Working Principle of Drop Tower - Complex Sports Experience
Hydraulic Drive for Ascending Stage
As the power source, the hydraulic cylinder moves downward to pull the wire rope to drive the lifting frame to move upward, and then slows down and stops after reaching the top without supplying energy.
Gravitational Potential Energy for Descending Stage
After reaching the top, the cabin falls freely along the track due to the gravitational potential energy generated by its own weight and the passengers’ weight. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Motor Drive for Rotary Motion
The rotary motion runs independently due to the slewing bearing driven by the reduction motor:
- Cabin Rotation: A reduction motor drives a pinion that engages a slewing bearing, causing the cabin to rotate horizontally around the vertical axis.
- Tower Rotation: A base motor drives the slewing bearing, causing the entire tower to rotate.
