Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gliding zipline technology, specifically a power mechanism for gliding ziplines. Background Technology
[0002] The wing-glide zipline is a popular amusement ride, typically consisting of a high-altitude zipline with a significant drop and suspended cabins. It comprises a tensioning mechanism, traction mechanism, suspended cabins, upper and lower platforms, and an electrical system. Riders board the zipline at the lower platform and slowly ascend to the upper platform at a speed of 4 m / s, enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding scenery. Upon reaching the upper platform, the zipline then plunges down to the lower platform at a speed of 8 m / s. When the airship reaches the platform, it decelerates to 1.5-2 m / s, enters the lower platform, and comes to a stop. Throughout the process, the cabin glides at high speed along the cableway using gravity, providing a thrilling experience similar to flight. This type of facility is commonly found in scenic areas or amusement parks, suitable for mass entertainment, and combines safety and fun. In the existing technology, patent CN220245405U discloses a traction mechanism for a gliding wing zipline, including a base and a protective mechanism. The base has a mounting frame on its upper right side, a mounting rod on the upper side inside the mounting frame, and mounting posts on the upper side of the inner wall of the mounting frame. The device includes guide grooves located on the upper and lower sides of the outer arc surface of the mounting rod. A pulley is rotatably connected to the middle of the outer arc surface of the mounting rod via a bearing. Vertical plates are respectively installed on the left side of the upper end of the base. An adjusting rod is rotatably connected between the opposite inner surfaces of the vertical plates via a bearing. A winding reel is installed in the middle of the outer arc surface of the adjusting rod, and a steel wire rope is wound around the middle of the outer arc surface of the winding reel. The steel wire rope is slidably connected to the outer surface of the pulley. In use, the steel wire rope is connected to the gliding wing via a hook. The load-bearing capacity of the mounting rod is changed by adjusting the position of the reinforcing rod in the protective mechanism. To address the issue of damage to the mounting rod caused by excessive weight of the glider zipline, the aforementioned traction mechanism of the glider zipline has the following problems: the overall equipment is a common winch structure, with the steel wire rope connected to the glider via a hook. Overhead ziplines often have large gaps and drops. During operation, the suspended cabin continuously passes over the ascending zipline. The equipment only considers the traction effect when the winch retracts the line, without considering how the hook and steel wire rope return from the upper platform to the lower platform for the next traction operation. Therefore, we propose a power mechanism for the glider zipline. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting component also includes a guide protrusion and a guide groove. The guide protrusion is located at the lower center of the fixed block, and the guide groove is located at the lower rear side of the limiting block. The outer surface of the guide protrusion is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove, providing guidance for automatic clamping and releasing.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The power mechanism of this gliding wing zipline has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. By pressing the moving block and the limiting post with the limiting block, the movement of the limiting post causes the limiting protrusion to move. When the limiting protrusion leaves the limiting groove on the rear side, the moving block is no longer restricted and can move back and forth, thereby quickly clamping and releasing the traction cable. The traction cable is clamped when departing from the lower platform and released after reaching the upper platform, realizing the automatic traction and release of the suspended cabin.
[0016] 2. When the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove on the rear side, the fixed block and the moving block form a self-locking effect, which will firmly form a self-locking state with the traction steel cable, thereby causing the suspended cabin to move upward with the cyclically rotating traction steel cable, realizing the self-locking of the suspended cabin, thus preventing the fixed block and the moving block from loosening and causing safety accidents.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a power mechanism for a gliding wing zipline, including a mounting block 1 and an automatic limiting mechanism 4;

The outer surfaces of the support wheels 6 are slidably connected to the outer surfaces of the vertically adjacent support cables 5. The support wheels 6 provide the basis for the movement of the suspended cabins on the support cables 5. The support wheels 6 can cooperate with an external tensioning device.

Both the traction wheels 8 and 9 are connected via a traction cable 10. The thickness of the pressure wheel 9 is less than the diameter of the traction cable 10 to prevent excessive thickness from affecting the clamping of the traction cable 10 by the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3. The outer edge of the pressure wheel 9 has a notch that matches the outer surface of the traction cable 10 to prevent it from falling off. The overall height of the pressure wheel 9 is lower than the height of the traction wheel 8, allowing the traction cable 10 to be positioned between the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3, providing a foundation for the cyclic traction operation of the suspended cabin.

