[0028] 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.
[0029] See also Figures 1-6 The utility model provides the following technical solutions: a shock-absorbing and noise-reducing mechanism for a boomerang roller coaster, comprising a non-return track 1, a non-return tooth block 2 is installed in an array on the top of the non-return track 1, and an auxiliary track 3 is connected to one side of the non-return track 1;
[0030] Example 1: Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, the device reduces the noise generated by the backstop device during the running of the roller coaster through the noise reduction mechanism, as follows:
[0031] A noise reduction mechanism for reducing shock and noise during the running of the roller coaster is provided above the non-return track 1. The noise reduction mechanism includes a non-return claw 4. One end of the non-return claw 4 is sleeved with a connecting shaft 5, and one end of the connecting shaft 5 is connected to the body of the roller coaster. At the same time, the other end of the non-return claw 4 is stuck between the two non-return tooth blocks 2. One end of the top of the non-return claw 4 is hingedly mounted with the bottom of an L-shaped connector 6. The upper part of one side of the L-shaped connector 6 is connected to one side of the adjusting slider 10. The adjusting slider 10 is sleeved and mounted on the lower part of the outer side of the moving stud 11.
[0032] The movable stud 11 is installed between the top and bottom of the cavity of the protective box 12. Guide rods 13 are installed at both ends between the top and bottom of the cavity of the protective box 12, and the two guide rods 13 are located on both sides of the movable stud 11. Limiting ear plates 14 are correspondingly installed at both ends of the adjusting slider 10. The two limiting ear plates 14 are respectively sleeved on the outer sides of the two guide rods 13. A side cover 15 is installed on one side of the protective box 12. A movable through slot 16 is opened on one side of the side cover 15, and the upper side of the L-shaped connector 6 passes through the movable through slot 16 and is connected to one side of the adjusting slider 10;
[0033] The adjusting slider 10 utilizes the L-shaped connector 6 to affect the anti-return claw 4 by the adjusting slider 10. As the adjusting slider 10 moves, the working state between the adjusting slider 10 and the anti-return tooth block 2 is adjusted to avoid noise generated during unnecessary contact between the anti-return tooth block 2 and the anti-return claw 4. The guide rod 13 and the limiting ear plate 14 cooperate to enable the adjusting slider 10 to move better on the moving stud 11.
[0034] Example 2: Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the device utilizes a power mechanism to adjust the relationship between the anti-return claw 4 and the anti-return tooth block 2 according to the running state of the roller coaster, as follows:
[0035] One side of the noise reduction mechanism is provided with a power mechanism for driving the anti-return claw 4 to reduce noise. The power mechanism includes a rotating bevel gear 8, which is engaged with the driving bevel gear 9. The rotating bevel gear 8 is mounted on the top of the protective box 12. An assembly plate 17 is mounted on one side of the top of the protective box 12. One side of the assembly plate 17 is connected to the driving bevel gear 9. A power shaft 18 is mounted on the other side of the assembly plate 17, and one end of the power shaft 18 is connected to one end of the driving bevel gear 9. A belt 19 is sleeved on the outside of the power shaft 18, and one end of the belt 19 is sleeved in a sleeve groove 21 opened on the outside of the driving wheel 20.
[0036] By means of the cooperation of the belt 19, the driving wheel 20 and the power shaft 18, the rotating bevel gear 8 is controlled by the driving bevel gear 9, thereby controlling the rotation of the movable stud 11. When the roller coaster is lifted, the driving wheel 20 rotates counterclockwise, and the adjusting slider 10 on the movable stud 11 moves upward, so that the non-return claw 4 disengages from the non-return tooth block 2. When the roller coaster reverses backward, the adjusting slider 10 on the movable stud 11 moves up and down, so that the non-return claw 4 moves down and clamps the non-return tooth block 2, thereby preventing the roller coaster from reversing.
[0037] Example 3: Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the device uses a soft rubber layer 23 to reduce the noise during the movement of the driving wheel 20, as follows:
[0038] The auxiliary track 3 is provided with movable limit grooves 22 at the top and bottom, and a soft rubber layer 23 is installed in the cavity of the two movable limit grooves 22. The driving wheel 20 is installed above one side of the assembly plate 24. The auxiliary wheel 7 is installed below one side of the assembly plate 24. The assembly plate 24 is located on one side of the auxiliary track 3, and the driving wheel 20 and the auxiliary wheel 7 are respectively inserted into the two movable limit grooves 22.
[0039] The movable limiting groove 22 on the auxiliary track 3 prevents the driving wheel 20 and the auxiliary wheel 7 from derailing, thereby rendering the noise reduction mechanism ineffective. At the same time, the soft rubber layer 23 is used to reduce the noise during the movement of the driving wheel 20.
[0040] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
