Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of amusement facility technology, and more particularly to a counterweight friction deceleration mechanism for climbing frame slide rails. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern amusement facilities, climbing frame slides, as a project that combines entertainment and challenge, are widely used in various outdoor adventure venues and theme parks. This equipment typically consists of a slide between two platforms with a height difference, where passengers ride trolleys that slide from the higher platform to the lower one. To meet the thrill-seeking experience demands of visitors, the trolleys must maintain a high speed during the sliding section. However, when the trolley reaches the end of the track, due to inertia, its high-speed motion can easily cause it to collide with the platform railings and pillars, posing a serious threat to passenger safety and potentially damaging the equipment, thus disrupting normal operation.

[0003] Chinese patent CN218961748U discloses a multi-stage buffered track trolley. This trolley includes a closed-loop track, several buffer components fixed to the track, and a trolley sliding on the track. Each buffer component includes a bracket fixedly connected to the track and a pair of buffer plates fixedly connected to the bracket. The pair of buffer plates are located on opposite sides of the track. A pair of impact plates are mounted on the top of the trolley, corresponding to the pair of buffer plates. The trolley is gradually decelerated by the continuous buffering of inertial impacts from the several equally spaced buffer components. However, friction-based deceleration, due to direct contact between components, results in severe wear and a short service life. It is ineffective when dealing with large-mass trolleys and cannot meet the demands of high-intensity use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a counterweight friction deceleration mechanism for climbing frame slide rails to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model is a counterweight friction deceleration mechanism for climbing frame slide rails, which includes a climbing frame slide rail 1, a brake slide rail 2 fixed to one side of the climbing frame slide rail 1, a brake trolley 3 that moves along the brake slide rail 2, and a transmission mechanism 4 and a counterweight block 5 connected to the brake trolley 3.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The climbing frame slide rail 1 includes a climbing frame slide rail keel 11, a climbing frame trolley track tube 12, and a climbing frame slide rail mounting plate 13 that fixes the relative positions of the two. The climbing frame slide rail keel 11 serves as a load-bearing frame, providing structural rigidity. The climbing frame trolley track tube 12 is located outside the climbing frame slide rail keel 11, and its extension direction is the same as that of the climbing frame slide rail keel 11. The top of the climbing frame slide rail mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the climbing frame slide rail keel 11, and the bottom extends to the bottom of the climbing frame trolley track tube 12, supporting the climbing frame trolley track tube 12. The climbing frame slide rail mounting plate 13 also forms a clearance area 14 for the passage of the climbing frame trolley (not shown). The climbing frame trolley track tube 12 supports and guides the sliding of the climbing frame trolley.

[0029] Preferably, the climbing frame slide rail 1 includes a climbing frame trolley protection plate 15, which is located in the clearance area 14, fixedly connected to the climbing frame slide rail mounting plate 13 and located above the climbing frame trolley track tube 12, to ensure that the climbing frame trolley will not fall off the climbing frame trolley track tube 12.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The brake rail 2 includes a brake rail keel 21, a start end cover plate 22 and an end end cover plate 23 located at both ends of the brake rail keel 21. The brake rail keel 21 is located on the outside of the climbing frame rail 1, and its length matches the braking section of the climbing frame rail 1. The start end cover plate 22 and the end end cover plate 23 are arranged opposite to each other, each fixedly connected to the brake rail keel 21 on one side and extending outward on the other side. Both the start end cover plate 22 and the end end cover plate 23 are provided with anti-collision blocks 24 on opposite sides. The anti-collision blocks 24 are polyurethane coated to buffer the impact of the brake trolley 3.

[0031] The brake slide rail 2 includes a brake connecting plate 25, which is connected to the climbing frame trolley protection plate 15 and the brake track keel 21 respectively to ensure the position of the brake slide rail 2.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 3 The braking trolley 3 includes a trolley frame 31, front and rear impact blocks 32 mounted on the trolley frame 31, a cable connecting rod 33, and trolley guide wheels 34 mounted on the trolley frame 31. The trolley frame 31 forms a portal structure to support the various components of the braking trolley 3. The front and rear impact blocks 32 are welded to both ends of the trolley frame 31, respectively bearing impacts from the anti-collision blocks 24 mounted on the beginning cover plate 22 and the end cover plate 23. The cable connecting rod 33 is fixedly connected to the trolley frame 31 by bolts or screws, facilitating the connection of the transmission mechanism 4. The trolley frame 31 is also fixedly mounted with several fixed seats 311, with optical shafts 312 and bearings 313 sleeved on the optical shafts 312 respectively mounted on the fixed seats 311. The trolley guide wheels 34 are mounted on the trolley frame 31 through the bearings 313, allowing the trolley frame 31 to move along the braking slide rail 2.

