Abstract
Description
A type of amusement balance beam Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement equipment technology, specifically to an amusement balance beam. Background Technology
[0002] The balance beam is a common playground equipment for children, designed to promote children's physical coordination and core muscle development through balance training.
[0003] However, some balance beams have overly rigid structures with only fixed positions, which limits their challenge and entertainment value. Children may quickly lose interest due to the lack of variation, affecting their continued use and training effectiveness. On the other hand, while some adjustable-angle balance beams increase challenge and entertainment value, their overly flexible design also introduces safety risks. Children may accidentally push the beam to an unsafe angle, increasing the likelihood of falls and injuries.
[0004] For example, patent CN221831619U discloses a balance beam for children's training, which includes multiple balance beam bodies and multiple protective devices. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one end of the balance beam body, and a connecting groove matching the connecting block is opened at the end of the balance beam body away from the connecting block. A pivot is provided at the outer end of the connecting block. By using the pivot, multiple balance beam bodies can be rotated and connected together end to end, so that they can be combined into different shapes, such as "Z" or "S" shapes, which can provide more challenges and difficulties.
[0005] While this solves the problem of the balance beam's rigid positioning, it also significantly increases the risk of wobbling, compromising its safety. Therefore, the market currently needs a balance beam design that provides sufficient challenge and entertainment while ensuring children's safety. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a playground balance beam. The present invention can prevent the balance beam from rotating again after the angle is adjusted by the joint restraint of multiple locking posts, thus ensuring the safety of children during use.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a playground balance beam, including a support plate, a locking plate, and an adjustment component. Both ends of the locking plate and the support plate have rounded corners. Connecting grooves are provided at both ends of both the support plate and the locking plate. These connecting grooves are circular, and their diameter is equal to the diameter of the rounded corner. One side of the connecting groove faces upwards, and the other side faces downwards. The adjustment component includes multiple locking slots arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the connecting groove in the middle of the support plate. Multiple locking posts are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the connecting groove in the middle of the locking plate. The diameter of the circular array of locking posts is the same as the diameter of the circular array of locking slots, and the diameter of the locking posts is equal to the diameter of the locking slots. A balance component for play is provided at the top of both the support plate and the locking plate. The combined restraint of the multiple locking posts prevents further rotation after angle adjustment, thus preventing unstable swaying of the balance beam and ensuring the safety of children during use.
[0008] The adjustment assembly also includes a rotating column fixedly connected to the center of the connecting groove of the card plate, and a rotating groove is opened in the center of the connecting groove of the support plate; thus improving the stability of the connection.
[0009] The adjustment assembly also includes a limiting groove in the opening of the rotating groove and the locking groove, and a limiting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the locking column and the rotating column; that is, it can easily fix the balance beam after the angle is adjusted, and prevent accidental movement during use.
[0010] The balancing components include curved rubber plates, which are fixedly connected to the top of the support plates and the clamping plates; this provides a soft and grippy surface, increasing the stability and safety of children when using the balance beam.
[0011] The top of each curved rubber plate is fixedly connected with multiple arrayed anti-slip blocks, which enhances the grip of the balance beam surface and improves safety and stability.
[0012] Both the support plate and the clamp plate are equipped with support components at their bottoms. The support components include multiple pillars that are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate and the clamp plate; this increases the distance between the balance beam and the ground, thus increasing the difficulty of balance training.
[0013] The bottom of each support pillar is fixedly connected with pads; this increases the stability of the balance beam in contact with the ground and reduces swaying.
[0014] The bottom of each pad is fixedly connected with multiple anti-slip rings, which further increases the friction between the pad and the ground, ensuring the stability of the balance beam under various ground conditions.
[0015] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0016] 1. Since the locking posts and slots are arranged in a circular array, even if the positions of the locking plates and support plates are moved, the locking posts and slots can still adapt to different angles, thereby achieving angle adjustment of the balance beam. Through the joint restriction of multiple locking posts, the re-rotation after angle adjustment is avoided, preventing the balance beam from wobbling unstably and ensuring the safety of children during use.
[0017] 2. The curved top surface of the rubber board provides more effective balance training. This forces children to constantly adjust their center of gravity and balance while standing or walking, effectively improving their coordination. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to Figures 1-5. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0029] As shown in Figures 1-5: This embodiment provides a playground balance beam, including a support plate 100, a locking plate 101, and an adjustment assembly 200. Both ends of the locking plate 101 and the support plate 100 are rounded. Connecting grooves 102 are provided at both ends of the support plate 100 and the locking plate 101. The connecting grooves 102 are circular, and their diameter is equal to the diameter of the rounded corner. One side of the connecting groove 102 faces upwards, and the other side faces downwards. The adjustment assembly 200 includes a connecting... Multiple slots 201 arranged in a ring around the central axis of the connecting slot 102 are located in the middle of the connecting slot 102 of the card plate 101. Multiple pins 202 arranged in a ring around the central axis of the connecting slot 102 are located in the middle of the connecting slot 102 of the card plate 101. The ring array diameter of the pins 202 is the same as the ring array diameter of the slots 201. The diameter of the pins 202 is equal to the diameter of the slots 201. The top of the support plate 100 and the card plate 101 are both provided with a balance component 300 for amusement.
