[0031] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present application, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present application.
[0032] like Figure 1-11As shown, a self-powered swing amusement device includes a support frame, a seat 3 hinged on the support frame, a connecting rod 5 on the support frame along the back-and-forth swing direction of the seat 3, and an assist rope 6 at the end of the connecting rod 5 for the user on the seat 3 to pull.
[0033] The support frame, as the load-bearing structure of the entire swing, can be made of metal to ensure sufficient strength and stability.
[0034] A support rope 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 5. The support rope 6 is usually made of a rope with a certain strength and flexibility, such as nylon rope.
[0035] When the user is seated in seat 3, they can hold onto the assist rope 6 with both hands. During the swing's back-and-forth movement, the user can actively pull on the assist rope 6 to apply additional force, thereby increasing the swing's amplitude and speed. This allows for self-controlled play by a single person, solving the problem of traditional swings being strenuous and offering a poor experience for individual users. This design allows users to control the swing's movement more independently, enhancing the fun and interactivity of the experience.
[0036] In some further embodiments, the support frame includes a crossbeam 2 and a bracket 1. The bracket 1 has a V-shaped structure, with its top connected to the crossbeam 2 and its bottom ends abutting against the ground. There are multiple brackets 1, which are spaced apart along the length of the crossbeam 2. A seat 3 and a support rope 6 are provided between each pair of adjacent brackets 1.
[0037] The support frame specifically includes a crossbeam 2 and multiple supports 1. The crossbeam 2, as the main load-bearing component, can be made of sturdy metal tubing or structural steel, and its length is determined according to the site and actual usage requirements. The supports 1 have a V-shaped structure, which provides good stability and effectively distributes the weight borne by the support frame. The top of the supports 1 is firmly connected to the crossbeam 2, usually by welding or bolting, ensuring reliable connection. The two ends of the bottom of the supports 1 abut against the ground, providing stable support for the entire swing. Multiple supports 1 are spaced apart along the length of the crossbeam 2, and a seat 3 and a support rope 6 are installed between adjacent supports 1.
[0038] The arrangement of multiple supports 1 and seats 3 allows the swing amusement equipment to accommodate multiple people simultaneously, improving the utilization rate and play efficiency of the equipment. The stable structure of the V-shaped support 1 ensures that the equipment remains stable even when multiple people are playing, preventing excessive shaking or tilting and other safety hazards, thus providing a safe and reliable play environment for tourists.
[0039] In some further embodiments, the crossbeam 2 is provided with a hinge handle 20, and the seat 3 is provided with a connecting rod 4, one end of the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the hinge handle 20, and the other end is connected to the seat 3.
[0040] A hinge handle 20 is fixedly installed on the crossbeam 2. The hinge handle 20 is usually made of metal, and its shape and size are designed according to the hinge requirements with the connecting rod 4. A connecting rod 4 is installed on the seat 3. One end of the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the hinge handle 20 through a hinge shaft, so that the connecting rod 4 can rotate around the hinge shaft; the other end is connected to the seat 3, and the connection method can be welding or fixing with bolts, etc.
[0041] The hinge design of the hinge handle 20 and the connecting rod 4 enables a flexible connection between the seat 3 and the support frame, allowing the seat 3 to swing back and forth around the hinge point. This structure is simple and reliable, capable of withstanding various forces generated by the seat 3 and the user during the swinging process, ensuring the normal operation of the swing. At the same time, this hinge method also facilitates the installation and disassembly of the equipment, making future maintenance and repair easier.
[0042] In some further embodiments, both ends of the connecting rod 5 are provided with assist ropes 6.
[0043] When the seat 3 swings forward, the user can pull the assist rope 6 at the front end of the connecting rod 5 to provide forward assistance to the seat 3; when the seat 3 swings backward, the user can pull the assist rope 6 at the rear end of the connecting rod 5 to increase the backward swing amplitude of the seat 3. This two-way assist rope 6 setting further improves the convenience and effect of the user's self-help play, allowing the user to more easily control the swing's swing and enhance the play experience.
[0044] In some further embodiments, the hinge handle 20 is slidably provided with an abutment plate 8 on the side facing the connecting rod 4, and a sliding post 80 is provided on the side of the abutment plate 8 facing away from the connecting rod 4. The sliding post 80 is provided through the hinge handle 20, and a first nut 81 is screwed onto one side of the sliding post 80 through the hinge handle 20. A first spring is sleeved on the sliding post 80, with one end of the first spring abutting against the hinge handle 20 and the other end abutting against the abutment plate 8.
