Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wave-making component structures, specifically to a wave-making belt. Background Technology

[0002] The wave generators in water parks are designed to provide visitors with a simulated ocean wave experience. Vacuum wave generators use vacuum pumps to pump water to a certain height and then release it, creating waves. This method can produce larger surges, but because it takes time to re-pump and release the water, the wave frequency is relatively low. This wave generation method can simulate more spectacular waves, giving visitors a strong visual and sensory experience.

[0003] Wind-powered wave generators simulate ocean waves by periodically applying and releasing wind pressure through a system installed at the bottom of the wave pool. When wind pressure is applied, the water is pushed forward, forming waves; when the wind pressure is released, the water recedes, and the waves weaken. This method can continuously generate waves, providing surfers with a continuous surfing experience, but due to wind pressure limitations, the resulting surges are relatively small.

[0004] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wave-generating belt that uses multiple wave-pushing plates connected in sequence to float adjacent wave-pushing plates. Each wave-pushing plate can be driven independently by an external drive unit. After being placed in the water, it can push the water on both sides back and forth during the reciprocating swing process, thus solving the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to simultaneously meet the requirements of wave generation frequency and amplitude.

[0006] This utility model embodiment is achieved through the following technical solution: This utility model embodiment provides a wave-making belt, including multiple wave-pushing plates connected in sequence, with adjacent wave-pushing plates floatingly connected, and each wave-pushing plate can be driven individually by an external driving component; wherein, when the wave-making belt is placed in a body of water, the multiple wave-pushing plates can cause the water to form waves after being driven separately.

[0007] Optionally, a floating connector is provided between two adjacent wave pushers, with one side of the floating connector hinged to one of the wave pushers and the other side hinged to the other wave pusher.

[0008] Optionally, the floating connector includes multiple connecting plates that are hinged sequentially.

[0009] Optionally, the floating connector includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate, the first connecting plate being hinged to the second connecting plate, the first connecting plate being hinged to one of the wave-pushing plates, and the second connecting plate being hinged to the other wave-pushing plate.

[0010] Optionally, the width of the first connecting plate is less than half the width of a single wave-pushing plate, and the width of the second connecting plate is less than half the width of a single wave-pushing plate.

[0011] Optionally, the floating connector includes a flexible belt, with each side of the flexible belt being detachably connected to two adjacent wave-pushing plates.

[0012] Optionally, slots and / or plugs are provided on both sides of the flexible belt, and plugs and / or slots corresponding to the flexible belt are provided on a single wave pusher plate.

[0013] Optionally, a single wave-pushing plate is provided with multiple connecting holes, which are configured to allow water to circulate between the two sides of the single wave-pushing plate when it is stationary.

[0014] Optionally, each wave pusher is provided with at least one overflow hole to allow water to pass through when the wave pusher moves.

[0015] Optionally, each wave pusher plate is provided with at least one overflow hole and a connecting hole, with the overflow hole located above the connecting hole.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The wave generator provided in this embodiment operates based on the coordinated movement of individual wave pushers. When multiple wave pushers are driven separately, the local waves they generate in the water overlap, forming a continuous surge. While maintaining a high frequency of movement, the wave generator can also produce waves of significant amplitude, solving the problem in existing technologies where both wave frequency and amplitude requirements cannot be simultaneously met. Furthermore, by adjusting the swing frequency and amplitude of individual wave pushers, the wave generator can simulate more natural and varied waves, providing surfers with a more realistic and exciting surfing experience.

[0018] 2. The main function of the floating connector provided in this embodiment of the invention is to provide flexibility and adaptability, enabling the wave generator to simulate more natural and varied waves. Under the reaction of the water, the wave pusher plate will be subjected to forces in different directions. The floating connector allows these forces to be transmitted between the wave pusher plates while maintaining the stability of the structure. Furthermore, the specific design of the floating connector allows the wave pusher plate to respond independently to the dynamic changes of the water body without restricting wave formation due to a fixed connection. This structure allows the wave generator to work effectively under different wave conditions, whether small or large waves.

[0019] 3. This utility model embodiment provides two types of floating connector structures. One type is achieved by hinged connection of multiple connecting plates. This structure provides the ability to adjust the angle between the wave pushers, allowing the wave-generating belt to adapt to different wave shapes and sizes, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of wave generation. The other type is a flexible belt floating connector. The flexible belt provides a flexible connection between the wave pushers, allowing the wave pushers to make a certain degree of relative displacement in the water, which helps to reduce friction and wear between the wave pushers, while allowing the wave-generating belt to better adapt to the dynamic changes of the waves. This utility model embodiment is not limited to the above two structures.

[0020] 4. This utility model embodiment is provided with a connecting hole and an overflow hole. The connecting hole helps maintain the continuity and fluidity of the water body, reduces the water pressure difference on both sides of the wave pusher, thereby reducing the resistance of the wave pusher in the water body, so that the wave pusher can respond more flexibly to the driving force of the external driving component to generate waves; when the wave reaches a certain height, the overflow hole allows excess water to overflow, thereby controlling the maximum height of the wave and preventing the wave from being too high and causing potential danger to tourists or equipment.

