Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a positioning device, and more particularly to a four-wheel positioning device for steel wire ropes. This utility model is applicable to the guiding and positioning device for steel wire ropes in amusement facilities. Background Technology
[0002] In projectile-type amusement rides, steel wire ropes are typically used to guide and position the projectile. The wire rope passes through positioning holes in the projectile, limiting its movement along the rope's direction. The main drawback of this structure is the significant friction between the wire rope and the positioning holes in the projectile. This results in substantial energy loss and noise during the projectile's movement, and also causes significant wear and tear on both the wire rope and the positioning holes, shortening the product's lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a wire rope four-wheel positioning device that reduces friction between the wire rope and the launcher, minimizes energy loss during launch, reduces noise, minimizes wear on the wire rope and positioning holes, and extends service life.
[0004] The technical solution for realizing this utility model is as follows: A four-wheeled wire rope positioning device is characterized by comprising a positioning body, rollers, and a guide tube. The positioning body has a central hole and is composed of a left body and a right body fixedly connected by a screw and a nut. The rollers are cylindrical rollers, and the guide tube is composed of a steel pipe with a radial shoulder at its upper end. There are four cylindrical rollers, which are respectively installed in four roller grooves at the upper end of the positioning body by fixing pins. Each cylindrical roller has a central hole that dynamically engages with the outer cylindrical surface of the fixing pin. The four fixing pins form a square structure. A radial mounting groove is provided in the center of the central hole of the positioning body, and the radial shoulder of the guide tube is embedded in the radial mounting groove. The outer cylindrical surface of the guide tube is tightly engaged with the central hole of the positioning body. The wire rope passes through the central hole of the positioning sleeve and rolls with the outer cylindrical surfaces of the four cylindrical rollers.
[0005] The preferred option is that the radial mounting groove adopts a square structure, and the outer periphery of the radial shoulder of the guide tube adopts a square structure that cooperates with the radial mounting groove.
[0006] The preferred option is that the positioning body is composed of a symmetrical left and right body spliced together, and the cross-section of the positioning body perpendicular to the center line of the central hole is a square plane.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the use of four rollers in conjunction with the rolling of the steel wire rope to guide and position the projectile reduces the friction between the steel wire rope and the positioner, resulting in less energy loss, lower noise, and longer service life of the projectile.

[0011] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The wire rope four-wheel positioning device shown is characterized by comprising a positioning body 1, rollers 2, and a guide tube. The positioning body 1 consists of a left body and a right body fixedly connected by a screw 5 and a nut 8. The positioning body 1 has a central hole. The rollers 2 are cylindrical rollers. The guide tube is composed of a steel pipe 3 with a radial shoulder 9 at its upper end. There are four cylindrical rollers, which are respectively installed in four roller grooves 7 at the upper end of the positioning body 1 by fixing pins 6. Each cylindrical roller has a central hole that dynamically engages with the outer cylindrical surface of the fixing pin 6, allowing the cylindrical roller to rotate around the fixing pin 6 within the roller groove 7. Four fixing pins 6 form a square structure, so that the inner cylindrical surfaces of the four cylindrical rollers and the outer cylindrical surface of the steel wire rope 4 maintain uniform rolling pressure; the center hole of the positioning body 1 is provided with a radial mounting groove 10, the radial shoulder 9 of the guide tube is embedded in the radial mounting groove 10, the outer cylindrical surface of the steel pipe 3 is tightly fitted with the center hole of the positioning body 1, the steel wire rope 4 passes through the center hole of the positioning body 1 and rolls with the outer cylindrical surfaces of the four cylindrical rollers, the lower end of the outer cylindrical surface of the steel pipe 3 extends out of the lower end face of the positioning body 1 and is fixedly connected to the guide hole of the catapult, thus fixing the positioning body 1 on the catapult.
[0012] The radial mounting groove 10 adopts a square structure, and the outer periphery of the radial shoulder 9 at the upper end of the guide tube adopts a square structure that cooperates with the radial mounting groove 10, which can prevent the guide tube from rotating in the center hole of the positioning body 1.
[0013] The positioning body 1 is composed of a symmetrical left body and a right body spliced together. The cross section of the positioning body 1 perpendicular to the center line of the central hole is a square plane.
[0014] The directional terms such as "upper end" and "lower end" used in this utility model are for the purpose of describing the directions shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
