Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of board connection technology for game equipment, specifically a board connection device for game equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As a classic amusement ride loved by the public, the stable connection and reasonable layout of the carousel floor play a decisive role in the safety of the ride and the comfort of the riders. In the traditional carousel floor connection design, the structure is often quite complex. For example, some connection methods require the use of a large number of bolts, nuts and other fasteners. During the installation process, the staff need to tighten each fastener in turn. This not only requires high installation accuracy, but also greatly increases the installation difficulty and time cost. Moreover, some protruding bolts and nuts may cause certain injuries to users, posing a great safety hazard.

[0003] Meanwhile, traditional connection structures are significantly inadequate in terms of connection stability. During operation, the carousel generates continuous centrifugal force and impact force due to mechanical vibration. Traditional connection methods are unable to effectively resist these forces, and the various floor panels are prone to loosening and widening gaps. With prolonged use, this loosening problem will become increasingly serious, not only causing unevenness on the floor surface and affecting the comfort of tourists, but also potentially causing the floor to shift during operation. This, in turn, affects the balance and stability of the entire carousel, increasing the risk of equipment malfunction or even safety accidents, and posing a potential threat to the personal safety of tourists.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, we propose a board connection device for gaming devices. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a board connection device for gaming devices, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a plate connection device for a game device, including a plate connection mechanism and a limiting mechanism.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This type of plate connection device for game equipment, by setting up fixed frames, support plates, and base plates, etc., multiple fixed frames are evenly welded to the outer ring of the mounting ring to form a stable frame foundation, so that the force can be evenly distributed and avoid excessive local stress that could lead to structural damage. The support plate is placed in the slot of the fixed frame to provide solid support for the base plate and effectively share the pressure borne by the base plate. Especially when the game equipment generates large impact forces during operation, it can prevent the base plate from deforming or sinking, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. Adjacent base plates are connected to the fixed frames through insert blocks, and the outermost base plate of the fixed frame is arc-shaped.

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 A panel connection device for gaming equipment includes a panel connection mechanism and a limiting mechanism. The panel connection structure includes an installation ring 1, a fixing frame 2, a base plate 3, and a support plate 6. This embodiment demonstrates the basic installation and connection process of the panel connection device for gaming equipment, taking a carousel as an example. First, multiple fixing frames 2 are evenly welded onto the outer ring of the installation ring 1. The welding is firm and the spacing between the fixing frames 2 is uniform, providing a stable frame foundation for the subsequent installation of the floor components.

[0025] Mounting slots are made on both sides of each mounting bracket 2, and insertion slots are made on the inner wall of the bottom of the mounting slots. Support plates 6 are placed one by one into the insertion slots on the mounting bracket 2. The support plates 6 are made of steel plates and their size is adapted to the insertion slots so that they can fit tightly, providing a solid support foundation for the floor and preventing the floor from deforming excessively when under stress, thus providing a safe support structure.

[0026] Next, the insertion blocks 8 welded to both sides of the base plate 3 are placed in the mounting slots on both sides of the fixing frame 2, thus realizing the installation of the base plate 3. That is, the base plate 3 is installed on the fixing frame 2 through the insertion blocks 8 welded to both sides of the base plate 3. The base plate 3 is made of wood commonly used in making wooden floors, such as oak, which has good aesthetics and a certain degree of toughness. The base plate 3 is initially connected to the fixing frame 2 through the insertion blocks 8, and the top surface of the base plate 3 and the top surface of the fixing frame 2 are on the same horizontal line to ensure the flatness of the carousel floor surface, making it convenient for tourists to walk on, and avoiding the potential danger of bolts or nuts protruding from the ground due to traditional installation methods.

[0027] For the outermost base plate 3 located on the fixed frame 2, its outer ring is machined into an arc shape. Multiple such base plates 3 are arranged to form a complete circle, matching the circular structure of the carousel. A limiting groove is opened on the outer ring of each outermost base plate 3, and an arc-shaped limiting plate 4 is selected. The limiting plate 4 is made of steel, and its curvature matches the limiting groove on the outer ring of the base plate 3. The limiting plate 4 is inserted into the limiting groove. At this time, the mounting hole in the center of the limiting plate 4 is aligned with the threaded hole opened in the center of the fixed frame 2 on the side away from the mounting ring 1. Then, the mounting bolt 5 is passed through the mounting hole of the limiting plate 4 and screwed into the threaded hole to complete the installation of the limiting mechanism, which effectively prevents the base plate 3 from shifting during the operation of the carousel. The limiting plate 4 can also be designed as a whole to limit the outermost base plate 3.

