Description

A track slide device with a permanent magnet eddy current braking mechanism Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of amusement equipment technology, and more particularly to a track slide device with a permanent magnet eddy current braking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Track slides, a type of non-powered amusement ride, rely on the weight of the riders to generate movement. They mainly consist of two parts: a track and a trolley. The trolley is the rider's vehicle. If the speed is still too high after the trolley carries passengers along the track to the end of the lower section, a deceleration and braking system is needed to ensure the trolley's speed is controlled below 1 m / s when entering the station.

[0003] Currently, there are two common braking methods: The first is rubber pad friction braking, which uses a mechanical structure to press a rubber pad onto a friction plate attached to the trolley, utilizing the friction between the rubber pad and the track tube to achieve braking. However, after prolonged use, the rubber pad will experience severe wear due to friction, leading to a decrease in braking performance and requiring frequent replacement, increasing maintenance costs and downtime. Secondly, the performance of rubber materials is greatly affected by ambient temperature. In high-temperature environments, rubber softens, reducing friction and weakening the braking effect; in low-temperature environments, rubber hardens and becomes brittle, easily breaking and failing to provide reliable braking. The second method is spring-loaded braking. Spring-loaded braking has a simpler structure, requires no additional energy supply, and can maintain braking in emergencies such as power outages, offering high safety. However, springs will fatigue after prolonged use, leading to a decrease in braking force, requiring regular inspection and replacement.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a track slide device with a permanent magnet eddy current braking mechanism to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a track slide device with a permanent magnet eddy current braking mechanism that has low wear and a long service life.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a track slide device with a permanent magnet eddy current braking mechanism, comprising:

[0007] The track includes a track body, aluminum brake plates disposed on both sides of the track body, and a connecting assembly connecting the track body and the brake plates;

[0008] A trolley includes a trolley body and trolley braking assemblies disposed on both sides of the trolley body. The trolley braking assembly includes mounting seats disposed opposite each other. The mounting seats are recessed inward from the opposite side to form a mounting groove. A magnet is fixed in the mounting groove. A gap is formed between the pair of magnets, and the gap is greater than the thickness of the brake plate.

[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the mounting base are recessed inward from the surface to form inclined surfaces, and the inclined surfaces of the mounting base are arranged opposite to each other to form a dovetail shape.

[0010] Furthermore, the magnet is a rubidium magnet.

[0011] Furthermore, the trolley includes a base connecting the trolley body and the trolley braking assembly, the base being mounted on the bottom of the pair of mounting seats.

[0012] Furthermore, the base includes a base plate and side plates. The mounting bases are respectively installed on both sides of the upper surface of the base plate. The bottom of the side plate is fixedly connected to the side of the base plate, and its top extends vertically upward for fixed connection with the trolley body.

[0013] Furthermore, the track body includes a guide tube section and a guide plate section. The guide tube section is in the form of a pipe, and one side of the guide plate section is fixedly connected to the guide tube section, while the other side extends outward to form a guide plate section.

[0014] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a support, which is a C-shaped plate, with one end fixed to the side of the guide plate and the other end fixed to the outer surface of the brake plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a connecting plate for connecting adjacent supports.

[0016] Furthermore, the track body is divided into three sections according to its shape: the track extending from high to low is the sliding section, the track extending horizontally is the braking section, and the track extending from low to high is the lifting section. The end of the sliding section is connected to the braking section, the end of the braking section is connected to the lifting section, and the end of the lifting section is connected to the sliding section. The sliding section, the braking section, and the lifting section form a closed loop track.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model is a track slide device with a permanent magnet eddy current braking mechanism, which has the characteristics of low wear and long service life. Based on electromagnetic induction and Lenz's law, it achieves braking by generating eddy currents through the relative motion of the magnet and the aluminum brake plate, converting kinetic energy into heat energy. Compared with traditional solutions such as rubber friction braking and spring pressure braking, its non-contact characteristics eliminate mechanical wear and significantly extend the service life of the equipment.

[0035] In use, the track slide device of this utility model with a permanent magnet eddy current braking mechanism allows passengers to ride on the trolley 3 from the starting platform 1 along the track 2. The trolley 3 first passes through the sliding section 213 and reaches the braking section 214. When it reaches the braking section 214, the brake plate 22 enters between a pair of magnets 322 that are oppositely arranged on the mounting base 321. The single set of magnets 322 is arranged with the S / N poles facing each other. The eddy current braking generated in the conductor of the permanent magnet brake plate 22 is based on electromagnetic induction and Lenz's law. The permanent magnet generates a constant magnetic field. When the conductor moves relative to it, it cuts the magnetic field lines and forms eddy currents inside. The eddy current magnetic field interacts with the permanent magnet magnetic field to generate a braking force opposite to the direction of motion, converting kinetic energy into heat energy to achieve braking. The trolley 3 stops moving, and the passengers enter the arrival platform 4. Then, other equipment pulls the trolley 3 through the lifting section 215 to the sliding section 213.

[0036] This utility model is a track slide device with a permanent magnet eddy current braking mechanism, which features low wear and long service life. Based on electromagnetic induction and Lenz's law, it achieves braking by generating eddy currents through the relative motion of a magnet and an aluminum brake plate, converting kinetic energy into heat energy. Compared with traditional solutions such as rubber friction braking and spring pressure braking, its non-contact characteristics eliminate mechanical wear and significantly extend the service life of the equipment.
