Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement equipment technology, specifically a rotating and lifting amusement equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Rotating and lifting amusement rides are popular with visitors because they provide a combination of rotation and lifting motions, and are one of the most common types of equipment in amusement parks.

[0003] Currently, the common structure of this type of equipment is a rotatable base with a cabin connected to it via a swing arm. To enhance the thrill, some equipment rigidly fixes the cabin to the end of the swing arm. When the swing arm rises or falls, the cabin tilts noticeably. While this provides a certain thrill, this forced tilt is unsuitable for visitors of all ages, especially children and the elderly, who may experience a poor experience or even discomfort.

[0004] To address the cabin tilting issue, another design involves hinged connections between the cabin and the end of the swing arm, theoretically allowing it to maintain its self-weight balance during ascent and descent. However, in actual operation, due to inertia and external forces, the cabin can sway uncontrollably around the hinge point. This reduces ride comfort and stability, poses safety hazards, and negatively impacts the visitor experience.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a rotating and lifting amusement device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a rotating and lifting amusement device includes a base 7. A rotating frame 4 is rotatably connected to the middle of the base 7 via a slewing bearing. The rotating frame 4 is driven to rotate by a motor 14. Multiple lifting arms 5 are hinged to the rotating frame 4 along its circumference. A cabin 6 is hinged to the end of each lifting arm 5 away from the rotating frame 4. A first hydraulic cylinder 3 is provided between the lifting arm 5 and the rotating frame 4. The first hydraulic cylinder 3 acts on the lifting arm 5 to drive the cabin 6 to rise and fall. A connecting rod 11 is provided above the lifting arm 5. One end of the connecting rod 11 is hinged to the rotating frame 4, and the other end of the connecting rod 11 is hinged to the cabin 6. Specifically, one end of the first hydraulic cylinder 3 is hinged to the rotating frame 4, and the other end of the first hydraulic cylinder 3 is hinged to the lifting arm 5. A gear 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating frame 4. The motor 14 is fixedly connected to the base 7, and a gear 12 that meshes with the gear 13 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 14.

[0021] In use, the rotating frame 4 is driven to rotate by the motor 14, and the lifting arm 5 is driven to rise and fall by the first hydraulic cylinder 3, so that the cabin 6 rises and falls up and down during the rotation to enhance the playing experience; during the rise and fall of the cabin 6, the connecting rod 11 can assist in positioning the cabin 6 to prevent it from swinging due to inertia, thereby improving the stability of the cabin 6.

[0022] In some embodiments, the lifting arm 5 and the connecting rod 11 are parallel to each other, and the distance between the hinge points at both ends of the connecting rod 11 is the same as the distance between the hinge points at both ends of the lifting arm 5. By using a lifting arm 5 and a connecting rod 11 that are parallel to each other and have the same distance between their hinge points, the swaying of the cabin 6 during the up-and-down movement is avoided.

[0023] A main trunk 1 is fixedly connected to the top center of the rotating frame 4. Multiple layers of branches 2 are evenly fixedly connected to the main trunk 1 along its circumference. Side branches 15 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 11. In use, leaves, light strips, and other decorations are installed on the branches 2 and side branches 15 to enhance the equipment's aesthetics, attractiveness, thematic appeal, and nighttime visibility, thereby improving the overall play experience. Specifically, the length of the multiple layers of branches 2 increases sequentially from top to bottom. By setting different branch lengths, the overall structure better conforms to the shape of a Christmas tree, enhancing the equipment's aesthetics.

[0024] In some embodiments, an end plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the main frame 1, and the end plate 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 4 by bolts 17. During disassembly, the main frame 1 is removed by unscrewing the bolts 17 to reduce the height of the equipment.

[0025] To facilitate the installation of the main frame 1, its bottom end is hinged to the rotating frame 4 via a hinge seat 9. The main frame 1 is driven to rise and fall by a second hydraulic cylinder 8. One end of the second hydraulic cylinder 8 is detachably connected to the main frame 1, and the other end is detachably connected to the base 7. When disassembling the main frame 1, the two ends of the second hydraulic cylinder 8 are connected to the pin seats on the main frame 1 and the base 7 respectively via pins. Then, the bolts 17 are unscrewed, and the second hydraulic cylinder 8 retracts, driving the main frame 1 to gradually tilt to a horizontal position. When installing the main frame 1, the second hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the main frame 1 to rotate to a vertical position. The end plate 16 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 4 via bolts 17. Then, the second hydraulic cylinder 8 is removed to avoid interfering with the rotation of the equipment.

[0026] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
