Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement equipment technology, and in particular to a novel rotating device for a self-controlled aircraft. Background Technology
[0002] The rotating roller coaster consists of a central pillar, multiple rotating cantilever arms, and suspended cabins. During operation, the cantilever arms rotate and rise, while the cabins swing outwards under centrifugal force, creating a spiraling upward effect. Passengers can experience a 360° panoramic view during the rotation, combined with lighting and dynamic music, creating a thrilling and exhilarating aerial journey.
[0003] The lifting and rotation effects of existing self-controlled flying cars are mainly achieved by using hydraulic cylinders to extend and retract the cantilever to swing. This design has several significant drawbacks. First, because the cantilever needs to lift at multiple angles, multiple hydraulic cylinders are usually required to work together, which complicates the overall mechanical structure. This not only increases the difficulty of equipment manufacturing and assembly but also raises maintenance costs—the hydraulic system requires regular replacement of seals and inspection for oil leaks, and the hydraulic cylinders are prone to wear or unstable oil pressure during frequent extension and retraction, resulting in a high failure rate. Second, the multiple hydraulic cylinders and their associated pump stations, valve groups, and high-pressure pipeline systems significantly increase the equipment's weight, necessitating a reinforced load-bearing design for the main steel structure, further increasing material costs, and also making equipment transportation and on-site hoisting more difficult.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a novel rotating device for self-controlled aircraft. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This novel rotating device for the self-controlled aircraft comprises a base, a rotating seat, a guide mechanism, a drive system, and a cantilever assembly. During operation, a hydraulic cylinder pushes a guide frame up and down along an arc-shaped guide groove. Two sets of motors drive the rotating block and the rotating seat to rotate in opposite directions, which in turn moves the cockpit via a multi-link mechanism. The rotating cover plate rotates with the rotating seat while the guide frame rotates in the opposite direction.

Furthermore, it optimizes the complex structure of traditional hydraulic systems, offering advantages such as easy maintenance and low energy consumption.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel rotating device for a self-controlled aircraft, comprising a base 1, a rotating seat 2 rotatably mounted on the top of the base 1, a guide groove 3 formed at the top of the rotating seat 2, a guide frame 4 vertically mounted inside the guide groove 3, a rotating cover plate 5 rotatably mounted on the top of the guide frame 4, and a decorative frame 6 fixedly mounted on the top of the rotating cover plate 5. The decorative frame 6 can be in the form of various cartoon characters; in this embodiment, a planet-shaped decorative frame 6 is used.
[0028] Multiple cockpits 7 are hinged to the outer side of the rotating seat 2 and the rotating cover plate 5 via a cantilever assembly. The cantilever assembly includes a V-shaped cantilever 20, a first connecting rod 21, and a second connecting rod 22. The V-shaped cantilever 20 is hinged to the bottom of the outer wall of the rotating seat 2, and the other end of the V-shaped cantilever 20 is fixedly connected to the cockpit 7. The first connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the rotating seat 2 at the position corresponding to the V-shaped cantilever 20, and the other end of the first connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected to the cockpit 7. The second connecting rod 22 is hinged to the outer wall of the rotating cover plate 5, and the other end of the second connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to the corner of the V-shaped cantilever 20.
[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model: an elastic protective sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the rotating cover plate 5, and the elastic protective sleeve 8 is housed inside the rotating seat 2.
[0030] The guide groove 3 and guide frame 4 are fitted together, and both the guide groove 3 and guide frame 4 are arc-shaped. A rotating block 9 is rotatably mounted at the bottom of the rotating seat 2. A fixed seat 10 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the rotating block 9, and a hydraulic cylinder 11 is rotatably mounted on the fixed seat 10. A slider 12 is slidably mounted at the top of the guide frame 4, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 11 is hinged to the slider 12. Specifically, a slide rail 13 is fixedly mounted at the top of the guide frame 4, and the slider 12 is slidably mounted inside the slide rail 13.
[0031] Regarding the drive module: A first gear ring 14 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating block 9, a first motor 15 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the rotating seat 2, a first gear 16 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the first motor 15, and the first gear 16 meshes with the first gear ring 14.
[0032] Furthermore, a second gear ring 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating seat 2, a second motor 18 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the base 1, and a second gear 19 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor 18. The second gear 19 meshes with the second gear ring 17.
[0033] This automated aircraft system achieves the cyclical lifting and lowering of the cockpit through mechanical linkage. When the rotating cover 5 rotates, its inclined surface undergoes periodic height changes: the cockpit 7 connected to the lower end of the inclined surface 5 tends to descend under the traction of the second link 22, while the 7 connected to the higher end is pushed upward. With the continuous operation of the rotating seat 2 and the rotating cover 5, multiple cockpits 7 form a continuous and coordinated lifting and lowering cycle under the drive of the V-shaped cantilever 20 and the linkage mechanism.
[0034] Multiple fixing brackets 23 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the outer wall of the base 1, and ground nails are provided on the fixing brackets 23.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] When the system starts, the hydraulic cylinder 11, the first motor 15, and the second motor 18 work synchronously and in coordination. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 11 extends, and through the cooperation of the slider 12 and the slide rail 13, it pushes the arc-shaped guide frame 4 to rise smoothly along the preset trajectory of the guide groove 3. Since the guide groove 3 adopts a machined arc surface, the guide frame 4 naturally forms a specific tilt angle when it rises to the highest point, causing the rotating cover plate 5 to tilt. The first motor 15 drives the rotating block 9 to rotate at a set speed and torque through the involute meshing of the first gear 16 and the first gear ring 14, thereby driving the fixed base 10 and the hydraulic cylinder 11 to rotate as a whole, so that the guide frame 4 can rotate while rising and falling.
[0037] Meanwhile, the second motor 18, through the double-arc tooth meshing of the second gear 19 and the second gear ring 17, drives the rotating seat 2 to rotate smoothly in the opposite direction to the rotating block 9. The rotating seat 2, through a multi-link mechanism composed of the V-shaped cantilever 20, the first link 21, and the second link 22, drives the cockpit 7 to achieve compound motion. During this process, the rotating cover 5 rotates clockwise at a uniform speed with the rotating seat 2, while the guide frame 4 rotates counterclockwise under the drive of the first motor 15, forming a relative motion between the two. Under the periodic guidance of the inclined surface of the rotating cover 5, the second link 22 generates a regular up-and-down reciprocating motion. Through the lever action of the V-shaped cantilever 20, the cockpit 7 achieves lifting and lowering motion while revolving with the rotating seat 2. Throughout the entire motion, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic cylinder 11 and the speed of the first motor 15 and the second motor 18 are matched by the control system to ensure that the lifting and lowering motion of the guide frame 4 is perfectly coordinated with the rotational motion of the rotating block 9 and the rotating seat 2, thereby enabling the cockpit 7 to produce a predetermined spatial trajectory motion, including compound actions such as rotation, lifting, and swinging.
[0038] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
