Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a drive mechanism, and more specifically, to a drive mechanism for a swing amusement ride. Background Technology

[0002] As a classic swing ride, the pirate ship amusement facility's drive mechanism includes key components such as the drive unit, spindle, shaft, and friction wheels on the propulsion device. Due to varying loads or weather conditions, the friction wheels driven by the drive unit may not rotate in sync with the pirate ship's movement, resulting in a speed difference. This can easily cause wear and tear on the friction wheels, significantly shortening their lifespan. Furthermore, this speed difference is difficult to control, and it will occur to varying degrees depending on the load and weather conditions. Therefore, a drive mechanism that can extend the lifespan of the friction wheels is needed.

[0003] For the reasons mentioned above, how to extend the service life of the friction wheel is the problem that this application addresses. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a drive mechanism for a swing-type amusement ride is provided, which can extend the service life of the friction wheel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is provided: a driving mechanism for a swing amusement ride, comprising a driving assembly, a rotating connecting assembly connected to the driving assembly, a pressing assembly connected to the rotating connecting assembly, a transmission connecting assembly connected to the pressing assembly, the transmission connecting assembly being sleeved on the outside of the rotating connecting assembly, a friction wheel connected to the transmission connecting assembly, a disc spring included in the pressing assembly, a first steel plate included in the transmission connecting assembly, a second steel plate abutting against the first steel plate included in the rotating connecting assembly, a friction plate connected to the second steel plate included in the first steel plate, and a disc spring used to keep the friction plate, the first steel plate, and the second steel plate in close contact.

[0006] In summary, the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: the rotating connection assembly is the main component for transmitting rotational motion, and its ultimate purpose is to drive the friction wheel to rotate through the transmission connection assembly. The friction wheel achieves the overall rotational requirement by further connecting other components according to actual needs. Furthermore, the connection between the friction wheel and other components adopts a fixed connection method, so that no wear will occur on the friction wheel. The rotational connection assembly and the transmission connection assembly maintain the transmission of rotational motion through the friction force generated between the first steel plate, the second steel plate and the friction plate. The operating principle of the friction plate, the first steel plate and the second steel plate is similar to that of brake pads, which can effectively maintain relative stillness. This can control the wear on the friction plate, the first steel plate and the second steel plate. In addition, the friction plate, the first steel plate and the second steel plate are easy to replace, which can reduce maintenance costs. Furthermore, the friction plate can be fixedly connected to the first steel plate or the second steel plate, so that the friction surface can be controlled as a single surface.

[0007] When the friction plate, the first steel plate, and the second steel plate wear down, their thicknesses decrease, leading to a weakening of the friction effect. Therefore, a clamping assembly is installed to maintain the friction plate, the first steel plate, and the second steel plate at a relative stationary position. The clamping assembly mainly functions through a disc spring. The disc spring uses the rotating connection assembly as a base point to press the transmission connection assembly tightly against it. This maintains the transmission connection assembly and the rotating connection assembly at a relatively stationary position. Furthermore, under the action of the disc spring, the first steel plate is subjected to pressure. When the friction plate, the first steel plate, and the second steel plate wear down, this pressure pushes the first steel plate closer to the friction plate, allowing them to continue to maintain relative stationary position. At the same time, the transmission connection assembly and the rotating connection assembly also move closer to each other. Because the force direction of the disc spring is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the main drive shaft, the resulting movement can occur simultaneously with rotation without affecting the rotation, thus ensuring normal transmission even after the friction plate wears down.

[0008] Disc springs have high stiffness and can withstand large loads with small deformation. They are suitable for applications with small axial space requirements and the need to withstand large loads. Under the same deformation, disc springs can provide a greater load capacity than other types of springs. Therefore, disc springs are used instead of other springs.

[0009] This invention uses a first steel plate and a second steel plate as the medium for transmitting rotational motion. The resulting wear is also reflected in the thickness changes of the friction plate, the first steel plate, and the second steel plate. The pressure generated by the disc spring allows the friction plate, the first steel plate, and the second steel plate to remain relatively stationary, thus achieving the goal of normal transmission without separation even after the transmission contact surface wears down.

