Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tsunami experience devices, specifically a popular science experience device that simulates a tsunami. Background Technology

[0002] Tsunami simulation devices work by vacuuming water accumulated in a wave pool into a machine, and then releasing a powerful artificial wave from the machine back into the wave pool to simulate a natural tsunami. However, existing tsunami simulation devices are complex in structure and large in size, and differ from the real tsunami caused by a sudden rise or fall in seawater, which is not conducive to the experience for users.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, patent CN219320910U discloses a tsunami simulation experience device. This device includes a simulation pool, fine sand filled inside the pool, a hydraulic cylinder fixedly installed on the outside of the pool, and a pusher plate located inside the pool and fixedly installed with the hydraulic cylinder. The simulation pool is elongated, and the fine sand occupies half of the pool, forming a sandy beach as it is pushed by simulated ocean waves. This invention uses a hydraulic cylinder to drive the pusher plate. The amplitude and frequency of the pusher plate's movement simulate the formation and intensification of a tsunami. Through its simple structure, it allows users to intuitively understand the formation process and destructive power of a tsunami, enabling them to calmly respond and escape when they actually encounter one.

[0004] Although the devices in the existing technology can simulate the formation of tsunamis, the experience is limited because the user is standing on a platform and cannot personally feel the impact of the tsunami, thus failing to provide a realistic sense of its impact. Therefore, this issue urgently needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To avoid and overcome the technical problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a science popularization experience device that simulates a tsunami. This utility model can effectively improve the realistic experience of a tsunami.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A science popularization experience device simulating a tsunami includes a water tank with a pusher plate installed inside the tank that can repeatedly push water to form waves; a ring frame is slidably arranged inside the water tank, and a waterproof sleeve is sealed at the bottom of the ring frame. The torso of the experiencer is covered inside the waterproof sleeve, and the ring frame is clamped under the armpits of the experiencer; the waves can push the experiencer inside the waterproof sleeve to move back and forth along the flow path of the waves; a chain plate is arranged below the ring frame to support the experiencer standing in the water tank, and a drive component is arranged below the chain plate to drive the chain plate to produce wave-like undulating motion.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the driving component includes a push rod installed at the bottom of the chain plate, which can slide along the length of the chain plate to lift each support plate in sequence.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a roller is rotatably mounted on the top of the top rod, and the rotation axis of the roller is parallel to the hinge axis of each support plate in the chain plate.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the driving component also includes a driving sprocket and a driven sprocket installed in the water tank, and a chain ring is sleeved on the outside of the driving sprocket and the driven sprocket, and the push rod is fixedly installed on the outside of the chain ring.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the active sprocket drive is installed on the motor shaft of the drive motor.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the push plate is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the extension and retraction direction of the telescopic rod is parallel to the length direction of the water tank.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: guide grooves are provided on the lower sides of the two opposing frames of the annular frame, and the guide grooves are engaged with the sides of the water tank.

[0015] As a further improvement of this utility model: the cross-section of the guide groove is T-shaped, and the cross-section of the side of the water tank is T-shaped to match the T-shaped guide groove.

[0016] As a further improvement of this utility model, both ends of the chain plate are hinged to the water tank via hinge seats.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This application, through the combination of a water tank and a push plate, simulates the propulsive effect of tsunami waves, providing users with a highly realistic tsunami simulation experience. The design of the circular frame and waterproof sleeve ensures the safety and comfort of the user during the experience, while the water waves propel the user back and forth, enhancing the immersion and realism of the experience. The addition of chain plates and drive components allows users to feel more complex and varied wave fluctuations, increasing the fun and appeal of the device.

[0019] 2. The design of the top rod allows the chain plate to produce wave-like undulating movements, further simulating the undulating changes of ocean waves during a tsunami and enhancing the realism of the experience. The top rod can slide along the length of the chain plate, making the wave-like undulations more natural and smooth, thus improving the simulation effect of the device.

[0020] 3. The slewing design of the idler rollers reduces friction and wear between the top rod and the chain plate, thus improving the service life of the device. Simultaneously, the slewing axis of the idler rollers is parallel to the hinge axes of the various support plates in the chain plate, ensuring the stability and coordination of the chain plate during undulations.

[0021] 4. The combination of the driving and driven sprockets, through chain drive, enables the automatic and continuous movement of the push rod, thereby driving the chain plate to produce a wave-like undulating motion. This design simplifies the drive mechanism of the device and improves its reliability and stability.