[0021] In general, the wave-generating belt provided by the embodiments of this utility model is configured with multiple wave-pushing plates connected in sequence, with adjacent wave-pushing plates floatingly connected, and each wave-pushing plate can be driven independently by a driving component. After being placed in the water, it can push the water on both sides back and forth during the reciprocating swing process, so as to achieve the purpose of taking into account the requirements of wave generation frequency and amplitude and improving wave generation efficiency.

[0037] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used only for distinguishing descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0038] Example

[0039] Example 1: As Figure 1-3 The present invention provides a wave-generating belt, comprising multiple wave-pushing plates 1 connected in sequence, with adjacent wave-pushing plates 1 floatingly connected. Each wave-pushing plate 1 can be driven individually by an external drive unit 2. When the wave-generating belt is placed in water, the multiple wave-pushing plates 1, when driven individually, can generate waves in the water. Specifically, the wave-generating belt includes multiple wave-pushing plates 1 connected in sequence. The number of wave-pushing plates 1 is not limited here and can be set according to actual needs. Each wave-pushing plate 1 can be driven by an individual external drive unit 2, allowing them to independently oscillate back and forth in the water, pushing the water on both sides to generate waves. Compared to the single-sided wave generation method of traditional wave pools, the wave-generating belt has higher wave generation efficiency, and products of different heights and specifications can be designed according to wave height requirements to meet specific needs.

[0040] The two adjacent wave pushers 1 are connected by a floating connection, which allows the wave pushers 1 to move relative to each other in the water to adapt to different wave shapes and sizes, while maintaining the flexibility and stability of the structure. Each wave pusher 1 can be driven individually by an external drive unit 2, that is, each wave pusher 1 can be precisely controlled as needed to generate waves of different heights and shapes. The external drive unit 2 can be a motor, a hydraulic system or other form of power transmission device, which can be achieved using existing equipment or devices, and is not limited here.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, the operation of the entire wave generator is based on the coordinated action of each wave pusher 1. When multiple wave pushers 1 are driven separately, the local waves they generate in the water overlap, forming continuous surges. While maintaining a high frequency, it can also generate waves with a large amplitude, solving the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to simultaneously meet the requirements of wave generation frequency and amplitude. By adjusting the swing frequency and amplitude of the wave pushers 1, this wave generator can simulate more natural and varied waves, providing tourists with a more realistic and exciting surfing experience.

[0042] For example, the wave-pushing plate 1 is plate-shaped, with a connector 11 extending upward from its top for cooperating with the external drive component 2 to achieve reciprocating movement in a preset direction. Alternatively, a connection point can be provided on the plate surface for transmission cooperation with the external drive component 2, as long as it is ensured that it will not break due to reaction force during wave pushing.

[0043] The floating connector 3 of this embodiment includes a first connecting plate 4 and a second connecting plate 5. The first connecting plate 4 and the second connecting plate 5 are hinged to each other. The first connecting plate 4 is also hinged to one wave-pushing plate 1, and the second connecting plate 5 is also hinged to another wave-pushing plate 1. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the number of connecting plates is not limited here. There can be only one, or three, four, etc., which can be set according to actual needs. When there is only one connecting plate, one side of the connecting plate is hinged to one of the wave-pushing plates 1, and the other side is hinged to another wave-pushing plate 1. Returning to this embodiment of the present invention, the floating connector 3 includes a first connecting plate 4 and a second connecting plate 5. Preferably, the width of the first connecting plate 4 is less than half the width of a single wave-pushing plate 1, and the width of the second connecting plate 5 is less than half the width of a single wave-pushing plate 1. The first connecting plate 4 and the second connecting plate 5 of this size will not exert excessive constraint force on the wave-pushing plate 1, so that the wave-pushing plate 1 can rotate and swing relative to each other in the water without being restricted by the excessive width of the connecting plates. This embodiment of the utility model optimizes the structural layout of the entire wave-generating belt, so that when the connecting plate connects to the wave-pushing plate 1, it does not occupy too much space between the wave-pushing plates 1, thereby providing more space for the reciprocating motion of the wave-pushing plate 1.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting plate 4 and the second connecting plate 5 can be hinged together on a drive shaft, and then connected to the wave pusher plate 1 respectively. The drive shaft is connected to the external drive component 2 for transmission. By driving the drive shaft to move back and forth along a preset direction, the wave pusher plate 1 can also be driven to move back and forth to achieve wave generation.

[0045] When multiple wave-generating plates 1 move sequentially from end to end in one direction, they can propel the water. Floating connectors 3 also assist in this process. The entire wave-generating belt moves like a whip, pushing the water along its length to create a surge.

[0046] To better understand the operating principle of the wave-generating belt provided in this embodiment of the invention, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the wave-making action of a wave-making belt formed by multiple wave-pushing plates 1 connected in sequence by floating connectors 3. The diagram shows the wave-making action of the wave-making belt recorded every two seconds from the start of the wave-making process to the start of the wave-making process. For example, the first row shows the start of the wave-making process, the second row shows the wave-making action at the second second after the start of the wave-making process, the third row shows the wave-making action at the fourth second after the start of the wave-making process, the fourth row shows the wave-making action at the sixth second after the start of the wave-making process, and so on.