[0030] During installation, the downward-facing end of the connecting groove 102 of the clamping plate 101 is placed on top of the upward-facing end of the connecting groove 102 of the support plate 100. At this time, the centers of the two connecting grooves 102 are aligned, and the clamping posts 202 are all inserted into the slots 201, thus connecting the support plate 100 and the clamping plate 101. By combining multiple sets of support plates 100 and clamping plates 101, the length and range of the balance beam can be adjusted. The angle can be adjusted by rotating the clamping plate 101 or the clamping post 202. After adjustment, the clamping post 202 is inserted into the adjacent slot 201 again. Since the clamping posts 202 and the slots 201 are arranged in a circular array, even if the positions of the clamping plate 101 and the support plate 100 are moved, the clamping posts 202 and the slots 201 can still adapt to different angles, thereby achieving angle adjustment of the balance beam. Through the joint restriction of multiple clamping posts 202, the re-rotation after angle adjustment is avoided, preventing the balance beam from wobbling unstably and ensuring the safety of children during use.
[0031] Adjust component 200 as shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5.
[0032] The adjustment assembly 200 also includes a rotating column 203 fixedly connected to the center of the connecting groove 102 of the card plate 101. A rotating groove 204 is provided at the center of the connecting groove 102 of the support plate 100. The diameter of the rotating column 203 is equal to the diameter of the rotating groove 204.
[0033] When the card plate 101 is placed on the support plate 100, the rotating column 203 is inserted into the rotating groove 204 to form a fixed axis, which improves the stability of the balance beam.
[0034] Adjust component 200 as shown in Figure 5.
[0035] The adjustment assembly 200 also includes a limiting groove 205 formed in the openings of the rotating groove 204 and the slot 201. One end of the locking post 202 and the rotating post 203 are fixedly connected to a limiting plate 206. The limiting groove 205 and the limiting plate 206 are both circular in shape. The diameter of the limiting groove 205 and the diameter of the limiting plate 206 are both larger than the diameter of the slot 201.
[0036] When the clamping plate 101 and the support plate 100 are adjusted to the required position and angle, the limiting plate 206 of the clamping column 202 and the rotating column 203 are tightly engaged with the limiting groove 205 to form a locking state. The limiting plate 206 can be fully inserted into the limiting groove 205, thereby achieving a simple limiting function and improving the overall stability.
[0037] The balancing component 300 is shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 5.
[0038] The balancing assembly 300 includes an arc-shaped rubber plate 301. The top of the support plate 100 and the clamping plate 101 are all fixedly connected to the arc-shaped rubber plate 301, and the top of the arc-shaped rubber plate 301 is an arc surface.
[0039] The curved rubber board 301 provides a soft yet grippy surface, increasing stability and safety for children using the balance beam. The curved top surface of the 301 offers more stimulating balance training, requiring children to constantly adjust their center of gravity and balance while standing or walking, thus effectively improving their coordination.
[0040] The anti-slip block 302 is shown in Figures 1 and 2.
[0041] The top of the arc-shaped rubber plate 301 is fixedly connected with multiple arrayed anti-slip blocks 302. The anti-slip blocks 302 are all long strips, and the direction of the anti-slip blocks 302 is consistent with the direction of the arc-shaped rubber plate 301.
[0042] The anti-slip block 302 provides extra grip and stability for children using the balance beam. The elongated anti-slip block 302 follows the same direction as the curved rubber plate 301, allowing it to integrate better into the overall design without affecting a child's balance and comfort while using the balance beam.
[0043] Support component 400 is shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, and 4.
[0044] Both the support plate 100 and the card plate 101 are provided with a support component 400 at their bottom. The support component 400 includes a plurality of pillars 401 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 100 and the card plate 101. The width of the pillars 401 is smaller than the width of the support plate 100 and the card plate 101.
[0045] The support column 401 can support the support plate 100 and the clamping plate 101, giving them a certain height and increasing the difficulty for children to maintain their balance on the balance beam. As the height of the balance beam increases, children need more body control and coordination to maintain stability.
[0046] The pad 402 is shown in Figure 2.
[0047] Each support column 401 has a fixed connection to a pad 402 at its bottom. The bottom width of the pad 402 is greater than the width of the support plate 100 and the clamping plate 101. The top of the pad 402 is an arc-shaped surface.
[0048] The pad 402 increases the contact area between the device and the ground. The bottom width of the pad 402 is greater than the width of the support plate 100 and the clamping plate 101, ensuring more stable support of the balance beam on the support column 401 and reducing swaying caused by uneven contact between the support column 401 and the ground. The curved top surface of the pad 402 reduces the risk of injury to children who accidentally fall and collide with it.
[0049] The anti-slip ring 403 is shown in Figure 2.
[0050] The bottom of each pad 402 is fixedly connected with multiple anti-slip rings 403, all of which are made of rubber.
[0051] The anti-slip ring 403 increases the friction between the pad 402 and the ground, thereby further improving the stability of the balance beam on the ground. Even on wet or other surfaces, it effectively prevents the balance beam from slipping, ensuring children's safety.
[0052] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0053] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
