Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of safety protection technology, and in particular to a safety protection device. Background Technology
[0002] In the current amusement ride industry, ensuring the safety of riders is the primary and most crucial design consideration. To achieve this goal, traditional amusement rides generally use safety bars or seat belts as the main restraint methods. These devices physically restrain riders' bodies, effectively preventing them from accidentally falling due to inertia or other factors during ride operation, thus ensuring basic riding safety.
[0003] However, beyond ensuring tourists don't fall, how to further prevent them from involuntarily extending their bodies (especially arms) into potentially dangerous areas has become a pressing technical challenge. A common industry practice to address this is to install fixed barriers on both sides of the seats. While these barriers provide some visual warning and remind tourists to maintain a safe distance, their design is often limited to a small area, serving only as a supplementary safety measure. In reality, they cannot completely and effectively prevent tourists' arms or other body parts from entering potentially dangerous areas, thus offering limited safety protection.
[0004] Given the aforementioned situation, the industry urgently needs an innovative safety protection device. This device should not only strengthen existing restraint systems to ensure the stability of riders on amusement rides, but more importantly, it needs to effectively restrict the range of motion of riders, especially controlling easily extended parts such as arms. This would fundamentally eliminate the possibility of riders extending body parts into dangerous areas, thus comprehensively improving the safety performance of amusement rides. Therefore, developing a new type of safety protection device to address the shortcomings of existing technologies has become an important issue in the amusement ride industry. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a safety protection device.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides a safety protection device applied to a seat, including: a soft upholstery and a baffle. The seat includes a chair body and a pressure rod. The soft upholstery is connected to the chair body. The pressure rod is rotatably connected to the chair body via a rotating arm, and the rotating arm is located outside the soft upholstery. The soft upholstery has an open area corresponding to the position of the pressure rod for the movement of the pressure rod. The pressure rod is arranged laterally and passes through the open area to form a limiting protection. The baffle is connected to the chair body and is located outside the rotating arm.
[0008] In one specific embodiment, the soft body includes a head end, a torso end, and a leg end. The head end is horizontally positioned at the top of the chair body, the torso end is vertically positioned at the side of the chair body, and the leg end extends vertically toward the bottom of the chair body. The soft body is used to conform to the human sitting posture.
[0009] In one specific embodiment, the front side of the head end is provided with a concave area so that when the pressure rod moves to the head end position, a gap is formed between the head end and the pressure rod.
[0010] In one specific embodiment, the torso end is further provided with a sloping protrusion on the side away from the baffle.
[0011] In one specific embodiment, the open area is located at the torso end, and the torso end at the bottom of the open area is further provided with an arc-shaped concave portion.
[0012] In one specific embodiment, the lower surface of the head end is a horizontal plane.
[0013] In one specific embodiment, the chair body is further connected to a reinforcing plate, and the soft upholstery is connected to the reinforcing plate.
[0014] In one specific embodiment, the chair body is further connected to a frame, and the baffle is connected to the frame.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this safety protection device are as follows: The connection design between the soft padding and the chair body effectively wraps around and restricts the range of motion of the visitor, especially providing a physical barrier for easily extended parts such as the arms, reducing the risk of visitors entering dangerous areas due to loss of control during the ride. Furthermore, the pressure bar, a common restraint element in traditional amusement equipment, features an innovative open area around it with the soft padding, allowing the bar to pass laterally through this area. This design ensures the normal operation and movement of the pressure bar while cleverly utilizing its physical position to form an additional limiting and protective layer. When the pressure bar is locked, it, together with the soft padding and the baffle, constitutes a more comprehensive and effective restraint system for the visitor's body, further enhancing safety.

[0030] See Figures 1 to 5 The specific embodiment shown in this utility model discloses a safety protection device applied to a seat, including: a soft upholstery 10 and a baffle 20. The seat includes a chair body 30 and a pressure rod 40. The soft upholstery 10 is connected to the chair body 30. The pressure rod 40 is rotatably connected to the chair body 30 via a rotating arm 50, and the rotating arm 50 is located outside the soft upholstery 10. The soft upholstery 10 has an open area corresponding to the position of the pressure rod 40 for the movement of the pressure rod 40. The pressure rod 40 is arranged laterally and passes through the open area to form a limiting protection. The baffle 20 is connected to the chair body 30 and is located outside the rotating arm 50.
[0031] Specifically, the connection design between the soft padding 10 and the chair body 30 effectively wraps around and restricts the range of motion of the rider, especially providing a physical barrier for easily extended parts such as the arms, reducing the risk of riders entering dangerous areas due to loss of control during the ride. Furthermore, the pressure bar 40, a common restraint element in traditional amusement equipment, features an innovative open area around it created by the soft padding 10, allowing the pressure bar 40 to pass laterally through this area. This design ensures the normal operation and movement of the pressure bar 40 while cleverly utilizing its physical position to form an additional limiting and protective layer. When the pressure bar 40 is locked, it, together with the soft padding 10 and the baffle 10, constitutes a more comprehensive and effective restraint system for the rider's body, further enhancing safety. Furthermore, traditional baffles 20 often suffer from poor protective effects due to their limited area. This application addresses this by connecting the baffle 20 to the chair body 30 and intentionally placing it on the outside of the rotating arm 50. This arrangement not only expands the protective area but also ensures that the baffle 20 effectively prevents visitors' bodies (especially arms) from extending towards the danger zone. Even if visitors attempt to approach the edge in excitement or unintentionally, they can be promptly and effectively stopped, thus greatly reducing the probability of accidents. In addition, this safety device is ingeniously designed. The installation positions and methods of the soft padding 10 and the baffle 20 take into account the diversity and complexity of amusement equipment, ensuring that the device can be widely applied to different types of seated amusement equipment. Simultaneously, the open area design of the soft padding 10 also accommodates the different movement requirements of the pressure bar 40, giving the entire device good compatibility and flexibility while ensuring safety.
