Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a slide constructed in an entertainment facility so that the pool water of a leisure pool flows down the slide along with the flowing water. The object of the present invention is to provide a discontinuous part in the downhill path for people to slide down with the flowing water, and to provide a slide that utilizes water flow, which is formed so that a person can slide downhill in a variety of ways at the discontinuous part.

(Prior Art) A slide using water flow in a conventional example is formed by providing a slideway that gently curves from above to below, supported by a frame constructed of a plurality of base pillars. The slideway is made of a transparent or opaque synthetic resin material, and is formed into a straight or curved cylinder with a pipe diameter of about 1.3 meters and a wall thickness of 3 to 20 mm, and the straight and curved cylinders are formed with flanges. They are connected in the axial direction by coupling to form a continuous long spiral cylinder, and this continuous long cylinder is formed with a gentle inclination angle, for example, from 6 degrees to 8 degrees. This slide has an exit of the slide projecting into the leisure pool, and also guides the pool water of the leisure pool to the entrance of the slide and discharges it into the slide. It is formed to descend on the road surface.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) In conventional slides that utilize water flow, the slideway is formed of a single continuous cylindrical body, so it is difficult to adjust the slope of a part of the slideway or to make turns. Although it is possible to enjoy downhill skiing that changes depending on the size of the curvature at the curved part of the downhill slope, since the changes are fixed, there is the inherent problem that the downhill slope becomes monotonous and boring as you repeat the downhill slope. There is.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention has a sliding surface that tilts while rotating from above to downward, supported by a frame constructed of multiple base pillars, and a system that supplies running water to the sliding surface. In a slide that uses water flow and has a slideway with a cylindrical or U-shaped cross section, the slideway is formed by one continuous cylindrical body at one or more locations. The above-mentioned problems can be solved by creating a discontinuous part with a part missing, and by creating a height difference in the runway and a space where no runway exists in the discontinuous part, and creating a sudden change in the runway. The purpose of this invention is to provide a slide using water flow that solves the problem.

(Function) In a slide path that utilizes water flow, at the contact area between the open ends, the slider jumps over the space of the discontinuity and slides down the slide. In addition, at the open end drop section, skiers jump down the space with steps and slide down. In addition, the eccentrically expanding aperture provides a psychological sense of security as it flies through the air. Therefore, downhill skiers can enjoy an extremely varied downhill experience.

(Example) This invention will be explained in detail based on the illustrated example.

FIG. 1 is an overall view of a slide using water flow according to this invention. 1 in the figure is the platform,
2 is a lifting equipment, 3 is a slideway, 4 is a base pillar, 5 is a pool, 6 is a connecting part between the opening ends of the slideway 3, 11
is an upstream open end, and 12 is a downstream open end. In the slide that utilizes water flow, a skier ascends to the upper level of the platform using the lifting equipment 2, enters the slideway 3 from the slideway entrance 9 that opens at the upper level of the platform 1 while sitting down, and goes to the pool 5. The pool water introduced from the slideway 3 is flown and the water slides on the inner surface of the slideway 3 with a sufficient amount of flowing water, and the slider jumps over the space at the space between the openings of the slideway 3 and at the step 7 at the opening end, and slides down the slideway. This is a leisure facility where you can jump out from the exit 10 of the slideway 3 into the pool 5 and enjoy it. The downhill path 3 is formed of a hollow cylindrical body as shown in FIG. 2, or is formed of an open channel body having a U-shaped cross section as shown in FIG. The slideway 3 is formed of a transparent or opaque synthetic resin material, such as fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) material, polycarbonate (PC) material, or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. Further, the downhill path 3 is formed with opening end spacer spacing portions 6 provided at one or more locations, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The opening end spacing part 6 is formed by removing part of the wall thickness of the downhill slide 3 on the same axis to form an upstream opening end 11 and a downstream opening end 12 that face each other and are separated from each other, and the spacing is inclined. It is formed to a length of about 0.1m to 2m, taking into account the angle and downhill speed. It is desirable that the opening end spacing section 6 be formed at a location with a gentle slope. A safety net 13 is provided in the opening end spacing section 6 spanning the upstream opening end 11 and the downstream opening end 12. In addition, a water discharge hole 14 for discharging water to the downstream side is provided near the downstream opening end 12, and a water collection device 15 is provided for receiving the running water discharged from the upstream opening end 11 and discharging it into the pool 5. . Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the downhill path 3 is formed with an open end stepped portion 7. The opening end stepped portion 7 provides a spacing between the upstream opening end 11 and the downstream opening end 12, and also provides a distance between the axis of the upstream opening 11 and the downstream opening end 1.
A height difference is provided in the axis line of 2 so that the downstream opening end 12 is located at a sufficiently lower position than the upstream opening end 11. This opening end stepped portion 7 is also provided with a safety net 13 spanning the upstream opening end 11 and the downstream opening end 12, and a discharge hole 14 for discharging water downstream near the downstream opening end 12. Furthermore, a water collecting device 15 is provided to receive running water discharged from the upstream opening end 11 and arranged in the pool 5. Furthermore, as shown in FIG.
is formed in the eccentric enlarged portion 8. The eccentric enlarged portion 8 has a large opening including the downstream opening end 12,
This is intended to give a sense of security to those who are passing through the opening end spacing section 6 or the opening end step section 7, and the downstream opening end 12 has the same curvature as the upstream opening end 11 at the edge in contact with the flowing water. The opening edge is formed so as to protrude outward in the radial direction toward the upper edge of the slideway 3 to form an eccentric oval-shaped opening end, and the opening edge gradually increases as it recedes from the opening end. It is formed so as to have a small protruding radius so as to be in contact with the wall surface of the slideway 3.

Moreover, FIG. 5 is an application example of a slideway in which open slideways are provided overlappingly.

(Effects) According to this invention, the downhill path, which is formed with a single axis, has discontinuous sections at multiple points, allowing skiers to enjoy a varied downhill slope. . In addition, at the opening end spacing portion and the opening end step portion that form the discontinuous portion, the skier can enjoy the thrill of flying through the air along with the water flow. In addition, it is possible to provide a slide that utilizes water flow that allows for variable downhill slides, such as the ability to experience the joy of flying through the air with the water flow while experiencing a momentary sense of relief amidst the thrill of the eccentric expansion opening.
