Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement facilities, specifically to a water-powered slide. Background Technology

[0002] With the upgrading of urban waterfront space development concepts, modern public recreational facilities need to simultaneously possess water-friendly entertainment functions and low-carbon operation and maintenance characteristics. However, most outdoor slides currently lack effective interaction with water, which not only reduces the fun of playing in the water but also limits the entertainment value and sustainability of waterfront spaces. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitations of existing outdoor slides, which generally lack interaction with water.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a hydraulically driven slide, including a slide, a flushing trough located at the beginning of the slide, a water-blocking plate located in the flushing trough, and a water injection component for injecting water into the flushing trough. The water-blocking plate is used to divide the flushing trough into a water storage section and a flow guiding section along the water flow direction, and to block water from flowing into the flow guiding section.

[0005] The baffle plate is designed to be movable relative to the flushing trough to connect the water storage section and the guide section, so that a directional water flow can be formed in the flushing trough to propel the user into the slide along the guide section.

[0006] Optionally, the baffle plate is pivotally connected to the bottom surface inside the flushing trough, and the first inner side of the water storage section perpendicular to the baffle plate is provided with a locking element for restricting the rotation of the baffle plate.

[0007] Optionally, the locking element includes a locking hook and a fastener connected to the waterproof plate, the locking hook being pivotally connected to the first inner side, and the hook end of the locking hook being engaged with the fastener.

[0008] Optionally, a spring is connected between the locking hook and the first inner side, the spring being used to increase the torque that limits the rotation of the locking hook.

[0009] Optionally, a floating triggering component is provided in the flushing tank, which is used to trigger the locking component to release the locking of the baffle plate.

[0010] Optionally, the floating triggering component includes a lever pivotally connected to the first inner side and a float disposed at the power arm end of the lever. The resistance arm end of the lever is connected to a locking member so that the buoyancy torque generated by the float drives the lever to rotate, thereby driving the locking member to perform an unlocking action.

[0011] Optionally, the water injection component includes a water pump, the outlet end (2011) of which is suspended above the water storage section in the vertical direction.

[0012] Optionally, a water storage tank is provided at the end of the slide to receive water flowing down the slide, and the inlet of the water pump is connected to the water storage tank through a water pumping pipe.

[0013] Optionally, the top of the water storage section is covered with a grating to prevent debris from entering the water storage section.

[0014] Through the above technical solution, the water-blocking plate in this utility model intercepts the water in the flushing tank and stores water in the water storage section. Then, by moving the water-blocking plate, the water storage section is connected to the guide section. The potential energy of the water in the water storage section is converted into the kinetic energy of the water flow, and a directional water flow is formed into the slide through the guide section, so as to propel the user into the slide along the guide section and slide down the slide, thereby enhancing the water-friendly interactive experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0022] refer to Figure 1The hydraulically driven slide of this utility model includes a slide track 1, a flushing trough 3 located at the starting end of the slide track 1, a water-blocking plate 4 located in the flushing trough 3, and a water-injecting component 2 for injecting water into the flushing trough 3. The water-blocking plate 4 is used to divide the flushing trough 3 into a water storage section 301 and a flow guiding section 302 along the water flow direction, and to prevent water from flowing into the flow guiding section 302.

[0023] The baffle plate 4 is configured to be movable relative to the flushing tank 3 to connect the water storage section 301 with the guide section 302, so that a directional water flow can be formed in the flushing tank 3 to push the user into the slide 1 along the guide section 302.

[0024] When the water injection component 2 continuously injects water into the flushing tank 3, the water baffle 4 can form an effective water-blocking barrier, causing the water level in the water storage section 301 to rise continuously, and the potential energy of the water to increase accordingly. It is worth noting that the gravitational potential energy of the water in the water storage section 301 relative to the guide section 302 due to the positional difference is positively correlated with the amount of water injected by the water injection component 2.