[0047] Example 2: As Figure 4As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that there are more than two connecting plates, and the width of each connecting plate is smaller than that of the first connecting plate 4 and the second connecting plate 5 in Embodiment 1. In this way, when the wave pusher plate 1 moves back and forth, the adjacent wave pusher plates 1 change direction more smoothly, and are less likely to pull on each other or be locked due to the straight line of the connecting plates, thus further improving the stability of the floating connection.

[0048] Returning to Embodiment 1 of this utility model, the first connecting plate 4 and the second connecting plate 5, and the connecting plate and the pusher plate 1, are hinged using a series of hinges. This series of hinges has multiple hinge points, resulting in good overall integrity and reducing the probability of deformation at the hinge points during operation. Even slight deformation will not easily affect continuous operation. Furthermore, since the pusher plate 1 is suspended during operation and when stopped, the connecting plate is also suspended by the pusher plate 1, and the weight of the connecting plate is applied to the series of hinges, which is more dispersed. Compared to cases using only four or five hinge points, this series of hinges structure makes the hinge points less prone to deformation, which is beneficial for long-term stable use. Of course, this structure also allows for the connection of adjacent connecting plates in Embodiment 2.

[0049] Example 3: As Figure 5 As shown, the floating connector 3 can be a flexible strip 6, and slots 8 or plugs 7 can be provided on both sides of the flexible strip 6, such as... Figure 6 As shown, for example, T-slots or T-heads are provided on the sides of the wave-pushing plate 1, allowing for vertical insertion. When the floating connector 3 or the main wave-pushing plate 1 needs to be replaced, adjacent wave-pushing plates 1 can be separated more quickly, facilitating maintenance and replacement. It should be noted that the T-slots or T-heads on the sides of the flexible belt 6 are rigid structural components that are not easily deformed. They are fixed together with the main body of the flexible belt 6, avoiding the construction of these structures on the flexible belt 6 itself. This ensures that the connection will not deform and detach during use due to tension.

[0050] Based on Examples 1-3, as a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, densely packed connecting holes 9 can be provided on the upper part of the wave-pushing board 1. This allows the water on both sides of the surf pool to circulate and maintain normal interactive flow when the wave-pushing board 1 is not in motion. When the wave-pushing board 1 is in operation, because the diameter of the connecting holes 9 is not large, the water flow will not pass through the connecting holes 9 quickly. At this time, the overall water pushing volume of the wave-pushing board 1 changes very little. This structure does not affect the wave-making effect while taking into account the flow of water on both sides of the surf pool.

[0051] More preferably, such as Figure 8As shown, an overflow hole 10 is provided in the upper part of the wave pusher 1. The overflow hole 10 can be shaped like an elongated circle or similar shapes; the specific shape is not limited here, as long as it can allow water to overflow into the surf pool on the other side when the wave surge reaches a preset height. When the wave surge pushed by the wave pusher 1 reaches the height of the overflow hole 10, the water can overflow into the surf pool on the other side of the wave pusher 1. In this way, there is no need to worry about the wave surge overturning the top of the wave pusher 1, and the height of the wave pusher 1 does not need to be set too high. Even if the wave surge is high, it can be solved by the overflow effect of the overflow hole 10. For some places with limited height space, this structure can be used to meet the needs of wave generation. The height of the wave pusher 1 does not need to be adjusted separately, and the highest wave can be generated as much as possible without the wave surge overturning the top of the wave pusher and impacting the structure above.

[0052] It should be noted that the overflow orifice 10 and the connecting orifice 9 can be selected or combined according to actual needs. The overflow orifice 10 can be positioned above the connecting orifice 9. In a static state, the connecting orifice 9 ensures the flow of water on both sides, while in a dynamic state, the overflow orifice 10 prevents excessive surges. It should also be noted that the overflow orifice 10 and connecting orifice 9 on each wave-generating plate 1 can be identical or configured differently. For example, some wave-generating plates 1 can have connecting orifices 9, some can have overflow orifices 10, some can have a combination of overflow orifices 10 and connecting orifices 9, and some can have no overflow or connecting orifices 10. This allows the wave-generating belt to both satisfy water flow and prevent excessive water flow from affecting the amount of water being propelled, thus ensuring the desired wave-generating effect.

[0053] In general, by using the wave-generating belt provided in this embodiment of the invention, waves can be generated on both sides of the water body. Furthermore, different structural types of wave-generating belts can be selected according to the site and water flow requirements to meet actual needs. Besides being applicable to wave pools in water parks and surfing, this wave-generating belt can also be used in scenarios requiring water movement, such as some simulated experimental devices, or situations where water movement is needed to increase the oxygen content of the water.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. 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. It should be noted that the structures or components illustrated in the accompanying drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, and descriptions of well-known components, processing techniques, and processes are omitted to avoid unnecessarily limiting the utility model.
