Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement equipment, and in particular to a track vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there is an amusement ride called "360 Bicycle" on the market. The ride involves riders pedaling the bicycle to move in a circle along a vertical circular frame. The basic structure of this ride uses a vertical steel frame as the bicycle's track. The bicycle is driven in a circle around the inner ring of the steel frame. The bicycle is modified and welded to a long connecting rod, with a counterweight at the other end. The middle of the connecting rod is connected to a ground-mounted iron frame next to the circular steel frame via a pivot. Once the bicycle reaches a certain height, the counterweight acts as a lever, causing the bicycle to move around the pivot. When the bicycle passes the highest point and descends the slope, gravity causes it to slide downhill on its own.
[0003] The equipment has the following shortcomings: 1. High requirements are placed on the flatness and roundness of the inner surface of the large circular ring (the contact surface for bicycle travel). Otherwise, the wheels cannot maintain full contact with the contact surface, affecting the riding experience. 2. The bicycles used are simple modifications of common mountain bikes. The rider is secured to the backrest of the bicycle by a safety belt. The bicycle's flimsy structure causes instability and swaying when riding around the circle, resulting in a poor riding experience. 3. The exposed counterweights and connecting rods affect the aesthetics. Additional fixed brackets need to be installed on the ground to connect the connecting rods. These brackets are fixed to the ground with expansion bolts. The brackets shake under the force of the rider, causing the expansion bolts to loosen. Therefore, the entire connecting rod is unstable and swaying significantly, posing a safety risk to the rider. 4. The overall equipment appears flimsy and has a mediocre appearance. 5. Riding uphill requires considerable physical strength. Otherwise, the rider may not have enough strength to pedal uphill or reach the highest point of the circle. It is generally only suitable for teenagers or adults aged 15 and above.
[0004] The technical problem this application aims to solve is: how to improve the stability and safety of bicycles during riding. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical circular track trolley structure.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a vertical circular track trolley structure, including a trolley, a fixed frame assembly and a movable frame assembly. The fixed frame assembly includes a track frame, and the movable frame assembly includes a movable inner ring, a counterweight and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is used to fix the trolley. The movable inner ring is set on the inner ring of the track frame and moves at the upper limit of the track frame. The mounting bracket and the counterweight are respectively fixed at relative positions centered on the center of the movable inner ring. The trolley moves on the track frame.
[0007] In some embodiments, the movable frame assembly includes a rail-holding wheel set, which includes a fixed wheel frame that is fitted onto the track frame in a holding manner, and several rail-holding wheel sets are distributed on the movable inner ring.
[0008] In some embodiments, the track frame includes a limiting ring frame and a track ring groove, with the track ring groove fixedly disposed on the outer edge of the limiting ring frame.
[0009] In some embodiments, the rail-holding wheel assembly includes a front roller and two side rollers. The front roller and the side rollers rotate at the upper limit of the fixed wheel frame. The front roller rotates on the inner surface of the limiting ring frame, and the two side rollers rotate on the surface of the track ring groove.
[0010] In some implementations, the movable inner ring frame is composed of two rings combined with a movable gap between them, through which the trolley moves on the track frame.
[0011] In some embodiments, the fixed frame assembly includes a fixed base and a reinforcing frame, the reinforcing frame being vertically fixed on the fixed base and fixedly connected to the track frame.
[0012] In some embodiments, the trolley is equipped with a drive wheel, which is configured as a gear, and the inner surface of the track frame is uniformly covered with tooth grooves, and the drive wheel and the inner surface of the track frame are meshed for transmission.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This vertical circular track trolley structure fixes the trolley and counterweight to a movable inner ring. When the trolley moves, the movable inner ring rotates within the limit of the track frame, reducing the swaying that occurs when a single trolley rotates. The cooperation between the movable inner ring and the track frame improves the stability and safety of the trolley during movement. The counterweight is set on the movable inner ring, reducing the need for the previous linkage structure and making it more aesthetically pleasing. The change to a meshing drive method effectively reduces the physical requirements for users, making it suitable for younger users. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a vertical circular track trolley structure, including a fixed frame assembly 1, a movable frame assembly 2, and a trolley 3. The trolley 3 is similar to an existing bicycle, and is equipped with a safety harness for rider safety. The rider pedals the trolley 3, which, through chain and sprocket transmission, drives the drive wheel 31 of the trolley 3 to rotate. The drive wheel 31 is a gear. The trolley 3 is connected to the fixed frame assembly 1 via the movable frame assembly 2.