[0022] 5. The introduction of the drive motor provides a stable and reliable power source for the device, ensuring the continuous and smooth rotation of the drive sprocket. This design makes the simulation effect of the device more stable and controllable, improving user satisfaction.

[0023] 6. The telescopic rod design allows the push plate to be adjusted in position in the water tank as needed, thereby changing the pushing effect of the water waves and the simulated experience, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the device, and meeting the needs of different users.

[0024] 7. The extension and retraction direction of the telescopic rod is parallel to the length direction of the water tank, ensuring that the push plate can move evenly and continuously along the length direction of the water tank when pushing the water waves, thus creating a more natural and realistic water wave effect.

[0025] 8. The guide groove design allows the ring frame to be stably engaged with the edge of the water tank, ensuring the safety of the user during the experience. At the same time, the guide groove also guides the ring frame to move along the length of the water tank.

[0026] 9. The T-shaped design enhances the connection strength and stability between the guide groove and the water tank edge, preventing the ring frame from shaking or falling off during use. This design also facilitates the installation and removal of the ring frame, improving the device's convenience.

[0027] 10. The hinged base design allows the chain plate to undulate and swing flexibly within the water tank, further simulating the wave effect of a tsunami. Simultaneously, the hinged base also serves to fix the position of the chain plate, ensuring the stability and safety of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0031] 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.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-2 In this embodiment of the invention, a science popularization experience device simulating a tsunami includes a rectangular water tank 1. A hydraulic cylinder serving as a telescopic rod 5 is installed at one end of the water tank 1, and a push plate 51 is fixedly installed at the driving end of the hydraulic cylinder. The push plate 51 is slightly smaller than the cross-section of the water tank 1, so that when pushing water, the water can flow through the gap between the push plate 51 and the inner wall of the water tank 1, avoiding causing large fluctuations.

[0033] A drive sprocket 41 and a driven sprocket 42 are rotatably mounted at the bottom of the water tank 1, with their rotation axes parallel to the width of the water tank 1. A chain ring 43 is fitted around the outer sides of the drive sprocket 41 and the driven sprocket 42. A drive motor located outside the water tank 1 drives the drive sprocket 41 to rotate, thereby causing the chain ring 43 to rotate. A top rod 44 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the chain ring 43 and rotates synchronously with it. A roller 45 is rotatably mounted on the top of the top rod 44, with its rotation axis parallel to the hinge axes of the support plates 31 in the chain plate 3.

[0034] A chain plate 3 is also installed above the sprocket. The chain plate 3 is composed of multiple support plates 31 hinged together, and the support plates 31 at both ends of the chain plate 3 are hinged to the inner wall of the water tank 1 through hinge seats 32. When the top rod 44 rotates with the chain ring 43, the roller 45 at its top moves along the length of the chain plate 3, thereby lifting the support plates 31 one by one to simulate the undulating state of ocean waves, giving the user a realistic tsunami experience from their footsteps.

[0035] Guide grooves are provided on the lower sides of the two opposing frames of the annular frame 2, and the guide grooves are engaged with the groove edge of the water tank 1. In order to further improve the stability of the connection between the annular frame 2 and the water tank 1, the cross-section of the guide groove is designed to be T-shaped, and the cross-section of the groove edge of the water tank 1 is T-shaped to match the T-shaped guide groove.

[0036] To prevent water from soaking the participants' clothes, a waterproof cover 21 was sealed and installed on the ring frame 2. The waterproof cover 21 is made of a relatively wear-resistant elastic material so that it will not be torn when the participants' legs swing.

[0037] In use, the user enters the waterproof sleeve 21 via an external ladder. At this point, the ring frame 2 is roughly under the user's armpits, and the user holds onto the ring frame 2 with both hands while standing on the chain plate 3. Then, the hydraulic cylinder is activated, pushing the push plate 51 repeatedly, gradually pushing the water and creating waves. Simultaneously, the drive motor is started, and the chain ring 43 drives the top rod 44 to rotate, thus causing the chain plate 3 under the user's feet to float up and down. The user swings repeatedly in the water tank 1 under the impact of the waves, while the chain plate 3 under their feet fluctuates, making the user feel both floating and unable to stand firmly, thus providing a more realistic experience of the feeling of being adrift in water during a tsunami.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
