Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement park track vehicle technology, and in particular to a purely mechanical guiding device for amusement park track vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] The zipline amusement ride is a track-based amusement device that operates on a spiral track. It is driven by two transmission units, one at the front and one at the rear, moving the train along the track. The track modeling technology employs cubic spline curve fitting and quaternion spline interpolation, and the track parameters are adjusted using MATLAB / VB hybrid programming software. In the amusement ride's operating system, the guiding device is the core component ensuring the vehicle's stable movement along the track; its performance directly affects the equipment's safety, comfort, and lifespan.

[0003] Existing purely mechanical guiding devices for amusement rides mostly rely on the interaction between guide wheels and track guide surfaces to achieve steering constraints. Guide wheels are typically assembled to the vehicle frame using fixed bushings and rigid bolt connections. While this structure meets basic guiding requirements, long-term use leads to wear and aging due to continuous contact and friction between the guide wheels and track guide surfaces, necessitating periodic replacement or maintenance. Current assembly methods often require disassembling multiple fastening components (such as axle end plates and lock nuts), and some connection points are obstructed by the vehicle structure, resulting in limited operating space. This makes the disassembly and installation of guide wheels cumbersome and time-consuming, increasing the workload of maintenance personnel and potentially causing secondary damage to surrounding components due to frequent disassembly and assembly. Furthermore, amusement ride operations typically have strict time constraints for equipment maintenance; the inconvenience of guide wheel replacement prolongs equipment downtime, affecting operational efficiency. Additionally, improper assembly precision control during disassembly and assembly (such as wheel axle perpendicularity deviation or uneven preload) can lead to decreased guiding performance and increased safety hazards. Therefore, this invention proposes a purely mechanical guiding device for amusement rides to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a purely mechanical guiding device for amusement park track vehicles, which solves the problem of inconvenient disassembly and installation of guide wheels in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the purpose of this utility model, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a purely mechanical guiding device for amusement track vehicles, including a mounting plate, connecting plates installed on both sides of the bottom end of the mounting plate, a connecting rod installed below the connecting plate, a side plate installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod, a buffer mechanism provided on the inner side of the side plate, a movable plate installed at one end of the buffer mechanism, a mounting mechanism provided on the inner side of the movable plate, a guide wheel frame installed at one end of the mounting mechanism, and a guide wheel rotatably installed on the inner side of the guide wheel frame; The installation mechanism includes an installation cavity, an installation groove, a connecting block, a positioning hole, and a positioning pin. The installation cavity is installed on the inner side of the movable plate. The installation cavity has an installation groove inside. The installation groove has a connecting block inside. The connecting block has a positioning hole inside. The positioning hole has a positioning pin inside.

[0006] A further improvement is that the mounting groove and the connecting block are mutually adapted, and the mounting groove and the connecting block form a locking structure.

[0007] A further improvement is made in that: the buffer mechanism includes a damper, a telescopic spring, a fixing hole, a movable rod, a positioning plate, and a return spring. The damper is installed on the inner side of the side plate, and a telescopic spring is provided on the outer side wall of the damper. The other end of the damper is connected to one end of the movable plate. Fixing holes are provided through both ends of the side plate, and a movable rod is provided through the inside of the fixing holes. A positioning plate is installed on one end of the movable rod, and the other end of the movable rod is connected to one end of the movable plate. A return spring is provided on the outer side wall of the movable rod, and the return spring is located between the side plate and the movable plate.

[0008] A further improvement is that the cross-section of the fixed hole is larger than the cross-section of the movable rod, and the fixed hole and the movable rod form a sliding structure.

[0009] A further improvement is that two movable rods are provided at one end of the movable plate, and the two movable rods are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the movable plate.

[0010] A further improvement is that a fixing bolt is installed at the bottom of the connecting plate, which allows the connecting plate to be disassembled and installed.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By providing an installation mechanism on the inner side of the movable plate, the guide wheel can be conveniently installed and disassembled through the cooperation of the installation cavity, installation groove, connecting block, positioning hole, and positioning pin of the installation mechanism. This reduces the number of disassembly and assembly steps and time, reduces the workload of maintenance personnel, avoids damage to surrounding components caused by frequent operation, shortens equipment downtime, improves operational efficiency, ensures assembly accuracy, ensures stable guiding performance, and reduces safety hazards. By providing a buffer mechanism on the inner side of the side plate, the damper, telescopic spring, fixing hole, movable rod, positioning plate, and return spring can effectively buffer the lateral impact force between the guide wheel and the track, reduce wear and noise caused by rigid collisions, extend the service life of the guide wheel and the track, and compensate for minor track errors, ensuring that the guide wheel always fits the track, improving vehicle driving stability, and reducing safety hazards caused by vibration.

