However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0023] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in a preferred embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0024] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.
[0025] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a high-safety swing for pocket parks, including a support frame 1, a crossbeam frame 2 rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 1, a rocker arm 3 connected to the bottom of the crossbeam frame 2, and a swing seat 4 connected to the lower end of the rocker arm 3; wherein, a fence 1 5 and a fence 2 6 are respectively movably installed at the front and rear ends of the support frame 1.
[0026] To improve the safety of those around you and yourself when playing on the swing, before swinging, the guardrails 5 and 6 at both ends of the support frame 1 should be lowered to form a sealed space. The area enclosed by the guardrails 5 and 6 and the support frame 1 is the swing area of the swing seat 4, which can be designated as a danger zone to prevent other people from entering. The area outside the guardrails 5 and 6 and the support frame 1 is the safety zone. Within the safety zone, there will be no collision with the swing. The guardrails 5 and 6 and the support frame 1 can effectively prevent other people from entering the swing area of the swing seat 4, thus effectively avoiding collisions and improving the safety of swing use.
[0027] When the swing of this device is swinging, people sit on the swing seat 4. With the push of other people, the swing seat 4 rotates with the rocker arm 3 as the radius and the crossbeam frame 2 as the center. The two ends of the crossbeam frame 2 are rotatably connected to the support 1, and the lower end of the support 1 is fixed to the ground with bolts.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side view of the bracket 1 is a triangular structure. The triangular structure has stability and can provide safe and stable support for the swing seat 4 to swing.
[0029] Please see Figures 2 to 4 As shown, connecting seats 11 are provided on the front and rear sides of the bracket 1, and connecting blocks 51 are installed at both ends of the first fence 5 and the second fence 6. The connecting blocks 51 on the first fence 5 and the second fence 6 are rotatably connected to the connecting seats 11 through the pin 12.
[0030] Connecting blocks 51 are installed at both ends of fence 1 5 and fence 2 6 respectively. The connecting blocks 51 are rotatably connected to the connecting seat 11 of the bracket 1 via pins 12. This allows fence 1 5 and fence 2 6 to be rotated and adjusted relative to the bracket 1. Fence 1 5 and fence 2 6 can be pushed up to fold up or pushed down to unfold, forming a safe area with the bracket 1.
[0031] Please see Figure 3 As shown, a limit piece 111 is provided below each connector 11;
[0032] A limiting piece 111 is provided below each connecting seat 11 to limit the position of the first fence 5 and the second fence 6 when they are lowered, so that the first fence 5 and the second fence 6 can be released to the horizontal position. Figure 1 As shown, due to the obstruction of the limiting piece 111, the connecting block 51 and the connecting seat 11 can no longer rotate downwards, thus keeping the fence 1 5 and fence 2 6 horizontal, which facilitates the formation of a fence and provides safety.
[0033] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a socket 13 is provided through the front and back of the bracket 1. The socket 13 is used to insert a plug plate 14 to limit the rotation of the connecting block 51 on the connecting seat 11.
[0034] The function of the insert plate 14 is to prevent the lowered fence 5 and fence 6 from being lifted up by others, thus preventing them from losing their barrier effect. By inserting the insert plate 14 into the socket 13, the rotation of the connecting block 51 and the connecting seat 11 can be limited, thereby preventing outsiders from pushing fence 5 and fence 6 into the danger zone when the swing seat 4 is swinging, and preventing fence 5 and fence 6 from losing their blocking effect.
[0035] Please see Figure 4 As shown, the bracket 1 is also equipped with straps 7, and each strap 7 has a hook and loop fastener and a barbed hook and loop fastener at both ends.
[0036] In this embodiment, fence 5 and fence 6 can be pushed upwards and retracted. When the swing is not in use, fence 5 and fence 6 can be retracted and secured by straps 7 on the bracket 1, which can free up space and prevent obstruction of the activity of the swingers. The two ends of the straps 7 can be fixed by Velcro or by buckles at both ends of the straps 7. In short, as long as fence 5 and fence 6 can be secured, it is acceptable.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When playing on the swing, in order to improve the safety of the surrounding people and oneself, before swinging, the first 5 and the second 6 of the front and rear ends of the support 1 need to be lowered to form a sealed space. The area enclosed by the first 5, the second 6 and the support 1 is the swing seat 4's swinging area, which can be set as a danger zone to prevent other people from entering. The area outside the enclosure of the first 5, the second 6 and the support 1 is the safety zone. In the safety zone, there will be no collision with the swing. Furthermore, the enclosure of the first 5, the second 6 and the support 1 can effectively prevent other people from entering the swing seat 4's swinging area, effectively avoiding collisions and thus improving the safety of swing use.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
