can swing back and forth around the support frame 1 along with the suspension structure.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a balancing rope 75 is provided, one end of which is connected to the upper end of the support frame 1, and the other end is connected to the end of the separation device 73 near the lifting rope 74. When the separation device 73 is opened, a part of the separation device 73 swings with the riding device 3, and the other part remains connected to the lifting rope 74. For details, see the attached Figure 2 Therefore, the balancing rope 75 can prevent the separation device 73 from swinging backward with the lifting rope 74. When the ride 3 needs to be raised again, the hoist 72 releases the lifting rope 74. Due to the weight of the separation device 73, the lifting rope 74 can move downward to facilitate the staff to connect the separation device 73 to the ride 3 or the suspension structure 2.

[0040] The specific use process of the forward-leaning swing in this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in the initial state, the support frame 1, the hanging structure 2 and the riding device 3 are all in a vertical state. Before the passengers board the riding device 3, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 is first raised to Figure 1 The passenger then enters the safety seat of the ride 3 via the platform 5, connecting the separation device 73 to the ride 3 or the suspension structure 2. After the passenger's safety measures are complete, the platform 5 is lowered, and the hoist 72 winds up the lifting rope 74, lifting the ride 3 backward to a predetermined height. The drive device 4 then rotates the upper end of the support frame 1 forward to a predetermined position. When the passenger is ready, the separation device 73 is released, allowing the passenger to swing back and forth with the suspension structure 2 around the rotating shaft at the top of the support frame 1. During the swing process, the passenger spends most of the time above the cliff valley in front of the cliff, fully experiencing the thrill and excitement. After the swing is complete, the support frame 1 is restored to its vertical position, the platform 5 is raised, and the passenger can safely disembark from the ride 3.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a forward-leaning swing is provided. Figure 5 and Figure 6The forward-leaning swing includes: a support frame 1, a hanging structure 2, a riding device 3, a driving device 4 and a passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5.

[0044] The difference between this forward-leaning swing and the swing in the first embodiment lies in the specific structural form of the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 includes a trolley 53 and a climbing ladder 54. The trolley 53 is rotatably mounted on a base 6 below the support frame 1, and the climbing ladder 54 is mounted on the trolley 53. When passengers need to board the ride 3, the staff can push the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 to the bottom of the support frame 1. After the passengers enter the ride 3 and are ready, the staff can push the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 to a position away from the ride 3 to prevent the ride 3 from colliding with the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 when the ride 3 swings.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 further includes a track provided on the foundation 6, such as Figure 5 As shown, the track includes a first track 55 and a second track 56 arranged along the direction of movement of the trolley 53. A space is formed between the first track 55 and the second track 56 to accommodate the reinforcement structure of the support frame 1, thereby preventing the support frame 1 from interfering with the track during rotation. Accordingly, the trolley 53 is provided with three or more support wheels connected to the track. Even if the trolley 53 moves between the first track 55 and the second track 56, it can ensure that at least two support wheels are on the track, thereby allowing the trolley 53 to smoothly pass through the area where the first track 55 and the second track 56 are disconnected. After the track for the trolley 53 to roll is provided on the foundation 6, the staff can move the trolley 53 more conveniently.

[0046] The specific use process of the forward-leaning swing in this embodiment is as follows:

[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, in the initial state, the support frame 1, the hanging structure 2 and the riding device 3 are all in a vertical state. Before the passengers board the riding device 3, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 is first moved to one side of the riding device 3. Figure 5The passenger then enters the safety seat of the ride 3 via the platform 5, connecting the separation device 73 to the ride 3 or the suspension structure 2. After the passenger's safety measures are complete, the hoist 72 winds up the lifting rope 74, lifting the ride 3 backward to a predetermined height. The platform 5 is then moved leftward, away from the ride 3. The drive device 4 then rotates the upper end of the support frame 1 forward to a predetermined position. When the passenger is ready, the separation device 73 is released, allowing the passenger to swing back and forth with the suspension structure 2 around the rotating shaft at the top of the support frame 1. During the swinging process, the passenger spends most of the time above the cliff valley in front of the cliff, fully experiencing the thrill and excitement. After the swinging is completed, the support frame 1 is first rotated to its initial vertical position, and the platform 5 is then moved rightward to below the ride 3, allowing the passenger to safely disembark from the ride 3.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention.
