Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement equipment technology, and in particular to a connecting device for a swing amusement equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Pirate ships are a common type of swinging amusement ride in amusement parks. In the construction of existing small pirate ship amusement facilities, the hull, bottom crossbar, and diagonal braces of the pirate ship are all prefabricated in the factory. The hull, bottom crossbar, and diagonal braces are welded together. The two diagonal braces form an A-shaped structure similar to an A-frame. During assembly, the top of the welded diagonal braces needs to be welded to the crossbeam on the A-frame, and the crossbeam is then rotated and installed on the A-frame.

[0003] During long-term production, the following common problems were found during assembly: Due to positional errors during the welding of the hull bottom crossbar, the angles of the diagonal tie rods welded to the crossbar also deviated. After the two sets of diagonal tie rods were welded, the line connecting the tops of the two sets of tie rods must be parallel to the crossbeam for accurate welding. However, the aforementioned positional error resulted in an angle between the line connecting the tops of the two sets of tie rods and the crossbeam, making accurate welding impossible. External force was often required to pull and correct the position before assembly could be completed.

[0004] In view of the above situation, and considering that there are many swing-type amusement equipment in amusement parks, such as pirate ships, swings, and rocking chairs, and that similar situations exist in assembled models, this application proposes a connection device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that the connection structure of the existing swing amusement equipment is not easy to connect during assembly, and to propose a connection device for swing amusement equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A connecting device for a swing-type amusement equipment includes an upper hanging ear, a lower hanging ear, and a ear plate arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The top of the upper hanging ear is connected to a crossbeam, the upper hanging ear and the lower hanging ear are hinged together, the bottom of the lower hanging ear is screwed to the top of a diagonal tie rod, the top of the ear plate is screwed to the bottom of the diagonal tie rod, and the bottom of the ear plate is connected to a crossbar at the bottom of the boat.

[0008] Furthermore, there are four upper hanging ears, with two upper hanging ears forming a group, and the upper hanging ears in each group are spaced apart, with the crossbeam passing through the upper hanging ears.

[0009] Furthermore, a pin is provided between the upper and lower hanging ears, and the pin passes through the upper and lower hanging ears along the axial direction of the crossbeam, and the upper and lower hanging ears are rotatably connected together by the pin.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper hanging ear is rotatably connected to the crossbeam, and a limit block is provided between the two upper hanging ears in each group, and the limit block is fixedly connected to the crossbeam.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes inner limiting holes and mating holes at both ends of the tie rod, wherein the axial direction of the inner limiting holes and mating holes is parallel to the axial direction of the crossbeam, and the lower hanging ear and ear plate are respectively provided with outer limiting holes corresponding to the inner limiting holes and elliptical holes corresponding to the mating holes.

[0012] Furthermore, the mating hole is located on the side of the inner limiting hole near the middle of the diagonal tie rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the major axis of the elliptical hole is set along the swing direction of the tie rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a connecting device for a swing-type amusement equipment, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This utility model discloses a connecting device for a swing-type amusement equipment. During assembly, the hull support is first fixed in the installation position, and the A-frame is fixed in the predetermined position. Then, one end of the diagonal tie rod is bolted to the lower hanging lug or lug plate. After rotating the diagonal tie rod, the other end is also bolted. Finally, the bolts are tightened. Compared with the traditional method of directly welding the diagonal tie rod to the hull, the diagonal tie rod has a certain amount of room for movement when bolted together, thus allowing for a small deviation in the diagonal tie rod during assembly and reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0016] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows; and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following description; or may be taught from practice of this invention.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a connecting device for a swinging amusement equipment. Taking a small pirate ship as an example, the pirate ship includes an A-frame 1 and a hull 2. A crossbeam 101 is installed on the top of the A-frame 1, and a bottom crossbar 201 is installed on the bottom of the hull 2. The crossbeam 101 and the bottom crossbar 201 face the same direction and are perpendicular to the swinging direction of the hull 2.

[0025] This device includes an upper hanging ear 401, a lower hanging ear 402 and an ear plate 5 installed sequentially from top to bottom. The upper hanging ear 401 is a long strip plate structure with holes at both ends, and the lower hanging ear 402 is a triangular plate structure that is smaller at the top and larger at the bottom.