[0014] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0015] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment proposes a purely mechanical guiding device for amusement park track vehicles, including a mounting plate 1. Connecting plates 2 are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the mounting plate 1. A connecting rod 4 is installed below the connecting plate 2. A side plate 5 is installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod 4. A buffer mechanism is provided on the inner side of the side plate 5.

A guide wheel frame 7 is installed at one end of the installation mechanism. A guide wheel 8 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the guide wheel frame 7.

[0016] The installation mechanism includes an installation cavity 15, an installation groove 16, a connecting block 17, a positioning hole 18, and a positioning pin 19. The installation cavity 15 is installed inside the movable plate 6. The installation groove 16 is formed inside the installation cavity 15. The connecting block 17 is provided inside the installation groove 16. The positioning hole 18 is provided inside the connecting block 17. The positioning pin 19 is provided inside the positioning hole 18. The installation groove 16 and the connecting block 17 are mutually adapted to each other, forming a locking structure. When the guide wheel 8 needs to be replaced after long-term use, the operator will use the positioning pin 19. Pin 19 is removed from inside the positioning hole 18, then connecting block 17 is removed from inside the mounting cavity 15, guide wheel 8 is removed, then a new guide wheel 8 is removed, connecting block 17 is placed inside the mounting groove 16, and finally positioning pin 19 is inserted into the positioning hole 18 to fix the position of guide wheel 8. This allows for convenient installation and removal of guide wheel 8, reducing disassembly and assembly steps and time, reducing the workload of maintenance personnel, avoiding damage to surrounding components from frequent operations, shortening equipment downtime, improving operational efficiency, ensuring assembly accuracy, ensuring stable guiding performance, and reducing safety hazards.

[0017] The buffer mechanism includes a damper 9, a telescopic spring 10, a fixing hole 11, a movable rod 12, a positioning plate 13, and a return spring 14. The damper 9 is installed on the inner side of the side plate 5. The telescopic spring 10 is provided on the outer side wall of the damper 9. The other end of the damper 9 is connected to one end of the movable plate 6. Fixing holes 11 are provided through both ends of the side plate 5. The movable rod 12 is provided through the interior of the fixing holes 11. The positioning plate 13 is installed on one end of the movable rod 12. The other end of the movable rod 12 is connected to one end of the movable plate 6. The return spring 14 is provided on the outer side wall of the movable rod 12. The return spring 14 is located between the side plate 5 and the movable plate 6. The cross-section of the fixing hole 11 is larger than the cross-section of the movable rod 12. The fixing hole 11 and the movable rod 12 form a sliding structure. 2. Two movable rods 12 are provided at one end of the movable plate 6. The two movable rods 12 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the movable plate 6. In use, the guide wheel 8 guides the amusement track vehicle when it is moving. When the amusement track vehicle turns, the track squeezes the guide wheel frame 7 and the guide wheel 8 to move. At this time, the telescopic spring 10 is subjected to elastic force, which drives the movable plate 6 to move with the cooperation of the damper 9. At the same time, the return spring 14 is also subjected to elastic force. Under the limitation of the fixing hole 11 and the movable rod 12, it drives the guide wheel 8 to telescopically move. This can effectively buffer the lateral impact force between the guide wheel 8 and the track, reduce the wear and noise caused by rigid collision, extend the service life of the guide wheel 8 and the track, and compensate for small track errors. It can also ensure that the guide wheel 8 always fits the track, improve the vehicle's driving stability, and reduce safety hazards caused by vibration.

[0018] The bottom end of the connecting plate 2 is equipped with a fixing bolt 3, which allows the connecting plate 2 to be disassembled and installed, making the side plate 5 easier and faster to install.

[0019] Working principle: The guide wheel 8 guides the amusement track vehicle during its movement. When the amusement track vehicle turns, the track squeezes the guide wheel frame 7 and the guide wheel 8 to move. At this time, the telescopic spring 10 is subjected to elastic force, which, with the cooperation of the damper 9, drives the movable plate 6 to move. At the same time, the return spring 14 is also subjected to elastic force. Under the limitation of the fixed hole 11 and the movable rod 12, it drives the guide wheel 8 to telescopically move, reducing the rigid collision between the guide wheel 8 and the track, thus improving the guiding effect of the guide wheel 8. When the guide wheel 8 needs to be replaced after long-term use, the operator removes the positioning pin 19 from the inside of the positioning hole 18, then removes the connecting block 17 from the inside of the mounting cavity 15, removes the guide wheel 8, then takes out the new guide wheel 8, places the connecting block 17 into the inside of the mounting groove 16, and finally inserts the positioning pin 19 into the inside of the positioning hole 18 to fix the position of the guide wheel 8.