The clearance groove 41 is located in the middle of the front side inside the moving block 3, providing clearance for the movement of the moving block 3. The limiting post 42 is slidably connected to the middle of the front side inside the moving block 3. A spring 43 is provided between the upper end of the limiting post 42 and the inner wall of the moving block 3. The limiting protrusions 44 are all located on the left and right sides of the middle of the outer surface of the limiting post 42. The limiting grooves 45 are all located in the middle of the front side of the upper end of the moving block 3. The limiting protrusions 44 and the limiting grooves 45 are fitted together. The front limiting grooves 45 are used for... The positioning work of the limiting protrusion 44 and the limiting groove 45 on the rear side are used for self-locking between the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3, providing a basis for self-locking between the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3. The automatic limiting mechanism 4 also includes a sliding column 46, a baffle 47 and a tension spring 48. The sliding column 46 is located at the rear end of the fixed block 2, and the baffle 47 is located at the rear end of the moving block 3. Sliding holes are opened on both the left and right sides inside the baffle 47. The outer surface of the sliding column 46 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole. A tension spring 48 is provided between the rear end of the fixed block 2 and the front end of the baffle 47. The tension spring 48 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding column 46, providing a basis for displacement between the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3. All limiting components 49 are located on the lower front side of the mounting block 1. Each limiting component 49 includes a limiting block 491 and a sliding groove 492. The limiting blocks 491 are all located on the lower front side of the mounting block 1 and are connected to the elevated structure corresponding to the upper and lower platforms. When installing the limiting blocks 491, it is necessary to ensure that the upper end of the limiting block 491 slides against the lower end of the fixed block 2 when the fixed block 2 passes by. The upper rear side of the limiting block 491 slides against the lower end of the moving block 3. The sliding grooves 492 are all opened inside the upper front side of the limiting block 491. The inner wall of the sliding groove 492 slides against the front end of the outer surface of the moving block 3, which is an automatic connection between the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3. The clamping and releasing mechanism provides a basis for automatic clamping and releasing. The limiting component 49 also includes a guide protrusion 493 and a guide groove 494. The guide protrusion 493 is located at the lower middle of the fixed block 2. The guide groove 494 is located at the lower rear side of the inner end of the limiting block 491. The outer surface of the guide protrusion 493 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 494, providing guidance for automatic clamping and releasing. An automatic limiting mechanism 4 is provided. Through the displacement and self-locking between the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3, and in conjunction with the limiting of the limiting block 491, the traction cable 10 can be automatically clamped and released. With the cyclic operation of the traction cable 10, the automatic traction and release of the suspended cabin can be realized.
[0025] The working principle of the power mechanism of the gliding wing zipline provided by this utility model is as follows: Before the gliding wing zipline is put into operation, the equipment needs to be installed. The support steel cables 5 are fixed between the upper and lower platforms, so that the two support steel cables 5 on the left form the upward steel cable and the two support steel cables 5 on the right form the downward steel cable. The two sets of support steel cables 5 form a loop between the upper and lower platforms. The mounting block 1 and the limiting block 491 are installed at appropriate positions on the upper and lower platforms. Then, the connecting frame 7 is placed above the upward steel cable. After the suspended cabin is connected to the connecting frame 7, the single-chip microcomputer 13 controls the motor 12 to operate. The motor 12 drives the left traction wheel 8 to rotate through the reduction gearbox 11. Through the transmission of the traction steel cable 10, the two pressure wheels 9 and the right The traction wheel 8 on the side also rotates synchronously, and the traction cable 10 rotates cyclically along the trajectory of the traction wheel 8 and the pressure wheel 9. After the tourists fasten their safety equipment, they board the suspended cabin at the lower platform. The staff will manually push the suspended cabin in the direction of movement of the traction cable 10, causing the connecting frame 7, the fixed block 2, and the moving block 3 to move synchronously. At this time, the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3 are still in a clamped state, the spring 43 is in an expanded state, and the lower end of the limiting post 42 is outside the fixed block 2. As the suspended cabin continues to move, the guide protrusion 493 at the lower end of the fixed block 2 enters the guide groove 494. At the same time, the upper end of the limiting block 491 presses against the lower end of the limiting post 42, and the limiting post 42 moves upward under force. Then, the limiting block 491 keeps moving upward, and the spring... 43 contracts under force, and the limiting protrusion 44 moves upward synchronously until the limiting protrusion 44 completely leaves the interior of the limiting groove 45 located on the rear side. As the suspended cockpit continues to move, the front end of the moving block 3 contacts the protrusion inside the slide groove 492. The protrusion inside the slide groove 492 squeezes the moving block 3, causing the moving block 3 to move backward. The baffle 47 also moves backward, and the tension spring 48 expands under force until the limiting groove 45 located on the front side is vertically adjacent to the limiting protrusion 44. At this time, the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3 are in a separated state, and the traction cable 10 just enters between the fixed block 2 and the moving block 3. When the moving block 3 has completely passed the protrusion inside the slide groove 492, the moving block 3 is no longer under force, the tension spring 48 contracts, and drives the baffle 47 and the moving block 3 back to their original positions. 45 re-adjacent to the limiting protrusion 44 vertically, with the fixed block 2 and movable block 3 in a clamping state. When the middle of the fixed block 2 passes the limiting block 491, the lower end of the limiting post 42 is no longer under force, and the spring 43 expands under no force, causing the limiting post 42 and the limiting protrusion 44 to move downwards until the limiting protrusion 44 re-inserts into the interior of the limiting groove 45 on the rear side. At this time, the fixed block 2 and movable block 3 are completely separated from the limiting block 491, and the operator stops pushing the suspended cabin. The fixed block 2 and movable block 3 form a clamping effect on the cyclically rotating traction cable 10. The suspended cabin and connecting frame 7 also move upwards to the platform as the traction cable 10 moves. The limiting protrusion 44 is located inside the limiting groove 45 on the rear side, forming a self-locking mechanism between the fixed block 2 and the movable block 3.To ensure that the fixed block 2 and the movable block 3 do not loosen the traction cable 10, when the suspended cabin just enters the upper platform, the staff manually assists in pulling the suspended cabin, repeating the above steps. When the fixed block 2 and the movable block 3 are separated, continue pulling the suspended cabin, causing the traction cable 10 to leave the space between the fixed block 2 and the movable block 3. Then, it is transferred through the guide frame on the upper platform to the other side of the downhill cable for high-speed descent. When the suspended cabin descends to near the lower platform, the external tensioning mechanism activates to ensure the suspended cabin reaches a safe descent speed, then enters the lower platform, and is transferred through the guide frame on the lower platform to the uphill cable, repeating this process.
[0026] It is worth noting that the microcontroller 13 disclosed in the above embodiments is a microcontroller, and the motor 12 is a Y2-280S-8 motor. The microcontroller 13 controls the operation of the motor 12 using methods commonly used in the prior art.
[0027] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