[0026] The top of the upper hanging ear 401 is rotatably connected to the crossbeam 101. The upper hanging ear 401 and the lower hanging ear 402 are rotatably connected together by the pin 403. The bottom of the lower hanging ear 402 is screwed to the top of the diagonal tie rod 3. The top of the ear plate 5 is screwed to the bottom of the diagonal tie rod 3. The bottom of the ear plate 5 is welded to the bottom crossbar 201. The screw connection is used instead of the original welding connection method of the diagonal tie rod 3, which reduces the assembly difficulty.

[0027] There are four upper hanging ears 401, with two upper hanging ears 401 forming a group. Each group of upper hanging ears 401 is installed on the crossbeam 101 at intervals. The crossbeam 101 passes through the hole at the top of the upper hanging ears 401 and is rotatably connected between the upper hanging ears 401 to increase the rotation flexibility of the lower hanging ears 402.

[0028] A pin 403 is installed between the upper hanging ear 401 and the lower hanging ear 402. The pin 403 passes through the hole at the bottom of the upper hanging ear 401 and the hole at the top of the lower hanging ear 402 along the axial direction of the crossbeam 101. The lower hanging ear 402 is installed between the two upper hanging ears 401 in each group. The upper hanging ear 401 and the lower hanging ear 402 are rotatably connected together by the pin 403.

[0029] The upper hanging ear 401 is rotatably connected to the crossbeam 101. A limit block 406 is installed between the two upper hanging ears 401 in each group. The limit block 406 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 101 to constrain the position of each group of upper hanging ears 401 and prevent the upper hanging ears 401 from moving axially on the crossbeam 101.

[0030] The device also includes inner limiting holes 407 and mating holes 408 at both ends of the tie rod 3. The axial direction of the inner limiting holes 407 and mating holes 408 is parallel to the axial direction of the crossbeam 101, so that the tie rod 3 can rotate along the swing direction of the hull 2 ​​when the bolt passes through the inner limiting holes 407.

[0031] The lower hanging ear 402 and the ear plate 5 are respectively machined with an outer limiting hole 404 corresponding to the inner limiting hole 407 and an elliptical hole 405 corresponding to the mating hole 408. In use, the inner limiting hole 407 is aligned with the outer limiting hole 404, and the mating hole 408 is aligned with the elliptical hole 405. Bolts are inserted for fixing. The function of the mating hole 408 and the elliptical hole 405 is to increase the structural strength of the connection between the diagonal tie rod 3 and the lower hanging ear 402 and the ear plate 5.

[0032] Several elliptical holes 405 can be provided along the axial direction of the tie rod 3. The specific number depends on the required structural strength. If the structural strength meets the requirements, the diameters of the outer limiting hole 404, inner limiting hole 407, elliptical hole 405 and mating hole 408 can be made slightly larger than the outer diameter of the bolt, further increasing the flexibility of the tie rod 3 during assembly.

[0033] The mating hole 408 is located on the side of the inner limiting hole 407 near the middle of the diagonal tie rod 3. The function of the mating hole 408 and the elliptical hole 405 is to select the appropriate size of the lower hanging ear 402 and ear plate 5 according to the structural strength requirements, process the corresponding number of mating holes 408, and then mate them with the elliptical hole 405 to increase the structural strength of the connection.

[0034] The major axis of the elliptical hole 405 is set along the swing direction of the tie rod 3. The minor axis radius and major axis radius of the elliptical hole are both larger than the diameter of the mating hole 408, so as to avoid the situation where the mating hole 408 is not aligned with the elliptical hole 405 during assembly.

[0035] Working principle: During assembly, first fix the hull 2 ​​in the installation position and fix the A-frame 1 in the predetermined position. Then, use bolts to insert one end of the diagonal tie rod 3 into the outer limit hole 404 and inner limit hole 407 of the lower hanging lug 402 or the ear plate 5, and hinge them together with bolts. After rotating the diagonal tie rod 3, use bolts to insert the other end into the outer limit hole 404 and inner limit hole 407 of the other end, and connect the diagonal tie rod to the lower hanging lug 402 and ear plate 5. Next, shake the lower hanging lug 402 to drive the diagonal tie rod 3 to make a slight positional change, so that the elliptical hole 405 is aligned with the mating hole 408 and bolts are inserted. Finally, tighten all the bolts.

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.