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a driving mechanism for a swing amusement ride includes a driving assembly 1, a rotating connection assembly 2 connected to the driving assembly 1, a pressing assembly 3 connected to the rotating connection assembly 2, a transmission connection assembly 4 connected to the pressing assembly 3, the transmission connection assembly 4 being sleeved on the outside of the rotating connection assembly 2, and a friction wheel 5 connected to the transmission connection assembly 4. The pressing assembly 3 includes a disc spring 31, the transmission connection assembly 4 includes a first steel plate 41, the rotating connection assembly 2 includes a second steel plate 21 abutting against the first steel plate 41, the first steel plate 41 being connected to a friction plate 22 connected to the second steel plate 21, and the disc spring 31 being used to keep the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21 in close contact.

[0021] Rotary connecting assembly 2 is the main component for transmitting rotational motion. Its ultimate purpose is to drive the friction wheel 5 to rotate via transmission connecting assembly 4. The friction wheel 5 achieves the overall rotational requirement by further connecting other components according to actual needs. The friction wheel 5 is fixedly connected to other components, thus preventing wear on the friction wheel 5. The rotational connecting assembly 2 and transmission connecting assembly 4 maintain the transmission of rotational motion through the friction generated between the first steel plate 41, the second steel plate 21, and the friction plate 22. The operating principle of the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21 is similar to that of brake pads, which can effectively maintain relative stillness. This controls wear on the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21. Furthermore, the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21 are easy to replace, reducing maintenance costs. In addition, the friction plate 22 can be fixedly connected to the first steel plate 41 or the second steel plate 21, thus controlling the friction surface to be a single surface.

[0022] When friction plate 22, first steel plate 41, and second steel plate 21 wear down, the thickness of all three components decreases, leading to a weakening of the friction effect. Therefore, a clamping assembly 3 is provided to maintain the friction plate 22, first steel plate 41, and second steel plate 21 at a relatively stationary position. The clamping assembly 3 primarily functions through a disc spring 31. The disc spring 31, using the rotating connection assembly 2 as a base point, clamps the transmission connection assembly 4 onto the rotating connection assembly 2. This maintains the transmission connection assembly 4 and the rotating connection assembly 2 at a relatively stationary state, and also... Under the action of disc spring 31, the first steel plate 41 is subjected to pressure. When friction plate 22, first steel plate 41 and second steel plate 21 wear, this pressure will push the first steel plate 41 closer to friction plate 22, so that friction plate 22, first steel plate 41 and second steel plate 21 continue to maintain relative stillness. At the same time, transmission connection assembly 4 and rotation connection assembly 2 will also move closer to each other. And because the force direction of disc spring 31 is perpendicular to the rotation direction of main transmission shaft 11, the resulting movement can be carried out at the same time as rotation without affecting rotation, so as to achieve normal transmission even after friction plate 22 wears.

[0023] Disc spring 31 has high stiffness and can withstand large loads with small deformation. It is suitable for applications with small axial space requirements and large loads. Under the same deformation, disc spring 31 can provide a greater load capacity than other types of springs. Therefore, disc spring 31 is used instead of other springs.

[0024] This invention uses the first steel plate 41 and the second steel plate 21 as the medium for transmitting rotational motion. The resulting wear is also reflected in the thickness changes of the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21. The pressing action generated by the disc spring 31 allows the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21 to remain relatively stationary, thereby achieving the goal of normal transmission without separation even after the transmission contact surface wears down.

[0025] Furthermore, the drive assembly 1 includes a main drive shaft 11, a second connecting ring 23 is fixedly connected to the main drive shaft 11, the second connecting ring 23 is fixedly connected to the second steel plate 21, and the second connecting ring 23 is provided with a second mounting groove 24 for mounting the second steel plate 21.

[0026] For stability reasons, all components are connected to the main drive shaft 11. The rotating connection component 2 serves as the reference for the installation of the other components. Therefore, the main drive shaft 11 is set as the main reference platform, and the second connecting ring 23 is set as a further extension. Since the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21 are the locations where wear occurs, the second connecting ring 23 is used to move the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21 away from the main drive shaft 11. This increases the torque, increases the contact area, and provides greater driving force.

[0027] In addition, the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41 and the second steel plate 21 are all far away from the main drive shaft 11, which can increase the friction area and thus improve the driving effect.