[0025] Understandably, when the movable baffle 4 connects the water storage section 301 and the guide section 302, the water stored in the water storage section 301 will flow into the guide section 302 after the baffle 4 is no longer obstructed. At this time, the potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy, causing a directional water flow with initial acceleration to be formed in the guide section 302, so that the directional water flow can have a certain flow velocity when it comes into contact with the user.

[0026] Advantageously, when the directional water flow with a certain velocity encounters the user in the guide section 302, it can generate a directional propulsive force pointing towards the slide 1, thereby pushing the user to the starting end of the slide 1 and allowing them to slide down the slide 1. During this process, the directional water flow also generates a lubricating effect, improving the propulsive efficiency of the directional water flow by reducing contact surface friction.

[0027] Therefore, in this invention, the water-blocking plate 4 intercepts the water in the flushing tank 3 and stores water in the water storage section 301. Subsequently, by moving the water-blocking plate 4, the water storage section 301 is connected to the guide section 302. The potential energy of the water in the water storage section 301 is converted into the kinetic energy of the water flow, and a directional water flow is formed into the slide 1 through the guide section 302, so as to propel the user into the slide 1 along the guide section 302 and slide down the slide 1, thereby enhancing the water-friendly interactive experience.

[0028] In this invention, the baffle plate 4 may not be completely sealed to the inner side of the flushing trough 3, meaning there may be a gap between the baffle plate 4 and the flushing trough 3. In this case, it is only necessary to ensure that the water injection speed of the water injection component 2 is greater than the speed at which water leaks out through the gap, and the leaked water can also lubricate the guide section 302 and the slide 1.

[0029] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4The baffle plate 4 can be pivotally connected to the bottom surface inside the flushing tank 3. The first inner side 3011 of the water storage section 301, which is perpendicular to the baffle plate 4, is provided with a locking member 5 for restricting the rotation of the baffle plate 4.

[0030] When the water level in the water storage section 301 reaches the threshold, the locking member 5 can release the locking of the baffle plate 4, so that the baffle plate 4 rotates towards the guide section 302 under the pressure of the water in the water storage section 301, thereby connecting the water storage section 301 and the guide section 302.

[0031] The baffle plate 4 can be connected to the flushing trough 3 via a hinge 10 to form a fixed axial connection. Of course, the baffle plate 4 and the flushing trough 3 can also adopt other rotating connection forms, such as setting a pivot on the bottom surface of the flushing trough 3, and the bottom of the baffle plate 4 is rotatably connected to the pivot.

[0032] In this invention, a water-separating plate 4 and a flushing trough 3 can also be configured to interlock, meaning that a slide rail 1 is provided on each of the two inner sides of the flushing trough 3 perpendicular to the bottom surface of the flushing trough 3 or at a certain angle to the bottom surface. The width of the inner groove of the slide rail 1 is equal to or slightly greater than the thickness of the water-separating plate 4, so that the water-separating plate 4 can be inserted into the two slide rails 1. This configuration allows the flushing trough 3 to be isolated or connected by manually inserting or removing the water-separating plate 4. It is worth noting that the slide rail 1 only serves to fix the water-separating plate 4. That is to say, the length of the slide rail 1 does not need to be specifically limited.

[0033] The slide 1 can be made of a slide rail or a groove opened on the inner wall of the flushing tank 3.

[0034] In this utility model, the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the flushing tank 3 can be set as the first direction.

[0035] In some embodiments, the locking member 5 may include a locking hook 501 and a fastener 502 connected to the water-blocking plate 4. The locking hook 501 is pivotally connected to the first inner side surface 3011, and the hook 5011 end of the locking hook 501 is fastened to the fastener 502 to apply a directional pulling force to the water-blocking plate 4 toward the water storage section 301, thereby restricting the water-blocking plate 4 from rotating toward the flow guide section 302.

