Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water park equipment, specifically a floating bridge for water parks. Background Technology

[0002] Water parks, as popular recreational facilities, offer a variety of water activities and rides. To ensure visitor safety and comfort and provide diverse experiences, water parks are typically equipped with various water facilities, among which floating bridges are an important component connecting different areas and facilitating visitor movement. However, traditional floating bridge designs have certain limitations in terms of safety, stability, and adaptability, making them difficult to meet the needs of modern water parks.

[0003] Traditional floating bridges have the following shortcomings: (1) Lack of structural flexibility. Traditional floating bridges mostly adopt a fixed structure and cannot automatically adjust the height according to changes in water level or tourist flow, which can easily lead to the surface of the floating bridge being too high or too low, affecting the user experience. (2) Poor stability. Existing floating bridge designs have not fully considered horizontal stability measures, which makes the floating bridge easy to sway under the action of water flow or external forces, increasing the risk of tourists falling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floating bridge for water parks to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a floating bridge for water parks, including a floating bridge body, a support mechanism, and an anchoring mechanism;

[0006] The support mechanism is used for installation at the bottom of the pool;

[0007] The floating bridge body is movably mounted on the support mechanism in the vertical direction;

[0008] The anchoring mechanism includes an anchoring end, a first connector, and at least one weighting component. The anchoring end is used to connect to the bottom of the pool. The first end of the first connector is connected to the anchoring end, and the second end of the first connector is connected to the floating bridge body. The weighting component is detachably connected to the connector to adjust the position of the floating bridge body on the support mechanism in the vertical direction.

[0009] Optionally, there are multiple floating bridge bodies, and each floating bridge body includes a pontoon, a second connector, and buckles and rings located on both sides of the pontoon respectively;

[0010] Multiple floating bridge bodies are arranged side by side, and the buckles and rings of each two adjacent floating bridge bodies are connected to each other;

[0011] One end of each of the second connectors is connected to the bottom of the corresponding pontoon, and the other end of each of the second connectors is used to connect to the second end of the first connector;

[0012] The first connector is constructed as an anchor chain, which includes multiple interconnected chain links;

[0013] The weighting component includes a weighting block and a third connector, wherein the weighting block is detachably connected to one of the chain links via the third connector.

[0014] Optionally, the third connector includes a bolt and a nut;

[0015] The weight has a first through hole and a second through hole that penetrate the weight. The first through hole and the second through hole are connected. The first through hole penetrates the weight along the axial direction of the weight, and the second through hole penetrates the weight along the radial direction of the weight, so that the second through hole and the first through hole are set at a perpendicular angle.

[0016] The first connector passes through the first through hole so that the weight block is fitted onto the first connector;

[0017] The bolt is used to pass through the second through hole and one of the chain links located in the first through hole to connect with the nut.

[0018] Optionally, there are multiple weighting components, and the multiple weighting components are spaced apart along the length direction of the first connector.

[0019] Optionally, the support mechanism includes two support rods;

[0020] The two support rods are located on both sides of the floating bridge body, and each support rod is vertically arranged;

[0021] The floating box is provided with slip rings on opposite sides, and the top of each support rod is inserted through and slidably connected to the corresponding slip ring, and the bottom of each support rod is used to connect to the bottom of the pool.

[0022] Optionally, the support rod includes a rod and a mounting base;

[0023] The bottom of the rod is connected to the top of the mounting base, and the bottom of the mounting base is used to connect to the bottom of the pool.

[0024] Optionally, the floating bridge for the water park also includes a protective pad;

[0025] The protective pads are used to be placed on top of the multiple floating bridge bodies.

[0026] Optionally, the outer walls of the floating bridge body, the support mechanism, and the anchoring mechanism are all coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0027] Through the aforementioned technical solution, the anchoring end and the first connecting member are configured. One end of the first connecting member can be connected to the anchoring end, and the other end can be connected to the floating bridge body. Thus, the first connecting member serves to connect and transmit force. Furthermore, through the added weighting components, staff can adjust the number of weighting components according to actual needs, thereby adjusting the overall height of the floating bridge, i.e., adjusting the draft of the floating bridge, and ensuring that the floating bridge maintains a suitable operating height. Additionally, the support mechanism, installed at the bottom of the pool, guides the vertical movement of the floating bridge body. That is, when tourists step on the floating bridge, it can float within a certain vertical range according to pressure changes (automatically sinking or rising). This not only helps maintain an appropriate distance between the floating bridge surface and the water surface but also prevents the floating bridge from shifting significantly horizontally or capsizing. This design improves the stability of the floating bridge and provides a certain degree of safety and comfort for tourists.

