[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a translational swing is provided. Figures 1 to 4 The translational swing includes a support rail 7, a support frame 1, a suspension structure 2, a ride device 3, and a drive device 4. The support rail 7 is fixed to the base 6, with one end extending forward to the outside of the base 6. For example, the translational swing can be set on the edge of a cliff. In this case, the base 6 is the platform at the top of the cliff. One end of the support rail 7 is fixed to the base 6, and the other end extends forward to the outside of the base 6. The specific length can be set according to actual needs. In addition, a support rod can be installed between the base 6 and the lower part of the cantilevered portion of the support rail 7 as a reinforcement structure to improve the stability of the support rail 7.

[0035] The support frame 1 comprises two uprights and a crossbeam. The lower ends of the two uprights are mounted on a support track 7 and are movable along the track 7. For example, multiple wheels are provided at the lower ends of the two uprights, which roll on the track 7, allowing the support frame 1 to roll on the track 7. The wheels between the uprights and the track 7 preferably include guide wheels located on three sides of the track 7, which surround the track 7 and provide the support frame 1 with good stability in directions other than the length of the track 7.

[0036] 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 as to facilitate forward and backward swinging. In this embodiment, the suspension structure 2 is a frame structure formed by welding or splicing a number of steel pipes, which can achieve higher strength with a lighter weight. The riding device 3 is fixed to the lower end of the suspension structure 2, and a plurality of safety seats are provided thereon for passengers to sit. 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 innovation of this application, so the specific structure will not be repeated here.

[0037] The drive device 4 is mounted on the foundation 6 and is linked to the support frame 1. During operation, it can drive the support frame 1 forward and backward along the support rail 7. 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 when they extend and retract, they can drive the support frame 1 to move. When the support frame 1 is moved into position, the drive device 4 stops operating, and it also serves to fix the support frame 1 along the length of the support rail 7.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the hydraulic cylinder is installed at the rear side of the column, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder is hinged to the lower end of the column. When the hydraulic cylinder is extended, it can move the support frame 1 to the right, thereby moving the crossbeam portion to the upper area in front of the foundation 6; when the hydraulic cylinder is retracted, it can move the support frame 1 to the left, thereby returning the support frame 1 to its original position directly above the foundation 6.

[0039] 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 the wheels on the column to roll on the support rail 7, thereby also achieving the purpose of moving the support frame 11 forward and backward.

[0040] 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 platform. 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 platform 5 when the swing is in operation.

[0041] When the translational swing is set up at a higher location, such as on the edge of a cliff, the support frame 1 can be moved 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 translational swing of the present application can significantly enhance the user's sense of excitement during operation.

[0042] 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 translational swing during operation.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As 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.

[0044] To further enhance the thrill of the ride, the length of the suspension structure 2 can be appropriately increased to enhance the swing amplitude of the passengers. Accordingly, in this embodiment, a downwardly 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, thus preventing the ride 3 from contacting the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the translatory swing further includes a traction frame 81, a hoist 82, and a separation device 83. The traction frame 81 is fixed to the base 6 behind the support frame 1. The hoist 82 is fixed to the base 6 and is provided with a lifting cable 84. One end of the lifting cable 84 passes through the top of the traction frame 81 and is connected to the suspension structure 2 or the ride 3 via the separation device 83. By reeling in the lifting cable 84, the ride 3 is lifted backward. After releasing the separation device 83, the ride 3 can swing back and forth around the support frame 1 along with the suspension structure.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a balancing cable 85 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 separator 83 near the lifting cable 84. When the separator 83 is opened, a portion of the separator 83 swings with the ride 3, while the other portion remains connected to the lifting cable 84. Therefore, the balancing cable 85 prevents the separator 83 from swinging backward with the lifting cable 84. When the ride 3 needs to be lifted again, the hoist 82 releases the lifting cable 84. Due to the weight of the separator 83, the lifting cable 84 moves downward, facilitating the connection of the separator 83 to the ride 3 or the suspension structure 2.

[0047] The specific use process of the translational swing in this embodiment is as follows:

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the initial state, the support frame 1 is directly above the foundation 6. Before passengers board the ride 3, the passenger loading and unloading platform 5 is raised. Passengers then enter the safety seat of the ride 3 via the loading and unloading platform 5 and connect the separation device 83 to the ride 3 or the suspension structure 2. After the passenger safety measures are complete, the loading and unloading platform 5 is lowered, and the hoist 82 winds up the lifting rope 84, lifting the ride 3 backward to a predetermined height. The drive device 4 then moves the support frame 1 forward to a predetermined position in front of the foundation 6. When the passenger is ready, the separation device 83 is released, and the passenger can then 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 in front of the cliff, fully experiencing the thrill and excitement. After the swing ends, the support frame 1 is retracted to the top of the foundation 6, and the loading and unloading platform 5 is raised, allowing the passenger to safely disembark from the ride 3.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In another embodiment, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 includes a trolley 53 and a step ladder 54. The trolley 53 is rotatably mounted on the base 6 below the support frame 1, and the step 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 under 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 away from the ride 3 to prevent the ride 3 from colliding with the platform 5 when it swings.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 further includes a slide rail provided on the foundation 6, such as Figure 5 As shown, the slide rail includes a first slide rail 55 and a second slide rail 56 arranged along the moving direction of the trolley 53. A space is formed between the first slide rail 55 and the second slide rail 56 to accommodate the reinforcement structure of the support frame 1, so as to prevent the support frame 1 from interfering with the slide rail when rotating. Accordingly, the trolley 53 is provided with three or more support wheels connected to the slide rail. Even if the trolley 53 moves between the first slide rail 55 and the second slide rail 56, it can ensure that at least two support wheels are on the slide rail, thereby allowing the trolley 53 to smoothly pass through the area where the first slide rail 55 and the second slide rail 56 are disconnected. After the slide rail for the trolley 53 to roll is set on the base 6, the staff can move the trolley 53 more conveniently.

[0051] Accordingly, the specific use process of the translational swing in this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] In the initial state, the support frame 1 is located directly above the foundation 6. Before passengers board the ride 3, the passenger boarding and disembarking platform 5 is first moved to one side of the ride 3. Figure 6The passenger then enters the safety seat of the ride 3 via the passenger loading and unloading platform 5, and connects the separating device 83 to the ride 3 or the suspension structure 2. After the passenger's safety measures are complete, the hoist 82 winds up the lifting rope 84, lifting the ride 3 backward to a predetermined height. The passenger loading and unloading platform 5 is then moved leftward away from the ride 3. The drive device 4 then moves the support frame 1 forward to a predetermined position in front of the base 6. When the passenger is ready, the separating device 83 is released, and the passenger then swings 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 in front of the cliff, fully experiencing the thrill and excitement. After the swinging is completed, the support frame 1 is first moved backward to above the base 6, and the passenger loading and unloading platform 5 is then moved rightward to below the ride 3, allowing the passenger to safely disembark from the ride 3.