[0022] Please see Figure 2 The fixed frame assembly 1 includes a fixed base 11, a reinforcing frame 12, and a track frame 13. The track frame 13 is annular and includes a limiting ring frame and a track ring groove. The track ring groove is fixedly disposed on the outer edge of the limiting ring frame, and the inner surface of the limiting ring frame is uniformly covered with toothed grooves. The drive wheel meshes with the inner surface of the limiting ring frame for transmission. The reinforcing frame 12 is fixedly connected to the track frame 13, and the reinforcing frame 12 serves to fix the track frame 13 and enhance its rigidity. The reinforcing frame 12 is vertically fixed on the fixed base 11, which ensures that the reinforcing frame 12 and the track frame 13 are stably disposed on the plane.
[0023] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The movable frame assembly 2 includes a movable inner ring 21, a counterweight 22, a mounting bracket 23, and a set of rail-holding wheels 24. The movable inner ring 21 is mounted on the inner ring of the track frame 13 and moves within the upper limit of the track frame 13. The mounting bracket 23 is used to fix the trolley 3. The overall frame of the movable inner ring 21 is composed of two rings combined, with a movable gap between the two rings. After the trolley 3 is mounted on the mounting bracket 23, the drive wheel of the trolley 3 passes through the movable gap and abuts against the inner surface of the limiting ring frame. When the drive wheel 31 of the trolley 3 rotates on the inner surface of the limiting ring frame, the drive wheel 31 of the trolley 3 will engage with the inner surface of the limiting ring frame, thereby driving the trolley 3 to move, and the entire movable inner ring 21 will move with the trolley 3. The mounting bracket 23 and the counterweight 22 are respectively fixedly set at relative positions centered on the center of the movable inner ring 21. Several sets of rail-holding wheels 24 are evenly distributed on the movable inner ring 21. The rail-holding wheel assembly 24 includes a fixed wheel frame 241, a front roller 242, and side rollers 243. The side rollers 243 rotate within the fixed wheel frame 241. The front roller 242 is mounted on the fixed wheel frame 241, with a movable gap between it and the inner surface of the limiting ring frame. The fixed wheel frame 241 is fitted onto the track frame 13 in a holding manner, and the front roller 242 rotates on the inner surface of the limiting ring frame. The two side rollers 243 are respectively located on both sides of the track ring groove, forming a certain angle between their axial directions, and rotate on the surface of the track ring groove. The front roller 242 and side rollers 243 assist the moving inner ring 21 in rotating on the track frame 13, and the side rollers 243 limit the offset of the moving inner ring 21 on the track frame 13, ensuring that the moving inner ring 21 moves along a set direction during rotation, increasing the stability of the moving inner ring 21 and improving safety.
[0024] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When the rider steps on the pedal of the trolley 3, the drive wheel of the trolley 3 rotates. As the drive wheel rotates on the inner surface of the limiting ring frame, the two side rollers 243 rotate along the surface of the track ring groove. Due to the gravity of the counterweight 22 and the rider's continuous driving of the trolley 3, the trolley 3 and the moving inner ring 21 rotate together. When the trolley 3 rises to a certain height, the position of the counterweight 22 shifts, and the positions of the rider and the trolley 3 gradually rise. Due to the effect of the counterweight 22, even if the rider is unable to pedal the trolley 3, it will not cause the entire trolley to slide down rapidly in the opposite direction. When the rider pedals the trolley 3 past the highest point of the track frame 13, again due to the gravity of the counterweight 22, based on the lever principle, the trolley 3 can smoothly descend along the track frame 13 to the lowest point of the track frame 13. Furthermore, the rider can use the brake handles on both sides of the trolley 3's front to ensure a safe and stable ride throughout the entire journey.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