[0036] The fastener 502 can be located on the surface of the baffle plate 4 facing the water storage section 301 and near the top of the baffle plate. The locking hook 501 is provided corresponding to the fastener 502, so that the end of the hook 5011 can contact the fastener 502. The aim is to reduce the directional pulling force that the locking hook 501 needs to apply to the baffle plate 4 by increasing the relative distance between the fastener 502 and the hinge 10, while keeping the torque applied by the locking hook 501 to the baffle plate 4 constant.

[0037] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3The fastener 502 may include a locking bar 5021, the end of which is bent to facilitate engagement with the hook 5011 end of the locking hook 501. Of course, in other embodiments, the fastener 502 may include other structures capable of engaging with the hook 5011 end of the locking hook 501, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] In this utility model, a first rotating shaft 505 is provided on the first inner side 3011, and the locking hook 501 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 505.

[0039] refer to Figure 3 In one embodiment, the locking hook 501 may include a bent hook 5011 and a straight rod 5012 connecting the bent hook 5011 and the first rotating shaft 505. The straight rod 5012 is provided with a rotating hole for connecting with the first rotating shaft 505. The first rotating shaft 505 is also provided with washers clamped on both surfaces of the rotating hole to prevent the rod from disengaging from the first rotating shaft 505.

[0040] In some embodiments, a spring 503 is connected between the locking hook 501 and the first inner side surface 3011, the spring 503 being used to increase the torque that limits the rotation of the locking hook 501.

[0041] In this utility model, reference Figure 2 A fixing rod 504 is provided on the first inner side 3011, extending perpendicular to the first inner side 3011 and toward the water storage section 301. The fixing rod 504 can be located next to the locking hook 501. The two ends of the spring 503 are connected between the locking hook 501 and the fixing rod 504.

[0042] Further, refer to Figure 3 The hook 5011 can be engaged with the bent end of the locking rod 5021 from below along the first direction. At this time, the fixing plate can be located on the straight rod 5012 of the hook 501, below one end of the hook 5011 along the first direction. The spring 503 is in a stretched state and is connected to the straight rod 5012 and the fixing rod 504 to increase the torque that restricts the rotation of the hook 501.

[0043] In some embodiments, a floating triggering member 6 is provided in the flushing tank 3. The floating triggering member 6 is used to trigger the locking member 5 to release the locking of the water-blocking plate 4, so that the water storage section 301 is connected to the flow guiding section 302.

[0044] In this invention, the floating trigger component 6 can have any suitable form, see reference. Figure 2As can be seen from the embodiments, the floating trigger component 6 may include a lever 601 pivotally connected to the first inner side 3011 and a float 602 disposed at the power arm end 6011 of the lever 601. The resistance arm end 6012 of the lever 601 is connected to the locking member 5 so that the lever 601 is driven to rotate by the buoyancy torque generated by the float 602, thereby driving the locking member 5 to perform the unlocking action, so as to realize that when the water level in the water storage section 301 reaches the threshold, the water baffle 4 is controlled to connect the water storage section 301 and the flow guiding section 302.

[0045] The lever 601 can be positioned above the locking hook 501 along the first direction, and the resistance arm end 6012 of the lever 601 is connected to the hook end 5011 of the locking hook 501.

[0046] Among them, a limit rod is provided at the power arm end 6011 of lever 601 along the lower part of the first direction. The limit rod is used to restrict the power arm end 6011 of lever 601 from rotating toward the bottom surface of water storage section 301.

[0047] In some embodiments, a second rotating shaft 603 extending in the same direction as the first rotating shaft 505 is provided on the first inner side surface 3011, and the lever 601 can be sleeved on the second rotating shaft 603.

[0048] In some embodiments, a drive rod 506 is provided at one end of the straight rod 5012 of the locking hook 501 near the bent hook 5011, and the drive rod 506 is in contact with the end of the resistance arm 6012 of the lever 601.

