Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement park rescue equipment, and in particular to a single-rope braking rescue device. Background Technology
[0002] Amusement park rescue equipment is a crucial facility for ensuring visitor safety, playing a vital role in emergencies. For zipline rides, specialized zipline rescue devices are typically provided. These devices usually include a rescue seat, safety belt, and steel cable. During a rescue, rescuers ride in the rescue seat, grab the steel cable, and slowly glide towards the trapped visitor. Upon reaching the target location, the rescuers connect the safety belt on the rescue device to the trapped ride seat, secure it, and after confirming safety, cut the safety belt originally connected to the pulley. Using the gripping force of the rope, they slowly bring the visitor back to the finish line.
[0003] In the existing technology, due to various reasons, it cannot be guaranteed that the trolley will arrive smoothly every time. Often, passengers will be stuck in the air and unable to reach the destination, anxiously calling for help. In such cases, rescue devices need to be used. Currently, when the fault is close to the station, the rescue method is usually to manually swing the cable and then pull the cable. However, due to environmental conditions, when the distance is far, it is often necessary to send people to rescue the seats along the steel wire rope, which is tiring and the effect is not satisfactory.
[0004] Therefore, a single-rope braking rescue device is needed to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a single-rope braking rescue device, which has the advantage of facilitating the rescue and pullback of amusement park trolleys in the event of an accident.
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a single-rope braking rescue device, including two end plates, and two fixed plates fixedly connected between the two end plates. Multiple pulley fixing holes are provided on the surface of each of the two fixed plates, and two pulleys that slide on the surface of a steel wire rope are fixedly connected within these holes. Multiple swing plates are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the two fixed plates, and multiple swing shaft movable holes are provided on the surfaces of the two fixed plates to facilitate the sliding of the other end of the swing plates. Multiple swing shafts are slidably connected through these movable holes, and the two ends of the swing shafts are rotatably connected to the other end of the swing plates. A friction block assembly for friction braking between the pulleys and the steel wire rope is installed between the two fixed plates, and a brake pull plate for braking the friction block assembly is installed at one end of the friction block assembly.
[0007] Furthermore, multiple spring fixing holes are provided on the surfaces of both fixing plates, and multiple springs are hung in the spring fixing holes. The other ends of the multiple springs are all hung on both ends of the swing shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, an octagonal protective cover, consisting of upper and lower parts, is fixedly connected between the two end plates to protect the device, facilitating installation.
[0009] Furthermore, one end of the end plate is fixedly connected with hooks for attaching trolleys.
[0010] Furthermore, a rubber buffer block for collision buffering is fixedly connected to one end of the end plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a rescue pull plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the end plate to facilitate rescue, and a rescue rope is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rescue pull plate to facilitate pulling the device.
[0012] Furthermore, the friction block assembly includes a rubber plate in contact with the surface of the wire rope and a steel plate fixedly connected below the rubber plate. Fixed sleeves are fixedly connected to both ends of the lower part of the steel plate, and the swing shaft is movably connected through the fixed sleeves. One end of the lower part of the steel plate is fixedly connected to one end of the brake pull plate.
[0013] Furthermore, a positioning hole is provided on the surface of the brake pull plate, and a fixing pin is slidably connected in the positioning hole to fix the brake pull plate.
[0014] The working principle and application principle of this utility model are as follows: The device is placed on a steel wire rope, which passes through the end plate and reaches below the two pulleys and above the rubber plate. The tension of the spring pulls the swing shaft upward along the swing shaft's movable hole. At the same time, the swing shaft drives the swing plate to swing, causing the rubber plate to squeeze the steel wire rope, forming a braking friction force. When the trolley slides towards the device, the braking friction force of the device slows down the trolley until it stops. The rubber buffer block plays a buffering role, and the hook catches the trolley to prevent it from detaching from the device and rebounding. After braking is completed, the brake plate is pulled down, and the rubber... When the rubber plate detaches from the steel wire rope, the braking device resets. In case of rescue, pull down the brake plate; the rubber plate detaches from the steel wire rope, and a fixing pin is inserted through the positioning hole on the brake plate surface to prevent the rubber plate from contacting the steel wire rope upwards. Swing the rescue device forward; when it approaches the trolley, the front hook catches the trolley. Then, the rescuer pulls the rescue rope fixed to one end of the rescue plate, pulling the rescue device and trolley back to the platform together, completing the rescue. Then, remove the fixing pin to restore the braking function, facilitating rescue and pullback of the amusement park trolley in case of an accident.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When a rescue is needed, pull down the brake plate, the friction block assembly disengages downward from the wire rope, and the positioning hole on the surface of the brake plate is fitted with a fixing pin, which prevents the friction block assembly from contacting the wire rope upward. Swing the rescue device forward, and when it approaches the trolley, the front hook hooks the trolley. Then, the rescuer pulls the rescue rope fixedly connected to one end of the rescue plate, and the rescue device and the trolley are pulled back to the platform together, completing the rescue. Then, remove the fixing pin to restore the braking function, which facilitates the rescue and pullback of the amusement park trolley in case of an accident.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the advantage of facilitating the rescue and retrieval of amusement park roller coasters in the event of an accident.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the advantages of convenient single-rope braking, easy operation, and improved rescue efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0028] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the embodiments of this application easier to understand, the embodiments of this application are further described below in conjunction with the figures and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application.