[0045] In some further embodiments, a friction plate 44 is slidably provided on the side of the connecting rod 4 facing the abutment plate 8, and a first sliding rod 43 is provided on the side of the friction plate 44 facing away from the abutment plate 8. The first sliding rod 43 passes through the connecting rod 4, and a connecting handle 40 is provided at the end of the first sliding rod 43 away from the friction plate 44. A second spring 45 is provided between the connecting handle 40 and the connecting rod 4, and the second spring 45 is sleeved on the first sliding rod 43.
[0046] By tightening or loosening the first nut 81, the abutment plate 8 can be moved away from or closer to the connecting rod 4, thereby adjusting the distance between the abutment plate 8 and the connecting rod 4. Under the action of the second spring 45, there is a certain gap between the friction plate 44 and the abutment plate 8. When the swing swings with a large amplitude and needs to be stopped quickly, the second spring 45 can be compressed by pressing the connecting handle 40 toward the connecting rod 4, so that the friction between the friction plate 44 and the abutment plate 8 can effectively consume the kinetic energy of the swing, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly stopping the swing swing and further enhancing the controllability and safety of the swing.
[0047] In some further embodiments, a second sliding rod 41 is provided at the end of the connecting handle 40 away from the first sliding rod 43. The first sliding rod 43 and the second sliding rod 41 are arranged parallel to each other. The second sliding rod 41 is slidably arranged through the connecting rod 4. A stop handle 42 is provided at the end of the second sliding rod 41 away from the connecting handle 40.
[0048] The second sliding rod 41 is mainly used to make the sliding of the connecting handle 40 smoother.
[0049] The stop handle 42 is used to further limit the connection handle 40.
[0050] In some further embodiments, the seat 3 has a sliding hole inside, and a footrest 7 is slidably mounted in the sliding hole; the side wall of the seat 3 has a sliding groove 30 communicating with the sliding hole, and a limiting rod 32 is provided in the sliding groove 30. One end of the limiting rod 32 is connected to the footrest 7, and the other end is provided with a second nut 31 for limiting the footrest 7.
[0051] Users can adjust the footrest 7's position within the seat 3 by adjusting the second nut 31 on the limiting rod 32, allowing it to slide within the sliding hole according to their height and play habits. Once adjusted to a suitable position, tightening the second nut 31 will fix the footrest 7 in its current position. This adjustable footrest 7 design can meet the needs of different users, allowing them to comfortably place their feet during play, thus improving comfort and overall experience.
[0052] Since there is no need for body movement to assist the seat 3 in swinging, the user's feet can be placed directly on the footrest to prevent them from hitting the ground.
[0053] In some further embodiments, the footrest 7 includes a slide bar 70 and a sliding crossbar 71. The slide bar 70 is slidably disposed in a sliding hole. There are two sets of slide bars 70 and two sets of sliding holes. The two ends of the sliding crossbar 71 are elastically slidably disposed between the two slide bars 70. There are multiple sliding crossbars 71.
[0054] The footrest 7 includes a slide bar 70 and a sliding crossbar 71. The slide bar 70 is slidably disposed in a sliding hole. There are two sets of both the slide bar 70 and the sliding hole to ensure the stability of the footrest 7. The two ends of the sliding crossbar 71 are elastically slidably disposed between the two slide bars 70. There are multiple sliding crossbars 71, usually 2-3, so that the user can comfortably place their feet.
[0055] The sliding of the slide bar 70 in the sliding hole allows for adjustment of the overall position of the footrest 7, so that the user can pedal in the most comfortable position.
[0056] In some further embodiments, the slide bar 70 is provided with a sliding slot 700, and the end of the sliding crossbar 71 is correspondingly slidably disposed in the sliding slot 700; a third spring 701 is provided between two adjacent sliding crossbars 71.
[0057] Since the seat 3 only has sliding holes for the sliding rod 70 to slide, when the footrest 7 needs to be stored, the sliding rod 70 needs to be slid towards the inside of the sliding hole by controlling the limiting rod 32. At this time, multiple sliding crossbars 71 will be squeezed against each other by the force of the front side wall of the seat 3, thereby compressing the third spring 701 to make the multiple sliding crossbars 71 fit together as close as possible to reduce the space occupied. Then, the second nut 31 is quickly tightened to ensure the locking state of the multiple sliding crossbars 71. When the footrest needs to be stepped on, the second nut 31 can be loosened. Under the action of the third spring 701, the multiple sliding crossbars 71 will spread out to ensure support for the feet.
[0058] A decorative panel 21 is provided above the crossbeam 2, which can be decorated with stickers to enhance the fun of the equipment.
[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this application.
