[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The utility model provides an interactive amusement equipment with a transmission gear, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the device comprises an iron frame 1, with a chain box 3 mounted on top. A support column 5 is mounted on one side of the chain box 3. A set of top gears 6 are mounted on the top of the support column 5. A support plate 7 is mounted on the outside of the support column 5. A set of side wall gears 71 are mounted on the sidewalls of the support plate 7. A chain 31 is mounted on the inside of the chain box 3 via two sprockets. Several small buckets 32 are mounted on the outside of the chain 31. A PVC pipe 4 is connected to the outside of the chain box 3. Small balls are placed in the small buckets 32. The device uses the chain 31 as a transmission medium, with the sprockets driving the chain 31 to circulate within the chain box 3. The small buckets 32 mounted on the outside of the chain 31 move with the chain, effectively scooping up and transporting the balls, achieving an organic combination of mechanical transmission and interactive amusement. During operation, visitors can intuitively experience the mechanical charm of the gear transmission and the movement of the balls in the buckets, enhancing their sense of participation and fun.

[0025] The main body of the device utilizes an iron frame 1 as its support structure, ensuring its overall stability and load-bearing capacity. The ingenious combination of the chain box 3, support column 5, and support plate 7 not only provides a secure mounting base for the chain 31 and small bucket 32, but also further enhances structural stability and transmission reliability through the meshing transmission of the top gear 6 and sidewall gears 71. The introduction of the PVC pipe 4 not only serves as a channel for the balls to roll down, but is also secured to the support column 5 and support plate 7 via a clip 41, ensuring the safety and smoothness of the balls during rolling.

[0026] The device integrates multiple functions, including chain drive, gear meshing, ball transport, and tumbling, within a limited space, achieving efficient utilization of the amusement facility. A chain box (3) is mounted on top of the iron frame (1), saving floor space and facilitating observation and operation. The PVC pipe (4) connection design not only allows for the recycling of the balls but also, through its curved bends, reduces space usage and collision noise, enhancing the comfort and aesthetics of the amusement environment.

[0027] In this embodiment, the top gear 6 is comprised of several gears of varying sizes that mesh sequentially, while the sidewall gears 71 are comprised of several gears of varying sizes that mesh sequentially. This design not only enhances the layered and visually appealing nature of the gear transmission but also makes the transmission more stable and reliable. During operation, visitors can intuitively experience the precise coordination and transmission of the gears, further enhancing the fun and interactivity of the ride.

[0028] Specifically, one end of the PVC pipe 4 is connected to the highest point of the chain box 3, and the other end is connected to the interior of the iron frame 1. This design allows for the recycling of the balls. After being transported to the highest point of the chain box 3 by the small bucket 32, the balls smoothly enter the PVC pipe 4 and roll down the pipe into the iron frame 1, ready for the next cycle. This design not only improves the continuity and playability of the amusement ride, but also ensures the safety and stability of the balls during their rolling process.

[0029] Furthermore, chain 31 drives small bucket 32 ​​to scoop up the balls from iron frame 1 and transport them upward. Once they reach the highest point, they are conveyed into PVC pipe 4, where they roll down into iron frame 1. This achieves automatic ball circulation. This design not only simplifies the operation of the amusement facility but also enhances visitor engagement and experience.

[0030] Furthermore, the portion of the PVC pipe 4 near the support column 5 is secured to the support column 5 via a clip 41, and the portion of the PVC pipe 4 near the support plate 7 is also secured to the support plate 7 via a clip 41. This design not only ensures the stability and safety of the pipe but also facilitates its removal and maintenance. Furthermore, the clip 41 securing method reduces vibration and noise generated by the pipe during rolling, enhancing the comfort and aesthetics of the amusement environment.

[0031] Furthermore, a crank handle 2 is mounted on one side of the iron frame 1. Its drive shaft is connected to the axis of the sprocket at the bottom end of the chain 31. This design allows visitors to directly rotate the chain 31 by cranking the handle 2, thereby driving the entire amusement facility. This manual operation not only enhances visitor participation and interactivity, but also improves their hands-on and coordination skills.

[0032] Furthermore, a top frame 61 is mounted on one side of the top of the support plate 7, and the top gear 6 is fixed to the top frame 61 via bearings. This design not only provides stable support and fixation for the top gear 6, but also ensures the smoothness and reliability of the gear transmission. Furthermore, the installation of the top frame 61 also facilitates maintenance and repair of the top gear 6.

[0033] Furthermore, the iron frame 1 is a circular trough-like structure with several supporting ribs installed inside. This design not only enhances the overall strength and stability of the iron frame 1, but also provides visitors with a more spacious and comfortable playing space. Furthermore, the circular trough-like structure also makes the amusement facility more aesthetically pleasing and attractive. This design enhances the overall strength and stability of the iron frame 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the bends in the PVC pipe 4 are curved. This design not only reduces the impact and resistance of the ball during rolling, but also allows the ball to roll more smoothly and safely into the iron frame 1. Furthermore, the curved structure reduces noise and vibration generated by the pipe during rolling, enhancing the comfort and quietness of the amusement environment.

[0035] When the interactive amusement equipment with transmission gears of the present invention is used, first, the visitor starts the equipment by cranking the handle 2. The transmission shaft of the cranking handle 2 is connected to the axis of the sprocket at the bottom end of the chain 31. Therefore, the rotational motion of the cranking handle 2 is directly transmitted to the chain 31, driving it to circulate in the chain box 3.

[0036] Small buckets 32 mounted on the outside of chain 31 move with the movement of chain 31. As they pass through the interior of iron frame 1, they scoop up the pellets placed there. As chain 31 continues to move, the small buckets 32 carry the pellets upward to the highest point of chain case 3. When the small buckets 32 reach the highest point of chain case 3, they pour the pellets into PVC pipe 4 connected to one side of chain case 3.

[0037] One end of the PVC pipe 4 is connected to the highest point of the chain box 3, and the other end extends to the inside of the iron frame 1 to form a circulation channel for a small ball.

[0038] After the ball enters the PVC pipe 4, it rolls down the pipe. The bend of the PVC pipe 4 is designed as an arc structure to reduce the impact and resistance of the ball during rolling, ensuring that the ball can roll smoothly and safely into the iron frame 1. The falling ball will be scooped up again by the small bucket 32, starting a new cycle.

[0039] During the entire working process, the top gear 6 and the side wall gear 71 are precisely meshed and transmitted, which not only enhances the stability of the structure and the reliability of the transmission, but also provides visitors with an opportunity to appreciate the gear transmission.

[0040] The top gear 6 and the side wall gear 71 are designed as several gears of different sizes that mesh in sequence. This design enhances the layering and viewing experience of the gear transmission, allowing visitors to intuitively feel the precise fit and transmission charm between the gears during operation.

[0041] Visitors manually operate the device by cranking the handle 2, which not only enhances the sense of participation and fun of the ride, but also exercises their hands-on ability and coordination skills. The design of the entire device allows visitors to intuitively observe the movement of the ball and the transmission process of the gears, further enhancing the interactivity and viewing experience of the ride.
