Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement equipment, specifically a spherical support device for rotating amusement equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Rotating amusement rides are a type of mechanical amusement facility that uses rotational motion as its core feature to provide an entertainment experience for visitors. They typically have one or more rotatable supporting structures, such as turntables, rotating arms, or rotating cylinders, which are driven by power devices such as motors, hydraulic systems, or pneumatic systems to rotate around a central axis or a specific trajectory. Riders experience speed, centrifugal force, and possible combined movements such as tilting and swaying during the rotation, thus obtaining a stimulating, novel, and enjoyable experience. They are commonly found in theme parks, amusement parks, carnivals, and other entertainment venues.
[0003] Currently, rotating amusement rides hold a significant position in the amusement industry, bringing thrills and joy to visitors with their unique rotating motion. However, closer inspection reveals certain limitations in the structural design of existing rotating amusement rides, particularly in their base support structure. Most rotating amusement rides currently use a sphere as their base support. While this design ensures stability to some extent, it still has considerable room for improvement in terms of load-bearing capacity, space utilization efficiency, and adaptability to different terrain conditions. Researchers urgently need to explore more optimized base support structures to enhance the performance and safety of these rides. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a ball support device for a rotating amusement equipment, comprising a fixed base, a rotating ball shaft, and a support panel, wherein the rotating ball shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base, and the support panel is fixed to the top of the rotating ball shaft.
[0006] Preferably, the fixed base includes a base body, a fixed plate, a first mounting hole, and a rotating plate. The fixed plate is fixedly connected to the top of the base body. The first mounting hole has four sets and extends through the surface of the base body. The rotating plate is threadedly connected to the top of the base body.
[0007] Preferably, the rotating ball shaft includes an arc-shaped fixed shell, a limiting shell, a rotating ball, and a connecting shaft. The limiting shell is rotatably connected inside the arc-shaped fixed shell, the rotating ball is rotatably connected inside the limiting shell, and one end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the rotating ball.
[0008] Preferably, the support panel includes a panel body and a second mounting hole, wherein the second mounting hole has four sets and extends through the surface of the panel body.
[0009] Preferably, the other end of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the front end of the panel body.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] This utility model proposes a spherical support device for a rotating amusement ride, comprising a fixed base, a rotating spherical shaft, and a support panel. The rotating spherical shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed base, and the support panel is fixed to the top of the rotating spherical shaft. This device, with the rotating spherical shaft as its core, leverages its flexible rotational characteristics to drive the support panel to rotate freely at multiple angles. The rotating spherical shaft is connected to the support panel through a precise mechanical structure, allowing it to rotate smoothly in all directions under power or external force. The rotation of the support panel, in turn, causes the amusement ride fixed to its top to rotate freely, providing a unique experience for visitors.
