Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement facility technology, specifically to a connection protection device for non-powered amusement facilities. Background Technology

[0002] Large amusement rides are usually constructed from several parts. Adjacent parts need to be connected by connectors, which are located between two parts and achieve a fixed connection between the two parts.

[0003] The connector between the two components is exposed, and tourists may accidentally bump or scratch the exposed connector during their visit. Therefore, the connector needs to be effectively protected.

[0004] In existing technologies, the protection of connectors generally adopts the method of covering with a cover plate. By fastening a metal or plastic cover plate that matches the shape of the connector to the outside of the connector, a physical barrier is formed to isolate external environmental interference. To ensure the reliability of the protection, such covers are usually fixed to the component body by bolt fastening, welding, or strong snap-fit ​​connection.

[0005] However, during the regular maintenance and safety inspection of amusement facilities, it is necessary to open the cover to inspect the tightness, wear and corrosion of the connecting parts. At this time, the fixed cover has obvious defects: bolt-fastened cover requires the bolts to be removed one by one to open, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. 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] For reference as follows Figures 1-6 The present invention will be described as follows: Example: A protective device for the connection point of a non-powered amusement facility includes a cover plate, which comprises a fixed plate 1 and a flip plate 2, the flip plate 2 and the fixed plate 1 being rotatably connected. This connection method allows the flip plate 2 to have the freedom to rotate around the connection point, providing a structural basis for subsequent maintenance operations.

[0028] The fixing plate 1 serves as the base component for fixing the cover plate. A fixing part 3 is provided on the inner side of the fixing plate 1 (i.e., the side facing the amusement facility connector). The fixing part 3 has a connecting hole 4 (the diameter of the connecting hole 4 matches the outer diameter of the fixing rod 5). A fixing rod 5 is connected inside the connecting hole 4 (the fixing rod 5 and the connecting hole 4 form a sliding connection). The fixing rod 5 extends along the length of the cover plate. The fixing rod 5 is not only the core component connecting the fixing part 3, but also serves as the base for the subsequent flip plate 2, providing a support point for the closing and fixing of the flip plate 2. Furthermore, the fixing rod 5 can also provide auxiliary limiting for the connectors between adjacent components of the amusement facility, further improving the structural stability of the connection.

[0029] The fixing plate 1 and the fixing part 3 are integrated and made of plastic. This design avoids gaps between the two during assembly, reduces the number of parts, improves the overall structural strength and assembly efficiency, and the plastic material is lightweight and corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use of non-powered amusement facilities.

[0030] As the movable component of the cover plate, the flip plate 2 is designed around the two core requirements of "easy flipping" and "reliable closure".

[0031] The inner side of the flip plate 2, away from the fixed plate 1, has a protruding snap-fit ​​part 6. The snap-fit ​​part 6 has a snap-fit ​​groove 7, and the fixed rod 5 forms a snap-fit ​​engagement with the snap-fit ​​groove 7. The flip plate 2 and the snap-fit ​​part 6 are integrally set and made of plastic, which can ensure the consistency and adaptability of the overall structure of the cover plate.

[0032] The snap-fit ​​part 6 has a snap-fit ​​groove 7. The size and shape of the snap-fit ​​groove 7 match the outer diameter and cross-sectional shape of the fixing rod 5. When the flip plate 2 rotates around the rotating axis to the closed state, the fixing rod 5 can be inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 7 to form a snap-fit ​​fit. From the perspective of structural fit, the depth of the snap-fit ​​groove 7 must be sufficient to prevent the fixing rod 5 from loosening after being inserted. At the same time, the groove opening must have a certain elastic deformation space (relying on the characteristics of plastic material) to ensure that the fixing rod 5 can be inserted smoothly and has sufficient snap-fit ​​force after being inserted to prevent the flip plate 2 from opening on its own without external force.

[0033] The fixing rod 5 is connected to the connecting hole 4 of the fixing part 3 on the fixing plate 1, fixing the fixing plate 1 at the preset position of the connection of the amusement facility, so that the fixing plate 1 covers part of the connection area; then the flip plate 2 is rotated around the rotation axis towards the fixing rod 5 until the fixing rod 5 is fully embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 7 of the snap-fit ​​part 6 on the flip plate 2, forming a snap-fit ​​fit. At this time, the flip plate 2 and the fixing plate 1 together form a complete cover plate structure, which completely covers the connecting parts of the amusement facility connection, preventing tourists from accidentally touching the connecting parts and realizing the protection function of the connection.

[0034] When it is necessary to inspect or maintain the connector at the connection point, simply apply external force away from the fixed rod 5 to disengage the snap-fit ​​groove 7 on the flip plate 2 from the fixed rod 5. Then rotate the flip plate 2 away from the fixed plate 1 around the rotation axis until the connector is fully exposed, and the maintenance operation can be performed. After the maintenance is completed, rotate the flip plate 2 in the opposite direction to re-engage the snap-fit ​​groove 7 with the fixed rod 5, and the protective state of the cover plate can be restored.

