AI Technical Summary
Existing drive systems for pirate ships and flying cars are inefficient and difficult to control, especially friction-driven tire systems, which are inefficient and lack precise control.
The system employs two symmetrically spaced friction tracks, with geared motor-driven solid friction tires mounted on the traveling frame. The hull is moved via the friction tracks, and the friction force is adjusted by a clamping spring, achieving efficient and precise control.
It improves drive efficiency and control precision, ensuring stable back-and-forth movement of the hull.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of the amusement industry, and in particular relates to a friction drive mechanism for a pirate ship. Background Technology
[0002] A track-based pirate ship is an amusement ride that simulates the sailing of a pirate ship. It is usually shaped like a large ship, and passengers sit on the ship and move up and down with the swaying of the hull and the design of the track, giving people the feeling of swaying with the wind on the sea.
[0003] A roller coaster is a type of ride that allows riders to "fly" through the air. Unlike traditional roller coasters, roller coaster seats hold riders in a "lying" or "flying" position, simulating the feeling of flight. A roller coaster not only offers the speed and twists of a roller coaster but also provides a similar sense of freedom and speed as flying.
[0004] In the amusement park industry, conventional track-based pirate ships or roller coasters typically use a geared motor fixed to the base to drive friction tires. These tires rub against curved friction plates on the bottom of the hull to propel the entire ship back and forth. This method is inefficient and not very convenient to control. Therefore, this application proposes a friction drive mechanism for pirate ships. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a friction drive mechanism for pirate ships to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pirate ship friction drive mechanism, comprising two friction tracks, the two friction tracks being symmetrically spaced apart, a traveling frame being provided above the two friction tracks, two solid friction tires being symmetrically arranged between the traveling frame and the two friction tracks, two reduction motors being symmetrically arranged below the traveling frame, and the two solid friction tires being respectively mounted on the output shafts of the two reduction motors.
[0007] Preferably, the geared motor is provided with a fixed frame on its exterior, and a transmission sleeve pin is connected between the fixed frame and the traveling frame.
[0008] Preferably, a clamping adjustment spring is provided between the fixed frame and the traveling frame.
[0009] Preferably, four sets of walking wheel assemblies are symmetrically arranged between the bottom surface of the walking frame and the two friction tracks.
[0010] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: This utility model provides a friction drive mechanism for a pirate ship. The mechanism mounts two identical geared motors on a mobile frame that carries the ship's hull. The solid friction tires mounted on the output shaft of the geared motors rub against an arc-shaped friction track, thereby driving the entire ship to move back and forth. This method is not only highly efficient but also has high control precision. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Example
[0014] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pirate ship friction drive mechanism, including two friction tracks 6. Specifically, the friction tracks 6 are arranged in an arc shape and are symmetrically spaced apart. A traveling frame 4 is provided above the two friction tracks 6. Specifically, the traveling frame 4 is mounted on the hull. Two solid friction tires 2 are symmetrically arranged between the traveling frame 4 and the two friction tracks 6. Two reduction motors 1 are symmetrically arranged below the traveling frame 4. Specifically, the two reduction motors 1 are of the same specification, and the two solid friction tires 2 are respectively mounted on the output shafts of the two reduction motors 1.
[0015] Furthermore, the geared motor 1 is provided with a fixed frame 7 on its exterior. The fixed frame 7 is fixedly connected to the geared motor 1, and a transmission sleeve pin 8 is connected between the fixed frame 7 and the traveling frame 4. Specifically, the transmission sleeve pin 8 is rotatably connected to the traveling frame 4, and the fixed frame 7 is fixedly connected to the transmission sleeve pin 8.
[0016] Furthermore, a clamping adjustment spring 3 is provided between the fixed frame 7 and the traveling frame 4. Specifically, the clamping adjustment spring 3 is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 7 and the traveling frame 4. By adjusting the clamping adjustment spring 3, the appropriate clamping degree between the friction solid tire 2 and the friction track 6 is adjusted to ensure that the equipment can obtain the maximum frictional driving force.
[0017] Furthermore, four sets of walking wheel assemblies 5 are symmetrically arranged between the bottom surface of the walking frame 4 and the two friction tracks 6. Specifically, the walking wheel assemblies 5 are mounted on the friction tracks 6.
[0018] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: After the utility model is installed and the program is started, the two reduction motors 1 start to work together to drive the friction solid tires 2 to rotate and rub along the friction track 6, generating sufficient thrust to drive the entire walking frame 4 together with the hull to move back and forth along the friction track 6 under the coordinated control of the relevant program and limit switches.