[0029] A single-rope braking rescue device according to this specific embodiment, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, a single-rope braking rescue device includes two end plates 2, with two fixed plates 4 fixedly connected between them. Each fixed plate 4 has multiple pulley fixing holes 6 on its surface, and two pulleys 5 that slide on the surface of a wire rope are fixedly connected within these holes 6. Multiple swing plates 8 are rotatably connected to the surfaces of the two fixed plates 4, and multiple swing shaft movable holes 7 are provided on the surfaces of the two fixed plates 4 to facilitate the sliding of the other end of each swing plate 8. Multiple swing shafts 9 are slidably connected through these movable holes 7, with both ends of each swing shaft 9 rotatably connected to the other end of each swing plate 8. A friction block assembly for braking the wire rope by friction between the pulleys 5 and the friction block assembly is installed between the two fixed plates 4. A brake pull plate 1 for braking the friction block assembly is installed at one end of the friction block assembly. 2. Multiple spring fixing holes 11 are provided on the surface of both fixed plates 4, and multiple springs 10 are hung in the spring fixing holes 11. The other ends of the multiple springs 10 are hung on both ends of the swing shaft 9. An octagonal protective cover 3 is fixedly connected between the two end plates 2 to protect the device. It is divided into upper and lower parts for easy installation. A hook 13 for hanging the pulley is fixedly connected to one end of the end plate 2. A rubber buffer block 14 for collision buffering is fixedly connected to one end of the end plate 2. A rescue pull plate 15 for easy rescue is fixedly connected to the other end of the end plate 2. A rescue rope 16 for easy pulling of the device is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rescue pull plate 15. A positioning hole 17 is provided on the surface of the brake pull plate 12, and a positioning pin for fixing the brake pull plate 12 is slidably connected in the positioning hole 17.
[0030] Using the above technical solution, the device is placed on a steel wire rope, which passes through the end plate 2 and reaches below the two pulleys 5 and above the friction block assembly. The tension of the spring 10 pulls the swing shaft 9 upward along the swing shaft movable hole 7. At the same time, the swing shaft 9 drives the swing plate 8 to swing, causing the friction block assembly to squeeze the steel wire rope, forming braking friction. When the trolley slides towards the device, the braking friction of the device causes the trolley to decelerate until it stops. The rubber buffer block 14 plays a buffering role, and the hook 13 hooks the trolley to prevent it from detaching from the device and rebounding. After braking is completed, the brake pull plate 12 is pulled down, and the friction block assembly disengages downward. When the steel wire rope is disconnected, the braking device resets. In case of rescue, pull down the brake plate 12. The friction block assembly disengages from the steel wire rope. The positioning hole 17 on the surface of the brake plate 12 is fitted with the fixing pin 18, which prevents the friction block assembly from contacting the steel wire rope upwards. Swing the rescue device forward. When it approaches the trolley, the front hook 13 hooks onto the trolley. Then, the rescuer pulls the rescue rope 16, which is fixedly connected to one end of the rescue plate 15. The rescue device and the trolley are pulled back to the platform together, completing the rescue. Then, remove the fixing pin 18 to restore the braking function. This facilitates the rescue and pullback of the amusement park trolley in case of an accident.
[0031] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 5, 6, 7, and 9, the friction block assembly includes a rubber plate 20 that contacts the surface of the wire rope and a steel plate 21 that is fixedly connected below the rubber plate 20. Fixed sleeves 19 are fixedly connected to both ends of the lower part of the steel plate 21, and the swing shaft 9 is movably connected through the fixed sleeves 19. One end of the brake pull plate 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the lower part of the steel plate 21.
[0032] Through the above technical solution, the wire rope comes into contact with the surface of the rubber plate 20, which facilitates friction on the wire rope. When the swing shaft 9 moves, it drives the fixed sleeve 19 and the steel plate 21, and the rubber plate 20 on the surface of the steel plate 21 comes into contact with the wire rope, forming a braking friction force. When the brake pull plate 12 is pulled down, the brake pull plate 12 drives the steel plate 21 and the rubber plate 20 to disengage from the wire rope. At the same time, the steel plate 21 drives the fixed sleeve 19 and the swing shaft 9 downward along the swing shaft movable hole 7, and the swing shaft 9 drives the swing plate 8 to swing.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
