TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a gyro capsule ride, and more particularly, to a gyro capsule ride that can rotate an occupant by an external drive source.

According to U.S. Patent No. 5,046,721 dated September 10, 1991, consisting of three rings, the inner ring is rotatably installed about the first axis in the interior of the intermediate ring, and the intermediate ring has a first side inside the outer ring. A gyroscope mechanism is described that is rotatably installed about a second orthogonal axis. The gyroscope mechanism is configured to enable the aerial rotation by rotating the inner ring and the middle ring with respect to the middle ring and the outer ring, respectively, by the passenger hanging on the inner ring and moving the center of gravity of the body of the passenger. To this end, a means for holding the foot and a grip for holding by hand are provided to allow the occupant to hang on the inner ring. Since the gyroscope mechanism is rotated in the inner ring in accordance with the movement of the occupant's body, it is very dangerous for children or the elderly to use, and thus it cannot be used as a normal play equipment.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gyro capsule ride that can rotate the occupant by an external drive source so that the child or the elderly can ride and use it as a ride.

This object of the invention is an inner ring, an intermediate ring rotatably mounted about a first axis with respect to the inner ring, and rotatable about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis with respect to the intermediate ring. The outer ring, a leg member for fixing the outer ring on the ground, a chair member fixed and fixed to the inner side of the inner ring, and a safety cover to securely fix the occupant sitting on the chair member to the chair member. A gyro capsule ride, comprising: an intermediate ring rotating mechanism for rotating the intermediate ring with respect to the outer ring, and an inner ring rotating to rotate the inner ring in conjunction with this by rotating the intermediate ring by the intermediate ring rotating mechanism This can be achieved by providing a gyro cap shoe ride which includes a mechanism.

These and other advantages of the present invention will be better understood from the following description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the gyro capsule ride 1 according to the present invention has an inner ring 2 and an intermediate ring 3 and an outer ring 4 and the outer ring 4. It consists of the leg part 5 for support.

The inner ring 2 is rotatably mounted with respect to the intermediate ring 3 by rotating shafts 6a and 6b located on the first side line Y-Y. In order to rotate the inner ring 2 with respect to the intermediate ring 3, a rotating disc 7 mounted on the outer extension of the intermediate ring of the rotating shafts 6a and 6b, and this rotating winch in accordance with the rotation of the intermediate ring. An inner ring rotating mechanism 9 is provided that includes a friction plate strip 8 fixed to the outer ring 4 so as to intermittently contact the seven and rotate the rotating disc 7. This inner ring rotation mechanism 9 is rotated in the direction of the arrow (A) in accordance with the rotation of the intermediate ring (3) to be described later, as shown in Figure 3, the rotary plate 7 is It is comprised so that it may rotate with the side 6a in the arrow direction B about the axis 6a, and to rotate the inner ring 2 with respect to the intermediate ring 3. As shown in FIG. The outer circumferential surface of the rotating disc 7 and the surface of the plate strip 8 are coated with a material such as rubber to increase friction, and the rotating disc 7 smoothly guides the initial engagement with the plate strip 8. In order to achieve this, both ends of the plate strip 8 are slightly bent in the direction opposite to the engaging surface. In order to more secure the interlocking between the rotating disk and the plate strip constituting the inner ring rotating mechanism 9, teeth may be formed on the engaging surface of the rotating disk and the plate strip to form a rack and pinion mechanism. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the friction plate strip is configured to be pivoted about the pivot shaft 8a and elastic means (not shown) are provided on the pivot shaft 8a so that the plate strip is rotated. It is also possible to raise the frictional force of a plate strip and a rotating disc further by making it bias to the center axis direction of (7).

Inside the inner ring, a seat member 10 for occupant seating is fixedly mounted, and a safety cover 12 configured to be pivoted with respect to the fever shaft 11 is installed in the inner ring of the front of the chair member 10. have. The safety cover 12 includes one rod 12a extending linearly from the pivot shaft 11 and two rods 12b branching from the rod 12a and having a substantially inverted J shape. And two handles 12c provided on the rod 12b, respectively. When the occupant sits on the chair member l0 and pulls the safety cover 12 to hold the handle 12c with both hands, the rod l2b surrounds the chest and shoulders of the occupant, so that the occupant rides the gyro capsule ride 1 of the present invention. Even if the aerial is rotated in the interior of the can be securely fixed to the chair member (10). In order to further enhance safety, it is preferable to provide a separate seat belt (not shown) on the chair member 10. In addition, although the safety cover l2 is configured to be pivoted with respect to the pivot shaft 11 on the inner ring 2, the safety cover l2 may be pivoted on the chair member 10.

The intermediate ring 3 is rotatably mounted with respect to the outer ring 4 by rotating shafts 13a and 13b located on the second axis X-X orthogonal to the first axis Y-Y. As an intermediate ring rotating mechanism for rotating the intermediate ring 3 with respect to the outer ring 4, the rotary handle 14 is mounted on the outer shaft extension of the outer ring 4 of the rotating shaft 13a. By rotating the rotary handle 14, the rotary shaft 13a and the rotary shaft 13b rotate to rotate the intermediate ring 3. Rotating handle 14 has a circular configuration, as shown, is located in the middle of the outer ring (3), but it is provided with a handle perpendicular to the handle so that the rotary shaft (13a) can be easily rotated and its position is also the outer ring ( It can also comprise lower than the intermediate part of 3). In addition, the intermediate rotation mechanism is provided with a pulley instead of the rotary handle 14 on the rotating shaft (13a) and provided with a transmission belt 15 and an electric motor 16 connected thereto as shown by the dotted line in FIG. The inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3 may be rotated by the driving force of the electric motor 16. In this case, it is preferable to use an appropriate deceleration mechanism.

The outer ring 4 is lifted from the ground by the four leg members 5 and fixed so as not to move.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the inner ring 2 consists of two rings, the intermediate ring 3 consists of one ring, and the outer ring 4 consists of four rings. The number of these rings is for the overall structure's support and rotational stability, and may be more or less than this if necessary.

Now, the operation of the gyro capsule ride device 1 of the present invention having the above configuration will be described.

First, after the occupant sits on the chair member 10, the safety cover 12 is pulled over the chest and shoulders of the safety cover 12 to grab the handle (l2c) is ready. At this time, it is also possible to provide a separate seat belt if necessary. In this ready state, when the rotary handle 14 is rotated from the outside or the electric motor 16 is driven to rotate the rotary shaft 13a, the rotary shafts 13a and 13b are rotatable to the outer ring 4. The mounted intermediate ring 3 rotates about the outer ring 4 about the second axis XX. As the intermediate ring 3 rotates, the inner ring 2 connected to the intermediate ring 3 by the rotation shafts 6a and 6b rotates about the second axis XX, but the rotation shafts 6a and 6b. Whenever the rotating disc 7 fixed to the plate 7 comes into contact with the plate strip 8, the rotating disc 7 rotates to rotate the rotating shafts 6a and 6b, whereby the inner ring 2 is also connected to the intermediate shaft 3. It is to rotate about the first axis (YY) with respect to. Thus, the occupant sitting on the chair member 8 is to rotate in mid-air about the first and second axes Y-Y, X-X. At this time, the occupant is in close contact with the chair member (10) by the safety cover 12 can safely rotate in the air without falling from the chair member (10). Therefore, it can be seen that the gyro capsule ride of the present invention is configured to safely enjoy the air rotation play even in the case of children or the elderly.
