[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment, specifically to a kayak slalom starting platform. Background Technology
[0002] As a sport, canoe slalom requires athletes to navigate or bypass designated obstacles within a designated course to reach the finish line, with the athlete having the fewest points deducted winning.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN 223161956 U discloses an extreme kayak starting platform, including a fixed platform. The fixed platform has a mounting bracket at its bottom and a tilting bracket at its top. A tilting platform is hinged above the tilting bracket and extends outwards beyond the fixed platform. The tilting platform and the fixed platform are connected by a first telescopic cylinder, one end of which is hinged to the tilting bracket, and the other end to the bottom of the tilting platform. A downwardly inclined fixed ramp is mounted on the side of the fixed platform, located below the tilting platform and extending outwards beyond it. Because the tilting platform and the ramp of this starting platform are driven by independent cylinders, this structure is prone to time differences and malfunctions, and the initial speed at the start is slow. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a kayak slalom extreme starting platform.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a kayak slalom extreme starting platform, including a support platform, a maintenance platform on one side of the support platform, a rotatable flipping platform on the top of the support platform, the flipping platform extending beyond the support platform, and a rope pulling machine for controlling the flipping platform to flip, the rope pulling machine including a motor and a steel wire rope, wherein the two ends of the steel wire rope are connected to the flipping platform, and the two ends of the steel wire rope are distributed front and back on the flipping platform so that the motor can drive the flipping platform to flip when it is working.
[0006] Preferably, the outer end of the flipping platform of the present invention is hinged with a baffle, and the lower end of the flipping platform is provided with a reset spring push rod for driving the baffle to be fixed. One end of the reset spring push rod is connected to the lower end of the baffle, and the other end of the reset spring push rod is connected to the flipping platform.
[0007] Preferably, the tilting platform of this utility model is further provided with a steel wire traction rope for traction baffle below it. The steel wire traction rope passes around the pulley, one end of which is connected to the lower end of the baffle, and the other end of the steel wire traction rope is connected to the lower end of the tilting platform.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the flipping platform of this utility model is also provided with a guide wheel for the steel wire traction rope to pass around.
[0009] Preferably, the flipping platform of this utility model is provided with multiple mounting parts for fixing the steel wire rope, and the two ends of the steel wire rope are respectively connected to the mounting parts.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the maintenance platform of this utility model is provided with an extension plate.
[0011] Preferably, the support platform of this utility model is provided with a spray system that sprays water toward the tilting platform.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: 1. This utility model uses a rope-pulling mechanism to control the tilting frame, resulting in a faster instantaneous launch speed for the kayak compared to existing cylinder-driven systems, thus achieving the goal of rapid departure. 2. The baffle of this utility model does not require independent power drive. When the tilting platform tilts down, the traction steel wire rope pulls the baffle down and compresses the reset spring push rod at the same time. When the tilting platform returns to its original position, the traction steel wire rope loosens, and the compressed spring releases its elasticity to drive the baffle to reset upward, thereby avoiding the time difference and malfunction caused by independent power.
