An Adaptive Suspension System for a Ferris Wheel Pod

Abstract

The invention discloses a sky wheel pod suspension self-adaptation system. The system comprises a rotary table hanging bracket mounted on a round sky wheel rotary table. A plurality of cylindrical pods which are transversely placed are evenly mounted on the rotary table hanging bracket in the circumferential direction. Each pod comprises a pod outer ring and a pod inner ring which is used as a pod cylinder framework. The pod outer rings are fixedly connected with the rotary table hanging bracket. The pod inner rings are arranged in the pod outer rings and separated from the pod outer rings, and a suspension device is arranged between each pod outer ring and the corresponding pod inner ring. A non-magnet-conductive intermediate ring is arranged on the outer wall of each pod inner ring in a sleeving mode. Each suspension device comprises an annular inner ring suspension track fixed to the corresponding intermediate ring and an annular outer ring suspension track fixed to the corresponding pod outer ring. After each inner ring suspension track is arranged in the corresponding outer ring suspension track in a non-contact mode, suspension acting force is formed between each inner ring suspension track and the corresponding outer ring suspension track. The sky wheel pod suspension self-adaptation system is simpler and more reasonable in structure, lower in production and using cost and convenient to maintain.

Description

[0001] 【Technical field】 [0002] The invention relates to an amusement device, especially a ferris wheel. [0003] 【Background technique】 [0004] The Ferris wheel is one of the most tourist-attracting amusement facilities in the entertainment industry. It is developing rapidly and is developing in the direction of a super-large wheel diameter of more than 120 meters, a large passenger flow, a panoramic view, and a comfortable ride. [0005] The pod structure of the Ferris wheel is the most widely used in the gravity type and observation type. Among them: the gravity-type pod and the turntable are connected through the rotating shaft. When the Ferris wheel rotates, the self-weight of the pod and the live-loaded passengers makes the pod rotate around the rotating shaft to realize synchronous rotation with the large turntable of the Ferris wheel. The pod of the gravity structure is usually a cuboid; the pod of the viewing structure is divided into an inner ring, the outer ring ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the ferris wheel with a viewing structure has a complex structure of the pod. Considering the design of the drive system, the complexity of the power supply system, the power supply of the entire pod drive system, cumbersome maintenance, and high cost, the rotation of the pod is driven by the drive system. , when the power supply system fails or fails and the drive system fails, the pod will stop rotating, so that the drive system cannot drive the pod to be straight, and it cannot ensure that passengers are standing vertically in the pod, which has a great potential safety hazard

Furthermore, when a fault occurs, since the pod cannot be adjusted, it is not convenient for rescue
