Bumper cars, a classic in amusement parks, combine collision excitement with safety, serving as a social entertainment for all ages. This article analyzes how bumper cars achieve this balance from three perspectives: vehicle structure, powertrain, and safety features.
1、Vehicle Structure: A Synergy of Rigid Frame and Flexible Cushioning
The bumper car's body has a dual - layer design of "rigid frame + flexible cushioning" to handle high - speed collisions. For instance, the Skynet bumper car's frame is made of welded Q235 steel with electrostatic spray - coated paint for strength and corrosion resistance. It's surrounded by a rubber cushioning tire over 70mm thick. When colliding at 8km/h, the tire absorbs energy through deformation, reducing the impact force by over 60%.
2、Power System: Precision Control and Redundant Design
Ground - grid bumper cars have a dual - layer power supply. The ceiling's conductive grid is the positive terminal, and the 4mm thick floor steel plate is the negative terminal. Current reaches the drive motor through the roof copper roller and ground wheels, with motor power of 200W - 230W and a max speed of 8km/h, meeting GB 18169 - 2008.
It uses bevel gear meshing. Turning the steering wheel converts rotational motion to lateral wheel movement for 360° direction change. A pin connection and backlash compensation device prevent steering failure from gear wear, keeping steering wheel travel ≤5°.
The motor has an overload protection module. When the vehicle is obstructed and current exceeds 1.5 times the rated value, power cuts off to prevent motor burning.
3、 Safety Protection: A Multi - Barrier Protection System
Four - point seatbelts and 1.2m - high guardrails offer dual protection. For instance, the “All - Around Body - Sensing Bumper Car” has safety bars at the seat front and restraints on backrests to prevent inertial injuries during collisions.
The internal power supply is a safe 48V, and decorative lighting voltage accessible to passengers doesn't exceed 24V. The power transformer's insulation resistance between primary and secondary windings exceeds 7MΩ (national standard is 2MΩ). Emergency disconnect switches in the parking lot can stop over 10 vehicles via a remote - control module for emergencies.