[0033] The brake trolley 3 also includes a swing arm mechanism 35, which includes a swing arm body 351, a stop block 352 connecting the swing arm body 351, and an arc-shaped curved plate 353. A swing arm pivot 354 and a swing arm roller 355 are respectively installed at both ends of the arc-shaped curved plate 353. The stop block 352 is fixedly connected to one end of the swing arm body 351, and its surface is covered with rubber material for shock absorption and noise reduction. The other end of the swing arm body 351 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the arc-shaped curved plate 353, forming a lever structure. The arc-shaped curved plate 353 is an arc-shaped plate, meaning that both ends of the arc-shaped curved plate 353 extend in an arc away from the swing arm body 351. The swing arm pivot 354 passes through the upper and lower surfaces of the arc-shaped curved plate 353 and is movably connected to the trolley frame 31. The trolley guide wheel 34 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped curved plate 353 by bolts or screws and can slide along the surface of the brake track keel 21.

[0034] The brake trolley 3 is also equipped with a swing arm outer limit block 36, which is installed on the trolley frame 31 and has a rubber buffer pad embedded on its surface to reduce the impact of the swing arm mechanism 35.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 4The transmission mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 41, a pulley 42 mounted on the mounting frame 41, and a double-layer winch 43. The mounting frame 41 is fixedly mounted to one end of the climbing frame slide rail 1. The pulley 42 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame 41. The double-layer winch 43 is mounted inside the mounting frame 41 via a bearing 313, a fixed seat 311, and its optical shaft 312. That is, the optical shaft 312 passes through the bearing 313, the fixed seat 311, and the double-layer winch 43. One end of the optical shaft 312 extends outward and is fitted with a one-way bearing 44 and a friction disc 45. The friction disc 45 is fixedly connected to the one-way bearing 44 by bolts or screws. The one-way bearing 44 and the friction disc 45 rotate synchronously with the optical shaft 312. A friction plate 46 is fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 41. When the friction disc 45 rotates, it rubs against the friction plate 46 to generate a braking torque.

[0036] In this embodiment, the cable is guided by the pulley 42 to connect the counterweight 5 and the double-layer winch 43, and another cable is connected to the cable connecting rod 33 of the brake rail 2 through the double-layer winch 43.

[0037] When the counterweight friction deceleration mechanism for climbing frame slide rail of this utility model is used, the climbing frame trolley (not shown) slides along the climbing frame slide rail 1. When it enters the braking section, the climbing frame trolley collides with the stop block 352, and the stop block 352 drives the braking trolley 3 to move along the braking slide rail 2.

[0038] During the sliding process, the brake trolley 3 pulls out the cable, which drives the double-layer winch 43 to rotate in the forward direction, thereby winding up the cable connected to the counterweight 5. The counterweight 5 rises, and at the same time, the double-layer winch 43 drives the friction disc 45 to rotate through the optical shaft 312. The friction disc 45 and the friction plate 46 generate braking through friction. When the brake trolley 3 moves to the end of the brake slide rail 2 with the climbing frame trolley, it stops sliding after hitting the anti-collision block 24. At this time, the swing arm roller 355 stops resisting the brake track keel 21, the stop block 352 loses support, moves around the swing arm pivot 354 as the center, and exits the movement path of the climbing frame trolley, allowing the climbing frame trolley to continue sliding forward at a low speed and leave the braking section.

[0039] After the climbing frame trolley moves away, the counterweight 5 falls due to gravity. During the fall, the counterweight 5 pulls out the cable, which drives the double winch 43 to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby winding up the cable connected to the brake trolley 3, causing the brake trolley 3 to slide towards the beginning of the brake rail 2. Then, the trolley guide wheel 34 is pushed by the brake rail keel 21, causing the swing arm mechanism 35 to hit the outer limit block 36 of the swing arm. The trolley guide wheel 34 slides against its surface again, and the stop block 352 enters the travel path of the climbing frame trolley, completing the reset.

[0040] This utility model is a counterweight friction deceleration mechanism for climbing frame slide rails. It overcomes the limitations of single deceleration methods and achieves efficient and reliable deceleration. Through the ingenious design of the mechanical structure, it combines counterweight potential energy conversion, friction braking, elastic buffering and automatic reset functions. It achieves efficient and low-maintenance deceleration control without the need for external energy. It is especially suitable for amusement facilities with high intensity and high frequency of use, and effectively solves the technical problems of severe wear and unreliable deceleration in the prior art.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