[0035] The cover plate consists of a fixed plate 1 and a flip plate 2. When closed, it can completely cover the fixed rod 5 and the connecting parts at the connection of the amusement facility, forming a physical barrier to effectively block external impurities from corroding the connecting parts. At the same time, it avoids direct contact between tourists and the connecting parts, reduces safety risks, and meets the basic requirements for the protection of the connection points of non-powered amusement facilities.

[0036] Compared to the fixedly connected cover plates in the prior art, this device uses a rotating connection between the flip plate 2 and the fixed plate 1, enabling the flip plate 2 to be flipped open. This allows the connecting parts to be exposed without disassembling the entire cover plate, reducing preparation work before maintenance. At the same time, the flip plate 2 forms a snap-fit ​​engagement with the fixed rod 5 through the snap-fit ​​groove 7. When opening, only external force needs to be applied to disengage the snap-fit ​​engagement, and when closing, only the snap-fit ​​groove 7 needs to be aligned with the fixed rod 5 to be inserted. The operation steps are simple, no additional tools are required, and maintenance time is greatly shortened, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0037] The fixing plate 1 and fixing part 3, as well as the flip plate 2 and snap-fit ​​part 6, are all integrally molded from plastic material. This not only reduces the assembly gap between parts and lowers the risk of loosening, but also improves the overall structural resistance to deformation. At the same time, the choice of plastic material takes into account both lightweight and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for the long-term outdoor use of non-powered amusement facilities. Furthermore, the overall structural design does not alter the original connection structure of the amusement facility, giving it strong installation adaptability and making it applicable to different types of non-powered amusement facility connection points.

[0038] Two fixing parts 3 are provided, spaced apart in the width direction of the cover plate. Each fixing part 3 has a fixing rod 5 connected to its connecting hole 4. The flip plate 2 has a snap-fit ​​part 6 corresponding to the fixing rod 5. This technical solution results in a more stable structure. The design of double fixing parts and double connecting holes transforms the force on one fixing rod 5 into the force on two fixing rods 5, preventing tilting or deformation due to force on a single fixing rod 5, thereby enhancing the assembly firmness of the connection between the cover plate and the amusement facility.

[0039] The flip plate 2 and the fixed plate 1 are rotatably connected by a hinge 8. The hinge 8 consists of a leaf and a pivot. One leaf is connected to the fixed plate 1, and the other leaf is connected to the flip plate 2. The relative rotation between the two is achieved by the pivot.

[0040] The end of the flip plate 2 furthest from the fixed plate 1 has an operating hole 9 that extends through both its inner and outer sides. A finger is inserted into the operating hole 9 to pull the flip plate 2 and rotate it open. The shape of the operating hole 9 can be circular, square, or oval, and its diameter (or side length) must be large enough to allow an adult or maintenance personnel to insert their fingers (usually the index or middle finger). The operating hole 9 must be positioned at the edge of the end of the flip plate 2 to ensure sufficient pulling or pushing force can be applied after a finger is inserted, driving the flip plate 2 to rotate around the hinge 8.

[0041] When it is necessary to open the flip plate 2, the maintenance personnel insert their fingers into the operating hole 9 and apply a pulling force away from the fixing rod 5 to disengage the locking groove 7 from the fixing rod 5. Then, continue to apply the pulling force to rotate the flip plate 2 around the hinge 8 until the flip plate 2 is fully opened. When it is necessary to close the flip plate 2, push the flip plate 2 towards the fixing rod 5 until the locking groove 7 engages with the fixing rod 5.

[0042] Fixed plates 1 are connected to both ends of the fixed rod 5. A flip plate 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 1, and the flip plate 2 is located between the two fixed plates 1.

[0043] The end of the fixing rod 5 is connected to a limiting member 10 that restricts the movement of the fixing part 3 towards the end of the fixing rod 5. The limiting member 10 is a nut that is threadedly connected to the fixing rod 5 (the end of the fixing rod 5 needs to be machined with external threads, and the internal threads of the nut match the external threads of the fixing rod 5, so that the nut and the fixing rod 5 are fixed through the threaded connection). After the fixing rod 5 is inserted into the connecting hole 4 of the fixing part 3, the nut is screwed into the end of the fixing rod 5 until the nut is in contact with the outer surface of the fixing part 3. At this time, the nut forms an axial limit on the fixing part 3, preventing the fixing part 3 (and the fixing plate 1 integral with it) from moving towards the end of the fixing rod 5 along the axial direction and from coming off the fixing rod 5, ensuring that the connection between the fixing rod 5 and the fixing plate 1 remains stable, and avoiding the failure of the cover plate due to the fixing part 3 coming off.

[0044] Both the flip plate 2 and the fixing plate 1 are provided with grooves for installing the hinge 8. The size of the groove is adapted to the shape of the hinge 8 (the depth is equal to the thickness of the hinge 8, and the width is equal to the length of the hinge 8). When the hinge 8 is installed in the groove, the outer surface of the hinge 8 is flush with the surface of the flip plate 2 and the fixing plate 1, avoiding the hinge 8 from protruding, reducing the risk of bumping or knocking when tourists come into contact with the hinge 8, and improving the safety of use.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
