[0002] With the continuous advancement of amusement ride technology, rides require unique motion and rich experiences to attract a large number of visitors. Modern rides are no longer limited to simple motion modes such as rotation, lifting, or swinging. Instead, they pursue more unique, novel, and creative motion methods, aiming to provide visitors with unprecedented experiences and visual impact. This development trend not only reflects consumers' increasing demand for high-quality entertainment experiences, but also reflects the continuous breakthroughs in technological challenges by amusement ride manufacturers to meet market demand.
[0003] Therefore, the utility model proposes a new undulating, swinging and rotating amusement equipment which is safe, stable and more interesting. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides an undulating, swinging and rotating amusement device.
[0005] The undulating, swinging, rotating amusement equipment described in the utility model includes a main beam and a slewing bracket. The slewing bracket can rotate in the horizontal direction under the action of a rotating drive device. The middle part of the main beam is rotatably connected to the slewing bracket. The main beam can swing back and forth under the action of the swinging drive device, so that the two ends of the main beam rise and fall alternately. Seats are provided at both ends of the main beam.
[0006] The motion modes of the utility model include the rotation of the slewing bracket and the swinging of the main beam alternately rising and falling at both ends of the slewing bracket. Through the combination of these two motions, a circular wave-shaped motion trajectory can be generated, bringing a more enjoyable experience and visual impact.
[0007] The main beam can be opened from the center to separate into two left and right sections. After opening from the center, the ends of the left and right sections can be lowered simultaneously. The left and right sections of the main beam are rotatably connected, and an opening and closing drive device is installed between them. After the left and right sections of the main beam are connected, they can be fixed together by a locking device. After the main beam is opened from the center and the ends of the left and right sections are lowered simultaneously, it is convenient for tourists to climb onto the seats from both ends. The seats are equipped with safety belts. After the safety belts are locked, the left and right sections of the main beam are connected again.
[0008] Furthermore, seat frames are provided at both ends of the main beam, and a plurality of seats are arranged on the seat frames.
[0009] The seat frame is pivotally connected to the main beam, and a pull rod is installed between the seat frame and the slewing bracket. The pull rod is pivotally connected to the slewing bracket and the seat frame. The slewing bracket, main beam, seat frame, and pull rod form a parallelogram linkage mechanism, ensuring that the seat on the seat frame is always parallel to the ground during movement. This provides visitors with a fun experience while reducing the discomfort of shaking and preventing dizziness.
[0010] The rotary drive device of the utility model comprises a rotary gear ring, a drive motor and a drive gear on the output shaft of the drive motor. The rotary gear ring is fixed to the bottom of the rotary bracket, and the drive gear is meshed with the rotary gear ring.
[0011] The swing drive device described in this utility model includes a drive cylinder and a drive arm. The drive arm is located below the main beam, with one end fixed to the main beam and the other end rotatably connected to the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder.

The continuous extension and retraction of the drive cylinder drives the drive arm to swing, thereby driving the main beam to swing.
[0012] Preferably, multiple groups of driving cylinders are provided, and driving cylinders are provided on both sides of the driving arm to meet the driving force requirements.
[0013] Furthermore, both drive cylinders are equipped with accumulators, capable of storing energy and releasing it when needed. In the hydraulic system of this utility model, this energy can be converted into compressed energy or potential energy at the appropriate time and stored. When needed, this compressed energy or potential energy can be converted into hydraulic or pneumatic pressure and released to replenish the system, reducing the hydraulic system's energy consumption. While one accumulator stores energy, the other releases it, alternating between the two as the main beam swings.
[0014] The opening and closing driving device of the utility model is an opening and closing oil cylinder, and both ends of the opening and closing oil cylinder are respectively connected to the left and right parts of the main beam.
[0015] Preferably, a buffer is provided on the slewing bracket for supporting the main beam at the lowest position, which prevents hard contact of components during swinging and falling back, thereby improving the visitor experience.