[0028] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0038] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are generally defined by the orientation of the drawing in the accompanying drawings, and "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the relevant components. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used only for descriptive distinction and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] In the description of this disclosure, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this disclosure provides a floating bridge for a water park, including a floating bridge body 10, a support mechanism 20, and an anchoring mechanism 30. The support mechanism 20 is used to install on the bottom of a pool 40. The floating bridge body 10 is movably installed on the support mechanism 20 in the vertical direction. The anchoring mechanism 30 includes an anchoring end 31, a first connecting member 32, and at least one weighting component 33. The anchoring end 31 is used to connect to the bottom of the pool 40. The first end of the first connecting member 32 is connected to the anchoring end 31, and the second end of the first connecting member 32 is connected to the floating bridge body 10. The weighting component 33 is detachably connected to the connecting member to adjust the position of the floating bridge body 10 on the support mechanism 20 in the vertical direction.

[0041] The pontoon bridge body 10 is used to carry tourists.

[0042] The anchoring end 31 can be fixed to the bottom of the pool 40 and used as the base point of the entire anchoring assembly.

[0043] Through the above technical solution, the anchoring end 31 and the first connecting member 32 are configured. One end of the first connecting member 32 can be connected to the anchoring end 31, and the other end of the first connecting member 32 can be connected to the floating bridge body 10. In this way, the first connecting member 32 can play the role of connection and force transmission. Furthermore, through the weighting components 33, staff can change the number of weighting components 33 according to actual needs, thereby adjusting the height of the entire floating bridge, i.e., adjusting the draft of the floating bridge, and ensuring that the floating bridge is maintained at a suitable operating height. In addition, through the support mechanism 20, which is installed at the bottom of the pool 40, it can guide the vertical movement of the floating bridge body 10. That is, when tourists step on the floating bridge, the floating bridge can float within a certain vertical range according to pressure changes (automatically sinking or rising). This not only helps maintain an appropriate distance between the surface of the floating bridge and the water surface, but also prevents the floating bridge from moving significantly horizontally or capsizing. This configuration improves the stability of the floating bridge and provides a certain degree of safety and comfort for tourists.

[0044] As one implementation method, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, there are multiple floating bridge bodies 10. Each floating bridge body 10 includes a pontoon box 11, a second connector 12, and buckles 13 and shackles 14 located on both sides of the pontoon box 11. The multiple floating bridge bodies 10 are arranged side by side. The buckles 13 and shackles 14 of each two adjacent floating bridge bodies 10 are connected to each other. One end of the multiple second connectors 12 is connected to the bottom of the corresponding pontoon box 11, and the other end of the multiple second connectors 12 is used to connect to the second end of the first connector 32. The first connector 32 is constructed as an anchor chain. The anchor chain includes multiple interconnected chain links 321. The weighting component 33 includes a weight block 331 and a third connector 332. The weight block 331 is detachably connected to one of the chain links 321 through the third connector 332.

[0045] Understandably, the anchor chain can have an arc-shaped structure within the water tank 40. This allows the weighting component 33 to be installed on the anchor chain, enabling adjustments to its position, specifically the height of the second end of the anchor chain within the water tank 40. When the height of the second end of the anchor chain changes, the draft of the corresponding float 11 can be adjusted via the second connector 12 at the bottom of the float 11.

[0046] Since each floating bridge body 10 can function as an independent unit, the snap fasteners 13 and snap rings 14 on adjacent floating bridge bodies 10 can be interlocked and connected, allowing them to be tightly connected together to form a continuous, integrated structure. This means that the length of the floating bridge can be flexibly changed by increasing or decreasing the number of floating bridge bodies 10, making it suitable for pools 40 of different sizes. Furthermore, the interplay between the snap fasteners 13 and snap rings 14 allows for a certain degree of relative movement between adjacent floating bridge bodies 10, enabling the floating bridge to adapt to stresses generated during water level changes or floating.

