Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement park equipment technology, specifically to a rocking horse for amusement parks with a steering function. Background Technology
[0002] Rocking horses, a classic children's amusement facility, are widely used in playgrounds, parks, kindergartens, and homes due to their simple structure and ease of operation, and are loved by children. Traditional rocking horses typically consist of a horse-shaped body and a supporting structure at the bottom. Their core function is to rock back and forth up and down or back and forth by the child's own rocking or with the help of elastic components (such as springs), providing children with a basic amusement experience.
[0003] Existing technology includes a spring-loaded rocking horse, as disclosed in patent application number CN202420945920.X, which aims to improve the load-bearing capacity, reset performance, and safety of children's toys to prevent tipping accidents. This spring-loaded rocking horse includes a pony body, a chassis, and supporting springs. The overall design optimizes the mechanical layout, uses high-quality materials, and enhances durability and safety, making it suitable for use in homes and public places, providing children with a safe and stable playground facility. However, this technical solution only allows for a single rocking motion and cannot perform turning operations, resulting in a lack of directional interaction and variation for children during play. Long-term use may lead to a decrease in interest and fail to meet children's needs for novelty and exploration in playground facilities. Therefore, we propose a playground rocking horse with a turning function. Utility Model Content
