[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model discloses a drive chassis for an amusement train, including a chassis 1. The chassis 1 is equipped with a moving mechanism 2 for driving the chassis 1 to move on the road surface. In some embodiments, the moving mechanism 2 includes a drive wheel mechanism 21 located at the rear end of the chassis 1 and a steering wheel mechanism 22 located at the front end of the chassis 1. The drive wheel mechanism 21 may include two rear drive wheels, which serve as the power source for driving the chassis 1 to move. The steering wheel mechanism 22 may be a single adjusting wheel for adjusting the direction of movement of the chassis 1. In use, the driver can control the movement of the adjusting wheel through the steering wheel, and the direction of travel of the chassis 1 can be changed by changing the angle of the adjusting wheel. The above structure constitutes a simple three-wheeled chassis structure, which is the prior art. Therefore, the specific structure of the drive wheel mechanism 21 and the steering wheel mechanism 22 will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Based on the aforementioned existing technology, the main innovation of this utility model lies in:

[0025] An anti-rollover mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the vehicle floor 1. The purpose of the anti-rollover mechanism 3 is to prevent the vehicle floor 1 from tipping over due to instability of its center of gravity. In this embodiment, the anti-rollover mechanism 3 includes a slide rail 31 fixed to the bottom of the vehicle floor 1. A balance plate 32 is slidably disposed in the slide rail 31, and the slide rail 31 is connected to a control mechanism 33 for driving the balance plate 32 to move in the width direction of the vehicle floor 1.

[0026] With the above structure, when the vehicle floor 1 tilts to one side and tends to overturn, the control mechanism 33 can drive the balance plate 32 to move, so that one end of the balance plate 32 moves from the side with the lower height of the vehicle floor 1. In this way, the balance plate 32 can support the side of the vehicle floor 1 by supporting it on the ground, thereby playing a role in preventing overturning.

[0027] Furthermore, the balance plate 32 is provided with connecting rods 34 at both ends. One end of the connecting rod 34 is rotatably connected to the balance plate 32, and the other end of the connecting rod 34 is rotatably provided with a support wheel 35. The rotation plane of the connecting rod 34 is perpendicular to the plane of the vehicle floor 1. A spring shock absorber 36 is connected between the upper side of the connecting rod 34 and the balance plate 32. Specifically, the two ends of the spring shock absorber 36 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 34 and the balance plate 32, respectively. With the setting of the support wheel 35, when the vehicle floor 1 tilts, the balance plate 32 will extend from the side of the vehicle floor 1 and be supported on the ground by the support wheel 35, reducing the friction force in contact with the ground. In addition, with the setting of the spring shock absorber 36, when the vehicle floor 1 tilts, the support wheel 35 will first contact the ground, and then the connecting rod 34 and the balance plate 32 will rotate. The extension and retraction of the spring shock absorber 36 will play a buffering role.

[0028] There are two slide rails 31, and two balance plates 32 are slidably installed inside the two slide rails 31. The two balance plates 32 are fixed together by a connecting plate 37.

[0029] The control mechanism 33 includes a motor 331 fixed on one of the slide rails 31. A gear 332 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 331, and a toothed plate 333 is fixed to the balance plate 32. The gear 332 and the toothed plate 333 are meshed together. The power supply of the motor 331 can be fixed on the vehicle floor 1. When the vehicle floor 1 tends to roll over, the power supply of the motor 331 is turned on. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 331 drives the gear 332 to rotate. When the gear 332 rotates, it drives the toothed plate 333 to move. When the toothed plate 333 moves, it drives the balance plate 32 to move and extend from one side of the vehicle floor 1, which plays a supporting role in preventing rollover.

[0030] Furthermore, a control box 334 is fixed externally to the motor 331. The control box 334 protects the motor 331. A PLC controller 335 and a tilt sensor 336 are fixed inside the control box 334. The signal output terminal of the tilt sensor 336 is connected to the signal input terminal of the PLC controller 335, and the signal output terminal of the PLC controller 335 is connected to the signal input terminal of the motor 331. The tilt sensor 336 is existing technology. In a vehicle, the tilt sensor 336 is used to monitor the tilt state of the vehicle. When the vehicle floor 1 shows a tendency to roll over, the tilt sensor 336 monitors the tilt angle of the vehicle floor 1 and sends a signal to the PLC controller 335. When the tilt angle of the vehicle floor 1 reaches a certain value, the PLC controller 335 sends a signal to the signal input terminal of the motor 331. The motor 331 drives the balance plate 32 to move, and the support wheel 35 provides support from one side of the vehicle floor 1, effectively preventing rollover.

[0031] When the vehicle floor 1 is in a horizontal position, the support wheel 35 is suspended in the air and will not affect the normal driving of the vehicle floor 1.

[0032] A bumper 4 is fixed to the front end of the vehicle floor 1, which can protect the front of the vehicle floor 1.

[0033] In summary, this utility model aims to provide a drive chassis for an amusement train. By adding an anti-rollover mechanism 3, including a slide rail 31, a balance plate 32, a control mechanism 33, etc., when the amusement train tends to roll over, the balance plate 32 and support wheels 35 can be automatically extended to provide support, effectively preventing the amusement train from rolling over when turning or passing through slopes, and improving the safety and stability of the amusement train.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
