What is Tipping Buckets for Water Park

Created on 10.09

The "9-in-1 Conical Tipping Buckets" is a frequently used simple interactive aquatic play equipment, which can be widely used in water parks, theme parks and splash pads. It is an interactive water park equipment for children, which realizes the process of filling and tipping regularly. It is an equipment with high mechanical and material technology content and interactive entertainment connotation, which is an important equipment in the modern aquatic recreation area. This paper will make a detailed analysis on structural specifications, operation principle and safety design of the water play.

1.Materials.

The physical structure of the splash park equipment has been carefully designed and calculated to ensure that the Tipping Buckets can be used stably and durably in the outdoor environment with high humidity. The equipment occupies the space of 300*300*280cm externally, so that the aqua park equipment can be a relatively attractive sight and can be used in different scale venues. The whole water park equipment is supported by 114mm steel column, which bears the weight of the equipment and dynamic load. As for the material selection, the nine conical tipping buckets are made of fiberglass, which has strong anti-corrosion and anti-light damage ability. In addition, the fiberglass can be molded and painted in bright color to attract more visual attention. All the water outlet with 63mm steel pipe is made of galvanized steel pipe. The galvanic layer can prevent the iron from being corroded and rusted, which can protect water quality and extend the service life of plumbing system.

2. Interactive.

The tipping buckets principle is based on the gravity and moment. After starting the water play, the water is continuously supplied from inside the splash pad equipment to the nine conical buckets. With the increase of water volume, the center of gravity of water is also increased and changed. When the water level reaches the tipping moment, the torque of the weight of water is larger than the moment of inertia of the moment, so that the moment condition of the conical bucket can not be met, and the bucket can not be balanced. At this time, the bucket will lose its stability and tip over instantly, pouring out the water accumulated in the bucket.

When the water tipping down from the bucket, there will be a beautiful waterfall or water curtain. Since there may be certain deviations in the amount of water added or the initial state of each bucket, the tipping of nine buckets is not necessarily synchronous, so the order of buckets tipping may be staggered. Users stand below, waiting for the moment when the water drops. When the water drops, they will get a strong sense stimulation and a refreshing splash. The whole process of anticipation to surprise is the interactive mode of this tipping buckets. Users must operate it again and again to get the next interactive experience.

3.Safety.

Because it is a public play amenity that is open to the public, and even more so when children are involved, the first and foremost principle of safety in its design is as follows: First, in terms of structural safety, the 9 in 1 tipping buckets adopts a three-dimensional frame structure, just like a climbing frame or monkey bars. Many 114mm columns are fixed on the overhead beams and connect together to form an indivisible whole. This structure that looks like a framework for supporting arches, significantly improves the overall rigidity of the entire structure by distributing the weight to multiple supports. Therefore, in addition to supporting the full weight of the equipment and water, it can also withstand eccentric loads caused by improper use by users, for example children climbing on it, thus eliminating the risk of tipping or lack of stability at the very beginning from its design.

Secondly, in terms of the safety of contacts made by users, the selected fiberglass and galvanized steel are non-toxic, durable, environmentally friendly, durable, and smooth surfaces after polishing, without burrs, and the corners are all rounded to avoid possible scratching or impact injuries made to children during play.

Lastly, in terms of hydraulic safety design, the 63mm outlet diameter and tipping height are all carefully calculated. The water descends as a dispersed and low-pressure cascade instead of a high-pressure jet. It controls the impact force on the human body and maintains it within absolutely safe limits. Lastly, strict adherence to professional installation standards and regular maintenance plans are the process guarantees for the water game equipment to remain safely operational for a long time.