[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the soft body 10 includes a head end 11, a torso end 12, and a leg end 13. The head end 11 is horizontally disposed on the top of the chair body 30, the torso end 12 is vertically disposed on the side of the chair body 30, and the leg end 13 extends vertically toward the bottom of the chair body 30. The soft body 10 is used to conform to the human sitting posture.
[0033] Specifically, the all-around wrapping design of the soft enclosure 10, especially the head end 11 and torso end 12, effectively limits the range of body movement of passengers during the ride, reducing the safety risks caused by loss of body control. In addition, the leg end 13 is used to prevent the leg from extending out of the leg guard 20, preventing passengers from extending their legs out of the safe area.
[0034] The material of the soft body 10 is not limited. Different sizes of soft body 10 can be used according to the body size of the user sitting on the equipment. No further restrictions are imposed here.
[0035] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the front side of the head end 11 is provided with a concave area 111 so that when the pressure rod 40 moves to the position of the head end 11, a gap is formed between the head end 11 and the pressure rod 40.
[0036] Specifically, the depth of the concave area 111 is 5-15cm. When the safety lever 40 is raised, a gap is formed between the concave area 111 and the lever 40, preventing squeezing when the arm is raised and improving safety. In other words, the design of the concave area 111 significantly improves the safety of the amusement ride or seat by preventing direct contact between the lever 40 and the head end 11, reducing the risk of accidental injury to passengers during the ride, especially when the arm is raised or moved. In addition, the clever cooperation between the concave area 111 and the lever 40 allows passengers to experience a smoother and more natural movement experience when riding the amusement ride or seat, which not only improves passenger satisfaction but also helps to enhance the overall attractiveness of the amusement ride or seat.
[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the torso end 12 is further provided with a sloping protrusion 121 on the side away from the baffle 20.
[0038] Specifically, when a passenger raises their arm, the arm is compressed by the inclined protrusion 121, causing the arm to move only away from the baffle 20, increasing the distance between the arm and the baffle 20. In other words, when a passenger raises their arm, it comes into contact with and is compressed by the inclined protrusion 121. Due to the inclined design of the protrusion, this compression generates a force in the direction away from the baffle 20, thus guiding the arm to move in that direction. Guided by the inclined protrusion 121, the arm can only move along a specific trajectory, i.e., in the direction away from the baffle 20. This restriction helps ensure that the arm does not accidentally approach or contact the baffle 20 during the raising process, thereby avoiding potential injury or discomfort.
[0039] More specifically, the design of the sloping protrusion 121 guides the arm away from the barrier 20 when the passenger raises their arm. This helps ensure a sufficient distance between the arm and the barrier 20, reducing the risk of accidental contact and injury during the ride. Furthermore, the sloping protrusion 121 not only increases the distance between the arm and the barrier 20 but also enhances overall safety by guiding the arm in a specific direction. This design helps reduce potential arm injuries in emergency situations and increases passenger trust in the ride or seat. In addition to safety, the sloping protrusion 121 also considers passenger comfort, ensuring the arm is not unnecessarily restricted or squeezed during raising, thus improving the overall passenger experience.
[0040] In one embodiment, the open area is located at the torso end 12, and the torso end 12 is also provided with an arc-shaped concave portion 122 at the bottom of the open area.
[0041] Specifically, the arc-shaped concave portion 122 is designed to further avoid the pressure rod 40 and prevent it from bumping or hitting the pressure rod 40 during its movement.
[0042] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the lower surface of the head end 11 is a horizontal plane.
[0043] Specifically, by designing the lower surface of the headrest 11 as a horizontal plane and using a soft, wear-resistant material with good cushioning properties, the risk of the passenger's head hitting the headrest 11 during use is significantly reduced. This design makes the seat safer and more reliable, providing users with a better experience. In addition, the horizontal plane design not only helps prevent bumps but also improves passenger comfort to a certain extent. When the head contacts the horizontal plane, the force is evenly distributed, thus reducing discomfort caused by localized pressure.
[0044] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the chair body 30 is further connected to a reinforcing plate 60, and the soft upholstery 10 is connected to the reinforcing plate 60.
[0045] Specifically, the design of the reinforcing plate 60 effectively enhances the structural strength of the chair body 30, enabling it to withstand greater loads and impacts, thus improving the durability and safety of the seat. Furthermore, the firm connection between the reinforcing plate 60 and the chair body 30, along with the stable fixation of the upholstery 10, jointly enhances the overall stability of the seat, preventing wobbling or tilting during use.
[0046] See Figures 1 to 5As shown, in one embodiment, the chair body 30 is further connected to a frame 70, and the baffle 20 is connected to the frame 70.
[0047] Specifically, the design and effective connection of the frame 70 enhance the overall stability of the baffle 20, enabling it to withstand greater loads and impacts, and improving the durability and safety of the safety protection device.
[0048] This safety protection device can be used in indoor and outdoor theme parks, museums, exhibition halls, and any other places where amusement equipment can be installed.
[0049] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
