Now, let's learn how does the pirate ship ride work.
Pirate ship amusement ride mainly consists of mechanical system and electrical system.
Mechanical System
Three-phase alternating current drives the big caster to do to-and-from swinging movement through the reducer. When the boat-body contacts the big caster, the caster wheel rotation rubs the bottom track of the ship-body, making the ship-body swing higher in short time. It swings the highest point, and then swings back by gravity. At this time, when the ship-body contacts the caster again, the caster has reversed rotation, and it rubs the ship-body track in the opposite direction, making the ship-body swing the highest point contrarily. When it swings the highest point and swings back by gravity. In such a way, the Mini Pirate Ship could do the reciprocating motion (similar to swing). The frequency converter and motor in the electric control cabinet keep the whole machine operate steadily.
Electrical System
a) Electrical system consists of electrical control cabinet, rotating electrical machine, conducting ring and decorating circuit of LED lights.
b) Working Principle of Electrical System The power supply of three-phase four-line 380V enters into the electric control box through the total power switch (configured by users). The detailed steps are as follows: firstly, turn on the automatic air switch on the control box panel; secondly, switch on the control power switch to control electric circuit, waiting for the next step; thirdly, press the BELL button, circuit will bell 5 seconds as preparation; fourthly, press the ROTATION button, circuit enter the timing-operation state which brings rotating machinery electric power to drive amusement ride rotate. 24V AC gets to lights decoration circuit through the conductive ring and produce different patterns of lights flashing effect. Otherwise, run periodic time can adjust by controlling the small button on time-relay of the control box.