[0047] The third connector 332 allows the weight 331 to be detachably connected to one of the links 321 of the anchor chain. This configuration allows for adjustment of the number and position of the weights 331 according to actual conditions, thereby enabling precise control of the pontoon bridge's height and stability.

[0048] In addition, the anchor chains and weight-reinforcing components 33 help improve the stability and wave resistance of the floating bridge in the pool 40.

[0049] As one embodiment, the weighting component 33 is detachably connected to the first connector 32, such as Figure 5 As shown, the third connector 332 includes a bolt 3321 and a nut 3322. The weight block 331 has a first through hole 333 and a second through hole 334 that penetrate the weight block 331. The first through hole 333 and the second through hole 334 are connected. The first through hole 333 penetrates the weight block 331 along the axial direction of the weight block 331, and the second through hole 334 penetrates the weight block 331 along the radial direction of the weight block 331, so that the second through hole 334 and the first through hole 333 are set at a perpendicular angle. The first connector 32 passes through the first through hole 333 so that the weight block 331 is sleeved on the first connector 32. The bolt 3321 is used to pass through the second through hole 334 and one of the chain links 321 located in the first through hole 333 to connect with the nut 3322.

[0050] The installation process of the weighting component 33 can be as follows: First, the first through hole 333 of the weight block 331 can be fitted onto the anchor chain, allowing the weight block 331 to slide freely on the anchor chain. Second, the position of the chain link 321 to be fixed is determined. Then, the bolt 3321 can be passed through the second through hole 334 and the chain link 321. Finally, the nut 3322 can be screwed onto the bolt 3321, thus firmly fixing the weight block 331 to the selected chain link 321.

[0051] As one implementation method, such as Figure 2As shown, there are multiple weighting components 33, which are spaced apart along the length of the first connector 32.

[0052] By installing multiple weight-reinforcing components 33 at different locations on the anchor chain, a uniform distribution of weight can be achieved across the entire anchor chain. This helps to more precisely control the height of the pontoon bridge and maintain its stability.

[0053] As one embodiment of the floating bridge body 10, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the support mechanism 20 includes two support rods 21, which are located on both sides of the floating bridge body 10. Each support rod 21 is vertically arranged. Slip rings 22 are provided on opposite sides of the floating box 11. The top of each support rod 21 passes through and is slidably connected to the corresponding slip ring 22. The bottom of each support rod 21 is used to connect to the bottom of the pool 40.

[0054] When the water level changes or the pontoon bridge is trampled by tourists, the pontoon bridge body 10 can slide up and down on the support rod 21 via the slip ring 22, thereby maintaining an appropriate distance from the water surface.

[0055] The design of the slip ring 22 can limit the horizontal movement of the pontoon body 10, which helps to ensure the stability of the pontoon during use and can reduce swaying caused by water flow or external forces.

[0056] As one embodiment, the support rod 21 is installed at the bottom of the pool 40, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the support rod 21 includes a rod 211 and a mounting base 212. The bottom of the rod 211 is connected to the top of the mounting base 212, and the bottom of the mounting base 212 is used to connect to the bottom of the pool 40.

[0057] As one implementation method, such as Figure 1 As shown, the floating bridge for water parks also includes a protective pad 50, which is used to be placed on top of multiple floating bridge bodies 10.

[0058] The protective pads 50 serve two purposes: firstly, they absorb some of the impact, reducing the impact on the pontoon bridge body 10 when tourists walk or jump, thus lowering the risk of injury. Secondly, they cover the gaps between adjacent pontoon bridge bodies 10, preventing tourists from accidentally stepping into empty spaces.

[0059] To provide visitors with a more comfortable walking experience, the protective pad 50 may optionally be made of rubber, silicone, or PVC; this disclosure does not limit the material used.

[0060] Optionally, the surface of the protective pad 50 can be provided with an anti-slip texture, which can effectively prevent tourists from slipping and falling due to wetness.

[0061] To enhance the overall lifespan of the floating bridge, one implementation method is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer walls of the pontoon bridge body 10, the support mechanism 20, and the anchoring mechanism 30 are all coated with an anti-corrosion coating.

[0062] The anti-corrosion coating can effectively isolate moisture and oxygen, and can prevent the outer walls of the floating bridge body 10, support mechanism 20 and anchoring mechanism 30 from direct contact with moisture and oxygen, thereby preventing oxidation reactions (such as rust) from occurring.

[0063] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0064] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0065] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