[0049] In this invention, when the water level in the water storage section 301 rises to the contact float 602, the water exerts an upward buoyancy force on the float 602. Under the action of buoyancy, the float 602 tends to move upward along the first direction, thereby applying an upward thrust to the power arm end 6011 of the lever 601. When the dynamic torque generated by this thrust (based on the second rotating shaft 603) exceeds the resistance torque received by the resistance arm end 6012, the lever 601 rotates around the second rotating shaft 603, thereby causing the locking hook 501 to rotate downward along the first direction to disengage from the fastener 502, thus releasing the locking state of the water-blocking plate 4.

[0050] The torque on the resistance arm end 6012 is generated by the engagement of the locking hook 501 and the fastener 502, as well as the tension of the spring 503 connecting the locking hook 501 and the first inner side 3011.

[0051] Among them, the locking rod 5021 can be configured as a column, and the inner curved surface of the hook 501 5011 end can be configured as an arc, so as to facilitate the release of the locking hook 501 from the locking rod 5021.

[0052] In this invention, the length of the power arm end 6011 of the lever 601 can be set to be greater than the length of the resistance arm end 6012, so as to reduce the pushing force that the float 602602 needs to apply to the lever 601.

[0053] In some embodiments, the water injection component 2 may include a water pump 201, the outlet of which is suspended above the water storage section 301 in the vertical direction to inject water into the water storage section 301.

[0054] Among them, the water pump 201 includes an electric water pump and a manual water pump.

[0055] Among them, electric water pumps have a more complex structure and require a power source and corresponding maintenance facilities. In other words, compared to electric water pumps, manual water pumps are more suitable for outdoor environments.

[0056] In some embodiments, a water storage tank 7 is provided at the end of the slide 1 for receiving water flowing down the slide 1, and the inlet end of the water pump 201 is connected to the water storage tank 7 through a water pumping pipe 202 to form a water circulation system.

[0057] It is worth noting that the water storage pool 7 stores far more water than the water storage section 301 can store at one time. At the same time, the water storage pool 7 can also be entered by users, that is, users slide down the slide 1 into the water storage pool 7, thus providing users with a water play area.

[0058] In some embodiments, the top of the water storage section 301 is covered with a grid 8 to prevent debris from entering the water storage section 301 and to ensure that components such as the locking member 5 and the floating trigger member 6 located in the water storage section 301 are not damaged by external debris.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A limit bar 9 is provided in the guide section 302. The limit bar 9 is used to prevent the user from being too deep in the guide section 302, which would cause the water baffle 4 to collide with the user as it rotates toward the guide section 302.

[0060] This utility model's water-driven slide primarily provides fun for parents and children to enjoy water activities in urban waterfront spaces.

[0061] In this invention, the child sits in the guide section 302 and is downstream of the partition. After the parent uses the water-blocking plate 4 to divide the flushing tank 3 into the water storage section 301 and the guide section 302, they operate a manual water pump to fill the water storage section 301, thereby increasing the interaction between the parent and child. When the water level in the water storage section 301 reaches a threshold, the floating trigger component 6 drives the locking component 5 to release the lock on the water-blocking plate 4, thereby pushing the child, who is downstream of the limit bar 9 in the guide section 302, to the starting end of the slide 1 and sliding down the slide 1 into the water storage tank 7. After completing one experience, the parent can reset the water-blocking plate 4 and drive the locking component 5 to lock the water-blocking plate 4, thus preparing for the next experience.

[0062] Advantageously, when the water level in the water storage section 301 reaches the threshold, the floating trigger component 6 drives the locking component 5 to suddenly unlock the water-blocking plate 4, which can create a sense of suddenness and tension for children located in the guide section 302, making it more fun for parent-child play. At the same time, the mechanical structural design of all components of the entire water-driven slide can save on operation and maintenance costs and facilitate outdoor maintenance.

[0063] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention. To avoid unnecessary repetition, the present invention will not describe the various possible combinations separately. However, these simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as the content disclosed in the present invention and all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