[0028] However, the description of the present invention is merely an embodiment of structural and even functional description, and the scope of rights of the present invention is not limited by the embodiments described herein.
[0029] For example, multiple embodiments may have various modifications and various forms, and it should be understood that the scope of rights of the present invention includes equivalents that can implement the technical idea.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment is implemented through the following technical solutions: it includes a main beam 6 and a slewing bracket 3. The slewing bracket 33 is located on the machine base 1. The slewing bracket 3 can rotate horizontally under the action of a rotation drive device. The main beam 6 is rotatably connected to the slewing bracket 3 via a lower hinge shaft D13. The main beam 6 can swing back and forth under the action of a swing drive device, causing the two ends of the main beam 6 to alternately rise and fall. Seats 17 are provided at both ends of the main beam 6. The rotation drive device includes a slewing ring gear 2, a drive motor, and a drive gear on the output shaft of the drive motor. The slewing ring gear 2 is fixed to the bottom of the slewing bracket 3. The drive gear meshes with the slewing ring gear 2. The drive motor drives the slewing ring gear 2 to rotate, thereby driving the slewing bracket 3 to rotate.
[0031] The main beam 6 serves as the main body of the swing, and it can be opened from the middle and divided into left and right parts. After opening from the middle, the ends of the left and right parts can be lowered at the same time so that tourists can get on the seats 17 from both ends. Figure 4 The left and right parts of the main beam 6 are rotatably connected at the lower hinge axis D13, and an opening and closing cylinder 16 is provided between them to control the opening and docking of the main beam 6; after the left and right parts of the main beam 6 are docked, they can be fixed together by a locking device 7.
[0032] In this embodiment, seat frames 9 are provided at both ends of the main beam 6, and a number of seats 17 are arranged on the seat frames 9. The seat frames 9 are rotatably connected to the main beam 6 via a hinge axis B11. A pull rod 8 is also provided between the seat frames 9 and the slewing bracket 3. One end of the pull rod 8 is rotatably connected to the seat frames 9 via a hinge axis A10, and the other end is rotatably connected to the slewing bracket 3 via a hinge axis C12. The slewing bracket 3, main beam 6, seat frames 9, and pull rod 8 form a parallelogram linkage mechanism, ensuring that the seats 17 on the seat frames 9 remain parallel to the ground during movement. This provides visitors with a fun experience while reducing the discomfort of shaking and preventing dizziness.
[0033] The swing drive device of this embodiment includes a drive cylinder 4 and a drive arm 14. The drive arm 14 is located below the main beam 6, with one end fixedly connected to the main beam 6 and the other end pivotally connected to the telescopic rod of the drive cylinder 4. The drive arm 14 is arranged vertically, while the drive cylinder 4 is arranged horizontally. Four drive cylinders 4 are provided, two on each side of the drive arm 14. Each drive cylinder 4 is equipped with an accumulator 20. When one accumulator stores energy, the other releases energy, alternating with the swing of the main beam 6, reducing energy consumption in the hydraulic system.

[0034] The slewing bracket 3 of this embodiment is provided with a buffer 15 for supporting the main beam 6 at the lowest position, which prevents hard contact between components during swinging and falling back, thereby improving the tourist experience.
[0035] The motion mode of the present invention includes two motions: the rotation of the slewing bracket 3 and the alternating undulating swing of the main beam 6 at both ends of the slewing bracket 3. Through the combination of these two motions, a circular wavy motion trajectory can be generated, bringing a more enjoyable experience and visual impact.
[0036] In this embodiment, both ends of the main beam 6 are further provided with decorative panels 19 .
[0037] The specific working process or principle of this utility model:
[0038] The opening and closing cylinder 16 extends, the main beam 6 opens from the middle, and the seats 17 at both ends fall onto the raised lifting platform 18. Visitors climb onto the seats 17 via the lifting platform 18, and the seat belts of the seats 17 are locked. After the seat belts are locked, the opening and closing cylinder 16 retracts, the main beam 6 abuts and closes, and the seats 17 at both ends rise and leave the lifting platform 18. The locking device 7 locks the left and right parts of the main beam 6 together, and the lifting platform 18 descends to be flush with the ground to prevent visitors' feet from contacting the lifting platform 18 during the movement of the equipment and causing injury. The equipment starts, the slewing bracket 3 rotates, and the main beam 6 alternately swings up and down at both ends on the slewing bracket 3. The combination of these two movements produces a circular, wavy motion trajectory. During this process, the seat 17 is stable, and the seat surface is always parallel to the ground. After the end, the lifting platform 18 rises, the locking device 7 unlocks, the opening and closing cylinder 16 extends, the main beam 6 opens from the middle, and the seats 17 at both ends fall onto the raised lifting platform 18. The safety belts of the seats 17 unlock, and the tourists return to the ground through the lifting platform 18. The equipment of the utility model is equipped with an interlocking system. Only when the safety device or locking device of each step is locked can the next step be carried out, thereby ensuring the personal safety of tourists.