[0028] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-5 An insert plate 9 is welded to one side of the base plate 3, and an insertion groove 7 matching the insert plate 9 is made on the side away from the insert plate 9. When installing the base plate 3, two adjacent base plates 3 are spliced ​​together by inserting the insert plate 9 and the insertion groove 7. The insert plate 9 of one base plate 3 is inserted into the insertion groove 7 of another base plate 3. This splicing method is simple and reliable, which can effectively increase the connection area between the base plates 3, reduce the gaps at the splicing points, and improve the overall strength of the floor.

[0029] After the base plate 3 is assembled, the support plate 6 and the limiting mechanism are installed according to the method in Example 1. After the support plate 6 is placed in the slot, it provides further support for the base plate 3, shares the pressure on the base plate 3, and prevents the base plate 3 from being damaged due to long-term stress. After the limiting plate 4 is fixed to the fixing frame 2 by the mounting bolts 5, it not only restricts the radial displacement of the base plate 3, but also provides a certain constraint on the splicing of the base plate 3, preventing the splicing from loosening due to the vibration of the carousel, and ensuring that the entire floor structure remains stable during the operation of the carousel.

[0030] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 1-5 During the manufacturing process, different materials can be selected for the support plate 6, base plate 3, mounting ring 1, fixing frame 2, and limiting plate 4, depending on the actual needs. For example, if there are higher requirements for the load-bearing capacity of the floor, the support plate 6 can be made of high-strength alloy steel plate, which has higher hardness and tensile strength and can withstand greater pressure. If the natural texture and environmental protection performance of the floor are desired, the base plate 3 can be made of solid wood, such as mahogany, which has beautiful texture and warm feel, and can add a unique artistic atmosphere to the carousel.

[0031] The mounting ring 1, fixing bracket 2, and limiting plate 4 can also be made of materials according to the actual use scenario and cost requirements. In some cases where the strength requirement is high and the budget is sufficient, stainless steel can be used, which has good corrosion resistance and high strength and can adapt to various harsh environmental conditions. If cost is more sensitive and the use environment is relatively mild, ordinary carbon steel can also be used, and its corrosion resistance can be improved by appropriate surface treatment such as painting or galvanizing.

[0032] During installation, the plate connection mechanism and the limiting mechanism are installed according to the method of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. Due to the universality of the structural design of the device, components of different materials can be adapted to each other to ensure the normal operation of the entire connection device. This feature of multi-material combination and personalized adaptation makes the plate connection device widely applicable to different types and sizes of game equipment to meet diverse market demands.

[0033] Implementation Results: Multiple fixing frames 2 are evenly welded to the outer ring of the mounting ring 1, forming a stable frame foundation. This allows for even distribution of force, preventing excessive local stress that could damage the structure. The support plate 6 is placed in the slot of the fixing frame 2, providing solid support for the base plate 3 and effectively sharing the pressure borne by the base plate 3. Especially when the game equipment generates a large impact during operation, it can prevent the base plate 3 from deforming or sinking, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. Adjacent base plates 3 are connected to the fixing frame 2 through insert blocks 8, and the outermost base plate 3 of the fixing frame 2 has an arc shape. Multiple base plates form a circle, which perfectly matches the circular structure of game equipment such as a carousel, reducing stress concentration and further improving the overall stability of the structure. It can bear the weight of more tourists and equipment components, meeting the requirements of high-intensity use.

[0034] An insertion plate 9 is welded to one side of the base plate 3, and a matching insertion slot 7 is opened on the other side. When splicing adjacent base plates 3, simply insert the insertion plate 9 into the insertion slot 7. The installation process is simple and quick, requiring no complicated tools or professional skills, which greatly shortens the equipment installation time and reduces installation costs. The arc-shaped limiting plate 4 in the limiting mechanism matches the limiting slot of the outermost base plate 3 of the fixing frame 2. By passing the mounting bolt 5 through the mounting hole in the center of the limiting plate 4 and screwing it into the threaded hole of the fixing frame 2, the installation of the limiting mechanism can be completed quickly, effectively preventing the base plate 3 from shifting during equipment operation and ensuring that the floor structure always remains intact. At the same time, the top surface of the base plate 3 and the top surface of the fixing frame 2 are on the same horizontal line, ensuring the flatness of the game equipment floor surface, providing a comfortable walking experience for tourists, and avoiding safety hazards such as falls caused by uneven ground.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