[0028] Furthermore, the transmission connection assembly 4 also includes a positioning post 42 fixedly connected to the main drive shaft 11. The positioning post 42 is rotatably connected to a rotating disk 43 that can slide along the positioning post 42. There is a gap between the rotating disk 43 and the main drive shaft 11. The rotating disk 43 is detachably connected to a connecting sleeve 44 fixedly connected to the friction wheel 5. A first connecting ring 45 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting sleeve 44 away from the rotating disk 43. The first connecting ring 45 is fixedly connected to the first steel plate 41. The first connecting ring 45 is provided with a first mounting groove 46 for mounting the first steel plate 41.

[0029] The first connecting ring 45 is designed in the same way as the second connecting ring 23. The gap between the rotating disk 43 and the main drive shaft 11 is provided to allow sufficient space for the rotating disk 43 when the disc spring 31 pushes the first steel plate 41 against the friction plate 22. The connecting sleeve 44 connects the first steel plate 41 and the friction wheel 5, which can maximize the efficiency of rotation transmission and reduce possible differential speed. The rotating disk 43 and the connecting sleeve 44 can form a sleeve, which can cover the connecting end of the main drive shaft 11 as much as possible, thus protecting the main drive shaft 11. During maintenance, the focus is on the maintenance of the connecting sleeve 44, reducing maintenance costs.

[0030] Furthermore, the cylindrical surface of the main drive shaft 11 is connected to a first bearing 25 that is connected to the connecting sleeve 44. The first bearing 25 has axial clearance, and the connecting sleeve 44 is rotatably connected to the main drive shaft 11 through the first bearing 25 and has axial movement space.

[0031] Since the disc spring 31 will drive the rotating disk 43 to move perpendicular to the rotation direction of the main drive shaft 11, the first bearing 25 needs to have a certain axial movement capability in addition to being able to rotate. For example, a needle roller bearing can be used to smoothly drive the rotating disk 43 to move.

[0032] Furthermore, the end of the positioning post 42 away from the main drive shaft 11 is fixedly connected to an adjusting nut 32 that abuts against the disc spring 31, and the end of the disc spring 31 away from the adjusting nut 32 is fixedly connected to a second bearing 33 that slides with the positioning post 42.

[0033] The adjusting nut 32 is detachably connected to the locking member 34, and the adjusting nut 32 and the positioning pin 42 are kept in a fixed position by the locking member 34.

[0034] The rotating disk 43 is provided with a third mounting groove 47 for mounting the second bearing 33;

[0035] The disc spring 31 itself provides a driving force perpendicular to the rotation direction of the main drive shaft 11. Therefore, when the positioning pin 42 rotates, the adjusting nut 32 is driven to rotate through the locking member 34. At this time, the disc spring 31 can still function normally, and the adjusting nut 32 plays a positioning role. The adjusting nut 32 itself is not fixed. The position of the adjusting nut 32 on the positioning pin 42 can be adjusted by rotating it, and then the position is kept fixed by the locking member 34, thereby controlling the gap of the disc spring 31. In addition, the adjusting nut 32 can be rotated by setting threads on the positioning pin 42.

[0036] The second bearing 33 can be directly accommodated in the third mounting groove 47. In order to further reduce the impact of vibration and better provide force, the second bearing 33 can be a ball bearing, and the two ends of the second bearing 33 can be made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity. This can reduce the possibility of the ball hitting the positioning post 42, and increase the actual contact area at both ends through the deformation of the second bearing 33, thereby increasing the friction and achieving a better fixing effect.

[0037] Furthermore, since the wear between the friction plate 22, the first steel plate 41, and the second steel plate 21 is continuous, and the disc spring 31 has a fixed minimum deformation force, the second bearing 33 can be used to further reduce the range of the minimum deformation force, thereby further achieving the goal of normal transmission without differential phenomenon after the transmission contact surface is worn.

[0038] Furthermore, the rotating disk 43 is fixedly connected to a housing 48 for protecting the disc spring 31. The housing 48 can prevent rain or dust from affecting the normal operation of the disc spring 31.

[0039] Furthermore, the connecting sleeve 44 is provided with an oil injection channel 49 extending to the first bearing 25, so that the first bearing 25 can be lubricated and maintained without removing the connecting sleeve 44.

[0040] Furthermore, the number of rotating connection assembly 2, clamping assembly 3, transmission connection assembly 4 and friction wheel 5 are all two and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drive assembly 1, which can increase the actual rotational driving force generated.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
