Movement Mode: The central column drives the crossarm to rotate, and the hanging seats swing outward under the action of centrifugal force, forming a beautiful arc in the air, with a maximum swing height of 3-5 meters from the ground, bringing a comfortable and immersive flying experience.
Main Structure & Crossarm: The main central column and crossarm are made of Q345 high-strength carbon steel, complying with TSG 71-2023 "Safety Technical Regulations for Large-Scale Amusement Facilities" and GB 8408-2018 "Safety of Amusement Machines and Equipment". The main column adopts a seamless steel pipe with a thickness of ≥10mm, and the crossarm uses a national standard 114 steel pipe with a wall thickness of 3mm, ensuring excellent load-bearing capacity and stability. The surface is treated with rust removal, oil removal, sandblasting, and double-layer electrostatic spraying, which is anti-corrosion, anti-UV, and anti-fading, and can maintain stable performance for more than 12 years in outdoor harsh environments. All welding parts are inspected by ultrasonic flaw detection to ensure no welding defects and avoid structural damage caused by long-term high-intensity operation.
Hanging Seats & Safety Belts: Each seat is made of high-strength FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) with a thickness of ≥5mm, which is non-toxic, environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant, and impact-resistant, complying with international environmental protection and safety standards. The seat surface is designed according to ergonomics, with soft and wear-resistant cushions, which can reduce the sense of pressure during swinging and improve riding comfort. The hanging ropes adopt marine-grade steel wire ropes with a diameter of 20mm, with a stainless steel core and rubber outer sleeve, which are wear-resistant, tensile, and anti-breakage, ensuring the safety of passengers during the swing. Each seat is equipped with a double safety protection system: adjustable lap bar and high-strength safety belt, suitable for passengers with a height of 1.1m-1.9m, firmly fixing the body and preventing accidental slipping.
Transmission & Safety Components: The transmission system adopts a high-efficiency reducer and a frequency conversion motor, which ensures stable rotation and smooth speed regulation, avoiding sudden jitter and improving riding comfort. The braking system adopts an electromagnetic braking device, which has fast response, stable braking, and no wear, and can stop the equipment safely and quickly in case of emergency. All connecting parts adopt Grade 8.8 high-strength galvanized bolts and stainless steel anti-theft nuts, which are firm and reliable, and can effectively prevent loosening during long-term rotation. In addition, the equipment is equipped with overload protection, speed detection, and emergency stop devices, which can monitor the operation status in real time and eliminate potential safety hazards.
Electrical & Auxiliary Materials: The entire electrical system adopts IP55 waterproof, dustproof, and leakage-proof design, suitable for outdoor complex environments. All wires use flame-retardant cables that meet national standards to avoid short circuits, leakage, and other electrical hazards. The control system adopts an intelligent PLC control console, which can realize one-key start-stop, speed regulation, and fault alarm, with simple operation and easy learning. The passenger platform is paved with high-friction non-slip冲孔板, which is treated with dip-coating to prevent slipping caused by crowding or wet ground, and the edge is equipped with high-strength safety railings to ensure the safety of passengers waiting for the ride.
The design of Flying Chair Swing Ride adheres to the concept of "elegant, fun, and customizable", focusing on visual beauty and theme integration, which can perfectly match the overall style of the amusement park and become a beautiful landscape in the venue. It combines modern engineering aesthetics with entertainment needs, with a variety of design styles to choose from, adapting to different venue positioning. The specific design details are as follows:
Overall Shape: The overall shape is elegant and light, with a simple and beautiful outline. The central column is cylindrical, and the top is designed with decorative components such as crowns, flowers, or cartoon shapes, which are vivid and lovely. The crossarm is evenly distributed, and the hanging seats are arranged in a circular shape, which can swing freely with the rotation, forming a beautiful arc in the air, like a group of birds flying in the sky. The overall structure is reasonable, with a strong sense of hierarchy, which can attract the attention of tourists at the first sight.
Color System: The main colors are bright and lively, such as red, yellow, blue, green, and purple, which are highly saturated and have strong visual impact, conforming to the happy atmosphere of the amusement park. It also supports customized color combinations and enterprise VI color matching, which can be integrated with the theme of the amusement park. For example, the fairy tale theme can adopt pink and white matching, the ocean theme can adopt blue and white matching, and the carnival theme can adopt colorful matching, enhancing the overall sense of coordination. The surface of the seats and crossarms is painted with automotive-grade high-temperature baking paint, which is wear-resistant and not easy to fade.
Theme Integration: It supports personalized theme customization, and can be designed into fairy tale, ocean, forest, carnival, and other themes according to the needs of the venue. The surface of the central column and seats can be painted with theme patterns, such as cartoon characters, flowers, animals, or marine elements, and can be matched with theme decorations such as hanging flags and light boxes to enhance the theme atmosphere. Some models can also design the seats into animal shapes (such as butterflies, birds, fish) to increase the fun of riding, especially attracting children.
Lighting System:
Central Column & Crossarm: The entire central column and crossarm are equipped with RGB full-color LED light strips, which are closely attached to the surface, supporting monochromatic, gradient, flashing, flowing, and other dynamic effects. The light can be synchronized with the operation state of the equipment: when rotating slowly, the light is soft and gradient; when rotating at a faster speed, the light flashes rapidly, forming a colorful light circle in the air, creating a dazzling visual effect.
Seats & Hanging Ropes: Each seat is equipped with LED decorative lights, which can highlight the shape of the seat and create a layered sense of light. The hanging ropes are wrapped with LED light strips, which can emit soft light, making the seats look like glowing stars in the air when rotating at night. The top of the central column is equipped with dynamic projection lights, which can project theme patterns on the ground or surrounding buildings, enhancing the interactive sense and romantic atmosphere.
Control Area & Platform: The control console and passenger platform are equipped with warm white LED lighting, which not only plays a lighting role but also ensures the safety of passengers waiting and operating, and the light brightness is adjustable to avoid dazzling. At night, the entire equipment is like a glowing Ferris wheel, which is the visual focus of the amusement park and greatly improves the night tour experience of the venue.
Sound System: Equipped with professional amusement-grade high-fidelity surround sound, built-in lively and cheerful music, flying prompt sound effects, and theme sound effects, with clear sound quality and moderate volume, which will not cause noise interference. The sound effect is synchronously linked with the operation of the equipment: when starting, the music is gentle and pleasant, creating a sense of expectation; when rotating at a constant speed, the music becomes lively and cheerful, matching the flying experience, greatly enhancing the immersive sense. The volume is adjustable, and it can also play customized music according to the venue theme.
